- 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT) on Tuesday, February 3
- 2:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on Wednesday, February 4

What to Expect in Episode 4 After Kai’s Death Reveal
The story is set for major confrontations. Episode 3 confirmed that Kai Nelson, Sam and Marsha’s son, was killed in a car crash exactly one year ago. Sam believes John Bailey-Brown, the mastermind from Season 1, is responsible for his son’s murder. However, it is now clear Sam is not acting alone. He confessed to the train driver that mysterious forces are threatening to kill Marsha if he does not follow their orders.
“I think for us to justify Sam making the choices that he makes in this season, there’s only really a couple of things dramatically that you can do,” said series creator Jim Field Smith. “As a father myself, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your children… the idea of Sam as vengeful father is incredibly powerful.”
The episode ended with several explosive threads. Authorities discovered Bailey-Brown is already in the custody of British intelligence, making Sam’s public demands more complicated. A passenger on the train was found dead, raising the stakes and suspicion among the hostages. Meanwhile, Marsha is no longer alone in her remote cabin, with unidentified and threatening visitors arriving. Episode 4, “Switch,” will likely see Sam trying to regain control of an increasingly volatile situation while the police, led by Chief Ada Winter, close in.
