IF WE CLOSE OUR EYES,
PERHAPS WE CAN SMELL CEDAR,

BLACK CURRANT AND, UH, OOH,

A HINT OF MOSS?

SORRY. I HAD NO IDEA
IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS DRY.

THE WINE OR THE LECTURE?

YOU THERE,
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT

TO SHARE WITH THE REST
OF THE CLASS?

JUST HOW MUCH WE LOVE
THIS ZINFANDEL,

PARTICULARLY
THE... MOSSINESS.
MM.

I'M GLAD YOU APPROVE.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON
TO THE CABERNET.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
THE ACIDITY IS MORE MODEST.

TASTES A LITTLE ARROGANT
TO ME.

IS THERE SOMETHING AMUSING
ABOUT THE CABERNET?

NO. I'LL BUY A CASE.
TWO CASES.

WHAT THE HELL.
HOW MUCH FOR EVERYTHING?

SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE?
HE WAS GONNA HAVE US ARRESTED.

PERHAPS IF YOU WEREN'T
ALWAYS GETTING US IN TROUBLE.

NOT ALWAYS.

ON SATURDAY YOU GOT US
THROWN OUT OF THE MUSEUM.

WELL, WHY HAVE
A BIG BED LIKE THAT

IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE
TO TEST IT OUT?
IT BELONGED TO QUEEN VICTORIA.

YOU DIDN'T ALSO
BUY THE MUSEUM, DID YOU?

I DID THINK ABOUT IT.

WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT JUST
TO DO IT WITH YOU ON THAT BED.

TOO FORWARD?
I LIKE FORWARD.

TRUTH BE TOLD, THESE LAST
THREE DATES HAVE BEEN

AN EXERCISE IN NOT RIPPING
YOUR CLOTHES OFF.
WELL,
WHAT'S BEEN STOPPING YOU?

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE WE KNOW
EACH OTHER ALL THAT WELL.

SO WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?

PARIS AND GENEVA.

FIRST PET?

UH, CHEWBACCA.
MM-HMM.

HE WAS A GOLDFISH.
FIRST, UH, BOYFRIEND?

XAVIER SMITH, A DUKE.

A DUKE?

OH, YEAH, OR A VISCOUNT.
DON'T GET TOO INSECURE.

HE STUNK IN BED.

COLLEGE?

SARAH LAWRENCE, B.U.,

JOHNSON & WALES...
MM.

EMERSON,

A SEMESTER AT SEA.

I GET RESTLESS.

YOU?

U.C.L.A., STANFORD LAW.

OOH, SMARTY-PANTS. SEXY.

IF YOU WANT ME, BABY

COME OVER HERE AND LET ME
TAKE YOU BY THE HAND

...FULLY SOLAR-POWERED
AUTOMOBILE

COMBINING ALL OF THE QUALITIES
YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT

FROM ZYRE--SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY,
UNPARALLELED LUXURY.

THE HELIOSPY ZYRE--
NEW FOR 2049.

STEP INTO THE LIGHT.

...HOW A SINGLE INVENTION
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD,

THAT SHE WOULD BE THE ONE
TO GIVE US

THE GREATEST INVENTION
OF THE 21st CENTURY--

COLD FUSION,
THE MIRACLE THAT GIVES US

SAFE, RENEWABLE, WASTE-FREE
NUCLEAR ENERGY.

TODAY I HAVE THE HONOR
OF ANNOUNCING

THIS YEAR'S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE--

MY FRIEND, OUR INSPIRATION--

GENNY CLARKE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT?

I'M, UH...

I'M CLAPPING... AT YOU,

'CAUSE...
'CAUSE YOU LOOK SO GOOD.

20 IN THE MORNING
WITH NO MAKEUP?

YEAH. YOU LOOK AMAZING.

I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, ONE OF
THE TOP TEN NIGHTS OF MY LIFE.

CHEN?
WHICH PART OF "WAITING ROOM"

YOU NO UNDERSTAND?

VERY SORRY. THIS PATIENT
HAVE PROBLEM WITH BRAIN.

IT'S BROKEN,
AND DR. CHEN CAN NO FIX.

WHAT THAT?

THEY WERE GIVING AWAY
FREE CHAI LATTES

AT THE EASTERN WELLNESS CLINIC
DOWN THE BLOCK. YOU WANT SOME?
WAS IT CROWDED?

YEAH.
DR. LEE
PROBABLY USING TWO-FOR-ONE DEAL

ON ANCIENT CHINESE MEDICINE.
WHO'S DR. LEE?

HACK. NO MORAL FIBER. WE STUDY
UNDER NURHACHI TOGETHER.

NURHACHI,
THE DARK ARTS GUY?

SAY IT
A LITTLE LOUDER, WHY DON'T YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE ANYWAY?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU
FOR THE ASHLEY INTRODUCTION.

SHE'S AMAZING.
YOU GOT LAID.

ABOUT TIME, BRO.

THANKS. I MEAN,
IT'S PRETTY GREAT.

I--FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE

THE SOLD-OUT GEORGE MICHAEL
CONCERT IN MY LIVING ROOM,

I'M A REGULAR GUY.
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT
YOU'RE NOT.

I KNOW.
HEY, A WOMAN FROM THE FUTURE

GOT GIVEN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT TODAY.

I GOT PATTI
RESEARCHING IT ALREADY.

I JUST--I WANTED
TO SAY THANK YOU.

I OWE YOU ONE, YEAH.

YOU CAN PAY DR. CHEN BACK

BY MAKING APPOINTMENT
FOR CHANGE!
YEAH.

HEY! HOW'S IT GOING FINDING

FUTURE NOBEL LAUREATE
GENNY CLARKE?
ABOUT HOW YOU'D EXPECT
IT TO GO WITH 29 GENNY,

JENNIFER AND J. CLARKES
ALL IN THE BAY AREA.

THAT'S 29 UNBELIEVABLY AWKWARD
PHONE CALLS.

LET ME NARROW IT DOWN FOR YOU.
UH, GENNY WOULD BE

IN HER EARLY 20s
AND SOME SORT OF PHYSICIST.

OH, THAT NARROWS IT
RIGHT DOWN.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY, PATTI.
THAT COLOR S-SUITS YOU.

OH!

YOU FINALLY
GOT YOURSELF SOME.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D
TAKEN A VOW OF CHASTITY.

JUST FIND GENNY FOR ME,
OKAY?

HE GOT HISSELF SOME.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT MY OFFER?

MM-HMM, FOR A FULL
THREE SECONDS.
DADDY.

YOU'RE NOT ASKING
FOR A PONY, TAYLOR.

NO AMOUNT OF "DADDY"
CAN CONVINCE ME

TO LET YOU REPRESENT ME
IN MY DIVORCE.

I'D SOONER REPRESENT MYSELF
THAN LET MY DAUGHTER

SUE HER OWN STEPMOTHER.
AT LEAST THEN YOUR ATTORNEY
WOULD BE DISCREET.

LOOK, I DON'T THINK
YOU WANT EVERYONE KNOWING

HOW MUCH THE NEW FIRM
IS COSTING YOU PERSONALLY.
DIANE CUTHBERT IS
THE VERY SOUL OF DISCRETION.

AND I'VE BEAT HER IN COURT
AT LEAST SIX TIMES.

LOOK, I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO PLAY
THIS CARD, BUT I'M STARVING,

AND I'M MOODY,

AND MY PANTS ARE BEING HELD
TOGETHER BY A RUBBER BAND.

NOW YOU CALL DIANE
AND TELL HER I'M TAKING OVER,

OR NO BABY PICTURES FOR YOU.
OKAY. CALM DOWN.

THAT'S RIGHT, DAD.
FEAR THE HORMONES.
ELI, IS THERE A NOBEL PRIZE
IN GOOGLING?

YOU FOUND HER?
JENNIFER ANN CLARKE GOT
HER DEGREE IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

AT PRINCETON.
I'M NOT LICENSED
TO PRACTICE LAW IN NEW JERSEY.

YOU SURE
THERE'S NO ONE LOCAL?

WELL, THERE'S A GENNELLE CLARKE
LIVING IN PLAINVIEW,

BUT SHE'S NOT
EXACTLY A PHYSICIST.

SHE'S A COLLEGE DROPOUT
WHO WORKS AT THE WORKBENCH,

THE HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE.
MM!

MAYBE I HAVE THE WRONG ADDRESS.
I'M LOOKING FOR GENNY CLARKE.

WHAT, AM I LATE ON
MY NETFLIX BILL OR SOMETHING?

NO, I...

IS THERE ANY REASON THAT, UH,
YOU MIGHT NEED AN ATTORNEY?

ASIDE FROM SOME DORKY GUY
IN A SUIT HARASSING ME?

RIGHT.

OKAY. UH, LOOKS LIKE
I'M ON MY WAY TO NEW JERSEY.

SORRY TO TROUBLE YOU.

OH, MY GOD. WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

GENNELLE CLARKE?
TOMMY LEE JONES?

PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST,
MS. CLARKE.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO AN ATTORNEY.
SHE HAS ONE. IT'S ME.
WHAT'S SHE BEING CHARGED WITH?

ALLEGED TERRORIST ACTIVITY.
WHAT?

COME ON.
SHE DOESN'T EXACTLY LOOK
LIKE JOHN WALKER LINDH.

THAT DIDN'T STOP HER
FROM BUILDING A NUCLEAR BOMB

IN HER BACKYARD.

THANKS FOR COMING.

HEY, NO PROBLEM.
I WAS JUST THINKING

HOW MY DAY COULD USE
A GOOD BODY CAVITY SEARCH.

WHAT'S THIS?

I THOUGHT WE REPRESENT
A TERRORIST.
ACCUSED TERRORIST, FALSELY.

THE F.B.I. FOUND SOME
NUCLEAR MATERIALS AT HER HOME.

WHAT?
ALL LEGAL PURCHASES FROM
A PLACE CALLED THE WORKBENCH.

SO WHAT, YOU GET A 10% EMPLOYEE
DISCOUNT ON YELLOWCAKE URANIUM?
HILARIOUS.

LET'S SEE. UH,
"SHE HAD IN HER POSSESSION

HUNDREDS OF SMOKE DETECTORS,
GLOW-IN-THE-DARK CLOCKS."
NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT THAT.

"MOST HAD BEEN DISSECTED
OF THEIR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS."

THAT'S ILLEGAL.
THROW IN A CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING

TO BUILD A WEAPON
OF MASS DESTRUCTION,

AND I THINK SHE'S RELOCATING
OFF THE COAST OF CUBA.

I WAS NOT BUILDING A BOMB.
WE KNOW. YOU'RE WORKING ON

DEVELOPING A SAFE FORM
OF NUCLEAR ENERGY...

COLD FUSION.

COLD FUSION?

THAT'D BE PRETTY MAJOR.

SO MAJOR THAT
WHOEVER WAS WORKING ON IT

PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

OR THEY'RE A WHACK JOB, WHICH IS
WHY THEY'RE WORKING IN A SHED

INSTEAD OF A LAB
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HE'S RIGHT, WHICH MEANS
YOU'LL HAVE TO TESTIFY.

SURE, I'LL TESTIFY...
WHEN PIGS CAN FLY FASTER

THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT--
IN EFFECT, SLOWING TIME

SO THAT WHEN
THEY RETURN TO EARTH,

THEY'LL FIND OUT THAT HELL
HAS FROZEN OVER.

OUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.

BY OTTERS?
SEA OTTERS.

THIS IS THE PERFECT CHARITY
FOR YOU TO CHAMPION.

LOOK, AREN'T THEY CUTE?

THE POPULATION'S
BEEN DECLINING FOR YEARS.

MANY BLAME THE OIL POLLUTION.
SO IT'S GREAT P.R. FOR YOU TO--

I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN P.R., MAGGIE.

ALL I WANT IS TO TAKE SOME
OF THE MONEY MY FATHER MADE

FROM RAPING THE ENVIRONMENT
AND GIVE IT BACK

TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

I DIDN'T KNOW
ENVIRONMENTAL RAPE WAS FUNNY.

A TEXT MESSAGE
FROM THIS GUY I'M DATING.

WANTS TO TAKE ME TO DINNER
TONIGHT. LET ME JUST...

UH, SO, MAGS, YOU KNOW
HOW YOU USED TO WORK

AT WETHERSBY, POSNER & KLEIN

BEFORE IT WAS
JUST POSNER & KLEIN?
YEAH.

DID YOU KNOW THIS GUY THERE--
ELI STONE?
OF COURSE. WHY?

HE'S THE GUY I'M DATING.

THAT'S GREAT. SO GREAT.

NO, HE--HE'S GREAT.

ARE YOU GUYS, UM, SERIOUS?

PLEASE. I DON'T EVEN COMMIT
TO A PAIR OF SHOES

FOR MORE THAN A MONTH.

I DON'T DO SERIOUS.
BUT HE'S FUN...

OR WAS FUN
UNTIL THIS MORNING.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SO I'M FAST ASLEEP.

AT YOUR HOUSE? BY YOURSELF?

HIS. WHEN I HEAR THIS CLAPPING
FROM THE TERRACE.

I GO OUT, AND THERE'S ELI
IN HIS UNDERWEAR APPLAUDING.

NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG.

I'M GOOD IN BED,

BUT I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN
A STANDING OVATION BEFORE.

MAYBE... IT WAS--

A SIDE EFFECT OF HIS ANEURYSM?
HE TOLD YOU THAT?

MAGGIE, IT WAS ALL OVER
THE LOCAL NEWS LAST YEAR.

RIGHT, YEAH. DID HE...
TELL YOU ANYTHING ELSE?

THERE'S MORE?

ELI'S JUST...

A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

HE'S... HE'S SPECIAL.

WELL, I'M NOT SURE
I'M SO INTO SPECIAL,

BUT I'M NOT BORED YET,
AND HE IS CUTE

AND QUITE ENTHUSIASTIC
BETWEEN THE SHEETS.

I THINK I'LL KEEP HIM
AROUND A LITTLE LONGER.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

MY CLIENT'S FINANCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED.

THIS MAY SOUND GREEDY TO YOU,
TAYLOR, BUT JORDAN CHANGED.

YOU ADMITTED IT YOURSELF. YOU'RE
NOT THE SAME MAN I MARRIED.

YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE THINGS HE DID--

OUR HOUSE, OUR POSSESSIONS,
OUR SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS...

ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THAT'S LIKE?

ELLEN, I'M SINCERELY SORRY.

I NEVER INTENDED TO HURT YOU.

I JUST WANT TO KEEP
THE LIFE I KNOW--

THE CLUB, THE HOUSE,
OUR FRIENDS.
THOSE THINGS COST MONEY, ELLEN,

THE KIND OF MONEY
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYMORE.

MRS. WETHERSBY AND YOUR CLIENT
HAD AN IMPLICIT UNDERSTANDING

ABOUT THE LIFESTYLE HE WAS
OFFERING WHEN SHE MARRIED HIM.

IF HE WANTS TO GIVE THAT
LIFESTYLE UP, THAT'S FINE.

BUT IT'S NOT
HER MIDLIFE CRISIS.
SHE'S SUPPOSED
TO SUPPORT HIS DECISIONS.

AND HE'S SUPPOSED
TO SUPPORT HER, WHICH IS WHY

AS WELL AS THE HOUSE, WE'RE
SEEKING ALIMONY IN THIS AMOUNT.

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO INFORM YOUR CLIENT

THAT SHE DIDN'T MARRY
A SAUDI PRINCE.
IT'S WHAT SHE DESERVES.

THANK YOU.

WE'LL TAKE YOUR REQUEST
UNDER ADVISEMENT

AND RECONVENE LATER
IN THE WEEK.

IN THE MEANTIME, I'LL ADVISE
MY CLIENT OF HIS LEGAL RIGHTS

AS WELL AS HIS COMMON SENSE.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE...
I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.

UNTIL YOU'VE WALKED IN MY SHOES,
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME.

FINE. I'LL HAVE MY FATHER BUY ME
A PAIR OF $600 CHANEL FLATS

BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING.

CENTRAL LOCATION,

VIEWS OF DOWNTOWN,
ICE CREAM STORE DOWNSTAIRS.

THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME
TO REMIND YOU THAT I'M THE GUY

THAT GOT THE HOSPITAL
TO PAY YOU ALL THAT MONEY.
BEST THING THAT EVER
HAPPENED TO ME.

NOW WHEN I GET OUT OF BED
IN THE MORNING,

I'M ACTUALLY EXCITED.
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER
THAN A LIFE CHANGE

THAT ISN'T
ANEURYSM-MOTIVATED.

OH, MY GOD.

YOU FINALLY LET
THE LITTLE ATTORNEY

OUT OF HIS BRIEFS.
OH, YOU READ THE AD
I TOOK OUT?

THINGS ARE GOING
PRETTY GOOD WITH ASHLEY, HUH?

IT'S LIKE THE MAN UPSTAIRS MADE
A BOOKKEEPING ERROR IN MY FAVOR.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO TELL BETH ALL ABOUT IT

WHEN YOU COME TO DINNER.
YOU'RE STILL COMIN', RIGHT?
OF COURSE.

OH, WAIT A SECOND.

WHERE IS MY BROTHER,

AND WHY HAS HE BEEN REPLACED
BY A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL?

WHY DID I NEVER TEXT BEFORE,
HMM?

HAVE YOU TOLD HER?
SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE ANEURYSM.

WHAT ABOUT
THE GEORGE MICHAEL-LOVIN',

TALKIN'-TO-GOD WEIRDO PART?

I WAS THINKING OF TELLING HER
TONIGHT, IN FACT.

YOU KNOW, ELI, I'M NOT SURE
THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

I'M NOT ASHAMED
OF IT ANYMORE, NATE.

I WANT TO START OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITHOUT ANY SECRETS.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT
YOU'RE LIKE... SPIDER-MAN?

UM, EXCEPT I DON'T CATCH
SUPER VILLAINS.

I WIN TRIALS.

BECAUSE THE VISIONS TELL YOU
WHAT CASES TO TAKE.

SEE? YOU GET IT ALREADY.

I MEAN, SOME PEOPLE--YOU HAVE TO
EXPLAIN THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES.

BUT SOME PEOPLE, UM,

THINK IT'S A GIFT.

JEWELRY IS A GIFT.

YOU JUST TOLD ME
YOU WORK FOR GOD.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU.

I THOUGHT
THAT YOU WOULD THINK

IT WAS WEIRD IN A COOL WAY,
BUT, UM...

HORRIFIED
I WASN'T PREPARED FOR.

I'M NOT HORRIFIED.

I'M JUST A LITTLE...
OVERWHELMED.

IT'S...

A LOT.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT
YOU FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS

WITHOUT GETTING HIT OVER
THE HEAD WITH SOMETHING HEAVY?

DUDE, WHAT DID I TELL YOU
ABOUT THE BARGING?

SORRY. YOU WITH A PATIENT?

SADLY, NO.

GOOD, 'CAUSE THIS IS
AN EMERGENCY.

JUST WADING THROUGH MY
EVER-ENLARGING STACK OF BILLS.
I TOLD ASHLEY ABOUT MY VISIONS,
AND SHE CALLED ME "SPECIAL."

THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
YOU CAN'T JUST
DROP A BOMB LIKE THAT.

WELL, WHY DID YOU
SET ME UP WITH SOMEBODY

WHO WOULDN'T BE OPEN TO KNOWING
THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT ME?
BECAUSE NO ONE SANE

WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT
AFTER FOUR DATES, ELI.
GRACE WAS.

SHE DOESN'T COUNT.
SHE WAS A FEMALE YOU.

I SET YOU UP WITH ASHLEY BECAUSE
SHE'S THE OPPOSITE OF YOU.

THE OPPOSITE OF ME?
YES. FUN.

LET ME CLARIFY. WHAT I'M
AFTER HERE IS SOME ADVICE

ON HOW TO MAKE ASHLEY NOT THINK
OF ME AS A COMPLETE NUT JOB.

THEN GO BACK IN TIME
AND DON'T TELL HER.

AND WHILE YOU'RE BACK THERE,

TELL ME NOT TO GO
INTO THE SMOOTHIE BUSINESS.

WASTE OF MONEY, THAT WAS.
YOU'RE CRANKY TODAY,
AND MORE UNHELPFUL THAN USUAL.

THINGS REALLY THAT BAD
WITH THE PRACTICE?
THEY'RE NOT GOOD.

MEANWHILE, DR. LEE HAS GOT
A LINE AROUND THE BLOCK.

WELL, MAYBE DR. LEE GIVES BETTER
DATING ADVICE THAN YOU DO.

OR BECAUSE DR. LEE ACTUALLY
CHARGES THE CRACKPOTS

WHO COME IN LOOKING FOR IT.
HMM.

ELLEN KNOWS HOW
VULNERABLE MY DAD IS RIGHT NOW.

HE'S UNDER SO MUCH STRESS.

IT'S--IT'S ONE THING
THAT SHE FILED FOR DIVORCE.

IT'S ANOTHER THING
THAT SHE DID IT TO HIM NOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THIS MAKES ME LOOK FAT, RIGHT?

NO, I THINK IT'S THE PREGNANCY
THAT DOES THAT.

BUT THE PREGNANCY ALSO MAKES
YOU... GLOW.

I LOOK LIKE A BOAT.

A BEAUTIFUL PREGNANT BOAT.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK
I SHOULD DO?
UH, ABOUT THE DRESS?

ABOUT ELLEN.
OH. I DON'T KNOW.

COUPLE TIMES I MET HER,
SHE SEEMED PLEASANT ENOUGH,

AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU TWO
HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.
WE HAD A FINE RELATIONSHIP.

WE'VE BEEN PERFECTLY FRIENDLY
AND CIVIL FOR 20 YEARS,

BUT IT'S NOT LIKE
SHE EVER REPLACED MY MOTHER.

OH, YOU MEAN THE WOMAN WHO
ABANDONED YOU WHEN YOU WERE 14.

SHUT UP.
I LOOK LIKE A FIRE HYDRANT.

A BEAUTIFUL,
PREGNANT FIRE HYDRANT.

ALL I'M SAYING IS YOU'VE KNOWN
THIS WOMAN FOR 20 YEARS.

IF SHE'S BEING SO UNREASONABLE,
DON'T DRAG IT OUT IN COURT.

DON'T HUMILIATE HER OR YOUR DAD.
JUST GO TALK TO HER, YOU KNOW?

WORK SOMETHING OUT.

YOU KNOW,
I HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT'S WHY I RARELY AM.

AFTER A TIP FROM ONE
OF HER CO-WORKERS,

WE WENT
TO THE DEFENDANT'S HOME--

SPECIFICALLY, THE TRAILER PARK
WHERE SHE LIVES.

WE HAD A SEARCH WARRANT
PROPERLY ISSUED

UNDER THE P.A.T.R.I.O.T. ACT.
AND WHAT, IF ANYTHING,
DID YOUR SEARCH UNCOVER?

A LEAD-LINED SHED. INSIDE WE
FOUND HUNDREDS OF SMOKE ALARMS

AND GLOW-IN-THE-DARK CLOCKS,

ALL OF WHICH HAD BEEN STRIPPED
OF THEIR NUCLEAR MATERIALS.
AND IN YOUR EXPERT OPINION,

WHY WOULD SOMEONE ISOLATE
NUCLEAR MATERIAL LIKE THAT?

THE ONLY PURPOSE WOULD BE
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION

OF A RADIOLOGICAL
DISPERSAL DEVICE

COLLOQUIALLY KNOWN
AS A DIRTY BOMB.

USUALLY A DIRTY BOMB COMBINES
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

WITH CONVENTIONAL
EXPLOSIVE DEVICES.

WHEN YOU SEARCHED
MY CLIENT'S SHED,

DID YOU FIND ANY SUCH DEVICES?

NO.

DID YOU FIND
ANY PLANS OR DIAGRAMS

OR JOURNAL ENTRIES
WHICH INCLUDED SCHEMATICS

FOR BUILDING SUCH A BOMB?
NO.

BUT YOU DID FIND HER NOTEBOOK.
WE FIND A SPIRAL NOTEPAD

WITH CRUDE MATHEMATICAL
FORMULAS AND DIAGRAMS.

SOUNDS THREATENING.
OUR EXPERTS ARE STILL
GOING OVER THE NOTATIONS.

SO IT'S POSSIBLE GENNY WAS
WORKING ON SOMETHING ELSE,

SOMETHING BENEFICIAL
TO THE WORLD,

LIKE EXPERIMENTS
ON NUCLEAR ENERGY?

SHE IS A 22-YEAR-OLD
COLLEGE DROPOUT

WHO IS A CASHIER AT WORKBENCH.
EINSTEIN DEVELOPED
HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY

WHILE WORKING
AS A PATENT CLERK.
EINSTEIN DIDN'T
EXPOSE HIS NEIGHBORS,

NOR CERTAINLY HIMSELF,
TO SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL HARM

BY HAVING UNLICENSED,
ILLEGAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS

IN HIS BACKYARD.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I'D LIKE TO
STICK THOSE NUCLEAR MATERIALS.

YEAH, I DON'T THINK
THAT'LL HELP YOUR CASE.

AS IT IS, THE JURY SEES YOU
AS THE FEMALE TED KACZYNSKI.
KACZYNSKI?
THAT GUY WAS A HACK.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HIS WORK?
SHODDY.
GENNY, THE PROBLEM HERE IS,
UNLESS YOU TAKE THE STAND,

THE JURY IS NOT
GONNA THINK OF YOU

AS ANYTHING OTHER
THAN A CRACKPOT.
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK.

WELL, YOU SHOULD,

'CAUSE THESE 12 PEOPLE
CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON.

AND I THINK YOU DO CARE
WHAT PEOPLE THINK.

OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T
BE SO SCARED.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE. LOOK,
YOU HAVE A BRILLIANT MIND,

A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION MIND.

YOU JUST HAVE TO
LET PEOPLE SEE IT.

I'M NOT WEARING A DRESS.

ISN'T IT AGAINST THE LAW
OR SOMETHING FOR YOU

TO TALK TO ME WITHOUT
MY ATTORNEY BEING HERE?

WE HAVE A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP.
WE'RE FRIENDS, ELLEN.

IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO PLAY
THAT CARD, DON'T YOU THINK?

ACTUALLY,
WITH SO MUCH TENSION LATELY,

I-I CAN'T THINK
OF A BETTER TIME.

YOU'RE STARTING TO SHOW.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU.

I ALWAYS ENVIED PREGNANT WOMEN.
NEVER WAS ONE MYSELF, OBVIOUSLY.

YOUR FATHER DIDN'T WANT
ANY MORE CHILDREN.

AND NOW IT'S JUST ME.

AND I KNOW THAT
MUST BE HARD FOR YOU.

BUT, ELLEN, HE CAN'T AFFORD
WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO PAY.

THERE ARE TONS OF THINGS
I'M SURE YOUR FATHER

COULD PART WITH--THE PICASSO,
THE TIFFANY LAMPS.

HE'S BY NO MEANS BROKE.

HE'S STARTING A NEW COMPANY.
HIS ASSETS ARE LIMITED.

I'M SORRY, TAYLOR,
BUT I WON'T FALL FOR THAT.
I CAN SHOW YOU THE BOOKS.

I WILL NOT LET HIM DO
THE SAME THING TO ME

HE DID TO YOUR MOTHER.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHEN--WHEN JORDAN
LEFT SUSAN FOR ME,

HE--HE HID HIS ASSETS
IN OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS.

AND THEN HE HIRED
THE BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY

HIS HIDDEN MONEY COULD BUY
AND HAD YOUR MOTHER DECLARED

INCOMPETENT TO PARENT
BASED ON FINANCIAL INSTABILITY,

SO HE GOT FULL CUSTODY.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO,

BUT THAT'S HOW JORDAN WAS
IN THOSE DAYS.

HE PROTECTED WHAT
HE LOVED AT ANY COST.
MY MOTHER LEFT US
BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT

THE BURDEN OF
RAISING A DAUGHTER

WHEN SHE WAS STARTING
HER NEW LIFE.

ONLY AFTER YOUR FATHER
DESTROYED HER OLD ONE.

YOU KEEP DROPPING BY LIKE THIS,
PEOPLE ARE GONNA START TO THINK

YOU'RE COMING
BACK TO WORK HERE.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW,

THINGS WON'T ALWAYS BE THIS
AWKWARD BETWEEN US, RIGHT?

BECAUSE BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE,
WE WERE FRIENDS--GOOD FRIENDS.

I'M SO GLAD
TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT.

LET'S BE FRIENDS AGAIN.

SO, FRIEND,

I HEAR YOU'RE DATING
ASHLEY CARDIFF.

WHAT? IS IT ON TMZ
OR SOMETHING?
SHE'S A CLIENT OF MINE.

SMALL WORLD.

YEAH, IT IS.

I THINK SHE'S...
FANTASTIC...

MM-HMM.
AND COOL, FUN.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS
A LITTLE WEIRD AT FIRST--
I DON'T THINK
YOU HAVE TO WORRY.

I'M NOT SURE
WE'RE DATING ANYMORE.
YOU'RE NOT?

I, UM, I TOLD HER
ABOUT MY VISIONS.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

UH, I'M AN IDIOT?

IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,
IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I JUST--I HAPPEN TO KNOW

THAT ASHLEY IS NOT LOOKING
FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS,

AND, WELL,
YOU'RE A SERIOUS PERSON

WITH SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITIES.
IT'S--IT COULD BE A BAD COMBO.

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
TO HER ABOUT ME, DID YOU?

I JUST--I TOLD HER
YOU WERE SPECIAL.

OHH!
THAT'S CODE FOR WEIRDO.

NO WONDER SHE ACTED STRANGELY
WHEN I TOLD HER

ABOUT MY VISIONS.

YOU HAD HER PRIMED TO THINK
THAT I'M CRAZY TOWN.

WELL, WHY DID YOU TELL HER ABOUT
YOUR VISIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

YOU'VE HAD THREE DATES!
FOUR.

OH, RIGHT, I FORGOT--
THIRD DATE, SEX,

FOURTH DATE, TELL HER
YOU'RE A PROPHET.

YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY
FACING THIS OBJECTIVELY.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

WELL, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY
A LITTLE JEALOUS.
ALL I DID WAS PROTECT YOU.
ALL I EVER DO IS PROTECT YOU!

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, ELI?
I TAKE IT BACK.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL.

I THINK YOU'RE AN ASS.

GENNY, COULD YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU USE THIS NOTEBOOK FOR?

JOTTING DOWN THOUGHTS I HAVE--

MATH STUFF, PHYSICS FORMULAS,
THE OCCASIONAL SONG LYRIC.

I TOOK THIS NOTEBOOK
TO PROFESSOR BLANCHARD,

HEAD OF THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
AT STANFORD.
I DIDN'T SAY
YOU COULD DO THAT.

BUT THEN,
WHAT'S MINE IS YOURS.

HE WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
OBJECTION--HEARSAY.

I HAVE A SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT,
YOUR HONOR,

IF MR. PELFREY WANTS TO CROSS
DR. BLANCHARD, HE CAN.
OVERRULED.

DR. BLANCHARD SAID THAT SOME
OF THE FORMULAS IN THIS BOOK

USED SOME OF THE MOST
ADVANCED MATHEMATICS

AND INNOVATIVE REASONING
HE'S EVER SEEN.

HE ALSO SAID THAT THERE WAS
NO DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING

REMOTELY WEAPONLIKE.
WELL, DUH.

I WASN'T BUILDING ANYTHING
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTIONISH.

THEN WHAT WERE YOU USING
THE NUCLEAR MATERIALS FOR?
IT'S COMPLICATED.

DUMB IT DOWN FOR ME
AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

WELL, I WAS RIFFING
ON THE IDEA OF CREATING

A CONTROLLED ALPHA
MULTIPLICATION DEVICE

COMBINING THE DESIGN ELEMENTS

OF A RADIOISOTOPE
THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR

AND A NUCLEAR PULSE
PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

TO CREATE
A-A LOW-ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTION.

I HAVEN'T QUITE
FIGURED IT OUT YET.
THANK YOU.

DO YOU SEE ANY,
UH, PRACTICAL PURPOSE

FOR THIS KIND OF TECHNOLOGY
IN THE FUTURE?

IF I GET IT RIGHT,
IT COULD BE USEFUL

IN GETTING SOME TRACTION
ON COLD FUSION.

COLD FUSION.

READING FROM DR. BLANCHARD'S
AFFIDAVIT,

"GENNY'S MAY BE THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION

"TOWARD A CARBON-FREE
ENERGY ECONOMY

SINCE WE FIRST SPLIT
THE ATOM."

THAT'S NICE.

BUT THE POINT IS,
NOT A BOMB.

NOT A BOMB.

THANK YOU.

THINK OF PROPHET
AS A SHMANCY TITLE

LIKE--LIKE DUKE OR VISCOUNT.

INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.

WHAT IS A VISCOUNT ANYWAY?
I don't know.

HALF A COUNT?

I MEAN, MOST OF THE TIME
I'M JUST COMPLETELY NORMAL.

Let me prove it to you. Come to
dinner tonight at my brother's.
I DON'T--I DON'T KNOW.

I-I'M SUPPOSED
TO GO TO THIS BENEFIT.

PLEASE COME.
I MEAN, YOU'LL LOVE NATE,

AND HIS FIANCéE BETH--
SHE'S THE BEST.

THE THREE OF YOU CAN
MAKE FUN OF ME ALL NIGHT.

I GUESS I COULD
JUST SEND A CHECK.

Great.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
Bye.

YES.

YOU READY?

KEITH, I'VE GOT MOJO,
AND IT'S RISING.

I'M GONNA KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS.
I CAN FEEL IT.

OKAY,
YOU'RE FRIGHTENING ME NOW.

GENNY, DO YOU HAVE
FRIENDS OR FAMILY

YOU DISCUSS
YOUR EXPERIMENTS WITH?
IT'S NOT ANY
OF THEIR BUSINESS.

OUTSIDE OF YOUR EXPERIMENTS,
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES?

DO YOU GO SEE MOVIES?
SO BASICALLY,

YOU'RE A GENIUS RECLUSE
WHO HATES THE ESTABLISHMENT.
OBJECTION--RELEVANCE.

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO PAINT ME AS.

I'M NOT A UNABOMBER.
SUSTAINED.

YOU KNOW, I'M CURIOUS.
THERE ARE OTHER PLACES

YOU COULD HAVE DONE
YOUR EXPERIMENTS, SAFER PLACES.

YOU COULD HAVE APPLIED
FOR A JOB WITH THE GOVERNMENT,

ENERGY COMPANY. I'M SURE THEY'D
ALL BE INTERESTED IN YOUR WORK.
THEY'D BE INTERESTED IN
SQUASHING MY INVENTION

TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORLD
REMAINED DEPENDENT

ON OIL FOREVER.
MY FATHER WORKED

FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY
HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

IN 1979,
HE DESIGNED AN ENGINE

THAT COULD GET
59 MILES TO THE GALLON.

WANT TO KNOW
WHY YOU NEVER READ ABOUT IT

IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES"?

GOVERNMENT AND BIG OIL
KILLED IT, AND IT KILLED HIM.

SO YOU CAN CALL ME
A TERRORIST.

YOU CAN CALL ME ANY OTHER NAMES
YOU CAN THINK OF.

BUT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS--
YOU'VE ARRESTED ME BECAUSE

I REFUSE TO PLAY BY A SYSTEM
THAT SQUASHES INNOVATION,

CIVIL LIBERTIES AND SCIENCE.

I WANT A CONFERENCE
WITH COUNSEL.
YOUR HONOR, I'M NOT DONE
WITH MY CROSS-EXAMINATION--

NOW. CLEAR THE COURTROOM,
PLEASE.
ALL RISE.

THIS IS WHAT I KNOW--
THIS GIRL WASN'T BUILDING

A WEAPON OF ANY KIND
OF DESTRUCTION.
THANK YOU, JUDGE.

BUT SHE WAS ALSO IN POSSESSION
OF SOME VERY NUCLEAR MATERIALS,

NO MATTER HOW LEGALLY OBTAINED.
WHICH IS WHY I'LL DROP
THE W.M.D. CHARGES

IF SHE PLEADS TO THE MAX
ON THE POSSESSION.

THAT'S 25 YEARS. SHE'S A KID,
A BRILLIANT SCIENTIST.

YES, WHOSE BRILLIANCE MIGHT
JUST BLOW UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SHE'S ADMITTED TO POSSESSING
THE MATERIALS, SO THE ONLY PLEA

YOU'VE GOT LEFT
IS JURY NULLIFICATION.
WHICH I WON'T PERMIT
IN MY COURTROOM.

AND THAT PRESENTS US BOTH
WITH A DILEMMA, MR. STONE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE
THE JUDGE THAT

PUTS THE NEXT EINSTEIN
IN PRISON.

YOU'VE GOT AN EINSTEIN WHO
VERY CLEARLY BROKE THE LAW.

SHE WON'T AGREE TO SERVE
ANY JAIL TIME, YOUR HONOR,

AND I COULD NOT IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE CONVINCE HER TO.

WELL, YOU'RE ALSO VERY SMART,
MR. STONE.

FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.

I'M SURE THERE'S
AN EXPLANATION.

UM, MUST BE TRAFFIC.

MAYBE SHE'S STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR
WITH NO CELL SERVICE.

OH, COME ON. BETH HASN'T BEEN
ON TIME A DAY IN HER LIFE.
WHAT?

AND NOW I'M GONNA GO CHECK

ON THE LASAGNA,
UH, BEFORE IT BURNS.

I'M JUST SO SORRY
SHE MISSED BEN.
OH, DON'T WORRY.

HE GOT TO STAY UP AN HOUR
PAST HIS BEDTIME.

AS FAR AS HE'S CONCERNED,
THE NIGHT'S A SUCCESS.

ASHLEY'S A VERY LUCKY WOMAN,
ELI. YOU'RE A CATCH.

OH, YEAH?

HOW COME YOU NEVER
RETURNED MY CALLS

AFTER OUR NIGHT AT COLLEGE?
IT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME.

OUR "NIGHT" WAS A LITTLE MORE
LIKE 30 SECONDS.
OH, YEAH.

IS THAT HER?
WHEN DO WE EAT?

SHE'S NOT COMING.

OHH.

I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST GONNA GET SOMETHING

WITH A LITTLE MORE KICK
THAN WINE.

AH, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
I'LL GET IT FOR YOU.

HUH? WHAT IS THIS?
NOTHING. THOSE ARE NOTHING.

DON'T LOOK AT 'EM,
'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT EVEN THERE.

OH, I'M HAVING A VISION, THEN,
OF PLANE TICKETS TO VEGAS--

ONE WITH MY NAME ON IT.

WHY AM I GOING TO VEGAS
NEXT WEEKEND?
BECAUSE WE'RE ELOPING.

ELOPING ELOPING?

YEAH, LOOK, I DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO FIND OUT THIS WAY, BUT--

WELL, THERE'S NO BAD WAY
TO FIND THAT OUT! OH, MY GOD!

THAT IS AMAZING.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

YOU AVOIDING ME?

YOU CANCELED OUR LUNCH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ALL DAY--

A DIFFICULT FEAT
IN OUR HALF-EMPTY FIRM.

IS SOMETHING THE MATTER?
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH
YOUR FORMER DIVORCE ATTORNEY.

THOSE CONVERSATIONS NEVER PUT
A SMILE ON MY FACE, EITHER.

HE CONFIRMED
WHAT ELLEN TOLD ME

ABOUT WHAT YOU DID
TO MY MOTHER.

TAYLOR,

WHATEVER YOU'RE THINKING...

IT'S MORE COMPLICATED.

ALL THESE YEARS, YOU LET ME
THINK THE WORST OF HER--

THAT SHE WAS A MOTHER WHO
WOULD RUN OUT ON HER CHILD!
SHE DID RUN OUT.

AFTER YOU FORCED HER OUT
WITH YOUR LIES AND MANIPULATION.
TAYLOR--

I VIRTUALLY HAD NO RELATIONSHIP
WITH MY OWN MOTHER.

THAT'S AFFECTED
EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF MY LIFE.

I ADMIT I WASN'T...

A GREAT PERSON BACK THEN.

THAT'S WHY I'M WORKING
SO HARD TO CHANGE NOW.

THANKS FOR ADMITTING IT.

BUT I BEGGED HER TO STAY

AND MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU.

PLEASE, JUST GO, DAD.

JUST GO.

THIS IS UNEXPECTED.
ARE YOU REAL?

I'M PRONE TO HALLUCINATING.

I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE
IN PERSON.

STANDING YOU UP
WAS RUDE AND MEAN.

IT'S NOT WHO I AM.

I WAS GOING TO COME. I HAD
MY COAT ON AND EVERYTHING.

BUT THEN I JUST STARTED
TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS

TO DATE SOMEONE WITH...

WITH, UH,

SO MUCH BAGGAGE.

WELL, I'M JUST NOT A--
BAGGAGE HANDLER.

IT MIGHT SOUND SHALLOW,

BUT I'M--I'M NOT
A SERIOUS PERSON.

THINGS ARE NOT SERIOUS
WITH ME ALL THE TIME.

YOU HAVE
A LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION

THAT CAUSES YOU TO SEE THINGS.
THAT'S... SERIOUS.

YOU'RE A GREAT GUY...

AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN,

BUT I CAN'T PRETEND
THAT THIS IS NORMAL.

I'M SORRY.

I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I CHECKED
MY VOICE MAIL THIS MORNING.

YOU ACTUALLY MADE
AN APPOINTMENT. MUST BE SERIOUS.

OH, BOY.

SHE DROPPED YOU LIKE
A BAD HABIT, DIDN'T SHE?
LIKE BAGGAGE, ACTUALLY.

TURNS OUT ASHLEY'S MORE
THE CARRY-ON LUGGAGE TYPE.

OKAY.
EH, GOOD RIDDANCE THEN.

THIS ISN'T EXACTLY
THE WARM SHOULDER TO CRY ON

I WAS HOPING FOR.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING,

AND IT SUCKS, BUT THE FACT IS,
IF ASHLEY CAN'T HANDLE

WHO YOU ARE,
YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER.

I DON'T EXACTLY CONNECT

WITH A DIFFERENT WOMAN
EVERY WEEK, FRANK.

I JUST--I WANT TO, UM...
CONNECT?

I WANT TO NOT BE ALONE.

LAST WEEK YOU SAID
YOU WEREN'T.

WELL, THE TRUTH IS,
I'M LONELY.

AND I JUST--
I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR

THAT I GET TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE'S
FUTURES, YOU KNOW?

LIKE KNOWING THAT MY CLIENT IS
GOING TO OVERCOME A LIFETIME

OF REJECTION AND LONELINESS
AND WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE.

I WANT SOMEONE TO TELL ME THAT
MY LIFE IS GONNA CHANGE, TOO.

IT WASN'T IN
YOUR DAD'S JOURNAL, ELI.

YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHOW ME
THE FUTURE BEFORE...
A POSSIBLE FUTURE.

WITH THAT DARK ARTS THING--
LOOK, ELI, I TOLD YOU
I WOULDN'T USE

THE NURHACHI TECHNIQUE
ON YOU AGAIN.

IT'S DANGEROUS,
MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY,

PARTICULARLY TO SOMEONE
WITH YOUR CONDITION.

EVERYBODY ELSE DOESN'T KNOW
THEIR DESTINY, ELI.

EVERYBODY ELSE DOESN'T HAVE
THE RESPONSIBILITIES I DO,

AND THEY'RE NOT ALONE
BECAUSE OF THAT.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE BECAUSE
OF YOUR CALLING, ELI.

YOU'RE ALONE BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON YET.

YOU WON'T SHOW ME IF I WILL?
I WON'T PERFORM
A DANGEROUS PROCEDURE ON YOU

JUST TO HELP YOU
WITH YOUR LOVE LIFE, NO.

WOW. I'VE SEEN GUYS
WHO JUST GOT SENTENCED

TO THE GAS CHAMBER
WHO LOOK BETTER.

MM, YEAH. BAD NIGHT.

I FIGURED SINCE THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO TO STOP MY LIFE

FROM SUCKING, I MAY AS WELL LOOK
FOR A WAY TO HELP OUR CLIENT.
ANY LUCK?

NO. GENNY'S SUPPOSED TO WIN
THE NOBEL PRIZE IN 40 YEARS,

BUT I CAN'T SEE HOW SPENDING
25 OF THEM ETCHING FORMULAS

ONTO THE WALL WITH THE BACK
OF A TOOTHBRUSH

IS GONNA HELP HER
INVENT COLD FUSION.
MAYBE SHE DOESN'T.

BUT YOU SAID SOMETIMES
YOUR VISIONS DON'T COME OUT

THE WAY YOU THINK, RIGHT?
SO...
THANKS.

THAT'S JUST THE LIGHTNING BOLT
OF OPTIMISM I NEEDED.
SORRY. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA FIGURE
OUT COLD FUSION IN 400 YEARS,

MUCH LESS 40.
ACCORDING TO
THE "JOURNAL OF SCIENCE"?

ACCORDING TO IRVING WALLENDER,
THE WORLD EXPERT ON COLD FUSION,

EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICAL SCIENCES
DIRECTOR AT LOS ALAMOS.

IRVING WALLENDER,
IRVING WALLENDER...

WHY IS THAT NAME FAMILIAR?

THE GREATEST
INVENTION OF THE 21st CENTURY--

COLD FUSION.

HE'S THE ONE WHO GIVES GENNY
THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

SO... WHO'S THE NERD?

IRVING WALLENDER. HE'S BASICALLY
THE LEGITIMATE VERSION OF YOU.

I READ YOUR NOTEBOOK.
WHO HASN'T?
IT'S LIKE A J.K. ROWLING NOVEL

AT THIS POINT.
IT WAS IMPRESSIVE--

SO IMPRESSIVE, IN FACT, THAT
I PUT IN A CALL TO SOME FRIENDS

IN THE A.U.S.A.'s OFFICE.
DR. WALLENDER'S GETTING ALL
THE CHARGES AGAINST YOU DROPPED.

SO WHAT, DO I HAVE TO SLEEP
WITH HIM OR SOMETHING?
NO. JUST COME WORK FOR ME.

LOS ALAMOS IS
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS

NUCLEAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE
IN THE COUNTRY.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
GO WORK FOR HIM?

YOU GUYS GIVE US A MINUTE?

I'M SORRY.

SOMETIMES I FORGET THAT WHEN
YOU'VE GOT AN I.Q. NORTH OF 150,

PEOPLE SOMETIMES DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU TELL THEM.

SO LET ME PUT IT TO YOU
IN 1-SYLLABLE WORDS--

I WILL NOT
GO WORK FOR THE MAN.

YOU EITHER GO WORK FOR THE MAN,
OR HE SENDS YOU TO PRISON.

WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER DO?

WOULD YOU RATHER MAKE
LICENSE PLATES OR HISTORY?
I DON'T CARE ABOUT HISTORY.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S TRUE, GENNY.

I THINK THAT
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW

WHAT YOU CAN DO,
WHAT YOUR FAMILY CAN DO.

YOU THINK PEOPLE
WON'T LISTEN TO YOU NOW?

IMAGINE HOW RECEPTIVE THEY'RE
GONNA BE WHEN YOU'RE AN EX-CON.
THEY DON'T DESERVE
TO KNOW, THEN.

REALLY?

WHAT ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE
IN, UH, BANGLADESH

OR ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT,
WHOSE HOMES MIGHT WASH AWAY

WHEN THE ICE CAPS MELT, HMM?

I'M SURE THE POLAR BEARS
DIDN'T DO MUCH TO PISS YOU OFF.

CAN YOU REALLY BE
THAT SELFISH?
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

BELIEVE ME, I DO.

I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU HAVE A GIFT.

BUT A GIFT IS SOMETHING
THAT IS GIVEN.

YOU DON'T OWN IT.

THE WORLD DOES...

AND THE WORLD IS
ASKING YOU TO USE IT.

AND YOU DON'T GET
TO SAY NO,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH
YOU MIGHT WANT TO.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
WE'VE CONCEDED ON THE HOUSE,

THE ALIMONY AND THE CAR.

THE ONLY THING
MY CLIENT REQUESTS

IS THE RETENTION OF THE ARTWORKS
PURCHASED DURING THE MARRIAGE.

I'LL HAVE MY OFFICE
DRAW UP THE PAPERWORK.

TAYLOR, CAN WE TALK?

WRONG TIME,
WRONG PLACE, DAD.

THANK YOU.

IT WAS JORDAN'S DECISION.

JORDAN'S?
NOT YOUR FATHER'S?

THE LAST THING I EVER WANTED
IS TO CAUSE A RIFT

BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DAD.

ALL YOU DID WAS TELL ME
THE TRUTH, ELLEN.

HONESTLY, I SHOULD
BE THANKING YOU.

TAYLOR, YOU ARE,
AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN,

YOUR DAD'S WHOLE WORLD.

DON'T FORGET THAT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY.
OKAY, BYE.

YOU OKAY?

I'M GOOD. I, UH, I JUST WON
MY CASE--WELL, SORT OF.

CHARGES DROPPED,
CLIENT'S GOT A NEW JOB.

THAT'S GREAT! THAT'S GREAT.
SOME GOOD NEWS, RIGHT?

YEAH. UM, ASHLEY DUMPED ME.

OH, MAN.
THAT'S WHAT I GET

FOR LETTING MY ACUPUNCTURIST
BE MY MATCHMAKER.

STILL, DON'T WORRY.
I MEAN, I'M GONNA BE FINE.

I GOT A WEDDING IN VEGAS
TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
SO YOU'LL BE THERE?

YOU KIDDING? I'M NOT GONNA LET
GETTING DUMPED BY SOME HEIRESS

PREVENT ME FROM BEING
THE BEST MAN

TO THE BEST MAN THAT I KNOW.

OH. I HOPE THAT PHRASE ISN'T
MAKING IT INTO YOUR TOAST.
I WOULDN'T RULE IT OUT.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING,
AND YOU ARE MY FAMILY,

AND I CAN'T LET YOU
JUST IGNORE ME. I CAN'T.

DAD.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE A MOTHER,
TAYLOR, A PARENT,

AND THERE ARE THINGS
IN YOUR PAST YOU'LL BE ASHAMED

FOR YOUR CHILD TO LEARN.

WHAT I DID TO YOUR MOTHER
WAS UNFORGIVABLE.

BUT?

BUT THERE WAS A CONTEXT.

IT WAS A DIVORCE--
A BITTER ONE.

BOTH SIDES BEHAVED BADLY.

I-I DIDN'T WANT TO BE
A WEEKEND FATHER.

I WANTED YOU TO LIVE
WITH ME,

AND--AND YOUR MOTHER WAS
FLIGHTY AND DIFFICULT.

IT WASN'T HARD
TO SHOW THAT IN COURT,

AND IN MY OPINION,

THE FACT
THAT SHE LEFT PROVES IT.

I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD
ACCEPT MY APOLOGY.

THIS WAS MY MOTHER.

I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA
TAKE TO GET OVER THIS, BUT...

I KNOW AN APOLOGY
ISN'T ENOUGH.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?

YOU'RE DR. LEE?

YES. MY FATHER
WAS HALF CHINESE.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE ASIAN
ACUPUNCTURISTS NOT BEING ASIAN?
EXCUSE ME?

NOTHING. SORRY.

SO HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
UH, LET ME GUESS--ACID REFLUX?

INSOMNIA.

INSOMNIA'S PART OF IT.

UM, THIS IS GONNA
SOUND STRANGE.

I, UH, I RECENTLY HAD A FORM
OF ACUPUNCTURE DONE ON ME

CALLED THE DARK TRUTH.

NEVER HEARD OF IT.

REALLY?

UM, I THINK NURHACHI

WOULD BE PRETTY DISAPPOINTED
TO HEAR THAT,

YOU BEING A STUDENT
OF HIS AND ALL.

THE DARK TRUTH IS NOT EXACTLY
ON MY STANDARD LIST OF SERVICES.

I HAVEN'T DONE IT IN YEARS.

PLUS IT'S DANGEROUS.
I'LL PAY.

I-I DON'T KNOW.

HOW DOES $1,000 SOUND?

I'LL BE FINE.

I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

THEN YOU KNOW THE EXPERIENCE
CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE.

I CAN'T JUST DIAL UP
WHICHEVER FUTURE YOU DICTATE.
I KNOW.

YOU'RE THE CUSTOMER.

I WARN YOU,
THIS HURTS.

YEAH, NOT AS MUCH
AS NOT KNOWING.

AAH!

I'M SO SORRY, NATE.

I CAN'T MARRY YOU.

I'M SO SORRY.

BETH!
NO.
