Departure (2019) s02e04 Episode Script

Previously on "Departure"
He is armed, and he is dangerous.
(GUNSHOT)
O'Neill's out of surgery
You did this for votes!
You mess with me, I mess back.
You still have that sweet ride?
Bring me proof when it's done.
I need to know he's gone.
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
- What about Max?
- Gone. Dunno how, dunno where.
- Regulations state that
- Regulations?!
You trying to pin this on me now?
That lady was brought in
to scapegoat me.
I'm here because we'd like you
to appear in our campaign ad.
This is our mystery man getting
on the train in Detroit.
He paid with cash,
so no way to track him.
I only have one more shot of him.
He goes into the washroom
so you must see him coming out.
He never appears again.
A person of interest dialled
this number just before
our train derailed.
The person you're calling is dead.
Would you check out the car crash?
What in Canada? I just got here.
I think there's a connection.
We believe that Mr. Hogan was murdered.
I need Phil's laptop.
- Who's the guy outside?
- Agh!
- What are you doing here?
- I've nowhere else to go.
I just need a little rest
and then I'll go.
Heading to Chicago on your own?
Safer that way.
Want a drink?
Yeah.
- What'ya got?
- I have no idea.
(CAR HORN AND ALARM)
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
(MUSIC FADES)
So, when's the grand jury?
Two days.
Em, what's the plan after that?
Witness protection?
I mean, (SIGHS) that's the plan.
But ah
Pfft! I dunno.
- I dunno.
- What?
What is it?
So
My wife
The the car bomb
It was my fault.
How?
I told Carlos I wanted out.
So I stopped laundering money.
I closed down his accounts.
I thought, I'm family.
He's not really gonna do anything.
Then I found our dog on the front porch.
- Dead.
- Maria knew it was a warning.
She knew there was only
one way out of the business.
Then Maria got angry, and uh
wanted to go for a drive
to clear her head.
Car bomb was meant for you.
I gotta do something.
I gotta make some kinda amends.
My husband took his own life.
He was suffering from depression
and it got worse and worse.
Turned to psychosis.
I tried to do everything
I could to help and it
It's not easy to move on.
No. It's not.
- (WATER DRIPPING)
- (CRYING)
I'm so sorry for your trouble.
Has he been ID'd yet?
Hector Sanchez.
Originally from Los Angeles.
Known associate of the Matalona cartel.
I hope there's not more comin'.
NEWSMAN: Still no word on the identity
of the gunman shot dead
by police yesterday afternoon
outside the Rockwater County
Health Clinic.
When asked if the suspect
had ANY connections
to alleged cartel associate Max O'Neill,
both the FBI and the local
sheriff's office declined to comment
other than to say that
the investigation is ongoing.
So you're definitely going?
Sure that's the right choice?
I can't take any more chances
with the FBI.
Ortega's got men everywhere
and I need to get to that grand jury.
I could get a friend to
drive you, Dom from last night?
Nah, can't risk
getting anyone else killed.
The FBI will come after you.
Carlos' men will look for you.
A friend of Maria's in Chicago
is gonna help me.
If it's a friend of Maria's
and she knows her brother
He's a priest.
He hates the cartel.
I'm in safe hands with Emilio.
- Emilio?
- Yeah, Emilio.
I heard Carlos on a Matalona phone tap.
Emilio was the one who told
the cartel you were on the train.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Good morning.
- Dom!
- Hi!
- I'm just heading out.
I should be in Hamilton in five hours.
Great, thanks.
Uh it may be nothing, but eh
it's worth checking.
- Are you OK?
- Yeah.
(MUFFLED) Let me know
if you find our fugitive.
Dom, stop worrying about me.
Let me know what you find, yeah?
You sure you're alright?
I feel like you want
to ask me something.
No. Eh it's all good.
Alright. Well, I better get going.
- Drive safe, yeah?
- I will.
Bye.
Max?
(KNOCK).
- Bad time?
- Uh no, not at all.
- Hi, Lucas!
- Hey.
His mom's boyfriend
is arriving in a few hours
but in the meantime?
Sure.
Lucas
you're gonna spend the day
with me today, OK?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
She's not coming back.
I'm sorry.
Is Max gone?
Yeah.
Did something bad happen to him?
No! No, he's just gone away
for a bit, that's all.
What's that?
Max told me to give it to you
IF he needed to leave.
(TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
TV: Bill Ratch,
a third-generation railway man
and another victim
of the Apollo train crash.
Computers, they never blame.
Just people.
'Cos people can be fired.
REPORTER: And who has Bill Ratch
been fired by?
Who's the woman
Governor Martin put in charge
of this state's worst disaster?
She's not from Michigan.
She's not even an American.
That lady was brought in to scapegoat.
Sorry, Kendra. It just came on TV.
Can't you sue 'em or something?
This is um this is Lucas.
Oh! Hey, bud!
Yeah, he's gonna be hanging out
with us today.
- Great.
- Cool.
Great.
Ahh oh.
Here you go.
Eh Lucas, why don't you
show me that rad car?
Come on!
What is on that?!
- I need you to find out.
- Sure.
Eh, just keep it between ourselves, OK?
- Yeah, you got it.
- Keep your eye on your fave car.
Ready?
Oh!
Where's your car, Lucas? Where?
Oh, you're good!
(MENACING MUSIC)
(NECK CRACKS)
(MENACING MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
(WHISPERING) Hey, nice work.
Oh, my first career was in babysitting.
OK uh, have you
been able to ID our ghost?
Well, that is a good name for him.
I've talked to our friends the FBI
about facial recognition,
and between the sunglasses
and the hat
- They can't identify the face.
- No.
But I think we know how he
activated the emergency brakes.
Uh, here we go.
This is the washroom
that our ghost went into
and never came out of.
And see that right there?
That's the pipe that operates
the emergency brake system.
It runs right through the washroom wall.
What's the holdup?
So, if he could get to the pipe,
he could activate the emergency brake
without using one of the pulls?
Yeah, it's possible.
It wouldn't be easy.
The pipes are really thick metal.
But maybe our ghost came prepared.
Where are we with
the window lining I found?
It's the same make
they use on the train.
You think he stopped the train,
then jumped out the window?
Well, let's find out!
They're cleaning the cars of biohazards.
I'll check it out as soon as
they give the all clear.
- OK.
- (PHONE RINGS)
Dr. Lopez?
I've got good news.
Brad Walker arrived for Lucas.
- He's here?
- Yeah, he's heading to lockup
- to collect Amy's things.
- OK, great.
You think I haven't been
through enough here, dammit!
I mean, I'm her husband.
So I'm not leavin' here
without that suitcase.
- Mr. Walker?
- Yes!
Hi, I'm uh I'm Kendra Malley.
Everything OK?
Ahh, well he's saying
that I'm not next-of-kin
because Amy and I were common law.
But it it's right here. I could
I'm sure it's just
a matter of paperwork.
Hey! Buddy! Hey!
Howya doin'? Huh?
Howya doin', buddy?
You know, I think we're all
just still in a bit of shock.
And um we'd just love
to get her things, you know?
Sentimental value.
I understand.
And uh I really don't know
how he's gonna deal with all this.
I mean him and Amy
were were really close.
Well, you're family.
That's what he needs right now.
The agent will give you
all the necessary paperwork.
You know, it's just that one suitcase.
I I wanna get him outta here.
Is all this necessary?
I'm afraid so, Mr. Walker.
I'm just gonna say goodbye.
Yeah.
You ready to go now?
(WHISPERING) I don't wanna go with him.
You don't wanna go?
No!
OK.
Victims' families
keep calling looking for answers.
Let's um
Let's see if we can get some footage
of the hearses leaving town,
people crying.
Somebody talking to camera.
Hey! You need to take
that ad down, RIGHT NOW!
Hey, Bill. Was the ad
not what you were expecting?
You've made me look like some kind of
a crap-slinging asshole. That's not me.
But you said she scapegoated you.
I say a lotta things when I'm
pissed off, but not on TV!
Mr. Ratch. Is there a problem?
Yeah, there's a problem.
Your son is a cheat and a liar.
Please let me apologize on his behalf.
Sorry's one thing, but where
does that leave me, huh?
That British lady has done right by me.
I never signed up for this crap.
Pfft, he he signed a waiver.
And therefore you can't sue us,
or we'll sue you,
and on, and on, and on.
Listen, Bill.
Can I be honest with you?
I hate everything about politics.
(SNORTS IN DISBELIEF)
I would rather be sippin'
a Long Island Iced Tea,
sittin' on a patio,
braggin' about my grandkids.
But this state is in the damn crapper
and somethin' has to be done,
and sometimes
that includes mudslingin'.
Yeah, well this isn't right.
No, but folks like us
you and me, we remember when Michigan
was the engine of this country.
Right? Everybody had a job, a good job.
You could raise a family.
There was
There was a future.
And we were buildin' it all together.
We had pride and hope.
- I remember.
- Yeah.
That's what I want for my grandkids.
Hopes and dreams.
Now there's just fear,
and dread, and shame.
My son goes too far.
But he is tryin'
to bring us back from the brink.
And yeah
He used you to get that done.
You shoulda told me what you were doin'!
You're absolutely right, Bill.
I..I made a mistake
and it's not gonna happen again.
Deal?
Yeah.
That's good stuff.
Hopes and dreams. Shame.
By the end of today,
Bill will be a celebrity.
He'll forget any of this ever happened.
You are a great strategist, Richard,
but leave the personal touch to me.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Kendra, I
- What's this?
- It's Lucas' mother's.
Boyfriend seems to be more
interested in this than Lucas.
And I wanna find out why.
That's why.
- No way!
- What is it?
Restraining order.
Yeah eh, the SD card
Yeah. Find anything on it?
Oh, yeah! A bunch of
financial statements,
investments, money transfers,
that sort of thing.
Huge amounts hidden all over the world.
Ellen!
I have something for you.
What's this?
Evidence to take the cartel down.
- The financial records?
- Mmm-hmm.
That's amazing!
And it turns out that the man
who tipped off the cartel
is a friend of Max's.
A priest by the name of Emilio.
Saint Emilio, from the Carlos tape?
How the hell do you know all this?
Max stayed in my room last night.
And people say the Brits are boring!
Look, it is my neck's on the line
if he doesn't show up
for the Grand Jury.
He told me that he's heading to Chicago.
Hah! Yes!
Listen, I need a favour from you.
A favour?
The man who was here for Lucas
has a history of domestic abuse.
Can you help?
Absolutely.
Hello.
You're the accident investigator?
Dominic Hayes.
I'm here on behalf of the FTSA.
Sergeant Siobhan Boyle.
Oh! We spoke on the phone.
So that's it, eh?
Yeah. It's down there, if you don't mind
getting your fancy shoes dirty.
So what does a drunk-driving
accident in Canada
have to do with
a train crash in Michigan?
I'm not sure, but one of the passengers
on board the Apollo
may have been murdered.
And my DUI fits into that how?
Well, he was the last person
our victim called.
Now they're both dead.
Exactly.
- You identified the driver?
- Name's Connor Tate.
Thirty-three, no wife, no kids.
Sister who lives in town.
Connor Tate.
And what do you think
happened here, Sergeant Boyle?
Well, from the absence
of skid marks on the road,
and Connor's staggeringly high
blood-alcohol level
I'd say he had a few too many,
didn't spot the curve,
and just went straight off the road.
Mmm-hmm.
Did you do a chemical swab?
On a routine drunk driver? No, I didn't.
And I think my supervising officer would
laugh me out of the precinct if I did.
Well, let's see if he laughs
when you tell him
that the brake line has been severed.
What?!
How?
I'm not sure.
That's why we need a chemical swab.
(CARS HONKING)
(CAR HONKING)
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS TO CRESCENDO)
Finally!
We all done now?
Lucas, Charlotte has got
something for you downstairs.
Special Agent Ellen Hunter.
I'm afraid I can't let you take Lucas.
Looks like you have a history
of domestic assault in Canada.
You can't charge me, Amy's gone.
You also have an outstanding
drug warrant.
Which means Agent Hunter here
can arrest you.
You're looking at months
in the county lockup here
just waiting for an extradition order.
What happens to the kid?
He'll get locked up too.
There is another option.
What's that?
We also found
6,000 dollars in Amy's luggage.
Yeah, that's mine.
She stole it and ran off.
Nice try. That woman worked three jobs.
You haven't worked in five years.
The money's what you really came for,
so why don't you just take it
and leave the boy.
Kid spooks me out anyway.
- (PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE)
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
The Canadians will
pick Brad up at the border.
So what are you gonna do with the boy?
Want me to call Social Services?
(EMPHATIC) No!
I mean, he's got family.
We just need to find them.
By the way,
the Financial Crimes Unit in DC
is reviewing the data you gave me.
- Looks promising.
- Glad to hear it.
Still no substitute
for having O'Neill on the stand.
- You'll let me know if he calls.
- Yeah, of course.
- Hey!
- Hi.
NEWS REPORT: Following several
days of declining share price
Ursa Technologies released
a statement today which reads:
"Safety has always been
Ursa's top priority
and we have full confidence
that the FTSA will conclude that
our automation system played no
part in the Apollo derailment."
(SIRENS) (TRAFFIC SOUNDS)
(SIRENS)
Hey! So your instincts
may have been right.
The deceased's name was Connor Tate.
This crash is starting to look
less like an accident
and more like a severed brake line.
We're running some tests now.
Well, what's his connection
to Phillip Hogan?
We're going to interview the sister now.
- I'll let you know how it goes.
- OK.
- You got the address, right?
- Yeah.
There's an amazing
food truck up that way.
You up for some pulled pork poutine?
I want to say yes.
OK, so who's your favourite team?
Maple Leafs.
Maple Leafs? Come on! Redwings!
Eleven Stanley Cups.
One of the original six.
Mmm-hmm. Yeah, I mean last time
they won the Cup, I was in Sixth Grade.
OK, you watch your manners, young lady.
- Charlotte?
- Oh!
I see you got the little fella here.
Yeah, I'm trying to find next-of-kin.
I found two tickets
to San Diego in his mom's bag,
so maybe that's where
Lucas' grandfather is from.
Oh! And I found what
might be a picture of him.
You try this number?
Yep, I got a teenage girl in Madison.
No connection. It's an old number.
So, male, possible last name Miller
in and around San Diego.
I'll see if I can get a list.
- Cheers.
- Thank you.
Dom called, he said that the last person
that Phil Hogan called was a man
by the name of Connor Tate.
Let's see if they're connected.
Yeah, sure.
- Hey!
- Hi.
You off to the site?
Yeah, checking out the washroom
in Car 2 to see if there's
any evidence of tampering.
Glamorous life of the FTSA!
(PHONE RINGING)
CAR SYSTEM: "Call from Kendra Malley."
Jordan Cole,
leave a message and I or my office
- will get back to you.
- (BEEP)
Eh, Mr. Cole, it's Kendra Malley.
I need to ask you a few more
questions about Phillip Hogan.
There may be another death
connected to his.
Could you give me a call
as soon as possible? Thanks.
CAR SYSTEM: "End of message."
Ms. Tate, thank you for
agreeing to meet with me again.
Mr. Hayes here has some
additional questions for you.
I'm very sorry
about your brother, Ms. Tate.
Thank you.
Can you tell me though,
have you ever seen this man before?
No, I don't think so.
His name is Phillip Hogan.
He was a passenger aboard
the Apollo when it crashed.
Oh, I've read about that
on the news so awful!
Yes, it was. We have reason to believe
that Mr. Hogan may have been murdered.
Your brother was
the last person he spoke to.
Oh my God!
Any idea how
they may have known each other?
Emm No, I don't
really know Connor's friends.
Do you mind uh, just taking
another look at this photo?
You sure you don't recognize him?
I'm sorry.
May I ask what your brother
did for a living?
Perhaps they knew each other
through business.
He managed the family trust.
Well, what's left of it.
Were you two close?
We were two children of divorce.
We used to spy on our parents.
Play them off one another.
And em
Then they both died.
And we grew even closer.
(NO SOUND)
So he was your stepbrother?
Though it never felt like that.
Connor was all I had.
Emm now there's no one.
Rose, can you think of anyone
that may have wanted
to hurt your brother?
What do you mean?
Upon further investigation,
it would appear
that his crash
may not have been an accident.
You told me that he was drunk.
That he drove off the road.
There may have been more
to it than that.
- That's crazy!
- We'll keep you informed, OK?
Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Tate.
Let me show you out.
Did she seem scared to you?
From the first mention of Phillip Hogan.
The police were here, again!
For God's sake,
tell me what you've done!
I think you look into the Tate
family trust.
See if there's a connection
you can make there.
Yeah, what's that?
Follow the money
is a good rule of thumb.
Rich people hate getting poor.
That mansion hasn't
had a reno since the '90s.
Let's see what
the chemical swab determines.
You've got good instincts.
Ever thought about
putting in for detective?
And become a suit? Nah.
I think the uniform suits me, don't you?
What exactly is this?
Cheese curds, fries, gravy.
(TRUCK HORN)
(SIRENS IN DISTANCE)
(FLOOR CREAKS)
Max!
I I thought you were dead.
But but the news!
You told them I was on the train.
You don't understand.
You're right.
I don't.
(SCREAMS)
You betrayed Maria!
You helped the same person
who killed her!!
They put a gun to my head
but I still said nothing.
You told them I was
on the train, Emilio.
I know that for a fact!
They even
They even threatened the Church,
the congregation,
the children
(SIRENS IN DISTANCE)
Would Maria have wanted that?
(MAX DRAWS A SHARP BREATH
THROUGH HIS NOSE)
(LONG SIGH)
You know, sometimes I wish
you'd never introduced us.
She loved you.
I knew her since we were kids,
and I never saw her happy before YOU.
And then I
Don't!
And then Carlos.
He was always the source of her pain.
We need to stop him.
Max, we owe it to her.
I'll testify against him.
What good would that do
with him still in Mexico?
What if he wasn't?
He's here?
He blames you for his sister's death.
He's come to kill you himself.
Call him.
Tell him I'm here.
Call him.
Bingo!
Bingo again.
Just got a call from
the National Tracing Centre.
Both guns were reported stolen
from a gun store in New Mexico.
This one was found on
Hector Sanchez the cartel guy
shot at the hospital,
and this was the one that
killed Walter Mack
at the railroad crossing.
- Both a cartel?
- Little doubt about it.
So Walter Mack didn't commit suicide.
He was killed by the Matalona?
Yeah, probably by this Sanchez guy.
And then Sanchez moved
Walter's truck onto the tracks
to make sure that the train derailed.
Then he searches for Max after the crash
to make sure that he didn't survive,
and kills Phillip Hogan by mistake.
Well, maybe Phil Hogan
WAS at the wrong place
at the wrong time.
OK, hold on! Kendra!
Something's happened
to Theo at the crash site.
She's on her way.
- (RADIO CHATTER)
- KENDRA: Theo!
It's alright.
Theo what happened? Are you OK?
I was just about to call you,
then everything went black.
Someone must've gotten me from behind.
Mr. Ratch found me.
Kendra, you were right.
The air valve for the emergency brake
was severed, that's what
triggered the emergency stop.
- The window was there too.
- You should go to hospital.
I'm fine, I'm fine!
OK, eh maybe not.
Did you see anyone.
I was driving by.
I thought I saw flames.
You certain you didn't see anything?
Look, I thought you were
gonna lose your man here.
I did what I could.
Thank you.
THEO: Yeah.
THEO: OK.
Sounds good. Alright.
Copy that?
You were right. Chemical swab came back
showing traces of nitrate.
Nitrate?!
What are you thinking?
Someone wanted Connor
to drive off the road.
They would've had to have
severed the brake
just before the turn.
Best way to do that
is by remote detonation.
(RADIO CHATTER)
What is that?
My bet is det cord.
Do we know where Connor
was coming from that night?
The pub on Main Street.
You think someone tailed him from there?
Yeah, then triggered the det cord
just before the turn
at exactly the right moment.
Let's hit the pub then.
You read my mind.
- Bill Ratch found him?!
- Yeah.
He said that he saw the fire,
then he found Theo.
- Said he didn't see anyone.
- Do we believe him?
I don't know.
You realize what this means?
- Someone's watching us.
- Yeah.
And prepared to go to any extent
to stop us from finding the truth.
Alright.
Hi, may I speak to a Mr. Miller, please?
Sure.
- Hey.
- Hi! Dr. Lopez called.
He said Theo was doing well.
Ah, that's a relief.
Did eh, did Bill Ratch call?
(WHISPERS) No. Oh! Hi, Mr. Miller.
Hi, do you by chance
have a grandson named Lucas?
Thanks anyway.
- (SIGHS)
- No luck?
Nope! And I've left a bajillion messages
Did you find any connection
between Tate and Hogan?
Oh! Well, Phillip Hogan
is a high tech whiz.
And Connor Tate is a college
dropout with a trust fund.
I haven't found a connection yet.
Ah, maybe Jordan Cole's
the connective tissue.
I'll look into that.
Where's Lucas?
Out back
playing catch with an FBI agent.
Oh, and I'll take him tonight.
- You've enough on your plate.
- You sure?
Yeah, watching cartoons is
actually a good night for me.
I'm sure time will soon
take care of that.
Hasn't yet!
TV: Many questions surround
the crash of the Apollo.
Did Jordan Cole
buy his way through Senate
and FTSA approval of
the automation software?
Was Phillip Hogan an accidental victim
of the crash, or is there
corporate espionage at play?
Rumours are that Hogan
had concerns over developments
at Ursa Technologies, and he and Cole
had a falling out.
The families of 62 dead
and 130 victims await these answers
while the FTSA and FBI investigate.
(PHONE RINGING)
Meanwhile, Diana Bright,
candidate for Governor of Michigan
has stated previously
(TENSE MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGS AND BUZZES)
Dom?
We caught a break with the CCTV.
And I've sent you the footage.
Okay, looking now.
He was waiting outside the pub
where Connor Tate had been drinking.
We're standing here now.
When Tate drove off
he followed. Our man is in the jeep.
- That looks like him.
- Who?
The ghost in the train.
It's all connected, Dom.
We got to find him.
(KNOCKING)
Mind if I come in, Bill?
Hmm.
Why'dya have to
come messin' around, Bill?
Hmm?
You were gonna kill that guy!
What business is that of yours?
When I saw you before, I remembered.
That time in the Legion
you askin' questions
about how someone
could take down the Apollo.
I don't recollect that.
You son of a bitch.
You just just went ahead and did it?!
You've a wild imagination, Bill.
Sixty-two people dead.
And you used me to do it.
There are casualties
in every revolution.
(POPS LIPS)
You lost your job, Bill.
That's gotta hurt.
The way I see it now, you pretty much
have nothing left to live for, do you?
