Manifest (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Fasten Your Seatbelts - full transcript
As the Stone family reels in the aftermath of a devastating shooting, they're hit with their most foreboding calling yet; The Major attempts to tighten her grip on the unwitting Saanvi.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
Previously on "Manifest"...
DALY: Terribly sorry, folks.
That was not on the radar.
You've all been missing, presumed
dead, for 5 and a half years.
Ben!
Olive.
SAANVI: I discovered
something in Cal's blood.
It wasn't there before the plane,
and it wasn't produced by the cancer.
It's all connected.
But aren't you seeing things,
hearing things in your head?
MICHAELA: [ECHOING] Set them free.
The ability to see and
hear what's going to happen?
That's an incredibly powerful weapon...
for the military, for intelligence.
NSA, drop your weapon!
[MACHINE-GUN FIRE]
Robert Vance died as he lived...
in service of our great country...
THE MAJOR: Ben Stone is only
a vehicle to get to his son.
Until we're sure the
boy is our Holy Grail,
we sit tight.
Beloved, my fellow passengers and I
were sent back to heal the world.
What is this? Some kind of scam?
Ben, this is my... my calling.
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- MAN: Freaks!
BEN: If you come anywhere near
a member of my family again,
then you will know exactly what someone
who has already died
once is willing to do.
I can't leave. He's almost here.
It's him! It's him! Don't hurt him!
Whatever happened to us on that plane
also happened to Zeke in his cave.
I'm pregnant. Six weeks, maybe.
So, right when the plane came...
Or just before.
I'm Danny.
- Grace's...
- I know.
I have an appointment...
with a therapist.
Please, come in.
BEN: The exact amount of time
he was gone is the same...
exact amount of time he was alive again.
Are you saying you have some kind of...
expiration date?
OLIVE: June 2, 2024.
It's always been you.
I want you out of here
before she comes back.
Michaela and I, we're
meant to be together.

is make you happy?
It's all we want for you.

That's really sweet of

How are we back here?
Why are we back on Flight 828?

JARED: [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Do you understand? Hold

Shots fired. Officer down.
- We're getting you help.
- Officer down.
JARED: I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I have eyes on
the suspect right now.
I'm so sorry this happened.
No, believe me, he will not get away.

No, don't... don't exert any energy.
Run.

Move. You're not putting
enough pressure on the wound.

Hey. Hey, Mick.
It's okay, alright? A
bus is coming, I promise.
Alright, just stay with me.
Please.
It's okay. It's okay.

Zeke, you son of a bitch!

Jared?!

- What happened?
I came into Mick's place.

There was a scramble.
I mean, if I knew she
was there, I would've...
[SIGHS]
A shot went off as I
pulled the gun away.
She went down.
- Oh.

could make a full recovery.
Thanks for finding out.
When can we see her?
Let's see if we can sneak you in, okay?
Alright. Uh...
- Go.
- Yeah, go.
We'll see her when she's stronger.

Ben, I was on the plane again.
What do you mean?
828. I was on the plane with Cal.
It was nose-diving.
I know that it's not reality,
but... but in my vision, it was...
it was crashing.
Maybe it was just a
neardeath experience,
but it just... Ben, it felt real.
♪♪
Michaela, you need to know something.
I think it's a Calling about us dying.
Not necessarily on a plane.
Griffin died after the exact
amount of time he was gone,
and then Cal had a
Calling about that date.
Mick, June 2, 2024...
is exactly 5 and a half years
after the date we returned.
The same thing that
happened to Griffin...
it's gonna happen to us.

Do you get them, too?
Can we talk about it?
SAANVI: You could've been killed.
Ben?
Ben?
Okay, I'm worried about you.
[SIGHS]
I have no choice.
The Calling said "save the passengers".
To me, that means tracking them down
and finding out who
knows something we don't.
About the Death Date?
Maybe we're the only ones who know.
Out of almost 200 people?
No, someone has to
have some kind of clue,
some kind of puzzle piece that
can help us try to stop it.
Would you eat? I'm worried about you.
You're not telling people
about the Death Date, are you?
No, I can't do that.
Not without a solution.
Not without knowing more.
GRACE: Let's pause
on the Death Date talk,
focus on something more positive.

BEN: [CHUCKLES]
You're at 14 weeks.
Second trimester.
Moving along great.
GRACE: We should tell the kids now.
They're gonna lose their minds.

How many previous pregnancies?
Um, two.
Uh, two kids... twins.
One pregnancy.
Uh, it's two pregnancies.
I had a miscarriage last year.

Okay.
I will see you before you check out.
Congratulations, you two.
Thank you.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
I should've told you.
But you need to understand,
you and Cal were dead.
I had a huge hole in my life.
And Danny had always wanted kids.
[SIGHS]
Well, if he always wanted kids,
maybe we're wrong to not
find out if the baby's his.
No.
Ben...
this is our time.
If in six months, when the baby's born,
it turns out to be Danny's,
we'll deal with it then.
For now I just want it to be us.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- That's right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Yeah, she just won't quit.
Will you ease up a bit?
The first day out of the hospital
should be nothing but
bingeing junk food and Netflix.
I tried telling her that myself.
I don't have a day to waste.
[SIGHS]
Well, if you don't wanna
be stuck in the basement,
you could go up to my room.
I've kind of wanted to
move downstairs anyway.
[CHUCKLES] That's really sweet,
but it's just a few days. It's fine.
Although, honey, if you are
willing to move downstairs,
- that could help us out.
- Mm.
And why is that?
Because your room would
make a perfect nursery.
I knew it! Mom's pregnant!
[LAUGHS]
You owe me 5 bucks.
[LAUGHS]
[SQUEALS]
- Hey, take it... Take it easy.
- Ow!
- Take it easy.
- Oh, I'm so happy for you guys!
Well, and for me. I always
wanted a bigger family.
I can't say that I feel any better,
though Michaela finally out
of the hospital is a load off.
We're not even related,
but I don't know.
After everything we've been through,
she feels like family.
Speaking of which, the only downside is,
I will miss seeing the
Stones around the hospital.
You mean Ben.
I'm sorry?
I hear how you talk about him.
- Am I wrong?
- [CHUCKLES]
I hadn't even thought about it.
Much.
You don't have to beat
yourself up about it.
You and Ben have been through
a traumatic journey together.
You have seen Ben at
his most vulnerable.
That's appealing.
It's best for me not to
think about him in that way.
That's impossible.
Because of Grace.
Yes, Ellen. They're having a baby.
Really?
It's been a secret, but
can we not talk about this?
Of course. Moving on.
How's your stress level, 1 to 10?
It's a 6.
7 maybe.
Professional stresses adding to that?
Two months together, and
you've barely talked about work.
There's not much to talk about.
Work is good.
Good.
♪♪
You, uh, redecorated.
BEN: Two months of
tracking down passengers.
It's not easy.
A bunch have packed up and moved away
because of the Xers.
Are they really that threatening?
Eh, feels that way.
Blown up online.
Now people are wary of us.
Tabloid articles aren't helping.
Here. I swung by your place,
grabbed some changes
of clothes, your mail.
Thanks. Yeah, I don't think I'm
getting back there for a while.
Stay as long as you want.
I could use another
set of eyes on all this.
Ben, I get that you're
trying to save the passengers,
but we don't even know from what.
The Death Date, Michaela.
The Calling told us
we're all supposed to die.
We have until June 2, 2024,
to stop that from happening.
And what if we can't stop it?
So, what, we're not supposed to try?
I'm not being dismissive,
but if the Callings wanted
me dead, I would be dead.
It saved my life.
What if "save the passengers"
is about the here and the now?
What if it's about
helping them one by one?
I'm out there trying to help every day,
but if all we're doing
is rearranging chairs
on the Titanic, what's it matter?
♪♪
Ben, this... this is from Zeke.
It's his handwriting.
- ♪♪
- _
He made it to Canada?
He's never gonna know
about his Death Date.
Mick, we've been over this.
You're assuming he's...
You don't assume the same thing?
Ben, he's innocent. We have to help him.
Alright. So what do we do?
How do we find him?
We have to make it possible
for him to come home.
If I could just find
a way to clear his name
and prove his innocence,
then maybe he can show his face again.

Detective Stone.
You don't start back up until next week.
Captain Bowers.
Uh, sorry that I wasn't here
when you were formally introduced.
You weren't supposed to be.
You were supposed to be recuperating.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So why aren't you recuperating?
I'm here to ask you to call
off the hunt for Zeke Landon.
You're quick to forgive, Detective.
It was an accident.
That's not how Detective Vasquez
described it in the IA report.
He was mistaken.
You told IA you had no recollection
of the moments before you were shot.
Maybe you were mistaken?
I know Zeke, and he would've never...
All this, this is why I was brought in.
There's been too many loose ends,
too much muddy water at this precinct.
Bottom line, your new
boyfriend and your ex-boyfriend
were fighting in your
apartment, you got shot,
and your new boyfriend ran off.
Zeke is not my boyfriend.
Whatever he is, you're too
close to this, Detective.
Go home.
Just gonna blow right past me?
[SIGHS]
I don't know what happened
that night exactly, Jared,
but what I do know
is that if you had stopped
obsessing over Zeke,
if you'd actually listened to me,
then I wouldn't have ended up
with a bullet in my stomach.
That I do know.
You don't know.
But you convinced yourself so much of it
that you block me from
visiting you in the hospital?
Who does that?
I wasn't ready.
I might never be.
If you'll excuse me,
I have some work to do.

And everything started shaking
when you saw the Vasiks on the board?
This is like the plane Calling I had.
[SIGHS]
Is that what the Calling meant,
to save these passengers?
This Calling started two months ago.
I think it's about helping
as many of them as we can.
Ben, this is what I'm talking about,
about getting out into the world,
as opposed to being stuck in here,
trying to crack the Death Date.
The work in here will help
with the work we need to do out there.
Now, I tried contacting the Vasiks.
Here.
I sent them a message six weeks ago,
then a follow-up e-mail two weeks ago.
Never heard back.
Their case file said that they had kids,
yet the kids weren't on 828.
I spoke to Anson on the plane.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Mind if I get some more ice?
- Help yourself.
- Thanks.
- Oh.
- Sorry. My bad.
- [BREATHES SHARPLY] Ooh.
- Yeah,
tough to cool down since we left.
Mm. I've been there. Summer of 2001,
I fell asleep on the
Staten Island Ferry,
and my entire left side nearly melted.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, I'm
usually bugging the kids
to apply layer after layer.
That's how I remember to do the same.
And this time they remembered?
Left them home, actually.
The wife and I took a
sort of second honeymoon.
Sounds amazing.
Wasn't as great as I
thought it would be.
Uh, missed the kids every single minute.
[CHUCKLES]
Never leaving 'em again.
Mm.
Someone was watching their kids.
Here.
Says here that they left them
with a neighbor, Sharice Fields.
She raised these kids
for 5 and a half years,
then their parents came back.
I can't imagine that.
We have to talk to Sharice.
I'll get someone at the
precinct to pull up the address.
Mick, you're supposed to rest.
Maybe Jared and I could...
No, Jared is the one who got me shot.
I'm done involving him.
This is you and me.
[SIGHS] Alright.
[LAUGHS]
Thank you for making that reservation.
I have missed our tea dates.
Well, there's a chance I'm not gonna be
your only daughter very soon,
so I have to take advantage.
[LAUGHING] Oh, I see. That's...
Danny. Hi.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, hi!
- Hi.
- Hey, Olive.
So, uh, how's... how's Michaela?
She's better. Back on her feet,
getting stronger every day.
Good.
And work and school? Everything?
Good. School's pretty boring.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
Not so boring at home, though.
Oh. Oh.
Uh, Michaela's just staying with us,
and, um, my father-in-law
has been looking after her,
playing nurse, so...
Well, we should be going.
Yeah, um, me too.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Um, it's good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
Why didn't you tell
Danny you're pregnant?
Is Danny the father?
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Honey, if the baby
turns out to be Danny's,
of course we will tell him.
You get that, don't you?
I just thought this baby
would be something special...
for our family.
- And it will be!

to bring us all together when
everything else is so scary.
And, of course, it's
not that simple for us.
It never can be.

SHARICE: There was no other family,
so I was "Mama" all these years.
And then their actual
mama and papa came back,
and I became Mama Sharice.
[SIGHS] That must be
hard for all of you.
It has been.
Those children are my angels.
But Trina and Anson
coming home was a miracle,
so of course I stepped aside.
For the kids' sake,
I kept coming around.
They don't know their parents from Adam.
When was the last time
anyone saw Anson or Trina?
They put the kids to bed Saturday night.
I showed up in the morning.
Sunday brunch has been our thing.
Pontiac wasn't in the driveway.

Did you get the plates?
I mean, there's a lot of
white vans in the world.
It could just be a coincidence.
Or it could have something to do
with the Vasiks' disappearance.
Who would have taken them, the Xers?
Possibly.

the Vasiks clearly had trouble

come together for good"?
Revelation 20:14.
