Manifest (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Unaccompanied Minors - full transcript

Previously on Manifest...

Zeke, what is this?

Frostbite. I may be
freezing to death.

Saanvi thinks she can help.

She may have a cure.

It was the first
one I ever drew,

and I actually never
figured out what it meant.

It still kind of creeps me out.

Best way to destroy a hate group
is to blow it up from the inside.

You've been undercover?
Why didn't you tell me?

Because I needed you to believe I
was in so deep that they'd believe.



The minute we release this
guy, he's gonna call the cops.

Don't say a word.

My water just broke.

I've done this
surgery many times,

but the baby's heart
rate has been dropping.

We need to go now.

I don't know how to thank
you. If you didn't get here...

It was actually something
of a miracle that I did.

I was kayaking earlier
today in the Harlem River.

Lost my balance
and I flipped over.

Total stranger saved my life.

If you needed any more proof,
that the callings are good, this is it.

"False prophets will arise from the
dead to perform signs and wonders."

You keep assuming we're
on the side of good, Ben.



We are returned from the dead
to be agents of the apocalypse.

Ben, you've gone
off the deep end.

- Just hear me out.
- What, that we're false prophets

coming back from the dead?

I thought you got off
this theory months ago

when the calling saved
Grace and the baby.

Yeah, but pretty much
every single night since then,

Cal's been terrorized by
these three looming shadows.

Still?

You must really be
desperate for answers.

Science guy
looking in the Bible.

I just found this in Revelation,

and it weirdly echoes
Adrian's apocalypse theory.

"I saw three spirits coming
out of the mouth of the dragon,

out of the mouth of the beast, out
of the mouth of the false prophet."

Okay, that's creepy, but... The
callings, think about the good, too.

Which I keep reminding
myself, but, Mick,

what Cal's seeing is so dark,
I keep coming back to Adrian.

I mean, what if this is
all "signs and wonders"?

So what, we're doing
good but for bad reasons?

To lull us into obedience for
some end-of-the-world scenario.

It's a really messed-up theory.

I'm sorry. I should have
asked. How's Zeke?

It's hard to tell.

He never complains.

It's not fair, though.

He's at the hospital every single day.
The treatment regimen is relentless.

Saanvi thinks it's helping?

It's slowing the frostbite,
but no, Ben, it's not a cure.

I am hoping for a freaking
miracle 'cause if not...

He's running out of time.

I can already tell, this
is gonna be a tough one.

Woke up wanting
to use so bad it hurt.

Why today, do you think?

It's... the anniversary of
my sister Chloe's death.

We all dealt with her death
in our own messed-up ways.

My dad bailed. My mom...

withdrew, and I turned
to drugs to numb the pain.

So in a way, this is also the
anniversary of your addiction.

Good news is, you're
in recovery now.

How's that going?

If I'm being honest...

working the steps has been
feeling a little pointless lately.

Just take it one day at a time.

That's the thing, I may
not have many days left.

Look, I don't want sympathy.
I mean, it is what it is.

But it's hard to work towards
something when you know you're dying.

It might be about closure now.

Making peace with
others and yourself.

You've been so focused
on seeking forgiveness.

Who do you need to forgive?

Okay. I...

still don't know who
or what you are exactly,

other than a voice in my head.

But enough is enough.

Since the plane came
back, you have called on me,

relentlessly, and I've listened.

I have literally done
everything that you wanted...

because I believe that what you're
asking us to do is for a purpose.

I mean, it has to be.

So why, after
all that I've done,

am I watching the man
I love freeze to death?

A good, kind man
who also listens to you,

who has worked so
hard to redeem himself.

He doesn't deserve this.

How am I supposed to know

that this is for some greater
good if you just let him die?

How am I supposed
to keep listening?

I need to understand. I
don't wanna lose faith.

Don't make me.

Hey! Hey, stop!

Thief! Help! Somebody stop him!

NYPD! Stop!

Get up. Hands up. Hands up!

- It's your lucky day, kid. I'm a cop.
- Please, ma'am. It was just a candy bar.

It was the first
time ever, I swear.

I'm gonna be in so much
trouble. You don't understand.

- My mom's gonna kill me.
- You should've thought about that...

Let him go.

Let him go.

Look, kid. Don't be stupid, okay?
If I catch you doing this again...

- Okay.
- Go.

What the hell is this?

It's what the kid stole.

No, it isn't.

This is. Twenty boxes, maybe.

I was restocking. I turned my
back for one second, and bam.

Bodega down the way
got hit a couple of days ago.

- Same thing.
- Cold medicine.

- Do you know what they use it for?
- To cook meth.

- Can I run something by you?
- Always.

I, um, caught a kid
stealing a candy bar.

And then I get a calling,
telling me to let him go.

So I did.

And?

Turns out the candy
bar was just a decoy,

and he had half a case of
cold medicine in his backpack.

So you think the candy
bar kid's cooking meth?

I don't know. The bodega
owner said a place down the street

got hit a few days ago, so, yeah. It
makes me think it was the same kid.

Or he could be part
of a bigger operation.

Maybe that's why the
calling told me to let him go,

so that we could
catch the bigger fish.

That's a terrible plan.

More helpful would've been to
bring him in so we can interrogate him.

Mick, why does it feel like you're
always trying to justify the calling?

Because I gotta believe
they're good, Jared.

Well, I should probably
help you track this kid down.

Unless you wanna
let her in on your gift?

Hey, I'm probably gonna
peel off with Vasquez today.

- Really?
- Yeah. I witnessed a crime.

He thinks it could be related to a
bunch of robberies he's tracking.

Yeah. You sure he's not just
trying to get back in your pants?

Um, no. I asked him to help.

Okay, all right. Well, if
you're good, I'm good.

It'll give me a chance to
catch up on some paperwork.

Hey, Vasquez. This
is just a loaner, okay?

Yeah.

Come on, Eden. Give
Daddy a little smile.

I think your daddy's lost it.

She doesn't perform
on command, yet.

Come here, you little diva.

Oh, yeah.

Frosty winter into spring

Sunny summer into fall

I will love you through them all

She likes that one.
Where's it from?

You wanna hear
something so sweet?

Cal was singing it to her.

Aw.

- You saw something?
- Yeah. It was... some kind of train.

But the calling,
it felt different.

Different how?

Like I was gonna die.

You know what would go
really well with this drink?

Dim sum.

- There's a killer place around here.
- Dim sum.

All right, bud. I gotta get you
home. I've got class tonight.

Fine, but we should all
go sometime, as a family.

Wait.

You saying I'm family now?

Yeah, kinda.

Plus, when you order with a big
group, you could order all different kinds.

That's a good point.

You didn't just see three
dark shadows, did you?

No.

But I did see something.

It was all these little pieces
of glass that came together

and formed this
huge bird with talons.

A phoenix, I think.

Which represents life
and rebirth. I looked it up.

Cal said you were
pretty spooked.

It was weird.

I mean, the picture
was bright and cheerful,

- but I felt so... sad.
- Uh-huh.

Hopeless, almost.

- It was just different.
- Hmm.

This bird with talons,

could it have been a dragon
or some other mythical beast?

I mean, it really looked
like a phoenix. Why?

Grasping at
straws, maybe, but...

Your picture, my trains,
Cal's shadows, all...

felt like doom and gloom.

Hopefully, not our
doom and gloom.

We've been on a pretty good
streak since the baby was born.

True.

What if they were
related in some other way?

You said the phoenix
looked as though

it were made up of
tiny little pieces of glass.

Could it have been a mosaic?

Yeah. I suppose.

Because some of the subway
stations have those big murals.

- That could have been the train I saw.
- There's a bunch of this stuff.

Any of those look familiar?

Yeah, that's the
one. Let's see it.

It's downtown. Bowery.

- We should check it out.
- Yeah.

Baby, she's sleeping. She's
not gonna smile anytime soon.

But don't forget, we have
her four-month checkup later.

I'll be back to pick you up.

I'm gonna do a little more
debridement of the dead skin later, okay?

- Oh, joy.
- I know it's painful.

We're trying to
slow the migration.

MRI will tell us if there's been any
deterioration since your last scan.

I need to replace your warm
fluids with some cold dye.

You love torturing
me, don't you?

Not even a little.

What else is going on with you?

At my meeting today, my sponsor
said I should be finding closure,

so I'm ready to move on.

It kind of made me
mad, 'cause I'm not ready.

There's no reason you should be.
It's not fair, what's happening to you.

More painful than the treatment,
is how it's affecting Michaela.

- She really is my soulmate.
- I know how you feel.

I mean, it's not the
same, but, yeah.

- Of course. Alex. Yeah.
- Mmm-hmm.

Hey, at least
there's hope for you.

I have faith in my
retrovirus. We just have to...

keep the frostbite in check
until I fine-tune the formula.

- Wait, you're still experimenting?
- Of course.

I mean, a little more carefully
since the little Alex fiasco, but, yeah.

Al-Zuras' journal
didn't warn you off?

It said the callings are the
only way around the Death Date,

that everything else
was a path to disaster.

Medicine has come a long
way since bleeding and leeches.

There are so many illnesses that were
a death sentence, they now have a cure.

- Why is this any different?
- You really believe that?

Once I figure out how to
reverse the DNA anomaly,

we can go back to being ordinary,
no callings, no more Death Date.

- I hope so.
- Yeah, me, too.

We're trying to track
down one of your riders.

Happy to help, any way I can.

Got on at 156th and
Hewitt, a little after 9:00.

You know what, right on time.

Do you mind if we
talk to the driver?

Um, that'd be... Kory.

- I'll see if he's here.
- Thanks.

I had Diaz put together a map
of robberies similar to yours.

It's all across the boroughs.

If this is all the same
operation, then it's huge.

You're looking for
one of my riders?

Hey, yeah. He's about 17, brown
hair, backpack, got on after 9:00.

Lot of kids get on my
bus around that time.

Guy was shoplifting, probably
got on last minute, definitely winded.

Look, no disrespect, but if I
remembered everyone got on my bus,

I'd quit and go
to Atlantic City.

Does your bus have security
cameras? We wanna see the tapes.

Sure. Just flash your badges at
Sonia. She'll get you what you need.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Guess your calling's trying to
send us on a wild goose chase.

There's always a reason, Jared.

Look, you don't have
to help if you don't want.

Now I'm curious.

- So, those shadows Cal sees...
- What about them?

What if they're not supposed
to make us doubt the callings?

What if they're another
warning, like the fire?

- About what?
- Something terrible that's coming.

Sir. Excuse me.

Here you go.

Thanks, kid. You
raised him well, Dad.

Come on.

The phoenix.

Over there.

So, what now?

I don't know. Just
keep our eyes open.

- You know that gloomy feeling?
- Yeah, I feel it, too.

Approaching express
train is not in service.

Please stand away
from the platform edge.

Look, over there, the
guy from the stairs.

This train is not in service.

Please stand away
from the platform edge.

No, no, no. Stop!

What the hell?

Best thing about
being stuck in a hospital

is the guilt-free junk food.

You always had a sweet tooth. I
should have brought something for you.

I'm just glad you could
come today, Mom.

What happened? You were doing
so well, taking care of yourself.

I'm not using, Mom. I promise.

Then why are you so sick?

I told you, I'm recovering from burns
and smoke inhalation from that fire.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry. It's just that, um,

it's been a long time now.

You're all I've got.

- So I worry.
- You don't need to apologize.

After all the times I lied to you,
you have a right to doubt me.

Now I just feel so lucky
to have my son back.

To see you happy and... in love.

I really like Michaela.

Me, too.

Well, guess I better get going if
I'm gonna make it out there today.

- I love you.
- Hmm.

I love you so much.

I wish you could come with me.

We'll go again when I'm better.

Okay.

My sister loved Jones Beach, so we
go out there every year to remember her.

That's a beautiful tradition.

Unfortunately, my IV doesn't travel
further than the vending machine.

You still haven't told her
what's really going on, have you?

Why torment her?

Thought I'd wait till I
was on death's door.

Which I might be, judging
by the look on your face.

How bad is it?

Yeah, the MRI results
aren't exactly what I'd hoped.

There's some new
damage to your muscles.

So I'm still freezing to death.

We are not gonna lose this fight,
okay? You mean too much to all of us.

Hey, you find something?

Yeah, I'm never sitting on a
bus again. People are disgusting.

Thanks for the PSA. Any
leads on the shoplifter?

Yeah, we have three kids who
match your description of the runner.

Yeah, that's him.

Okay.

All right. He got off
at... Franklin High.

Forward me a screenshot.

I'll call the principal and
send it over for an ID.

So, how was your little
walk down memory lane?

It's good to be friends
again, thank you for asking.

I don't have many friends who
would infiltrate a hate group for me.

No, he's a cop. He's
just doing his job.

Yeah, well, that maybe
explains the undercover part,

but that awful
haircut, that's true love.

Okay, let's just forward
him the screenshot.

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, how's he doing?

He's sleeping. Just scrapes
and bruises, nothing serious.

He's lucky you two were
on the platform today.

- Any ID?
- No ID, no phone.

We put him in the database.
Someone misses him, they show up.

- All right, thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

- And you're sure he's not a passenger?
- I'm positive.

So, that's it.

We save his life and
have no idea who he is

or why the callings
led us to him.

Hopefully we get some
answers when he wakes up.

He was holding that matchbox
when he tried to end it all.

It's a music box.

- It's Grace's lullaby.
- What?

Grace was singing
this lullaby today.

- Where'd she learn it?
- Cal.

So the lullaby's gotta
be a calling, too, right?

A subway, a phoenix
mosaic and a lullaby.

- That's a weird puzzle.
- Song was about the seasons. I can't...

I can't recall the lyrics.

Maybe that's the key. Cal knows
them. We should talk to him.

Yeah.

He seemed like a nice guy.

Sad he tried to end his life.

Hey. We gave him
a second chance.

Now we just need
to figure out why.

It was just a candy bar.

Great. Well, that excuse
worked this morning,

when you forgot to tell us about
the cold medicine you snatched.

Help me understand something,
Oscar. Straight A's, honor student...

- and cooks meth?
- Meth?

No, no, no. I don't cook meth.

I don't do drugs, all right?
I'm on the track team.

Okay, well, doesn't look like
you have much of a cold either.

So you wanna help us out here?

Please, you gotta believe me. I
had no idea those were to make meth.

Mmm-hmm. Then you
work for somebody that does.

Come on, man. Don't
make us bring you in on this.

I don't know them,
all right? It was a JoJo.

- A what?
- JoJo's delivery service.

Like a dark net TaskRabbit.

As if you were
explaining to your mother.

So, you get a snap
of what to steal

and where to drop it off,
and then they Venmo you.

Who are they?

Uh, I just know
the handle's Try3.

Okay, so you took
the bus to the drop-off.

No, the bus is the drop-off.

- Ah! Ha-ha. Checkmate.
- Uh-huh. Oh!

No mercy for a
sick patient, huh?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

You should've seen the tournaments
we had in the cancer ward. Rematch?

I'm a glutton for
punishment. Set the board.

- Hey, how you doing?
- There he is.

Getting my butt kicked.

Cal, I need you to talk to TJ. We
think your lullaby might be a calling.

- What lullaby?
- You know, the one you sing to Eden.

Frosty winter into spring

Sunny summer into fall

I will love you through them all

How do you know that?

My dad wrote that.

Was he a songwriter?

No, he just... He would sing
me and my sister to sleep.

He had a little music box
he used to make up songs to.

No one else would know them.

Zeke, when was the last
time you saw your dad?

He left a few months
after my sister died.

I haven't seen him since.

He's dead for all I know.

Actually...

I think he might be downstairs.

Told you the
callings had a plan.

"Let him go." If I hadn't,

then we wouldn't be on to
this bus drop-off or any of this.

If the callings really wanted to
help, they'd lead us directly to the lab.

Oh, where's the fun in that?

Fun's gonna be an ice-cold beer
once we put these criminals away.

Hey. So, we got access
to Try3's payment list,

and it matches most of the
bodega thefts in the five boroughs.

They steal the items,
drop them off on the bus

and then someone
comes and picks them up.

And most of the payments were
made within two hours of the theft.

Never making any direct contact.

So the kids can't
ID the dealers.

- It's crafty.
- Do we know who Try3 is?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah, Jace Baylor.

History of violence, stint upstate
for possession and sale of meth.

He was busted for
buying fertilizer in bulk.

Looks like he found a
smarter way to get his supplies.

Didn't take him long. He
was released four months ago.

Just when the robberies started.

Might be tricky to find him.

He was evicted from
his last known address,

and hasn't checked in
with his parole officer.

I have a guy in Narcotics
who owes me a favor.

I'll see what he knows.

I'm gonna check in on Zeke.

I'll text you if I
get an address.

What are we waiting
for? Let's go find your dad.

I'm not sure that's
such a good idea, bud.

Don't you wanna see him?

Let's just say, I didn't get as
lucky as you in the dad department.

Hey, Calamander, what do you say
you come with me and your sister?

Get us checked
in, we'll wait for you.

Thank you. Thanks, buddy.

- Bye, guys.
- See you later.

There has to be a reason the
calling brought us to your father.

Calling wasted your time.

My dad made it very clear

he wanted nothing to
do with me years ago.

I think he may be changed.

I get the feeling he's
got a lot of regrets.

Good. He should.

You're angry. I get it.

But...

he's your dad.

- Does he not get a second chance?
- He's not like you, Ben.

Your kid gets hurt, you pick 'em
up, you tell them it's gonna be okay.

My dad dumped all the
blame on me and bailed.

After your sister died.

There is no excuse for that.

But...

as someone that has a
brand-new baby girl, I...

can't imagine what I would do
if something happened to her.

You know, grief can
make us do crazy things.

You don't have to
tell me about grief.

I fell apart.

Where was he?

He moved on. No note, nothing.

- I never saw him again.
- And he's a broken man because of it.

Zeke... he was about
to take his own life.

That's not my responsibility.

What if this is your chance...

to let go of all that
hurt and anger?

I'm not gonna spend the little
time I have left on that man.

You're not doing this for
him. You're doing this for you.

Maybe it's time
that you forgive...

so you can find some closure.

You're...

You and your dad
were at the subway.

Not my dad, but, uh...

Yeah. How you feeling?

You shouldn't have saved me.

- Don't say that.
- It's the truth.

There was a mural of a
phoenix in the subway.

Does that mean anything to you?

It's a symbol of
rebirth and renewal.

Maybe you got a
chance to try again.

- What makes you think I deserve one?
- Everyone does.

- What is it to you, anyway?
- A lot, actually.

My mother killed herself.

And I would do anything
to be able to see her again.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure someone feels
the same way about you.

Don't you have a family?

- They've forgotten about me by now.
- I doubt that.

How do you know they're not
out there looking for you right now?

Because what I did
was unforgivable.

I abandoned them
when they needed me.

Hey, Dad.

Zeke?

- I can't believe it.
- I can. Zeke needed this.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Hey, I didn't expect to see
you up and around so soon.

- Are the treatments getting easier?
- No, I just had to...

My dad's downstairs.

How is that possible? I
thought you guys lost touch.

A calling.

I don't know how or why, but it
led your brother and TJ to him.

- They brought him here.
- Wow.

How was it seeing him?

I've carried so
much anger and hurt.

But just now, he seemed small.

Just a sad, old man.

You gonna see him again?

We're gonna take a
train out to Chloe's beach.

Give us a chance
to at least talk.

Wait, right now? What
about your treatment?

I'm done.

I'm stopping the treatment.

What do you mean, you're done?

- If you don't keep going...
- Michaela.

I've been staying alive,
but I haven't been living.

I don't wanna spend my
last days hooked up to tubes,

getting my skin scraped
off, trapped inside this place.

I wanna spend it with you...

in your arms.

But I don't understand.

You went and saw your dad,
now you're just gonna give up?

No! No, it's just...

It gave me some clarity.

Believe me, the last thing I
wanna do is cause you pain.

- It's why I've been fighting so hard...
- We're gonna find you a cure, Zeke.

And I hope to God
I'm there to take it.

But right now, I need to
live every day like it's my last.

Hey, I know.

I'm lucky. I've been able to make
peace with everyone I needed to.

I feel closure.

I'm ready.

I just need you to be.

Let me go.

Oh, great. Tim, my badge
isn't working. Can you let me in?

I'm sorry, Dr. Bahl, but I'm
afraid we have to ask you to leave.

What... Is this
some kind of a drill?

Your hospital privileges
have been revoked.

That's, uh...

That's not possible.
My research is in there.

How am I supposed to do my job?

Please, if you'll come with us.

Hey, you don't understand.
People's lives are at stake here.

Please, Dr. Bahl.

Tim, who authorized this?

Who authorized this?

You've been awfully
quiet. You okay?

Yeah. You sure this
is the right place?

Yeah.

My boy in Narcotics says Jace has
been crashing here with a brother.

You hungry?

Got you a pastrami and rye
from that hole-in-the-wall place

we used to love to go to.

What is this?

- A sandwich.
- Thank you. Um...

It's my favorite sandwich.

And you've gotten on
this case with me and...

You asked for help.

Look, Jay, I...

I'm beyond grateful for the
risks that you took to protect me,

and for saving Zeke's life.

But I'm with him now, and...

I love him.

Mick, you're way off-base here.

- Am I?
- I know you're with Zeke.

And I'm happy for you.

Maybe that's an overstatement,
but I've accepted it.

And, yeah, you're right. I did
wanna work this case with you,

but not 'cause I wanna
get back with you.

It's 'cause I miss
having you in my life.

I can handle not being
with you anymore.

I can't handle not
having you as a friend.

Me, too.

I mean, who knows?
Maybe, after all this,

Zeke and I will be friends.

What?

He hates me, doesn't he?

- Of course he does.
- No.

It's just that he might not
be around for much longer.

What do you mean?

He's not being treated for
burns, Jared. He's dying.

Being back has a cost, and
however long we were gone...

that's how long
we have left to live.

- Wait, you have this, too?
- Yeah.

The callings made
that pretty clear.

- How can you even be sure that...
- We are, Jared.

It happened to Griffin.
It's happening to Zeke.

- How is this even possible?
- How is any of this possible?

Jared, how is
it possible that...

Zeke's telling me to let him go.

Wait, wait, wait. So the
calling was about Zeke?

I don't know. I don't...

I don't know. I'm...

more confused than
I've ever been. I'm just...

praying that we make
this meth-ring bust,

so that I know that that's
what the callings meant.

Mick...

Hey, hold on. Look.

- That's the bus driver.
- He's the courier.

He's making a drop, is my guess.

129, 85 in progress at 272
Barnell. Requesting backup.

We gotta get in
there before he bails.

Gas company. You have a leak.

Clear.

Police! Don't move!

Freeze! Hands where I can
see them! Down on the ground!

Down on the ground! Get
over! Over here right now!

Pull.

- You don't wanna do this.
- Jace, shut up.

Yeah, I know exactly who you are.
In fact, I came especially to see you.

Ah, well, now we've been
introduced. You best walk away.

Let him go.

You know there'll be hell to
pay, don't you, pretty lady?

The pain I'll bring down on you,
a holy vengeance like nothing

- you've ever seen before.
- Shut up.

You threatening me is only
gonna make it worse for you, okay?

This is bigger than both of us.

Let him go.

Let him go.

Let him go!

No!

Jace Baylor, you are under arrest
for possession of an illegal substance

with intent to sell.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

Do you understand these rights?

A scoop of chocolate on
the bottom, mint on top with...

sprinkles.

I mean, I know a nursing
mother needs her calcium,

but sprinkles? What
is the occasion?

Second chances.

You know, today
reminded me that I haven't

exactly been making
the most of mine.

So starting now...

watch out.

I like the sound of that.

But what have you
done with my husband?

I've just been trying so hard
to make sense of everything,

and I've gotten nowhere.

Meanwhile, the callings keep...

Keep doing these amazing things.

Yeah, they do. So now what?

Do what the callings have
wanted us to do all along.

Just listen.

Follow and listen.

That's where we're
gonna find our answers.

So...

does that mean no more
late nights in the garage?

Yeah, I better lock it up
before my skeptical mind rebels.

We're gonna get you back, then?

Are you kidding?

I am not missing another
milestone with my kids.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi.

Hey, baby girl.

There's your smile.

That's my girl.

Hey.

So, uh, this thing Zeke has...

And you.

- There's no cure?
- Not for lack of trying.

Something else wrong?

At the bust, I got a calling
that told me to let him go.

And I didn't.

Why would it ask you
something like that?

Who knows. Maybe it's
talking about Zeke again, but...

- I'm gonna lose my mind.
- Please don't.

It'd be terrible timing now
that we're finally friends again.

- So what happens now?
- I don't know.

I've never defied
a calling before.

I think you made
the right choice.

Hey.

- Wasn't expecting you'd be home yet.
- Mmm-hmm.

- Ooh, you're freezing.
- It's cold at the beach.

- How'd it go with your dad?
- It was tough, but we muddled through.

I don't know what
comes of it, but...

Maybe now neither of
us will die with regrets.

Mick, the puppy-dog eyes
are not changing my mind.

I know.

But I don't have to agree with
you, or the callings, or any of it.

I didn't expect you to.

Pretty much my entire life has
been about regret and sadness.

But I don't want
to end it like that.

I want to go out on my terms...

with the love of my life,

making one more
memory I can take with me.

What are you doing?

Will you marry me, Michaela?

Yes. Yes, I will.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

There we go.

Did Zeke and his
dad make up yet?

They're working on it.

And how about you, bud?

Have you seen any of
those scary shadows lately?

No.

- Why do you think?
- I don't know.

But I bet we're
gonna figure it out.

As your wise
grandma always said...

"All things work
together for good."

Sleep tight.

- Love you.
- Love you, too.
