In this gripping and thought-provoking episode of The Passage, the Ferryman, voiced by Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, The Walking Dead), welcomes a passenger whose name is synonymous with power, secrecy, and the watchful eyes of surveillance. J. Edgar Hoover, voiced by Stewart Skelton, the architect of modern intelligence and a figure shrouded in controversy, steps aboard, his presence casting a long shadow over the realms of the afterlife. As they journey through the misty corridors of history and consequence, Hoover reflects on his legacy, a complex web of protection and paranoia, of defense and dominion. Under his watch, an agency was built, not just to safeguard America, but to scrutinize its every heartbeat, its every whisper. Surveillance became a weapon, a shield and a sword in the hands of a man who viewed the world through a lens of suspicion and control. In this episode, Hoover is confronted with the eternal question: Was he America's stalwart defender, standing vigilant against the tide of threats, or did he morph into the very monster he vowed to vanquish, a manifestation of fear and power unchecked? As the Ferryman guides Hoover deeper into the voyage, a moment of confession arises. Hoover reveals his greatest secret, a truth so potent and terrifying that it threatens to unravel the fabric of national security and trust. But is this secret a genuine revelation, a stark insight into America's deepest fears, or merely a self-fulfilling prophecy birthed from the depths of Hoover's own paranoia?
