Encyclopedia
"From Where to Eternity" is the twenty-second episode of the HBO original series The Sopranos
and the ninth of the show's second season. It was written by Michael Imperioli
, directed by Henry J. Bronchtein
and originally aired on Sunday, March 12, 2000.
clings to life in a hospital ICU. During the night, his heart stops and the doctors attempt to resuscitate him. He is pronounced clinically dead
for over a minute, but the doctors manage to revive him. Fearing for his life, Carmela Soprano
finds an empty hospital room and admits to Jesus
that the members of the family have entered their occupations with eyes open but prays that Christopher will recover and "see the light". When he is conscious, he asks to see Paulie Walnuts
and Tony Soprano
and tells them of a trip he made to hell
, where he saw Brendan Filone
and Mikey Palmice
in an Irish bar and they had a message for Tony and Paulie: "Three o'clock."
Tony dismisses Christopher's story, but Paulie becomes obsessed with the message. Eventually, Paulie consoles Christopher with the idea that what he saw was purgatory, instead of hell. Paulie is awakened nightly at 3:00 a.m. with nightmares that wake his girlfriend's children. At the suggestion of his girlfriend, he eventually seeks the help of a psychic
, using the pseudonym
Ted Hughes
. The psychic claims to see the spirits of the men Paulie killed following him. Believing his donations to a church should have prevented him from being haunted, Paulie takes out his frustration on a chain-smoking priest, telling him he feels that the Church has forsaken him and that he won't be giving any more donations.
Meanwhile, Carmela learns from Gabriella Dante that an associate in the Soprano family, Ralphie Rotaldo, just had a baby with his longtime Brazilian comàre
. Carmela tells Tony this and asks that he have a vasectomy
so that he will not bring shame to the family, since she knows that he still sees women on the side. Tony tries to shake off the accusation, since he allegedly broke up with his girlfriend months ago. Carmela then reminds him of the shame that a "bastard-child" would do to the family. Tony does not feel like listening, which causes Carmela to take a pillow from the bed and sleep downstairs. Adding to Carmela's frustration is the fact that Tony lied to her about Christopher's trip to the afterlife, telling her that Christopher had been in heaven
while Christopher admitted to her to being in hell. Also, a problem arises when Tony criticizes his "only male heir", his son A.J.
, after he breaks a dish of food on the floor accidentally. Soon after, Tony apologizes to A.J. and makes amends. Tony agrees to have his vasectomy if Carmela still wants it. Carmela says "No", but what she wants him to be pure and "to be hers".
Big Pussy Bonpensiero is afraid that Tony knows he has been working with the FBI
, so at the advice of his FBI contact, Pussy tries to "make Tony love him again." Pussy tries to regain his trust by hunting down Matthew Bevilaqua
, who was responsible for Christopher's shooting. When he gets the information as to his whereabouts — Hacklebarney State Park
in Chester Township, New Jersey
near a house that George Washington
purportedly slept in during the American Revolution
— Pussy calls Tony and the two execute Matt after questioning him about the attack on Christopher, riddling his body with bullets after he finished drinking a Diet Coke.
After the killing, the two go to a steakhouse
where Pussy first took Tony after he committed his first murder. They tell jokes and reminisce, noting how long it has been since they first started working together. Tony asks Pussy if he believes in God, to which he responds that he does, and that God has been very generous to him. Tony agrees, and the two toast.
