Manifest (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 17 - Threshold - full transcript

Previously on Manifest...

Angelina, you're alive?

We always seem to find a way
to each other. We're connected, Cal.

They're gone! The Callings are gone.

Dad.

- Dad! Dad!
- Your father suffered a massive stroke.

- Autumn Cox? From the plane, right?
- You got anywhere we can go?

I might know somewhere.

The ALNI patients are down there.

Well, we still don't know
what the major did to them or why.

Dr. Bahl, you need to come with me.
You've been transferred.



- No! Ben! Ben! Ben!
- Hey!

Be a brave girl now.

Thank you.

I've spoken to Washington.
We're cleared for isolation protocol.

You can't leave them here.
These are human beings.

- What about their rights?
- The decision has been made.

You texted. Was there...

Oh, uh, yeah. I don't even...
I don't even remember what that was about.

It was bad enough you traipsed
through neighborhoods like this as a cop.

God knows I'm glad
you came to your senses and quit.

I'm more than happy
to float your current endeavor.

Thank you, Mom, but...

But why buy a decrepit building
in this dumpy neighborhood

when you can afford anywhere?



I showed you
that perfect little place in Tribeca...

Near you.

Exactly! It'll make going to
your doctor appointments so much easier.

Enough, Mom, please.

Well, I like the Sun's Breath
and Summer Faun.

Once I see them on the wall,
I'll know for sure.

I told you, just not yet.

I just want you to see the whole vision
when it's finished.

I'm sorry, but I appreciate
what you're doing for me so, so much.

I just wish
you weren't playing house solo.

I worry about you.

See you next week. Call me.

- Okay.
- I love you.

I love you. Muah.

Bye, Mama.

Okay.

Yo, Mayor Stone.

What have we got today?

Well, I repaired the composter,
so Hector is much happier.

Still can't get the elevator to work.
TJ won't let it go.

He's working on it.

The bathroom leak is finally fixed.

That or they've turned off our water too.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.

All right. Thanks, Joe.

- It's looking good, Sandy.
- Oh, thanks.

You wouldn't believe this joke.

- Hey, Ben.
- Hey.

Turns out it was the red one all along.

Randall, I think Sandy
could use some help in the garden.

Uh, you know, I would,
but, uh, my back is still killing me.

- Listen, Randall, we need...
- Ben? We need a minute.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hey.

Thomas and I
have been reviewing our rations,

and it's not looking good.

Our staples are running low.

Canned goods almost gone.

All right, let's start
by reducing portion sizes.

Prioritize the young, the elderly.
You think that'll last us until...

A month's a long time.

And I mean, we'll do our best
to stretch it, but

what about after the Death Date?

Assuming we're still around,
we'll have to come up with a new plan.

Thank you, both. Appreciate all you do.

We got you, Ben.

Hey, what did you find? Anything?

I followed all Cal's clues to the letter.
Grain silo, train tracks.

I searched every single area you marked.
I even roped in Luis to see if he'd help.

You've been at this nonstop for days.
I need to be out there with you.

No! Absolutely not.

Listen to me.
That psychopath almost killed you.

I'm so sorry. Listen, I just...

I can't lose you again.

Cal, you look exhausted.

Are you sure you wanna go into this again?

You've been pulling all-nighters for
the last couple months with the Callings.

I'm fine. I can do this. I can do more.

We got a lot of Callings ahead of us,
and Team Save-The-World

automatically fails
if you run yourself into the ground.

She's right, Cal.
You got nothing to prove.

Well, I hear you guys,
but we've only got a month left.

No one else gets Callings.
So if not me, then who?

With your dad not here,
you're my responsibility.

- Cal, I'm getting worried about you.
- Aunt Mick, please. Trust me.

One, three, one.

- Okay, guys. Should we...
- Give him a sec to get the Calling.

- He's gasping for air.
- Five seconds.

- We're out of time.
- Get him out now.

Hey, Cal!

Cal, wake up! Cal!

- You scared us. You okay?
- 14 F.

Autumn Cox.

I sat in her seat.
It must be her Calling.

- Autumn? Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.

Are we really about to blow our cover
for Autumn Cox?

I mean, she's complicated,

but no, we have to solve her Calling
no matter how we feel about someone.

- We can't pick and choose.
- We trawled through Callings for months.

Still no idea if it's balancing the scales
in the right direction.

We might have to wait
until the Death Date.

But we have to have faith for us,
for the passengers locked down,

for the rest of the world,
which means we're solving this Calling.

Come on. You heard the lady.
Let's go find Autumn Cox.

Look who's training for the Baby Olympics.

She has definitely got the drive.

- She learned from the best. Right, Eden?
- Right.

How's Chloe doin'?

Okay, I think.

But without Saanvi here,

I worry about milestones
she should be hitting.

I miss Saanvi too. Believe me.

But even though I'm no doctor,
I have raised a few kids.

She looks happy and healthy to me.

Well, Olive and Eden have been great
in keeping her entertained.

It's wild to think that the only world
she's ever known is this place.

Be nice to get her outside
on the grass, sun in her face just once.

Yeah.

What is that?

It's another tremor.
They're getting worse.

Well, there's a volcano growing under us.
I'll check the fuse box.

Hey, hey, hold on. I got this.
Contractor, remember?

- Used to see this in old buildings.
- Yeah, good point.

Wonder if the tremors are causing
the lights to flicker. What've we got?

Bad wiring.

Yeah. No, I felt that.

- You okay?
- More of a jolt.

- You got a flashlight?
- Yeah.

Oh, that doesn't look good.

Tremor must have shorted the system.
Whole thing's down.

So when do you think
we could get it back up and running?

Uh, there's no fixing this.

Not without a lot of materials
we don't have.

Help! Help! Ben, come quickly!

They're dying. The ALNI patients.

No, no, no.

No power to the life support system.
They're gonna die.

We have to do something.

They're barely hanging on as it is!
What do you expect us to do?

We're gonna do
whatever it takes to save them.

Suit yourself.

Okay, we need manual ventilation bags.
Henry, check supplies.

I saw a small generator in storage.
It won't power the building,

but it might have enough juice
to keep these machines running.

Okay, go. We can't lose these people!
Henry, I need your help.

Go. Go. Go.

Come on. Come on. Stay with me.

Come on.

Hey! Look who's up
and walking around like a champ.

Attaboy. Come on, Steve. Sit down.

Thank you.

How's it going in here?
You guys find Autumn yet?

I tried every possible resource.
She's not in the system.

Completely off radar.

Last known location of Autumn

was with the missing passengers
at the safe house.

Then they just vanished from thin air.

Okay, so we find the passengers,
we find her.

Did you find anything on the plane
that might be a clue?

Those creepy vines
were squeezing the life out of me.

There was something. Uh, a white grid?

But I could see reflections.

Like a window?

Yeah, but...
but with horizontal lines behind it.

Slats?

Like the ones at Beverly's?

Exactly like that.

Guys, that place has been empty.
No one's lived there for months.

No, we haven't lived there for months.

We gotta go home.

- I'm gonna come with.
- Yeah, you're the boss.

Dad!

What happened? Did you need something?

- What happened?
- He fell. I gotta stay here with him.

I'm not leaving you alone.

I'll stick with Mick, Jared.
You and Cal go. It's okay. It's all right.

Go. Every day counts.

We'll stay in touch
and coordinate from there.

I believe in you. We all do.
You got this, okay?

I won't let you down.

Hey. Look out for him, okay?

- Like a brother.
- You're the best.

I hope this works.

For now.

- Dad!
- Olive!

We got most of them stabilized,
but we lost Victor and Simone.

That's on me.

- What can I do to help?
- I don't know.

We need to focus
on getting the main power back

so we don't lose somebody else.

How long will the generator last?

Based on the fuel gauge,
gen'll give us three hours, tops.

We'll need outside help,
or these guys won't see tomorrow.

What if we made an SOS?

Last time we tried
to make contact with the outside world,

no one responded. No one cared.

Then make them care.

I mean, let's make a banner big enough
for the outside people to see.

There has to be
some 828 sympathizers still out there.

I love it.

Okay, I'm on it.

What can we do?

Henry, for now, stay with the patients.
Let us know if anything changes.

Okay.

Joe, I'm gonna need your help
making a flare.

Sorry, what?

Uh, my dad used to make 'em
when he took us camping as kids.

Ingredients should be pretty basic, right?
Maybe stuff we have here?

I'm banking on it.

This isn't how we left it.

What the hell? People are sleeping here?

Looks like they're squatting.

And God spared
not the old world

but saved Noah, preacher of righteousness.

And the Lord said unto Noah, "Come down..."

I have to see.

Get down.

"...that is eight souls,
have I seen righteous before me."

What the hell is Angelina doing
in our house?

That's Autumn. Why would she,
any of them, be with that killer?

Doesn't look like they have a gun to their
head, so they must be here by choice.

We gotta find a way to get inside
so we can isolate Angelina.

- I'm not afraid of her.
- Cal! Shit!

Cal, you've finally returned.
Welcome home!

Who the hell are you
to welcome me to my own house?

- You do not belong here! None of you do!
- Uh...

I... I was called here.

Called to you.

Liar.

Like it or not, Cal,
I'm here because of you,

to be closer to you.
It's time you accept that we are...

After everything that's happened,

it's psychotic to think
I'd want anything to do with you.

God called on me to judge the passengers,

to identify the righteous eight
who are worthy to bring in the new world.

We only have a month left
to save this world,

and you're the biggest threat
to the Lifeboat.

God made me the judge.

I'm the Archangel,
and I know this world will end.

Join me. Be amongst the righteous
who will survive.

Do not touch me!

Autumn.

We didn't come here for Angelina.
We came here to talk to you.

Look, we need to know
what these purple flower vines mean.

What do they mean to you?

Angelina wouldn't want me helping you.

Cal's answering a Calling
from your seat on the plane.

Your seat.

You can be in serious danger. Please.
Please tell us what you know.

It's okay.

They're not staying here.

Purple-flowered vines mean nothing to me.

We are the chosen.
The only two sapphires.

Hey, you can't do that!

Cal!

There's no other path
to survival.

No! God would never want that.

Cal, we're good.
We got what we need. Let's go.

I didn't say anything.

Come with us.

This is your Calling to solve.
Your chance at redemption.

Redemption is futile.
Your only hope for survival is me.

The Callings are our only hope.

Cal, we have to go.

You still have a choice.

Be brave.

My place is here.

You're stronger than you know.

Maybe we should go.

Maybe we should all go.

I should have paid more attention
in chemistry.

I wish I would've paid more attention
to my dad,

but I think we're getting there.

Daddy, look! I put flowers on it.

I'm hoping that the kid touch
yanks a few heartstrings.

I love it, sweet pea. Love it.

It's perfect, really.

Come here.

Love you both so much.

And this flare is almost ready.

If it works, it may get your banner
the attention we need.

Are you sure it's gonna work?

I don't know.

I think that we gotta look to the future

with the possibility
that everything will turn out well.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Come on.

New York business registry.

Huh.

Starry Saplings Daycare
shut down years ago.

There's no new address.

Okay, well, there's gotta be a reason
that Cal saw it in his Calling.

He kept saying that he saw
flowery, purple vines.

What if it's not about the daycare
but it's with the building itself?

The building's a block away
from the detention center.

Vance, it looks abandoned.

Wow.

You will never guess who owns it.

Here she is! Sledgehammer got me this far,

and then I rented this little cutie
to get me the rest of the way.

You did all this by yourself with a...

Sledgehammer and a baby belly?
Yep, clearly.

Our Drea? Why would she...

Own a building so close to the DC?

I don't know,
but I'm gonna get this to Jared ASAP.

The density has changed.

- You gotta switch up the settings.
- Okay.

- I can knock this through for you.
- I'd rather just know how.

I'm already that mom,

just teaching my kiddo
about follow-through.

Suit yourself. We said payment up front?

Yeah, totally.

Nice bag.

It's a knockoff.

Hand it over.

Look, please just leave me and my baby
alone, okay? We don't want trouble.

Me neither.

But a single lady alone
in a place like this?

Bettin' you got a lot more stashed,
'cause that's no knockoff.

Let's take a tour, shall we?

Autumn.

It's not mine.

Hmm.

I know you won't leave me,
even if Astrid plans to go.

You're not mad at her?

We all have to make our own choices
in these final days, Autumn.

Is that why Eagan's out all the time?

Brother Eagan risks his freedom for us
every time he makes a supply run.

That's loyalty.

Sacrifice.

Now it's your chance
to prove your loyalty,

earn a place among the eight.

Before you get too excited,
it's just canned.

You're not hungry?

I talk better.

- You wanna talk better.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Um...

- Why don't we work on the exercises, then?
- No. No. No.

Oh! Dad, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Just sit back, please. Be careful.

What's going on?

I don't know.
He's restless, and I...

I don't know what he wants.

Son. Son.

Oh, no, it sounds like he wants
to get outside and soak in some vitamin D.

It's okay. I'll take you.

No, that's... No, he, um...

- Hold on one second.
- Son.

Son. Dad.

- Dad, son? Ben? Do you wanna see Ben?
- Mm-hmm.

The detention center is locked up
and heavily guarded, Mr. Stone.

There is no way we can get in there.

Unless we use our new neighbor.

Look, if Drea owns the building next door,

maybe we get close enough
to at least wave.

If we're spotted and any kind of red flag
goes up, it could get very ugly.

I'm not waiting anymore.
The Death Date is a month away.

This could be his last chance
to see Ben and the girls. Mine too.

I'm not playing it safe anymore.
If I get caught, so be it. No regrets.

Vance, we're doing this.

You raised a force of nature.

Well, this is definitely
the address Vance sent.

And Drea's family
actually owns the building.

I just don't see any vines.

Oh, hey, Jared. Over here.

Starry Saplings Daycare.

Well, this is definitely the place.

Yeah, but why are the Callings
leading us here?

- Help! Somebody help!
- Drea.

Help!

You could have just shown me around,
but you had to make it hard on yourself.

What are you, blind?

There's nothing here, Portlandia.
Just... just leave.

You're in no position to give orders.

- What do you wanna do with this shitbag?
- Let him go.

- What? You can't be serious.
- He's not worth it, Jared.

Yeah. Guess you get
a hall pass today, buddy.

If I catch you ten miles away from her,
I'll pull the damn trigger.

- You hear me?
- Ah!

Get out!
Get the hell out of here! Get out!

Yeah. Yeah, thank you.
How did you find me?

Long story. Oh my God! You're... How...

Come on. Don't tell me you haven't heard
about the birds and the bees yet.

Surprising! Uh, congratulations!

Are you...

are you having a...

But this isn't how I wanted to share.

Drea, am I the father?

Step away from the roof now!

Get back! Get back!

Those are shots coming from the DC.

Dad. We have to get to him.
What if he needs us?

No, you're never gonna get in
from outside.

I have another way. Come on.

Okay. It doesn't look like much,
but it's freedom from the DC.

At least it will be
when I can knock it down.

Wait, so Dad, Olive, and Eden
are just through there?

You did all this by yourself?
Are you trying to go full Shawshank here?

Look. I thought it was
a good Mommy-and-Me activity

until I hit rock wall,
and I almost lost a leg.

Then I hired Brooklyn's skeeviest
to help me with this mini skid steer.

Yeah, well, it doesn't look so mini to me.
We gotta get through that wall.

A bit more than your standard power drill.
You guys might want to step aside.

Don't shoot! Please, we need help!

People are dying here!

What are you doing?
I thought you said it was fried.

Yeah, and it is.
I'm trying to MacGyver something

since the mini generator
in the lab's been spluttering.

- There's no way to stretch the fuel.
- We gotta buy more time.

Unless we make some impossible choices.

No way. We... We can't decide
who lives or who dies.

But if we don't, we could lose 'em all.

What's that?

- Cal?
- Dad!

Wha...

What are...

Hey.

Uh...

How...

When the going gets tough,
the tough get drilling.

What do you need?

We need to keep the ALNI patients alive.
So power. Lots of it and fast.

Yeah, that can be arranged. Let's go.

I did it.

All right.

All new lines on standby.

- Ready to go.
- Ready.

- Drea, it's time to go live.
- So ready.

All right, Joe. Flip the switch.

Here we go.

Hello?

Did it work? Somebody?

You just saved the day.

Wow, teamwork makes the dream work.

Forget that I said that.

That's gonna be glued
in my memory now. Thanks.

We did it.

- That was close.
- Thanks, man.

- Too close.
- Yeah. Too late for some.

But we saved some lives. We saved Marko.

Cal, I don't understand
how you wound up here.

From Autumn's Calling.

Wait. Passengers are getting
their Callings back?

You didn't really lose them.
You just lost the ability to receive them.

You still get them.

My own and everyone else's.

I get all the Callings.

If the Callings are back, that means...

there's hope.

And now that we're all together,
just imagine what we can do.

Ben!

Michaela?

- Mick?
- Ben!

Hey.

- Hey, partner.
- Hey, partner.

I, um... I have a bit of a surprise
for you upstairs.

The one hint is he's pushing 70
and stubborn as hell.

I guess I was asking too much of you
to stay put.

Sorry, not sorry.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Hey.

Hi.

Drea, what... Wow.

Yeah.

Um...

I'm glad you're okay.

You too.

Well, I'm wide open. Just saying.

Get over here.

Thanks to Joe, we now have
power connected to our main grid.

Thanks to our friends,
we now have a way out of here.

Now, anyone who wants to leave,
of course, you can,

but let me introduce you to someone first.

This is my son, Cal.

Cal?

You the little boy from the plane?

Not so little anymore.

Cal, he has access to all of our Callings.

And if we stick together and stay here,

we can still follow
and solve our Callings.

Callings or freedom.

I'm thinking freedom.

You're the last person to deserve freedom.

But go.

See how long you last.

I've been on the outside.
It's not good for passengers.

Solving Callings is the only way
to save this Lifeboat we're all in.

And if we don't, any kind of freedom's
not gonna last very long.

Well, we only have a month left.

I mean, who's to say solving the Callings
is gonna be enough anyway?

You're right.

We don't know.

But we have to have hope.

Faith.

I'll admit there was a time
when hope and faith

were the last things on my mind.

But a very... compelling woman

I'm lucky enough to know

turned me around.

And now, despite it all,

I'm all in.

So I'm asking you, pleading with you,
my fellow passengers, friends.

My family.

Please join me. Have faith.

Stay.

That's a nice speech,

but I'm out of here.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. This might leave a bruise, but

I shouldn't have let that scumbag
into my place.

I shouldn't have been there on my own.
I shouldn't have been doing...

What you need to do
is cut yourself some slack.

Drea, what you did...

- What you've done this whole time...
- All on my own and pregnant...

...blows my mind.

You never gave up.

Guess a lone wolf is having a cub.

Yeah, I guess she is.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to...

but you were off

saving the world.

And I didn't want this to stop you
from doing that.

You never answered my question.

Am I the father?

I mean, biologically.

Uh, but whether or not
you wanna be an actual parent,

that's a whole other story.

That's all I've ever wanted.

Ooh. Oh.

- Hey, you okay?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- You sure?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Thumper just gets a little excited
when there's a lot of action.

Takes after Mommy.

Do you wanna feel?

Ah.

Congratulations.

You've chosen the right path, Autumn.

Those that follow
after righteousness find life.

I missed one.

One doesn't matter.
God's will shall slowly come.

Hello?

Uh, anybody?

Cal?

You here?

Dad, I've missed you.

Man, I hope so.

With the wall opened up,

I'm gonna get my son first thing,
bring him back here.

Let's see.

Eight months, no coffee. That's rough.

Oh yeah. You have no idea.

♪ You were moving like a poet... ♪

Look, I'm sure
you have a million questions. Um...

But as for how,

it was ages ago.

It was before you guys.

I'm happy for you guys.
For the three of you.

♪ I was falling, I was falling for you... ♪

Okay, guys. I did the borders.

Well, he didn't even connect that part.

It's true!

I'm thankful you're still here, Marko.

I know there's more I need to do.

I just...

It's a lot to handle on my own.

I wish I had some help.

We are the only two sapphires.

It's time you accept
that God wants us to work together.

There's no other path to survival.
