- Previously
on "God Friended Me"...

- I'm running
the God Account code through

the IdentitySeal server.

- What the hell happened?
Dude, does this have something

to do with the
software you were running?

- No.
Maybe.

- Can I have everybody's
attention?

IdentitySeal has been sold.

- To who?
- Simon Hayes.

- Simon Hayes? He's like
the Bill Gates of A.I., dude.

What if Simon Hayes is behind
the God Account?

- When your mother
was in the audience,

I played every note for her.

- It may be time for you
to play for someone else.

If you want it to be for Trish,

that's okay-- Mom would want you to.

- You're DJ Trek?
- I also go by Nia.

- Miles.

Cara and I are just friends.

- I can't help but think that
there's more to that.

- Everything okay?

- Nia just
broke things off with me.

[DENM's "Good Thing"]

♪

- My podcast is up 13%.

Finally.

♪

"After a few episodes,
I can't stop listening."

"Excited to know who's behind
the God Account."

[knocking at door]

- Surprise.

- What's with the bags?
Is everything okay?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

Uh, found out last night

my building's being
fumigated today.

Is it cool if I crash here
for a couple days?

- No, of course, of course,
as much as time as you need.

Where's Dee?

- She is at a dance workshop
in Chicago.

So, lucky for you,
it's just me.

- Okay, yeah, I...

[chuckles]
I see what's going on here.

- What?

- Al, I'm fine, okay?

Yes, I miss Nia,

but this is not
my first breakup, okay?

I don't need a shoulder
to cry on

or a babysitter

or my little sis taking time
to psychoanalyze me.

- My building really
is being fumigated.

- Really?
- [chuckles]

Sorry to break it
to you, Miles,

but not everything
is about you.

- [chuckles]
- Oh, look at that.

I did have the time
to psychoanalyze you.

- Oh, okay, look,
I'll take the couch.

The bedroom's all yours.
- Thank you.

[gentle music]

- This place feels different.

We need to be on high alert.

- For what exactly?

- I don't know,
but you really think

Simon Hayes buying IdentitySeal
is just a coincidence?

- Bro, look, I admit the timing
is strange,

but he's a tech billionaire.

He probably buys tech companies
all the time.

- Exactly.
It's like the perfect cover

to spy on us,
see what we know.

Uh...
Donald.

Bro, that's my desk.

- Not anymore.

New management just reshuffled
desk assignments.

- Oh, so everyone's
got new seats?

- Actually, so far,
it's just you.

Your new desk is now
over there.

Also, they want to meet
with you tomorrow.

- Why?

- Don't know.

I only ask questions
if it impacts me.

[suspicious music]

- What do you think management
wants to meet with you about?

- No idea, but whatever it is,

you can be sure
Simon Hayes is behind this.

♪

- Lord, we thank You for this,

our blessed food,
for Your grace,

as we are ever mindful
of the needs of others.

Amen.

- Bon appétit.

- I'm sorry that I had
to cancel our last date.

Um, a parishioner called.
They were in crisis.

- You don't need to explain.

I mean, I can't even imagine
what it's like

having so many people
depending on you.

- [laughs]
Well, thank you, but still,

I know it can be frustrating.

- I'm not gonna lie.
I...

I would love
to see you more,

but, look, life is busy--
I get it.

I'm a mom of two.

I'm the sole owner
of a music store.

[both laughing]
I mean, I've had to cancel

my share of plans myself,
trust me.

- Yeah, you would think after
25 years, it would get easier.

Well, maybe one of these days,
I'll take a break.

- Hmm.

You know...

I have a farm upstate,

and I haven't been in a while.

Why don't we get away?

- That sounds very nice.

I can't even remember the last
time I've been out of the city.

- Well, I think fresh air
might do you some good,

and I can pick you up Sunday
after services.

- Ah...

[stammers]
It sounds wonderful...

but Sundays are hard for me.

Maybe...another time?

- Sure. Sure.
Yeah, another time.

- I'm telling you
something strange is going on.

First, they want
to separate us,

then they want
to meet with me.

- If Simon Hayes really is
behind the God Account,

why wouldn't he want to meet
with Miles?

I mean, no offense,

but he's the one
the God Account friended.

- Speaking of Simon Hayes,
have you heard from Pria?

- No, and how do you know
about her?

- Because I listen
to your podcast.

It's getting good.

It's like "Serial," only
with people I actually know.

- Hmm.
[both chuckle]

- Maybe the new management
wants to meet with you

because you're good
at what you do?

- Doubtful. Last week
I put a customer on hold

when I heard there was cake
in the break room.

- [laughs]

- Okay, not about customer
service.

I mean, with computers.
You're a good coder.

- Yeah, no, no, she's right,
and you also did apply

for that I.T. job last year.

Maybe it could be about that.
- You think?

- I mean,
what seems more likely?

Simon Hayes buys an entire
company just to spy on you,

or someone at IdentitySeal
thinks your skills

would be better off in another
area of the company?

Occam's razor--
well played.

[cell phone chimes]

- Oh.

Oh, got
a new Friend Suggestion.

Felicia Washington.

[cell phone chimes and buzzes]

Wait, that's weird.
I just got another one.

Jas--
[cell phone chimes and buzzes]

- Another one?
- Yeah.

[cell phone chiming
and buzzing]

- Whoa.

- Uh, bro,
is your phone broken?

- No, I don't think so.
- How many are there?

- We just got
76 Friend Suggestions.

[cell phone chimes]

- Jennifer Frost,
owner of a clothing store

on Frederick Douglass
Boulevard.

- Doris Ehrlich--
70 years old, retired.

- Wait. Didn't we get
another Ehrlich?

- Uh, yeah, yeah, Richard.

- Oh, yeah,
it says they're married.

Okay, so we have
one connection.

- Great. So, if everyone
was at that wedding,

maybe we're onto something.

- Look, we all know how
the God Account works, okay?

There must be something
that's connecting them all,

maybe someone they all know.

[inquisitive music]

- Hey, wait, go back to
that last Friend Suggestion.

Click on their profile pic.

Yeah, look, that's the same
building that's in this photo.

- Wait. Let me zoom in,
try and run an address search.

- Morning.

all: Morning.
- Any coffee left?

- You know it's
10:00 a.m., right?

- You know
I work nights, right?

- I left the pot on.

- Thank you.

- No way.
- What?

- I think I found a connection.
- What?

- All 76 Friend Suggestions
have the same address--

1204 East 123rd Street.

- They all live
in the same building?

- Okay, I'll call a Lyft.

- Um, I have a meeting
with upper management today--

some conference room
on the sixth floor.

Unless--
Should I cancel?

I mean, 76 Friend Suggestions
sounds like

an all-hands-on-deck
kind of situation.

- Oh, no, no,
go to your meeting.

We'll be fine.
Call me when you're done, okay?

- Good luck.
[door opens]

- [sighs] Don't have
too much fun without me.

- What'd I miss?

- So how long is your sister
staying with you?

- Oh, only for a few days.

Just until her apartment
is done being fumigated.

- Hmm, nice, a little
brother-sister bonding time.

- [laughs] I'm pretty sure
she's just checking up on me,

making sure I'm okay.

- Are you?

- Eh...

- Well, having just been
through a breakup,

I'm here if you want
to talk about it.

- Thanks.

And I think I'm good,
you know.

When it's not right,
it's not right.

- Yeah, I know what you mean.

- On a positive note...
[both laugh]

My podcast is up 13%.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

People are really digging
the God Account stories.

I mean, half of the comments
are about Pria

and whether or not
she's found Falken.

- Yeah, well,
you have to admit

it is a great mystery.

So 76 Friend Suggestions.

That is a lot of doors
to knock on.

- Yeah, well, that's assuming

we can even get
in the building.

- Oh. Well, now that
we're both single,

want to move in
together?

- [laughs]

That's a little fast,
but, okay.

[both chuckle]

- You guys are in luck.

I just put the sign up
this morning.

You'll be the first to see it,

but if I were you,
I wouldn't wait too long.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, not every day
an apartment

opens up in this building.

Most of the tenants here
are lifers, myself included.

- Yeah, how long
you lived here?

- Oh, since I was born.

This place, I can't imagine
living anywhere else.

It's more than just a building.
It's a true community.

[elevator bell dings]

- Oh, Mrs. Washington, hello.
How are you?

- Doing just fine, William.

- Well, that's good.
This is Miles and Cara.

They're interested
in apartment 4D.

- Oh, beautiful couple
like you?

You all will fit right in.

- Oh, that's so nice.
Did you hear that, sweetie?

- Yes, I did.
- [chuckles]

Did William tell you
he's a playwright?

He's gonna be famous one day.

- Oh, I don't know about that.
- Oh, nonsense.

A famous writer lived here

back when this place
was first built.

William will carry on
that tradition.

[laughing]
Well, nice to see you.

- Okay.
Okay, take care.

After you.

[keys jingling]

[indistinct chatter]

- On your marks,
get set..

- You're gonna want
to step aside.

- [chuckles]
- Go!

[children giggling]

Oh-ho-ho!

[children shouting happily]

- Hey.

Oh, that's Marcos, 4A,

and his kids--
Mateo, Luca, and Nico.

Here we are,
this is apartment 4D.

The owner of the building

renovated
the apartment recently.

- Uh, are these new cabinets?

- Uh, yep, updated appliances,
new fixtures, and new floors.

- What about the water
pressure?

[cell phone chimes and buzzes]
- Oh, it's the best.

Uh, listen, I don't want
to rush you guys,

but there's a tenant meeting

about to start in
the common room.

- Well, uh, you think it'd be
okay if we tag along?

- Just to get a sense
of this amazing community.

- Yes, of course,
it'd be my pleasure.

- Mr. Singh.
Robyn Bell, HR.

Let me start by asking, do you
like working at IdentitySeal?

- Uh, yeah, very much.

- And are you happy with your
position in customer service?

- Absolutely.

- You don't find it
uninspiring?

- Okay. All right, I'm gonna
need you to level with me here?

Is this about Simon Hayes?
Did he put you up to this?

- I'm not sure I understand.
- I see.

Are we done
with this little charade?

'Cause I'd really like
to go back

to my "incredibly uninspiring
life" in customer service.

- So you're not interested
in a promotion?

- Um...

excuse me?

- So, in addition to William
and Mrs. Washington,

we have Marcos
and his three kids.

- I found out
that his wife works.

He's a stay-at-home dad.

- Olivia teaches kindergarten,
moved back in with her parents

until she can paid off
her student loans.

- Yeah, and Shannon
and Karen Murphy--

they're celebrating
their 20th next month.

They invited
the entire building

to a Guinness keg party
on the roof.

- Reason enough to move in.
- [chuckles]

- William was right--this is
a great group of people.

Why would the God Account send
us their names?

- Excuse me,
someone I got to talk to.

Hi, what, uh--what are you
two doing here?

- We need to speak
to our tenants.

- About what?

- I think it's better
if I address them directly.

- Okay.

- Hello, can I have
everyone's attention, please?

If everyone can please
sit down.

Thank you.

Many of you know me.

For those of you who don't,
my name is Denise.

My father
and I own this building...

or at least we did.

Developers made us an offer
that we couldn't pass up.

This building has been sold.
[crowd murmuring]

Unfortunately,
the new owners...

well, they plan to demolish
this property

to build a luxury hotel.

[crowd shouting]

I'm sorry to tell you this,
but you have 30 days to vacate.

[shouting continues]

[somber music]

- [sighs] Looks like we just
found out why

the God Account sent
us their names.

[crowd shouting]

- Hector, I have lived here
all my life.

You know that!
Where am I supposed to go?

- Mrs. Washington,
I understand this is a shock.

- A shock?
My parents can't move.

What are they supposed to do?

- We know you all have
a lot of questions,

and we'll do our best
to answer them.

- Denise, let's go.

[shouting continues]

- You know what this place
means to these people.

You grew up here.
You can't do this!

- Look, I know you've always
had a hard time

understanding this,
but this isn't about me.

It's just business.
That's all.

- No, see, that's him talking.
That's not you.

- Good-bye, William.

[somber music]

♪

- Hey, is there anything
we can do to help?

- I don't see how.

I can't believe that
they would do this.

I mean, I can see Hector,
but not Denise.

- You seem to know her well.

- I should.
She's my sister.

- So that means
Hector is...

- My father, yes.
We don't really talk anymore.

He wanted me to take over
the real-estate business,

and then I decided to follow
my dream of becoming a writer.

After that, well, other than
letting me stay here,

he turned his back on me.

- So why don't you just talk
to your sister?

- I wish I could.
Denise and I--

we haven't seen
each other in a year.

We used to be thick as thieves
growing up.

It was the only way to survive
life under my father.

- I have a sister, too, okay?

Whenever my father and I were
going through something,

my sister was there
when I needed her.

There's a special bond
that can never go away

no matter how long it's been.

- Maybe you can get her
to talk to your dad

about selling the building,
change their minds?

- I really wish
I could believe that,

but you heard her.

She sounds like him now.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to calm a lot
of nervous people down.

Look, if he's not gonna
talk to her, then we need to.

- You think there's a way we
can get her to change her mind?

- Maybe, or at the very least

convince her that kicking
people out of their homes

could make
for very bad press.

- And bad press
can scare off the buyers.

- Hello, Mr. Singh.
I'm Dayna Chessin--

the new VP of Technology
at IdentitySeal.

- Is there
an old VP of Technology?

- Not that I'm aware of.

- Uh, so,
about that promotion

the nice lady from HR
was telling me about...

- We'll get to that.

First, there's been
some suspicious incidents

over the last few months

that I wanted to talk
to you about.

- Oh, uh, suspicious?
Like what?

- For example,
on October 24th,

someone tethered
the IdentitySeal mainframe.

Do you know how to tether
a mainframe?

- Me? No.
[chuckles nervously]

I mean, I might--
I might.

I do. I do,
but I didn't tether it...

if that's what
you're asking me.

[scoffs]

- Can you tell me
about the Spiral Galaxy

that appeared
on everyone's monitors

after an unexplainable
system-wide meltdown?

- I had nothing
to do with that.

- So you're not aware
of a third-party code

being analyzed at the time
that overloaded the system?

- I'm gonna go with a no.

- How about a breach
of the IdentitySeal mainframe

a few weeks ago?

Someone running

a state-of-the-art
decryption program

to break through firewalls.

Let me guess, you had nothing
to do with that either.

- [stammers, chuckles]

You know, I'm so happy
in customer service,

and if it's okay,

I'd really like to pass
on this promotion.

- I think I have everything
I need.

That's all for today.

[dramatic music]

♪

- Thanks for meeting with us.

Like I said on the phone,
what's happening

at your building might make
for an interesting op-ed piece.

- Big bag wolf,

huffing and puffing and blowing
people out of their homes.

Is that it?

- Isn't it?

- No, it's not.

How well do you know
my brother?

- Actually,
we're new friends. Why?

- As much as he thinks that my
father and I are the bad guys,

no one wants to put anyone out
on the streets.

We can help them relocate.

That's what I went down there
for and was trying to explain.

- Well, it's kind of hard
to hear anything after,

"You have 30 days
to leave your home."

- I get it,

but that doesn't change
the facts.

- If this really
is just about business,

then there has to be a third
option that lets them stay.

What about finding
another buyer?

- If you have another buyer

that doesn't want to tear
it down and build a high-rise,

great,
but I'm guessing you don't.

- What about the people
who live there?

The tenants in the building
across from mine

recently went co-op.

Maybe they can do the same.

- Organizing a co-op purchase
is a massive undertaking,

and we have ticking clock
on closing this deal.

- Well, then we'll work fast.

♪

- If you can get signatures
from all the tenants

declaring their intent
to enter a co-op agreement,

I can take the offer
to my father...

see if I can convince him.

- So how long are you staying
at your brother's?

- Just a few days.
- Hmm.

- Hey, how was lunch
with Trish?

- Great. Uh, in fact...

she invited me
to go to her farm upstate.

- Wow, that's great.

- But I said no.

- How come?
Are things moving too fast?

- What, for a trip upstate
to a farm?

How old-fashioned
do you think I am?

- Then what is it?

- Well, she offered to come by after
Sunday service

to pick me up.
- So?

- So we've been seeing each
other for a few months now,

and she's never asked
about coming to services.

- Oh.

Have you ever invited her?

- Well, I...

No.

To be honest, I've just been
enjoying our time together,

which probably
I should continue doing.

- If that were true,

I don't think we'd be having
this conversation right now.

You always say,
if something's on your mind...

- Best to get it out.

Mm-hmm.
[chuckles]

- Denise agreed to this.
- She gave us her word.

Now, you'll still have to apply
for a loan at some point,

but if you can get every tenant

to sign at least
this petition of intent,

she'll present the option
to your father.

- I can't believe she's
actually willing to help.

If you don't mind me asking,

why are you guys
so invested in this?

You can't like the apartment
that much.

- We just want to help,

and we both know how
complicated families can be.

- Yeah.

- Maybe when this is all said
and done,

you and your sister
can start talking again.

- I hope so.

- All right, let's get to work.
We don't have much time.

You will not regret this,
Olivia.

Oh, and by the way,

whatever you are cooking
smells amazing.

- What guarantees do I have?

- Well, none,
but if you don't sign,

you're gonna be thrown
out of your home,

and your kids won't have
this awesome hallway

to run down anymore.

After Cara and Miles left,

I spoke to Dad about
the building going co-op.

- He said no.
Of course he did.

- You told us
to get those signatures,

that you would try and convince
your father.

- We gave those people hope.

- I wanted this to work out.
I really did.

- You sent us
on a fool's errand

so Dad could close
the deal quietly.

And let me guess--
it's already done.

- William--
- Save it.

You know what?
You are just like him.

You don't care about anyone
but yourself.

- Me?
What about you?

- I would never turn my back

on the people
that we grew up with.

The people that we call family.

- I know.
You only turn your back

on your actual family.

There's nothing else I can do.

I just signed the papers.

The building's been sold.

[contemplative music]

- So, if the building's been sold,

how are you supposed to help
your 76 Friend Suggestions?

- No idea.

- Well, I highly doubt

the God Account
sent you all their names

just to have you rent
76 U-Hauls

and bubble-wrap their stuff.

- Well, I mean, you heard
Denise, saw how damaged

her relationship
is with William.

This must have something
to do with repairing it.

- Yeah, well, that's great,

but how is that gonna help
anyone living in that building?

[cell phone chimes and buzzes]

- It's Dee.
I'll call her back.

Wait.
So what are you gonna do?

I mean, it seems like you guys
are at a dead end.

- Yeah, we tend to make things
worse before they get better.

- [laughs]

[cell phone chimes and buzzes]
Oh.

The God Account--

it just liked something called
The Little Red Lighthouse.

- What's the
Little Red Lighthouse?

- Wha--
it's in Fort Washington Park.

Seriously?

Guys, it's like
the first place I visited

when I moved to New York.

- The first place you visited
when you moved

to one of the cultural
epicenters of the world

was a tiny lighthouse?

- [scoffs]

- How tiny we talking
about, though?

- Look, this must have to do
with our Friend Suggestion.

- No, I agree, but what does
a little red lighthouse

have to do with helping
76 people

who are getting kicked
out of their homes?

- I don't know,
but let's find out.

- All right, you want to go?
- Uh, I can't.

I got to go back
to IdentitySeal

for one last meeting.
- For what?

- Well, my guess is they're
gonna try and have me

admit everything I've done
involving the God Account.

It's never gonna happen.

- Tagging along?
- I would love to.

But I have to get to work.

I'll hear about it
on the podcast.

- Okay.

[door opens, closes]

- I'm glad you came down.

I wanted to, uh, talk
to you about something.

- Of course.

Um, you know, but if this
about us going away together,

I mean, there's really nothing
to talk about.

If you feel like things
are moving too fast...

- It's not that.

I would love to see your farm,

and I'm ready to take
the next step with us.

- Me too.
[chuckles]

I'm sensing a "but"
in there.

- My church and the people
who fill the pews are my life--

7 days a week,
365 days of the year.

It's not a job.

It's who I am.

My life is blessed, and I want
to share that with you,

but I need to ask,

and I really want you
to think about it,

is being a part of all of this

something you'd even want?

- You're saying that in order
for us to move forward,

I need to become a part
of the church?

- I can tell you it doesn't
matter whether you are or not,

but my life and my faith are
one in the same.

I don't know

what our relationship
would even look like

if you were not part of both.

- I want to be,

but I think you're right.

I-I...

I should think about this.

- Nice to meet you, Rakesh.

My name is Spencer Holt.

- Using my first name,
building rapport,

lower my defenses--
I get it.

Okay, I saw "The Negotiator."

I didn't want to see it,
but I saw it.

- Terrible movie.
- The worst.

Nice try.

Okay, can we please
just get on with it?

- Sure.

You've denied any knowledge
regarding the activities

my colleague discussed
with you yesterday.

Is that correct?
- That's right.

- Okay.

Thanks for coming in.
[clears throat]

- That's it?

- Whoever's behind
all this has skills

that are highly specialized.
- Meaning?

- I seriously doubt whether

you know what tethering
a mainframe even means,

let alone how to do it
or why anyone would want to.

- Maybe they were running
an AES-256-level

decryption program
of their own design

based on open ciphers
first approved

by the NSA to protect
top-secret government files.

Is that what you wanted
to hear, Mr. Holt?

- Actually, yes.

- Okay,
so, since I'm clearly fired,

I'm just gonna show myself out.

- You're not fired.

Please.

Your ability to find
and exploit weaknesses

in their servers was the reason

Mr. Hayes wanted me
to meet you.

[breathes deeply]
I'm in charge of a new division

we're starting
at IdentitySeal--

Mobile Applications and Design.

Simon wants to design
the first app

that can not only monitor
someone's financial identity

as it interacts
with global infrastructure,

but something that can analyze

and identify potential fraud
before it happens.

- Predictive analytics.

- I knew I had the right man.

We see this application

as the next cutting-edge
advancement

in IdentitySeal's business.

- You want me to work on it?

- I want you lead the team

that's going to code it
from the ground up.

What do you say?

- Uh...

[laughs]

- Wow. I did not know this was
in New York.

- Hey, did you notice how Ali
acted when Dee called earlier?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure everything's
okay with her?

Them?

I mean, maybe this isn't about
her building being fumigated.

- If there was something
going on, Ali would tell me.

- Yeah, well,
not unless it was something

she didn't want
to talk about.

Look, she shouldn't have
to tell you.

- Yeah, you're right.
- [chuckles]

You gonna go check it out?
- Of course.

[upbeat music]

♪

Wow.

How'd you find this place?

- My favorite book as a kid was

"The Little Red Lighthouse
and The Great Gray Bridge."

I used to read it
with my dad every night.

It was about--
- A little red lighthouse?

- [chuckles] Yeah.

Yeah,
the lighthouse took pride

in warning boats
of the shoreline,

until one day men started
building a bridge above it.

After they finished, the bridge
towered above the lighthouse,

making it feel small
and powerless and unimportant.

It was about the bridge
representing progress

and the lighthouse fearing

it would no longer be needed
or wanted.

- Kind of like what's happening
at the Ruiz building.

- Yeah, exactly.

- [sighs]

Well, maybe the God Account's
feeling thematic.

How does it end?

- Well, it realizes that it
can co-exist with the bridge

and it's still useful.

- Hmm.

Yeah, let's look around,
see what we can find.

Hey, check this out.

"'The Little Red Lighthouse.'

"This site was declared
a historic landmark

"due to its connection
with Hildegarde H. Swift's

famous book of the same name."

Swift.

- What?
What is it?

- Remember Ms. Washington
said a famous author

lived in the building
when it was first being built?

- "The Little Red Lighthouse"--

I think it was
published in 1942.

- It's a pre-war building.

- If she lived in the building
when she wrote the book,

that could declare it
a historic landmark.

- Which means the new owners
can't tear it down

to build a high-rise.

This is what the God Account
wanted us to see.

This is how we can save those
people from getting evicted.

- Mrs. Washington confirmed
the author's name

who lived in the building
was Swift.

- If she wrote a novel there,

the building could be
a historical landmark.

We just need proof.
- Is there any way to know

what apartment she lived
in back then?

Maybe we could find something
that showed she lived there?

- She said it was 4D.

- What?

- That's why my father
renovated it so quickly.

- He knew.

- He must have figured
it out recently.

It's why he pushed my sister
to sell the building so fast.

- He was worried
if someone found out,

he wouldn't be able to sell it.

- But if he didn't disclose
something like that

and someone found out,
he could end up in jail.

Why risk that?

Unless...

My God.

There's something
I need to tell you.

- I don't have time for this.

- It's about your father
and the sale of the building.

- Denise, will you please just
listen to him?

- You can't save
the building, William.

- I'm not trying to save
the building.

I'm trying to save you.

- What are you talking about?

- When we were kids,
do you remember

how Mrs. Washington
would tell us these stories

about how this famous author

used to live in the building
when it was first built?

- Maybe. Mrs. Washington
would tell us a lot of stories.

- Yeah, well, that author's
name was Hildegarde H. Swift.

- We think that Swift
wrote her book

while living in apartment 4D.

- Dad knew the building
could be declared

a historical landmark

and no one would be able
to tear it down.

The new buyers wouldn't want
it anymore.

That's why he had
the apartment renovated.

- But that's fraud.
- Yes, it is.

But lucky for him, his name
wasn't on the paperwork.

- I-I can't believe
he would do that to me.

- You said that I couldn't save
the building,

and you're right,
but I believe you can.

But you need to stand up
to him,

and not for me and not for
the people in that building,

but for you.

- What if I can't?

- I think you can.

- We have a meeting.
Let's go.

[somber music]

Are you coming?

- You go ahead.
I'll be right there.

♪

- I still haven't heard from my sister.

I can't believe I have to break
the news to everyone again.

- [sighs] I'm sorry. I wish
we could have been more help.

- No, are you kidding me?

You guys did everything
you could.

I really appreciate it.
Thank you.

- Well, it was
our pleasure, William.

- Thank you so much for coming
on such short notice,

but I wanted to deliver
this in person.

It brings me great sadness

to tell you that we couldn't
save the building.

I'm sorry I let you all down.
[stammers]

What are you doing here?

- I have to speak
to my tenants.

♪

- The floor's yours.

- Hello, everyone.

It has come to my attention
that the buyers have received

an anonymous tip
that this building

might be a historical landmark.

And since they can't
tear it down,

they no longer see
the same value in the property.

They've decided to walk away
from the deal.

- So where does that leave us?

- With a new buyer...

one that my father just sold
to an hour ago.

And I have it on good authority

that the new owner
of the building

has no intention
of evicting anyone.

[crowd murmuring happily]

- Wait, wait, how do you know?

- Well,
because I'm the new owner,

and no one
is going anywhere.

- Wait, so--
so you actually did it?

You stood up to Dad.
- Thanks to you.

- So what did he say?

- He told me that when the old
tenants at 4D were moving out,

they found an old photograph

of a woman sitting
at a typewriter by the window.

- Hildegarde H. Swift.

- Dad destroyed the photo--
never one to take chances.

He renovated the entire
apartment for good measure.

- And he just told you
all this?

- I was very persuasive,

and as part of our agreement
and staying silent,

he sold me the building
at a family rate.

You blackmailed Dad.

[both laugh]

- Well, to be honest,
I think he was proud.

isn't being sold,
