Departure (2019): Season 1, Episode 6 - End Game - full transcript

-Previously onDeparture.
- Moses...

- Who's Moses?
- [I want an assurance]

that the name Hassan Esmaili
will stay secret.

- Did you find anything
on Hoffman?

- He was the man in the raft and
Hoffman did work in aviation.

- We were safety consultants,
part of various red teams

that tested
for aircraft vulnerabilities.

- Kendra! I'm sorry.
I screwed up.

[They're after me.]
- AJ?

- I know this is hard,
but you'll need to step away.

Everyone,
by now you've all heard



about Kendra.
Levi will take her place.

-Do they know
how our call was recorded?

- Apparently,
it was Malley's son.

- I sent a Trojan to one
of your email groups.

- You clicked
on the bloody attachment.

-British Global Air has never,
and will never,

compromise on safety.
- You world class bullshitter.

- That's Hassan Esmaili...
- Bloody Mossad agent.

-What's he doing
in the captain's seat?

- Why did you leak this
without consulting me?

Did you even try to think
through the consequences?

- You broke our deal.
- Not me.

Janet Freeh.
- If the man in the cockpit

is identified as Hassan Esmaili
then operations will be exposed



and lives put at risk.
Janet promised us

she'd keep this under wraps.
- I know. She's desperate.

- Why?
- MI5 must know

that the black box data
will debunk any sort

of pilot suicide theory.
Now they're trying

to shift the blame to Hassan.
- Terrorism is

the public's
worst fear.

MI5 can take over
and trust me,

they'll handle it.
- Oh,

like you handled
the flight simulator?

Or, uh, your surprise witness,
Mister Littlefield?

- You were supposed to control
your team, Howard.

We wouldn't be
having this conversation

if you'd stopped them
from finding the black boxes.

- Ah! We have no idea
what's on those black boxes.

There's no clue that they will
support terrorism.

- It's your job
to make it fit, Howard.

I had Janet leak the photo.

- An Iranian pilot bringing down
a British airliner?

Do you want to start
a bloody war?

- That's not our concern here.
We need you to build

a credible terrorism case.
It's in our best interests

to offload to MI5.

They have a history
of discretion.

- If you'll excuse me.

(door opens)

(door closes)
- Weak link.

- Why would we help you?
- Look,

people went to great lengths
to cover up

what crashed Flight 716.
Now they'll use Hassan

to bury the truth, even if
it costs your agents' lives.

- We'll keep an eye on her.

(applause)
- Ah, well done, Nadia!

You've truly gone
above and beyond.

Ah, Theo ready these
for data collection.

- Yeah.
- You must be exhausted.

- Ah, no! Howard, I'm fi...
- But don't-don't worry.

He'll-he'll handle it.
He'll handle it. You rest.

- It's okay. Good job.

- Thanks.
- Alright.

(tool vibrating)
(door opens)

- So, are they functioning?

- Uh, they're still drying.
Some of the connections

are definitely corroded, so,
uh, could affect the audio.

- Will you hook it up
for a test, please?

- Uh, well,
it's-it's still too soon to--

- Oh, just a wee one.

- Okay.

(indistinct speaking)

-Flaps. Two sets,
two indicated.

-Two sets,
two indicated. Check.

- That's at JFK
just before takeoff.

- Well done.

- Thank you.
(laughing)

- Good. Good.

-Ladies and gentlemen,

this is your co-pilot
Arthur Delaney.

Please ensure
that your electronic devices

are turned off
as we prepare for departure.

Thank you and enjoy your flight

- Do you have your phone?

- What's wrong?

- We need
to call Kendra.

(indistinct announcement
over PA)

(cellphone ringing)
- Hello?

- Moses isn't a person.
- What?

- It's a thing.

- A thing...

(musical theme)

- M-O-S-I-S.

[MOSIS. It's an acronym.]
- For what?

- I don't know but Maddy said
Hoffman kept saying:

"MOSIS did it."
Could he have meant software,

or some sort of virus
that he planted?

- Maybe. But she also said
Hoffman was panicked, afraid.

Doesn't really vibe
with someone who's trying

to crash a plane.
- [True.]

Look, I'm going to circle back
to Stefon Tark at King's

and see what he knows about
this MOSIS. Meet you there?

- I can't. Got to stay here
at Scotland Yard.

I've shown them the evidence
that Derek Strong was murdered,

but it's going to take
a damn sight more convincing

to get them to investigate
255 airplane passengers.

- Got it. Keep me posted, yeah?
- Kendra, wait!
- Yeah?

- They've pulled a body
out of the Thames last night.

- What?
- [Our orderly.]

The same man who tried
to kill you and A.J.

[I think they're trying
to snip off all the loose ends.]

I've arranged
for police protection of A.J.

[You need to let me do
the same for you.]

- Yeah. Of course.

- You stay safe.

- We have had to endure
the outrageous speculation

that the man we loved
intentionally

crashed Flight 716.
We never believed

he was capable of such
an evil and cowardly act.

-And with the publication
of this photo,

the rest of the world
now knows, too.

♪♪♪

- Mister Tark?
- Ms. Malley.

- So why didn't you tell me
about MOSIS?

- Ah... I haven't heard
that name in years. I'm sorry,

I didn't think it--
- It's an acronym.

What does it stand for?
- Multi-user...

Onboard Smart Interface System.

It was BGA's in-house build.

The airline wanted
proprietary rights

over the software.
- Okay. And-and what does it do?

- Oh, MOSIS was
an impressive program.

It provided the basis for
the current in-flight
entertainment system.

I think they call it,
uh... 'NAVI' now?

- Hey.

What'd you want to show me?
- This.

- You're a gamer?
- Yes. And so was Hoffman.

Actually, the only
online presence we found

was his gamer name HoffMaster69.
- Right.

- But, when his flat
was searched,

no gaming console was found
on the inventory list.

- Janet could have destroyed it.
- That's what I thought.

But then I decided
to follow him anyways.

- What? He's online? Hoffman?

- Yeah.
(cellphone ringing)

- Hey. You've got
impeccable timing.

I'm putting you
on speaker.

- MOSIS is Multi-user Onboard
Smart Interface System.

I think that Hoffman found
some kind of vulnerability

and the airline shut him down.
- [Kendra,]

Hoffman's avatar
is active right now.

- What?
- [If Hoffman were arguing]

with BGA over a vulnerability
in the aircraft's system,

he must have backed up
his findings somewhere

and consoles contain
pretty massive hard drives.

- All right, well, then
we need to find that.
Coordinate with Dom.

(indistinct screaming)

-I've lost control!

(corrupted audio)
-Let me in!

- There's all kinds
of interference in the audio

and these are the only
clear segments so far.

-I'm in control!
I've deployed the spoiler.

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

-Allahu Akbar...
The Jihadist war cry.

- It's a... it's a prayer.
I think it means

"God is greater".
- It was Hassan all along.

- Um, I-I think we need to run
electronic filtering to try

and recover the missing audio.
- The evidence

is too compelling, Levi.

You'd do well to get on board.

(gunshots)
(screaming)

- Keep him engaged. We're close.
- I'm trying to.

- We've got him!
- Where is he?

- [Sending the address now.]
- Here, let me take over.
- Yeah, yeah.

(phone vibrating)
- What have you got, Nadia?

- The I.P. address is coming

from an apartment
on Ringstone Court.

- Isn't that
where Hoffman lived?

- Yes. But it's coming
from a different flat. 409.

- Okay. Well, look, um...
I'm near there now.

Um, I'll meet you there, okay?
Thanks. Change of plan!

Can you take me
to Ringstone Court, please?

- [What's that address again?]

- [Ringstone Court.]

(baby crying)

(knocking)

- Hi. Just you in there?

- It's not really
your business, is it?

- Where'd you get that console?

- The shop.
- That's funny.

'Cause your neighbor,
Mr. Hoffman, reported it stolen.

- You a cop?
- No.

But a lot of my friends are.

- We used
to play games together.

I told my mom he let me
borrow the console.

- How'd you get it?
- Spare key.

My Mom's the porter here.

Where is he,
Mr. Hoffman?

- Here. Why don't you
pull up the menu?

- Okay.

- It's got nothing
to do with the game.

Just old rubbish, really.

- Yeah?

Well, it's worth something
to me. Thanks.

- Why couldn't you have
just gone along with it?

- I know all about
Howard and you.

- Howard? God! He was
barely middle management.

- Yeah? And what are you?
You tried to kill my son.

- I still might.
I'll take that.

- Kendra!
- Aaah!

- She's dead.

She must have fallen on it.

Some accidents should not
be investigated, Ms. Malley.

- Mom? Kendra?
- A.J.

- What happened to you?

What happened to you?

Are you okay?
Are you okay?

(indistinct screaming)

-Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

-Allahu Akbar.Ha! Ha! Ha!

Well, all this
is good, Howard.

Very good.
- Mm.

Well, there's more we can use.
My associate, Mr. Holl,

is back at HQ
building the case.

- Can he be trusted?
- Oh! He's malleable.

Ah, I'll send him over to, uh,
brief you when he's done.

And, uh, we should be able

to hand the investigation
over to MI5

by end of day tomorrow.
- Excellent.

Your good work
won't go unrecognized.

- Care to remind Janet
of that?

- Ah.

You haven't heard.
- Heard?

- Janet's dead, Howard.

Some sort
of dreadful fall.

It's terrible.

(knocking)
- Hi.

- Oh, my God. Are you all right?
- Yeah. A few bumps and lumps,

but I'll be fine.

- You sure?
- The others are waiting.

Does it work?
- Yeah. It's all still there.

All of Hoffman's files.
Even a video manifesto.

- This is what got
255 people killed.

- What are we going
to do with it?

- Well, if we take it to Levi,
can we trust him to keep it

from Howard?
- I wouldn't chance it.

- I've known Levi for years.
He stuck with pilot suicide

because he believed it.
- He hasn't left Howard's side

in days, Kendra.
- If we're taking on

all the money and influence
that BGA can muster,

we need
to assume the worst.

- Okay, look,
I have an idea.

It's a long shot,
so if anybody wants out,

I completely understand.

Are you ready?
- Yeah.

- You good?
- Okay. We're rolling.

- Tell me what happened,
Madelyn.

-I'm very happy
that my submersible was able

to retrieve
the Flight 716 black boxes.

I can only hope
that their contents

will bring closure.

- I almost killed that man.

- You were duped, A.J.

- Like father like son.
- Hey.

Don't do this.

- Why'd my birth Mom leave?

Kendra never left.

She didn't run off.

Didn't give up on Dad.

Didn't give up on me.

She's the only one.

- Tell her that.

-Although the contents of
the black boxes from Flight 716

have yet to be made public...
-The finding

of unlawful interference
would mean that responsibility

for Flight 716...
-...as a verdict of terrorism

could completely discharge
the airline from liability.

- Well, I appreciate
the briefing, Mr. Holl.

It's very good work.
- Thank you.

Now that we've determined
that terrorism is the cause,

all remaining evidence
will be handed over to MI5

and they'll finalize
the remaining investigation.

- Yeah. I understand.

- Now, there is something

I'd like to discuss with you
in confidence.

- Hm?
- My technicians tell me

they've discovered
a vulnerability

in the aircraft's software
at the interface

with the NAVI system.
- Oh. Is it a serious concern?

- Think it could be.
I'd like to demonstrate it

for you and, um,
discuss remedial options

while keeping it out
of the final report.

- When?
- Today, if possible,

before we release the test craft
back to you?

- Howard, Theo needs to see you
in the boardroom.

- I'm afraid
I'm pressed for time.

- He's figured out how Hassan

triggered the explosion
in the fuselage.

(sighs)

- Mr. Holl?

- Hi, Mr. Moreau. Over here.

- Where's Theo?

What the devil
are you playing at?

- Who are you
and what are you doing here?

- Take a seat. I think
you will find this
very informative.

(whirring)
- Stop this plane.

Stop this plane immediately!
- Please be seated, Mr. Moreau.

Captain's now ready for takeoff.

Are all your electronics
switched off?

(chuckling)
- Is this...

some sort of sick joke?
- Oh, that's where your seat is.

That's where Madelyn Strong sat.

(whirring)

- This is outrageous.
Stand aside.

- You really
should stay, Howard.

- Why don't you have a seat?
- Yeah.

- NAVI...
Pull up video manifesto.

Daniel Hoffman.
Hired by you,

three years ago,
to test for vulnerabilities

within BGA's new in-flight
entertainment system.

And he found a vulnerability,
all right.

NAVI, play.
-A vulnerability exists

within all
Windsor 950 aircraft...

wherein an experienced hacker

could gain access to
and override

the pilot's instruments
through the entertainment port,

effectively taking control
of the aircraft.

- That's absurd.
-Now,

I have warned Ethan Moreau
of my findings

and he has failed to correct
this flaw. Mr. Moreau decided

that the cost
of grounding his fleet

to rewrite a few lines of code

was too great.
- This man is clearly deranged.

- Sh.
-And so now I am forced to act

as a whistleblower,
to safely demonstrate

this vulnerability
on Flight 716

and to publicize
Moreau's negligence.

- You refused to remedy
that flaw in the software.

And that's the very flaw that
caused Flight 716 to go down.

[It's why you had Janet Freeh
plant the flight simulator]

[so that she could put forward
a case for pilot suicide.]

[But when that failed,
you had Howard Lawson]

[push forward Hassan Esmaili
as the author]

of a terrorist attack.
- Howard Lawson is irrelevant.

[Hassan's body was found
in that cockpit.]

[His history, and the evidence
found on the black box]

[point to terror
as the cause.]

[This will be
an MI5-led investigation now,]

so let's end
this farce, shall we?
- We can't do that, Mr. Moreau.

The in-flight entertainment
has just begun. NAVI...

Play video -- Madelyn Strong.

-I was on Flight 716.

I am the only survivor.

The movie cut out.

I asked him if his was out too,

but he didn't answer me...

He was quite panicked.

He kept saying something like,

"This wasn't supposed
to happen." and...

"MOSIS, what have you done?"

I thought he was talking
about the game I saw him play.

I thought that by the time
I got back from the loo,

the entertainment system
would be working again.

That was the first time
I saw the man

I now know to be Hassan Esmaili

There was a screen
in front of me.

I saw the word "MOSIS".
- NAVI, pause.

That's the name of the program
that Hoffman tested

for your airline.
- This is utter nonsense.

- NAVI, play cockpit
voice recording

at three hours, 40 minutes.

- I've lost control
of the aircraft!

The controls are not responding!
- Captain!

Captain Donovan!
Is everything okay? Open up!

- I'm trying!
The door won't open.

Use the code!
- It's not working! Open up.

(muffled screaming)

-After that,
I saw Hassan again.

Hassan was banging on the door

and Captain Donovan let him in.

- (Moreau):
If Donovan let Hassan in,

it's because he deceived him.
- Is that right?

Well, thankfully,
Scotland Yard's

digital forensics team
helped us clear up the audio

on the cockpit voice recording.
NAVI...

[Play cockpit voice recording
at three hours, 42 minutes.]

-Captain,
I'm a military trained pilot!

Let me in! I can help you!

- I've lost control

of the aircraft.
I have to go down below

and reboot the computer.
- You might not make it back up.

There isn't enough oxygen.
- Never mind that, can you fly?

- Yes, I can. Now hurry!

(coughing)

(groans)

- It worked! I'm in control!

[I'm in control.
I've deployed the spoilers.]

[I can get us out of the dive.]

(rapid beeping)

Come on!

Come on, come on!

[Captain, the engines
aren't coming back!]

[Captain!]

The engines!

(raspy breathing)

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

♪♪♪

♪♪♪

- You know
what you're describing is both

insane and impossible.
- Sorry. Is it?

In Hoffman's report,
he laid it out,

how to do it step by step.
- What are you doing?

- I'm trying it.
If it's impossible,
you have nothing to worry about.

- At three hours, 36 minutes
into the flight,

there was a thrust differential
that caused the plane
to jolt slightly.

Oh, Levi Holl did bring
Howard Lawson's attention to it,

[but he just ignored it.
I assume]

that's down to you and
your airline's interests.
- One thing you can assume

about Lawson
is the only interests
he'll look after are his own.

- At first
the movement was negligible.

But then it happened again
and this time,

it was anything but slight.
(thudding)

- Stop, please stop.

Stop! Bloody insane!

- NAVI, are you still with me?
-Hi.

What can I help you with today?
- Resume video.

-Hundreds of people are dead.

Men, women,

mums, dads.

Children. The elderly.

They were seated all around me.

They were happy. Excited.

Off to see
their-their loved ones.

And they didn't deserve this.

This didn't need to happen.

- NAVI, pause.

After everything that
Madelyn Strong had survived,

you tried to kill her

and you killed
her father.

Why, Mr. Moreau?

- Look, I didn't kill anyone!

I'm really sorry about
what happened to those people

but all your theory proves
is that Hoffman

was the true terrorist.
A disgruntled former employee

who sought to punish
British Global Air.

What's that?

- (along with Moreau's echo):
Use a different man this time.

- It's fine.
- He didn't finish the job!

- (Janet): He will.
I'll make sure of it.

- Is that supposed
to mean something?

- (along with Janet's echo):
Apparently it was Malley's kid.

- The little shit
gained access to her webcam.

The police are looking for him.
- But we'll find him first.

- What? You don't approve?

- It's not possible.

- (Levi): The evidence
is compelling, Howard.

You'd do well to get on board.

- I have no idea what
you're talking about.
- Well, don't worry.

It's all on this USB.
A video of you,

Howard and Janet discussing
the murder of Derek Strong

and the attempted murder
of my son.

- Howard's behind this nonsense,
isn't he?

[He's filled
your heads with lies
to cover his own crimes.]

- Fasten your seatbelt,
Mr. Moreau.

It's going to be
a bumpy ride down.

I know you're not
the architect

[of this crime
and cover-up, Howard.]

But Moreau needs a scapegoat.

♪♪♪

- I'd like to discuss

the terms of my cooperation.

- "Scotland Yard
has exposed the conspiracy

"surrounding
the Flight 716's tragedy

"with the aid of
TSIB investigator Kendra Malley

and her team."
- Did they spell my name right?

- Kendra with a "C".
(chuckles)

"The evidence
suggesting pilot suicide

"was fabricated and
the voice recordings
from the cockpit

"confirm that Captain Donovan
died in an heroic attempt

to right his aircraft."
- Yeah.

I'm glad they put that one in.
- "Donovan,

"along with amateur pilot
Harold Rossi,

"struggled to regain control
of the airplane

"and save the lives
of all those on board.

"Whistleblower Daniel Hoffman
warned the airline

"of the inflight vulnerability,

"but his findings
were suppressed.

"The crisis
has shaken Westminster

"with the arrest of several
high-ranking members of MI5,

"who are alleged to have
criminally conspired

"with British Global Air CEO,
Ethan Moreau.

"In the aftermath
of the scandal,

"both Saudi Arabia and China

have canceled their purchase
of the 950 series."

- Yeah. Nobody's going to like
that bit, trust me.

(A.J. chuckles)
(footsteps approaching)

Hi!
- Just coming from the Yard.

Think it's going
to be alright, A.J.

- Why do you say that?

- Well, they nicked the fellow
who made the explosives.

And he confirmed
that he used you.

Bartok also stepped up.

I think we're looking
at no record

and just
some community service.

- Thanks.

- Thanks, Dom.

(indistinct chattering)
(laughing)

- Did I miss the invitation?
- It's from Bartok.

- Is it now?

"You won again, Miss Malley.
Enjoy."

- He's feeling generous.
He got very good press

by lending us his submersible.
- Yeah, and it's good news

all around today.
Some white knight investors

stepped up to rescue
Windsor Aeronautics

and keep the 950s flying.
- Oh, my God!

You can only
get that stuff at auction.

It's, like, a 5,000-pound bottle
of single malt scotch.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

- I've tasted better.
(laughing)

♪♪♪

- No bombs today, Mr. Malley?

- I just came
to apologize.

I don't agree
with your politics

but what I did
was wrong.

- You and I are more alike

than you think.
- Yeah, I couldn't...

I couldn't do what you do.
- Couldn't you?

You broke quite a few laws
in service

of what you believed was right.
- That's different, though.

I was doing it
for the truth.

- You're a clever young man,
like your mother.

I knew she'd figure it out
if she stuck with Hoffman.

- You tried to kill my son.

- I never thought Janet
would go that far.

- Not good enough.

- All those souls,

they were already gone.

I thought at least
I could save British aviation.

- How considerate
of you, Howard.

- Moreau promised
to fix the NAVI problem;

make sure that nothing like this
ever happened again.

- You thought
I'd be easy to manipulate,

didn't you?

- If I did,
I got that wrong.

I should have remembered
just how bloody dogged

you could be.
- Yeah, well,

I learned from the best,
didn't I?

- The USB was a fake, wasn't it?

- Goodbye, Howard.

- Goodbye, Soldier.

- Oh, I thought I had it.

- Okay, where does this go?

Here?
- No.

If I put the eye like this,
she looks cross-eyed though.

(laughing)

I went to see Bartok today.
- What?

- Just to apologize.
- Really?
- Yeah.

Even helped you out
with that sub.

Pretty nice things
to say about you.

- Yeah? Like what?

- Like that you were clever

and that he knew
that you'd figure it out

if you stuck
with Hoffman.

♪♪♪

(knocking)

- Get dressed.

- Hi.
- We've been played.

- Gimme a minute.

♪♪♪

- Do you really think
that Bartok

was behind all of this?
- I do.

The "white knight" investors
that saved Windsor Aeronautics?

Dom and I did some digging.

- They're all affiliated
with Bartok International.

He's getting the whole thing
for pennies on the pound.

- Bartok knew
about Hoffman before we did.
I mean, we had nothing to go on

until Stefon Tark
turned up out of the blue.

- Couldn't Tark have
just been a lucky break?
- I don't think so.

I think that Bartok convinced
Hoffman to get onto that flight.

- I mean, I went
through Hoffman's report.

The vulnerability was real.
- But why did he lose control

of Flight 716? He had run
that simulation over a 100 times

without a problem.
- Got something!

- This is at Heathrow Departures

the day Hoffman flew
to New York.

- Tark said
he just happened to bump

into his old friend there.

- Oh, my God.
He's giving Hoffman his laptop.

Right, we need
a deep dive on Tark.

There has to be a connection
between him and Bartok.

- Yeah.
- Right.
- I'm onto Scotland Yard.

- Uh, so what was in the case?
- Oh, I uploaded

some rare video games
on his laptop as a favour.

My work ran late
so I met him at the airport.

I swear, I had no idea
what Hoffman was planning.

- You didn't install
a video game, did you?

You installed a virus.
A virus that would take over

once Hoffman started his hack;

froze the pilot's controls and
sent the plane into a nosedive.

(chuckles)

- I'm just an academic.
- An academic who received

a very large sum of money
in an offshore account

the day Flight 716 disappeared.
- What?

- How long have you been working
for Pavel Bartok?

- Pa--? I don't know
who you're talking about.

- Of course you don't.

"Accidental explosion kills nine
in Sokutsk facility.

"Among the survivors,
aerospace engineers Pavel Bartok

and Stefon Tark." Hm?

- I won't say anything more
without my solicitor.

- You do realize

what you came for?

- No.

But I will.
