Their history is a shared one that stretches back years.
Tyrell Wellick, still a young up-and-comer at that point, expresses his hesitancy about the deal as well.
Its not the only time Price will do that this episode.

So why does Eps3.8_stage3.torrent flash back?
Why take us to this moment?
That flashback also acts as a way of summarizing just how far everyone has come.
Or rather, how far everyone has fallen.
Wellick, enthusiastic and ambitious in that opening scene, is nothing but an empty shell now.
Hes lost everything, and for what?
For some vague sense of revolution?
Robotisnt telling you who to feel bad for, but rather poking at the various motivations of each character.
Angela did what she did because shes never recovered after losing her mom.
Tyrell did what he did because he wanted some semblance of power.
They each have nothing.
They can only drift.
Angela in particular is a mess.
She mutters to herself that Whiterose will surely protect her, that shell be picking her up soon.
Angela, on the other hand, cant accept that reality.
She still thinks theres some sort of noble end that will justify the horrific means.
Its her coping mechanism, and it sends her out into the streets.
Then, two men in suits pick her up in a van.
Angela wants to believe this is the Dark Army sent to protect her.
We should be worried.
Angela should be worried.
(Recap continues on next page)
Most of Eps3.8_stage3.torrent fluctuates between two different times.
Then theres the night before, when Mr. Splitting the episode up in this way offers some interesting parallels.
We watch as both Elliot and Mr.
Robot look for different ways to expose the Dark Army and get back at them.
The effect is that it underlines just how much Elliot and Mr.
Robot rely on one another.
Robot that means approaching Tyrell and making sure he understands just what has happened.
Its no easy sell.
When he first shows up at the apartment, Tyrell is hostile, thinking that Elliot/Mr.
Robot is the one whos screwed him over.
He believes everything thats happened is because of Elliots sabotaging of the plan, so he attacks him.
He tells him that E Corp is bringing him back as CTO, but that its simply a title.
Obedience will be your role at my company, says Price.
He throws back shot after shot of booze while Mr.
Robot tries to formulate a plan and find some sort of vulnerability within the Dark Army.
Thats when Tyrell opens up and plays the one card that he still has.
Robot about Santiago and how hes a Dark Army operative working within the FBI.
Its a bombshell, and Mr. Thats how Elliots day begins, but it ends in a much more interesting way.
He says its time for Stage 3, and thats enough to get Irvings attention.
So, he sets the meet.
Leon shows up at Elliots apartment and brings him out in the middle of the night.
Whiterose isnt there though.
Instead, its her right-hand man, Grant, and two masked Dark Army operatives.
The man hears Elliot out, but he has no interest in working with him.
Again, Elliot is a pawn and his time as a useful piece is up.
Once Dom is asleep, Darlene goes for her safe.
She opens it up and snags her FBI badge.
If only things were that easy though.
Whether she suspected something all along or not, Dom catches Darlene in the moment.
She brings her into the FBI headquarters for questioning, assuming shes doing the right thing.
Of course, shes playing right into the Dark Armys hands.
In essence, its an episode that begins to question whos in control here.
The way BD Wong shifts Whiterose from angry to composed is haunting.
But is Whiterose really in control?
Is her ironclad grip on everything starting to weaken?
Robot biding their time, is this truly the breakthrough Elliot thinks it is?
Grant and Whiterose share a kiss.
They dont seem worried.
Robothas provided more answers than any other.
Next week well see if they roll out just a few more.
