got a camera, few terminals. I hope Joey went in there and saved him. I don't know why I'm thinking of irrational things. There's blood on the screen. This is bad, bro. Yo, yo, yo, what is up everybody? Welcome back to another Mr. Robot season 3 episode 7. We're going to be getting into this, and as always, things are going to go down. I feel like we are climaxing into like, uh, uh, obviously season 4, but there's just a lot more that is still beyond the threshold of our information that I'm excited to see get revealed to us. And um, not even just like, you know, being revealed, but how it'll be revealed. I'm very curious to hear more about uh, White Rose's plan. I'm I'm very curious to to see what Tyrell Wellick is going to do and how he's going to be in FBI custody and how he's going to cope with the fact that, you know, he lost his family essentially, you know. I mean, I know his

kid is still there, but it's probably not the best idea to be anywhere around the kid right now when you're like a wanted fugitive. But there's a lot of things happening. I mean, even with Mr. Robot's relationship with Elliot or vice versa, and how for the first time they actually worked together. Not to say that they haven't worked together, but this one was a lot more of like a stalemate that gave both of them the win. Because, yeah, as we saw last time in other seasons, whenever they would play chess with one another, it would end up being a stalemate. There's no winning against that. I love how horrifyingly truthful that is. You know, it really, they really stuck to their guns with how much of a stalemate this is. And if it ends in a stalemate, Elliot is going to lose. And so it was cool to be able to see it still continuously end in a stalemate, but it came out with Mr. Robot and Elliott both winning.

In the end, um, at least for a little bit until we realized that all the places that Elliot sent those um additional papers out to uh were blown up. They were they were they were blown up multiple buildings just absolutely going in D structor mode and just you know causing mass chaos. I mean this is something that is on a scale that I don't think any of them could comprehend um other than white rose but yeah it's going to be it's going to be interesting seeing everyone's reaction from this especially Angela's. Angela's heart's been very closed throughout this entire season and a little bit in the last season so it's going to be interesting seeing how just the effect and the gravity of that weighs on her. So again as always I'm excited to jump into this. I hope you guys are too.

I am very grateful for these recaps, 'cause, uh, man, it's just so damn dense how each episode from this kind of just comes at you. It's wild. Also, it kind of lowkey sets up with the episode you're about to watch is what it's going to be about too. You said you'd bring my family to me. It's not going to work out the way we discussed it. The way Joanna died was so crazy, man. Like, there wasn't a second to reflect or anything, just gone, dead. Say I did you good, okay? Stay with my buddy in Arizona. If what I discovered is real, do you know what that means? You could potentially undo this whole thing. Excuse me, do you have the time? Okay, Joey, yo, I want to see his character more, man. I want to see his character. We are opening up to somebody slitting their throat. Oh

Boy, official pretty creepy way of opening up this just can't stop thinking about episode and God Joey man this is scary bro and it's not like he was slaying Hass neither this [ __ ] get more butt than astrays turn me your the [ __ ] situation comedies all together dude Joey oh man I know that's not his name in the show but come on y'all I'm so hyped to see him would have done it already your room here serves as a prime example to that damn then what is it holy crap that's his roommate yikes he just got his roommate killed that is a terrible thing to live with man plus anytime Mike spit game on a chick I swear I believe goddamn word it's crazy that this man Elliot was just talking to him day after day in a in prison not even in New York City they were in prison the whole time yikes what a way to open up man cool shot cool shot that reminds me of like some Breaking Bad type of is

right there, you know, that's a cool vibe. I like that. That's one of my more favorite openings right there. Destruction or worse if any additional attacks are to follow. Unfortunately, what we do know is that how does Mr. Robot film about himself being completely almost played by White Rose. Okay, H damn, where do you even start with this? Where do you even start with this? I love how claustrophobic the camera is right now on Elliott. I don't know if I can say it. I don't know if I can say it. Wait, camera movement, just the camera itself has so much emotion. I think it creates such a greater bond with these characters. Nice to see you again, beautiful. That's a wild switch-up right there. That is such a wild switch-up. It's to have total control, but that's the conspiracy, man. So you and Elliot, you want to challenge how crazy that statement sounds in today's society. I will say it's kind of crazy, not trying to get all conspiracy theory on here, but

All the paper records were centralized. That was it. Yeah, I've got to be honest with you, Mr. Robot. This sounds like delusions of grandeur. Oh, trust me, honey. This is not delusions of grandeur. He was working for me, but you and the rest of the world are never going to know that because you keep happily lapping up those sugar-coated pearls of semen they keep pouring down your throat. God damn, that's a wild way to say that's a wild thing to say. Ellie had worked at All Safe Ground Zero for 5'9. He's also arrested for hacking, even hacked. He's really just laying it out there on her. This therapist better get her money's worth. Oh man, AR, just that obstruction of justice on top of it. You saw the video. Time is not a luxury that you have, not with another attack on the horizon. Yeah, they're in a sticky situation. They've been in one ever since they've been introduced to the story. If I'm being honest with you, the FBI has been just kind of several steps behind even.

Though they may seem like they know what the blueprint of everything is, it's still just a blueprint. Then this deal is off, and we have our guy. It's a win-win for us either way. Why are you fighting with me on this? Because something's not adding up. Uh, you, you, you should keep, you should keep your, keep yourself, keep your thoughts to yourself, Dom. Keep your thoughts to yourself. This guy will kill you of our company's paper, Rec offal right now. The estimate's around 3,000. Oh my God, 3,000 people. 3,000 people died, bro. Oh my goodness, and they just started. Yeah, Angela, holy crap, that's be okay. That's damn, that's crazy. If there's anything to break your resolve, it's that. Do you think that they're going to be okay? No, I think they're dead. I think they're super dead. As you know, this is time-sensitive. Okay, yeah, that's his wife. That's his wife right there. Fast food restaurant in Manhattan, Flat IR District. 3,000 people died, man. That's a lot of

bodies, bro. Holy crap. There might be even more. I'm still like shook from that. Oh, here we go, man. Here we go. Is this where it happens right now? Is this where it happens? Damn. And they cut off the music while the camera cut off. I love when they do that. I love how connected they are within this story when it comes to the filmmaking. You don't really see it a lot. Rumor has it you're asking about your family. I I've been told that if I cooperate, your wife's dead. Oh my God. The way the camera cut in extremely close to Tyrrell's face. He shot her in the head at close range. It's nasty stuff. Lies. Ah man, this is crazy. That's brutal. They took the music out. That's brutal. Place a flower at your wife's grave and your son. I'll make it my personal mission to ensure he becomes a statistic. That's crazy, man. That's so crazy. God damn. That is such a like yo. This dude is terrible, man. Damn. That's

so brutal, Jesus. And we're just holding on to the shot. We have not cut to any angle from Tyrell, which leads me to believe this was all in one take for [Music] him. Jesus Christ, man, that's brutal, man. A lot of people were wondering, like, you know, Joanna's death was lackluster. I don't think it is because of this moment in particular. I feel like if this moment failed, then I would agree, but I feel like, you know, that scene that we just witnessed just makes Joanna's death so much more impactful. To someone I trust, I'm supposed to be on a Jane with wiita. That's funny, not even Jewish. It doesn't sound like she is either. I told you my 23 and me said I'm 6% Ashkenazi, and for your information, her full name is For Rosenberg. Look, Forn Rosenberg. Stop it, stop it, man, flipping out. I'm like a Sam Kinn and stand-up bit. I sh you Dev all at the Overlook Hotel. I'm me hot m Christian Bale levels of intensity and

hysteria, so please don't talk to me about how is she doing that. Holy crap, yo, she really broke out of that. That's crazy. How? How the hell does she do that? Don't do anything stupid, though. Joey will kill you. Yeah, Joey's not going to care. He's just going to look at him and be like, Wow, okay, that's some crazy sh** right there. Oh, Jesus Christ, no, that's not going to... Okay, okay, okay. God damn, yikes. You know that's not going to help, but I mean, you might as well fill it out. Like, Jesus, this is dark. This is a dark episode. This might be the darkest episode. Man, what are you doing here? Let me show you. Oh, yeah, just effed out of her mind, bro. She gets out, man. Damn, that sucks. Oh my goodness, she's replaying the moment where they were alive and when they weren't alive, and they're like alternate realities. Is that what she's about to do? It's a trap. It's a trap. I feel like you're about to be in a trap, fam.

is this is this that is this Lo is this the L of this universe he's working on cars too. That's how you know it's definitely a trap. Two was my operation. You [ __ ] went Ro. Nice going, bro. Come on, man. I don't know how you didn't see that one coming. Help me pressure the administration into giving you your damn Congo. All went according to plan, which leaves me struggling. He did it out of spite. He did it out of spite. He did it to hate you, to slap your hand. Angela Moss was allowed to continue with her lawsuit, which put my plant in jeopardy. Yo, he really did that because of Angela. That's crazy. Couldn't. And because of that, he blew up 71 buildings. What the man? And he manipulated Angela. That's crazy. Give me the real reason [ __ ] coming at me now. What in God's name do you hope to gain? These two feel like they're the only ones in the room because, Phillip, I had to ask you.

wi oh my god dude that is so crazy. That's so crazy. Yo, that is such a villain, bro. That's such a villain. That guy is a villain, man. Damn, holy crap, man. Kind of like you too, guys are funny in the Georgia Lane kind of way. Yeah, don't test them. That wasn't my fault. That wasn't supposed to happen. I want to know who made that call. Was it Tyrell? What about this other attack? That was never a part of my plan, man. It's just yelling in his ear right there, just yelling. Your Revolution is only allowed to happen 'cause it was bought and paid for by people like them. Wow, no way. No way. Way. So that's the 1% out of the 1%. Is that what they're saying? Literally nothing can stop these shindigs. Not thousands dead across the country, not a lifeless mystery man. This hits, man. This hits. This is dark, man.

yep, yep, that's crazy, man. That's really wild. This episode is just another world. This is on a whole other world of realism right here. Follow me into the garage. This episode seems like, like, like, I don't even know. It just feels so weighted. This is such a weighted episode. Goly, man. Oh no, Frei. Oh my God. Ah, that's terrible, man. That's so terrible. They framed them. They can't be seen anywhere now. Damn, that moment when he showed all those people just partying and dancing. That's crazy. That's such a visual, just gut punch, man. Stay safe out there, boys. Keep your head on a swivel, 'cause I feel like you can just do that even until, like, you can just expand that into, like, the world ending, and people would still be doing that, man. Okay, what in the Sakario? Damn, okay, they're planning another attack, probably like today, except this time they're crashing planes. Jesus Lord. Are they going to do an EMT attack or EMP attack where they just

ground all the planes. That's terrible, man. Without thinking twice, because we know we are all soldiers of something much larger. But then you do it. Then you do it. You do it, man. Thing. Come on, FBI. You guys got to have somewhat of a win here. You got to have somewhat of a win. Please do not kick down that door and they're already dead. Oh my God. To your very presence is only here to tell a story. Sadly, we have no use for your skills. I would not. I would not kill myself. No way. I'm going out fighting. I don't care. I'm going to at least make a scene and cause a ruckus so people know it wasn't me. Got a camera, few terminals. I hope Joey went in there and saved him. I don't know why I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of irrational things. There's blood on the screen. This is bad, bro. My God. Oh no. Oh my God. Oh my God. It actually happened, bro. One male civilian DOA on the ground with a

handgun. Holy crap, man. This is so dark. Ah, they took it there. They took it there. It's over, Toiro. I know we would have preferred to have gotten them alive, but at least we prevented another attack. Holy crap, man. That's so crazy. That's so crazy. His show is insane. This show is freaking insane. It's such a shame it doesn't get as much attention as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. This show is like, it's up there. Like, it's for real up there. This is insane. Holy crap. I feel so numb after this. You're actually going to get away with this. God damn, that's a horrifying feeling. Yep, that's what I feel. Yeah, in the episode. Yeah, I knew that, golly, man. This episode, I told y'all, it's too much weight. All right, everybody, we just got done watching. Hell, this episode. Oh, man, this was the darkest. This was the darkest one for sure. Holy crap, man. I'm shook from

a filmmaking standpoint. This was incredible. This was like one of the better episodes. Filmmaking wi. I loved all the really cool just tricks that they implemented within this episode where they stop the audio with the pressing of like the record button on a camera or a door closing or you know getting into a car and then like the music starts playing and then having like it cut off a moment later. It's just, it's really fun. The filmmaking is so fun, but it's all geared towards, you know, to increase that immersion, to help blend different art forms together so we can just be more in tune with, you know, these characters. Again, even the camera does that. When people feel something, the camera feels that as well, and it helps you see the feeling, you know. It's, there's no telling of it. There's always a showing of the feeling, and you know, it goes hand in hand with a lot of the themes and a lot of the more existential statements that are being said here, and it's such a a a

grotesque gut punch, man. It sucks. It sucks because we have to ask ourselves, like, is this how it's going to be, like, until the world just burns up in the sun after billions and billions of years? Like, is this always going to be the case? Are people like them always going to get away with things? Are people that, you know, can dance and have parties on top of rooftops after thousands of people are dying and have died? I mean, guys, I'm talking about this like right now. Like, I'm telling you that, like, the reason why this show is brilliant is because no matter what timeline, you can feel it. You can feel it talking to you. You can feel the lens aimed at you right now, and it does ponder that question, like, is ideology even enough? Like, it's very scary. It's very scary. You know, there's a whole bunch of talk of, like, puppets and, you know, I'm

just a chaperon like Joey Badass character said. It's just like, is it more so just who you have to be or who you want to be within someone else's board game? Like, is that really all this is, right? Ah man, it sucks, you know? That's terrible. That's crazy, man. Like, even thinking of these thoughts is different, difficult, but it's, you can't help it, right? This thing is really, it's really, it swirls around us like a gravitational field, you know? I don't want to accept that it's Humanity's, it's like it's baked in Humanity's existence, but like, how can, how, like, it's, it's so cooked, man, you know? Like, it's like, like, like, it's so cooked. How can I not say that it's baked in us, right? Like, what else is it like, man? Yeah, this was, this was a deep episode, man. This was, this was one of my more favorite episodes, but yeah, I wouldn't want to watch this episode again. It's pretty, it's a lot. That's a

lot guys, but I'm going to jump into the next one. So, you're in luck because I'm going in. We're going to go right into the next episode. As always, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. I'm curious to see and hear your thoughts on some of the scenes I didn't talk about. You know, 'cause my mind is scrambled right now. Like the conversation between those two juggernauts within that room. You know, how did you feel when they actually went and did that? You know, the whole scene with Tyro Wellik getting told about his wife and about his son. Man, dude, this is crazy. This is insane. All right, I'm going to hop into the next episode, you guys. Ponder on that 'cause I'm done doing that, okay? I'm done doing that for y'all. You guys take the wheel now. I'm going to go into the next episode. You're on Patreon. I'll see you in the next couple of seconds before everybody else. I'll see

you next week, so stay healthy and stay hydrated because we were just getting started. [Music] ja grab some matches 'cause they give them free just like my time hair P back in the back seat at fire up the BL on the back.
