Previously
on "God Friended Me"...

- Three weeks ago,
I found a lump.

- You have a ductal carcinoma
in your left breast.

- Well, I was considering
freezing my eggs

before treatment.

- Ali, this is no time
to be taking risks.

- I have decided to meet
with a fertility specialist.

I need to do this.

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

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

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

- Yeah, I know.

- Adam Grey.

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

- I was hired
by Alphonse Jeffries.

- What can you tell me
about Alphonse Jeffries?

- We served
in the war together.

- I think he may be
behind the God Account.

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

- Why would you hire
someone to hack your system

when you bought New York Sun?

- I didn't hire anyone
to hack my system.

- The hacker.
He took off.

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

- Look what he left us.

[upbeat music]

- ♪ Welcome, may I have
your attention? ♪

♪ Pull up a seat,
begin the lesson... ♪

- Hey.
Hey, Rakesh.

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

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

- Well,
there is a killer dumpling spot

around the corner,
but this is slightly better.

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

I got his name.
it's Zi Yen.

Follow me.

So I got his lease
from his ex-landlord,

and it had
his cell phone listed,

and I'm tracking it right now.

It should be up the block.

- Rakesh, that's incredible.

- Yeah, if we can find Zi,
then we can figure out

who's behind the God Account.

- Well, he should be
right about...

here.

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

right next to Zi Yen.

- I'm Zi Yen.

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

- He is. Um, sir...

is this
your phone number?

- Yes.

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

in SoHo, would you?

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

- Well, either that's Zi
in an incredible disguise,

or he put a bogus name
on his apartment lease.

- Okay,
so first the guy plays us

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

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

- Well, I think
for the sake of simplicity,

we should stick
with calling him Zi for now.

- Fine.

Um, look, any luck on tracking
down Zi's online poker handle?

- Wait, what are you guys
talking about?

- Well, when we first met Zi,

he was poker
at A-Listpoker.net.

It's for high rollers,
very exclusive,

but, unfortunately,
the handle he was using,

it was registered
to a dummy email.

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

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

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

And hopefully
our next Friend Suggestion

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

[cell phone chimes, buzzes]

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

- What makes you so sure?

- Because my next
Friend Suggestion is me.

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

send me my own name?

- Well, maybe there's something

the awkward part

you aren't the God Account.

- Hey, Al.
How you feeling?

- I am good,

and again this morning.

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

- [laughs]
What are you working on?

- I am making a spreadsheet

to track
my fertility treatments.

- Oh, yeah.
How are things going?

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

I've got an ultrasound
later on today,

and the doctors
are optimistic, so...

- Well, that's great to hear.

- Oh, you know, usual Monday.

Miles just got a
Friend Suggestion for himself.

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

- No clue.

- Hmm.
Oh, speaking of Facebook,

Miles, I didn't know
you were so passionate

about saving the whales.

- Ali,
what are you talking about?

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

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

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

- What?
No.

There is nothing

So this is
Ali's Facebook page, right?

This is the alert from Miles
about the fundraiser.

You click on it,

and instead of sending you

it sends you
to a clone account.

Identical,
except for the fundraiser.

- Okay,
so someone hacked my account.

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

Someone used your name

and created
an identical profile.

- Wait, Miles,
pull up the Friend Suggestion

you got for yourself.

Is the fundraiser on that page?

- Yeah, it is.

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

for myself,
but for this clone page?

- Looks that way.
But why do that?

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

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

- Yeah, I'm on it.

[keys clacking]

And the plot thickens.

The IP traces
to a satellite office

for the Department of Defense.

- The God Account
wants me to help a scammer

that works in the government?

- We're gonna
find out soon enough,

a private message

he got 30 minutes to meet us

in the lobby of the DoD,

their scam to their employers.

Our scammer just responded.

He should be

we made a mistake

reaching out like this, do you?

- What are you talking about?

- Look around--
I mean, government suits,

high-tech security.

The guy could be CIA

What if we just blackmailed
Jason Bourne?

- We?
This was your idea.

- Uh, yeah.
Who are you?

- I'm Zach Waller.
- [chuckles]

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

You're a kid.

- Said you wanted to talk.

So what do you want?

- Well, you cloned my account

and you scammed
my friends and family.

I want to know why.

- Because I could.
[chuckles] Anything else?

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

and also,
how are you working at the DoD?

- I'm 16,
and I got an internship

with their cyber unit
last month.

I'm somewhat
of a coding prodigy.

- You know,
a prodigy would know better

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

- It worked, right?

- If it worked, Zach,
we wouldn't be here.

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

Anyway,
who do you guys work for?

- I have a podcast,

and Rakesh
works at IdentitySeal.

- [laughs]
Wow.

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

- I want to know
why you cloned my profile

and why you chose me.

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

I programmed
a very complex algorithm

that scrapes up data and makes
picture-perfect copies

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

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

There you go.

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

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

a little pocket change.

- Well, look, Zach,
that stops now.

I want you to take down
the clone pages

and return all of the money.

- Look, if it'll make
this conversation end,

I'll take down the accounts,

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

I can't.
- Yes, you can.

- And if I don't, what?

Hmm?

What?
You're gonna report me?

Go ahead.

Really, 'cause by the time
anybody investigates me,

I'll just erase
all the evidence.

So...

good talk.

- [groans]

So what do we do now?

- I don't know.

But something tells me
that kid is doing way more

than just scamming a few bucks
off of the Internet.

And for whatever reason,

the God Account
wants us to help him.

[sighs]

We need to figure out why.

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

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

So is that the only reason

- No, actually, I wanted to--
[computer chimes]

- Oh, sorry.
I'm looking into something.

- Anything I can help with?

- Uh, not unless you play poker
at A-Listpoker.net.

- I don't.

However, I did do a piece

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

A-List is actually
a very exclusive site,

and the founder hosts
a high-stakes table

at a secret location
in the city.

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

for someone
who plays on that site.

His name is Zi Yen.

- Never heard of him,

but most of the high rollers
on A-List

do play at this table.

Maybe he's one of them.

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

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

to give me a location.

- Yeah, that would be great.
Thank you.

what did you want to tell me?

- Nothing.

I'll call you

- Okay,
so our Friend Suggestion

is a 16-year-old
coding genius

who interns at the DoD?

Yeah, totally normal thing
for a teenager to do.

- There is nothing normal
about this kid.

I mean, the algorithm he built

to pull off his
little scam is very advanced.

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

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

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

- Well, I'm digging into Zach
right now,

trying to see
if there's more going on here

than just, you know,
a simple scam.

- Ooh, how did things go
at "Catapult"?

- Oh, uh, actually,
I ran into Adam Grey.

He came by to congratulate me
on my promotion.

- He's familiar
with email, right?

- Meaning?
[chuckles]

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

- [chuckles]

Okay, Rakesh,
it wasn't like that.

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

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

Turns out, A-List holds

an underground game
for their high rollers,

and he thinks
that Zi might play there.

- Does he know where
the game is gonna be?

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

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

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

He's in ROTC, got accepted
early into West Point.

- So why risk his entire future
over a few bucks?

- It's actually way more
than a few bucks.

Looks like Zach cloned
hundreds of Facebook accounts

all running the same
birthday scam.

- Wait, so how much money
did he raise?

- $10,000.

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

We have to stop him.

- Yeah, and since Zach has no
intention of listening to us,

his parents need to know
what's going on.

Hey, Rakesh, can you--

- Send you
the Wallers' address?

Check your phone.
Just did.

- All right, perfect.

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

- Do you mind me asking
why you were denied

the Gold Star honor?

- Because according
to the military investigation,

Meg went AWOL

is trying to cover up

what really happened.

He mentioned trying to hire

a high-priced lawyer
a few weeks back.

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

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

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

all the money went towards

buying a modified
Raspberry Pi.

- Zach spent
10 grand on dessert?

- Contrary
to conventional wisdom,

a Raspberry P-I
is not a delicious pastry.

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

- What would Zach
need with that?

- Well, with the right code
built into it,

a hacker could use
a Raspberry Pi

to break into highly secure
closed networks.

- The DoD is home to classified
military intelligence,

as in the type of intel

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

- Zach is gonna hack into
the Department of Defense.

- Zach gets out of class
