Failing that, he finds an emotionally broken Darlene in his apartment, and they go to a hacker hangout, planning to stop Stage 2 of the 5/9 hack. They succeed, but are caught by the Dark Army. They meet Irving, a car salesman who works as a fixer for The Dark Army. Elliot refuses to restart Stage 2. When Darlene leaves him alone, he begins reflecting on his actions and its consequences on the world. Meeting with Angela, Elliot requests a job with E Corp to undo the hack.
