Departure (2019) s03e02 Episode Script

Dead in the Water

1
Previously on Departure
The storm's shifted.
Headed straight our way.
What the hell just happened?
Coast guard, we are listing
hard here, taking on water.
Everyone, go, go!
Your brother's still
on the bridge, right?
The ferry's radar went dead just
32 minutes after the initial mayday.
A vessel like that?
It should have stayed
on the surface for hours, if not days.
Reports are that most of
the passengers were still
in their cabins when the storm hit.
So, almost 300 people still missing.
I know who did this. I
know who sank that ferry.
Arlo Shank.
An angel saved me.
He came up from below.
I'm an insurance adjuster
representing some of the families.
So, what have we got here?
A young man too embarrassed
to tell his mother
he's lost his job, or a
fired employee set on revenge?
Check this out, people were
livestreaming while it was going down.
Can't go up. You go down.
She's leading passengers
deeper into the ship.
Where would they go where they
knew they could find oxygen?
Uh, no!
Did you hear, too?
They found some people out there.
Don't know if it's true.
It must be. I mean, everyone's waiting.
I was with my mom, but, uh
I lost my boyfriend out there, too.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Ah, make sure you get
those hard drives to Theo.
First priority.
After you.
Despite all the efforts among
the local fishermen to find survivors,
the search and rescue has now
been officially been called off.
Sources tell us that Arlo Shank,
an ex-employee of Garrison Ferry Line,
is now considered a prime
suspect in its sinking.
Stop it! This is nonsense!
They're only saying all
that 'cause he's different.
He's gentle.
He only got mad when people didn't
take him serious, that's all.
How did Arlo get mad?
Not mad. I don't mean that.
I just mean he he drove himself crazy
with all of this. But no one listened.
- Listened to what, exactly?
- Hm.
Is this tablet Arlo's?
- Mrs. Shank, can you open this?
- No.
They can open it at the lab.
But they won't be able
to put it back together.
But they won't put it back.
I'd know if he was dangerous.
A mother always knows, right?
- All these links are dead.
- And now he's gone.
Well, we don't know that
for certain, Mrs. Shank.
Get out of my house.
Please.
Thank you, Mrs. Shank.
Theo, what have you got?
Currently, just a bunch of dead links.
I should be able to
restore them, though.
Ah. Looks like a conspiracy theory site.
What about the blueprints?
What was Arlo focusing on?
Uh Mainly the lower deck,
he called it the red zone.
He kept lists and lists about it.
He was measuring vibration
levels, counting rivets,
recording the smallest
deviations from required specs.
He even recorded sound decibels
on different deck levels.
To what end?
Obviously, he was convinced
the ship was dangerous.
He seemed obsessed.
Ellen's meeting with the ferry
owner today. Garrison, right?
Yeah. Let's see what she finds
out about this Arlo character.
- Um, Kendra?
- Mm-hmm?
- Nina Collins is on her way in.
- Okay, great. Thank you.
I'm Francine Quigley, the CEO.
Ellen Hunter. FTSA.
I didn't realize you guys
were right on the docks.
The first ferries used
to leave from here.
My grandfather founded the company.
I'm the third generation
to run it. First woman.
Don't want to be the last.
You can be sure we
plan to fully cooperate.
We need to make sure
our insurance pays out.
Then why haven't you given us the
maintenance records we requested?
We need you to subpoena them.
That's what the lawyers say.
- And why is that?
- We bought the Queen of the Narrows
from a refurbishing
company out of the UK.
We had no idea of the
problems that it had.
We had to spend two million
dollars bringing it up to code,
- so we're suing.
- What was wrong with it?
A lot of little things
that added up to a big bill.
Keeping that ship
seaworthy nearly broke us.
Are you aware of an
ex-employee named Arlo Shank?
I am now. It's all over the news.
Can you tell me why he was fired?
I'm not sure he was.
We downsized last year.
I think he was just part of the layoffs.
Well, that's a coincidence, isn't it?
- What do you mean?
- Well, you have this employee
who was obsessed that there's
something wrong with the ship,
and meanwhile, you guys are
suing for the exact same reasons,
yet this guy gets fired.
Are you sure there's
no paper trail on this?
We had no choice. We had to let him go.
Because of the
complaints about the ship?
Because they weren't credible.
He was alarming both
crew and passengers.
All this nonsense about sound waves
and dead zones below decks.
Our lawyers were worried
that he would damage our case.
We couldn't risk him being
deposed by the other side.
But he was still riding
the ferry, anyway?
I swear I knew nothing about that.
I would've put a stop to it somehow.
You don't think he
could have done something?
That's what we're trying to figure out.
Tyler, Tyler, Tyler.
Tyler.
Tyler, please.
Tyler, I can't lose you.
- Hi, hi. Hi.
- Lily.
Oh, my God, Lily.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I can't believe you're alive.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I tried to take Solo out
for a walk and then
What happened to Solo?
I'm sorry, Ty.
Tyler?
No, no, no, no.
What? What is it?
My phone? My phone Where's my phone?
I don't know.
Lil, I need my phone.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
I need my phone.
It's here, it's here, it's here.
Just can you lie back?
It's okay.
I'm here. I'm here.
It's okay.
I'll be back, okay?
Hi. Uh, can I help you with something?
Are you with the investigation?
Yes. Are you looking for somebody?
I want to know what in God's
name happened out there.
Yeah. We don't have a
lot of information yet.
Well, that's not good enough.
I deserve to know what killed my son.
I'm really sorry. If you
give me your contact info,
I can put you on my info list.
I don't want to be put on a list.
I want to talk to someone
who knows what's going on.
Someone who's actually
looking into this,
not just mollycoddling relatives.
- No offense.
- No. It's okay.
Theo! Hey. Ah, you got a second?
Yeah. What do you need?
Can you help this
gentleman with something?
Look, uh, I don't have time
for this right now. Sorry.
What did the insurance guy need?
Insurance? No. He was
asking about his son.
No. He's lying. He's probably
with the tabloid press.
Gonna call personnel, see if
they can send some extra security.
Yeah. Good idea.
Hey, there. This is, uh,
Theo Barker from the FTSA.
Nina, do you remember
what happened on the
night of the sinking?
Like, where you were, what you did
I was in my cabin and
I went to go get Jada.
- But we couldn't get through.
- It's okay.
You decided to make your
way towards the ballast tank.
Not many people
would've thought of that.
- We go down.
- Down? Are you sure?
Go! There was no other choice.
There really was no way up.
Did you see where the
water was coming from?
Not exactly, but, uh
it was definitely coming from below.
- Susan, no.
- It's all right. I'm not afraid.
No!
There's still a part of me that's
down there with those others.
It's going to take time, Nina.
How's how's Jada doing?
You mean the dark angel?
I don't know what to make about that.
You're, um, you're Annie, right?
Yeah. And you must be, uh, Jessica.
Yeah. My brother, Dave,
talked about you a lot.
You, uh, you heard anything?
They say no one else could've survived.
Yeah.
They say that.
Not me.
Really?
I'm going to find him.
You got somewhere to stay?
No.
You do now. Come on.
Get you some fresh
clothes. It's this one.
Okay, well, she's small, but cozy.
You can, uh, you can help
yourself to anything in the fridge.
I don't keep booze in the house.
It's okay. I don't want any.
I don't have a spare room,
but the couch is pretty comfy
and there's clothes in the back closet.
Towels, too, you know?
Help yourself and, uh,
I don't keep the door locked.
Annie?
I'm sorry.
Dave took my place.
It should have been me.
That's not how he would have wanted it.
It just
Marry me if we get out of this, okay?
Wait, what?
Hey! Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Where did you come from?
What's this here?
"Solo."
Okay. Solo That's a good name.
That's a good name.
Solo.
I'm solo, too.
We're leaving tomorrow afternoon
and we'll be home in no time.
Said I don't want to go.
Why would we stay?
We don't even know what happened.
Why all those people died.
Why I was the one that was saved.
- Jada, this dark angel stuff
- You don't believe me.
Jada
You were freaked out.
Why wouldn't you be?
It happened.
I can't just go back home and
pretend like none of this did.
Okay.
We'll stay.
Thank you!
Hey, have you heard from Ellen?
Uh, yeah. Judge has just signed off.
Theo should have access
to the maintenance reports
- tomorrow morning.
- Well, that's good news.
Well, let's wait and see.
Captain Banks is flying
in equipment for the dive.
We can set up a live feed.
Great. Next best thing to being there.
Dom's a master diver.
I'm sure that expertise
will come in handy.
I'll let you know when it arrives.
- Sure.
- Um, Kendra?
I've set up interviews with
the rest of the survivors,
all except for Tyler Lupinski,
the kid from the ballast tank.
He's still in and out
of consciousness, so
And the locals and some of the survivors
are going to gather at the
wharf tonight to stand vigil.
I think it'd be nice
if we all went, as well.
Yeah. That's, uh, that's a lovely idea.
- Okay.
- Thanks, Michelle.
Solo! Come here! Look, look!
We're having seafood!
For the last ones
- let's light their way home.
- Thank you for this.
Will you tell me what it
was like down there in the boat?
I thought about you a lot.
Hoping you'd be okay.
When I was little and
we'd make these, remember?
Mm-hmm.
I'd think I was sending them to my dad.
Generations one by one ♪
Ash to ash and dust to dust ♪
There is nothing left undone ♪
So, I will sing you home ♪
I will sing ♪
You home ♪
Dave?
Captain Turner, we need a blanket here.
Are there really that many dead?
Well, we don't have a final number yet.
Wow.
Would you be okay to
talk us through things?
Yeah.
Captain Turner
Why did you leave the bridge?
Oh, we got a call from the engine room.
The boiler was acting up again.
And this is trouble
that had happened before?
Yes. It was supposed to be replaced.
And what did you find when you arrived?
I never got there. I went outside,
across the deck to save time
and I lost hold of the the guide
rope, and then this huge wave came.
You were swept off the
ferry before it sank.
I didn't even know
she went down until
Well, how did you make it to the shore?
Oh, I, um
I grabbed onto something.
I lashed myself to it with my belt.
What did you lash yourself to?
Um, debris. There were these
There were all these boxes
Boxes?
Well, do you know where they came from?
I don't know, but thank
God they were there.
I'm sorry, that was my ship and
She went down without me.
And I should be down there with her.
With the rest of the dead.
Captain Turner, do you
know a former crewmate
by the name of Arlo Shank?
I don't know, I mean
maybe. Vaguely. I don't
I don't fraternize much.
Can we go?
Sure.
We may have some more
questions for you later.
Okay.
Can you try and track down the debris
and see what the captain lashed onto?
Will do. I'm interested
to see what it is.
Everything on the deck would
have been strapped down.
There's no chance it could have
come from another vessel, right?
Slim to none. Like a
lightning bolt on a clear day.
Home away from sweet home, huh.
Yeah.
Why not?
What a night, huh?
This town, it's like
stepping back in time.
Reminds me of the village
my grandfather lived in.
Do you go back there often?
In my dreams.
It teaches me to sail.
How sweet.
Ah, great!
Cole says that the divers
are ready to go down tomorrow.
Cole, huh?
On a first name basis
with Captain Banks, are we?
Aye, aye.
Ellen, I've got Dom here with me,
so I'll put you on
speakerphone. What's up?
How are you two making out up
there? I've never been to Canada.
Are the people as nice
as they say they are?
- Yeah, they are.
- Very polite.
Well, don't get used to it.
We need you back in the States.
Just so you know, that lawsuit against
the UK retrofitters is legit.
But there's one thing
the CEO failed to mention.
- What's that?
- She took out a new
insurance policy on the ferry.
- Recently?
- Two months ago.
Triple the maximum payout.
I haven't seen the policy itself.
Well, can you get it?
You bet. I'll let you know.
All right. Thanks, Ellen.
We're gonna need someone in London
to look into the
retrofitters of the ferry.
Yeah.
- I'm thinking Ziggy.
- Ziggy Renard?
He's good.
Sure.
I'm going to give him a call.
Here, if you're talking to Ziggy,
you're going to need
that more than I do.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you.
- Ziggy! What's up?
- Kendra.
You're not tucked up in bed yet?
Not quite. It's good to hear from you.
Yeah, you too. How's it been?
Never better.
Ah, sorry I haven't been
in touch, by the way.
Well, it's usually a
disaster when you do.
What do you need?
You heard about the Queen
of the Narrows, right?
Just what I've seen on the news.
Ferry goes down that
fast, someone's culpable.
Yeah, look I, uh,
I need someone in London
to look into the UK
side of things for me.
- You up for it?
- Of course I am.
I'd do anything for you. You know that.
Okay, great. I'll get Theo
to update you on everything.
And, hey, Kendra? Sorry about Howard.
I really meant to make
it to the memorial.
Ah, bollocks!
You and I both know how much
you hate funerals, Ziggy.
Yeah. That's right. I'd
rather celebrate life.
You're very good at that, aren't you?
I try.
Well, tell you what, next time I see
you, we'll make a toast to Howard.
- I'll hold you to that.
- You do that.
I'm on it. We'll talk later.
- Bye, Ziggy.
- Cheers.
Sir?
- Hi.
- Officer Hicks.
Are you okay?
Yeah! Um, that's what they tell me.
And you? You okay?
I just keep thinking about that turn.
Queen of the Narrows, this
is Harbour Cove Coast Guard.
Suggest you delay your
turn by 50 kilometres
to avoid the most severe sector.
Thanks. But, uh, Captain's
given us our orders
and we're just going to stick to course.
You did your job, Officer Hicks.
Whatever made that ship sink,
it didn't happen on the
on the bridge. We both know that.
- You weren't on the bridge.
- Keep her on autopilot,
hold her steady until I
get back. That's an order.
Ah, it wouldn't have made
a difference if I was.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
You did You did everything you could.
Go!
Go! Over here!
I'll be right back.
Tyler! Tyler.
- Lily?
- Hi.
I can't believe you're
here. I thought I dreamt it.
No, no, no. I'm here. I'm here.
- My God, are you okay?
- I just need to get my head straight.
They want to take me into
town to get some tests done.
Is that the police?
- Yeah, they're coming!
- We need to go. Come on.
Let's go, let's go. Come on!
You can have everything on file
for the Queen of the
Narrows in 48 hours.
I have to wait two days? Do
you know about the sinking?
I know what happened.
There are procedures.
Richard, right? I'm sure
you've seen the news.
Videos of loved ones trapped below.
Their families waiting by the wharf.
Can you imagine how
much they need answers?
We really can't make exceptions.
No, but you can make
an exception, Richard.
See, if it were just
for me, I'd understand.
But you're telling me that those
people have to keep suffering.
I'll process your request myself.
It will take a couple of hours, though.
Fair enough. I don't mind waiting.
Can I get you a cuppa in the meantime?
- Don't mind going out.
- No. Thanks.
Do you want to fill in a
form for Zelmer Capital, too?
Yes, of course. They sold the ship.
Well, they own the shipyard, too,
where the Queen was worked on.
Is that right?
Someone's been playing some dirty games.
You can call me any time, don't worry.
If I learn anything at all.
Yes, of course. Okay.
I could not do what you do.
Oh Yeah, well, I
can't do what you do.
Tech whiz.
I'm just working with ones
and zeroes and data sets.
I mean, you have to deal
with actual real people.
Why? You think that's harder?
Emotions aren't my strong suit.
Hey, I think you and
I have a mutual friend.
Charlotte Jensen?
Oh. Yeah? You know Charlotte?
Yeah. She and I did training together.
You guys are, um, together, right?
Uh.
We were, but no. No.
- Uh Kendra?
- Yeah?
I just finished running
the decryption software
- on Arlo's website.
- Oh, great. Let's take a look.
Yeah.
Here they are, up and running.
All of these are hyperlinks
to different pages
and all the pages are
about ways to sink a ship.
Hull Breach, Ballast
Failure, Boiler Explosion.
And he's got video footage
from every corridor,
and every room in here. The
boiler room, engine room,
passageways You name it.
We need to go through each
one of them, all right?
We need to know if
Arlo Shank actually knew
how to sink a ship of this size.
Copy that.
Dom. Have you got something?
Yeah. I think I found where
Captain Turner washed up.
- The beach is littered with TVs.
- Um, televisions?
Yeah. Big flat screens, still in
boxes. Must be about a dozen of them.
All right, so Captain
Turner's story checks out?
Yeah, I suppose it does. Question is,
where did these come from?
- Ziggy.
- Kendra! Got my email?
Yeah. I'm looking at it now.
Is this the Queen of the Narrows?
While undergoing a retrofit
at the Green Vision shipyard.
Owned by the same hedge
fund that sold the Queen.
The same hedge fund? Zelmer Capital.
Is that normal for an investment company
to be in the used-ship business?
Everyone stopped actually building ships
in the early '90s, but the demand
- continues to rise, yeah?
- So there's big business
in repairing used
ships and selling them?
Huge profits. Companies
that don't know their bow
from their stern are
getting in on the action.
Zelmer sold almost a hundred
vessels in the last three years.
All right, well, let's
give them a closer look.
- Let me know what you find.
- Cheers.
She'll be with you in just a minute.
Mr. Renard. Welcome.
Linda Halley, Executive Vice
President of Special Operations.
Very special operations, I'm sure.
Pretty fancy offices you've
got here for ship flippers.
Well, I'm not sure I'm
familiar with that term.
I'm sorry. It's an informal way
of describing companies
that buy old ships,
tart them up and sell
them off for profit.
Yes, well,
we tart them up quite a bit.
Everything here is top of the line.
We'll do whatever we can to help you.
Alexa here will put together the files,
all of the work that was done
to the vessel ahead of the sale,
upgrades, improvements,
the new safety features.
She'll forward everything
to you as soon as possible.
That's wonderful. Thank you.
If you have any questions, I'm here.
Thank you for your time.
Was that a brush off, you think?
I hear no evil and I see no evil.
- It's kind of our company motto.
- Hm. Alexa, right?
That's right.
Ziggy Renard.
Didn't properly
introduce myself earlier.
Renard Like the fox?
So they say.
Cute.
Look, can I buy you a drink?
Strictly business.
I I don't think so.
Oh, well that's all right.
Thank you for your time.
- Yes?
- Well, they've put up
too much security around the building.
I won't be able to get inside.
Just come back. I need you here.
If you say so.
- Hello?
- Hello.
Now you have my number.
Now I do.
Folks, we are in motion.
Theo, fire up the big screen.
- The dive's happening right now?
- Team's in the water.
- Have they reached the wreck?
- Almost at depth right now.
- There it is.
- They'll circle the perimeter before approaching.
Looks like she landed pretty
heavily on starboard?
That's where the black boxes would be.
It's trapped under the ferry.
Against solid bedrock.
35k of tonnage on that?
It'd be completely destroyed.
Boilers on the port
side, coming around now.
There's no hole from the boiler room.
It seems like there's
there's no breach at all.
- So, it wasn't an explosion.
- At least not there.
If there was damage to the
hull, it must be at the bow.
We're coming to the bow right now.
What's that?
Those are the car bay
doors. They're open.
If they were open like
that, during that storm
That would've been enough
to sink the ship right there.
Why would they be open?
What the hell happened on there?
How much water is going to come in
through a massive opening like that?
I'll have an exact answer for that soon.
The real question is why are
they open in the first place?
Possibly a malfunction
during the crossing.
Not much to malfunction.
Doors like this?
A single button
activates the hydraulics.
And it has to be activated
from the car deck with a key.
Did Arlo have car bay doors opening
as one of the ways to sink the ferry?
Ah, yeah. It was on his website.
He even had video
footage of it. Um here.
Yeah, so he's going
through a crew passageway,
then a service corridor
and then into the car bay.
Ah, here it is. Here, here,
here. Wait! Uh there!
Control panel.
Ah, he continues forward and into
Yeah, there are the car bay doors.
So, we've got this guy's footage.
What we don't have is
surveillance cameras down there.
Yeah. And no one's
allowed on the car deck
during the crossing, so
there won't be any witnesses.
Uh, actually, we might have a witness.
Tyler Lupinski?
The boy that was saved.
- He was in the car deck.
- Please don't tell anyone.
I promise you can talk to me.
- We just didn't have any money.
- You snuck on?
- I left him in the car deck.
- I was going to tell you, but
Ah, yeah. Kendra Malley from the FTSA.
Can I speak to a Tyler Lupinski, please?
Right. Thank you.
He's gone.
We need to find him.
It's okay. We'll find him.
Go for Urgessa.
Hi, yeah. It's Kendra
Malley. I needed a favour.
The teenage boy rescued
from the ballast tank
has disappeared from triage.
Well, send me his name.
I'll put out a bulletin.
You know, I was just about to call you.
- What's up?
- Well
Remember my missing smuggler?
It would seem he turned
up in a fisher's net.
Yeah, bodies are going
to be turning up for days,
- weeks even.
- Well, true enough.
Only this one's got two
bullet holes in his chest.
Nobody ever listens to me, Solo.
Sometimes, it takes a guy like me
to make people understand.
Help!
Help!
Great, now we have a man
on board who had a gun.
I think the husband knows
more than he's letting on.
Theo, what do we got? Cheers.
It looks like this
Styrofoam's been tampered with.
It's been cut up and
then glued back together?
Well, let's open one
up and see what we got.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! What is that?
What was that? Kendra!
