Manifest (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Carry On - full transcript

Previously on "Manifest"...

So, your mom was Buddhist?

When I came back and she was gone,

I had my own mini ‭Buddhist
memorial rite for her.

I want you to have this.

I have something for you, too.

Professor Stone. Simon White.

- We're delighted you're considering us.
- I'm glad to be here.

I'll get you all the
information you need today.

Good, 'cause it's all coming
together on our end.

SAANVI: If there's a chance
to cure the Death Date,



- I have to figure it out.
- Been hoping you'd reach out.

No, I wouldn't have bothered
you. I just hit a wall.

- Can I at least say I'm sorry?
- I loved you.

[SHAKILY] I think I did
it. DNA has no anomaly.

What the hell is with
all these passengers?

It's a trap. He lured us here!

Ben!

We will all be miracles

and transcend death just like you did.

Get her out! Go!

I'm coming back!

TJ found a journal.

He thinks it's about the Death Date.

BOWERS: Six lives total so far.

We're working closely with
FDNY to gather more information.

And, yes, we are very much
treating this fire as a crime.

Is it true that the
passengers of Flight 828

were the intended targets?

That's our best guess so far.

Although a number of the
fatalities and injuries

- have been non-passengers.
- So, who torched the place?

Detective Stone's
firsthand account indicates

this might have been arson committed by

a disgruntled member of
the Church of the Believers.

Isaiah McCann.

This has those Xer sons of
bitches written all over it.

Maybe these two are working with them.

- I don't think so.
- You seem awfully certain.

- The investigation is ongoing.
- You know something we don't?

So keep this information under
wraps until further notice.

REPORTER: Suspected arson is at play.

As you can see behind me,

- the community has rallied together,
- _

bringing flowers, cards, candles...

GRACE: Sweet of you to stop by, Simon.

It's the least I could do.

- [RINGTONE PLAYS]
- [GROANS] I'm sorry.

The phone calls, news
coverage, it's nonstop.

Excuse me. Hello?

We took Cal to my dad's.
It's just too much for him.

Any of us, really.

And as for Olive, well, it's...

I know TJ was a friend to all of you.

Everyone on campus is terribly upset.

Upset?! That is such bull!

- Olive!
- No, I'm sorry.

Everyone at that campus
thought TJ was a freak.

Nobody accepted him.

Nobody even knew anything about him.

And now they're all sad that he's gone.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I-I-I'll just get out of your hair.

Just gonna use the bathroom.

Yeah, it's through
the door on the right.

[REPORTER SPEAKING

A woman from the Bronx
has found her sister...

- Do you really need to be watching this?
- ... last seen at the nightclub,

being treated at Ed Koch Hospital.

It's just search-and-rescue
still going on.

Alright, that woman
just found her sister.

I mean, TJ could have
made it out alive, too.

Recently, the National

SIMON: Look, our mission with
Humanity First is simple...

to create a greater,
safer, stronger nation

for us and our children.

The passengers of Flight
828 threaten that mission.

They've robbed banks. They've
been accused of murder.

And rumors of their inhuman
abilities run rampant.

Let us be clear.

These are 185 walking time bombs

working in our hospitals,

our universities, our police precincts.

Which one of them will
be next to detonate?

We gotta get these
bastards before they get us.

- Be in touch.
- Very good.

♪♪

I appreciate you attending.

I appreciate you asking.

Listen, just a heads up.

I wouldn't be surprised
if people in your orbit

start to get interrogated about
that club fire the other night.

I'm on the verge of exposing the
828ers for the threat they are.

Violence would make them sympathetic.

Why would I do that?

I'm not saying you would.

My sources tell me

it was a rogue member of
the Church of the Believers.

Their leader disappeared, too.

Probably in hiding.

This is good.

We could use this.

False flag operation
set by 828 sympathizers

to generate support.

Thank you.

You've proven quite valuable.

Happy to help.

Jared, uh, one favor to ask.

A-A movement like ours needs all types,

but we've got some... impulsive members.

Your pal Billy for one.

He's quite effective at bringing
new people to the movement,

but he tends to act without thinking.

- Hmm.
- Which could be detrimental to our goals.

Please keep an eye on him.

MAN: Yeah, if we could
get a bed, please.

You need a bed?

Saanvi. Hey. Saanvi.

- Yeah?

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I've just been here
all night. What's up?

The last thing I want to do is
take you away from an emergency.

There's no one else to save.

They suspended the search-and-rescue.

It's just search-and-recovery now.

What?

Could I show you something?

WOMAN: If you could just
take a seat, please...

Are you in any pain?

Nothing I can't handle.

But it's not getting better.

It's just like in the cave.

I think you might be right.

I may be freezing to
death. Can you help me?

We need to get you to my
lab right now. Let's go.

Sorry, Jared did what?

Defended the Xers.

At least that's what
it sounded like to me.

He was insistent that they
couldn't be involved in the arson.

- What?
- I mean, the Xers didn't start the fire, but...

- But... ?
- I don't know. I...

My gut is telling me that
Jared's involved in something

that could cause some serious problems.

You think he's in with the Xers?

Do you?

I hate to say it, but, yeah, I do.

I-I think he's leaking
police intel to them.

He copied my investigations
and then he lied about it.

She seems okay, but I don't know.

My laying into her about Adrian

But you were right, Ben.

Everything you said to her.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it any better.

I told myself I was gonna
make up for lost time,

but I just pushed her further
and further away from me

since I came back, Grace.

I don't know what to do.

I think we need to give her space.

And who knows?

Maybe the time will
be good for both of you.

What do you mean?

Ben, when you came back

and learned that your mother had died,

you were so focused on helping all of us

that I don't think you ever
really processed that loss.

This is about Olive.

And she just lost
the first love of her life.

I have to do something to help her.

You can't protect her from her pain.

I just can't stop thinking
about that Al-Zuras illustration

of the man carrying the
girl through the fire.

It might as well have been a picture

of me and Olive at the nightclub.

I know. It gives me the chills.

It means something.

There's no bone or muscle damage.

I want to check your blood-cell

This is all just a band-aid.

It's not gonna save my life.

- No.
- So what will?

Saanvi, I've got six months. Please.

I've been doing some
experiments on myself.

I've been able to eliminate
the DNA anomaly from my body

with an injectable serum.

And the Callings?

They're gone.

So, what are we waiting for?

It's still preliminary, Zeke.

I don't know how long it's
gonna last or if it's even safe.

There could be side effects,
and it could backfire.

- It could make me worse.
- Worse than dying?

Look, Michaela and I...

She makes me feel like my life
is finally coming together.

And to lose it all because
of this Death Date...

I'm a sap.

Listen, when you care
for someone that deeply,

I get wanting to hold
onto it, no matter what.

Been there, done that?

I wish I was still there.

But I lost it.

Saanvi, I don't have
any more time to waste.

Okay.

First, you need to clear
the pre-clinical testing...

kidney function, liver
enzymes, tox screens.

That's just to name a few.

If you pass that,

doesn't reject the infusion,

then, yes, you might have a
chance of actually beating this.

It's all my fault.

This was not your fault, Olive.

It was a horrible tragedy

at the hands of someone
who was seriously disturbed.

Olive.

This drawing... Every time
I see it, I see you and me.

I just had a Calling when I
was looking at it in the garage.

What did the Calling say?

I don't know. It was
some sort of chanting.

But I think it has something
to do with you and me.

I'm not a part of the Callings.

I think now you are.

I think we're supposed
to do something together.

Well, it's a little late now, isn't it?

If some random, old drawing

suddenly makes me a
part of the Callings,

then why didn't the drawings

show you carrying me
and TJ out of the fire?

Why didn't the Callings stop this?

The Callings didn't
do this to TJ, Olive.

Well, it sure didn't save him, either.

TJ surviving, us following the Callings,

it's... it's teaching us something.

When you figure out what that is,

Hey. What are you doing here?

I haven't been able
to concentrate all day.

That was a mistake. It was lovely.

But, Saanvi, I've made my choice,

and it's my family, my husband.

You and I...

we can never do that again.

Do what again?

Us. In the park.

I don't remember being at the park.

I don't remember where
I was this morning.

I don't...

I don't remember a thing.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

No. Not really.

What's up?

Jared...

betrayed me in a way that
I can't even describe.

There's no way to
justify what he's done,

but [SIGHS] why do I
feel like I deserve it?

'Cause you have a huge heart.

I'm so glad I have you

and that we can trust each other.

Me, too.

Michaela, I gotta...

What?

Zeke, what is this?

Frost bite.

It's happening.

No.

No, no, no. I can't lose you. I can't.

Saanvi thinks she can help.

She may have a cure.

I'm not giving up without a fight.
