Previously on Departure.
There's been an incident.
A nine-five-oh has disappeared over the Atlantic.
Wife in London, husband in Dublin; kids with both.
Makes me suicidal just saying it.
Aviation is the only industry where a man with a box-cutter
can put a halt on billions in revenue.
Bartok.
A douchebag that made millions off of Flight 716 going down.
Do you believe that?
I don't know.
You're Richard's gay sex fling.
Excuse me?
I was Richard's husband. We were together for over 12 years.
When are you going to tell me what really happened to my dad?
Harold Rossi. Real name is Hassan Esmaili.
He had a lot of hours piloting military and commercial jets.
There it is. Depth is 1-3-2-0.
- Isn't that beyond threshold? - Lieutenant, you're too deep.
I think I can make it.
- No! - The submersible's imploded.
Now there's no chance the black boxes can be recovered now.
Dom?
I sent you a video. Take a look.
How is this possible?
Yeah.
Nurse! I need a nurse!
I should've stopped him!
I should Stopped him? Stopped who? Who's she talking about?
She was delirious, and the crash team showed up.
I couldn't get an answer out of her.
Yeah, but if she's confessing to something she did or she didn't do,
she's still in the suspect category.
Nadia, this isn't gonna bring him back.
You think I'm watching this out of guilt?
You can see how the fuselage has shifted.
It's closer to the edge.
And if it falls, we're going to lose the flight recorders.
How much time have we got?
My guess is two, maybe three days.
Bollocks.
Look, there's a company laying cable in the area.
They have a sub. Bartok International.
No. Bad idea.
Kendra, there's nothing else in range.
- A.J.! - Come on.
- I changed my mind; I don't want to do this anymore. - Come on!
Bartok's really powerful. They could arrest us, okay?
They could take my passport away.
Start filming!
Let's go. A.J., let's go!
I thought you wanted to take this bastard down, yes?
No, I didn't mean this--
Wait, one second.
Screw this, okay? I'm... I'm getting out of here.
I don't want trouble.
A.J. A.J.! Go! Go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Go, go, go, go! Go!
The Secretary of State for Transport has assured the public
that there is no need to ground the Windsor 950 fleet.
Experts warn that that may change
if there's another incident involving the same type of aircraft.
Are we any closer to knowing whom Madelyn Strong wanted to stop?
Not yet. Intelligence teams have been at it all night, Howard.
Well, I need progress.
Then maybe you should get us another sub.
If we retrieve those flight recorders,
our chances of solving the crash,
well, it improves immeasurably.
But without them--
Without them we have less than 10% chance of success.
Well, fine, I'll go begging for a sub.
Did this leak about the pilot come from your team?
Howard.
Look, we don't know that it was a leak;
might just be the tabloid press doing what they do.
I'm not blaming you.
You just did, Howard.
The passengers are canceling their flights.
The Saudis' big order for 950 jets
will go down the shitter if we don't clear this.
Not my concern, Howard.
Look, I don't like this either.
But we must keep the Prime Minister's confidence.
Be mindful, that's all I say.
Thanks, Betty.
Hey, Kendra. Sorry you had to work all night.
I was up pretty late, too,
so I'm gonna go back to bed for a bit. Talk later.
Hi, sweetheart.
Look, give me a call when you wake up, okay?
I'll try and be back as soon as I can tonight. Love you.
I can come back.
No, no. It's fine. Come in. What have you got?
Medical records of Harold Rossi,
aka our friend, Hassan Esmaili.
His blood type is O positive.
So it does match the unidentified blood on the raft.
But we're not going to be able to get a definitive match
until we get a sample of his DNA.
Yeah. That spook from Mossad promised that he'd get it for me yesterday.
But leave it with me, I'll get on the phone to him.
Well, I can handle it. You've got enough on your plate.
Dealt with Ari before.
Okay. Thanks.
Rag and Bone. Nice.
What's your take on this, Levi?
Well, Madelyn Strong's trauma
is both physical and psychological.
And she's on max doses of pain meds.
So, you think this could just be drug-induced rambling?
That, and survivor's guilt, probably.
Anything in her background to suggest a link to a motive?
No, not yet.
You know, I think my time would be best spent concentrating on the pilot.
You need to do both. Theo?
Right. Uh, based on the fact that both the transponder and the ACARS system failed,
we're looking at the possibility of a fire.
But you are concentrating on the area below the cockpit?
Why there?
The avionics bay.
Uh, a short in the electronic system
would explain why the transponder cut out immediately.
Unless the pilot turned it off.
Kendra, it would help
if we could prioritize a working theory.
Look, we have to follow every lead, vigorously and without prejudice.
It's Dom. Madelyn's waking up.
Well, I agree with you, Levi.
I think we're floundering without a working theory.
Where's the data, Ari?
I have the DNA file that you want.
But first I want an assurance
that the name 'Hassan Esmaili' will stay secret.
We'll keep it quiet.
That doesn't mean that we believe
that your so-called retired agent wasn't involved.
He was not involved.
What makes you so sure?
The fact that he supplied us with valuable intel for 20 years.
The fact that his brother was murdered by the Revolutionary Guard.
Loyalties can shift over time, Ari.
If it is revealed that Hassan Esmaili was on the plane alive,
Tehran will become suspicious. They will go over his entire life,
including everyone he ever worked with.
Like I said, we'll keep it under wraps.
Good. What leads do you have?
- You first. - Always the slippery one, Ms. Freeh?
If it turns out to be terrorism,
you'll be the first to know, Ari.
I like it.
Find out who did it, just the same.
Lidia.
Doctor Brown, call 4-9-9. Doctor Brown...
Can you talk, Madelyn?
We're not the police, Maddy.
We're just trying to figure out what happened.
It's to help the families.
Do you remember saying that you should've stopped him?
Who is it that you should've stopped?
Maddy?
Moses.
It was Moses.
Who's Moses?
Maddy?
Who's Moses?
Moses. We need to check passenger lists, airport crew,
staff, BGA employees-- first name, last name, nickname,
code name. Whoever this Moses is, we have to find them.
Harold Rossi's DNA's being tested against the blood on the raft.
Okay, great. And where are we with Donovan's psych assessment?
Have you seen the news?
They've closed Heathrow.
BGA Flight 8234, bound for Warsaw,
was forced to return to London.
Another incident with a 9-5-0.
Civil Aviation Authority has grounded all departures
until the crisis is resolved.
We must find some answers to restore their confidence.
We're on it, Howard.
Look: we just got a lead from Madelyn Strong.
Moses? We haven't established if that's real,
or just the ramblings of a brain-damaged survivor.
That's a bit harsh, isn't it, Janet?
Oh, just make some progress, please.
Okay. What are we looking at?
The entertainment system.
The geniuses who installed it decided to
bolt it to the only available space left and--
- It's very close to the ACARS system. - That's right.
And a fire in the entertainment system
could've knocked them both out.
Right. I mean, in an older aircraft,
brittle wires could have a short-circuit...
- Yeah, but it was a new aircraft. - Okay.
You're thinking it's...
you're thinking it's dodgy thermal lining?
Watch this.
Careful.
I mean, this stuff was...
This stuff was banned five minutes after it was introduced.
You have 250 people, all watching movies.
The hard drive's going to heat up and then... poof!
A small fire turns into a big problem.
Yeah. The 950's entertainment unit
is made by a company called VS Systems.
All right. Dom and I will check it out.
While this morning's incident does not appear to be
mechanical in nature, both Canada and Australia...
The USA and Europe could be next,
unless the TSIB investigation into Flight 716 shows
that the problems with the aircraft are not systemic.
"We've got so much turbulence, I'm frightened."
"The power went out for a second.
Plane seems to be having problems.
Something's really wrong up here."
I don't know how you can read that.
Well, that is my job.
Anything on Moses?
Well, Madelyn Strong once liked
an Instagram photo of a Chihuahua named Moses.
What about our pilot, Richard Donovan?
'Cause he seems like a right nutter.
Definitely a sociopath,
judging by all the lies he told to live his double life.
Seems a hell of a lot more likely than our girl in the hospital.
Who gets the insurance?
His wife and daughter in London.
So nothing for the new baby in Dublin?
I'll look into that.
We can control the heart arrhythmia.
It's the trauma close to her sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae...
She's a fighter.
Stay positive, for sure,
but statistically injuries of this sort...
Any chance she'll walk, she'll walk.
Trust me, Doc.
All right.
- What if she doesn't? - She will.
And her in a wheelchair and you at a dance club.
How's that going to work?
We're getting married, Derek.
And if you want to be the one to walk her down the aisle,
you best shut your mouth.
Can you call VS and tell them I'm running late?
Okay, thanks.
Spoke to Nadia. She's taking the diver's death pretty hard.
Who is that man?
- You want me to call it in? - No, it's okay.
The results have come back on the DNA from Hassan Esmaili.
And?
They don't match the blood on the raft.
How... how about a match
with any of the other DNA samples we collected?
Well, out of the 255 victims,
we've obtained 175 profiles,
none of which match the DNA on the raft. Sorry.
All right. Well, thanks for letting us know.
It's like we're in a maze.
Are you afraid of my driving
because of the crash with your husband?
Who said I was afraid?
I'm Levi Holl. How may I help you?
Captain Stephen Littlefield.
I met with Richard Donovan in New York
the night before the disappearance.
God help me, I think he crashed that plane on purpose.
Kendra has joined the call.
I first met Captain Donovan
when we were both serving in Afghanistan.
Rick was, well, he was already halfway to becoming a legend.
He dropped so much ordnance.
The bastards didn't know whether to shit or become postmen.
Bit of a hotshot.
Every man's a god at 50,000 feet.
Well, that kind of combat duty can have impact.
Okay, I see where you're going with that, and yes,
some of the men did suffer from PTSD, but not Rick.
Were you surprised that Donovan left behind a male partner?
Yeah. What of it?
Everybody knew he was a bit bent; it wasn't an issue.
So, did you arrange to meet Donovan in New York that night?
No, we just... we bumped into one another at Marley's.
That's a place... A lot of pilots drink there.
And how much alcohol did he consume?
Well, he was well within 'bottle to the throttle' limits.
- That's not my point. - Which is?
The Rick Donovan I knew...
he was unflappable.
Fellow I met that night was falling apart at the seams.
- Distressed? Anxious? - Oh, yeah. Times ten.
And did he explicitly talk about suicide?
Not in so many... He said...
He said, "Maybe it would be better for everyone if I just disappeared."
- Disappeared like the plane? - You know: better off dead.
I'm sorry, a fellow pilot tells you that he's better off dead
and you don't think to report it?
I know the damn protocol.
What you don't understand is what a call like that
can do to a person's life.
Look, pilots can lead complicated lives,
but we leave our shit on the tarmac.
- You compartmentalize. - Exactly. And, quite frankly,
I'd had a little bit too much to drink myself that night
and I didn't want to do anything rash. Well...
I've got to live with that now.
Well, thank you, uh, captain Littlefield.
Uh, Levi will take you to sign your statement.
Very good.
He's gone.
We need to execute those warrants
to search both Donovan properties as soon as we can.
Yeah. And let's get confirmation on Littlefield's story.
I'll contact the FBI and make sure he really was in New York.
Okay. Good. Oh, Howard?
I want to be there when the warrants get executed.
Of course. Well, any... any more questions? No?
No. I'm good. Thanks.
Looks like pilot suicide just became our number one working theory.
Yep.
So why the hell are we driving all the way to Cambridge
to check out the world's shittiest thermal lining?
Because we need to follow every lead, vigorously and without prejudice?
Heard about that, did you?
Come check this out before I post it.
So what's with the suitcase?
I'm, uh, I'm gonna take off, A.J.
Oh, come on!
I apologized for last night already. I...
Yeah, and obviously you didn't mean it, so...
What are you-what are you so mad about?
I-I thought we were in this together?
I said Bartok was a criminal.
I never said vandalize his plane.
What if we'd gotten caught, a.J.?
Well, we didn't.
Don't touch my phone. No, don't--
You think I don't know
you're texting that guy you met at the Tate?
It's not your business.
It is my business. Where're you going?
I came here to have fun, a.J.
I didn't expect you were going to go all gangster on me!
Anonymous just discovered that Bartok's CFO was on that flight.
You know, Bartok might've killed everybody on that plane
just to shut him up! Don't you care?
You know what? I don't think that you give a damn what Bartok did or didn't do.
I really don't. I think you're doing this
to get back at your stepmother,
to get her attention. I don't know!
What do you mean, "Get back at her"? Get back at her for what?
What do I have to get back at her for?
Tell me! What do I have to get back at her for?
It's not my problem anymore, A.J.
Oh, come on.
You're not leaving, are you?
Come on!
I only ever wanted you to have the best, sweetheart.
To be the best.
Did I push you too hard?
I'm sorry, Maddy.
I'm sorry for the things I said about you and him.
He's all right, your man.
And he loves you, too.
Gotta go find the loo.
- Sorry. He lives! - Hey, Kendra.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't call you back sooner.
Oh, it's okay. So, what have Sophia and you got planned today?
Uh, well, I was thinking maybe we could take Dad's old car, just, ah...
There's a music festival in Edinburgh
that I thought maybe we could go to.
Edinburgh? Is that Sophia's idea?
I just wanna have fun before school starts, that's all.
Well, what happened to your gap year?
Oxford said I could wait 'til next term, so...
Oh, that's great, if that's what you want.
Yeah. So, car?
- Yeah, of course. Have you got money? - Yeah. I'm good.
Okay. Take care, okay?
All right. I gotta go. I'll phone you.
Love you.
- Everything okay? - Hope so.
So this company makes the entertainment system for BGA's entire fleet?
Yeah. Including the faulty thermal lining.
Thank you so much. That's great work. Thanks.
Howard, Littlefield checks out.
- Good. - There's more.
Six months ago,
Donovan took out a second life insurance policy,
separate from his union's, and for twice as much.
Well, a new policy is usually invalidated if suicide is the cause of death.
Exactly. If there's a suicide note,
or any sign that that crash was deliberate,
then the beneficiaries have a huge incentive to destroy it.
We need to execute those warrants now.
Right. Make it happen.
Thank you for coming. I'm sorry about the other day.
Is that Mykonos?
I was working there last summer.
We've been there twice.
It's like Richard was living the same life in two different cities.
They keep asking me about him.
If we were fighting, if I was pressuring him.
Rick was selfish. He was stupid.
And he was a terrible person to lie to us.
But I believe he loved us both. That was the problem.
He didn't want to hurt either one of us.
- Hi, Theo. - Hey, how was Cambridge?
Did you find anything on the faulty thermal lining?
It's a dead end, Theo.
I mean, you saw how flammable that stuff was.
Yeah. And so did the manufacturer.
They replaced it in the entertainment systems.
The only reason that our test plane was available
is because it was grounded, waiting for a retrofit.
And Flight 716?
It was upgraded 6 weeks ago.
But on a more positive note,
Dom has a list of all the people that ever worked at VS Systems.
Although the CEO doesn't recall any Moses.
So how's everything back at the shop?
You haven't heard?
- Heard what? - Howard got the warrant to search Donovan's house.
- What? - Janet's executing it now.
- What happened? - Drive, please.
Who are you? You can't just barge in.
Mrs. Donovan, this warrant allows these officers
unfettered access to your house and grounds.
What's going on?
And to seize any articles belonging to Captain Donovan.
Upstairs.
Mr. Kelehar, I'm authorised to inform you
that the Dublin police are currently searching your house.
What for?
It's in the warrant.
We've been delayed in some dodgy weather, howard,
but I told you I wanted to be there
when the warrants were executed.
Yes, but we were faced with a time-sensitive decision.
Oh, bollocks, Howard!
You never have a problem reaching me when you need me.
- I know what your feelings are, but... - No!
Kendra?
Kendra? Kendra, are you all right?
Sorry about the scare.
You're never going to let me drive again, are you?
- Kendra, are you all right? - Yeah.
Yeah, we were fine. We were...
in Toronto heading out to the family cottage...
We had a row.
It just happened so quickly.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
I'm right here, baby. I'm right here.
They took off the ring.
I'll get it fixed before we get married.
Gorgeous.
- When's the big day? - Thank you.
This is the longest I've been away from him, my husband.
Stella? I like your backpack.
Thank you. Very cute little girl.
- Congratulations. - You know that's a myth, right?
That phone signals interfere with aircraft equipment.
Maddy, I'm here.
Here, you're safe.
You're safe.
Is this necessary? Our lives have already been shattered--
There's reporters outside talking to my neighbours,
making out like the crash was Richard's fault.
Ma'am.
Well, can you explain this?
I haven't the foggiest.
Used to rent a lock-up. Had a key just like that.
Let's go.
I don't know when I'll be back in the office.
Well, he'll just have to wait, won't he?
I have to be here for my daughter.
For Christ's sakes, she fell out of a bloody aeroplane.
Look, I'm--I'm--I'm sorry.
I just...
All right.
It's right up here, right?
So, I spoke to Janet earlier
and apparently the key that she found is for a lock-up in Pimlico.
Donovan rented it about three months ago,
his wife none the wiser.
She's going to get us a warrant.
Oh, God knows what we're going to find there.
Thanks for dropping me off.
It's the least I could do.
My front door's open.
Don't... who the hell are you?
D.I. Gibbons. I arrived just now, found the front door ajar.
Are you Kendra Malley, mother of Andrew Julian Malley?
Yeah. What's happened to him?
- Gibbons. - Bloody hell. Hayesie.
Look, can you tell me where my son is, please?
I was hoping you could tell me that.
This is where he was last night.
- Pavel Bartok's plane. - Oh my God.
What are the charges?
Trespassing, vandalism.
You have any idea where your son might be?
No, he said he was going to Edinburgh;
some music festival. But I'm not sure where he was staying.
You just bring him down to the station when he's home, yeah?
Of course.
- And for you, Dom, I'll keep an eye out for him. - Thanks.
- I could use a drink. You? - Absolutely.
He must have disabled his phone's GPS.
Yep.
Pavel bloody Bartok?
I mean, he knows how much trouble that man put me through.
Maybe that's why he did it.
Do you think I should be worried,
or is this just normal teenage bullshit?
God. I'm no expert.
I found my kid dealing weed and...
I tough-loved him all the way down to the station.
What happened?
He hasn't spoken to me in two years.
Sorry.
No, it's...
It wasn't an accident.
Wasn't about getting lost. I was...
I was upset.
I'd just found out Gavin wasn't taking his meds.
He was diagnosed schizophrenic.
Some of the doctors said that it was all brought on by the chemo.
He had survived cancer.
Jesus.
No god but irony, huh?
Should've never got in the car that day.
I'll thank God A.J. didn't.
He was in a coma for three weeks, but he never woke up.
We buried his ashes here.
Does A.J. Know?
I just told him it was an accident.
Maybe...
maybe part of me wanted to believe that was the truth.
He deserves to know.
How do I tell him that his father killed himself
and tried to kill me?
Hold on, wait, wait.
There's that man again.
It's probably one of the victim's family's.
Kendra, there's a thousand more like him.
Can't take them all on yourself.
Yeah, I know.
Just a second.
Can I help you?
Wendy. My wife.
This is the longest I've been away from him, my husband.
She was on the flight?
She was visiting her sister in New York.
Rather miss the old thing.
I keep thinking of all the things I said
and didn't say.
If you could just see her smile.
Bet it lit up the room, eh?
And she laughed like a horse.
I can say that because she said it.
50 years.
No time's ever enough.
No, but...
It's all we've got, isn't it?
Yes.
Would you like to come inside?
Oh, that's kind. Thank you.
How did you both meet?
It was a blind date, actually.
- Really? - Yeah. It was kind of a set-up.
I've got the warrant.
Well, let's see what's in that storage locker.
Great work finding that key.
- Heard from A.J.? - Not yet.
Thanks.
He planned the whole thing.
What are you doing?
That's not where the nurse puts the needle.
Okay.
We're all right.
- Is she good? - Doctor!
- Move it around! - Make some room!
Okay, he's in V-tach. Paddles!
Calling the code. Excuse me!
- Okay, 120 Joules. Charge it. - Charging.
Clear! Shocking.
Come on, Derek.
Okay, 200 Joules.
Charge it!
- Charging. - Clear!
Shocking.
- Again? - Yes.
- Charging. - Shocking.
