Manifest (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Compass Calibration - full transcript

Previously on Manifest...

We need to track down every
one of them and stop them.

Great. Cody.

We need to take care of them
before they take care of us.

- Stay away from my family.
- He's a cute kid. Wonder if he bleeds.

Borrowing my clothes, that was
one thing, but copying my hair?

I just wanted to be
a part of this family.

You guys are all so nice.

We pity you.

What the hell is
going on? Leave! Now!

Your tears of blood,
your body breaking down.



- It's about a lie. What are you hiding?
- I killed the Major.

We have to do whatever it takes
to make sure that we all survive.

Who put you in charge of
protecting the entire Lifeboat?

The calling did. When it showed
me those burning passengers!

I just confessed to murder. You're
a cop. You have a responsibility.

It appears that God isn't the
only one who can create a miracle.

It vanished?

Argh!

I heard a rumor that coffee is
more effective if you actually drink it.

You missed a hell
of a dinner last night.

But I got to say,
Sarah is the real deal.

She really loves Jared. Her mom
may have been a monster, but...

Mick, what is it?

I know who killed the Major.



Oh, my God. Who?

Saanvi.

She was trying to help
you, but she took it too far.

And now she wants
me to take her in.

She thinks it's the only
way to save the Lifeboat.

But you're torn.

About arresting her?
Yeah, of course I am.

After the accident,
when the gun went off,

you didn't want to arrest me.

So I turned myself in.

It was part of how
I made things right.

If this helps Saanvi,
and the passengers,

and keeps you
loyal to the badge...

you have to take her in.

Yeah.

You busy?

I always have time for you.

What's up?

Olive called.

And she's decided to
spend another night at Levi's.

So what do we do?

Do we tell Angelina to leave and
give her money to find a place?

I mean, Olive won't
tell me what happened.

Angelina's been through so much.

Maybe we just keep it status
quo until Olive's ready to talk.

Yeah. Yeah. It sounds right.

Are you okay?

Just something feels off.

It has ever since I
woke up this morning.

Yeah. For me too.

You know what day it is, right?

Oh, my God.

The 17th.

That explains it.

And yet look at us.

With our family intact.

God knows, I'm trying
to keep it that way.

You keep doing
what you're doing.

I'm off to try out some
new recipes with Zeke.

Angelina's gonna come
with me to help with Eden.

- I should be back in a few hours.
- All right.

- Where's the superglue?
- Come here.

- I love you.
- Okay.

- On the shelf next to the duct tape.
- Thank you.

What was that all about?

What, your mom can't
give you a random hug?

I guess moms are
just weird in that way.

- Dad, can I ask you a question?
- Always. Hit me.

Didn't you get a calling

where passenger photos
started to glow and caught on fire?

Yeah. I think it meant
they were being tested.

Since we're all in the
same Lifeboat, I tried to help.

- Why do you ask?
- Well, I think she's being tested.

What has two thumbs
and just differentiated

the xylem cells of the
Noah's Ark sample?

- This guy.
- This is fantastic.

The more research we have,
the closer we're gonna be

to understanding why that
fragment disappeared for an instant.

And to solving
the mystery of 828.

- Mm.
- Have you gotten back to Dr. Cooper?

Um, I won't have time until
after we're done testing today,

but it's on my list. Why?

He has a working theory that the testing
might be having unintended consequences.

Yeah. Yes. Can
you escort her in?

Thanks. Sorry. Talk later.

- You ready?
- I am. Just not yet.

Are you serious?

Mick, we've had a huge
breakthrough with 828.

I can't say what exactly,
but it's a game-changer.

Okay, Saanvi, I thought we both
agreed that you would turn yourself in.

I am. I'm going to. I have to.

You know, it's part of
my path to redemption.

It's part of mine now too.

I just need until the end of the day
to finish my research and to hand it in.

I promise you.

- Okay. Yeah. End of day. Good luck.
- Yeah.

Astrid?

Astrid?

Come on. I know you're
there. I just want to talk.

Leave me alone. I have a taser.

I'm Ben Stone. I called a
few times. I sent some emails.

I'm a passenger too.

I thought you were one
of the people who hate us.

No.

Are you maybe hearing voices
in your head or seeing things?

I think you're
being tested, Astrid.

I'm here to help.

- 10-33?
- Yeah. Someone just called it in.

Bomb squad just
arrived, so they'll sweep.

In the meantime, we got to manage
all these people that were inside.

By manage you mean figure out

if any of them know who
would want to set off a bomb?

Yep.

There must be
something you can do.

Please. Does anyone have
an ounce of compassion here?

Hey. What seems to
be the problem... Val?

I'm supposed to pick
up my son from school,

but they're not
letting us leave.

I'm so sorry. Maybe there's
someone else that can pick him up.

They'll put him in aftercare.

But I left my phone in my purse
so I can't even message the school

to let them know
I'm running late.

- Thank you so much.
- No problem.

Once you're done, I'll
grab your statement.

And then once the
situation's contained,

you can just grab your
stuff and run, okay?

Peek-a-boo.

I need some taste testers.

- I'm in.
- All right.

- These are beautiful.
- Thank you.

All right, let me know
which one you prefer.

I'm probably only
gonna make one.

What's your baby's name?

Eden. But she's not my baby.

No?

No. She... I'm just a friend.

Nah. I see how she is with you.
There's something more than that.

Calibrating the thermal
spectrum line. Set.

Stabilizing. Set.

Initiate the test.

This might be an excellent
time to talk to Dr. Cooper.

It's okay. Here.

Get down.

Is everyone okay? I
got to check on Cal.

- It's over. It's okay.
- I was sitting right there.

- I could have been crushed.
- Cal's okay. Thank God.

- It was an earthquake.
- In New York?

- Apparently no one saw it coming.
- Eden did.

She was crying. Insisted that
I come to her to protect me.

She's your guardian angel.

Is that true? Are you my angel?

Okay, listen up, everybody.

Bomb squad just confirmed
the call was a hoax.

If you've given your statement,

employees can go back
inside and grab your things.

The store is closed until damage
from the earthquake can be cleaned up.

Thank you.

Hey, go get your son.

If you can think of anyone
who had an issue with the store,

call me directly, okay?

Thank you.

- Was that a calling?
- No. That was real.

Is that what was happening
in your callings? Earthquakes?

Astrid, I know I've dumped a ton
on you, but we have to solve this.

You don't understand.
My anxiety. It's too much.

But if one of us doesn't follow
this calling, then we all go down.

So please let me help you.

Our lives depend on it.

A skull. I've been
seeing a skull.

It's angry.

Here.

Draw what you saw. As
much as you can remember.

It's on a checkerboard.

Checkers. What does that mean
to you? Do you play checkers?

No. The board's
warped, kind of wavy.

Astrid, that's not a game board.

It's a rally flag that
they use in car racing.

I still don't know
what that means.

I do. It's a logo
on a building...

run by someone who hates
828ers and me in particular.

Astrid, I need you
to come with me.

- No.
- I'll do what I can to help.

- But this is your calling to solve.
- No, I can't. I can't leave.

Astrid, I need you to get over
your fear and come with me. Please.

You think I can
just get over it?

That I'm just choosing
to have crippling anxiety?

No, but that's the thing. We
don't have a choice over this either.

No. No, I can't.

I can't go to work because
I have panic attacks,

where it feels like I am dying.

Do you have any idea
what that feels like?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

My son...

had cancer.

He fought so hard.
He was so brave.

Braver than I would
have ever been.

On this day, eight years ago...

the doctors told me he
wasn't gonna make it.

That we should stop treatment

and just let the cancer
take over his tiny little body.

No matter how
much you prepare...

It's not supposed
to happen like that.

I'm supposed to
protect him. He's my boy.

Right then, I felt like I was
the one who was dying.

And now because of 828, he's
got a Death Date all over again.

And I will do anything to make
sure he survives a second time.

So I need you to follow
this calling, not just for you,

but for everyone else on
that plane, including my son.

Dozens of injuries have been
reported in the aftermath of this rare

and unexpected
earthquake in New York,

a city not built to
withstand this kind...

- Beverly's okay?
- Forgot all about it. Taking a nap.

Good.

Speaking of which, I need
to get Eden home for a nap.

But I don't wanna leave
you here with all this.

- It's not safe, not with Beverly.
- I'm happy to take Eden home.

Is that okay with
you, sweet girl?

Yeah? Let me just grab
her bottle from the fridge.

What is it? Angelina?

Olive doesn't fully trust her,

and that whole
guardian angel thing.

Angelina's intense,

but she truly loves Eden
and Eden loves her back.

Is this your famous empathic ability
that I've been hearing so much about?

Actually, it is. I can feel it.

- What do you mean, not a coincidence?
- There was a tremor yesterday.

Barely perceptible, but
my instruments picked it up.

And it happened almost
simultaneously with yesterday's testing.

It's like the quake today. It happened
just as we were testing again.

It's almost as if we caused it.

The timing tracks,
if not the location.

Yesterday, the epicenter was
under us, directly under Eureka.

But today's epicenter was
here, 80 miles north of us.

And look what happened there.

It opened up the kind of fissure
that you'd see near a volcano.

Volcano? There's not a
volcano anywhere near New York.

There's not. At least, not yet.

We took something
from Mount Ararat,

and now it's almost like
Ararat is coming to take it back.

Have you spoken to
Vance about any of this?

I was going to, but
this epicenter doesn't

seem as significant
as yesterday's.

No, I think it is.
Maybe even more so.

Your description made
me think of this logo.

- Is that what you saw?
- Yeah.

Although I don't know why it would
send us here. The place is closed.

Looks like somebody
went through the gate.

Come on.

You gotta be kidding me.

Ben Stone, what the
hell are you doing here?

Besides violating
a restraining order.

I don't know, Cody. You
tell me. Why am I here?

What? I don't have to explain anything
to a damn 828er in my own damn shop.

What took you so long?

All right, listen up. Power's
out in half of Astoria.

Let's coordinate a response
with traffic and patrol.

All right, come
on. Let's hop to it.

That quake was something, huh?

- I never felt one before.
- Yeah, me neither. That was nuts.

Yeah, well, a lot of crazy things
happened after 828 came back, right?

Detective Stone. I
tried to reach you.

I know who called in the bomb
threat. And I think I know why.

Whoa, whoa. Slow
down. What's going on?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. What did I do?

Astrid, you saved me, all right?

All right. Let's get him restrained
before the effects wear off.

Astrid, come on.

I know this guy. He's
a rabid anti-828er.

This is your calling,
right? So why are we here?

I don't know.

I was scheduled to leave
work to pick up my son, right?

But the bomb threat
forced me to stay.

By the time I got
to my son's school,

he'd already been picked
up, and now he's gone.

That bomb threat was
meant to hold me up.

Val, who called in
the bomb threat?

I have no idea. I've
never seen him before.

Don't know why the
calling wants me here.

All right, concentrate.
There must be something.

There always is.

Wait. I recognize that tattoo.

My co-worker has the same one.

Which means that he must be...

My ex-husband, Cody Webber.

He called in the bomb threat
so he could kidnap my son.

Absolutely not.

Saanvi, we have just landed
the biggest discovery in history

and you want to stop testing
because of two earthquakes

in completely
different locations?

The locations were
different, but look.

Yesterday's epicenter was
here, right under Eureka.

- Today's epicenter... Look where it was.
- In the middle of nowhere.

Zeke's cave. The
Meth Heads' lake.

The river that James
Griffin came out of.

Today's earthquake was in the
center of all of these miracles.

In fact, dead center. We're
being sent a message to stop.

This is grasping at straws.

Vance...

you know better than anyone that
the callings do not follow our rules.

Saanvi, the people I answer
to have already been told

we are on the brink
of something huge.

If we stop now, they'll just replace
me, find someone else to do my job.

But to me, this is
more than just a job.

We're closer than we've ever been
to figuring out what happened to 828.

Can you really stop now because
of two possibly unrelated events?

Because I can't.

So I'm sorry. The answer is no.

Okay.

Let's see what happens
during the next tests,

and we'll go from there.

Spoken like a scientist.

When I finally
got to the school,

they said that Cody had already
been there to pick up Robin.

Cody said he had a feeling I
was gonna get held up at work.

Has he ever threatened
to abduct Robin in the past?

No. But we've been in this ugly custody
dispute over Robin for a few years now.

Cody's gotten extremely
protective of Robin,

thinking he's sheltering him from...
Well, Cody's got these crazy theories.

Yeah, I'm aware. My brother had
a run-in with him when 828 landed.

Flight 828. That's when Cody
started to become unhinged.

He believes that the
real passengers died

and the people who came
back are a threat to humanity.

He started talking
about a coming war.

If he thinks there's a war coming,
did he take your son to protect him?

Maybe his craziness about
828's gotten worse than I knew.

The weird thing is I
actually know an 828er,

a work friend, and
she's so sweet.

Yeah, well, now you know two.

Cody's phone's disconnected.
His apartment's completely empty

and his boss said he
didn't show up to work today.

You said he worked at a garden center,
but the last time he ran into trouble,

he owned an auto repair shop.

That went belly up a few months
ago and the bank owns it now.

Still, might be worth checking
out. It's right in the neighborhood.

We have a patrol unit waiting to
take you home whenever you're ready.

Hey, we'll be in touch, okay. You
should be there in case he shows up.

- Are you gonna tell Ben?
- No. Cody took out a restraining order.

Ben can't go anywhere near that
guy. It's better not to rile him up.

- There you are.
- Oh. Hey, where's Eden?

Napping. Poor thing is exhausted
from all the excitement this morning.

Beverly called Eden
my guardian angel.

She saved my life.

Your mom doesn't
believe me either.

I do believe you.

My mom may not
understand, but I do.

I think your mom's listening to
Olive. And why wouldn't she?

She's her daughter, and
I'm just... nothing, really.

I got a calling before
I even met you.

To make a home for you here.

You're supposed to be here.

You and I are connected in a
way other passengers aren't.

And I think Eden is
part of this connection.

Yeah, I think she is too.

And I'm guessing she's gonna
keep finding ways to prove it,

especially if she really
is your guardian angel.

Setting the thermal
spectral line to 180 degrees.

This is test Delta four. Set.

Stabilizing.

And set.

Saanvi.

Are you all right?

- Get her to medical now.
- Vance.

My God.

Gather every speck of this.
We have to salvage what we can.

Get me Zimmer. I
better get ahead of this.

What do you know
about the tattoo?

My friend from work,
Val, she has the same one.

I asked her about it once.

She said she and her
husband got matching tattoos

in honor of their son Robin.

You just had a
calling. What was it?

Please, don't make me do this.

You don't have a choice,
Astrid. None of us do.

- It's about his son? About Robin?
- Don't even say that name.

You people have no idea the
hellfire that's gonna rain down on you.

Astrid, don't listen to him,
please. Please. Lives are at stake.

It was dark. I heard a boy
crying, begging for help.

Your son needs help.

- Where is he?
- You're all crazy.

You 828 freaks may not give a rat's
ass about your kids, but I protect mine.

- Where is he?
- Get your hands off me, Stone.

Ben, he's having
trouble breathing.

He's dying.

Tell me where you have
him. Tell me. Where's Robin?

Where is he?

What's happening?

It's a test.

His trial by fire.

Dad, what are you doing?

- Where's the kid? Talk to me.
- Ben.

Ben, what the hell
were you thinking?

Sorry.

I found a pulse, but his head
wound is really bad. Call a bus.

I was trying to solve
the calling. I'm sorry.

His son's in danger.

This is not how you
solve your callings, Ben.

No. It's not my calling,
it's hers. Astrid Koren.

Astrid, my name's Michaela
Stone. I'm a detective. I was on 828.

I need you just to take
a few breaths, okay?

Breathe.

You're doing great. I need you to
tell me what you saw in that calling.

I saw a boy. Dark hair.

He's about eight or ten.

Robin.

Hey. I'm Lieutenant Vasquez.
This is Detective Stone.

Mr. Webber, your
son is in danger.

He's trapped underneath
something. He can't breathe.

She's lying. She's an 828er.

Okay, one more breath.
What else did you see?

His hands. They were covered
in something bright orange.

I gave him a bag of hot chips.
He gets that orange dust all over.

How could she
possibly know that?

He's missing a shoe.

He had a blister.

Please help us find your son.
You need to tell us where he is.

Sir, they're trying to save
your kid. Do you understand?

This could be his only hope.

You have to hurry. He
can't breathe. He's dying.

Is your hate for us really stronger
than your love for your son?

I built a bunker so no
one could ever find us.

But the generator wouldn't start, so
I left him to come here and get one.

Go. I'll wait till the
ambulance gets here.

Text me the address.
This is your calling.

I will be with you
every step of the way.

But we need to go right
now, okay? Come on.

Can I just say that was epic?

Told you we didn't need more
than five grams of mercury fulminate.

You're holding the wrong arm.

I just hope I mixed in enough
sapphire residue into the ash

to make it convincing.

- It'll be convincing.
- Hand it over. Come on.

I just hope we're
doing the right thing.

We are. Trust. Go, go, go, go.

Come on, Astrid.
You can do this.

Robin.

Robin.

- He's not here.
- Hey, look at me.

This calling chose you
because it believes in you.

Did you see anything else?

Uh...

Nothing. But I heard something.
I could hear water dripping.

I don't hear anything.

- It must be a different building.
- No. He's here. I can feel it.

Okay.

There's water on the
floor. There must be a leak

in one of these pipes.

Robin. Robin. Hey, hey.
Can you hear me? Robin?

Astrid, I need your help. Come on.
Come on. You can do this. Come on.

Come on. I need your help,
please. I need you to lift these up.

On the count of three, I'm gonna
pull him out, all right? One, two...

Robin, come on.
Wake up. Wake up.

- Wake up.
- Robin?

- Robin?
- Mom.

Okay, watch me, my little
angel. Okay, you watching?

We're connected.

If you're my guardian
angel, show me.

This is our trial by fire.

Help me, Eden. We're connected.

Behold, an angel will guard you.

Behold, an angel will guard you.

Behold...

Ow!

Behold, an angel will guard you.

Behold, an angel will guard you.

Behold, an angel will guard you.

Behold, an angel will guard you.

- Put a bit of cumin.
- Yeah?

Just gives it that kick
without being spicy.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Did Eden go down okay?
- Yeah. I think she's up now.

- Angelina's with her.
- Oh, good.

You were right.
Everything's fine.

Zeke?

- Eden. She's scared.
- What? What?

Oh, my God. Fire!

- You stay away from her.
- No.

No. I just needed her
to prove it. It's okay.

- But now you see, don't you?
- See what?

That she's my guardian angel.

She sent you a message
to come up there.

- You did this on purpose?
- It was a test. A trial by fire.

I knew that Eden would
never let me get hurt.

She just proved that
she and I are connected.

- Isn't that right, Eden?
- No!

Get out.

What?

I can't leave. I belong here.

You need to get
your things and go.

Go! Get out!

- Fire's out. Are you all right?
- She's lost her mind.

- She was testing Eden.
- Grace, I'm so sorry.

I could feel her intentions
were good, but I missed it.

Her judgment. I should
have kept my mouth shut.

Feeling what she's feeling and
knowing what she's gonna do next

are two different things.

- This is not your fault. It's mine.
- What?

Olive knew there was
something off about her.

- I should have listened to her.
- Hey, hey. This isn't your fault either.

Your anxiety... Look, it's not
gonna get better overnight,

but there are a lot of
people who can help you.

And you have a hell of a support
system. Starting with me, okay?

Hang in there.

- Hey. Is the kid all right?
- Yeah, he's fine.

Sorry, Mick. It's the second
time he's assaulted this guy.

He sent him to the
hospital this time.

I have to take him in.
I didn't have a choice.

It's okay. We're cops.

Sometimes the right
thing doesn't feel right.

- I wish there was something I could...
- Is the kid okay?

Yeah. Yeah. He'll be okay.

Ben...

what were you thinking?

Astrid kept...

seeing Cody's son dying,
and all I could see was...

Cal.

When he got that final
diagnosis eight years ago today...

Mick, I would've done
anything to save him.

But you felt like you couldn't.

Yeah, but this time I could.

Not just could.

I had to.

Okay, I know that
you think it's your job

- to make sure...
- It is my job, Mick.

Mick, I gotta save Cal. I've...

I have to.

Yeah, I know. I know you
do. But, Ben, not like this.

You nearly killed someone.

Then what?

There's no way our
Lifeboat survives that.

This second chance,
it's about redemption.

I hope we still have
the chance to do that.

This is the part where you
tell me it's all gonna be okay.

I got to go do something else.
I'll see you at the station, okay?

Mom, you can't. Angelina
is supposed to stay with us.

A calling told me that
before I even met her.

- We are supposed to help her.
- And we did.

- But now she has to go.
- No.

To get yourself situated.

I didn't want this.

But I have to protect my family.

I am a part of this family,
Grace. You said that yourself.

We are supposed
to protect each other.

Cal and Eden and I.
You can't separate us.

Goodbye, Angelina.

Cal.

I'm here for Dr. Bahl.

- One sec.
- She's expecting me. It's fine.

Hey. I said one
second. She's not here.

What do you mean,
she's not here?

She left an hour ago. Sorry.

Hey, hey, you marauders

You got away while
they claim I'm a liar

Why aren't the gods and
heroes All around me?

And everyone's turning
their eyes To the ground

And so you strike

While it's hot

While the barricades are broken

You attacked at your will

While all the locks are frayed

Oh

Whoa. Where do you think you're headed?
This area is authorized personnel only.

Yeah, we need to get in.

It's okay, Officer.
They're my assistants.

Colleagues.

Dr. Patrick Cooper, NSA.

Before we start our tests,

I'll need to confer with anyone
who's been in the immediate vicinity.

As will I.

All right, let's round up, people.
Round up. Come on. Hippity hop.
