PREVIOUSLY ON "ELI STONE"...
IN ABOUT AN HOUR FROM NOW
THERE'S GONNA BE AN EARTHQUAKE.

OH, MY GOD!

IT'S LIKE I SEE THINGS NOW--
THINGS THAT WERE ALWAYS THERE

BUT THAT I JUST
NEVER NOTICED BEFORE.

YOUR DAD TOLD ME THAT
I WOULD MAKE GOOD ON MY DEBT

TO HIM ONE DAY. I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR DAD MEANT.

I RECOMMEND THAT PATIENTS SHOULD
GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER.
I SHOULD DRAFT A WILL?

BEFORE I GO IN
FOR MY SURGERY...

YOU WANT US TO WITNESS
YOUR SUICIDE NOTE?

IT'S A STATEMENT ABOUT HOW
AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES

I DON'T WANNA LIVE.

E.K.G.'s NORMAL.

PULSE OX 92.

CHANGING TO 20 C.C.s
PER KILOGRAM.

THE GRAFT IS SECURE.

I'M PREPARING TO TIE OFF
THE ANEURYSM.

O2 AT 15.
2 LITERS STANDING BY.

GO AHEAD. TIE IT DOWN.
INFUSION.

DAMN IT.

IT RUPTURED.
HE'S HEMORRHAGING.
HE'S DROPPING.

RECLIP PROXIMALLY.
QUICKLY, PEOPLE, NOW!

" playing)

WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING

IN THE WAY SHE SAID "I HATE
YOU 'CAUSE YOU BREATHE"

IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME
THAT I HEARD IT

BUT IT'S THE ONE
THAT'S OUT OF REACH

I'VE GOT MY MIND SET
ON DESTRUCTION

THANKS.
SURE.

WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?

SO YOU GOT THAT, UH...

THING THIS WEEK, RIGHT?

IF BY "THE THING" YOU MEAN
GETTING MY SKULL SAWED OPEN,

THEN, YEAH, THAT'S FRIDAY.
OH.

WELL, LISTEN,
IF, UH, ANYONE DESERVES TO...

NOT... DIE,

OR... BE BRAIN-DAMAGED,

IT'S YOU.

AND LOOK
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE--

IF YOU DO END UP A VEGETABLE,
TWO WORDS--

SPONGE... BATH.

THANKS. THAT'S COMFORTING.

KEITH. WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT THE ALLEN DEPO, RIGHT?

ACTUALLY,
I WAS LOOKING FOR ELI.

GREAT. I'LL BE IN MY OFFICE.
EVERYTHING OKAY WITH MOSELY?

ASIDE FROM STILL
BEING IN PRISON?
MM.

HE'S GOOD.
I SAW HIM LAST WEEK.

BUT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE, THOUGH.
I THOUGHT
THEY FIXED THAT ALREADY.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS
A BIG WEEK FOR YOU--

IS THERE ANYONE
IN THIS OFFICE

WHO DOESN'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT MY NEUROSURGERY?

LOOK, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN,
BUT I'M GONNA BE FINE.

WAS THERE AN AFTERSHOCK
OR SOMETHING?

I MUST HAVE SLEPT THROUGH IT.
OKAY, I-I GET IT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

BUT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,
OR YOU JUST WANT TO GO OUT

AND GET HAMMERED,
DRINKS ARE ON ME.
THANKS.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
MAN.

ANY IDEA WHY PEOPLE
IN THE OFFICE

ARE TREATING ME LIKE
I'M MADE OF GLASS?
UM, I COULDN'T SAY.

YOU SHOULD GET READY
00.

PATTI, YOU DON'T HAVE
TO THREATEN PEOPLE

TO BE NICE TO ME.
WELL, WHAT ELSE
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, ELI?

PEOPLE DON'T GET
BRAIN SURGERY EVERY DAY.
TREAT ME LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

IN FACT, I DEMAND THAT YOU ARE
MEANER TO ME THAN USUAL.

WHERE'S THE MAYOR OF SASSTOWN
WHEN I NEED HER?

CAN WE JUST ACT LIKE
EVERYTHING'S NORMAL?

00 IS HERE.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
00.

THAT'S BECAUSE
YOU DON'T LISTEN.
SEE? THAT'S THE SPIRIT.

SORRY. HI. ARE YOU PATTI?

SO NICE TO MEET YOU IN PERSON,
MR. GREEN. MEET ELI STONE.

HE'S BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
YES, I HAVE. COULD YOU JUST
REMIND ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME DIE.

ASSISTED SUICIDE
IS ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA.

I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN SUICIDE, MR. STONE,

ASSISTED OR OTHERWISE.

MY WIFE WANTS ME
DECLARED INCOMPETENT.

SHE WANTS
TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHT

TO MAKE
MY OWN MEDICAL DECISIONS.

SO, UH, A-ARE YOU ILL?

CANCER.

IT STARTED IN MY COLON,
BUT IT SPREAD.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH
CHEMOTHERAPY TWICE.

BOTH TIMES
I WENT INTO REMISSION,

AND BOTH TIMES
THE CANCER CAME BACK.

MY WIFE WANTS ME
TO HAVE CHEMO AGAIN...

BUT I WON'T DO IT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO
THROUGH IT AGAIN?

GOD TOLD ME TO BE AT PEACE.

AND IN MY EXPERIENCE,
CHEMOTHERAPY IS NOT PEACE.

UH... YOU SPOKE TO GOD?

YEAH. WELL, HE SPOKE TO ME.

I... PRAYED,
AND I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED,

AND IT JUST CAME TO ME--
NOT A VOICE, EXACTLY,

BUT A FEELING.

WHEN IT COMES
TO CHEMOTHERAPY,

FOR ME, IT TOLD ME--

OR HE... SHE...
TOLD ME--

THIRD TIME'S NOT THE CHARM.

OBVIOUSLY, UM, I'M NOT
A DOCTOR, SO I'M GUESSING...

UM,
WITHOUT THE CHEMOTHERAPY--

I'LL DIE, PROBABLY...

OR MAYBE NOT.

I-I-I JUST PRAYED,

AND GOD TOLD ME

TO PUT MYSELF IN HIS HANDS.

AND MY WIFE
DOESN'T WANT ME TO.

WILL YOU HELP ME STOP HER?

HAVE YOU COMPLETELY
LOST YOUR MIND?

ORIGINAL. IN THREE MONTHS,
I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ONCE.

SORRY, BUT SANE PEOPLE
DON'T PREDICT EARTHQUAKES,

AND THEY DEFINITELY
DON'T SIGN D.N.R.s

RIGHT BEFORE
HIGH-RISK NEUROSURGERY.

WHY NOT?
BECAUSE POSTSURGICAL OUTCOMES
CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE.

FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU--
35, YOUNG, IN GOOD SHAPE,

YOU CAN COME OUT
WITH A HORRIBLE PROGNOSIS

AND SIX WEEKS LATER
BE TOTALLY FINE.

SO EVEN IF I COME OUT
A VEGETABLE,

I MIGHT NOT STAY A VEGETABLE?
YEAH, WELL, IF YOU WANT
TO GET TECHNICAL ABOUT IT.

OR I COULD STAY A VEGETABLE,
OR IN A COMA.

THAT'S WHY I NEED A D.N.R.
JUST BECAUSE THE SURGERY IS
RISKY DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD

PUT YOUR LIFE IN SOME
RANDOM DOCTOR'S HANDS.

I'M NOT.
I'M PUTTING IT IN YOURS.

YOU WANT ME TO BE
YOUR HEALTH CARE PROXY?

ARE WE GONNA GO BACK
TO THE "CRAZY" JOKES?
NO, YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND
FOR REAL THIS TIME.

WHAT IS SO INSANE
ABOUT ASKING MY BROTHER,

WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A DOCTOR,
TO BE MY HEALTH CARE PROXY?

NOTHING,
EXCEPT THE LAST TWO PEOPLE

YOUR BROTHER DID THAT FOR
HAPPENED TO DIE.

VALERIE MASTERS REFUSED
THE HEART. YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

SHE MADE A DECISION.
YEAH, BUT DAD DIDN'T.
LOOK, I-I KNOW MY LIMITS.

TEN YEARS AGO,
I MADE A BAD DECISION,

AND I'M NOT DOING IT AGAIN.
YOU WON'T.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
YES, I DO. NATHAN, YOU'VE BEEN
RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING SO FAR--

THE ANEURYSM, DR. RAJAPAKSA.
WHATEVER HAPPENS, I TRUST YOU.
AND IF I DON'T TRUST MYSELF?

THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

WHAT MATTERS MOST
IS THAT I BELIEVE

YOU'LL DO THE RIGHT THING.

AND BY "RIGHT THING,"
YOU MEAN IF THINGS GET BAD,

IF WORSE COMES TO WORST,
YOU WANT ME TO...

I WANT YOU TO LET ME GO.

DR. STONE?

DR. RAJAPAKSA
WANTS TO SEE YOU.

IT'S ABOUT YOUR BROTHER.

MOVING FAR AWAY

MOVE ON FROM THE FARM

YOUR HEART...

SO I HEARD
ABOUT YOUR CASE...

AND, WELL, I WAS THINKING
MY SCHEDULE'S PRETTY FREE.

I COULD SECOND CHAIR.

UH, THAT'S OKAY, MAGGIE.
I CAN HANDLE IT ALONE.

WELL, NO, OF COURSE, YOU CAN.
I WASN'T IMPLYING THAT...

YOU EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE CASE IS ABOUT?

NOT REALLY.
I HAD A FEELING. SO WHAT ARE
YOU REALLY DOING HERE?

NOTHING.

NOTHING AT ALL.

I JUST--
I OWE YOU FOR LAST WEEK,

FOR SAVING SCOTT...
FOR EVERYTHING.

YOU'RE TRYING TO GET IN
ON THE DYING GUY CASE

WITH THE OTHER DYING GUY
BEFORE BOTH GUYS GET FLUSHED

DOWN THE PROVERBIAL TOILET.
YES. NO. WAIT. WHAT?

YOU'RE AFRAID I'M GONNA DIE.
NO, I'M NOT.

I'M NOT. IN FACT, I WOULD
REALLY, REALLY PREFER IT

IF YOU DIDN'T.
IT'S JUST...

THIS OPERATION, IT'S...

IT'S DANGEROUS.
REALLY DANGEROUS.

SO MAYBE
I AM A LITTLE SCARED.

I MEAN, AREN'T YOU?

TRUTHFULLY?

LIVING OR DYING--
EITHER OF THOSE IS FINE WITH ME.

IT'S THE SOMETHING IN BETWEEN
THAT SCARES ME.

BUT FOR THE RECORD,

DYING IS NOT REALLY
ON MY AGENDA, SO...

OKAY, YOU CAN SECOND CHAIR,
BUT NO SNIFFLING.

OKAY. THANKS.

NO ONE WANTS TO DIE,
BUT I'M GOING TO, REBECCA.

I JUST CHOOSE TO DIE
ON MY OWN TERMS.

BUT WE CHOOSE LIFE, DAVID.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

MOSES' LAST WORDS TO
THE ISRAELITES--"CHOOSE LIFE."

SHE CALLED IT
"THE 11th COMMANDMENT"

IN ONE OF HER SERMONS.

MY WIFE'S A RABBI.
DID I FORGET TO MENTION THAT?

YES, ACTUALLY, YOU DID.

BUT THAT EXPLAINS
THE TALKING TO GOD PART.

JEWS HAVEN'T TALKED TO GOD
SINCE THE BIBLICAL AGE,

AND IN ANY CASE, YOU'D HAVE TO
FIRST BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS.

DAVID DOESN'T.
THAT'S NOT TRUE, REBECCA.

FINE.
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE GOD EXISTS

EXCEPT DURING BASEBALL SEASON.

AS IT TURNS OUT, I WAS DIAGNOSED
DURING BASEBALL SEASON.

I'M HARDLY THE FIRST PERSON TO
FIND FAITH IN TIMES OF CRISIS.

THAT'S A LARGE PART OF WHAT
FAITH IS FOR, ISN'T IT?

WE'RE NOT QUESTIONING
YOUR BELIEF IN GOD,

JUST YOUR BELIEF
THAT GOD SPOKE TO YOU.

I PRAYED, AND I GOT ANSWERS.
HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME

LESS COMPETENT THAN
MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE?
BECAUSE THE ANSWERS YOU GOT

ADVISED YOU TO ABANDON
YOUR CHILDREN.

THEY ADVISED ME
TO DIE WITH DIGNITY.

AND IF THAT'S GOD'S PLAN,
I CAN'T IMAGINE

A GREATER LESSON
TO TEACH MY CHILDREN.

THEY DON'T NEED LESSONS.

THEY NEED THEIR FATHER,
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'VE BEEN CALLING AND CALLING.

WHY? HAS SOMETHING HAPPENED?
THERE'S NOTHING THAT
MAKES ME CRAZIER THAN YOU

NOT ANSWERING
YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN I CALL,

AND I KNOW YOU WERE IN THE CAR.
WELL, I MUST HAVE
HAD IT ON VIBRATE.

WELL, HOW HARD IS IT
TO TURN YOUR RINGER ON?

DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW YOU AROUND
TELLING YOU, "RING, RING,

ELI, SOMEBODY'S CALLING," WHEN
THE PERSON THAT'S CALLING IS ME?

WOW! OKAY!
I'LL TURN MY RINGER ON!

GOOD. AND... YOUR MAMA
DRESSES YOU FUNNY.

OH, THE MEAN THING.

I'D FORGOTTEN
HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT THAT.
JORDAN WANTS TO SEE YOU--

PROBABLY SOME NEW STUPID THING
YOU DID. NOW GET OUTTA HERE!

I CAN'T STAND LOOKIN'
IN YOUR FACE.
THANKS, PATTI.

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE.
THERE HE IS. GO.

GO!
ELI. WALK WITH ME.

UM, SIR, I KNOW I SAID
I WOULDN'T TAKE

ANY NEW CASES BEFORE FRIDAY--
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CASE.

AS W.P.K.'s FORMER
AND CURRENT MANAGING PARTNER--
SPEAKING OF WHICH,

I KNOW I CONGRATULATED YOU
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO,

BUT I'M HAVING THIS WEIRD
DéJà VU-EY KIND OF DAY,

SO IN CASE I DIDN'T,
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.

MAY I CONTINUE?

WHEN YOU WALKED INTO MY OFFICE
EIGHT YEARS AGO,

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW?
A STRAPPING YOUNG LAWYER
WITH A FULL HEAD OF HAIR?

MM. A GREEDY, SELF-RIGHTEOUS
LITTLE SYCOPHANT.

AN ASS.

I AM FLATTERED, SIR.

BUT AS I GOT TO KNOW YOU,
I SAW YOU WERE MORE.

YOU WERE DRIVEN, COMPETITIVE,
AND WHEN I FOUND OUT

YOU WERE DATING MY DAUGHTER,
GOING TO BE MY SON-IN-LAW,

I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER.

YOU WERE THE MAN TO FOLLOW
IN MY FOOTSTEPS, TO TAKE W.P.K.

TO THE PRESTIGIOUS HEIGHTS
I HAD DREAMED OF.

I PUT YOU ON THE FAST TRACK
FOR PARTNER.

BUT THEN YOU GOT
AN ANEURYSM--

AND I CHANGED, I KNOW.
IS THIS LITTLE WALK AND TALK

ABOUT HOW MUCH
I'VE DISAPPOINTED YOU?

SOMETIMES...

YOU ARE STILL AN ASS.

WHAT--WHAT'S GOING ON?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

I PRESENT TO YOU
THE JUNIOR PARTNER

IN CHARGE
OF PRO BONO INITIATIVES--

MR. ELI STONE.

ALL RIGHT!

ME? WHAT? OH, MY GOD.

KUDOS, MAN. YOU DESERVE THIS.

ELI, WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU.

YOU MEAN SO MUCH
TO EVERYONE HERE.

COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
TO A BETTER GUY.

EXCEPT ME, OF COURSE.

ELI, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

OH!

WAIT. I-I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

SIR, UM, BEING PARTNER

MEANS MORE TO ME
THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW,

BUT IF YOU'RE DOING THIS
BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M GONNA DIE

OR AS AN INCENTIVE TO LIVE--

ELI, YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG.

I MADE YOU PARTNER BECAUSE
YOUR COMPASSION CHANGED ME.

PLEASE... WAKE UP.

AND HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
DAVID'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS?

OH. DAVID WAS BORN JEWISH,

BUT HE NEVER HAD
ANY FAITH TO SPEAK OF.

HE ALWAYS SAID
IF I HADN'T BEEN SO PRETTY,

HE WOULD HAVE MARRIED
A SHIKSA.
SO WHEN--
WHEN DAVID SAID THAT GOD

HAD SPOKEN TO HIM...
WELL, AT FIRST
I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE.

NOW I'M CONVINCED IT'S JUST
A SYMPTOM OF HIS DEPRESSION.

DEPRESSION?
WHEN THE COLON CANCER
PROGRESSED,

WHEN DAVID DIDN'T RESPOND
TO THE NEW CHEMOTHERAPY, HE...

HE GREW MORE AND MORE
DESPONDENT, HOPELESS.

HE CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND
NEW FAITH AND HOPE.

WELL, IF THAT WAS THE CASE,
HE WOULDN'T BE GIVING UP.

HE'D FIGHT TO LIVE, TO--
TO SEE OUR CHILDREN GROW UP,

FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN.

THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS.

THANK YOU.

THE GOD
THAT YOU BELIEVE IN.

THE GOD OF THE JEWISH FAITH.

JUDAISM TEACHES
THAT GOD INSTILLED IN US

THE GIFT OF LEARNING.

HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LEARNED
TO EXPAND THE HORIZONS

OF SCIENCE AND MEDICINE
TO CREATE TREATMENTS,

HOWEVER BRUTAL OR DANGEROUS,

WHICH CAN FIGHT DISEASE,
WHICH CAN SAVE OUR LIVES.

THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE
GOD WANTS DAVID TO LIVE--

BECAUSE HE CREATED A WORLD
IN WHICH THERE IS A CHANCE

FOR MY HUSBAND TO SURVIVE.

I JUST WANT HIM
TO TAKE THAT CHANCE...

FOR ME...

AND FOR HIS CHILDREN...

AND FOR HIMSELF.

THAT'S WHY I MARRIED HER.

SHE'S GREAT UNDER PRESSURE,
ISN'T SHE?

SHE'S VERY CONVINCING.

ARE YOU HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS
ABOUT HELPING ME?

WHAT EXACTLY
DID GOD SAY TO YOU?

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

DID--DID YOU, UH,
DID YOU SEE SOMEONE

OR I... HEAR A SONG,
OR...

I CAN'T EXPLAIN.

IT'S NOT LIKE
I HEARD A VOICE, EXACTLY.

IT'S--IT'S MORE LIKE A...

A MOMENT OF...

CLARITY.

AND I FELT CALM.

I HAD PEACE.

THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.

HMM. AND YOU KNOW,
IT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO REBECCA,

AND SHE'S A RABBI.

WANT YOUR OFFICE BACK?

A PARTNER SHOULD HAVE
A BIG, PRIVATE OFFICE

THAT ISN'T A LIBRARY.

HUH. WHO KNEW THAT,
UH, IMMINENT DEATH

COULD BE SO UPWARDLY MOBILE?

YOU KNOW I COULDN'T BE
MORE PROUD OF YOU, RIGHT?

WELL, THAT MEANS A LOT...

ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE YOU'RE ONE
OF THE PEOPLE I TRAMPLED ON

ON MY RUTHLESS CLIMB
TO THE TOP.

I'VE BEEN WANTING
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I SUPPOSE NOW IS
AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY.

YOU'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT
PERSON IN MY LIFE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS CARLO,
THE GUY THAT COLORS YOUR HAIR.

I'M SERIOUS, ELI.

YOU TAUGHT ME ABOUT LOVE...

AND NOT JUST
THE ROMANTIC KIND,

BUT THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING
LIFETIME KIND...

THE KIND THAT SUSTAINS
THROUGH TRAGEDY

AND... TRIUMPH.

THROUGH BREAKUPS...

AND BRAIN SURGERY?

TAYLOR...

I'M GONNA DO MY DARNDEST
NOT TO DIE.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE NOT DEAD, ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE NOT DEAD.

LISTEN TO ME.

I SAID I'D BE THERE FOR YOU
NO MATTER WHAT, ELI,

AND I MEANT IT.

TAYLOR?

HEY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU, TOO.

ARE YOU HANGIN' IN THERE?

ME? YEAH, I'M, UH...

I'M FINE.

THEY WERE ALMOST DONE
WITH THE SURGERY,

JUST ABOUT TO CLIP
THE ANEURYSM.

THOUGHT HE WAS
OUT OF THE WOODS,

AND THEN THERE WAS
A HEMORRHAGE. THEN ANOTHER.

THE ARTERY WALLS WERE WEAKENED

DUE TO PRESSURE
FROM THE ANEURYSM,

AND THE SURGERY
JUST MADE THINGS WORSE.

ELI WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST,

AND THE HEART ATTACK CUT OFF
BLOOD FLOW TO HIS BRAIN.

AND THE ANEURYSM?

IT'S GONE.

BUT...

YOU KNOW,
IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE,

ELI AND I WOULD BE
MARRIED NOW, AND...

I'D BE THE ONE HAVING
TO MAKE THE DECISION TO...

THE DECISION.
ELI ALREADY MADE HIS DECISION.

HE... HE DIDN'T WANT
TO LIVE THIS WAY.

NATE, IT'S EASY TO SAY THAT
WHEN IT'S A HYPOTHETICAL,

BUT WHEN THE WORST
ACTUALLY HAPPENS...

JUST BECAUSE ELI ASKED YOU
TO LET HIM GO...

IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE
TO HONOR HIS REQUEST.

NO.

BUT I HAVE TO HONOR HIM.

I'VE ALREADY LET HIM DOWN,
AND I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN.

I JUST...

I CAN'T.

EVERYTHING'S GOING MY WAY.
I MADE PARTNER--JUNIOR PARTNER.

THEY HAD A CAKE FOR ME--
UH, RED VELVET.
CONGRATULATIONS.

IT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN
WORKING TOWARD FOR YEARS,

AND NOW I HAVE IT.

I EARNED IT.
IT--IT'S JUST...

"FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT
A MAN IF HE SHALL..."

REGAIN THE CORNER OFFICE
AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?

36,
FROM YOUR NEW FAVORITE BOOK.

I HAVE A NEW CLIENT.
HE'S DYING OF CANCER.

HE SAYS
THAT GOD SPOKE TO HIM.

DID HE USE A MUSICAL NUMBER?

NO. HE JUST...
TOOK AWAY HIS BURDENS.

HE FEELS LIKE THIS GREAT WEIGHT
HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM HIM.

MAKES ME THINK.
WHAT HAS GOD DONE
FOR YOU LATELY?

WELL, YEAH. THIS GUY--
HE GRANTS INNER PEACE

AND ME, HE JUST TRIES
TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF.

MAYBE GOD'S SHOWING YOU HIS LOVE
BY SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU.

SO THIS IS
SPIRITUAL CORPORAL PUNISHMENT?

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME
LIKE THAT?

BACK ON THE COMMUNE,
WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE

A PLACE OF HARMONY
AND CONNECTION TO NATURE,

I NEVER FELT CLOSE TO GOD.

THAT'S WHY WHEN
I WENT OUT ON MY OWN,

I IMMERSED MYSELF IN THE STUDY
OF RELIGION--ALL RELIGIONS,

SO THAT I COULD FIND HIM.

FUNNY THING IS, ALL THOSE YEARS
OF SEEKING HIM OUT,

AND HE GOES AND FINDS ME

WHEN HE SENT A SMUG, STUBBORN,
PAIN-IN-THE-REAR LAWYER

RIGHT UP TO MY DOOR.

YOU'VE LIFTED MY BURDENS,
ELI.

NOW YOU'RE DOING IT, TOO.

WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING TO ME
LIKE I'M GONNA...

NATHAN?
CAN I HELP YOU?

ACTUALLY, I'M HERE
TO HELP YOU... HELP ELI.

MAYBE YOU COULD
SAY THAT AGAIN.

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT ELI.

PART OF HIM IS ALIVE.
HE'S STILL IN THERE,

AND I THINK HE'S TRYING
TO GET A MESSAGE OUT.

A MESSAGE? THROUGH A DREAM
TO HIS ACUPUNCTURIST?

TO HIS FRIEND,

TO SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE
MORE OPEN TO THESE MESSAGES.

IF IT HAPPENED TO YOU,
YOU'D THINK IT WAS JUST A DREAM.

WELL, IT HAPPENED TO YOU,
AND I STILL THINK IT.

NO OFFENSE.

HE DOESN'T KNOW THE SURGERY
HAPPENED YET, DR. STONE,

BUT HE'S CLOSE.

TWO WEEKS AGO, I WOULD
HAVE CALLED YOU A QUACK

AND SENT YOU ON YOUR WAY,
BUT NOW...

ELI TOLD YOU THINGS--

THINGS ABOUT YOUR PAST THAT
HE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING.

AND THEN HE PUT ME
IN CHARGE OF HIS D.N.R.

EVEN COMATOSE, HE'S A TOOL.

BUT TODAY I'M SUPPOSED TO
TAKE HIM OFF OF LIFE SUPPORT.

AND I THINK I'M SUPPOSED
TO CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE.

I WANT TO LISTEN.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU.

MORE THAN ANYTHING,
I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT

IF I JUST WAIT LONG ENOUGH,
ELI WILL WAKE UP.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU?

BECAUSE I CAN'T.

BECAUSE I KNOW
HE'S NOT OKAY,

AND HE IS NOT GOING
TO GET BETTER.

MEDICAL SCIENCE
ISN'T EVERYTHING.

IF YOU'VE LISTENED
TO ANYTHING ELI HAD TO SAY,

YOU'D KNOW THAT BY NOW.
THEN... IT'S NOT ABOUT
WHAT I KNOW.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT ELI WANTS,
AND HE WAS VERY, VERY SPECIFIC.

AND IF I START TO SUBSTITUTE
MY NEEDS FOR HIS,

THEN I'M... YEAH.

IT'S LIKE I'M BETRAYING HIM.

WE'RE NOT BETRAYING HIM,
NATE.

THIS IS MY DAD.

WITH ME.

I WORKED FOR HIM.

NO CHANCE
YOU PHOTOSHOPPED THIS?

I CAN BARELY CHECK
MY E-MAIL.

NATE, YEARS AGO,

YOUR FATHER
FORESAW ME HELPING ELI,

AND FINALLY, I-I THINK
THIS IS MY CHANCE TO.

GIVE HIM MORE TIME.

I'LL WAIT 48 HOURS.

BUT IF
ELI DOESN'T WAKE UP--

HE WILL.

THEN I'LL DO MY BEST
TO BELIEVE IN THAT, TOO.

"BE AT PEACE"?

THAT WAS GOD'S MESSAGE TO YOU?
IT'S SO SIMPLE.

I GUESS
THAT'S WHY IT'S DIVINE.

SO CHEMO
COULD EXTEND YOUR LIFE

OR EVEN SAVE IT.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT THAT?

IS YOUR WIFE RIGHT?
ARE YOU DEPRESSED?

NO.

IN FACT, IN SOME WAYS
I'M HAPPIER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.

THIS IS HOW I WANT TO SPEND
MY REMAINING DAYS,

AND ISN'T IT MY CHOICE
TO MAKE?

THANK YOU, DAVID.

WHAT DID GOD SOUND LIKE,
MR. GREEN?

WELL, I-I DIDN'T HEAR A VOICE.

WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T
HEAR A VOICE,

HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE
IT WAS GOD?

A FEELING CAME OVER ME,
AND I CAN'T DESCRIBE

THAT FEELING, THAT SERENITY,
AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN DIVINE.

AND BEFORE THAT,
YOU WERE DESPONDENT?

YEAH.

WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST TIME
THE CHEMO WORKED?

ELATED. WHY?
WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

WELL, ONE MINUTE YOU'RE UP,
THE NEXT MINUTE YOU'RE DOWN.

IS THERE A QUESTION
IN OUR FUTURE?
WELL, I'M JUST WONDERING

IF THIS SERENITY ISN'T JUST
THE LATEST PEAK ON THE RIDE--

THAT YOUR OVERLOADED BRAIN
CREATED A MOMENT OF CLARITY

SO THAT YOU'D JUST LET GO,
AGAINST ALL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

THAT CHEMOTHERAPY, SIR,
CAN, IN FACT, SAVE YOUR LIFE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION

FOR THE BURNING BUSH?

DRY LOCAL FAUNA
UNDER A VOLCANIC FISSURE,

BUT NONE OF US
WERE THERE, REBECCA.

NONE OF US KNOW. HOW CAN
YOU KNOW IT WASN'T DIVINE?

LET ME ENJOY MY LAST MOMENTS
ON THIS EARTH

WITH YOU AND THE CHILDREN.

I'M GOING TO LOSE.

MRS. GREEN, UM,
YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

I'D--I COULD GET SANCTIONED
FOR TALKING TO YOU EX PARTE.

WELL, I WON'T TELL
IF YOU WON'T.

RABBI'S HONOR.

LOOK, I KNOW
I CAN'T CONVINCE A JUDGE

TO SUBSTITUTE DAVID'S JUDGMENT
FOR MY JUDGMENT.

THEN... WHY PUT DAVID
THROUGH THIS?

BECAUSE I DO THINK
I NEED TO CONVINCE DAVID.

I NEED TO CONVINCE HIM
TO KEEP FIGHTING,

AND I NEED YOUR HELP.

RABBI,
HE'S MADE HIS DECISION.

I KNOW YOU, MR. STONE.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE SICK.
YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE

JUST AS MY HUSBAND
SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR HIS.

I KNOW ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE.

I KNOW ABOUT ALL OF IT.

MOSTLY, I KNOW YOU ARE
MORE THAN JUST A LAWYER,

AND I KNOW DAVID CHOSE YOU
FOR A REASON,

AND I BELIEVE THAT REASON
IS FOR YOU TO SHOW HIM

THAT DIFFICULTIES
CAN BE OVERCOME,

THAT FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE
IS WORTH IT.

THE JEWISH TRADITION TEACHES
THAT TO SAVE ONE LIFE...

IS TO SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD.

YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU
THE POWER TO SAVE A LIFE.

I BEG OF YOU...

USE IT.

I THINK
WE CAN WIN THIS CASE.

I THINK I CAN GET THE JUDGE
TO STOP REBECCA

FROM FORCING YOU
TO TAKE THE CHEMO.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT NEWS,
BUT APPARENTLY, NOT TO YOU.

REBECCA CAME TO SEE ME.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS
AGAINST THE RULES.

WELL... SHE'S A RABBI.

WE TALKED.

AND THE THING IS, DAVID,

I... I THINK SHE'S RIGHT.

I THINK YOU SHOULD
WANT TO LIVE...

AND NOT JUST FOR HER
OR FOR THE KIDS,

BUT FOR YOURSELF.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE
ON MY SIDE, ELI?

REBECCA, THE DOCTORS, AND NOW
YOU'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME?

I'M NOT LIKE THEM. I'M--I'M--
I'M MORE LIKE YOU. I...

I BELIEVE
THAT GOD SPOKE TO YOU.

I JUST THINK
THAT YOU HEARD HIM WRONG.

HE SENT YOU A DOCTOR.

HE SENT YOU A RABBI.

AND NOW HE SENT ME.

A DOCTOR, A RABBI, A LAWYER--
SOUNDS LIKE THE START OF A JOKE.

I THINK THAT GOD WANTS YOU
TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE.

I AM.

I'M FIGHTING...

FOR THE LIFE I HAVE NOW.

YOU KNOW,
YOU NEVER ASKED ME

WHAT MY LIFE WAS LIKE
BEFORE CANCER.

WELL, I HAD EVERYTHING.

I HAD A GREAT JOB.

I HAD A GREAT CAR.

I DROVE HOME EVERY NIGHT
TO A GREAT HOUSE

WITH A GREAT WIFE AND KIDS--
EXCEPT I NEVER SAW MY FAMILY.

I WAS ALWAYS AT WORK.
YOU KNOW WHY I-I NEVER WENT

TO REBECCA'S SERVICES
AT THE SYNAGOGUE?

BECAUSE I GOT HOME SO LATE
EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT,

THAT SATURDAY MORNINGS
I WAS TOO EXHAUSTED

TO GET OUT OF BED.

WAS I A SKEPTIC? YEAH.

BUT WHO COULD
BLAME ME THAT...

THAT LIFE
HAD NO MEANING? IT--

SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
I WAS SLEEPWALKING.

DON'T YOU SEE, ELI,
THAT IF I NEVER GOT SICK...

I'D STILL BE ASLEEP?

AND I'M AWAKE NOW.

I HAVE A FULL LIFE NOW.

AND IT'S A LIFE
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE.

AND I OWE IT...

TO THAT MOMENT WITH GOD.

I HAVE A PURPOSE NOW.

THAT'S WHAT
I'M FIGHTING FOR.

THIS CASE IS NOT ABOUT GOD.

THE MERE FACT THAT
DAVID GREEN HAS EMBRACED DEATH

TO SUCH AN EXTREME,

OVER THE PLEAS OF HIS WIFE
AND CHILDREN, IS EVIDENCE ITSELF

THAT HE IS NOT COMPETENT
TO MAKE THIS DECISION.

RABBI GREEN,
HER CHILDREN AND HIS DOCTORS

HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FORCE
THIS MAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

BUT THIS COURT CAN.

AND IT SHOULD.

RABBI GREEN THINKS
THAT THERE IS NO WAY

DAVID COULD HAVE SPOKEN
TO GOD.

WELL, THERE'S NO WAY
TO PROVE THAT HE DID.

BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE
THAT HE DIDN'T, EITHER.

COUNSEL ASKED DAVID TO TELL US
WHAT GOD SOUNDED LIKE.

WHY? I THINK IF WE HAVE FAITH,
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD

SPEAKS TO US EACH
IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

A FEW MONTHS AGO,

I STARTED HEARING
AND SEEING THINGS

THAT INDICATED THE PRESENCE
OF GOD IN MY LIFE.

I TRIED TO FOLLOW
WHAT I THOUGHT GOD WANTED,

AND I PAID THE PRICE.

LOOKING BACK, I THINK

IT'S BEEN THE BEST TIME
OF MY LIFE.

DAVID HAD A FEELING.

I SAW... GEORGE MICHAEL.

IS THAT CRAZY?

IF IT INSPIRES US TO CHANGE
OUR LIVES FOR THE BETTER,

THEN I HOPE--I PRAY...

WE'RE ALL CRAZY.

DAVID WANTS TO LIVE
THE REST OF HIS LIFE

IN A WAY
THAT BRINGS HIM CLOSER TO GOD.

THAT MAY NOT BE
WHAT WE WOULD CHOOSE FOR HIM,

BUT IT'S NOT OUR CHOICE TO MAKE.

IT'S HIS.

TAYLOR?

DAD, HI.

WE SHOULD GET GOING.

YEAH. YES. UM,
JUST GIVE ME A SEC, OKAY?

YOU'RE CRYING.

YEAH. I'M SORRY.
I KNOW YOU HATE CRYING.

HONEY,
I DON'T HATE CRYING.

OKAY, I HATE IT.

BUT THESE ARE DIFFICULT--

MORE THAN DIFFICULT TIMES.

I UNDERSTAND.

NOT EXACTLY HOW
I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO

WHEN I STARTED WORKING HERE.

DO YOU REGRET IT?

NO.
WORKING HERE?

NO.

IT HASN'T BEEN EASY.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

I REALIZE A LOT OF THAT'S
BEEN MY FAULT.

I TAKE IT FROM YOUR SILENCE
YOU AGREE WITH ME.

IT'S OKAY, DAD.

YOU'RE JUST BEING YOU...

MR. DIFFICULT.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I'M TRYING TO NOT
BE MYSELF ANYMORE.

IF ELI WAS...

IF ELI WAS HERE...

I WAS GONNA
MAKE HIM A PARTNER.

I'M STARTING
A PRO BONO PRACTICE.

I'M CHANGING.
THE FIRM IS CHANGING.

I WANT YOU TO BE
AN INTEGRAL PART OF THAT.

PLEASE, HONEY,
STICK WITH ME.

I NEED YOU HERE.

HOW COULD I NOT?

IN RULING
ON MR. GREEN'S COMPETENCE,

I AM NOT UNAWARE
THAT A VERDICT IN HIS FAVOR

MAY WELL SIGN
HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE.

MR. DUPLER USED MR. GREEN'S
ALLEGED CONVERSATION WITH GOD

AS EVIDENCE
THAT HE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE.

MR. STONE WARNED US AGAINST

CALLING FAITH
A FORM OF INSANITY.

BUT IN THE EYES OF THE LAW,

MR. GREEN'S FAITH
IS IRRELEVANT TO THIS CASE.

I MUST CONSIDER HIS DECISION

TO NOT PURSUE
A COURSE OF TREATMENT

THAT WILL MAKE HIM
TEMPORARILY SICKER

BUT WHICH WILL NOT GUARANTEE HIM
A PERMANENT CURE.

FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE,

MR. GREEN'S DECISION
IS PERFECTLY RATIONAL.

THE LAW RESPECTS A DYING MAN'S
WISHES TO KEEP ON LIVING

BY WHATEVER DEFINITION
OF LIVING HE CHOOSES.

THE MOTION TO HAVE DAVID GREEN

DECLARED INCOMPETENT
IS HEREBY DENIED.

CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME
MY LIFE BACK.

GET THE CRASH CART.

NO. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED.

GOOD-BYE, MY LOVE.

SAD TO SAY
THAT I'M STILL AFRAID

BEST-LAID PLANS HAVE GONE
BEFORE THEY'RE MADE

DON'T YOU KNOW
THAT FAILURE'S NOT A FRIEND?

SYMPATHETIC WORDS
WON'T MAKE AMENDS

WALKIN' DOWN
YOUR RIGHTEOUS AVENUE

WON'T BE THERE TO HOLD
YOUR HAND FOR YOU

CAN'T YOU SEE
THAT FAILURE'S NOT A FRIEND?

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.

I... I'VE BEEN WEARING
THE SAME SUIT

AND THE SAME SHIRT AND TIE
FOR DAYS.

I DON'T EVER REMEMBER
GOING HOME

OR HOW I'VE BEEN GETTING
FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

IT'S LIKE I'M SOMEWHERE,
AND THEN I'M SOMEPLACE ELSE.

AND MAKING PARTNER...

AND THE CASE BEING
ABOUT LIVING OR DYING...

THE WAY
EVERYONE'S TREATING ME...

IT'S LIKE...

IT'S LIKE WHAT, ELI?

I ALREADY HAD THE SURGERY,
DIDN'T I?

IT WENT BAD...

LIKE IN THE VISION.

SORRY, BRO.

AM I...

DID I SHOVE OFF?

DOES IT MATTER?

WHAT THE HELL
KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?

I DON'T WANT TO BE DEAD!

THEN DON'T BE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

IT MEANS WHAT IT MEANS.

WOULD YOU JUST STOP BEING
ANNOYING AND ENIGMATIC?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.
I'M NOT REALLY HERE.

NEITHER ARE YOU,
FOR THAT MATTER.

IT'S KIND OF TRIPPY,
ISN'T IT?

YOU COULD LET GO.

NO ONE BLAMES YOU, ELI.

NO ONE'S ANGRY.

THEY'RE SAD...

AND THEY'LL HURT.

THEY'LL HURT
FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT THE WORLD WILL GO ON
WITHOUT YOU, ELI.

THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED
ELI STONE.

UNLESS...

UNLESS?

I HAVE...

YOU CAN SAY IT, ELI.
IT'S OKAY.

I'M SURE IT'S NICE
FOR HIM TO HEAR.

I HAVE MORE TO DO?
I-I HAVE MORE TO DO.

I THINK SO, TOO.

HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?

DO I, UH, TAKE A RED PILL

OR, YOU KNOW,
GET SCOTTY TO BEAM ME UP OR...

HOW ABOUT
RIDING THE NEEDLE?

DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK
IF IT'S TECHNICALLY IMAGINARY?

SHH, SHH, SHH!

YOU LISTEN
TO FIGMENT DR. CHEN!

YEAH.

THANK YOU.

FOR WHAT?
YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF.

I'LL MISS YOU MOST OF ALL,
SCARECROW.

THAT WAS LAME, DUDE.

HELLO?

IS ANYONE THERE?

GEORGE.

UH...

WHAT ARE YOU...

OH, MAN.

ARE YOU GOD?

WELL, SOME MEN HAVE SAID SO.

UM...

I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO GET BACK.

SURE, YOU DO.
YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN.

I HAVE?

BIRDS FLYIN' HIGH,

SUN IN THE SKY

BREEZE DRIFTIN' ON BY
