Elliot Alderson and Mr. Robot in “Unfinished Business”

Elliot Alderson

It wasn't Romero. It was you who exported the keys. Why?

Mr. Robot

We're close, Elliot. You pull the ripcord now and everything will be for nothing. There was a huge cost to get to this point. I still believe if we hold out a little longer-

Elliot Alderson

No.

Mr. Robot

You do this, and they will have won. You really believe undoing this is gonna fix anything? Huh? Do you? I mean who is this really gonna help?

Elliot Alderson

Me. I'm doing this for me. I can't live with what I did anymore. And you're wrong. They won't win. Because one good thing came out of all of this. They showed themselves. The top one percent of the one percent. The ones in control. The ones who play god without permission. And now I'm gonna take them down. All of them.
