Previously on "God Friended Me"...

- Miles Finer? - That's right.

I got a friend request from someone calling themselves

God on Facebook,

and they sent me your name.

I have been doing this for a very long time...

Yes, and now it's my turn.

I'm not sure I'm going to be helping Friend Suggestions anymore.

I've decided to go back to Chicago.

I am ready to be your wife as soon as possible.

The God Account brought you two together to test you,

to make sure you would sacrifice love

to prove your worth.

We can't let the God Account come between us.

It didn't.

Miles, you did.

You chose the God Account over me.

That's why I need to walk away from the God Account

and from you.

I love you, but it's over.

If I can figure out who's behind the God Account

then maybe I can convince them

to find someone else to take over,

and when they do,

Cara and I can be together.

Miles? I just got back into town.

The Friend Suggestions, they're not picked at random.

I found a connect connection between all of them.

Okay.

You said you have a lead on who's behind the God Account.

- I'm all ears. - Do you wanna call Cara first?

She's gonna wanna hear this.

Uh, actually, if it's about the God Account,

I think she'll pass.

What are you talking about?

Well, Cara and I broke up.

I'm sorry, Miles.

What happened?

It's a very long story,

but if I can track down who's behind the God Account

and tell them to find a replacement,

we can be together.

Wait, you wanna give it away?

Yes.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

Are you interested in reclaiming the job?

Absolutely not.

You didn't even think about it, Joy.

I didn't need to.

I stopped getting Friend Suggestions

when I decided to go back to Chicago

because the God Account knew that being a public defender

is what I'm supposed to be doing with my life.

However, I can help you find out who's behind it all.

I'm listening.

I came to town to interview a witness

for a fraud case involving a company

called New York Sun Insurance.

During discovery they turned over a list

of thousands of clients,

and when I was scanning it,

I recognized a few names.

Like who?

Every single one of your Friend Suggestions

from John Dove and Cara to Miguel Solano

are clients of New York Sun.

That's how the God Account

is choosing your Friend Suggestions.

It's actually genius.

- What do you mean? - Well, insurance companies,

they know everything about you,

from health records to hobbies.

He's right. Whoever's accessing

New York Sun's database,

there's a good chance

they could be behind the God Account.

This is the lead I've been looking for.

We find them; I get my answers;

I walk away.

The wedding's on? When did this happen?

Last night when I surprised Trish at the Blue Danube.

Congratulations!

Okay, so now we need to set a new date.

Actually, we already have.

What are you two doing this weekend?

- This weekend? - Yeah.

We'll be walking down the aisle

at Harlem Episcopal, reception's gonna be

at Trish's farm house,

and I gotta go 'cause I got a ton of things to do,

including coming up

with a very reduced guest list.

Oh, and... and please tell Rakesh and Cara

that they are of course welcome.

Yeah, I'll... I'll let them know.

- Thanks. I'll see you. - Mm-hmm.

Why didn't you tell him about Cara?

Because I don't want to bother him

with my breakup drama.

Have you heard from her?

No, I haven't.

How are you doing?

I can't imagine her not being in my life, Ali.

But thankfully I have a way to fix things.

What do you mean?

I might have a way to track down

who's behind the God Account,

and if I can find them then I'm gonna tell them

to give it to someone else.

But it means so much to you.

I mean, even you can't deny that you are a different person

ever since the God Account came into your life.

I mean, it's changed you, Miles, for the better.

Yes, it's changed me, but so did Cara.

Then you need to tell her that.

Make sure she's on board

so you're not doing this for nothing.

So how are you doing now that Paul's gone?

I know we're lucky he only got a year sentence,

but a year feels so far away.

Look, I'm here for you, whatever you need.

Thank you, sweetheart.

On a brighter note,

got an interview for an open nurse's position

at the hospital where I used to work.

Wait, I didn't realize you were thinking

about going back to work.

I have been, but now that Paul's assets are frozen,

I gotta do something.

If only the God Account had sent us his name earlier,

you wouldn't be in this position.

Paul made his choice, God Account or no.

Have you talked to Miles?

No, not since the other night.

Are you sure you two can't work this out?

I don't see how.

I can't be a part of the God Account

after what it did to our family,

and I can't ask Miles to walk away.

It's not like there's a third option.

Cara, I know you.

You've always been a fighter,

so why aren't you fighting for Miles?

Because this is a fight that I know I can't win.

So New York Sun suffered a major security breach,

but I couldn't really find anything about it online,

but I did find this.

What are we looking at, exactly?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, that is a backdoor

that whoever created the breach left behind

so they could secretly access client files

at New York Sun at any time.

So whoever set it up could be behind the God Account?

Precisely, and it shouldn't really take me that long

to trace it back to whoever created it.

Good job, Rakesh.

Hey, I got a Friend Suggestion.

Abe Cohen. Is he on the list?

Abe Cohen.

Yep, Abe is a client of New York Sun.

According to his Facebook page,

he lives in Brooklyn at someplace called Mount Gardens.

Looks like a retirement community

for independent seniors.

All right, I'll head down there.

Rakesh, you coming?

Uh, I'm gonna sit this one out.

I've got some tracing to do,

but how about you take Joy instead?

It'll be just like old times.

Hi, we are looking for Abe Cohen.

- That would be him over there. - I listen to you kvetch

about your daughter Elaine's boyfriend,

who, by the way, is not right for her.

- Thank you. - Okay.

But you can't do a small thing for me?

$80,000 is not a small thing, Abe.

It's going to take a couple days.

Jerry, it's my money!

Just sign the approval. Give me a check.

You know as well as I do when you moved in here,

you signed over guardianship of your finances.

Damn it, Jerry!

I need that money in the next three hours.

Three hours!

Uh, excuse me, don't mean to interrupt,

but is there any way that we can help?

- Who are you? - Apologies.

My name is Miles. This is Joy.

We were on our way to visit a friend,

but we overheard the commotion.

What? What friend?

Oh, it's not important, but I'm a lawyer,

and I specialize in age discrimination

so I was just trying to see if you wanted any help.

It's not age discrimination.

It's the rules.

I'm sorry. There's nothing else I can do.

If I don't get that money, I can never know the truth.

Wait, excuse me! Excuse me!

Uh, wait up. Excuse me!

Can we... can we talk to you for a second?

What do you want?

We want to help.

Your retirement community,

they can't restrict access to your money.

Jerry, he's just doing his job.

It's the community's way of making sure

the crazy old men don't drain their life savings

on a trip to Atlantic City.

Is that what you want the money for?

Of course not. I'm a Vegas man, myself.

- Oh. - I'm pulling your leg, kid.

Anyway, what's the difference, huh?

It's my money. Who cares what I spend it on?

I'll make you a deal.

If you tell us why you need the money,

I'll make sure that Jerry writes that check today.

What are you two? Some kind of a team?

Something like that, yes.

What makes you so sure you can get me my money?

I just defended a multimillion dollar case.

I think I can handle 80K.

We just want to help.

We promise.

Don't know why, but you seem believable.

All right.

Call me Abe.

Well, Abe, it's a beautiful place you have here.

How long have you lived here?

A couple years. It's all right.

- Ladies. - Hi!

- You seem pretty popular, Abe. - What can I say?

I still got it.

That plus the ladies like me

because I can still drive at night.

Yeah, Pearl would say,

"Don't let that go to your head."

- Who's Pearl? - My wife.

It was just the two of us. She died a couple years ago.

You wanted to know why I needed the $80,000?

Page 22.

A watch?

Uh-uh. That's no ordinary watch.

That's an 1885 solid gold Pierre Reno pocket watch

with a C engraved on the front.

Hey, it's beautiful.

And the C stands for Cohen.

It was my father's watch.

There's a picture of my family.

Those are my parents, Mendel and Molly,

and myself and my sister, Rose.

My father gave that watch to Rose to hide.

The last time I saw that watch was 1944

on the train to Auschwitz,

which is...

where both my parents died.

You're a Holocaust survivor.

Well, luckily,

Rose and I were able to jump off the train

before it got to the camp.

We ran into the forest, but, um, we got separated.

My whole life I've wondered what happened to her.

Where is she?

You ever try looking in the survivor records?

There's no trace of her at Yad Vashem

or the Shoah Foundation.

But I've never given up hope that she made it away

and lived her life just like I did.

And that watch, that's gonna give me my truth.

- How? - Once I buy it,

I'll be given the seller's information

and the chain of custody,

and that'll allow me to trace the origin,

and maybe find out, uh, what happened to Rose.

You know, if you have proof

that this watch belonged to your father,

I could make a claim on your behalf.

It's yours. You shouldn't have to pay

to get it back.

I have no proof,

but that's all right. I don't need it.

I'm gonna win that watch at auction.

Provided, of course, you can get me my money.

You two are gonna help me or what?

You held on to your end of the deal.

We will hold on to ours.

- Joy? - Yep.

I'm gonna go, uh, talk to Jerry.

Shouldn't take me too long.

Young man, why don't you sit?

Well, now that that's settled,

why don't you tell me what this deal is

with your Good Samaritan act?

It's not an act,

and if I told you what brought us here,

you would think I was crazy.

Oh, lucky for you, I like crazy.

You mean HaShem Himself is talking to you on Facebook

so you should help people?

Yes, except the God part.

You know, I'm not sure...

I believe a single word you're saying,

but since Joy got Jerry to release my money,

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, all right?

Believe me, Abe. It's true.

- Mm. - I can verify that.

I mean, if that's the case, then, uh,

I'm not sure that walking away on something like this

is a good idea.

You're a wise man, Abe Cohen.

Amen.

Listen, Miles.

If this Cara is the woman that you're supposed to be with,

then you'll end up with her. Mm?

You just have to have some faith.

After everything that you have been through,

how can you still have so much faith?

I get that question a lot, but,

well, I mean, the truth is,

uh, my faith was shaken after the war.

In fact, uh, I did lose it for a bit,

but it's like, uh, Bob Dylan.

Uh, excuse me?

Bob Dylan. First he's Jewish,

then he's not, then he is again,

but the whole time he's making music.

See, the... the thing about faith

is that it's always there for you

when you're ready to return to it.

All right.

Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen.

Good afternoon Welcome to Berkley's

and our 19th-century fine art, jewelry,

and watch auction.

We begin with lot 1C,

a rare, solid gold vintage 1888 Pierre Reno pocket watch.

Pristine condition.

And we will start the bidding at $30,000.

Who has the $30,000 to get us started?

Do I have $30,000? 30,000?

All done? Everybody happy?

Sold.

$90,000 to the bidder on the telephone.

Congratulations.

- It's over. - Moving on.

Abe, I'm so sorry.

The next item is lot 4C.

Charles X bronze mantel clock.

It's gone.

Can't believe it.

After 75 years, I find my father's watch

only to lose it.

Look, I know this is gonna sound crazy,

but the God Account wouldn't have sent us your name

if we couldn't help you.

Help? How?

Without that watch, we can't track down

what happened to Rose.

I spoke to the auctioneer.

The only thing he would say

was the buyer came from out-of-state.

Most likely a collector.

- Mm. - Abe, we are not gonna give up.

All I'm asking is that you don't give up, either.

Miles is right.

We've seen some pretty amazing things

happen to people who have faith.

So have I.

When I escaped that train from Auschwitz,

I remember I was walking for days

when this family that was in hiding

found me and took me in,

and they told me if I had faith,

that my sister was still alive

and that I would see her again,

as they had faith that they would survive

and make it to America,

and you know something?

They did, and they took me with them.

For 75 years, I've never forgotten that lesson.

So you're right.

Why should I forget it now?

Even if the watch has been sold,

the most important thing is the chain of custody.

Maybe we can see if Berkley's will show it to us.

We need to find a way to compel them to turn it over.

Well, why shouldn't we just tell them the truth?

That it was my father's watch,

no matter who owned it after the Holocaust.

The Holocaust.

There are residents at Mount Gardens

who drift off just like that.

The Holocaust Expropriated Recovery Act.

It allows people to claim ownership

over items that were lost or stolen

- during the Holocaust. - Good.

So how do we do that?

I need you to swear in an affidavit

stating the watch belonged to your father.

Yeah, I can do that.

Without any corroboration,

it probably won't be enough to gain ownership,

but if all we're asking

is to look at the chain of custody,

it might work.

Oh.

Oh, wait. I... I'm so sorry.

I have to go see Cara.

You guys got this?

Abe and I will work on the affidavit

- and text you later. - Yeah.

You're in good hands, Abe.

Good luck with your girl.

So, you hungry?

Might as well do this over lunch.

You know something?

You and I are on the same wavelength.

There is a deli right here that makes a brisket

that borders on spiritual.

Shall we?

Yeah.

Hey, thanks for meeting me.

Of course.

I think we may have a way of figuring out

who's behind the God Account.

What? How?

Joy has a lead...

an insurance company that is connected

to all of my Friend Suggestions.

- Joy? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's here working on a case from Chicago.

Cara, this is the break that we have been waiting for.

We figure out who's behind this,

and then I tell them to replace me

and we can finally be together.

Aren't you gonna say something?

Um...

Yeah, it's... it's just a lot to take in.

I... I know,

but I at least thought you would be happy.

I mean, you said that if I could find a way

to walk away from the God Account

without risking my Friend Suggestions,

- you would be all for it. - I know.

I know what I said,

but we've had leads before, Miles.

Pria, Simon, and Henry, and none of them worked out,

and honestly, none of them will.

So that's it?

- You're not even willing to try? - Miles,

how long are we gonna wait for something

- that may never come? - I don't know.

But I know that I love you and I don't wanna lose you,

and I thought that you felt the same way.

But if you don't, I need to know.

Miles.

Just the man I wanted to see.

Really? Why?

Well, planning this wedding

has put me in a very self-reflective mood.

I've been thinking about how much we've all gone through

this past year and a half,

how blessed I feel that you and I

ended up where we ended up.

Me, too.

Which is why I can't think of anyone

I'd rather have standing beside me than you, Miles.

Dad, you... you want me to be your best man?

Nothing would make me prouder.

Dad, I'll be honored.

What? What's wrong?

The reason I came down here to talk to you

was about Cara.

Mm-hmm.

We broke up.

I'm so sorry.

What happened?

She doesn't want anything to do with the God Account,

but she doesn't think I should walk away

and abandon my Friend Suggestions, either.

So what are you gonna do?

Well, Dad, I thought I had a plan to get her back,

but now I don't know where we stand.

I see.

Uh, it's Rakesh.

He has a lead on the hacker

we believe is behind the God Account.

- I gotta go. - Sure. Miles, um...

Don't lose hope about Cara.

These things have a way of working themselves out

when we least expect it.

I'm sorry about Cara, bro.

Dude, I just want to find out who's behind this.

You sure 4G is our hacker?

Yeah, I was able to back trace

the ISP to this apartment.

And the source is still up and running,

so whoever lives here, Miles,

was behind the hack into New York Sun

and also creating the backdoor to all the client files,

which means there's a good chance

they're at least involved with the God Account.

- All right. - All right.

Hi.

- Yeah? - My name's Rakesh.

I go by Neolicious online. You might have heard of me.

No. Should I have?

Well, you know, I got promoted at work,

so I haven't really been in the chat rooms

as much as I'd like. I used to be pretty active.

- Rakesh. - Sorry.

We know you hacked New York Sun.

We just wanna ask you some questions.

All right, look, man.

You decided to hack the system through the entry field?

Really? Sloppy.

Not if you know they don't use parameterized queries.

Ooh, so you did hack New York Sun, then?

Please. It's important.

It will only take a few minutes.

Let's get one thing clear.

I am not a hacker.

Oh, yeah. Me, neither.

I mean, not in the way you think.

I was hired by New York Sun to infiltrate their system.

It's more of a side job.

I make most of my money playing online poker.

I'm in the middle of a big hand,

so you wanna just tell me what this is about?

Something strange happened to me around the time

that you hacked New York Sun.

We were just hoping that you could shed some light on that.

I don't see how.

Who hired you?

I don't usually discuss clients.

You want answers,

you need to ante up with something.

Okay, let's try this a different way.

We know about the backdoor you created in the system.

You wanna talk about that?

Oh, I'm impressed, Neolicious,

only that backdoor wasn't for me.

Then who is it for?

It was for the person who hired me.

Guy by the name of Alphonse Jeffries.

He had just bought the company.

If Alphonse owns the company

then why would he need a backdoor

to access his own system?

So he'd have access to the files without anyone knowing.

Dude, whoever this Alphonse Jeffries is,

it sounds like he could be behind the God Account.

Oh, we actually have a real lead.

By the way, Neolicious?

Well, it was either that or FrodoHackins.

Hey, it's Joy.

She got Berkley's to agree to show Abe

the chain of custody for his father's watch.

Okay, you dig into Jeffries.

- I'll check in later. - All right.

Hey. How'd it go with Cara?

- Not good. - I'm sorry.

Here's something that'll make you smile.

The head of auctions is pulling the seller's information

and chain of custody as we speak.

- That's great news. - Yeah, I can't believe this.

I'm finally gonna get some answers.

Oh, uh, you know,

I don't know how to thank you two enough.

All right. Mr. Cohen,

um, the watch was sold by a collector

out of Amsterdam who owned it for 60 years.

Unfortunately, the earliest known provenance

is an inventory list from Auschwitz concentration camp

in 1945.

I'm so sorry.

Okay, thank you.

Auschwitz.

She never had a life.

Not any life that I'd hoped she would.

She died in hell all alone.

With nothing but a watch.

We're so sorry, Abe.

- Mm. - Is there anything we can do?

No.

I appreciate all your help,

but there's nothing anyone can do anymore.

Maybe we can track down the buyer,

see if they would sell you the watch.

Tell them how much it means to you.

I want nothing more to do with that watch.

I only wish I hadn't found it in the first place.

No, Abe, you don't mean that.

Like hell I don't.

Before I found that watch,

I had faith that Rose was still alive.

Well, you had to know the truth.

The truth?

The truth is, it's my fault that she's dead.

Abe, she died in Auschwitz. That's not your fault.

No, no.

I never told anyone the story about when we got separated,

not even my wife.

When we jumped from the train, we took off on foot.

I heard the shouting from the German soldiers.

It all happened so fast.

I lost my grip on Rose's hand,

and I got scared,

and I ran.

I ran.

And I got to the woods,

turned around, and she wasn't there anymore.

And then she was gone.

Abe, you were a child.

- You can't blame yourself. - Oh, yes I can.

I could have held on tighter.

I should have gone back.

I was her big brother.

I was supposed to protect her, yes?

Hmm?

No, I didn't.

And there's nothing you or your God Account

can change about that.

No.

So Miles is trying to give back the God Account,

and that's a good thing, right?

It means you two can be together.

In theory, yes,

but we've never really gotten close

to finding out who's behind this,

and even if we did,

I mean, there's no reason that they would just

let him walk away.

Isn't it worth trying to find out?

If I go down this road again

and it doesn't work out,

my heart would be broken twice,

and I don't think I could take that.

So that's what this is all about.

Oh, honey, I understand.

Believe me, I do.

I spent a big part of my life avoiding pain,

but the problem is, if you do that,

the best parts of life will pass you by.

Reaching out to me,

you risked heartbreak all over again.

And yet here we are.

Can you tell me it wasn't worth it?

It was.

So if there's some small chance Miles can pull this off

and there's hope for you two,

then I think it's worth taking that risk again.

Poor Abe. He waited 75 years to find out

his sister died in Auschwitz?

He blames himself for what happened to Rose.

I don't know how we can fix that.

Maybe there's something else we're supposed to do for him.

Yeah, well, this would be a great time

for the God Account to point you in the right direction.

Wait, no, don't bother. It's my phone.

And it's not the God Account.

It's just a reminder for my interview

with New York Sun, which is in 30 minutes.

- That can't be right. - When was it supposed to be?

I swear it was scheduled for later today.

I... I... I must have gotten the time mixed up.

- I'm sorry. I have to go. - Oh, speaking of New York Sun,

were you able to find anything on Alphonse Jeffries?

65 years old,

graduated from Howard University in 1979,

and a member of Spring Meadow Golf Club.

Also we've always assumed whoever's behind this

has some type of connection to you,

but I can't find anything online

that links the two of you together.

Maybe we dig into Jeffries the old-fashioned way.

What do you mean?

Come with me to my interview at New York Sun.

Maybe we can talk to him in person and ask him directly

what his association is with the God Account.

Don't you think it might be a little weird

if I just showed up to your meeting?

Hmm, every lawyer needs a good paralegal.

You got a suit?

Mr. Baker?

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm Joy Chen

from the Cook County Public Defenders Office.

This is my colleague Miles Finer.

I'm here regarding my fraud case out of Chicago.

So... I'm sorry but I thought our meeting was at 4:00.

You know, I thought the same thing.

You wouldn't happen to have a few moments right now?

Unfortunately I'm about to head into a meeting,

but I've already prepared everything

that you'll need for your case.

You're more than welcome to come back later

- if you have any questions. - I will do that.

In the meantime I was hoping you could introduce me

to Alphonse Jeffries.

His expertise would be very beneficial to my case.

I don't know how that'll help, but even so,

Mr. Jeffries splits his time

between here and the Hartford office.

He's in Connecticut today.

Sorry to interrupt but can I have a quick word?

Excuse me for a second.

Can I ask you something?

What are the chances both of you got the time

- for this meeting wrong? - Slim to none.

- What are you thinking? - Check this out.

It's a list of all of the companies

New York Sun does business with,

one of which is Berkley's Auction House.

You think the God Account somehow changed our meeting?

Maybe that's why the God Account

brought us down here early.

Sorry to cut this short,

but I need to get to my meeting.

Just one final question.

I couldn't help but notice

you're in partnership with Berkley's.

What exactly do you guys do with them?

We handle the consignment insurance

for all the items they sell. Funny you should ask.

The reason I stepped out was an out-of-town client

who just flew in to pick up a high-end antique

from Berkley's.

That item wouldn't happen

to be an 1885 Pierre Reno pocket watch, would it?

How'd you know that?

Any chance we could speak to that client?

Thank you.

- Oh, excuse me, Miss? - Yeah?

Uh, you were just picking up a watch?

- That's right. - Our friend was trying

to buy the watch that you won at auction yesterday.

We were wondering if you might

consider dropping your bid

so we could buy the watch instead?

I'm sorry but I can't do that.

Please, it's incredibly important.

That watch was a family heirloom,

and he's been searching for it for 75 years.

It belonged to his father.

That's impossible.

The... the watch belonged to my grandmother's father.

All right, you said you would tell me

what's so important when we got here.

All right, so we're here. Now what?

Abe.

I want you to meet Shayna.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you, too.

Shayna is in town from Florida to pick up the watch

that she won at auction...

the 1885 Pierre Reno pocket watch

that belonged to her great-grandfather.

But that's impossible.

Th... that would mean that you...

She's Rose's granddaughter.

She lived?

Yes.

How?

I thought maybe you could ask her.

Rose?

Abraham?

- Rose! - Oh!

- Rose! - Oh, my brother!

She was alive.

You survived.

- It's you! - Yes, yes!

I'm so sorry.

I should have held on tighter.

I should have gone back for you.

How... how... how did you survive?

Because you saved me.

I don't understand.

I saw the guards chasing you into the woods.

I saw you fall to the ground.

I thought you were dead.

No.

It gave me and so many others a chance to get away.

- But the watch. - The watch?

It ended up in Auschwitz. How did that happen?

Because I dropped it on the train.

- On the train? - Yes.

Yes.

- And here you are. - Here I am.

- And so are you. - Yes.

I always told the story of my brother,

the hero.

Mm.

I want you to meet my new friends.

This is Miles and this is Joy.

Hello, Miles.

- Hello. - Rose, we wouldn't be here

if it wasn't for them.

And hello, Joy.

Thank you so very much.

You're welcome.

Abe, it looks like a lot of people

came to see you.

You should go meet your family.

- Go, go. - Oh, my.

There's too many.

Wow. Yeah.

Much too many!

It's such a pleasure meeting you!

Oh, my God!

Clever! Clever!

I'm so happy for Abe.

It took him 75 years to get his answer,

but he never gave up hope.

He made me realize that I can't, either.

I want Cara in my life.

So no matter how long it takes to track down

whoever's behind the God Account,

I'm not gonna give up,

because I know it's all gonna be worth it in the end.

I just need to convince Cara of that.

Actually, Miles,

it might not take you that long.

- What are you talking about? - Well,

I did some more digging into Alphonse Jeffries

and turns out he's a veteran of the U.S. Army.

Served in Vietnam,

more specifically, 7th Cavalry Regiment,

5th Battalion.

I'm not following. What does that have to do with anything?

That's my dad's battalion.

Miles, this is the connection we've been looking for.

Well, this just got interesting.

Miles, I got your message. Is everything all right?

I just needed to talk to you about something.

Okay.

What can you tell me about Alphonse Jeffries?

We served in the war together. Why?

I know how this is gonna sound,

but I think he may be behind the God Account.

Miles.

I seriously doubt that's true.

Every single one of my Friend Suggestions

is a client of Alphonse's company,

New York Sun.

Think about it.

It would explain why you have been at the center

of so many of my Friend Suggestions.

Not to mention,

the God Account brought us back together.

Seems like a very personal thing to do.

Can you think of a reason why he would do that?

There is.

I saved his life.

It was one of my last days in Vietnam.

My unit was getting ready to evacuate

when we were ambushed.

Most of the troops were already gone,

so we retreated into the jungle.

Figured we'd wait it out until air support showed up.

Finally found cover when I realized

Alphonse wasn't with us.

It was almost dark. It was pouring rain.

I knew I had to go back.

I searched for several hours,

and by some miracle,

I found him wounded, but alive.

Maybe this is his way of returning the favor.

I mean, Dad, all I'm asking is for you to introduce us.

I will drive up to Connecticut

and meet him if that's what it takes.

Well, that won't be necessary.

Alphonse is coming to the wedding.

He'll be here in a few days.

- Hi. - Hi.

Do you have a sec?

I'm sorry about earlier, Miles.

The truth is the idea of waiting to find out

who's behind all of this scares me,

because I don't wanna get my hopes up

and have it not work out.

Neither do I,

but I have to hope that it will.

I completely agree.

You do?

What changed your mind?

I realized that some things are worth the risk,

no matter the odds.

Thanks for coming in.

- Hey. - Hey.

What are you doing here?

Liv told me you were down here.

Look, I came to apologize.

I spoke to Miles, and you were right.

As long as there's hope, it's worth the risk.

It is.

And I got so wrapped up

in what was going on in my life

that I forgot about how excited

you are about what's going on in yours.

Oh, you're actually here at the perfect time.

- What do you mean? - I got the job.

Oh, my gosh! Congratulations!

Thank you. I'm really excited about it.

I think it's just what I need right now.

Well, it looks like we both have something to celebrate.

- How about I buy you dinner? - Oh, perfect.

Let me go grab my start paperwork

- and we can get going, okay? - Okay.

_

Cara.

- Hey. - What are you doing here?

I'm waiting on my mom.

She actually just got a job here.

That's great.

What about you?

I'm just visiting a friend.

Okay, well, I'll catch you later.

- Yeah. Okay. - Yeah.

Actually...

I'm not here visiting a friend.

Ali, are you okay?

No.
