Скачать или смотреть The Team Meets Their Enemies Face-to-Face in 'Murderbot' Episode 9

Somehow, it's already time for Murderbot's penultimate episode (say it isn't so!). Suitably, "All Systems Red," written by Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz with Roseanne Liang in the director's chair, and named after the opening novella of Murderbot creator Martha Wells' series, is this delightful sci-fi show's most action-packed and heartfelt installment to date. And there's still one episode to go! Without further ado, grab your popcorn plus some Kleenex for your tears.

As the Preservation Alliance's hopper flies toward the rendezvous spot their newly revealed enemies, the GrayCris mining group, transmitted last week, three of the six humans — Bharadwaj (Tamara Podemski), Arada (Tattiawna Jones), and Ratthi (Akshay Khanna) are on watch duty at the habitat — grapple with the likelihood of their imminent deaths. Pin-Lee (Sabrina Wu) takes the "ignore it" approach, Gurathin's (David Dastmalchian) grateful he made it this far, and the wise but ever-hopeful Mensah (Noma Dumezweni) asks Murderbot's (Alexander Skarsgård) analytical opinion about their survival chances. Everyone knows this scenario is the most obvious trap to ever trap, but Murderbot still tries to soften the blow before Mensah and Gurathin metaphorically twist its arm; its assessment puts their statistics at "extremely low." Gurathin tries to poke Murderbot over whether it's functioning properly, to which Murderbot lands an ice-cold delivery of "I noticed you have an issue with eye contact" — one of Gurathin's statements from their interrogation scene in Episode 2.Not only did Murderbot try to lie about their survival chances to avoid giving these "hot messes" low morale, its voiceover reveals it also fibbed about its plan. Viewers don't learn every specific, either, but the basic steps require Pin-Lee to launch a drone that Gurathin can turn into a remote transponder capable of hacking GrayCris' HubSystem. From there, Gurathin will activate GrayCris' distress beacon. Within a week or two, the Company's rescue ship should arrive. But before Gurathin can work his augmented human magic, Murderbot has to retrieve the access codes to GrayCris' HubSystem — and that will require some fancy mental footwork of its own.
