Mr. Robot store - S01E09 eps1.8_m1rr0r1ng.qt

S01E09 opens with a flashback to 1994 while Elliot (Rami Malek) and his Dad/Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) are at their "Mr. Robot" store. Lots of old tech to see here and a brief morality play involving a customer who accuses Elliot of stealing from his wallet.

"Timecop or Stargate?" says Mr. Robot but Elliot chooses Pulp Fiction.

After they leave the store the camera pulls back to show the store front and we flash forward to see the store become empty and available for lease, then become a drycleaners, a florist, a tattoo parlour, and finally a Bank of E.

While the Mr. Robot store and other tenants are fictitious the filming location was at a real store located at 18 Main St Yonkers, NY 10701.




Yonkers Station, the filming location of a scene later in this episode, is only a 5 minute walk from the Mr. Robot store.

"I thought that was you" - S01E09 eps1.8_m1rr0r1ng.qt

Elliot (Rami Malek) and Mr Robot (Christian Slater) are standing on a station platform waiting for a train to take them to the Alderson family home. A man in a black suit appears to look toward them and says "I thought that was you". The man in black walks forward and embraces a woman on the platform.

If you look carefully there is an F-Society sign on the pillar to the left of the man in black as he embraces the woman, and in the distance behind them there is a large smokestack.

The station sign on the platform says "Port Jervis" but is it really?

This scene was filmed on the Southbound platform of Yonkers Station on the MTA Hudson line overlooking The Palisades (source: rantsthoughtsmerde).



The large smokestack in the background of the shot is at the North Yonkers Pump Station 19 Alexander St Yonkers, NY 10701.

"He's not here" - S01E09 eps1.8_m1rr0r1ng.qt

Darlene (Carly Chaikin) and Angela (Portia Doubleday) are trying to find Elliot.

Darlene: "You're the one that found him last time he was like this. I really need your help"

Angela: "Ok. Where are you?"

In the next scene Darlene and Angela are standing above a giant model of New York city.

Angela: "He's not here."

This scene was filmed at the Panorama of the City of New York exhibit at the Queens Museum New York City Building, Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368.

Ollie (Ben Rappaport) has told Elliot (Rami Malek) to take some corrupted drives to "Blank's Disk" on 36th Street. Elliot soon realises that the visit to "Blank's Disk Data Recovery Service" is a setup for a meeting with the the White Rose at the Dark Army.
