Hey! Are you okay?

Yeah.

There's a pissed-off coast guard captain

Waiting in there for you. I know.

Where are they doing the crew blood and urine testing?

Upstairs-- the nurse is already there.

All right, let's go.

Agent molaro!

Hold up!

I'm having you brought up on disciplinary charges.

There was a man stuck on that bridge.

If I hadn't gotten him out, he'd still be in there.

I personally cleared the bridge before you got there.

I closed that door myself.

Well, then you accidentally locked someone in.

Don't deflect, molaro.

I checked.

It was clear.

There was a man on that bridge.

He knocked me over.

You could pick this man out from a photo?

I could provide you with some.

I didn't see his face.

Oh, why am I not surprised?

I'm not lying.

It doesn't alter the fact that you risked a dozen lives

For a metal box.

This metal box is what's gonna tell us

Why there's a three-acre raging inferno

Floating in the ocean, sir.

Oh! Very sorry.

You okay?

All right, let's see what we got here.

What?

No... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Why, why? Let me see.

Why does it say "empty"?

Damn it!

It could've been damaged in a power surge,

Or maybe the ship was hit by lightning.

All right, what do we know about the ship's captain?

Uh...

Here's his file.

Single. No kids.

One prior incident at sea, but he was cleared.

Mechanical failure.

Let me see.

Yes?

Hi, I'm agent ellen molaro

With the national accident investigation agency.

How are you feeling?

I've had better days.

What can I do for you?

I just have a few questions for you.

It won't take more than a minute of your time.

Can I sit?

It's okay, charlie, you've done nothing wrong.

Okay, ready?

Captain charles wilson,

You were on the bridge of the starline empress last night.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Who else was on the bridge with you?

No one.

The watch officer had a stomach bug.

I took his shift.

Are you a drinker?

Not when I'm working.

How would you describe your drinking?

Light, moderate, heavy?

I told you I don't drink when I'm working.

Easy, babe.

Are you on any prescription medications?

They gave me two white pills in the ambulance

And a big blue one about ten minutes ago.

Okay.

How much sleep have you had in the past 72 hours?

More than you, by the looks of it.

Charlie!

Look, I know what she's getting at, okay?

I did nothing wrong.

She has to ask the questions. It's her job.

Her job is to get people into trouble.

You're not in trouble.

The fact that I'm sitting here

Talking to you right now is proof,

Because I don't investigate criminal cases, so.

No, you investigate negligence.

I was not negligent.

I investigate accidents.

So, if you weren't negligent,

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Look, I realized we were off course

When I saw the navigation lights on the oil platform.

I switched the helm into manual,

But it was too late.

And when we hit, I fell, I hit my head.

I don't remember anything after that.

You were 18 miles off course.

Look, we knew the storm was coming, but it came on so fast.

Mm-hmm.

Automatic pilot should've taken care of it, but...

I don't know, must've been an electrical issue somewhere.

Has michael called yet?

Yes, the watch officer tested positive

For salmonella poisoning.

Everyone else was in the clear.

He's organizing meetings at the regional office.

Captain wilson's federal license,

Pilotage endorsement and employment records,

All clean as a whistle. All right.

I wanna do a follow-up with him, okay?

His lawyer's a total hard-ass, though,

So don't take no for an answer.

The weather service sent over the satellite data,

As well as the direction and intensity of the wind

Prior to and following the accident.

Info on water currents in the area.

Michael, please give me good news.

Nothing, I'm sorry.

Nothing? Not a single residual?

This hard drive is brain dead.

It's completely blank.

Thoughts?

Power surge to the main computer

Or some sort of electromagnetic burst.

Maybe a lightning strike.

Do you think it's possible

That someone could've done it on purpose?

With a strong enough degausser,

It could be done pretty quickly, sure.

Wait, what are you saying here?

I'm just covering all the angles.

All right, thanks, michael.

Riley wants to see you.

All right, five minutes.

Sit down, ellie.

I've just had rear admiral quist on the phone.

The captain of the cutter you were on has lodged a complaint.

He says that you didn't follow his orders

To abandon the freighter.

I saved a man's life.

He was on the bridge; they would've left without him.

Well, he says that captain dahl investigated your claim,

But has yet to find anyone to attest to your story.

Well, have we talked to everyone yet?

He would've been on one of those cutters that left,

So we just need to look at the list and figure--

Right, none of this changes the fact

That you disobeyed a direct order.

I took a calculated risk, okay?

We needed the hard drive.

It wasn't an option.

You endangered your life and the lives of his crew

For a hard drive that apparently had nothing on it.

I'm sorry, this isn't a discussion.

I'm gonna talk to admiral quist,

Figure out how to deal with this.

I'll fill you in afterwards.

clean-up and rescue crews from five states are helping deal

With this massive environmental disaster.

Congress met in an emergency session this morning

To discuss ways of expediting the clean-up process,

The cost of which will likely run

Into the billions of dollars.

At 3:00 a.M. This morning,

The freighter, the starline empress,

Entered the eldridge oil field

And ran into the main oil platform.

You think I'm making it up.

It doesn't matter what I think.

So what do they want?

Suspension, at least.

They consider this a very serious offense.

Sit on it. What?

Sit on it for a couple days, a week, tops.

I don't have time to deal with this right now, okay?

Well, you should've thought about that

Before you went running onto a sinking ship!

I sent you on vacation because you're overworked.

You don't know how to turn off.

All right, if I had not been there,

The hard drive would be at the bottom of the ocean right now.

The hard drive was damaged! It tells us nothing!

Well, someone could have erased it.

You're talking crazy, you know that?

Do-- do you hear yourself?

Okay, well, the only other explanation

Is that it was struck by lightning,

And that's about as likely as being struck by lightning.

You realize what you're saying?

I'm not saying anything!

I am trying to be thorough here!

Riley, the odds of hitting that oil platform,

They were a million to one!

We have one eyewitness, okay?

We have one eyewitness, and we have no data.

No data to corroborate whatever story

The captain of the freighter's giving us.

So what is this telling us?

This is what I'm talking about.

You need to step back, ellie.

listen very carefully, agent molaro,

Because I'm not gonna repeat myself. Who is this?

Several large scale disasters that have occurred in the us

Over the last few years were not accidents.

They were planned catastrophes.

I don't have time for cranks right now, so...

I know why the starline empress rammed that oil platform,

And I also know that you are suspicious.

How did you get this number?

Your instincts are correct, agent molaro.

When you account for the crew, one will be missing.

He's responsible.

He's one of them. "them"?

Someone in your office is supplying them with information.

Right now, the only person I can rule out is you,

So don't say a word about this to anyone

No, not really.

Although we did lose power pretty much on impact.

How long have you been working for captain wilson?

Going on four years now.

Has he ever done anything

That's made you question his capabilities?

Don't answer that.

The skipper's a good man.

How many seamen work onboard the starline empress?

We're a full crew at 22.

22.

Do you consider yourself a pretty good judge of character?

Again, I don't see how that's relevant.

Pretty plain.

Didn't talk much.

Didn't make much of an effort to fit in.

No.

It takes less than five seconds to wipe it clean.

Yeah, I know what a degausser is.

How did you know about the hard drive?

Because I know how these people work.

They are meticulous.

They knew exactly when the storm would hit that oil rig

And that it would mask the fact

That the freighter collision was pre-planned.

Look, I don't even know why I'm here in the first place,

But you need to give me something more

Than just idle hearsay.

Understand?

Over the last few years,

Man-made disasters in the us have been at an all-time high.

Plane crashes, industrial explosions, toxic spills.

We're averaging over $120 billion

In economic losses per year,

$40 billion in insured losses.

Why are you telling me this?

What is that?

Twenty of our most catastrophic disasters.

But these are special.

January 2nd, 2006.

They caused the sago mine disaster

By triggering a methane ignition

Using a tiny undetectable incendiary device.

A year later, they set off the new york city steam explosion.

2008, the chatsworth train collision.

2010, the connecticut power plant explosion.

All showing no evidence of wrongdoing.

You keep saying "they" and "them."

What are you saying, that these weren't accidents?

That they were carried out by some kind of...

Secret organization?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

It's what you suspect.

It's what I suspect?

No, I don't suspect that.

I have genuine concerns about the oil rig.

That's it.

So, you should probably go and talk

About your crazy conspiracy theories

The 2007 mississippi river bridge collapse

You're not telling me anything I don't already know.

The bridge collapse was carried out

By using the acid to accelerate the erosion

Of key structural joints.

That's why it wasn't in the engineering report.

At that point, it just became a matter of applying

No more disguises.

Carter... Okay, carter.

I'm sure that's not your real name.

I want you to be straight with me, okay?

No innuendo. No conjecture.

Years ago, I became aware of a group of people

Who were responsible for certain catastrophic events

That were made to look like accidents.

You became aware?

You do realize how crazy that sounds, right?

It doesn't make it false.

There are people behind these disasters,

People like your missing sailor,

Professional saboteurs, highly trained mercenaries,

People with the resources and the ability

To plan and carry out acts of large-scale destruction.

Why?

Why would anyone have motive to do such a thing?

Do you play the stock market?

Not on my salary.

As a whole, universally, stocks go down after a big disaster.

Certain companies, stocks rise,

Companies you might not even think would be affected

By the event itself.

This is all about the stock market?

Billions can be made knowing when a catastrophe's gonna hit.

The freighter crash?

The shipping company's stocks plummeted

While stocks in new oil clean-up technology skyrocketed.

What about the bridge collapse?

Construction company stocks.

So my family died for a stock market play?

They were considered acceptable collateral losses.

I know that bridge collapse was why you chose your profession.

You don't know that.

You figured you become an agent,

You could save some lives.

I'm offering you the opportunity

To stop the people that killed your family,

To provide you with some closure.

Why do you want to provide me with closure?

What about you?

What kind of closure are you hoping to get?

Okay, if these guys are real

And they're as meticulous as you're saying they are,

Do you really think

They're gonna let one man stop their game?

Hey, just the man I'm looking for.

What do you need here? More agents.

I've got 20 sifting through debris,

But I need five times that many.

Riley's coordinating with the regional offices.

We'll start trucking 'em in, okay? Okay.

that's probably him calling now.

Figured I'd be hearing from you.

they're accelerating.

The freighter crash was last week.

They've never come this frequently.

Well, it could be a coincidence.

Accidents do happen, you know.

Well, it's a good thing we're here.

We?

Look to your left.

See the man with the blue cap standing by the shelving?

Wow, you really do like to dress up!

I was on the same flight as you.

Figured we'd get more done in person.

Impersonating an agent's a federal offense, you know.

Well, then, I better not get caught.

This is good enough to get past the police barricades,

But it won't hold up in those tents,

And I need to see what's in that tent down there at the end.

That's where the crossing-gate wreckage is.

Let me guess.

That's where I come in, right?

So, what do we know?

The train was transporting ammonium nitrate.

It struck a tanker truck full of diesel fuel.

Same combination used in the oklahoma bombing,

Only with ten times the quantity.

I'll bet you that train was re-routed

Because of a broken track.

That's right-- how did you know that?

There are 6,000 vehicle-train crashes per year,

Mostly at crossing gates.

The chances of that one happening

With that exact combination...

We still haven't found the remains of the truck driver.

Oh, you won't find anything.

If he wasn't in on it,

He would've been vaporized in the blast.

All right.

What am I looking for?

A junction box.

What's left of one, anyway.

There's a ton of stuff in here, so bear with me, all right?

All right, I got it.

What's inside?

Hmm...

Looks like there's some damage here.

Send me a picture?

Did you get it?

Well, that explains how the crossing gate got stuck

In the up position.

It looks like regular wear and tear to me.

Rubber-coated wire like that takes 20 years to crack.

That junction box is less than five years old.

This was aged by a sustained blast of co2

Until it shorted out.

Any way to prove it?

The lab reports will come back inconclusive.

That still doesn't explain how they got the right truck

In position at exactly the right time.

The driver had to have been in on it, right?

Doubtful.

The timing could've been adjusted by a lead vehicle.

Then they blew his engine by a remote,

Probably triggered by the driver.

Again, how are we gonna prove this?

I mean, you really, really, genuinely believe

They're this meticulous?

You can only imagine.

I don't wanna imagine.

They check and double-check every detail.

They do not miss a trick.

They have every base covered.

But they are human,

And they can make mistakes too.

How do you know so much about them?

We need to dig deeper.

If they rigged the engine, they would've needed access.

Could've happened in a lot or a garage.

I'd start with the trucking company.

We got the extra agents. Thanks.

Great.

Um, hey, has anyone checked out the trucking company yet?

Not yet, it's on the list.

Okay, could I get the address for them?

Because you don't actually work for the naia.

I got a badge that says I do.

Look, if anyone finds out about this,

I'm gonna get fired, all right?

Oh, it'll be far worse than that.

You'll probably go to prison.

Really?

We're committing a felony right this second.

We are not doing anything.

I'm just standing here, so...

Done.

There you go, partner.

Don't call me partner.

All right, what have we got?

Menus, junk, junk.

Bingo!

A bill for a delivery address.

I don't see a delivery address, do you?

Hmm...

Hey! Hi, yes.

Yes, uh, I'm calling about a package that never arrived.

Last name monroe.

Bill number 4-5-6-6-8-3-4.

What do you have down as my delivery address?

1340 seville, kensington?

That's it. Thank you!

Let's go.

Okay, I'm gonna ask him some questions

About the truck maintenance

And then, when we leave, if I think he's involved,

I'm calling the police, okay?

He's definitely involved, and we're not calling the police.

In fact, you shouldn't be around for this.

I shouldn't be around for this?

What are you talking about? I'm the real agent here.

I'm doing my job.

These people are not a part of the world you know.

They are dangerous in every way

And dealing with them requires a certain...

Set of capabilities.

Oh, and you don't think I have those capabilities?

hmm.

I looked at the flash drive that you gave me.

A lot of classified naia information on there.

Like I said, someone you work with

Is supplying them with info.

Potential weak spots, security details.

I don't know what I'm doing here with you.

I really don't. I must be crazy.

I mean, I don't even know you.

Why is that important?

What do you want to know?

Oh, like if I asked you a question,

You would actually give me an honest answer?

How do you know?

I just figured a guy that likes to dress up isn't really likely

To be forthcoming with personal information.

Try me.

All right, what do you do for a living?

What does that have to do with anything?

See? Deflection.

Typical self-protective response.

They trained you well.

Start with what you know.

Well, I don't know much.

I know that you, you like to dress up,

And you have a very specific, peculiar skill set,

Which you use somehow to make a living.

I mean, your cell-phone bill alone has gotta be...

So?

I'm self-employed. Self-employed doing what?

Working for myself.

Pull over, we're here.

Wait here for three minutes,

And then just do what you'd normally do.

Where are you gonna be?

Close.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay, wha--

What if you're right?

What if I show up, and I knock on the door,

And it is one of them?

I suspect he'll maintain his cover until he feels threatened.

Then, who knows?

You could still back out.

Three minutes. Go.

♪

All right.

Mr. Monroe?

can I help you?

I'm agent molaro with the naia.

I have a few questions for you.

Actually, I was just leaving.

Well, I just need a couple minutes, so.

Okay.

Come on in.

Don't mind the mess.

ellie, get down!

Get in the car and stay there!

shit!

aaah!

You okay?

Not really.

You?

No, not really.

Come on.

Police!

Go, go, go!

Clear! Clear!

We're clear!

You go back?

Yeah, you were right.

They were in full police-procedure overdrive.

There was just a garbage bag full of cleaning supplies.

They won't find anything.

They'll be chasing shadows for months.

And for the record, I told you to stay put.

For the record, you told me to stay in the car.

I researched the train company.

Frontline trains are in talks

To ship oil from canada to the chicago canals.

This catastrophe will kill those negotiations.

They'll have to review their entire safety systems.

Company stocks will plummet, I assume.

I estimate 64% over the next three days.

Here, take this.

Put that in your computer at work. What is it?

It's a trojan. It's a trojan?

Oh, great, you want me to put a virus in my computer?

It's not a virus.

It'll monitor the activity on your network's database.

Let us know who's working with them,

What type of information they're passing.

Where is this all getting us?

I seriously feel like we're right back where we started.

Not exactly.

You used to think I was crazy.

so, she said she was naia.

that's what she said.

okay.

Tell me again.

Take your time.

She came to the door and...

Said she was naia.

And, uh...

She had question to ask for me.

Go on.

I told her, "I'm just leaving,"

But she didn't leave.

So, you pulled out your weapon?

Yes, I did it.

And you fired it? In public?

Yeah.

In spite of everything you've been taught.

Yes, I know. I--

I made a mistake.

Who was the guy?

I didn't see his face.

He came through the side of the house.

He was fast, though.

He knew what he was doing.

He kept coming at me.

You think it was him?

This agent...

You said her name was molaro?

Yeah, molaro.

And she definitely saw your face?

Yes, she did.

You still have the gun?

No.

I ditched it.

You know what to do.

Could you...

Step outside, please?

Sure.

He's working for the government?

I don't think so.

We would've heard about it.

He knows we've got someone inside naia.

No, if he's working with this agent,

He's working with her alone.

What does he think he can achieve?

You're asking the wrong guy.

You think he's got any info on us?

He killed grigor.

Maybe he got him to talk first.

No, grigor's solid.

If he knew the plan, he would've tried to stop us in chicago.

I've got an idea.

We can use this location to help us out of our predicament.

After you.

I'm gonna take these upstairs.

Yeah.

You know, this explosion in chicago

Is gonna work in our favor.

Yeah? How's that?

Attention's shifted, charlie, buys us time.

It's a lucky break.

How about the people who died?

What was it, 78?

That's not what you should be thinking about right now.

Really?

What the hell should I be thinking about?

Keeping your house, your life.

Why don't you stick around the house for a while?

I don't think you should talk to anyone.

What about the, uh, the naia?

This, uh... Agent molaro?

Especially the naia.

How do you think this, uh, investigation's going?

Just don't talk to anyone, and you'll be fine.

We've got you covered.

You have nothing to worry about, charlie.

Okay?

I'll let myself out.

Is he gone?

Yeah.

Hey!

I think it's time for you to make a call.

Are you ready for that?

I really need this thing to be over, you know?

It will be.

Soon.

I promise.

Riley's looking for you.

He has his serious face on.

This one.

What the hell happened?

You're not gonna believe me.

Try me.

You were sent down to assist in a train collision.

How do you wind up dodging bullets in inner-city chicago?

What if I told you there was a secret group

That's executed some of the nation's worst disasters?

They manipulate the stock market.

An oil spill here, a train crash there.

They short company stocks and they profit from the fallout.

It's real.

It's a real threat that needs to be investigated

Before it happens again,

And I can't go any further without your backing.

Who else have you told this to?

No one. Just you.

Good. Keep it that way.

My advice?

If this got out, your career would be over.

I need to take this.

Of course you do.

Agent molaro.

Captain wilson, how are you feeling?

I heard you got out of the hospital this morning.

Sure.

Whereabouts?

Okay.

All right.

I'll-- I'll see you then.

Thanks, bye.

Maybe he knows something.

What exactly did he say?

He said he wanted to meet with me,

That he had things to tell me about.

I don't know, he seemed nervous to me.

I don't like it.

Why?

When I met with him at the hospital...

I don't know.

Something was-- something was off about him.

His girlfriend was there with him,

And she was very sweet and very supportive,

But... I don't know.

I just sensed that there was something.

And then his pit bull lawyer came in, and that was that.

When's the meeting?

Tomorrow afternoon.

Where?

West virginia.

Call him back.

Tell him you wanna meet him in the city.

No, I'm not gonna do that.

What if I do, and then he changes his mind?

All right, I'm coming with you.

Carter, I don't need you to come with me, all right?

I'm fine, I can go by myself.

I'm coming with you, you follow?

I think we're near enough.

Okay, so-- don't tell me.

Wait three minutes, and then do what I normally do?

No, two is fine.

I don't think I need to remind you

That the last time I did what you said, I got shot at.

The last time you did what I said, I got shot at.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Then why are you here?

Because I'm cautious.

♪

Hi.

Hi, agent molaro, thank you for coming.

You remember steph?

Yes, good to see you again.

Hi, please come inside.

I just put the kettle on.

Oh, wow, this is such a great place.

Been in charlie's family for generations now,

And we needed to get away from it all for a while.

It's very isolated.

There's no cell-phone service.

There is a landline, though, if you need to make a call.

Okay, let's, uh, sit down.

Sure.

I have to say I was a little surprised when I got your call,

Especially without your lawyer.

Yeah, well, mccann works for gateway, not me.

When he finds out I'm doing this,

He's gonna hang me out to dry.

Tell her.

Just get it over with.

Okay, let's do this.

Okay.

You see his face?

Not yet.

Moves like him, though.

Affirmative, that's him.

I could take him out now.

No, wait for the signal.

Okay, I just need you to give me your name,

And just explain to me

Why you wanted me to come here today.

It's okay, just take your time.

My name is charles wilson.

I'm the captain of the starline empress.

On the night of August 14 at 2:55 am, I uh...

Crashed the freighter into an oil platform

Off the coast of maine.

You're doing great.

I had, uh, been drinking all day.

I don't quite remember exactly what I did or neglected to do.

You were drunk?

That's how this all happened?

Yeah, it's the truth, I can't--

I can't keep that in anymore.

I just can't.

Don't worry, honey.

You've done a great job.

I'm gonna go check on the tea.

Excuse me.

Captain wilson, I'm a little confused.

The toxicology report showed no sign of alcohol in your blood,

So how-- listen to me.

You have to get outta here now.

They're outside too.

What? Who?

Listen, I don't know this girl.

She's not my girlfriend.

She's what?

They made me call you and set up the meeting.

Look, I don't know this house.

I've never been here before.

I'm sorry.

But you have to get out of here now!

Okay, just tell me who.

Who made you do this?

Who?

Harris.

Now, he paid to come on board.

Now, he came to see me one night, and he offered me money.

Look, he told me he wanted me to--

Missed! He's on the move.

Ellie!

I'm here.

Let's go, come on! No, what about him?

Forget about him. Come on! Run!

They're blocking us. Get out now!

Run, run!

What happened?

He...

He came out of nowhere.

He had a gun.

So did you.

Duck behind this tree.

Get down.

still no signal.

Wilson and his-- they set me up.

They were trying to kill me.

That's what I was worried about.

Oh, now you tell me?

You didn't want me to come, remember?

All right, fine.

What now? Hang on!

don't move, don't move.

All right.

This way.

You ready? Yeah.

Let's go!

carter!

Carter!

We can still correct this.

We're going back to the house.

I can get him now.

All I need is one clear shot. No.

Just one! I said no!

We're going back to the house.

We're going early.

Hello?

My name is charles wilson.

I'm staying in the summer house at the end of meadowland drive.

There's an naia agent, agent--

Agent molaro.

She came into the house, she's got a gun--

She shot my girlfriend and...

Oh, no! No, please!

Why are you doing this?

No!

slow down! Where are we going?

The elk river's up ahead.

It'll take us to that fishing lodge we passed on the way.

That's five miles back.

We need to find the main road. It's too risky.

Stop! Slow down!

How does the guy that's trying to kill us know your name?

Answer me!

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god-- you-- you're working for them!

Don't be ridiculous.

Are you working for them? Calm down.

Are you using me?

Don't be ridiculous.

This is what you do for a living?

You-- you make accidents happen?

Accidents like the one that killed my family?

You lied to me!

I didn't lie to you.

If I was one of them, why would I be helping you try to escape?

What's that?

What?

Stay there.

What is it?

It looks like some kind of...

Bomb.

Bomb?

Oh, my god, they're here too.

We're standing in a tinder box--

Run! Go, go, go!

Ten seconds. I need longer than that.

Eight... Damn it, grant!

They're everywhere! Keep going straight!

Get to the river!

Three, two, one...

Aah!
