KENDRA:Previously on Departure.
The fully automated Apollo
is designed to get you and the world where we need to
faster, safer using state of the art automation.
-Where are we going? -It's a surprise, OK?
(PHONE RINGS)
Is it him?
As governor, I'm goin' back to puttin' people first.
But you're down in the polls with just days to go.
Days are all you need in politics.
Ease up, Apollo, you're headed for the big curve.
The brakes aren't responding.
(EXCLAIMS NERVOUSLY)
(SCREAMS)
Mr. Cole, Kendra Malley. I'm the lead crash investigator.
Your fugitive is part of a Mexican cartel.
That's classified. Your crash is my crime scene.
-How many? -Early reports are 60 dead.
Know what they'll say? They'll say
she's making political gains on the back of tragedy,
People will celebrate this
but URSA will not be stopped.
Target's on the run. Assumed he's armed.
I want road blocks on a 15 mile radius.
I need a ride out of town.
Were you on the train?
I-I saw the wreckage.
Must have been horrible.
I've seen horrible...
..this was worse.
I'm Kendra. Your name is?
Bob.
So uh, where am I taking you, Bob?
Chicago.
Kendra?
(SIRENS BLARE IN DISTANCE)
We have to get past this checkpoint.
And if we don't?
OK.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Hello, officer.
I need you to step out of the vehicle.
Erm, is there a problem?
Don't make me ask you again.
Unlock your door and step out of the vehicle.
Erm.
Kendra Malley, FTSA.
Call Special Agent Hunter to verify.
At the next checkpoint
I suggest you display this right off bat.
Thank you, I will. Have a good day.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Has anyone seen Kendra? Her car's gone from the motel,
I've tried calling her, I can't get through.
Maybe she's at the crash site?
What are you, some kind of fed? You know who I am?
Look, I don't know. I'm just here to investigate
the accident, OK? I'm not here to investigate you.
The crash was no accident.
What do you mean by that?
(PHONE RINGS)
Ah, ah, ah. Don't answer that.
Just keep driving.
(PHONE CONTINUES TO RING)
I'm supposed to be at a briefing now.
Hmm, you're just gonna keep driving.
W-what are you doing?
You won't get past the next road blocks.
You have a badge.
Yeah, I didn't answer my phone nor was I at my briefing
so soon there's going to be an APB out for me and this vehicle.
-Damn it. -Your best chance is by foot.
(GRUNTS)
There was a boy and his mother on the train.
Boy's name was Lucas.
Is he OK?
-Yeah, he's doing well. -His mother?
She's still missing.
Give this to him for me, please.
Hey, Bob!
Why did you say the crash was no accident?
The FBI put me on that train.
Someone in the FBI
has been paid off by Carlos Ortega.
(OFFICE CHATTER)
-I just met your fugitive. -Where?
-He's off the main highway. -Hit it! Let's go!
-(CLEARS THROAT) -What'd he say to you?
He said that Carlos Ortega may have crashed the train.
Does that name ring any bells?
It might.
Did he tell you anything else?
He implied the FBI may have set him up.
They had a man on the train.
Who else had the information?
How many ways must I tell you
I'm not going to tell you?
So, what else did he say?
Do I need to remind you
it's a federal offense to lie to an FBI agent?
He's trying to get to Chicago.
Chicago?
You sound surprised.
Thanks for your cooperation, Ms. Malley.
You're welcome, Ms. Hunter.
(SCOFFS)
-New phone ready to go. -Cheers.
-You good? -Great.
Someone at URSA called, Jordan Cole's company.
They want a list of the victims.
Yeah, Cole said he wanted one too.
Tell them that we need to contact next of kin first
but see if you can spot anyone with a connection to Cole
-who might've been on the train. -OK.
-Theo. -Yeah?
Why don't you go to the crash site, try to find out
what happened to the brakes and I'll meet you there later.
Where are you going?
To try and find a way past a roadblock.
Nothing gets to her, huh?
Don't let the British accent fool you.
Hey.
It's OK. Lucas, a man asked me to give you this.
My car. Gramps gave it to me.
What you got there? V8 or V6?
V8? Oh wow!
Mom!
Come with me now. Let's go!
-The car! -What?
-My car! -Ah! Damn it!
Max gave it to me.
The man's name is Max?
(PHONE RINGS)
Dom, what a pleasant surprise.
Well I thought I'd call,
make sure you're alright.
Theo called you, didn't he?
Such a mother hen.
You were abducted at gunpoint, Kendra.
-It's not as bad as it sounds. -
-Howard called me last night. -
Forgiveness.
You're free of him, stay that way.
Look, Dom er,
I could use help with something.
Yeah anything, what do you need?
Anything you can find on a Max
connected to the Mataluna cartel
and erm, a Carlos Ortega.
This Max wouldn't be the same guy who car jacked you?
He seems to be convinced that the crash wasn't an accident
and the FBI, Dom, keep shutting me out.
I'll see what I can do.
I've gotta go, thanks.
Any time.
-Hey. -(BABY WHIMPERS)
-He's beautiful. -He looks just like his father.
Lisa's mom is coming to get us today.
We're all heading back to Toronto.
It's strange leaving without them.
Sorry for your loss.
Good luck.
Vivienne, tell her.
It's probably nothing but I thought I saw someone
outside the train when we stopped.
-The emergency stop? -Mmhmm.
This is the train operator. Was it him?
Erm, I think it was a white guy.
But I didn't see him very clearly.
OK, well thanks anyway, yeah?
Theo's still at the crash site but the guy from train
operations just showed up to continue the interview.
-Thanks. -Good luck.
I appreciate you coming in again, Mr. Ratch.
I just have a few more questions.
I didn't have a choice. Union said it was mandatory.
Do you know the max speed allowance
between mile post 79 and the steep curve?
Sure I do. They increased the speed last year
to accomodate the Apollo.
That's not an answer, Mr. Ratch.
It's 120 on the straight away leading up to the curve.
Yet according to the information we got from the black boxes,
the train was travelling at 140mph.
Do you know why that was?
No? Well, would this jog your memory?
(TRAIN OPERATOR) Apollo let's roll. You ready?
This is 278, what's going on out there?
Do we need to keep asking what the hell is going on?
RATCH:Brakes reset, 90psi on the tail.
OPERATOR:Speed up, you've got the 278 coming your way.
RATCH:Apollo on the move.
You told the train operator to increase speed.
After which he overrode the computer
and the Apollo increased its speed to 140mph.
Apollo isn't the only train on that line, 278 was behind us.
You could've asked that train to slow down.
You think I should've asked the 278 to slow down?
-You think my boss wants that? -Well, regulations--
Regulations? You're pinning this on me?
I'm not trying to pin this on anyone.
I had no choice!
It was bend the rules or lose my job.
How do you think this 'just in time' country works?
The investigation is still at early stages.
Which is why we bring in the foreigner?
What are you? Some hatchet job lady from India?
I'm from England as a matter of fact,
Mr. Ratch.
London, to be precise.
I will pin this on whoever is responsible.
We will be looking at how much speed played a factor
in the derailment.
REPORTER: Following the Apollo crash,
Diana Bright gave these words of comfort.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families,
with all the people who've come flooding in from miles around
to help search for the injured in this carnage.
This small town of Rockwater quickly moved into action,
using the school for victims' families and friends
and transforming the old train station into headquarters
for the investigation and the local hockey rink
quickly became a space for the morgue.
You see that air brake valve back there?
Yeah.
The cock is parallel to the brake pipe open position
so the air should flow from the locomotive
to the rest of the cars.
So the brakes should've worked.
Maybe there's a break or block somewhere else in the pipes.
-Yeah, you know your brakes. -It's pretty basic.
My family all worked in auto factories before they shut
and my father worked with tractor trailers his whole life.
Well, it's the same basic principles.
Now we need to get our hands on an industrial air compressor
so we can check the lines.
-I know a guy. -Thanks, sheriff.
You're welcome.
RADIO:Eagle to home base,
no sign of the fugitive in area one.
Here she comes now.
You're a trooper. Thank you, Mike.
-Oh! -Running on Diana time I see.
There was an FBI roadblock on every road into town.
We were down to one lane.
This is great. Good morning all.
-Did you tell them who you are? -Oh, yeah.
I'm sure they'd have been impressed with that,
federal agents.
Who are they after anyway?
I don't know. Maybe you can ask them at your meeting today.
I get a security briefing?
-You just pulled into the lead. -Uh!
It's good news, I have to work.
Ha ha ha! It's great news.
-Great. -Thanks, ladies. The back desk.
I've been calling Walt Mack's wife,
the man we found in the oil tanker and she's not picking up.
I might swing by there for 'em.
Yeah, I'll come with you, I can talk to her.
You read my mind.
-(SIRENS) -(CHATTER)
So you flew all the way from England
to help with the investigation, huh?
No, D.C. I was, uh, I was at a conference.
-Your husband come too? -No husband.
Kids?
A son, AJ. He's first year at university.
No wife, no kids.
I've got a mother who lives outside Sacramento.
There's Mary right there.
MAN:Move the truck, guys.
The truck needs to be 50 yards out.
Mary?
Excuse me, Mary? It's Sheriff McCullogh.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Walt was a good man.
This is Ms. Malley. She's here investigating the crash.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Mrs. Mack.
How many years were you and Walt married?
Next year is our, or yeah, next week is our silver anniversary.
Was there any change in him recently?
He was...
..he was just more of the same truth be told.
How would you describe that?
He was absent.
Lost inside himself.
And I couldn't, uh...
You all know what I mean.
I er, I lost my own husband to mental illness
and depression.
That's not Walt.
Mary, his truck was parked on the railroad crossing.
He would never take his own life here!
Not after what we've been through!
This damn crossing.
I kept telling him we should move.
Let the bank take the house.
After Leanna died, I couldn't stand being so close.
Leanna?
She was my daughter.
She's beautiful.
It was prom night.
A drinking game.
They dared each other to...
..cross the tracks as the train came.
They think they're immortal and then they're dead
and they take the living too.
Walt was so sad.
But to take all those people too?
I don't believe it.
He was a good man.
Thank you, Mary. God bless you. I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Mary.
OFFICER:Alright you guys, come over here.
You're gonna be coming with us.
When I asked you about your husband back there, I--
It's OK, Sheriff, you weren't to know.
It's just, I kinda lied about my own situation. I had a wife.
She left me 6 years ago. I know it's not the same
but the point is, we all have something, right?
Yeah we do but it's odd that Walter's truck
was on the track the same night that the brakes failed.
-That is is.
Hey!
Well, no blockages so far.
No obstructions, air's flowing through same as the other cars.
-How many cars left? -Just the other one.
They're lifting it now to see if we can get to the lines.
Well, if there's no obstruction maybe there was a problem
with the automation software.
-Maybe. -
What is it?
-We found her there. -Oh God.
It's the boy's mother.
-(SIRENS BLARE IN DISTANCE) -(CHATTER)
-I'm just going-- -Sure.
You found my mom?
I'm sorry, Lucas.
San Diego looks amazing.
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
(WHIMPERS)
Come here.
Are you OK?
I wanna see my mom.
Are you sure?
(PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND)
OK.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Thank you.
Love you.
(CHURCH BELL RINGS)
(CAR UNLOCKS)
(PHONE VIBRATES)
Yeah?
I was wondering if you checked the trainspotter's video online.
-Yeah we have people on that. -Do you?
Cause there are hundreds, hundreds of them.
I've just been--
You chose me as you thought
I'd be easy to manipulate.
Well, if I did I got that wrong.
-
You're not my boss, my mentor, my anything.
Please just leave me alone.
I understand.
Good.
I'll get the job done, sir.
Yes, sir.
Agent Hunter, we might be able to help you better
if we knew who you were looking for.
It's just that
the natives are getting restless out there so...
-Can I not say that now? -No.
Sorry just people around here like to know
who's running around their back yard, that's all.
Copy that.
I heard about that uh, boy's mom.
-Yeah. -Must have been awful.
Yeah.
Until yesterday, I don't think I'd seen a dead body before.
-Had you? -Uh yeah, my dad.
-Oh, uh-- -It's OK.
Just sorta hits close to home, you know?
Where is home?
Oh, well that's a tough one.
Um, I was an army brat, then a brat of a single mom brat,
then a foster care brat.
You know, it's sort of just complicated.
-How about you? -I'm from Montreal.
So you speak French?
Un petit peu. I'm from Mount Royal.
I come from a long line of privilege on both sides.
Well, it doesn't show.
Thank you.
Charlotte found a connection to Cole.
Philip Hogan. I found his name on a list of victims.
Right, what is Philip Hogan's connection to Jordan Cole?
He and John Cole started URSA in college.
He was involved in the design of the automation software
that ran the Apollo.
(HELICOPTER WHIRS OVERHEAD)
Eagle's made a sighting on highway 5.
Let's move out.
CAR COMPUTER:Call from Kendra Malley.
Ms. Malley, I know you've been asking
for access to the software.
Yeah I have but it's not why I'm calling you, Mr. Cole.
Sorry to have to tell you this but we've discovered
somebody close to you died in the train crash last night.
Philip Hogan.
Yeah.
I was just hoping against hope.
The Apollo was just the beginning.
Phil was the future.
The world lost a visionary.
Last night on TV, you mentioned that there were people
who would celebrate the crash of the Apollo.
It was an emotional night.
you think could be involved.
Thank you for letting me know about Phil.
-Well, what'd he say? -Not much.
(HELICOPTER WHIRS OVERHEAD)
we'll take River Road.
Agent Hunter at the farm on Concession 59.
-Going to do a sweep. -
HUNTER:Go around back.
(HENS CLUCK)
(CREAK)
Damn.
Nothing here. Check the perimeter.
-You see anything? -Let's go inside.
-You ready? -Yeah, all set.
So the simulation takes into account all derailment factors
and keep in mind,
we already established the brakes weren't functioning.
-So slowing down's not an option -Correct. Uh, OK.
So here's the train approaching the curve at 140mph
heading straight for the tanker.
(BEEPS)
-And it derails as expected. -Right.
Look closer. I'll play it back in slow motion.
Yeah, you see how the train is leaning
as it takes the bend?
-Yes, it's in too far. -Yeah now watch what happens
when I remove the tanker from the equation.
Now speed is the only factor.
(BEEPS)
-Boom! -It derails anyway.
Yep, as you suspected.
The truck had no bearing whatsoever on the accident.
That should offer Walt Mack's widow some peace of mind.
-KENDRA:Hmph. -What are you thinking?
What if Bill Ratch hadn't asked the train operator to speed up?
Would it have made a difference?
You mean if the train was doing 120mph, not 140?
Yeah, did the extra 20mph make any difference?
Well, let's see.
It's the same result.
So brake failure is the one and only reason
the train left the tracks.
But we already ruled out
mechanical failure and human error.
Yeah, so why didn't the brakes work then?
Maybe John Cole's software isn't as flawless as he lets on.
All clear here, we're on our way back.
(PHONE RINGS)
I'm done answering questions.
I was calling to say we've ruled out increased speed
as a factor in the crash.
-Hilarious. -
I just got the call. The company fired me.
They're fighting to keep my pension.
They have no right to.
Really? Like you're not the one who dropped the load on me.
I would watch your back.
Just heard you're ahead in the polls, congratulations.
I'll celebrate Governor Martin hires movers.
We've set up shop across the street til ballots are cast
which I see will be dangerous for my diet.
Well, welcome to the neighbourhood.
Thank you.
How long you been in Michigan, Gail?
Oh, a few years before the Brights.
Well, we came up the Erie Canal in 1836.
Oh, and my people were there to welcome you.
You're the one who was warning people about the Apollo.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't right.
-You work the rails? -Until half an hour ago.
Thirty years I put in, for what?
-Diana, car's waiting. -Hang on.
That's my son, Richard, by the way.
-And you are? -I'm Bill Ratch.
Bill, hey. Diana.
So, uh, tell me what happened.
(DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(GROANS)
(PHONE RINGS)
Dom, please tell me you have something.
I sent you the Interpol file on Max O'Neill.
He's not your typical cartel member.
-How do you mean? -
Owns an investment management firm.
He launders money for the cartel?
That would be my guess.
Carlos Ortega runs the Mataluna cartel.
Max married his sister Maria.
Carlos Ortega.
That's who he said wanted to kill him.
Max's brother-in-law?
Maria was killed by a car bombing.
Reports suggest a rival cartel sending a message.
If he launders money,
maybe he's up for racketeering, extradited from Canada.
So the marshals take him to Chicago for his arraignment?
Then why would he still be going to Chicago? It makes no sense.
I've gotta go. Speak to you later.
-I need to borrow you. -What is it?
Diana Bright pulled into the lead today
and the election's next week.
So?
By law, she's entitled to security briefings.
-She wants to know everything. -That makes two of us.
Come on in. Right this way, please.
Kendra Malley, she's leading the crash investigation.
And getting good men fired I hear.
I had nothing to do with that.
Wasn't you that wrote the report
saying the train was too fast?
-I did, but-- -Well, that did it.
I just love your accent by the way.
I spent some time over there myself.
Smashing.
Richard Bright, Diana's campaign manager.
And son! He forgets that part sometimes.
So ladies, who's running loose in Michigan at the moment?
Releasing the fugitive's name would put him in danger.
It would what?
What about everyone else?
Isn't everyone in danger?
-To some extent-- -Some?!
Some is too much. So, who is he?
Whats's his name?
He's a Mataluna cartel associate.
His name is Max O'Neill.
-As in the Mexican cartel? -HUNTER:Yes.
I believe Mr. O'Neill is set to testify against the cartel.
Isn't that right, Agent Hunter?
If he's gonna testify, why's he running?
We'll ask him when he find him, ma'am.
If the cartel finds him first?
The case dies with him.
That's why you understand
the need to keep his whereabouts confidential.
(EXHALES)
Absolutely. Thank you, ladies.
Thank you.
How did you know O'Neill was gonna be a material witness?
I have my ways. How did the cartel find out
that Max was on the train? Someone in the FBI leak it?
No, the leak was from outside the bureau.
-How do you know? -I'm an FBI agent, I have ways.
Kendra! Someone's on the tip line for you, name's Bob.
Patch it to my phone.
Hello?
I need your help.
Don't bring the feds. Trust me, please.
REPORTER:Diana Bright followed up her tweet
with a remarkable announcement.
I'll tell you what the FBI won't.
There is a fugitive on the run, he is armed and he is dangerous,
so lock your doors and keep your children safe.
You came.
I didn't think you would.
Should we get you to hospital?
Please, just sit.
You didn't tell the FBI you were coming, did you?
No.
I guess you know who I am by now.
Yeah, you clean money for the cartel.
Now you're testifying against them.
Guess that is who I am.
What happened?
My business partner
stole millions I found out.
Just life savings from dozens of clients
and so I turned
to my brother-in-law for help.
I told Carlos that I would launder his money for 6 months
until I made the money back.
But there's no leaving the cartel.
And now he's trying to kill me.
You think Carlos crashed the train
to stop you testifying against him?
Right after the crash, I saw a man stumble
out of the car behind me. My height, my build.
Someone approached him
I thought he was trying to help the guy
but then he snapped his neck.
(CRACK)
You think Carlos had a hitman waiting to ensure you died?
Did you get a good look at the murderer?
-No. -OK.
-You should come with me. -I can't.
-The FBI are gonna-- -(CAR APPROACHES)
What?
-Someone's here. -What?
Alright, are you OK to go out the front
and I'll meet you on the road, OK?
OK.
(GRUNTS)
-What the hell? -I'm a federal agent.
I'm just checking the house for a fugitive.
You can't do that!
-I can. -Get back here!
-(PHONE RINGS) -Hey Kendra.
-
The first are going now.
You need to stop them to be reexamined.
-For what? -
Hey, hey, hey guys, wait.
(COUGHS)
(GUNSHOT)
