O Henry would have been proud. That's all I will say. This is the story of a couple of men who truly go beyond what they had a right to do. The have a body delivered to them. The man did, indeed, give his body to science. What he didn't realize was that a couple of overzealous scientists were going to bring him back to life. His body has been frozen and he is eventually resuscitated. Think about the implications of this. The man is incredibly ill and never recovers. Not only that, he is driven to deep depression, wanting to die as the ghoulish pair prance around him, telling him how lucky he is to have two days. He does die again and then an event sets up the rest of the episode. The more zealous of the two men is going to his car when a mugger comes up and robs him. In the process, the guy shoots and kills the man. His partner comes along, the mugger runs, and it's back to the lab. That's right. He uses the technology to revive his friend. Unfortunately, the problem with the original case was that his cells immediately began to degenerate. A natural prognosis is 24 hours. There is a kicker here that I won't mention, but it is classic.
