Previously on Manifest...

Terribly sorry, folks.
That was not on the radar.

You've all been missing,
presumed dead, for five and a half years.

828 wasn't an accident.

We're supposed
to save the passengers together.

Ben!

- Oh my...
- Ben! Ben!

This dragon,
he's the king of storms.

I believe it's a sign.

I'm as committed
to being a father to this child

as I am a co-parent to you.



Cal? Is it the three shadows?

Just one.

The last trial isn't about
each person being judged individually.

They all came back together,

and now they're all being judged together.

Two years ago, I touched
the tail fin and disappeared again.

I think I went back
into that light we saw.

We had a phrase for it. We called it
the "long, delirious burning blue."

The Driftwood really is
a surviving piece of Noah's Ark.

All the data points us
in that direction.

God has chosen me to guide the worthy
through the final judgment.

The world will end in two days,
and only eight can survive.

We are facing
an extinction-level event.

The red river, it leads to a volcano.



The world's ending, and we know how.

Cal.

Daddy, where's Cal?

Oh, honey, he had to go somewhere.

Where?

He just went to help us. All of us.

I think this one needs a shadow.

Hey, Eden!

Hey.

I can still feel him, Dad.

I know he's not here.

But he's here.

Thanks, Ol.

I needed to hear that.

Well, whatever he started, it's not over.

Eden the Conqueror on an adventure.

Gotta go.

Bye.

Catch me if you can.

Is that...

Oh my God.

Holy...

The World card. Same volcano. Same lava.

Yeah, but this has the balancing scales.

Fate of the world hangs in the balance.

There's an inscription underneath.

Okay. I can't quite make it out though.

The inscription has gotta be for us,
but it was destroyed 25 years ago.

Yeah, but yesterday you said
that you'd come to this campsite before.

- What year was that?
- It must've been 1993, '94.

Okay, so way before the graffiti.

And you said that Grammy used to take
a bunch of photos at this campsite, right?

Maybe the original inscription is
in the background of one of those photos?

I mean, it's worth a try.
Um, we still have the old slides.

In the attic at Beverly's,
where Angelina's holed up.

I get you guys are worried.

But I'm gonna go.

- No. I'm not gonna...
- Dad, game over.

The Death Date, it's here.

So if there's any chance
at me figuring out this clue...

I have to do this.

I'll go with Olive. Make sure she's safe.

Come on, Eden. Let's go home.

Daddy.

Ben, we've seen what happens to people
on the Death Date. It's not pretty.

I think it's better if the girls are
as far away from here as possible.

Hey.

You can't go. Olive, I can't lose you too.

Remember the reason
why you left for Egypt?

Well, that's the same reason
why I have to leave now.

So I can try to find a clue

so that we can have a future, okay?

I wanna be in the girl hug.

Hey, I need you to know
how proud I am of you.

Your heart, your bravery...

your compassion.

You are your mother's daughter.

And our wildest dreams come true.

I'm gonna miss you guys.

All three of you.

Hey.

We're gonna make it, okay?
I just know it. I feel it.

Come here.

The next time I see you,
you're probably gonna be a dad.

Come on, Eden.

Let's go on a treasure hunt.

♪ We're going on a treasure hunt ♪

♪ A very important treasure hunt ♪

♪ X marks the spot ♪

♪ Circle with a dot ♪

♪ Spiders crawling up your back! ♪

♪ Blood gushing down ♪

I'm worried we're not gonna know
what to do when it's time for the end.

I'm not. We'll know.

I hope you're right.

I mean, we've known this was coming
for five years, and now that it's here,

I woke up this morning
with some panic attack.

- Felt like my chest was...
- Wait. Me too.

- Me too.
- Same.

No, maybe this wasn't a panic attack.

Maybe it's a preview.

Accelerated heartbeat,
disorientation, lack of oxygen.

Like Zeke's body getting cold
and being covered in ice.

I think this is how we're supposed to die.

As if we exploded in a plane crash.

All clear upstairs.

Okay, yeah. Same down here.

I think we can bring the girls in.

I'd love to know
where Angelina and her nutjobs are headed.

Wherever it is, it can't be good.

Three minutes. We need to keep moving.

Are you sure this is a good idea?
What if we're recognized?

Do you doubt that I can protect the flock?

- You sure you know how to do this?
- I've got skills.

Watch and learn, grasshopper.

What happened to our house?

It's okay.

We're gonna fix it
just like how it was before.

But in the meantime,

how about we draw a picture
for baby Hope, okay?

Let's hit it.

Whoa. Uh-uh.

No climbing stairs for you.

Come on.

Sit down.

Relax.

Okay?

Ripple across New York City
after the discovery of a massive volcano

emerging in New York Harbor.

Scientists warn
the volcano is extremely active

and could erupt with little notice.

Similar reports of volcanoes
arising virtually overnight

are coming in from around the globe.

Hong Kong, Cairo, Mexico City.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Hey, Ben!

Oh my God. Mick! TJ!

How... How did you get here?

In the middle of the night, I saw this...
this column of light, like a beacon.

You saw it, the beacon?

Cal's beacon.

It pulled us here.
We just dropped everything.

I just had to.

I mean, it was like at every turn,
I knew exactly where to go.

Then we see Henry walking along the road,

and I figure he must be going
on the same journey, so I pick him up.

Hey, check it out.

Huh.

The passengers. They saw it too.

They all saw it.

They're all coming.

Cal.

Hey, how are you?
Randall, it's been a minute.

Yeah. Been running up a tab, you know.
Getting lap dances at the Fuzzy Peach.

And I charged it to some sap
who dropped his credit card.

Moving on.

Okay, you may have skills,
but driving isn't one of them.

Wow. Not expecting you guys to show up
and definitely not together.

Kind of thought you were a lost cause.

I convinced him it's never too late
to tip the scales towards...

Yada yada. I got off the Kool-Aid.
Or on it. Who the hell knows?

Your mom's necklace.
I know what that meant to you.

Should we be expecting
Angelina to show up?

Or maybe she didn't see the beam?

She saw it.

And her fuel line accidentally slipped
and fell on a pair of scissors.

Bought us all some time.

Huh.

That's me and my son, Adio.

It's always just been me and him. Yes.

Same with me and my mom.
It was always just us.

I feel you. When my wife passed,
the same with me and Charlie.

Just us.

Not fair to do to a little boy.

Georgia and I just held each other

and danced to every record
we had on the shelf.

What's a record?

Leo and I had only just reunited.

And to be torn apart again...

Excuse me.
You're the flight attendant, right?

- Yes.
- I'm Trina Vasik.

Your wife tried to help us
when we were in hiding.

I just wanted to say thank you.

You're welcome.

It'll be okay.

♪ Someday soon enough ♪

Hey. How's the baby?

- She's with Jordan.
- Okay.

You should see him with her.
He is the best dad.

You think I'll ever see him again?

Um...

I hope so. Yeah. I really hope so, Polly.

Come on.

♪ Don't you give up on the kingdom ♪

♪ Think it's crashing in ♪

♪ No, it ain't worth all the worry ♪

♪ They'll still let you in ♪

All this camaraderie,
it's sort of beautiful.

Yeah.

I mean, whatever happens here,
no one can deny

we really are family.

That's a win no one can take away.

Hey. So we've been tracking the manifest,
and everyone's here

except for Angelina and her seven people.

I just wish we knew why we were here.

We should tell them something.

Yeah.

All right. Let's, uh, round up the troops.

When we boarded 828,

we had no idea what a...

tortured, life-changing journey
we were about to embark on.

Now we're finally at the end.

I don't know
what we're gonna face tonight.

But I do know my son sent that beacon.

He gathered us all here.

And I have to believe it was important.

That it was worth...

worth his sacrifice.

Get back!

Holy shit!

It's Flight 828.

It's back for us.

Cal.

He did this. He brought the plane back.

Cal's sapphire combined
with a piece of Noah's Ark. Two sapphires.

I think it's the final step.

The plane, it's our version of the scales.

You're right. Time for our judgment.

Everyone,

we gotta get on the plane.

Um...

The plane that the earth just threw up?
That plane?

It's the only way to survive.

I'll check it out.

Help people up.

It's okay, everyone.

It's okay!

Let's go, Randall.

Come on, everyone.

It's okay.

Jesus Christ.

Okay.

Jared's still digging, but I don't know.

I think this might be it.
Find anything yet?

If you're a salt marsh sparrow enthusiast,
you're in serious luck.

So Grandma organized these
through species.

Got a warbler,

Northern flicker, stork.

No, not ready to see a stork yet.

Okay. This is all I could find.

Marsh wren, silver drake, another warbler.

Silver drake?

We may not actually have to go through
all these boxes.

Drake is another word for dragon,

and the Silver Dragon
is what Al-Zuras called Flight 828.

Could be something. Let's put it in.

Rocks, some bushes.

The elusive human thumb.

Here we go.

That's Dad and Aunt Mick.

Guys, that's the campsite.

There. There. There. Keep going.

The petrograph.

And there it is.

The inscription.

Waiting for the proud graduates
of the class of '99.

- "Forgiveness lightens the heart."
- It's interesting.

We've been thinking about
how the good deeds outweigh the bad,

but actually, in Ma'at mythology...

the good isn't on one side of the scale
and bad on the other.

Hearts are being weighed
against a feather.

So lightening the heart
is as important as doing good deeds.

Okay. What about these letters?
P, I, X, L, A, Z.

A, Z, Al-Zuras.

P, I, X, I don't know. Uh, pix. Pictures.

Yeah, Al-Zuras has a journal
full of pictures.

All right, maybe. What about the L?

I don't know,
but I hid that journal pretty well.

Let's just hope Angelina didn't get to it.

- Ooh.
- Whoa. Hey.

Was that a contraction?

Oh man, it's gonna suck for this kid
to have two detectives as parents.

You're not getting away
with anything, baby girl.

- Oh.
- Come on. Up.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

- Time to rest.
- Ooh.

- I... I can't do it.
- Yes, you can. Come on.

Grab my hand.

Come on. Give me your hand.

Get off my ark.

- Come on.
- Go, go, go, go!

Stop. I want every last passenger
off of that plane. Clear it out.

Keep climbing.

Now!

You're meant to be
on that plane, Angelina. We all are.

The plane isn't here for just you.

But it is, Ben.

God is ending the world
like he did in the time of Noah.

And just as he saved Noah and his family,
he will now save my family.

Cal brought the plane back,
Angelina, for all of us.

Stop! Not one more step!

My people, get on.

What was that?

We got to get this plane
out of here. Fast.

Take a seat! Please!

Everyone, just sit down. Anywhere, please.

What are you doing?

Drea wanted ice chips.
Drea gets ice chips.

Okay, well, I found the journal.
Look, right here on page nine.

It's the same volcano
as we saw on the rock.

Three out breaths. One, two, three.

What if it's numbers?

The World card is on page nine.

So, what if the P is for page
and IX for the Roman numeral nine?

What would the L be for?

Fifty! L is fifty!

Ice chips incoming!

- We've all gotta get on! Now!
- No.

I won't let you ruin this
for me and my flock.

Your people are getting off my ark,
one way or another.

Please, Lord, no!

Come on.

What? Come on.

Paul.

Put down the gun. Her powers are gone.

We all need to get on that plane.
Just put it down and come with us.

No!

Don't move!

Saanvi!

Ow!

- Hey. Are you okay?
- No, it's okay. It's okay.

It's just grazed.

Come on.

Michaela, Amuta needs you
in the cockpit! Now!

Ben, come on!

Stay on the plane.

Forty-eight, forty-nine...

Fifty.

Dad and me.

Wait.

How is this forgiveness?

Forgiveness lightens the heart.

Oh my God.

- Hi, this is Ben. Leave a message.
- Dad.

Dad.

I don't know how to reach you right now,

but I think I just figured this out.

The picture of you carrying me
through the fire, it wasn't me.

It was Angelina.

This is a message for you.

Dad, the only way for you
to survive your Death Date

is to forgive Angelina.

And I don't know...
I don't know if you can do that.

But I really, really need you to try.

You took away the love of my life,
the mother of my children!

Don't talk to me
about people being taken from you.

Everyone in my life has betrayed me,

has left me.

That's been my cross to bear
as God's chosen...

You are no different
than anyone else on that plane!

That's not true.
I've had the power in my hand.

It's not the power that matters.
It's how...

It's how you use it.

You want revenge.

I understand that.

But I never

intended to kill Grace.

There's not a day goes by
that I don't regret that.

That I don't pray for her.

Angelina!

Leave me, Ben. I wanna die. Just go.

Ben! We have to go!

Olive! The baby's coming!

Thank you.

So, um...

you know I'm, like,
not qualified to be up here, right?

I told you before. 828 is lucky
to have you at the helm, and I meant it.

Now, let's get this plane in the air.

Do you think
that this thing can actually fly?

No idea, but at this point,
I'd say anything is possible.

Cool, yeah, love the optimism.

But don't we maybe need,
for starters, um, a runway?

Okay, then.

Okay. Okay.

Go, Captain Stone.

Let's fly.

Okay, everyone. Fasten your seat belts.

Are there seat belts? Okay.

If there's someone
or something you pray to,

this would be a good time to check in.

Pull when I say pull. Ready?

Yeah, so ready.

Pull!

- Hey. How's your arm?
- Hey.

It's fine. It's fine.

What? What's wrong? Other than everything.

Look out the window.

Oh my God.

In Gupta's lab, they were tracking
underwater volcanoes across the globe.

They had no way of tracking
subterranean volcanoes

that would rise on land.

- This is...
- The end of the world.

Just like Al-Zuras predicted.

I can't... I can't breathe!

Hector. Hector. Look at me.

Hey. Hector, breathe. Keep calm.
Try to catch your breath.

- You're gonna be okay.
- We got another one.

I don't know!

- Somebody else?
- What's going on?

I don't know.

No!

What's happening?

People up and down the aisle,
all experiencing what we did this morning.

Well, why us first?

I don't know.
Maybe we got a preview, but now it's...

spreading. Something has to be coming.

Ben, I think it's judgment.

Oxygen masks!

Shit. It won't release!

That was their judgment.

It's ash.

They're imploding
from internal idiopathic causes.

Dying as they would have on 828.

- My God. Will that happen to all of us?
- No.

No.

Only to those of us that deserve it.

All right.

Uh...

This is our... our moment of judgment.
We know it's terrifying.

We've seen people
survive their Death Date before,

including my husband.

I believe we can too.

Oh my God,
there's nothing left but ash.

Honey! Honey!

What's happening?

We're dying.

What?

Paul just blew up.

Paul, no.

I saw it happen. He's gone!

You promised to protect us.

Paul did everything you wanted. So did I.

Use your goddamn sapphire!

I'm sorry.

Yikes.

Oh no.

Uh...

Okay, uh... uh...

Big guy? Whoever?

I know he can be a blowhard sometimes,
but he's a good man.

Take me instead.

Oh God, Eagan.

Saanvi!

No. No, no, no, no.

It's okay.

- I took a life.
- Not by choice!

You've done so much good.
You... You saved my son.

You have saved so many people. Please.

- I'm ready.
- Well, I'm not.

It's okay.

I deserve this.

I've been selfish and basically

kind of a shit.

No. Anybody willing to sacrifice his life
for someone else isn't selfish.

That is the definition of selflessness.

Oh my God.

- Son of a...
- Really?

Good call.

Okay.

Breathe.

- Oh God.
- Breathe. Deep breaths.

Okay. Deep breaths. Good.

The world ending or not,
you are having this baby.

Okay, it's amazing.

It doesn't feel amazing!

Breathe. Deep breaths.
You're doing so good.

I can help, and so can Jolene.

Okay. I think it's time
to put Jolene to bed, okay?

Come on.

No. No. No. Oh, no, no, no. No!

I'm an angel! This can't happen to me!

Please! I misunderstood! No!

Please, Lord! No!

Ben, please help!

Help!

Come here.

Don't be scared, love bug.

Jolene's scared.

Jolene is scared.

What would Grandma Karen tell Jolene?

All good things.

All good things.

That's great. That's great.
Just one more, D. One more.

She's coming! She's coming!

Eleven. We lost eleven passengers.

That's good news, right?
The rest of us made it.

That remains to be seen.
All we know for now is from here on in,

whatever happens to one of us
could happen to all of us.

The Lifeboat.

Yeah, we saw it happen
with the three meth heads.

The evil one sucked the life
out of the other two.

What the hell is that?

Okay, everyone, get behind us!
Grab onto one another!

Stay together!

Leave us alone!

Why did you pick us, anyways?

We're just a group of 191 regular people,
but you chose us.

And ever since, we have been hated,

tested on, and imprisoned!

We've done everything you wanted.
Followed every Calling!

TJ, he stopped a murder!

Joe, he prevented a trafficking ring!

And Adrian,
he stopped a boy from drowning!

Astrid saved a boy's life!

Radd helped free his innocent son,
and on and on and on and on!

We're not perfect,
but we've done the best we can.

Isn't that enough?

Isn't that enough?

Isn't that enough?

Two more seconds, and whatever that was

would have gotten peed on.

Wait.

Everything's silent.

No volcanic activity.

The apocalypse.

It's over.

I think... I think we did it.

I think we might've just saved the world.

Michaela!

Michaela!

It's the glow.

The long, delirious burning blue.

So, what now?

Last time the glow chased us.

This time, we're gonna chase it.
Take us into the middle of it.

Copy that, Captain.

You're actually just gonna copy that?
I truly have, like, zero experience.

This situation
wasn't in the training manual.

I believe in you.

Take your seats.

Any seats.

Here we go!

I don't think we're moving.

I'll check it out.

Now, what do we do?

I think you know.

Are we in heaven?

I think we're in Queens.

Hey. That wasn't so bad.

Oh!

What?

Hi.

What is with you?

Um, where's Cal?

Oh, there he is.

Excuse me.

You left this on your seat.

Cal.

How'd you know my name?

Cal!

Olive! Could you run any faster?
You're gonna give me a heart attack.

Sorry, I've been waiting forever.
Follow me! We're going on a treasure hunt.

What?

Guys! Hey! You guys!

Ben!

Mick!

Baggage claim?

Could you just give me one second?
I'll meet you there.

Okay. Don't get on another plane.

You guys! Wait for me!

Cal. He doesn't remember.

- What is this? Where are we?
- When are we?

We're back. Check it.

The day Newtown happened
was the toughest day of my presidency.

Whoo! Thank you, Jesus.

April 7th, 2013.
Exactly when we were supposed to land.

But were we ever really gone?

My gunshot seems pretty real.

It hurts very real.

I didn't have this in Jamaica.

Look.

Even others that we lost along the way.

Fiona, Violet, Sam, Finn, Kelly.

Harvey.

All good things. And Cal.

Yeah, we thought it was a sacrifice, but...

it was a gift.

The rest of us,
we remember everything, but Cal...

he gets his childhood back.

Yeah.

Olive too.

Yeah.

What do we do now?

We live.

As best we can.

Like we're all in the same Lifeboat.

Because we are.

Yeah.

All of us.

They'll try to explain it
as a mass delusion,

but we know the truth,
because we lived it every day

for five and a half years.

We earned this.

The ultimate second chance.

Mom!

Hi!

- I love you.
- Oh.

I love you so much.

There's my Charlie.

There's my boy.

Hey, Dad. It's me.

Don't hang up!

Hello? Okay.

Hi!

I'm ready to own my truth.

- How are you?
- Hey.

I could use someone smart.
A good head for business, reliable.

Hello. Have you met me?

Yes, I have.

My daughter, Angelina Meyer.
I know she boarded this flight.

Where is she?

Sir, if you could just calm down.
Follow me.

Not everyone survived.

But for those of us who did,

Flight 828 and everything that came after...

- Adio?
- ...bound us together and changed us.

It taught us how to live
and what's worth living for.

Ah!

Oh, buddy.

Excuse me. Can you help me
find a bus to Hempstead?

Hey, buddy. That's not that far
out of my way. Let me grab your bag.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

Sure. I know a great bar over there.
You can buy me a drink or two.

Of course.

I read two chapters already.

Enjoy, Olive.

He remembered my name.

- Sorry.
- Oh, no, sorry.

Oh, um...

TJ from the plane.

Violet.

Welcome back.

Dad and I are taking the grandkids home
while you all wait for the luggage.

Assuming there is any luggage.

Hmm?

Nothing. Never mind. I love you.

Enough hugging already.

Listen, there's someone waiting for you
who deserves an answer.

I love you. See you at home.

Okay, so

here's the thing. Um...

I know you needed time to think,

but your trip actually
gave me time to think,

and

maybe I proposed too soon.

Oh. Um...

You know, to, um...

help you get past...

Evie.

Look, what I'm trying to say is...

I wanna be your husband,

and I want you to say yes,
but without hesitation,

and for one reason...

because you're crazy in love with me.

I will always, always love you.

This trip made me realize a lot,

and it made me realize
that we want different things,

and I don't wanna change,
and I do not want you to change.

I think there's someone better
out there for you.

Someone who wants
everything that you want.

And as long as I'm here, Jared,
I'm gonna cloud everything,

and it's gonna take you forever
to figure that out.

I'm backing out,

because you guys
are going to find a way to each other.

Don't ask me how, but you will.

Mick, how can you be so sure?

Just believe me when I say

you gotta have hope.

What are you doing here?

Not getting on that flight
to Jamaica with you

was the biggest mistake of all time.

No, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I wanna be with you,

to start a family with you,

if... if you can forgive me...

Of course. Of course I forgive you.

I saw her upstairs. Who is that?

Her name is Dr. Saanvi Bahl.

I'll tell you everything,
but, Grace, she's gonna cure Cal.

- What?
- I swear on the lives of our three kids.

Three kids?

We got some work to do.

And the two of us.

Are we good?

Grace.

We're excellent.

Hi, yeah. So sorry to interrupt.
I'm really quite ready to go.

Did, uh, Dad give you the keys?

No, they took the car. We'll take a cab.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I love you too, baby. I'll be home soon...

Oh!

Hey, Georgia. Here's your wife.

Angel of the Waters, please.

Bethesda Fountain, Central Park.

Oh, I'm sorry. Can you just...

This is my husband.
Do you mind taking another cab?

Hi, honey.

Thanks for that.

That usually work?

Oh, I don't know. I've never tried it.

Where to?

Um...

Could you actually just drive?
I kind of have nothing but time.

Any general direction?

Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan?

It's all connected, right?

How are we doing
in the salty snacks department?

As I suspected.

Have we met before?

Yeah, we kind of have.

It's all part of a...

never-ending story.

Hey, rookie.

What's going on?

It's a confidential investigation.
Something about a plane that just landed.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.
