Hey guys, Pete here. We got a surprise second teaser or trailer for Mr. Robot
season 4 today. ET online posted an exclusive article and a trailer first
then the Mr. Robot social media accounts and official YouTube uploaded a longer
version which later they took down and then they replaced it with a slightly
different longer version. so that had a lot of us wondering if they were doing
something on purpose but the final version seems to have
everything the earlier version had with some additional shots so this will be a
scene-by-scene breakdown of what I expect to be the final product. the new
season 4 trailer opens with the shot of Elliot's face in the background we see
what looks like the same hallway from the back to work trailer that caused a
lot of us to question if it was someone different dressed up in the blue jeans
wearing Elliot's hoodi.e this trailer muddies that water a little bit more
because in this shot we see that Elliot himself is in a hallway that looks
similar to the blue jeans shot. we see this again at the end of the trailer so
I'll come back to this. the narration picks up and we hear Elliot say, "is she
listening? of course she is. she always is." while he's saying that we get a shot of
someone turning up what looks like a volume knob and see some screens of
audio software the "she" that Elliot is talking about his Whiterose and we get
a shot of her at her Island residence. in the first trailer we only saw her
dressed as Minister Zhang and here she's wearing a dress.
it's a weird shot though because she doesn't have a wig on and there's this
strange glitch cut kind of thing as her expression changes I'm not sure what's
going on with that because it looks like it's clearly intentional like it's
supposed to look like it's glitched a little bit. wig on or not Whiterose
looks somewhat pleased here which is a contrast from the first trailer. after
that we get a cool looking overhead shot that doesn't give much away. there's
two characters sitting on that bench you can see a little bit better in the
first trailer that came out because the words were different but you can't
really make out who it is. that cuts to a body being loaded into a coroner's van
that looks like it might be in a wooded area. there's another van or a different
vehicle parked in front of this one and as we move to the next shot of Dom it
feels like these two shots are connected. it isn't clear if they're happening at
same time but the background does make it look like the same general location.
we did see a coroner's van in New York City in the first trailer but neither
one of these seems to be that same van. Dom is looking at a burned-out van and
of course we see Elliot and Mr. Robot burning a van later in the trailer. this
is most definitely the fire we saw them watching in the first trailer and we get
a better idea of how all this stuff outside the city is connected. the
voiceover continues, "see what's going on out there?
what happened? what's been happening?" we get confirmation that this is Phillip
Price approaching the Evil Corp building in street clothes like I
mentioned in the first video. I mentioned he was the most likely candidate but
that it seemed odd for him to be out front dressed down if he was still the
CEO. seeing these close-ups of him does make you wonder if he's been removed
from that role there's a quick shot of someone walking through a server room or
a server farm with a flashlight and then we see the shot of Elliot and Mr. Robot
working in the Allsafe building again. the voiceover continues, "we let this go,
Whiterose will destroy the world." there's a shot of Elliot running down
the street and it looks like he's being chased by the police here. there's a
banner up above that says scores and that means this is probably connected to
this shot we see later where he's exhaling against the wall on the street.
this is followed by a shot of a street light turning red on a quiet road
somewhere outside the city and we definitely noticed there's a traffic
camera above it. there's another shot of the bloody phone which we've already seen.
we hear Elliot say, "by next week we'll be dead!" as we watch Whiterose getting
ready in the mirror and then we cut to Elliot standing on a crowded platform as
the subway arrives. in the shot Mr. Robot standing right behind him. there's a
quick shot of someone turning up the volume on a keyboard which looks by the color
anyway to be connected to that first scene where we saw them turning the knob
and then a shot of Elliot running down a hallway that looks industrial in that it
has no windows and there are exposed pipes running along the ceiling. that
cuts to an interior shot of Grand Central Terminal. we hear, "we don't have a
lot of time." we see that the clock shows the time as being just before 12:00. we
see mr. robot there with an earbud in his ear and since it
looks dark outside I'm guessing something is supposed to happen at
midnight. there's a clock ticking in the background and then we hear Whiterose's
watch beep. we see her touch the watch to turn off the notification and get a
close-up of her face as she exhales. Elliot's voiceover continues as he says,
"we can take them down together." this seems like the most interesting bit of
dialogue in that it sounds like he's up against someone else in addition to
Whiterose. there's a shot of Elliot Tyrell and Mr. Robot all together on the
country road at night which is most likely connected to the burning of the
van. we see an elevator arrive at the third floor and then see that Darlene's
inside wearing that black wig. she looks up at the security camera and then we
see another shot of her inside a room with a Christmas tree taking the wig off.
after that we watch Whiterose come down a staircase in what looks like a
palatial home. there are armed soldiers following her and there appear to be
dead soldiers everywhere. the fallen soldier she's passing looks like a
westerner but you can't see the faces of the ones that are following her. as
she walks we hear Elliot angrily say, "she's going to pay for what she's done!"
and there's a shot of him pounding his hands against a window as he continues,
"she can't hide from what's coming for her!" as he's saying that we see an
overhead shot of Price sitting at a table in the museum we see what look
like dark army foot soldiers approaching the table while a figure that could be
Zhang is looking on. what stands out about this shot is that there is what looks
like a phone and tablet on the table along with two glasses of champagne so
Pryce was having a discussion with someone who got up and left. it could be
that it was the man standing with his coat on holding a hat, and that could be
Minister Zhang. I don't think we could say either one of those things is definitely
true, but I do think we can say that it looks like the other four guys are
rolling up on Price for sure. after that we catch a glimpse of Elliot being taken
somewhere by a bunch of armed men wearing dark army masks which could
certainly be connected to the scene that's coming up with Whiterose. before
that though we see him lighting the lighter and burning the van and
another shot of him running down the stairs with Darlene and the wig
following him like we saw in the back to work trailer. we don't really get
any more of an idea of what's happening here but we may be able to connect this
scene to others where she's wearing the same wig. a quick shot of Eliot
standing on the subway platform where he looks like he's talking to his younger
self. it's not the same actor because obviously that actor grew up and it
looked like in the preseason stuff that they were casting another character to
play a young Elliot and this is super interesting because at some point
Elliot needs to sort out the questions that he has and that we have about his
childhood. so hopefully him standing here talking to himself is related to that
process of us figuring out what's going on. then we get another recycled looking
shot of Angela from season three. the first trailer left a lot of fans
thinking that maybe the show is going to kill her off and maybe like right at the
beginning. I haven't really bought into that idea yet. I tend to think they could
just as easily be holding back scenes that she's in because they might be too
revealing about where the story is headed. either way though we don't get a
new shot of her. a little later we see a close-up of what looks like her eye but
that isn't exactly a proof of life. besides that shot of the eye we get a
couple more of Elliot running before we cut to him and Whiterose in a room
together. there's a poster on the wall that says when a door closes a window
opens which feels like not only a callback to Elliot's fall, but also to
Angela's meeting with Whiterose at the end of season two where we saw her
standing in front of a poster and not exactly the same but it has that feeling
to me. Whiterose says, "Mr. Alderson, I've been looking for you." and I suppose the
fact that these two will be face to face in a room in season 4 is the big reveal
of this trailer. we get one more shot of Elliot approaching a door in a hallway
which is similar to the blue jeans shot and the first trailer and the one I said
I would come back to. the wood accents on the sides of the hallways look the same
in both scenes but the doors are clearly different in this trailer. it definitely
looks like Elliot approaching the door while most of us agreed that the
character wearing the blue jeans in the last trailer didn't look like him and at
least as far as I'm concerned this makes it clear. are there two different
hallways with two different doors in the same building with two different people
approaching them? I can't say for sure but that's the way I'm leaning.
I have no idea why it's important, this door here stands out to me because it
doesn't match the architecture of the building I mean it looks like a door
from somebody's house, so make of that what you will. things we didn't see in
this trailer were Leon, Irving, Vera, or the new character that Jake Busey is
reportedly playing. also as mentioned no real new images of Angela. beyond that we
got some answers to questions that the first trailer posed and a whole lot of
new things to think about. I was guessing there would be a second trailer closer
to the release date now that we have this one I don't actually know what to
expect. I'm hoping there's gonna be more but we're gonna have to wait and see. the
highlights here for me are seeing Elliot, Tyrell, and Mr. Robot all together in one
shot even if I don't know what they're doing out there in the woods. it looks
like they're all working together which is awesome because that seems pretty
necessary at this point in the game. the Whiterose scenes are all pretty crazy
when you think about it. it feels like this trailer even more than the last one
is giving scenes throughout the season rather than just in the beginning of it.
showing us that Elliot and Whiterose will definitely be meeting face to face
makes me wonder how she'll try to manipulate the situation. we saw her turn
Angela to her side by making her think she could change the past and get Dom on
her side through threatening her family, but as fans we can't actually entertain
the idea that Elliot could be persuaded to join her at this point. I feel certain
that she will present Elliot with some information that's gonna make him
question his position, possibly question his reality, something about his past or
something about his father, but how that conversation is going to play into the
ending isn't very clear. as in does it happen early in the season to set the
table or is this something that happens right at the endgame. more burning
questions I have are is Price out as CEO of Ecorp?
if he is would that mean he is more dangerous and useful to Fsociety?
what's going on with all the dead soldiers in that staircase shot of Whiterose?
what's Elliot burning in the van? is that scene connected to the
coroner's van that we see outside the city?
why does Eliot say that in a week they could all be dead and what does that
mean when he says that we can take them down together? there's lots to think
about so let me know in the comments what you think please like this video if
you enjoyed it and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already in the
age of streaming it seems like pre-season interests from casual fans is
at an all-time low but I'm still gonna be covering everything related to season
four. I've had so much fun following this show and picking it apart between
episodes since I started back in season 2 I'm gonna basically continue making
them whether anybody watches these videos or not I can't wait to see what
happens and how they wrap this story up so thanks for watching I'll talk to you
soon
