Manifest

Previously on "Manifest"... So, your mom was Buddhist?

When I came back and she was gone,

I had my own mini Buddhist memorial rite for her.

I want you to have this.

I have something for you, too.

Professor Stone. Simon White.

- We're delighted you're considering us. - I'm glad to be here.

I'll get you all the information you need today.

Good, 'cause it's all coming together on our end.

If there's a chance to cure the Death Date,

- I have to figure it out. - Been hoping you'd reach out.

No, I wouldn't have bothered you. I just hit a wall.

- Can I at least say I'm sorry? - I loved you.

I think I did it. DNA has no anomaly.

What the hell is with all these passengers?

It's a trap. He lured us here!

Ben!

We will all be miracles

and transcend death just like you did.

Get her out! Go!

I'm coming back!

TJ found a journal.

He thinks it's about the Death Date.

TJ!

TJ!

Detective Stone. We found another body.

Nice and easy. Watch your back.

Up and over.

Here we go.

Male. Pretty tall.

Six lives total so far.

We're working closely with FDNY to gather more information.

And, yes, we are very much treating this fire as a crime.

Is it true that the passengers of Flight 828

were the intended targets?

That's our best guess so far.

Although a number of the fatalities and injuries

- have been non-passengers. - So, who torched the place?

Detective Stone's firsthand account indicates

this might have been arson committed by

a disgruntled member of the Church of the Believers.

Isaiah McCann.

This has those Xer sons of bitches written all over it.

Maybe these two are working with them.

I don't think so. You seem awfully certain.

- The investigation is ongoing. - You know something we don't?

So keep this information under wraps until further notice.

Suspected arson is at play.

As you can see behind me,

the community has rallied together,

bringing flowers, cards, candles...

Sweet of you to stop by, Simon.

It's the least I could do.

I'm sorry.

The phone calls, news coverage, it's nonstop.

Excuse me. Hello?

We took Cal to my dad's. It's just too much for him.

Any of us, really.

And as for Olive, well, it's...

I know TJ was a friend to all of you.

Everyone on campus is terribly upset.

Upset?! That is such bull!

- Olive! - No, I'm sorry.

Everyone at that campus thought TJ was a freak.

Nobody accepted him.

Nobody even knew anything about him.

And now they're all sad that he's gone.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I'll just get out of your hair.

Just gonna use the bathroom.

Yeah, it's through the door on the right.

A woman from the Bronx has found her sister...

- Do you really need to be watching this? - ...last seen at the nightclub,

being treated at Ed Koch Hospital.

It's just search-and-rescue still going on.

Alright, that woman just found her sister.

I mean, TJ could have made it out alive, too.

Recently, the National Fire Protection Agency

has enacted tough new code

provisions for fire sprinklers...

Will you please try? For me?

I'm not hungry.

Olive, you need to eat.

I'll make you something else.

Whatever you want.

Hey.

Simon, this is my sister, Michaela.

Mick, this is my colleague, Simon.

Nice to meet you.

You need anything, don't hesitate.

- I mean it. - I appreciate that.

Can I talk to you in the other room?

Wait.

Did you... find TJ?

Olive, let me talk to Aunt Mick.

No.

I have the right to know.

Please. Tell me.

Olive...

No.

No.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no!

It's okay. It's okay.

Look, our mission with Humanity First is simple...

To create a greater, safer, stronger nation

for us and our children.

The passengers of Flight 828 threaten that mission.

They've robbed banks. They've been accused of murder.

And rumors of their inhuman abilities run rampant.

Let us be clear.

These are 185 walking time bombs

working in our hospitals,

our universities, our police precincts.

Which one of them will be next to detonate?

We gotta get these bastards before they get us.

Be in touch. Very good.

I appreciate you attending.

I appreciate you asking.

Listen, just a heads up.

I wouldn't be surprised if people in your orbit

start to get interrogated about that club fire the other night.

I'm on the verge of exposing the 828ers for the threat they are.

Violence would make them sympathetic.

Why would I do that?

I'm not saying you would.

My sources tell me

it was a rogue member of the Church of the Believers.

Their leader disappeared, too.

Probably in hiding.

This is good.

We could use this.

False flag operation set by 828 sympathizers

to generate support.

Thank you.

You've proven quite valuable.

Happy to help.

Jared, one favor to ask.

A-A movement like ours needs all types,

but we've got some... impulsive members.

Your pal Billy for one.

He's quite effective at bringing new people to the movement,

but he tends to act without thinking.

Which could be detrimental to our goals.

Please keep an eye on him.

Yeah, if we could get a bed, please.

You need a bed?

Saanvi. Hey. Saanvi.

Saanvi. Yeah?

You okay? Yeah.

I've just been here all night. What's up?

The last thing I want to do is take you away from an emergency.

There's no one else to save.

They suspended the search-and-rescue.

It's just search-and-recovery now.

What?

Could I show you something?

If you could just take a seat, please...

Are you in any pain?

Nothing I can't handle.

But it's not getting better.

It's just like in the cave.

I think you might be right.

I may be freezing to death. Can you help me?

We need to get you to my lab right now. Let's go.

Sorry, Jared did what?

Defended the Xers.

At least that's what it sounded like to me.

He was insistent that

they couldn't be involved in the arson.

What?

I mean, the Xers didn't start the fire, but...

- But...? - I don't know. I...

My gut is telling me that Jared's involved in something

that could cause some serious problems.

You think he's in with the Xers?

Do you?

I hate to say it, but, yeah, I do.

I think he's leaking police intel to them.

He copied my investigations and then he lied about it.

- Are you kidding me right now? - That's all I have on him, so I can't...

Let's tail him.

I'm not there yet.

Do you want answers or not?

She seems okay, but I don't know.

My laying into her about Adrian and following the Believers,

I just created this giant void between us.

But you were right, Ben.

Everything you said to her.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it any better.

I told myself I was gonna make up for lost time,

but I just pushed her further and further away from me

since I came back, Grace.

I don't know what to do.

I think we need to give her space.

And who knows?

Maybe the time will be good for both of you.

What do you mean?
