Departure (2019) s02e03 Episode Script

Previously on "Departure"
You asked the train operator
to increase the speed.
Pick it up K,
I got the 278 coming your way.
Brakes aren't responding.
So what, we're trying
to pin this on me now?
- Max gave it to me.
- We have discovered
somebody close to you died
in the train crash last night.
Phillip Hogan.
Phillip Hogan was instrumental
in the design of the Apollo.
Who's running loose in Michigan?
A Matelona cartel
associate named Max O'Neill.
The Mexican cartel?
Max O'Neill, he is armed
I turned to my brother-in-law for help.
Carlos Ortega.
I told Carlos I'd launder
money for six months.
But there's no leaving the cartel.
BP is 148 over 79 and falling.
You need to stay here, we gotta
get him into surgery right now!
Kendra! Kendra!
Oh my God. You're bleeding!
What happened? Are you
Are you hurt? Do you need
Lucas, uh, Lucas. You need
to go back to your room.
- Hey, hey, it's OK.
- Is he going to die?
No! No, no. Lucas, please.
Everything will be fine.
Go back to your room.
Come with me. Come with me. It's OK.
What were you thinking?
Why would you go meet up with
someone who hijacked your car?
Why would you Why would you
do that? That's insane!
- My phone
- I got it.
- It's Ellen, I gotta go.
- I'm sorry!
You're gonna be OK, just slow down.
Thanks.
- Ellen.
- Kendra. I need you at HQ.
Diana Bright's here.
The public was in danger.
I have an obligation to protect them.
And now my witness
is fighting for his life.
That woman had every right
to defend herself.
I'm a big supporter
of the second amendment.
Bollocks!
Don't hide behind your constitution.
You did it for votes.
Don't you preach at me,
you're not even American.
If Max dies, his blood is on your hands.
You mess with me, I mess back.
Now, that's kind of
the Bright family motto.
And I'm terrified.
Hello, Sheriff.
She's a tough cookie.
Half the state used to work for
her family in their autoparts factories,
driving their trucks.
Basically owned the state.
Hmmhmm. She thinks she still does.
Yeah. Well, at least
we agree on something.
O'Neill's outta surgery.
He's doing well.
So was it worth it?
Did he at least tell you anything?
Yeah.
He said that man was murdered
right after the train crash.
What?
Yeah, he thinks that that man
may have been mistaken for him.
Wow! Then if he's right,
the cartel crashed the train.
Yeah and then sent someone to
make sure that Max didn't survive.
At least he's OK.
Welcome back!
- Gave us a bit of a fright.
- Was not the plan, believe me.
Ugh.
I'd let the anaesthetic wear out
before you try that.
You're a lucky man.
Pretty sure you're
the only one who thinks so.
The bullet missed your vital organs.
Get some sleep.
Uh, what are you doing up?
Can I see him?
I'm I'm pretty sure
he's not a mole for the cartel.
Get in here little man.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
I know it's hard to lose someone
who loves you so much.
But you're brave, Lucas.
I've seen that.
Hey. You still have that sweet ride?
Can I see?
Mmm.
Did you tell anyone what we saw?
No? Now.
Can you keep another secret?
Diana Bright continues to be critical
of the Federal Transportation
Safety Authority's
ongoing investigation.
I know high-speed trains
are a European thing
but you're telling me
there wasn't a single American
at the FTSA who coulda
headed up this investigation?
If there existed any competent
leadership at that agency,
maybe we'd have answers by now.
Breaking news. We are
learning that Max O'Neill,
the target of the FBI man-hunt,
died overnight
undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound.
What's happened?
What's happened is this coffee is crap
and I've learned to travel
with my own espresso machine.
Good morning by the way.
Morning.
You have got guts,
I'll give you that.
Guts?
You still trust your guts
after that whole Howard Lawson thing?
How did you know about that?
You tell me you put your boss in jail
and you think
I'm not gonna look into it?
Fair enough.
Listen, I put out
a news report this morning
saying that O'Neill died in the OR
and I wanted to tell you personally.
Didn't want you having a heart attack.
Thank you. So, uh,
I'm in the loop now, am I?
Well, that is better
than being a loose cannon.
I have something else
I wanna share with you.
This is a DEA wiretap.
It was recorded yesterday,
hours before Max and the marshal
boarded the train.
How can we be sure he's on the train?
Saint Emilio wouldn't lie.
I want him dead, any means necessary.
Carlos Ortega.
Yes, to the Matelona member
we found out in the crash.
Uh, who's Emilio?
Whoever told Carlos Ortega that
Max was gonna be on the Apollo.
Who else other than the FBI knew, Ellen?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Whoever it is
is probably still out there
still telling the cartel
whatever they know.
Maybe we should just ask Max.
He may know who this Emilio is.
No. I don't know what
he'd do with the information
and I don't want
Emilio's blood on my hands.
I know there's been
more than a few distractions
but I wanted everyone
to remember our sole focus here.
Discovering why the Apollo crashed.
OK, right, where are we at?
Ah, so far we've determined
that the brakes were working
before the emergency stop
but failed shortly after.
Right, but the brakes
were armed properly
and the lines were clear
so what went wrong?
We've been working on getting
the software reports from URSA.
They say it's proprietary so
Yeah, our lawyers
are talking to their lawyers.
- And three years later
- Let's hope not.
What about the emergency brake itself.
Do we know who activated it?
I went through ALL of
the footage and no one pulled
an emergency brake handle
throughout the whole train.
OK, so maybe there was a malfunction?
Uh, why don't we get all the schematics
for the emergency brake system
and I wanna know how it works.
Where are we on casualties?
Um, two patients in Battle Creek
passed away last night making 62 dead.
Is everyone else accounted for?
Nearly there. Three names
still listed as missing.
Couple of survivors may have walked away
before the FBI put up the perimeter.
Let's see if we can track them down.
- Parker.
- Sorry, excuse me. Yeah?
- Kendra, you need to see this.
- You found the murder victim?
- And then some.
- OK.
Alright guys, thanks!
What have you got?
Sorry I missed this
the first time around.
That's Phillip Hogan.
One of the original designers
of the software on the Apollo.
You sure he was murdered?
No question.
This is evidence of twisting.
The vertebrae has been torqued.
Yeah but that could've
been caused by the crash.
True but the hyoid's
been crushed. And look.
Thumb prints directly above the bone.
This is our murder victim.
Could've been mistaken
for O'Neill in the dark
and all the confusion.
There's more.
Is that Walt Mack,
the tanker truck driver?
Hmmhmm. I got his dental records
for a positive ID.
And?
When I took an x-ray for comparison
It's a bullet in his head.
100 per cent.
Walt was thorough
in his approach to suicide,
I'll give him that much.
IF it was suicide.
Sheriff, can you spare
the deputies to search the area
around the crossing
for Walter Mack's gun?
Will do.
- Thanks, Parker.
- Thank you.
We're really under pressure to
release Lucas to social services
but he's not American so that means
he'll be going to
an immigration detention centre.
Yeah, I'm still
trying to contact his family.
We know the mother was taking
him to see his grandfather,
we just don't know where.
Well, let's hope he gets here in time.
If no one turns up, could you
release him to my care?
Just that he's gone through
so much already.
For a day or two, it's better
than the alternative.
I hope you realise that you've,
um, done a great job here.
Feels like I got
ten years experience
in a matter of days.
Thanks. You look good.
You know, I didn't take you for a liar.
I see you got the boy's car.
Hmmhmm. Yeah.
He left it with me
for the night. Keep me company.
So when do they get me out
'coz you know,
I'm basically a sitting duck here.
We're working on it.
You're here under a false name.
The FBI, they told the press
that you didn't make it.
I see. And how long do you think
that's gonna hold up?
Max, do you, um
What? What is it?
We found the murder victim.
Did you take a good look
at the man who killed him?
No.
Was anybody else there? Do you
think anybody could ID him?
Did you tell anyone what we saw?
Good. Keep it that way.
No one.
Hey Kendra. You may wanna get here.
Jordan Cole just showed up.
Great! Pulling up right now.
- Hey.
- Hey!
Mr Cole.
I should've called ahead.
- Phil's death has been
- I understand.
I'm very sorry to have to tell you this
but, uh, we believe
Mr Hogan was murdered.
You can't be serious?
It's possible that he was
mistaken for someone else.
I need Phil's laptop.
I'm sorry but uh, only
next of kin can have access
It contains patented information.
I can get a court order.
Like the one blocking access
to your software?
Give me the computer and I'll
release the software reports.
Wait here.
- He's taller than I thought.
- Cool too.
- Theo.
- Yup?
I need you to go to the FBI lock-up.
Copy everything
off Phillip Hogan's laptop
and bring it right back here.
- Is that legal?
- I'll check while you're gone.
Uh, I'll come with you.
You might need me.
- Just Just be discreet.
- OK.
Agent Hunter.
Hi, uh I need your OK on something.
Is that Jordan Cole?
Yes.
And I'm just about to hand him evidence
from your lock-up.
Oh. This sounds interesting.
Do you know where the FBI lock-up is?
- Yeah. It's up there.
- Thanks.
That it?
Yeah! Uh, yeah, that looks like it.
Uh, great! Thank you so much.
No problem.
OK. Awesome.
Ah, it's dead.
- It's dead?
- Almost yeah.
Uh, this should work.
Uh, thank you.
- His phone.
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
- OK.
Hey.
- OK.
- Thanks.
Thank you!
- Everything OK?
- Yeah, it's all good.
Mr Cole. Have you sent the reports?
Right. Then I believe this is yours.
You're wasting your time.
The software had nothing
to do with the crash.
Mr Cole, do you know of anyone
that might've wanted Hogan dead?
Have you ever
thought something so crazy,
even you didn't believe it?
Happens to me all the time.
Then I may have something
to discuss with you soon.
I'll be in touch.
Mr Cole!
Sure.
OK.
Calling the office.
Yes, Mr Cole?
Cancel my meetings for the next
two days. I'll be in transit.
- To where, sir?
- Toronto.
Wow. Toronado.
Great American muscle car.
455 under the hood right?
You wanna buy it? Ah!
I got bills to pay.
Oh I wish, Bill. I wish but uh,
I'm not here to buy a car.
I'm here because we would like for you
to appear in a campaign ad for us.
What? No, no, no, no.
Look, I appreciate what you guys
are doing but I'm no actor.
Good. I'm not looking for an actor.
I'm looking for real people
with important stories.
Like what happened to you
after that awful crash.
That lady was brought in
to scapegoat me.
Let's make sure it doesn't
happen to anyone else.
Alright, what I have to do in this ad?
Uh, how about you just keep
working on this beauty?
How does that sound?
Do you know, I think I could name
every single part in here that
was manufactured by our company.
Right here in Michigan.
Don't you dare sell her, Bill.
Are you good to go?
Nah, it says here three generations.
- It's only two.
- Three sounds better.
Yeah, well, I don't do bullshit.
OK, we'll take it out.
Just say what sounds good.
Let's uh, close the hood
and then straight
into the camera, OK Bill?
Yeah, alright.
I'm Bill Ratch. I worked 30 years
at Union Michigan Rail.
My father the same.
But I got let go 'coz of this
automated train disaster.
Computers. They're never to blame.
Just people. 'Coz people can be fired.
That's why I'm voting for Diana Bright.
'Coz she knows the real America
is the one where people can
still take pride in their work.
Bill, that was uh, that was great!
That was amazing. Really moving.
- Felt a bit
- No, Bill. It was perfect.
It was perfect. We just need you
to sign a waiver
and then we're all good.
Yeah, alright OK.
- Thanks.
- No, I guess thank you.
URSA Technologies shares
continue their slide
following reports that software failure
may have had a roll
in the Apollo disaster.
Labelled by some as the next Elon Musk,
URSA CEO Jordan Cole frequently
titled his automation technology
as the next step in the global
transportation revolution.
Theo. Where are we at with Cole?
Uh, the software reports
for the Apollo came in.
- I'm just about to get to them.
- OK, great.
Did you find anything
of interest on Hogan's laptop?
It's heavily encrypted.
It could take weeks to get in.
- Bollox.
- But Charlotte nabbed his phone.
This, I can crack in a couple of hours.
You two make quite the team, don't you?
- Yeah.
- Guys? Guys, I found something.
So, I tracked down
two of the missing passengers,
both safe and sound.
So that only leaves one man
still unaccounted for.
This is him.
- What's his name?
- I don't know. Yet.
This is our mystery man
getting on the train in Detroit.
He paid with cash
so no way to track him.
We can't see his face.
As if he knows
where the security cameras are.
Right? And that continues.
I only have one more shot of him.
Yeah, but he goes into the washroom.
You gotta have him coming out.
He doesn't.
- Not ever?
- No.
I watched the footage all
the way through to the crash.
- He never appears again.
- Right.
Can you uh, fast forward
just before the emergency stop?
- Sure.
- To that same washroom area.
Wait. What's that?
What's that? Go back a bit
and just play it frame by frame, please.
The woman who uh, had the baby.
She said that she saw someone
outside at the emergency stop.
But that could be the train operator.
He had to go outside
to reset the brakes.
- No, she didn't think so.
- No, no, no.
The timecode is 20, 53, 40.
Sheffield didn't leave the
cockpit for another two minutes.
That emergency stop
is somehow connected.
Theo, have you checked out
the trainspotting videos?
We've got a couple guys on it yeah.
OK, do me a favour.
Will you take a look
and see if you can find
anything that was shot
after the emergency stop.
It's a long shot but it's worth a try.
Where are you going?
Just uh, just gonna head out
for some air!
Dispatch to Apollo.
What's going on there, Keith?
Someone must've
pulled the emergency brake
but computer's
not telling me which cabin.
A computer malfunction. It can't be.
Just ignore the blasted thing.
You need to rearm the brakes.
What're you looking for? Hmm?
More evidence against me?
You'll wanna charge me
with manslaughter next.
What are you doing out here?
You think I don't wanna know
what happened?
It's all on my head, right?
As I explained to you earlier Mr Ratch,
getting Keith Sheffield to speed up
had nothing to do with the crash.
- You sure about that?
- Yes.
I explained it all to your employer.
I'd um, I'd be happy
to testify on your behalf.
So I didn't get all those people killed.
- No.
- Or Keith.
The brake system,
it lost all air pressure
after the emergency stop and
I'm trying to figure out why.
What is it?
If I had to take a guess
I'd say it's window lining.
What do you think?
It might be.
- Theo!
- Kendra, check this out.
I was searching through
the trainspotting videos
and I found this. A kid took it
just minutes before the crash.
- You see what I see?
- Yeah.
- There's no reflections in that window.
- Yeah.
Theo, I found this on marker 79.
The emergency stop. Window lining.
We should check
if it comes from the Apollo.
Absolutely. Odds are it does.
I'll check when you're at lunch.
I don't do lunch.
- What about a working lunch?
- Dom?
What are you doing here?
Well, a friend gets carjacked
by a cartel, I like to drop by.
Come on, I'm starving.
What's good to eat around here?
- You're in for a treat.
- I bet.
- See you in a bit.
- Yep.
So is it chips or French fries?
Where are you
with the investigation so far?
Do you really think the cartel
may have crashed that train?
Possibly.
Well, it's quaint, I'll give it that.
- It is indeed.
- Have to watch it.
I almost got ran over
three times in Washington.
This is Gale.
- Miss Malley!
- Ah, give me a second, yeah?
Just the lady I was hoping to find.
You found the gun?
Yup. My deputy scooped it up
about a hundred feet from the crossing.
It was probably thrown from
Walt's truck with the impact.
It's twin barrel?
Yeah. Snake-killer.
Rattlesnakes, stuff like that.
I didn't know they had
rattlesnakes in Michigan.
There's snakes everywhere, ma'am.
Can you verify that this is Walt's?
I can call
the National Gun Tracing Centre
but I wouldn't hold your breath.
There are 400 million guns
in this country.
Ah, good thing we were
only looking for one, eh?
- Thanks!
- Yeah.
So they really have sheriffs here.
I am so in the mood for comfort food!
- Stop it. Hi, Gale.
- Dom, this is Gale.
She helped find survivors
on the night of the crash.
Oh, had to do something.
Did the mom and baby make it out OK?
- They did, they're good.
- Good news for a change!
So today's special is Dinty Moore.
- Sorry, Dinty what now?
- We'll take two.
You'll love it.
Dinty Moore.
- Dinty Moore.
- Hello.
Hi, uh. Ellen Hunter, FBI.
Uh, Dom Hayes,
I work with Kendra in London.
- Nice to meet you.
- Formerly Scotland Yard.
Oh! Thank you for letting us borrow her.
Hey, I'm just on my way to the hospital.
- Excuse me, I just got this.
- O'Neill is alive.
It's a messaging app used by the cartel.
Fake news didn't last long.
On my way to the hospital now.
When are you moving him?
I'm trying to get a helicopter,
budget's being what they are.
Put a rush on that for you,
Agent Hunter. Here you go.
Thank you. No one likes cops around.
I know it.
- Thanks.
- So, um, Howard.
Any desperate pleas
from house arrest?
Actually, he called with an idea
about the investigation.
I shut him down.
Well, good for you.
Yeah, turns out it was a good idea.
Well, that's Howard being Howard then.
And how about otherwise?
How are you keeping with the Americans?
- I feel a bit untethered here.
- In a good way or in a bad way?
- Yeah.
- Right.
I miss AJ you know, being so far away.
Oh, he's gonna be what,
starting Oxford soon.
It's not like he's coming home
for the weekend, right?
True.
I'm working with a new team and the FBI
and don't get me wrong,
it's a lot of work but I
I think it's been good for me, Dom.
Um, sorry, Gale?
Could I get some milk, please?
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
So um, Howard. He's getting to you, huh?
Yeah, he's eating at me.
I don't really know how to stop it.
Well, I've heard forgiveness
is the way to go.
It won't work much for me but
Good luck with that.
The fork?
Cheers.
I'm here. Yeah.
Bring me proof when it's done.
I need to know he's gone.
Huh?
Oh, sorry to sneak up on you like that.
I was just wondering
if you want some company.
I mean, stake outs are the worst.
Sure.
- Can I pour you a cup of coffee?
- Cup of cold right here.
Oh, yeah.
- Thanks.
- Bring your own water.
I have to admit, I was surprised
when I first met you.
My grandpa was a sheriff,
my dad was a deputy.
All my cousins are law
enforcement officers but
I mean, how'd someone like you
end up with a badge?
Someone like me. Um, I Hard work.
I worked my way through school.
Um, actually applied twice
before they accepted me.
- Seem a bit surprised.
- I just didn't, you know
I guess I maybe assumed
that they'd fast-tracked you
or something.
No. No.
- Well, I think you're gonna live.
- Gee, thanks, Doc.
Doctor Klein
to the nurses' station, please.
- Can I help you?
- Uh, looking for the morgue.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Down that way through the parking lot.
So, now you're taking on
the big, bad cartel?
- And how does that feel?
- Good.
You know, some of us
go after the big fish,
some of us stay home
and keep the town safe.
Right? We all gotta do our part.
Protect and serve. It's got character
Take the front,
I'll go around the back.
Come on, keep moving.
Everything OK?
Looks like someone
pulled the fire alarm.
Get back, get back!
STOP! Move outta the way!
- Ugh!
- Agent Hunter!
This is Sheriff McCullogh.
The suspect is down on 50 Main Street.
We heard shots. What's going on?
A man came for Max.
We think he was cartel.
Was?
I took him out.
He's on his way to the morgue.
- And what about Max?
- He's gone.
Don't know where, don't know how.
So, you think O'Neill's
gonna head to Chicago?
If he's still alive. We don't
know if the hitman was alone.
You OK?
Yeah. Charlotte! Have you met Dom?
Uh, no but Theo told me all about you.
Anything from the software reports?
Uh, nothing, no. I did manage to
get into Hogan's phone records.
Did you find anything?
Yeah, these are the last calls
Phillip Hogan made.
Uh, limousine service on the way there.
Jordan Cole's cell.
The last call he made was when
he was travelling on the train.
Private number, no name.
He called that number 10 minutes
before the train derailed.
Yeah and it wasn't the only time.
He called multiple times
the past two weeks
and erased it from his history
and we had to dig.
Sounds like Phil had something to hide.
Let's give this private line a ring.
Uh, yeah.
Hello?
Hi, hello. This is Kendra Malley.
I'm calling from the FTSA
at the site
of the Apollo train derailment.
Sorry, who am I speaking to, please?
Sergeant Boyle of the Hamilton
Ontario Police Unit.
- In Canada?
- That's the one.
Uh, Sergeant Boyle, a person
of interest dialed this number
just before our train derailed.
Can I ask why?
This isn't my phone and we've
just arrived at the scene.
Scene?
The person you're calling is dead.
One man calls the other man
and next few hours, they're both dead.
Dom, do you um, would you
go check out the car crash?
What, in Canada? I just got here.
I think there could be a connection.
- Came here to watch your back.
- Kendra.
- Any sign of Max?
- I put a wide perimeter.
Somehow he must've slipped through.
- Let's hope he shows up in Chicago.
- He promised.
Only a couple days left
until the grand jury.
Jordan Cole's right, there's
zero problems with software.
I mean, it's possible
he altered the reports
- Are you OK?
- Uh, yeah, sorry. The morgue.
It's hard to just
put it out of my mind but
Yeah, I know, I get it.
But hey, that's why we're here.
We're here to make sure whatever
happened to those people
never happens again.
And you're really helping with that.
You're a rockstar, Charlotte.
So, what's the deal? Are you single?
- Sorry.
- No! No, um, I
I was seeing someone but she moved on.
Um, I like to think
it's 'coz I work so much.
- Could be your personality.
- Um.
- Kidding.
- Right. Yeah, no.
Uh, what about you?
Um, I date online for fun
but I have like abandonment issues.
Like, how do you mean?
Like, I think everyone will
abandon me and then they do.
Right. Maybe you just jump too quick.
Maybe.
Back to work.
Thanks for coming, Dom.
You're worried about
that fugitive, aren't you? Max.
Well, he's He's been through so much.
Lost causes and stray cats.
Look, in the morning, I'll, eh,
I'll drive up to Canada
and check out that car crash.
Thanks, Dom.
One more for the road?
I'd love to but I need
a clear head in the morning.
Yeah, you and me both.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- I needed that.
- Anytime.
I, um, I should get some sleep.
- Yeah, me too.
- Yeah, good luck with that.
You haven't checked out
the mattresses yet.
Right.
- Goodnight then.
- Night.
Who's the guy outside?
