Even Elliot doesn't lock his workstation lmao. I remember seeing it in one of the episodes and I'm like bro lock your machine what kind of cyber security company is this.
I love how Elliot is so good at all aspects of hacking, social engineering included, that he as this horribly socially anxious awkward mess has no trouble flipping between four different characters when dealing with other people just to get the job done. Like as long as he's got a problem to solve he loses himself in the experience. But just chillin' he's ready to curl up in a corner for the night.
one of my favorite scenes in the show! i loved how they tricked you into thinking the old lady was gonna be easy to get by but she really held her own.
In the same vein as a sales rep who leaves their computer completely vulnerable but can recognize social engineering in a moment. Both are just as vulnerable in different ways.
I love the cinematography of this episode particularly how there's little to transition, making it look like one continuous shot. Really makes the episode have "gotta keep moving" or "adrenaline rush" vibe.
@@gagahusband No, cuts are hidden. Every shot ends when there is no characters on the screen and then they stich it together. Wall at 0:19 is an example. I know you don't care i just had to say it xD
@@yahyaciftci there was multiple episodes that Sam Esmail did in the 4th season. This one being an episode where it’s presented as being all one take. Just like the movie “1917”. Another episode they didn’t say a single word, except a sentence in the beginning and at the end. Best episode in my opinion.
You are so right. Rewatched the episode that was like a play with Vega yesterday. Before that the silent episode. Looking forward to rewatching the end. Loved it the first time around.
@@omegamanGXE Unfortunately not all people will realise how fleshed out it is. I'll never stop talking about how they went full geek mode while still having an average Joe follow along just as well, while Breaking Bad on the other hand sidelined the chemistry a lot for the sake of plot.
@@Apollyion I would just start a conversation about everyone’s poop and then make it more awkward and then pretend to have a important call about my wife giving birth so that’s how I escape the building
As someone who works in IT. I always found that the most clueless looking people are more computer literate than others. I once had an old lady that knew how to work the terminal. I also can confirm that people hate when IT looks at their PC even after them putting in a help desk ticket.
@@originalunoriginal4055 Like the command line in windows. It's a way to do stuff like administrating your machine but in text form. Most people use windows and click on stuff, in the terminal you type commands instead.
@originalunoriginal4055 it's basically command prompt but for other operating systems. On other operating systems you use the terminal instead of a gui for a lot of things. It is mainly used for writing commands which can make things easier. Instead of navigating to the Firefox website and installing Firefox I can go apt install Firefox and it installs it all for me. The terminal is a command based way of using your computer instead of a gui based.
“Guy on the computer is listening to the runaround by blues traveler” Guy - “Proceeds to give Elliot the runaround about using his computer lol 😂 “ this show always has those subtle, or sometimes obvious connections 😂
Don't ask me why but this scene was on my head since I watched it. I guess is the awkward conversation with people. And the donut part always makes me laugh 🍩.
having enforcement agents all over your floor and some random confused fella walks in to their meeting room seems pretty normal thing for all the people at that meeting
The old lady probably got hacked once before and learned her lesson the hard way. Now she's hard as nails and won't let that happen again in her lifetime
I think that she might just be the most experienced person there. She might have been one of the pioneers of computing. Computer literate people still get old.
@@deepspacecow2644 The thing is, most viewers expect her to be completely illiterate with computers, especially as she was sniffing something (perfume or glue?) but turns out to be kind of a guru at cybersecurity.
If you haven’t watched this masterpiece please watch you will not be disappointed looking like I might have to watch entire lot again lost count how many times now but never gets old .
grandma hardened stuff her further than starndard configuration including restricted host based firewall wow thats super insane she must be an expert the problem of HAS COME OUT
The "old lady" at the beginning legitimately probably knows it all because she's been around since the PC revolution first happened. Probably has been using them since day 1, and has been able to watch in real time how all of the different security protocols have evolved and have gotten to where they are today. Has also had time to witness all the stories as to why they get implemented...
Don't assume that 20 year olds know more than anyone because they grew up using apps and games. If you grew up using computers before windows and user friendly interfaces many concepts are more intuitive.
It kind of makes sense, old lady has to be smart if she's working in the biggest company, and the guy is just young but still got the job, those are the barriers people face today
Why another season? It ended perfectly, of course we all want more content, but continuing the story will make it near impossible to end it as satisfactory as season 4’s finale.
@@Semicorpus Oh, cool. I didn't recognize the sound. I think that moment of the track is a little sped up. Anyway, thanks a lot! Mr. Robot's soundtrack is awesome.
I like this slight comedy vibe when this old granny just goes all IT expert on Elliot and he's like WTF XD
I never noticed the eye-roll at the camera before.
It was subverting our expectations that an old person wouldn't know anything about the subject and would easily be tricked
@@tylersouza Especially one sniffing white out....
Social engineering still worked heh
Liquid paper is a hell of a drug!
Lmaooo that old lady couldn’t WAIT to snitch on Fred. One of my favorite scenes.
Ikrrr, it's like she was waiting for an IT guy to show so she could snitch on him
5 hour energy, Blues Traveller, Bernie Forever. Fred, don’t ever change.
One of my favourite scenes
haha I've watched this a dozen times and JUST noticed his Bernie sticker
She even locks her workstation with a hotkey when she leaves. Nice detail.
I was just going to point this out lol its like the cherry on top
Presses windows+L instead of Ctrl+Alt+Del and then enter
Even Elliot doesn't lock his workstation lmao. I remember seeing it in one of the episodes and I'm like bro lock your machine what kind of cyber security company is this.
TIL how to lock my pc with a hotkey, nice
BRUH I Was just about to say this!!!!

It is credible
im exactly like this. well minus the hacking skills...
The duality of man.
Possibly one of the most fascinating characters in recent television.
He fits right in as a tech worker being socially autistic. The rest isn't really realistic
“I’m going to have to contest that.”
Lol. True!
Oh yeah. +1 credibility to your argument instantly
@@imsorryyoutube6774 What do you mean?
@@justincruz5720 That it gave credibility to her argument/point of conjecture.
one of my favorite scenes in the show! i loved how they tricked you into thinking the old lady was gonna be easy to get by but she really held her own.
In a way she still is the perfect candidate as even though she didn't let Elliot access her computer but she did led him to the idiot that would.
In the same vein as a sales rep who leaves their computer completely vulnerable but can recognize social engineering in a moment. Both are just as vulnerable in different ways.
Just proves that look means nothing in this setting.
I love the cinematography of this episode particularly how there's little to transition, making it look like one continuous shot. Really makes the episode have "gotta keep moving" or "adrenaline rush" vibe.
Good way to explain it.
“I’m Dave Kennedy”. All while doing social engineering to stall for time. This show was so amazing.
The security engineer?
This episode was really well done, making it seem as if it was entirely done within one take.
yea it was so smooth i love the cinematography of this show
I believe it was.. ?

Malek's eyes are always so intense! Any, and every time he invades another person's space, the intensity is magnified!
he's an alien
Yeah! and it was kind of hot too :D
Sean left that meeting annoyed, but by lunchtime the next day, he knew that he would never deal with stress the same way again.
she's just casually sniffing glue
Isn’t it white out?
@N. D. at a paperless workstation.
Yes it is and people use it for getting high.
thats white out she gettin lit
And plotting how to get Fred in trouble...
nice little touch was her locking up her computer even though she was just going a few steps
Just rewatched the entire series, still just as good. Insane rewatchability.
Season 2 makes so much more sense when you rewatch it
This show is even better on a rewatch!
Every episode of this is just overwhelmingly perfect I just cant get enough of this.
You are so right. Rewatched the episode that was like a play with Vega yesterday. Before that the silent episode. Looking forward to rewatching the end. Loved it the first time around.
I thought Breaking Bad would never be topped but IMO Mr. Robot managed to do it because it was more ambitious
@@omegamanGXE Unfortunately not all people will realise how fleshed out it is. I'll never stop talking about how they went full geek mode while still having an average Joe follow along just as well, while Breaking Bad on the other hand sidelined the chemistry a lot for the sake of plot.
Did you notice how her icons were bigger on her screen too? I love the small details in this show!
Damn! Good catch
4:58 lmfao that guy like leave my donut alone man
Nothing stands between him and his donut😂
Hands down, This is one of the best episodes of the entire series.
This episode and the two that followed were like an unending heart attack lol
it actually was the best target because she knew the office better than anyone
Elliot trying to socialize for straight 40 seconds 4:53 to 5:33 . XDXD
He isn't. He's buying time so that police moves out of his way in the hall.
@@Apollyion I would just start a conversation about everyone’s poop and then make it more awkward and then pretend to have a important call about my wife giving birth so that’s how I escape the building
That was painful to watch
i love how slow he talked after the guy said he was on a deadline XD
Runtime Error is my favourite episode of any TV show ever.
I swear camerawork in this show is on another level.

Not familiar with IT related terminologies.

The little detail of the old lady enjoying white out, she is a perfectionist that hates mistakes
People sniff white out to get high. I have no idea why they showed her doing that
She might be old she's not little though she's quite tall 😂
The old lady probably got hacked once before and learned her lesson the hard way. Now she's hard as nails and won't let that happen again in her lifetime

Its pretty hilarious how his haircut is supposed to be kinda weird, but like every single guy has the same exact cut nowadays 😂
Wait, what? Even when the show premiered that haircut wasn't wack at all.
Nah it's just modern
Zoomer haircut lmao
Yet we never see him go the the barber even ONCE yet maintaina the perfect fade - truly immersion breaking

What a difference a donut makes.

bro
this feels too much like a hitman level
At my work, the person at the outside of the elevator would try to be a hero and prevent the elevator for leaving.
The way Elliots head starts backing up when she 'contests that' makes me ugly laugh everytime lmao
I guess it is time for a fifth round of watching. I already have withdrawal symptoms.
Both this episode and the one after this is some of THE most intense sequence of events I've seen on television!
Is she sniffing glue? 🤣
was she sniffing glue?
Now was this Elliot….or Henry from IT or Dave Kennedy 😂 hilarious
This scene inspires me to use the contest line in my daily life
"Can you do this for me-"
"I'm going to have to contest that."
She was even sniffing glue or whiteout for christ sake
HEY LOOK! Someone out there knows about me after all.
It kind of makes sense, old lady has to be smart if she's working in the biggest company, and the guy is just young but still got the job, those are the barriers people face today
As an IT expert, we all tend to underestimate people time to time..🤣
got fkng dammit, granny is an IT expert
The way he touched the donuts
One of the best one shot scenes
host-based software firewalll and application whitelisting? he spoke to someone in security
Yeah, we boomers can be just as street wise.
This channel is still posting... good.
God this show is so good
The music on this show is so underrated
All I need to be happy again is Season 5 from Mr. Robot :(
Sadly it won't happen, there's no more story to tell about Elliot
Why another season? It ended perfectly, of course we all want more content, but continuing the story will make it near impossible to end it as satisfactory as season 4’s finale.
No, the ending was a masterpiece
Leon spinoff at least
5:09 I don't think it was a pure fast lie just to buy some time, especially after the final episode
Anyone have an issue with the fact that what looks like a general user has sysadmin privileges to make those config changes on her system?
Perfect examples of Social engineering with enough data and playing communication.
4:52 perfect representation of what it's like being socially awkward
Grate speach .....bring tears in my ayes
"I'm going to have to contest that" ☝️🤓
I bet she has local admin rights to make those config changes lol
White out sniffer 😂. I’m gonna have to contest that…
They didn't have to make this scene so unrealistic having a skyscraper with four elevators and the elevator shows up instantly.
never judge a book by its cover quote fits here lol
3:03, can anyone help me find the song here? Thanks!
5:00 hes like "thats my fucking donut"
I like they use Kibana for logs that is real software I use in my job
That was a nice misdirect.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
that's the fastest elevator ever
Yussss
Yusss
Guys...
IDK but for me it's Mr. Robot there instead of "Elliot"...
