1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,426
Previously on "God Friended Me"...
2
00:00:02,450 --> 00:00:03,450
I got a good friend,
3
00:00:03,460 --> 00:00:05,219
teaches marketing over
at Harlem College.
4
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:06,780
You should take his class.
5
00:00:06,850 --> 00:00:09,560
- You're DJ Trek?
- I also go by Nia.
6
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,730
It's Eli.
7
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,916
You gonna give him another shot?
8
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:15,300
I don't know. Not sure what to do.
9
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:19,600
The Blue Danube has a house band.
10
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:21,720
We could meet here and walk over.
11
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:23,250
Yes.
12
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,260
That's the piece of the God
Account code I sent you.
13
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,230
You want to find Falken?
Post it on the internet,
14
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:29,300
lure him out of whatever
hole he's been hiding in.
15
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,390
Make him come to us.
16
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,420
New York City,
17
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,530
the most diverse city in the world,
18
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,979
but in a time where technology and faith
19
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,799
have collided instead of
providing a way for us
20
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,520
to share our ideas and our beliefs,
21
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:50,569
we're left feeling more
disconnected than ever.
22
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:53,740
That's why my podcast is so relevant.
23
00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:57,420
The Millennial Prophet
is a podcast destination
24
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,320
for those looking to bridge the divide
25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,750
between believer and non-believer.
26
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,390
Thank you, Miles.
27
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:10,200
Your assignment this week is to
perfect your elevator pitch.
28
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:12,460
Now turn to the person next to you,
29
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:13,980
and this is your new partner.
30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,470
I want you to familiarize yourself
31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
with each other's products and
give productive feedback.
32
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,800
See you next week.
33
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:24,520
Hi, partner.
34
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:28,600
I'll send you a link to my podcast
35
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:30,810
so you can listen to a few
episodes before we meet.
36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,050
Oh, I've already listened. I like it.
37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,250
You've a voice, Miles. I
think it's gonna catch on.
38
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,840
Wow, thanks.
39
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,000
I did have one question
about your podcast.
40
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,590
This God Account you talk about,
41
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:43,790
is that for real?
42
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:46,440
The account, yes. God, no.
43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,060
So when you get a Friend Suggestion,
44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,959
you have to figure out how to help them?
45
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,860
Yeah, and it's not easy.
46
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Here we go.
47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,610
- _
- Wait.
48
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,860
Are you messing with me?
49
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,890
No, they send me a Friend Suggestion
50
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,950
when I'm talking about them,
51
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,699
they're probably listening
to us right now.
52
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,580
Yeah, it's 2018,
53
00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:09,400
our phones are listening to all of us.
54
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:13,330
So how are you going to
find this Blair Lewis?
55
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,230
I have no clue.
56
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:17,540
Excuse me, can you hold the elevator?
57
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:23,080
Thanks.
58
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:26,360
No worries.
59
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:30,140
Having a good day?
60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,480
For a human beach ball,
it's as good as it gets.
61
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:35,620
You?
62
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:38,200
- So far, so good.
- All right.
63
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,640
- I take that back.
- What's happening?
64
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:44,490
I think the elevator stalled.
65
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:46,360
It's okay. I'll call security.
66
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:49,340
I think it's broken.
67
00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:51,230
We're stuck and nobody
knows we're in here.
68
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:52,780
We got to get out of here now.
69
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,000
Don't worry, I'll call 911.
70
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,359
But there's no service.
71
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,700
Hey. Hey! We're stuck in here!
72
00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:02,410
Can someone please call
the fire department?
73
00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:08,380
My doctor told me not to put myself
74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,780
in stressful situations.
75
00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:12,060
It can induce labor,
and my baby is breech.
76
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,180
I can only deliver by c-section.
77
00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:16,460
Oh, okay. Look at me.
78
00:03:16,540 --> 00:03:18,160
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me,
79
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,220
My name is Miles. This is Nia,
80
00:03:20,290 --> 00:03:21,920
and we're here with you.
81
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:24,090
It's gonna be okay.
82
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,240
I'm Blair.
83
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,040
So have you picked a name yet?
84
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,670
No, I'm hoping I'll be
inspired when he arrives.
85
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,740
My... my mom didn't have a
name before I was born either.
86
00:03:34,810 --> 00:03:36,210
She said that
87
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:39,940
a name is a mother's
first gift to her child,
88
00:03:40,010 --> 00:03:43,580
so she wanted it to have
a very special meaning.
89
00:03:43,650 --> 00:03:46,360
So when I was born, my
mother looked at me
90
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:48,220
and saw the face of my father
91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,020
and she saw the face of her father,
92
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:54,220
both of whom marched on
Washington and Selma
93
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:55,380
for equality.
94
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:58,460
My mother never wanted me to forget
95
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:02,000
the miles and miles that my
father and my grandfather
96
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:04,520
walked for my Civil Rights.
97
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080
That's beautiful, Miles.
98
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:11,540
You okay?
99
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:13,940
I think I am.
100
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,100
Oh, thank God.
101
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:26,000
Who knows what would have happened
102
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:28,360
if you two hadn't been
there to talk me down?
103
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:31,200
Thank you, guys. I owe you one.
104
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:32,700
I'm glad we could help.
105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,040
You sure did.
106
00:04:36,470 --> 00:04:39,300
Thank you, Miles. Thank you, Nia.
107
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:42,410
Talk about a great elevator pitch.
108
00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:44,040
You knew exactly how to help her.
109
00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:46,879
So that's it? Just on to the next one?
110
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,730
Usually I'll get another
Friend Suggestion
111
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:50,480
to let me know that
my work here is done.
112
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:54,750
Um...
113
00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:58,300
- kind of like this.
- _
114
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,920
But it usually doesn't happen this fast.
115
00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:03,860
Well, Miles, looks like
you're gonna have a busy day.
116

117
00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:12,280
Morning.
118
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:22,200
Morning.
119
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:30,040
_
120
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:31,440
What?
121
00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:34,090
I have to meet someone about a story.
122
00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:36,760
Let me guess. Miles?
123
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:38,040
Great guess.
124
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:40,600
Have you told him we're dating?
125
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,220
No.
126
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,160
I mean, this just happened.
127
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,440
Miles and I are just friends,
128
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:52,360
but you're right. I should tell him.
129
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,500
We send out a piece of
the God Account's code
130
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,140
hoping to lure out Falken,
131
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,340
and instead we got every
nut job on the Dark Web
132
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,519
claiming to actually be Falken.
133
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,900
Can you blame them? Falken's been an
134
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:07,570
urban legend for almost a decade.
135
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:09,019
Nobody knows who he really is,
136
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,659
beyond being a genius coder
137
00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:13,300
and a giant fan of the
movie "War Games."
138
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,819
You ever read his manifestos on AI
139
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:17,836
that he posted when he first
appeared on the chat rooms?
140
00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:19,620
They are sublime.
141
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:21,799
Wait. Wait. Wait.
142
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,270
Go... go back up to that
message from FIBONACCI61.
143
00:06:25,340 --> 00:06:27,680
Fibonacci? As in the mathematician.
144
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,019
Mm-hmm, the God Account's
got a thing for Fibonacci.
145
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:31,040
Open it.
146
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,559
- _
- 1,600, 4:00,
147
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,600
with coordinates to a location.
148
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,580
It's for Strawberry
Fields in Central Park.
149
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,799
The seed pattern on strawberries
150
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,220
adhere to the Fibonacci sequence.
151
00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:58,060
Whoever this is, they're legit.
152
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,650
Wait, so you and a girl from
class saved a pregnant lady?
153
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:04,499
No, no, no. We talked her down
154
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:05,880
from having a panic attack
155
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,120
and saved ourselves from
delivering her baby.
156
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:09,960
You made me come all the way over here,
157
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:11,900
and you've already helped
your Friend Suggestion?
158
00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:14,890
Okay, sorry, guys. Sorry.
159
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,099
Lucy and I might have
made contact with someone
160
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,440
who knows Falken.
161
00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:20,280
- No way. Who are they?
- I don't know.
162
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:22,600
Just... they go by the
username FIBONACCI61,
163
00:07:22,670 --> 00:07:25,800
and they sent us coordinates
related to the sequence,
164
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:28,380
and they want to meet
later this afternoon.
165
00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:30,510
- Is it legit?
- Not sure.
166
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,780
Let Lucy and me check
this one out first.
167
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,450
I don't want to scare him
off with too many people.
168
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:37,250
Okay, well, I'm gonna head out,
169
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,850
- unless there's anything else...
- Actually, yeah, after Blair,
170
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,590
I got a new Friend Suggestion,
171
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,560
and this time I'm really
not sure how we can help.
172
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:49,090
Come on. We always say that.
173
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,040
How bad could their problem be?
174
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,880
His name is Sal Thompkins,
175
00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:00,400
71, he was a divorce lawyer,
176
00:08:00,470 --> 00:08:04,080
and as of a month ago...
177
00:08:04,940 --> 00:08:07,260
he's dead.
178
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,180
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
179
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,580
How does the God account
expect me to help a dead guy?
180
00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:24,360
Well, think of this way...
you can't make it any worse.
181
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:27,650
Maybe we're supposed to help
someone he left behind.
182
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Did he have any family?
183
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,670
Nah, according to his obituary
184
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,330
he had no surviving relatives.
185
00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:34,260
His wife died years ago.
186
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:37,280
Then why send the Friend Suggestion now?
187
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:41,160
Uh, guys, I think I know.
188
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:45,100
Oh, his estate sale's today at
his brownstone in Brooklyn.
189
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:46,870
Well, whatever's going on
190
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,920
it looks like the answer's
at Sal's brownstone.
191
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,480
I love estate sales.
192
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:58,040
You guys ever seen "Estate Sale Wars"?
193
00:08:58,060 --> 00:08:59,559
I am obsessed.
194
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,020
You don't think it's weird,
195
00:09:01,090 --> 00:09:02,979
shopping for a dead person's stuff?
196
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:04,440
Absolutely not.
197
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,030
- Nice paintings.
- Look around.
198
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,520
There's no photos of
his wife or friends.
199
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,700
So how do you know what's for sale?
200
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:14,640
Everything is for sale.
201
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:17,599
- This fork is for sale?
- Yeah.
202
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,180
- That lamp is for sale?
- Yeah.
203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,680
Can we focus? Okay.
204
00:09:21,740 --> 00:09:23,510
This a three-floor brownstone.
205
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:25,199
We need to divide and conquer.
206
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,410
There has to be something in here
207
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:28,710
that will tell us what we're
supposed to do for Sal.
208
00:09:28,780 --> 00:09:31,280
Hopefully, we'll know it when we see it.
209
00:09:41,630 --> 00:09:44,230
Dad, I'm sure Trish will be here soon.
210
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,240
I know.
211
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,560
Oh, I thought detected some nerves.
212
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,100
Why would I be nervous?
213
00:09:49,170 --> 00:09:50,859
Trish and I have gone out on one date.
214
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:52,470
It was a very nice time,
215
00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:55,480
and so we are going to go out again.
216
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,979
It is as simple as that.
217
00:09:57,980 --> 00:09:59,900
Right.
218
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:01,660
And there she is.
219
00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:05,740
- Dad, she's a fox.
- Mm-hmm.
220
00:10:06,620 --> 00:10:08,440
- Trish.
- Hey, Arthur.
221
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,790
- How are you?
- Good, how are you?
222
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,060
Good to see you.
223
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:15,120
I'd like you to meet my daughter, Ali.
224
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,599
I'm a hugger.
225
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,530
I'm a hugger too.
226
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,900
I'm so glad we're getting to do this.
227
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:23,440
Thank you.
228
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:27,280
So your dad has told me so
much about you and Miles.
229
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:29,610
- Everything good I assume.
- Hmm.
230
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,980
I want to thank you so much
for fixing my dad's sax.
231
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,650
You should hear him play.
He hasn't lost a step.
232
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,550
I don't know that I would go that far.
233
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:40,050
I keep telling him he needs
to get out and play.
234
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,320
I mean, don't they have those
235
00:10:41,330 --> 00:10:42,960
open mic nights for musicians?
236
00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:44,840
They do, and, in fact,
237
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,960
my friend who runs the Blue Danube,
238
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:48,660
he puts one on every Saturday night.
239
00:10:48,730 --> 00:10:51,630
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
that is tomorrow night.
240
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,660
That would be so much fun.
241
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,670
- No.
- Arthur, this is so low key.
242
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:59,470
We could pack the house
with family and friends.
243
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,300
I would really love to hear you play.
244
00:11:11,550 --> 00:11:12,660
Sure, why not?
245
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,440
Yes.
246
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,980
So how did your date
with Eli go, by the way?
247
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,230
Uh... yeah, it went well.
248
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:27,460
You gonna see him again?
249
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:30,040
Yeah, well, I mean, probably.
250
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:32,200
Cool.
251
00:11:32,270 --> 00:11:33,840
Hey, you guys find anything?
252
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,510
Uh, not yet.
253
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:41,810
What?
254
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,280
My dad has this same desk in
his office at the church.
255
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,390
It's the only thing in the
entire house not for sale.
256
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:50,580
You guys think the God
Account sent us here
257
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,840
- to find this deck?
- It's possible.
258
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Look at this.
259
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,760
"To Alfie."
260
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,080
Looks like a younger version of Sal.
261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,140
The kid must be Alfie.
262
00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:08,180
Sal's obituary didn't mention
anything about him having kids.
263
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Matthew 6:21.
264
00:12:12,510 --> 00:12:13,960
That's a Bible verse.
265
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,920
"For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also."
266
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:20,120
Wait, treasure? So, what,
267
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:21,736
Sal left behind a clue
to a treasure hunt?
268
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,230
I don't know, but this is
the only personal thing
269
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:26,520
in Sal's entire house.
270
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:28,190
Plus, he kept it safe.
271
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840
This has to be what the God
account sent us here for.
272
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Hello, I'm in charge of the estate sale.
273
00:12:32,770 --> 00:12:33,860
Can I help you?
274
00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:36,440
Actually, yes.
275
00:12:36,580 --> 00:12:39,420
Do you know who Alfie is?
276
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:42,200
He was Mr. Thompkin's stepson.
277
00:12:42,410 --> 00:12:43,850
This desk was left to him,
278
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,910
but when I contacted him,
he declined to accept it.
279
00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:50,350
I got the impression
they were estranged.
280
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:52,520
Probably why he wasn't
listed in the obituary.
281
00:12:52,590 --> 00:12:54,780
Any chance you can give
us Alfie's information?
282
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Sorry, I'm not permitted
to give that out,
283
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:59,430
but let me know if you'd
like to purchase the desk.
284
00:12:59,490 --> 00:13:02,240
No reason to hold on to it any longer.
285
00:13:03,930 --> 00:13:06,240
Whatever the God Account
wants us to do for Sal,
286
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,560
it must have to do with his stepson.
287
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,000
We need to find Alfie.
288
00:13:10,060 --> 00:13:12,570
All right, well, let
me know how it goes.
289
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,440
I kind of have a
FaceTime date with Jaya,
290
00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:17,200
get camera ready.
291
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,380
Don't judge me.
292
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:25,920
You think Rakesh could be
right about the verse?
293
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:27,820
This is about some treasure
hunt for something
294
00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:29,019
Sal left for his step-son?
295
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:31,290
Well, maybe. We just need to find Alfie.
296
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,730
Question is how.
297
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:34,570
I mean, I looked up
Alfie Thompkins online.
298
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:37,230
I didn't find anything.
299
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,370
You know, his mother's
maiden name was Collins.
300
00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:40,540
Maybe he goes by that.
301
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:42,820
Great. I'll run his name through
302
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,020
the IdentitySeal system,
see if we get a match.
303
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,910
Miles, don't bother.
304
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:50,420
- What do you mean?
- Look.
305
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:54,320
_
306
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Your honor, Alfie Collins on behalf
307
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:09,120
of the plaintiff, Mr. Joe Ellis.
308
00:14:09,190 --> 00:14:11,620
We're seeking damages in
the amount of $50,000
309
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,560
that stem from a debilitating injury
310
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:15,860
he suffered after falling
in a City Foods Market.
311
00:14:15,930 --> 00:14:17,200
Thank you, Counsel.
312
00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:20,339
This matter is set for trial
next Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.
313
00:14:22,770 --> 00:14:24,279
They're gonna try to settle at 25.
314
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,300
We'll meet 'em in the middle.
315
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:27,120
Get ready for a nice payday, pal.
316
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,060
- Alfie Collins.
- Yes.
317
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,550
Miles Finer. This is Cara Bloom.
318
00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:37,010
We called earlier.
319
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:39,400
Oh, right, said you're
looking for an attorney?
320
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,250
Not exactly.
321
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,720
We were hoping to speak with you
322
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,520
about your stepfather, Sal Thompkins.
323
00:14:46,130 --> 00:14:47,980
I told his estate I
didn't want anything.
324
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,940
We're not actually with his estate.
325
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,440
We found this photo of you two.
326
00:14:53,330 --> 00:14:57,340
Do you know why he wrote
Matthew 6:21 on the back?
327
00:14:58,870 --> 00:15:00,570
What?
328
00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:11,320
Where did you get this?
329
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:14,290
I haven't seen this photograph
in probably 20 years.
330
00:15:14,350 --> 00:15:17,550
Any idea why he wanted you to have it?
331
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:20,860
No, Sal wasn't exactly sentimental,
332
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,190
least not towards to me.
333
00:15:23,260 --> 00:15:25,240
He reached out a few
times before he died,
334
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:26,509
but I didn't return his call.
335
00:15:26,510 --> 00:15:27,830
Well, maybe that's what
336
00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:29,760
he was calling to talk to you about,
337
00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:32,900
to explain why he left the photo.
338
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:34,800
What does it matter?
339
00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:40,620
Look.
340
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,180
My dad died when I was two.
341
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,620
My mom remarried Sal
when I was around eight.
342
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,680
He tried to be a father to me at first,
343
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:48,400
but I don't think he ever wanted kids.
344
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,220
Well, why do you say that?
345
00:15:50,290 --> 00:15:52,250
He and my mom had only
been married a few years,
346
00:15:52,260 --> 00:15:53,460
and then she died
347
00:15:53,530 --> 00:15:55,860
and whatever relationship I
had with Sal died with her.
348
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:57,960
He sent me off to boarding school,
349
00:15:58,030 --> 00:15:59,710
and we'd only talk when
I needed something,
350
00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:02,370
or when I got into trouble
and he'd send a check.
351
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,030
I never wanted his money.
352
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:06,540
Worked my ass off to be twice
the lawyer that he ever was.
353
00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:09,360
Soon as I could support
myself, never saw him again.
354
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:11,420
And now...
355
00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:13,920
I never will.
356
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,300
How did you know him?
357
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,740
About that.
358
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,960
We were sent a Friend
Suggestion on Facebook for Sal
359
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,880
from someone calling themselves God.
360
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:32,760
Okay, really wish you would
have lead with that.
361
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:33,930
Think we're done here.
362
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,900
Look, obviously it's not God.
363
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:37,430
Okay, but there is someone out there
364
00:16:37,450 --> 00:16:39,880
sending me Suggestions for
people who need help.
365
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:42,900
Trust me, I get how it sounds,
366
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,740
but the account hasn't been wrong once.
367
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,160
Well, then this is the first,
368
00:16:47,170 --> 00:16:48,880
because you can't help a dead guy.
369
00:16:51,420 --> 00:16:54,100
Oh, I see, you're here to help me.
370
00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:56,120
Is that it? Make my peace with Sal?
371
00:16:56,190 --> 00:16:58,320
Let me save you the
trouble. I'm at peace.
372
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,180
He wrote the name of a
Bible verse about treasure
373
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,200
on the back of this picture.
374
00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:07,240
Isn't it possible he left you something
375
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:08,440
that he wants you to have?
376
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,100
What difference is it gonna make now?
377
00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:13,086
He didn't want anything to do
with me when he was alive.
378
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:14,870
Why should I want
anything to do with him
379
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,520
now that he's dead?
380
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,840
Nice meeting you.
381
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,550
Sounds like Sal shut down
after Alfie's mom died.
382
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:31,760
Yeah, I mean, my dad did the
same thing after my mom.
383
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:33,440
You know, he vanished into the church,
384
00:17:33,460 --> 00:17:35,630
and for a long time I
hated him for that.
385
00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:37,080
Well, you guys are better now, right?
386
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:39,500
Yeah, yeah, much, but
it took us a long time
387
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,700
to realize that the past is
in the past for a reason.
388
00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:46,290
Speaking of my dad, Ali texted me
389
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:47,640
and said that he's playing the sax
390
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:49,620
at the Blue Danube tomorrow night.
391
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,780
You should come. It'll be fun.
392
00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:53,980
Yeah, yeah, sounds great.
393
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Should bring Eli.
394
00:17:56,550 --> 00:17:58,200
Thanks, but he actually has plans.
395
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,490
So the God Account, you know,
396
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,620
they send us Sal to help
Alfie, and then they point us
397
00:18:05,690 --> 00:18:08,800
in the direction of a Bible
verse about a treasure.
398
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:09,900
Maybe that's the key?
399
00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:11,376
Right, but how are we
supposed to find it
400
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,480
if Sal didn't leave any
hint of the location?
401
00:18:13,540 --> 00:18:15,700
Well, maybe he did. What if the location
402
00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:17,790
is where the photo was taken?
403
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:21,700
_
404
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:23,810
Almost forgot, I'm...
405
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,340
I'm paired in this marketing
class I'm taking.
406
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,010
We're supposed to meet,
but I can cancel.
407
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:29,336
No, no, no, don't worry about it.
408
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,989
I'll call Rakesh. We'll
look into the photo,
409
00:18:30,990 --> 00:18:32,640
and I'll text you if we find anything.
410
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,860
Thanks.
411
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,540
Nice set-up.
412
00:18:36,690 --> 00:18:38,720
Maybe I'll guest on
your podcast sometime.
413
00:18:38,790 --> 00:18:39,879
I don't know.
414
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,090
I have a pretty rigorous
screening process.
415
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:44,730
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
416
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,199
I've heard you talk to your turtle
417
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,299
on more than one occasion.
418
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,870
Okay, Neil deGrasse Turtle has insight.
419
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:56,810
Joining me today is my
really good friend, Nia.
420
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,620
AKA DJ Trek.
421
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:00,800
Nia, you should know
422
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:04,450
from being such a huge,
huge fan of the podcast
423
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,060
that the Millennial Prophet is
about creating a dialogue,
424
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,570
sharing our personal perspectives
425
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:12,980
of how we arrived at our beliefs.
426
00:19:13,290 --> 00:19:15,020
Okay.
427
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,140
What about a survivor's perspective?
428
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:19,820
Survivor's?
429
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:22,460
Leukemia.
430
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:25,720
Diagnosed the day after
my 13th birthday.
431
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,540
Spent a year in and out of the hospital
432
00:19:28,550 --> 00:19:32,060
doing nothing but listening to music.
433
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,520
That's when I fell in love with it.
434
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:38,180
You're in remission?
435
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,880
11 years cancer free.
436
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:43,180
But I don't thank God for that.
437
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,819
I thank science
438
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,860
and all the amazing doctors
and nurses I watched heal me.
439
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:53,730
You just earned yourself
440
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,100
a spot on the Millennial Prophet.
441
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,200
Now that is a very big deal.
442
00:19:57,220 --> 00:19:58,340
It's highly competitive.
443
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,140
Oh, I'm honored,
444
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,520
but I do have one question for the host.
445
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:05,740
Fire away.
446
00:20:05,810 --> 00:20:09,540
I was wondering what he
was doing tomorrow night.
447
00:20:13,550 --> 00:20:19,940
Actually, my dad is playing
sax at the Blue Danube.
448
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:23,260
You should... you should come.
449
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,780
Like a date?
450
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,770
Yeah, like a date.
451
00:20:28,830 --> 00:20:31,300
Kay, I'm running a location
match on the photo.
452
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Hopefully, it won't take too long.
453
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:34,970
- Thanks, Rakesh.
- Yeah.
454
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,140
So you coming to the jazz
club tomorrow night?
455
00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:38,340
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
456
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,540
Bringing Eli? Wanna
meet this guy already.
457
00:20:40,580 --> 00:20:42,100
Yeah, I wasn't planning on it.
458
00:20:44,450 --> 00:20:47,980
I kind of told Miles that
Eli had other plans.
459
00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:52,400
Oh, the whole keeping the
worlds separate thing, huh?
460
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,490
- What?
- Yeah, no, I get it.
461
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,520
Secret's safe with me.
462
00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:57,340
No, I'm not separating anything.
463
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:59,630
- That's not a thing.
- Yeah, it is, Cara.
464
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:01,319
You've got your world with Eli
465
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,169
where you go out for dinners
466
00:21:03,170 --> 00:21:05,770
and have romantic evenings
on rooftop gardens,
467
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,410
and then you have the God Account world
468
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:09,740
where you got Miles,
469
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,140
where you go for adventures,
470
00:21:11,150 --> 00:21:12,799
where you get inspiration
for your articles.
471
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,960
It's two worlds.
472
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,520
Separate.
473
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,440
It's not true.
474
00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:22,750
- Not at all.
- Kay.
475
00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:25,260
Hey, bingo. We got a match.
476
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,920
Looks like the photo was taken
477
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:29,120
at the Marina in Battery Park City.
478
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:30,150
Great.
479
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,039
All right, I got to go.
480
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,200
Lucy and I are gonna
go meet FIBONACCI61.
481
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,380
Good luck.
482
00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:39,240
I'll see you.
483
00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:57,220
Might as well make
ourselves comfortable.
484
00:21:57,540 --> 00:21:58,879
23 minutes late.
485
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,420
I'm beginning to think he got cold feet.
486
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,100
He isn't gonna show.
487
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,260
_
488
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,920
FIBONACCI61?
489
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:14,710
No, my girlfriend.
490
00:22:14,770 --> 00:22:17,600
She canceled on a FaceTime
date with me earlier.
491
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,360
You wanna talk about it?
492
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:27,140
It's just the whole long
distance thing, you know?
493
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:28,939
Like, I'm all about technology,
494
00:22:28,940 --> 00:22:31,420
but not as a conduit for a relationship.
495
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:33,200
Makes sense.
496
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:35,140
What about you? You seeing anyone?
497
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,099
- Who has the time?
- Yeah.
498
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:43,230
Speaking of which, I'm
thinking we should call it.
499
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,260
Whoever sent that message isn't coming.
500
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:48,140
Kay.
501
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:49,460
Looks like this photo was taken
502
00:22:49,470 --> 00:22:51,520
somewhere around here near the Marina.
503
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:54,580
Those lamp posts look similar.
504
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:00,580
Hey, so, is it still cool
if I bring Eli tomorrow?
505
00:23:00,650 --> 00:23:01,940
His plans fell through.
506
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,590
Yeah, yeah, of course,
why wouldn't it be?
507
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:08,560
I don't know. I guess, um...
508
00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:13,660
Well, we're actually kind
of seeing each other,
509
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:17,070
like, officially.
510
00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:20,320
That's great. No, I'm happy for you.
511
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,560
Thanks.
512
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,950
You know, you're actually the one
513
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,760
that gave me the confidence
to take a leap...
514
00:23:26,770 --> 00:23:28,080
You better not say of faith.
515
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:31,320
I wouldn't dare.
516
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:38,260
Hey, it looks like the photo
was taken right here.
517
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:43,620
I don't see anything.
518
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:46,699
Maybe I was wrong.
519
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:48,740
Maybe it's not about where
the photo was taken.
520
00:23:48,770 --> 00:23:50,560
No, no, no, no, you were right.
521
00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:51,999
Matthew wasn't a Bible verse.
522
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,050
Look.
523
00:23:56,780 --> 00:23:58,200
That must be Sal's boat.
524
00:23:58,260 --> 00:24:01,800
Yeah, whatever we're looking
for must be inside.
525
00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:15,330
The paintings at the
estate sale were his.
526
00:24:15,390 --> 00:24:17,400
Sal was a painter.
527
00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:25,280
There must be something
that we're missing.
528
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,780
It's safe.
529
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,140
Wow. Looks like it needs a 3-digit code.
530
00:24:30,210 --> 00:24:33,420
Matthew 6:21. 621 could be the code.
531
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:34,640
Yeah, yeah, try it.
532
00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:38,800
Hello?
533
00:24:43,340 --> 00:24:46,180
Uh... what are you doing here?
534
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,390
We could ask you the same thing.
535
00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:50,720
You lied to us
536
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,640
about not knowing where
the picture was taken,
537
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:54,140
about Matthew, all of it.
538
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,540
Why?
539
00:24:55,780 --> 00:24:57,480
Because I don't know you,
540
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:59,420
and you were claiming God sent you.
541
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,000
Why would I tell you anything?
542
00:25:02,110 --> 00:25:03,880
He has a point.
543
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,160
You still think Sal left
me some kind of treasure?
544
00:25:06,220 --> 00:25:07,360
Yes, we do.
545
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,980
His safe has a 3-digit code
546
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,130
just like the numbers on
the back of the picture.
547
00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:12,600
Well...
548
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,340
what are you waiting for?
549
00:25:31,980 --> 00:25:34,480
It's a book.
550
00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:41,140
"A Day At Sea," written and
illustrated by Sal Thompkins.
551
00:25:41,210 --> 00:25:42,779
He wrote a children's book.
552
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:44,850
- No way.
- Here.
553
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,320
See for yourself.
554
00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:50,920
This doesn't make any sense.
555
00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:53,340
Why would Sal write a children's book?
556
00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:03,420
Wait, wait, wait. Alfie, wait!
557
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:09,200
Miles...
558
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,440
you have to see this.
559
00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:17,580
"To Alfie... All the things
I wish I could have said.
560
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,020
I love you."
561
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:33,850
The story's about the father
Sal wished he could have been.
562
00:26:34,420 --> 00:26:36,440
All the things he wanted to tell Alfie.
563
00:26:36,450 --> 00:26:38,740
- He loved him.
- Well, you know,
564
00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:41,349
you'd think that'd be
good news for Alfie.
565
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:43,020
Why would he take off?
566
00:26:44,860 --> 00:26:47,350
When you grow up thinking
a parent didn't love you,
567
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,700
it kind of becomes a
part of who you are.
568
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,180
I used the pain just like
Alfie did to motivate myself,
569
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,930
prove myself.
570
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,420
Alfie said he became twice
the lawyer Sal was,
571
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,980
but you saw Sal's house.
572
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,510
He was pretty successful.
573
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:04,719
Yeah, and Alfie's an ambulance chaser
574
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,850
advertising on bus stops.
575
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,950
Yeah, what did he mean by that?
576
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:10,020
Guys, I think I might know.
577
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,800
Look at this. Alfie used to be
578
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:13,550
one of the top litigators in New York.
579
00:27:13,620 --> 00:27:15,780
Alfie? Are you sure?
580
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:17,579
Yeah, this article I
just found says that
581
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:20,250
he was one of the youngest
partners at a power law firm
582
00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:23,230
until about six months ago
when he suddenly left.
583
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:24,830
What happened six months ago?
584
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:25,920
Doesn't say.
585
00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:27,740
Well, Sal died a month ago,
586
00:27:27,770 --> 00:27:30,120
so whatever happened wasn't about that.
587
00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:31,990
Can you check his Facebook history?
588
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,500
Maybe he posted something back
then that can give us a clue.
589
00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:37,710
- This is weird.
- What?
590
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:39,170
Well, Alfie posts a lot,
591
00:27:39,180 --> 00:27:41,950
but if you go back six months,
there's this huge gap.
592
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:44,319
Oh, maybe he took a break from Facebook.
593
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,380
I mean, we all do it.
594
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
No, this was deliberate.
595
00:27:48,390 --> 00:27:50,900
I think Alfie did a major
purge around that time.
596
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,499
You know how people scrub photo tags
597
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,530
or timelines in order to hide things?
598
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,380
Alfie scrubbed pretty much
everything from that period.
599
00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:00,580
Something must have happened,
600
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,240
and he doesn't want
to be reminded of it.
601
00:28:02,260 --> 00:28:04,140
I mean, I can try and
recover what he erased,
602
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,400
it's just gonna take some time.
603
00:28:05,910 --> 00:28:08,170
If he was at a high-powered firm,
604
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,040
he'd have an assistant, right?
605
00:28:10,110 --> 00:28:11,299
Maybe a paralegal
606
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:12,699
who knew what was going
on in his life then?
607
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:14,320
- That's a good idea.
- On it.
608
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,740
Kay, firm directory, employee list,
609
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:20,150
backlog history.
610
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,540
Here we go.
611
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,660
His assistant was a
woman named Janet Bell.
612
00:28:29,020 --> 00:28:30,180
Thanks for meeting us.
613
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,030
I only get 45 minutes for lunch,
614
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,520
and I'm not sure what I can tell you.
615
00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:35,899
Any cases he was working on
back then are privileged.
616
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,140
We understand, and like
we said on the phone
617
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,540
we just want to help him.
618
00:28:39,620 --> 00:28:41,060
Can you tell us why he left?
619
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,180
Look, I like Alfie.
620
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:44,980
Are you sure this is about helping him?
621
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Yeah, we promise.
622
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Alfie was driven, obsessed with work,
623
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:51,979
with proving himself,
624
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:54,250
but then something changed in him.
625
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,699
I wasn't sure what it was
626
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,760
until he started having me
send someone roses every week.
627
00:28:59,930 --> 00:29:01,160
He had a girlfriend?
628
00:29:01,180 --> 00:29:02,439
He never told me her name,
629
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,300
but every Friday for months
I'd send them to an address,
630
00:29:05,530 --> 00:29:07,520
and then one day, out of the blue,
631
00:29:07,540 --> 00:29:08,699
he told me to stop.
632
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:10,940
Let me guess, six months ago?
633
00:29:11,810 --> 00:29:13,680
He tried to bury himself back in work,
634
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:17,060
but whoever she was, she
changed something in him,
635
00:29:17,310 --> 00:29:19,880
for the better if you ask me.
636
00:29:20,110 --> 00:29:21,439
He quit soon after.
637
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,920
People just assumed he burned
out, but I knew better.
638
00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:27,860
You wouldn't be able to get
us her address, would you?
639
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,090
Please, every Friday for months?
640
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,360
I know it by heart.
641
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,880
Ali, hey, what are you doing here?
642
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,800
A daughter can't pop in
643
00:29:44,820 --> 00:29:46,310
and say hi to her dad for no reason?
644
00:29:46,340 --> 00:29:47,740
Well, I don't know. Can she?
645
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,540
So Trish came to the bar to see me.
646
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,660
- Ah. Hmm.
- She said you changed
647
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,150
your mind about playing tonight.
648
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:57,790
Yeah, I'm just not ready to play
649
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,500
in front of a bunch of
people. It's no big deal.
650
00:30:00,540 --> 00:30:01,860
I know.
651
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,500
I wanted to give you this.
652
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:14,660
A pocket square.
653
00:30:15,460 --> 00:30:18,420
I haven't worn one of these since...
654
00:30:19,870 --> 00:30:20,940
your mother.
655
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,399
I know.
656
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,610
I also know how much you
loved playing for mom.
657
00:30:26,980 --> 00:30:28,380
I was too young to really remember,
658
00:30:28,420 --> 00:30:30,759
but I imagined it was one of those
659
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,440
special things between you two.
660
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,720
Mm-hmm.
661
00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:36,520
Dad,
662
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:39,000
is this about playing for Trish?
663
00:30:41,530 --> 00:30:43,160
When you mother was in the audience,
664
00:30:43,180 --> 00:30:46,100
I played every note for her.
665
00:30:46,580 --> 00:30:48,700
I mean, the house could
have been packed,
666
00:30:48,770 --> 00:30:53,710
but it was like there was
a spotlight on her face,
667
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:57,540
on her smile, that only I could see.
668
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,150
Now, I know it's
tragically old-fashioned
669
00:31:01,170 --> 00:31:04,760
not to want to play for
anyone else, but...
670
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,280
it's like you say,
671
00:31:07,540 --> 00:31:12,900
it was something special
just between us.
672
00:31:14,220 --> 00:31:17,480
I get that, Dad...
673
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:21,870
but I also think it may be time
674
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,320
for you to play for someone else.
675
00:31:29,010 --> 00:31:33,060
And if you want it to be for Trish...
676
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,320
that's okay.
677
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:37,600
Mom would want you to.
678
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,619
Think it's the next one over.
679
00:31:43,620 --> 00:31:44,819
Just hope she still lives here.
680
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:47,260
Me too. I wonder why they broke up.
681
00:31:47,330 --> 00:31:49,330
Alfie obviously took it
hard, so what happened?
682
00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:51,740
Guess we're gonna find out.
683
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,380
- Blair?
- Miles?
684
00:32:04,950 --> 00:32:06,520
You guys know each other?
685
00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:07,780
What are you doing here?
686
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:10,660
We're... we're here because of Alfie.
687
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,000
He's the father, isn't he?
688
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,540
How do you know Alfie?
689
00:32:18,580 --> 00:32:20,090
It's a long story,
690
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:21,900
but one I think you need to hear.
691
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,960
_
692
00:32:33,970 --> 00:32:35,310
It's a lot to take in.
693
00:32:35,380 --> 00:32:38,640
We know, but it brought us here to you.
694
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:40,280
So that must mean something.
695
00:32:40,350 --> 00:32:43,120
And this has some sort of
Happily Ever After Ending?
696
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,200
I thought it did too.
697
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,880
And then you got pregnant?
698
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:49,280
Alfie tried to be supportive,
but I could see it.
699
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,690
His relationship with Sal scared him.
700
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,540
He thought he wasn't
equipped to be a father.
701
00:32:57,770 --> 00:33:00,170
And then...
702
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:03,880
the day that we were supposed
to find out the sex of the baby
703
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,080
he didn't show up.
704
00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:09,760
He just walked away.
705
00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:15,180
I couldn't break through.
706
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:17,180
I'm not so sure about that.
707
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:23,240
After he left you, he quit his job.
708
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,400
He wasn't the same person anymore.
709
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:29,190
Look, I think he's lost.
710
00:33:29,260 --> 00:33:33,170
Caught between the person
who he thinks he is
711
00:33:33,230 --> 00:33:36,640
and the person that he
wants to be for you.
712
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,920
Oh, God.
713
00:33:38,060 --> 00:33:40,070
It's not too late, Blair.
714
00:33:40,140 --> 00:33:43,610
No, I mean, oh, God, I
think my water just broke.
715
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,470
- Oh!
- Uh, okay.
716
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,480
My ready bag is... is
in the hallway closet.
717
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,120
I called a Lyft.
718
00:33:56,190 --> 00:33:57,819
Stay with Blair.
719
00:33:57,820 --> 00:33:59,520
- Where are you going?
- To find Alfie.
720
00:33:59,590 --> 00:34:00,840
Are you sure that's such a good idea?
721
00:34:00,860 --> 00:34:03,260
I don't know, but I have to try.
722
00:34:15,310 --> 00:34:16,340
You again?
723
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:17,700
I know about Blair.
724
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,500
I'd tell you to leave me alone,
but that doesn't seem to work.
725
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,719
How did you find me anyway?
726
00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:28,340
I have a friend that knows
his way around the web.
727
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:29,759
He was able to retrieve
728
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,030
most of the photos of you
and Blair that you erased.
729
00:34:33,090 --> 00:34:36,020
This place was in more
than a few of them.
730
00:34:38,970 --> 00:34:40,370
What do you want, man?
731
00:34:40,430 --> 00:34:43,540
Blair is on her way to
the hospital with Cara.
732
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,969
Today's the day.
733
00:34:44,970 --> 00:34:47,660
In a couple of hours,
you're gonna be a father.
734
00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:50,810
What do you think you...
735
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,519
come down here, give me some speech,
736
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,600
and I just change my mind?
737
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:56,070
No, I think you came to the place
738
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,180
that was most important to you and Blair
739
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,400
because that's exactly what
you were hoping you'd do.
740
00:35:02,890 --> 00:35:05,920
I think you became twice
the lawyer that Sal was
741
00:35:05,940 --> 00:35:08,400
to try and prove that you
weren't anything like him.
742
00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:12,780
Now's your chance to
be twice the father.
743
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,000
- I can't be a father.
- Oh, man.
744
00:35:20,020 --> 00:35:23,480
I am doing her and that baby
a favor by staying away.
745
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:25,819
Don't you think that
should be her choice,
746
00:35:25,820 --> 00:35:27,320
his choice?
747
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,560
- It's a boy?
- Yes.
748
00:35:37,860 --> 00:35:40,940
The only thing I know about
fatherhood is how not to do it.
749
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:47,180
Actually, that sounds like
a good place to start.
750
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:50,199
Plus, I'm pretty sure
751
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,900
they have a few books on the subject,
752
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,410
but I'd start with this one.
753
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,880
It's about a boy and his
father who go sailing.
754
00:35:58,950 --> 00:36:01,050
The boy keeps asking him questions,
755
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,319
but the father's too sad to respond,
756
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,060
so the wind starts answering for him.
757
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:10,420
Telling him all the things he
wished he could have said.
758
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,840
The seagull that followed me.
759
00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:18,760
I can't believe he remembered that.
760
00:36:21,340 --> 00:36:25,300
Being on that boat was one of the few...
761
00:36:25,370 --> 00:36:27,440
times that I didn't feel invisible,
762
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:30,100
like, Sal could actually...
763
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,300
see me.
764
00:36:33,350 --> 00:36:34,720
He did.
765
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,020
This is his way of telling you.
766
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,720
You have a choice, Alfie.
767
00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:47,180
You can come with me right now
768
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:50,539
and figure out a way to
be in your child's life,
769
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:54,100
or you can wait for 30 years
770
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,000
to write a book about
how you wish you had.
771
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,210
Hey.
772
00:37:08,220 --> 00:37:09,850
Blair got here in plenty of time.
773
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,280
Baby wasn't in any distress.
774
00:37:15,590 --> 00:37:17,340
What if she doesn't want to see me,
775
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,280
doesn't want me to be part of his life?
776
00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:25,700
Then prove to them you deserve to be.
777
00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:39,080
Hey.
778
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,760
He just wants to talk.
779
00:37:46,860 --> 00:37:47,980
No.
780
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:52,900
You said you owed me one.
781
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,880
In the elevator, remember?
782
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,580
All I'm asking you to do is listen.
783
00:38:11,810 --> 00:38:13,480
You left us, Alfie.
784
00:38:13,550 --> 00:38:16,300
You don't get to just
waltz back into my life,
785
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,240
or this baby's,
786
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,560
and pretend like nothing happened.
787
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:25,390
You're right.
788
00:38:25,460 --> 00:38:28,790
I don't expect you to ever
forget what happened.
789
00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:31,960
I'm not asking you to take me back.
790
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,080
I'm only asking you let
me be a part of his life.
791
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,680
In whatever way you allow.
792
00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:46,580
And while I have
793
00:38:46,650 --> 00:38:48,750
absolutely no reference
794
00:38:48,820 --> 00:38:51,340
for what being a good dad looks like,
795
00:38:52,650 --> 00:38:56,400
I know more than anyone
how much it matters.
796
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:03,330
I'm not making any promises,
797
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,020
but if I was open to it
798
00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:09,230
what would that look like?
799
00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:16,360
I'd start by reading him a story.
800
00:39:19,710 --> 00:39:21,360
I think he'd like that.
801
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:34,200
Sometimes it's hard not to
see our lives as a story.
802
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:40,050
We assume that the past
chapters in our lives,
803
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,560
our history, have led
to where we are now.
804
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,740
We feel beholden to it,
805
00:39:46,810 --> 00:39:50,400
tied to the story that got us here.
806
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,580
But what happens when that
story starts to change?
807
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:03,760
Hey, man, thanks for inviting us.
808
00:40:03,780 --> 00:40:05,020
Thanks for coming.
809
00:40:05,390 --> 00:40:07,230
Hey.
810
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,960
- Hey, man, Rakesh.
- Lucy.
811
00:40:12,170 --> 00:40:13,900
Eli.
812
00:40:13,970 --> 00:40:16,180
Do you know what changed his mind?
813
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,940
You know musicians, could
have been anything.
814
00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:22,140
- Hey.
- Here.
815
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,920
Oh, hey, I'm Nia.
816
00:40:25,940 --> 00:40:28,300
Hi, how do you guys know each other?
817
00:40:28,450 --> 00:40:31,689
Well, Nia was the DJ
818
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:33,140
that kept covering up my posters,
819
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,719
and then somehow we both ended up
820
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,760
in that marketing class.
821
00:40:35,890 --> 00:40:37,290
I'd say it was fate,
822
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,779
but who believes in that
kind of thing, right?
823
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,800
Right.
824
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:46,500
Please welcome to the
stage Arthur Finer.
825
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:22,100
Sometimes the stories
we thought were over
826
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,640
are anything but,
827
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:26,719
and we realize that
828
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:32,040
happy endings are
rarely easy, or simple,
829
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,360
or expected as we thought,
830
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,400
but that doesn't mean
they aren't worth it.
831
00:41:47,660 --> 00:41:48,740
What?
832
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,319
Look.
833
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,860
_
834
00:41:54,140 --> 00:41:55,420
It's Falken.
835
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,360
I know it.
836
00:41:58,420 --> 00:41:59,940
What are you gonna do?
837
00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:01,740
I'm gonna find him.
838
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,820
But in the end,
839
00:42:03,940 --> 00:42:06,820
whether a new story is taking shape,
840
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,579
or an old one
841
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:12,780
is suddenly being replayed
in a new light...
842
00:42:12,850 --> 00:42:15,180
You good, Cara?
843
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,540
I'm just gonna grab us another drink.
844
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,940
What... yeah, no, I'm good.
845
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,400
You never know where a
really good story might go.
846
00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:42,980
