11 WTF Moments From Mr. Robot Season One

6. Beating Up A Homeless Man

USA Network While it's fairly clear from the start that Tyrell is a dangerous individual, cold of heart but brilliant of mind, the true extent of his psychotic nature isn't revealed until the third episode. Raging from the confirmation that he isn't being promoted to the position of CTO, Tyrell instructs his driver to lead him to a subway where a homeless man is rummaging around. Tyrell gives him a wad of cash, which momentarily seems bizarrely generous. Has the viewer got him all wrong? Is he charitable? Does he use a "homeless network" for information like Sherlock Holmes? Nothing of the sort. Slowly pulling on clear plastic gloves, Tyrell smashes his fist into the homeless man's face. He proceeds to beat him senseless, kicking his twitching body as it writhes on the floor. He then walks away, leaving the money behind. Now it's about as clear as is possible that Tyrell is a sick man who pays to take his frustrations out on the homeless.
