Previously on Manifest...

- I just kept repeating it over and over.
- Find her.

You were right.
We're connected by the Callings.

I'm gonna help you follow God's mission.

We are to detain every passenger
till further notice.

No. I'm all he's got!

Child protective services
will take care of him.

Daddy!

- I'll be back, okay?
- Daddy!

I'm the captain. I did what I had to do.

I'm not ready to die, Bill.



Who said anything about dying?
I'll see you in 2024.

Can I share?

For me? Thank you.

Cheers.

What's wrong with your hand?

Mmm.

There's nothing wrong with it.
In fact, it's very right.

It shows I've been chosen by God.

Like you're special?

Mm-hmm.

If you're so special, why are you here?

'Cause I'm waiting for him
to send me a sign.

And yesterday, for the first time
in a long time, he did.

He made my hand glow.



God needs me again.

Needs you for what?

To prepare for the day of judgment.
Final trial by fire.

Is there anyone else like you?

Yeah. Actually, there is one other person.

All these months later,
it suddenly started glowing again.

Hand me a wrench, will you?

Mystical dragon scar.

That's incredible.

The sink should be good.

And that is how you fix a small drip.

Got it. Easy enough.

Hey, can I... Can I make you breakfast?

Olive's spending the day volunteering
at Eden's school, so I got time.

Oh, Cal, I... I wish I could stay
and keep you company,

but I gotta go to work.

My 22-year-old boss, who goes by "Pooter,"

is considering putting me in charge
of the frozen food section.

I hate that you had to go back to work
to help support us.

And I hate that I can't work at all.

I wanna help out.

- I wanna go out...
- Cal.

You are unique,

even among 828ers.

You have to be careful.

I cannot lose another family member
to that godforsaken place.

Saved by the glow.

Zeke, I hate it here.

Can't I just come stay with you instead?

You'd just try to redecorate the place.

And I like
the blinding, bright-white aesthetic.

To say nothing of the infinite knowledge
of past and future part either.

I wish I could tell you
everything that's gonna happen, Mick.

- Tell me.
- I can't.

If I tell you about the future,
it'll change your decisions.

I can't risk messing with your free will.

We can talk about the past.

That's safe, right?

Sure.

How far back do you wanna go?

That moment we met in the cabin?

Or earlier?

What do you mean "earlier"?

Remember how Angelina and Pete were
in the same photo as kids?

Yeah.

There were so many moments in our lives
when you and I almost met and had no idea.

Like when?

Rockefeller ice rink, 2007.
You almost slammed right into me,

but at the last second,
you caught yourself. Sped right on by.

- You're kidding.
- No.

The day you bought your first box
of purple hair dye.

- I was one aisle over, buying toothpaste.
- That's crazy.

You know what's really crazy?

I was at JFK the night 828
was supposed to return, driving my cab.

How do you not remember that?

I was doing airport pickups
pretty much every day.

I mean,
by the time 828 was in the headlines,

I couldn't remember
exactly where I'd been.

But from here,

I see it all.

All the "almosts" we had.

We both heard your voice saying...

Find her.

- You did. You found me.
- We finally got it right.

God, I love you.

You have no idea how hard it is
not to touch you. Not to just...

wrap my arms around you and just feel you.

I wish I could kiss you.

Just...

Zeke.

Mick, this doesn't exactly
seem fair to you.

As painful as it is to say,
maybe it's best for you...

No, Zeke, please.

Turn around, please.

Ow!

What the heck was that?

Sorry, they said to just...
You're supposed to come with me.

Our systems indicate you had a Calling
this morning at 8:14 a.m.

We need every detail.

How about this?

How about I tell you
all about my stupid Calling

after you help me track down my child?

You remember him? Charlie?

He's been in foster care
since you locked me up in here.

I haven't seen him in months.

Look, I get that you're frustrated.

Oh, you think you get it.

You have kids?

Not yet. Someday.

So, no, you don't get it.

I lie awake every night,
wondering where he is.

If he falls asleep
without some kind of light,

he has nightmares.

And he... he'll never admit it, but, uh...

the only way he finds comfort
is in my arms.

And I tell him, "It's okay, Charlie.
Sometimes, we're all afraid of the dark."

I don't know
if he has a night-light anymore.

Look, we'll do what we can
to track him down, okay?

How about this, Mr. Butler?

If we solve your Calling,

then Lieutenant Vasquez will be authorized
to make some calls on your behalf.

If you solve my Calling?

The team's gonna solve this one.

Mick, did you have a Calling?
What's going on?

No. I have no idea.

Mr. Butler?

The Calling.

I saw a commercial work order.

Some sort of city-authorized maintenance.

Before all this,
I used to be a contractor, a good one.

- Saw these documents all the time.
- What was it for?

I don't know. Something had spilled on it.

Ink, maybe?

It was dimly lit, all eerie and shit.

But I managed to make out a few numbers.

Did you hear or feel anything by chance?

The music.

Violins?

Like, classical.

That's all I remember.

Please solve this.

I need to find my boy.

Sorry, why am I here?

Director Zimmer has agreed...

On a trial basis...

...to pair you with Vasquez
to help solve this latest Calling.

Sorry, why... why me?
What happened to Drea or Wicks?

They've already been dispatched,
and they aren't passengers.

Okay, what about Ben? We could both...

Ben will be released from solitary,

but you are the only passenger
with a law enforcement background.

So you're just gonna
let me walk out the door...

You chipped me, didn't you?

- That's barbaric. You can't.
- Seriously?

An insurance policy.

If you aren't back in this room
by 5:00 p.m., Calling solved or not,

you'll never see
the other side of that wall again.

Fine.

I cannot tell you
how long I've been fighting

to get a passenger on the Callings Unit,

and we need a win, so do not let me down.

Dim lights, violins, spilled ink,
and a jumble of numbers.

Okay, well, we've done more with less.

It was a city work order, right?

We know that, which means
I may have a possible shortcut.

All right. Time's up.

Ben, you gotta be more careful.

Ben, what are you doing?

Ben?

Hey.

Ten fingers. Ten toes.

Thirty-two weeks.

Hmm.

I don't know how much longer
I can hide it. Just...

- Just not yet.
- No, I get it.

It's not normal in here.

But, um, hey, we've been able
to hide it this long.

What's the Registry gonna do with me
when they find out that I'm pregnant?

Or worse, what are they gonna do
with my baby?

No, I understand you're scared.

And I don't have all the answers for you,
but I can promise you one thing.

You're not gonna have to go at it alone.

And I am not gonna tell anybody
till you're ready.

Excuse me. I'm with a patient!

Come with me now. It's Ben.

Okay. Just stay in here
as long as you need. Okay?

I tried to pull him out of it,
but it's like he's in a trance.

I've never seen a Calling
like this before.

It says, "Wake him up." Is there anything
you can give him to snap him out of it?

I don't think we're supposed to stop him.
I think he's supposed to finish this.

You think he'll finish in two minutes?

I need to monitor the Callings Unit.

Zimmer's up my ass,
watching their every move.

Clearly, this is
Callings Unit business too.

I'm gonna keep an eye on him.
Make sure he's okay once he's done.

I'm leaving you alone in a restricted area

and trusting you to get him to his room.
Don't make me regret this.

I've got a lot on the line today.

- Mickey Mouse, so good to see you.
- You too.

It's been... I don't even know how long.

I tried to invite you
to the Vasquez Thanksgiving, but Jared...

Okay, yeah, nope. Mmm-mm.

Wait a minute.

- Are you two...
- Come on, bro. No empieces.

- The holidays have never been the same.
- Aw.

All right, all right. So, what's up?

First off, you look funny
behind this big desk, little bro.

Your face will look funny if you keep on.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Ooh.

So you come all the way to the Bronx
to mock my spot or what?

We were hoping you could help us
locate a business,

pero there's a bit of a catch.

We only have a few numbers
for you to go by.

So we're hoping this database of yours
got Google beat on this one.

Uh, leave it to me.

Thanks to Uncle Jared,
my kids practically live on that thing.

He built it in a week. Overachiever.

Huh. A man of many talents.

His brother has a few talents as well.

And...

voilà.

So these are the plat numbers.

They identify the city blocks,

but within that block,
there are 15 businesses.

So without more numbers to go on,
I can't narrow it down further.

Fifteen. Okay, we should bounce.
Time is not on our side. Thank you though.

- So good to see you.
- You too.

Hey. Take care.

And then last night, Hannah's brain scan
showed that her Calling finally stopped.

And I just...

I worry it's another Calling
that went away because it wasn't solved.

Who knows what that means

for our Lifeboat.

Oh, I guess I can finally tell you
since you can't actually hear me,

but Polly, Ben, she's pregnant.

Life in here is so cruel and hard, and...

I'm really glad that you came back.

Ben? Hey. Ben? Hey, come here.

Hey, you okay?

- Saanvi.
- Yeah.

What the hell is that?

All right. So, um, so far,
we have zero leads.

And that was, what? Stop number nine?

Only half of them recognize me as,
I quote, an "828 freak," so that's good.

On the bright side,
we're running out of time.

This is bullshit.

I mean, what if the only reason
Joe got the Calling

was because he's a contractor?

He'd have an easier time helping us know
what to look for in these shops

if he was here with us.

I don't understand how Zimmer thinks
I can solve someone else's Calling.

I've seen you do it a thousand times.
Seriously, you're like a Calling legend.

You see? You see? There she is.
What are you... What now?

No, it looks... The street looks familiar.

A couple blocks that way.
Isn't there the Around the World bar?

We'd go there after beat shifts
back in the day.

Shit, yes, that's right. With
a drink-your-way-around-the-world menu.

All the beers from different countries.
Oh my gosh. That Lithuanian lager.

Ooh. That hit the spot every time.

You know, actually, I, uh... I may have
looked up honeymoons in Lithuania.

Yeah.

Hey, if we solve Joe's Calling, maybe
we can go by the bar, see if it's open.

I give it 20 minutes

before Zimmer's red-headed henchman
hunts us down.

Well, we'd only need ten.

Preventing the world from ending
and finding Joe's son

were my primary goals
in solving Joe's Calling,

but Lithuanian beer ain't bad either.

"Wake him up. Wake him up."
Wake who up? You?

I have no idea.

Clearly, I thought it was important.
What's with my spacing?

The spaces are...

a path.

Leading us to...

this.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Offices.

Mess hall.

Rec.

ALNI patients are down there.

Labs. Ben, this is a map
of the detention center.

We're not waiting for Callings Unit
to handle this, are we?

No, we are not.

As my kids like to say,
we're going on a treasure hunt.

- Next door?
- I hope this is the right place.

Violins. That's a promising start.

I've been waiting for you.

I think I know
exactly what you're looking for.

- Oh, uh... Yeah.
- No!

No, I'm sorry, sir.
We're not ring shopping.

Gold, round cut,

pretty simple, very tasteful.

It's... It's nice.

Actually, I...
I gave her one just like that.

Yeah. Problem is she gave it back.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Oh dear.

And what he's leaving out is
he chose a princess cut.

- Uh, did I get that right?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. It just so happened to be
on my best friend's finger instead.

- You really wanna play this game?
- I do.

- Yeah.
- Ah.

Not here for rings.

Got it.

Well, I'm Graham Carpenter.

So, uh... What can I do you for?

Well, we received reports
of potential code issues.

We're just checking out the whole block.

Well, the store's gas main
was updated last month.

The electrical system
is in good working order.

As far as I'm aware, no water issues.

But you're welcome
to look around for yourselves.

Thanks.

There's a camera down there.

When it turns again, we have eight seconds
to get to the end of the hall.

Wait, how do you know...

While you spent the last few months
trying to find a way out,

I've been finding my way around.

Go in order by room.

Okay, let's go.

- Heading your way now.
- Yeah. Okay, copy that.

Someone's coming.

Wait! Wait.

In here.

Sh.

If they find us in here,
we'll never see the light of day.

There's no reason passengers
should be here.

Okay, so just follow my lead.

Hey, you mind?

Yeah, kind of.

Vance, thank God.

I come down here to make sure
you two are okay,

and you're playing tonsil hockey
like it's prom night?

- We thought you were Zimmer's attack dogs.
- Whatever it is you're doing, wrap it up.

There's a surprise count happening later.

If you aren't in your rooms by then,
you'll both be locked up indefinitely.

Vance, the faster you distract
the guard down the hall,

the faster we solve this thing
and make it back to our bunks.

Hey, I think the scanner down here
is broken. Can you confirm?

Yes, sir.

All guards. Lockdown by 7:00 p.m. tonight.

So...

the lights in here, they don't ever dim?

Again, no.

You checked the electrical,
the gas, the water,

even the printer ink supply,

which I highly doubt
falls under the city code.

Thank you for your patience.

All right, so do you think
we got the wrong store?

No, that has to be the right one.
It's the only one playing classical music.

Not to mention he nailed your ring style.

Or what I thought was your ring style.

It was perfect.

What did you, uh, do with it, anyways?

Your ring?

I still have it.

If you think this is the right store,
we should call Olive, right?

Have her, you know,
cross-reference the boards.

Look at you, Mr. Callings Unit. Go ahead.

- Jared?
- Hey.

I just tried Olive,
but she didn't pick up.

Dad smashed her phone. Classic.

Well, I got a familiar voice for you.
Hold on.

Hey, it's me.

Hey, you got out again?

Uh, not exactly. Um...

Long story.

I need you to find any info
on Joe Butler. 29 C.

All right. Let's see.

Originally from South Carolina.

Has a kid.

He lost his wife a few years ago.

- They haven't had it easy.
- Don't forget about the ink or the lights.

Hey, is there anything on the boards
about, um, ink or tar or ooze?

Or any mythology on dim lights? Uh...

Contractors? Form?

God, the more I talk,
the more it's a lost cause.

Yeah. Sorry, I'm not seeing anything
on the boards.

- Did your Calling have anything else?
- Not my Calling. It's Joe's.

He's desperate for us to solve it
so that he can track down his kid.

Oh.

I wish there was a way to get in his head.

Help me! Help!

Aunt Mick, remember what I said about
seeing Bethany's Calling the other day?

- Yeah.
- What if I could do that again?

Intentionally getting inside
someone else's Calling? Can you do that?

I have no idea, but I can try.

See anything new?

I had the sensation of a Calling,
but it was totally blank.

Well, that's new.

His brain activity indicates
he had a Calling.

Print out his scans for me, will you?
I'll take it up with Dr. Bahl.

- Hey, you still with me?
- Yeah.

I did it. I was in Joe's Calling.

Cal, that's incredible. How?

I can't explain it exactly,
but listen, this felt urgent.

I saw the ink and the piece of paper
and the dim light, but it didn't stay dim.

What do you mean?

It was an old chandelier
over the front desk.

The bulbs burned so brightly,
they shattered.

Okay, we're on it. Thank you.
You're amazing. Go, Dragons!

And after losing another five years
of my life over guards and near misses...

This would be the X.

We're gonna have to handle one more.

How do we get in? A four-digit lock
leaves us with 9,999 combination options.

Really, 10,000.

- Calling?
- No, I just brought my ears.

I punch a code into my lab every day.
I've gotten used to the tones.

I'd say I'd kiss you,
but been there, done that.

Oh my God.

Daly.

Oh great. You're back.

Was there a chandelier there?

Well, if there was,
it would've been over a century ago.

The whole system is defunct.

Come on. The city shut that system down
in the 1930s.

There's no way it could generate
a spark of any kind.

No, he's right.

Listen, kids, I've been playing ball
with you for hours, but I'm done.

Time to call it a day.

There's no way this system's capable
of lighting anything.

The Callings aren't literal.

We're supposed to pay attention
to the electrical unit,

which means, Mr. I've-Been
on-the-Callings-Unit-for-Eight-Months,

that we...

Follow the wires.

I'll take the downstairs.

What? You've gotta be kidding me.

There is nothing down there.

Bill, are you okay?

- What happened to him? How'd he get here?
- I don't know. Uh...

Okay, we know
that after Cal touched the tail fin,

he saw Daly in the glow.

And Daly wanted Cal to stay there.

Then he blipped back into the plane
at Eureka for a few seconds.

And then he disappeared again.
I assume back into the glow.

That leads us back
to our original question.

How'd he get here?

I mean, his vitals are completely normal.

So, what?
He's comatose like the detainees?

No. No, not according to his charts.

I mean, he has been sedated

to make it easier
to monitor his brain activity and vitals.

- Saanvi.
- What?

My Calling.

"Wake him up." We have to wake him up.

He could have information
about the glow. Bill!

He doesn't have the vapors.
They've pumped him full of Ketofol.

Gotta get him to talk.

Someone could come in any second now.
Bill, can you hear me?

Did I ever tell you
what my favorite movie was?

Uh, Shawshank Redemption? Arrival?

No, Pulp Fiction.

Wow, it's nice to see a familiar face. Hi.

Angelina, you're alive?

Did I bring you here?

We always seem to find a way
to each other. We're connected, Cal.

No, I don't wanna be anywhere near you.

Bill? Bill. Bill.

Can you see me? Can you see me?

Thank God.

Okay. You're gonna be okay, all right?

Now, can you remember anything
about the glow or how you got here

or when you got here?

Okay, he's trying to say something.
It's okay. Hey, take your time.

Shit.

All passengers must scan
and return to sleeping quarters...

This is what Vance was trying
to warn us about.

- I can't leave him here.
- No, no.

If they catch us, they're gonna lock us up
in solitary for God knows how long.

- And then we're no use to Daly or anybody.
- Calling. We have to wake him up.

We did that already. And to be able
to do more, we have to leave.

- Right.
- Ben. Now.

We'll be back for you, okay?
I promise you.

- Ben. Let's go.
- I promise you.

Look, I do not give you permission
to be back here,

so let's just wrap this little charade up.

- Has this always been a wall?
- Did you hear me?

You're gonna have to come back
with a warrant!

I bet a contractor
would deem this a fake wall.

Mick, watch out.

Get up!

Oh my God, this is his trafficking ring.

Is everyone okay?
Okay, you guys are safe now, all right?

- Daddy!
- Charlie?

I think Joe's Calling just saved his son.

He created whole new identities for them.

Forged adoption papers.
Faked birth certificates.

You caught this just in time.

Yeah, I know.

These kids thought
they were going to camp.

They had no idea what was gonna happen.

We've been after this ring
for almost a year.

Now it's busted wide open.
Good job. We'll take it from here.

Listen. DCS, they had him placed
with a family. You don't understand that?

We've had him
with several families.

Once they find out
his father was on Flight...

I promise I will personally do my best
to get him into the right home.

Can I go live with my dad?
He's the right home for me.

Hey, your dad, he loves you so much.

I know that 'cause he's got
a picture of you beside his heart.

He does?

Hey, you know what your dad told me?

He said you help him every single time
he gets scared of the dark. You help him.

Yeah, I say, "It's okay, Daddy.
We're all scared of the dark sometimes."

And he feels better.

We'll make sure he's placed with a family
sympathetic toward 828.

Oh, I'm gonna make sure of that.

Hey, you're gonna be okay.
All right, Charlie? I promise you.

Come here. Come here, buddy.

- All right.
- Thank you.

You all right?

I'm pregnant. I get lightheaded sometimes.

- Are you hurt? Did you hit...
- No, I'm okay.

Thank you.

You look fantastic.

Thank you.

You guys just missed the crackdown,

but I hope you had
a good time out in the world today.

We did.

We, um... We solved your Calling.

Does that mean you'll call about my son?

They'll do you one better.

Come with us. We'll tell you everything
you need to know.

He was a little rattled,

but he has no idea
how much danger he was in.

Your Calling saved his life.

Charlie.

Charlie. Oh my God. My boy.

I missed you.

I missed you too, Daddy.
Look, I have a wiggly tooth.

And guess what?
I get to see you all the time now.

My new foster family said
they'd bring me for visits anytime,

just until I get to live with you again.

They have this monster playset.

And Caleb, he was fostered too.

He says he has
an extra night-light for me.

He gets scared of the dark sometimes,
just like me and you.

Buddy, today is a reminder.

The dark never lasts.

You had a hell of a day.

Yeah, I got to be a detective again.
I got to actually help make a difference.

Yeah, you did.

Zeke, it felt good.

It just felt good
being back out there doing that.

My thanks is
I got locked right back up here.

Gonna suck, huh?

Don't focus on the impact
the bad ones have on you.

Focus on the impact
you have on the good ones.

That's why I love you.

You always know exactly what to say.

Hmm.

But sometimes words aren't enough.

I could really use a hug right now.

I'd give you one if I could.

Can you at least tell me
everything's gonna be okay?

Uh, Mick?

Hey, yeah, come on in.

Hey.

I didn't get a chance
to thank you for today.

I don't know. Working together like that,
it just, uh, felt like old times.

Brought you
a little something from the past.

- Uh...
- Yeah, it's not the ring.

- Mmm-mm.
- Okay. That's good.

Yeah.

Oh!

Nice.

Here you go.

Hello, Lithuania.

Cheers.

Hey!

I saw your light on. You good?

I am. In fact, I saw him today.

- Who?
- The other chosen one.

Was he happy to see you?

Not really. Um...

He doesn't understand.

But he will.

He will.

I think this is the orchard. Thanks.

You.

- Um...
- Yeah.

I bet it's a girl.
I don't know for sure, but...

Oh.

Damn it.

Glad we're on the same side.

We made a pretty good team today.

So, uh, what little lesson do you think
Daly brought back with him?

No idea.

But if we've learned anything, it's that
we know no one returns empty-handed.

Hmm.

- I thought you were gonna take it easy.
- I can't.

You're too good.

Let's see.
What's your next move? I'm curious.

I'm flustered now.

Care to tell me
why his nap is over so soon?

What is it?

Come on. Spit it out.
