Previously on Manifest…
Get over it.
Up. Up.
No time. I'm going through it. -You're what?
It's not just a watch list.
That NSA facility's been monitoring everything we do.
We gotta expose their lies and the people who are telling them,
starting with that guy in charge, Robert Vance.
They have Vance's son.
Who sent you here? Michaela? You tell that traitor--
-Ah! -Let him go!
You're from 828 too?
Yeah. You seeing what I'm seeing?
I'm not ready to die, Bill. Please.
-Who said anything about dying?
I understand that her case is officially closed,
but I have new information that proves my daughter is alive
and possibly still in New York.
No, no, no, don't transfer me.
I've already talked to that division. They won't see me until--
Idiots. No offense.
Well, I'm not NYPD anymore.
Can Zeke force someone else to feel empathy?
It's not how his skills roll, but I can call him and tell him--
What I need is the police to follow this lead before it gets cold.
-Have you tried calling Jared again? -Yeah. Again and again and again.
Okay. Well, look, I'm here for you.
Cal and Olive, they're ready to jump in and--
You didn't hear that, the thunder?
I didn't hear a thing.
It must have been a Calling, then.
It has nothing to do with Eden.
How can you say that? You just had a Calling that led you to Eden.
No, a Calling took me a few feet away from Eden.
-It could've taken me straight to her.
I figured out Eden was staying at Anna's because of Aaron Glover and your husband,
but now we have real-world information to follow.
-Sending that to Saanvi? -Mm-hmm.
You know, that scar looks pretty badass.
Kinda like a tough guy, you know?
Makes you look streetwise.
It really doesn't.
Henry told me that I was a dragon before this transferred to me.
I think you'd make a cool dragon.
Well, I'm a guy who disappeared and then came back five years older
with no memory of where I was or why I was there.
Doesn't sound too dragon-y to me.
Well, maybe the scar's supposed to help you figure that out.
I don't know. Just feels like I'm treasure hunting without a map.
So you're saying…
I was teaching that to Eden before.
God, I feel awful
that I told Dad to let go,
to accept that Eden's gone.
We both did.
When you were gone, no matter what anybody said,
I…
I always knew that you were still out there.
I knew that you were still alive.
With Eden,
I've never felt that.
Still don't.
Hey. Team Attic needs more coffee. Stat.
No, they need it drinkable, so I got this.
Uh, how's it going up there?
Do you hear that thunder?
Yeah, how could I not?
Oh. Maybe because I didn't.
What do you think it's about?
Well, I don't know,
but Saanvi's been on me to come to the Bird Nest.
Something about the black box. Could that be it?
-Yeah, it's worth checking out. -Okay.
Back in a bit.
No! You rat!
No. I'm a dragon.
No, I've got it.
Ben! Jared's here! Thank you.
I knew my day off was toast after his fourth phone call.
Yeah.
Finally. I've got a new lead on Eden.
But NYPD won't meet with me until next week.
Ben, they closed the missing persons case.
Well, they're wrong, and now I have proof.
Eden drew these.
And this is another passenger's house.
Eden and Angelina stayed here just days ago.
Wait, what? Which passenger?
Anna Ross.
We have everything we need for a new investigation.
-The precinct's gonna push back on this. -Jared.
The day I buried Grace, I made a promise that I'd bring our baby home.
I've never been this close. We have to move now.
We gotta bypass the precinct. Meet me at the Registry in an hour.
The Registry? No, they are not gonna help us.
Eden's not even a passenger, and her case is with missing persons.
There's no law enforcement agency that'd be more aggressive
in tracking down a passenger wanted for murder.
And an ex-partner of yours has the juice to put it right at the top of their pile.
This is amazing. I need to take a sample of this.
Before you come at me with a scalpel, you had news?
Henry said that he brought the black box back for you.
You should be the first to hear it.
You found something else?
I still own my truth. Slower.
-You can hear this? Vance couldn't. -Slower.
-Okay. -Go back. Save her.
-Save him. Own my truth. -Uh, Saanvi.
-Last chance. -Set them free.
-It's all connected. -It's all connected.
Are you okay?
All right, I think it's safe to say we're onto something.
Okay, so how did the Callings end up recorded on the black box?
They're hidden in a 6.2-second segment of ultra-low frequency waves, ULF.
They were recorded in the middle of the flight.
Something about these six seconds is clearly having an effect on you.
So we just need to figure out what happened that moment on the flight.
Well, exactly, but the question is how.
Hey.
I'd give you a big, sloppy hug, but I think someone's probably watching.
-Probably. -Where's your brother?
Well, his car is filled with Eden posters and garbage, so we drove separately.
Jared said this lead's legit.
Yeah. Yeah, I think it is, that this could be it.
Oh my gosh. Is that Dillon's Coffee? Oh my gosh, I love that place.
Weird. The only way I came across it was 'cause it was across from Jared's house.
It's weird you'd go so far out of your way for a coffee.
-Damn.
Zip it. If he finds out you've known the whole time, he's gonna freak.
Uh-huh.
-Morning. -Hey.
-Mikami, you up to speed? -Mm-hmm.
All right. Now what?
I'll take your report. We file a complaint.
Then we're clear to investigate. When we get there,
you're hauled in for questioning, all right? We're not friends. Got it?
All right, let's go.
What? Amuta? The 828 copilot?
What about him?
He's the thunder.
-I gotta talk to him. -That's not why I'm here, Mick.
We got Ben. You got the Lifeboat.
Amuta'll be out in, like, five minutes. You go.
Okay. Take care of him.
Yeah.
Right this way.
No one likes the Registry.
But if we do what they ask and we keep our appointments,
then they leave us alone.
And I can stay as long as I want?
That's the whole point.
We took this whole boarding house
and made it a safe haven for any passengers.
Thank you. I've been so alone.
There's so much good to be done in this place.
We garden, we harvest honey, and we protect each other.
Remember, if you have any Callings, you have the power to ignore them.
We have to be strong.
Is there someone upstairs?
I left the window open up there. Probably a squirrel. I'll check.
Good morning, little one.
Hi.
Eden, this is the nice man who saved the doctor
who then saved your life.
Pulled him out of the water when he was drowning.
And now he's helping you again.
Helping us.
-I'm sorry about the door. I didn't-- -You need to be quiet.
All day my people are in and out right below.
I know. I just thought we could--
They can't know you're here.
They won't understand, and I won't ask them to.
How about I wash that for you?
Oh, that's okay. I just--
All dirty.
Remember, you're not here.
Uh, Captain. Michaela Stone.
Stone. Right, the detective.
Not anymore, but it looks like you're still flying.
Private jets now.
Boss brags he's got an 828 pilot
and puts up with the fact that I have to get rubber-stamped here
every time I touch down in New York.
Look, I know you saw what I saw. The lightning. We're sharing a Calling.
I'm due at Teterboro. I have a plane to fly.
This isn't something that we can just turn our backs on.
I'm sorry. I don't have time for this.
Amuta, please!
Amuta! Come on. No--
And here's a list of the clothes she had with her.
Wait. Anna Ross lives in Forest Hills, right?
-Yeah. -Check out this.
A librarian out there reported a stolen phone.
The suspect is a distressed woman with a toddler.
Caucasian, early 20s, 5'1", brown eyes, blonde hair.
No, Anna said Angelina still has long auburn hair.
All right, suspect left bleach marks and a hair bleach kit in the bathroom.
Maybe it is her.
Maybe she's on the run. Makes sense she'd change her look.
Library. Let's hit it.
Look, I know it's an impossible ask,
but we're gonna need you to hang back so we can do our job.
For real. We good?
Yeah.
Hey!
Who are you?
Do you know where my daughter is?
828 freak.
You truly have a way with words.
We ought to do a prison Shakespeare production. You'd make a great--
Yeah!
So I just had a passenger refuse to follow a shared Calling with me.
Sorry.
Hey, do you know where Dad is?
He's with Jared and Drea following a lead.
A good one. What are you guys on the hunt for?
Saanvi found a section of the black box that has recorded all of the Callings.
-Up until the plane disappeared at Eureka. -What?
Yeah. Yours, mine, Ben's, Cal's, a dozen more, all on top of each other,
but it is only six seconds.
Trying to figure out what happened to 828 at that moment.
We're focusing on the weather maps
because we know it was during the turbulence.
When the lightning hit the plane.
And all the thunder.
The passenger who blew me off was the copilot.
-The Calling was thunder and lightning. -We need to talk to him.
Yeah, I tried, but he's about to board a plane at Teterboro.
Well, is there any way to stop him?
That's actually why I'm here.
NYPD. Your phone was stolen, ma'am?
I thought it would be days before I heard back, if ever.
Do these folks look familiar to you?
Well, that's the woman I saw. And this looks like the little girl.
Missing for two years? But her mother--
That's not her mother.
Her family is eager for any leads.
I almost didn't report the stolen phone,
but something about the young woman's demeanor
and the hair dye in the bathroom concerned me.
You were right to call.
I see a lot of down-and-out folks, but the child stood out.
So sweet. In fact, she gave me a gift.
She drew this while her mom--
the woman used that computer.
Browsing history has been wiped.
Do you mind if we borrow the computer? Have NYPD forensics dig a little deeper?
-I'd have to get permission. -We don't have time. Please.
Have at it.
I've got you an open port through the APIS firewall.
Okay. I need five minutes.
And you got two.
I need two minutes.
Suspended pending in-person authorization.
Captain Amuta, report to FAA, special cases, located at…
Alonzo, do you mind putting in the address for the Bird's Nest?
Wow, you're sending him here? Naughty.
Capt. Clarke, you are no longer cleared for takeoff.
All clean for you, Eden.
Mm, still warm. What do we say?
Thank you.
I've been thinking, maybe we can call in an anonymous tip.
You know, at least let the Stones know she's alive.
-Maybe even reunite them. -Um…
I'm the only family this little girl knows.
She and I are meant to be together.
Because you took her?
Eden and I are connected in a way that transcends blood.
I think we're even starting to share the same Callings.
I'm supposed to protect the people here,
and harboring a fugitive puts them in danger.
I'll give you some food, cash, but in the morning, you need to go.
I am so close, Grace.
I swear.
Eden?
It's you.
-Let's play a little game. -Okay.
Come on. Come on, Eden. I'm here.
Daddy's here.
No.
No, no, no, no, no!
Eden!
The Callings were all in our heads, so how do they even get recorded?
Uh, ULFs.
Ultra-low frequencies.
-This is gonna hurt, isn't it? -Well, it's not gonna not hurt.
What have you done? This sure as hell isn't the FAA.
Amuta, you know Dr. Bahl, and this is Gabriel.
How dare you meddle in my flight plans, put my livelihood at risk?
I'm trying to protect the passengers, and as an 828 pilot,
that is also your duty.
Like hell. My duty ended when I stepped off that plane.
Well, the Callings don't actually agree with that.
We think your Callings are related to the storm 828 flew through.
There are only two people who saw what was coming,
who took us through to the other side. You and Capt. Daly.
I don't talk about Bill Daly.
Clear my flight status, or I'm calling the Registry to report you.
We have the black box.
If you can just take one moment to listen, I promise I'll fix your flight.
Okay, honey, this is the game.
Mommy's gonna draw a picture, and I want you to think really hard
and try and draw the same picture.
Okay.
Okay, let me see.
All right, that was a really good try.
We're gonna try again. Okay?
I'm hungry.
Eden, come on. You've done this before, so I know you can do it with me.
We're connected. I just need you to find it.
Okay? Now think about what Mommy's drawing and draw that.
Can you do that?
Why aren't you listening? Just draw what Mommy draws.
No.
Come on, Eden. I'm here.
Eden, Daddy's here.
If you're not gonna do it right, we're not going to draw.
You can't just draw what you want.
Everything okay here?
Oh, I didn't know you were here.
Thanks so much.
Eden's a bit hungry and cranky.
You know how kids can get.
I've never seen anything like this. You?
Never. Get over it. Up. Up.
Why am I listening to this?
We're almost there.
No time. I'm going through it.
You're what?
Accelerating airspeed to 300 knots.
Are you sure about this?
Please turn it off!
I could have stopped him.
Right then, I knew we should have flown over the storm, not through it,
but I did nothing.
I ruined nearly 200 lives.
-There's no way that anyone-- -Stop.
There's nothing you can say that will make me not regret that moment.
-Can I go? -Can you just wait?
We found something buried under the recording,
and we need you to hear it.
Slower.
Go back. Save her.
Save him. Last chance. Own my truth--
Every single Calling is captured in the black box.
But…
but how?
Flight 828, the gift that keeps on giving.
Do you remember what happened during those few seconds of the storm?
I know exactly what happened.
That was the moment we died.
How do you know that?
Amuta, what are you not telling us?
The lightning was everywhere, hitting us over and over.
And then, up ahead,
all the lightning combined into this massive ball of pure light,
and we flew right into it.
There's no way we could have survived.
That must have been terrifying.
It was beautiful.
I felt overwhelmed by a sense of peace. A calm I'd never felt before.
During the storm? I mean, I was pretty terrified.
Because you didn't see it.
Only Daly and I did. He was the only one who understood.
And now he's gone.
Maybe not.
What do you mean?
Two years ago.
Help me!
Where is he?
We don't know exactly.
After 828 landed,
Daly became completely obsessed.
With proving his innocence.
No. It was more than that. He wanted to go back.
He wanted to feel that sense of peace again.
He hounded me to join,
but the more unhinged he became, the more I pulled away.
I mean, I spent a lot of time with Daly after 828. He was single-minded.
He was incapacitated.
Do you know what a copilot's job is?
To take over when the pilot is incapacitated.
I didn't do that.
Not on the plane when I knew he was gonna kill us,
and not afterwards when I could've talked him out of his obsession.
No one knew how far he was gonna take that.
I did.
He called the morning before he stole that plane.
I didn't pick up because I couldn't deal with him anymore.
I should have been there for him. I could have saved him. Saved that woman.
I live with that every day.
You know, I, um…
I failed someone I loved once.
It was my best friend. She lost her life, and I will never forgive myself.
You know what's awful?
Even after what he did…
I miss him.
We'd been so close before everything.
You can't imagine what it's like to fly without your pilot.
-Oh, thanks, Olive.
Welcome.
So, Dad, I've been looking into myths about lost children--
Please, Olive, I don't have time for this.
Well, it actually may be helpful.
You know, Eden was near a river--
Jesus, Olive!
-I'm Sorry. I was just trying to-- -What?
Trying to show me pictures in a book? Just take this all away from me.
-Well, I'll help-- -No, just-- I need to be alone.
Dad?
Dad, what are you doing?
I need to preserve the drawings before they're gone again.
Dad, please…
I'm connecting to Eden. Don't you see that?
No.
No, I don't. I don't see what's going…
X marks the spot.
Circle with a dot.
Spiders crawling up your back.
We were singing that this morning.
Dad, I can feel her.
I can feel her!
Okay, so when Eden gets a Calling, she… she draws them?
Just like Cal did.
Here's the windmill she shared with me in a Calling.
I'm not sure what this one is.
Aunt Mick's cherry blossom Calling.
Right. So this must be the cloud of ash I saw.
She must have been terrified. I wish I could have been there with her.
Wherever she is.
What would you want her to draw?
Seriously.
Put it up there.
-What are you giggling at, silly goose?
No, it's-- Is he talking to you?
Eden, you don't have a dad. I told you that.
Why are you connecting with that man? You're connected to me!
Erika! Hurry up! This whole railing is gonna fall!
You guys have made it impossible for us to get a job.
The world don't revolve around you. You missed too many check-ins.
-Can I just talk to someone? -Yeah. How about your cellmate?
Stop staring. They barely let you in here.
Gotta be hard working in a place like this,
watching how they treat people.
It's not my favorite, but you've been undercover before.
That was a band of wing nuts. This is a whole different ball game.
Yeah, it's the same kind of ball game that
had my grandmother being forced to sleep in a horse stall
at the Santa Anita racetrack during World War II.
I'm just doing for 828ers what I wish someone on the inside had done for her
before it came to all that.
Understood.
What happened to you?
I accidentally bumped into a fist.
Happens a lot around here.
I'm sorry.
Guessing you're not here for the cucumber water.
What gives?
I'm in a difficult situation.
He says to the guy in prison.
There's someone I'm helping,
and I don't know if I should be helping her.
I thought you helped everyone.
She must've done something pretty bad for you to question.
It's Angelina?
Oh damn. You're hiding manic pixie murder girl?
I was roped in by a Calling, and she has a child with her.
Ben Stone's kid?
I said they could stay for a night, but Angelina, she's erratic.
The little girl was drawing spiders,
and Angelina flipped out, crumpled the paper up. It was aggressive.
I think I need to turn her in.
Probably a good idea.
Although… she may implicate you in the murder.
I didn't do anything. She misinterpreted what I said.
You might get a sympathetic jury.
It's not like they're gonna seize your compound and arrest everyone, right?
I can't risk that.
What do I do?
You don't have a choice.
You need to keep Angelina and the kid at the compound hidden from everyone.
No.
You turn in Angelina, you put everyone at the compound in danger.
You make Angelina and Eden leave,
you put that little girl in danger.
Stay the course.
-Until we can figure something out.
Come on. Let's go.
Thanks.
We gotta stick together.
There aren't enough of us who know how evil the Callings really are.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
So, I'm trying to figure out
why you didn't wanna tell anybody what you saw or what you felt.
Would you reveal that you had an overwhelming sense of peace
while flying 200 people into what you believed was certain death?
They would never let you step foot in a cockpit again.
But why not try talking to the passengers?
I mean, we've all experienced things no one else understands.
But no one else saw what Daly and I saw. We were the only ones.
Actually, you weren't.
-Gabriel, I think that we-- -It's okay. We can trust him.
I'm Cal Stone.
I was on 828, and I saw the same thing.
I saw that light, and everything just made sense.
Huh, yes. That's exactly it. It all just made sense.
But it was in front of us. How could you have seen it?
I saw it out my window a while before the turbulence hit,
in the distance, this bright white glow.
Not how storms work.
They don't catch up to you while you're going 500 miles an hour.
Unless…
-Unless it was chasing us.
-Oh my God. -You didn't fly into the storm.
It flew into us.
It chose us.
Two years ago, I touched the tail fin and disappeared again.
I think I went back there, back into that light we saw.
I need to remember what happened. Please…
I don't know how to help you.
Well, you said you and Daly talked about it.
What did you discuss?
The calm, the confusion after the… the brightness.
We had a phrase for it.
A line from a poem about flying.
We called it the long, delirious, burning blue.
The what?
The long, delirious…
…burning blue.
Do you see it?
Isn't it amazing?
Why go back?
-My mom.
Something's happened to her. She's hurt.
You can't save her. You know that.
I need to go back for my family.
But if you go, you'll forget everything you see, everything you now know.
Let him go.
It's okay to go back, Cal. You already have the answer.
-Wait! You're supposed to be here.
No, he's not.
There's more to do.
I know what happened after I touched the tail fin.
I was back on 828 again with Daly and… and Fiona.
Wait. Are you sure?
Daly, he didn't want me to leave. He grabbed me.
Is that why he came back the same time as you? He came back with you?
Maybe. I don't think he meant to.
-Are you sure that's where you were? -I know it.
It was all so familiar.
Daly, he was worried.
-Worried I'd forget something. -What?
I'm not sure.
Fiona said I already had the answer.
It made sense at the time, but now I don't know. It…
-We're gonna figure it out.
Looks like my flight status has been magically restored.
I think that's the only thing today that's not magic.
You'll be cleared for takeoff in a couple hours.
Thank you.
Hey.
Let go of your guilt, Amuta.
Capt. Daly and Fiona, they're still out there.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad you grounded my plane.
It's not personal, I swear.
It's… it's for us. It's for the passengers.
Spoken like a true captain.
Flight 828 is lucky to have you at the helm.
I don't know about that, but…
I do.
Just say it.
Look, we checked every search on the computer.
Okay? It was all dead ends.
-What about the cell phone towers? -We tracked everything.
Look, we'll keep looking, okay, but for now…
Thanks.
We're gonna find her, Dad.
I know.
Mind putting this back up?
Not there.
It is a Calling.
It belongs with the rest of them.
It took me a while to start having faith again.
Callings just might save your sister after all.
Tickle, tickle.
Aw, what do we say?
Thank you.
You can stay for now.
You made the right decision.
Eden's our guardian angel.
This is our new home, baby girl. Our forever home.
I heard.
How are you holding up?
I had a Calling. It was awful.
Everything was swallowed by ash and destruction.
And then this happened. It was…
beautiful.
Like she was right here.
That's great. It means you're getting closer and closer.
Yeah, but why didn't the Calling just lead me right to her?
I mean, they've helped so many other people.
I don't know.
See, this is why you were so much better at leading the Lifeboat
because if someone were to ask you that,
you would have said something inspiring or reassuring there, and I…
I was a different person back then.
No. No, you're the same person.
You're just buried under a lot of grief.
828 wasn't an accident.
We're supposed to save the passengers together.
I'm having a hard time without my copilot.
I made a promise to Grace.
I swore to her that I would find Eden. I can't give up on her. I can't.
I wouldn't ask you to.
But I know we're gonna find Eden. I have no doubt.
So I just hope that when you fulfill your promise to Grace,
I get my copilot back.
Hey, Prof. Plain Vanilla.
It's been a long time.
Eagan.
I haven't missed you.
What the hell do you want?
It isn't about what I want. This is about what you want.
-Ben Stone, I have great news.
I know your little girl is alive.
I know exactly where you can find her.
