#The black mirror iii series#
Whilst series one and two of Black Mirror were shown on Channel 4 in the UK, in September 2015 Netflix commissioned the series for 12 episodes (split into two series of six episodes). He receives a distraught call from his mother ( Camilla Power), as Lindsay saw the video of him masturbating to child pornography. Having won the fight, an injured Kenny staggers from the woodland. The other blackmail victims' information has also been released. Hector returns home, but finds the hacker has sent his wife ( Leanne Best) evidence of his infidelity. Kenny attempts to shoot himself, but finds the gun is empty. When Kenny protests that he merely looked at pictures, the man asks how young the subjects were. There he meets another blackmail victim ( Paul Bazely), who explains they are to fight to the death whilst being filmed through a camera-equipped drone the money goes to the winner. Hector is instructed to destroy the car, while Kenny carries the money to a drop-off point in a nearby wood. Though Kenny urinates out of fear, he manages to steal a bag of cash and flee the scene with Hector. Hector insists on being the driver, leaving Kenny to perform the robbery. They are told to use a gun concealed in the cake to rob a bank. Hector drives recklessly to get her there before continuing to their destination. At a stop for petrol they meet Karen ( Natasha Little), a friend of Hector's wife, who asks for a lift home. Kenny and Hector are instructed to drive to a set of coordinates. Hector receives blackmail messages of his own he was about to commit adultery with a prostitute, and fears he will lose custody of his children if his wife finds out. Kenny is instructed to deliver the cake to a hotel room, where he finds Hector ( Jerome Flynn). He is met by a man ( Ivanno Jeremiah) acting on instructions from the hacker, who gives Kenny a box with a cake inside. The next day at work, Kenny receives a text summoning him to a location 15 miles (24 kilometres) away in 45 minutes he feigns illness to his boss ( Hannah Steele) and frantically cycles to the coordinates. The hacker emails Kenny, threatening to send the video to his contacts unless he follows a series of instructions. Kenny downloads an anti-malware trojan which allows an unseen hacker to record him masturbating through his laptop's camera. Kenny ( Alex Lawther) returns home from his restaurant job to find that his younger sister Lindsay (Maya Gerber) has unintentionally infected his laptop with malware. It was ranked poorly in critics' lists of Black Mirror instalments by quality. Critics praised Lawther and Flynn's acting, but were polarised as to whether the episode's tone was effective, whether the plot twist was good and whether the episode had interesting themes.
