"Two weeks ago, I had it all:" "Great job, great car, amazing fiancée." "And then George Michael made a guest appearance in my living room." "Worst houseguest ever, by the way." "Turns out, it wasn't George Michael." "According to my brother Nate, it's because I've got an inoperable brain aneurysm." "Bad news, right?" "Well, maybe not." "Like anything, it depends who you ask." "Ask an allegedly mystical, Chinese acupuncturist, it means I could be some kind of modern-day prophet." "Because, hey, if God wants to send a message, who else to send but George Michael?" "Now, my assistant just thinks I'm crazy." "My friend thinks these visions are a sign I need to somehow, change my life and start using my legal skills to make the world a better place." "Blah, blah, blah." "That's what I promised my dad I'd do 20 years ago." "Though he's been dead for ten of them, some promises you have to keep." "Anyway, that's what I'm doing with this coffee can." "See, I promised my dead father, with whom I share the same brain aneurysm and potentially prophetic abilities, that I would dispose of his ashes here in the Himalayas, which I did." "Now, I just wanna bring the can home." "Mules often use coffee to disguise the scent of the drugs they transport." "Yeah, but I'm not even transporting coffee." "See?" "This doesn't look like coffee to me." "No." "No, that would be my dad." "This is crazy!" "That guy, he just got two live chickens through!" "Suspected contraband can't leave the country." "I'm sorry." "I'm not letting you on the plane with that can." "Well, What's-Left-of-Dad, looks like this is goodbye." "Do me a favor, if there really is somebody up there, would you ask them to please leave me alone for this week?" "Better yet, just make it a month." "And please, no more visions." "Eli Stone's office, please hold." " Eli Stone's office, please hold." " Oh!" "Oh, baby, are you OK?" "Stone, Eli's office." "Oh, look, just call me back later!" "Eli Stone's office, I know he's supposed to be back today." "I don't know where he is, but when he gets here I've got dibs on killing him." " Could you sign for this delivery?" " Just put it on the desk." "Yeah, I don't think these are gonna fit." "He better have shipped himself back in one of those." "Hey!" "My crates arrived!" "What did you do, bring back the Great Wall of China?" "I was in the Himalayas." "My trip was great, don't I get a hug?" "You get one at Christmas." "Patti, the grumpier you are, the more I know you missed me." "Here, I brought you a gift." "My boss has a nervous breakdown and all I get is this lousy..." "What is this?" "That is a Saraswati." "The Hindu goddess of wisdom." "How does it work?" "Do I hit you in the head with it and you come to your senses?" "My senses are fine." "They're better than fine." "Two blissful song-free weeks, Patti." "I didn't even hear Muzak in an elevator." "Everything's back to normal and it's gonna stay that way." "Does that mean we're done suing the firm and risking our jobs?" "Yeah." "Even if we weren't, I got a piece of paper saying they can't fire me." "What does the paper say about not firing me?" "I thought so." "Eli Stone's office, please hold." "...pleased to announce we'll be acquiring Hutchins, Wheeler  Dittmar as our new London branch." "Welcome back to Mr. Stone, newly returned from his..." " Nervous breakdown." "... sabbatical." "It's good to be back." "When I say "back," I mean, back in the fullest sense of the..." "No more suing the firm, basically." "And we're all grateful for that." "Next item:" "United States v. Solinsky, et al." "Sir, I found some precedent in the library on point with..." "If you're referring to Allston v. Beckridge, that's a Second Circuit case," "I footnoted it in my pre-trial memo." "You haven't been assigned to this yet, Mr. Dowd." "An encouraging word, that "yet. "" "Yet Mr. Dowd is already extremely busy with Hanson." "Which'll be finished by the time Solinsky starts." "Whereas another associate, better rested, coming off a $5.2 million dollar win..." "True enough." "Mr. Stone, the case is yours." "Come see me in my office later to share your thoughts on it." "Next item:" "Ramirez, et al." "V. Gro Plus Farms?" "Oh, that's, mine, sir." "Maggie Dekker." "It's a workers comp claim I brought in." "Country's third largest food manufacturer." "How did you retain them?" "I haven't." "We'd be representing the workers seeking compensation." "Well, unfortunately, or from my perspective, fortunately, it's policy not to allow first year associates to take on new matters," " so unless..." " I thought this case might be in Mr. Stone's particular wheelhouse." "Unwinnable cases aren't a wheelhouse." "I'll be busy with Solinsky." "Pass." " But I thought..." " I'll pass." "Thanks." "Very well." "Moving on, I understand we've filed a 12-b-six in Dolan." "Let's just be mindful..." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no..." "Make it stop!" "The music, it's back." "Doctor Chen with patient now." "You get manners, come back later." " I need to talk to you now." " Sign outside say "In Session. "" " Not "Eli Bother Dr. Chen All Time!"" " It's important." "Very sorry." "This patient impatient." "You sleep five minute." "Dude, that is so not cool!" "Not cool is hearing a choir during your morning staff meeting." "Makes sense." "Choral music originated with Ambrosian Hymnography in the Fourth Century." "I didn't come here for a theology seminar," "Stick me with a needle, so my life can stop providing its own soundtrack." " What was the choir singing?" " I don't know!" "And I don't care!" "I was supposed to be done with all this." "I took the case, won the case, took my dad's ashes and went to the Himalayas." "Now it's supposed to be over." "I need it to be over." " It doesn't work that way." " How does it work?" "I don't know." "I never had a patient who could be a prophet before." " And stop saying I'm a prophet!" " Well, OK." "But for the record, that's exactly what a prophet might say." "I don't want to be a prophet, OK?" "I want to be a lawyer." "A good one." "The one I used to be." "Now, are you gonna help me or not?" "Just chill." "Do exactly what you did last time." "Follow the signs." "If things get really bad, come see me." "I'll give you a little needle action." "And next time you barge in like that, bro, I'm billing you for the session." "OK." "God." " What is that smell?" " It's the candle." "It's made from yak hooves." "It's supposed to be an aphrodisiac." "Mmm..." "Or not." "Taylor, it's been two weeks since we..." "It's been over two weeks." "Last time it was George Michael interruptus." " He's doing a concert in the Maldives." " Cute." "But we both know George Michael was caused by the brain aneurysm" " we're not talking about." " I'm not talking with anyone." " I'm trying to keep this quiet." " Have you had more episodes?" "What, like hearing a choir?" " Anything." " No." "No episodes." "I'm perfectly fine." "If I engage in strenuous physical activity with you, without a discussion establishing informed consent," "I could be held civilly, or worse, criminally liable for whatever happens." "It turns me on when you talk lawyer-like." " Even more than yak hooves?" " A lot more than yak hooves." "What is it?" "It's nothing." "It's nothing at all." "I'm just so excited to make love to my fiancée, without any musical accompaniment!" "Eli, what's going on?" "It's nothing." "First George Michael and now a boys' choir?" "I'm worried where this might be going." "Less joking, more doctoring." "Out of curiosity, what song were they singing?" "If you must know, Freedom, they were singing Freedom." "So, you're not being chased by George Michael anymore, just his catalog?" "I've got a time bomb in my brain and my brother is making jokes." "Not just making jokes." "I'm sending out your case for consults," "I'm trading e-mails with the Mayo Clinic, Walton Center," " Tiantan Puhua, even." " What do they say?" "Given the location of the aneurysm, surgery is a bad idea." "Define "bad. "" "Loss of motor skills, you could end up a vegetable..." "My odds go up if someone more competent than you performs the surgery?" "Not by much." "Mom told me about the reason for your Himalaya trip, about Dad's ashes." "That was pretty..." "... stupid of you, Eli." "You shouldn't be doing things like that given your medical situation." "Nate do you think there could be some greater significance to me and Dad having the same condition?" "Absolutely." "It's called genetics, dumb-ass." "You also have Mom's eczema and Uncle Gary's terminal lameness." "Please stay off of mountaintops." "Yeah, Stone..." "Eli Stone." "No, Dr. Chen said..." "No, no, I don't have an appointment." "I'm trying to make one." "No, do you..." "I'll you call back." "Are you all right?" " What the hell happened to you?" " It's a long story." "Check to see if anyone saw a biplane flying around downtown today and get me a list of all the boys' choirs in Northern California." "And which matter should I bill this time to?" " Special Projects." " Special Projects." " Like planning your engagement party?" " Just like that." "At least I understand what I'm doing with the party." "But choirs and biplanes?" " Why am I doing this?" " Not quite sure yet." "Excuse me, Mr. Stone?" "I'm only five years older than you." "Stop calling me Mr. Stone." "I lean on formality when someone doesn't know who I am." "I know you, first year associate." "You said your name yesterday." "It's Mary." " It's Maggie, actually." " I was kidding." "I recognize your name from the e-mails about the Gro Plus case." "You are the reason they invented spam blockers." " Did you read them?" " I skimmed the first one." " I deleted the 49 others." " Well, here." "Try a hardcopy." " Does the case get better on paper?" " The case is open and shut." "The pesticide Gro Plus uses on it's farms made our client sterile." "First of all, we don't have any clients, so there is no "our. "" "Secondly, the only illegal alien that a jury sympathizes with is E.T." "And maybe Alf." "Being farmhands doesn't automatically make them illegal aliens." "Oscar and Blanca came to this country and bought into the American dream wholeheartedly." " Which explains the lawsuit." " But it's a legit claim." "There's evidence linking chlorophosphate with reproductive problems." "These people are the tip of a very large iceberg." "Half the workers on Gro Plus's farms are experiencing health problems, impaired vision, bronchial infections..." "None of which is relevant to a claim of sterility." "Look, you want my advice?" "Tell our non-clients to quit their jobs and adopt." "You're a gifted trial lawyer, Eli." "Your work on the Beutel trial confirmed that which I've long suspected." " I have a professional death wish?" " You're a phenomenal talent." "But yes, your recent behavior has been the cause of some concern." "It's recent, sir, but temporary." "That's what I wanted to hear." "Solinsky is one of the most significant trials this firm has the good fortune to handle in years." "Well, you're giving it to the right associate, sir." "Good." "So... your thoughts?" "Firstly, I noticed that you're preparing a motion" " to strike time-barred claims." " Yes." "Martin Posner's been drafting the brief himself." "I think it's a loser no matter who drafts it." " You're suggesting a motion in limine." " It'll not only be more effective, it'll get filed closer to the start of the trial, so we will catch the other side off guard." "Eli?" " Sir, you should get down!" " Get what?" "Get down!" " Eli?" " Sir, I can explain." " I'd like that very much." " There was a glare on the building, and it looked like there was something flying towards the..." "Oscar Ramirez..." " Oh, my God." "He's a pilot." " Who's a pilot?" "Do you mind if we can continue the Solinsky discussion in a week?" " A week?" " There's a case I have to lose first." "Those for trial, or are you planning a wedding?" "Trial binders:" "Pleadings, precedent, deposition transcripts, scientific studies color-coded and cross-indexed." "You got permission to take the case yesterday." "How'd you get that done?" "I figured I'd get permission eventually, I've been working weekends." "You're supposed to work for the firm on cases that aren't dead-bang losers." "For a guy who's coming off a huge win, you don't have much confidence." "Don't mistake a grip on reality for lack of confidence." "There are causation, proof, and contributory negligence problems." "Gro Plus is gonna say the Ramirezes are to blame for Blanca's sterility?" " No." "I know that's for sure." " Oh." "So you didn't wear the safety mask provided by Gro Plus?" "I didn't have to." "I flew the plane which sprayed the pesticide." "I'm not the one who was hurt." "My wife was." "Object to the answer as non-responsive." "To the term "hurt," to the speculation." "Move to strike, ask to instruct the witness." "Object to all the objections, Your Honor." "Just get on with it, boys." "What about the safety lectures Gro Plus held?" " How many did you and your wife attend?" " None." "Had you attended, you might've picked up a tip or two about the safety mask?" "Pass the witness." " What is this, Mr. Ramirez?" " It's a bandana." " And what does Gro Plus call it?" " A "safety mask. "" "Does that make the safety lectures a company-wide knitting circle?" " Do I even have to object?" " Move it along, counsel." "Gro Plus only has these lectures to protect themselves." " Objection." "Speculation." " Sustained." "Mr. Ramirez, I think the point is, if you and your wife knew the pesticide was dangerous, why you weren't more careful?" "We tried to protect ourselves against the pesticide." "But what we should've been protecting ourselves against was Gro Plus." "Pass the witness." "All these other supposedly barren, allegedly heartbroken people," " why didn't they join your lawsuit?" " They don't live here legally." "They didn't go to a notario and sign the papers." "They are afraid of deportation." "All this is just you being charitable, Mr. Ramirez," " standing up for the disenfranchised." " That's what people do in America." "They stand up for what is right." "I'm concerned about Eli." "I'm hearing some rumors of erratic behavior on his part." " Is he all right?" " He's fine." "He tried to tackle me yesterday." "I'm worried about him, sweetheart." " Do you know why?" " Something about a glare." "So... is everything OK with Eli?" "Everything's perfectly fine, Dad." "Yes?" "This is regarding the Berkman anti-trust case." "Could we take a rain check on lunch?" "Always." " Bye, Dad." " Bye, sweetie." "Yeah." "Hey, Patti." "Eli's not back from court yet, is he?" "Not yet, no." "He's probably out looking for choirs or biplanes" " or Huey Lewis." " What?" "Don't worry about it." "Par for the course around here." "What happened?" "Chip a nail?" "Your roots starting to grow out again?" "Look, Patti, I don't know why I've always rubbed you the wrong way, but I know I do." "It's just, given everything that's happened to Eli," " I think we should be uniting." " I'll be the first to admit" "Eli's acting like he's been free-basing copier toner, but maybe you're overreacting." "If I can't overreact to a brain aneurysm, what can I overreact to, right?" "Well, that's a good point." " Thanks, Patti." " Sure." "No problem." "This is good, right?" "First day of trial, he already wants to settle." "We don't know that's what he wants." "So, poker face, OK?" " OK." "Yeah." " OK." "What are you offering?" "I mean, whatever it is, it better be good." "Oh, it's very good." "You dismiss the case, with prejudice." " And?" " No "and. "" "Isn't there usually an "and?"" "What my associate means is, the defense will offer a financial incentive for a dismissal." "In this case, the incentive would be un-financial." "Mmm." "Like a lifetime supply of Gro Plus canned goods?" " Like avoiding deportation." " Even under the current administration," "I doubt Homeland Security can deport American citizens." "See, now that's the ironic thing." "This morning, Mr. Ramirez testified he and his wife had both been naturalized by someone called a notario." "Now, most of these notarios are notorious for not having naturalized anybody." "They collect their fee, have the clients sign some bogus papers, at the end of the day, said clients are about as American as Kim Jong-il." "Bottom line, your clients were duped." "Even so, it'll take months before Immigration moves on this." "Homeland Security seems to find a reason to speed things along when the immigrant in question is a pilot with access to a plane." "Your blackmail, excuse me, offer, is rejected." "I'll see you in court." "But we are Americans." "We passed the test." "We answered all the questions." "We were so proud." "We saluted the flag, the notario even had us swear on a Bible." "Yeah, he should've been the one to do that." "I think they would be arresting this man, not deporting us." "They're going to be doing both." "But I'm going to fight the deportation." "The problem is, I have to do it right now." "Then, who's gonna represent us in the trial?" "Wait, Eli." "I'm not ready for this." "I can't be in two courtrooms at the same time." "At least this case, you know." "Just go in there, make a stupid motion, and run out the clock." " A stupid motion?" " Yes, you should be good at that." "Now just wait a minute." "I almost got it." "They make it so darn difficult for these to operate." "Can I..." "Hmm." "Let the record show that the counselor is good at electronics." "Your Honor, Oscar and Blanca Ramirez are..." " We haven't heard from Immigration." " The respondents are not wrongdoers." "They acted in what they thought was compliance with the law." "I presided over a case in which the defendant thought he was Batman." " It didn't make it so." " Your Honor, you can't deport citizens because of someone else's fraud." "They're not law-abiding citizens or they wouldn't be in the country illegally." "Unless you show cause why the defendants shouldn't be deported..." " I can show cause, Your Honor." " Great." "Now would be the time." "I just..." "I can't do it this particular minute." "My cause isn't here." " I need a continuance." " We just started." "Forty-eight hours, judge, then I'll be right back here with my cause." "Forty-eight hours." "Mrs. Ramirez, tell us how you first learned that you were infertile." " Objection." " In the form of a question, counsel." "Right." "Like Jeopardy." "You and your husband visited a fertility doctor, did you not?" "The doctor, he did some tests." "And he said that it was my fault." "And you blame the pesticide used on Gro Plus's farm." "Isn't that right?" "Yes, other women I work with, they can't have children." "And we all work in the fields." "And when we go home, we can smell the chemicals." "They're on our clothes, and we can taste it in our mouths." "Where did you meet your husband?" "At Gro Plus, on the farm." "So it stands to reason that there was never a time when you and your husband were trying to get pregnant before you went to work for Gro Plus." "Hang on." "Step back through, sir." "Check your pockets again." "Sorry." "I thought I had all of it..." " Come on through, sir." " OK." "Well, Mrs. Ramirez?" "Isn't it possible you were infertile before you were exposed to the pesticide on the farm?" "No, I'm sure that it's not." " You've tried to get pregnant before?" " No, I haven't tried." "So how do you know?" "Objection, Your Honor." "To his tone." "I don't like his tone." "Overruled, Miss Dekker." "Continue." "Mrs. Ramirez," "I doubt you'd been to a fertility clinic before you met your husband." "This is your first marriage." "How can you be sure that you weren't infertile before?" "I know that I could have babies before." "He doesn't know, does he?" "Who doesn't know what?" "I mean, objection!" "Who doesn't know what?" "I..." "I had a baby before I met Oscar." "And I gave him up for adoption." "Oscar, I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry I never told you before." "If you could deceive your own husband, Mrs. Ramirez, how is this jury to know you're not deceiving them?" "What'd I miss?" " Can I talk yet?" " No." " Now?" " Not yet." "I left you to deal with the fallout from Maggie Screw-up Number One," "I told you to stall!" "If the judge told you to stop stalling," " I told you to start objecting!" " I did!" "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "Before the Ramirezes met you, they were happily married American citizens." "Now they're neither." "OK, deportation aside, this is good for us, isn't it?" "It's evidence that Blanca had no problem conceiving before working for Gro Plus." "It would have been good if we knew ahead our infertile client was a mommy!" "Now, all the jury sees is a liar." "Juries don't give money to liars." "She didn't even tell her husband!" "How was I to know?" "You're expected to find out." "Now I'm going to lose two cases." "I promised the judge proof our clients are legal, which is gonna be hard to produce since they're not." "You're yelling about malpractice after you lied to a judge?" "I wouldn't have lied if you hadn't gotten me in this in the first place." "There's two kinds of lawyers, Maggie." "Good lawyers and there's bad lawyers." "And a bad lawyer with good intentions is still a bad lawyer." "I may be a bad lawyer, but I'll get better." "You'll always be a jerk." "There's 53 boys' choirs in Northern California?" "This is gonna take forever." "Do me a favor." "Find out which ones wear red and white." "Sure thing, boss." "Wait a second." "I've got a mom and a fiancée." "I know that tone." " What did I do?" " You didn't do anything." "You didn't say anything, either." "Patti, I'm having a very bad day here, the new "bad" that I've been working with lately." "Eight years we've been together, Eli." "My daughters call you uncle." "When my husband left me, when my father passed away, you were the first call I made." "You have a brain aneurysm and I have to find out about it from Malibu Barbie?" " She told you?" " She thought I knew." "And for the life of me, I can't figure out why I didn't." "Eli, I thought you trusted me." "I do." "I do trust you." "I just, the more people I tell, the more real it becomes." "Eli, I'm not people." "Are you going to die?" "Eventually." "Just not anytime soon, I hope." "Well, you keep anything else from me, and that's gonna change." "I didn't mean to tell her." "I thought she already knew." " No else can find out, OK?" "No one." " If you mean my father," "I didn't say anything." "I would never do that to you." "Because I can't lose my job on top of everything else." "They can't fire you for having an aneurysm." "You think I could keep my insurance with this?" "No insurance means no license and no license means no job." "Except for the last 48 hours, I like my job." " What's happened in the last 48 hours?" " What difference does it make?" "You won't talk about your condition, won't talk about work..." "You're acting erratically and every time I reach out to you to see what's wrong, to see if I can help," " you push me away." " I just want things to be normal." "Have they been normal?" "Or have you, I don't know, tried to tackle anyone lately?" " That was a misunderstanding." " Really?" "You haven't had any more episodes?" "Any?" "Look I admit that when we found out about the aneurysm," "I reacted horribly." "But I want to be there for you now." "I'm ready to be." "Why won't you let me?" "I know you need to talk about this." "But right now, I really need to not talk about it." "And since I'm the guy with the aneurysm..." "You might have the aneurysm, Eli." "But you're not the only one who has to live with it." "Has the jury reached a verdict?" "We have, Your Honor." "In the matter of Ramirez v. Gro Plus Foods Incorporated, we find in favor of the defendant, Gro Plus Foods." "How you doing, Oscar?" "My wife had another man's baby." "I've had better days." "She got pregnant before she met you." "Right after she came to America." "She left the baby in a church." "She didn't name him." "Are you judging her for that?" "No." "She was young and scared." "But she wasn't young and she wasn't scared when she decided not to tell me she'd been a mother." "I'll give you the young part, but I think she was very scared." "I recently found out some things about myself." "And I've had a hard time talking to people about it, particularly to the people I'm closest to." "Sometimes the closer you are to someone, the harder it is to tell them your secrets." " That doesn't make it right." " No, it doesn't." "It just makes it human." "You should get some sleep tonight, Mr. Stone." "Tomorrow's the big one, huh?" "I like this country." "I hate to have to leave." "No pressure there, Oscar." "Mr. Stone, given your proximity," "I'm assuming there's something you wanted to say to me?" "I love the tie, sir." "I was just wondering the make?" " Armani." " Oh." "Is that it?" "Or have you given more thought to our conversation?" "I did give it some thought, sir, and I think it needs another day of thought." "I followed the signs." "All it's gotten me is two clients who are gonna get deported, and a case I lost." "You lost one of them." "Not the big one." "Everybody needs to stop calling tomorrow "the big one. "" "I'm just saying, maybe you took the pesticide case so you'd be the attorney for the immigration one." "Well, if this choir's supposed to give me a clue as to how to help them, then God needs to be a little less oblique." "You're not gonna win every case, Eli." "You probably won't win most of them." "I sense another use of the P-word coming." "Most prophets worked for social justice, but didn't achieve it in their lifetime." "Oh, that's great, so when I die, they're gonna win on appeal?" "I'm getting the ass-end of this arrangement, man." "Could be worse." "You could've spent ten hours hidden in the back of a flat bed truck to come and get a job for three dollars an hour, picking strawberries in the 90 degree sun, 12 hours a day." "Turns out the pesticide the farm used made you infertile, but that's the least of your worries." "That citizenship test you took was a fraud, so they're going to deport you to the country you risked everything to leave." "You know, you may just have written my closing for me." "As soon as I can get this damn thing working the record will reflect that..." "The rec..." "Ah!" "The record will reflect that the respondents are present." "I hope your evidence of citizenship is present as well, counselor." "They're one and the same, Your Honor." "And if you'll permit me to call Oscar Ramirez to the stand," " I can produce that reason." " You told me you could show cause why the respondent shouldn't be deported." "And I can, Your Honor." "Mr. Ramirez, how many amendments to the Constitution are there?" "Twenty-seven." "How many congressmen in the House of Representatives?" " 435." " Objection." "See how easy that was?" "Your Honor, these questions are taken directly from the USCIS's Naturalization Exam." "But I'm not administering this test now." "But could you take it?" "What are the voting rights amendments?" "Fifteen, 19, 24, and 26." "The Twenty-Sixth Amendment says no state or government can deny a person of 18 years of age, or older, the right to vote." " Some states could allow..." " Start telling me how this is relevant or you're in contempt." "These questions are our standard of naturalization." "After a candidate has been fingerprinted and photographed, after they've completed a naturalization application and interview, and after they've been sworn under oath." "Yeah, that definitely would have been easier." "Instead, they doused themselves with water so they wouldn't dehydrate when crammed into a hidden compartment of a truck." "They didn't do it so they could pick strawberries." "They did it because they believed in America." "In Russia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we're seeing first hand, the seeds of democracy, they don't grow on every patch of Earth." "The freedom we have here is unique." "It's special." "And Oscar and Blanca Ramirez, they were willing to risk their lives for it." "I'm not saying citizenship should be a prize for making it over the border, and I'm not saying that illegal immigration isn't a major issue facing this country, but Oscar and Blanca Ramirez are not a policy they're people." "And if this truly is the "home of the brave,"" "then they're just as American as anyone in this room." "Two years?" "What does that mean?" "You have two years to complete the naturalization process." "No deportation?" " No deportation." " Welcome to America." " Thank you." " Congratulations." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "So do you guys have any plans?" "I'm going to find my son." "No." "We're going to find our son." "We'll start with the church, we're hoping they can tell us if he's adopted." "Thank you, Mr. Stone." "Thank you, Maggie." "You're welcome." "We're citizens..." "The church." "That's it." "Blanca!" "Wait!" "This is a list of churches in Roseville, a town outside Sacramento, there's one called St. Anthony's." "Now, there's a boys' choir there, about 30 kids." "Their vestments are red and white." "You might want to start there." " Why do you say that?" " It's a very long story." "But just trust me on this one, OK?" "Gracias." "Did you lose your other case yet?" "Lost part, won part, actually." "But, it did make me realize that I can't take on Solinsky right now." "So we're back to tilting at windmills again." "Is that it?" "I just think the the way I play the game, the legal game, has got to change." "Change." "How?" "Well, for one thing, I can't spend all my time trying cases like Solinsky." "Supreme Court-bound cases of national notoriety?" "I can't spend 70 hours a week making rich people richer." "I need to stay free and open and like a tree in the wind and all that Eastern stuff." "Like a tree in the wind." "I'm sure you think me a cold businessman, Eli." "A senior partner who's only interested in the billable hours of one of his senior associates." "But, my "investment" in you hasn't been financial." "I'm not talking about my daughter." "I hired you." "I mentored you before you even met Taylor." "I didn't assign you Solinsky because you got the better of Matt Dowd in a staff meeting." "I assigned you that case because I've always thought you were the future of this firm." "My firm, that I've spent over 30 years building." "And I thought that's what you wanted, too." "I did, but..." "OK, then." "I respect that." "Personally, I'm curious to see how you adjust to your new lifestyle." "I'm not sure I follow, sir." "Well, Don Quixote gave up nearly all his land so he could afford his books on chivalry." "I'm wondering, Eli, what will you give up?" "Good night." " Good night, Patti." " Night." " We're OK, right?" " I'm OK." "You have a hole in your head." "Yeah, let's keep that between ourselves, OK?" "It's not Christmas." "Do I have you to thank for this?" "This is Kali." "The Hindu goddess of annihilation." "The Hindus don't have a goddess of malpractice." "Don't worry, the next time we get you into court, you'll do better." " There's gonna be a next time?" " If you don't mind working with a jerk." "I had to leave my coffee can in India." "The can had sentimental value, but I couldn't get it through customs." "Why are you telling me this?" "I'm trying to tell you things..." "start telling you things." "The other night, I saw a choir by the couch." "A boys' choir, but I don't think that's relevant and I tackled your dad because" "I was getting chased by a biplane." "This is..." "It's a lot like your dad." "That couldn't have been easy to tell me that." " What?" "What are you looking at?" " Just a certain yak hoof candle." "Apparently it's supposed to be an aphrodisiac." " What is it?" " Uh..." "There's gunfire." " But no singing?" " Uh..." "Nope." "So this is progress."
