Michaela Stone : [voiceover] No one can explain what happened to us on April 7, 2013. Some people called it impossible. Others called it a miracle. All I know is... it was the day my life changed forever. If you'd seen us that afternoon, you probably would have thought we looked like a typical American family returning home from vacation. My brother, Ben, and his wife, Grace, still in love after fifteen years. Their twins, Olive and Cal, always bickering like an old married couple. And the real old married couple: my parents. Still in perfect health, still trying to run my life.
Grandma Karen : It's not just about you. This family needs something to celebrate.
Michaela Stone : Okay, that's a pretty backwards reason for a wedding, but...
Grandpa Steve : How's this for a reason? Jared loves you.
Grandma Karen : And I know you love him.
Michaela Stone : [voiceover] Typical, right? But what you couldn't see is that Cal's leukemia wasn't responding to treatment, or that Ben and Grace were desperately struggling to find a cure, or that I still had nightmares about the car accident.
-
Michaela Stone : Excuse me. T-There are sick people here. What exactly is the problem?
NSA Director Vance : The problem, ladies and gentlemen, is your plane departed Montego Bay, Jamaica, on April 7, 2013. Today is November 4, 2018. You've all been missing, presumed dead, for five and a half years.
-
Ben Stone : Mom's not wrong. Jared's not gonna wait around forever.
Michaela Stone : [sarcastic] Great marriage pep talk. Thank you.
Ben Stone : Why are you fighting this when all it's gonna do is make you happy? It's all we want for you.
Michaela Stone : That was really sweet of you. You must be drunk.
Ben Stone : Definitely. Say yes to Jared. Have a wedding and a honeymoon. Turn the page. It's time. And, yes, you deserve it. Truly.
-
Michaela Stone : [after the passengers are requested to de-plane on the tarmac] When do they ever do this?
Ben Stone : Never. Something's happening.
-
Michaela Stone : Where's, uh... where's mom and Jared?
Grandpa Steve : I texted with Jared. He couldn't make it over; work emergency.
Michaela Stone : And mom?
Grandpa Steve : Your mom got sick. She... she fought so hard.
Michaela Stone : What do you... what do you mean sick?
Grandpa Steve : She loved you kids more than life itself. You were everything to her.
Michaela Stone : No! No, no. I was just... I was just running with her on the beach. I came out here to tell her t-that she was right about me and Jared.
[breaking down sobbing]
Michaela Stone : No, dad! No, no!
-
Grace Stone : [Michaela notices a stitched throw pillow] Your mom made it after...
Michaela Stone : That cheesy verse was her mantra. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the last thing she said to me.
-
Michaela Stone : Look, I know you probably don't want, uh, Ms. Bad Influence hanging around the kids. I would get...
Grace Stone : Michaela, no. M-Michaela... this is your home. For as long as you'd like. That's ancient history.
Michaela Stone : It was two days ago for me. I am still the same screw-up that you said goodbye to in Jamaica.
Grace Stone : The universe just gave all of us a do-over. Everything that happened before goes out the window.
-
Jared Williams : You're so young. You look exactly the same.
Michaela Stone : Yeah. You look even better. I don't know how men do that.
Jared Williams : I'm sorry I didn't come to the airport. I'm lead detective on this abduction case. Every hour counts.
Michaela Stone : Detective? Wow.
Jared Williams : A lot has changed since you've been gone.
Michaela Stone : [he hides his hand as she notices his wedding ring] Who is she?
Jared Williams : Lourdes.
Michaela Stone : That makes sense. She always told me how lucky I was.
Jared Williams : Michaela, it was two years before I even looked at another woman.
-
Michaela Stone : [hearing a voice in her head] Slower.
[she looks around at the other passengers]
Michaela Stone : [hearing the voice again] Slower!
[to the bus driver]
Michaela Stone : Excuse me. Can you slow down?
[he ignores her]
Michaela Stone : Excuse me?
Bus Driver : Do I come to your work and tell you how to do your job?
Michaela Stone : [hearing the voice yet again] Slower!
[out loud]
Michaela Stone : Slow down! Now!
[he slams on the brakes, and just barely stops short of hitting a toddler fetching a toy ball in the road]
Bus Driver : How'd you see him coming? Lady! How the hell?
-
Grandma Karen : Michaela Beth, even people that have made mistakes deserve happiness. You know my favorite verse: "All things work together for good."
Michaela Stone : I don't believe that anymore, mom. How can I?
[voiceover]
Michaela Stone : Which is why, when I got the chance to stay away from home for even a few more hours, I jumped at it.
Airport Official : All passengers for Flight 537 to New York, John F. Kennedy Airport, your attention please. This flight is oversold. We are offering travel vouchers in the amount of $400 for anyone willing to take a later flight.
Michaela Stone : Yes. That's me.
Grace Stone : No.
Ben Stone : It's $400 per person. That's our next trip down to the Mayo Clinic.
Cal Stone : I'll stay with dad.
Ben Stone : [high-fiving] There you go. Man time.
Michaela Stone : [voiceover] So Grace and Olive and my folks took the first flight home, while Ben and Cal and I waited for Flight 828. Funny how one little decision can ruin your life. But also save it.
-
Michaela Stone : What are you doing here?
Ben Stone : Setting them free. I've been hearing it ever since I drove by here this afternoon.
Michaela Stone : You said I was losing my mind, Ben! Why'd you lie to me?
Ben Stone : Because maybe I don't want to be a circus freak! I don't have the time for it. I got to help Cal, find a god damn job, get to know my daughter, reclaim my life!
Michaela Stone : Do you think I am any happier about this? Who would want to reclaim my life, Ben? Part of me wishes we hadn't come back at all, but here we are.
-
Ben Stone : [about to break into private property] To be clear, this is a felony.
Michaela Stone : Yeah, I'm a police officer. I'm pretty sure I know what a felony is.
[the guard dogs begin barking]
Michaela Stone : Hey, what if they attack us?
Ben Stone : They'd be doing their job.
Michaela Stone : [when they open the fence, the dogs simply run away] That was bizarre.
Ben Stone : You think?
Michaela Stone : Now what?
Ben Stone : I don't know. But hearing a voice in your head one time is a fluke. Twice? Now happening to the both of us?
Michaela Stone : Not a fluke.
-
Jared Williams : Help me out here. Michaela, I got three detectives and eight uniforms waiting on my direction to find these abducted girls, and I'm here trying to put out your fire. Does this have to do with me?
Michaela Stone : Excuse me? How?
Jared Williams : I don't know. All right? Acting out, you know, trying to get my attention, get back at me.
Michaela Stone : You are such a guy. I break open a fence, and yeah, it's because you've married my best friend. Look, Lourdes is amazing. You're both amazing. I was gone. How can I blame either of you, right?
Jared Williams : Fine. Then what?
Michaela Stone : What? Huh. I don't know. How about the fact that I take off in a plane, and when I land, my mom is dead? Thanks for your condolences, by the way. How about the fact that I have no home, no phone numnber, not a single worldly possession at all to my name? How about that I lost five years, six months, and twenty-eight days of the world, of life?
[a tear rolls down her cheek]
Michaela Stone : How about... never mind that my lawyer convinced a judge that I was innocent. I will never, ever stop believing that I didn't commit murder when Evie died sitting next to me in my car. So, yeah, as I am standing here, I am trying to figure out whether or not I should be grateful for being back and alive or just guilty, Jared. Which is where I'm leaning.
-
Jared Williams : Michaela, I'm sorry about your mother. I'm so sorry about everything. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it all myself. Believe me. But I still need an answer. Why? Why did you and your brother break open that fence?
Michaela Stone : I can't explain it. I wish I could.
Jared Williams : Go inside and put some more clothes on.
Michaela Stone : Why?
Jared Williams : 'Cause you're coming with me to make this go away and save your career.
-
Michaela Stone : [after saving the kidnap victims for whom Jared was searching] Thanks for putting in a good word.
Jared Williams : It's the least I can do. So I suppose you're not gonna explain to me what happened here today.
Michaela Stone : Like I said, I wish I could.
Jared Williams : You still take my breath away.
Michaela Stone : Say hi to Lourdes for me.
-
Rector Dave Hynes : Welcome home. Ears burning much? You're the subject of my sermon this Sunday.
Michaela Stone : How do we know if we're the called?
Rector Dave Hynes : We know in our heart.
[she suddenly flashes to the plane at the airport]
Rector Dave Hynes : You okay? Michaela?
Michaela Stone : [indicating the Bible in her hands] Can I take this?
Rector Dave Hynes : As long as you put it to good use.

[last lines]
Ben Stone : You saved those girls.
Michaela Stone : We saved those girls. How'd you know I was here?
Ben Stone : I just... knew.
Michaela Stone : What is this? What is happening? How about this? There were a lot of people on that plane. Why you and me? What makes two head cases like us so special?
Ben Stone : What's the probability it's just you and me?
Michaela Stone : [over a montage of other passengers experience similiar headaches] And, of course, it wasn't just the two of us.
[they all arrive at an airfield and see the plane on the tarmac]
Michaela Stone : Ben and I didn't know any of these people yet. But soon, we'd know them as well as we know ourselves. As for whatever force brought us all here...
[the plane inexplicably explodes]
Michaela Stone : ...it had no interest in being investigated. And as for the group of us? This was just the beginning.

Sgt. Robinsons : As I live and breathe.
Michaela Stone : Hey, Sarge.
[he hugs her]
Michaela Stone : Getting a lifetime supply of hugs.
Sgt. Robinsons : Of course you are. Come back from the dead, you've earned yourself a hug. Didn't expect you getting back to work this fast.
Michaela Stone : Probably not quite yet, assuming I actually still have a job here.
Sgt. Robinsons : Technically, you still remain on desk duty. I'm guessing we can drum up a desk for you when you're ready.
-
Ben Stone : You all right?
Michaela Stone : Is your mind messing with you?
Ben Stone : [wry snicker] Where to begin?
Michaela Stone : Ben, I'm serious. Earlier today, I heard a voice in my head.
Ben Stone : What do mean, voice? Whose voice?
Michaela Stone : It was my voice, but it was talking to me.
Ben Stone : So, like a psychotic voice?
Michaela Stone : Can you not diagnose me right now and just listen? Look, normally, I'd go to mom about all this, but now I'm stuck with you.
Ben Stone : I lost my mom, too.
Michaela Stone : I didn't mean that.
Ben Stone : I know. Sorry. You want to know what I think? I think it sounds like you're losing your mind.
Michaela Stone : Yeah, of course you do.
Ben Stone : No, I'm not being glib. Keep it to yourself before you end up in a psych ward having exploratory brain surgery. What do you think, the government just sent us home and forgot about us? Who knows what they'll try in order to find out what happened? And I don't want anything to happen to you. That's what I think.
