S01E04 Ayaz

## Ayaz

**Ayaz** is the fourth episode of first series of Netflix's TV show Into the Night.

## Plot

In a flashback, Ayaz brutally beats a British tourist threatening to sue him over the violent conduct of one of his prostitutes. Upon landing in Alaska, the group holds an impromptu trial of Ayaz, which Terenzio defended him. Terenzio explains to the group, they may need him due to his violent experiences as a professional criminal, considering him to be the muscle of the group. Ayaz, admits that he is not proud of the things he has done but is a "survivor". The group proceeds to Brussels after Terenzio reveals the rumoured existence of a NATO shelter. Horst suggests that the radiation from the sun has rendered fresh food nutritionally worthless. Mathieu confesses to Sylvie an affair with the flight attendant left behind in Brussels. Mathieu appears to suffer a breakdown and is removed from the cockpit to rest. A cryptic transmission from a Russian cosmonaut is heard over the radio. Ines discovers that the Hawaii safe haven was never completed and is not a viable option for survival. Mathieu collapses in the toilet and Laura concludes his wound has gone septic, expressing an urgent need to amputate the infected tissue. Sylvie lands the plane in Brussels with only the instruction of a YouTube video. Horst hypothesises that the radiation has also rendered jet fuel, refueled at Scotland, largely unusable.

Insufficient maintenance log **BE Airways** requires more information. Can you provide them?.

## Trivia

* The plane has landed at Casco Cove Coast Guard Station (ATU) between episodes
* Ayaz is put under suspicion in front of all passengers. He mostly admits to his crimes, although he is not very ashamed of them.
* The next destination is Brussels, since it is the best change for a lasting repair of the broken window, but mainly because Terenzio believes that there is a NATO shelter there that they might attempt to reach. Some passengers have a hard time with the idea.
* Horst believes that the ionized radiation has been degrading food for much the same reasons why it proves fatal to people.
* Sylvie has taken more of a leadership role, without necessarily realizing it.
* Mathieu is mentally unbalanced, apparently due to blood intoxication due to sepsis from his bullet wound at the hand (from the first episode).
* Zara is becoming more sympathetic and trusting towards Ayaz.
* Another radio communication is achieved. This one is in part machines talking to each other, but also someone speaking Russian with what Zara believes to be an Ukranian accent. The group eventually decides that this must be a cosmonaut at the ISS (Internationa Space Station). It is also the first mention of Stara 17.
* Ines finds an article about the Mars Sphere in Hawaii and concludes that is has never been completed. She tells Sylvie and Jakub, who give up on heading for Hawaii.
* Sylvie and Jakub manage to land the plane back in Brussels.
* The fuel seems to have been degraded by the ionization from the sun, much like the food has been.
* Now that they are landed, there are several simultaneous tasks to be executed during a time window of about two and half hours: giving medical care to Mathieu; finding specific info on the shelter at NATO HQ; securing fuel for the plane to attemp to take off again; and scrounging food for everyone and medicine for Dominik.
