Eli is shaken -- literally -- by his latest vision: The "Big One" hitting San Francisco. With Dr. Chen's help, he realizes that the epicenter of the quake is the neighborhood Eli's client is trying to evict in order to turn the area into a shopping mall, and realizes too that the only way to save these people is to help his client kick them out of their homes. With the stakes this high, Eli is willing to do whatever it takes -- including bribing a judge.
