Manifest

Previously On "Manifest"...

You are not going to die.

If you follow the Callings, you can live.

Eagan? I'm Ben Stone.

I was on... Ben Stone, huh?

So you saw it, too.

There's no way to remember everything.

I remember everything.

You have a photographic memory.

Pete had a Calling.

To stop Jace, I got to take him upstate.

Pete Baylor is supposed to expire tomorrow.

How are we gonna study him if he dies while you're away?

You can test me. Whatever you want.

I want you back in four hours, both of you.

I still want to see the sunrise with you.

But if we're gonna see more than one,

I have to stop Jace.

Please. You can still make the right choice.

Oh, my God. It's happening.

No, no. Stay back.

I think we're okay.

It's not what we thought.

We didn't understand.

They all came back together.

And now they're all being judged together.

No!

This is your fault, Mr. Stone.

I didn't realize we needed to make it clear

returning Pete Baylor "dead or alive" wasn't an option.

This is not at all how I wanted things to turn out,

but I'm here to undergo testing as promised.

"How you wanted things to turn out"?

Three corpses encased in glass.

I read the NYPD report.

I've heard your NSA debrief.

But I want to know what really happened.

Okay.

After the clock ran out on Jace's Death Date,

what could only be described as his "soul" emerged

from his body and killed Kory and Pete,

even though we were certain they had done enough good

to survive their Death Date.

Finished.

I can start preparing his testing regimen,

which he will undergo tomorrow.

No need to plan that far in the future, Dr. Bahl.

What? Why?

Because once you assist in Mr. Stone's regimen,

Eureka will no longer require your services.

No, no. Excuse me.

Director Vance invited us here.

Which I understand, but you've become

more distracting than valuable.

You've yet to bring us any new information.

And you, Mr. Stone...

I don't see how you could possibly retain privileges

at a top-secret government facility.

No, wait. Listen.

Their dying upends everything for the passengers.

And I realize now that we need to explore every avenue

Eureka has to offer. It could lead to answers.

And those answers will be the property of the US government.

Thank you for your time here.

Doctor... My decision is final, Dr. Bahl.

I used to be a skeptic, too.

Only focused on science.

But once you've been a part of enough miracles,

you realize you need to give in and embrace the miracle.

You need to believe what happened out there.

I never said I didn't believe you.

Helluva way to close the Meth Head case.

Yeah. I just wish it would've happened without losing anyone.

Yeah, well, apparently, when the Callings close one door,

they open a window and a million questions come flooding in.

Is there a skylight or something?

'Cause I got a couple million questions of my own.

Welcome to my world.

What is he so smiley about?

Anyway, thankfully Bowers seems to believe

your take on what happened.

Yeah, thankfully.

Are you alright?

I'm the one who's overwhelmed here.

What the hell is that?

What the hell is what?

Oh, whoa.

A Calling in real time.

Um, I'll be back.

Okay, yeah. Uh, I'll be here.

We can't let her kick us out.

It's the worst possible timing.

Oh, it's confirmed.

The Meth Heads share a unique DNA marker,

just like how we share our own distinct marker.

Possibly explains why the death of one of them

led to the death of all of them.

So, by the same theory, on our Death Date,

even if one of us fails the test, we all die.

Yes, it would be consistent.

Any one of us could sink that Lifeboat.

Lifeboat.

That's got a certain fatalistic ring to it.

Anything useful?

More information on our three subjects.

Turns out they had unusual amounts of aluminum oxide

running through them.

Aluminum oxide.

There were traces on my hand and the tailfin,

but it's a common element, right?

Yeah, it is.

Okay, go home and regroup.

I-I've got to learn as much as I can

before they show me the door.

Alright. I'll be back in the morning for testing.

After that, we need to find a way to stick around.

This is about us.

Affects us.

We're gonna need a front-row seat or we're dead.

You from 828, too?

Yeah.

You seeing what I'm seeing?

What is this place?

What do you think it is, Sherlock?

Look at that.

Seems like I can't get anywhere near a Calling

without a Stone dropping by.

Who are you?

When it rains, it pours.

That's Ben Stone.

He's the one always reaching out to us

about the Callings and the Death Dates.

- Yeah. - Right.

So, I don't know about you, but I'm thinking that's some

kind of clandestine government facility.

I have no idea what we're doing here.

Or what's going on.

Maybe the real question isn't what we're doing here,

but rather, why isn't Ben Stone on this side of the fence...

With us?

Come on.

You've barely eaten in days.

You told me

if Pete solved the Callings, he'd survive.

I... I did.

What happened to Pete is something new.

Something that we're all still trying to understand.

I'm done trying to understand.

Angelina, I... I really...

I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but...

I'll help you all finish packing.

But when we're done, it's time for me to go.

Go?

Go where?

I don't know.

It hasn't been easy, but we're making good progress.

Well, there's no rush, love.

Take as much time as you need.

Honestly, the faster I get through.

Tarik's stuff, the better.

It's just too painful to be here.

How much longer?

Well, Cal, we're almost done,

but the sooner you help, the sooner we can go.

I feel terrible leaving you up there alone.

That's fine. The girls are here with me.

We'll manage. Besides, you need to bring us home some answers.

And I need to attend to our littlest one.

Love you. I love you.

So, I, uh, guess I know what Eureka looks like now.

What I don't get is why you were there today.

How'd you know I was there?

I was Called.

There was a huge, dark, ominous cloud hanging over the place,

and out of nowhere, you came out.

I wasn't the only one Called, either.

There was, uh...

She was Called. He was Called.

Uh, they were there.

Uh, actually, he...

Yeah, he was there and he said he knew you.

Acted kind of smug about it.

Son of a bitch. Eagan.

What does he have to do with Eureka?

What do... do any of these people have to do with it?

Maybe the Calling has to do with you.

Why would it be about me?

I mean, think about it.

All of these people got to Eureka

just in time to see you leaving.

You didn't get the Calling.

So, you tell me... why is that?

Come on, Mick. You know that there are

a million possible answers to that.

Or maybe just one.

Maybe we were Called to stop you from doing something.

Why were you at Eureka, Ben?

I was getting my baselines measured

to go into testing tomorrow.

Well, testing what?
