God Friended Me

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

Unfortunately, your current treatment

didn't give us the results we were hoping for.

So what's the next step?

We're gonna have to get more aggressive.

I wanted to see if you were interested

in getting dinner sometime.

So I went on a date with Adam.

Parker said not to tell Miles.

Yeah, I think she's right.

I have a lead on the God Account.

There's a waitress I need to talk to at a diner

across town. Uh, you're Marsha Smith, right?

I know Alphonse, the father of your son, Corey.

I just thought you might be able to get me in touch

- with him. - No, I can't.

I followed Corey's mom to Brooklyn.

She's in some building called the National Sewing Company.

It's just a front for DARPA.

Are you saying that the God Account

could be a massive government experiment?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

How are things with Ali?

Did she have her next round of chemo?

She was supposed to today, but the doctor wants to talk to us

- before moving forward. - Is everything okay?

I think so. All she said was there were

other treatment options she wanted to discuss.

Hey, two coffees and an extra chili cheese fries

with everything for me.

- What? - It's 8:00 a.m.

Exactly. I heard breakfast is supposed to be

the most important meal of the day, so...

Anyway, still no sign of Corey Smith?

- No. - I mean, no one has come in

or out of this building in, like, three days.

Maybe we're wrong about this being a front for DARPA.

That's possible, but I get this feeling

they got a private entrance somewhere else.

So continuing to stake this place out

in hopes of confronting Corey is a waste of time.

Right.

I did reach out Adam, see if he has any contacts inside DARPA.

I'm just waiting to hear back.

I didn't know you and Adam were still working together.

Yeah, well, he was a huge help in finding

the underground poker club

that led us to DARPA in the first place.

Makes sense. So if he knows anyone,

maybe he could get a message to Corey...

tell him we just wanna talk.

Actually, we already have someone who can do that.

Marsha, Corey's mom.

Whoa. Didn't she make it pretty clear she didn't wanna help us?

I mean, how are you gonna change her mind?

By sending a message of my own.

I will catch up with you guys later.

Oh, I gotta meet Ali at the hospital.

Okay.

Happy to do the stakeout by myself, thank you.

Just me and my fries.

I know we were planning to start

your second round of chemo tomorrow,

but I wanted you to meet

our hospital administrator, Ms. Marshall, first.

It's nice to meet you all.

And please call me Tammy.

Tammy oversees new drug trials here at the hospital.

- What kind of trials? - We're about to start the second round

on a promising new drug that's shown remarkable results

in shrinking tumors that initially resist

traditional chemotherapy...

tumors like yours, Ali.

So you're saying I would start this new treatment

instead of my second round of chemo?

That would be the hope.

With your permission,

I'd like to have your file transferred to my department

- for a better look. - But we know time is a factor.

- When would she start? - The trial starts in a few days,

so no impact there.

Dr. Chang and I agree that you'd be an excellent candidate.

That said, due to the drug's early results,

we have been inundated with patients looking to participate.

Is there anything we can do to increase her chances

- of getting in? - Unfortunately, no.

At the end of the day, Tammy and her team will review

all the applicants' results and make their final decisions.

Dr. Chang will schedule some additional blood work

and panels to see if you qualify, and I'll be in touch.

It was nice meeting you all.

I can't believe it, Miles.

I have been praying for something like this to happen.

Hello? A little excitement, please?

No, I... I am excited. It's just I can't stop thinking

there must be something we can do to make sure you get in.

Too bad I'm not a Friend Suggestion.

I'd be a lock.

The God Account just liked a music video on YouTube.

Miles, I know you think the God Account might help

with my cancer, but you weren't really expecting to get me

as a Friend Suggestion, were you?

Well, why not? After everything I've done for it,

it'd be nice if it did something for you.

Well, clearly it wants you to help someone else.

Let's see this video.

Hey, guys, my name's Kylie,

and this is "Have a Little Faith in Me."

Miles, she's phenomenal.

And look at the view count.

Hey.

There's nothing we can do about the trial

other than wait and see.

Go help your Friend Suggestion.

I mean, if nothing else, we can use all the good karma we can get.

- Yeah. - Come on.

Here you go.

Still time?

Hi.

I thought I made myself clear.

I'm not answering any questions about my son.

You might as well leave.

I followed you

to the National Sewing Company last week.

I know Corey works for DARPA,

and I know what he's working on.

I need you to deliver a message.

- And what would that be? - I need to talk to him.

2:00 p.m., tomorrow, my office at "Catapult."

He'll never talk to a reporter.

Well, that's fine. But at 2:01, he'll read my article

about the code he wrote that he's been testing

on my friend Miles Finer.

I'm sure readers would be fascinated to learn

that DARPA's using innocent civilians

as test subjects for their new technology.

Or, we can have a conversation, just the two of us,

off the record.

Whoa.

It's like we just stepped onto the set of "High Fidelity."

- Huh? - John Cusack, Jack Black...

- Never mind. - Okay, um,

according to her Facebook page,

Kylie works here after school.

- Isn't that her? - Yeah.

- Hi, can I help you? - Uh, yes.

Actually, I was looking for some music for my sister,

and I thought a vinyl would be a great gift.

Yeah, what kind of music does she like?

Mainly R&B. She says hip-hop,

but that's just an act.

Got it... old soul. Follow me.

Wait, hey, aren't you the girl from the YouTube cover,

- Kylie? - Yeah, you've seen it?

Someone liked it on Facebook. I thought I recognized you.

- I'm Miles, this is Rakesh. - Nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you. Wow, talented YouTube star.

Your parents must be really excited for you.

Uh, it's just me and my mom.

And she's here.

Sorry, could you excuse me for a sec?

Yeah.

Seems like a good kid. I wonder why the God Account

- sent you her name. - I think I know why.

It's Kylie's mom.

- What do you mean? - She's in charge

of Ali's cancer trial.

Rakesh, she's the one who's gonna be able to choose

- whether she gets in or not. - Okay, Miles,

- that can't be a coincidence. - No, it's not.

Hey, I think the God Account is trying to help Ali

by sending Kylie as a Friend Suggestion.

Yeah, that makes sense. Fix Kylie's problem,

and her mom can't help but be grateful.

- Yeah. - Will you at least listen to her?

Alex says this tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You're 16.

You're not signing with that manager,

and you're definitely not going on some tour.

I'm not gonna let you derail your life.

Mom, please, will you just talk to her...

The answer is no, Kylie.

Okay, things just got complicated.

Hey, sorry, we just overheard your conversation.

- Are you okay? - Not really.

I should've known my mom wouldn't let me go on tour.

And why's that?

Because being in the music industry has been my dream

for as long as I can remember.

Even before the video went viral,

I was getting offers from labels and managers.

She said no to all of it.

Hey.

Where's your mom?

I thought she was coming down to meet us.

She did. She already left.

Oh, it went that well, huh?

I told you she'd never go for it.

- Sorry, this is Miles and Rakesh. - Hi.

- Alex Moss. - You're Kylie's manager?
