Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01.349 --> 00:00:02.369
Previously on
"God Friended Me"...
2
00:00:02.393 --> 00:00:03.481
I got a good friend,
3
00:00:03.525 --> 00:00:04.981
teaches marketing over at Harlem College.
4
00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:06.615
You should take his class.
5
00:00:06.658 --> 00:00:09.618
- You're DJ Trek?
- I also go by Nia.
6
00:00:09.661 --> 00:00:11.141
It's Eli.
7
00:00:11.185 --> 00:00:12.664
You gonna give him another shot?
8
00:00:12.708 --> 00:00:16.451
I don't know.
Not sure what to do.
9
00:00:16.494 --> 00:00:19.541
The Blue Danube
has a house band.
10
00:00:19.584 --> 00:00:21.673
We could meet here
and walk over.
11
00:00:21.717 --> 00:00:23.675
Yes.
12
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:25.610
That's the piece of the
God Account code I sent you.
13
00:00:25.634 --> 00:00:27.568
You want to find Falken?
Post it on the internet,
14
00:00:27.592 --> 00:00:29.768
lure him out of whatever hole
he's been hiding in.
15
00:00:29.812 --> 00:00:31.640
Make him come to us.
16
00:00:34.295 --> 00:00:36.360
New York City,
17
00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:39.390
the most diverse city
in the world,
18
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:41.410
but in a time where
technology and faith
19
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.522
have collided instead of
providing a way for us
20
00:00:44.566 --> 00:00:47.395
to share our ideas
and our beliefs,
21
00:00:47.438 --> 00:00:51.510
we're left feeling
more disconnected than ever.
22
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:54.228
That's why my podcast
is so relevant.
23
00:00:54.271 --> 00:00:58.580
The Millennial Prophet
is a podcast destination
24
00:00:58.101 --> 00:01:00.886
for those looking to bridge
the divide
25
00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:04.281
between believer
and non-believer.
26
00:01:04.325 --> 00:01:06.892
Thank you, Miles.
27
00:01:06.936 --> 00:01:11.270
Your assignment this week is
to perfect your elevator pitch.
28
00:01:11.710 --> 00:01:12.811
Now turn to the person next
to you,
29
00:01:12.855 --> 00:01:14.740
and this is your new partner.
30
00:01:14.117 --> 00:01:15.597
I want you to familiarize
yourself
31
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.556
with each other's products
and give productive feedback.
32
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:22.169
See you next week.
33
00:01:22.212 --> 00:01:25.302
Hi, partner.
34
00:01:25.346 --> 00:01:28.784
I'll send you a link
to my podcast
35
00:01:28.827 --> 00:01:30.960
so you can listen to a few
episodes before we meet.
36
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.310
I've already listened.
I like it.
37
00:01:33.354 --> 00:01:35.332
You've a voice, Miles.
I think it's gonna catch on.
38
00:01:35.356 --> 00:01:37.314
Wow, thanks.
39
00:01:37.358 --> 00:01:40.187
I did have one question about
your podcast.
40
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.493
This God Account you talk about,
41
00:01:42.537 --> 00:01:43.842
is that for real?
42
00:01:43.886 --> 00:01:46.541
The account, yes. God, no.
43
00:01:46.584 --> 00:01:49.210
So when you get
a Friend Suggestion,
44
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:51.328
you have to figure out
how to help them?
45
00:01:51.372 --> 00:01:53.690
Yeah, and it's not easy.
46
00:01:55.245 --> 00:01:58.335
Here we go.
47
00:01:58.379 --> 00:01:59.554
Wait.
48
00:01:59.597 --> 00:02:01.164
Are you messing with me?
49
00:02:01.208 --> 00:02:02.576
No, they send me
a Friend Suggestion
50
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:04.167
when I'm talking about them,
51
00:02:04.211 --> 00:02:05.951
they're probably
listening to us right now.
52
00:02:05.995 --> 00:02:07.605
Yeah, it's 2018,
53
00:02:07.649 --> 00:02:09.172
our phones are listening
to all of us.
54
00:02:11.218 --> 00:02:13.307
So how are you going to find
this Blair Lewis?
55
00:02:13.350 --> 00:02:15.178
I have no clue.
56
00:02:15.222 --> 00:02:17.267
Excuse me,
can you hold the elevator?
57
00:02:21.663 --> 00:02:23.404
Thanks.
58
00:02:25.101 --> 00:02:27.277
No worries.
59
00:02:29.149 --> 00:02:31.281
Having a good day?
60
00:02:31.325 --> 00:02:34.589
For a human beach ball,
it's as good as it gets.
61
00:02:34.632 --> 00:02:36.250
You?
62
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.462
- So far, so good.
- All right.
63
00:02:40.682 --> 00:02:42.901
- I take that back.
- What's happening?
64
00:02:42.945 --> 00:02:44.468
I think the elevator stalled.
65
00:02:44.512 --> 00:02:47.776
It's okay. I'll call security.
66
00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:49.212
I think it's broken.
67
00:02:49.256 --> 00:02:51.388
We're stuck and nobody knows
we're in here.
68
00:02:51.432 --> 00:02:52.998
We got to get out of here now.
69
00:02:53.420 --> 00:02:56.219
Don't worry, I'll call 911.
70
00:02:56.263 --> 00:02:57.438
But there's no service.
71
00:02:57.481 --> 00:02:59.831
Hey. Hey! We're stuck in here!
72
00:02:59.875 --> 00:03:02.269
Can someone please call
the fire department?
73
00:03:06.273 --> 00:03:08.231
My doctor told me
not to put myself
74
00:03:08.275 --> 00:03:09.928
in stressful situations.
75
00:03:09.972 --> 00:03:12.322
It can induce labor,
and my baby is breech.
76
00:03:12.366 --> 00:03:14.281
I can only deliver by c-section.
77
00:03:14.324 --> 00:03:16.239
Okay. Look at me.
78
00:03:16.283 --> 00:03:18.415
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me,
79
00:03:18.459 --> 00:03:20.287
My name is Miles. This is Nia,
80
00:03:20.330 --> 00:03:22.158
and we're here with you.
81
00:03:22.202 --> 00:03:24.116
It's gonna be okay.
82
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.248
I'm Blair.
83
00:03:25.292 --> 00:03:27.424
So have you picked a name yet?
84
00:03:27.468 --> 00:03:31.820
No, I'm hoping I'll be
inspired when he arrives.
85
00:03:31.863 --> 00:03:34.649
Mymy mom didn't have a
name before I was born either.
86
00:03:34.692 --> 00:03:36.433
She said that
87
00:03:36.477 --> 00:03:40.132
a name is a mother's
first gift to her child,
88
00:03:40.176 --> 00:03:43.614
so she wanted it to have
a very special meaning.
89
00:03:43.658 --> 00:03:46.443
So when I was born,
my mother looked at me
90
00:03:46.487 --> 00:03:48.271
and saw the face of my father
91
00:03:48.315 --> 00:03:51.187
and she saw the face
of her father,
92
00:03:51.231 --> 00:03:54.321
both of whom marched
on Washington and Selma
93
00:03:54.364 --> 00:03:56.236
for equality.
94
00:03:56.279 --> 00:03:58.586
My mother never wanted me
to forget
95
00:03:58.629 --> 00:04:02.154
the miles and miles that
my father and my grandfather
96
00:04:02.198 --> 00:04:05.332
walked for my Civil Rights.
97
00:04:05.375 --> 00:04:08.509
That's beautiful, Miles.
98
00:04:09.988 --> 00:04:11.729
You okay?
99
00:04:11.773 --> 00:04:14.360
I think I am.
100
00:04:15.472 --> 00:04:18.830
Thank God.
101
00:04:24.873 --> 00:04:26.440
Who knows what would
have happened
102
00:04:26.483 --> 00:04:28.616
if you two hadn't been there
to talk me down?
103
00:04:28.659 --> 00:04:31.619
Thank you, guys. I owe you one.
104
00:04:31.662 --> 00:04:32.663
I'm glad we could help.
105
00:04:32.707 --> 00:04:34.883
You sure did.
106
00:04:36.450 --> 00:04:40.758
Thank you, Miles.
Thank you, Nia.
107
00:04:40.802 --> 00:04:42.412
Talk about
a great elevator pitch.
108
00:04:42.456 --> 00:04:44.371
You knew exactly
how to help her.
109
00:04:44.414 --> 00:04:47.199
So that's it?
Just on to the next one?
110
00:04:47.243 --> 00:04:48.873
Usually I'll get another
Friend Suggestion
111
00:04:48.897 --> 00:04:50.638
to let me know that my work
here is done.
112
00:04:52.335 --> 00:04:54.772
Um...
113
00:04:54.816 --> 00:04:58.515
kind of like this.
114
00:04:58.559 --> 00:05:01.257
But it usually doesn't
happen this fast.
115
00:05:01.301 --> 00:05:04.260
Well, Miles, looks like
you're gonna have a busy day.
116
00:05:11.930 --> 00:05:12.703
Morning.
117
00:05:21.590 --> 00:05:23.497
Morning.
118
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:31.853
What?
119
00:05:31.896 --> 00:05:34.290
I have to meet someone
about a story.
120
00:05:34.334 --> 00:05:37.750
Let me guess. Miles?
121
00:05:37.119 --> 00:05:38.686
Great guess.
122
00:05:38.729 --> 00:05:42.820
Have you told him we're dating?
123
00:05:42.864 --> 00:05:44.387
No.
124
00:05:44.431 --> 00:05:47.390
I mean, this just happened.
125
00:05:47.434 --> 00:05:49.218
Miles and I are just friends,
126
00:05:49.261 --> 00:05:52.264
but you're right.
I should tell him.
127
00:05:55.398 --> 00:05:57.357
We send out a piece of
the God Account's code
128
00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.228
hoping to lure out Falken,
129
00:05:59.271 --> 00:06:02.405
and instead we got every
nut job on the Dark Web
130
00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:04.755
claiming to actually be Falken.
131
00:06:04.799 --> 00:06:06.104
Can you blame them?
132
00:06:06.148 --> 00:06:07.647
Falken's been an urban legend
for almost a decade.
133
00:06:07.671 --> 00:06:10.239
Nobody knows who he really is,
beyond being a genius coder
134
00:06:10.282 --> 00:06:13.677
and a giant fan of the movie
"War Games."
135
00:06:13.721 --> 00:06:16.270
You ever read
his manifestos on AI
136
00:06:16.710 --> 00:06:17.657
that he posted when he first
appeared on the chat rooms?
137
00:06:17.681 --> 00:06:20.292
They are sublime.
138
00:06:20.336 --> 00:06:22.330
Wait. Wait. Wait.
139
00:06:22.770 --> 00:06:25.800
Gogo back up to that message
from FIBONACCI61.
140
00:06:25.123 --> 00:06:27.169
Fibonacci?
As in the mathematician.
141
00:06:27.212 --> 00:06:30.172
The God Account's
got a thing for Fibonacci.
142
00:06:30.215 --> 00:06:31.826
Open it.
143
00:06:31.869 --> 00:06:36.352
1,600, 400,
with coordinates to a location.
144
00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:46.318
It's for Strawberry Fields
in Central Park.
145
00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:51.454
The seed pattern on strawberries
146
00:06:51.498 --> 00:06:54.109
adhere to the Fibonacci
sequence.
147
00:06:54.152 --> 00:06:57.895
Whoever this is, they're legit.
148
00:06:59.244 --> 00:07:02.291
Wait, so you and a girl from
class saved a pregnant lady?
149
00:07:02.334 --> 00:07:04.293
No, no, no. We talked her down
150
00:07:04.336 --> 00:07:05.860
from having a panic attack
151
00:07:05.903 --> 00:07:07.992
and saved ourselves
from delivering her baby.
152
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:09.733
You made me come
all the way over here,
153
00:07:09.777 --> 00:07:13.128
and you've already helped
your Friend Suggestion?
154
00:07:13.171 --> 00:07:14.651
Okay, sorry, guys. Sorry.
155
00:07:14.695 --> 00:07:16.499
Lucy and I might have made
contact with someone
156
00:07:16.523 --> 00:07:18.263
who knows Falken.
157
00:07:18.307 --> 00:07:20.309
- No way. Who are they?
- I don't know.
158
00:07:20.352 --> 00:07:22.311
Justthey go by the username
159
00:07:22.354 --> 00:07:25.488
and they sent us coordinates
related to the sequence,
160
00:07:25.532 --> 00:07:28.317
and they want to meet later
this afternoon.
161
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.145
- Is it legit?
- Not sure.
162
00:07:30.188 --> 00:07:32.495
Let Lucy and me check
this one out first.
163
00:07:32.539 --> 00:07:35.237
I don't want to scare him off
with too many people.
164
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.152
Okay, well, I'm gonna head out,
165
00:07:37.195 --> 00:07:40.503
Unless there's anything else...
Actually, yeah, after Blair,
166
00:07:40.547 --> 00:07:42.287
I got a new Friend Suggestion,
167
00:07:42.331 --> 00:07:46.901
and this time I'm really not
sure how we can help.
168
00:07:46.944 --> 00:07:48.772
Come on. We always say that.
169
00:07:48.816 --> 00:07:52.167
How bad could their problem be?
170
00:07:54.865 --> 00:07:56.606
His name is Sal Thompkins,
171
00:07:56.650 --> 00:08:00.131
71, he was a divorce lawyer,
172
00:08:00.175 --> 00:08:04.614
and as of a month ago...
173
00:08:04.658 --> 00:08:08.270
he's dead.
174
00:08:08.313 --> 00:08:10.620
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
175
00:08:17.584 --> 00:08:22.230
How does the God account
expect me to help a dead guy?
176
00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:25.679
Well, think of this way...
You can't make it any worse.
177
00:08:25.722 --> 00:08:27.570
Maybe we're supposed to help
someone he left behind.
178
00:08:27.594 --> 00:08:29.730
Did he have any family?
179
00:08:29.117 --> 00:08:30.553
Nah, according to his obituary
180
00:08:30.597 --> 00:08:32.424
he had no surviving relatives.
181
00:08:32.468 --> 00:08:35.645
His wife died years ago.
182
00:08:35.689 --> 00:08:37.952
Then why send
the Friend Suggestion now?
183
00:08:37.995 --> 00:08:42.430
Guys, I think I know.
184
00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:45.394
His estate sale's today
at his brownstone in Brooklyn.
185
00:08:45.437 --> 00:08:47.400
Well, whatever's going on
186
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.181
it looks like the answer's
at Sal's brownstone.
187
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:56.753
I love estate sales.
188
00:08:56.797 --> 00:08:58.252
You guys ever seen
"Estate Sale Wars"?
189
00:08:58.276 --> 00:08:59.669
I am obsessed.
190
00:08:59.713 --> 00:09:01.149
You don't think it's weird,
191
00:09:01.192 --> 00:09:03.368
shopping for a dead person's
stuff?
192
00:09:03.412 --> 00:09:04.718
Absolutely not.
193
00:09:06.502 --> 00:09:08.156
- Nice paintings.
- Look around.
194
00:09:08.199 --> 00:09:10.854
There's no photos of his wife
or friends.
195
00:09:11.638 --> 00:09:13.509
So how do you know
what's for sale?
196
00:09:13.553 --> 00:09:15.511
Everything is for sale.
197
00:09:15.555 --> 00:09:17.818
- This fork is for sale?
- Yeah.
198
00:09:17.861 --> 00:09:19.515
- That lamp is for sale?
- Yeah.
199
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.865
- Can we focus?
- Okay.
200
00:09:21.909 --> 00:09:23.650
This a three-floor brownstone.
201
00:09:23.693 --> 00:09:24.955
We need to divide and conquer.
202
00:09:24.999 --> 00:09:26.653
There has to be something
in here
203
00:09:26.696 --> 00:09:28.742
that will tell us what
we're supposed to do for Sal.
204
00:09:28.785 --> 00:09:31.614
Hopefully,
we'll know it when we see it.
205
00:09:41.885 --> 00:09:44.496
Dad, I'm sure Trish will be
here soon.
206
00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:46.498
- I know.
- I thought detected
207
00:09:46.542 --> 00:09:47.630
some nerves.
208
00:09:47.674 --> 00:09:49.240
Why would I be nervous?
209
00:09:49.284 --> 00:09:51.250
Trish and I have gone out
on one date.
210
00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:52.635
It was a very nice time,
211
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.682
and so we are going
to go out again.
212
00:09:55.725 --> 00:09:58.249
It is as simple as that.
213
00:09:58.293 --> 00:10:00.770
Right.
214
00:10:00.121 --> 00:10:01.818
And there she is.
215
00:10:03.298 --> 00:10:06.693
Dad, she's a fox.
216
00:10:06.736 --> 00:10:08.738
- Trish.
- Hey, Arthur.
217
00:10:08.782 --> 00:10:10.653
- How are you?
- Good, how are you?
218
00:10:10.697 --> 00:10:12.133
Good to see you.
219
00:10:12.176 --> 00:10:15.353
I'd like you to meet
my daughter, Ali.
220
00:10:15.397 --> 00:10:16.877
I'm a hugger.
221
00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:18.705
I'm a hugger too.
222
00:10:18.748 --> 00:10:21.316
I'm so glad we're getting
to do this.
223
00:10:21.359 --> 00:10:23.666
Thank you.
224
00:10:23.710 --> 00:10:27.539
So your dad has told me so much
about you and Miles.
225
00:10:27.583 --> 00:10:29.672
Everything good I assume.
226
00:10:29.716 --> 00:10:33.458
I want to thank you so much
for fixing my dad's sax.
227
00:10:33.502 --> 00:10:35.896
You should hear him play.
He hasn't lost a step.
228
00:10:35.939 --> 00:10:37.854
I don't know
that I would go that far.
229
00:10:37.898 --> 00:10:40.740
I keep telling him he needs
to get out and play.
230
00:10:40.117 --> 00:10:41.597
I mean, don't they have
231
00:10:41.641 --> 00:10:42.922
those open mic nights
for musicians?
232
00:10:42.946 --> 00:10:45.166
They do, and, in fact,
233
00:10:45.209 --> 00:10:47.370
my friend who runs
the Blue Danube,
234
00:10:47.810 --> 00:10:48.735
he puts one on every
Saturday night.
235
00:10:48.778 --> 00:10:51.868
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
that is tomorrow night.
236
00:10:51.912 --> 00:10:54.523
- That would be so much fun.
- No.
237
00:10:54.566 --> 00:10:56.699
Arthur, this is so low key.
238
00:10:56.743 --> 00:10:59.528
We could pack the house with
family and friends.
239
00:11:02.749 --> 00:11:05.577
I would really love
to hear you play.
240
00:11:11.583 --> 00:11:12.933
Sure, why not?
241
00:11:12.976 --> 00:11:14.761
Yes.
242
00:11:18.765 --> 00:11:23.508
So how did your date
with Eli go, by the way?
243
00:11:23.552 --> 00:11:26.294
Yeah, it went well.
244
00:11:26.337 --> 00:11:27.817
You gonna see him again?
245
00:11:27.861 --> 00:11:30.341
Yeah, well, I mean, probably.
246
00:11:30.385 --> 00:11:32.300
Cool.
247
00:11:32.343 --> 00:11:33.954
Hey, you guys find anything?
248
00:11:33.997 --> 00:11:36.347
Not yet.
249
00:11:40.221 --> 00:11:41.962
What?
250
00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:45.530
My dad has this same desk
in his office at the church.
251
00:11:45.574 --> 00:11:48.577
It's the only thing in
the entire house not for sale.
252
00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.380
You guys think the God
Account sent us here
253
00:11:50.405 --> 00:11:51.580
to find this deck?
254
00:11:51.623 --> 00:11:53.147
It's possible.
255
00:11:53.190 --> 00:11:55.236
Look at this.
256
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.673
"To Alfie."
257
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.809
Looks like a younger version
of Sal.
258
00:12:02.852 --> 00:12:05.376
The kid must be Alfie.
259
00:12:05.420 --> 00:12:08.466
Sal's obituary didn't mention
anything about him having kids.
260
00:12:10.512 --> 00:12:12.557
Matthew 621.
261
00:12:12.601 --> 00:12:14.429
That's a Bible verse.
262
00:12:14.472 --> 00:12:17.911
"For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also."
263
00:12:17.954 --> 00:12:19.913
Wait, treasure? So, what,
264
00:12:19.956 --> 00:12:22.200
Sal left behind a clue
to a treasure hunt?
265
00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:25.179
I don't know, but this is
the only personal thing
266
00:12:25.222 --> 00:12:26.789
in Sal's entire house.
267
00:12:26.833 --> 00:12:28.399
Plus, he kept it safe.
268
00:12:28.443 --> 00:12:31.540
This has to be what the God
account sent us here for.
269
00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.969
Hello, I'm in charge
of the estate sale.
270
00:12:33.130 --> 00:12:34.884
Can I help you?
271
00:12:34.928 --> 00:12:37.170
Actually, yes.
272
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.671
Do you know who Alfie is?
273
00:12:39.715 --> 00:12:42.413
He was Mr. Thompkin's stepson.
274
00:12:42.457 --> 00:12:43.850
This desk was left to him,
275
00:12:43.893 --> 00:12:46.983
but when I contacted him,
he declined to accept it.
276
00:12:47.270 --> 00:12:50.595
I got the impression
they were estranged.
277
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.728
Probably why he wasn't listed
in the obituary.
278
00:12:52.772 --> 00:12:54.861
Any chance you can give us
Alfie's information?
279
00:12:54.904 --> 00:12:57.370
Sorry, I'm not permitted
to give that out,
280
00:12:57.800 --> 00:12:59.604
but let me know if you'd like
to purchase the desk.
281
00:12:59.648 --> 00:13:02.520
No reason to hold on to
it any longer.
282
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.890
Whatever the God Account
wants us to do for Sal,
283
00:13:06.133 --> 00:13:08.831
it must have to do with
his stepson.
284
00:13:08.875 --> 00:13:10.180
We need to find Alfie.
285
00:13:10.224 --> 00:13:12.748
All right, well,
let me know how it goes.
286
00:13:12.792 --> 00:13:15.316
I kind of have a FaceTime date
with Jaya,
287
00:13:15.359 --> 00:13:17.927
get camera ready.
288
00:13:17.971 --> 00:13:20.190
Don't judge me.
289
00:13:23.106 --> 00:13:25.239
You think Rakesh could be
right about the verse?
290
00:13:25.282 --> 00:13:27.197
This is about some treasure
hunt for something.
291
00:13:27.241 --> 00:13:28.720
Sal left for his step-son?
292
00:13:28.764 --> 00:13:30.505
Well, maybe.
We just need to find Alfie.
293
00:13:30.548 --> 00:13:32.289
Question is how.
294
00:13:32.333 --> 00:13:33.745
I mean, I looked up
Alfie Thompkins online.
295
00:13:33.769 --> 00:13:36.685
I didn't find anything.
296
00:13:36.728 --> 00:13:39.427
You know, his mother's maiden
name was Collins.
297
00:13:39.470 --> 00:13:40.863
Maybe he goes by that.
298
00:13:40.907 --> 00:13:42.560
Great. I'll run his name through
299
00:13:42.604 --> 00:13:45.868
the IdentitySeal system,
see if we get a match.
300
00:13:45.912 --> 00:13:47.870
Miles, don't bother.
301
00:13:47.914 --> 00:13:50.699
- What do you mean?
- Look.
302
00:14:05.583 --> 00:14:07.324
Your honor,
Alfie Collins on behalf
303
00:14:07.368 --> 00:14:09.326
of the plaintiff, Mr. Joe Ellis.
304
00:14:09.370 --> 00:14:11.633
We're seeking damages
in the amount of $50,000
305
00:14:11.676 --> 00:14:13.504
that stem from
a debilitating injury
306
00:14:13.548 --> 00:14:15.724
he suffered after falling
in a City Foods Market.
307
00:14:15.767 --> 00:14:17.334
Thank you, Counsel.
308
00:14:17.378 --> 00:14:20.860
This matter is set for trial
next Tuesday at 900 a.m.
309
00:14:22.949 --> 00:14:24.230
They're gonna try
to settle at 25.
310
00:14:24.254 --> 00:14:25.690
We'll meet 'em in the middle.
311
00:14:25.734 --> 00:14:27.910
Get ready for
a nice payday, pal.
312
00:14:31.392 --> 00:14:33.481
- Alfie Collins.
- Yes.
313
00:14:33.524 --> 00:14:35.570
Miles Finer. This is Cara Bloom.
314
00:14:35.613 --> 00:14:37.500
We called earlier.
315
00:14:37.930 --> 00:14:39.922
Right, said you're
looking for an attorney?
316
00:14:39.966 --> 00:14:41.315
Not exactly.
317
00:14:41.358 --> 00:14:42.925
We were hoping to speak with you
318
00:14:42.969 --> 00:14:46.590
about your stepfather,
Sal Thompkins.
319
00:14:46.102 --> 00:14:48.610
I told his estate
I didn't want anything.
320
00:14:48.104 --> 00:14:50.190
We're not actually
with his estate.
321
00:14:50.630 --> 00:14:53.370
We found this photo of you two.
322
00:14:53.414 --> 00:14:58.810
Do you know why he wrote
Matthew 621 on the back?
323
00:14:58.854 --> 00:15:00.595
What?
324
00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:11.475
Where did you get this?
325
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.348
I haven't seen this photograph
in probably 20 years.
326
00:15:14.391 --> 00:15:17.699
Any idea why he wanted
you to have it?
327
00:15:17.742 --> 00:15:20.963
No, Sal wasn't exactly
sentimental,
328
00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:23.270
least not towards to me.
329
00:15:23.313 --> 00:15:25.315
He reached out a few times
before he died,
330
00:15:25.359 --> 00:15:26.534
but I didn't return his call.
331
00:15:26.577 --> 00:15:27.796
Well, maybe that's what
332
00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:29.798
he was calling
to talk to you about,
333
00:15:29.841 --> 00:15:32.975
to explain why he left
the photo.
334
00:15:33.190 --> 00:15:34.934
What does it matter?
335
00:15:38.938 --> 00:15:40.852
Look.
336
00:15:40.896 --> 00:15:42.202
My dad died when I was two.
337
00:15:42.245 --> 00:15:44.813
My mom remarried Sal
when I was around eight.
338
00:15:44.856 --> 00:15:46.597
He tried to be a father
to me at first,
339
00:15:46.641 --> 00:15:48.599
but I don't think
he ever wanted kids.
340
00:15:48.643 --> 00:15:50.340
Well, why do you say that?
341
00:15:50.384 --> 00:15:51.883
He and my mom had only been
married a few years,
342
00:15:51.907 --> 00:15:53.648
and then she died
343
00:15:53.691 --> 00:15:56.520
and whatever relationship
I had with Sal died with her.
344
00:15:56.564 --> 00:15:58.000
He sent me off
to boarding school,
345
00:15:58.440 --> 00:15:59.871
and we'd only talk when
I needed something,
346
00:15:59.915 --> 00:16:02.352
or when I got into trouble
and he'd send a check.
347
00:16:02.396 --> 00:16:04.930
I never wanted his money.
348
00:16:04.137 --> 00:16:06.661
Worked my ass off to be twice
the lawyer that he ever was.
349
00:16:06.704 --> 00:16:09.620
Soon as I could support myself,
never saw him again.
350
00:16:09.664 --> 00:16:11.971
And now...
351
00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:14.843
I never will.
352
00:16:14.886 --> 00:16:17.977
How did you know him?
353
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.220
About that.
354
00:16:20.660 --> 00:16:25.270
We were sent a Friend
Suggestion on Facebook for Sal
355
00:16:25.710 --> 00:16:27.899
from someone calling
themselves God.
356
00:16:29.466 --> 00:16:32.643
Okay, really wish you would
have lead with that.
357
00:16:32.687 --> 00:16:34.360
Think we're done here.
358
00:16:34.800 --> 00:16:35.820
Look, obviously it's not God.
359
00:16:35.864 --> 00:16:37.561
Okay,
but there is someone out there
360
00:16:37.605 --> 00:16:39.955
sending me Suggestions
for people who need help.
361
00:16:39.999 --> 00:16:43.263
Trust me, I get how it sounds,
362
00:16:43.306 --> 00:16:46.500
but the account
hasn't been wrong once.
363
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.199
Well, then this is the first,
364
00:16:47.223 --> 00:16:49.225
because you can't help
a dead guy.
365
00:16:51.401 --> 00:16:53.838
I see, you're here to help me.
366
00:16:53.882 --> 00:16:56.580
Is that it?
Make my peace with Sal?
367
00:16:56.102 --> 00:16:59.366
Let me save you the trouble.
I'm at peace.
368
00:16:59.409 --> 00:17:03.283
He wrote the name of
a Bible verse about treasure
369
00:17:03.326 --> 00:17:05.807
on the back of this picture.
370
00:17:05.850 --> 00:17:07.200
Isn't it possible
he left you something
371
00:17:07.260 --> 00:17:08.592
that he wants you to have?
372
00:17:08.636 --> 00:17:11.160
What difference
is it gonna make now?
373
00:17:11.204 --> 00:17:13.510
He didn't want anything to do
with me when he was alive.
374
00:17:13.750 --> 00:17:14.903
Why should I want anything
to do with him
375
00:17:14.946 --> 00:17:18.800
now that he's dead?
376
00:17:18.124 --> 00:17:21.830
Nice meeting you.
377
00:17:26.450 --> 00:17:28.699
Sounds like Sal shut down
after Alfie's mom died.
378
00:17:28.743 --> 00:17:31.876
Yeah, I mean, my dad did
the same thing after my mom.
379
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.332
You know,
he vanished into the church,
380
00:17:33.356 --> 00:17:35.706
and for a long time
I hated him for that.
381
00:17:35.750 --> 00:17:37.249
Well,
you guys are better now, right?
382
00:17:37.273 --> 00:17:39.710
Yeah, yeah, much,
but it took us a long time
383
00:17:39.754 --> 00:17:43.671
to realize that the past
is in the past for a reason.
384
00:17:43.714 --> 00:17:46.195
Speaking of my dad,
Ali texted me
385
00:17:46.239 --> 00:17:48.110
and said that
he's playing the sax
386
00:17:48.154 --> 00:17:49.981
at the Blue Danube
tomorrow night.
387
00:17:50.250 --> 00:17:52.332
You should come. It'll be fun.
388
00:17:52.375 --> 00:17:54.682
Yeah, yeah, sounds great.
389
00:17:54.725 --> 00:17:56.466
Should bring Eli.
390
00:17:56.510 --> 00:17:59.121
Thanks,
but he actually has plans.
391
00:18:01.471 --> 00:18:03.560
So the God Account, you know,
392
00:18:03.604 --> 00:18:05.736
they send us Sal to help Alfie,
and then they point us
393
00:18:05.780 --> 00:18:08.261
in the direction of a
Bible verse about a treasure.
394
00:18:08.304 --> 00:18:10.890
Maybe that's the key?
395
00:18:10.132 --> 00:18:11.327
Right, but how are we
supposed to find it
396
00:18:11.351 --> 00:18:13.353
if Sal didn't leave any hint
of the location?
397
00:18:13.396 --> 00:18:15.877
Well, maybe he did.
What if the location
398
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.970
is where the photo was taken?
399
00:18:21.622 --> 00:18:23.972
Almost forgot, I'm...
400
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:26.235
I'm paired in this marketing
class I'm taking.
401
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.150
We're supposed to meet,
but I can cancel.
402
00:18:28.194 --> 00:18:29.388
No, no, no,
don't worry about it.
403
00:18:29.412 --> 00:18:31.129
I'll call Rakesh.
We'll look into the photo,
404
00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:32.807
and I'll text you
if we find anything.
405
00:18:32.850 --> 00:18:35.114
Thanks.
406
00:18:35.157 --> 00:18:36.680
Nice set-up.
407
00:18:36.724 --> 00:18:38.682
Maybe I'll guest on
your podcast sometime.
408
00:18:38.726 --> 00:18:39.988
I don't know.
409
00:18:40.310 --> 00:18:43.165
I have a pretty rigorous
screening process.
410
00:18:43.209 --> 00:18:44.775
Really?
411
00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:47.820
I've heard you talk
to your turtle
412
00:18:47.126 --> 00:18:48.910
on more than one occasion.
413
00:18:48.953 --> 00:18:50.825
Okay, Neil deGrasse Turtle
has insight.
414
00:18:53.132 --> 00:18:56.744
Joining me today is my really
good friend, Nia.
415
00:18:56.787 --> 00:18:59.529
AKA DJ Trek.
416
00:18:59.573 --> 00:19:00.922
Nia, you should know
417
00:19:00.965 --> 00:19:04.186
from being such a huge,
huge fan of the podcast
418
00:19:04.230 --> 00:19:08.160
that the Millenial Prophet
is about creating a dialogue,
419
00:19:08.590 --> 00:19:09.931
sharing
our personal perspectives
420
00:19:09.974 --> 00:19:12.542
of how we arrived
at our beliefs.
421
00:19:12.586 --> 00:19:15.284
Okay.
422
00:19:15.328 --> 00:19:18.374
What about a survivor's
perspective?
423
00:19:18.418 --> 00:19:20.550
Survivor's?
424
00:19:20.594 --> 00:19:22.639
Leukemia.
425
00:19:22.683 --> 00:19:26.208
Diagnosed the day
after my 13th birthday.
426
00:19:26.252 --> 00:19:28.341
Spent a year in and out
of the hospital
427
00:19:28.384 --> 00:19:32.562
doing nothing
but listening to music.
428
00:19:32.606 --> 00:19:35.826
That's when I fell
in love with it.
429
00:19:35.870 --> 00:19:37.959
You're in remission?
430
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.136
11 years cancer free.
431
00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.920
But I don't thank God for that.
432
00:19:42.964 --> 00:19:44.574
I thank science
433
00:19:44.618 --> 00:19:48.665
and all the amazing doctors
and nurses I watched heal me.
434
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.366
You just earned yourself
435
00:19:53.409 --> 00:19:54.715
a spot on the Millenial Prophet.
436
00:19:54.758 --> 00:19:56.804
Now that is a very big deal.
437
00:19:56.847 --> 00:19:57.979
It's highly competitive.
438
00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:00.373
I'm honored,
439
00:20:00.416 --> 00:20:03.593
but I do have one question
for the host.
440
00:20:03.637 --> 00:20:05.421
Fire away.
441
00:20:05.465 --> 00:20:09.251
I was wondering what he was
doing tomorrow night.
442
00:20:13.255 --> 00:20:19.783
Actually, my dad is playing
sax at the Blue Danube.
443
00:20:19.827 --> 00:20:22.960
You should... you should come.
444
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.701
Like a date?
445
00:20:24.745 --> 00:20:28.488
Yeah, like a date.
446
00:20:28.531 --> 00:20:31.273
Kay, I'm running a location
match on the photo.
447
00:20:31.317 --> 00:20:32.883
Hopefully,
it won't take too long.
448
00:20:32.927 --> 00:20:35.146
- Thanks, Rakesh.
- Yeah.
449
00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:37.236
So you coming to the jazz club
tomorrow night?
450
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.411
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
451
00:20:38.454 --> 00:20:40.413
Bringing Eli?
Wanna meet this guy already.
452
00:20:40.456 --> 00:20:42.415
Yeah, I wasn't planning on it.
453
00:20:44.243 --> 00:20:48.682
I kind of told Miles
that Eli had other plans.
454
00:20:48.725 --> 00:20:52.294
The whole keeping
the worlds separate thing?
455
00:20:52.338 --> 00:20:54.209
- What?
- Yeah, no, I get it.
456
00:20:54.253 --> 00:20:55.515
Secret's safe with me.
457
00:20:55.558 --> 00:20:57.256
No, I'm not separating anything.
458
00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:59.519
That's not a thing.
Yeah, it is, Cara.
459
00:20:59.562 --> 00:21:03.870
You've got your world with Eli
where you go out for dinners
460
00:21:03.131 --> 00:21:05.612
and have romantic evenings
on rooftop gardens,
461
00:21:05.655 --> 00:21:08.490
and then you have
the God Account world
462
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.485
where you got Miles,
463
00:21:09.529 --> 00:21:11.950
where you go for adventures,
464
00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:12.967
where you get inspiration
for your articles.
465
00:21:13.100 --> 00:21:14.838
It's two worlds.
466
00:21:14.882 --> 00:21:17.885
Separate.
467
00:21:17.928 --> 00:21:19.669
It's not true.
468
00:21:19.713 --> 00:21:21.620
Not at all.
469
00:21:21.105 --> 00:21:22.498
Kay.
470
00:21:22.542 --> 00:21:25.109
Hey, bingo. We got a match.
471
00:21:25.153 --> 00:21:26.850
Looks like the photo was taken
472
00:21:26.894 --> 00:21:28.939
at the Marina
in Battery Park City.
473
00:21:28.983 --> 00:21:30.506
Great.
474
00:21:30.550 --> 00:21:32.290
All right, I got to go.
475
00:21:32.730 --> 00:21:34.310
Lucy and I are gonna go meet.
476
00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:37.340
Good luck.
477
00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:39.123
I'll see you.
478
00:21:54.950 --> 00:21:57.359
Might as well make
ourselves comfortable.
479
00:21:57.403 --> 00:21:58.969
23 minutes late.
480
00:21:59.130 --> 00:22:00.338
I'm beginning to think
he got cold feet.
481
00:22:00.362 --> 00:22:02.538
He isn't gonna show.
482
00:22:12.156 --> 00:22:14.550
No, my girlfriend.
483
00:22:14.594 --> 00:22:17.597
She canceled on a FaceTime date
with me earlier.
484
00:22:20.426 --> 00:22:23.167
You wanna talk about it?
485
00:22:24.821 --> 00:22:27.840
It's just the whole long
distance thing, you know?
486
00:22:27.128 --> 00:22:28.999
Like, I'm all about technology,
487
00:22:29.430 --> 00:22:31.915
but not as a conduit
for a relationship.
488
00:22:31.959 --> 00:22:33.900
Makes sense.
489
00:22:33.134 --> 00:22:35.500
What about you?
You seeing anyone?
490
00:22:36.659 --> 00:22:40.540
- Who has the time?
- Yeah.
491
00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:42.970
Speaking of which,
I'm thinking we should call it.
492
00:22:43.130 --> 00:22:46.160
Whoever sent that message
isn't coming.
493
00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:48.180
Kay.
494
00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:49.368
Looks like this photo was taken
495
00:22:49.411 --> 00:22:51.413
somewhere around here near
the Marina.
496
00:22:51.457 --> 00:22:54.242
Those lamp posts look similar.
497
00:22:56.462 --> 00:23:00.248
Hey, so, is it still cool
if I bring Eli tomorrow?
498
00:23:00.291 --> 00:23:03.330
His plans fell through.
499
00:23:03.770 --> 00:23:05.340
Yeah, yeah, of course,
why wouldn't it be?
500
00:23:05.384 --> 00:23:08.212
I don't know. I guess, um...
501
00:23:10.127 --> 00:23:13.957
Well, we're actually kind of
seeing each other,
502
00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:16.960
like, officially.
503
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:20.877
That's great.
No, I'm happy for you.
504
00:23:20.921 --> 00:23:23.358
Thanks.
505
00:23:23.402 --> 00:23:25.550
You know, you're actually
the one
506
00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:26.685
that gave me the confidence
to take a leap...
507
00:23:26.709 --> 00:23:28.102
You better not say of faith.
508
00:23:29.451 --> 00:23:31.235
I wouldn't dare.
509
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:37.416
Hey, it looks like the photo
was taken right here.
510
00:23:40.897 --> 00:23:43.117
I don't see anything.
511
00:23:45.750 --> 00:23:46.686
Maybe I was wrong.
512
00:23:46.729 --> 00:23:48.490
Maybe it's not about where
the photo was taken.
513
00:23:48.514 --> 00:23:50.429
No, no, no, no, you were right.
514
00:23:50.472 --> 00:23:51.865
Matthew wasn't a Bible verse.
515
00:23:51.908 --> 00:23:53.649
Look.
516
00:23:56.478 --> 00:23:58.132
That must be Sal's boat.
517
00:23:58.175 --> 00:24:01.701
Yeah, whatever we're looking
for must be inside.
518
00:24:12.233 --> 00:24:15.149
The paintings at the estate
sale were his.
519
00:24:15.192 --> 00:24:18.108
Sal was a painter.
520
00:24:20.763 --> 00:24:25.115
There must be something
that we're missing.
521
00:24:25.159 --> 00:24:27.204
It's safe.
522
00:24:27.248 --> 00:24:30.770
Wow. Looks like it needs
a 3-digit code.
523
00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:33.297
Matthew 621.
621 could be the code.
524
00:24:33.341 --> 00:24:34.341
Yeah, yeah, try it.
525
00:24:37.171 --> 00:24:38.564
Hello?
526
00:24:43.177 --> 00:24:46.963
What are you doing here?
527
00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:49.183
We could ask you the same thing.
528
00:24:49.226 --> 00:24:50.967
You lied to us
529
00:24:51.110 --> 00:24:52.554
about not knowing where
the picture was taken,
530
00:24:52.578 --> 00:24:54.144
about Matthew, all of it.
531
00:24:54.188 --> 00:24:55.842
Why?
532
00:24:55.885 --> 00:24:57.496
Because I don't know you,
533
00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:59.541
and you were claiming God
sent you.
534
00:24:59.585 --> 00:25:01.761
Why would I tell you anything?
535
00:25:01.804 --> 00:25:03.893
He has a point.
536
00:25:03.937 --> 00:25:06.156
You still think Sal left me
some kind of treasure?
537
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.288
Yes, we do.
538
00:25:07.331 --> 00:25:09.720
His safe has a 3-digit code
539
00:25:09.116 --> 00:25:10.746
just like the numbers on
the back of the picture.
540
00:25:10.770 --> 00:25:13.163
Well...
541
00:25:13.207 --> 00:25:16.166
what are you waiting for?
542
00:25:32.182 --> 00:25:35.185
It's a book.
543
00:25:37.623 --> 00:25:40.930
"A Day At Sea," written and
illustrated by Sal Thompkins.
544
00:25:40.974 --> 00:25:42.671
He wrote a children's book.
545
00:25:42.715 --> 00:25:44.543
- No way.
- Here.
546
00:25:44.586 --> 00:25:46.283
See for yourself.
547
00:25:49.243 --> 00:25:50.766
This doesn't make any sense.
548
00:25:50.810 --> 00:25:53.987
Why would Sal write
a children's book?
549
00:26:00.733 --> 00:26:03.257
Wait, wait, wait. Alfie, wait!
550
00:26:06.782 --> 00:26:09.829
Miles...
551
00:26:09.872 --> 00:26:12.500
you have to see this.
552
00:26:17.488 --> 00:26:20.579
"I love you."
553
00:26:31.372 --> 00:26:33.983
The story's about the father
Sal wished he could have been.
554
00:26:34.270 --> 00:26:36.290
All the things he wanted
to tell Alfie.
555
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:38.292
- He loved him.
- Well, you know,
556
00:26:38.335 --> 00:26:40.860
you'd think
that'd be good news for Alfie.
557
00:26:40.903 --> 00:26:43.297
Why would he take off?
558
00:26:44.690 --> 00:26:47.388
When you grow up thinking
a parent didn't love you,
559
00:26:47.431 --> 00:26:49.999
it kind of becomes a part of
who you are.
560
00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:52.785
I used the pain just like
Alfie did to motivate myself,
561
00:26:52.828 --> 00:26:55.400
prove myself.
562
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.399
Alfie said he became twice
the lawyer Sal was,
563
00:26:58.442 --> 00:27:00.662
but you saw Sal's house.
564
00:27:00.706 --> 00:27:02.708
He was pretty successful.
565
00:27:02.751 --> 00:27:04.579
Yeah, and Alfie's
an ambulance chaser
566
00:27:04.623 --> 00:27:06.150
advertising on bus stops.
567
00:27:06.590 --> 00:27:08.191
Yeah, what did he mean by that?
568
00:27:08.235 --> 00:27:09.976
Guys, I think I might know.
569
00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:11.673
Look at this. Alfie used to be
570
00:27:11.717 --> 00:27:13.370
one of the top litigators
in New York.
571
00:27:13.414 --> 00:27:15.808
Alfie? Are you sure?
572
00:27:15.851 --> 00:27:17.679
Yeah, this article
I just found says that
573
00:27:17.723 --> 00:27:20.290
he was one of the youngest
partners at a power law firm
574
00:27:20.334 --> 00:27:23.337
until about six months ago
when he suddenly left.
575
00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:25.340
What happened six months ago?
576
00:27:25.780 --> 00:27:26.645
Doesn't say.
577
00:27:26.688 --> 00:27:28.168
Well, Sal died a month ago,
578
00:27:28.211 --> 00:27:30.170
so whatever happened
wasn't about that.
579
00:27:30.213 --> 00:27:32.850
Can you check
his Facebook history?
580
00:27:32.128 --> 00:27:34.696
Maybe he posted something back
then that can give us a clue.
581
00:27:36.263 --> 00:27:37.917
- This is weird.
- What?
582
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:39.658
Well, Alfie posts a lot,
583
00:27:39.701 --> 00:27:42.312
but if you go back six months,
there's this huge gap.
584
00:27:42.356 --> 00:27:44.140
Maybe he took a break
from Facebook.
585
00:27:44.184 --> 00:27:45.533
I mean, we all do it.
586
00:27:45.576 --> 00:27:48.579
No, this was deliberate.
587
00:27:48.623 --> 00:27:51.147
I think Alfie did a major purge
around that time.
588
00:27:51.191 --> 00:27:54.630
You know how people scrub
photo tags or timelines
589
00:27:54.107 --> 00:27:55.891
in order to hide things?
590
00:27:55.935 --> 00:27:59.329
Alfie scrubbed pretty much
everything from that period.
591
00:27:59.373 --> 00:28:00.679
Something must have happened,
592
00:28:00.722 --> 00:28:02.332
and he doesn't want to be
reminded of it.
593
00:28:02.376 --> 00:28:04.291
I mean, I can try and recover
what he erased,
594
00:28:04.334 --> 00:28:06.162
it's just gonna take some time.
595
00:28:06.206 --> 00:28:08.295
If he was at
a high-powered firm,
596
00:28:08.338 --> 00:28:10.297
he'd have an assistant, right?
597
00:28:10.340 --> 00:28:12.754
Maybe a paralegal who knew what
was going on in his life then?
598
00:28:12.778 --> 00:28:15.302
- That's a good idea.
- On it.
599
00:28:15.345 --> 00:28:17.957
Kay, firm directory,
employee list,
600
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.133
backlog history.
601
00:28:20.176 --> 00:28:21.961
Here we go.
602
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.920
His assistant was a woman
named Janet Bell.
603
00:28:29.550 --> 00:28:30.273
Thanks for meeting us.
604
00:28:30.317 --> 00:28:31.927
I only get 45 minutes for lunch,
605
00:28:31.971 --> 00:28:33.581
and I'm not sure what
I can tell you.
606
00:28:33.624 --> 00:28:36.105
Any cases he was working on
back then are privileged.
607
00:28:36.149 --> 00:28:38.325
We understand,
and like we said on the phone
608
00:28:38.368 --> 00:28:39.892
we just want to help him.
609
00:28:39.935 --> 00:28:41.763
Can you tell us why he left?
610
00:28:41.807 --> 00:28:43.199
Look, I like Alfie.
611
00:28:43.243 --> 00:28:45.245
Are you sure this is about
helping him?
612
00:28:45.288 --> 00:28:47.638
Yeah, we promise.
613
00:28:47.682 --> 00:28:50.772
Alfie was driven,
obsessed with work,
614
00:28:50.816 --> 00:28:52.295
with proving himself,
615
00:28:52.339 --> 00:28:54.341
but then something changed
in him.
616
00:28:54.384 --> 00:28:56.380
I wasn't sure what it was
617
00:28:56.820 --> 00:28:59.781
until he started having me send
someone roses every week.
618
00:28:59.825 --> 00:29:01.430
He had a girlfriend?
619
00:29:01.870 --> 00:29:02.741
He never told me her name,
620
00:29:02.784 --> 00:29:05.395
but every Friday for months
I'd send them to an address,
621
00:29:05.439 --> 00:29:07.310
and then one day,
out of the blue,
622
00:29:07.354 --> 00:29:08.747
he told me to stop.
623
00:29:08.790 --> 00:29:11.793
Let me guess, six months ago?
624
00:29:11.837 --> 00:29:14.130
He tried to bury himself
back in work,
625
00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:17.364
but whoever she was,
she changed something in him,
626
00:29:17.407 --> 00:29:19.975
for the better if you ask me.
627
00:29:20.190 --> 00:29:21.760
He quit soon after.
628
00:29:21.803 --> 00:29:25.154
People just assumed he burned
out, but I knew better.
629
00:29:25.198 --> 00:29:28.157
You wouldn't be able to get
us her address, would you?
630
00:29:28.201 --> 00:29:31.730
Please, every Friday for months?
631
00:29:31.117 --> 00:29:33.989
I know it by heart.
632
00:29:39.429 --> 00:29:43.850
Ali, hey,
what are you doing here?
633
00:29:43.129 --> 00:29:44.826
A daughter can't pop in
634
00:29:44.870 --> 00:29:46.393
and say hi to her dad
for no reason?
635
00:29:46.436 --> 00:29:47.873
Well, I don't know. Can she?
636
00:29:50.397 --> 00:29:52.660
So Trish came to the bar
to see me.
637
00:29:52.703 --> 00:29:54.793
She said you changed
638
00:29:54.836 --> 00:29:56.272
your mind about playing tonight.
639
00:29:56.316 --> 00:29:57.796
Yeah, I'm just not ready to play
640
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.668
in front of a bunch of people.
It's no big deal.
641
00:30:00.711 --> 00:30:02.365
I know.
642
00:30:02.409 --> 00:30:05.412
I wanted to give you this.
643
00:30:13.289 --> 00:30:15.596
A pocket square.
644
00:30:15.639 --> 00:30:19.687
I haven't worn one of these
since...
645
00:30:19.730 --> 00:30:21.123
your mother.
646
00:30:21.167 --> 00:30:22.908
I know.
647
00:30:22.951 --> 00:30:25.432
I also know how much you loved
playing for mom.
648
00:30:26.955 --> 00:30:28.435
I was too young
to really remember,
649
00:30:28.478 --> 00:30:29.828
but I imagined
650
00:30:29.871 --> 00:30:32.221
it was one of those special
things between you two.
651
00:30:34.963 --> 00:30:37.520
Dad,
652
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.880
is this about playing for Trish?
653
00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:43.276
When you mother was
in the audience,
654
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:46.540
I played every note for her.
655
00:30:46.583 --> 00:30:48.368
I mean, the house could have
been packed,
656
00:30:48.411 --> 00:30:53.329
but it was like there was
a spotlight on her face,
657
00:30:53.373 --> 00:30:57.899
on her smile,
that only I could see.
658
00:30:57.943 --> 00:31:00.902
Now, I know
it's tragically old-fashioned
659
00:31:00.946 --> 00:31:04.950
not to want to play
for anyone else, but...
660
00:31:04.993 --> 00:31:07.387
it's like you say,
661
00:31:07.430 --> 00:31:14.460
it was something special
just between us.
662
00:31:14.890 --> 00:31:17.919
I get that, Dad...
663
00:31:17.963 --> 00:31:21.488
but I also think it may be time
664
00:31:21.531 --> 00:31:23.925
for you to play
for someone else.
665
00:31:28.625 --> 00:31:33.108
And if you want it
to be for Trish...
666
00:31:33.152 --> 00:31:35.328
that's okay.
667
00:31:35.371 --> 00:31:37.417
Mom would want you to.
668
00:31:41.987 --> 00:31:43.138
Think it's the next one over.
669
00:31:43.162 --> 00:31:44.598
Just hope she still lives here.
670
00:31:44.641 --> 00:31:47.350
Me too.
I wonder why they broke up.
671
00:31:47.790 --> 00:31:48.994
Alfie obviously took it hard,
so what happened?
672
00:31:49.370 --> 00:31:52.400
Guess we're gonna find out.
673
00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:04.444
- Blair?
- Miles?
674
00:32:04.487 --> 00:32:06.359
You guys know each other?
675
00:32:06.402 --> 00:32:08.100
What are you doing here?
676
00:32:08.143 --> 00:32:11.886
We'rewe're here because
of Alfie.
677
00:32:14.106 --> 00:32:15.977
He's the father, isn't he?
678
00:32:16.210 --> 00:32:18.414
How do you know Alfie?
679
00:32:18.458 --> 00:32:19.763
It's a long story,
680
00:32:19.807 --> 00:32:22.636
but one I think you need
to hear.
681
00:32:34.213 --> 00:32:35.562
It's a lot to take in.
682
00:32:35.605 --> 00:32:38.913
We know, but it brought us
here to you.
683
00:32:38.957 --> 00:32:40.610
So that must mean something.
684
00:32:40.654 --> 00:32:43.787
And this has some sort of
Happily Ever After Ending?
685
00:32:43.831 --> 00:32:47.950
I thought it did too.
And then you got pregnant?
686
00:32:47.139 --> 00:32:50.490
Alfie tried to be supportive,
but I could see it.
687
00:32:50.533 --> 00:32:53.101
His relationship with Sal
scared him.
688
00:32:53.145 --> 00:32:57.932
He thought he wasn't equipped
to be a father.
689
00:32:57.976 --> 00:33:00.543
And then...
690
00:33:00.587 --> 00:33:05.113
the day that we were supposed
to find out the sex of the baby
691
00:33:05.157 --> 00:33:08.160
he didn't show up.
692
00:33:08.203 --> 00:33:11.424
He just walked away.
693
00:33:11.467 --> 00:33:15.602
I couldn't break through.
694
00:33:15.645 --> 00:33:20.346
I'm not so sure about that.
695
00:33:20.389 --> 00:33:24.219
After he left you,
he quit his job.
696
00:33:24.263 --> 00:33:26.743
He wasn't the same person
anymore.
697
00:33:26.787 --> 00:33:29.442
Look, I think he's lost.
698
00:33:29.485 --> 00:33:33.402
Caught between the person
who he thinks he is
699
00:33:33.446 --> 00:33:37.150
and the person that he wants
to be for you.
700
00:33:37.580 --> 00:33:38.668
God.
701
00:33:38.712 --> 00:33:40.583
It's not too late, Blair.
702
00:33:40.627 --> 00:33:43.847
No, I mean, God,
I think my water just broke.
703
00:33:43.891 --> 00:33:45.458
Okay.
704
00:33:45.501 --> 00:33:47.764
My ready bag isis in
the hallway closet.
705
00:33:53.901 --> 00:33:56.425
I called a Lyft.
706
00:33:56.469 --> 00:33:57.644
Stay with Blair.
707
00:33:57.687 --> 00:33:59.820
- Where are you going?
- To find Alfie.
708
00:33:59.863 --> 00:34:01.102
Are you sure that's such
a good idea?
709
00:34:01.126 --> 00:34:04.420
I don't know, but I have to try.
710
00:34:15.575 --> 00:34:16.445
You again?
711
00:34:16.489 --> 00:34:18.708
I know about Blair.
712
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.323
I'd tell you to leave me alone,
but that doesn't seem to work.
713
00:34:24.366 --> 00:34:25.933
How did you find me anyway?
714
00:34:25.976 --> 00:34:28.370
I have a friend that knows
his way around the web.
715
00:34:28.414 --> 00:34:29.850
He was able to retrieve
716
00:34:29.893 --> 00:34:32.940
most of the photos of
you and Blair that you erased.
717
00:34:32.983 --> 00:34:35.986
This place was in more
than a few of them.
718
00:34:38.641 --> 00:34:40.121
What do you want, man?
719
00:34:40.165 --> 00:34:43.124
Blair is on her way to
the hospital with Cara.
720
00:34:43.168 --> 00:34:44.821
Today's the day.
721
00:34:44.865 --> 00:34:49.130
In a couple of hours,
you're gonna be a father.
722
00:34:49.174 --> 00:34:50.610
What do you think you...
723
00:34:50.653 --> 00:34:52.133
Come down here,
give me some speech,
724
00:34:52.177 --> 00:34:53.526
and I just change my mind?
725
00:34:53.569 --> 00:34:55.919
No, I think you came
to the place
726
00:34:55.963 --> 00:34:58.139
that was most important
to you and Blair
727
00:34:58.183 --> 00:35:02.709
because that's exactly
what you were hoping you'd do.
728
00:35:02.752 --> 00:35:05.538
I think you became twice
the lawyer that Sal was
729
00:35:05.581 --> 00:35:10.108
to try and prove that you
weren't anything like him.
730
00:35:10.151 --> 00:35:12.588
Now's your chance
to be twice the father.
731
00:35:16.897 --> 00:35:19.856
- I can't be a father.
- Man.
732
00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:23.208
I am doing her and that baby
a favor by staying away.
733
00:35:23.251 --> 00:35:25.732
Don't you think that should
be her choice,
734
00:35:25.775 --> 00:35:27.370
his choice?
735
00:35:29.475 --> 00:35:31.346
- It's a boy?
- Yes.
736
00:35:37.700 --> 00:35:42.966
The only thing I know about
fatherhood is how not to do it.
737
00:35:43.100 --> 00:35:47.232
Actually, that sounds like
a good place to start.
738
00:35:47.275 --> 00:35:52.759
Plus, I'm pretty sure they have
a few books on the subject,
739
00:35:52.802 --> 00:35:55.196
but I'd start with this one.
740
00:35:55.240 --> 00:35:58.678
It's about a boy and his father
who go sailing.
741
00:35:58.721 --> 00:36:00.854
The boy keeps asking
him questions,
742
00:36:00.897 --> 00:36:03.204
but the father's too sad
to respond,
743
00:36:03.248 --> 00:36:06.990
so the wind starts answering
for him.
744
00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:12.387
Telling him all the things
he wished he could have said.
745
00:36:12.431 --> 00:36:15.420
The seagull that followed me.
746
00:36:15.850 --> 00:36:18.132
I can't believe
he remembered that.
747
00:36:21.266 --> 00:36:25.226
Being on that boat was one of
the few...
748
00:36:25.270 --> 00:36:27.540
times that I didn't feel
invisible,
749
00:36:27.970 --> 00:36:30.570
like, Sal could actually...
750
00:36:30.100 --> 00:36:33.160
see me.
751
00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:34.670
He did.
752
00:36:34.714 --> 00:36:37.456
This is his way of telling you.
753
00:36:41.680 --> 00:36:44.270
You have a choice, Alfie.
754
00:36:44.710 --> 00:36:46.204
You can come with me right now
755
00:36:46.247 --> 00:36:50.599
and figure out a way to be
in your child's life,
756
00:36:50.643 --> 00:36:54.370
or you can wait for 30 years
757
00:36:54.810 --> 00:36:57.432
to write a book
about how you wish you had.
758
00:37:06.311 --> 00:37:08.950
Hey.
759
00:37:08.138 --> 00:37:09.531
Blair got here
in plenty of time.
760
00:37:09.575 --> 00:37:12.491
Baby wasn't in any distress.
761
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:16.973
What if she doesn't want to
see me,
762
00:37:17.170 --> 00:37:22.283
doesn't want me to be part
of his life?
763
00:37:22.327 --> 00:37:25.417
Then prove to them
you deserve to be.
764
00:37:36.515 --> 00:37:38.517
Hey.
765
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.525
He just wants to talk.
766
00:37:46.568 --> 00:37:48.570
No.
767
00:37:50.485 --> 00:37:52.879
You said you owed me one.
768
00:37:52.922 --> 00:37:56.317
In the elevator, remember?
769
00:37:56.361 --> 00:37:59.146
All I'm asking you to do
is listen.
770
00:38:11.376 --> 00:38:13.203
You left us, Alfie.
771
00:38:13.247 --> 00:38:16.729
You don't get to just waltz
back into my life,
772
00:38:16.772 --> 00:38:19.732
or this baby's,
773
00:38:19.775 --> 00:38:23.344
and pretend like nothing
happened.
774
00:38:23.388 --> 00:38:25.346
You're right.
775
00:38:25.390 --> 00:38:28.480
I don't expect you to ever
forget what happened.
776
00:38:28.523 --> 00:38:31.352
I'm not asking you
to take me back.
777
00:38:34.224 --> 00:38:36.836
I'm only asking you
let me be a part of his life.
778
00:38:36.879 --> 00:38:42.798
In whatever way you allow.
779
00:38:42.842 --> 00:38:46.367
And while I have
780
00:38:46.411 --> 00:38:48.413
absolutely no reference
781
00:38:48.456 --> 00:38:52.330
for what being a good dad
looks like,
782
00:38:52.373 --> 00:38:56.334
I know more than anyone
how much it matters.
783
00:39:00.425 --> 00:39:03.790
I'm not making any promises,
784
00:39:03.123 --> 00:39:05.821
but if I was open to it
785
00:39:05.865 --> 00:39:08.650
what would that look like?
786
00:39:12.100 --> 00:39:16.354
I'd start by reading him
a story.
787
00:39:19.269 --> 00:39:21.359
I think he'd like that.
788
00:39:29.149 --> 00:39:35.240
Sometimes it's hard not
to see our lives as a story.
789
00:39:35.680 --> 00:39:39.420
We assume that the past
chapters in our lives,
790
00:39:39.464 --> 00:39:43.859
our history, have led to where
we are now.
791
00:39:43.903 --> 00:39:46.427
We feel beholden to it,
792
00:39:46.471 --> 00:39:50.344
tied to the story
that got us here.
793
00:39:52.128 --> 00:39:56.350
But what happens when that
story starts to change?
794
00:40:01.486 --> 00:40:03.488
Hey, man,
thanks for inviting us.
795
00:40:03.531 --> 00:40:04.924
Thanks for coming.
796
00:40:04.967 --> 00:40:06.665
Hey.
797
00:40:10.103 --> 00:40:11.670
- Hey, man, Rakesh.
- Lucy.
798
00:40:11.713 --> 00:40:13.628
Eli.
799
00:40:13.672 --> 00:40:16.283
Do you know what changed
his mind?
800
00:40:16.326 --> 00:40:19.504
You know musicians,
could have been anything.
801
00:40:19.547 --> 00:40:23.421
- Hey.
- Here.
802
00:40:23.464 --> 00:40:25.292
Hey, I'm Nia.
803
00:40:25.335 --> 00:40:28.121
Hi, how do you guys know
each other?
804
00:40:28.164 --> 00:40:31.472
Well, Nia was the DJ
805
00:40:31.516 --> 00:40:33.343
that kept covering up
my posters,
806
00:40:33.387 --> 00:40:35.496
and then somehow we both ended
up in that marketing class.
807
00:40:35.520 --> 00:40:37.173
I'd say it was fate,
808
00:40:37.217 --> 00:40:39.480
but who believes
in that kind of thing, right?
809
00:40:41.700 --> 00:40:44.703
Right.
810
00:41:18.432 --> 00:41:22.100
Sometimes the stories
we thought were over
811
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.438
are anything but,
812
00:41:24.482 --> 00:41:26.788
and we realize that
813
00:41:26.832 --> 00:41:31.184
happy endings are rarely
easy, or simple,
814
00:41:31.227 --> 00:41:36.668
or expected as we thought,
815
00:41:36.711 --> 00:41:39.235
but that doesn't mean they
aren't worth it.
816
00:41:47.374 --> 00:41:48.418
What?
817
00:41:48.462 --> 00:41:50.159
Look.
818
00:41:54.250 --> 00:41:56.209
It's Falken.
819
00:41:56.252 --> 00:41:58.516
I know it.
820
00:41:58.559 --> 00:41:59.691
What are you gonna do?
821
00:41:59.734 --> 00:42:01.606
I'm gonna find him.
822
00:42:01.649 --> 00:42:04.430
But in the end,
823
00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:06.915
whether a new story
is taking shape,
824
00:42:06.959 --> 00:42:08.569
or an old one
825
00:42:08.613 --> 00:42:12.573
is suddenly being replayed
in a new light...
826
00:42:12.617 --> 00:42:15.620
You good, Cara?
827
00:42:15.663 --> 00:42:17.535
I'm just gonna grab us
another drink.
828
00:42:17.578 --> 00:42:21.495
Whatyeah, no, I'm good.
829
00:42:28.633 --> 00:42:32.710
You never know where
a really good story might go.
830
00:43:11.850 --> 00:43:12.851
Greg, move your head.
