Manifest (2018) s03e05 Episode Script

- Previously on "Manifest" - Welcome to Eureka.
So, when were you gonna tell us you had a passenger's corpse on ice? It's only a matter of time before those lab coats out there figure out whose handprint was glowing on that tailfin.
They'll want to study you.
It's my fault.
The fin disappeared the moment she died.
Sanitation truck idles off-hours in a residential area? Maybe a cop saw something suspicious.
We spoke about the noise complaint.
- Do you have a description? - We have a problem.
Vasquez is getting too close to the truth.
You felt what Beverly was feeling? That is next level.
I'm spending my prom day digging into some Egyptian mythology.
This is Ma'at, Egyptian goddess of justice and the afterlife.
Think this will lead to finding Jace? All I know is that while he and Kory are out there, Cal's in danger.
I wish I'd been there for you.
At least we have each other now.
I was chosen to be with you.
But this second chance has an expiration date.
I feel like I'm drowning.
I'm literally puking water.
I tried to stop him.
Your brother shot him in the leg.
There are four days till your Death Date.
I think I know how you can find Jace.
You know the rules.
Gotta be out of the residential areas by 11:00.
Sorry.
Just finishing up.
I'll be done in no time.
Some pissed-off homeowner called it in.
Gotta write you up.
Can't you just say I was gone when you got here? Can I get your ID? Look, I'm I'm only late because my wife's boss kept her late.
Can't leave the dog alone.
Now they're gonna take this fine out of my check.
Lucky I'm a dog lover.
- Hurry up.
- Yes, ma'am.
Out of here in no time.
Finally.
Are you here about the loitering nannies? No.
No, ma'am, I, uh Yeah, my stoop isn't a convention center, and E-Excuse me.
You can't ride on the sidewalk! Sorry.
Not my jurisdiction.
Miss, I'm here about a noise complaint - you filed last December.
- Which one? You called about a garbage truck that was operating after hours.
You know, I called 311 easily twice a week last year, and do you know how many times they got back to me? You're the first.
Better late than never.
Look, I shouldn't have to post pictures online just to get a response.
Whoa, hold on.
You take pictures? Did you take a picture the night you filed that noise complaint? Wait here, and make sure she scoops.
Right where Pete said it would be.
I still can't believe you got him to turn on his brother.
I mean, after the abuse Jace put him through, I'm surprised he stuck around as long as he did.
Well, to be fair, they did spend three months of that time trapped together under a frozen lake.
NYPD! Stand down! Everyone stand down.
Nobody's home.
You're gonna want to see this.
What the hell? What the hell? Is that blood? So run-of-the-mill crazy or is this just 'cause you guys are magic? Either way, like every other man, he seems to be obsessed with you.
Some dried foot tracks outside.
Ballpark, I'd say he's been gone 24 to 48 hours.
Are you okay? - Hey! - Oh, my God.
- What the hell was that? - I-I can't explain.
- I'm sorry.
- Yes, you can.
You just don't want to.
I know you saw something back there.
- What was it? - Please, please do not do this right now.
I think I've done a pretty good job of turning the other way, but honestly, I don't know if I can be your partner anymore if you're not gonna be straight with me.
So, it's time.
The truth.
Right now.
Okay, and what if the truth is impossible to believe? You came back from the dead.
I dare you to try to top that.
We see things.
Visions.
We We hear things.
Who? The passengers? Those junkies? All of us.
We get these messages, these these Callings that we're supposed to follow.
From who? From God.
I think.
So, those hunches all those cases you magically solved, you're telling me you got tipped off - from G - Look, I'm sorry, okay? Some day, I will sit you down and I will I will buy you beers and I will answer any question that you have, but right now I need help, I need a friend.
Okay.
Yeah, what can I do? Look for Jace.
I-I need to go find Ben.
Okay.
Jace was all I had for so long.
And now we're both gonna die.
- Alone.
- You are not going to die.
Angelina it's supposed to happen tomorrow.
You heard Michaela.
If you follow the Callings, you can live.
Yours is coming.
It has to.
What if the the Calling is something that I shouldn't do? What if it's wrong? Pete, we get the Callings for a reason.
Just like we were brought together for a reason.
This is all God's plan.
I don't know if it is.
Hey, you can't think like that.
All things work together for good.
You need to focus on the good, on us, together.
Now, tell me, what's the first thing you want to do when you get out? I want to see the sun rise with you.
I want to hold you.
Pete Baylor? You're being relocated.
Stand up and place your hands behind your back.
What? No.
No, I-I need to be here! - Stand up.
- No! I need to be here with her! Pete! Now where are you taking him? Pete! Angelina! Pete, I'll find you! It felt like all three of them were there, and then he just came off the wall like he wanted to attack me.
Ben, I think that Jace is coming for me.
Okay.
Okay, he's got one day left, alright? You just need to hide out and you'll be safe.
You don't understand.
In the Calling, he was on a rampage.
I have to stop him.
I can feel it.
- Mick - Jace Baylor's not fading away, Ben.
The last time he tried to get me, he took Cal.
What do you think he's gonna do this time? We don't even know where this guy is.
Okay.
So we find him.
We We draw him out.
Guys.
This This painting I think these symbols were in the research Angelina and I found while looking into Ma'at.
The drawing.
It was Jace's Calling.
To what? To kill me? Ben, that doesn't make sense.
We've never had a violent Calling before.
I don't know.
Maybe it was just his interpretation of it, but if Jace had it, Kory and Pete must have as well.
I mean, think about it.
They've been sharing Callings ever since they came out of that lake.
I-If you're supposed to stop Jace, Kory and Pete have to be where we start.
It's a good thing they're in lock-up.
Not anymore.
Angelina just said some guys with FBI badges pulled Pete out of Rikers.
- What do the feds want - Damn it.
I told Vance about the Meth Heads coming back.
The caller you have dialed is unavailable at this time.
I'll go to Eureka, see if they got him.
Okay, I'll go to the hospital, see if Kory's still there.
Go to Grandpa Steve.
Stay by your phone.
No way.
I'm going to campus to check out these symbols.
Ol, I'm not gonna argue about it.
Jace Baylor is a killer.
You got to be somewhere I know you're safe.
Lieutenant, you keep asking about that park.
Okay, obviously, you've found something.
Nothing conclusive.
You promised you wouldn't keep anything from me.
Alright, there's a witness.
The night your mother disappeared, someone reported a garbage truck that was not supposed to be there.
So, what? You think she was dead in that truck? How? Who would have done it? I don't know, Sarah.
Look, we're we're trying to figure out an explanation here, okay? I'm sorry.
Actually, that's not a great update.
The license plate was registered to a private disposal company in Queens, alright? I'm headed there next.
I don't know what's worse not knowing or the feeling like you're gonna call me in a couple hours with the worst news of my life.
Hey.
Listen, we get leads all the time, alright? Most of them turn out to be nothing.
Just try to stay optimistic.
I told you, I don't know where he is.
Okay, it's no use protecting him, Kory.
He shot me.
I wanted to be done with Coach Hannity, but Jace wouldn't let it go.
I wouldn't protect that son of a bitch if my life depended on it.
I believe him.
I'm getting that same connected sense I got when we were with Pete and Beverly.
He's scared.
He knows he's dying.
Who the hell are you? I was there at the lake.
Remember? Something changed when you came out of that lake.
You're hearing things, having visions, right? And Jace is in them? Do you recognize this? No Kory, we we need to know what it means.
It was like a dream.
Jace was angry.
He knew we were dying.
And you were there.
We were where? Uh Come on, man.
We need to know what Jace is planning.
There were trees.
I think we were hiding.
But where? I can almost see it.
I He's going to kill you.
You need to hide.
Mr.
Baylor, we just want to run some tests to find out why your body seems to be breaking down.
I-I already said no! I don't want to be here! What the hell are you doing? You told us he'd returned.
You had to know we'd investigate.
You're okay with this? Ben, what do you want me to do? Take on the NSA? Look, Vance, I got to talk to him.
Get in line.
You can't just charge in here and demand No, no, listen, listen, listen, listen.
Mick had a Calling.
Jace wants to kill her, and Pete might be the key to stopping him.
We're in the middle of what might prove to be I don't give a damn what you're in the middle of if it endangers Mick.
I told you, I'm not helping with anything! Just take me back, please! This has got to stop.
Ben! Alright, enough.
Leave him alone.
- Stop it! - Pete, I need your help! Alright.
Alright! Yeah, that truck you're looking for went out that night.
It checked out about 11:00 p.
m.
and came back at, uh, 2:19.
Three hours, in the middle of the night? Is that normal? Detective, I got trucks coming in and out of here all hours of the day and night.
Can I talk to the driver? Uh looks like truck-only.
The client sent the driver.
Alright, so who's the client? No record.
Isn't it some kind of requirement for insurance, liability? - I mean, something? - Sure, with most clients, but part of what we do here is secure documents disposal, and some of my customers have contracts that are, well, classified.
What? Like the government? Something like that.
How about I just come back with a warrant? Good luck.
Is there anything you can tell me today? I'm sorry, man.
They pay me, I give them a truck.
That's just how it works.
And it's all designed not to leave a trail, right? You don't understand.
His brother is trying to kill my sister.
He might be the only way I can know where Jace is and what he's planning.
Mr.
Stone, we don't have time for this.
- We are already behind.
- Behind what? That man's body is deteriorating.
Every moment we waste is a missed opportunity to understand an inexplicable phenomenon.
Will you listen to yourself? We are not some kind of science project! Ben, I understand.
You're concerned about Michaela, - and I - Concerned? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm concerned.
A killer is hunting her, Vance, and you're more interested in progress.
I swear, if he hurts her or anybody else, there's gonna be blood on your hands.
I am a scientist, Mr.
Stone, always in search of the greater good.
The fact is that Pete Baylor is a unicorn, and unicorns need to be studied for the greater good.
Can I speak to the two of you? Excuse us, Doctor.
Are we still on the same side here? You really have to ask that? Yeah, I do.
Because as strange as it sounds, after my family, there's no one else in the world I feel closer to than the two of you.
So, yeah, I'm asking.
Are we on the same side? Yes.
Of course we are.
Then you'll take me seriously when I tell you this that woman is bad news.
Neither of you can see it because you're too close.
Ben, she's a scientist doing her How is this any different than what the Major was doing? Because no one is getting hurt.
I know you think the Callings are the only way, but we are so close to understanding the Death Dates.
Studying Pete could actually teach us how to survive it.
This has a chance to help all passengers, including your family, assuming we can get him to cooperate.
Let me talk to him.
Listen, you need Pete to submit to testing, I need Pete to help find Jace.
If I convince him to help you will you let him help me? Mm! Uh-oh.
Someone's in a good mood.
- Where have you been all morning? - Ah.
Working on the best idea yet.
Okay? What would you say to re-opening the family restaurant? Oh.
Uh Tarik, I Let me finish.
We can make it 828 themed, use some of this, uh, notoriety from the flight - to help promote it.
- Oh I know you're trying to keep a low profile.
Yeah, we're trying to avoid having any profile whatsoever.
Think about it you and me, Dad's recipes.
It'll be like old times.
Better than old times.
Uh Okay, can I have a couple days to think about it? - Sure thing.
- That is not a yes.
It's gonna be great.
You'll see.
Hey, come on, little man! Wanna game? If anyone can get through to him, it's Ben.
Yeah, I hope so, for his own sake.
Vasquez is onto the truck.
Starts asking questions, things are gonna fall apart.
Let me worry about that.
I need a longer leash if I'm gonna do my job.
Let's continue this later.
What was that about? Jared looking into the Major? It's being handled.
Vance if something bad is gonna happen because of my actions, - I have to confess.
- No, y-you do not.
Now, this isn't just about you anymore.
Emmett's involved, so am I.
I don't trust him.
You already have.
Look, he's gonna make it all go away.
I need you to go along with what these people are asking.
It's the only way they're going to let you help me.
Why would you want my help? You just want to get back at me for what we did to your son.
No.
No, no.
Cal said you saved him.
He did? Well I guess I did.
A-At least, I tried to.
We know you did, and, Pete, we are so, so grateful.
But now, I need you to help me save Michaela.
She's in danger, Pete.
Maybe you already know that.
Maybe you saw it? - In a Calling? - Mr.
Stone, we have an agreement.
Your Death Date's tomorrow, Pete.
You know that, right? I don't want to die.
But the Calling it wants us to hurt her.
I don't know what your Calling is, Pete, but that can't be what it means.
Angelina Angelina says you're a good person, and I believe her.
Why would a Calling want you to do something bad? I don't know.
Help me.
Alright, I'm going to, okay? But I need you to help me save my sister from Jace, and to do that Pete.
These doctors I need you to let them do their tests.
All I want is to be with Angelina.
I want to live.
Then let's make that happen.
Maybe Kory's right.
Maybe you should just hang back.
If Jace thinks it's your life or his, what's it matter how you survive? No.
Since when have the Callings shown us something we can't do anything about? I-I have to find Jace.
- I can feel it.
- Michaela, come on.
Why do you always have to run toward the danger? Because it's literally my job.
You followed a Calling into a frozen lake, so don't talk to me about danger.
Hey.
What's up? Didn't you used to live at 138 Hawthorne? Yeah, until a few months ago.
Apartment 414? - Drea, what's going on? - I got a Caucasian female, 20s, knife wound to the chest.
She's alive, but unconscious.
It was Jace, wasn't it? It was.
The camera in the entryway got a clear shot.
Neighbor down the hall heard yelling.
Mick, it sounded like he was looking for you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I gotta go.
I'm so sorry.
Jace just stabbed someone in my old apartment.
Hey, hey.
Hey, Michaela.
No.
You can't blame yourself.
Do you understand? This is not your fault.
Y-Yes, it is.
It is my fault.
Jace nearly killed someone trying to get to me.
He's not gonna stop until I stop him.
Whatcha doing? Trying to find something to impress your boyfriend back in Cairo? Can you not? Maybe you should try a more conventional first-year obsession, like philosophy or beer pong? Okay.
This is important, so can you cut the condescending crap for once in your privileged life and help me? Whoa.
Okay.
Tell me about these symbols.
Can you help? Yeah, uh, here.
Let's take a look.
Okay.
That right there? That's balance.
And, well, that's the symbol for life, and then Wait.
Wait, that's not possible.
Whoa.
Is this the papyrus TJ sent? I mean, the restoration is Is this some kind of joke? I mean, who put you up to this? I literally have no idea what you're talking about.
Okay.
Um well, then how do you have a drawing with the exact same symbols as a 2,000-year-old piece of papyrus that virtually no one on Earth, besides me, has seen in centuries? I don't know.
I swear.
Really.
Levi, what does it mean? I don't know yet.
I haven't finished restoring the original.
Then what are you waiting for? Keep going.
Alright.
Alright.
Saanvi, Jace just stabbed someone outside of Mick's old apartment.
- Oh, my God.
- How long is this gonna take? I came through on my end.
Now Vance and Gupta have to on theirs.
What is going on with you? Why does it feel like you're not here? Sorry.
I just Have you ever had the feeling you may have trusted in the wrong people? What the hell, Saanvi? This morning, you went to the mat for this place.
I just realized that I think there are other forces at play here I hadn't considered.
Thank you.
That makes two of us.
I'm so sorry.
I have to go.
- Mr.
Stone, we are still conducting - Come on, I came through.
Just give me five minutes, please.
Alright, Pete.
Now we got to help Mick.
Please, I I-I don't think I can.
Yeah, you can.
Look, I can help you.
Now, I need to know where Jace is.
You're his brother.
You had the same Calling.
What did it show you? I-I c I can't.
I-If I tell you, then Michaela's gonna go after him.
He wants to hurt her.
Your brother nearly killed an innocent woman because he was looking for Michaela.
You and I both know he's not gonna sit back and wait.
If Mick doesn't stop him, he's gonna go on and Jace can't be stopped.
Can't you see that? Please! I'm trying to help her! Enough.
Find what you're looking for? Uh, th this thing is is great, thanks.
You think they could do napkins in the shape of paper airplanes? What would something like that cost? You're really still on about that Montego Air-themed restaurant? T, your nephew was on that flight, not you.
Yeah, but we're tight, and my sister is an awesome cook.
You should have seen the spread she put out last night.
What do you think about menus in the shape of those in-flight safety guides? I think you're nuts.
And bartenders with drink carts itead of bars and a really expensive hamburger called "First Class".
Come on, Jay, please, just I need a team to after this guy.
Just give me a couple bodies.
Mick, you know I can't do that.
There's already a BOLO out for Jace.
How's it gonna look if I put you in charge of a search party? We wouldn't do that for anybody else in the department.
Okay, great, so while Bowers is out, you're in charge.
- Somehow, that is worse for me.
- That's not fair.
Bowers wouldn't have signed off on this, either.
You know that.
Where are you right now? I'm at home, looking after Beverly.
I had to cover for Dad until Thalia gets here.
No, Jace doesn't know where I am, otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to my old apartment.
Okay.
Perfect.
Then stay there.
Alright? I'll have a patrol unit come by the house.
Mick, look, I'm sorry, alright? You know protecting you is my top priority.
I actually just got a tip about the Major I'm gonna go check out right now.
Okay, great, thank you.
Mr.
Vasquez.
Mr.
Vasquez.
How are you, sir? Special Agent Fischer.
You want to do a ride with me, please? Jared! Jared! Jared! Wow.
This really isn't fast, huh? Tell me about it.
I've been at this for weeks.
Alright.
There we go.
Whole shebang.
Okay.
What am I looking at here? Is this the same as the shadows? - I - Yeah, I think so, but but but it's more than that.
You know, I'm I'm pretty sure this is a version of the famous etching called "The Last Trial".
Okay.
"'The Last Trial' depicts the story of three prisoners who were given a second chance to correct the mistakes they made in life.
The first prisoner used his chance to find love and was rewarded with a companion".
Pete.
"The second prisoner put past grievances to rest and was rewarded with peace.
But the third prisoner chose vengeance, and a river of blood was shed".
Pretty gruesome, huh? Oh, my God.
This is what's happening.
Happening? Happening to whom? How does this end? How How did they stop it? Stop it? No, Olive, um it's an allegory.
It's a lesson about redemption.
How is a river of blood a story of redemption? Because it was called "The Last Trial" for a reason.
It was a test.
If the last man had chosen to forgive his enemies instead of taking revenge, then he would have been rewarded, but he didn't, so Olive, please tell me you're not on campus.
Dad, I'm sorry, alright? I couldn't just This is not okay.
I explicitly told you - not to go to campus.
- Fine, alright? I'm grounded.
For life.
But please, just listen to me.
The Calling isn't telling Jace to kill Aunt Mick.
- What do you mean? - He's being tested.
It's a lesson about free will, about making the right decision.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
I-I-I already told you.
I am done talking about the Calling.
Alright, Pete.
My daughter found something.
Your calling isn't about Jace killing Michaela.
It's about him choosing not to.
I don't understand.
Pete, I don't have time to explain, but right now we have a chance.
We have a chance to save both Michaela and Jace, to save your own life so you can have a future with Angelina, but we have to hurry now.
Where was Jace in that vision? Please, Pete.
Have faith.
Up by the lake.
Where we came back.
Hey.
How's Beverly? Napping.
She wants me to make sure you drink enough milk with dinner.
Yeah.
Why not? Everyone else is telling me what I should do.
I'm sorry.
It's just I feel like a sitting duck right now.
How are we supposed to go Hello? Hello? Just me.
It's fine.
Just Ben.
It's Ben.
All good.
We're just a little on-edge.
- Did you lock it? - Yes, I locked it.
Great.
Let me help you unpack.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, Ben says Jace is up by the lake.
We gotta go.
Mick, Jared just told you to lay low and I'm going.
Are you coming? Yep.
What did you do with Jared? Saanvi, I told you, this is being handled.
You can't go grabbing people off of the street to cover up for something that I did.
If you don't tell me where Jared is right now, Vance, I swear to God, I'm gonna tell the world what we've done.
You brought him here? Your Kathryn Fitz investigation is a matter of national security, Detective.
You need to let it go.
See, I can't do that.
There's a woman missing and a daughter wanting answers.
Look, I know you guys are covering up Kathryn Fitz's disappearance.
I just can't figure out why.
What, is she out there gaslighting some other passengers? Kathryn Fitz is dead.
Murdered.
Do you know who did it? One of our agents found her body several months ago submerged in a bog 45 miles east of New Orleans.
Now, we suspect a foreign asset based in the region was responsible.
Now, I'm only entitled to reveal this to you because your continued investigation threatens to expose a whole host of classified matters.
It's time to stand down.
Let it go.
He doesn't know? As far as Powell or anyone else in the government knows, Kathryn Fitz was taken out by an enemy spy.
I don't understand.
Why not just make it look like she disappeared? Because then they would keep looking.
The only reason I was given control of this facility is our government's in an arms race with every superpower to find out what happened to 828, and in a competition like that, I'm their best shot.
And if they figure out that I killed the Major and you're covering for me? Then all this falls apart.
Saanvi, you did what you needed to do.
I followed suit.
That means we're in this together.
Did Michaela find him? Not yet.
She's on her way.
Don't worry.
Mick can handle herself.
She'll get him.
Thank you, Pete.
We couldn't have found Jace without your help.
I-I don't understand.
H-How did Olive know this was a test? By a painting? It's an Egyptian story called "The Last Trial".
She found it by these symbols in your brother's drawing.
Jace! Please! You don't have to do this! - You had a Calling.
- I know what's gonna happen.
I know where to find him.
No, Pete, it's fine.
Michaela's got this.
- She's going to - No.
I have to be there.
I-I'm the only one that can do it.
This is how I save my life.
I can be with Angelina.
A hall pass? You kidding? Vance, Pete had a Calling.
To stop Jace, I got to take him upstate.
This is outrageous.
There are still several vital tests What? You can test him all you want when he comes back.
- If he comes back.
- Exactly.
Pete Baylor is supposed to expire tomorrow.
How are we gonna study him if he dies while you're away? Alright, fine.
You can test me.
Whatever you want.
I'm a bit of a unicorn myself.
But keeping Pete Baylor here is a death sentence, for him and who knows who else.
Maybe my sister.
Come on.
You can't do this when they both have a chance to live.
Pete Baylor is a criminal.
You can't just I can send an agent.
He'll still be in custody.
I want you back in four hours, both of you.
Thank you.
You won't regret it.
This isn't a favor.
We have an agreement.
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
I was really hoping we'd find something different.
I think, um deep down, I already knew that she was gone.
How much she'd done I mean, that is still still can't wrap my head around.
Regardless, no daughter should have to go through what you went through.
Thank you.
You've been incredibly kind.
At least now I know the truth.
How did it happen? They wouldn't give me the details, said it was a matter of national security.
But they did give me this.
I wish I didn't know anything about what she did for a living.
That's not how you should remember her, okay? Not everything is black and white.
At the end of the day, she was your mother.
You have to believe that she thought that she was doing this to protect her country.
I know it's no comfort right now, but whatever happened to her this way, you know that she died a hero.
Yeah.
How do we even know he's here? Because he got the same Callings as they did.
Looks like we're on foot from here.
Lake's that way.
Now we just have to hope he listens to reason.
Come on, Mick.
He's got 15 hours to live.
We're in the middle of nowhere.
Can't we just wait till the sun comes up? No.
No, he'll see us coming.
There is a million ways in and out of this place.
If we let him go, how many more people is he gonna kill? Where you lead, I will follow.
Zeke, you don't have to come.
Hell, I don't.
I might not like you going into danger, but I'm not gonna let you go it alone.
Besides, I've been dead before, a couple of times.
I love you, you know? I do know.
Turns out I can sorta read minds.
Mm, that's true.
I love you, too.
Let's go get this guy.
You're the one with the gun.
Two guns, actually.
Maybe don't shoot me this time.
Hmm.
A few minutes, I promise.
I'm gonna grab some supplies.
Angelina.
You're still up.
Pete.
Angelina.
Hey, hey.
Seriously? What? I'm just doing my job, sir.
They're not hurting anybody.
Just give them a sec.
When they took you away from the jail, I I thought that was the last time I was ever gonna see you.
I still want to see the sunrise with you.
But if we're gonna see more than one I have to stop Jace.
What are you doing up? We got a big day tomorrow.
You gonna go home and see Daddy.
Hey, Mick.
Sorry, I know you're probably sleeping, but I thought you should know they found the Major dead.
I don't have a lot of details, but I thought I should call.
Anyways, good news for you.
At least you're safe on that front.
Night.
Found his campsite.
You see him? No, not yet.
Hey.
What is it? He's here somewhere.
I can feel his anger.
Okay.
I'm gonna sneak around the side.
Just keep a safe distance.
Zeke.
Where are you? Zeke!
