PREVIOUSLY ON "ELI STONE"...

YOULL KNOW MARCI KLEIN,
AS IN WETHERSBY, POSNER AND.

THE FEAR IS THAT MR. STONE
IS SYMPTOMATIC

OF A LARGER PROBLEM IN A STRING
OF CLIENT DEFECTIONS.

DO YOU KNOW THE RESTAURANT
LE PETIT TABLE?

6-MONTH WAITING LIST--
THAT LE PETIT TABLE?

IF YOU CAN GET US RESERVATIONS THERE,
I'LL HAVE DINNER WITH YOU.

YOU NEVER REALLY MENTIONED SCOTT
BEFORE YOU GOT ENGAGED.

WELL, YOU KNEW
I HAD A BOYFRIEND.

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
THE WHOLE ENGAGEMENT THING KINDA CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

TAYLOR, DO YOU FEEL THAT?

I SAW AN EARTHQUAKE,
AND IT DESTROYS SILVER TERRACE.

-==��������԰�������==-
����Ļ����ѧϰ�������Ͻ�������ҵ��;

MR. STONE?

MR. STONE, PLEASE SIT DOWN.

COOL FISH.

YOUR PRE-OP EXAM
LOOKS PROMISING.

WELL, I STUDIED VERY HARD.

THAT'S A... JOKE.

VITALS LOOK GOOD.
BLOOD PRESSURE IS NORMAL.

HEART IS HEALTHY.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ALL SET.

TO TAKE OUT THE ANEURYSM.

I THOUGHT WE WERE REMOVING
YOUR GALLBLADDER.

A LITTLE JOKE.

YOU SEEM NERVOUS.

WHY WOULD I BE NERVOUS?

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT GOING INTO MY SKULL

WITH SHARP INSTRUMENTS,
WITH A HIGH LIKELIHOOD

THAT I'LL LOSE
THE ABILITY TO SPEAK--

THAT'S IF I DON'T LOSE
THE ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, LIVE.

GIVEN THE RISK,
IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I RECOMMEND THAT PATIENTS SHOULDGET TH

YOU'RE SAYING
I SHOULD DRAFT A WILL?

A LIVING WILL--A DOCUMENT
THAT CLARIFIES YOUR WISHES

SHOULD YOU BE UNABLE
TO EXPRESS THEM YOURSELF.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW
A FEW GOOD LAWYERS.

YO! TAXI!

JERK!

TAXI!

HI. 101 FEDERAL STREET,
DOWNTOWN, PLEASE.

I'M ALMOST THERE,
MACARONI.

I'M ON THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
RIGHT NOW.

YES, THAT'S THE BIG,
ORANGEY ONE.

GOLDEN GATE?
I SAID DOWNTOWN!

HELLO? HELLO?

OH, GREAT. A VISION.

SEE YOU SOON, MACARONI.

NO, IT'S NOT.
IT'S MONDAY THE 21st,

AND IT'S 10:00 IN THE MORNING.
(rumbling)

OH, GOD, NOT AGAIN.

HEY, BUDDY?

I SAID, WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?

CHINATOWN.
I'M GOING TO CHINATOWN.

AND STAY OFF THE GOLDEN GATE.

AS IF ONE FAKE EARTHQUAKE
HALLUCINATION WASN'T ENOUGH,

NOW I'M GETTING ONE
DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY.

IT'S LIKE THE ANEURYSM KNOWS,
FRANK.

IT KNOWS I'M TRYING
TO TAKE IT OUT,

AND IT'S TRYING TO SCARE ME
WITH BIG-BUDGET SEQUELS.

PERSONIFYING YOUR ANEURYSM?
THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD, DUDE.

IT'S LIKE JONAH.

GOD KEPT TALKING TO HIM
WHEN HE DIDN'T BELIEVE.

YEAH, I'VE BEEN READING UP.

G STORM,
SWALLOWED BY A FISH,

YOU WANT TO GET
ALL TRIVIAL PURSUIT? BRING IT.

JONAH STILL WAS A PROPHET,
ALBEIT A STUBBORN ONE.

YOU'RE KINDA MAKING
MY POINT FOR ME. I SAW WHEN IT HAPPENS.

WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HITS?

3 DAYS' TIME--
5:13 P.M.

ELI,
YOU HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE.

OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU REMEMBER SILVER TERRACE--

HOW I BRIBED A JUDGE,
HAD SOME FAMILIES

KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES?
AND WHAT IF THIS EARTHQUAKVISION

IS A VALIDATION
OF THE FIRST--

LIKE JAH HEARING
THE VOICE OF GOD TWICE?

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!

MY SUPERPOWERS DO NOT EXTEND
TO STOPPING EARTHQUAKES!

AND IF I BARELY BELIEVE ME,
WHO ELSE IS GOING TO?

HAVE SIMON BABYSIT EDWARDS
TILL YOU GET BACK, NIGEL.

I NEED YOU ON A PLANE
TO SAN FRANCISCO TONIGHT.

I'M NOT ASKING.

I SEE YOU'VE MADE YOURSELF
RIGHT AT HOME.

I AM AT HOME, REMEMBER?

??????????

WHICH MAKES IT
ALL THE MORE DISTURBING TO ME

TO SEE YOU'VE BEEN LOBBYING
FOR MY OUSTER.

MY NAME'S STILL THE FIRST ONE
ON THE DOOR, MARCI.

DID YOU REALLY THINK
I WOULDN'T FIND OUT?

TRUTH BE TOLD, I WASN'T
VERY CONCERNED EITHER WAY.

I AM MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT OUR TOP CORPORATE CLIENTS

RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.

(sighs)
THERE WILL BE NEW CLIENTS,

AND EVEN SOME OF THE FORMER ONES
WILL RETURN TO THE FOLD. NOT BEUTEL.

NOT ZYRE MOTORS.

THEY HAVE THEIR NEW ATTORNEYS

DRAFTING MALPRACTICE COMPLAINTS
INSTEAD.

YOU'VE SPOKEN TO THEIR C.E.O.s
WITHOUT MY PRIOR APPROVAL?

THERE'S A COMMON THREAD
RUNNING THROUGH

THE BIGGEST BLUNDERS
THIS FIRM HAS MADE. ELI STONE ISN'T A BLUNDER.

I'D FIRE HIM,

BUT HE'S PROTECTED BY
AN AGREEMENT YOU SIGNED OFF ON.

I'VE DONE THE MATH, MARCI.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE VOTES
TO REPLACE ME.

BE SURE OF THAT.

IT'S DONE. CANCEL WHATEVER PLANS
YOU HAVE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT,

BECAUSE WE ARE
GOING TO DINNER.

I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT.

MM. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
CHIMP-INDUCED PSYCHOSIS,

BUT I HAVE A PRETTY ACCURATE
MEMORY OF YOU OFFERING

TO HAVE DINNER WITH ME.
WHEN AND IF YOU GOT US RESERVATIONS

AT A RESTAURANT
WITH A 6-MONTH WAITING LIST.

6 MONTHS. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO?
SUFFICE IT TO SAY LE PETIT TABLE IS NOW A CLIENT OF THIS FIRM

AT SHARPLY DISCOUNTED
BILLING RATE.

OH. NICE JOB, MR. DOWD.

I TAKE IT FROM THE LOOK
OF SURPRISE ON YOUR FACE

YOU'RE UNACCUSTOMED TO DEALING
WITH MEN AS CAPABLE AS THE DOWD.

FUNNY.
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU.

HEY, UH,
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?

UH, I'VE GOT
AT LEAST 60 OF 'EM.

ACTUALLY, I WAS ASKING...
THE DOWD.

WHAT'S ON YOUR STRUCTURALLY
DEFECTIVE MIND, FRIEND?

I NEED TO SCHEDULE
SOME TIME WITH YOU.

AW, GEE, BUDDY,
THAT SOUNDS SWELL,

BUT MY SOCIAL CALENDAR'S
PRETTY FULL THESE DAYS. IT'S NOT A PERSONAL MATTER.

ACTUALLY, IT'S A PERSONAL
LEGAL MATTER. LET ME GUESS. YOU'RE SUING ME

NO, BUT WHAT A NICE THOUGHT.

IF YOU COULD JUST LET PATTI
KNOW WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOME TIME FREE TOMORROW?

THANKS.

(Patti) DID YOU FALL DOWN
AND HIT YOUR ANEURYSM?

YOU SHOULD JUST TAKE A FEW DAYS
OFF, GET OUT OF TOWN.

GET FAR OUT OF TOWN.
GO TO A SPA.

JUST AVOID
THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

I JUST GOT BACK
FROM A WEEK OFF. WELL, TAKE ANOTHER WEEK.

WE'RE NOT PARTICULARLY BUSY
AROUND HERE... (taps)

ESPECIALLY WITH
MY SURGERY COMING UP.

PATTI, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.
I DIDN'T. IT IS AN ENGAGEMENT GIFT FOR MAGGIE.

WHAT DID I GET HER?
AN APOLOGY FOR BEING SUCH AN ASS LAST WEEK.

I USED YOUR CREDIT CARD.
HERE'S THE RECEIPT.

I'M EITHER VERY SORRY,
OR I AM VERY HAPPY FOR MAGGIE.

YOU'RE BOTH.

IT'S FOR YOU,
FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT.

OH! THIS IS VERY NICE OF YOU.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

OH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, I FIGURED WHILE SCOTT
WAS IN OHIO,

HE SHOULD ALSO BE
ON YOUR DESK... IN A FRAME. WELL, ACTUALLY, HE'LL BE BOTH.

HE'S MOVING OUT HERE
ON THURSDAY.

THAT'S GREAT.

WOW.
I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HIM.

(beep)
HELLO?

DUDE, I SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM.

SORRY. YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TELL ME WHICH ONE.

JUST TURN ON THE TV,
CHANNEL 8.

THIS IS NO FANTA,

NO CARELESS PRODUCT
OF WILD IMAGINATION.

NO, MY FRIENDS,
THIS IS A MATTER

OF UNDENIABLE SCIENTIFIC FACT.

(Chen) Are you watching?
Do you see this?

I SEE A NUTCASE
WITH A HANDMADE SIGN AND IMPECCABLE PENMANSHIP.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TELL
EVYONE ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE

SO THEY'D BELIEVE YO
LISTEN TO THIS GUY.

He's a scientist.

THROUGH GEOLOGICAL
PROGNOSTICATION,

I'VE CALCULATED THAT THE QUAKE
WILL HIT IN THREE DAYS' TIME--

THURSDAY.

Did you hear that?

You said in your vision,
the earthquake hit Thursday. THURSDAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TO CHAPERONE ME.

I'M NOT CHAPERONING. I'M MAKING
SURE YOU DON'T BLOW THIS OFF.

BY "THIS," YOU MEAN YOUR PLAN
TO GET PEOPLE TO BELIEVE ME

BY RELYING ON SOMEONE
NOBODY BELIEVES?

???????THE EARTHQUAKEFROM YOUR VISION.

HE ALSO PREDICTED FIVE OTHER
EARTHQUAKES THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

OBVIOUSLY,
HE'S GOTTEN THE KINKS OF HIS PREDICTION SYSTEM

THAT'S NOT OBVIOUS.
THAT'S THE EXACT OPPOSIT OF OBVIOUS.

EXCUSE ME, DR. FOOTE?

DR. FOOTE!

HI. I'M ELI STONE.
I'M AN ATTORNEY.

THIS EARTHQUAKE PROOFING
IS EXACTLY TO CODE.

AND IT'S PATENTED, SO DON'T
EVEN TRY TO RIP ME OFF.

DR. FOOTE, WE'RE HERE
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE YOU.

OH, NOBODY BELIEVES ME.
(chuckles) NICE TRY.

NONE OF THE HECKLERS HAVE TRIED,
"HEY, WE BELIEVE YOU!" BEFORE.

YOU GET POINTS FOR ORIGINALITY.
WELL, THANK YOU,

BUT WE'RE NOT HERE TO HECKLE
YOU, WE'RE NOT HERE TO SUE YOU,

AND WE'RE NOT HERE
TO RIP YOU OFF.

I'M HERE BECAUSE--
WELL, I-I'M VERY INTERESTED

IN YOUR METHOD
OF EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION. SEISMIC OGNOSTICATION.

WELL...
SO HOW DOES IT WORK? YOU HAVE A SEISMOMETER OR SOMETHING?

(chuckles)
YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.

FOLLOW ME.

WIPE YOUR FEET,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

WELL, THE ENTIRE HOUSE
IS BASICALLY AN EXTREMELY LARGE

EACH BRACE NOT ONLY
PROTECTS THE HOUSE

FROM SEISMIC UNDULATION
BUT ALSO COLLECTS DATA

FROM THE MOTION-AMPLIFYING
MECHANICAL LINKAGES.

I'M NOT A SCIENTIST.

YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING
THAT THIS WHOLE HOUSE

IS A GIANT EARTHQUAKE
DETECTING DEVICE?

AND A TAX WRITE-OFF, YES.

BUT YOU'VE NEVER...

ACCURATELY PREDICTED
AN EARTHQUAKE USING IT.

I HATE THAT WORD, "PREDICT."
IT IMPLIES PSYCHIC POWERS,

CLUMPS ME IN WITH PALM READERS
AND FORTUNE-TELLERS.

WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY THINK
ABOUT YOU TURNING

THE WHOLE HOUSE INTO
A GIANT... EARTHQUAKE THING?

THEY DON'T. MY WIFE MOVED
EVERYBODY DOWN TO CUPERTINO.

BETTER FOR 'EM ANYWAY.

AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS CITY,
THE BETTER. AND THE QUAKE YOU SAY IS COMING,

WHERE DO YOU THINK
THE EPICENTER WILL BE?

NOT "THINK." KNOW.

HERE. COME HER

SEE THESE LINES? THESE ARE
THE SEVEN MAJOR FAULTS

LYING UNDERNEATH THE BAY AREA.

NOW MY ALGORITHM SAYS
THE EPICENTER WILL BE INLAND,

MOST LIKELY HERE--
SILVER TERRACE.

SILVER TERRACE?
YOU DON'T SAY.

THE MAGNITUDE OF THE QUAKE--
6.5 AT LEAST--

WOULD MEAN SHOCK WAVES THAT
COULD DESTROY THINGS LIKE, UH--

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
YEAH.

DR. FOOTE, HOW FAR ARE YOU
PREPARED TO TAKE THIS?

YOU MEAN TO GET PEOPLE
TO LISTEN TO ME,

TO GRASP THE DANGER?

WELL, MR. STONE,
I HAVE LOST MY FAMILY, MY JOB,

MY REPUTATION, A LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF MY DIGNITY.

SO PRETTY FAR.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
NO, I CAN BE. I PROMISE.

HOW IS THIS NOT A JOKE?

YOU'RE ASKING THE COURT
TO CLOSE THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. NO, NO. I'M ASNG THE COURT

TO ORDER THE CITY TO CLOSE
THE GOLDEN GATE. UNDER THIS WRIT

MANDAMUS, YOUR HONOR.
YEAH, A LAW SO OLD,

IT'S PRACTICALLY WRITTEN
ON A STONE TABLET.

AND IT ONLY APPLIES
IF THE CITY ISN'T MEETING

ONE OF ITS LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.
LIKE PROTECTING THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF ITS CITIZENRY.

THE CITIZENRY ARE DOING
JUST FINE, THANKS. THEY WON'T BE

OH, THIS IS THE PART WHERE
HE TROTS OUT THE QUACK SCIENTIST

WITH THE CRACKPOT
EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION. DR. FOOTE HAS DEGREES FROM

AND AN 0-FOR-5 RECORD
IN FORECASTING EARTHQUAKES.

THE MANDAMUS LAW PRESUPPOSES
THAT THE PLAINTIFF POSSESSES

BETTER JUDGMENT THAN THE CITY.
I DON'T THINK

DR. FOOTE QUALIFIES.
BUT I DO. YOUR HONOR, YOU'LL NOTICE FROM THE PAPERWORK

THAT I'M THE NAMED PLAINTIFF
HERE.

DR. FOOTE IS MERELY PROVIDING
THE EVIDENCE I'M RELYING UPON.

BRINGING ME RIGHT BACK
TO "QUACK" AND "CRACKPOT."

MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE IDEAL
SITUATION FOR CLOSING THE BRIDGE

FOR THE FIRST TIME?
ACTUALLY, THE GOLDEN GATE'S BEEN CLOSED THREE TIMES--

DUE TO FORECASTS OF HIGH WINDS,
EXCEPT THIS TIME

INSTEAD OF WINDS,
WE'RE TALKING EARTHQUAKE. ASSUMING YOU BELIEVE DR. FOOTE.

NO, YOUR HONOR,
ASSUMING THAT YOU DO.

HUNDREDS OF LIVES
ARE AT STAKE HERE.

WHAT'S A FEW HOURS TO LISTEN
TO WHAT THE MAN HAS TO SAY? YOUR HONOR--

IF IISMISS THIS CASE,

I HAVE TO START A 3-MONTH TRIAL
ON ACCOUNTING PRACTICES.

I'LL DO ANYTHING TO PUT THAT OFF
FOR A DAY OR TWO.

HAVE YOUR WITNESS IN COURT
10:00 TOMORROW.

(judge) NEXT?

IAN YOUNG FROM NEW YORK IS
DOWNSTAIRS TKING TO MATT DOWD.

CHARLOTTE PHILLIPS FROM CHICAGO
IS DOWNSTAIRS

CHECKING HER E-MAIL
ON MY COMPUTER THIS VERY MINUTE.

ARE YOU LIVE BLOGGING
THE OFFICE NOW?

NO, BUT I'M A WOMAN,
I'M A LAWYER,

AND I'M JORDAN WETHERSBY'S
DAUGHTER,

AND I KNOW WHEN SOME BITCH
IS TRYING TO ORCHESTRATE A PALACE REVOLT.

I ASSUME THE WICKED WITCH
TO WHOM YOU'RE REFERRING

IS ONE OF THIS FIRM'S
FOUNDING PARTNERS.

MARCI IS HARDLY THE FIRST LAWYER
TO TRY TO THROW ME OFF MY PERCH.

DON'T WORRY, SWEETHEART.
YOUR FATHER'S MADE OF VLAR.

YOUR FAVORITE SON
IS AT IT AGAIN.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT HE JUST DID? I CAN'T SAY THAT I DO.

AND I CAN'T SAY
THAT I'M SURPRISED.

AS MANAGING PARTNER,

YOU MANAGED TO TURN A BLIND EYE
WHERE ELI STONE IS CONCERNED.

HE JUST SUED
SAN FRANCISCO--

THE ENTIRE CITY.

HE'S ASKING A JUDGE TO CLOSE
DOWN THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

IF HE IS, I'M SURE
HE HAS GOOD REASON.

I'LL TALK TO HIM.
I'VE GOT THIS ONE.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE
IF YOU WERE IN THE LOOP,

SINCE YOU DON'T SEEM
TO BE.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD THROW
A BUCKET OF WATER ON HER.

ARE YOU GONNA TALK TO ELI,
TELL HIM TO STOP GIVING MARCI

AMMUNITION TO USE AGAINST YOU?
IT HADN'T OCCURRED TO ME TO DO SO, NO.

WELL, IT OCCURS TO ME.

(Eli)
I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

OH. UH--
BETTER THAN A SURPRISE, ACTUALLY. IT'S ANOTHER GIFT.

OH, REALLY, THE FRAME
WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH.

WE'RE GONNA BE SAVING PEOPLE
FROM AN ACTUAL EARTHQUAKE--

HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS
OF LIVES.

WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE SUPERHEROES,
BUT WITH SUITS AND BRIEFCASES

INSTEAD OF CAPES
AND SECRET IDENTITIES.

THIS IS
YOUR EARTHQUAKE CASE?

IT'S OUR EARTHQUAKE CASE.
YOU'RE MY SECOND CHAIR.

OH. I CAN'T DO IT, ELI.

WHY? SCOTT DOESN'T GET IN
FOR ANOTHER WEEK,

AND THE CASE WILL BE OVER
BY THEN--BELIEVE ME, HAS TO BE.

THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM.

I'M KIND OF, UM, WORKI
FOR MS. KLEIN ON SOMETHING.

MEDUSA KLEIN? WHAT KIND OF--
HAVE YOU FILED THE APPEARANCE?

YES. YOU ARE NOW THE, UH,
ATTORNEY OF RECORD FOR THE CITY. WE ARE, MS. DEKKER.

YOU AND MS. KLEIN ARE--
OPPOSING COUNSEL IN YOUR EARTHQUAKE CASE, YES.

PRO BONO,
AS YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR.

WE'LL SEE YOU IN COURT.

OH. I SEE YOU FILLED THE FRAME.
IS THAT SCOTT?

YEAH. THAT'S SCOTT AND ME
IN NEW YORK LAST YEAR.

SEE YOU IN COURT, ELI.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON,
MACARONI.

STONE, WHAT WAS IT
YOU WANTED YESTERDAY?

NOW'S REALLY
NOT A GOOD TIME, MATT.

BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS,
STONE.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE
IMMUTABLE FACTS OF LIFE. COULD YOU GIVE ME A MINUTE?

OKAY, I'M LATE FOR
MARCI AND MAGGIE TO TRY

AND SHRED ME IN COURT,
SO I'M GONNA KEEP THIS BRIEF.

I'M GOING IN TO HAVE
THE ANEURYSM TAKEN OUT.

CHANCES ARE
I WON'T SURVIVE THE SURGERY,

SO NEED SOMEONE
TO DRAFT A LIVING WILL

SO THAT MY WISHES
AND MY DIGNITY ARE PROTECTED.

AND MY HEARTSTRINGS
WILL BE SO TUGGED ON,

I'LL BE LIMP FOR YOUR EX.
NICE TRY, STONE.

WAIT, WAIT. THIS ISN'T
ABOUT YOU AND TAYLOR.

THIS IS ABOUT ME NOT LIVING
LIKE A VEGETABLE FOR ONE SECOND LONGER THAN I HAVE TO.

I NEED THIS TO BE IRONCLAD.

I NEED IT DRAFTED
WITHOUT SYMPATHY OR SENTIMENT.

(elevator bell dings)
I AM FAIRLY UNSYMPATHETIC.

THIS IS
WHAT I'M COUNTING ON.

WE'RE GONNA PUT YOUR UTTER
LACK OF HUMANITY TO GOOD USE.

(Eli) YOU HAD YOUR WHOLE CAREER
IN FRONT OF YOU.

TENURED BERKLEY PROFESSOR
AT 32.

VICE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN
SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY AT 35.

BY ALL OBJECTIVE MEASURES,

I WAS POISED TO BECOME
THE LEADER IN MY FIELD.

BUT YOU DIDN'T.
NO. LIKE, UH, AHAB, I DEVELOPED A SINGLE-MINDED VENDETTA

AGAINST A WHITE WHALE.

IN MY CASE, IT WAS
FORECASTING AND PREVENTING

A DEVASTATING
SEISMIC CATASTROPHE.

PREDICTING THE BIG ONE,
YOU MEAN--

THE NEXT GREAT
SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE. THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT YOU HAVEN'T EXACTLY BEEN
SUCCESSFUL SO FAR, HAVE YOU?

???????????ALMOST A YEAR

BEFORE THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL TEST
OF THE LIGHTBULB.

THE FIRST POWERED GLIDER
BUILT BY THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

FLEW FOR ONLY THREE SECONDS.

FAILURE IS MERELY
A ROAD TO SUCCESS.

I'VE REFINED MY METHODOLOGY.

I CAN TELL YOU
WITH 98% CERTAINTY

THIS QUAKE IS COMING.

WHEN?

TWO DAYS. DURING RUSH HOUR.

YOUR HONOR, AT THIS TIME
I WOULD MOVE THAT

MR. FOOTE'S TESTIMONY
BE REMOVED FROM THE RECORD

AND THE PLAINTIFF'S CASE
DISMISSED. YOUR HONOR,

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS,
BUT GENERALLY THE DEFENDANTS

WILL CROSS-EXAMINE
AT THIS POINT.

MR. STONE IS RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN
OUT OF THE COUNTRY RECENTLY,

BUT I PRESUME DAUBERT
IS STILL ON THE BOOKS?

SCIENTIFIC TESTIMONY
IS INADMISSIBLE

UNLESS GENERALLY ACCEPTED
BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.

WHAT MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC
COMMUNITY BACK YOUR CLAIM, SIR?

UH, WELL, SOME OF MY, UH,

COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN
REALLY INTRIGUED BY MY WORK.

BUT THE EXACT NUMBER
WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU

WOULD BE ZERO.
YOUR HONOR?

SHE'S WITHIN THE BOUNDS,
COUNSEL.

SO NO SCIENTISTS.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT LAYPEOPLE?

PERHAPS
A SYMPATHETIC JOURNALIST?

NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES
THIS QUAKE IS COMING. MR. STONE APPEARS TO BELIEVE ME.

AND YOUR WIFE, I'M--I'M SURE.

AHEM. I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'D HAVE TO ASK HER.

ARE YOU ESTRANGED
FROM YOUR WIFE, SIR?

SHE LEFT ME.
WHEN?

SEPTEMBER 4, 2005.

YOU SEEM TO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE
WITH THAT DA.

DOES IT HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANCE?

IT WAS THE DATE OF
THE LAST EARTHQUAKE I FORECAST.

I DON'T SEEM TO REMEMBER
AN EARTHQUAKE ON THAT EXACT DATE.

FUNNY THING.

(Taylor)
I'M NOT LAUGHING, ELI.

ARE YOU SURE?

'CAUSE I THINK A CATASTROPHIC
EARTHQUAKE IS HILARIOUS. HELP ME OUT HERE.

IS THIS "CATASTROPHIC" LIKE
THE LAST ONE YOU PREDICTED? (sighs) I'M NOT PREDICTING

THERE'S A SCIENTIST--
DANIEL FOOTE-- LOOK, I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED

EXCEPT, I GUESS, WHEN IT COMES
TO CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKES,

WHERE YOU SEEM TO HAVE
A PRONOUNCEDLIND SPOT. AND WHAT'S MY BLIND SPOT

MARCI KLEIN. SHE IS USING
THIS LITTLE CRUSADE OF YOURS

AS EVIDENCE MY FATHER DOESN'T
HAVE A GRIP ON HIS OWN FIRM.

THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU PUSH THIS, AND MY FATHER--

THE MAN WHO'S BEEN LIKE A FATHER
TO YOU--TAKES THE HIT.

I CAN DROP THE CASE--

E EARTHQUAKE CASE.

I CAN RECUSE MYSELF IMMEDIATELY,
GET MY CLIENT NEW COUNSEL.

I DOUBT THAT YOU'LL FIND
ANOTHER ATTOEY IN THIS CITY

AS ECCENTRIC AS YOURSELF,
ELI.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
TO BAIL ON A CLIENT.

IS SOMETHING THE MATTER?
NO, NOT WITH ME, BUT WITH YOU.

I'VE HEARD RUMBLINGS.

AND DID YOU HEAR THEM
FROM A TALL FEMALE ASSOCIATE

WHO HAS MY EYES?

TAYLOR MAY HAVE MENTIONED
THAT THERE COULD BE

POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU
IF I CONTINUE WITH THIS CASE.

AND YOU'VE DECIDED
TO COME TO MY RESCUE?

YOU WERE THERE FOR ME.
YOU STOOD UP FOR ME,

PROTECTED ME,
REPRESENTED ME.

NOW I'M HERE FOR YOU.

AN ATTITUDE THAT,
HOWEVER NOBLE,

PRESUMES THIS RECUSING YOURSELF
IS YOUR DECISION TO MAKE.

IT'S NOT?

EVERY CASE YOU HAVE TRIED
OR EVER WILL TRY AT THIS FIRM

HAS BEEN, AND WILL BE DONE SO,
AT MY PLEASURE.

IF I HADN'T WANTED YOU
TO REPRESENT DANIEL FOOTE

OR, FOR THAT MATTER,
BETH KELLER OR ARVIN SOLINSKY,

MAKE NO MISTAKE--
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE.

AND WHILE I APPRECIATE

YOUR NEWLY LOCATED SENSEOF LOYALTY,

YOU STARTED THIS CASE.

IT'S NOT FINISHED YET.

MY LAWYERS
FINISH THEIR CASES.

UNDERSTOOD?

YES, SIR.

HEY! I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M GONNA BEAT YOU.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BEAT ME.
MARCI'S GOING TO.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE DOING
ANY OF THE TALKING. HEARING'S NOT OVER YET.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.
NO, I'M SERIOUS. MARCI SAYS SHE HAS BIG PLANS FOR ME.

MAGGIE...

WHY DO YOU THINK MARCI
CHOSE YOU TO SECOND CHAIR?

MY WORK IN THE ST. VINCENT'S
MALPRACTICE TRIAL?

WHICH WAS REALLY MY WORK,
WHICH MARCI,

BEING A VERY CLEVER PERSON,
WOULD FI OUT. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

OUT OF ALL THE ASSOCIATES
AT THE FIRM,

SHE DIDN'T EXACTLY PICK
THE MOST EXPERIENCED ONE.

SO WHY DO YOU THINK
SHE PICKED YOU? BECAUSE I'M... SPUNKY...

AND A HARD WORKER.

AND YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT ME THAN
ALMOST ANYONE ELSE AT THIS FIRM.

SHE PICKED YOU
SO SHE CAN PUMP YOU

FOR INFORMATION ABOUT ME--
ABOUT MY TACTICS, MY STRATEGY,

MY HISTORY--
WHAT ABOUT YOUR OVERINFLATED EGO?

I'M JUST SAYING,
WHAT IF FOOTE'S RIGHT?

PEOPLE COULD DIE.

PEOPLE...
OR A PERSON YOU KNOW.

JUST WHEN SHE COMES TO YOU,

AND SHE WILL,
JUST DON'T BE, UM...

YOU.

YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE WHY
YOU'RE REPRESENTING DR. FOOTE.

YOU'RE BOTH GREAT
AT ALIENATING PEOPLE.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
FILLED HIS CLOSET

WITH MULTIPLE PAIRS
OF THE SAME SHIRT AND PANTS

SO HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WASTE
A THOUGHT ON WHAT TO WEAR.

IT WAS A QUIRK OF GENIUS.

TODAY, THAT SAME BEHAVIOR
WOULD BE LABELED O.C.D.

DO YOU BELIEVE DANIEL'S MACHINE
CAN PREDICT EARTHQUAKES?

HONESTLY, I'M NOT SURE.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

I DIDN'T LEAVE DANIEL BECAUSE
I THOUGHT HE WAS WRONG.

I LEFT BECAUSE BEING RIGHT

WAS MORE IMPORTANT
TO HIM THAN I WAS.

GIVEN THAT MRS. FOOTE OFFERED
NOELEVANT TESTIMONY,

I HAVE NO CROSS-EXAMINATION.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE,
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE."

KIND OF.

EXCEPT FOR THE "I'LL ALREADY
BE BRAIN-DEAD" PART.

THERE IS THAT.
IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,

I ALREADY THINK OF YOU
AS BRAIN-DEAD.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT.

"I DO NOT WANT MY LIFE PROLONGED
IF I HAVE AN INCURABLE

"AND TERMINAL CONDITION
OR IF I BECOME UNCONSCIOUS

"AND AM UNLIKELY
TO REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.

I WISH TO BE PERMITTED
TO DIE."

THIS IS CHEERFUL.
WHERE DO I SIGN?

HERE.

OKAY.

HMM. IT'S NOT EVEN NOON,

AND I'VE ALREA MADE
MY END-OF-LIFE DECISION.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
SO FAR TODAY?

I'M SORRY.

THIS... WHOLE THING'S
A LITTLE DEPRESSING.

CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

YEAH, I'M PISSED AT HIM.

AFTER EVERYTHING
MY FATHER'S DONE FOR ELI,

HE CAN'T DROP ONE STUPID--
INCREDIBLY STUPID CASE?

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW...

WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

EXCUSE ME?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

FOR THE PAST TEN MINUTES?

SURE. OF COURSE. NOW WHAT
LOOKS GOOD TO YOU HERE?

I WAS THINKING
THE, UM, OXTAIL CARPACCIO.

LOOK, I RECOGNIZE
IT'S PROBABLY BEEN A WHILE

SINCE YOU MANAGED TO GO
ON A DATE WITHOUT A WOMAN

WHO DID IT PROFESSIONALLY,
BUT GENERALLY YOU'RE EXPECTED

TO PAY ATTENTION
TO THE WOMAN YOU'RE WITH.

SORRY.

LOOK, OBVIOUSLY, WE...

WE'RE A LITTLE OFF HERE.

SO WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

NOTHING.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO
A LITTLE EASIER ON ELI.

SEE? I WAS PAYING ATTENTION.
GO EASY ON ELI?

YEAH.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE?

MY FATHER HAS DONE
EVERYTHING FOR HIM.

HE COULD DO THIS ONE THING
FOR MY DAD.

I THINK ELI'S JUST BEEN A LITTLE
FOCUSED ON OTHER STUFF LATELY.

WHAT KIND OF STUFF?

DOES THIS VE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THE LEGAL THING

HE WANTED YOUR HELP ON?
I'M TAKING CARE OF SOMETHING FOR HIM, YES,

AND EVERYTHING I KNOW IS...
PRIVILEGED?

ELI AND I USED TO TELL
EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME.

WELL, DON'T PUT ME
IN THAT POSITION.

HOWEVER, I CAN THINK OF SEVERAL
POSITIONS YOU COULD PUT ME IN.

IT'S ALMOST HARD TO BELIEVE
YOU'D BOTCH THE ONE EVENING

YOU HAD TO PROVE
YOU'RE NOT ALL PIG.

CITY BUDGET NUMBER CRUNCHING--
CRUNCHED.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

GO HOME. I THINK YOU'VE WORKED
HARD ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT.

BUT IT'S ONLY 10:00.

WHATEVER YOU MAY HAVE HEARD,
MS. KKER, I'M NOT A MONSTER.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

GET SOME REST.

I KNOW HOW HARD THIS CASE
MUST BE ON YOU.

WHAT?

JORDAN AND I--
WE HAD A THING ONCE...

BEFORE HE WAS MARRIED,
BEFORE WE STARTED THIS FIRM.

WE USED TO TAKE EACH OTHER ON
IN COURT AND OUTSIDE OF COURT.

I UNDERSTAND
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS

TO SIT ACROSS THE AISLE
FROM SOMEONE YOU'RE CLOSE TO.

ELI AND I AREN'T CLOSE.

REALLY? I LOOKED OVER
HIS RECENT CASES.

YOU'VE WORKED ON
NEARLY ALL OF THEM.

I NEEDED
COURTROOM EXPERIENCE.

PERHAPS YOU COULD HELP ME OUT
WITH SOMETHING.

OH, I'M REALLY
NOT ALL THAT HELPFUL.

LOOKING THROUGH HIS CASELOAD,
IT SEEMS THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS

AND KIDS GET
HIS MOST ZEALOUS REPRESENTATION,

WHERE OUR HIGHER END CLIENTS--
ARVIN SOLINSKY, ZYRE MOTORS--

GET SOMETHING LESS
THAN HIS "A" GAME.

ACTUALLY,
IN THE SOLINSKY CASE,

ELI DID EVERYTHING HE COULD
TO EVACUATE SILVER TERRACE.

"EVACUATE"?
YOU MEAN EVICT?

RIGHT! EVICT.

ISN'T SILVER TERRACE
THE ALLEGED EPICENTER

OF THE ALLEGED EARTHQUAKE?

I SHOULD REALLY GO.
SIT DOWN, MS. DEKKER.

YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME
EVERYTHING YOUNOW

ABOUT ELI STONE,
SILVER TERRACE

AND IMAGINARY EARTHQUAKES.

HE TOLD ME THINGS IN CONFIDENCE.
I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING.

YOU NOT ONLY CAN.
YOU'RE OBLIGATED TO.

WELL, COUNSEL, CAN WE PROCEED
WITH FINAL ARGUMENT?

ACTUALLY, WE HAVE OUR OWN
REBUTTAL WITNESS TO CALL,

YOUR HONOR--

MARGARET ANN DEKKER.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

MISS--MISS MAGGIE DEKKER
IS AN ATTOEY OF RECORD HERE.

THIS IS A HEARING,
NOT A TRIAL. AND IN ANY CASE,

MS. DEKKER HASN'T SAID A WORD
IN COURT THUS FAR.

OBJECTION OVERRULED.
TAKE THE STAND, MISS DEKKER.

(man) RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND...
WHAT'S THAT GIRL GONNA SAY?

(whispers) NOTHING GOOD.

I WILL.

MS. DEKKER, IN YOUR CAPACITY AS
ONE OF MR. STONE'S CO-WORKERS,

HAVE YOU NOTICED A CHANGE
IN HIS LEGAL PRACTICE?

OBJECTION! NEITHER MYSELF NOR
MY PRACTICE ARE ON TRIAL HERE.

I'LL ADMIT IT IS NOT LIKE
HIS DISBARMENT PROCEEDING

TWO MONTHS AGO, BUT MR. STONE
HAS PUT HIMSELF AT ISSUE

BY SEEKING THE MANDAMUS WRIT
PERSONALLY, YOUR HONOR.

CHECKMATE, COUNSELOR.

SIT DOWN.

ELI IS TRYING TO REPRESENT
MORE INDIVIDUALS

AND LESS CORPORATIONS.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH THAT.

I'M SURE WE WOULD
ALL AGREE, MS. DEKKER.

BUT COULD YOU TELL THE JUDGE
HOW MR. STONE TRIED TO HELP

THE CITIZENS OF
THE SILVER TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD

WHEN THEY SUED
HIS CLIENT ARVIN SOLINSKY?

HE WAS CONCERNED
FOR THEIR WELFARE.

HE WANTED THEM
TO GET A GOOD DEAL. HE WANTED THEM TO MOVE

AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT MR. SOLINSKY WANTED.

BUT NOT FOR THE SAME REASON.
OBJECTION-- SHE'S LEADING THE WITNESS.

PERMISSION TO TREAT THIS WITNESS
AS HOSTILE, YOUR HONOR? (judge) YOUR OWN CO-COUNSEL?

I DON'T GET ALONG WITH
MY CO-WORKERS, YOUR HONOR.

WHY DID ELI STONE
WANT THE CITIZENS

OF SILVER TERRACE
TO VACATE THEIR HOMES?

HOW CAN ANYONE KNOW
WHAT'S IN ANOTHER PERSON'S MIND?

WHAT DID HE TELL YOU,
MS. DEKKER? OBJECTION--HEARSAY.

OH, I'M NOT GOING TO BE
MITTING THIS AS TRUTH,

YOUR HONOR, BELIEVE ME.

HE SAID THAT...

THAT THERE WOULD BE
AN EARTHQUAKE.

BUT NOT BECAUSE DR. FOOTE
TOLD HIM, RIGHT?

TELL THE JUDGE WHY

MR. STONE THOUGHT
THERE WOULD BE AN EARTHQUAKE.

HE SAID THAT...

THAT HE COULD SEE
THE FUTURE.

PASS THE WITNESS.

WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT THERE
WOULD BE AN EARTHQUAKE,

WHAT DID YOU TELL ME?

THAT I BELIEVED YOU.

EXCELLENT SECOND CHAIR,
MS. DEKKER.

YOU'RE INSANE! IF I'D WANTED
TO BE LAUGHED OUT OF COURT,

I'D HAVE JUST
REPRESENTED MYSELF.

DANIEL, I'M SORRY.
YEAH, I'M SORRY, TOO--SORRY I LET YOU ROPE ME INTO THIS,

SORRY THAT I LET YOU
USE ME AS A MOUTHPIECE

FOR YOUR OWN
PERSONAL NUTBAGGERY! NO, I DIDN'T! I BELIEVE YOU!

ONLY BECAUSE YOU'RE CUCKOO
FOR COCOA PUFFS!

AT LEAST I HAVE A MACHINE,
A METHODOLOGY. I CAN FILE AN EMERGENCY APPEAL.

NO. IF YOU TRY, I WILL
GET A RESTINING ORDER.

YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!

ANOTHER SATISFIED CLIENT.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

YOU GOTTA TELL SCOTT
TO STAY OFF THE GOLDEN GATE. COME ON, ELI.

HE CALLS YOU "MACARONI."

IF I WASN'T RIGHT,
HOW ELSE WOULD I KNOW THAT?

WELL, I MUST HAVE TOLD YOU.

FIRST IT WAS MAGG-ERONI
AND CHEESE.

THEN IT WAS MAGGERONI,
AND THEN IT WAS JUST MACARONI.

NO. YOU DIDN'T TELL ME.
I'D REMEMBER BEING THAT BORED.

JUST CALL HIM.

DO IT FOR ME.

PATTI, I COULD USE SOME
GOOD NEWS RIGHT NOW.

ELI, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
PAUL MILLER CALLED.

HE'D LIKE TO MEET
WITH YOU AND DR. FOOTE. GREAT. WHO'S PAUL MILLER?

THE CHIEF AIDE TO THE MAYOR.

MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO?

NO, THE MAYOR OF MUNCHKIN LAND.

He is waiting for you
at City Hall.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

I'D LIKE TO BE ANYONE OTHER THAN
THE PERSON LEADING THIS CHARGE.

JORDAN, MARTIN POSNER AND I
FOUNDED THIS FIRM TOGETHER,

AND WE FOUND IT ON THE PRINCIPLE
THAT WE WOULD SET

A NEW STANDARD
FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION,

THAT OUR CLIENTS WOULD BE
THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST,

THE LARGEST
AND THMOST SUCCESSFUL.

BUT THOSE CLIENTS ARE LEAVING,

AND THEY WILL T COME BACK

UNTIL THEY'VE RECEIVED
A CLEAR SIGNAL FROM US

THAT WE HAVE SEEN
THE ERROR OF OUR WAYS.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT SIGNAL NEEDS TO BE LOUDER

THAN THE FIRING
OF ONE RENEGADE ASSOCIATE.

IT NEEDS TO BE THE OUSTER
OF THE MAN WHO'S ALLOWING HIM

TO DAMAGE OUR FIRM
AND ITS REPUTATION.

ELI STONE HAS NOT DAMAGED
THE REPUTATION OF THIS FIRM.

MR. STONE WAS REPRESENTINGAN INDIVIDU ???

????CAUSE OF ACTION.

IF IT WEREN'T LEGITIMATE,
THE COURT WOULDN'T HAVE

ENTERTAINEA 3-DAY HEARING.

MS. KLEIN'S PROBLEM
WITH MR. STONE

ISN'T THAT HE'S ECCENTRIC.

IT'S THAT...

HE APPLIES HIS CONSIDERABLE
TALENTS TO UNDERDOGS

AND INDIVIDUALS INSTEAD
OF CONGLOMERATES AND C.E.O.s.

HE REMINDS US
THAT IN BUSINESS,

THERE IS STILL ROOM
FOR HUMANITY,

THAT CAPITALISM WITHOUT MERCY

IS TANTAMOUNT TO EVIL.

HE REMINDS US...

OF THE BEST PARTS OF OURSELVES.

YES, I HAVE PROTECTED ELI STONE

BECAUSE I BELIEVE
THIS FIRM NEEDS ELI STONE.

I BELIEVE THAT EVERY FIRM,
EVERY COMPANY, EVERYONE...

NEEDS AN ELI STONE.

AND BY YOUR VOTE, YOU'LL SAY
WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE.

IF YOU DON'T,

THEN THIS PLACE
HAS BECOME SOMETHING

I DON'T WANT
MY NAME ON ANYWAY.

(Eli) WOULD YOU MIND
REPEATING THAT?

BECAUSE--FULL DISCLOSURE HERE--
I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO HEAR THINGS.

THE MAYOR'S CLOSING
THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

DESPITE THE JUDGE'S RULING.

I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T ASK THIS,
BUT, UM... WHY?

WELL, FOR ONE THING,

WHEN DR. FOOTE'S NOT SHOUTING
HYSTERICAL PROCLAMATIONS

FROM THE FRONT STEPS
OF THIS BUILDING,

HE'S ACTUALLY QUITE PERSUASIVE.
THANK YOU.

BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, HE WASN'T
THE ONE WHO PERSUADED THE MAYOR.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?

WHAT IF DANIEL AND I ARE WRONG,
AND THERE'S NO QUAKE?

WELL, WHAT IF YOU AND DANIEL
ARE RIGHT, AND WE DID NOTHING?

FAIR POINT.

(chuckles) THE ONE PERSON
IN THE ENTIRE CITY

WHO BELIEVES US
JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE MAYOR.

(laughs)
TALK ABOUT DUMB LUCK.

THIS BETTER BE GOOD, DOWD.
I'M MISSING "OPRAH."

DR. OZ IS ON.

THIS IS ONLY
SLIGHTLY MORE IMPORTANT. MM.

IT MIGHT HELP US
TO KNOW WHAT "THIS" IS.

BEFO I GO IN FOR
MY MINOR LIFE-OR-DEATH SURGERY,

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
I DON'T GET TERRI SCHIAVO'ED.

HE'S ASKED ME TO DRAFT

AN ADVANCE
HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE.

I WOULD HAVE ASKED YOU,
BUT I NEEDED SOMEONE

WITHOUT CONSCIENCE OR SYMPATHY.
NO OFFENSE.

NONE TAKEN.

ELI,
I'M SURE THERE'S NNEED.

I MEAN, I'M SURE THESE SURGERIES
USUALLY WORK OUT FINE.

ONLY 50% OF THE TIME.
I'VE BEEN READING UP.

ELI'S A COIN TOSS AWAY
FROMEING A VEGETLE.

THANK YOU, PATTI.

IN ANY CASE,
I NEED TO GET IT WITNESSED,

WHICH IS WHY
YOU GUYS ARE HERE.

YOU...

YOU WANT US TO WITNESS
YOUR SUICIDE NOTE?

IT'S NOT A SUICIDE NOTE.
IT'S A STATEMENT OF MY WISHES.

ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO DIE.

ABOUT HOW
AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES

I DON'T WANT TO LIVE.

THANK YOU.

ELI,
YOU DRAFT YOUR WILL YET?

I LEFT YOU
ALL MY GEORGE MICHAEL CDs.

I FIGURED
THAT WAS APPROPRIATE.

I GUESS SINCE
YOU'RE ELI'S LAWYER FOR THIS,

PRIVILEGE WOULD--

PREVENT ME FROM
BRINGING IT UP ON A DATE.

EXCELLENT.

OKAY, SO...

IF YOU'LL ALL GO
TO THE NEAREST EXITS,

GOLDEN GATE PARK
IS THE SAFEST PLACE

FOR THE IMMINENT EARTHQUAKE.

ELI.
PLEASE, JUST DO IT FOR ME.

CONSIDER IT A LAST REQUEST
IF YOU HAVE TO.

BUT GOLDEN GATE PARK,
NOT BRIDGE, OKAY?

?????

HELLO?

JUST...

HELLO!

HI. UH, SORRY TO INTERRUPT,

BUT I HAVE IT
ON VERY GOOD AUTHORITY

THAT IN ABOUT AN HOUR FROM NOW,

THERE'S GONNA BE AN EARTHQUAKE--
A BIG ONE...

THE BIG ONE.

SO I'M LEAVING,

AND I HOPE YOU'LL DO THE SAME,
BECAUSE I'M GUESSING THAT

22 STORIES UP IN THE AIR
SURROUNDED BY GLS

IS GONNA BE ONE OF
THE LESS DESIRABLE PLACES TO BE.

NOW I KNOW THAT MOST OF YOU,
IF NOT ALL OF YOU,

THINK THAT I'M CRAZY--

UH, THE LAWYER
WITH THE HOLE IN HIS HEAD

AND THE INAPPROPRIATELY TIMED
SONG IN HIS HEART.

(sighs)
AND I KNOW THAT AS LAWYERS

WE'RE TRAINED TO RELY ON FACT
AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE.

BUT I'M ASKING YOU--I'M ASKING
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU...

THIS ONE TIME, WITH THE STAKES
SO COMPLETELY HIGH...

TO BELIEVE ME...

AND TAKE SOMETHING ON FAITH.

TRUST ME. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

(Joshua Radin) * I'M LEAVING,
BUT DON'T WORRY *

* I'LL BE BACK AGAIN

* YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT HERE

SO WHO'S WITH ME?

* AND YOU'RE GRIEVING,
BUT DON'T RRY *

* TO YOUR PACK OF FRIENDS

* I'LL STAY, IT'S CLEAR

* THE ONE

* YOU KNEW FROM YOUR LOVE

* I GREW INTO...

I'VE TALLIED
THE PARTNERS' VOTES,

AND, UH, WELL, JORDAN, THERE IS
NO EASY WAY TO SAY THI

I THINK YOU JUST DID, MARCI.

BUT FOR THE RECORD, IT IS
THE DECISION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

THAT JORDAN WETHERSBY
BE REMOVED FROM HIS POST

AS MANAGING PARTNER
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

TRULY, JORDAN,

I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT.

I CAN LIVE
WITH THE PARTNERS' DECISION.

I HOPE THEY CAN.

* CAN'T BE ANY BETTER

* I'M BLINDED BY ROAM

* THE ONE YOU KNEW

* FROM YOUR LOVE

* I GREW INTO

* COMPLETE AND WHOLE

* AND THE WAY

* I JUSTIFY...

MARCI?

I'D LIKE A RE-VOTE.

EXCUSE ME, TOM.

I TOLD YOU!
6.8 ON THE RICHTER SCALE!

MAGGIE!
OH, ELI!

YOU CAME.

OF COURSE, ELI.
THIS IS FIANC?SCOTT.

HI.

I TOLD YOU I BELIEVED YOU.

OH, MY GOD!

* AND I'LL ALWAYS BE

* THE ONE YOU KNEW
FROM YOUR LOVE *

* I GREW INTO...

I GUESS HE WASN'T
SO CRAZY AFTER ALL.

I GUESS NOT.
