Departure (2019) s02e05 Episode Script

Previously on "Departure"
Evidence you need
to take the cartel down.
(ELLEN) The financial records.
You told him I was on the train
Emilio, I know that for a fact!
This crash is starting
to look less like an accident
and more like a severed brake line.
I'm here cos we would like you
to appear in a campaign ad.
And who has Bill Ratch been
fired by? Who is the woman
Governor Martin put in charge
of the investigation
of this state's worst disaster?
You've made me look
like a crap-slinging asshole!
You said she scapegoated you.
I never signed up for this shit!
Have you ever seen this man before?
No.
Ugh!
62 people dead.
- You gonna kill me too?
- Yeah.
(GUNSHOT)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
He's back in the country.
I just got off the phone
with border control.
Did you get a hold of Bill Ratch?
Still not picking up.
Well, let me know if you want me
to lean on the guy.
I will do.
(LINE RINGS AND BEEPS)
(BILL'S MACHINE) Hello. It's
Bill Ratch. Leave a message.
Mr. Ratch?
Mr. Ratch?
Mr. Ratch?
(PHONE RINGS)
- Hello?
- It's Bob.
Where are you?
- With Emilio.
- Max?
Kinda need your help.
Carlos Ortega is here in Chicago.
What are you gonna do?
We're gonna make sure
he never kills again.
You're telling me we still
don't know who this guy is!
How hard can it be?
He is a white male, 35 to 45
years old, medium build.
He knows how to use a det cord.
He is trained to evade surveillance
which means he probably
has a military background.
And he is willing to kill.
I don't want one more death
on our hands.
Check militias, gun clubs,
radical groups in the area.
We're the FBI, start acting like it.
I'm pulling into Chicago now.
KENDRA: Max has agreed to meet with you.
Let's hope he sticks to it.
He better!
He's gonna get himself killed.
You wanted an update on Bill Ratch.
He's alive. The bullet
missed all vital organs
but he has lost a lot of blood.
Ah. Do you know
when I can speak with him?
Oh, could be days until he's
conscious, if he wakes at all.
- Was the wound self-inflicted.
- Ah, no way to tell.
- Sorry.
- Sure.
(PA) Doctor Jones to the second floor.
(POLICE RADIO) We're in
position. Any sign of him?
Nothing so far.
Come on.
(REPORTER) The recent crash
of the Apollo has highlighted
an undeniable fact
that the world is entering
an age of automation
unlike anything before.
According to recent studies,
up to 50 percent
of all jobs in America
could be lost to automation
in two decades.
What are you doing here?
Look, you really thought
I was gonna lie in bed all day?
Well, I did actually, yeah.
Oh, Dom found a connection, uh,
to him and det cord.
Ok, let's call him.
- DOM: Hey.
- Dom, have you ID'd our ghost?
No, not yet. But Sergeant Boyle
did find a lead
on the det cord used to crash the car.
A local dealer known
to sell on the dock here.
- We're heading there now.
- OK.
I saw a residue
on the emergency-brake pipe
before I got knocked out.
That sounds like det cord to me.
Det cord on the train,
det cord on Connor Tate's car.
Ok, let us know what you find out.
Will do.
Ditched the uniform, did we?
Why set alarms off
before we even get in the place.
I call shotgun.
(COUGHS)
Max O'Neill. We finally meet.
I had to make sure it was safe.
I'm just sorry you thought
we were working for the cartel.
I mean, this could've
been a whole lot easier.
I'm only here cos Kendra said
I could trust you.
She said the same about you.
Guess we should listen to Kendra
more often.
Emilio called Carlos.
- We're meeting in an hour.
- You sure you're up for this?
Cos it could turn bad on you.
I mean, I'll do whatever it takes.
This could be our only chance.
And the priest?
He needs to make things right.
Just get Ortega to talk
and we'll take care of the rest.
Keep this on so we can
keep track of what's going down.
(GRUNTS IN AGREEMENT)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Hello, Rose.
You know why I'm here.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
- Are you ready?
- Yeah. Let's go.
- Hello, Max.
- Carlos, please.
Tsh, tsh, tsh. No pleading.
Take him out of here.
- No.
- (CARLOS SPEAKS SPANISH)
- Don't hurt him.
- The priest? I think I will.
He introduced you to my sister.
He's gonna pay for that.
Maria loved him.
Maria had very bad taste in men. Sit.
(CARLOS SIGHS)
So you, uh,
came to kill me yourself, huh?
After crashing the train
and after your hitman fail?
I had nothing to do with that crash.
Carlos. Why would I believe you?
(CARLOS SCOFFS)
I don't care if you believe me
but I'm glad that you survived.
- (KNIFE SCHLUKS)
- (CHOKES)
Now, you're going to pay for Maria.
You blame me for her death
but you you ordered the bomb.
The bomb was for you!
Now, you're going to pay
for her death with your life.
You got all that?
Shoot him! Shoot him now!
FBI, drop the gun.
Drop it! Drop the gun!
Max! Max. Get the gun!
I've got this.
Gimme the knife. Gimme the knife. Max?
Give it to me.
Hands on your head Ortega.
On your head! I will not hesitate.
I've been waiting too long
for this. Move it. Move!
Cuff him.
- Are you alright?
- (SIGHS) Yeah. You?
Someone's looking out for us.
(LINE RINGS)
Ellen.
Ortega is in custody.
We got him on tape
admitting to Maria's murder.
That's great news. Is Max alright?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Can't believe it's finally over.
But Kendra,
Carlos denies crashing the train.
Well, why would he tell the truth?
He was about to kill me.
Why would he lie?
Yeah, why would he lie.
Can you believe it?
They say he's from around here.
I'll put these on your tab.
I'm sorry to hear about Bill Ratch.
What happened to Ratch.
Well, they say
it was his gun in his hand.
- He took his own life?
- He's still hanging on.
This world.
Thank you for everything.
Oh. You're welcome.
Well, you sure don't make things easy.
Had me running, man.
Hi, you two. How did it go last night?
- The kid says I snore.
- Lucas?
Lucas, what is it?
I saw that man!
He killed someone!
Do you think Do you think
you could show me where?
It's OK, it's OK.
(LINE RINGS)
He's here! He knows everything!
I don't know what to do.
No! You don't know him like I do.
(MAN) Rose!
Watch your step.
You sure you wanna do this?
Should the boy be here?
After all he has been through?
He thinks that he may have seen
our mystery man kill Hogan.
(ECHOES) It's done.
That grave was dug years ago.
So, what's next?
Years of therapy, I suppose.
Hopefully not.
(ECHOES) She's pretty huh?
Too late! She's mine.
(ECHOES) San Diego looks amazing.
I liked the Baja.
This place where you can see
the baby turtles hatch.
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Mom!
- I was looking for my mom.
- (ECHOES) Mom!
A pick up truck.
A man came out of it.
He was talking
to the man in the picture.
What did the two men do?
There was a fight. They killed someone.
KENDRA: And then what happened?
LUCAS: The man in the picture
ran to the train.
He ran from there.
To there.
Here?
Yeah.
The brake valve.
You checked the valve the
morning after the crash, right?
Absolutely, it was in open
position just as it is now.
Well, maybe the two men
turned the valve from closed
to open after the crash.
They'd cover up the real reason
the Apollo left the tracks.
Why? Why wreck a train
and then go to all that trouble
covering up how?
Perhaps they wanted us to come
to a different conclusion.
One that would put the blame elsewhere.
Lucas? Do you remember
what the other men looked like?
Did you hear anything that they said?
Hey, you've done really well OK?
Thank you.
Yeah, come on, buddy, let's go.
Come on.
(PEOPLE SCREAM)
(CRASH ECHOES)
(EXPLOSION)
That cord burst
at about 30,000 feet per second.
Aw. Cuts like a knife.
This is just a taste
what this stuff can do.
DOM: Looks pretty dangerous.
It's against regulation to
be here without safety glasses.
OK guys, go ahead. Please take a look.
Pardon me for a sec. Thank you.
What can I do for you?
Heard a rumor you're the guy to
talk to about buying det cord.
Yeah, that's funny. I heard that too.
Buy online, get shipped direct.
You think I jeapordize my whole business
just for a few extra bucks?
Yeah, I do. Do you?
- You two cops?
- BOYLE: Do I look like a cop?
You sure talk like one.
Thank you! I think?
Listen, Peter, we're not here
to take down your little empire
but we will if we have to.
We just need some information.
- And what's that?
- The names of your US clients.
I can't believe he saw what he saw.
Yeah and kept it a secret.
What about his mom's cellphone?
She's gotta have
someone who knows
his grandpa or something.
There's a handful of contacts
but I checked.
They're all friends of Brad's.
Don't worry. We'll figure it out.
Um.
Hey, uh, Lucas. So, um
Hey, bud.
Listen, Lucas
I'm really sorry
about what happened to you.
And I know what it's like
to live with someone like Brad.
Don't worry.
We're gonna find your grandpa.
OK? I promise.
Alright, let's do it.
Got your stick? Back to work.
Wanna shortcut? OK, race me!
(REPORTER) Governor Martin was
on the move today in Dearborn
as he tries
to keep his lead in the polls.
His pro-Apollo stance
has left some voters in doubt.
(MAN SPEAKS IN BACKGROUND OVER TV)
Yeah, we have the money. Spend it.
- You heard?
- About Bill?
Tried to kill himself, yeah.
We're gonna recut the commercial,
redo the voiceover,
double down on the whole
'foreign investigator pushes
good American man to suicide'.
Or we did!
Diana, there's two days to go
in this campaign
and we are two points behind.
Look, if you think the new ad
is too much then I can pull it.
Pick up his medical costs
and if he dies, God forbid,
we'll pay for the funeral.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
(CHATTER)
(ELLEN) Alright. Alright!
Alright, go back to work.
Lots of work to do.
Congratulations.
Wouldn't have happened without you.
- Pretty sure I owe you one now.
- You still sticking aroud?
Like I said,
I wanna catch these bastards.
I don't know who they are but I
know how they crashed the train.
OK, Theo.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
So, this is a man
that we're calling the ghost.
Boarded the train in Detroit.
He avoided security cameras
and then entered the washroom
outside car 2.
KENDRA: Once inside,
he removed the window
and then he accessed the emergency brake
that runs through a panel in the wall.
(KNOCKING)
He used det cord which severed
the emergency-brake line.
When the train stopped,
he climbed out of the window
where he was briefly spotted
by a passenger.
He waited for the train operator
to reset the brakes
and then he turned the lever
back to the closed position,
disabling the brakes and assuring
that the Apollo would crash
when it hits the curve.
But what then?
I mean, he's not gonna get
back on the train
knowing it's a death-trap.
Exactly. I suspect he had
a vehicle waiting for him.
He continued on the crossing
and then he turned the brake
lever to the open position,
making it appear
that the brakes functioned.
Well, why the truck at the tracks
if they knew the train
was gonna derail anyway?
And who killed the truck driver?
Couldn't have been the same guy.
No. Whoever did this
wanted us to blame the train.
My money is on the cartel hitman.
He's your second man.
(LOW CHATTER)
- Kendra?
- Yeah?
- I found something.
- Sure.
(MAN) Mr. Cole. How was
your visit to Canada, sir?
Productive. I'm heading back
to Michigan now.
OK, so. Check it out.
I found this!
Phillip Hogan and Jordan Cole, right?
Oh, one minute.
Who's Who's the young lady?
Well, SHE is the interesting part.
That is Rose Tate.
Connor Tate's sister?
She was some sort of like super-genius.
The three of them won a robotics
engineering award in college.
Yeah, Jordan Cole told me
that him and Hogan
started URSA in school.
Well, maybe
there were more people involved.
I mean, Rose and Connor's
father, John Tate,
he's like an angel investor.
He put tonnes of money into
various different innovations.
- Did he put money into URSA?
- I dunno. I could look into it?
Please do. Thanks, Charlotte.
(LINE RINGS AND BEEPS)
KENDRA: Yeah, Dom?
Hey. We tracked down
the det cord supplier
and we managed to snag
his US client list.
OK, um, hang on. Let me put you
on speaker. Any in Michigan?
DOM: Yes, four addresses in your area.
Closest is a Tom Hazel.
Just outside Jackson.
OK, we're just looking.
No, that's not our mystery man.
He doesn't seem to have
a criminal record either.
Well, could he be the middle man
between the explosives dealer
and our sabateur?
- We'll check him out.
- OK. Oh yeah, listen Dom.
When you interviewd Rose Tate,
did she mention
anything to you
about knowing Phillip Hogan?
No, she actually denied knowing him.
Yeah? Well, she's telling porkies.
Can you find out why?
- Telling what?
- Oh sorry, porkies.
It's British rhyming slang
for porkie pies, lies.
I knew it. She flinched
when we mentioned his name.
See? Good instincts.
- Where do you think you're going?
- With you.
- No. This is the police part.
- And part of my investigation.
Look, we've been down this road before.
Yup and we've decided
we're better together.
Look, this isn't my first rodeo, OK?
You follow my instruction
to the letter, right?
- Yep!
- And wear a vest.
Any further precise location
on suspect's trailer?
(WOMAN ON RADIO) Residency records
supplied by park-owner incomplete.
This is the location.
Alright, we're gonna split up.
Go door to door. Move fast
and quiet. No! You stay here.
I will let you know if we find anything.
You're not wearing the vest.
No. Are you wearing the vest?
(RADIO) It goes far, as far back
as the Industrial Revolution, right?
They were finding ways to take freedom
from ordinary people. Get them
(RADIO CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND)
(RADIO) they organised.
They started realising
what was going on.
That they were being enslaved.
The tyranny was upon them.
Mobile arms had to come up
with something new.
They came up with the internet.
Fast way of spreading mass propoganda
(RADIO) replacing workers with robots
to keep them impoverished.
Relying on government handouts to exist.
This is something
that throughout history,
those keeping us
from finding out control
have to adapt and find new ways
to stop the revolution
that IS coming. I promise you that.
(RADIO FADES)
How are you?
Uh, I was, eh
- I was looking for a Tom Hazel?
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, what do you need with him?
- Just a few questions.
But, um, I can come back
another time, it's no problem.
Oh. It's too late for that now.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
(GRUNTING)
(AXE CRASHES ON DOOR)
Ellen!
Ellen!
- Shit!
- Ellen!
Go!
- Come on, come on!
- KENDRA: Ellen!
Go, go!
Brick!
Down, FBI!
ELLEN: Kendra?!
Kendra?!
- ELLEN: Are you OK? You OK?
- Yeah.
OK, you're OK.
Did you Did you get him?
No.
(GASPS)
(AIRCRAFT FLIES OVERHEAD)
(AIRCRAFT FLIES OVERHEAD)
(CLEARS THROAT)
- You sure you're alright?
- Yeah, good.
- This coulda cost you your life.
- I'm fine. What did you find?
His name is Tyler Brick. He was laid off
from the railyard years ago
and guess who his supervisor is.
- Bill Ratch?
- Before that, in the military.
Makes sense.
Special Agent Hunter.
You'll wanna see what's inside.
That's the schematic for the Apollo.
That's Phillip Hogan.
That's Hogan's seat.
Which means that
he was the target, not Max.
Alright you guys fan out,
let's join the search.
- Let's find this guy, move.
- What's this?
"We are all temples made of cold bones
and warm ashes. Our only value is in
our use by giving action
to an idea do we deserve
(TYLER CONTINUES) There is
no answer. Only choices.
To feel guilt is an escape.
If God speaks, it is with my own voice.
And if he acts,
it is with my own hands."
(PHONE RINGS)
- Hi, I'm on my way back.
- (THEO) Hey, Kendra.
So, Charlotte's been digging
into Jordan Cole's company.
I found all this stuff
about the underlying patent.
The patent for the automation
software that runs the train.
And?
It's governed by what's called
The Joint-Holding Agreement.
Which means that if one
of the patent holders dies,
their shares get distributed
amongst the others.
Which mean whoever holds the final
patent inherits the whole thing.
And who are the patent holders?
Jordan Cole, Phillip Hogan,
Rose and Connor Tate.
CHARLOTTE: Gonna be worth
a kajillion dollars in 10 years.
THEO: Yeah, the same software
is gonna be used in automated
cars, planes, everything.
Right. So with Phillip Hogan
and Connor Tate dead,
the only person standing
in between Jordan Cole
and complete ownership of the patent
Is Rose Tate.
Alright, I'm on my way back.
It's open.
BOYLE: Hello?
Rose, it's Sergeant Boyle!
Rose, you in here?
Rose?
DOM: Rose?
Call the ambulance!
(PHONE RINGS)
- Did you find her?
- I did.
She was unconscious.
With her wrists cut.
DOM: Looks like suicide.
Or someone wants it
to look like suicide.
DOM: Could be. I'll call you later.
(MAN SPEAKING LOUDLY)
(HELICOPTER OVERHEAD)
Hey, no news on Brick but you
I need to know where Jordan Cole is.
- Can you track his phone?
- Why?
I think he may have something to do
with all this.
The crashing of his own train?
I know it sounds ridiculous
but all the evidence
is pointing that way.
OK, I'll see what I can do.
(REPORTER FADES IN)
But make no mistake,
what we're witnessing here
is investigative cancel culture.
You haven't seen it yet.
You must get this crap at home.
I get this crap everywhere.
ELLEN: Mmm-hmm.
I think I'll pay Mr. Bright a visit.
OK. Thanks.
(SONG PLAYS THROUGH SPEAKERS)
Why does it feel like everyone's
staring and pretending not to?
(SIGHS) The new campaign ad.
Never thought I'd need a bodyguard
when I became a crash investigator.
Hmm. Why did you?
Become a crash investigator?
Oh, uh Well actually,
I originally
wanted to be a fighter pilot.
- (LAUGHS)
- Really?
Yeah! Yeah. Um.
My parents were worried about the risks
so I did a bunch of research
and the more I looked into it,
the more I realised
I was fascinated by crashes.
(CHARLOTTE) Hmm.
I could see you as a fighter pilot.
Are you Are you serious?
Sure!
(GAIL) Got you some fries
while you wait for that takeout.
What do you say Lucas?
You like that?
That is our football team.
But between you and me,
they're not very good.
(CHARLOTTE LAUGHS)
THEO: Alright, buddy?
GAIL: Any luck finding his family?
CHARLOTTE: We're still trying.
Keep the energy up. OK, thanks a lot.
Ah, Mr. Bright. Excuse me.
Miss Malley. Welcome.
Thank you. The man I have to
thank for becoming a celebrity.
Oh, don't take it personally.
Don't take it personally?
How should I take it?
I mean, all the attention is just,
it's incredibly flattering Mr. Bright.
- Look, that's just politics.
- Politics.
I'm sure someone as smart as you
can understand.
No, actually I don't understand.
I don't understand how you can
exploit a man's possible suicide
attempt for your campaign.
We're in the process of setting up
a fundraising site
on Mr. Ratch's behalf.
Well, your kindness is overwhelming.
Can I contribute to this
or would that lose you votes?
You could always do it anonymously.
Like mother, like son huh?
(TELEPHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND)
(PHONE RINGS)
I'm ready, where are you?
(DISTORTED VOICE) Car's
waiting for you down the road.
It's time to cut the head off the snake.
(TYLER'S VOICE ECHOES) Man must
act knowing there is no answer.
No true judge of right and wrong.
Only choices.
And actions.
And consequences.
(TYLER'S VOICE ECHOES) To tremble
at another man's fears is weakness.
It is a judgement all its own.
It makes a damnation
of this Earth.
Makes a hellfire of our bones.
(TYLER'S VOICE ECHOES) If God speaks,
it is with my own voice.
And if he acts, it is with my own hands.
- Oh wait! I've got the keys!
- I'll let him in.
Dude! Ugh. (CHARLOTTE LAUGHS)
You think he's gonna be alright?
Yeah, he'll be fine.
He's a little fighter.
Takes one to know one, eh?
Hey, I saw you talking
to that campaign guy
when I came out of the diner.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Let me know if you ever need
backup. I'm pretty scrappy.
I will do.
- Night.
- Night.
Mmm-hmm yeah. Sorry Mr. Miller,
have a good night. Thank you!
Thank you for your help. Thank you.
Ugh.
Oh!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Search isn't going so well, huh?
No, apparently there are a lot
of Mr. Millers in San Diego so..
Do you want me to take a page?
I can start making phone calls.
Uh, yeah sure.
Uh hi! Laurence Miller?
Is this Mr No?
Hey, um, hello. I'm looking for a
John Miller. Johnson?
(PHONE RINGS)
Dom. What did you find?
We got the security footage
off the doorbell cam.
Jordan Cole leaving the house.
Uh. I'll call you straight back.
(RADIO) Every time a politician,
a mayoral candidate,
a gubernatorial candidate,
a senatorial candidate,
whatever. They always..
(KNOCKING)
(KNOCKING)
Dom just called.
Jordan Cole was at Rose Tate's
just before they found her.
We tracked him across
from the Canadian border.
- He's on his way here.
- OK, let's call him.
- (ELLEN CLEARS THROAT)
- (LINE RINGS)
- (LINE PICKS UP)
- Miss Malley.
I was just about to call you.
Mr. Cole, I have to let you know
- I have Agent Hunter with me.
- The FBI?
Just wanna ask you
a few questions, Mr. Cole.
Were you in Toronto earlier
today visiting Rose Tate?
Why are you asking?
(RADIO) You have
high-speed trains buzzing.
You can get from here to here
in an hour and a half.
Uh, you know,
yeah it's impressive but
You don't understand.
Travelling from here to there.
I didn't meet any.
I didn't run into a soul!
When I had a problem
We do know about the patent Mr. Cole,
and that the last person alive
inherits it all.
Which in this case that's you.
I turned them down
and this is what happened.
They backed out in the beginning
and they wanted back in.
- Who wanted back in?
- Look, you have to
- (GUNSHOT)
- (CAR BEEPS CONTINUOUSLY)
Mr. Cole? Mr. Cole, can you hear me?
(CAR BEEPS CONTINOUSLY)
Jordan?!
Jordan, are you OK?
