All language subtitles for God friended me S01 Afl.11.English

You know Falken's real name?

- What was it?
- Henry Chase.

One of these students
must have written the article

about Henry Chase.
Her name's Pria Amar.

She hasn't seen Henry
since college.

Lucky for you, I've kept
the article I wrote.

After reading the articles,
I started inputting

all the coordinates
of all the Friend Suggestions

associated with them.
A Fibonacci Spiral.

Our next friend suggestion
is gonna complete the Spiral

and pinpoint the location.

- For what?
- Falken.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome back

to the "Millennial Prophet"
my old friend

and OG podcast guest,

Rabbi Zoe Schwartz.

Thank you, Miles.
It's good to be back.

We certainly have a lot
to chat about.

Well, I can tell that
you are dying to talk about

the God Account, so let's talk.

Miles, I'm not here to judge.
I've known you since college.

All you've ever wanted to do
is help people.

It sounds like whoever's
behind this God Account

is giving you that chance,
and you've embraced it.

- Thank you, Zoe.
- Yeah.

II have to admit,
the God Account...

With all of its mystery...
Has given me a sense

of purpose, and it feels good.

I'm happy for you, Miles,

but as a rabbi,
I would be remiss not to say

that what you're doing...
Reaching out to strangers,

changing lives...
Is an act of God.

You sound just like my father.

Ooh, speaking of Reverend Finer,

how are things between you
and Vader?

Actually, pretty great.

So I guess the only thing left

is just figuring out
who's behind the God Account

and why they chose you.

Well, you came
at a great time, Zoe,

because I am about
to drop some news

for all of my listeners.

My friends and I have unmasked

the man behind
the digital curtain,

found a hidden pattern
that will lead to Oz himself.

Sounds like you have it
all figured out, Miles,

but just remember

Every great story in the Torah,

there's always a test
in the end.

Are you prepared for that?

Well, I guess we're about
to find out.

So have you told Miles
you broke up with Eli?

It just happened, Parker.

Like, three days ago.

That's like a month
in the dating world.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell him, okay?

And before you ask,
breaking up with Eli

had absolutely nothing
to do with Miles.

Of course.

Besides, he's with Nia, so it...

doesn't matter.

Cara, I wanted to let you know

I have made a decision
about the opening in features.

Congratulations,
you got the job.

That's amazing, thank you.

Finish up whatever article
you're working on.

You start Monday.

Congrats!

I know how badly
you wanted this.

Yeah.

So now that you're moving on
from local stories,

I guess this means
no more God Account.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it does.

- Ali.
- Morning, Dad.

Where should I put them?
On the table is fine.

Okay.

They're beautiful.

Mom's favorite.

Can't believe it will be
17 years tomorrow.

Your mother wanted peonies

for her wedding bouquet...

but there was a, um...

Well, a mix-up
with the florist on the day,

and she got a bouquet
full of calla lilies instead.

God, she was so upset.

At first, the day was ruined,

but by the end of the wedding,
she, insisted

that calla lilies were
her new favorite flower.

I gotta run.
I gotta open up the bar.

Um, I was thinking

Since things are going well
with your brother and I,

maybe he'd like
to join us this year

at the cemetery.

I can ask.

That'd be great. Thank you.

Bye, Dad.

So I narrowed down
the possible center

of the Fibonacci Spiral
to a radius

of about ten square blocks,

and I was studying the Spiral
when I suddenly remembered

something from Pria's article
on Henry Chase.

She mentioned
this electronics store

where he bought
his first computer,

the computer that changed
the trajectory of his life,

and that address just so happens

to be inside
this ten-block radius.

This is where you guys are like,

"Rakesh, you are a genius.

Thank you, Rakesh."

Well, here we...

here we are.

You sure you still want
to go with "genius"?

Well, it looks like
they just opened.

Google Maps
must not have updated it.

I was just so sure
that this would lead us

to Falken, you know?

Well, it was
a valiant effort, Rakesh.

Guess we'll just have to wait
for another Friend Suggestion

to narrow it down.

Hey, you hear anything

about your big promotion?

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I...

- Where's Miles?
- Um...

Hey.

Miles?

Miles.

Hey.

Hey, what's up?

This is the intersection
where my mom was killed

in the car accident.

Tomorrow it'll be 17 years.

Miles, I'm so sorry.

You know, this...

intersection is
within the ten-block radius

of the Fibonacci Spiral.

Can't be a coincidence.

It's not.

Who's "Charles Cole"?

He's the drunk driver
that killed my mom.

I mean, why would
the God Account

send me his name?
Why would it ever think

that I would want to help him?

You know how
the God Account works.

He obviously was sent to you
for a reason.

I don't care!

There is no way in hell
I'm gonna help the guy

that killed my mom!

Miles.

Miles, if we don't help him,
we can't complete the Spiral.

Then we find another way.

Okay, look, maybe we should
just give you a second.

Take a break.

I'm fine, okay?

Charles Cole is off-limits.

We're not helping him.
Understood?

Okay.

You okay?

I don't know.

I mean, there is a line
I never thought

the God Account would cross,

but sending me Charles Cole?

They crossed it.

Yeah.

But still...

this can't be a coincidence.

You think I should
help this guy.

I think that this might be

about more than helping
Charles Cole.

I'm fine.

I don't need any help.

Okay.

Me and Dad are gonna go down
to the cemetery tomorrow.

You haven't been in a long time.

Maybe you can join us.
That's you and Dad's thing.

So let's make it an "us" thing.

I mean, you guys are finally
in a good place,

and I know it would mean
a lot to him...

and I think it would be
good for you.

Thanks...

but I'm okay.

So what do Cara

and Rakesh think
about you refusing to help?

They're my friends,
and they respect my decision.

I don't know, Cara.

Miles told us
to leave this alone.

I think we should respect
his decision.

Look, when Miles got
that Friend Suggestion,

I have never seen him so angry.

I mean, I think maybe
this might be about him

finally confronting his past.

Okay, umso you said

you followed Charles Cole
to a fire station.

Youyou know why he's there?

No, but I gotta go.

He just walked out.

I'm gonna go find out
what he was doing.

After the gear's checked,
I want everyone out back

for drills.

Excuse me.

Hey, II'm Cara Bloom.

Captain Daniel Estes.

How can I help you?

Um, I'm a journalist
for an online magazine,

and I'm writing a story
on Charles Cole.

I just saw him leave here,
and I was hoping you might

be able to tell me
why he stopped by?

I'm sorry, but I can't
help you with that.

If you'll excuse me...

Wait, please.

Look, last thing
Charlie needs is a reporter

digging up his past.

Yeah, that'sthat's not
actually why I'm here.

Truth?

I'm not here for a story.

I'm here because of my friend.

His mother was in the car
Charles crashed into

that night.

- I'm sorry.
- I was thinking if...

maybe he could talk to Charles,
it might help somehow.

I just wanted to get
a little background first.

Charles and I went
through the Academy together.

We kept in touch over the years,

not as much
as I would have liked.

- He wanted to be a fireman?
- Yeah.

That's actually why
he stopped by.

He wants to reapply
to the Academy.

He was hoping I could
give him a recommendation.

And you're not gonna
give him one?

Even if I did, I doubt
it would make a difference,

not with his criminal record...
Which is a shame.

Charles was only 18 when
he went through the Academy.

From day one he knew he wanted
to be the best,

and he was.

The night we graduated,
we all went out

to Crowley's Bar to celebrate.

When I woke up the next morning,

I found out about the accident.

Well, thank you
for speaking with me.

Um...

you know, after all these years,

do you know why he's reapplying
to the Academy now?

Age limit for enrollment is 36.

Charles' birthday is next month.

Guess he figured he'd give it
one last shot.

Thanks.

It's no use, Miles.

I've tried everything
I can think of

in order to figure out how
to complete the Spiral, but...

there's no way around it.

I need at least a few more
data points,

and the only way to get them...

is through
our Friend Suggestion.

- Rakesh...
- I'm not trying to push.

- You're not?
- Okay, okay, I am.

I am, but just because
helping him might be

the only way
we're gonna find Falken.

- Hey.
- Hey, what's up?

So I know you said
Charles Cole was off-limits,

but I think I know
why the God Account

sent you his name.

I've already told you,
I don't care.

Okay, well, this isn't
just about you.

I mean, we're all
in this together.

We've all been helping
these Friend Suggestions.

You can't just expect Rakesh
and I to walk away.

Just for the record,
I told her to respect

your decision,
but please go ahead.

Look, Miles, the night
of the accident,

Charles had just graduated
from the Fire Academy,

top of his class.

He was gonna be a firefighter
and he still wants to be.

Well, no one's stopping him.

Yeah, but no one's
helping him, either.

Good.

He does not deserve my help.

Well, how do you know that?

Okay, you don't know
anything else about him.

I don't need to know
anything else about him.

That's the point.

Nono, the point is that
you don't want to know

anything else about him,
because if you did,

if you knew who he was
before that night

or who he's been since then,
he'd become a real person,

and not just some ghost
that you can be angry at

and never have to face.

She's right, Miles.

I've known you
for a long time, man,

and I think you owe it
to yourself

to talk to this man.

- Can I interrupt?
- Always.

Twice in one day.
Here, what's on your mind?

The God Account sent Miles
a new Friend Suggestion.

Charles Cole.

I imagine that did not
go down well.

No, it didn't.

He refuses to help him.

I think he should, but he's
not ready to hear that yet.

I'm afraid he might never be.

Maybe.

Which is why...

I think you need
to finally tell him.

He may not be ready to hear it,
but he needs to, Dad.

I know, I know.

It's just...

it's taken us so long
to get back to where we are,

to the kind of relationship
I've always wanted for us.

That's why it's important
that it comes from you.

I'll talk to him,
just not today.

We both know how
that conversation will go.

I just need to get through
the next few days

and remember your mother
in peace, if that's okay.

Of course.

I'm glad you decided to do this.

No matter what he says,
I'm not helping him.

I'm not asking you to,
all right?

I'm just asking you
to talk to him.

Hey.

It's been 17 years
for him as well.

My guess is you're not
the only one

who's thought about this.

And if he hasn't?

Well, then, we leave.

We never come back.

Yeah.

Can I help you?

My name is Miles Finer.

I think it's time
we finally talk.

I always knew
this day would come, but...

Now that it's here, I...

I don't really know
where to begin.

Miles.

Tomorrow will be 17 years...

Since you took my mother
from me.

Do you know that?

Does that day
mean anything to you?

Of course it does.

I don't think
about what happened

just one day a year.

I think about it every day.

You know she had
just beat cancer.

She had her whole life
ahead of her, and you stole it.

You know, nothing I can say
will ever make things right,

but clearly...

you came here looking
for answers, so anything

that you want to ask,
please go ahead.

Why did you get in that car
that night?

I've asked myself

that same question for 17 years,

and the answer is always
the same...

I don't know.

I'd just graduated
the Fire Academy.

Everyone was going out
to celebrate.

I thought I was totally fine
to drive home...

And obviously I wasn't.

I mean, I was a kid.

I was 18 years old...
And that's not an excuse.

No, it's...

you know, it was just a mistake.

Things...

weren't supposed
to turn out like this.

That's why you're reapplying
to the Academy.

Hoping for a second chance.

Yeah, ever since I was
a little kid, I always wanted

to be a firefighter.

But instead of saving lives...

I ended up taking one.

I'm sorry, Miles.

I'm truly sorry.

Sweetie? I'm home.

Got out of work early,
figured I'd surprise you.

Hi.

I didn't know you had company.

Hi, I'm Angela.

I'm Charles' fiancée.

So weird, I'm still not used
to saying that.

I'm Cara.

- Miles.
- Hey.

So, how do you guys
know Charles?

They're just old friends.

Listen, do you mind...
Whoa, um, I'm sorry.

She doesn't know, does she?

- Know what?
- Um...

- Unbelievable.
- Miles, please.

No, we're not friends.

We're anything but.

II don't understand.

So how do you know each other?

He killed my mom.

Charles?

What is he talking about?

I can explain, okay?

Um...

it was a long time ago.

I had too much to drink,
I got behind the wheel

- of a car...
- My God.

Did you go to jail?

Yes.

Were you ever gonna tell me?

I'm glad I found out now.

Miles.

Miles, slow down.

Miles, talk to me.

Look, I'm not apologizing, okay?

He doesn't get
to ignore the past

as if it never happened.

I'm not saying he does,
and I'm not defending him,

but he didn't strike me
as the kind of guy

who wants to ignore the past.

Then why did he lie
to his fiancé?

I don't know, okay?

But walking away now
is not gonna fix anything.

You think I care about
making his life better?

He does not deserve
a second chance.

I'm not talking
about him, Miles.

I was talking about you.

Look, I know how hard
this must be...

But this isn't you, Miles.

You see the good in people

even when others can't.

If you don't face this now,
you are gonna be

running forever.

You wanted me to come down here.

I came.

I'm done.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hey.

Sorry to just drop by.

I know what today means to you.

You got a second?
Yeah, is everything okay?

I don't know. I don't know.

I kept digging into
Charles Cole,

hoping I could find
something in his life

that would help me complete
the Fibonacci Spiral...

I'm guessing by the tone
of your voice

and your inability to keep still

you found something.

I did, um, but it's not
what I was expecting.

So we know Charles is reapplying

for the Fire Academy, um,
but it's not his first time.

- So?
- So, about seven years ago

he applied, and since he had
a felony, he had to go

before a board and...
I mean, ultimately

he didn't get in, but...

he got pretty close
thanks to a, recommendation

from a prominent member
of the community.

Who?

Your dad.

We need to talk.

Miles, what's wrong?

I know what you did
for Charles Cole.

- Miles...
- No, no!

How can you help the man
that killed your wife?

About a year
after your mother died,

I went to see him in prison.

I need to look into his eyes

and have him do the same,
and what I saw

was a man full of regret,
full of sorrow,

a man who made a mistake
and paid for it,

and when he was released,
he wanted to volunteer

his services to give back,

and so I supported him,
because it was

the right thing to do.

If it was the right thing
to do, why lie to me about it?

Because you weren't ready
to hear the truth.

You were so angry,
and whether you know it or not,

you still are.

Yeah, yeah, I still am,

but the real question is,
why aren't you?

When your mother
first got sick...

we had to prepare for the worst
as we were praying

for the best, which meant
having conversations...

about the end.

What we would say to you

and your sister.

The one comfort I had

was knowing that we would
be able to say our goodbyes.

But you never got to.
None of us did.

You asked why I am not angry.

I was.

For a very long time.

I was the one in the car
the night she died.

I held her in my arms

when she took her last breath,

when she closed her eyes
for the last time,

so you're damn right
I was angry,

until one morning I woke up
and realized, "I want"

"to remember my wife with love,

with awith a smile,"

and I couldn't do that
if I was carrying around

all that anger.
I had to let it go,

and the only way to do that

was to forgive Charles Cole.

No, Dad, you forgave him

because your faith told you to.

No, I forgave him

because that's what your mother

would have done.

I forgave him because that's

what I needed to do.

Look...

Your sister said that
the God Account

sent you his name.

I think that's for a reason.

It's time for you...

to let go, son,

because if you don't...

you will never be able
to move forward.

What are you doing here?

Um...

I was hoping to speak
with you and Charles.

Charles isn't here.

Do you mind if I come in?

The engagement's off.

I'm sorry.

I know how difficult
it must have been to find out

something like that.

But it was 17 years ago.

Are you sure you just want
to end things?

I'm not the one who ended it.

After you
and your friend Miles left...

I told Charles
that I was hurt...

that he'd kept something
like that from me,

but that at the end of the day,
I wanted to work through it.

What did he say?

That he still loved me,

but we shouldn't get married.

Why?

He said...

I would see him differently

knowing what he'd done,

and I told him that wasn't true,

but he didn't believe me.

He packed a bag and left.

Hey.

How did you find me?

Actually,
Rakesh tracked your location

using Find Friends.

What are you doing down here?

Um...

Charles broke off
his engagement to Angela.

He said that she would
see him differently

from now on
knowing about his past.

You think he's right?

I don't know.

My father thinks
I'm still holding on

to my anger over losing my mom,

that...

if I don't let go,

I'll never be able to move on.

I'll never be able
to remember her...

without feeling this way.

What do you think?

That even if he's right...

I don't know how to let it go,

or if I can.

You know what scared me the most

about reconnecting with my mom?

It was knowing that
if I forgave her,

I would have to let go

of all of that anger
that I carried around with me.

And if I did...

I might not know
who I was anymore.

Wouldn't know
what to replace it with.

And for a long time...

that scared me more
than holding onto it.

How'd you get through it?

You.

Miles, you helped me through it.

Everything we've been doing
with the God Account...

That replaced all of it.

Well, thank you for always
being honest with me.

About that.

Um...

I got that promotion.

You did?

Well, hey, why didn't you
tell me?

Well...

'cause it would take me away
from these stories

and all the people
we've been helping.

So...

you think you've got
one more story in you?

Are you saying you want
to help Charles Cole?

I think it's time
that I stopped running away

from the past.

But...

I can't do that without you.

Well, you don't have to.

Did Angela have an idea
of where Charles might be?

No.

Too bad there's no
"Find Friend Suggestions" app.

Actually...

we may have something better.

So what are we looking for?

Some place from Charles' past
that might be important.

Somewhere along the Spiral
he might be at.

What about Crowley's Bar?

It's where Charles went
that night after he graduated

from the Academy.

Okay.

"Crowley's Bar."

Address is...

Guys, this bar is practically

in the center of the Spiral.

You mind if I go alone?

Hey, isis everyone okay?

I don't know.
Fire department's on its way.

Charles!

Hey, hey, what are you
doing here?

I was down the street
when I saw the fire.

There's two people
trapped inside.

We don't have time to wait.
Okay, let's go.

Stay close.

Hello, is anyone there?

Somebody help, please!

Somebody help!

Please wake up, Mom! Stand back.

Mom, wake up!

I've got her, go!

Okay. Hey.

Okay, I got you.
It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

- My God!
- Guys...

You okay?

Help.

Just put her down here.

Miss?

Miss, can you hear me?

Okay, buddy.

Come on.

It's okay.

- Everyone okay?
- Yeah.

Apparently one of the tenants
left their stove on.

Luckily the fire was contained.
Yeah.

Can you just give us a minute?

What are you doing
down here, Miles?

I was on my way
to Crowley's Bar,

hoping to find you.

I haven't been back
to that place since the night

of the accident,

and I haven't had a drink
since that night,

but...

I don't know, today of all days,

I somehow just found myself

standing outside of it,

and before I could head in,
I saw the fire and I knew

I had to do something,

no matter what the consequences.

I know about Angela.

You broke things off with her.

I...

I'm sorry.

Not your fault.

It was gonna happen eventually.

What do you mean?

Well, after I got out
of prison...

most of my friends didn't want
to have anything to do with me.

I didn't blame them,

and over the years
I've only had a handful

of serious relationships...

and each time, I would
tell them what happened.

You know, what I did,
because I never wanted

to hide it,

but inevitably...

we would grow apart.

Things would end.

That's why you didn't
tell Angela.

I wanted to.

Kept on telling myself
that I would and I never did.

I guess I just didn't want her
to look at me

the same way everyone else does
when they find out.

Maybe she won't.

Maybe those relationships

didn't end because
they pushed you away

after they found out.

Maybe they ended
because you pushed them away.

No matter what happens
with the Academy...

Whether you get in
or you don't...

Your life moving forward
belongs with Angela.

You need to let go of the past...

Of the life you lost...
And start living

the life you have.

It's time both of us do.

When I was eight years old,
my mother died

in a car accident...

and until recently, I assumed

that was the defining moment
in my life.

I didn't realize
the real moment would come

17 years later.

We usually think
of second chances

as a way to move on,

move forward.

I'm sorry.

But I think second chances

are about acceptance.

That's why they're so rare.

Because accepting who you are

and what you really want

isn't as easy
as we like to think.

I just read your piece
about the firefighter.

It was excellent,

a nice way to end that series.

Thanks.

Good luck in features.

But more often than not,

it brings us to the place

we should have been coming to
all along.

I'm glad you're here.

Me, too.

I helped Charles Cole.

Mind me asking...

what changed your mind?

You did.

I want to remember her
the same way you do.

I want to remember
how lucky I was

that she was my mom...

Even if only for a short time.

I know that's what
she would have wanted.

Dad, can I ask you something?

What would you have said
to her if you had

gotten the chance?

Thank you...

for loving me.

I knew I should have waited
to put on my mascara.

I visited my mom

with my dad and Ali yesterday.

How was it?

It was actually nice.

It's good you went.

It was exactly where I needed
to be.

Too bad you're no longer
writing about the God Account.

It won't be long
until we find Falken.

Yeah, um, about that.

I sort of turned down the job.

What? Why?

In these last few months,

I've finally figured out
who I want to be

and how I'm gonna get there...

and I'm not willing
to trade that for anything.

I'm glad,
'cause doing this without you

would not be the same,

but I am still buying you
the drink

for getting the promotion,

even if you turned it down.

Unless you have plans with Eli.

Yeah, about that, too.

We kind of broke up.

What happened?

He wasn't the one.

Miles!

Miles!

Rakesh.

- Bro, is everything okay?
- It's better than okay.

Um, I found Falken.

Wait, you did? How?

So the address of the fire
was 55144th Street,

and the next number
in the Fibonacci Sequence

is 89.

So I looked up 89144th Street,

and guess who owns the place?

- Who?
- Bill and Lila Chase,

Henry's parents.

It was his childhood home.

Should we knock, or...?

It's unlocked.

It looks like no one's
lived here in years.

Hello, Miles.

- Pria?
- Wait, you lied to us?

Had to know I could trust you.

Are you Falken?

It's time you knew the truth.

Greg, move your head.

I have an idea!
