Mr. Robot: 21 WTF Moments That Left Fans Stunned

5. Elliot Is Nearly Raped

While Mr. Robot fans were originally under the illusion that Elliot was living at his mother's house, but was actually in prison, the show did offer a few hints about his actual whereabouts. One of the most obvious nods to where Elliot actually was, happened after he shutdown the Dark Web-esque website owned by prison warden, Ray Heyworth.

While walking away from the basketball that he spends most of his time at, he's attacked by a group of white supremacists. Pinning him up against a steel fence, the group reveal that they plan on raping him for messing with Heyworth's website.

However, just before anything could happen, Leon, played by the effortlessly cool Joey Badass, swoops in with a razor blade and slits all five men's throats, leaving a visibly shaken Elliot stunned. Leon even slammed the knife in between the butt cheeks of a writhing gang member, in a particularly violent scene that will stick with Mr. Robot fans forever.

For a show that is full of gritty and raw moments, this particular threat and eventual act of violence, definitely stands out as some of the most brutal on the show.
