Rami Malek Cooks Dinner for His Captives in a Clip From 'Buster's Mal Heart' (Exclusive)

At the start of Buster’s Mal Heart, Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) is Jonah, a clean-cut family man who toils his days (and nights) away as a corporate stooge. So how does he become Buster, the bearded mountain man who survives the winter by breaking in to rural vacation homes he believes empty?
