00:00:07,830 --> 00:00:10,000
Welcome back, podcast listeners.
2
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:12,900
A few months back, I
got a Friend Request
3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,020
from someone calling themselves God.
4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,050
They started sending
me Friend Suggestions
5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:18,760
for people who needed help.
6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,880
And while the God Account
7
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:22,400
has certainly turned
my life upside down,
8
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:25,820
it's brought some incredible
people into my world
9
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:29,260
and helped heal old wounds.
10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,400
But through it all, the
great mystery has been
11
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:34,390
who's behind the God Account
12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,480
and why did they choose me?
13
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,160
A few days ago, my friends and
I finally had a breakthrough.
14
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:42,950
It turns out, the Friend
Suggestions I've gotten
15
00:00:42,970 --> 00:00:45,470
have created a road map
to finding the man
16
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,670
we believe is behind it all:
17
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:50,920
Henry Chase, AKA Falken.
18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,080
But when we got there,
19
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:55,580
it wasn't Falken we
came face to face with.
20
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:02,120
My name is Pria Amar. I
wasn't lying about who I was.
21
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:04,050
I met Henry in college.
22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,190
What I didn't tell you was
that we fell in love,
23
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:07,680
started a life together.
24
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,690
So you know why he disappeared.
25
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:14,370
No, all I know is that when
he did, the life I built ended
26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,220
and I've been looking
for him ever since.
27
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:20,050
I'd almost given up hope,
when, a few weeks ago,
28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,280
I saw the piece of the
firewall you sent out.
29
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:27,060
I don't know much about code,
but after talking to Henry
30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,180
for years about his work,
I recognized it as his.
31
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:32,620
Why didn't you tell us any of
this when we met with you?
32
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:35,590
Because I didn't know
you. I still don't.
33
00:01:35,650 --> 00:01:37,940
But you've gotten
closer to finding Henry
34
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,360
in the last few months
than I have in ten years.
35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,610
But how do you know that?
36
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:44,470
When I sent Rakesh that text...
37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Oh, my God.
38
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:47,200
It had a mirror program inside it.
39
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:48,360
A friend of mine showed me
40
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:50,900
how to clone your phone
and access your computer.
41
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:54,540
And when I saw the spiral lead
to Henry's childhood home,
42
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:56,640
I thought he might be there.
43
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:59,540
But, instead, I found you.
44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,690
So we are all looking for Henry Chase.
45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,090
I mean, maybe that's why
we've been brought together,
46
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:08,460
to find him.
47
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:15,100
- Synced & corrected by MementMori -
-- www.addic7ed.com --
48
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:17,960
- How was your trip?
- Grandparents were good,
49
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:19,060
though they still can't understand
50
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,100
how playing music for
people is a real job.
51
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:24,000
So I'm guessing they're
not fans of Marshmello.
52
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:26,650
The kind you put in hot cocoa, yes.
53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,020
The international DJ kind, not so much.
54
00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:33,410
- I'm glad you're back.
- Yeah?
55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,170
Yeah, I missed you.
56
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,220
I missed you too.
57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,000
So is it fair to assume
you missed me enough
58
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:42,050
to check out the Thelonious
Monk documentary
59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,736
- at the Angelika tonight?
- Oh, you're on.
60
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,440
All right, hold on.
61
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:49,140
_
62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,900
Sorry, I have to go.
It's the God Account.
63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,700
I can come with.
64
00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:56,200
I held my own with the pregnant
lady in the elevator, remember?
65
00:02:56,220 --> 00:02:57,740
No, yes, yes, you did,
66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680
but this has nothing to do with
a Friend Suggestion, actually.
67
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:04,510
Oh, okay.
68
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:07,100
Well, if you ever want to talk
about things, I'm all ears.
69
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,950
You know, honestly, it's nice
70
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:11,800
to be able to take a
break from it with you.
71
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:14,240
Separation of church
and state, I get it.
72
00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:16,180
Thanks.
73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,640
Have you spoken to Eli
since you broke up?
74
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:29,790
No, I mean, we said our good-byes.
75
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,100
Better to just keep moving forward.
76
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,560
Besides, I think I'm happy
77
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:36,410
just focusing on myself for a while.
78
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,780
Speaking of focusing on yourself,
79
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,680
you've got a birthday on Saturday.
80
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:42,290
Any exciting plans?
81
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,040
I'm surprised you remembered.
82
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,210
Of course I remembered.
83
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:50,690
I always remembered.
84
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,090
Yeah, well, how would I know?
85
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
The last birthday you
were at, I was seven.
86
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:02,560
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,000
I'm just not a birthday
person, no big deal.
88
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:09,740
Okay.
89
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:12,320
_
90
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,980
Oh, it's Miles. I got to go.
91
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:17,220
- Of course.
- Tell Liv I said hi.
92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,920
I will. Cara.
93
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:24,660
If I don't see you
Saturday, happy birthday.
94
00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:33,620
I've kept these for ten years.
95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,140
I wasn't sure why until today.
96
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,040
These are Falken's journals.
97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,130
Yes. Whatever Henry was working on
98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,040
or thinking about went into these.
99
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:46,780
He was protective over his
work to the point of paranoia.
100
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:47,840
I thought there could be
101
00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:49,280
something in there that might help.
102
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:51,670
This is a window into
103
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:53,820
one of the greatest
hacker minds of all time.
104
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:55,300
This could definitely help.
105
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,050
_
106
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,180
Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is new.
107
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,080
The God Account just posted a link.
108
00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:02,330
For what?
109
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:04,900
Uh, it looks like a GoFundMe page.
110
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,060
Dr. Heidi James.
111
00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:08,180
She's a professor at
Columbia University.
112
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:11,050
Says that she's building some
kind of hearing aid prototype
113
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,420
designed for hearing loss
caused by a rare gene mutation.
114
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,580
Barely any donations
since the page went up.
115
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,280
She's not getting any traffic.
116
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:20,380
Maybe we could help with that.
117
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:21,800
I mean, I could reach out,
118
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:23,680
offer to write an article
about what she's doing.
119
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:25,200
Yeah, it might drive people to her site.
120
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:27,300
Helping people before they even need it,
121
00:05:27,340 --> 00:05:29,400
certainly sounds like
something Henry would do.
122
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,050
What do you mean?
123
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:33,010
When Henry was a little boy,
124
00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:35,430
he lost his sister to a tragic accident.
125
00:05:35,490 --> 00:05:36,860
It was something Henry
126
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:38,880
always believed could
have been prevented.
127
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:41,380
- How?
- Predictive analytics.
128
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,070
He talked about creating
an algorithm that,
129
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,450
with enough information,
130
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,620
could predict events before they happen.
131
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,460
That sounds like the God Account to me.
132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,760
We'll get in touch with Heidi.
133
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,640
You two focus on breaking
through this firewall.
134
00:05:57,750 --> 00:06:00,240
So, Rakesh, what do you think?
135
00:06:00,350 --> 00:06:02,440
Let's find Henry.
136
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:12,630
So what did Dr. James have to say?
137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,400
She was really excited
when I spoke to her,
138
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,670
said it was a passion project.
139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,126
She couldn't wait to get the word out.
140
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:19,090
Oh, she insisted we call her Heidi, FYI.
141
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,950
Oh, good to know. Look, I'm just glad
142
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:23,150
we don't have to explain
the God Account to her.
143
00:06:23,170 --> 00:06:25,270
Yeah, you're welcome.
144
00:06:25,340 --> 00:06:27,170
What would I do without you?
145
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,500
Yeah, well, lucky for you,
146
00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:30,740
you never have to worry about that.
147
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:33,410
So no regrets on turning down
148
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:35,410
the big promotion at "Catapult"?
149
00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:38,880
None.
150
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:40,280
Look, helping Heidi,
151
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:42,580
chasing these kinds of stories with you,
152
00:06:42,650 --> 00:06:44,590
this is exactly where I want to be.
153
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,800
It's a next-gen hearing aid
154
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:50,660
that pairs with a small processor.
155
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:53,570
It converts sound waves
into a numerical code,
156
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:55,620
kind of like a binary
code of a computer,
157
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:57,670
before it amplifies them.
158
00:06:59,170 --> 00:07:01,550
I'm sorry, this is boring.
I'm boring you.
159
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:03,420
No, I didn't even follow
160
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:05,440
enough of that to get bored so...
161
00:07:05,450 --> 00:07:07,920
Sometimes I forget that just because
162
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:09,590
the technical stuff is exciting to me
163
00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:11,810
doesn't mean it's exciting to others.
164
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Probably why my GoFundMe page
165
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:15,320
hasn't been gaining any traction.
166
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:17,130
Well, the technical aspect
of what you're doing
167
00:07:17,150 --> 00:07:18,610
is extremely important.
168
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:20,920
It's just, people don't tend
to root for the invention.
169
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:22,320
They root for the inventor.
170
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,500
So what drew you into researching
171
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:26,450
this particular gene mutation?
172
00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:28,990
That's easy. I'm a carrier,
173
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:31,970
which puts me at risk of
losing my hearing one day.
174
00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:33,700
You mentioned it was a hereditary gene.
175
00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:35,570
Is anyone else in your family a carrier?
176
00:07:35,610 --> 00:07:39,070
- I don't know.
- What do you mean?
177
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:41,500
I'm adopted. I never
met my birth parents,
178
00:07:41,530 --> 00:07:43,040
so I'm not even sure which one of them
179
00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:44,230
passed it down to me.
180
00:07:45,970 --> 00:07:48,430
Have you ever looked for them?
181
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:52,410
- No.
- You've never wanted to?
182
00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:53,600
They abandoned me.
183
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:55,910
What good would it do to find out why?
184
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,410
It's just, you've never been curious?
185
00:08:01,030 --> 00:08:04,450
Of course. As much as I love my parents,
186
00:08:04,470 --> 00:08:06,710
I'm Taiwanese and they're Caucasian.
187
00:08:06,810 --> 00:08:09,710
I've always felt a little
bit like an outsider.
188
00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:11,610
But at the end of the day,
189
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:13,430
having nothing but a mutated gene
190
00:08:13,450 --> 00:08:16,190
and a numbered bracelet
gave me a drive to prove
191
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,090
that I'm more than
just those two things.
192
00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:19,550
A numbered bracelet?
193
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:21,750
12-19-56-83.
194
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:25,270
I was left at a Safe Haven location
195
00:08:25,290 --> 00:08:27,950
- somewhere in New York.
- You memorized the numbers?
196
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:31,310
It's a reminder of how far I've come.
197
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,750
I made myself a promise
198
00:08:33,810 --> 00:08:37,790
that even though my birth
parents gave up on me,
199
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:40,570
I'll never give up on the
people who carry this gene.
200
00:08:42,490 --> 00:08:44,990
Oh, shoot, I have a
lecture I need to get to.
201
00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:46,770
Do you think you have
enough for the article?
202
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:49,470
Um, any chance I could come back later,
203
00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:50,860
ask a few follow up questions?
204
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:53,410
Of course. I'm always
here, whatever you need.
205
00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:54,900
Thanks.
206
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:00,870
Okay, this can't just be
about her GoFundMe Page.
207
00:09:00,890 --> 00:09:02,750
I think the God Account
208
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:05,450
wants us to help Heidi
find her birth parents.
209
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:08,510
You know, there's a code
jotted down in here
210
00:09:08,530 --> 00:09:10,120
that looks like it could
be an early version
211
00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:11,320
of the God Account firewall.
212
00:09:11,380 --> 00:09:13,230
Oh, could that help you crack it?
213
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:14,770
Let's find out.
214
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:19,130
- What's that?
- Uh, this contains
215
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:21,740
my decryption program
as well as a record
216
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:24,280
of every attempt I've made
to hack into God Account.
217
00:09:24,290 --> 00:09:25,900
Have you ever gotten close?
218
00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:27,560
Uh, this one time,
219
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:29,640
I tethered to the mainframe at work
220
00:09:29,650 --> 00:09:31,330
to boost computing power
221
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:34,370
and I ended up with this train schedule
222
00:09:34,390 --> 00:09:36,450
for two star-crossed lovers.
223
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:39,670
It turns out we needed it,
though, so our Friend Suggestion
224
00:09:39,690 --> 00:09:41,710
could stop his daughter from eloping.
225
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:44,950
You know, the more I hear
about the God Account,
226
00:09:44,970 --> 00:09:48,190
the more it sounds like something
Henry would be a part of.
227
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:52,550
You still love him, don't you?
228
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:55,550
Very much.
229
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:59,130
Henry always saw such beauty
in the world and humanity.
230
00:09:59,530 --> 00:10:03,190
He used to compare coding to magic.
231
00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:04,810
How so?
232
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:07,570
He said the end result
was like a good trick.
233
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:10,840
You didn't care how it was
done, only that it worked.
234
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:14,870
In the end, the only trick
was Henry's vanishing act.
235
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,190
Wait, Pria, that's it, a vanishing code.
236
00:10:20,270 --> 00:10:23,000
- A what?
- It's this invisible code
237
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:24,660
built into a host-based network
238
00:10:24,670 --> 00:10:27,410
that you can't see unless
you know how to expose it,
239
00:10:27,450 --> 00:10:30,840
which, luckily for us, I do.
240
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:34,750
- Oh, no.
- Well, that can't be good.
241
00:10:34,810 --> 00:10:37,150
Oh, no, no, it's not. We crashed.
242
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:39,360
I'm sorry, okay. Well,
let's take a break,
243
00:10:39,370 --> 00:10:43,810
um, while I reboot, and, uh,
I'll grab us some snacks.
244
00:10:43,830 --> 00:10:45,010
- Okay.
- Yeah.
245
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:46,240
Because I'm pretty hangry.
246
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:50,190
Are you sure about this?
247
00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:52,190
Look, I'm all for helping
Heidi, but she didn't seem like
248
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:53,530
she wanted to find her birth parents.
249
00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:54,640
Well, why can't we do both?
250
00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:55,940
Look, I'll write her article,
251
00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:57,150
and we help her find her parents.
252
00:10:57,170 --> 00:10:58,410
We have her Safe Haven ID number.
253
00:10:58,430 --> 00:10:59,650
It seems like a good place to start.
254
00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:01,590
Hold up.
255
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:06,490
You think maybe you're
pushing so hard in this
256
00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:08,670
because you see yourself in her?
257
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:11,670
- Excuse me?
- Look, I'm just saying.
258
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:13,950
You know what it's like
to search for a parent
259
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:16,390
and everything that comes with it.
260
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:22,750
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
261
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:25,710
And I also know how
much that eats at you,
262
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:27,770
not knowing why you were abandoned,
263
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:29,750
thinking your parents didn't want you.
264
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:34,350
Look, she's fighting it
now, but I think deep down,
265
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:36,760
Heidi wants to find her parents.
266
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:39,150
She's just been waiting.
267
00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:41,230
For what?
268
00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:43,990
For us.
269
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:47,910
Okay, maybe Rakesh
270
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:48,966
can track the ID number.
271
00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:50,820
_
272
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:55,180
_
273
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:56,920
What is it?
274
00:11:59,050 --> 00:12:00,170
Look.
275
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:05,210
Pria Amar, Henry Chase, Simon Hayes?
276
00:12:05,290 --> 00:12:07,330
Simon Hayes, the tech billionaire?
277
00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:08,390
Uh, excuse me, excuse me.
278
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,890
Could you tell us what
the Everett Award is?
279
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:12,890
Yeah, it's the most prestigious award
280
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:14,270
you can get in computer science.
281
00:12:14,290 --> 00:12:15,930
Thanks.
282
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,210
Pria said she didn't know anything
283
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:21,810
about computers or coding.
284
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:25,090
Yeah. Why keep that a secret?
285
00:12:29,690 --> 00:12:31,020
Miles.
286
00:12:31,450 --> 00:12:34,330
Yo, I don't mean to alarm you,
287
00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:37,110
but, uh, we're out of Dijon, my friend.
288
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:39,650
Rakesh, where's Pria?
289
00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:43,130
Um, she just left. Why?
290
00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:44,290
Because she's, like, a hacker,
291
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:46,350
like, a Falken-level hacker.
292
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:48,120
No way, bro, she...
293
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:52,100
- Oh, no.
- What?
294
00:12:52,170 --> 00:12:55,270
Oh, no. Uh...
295
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:58,830
Miles, Miles, she stole my thumb drive.
296
00:12:58,850 --> 00:13:00,680
It has my decryption program on it.
297
00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:06,490
Yo, if she hacks the
God Account before us,
298
00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:08,240
we'll never find Falken.
299
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,120
How could you not notice her
300
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:19,220
stealing your flash drive, Rakesh?
301
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,240
We... we were on a break, I got hungry.
302
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,690
You bought all that turkey,
and I love sandwiches.
303
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,320
Okay, how bad are we talking?
304
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,630
Well, she stole my decryption program
305
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:31,250
as well as a log of everything
we know about the firewall,
306
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:33,300
so pretty bad.
307
00:13:33,370 --> 00:13:36,070
- You don't have a backup?
- That was my backup.
308
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:38,060
I lost my first one when
I crashed the system
309
00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:39,320
at IdentitySeal.
310
00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:40,970
It doesn't make any sense.
311
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,250
She wants to find Falken
just as bad as us.
312
00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:45,410
- Why not work together?
- I don't know.
313
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:47,650
The lady clearly has trust issues.
314
00:13:47,710 --> 00:13:49,886
How'd you guys find out that
she was a superhacker, anyway?
315
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:52,250
She won some award in college.
316
00:13:52,270 --> 00:13:53,570
Her name was on the trophy
317
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:57,030
along with Henry Chase and Simon Hayes.
318
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:58,330
Simon Hayes?
319
00:13:58,350 --> 00:14:00,910
He's like the Bill Gates of AI, dude.
320
00:14:00,950 --> 00:14:02,256
You think he's got
something to do with this?
321
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,540
Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's
one of the many questions
322
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,100
we'll ask Pria once we find her.
323
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:08,680
So how do we do that?
324
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,540
Reverse LoJack.
325
00:14:17,610 --> 00:14:20,210
Every code I write has
my signature on it,
326
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,940
so the moment Pria logs in online
327
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:23,290
and tries to hack the God Account,
328
00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:24,926
we can just trace it
back to her location.
329
00:14:24,950 --> 00:14:26,780
Hey, finally, some good news.
330
00:14:26,850 --> 00:14:29,120
Okay, while we wait for Pria to log on,
331
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:31,390
um, can you run something for me?
332
00:14:31,450 --> 00:14:33,230
- Uh, okay.
- I think that we're supposed
333
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:35,060
to help Heidi find her birth parents.
334
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,690
The only problem is, she was left
335
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:38,260
at a Safe Haven location as a baby.
336
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:40,190
Safe Haven? That's, like, where they
337
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:42,400
drop off babies anonymously?
338
00:14:42,460 --> 00:14:45,030
Yeah. And a Safe Haven
location can be anything:
339
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:47,500
a police station, firehouse, hospital.
340
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,770
But I do have the numbers
from her ID bracelet.
341
00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:53,800
Okay. Yeah, I'll check it out.
342
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,240
I have a follow-up interview with Heidi,
343
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:56,590
so hopefully, I can get some more info,
344
00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,610
and narrow it down for you.
345
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:02,480
- You coming with?
- I can't.
346
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,520
I have to check up on something.
347
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:06,580
- I'll catch up with you later.
- Okay.
348
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,500
Call me if you get anything on Pria.
349
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,600
- Miles, hi.
- Hey.
350
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
- Thanks for meeting me.
- Yeah, of course.
351
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,250
So...
352
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,230
what'd you want to talk about?
353
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:39,750
Saturday is Cara's birthday.
354
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,980
What? Well, she didn't say anything.
355
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:45,460
No, because she doesn't
celebrate it anymore.
356
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:46,940
How come?
357
00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:49,320
Because of me.
358
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,480
When I left, her
birthdays must have been
359
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:56,940
a painful reminder that
I wasn't there for her.
360
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:01,660
And I don't blame her,
but here's the thing...
361
00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:05,170
When she was a little girl,
362
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:07,460
her birthdays were everything.
363
00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:09,500
She used to keep a countdown calendar
364
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,550
leading up to the day,
and then, the next day,
365
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,200
she'd start planning for the next one.
366
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,960
I want her to have that day back,
367
00:16:16,020 --> 00:16:17,660
to feel that way again.
368
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,620
We can do that.
369
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:22,200
My sister runs a bar.
370
00:16:22,260 --> 00:16:24,460
I'll reach out to a few
of Cara's friends,
371
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,600
spread the word.
372
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,176
We'll put something together in no time.
373
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,500
That'd be perfect.
374
00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:30,200
I'll text you the address and the time.
375
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,670
Actually, I think it's
best if it's just friends.
376
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:36,140
I understand.
377
00:16:36,210 --> 00:16:38,830
But I'll still text you the address
378
00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:40,440
just in case you change your mind.
379
00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:46,290
Hey.
380
00:16:46,350 --> 00:16:49,020
- Hey, back for the follow-up?
- Uh, yeah.
381
00:16:49,390 --> 00:16:54,400
I just had a couple more
questions and a confession.
382
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040
- A confession?
- Well, after we left,
383
00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:58,960
I couldn't stop thinking
about what you'd said
384
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:01,020
about not knowing your birth parents.
385
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440
What... what are you talking about?
386
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,450
Well, I gave the numbers
from your ID bracelet
387
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:06,480
to a friend of mine.
388
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,280
He's searching for the
Safe Haven location
389
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,500
- your parents left you at.
- What?
390
00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:12,150
You had no right to do that.
391
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,540
I know, I know, I'm sorry.
392
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,800
I told you I didn't want
anything to do with them.
393
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,116
Well, if that were true, then
why did you move to New York?
394
00:17:18,140 --> 00:17:21,020
- Excuse me?
- Well, I read all about you.
395
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:23,430
You're from Seattle.
You went to Stanford.
396
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:25,300
You could have done
your research anywhere,
397
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,280
yet you moved to the
city you were born in
398
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,860
because, on some level, you
were searching for them.
399
00:17:29,930 --> 00:17:33,000
A part of me came here
hoping to find them.
400
00:17:33,070 --> 00:17:36,920
But I never did, and I'm fine with that.
401
00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:39,180
Are you sure?
402
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:48,380
I was seven when my mom left home.
403
00:17:48,450 --> 00:17:52,620
And after college, I came
here searching for answers.
404
00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:54,860
It was scary.
405
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,060
What if she didn't want me?
406
00:17:57,130 --> 00:17:59,600
What if the answer was "go away"?
407
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,930
But I knew that if I didn't try,
408
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,700
I would always regret it.
409
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,140
Did you find her?
410
00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:08,020
Yeah.
411
00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:11,350
And I got the answers I was looking for.
412
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:15,360
They weren't perfect, and I'm
still figuring things out,
413
00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:18,860
but at least now, I have
someone to talk to.
414
00:18:23,380 --> 00:18:24,980
I know I'm overstepping
415
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:28,800
and my situation is
completely different.
416
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,680
All I'm asking is that
you think about it.
417
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:40,480
Thank you.
418
00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:46,860
- Hey, Nia.
- Hey.
419
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:48,060
Can I get you a drink?
420
00:18:48,130 --> 00:18:49,710
No, thanks, I'm just meeting Miles here,
421
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,980
and then we're off to catch a movie.
422
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:55,340
- Hey, Rakesh.
- Hey.
423
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:58,660
Yeah, he's not that
great with small talk.
424
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,140
Sorry, kind of in the zone right now.
425
00:19:01,220 --> 00:19:02,690
What are you working on?
426
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:04,210
I created an algorithm
427
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:05,920
to scan the identification numbers
428
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:09,250
given out at all the Safe
Haven sites in 1983.
429
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,380
He's looking into one of
Miles' Friend Suggestions.
430
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:16,720
Got you. So is that where he's at?
431
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,460
Yep, him and Cara are out in the field
432
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,590
while I do all the important work.
433
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:27,200
So what's the deal with Miles and Cara?
434
00:19:28,670 --> 00:19:30,430
They're just friends.
435
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:33,260
- Hey.
- Hey.
436
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:35,690
I wasn't sure if you were going to show.
437
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,530
- Huh?
- I texted you.
438
00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:39,160
- You didn't text me back.
- Oh, yeah.
439
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,800
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Cara and I were helping
440
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:41,860
our new Friend Suggestion.
441
00:19:41,910 --> 00:19:44,520
Oh, speaking of which, any progress?
442
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,640
Uh, my algorithm is working away
443
00:19:46,660 --> 00:19:48,280
on the Safe Haven sites as we speak.
444
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:50,860
- What about Pria?
- Nothing on Pria, man.
445
00:19:50,910 --> 00:19:52,370
Okay.
446
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,600
Oh, hey, Al, can I ask you for a favor?
447
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,260
- Always.
- Cara's birthday is
448
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,820
this Saturday, and I wanted to
throw her a surprise party.
449
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,750
- Can we do it here?
- Absolutely.
450
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:04,560
Great, all right, all set.
451
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,320
Uh, Miles?
452
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:10,180
You may want to cancel your plans.
453
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,560
Why?
454
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:13,860
I just found the Safe Haven location
455
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,420
Heidi's parents left her at.
456
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,340
It's your dad's church.
457
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:33,740
This is where my birth
parents dropped me off?
458
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,210
Yeah, our friend Rakesh was
able to match the numbers
459
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:40,440
on your Safe Haven ID
bracelet to this location.
460
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:45,310
Um, I... I appreciate all this.
461
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,800
I'm just not sure how
it'll change anything.
462
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:52,460
Well, Miles's father is
actually the reverend here.
463
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,420
- That's a crazy coincidence.
- Yeah.
464
00:20:56,490 --> 00:20:58,780
Um, look, anyways, I called ahead,
465
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:01,460
I told him your story, and
he wants to meet you.
466
00:21:01,540 --> 00:21:03,220
- Why?
- I think it's better
467
00:21:03,230 --> 00:21:05,400
- if he tells you.
- Miles.
468
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,140
Dr. James, I'm Reverend Arthur Finer.
469
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,460
- Heidi.
- Why don't we take a seat?
470
00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:11,980
Okay.
471
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
I'm sorry, it's not every day
472
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:24,880
that something like this happens.
473
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:30,600
I'm a little confused.
What exactly do you mean?
474
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,110
Well, I was here the night
475
00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:36,020
that your parents walked
through that door.
476
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,130
Now, I remember
477
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,720
because I'd only been with
the church a few weeks
478
00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:48,200
when they came in to speak with me.
479
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:52,480
They were teenagers, uh, kids, really.
480
00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:54,880
They loved each other, and they clearly
481
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:57,950
loved the little baby girl
that they were holding.
482
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:00,150
But, unfortunately,
483
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520
their families threatened
to disown them,
484
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,910
and without any support,
they didn't see how
485
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:08,890
they were going to be able
to raise you on their own
486
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,840
and give you everything that you needed.
487
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:14,840
I tried to counsel them
and find a solution,
488
00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:18,570
but, in the end, they believed
that the best thing for you,
489
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,440
the best way to give you the life
490
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:22,440
that they thought that you deserved,
491
00:22:22,510 --> 00:22:24,260
was to let you go.
492
00:22:27,140 --> 00:22:30,910
So they kissed you good-bye
493
00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:35,180
and asked me to take you
to a good foster home
494
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,400
where you would be safe.
495
00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:41,140
Um, do you remember their names?
496
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,560
I only remember your mother's
first name, Cynthia.
497
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,020
But your father came
back a few weeks later.
498
00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:49,700
I don't understand.
499
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,230
Well, he wanted to make sure
500
00:22:51,260 --> 00:22:52,640
that I'd made good on my promise.
501
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:55,240
I will never forget that or his name,
502
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:57,120
Michael Yang.
503
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,250
My last name is Yang.
504
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:07,840
I work at IdentitySeal.
I can run his name.
505
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:09,820
Maybe we can find an address.
506
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,930
Look, I know it's scary.
507
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:17,840
But you've come this far.
508
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,820
Hey, are you sure it's
okay for me to be here?
509
00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:32,880
Oh, we seem to have a pretty
loose visitor policy.
510
00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:38,610
Hey, are you okay?
511
00:23:38,620 --> 00:23:40,260
Yeah, it's just...
512
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,500
I mean, when we first started
with the God Account,
513
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,820
everything seemed so random,
514
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,100
but then Uncle Terrence
and Aaron Booker,
515
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,520
Charles Cole, and now Heidi
at Harlem Episcopal.
516
00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:54,610
Hm, it does seem like the God Account
517
00:23:54,620 --> 00:23:56,730
- knows everything about you.
- And not just me.
518
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:58,800
I mean, my family, my dad's church,
519
00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:01,120
it's all connected. I need to know
520
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,770
who's behind this and
why they're doing it.
521
00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:04,500
Guys, here we go.
522
00:24:04,540 --> 00:24:07,600
Uh, I got a match for a Michael Yang,
523
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:09,780
lives in Brooklyn.
524
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:13,560
We did it. We found
Heidi's birth father.
525
00:24:13,580 --> 00:24:14,850
I... I got to call her.
526
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:18,900
Oh, no, it's Pria.
527
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,460
She's running my decryption program.
528
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,400
She's going to try and
hack into the God Account.
529
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,980
757 Park Avenue.
530
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000
We need to go now.
531
00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:34,640
Okay, you guys deal with Pria.
532
00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:35,780
I got to be there for Heidi.
533
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,580
Hi.
534
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:50,520
- Nice place.
- Can I help you?
535
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,720
Uh, we just stopped by to
say hi to a friend of ours,
536
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:54,920
Pria Amar.
537
00:24:54,980 --> 00:24:56,840
Ms. Amar isn't expecting any friends.
538
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,860
Everyone likes surprises, right?
539
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,760
- He doesn't like surprises.
- No.
540
00:25:01,780 --> 00:25:03,960
Okay, well, why don't
you just call Ms. Amar
541
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:05,300
and tell her that Miles Finer
542
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,520
and Rakesh Singh are in the lobby?
543
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,840
I have two gentleman in the
lobby claiming that the...
544
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,050
Yes. Very good, ma'am.
545
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,820
- 57th floor.
- Thank you.
546
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,420
Oh, what unit?
547
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,100
Ms. Amar's unit comprises
the entire floor.
548
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,870
Thank you.
549
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,750
This place is insane.
550
00:25:50,380 --> 00:25:53,280
Dude, what is going on right now?
551
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:57,100
I never did care for heights,
but you can't beat the view.
552
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:59,810
Okay, let's try this again. Who are you?
553
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,580
Everything I've told you is true.
554
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,980
I just haven't told you all of it.
555
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:05,030
Yeah, no kidding.
556
00:26:05,540 --> 00:26:09,380
Your decryption program had
a few bugs, so I fixed it.
557
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,190
Are you saying you got
through the firewall?
558
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Yes, but, unfortunately,
it was a dead end.
559
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,440
Okay, don't take this the wrong way,
560
00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:20,320
but you are not the most
trustworthy of hackers so...
561
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:21,660
See for yourself.
562
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:26,570
So why do this alone?
563
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:27,900
Because we're looking for Henry
564
00:26:27,930 --> 00:26:29,460
for entirely different reasons.
565
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,370
I couldn't risk you getting in my way.
566
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,660
She's telling the truth.
567
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,650
Falken's not using a localized ISP.
568
00:26:34,670 --> 00:26:36,240
He's running the account remotely.
569
00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:38,140
- Meaning?
- Meaning he could be
570
00:26:38,210 --> 00:26:40,420
anywhere in the world.
571
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:44,680
Okay, looks like he's using
a server farm in Palo Alto
572
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:46,040
to be his main relay.
573
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,140
Wait.
574
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:51,640
These servers are inside
Singular Dynamics.
575
00:26:51,660 --> 00:26:53,030
That's Simon Hayes's company.
576
00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:55,880
I saw that Everett Award
you won at Columbia.
577
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:57,730
All three of your names were on it.
578
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,220
- You were all friends?
- More than that.
579
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,440
The three of us were going to
change the world together.
580
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,860
What happened?
581
00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:09,460
Henry and Simon created an algorithm
582
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,460
that was the foundation for modern AI.
583
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,710
The applications were limitless.
584
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:17,220
Henry wasn't interested in
monetizing it, and Simon was,
585
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,520
and Simon always got what he wanted.
586
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:21,680
Simon betrayed him.
587
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:23,210
Not just Simon.
588
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,890
I thought the three of us could
build a company together.
589
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,360
I was wrong.
590
00:27:30,430 --> 00:27:32,280
That's when Henry disappeared?
591
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:34,140
Yes.
592
00:27:34,830 --> 00:27:37,660
Simon went on to become
a tech billionaire,
593
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:39,600
me right along with him.
594
00:27:39,910 --> 00:27:43,480
So why would Falken run the God Account
595
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:45,070
through Simon's servers?
596
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Because it's Henry's
way of making a point.
597
00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:53,740
He doesn't want to be
found, and he never will.
598
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,320
- You ready?
- Not really.
599
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,650
Hey.
600
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:06,760
Your birth father came back to
the church to check on you.
601
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:08,500
He loved you.
602
00:28:10,570 --> 00:28:13,090
You might not get all the answers
603
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:15,740
that you're looking
for, but it's a start.
604
00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:30,060
Can I help you?
605
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,120
Uh, yeah, we're looking
for Michael Yang.
606
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:35,860
Oh, I just moved in
here a few weeks ago.
607
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,420
- I didn't know them.
- Them?
608
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:40,700
Michael and his wife, Cynthia.
609
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:42,830
They're still together?
610
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
I'm sorry to be the
one to tell you this.
611
00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:51,980
The Yangs died two months
ago in an accident.
612
00:28:53,950 --> 00:28:55,910
Thank you.
613
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,800
Heidi, Heidi, hold on. I am so sorry.
614
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:00,180
It doesn't matter.
615
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:02,120
I never had a connection to them,
616
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,100
and now I never will.
617
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440
_
618
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,920
- You wrote this last night?
- Yeah.
619
00:29:28,940 --> 00:29:31,290
Why, does it read like that?
620
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:33,180
No, it's, uh...
621
00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:34,800
it's really great.
622
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,030
Yeah, well, it's the least I could do
623
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,900
after pushing Heidi to find her parents.
624
00:29:42,350 --> 00:29:45,490
Hopefully, some people will read it
625
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:46,900
and find her GoFundMe page,
626
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,520
which is all she really
wanted in the first place.
627
00:29:52,260 --> 00:29:54,300
She knows her parents loved her now,
628
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,830
that they didn't want to give her up.
629
00:29:56,900 --> 00:29:59,840
When she's ready, she'll remember that.
630
00:30:07,210 --> 00:30:10,950
- Hey, uh, we need to talk.
- Yeah, we do.
631
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,350
Let's start with how did you
632
00:30:12,380 --> 00:30:14,600
just let yourself into my apartment?
633
00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:17,560
You gave me a key, remember?
634
00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:19,060
Yeah, I also remember taking it back
635
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,090
after you and Jaya used my place
636
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,860
to hook up after your first date.
637
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,860
That was such a great evening.
638
00:30:24,930 --> 00:30:26,910
I made another copy. Consider it perks
639
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,030
of being your personal
God Account hacker.
640
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:30,650
Anyway, last night,
641
00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:32,360
I was digging into Singular Dynamics,
642
00:30:32,380 --> 00:30:34,200
and I started thinking,
643
00:30:34,270 --> 00:30:37,010
what if Simon Hayes is
behind the God Account?
644
00:30:38,710 --> 00:30:41,000
I don't know, you heard what Pria said.
645
00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:43,140
Okay, he doesn't sound
like the helping type.
646
00:30:43,210 --> 00:30:45,140
Yeah, but they designed
the code together, man.
647
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,450
Look, I'm not suggesting we
take Falken off the board.
648
00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:52,390
I'm just saying maybe we should
consider adding another option.
649
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,520
Okay, well, how do you expect us
650
00:30:54,540 --> 00:30:55,720
to look into one of the most powerful
651
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:57,150
tech billionaires in the world?
652
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,720
I don't know, um...
653
00:30:58,730 --> 00:30:59,960
Well, maybe he'd like to be
654
00:30:59,980 --> 00:31:01,400
profiled by "Catapult," you know?
655
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:02,920
It worked wonders for Heidi.
656
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,100
No, seriously, guys. I
checked her GoFundMe Page
657
00:31:06,170 --> 00:31:08,440
on the way here, and it is blowing up.
658
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:12,920
Look, Rakesh is right.
659
00:31:12,980 --> 00:31:15,610
She's raised over 200 grand
in the last few hours.
660
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,420
"Saw the article, wanted to donate."
661
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,210
"Have a friend with the condition."
662
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,150
"So glad people are finally
knowing about this."
663
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,300
Whoa, check this out.
664
00:31:28,340 --> 00:31:30,220
"Gene runs in my family.
665
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:32,460
Thank you so much. This gives me hope."
666
00:31:35,530 --> 00:31:37,800
Look at the name.
667
00:31:37,870 --> 00:31:40,040
Mary Yang.
668
00:31:42,970 --> 00:31:44,280
Hey, Heidi.
669
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:47,040
What are you two doing here?
670
00:31:47,110 --> 00:31:50,240
Uh, I wanted to apologize
about what happened.
671
00:31:51,150 --> 00:31:53,260
I know the article
doesn't make up for it,
672
00:31:53,290 --> 00:31:54,580
but I'm hoping it'll at least reach
673
00:31:54,590 --> 00:31:56,080
enough people to make a difference.
674
00:31:57,290 --> 00:32:00,180
It was great. Thank you.
675
00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:02,410
We checked out the
GoFundMe page earlier.
676
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,100
It seems like people
are really responding.
677
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,660
I haven't had time to
log in in a few hours,
678
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,360
but reading some of the
comments this morning,
679
00:32:09,430 --> 00:32:12,340
it's been amazing to hear
from so many people.
680
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,460
Yeah, that's actually why we're here.
681
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,740
We tracked down one of your new donors,
682
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,340
thought you might want to meet them.
683
00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:20,830
Of course, I'd love to.
684
00:32:26,450 --> 00:32:30,680
Hi, um, I'm Heidi James.
685
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:33,190
I'm Mary,
686
00:32:33,260 --> 00:32:34,720
Mary Yang.
687
00:32:37,090 --> 00:32:40,690
My parents were Cynthia
and Michael Yang.
688
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,180
Yeah, I believe we're sisters.
689
00:32:57,610 --> 00:33:00,510
I'm sorry. I never knew about you,
690
00:33:00,580 --> 00:33:02,320
and I never would have if your friends
691
00:33:02,350 --> 00:33:03,640
hadn't knocked on my door.
692
00:33:05,890 --> 00:33:08,460
I'm glad they did.
693
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,430
I guess we have a lot to catch up on.
694
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,300
I know this is going to sound terrible,
695
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,610
but I'm so glad you carry the gene,
696
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:26,140
otherwise, we never would
have found each other.
697
00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:31,720
Actually, I don't.
698
00:33:42,290 --> 00:33:43,960
Molly.
699
00:33:48,130 --> 00:33:50,680
I'd like you to meet someone.
700
00:33:53,220 --> 00:33:56,670
This is your Aunt Heidi.
701
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,100
Hi.
702
00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:04,680
Hi, Molly. I'm so happy to meet you.
703
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:07,920
We're going to be great friends.
704
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:17,700
Sometimes, life takes us on
a journey to find an answer
705
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:19,520
we didn't even know we were looking for.
706
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:24,980
When it comes to me, I have no idea
707
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:27,290
if it's Henry Chase or Simon Hayes
708
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:28,700
who's behind the God Account
709
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:32,260
or why I was chosen for all of this.
710
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,110
But that's part of life too.
711
00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:36,270
Sometimes, we just have to accept
712
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,290
that the answers we think we need,
713
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:40,060
we may never find.
714
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,660
- Pria!
- Miles.
715
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:44,570
Thank you for meeting me.
716
00:34:44,580 --> 00:34:46,430
Going somewhere?
717
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,390
Yes.
718
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,400
You found him, didn't you?
719
00:34:51,790 --> 00:34:53,590
After you left yesterday,
720
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,260
I started to think about everything.
721
00:34:55,330 --> 00:34:59,740
I always assumed Henry
didn't want me to find him.
722
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,820
But then I took another
look, and I saw it.
723
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,230
What?
724
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,400
Something I should have seen right away.
725
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,680
Where is he?
726
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,520
I owe you and your friends a debt.
727
00:35:12,620 --> 00:35:14,820
I never thought I would find Henry
728
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,000
to look into his eyes and say sorry.
729
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,700
When I find him, I'll let you know.
730
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,080
And until then?
731
00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:26,160
Keep doing what you're doing.
732
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,540
You and your friends are
making a difference.
733
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:32,340
Simon, Henry, and I, we
wanted to change the world,
734
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:35,000
but we never got the chance.
735
00:35:35,060 --> 00:35:37,400
Don't let anything get in your way.
736
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,040
All I know is, I'm willing
to keep following this path
737
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:52,160
because I'm on it with some
pretty amazing people.
738
00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:54,890
And, together, I think we can
739
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:57,520
really make a difference in this world.
740
00:36:02,540 --> 00:36:04,250
Hey, got your text.
741
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:06,440
You know they serve the
drinks inside, right?
742
00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:09,000
- Oh, yeah.
- What's going on?
743
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:11,880
Happy birthday.
744
00:36:13,310 --> 00:36:15,120
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
745
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,840
- How'd you find out?
- Your mom.
746
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:21,120
She thought you should
do something special.
747
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,650
I agree.
748
00:36:22,660 --> 00:36:24,170
What did you do?
749
00:36:24,180 --> 00:36:25,290
Nothing.
750
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:28,130
I mean, hypothetically, if
a bunch of your friends
751
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,480
were inside and wanted to give you gifts
752
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:33,360
and eat cake and yell "surprise,"
753
00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:35,300
you would be cool with that, right?
754
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:37,260
Hypothetically.
755
00:36:38,820 --> 00:36:41,270
I get why you don't like your birthday,
756
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:43,480
what it reminds you of.
757
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,890
But that's not you anymore.
758
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:48,720
I know.
759
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,720
I guess it's just...
760
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,800
there are still things
that are going to come up
761
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:55,810
between my mom and me,
762
00:36:55,820 --> 00:36:59,620
and I'm not sure how to handle them.
763
00:37:00,420 --> 00:37:02,980
Kind of need to get better at that.
764
00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:06,720
Here's a perfect opportunity.
765
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,160
What do you say?
766
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,840
- I'll act surprised.
- Okay.
767
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,310
Surprise!
768
00:37:18,340 --> 00:37:20,340
What! This is crazy!
769
00:37:20,410 --> 00:37:22,100
Don't over-sell it.
770
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:23,540
Oh.
771
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,220
- Hey.
- Hey.
772
00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:34,540
I want you to be with your friends.
773
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,120
I just dropped by to give you something.
774
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,060
What are all these?
775
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:51,210
I wrote you a card every year,
776
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:52,960
and I saved them.
777
00:37:56,060 --> 00:37:58,800
I was always thinking about you, Cara,
778
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,170
missing you,
779
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:02,520
even though I felt like
I couldn't reach out.
780
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Thank you.
781
00:38:05,580 --> 00:38:07,620
Happy birthday.
782
00:38:12,110 --> 00:38:14,970
Well, it doesn't hold a
candle to your party,
783
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:17,200
but that's mostly because
you were here for that one.
784
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,310
Sounds like you miss me.
785
00:38:20,490 --> 00:38:22,160
Maybe a little.
786
00:38:22,220 --> 00:38:24,040
And by "little," I mean a lot.
787
00:38:25,930 --> 00:38:28,930
Well, I hope you still feel the same way
788
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:30,530
in a few weeks when I come to visit.
789
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,600
Wait, Jaya, don't toy with my emotions.
790
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:37,940
I'm serious. I miss you.
791
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,510
Well, that's the best piece
of news I've heard all day,
792
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:43,820
and I reunited long-lost sisters so...
793
00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:48,820
Miles threw all this together fast.
794
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200
He get a lot of help.
I do run this place.
795
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,760
I know. I just mean...
796
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:05,910
I'm so glad you could come.
797
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Uh, can we talk?
798
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:10,540
I'll give you two a minute.
799
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,740
What's up?
800
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:20,800
You're a good guy, Miles.
801
00:39:20,860 --> 00:39:24,880
Ooh, this does not sound
like a good guy talk.
802
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,940
But you have a lot going
on, which is great,
803
00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:29,420
but not if you don't want
to share it with me.
804
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,750
No, no, no, no, no, no.
805
00:39:30,780 --> 00:39:32,350
It is not that, okay? It's just...
806
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:35,200
Separation of church and state.
807
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,900
Yeah.
808
00:39:44,510 --> 00:39:47,640
I can't help but think
that there's more to that.
809
00:39:52,410 --> 00:39:55,180
Cara and I are just friends.
810
00:39:55,250 --> 00:39:57,450
I know, this isn't about jealousy.
811
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:58,880
Okay, then what is it about?
812
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,590
I know who I am and I know what I want
813
00:40:04,660 --> 00:40:07,640
and I want to share all of it with you.
814
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:12,530
If you're ever ready to do
the same, give me a call.
815
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:29,480
Everything okay?
816
00:40:31,820 --> 00:40:34,200
Nia just ended things,
817
00:40:35,260 --> 00:40:37,120
said that I couldn't separate
818
00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:39,900
the God Account and my personal life.
819
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:42,160
Can you?
820
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:51,260
I don't know.
821
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,780
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
822
00:40:57,850 --> 00:40:59,760
- You good?
- Yeah, yeah.
823
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,600
Whoo! To Cara.
824
00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:05,590
Happy birthday.
825
00:41:05,650 --> 00:41:07,150
We would have all gotten you gifts,
826
00:41:07,180 --> 00:41:08,760
but since we didn't know
it's your birthday,
827
00:41:08,780 --> 00:41:10,020
drinks will have to do.
828
00:41:12,190 --> 00:41:14,330
Cheers!
829
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,750
Hey, what are you doing?
830
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,440
I am hunting around inside
831
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:27,460
the Singular Dynamics server farm.
832
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,190
You think you can find
what Pria discovered?
833
00:41:29,210 --> 00:41:31,460
Honestly, no idea.
834
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,600
But it's good to start, you know,
835
00:41:33,620 --> 00:41:36,120
secretly investigating into Simon Hayes.
836
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:37,480
Should get to know him,
837
00:41:37,550 --> 00:41:39,080
see if there are any connections or...
838
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:41,160
Trust me, there is no connection
839
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:44,220
between me and a billionaire
who lives 3,000 miles away.
840
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,390
Exactly.
841
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:48,400
Well, the one advantage that we do have
842
00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:50,560
is that he doesn't know we're onto him.
843
00:41:50,580 --> 00:41:52,860
Could I have everybody's attention?
844
00:41:52,940 --> 00:41:55,080
It was just relayed to management
845
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:57,700
that IdentitySeal has been sold.
846
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,420
To who?
847
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:02,870
Simon Hayes.
848
00:42:07,570 --> 00:42:11,620
