"eps2.9_pyth0n-pt1.p7z" is the eleventh episode of the second season of the American drama thriller television series Mr. Robot. It is the 21st overall episode of the series and was written and directed by series creator Sam Esmail. It originally aired on USA Network on September 14, 2016.
The series follows Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer and hacker with social anxiety disorder, who is recruited by an insurrectionary anarchist known as "Mr. Robot" to join a group of hacktivists called "fsociety". In the episode, Elliot tries to find more about Mr. Robot's methods, while Angela is taken to a house for questioning.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.686 million household viewers and gained a 0.3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, praising the episode's ambition and style, although some criticized the episode's lack of answers and pacing.
In the aftermath of the shootout, Dominique (Grace Gummer) is informed by Santiago (Omar Metwally) that she will be taken off the case. She wants to declare the attack as an act of war by the Dark Army, but finds that the government will not upset China after they just gave the U.S. a $2 trillion loan. Price (Michael Cristofer) uses the bailout money to strengthen Ecoin, E Corp’s digital currency, forcing the government to support him to keep pace with China and rebuild the banking sector.
Angela (Portia Doubleday) is taken to a house by the two figures. There, she is questioned by an apparently tortured young girl on many strange scenarios, who tells her that she (the girl) will be punished if Angela refuses to answer. After the interview is over, the girl walks out of the room. Whiterose (BD Wong) appears, revealed to be Angela's captor. Whiterose reveals that the girl is actually wearing make-up, and that it was a test for Angela, as she should have died on the 5/9 hack. Whiterose also reveals that they have plans for her and Elliot (Rami Malek), telling her that the deaths of her mother and Elliot's father were necessary. After leaving, Angela informs Antara (Sakina Jaffrey) that she won't pursue any action and is no longer her client.
Elliot decides to use a lucid dreaming technique, allowing him to see Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) decode a message. He discovers a phone number, which leads him to an address where a taxi awaits him. After he enters, he is joined by Tyrell (Martin Wallström), who is alive and well. When Elliot questions the driver, they are kicked out of the taxi. Seeing that Elliot can't recall the events, Tyrell tells him that the Dark Army's Stage 2 is ready and that Elliot will be pleased with the results.
