Back at the Seed Vault, meanwhile, Ayaz, faced with everyone’s imminent demise, decides that someone must be held accountable for what has happened, and takes matters into his own hands, but he’s interrupted by the arrival of one of the submarine’s occupants, who claims to be a Turkish researcher just as Ayaz seems to open fire on him.The hits keep on coming for Bellator MMA. The bunker group is barely able to escape in time in a chopper loaded with fuel, but they can only make it with a heroic self-sacrifice from Rik, who can finally declare that he isn’t afraid as he takes the Russian fuel tanker and drives it straight into the group’s pursuers, eradicating most of the bunker’s military leadership in the meantime. In a flurry of scenes, “Asil” doesn’t bring everything to a conclusion, but makes a solid case for a continuation. The runway has been blocked off, so rescue from the mysterious third party who bombed both bunkers is impossible, and if they clear the bunker and nobody comes, they’ll just starve or freeze to death anyway. There are no tools nearby to fix the damage, the extent of which is still unknown, and there wouldn’t be enough time to look for any anyway. Meanwhile, at the Seed Vault, Gia is still locked in the destroyed cockpit, and things are not looking good for anyone. But it’s Horst who is able to MacGyver a blowtorch to help them cut through into the ductwork and make an escape, which involves cutting the power and sneaking past a couple of guards in the darkness, complete with first-person handheld camerawork to sell the tension, and stealing the Russian helicopter to make their escape. After the Russians storm the bunker in retaliation for their planes being destroyed, the gang, after an escape attempt, are captured and locked up with a badly injured Rik, who gave their Norway plan away out of the terror he has been burdened with his entire life.
Who’s aboard? What do they want? I can’t say this finale necessarily answers those questions, but the fact that it asks them keeps it moving along nicely, even though there’s plenty else to be getting on with in the meantime.Īnyway, it’s Horst who gets the flashback at the top of the episode, and he proves himself useful throughout. Of course, both of these strands are connected in more ways than one, with brief glimpses of a submarine making for something of a ticking-clock device. As much of the season has been, “Asil” is largely divided into two distinct plot strands - what’s going on in the bunker, and what’s happening aboard the plane on the Seed Vault runway.
