Manifest (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Black Box - full transcript
Michaela is pushed into the midst of a high-stakes bank robbery perpetrated by a mystery assailant; Ben and TJ piece together an arcane set of mythological clues; Adrian draws Olive further into the world of the Believers
Previously on "Manifest"...
Detective Stone,
what do you know
about the night you were shot?
I know that it was an accident.
I also know
that Detective Vasquez
broke into my house
without probable cause
to confront Zeke Landon.
No one's ever done
anything like that for me.
My dad, my brother, and my aunt
were all 828 passengers.
Being here...
I now realize that we...
We all belong.
Never mind.
I got this.
Evie, no, you don't.
Can you hear me?
How could you come here?
Get out of this house.
Saanvi: You were right.
I found the leak.
I only told one person
about that vial.
My psychiatrist.
There.
Ben: She's not informing
the Major.
She is the Major.
Now we turn the tables.
Here you go.
Thanks.
"Old Yeller's" decent.
Cute dog.
Spoiler alert... bummer ending.
But if you want
a really cool adventure,
check out
"A Wrinkle in Time."
Olive, we're next.
Grace: There you are.
Your dad and brother
got on Flight 828.
It lands a few hours after ours.
Are you sure you don't want
to go with Cal?
No, I like us having
mom/daughter time.
Oh, me, too.
Gate agent: Final call
for JFK passengers
willing to take a later flight.
Final call for JFK passengers
willing to take a later flight.
Actually, Mom, will you be upset
if I do go with them?
What happened
to mom/daughter time?
Next weekend.
Mani-pedis?
Okay, go.
♪♪
The book's really good so far.
Yeah, if you like that,
then you'll love Homer.
I don't read Latin.
I'm 101/2.
What's up, Ten-and-a-Half?
I'm TJ.
Adrian: Miracles.
All the world's religions
have been based
on apocryphal miracles.
Resurrection, reincarnation...
All rumors and myths
that trace back millennia.
Until Flight 828 returned.
That 191 miracle returnees
reappeared on Earth
makes an undeniable case
for miracles tomorrow.
Believe in the miracle
of Flight 828.
Believe in the passengers,
who, after escaping death,
will now walk among you
for decades to come.

After a month of testing,
I was able to confirm
elimination of the 828 anomaly
in a petri dish.
Now I need to move on
to phase two...
Test the viability and toxicity
of the serum
on a living specimen.
Alright, Hero.
Let's do this.
I got to go, but if you
survive this, little buddy,
we might have a chance
of beating the Death Date.
Fingers crossed and lips sealed.
♪♪
I wish I was there
walking you down the aisle,
seeing your radiant smile
and wearing what I am sure
is a killer dress.
Prettiest bride there ever was.
No doubt.
♪♪
I need you to know
that I never...
I never stopped trying, Olive.
What I would've given
to have been there.
What are you doing?
Uh...
Delete it.
Grace.
Ben, delete it.
You're not giving up.
I won't let you.
I'm not giving up.
I never will.
But, Grace, I haven't found
a new clue in over a month.
There hasn't been another
Plane Calling in all that time,
and I still haven't come across
one other passenger
even aware of the Death Date.
You have five years.
Why are you torturing yourself
like this?
Peace of mind.
I believe in you.
You will find a way.
♪♪
Evie is so excited.
Her outfit, shoes, handbag...
It's all blush pink.
Had it dyed to match.
Have you seen it?
I have, yeah.
It warms our hearts each time
you walk in the door.
That makes three of us.
Thank you.
So, who are you taking to prom?
Um, I don't actually
have a date.
Really?
There isn't a boy
you're interested in?
You know what?
There is, actually.
Mm.
He's new.
He's kind of a loner type,
but he's got
a really good heart.
Mm. Good heart
goes a long way.
Yeah.
We haven't talked that much
in the past month.
To be honest, I don't even
really know him that well,
but there's something about him
that's drawn me towards him.
The last guy that I dated,
it didn't go so well.
We, um, kind of broke
each other's hearts,
and I'm scared of opening myself
back up and then lose him,
because I don't... I don't know
how long he's gonna be around.
You're a strong girl.
I see it in your eyes.
And loving someone is
the bravest thing you can do.
So let go and be happy,
even if it's for a little while.
I promise it'll be worth it.
♪♪
W- What's your name again, dear?
It's Michaela.
I go to school with Evie.
Nice to meet you, Michaela.
Very nice to meet you, too.
Isaiah, you're taking lead
on the soup kitchen
in Corona tonight.
Got it. Uh, I've got new flyers
ready for distribution, too.
Olive.
Can I speak to you?
Privately?
What you said at your sermon
today, "decades to come"?
Have you heard about
the Death Date?
Enlighten me.
Olive, whatever it is,
it's okay.
It's not.
My dad, Cal, my Aunt Mick,
they all had these Callings
showing that they're gonna die
51/2 years after 828 returned.
They know the exact date.
June 2, 2024.
And I'm sorry to drop
this bomb on you,
but my dad's been working
like crazy
trying to find a way around it.
He's afraid.
We choose which path we follow.
Fear begets fear,
and miracles beget miracles.
We were saved before.
We'll be saved again.
If we believe.
♪♪
Hey, Professor Stone.
Busy?
"Professor Stone."
That never gets old.
Just grading papers.
What can I do you for, TJ?
I had another Calling.
What do you know about a bug,
a bird, a fish, and a tiger?
♪♪
Coincidence you've been eating
here so much during my shifts?
Coincidence you've been working
so much during my meals?
Just ask me out
for dinner already.
I would, honestly.
I just got out of something.
Two somethings, actually.
Not really ready
for another something.
Then maybe we just skip
the dinner.
Hey, leave the poor bastard
alone and get me another beer.
Saved by the brother.
Coming up, Billy boy.
Michaela:
Bring him back.

Bring who back?

Zeke.
What are you doing here?
I think... I-I think
I'm supposed to bring...
Bring him back?
Yeah. Me, too.
Um...
What, you thought the
Calling was telling
you to bring me back?
I don't know.
I mean, do you see anyone here
who looks like they need help?
Not yet.
But I'm glad we're
doing this together.
I called you.
Couple times.
Yeah, sorry.
I've just been overwhelmed.
With what? Work?
Is it me?
Why haven't I seen you lately?
Man: Everybody down!
Everybody get down!
Don't touch it! Don't touch it!
Get down!
Everybody down on the floor now!
I'm off duty.
I don't have my gun.
Get down!
On the ground!
The Calling brought us here
for this?
Get down!
Down! Get down!
Okay, everybody stay down.
Stay down.
You!
Yeah, you, you, move.
Move to the back.
Come on.
Everybody move.
Move!
Come on.
Okay, phones.
Phones.
Give me your phones.
Put your phone in there.
We got to calm this guy down.
Easier said than done.
He's a total amateur.
Out of the way.
How can you tell?
Out of the way. Move.
He's got no body armor,
no backup.
He hasn't taken out
a single camera.
Most of the time these guys are
in and out, three minutes max.
So he doesn't know
what he's doing.
No phones?
That's a good thing,
right?
No, it means he's unpredictable,
dangerous.
Yeah, but if he's not a pro,
maybe we can figure out a way
to take him down.
- Please, please.
- Stay down.
Nobody needs to get hurt.
No, get down. No.
No talking.
Hey.
Y...
I can tell that you haven't
done this before.
I s... I said no talking.
You don't want anyone
to get hurt, right?
How about we get him some money
out of the drawers?
No, I don't care about money.
I need to get into the vault.
The vault is locked.
It shuts down automatically
whenever the silent alarm
is triggered.
Buddy, you're better off just
getting money from the register.
You're not listening to me!
I don't care about money.
I need to get into the vault.
Zeke!
You were on 828.
So was I.
♪♪
My research has stalled out.
There's a geneticist in Sweden
that might be able to help,
but if he can't,
I think I might have to give up
working on the anomaly.
Bang. You're dead.
Come on.
That was a good one.
Stop fidgeting
with your necklace.
It's a dead giveaway.
The Major is a seasoned
intelligence officer.
Busy up your hands.
Eat an apple or something.
I don't understand
how lying about needing help
from some made-up
Swedish geneticist
gets us anywhere.
When the Major hears
a foreign scientist
might prove useful to her,
I'm betting it'll activate her
to reach out to her superiors.
Why?
Isn't exposing her enough?
She's a shadow.
We expose her, she disappears,
another black op opens up
in her place.
But if we can identify someone
who'll be hurt by this scandal,
then we can go to the press,
break this wide open.
You and Ben really think
that this is a good idea?
You know,
you can ask him yourself.
This isn't junior high.
Start talking already.
It's been weeks.
He lied to me.
Ben only lied to you
because I made him lie to you.
Let's just focus on
what I should be doing.
Good. You still holding up
appearances at the hospital?
Yes, leaving placebo samples
at my lab,
which so-called Dr. Matthews
is still siphoning.
Good.
I know you're anxious
to get back to your
real 828 research,
but I need you
to hold off completely
until we shut down the Major.
We're close.
And we can't risk anything.
I know.
These are the images I saw,
along with "2012,"
which I assume is the year.
I don't even know
what we're looking for.
Olive.
Hey, I was on my way
to SAT prep.
Just wanted to stop by
and say hi.
And borrow 20 bucks.
Well, I was gonna ask for $10,
but $20's good.
I'm TJ.
TJ was on Flight 828.
Y- You might remember him.
He was at the airport
in Jamaica.
You look... familiar.
Gate agent: Next.
Hey, any seats left
on that later flight?
I was hoping to get
one of those vouchers,
take my mom to San Francisco
next summer.
One seat left.
Nice. I'll take it.
Unless, of course,
Ten-and-a-Half here wants it.
It's okay.
You can have it.
Keep reading, Ten-and-a-Half.
Sorry, you don't ring a bell.
So what are you guys working on?
TJ had a Calling, and I'm trying
to help him figure it out.
Even though she wasn't with us,
she has an uncanny knack
for this stuff.
So why are you guys researching
the Gramercy Club?
The animals.
That's the logo
for the Gramercy Club.
Oh, I mean, where have you guys
been the past five years?
Alright, it's this cool,
members-only athletic club
in the city.
Some of the rich kids
at my school belong to it.
Fancy restaurants, bars,
a bunch of courts and pools.
I never scored an invite myself.
Let's go.
Maybe there's
something big there.
Uh, wait a minute.
I would love my 20 bucks now,
thank you.
- Love you.
- Love you.
See ya.
Yeah, see ya.
I was on the plane, too.
My name's Michaela.
I'm Logan.
Logan, look, I understand, okay?
Coming back was hard
for all of us.
I felt confused and isolated.
Nobody understood what...
I can't believe you were
on 828.
Why the hell are we
at the same bank together?
We're trying to figure that out.
You're another one of us?
It's complicated.
Logan, can I... um, can...
D- Do you see visions
or hear voices?
Because I do, too.
That's how
I wound up here today.
Damn it!
You hit the alarm!
Look, I'm NYPD, okay?
I can help you...
You're a cop?!
Take it easy.
Put the gun down,
and you may be able
to get out of this
with little jail time.
I don't care about jail time.
I'm trying to save my life.
How's robbing a bank
gonna save your life?
I saw a vision of my future.
My tombstone.
And not just once.
I see it over and over again.
It's...
It's real.
If I don't get what I need
from that box, I'm gonna die.
♪♪
He had the Death Date Calling.
No other passenger has any clue
about the Death Date.
That has to be why we're here.
Maybe we don't try and stop him.
Maybe we help him.
What are you talking about?
I mean, he seems to think
that whatever's in that vault
is gonna save him.
So maybe it'll save us, too.
You really think he has
some miracle answer
for the Death Date?
Why?
Because, Zeke, you only have
eight months left to live.
If there's even a slim chance of
saving you, I'm gonna take it.
Go back.
Get on your knees.
Zeke: I don't get it.
You're willing to risk
everything for me now,
but when I try to see you,
you blow me off.
Am I just another person to save
and check off your list?
No, of course not.
Man: Answer the phone!
No. No! No phones.
Logan, it's just the cops
outside, okay?
They're worried about
these hostages.
They just want to talk to you.
I don't want to talk to them.
Then let me.
Logan, you're not the only one
who's had
the Death Date Calling.
You got to start trusting me.
Wait. Calling?
You mean the vision
of my tombstone?
My nephew had a vision
just like it.
Ah, you st... you stop that.
You are trying to manipulate me.
Get back on the ground now!
Hey, man, believe her or not,
but someone needs to calm
those cops down outside
if you ever want
to get in that box.
If... If you try anything...
No, look, we'll make a deal.
We release the hostages, and
they'll open the vault for you.
We can do that, can't we?
If you're worried about losing
bodies and losing leverage,
I'll stay, too.
Zeke, no.
No chance
I'm leaving you behind.
Logan, stop.
Please.
Answer it.

If he's your brother, then why
did you just hold up a bank?
Why didn't you just talk to him?
You don't think that I tried?
He wouldn't listen.
He thinks that everyone
who returned on 828,

He doesn't believe I'm me.
I don't exist.

It was the first step

we were going to die.
Well, maybe this is

So, your dad just chases down
these Callings,
always believing
he can solve them somehow?
It's like you've

Any thoughts on how
we can stop it, SAT girl?

So you do remember me.
My dad's a great guy,

with my brother's cancer,
like he's doing
with the Callings.
He just always needs a solution,
an answer.
I guess that's why
he's a math guy.
Yeah, but...
this constant need
to be in control of everything,
that comes from a place of fear.
We need to approach
this supposed Death Date
