Mr. Robot: Exciting time in the world right now.

Exciting time.

If you agree to testify, I will testify that I broke chain of custody with the .DAT file.

We've implemented a honey pot, CS30.

I'd like to look over your findings, especially this server.

Detectives came by. They want to speak with you.

They found a body on the roof.


And you both did know the deceased.

Sharon Knowles.

Sharon Knowles?

Aah!

I think the baby's coming.

We got to get her to the hospital.

Tell me about your father.

I remember I tried to hug him, tell him I'm sorry, and he shoved me so hard, I fell backwards out the window.

Oh, my God, Elliot!

Did you forget again? Did you forget who I am?

I'm your...

Sister.

I think we should talk.

It hasn't happened since 1904, the year John McGraw decided to take his bat and ball and go home. Here we are 90 years later, and I want to get your thoughts on what it was like to be without the 1994 World Series.

That's right, the 1994 World Series cancelled...


[phone ringing]

If you would have told me back in August when the players voted to walk out that we would be here where we are today, I would have told you no way, no how, that's not gonna happen.

But hey, if I ever get it wrong, I admit it.

So, what happened? I want to hear from you...


Mr. Robot.

Um, well, I'd recommend the Pentium 90.

They're lighting fast, and we've got some in stock now.

With an 800 megabyte hard drive, you'll be all set.

Or we could save you a few bucks and upgrade what you have.

Once we swap out that motherboard and hard drive, you'll be better than new.

Why don't you bring it on by, and we'll take a look.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

What happened? That new mouse not work out for you?

Your son, he stole money from me.

Uh, excuse me?

Your son stole money from me. I pulled out my wallet, and I specifically remembered I had three 20s.

Now I only have one.

I used one to pay for the mouse, and then I had two left.

Your son was standing right behind me when I had my money out on the counter.

I... just calm down.

I'm sure there's an explanation for this.

I don't want an explanation.

The only thing I want from you is my money and a f... ING apology.

There's no need for that.

I'm just trying to figure it out.

Can you tell how much of a sh*t I give about that?

Ugh. I don't have time for this.

Are you giving me my money or not?

Look, do the right thing here, guy.

Then, no.

Excuse me?

The answer's no.

Are you... you being serious right now?

[sighs] I can't help you.

You... you're really just gonna sit there and lie?

I should call the cops!

[laughs]

What an example you're setting.

I... I earn my money, and you're just teaching him how to steal.

You're a terrible father.

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

You're a nobody.

You're a middle-aged man doing what my Ret*rded nephew could do.

That's your life. [laughs]

You know what? Keep your 20.

I'll just go to Best Buy from now on.

[laughs] God...

[door bell jingles]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Come on out.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Dad, I didn't do it.

Let me see it.

[sighs]

[sighs]

"Timecop" or "Stargate"?

What? 20 bucks ought to cover the both of us.

"Pulp Fiction"? Never heard of it.

Sure I can take you to that?

All right, get your jacket.

[coughing]

[sighs]

What?

How come I'm not in trouble?

Even though what you did was wrong, you're still a good kid, and that guy was a prick.

Sometimes that matters more.

Come on, let's go. It starts in 15 minutes.

I want to get some popcorn. Come on.

We have to be more careful, now more than ever.

And Darlene, she knew about this?

Elliot, I will explain everything, but right now, tonight, we have to stick to the plan.

No, Harry, I can't right now.

We just need to talk to him.

Yeah, well, he doesn't want to talk back.

And if he does, it's usually with a bunch of lies.

We can't keep protecting him from himself, Darlene.

He has saved our asses multiple times, and you're just gonna do him like this?

Why do you even care?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means you guys were never that close.

In fact, he's been doing just fine until you moved back to the city.

Why are you even here?

Why have you and Elliot been spending so much time together?

Okay, you need to back off, babe.
