EXit/Summary

As the FBI knock on her door on the night of the Deus hack, Whiterose applies lipstick in the mirror. A gunfire fight ensues in the house. Whiterose waits as the battle finishes and her men escort her out of the blood ridden scene. Whiterose tells a dying soldier that Minister Zhang is dead and that there is only Whiterose.

The next day, at the roadside motel, Elliot and Darlene hug goodbye. He gives her advice for her roadtrip. Elliot says he's been through a lot and thanks her for never giving up on him. Darlene sees Dom and parts ways, celebrating their accomplishment one last time. She sees Mr. Robot leaning against a car and says he grew on her. Robot cautions Elliot, but he is set on disabling Whiterose's machine based on the USB Price gave him. Robot notes that they could cause a meltdown at the nuclear powerplant. Elliot has already written the malware to safely do it. Robot insists the Deus hack was their goal, but Elliot says Whiterose isn't dead until her machine is. He argues that the machine is where it all started. Robot calls it an endless war, taking down symbols, and they have to move on. Elliot looks over his shoulder and sees the younger versions of his mother and himself. Elliot thinks maybe Robot should go with them. He wants to do this alone. Elliot walks away. Magda and the child Elliot join Mr. Robot.

Elliot boards a bus. He gets off in Washington Township, passing under a graffitied archway. He approaches the nuclear powerplant and finds the security booth empty. Elliot enters with ease and finds the lobby empty and disheveled. In the offices, he plugs his drive into a computer and uploads his malware. It's successful, but he notices a dead body in another cubicle. Police sirens wail outside. Helicopters buzz above. Elliot looks over and finds Dark Army soldiers and Hamburger Man waiting for him. They escort him down hallways with various murdered workers all around. In the lower levels, Elliot is led to a room. He sees blanked out faces on the walls.

Inside is a room with a fish tank in the wall, an old computer, a book, a telephone, and two chairs. Whiterose enters and sits down. Elliot says this won't work on him. The objects from his past and Qwerty in the fish tank. Brainwashing won't work on him like it did Angela. Whiterose insists this procedure isn't about brainwashing, but understanding. Whiterose places a box on the table. She says she grew up with pain, not being born who she was meant to be. She is tired of this world and its pain. All she wants is to deliver a better world. Elliot sits down. He concludes that what she wants is to destory the world and everyone she hates. He says she can't see the good in people. Whiterose laughs. She says it is everyone else who hates humanity and she who sacrifices to make the world better. Her love drives her. It is Elliot who hates society. He agrees. He's been scared of people his whole life. People who hurt him. Fuck society. But there are some rare, special people who care for you no matter what. They love him, even if he can't, and it heals him. Whiterose grows emotional. Elliot says people hurt each other, but we keep on living. For this he won't give up and tells Whiterose: "Fuck you."

An red alarm goes off in the room. Whiterose informs him the plant is losing it's cooling system because her machine takes a lot of power. Elliot insists his malware corrupted it, but Whiterose tells him the machine was already running when they caught his attack. She tells him all the lives lost in this journey will be returned once everything turns into a parallel world. Elliot tells her the machine will cause a meltdown, which is why Whiterose tried to move the project. She says all the people who will die will be reborn. She says she will show Elliot what she showed Angela. She takes a gun from the box and points it at Elliot. He gets to decide their intertwined fates. Elliot says don't do this. Whiterose shoots herself in the head.

Elliot tries to escape but the doors are locked. He says he doesn't know what to do. Mr. Robot appears and tells him to try the phone. A voice says "0509" and starts speaking Russian. Elliot notices Tolstoy's "Resurrection" on the table. Mr. Robot enters the code and opens the door. In the book, Elliot discovers a floppy disk labeled "eXit". Robot wants to leave. Elliot wants to stop the meltdown and save the town. Elliot remembers that Whiterose said he had a choice. He puts the disk into the computer. It loads a text based game called "eXit." The player and a friend are trapped in a dungeon. They find a secret tunnel. The friend is too weak to continue and gives you a note. It is too dark to read. Player leaves and finds a boat, winning the game and leaving for a new world. The alarm continues. Robot wants to leave. Elliot is perplexed that Whiterose wanted him to win.

He plays the game again. Elliot chooses to sit down with the friend in the dungeon. He lights a match and reads the note "Don't leave me here." Elliot chooses to stay. The alarm shuts off. An explosion happens nearby. Robot opens the door to find a fire raging outside. He concludes it's too late. Both of them sit down. They each say "I love you." Explosions rage around the room. "It's an exciting time in the world," Elliot says. Fade to red.

A phone rings its alarm at 11:16. A man gets out bed, raises the curtains of his bedroom, and puts on music. It appears to be Elliot in his pristine apartment. He briefly rubs his head. In the shower he dances and then dresses in a preppy outfit. He touches his head again and takes something for the pain. His apartment begins to shake. He receives a Skype call from Angela. They discuss if that was an earthquake just now. She asks if he's ready for a work presentation that he doesn't seem to remember. He says he woke up with a bad headache. Angela notices his moving supples in the back that he hasn't started on. Elliot's dad Edward emails him about traffic. Angela calls him such an only child that his dad is worried about him. She asks if he is keeping anything from her and he seems different. Must be the migraine. "Can't wait to marry you tomorrow," Angela says, signing off.

Elliot calls someone but there's no answer. He calls the Mr. Robot computer repair store where Edward answers in the backroom. Edward misplaced his phone. Elliot discusses Angela being suspicious about their secret. Edward calms him as a customer enters through the front. Edward finds no one in the storefront, expect his cell phone on the ground. It is 11:16 am, Friday May 9.

Elliot enters the Allsafe office. The news recounts the 5.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Washington Township at 7:30 am. Elliot greets Lloyd at his desk, but feels his headache again. Elliot prepares him for the E Corp meeting soon, while Lloyd corrects him to "F Corp." Lloyd senses nervousness. Ollie walks up and hypes himself up. After Ollie leaves, Elliot sees a commercial for F Corp that briefly flashes to E Corp. The news then cover Zhi Zhang, a woman known for her philanthropy through her Deus charity and Whiterose Foundation. Elliot tells Lloyd they have to land this account. He walks into his office at CEO of Allsafe.

In the meeting, Elliot delivers his presentation to F Corp. The executives look to their leader, Tyrell Wellick. The hoodie wearing, bearded Tyrell asks for him and Elliot to be left alone. Tyrell says he doesn't think Allsafe is the right fit. He asks Elliot what the worst part of his life is right now. Elliot says the worst thing is also the best thing: a boring daily routine. He imagines what an exciting life would be. Tyrell feels the same about F Corp, being the best and worst. His company provides happiness to people, but could also be their undoing. Elliot pledges the worst will never happen with Allsafe. He has seen the worst that can happen to his company and can prevent it, due to the analytical reports. Tyrell just wants to know if Elliot is on his side.

Elliot and Edward toast at a restaurant for landing the F Corp account. Elliot is solemn. Edward presents him with what they agreed upon, a signed 1st edition of The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler. Elliot is going to drop it off at Angela's apartment while she's not home. He calls to see if her mom is there. The phone picks up but hangs up immediately. Edward wants to eat, but Elliot forgot his wallet. Edward gives him money to but flowers. Later, Elliot brings flowers to Angela's apartment while talking to her on the phone. In the garbage he notices bloody tissues and a broken glass. Angela confirms her parents were just there, while Elliot notes her father's drinking. Elliot places the gift on the table and reminds her they are getting married tomorrow.

On the ride home, Elliot is smiling and asks the driver to turn up the radio. Returning to his apartment, he finds hoodie Elliot at his computer. "Who are you?" Elliot asks.
