Manifest (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Destination Unknown - full transcript

As Mick and Ben join forces to aid a desperate Flight 828 passenger, Saanvi grapples with a discovery at Eureka, and the burden of secrecy that comes with it. Grace and Angelina's bond deepens. A maturing Cal enlists Zeke's help i...

[Zeke] Previously on Manifest...

The Meth Heads share
a unique DNA marker,

just like how we share
our own distinct marker.

Possibly explains why
the death of one of them

lead to the death
of all of them.

What would you say to
reopening the family restaurant?

All I do is bring bad things
to the people around me.

That's not true.

Your mom is in the other room,
packing up her dead brother's clothes.

Things are so much bigger now.

We're all in the same Lifeboat,



and we have been ever since
we were brought back to life.

I have found sapphire on
every subject that returned.

All my cards are on the
table. Now, it's your turn.

Your cards are on the table
only because I found them myself.

I let you in here, didn't I?
After you lied your way in.

I was protecting myself.
Like you taught me.

It's not every day
that I meet someone

who makes me feel as seen and
heard, the way you make me feel.

You can't go now. You're family.

You found sapphire
on something else.

Is it another
piece of the plane?

[Dr. Gupta]
Something much older.

We have work to do.

[Michaela] Why were
you at Eureka, Ben?



I was getting my baselines
measured to go into testing tomorrow.

I'm their guinea pig
to poke and prod.

[machine whirs]

[Dr. Gupta] We identified
curious genetic markers

in both you and the control
group of deceased returnees.

If you're referring to
the DNA anomalies,

Saanvi broke that
story a long time ago.

There is more.

It's a unique combination
of iron, titanium,

and multiple other
components, but together,

they crystallize
to form sapphire.

Is that what was on my hand?

Like a... a fingerprint of
what happened to me?

Or what caused it.
What caused everything.

Wait.

Are you saying sapphire triggered
our disappearance and return?

These are hypotheses
far from being proven.

We still have a lot more
tests and diagnostics to run

before we can be certain
or even begin to hypothesize

with any degree of
chemical rigor. [voice fades]

[gasps]

[Saanvi] Bursting into flames?

- How many?
- Fifteen, maybe.

I'm worried it may have to do with
the dark cloud hovering over Eureka.

A bunch of 828ers saw it, too.

Ben? We've received a
shipment, from the Vatican.

What did they send?

It's a fossilized
piece of driftwood.

I'm not sure what it is, but
it made Dr. Gupta smile,

which I didn't think was
scientifically possible.

- Take me to it.
- It's under lock and key.

And they're insisting
that you have to go,

and I doubt that they're
going to let you back in here,

now that they have all
the testing they needed.

Besides, I'm... I'm still trying
to prove that I belong here.

I know.

All right.

Just find out everything
you can about this driftwood,

and I'll figure out what's
going on with these passengers.

I'm on it.

Cal, we still hitting
the school book fair?

[Cal] Yeah, just one more sec.

- Hey! What's taking you guys so long?
- [Cal] Found it.

I knew it was here.

Okay. We can go now.

Okay bud, can we get going?

I seem to remember you telling me
that the organizers of the book fairs...

Ahh!

Hey, hey, what happened?

I just felt like the
card burnt my hand.

I've never experienced
a calling like that before.

Feels normal to me.

[sighs] Sorry, Cal. I think I'm gonna
have to rain check on the book fair.

Whatever the calling
was saying, it felt urgent.

That's fine, as long
as Zeke can still come.

Oh, I don't know, bud.

I should probably help Mick
with the calling, don't you think?

Yeah, I guess.

Uh, tell you what. How about
you guys go to the book fair,

and then if I do need
backup, I will call you?

Okay.

Let's go.

Let me know.

[knock at door]

Hey.

How you holding up?

Yeah.

Me, too. [chuckles]

But me and Eden are gonna head out.
Are you gonna be okay here by yourself?

Olive's on her way back
from her senior retreat, right?

Not till tomorrow.

I know it's, um...

I know, it's hard...

but I don't think Pete
would want you to stop living.

Well, I'm gonna
take my own advice.

Eden and I are going to
look at the restaurant location.

You're opening a restaurant?

A nice little café.

Using our dad's recipes.

I think it'd be a nice way to
honor my brother's memory.

You know who I think would
really love it if you came?

Eden.

Uh...

I would. I just... I don't have
anything nice enough to wear.

Just borrow
something of Olive's.

[door opens]

You got a calling, too?
Passengers bursting into flames?

Not exactly. [sighs]

It's the World card
from Al-Zuras' tarot deck.

I saw about 15 passengers' photos
burst into flames at Vance's office.

Morgan, Butler, Hall, Villa.

Couple more towards
the back of the plane.

Another woman up
front. I don't know.

It happened so fast, it was
impossible to memorize it all.

You think our
callings are related?

They might be.

How? How are passengers
connected to a volcano?

Based on what I saw this morning,
I think this is all about our Lifeboat.

Which passenger
is endangering it?

[Michaela sighs]

What if it's not about the images?
What if it's about the numbers?

Roman numerals twenty-one.

The rows on the plane.

Twenty one, Lorraine
Talebi, Rebecca Viega,

Adrian Shannon... None of these.

No.

Rachel Hall, 21E. That's it.

I saw her photo burst into
flames in Vance's office.

Question is, how is she
endangering the Lifeboat?

I guess these are the kind of homes
you get when you're in real estate.

No volcanos in sight.

According to my file, Rachel
and her husband Jonas

bought this house
after they got married,

a couple of years
before we disappeared.

But he wasn't on the plane.

[doorbell chimes]

Hi. I'm Michaela Stone.
This is my brother Ben.

Uh, we're looking
for Rachel Hall.

Rachel doesn't
live here anymore.

I'm Hannah Hall.

- This is my husband, Jonas.
- Can we help you?

Yeah. Do you know how we
can get in touch with your ex-wife,

or perhaps, her family?

I'm her only family.

I'm her sister.

It may not look like
much to the naked eye,

but this piece of wood
potentially reframes 828

as no longer a mere
bewildering one-off,

but as the next crucial piece

in a metaphysical puzzle
stemming back millennia.

Indeed, it may just be the key

to unlocking not only
why miracles happen,

but how.

Dr. Gupta and I are
counting on each of you

working with your
respective teams

to run full diagnostics.

We need to understand what
we have here inside and out.

Can we get an iota of context?

All you need to know is, it's the
only recovered specimen on the planet

coated with the particular sapphire
compound Dr. Bahl identified.

One last thing. I've instituted a
change in our reporting structure.

All department heads will now
relay their findings to Dr. Bahl,

who will in turn
present them to me.

Excuse me, but why are
we reporting to Dr. Bahl?

You're, without a doubt,

the best and brightest scientific
minds ever assembled under one roof.

And yet, for all your
collective knowledge,

not one of you were able to
make the discovery she made.

In other words, she's the
reason you still have jobs.

Any questions?

Very well. You're dismissed.

When 828 went missing, I
didn't know what to do with myself.

How do you grieve when you
don't even know what happened?

[Ben] Mm.

Must've been excruciating.
I know it was for my family.

Yeah. Hannah was the only one
who understood, and felt the same pain.

[Hannah] Rachel was
all the family I had left.

When she disappeared...

it was only me...

and Jonas.

So, we started spending
more time together.

One thing led to another.

Michaela and I were
both in Rachel's shoes.

It couldn't have
been easy for her to...

come back to this.

She was very upset.

But Rachel and I had
been having problems and...

the truth is, it was
never meant to be.

I know that now.
Hannah is really the one.

But... Rachel, of course,
felt I had betrayed her.

She was furious.

[Jonas] At first, we
tried helping her.

We offered to give
her money to start over,

found her a place
to stay, a job...

[Hannah] But the one
thing that she wanted, we...

we couldn't give her.

We couldn't pretend that those five
and a half years had never existed.

I'm guessing you guys
don't stay in touch with her.

Do you know where she is?

A few months ago,
she began acting erratic.

Harassing us at all hours.

And it got so bad,
we had to get a, uh...

a restraining order.

We... we didn't want to...

truly, but...

but she gave us no choice.

[Ben] All right, Rachel
Hall's date of birth is...

August 8th, 1985.

[keyboard clacking]

[chuckles] Hey.
This is a surprise.

Yeah. I noticed
you left your wallet

in your pocket, thought
you might need it.

That's really sweet
of you. Thanks. Uh...

Maybe next time,
just shoot me a text.

Uh, I didn't want to bother you,

in case you were helping some
other obsessed girl find her mom.

Huh.

All right. I have it
now. Thank you.

Sorry if I interrupted.

No.

Didn't realize Jared
was dating again.

Maybe it is work related.

That's the Major's daughter.

I thought that case was closed.

Why is she bringing his jacket?

Okay, Inspector Gadget.
Maybe they are dating.

But he's a grown
man, and he's single.

Out of all the women in New
York, he has to choose this one?

I should have left you outside.
Oh, my gosh. [clears throat]

Hey. Okay. So, I found Rachel.

Except she is now Rachel Evans.

She went back to
her maiden name.

Sounds like your dad and Mick
are making progress on their calling.

- So, does that mean you can stay?
- Mm-hm.

Hey, Cal. Thanks
for coming early.

Can I see what
books you brought?

Yeah, uh, not much. I just
grabbed whatever was lying around.

[Stella] A Wrinkle in Time.

That's my all-time favorite.

Is it? Cool.

Hey, I'm Zeke, bearer of books.

- And you must be...
- Stella. Hi.

Where should I
put these, Stella?

Here. I'll take them.

Thanks, Cal.

I've never seen one
with this cover before.

I might have to
buy it for myself.

Whatever you're
selling, I'm not interested.

Rachel, I'm Ben,
this is Michaela.

- We were with you on Flight 828.
- We were hoping that we could talk.

Sorry, don't have time.

Rachel, do you see things?

Visions?

Because I saw a
vision of you, and I...

I thought you might
need some help.

Do you mind if we come in?

[sighs] Yeah, sure.

[Rachel] Thought I was going
crazy on top of everything else.

I know the feeling. Must've
been very challenging.

You think?

My sister marries my husband
and moves into my home,

while I'm on a plane, and I'm
the one who's in the wrong?

What were you doing in Jamaica?

Jonas and I... needed to reset.

So, we decided to get away.

Got more than we bargained for.

You traveled together?

Yeah, but I'd been in a car
accident a few weeks before,

and all that sunshine
triggered horrible migraines,

so, I decided to
head home early.

By yourself?

The hotel wouldn't
refund the rest of the week.

And Jonas didn't want
to waste the money.

So, he stayed.

Instead of three extra nights
without me, he got 2,000.

The vision I saw...

Maybe the calling wants you
to try to accept what happened

and reconcile with your
sister before it's too late.

Look, we know that Jonas and
Hannah filed a restraining order.

It... it's not what you think.

I know now, I'll never be
able to break them apart.

I've moved on.

Look, if you really want to help me,
you can let me get to work on time.

I can't afford to lose this job.

[Michaela] Thank you.

Uh, Dr. Bustamante,
do you mind if I ask you

just a quick question
about your methods?

Oh, you'll have my full
report in a few hours, Doctor.

In plain English, since
radiology isn't your field.

Actually, I read your latest paper
on mass spectrometry acceleration.

Your writing's not that
hard to understand.

Any progress with
our piece of driftwood?

Looks like we're
about to find out.

What can you tell
us of its provenance?

It had been
buried for millennia,

until seismic activity brought it
to the surface seven years ago.

An archaeology expedition retrieved
it when they recognized its antiquity.

- [Saanvi] Where exactly was it?
- [Dr. Gupta] Just south of Armenia.

It may have
originated elsewhere...

- [beeping]
- but the Vatican was never able to...

So. wait, there is
something else here.

Trace elements of biological
material fused between the shards.

Any idea what that could be?

No.

I'd like to extract a sample,
run a DNA test in my lab.

Whatever this is could help
us figure out what the wood is.

Take the day. Report your
findings directly back to me.

Why would the calling
warn us about Rachel?

- She has moved on.
- Maybe she hasn't.

The restraining order must
have had some grounds to it.

So, what, she's trying to
convince herself that she's okay,

but the calling actually
wants us to help her heal?

It would explain why you and
I of all people got this calling.

We've had to do our
fair share of healing.

I find it odd that Jonas didn't mention
that they went to Jamaica together.

And then Rachel returned by
herself when she wasn't feeling well.

Why do I get the impression
that everyone we've talked to

is either lying to
themselves, or to us?

[scoffs]

You are looking at a little over
2,000 square feet of prime real estate

in one of the most sought
after neighborhoods in the city.

Please tell me this
comes with the place.

[chuckles] I'm sure
that could be arranged.

My brother idolized Prince.

He even had his own band.

Lucky for you two to have
such a thoughtful mom.

I'm not her daughter.

But...

she is family.

Oh, how about I
show you the kitchen?

Yeah, great.

[Eden crying]

Somebody decided to
be a little fussy today.

- Let me try.
- [Grace] Yeah?

Okay.

- It's okay.
- [crying stops]

[Grace chuckles] Wow.

You guys can go ahead.
I'll stay here with her.

Okay, thank you

[trills]

Looks like you
were right. Check it.

The biological material we
extracted, looks like it was a bird.

An extinct member of
the Phasianidae family.

It's not just any
bird, it's a peacock.

And either the sequencer
needs recalibrating,

or both the peacock and
the wood DNA samples

are roughly 6,000 years old.

No, that can't be right.

How is it possible that this peacock
has the exact same DNA anomaly

as every 828 passenger?

As the Meth Heads, as Zeke?

Do you think that
6,000 years ago,

this peacock disappeared and
returned just like your plane?

We haven't found this genetic
anomaly anywhere else in the world.

Maybe it's no accident seismic
activity coughed up this driftwood.

Maybe we were
actually meant to find it.

Hey, you find the,
uh, accident records?

Uh, Diaz is printing up a copy.

Oh.

I saw Sarah stop by earlier. I
thought the Fitz case was closed.

It is.

Is that bugging you?

I'm happy if you're happy.

Why do I feel like
there's a "but" coming?

Okay, the Major's daughter,
really? Of all people?

Look, I know it's a bit weird, but
Sarah, she's nothing like her mom.

She's a good person,
Mick. She's sweet, sensitive.

I guess I'm just
protective of you, so...

Hey, sorry it took so long.

Copy machine tried
to eat the damn thing.

Thanks.

Pretty brutal collision.

Rachel was taken to
the ER with a concussion

and a couple broken ribs.

[Michaela] "March 12, 2013."

That was less than a month
before 828 disappeared.

No wonder she wasn't
feeling good in Jamaica.

You haven't heard the worst yet.

The other driving the
collision? Jonas Hall.

Rachel's husband.

Okay. Uh, yeah, I'm no expert,

but it looks like this
car t-boned the SUV.

And Rachel was in the SUV.

He crashed into her on purpose.

Um, okay, what happened
to that restraining order?

There was only one
violation two weeks ago.

- Neighbor called it in.
- Why? Was no one home?

Hannah was.

But I guess she refused to press
charges when Rachel agreed to leave.

So, Hannah takes
out a restraining order,

but then refuses to enforce it?

None of it adds up.

Um, does that
neighbor have a name?

- Ron Williams.
- Thank you.

So, you really think
your friend can explain

how a piece of driftwood
surfaced after 6,000 years?

If anyone can, it's him.
Full disclosure, nerd alert.

Hey, Patrick, you have a sec?

Uh, Dr. Bahl. Um...

I thought I had a few more hours
before I had to send you my report.

Not here for that, big guy.

Saanvi, meet my gaming
buddy, Dr. Patrick Cooper.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Let's talk earthquakes.

What can you tell us about the one
that unearthed a piece of driftwood

we got from the Vatican?

The region where the driftwood was
found has an abundance of fault lines.

Odds are a series
of quakes moved it

inch by inch up to
the surface over time.

Not unlike the seismic activity
that unearthed 828's tailfin.

Wait, you're saying an
earthquake is what brought the tailfin

- up from the ocean floor?
- It's just a theory.

And yet, the quake
in question is a ghost.

Wait, what?

Take a look at this.
People claim to have felt it.

But there's no dip separation,
there's no shearing, nothing.

If these tectonic plates could talk,
they'd say that quake never happened.

But it took something
to shake the tailfin

off the bottom of
the ocean floor.

Just like how it took something
to make the driftwood surface.

That's what I said.

But if they don't see
it, no one believes it.

Captain Daly, the 828 pilot, said
that dark lightning hit the plane

and nobody believed him.

Dark lightning's a burst of
gamma radiation. Invisible.

A seismic ghost.

Sorry, weather's
not my department.

You want to talk about
a dormant volcano

coughing up an ancient
piece of driftwood,

- I'm your guy.
- Did you just say a dormant volcano?

Yeah.

Where the driftwood
was found, why?

[Michaela] Hi there.

- Can I help you?
- Yeah, we're looking for Ron Williams.

Uh, Mr. Williams isn't home.

We just wanted to
ask him a few questions

about an incident
from a few weeks ago.

- He called the police.
- Yeah. Next door.

- Sad situation.
- Were you here that day?

I work here every day,

and there's always
drama going on over there.

- With Mr. Hall's ex-wife?
- Nah.

She doesn't come
around that much.

But the current wife...

I don't know why she
stays with that guy.

She seems like a nice lady, too.

- Uh, what do you mean?
- He's out every night.

And when he's home?
Shouting, throwing things...

He's abusing her?

Mr. Williams apparently
doesn't hear any of that.

Ah.

Maybe it's 'cause he
plays golf with Mr. Hall.

But when the ex-wife
comes to help her sister,

all of a sudden, it's a 911...

I'm sorry, hold on.
Rachel comes to help?

I still have a pile of laundry
to fold, if you don't mind.

It paints a different picture.

I wonder if that's
what Rachel meant

when she said, "It's
not what you think."

Rachel left Jamaica
to get away from Jonas.

And came back and found
him married to her sister.

So, maybe Rachel's calling
and ours wasn't about closure,

it was about protecting Hannah.

We're protecting all
of us. Our Lifeboat.

You said the driftwood
was found south of Armenia.

Just... how far
south are we talking?

Uh, 30, maybe 40 kilometers.

Okay, that would put us in Turkey.
In eastern Turkey, to be exact.

That's correct.

You never said anything about
it being near a dormant volcano

and there's only one dormant
volcano in that region, Mount Ararat.

And what does that mean to you?

Seismic event on the
day of our disappearance

yielded a 6,000 year-old
piece of extinct Cyprus,

most likely a vessel transporting
animals, laden with sapphire,

found near Mount Ararat.

Which is historically
known for one thing.

Go on, Saanvi, you can say it.

Mount Ararat's believed to
be the final resting place of...

Noah's Ark.

Your friend Stella
runs quite the operation.

You ended up buying more
books than we donated.

Speaking of Stella,

did you... pick up
anything from her earlier?

Pick up anything? No.

Why? Should I have?

[grunts]

Oh.

Gotcha. She's special, huh?

Kind of.

So, that's why you had
to find her favorite book.

And why you were...

Wait.

Cal, were you hoping I
would feel her emotions?

Is that why you wanted
me to take you to the fair?

Maybe.

All right. Buddy, we gotta talk.

Look, man, I... I get it.

It's not like these powers of
ours came with a rule book.

But using your callings or my
empathy thing for personal gain,

puts us on some
really shaky ground.

These are gifts.

And it's wrong to abuse
them. You know what I mean?

Yeah, sorry.

I won't do it again.

Look at this way, maybe I
didn't sense anything from Stella

because you're supposed
to figure it out on your own.

No one really knows what goes
on in people's homes, do they?

[Michaela] Abusers count on it.

Do you really think that bastard went
from abusing one sister to the other?

I mean, it would explain the
urgency in the callings, and...

[sighs]...inconsistencies in
the stories we've been told.

Why would Hannah put on
that whole Stepford wife front?

And why didn't Rachel
say anything, either?

- [car unlocks]
- Now's our chance.

- [car door opens]
- Hey, if what we suspect is true,

it's probably better if I
talked to Hannah on my own.

- On police business.
- You sure?

Yeah. Look, you've done enough,
I'll just... I'll grab a taxi home.

You go.

I don't know, Mick. The
calling wanted us both here.

And she's more likely
to open up to a woman.

All right, go. Call me, let
me know what happens.

[gasping]

[engine starts]

So, I'm not just
imagining things.

The driftwood really is a
surviving piece of Noah's Ark.

Perhaps all the data seemed
to point us in that direction.

And... what if it is?

What if the vessel experienced
the exact same phenomenon

- as Flight 828?
- [Dr. Gupta] What if, indeed.

I have exhausted all
means at my disposal,

trying to explain the disappearance
and return of Flight 828 scientifically.

But now...

Now we may hold
evidence of a direct link

between the divine
and the physical world.

If we can find a way to reverse engineer
that link to deconstruct the miracle...

You'll be able to
create a miracle.

When the world finds out

that Noah's Ark is real,
when the passengers realize

that this may be a precedent
for what happened to us...

[Vance] No one can know, Saanvi.

Flight 828 maybe the most
important event in human history.

We have to understand it first
if we're going to deconstruct

and harness the power behind it.

But the passengers,
this happened to them.

And they deserve to know.

And without Ben's test results,
we wouldn't even be this far along...

You have to stop thinking of
yourself as a private citizen,

you are now a
government operative

with top secret security
clearance working on this country's

most highly classified secrets.

We can't risk this falling
into the wrong hands.

But Ben can help us
understand the connection

between 828 and the Ark.

I mean, we could trust him.

It doesn't matter who
we think we can trust.

From now on, your
loyalty is to this facility

and nothing or no one else.

You're either in or your
out. Which will it be?

I need to hear you say it.

I'm in.

Good.

Welcome to the big leagues.

[car locks]

[rattles]

You know, it's just
me and you right now.

I'm a detective with
the NYPD. I can help.

Rachel wants to help, too.

Mm, but you knew that.

Which is why you didn't let
the cops arrest her, isn't it?

Growing up in her
shadow, I was, uh...

I was always the disappointment.

Never as pretty, never as smart.

Everything always came so easy
to Rachel. Her charm, her wit...

She always won... at everything.

It must have been tough then,

for her to come back and realize
that everything was taken away.

I didn't take anything from her,

but she just couldn't
accept that I was happy.

For once in our
lives, I had won.

So, are you happy then, Hannah?

Really?

Or are you trying
to prove something?

- Rachel. [pants]
- [safety clicks]

What are you doing here?

- Did Jonas send you?
- No. No, no. I'm on your side.

I know you're just trying
to protect your sister.

Stop talking, or I'll shoot you.

All right.

You never wanted Jonas back.

You just wanted Hannah
to get away from him, but...

She wouldn't listen.

No one did.

But you knew.

Rachel, you knew because
you have been trying

to get away from Jonas'
abuse... for a long time.

The accident, Flight 828.

You wanted to escape.

He wouldn't let me.

And it's the same for Hannah.

He has such a grip on her.

Just put the gun down. Let's
talk about how we can help.

There's no other way.

[door opens]

- What the hell?
- It's over.

You're never gonna
hurt her again.

- [safety clicks]
- Rachel, no!

Jonas was the best thing
that had ever happened to me.

[chuckles]

For once in my life, I...

I felt special.

The way he looked at me...

how he noticed even
the smallest detail.

A new shirt, new earrings...

I thought it was sweet

how he'd be jealous if
a co-worker texted me.

Yeah, he made you
the center of his world...

but that came at
a cost, didn't it?

One night, a friend
had a breakup,

and a bunch of us
took her out for a drink,

and Jonas followed us.

When I got home, he lost it.

Slapped me across my face.

Called me a slut.

You must think I'm so stupid.

No.

No, I don't.

[Hannah gasps]

Look, I know you think there's
no way out of this, but there is.

Listen to him, Rach. I
never wanted to hurt you.

You know I loved you.

Put down the gun and
we can all walk away.

- Pretend like this never...
- Shut up!

That's always your solution,
huh? Pretend nothing happened.

No one believed me!

Hannah, the neighbors...

You convinced everyone I
was crazy. You left me no choice.

I believe you.

My sister believes you.

She's talking to
Hannah right now.

We can protect her. We
can protect both of you.

He's never gonna stop.

Please! I'll change!

I'm done with your promises.

Rachel, no!

You don't wanna spend
the rest of your life in jail.

Not because of him.

He's taken enough from you.

Come on.

[gasps]

Police! Don't move! Hands
where I can see them.

Drop your weapon!

Breaking and entering,
possession of an unlicensed firearm.

Sorry, how did my
buttoned-up brother

rack up a rap sheet like
that in a couple of hours?

I prevented a murder. One that
would have sunk our Lifeboat.

So, why don't you thank
me and let me go home?

Oh, yeah. Like you should
have done when I told you to?

You know what? Next time,
why don't you just call me

before you break
into a building?

Jonas would be dead, and
Rachel would be on her way

to a life sentence, if
I hadn't stopped her.

Yeah, maybe, Ben, but
what if you'd gotten hurt?

Or better yet, what
if you had died?

No. Seriously, what would I
have told Grace or your children?

What was I supposed to
do, Mick? Ignore the calling?

Sit still while another passenger
ruined our chances at survival?

Who put you in charge of
protecting the entire Lifeboat?

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

It tasked me with
keeping everyone safe.

So, what? You're just
an 828 vigilante now?

No. No, but we
have to take action.

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

Take action, Ben?
Stop. Listen to yourself.

How do you know you're not
the one sinking the Lifeboat,

making sure no one else does?

I never said this
was going to be easy.

No, it's impossible!

There are 200 of us, and the
ones that went up in flames,

you don't even remember
who most of them are.

That was the point, Mick.

Every day, there are
countless passengers out there,

ready to do something to
ruin everyone's chances.

Did you think I was just gonna
cross my arms and do nothing?

No. Um, no, I know you far too well
to know that that would never happen.

But, Ben... I don't
want to lose you.

[door opens]

Mick, Hannah's
asking to speak to you.

[Michaela] Go home.

[door closes]

[Hannah] Thank you for pulling
some strings to get me back here.

No problem. I'm a sister, too.

We have enough
evidence to make sure

Jonas pays for what
he did to both of you.

And what will happen to Rachel?

She was just
trying to protect me.

She'll have to face charges.

I don't care, as
long as you're safe.

Given the circumstance, though, I
think the judge will be sympathetic.

Especially if you were
to testify on her behalf?

Of course. She only
did this to save me.

Justice finds a way in the end.

Well, this is a surprise.

See, now that I have my
wallet, I figure I'd use it to, uh...

try to buy some forgiveness.

Nothing to be forgiven.

- I'm sorry I showed up unannounced.
- [chuckles]

You made my co-workers' day.

And they were burning
me nonstop about us dating.

Dating, huh?

I guess that depends
if you like tulips.

Hey.

- Hey.
- [door closes]

- You're just in time.
- Smells like it.

I thought you needed something
special after the day you had.

It actually turned out okay.

I'm just mad I missed
Cal's book fair. How'd it go?

Fine.

I ended up getting strong-armed
into buying way too many books

by the object of
Cal's affections.

But other than that, all good.

I'm sorry, wait.
Cal has a crush?

Oh, my gosh. Now, I'm
really mad I missed it.

Oh, love is in the air.

What do you mean?

Uh, Jared is dating Sarah.

Sarah? The Major's
daughter, Sarah?

- Yeah.
- Isn't that a little odd?

Uh, yeah, I thought so, too.

But you know what? He seems
happy, so I'm happy for him.

He deserves it.

This looks really good.

You didn't need to do all this.

You okay?

Hell, no. Our
food's getting cold.

Let's eat.

[cell phone vibrating]

[sighs]

Don't look so bummed out.

- You did a good thing today.
- Mm.

Tell that to Mick.

I think she's disappointed they
didn't press charges against me.

Well... I don't
disagree with her.

You could have
been more careful.

But one way or another,
we got to protect this Lifeboat.

For Cal.

For Eden.

For Olive.

For all of us.

Angelina's like family.

[Cal] Hey, Ol. I
need some advice.

Sorry. Just me.

- Olive's not back yet.
- Uh, okay.

I do happen to give really great
advice, though, if you need it. I mean...

All right.

There's this girl at school,
and her birthday's coming up,

and I just don't
know what to get her.

You should give her something
of yours. Something special.

I've seen your drawings. Maybe
you could draw her a picture?

Yeah, thanks.

Uh, no thanks necessary.

But I do know a way
you could return the favor.

Don't tell Olive about the
dress. It'll just be our little secret?

Okay.
