[Vance] Previously on Manifest...
[Autumn] You and Angelina have gotten close.
Well, I don't see your hand encrusted in sapphire.
God has chosen me to guide the worthy through the final judgment.
[Zeke] We all dealt with Chloe's death.
I think this is what I needed to do,
and yet I don't feel any better.
- [Evie] I got this. - Evie!
How'd you know Evie? She was my best friend.
I almost died of congestive heart failure.
- I needed a transplant. She was my donor. - [Zimmer] You've been transferred.
- [Saanvi] Ben! - [Ben] Saanvi!
They're ahead of us. Saanvi's not the only scientist
to figure out there's a volcano under New York.
Once my guards have cleared out, passengers will get what they want.
We can't leave them here. These are human beings.
The decision has been made.
The whole point of no strings is that it's never awkward.
This... This hasn't been a thing for a while.
[Vance] Here's the key to the ALNI patients.
They were on life support. They need special care.
- I didn't get a Calling. I got all of 'em! - We can still help solve the Callings.
Giving you the chance to survive the Death Date.
- The red river, it leads to a volcano. - The world's ending, and we know how.
[woman] What's happening in New York is consistent with what you're hearing
from your intelligence counterparts across the globe.
Understood, Mrs. Secretary. I'll see to it myself.
If I'm not going home, neither is the asset.
[mysterious music plays]
Why isn't she here? Bring her in.
Any change on the infrared?
[beeps]
No matter what we do, it's continuing to grow.
[Saanvi] Of course it is. I told you that it would.
You're not working hard enough.
The Secretary of Defense created this lab for one reason.
Yeah, yeah. To imprison me.
You're not a prisoner. You're an asset with valuable perspective.
An asset that can't go anywhere. I can't call anybody.
I can't do anything without cameras tracing my every move.
We are facing an extinction-level event.
The public has no idea what the seismic activity portends.
If we are to avoid mass panic, they must never know.
Know what? That unless the passengers survive our final judgment,
life as we know it will end in two days.
Look, we know that whatever or whyever this volcano is,
it's reacting to signals from the God frequency.
Sorry, ultralow frequency.
So it stands to reason that if we could block the ULF,
we could stop the volcano from ultimately erupting.
How would you block the ULF?
By using an electromagnetic pulse?
That's interesting.
Let's get proof of concept.
The black box emits ULF, no?
See if an electromagnetic blast would work on that.
Troy, you'll wipe out all of our data.
If the volcanoes around the world erupt, what good will our data be?
This could be our only hope.
[suspenseful music swells]
[mysterious music plays]
[mystical whirring]
[thunder rumbles]
[screaming]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[high-pitched ringing]
[thunder rumbles]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[thunder rumbles]
[whirring]
- [static crackles] - [child laughs]
[suspenseful music plays]
[woman] Every life is worth-- Every life is worth--
[thunder rumbles]
[panting]
Hey, easy. Easy. Easy. Easy.
You want some water? Some aspirin?
No, I'm fine.
Fine? Cal, you look exhausted. At least do something to manage the pain.
No, no time. I just got a bunch. I don't wanna forget them. Let's go.
[Ben] Cal.
[overlapping chatter]
Okay, everyone. Circle up. We've got a lot of work to do.
Where's Olive and Eden?
Field trip. Playing normal life today.
All right, Cal. Let's hear it. What's going on?
Uh, Captain Amuta.
I sat in your seat, and I saw some game like boccie meets baseball.
Cricket. I used to play, growing up in Jamaica.
There are cricket fields in Prospect Park. My mom used to take me there all the time.
Okay, great. Since you're familiar with the area,
why don't we fold Amuta into your team for the day?
[Ben] Be careful going out of the tunnel.
And remember, if anyone IDs you or thinks you're a passenger, you--
Split up, take three different modes of transportation back.
[Cal] Uh, Mick, you also had one. Um...
"Every life is worth saving." At least, I think that's what it said.
It's okay. I'll figure it out.
I got a piece of something for 12F. Who's that?
- [woman] Yeah, that's me. - [Cal] Hey. Okay, I saw...
"Every life is worth saving." I don't--
Sounds like one of those posters at a recruitment center.
"Dare to dream." "Be the best you can be."
My wife bringing me Gerlando's at work. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Doesn't take an empath to know what day it is.
And I figured you could use a little pick-me-up.
[Zeke] That's very sweet of you, but--
But nothing. Zeke, birthdays are hard.
I would know.
Chloe's birthday was like Mardi Gras.
[chuckles]
She was something.
Anyway, my sister's birthday is just the half of it.
[sighs] I got assigned this new intern. Troubled kid, someone in need of a mentor.
Sounds like the perfect match.
Yeah, should be, except I've been in my head all day,
and I... I blew it.
I mean, I snapped at this kid when he was just trying to learn.
I have an idea.
[Zeke] Oh, what's that?
Grab a pen. Come on.
Cal got it wrong. I don't think it's saving. It's living.
"Every life is worth living."
- I know where I need to go. - Okay. Want me to come?
- I kind of have to do it alone. - [Cal] So this one was really loud.
There was a sawing noise
and a storm with rain and thunder.
I'm sorry. It's not a lot to go on, but--
Hopefully, it's enough.
My team can go out with you.
As long as someone can cover for Henry at the lab.
I didn't have a Calling. Glad to help.
Great. Henry, you join Astrid and me.
Astrid isn't here.
Well, I'm on my way to see Drea. I can check on her.
Please.
You guys should head out soon.
All right. Thanks, everyone. That's it.
[overlapping chatter]
Hey, Cal. Good job.
Is there anything else?
Uh, actually, you had one. Um...
A buzzing noise
followed by a bunch of numbers that I couldn't make sense of.
It started one, one, two, one.
[Ben] One, one, two, one? One plus an area code.
There's no state with a 121 area code.
Maybe it's a date. November 21st?
[Ben] Could be the year 1121.
Maybe there's something on the mythology boards.
[mysterious music plays]
[sighs]
One, one, two, one.
It's the start of a New York City zip code.
Vance, I'm gonna need your help with this.
Eh.
You didn't have to come with me. I was kind of hoping you'd sleep in.
Sleep in?
Well, not with Rosemary's baby kicking around all night.
- That bad, huh? - Mmm, comme ci, comme ça.
I guess it's preparing me for what's to come.
Preparing us.
Assuming the passengers do enough so that we can find out what's to come.
Jay, come on. This again?
Everyone's been out on Callings for a month.
Not everyone's solving the Callings.
And the weaker Cal gets, the weaker the Callings get.
What's going on? Where's this coming from?
Drea, we have two days. That's it.
Two days to tip the scales in our favor. If not... we may never meet our kid.
[somber music plays]
Astrid!
- [curtain opens] - Drea! Drea!
[suspenseful music plays]
Get her on her side. It looks like an OD. I don't want Astrid choking out.
I thought she only had a few pills left.
I see two pills right here. You can't exactly OD on a few antianxiety pills.
I don't think Narcan's gonna work.
We better figure something out, 'cause she's not breathing. Help me.
Come on, Astrid. Come on.
[theme music plays]
[mysterious music plays]
I know we're not all supposed to live,
but shouldn't these rubes be working a little harder
to nail down their stairway to heaven?
If I were you, I'd focus on your own salvation.
My salvation? Please. I'm like Daddy freaking Warbucks.
My place in the A is secure.
What you have is material. What we have is faith.
Faith in Angelina and her decisions.
Or do you not believe in our chosen one?
Hey, I'm like Saul or Paul or whichever is the one who believed.
It just makes me wonder, why would anyone leave?
Especially a nervous Nellie like Astrid.
Whatever reason she had for leaving, she certainly didn't share it with me.
Did she though?
Leave?
The woman would've given Freud a field day. She was a nervous wreck.
The only thing that could calm her down were her pills.
I just happened to find one on the floor.
Here's what I know.
The world will end in two days, and only eight can survive.
Rather than worrying about others, I pray.
I suggest you do the same.
[intense music plays]
Astrid! Astrid! Can you hear me?
- Astrid! - [gasps]
Thank God you paid attention on CPR Day.
Yeah, we're not out of the woods yet. We need to get her to the med bay.
Okay, take a second. Realize what you just did.
[Jared] You weren't a slouch either.
Well, the good news is there are only ten postal zones in Brooklyn
that have a zip starting with 1121.
So what's the bad news?
The bad news is those ten zones encompass 80 blocks.
So solving my Calling's gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack.
I can go back on the plane.
- No, Cal-- - What other option do we have?
We might not need one. I think I just found that needle.
This whole block was condemned years ago under eminent domain.
It was declared a Superfund site or something, but look here.
- [Ben] What are those? They look like-- - [Vance] Solar panels. New ones too.
See, according to this requisition form,
looks like ConEd installed the panels months ago.
The buzzing sound in your Calling.
It sounded like something high-voltage.
High-voltage is right.
These things are generating enough power to light the Vegas strip.
More power than any one building would need.
Especially an abandoned one.
Yeah, I have a feeling my Calling wants me to go here.
- On my way. - [Cal] Yeah, me too.
Me three. If this is what I think, you're gonna want me by your side.
[phone ringing]
Okay, Zeke, I have no idea what's in store for me here,
but you knew this space better than anyone,
so on the off chance you can hear me, I could really use a sign.
No? Okay.
Okay, I know this might look silly, but it works. Trust me.
Uh-huh. According to who?
Evie.
Mmm.
She wrote down all her problems on a note.
Anything from high school boyfriends to your mom.
She'd read it out loud, and then she attached the note to the balloon.
She let it go.
Unburdening herself.
This isn't some high school dilemma. It's Chloe.
Zeke, if you don't free your mind,
you're not gonna be able to help your patients, your intern, anyone.
You gotta just try.
I'd feel more inclined to try this if... if you did it with me.
Maybe another day, but today it's... it's about you.
Come on.
Read the note.
You read it.
"Chlo, I know I wasn't always there for you the way I should've been,
but somehow you never held that against me."
Zeke, come on. Please.
"You were the brightest light. The kindest heart. The gentlest soul."
"You never showed me anything less than love."
[voice breaking] "A love I took for granted until..."
[whimpers]
I can't.
"Until you couldn't show me anymore."
Hey.
Okay.
[inspirational music plays]
Excuse me. Can I help you?
- Uh, no, I was just looking-- - [woman] Oh my God.
You're Zeke Landon's wife.
How are you not in that detention center?
No, no, no, please. Please don't call the cops. I'm... I'm begging you.
[suspenseful music swells]
[sighs]
All right, what is it?
Something's bumming you out big time.
Everything is bumming me out, Troy.
This is something else. Something specific.
Like right now. You know I know you.
Know what? Forget I asked. Mind handing me that input cable?
No. You know what? This is stupid.
- Aha! I knew it! - I'm serious. We have to get out of here.
I suppose it is borderline cray-cray to try and stop a volcano.
No, there is no point in trying to stop volcanoes
if the divine doesn't want them to be stopped.
We need to figure out how passengers can survive their judgment.
We only have two fricking days left to do that! Two!
But that would mean breaking out into hallways accessed by key cards.
Cards we don't have.
Hate to say it. If you want out, we have to stop the volcano,
which means testing that pulse.
That pulse can wipe out every electrical signal, right?
- Saanvi? No. - [Saanvi] Yes.
If we can crank it to 11, we can disable every camera, every lock.
We can get out of here.
We could get arrested.
Do you wanna live the rest of your life in fear or go out like a hero?
We're doing it.
[foreboding music plays]
Do you have a minute?
For one of the trusted members of my flock? Always.
Can we go somewhere more private? It concerns another member of the flock.
[mysterious music plays]
[Eagan] "The other half of your heart."
Ugh.
[door opens]
If you don't want me to call the cops, you gotta tell me why you're here.
I just need to look around for a second. I know that sounds really weird, but...
You gotta go. Oscar! Oscar, a little help here!
You heard her. She said go.
Look, if you guys could just hear me out for one second, please.
- Time's up. - No.
[suspenseful music plays]
[grunting]
Back off, Oscar!
[suspenseful music swells]
- Black site? A government black site? - A friend of mine did some digging.
Said this energy this building is drawing
attracted a lot of deliveries the past few months.
But in the middle of Brooklyn?
Hiding in plain sight. Worked for you, hadn't it, Gabriel?
[mysterious music plays]
So what's the plan?
Find what we're looking for before the bad guys catch us.
Not much of a plan.
You two worry about your Calling. I got your back.
[beeping]
[lock clicks]
[machine beeping]
Hey, did you find anything?
[Jared] The only thing I found is that we were right about Astrid.
There's gotta be something else going on.
Hey, uh, speaking of,
I'd hate myself if I made things awkward.
Awkward?
For you and Mick?
This thing, it was supposed to be no strings.
It was until I saw you had one hell of a string.
Yeah, but you weren't the only one who saw.
You can't tell me this last month has been easy for Mick.
Who can blame her? This is a crazy situation that we're in.
Drea, I don't know. If we can just make it through the next couple of days,
there's no doubt in my mind
that we all are going to be able to navigate this situation together.
I just wish it were that easy.
Hey, I am as committed to being a father to this child as I am a co-parent to you,
and a partner to Mick, okay?
You have my word.
Okay, thanks.
I hope you're right, 'cause ready or not,
this kid's coming soon.
[suspenseful music plays]
[indistinct radio chatter]
That radio chatter was military. This place is legit. Heads on swivel.
[machine beeps]
I can't believe I agreed to this.
Is it too late to build a Faraday cage?
This is about to go off in
three,
two, one.
[whirring]
Our arrival should've triggered the alarm.
What makes you think we haven't?
You hear that?
- I don't hear anything. - Exactly.
No sirens. No flashing lights.
The only thing between us and whatever's inside
is this simple steel door.
[Troy] This should be all the data we need.
[door closes]
- Dad, we should go. - No, I'm not turning back. Not now.
My Calling led us here.
Dad, your Calling was four numbers. I didn't even--
Four numbers. One, one, two, one.
- [Vance] That's not right. - I know it's not right.
[exhales]
Carlos, I can't believe it's you. It's... [chuckles]
It's me.
I'm still standing.
You, uh... you saved the day.
Consider us even.
It wasn't so long ago when you showed me that my life was worth living.
What?
Nothing. I, um, just can't get that phrase out of my head today.
It's more than a phrase here.
- Yeah. - This is why I was drawn to this place.
Helping people heal and connect.
- You sound like my husband. - [Carlos] I should hope so.
He taught me everything.
You're Zeke's intern.
He talked about you all the time.
You too.
Zeke always said you were his rock, his North Star, his Gemini.
There's nothing more important than helping others, than making a connection.
When my wife and I met, we stumbled upon this petrograph,
and it spoke to us.
And from that moment on,
we've supported each other and held each other up.
Without my wife, without Gemini,
I wouldn't be here today,
'cause there was a moment when I thought life wasn't worth living,
and she reached across space and time to... to help me realize
that it's not just my life that's worth living, but every life.
Every single one.
I got something to show you.
We've been together a long time, brothers and sisters, waiting for this.
The righteous end to our wicked world.
Many of you have shown me your faith, and yet we are still one too many.
So I must ask.
Have you been faithful, brother Paul? Do you believe?
And you, brother Eagan?
Are you praying for salvation?
I'm praying you'll say yes.
When this world comes crashing down and you're standing there,
you're not gonna want to be standing there alone.
And the truth is, I don't wanna be alone either.
We're both broken souls.
But maybe,
as crazy as it sounds,
we could come together,
comfort each other.
So I'm asking you
from one broken-hearted person to another.
Be the other half of my heart?
[chuckles]
[mysterious music plays]
- Yes. Yeah. - Yeah?
[clapping]
Oh my God!
Oh my God. I can't believe you're here. I thought I'd never see you again.
I didn't know where they'd taken you.
You've been cooped up in this place for nine months?
It's a long story.
- How'd you know we were here? - I didn't. A Calling did.
No, but we lost our Calling.
No, no, we just lost our ability to receive them.
But not Cal. He can access all of them.
Over the past month, dozens of us have been sneaking out of the DC,
solving them one by one.
[Vance] Wanna solve any more, we should get the hell out of here.
- It's only a matter of time-- - [footsteps approaching]
Guards.
This way. Quick!
[Ben] Go, go, go, go!
Oh my God. Is this...
After Zeke left, I found that in his desk.
I know why Zeke's reaching out to you through space and time.
Yeah. To say what?
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-- - No, no, no, no, you didn't.
You just... I, um... It's me.
Everywhere I go today, I keep hearing that phrase,
"Every life is worth living,"
but who exactly am I trying to convince that their life is worth living?
What about your life?
Don't you think it's time for forgiveness?
Ever since Evie died,
I...
begged for her to forgive me.
I mean, I would do anything, but she can't give that to me, so...
I'm not talking about getting forgiveness.
I'm talking about giving it.
Forgiving yourself.
[sighs]
This is gonna sound really weird, but, uh, can I have one of those balloons?
[suspenseful music plays]
Go! Go, go, go! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
- Troy, let's go! - Only way out is to create a diversion.
I'm assuming you didn't bring any smoke grenades.
Troy, what? What are you talking about?
I'm saying I care about all you guys so much.
Especially you. You have a chance to save the world.
My freedom for yours.
Easiest decision I've ever made.
This would've been cooler with smoke grenades.
[Saanvi] No, Troy!
- [man] Hands up. - Hey.
[man] Bird acquired.
Okay, Evie.
I think I finally get it.
And honestly, I kind of wish I didn't, 'cause it's the truth, isn't it?
Sometimes the safest place to hide is inside your own guilt.
I mean, how many times have I begged you for forgiveness?
And you're not even one to hold a grudge. You'd always just say,
"Come on, Mick, you dumb shit. Move on with your life."
And I wouldn't.
Okay.
You got me. I'll take the bait.
I forgive you, Michaela Stone.
I forgive you.
[inspirational music plays]
- [Bethany] How'd it go? - A bit rough, but we figured it out.
- How'd everyone else do? - Hmm.
Mixed bag.
Every Calling solved helps tip the scales.
I just gotta believe we're making headway.
I'm gonna go wash up.
More and more, the intel from Cal is incomplete.
It's a miracle any of us are able to solve these anymore.
We're all doing our best, okay? Let's just stay focused.
Looks like your Calling panned out! Welcome back.
- Thanks. - [Bethany chuckles]
I'll go over the Calling outcomes with Bethany
while you give Saanvi the tour.
I think you're gonna find this place has had a few upgrades,
thanks to this guy here.
Uh, it wasn't just me. It was everybody.
[Saanvi] Well,
it looks incredible.
[Ben] Yeah.
It is.
Okay, this is where we keep track of all the Callings.
Every day, Cal goes in...
Hey, you okay, buddy?
Yeah, just, uh, checking to see which ones we already solved.
Before I go back on the plane. I gotta give everyone their next Calling.
[sighs]
He's carrying a lot.
Yeah, too much.
About killed himself trying to make sure we hear every Calling.
He's sat in every seat. Even passengers who have died.
What about Marko and the others?
They're locked into the ULF in a constant state of Calling.
- How could-- - [Ben] He's tried over and over.
They're getting something, but he can't access it.
He just... he beats himself up over all of it.
He's got the weight of the world on his shoulders.
- [Saanvi] How can I help? - Thank God you're back. We needed you.
I needed you.
Saanvi. Hey, you're back.
We have a patient in the med bay. We could really use your help.
To be continued.
What's the prognosis?
It's not gonna be overnight, but I think she'll recover.
You guys did great.
So what's wrong?
One thing's for sure. This is not an antianxiety medication.
And I should know because I used to be on the same script.
Whatever it is, she's been taking at least one of these every day
since she left Angelina.
It's an odorless white powder.
Forms nonsoluble salts in water.
Based off of that and her symptoms, I think it's brodifacoum. It's poison.
We should probably talk to her. She may know who did it and why.
Yeah. Have at it, detectives.
How are they?
Same as always. Just staring straight ahead.
Locked into the God frequency.
Sorry, ULF.
ULF...
Oh my God.
Troy's theory!
[suspenseful music swells]
[mystical whirring]
[mysterious music plays]
I'm here. Right here. Wh...
Where are you?
I'm listening! You gotta be talking to someone!
Please! Come on! Give us Callings!
We need help!
[overlapping chatter]
- [Ben] Hey. - Hey.
You'll never guess who my Calling led me to.
Saanvi. [chuckles]
- She's in the lab. - Of course she is.
What about you? Did you figure out who you were supposed to save?
[Michaela] I did.
Hardest Calling I ever had.
I needed that.
You up for another one?
- Like my life depended on it. - [chuckles]
All right, listen up, folks.
I know we're tired.
It's been a long, long month of working the Callings, but this is it.
Final push.
Our survival, and it seems the survival of the whole world,
depends on every one of us committing to doing the right thing.
[somber music plays]
What is it?
- What did you see? - Nothing.
I heard nothing. I felt nothing.
They're gone, Dad.
The Callings are all gone.
I am... I am so sorry.
If I had been stronger,
if I'd collected more while they lasted, I'd--
Cal. Cal. Cal. We don't even know what any of this means.
Maybe there's an explanation for why they're gone.
Maybe... maybe we solved them all.
Uh, everybody...
I just wanted to say thank you.
[uplifting music plays]
Each and every one of you have worked nonstop with zero credit,
thanks or gain.
I don't know why the Callings are gone, but I know this.
We've been given an opportunity.
A reminder of...
a reminder of what's most important.
It's time to be with the people you love.
Hold them tight. Be by their sides,
because tomorrow... tomorrow might be all we've got.
[Saanvi] All right, here we go.
The effects of an electromagnetic pulse on the insular cortex.
This won't fry their life-support system?
No, I just need a tiny pulse to interrupt the ULF.
Just enough to jolt them out of their Calling.
If God really is behind all this,
there's a reason why these people were kept in a Calling this entire time.
I'm ready to find that reason.
[suspenseful music plays]
Let's wake 'em up.
[beeps]
I don't understand. This isn't right. There's no change in their activity.
How can... How can their vitals not spike after an EMP?
I don't know. Maybe we could try something else.
Try what?
This is it. We have no more time.
It just doesn't feel right leaving you all like this.
But I thank God you never stopped giving us hope.
Come here.
[Bethany] Hmm.
[sighs]
[somber music plays]
Thank you.
My family was just me and my mom, so...
[Ben] Well...
not anymore.
- You'll stay? - Of course I'll stay.

[door opens]
[Cal sniffles]
[Henry sighs]
There used to be a toy shop on Canal Street.
All across the world, people came,
hoping to buy one of these exquisite wooden figurines.
I hadn't been there in a long, long time
until my... our Calling brought me there today.
And when I went inside, I found this.
[mysterious music plays]
This dragon is called Shenlong.
He's the king of storms.
When I saw it, I thought of you.
I believe it's a sign.
One meant for you.
I wish I knew what it meant.
[Henry] You've never stopped looking for meaning.
Why stop now?
[door closes]
Saanvi?
Hey.
I was so sure that they'd have an answer.
