Previously on Manifest...

Major says proceed.

They're using

massive electrical currents to do experiments on their brains.

My son is channeling the pain from one of the missing passengers.

It's all about the work for you.

- I loved you. - Vi, I'll always love you.

- Mommy! - Give me back my daughter!

I just wanted to thank you for saving us.

Anyone would've done the same.

I don't know if the people I hurt will forgive me.

It's not about them.

It's about you.

And seeing yourself as someone worthy of being loved.

We might just be on the brink of changing the very definition of science

as we know it.

It might very well be the signature of...

The divine?

Did I pass out?

After you insisted you weren't gonna go back inside.

- But, Cal, we... - Don't.

We need to get you to a doctor. You look like hell.

You're one to talk.

I can smell the alcohol on your breath from here.

You collapsed. This is serious.

- It could be... - Anything.

It could be the flu, for all we know. Don't worry about it.

I can sense you're worried about it.

Why don't we get your dad and have Saanvi run some tests?

I am not telling my family. And Saanvi's practically family.

Besides, she has enough on her plate already.

- She'd make room. - I said no!

They are just starting to pull themselves together again with Eden home.

Last thing they need is for me to stress them out all over again,

especially over something that could be nothing.

Fine. What If I can get you to somebody who isn't family?

I need that address. Let's pick up the pace.

Yeah, I got this right here.

Homicide on line 2. Where's the captain?

Just grab Thompson. We need to get a team together.

Okay. Okay.

What the hell is going on?

Another passenger was murdered. Anna Ross.

That's another 828er in 24 hours. They don't think that Colvin...

No, he's cleared for everything but extortion.

Okay, so what's the plan?

Registry is all over this. Already combing Anna's house for clues.

No, I mean, what is the plan with the passengers?

Why is there not a cop at every 828er's door?

That's the first thing I suggested to the new boss.

I'm not the enemy here.

I know. I'm sorry. Just...

Look. I had another Calling. There was blood pouring down a red X.

I don't think this killer is close to being done.

All right. I'll talk to the captain and see what I can do. Okay?

- But in the meantime... - Steer clear of Anna's. Got it.

Saanvi, the sun is barely up. What time did you get in?

I never left. I was going over Cal's scar sample results.

And it turns out it's regular tissue. Then Olive ca...

Saanvi, you are gonna burn out if you don't take some time for yourself.

Get this. Sapphire may be the antenna that tunes us in to divine consciousness.

Sapphire, like on the tail fin and the driftwood from Noah's Ark.

All I need is to get my hands on some sapphire.

Hold on a second. What you need is to take care of yourself.

Vance, I am.

Don't you see? There may be a way for passengers after all.

A way for us to make it past 2024.

Of course you'll make it. It's your father's 60th.

Oh my God! You're not listening to me!

There is no point in buying me a plane ticket

or talking about anything past June 2nd, 2024

because I will be dead.

We already lost you once. I will not hear this again!

She just doesn't understand.

Of course she does. She just doesn't want to.

Neither of us do.

Well, neither do I.

I would do anything for more time.

So why don't you? Surely there must be somebody at the lab.

What lab, Dad?

After the plane disappeared, the government shut it all down.

Then what about that nice man I met?

Vance? I haven't heard from him.

And your friend, the doctor? Alex?

There's no way to right the Lifeboat. Passengers keep doing awful things.

Keep killing innocent people.

Maybe it's not about righting the Lifeboat.

Maybe it's about

finding another way.

Okay.

Everything's been processed under your pseudonym.

Even put "Gabriel" down on your lab work.

Thank you for that.

And for seeing us on no notice.

Anything for friends of Dr. Bahl.

So, Gabriel...

the CBC test results will take a few more hours.

From there, you may need to come in for a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy

to get the most accurate diagnosis.

Okay, but...

But your condition appears to be consistent

with falling out of remission.

Meaning my cancer's back.

Until the results come in, I can't say for certain.

I know it's hard.

Try and focus on something else today.

Find a way to take your mind off all this.

And do what?

Live your life.

Hey, sweetie.

- You wanna draw on this? - No!

Chin up, kiddo.

You didn't like me hovering when you were building Lincoln Logs.

Not at first, but I came around.

Hey, you still stuck in there?

Ben, Anna Ross was murdered.

- What? She was just at the house. - I know. That's why I'm calling you.

Jared's gonna meet me at Sam's to see if there's something we've missed,

but two 828 murders, that's not random,

unless there's some connection between Sam and Anna.

I hope so, for all our sakes.

Okay, uh, I will be in touch. But until then, hunker down. Cal too.

Yeah.

Cal?

Hey, Cal?

Hi, it's Gabriel. Please leave a message.

Oh, there you are. Thank God. Thank God you're all right.

Why wouldn't I be?

Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you last night.

Did something happen?

Anna Ross was murdered.

Oh my God.

Someone's killing 828ers.

Can't have anything happen, which is why you gotta lay low.

- No leaving the house. - Wait. What?

No one even knows who I am.

Angelina does.

Who's she gonna tell? The police? They'll arrest her.

Cal, It's nonnegotiable. Your life could be in danger.

Yeah, some life.

Cal.

He's got a lot on his mind.

Are those letters?

Huh.

A little young to be spelling.

I don't think she's spelling, Dad. I think she's having a Calling.

Well, don't look at me. Go figure it out.

- What? Now? I just told Cal to lay low. - Eden needs your help.

She can't follow a Calling, but you can follow it for her.

Maybe it could be something that could help us catch this killer.

All right, you sure you don't mind?

And spend time with my granddaughter

I haven't seen in two years?

I'm positive.

All right. Don't worry, peanut.

Gonna figure this out for the both of us.

Dad,

lock the door behind me.

Hey, I got your message.

Hey, um, thanks for coming on your day off.

Of course. Two passenger killings in the last 24 hours?

It's not a coincidence, agreed. But why these two?

I don't know. I doubt we're gonna find any answers here.

Between us and the Registry, this place has been combed through.

Okay, we gotta comb again. There's gotta be something in there.

Um, hello?

Oh, it's okay. It's all right. We're police.

Did you know Sam?

We weren't besties, but he was nice. Certainly didn't deserve all the hate.

For being a passenger, or...

Those anti-828 people are no joke.

Stalking? Vandalism?

Like a Kim K robbery-level stalking.

Even cost me a babysitting gig.

Sam didn't have kids though.

Some lady and her daughter were staying with him last year.

I offered to sit, but they took off.

I think the fear got to them.

Is this the kid?

Hey, yeah, I found the connection.

Anna and Sam both took in Angelina at some point.

- So much for steering clear. - Did you just hear me?

Angelina could be out there on some revenge spree

against anyone who helped her, or, I don't know, didn't help her enough.

Well, I could tell you where she's not. Her psycho mom's place in Westchester.

Noelle's in New York?

Yeah, Registry got a tip.

Tossed the place. No sign of Angelina.

Well, maybe we poke the hornet's nest a little more, see what we can stir up.

Mick.

Look. I might find something that your guys missed.

If Noelle can help me get closer to Angelina, to just ending this, then...

Okay. Yeah, I'll send you the address.

Just, please, with everything going on,

be careful.

Yes. Thanks.

Explain to me again why you think it's a good idea

to tear apart a $10,000 laser.

Because lasers use high-grade sapphire in their lenses.

And right now, this lens is all that we've got.

This is a loaner. Last thing I need is for you to break...

that.

For you to break that.

- Tell me this wasn't worth it. - It wasn't worth it.

You just spent $10,000 on an antenna.

It's not any antenna.

Instead of waiting for the Callings to come to us...

You tune into them?

Yes. We'd have an all-access pass to unlimited Callings.

All right. Maybe this was worth it.

Now all I need is an instruction manual.

Where you going? Why is your shirt ironed?

Well, 'cause I'm following doctor's orders.

I was told to do anything other than wait for bad news,

so I'm going out.

Look, I feel for you, sometimes literally,

but your dad was pretty explicit.

Zeke,

for once in my extremely shortened life, I'm gonna live.

Can you please hold? Okay, thanks.

May I help you?

I hope so. I'm looking for a place for my father.

He's... He needs help.

One minute, he's with us.

The next, he's dragging me off to the 500 Club to see Frank Sinatra.

I mean, we're pretty short-staffed.

I don't know if there's anyone around that can...

Please. I'll show myself around. I can't manage him by myself anymore.

Yeah.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Okay, just a quick look around.

All right.

And don't disturb any of our clients.

Sure.

Hello, ALNI.

Yes.

Okay.

Who do you think you are?

You have some nerve thinking you can flash your badge and barge in.

The police were already here, demolishing my home.

Do you know what your partner did to me? She abducted my child.

Actually, it sounds like she saved your child from you.

How dare you! The only person Angelina needed saving from was herself.

I bet she did kill those people.

And if that is anyone's fault, that's yours.

I tried to protect the world from my fallen angel,

and I was doing a fine job of it until you took her away.

So you're telling me the last time you saw your daughter was in Costa Rica?

The only person I would want in my home less than you is her.

Wow! You believe all that?

Not a word.

- She certainly doesn't like you. - I don't need her to.

If she's not gonna give us proof that Angelina's involved,

maybe the bodies will.

Reynaldo.

Stone.

I haven't seen you since you left the force,

which begs the question,

why are you in my morgue?

Two 828ers are dead, and I think they were killed by the same person.

I also have a feeling that person's not done.

We have a theory.

But to get this new boss to believe it, we need proof.

Well,

both victims have identical markings

made in blood on the palms of their left hand.

So you are correct in thinking it could be the same killer.

Someone 130-135 pounds minimum.

How do you know that?

The knife was driven so deeply into each body,

the hilt left bruising, and that takes real weight.

There goes our proof. Angelina's 110, tops.

What are you thinking?

I used to think someone was trying to pin it on an Xer,

but maybe our killer just simply is one.

They were harassing Sam.

Hmm, they clearly know where to find us, so let's go find one of them.

- Excuse me! - Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize.

This is, uh... this is my wife.

- Sorry I'm late. Traffic was crazy. - Don't worry, babe.

Dad's gonna love this place. Do you mind if we take one more lap?

Go ahead.

Hello, ALNI.

Okay, what was so important that I needed to rush over?

Not what.

Who.

The detained passengers.

How?

Eden's Calling led me to them.

Someone must have dumped them here.

Well, we still don't know what the major did to them or why.

I think Eden sent us here to find out. The question...

Who the heck are you? You cannot be in here.

You can't disturb my patients.

Disturb them? Um, they don't have any brain function.

Wow, cold much? They're still people.

- Let's go. - You don't understand.

Buddy, don't make me call security.

Okay. Our apologies. We're leaving.

- What? We gotta get back in there. - Like there's any chance I'd leave now.

Look. I made a promise to myself a long time ago

that I would never give up on anyone.

Not ever again.

You know what I could use?

A big, dark cave I can just crawl into.

Well, I'm fresh out of those, but

I do have a bed you could crawl into.

What time do you get off?

Uh, Violet?

- Hi. - Hey, thanks for meeting me.

I would've come to you, but with my new job...

Oh, don't sweat it. Seriously. I'm the one that texted you.

Glad you did.

Uh, I've been meaning to return your coat,

but I wasn't sure how to reach the hero that saved me.

Oh, please. You're the hero. This is my favorite jacket.

Uh...

So, um...

So...

what did you have in mind to...

to do?

Unless you just wanted your jacket.

Oh, no. Uh, um...

I'm easy. Whatever you want.

Well, how about I buy you a drink?

The least I could do after everything.

I mean, only if you want to.

Yeah, a drink.

Uh-huh.

Lead the way. Okay, all right.

For sure.

- Take a look at this. - Wait.

- You're gonna see what I found. - I've read enough.

"Enough soft-pedaling with the 828 passengers."

"Time to treat them like the vermin they are."

How do you put up with this shit? All the hate 24/7?

I don't. Just gotta tune out the crazies

and learn to find out which ones are harmless

and which ones mean business.

- XOUT828? - Look at his most recent posts.

He has a whole game plan for wiping out 828ers,

starting with passengers being marked with blood.

Wait. He said blood specifically,

like how the killer uses blood to mark an X on the victim's palm?

It's not public information.

I think we're gonna need a name and address for this XOUT828.

It sounds like you're gonna need to call Drea.

I thought this was a normal bar. I can't do this.

Of course you can.

- Well, I'm not good at singing. - That's what makes it fun.

No one's good. Haven't you done this before?

You're a karaoke virgin?

Is that what they're calling it now?

Don't worry. I'll make sure your first time's one to remember.

Are you kidding me?

Please. I'm a doctor. One look at their charts.

- That's all we ask. Then we'll go. - Out of the effing question.

These people were in my care.

Oh yeah? Then what are they doing here?

I don't know, but there could be something buried in those charts that could help me

help you take care of them.

If you wanna help, leave.

If I violate HIPAA, I get fired, and then my patients are really out of luck.

I am the only one who cares for them.

The facility doesn't even care that no one knows who these people are.

We know who they are.

They're Flight 828 passengers.

Okay. I see.

You're some of the folks that are fascinated by the plane.

Okay.

You're wrong. We're some of those folks that were on the plane.

Hey!

She's not lying. That's Marlon.

His wife, Joelle. And that's Lena.

And that's...

Marko.

Oh my God.

Marko.

I'll never forget what the major did.

Those horrible experiments. The connection you had with my son.

Eden led me here for a reason.

To remember.

It's not good enough to help myself. I have to help.

All of us.

Forgive me, Marko.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

That can't be.

What did you do?

I asked for his forgiveness.

Well, I think he gave it to you.

He's conscious. I think these passengers do have function. They're awake.

Five minutes with their records. If I can get inside their minds,

imagine the type of care you could provide for them.

Five minutes, but that is all.

- Anyone catches wind of what we're doing... - They won't. We'll be in and out.

Just one of you.

Go. I'll stay here. I wanna spend some time with these guys.

All right, so apparently our guy XOUT828, AKA Greg Turner,

isn't allowed within 50 feet of any passenger.

You really think an Xer is gonna behave based on a piece of paper?

There's only one way to find out.

We wait.

Figured it was gonna be a long day. And, yes, before you ask,

there is extra avocado.

Yeah, I'm not making that mistake twice.

Yeah, there it is. Good job.

There's our guy.

Thanks for coming.

I've written all this down for Cal, but it bears repeating.

This is a powerful opioid for the pain.

No more than two of these every 12 hours.

Now, we aren't there yet, but if Cal does end up needing chemo,

he has to stop taking those.

They can mask high temperatures.

His doctor will need to know if he has a fever.

I can't hold on to these. I'm all of 18 hours sober.

I've been so focused on making others' pain go away,

I forgot about me.

My pain.

And now I have no room left to process it.

I haven't even told my wife I relapsed yet.

Sorry. It's the first time I'm saying this out loud.

I don't know what to do.

I know the truth will hurt her.

- But if she finds I kept this secret... - It'll hurt her even more.

It's the nature of secrets.

You've been there.

I have so been there.

I can't believe this is the first time I'm saying this out loud.

But... on the day 828 was supposed to land,

I was at JFK

waiting for Saanvi.

Secrecy breeds pain, Zeke.

Promise me you'll love yourself enough to make room for it.

Whoa! Talk about a deep cut. Is this from when we were gone?

Try 20 years before we existed. It's my mom's favorite.

Mm.

Okay. Go on, then. Who are you really?

Uh, that's just it.

I'm actually... Cal.

Cal Stone.

Cal Stone, the runaway?

But I thought he was...

Younger?

Yeah.

Hard to explain, but it's me.

So that little girl from the compound is...

My sister Eden.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner. I totally get if you hate me right now.

Hate you? You're gonna hate me.

That lady, Angelina.

I helped her, like, a year ago with books and diapers and stuff.

I worked at a day care.

So I hooked her up.

I even let her crash there after hours.

I had no idea who she was or what she had done,

but after seeing that little girl reunite with her dad, with...

with your dad...

If only I had told someone sooner.

No. Angelina had us all fooled.

You are a good person.

I don't understand. I saw you crying. You're conscious.

How can you not have any neural activity?

Hey, space cadet. We gotta go, now. My boss is starting rounds.

Did you find something that can help them?

I think I found something that can help all of us.

That guy isn't allowed within 50 feet of a passenger's home.

What does he do? Shows up at one.

Okay, according to Ben's database, this is Chris Levins's house. Seat 15B.

Someone's home.

Drop it!

Where's the knife?

The hell? What knife?

- He's not our guy. - What? He's outside a passenger's house.

He's not the killer.

Killer? What are you talking about? Get the hell off of me!

Relax, man! We're not trying to hurt you!

There's a text from Drea. Someone just stabbed a third passenger to death.

Wait. So the serial killer's still out there.

Hunting us.

I'm telling you, a giant light leaped from Marko's brain scan.

Proving he's conscious?

Well, we saw him cry. We already knew he was conscious.

Why get a Calling confirming what you already knew?

That's the thing. I feel like the Calling wasn't trying to tell me that.

It wasn't only Marko's. All nine of them lit up.

And the beam wasn't just a light.

It was pointing straight up like an antenna.

Like an antenna to the glow.

Yeah, but that would mean...

These people have a direct channel to divine consciousness.

How is that even possible?

The goal was never to save people.

What's the point of a powerful mutation

if you can't replicate and weaponize it?

The major.

She did this to them.

Of course she did. The torture. The...

Forget torture for a second. She figured out a way

to tune the detainees into the God frequency.

I mean, if I could replicate that, maybe create our own antenna...

Saanvi, stop. What the major did was awful.

Look what happened to Marko, to all those...

I'd never do that to anyone. But if I could figure out

how the major did this, I would know both what to do and what not to do,

and maybe, just maybe, we can figure out how to survive our Death Date.

A direct link to divine consciousness?

Yes, without getting anyone stuck there.

I mean, Ben, if our Callings aren't enough to keep the Lifeboat afloat,

this is our other way.

Eden, her...

her Calling led us to this.

She's a chip off the old block.

Thank you.

I know I haven't always been there. But like you said, you never gave up.

Not on the passengers. Not on me.

It's okay.

What?

Welcome back, friend.

We're about to get started.

Oh, thank you, man.

There you go.

Hey, thanks.

Feel like starting off?

Sure.

My name is Zeke.

And as of today, I'm one day sober.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Daddy.

Well, I'd say so.

How did you know to send me there?

And how did that Calling get in your little head?

Well...

however it happened, thank you.

You reminded me that we're all in the same lifeboat...

and that I just might get the chance to watch you grow up.

This is a sight for sore eyes.

All good things, Mick.

All good things.

Hey, Jared Vasquez from 129. Do me a solid. Process this guy.

No time.

Make time. He's an Xer in violation of his court order.

Yep, all right, pal. Let's go.

Hey.

We got a problem.

That's all of them. But so far, no mention of sapphire.

I don't understand. How could the major tap into the God frequency without it?

You might want to ask Aria Gupta.

Dr. Gupta. Why would I talk to her about the detainees?

Seems our old friend conducted their intake exams.

What?

Why didn't she tell us?

Well, if she was an accessory to torture, it's not exactly something you brag about.

You know, maybe she doesn't understand what the major accomplished.

Okay, well, there's only one way to find out.

We gotta go talk to her.

We're this close to figuring it out.

A chance for more time.

You all right?

Three of us are dead and no clue what's next.

What do you think?

I think you don't need to go it alone.

Marko made me realize how asleep at the wheel I've been.

Ben, you weren't asleep. You were living a nightmare.

But if you wanna help, I'll take it.

Why did I see a bloody X

if it's not gonna lead me towards the killer or the next victim?

Well, maybe there's more to your Calling than meets the eye.

Let's start from the top.

I don't know, Ben. The X you drew, there's something not quite right about it.

I don't know. It's just... It's too...

Maybe we're looking at it the wrong way.

That's not an X. That's a cross.

The Calling, it was leading me to the killer.

I was at the right house, looking at the wrong person.

I know who it is. I know who the murderer is.

- What the hell, J? You scared us. - Where is Cal?

Cal? Where is he?

- Whoa. What's up? - I need to see Cal. Where is he?

I'm here.

Talk to us, Jared. What's happening?

The Registry thinks they found the killer.

It's Noelle, right?

Jared, tell me it's Noelle.

Why are you looking at me? I don't even know who's dead.

What's this?

This... this is the last image the Registry has of the suspect

before he walks out of frame, away from the victim.

Victim?

No.

No. She can't be. I was just with her.

With who? Can someone tell me what the hell's happening?

What's happening is Gabriel Stone's about to be arrested

for the murder of Violet Wheeler.

Jared, this has gotta be some kind of joke.

Cal didn't leave the house tonight.

I didn't say he did.

The Registry doesn't know about Cal. They think Gabriel's the killer.

Where were you?

Cal!

It doesn't matter where he was.

What matters is where he'll go. Cal needs to run, now.
