Manifest (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 13 - Mayday: Part 2 - full transcript

Well, folks, we're about
three hours from New York,

but there's some
turbulence up ahead.

So please stow any loose baggage
back into the overhead compartments

and return to your seats.

Come on, man. I
don't have all day.

You sort of do.

I like to think of these moments
as life pushing the pause button

to give us a chance to reflect.

I don't wanna reflect. I
wanna get back to my seat.

We could talk. Have
you heard the good news?

This blessed angel
tried to show me the light,



but I wasn't ready.

I was just making conversation.

It was because of you
that I found the truth.

And now it is our job to
pass that truth on to you.

We were chosen by God,
but if we abuse his favor,

it could mean doom.

Not just for the passengers,
but for all of mankind.

It's not just a watchlist.

That NSA facility has been
monitoring everything we do.

They're making it out
like we're the enemy.

We gotta expose their lies and
the people who are telling them,

starting with that guy
in charge, Robert Vance.

And Ben and Michaela Stone.

It's time to take action.



- Come on. We're on the move.
- Cal has to be okay.

He's okay. He said
he would see me soon.

He will. We'll get him back.

This is your fault. He told
you to stop testing on the tailfin.

Now look what happened.

Mr. Stone, I know this is
difficult to see right now,

but in a sense, the
experiment was successful.

- We learned something.
- Oh, my God.

Just like with the Ark fragment,

we've shown that the temporal effect
can be accessed by dark lightning.

And now that we know it's
repeatable, we can use it to try...

- Listen to yourself. You're guessing.
- We're analyzing the data.

The data is my son. That thing
has to go back in the ocean.

Cal had a calling.
That's why he was here.

- That's the way to bring him back.
- That we cannot do.

Cal knew you
wouldn't understand.

He knew you wouldn't understand.
That's what he was trying to show you.

Why won't you listen?

Mrs. Stone, if
we lose this tailfin,

we lose any chance of
bringing your son back.

The science is clear.
We just need to identify...

But I don't give a damn
about the science. It's my son.

Please. I have told
you over and over again.

There are some things
science can't explain.

Some things you
have to go on faith.

Don't bother. What does
she know about faith?

When my grandmother
was on her deathbed,

she told me she was gonna
go live among the stars.

I built a telescope
because I wanted to see her,

but I couldn't, because
that's not how it works.

I'm sorry. What does any of
that have to do with our son?

I'm trying to tell you I
understand your desperation,

but you are clinging to faith when
science is what will bring Cal home.

Please, tell me you reached
someone who can put a stop to this.

You've got to shut
this down, Vance.

The NSA is aware of
Cal's disappearance.

They want us to
continue testing.

I thought you were the director.

What happened to full autonomy?
If you're not in charge here, who is?

Ben, I tried.

Yeah. Just let me
know. Thanks, Drea.

No luck?

Apparently, Adrian and Eagan went
off the grid as soon as they got out.

I've called a dozen passengers,
but no one's called me back.

Wish in your calling I'd gotten a
clearer sense of what they're up to.

I mean, I don't know if
Adrian wants to kill someone

or if something he does is
gonna get someone killed.

Or something he says.

He and Eagan are
recruiting 828ers,

telling them that the passenger
registry is Ben's fault, my fault.

They're radicalizing
people using our names,

and now someone
might die because of it.

We gotta stop them.

Bad news, guys. System
says I can't sell to you today.

What? We're in
here all the time.

I know. Wish it was up to me,

but computer says you're
on some 828 watchlist.

Tony, the feds
have it in for us.

What? Now you're on their side?

I'm not on anyone's side here,
Randy. You know how it is.

- It could mean my license.
- Fine. How long do we have to wait?

I'm not waiting.

Really appreciate you
standing up for us back there.

What happened to having a
plan? Doing things your way?

Or is that what you had in
mind? Toeing the party line.

You done? Took you long
enough to march in here.

Ben, you run headlong
into every problem you see.

It makes you a great dad,

but sometimes you
could use a little finesse.

Is that what that was? Finesse?

Because from where I'm
standing, it looked like surrendering.

I've been on 828 since the
beginning. I've seen what Cal can do.

Hell, I nearly got
blown up because of it.

You think I'm gonna give up now?

I already said I'm with you, but
I'm not about to announce to Gupta

I'm gonna ignore an
order from the Pentagon.

This place would be
wall-to-wall federal troops.

You're gonna
ignore the Pentagon.

I've covered up a murder to
protect you and the passengers.

Forget about the callings.

If my kids went missing,

I'd burn down the
castle to get them back.

I made some calls. I think I can
backchannel a Coast Guard transport.

But once we get
that thing out of here,

it's going to feel like the
whole world's against us.

The whole world is against us.

That's why we have each other. And
we are gonna need all hands on deck.

All right.

Let's go save your boy.

Okay. A boat is good
start, but then what?

You can't just throw the
tailfin in the East River.

They'll just fish it
right back out again.

Saanvi put the Ark piece
in that fissure upstate.

We just need to figure out
where the tailfin needs to go.

- How? How do we do that?
- I don't know.

What if... what
if Gupta's right?

- What if the tailfin is the only way...
- No, no.

This is not the time to start
doubting ourselves or the callings.

Just because we
don't have the answer,

it doesn't mean we stop
believing that one exists.

I know there's
an answer. I just...

I don't understand how
I'm supposed to find it.

Look at me.

When you first came
back, I couldn't understand

why this was happening to
you, not to somebody else.

But now I see.

The callings don't
happen to you.

You happen to them, Ben.

Every time you reach
another passenger,

every time one of Cal's
drawings comes true...

Comes true.

Where's his sketchbook?

Uh...

- I guess he didn't bring it.
- I need to find it. I need to go home.

Grace, no, I need you here. Cal
needs you here. If he comes back...

If Cal comes back,
then everything's fine.

But if his sketchbook can
tell us where to put the tailfin,

then I am of more use looking for
it than I am hanging around here.

Please, trust me.

I love you.

Always and forever.

Erika Burness. Patrol picked her
up after she held up a gun store

with her boyfriend,
Randall Barr.

"Shotgun" Randall? He stuck
a gun in Ben's face last year.

Hey. So I sent a car by
Randall's last known address,

but there's no sign...

- No. We talked about this.
- Jared, I had a calling.

You know what, Mick? That's
it. I can't do this anymore.

I can't just throw away the rulebook
every time you decide to get a calling.

Come on, man.

Look, I know you're mad at her,
maybe you're mad at me, but...

This has nothing to do
with us. Do you understand?

This is about her lying to my face
and expecting me to go along with it.

Lying about what?

What's going on with Saanvi?

Why did you bring her in here
the day you decided to quit, Mick?

Now I just found out the Major
kept tapes of her sessions.

Mick, I knew about the therapy
con, but this is more than that, isn't it?

A whole lot of nothing,
just as I expected.

You know what, guys?

You do whatever you're gonna do,
'cause you're gonna do it anyways.

Leave me the hell out of it.

He'll come around.

No, I don't think
this time he will.

Let's get to it.

Okay.

Let's start over. Tell me
about the ammo store.

- Where's Erika?
- I don't know.

We split up when
we heard the cops.

- Did you try calling her?
- We ditched our phones.

- Like you said.
- She'll be fine.

You did good.

You gotta stop getting people
worked up, especially Randall.

He's a loose cannon.

I'm glad he's worked
up. Why aren't you?

We should be trying to
prevent the demise of humanity,

not work out
personal grievances.

Ben Stone will be our
demise. You said it yourself.

Without the shedding of blood
there can be no remission of sins.

- Violence needs to be our last resort.
- Stop.

Are we just gonna
fight each other

or are we gonna figure out how to
save ourselves like we're supposed to?

She's right.

If Erika was picked up by the cops,
how long you think until she talks?

We should go.

And you gotta put this plan of
yours on hold until the smoke clears.

Nothing gets put on hold.
This is our opportunity.

Every time Gupta runs a test,

there's another earthquake.

- Director, you have to get her to stop.
- Trust me, I've tried.

We've pivoted to plan B.

Last time, there was a fault line
where I could take the Ark fragment.

Is there any other place
that could have opened up?

There's seismic activity
offshore but it's all over the place.

I'd need a sonar
scan of the ocean floor.

It would take days.

We don't have that kind of time.

But there should be new
data from the latest tests.

Let me go check.

This isn't on you, Erika.

Adrian and Eagan are using
you to do their dirty work.

Adrian and Eagan are
trying to save the world.

It's Ben and Michaela
Stone who want to destroy it.

Anything?

What you see is what you get.
She believes everything she's saying.

Okay, we've got
to get something,

otherwise Jared's
gonna have a field day.

Who cares what Jared thinks?

We're trying to stop Adrian
from getting someone killed.

I know. It's just...

Sorry.

Look, I get it. He was
your partner, your fiancé.

Not being able to
explain this all to him?

That can't be easy.

Just what I need. A husband
who can read my mind.

It's just the government
doing what it always does

when people freak out.

- We're not the enemy. It's not fair.
- It's tyranny.

And they've been getting away
with it generation after generation.

Do you have any idea what they did to
my grandparents during World War Il?

You're the latest in a long line of
people who have been mistreated

because the world doesn't
understand who they are.

I didn't know who Michaela Stone
was. She scared the hell out of me.

But I can promise you, if
anyone's gonna save the world,

it's Michaela.

Everything she does is for
the passengers, not herself.

Does that sound like
Adrian and Eagan to you?

Or are they just trying
to get more power?

I'm on your side, Erika.

Where are these guys?

There's a warehouse
on Staten Island.

I knew something was wrong.
I could feel it all morning but...

What are you looking for?

His sketchbook or
anything we can use...

Thank God.

Where are the rest of the pages?

Sometimes he rips them
out after he draws them.

Here. This is it.

This is what?

- Some sort of puzzle.
- Of what? A map?

It looks like his picture of
the tailfin but from higher up.

Are the light parts land
or unfinished drawing?

Well, if these are islands, I
don't recognize any of them.

We have a boat. Security
personnel will get us there.

- How are we doing on destination?
- Working on it.

Last round of tests caused
three more earthquakes.

- Now, there are electrical storms.
- Dark lightning.

Okay, where do we focus?

Because these storms
are all over the place.

We gotta narrow it down.

What the hell is going on here?

- Director Zimmer.
- To what do we owe the pleasure?

Why are personnel being
diverted from the testing?

Just contingency planning.

Don't handle me, Bob. I
told you to stand down.

Whatever you have up
your sleeve here, it's over.

NYPD.

Looks like they left in a hurry.

Passenger contact list.

Explains how Eagan got
in touch with people so fast.

This is Ben's research.
Eagan must have stolen it.

Wonder if there's anything
else they left behind.

Maybe it could tell us
where they were headed.

Divide and conquer?

I'll take the back, you guys
see what more there is in here.

We're pursuing
an alternate theory

that Cal Stone's disappearance
is tied to seismic activity offshore.

And the tailfin needs to go
back in the ocean to stop it.

Are you out of your mind?
You want to destroy the artifact?

And this is what? A map?

- Yes.
- No, it's not.

Ma'am, this is a child's drawing

which Mr. Stone wants
to believe is a map

because he is
desperate to save his son.

He's done this before. Cal's
drawings, they're special.

Mr. Stone, I'm aware
of your son's abilities,

and I'm also a mother.

I want you to get your son back,

but it has to be Dr. Gupta's
research that makes it happen.

Director, I've been on
this project since day one,

and I would stake my career on the
fact there's a message in those drawings.

Then what exactly
is it a map of?

We're not sure yet. We're working
on it. My wife and daughter are too.

If you're wrong about this,
it's going to be bad for you.

If I'm wrong about this, it's
gonna be bad for all of us.

- There's something underneath.
- What?

Cal must have ran out of
paper. He used this page twice.

Look. It's some sort of symbol.

Yeah.

If I can just remove the top layer
but leave the pigment underneath,

I...

I might be able to restore
the original drawing.

What?

Last time we went through
this, you were so young.

I'll always be your
little girl, Mom.

Yeah, you will.

Now... Here, in the middle.

- You see? It's green.
- Yeah.

You're kidding me. A dragon?

Doesn't Cal have
a stuffed animal?

- A bird?
- Yeah.

Maybe it is.

I've seen enough.
Pack up your desk.

- I'm pulling the plug.
- No, you're not.

Excuse me?

According to Eureka directives,
only the Secretary of Defense

can relieve the project administrator
without sign-off from the CSO.

- I don't give it.
- Well, now I've heard everything.

You of all people
think this is a message

to Mr. Stone from his son?

No. It's a message to me.

This is Sanskrit
for "grandmother."

This isn't your son's dragon.

It's a constellation.

It's where I used to look, hoping
to see my grandmother in heaven.

Perhaps faith has a
seat at the table after all.

Has everyone here lost their
minds? You may as well both pack up.

When I get back to Washington,
I'm going to have you both fired.

You better get a move on. As of
now, you have no authority here.

I want you out of my facility.

Back to work.

Uh, right.

If the dots aren't islands but
stars, and the dragon goes here...

This time of year those stars
are on the eastern horizon.

If we...

if we draw a line from where
we are now to the constellation...

That leads us right into the
heart of an electrical storm.

Then that's where we're headed.

Guys, I got something.

Look. It's blueprints of a
house and street maps.

- Somewhere in Bronxville.
- These aren't Ben's.

Well, then someone knows how
to use the public records office.

This is an attack plan,
you guys, with a target.

Whose house is it?

2012 Elmwood Drive. The
Internet doesn't recognize it.

Our database will.

Hurry it up, people. This needs
to be on a boat within the hour.

Uh, be careful
out there. I, uh...

People care about you, um...

as a colleague.

Thank you. You're
a good friend, Troy.

Okay. This is gonna work.

It has to.

Hope you're not the seasick
types. Storm warning offshore.

It could be dangerous.

Captain is not at all
happy we're going out.

I should call Grace.

- Hello?
- How's that sore throat?

Fine. Mom made soup
before she went to work.

- Doing your homework?
- Yup.

Uh-huh. You do know I
interrogate people for a living, right?

Listen, I'm gonna be late,

so when Tyson gets home
from practice, you two order in.

Cool.

- Warren, I love you, son.
- I love you too.

Just stick to the plan.

There's a silent alarm

and the patrol response time
is no more than six minutes.

Let's see if we
can buy more time.

Where'd you learn that?
In door frame repair school?

Disarm enough IEDs, home
security's a piece of cake.

Wife's at work, kids are at school.
We've got the run of the place.

Hello, gorgeous.

Files all got to be encrypted.

What are you, new?
Of course it's encrypted.

I know a guy. Grab
anything not bolted down.

Files, notepads,
post-its, thumb drives.

Hey, Dad, you just said you
were gonna be home late.

- Don't shoot him.
- He's seen us.

Can't let him go.

- Hey, where's Mikami at?
- Called in a while ago.

Looking for info on an
address in Bronxville.

What's the address?

Thanks.

- You really don't mess around.
- Friends in high places. Captain.

Hey. We're headed out now.

Ben, wait. We know
Eagan and Adrian's target.

They're headed to Vance's house.

Vance. Vance. Is anyone
home at your house right now?

My son. Why?

He might be in danger. There
are some passengers after you.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

It's now or never.
Tide's heading out.

Go. You had my back in
Cuba. It's my turn to have yours.

Follow their orders.

Director, I was ordered to
take instruction only from you.

Well, now I'm saying
they're calling the shots.

Take them wherever they want.

Damn it.

Of course you can. Just walk
out the door and keep going.

You're gonna get us all killed.

Was that Eagan?

- What's going on?
- You need to get away from me.

- This is our fight, Adrian.
- Well, blood is gonna be shed.

I had a calling,
and this is my fault.

You're not safe with
me. You need to run.

No, no.

Okay. I have nowhere to go. I
mean, how am I supposed to survive?

Have you heard the good news?

I may not be able to
protect you, but God can.

"Behold, I am sending an angel
before you to guard you along the way."

I think she may have
already been sent.

What are you waiting for?

Go to her.

Go to her.

Mick, what the hell
are you thinking?

Are you really trying
to surveil the NSA?

Thank goodness you're
here. They have Vance's son.

Dispatch, we got a 10-10 in
progress. 2012 Elmwood. Two suspects.

At least one armed,
holding a teenage male.

- We're playing this by the book.
- Got a car coming in hot.

- What's going on?
- They have your son.

We're waiting for the
negotiator to arrive.

- No, we're not.
- Director, we have clear protocols.

My son is in there.

Protocol is designed
to protect the world

from hotheaded cops who
don't know what they're doing.

- Well, luckily, I'm not a cop.
- No, you don't.

Take this.

Let's go.

Right, five degrees.
Take us out.

Dark clouds.

Just like in my calling.

- You see them too?
- I'm not blind.

We got to head into the storm.

Aye-aye.

All hands. All hands.
Clear the deck.

Brace yourselves.

Hey, Eagan. It's your old pal.

- Lieutenant Vasquez.
- Damn it.

We should have
shot this kid and ran.

You want to die in prison?
No one's getting shot.

Just want to talk.

This is gonna be a whole lot
easier before SWAT gets here.

Eagan's having second
thoughts, he doesn't trust Randall.

- Of course you can do that.
- Hey, they're not on the same page.

You can probably play
them off one another.

We're about to find out.

Shut the door.

Take off your jacket.

You wanted to talk? Talk.

We talk in the room
with the hostage.

Mm-mm.

I'm happy to hang outside
and wait for the sharpshooters.

- What is this?
- It's just a conversation.

Warren, I just spoke with
your dad. He says to stay calm.

Okay? You all right?

Come one step
closer and he won't be.

Guys, what is this? What are
you looking to get out of this?

- Proof.
- Proof of what?

That the NSA is trying
to destroy 828ers.

Turning the police
against us, the media.

Don't look at me like I'm crazy.

Sometimes conspiracies
are more than just theories.

- Is this it?
- I think so.

Full stop. Prepare
to reverse course.

Wait. What's happening?
Why are we turning around?

New orders came in.

- Zimmer. It has to be.
- Captain, we're already here.

I'm not steering this boat
straight into an electrical storm.

For God's sake, stop.

We just need to drop the tailfin.
Captain, please, I'm begging you.

I don't take orders from you, I
take orders from the US government.

You've got to negotiate.

You gotta show them
you can be reasonable.

I want a live news feed,

and an admission on
camera that the 828 watchlist

is an unlawful witch hunt.

Eagan's on the edge.

Well, let's push him over. Turn
him into a momentary distraction.

Jared, are you ready?
Tell Randall this.

You gonna let this guy turn
you into a national pariah?

You really think this guy
gives a damn about you?

- No one asked your opinion, Vasquez.
- You heard what he said in jail.

You were there. This
guy wants to control you.

He wants to be the
leader of all the 828ers.

Who's in your ear?
Michaela? You tell that traitor...

Let him go.

- All clear here.
- Of course.

Director Vance covering
his ass all over again.

You have no idea what
he's gotten away with.

Look at me. Are you
hurt? Are you sure?

Come on.

Mr. Vasquez. Mr. Vasquez.

Wanna do a ride with me, please?

Kathryn Fitz is dead. Murdered.

One of our agents found
her body several months ago.

Okay, come on.

Take him outside.

I don't know how to repay you.

How about the
truth? Who's this guy?

- He's an old army buddy.
- I bet he'd do anything for you, right?

I need to check on my son.

Respectfully, Captain,
you don't understand.

Lives are at stake.

I damn well understand.

There's 14 lives on this boat I'm
responsible for, including yours.

But we're already
here. We made it.

Please, Captain. If we
don't drop that tailfin,

my son will die.

What does your son
have to do with any of this?

They weren't kidding. You
airplane people are just...

The hell'd she go?

Saanvi!

You're gonna
get yourself killed.

I'm the one who caused
this. I have to fix it.

Saanvi!

You okay?

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

Why was Saanvi at
the precinct that day?

- Jared...
- Okay, you know what? I'll tell you why.

She was there because
her and Vance were involved

in the murder of Sarah's
mom, weren't they?

Oh, my God.

The whole time I
was working the case,

and you just acted
as mystified as I was.

I was, Jared. I swear.

Until recently.

So, what? You quit so
can cover up a murder?

- It wasn't a murder.
- That's not your call.

- Jared, I didn't have a choice, okay?
- Of course you did, Mick.

Yeah, you're right. I did.

If it got out that Saanvi was
involved in the Major's death,

that would have been game
over for every single passenger.

So I did. I made a
choice to protect Saanvi.

And I am okay with that,
because when it comes down to it...

Enough.

I don't care.

Mick, I'm tired of these damn
callings. I don't care what they want.

I don't care what they said.

- This isn't about you.
- Yes, it is.

How do you not see that
this directly affects my life?

Now I have to go
end it with Sarah.

What are you talking about?

She finally got closure, Michaela.
What am I supposed to do?

Just stay with her
and not tell her?

Get married, have kids?

Just have my whole
life based on a lie?

I'm sorry.

You know, I was, um...

I was just starting to
finally get over you.

Please don't do this.

He was supposed
to be gone, Mick.

I'm sorry, but he was
supposed to be gone.

That's the only
reason I stood there

and watched him
marry the love of my life.

We should talk.

Adrian? Why am I back
here? I thought we stopped it.

What did you do?

I only show the path.

The path to what? Killing?

Your brother cannot be allowed
to destroy the passengers.

No. No, no, no. Eagan was
lying. Ben is trying to save us.

How can we be saved by a
man who cannot see for himself?

Your brother has lost his way,
but you've known that for some time.

You just didn't have
the strength to stop him.

It's no longer detectable, sir.

- The hell are you talking about?
- The tailfin.

One minute I had it on
sonar, and the next, it's gone.

As we swam back
up, I kept looking back.

I was convinced
Cal would reappear.

Maybe he will.

Faith.

I'm trying.

But I don't understand.

Ben. Ben. Am I here?

- You are.
- But I stopped getting the callings.

- Does this mean that I'm...
- Redeemed?

It just might.

Cal.

Cal. It's okay.
It's okay. I'm here.

We did what you said.
The tailfin, it's gone.

- Then there's still a chance.
- Yeah.

It's not over.

Mick?

I thought I'd stopped
the killing, but...

Look at me. Look at me, Cal.

Where are you?

- I have to go.
- No. No. Go where?

Cal, please. Whatever you're
afraid of, how do we stop it?

How do we stop it, my boy?

This is the way it has to be.

Dismissed my heart

Never gave it much choice

Surrendered my soul
to the mission ahead

And I burnt that bridge

Ben!

I need my guardian angel.

No!

Mom?

Mom? Mom? Mom?

For I know the plans I have
for you, declared the Lord...

plans to prosper you
and not to harm you...

plans to give you
hope and a future.

- We're connected.
- Oh, my God.

Mom. Mom. Mom.

We need to go home.

Cal.

Cal!

Cal!

Cal?

My sweet, sweet boy.

Take care of each other.

I love you, Mom.

It's okay.

I know what we need to do now.

Help me!
