Sometime later carter's, wife, virginia chambers, who used to be a nurse comments on how sad it is that nobody visits edward who has been sleeping since the surgery after spending some time with her husband, she leaves and that's when edward speaks again.

He has only been pretending to be asleep because he claims more people die from visitors than their illnesses. The next day, a doctor checks on edward and tells him they will start chemo soon, but he won't check on carter too telling him to wait for his own doctor after he leaves the two patients began to chat and carter explains he's been in and out over. The past few months, because he's on an experimental treatment, they talk about various subjects like carter's, awful experience with chemo and the history of coffee, which marks the beginning of their friendship.

The news upset him, but instead of talking about it, he orders the doctor to look at carter's file too, since he's been waiting for too long. The doctor does so, and carter tries to comfort edward, but edward only turns away to sink into his thoughts carter. Narrates about how 96 of people prefer not to know their exact day of death, while he considers himself part of the four percent who do parallel to this, the doctor tells him that he also has a year to live at most and now he thinks the opposite.

The himalayans edward begins, adding things of his own like kissing the most beautiful girl in the world and get a tattoo then tells carter. They should do it, they should follow the list and go out with a bang. Money isn't a problem because he can pay for everything, but carter still thinks it is a ridiculous idea until edward points out going back to normal life only means having people walking on eggshells around them. Smothering them with pity and grief right after carter accepts virginia arrives to visit him getting upset when she hears his condition is not good.

She wants a second opinion and goes from upset to furious when carter tells her, he doesn't want any more treatments and that he is going away with edward for a while. The couple argues, but despite his wife's screams, carter's decision is final and virginia leaves the place. Hating edward the next day, edward and carter, begin their new adventures and thomas goes with them to help. That's when carter learns, his actual name is matthew, but edward calls him something else, because he doesn't like biblical names.

Carter is a believer, but edward isn't because he cannot understand faith.

Their next. Stop is france, where they dine at the very exclusive chevrodor hotel housed in a medieval castle, edward used to come here all the time with a special lady and when he accidentally says that aloud, he finally admits he has a daughter emily, who he hasn't seen in Years carter decides to add talking to her to the bucket list, but this makes edward angry because he thinks it's a terrible idea. Suddenly, however, carter runs out of the room and edward follows him, ready to apologize for his outburst only to find out carter in front of a mirror with blood on his shirt. It turns out his catheter came loose, but he fixes it himself and refuses to go to the hospital, so they return to their hotel room.

While carter takes a bath, edward gets a call from virginia who demands to have her husband back. She used to work as a nurse, so she is ready for his eventual death, but she doesn't want to lose him while he is still alive feeling guilty, especially after the catheter incident. Edward goes to talk to carter and tells him they should stop doing this carter immediately guesses. His friend talked to virginia and promises.

He isn't doing this because carter pressured him into it. There's been a hole in his life since his last kid left home and now he's getting to live again, their trips around the world. Continue they go on a lion safari in tanzania and carter, convinces edward not to kill any animals, although edward still shoots his weapon at the air just for fun. Next, they visit the pyramids, which carter still doesn't consider majestic enough.

He tells edward about the egyptians beliefs about death and the questions they believe the gods ask when you arrive at heaven's door to determine if you could enter the first. One is if you found joy in your life to which edward answers. Yes, the second question is: if your life has brought joy to others, which edward isn't unsure about, so he decides to tell the story of how he lost contact with emily after the divorce. She went to live with her mother, so they would only see each other during the holidays or talk on the phone after she went to college.

She started dating like much so he was against them getting married. This upset emily, who didn't invite her father to the wedding. A few months later, though, emily showed up at his house admitting her husband had hit her edward wanted to bash his brains in, but emily. Wouldn't let him because trauma made her defend her husband, claiming it wasn't his fault and that she had started the fight when it happened again.

Emily didn't go to her dad and edward only learned about it, because his ex-wife told him. So he did what any father would do. He hired a thug that threatened emily's husband and got him to leave her. This made emily furious.

She called edward names and told him he was dead to her, regardless of her reaction. He doesn't regret it and he'd. Do it all again, even if it means not being allowed into egyptian heaven next, they go to india and visit the taj mahal, where they discuss their funeral options. Edward is still unsure of what he wants for his body, but carter already knows he wants to be cremated and his ashes should be put in a can and buried someplace with a view afterward.

They ride. Motorcycles on the great wall of china then visit mount everest where thomas brings them bad news having come during winter was a bad idea because there are storms going on the mountaintops that won't stop until spring, so they cannot go climbing as planned, since carter doesn't get To see his beloved mountains, edward thinks this may be a sign for them to stop, but carter gets angry and demands to keep going their next. Stop is hong kong, where carter meets a woman at a bar that he immediately connects with. They talk about mountain climbing and she shares her experience in a very poetic way that quite impresses him, but he still turns her down when she asks him to join her in her room carter returns to his own room and calls out edward for having paid that Woman for him before announcing he is done with the bucket list and wants to go home when they arrive in the usa.

Thomas doesn't take them home he's following a secret plan. Carter came up with and takes them to emily's house. This makes edward furious and tells carter. He has no right to mess with his life like this, not seeing how it's the same thing he did with the lady at the bar.

He says the trip wasn't life-changing and he isn't afraid to die alone. So he tears off the sheet of paper with the list and leaves in his car, leaving thomas and carter to take a cab. Edward goes back to his apartment, where he gets frustrated because he's out of coffee but most importantly, lonely. Hiring two escorts doesn't help the matter and instead of enjoying himself, he ends up having a breakdown and crying.

Meanwhile, carter returns home, but instead of using his keys, he rings the bell and lets virginia decide if he is allowed to come in or not. She does. Welcome him back and the whole family has dinner together for the first time in a while, after their meal is over carter and virginia dance together before retiring to their room, so they can be together after a long time of not doing so. However, while virginia is in the bathroom, putting on something nicer for the night carter collapses and is rushed to the hospital the following morning, edward is at one of his many business meetings, barely paying any attention when thomas comes to tell him about a very important call From the hospital, edward doesn't hesitate to leave his job for the day and visit edward, who is still asleep.

The doctor tells him cancer has spread to carter's brain and the odds are terribly bad before edward talks to virginia. Who gives him a letter? Carter wrote for him at that moment, carter wakes up and the two friends exchanged some banter as if their fight had never happened some hours later, while carter is waiting to be taken to surgery, he gives edward an article. That explains why kopi luwak is so special. The beans are fed to and defecated by, a jungle cat before being harvested.

This makes them laugh so hard, they cry so carter crosses that item off the list which he had picked up from the street and put back together with tape. Then he gives the list to edward asking him to please finish it for him. While carter is sent to surgery, edward reads the letter, where carter apologizes for what he did but also admits he would do it all again. He also thanks him for the trip that made him a new man and asks him to find joy in his life.

This gives edward the courage he needs to finally see emily, who welcomes him into her home and after a long emotional talk, introduces him to his granddaughter edward hugs and kisses the kid on the cheek which allows him to cross kissing the most beautiful girl in the World off the list, sadly, carter dies during the surgery. Edward gives a speech during his funeral saying the last three months of carter's life were the best months of edwards. He admits he loves him and he misses him and he is glad he was able to bring some joy to his life, which allows him to cross help a complete stranger for the good off the list. Edward dies some months later, and this is how we return to the beginning of the story.

The mysterious figure climbing the himalayas is thomas, who has brought edward's ashes in a can to put next to carter's, which are also in a can. Then he crosses witness. Something. Truly majestic off the list, which is the final item, so he sticks it between the cans before leaving being buried on a mountain is against the law.
