Departure (2019) s02e06 Episode Script

KENDRA: Previously on "Departure"
You made me look like a crap
slinging asshole that's not me!
You said she scapegoated you, right?
I don't understand how you can
exploit a man's suicide attempt
for the benefit of your campaign!
This is the man we're calling The Ghost.
When the train stopped,
he climbed out the window
then he rendezvoused with a second man.
LUCAS: He killed someone.
(SHRIEKS)
This one was found on Hector Sanchez
and this one killed Walter Mack
at the railroad crossing.
- Both are cartel?
- No doubt about it.
The only person standing between
Jordan Cole and ownership
of the patent is Rose Tate.
The decision's made,
there's nothing to talk about.
Call EMS!
The man to thank
for becoming a celebrity here.
Don't take that ad personally.
How should I take it?
- They backed out then came back.
- Who?
(GUNSHOT)
REPORTER: Details are scarce
at this hour
but sources have confirmed
that Jordan Cole was discovered
inside his vehicle with a gunshot wound.
Police are investigating
a potential homicide.
Cole was one of the world's luminaries
of groundbreaking advance technology
and his now famous signature
talk of 2018 has gone viral.
Now more than ever in our history,
we need to move faster, change quicker.
Find solutions that will
sustain our way of life.
As we move forward.
Our children will travel by hyper loop.
Their children will travel
through space.
These aren't fantasies.
REPORTER: Jordan Cole
made little comment in the wake
of the accident
and his software is a primary suspect
No witnesses to Cole's death.
A military style weapon.
They must've been lying in wait.
Sounds like Tyler Brick.
We've put up a wide perimeter.
We'll get him.
Thought I saw someone outside
the train when we stopped.
That's Hogan's seat
which means he was the target.
So Walter Mack didn't
commit suicide, he was killed.
REPORTER: Today, the world
mourns the loss
of a great technological genius.
A leader in the global economy,
URSA CEO
- Gunned down on the highway.
- It's awful!
Just tragic.
You hated everything the man stood for.
Yeah but I defend his right
to have that opinion.
That's what America used to be about.
(SCOFFS)
I want those days back.
(NEWS REPORTER CONTINUES)
We got a pick up truck reported stolen
20 miles from where Jordan Cole
was shot.
I'm sending you the details now.
Put out an APB on the vehicle,
check CCTV and traffic cameras
in a 40 mile radius.
I want this vehicle found, understand?
(WATER SPLASHES)
(PHONE RINGS)
Dom, have you spoken to Rose?
Sargent Boyle is checking on her now.
But we accessed her phone.
She texted her brother Conor
minutes before he left the pub
saying to come home, she needed
to speak to him right away.
- That's odd.
- Yeah.
What's up?
Nurse said the sedative should
wear off in an hour or two.
I'll call when she wakes up.
Thanks, Dom.
RADIO: Eagle has eyes on suspect.
Highway 4A.
This is McCullogh. Suspect just
passed me heading to roadblock.
- I'm on my way.
- (SIRENS BLARE)
OFFICER: Out of the car!
SHERIFF: Hands in the air!
(SHOTS FIRED)
SHERIFF: Drop your weapon!
Suspect down.
Weapon was bought at a gun show,
car was stolen,
passport was forged, there's no
fingerprints on anything.
Is there nothing else to link
him to whoever else is involved?
No. I'll let you know if that changes.
Sorry, I know you wanted
to take him in alive.
Guys like this want to go out
in a blaze of glory.
- This one right here.
- Yeah.
Oh, Kendra. Hey, bud, can you move up?
What have you got?
This is Rose Tate's social media account
from back in college.
It's mostly articles on
engineering, algorithms,
high-speed automation.
Then we found this.
- That hashtag on every post.
- American Fab Four?
Yeah. We've seen pictures of
Jordan, Rose and Phil together.
Who's the fourth?
I've searched but there's no trace.
THEO: It can't be Conor
because he dropped out
of his local college.
Those spires in the background,
where is that?
They all went to Cambridge University.
In England, yeah.
When Cole called he said
there was another person
who felt pushed out and wanted back in.
Now that he's dead,
Rose might be the only one
who can tell us anything.
So, who's the fourth person?
How long is it to fly to Toronto?
An hour away on a plane.
- OK, book me a flight, yeah?
- Uh, OK!
She's coming around.
I'm gonna make a pot of coffee.
Great, Kendra's on her way.
She's gonna do the interview.
It's kinda like meeting
Sherlock Holmes herself.
I'm not sure I'd say that to her.
OK, Watson, whatever you say.
(DIAL TONE)
Kendra, oh what a pleasant surprise!
Howard, I hope it's not too late.
Oh no. At my age, sleep
overtakes you in the day
and deserts you at night.
By the way,
did you check the trainspotters?
Was it useful?
Yeah, thank you.
I should've sent you a note.
I was wondering if you could
help me with something else.
It would be such a pleasure.
How are your contacts at Cambridge?
Well, my name is not exactly
sterling as it once was.
But what do you need?
I'll get Theo to send
you something over.
And Howard, erm.
Yes?
I'll, erm, I'll let you, just
let me know what you find, yeah?
Thanks, bye, bye.
REPORTER: Polling stations have
been busy today across Michigan.
Governor Martin and Diana Bright
made final appearances yesterday
with Ms. Bright taking the opportunity
to talk about Jordan Cole's murder.
I want to offer my condolences
to the family of Jordan Cole.
He was a brilliant man
who made immense contributions
to his field.
He and I had very different
visions of the future.
I see a future
where people still have values
and I think the voters
of Michigan prefer my vision.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
- Rose, this is Kendra Malley.
- Hi.
How are you doing?
I'm, uh,
I'm the lead investigator
in the Apollo crash.
I don't know anything about that.
Don't you?
Sixty-two people died in that crash.
I'm sure you know that much.
Rose, I know you knew
Jordan Cole and Philip Hogan
from your college days.
I also know how integral
your work was to the development
of the Apollo's automation software.
That was a long time ago.
I had a breakdown in college.
I dropped out and put it all behind me.
Sorry to hear that.
Jordan told me that there
was someone else involved
in the development of the patent
and that someone felt pushed out
and wanted back in.
Who was that?
Why don't you just ask Jordan?
You haven't heard?
I'm sorry to tell you this
but Jordan Cole was killed last night.
No.
He was on his way
to see me to tell me everything
that you knew.
- We have to go to the FBI.
- No way they'll believe us.
- We'll convince them.
- I don't think I can do it.
You'll kill us if you don't.
I told Jordan I'd go to the FBI.
I was too afraid.
Rose, for the victims' families,
you need to tell me everything you know.
I tried to get them to cut him back in
but he attacked them.
He wouldn't listen to me.
I thought he loved me.
I didn't care about the money.
I would have given them anything.
Who?
I've decided we're not selling.
But Conor, you said we would.
He's trying to rip you off, Rose.
- I'm not scared of his threats.
- Rose.
If he gets his hands on our patent,
he knows his share
will be worth billions.
Short of a catastrophe
they'll be worth even more.
Are you gonna keep letting them
push you around?
She's got no choice and neither do you.
There is always a choice.
Rose, I need to give
the victims' families answers.
You need to tell me, who is he?
I can't.
(PHONE RINGS)
- Did she give you a name?
- Not exactly.
Yeah, Howard. Did you find anything?
I'm not sure. There was
a student at Cambridge
at the same time
belonged to the same
engineering society
as Cole and the others
but he was expelled
halfway through his first year.
Seems his mother made a hefty donation
to keep the matter hush-hush.
Was his name Richard Bright?
Sometimes I wonder
why I put in the effort.
Thanks, Jill. No, no, no
that's great news. OK.
People are turning out
in droves to vote.
- Exit polls?
- They look good!
Yes! Yes! I told you!
Come from behind kid.
I couldn't have done this
without you, you know that?
Oh, I know. Without me
you'd have lost by a landslide.
Oh, you smart ass!
It sounds ridiculous but all
the evidence points that way.
We're going to accuse the next
governor of Michigan's son
of mass murder?
And now all we have
is the word of a woman
implicated in her brother's death.
It just gets better and better.
Do you think she's trustworthy?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
OK, well bring her in
and let her make a statement.
She won't go public, not with
her corroborating evidence
of Richard's guilt.
- How do we get that?
- Not sure but I'm working on it.
- Kendra.
- Yeah.
Sorry to interrupt
but I thought you'd wanna know
we found Lucas' grandpa.
He's on the phone with him now.
He's coming to get him.
That's great news.
I know half of you here thought
you'd backed the wrong pony
(LAUGHTER)
for a bit there.
But it looks
like we're gonna pull through!
(APPLAUSE)
So now what?
Now we are in for the fight
of our lives.
This state, this country is in tatters.
The tail is wagging the dog,
as my husband used to say.
Where is the dog?
I saw him packing for
the governor's house.
Ah, my son Richard.
Come here, come here.
I don't know how many of you
know this but Richard turned
his back on fame and fortune
and put his considerable energies
into this family business
and ensuring jobs.
- Say a few words, Richard.
- A few words, Richard.
He inherited his
father's sense of humor.
And his desire to win at all costs.
No, he is his own man, my son
and I am
so proud of the sacrifices he
has made
to ensure that this family
and this state pull through.
To Richard. To Richard.
ALL: To Richard.
- That's quite enough. Excuse me.
- (APPLAUSE)
Boys are always embarrassed
by their mothers. It's our job!
Thanks for coming.
It's been fantastic.
We're gonna make it!
(CHATTER)
- Rose.
- Hello, Richard.
What are you doing here?
I thought you'd be happy to see me.
Everyone else is gone.
I've decided to sell.
Richard!
- So, who's this?
- Hi, I'm Rose.
Well, it's a pleasure.
Diana, Rose is an old
school chum of mine.
I was just in the area
and heard the news.
I wanted to congratulate you in person.
(LAUGHS) Well, the polls
aren't closed yet
so let's not jinx it.
But thank you, yes.
Don't just stand there, Richard.
Get Rose a drink.
Be right back.
Champagne, right?
Rose, were you and Richard
a thing back in school?
(SCOFFS)
That was a long time ago.
Well, never say never.
Someone's gotta lock him down one day.
- (LAUGHS)
-
Oh, I need to take this call.
- Excuse me. He'll be right back.
- OK.
Rose, are you gonna keep letting them
push you around?
We have to go to the FBI.
He'll kill us if you don't.
You look lovely.
You always were half crazy.
How?
I just want this to be over
and then I need to disappear.
Maybe I should come with you.
You don't have to pretend
like you care about me, Richard.
Why do you think I'm pretending?
You were never against me.
They left you no choice, I get that.
They pushed you into it.
It's good to see you.
Come here.
Just gotta check
you're not wearing a wire.
But you wouldn't do that to me,
would you?
She gets in trouble,
we'll move in, don't worry.
You used to trust me.
Yeah, I guess I did.
What is this?
Jordan wanted me to go
to the FBI but I couldn't do it.
And then Conor died.
You wouldn't turn on me?
I understand
why you might've killed the others.
All that money.
But why crash the train?
Have you seen the price
of URSA's stock lately?
After that tragic train crash,
it really took a nose dive.
And since the death
of the almighty Jordan Cole,
it's down again.
I'm gonna buy a controlling stake
and I'm gonna buy it for peanuts.
And it'll be mine.
Money I make from the patent
will fuel generations.
Does that make sense?
Alright, let's go.
Sign this and it'll all be over.
Everybody, don't move!
What the hell is going on?
- What are you doing here?
- We're here for your son.
You bitch.
Don't move!
Hands in the air.
Step away, Rose.
Well, it's the brilliant
foreign investigator
using a mentally deranged woman
to trap me.
I think an American
would've caught me faster.
I'm sure you do.
Who was working with you?
We know you couldn't have
co-ordinated this on your own.
Richard, don't say another word.
Who was working with you?
I think my mother's probably right.
- How are you?
- Yeah, good.
Rose, the police may question you
about your part in your brother's death.
And I'll tell the truth.
Richard told me he wanted to meet Conor
to discuss a new deal.
I never should've helped Richard.
Even though I had no idea
what he planned to do.
Your co-operation today
should help with your case.
Seeing Richard go to prison
will bring closure
for some of the families.
I'll figure out where to go from there.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Excuse me, Rose, the car
for the airport's waiting.
- Take care.
- Thanks.
Any luck finding that second man?
- Nope.
- Well, you'll get him.
I'll try.
Dom, thanks for coming to help.
Listen
the other night outside the motel.
I wasn't, erm, I wasn't sure
Max was hiding in my room.
Ah, well.
It was not like that.
- I told him you could help.
- Of course, always.
See you on the other side of the pond.
See ya.
What's up?
Bright is lawyered to the hilt.
He won't talk
and won't name our second man.
But one man might.
- How are you feeling?
- Erm, yeah.
To tell the truth, I'm surprised
they discharged you.
I just pulled the tubes
and walked. I hate hospitals.
Look
I know we had our differences
and I might've said
some things that were
out of line but
I didn't know what Richard Bright
was gonna do with that ad and I'm sorry.
It's OK.
You're here about Brick.
(SIGHS)
They screwed you when they let you go.
Me and about a thousand other guys.
You're a veteran,
you fought for this country.
Not for this country, brother.
The one it used to be,
that was the country.
Exactly.
You know, if people,
people just lost trust in that train.
Mm-hmm.
The train crashed
That computer would let the train crash.
The computer can't control everything.
Real humans still got one job.
What's that?
He got stuff out of me
that I shouldn't
have been talking about.
Opposable thumbs.
Still need opposable thumbs
for the brakes.
(LAUGHS)
The train takes off
with the brake lever closed,
there's nothing the computer
can do about that.
Man, I gotta see a man about a dog.
- And the tanker at the crossing?
- No, no.
It must have been his idea.
I've got a target.
It all boils down to the truck on the crossing,
and who knew what.
The driver that was shot
and his tanker left on the rails
was a cover up for
the brakes being tampered with.
The man's daughter committed
suicide at that crossing
so no one would question a suicide
or think that he'd been shot beforehand.
Which makes it unlikely that
Richard Bright or Tyler Brick
would've known the story
of the daughter's death.
So, our second man is local?
How can it be when the gun when
the gun used to shoot the driver
is linked to the cartel?
Well, what if it isn't?
You know, it might be a couple hours
before he gets here, right?
(VEHICLE APPROACHES)
Is that him?
Lucas thought you were his grandpa.
He's coming to get him today.
Well, sorry to disappoint, it's just me
and my cruiser's in the shop
as it got all shot up.
Charlotte, Lucas' grandpa's on the phone
and wants to talk to you.
His car broke down. He's safe
but he's gonna be a bit longer.
Uh, OK. Can you watch him for a sec?
Sure thing.
What are you looking at?
You like pick-up trucks?
It was you. It was you.
Hey, listen, pal.
You heard what the man said, right?
About your grandpa being late.
I think you and me
should get in my pick-up truck
and go find him
because you don't want him leaving
without you, do you? Huh?
Right, pal?
Let's go.
Lucas, come back here!
Thank you.
Apparently the gun that killed
Mack wasn't linked to the cartel.
It was bought at a gun show in Detroit
just like the one I found on Brick.
Both guns were reported stolen
from a store in New Mexico.
- Both are cartel?
- Little doubt about it.
My money's on the cartel hitman.
He's your second man.
- He lied.
- The son of a bitch!
Lucas!
Hey, Sheriff!
Lucas?!
He left work an hour ago,
he's on his way here.
- Kendra!
- Yeah.
Have you seen Lucas?
I left him with the sheriff, now
they're gone.
What?
Lucas! I just want to talk to you.
(PHONE RINGS)
Lucas!
(PHONE RINGS)
Come on!
(PHONE RINGS)
No, he's not picking up.
You can't run, pal!
That was your grandpa
on the phone, Lucas!
He wants me to take you to him.
There must be a way to track them.
Walkie-talkies. Walkie-talkies.
- The sheriff probably has one.
- Yes.
- Charlotte, get the RDF.
- Erm.
I just wanna talk, pal.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
- Have you got the police?
- I'm sending it.
OK, come on.
OK, OK.
Here it is.
I'm picking up 2 signals. One
on Main Street and the other is
Crash site.
Lucas!
Lucas.
I know you're in here so just come out.
I just wanna take you to your grandpa.
I don't want you to get in trouble.
I can hear you!
You don't want
to get into trouble, do you?
Lucas!
I'm getting kinda sick of this, buddy.
Both of you, right there!
KENDRA: I won't let you hurt him.
I don't think you have a choice.
This is pointless.
The FBI know everything.
Just let him go.
I think we both know I can't do that.
- Please.
- You trying to boss me around?
You're not my boss Ms. Malley
and I'm getting sick of it.
HUNTER: Drop your weapon!
Hands in the air!
You wanna go down
in a blaze of glory, Sheriff?
Come on, try me.
That's how you protect and serve?
How much did Bright pay you?
- It wasn't about money.
- No?
What was it about then?
You like living in this world
with machines, automation,
computers, robots taking jobs?
You know, ten million truckers
are gonna be out of work?
Ten million families going
hungry because of Jordan Cole
wants to make
a few more billion dollars?
I don't know where you're from
but that's not
an America I wanna live in.
That's how Bright sold you the idea?
That killing all these innocent
people was for a noble cause?
Hm?
Something like that.
HUNTER: You have the right
to remain silent.
It's OK.
It is with a heavy heart
that I tender my resignation
as governor-elect of this
great state.
But after much deliberation
and consulting with family
and friends, I have decided
that it is best that I step down.
REPORTER: Is your son guilty?
My son is my son
no matter what and I need
to be by his side now.
But I am
I am so sorry
for the pain and the loss.
- Hi!
- Be right there.
Sure.
One Dinty Moore to go.
Told you you'd like em.
- Thank you.
- No.
This town will never forget.
Mary.
I went to the train station,
and they said you'd gone.
I wanted to thank you
for telling the truth about Walt.
Knowing he didn't do that
to all those people.
And he didn't take his own life.
Thank you.
You will find a way to move on,
Mary, in time.
We all do.
So, two weeks off.
What are you gonna do?
Well, I'm thinking
of doing some research
on automated flight technology.
Yeah, way to the future.
You know how to live.
Yeah. Um, what are you doing?
I'm going to stay
at my aunt's shack on the beach
and eat potato chips for 2 weeks.
Really?
I'm kidding.
- Oh.
- You think I'd take time off?
I'm gonna be researching.
I have so much to learn.
Uh, well, and no pressure
but if you wanted,
erm, maybe we could
meet up and share notes.
Like study buddies?
Yeah.
I think you're moving too fast.
You have my number.
So, I just got off the phone
with the attorney general
and I told them it was
a team effort with the FTSA.
- That's very generous of you.
- No, that's an understatement.
Expect a call from
the secretary of transportation.
- I think he'll offer you a job.
- He just did.
And?
And I'm considering
but I also told him
I want you on my team.
Seriously?
Seriously! I think you'd make
a great addition, Ellen.
Huh.
Well, you are full of surprises,
Ms. Malley.
Look, I'll see you in Washington.
- Maybe.
- Thanks, Ellen.
- Uh, Kendra.
- Yes?
- He's here.
- OK.
Lucas.
Hey. It's time to go.
Lucas!
It's OK.
Will I see you again?
Absolutely.
And you take care of yourself, alright?
Stay strong.
Bye.
Grandpa!
Thank you.
Bye Theo, bye Charlotte, bye Kendra.
Bye, bye!
(ENGINE STARTS)
That's it, we're all packed.
When are you coming to the office?
Does everyone know
I've been offered a job?
- Uh, pretty sure.
- Everyone I know anyway.
OK, well then I'll tell you
when I've decided.
Gonna take a couple weeks off
to think things through.
For sure.
You'll like the office. It's big!
(ENGINE STARTS)
You'll like Director Irwin.
Why is that?
He's analytical. Asks lots of questions.
Much like you do.
Well, wait a minute. Did you
Get you the job? No, no.
You earned this.
Howard
When you called before,
why didn't you mention your illness?
Well, when you're close to the end,
the things you thought were important
turn out to not be important
in the least.
In the end, all that matters
are the people that you cared for.
And the lives you affected.
Kendra
you were the closest
to a family
I ever had.
And I betrayed your trust.
Thank you.
You know, Howard,
you'll always be a part of me.
If I'm any good at what I do,
it's, it's thanks to you
and for that I'll always be grateful.
Yes.
Goodbye, Howard.
Bye, soldier.
