Departure

- Previously on Departure... - My God! What's happening?

If there are survivors

on the open water, six hours is all they will have.

- Let's find this plane. - Pilot's state of mind is

- top priority. - Why has our pilot

- got a second phone? - And who is he talking to

- right before takeoff? - My airline contact says

ACARS cut out three minutes after the transponder.

- Which means? - Somebody on board wanted

- that aircraft to disappear. - Kendra, this is Janet Freeh.

- Security Service. - MI5?

You brought

a spy into this investigation without telling me?

On the manifest his name's Harold Rossi.

His real name is Hassan Esmaili.

He's on the watch list,

and he's been trained as a pilot.

If we don't find those black boxes, then we'll

- never know what happened. - They found debris?

No. A survivor.

Got it.

How in God's name is she alive?

Searching passport photos now.

Match: Madelyn Strong, age 25.

London-born. She was a medical resident and she was

a last-minute addition to the flight.

Alright, people. We need to know why she was in New York.

I want all CCTV footage. I want to know her social networks;

what she was involved with; where she went to school;

where she grew up.

Do you think there could be more survivors?

I'll say the chances are next to impossible but,

then again, so was this.

Anything more on our watch list Iranian?

Not yet. Janet's looking into it, I'll keep you posted.

Kendra? Phone.

- OK... - I've made contact

with Lieutenant Commander Foster aboard the lead search vessel.

When we find the aircraft, I'd like for you

- to consider me for the dive. - Nadia, I understand, but it's

not my call, it's the Navy's. I've gotta take this. Sorry.

- OK. - That's it.

OK. Got it.

The chopper's landed and they're taking her into surgery.

- Do we know who she is yet? - Madelyn Strong.

- A young doctor. - She's a bloody miracle.

Howard, why was she a last-minute passenger,

and how did she escape with a life raft?

What are you trying to say?

Is our miracle survivor our prime suspect?

Doctor Brown, please call 4-9-9.

Doctor Brown, please call 4-9-9

Humpty-Dumpty's in better shape,

but this young lady fell from a far greater height.

Do you think I'll be able to question her?

No. This kind of coup-contrecoup injury,

I'd expect severe concussion.

Will you put her into an induced coma

- until the swelling goes down? - Well...

- I hope that won't be necessary. - Doctor, please.

Could I have one minute with her when you think she's OK?

Please?

Thank you.

Dr. Mackay: call your office.

Doctor Mackay: call your office

Hassan Esmaili...

travelling as Harold Rossi,

he was seated two rows away from our lone survivor.

How did an Iranian pilot on the watch list

- get on our aircraft? - That I still don't know.

But Ali Basra...

Madelyn Strong's fiancé,

he's second-generation Pakistani.

- Is that a crime? - No.

But this is.

He's got a criminal record.

We need to test the plane for every possible vulnerability.

How's the airline going to like me tearing

- their new jet liner apart? - Yeah, well, it's better

than having their entire 950 fleet grounded.

- Hi. I'm Navi... - Shit, sorry.

...your in-flight entertainment system. What would you like to do?

I'd like you to tell me why 255 people

died on Flight 7-1-6.

I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?

No. Because, like us, you only get one shot at it.

I'm thinking...

that maybe a fire on board knocked out the transponder.

Yeah. A cracked flame tube or combustion chamber could

leak gas, ignite a blaze. I can run some tests, if you'd like.

Yeah. Let's start below deck.

And get on to the lab.

I want the raft that our survivor used tested for DNA.

- Right. - As soon as.

OK.

We need to be discreet with our investigation

- into Hassan Esmaili. - Discreet?

That's an understatement. If it leaks that there was

an Iranian terrorist onboard 716, who might have

- caused it to crash... - And it could look

- like an act of war. - That is the general consensus

amongst my colleagues at MI5 as well.

OK, then, we happily agree.

We do.

I want in on the questioning of Ali Basra.

Ali Basra?

- Why? - He's got a rap sheet.

- For what? - Assaulting a police officer

at a demonstration. But more importantly,

Madelyn missed her scheduled flight at JFK.

She was waiting for a package,

which the airport security screening shows

was labelled for Basra.

- What was in the package? - That's what I want to ask him.

No, Dom and I will handle the family.

I need you on the Iranian. Use your contacts,

see what you can turn up. Good luck. Thanks, Janet.

Anxious family members continue to gather

- at Heathrow Airport... - Kendra Malley,

the investigator in charge, is expected to brief the media

- later this afternoon. - The Trade and Industry

Minister is being cautious with

- her approach to the Chinese. - Stock markets are falling

with fears that all British-mad 9-50 aircraft will be grounded.

We are positive your ship

is headed in the wrong direction, Captain.

Flight 7-1-6's last ACARS transmission

was 49.0515, negative 28.4317.

- Is that so, Miss? - You won't find the black boxes

in the quadrants you're searching.

Then why do my calculations say that we should

- be searching here? - Well, for one,

they don't factor in wind drag coefficients.

Where are we with the captain?

Any indication that his two spouses knew about his double life?

I'm bringing them both in for interviews

this afternoon. Hopefully, I can establish

who knew what, as well as Donovan's state of mind.

Wife in London, husband in Dublin, kids with both?

Makes me suicidal just saying it.

Yeah. The tabloids get a whiff of this, God help us.

Yeah. Levi. Flight 7-1-6

had internet access all across the Atlantic,

so let's collect all the passengers' texts and calls,

- as many as we can, yeah? - Alright.

Theo? Where's Theo? Theo! What's the update?

We're doing a fan blade out test to see

if faulty manufacturing could have caused...

Engine failure? No. The aircraft could have made it

to Shannon on one. Start with the electrics.

- I've got a team on that too. - What's the word on the raft?

The lab said that it would take a couple days to analyze

the residue and the DNA. And I told them that wouldn't fly,

so they'll have it to you by the end of day.

OK. Nice work. Anything else?

Right. They've located Madelyn Strong's next of kin.

That's it. Thanks, everyone.

There.

Why do you need our DNA?

Have their bodies been recovered?

We're working as fast as we can. Please, sir, bear with us.

Have you...

Have you found my Stella?

- You'll be OK. - Rest assured

we're doing everything that we possibly can.

Hopefully, we should have some news soon, OK?

Excuse me. Are you Ali Basra?

You must be Derek Strong, Madelyn Strong's father?

God, what's happened?

Would you both like to follow us, please?

Please.

How long... have you and Madelyn been engaged?

What's that camera for? Is this an interrogation?

Why?

Because I'm Muslim?

It's just a few questions, Mr. Basra.

So, um, who did Madelyn take after?

Mother? Father?

She... She takes after her mother.

She's all hearts and laughter,

much more than me.

She... collects stray cats.

You just met the biggest.

You don't approve of her fiancé?

What father dreams his daughter

will marry a DJ?

She's gone, isn't she?

They're all gone.

You were arrested for an act

of violence outside of the Syrian embassy.

I was just protesting the war.

- By throwing a brick at a copper? - Nah, I didn't throw anything.

They messed up. They scooped up the wrong man.

Then who is the right man?

You were there protesting with supporters of the Islamic State,

members of the fundamentalist group Hizb-ut-Tahir.

There were thousands of people there!

Every political stripe there is!

What are you accusing me of?

CCTV footage from JFK.
