"God Friended Me"...

Take that, old man!

Old?

I'm the youngest member

of the board
of your daddy's church.

Yeah, that building's
gonna be a game-changer.

And everyone in the community

is pulling for you, Terrence.

Just want to thank everyone

for coming out
and helping celebrate

my aunt and uncle
on their 25th anniversary.

I thought you were
enjoying yourself.

I was just putting on

a good face for our family.

I have it under control.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Sunday morning.

It means something different
to everyone.

Church, brunch, football,

hitting the snooze button
and waking up an hour later.

Truth is,

it doesn't matter how
you spend your Sunday.

What matters is who
you spend your Sunday with.

The people in your life.
Your village.

Your friends. Your family.

They're the ones behind you.

The ones you count on

that are always there for you.

Have faith in them.

Because when you do,
good things happen.

Having faith

in each other

is the true meaning of God.

That is the reason this church
stands firmly.

The reason we can build towards
a better tomorrow.

The reason, I am proud to say,

that Harlem Episcopal has
finally raised enough funds

to build our Children's Center.

Bam!

Arthur, that Children's Center

is a major accomplishment.

I'm sorry that Lena
couldn't join us today.

She's feeling a little
under the weather.

Everything okay with you two?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I know
what you saw at the party,

but we're good.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey. There he is.

- What's happening?
- Hey.

Miles, you are just in time.

I am one move away from
checkmating your uncle.

Your king is unprotected.

No, sir. See, what you call that

is a strategy, okay.

How's the marketing class going?

It couldn't be better.

I was, unaware that you
were back in school.

It'sit's
an extension course, Dad.

Uncle T hooked me up
with one of his professors.

- No, no, no, no!
- Check. Mate.

Every time...

You're lucky. I got this,
excuse me a second.

Yep?

Look, Dad, I was gonna
tell you about the class.

Yeah. Of course.

No, no, no, no, no.

That is not what we discussed.

All right. I'll be right there.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, just...

just gotta head down
to the construction site

and handle a couple things.

Y'all keep playing. Don't

let this man win, okay?
It's bad for his ego.

He seems stressed.

Your uncle's always got
a million things going on.

I'm sure he will be fine.

Everything okay?

So how'd dinner go with Eli?

Awkward at first, but...

then kinda great.

You gonna see him again?

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm still figuring it out.

You know, it's nice
to be able to

talk to you about
this kind of stuff.

It's nice to be here and listen.

Care Bear.

Dad?

Surprise.

I would have called,
but this is more...

Hello, Jeffrey.

Susan.

God, you should
have seen his face.

And her face.
I'm surprised you didn't

tell your dad, I thought
you two were close.

Yeah, well, we are.

But could you imagine
that phone call?

"Hey, Dad,
remember the woman who.

"Left us and never came back,

"Broke your heart into,
like, a million little pieces?

"Well, actually,
we've been hanging out.

"And like, totally bonding.

How are things with you?"

I wouldn't lead with that.

Can I just say something here?

It is truly refreshing
to see someone else spiral.

So thank you.

By the way, I sent
the God account's new firewall

to this old friend of mine.

If anybody can help
crack it, it's her.

Good, because whoever's
behind the God account

really upped their game.

I got a new friend suggestion.

It's for my Uncle Terrence.

Thing is, we're already friends.

God account's getting personal.

This is the first time
you've gotten a suggestion

for someone you know.

Do you have any idea

why they would have
sent you his name?

No. Terrence is one of the most

important people in my life.

And yet, somehow the God account

knows something is wrong
before I do?

Well, it's a good thing
you got his name, then.

You could figure out
how to help him.

Nephew.

Ha ha!

You in the big leagues now,
Uncle T!

Pretty impressive?

It looks amazing, really.

For the people who live here

built by the people
who live here.

Money stays right here

and it's all good
for the community.

What's happening, baby?

You, um, remember I told you

about the God account?

Yeah.

Well.

You gotta be kidding me.

Uncle T.

You and me, we have always been

honest with each other.

Is there something
you want to tell me?

We should talk.

So how does this usually work?

Well, it's different every time,

but you're the first
friend suggestion

I actually know.

And they sent you my name when?

Right after you took off
from the park.

Hey, you got a phone call
right before that,

something about work

and you seemed pretty stressed.

Is everything okay?

That was a permit issue.

I mean, that's already
been fixed.

But truthfully,

things have been
really stressful at work.

Terrence.

Conrad. Meet my nephew,
Miles Finer.

Reverend Finer's boy, of course.

Your father's been a role model
in our community

since I can remember.

Well, thank you, man.

Yeah, your uncle here
ain't too far behind.

That high-rise he's building,

that's gonna change things.

If you ever need anything,

give me a call.

No doubt.

All right, you two enjoy your
Sunday.

You as well.

Who's that?

This dude I grew up with.

Listen, I want to talk
to you, though, about...

something, and I want
to make sure that you

hear it from me directly.

Your Auntie Lena.

She's asked me for a divorce.

Wait, I'm...

I don't understand.

You guys just celebrated
25 years together

and now all of the sudden
she's asking for a divorce?

It's my fault.

Spend way too much time
at the construction site

and not enough time
with my wife.

Then just talk to her.

Okay, let her know that
things got away from you

and that you're going to
spend time with her.

I plan on doing more of that.

But I gotta get
this construction complete.

No. No, you can't wait.

I know it sounds crazy.

It's selfish, I know,
because it is.

But listen.

I've been working
my entire life to get here.

This is my shot

at a seat at the table.

I got a chance to make my mark
on this city.

To build something that will
stand the test of time.

Look, I just have to see
this through completion.

And I know I can...

I know I can get Lena back.

So your friend suggestion
or not,

I gotta do this my way.

Yeah, I'm sorry
you had to find out

about Mom like that.

Well, to be honest, um...

I knew the two of you
have reconnected.

It's sort of why I'm here.

You read my article.

Why didn't you say anything?

Well, I figured
since you didn't bring it up

you weren't ready
to talk about it.

And I wanted to give you

the space you needed.

But I couldn't stop
worrying about you.

Hey, I'm...

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I guess it's just...

when I tell you things,
that's when they become real.

And I wasn't really sure
I was ready for that.

You know,
when you were growing up

I would ask you every question
under the sun.

But I never brought up
your mother.

And that's on me.

I want you to know you can
talk to me about her.

I'm glad.

But I do need
to ask you something.

Okay?

Is Susan sober?

Dad. Yes.

For a long time now.

I had to ask.

I know how much she hurt you.

The both of us.

So I know you'll never
really be okay with this

unless you talk to her.

See for yourself
how much she's changed.

Maybe we could all
have dinner or something?

Fine.

But make it lunch.

I want dinner to be
the two of us.

They can't be splitting up.

I mean, they're Aunt Lena
and Uncle T.

That's what I said.

I'm gonna head over
to Lena's tomorrow

and check in on her.

Hey, well, what am I
supposed to do, Al?

Uncle T said that he does not
want my help.

But I cannot turn my back
on family.

Are you asking your sister

or the therapist?

Both.

Well, your sister would say

you should stay the hell
out of it.

I mean, Miles,
they've been married

for 25 years

and don't need their nephew

solving their marriage problems.

Okay, so what does
the therapist say?

She says

you've put your uncle
on a pedestal

your entire life.

Now you're scared of finding out

he's anything but perfect.

Marriages don't end
on a whim, Miles.

Your point?

That there's obviously

some things going on

that we don't know about.

Things maybe they don't want
us to know about.

I mean, some things
just can't be fixed.

But why did the God account
send me Terrence's name?

I don't know.

Maybe there's something else
in his life

you're supposed
to help him with.

Well...

that's all the time
we have here today.

And don't forget the ceremony

for the new Children's Center.

Dad would love to see you there.

Yeah, I'll be there.

All right, bro, see you later.

Okay.

So did your hacker friend

give you some insight
on the God account?

- Over email?
- Yeah.

Are you insane?

Hackers are
a paranoid bunch, bro.

- Not sure why.
- Maybe because

they're engaged in
criminal activity?

Not all hackers are involved
in something illegal, Cara.

Some of us just enjoy coding.

Right. Sorry.

I'm just tense about lunch
with Mom and Dad.

Mom and Dad. That is so weird
to say out loud.

Hey, you're doing
the right thing, you know?

Don't worry about it.

Maybe you're right.

But how are you holding up?

I mean, your aunt and uncle
splitting must be tough.

Well, Ali said that
I should stay out of it.

Right, but you're not going to.

Definitely not going to.

No, no, Terrence has always
been there for me.

And I know how much
he loves my aunt.

This must be the reason
why the God account

sent me his name.

Here you go.

So who are you guys waiting for?

Rakesh's hacker friend,

that's if she ever shows up.

Yeah, how do you know her again?

We met at MIT.

And trust me, she's legit.

Wait, there she is right now.

Let me do the talking, okay?

She can get intense.

So no eye contact.

No sudden moves.

None of that.

Ramen-Rakesh.

Lemonhead-Lucy.

I was just messing
with you guys.

This is Cara, that's Miles. Hey.

Rakesh said he had "friends."

I had to see it
with my own eyes.

Ha-ha.

So were you able to crack

the firewall he sent you?

No.

Whoever designed it

has some serious game.

You ever hear of Falken?

Yeah.

He's only the most
badass hacker ever.

He was developing
a new computer language

known as predictive code.

It's basically the
building blocks of real AI.

And then, about ten years
ago, he just vanished.

Went off the grid.

So you think the code was
written by this Falken guy?

It's possible.

Give me a day.

Let me put out a few feelers.

Maybe someone knows what rock

he's been hiding under.

What is it?

That's my Aunt Lena.

I'll be right back.

- Aunt Lena.
- Miles.

What are you doing here?

I came down to speak with Ali.

I was gonna find you next.

Is everything okay?

I'm gonna be, staying
with my sister for a while.

I'm headed upstate tomorrow.

Look, Aunt Lena, Uncle T
knows that it is his fault.

Okay? He still loves you.

And I love him, but sometimes
that's not enough.

I know you've always
looked up to him, Miles.

Aunt Lena.

Please. Please.

He can fix this.

No. He can't.

He's made decisions
that have jeopardized

everything we built together.

I'm sorry, Miles.

Take care, sweetheart.

Hey.

No, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

The problem was with payroll.

Okay? Your guys
are gonna get paid.

I just need a little more time.

That's what you've said
for two weeks.

I'm putting them on another job.

Come on, Tom. Tom.

Y-You can't do this to me.

YouTommy!

Uncle T, what's going on?

Miles, now is not the time.

Yeah, I can see that.

Come on, talk to me.

Uncle T, I just talked
to Auntie Lena.

Now whatever is going on,

you can tell me.

I'm broke.

I'm broke.

I mean, I put every dime
I have into this.

I've...

mortgaged my house...

Maxed out every...

line of credit. And the problems

just keep coming.

And coming and coming
and coming.

I can't make the next
bank payment.

It's over.

Well, maybe there's
something else you can do.

You can take out a loan...

No, no, no. I'm so far

underwater, I mean,
nobody wants to touch me.

That call I got this morning
was from the bank.

I asked for an extension and...

no.

They're gonna take it.

You know, after everything
that I've done,

after...

all the sacrifices...

with Lena...

It's gone.

- How's Uncle Terrence doing?
- Devastated.

- So what's he gonna do?
- I don't know.

I mean, the bank
is gonna foreclose today.

And I can't just sit back
and do nothing.

There must be something
I can do.

I know you want to help him.

But the kind of trouble
that he's in,

you can't get him out of.

Then why would the
God account send me his name?

There has to be a way.

Maybe I can go talk to the bank.

See if they would give him
another loan.

There is someone
you need to talk to.

But it's not the bank.

I'm sorry to drop in
on you like this, Dad.

Please.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Hey.

There he is,

my favorite nephew.

What are you doing here?

Terrence is helping me out

with some last-minute permits.

We start construction on the
Children's Center in a week.

And I want everything
to go according to plan.

Is something wrong?

I don't know.

Something the two of you
want to tell me?

Your son came
to visit me yesterday.

I'm sorry, I...

got him worried about nothing.

Nothing?

I was having a bad day.

On top of that I was having

a ton of construction problems.

It was a temporary setback.

Look, I-I apologize.

I should not have
dumped all my woes

onto this young man.

Don't worry about it, baby.

I woke up this morning

feeling like a champ.

I went down there, boom!

Got them straight at the bank.

But you said
that wasn't possible.

Well, that's exactly why

I don't talk to y'all folks
about my business.

Come on, you know I almost
lost this project

a dozen times?
It's par for the course.

I apologize
for all the dramatics.

But I promise you.

I promise you, I'm good.

I really think my uncle
is hiding something.

Why would he lie
about everything being okay?

I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't want my dad

to know how bad things are.

Yeah, or maybe
he fixed everything.

I mean, you said
he's a good businessman.

Yeah, she's right.

Yesterday could have
just been about

him feeling bad for himself.

No, no, I don't think so.

So what are you gonna do?

How hard would it be

to dig into my uncle's finances?

Just to see what's going on
with his business?

On a scale of one to ten,

like a two.

All right.

Miles.

Are you sure?

That's an incredible
breach of trust.

Cara, what other choice
do I have?

Okay, if I find out that things

have turned around
for him, great.

But if they haven't,
I need to know

what's really going on.

Okay.

I gotta go to lunch, but
you'll text me what you find?

I'll walk you out.

I have to head down

to the groundbreaking ceremony.

Yo, you can use my computer.

If you find anything,
please call me.

Well, that's great...

I got nothing to do.

I thought we should...

talk about things
before Cara arrives.

There's nothing to talk about.

If Cara wants to forgive
and forget, that's her choice.

I can't stop her from having
a relationship with you.

The only thing...

I hope is that you
really have changed.

I have.

If being sober
has taught me anything,

it's the need for honesty.

Jeffrey.

Cara's finally opening up to me.

We could have
a real relationship.

I can't jeopardize that

by lying to her about the past.

You're not gonna
jeopardize anything

because she's never
gonna find out.

Hey.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Let's eat.

So what looks good?

Not sure.

Me either.

So what were you guys
talking about

before I came in?

Nothing.

Mom?

Okay, well someone needs

to tell me what's going on.

Look, Cara. Um...

Things were difficult
after your mom left.

And it was a long time

before you were happy again.

And one day, when you were

in the eighth grade,

she came back.

Yeah.

Wait, how do you know that?

Because she came
to see me first.

And she claimed that she had
stopped drinking

and that she wanted to be
part of your life again.

And you told her no?

How could you do that?

Because I had heard it before.

The promises to stop,

the assurance that
things would be different.

They never were.

YouYou don't remember
all the times

she never came home.

I do.

And I knew that if she came
back into your life

and left it again,
it would destroy you.

Yeah, well, that wasn't
your decision to make.

It was mine.

I'm your father.
It was my job to protect you.

Protect me?

From what, the truth?

Cara. Listen.

No, no, no.

You know, I spent my entire life

thinking that my mother
didn't want me.

You know, that she didn't

love me enough to even try.

My whole life I thought that

she was the cause of that pain

but it turns out I was blaming

the wrong parent.

Cara...

Uncle T.

Hey, hey, hey. You showed up.

I'm so glad you could make it.

It's a great day, all right?

I need you to be
straight with me.

Is your business really okay?

Come on, I told you. We're good.

All right? The bank came
through with the loan.

No need to worry
about this, all right?

Just drop it.

Enjoy this day.

Rakesh.

Please tell me my uncle

got that loan from the bank.

Not quite.

He wired money out of

the Harlem Episcopal Church's
bank account.

Almost 600 grand.

Maybe your dad lent him
the money?

No.

No, he stole it.

Hey, baby boy.

So your idea

of saving your dream

is stealing from the church?

How could you?

Man, what are you talking about?

Where you getting that from?

I know you transferred
that money

from Harlem Episcopal.

I know what it looks like.

I know, I know what
it looks like.

I know what it looks like,

but it's just a loan.

A loan means someone

lent you the money

and we both know my father

did not sign off on that.

Shh, do not do that right now.

Okay? It's no big deal.

Listen to me. I'm going

to put the money back

before anybody even knows
it's missing.

Okay?

Hey, guys.

What's going on?

Tell him.

Or I will.

Terrence?

My business had a little
financial hiccup

and I needed to get
a little something

to get my guys back to work.

So... probably should have
asked you first,

but I took a little loan
from the church.

You did what?

It's from the Children's Center.

The money is just sitting there
in an account.

We don't have to make a payment

until the end of the month.

Okay? I will have it
back by then.

What were you thinking?

- Do you trust me?
- Trust.

You've already broken
that trust.

With the board,
with the congregation,

with the community...
I understand that.

But, look, I had to protect
my future.

Your future!

Arthur.

I will fix this.

No. You know what, see,

I've heard that before.

You know what?

You have actually left me

with no choice.

Because I have to tell
the board everything.

Then I'll go to jail, and...

No, no. Dad, Dad, Dad.

Let's talk about this.

Maybe we can figure
something out together.

Could you listen
to your son, please? Okay?

Arthur, if you do that,

they might blame you.
I am well aware

of the consequences.

I just wish to God
that you had been.

Miles, I know I messed up.

Look, I'm gonna make this right.

I'm gonna get the money back.

How?

You said there was no bank

that would give you a loan.

I know. There are other options.

I just need

a little more time.

Can you just talk to your father

and calm him down?

Miles.

You've always had faith in me.

Don't lose it now.

Let me guess, you're here

to plead your uncle's case. No.

No, I'm worried about him,
but...

I'm not here to defend
his actions.

I still can't believe he
would do something like this.

Yeah, well, I wish
I could say the same.

Wait, what do you mean?

A few years back, he was trying

to get another project
off the ground,

and I discovered
that he had taken a loan

from the church.
It wasn't a lot of money.

He put it back before
anyone else found out.

Of course I confronted him

and he said it was just,
you know,

a lapse of judgment that

would never happen again.

I believed him.

- So.
- You didn't say anything.

You know,

you are not the only one

that loves him, Miles.

Right, but, Dad,

if you go to the board.

Uncle T could go to jail.

And you could

lose everything.

So please, please.

Just give him some time
to put the money back.

He always comes through.

I'm sorry, Miles.
I am not going to repeat

past mistakes,
and I have to honor the faith

that my congregation
placed in me.

No matter the outcome.

So what are you gonna do?

No idea.

What are you gonna do?

No idea.

I never should have insisted
on that stupid lunch.

Yeah, because now you'll
never look at him the same.

You think your uncle
will ever get that money back?

I don't know how.

He's desperate.

He said something
about another option.

And what if he's gonna do
something he shouldn't?

I mean, what could be worse
than stealing from the church?

I don't know.

I just wish I knew what
was going on in his head.

I mean, you could
talk to your Aunt Lena.

- No.
- Trust me,

spouses keep secrets
they don't tell anyone else.

Yeah, you're right.

And she's heading upstate.

I need to catch her
before she goes.

Hey, I know that
you're mad at your dad,

but sometimes
we would do anything

to protect the ones we love.

I'll talk to you later.

Miles?

- What are you doing here?
- Lena.

I need to talk to you.

Uncle T is in trouble

and I need your help.

He took money from the church

and he can't pay it back.

He's done it once before.

I know.

It was when he was
just starting his business.

But he put it all back.

How?

Where did he get the money from?

An old business associate.

He's not the kind of guy
you want to

borrow money from.

But thankfully it wasn't much.

And he paid him back
before things got dangerous.

This time he borrowed
more than just a little.

I need to know who
he borrowed the money from.

His name's Conrad Taylor.

He lives in the neighborhood,
but...

I don't know where he is.

I think I do.

Wait. Miles.

If he's desperate enough to

take money from Conrad again

he's not gonna listen to you.

Listen to me, Terrence.

If you go down this road,

there may be no turning back.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

What choice do I have?

There he is.

Reverend.

Conrad. You mind if I,

have a word with
my brother-in-law?

- Alone?
- Not at all.

I gotta do it, Arthur.

I gotta make this right.

Not like this. Borrowing money

from a man like Conrad
is not the answer.

You don't pay him back...

I know how this goes.

It's the only thing I can fix.

Uncle T.

Do you remember the promise
you made to me

after my mom died?

You said that no matter
what happens

you would never leave me.

That family was a bond
that could not be broken.

And that no matter what...

we would figure it out together.

Now are you gonna break
that promise to me?

To my dad? To Ali?

To Auntie Lena?

We need you, Uncle T.

What about the money?

The only thing that matters
is where we go from here.

But we can't do that until
you get up out of that chair

and walk through that door
with us.

Please, Uncle T.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Thanks for meeting me.

Yeah, well, you're not
the one who lied.

Cara, he was trying
to protect you.

Yeah, well, it should have
been my decision.

I understand.

But you have one to make now.

You can either live in the past

or decide to move forward.

You know, he's always been

the one person
that I can count on.

That I could trust
to always put me first.

I mean, growing up
he was my hero,

but now it's like...

it's like I don't even know
who he is anymore.

All right,
I'm gonna say something,

and I really hope you don't
take it the wrong way.

But in the spirit
of total honesty...

that's ridiculous.

What?

Your father is the same man

you've always known.

The same man who was left

to raise a little girl

in an impossible situation.

Why are you defending him?

Because he was strong enough

to do something I couldn't.

I've been granted
a second chance

to get to know
an amazing young woman

who I'm lucky enough
to call my daughter.

You said he was your hero.

Heroes have it easy.

Heroes aren't real.

Being a dad?

That's real.

Have you spoken to Uncle T?

I've been a little busy
trying to figure out

a way out of the mess
that he made.

Is there a way out?

Honestly, I'm not sure.

I mean, if I can give
the board assurances

that the money will be
back in the account

before we break ground,

then maybe I can persuade them
not to press charges

against... Terrence.
Wait, what...

What assurances?

And how do you plan
to replace the money?

You're sitting in it.

You're gonna sell the house?

No. No, you can't do that.

There has to be another way.

There isn't.

And I won't send your uncle
to prison.

Let's just hope...

the board feels the same way.

I've got to get down there.

You mind if I tag along?

I'd like that.

Um... thank you
for meeting with me.

I stand before you
with a heavy heart.

Something has come
to my attention that I think...

Sorry I'm late.

What are you doing here?

Fixing this.

Reverend Finer has asked you all

to meet here today to...

inform you that...

I've embezzled money
from the church.

And my brother-in-law
had no knowledge

of anything I've done.

I take full responsibility.

So if you...

want to press charges,
then I completely understand.

And I will be, um, cooperative.

But before that, I just ask
that you look at this.

You'll see that all the funds

have been returned
to the account.

Now, this does not excuse

my poor behavior,

nor replace the trust

that you all
have instilled in me.

But at least it's a step

toward making amends.

Arthur.

We'd like a moment

to continue to discuss this
further with Terrence.

Would you mind waiting outside?

No.

Well, the board decided

they don't want
to press charges.

And they don't want to hold you
accountable for

my stupid ass mistake.

How did you replace the money?

And please don't tell me

that you went to Conrad.

- No.
- Then how'd you get it?

I sold my last little

remaining stake in the complex

back to the bank.

Guess I should have done that

a long time ago.

Arthur, I'm sorry.

I just hope you can find it

in your heart to forgive me.

The board wants to talk to you.

"Happy are they whose
transgressions are forgiven."

I'm proud of you, Uncle T.

You know, you did
the right thing.

You gonna be okay?

I've just been so focused on

getting my seat at the table,

I forgot that I already had one

with the people
that count the most.

Yeah, but you still do, Uncle T.

I sure hope you're right.

So what's next?

I'm gonna go upstate.

See my wife.

I'm gonna convince her I'm still

the man that she married.

Look, I...

I know you've always looked up
to me as a father figure

but let me tell you something.

You got a great man in there.

So I think it's time
you start looking to him.

And whoever started this
God account, you should...

if you ever find out,
you thank them for me.

And let them know
that they chose

the right man.

I love you, boy. Come here.

I love you too, Uncle T.

So what's the plan?

I thought none of your contacts
knew where Falken is.

How are we gonna find him?

Pop that in for me.

Okay.

That's,

that's the piece of

the God account code I sent you.

Exactly.

We use it as bait.

You want to find Falken?

Post it on the Internet.

Lure him out of whatever hole

he's been hiding in.

Make him come to us.

You ready for this?

Launch it.

Going somewhere?

I guess that's up to you.

You lied to me.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I told myself that I was
trying to protect you.

But the truth is...

What?

I was protecting myself.

After your mother left,

I didn't know if I could go on.

For all the anger I felt.

But more than that, I...

I felt so alone.

And terrified at the thought

of raising a little girl
on my own.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be sorry.

That look from my little girl
is what got me through it.

Wanting to be invincible
for you.

I don't need you
to be that anymore.

I know.

I can't believe you were
willing to do that

for Uncle T, Dad.

Well, it was a price
I was willing to pay.

Besides...

I owe him a debt.

What debt?

After your mother died

I thought seriously about
leaving the ministry.

I still believed in God,

but being able to believe,

and stand
at that pulpit on Sunday

and preach and tell people

that everything was okay?

I wasn't sure I could.

So I prayed.

And I prayed.

And one day while I was praying,

your uncle walked in.

And I told him
all of this, and...

bared my soul.

And you know what he said?

"Fake it until you make it."

He did not.

He most certainly did.
"Fake it until you make it."

But...

It was sage advice.

He told me I had
to go back up there

and if I started feeling lost

or angry,

that I should look down

and he would be right there.

And every Sunday

from that day forward

he was right there.

So...

After everything
that's happened,

everything that he's done,

I can't imagine giving a sermon

and him not being right there.

Smiling.

To Uncle T.

To Uncle T.

Life has a way
of turning things upside down

when you least expect it.

It tests our resolve.

Makes us question everything

we take for granted.

But sometimes
that's a good thing.

It's the only way
to move forward.

To usher in a new adventure.

And yet,

it can come at a cost.

But that cost

is a reminder
of what's truly valuable.

What's worth fighting for.

We are all tested.

But it is in our response

that we discover
who we truly are.

And who is willing
to stand by us...

In our darkest hour.

And sometimes

it shows us what was there
all along

that we just couldn't see.

Greg, move your head!
