Departure

I understand Phil but they won't leave me alone.

Calm down. Calm down! Don't let 'em intimidate you.

You don't know what he's capable of.

Frankly, I'm more concerned about her.

Don't be. I can take care of her.

Good. I got a train to catch.

Hello, Jordan.

Rose? Wh... What are you doing here?

Just give me ten minutes.

The decision has been made. There's nothing to talk about.

Jordan, please!

All these years, I've never asked for anything.

I'm sorry.

No. You're not.

OK, come on Lucas.

- Where are we going? - It's a surprise, OK?

What kind of surprise?

(BUTTON BEEPS)

Is that him?

Come on. Come on.

Final boarding for 6 PM Toronto to Chicago, Track One.

Go on Lucas, our seats are just down here.

She's got no power so it's done.

That grave was dug years ago.

Sorry. Ah, here. This way.

You're not seriously gonna make me wear this the whole way?

Just coz we're eloping, doesn't mean we have to skip the fun!

Mom's gonna kill me.

Your mom loves me. Tell her it was my idea.

Haven't been on a train since I was a kid! It's so cool!

When I was teaching in Japan,

I rode on high-speed trains all the time.

You lived in Japan? You've never mentioned it!

OK, OK, but this is

the first high-speed train in North America!

Final call for the Apollo, departing Track One.

You are gonna be so excited when you see the ocean.

Is he on-board? Good. Be prepared for anything.

And I don't need to remind you what's at stake here, right?

Let me know when he's secure on arrival.

Ready to go here, Ratch? What do you say?

Ready to go Keith buddy.

Take her away. Don't wanna mess with my groundhog day.

Where are you goin'? It's almost supper.

Just taking the truck out. Been actin' up.

Can it wait 'til tomorrow? What if it breaks down...

Mary.

I just need to get out.

I'm alright.

It's pretty, right?

Too late! She's mine.

Hey Lucas. You want a snack?

Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching the US border.

Please have your documents ready.

Passports, please. Hey.

Thank you. Passports please.

Your passports please.

You're travelling without Dad today?

Oh, uh...

Do you have a letter from the father?

We're just gonna visit family.

Have a safe trip.

Final call, doors are now closing.

Tonight, I have Diana Bright who is running

for Governor of Michigan. Let's talk about the Apollo.

Miss Bright, you campaigned against the Apollo

and now it's a huge success.

Well, you call a piece of steel barreling through the state

with a glorified button-pusher at the helm a success.

It's dangerous.

But you're down in the polls

with just days to go.

Days are all you need in politics.

V8 or V6?

V8.

Oh. Freedom of the road, little man.

Why are your hands tied together?

See, this guy here was, uh...

Was trying to run away but I caught him.

What's the hold up in there?

Lucas?

Lucas?! Oh! Stay close, Lucas.

Dispatch to Apollo, the hell's going on Keith?

Someone pulled the emergency brake.

Computer's not telling me where.

A computer malfunction,

it can't be. Just ignore the blasted thing.

You need to re-arm the brakes. You remember, right?

Yeah, I remember. Thanks for the confidence though, Ratch.

No idea why those brakes were thrown.

Mysteries of modern technology continues.

- Apollo, you ready to roll? - Brakes are set.

90 PSI on the tail.

Sounds good, Apollo. Let's roll.

Sorry about that folks but we're A-OK.

Settle in, make yourself comfortable

and we'll have you in Chicago in no time.

Apollo on the move.

Pick it up K, I got the 278 coming your way.

Mom, we just think it's more romantic

than eating chicken with 200 cousins, you know?

No, she's not laughing! She feels bad too.

Mom? Later.

Ease up there Apollo, you're headed for the big curve.

I'm trying but the brakes aren't responding.

What the hell are you doing, slow down!

I can't! The computer isn't working!

No! (CRASHING)

Keith! KEITH!

Keith!

Everyone says nothing ever happens here and...

- Are you OK? - I'm sorry, who are you?

- My name... - She's with me Sheriff.

Sheriff McCullogh this is Kendra Malley.

- Here to investigate the crash. - You're working with the FTSA?

So it seems. Do we have a passenger update?

160 on board, 60 fatalities so far.

Our little hospital can't handle this.

They're taking most of the injured

to Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.

There's still over a dozen unaccounted for.

OK, let's go.

Oh my God.

What's the plan for recovering the black boxes?

We go in as soon as the Fire Department

says it's safe to do so.

OK. So, a high-speed train

collides with an oil-tanker

on a sharp curve.

Yeah, the truck

must've stalled on the track.

Terrible luck if it did.

Driver still behind the wheel,

never made it out of the cab.

Kendra, this is um...

- Parker. - Right.

- Hi. - I'll be running the mort op.

I'm setting up morgue and lab near the hospital in town.

OK, tell me. What do we know about the train operator?

Keith Sheffield, killed at impact.

Let's get a tox-screen done on him.

What about the rail-traffic controller.

Bill Ratch. Yeah, he's at Rail Control in Detroit.

- Can we have him brought here? - Yup.

Let's have Sheriff McCullogh run these plates please.

Yeah, you got it.

Let's have his remains picked up.

OK. Put that at the top of your list, please. Why is that?

Coz the truck is in park.

Suicide by train? And take all these people with him?

Yeah, but an oil-tanker this size.

It should be no match for a 600 tonne train.

The Apollo should've sailed right through it.

OK, what about the commuter train in Glendale?

It got taken out by an SUV.

Yeah, but the other vehicle was pushed

into a switch that set the train off the tracks.

Right.

OK, so, uh...

Maybe the train operator, he misjudged the curve,

he came in too fast and set the train off the tracks.

Not on the Apollo.

I mean, on it is an automatic control system.

Maybe it could've prevented a collision

but it should've slowed the train down enough

to prevent a derailment.

Maybe mechanical brake failure?

Or software.

OK, um. You know what, I'll put a call into URSA

and get them to send us the onboard data.

- Jordan Cole's company? - Yeah, the genius himself.

- Good luck with that. - I'll circle back around, OK?

I think I see something!

Flashlight!

OK. Brakes are in open position.

Car-bracing casing seems intact.

It's very difficult to see the entire length of the system.

Let me see if I can...

- Ah! - Help me.

It's alright, it's OK.

Hey, we need some help here, please!

- (WOMAN) Someone's moving! - What's your name?

Vivian. Alright Vivian, my name is Kendra.

And this is... This is Gail.

And Gail is gonna be with you, alright?

- It's OK just calm down. - Where's Devon?

- AH! - (MAN) ..find out...

Uh. (SOBS)
