Departure (2019) s03e06 Episode Script

What Lies Beneath

Previously on Departure
What's all this stuff on him?
- Can't identify half of it.
- And what about the rig?
Do you think maybe it does
look a little bit like wings?
Kendra, you know that ship the
Zelmer assistant tipped me to?
The Lyon? Turns out Zelmer took
that seriously damaged ship,
patched it up with some
cheap steel and resold it.
- Oh, shit!
- Ziggy?
They traced Ziggy's
phone to a container yard
in the dock yards.
There was an explosion.
I'm so sorry, Kendra.
Ziggy was definitely onto something.
Lyon on the left, Queen of
the Narrows on the right.
They're both similar.
What if they're the exact same ship?
- We would need to prove it.
- These right here.
It's a signature, like a thumbprint.
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.
Let's see if we can get a
clear shot of that propeller.
Wait. Wait What's that?
Looks like an enormous gash.
The situation is under control.
Is it? 'Cause I believe
we have a couple of threats right now.
So, this is the footage
that you took, right?
Yeah. It's as good as I could get.
And this is the video that
the Navy divers took, right?
Yeah. It's a survey of the
wreck that Banks organized.
Hey, Theo.
Pause it right there.
- That's what we saw, right?
- Yeah.
And this one?
Wait
Pause it there, Theo. Look! Look.
That's the same spot on the hull, right?
Look, the 45 marker.
- The porthole?
- Yeah. Absolutely.
But that's not possible, right?
We watched them shoot this footage live.
Yeah.
But did we?
Pentagon is sending us
top-of-the-line equipment
for the dive survey of the hull.
- Ah, that's great.
- Won't be here 'til tomorrow,
but it's worth the wait.
Or was that a lie?
So they could shoot this and
then have the time to doctor it.
You mean, like, digitally
paint over the holes
so that they could present
it as if it was a livestream?
But why? Why didn't
they want us to see this?
I have no idea.
But Banks has been lying
to us from the start.
You guys are up early!
Just out for a run.
- Saw the light on.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we were just looking
at the shoddy repair work
- to the hull.
- Yeah.
Trying to see if we could find evidence
that the Queen is actually the Lyon.
Right. Oh, good.
This team never gives up.
We all trusted him.
It wasn't just you.
That internet video of the dead,
the Navy must've shot that too.
Footage from the ferry went viral.
Tomorrow morning,
they're sending unmanned
underwater vehicles to
make sure no one dives
until every victim has been
brought up and sent home.
I mean, to trigger the moratorium
on diving to the wreck to
to stop us from seeing the gash.
Yeah. And the stabilizer key
that we found with Arlo's stuff?
- How do you explain that?
- We need to go back to the island,
see if we can find that duffle bag.
- I'll send a team.
- No, that was Banks' team
that recovered that evidence.
Arlo denied it from the start.
All right. We need to know exactly
what happened before we confront Banks.
Really? We're going
to take on the US Navy.
How?
The paper evidence is destroyed.
There is no connection between Zelmer
and that shipping container, so we
No.
Yes.
Understood.
You were pretty cryptic on the phone.
What's going on?
Look, I need you to get
me everything you can
from the pathologist on the dead
diver without raising red flags.
Red flags?
Even if he wasn't a
passenger on the ferry,
who's going to care if you
take a look at the path report?
Please, Shakir.
Can we keep this just between us?
Does this have anything to do
with the US agents talking to Arlo?
- Agents?
- Yeah.
They're looking into charging
him under the terrorist act.
So, if Arlo is convicted
He'll spend the rest of
his life in a US prison.
- I'm on it.
- Thanks.
I didn't kill anybody.
I just tried to warn people.
That's all.
Right.
You can stick to that story.
But we both know what you did.
So why don't you take
some responsibility,
protect those you love.
What?
What do you mean?
Protect who?
Your mother, Arlo.
It was her credit card that
purchased the cell phone
you used to make the threats.
That makes her an
accessory to mass murder.
No. No, you No, you can't do that.
No.
It's not fair.
That's not fair.
It's not up to me, Arlo.
It's up to you.
Things have changed.
You need to head back to Canada.
Okay.
Multiple theories have
emerged around the sinking
of the Queen of the Narrows.
But after seven days
into the investigation,
Arlo Shank's link to the tragedy
still remains the strongest case
Here. You should eat something.
- What's this?
- Estofado de pescado.
Fish stew.
- Oh.
- My mother's recipe.
It's spicy?
Don't worry. I toned it down.
It's, uh, it's Tyler's favourite.
Thanks for this.
Thank you for taking me in.
Ah, it's nice having you here.
With everything going on with Arlo, I
I'm not sure I'll ever
have him home again.
You have to hope, though.
That's what I do.
- Hey, Dom.
- Did you get the photo I sent?
Can you ID any of the devices?
Some, yes.
Mask attachment is for long-range
underwater communication.
Israeli in origin, but used by
intelligence agencies around the world,
and private contractors, of course.
Right. Hired guns.
As you know, any one
with the cash can buy
espionage services these days.
Now, the laser cutter is out of the UK.
And the rest is a mystery, but
definitely state of the art.
But nothing you can see that would
be used for setting explosives?
Not as far as I can tell.
All right. Thanks, Tabatha.
Let me know when you're back in town.
I'm free if you are.
Will do.
Thanks.
In breaking news,
Arlo Shank has admitted
he intentionally sank
the Queen of the Narrows
after sending Garrison Sealine threats.
That's that's not true.
That's not It's not true.
Arlo never did that.
Why would he confess?
I don't understand.
- This is all my fault.
- What do you mean?
Ah it's the hospital.
They say you should come.
Oh my gosh. Tyler.
Tyler.
It's okay. It's okay. It's all right.
Godspeed.
Thank you.
Just tidying up loose threads here.
Yes, sir. Absolutely. Will do.
What loose threads?
You just forced an innocent man
to throw his life away. What's next?
Going to make sure
there's no other leaks.
And if there are?
You enjoy this work, don't you?
You know what's at stake here.
Hey! Hey, Annie, hold up!
I'm heading out to fish.
'Bout time I got back to it.
Just wait a minute.
Listen, you've gotta stay away
from the secure area. Hear me?
Why would I want to go back out there?
I don't know, Annie.
But there was reports of a boat
out on the water last night.
Sounded an awful lot like yours.
What I do on my boat is my business.
And I'd like to get back to it.
Annie Sullivan?
Need you to come with us,
answer a few questions.
And I need to get back out on the water.
I'm afraid I have to insist.
Hey! Why don't you show some ID?
I'm with the Harbour Cove Coast Guard.
And I'm in charge of securing
the wreck after you failed.
Ah. US intelligence.
Well, smart enough to know
you got no authority here.
You wanna tell that guy
to get out of the way?
I don't think you want to make trouble.
Get to know me.
I'll prove you wrong.
That's your grandfather's boat, right?
He entrusted it to you on his death bed.
How do you know that?
Along with all of Harbour Cove.
I can scuttle that boat
this afternoon, Annie.
Put it right alongside that ferry.
You don't want to cause any trouble.
You just want to ask
me things, is that it?
Won't take long.
Hey!
Hey, Banks!
I'm talking to you.
Your men had no right to
haul in Annie Sullivan.
They're not my men,
but I'll talk to them.
Ah, she's got more right to be
out on that water than any of us.
Are you going to be a
problem, Commander Crawford?
Do I need to contact your superiors?
- No, sir.
- Good.
Then we understand each other.
What were you doing at the site?
You ask the same questions
and expect a different answer.
Don't they say that's
a sign of insanity?
Who was with you on the vessel?
The spirit of my brother.
And I'd watch out for him if I were you.
This isn't a game, Sullivan.
Well, that's good for
you 'cause you're losing.
Oh yeah?
What if I brought
your friend Jessica in?
You don't like that idea.
Do you think she'll give
me a different story?
I think she's mourning the
death of hundreds of people,
including the guy she loved.
People like you rub me the wrong way.
- People like me?
- Self-righteous liars.
That's not where I thought
you were going with that.
Get comfortable.
Anything?
Thought you didn't want to know.
Cut the cowboy bullshit.
Has your team recovered anything?
Did you locate the hard drive?
We're not leaving this
goddamn island until you do.
They're looking as we speak.
Every diver we got is
searching the ferry site.
How much time do we have left?
If you can believe the
messaging, six hours,
based on the intel we have.
Did you hear the news?
Arlo confessed.
Under duress, no doubt.
Yeah. I never thought he'd
be one to sign his life away.
It's Terri-Lynn.
They've taken Annie
in for questioning now.
She's in trouble because of us.
'Cause of what we asked her to do.
She won't say anything.
So, what do we do now?
Do we go public?
You know, take our
allegations to the press?
No. I think we've only got one choice.
You shouldn't have come here.
Why would you do this?
Hm?
I know you didn't sink that ferry.
You know it, too. Why confess?
They said they'd charge
you if I didn't sign.
So, let 'em charge me!
Like I'd do that.
They want to railroad me, fine.
I'm not letting them make
up some story about threats
to Garrison and pinning it on you.
But I did it!
I sent those threats.
It's true.
- Mom. No.
- Listen.
No one would listen to you.
I saw the pain you were suffering,
so I dug up that old phone and I
I was so angry. I knew
they'd fired you, Arlo.
The news was all over
town. I just pretended,
so to spare you, but I never thought
what I did could lead to this, son.
I am so sorry. You have to believe it.
All right. Time's up.
No. No, no, no. You
can't take him to prison!
He's innocent. He is only here
- because of what I did.
- Margery. Settle down.
- Settle down.
- No, I'm telling you the truth!
I understand you're upset.
Don't listen to a word she says.
Hey.
- Arlo.
- I confessed.
Arlo, this isn't the way to do
this. Tell them that you lied.
- Margery.
- He's lying!
- No, this is all my fault.
- I'll see you home, Margery.
- This is not helping anyone!
- Darling, please!
- I'll take you home.
- Tell them. Jesus.
Jesus, Arlo!
Everything pertaining to
the Shank investigation
needs to be separated and
prepared for discovery.
Congratulations.
I heard the news about Shank.
Yeah. Thank you.
We're halfway there.
You mean with Zelmer?
You'll bring those bastards down.
I have no doubt.
Well, we'll continue that
investigation from D.C.
Really? Good. Excellent.
Well, was great to work with you.
Thanks for making me feel
like part of the team.
Sure.
Yeah, you were a great help.
Hope we meet again.
Oh, Dom.
You don't happen to know
anything about Annie Sullivan's
trip to the site last night, do you?
No.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Only that she's been
detained for questioning.
Think he's buying it?
I'm not sure.
We're in the clear. Everyone's gone.
- We're not giving up, are we?
- No, we're not.
But we're making them think we are.
Till we find something
solid, which we haven't.
Diver's pathology
report just came through.
Jada's saviour didn't drown.
His lungs were clear.
But he did have a very
high level of nitrogen
in his bloodstream.
- What, so he died of the bends?
- Yeah.
Coming up too fast from great depth.
But if he was alive to save Jada
then he must have been there before,
deep in the ocean, below
the ferry before it sank.
But what would he have
been doing down there?
Well, what's on the ocean
floor near where the ferry sank?
Uh, the Grand Banks.
It's a pretty massive
underwater mountain range.
And there's a canyon.
There'd be a lot of strong
currents ripping through there.
Hang on a minute. What's
What's that yellow line
near where the ferry sank?
Uh, it's a transatlantic internet cable.
Um, that's how internet information
is transported between continents.
I always thought it went via satellite.
A common misconception.
It's all hardwired.
Undersea cables are how the
worldwide web became worldwide.
And those cables are comprised
of fibre-optic threads.
What are you thinking, Dom?
Theo, how do fibre-optics work?
Uh, encoded data is transported
through fibre strands
via pulses of light.
And how would you tap into
that cable to steal information?
Bending the strands, letting
the light pulses escape.
That's what that device is for!
So the diver was tapping
into transatlantic cables?
- Exactly.
- Yes, but how did the diver get there?
Fifty miles off the
coast of Newfoundland
in the middle of a raging
storm. No one spots him.
Couldn't have done it in a small boat.
There's only one way.
How?
Submarine.
I think we just figured
out why the Navy covered
that hole in the ship.
Their submarine must
have hit that ferry.
Take her in late tonight, Captain.
Cover of darkness.
And get those repairs done quickly.
Copy that.
They found it?
No.
But they found this.
A drone.
We pulled the data card.
They've seen the hull.
They know what we've done.
Leave it to me. I'll take care of them.
You sure about that?
I said leave it to me.
Yes, sir.
If a submarine hit the
Queen of the Narrows
while it was surfacing, it
would explain all of this.
Yeah. The bang, the hole in the hull,
the speed at which the ferry sank.
Combined with Zelmer's
shoddy repairs, yes.
So, the car bay doors had
nothing to do with this.
Or the stabilizers, right?
Why would a submarine surface
straight into a passenger ferry, though?
That can't have been intentional.
Okay. Uh, what if it was
like an internal wave,
like a an underwater
tsunami? They're not unheard of.
I mean, the currents
were so strong that night.
And you factor in the storm.
What if it pushed the sub up
and thrust it into the hull of the ship?
Yeah. I mean, this all
explains the accident.
But what it doesn't explain
is why were people left there to die.
I mean, whatever happened
that night to the submarine,
it could have still surfaced.
The crew could've saved anyone
that made it alive into the water.
It's hundreds of preventable deaths.
All those people could have been saved?
Exactly. So why weren't they?
Why didn't Banks respond immediately?
Why did he wait for the mayday?
Because he didn't
want anyone to find out
they were hacking that internet cable.
Yeah, we're not talking
some rogue agency activity.
This is two naval captains.
This is a sanctioned illegal operation.
There's almost nothing they
wouldn't do to cover this up.
Well, whatever the reasons,
Banks waited on his
ship while people died.
And if he's capable
of doing that, then
What else could he be up to?
Okay, so, we can't prove
the sub hit the ferry, right?
Not without diving again,
which is they've made it impossible.
What are we going to do?
Well, we can't go to
the press without proof.
What is that?
That's a diver tote cable.
Looks like it's broken.
What would that be used for?
Oh, it'd be to secure
something to his body
while he was diving.
Hard drive.
You're absolutely right.
That's what would be
used if you were tapping
into an internet cable.
You would collect the data
on a hard drive like this.
And then you would decode it
when you got to the surface.
- Looks heavy.
- Yeah.
It would have to hold a lot of data.
Heavy enough to break
free during a frantic,
rapid ascent to the surface?
And the diver was saving Jada.
Then Annie must have those coordinates.
She was the one to find her.
Look, if I'm right, it
could still be down there.
Right around where Jada was rescued.
Whatever they were looking
for, it's on their hard drive.
It's a bargaining chip
just waiting to be found.
It's Lily.
She wants me to come meet her.
- Go. It's okay.
- Okay. Thank you.
So what do we do now?
We have to get back.
It's Cole.
Cole.
Kendra, I think I've found
something. Can we meet?
That's great news. Yeah, sure. Where?
I'll send you a pin.
All right. I'll see you there.
I should go with you.
I know, but we need to get the evidence.
Okay.
I'll dive for the hard drive.
I'll stall for time.
He's dangerous.
Dom.
Hey. I need your help.
We need to find Terri-Lynn and
get some information from her.
Jess told me everything.
I'm here to help.
You sure those coordinates are correct?
Yeah, I tracked all
the boats that night.
Annie checked in when
she picked up Jada.
What about the motion detectors?
They won't pick you up down there.
Well, we're 300 metres north
and they are facing the ferry.
We should be all right.
I'll track you on the radar.
I'll let you know if
anything's headed your way.
Good luck.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
I hope I can still be of service here.
The search and rescue was over.
What are you offering?
The nearly unlimited resources
of the United States Navy.
Since the control panel key
was found in Arlo Shank's possession.
Obviously, Shank's your guy.
What's wrong?
Somebody dove down to the ferry,
filmed the bodies and posted it online.
Well, how long will it
take to recover the bodies?
Weeks. Months, maybe.
Until then, no one goes near the wreck.
We're at the coordinates.
Look, it's 150-feet deep, okay?
- You can't be down there long.
- It won't take long.
Take this rope.
- Tug on it every three minutes.
- Okay.
If there's no response,
you go back to shore.
Kendra.
Captain Banks.
Everything all right?
Yeah, is there a reason it shouldn't be?
Well, my team found
something really interesting.
You did an illegal survey of the hull.
Yeah. I did.
And now, I'm going to
tell the whole world
what really sank the
Queen of the Narrows.
Well, I can't let you do that.
You have to keep the accident a secret.
Or what?
You're going to have me killed?
There is a lot at stake here.
A lot more than leaving
hundreds of innocent people
in the water to die?
Kendra
- This can't get out.
- Why?
'Cause people might find out
you were tapping that internet cable?
How do you know about the cable tap?
Who else knows?
What are you hiding, Cole?
You think the faces of
the dead don't haunt me
every minute of every day?
The bodies floating in the water.
- The children.
- Oh, I hope they do.
For the sake of those
mourning their loss,
I hope they never stop.
They won't.
Neither will the thousands
I also failed to save.
Yeah What thousands?
The information we were after that night
that should've spared
their lives is lost
at the bottom of the sea.
What information?
We got intel about a cyber attack
targeting a nuclear power
plant on American soil.
A ransom-ware attack?
Hackers are going to
cause a core meltdown
in one of the hundred
reactors across the country.
- A Chernobyl-like disaster.
- Yes. But we don't know where.
And we can't let the terrorists
know that we're onto them.
Or they'll trigger the software
before you get a chance to defuse it.
That's why I had to keep
the accident covered up,
why I couldn't let the sub surface.
And you know as well as I do
that that ferry should've
listed for hours.
I had no idea so many people would die.
That's, uh
that's probably on Zelmer.
I'm trusting you with
this information, Kendra.
I don't know if we can stop the attack,
but we have to keep trying.
You mean, there's still a chance?
The diver you found
was supposed to have a hard drive
with the information we were
looking for attached to him,
but
It's a long shot,
but we might know
where the hard drive is.
Come on.
Dom!
They found it.
Get down!
Stay right there!
Finally.
The famous Kendra Malley.
I don't believe we've met.
I knew one of your colleagues.
Bit of a troublemaker.
You killed Ziggy.
He just got in the way.
But you're not going to
get in the way, are you?
You kill me, my team will
be even more determined
to bring you down.
Well, I'm willing to
roll the dice with that.
Once I've leaked the information
that your Navy friend
here has just spilled.
You do that, thousands of
people are going to die.
Nobody's going to
care about shoddy steel
when they find out about a submarine
that killed all those people.
You all right?
You okay?
Get that hard drive.
Dom. Dom, listen. You need to take
that hard drive to the Alameda.
They know what to do,
okay? But take it now!
So, what are you going
to tell the press?
The truth.
Do the survivors know?
No.
They know they're getting
answers later today.
Yeah, but they don't know what they are.
Oh God.
Hey.
How's the arm?
I've had worse.
Just wanted to thank you both.
Retrieving that drive saved thousands.
Now, time to face the music.
There's likely to be a
Congressional Committee
looking into your actions that night.
My responsibility.
I'll accept the consequences.
It's the price of command.
You made the only decision
you could that night.
You take care, Cole.
Good luck.
There's no way we're
taking a ferry home.
You can't stay scared forever.
Yeah, I think I can, actually.
At least until we know
what sank this ship.
Hey!
You're Nina, right?
Tyler! Oh!
Oh my God!
This is the young man that
Susan saved in the ballast tank.
He says he remembers her
holding him out of the water.
Wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here.
- Your mom's a hero.
- Lily!
- Hi!
- Hey!
Wow! Look who's up and
out of the hospital.
Yeah. Doing good.
I'm Theo, by the way, I've
heard so much about you guys.
Ah, I've heard so much about you, too!
Hi! Sweetheart.
How are you?
Miss?
The FTSA is on line one.
Says it's urgent.
Linda Halley here.
Hi. This is, uh, Kendra Malley.
I believe that you knew my
late colleague, Ziggy Renard?
The investigator, right?
Yes, I believe I met him once.
I read about the accident, as well.
It's tragic.
Yeah, I'm sure the pain
is really killing you.
I just heard that one of your employees
was shot last night and detained?
I have no idea who you're referring to.
Oh, don't worry. I
just sent you an email.
I suggest that you open it.
Now, you see the heavy bag
that your employee McCaully is carrying?
Well, notice how light
it is on his way out.
Murder by arson comes to mind.
See, the fire department
found a military-grade capsule
with a timer attached to it
and a receipt for their purchase
made by your employee McCaully.
I have no idea what
you might be suggesting.
I'm suggesting that you
better hire a damn good lawyer,
Miss Halley, because
I'm not going to stop
until I have brought
your entire company down
and all the shoddy vessels off the sea!
They're here to question you
about my friend Ziggy's murder.
But rest assured, I'm going
to still work on the other 300.
Have a nice day, Linda.
Arlo.
You were right all along.
Thank you.
I should be thanking you.
You gonna stop them?
These Zelmer people?
'Cause you gotta.
You don't have to worry
about them anymore, Arlo.
Okay?
Good.
Take care.
Yeah.
Good.
Hey! Look who it is.
- Hey. You two heading out?
- Yeah, later today.
I don't know how you got me sprung,
but I have a feeling I
don't know the whole story.
I promise you you'll both
have the answers shortly.
I've given up on things
making sense a long time ago.
So, uh, are you going
to go back to Garrison
once they've purchased a new ship?
Not yet. I'm, uh
I think I need a little
bit of time to process.
Ah, Annie actually
hired me for the season,
so I think I'm just
going to start there.
It's been a real
honour to know you both.
Likewise.
Hey.
You've never been out
there before, have you?
I've never had the chance.
Well, don't you want to?
Give the Queen a chance
to say her thanks.
Come on, let's do it, then.
Before the tide changes!
Jess'll take the wheel.
Posh, why don't you cast us off?
On it, Captain!
