God Friended Me (2018): Season 2, Episode 14 - Raspberry Pie - full transcript

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

Three weeks ago, I found a lump.

You have a ductal carcinoma
in your left breast.

Well, I was considering freezing my eggs

before treatment.

Ali, this is no time to be taking risks.

I have decided to meet
with a fertility specialist.

I need to do this.

Look, I know this isn't easy for us,

but we're still friends, and
I am so thankful for that.

Me too. It's just a lot
harder than I thought.



- Yeah, I know.
- Adam Gray.

You know, I've heard a lot about you.

I was hired by Alphonse Jeffries.

What can you tell me
about Alphonse Jeffries?

We served in the war together.

I think he may be behind
the God Account.

I'm sorry. I'm not behind
the God Account.

Why would you hire someone
to hack your system

when you bought "New York Sun"?

I didn't hire anyone to hack my system.

The hacker. He took off.

Wait, you think he's
behind the God Account?

Look what he left us.

Hey. Hey, Rakesh.



We came as soon as we could.
You said it was important.

I swear, if this is about
another food truck...

Well, there is a killer dumpling
spot around the corner,

but this is slightly better.

It's about the hacker
connected to the God Account.

I got his name. It's Tze Yin.

Follow me.

So I got his lease from his ex-landlord,

and it had his cell phone listed,

and I'm tracking it right now.

It should be up the block.

Rakesh, that's incredible.

Yeah, if we can find Tze,
then we can figure out

who's behind the God Account.

Well, he should be right about...

here.

That's weird. It's saying we're standing

right next to Tze Yin.

I'm Tze Yin.

Uh, Rakesh, didn't you
say he was, like, 25?

He is. Um, sir...

is this your phone number?

Yes.

Uh, well, you wouldn't happen
to rent an apartment

in SoHo, would you?

No, I think you might have me
confused with someone else.

Well, either that's Tze in
an incredible disguise,

or he put a bogus name
on his apartment lease.

Okay, so first the guy plays us

by leaving the queen of hearts
at the apartment, and now this?

We don't even know the guy's real name.

Well, I think for the
sake of simplicity,

we should just stick with
calling him Tze for now.

Fine. Um, look, any
luck on tracking down

Tze's online poker handle?

Wait, what are you guys talking about?

Well, when we first met Tze,

It's for high rollers, very exclusive,

but, unfortunately,
the handle he was using,

it was registered to a dummy email.

I mean, if he logs back in,
I can trace his location,

but up until then, all we can
do is basically just wait.

That's okay. We'll figure it out.

And hopefully our next Friend Suggestion

gives us a lead on who's
behind the God Account.

I don't... I don't think so.

What makes you so sure?

Because my next Friend Suggestion is me.

I don't get it. Why
would the God Account

send me my own name?

Well, maybe there's something
you need to help yourself with.

I mean, at least you can
skip the awkward part

where you have to explain
you aren't the God Account.

Hey, Al. How you feeling?

I am good,

just like I told you last night
and again this morning.

Okay. I'm sorry. I will back off...

for a few hours.

What are you working on?

I am making a spreadsheet

to track my fertility treatments.

Oh, yeah. How are things going?

So far, it's all good two weeks in.

I've got an ultrasound later on today,

and the doctors are optimistic, so...

Well, that's great to hear.

What are you guys up to?

Oh, you know, usual Monday.

Miles just got a Friend
Suggestion for himself.

That's weird. What do
you think it means?

No clue.

Hmm. Oh, speaking of Facebook,

Miles, I didn't know
you were so passionate

about saving the whales.

Ali, what are you talking about?

The fund-raiser you posted for
your birthday in two weeks.

What? Ali, I didn't start a fundraiser.

Okay, well, someone did,
and I gave them 25 bucks.

What? No.

There is nothing on my
page about a fundraiser.

It's a scam. Ali, can I see your laptop?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

So this is Ali's Facebook page, right?

This is the alert from Miles
about the fundraiser.

You click on it,

and instead of sending
you to Miles's page,

it sends you to a clone account.

Identical, except for the fundraiser.

Okay, so someone hacked my account.

No, it wasn't hacked. It was cloned.

Someone used your name

and created an identical profile.

Wait, Miles, pull up
the Friend Suggestion

you got for yourself.

Is the fundraiser on that page?

Yeah, it is.

So the God Account didn't
send me a Friend Suggestion

for myself, but for this clone page?

Looks that way. But why do that?

Well, maybe it wants you
to help whoever cloned it.

Yes. Hey, Rakesh,
can you trace their IP?

Yeah, I'm on it.

And the plot thickens.

The IP traces to a satellite office

for the Department of Defense.

The God Account wants
me to help a scammer

that works in the government?

We're gonna find out soon enough,

'cause I sent just a private message

to fake Miles telling him he
got 30 minutes to meet us

in the lobby of the DoD,

or we're gonna report their
scam to their employers.

_

Our scammer just responded.

He should be on his way down right now.

Okay, good, because we're
gonna need an explanation.

Hey, you don't think we made a mistake

reaching out like this, do you?

What are you talking about?

Look around... I mean,

government suits, high-tech security.

The guy could be CIA for all we know.

What if we just
blackmailed Jason Bourne?

We? This was your idea.

I kind of signed the private message

as the real Miles Finer, so...

in this together, bro.

Miles Finer?

Uh, yeah. Who are you?

I'm Zack Waller.

Wait, you're the guy
that cloned my account?

- You're a kid.
- Said you wanted to talk.

So what do you want?

Well, you cloned my account

and you scammed my friends and family.

I want to know why.

Because I could. Anything else?

Okay, you got way too much
attitude for a 14-year-old,

and also, how are you
working at the DoD?

I'm 16, and I got an internship

with their cyber unit last month.

I'm somewhat of a coding prodigy.

You know, a prodigy would know better

than to use people's social
media to steal their money.

It worked, right?

If it worked, Zack, we wouldn't be here.

Well, I still got the money, so...

Anyway, who do you guys work for?

I have a podcast,

and Rakesh works at IdentitySeal.

Wow.

For a second, I thought
I was in actual trouble.

I want to know why you cloned my profile

and why you chose me.

Look, I didn't choose you, all right?

I programmed a very complex algorithm

that scrapes up data and
makes picture-perfect copies

of people's personal profiles
who were born this month.

So I take it you're an Aquarius, yeah?

There you go.

So you're just doing this
to steal people's money?

I mean, it's a little side hustle...

- a little pocket change.
- Well, look, Zack, that stops now.

I want you to take down the clone pages

and return all of the money.

Look, if it'll make
this conversation end,

I'll take down the accounts,

but there's no way I'm
giving back that money.

- I can't.
- Yes, you can.

And if I don't, what?

Hmm?

What? You're gonna report me?

Go ahead.

Really, 'cause by the time
anybody investigates me,

I'll just erase all the evidence.

So...

good talk.

So what do we do now?

I don't know.

But something tells me
that kid is doing way more

than just scamming a few
bucks off of the Internet.

And for whatever reason,

the God Account wants us to help him.

We need to figure out why.

Adam.

Love what you've done with the place.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Just thought I'd drop by

and congratulate you on your promotion.

Oh. Well, thank you.

And congrats on your new
job at Vice, by the way.

I know we didn't really get
to talk before you left.

Better late than never.

Yeah.

So is that the only
reason you stopped by?

No, actually, I wanted to...

Oh, sorry. I'm looking into something.

Anything I can help with?

I don't.

However, I did do a piece

on New York's underground poker
scene a few months back.

A-List is actually a
very exclusive site,

and the founder hosts
a high-stakes table

at a secret location in the city.

You're kidding...
Miles and I are looking

for someone who plays on that site.

His name is Tze Yin.

Never heard of him,

but most of the high rollers on A-List

do play at this table.

Maybe he's one of them.

Well, do you have any
idea where the game is?

I don't. I can check
with my original source,

see if they're willing
to give me a location.

Yeah, that would be great. Thank you.

I owe you one.

I'm gonna go.

Oh, uh, wait, what did
you want to tell me?

Nothing. I'll call you
when I hear something.

Okay, so our Friend Suggestion

is a 16-year-old coding genius

who interns at the DoD?

Yeah, totally normal thing
for a teenager to do.

There is nothing normal about this kid.

I mean, the algorithm he built

to pull off his little
scam is very advanced.

I'm impressed. I mean, kid's got game.

So any idea what the God Account
wants us to do for him?

Other than stopping him from
ripping people off, no clue.

Well, I'm digging into Zack right now,

trying to see if there's
more going on here

than just, you know, a simple scam.

Ooh, how did things go at "Catapult"?

Oh, uh, actually, I ran into Adam Gray.

He came by to congratulate
me on my promotion.

He's familiar with email, right?

Meaning?

Meaning, clearly, he wanted
to see you in person, Cara.

Okay, Rakesh, it wasn't like that.

And anyways, okay,
here's the interesting part.

So he wrote an article on the
New York City poker scene.

Turns out, A-List holds

an underground game
for their high rollers,

and he thinks that Tze might play there.

Does he know where the game is gonna be?

No, but he's talking to
a source that might.

- Uh, guys, check this out.
- Wait, did you find something?

Kind of... I mean, looks like
Zack had his life together.

He's in ROTC,

got accepted early into West Point.

So why risk his entire
future over a few bucks?

It's actually way more than a few bucks.

Looks like Zack cloned
hundreds of Facebook accounts

all running the same birthday scam.

Wait, so how much money did he raise?

$10,000.

So now we're adding jail time
into the mix if he gets caught.

We have to stop him.

Yeah, and since Zack has no
intention of listening to us,

his parents need to
know what's going on.

Hey, Rakesh, can you...

Send you the Wallers' address?

Check your phone. Just did.

All right, perfect.

Okay, I'm gonna talk to his
parents in the morning.

- You want to come with?
- Yeah, sure.

Okay. Rakesh, follow the money.

We need to figure out what
Zack needs with $10,000.

You ever notice how no one
ever makes eye contact

in a waiting room?

Everyone's always on their phone,

or they're just staring at the ground.

See?

Sorry. Uh, let's break that trend.

- I'm Ali.
- Emily.

That's one of my favorite novels.

Hmm. Mine too.

It's, uh, actually why
I'm forcing my students

to read it this semester.

I teach English at Harlem Parochial.

I went there growing up. Small world.

Hey, is Mr. Wheeler still
teaching chemistry there?

Yeah, he's still going.

Are you waiting for someone, or...

Uh, no. Just me.

I'm actually here 'cause
I'm freezing my eggs.

I just don't really have
much time for dating,

and I'm not sure when
I'll meet the right person,

but when that day comes,

I just want to make sure
I have options, and I...

and I am totally over-sharing right now.

I-I'm sorry. I-I do that.

Don't be sorry. It's refreshing.

Hmm. You're being generous,
but I will take it.

What about you?

Same.

Yeah, yeah, things are busy

with trying to plan out my future

and working shifts at a bar.

Oh, you moonlight as a bartender.

I manage the Honeysuckle Rose.

Make the best damn
Manhattans in Manhattan.

Well, I love a woman who knows
how to make a good drink.

Emily Landry.

Uh, yeah, that's me.

It was really nice meeting you, Ali.

Yeah, you too.

Uh, hey, um, about what
Rakesh said earlier

about why Adam stopped by...

Miles, he wasn't there to ask me out.

And if he was?

Uh, then I would've said no.

I'm not interested in
dating anyone right now.

Uh, this is the address.

Eric Waller?

That's me. How can I help you?

Hi, my name is Miles Finer.
This is Cara Bloom.

We're here about your son Zack.

Is he in some sort of trouble?

He's running a scam on social media.

He stole money from a
whole bunch of people,

including my sister.

Come in.

How much has he stolen?

Uh, around $10,000.

Oh, my God.

I promise you.

I will make sure he returns
every dime of that.

Do you have any idea

what he would need that
kind of money for?

Actually, I think I do.

His mom was a soldier.

Six months ago, she was doing a tour

in Afghanistan when she was killed.

I'm sorry.

When we were denied the
Gold Star for her service,

Zack took it especially hard.

He idolized his mother...

the sacrifices she was
making for her country.

He wants to follow in her footsteps.

Do you mind me asking
why you were denied

the Gold Star honor?

Because according to the
military investigation,

Meg went AWOL the night she was killed.

Zack thinks the Army
is trying to cover up

what really happened.

He mentioned trying to hire

a high-priced lawyer a few weeks back.

That's what Zack needs the money for.

He wants to know the truth about
what happened to his mom.

Yeah.

Except I don't think
there was a cover-up.

Why is that?

Meg was in the middle
of a 12-month tour.

The last time we spoke...

she was exhausted.

Sounded like she was ready to come home.

We were ready to have her home.

I don't know what happened.

But Zack won't let it go.

Look, he's a great kid,

and he's got his whole
future ahead of him.

I just don't want to see him lose it.

I know how hard this must be for you.

It is, but you coming to me

instead of the police makes it easier.

Thank you.

So it seems like Eric can't
get through to Zack.

Maybe we're supposed
to help him do that.

We can call Joy.

Maybe she knows a lawyer

who specializes in military cases.

Hey, it's Rakesh. Hey, what's up?

Miles, are you guys
still at Zack's place?

No, no, we just left.

Zack's dad is going to
put a stop to the scam.

We think Zack is going to use
the money to hire a lawyer.

Dude, I'm pretty sure the
money was for something else.

- And he already used it.
- What do you mean?

Well, I was able to get into
Zack's PayPal account,

and it looks like all the
money went towards

buying a modified Raspberry Pi.

Zack spent 10 grand on dessert?

Contrary to conventional wisdom,

a Raspberry P-I is not
a delicious pastry.

It is a very powerful
credit-card-sized computer.

What would Zack need with that?

Well, with the right code built into it,

a hacker could use a Raspberry Pi

to break into highly
secure closed networks.

The DoD is home to classified
military intelligence,

as in the type of intel

that would give Zack answers
about his mother's death.

Zack is gonna hack into the
Department of Defense.

Zack gets out of class at 2:30,

which means we just beat him here.

You know, I have to say,
stopping a Friend Suggestion

from hacking classified
government intelligence,

that's got to be a first.

What? Wait, Rakesh just texted me

saying that Zack's not
coming to the DoD.

He gave me an address across town,

said we need to get
there ASAP... come on.

Wait, weren't we just talking to Rakesh?

How does he even know where
Zack is in the first place?

I don't know.

But if you're Zack and you're planning

on hacking into the DoD,

why all of a sudden go across town?

Something's not right.

- Miles, what's up?
- Hey, Rakesh.

Did you just send me a message

saying that Zack's on
the other side of town?

No. What are you talking about?

Dude, I think Zack cloned your
phone and sent me a text.

Damn, that's exactly
what I would've done.

Yeah, Rakesh, we'll call you back.

Nice try.

You're smarter than I thought.

Mm-hmm. Let's go.

- I like your new sidekick.
- Funny.

So what do you guys want this time, huh?

We spoke to your father this morning.

- Spoke to my dad?
- Yes.

He told us what happened with your mom.

He thinks you're gonna
use the money you stole

to hire a lawyer to find out answers

about your mother's death.

Yeah, but we know your real
plan involves the Raspberry Pi

that's probably in your
backpack right now.

So what if it does?

Look, Zack, we get that you want to know

what happened to your mom,
but hacking into the DoD

is gonna put you in a lot of trouble.

Only if I get caught, which I won't,

because I know what
I'm doing, all right?

Unless you guys want
to sell me out again.

I know what you are going through.

Losing a parent at such a young age

is a very hard thing to handle.

No, you don't. Okay?

Not knowing what really
happened to her...

them saying she went AWOL...

If the military won't give me
answers, I'll take them myself.

There's no other way.

You know what? Actually, maybe there is.

I have a friend who's in the Army...

Lieutenant James Freemont.
He's done two tours

in the Middle East.
He knows a lot of people...

maybe he can connect you with someone

who was in your mother's unit.

You think I haven't tried
that already, hmm?

Almost everyone in my mom's
unit has been redeployed,

and the only soldier
I was able to talk to,

- he didn't know anything.
- Zack, just gives us one day

to try to figure this out for you.

Yesterday you were trying to turn me in,

and now y-you want to help me?

Why?

Because despite committing
multiple felonies,

I think you have a pretty
bright future ahead of you.

And, Zack, I don't want to
see you throw that all away.

And I don't think your
mother would've either.

Either way, you're not walking in there

with the Raspberry Pi, so hand it over.

Fine.

- One day.
- Mm-hmm.

And after that, I want this back.

The doctor says everything
looks good on my ultrasound.

- Mm-hmm.
- The hormone treatments are working,

so I'm on track to have the
procedure in about a week.

Great.

And I'll be in the waiting room to
pick you up when it's all done.

So, if all goes according to schedule,

you'll be starting your cancer
treatment shortly thereafter.

Yes, Dad.

And it'll be okay. I promise.

And thank you so much
for being so supportive.

I'm here for you, sweetheart, always.

- Emily.
- Hey.

Uh, sorry if I'm interrupting.

No, not at all.

Dad, this is Emily. We're new friends.

Emily, this is my dad, Arthur.

- Great to meet you.
- Same.

- Uh, we're still on for dinner tonight?
- Wouldn't miss it.

Excellent. Nice meeting you.

Nice meeting you.

So what are you doing here?

I heard the bartender here
makes a mean Manhattan.

And I would be happy to pour
one for you on the house,

but I thought we weren't
supposed to drink

during our fertility treatment.

Uh, I didn't come for a drink.

I came to say I had a
really nice time yesterday,

getting to you know.

So did I.

Good.

'Cause I'd love to get to know you more,

you know, outside of a waiting room.

Maybe this Friday?

Unless I misread things.

You didn't misread anything. It's...

it's just bad timing.

You're in a relationship.

- No.
- Just getting out of one?

No, that's not it.

- It's...
- Private. I get it.

Sorry.

Well, maybe I'll see you
around the waiting room.

Yeah.

- Ah, great to see you again, Miles.
- Good to see you, too.

And nice to finally meet
you in person, Cara.

Yeah, you too.

I saw the video that went
viral a few months ago

of you and Rose kissing in Times Square.

I hope everything
worked out between you.

Well, it more than worked out.

Rose and I just got engaged.

Dude, that's great. Congratulations.

Thanks. So what can I do for you guys?

It's about a friend
of ours, Zack Waller.

His mother, Sergeant Meg Waller,

was killed in Afghanistan.

They're saying she went AWOL.

Yeah, he... he took
the news really hard.

He's hoping to connect
with someone from her unit

that might know happened,

but most of them have been redeployed.

I got a friend in Intelligence
that owes me a favor.

I'll reach out to him right now,

get back to you when I have something.

- Thank you.
- It's the least I could do

after everything you've done for me.

Talk to you guys later.

Oh, uh, it's Adam. He wants to meet.

- He's got a lead on a poker game.
- Hey, that's great.

I'll let you know when I
hear back from Freemont.

Yeah.

Hey. So my source tells me

the game is happening tomorrow night.

They don't have an address just yet.

Oh. Okay, great.

Thank you for going
through all the trouble.

But isn't this something that
you could've called me about?

The truth?

I wanted to see if you were interested

in getting dinner sometime.

Oh. Um...

Parker told me that you
and Miles broke up,

and I figured since we
don't work together,

I'd, um... take a chance.

Look, Miles and I just
broke up a few weeks ago.

I get it. No pressure at all.

I'm just happy to be chasing
this lead together.

I appreciate that.

I'll let you know as soon
as I get the address.

Hey, Rakesh, can you sell this

and refund all the
money that Zack stole?

Sure, but first, I want to
check out the kid's code.

Professional curiosity.

Okay.

Miles, this isn't a Raspberry Pi.

Yes, it is. He gave it to me.

This is a backup hard drive, bro.

- Wait, what?
- Yeah.

He played you.

Okay, lucky for us,
he didn't have a chance

to wipe it before giving it to you.

There's still a copy of
his VPN key in here.

Translation, please?

Well, his VPN gives us a way

to log on to his otherwise
untraceable private network,

which then gives us
access to his location.

- Okay, cool. So where is he?
- Let's see.

He's back at the coffee
shop across from the DoD.

Oh, no.

There's another IP address
using the same VPN,

and it's coming from...

inside the DoD.

He must've planted the
Raspberry Pi already.

Miles, Zack has access
to the DoD's intranet.

Wait, which means he can hack the DoD.

Not can, is, right now.

And if he gets caught,

he's going to jail for a very long time.

Miles, what's up?

Rakesh, I just heard back from Freemont.

He found a soldier in Meg's unit,

said that he's willing to talk to Zack.

- He may have answers.
- Okay, that's great.

Assuming we can stop him in time.

How are things going on your end?

I'm trying to shut down his VPN

so he loses access to his Raspberry Pi,

but, Miles, you need to hurry.

Well, yeah, I-I'm, like, a block away.

Okay, I called Cara.

She's on her way with Zack's dad.

How much longer can you hold him off?

Right now I'm using,
like, every last shred

of the IdentitySeal
servers to slow him down,

but every move I make,
he seems to have an answer for.

Like, this kid, he's got serious skills.

Okay, bro, just buy me one more minute.

So did we make it in time?

I hope so.

- Dad, what the hell are you doing?
- It's over.

I'm stopping you from
making a huge mistake.

Mistake?

Dad, I was 15 seconds
away from the truth.

Mom would want us to know
what happened to her.

But not if it's going to
cost you your entire future.

Dad, I'm not giving up. I can't.

It's not about giving up.

It's about coming to terms with the fact

that we're never gonna
know what happened.

And even if we did,

it won't bring your mom back.

I know.

Dad, I know Mom's not coming back.

But one way or another,

I'm gonna find out what happened to her.

And there's nothing
you can do to stop me.

Zack, there is another way.

I heard back from Lieutenant Freemont,

and he found someone who was
a part of your mother's unit.

They just got back from a tour.

They can meet with you tomorrow,

so you can get your answers

the right way.

Ali.

Hey, Dad. What are you doing here?

Well, when you canceled dinner tonight,

I got concerned and wanted to
make sure that you were okay.

I am. I just...

I had a lot on my mind.

I know.

If you want to talk, I'm here to listen.

Do you remember my friend Emily,

the one you met earlier?

Yeah, yeah, she seemed very nice.

She's great.

After you left,
she asked me out on a date.

- Well, that's terrific, right?
- Actually, I said no.

You just said she was great.
Why would you say no?

Isn't it obvious?

Because of what you're facing.

It didn't seem fair to her.

Best-case scenario,
the two of us really hit it off.

And then what?

I'm asking a stranger
to hold back my hair

while I throw up from the chemo?

- It's too much to take on.
- You're right, Ali.

I mean, you have a long
fight ahead of you.

Exactly.

It's naive to think that your
life won't change a great deal

over the coming months,
and if you're not interested

in dating right now, well, that's fine,

but just because your life will change

doesn't mean it needs to stop.

Miles, Cara, this is
Private Joseph Martinez.

Thank you for meeting with us.

This is Mr. Eric Waller and is son Zack.

I think you knew Zack's mom.

I did.

Meg saved my life more than once.

She was one hell of a soldier.

Zack just wanted to ask
you a few questions.

I'm pretty sure I know
what this is about.

Do you know what happened to my mom...

and why they're saying she went AWOL?

Because she did.

Our squad was stationed
outside a small village

called Deh Bala.

We rotated sentry duty at night.

Meg relieved me at 23:00, and, uh...

that was the last time
anyone saw her alive.

Classified her as AWOL the next morning.

Two scouts followed her
jeep's tire tracks to a house

on the outskirts of the district.

They found Meg's body.

But the house was empty.

I...

We have no idea why she was there.

No.

No, somebody is trying to cover
up what really happened.

Okay, there's got to
be more to the story.

Look, I'm sorry.

But there's no cover-up.

Thank you, Private.

Sorry, Zack.

This whole time, I...

I've just been searching for the truth.

And now I know I'll never get it.

Zack Waller?

Yes?

We're with the Department of Defense.

We recovered an unauthorized device.

We have you on camera entering
and exiting the building

within the five-minute time
frame that this was planted.

We're gonna need to bring
you in for some questioning.

It's been two hours, and
they won't tell me anything.

Why haven't they released him yet?

I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

Yeah, and whatever happens,
we'll help you figure this out.

Dad.

What happened?

Are they going to press charges?

No.

They... they said they
didn't have any evidence

of me hacking the system.

Well, you can thank Rakesh for that.

I don't need it.

It's the Raspberry Pi.

Maybe you can sell it,
pay everybody back.

I can do that.

They fired me,

and they said they're gonna
call West Point and...

revoke my admission.

We'll fight this.

Tell them everything you've been
through. Make them understand.

No, Dad, I...

I'm done fighting.

The... the future I wanted is gone.

I don't care what happens next.

I'm sorry we couldn't help more.

Don't be. If it wasn't for you,

it could've turned out a lot worse.

Thank you.

I was hoping I'd run into you.

Can I just say something first?

I didn't mean to...

overstep and show up at the
bar like that and ask you out.

You didn't. I'm glad you asked.

- Really?
- The other day...

I wasn't being honest about
why I'm freezing my eggs.

I have breast cancer.

And I am about to undergo treatment.

Ali, I am so sorry.

I didn't tell you in the bar
because I was afraid...

of getting involved with someone,

of being a burden...

because I cannot pretend to be
strong for one more person.

I already have to
pretend with my family.

But the truth is, I'm terrified.

Sometimes it's easier to talk
to a stranger than family.

Yeah.

I guess so.

Anyways, I just thought
you should know that

that's why I said no to a date.

It wasn't about you.

It's just...

this is my life right now.

So how's 7:00 tomorrow?

I don't get it... like,
why would the God Account

put us through all of this just so Zack

could give up on his future?

Look, at least we were able to save him

from jail time, right?

Also, I was able to
sell the Raspberry Pi.

I've been going through
each of the cloned pages

and refunding everyone
he took money from, so...

Oh, great. Adam got a
location on the poker game.

He says it starts in an hour

and to be on time. Doors close by 8:00.

That's perfect. Let's head down there.

- Hopefully Tze will be there.
- Miles, wait.

There's something strange about
one of these clone pages

from Zack's scam.

It's for a Raina Abass.

It says here she has a July birthday,

but everyone else was in February.

Okay, so what are you trying to say?

Zack's algorithm was perfect.

Raina's profile should not be in here.

Unless the God Account
wanted us to see it.

Yeah.

Wait a second, what was
the name of the village

where they found Zack's mom?

Deh Bala. Why?

Look at Raina's hometown.

Deh Bala, Afghanistan.

That can't be a coincidence.

She immigrated from
Afghanistan one month ago,

and she's living in
Queens with her family.

Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop.

Look at that picture.

That's Zack's mom.

Mm-hmm.

Rakesh, could you get me
an address for Raina?

- Yeah, on it.
- The truth Zack was searching for

was right in front of
him the whole time.

Okay, you guys find Raina.

I'm gonna head to this poker game,

but I'll call you if I find anything.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

- Miles.
- Hey, Mr. Waller.

W-what are you guys doing here?

There's someone I would
like for you to meet.

Your mother's unit was
passing by my home

on the outskirts of Deh Bala.

That's when I met her...

Sergeant Waller.

She offered us help
when no one else would.

My husband and I were trying
to get out of Afghanistan.

The insurgents found out about our plan,

and they didn't want us to leave.

The next night...

they came.

They were going to kill us.

- But then...
- She came back to help you?

That's why she left her post?

She came alone.

She told me that she
was violating orders

and that she didn't want to
put other soldiers at risk.

Which is why the military
never found out the truth.

She fought off these men

and allowed my husband and I to get out.

She gave her life doing it.

Five months later, we came to New York.

Without her, it would've never happened.

She saved us.

Your mother was the bravest,

most selfless woman I have ever met.

I owe her my life.

I spoke to Lieutenant Freemont.

He's gonna talk to the military

and let them know what really happened.

Now, your family may not
receive a Gold Star,

but your mother was definitely a hero.

Thank you, Miles.

You never gave up, son.

And now we finally know the truth.

And maybe we can still get
you back into West Point.

Dad, what's done is done.

I can't get that back.

But just because I can't
follow Mom's footsteps

doesn't mean I...

doesn't mean I can't make my own path.

Actually, I might be
able to help with that.

I got a couple friends
on the board at MIT

who might be interested in,
uh, floating a scholarship

to the kid with the skills to allegedly

hack into the Department of Defense.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, yeah.

I can make a few calls, right after

your internship with me at IdentitySeal.

We got to keep you out of trouble.

Okay? What do you say?

- Um, um, yes. Yes.
- Yes.

- I say yes.
- He says yes.

That was amazing.

Like, I've been missing
out on the best part

of helping our Friend
Suggestions way too often.

Yeah. Not bad, right?

Not bad at all.

All right, it is almost 8:30.

Hopefully Cara will be calling
with some good news soon.

Uh, about that.

You're cool with Cara following
this lead with Adam?

Look, Rakesh, I talked to her about it,

and Cara's not looking to
date anyone right now.

No, but sooner or later,

- she will.
- Yeah, yeah,

and, look, it's not gonna be easy,

but she needs to live
her life, and so do I.

Thanks again for doing this.

Of course.

And about what you asked earlier,

I'm flattered, really.

I'm just not ready to date yet.

Totally get it.

When you are, give me a call.

Here for the game.

Then swipe your key.

Uh, a key?

No key, no entry. Step aside.

Game closes in five minutes.

Come right in.

That was a queen of hearts.

Does that mean something to you?

Yeah, it does.

Hey.

Um, what happened?
I didn't hear back from you.

Yeah, well, we got there,

but we couldn't get
in without a keycard.

Wait, we hit another dead end?

Uh, I don't think so, actually.

Do you still have that queen of
hearts that Tze left behind?

Yeah, but it's just Tze's
way of reminding us

that we got played.

No. It's an invitation.

What do you mean?

The keycard that I needed
to get into the poker game,

it's a playing card, a queen of hearts,

just like the one you have in your hand.

For some reason, I think
Tze wants us at that game.

There's an RFID chip
in here. Cara's right.
