I was running out of time.
This was the fastest way to convince you, Elliot tells a devastated Olivia through a cracked voice.
The sad thing is that its true.
Elliot and Darlene needed Olivias boss login credentials to transfer the Cyprus National Bank money.
The Deus Group meeting has been set for that evening.
The mostly unspoken irony is that Elliot has crossed that line before many times, just not so directly.
The Five/Nine hack, fsocietys revolutionary terrorism, and the Stage 2 bombings alone ruined the lives of many.
Elliots influence has led to the deaths of many of his associates and partners.
If she tested positive on a drug test, she would lose custody of her son.
Elliots confrontation with Olivia works almost entirely because of Rami Malek and Dominik Garcias performances.
This makes Elliots betrayal all the more upsetting.
Malek, projecting self-loathing and embarrassment, struggles to get through his blackmail instruction without choking up.
Its messy and cruel, more so because Olivia has no compunction twisting the knife in Elliots stomach.
She has no problem telling him what kind of person he really is.
Dom has also been put in a similar position as Elliot when she catches up with Darlene.
Darlene begs for her life, convincing her that the bond they shared together wasnt meaningless.
At some point, it felt like padding until Krista finally gave up Elliot and told Vera about Mr.
Yet, those all feel like minor missteps wheneverMr.
Robotreturns to Elliot, whos forced to face his own monstrosity even if he defers the subsequent emotions.
The ends justify the means.
Hes the good guy.
Why else include all that razor blade talk back in Forbidden?
She clearly didnt know that the bank she worked for funded such an atrocity.
Yet, she doesnt let Elliot off the hook.
Theres too much at stake and not enough time.
Lines inevitably have to be crossed for the plan to succeed.
Except he doesnt know that its already gone off the rails.
Darlene and Dom are worm food for the Dark Army.
And Krista sold out Elliot under the same pressure he put over Olivia.
After all, Vera was running out of time.
It was the fastest way to convince him.
When Leon enters Tods Coffee, he asks, Where do I know this place from?
Apparently someone named Tod now owns the stores.
Oh, Leon is full-time freelance now.
His only loyalty is to the almighty paper.
Sounds like a lot of people these days.
