Departure (2019) s03e05 Episode Script

Shot Across The Bow

Previously on Departure
I didn't touch him!
(GROANS)
- (GROANS)
- No! Gregg, put it down!
You couldn't scare me
off with your fixer.
So, what? Thought
you'd bribe me instead.
Add a zero. Then double your figure,
then maybe we could talk.
It's your brother.
There's footage on the internet.
I'm sorry. He's still below.
There's room for one more.
My brother died a hero.
Whole ship felt like she
was going to rip apart.
That's why I went to the control room.
To see if any alarms had triggered.
Big bang!
Witnesses say that they
saw you on the car deck.
What's that?
Oh my God. It's a scuba diver.
What the hell is he doing out here?
(SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE)
Arlo's been arrested prematurely.
Why didn't you wait for my report?
Orders came from above.
- Above?
- Above, like Ottawa above.
(SIGHS) Look, I need to speak to Arlo.
Not going to happen. He's
still being processed.
- Still?
- You promised me!
You promised me he wouldn't be
arrested without solid evidence,
so why is he locked up in jail?
Can we talk to you about it?
They wouldn't let me speak to Arlo.
Cole, we have to do that dive.
We need to recover the hard drive
from the stabilizer control panel
to prove whether Arlo manipulated them.
It's not going to happen.
What do you mean?
The footage from the ferry went viral.
The American public is outraged.
The White House is feeling the pressure.
They've put up a two-mile
no-go zone around the ferry.
Ottawa's agreed.
Yeah, but that's not going to affect us.
There's no exception for the
investigation. It's absolute bollocks.
Tomorrow morning, they're sending
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles,
motion detectors, to
make sure no one dives
until every victim's been
brought up and sent home.
Well, how long will it
take to recover the bodies?
Weeks? Months, maybe.
Till then, no one goes near the wreck.
I'm sorry.
We can't wait weeks!
(PHONE VIBRATES)
It's Terri-Lynn. Annie and
Jessica have found something.
Come quick, let's go!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You found another body?
Yeah. This one's all
dolled up in scuba gear.
Thought you might want
to have a look before
they take him to the morgue.
Think it's one of the
creeps that shot that video?
No, looks like he's been in
the water longer than that.
Can't imagine him being one of the crew.
There would have been no time after
the Mayday to put all this gear on.
Let's see if we can get the coroner
to match his dental records
to any of those sent in
by the ferry victims.
What's all this stuff on him?
Can't identify half of it.
Let's ask Theo to take a look at it.
But what about the rig?
It's a two-tank wing
BCD for deep diving.
I don't know, but do you
think maybe it does look
a little bit like wings?
You know, like the girl Jada said.
The angel saved me.
Angel coming from below the water.
In the dark? Yeah, it could be.
(SOFT MUSIC)
They found the diver.
- How'd this happen?
- There was always a possibility
they'd find him before we did.
But there's no way the FTSA
can link him back to us.
They better not. You
know the consequences.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(GENTLE POP SONG PLAYING)
- How you doin', mate?
- All right.
Keep it close, would you?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Looks like you've made good
use of your newfound wealth.
Hm.
Now tell me why we're
meeting again so soon.
I brought you a present.
It's the draft report
I'm sending to the FTSA
and Kendra. Says the steel
used to repair the Queen
is totally up to grade.
I had some tests run to
back it up it's all there.
Seems pretty comprehensive.
She knows about the shipyard in Turkey.
And that you're turning off GPS systems
to hide substandard repairs.
And that you're selling
these vessels to the Third World.
Do you know what you're saying?
If she went public
with that information
Zelmer goes down, obviously.
You see, it's one thing
to be held responsible
for the sinking of the Queen.
Truthfully, your company
could probably survive that.
But what about the ships
Zelmer sold that went down
and no one noticed?
Hm? You should not have
sold the Queen to America.
That was your mistake.
Okay.
What do you suggest?
Well, I can be your safety net, Linda.
See, the reality is you need me.
How?
Give her what she needs.
Original documents from
the repairs in Turkey
doctored by me, of course.
(CHUCKLES)
Apologize for the clerical errors
and the omission in
the official reports.
Meanwhile,
you need to cover your ass.
Quickly.
You're saying I need
to shut down Turkey.
And cover your paper trail.
Kendra's all about evidence.
And she's not going to make a
public accusation without it.
You're sure about this?
Hundred per cent.
She wants to take you down.
But she's not going
to do it without proof.
Get me those reports.
The real ones, yeah?
And leave the rest to me.
I can't keep her in the dark forever.
You won't have to.
Lunch is on you.
Jada? How are you doing?
I wanted to talk to you about
the angel who rescued you.
You think I'm crazy, too?
No. No, I don't.
I think what happened to
you could be very important
for the investigation.
I wanted to show you something,
- but I have to warn you
- It's okay.
Could this be who saved you?
A diver?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Yeah.
And he's dead?
I'm afraid so.
What was he doing out there?
We don't know. We're
still trying to find out.
If he saved me, why
didn't he save himself?
I don't know, Jada.
It's all right.
Is he dead because of me?
He saved you. That's all
you really need to know now.
- (PHONE RINGING)
- Yeah?
Kendra Malley. She knows
about the GPS on the ships.
Which means she knows
it's not just the Queen.
We need to make sure that she can't find
any corroborating evidence.
Are you sure you want to do that?
I hired you to fix a problem.
There is no bigger problem than this.
Meet me at the yards.
Alright.
(REPORTER): As the
FTSAninvestigates potential theories
surrounding the ferry's sinking,
an illegal video of rope
divers at the site has enraged
victims' families and relatives,
some of whom are still awaiting
identification of their loved ones.
Shipping venture fund Zelmer Capital
was in talks with Australia
for the acquisition
of three new ships, but this tragedy
has now put this on hold.
Company VP Linda Halley
has refused to comment.
She hasn't been there all night?
Okay. Thank you.
What?
What is it?
Um, Lily hasn't visited
Tyler since yesterday.
Do you think she took off on him?
No. No, no, those two
are devoted to each other.
It's actually really sweet to see.
Young love, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, the world needs
more of it, you know?
With all this craziness going on.
You're a bit of a
hopeless romantic, huh?
Yeah, my ex-girlfriend used to say that.
Well, before she left me
for her physiotherapist.
Oh! Oh, I'm sorry. That
must have been terrible.
No, it's okay. We all
go through it, right?
Some more than others.
- Detective.
- Detective.
Uh, is something wrong?
I've had a request from
Customs and Immigration.
They want me to bring in Lily.
I hate to have to ask,
but do you know where she's staying?
Uh, no. I don't.
All right. I'll have to
go check the shelters.
Oh, no, don't waste your
time. I have already.
Okay. Well, if you do hear from her,
get her some help, right?
Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
Sure.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGING)
Sorry, Kendra.
(SIGHS) Where the hell are you, Ziggy?
Ziggy, it's Kendra.
Can you call me back?
(♪)
What are you up to?
Dom.
Hey. Just wanted to let you know.
The diver's dentals didn't
match with any of the records
from the missing passengers.
Whoever he is, Jada
ID'd him as her saviour.
Did you manage to
touch base with Urgessa?
- Yes, I did.
- Right. See if he can
- run prints and facial analysis.
- Yeah, he's on it.
Hey, did you get the results
from Ziggy on that steel?
No. I can't seem to get hold of him.
Puts a rush on the results
and then doesn't send them?
- What's the delay, I wonder?
- Do me a favour,
can you call up the lab,
see what the hold up is?
- Will do.
- Right. Thanks.
Hey!
Hey.
You were out here all
night, weren't you?
I couldn't take Solo into the hospital,
and I couldn't leave
him tied up, either.
Don't you have someone you can call?
They'll throw me back into a shelter.
Come on!
Get in.
Just
Really nothing?
All right, thanks.
- Mystery solved.
- What's up?
Well, the fingerprints
of the diver match a man
named Warren Hamm. Maine resident.
American?
What was he doing off
the coast of Newfoundland?
Ah, he rented a boat in Nova Scotia.
Must have gotten caught
in the same storm.
His wife reported him
missing the next day.
Nova Scotia's hundreds of miles away.
Maybe his body drifted?
That would make sense, except
for he was there, alive,
the night the ferry went
down. He rescued a passenger.
Look, you send me that, all right?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
Hey, Theo. Have you managed to identify
any of the diver's equipment yet?
I haven't figured it all out yet,
but this appears to be some
sort of solid state laser.
Ah, Kendra! You should
come take a look at this.
Our diver had a handheld laser.
What would he be doing with this?
I don't know. But this is
not standard scuba gear.
So, what've we got?
A scuba diver was found
and a witness puts him
at the scene the night the ferry sank.
You think this diver's connected
to the ferry? Do we know who he is?
Name's Warren Hamm.
He's an American recreational diver.
But what recreational diver
carries gear like this?
Portable industrial
lasers are mostly used
for cutting through heavy materials.
Heavy materials as
in the hull of a ship?
It's definitely possible.
Any progress with getting
that dive approved?
Not even a little. It's
all about optics now,
- respecting the dead.
- Bloody politics.
Finding out what killed them,
that would be respecting the dead.
I agree, but it's not my decision.
Look, maybe if we found
more about this stuff,
it would give you some leverage.
It's not going to be easy to
change minds at the Pentagon.
(SIGHS)
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(♪)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Is your room all right?
Yeah. It's great. It's cozy.
I used to rent it out.
Might again one day.
Um, the dog's okay in the yard.
Arlo set it all up for him out there.
Gets along better with
pets than people most times.
Do you know what's
going to happen to him?
He's just talked himself
into a corner, like he does.
Arlo never did anything.
You know that, right?
Of course. Yeah.
That's the truth.
Would you mind if I left
Solo with you for a while?
I want to go visit
Tyler at the hospital.
Sure. What do the doctors
say? Will he be all right?
I just have to wait and see.
Well, pick up a few things for
us on your way back, will you?
I have a list right here
and there's some money
in the piano bench there.
Oh. Do you know if this cell
phone works? Maybe I can use it?
No, that No, that
hasn't worked for ages.
I lost mine in the ferry
and the hospital can't call.
Just give them my number.
They can call here.
Thank you.
- Drop these in the kitchen?
- Mm-hmm.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
Hi there. My name is Dominic Hayes.
I'm calling from the FTSA.
I'm calling to follow up
on a boat that you rented last
week to an American tourist
named Warren Hamm.
Yes, the boat's name is Mist Weaver 671.
Thank you.
Yes, that's what it said
on the police report.
You sure?
Thank you for your time.
- Hey, Michelle?
- Yeah?
Could you get me a list of contacts
for this diver, Warren Hamm? Two "m" s.
Warren Hamm, two "m"
s. Yeah. Right away.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(SIREN IN THE DISTANCE)
(SEAGULLS CAWING)
Theo's model clearly shows
the ship could have gone down
with the stabilizers
not working properly
and the car bay doors
open at the same time.
- Right.
- It also shows the stabilizers
could have punctured the
hull, which would account
for the loud bang the witnesses heard
and the water coming up from below.
Right.
And since the control
panel key was found
in Arlo Shank's possession
I see where you're going with this.
And what does the diver
have to do with any of it?
Clearly, that points to Shank.
Okay, I just got off the phone
with the marina manager
where our diver's boat
reportedly disembarked from.
Turns out there's no record of
any such boat ever being there.
What about his wife? She's the
one who reported him missing.
No, I couldn't locate her.
But I did speak to his mother in Maine.
What did she say?
She said that her son
died in a car crash
25 years ago at the age of 14.
I'm sorry. You're saying
that our diver's identity
was stolen from a dead kid?
It's common practice
with mercenaries for hire.
Combine that with the
unusual gear he had.
What are you thinking?
Garrison was suing Zelmer, right?
And we know now that in all likelihood,
Zelmer has hundreds of ships on
the water that are unseaworthy.
So you're wondering how
far a hedge fund would go
to cover up such a fraud.
If Garrison kept pushing
and the Queen of the Narrows
ended up going into dry-dock
for a thorough inspection
It would start up an investigation
that would uncover everything
that Zelmer was hiding.
So they hired a guy to sink their lemon?
They did put a tail on Ziggy
- as soon as he showed up.
- (PHONE RINGS)
God knows what else they're doing.
- Oh, God.
- Thanks.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
- What is it?
- I put a call in to London
to see if I could get a
copy of Ziggy's report.
And?
He never ordered one.
What?
He never ordered one.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGS)
- Hello?
- Where the hell have you been?
I'm kind of in the middle of something.
Why the hell did you lie to me
about having that steel tested?
I had to. I needed to
earn Zelmer's trust.
All right, so did you
actually get the steel tested?
- Of course.
- And?
And it's rubbish.
Okay. Great.
By the way, I kind of accepted a bribe.
A big one. And I'm
currently committing a break and enter.
You know that ship the
Zelmer assistant tipped me to?
- The Lyon?
- Yeah. It ran aground and was scrapped.
Yeah, but that last little bit
seems to be the lie of the century.
What do you mean? That
is wasn't scrapped?
Turns out Zelmer took that
seriously damaged ship,
patched it up with some
cheap steel and resold it.
Listen, you'll be
getting some photos soon.
Could be a pattern of evidence here.
You just break every rule
in the book, don't you, Zigs?
Who cares? As long as
we nail the bastards.
Look, I'm sorry. I should've
been straight with you before.
But the Zelmer lady was
listening and I wanted
to make sure I could convince
her that we were on her side.
Ziggy! I get it.
(CHUCKLES)
Just like old times.
Yeah, I miss those times.
(METAL CLANGING)
Oh, shit!
Ziggy?
(PANTING)
The bastard locked me in.
(BEEPING)
Ziggy?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(BEEPING CONTINUES)
Oh, come on, come on, come on
(INDISTINCT)
Ziggy?
(BEEPING ACCELERATES)
(SCREAMS)
Ziggy?
Yeah. All right. I'll try calling again.
- Ciao, now.
- Did they find anything?
There's no signal from Ziggy's mobile.
We're trying to retrace
his earlier pings.
He's always got to push it too far.
Kendra.
Yeah?
Ziggy was definitely onto something.
These are photographs of the Lyon.
In dry dock after it ran aground.
Right. Now check this out.
Lyon on the left, Queen of
the Narrows on the right.
You seeing what I'm seeing?
Yeah. They're both similar.
Pretty much exactly. Yeah.
What if they're not just similar?
What if they're the exact same ship?
We bought the Queen of the Narrows
from a refurbishing
company out of the UK.
Then we are talking
about a massive fraud.
Right. So, Zelmer
hires a diver to go down
and plant a bomb on the hull.
It adds up. You know, we didn't find
any physical evidence of an explosion
The wreck could be resting on
the damage, hiding it from view.
Right.
Did you hear anything?
They traced Ziggy's
phone to a container yard
in the dock yards.
There was an explosion.
Ziggy was trapped inside.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm so sorry, Kendra.
It was Zelmer that got
him killed, it wasn't you.
Just
Leave me alone, please.
What if they're not just similar?
What if they're the exact same ship?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I got you five minutes. Best I could do.
Thank you.
Arlo. I
Ask you a few questions.
Oh, yeah. That's the Queen.
I'd know her anywhere.
What's this?
What do you think?
Hm. Must be the Queen's
sister ship or something.
What happened to her?
She ran aground.
Arlo, you remember that
you said that the hull
of the Queen, it didn't sound right.
Do you think that could
be from subgrade steel?
You think these are the same ship?
You think Garrison passed
a junker off as the Queen?
Uh, not Garrison, but the company
that they bought them from.
Look, Arlo, if these
are the same vessels,
then we need to prove it.
These right here.
See these striations on the propeller?
It's a signature, like a thumbprint.
You're saying that this same propeller
could prove the Queen is also the Lyon?
Mm-hmm. You never get
the same striations twice.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
Thank you.
You really don't think
Garrison was to blame for this?
No. I think they did everything
they could to keep that ship afloat.
Just sit tight, okay?
(SIGHS)
You're saying that if
we could get down there,
take a shot of these
markings on the propeller
We'd have irrefutable proof
that the Queen of the Narrows
is the Lyon.
Then I'll dive tonight.
Absolutely not.
We'll convince the Navy.
Banks said that he tried
every avenue and failed.
It's too dangerous.
Well, sometimes you gotta
cross the line, right?
I'm sorry.
Look, I just lost Ziggy, okay?
Please don't ask me to risk losing you.
You're not going to lose me.
What if I send down a drone?
Banks is going to put
those motion detectors
in place tomorrow morning.
If we don't go tonight, we're
not going to get another chance.
Well, why don't we speak to Banks?
I mean, he needs answers
just as much as we do.
I can't ask him to go
against a direct order.
It's just a drone.
(SIGHS)
Okay. But we're going to need some help.
You okay?
You don't think that Arlo
Shank was involved, do you?
No, I don't think so.
Some new evidence has come
to light regarding the state
of the ferry before
Zelmer sold it to Garrison.
Zelmer may be trying to hide something.
- By sinking the Queen of the Narrows?
- Yes.
That diver we found. Do
you think he was involved?
Possibly.
Obviously, you'd be breaking the law
and taking on an enormous risk.
It's entirely your decision, Annie.
What decision?
Whoever killed my brother has to pay.
When do we leave?
I just can't give you any more details,
because I'm not in touch
with her at the moment.
But in general, do you think
this is the kind of case
you might be able to take pro-bono?
Okay. I understand.
Yeah, I'll get her to
give you a call when I can.
(SIGHS)
Hey.
Oh, uh I'm sorry about Ziggy.
Me, too.
So, was that an
immigration lawyer, again?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can get
one of them to take Lily's case.
You still can't find
out where she is, huh?
No.
You're a really good person, Michelle.
Oh, I'm just doing my job.
No. I mean, you're making a difference.
- Here. You want one of these?
- What is it?
Ah, some kind of local
candy. A delicacy.
I have not tried them yet.
- To Ziggy.
- To Ziggy.
Oh, God. What's that?
(INDISTINCT)
It's like mud. Like really strong mud.
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- Here.
- That's the drone?
- Yeah. I'll clear the lines.
- Thanks.
Can you do something for me?
- Yeah. Sure.
- Yeah, you see that rigging
- that's come loose back there?
- Yeah. On it.
Where'd you learn to do that?
Uh summer job as a kid.
Crewing on a tall ship?
No. Drag netting for
whitefish out of Portland.
I had you figured as posh.
Sorry to disappoint.
I'm more of an old salt at heart.
Huh.
You should let it show more.
Yeah, you know, you
might be right about that.
- Hey.
- Captain, hey.
You wouldn't happen to know
where Kendra and Dom are?
After a day like this, I
thought we could all use a drink.
Yeah, no, sorry. We're
just closing up shop here.
Hm. Okay. Good night.
Night.
- Radar's clear. No traffic.
- Copy that.
- Dom, please be careful.
- Yeah. Thanks.
It's really nice for him
that his boss cares so much.
Mine was a lying, drug dealing, slumbag
and I thought he walked on water.
And I had a boss that I worshipped.
And he betrayed me, but I
still loved him to the end.
Life's complicated.
We've got the boat tethered.
Well, if the coordinates are right,
she should be right below us.
Well, I turned off
the A.I.S. transceiver.
Should remain undetected
for the time being.
Don't know how long
that'll last, though.
I'll be as quick as I can.
Kendra, are you reading this?
We see it.
Are we still alone?
There's nothing heading your way.
I'm monitoring the Coast Guard radio.
I'll let you know if
they send out patrols.
Terri-Lynn will take a
strip out of all of us
if she catches us out here.
It's not the Coast
Guard I'm worried about.
Dropping the drone.
Let's see if we can get a
clear shot of that propeller.
It'll take a few minutes
for the drone to hit depth.
What's the range on this thing?
There's 100 metres of
cable, should be enough,
but I don't know where this
interference is coming from.
You're clear for now.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
Spent my whole life on the water.
Never been down under it, though.
It's a whole other world down there.
Dom, what was that?
The ocean floor.
There.
Got it.
She looks at peace down there.
It's hard to imagine
the Queen down there.
Dom, you've got to get
to the propeller quickly.
Copy that. Heading there now.
Kendra?
Dom, you've got company. It's
coming from the northeast.
- They've spotted us.
- All right. Let's stall them.
Guys, get out now.
I just need two minutes
to get to that propeller.
Here they come.
- Hey there.
- (HORN HONKS)
Got what you need yet?
Damn it! No! Just stall them.
(OVER MEGAPHONE): Identify
yourself immediately.
Can I help you?
You are in restricted waters.
I didn't see any signs.
Truth is I'm just out here
saying some prayers.
I'll be moving on in a moment or two.
There! There it is.
- Got a good shot of it.
- That's great. Now get out of there!
We've got to get the drone up!
We can't leave any evidence behind.
We demand your licence number and name.
You have no authority
to be in these waters.
Is that right? You know,
'cause my family fished these
waters for four generations.
I saw that gives me full authority.
Ma'am, the United States
government announced this area
to be closed to the general public.
Wait. Wait, what's that?
Come on.
How could there be a hole?
Right across the port side?
I don't know.
Trying to get a better shot.
I repeat: you are in a restricted area.
Start your engine now.
Bloody cable must be compromised.
If you don't leave the restricted area,
you will be boarded and
your vessel will be seized.
Says who? Under what authority?
Who are these people? If it was Navy,
they would have identified
themselves immediately.
I have no idea.
I've almost got it!
This is your final warning.
Leave now!
Dom? Dom? What was that?
Shot across the bow.
Literally. We gotta go.
- Almost got it!
- Releasing the tether.
Damn it. Come on!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Come on! God, damn it!
Dom?
Dom?
I'm here.
- (SIGHS)
- Did you get it?
No. Cable broke and we lost the drone.
The steel was definitely caved inward.
The force must have come
from outside of the ship.
As if a diver planted a bomb
on the outside of a hull
and sank the ship?
You really think Zelmer
would go that far?
Kill 300 people to cover their tracks?
He doesn't have control
over the situation.
Manning! I got your
message. What's going on?
My guys just told me there was
a boat out at the ferry site
a couple of hours ago, Indigenous woman.
Took some convincing
to get her to move on.
Annie Sullivan. A local
fisher. She's not a threat.
You sure about that? 'Cause I believe
we have a couple of threats right now.
