Departure

- Previously on Departure. - Is everything okay? Can you hear me?

God help me, I think he crashed that plane on purpose.

- A flight simulator. - He planned the whole thing.

"Maybe it would be better for everyone if I just disappeared."

There is always value to be found in good assets.

Mom went to investigate his company a few years ago

and my dad said he made our lives a living hell.

Bartok might've killed everybody to shut 'em up. Don't you care?

It's closer to the edge.

And if it falls, we're going to lose the flight recorders.

There's a company laying cable in the area. They have a sub:

- Bartok International. - No. Bad idea.

Nonetheless, I'd like to meet with Bartok.

There's nothing else in range.

It wasn't an accident. Gavin wasn't taking his meds.

- Does AJ know? - How do I tell him

that his father killed himself and tried to kill me?

That's not where the nurse puts the needle. Oof!

I don't know how I'm gonna tell her that her father is dead.

Maybe you should wait.

I think she might notice he's suddenly missing, don't you?

She's weak. She needs rest.

You just want her stable so you can keep interrogating her.

Yeah, I do.

Don't you think she's had enough trauma?

I brought the director of MI5 up to speed about our discovery

of our pilot's secret playhouse.

I've also worked up a rough draft press release.

Pilot suicide. It's the only conclusion the TSIB can reach.

Donovan's flight simulator is relatively simple to use.

That's what makes it so popular with pilots.

- And gamers. - It's the same flight 716 took.

Yeah. See here?

This program marks the spot where Gander control

hands over to Shanwick.

- The exact same flight path? - That bastard planned

everything down to the last detail.

Now, Donovan made first contact with Shanwick at 35,000 feet.

But he missed the second check at three zero west.

Here, he initiates a sharp right turn.

Well, that's right over the trench, isn't it?

- About 100 miles short of it. - But that is where he's aiming for.

Then he makes a rapid descent.

He left four different versions of this dive on the simulator.

- So, he was practising. - The first three simulations

are so steep, he loses control and he crashes.

Well, isn't that the point?

I don't think so.

Because at that angle of descend,

the ocean should have been filled with debris.

Yeah, but we haven't found any.

Why? Because he decided to level off at 150 feet.

We're thinking that he wanted to land the aircraft

in one piece and have it sink.

Lost forever. Just like Malaysia.

- No closure for the families. - No. But it protects

the insurance payouts for his dependents,

so long as it doesn't look like suicide.

Maddy, it's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. You're safe,

you're safe. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

You're safe. It's okay. It's okay.

Mr. Bartok, I...

What is that?

I use Caravan tea leaves for a nice strong zavarka.

It's good.

But can we talk about why I'm here?

Your boss, Kendra Malley.

She cost me a lot of money, did you know that?

No.

My company had a small problem with one of my helicopters.

It had, a slight...

Yaw?

Ms. Malley was the investigator. She discovered

a mechanical failure that was undetected by maintenance.

Grounded my entire fleet for weeks.

It cost me a... a lot.

Would have cost you more if someone had died.

And now she sends you, begging for my submersible.

I wouldn't call it begging.

Well, then you are not doing it right.

Everything on the flight simulator goes against Captain Donovan.

His second insurance policy, his complica... the fact that he confessed

suicidal thoughts to his friend.

- Granted, there is a compelling case. - An overwhelming case, Kendra!

That only the black boxes can corroborate.

You've already blown your chance at finding those.

Madelyn Strong has given us a name.

- Name? From a delirious victim? - Yeah, well, delirious or not,

she is our only eyewitness.

Dom's texted. Madelyn Strong's awake.

- Hi, Kendra. - AJ. I finally reached you.

You're not in Edinburgh, are you?

It's nice to hear from you too.

Police came looking for you last night.

Shit.

They've got a video of you vandalizing Pavel Bartok's plane.

- What the hell is going on? - Well, you know what he's like.

You should be investigating him. He's a mass murderer.

Is all of this coming from Sophia?

AJ, please.

Please, AJ, darling, will you just come home?

Now I know you've been lying to me.

Hi. Did you manage to get the sub?

- No, but... - Did he say anything about

his plane being vandalized?

No. He's open to discussion but he'll

only talk to you personally about it.

- Just don't go without a chaperone. - Great.

- Thanks. - No problem.

It didn't go well with AJ. I don't think he's in Edinburgh.

I don't even think his girlfriend's with him.

Well, I can get Gibbons to put an alert out on AJ and the car.

Thanks. It would help. Does Madelyn know about her father?

No, not yet. Ali's agreed to hold off.

- He's not happy about it, though. - Yeah. I can imagine.

Look, I checked the CCTV footage

in Maddy's room. It cut out for two minutes.

- A glitch? - Maybe.

But it happened conveniently when Derek had his heart attack.

I'm gonna review the footage from all the cameras on the ward.

Okay. And stay on top of the autopsy results. Let me know

- if anything crops up. - I'm on it.

Hi, Madelyn.

I'm Kendra Malley.

Yes, I remember. Um, am I the only one you found?

There was a little girl. I think her name was Stella?

Thank you. You'll be okay.

Madelyn,

let's... let's start from the beginning.

What happened after you got onto the plane? Was there...

Was there anything unusual?

It was a normal flight.

Sorry.

After around three hours, I got up to go to the loo.

Crew members were trying to get into the cockpit.

Open up!

Was, um... Was this one of the people

that was trying to get into the cockpit?

You let me in! Everything okay?

Yes.

What about this man?

Yes. But later.

- He came later. - Hassan Esmaili.

Christ, are we back on terrorism?

Could he have been trying to help?

He is a decorated air force pilot.

- Iranian air force. - Point is he jumped in

after the pilot locked himself in the cockpit.

So our eyewitness corroborates pilot suicide?

I reviewed the hospital security footage.

See how he moves?

He knows the location of every camera.

Who is this guy?

Someone who knows what he's doing. Here...

That's our best shot of him.

I'll get Janet to run facial recognition,

but if this guy's a professional, he's likely not a UK national.

I'd be shocked if he showed up in the database.

Here, watch what happens when he goes into Madelyn's room.

See?

Camera cuts out.

Two minutes later, Ali enters, sees Madelyn in distress and...

Derek on the floor, dead.

So, was Derek the target,

or just in the wrong place at the wrong time?

It's got to be Madelyn.

Yeah, but why would somebody want to kill her?

What does she know?

You don't have to answer any more questions, Maddy. You're too tired.

No, it's okay.

Where's Dad?

He was here, wasn't he? I wasn't dreaming it?

No. No, you weren't dreaming.

You ready?

- There was some sort of explosion. - Explosion?

Do you remember which side of the aircraft?

Yes, the hole was near the front,

on the right side.

- Starboard side. Theo, pull it up. - Yeah.

Right there.

And your escape, Maddy: how did you survive?

I don't know how, but I was able to get back to my seat.

Some time passed, and there was... this...

this man...

Everything was black...

The ocean, the sky.

Madelyn,

tell me about the man that fell with you on the raft.

I tried to get to him, but he was already dead.

And... he went under.

Can you describe him for me?

He was sitting across the aisle from me on the plane.

He was on his laptop the whole time. Playing a game.

Daniel Hoffman.

Yes, that's him.

I remember he got very upset.

And that's when he started talking about Moses.

God dammit, Moses!

Jesus.
