God Friended Me

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

I have breast cancer,

and I am about to undergo treatment.

You think that the God Account could help Ali somehow?

If Alphonse is behind the God Account,

then I need to strike a new deal.

I'm not behind the God Account.

We know you hacked "New York Sun."

Whoever this guy is, he is gone.

Look what he left us.

- Here for the game? - Then swipe your key.

That queen of hearts that Tze left behind...

it's an invitation.

So the location

for the poker game changes every week?

Yeah, but Adam was able to get the address for tonight.

Adam? Really? That's very nice of him.

So we just scan this card and hope for the best?

Well, that's assuming the chip inside the card

doesn't have Tze's personal information on it,

or worse, his picture.

Yeah, but Tze wouldn't have left it behind

unless he knew we could get in.

He wants us at this game.

Yeah. The question's, why?

If he works for the God Account,

what does he want us to find here?

Card?

Follow me, please.

Deal in for Player 22.

Enjoy your evening.

Player 22?

Uh, yes. Yes, that's me.

Is there... is there a problem?

Due for my break.

- We need to talk, now. - Okay.

Who are you?

You're not Player 22. I know him.

Where the hell is Aaron Lee?

Tze's real name is Aaron Lee?

Okay, uh, look. Honestly...

We have no idea where he is.

- Yeah? How'd you get his card? - Because he left it for us.

Yeah, right after he cleaned out his apartment

and skipped town.

What are you talking about? He can't be gone.

- We had a deal. - What kind of deal?

Look, obviously Aaron wanted us to find this game.

Maybe so that we all could meet.

If you tell us what's going on, maybe we could help.

Aaron has a particular skill set.

Yeah, he's a hacker. We know.

What was he gonna do for you?

He was gonna fix something from my past.

In return, I was gonna get him something he needed.

What?

A birth certificate.

I work in the county records office during the day.

He said he needed an original hard copy pulled.

Gave me a name.

- For who? - I don't know you.

Can you at least tell us why he needed the birth certificate?

All I know is he worked for some mysterious employer online

who wouldn't reveal who they were.

Aaron thought he'd figured out their identity.

Okay, whatever Aaron was gonna do for you, I can do it.

But we need the birth certificate that Aaron was after.

I need to make sure you're telling the truth

that Aaron skipped town.

How can I contact you?

I have a podcast called "The Millennial Prophet."

Write a message on my wall, and tomorrow

we can meet at a bar called The Honeysuckle Rose.

Miles...

if Aaron's mysterious employer really is the God Account...

Then the birth certificate will have the name

of whoever's behind it.

Hey, yeah, Dad,

I'm on my way to the hospital now.

I just needed to pick up a few items

for Ali's first day of treatment.

- Okay, I'll see you soon. - Watch out, watch out!

- Watch out! - Oh!

Hey, are you okay?

Hey, hey, are... are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

Thank you.

I've been waiting to crash into something

for the last ten minutes.

Soft grass is the best I could hope for.

- I'm Anna. - Uh, I'm Miles.

I... I take it you don't ride bikes too often, Anna?

Not since I was six. Fell off and broke my leg.

Been terrified to ride ever since.

So why get back on a bike?

I don't know.

I guess I realized life's too short

to be afraid of anything.

Sometimes you gotta throw a helmet on and get back out there.

Agreed.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

It was nice meeting you.

Miles.

- Hello. - Hi.

Uh, I'm Bishop Finer. This is my son Miles.

I'm Paula, one of the nurses.

The doctor has already ordered Ali's cocktail,

so we should be starting in a few minutes.

Great, thanks. How you feeling, sweetheart?

Oh, considering we haven't started yet,

I'm feeling great.

So what'd you bring me?

"What did you bring me?"

Now, what kind of question is that?

This was Mom's Bible.

She brought it with her to every treatment.

There's a passage that became our mantra.

Exodus 14:14.

When it came to cancer, she said

we had to go Old Testament.

"The Lord will fight for you,

and you have only to be still."

Miles, is that a cancer gift bag?

What? No, I... no, I just...

I got, you know, some magazines I knew you would like,

a journal, and a book.

Thank you.

I couldn't do this without you two.

Especially since I'm thirsty.

So could one of you grab me a soda?

Yeah, I... I'll get it.

Hey, Anna. It's Miles.

Miles, what are you doing here?

Uh, my sister is starting her first day of chemotherapy.

Tell her to request the heated blankets.

Trust me. They make all the difference.

I went through chemo a year ago.

Oh, wow.

I'm... I mean, you seem great.

Looks can be deceiving.

I found out recently my cancer came back.

I'm... I'm sorry. Are you...

When do you... when do you start treatment?

I don't.

- What do you mean? - It's aggressive.

My odds of beating it aren't great.

I don't wanna spend what time I have left sick from chemo

when I could be out running down pedestrians in a park.

That's why you got back on the bike.

Life's too short.

In my case, literally.

What's the point of, uh, terminal illness

if you don't have a bucket list, right?

Oh, speaking of which, I am late

for my pasta-making course at Del Posto.

Nice seeing you again, Miles.

Yeah, you too.

- Hey. - Hey.

Did James contact you?

Yeah, yeah. He should be here any minute.

I'm sorry, I was with my dad checking in on Ali.

How'd her first day go?

It's good. You know, it's early.

Miles, she is the toughest person

I have ever met; she is gonna get through this.

Yeah.

Well, hopefully I can get my new Friend Suggestion

to follow suit.

You got a new Friend Suggestion?

Her name is Anna.

She beat cancer a year ago,

but it's come back, and she's decided not to get treatment.

Why isn't she getting treatment?

Her cancer is aggressive,

and her odds of beating it are low.

She doesn't wanna spend

whatever time she has left sick.

Guess I could understand that.

I just have to figure out a way

to convince her to go to treatment.

How are you gonna do that?

No idea.

But she is livestreaming her bucket list and will be at the top

of the One World Trade Center

- in an hour. - You know, I've never been up there.

Me neither, but that changes today.

- Hey. - Miles, sorry I'm late.

Well, you were right. Aaron's in the wind.

If you can help me, we have a deal.

Okay. What do you need me to do?

A few years ago, I was arrested

on misdemeanor possession.

Marijuana.

I need you to hack into the police department and erase it.

That's a pretty big risk to take for a misdemeanor.

Yeah, he's right. Why does it matter now?

'Cause I just got engaged.
