Okay. Okay. Okay.

Let's do sophomore year high school.

- Nathan Burlingame. - Didn't like you.

Huh. Kylie Mansard.

Thought you were cool but intimidating.

No way. I thought she was intimidating.

That's why I shoved her into that creek.

Well, after my chili episode,

I asked the administration for a one-year sabbatical

and, good news,

they fired me.

So I am free and easy.

Well, the rest of the Soul Squad

is off helping Jason's dad.

Who are we saving?

No one from my high school, I will tell you that much.

Well, before we do anything,

I have to break things off with Simone.

If I slip up and tell her about the universe,

it could doom her for eternity,

and I've avoided talking to her for so long,

she assumed I had laryngitis, and it went too far,

- and now I'm on antibiotics. - Okay, settle down.

Your moral code means you can't lie, right?

You need to just ghost her. Disappear.

Block her number. Bonus, anything she left

in your apartment now legally belongs to you.

I've done that to dozens of people,

and all of them got over it.

Actually, none of your exes have ever gotten over you.

You're damn right they didn't.

I just wish I could end things in a way

that I knew wouldn't hurt her.

Bing!

I usually appear out of thin air

and there would be a pleasant bing sound,

but I don't have my powers, so I'm doing my own bings now.

Bing!

Chidi, what if I could create a virtual reality simulation

where you could practice different breakup scenarios?

- You can do that? - I think so.

I do know everything about you and Simone

and computer programming and virtual reality

and artificial intelligence and the human brain

and everything else.

I'm kind of a nerd.

I'll start building the simulator now.

Bing!

Don't... Turn around.

It's embarrassing.

Bing.

Jacksonville, what up?

- Duval! - Duval!

Poor Larry.

But...

"If you love someone set them free."

My good friend and yoga pupil Sting,

no last initial, told me that.

I can't wait to show you guys

all the cool sites in Jacksonville.

Like, that swamp is where me, Pillboi, and Donkey Doug

used to stand and try and blind pilots

with laser pointers, and...

Maybe we should do the tour after we,

you know, save your father's soul.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask.

Why are you trying to save your father?

I've heard you mention your friend Pillboi many times,

but you've not mentioned your father once.

What do you mean?

I talk about Donkey Doug all the time.

I'm sorry. The man you call

Donkey Doug is your father?

Yeah.

The Donkey Doug with whom you tried

to blind airline pilots with laser pointers?

- Yeah. - The Donkey Doug who's banned

from Disney World for biting Buzz Lightyear?

In his defense, he thought it was someone else.

Who?

So Michael and I have a plan to save my dad.

My whole life, Donkey Doug was always getting in trouble

because of some get-rich-quick scheme.

He sold counterfeit truck nuts.

He created a sport that was a cross between

dodgeball and horseshoes and everybody died.

- He glued... - This should be easy.

We have plenty of money.

If we just give him money, he'll blow it.

He's gotta feel like he did it himself.

A few years ago, Donkey Doug was very close

to getting his electrician's license.

So if we get him to finish the training,

he can earn an honest living and be on his way

to getting more Good Place points,

which is why we're all here.

Okay, let's go save my dad.

Taxi!

- Ha! - Need help with your bags?

Nah, I got it.

- Oh, damn, Jason! - Oh, dude, Donkey Doug!

You call him Donkey Doug in person?

Me and Jason are cool like that.

I don't think of him as my son.

I think of him as my boy!

I mean, I am your boy.

Yeah, but it's more like,

"That's my son right there, son."

But not like, "Son, son."

But like, "My boy." But not like...

Yes, yes, we get it. Thank you.

Oh, this is my friend Michael.

Oh, crap. You look like a cop.

Are you a cop? Because if you are,

you have to tell me, and you're not allowed

to arrest me for anything you saw

before I knew you were a cop.

- I-I'm not a police officer. - Yeah, Michael's cool.

And this is Tahani, who is my wife, I guess.

Dang, nice pull, son!

How about you and me go check out my Jacuzzi

and put stuff in each other?

Again, I'm his wife.

Wow, that's the first time that line has ever failed.

You must really love him.

Welcome to the family! Come on in!

This program knows everything about

your personality, Simone's personality,

and all human relationships.

It can't tell you exactly what will happen,

but it will approximate Simone's reaction

to anything you say to her.

Plus, it has Tetris.

Hmm, would this work with, say, me

and, say, Jason Statham

and instead of a café, it was, say,

a room with a futon and a bunch of Red Bull?

Why is it that every time a new thing is invented,

humans immediately try to use it for porn?

- Because we're disgusting. - Huh.

Eleanor and I will be watching on the monitor.

We'll see what you see. Put these in your ears.

They'll play a tone that will trick your brain

into seeing what I've programmed.

Ah...

Wow, so this is...

- I'm here. - Hey, babe.

What did you want to talk about?

Go ahead, Chidi, practice what you want to say to her.

Right. Um...

Simone, this has been the best year

of my life because of you.

Unfortunately, I have come to learn some information,

and it means that we have to end this relationship.

- What information? - I...

- can't say. - Why not?

I-I can't say.

Well, you've either gone crazy,

or you're too much of a coward to tell me how you feel.

- Which is it? - I-I can't because of...

- Janet! - Who's Janet?

And why are you screaming her name into the sky?

You know what? Whatever.

- Good-bye, Chidi. - No. No. No. Wait...

So...

- that didn't go great. - I disagree.

I thought it was hilarious.

So, Donkey Doug, Jason told us about

your electrician license, and we have

a career opportunity for you.

Yo, later for that.

I got a business proposition for you.

Pillboi!

- Oh, dip! Jason! - Oh, dip! Pillboi!

- Oh, dip! Pillboi! - Oh, dip! Donkey Doug!

- Oh, dip! Jason! - This is remarkable.

- It explains so much. - Oh, dip! Pillboi!

Jason, I thought you were dead.

But I was alive. I was in Australia.

I talked to you on the phone last week.

- Yeah, but I forgot. - Oh.

Me and Pillboi have been cooking up

something real special.

And this time, it's not fake meth.

All right, Pillboi, tell him about our new product.

Sharks, how much do you spend on

energy drinks and body spray in one week?

Three hundred dollars?

Ten hundred dollars?

What if I told you there was a product

that combined these two things for one solution

to all of life's problems and more?

I give to you Double Trouble!

The world's first energy drink/body spray.

So do you spray it on yourself,

or do you drink it?

- You both it. - This is the one, Jason.

We're gonna be so rich.

I'll finally be able to pay to have

my calf implants moved back up from my feet.

This is gonna be a lot tougher than we thought.

Tell me about it.

Double Trouble sounds amazing. We should bid fast.

The other sharks are gonna want in.

So I just have to be simple, honest, and declarative

and somehow still protect her feelings.

I don't know, man.

Maybe just tell her that you're gay.

- I'm not gay. - Fine, bi.

- I'm not bi either. - Why not?

More guys should be bi. It's 2018.

It's like, get over yourselves.

Is there any way I can try

a bunch of different things in a row

- to see what works? - Bing.

Sure, if you want to reset, just snap your fingers.

Also, I made some modifications to the tone,

so it should make your transition easier.

Oh.

Mm!

Hey, babe.

What did you want to talk about?

Well, I don't love you anymore.

- What? - No, no. You don't understand.

I don't technically love you in the same way

because of circumstances.

What?

Hang on.

I don't know how to tell you this,

but I'm dying.

- No, you're not. - Yes, I am.

Because we're all dying slowly, when you think about it.

We start dying the moment we're born.

So not a lie.

Okay, here it is.

I'm just gonna be perfectly honest.

My real name is Special Agent Rick Justice, FBI.

Nope.

Simone...

the last year has been

truly amazing, and with that in mind...

- Will you marry me? - Yes! Yes!

Of course I will! Oh!

Wait, what am I doing?

Why did I think this would work?

Chidi, I'm gonna go ahead and reboot this one myself.

Yeah, good call.

- So, Simone... - Wait.

Before you say anything,

- I think we should break up. - You do?

Yes, I love and respect you very much,

but we're heading in different directions.

And don't worry, we don't have to make a big thing of it.

Oh, my God. Okay. This is the one.

Remember everything. Right leg crossed over left.

Coffee's right there.

Oh, one more thing. Suck it, you doink.

Sorry?

This is Eleanor, you idiot.

Janet let me mess with the simulator

to screw with you.

- Janet, come on! - Hi, Chidi.

This is Janet now. Sorry, it won't happen again.

- Thank you. - Psych! It's still Eleanor!

I can't believe you fell for that, you doink.

We need to break up, but here's a puppy.

Aw! Wait, what?

He's a puppy, it's over between us,

and he's cute.

Do you think I don't hear the bad parts

- of these sentences? - His name is Martin,

I need my keys back, and he's a puppy.

You are very bad at this.

That's because I don't actually want

- to break up with her. - What, do you need me

to break up with her for you

like we're in middle school or something?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, please.

- Do that for me. Please. - Fine.

Hey, Eleanor.

Hey.

What did you want to talk about?

Well, first of all, you and Chidi

are so great together.

He really loves you, and I can see why.

You know, you're brilliant, charming, obviously gorgeous.

- Aw, you're sweet to say that. - And your accent is so cute.

Your accent is so cute.

What? I don't think I have an accent.

I don't think I have an accent.

Stop it!

What is happening?

No! No. This is over.

Whoa, man, come on. It was just getting good.

Let's remember the mission.

Your father needs to focus on long-term stability.

Also, and perhaps this is less important,

but there's an awful lot of dog hair on the furniture,

and I have not seen a dog.

Not bad, right?

Double Trouble comes in three delicious smell-flavors:

Raspberry Perspirant, Cedarwood Melon Blast,

and 24-Hour Lemon Musk Xtreme.

That one is also a lube.

Look, Donkey Doug, Double Trouble is dope.

On that much, we can all agree on.

But you got to think long-term.

You were good at electricity stuff.

You hooked us up with free porno channels

every year ever since the third grade.

It's good, honest work.

Honest work? Whatever, Dad.

You're his dad.

This is huge, J.

When Double Trouble pops off, I'll be able to quit my job

at the old folks' home.

Buy a big-ass mansion.

Every day, I'll wake up,

get out of bed, brush my teeth,

rinse, go downstairs,

open the fridge, "Damn, we out of milk,"

get in my car...

You don't have to run through

the whole imaginary day.

Jason, I believe in Double Trouble.

Why won't you believe in me?

Well, I suppose a little entrepreneurial spirit

never hurt anyone.

You know, reach for the stars, as I said to my good friend

Elon Musk.

And then he shot his car into space.

What a weird creep. Why was I friends with him?

Maybe this is what'll put your father on the right path.

And, hey, it's not like he's robbing a bank.

Yeah, it's a factory.

- Excuse me? - Tonight we're gonna

steal some energy drinks from an energy drink factory,

then still some cologne from a cologne factory.

So it's actually two factories.

Then we just got to bottle it all up.

Ah, dip, we gotta rob a bottle factory.

- Three factories. - Three factories.

Stupid Donkey Doug.

I mean, two factories I can understand,

but... but three?

You... you might want to consider

the possibility that your father's a lost cause.

I have an idea, but I need your help.

Will you guys help me?

I mean, yeah, that... that's why we're here, Jason.

What's your idea, darling?

We're gonna save Pillboi.

Okay, real life. I think I'm ready.

I've analyzed the ten most successful scenarios

and compiled the statistically

most effective breakup strategy.

Who said you weren't a romantic?

Every girlfriend I've ever had.

Ooh, there she is. Okay.

Wish me luck.

- Oh, hi. Uh... - Is something wrong?

No, it's just that we're usually over there.

Doesn't matter.

Okay, so I've spent

a lot of time thinking about everything

that's happened in the last year...

Hi there, what can I get you to drink?

I'll have an iced tea, please.

- Mm-hmm. - Water, thanks.

It's been a time of massive personal

and professional growth...

Sorry, sugar with that iced tea?

- Yes, please. - Right.

All in all, it's been overwhelmingly positive,

and I think that's due in large part to you...

Sorry, real quick, I'm gonna go on break,

so Helmut will be taking care of you.

Hello.

Will you be eating with us today?

Just please give us one second.

Yeah, okay. One.

That was one second. That was a joke.

Please get out of here, Helmut!

- Okay, yeah. - All right, look, just...

we need to break up.

I am... I am breaking up with you.

- Why? - I can't... it's...

it's complicated, but it's happening.

Ya dumped.

- Okay. - Wait. Wait, no.

Come back, please.

- Yeah, okay! I'm back. - Not you, Helmut.

Hey, now, listen, Judy, you can't mix xannys

with these little pink fools.

You'll be tripping balls like Clarence was

when he crawled into the ice machine.

Here.

Take half of one of these,

wash it down with a 5-Hour ENERGY,

and you'll be golden.

Body high with mild visuals.

Thanks, Pillboi.

Yo, I gotta take off

'cause I gotta go do a robbery.

I mean... I'm sick.

Hello, Pillboi.

I'm here on behalf of Jason.

You won't be attending

the job with Donkey Doug today.

There's been a change of plans.

Okay.

That's it?

You don't need any more information?

I mean, do you want to tell me?

- Not really. - Cool.

Want some pills?

I hate this. What if I ruined her?

What if I sent her down the wrong path

and she ends up in the Bad Place?

I have to undo what I did. Janet, fire up the simulator.

Dude, no more simulations.

Just talk to her.

Breakups never end with both people feeling great.

But she's a badass, and her world

is bigger than your relationship.

She'll recover.

Just go.

Be a person.

Right.

Here I go.

Janet, can I use the simulator?

There's a very specific Lenny Kravitz concert

- I want to be front row at. - Sure.

FYI, when the system boots up,

you might find yourself in a steam room

with Jason, who will be wearing an old-timey strongman onesie.

It's a bug in the system.

Pillboi?

No, it's me, Pillboi's friend Jason.

Pillboi's not coming.

If you're here to tell me an energy drink body spray

is a bad idea, I've heard it before

from a bank and some doctors.

I'ma help you make Double Trouble,

but you got to leave Pillboi alone from now on.

I'm trying to save him.

Oh, dip. You got religious and shiz?

- Amen. - Amen.

Okay, hurry up and get this crap in my truck.

Jacksonville Police!

Come out with your hands up!

Are you a cop? 'Cause if you are,

you have to tell us.

Yes, this is the police.

Yup, I knew it. It's the cops.

What do we do? Yo, let's get out of here.

No.

I know I haven't been the best father in the world.

I might not have even been in the top five.

I wanna make up for that.

I'll distract 'em. You run out the back.

No, that's crazy.

It's what my dad did for me

and his dad for him.

And someday,

you'll do this exact thing for your son.

I mean, I hope not,

but thanks, Donkey Doug.

Hey...

- call me Donkey Dad. - Okay.

Donkey Dad.

Nah, that sounds wack. Call me Donkey Doug.

Cool.

Bortles!

Uh...

Here's the truth. You're amazing.

And my feelings have changed.

I wish I could tell you why.

I really, really do,

but...

I can't.

Well...

you seem to know what you want,

which is rare for you.

Well, I hope you keep the study going.

Might help a lot of people.

Well...

see you in the next life.

What? Why would you say that? What do you know?

It's a figure of speech.

You're so weird, man.

I think maybe this is for the best.

So your covert mission is to continue

to report to this job

until you receive our signal.

Now, this is the most important thing.

You cannot commit any more crimes,

and you must help these people

as much as you can.

- The mission depends on it. - Roger that.

Man, I can't believe this whole time,

you guys were with NASA.

Yes, we are secret astronaut spies.

That is indeed what Jason told you.

Take good care of these old fools,

and stay out of trouble.

I love you, bro.

I love you, bro.

- Psych. - I got you, bro.

- I got you, bro. Jag... - ...uars...

Rule.

Well, my sister's museum exhibit opens tomorrow.

Are you all ready for some Al-Jamil family reconciliation?

You know it, wifey. Soul Squad is on a roll.

I pretty much nailed that Pillboi thing,

and I got closure with my dad, Donkey Doug.

That remains depressing,

but I'm happy for you, bud.

I never got to do that with my parents,

and now they're both dead, so it's impossible.

So the thing is, one of your parents

is not technically actually dead.

- What are you talking about? - Your mother's alive.

She faked her own death.

I'm sorry, Tahani, I don't think

I'll be able to stay with you here in Budapest.

Turns out my mom isn't dead,

so I need to fly back to America

to murder her.
