Manifest (2018) s03e13 Episode Script

1
Man: 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.
Adrian: Come on, man,
I don't have all day.
Angelina: You sorta do.
I like to think of these moments
as life pushing the pause button
to give us a chance to reflect.
I don't want to reflect.
I want to get back to my seat.
We could talk.
Have you heard the Good News?
Adrian: 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's 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.
Man: Stop. We're on the
move. Grace: 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 ide
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 going
to 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 gotta shut this down,
Vance.
The NSA is aware
of Cal's disappearance.
They want us
to continue testing.
I thought you were the director.
W-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 have 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
We're in here all the time?
I know.
Wish it was up to me,
but the 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.
Ben: 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 going to ignore
an order from the Pentagon.
This place would be wall-to-wall
federal troops.
You're going to ignore
the Pentagon?
I 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 gonna feel like
the whole world's against us.
The whole world isagainst us.
That's why we have each other,
and we are gonna need
all hands on deck.
Alright.
Let's go save your boy.
Grace: Okay.
A boat is a 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 tr
Comes true.
Where's his sketchbook?
Uh, I guess he
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.
Drea: Erika Burness.
Patrol picked her up
after she held up a gun store
with her boyfriend,
Randall Barr.
"Shotgun" Randall? Yeah.
Uh, 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 of
No.
We talked about this.
Jared, I had a Calling.
You know what, Mick?
That's it.
I-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
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.
Adrian:
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 do 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.
Dr. Cooper:
Every time Gupta runs a test,
there's another earthquake.
Director, you have
to get her to stop.
Vance: Trust me. I tried.
We've pivoted to Plan B.
Okay, last time,
there was a fault line
where I could take
the Ark fragment.
Is there any other place
that could've 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 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
S-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.
Drea: 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.
Drea: 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 II?
You are 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.
Olive:
I knew something was wrong.
I could feel it all morning,
but
What are you looking for?!
His sketchbook
or anything we can use to
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?
Ben: Some sort of puzzle.
Saanvi: 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 and security
personnel to 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 got to narrow it down.
What the hell is going on here?
Director Zimmer.
Vance:
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've 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?
Vance: 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. Gupta: 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 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.
W-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
going to be bad for all of us.
There's something underneath.
What?
Cal must've 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.
Zimmer: You're kidding me.
A dragon?
Doesn't Cal have
a stuffed animal?
Art? Yeah.
Maybe it is. I've seen enough.
Pack up your desk.
I'm pulling the plug.
N-No, you're not.
Excuse me?
According to Eureka directives,
only the Secretary of Defense
can relieve
the project administrator
without signoff 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. It's
Pitamahi.
This is Sanskrit
for "grandmother."
This isn't your son's dragon.
It's
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.
Vance:
Then you'd 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.
Um, if the dots aren't islands
but stars
and the dragon goes here
This time of year, those stars
are on the eastern horizon.
Okay, right. If we
We draw a line
from where we are now
to the constellation
Saanvi:
That leads us right into
the heart
of an electrical storm.
Then that's where we're heading.
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.
But whose house is it?
2012 Elmwood Drive.
The Internet
doesn't recognize it.
Our database will.
Gupta: Hurry it up, people.
This needs to be on a boat
within the hour.
Uh, be careful out there.
I, uh
People are about you.
Um, as a colleague.
Thank you.
You're a good friend, Troy.
Saanvi:
Okay, this is gonna work.
Ben: It has to.
Hope you're not
the seasick types.
Vance:
Storm warning offshore.
It could be dangerous.
Captain is not at all happy
we're going out.
I should call Grace.
Hello? Vance: How's that sore throat?
Fine. Mom made soup
before she went to work.
Doing your homework?
Yep.
Mm.
You do know I interrogate people
for a living, right?
Listen, I'm gonna be late,
so, uh,
when Tyson
gets home from practice,
you two order in.
Cool.
Warren, I love you, son.
Love you, too.
Just stick to the plan.
There's a silent alarm
and a patrol response time
no more than six minutes.
Well, let's see
if we can buy more time.
What, did 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 got run of the place.
Hello, gorgeous.
Files all gotta 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?
Uh, 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?
Girl, you need
to get away from me.
But this is ourfight, Adrian.
No, blood is going to be shed.
I had a Calling.
And th-this is my fault.
You're not safe with me.
You need to run.
No, no.
You ca
No, 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.
Drea:
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.
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've 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've shot this kid
and ran.
You want to die in prison?
No one's getting shot.
Jared: If you want to talk,
it's 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 in there.
Could probably play them off
one another.
We're about to find out.
Shut the door.
Take off your jacket.
You wanted to talk?
Talk.
Jared: We talk in the room
with the hostage.
Mnh-mnh.
I'm happy to hang outside
and wait for the sharpshooters.
What is this?
Jared:
It's just a conversation.
Warren,
I just spoke with your dad.
He says to stay calm.
Okay? You alright?
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.
Then for God's sake, stop.
W-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 in here. Of course.
Director Vance, covering his ass
all over again.
We have no idea
what he's gotten away with.
Look at me.
Are you hurt?
Are you sure?
Come on.
Mr. Vasquez.
Mr. Vasquez.
You want to do a ride with me,
please?
Kathryn Fitz is dead.
Murdered.
One of our agents found her body
several months ago.
Vance:
Okay, come on. Come on.
Take him outside.
I don't know how to repay you.
How about the truth?
Who's this guy?
It'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 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!
Man: Hold on! No!
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 act
as mystified as I was.
I was, Jared, I swear it.
Until recently.
So you you quit
so you 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've 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 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.
Michaela: Adrian.
Why am I back here?
I thought we stopped it.
What did you do?
I-I-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 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.
I-It's not over.
Mick?
I thought I stopped the killing,
b-but
Look at me.
Look at me, Cal.
Where are you?
I have to go.
Go?
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.
Ben!
I need my guardian angel.
No!
Aah!
Mom?
Mom!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Angelina: "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."
Angelina:
We're connected.
Oh, my God.
Olive: 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
