“Evacuate the area!” » Marjan Marwani (Natacha Karam) shouts, pointing to what appear to be tanks of gasoline or fuel accelerants near the crash site.

TK Beach (Ronen Rubinstein) and Mateo Chavez (Julien’s works) are seen running from the rubble when an explosion throws a firefighter into the air. Their identities are unknown.

“We have a problem,” Owen said over the radio, implying that the train incident might be worse than they initially thought.
