Previously, on "Manifest."
He's coming. He's almost here.
Maybe you're supposed to come back with me.
Go back where? Back to the world?
I'm not sure the world wants me back.
We need to figure out what Zeke's return
means for the bigger picture.
Ben just moved out. The couch is free,
so you can crash here for a bit.
I love you. It's always been you.
I can't get over what we did. It's not right.
We're supposed to be together, Mick.
Supposed to be or not, we're... we're not together.
You're with Lourdes.
Jared, what's going on?
I just need some time.
Where is she?
She's gone, Mick.
Why did you tell her?
I didn't have to. She already knew.
I want you to make him better.
There is nothing I can do to help...
Alice.
I saw a wolf. Or at least I imagined one.
You, too?
Aunt Michaela?
I need one of you down on the waterfront.
Recovery of the getaway vehicle from that armored-car heist
that went into the East River.
It's going on four days now.
The body's still inside.
Stay down! Stay down! Stay down!
Hey. Where are you taking him?
Mercy. I've got no room.
We got a uni riding with him already.
I can follow behind. But he can't go to Mercy.
- He's got to go to Ed Koch. - What?
- Nah. Mercy's closer. - No, no, trust me.
Koch has hyperbaric oxygen chambers.
For how long he's been underwater, he's gonna need one.
We're gonna reroute to Koch. Come on. Let's go.
*MANIFEST* Season 01 Episode 15
*MANIFEST* Episode Title: "Hard Landing"
The getaway car disappeared three days ago.
Authorities are speculating that sediment
at the river bottom obscured its location.
Now, incredibly, the driver's been pulled
from the vehicle, alive.
- This is Michelle Park... - A van disappears in a river for days,
then suddenly reappears, and the driver's okay?
I know.
Do you think...?
Why not? Zeke came back.
I mean, the question is, why no one
for an entire six weeks since the plane returned...
And then two in one week?
Nobody knows about me. Who's to say there aren't more?
It's Michaela.
Did you get a good look at him?
I just sent you a picture.
Ben, the guy was underwater for over 80 hours.
He should be a bloated corpse right now. He should be dead.
Maybe he wasn't underwater the whole time.
Maybe it's some kind of scam we're just not seeing yet.
No, you wouldn't be saying that
if you saw the way he just jumped out of his skin.
He jumped at me.
Which is exactly what Cal drew. The wolf.
You think this guy's one of us?
Meet me at Koch in 20 minutes.
Mick's headed to this hospital with this guys. I've...
Yeah, yeah. Go. The kids are asleep.
- I want answers, too. - So do I.
This guy wasn't on the plane?
If he's like me, I'm going with you.
30-something male recovered from the East River.
Breathing is shallow. He's barely conscious.
We started him on O2 and saline.
Heart rate is steady, BP 135 over 70.
You've got to wait out here, Detective.
We'll find you later.
Michaela!
Hey. What's going on?
How's this guy still alive?
I don't know.
What is it?
Cal knew he'd be alive. Or it seems like it at least.
- Listen, Jared... - Wait. Whoa, whoa.
You're saying he came back, like the plane?
Like you and Ben?
Yeah, it's possible.
He wouldn't be the first. Somebody else came back.
What?
His name is Zeke.
He walked out of a cave upstate...
One year after he disappeared.
That's why you were up there? Why didn't you tell me?
I should have, but I'm still processing a lot of this.
And there's a lot going on between you and me. I-I just...
You don't shut me out, either, Mick.
Not with something as big as this.
Somebody just came back, though.
Something is happening right now.
Detectives.
Detectives, I could really use your help over here.
I'll take care of it.
Ho Detectives, I could really use your help over here.
Hey.
Ambulance driver fell for the oxygen-chamber excuse?
Yeah. Good call by you.
Okay, let's see how close we can get to him.
Hey. This doesn't look very good.
It could've been a lot worse.
Excuse me. Let them through, they're with me.
So, what do we know? Has he said anything? Done anything?
He's in the E.R. right now. Mick and Saanvi are on it.
I don't think we've met.
Uh, uh, this is...
Zeke. From the cave.
Word gets around.
I got to take care of that out there.
So why don't you guys wait in this room?
Yeah. Sure.
You know what? Do me a favor.
Don't leave before we get a chance to talk.
What was that about?
Does he got some kind of problem with me?
Jared and Michaela were a couple.
He proposed. Then the plane disappeared.
Since we've been back, it's been... complicated.
I just got the incident report.
It says that the car went into the water Wednesday 11:06 a.m.
3 1/2 days ago.
And he got out tonight at what time?
9:14 p.m.
Michaela, that's 82 hours and 8 minutes.
828.
To help...
Hey. You okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm just... I'm overwhelmed I think.
Three days submerged and no sign of fluid in his lungs?
No respiratory impairment, no cardiac arrest, no hypoxia.
It's like he was never underwater.
Get them away! Get them away!
- Calm down! - No! No! No! No!
Get them away from there!
They're gonna die! I can see it!
Does that look familiar to you?
It's a calling.
Griffin, Griffin, what are you seeing right now?
An explosion! There's a fire! There's fire!
I see smoke! There's planes!
An explosion? Can you tell me exactly where it is?
- He's delusional. - No, he's not.
Can you step out of my E.R., please?
People are dying!
There's children! People are screaming!
Heart rate's spiking. Push 10 milligrams of midazolam.
No, no, no! W-Wait! Wait! Do not sedate him!
- Hey! - You two, out of here!
- No! Griffin, what are you seeing? - Gotta go.
- Griffin, where is this happening? - Come on.
- Griffin! Griffin! - Out, out.
And you're sure it was a calling?
He was having a vision, Ben.
It was... It was an explosion of some kind.
He kept saying, "People are dying."
Which means will be. And soon.
The callings have always been urgent.
How long will he be out for?
A couple of hours at least.
Hopefully we're not too late.
What do we know about this guy?
His name is James Griffin.
He's known for aggravated assault, armed robbery,
and, now, a double homicide.
Why does this guy get to come back?
Yeah, I don't understand. I thought the callings
were all about a bigger purpose,
but how does this guy fit into that?
And why now? Why two non-passengers
returning back-to-back?
Really? You're gonna lump me and Natural Born Killer in together?
No, no. I'm just saying, there has to be
a logic to his return, a reason.
Even if it's not for doing good.
Whatever it is, Michaela is somehow in the middle of it.
Cal's calling led you to me.
His next calling led you to Griffin.
Assuming Griffin's the wolf...
He's got to be.
He jumped out of the van at me, and...
I mean, it tracks. The calling wanted me
to help you understand it.
Maybe I'm supposed to help Griffin, too.
Even though he's a terrible person?
A terrible person with information
that could avert a disaster.
Fine. I need to test Griffin's blood.
See if he has the same marker as Zeke.
Hey, you should keep an eye on her.
She went through massive trauma. She's not doing okay.
Hey. Griffin's under guard. I put a couple guys on him.
I want to talk to him as soon as he's conscious.
Yeah, well, we've got some time.
Why don't you and I go for breakfast?
Um... Sorry to stick my nose in, but you gotta be wiped.
Why don't you find a couch while you wait?
Name's Zeke, right?
Yeah. Mm.
Zeke what? Jared.
So you were upstate when you returned?
Is that right? Is that where you're from?
- Can we not do this right now? - Just
want some answers. That's all.
Y-You got a murderer in the next room,
maybe you ought to be thinking about that.
All right. This was special.
Um, Zeke is my friend.
Jared is my partner.
"Partner"? Wow.
Why don't you go back to the apartment?
Uh, you know, I got something I gotta take care of.
Pleasure to meet you.
Are you serious right now?
You have a random stranger staying in your apartment.
Y-You gonna put up Griffin next?
Zeke and I have been having the same calling for about a week now.
I have been led to him. We're trying to figure out why.
That is all this is.
Jared, come on. Please try and understand.
Griffin. Can you hear me? I'm Detective Stone.
I was on site when you were pulled out of the water.
I'm... I'm in the hospital?
Yes. But somehow you're fine.
Do you remember what happened before?
You were talking about an explosion.
You saw something.
Can you tell me about that?
That happened?
The bombing happened?
Bombing?
We think that's it's going to happen,
but we think that we can stop it.
Griffin, look at me.
You need to focus right now, okay?
Do you recognize me?
I was on Flight 828.
I was supposed to die on that plane, but I came back.
And ever since I have, I have been hearing things
and seeings things, just like you did.
We refer to them as callings.
You have... You've just had a calling.
Was it day or night in your vision?
It was dark.
Okay. Were you in a city? Were there any landmarks?
Anything that might help us identify
the location of this bombing?
I'm a little lost here.
I get it, but there's not a lot of time, okay?
What did you call it?
A calling.
You've just had a vision of the future.
I don't understand. How is that possible?
Dad, I put Griffin on my board.
Do you think he's the wolf that Cal drew?
He might be.
But the police have him now, so don't worry, all right?
- Mom and Cal okay? - Yep.
Cal's making a pretty cool art project for school.
Popsicle stick Art the Dragon.
- Cool. - Here's Mom.
Hey.
So what do you think?
Is Griffin just like you and the other passengers?
He might be.
He had a calling. Something about an explosion.
- Where? - We don't know.
They sedated him, so we have to wait for it to wear off.
Okay. Is there anything I can do?
Nothing yet.
I'll be home soon.
I love you.
I love you, too. Ben?
Yeah?
I'm so glad we're a family again.
Me too.
So all you passengers. You've all been having visions?
Some of us.
Sometimes it's a phrase or a command.
But whatever form it does take,
it's telling us something important.
Vital. And it has to be followed. Always.
And what you see or hear... it always comes true?
Yeah, pretty much.
That's incredible.
In this case, Griffin, it could stop a bombing and save lives.
Which is why you need to tell me exactly
what you saw, every detail.
So if I'm saying that a bomb's gonna go off...
if I'm the only one who knows where...
Do you know where, Griffin?
Then I'm the only one who can save the day.
Son-of-a-gun.
Let's go. On your feet.
I'm in the middle of an interrogation right now.
Got to finish in the box.
He's got a green light for transpo, so we transpo.
I'm glad we talked, Detective.
I'll be honest, I thought I was going crazy.
But it's true.
A lot of people are about to tragically die.
Griffin, you work with me, it'll only help your cause.
A double-homicide charge? That's tough to beat.
I don't think those charges are gonna stick.
Once the D.A. hears I know how to stop a mass murder.
And if this "calling" really is what you say it is,
I'll be sleeping in my own bed tonight.
Looks like I got myself a get-out-of-jail-free card.
He claims there's gonna be an attack tonight, in Midtown.
That's all he said? Midtown?
He'll provide the precise location
in return for full immunity on the murders.
Agent Dayton is FBI.
We have to take this seriously.
His claims line up with an alert that went out this morning.
The NSA's been picking up chatter about a terrorist attack.
We got that, too.
I have to run this up the chain.
Talk to the U.S. Attorney.
Full immunity's no joke.
If he says anything more...
Of course.
Vasquez.
Perp steals $75 million, kills 2 guards,
now claims to have information on a terrorist threat?
- He does? - Yeah.
I need you two over at the bank.
They've got an eyewitness.
Take a photo array, we need an I.D.
I think Griffin is credible.
I think he might actually know something.
The same way you know things sometimes?
Yeah. Look, Captain, we can't let this happen. This immunity.
He's literally gonna get away with murder.
It's out of our hands. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney...
Look, let me talk to him one-on-one, okay?
Try and get under his skin. Make a connection.
Cap, I'll handle the bank.
If she really thinks this guy's legit,
then let's let her do what she needs to do.
Hey, it's me. I really screwed up.
Why? What happened?
I told Griffin about the callings.
And I assumed that he wouldn't be receiving them
unless he was gonna do the right thing.
But now he's gonna exploit them.
He's not gonna tell us what he saw
unless he gets to walk on the murder charges.
Oh, my God.
Look, Mick, there's no way you could've known that.
We've been so focused on following the callings,
we never even contemplated somebody abusing them.
Yeah, surprise.
And in the meantime, the media is starting to ask questions.
- Ben? - Yeah?
Come look at this.
Reddit's on fire.
Believers, Cody's people...
Everybody's linking it to 828.
Listen to this, from Reddit...
"And now a violent criminal"
has joined the ranks of the passengers.
"He's no different than they are."
Look, I could really use your help right now.
- Name it. - I don't have time to do research.
The U.S. Attorney is gonna make a deal with this guy any second,
and then we'll be out of time.
Okay. You think his calling has the kind
of specific information they need?
Yeah. He saw an explosion... And I think he saw where.
Okay, what kind of research do I need to do?
I'm gonna send you Griffin's police record.
He's been in and out of jail since he was 15 years old.
But I-I need more than his rap sheet.
I need something to work with.
I need something human, something personal.
Right, something that'll make him think twice
about exploiting the callings.
All right. Got it.
Ben.
Great. Cody.
Okay, this whole thing has just been taken up a notch.
James Griffin is the proof. These people are dangerous.
And don't forget Ben Stone, okay,
came to my place of business and physically assaulted me.
And now one of them's a murderer?
We need to take care of them before they take care of us.
You need to get on your Twitter,
get on your Facebook, get on your Insta...
All right. I got to move fast. See what Griffin knows.
If he gets free, it'll just rile up people like Cody.
Then they'll come after all of us.
And not just with bricks.
Let us help you.
It's just research that you need, right?
You have a whole team right here.
Grace, are you sure we want to expose Olive to... to this?
Olive is already exposed to this.
And besides, who can work the Internet better than a teenager?
Fair point.
All right. Let's do this.
I had the thing again. The calling.
Oh, yeah. That's not gonna leave you alone.
I'm not gonna talk about my deal...
No, you played me. Good work.
Your natural instinct kicked in, and you took advantage
of somebody who was trying to look out for you.
Just gotta be me.
Do you? Can you be someone else?
I mean, you just got a second chance at life.
You can be anyone you want.
Sure, Detective. Tell me who I can grow up to be one day.
You know, I keep thinking...
you never really had a chance.
No parents, so you went into foster system at five years old.
In and out of juvie after that.
First arrest... 15, first prison stint... 19.
There's nothing in here about your parents.
Did they die?
Or were you taken from them?
I mean, drugs and alcohol?
Abuse?
Am I close?
Have you got my first kiss in there, too?
I mean, it's a pretty typical situation, actually.
No family to speak of, so you fall into the wrong crowd.
There's all kinds of families, Detective.
Mine was every bit as real and strong as yours.
Clear the hall. Move.
Head back up.
Excuse us, please.
Well, here's something. He was constantly on the move.
Brooklyn, Long Island, Queens.
He must've been moving from foster home to foster home.
Huh.
He had a brother.
Look at this.
I went to the Wayback Machine.
It's a site that archives old websites that no longer exist.
There was this thing called Myspace, it's hilarious.
Griffin had an account. Look at this.
Long conversations with his "brother."
Some guy named Devon Carrick.
Not his biological brother.
Must've been an older friend? A mentor?
Or a foster brother.
And then right here...
"Brothers forever. Rest in peace."
May 3, 2004. Does it say how he died?
No.
But if he had someone he loved pass away,
that could be the connection to Zeke.
And what connects both of them to Michaela.
Evie.
Michaela's still trying to forgive herself.
Here it is. Obituary. Okay.
"Always in our hearts." Here we go.
"Fatally wounded at the Rochester Correctional Facility."
Survived by his "family," in quotes.
James Griffin, Angela Graham.
Can you... Already on it.
I mean, there must be like 100 Angela Grahams.
It's such a common name.
Yeah, but only one Angela Graham plus foster care.
Look at this. She has a Linkedln page.
All of her foster-care stuff is on here.
Stopped in 1999.
- Huh. - Wait.
Griffin was in Newark until '98.
Now she's in Harlem. She runs a food bank.
She might know something helpful.
Something Mick could use to break through Griffin's shell.
Convince him not to make this deal.
I'm gonna go see her.
She's more likely to talk in person.
- Wait, it should be me. - Grace.
She might recognize you, and she'll have her guard up
because of the news. We need to stay under the radar.
And besides, I'll be able to connect with her.
Mother to mother.
I can't deny that.
Okay. Do it. I'll text Mick.
Why don't you tell me about Devon Carrick?
Where did you get that name?
Was he in your family?
I'm not talking about this.
I'm just trying to figure out
how we're all connected, Griffin.
Tell me about Devon. Where is he now?
I said I'm not talking about it!
Sir, let me see your hands.
Come on down.
Dr. Bahl?
Hi. Uh, how can I help you, Doctor...?
Matthews.
I was actually wondering if I could do something for you.
I saw you earlier, in the hall.
Oh, I-I'm fine. I just had allergies.
I-I know I'm being intrusive,
but what I saw wasn't allergies.
There's nothing wrong with talking to somebody.
I'm more than happy to make a referral.
I'm fine. Thank you.
Okay. If you say so.
Sorry to intrude.
No, it's fine.
What's going on?
Look what the cat dragged in.
Caught in an attempted break-in.
- Residence in Forest Hills. - What?
It's not like that, okay? You got the wrong idea.
- Of course we do. - Excuse me.
Do you mind if we...
- Sit. - Okay.
No, you can't book him.
Michaela, I know guys like Zeke, okay?
I got my badge doing 18 months of buys and busts.
I can practically smell the junkie on this guy.
That is such a leap, Jay. You don't know that.
He's refusing to identify himself.
He won't even give us his last name.
Come on, Michaela. I'm trying to protect you.
I know you are, Jared. But this is not how you do it.
Zeke was brought into my life for a reason.
Come on, Mick. Listen to yourself.
You don't think that about Griffin.
So you're just gonna sweat out one criminal,
while potentially giving another one a free pass?
Zeke is not like Griffin.
Okay.
I know you want to believe that that's true. I do.
But, Mick, these callings you're having, they're blinding you.
- You know next to nothing about this guy. - You know what? I don't...
I don't have time for this, okay?
Please, just whatever you do, do not book him until I free up.
- Michaela, I can explain. - I can't deal with this right now.
Whatever the hell is going on, please just explain it later.
I know what you're going through.
I was responsible for the death of my best friend.
She was practically my sister.
What are you talking about?
Devon's file. It's all right here.
It was supposed to be simple, right?
You and Devon were gonna pop in, grab some cash.
What happened?
You know what happened.
You have the report.
The victim was another customer.
Just some guy.
Do you remember what he was buying?
Powdered doughnuts.
So he turns around and sees two men in ski masks
walk into the store.
Decides he's gonna be a hero, whips out his gun.
Two shots right in the chest.
I know how the story ends.
Right, so Devon goes to jail.
Murder one. Because he's the shooter.
And we know he's the shooter because...
that's what you told the police.
I guess my question here is...
is that what really happened, Griffin?
It says you cut a deal.
The first perp to turn gets to frame the narrative, so...
- I don't want to do this anymore. - No, of course you don't.
'Cause you sent Devon to prison, and that's where he died.
You were the shooter, weren't you? I'm done talking about this!
And you've carried that shame with you for 15 years.
I know because I have carried the same shame.
Griffin, we are all connected.
That is why you came back, I'm sure of it.
You're not the only one.
We have all been given a chance to start over.
This is yours.
Detective?
The U.S. Attorney signed off.
W-We're making the deal?
Our terrorist unit has corroboration from an asset.
Some event in Midtown, they think within the next couple hours.
AUSA's on his way.
So whatever you're doing, you need to wrap it up.
If he's still on his way, then we have time.
Look, I'm getting close, Captain.
Please, don't tell him that we've taken the deal.
Just let me keep pushing, okay?
Okay.
Quick as you can, guys. We have a lot of mouths to feed.
E-Excuse me. Angela Graham?
Hi. My name is Grace Stone. Do you have a minute?
There's a donation box inside.
Oh, no.
I need to talk to you about James Griffin.
You were his foster mother?
- I told the Post, I'm not... - No,
I'm not a reporter.
I'm a little busy here.
James Griffin is a threat to my family.
To my children.
It's a long story, but I need to know what I'm dealing with.
We can talk over here.
Truth is, James Griffin was just awful.
Griffin had one friend in the world,
and he lost him.
Devon Carrick?
Devon treated him like his little brother.
This was taken the summer I took the kids canoeing.
Griffin lied, said he could swim.
His canoe tipped over, Devon dove in,
and pulled him right out.
He saved his life.
A month later, they were both in juvie.
Two years.
They never came back home again.
I honestly thought Griffin was long dead...
until I saw the news.
I know it's inappropriate...
but I'm not sure I want Griffin to go free.
Maybe not everyone deserves to be saved.
Saanvi?
Hey. What's going on?
I just don't feel like myself.
I'm jumpy. I keep having these episodes.
And I know what it is, intellectually...
PTSD.
The symptoms are classic, I know that,
and I know I should talk to someone, and I will.
Hey, hey. It has only been one day.
You know...
don't be so hard on yourself.
You'll get through this,
and in the meantime, we're all here for you.
Whatever you need.
Griffin's blood work, it just came back.
He's got the same blood marker.
Just like us, just like Zeke.
Damn.
Well, there's our proof.
All this time, I thought we were on the cusp
of some earth-shattering discovery about us that'll...
I don't even know what.
But that it would be good.
I don't think that anymore.
I can't help but think that we're on verge
of discovering something awful.
- I didn't have a choice... - Or maybe you betrayed
your friend to save yourself. You cut a deal,
you got away with murder, and Devon paid the price.
We're done here.
I don't give a damn about Devon Carrick, never have.
Talk to my lawyer.
Seems to me like you did care about Devon.
How did you get that?
Griffin, you made a deal that ruined your life.
You are about to do it again.
Tell me what you saw in that calling.
Tell me what is going to happen.
You did not come back from the dead to get away with murder.
That is not what this is about.
That's enough, Detective.
You have the chance to put this right.
People's lives are at stake.
Please.
Detective, let's go.
It was nice chatting with you, Detective.
Thank you.
Yeah, well, I'm ready for that explanation now.
You want to tell me why you broke into that house?
It's my mom's house.
Oh.
I mean, I'm glad that you went to see her, but...
most of the time when people go see their mom,
they just knock on the door or ring the doorbell.
I couldn't just show up.
There's too much history.
I wanted to make sure she's, I don't know, in a good place,
you know, t-that she's strong enough to see me again.
I thought if I could get inside,
maybe I could... Maybe I could tell.
Zeke, she's your mother.
I caused her a lot of pain.
I broke her heart. More than once.
Knocking on that door is just gonna break her heart all over again.
I want to tell you everything, and I will.
One step at a time.
I'm not like that guy you've got holed up, Michaela.
I need you to believe in me.
I-I-I think I came back here for a reason, too.
I-I'm just trying to figure out what that is.
Let's go.
You're releasing me?
What about your Boy Scout? He's not gonna be happy.
Yeah, damn right he's not.
So prove to me that I made the right choice.
Look, you came back to make things better.
So start with yourself. Go see your mom.
Come on. Can you walk him out?
You released him?
He doesn't belong in there, Jared.
I trust him.
Because he had a calling?
Mick, what if another person comes back?
And then another? And another?
Are you just gonna trust them all?
I don't think that's what you're really upset about.
Look, you have every reason, but...
Come on. Leave Zeke out of it.
What is it?
Griffin just used a calling to literally get away with murder.
What more could we have done to reach him?
Maybe he couldn't be reached.
Grace, what if we're wrong?
About what?
Everything... Zeke, the callings...
Everything I've been doing is based on the notion
that there is some kind of benevolent power behind them.
But what if there isn't? What then?
What are we a part of?
What if it's not about the callings themselves?
What if it's about how people choose to use them?
The wolf.
Griffin.
Once a predator, always a predator.
But then, why... Why would a calling
be given to someone like that?
Someone irredeemable?
To show us we can use the calling for evil
just as easily as we can for good.
And get away with it?
Oh, good.
I was worried I wouldn't get a chance to say goodbye.
Griffin, I've seen what happens
when the callings are exploited, or abused.
Detective...
your thinking has been far too narrow.
These callings are capable of so much more.
I'm gonna take them to a whole new level.
Mr. Griffin, you're a very lucky man.
Assuming your information bears out, we have a deal.
So tell us, where's the bomb hidden?
I hope you don't get yourself in a twist.
Everybody, move back!
Clear. We're clear.
Hey.
Hey, you okay?
Mick, they diffused the bomb. We're good.
No. We're not.
