Mr Robot season 2
Mr Robot, Elliot, Darlene and Angela in USA Network's series, Mr Robot USA Network

Elliot Alderson is back to doing what he knows best, hacking! In episode 4 of Mr Robot season 2, the hacker made several discoveries about his alter ego, Mr Robot, and also swung into action to help his sister Darlene.

Wednesday's (27 July) episode featured Elliot challenging Mr Robot to a game of chess, with the winner allowed to take over the hacker's mind. However, Elliot soon realises, after many stalemated games, that they can't beat each other.

Elliot says, "I cannot beat you, and you can't beat me. We could play again, we will always be in this impasse and you knew all along."

Mr Robot replies, "It was the only way to show you that fighting me is a waste of time... When will you finally realise that I am here for a reason."
