First crossing?

Yes, Captain.

Don't let the icebergs intimidate you.

They are really quite majestic.

Yeah, I guess they are.

I hope you're not worried about the weather.

Oh, no.

Should I be?

We're going to hit a little rough patch later,

but trust me, that's part of the fun.

You might be wiser to get off the deck.

Warmer and drier inside.

Of course.

Thank you, Captain.

Okay.

Passengers are reminded that returning to their vehicles

during the crossing...

Jada! Are you coming?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay. I'm coming. I'm coming.

There's no running on this ship.

- Yeah, yeah... - It's against regulations.

Right? Good to know.

Thanks.

Environment Canada just issued an overnight warning.

Storm's shifted, headed straight our way.

50 knots. Should we alter course?

Keep it fast and steady, First Mate Soan.

Aye, Sir.

Officer Hicks, deploy the stabilisers.

Let's make sure the passengers don't find out

what it's really like to be at sea.

Aye-aye, Captain.

Passengers are reminded that returning to your vehicles

during the crossing is strictly prohibited.

Hey.

What's up?

Hold on.

You sure?

Don't worry.

I can handle it.

Arlo!

You can't be here.

Arlo!

Haven't found your sea legs yet, huh?

Apparently not.

You don't have this problem?

I used to work on cruise ships way back when.

I'm Nina, and this social media wiz is my daughter, Jada.

Susan.

Pleased to meet you.

So what takes you to Newfoundland?

Oh, I didn't mean to pry.

No, it's okay. It's...

I'm trying to break an old habit.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm...

Sorry.

Ty, I got to take Solo for a walk.

OK, but be careful.

Winds are at 55 knots and increasing, Captain.

Yeah. I'm headed to the engine room.

That lube pump is acting up again.

- Captain... - Just keep her on autopilot.

Hold her steady until I get back.

That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Garrison ship line welcomes you to enjoy a gourmet dinner...

Mom, I don't feel so good.

Then stop texting.

Why don't you go lie down?

No. No way.

It'll just make it worse.

I'll go find some Dramamine. Stay here.

The family movie will commence in half an hour

in our brand new theatre.

Queen of the Narrows, this is Harbour Cove Coast Guard.

- Do you copy? - I copy.

The region to your north has been upgraded

to severe storm warning.

Roger that, Coast Guard. Chief Officer Hicks here.

We're aware of the situation and we're monitoring it closely.

We suggest you delay your turn by 50 kilometers to avoid

the most severe sector.

Thanks. But Captain's given us our orders.

We're going to stick to the course.

Queen of the Narrows out.

Jessica!

All crew and passengers...

What the hell?!

Captain Turner, do you copy?

I don't understand what's happening here.

Captain Turner, do you copy?

This is an emergency.

This is not a drill.

Lifejackets are to be put on as soon as possible.

All crew and passengers to muster stations.

We're taking on water.

The engines are failing, Jess.

Mayday. Mayday. This is Queen of the Narrows.

Requesting immediate assistance. Mayday, mayday.

Queen of the Narrows, this is Harbour Cove Coast Guard.

Coast Guard, we are listing hard. We are taking on water.

I need all ships in the vicinity.

Do you copy?

Queen of the Narrows, this is the USS Alameda.

We're on our way.

This is not a drill. Lifejackets to be put on immediately.

Careful.

- How far up to the lifeboats? - Three more decks.

We're never going to get through this way.

I don't want to leave Jada out there alone.

There has to be another way.

All ships. All ships.

This is the Coast Guard responding to a mayday.

Terry-Lynn.

- What's going on? - It's the Queen of the Narrows.

Your brother's still in the bridge, right?

Queen of the Narrows, what's your status?

Copy that, Mary Ambrose.

Mary Ambrose, once you go north side...

Ellen Shirley, this is OFC. You're going outbound Harbour Cove.

What do we do now?

An engineer once told me, if you can't go up...

..you go down.

Down? Are you sure?

Mayday, mayday. Mayday.

This is the Queen of the Narrows.

Coast Guard, do you copy?

Queen of the Narrows, this is the Coast Guard.

All vessels have been notified.

We are evacuating ship.

The Queen of the Narrows out.

Go!

Everyone, go! Go!

Tyler!

Tyler!

This is an emergency.

This is not a drill.

Lifejackets to be put on...

Come on!

Behind me. Go!

Right through to the safety boats. Right into the safety boats.

Hold on to a railing if you can.

Let her down!

Annie, do you copy? You're approaching the coordinates now.

Copy that.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. I've got people in rafts.

The waves are too big.

We need support. We need more support boats.

Queen of the Narrows, this is the Harbour Cove Coast Guard.

Do you copy?

Queen of the Narrows.

Queen of the Narrows, this is Harbour Cove Coast Guard.

Do you read?

Coast Guard, this is Captain Banks.

What is her status?

I've just lost the Queen on the radar.

Copy that.

We're going to need all hands on deck for a search and rescue.

With the storm having passed hours ago, local boats have joined

the Coast Guard and U.S. Navy off the coast of Newfoundland

in a desperate attempt to rescue survivors

of the Queen of the Narrows.

People around the world are waiting anxiously

as the FTSA begins its investigation.

Kendra, we got here just ahead of you.

Yeah. Glad to have you back. Michelle, welcome to the team.

Hi.

The Coast Guard's given us space to set up in their command,

and I've started registering survivors.

How many so far?

Just under 200.

Right. And how many on the manifest?

- Well, was it 4... - 493, including crew.

So almost 300 people still missing.

Mr. Hayes. Mr. Hayes.

Commander Terry-Lynn Crawford. Harbour Cove Coast Guard.

Nice to meet you. Call me Dom.

The FTSA team is just up here.

Great. What's the situation on the water?

Reports are that most of the passengers were still

in their cabins when the storm hit.

There's very little time for them to get to the lifeboats.

Yeah, the ferry's radar went dead just 32 minutes

after the initial mayday.

32 minutes?

That's fast.

Really fast.

Dom.

Thanks for getting here so quickly.

Glad I was on this side of the pond.

- Theo. - Dom.

Michelle. Dom.

I'm the new victim liaison.

Nice to meet you.

So the Canadians have agreed to give us lead on the investigation.

Yeah, it's a US ferry line.

Most of the passengers are American tourists.

Ottawa has agreed to step back.

U.S. Navy vessels were one of the first on scene,

so we will be coordinating with them as well.

Can you ask the Navy captain to get in touch with us?

We'll do.

32 minutes.

No matter what happened on that ferry, it shouldn't have sunk that fast.

Not by any stretch. A vessel like that...

It should have stayed on the surface for hours, if not days.

What about the ferry captain? Did he survive?

The Coast Guard told me that the captain left the bridge

for the engine room before the crisis.

He's... He's presumed lost.

He left before?

Yeah.

Who's the most senior officer to survive?

Chief Officer Jessica Hicks.

She called in the mayday.

Okay. Let's go and talk to her.

Chief Officer Jessica Hicks, Kendra Malley, Dom Hayes from the FTSA.

Are you alright if we ask you some questions?

Yeah.

We heard the captain left the bridge to go below.

Do you know why?

Trouble with the boiler?

I don't...

I don't know if it burst or...

I couldn't get a hold of him or anyone down there.

Leaving you in sole command of the bridge?

Yeah.

I took my scheduled turn north towards Saint John's

and then all of a sudden there's this large bang.

Like an explosion?

I don't know if there was ice under the water or something,

but it shook the whole ship.

I shouldn't have made that turn.

I grew up in these waters, Jess.

I haven't seen anything this bad before.

We should skip the turn.

The Coast Guard told me to delay and I didn't.

- I had my orders. - From the Captain?

How long have you been Chief Officer?

Six weeks.

I should have been the one going down with the ship.

But First Mate, Dave, he threw me in a lifeboat.

There's room for one more.

I stay until the end.

Marry me if we get out of this, OK?

- What? - You heard me.

Get in.

No one should ever go down with the ship.

You saved lives out there.

Kendra, Dom, the eyewitness to the ship sinking, Annie Sullivan,

is down this way.

OK.

Somebody will look after you. OK?

- OK. - I'm so sorry.

Dave!

It's okay.

I'll make it.

- Kendra? - Yeah?

I'm going to set up the command center.

- Call me if you need anything. - Sure.

Setting sail with a faulty boiler and a bad weather report -

that could be viewed as negligence.

Yeah. We need to track down the owner's maintenance report.

See what else was wrong with the ship.

Annie Sullivan?

Kendra Malley.

I understand that you saw the ferry before it sank.

No. I saw her lights once or twice through the waves, maybe.

And then I had to turn around.

Look, I got to get back out there.

Her brother's still missing. He's the first mate.

Dave? Yeah. I just spoke to Chief Officer Jessica Hicks.

She said that he pushed her in a lifeboat.

It sounds like Dave.

Tell her not to worry. I'll find him.

Come on, my love. Come on.

Let's get you off.

Here, I'll take this.

- Whoa! Careful. Careful. - I've got you. I've got you.

Her name's Jada.

Pulled her out of the water half frozen.

I have no idea how she survived.

She was just floating on the surface.

An angel saved me.

He came up from below.

He had wings.

My mom's gone, isn't she?

Look, you're safe now, all right?

She went down below the cabin just before, because of me.

It's okay.

It's alright. It's alright.

- It's alright. - She did work on ships.

She might have found a way out. Right?

Maybe I can... I can try and find her.

Could you tell me her name?

Nina Collins.

All right, why don't we get you checked out?

Let's go to somewhere warm. Come on.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

What can I help you with?

Do you know where they're taking the dead?

Oh, we don't...

We can't release that information just yet.

- But if you just... - Forget it, I'll find it myself.

Survivors all say the same thing.

There was a bang. And then the ferry immediately began to list.

30 minutes later, it was gone.

We need to get in touch with that Navy captain.

Yeah, see if he actually saw the ferry go down.

What do you think of the girl's story

about being saved by a spectral being?

I don't know. I think she saw something.

Something her mind can't quite grapple with.

Where is she?

I need to speak with her.

You're the investigator, right?

- Yeah. - Because I know who did this.

I know who sank that ferry.

Who did it?

Arlo Shank.

I saw him creeping below deck last night.

Hey, Arlo!

Arlo!

They should have listened to me!

You'll be sorry one day.

This ship's going down!

But the numbers look bleak currently,

with only half the ship's passengers accounted for.

Investigators believe there is little chance for remaining

survivors in the frigid Atlantic waters.

Meanwhile, Garrison Ship Lines, owner of the Queen of the Narrows,

offered condolences and prayers to the family and friends

of the victims.

You can be sure we plan to fully cooperate.

Hey, you have the list of people who got rescued, right?

Yes.

Well, some of them.

Who are you looking for?

My boyfriend, Tyler Lupinski.

Huh. He's not on the passenger list.

Be careful.

Keep your eyes out.

What's your name?

You know what? It's okay.

Don't worry. It's fine.

No, no, if there's people left off this list,

we do need to know that.

You know, why don't you come with me...?

No, really.

It's okay.

Don't tell anybody. OK?

Are you in trouble?

Hey. It's okay.

My job here is to help the survivors.

That's it.

I promise you can talk to me.

Tyler wanted to come back home.

We just didn't have any money.

You snuck on.

I left him in the car deck.

And now I've lost them both.

Tyler!

Just, they'll send me back to Guatemala if they find out.

I don't have my papers.

It's okay. I won't tell.

Here.

Here. Take my card and check in with me, OK?

Here.

- Oh, no, no, no. - It's okay. It's okay.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

There's food.

Stay warm. OK?

Thanks.

Kendra. Hey, we're just finishing setting up in here.

Is the Coast Guard OK with lending us the space?

Yeah. Terry-Lynn was saying that the space

is predominantly used for training purposes,

and they're between sessions, so we should be good.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Is this a satellite image of the ferry?

Yeah, it's from minutes before it sank.

That's the Queen of the Narrows there.

And those are icebergs.

So the ferry has to cut through what they call Iceberg Alley.

What the hell just happened?

The largest surface level ones, they're visible on radar,

but the ice below the surface, it's...

It's almost impossible to detect, even for the ships.

The ferry's last mayday signal has it sinking right there.

It cut through the eye of the storm.

Apparently. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm just about to run some calculations

and the estimated position on the ocean floor,

taking the currents and the storm into account.

OK.

Oh.

Did the ferry have a voyage data recorder?

Yes. Whether or not we can access it depends on how the vessel actually

settled on the bottom.

Yeah. Yeah.

We are going to have to dive down at some point,

get a good look at the hull,

after search and rescue operations is over, obviously.

Theo?

Sorry. I was just distracted.

How were the last few months? Did they do you well?

Absolutely. Yeah, I'm feeling great.

Anyway, I better get the tech team up and running, so...

- Hey. - Dom.

That crew member story checks out.

I've got a picture of Arlo Shank here.

He was let go a couple of months ago,

but he kept showing up for work anyway.

He was let go and no one said anything?

But apparently he was a paying customer.

Some of the crew thought, well, it matters not.

But everyone agreed he was odd.

Odd?

Odd in what sense?

He was always wandering around where he didn't belong,

taking pictures, as if he was on some kind of mission.

Is he still missing?

Yes.

Lives here in Newfoundland with his mother.

We should pay her a visit.

You sure you want me to take co-lead with you?

Only if you think you're up for it.

Oh, come on.

You practically grew up on the sea, didn't you?

Kendra Malley?

Kevin Coleman Banks. USS Alameda.

A pleasure to meet you.

Dom Hayes, FTSA.

Did you make it there in time to see the ship go down?

Only lifeboats and people in the water by the time we got there.

We saved as many as we could.

But I don't understand why that ship went down so quickly.

- Was it ice? - Possibly.

No, that was an ice class vessel.

Yes, exactly.

It should have ploughed through anything it encountered this time of year.

Though, with climate change,

I mean, the traditional seasonal ice floe is changing rapidly.

True.

Captain Banks, do you think your crew can collect any debris

they may come across?

We're setting up evidence holding here.

Absolutely.

Consider the Alameda at your disposal for as long as you need.

That's much appreciated.

After what I witnessed this morning, I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, sorry. I've got to get this.

Kendra Malley.

Yes, of course.

- Sure. Theo? - Yeah.

Michelle asked around about all the families been here

for five generations.

Mother was widowed when he was just a kid and everyone thought well

of the father.

But not of Arlo, huh?

He was an odd kid, apparently.

You know small towns, right?

People either bind together or tear each other apart.

Same as everywhere, I suppose.

Margery Shank?

Arlo?

Is he gone?

There's a... there's no word yet.

We're just here to ask some questions, Ms Shank.

Come in.

Arlo always loved boats, even when he was little.

That job meant everything to him.

He must have been very upset when he was let go.

What are you talking about?

I picked him up at the dock last week. Same as always.

Mrs. Shank, Arlo was let go a few months ago.

No.

Maybe he was too embarrassed to tell you.

No, he was not.

No, no, no. Arlo told me everything.

Arlo was on board as a paying customer.

He went to work every day.

He rang.

Mrs Shank, has Arlo's behaviour changed in the last few months?

Perhaps became more angry?

No. No.

Well...

Other people might see him that way, but he...

God. Now I'm talking about him like he's gone.

But he could still be out there, right? I mean, there's still...

They're still finding people.

Yeah. Yeah, they are.

They are, Mrs Shank.

They are.

Look, I'm sorry. I know this must be a bit of a shock for you.

Maybe... maybe you should just take a little time.

Yes. Perhaps...

Perhaps we could all do with a cup of tea.

Kitchen's that way, right?

Yeah.

It's through here.

What are you doing in here?

This is Arlo's room.

Yes. Yeah, he... He doesn't even let me in here.

Reminds me of my own son's room.

Really?

These are the blueprints to the Queen of the Narrows.

Yeah.

We need to take this for evidence.

Evidence?

Should I be calling a lawyer?

No need to panic, Mrs. Shank.

I'm sure that Arlo and you would want to help

with the investigation, wouldn't you?

Yeah, yeah.

May I?

Do you mind if we just look around?

Just be careful.

Of course.

Is that everything?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Are you with the investigation?

Yeah. Theo Barker. FTSA. Is there something I can help you with?

I'm an insurance adjuster representing some of the families.

You couldn't fill me in on the investigation so far, could you?

Obviously, people are anxious to know what's going on.

- Keep calling me. - Look, I'm sorry.

We don't release any information prior to our final report.

Ah, I see.

Who's actually in charge of the investigation?

Maybe they know more.

Kendra Malley and Dominic Hayes.

Look, we have someone on our team

who could help you update the families.

If you give me your card, I could put her in touch.

Oh, I left them in the car.

Look, I'm going to be around for a few days,

so I'll drop in with you later.

We're at the Coast Guard station.

Thank you, Theo.

Yeah. It's me.

I'm working on it.

Yeah.

Roddy.

Roddy, Roddy.

- Gregg, Gregg. Calm down. - Let me see.

It's not him. It's not him.

It's not Roddy.

Okay, calm down, Gregg.

All right.

I'm good. I'm good.

Now go home.

If I find them, I will personally call you.

The only reason you wanna find him alive is to throw him in jail.

You're nothing but a goddamn vulture.

I'm just trying to do my job, Gregg.

You and I both know you're better off without him.

Screw you and your badge.

- Kendra Malley, FTSA. - I'm Dominic Hayes.

Welcome to the island.

Detective Shakir Urgessa.

Local police? You're looking for someone?

Yeah. Truck driver.

Name is Roddy Sills.

You seen him?

That was his husband, Gregg Walsh.

We had a warrant to check his vehicle as soon as he docked

here in Saint John's.

What were you expecting to find?

Contraband.

- Well, can you be more specific? - Sorry, I can't.

Detective, we're on the same team here.

Could it have been explosives?

No, nothing like that.

Look, I wish I could say more.

If Sills turns up or his remains,

please give me a call.

Otherwise, I'll stay out of your hair.

- Theo? - Yeah.

I'm going to be sending you the initial interviews

of the survivors as they come in.

Great. Thanks. That will be a big help.

Yeah, though so far, no one seems to have seen anything, so...

- So this is... - Cell phone videos.

Yeah, we can use them to chart what was happening on different decks

at different times.

These are passengers' phones.

Yeah. People were livestreaming while it was going down.

Some of these people didn't make it home.

Yeah.

Can I have access to these, actually?

Because I might be able to identify some of the missing people.

Sure. I'll forward them to you.

Great. Thank you.

I feel fine. Really.

What? What is it?

That young guy there?

I spoke to a Lilly.

She said her boyfriend, Tyler, was missing.

If you can't go up, you go down.

Are you sure, Nina?

Wait. But why did that woman tell them to go deeper into the ship?

Right.

So what have we got here?

A young man too embarrassed to tell his mother that he's lost his job

or a fired employee set on revenge?

Could be both.

Yeah.

Either way, one thing we do know is Arlo Shank is clearly obsessed

with ships, isn't he?

You don't say.

What do you want to do with the rest of the stuff in his room?

Get a warrant.

- Guys? - Yeah.

You should see this.

What is it?

Check this out.

If you can't go up, you go down.

She's leading passengers deeper into the ship?

Down? Are you sure, Nina?

Freeze that image, would you, please?

Michelle, can you check the manifest for a Nina... a Nina someone?

Yeah.

Nina Collins.

That's it. That must be her.

You know her?

No, I met her daughter.

She said that her mother was on the lower decks when the ferry went down.

One second.

So the video footage was taken in Section D.

Right, so that would put them around there.

They'd need to find some trapped air.

Wouldn't it all just escape as it sank?

Most would. You're right.

But there would be pockets.

You'll see air bubbles coming up from wrecks for days, weeks, even.

Theo, do you have a cross-section?

Yeah.

Right. But where would they go where they knew they could find oxygen?

Well, if you knew your way around a ship, here.

Ballast number four.

Air tight and directly below their position.

We need to find out if they made it there.

Call Banks and get a hydrophone for echolocation.

It's okay. We are all right.

I can't believe you knew there'd be air in the ballast tank.

I didn't think it was true.

Now no one in the world knows we're down here.

Kendra.

My crew is prepping the hydrophone.

If anything makes a noise down there, we'll hear it.

It's a long shot.

Yes, it is.

It's all set. Your crew is ready to go.

This is the USS Alameda.

Do you copy, command?

Go ahead, Alameda. This is Banks.

Lowering the hydrophone now, Captain.

It will take a few minutes for the device to reach depth.

Roger that.

All yours for signs of life, people.

Let's hope for the best.

You should take a break.

Save your strength.

He's the same age as my Jada.

Do you have any children?

Didn't want any?

It's complicated.

I used to be a nun.

What happened?

I lost my faith a long time ago.

This trip, I...

..finally got up the courage to face the truth and walk away.

I met a man online.

I'm meeting him in Newfoundland.

Yeah, left God for a blind date, huh?

God left me years back.

He just...

..stopped.

He sent you here to me.

He sent you here for a reason.

You believe that's true?

I do.

They've just reached the ferry.

Nothing yet.

Why don't you tell me about Jada?

She seems lovely.

She is.

Except for when she isn't.

Isn't that all teenagers?

She's asking a lot of questions that I don't want to have to answer.

What kind of questions?

I haven't told her who her father is. And she wants to know.

Why didn't you tell her?

I barely knew him.

It was just a few days kind of thing.

Tell me.

- I really did love him. - Mm.

But he got a job on another ship.

Does he know that he has a daughter?

I haven't tried to find him.

And I was afraid he'd turn his back on us.

You'll find him when you get out of here. I'm sure of it.

I should have gone with them. I should have gone with them.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

No, Lilly left with our dog, Solo.

I met them.

- You did? - Yes.

Yes. Lilly was on her way up.

Solo.

Oh.

He shouldn't be up here.

That's OK. I won't tell.

She's okay. I'm sure of it.

Oh, good. Oh, good. Thank you so much.

- Shh. - You need rest.

We've tracked the corridors leading to the ballast.

Nothing yet, sir.

Roger that.

How long will they try for?

The hydrophone is extremely sensitive. So...

There's nothing to hear.

God.

Sorry, sir.

That was the hydrophone brushing up against the ocean floor.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing.

Well, can't you try a bit longer?

Let's give it one more sweep.

He leadeth me by still waters

He restores my soul...

Susan.

Susan.

Susan, no.

- It's alright. - No.

I'm not afraid.

Still nothing.

I think I'm going to have to call this.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

We did all we could.

No!

We have signs of life, sir.

I repeat - signs of life.

Get your men down there.

You are go. Commence rescue operations.

No!
