This is a true story. It's not gonna be easy to believe but the facts will speak

for themselves. I'm making this in case I'm not alive to tell of myself. I guess

that would make these my last words. I want to be clear I can never make up for what

I have done. My name is Donovan Carter and if you're listening to this message

it means I'm dead. But I still have a story to tell so here goes.

Hey! Open the door! It's stuck! Pull the handle!

Pull it! All right, do it together! Ready?

Go! You're welcome. Ellie. Ellie. 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. Nurse is already there. All right, let's go.

Agent Bolero! Hold out! 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 Bolero. I

checked. It was clear. There was a man on that bridge. He knocked me over. You

could pick this man up from a photo. I can 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?

Let's see what we got here. What? No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Why? Why? Why does

it say empty? Damn it. No, it could have been damaged in a power surge. Maybe the

ship was hit by lightning. What do we know about the ship's captain? Here's

his file. Single. No kids. One prior incident at sea, but he was cleared.

Mechanical failure. Let me see. What hospital did they take him to?

Veterans Memorial. Veterans Memorial. Okay. Thank you. Ship this up to the techs, all

right? See if they can salvage anything. Will do.

Do you have any updates? Agent Malaro. Captain Wilson? Yes. Hi, I'm agent Ellen

Malaro with the National Accident Investigation Agency. How are you

feeling? I've had better days. How 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 a shift. Are you a drinker? I'm 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 helmet to manual, but it was too late. When we hit, I fell, I hit

my head. I don't remember anything after that. You were 18 miles off

course. Well, look, we knew the storm was coming, but it came on so fast.

Automatic pilot shouldn't have taken care of it, but it must have been an

electrical issue somewhere. You think the ship maybe was struck by lightning?

Well, it's got... Who are you? I'm agent

Ellen Malara. Richards and Haley and Hart, we

represent Gateway Shipping. Any requests to speak with Captain Wilson are made

and approved through our office. Now, if you don't mind. Hope you feel better.

We'll be in touch.

Captain Wilson. Tyler, Gateway Shipping. See if they've been involved in any

other maritime disasters. On it. I need a new set of design specs on the Empress.

Mine got wet. I also need the oil rig certification, the registry, prior

disclosures, usual stuff. Got it. Where are we on the damage estimates? Still

waiting. The NOAA is sending a remote down to measure the fuel escaping

through the hull breach. And what about the well? A capping sack is three

hours away. They've had these shoes. Great. And one last thing. When did you

last eat? Just what I thought. A coffee and bagel coming. Which you will

eat. What would I do without you? Shrink. Thanks. 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 want to do a follow-up with him, okay? His lawyer is

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 search the main computer or some sort of

electromagnetic burst. Maybe a lightning strike? You think it's possible

that someone could have done it on purpose? With a strong enough degauss or

it could be done pretty quickly, sure. Wait, what are you saying here?

She's 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 have

left without him. Well, he says the captain don't investigate your claim but

has yet to find anyone to attest your story. Well, have we talked to

everyone yet? He would have been on one of those cutters that left, so we

just need to look at the list and figure out... 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.

Cleanup 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 cleanup process, the cost of which will

likely run into the billions of dollars. At 3 A.M. this morning the

freighter the Starline Empress entered the Elk Ridge oil field and ran

into the main oil platform. You think I'm making it up? 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? We should have thought

about that before we 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 sitting 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 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? What do you think?

This is what I'm talking about. You need to step back, Ellie. This bill is

gonna be in the news for months. They're gonna be looking for things to go

wrong. People to blame. I can't afford mistakes, especially

from one of our most recognizable agents. Anything else?

This is what happens when you leave the nest. That's where your bed used to be.

That's where you had your beloved Axl Rose

poster. There's the cupboard you locked me in for

taking your earrings. I had nightmares for a week.

Dinner's ready, Dad. Say hi to Ellie. Dad!

Gross. That's it, big sister. Same old thing.

Bye. Miss you.

Tyler, how are the interviews coming? We got statements from most of the crew

tomorrow afternoon. We have a few home

visits. All right, are they all accounted for?

Actually, no. Someone left for a job right away in Africa. Steven Harris.

Have you contacted him? His number's been disconnected. We're trying to track

him down, but he's a career deckhand. They're practically drifters. I don't

care what he does. If he was on that ship, I want him located, okay? Okay, on it.

You okay? I need you to set me up with Robert Samuels. He was one of the

seamen on the freighter ASAP. Sure thing. Any luck with Wilson's lawyer? No,

they're denying another interview unless Wilson's officially charged. Oh, they're

forcing us to subpoena. Great. Agent Malaro. Listen very carefully, Agent

Malaro, 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 ran that oil platform. And I also

know that you are suspicious. How did you get this number? Your instincts are

correct, Agent Malaro. When you account for the crew, one will be missing. He's

responsible. He's one of them. Them? Someone in your office 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 until I figure out who it is. I was not clear

out of it. Broke my ankle when I hit the floor. In the hour leading up to

the crash, do you remember any lightning strikes or power surges? Anything that

could have affected the onboard electronics? 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. Skipper's a good man.

How many seamen work on board the Starline Empress? We're a full crew of 22.

22. Do you consider yourself a pretty good judge of character? Again, I don't

see how that's relevant. All right, you know what? I can speak for myself, all.

right? Why are you even here? I didn't ask for a lawyer. I'm here for your

protection, Mr. Samuels. Oh yeah? And who protects me from you? Yeah, I can read

people pretty good. You have to when you live in close quarters like we do.

What about this guy? You recognize him? Oh yeah, that's Harris. Pretty plain.

Didn't talk much. Didn't make much of an effort to fit in. You work with him

before? No. He was hired in Greece when a deckhand jumped ship. Anything else

you can tell me about him? I'll be honest with you, I barely knew the guy.

He worked hard and he wasn't annoying. That's all I need to know about a

person to get along, you know? Thanks. How was the flight? Late.

Hungry? No, thank you. You're only second on the right. Great. What happened

to Gregor? Dead. Who did it? Who do you think? Well, at least you found him.

Ellie, we're investigating an environmental catastrophe. Not some guy who didn't

show up for his job interview. I couldn't find anything on the freighter job in

West Africa. The guy just disappeared. And what makes you so sure that finding

him is the key to this case? I don't think this was an accident. And if I'm

right, then this guy was involved. And this all ties into the mystery man

you rescued on the ship. Mystery man? What are you trying to say to me? At

best, you're speculating. Wildly. I also think you're determined to justify

your actions on that ship. And if I see any misallocation of resources or

time, I will cut you off. Cut me off? From what? Before we start, I just have a

few questions. If you lie to me even once, I will stand up, walk away, and you

will never see or hear from me again. Do you agree to these terms? You get

right to it, huh? Sure. Did you tell anyone where you were going? No. Put your

phone on the table. That wasn't a question. Will you please put your phone

on the table? Are you recording this? What are you doing? It's a digital

degausser. It's how they erase the freighter's hard drive. It takes us

some 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 had 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 U.S. have been at an all-time high.

Plane crashes, industrial explosions, toxic spills. We're averaging over 120 billion

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 2, 2006, they caused the Sago Mine

disaster by triggering methane ignition using

a tiny, undetectable incendiary device. A year later, they set off the New York City

steam explosion in 2008. The chats were a train collision in 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 with your basement buddies on the Internet, okay?

The 2007 Mississippi River bridge collapse is one of those dots.

That's how I knew I could trust you. First, I

thought you might be the one working for them.

Who are you? It wasn't an accident, Ellie. I'm sorry,

but your father, mother, sister and 11 other people were murdered that day,

and it will happen again and again if we let it.

I'm calling the police. The police can't help

you. These people are far too clever for that.

What do you want? A low concentration of

sulfuric acid on steel forms a protective layer

helping to maintain integrity. Is this fun for you? You getting off on it?

You increased that concentration by just five

percent. It causes corrosion and slow deterioration.

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 the

right amount of pressure to the right place. You still there?

Yeah. Look, I know I'm not handling the swell,

but I could really use your help. I need to know who in your office is providing them

with their data. What makes you think I can do that, even if I wanted to?

You have access to places I don't. You've been working with the collaborator for.

maybe years without even doing it. I need more information,

all right? So if we're meeting again, I choose when and where.

Understand? Hey.

I have a feeling coffee is not going to be enough. I'm all right. Thanks.

Sorry in advance, but I put in a phone call to my friend who works at the Coast Guard,

and he is going to try and talk down this

Captain Doll character from the roof. Apparently,

he has issues, so I think that's taken care

of. I appreciate you doing that. I really do,

but I'm fine. You don't have to do anything.

Ten minutes. Ready to roll.

Interesting choice of venue.

Do I have my reasons? It's quite romantic.

That wasn't one of them.

So you were in disguise when I met you at the lighthouse?

So you like to dress up? Is that it? That makes sense.

No more disguise.

Do you have a name? Carter.

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?

Doesn't make it false.

There are people behind these disasters. People like you, Mrs. Salen.

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 a 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 company 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? Shipping company stocks plummeted while stocks and new oil

cleanup 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 is why you chose your profession.

You don't know that. You figured you'd 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?

This is all my work. Years of accumulated data.

If this doesn't convince you to help, nothing.

I'm putting it all out there, agent Malaro.

You see my face, you have my research. It's up to you now.

So, um, if I'm crazy enough to help you with this, if...

How do I find you? It's programmed to call one number.

Just hit send. Use it once, break it in half, take out the battery.

Thanks for the ride. Next time hot dogs are on me.

Everything I told you is true, Ellie. Carter is my real name.

We're stopped? Really? Buddy?

What the hell?

Any problems? None. Where's Lincoln?

Be here any second with the truck. You know what you're doing?

Tomorrow should be done. Good. See you in Virginia.

Hello, agent Malaro. No, I'm asleep.

One second. Hold on a second.

Where is this?

What time did it happen?

Get me on the next flight to Chicago. I'll be at the airport in 45 minutes.

I need locomotive engineers, signal system specialists and train engineers on site.

Now, sooner the better. Yeah, I don't know. I'm thinking

probably Dayton. I haven't seen him yet, though.

Oh, there's Dayton. I see him now. Yeah, call him directly. All right, bye.

Hey, just the man I'm looking for. What do you need here?

More agents. I got 20, 52 to breathe. I need five times that many.

Well, Riley's coordinating with the regional

offices. We'll start trucking him in, okay?

That's probably him calling now.

I figured I'd be hearing from you. They're

accelerating. The greater 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.

I 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. It'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 10 times the quantity.

I'll bet you that train was rerouted 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?

I 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 have been vaporized in the blast.

All right. What am I looking for? A junction box. What's left of one, anyway?

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

All right, I got it. What's inside?

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.

Well, 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.

It still doesn't explain how they got the right

truck in position at exactly the right time.

Your driver had to have been in on it, right? Doubtful.

Timing could have been adjusted by a lead vehicle.

Then they blew his engine by remote, probably triggered by the driver.

Again, how are we going to prove this? I mean, you really, really,

genuinely believe they're this meticulous? You can only imagine.

I don't want to 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 have needed access. Could have happened in a lot

or a garage. I'd start with the trucking company.

We got the extra agents. Thanks.

Great. Hey, has anyone checked out the trucking company yet?

Not yet. It's on the list.

Okay. Can I get the address for them? Sure. I'll get it now.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Did you hear any of that? Yeah. Call me the

second you get that trucking company address.

Quiet out here. Peaceful. Not for long.

Oh, I like it when we're this busy. Then big finishes and onto the next.

Let's get to work. It's very important that you don't say anything.

You don't want me to say anything? Correct.

Why not? Just say nothing, okay?

You don't want me to not say anything? You want me to say nothing, which is it?

Just don't speak, all right? Copy that.

Hello? You sure you called the right number?

Yes, I called the right number. Agent Malaro?

Yes. Right this way.

Don't forget to ask how often the trucks are inspected.

I know what to ask. Thank you very much.

After you. Thank you.

Merkner Truck Lines has a 60-year history of bulk logistics excellence.

And what about security? We have a driver verification system.

Company issued photo ID. The trucks are all kept in our own lockup. Now,

you know the FBI was just down here asking a bunch of questions.

How often are the trucks inspected? Each driver does his own pre-trip

verification information report. It's mandatory.

Okay. Well, we'll need a copy of that. And what about maintenance?

The tanker lining gets looked at once a month.

Travis's rig would have been checked a few weeks ago. What about the engines?

Well, there may have been an oil change recently,

but that's done with a separate company, Titan Truck Lube.

I get a copy of the order sheet, the original ghost of accounting.

Give me a second. Of course.

What are you doing? Here we go.

Purchase order. Thank you.

Okay. It says here that the mechanic was signed. His name is Jim Monroe.

Do you know him? No, not personally.

I know the manager, Dan Winters. He's solid. He's got a lot of employees though.

He runs a wrecking yard and a body shop on the same property.

Okay. Can you call him? We need this Monroe's home address.

Nice place you got here, Mr. Monroe. Super cozy.

Who's running the right track? This is typical of the people we're looking for.

Stand here. Don't move.

Why? Oh, jeez.

Will you do me a favor, please? The next time I'm interviewing people,

please don't ask any questions, okay? Why?

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 going to 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 do we got? Menus, junk junk, bingo. Bell for delivery address.

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

Hmm. Hey, hi, yes. I'm calling about a package that never arrived. Last name Monroe,

bill number 4566834. What do you have down as my delivery address?

1340 Seville Kensington, that's it. Thank you. Let's go.

Okay, I'm going to 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 even 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?

I looked at the flash drive that you gave me.

A lot of classified and AIA 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, you know, 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.

like to dress up, and you have a very specific

peculiar skill set, which you would use somehow

to make a living. I mean, your cell phone bill alone has got to 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 normally do.

Where are you going to be? Close.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay. What if you're right? What if I show up,

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 can still back out.

Three minutes. Go.

Mr. Monroe.

Can I help you?

Major Malaro with the Naia. I have a few questions for you.

Actually, I was just leaving.

Well, I just need a couple of minutes, so.

Okay. Come on in. Don't mind the mess.

Ellie, get down. Get in the car. Stay there.

You okay?

Not really. You?

No, not really. Come on.

You go back?

Yeah, you were right. They're in full police procedure overdrive.

It was a garbage bag full of cleaning supplies.

You won't find anything. They'll be chasing shadows for months.

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

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 on 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 N-A-I-A.

That's what she said.

Okay. Tell me again.

Take your time.

She came to the door and said she was N-A-I-A.

And she had questioned 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 in public?

Yeah.

In spite of everything you've been told.

Yes, I know. 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.

I think it was him.

This agent, he said her name was Mularo?

Yeah, Mularo.

And she definitely saw your face?

Yes, she did.

You still haven't a gun?

No.

I ditched it.

You know what to do.

Could you step outside, please?

He's working for the government?

I don't think so. We would have heard about it.

He knows we've got someone inside N-A-I-A.

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? Kill Grigor?

Maybe he got him to talk first.

No, Grigor's solid.

If he knew the plan, he would have 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 this upstairs.

Yeah.

You know, this explosion in Chicago is gonna work in our favor.

Yeah, how's that?

Tension'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, Regent Malaro?

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.

You ready for that?

I really need this thing to be over now.

It will be. Soon.

I promise.

Riley's looking for you. He has a 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 interstate 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, 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? This got out. Your career would be over.

I need to take this.

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 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?

I don't know.

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 want to meet him in the city.

No, I'm not going to 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.

Last time you did what I said, I got shot at.

Everything's going to be okay.

Then why are you here?

Because I'm cautious.

Hi.

Uh, Agent Miller, thanks for coming.

You remember Steph?

Yes, good to see you again. Please come inside. I just put the kettle on.

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.

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 going to hang me out to try.

Tell her.

Just get it over with.

Okay, let's do this.

Okay.

See his face?

Not yet.

Moves looking 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 14th at uh, 2 55 A.M. I uh,

crashed the freighter into an oil platform off the coast of Maine.

Yeah, you're doing great.

I had uh, been drinking all day.

I don't quite remember exactly uh, 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...

Oh, listen to me, you have to get out of 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.

I don't know this house, I've never been here before.

I'm sorry, but you have to get out of here now.

Will you just tell me who, who made you do this?

Who?

Harris.

He paid to come on board.

When I came to see me one night and he offered me money.

Like he told me he wanted me to...

Miss, he's on the move.

Ellie!

I'm here.

Let's go, come on.

What about him?

Forget about him, come on, run!

They're blocking us, get out now!

Run, run!

What happened?

He... Came out of nowhere.

He had a gun.

So did you.

Back down by the street, 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?

I'm fine.

What now?

Hang on.

All right, 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 Middleland Drive.

There's an Nai agent, Agent Malaro.

She came into the house, she's got a gun, she shot my girlfriend.

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.

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'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 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?

Looks like some kind of...

bomb.

Bomb?

Oh my god, they're here too.

We're standing in a tinderbox. Run! Go, go, go!

Ten seconds.

Eight longer than that.

Eight.

Damn it, Fran!

They're everywhere!

Keep going straight! Get to the river!

Three, two, one...
