God Friended Me (2018): Season 2, Episode 10 - High Anxiety - full transcript

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

Can you promise me

that I won't always take a
backseat to the church?

I love you, but we can't be together.

Gideon Moore. He was the first person

to get Friended by the God Account.

The God Account sent me a message.

That I would have to give up love.

Cara's stepdad. He's
in financial trouble.

It is definitely insider trading.

We can't let the God
Account come between us.



Miles, you did.

You chose the God Account over me,

and that's the choice we're
both gonna have to live with.

Look, I know it's early,
but you're gonna thank me.

These are supposed to be

the best breakfast burritos in the city.

Yeah, there is no breakfast burrito

worth waking up at 7:00 a.m. for.

Hmm, we shall see.

Plus, I was thinking I'd
take some back for my team.

You know, keep morale up
as they start coding my...

Soulmate app.

Hey, the president of
IdentitySeal liked your idea.

Yeah, loved it. I mean,



I got to come through obviously,

but I think my quest is driven
by the most noble of purposes.

Do you really think an app is
gonna help you win Jaya back?

I'm betting my entire
career on it, so yeah.

Yeah.

How about you? Have you and Cara talked

ever since the whole
thing with her stepdad?

No, she made it very
clear that she blames me

for choosing the God Account over her.

I was hoping she just needed space,

but honestly, I don't
know where we stand,

and I don't know how to fix it.

There's always a way, Miles.

But you can't fix it
until you talk to her.

Man, we got a new Friend Suggestion.

Miguel Solano.

Okay... okay, perfect.
Now you have an icebreaker.

You can go to Cara,

the two of you are gonna
help Miguel Solano.

And before you know it,
everything's back to normal.

- Hi.
- Hey.

How'd you get your old office back?

What happened to Adam?

After the article went viral,
he took a job offer at VICE.

They promoted me to head of features.

Head of features. That's great.

Yeah.

And all I had to do was
expose some insider trading

and destroy my family. Lucky me.

Right.

I'm sorry, it's just hard to
see the upside in any of this

considering everything that's happened.

So what are you doing here?

I got a new Friend Suggestion

and I was hoping you could
help me check him out.

Okay.

I thought it would be a good
excuse for me to come down here

to see you. To talk to you.

I'm listening.

Look, I can't change
what happened, okay?

Or the decisions I made.

And even if I could,
I don't think I would.

Look, I was just trying to
help your family, Cara.

You have to see that.

I do.

Okay, then there must be way
for us to work through this.

The thing is, this isn't
just about us, Miles.

The God Account used me,
and not just me, but my family.

And for what?

To put you through some kind of test?

I know you're upset,

but the God Account was
still just trying to help Paul.

No, it wasn't.

If that were true,

then it would have sent us
his name six months ago,

before he even got involved
with Jonathan Carter.

But it didn't because this was
never about helping my family.

Whoever's behind this didn't
care what happened to them.

Miles, after everything that
I have done, it didn't care.

So what are you trying to say?

I need to step away
from the God Account.

Okay.

And what about us?

I don't know.

- Lester, good to see you.
- You too, Arthur.

Well, Trish gave me that
as an office warming gift.

It's her way of providing guidance

even when she's not here.

So, what brings you by?

The diocese has been very pleased
with the transition, Arthur.

Oh, that's nice to hear.

I've even heard from a few bishops

inside the general convention
that they've liked

some of the proposals
you've sent for review.

Well, I have a long way to go,

but I'm excited for the journey.

That's actually why I stopped by.

Bishop Walden and two members
of the executive council

will be in town from
Washington tomorrow night.

They wanna meet with you
about your proposals.

- Well, that's incredible.
- Needless to say,

if they like what they hear,

it could go a long way to
getting your agenda passed.

Well, tell Bishop Walden

I look forward to meeting
them here tomorrow night.

Excellent. I'll let them know.

So Cara's stepping away
from the God Account?

- Mm-hmm.
- For how long?

No idea. And I don't blame her.

I mean, after what happened.
She finally found the family

she's always wanted,
and then it gets destroyed?

Yeah.

Wait, so where does that leave you guys?

I don't know.

But I know I can't lose her.

Miles, you're not gonna lose Cara.

Like, she's pissed at the God Account,

but she'll come around.

Yeah, but what if she doesn't?

Look, how about we concentrate

on helping our Friend Suggestion?

At least that's something
that's totally in our control.

Right? Okay, so let's see here.

Looks like it's mostly just
pictures of his wife, Isabel,

and daughter, Ava.

Guys, guys, we have an
emergency situation.

Tom. Tom, what's going on?

Some window washer up on the 40th floor.

His platform snapped.
He's hanging on for his life.

Dan, did someone call 911?

I just did. FDNY's on their way.

- What happened?
- No idea.

I mean, I just hope he can
hold on until they get here.

Do you know the guy's name?

Sure, he's worked here for
years. It's Miguel Solano.

Okay, everyone listen up.

FDNY is gonna be here
in under 10 minutes,

and they want us to clear the floors.

So I need everyone to make
their way downstairs.

We have to stay and help Miguel.

- Yeah, but how?
- I don't know.

Maybe I'm supposed to talk to him.

Guys, I need you to clear the floor.

Wait, don't you think someone
should stay and talk to Miguel?

Let him know that help is on his way?

I tried. His cell goes
straight to voicemail

and he can't hear us through the glass.

Well, there must be some kind
of way to communicate with him.

There's a two-way radio on
the rig, but the company says

it's useless since the
whole thing is offline.

Wait, what do you mean offline?

Rig is state of the art. Everything
controlled by a computer.

I called the company

right after I got off the
phone with the FDNY.

They're sending someone over
to try and reboot the system.

- Rakesh, what are you doing?
- The system on the rig

must have Wi-Fi, which means
there's a way to reboot it

- without being on the rig.
- Do you think you can access

- the system?
- I think we should wait

for the FDNY or someone
from the company.

Miguel might not have that long.

If you can reboot the system,

then maybe we can raise him to safety.

Only one way to find out.

Miles told me what happened.

How's your family holding up?

Not great.

My stepfather cut a deal with the FBI,

but he's still looking
at a year behind bars.

I'm sorry.

You know, when I found
out that the God Account

was the reason that I ended up
in New York five years ago,

it made me feel like

I was just as much a
part of this as Miles.

You are. And Miles knows that.

He loves you, Cara.

Yeah, and I love him.

But that's the problem.

What are you talking about?

Gideon told us that whoever's
behind the God Account

wants Miles to become its prophet.

To do that, Gideon said that
he would need to give up love.

Now if that's true, then it
sent him my stepfather's name

to drive a wedge between us.

Then don't let it.

You figure out a way to fight back.

Against the God Account?

Ali, it's never wrong.

And it's never gonna let
us just be together.

Hey, that was fast.

Well, I got your text. It seemed urgent.

And what are we doing
at the Blue Danube?

They had a vocalist cancel
at the last minute,

and I've known the owner for years.

So he called to see if I could sing.

Oh, that's incredible.

I know.

I mean, you know I have been wanting

to get back into performing,
and I just... I feel like this is

the universe's way of steering
me in that direction.

And I think you're right.

And you. You are going to be
sitting in this front row clapping,

regardless of how
misguided the universe is.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Now what time should I be here tonight?

No, tomorrow night. So
I have time to rehearse.

What? What's wrong?

Three members of the executive council

are coming in tomorrow night.

I'm supposed to meet them
to discuss my agenda.

Well, can they reschedule it?

They're only here for one night.

Having their support could be critical

to pushing my agenda forward.

I understand.

Well, I'm gonna start putting
my set list together.

You know what?

You are going to be great.

And I promise that next time,
I will be sitting right there

in that front row.

Okay.

Okay, I'm in.

The system reboot seems
pretty straightforward.

I should be able to raise
him up to the roof.

Here we go.

- Rakesh, you did it.
- Unbelievable.

- Wait, what happened?
- It doesn't matter.

He's out of danger 'cause of you.

I'm gonna head downstairs
to liaise with the FDNY.

They're gonna be here any second.

Hey, what's wrong?

Dude, it doesn't make sense.
It shouldn't have stopped.

Well, maybe something is
off with the computer.

No, the system checks out.

Like the only way to
stop it would be to...

Manually hit the button on the rig.

Wait, you think Miguel stopped the rig?

That doesn't make any sense.

- Why would he do that?
- I have no idea.

Look, the system's online,

which means the two-way
radio's probably active.

So let's ask him.

Hey. Hey, Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel. Miguel, can you hear me?

Who are you?

Hi. Hi, my name is Miles Finer.

Look, Miguel, we were able
to reboot the system.

We just need you to stay calm.

The FDNY will be able to
rescue you in no time.

I have no intention of being rescued.

You understand me?

You stopped the rig.

Yes.

And you need to tell
the FDNY to back off.

I don't want to talk to
them. You hear me?

Miguel. Miguel, listen to me.

Whatever you are thinking
about doing, please don't.

I don't have a choice.

This is my only option.

No other way.

What do you mean it's your only option?

Wait, Miguel. Miguel.

Miguel.

Miles, you realize what
he's planning on doing.

Yeah, yeah. And I'm
pretty sure that's why

the God Account sent us his name.

Miguel's gonna jump.

And we need to stop him.

I don't know, Miles.

This seems like a little
out of our league here.

Like this is not good.

Like, like life or
death not good, Miles.

Yes, I get that, Rakesh.

Okay, well the FDNY is literally
on their way up here.

- Like, what are we gonna tell them?
- I don't know,

but we can't tell them the truth.

You heard what Miguel said.

He doesn't want to talk to them.

And we can't risk what he
might do if we tell them.

Look, I know how it sounds,
but he hasn't jumped yet.

Which means he's having second thoughts.

Maybe we can still reach
him and talk him down.

- How?
- We have to figure out

why he's doing this and
help him through it.

Okay, okay. Where do we start?

His family. He has a wife.

Maybe she'll know something.
At the very least,

maybe she can help us
break through to him.

Okay, I don't wanna lose communication,

so I'm gonna use this
computer to get her info.

Okay. We can't leave,

so we're gonna need some help.

Hey.

Hey, um, look.

I... I know that you are
upset with the God Account

right now, and me. And I get that, but

I really need your help.

Look, Miles,

I told you I can't be involved
with the God Account.

My Friend Suggestion is stuck
on a window washing rig

40 stories high

outside IdentitySeal right now

and he's planning on jumping.

Are you serious?

Yes, hey. His name is Miguel Solano.

His wife's name is Isabel.

Now Rakesh is going to
text you her information.

I need you to talk to her,

and see if she knows what's going on.

And get her down here
as fast as you can.

Yeah, okay. I'm on it.

Thank you.

I'm Captain Murphy.

You two are the ones
that leveled the rig?

Yeah, my name is Miles.
And this is Rakesh.

He was able to reboot the system.

Nice job. If you hadn't leveled it,

- we may have been too late.
- So what's the plan?

I got a team headed to the roof now.

Provided the rig's stable,

we can manually raise it to
safety in about 30 minutes.

FDNY wants to clear the floor.
You guys should head out.

Wait, do you think we can stay with him?

Rakesh turned on the
two-way radio on the rig.

I spoke to Miguel, told him
that help was on the way.

I thought that maybe I
can keep talking to him,

keep him calm until you
can get him to safety.

Hey, Captain. I don't see
any damage on the rig.

We're gonna head up to the roof.

Okay.

In these types of situations,

hearing a friendly voice

can be calming. Keep him talking,

and we'll let you know when
we're ready to raise him up.

- You got it.
- Okay.

Miles, you should have told

that Miguel was planning on jumping.

Miguel is weighing all of
his options right now.

The last thing he needs is to feel like

he doesn't have a choice. You heard him.

He doesn't want the FDNY involved.

Newsflash, Miles. They are involved.

I promise if I can't talk him down

by the time they're
ready to raise the rig,

I'll tell them.

In the meantime,

keep looking into Miguel
and see what you can find.

Hey. Hey,

Miguel, can you hear me?
Miguel, can you hear me?

I didn't tell

the FDNY why you're really up there.

But in less than 30 minutes,

they're going to raise that rig.

I can't stop it, so I need
you to talk to me, please.

What's your name again?

Miles Finer.

Let me ask you something, Miles.

Why do you care what happens to me?

You don't even know me.

No, I don't.

But the thing is helping people
is kind of my specialty.

- You sound like a priest.
- Trust me, I'm far from it.

Though my father is the
bishop of New York,

so maybe a little bit rubbed off on me.

Your father is Bishop Finer?

Yeah, do you know him?

Not personally. I'm Catholic.

But I live in East Harlem.

When he was reverend
at Harlem Episcopal,

he did a lot for the community.
Heard his name plenty.

East Harlem, huh?

Have you been down to Elma's

on 116th Street?

Twice a week.

That lasagna with the garlic knots.

That's my daughter's favorite.

Miles.

One sec, Miguel.

So from what I can tell,

it looks like his daughter's been sick.

She's been in and out of the hospital

for the last couple of years.

Hey, Miguel.

I am going to let you
in on a little secret.

Something I think you might want

to share with your daughter.

What's that?

When you order the lasagna,

ask for the three cheese.

It's off the menu, but I'm telling you

it's the only way to have it.

She'd like that.

What's her name?

Ava.

Oh, that's beautiful.

What's she like?

She's the kindest person I've ever met.

Has a smile that makes you smile.

She's sick.

It's her kidneys.

I'm sorry.

Is there anything that could be done?

Yeah, she needs a transplant.

I'd give her one of
mine in a... in a second,

but apparently I got a rare blood type.

And I'm not a match.
No one in my family is.

Well, what about a donor?

She's on the list.

But the doctors say it
could be a year or two

before she reaches the top.

In the meantime, she's on
dialysis three times a week.

Upside is

it keeps her stable.

Downside is

it's expensive.

Past year, bills have piled up.

We can't afford it
anymore, and without it...

Wait, that's why you're doing this?

If you make this look like an accident,

your family can collect the insurance.

I got no other choice.

If I had, I would take it.

The money will keep
my daughter alive until

she can find a donor.

Any father would make that trade.

Miguel, does she know what you're doing?

No, no.

Neither does my wife.

I couldn't put that on them.

Miguel, this is no longer
gonna look like an accident.

Sure, it will.

They'll think the harness
broke when I fall.

No one will question a thing if I slip.

Unless you tell them.

No. I won't.

Because actually,
I have a better solution.

One where your daughter lives,

and you're there to
live that life with her.

How?

We raise the money.

Once people hear about Ava's
story, they'll wanna help.

And I can make sure they hear it.

What if you can't?

No, I can.

I have a podcast on FreeVerse,
my girlfriend is a journalist.

I promise I won't fail.

But I need you to hold on.

I need you to allow
yourself to be rescued.

Miles, we're ready to go.

- Tell Miguel to hold on tight.
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

You can't raise the rig just yet.

- Why not?
- Because if you do,

Miguel might jump.

- He told you this?
- Yes.

Damn it. You should have told me
the moment he said something.

No, I can talk to him,
convince him not to do it.

- I just need more time.
- No, we don't have it.

The cables were damaged
when the rig first collapsed.

And the winds are picking up. If
we don't raise Miguel right away,

that rig could snap and fall.

Miles.

This is Miguel's wife, Isabel.
I told her what's going on.

Miguel?

Miguel.

Look, deep down, Miguel
doesn't want to do this.

Give his wife a chance
to remind him of that.

Miguel.

- Please.
- Okay.

Hi, my name is Miles. He can't
hear you through that window,

but you need to talk to Miguel.

He thinks this is the only
way to save your daughter.

Miguel?

Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel, are you all right?
Can you hear me?

Yes.

You need to listen to me.

This isn't the way to save Ava.

I love her so much.

I just want to protect her.

I love her too.

But you can't do this to her.

To me.

God will find another way
to save our daughter.

Miguel, you can't do this.

Miguel, they need to raise the rig

immediately, or it might fall.

Can I tell them you're gonna hold on?

Yes.

We're a-go, raise it. Raise it now.

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on.

Miguel?

Keep your promise, Miles.

My daughter's life depends on it.

I can't believe we saved Miguel's life.

Yeah, thanks for getting
Isabel down there in time.

Yeah, of course.

So any word on Miguel?

Yeah. I spoke to the fire captain.

He said that Miguel was 5150'd.

He's being held overnight at
Bellevue for observation.

But considering his circumstances
with his daughter,

and the fact that he was
never really suicidal,

he should be released in the morning.

Okay. On the house for the heroes.

Hey, thanks, Ali.

We are basically the Justice League.

Hey, no, no. Can't celebrate just yet.

I still have to follow through
on my promise I made to Miguel.

- What promise?
- Well, Miles said

he'd raise money for
Ava's dialysis treatment.

And that's like, at least 100 grand.

Wow. How are you gonna do that?

Well, my podcast has picked up
a lot of listeners this year,

and I'm hoping that when they hear

Miguel's story, they'll wanna donate.

Mm-hmm. And once they do,

that money needs somewhere
to go, so I'm gonna set up

a GoFundMe page for Miguel's family.

Yeah, I'll write an article.

Get it out tonight.

I should take off.

Yeah, I'll walk you out?

Hey. Thanks again.

I couldn't have done this without you.

- Miles...
- You said that you don't think

you could be a part of this anymore.

But if you hadn't have
come down here today,

if you hadn't have brought Isabel down,

Miguel wouldn't have
gotten off that rig.

I can't do this without you.

And more importantly,

I don't want to do this without you.

I know.

But when it comes to the God Account,

I don't think what we
want really matters.

For the past year,

I have been telling you about
my Friend Suggestions.

Usually, it's after we've helped them.

But this time, it's different.

This time, I need your help.

My friends and I have
set up a GoFundMe page.

All of the money donated

is going to my new Friend
Suggestion, Miguel Solano,

to help save his 10-year-old daughter

- who needs a kidney transplant.
- _

Now, some of you have already
read his story on "Catapult"

and started donating.

And for those of you who haven't,

I made a promise, and I
need your help to keep it,

to make sure that this
story has a happy ending.

Hey, Miguel. It's good to see you.

You too. It's good to be
standing on solid ground.

Come on in.

I got your message.

What did you want to talk to me about?

It's barely been a day,

and you've already raised
thousands of dollars.

At this rate, Ava can stay on dialysis

until we find a kidney donor.

And I am just glad I could help.

You did more than that.

There's something I
have to ask you, Miles.

I had my wife, Isabel, look you up.

Told me about your podcast,

about this God Account.

Ah, and you want to know

if you were one of my
Friend Suggestions.

You were.

But I would have helped you either way.

When I was out on that platform,

I thought the world had
turned its back on me.

On my family. And so,

I prayed for God to send me a miracle.

And then,

I heard your voice.

If that's not the power of God...

Trust me, Miguel.

God is not behind any of this.

God is behind everything, Miles.

He chooses people to do His work.

For whatever reason, He's chosen you.

After yesterday, I can see why.

Miles.

Hey, Dad.

I...

I heard about your Friend Suggestion.

Yeah. Yeah.

And how's the fundraising going?

Better than I had hoped.

People are really responding
to Miguel's story.

And the funds are pouring in.

- That's terrific.
- Yeah.

Why do I get the sense that

that's not why you came down here?

Because it's not.

It's about Cara.

Things haven't settled between you two?

No.

- I'm not sure if they will.
- Hmm.

Dad, I think the only way for
us to save our relationship

is to give up the God Account.

I see. Is that what she wants?

No. She would never say it,
but I can tell deep down,

she knows it's the only way.

And you want me to tell you

that you're making the right decision,

- is that it?
- Am I?

Let me ask you a question.

When you imagine your future,

and you're looking back
at this moment right now,

what decision would you regret the most?

Walking away from the God Account,

or Cara?

I never thought of the God Account

as being in my life forever.

But with Cara,

I do.

I guess you have your answer.

Hey, I just saw Miguel's GoFundMe page.

- It's already at $25,000.
- Yeah.

Looks like everything is gonna work out.

Which is why I came down here.

To talk about us.

Cara, you were right.

When it comes to the God Account,

what we want might not matter.

But that's only if we have
the God Account in our lives.

What are you saying?

I'm saying...

I choose you.

Miguel is my last Friend Suggestion.

Miles, I... I can't ask you to do that.

You're not.

This is what I want.

Hey, Miguel. What's going on?

What?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

What's wrong?

Miguel's at the hospital.

Ava just went into kidney failure.

They're not sure she's gonna make it.

Look. I am so sorry, Miguel.

Ava's kidneys stopped
responding to dialysis.

We all knew this was a possibility.

It just happened faster
than we thought it would.

Is there anything they can do?

The doctors said unless
she gets a transplant,

she won't make it more
than a day or two.

Well, what about the donor list?

Given her condition, she had to move up.

She did. Ava's number two on the list.

And a kidney became
available this morning.

It's type O. A universal donor.

The person ahead of her

is being prepped for surgery right now.

Chances of finding a match for
Ava on time are next to none.

Miguel, I don't know what to say.

I promised to help save your daughter...

Miles.

I could have all the money in the world,

and it wouldn't be enough to fix this.

But because of you,

I'm able to be here with her.

Even if it's to say goodbye.

That's why I called. I just
wanted to say thank you.

So you really think this is
what the God Account wanted?

To make sure that Miguel was
with his daughter in the end?

No, there must be something
that we're missing.

You okay?

It's the best day of my life.

They just found a kidney
match for my son, Ben.

We've been waiting for over two years.

It's a miracle.

That's great news. Congratulations.

We're actually here because

we know the family who's next in line.

Well, tell them to hang in there.

I know how powerless it
feels just sitting around.

All I wanted was to be
a match for my son,

but Ben's blood type is just so rare.

You mind if I ask what it is?

AB negative.

Less than 1% of the population has it.

That's it. That's what
we've been missing.

I need to find Miguel.

Miguel.

Hey, I've been looking all over for you.

Miles, what is it?

Look, you said that your blood
type is extremely rare.

That's why you weren't a match for Ava.

- That's right.
- Are you AB negative?

Yeah. How'd you know that?

You said you couldn't save
your daughter's life.

I think you can.

Just not the way you thought.

You are gonna do great.

And I apologize on behalf
of both of the Finer men

for their absence tonight.

Thank you, Ali.

But it's okay.

Your father has important
business with the diocese.

Ladies and gentlemen, Trish Allen.

Okay, that's my cue.

- Break a leg.
- Thank you.

Thank you for meeting
with us, Bishop Finer.

Sorry for the short notice.

No problem at all.

I appreciate the chance to
walk you through my ideas.

Is that a copy of your proposals?

Um, yes.

Truth be told,

everything you need to
know are in these folders.

Do you have somewhere else to be?

Actually,

I do.

My sincere apologies, but I have to go.

Arthur,

we didn't come all the way down here

just to look over your agenda.

We want to get to know who you are.

What you believe in.

It's far more important than
whatever's in these files.

We can agree on that.

And I will be happy to sit
with you any other night.

I'll fly to Washington if I have to.

And I should have told
you that from the start.

But my fiancée is singing tonight.

It's important to her.

And I need to be there.

I think that tells you
everything you need to know

about me.

This next song,

I wrote for my fiancé.

Who never ceases to surprise me.

♪ I waited so long ♪

♪ For this moment ♪

♪ To stand ♪

♪ Here with you ♪

Mr. and Mrs. Solano.

- The results are in.
- So?

Well, not only are you the
same blood type as Ben,

but you are also a perfect tissue match.

Now I spoke to his family,

and if you are willing to
donate your kidney to Ben,

then Ava would be approved

to receive the kidney
that's coming in now.

Absolutely.

With the organ already en route,

we expedited all of the paperwork.

So let's get you prepped for surgery.

Thank you.

Looks like you made good on
your promise after all, Miles.

If you hadn't saved my life,

I wouldn't be here to save hers.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You were...

amazing.

What are you doing here?

What happened with the bishops
from the executive council?

I told them that I would
love their support.

But that there was some
place I needed to be.

You know what? I'm gonna
go grab a drink at the bar.

That's incredible.

Thank you.

That means the world to me.

I can't believe that I even
considered missing it.

You have given so much for us.

That from now on,

you come first.

And if something is important to you,

I'm gonna be there.

Always.

Well, I'm glad to hear it
because I just thought

of something that is
very important to me.

That was quick. What is it?

You.

It's us, Arthur.

I'm ready to get married.

I am ready to be your
wife as soon as possible.

The surgeries were a success.

_

Look, I thought about what you said.

And I want you to know
that I appreciate it.

But you can't walk away from
the God Account, Miles.

Cara...

No, look. I have seen you
do some amazing things.

But today,

today was a reminder of
how special you are.

It took five years

for the God Account to find
a replacement for Gideon.

Think about all the lives
that won't be helped,

the lives that won't be
saved if you walk away.

How could we be happy
together knowing that?

That's why I need to walk
away from the God Account

and from you.

Wait... hey, Cara. Cara... Cara, hey.

Don't, don't, don't. Don't do this.

I don't see any other way.

I wish I did.

But you can't leave the God
Account and I can't stay.

Not after what happened,
knowing it'll happen again.

Okay, what if I walked away,

and no one from the
God Account got hurt?

What if there was a way
that we could be together

and no one had to pay the price?

There is nothing that I want more.

But we both the God Account
won't let that happen.

I'm sorry.

Miles,

I love you.

But it's over.

I'm sorry, Miles. Like,
I know how hard this is.

But at least she still loves you.

But knowing she still loves me

doesn't make it easier,
Rakesh. It makes it harder.

And also, why are we walking
to Grand Central again?

I told you, there's a churros stand

that's gonna blow your mind, okay?

It's the first place I came
after Jaya and I broke up.

Okay, so first burritos,
and now churros?

You have a problem, Rakesh.

I love food, okay? Guilty as charged.

What are you gonna do, man?

I don't know.

But Cara was right about one thing.

It took the God Account five years

to find a replacement for Gideon.

If I walk away now, who knows how long

before Friend Suggestions
were being helped again?

Too bad we can't just find
your replacement now, huh?

Wait.

That's it.

What is?

If I can figure out who's
behind the God Account,

then maybe I can convince them to
find someone else to take over.

And when they do, Cara
and I can be together.

Sounds like a good plan.

- Yeah?
- Other than, you know,

having absolutely no way to
track down who's behind this.

Miles?

- Joy?
- Rakesh.

Hey, Joy. What are you doing here?

I just got back into town.

This is crazy, I was literally
about to call you guys.

I'm back working as a
public defender in Chicago.

I'm here in town for a case.

Oh, wait, that's great.
What kind of case?

Well, actually, that's
part of the reason

I wanted to talk to you.

Miles, I have a lead on the God Account.

What are you talking about?

The Friend Suggestions.
They're not picked at random.

I found a connection
between all of them.
