3
00:00:45,845 --> 00:00:47,574
Let's hear it
for Della Cart.
4
00:00:48,948 --> 00:00:51,508
Dude, your sister
kicks serious ass.
5
00:00:51,584 --> 00:00:53,779
Competed in the boys'
league this year.
6
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,218
Kicked their asses, too.
7
00:01:00,126 --> 00:01:01,593
Nice job, Del. You...
8
00:01:01,661 --> 00:01:03,185
I went faster on the 50-50.
You were right.
9
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:04,754
All right.
Who wants next?
10
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:07,960
Yeah, yeah,
I'm a little biased.
11
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:25,340
- Custom decks.
- Start the bidding at 400 bucks.
12
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:27,352
Trust me, the kids'll force
their parents to buy them.
13
00:01:27,454 --> 00:01:29,012
You got to see this.
14
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:40,130
You made a great
event today, hon.
15
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:41,691
Fast enough for you?
16
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:44,293
I'm already in a wheelchair,
what are you so afraid of?
17
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:47,270
All right!
18
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:50,933
That wasn't what I meant!
19
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:58,280
Della? You okay?
20
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,381
Mom, Dad!
21
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,496
We got to stop parking like this.
People are gonna talk.
22
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:54,296
Well, that's why I plan on
doing some talking first.
23
00:02:54,407 --> 00:02:58,776
I want us to formally report our
relationship to Human Resources.
24
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,746
Okay. You get them,
I'll cover everybody else.
25
00:03:02,482 --> 00:03:05,417
I would appreciate it if we could keep
it quiet until we had that meeting.
26
00:03:05,485 --> 00:03:07,350
It's gonna be hard with me
grabbing your ass all day.
27
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:08,920
Grabbing stops
at the threshold.
28
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,284
Of the parking garage.
29
00:03:12,425 --> 00:03:15,019
Handicapped plates.
I get special access.
30
00:03:19,432 --> 00:03:22,595
I just don't want our
relationship affecting our jobs.
31
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:24,694
Or the other way around.
32
00:03:29,175 --> 00:03:32,201
Why, Dr. Cuddy,
how was your weekend?
33
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:37,107
I got a call about
a case for you.
34
00:03:37,183 --> 00:03:39,981
14-year-old. EMTs think her
heart stopped while she...
35
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:41,543
Sounds great.
36
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:43,519
You haven't seen it yet.
37
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:45,215
I sense something
fascinating about it.
38
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:47,616
I'm gonna get us in to
see HR this afternoon.
39
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:49,628
Think you can hold
your tongue till then?
40
00:03:50,029 --> 00:03:51,189
Mom!
41
00:03:52,865 --> 00:03:53,889
Fine.
42
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,297
People are gonna
know soon enough.
43
00:03:55,368 --> 00:03:57,461
I think I can
hold it till lunch.
44
00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:10,574
I'm seeing Cuddy.
45
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:13,712
Generally without
her clothes on.
46
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:17,649
Use your imagination.
Hope it's got a wide-angle lens.
47
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,590
You don't actually need that.
48
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:22,724
I'm gonna go check my office
for whoopee cushions.
49
00:04:22,862 --> 00:04:24,193
This is not a prank.
50
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,754
This is not me
walking out the door.
51
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:29,668
Really? You and Cuddy?
52
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:31,161
For reals.
53
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,431
Foreman can translate.
54
00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:34,597
So, junior miss everything.
55
00:04:34,707 --> 00:04:38,768
Skateboarder, basketballer,
science clubber, seal clubber.
56
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:40,778
I'm actually guessing
with that last one.
57
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,207
Healthy one day,
heart arrhythmia the next.
58
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:44,978
Are you sure it's
a good idea to be
59
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:46,712
yanking on
the chain of command?
60
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:48,185
Way to go, House.
61
00:04:48,254 --> 00:04:50,119
I'm surprised you two
didn't get together sooner.
62
00:04:50,256 --> 00:04:52,656
EKG, echo and head
CT are all spotless.
63
00:04:52,725 --> 00:04:54,454
There's nothing on
her neurological exam.
64
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,189
Interesting. In favor,
indignant, indifferent.
65
00:04:58,364 --> 00:05:00,127
I think I'd like
the female perspective.
66
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,063
Or Thirteen's.
Where is she?
67
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,124
She's gone.
68
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:05,227
She said was
taking a leave of absence,
69
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:08,433
wanted us to think it was for
a Huntington's study in Rome.
70
00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:09,565
They've never heard of her.
71
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:11,109
Cell and home phone
are disconnected,
72
00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:12,701
apartment's
already been vacated.
73
00:05:13,546 --> 00:05:15,741
And what's with
the death's head cane?
74
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:18,943
They didn't have a death's
ass cane in my size.
75
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:22,113
I guess we'll
just have to wait.
76
00:05:22,922 --> 00:05:25,789
Conditions that cause intermittent
heart arrhythmias. Taub?
77
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:28,952
Three years you've been trying to game
out Thirteen. Now you don't care?
78
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:30,893
Sorry, not caring
about Thirteen is not
79
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,828
part of the differential
for heart arrhythmia.
80
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:34,422
But you do get a home
version of the game.
81
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,594
Patient's brother has severe
congenital muscular dystrophy.
82
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:41,162
Life expectancy of about 25.
If she's had a latent case of it...
83
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:43,242
Wouldn't be sudden-onset.
Foreman?
84
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:45,810
Do you know something about
Thirteen that we don't?
85
00:05:45,912 --> 00:05:49,404
She's entitled to her privacy.
Just as I'm entitled to a diagnosis.
86
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,142
And you're glossing over
Thirteen's departure
87
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:54,810
because you actually respect
somebody's privacy.
88
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:57,082
I agree. It's weird
of me not to care.
89
00:05:57,156 --> 00:05:59,021
So either I'm a changed
man because of Cuddy,
90
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:00,456
or I'm pretending
to be a changed man
91
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:01,788
because I do know
something about Thirteen
92
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:03,089
and I'm trying to
throw you off the scent,
93
00:06:03,162 --> 00:06:05,323
or I've just gone nutty-bananas
because I lost a patient.
94
00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:08,763
All of which you are free to
discuss after I get a diagnosis.
95
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,427
If it's long QT syndrome,
96
00:06:10,503 --> 00:06:13,438
any startling stimulus in that skate
park could've triggered the arrhythmia.
97
00:06:13,506 --> 00:06:14,973
Loud noise, flashing lights.
98
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,601
Scare the patient to death
to confirm long QT.
99
00:06:20,813 --> 00:06:23,543
Fine. If you insist, do it in a
room with one of those thingamabobs
100
00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:24,775
that brings
people back to life.
101
00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:28,186
Scare test is insane.
102
00:06:28,287 --> 00:06:30,812
The scare test is legitimate,
simulates real-world conditions.
103
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:32,858
This fling with Cuddy's insane.
104
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:34,688
Flare gun? Scary enough?
105
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:36,728
How about just telling her we're
planning this stupid test?
106
00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:39,321
And I'm hoping House and Cuddy
are more than just a fling.
107
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,560
It's clearly mellowed him out.
He didn't even care about Thirteen.
108
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:44,500
Right, the guy who ordered us to stop
the patient's heart is mellowed out.
109
00:06:44,637 --> 00:06:46,628
It's gonna be horrible,
because it's doomed.
110
00:06:46,706 --> 00:06:48,867
Which is just gonna make House
50 times more of a crank.
111
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:51,406
Firecrackers. We can
hide them under
112
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:54,002
one of those
covered food trays.
113
00:06:58,684 --> 00:07:00,311
Find any itching
powder in your hanky?
114
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,218
Any fake poo in
your desk drawer?
115
00:07:03,322 --> 00:07:05,415
Yes, the lack of
dime-store pranks
116
00:07:05,491 --> 00:07:07,686
is proof that you're
actually dating Cuddy
117
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,591
and not just mocking me for
being worried about you.
118
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:11,927
What do I have to do
to prove this to you?
119
00:07:12,398 --> 00:07:14,366
Tattoo a cane on
her inner thigh?
120
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,265
Tattoo her inner
thigh on my cane?
121
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:19,370
You told everybody, didn't you?
122
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,838
Repeatedly.
123
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:22,534
This one's not buying it.
Need a little help.
124
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:23,905
I'm not selling it.
125
00:07:24,043 --> 00:07:27,410
And it's time for our
meeting at Human Resources.
126
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:30,414
Human Resources. Now why would I
need to go to Human Resources?
127
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,140
House, you've been
to Human Resources
128
00:07:32,218 --> 00:07:34,015
74 times in the last six weeks.
129
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,886
Never after doing this.
130
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:39,115
Well, I'm convinced.
131
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:41,921
Come on, one peck.
Just enough to arouse him a little.
132
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:43,627
Hey, I'm not even...
133
00:07:43,696 --> 00:07:45,027
I didn't mean you.
134
00:07:45,598 --> 00:07:47,327
If I confirm it, can we leave?
135
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,458
Yes.
136
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,134
It's true.
137
00:07:56,108 --> 00:07:57,735
I've been more passionate
with my great-aunt.
138
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,778
Mabel? Up high.
139
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:10,352
Are we done here?
140
00:08:18,898 --> 00:08:20,798
She didn't even
ask me to cough.
141
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:23,202
I think you straightened
out my limp a little.
142
00:08:26,138 --> 00:08:29,596
Now, how would you describe the
exact nature of the relationship?
143
00:08:30,476 --> 00:08:31,875
Have you ever
seen Wild Kingdom?
144
00:08:32,044 --> 00:08:35,480
Those insects that rip their partners'
heads off after copulating.
145
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:45,648
It's a sexual relationship.
146
00:08:48,227 --> 00:08:50,991
Go slowly now.
He's writing it down.
147
00:08:51,097 --> 00:08:55,295
I believe that I can still supervise Dr.
House effectively,
148
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:58,268
but we both want to follow
hospital policy to the letter.
149
00:08:58,337 --> 00:09:02,000
Our concern is to make sure that
there's no conflict of interest,
150
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:04,269
no liability for
the hospital...
151
00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:06,334
You think we're gonna
sue if things go south?
152
00:09:06,445 --> 00:09:08,174
Let me tell you,
she actually does go...
153
00:09:08,281 --> 00:09:09,475
House.
154
00:09:10,516 --> 00:09:12,279
Let him talk.
155
00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:14,785
I know that
you're not going to sue,
156
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:19,120
because you are both going
to sign love contracts,
157
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:21,951
consensual
relationship agreements.
158
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:23,994
Well, obviously
outside counsel will have
159
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:26,327
to review the crotchless
undies clause.
160
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:32,665
We'll also need to watch for any
favoritism toward Dr. House.
161
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:35,269
Does that mean she has
to sleep with everyone?
162
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:38,538
I promise not to give him a raise
or a promotion of any kind.
163
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:41,135
There's got to be a joke there
about keeping up with inflation.
164
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:44,145
Or bias against him.
165
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:48,276
Are there any
supervisory issues
166
00:09:48,354 --> 00:09:49,787
with Dr. House's
current caseload?
167
00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:51,379
Nope. Current case
is solved.
168
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:53,458
Patient has long QT,
we're gonna scare her
169
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,289
into a cardiac
arrest to confirm.
170
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:56,555
No, we're not.
171
00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:58,358
Okay. No, we're not.
172
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:01,193
See? Everything
is under control.
173
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:06,195
I know you're still planning
your ridiculous scare test.
174
00:10:06,305 --> 00:10:07,772
But the patient is nowhere near
175
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,671
sick enough to
justify the risk.
176
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:14,406
An angiogram and an EP study are
much safer, and very effective.
177
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:17,482
Fair point. I'm not
doing the scare test.
178
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,914
I'd invite you to watch me
not doing the test,
179
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:24,546
but having not done
it many times before,
180
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,524
trust me,
it's pretty not interesting.
181
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:36,993
- House?
- Scare test was not approved.
182
00:10:37,169 --> 00:10:38,932
Do an angio and
an EP study instead.
183
00:10:39,071 --> 00:10:40,936
First of all,
that's not as effective as...
184
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:46,671
How come you're not doing
the more specialized test?
185
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:49,010
This test is virtually
just as effective.
186
00:10:49,081 --> 00:10:51,572
And Dr. House puts a premium
on patients' safety.
187
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:53,345
But frequently
changes his mind?
188
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:55,884
Hugo, give him
a break. I'm fine.
189
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:57,684
You should go to
the bathroom before we go.
190
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:59,281
We've been hydrating
you for quite a while.
191
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:00,785
I don't have to pee.
192
00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:04,021
Once we start the test, you won't be
able to move for at least an hour.
193
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:06,122
I really don't have to pee.
194
00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:07,699
How much fluid
have we given her?
195
00:11:09,869 --> 00:11:11,393
2.5 liters.
196
00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:12,903
When's the last time
you went to the bathroom?
197
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:14,439
Last night, I guess.
198
00:11:15,107 --> 00:11:16,369
What does that mean?
199
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:18,239
Your daughter's kidneys
seem to be failing.
200
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:29,415
So what could cause her heart to
stop, and her urine not to drop?
201
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,515
House, I was expecting
your relationship with Cuddy
202
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,423
to complicate
our work long-term.
203
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:39,123
I am now concerned it might
be affecting us short-term.
204
00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:40,289
All due respect.
205
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:41,524
None taken.
206
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:45,403
I listen to Cuddy all the time.
She's my boss. Also yours, by the way.
207
00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:48,406
You'd listen, then tell her she's being
an idiot, and do whatever you want.
208
00:11:48,474 --> 00:11:50,965
I find I can skip the idiot part
when she's not being an idiot.
209
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:54,079
And since the scare test would've
led to this same dead end,
210
00:11:54,146 --> 00:11:57,343
she was right to stop it.
Which means your problem's about you.
211
00:11:57,783 --> 00:11:59,341
This should be interesting.
212
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:00,908
Losers love company.
213
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:05,184
And if even a misanthrope like
me has a chance at happiness,
214
00:12:05,257 --> 00:12:07,225
it's gonna be pretty
lonely on that landfill
215
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:09,193
of loser-dom you
call a marriage.
216
00:12:09,895 --> 00:12:11,692
Heart, kidneys, go.
217
00:12:12,098 --> 00:12:15,625
Could be Fabry disease.
Lipid deposition in her tissues.
218
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:16,759
Dad's history was clean.
219
00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:20,066
What about protein deposits?
They wouldn't show in her parents' history.
220
00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:23,636
Amyloidosis.
Explains both the symptoms.
221
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,267
Marrow transplant to treat.
222
00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:26,810
Her brother's a match.
223
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:28,573
Confirm and do.
224
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:35,045
I've been experiencing
fatigue and weakness.
225
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:40,559
Wouldn't have anything to do with
the fact that you're 102 years old?
226
00:12:40,626 --> 00:12:42,594
Usually he's strong as an ox.
227
00:12:42,661 --> 00:12:43,821
102-year-old ox.
228
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:47,057
He has tingling in
his feet and his legs.
229
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,124
I want a full battery of tests.
230
00:12:49,201 --> 00:12:50,225
Carbon dating?
231
00:12:50,302 --> 00:12:52,770
I'll pay cash if
it's not covered.
232
00:12:52,838 --> 00:12:54,328
It's nice of you to
float your friend...
233
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,104
He's not my friend, he's my father.
He's 22 years older than me.
234
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:02,612
Well, if that's true, he's
definitely had his jowls done.
235
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:04,915
Statistically, if he didn't
have these symptoms,
236
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:06,884
he'd be like most
people of his age,
237
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:08,783
dead for the past
several decades.
238
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,344
Do the tests, I'm sick.
239
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:12,447
You have a bad case
of natural causes.
240
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,456
Do the damn tests.
241
00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:20,755
If the vial fills with sand,
we take that as a bad sign.
242
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,329
Hugo should be here.
Why'd you ask him to leave?
243
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:26,165
We wanted to be able
to discuss this openly.
244
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:28,035
But it obviously affects him.
245
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:29,334
Honey, let the doctor finish.
246
00:13:29,441 --> 00:13:30,499
It's a standard
procedure.
247
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:33,373
We use general anesthesia, harvest
a very small amount of his...
248
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:35,709
No. I'm not taking
my brother's marrow.
249
00:13:35,781 --> 00:13:36,839
Del, it's...
250
00:13:37,049 --> 00:13:38,846
These harvests are harmless.
251
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:41,317
With the meds we give,
there's almost no pain,
252
00:13:41,387 --> 00:13:43,355
almost no risk of infection...
Almost?
253
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:47,224
His life's hard
enough as it is.
254
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:50,989
Small problem
with the treatment.
255
00:13:51,063 --> 00:13:54,226
Patient won't take marrow
from steel wheels?
256
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:57,067
We're finding another match.
And how do you know?
257
00:13:57,169 --> 00:14:00,468
What other problem could there be
with a problem-free procedure?
258
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,507
Boys' sports, science club.
She's living his life, not hers.
259
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,835
Makes sense she's being
a self-denying moron.
260
00:14:06,912 --> 00:14:10,211
She loves her brother, she's thinking selflessly.
How is that at all...
261
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:13,877
Moronic? Hmm. If I could only think
of a harm-free medical treatment
262
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:15,010
she'd turned down lately.
263
00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:16,577
You're right.
If everyone were more selfish,
264
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:18,088
the world would
be a better place.
265
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:21,651
See? I can skip the idiot part
when you're not being an idiot.
266
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:27,922
Yeah, I had that same facial
expression for the first 48 hours.
267
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:31,534
Had another one, too, but only
for 15 seconds at a time.
268
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:35,199
I'm happy for you.
You're happy for you. This is huge.
269
00:14:35,574 --> 00:14:36,939
So who's gonna supervise you?
270
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,340
Cuddy.
271
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:41,308
I guess maybe that can work.
272
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,674
Maybe? Nothing's changed.
273
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:47,075
You showed up for
clinic hours, voluntarily.
274
00:14:47,186 --> 00:14:48,915
Fine, a little bit has changed.
275
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:51,888
House, everything's changed.
You're sleeping together.
276
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:53,982
You want something
from her besides
277
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:56,323
sign-off on scaring
your patient to death.
278
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:57,419
You talked to Taub.
279
00:14:58,063 --> 00:14:59,997
He's worried about you.
He's a jerk.
280
00:15:00,165 --> 00:15:01,257
I'm worried, too.
281
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:02,357
Do I need to say it?
282
00:15:02,701 --> 00:15:04,225
I want this to work.
283
00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:06,267
I'm not doing
anything differently.
284
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:08,703
She changed my mind
about one diagnostic test.
285
00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,605
And she was right.
286
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:14,605
Even though it's your emotional
default, stop worrying.
287
00:15:15,714 --> 00:15:17,409
I can handle it.
288
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:21,042
I hear you're a pretty
fierce skateboarder.
289
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:22,785
I do okay.
290
00:15:23,455 --> 00:15:26,253
All your activities,
don't they seem
291
00:15:26,325 --> 00:15:29,055
like things a 16-year-old
boy would do?
292
00:15:29,628 --> 00:15:33,962
Some people might think you're
trying to live his life for him.
293
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:35,424
I am.
294
00:15:35,801 --> 00:15:37,029
Sort of.
295
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:40,094
I got into skateboarding when
some of Hugo's classmates did,
296
00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:42,935
and he realized
he could never do it.
297
00:15:43,242 --> 00:15:47,269
It's the same with a lot of things.
We live through it together.
298
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:52,577
And you're not worried you're being
selfless to the point of self-denial?
299
00:15:53,552 --> 00:15:56,487
You've never been
inspired by someone?
300
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:00,222
Why don't you take your pills.
301
00:16:02,995 --> 00:16:05,156
Need some help in here.
302
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:08,290
Hemothorax, we need
to bronch her now.
303
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:10,958
Clear an OR.
She's drowning in her own blood.
304
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:12,230
It's not amyloidosis.
305
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:22,980
She's bleeding to death,
out of her lung.
306
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:25,676
I want to fill
a quarter of it with foam.
307
00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:28,185
That'd stop the
bleeding, all right.
308
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:31,181
Thought it made more sense
than diet and exercise.
309
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:34,282
And if she doesn't have enough lung
function left, you'll have killed her.
310
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,124
The only alternative is
slowly suturing the lung,
311
00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:38,754
hoping the bleeding
stops in time
312
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,355
and she doesn't die on her own.
313
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:42,657
But we would walk
away with clean hands.
314
00:16:42,801 --> 00:16:44,894
Except for all the blood.
315
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:51,841
You're right. Faster and riskier is better.
Foam the lung.
316
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:00,851
You got a green light?
317
00:17:04,923 --> 00:17:07,391
No. Suture the lung.
318
00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:10,919
Scalpel, rib spreader.
319
00:17:15,267 --> 00:17:17,064
I can't handle it.
320
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:21,872
What happened?
321
00:17:21,940 --> 00:17:24,170
She said yes, I heard no.
322
00:17:25,411 --> 00:17:26,776
But I didn't actually hear no.
323
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,871
I just was sure
that's what she meant.
324
00:17:30,115 --> 00:17:33,175
The way she tilted her head
and half-arched her eyebrow.
325
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:36,377
But what do I even
care what she meant?
326
00:17:36,455 --> 00:17:39,219
She said yes,
that's all that matters.
327
00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:42,554
I'm screwing this up.
328
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:45,396
It's not completely bad, House.
329
00:17:45,464 --> 00:17:48,228
You care enough to pull your punches.
That's not a bad thing.
330
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,029
But you and Cuddy
have got to figure out
331
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:51,763
a way of avoiding this problem.
332
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:54,137
Set some ground rules.
333
00:17:55,707 --> 00:17:59,302
Yeah. I have to
avoid this problem.
334
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:02,642
If I can restrict
our interactions
335
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:05,478
to places where neither
of us are wearing pants.
336
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,951
Yeah. That's not avoiding the
problem, that's avoiding the issue.
337
00:18:10,122 --> 00:18:13,319
Since avoidance is my plan
for dealing with the issue,
338
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:16,155
technically,
that's not avoiding it.
339
00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:18,327
Thanks.
No problem.
340
00:18:22,734 --> 00:18:24,497
The stitching worked.
This time.
341
00:18:24,636 --> 00:18:26,797
No guarantee bowing
to Cuddy'll work next time.
342
00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:32,109
Heart arrhythmia, kidney failure,
and now a bleeding lung...
343
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:33,835
I don't want to criticize
your girlfriend, but...
344
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:37,074
Hey, you've been on me for years
to respect someone's opinion.
345
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:39,515
Just because I had to go outside
this group to find one I respect...
346
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,485
Multi-system involvement centered
in the lung. Sarcoidosis.
347
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:43,987
Doesn't explain the hemothorax.
348
00:18:44,256 --> 00:18:45,985
TB can infect all three organs.
349
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:47,922
Skin test was negative.
What about Goodpasture's?
350
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,622
Affects the lungs, kidneys.
351
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:54,922
And autoimmune explains the
out-of-the-blue arrhythmia.
352
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,160
Goodpasture's it is.
353
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:58,964
Immunosuppressants
and plasmapheresis to treat,
354
00:18:59,171 --> 00:19:01,298
kidney biopsy to confirm.
355
00:19:10,182 --> 00:19:11,672
Dr. House!
356
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:13,645
Don't tell me.
357
00:19:13,752 --> 00:19:16,482
Your father's hairline is
receding and he needs more tests.
358
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:19,951
He's 102, his next test
is an autopsy.
359
00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:24,929
Look, I love the old man, but I've got
to get him out of the damn house.
360
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:27,098
He can't do
anything without me.
361
00:19:27,199 --> 00:19:30,635
He needs to be in
a care facility.
362
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:32,397
So tell him.
He's a big boy now.
363
00:19:32,471 --> 00:19:33,597
I can't.
364
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:38,371
I'm his whole life.
But if it comes from a doctor...
365
00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:45,841
That's very generous.
366
00:19:45,984 --> 00:19:47,383
When you were 30.
367
00:19:50,622 --> 00:19:52,783
Pretend to run the tests.
368
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:57,792
And then tell him he can't
live with me anymore.
369
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:10,969
I didn't run into
you all afternoon.
370
00:20:11,343 --> 00:20:12,605
I missed you.
371
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:13,906
Busy day.
372
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:19,181
Maybe we should plan
on lunch tomorrow.
373
00:20:21,019 --> 00:20:24,386
Problem is, at lunch
you tend to wear tops.
374
00:20:27,492 --> 00:20:29,357
This is much better.
375
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,207
Cuddy and I are naked.
So I'm having trouble focusing.
376
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:46,437
Use small words.
377
00:20:46,545 --> 00:20:47,705
Kidney biopsy was clean,
378
00:20:47,779 --> 00:20:49,770
so we re-checked a piece
of her lung from the OR.
379
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:53,714
You lost me.
Sorry, who is this calling again?
380
00:20:53,785 --> 00:20:54,843
It's not Goodpasture's.
381
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,911
There's intimal thickening
of the blood vessels.
382
00:20:57,022 --> 00:20:59,786
- And lymphocytic infiltrate.
- We tested for LAM, it's positive.
383
00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:02,291
Plus her lung's fried.
She needs a donor lung to live.
384
00:21:02,394 --> 00:21:04,385
Which is the only
treatment for LAM anyway.
385
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:05,928
Taub's gone to
the transplant committee.
386
00:21:05,998 --> 00:21:07,363
They may have
found a donor lung.
387
00:21:07,899 --> 00:21:10,561
So this call is
purely expositional?
388
00:21:14,539 --> 00:21:17,702
We should really get dressed.
I told the nanny I'd be home by 9:00.
389
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:22,304
And I slipped the nanny 40 bucks,
told her to stay till 10:00.
390
00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:23,970
Really?
391
00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:25,311
Really.
392
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:40,765
Good news.
393
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:48,268
Surgery was uneventful.
394
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:51,570
But the donor lung started failing
about an hour into recovery.
395
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,838
We know we're right about
LAM, tests confirmed it.
396
00:21:53,945 --> 00:21:55,435
Well, that leaves
us with two options.
397
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:57,241
Her body is
rejecting the new lung,
398
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:58,908
or we should've
rejected the new lung
399
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:00,178
because it's infected.
400
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:01,650
Let's biopsy,
see which one it is.
401
00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:03,846
No guarantee we'd
hit the affected spot.
402
00:22:03,955 --> 00:22:06,480
If we give steroids for rejection,
it'd make an infection worse.
403
00:22:06,591 --> 00:22:09,082
If we give antibiotics for infection,
it'd make rejection worse.
404
00:22:09,695 --> 00:22:11,026
Which worse is worse?
405
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,791
If we treat her for infection and we're
wrong, she'll be dead within hours.
406
00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:15,662
And if we treat for
rejection and we're wrong?
407
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:17,462
She'll probably
hang on a day or two.
408
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:20,596
You're assuming her rejection's hyperacute.
Odds are it isn't.
409
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:23,440
Got to head off
the worst worse first.
410
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,638
I studied under Dr. Seuss.
411
00:22:26,778 --> 00:22:29,838
Start with IV methylprednisolone
for hyperacute rejection.
412
00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:33,042
If that fails, we'll switch her
to broad-spectrum antibiotics,
413
00:22:33,151 --> 00:22:35,483
and hope we're not too late.
414
00:22:39,157 --> 00:22:40,522
Cat got your legs?
415
00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:44,891
We just decided to give meds that could
kill the patient, based on a guess.
416
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:46,554
You need approval from Cuddy.
417
00:22:46,665 --> 00:22:48,030
And she'll want to
take the safer course.
418
00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:50,328
And you're gonna fold
like an origami crane.
419
00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:54,065
So I'll just wait here until
we get our actual orders.
420
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,502
Fine. You do it.
421
00:22:57,576 --> 00:23:01,410
Tell her she's being an idiot for
always choosing the safer course.
422
00:23:01,513 --> 00:23:04,573
She's sitting on her ample, if
well-formed, bureaucratic ass
423
00:23:04,683 --> 00:23:06,150
while our patient's dying.
424
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:08,015
We'll see who folds
like an origami shrimp.
425
00:23:08,086 --> 00:23:10,748
You want me to
get Cuddy's approval?
426
00:23:10,989 --> 00:23:12,354
I've gotta be
somewhere important.
427
00:23:12,424 --> 00:23:13,721
Sitting at your desk?
428
00:23:13,925 --> 00:23:15,756
I'm running late.
429
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:34,370
Forget the tests.
430
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:37,504
I think junior might have a
few words to say about that.
431
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:40,073
I love him but he can't let go.
432
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:43,710
40 bucks says he can.
433
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:48,590
I can't do anything without him
helping me like I'm senile.
434
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:51,562
If I go back there,
I'm gonna rip his throat out.
435
00:23:51,696 --> 00:23:53,857
You sure you won't warm up
to him over time?
436
00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:00,864
Skip the blood work.
437
00:24:00,972 --> 00:24:05,568
Tell my son it's grim news, I
need to be in a nursing home.
438
00:24:06,645 --> 00:24:08,306
A private room.
439
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:10,442
Make it a suite.
440
00:24:11,082 --> 00:24:12,310
It'll be our little secret.
441
00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:18,113
I sit around on
my "bureaucratic ass"?
442
00:24:18,223 --> 00:24:19,554
I was relaying your words.
443
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:22,752
I said "well-formed."
I said "well-formed"!
444
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:25,654
What were you...
I needed to be aggressive.
445
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:27,124
You're an idiot.
446
00:24:27,265 --> 00:24:28,459
She was siding
with Foreman's analysis.
447
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:31,827
The odds are against it being
hyperacute rejection...
448
00:24:31,937 --> 00:24:33,097
Stop.
449
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:37,672
I agree with you.
That was our analysis from the start.
450
00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:42,136
If you've got a problem with a
team decision, you come to me.
451
00:24:42,347 --> 00:24:44,440
I'm sorry.
I'll deal with him later.
452
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:48,151
I said "well-formed."
453
00:24:55,126 --> 00:24:59,153
People who have not seen Cuddy
naked should not throw stones.
454
00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:01,958
She does have great cans.
455
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:05,997
Cuddy has House on
such a short leash,
456
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:07,867
she might as well
start giving him chew-toys.
457
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:10,840
Let's give the antibiotics
at least another hour.
458
00:25:10,942 --> 00:25:13,706
Amazing. And House hasn't
given you one ounce of grief
459
00:25:13,812 --> 00:25:16,144
for your complete lack of
interest in his love life.
460
00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:18,876
Did it ever occur to you
that House is just happy,
461
00:25:18,984 --> 00:25:21,384
and could give a crap about other
people's lives because of it?
462
00:25:21,486 --> 00:25:24,455
Well, that's ironic
and depressing.
463
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,889
And by that logic,
the reason you don't
464
00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:28,949
give a crap is
because you're happy.
465
00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:32,690
Which means you've got someone
new giving you chew-toys.
466
00:25:32,898 --> 00:25:34,490
You're one-fourth right.
467
00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:36,966
Wait. Are you saying...
468
00:25:38,336 --> 00:25:39,963
You're dating four women?
469
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:48,577
BP's dropping.
Means the antibiotics aren't working.
470
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:49,805
Put her in Trendelenburg.
471
00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:51,373
Can we save the lung?
472
00:25:51,516 --> 00:25:53,006
Believe it or not,
we've got a better chance now.
473
00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:55,410
This means it's rejection,
not infection.
474
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,749
We'll start her on IV
methylprednisolone right away.
475
00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:08,993
Wow. You hate salad.
She's really got you tied up in knots.
476
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:11,900
I caved. Through
an intermediary.
477
00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:14,065
I need a plan C.
478
00:26:14,272 --> 00:26:18,675
What you need is a plan that you
actually develop with Cuddy.
479
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,405
Antibiotics didn't work.
And then steroids didn't work.
480
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:27,074
Her new lung's ruined and it's
not rejection or infection.
481
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:28,913
The only two
options were wrong.
482
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:30,112
Unless it's not LAM.
483
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,722
It is LAM,
the test was positive.
484
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:34,290
Then the test had to be wrong.
485
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:37,619
Deep fryer's working again.
486
00:26:38,763 --> 00:26:40,458
Still working on that?
487
00:26:40,565 --> 00:26:43,398
That was here when I sat down.
I need to think.
488
00:27:12,864 --> 00:27:16,459
I want to make sure you're trying
everything to save my sister.
489
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:20,464
Everything.
That must be it.
490
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:23,301
See, I thought you guys
checked the box marked,
491
00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:25,000
"Try every other thing."
492
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:27,442
I'm the one that's
supposed to die first.
493
00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:29,480
I'm the damaged one, not her.
494
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:31,171
She never even gets a cold.
495
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:33,477
Damage has a way of spreading
to everyone around you.
496
00:27:33,685 --> 00:27:35,744
For example, your
obvious emotional damage
497
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,913
is now making me have a
philosophical conversation,
498
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:39,513
instead of dealing
with your sister.
499
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:42,358
See how that might be damaging?
500
00:27:51,102 --> 00:27:52,160
Never?
501
00:27:54,372 --> 00:27:55,862
When's the last time
you had a cold?
502
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:58,976
Any minor aches,
swelling, anything?
503
00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:04,042
It's been years.
She never gets colds.
504
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:06,515
I didn't ask when's the
last time she mentioned it,
505
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:09,610
I asked when she had one,
even a tiny one.
506
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:13,988
It's nothing.
Sometimes my ears ache a little.
507
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,351
So now tell me
the rest of the nothing.
508
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:23,963
My chest, soreness,
some congestion...
509
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:25,692
You never said
anything about that.
510
00:28:26,337 --> 00:28:29,966
I barely noticed it until that
skateboarding tournament in Denver.
511
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:31,065
How long ago?
512
00:28:32,243 --> 00:28:33,505
A year?
513
00:28:34,312 --> 00:28:37,907
Cold's nothing. When I think of
what Hugo goes through every day...
514
00:28:38,016 --> 00:28:42,077
Yeah, we get it. Your brother, the
saint, his sister, the martyr.
515
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:48,717
Thank God you followed me.
516
00:28:48,827 --> 00:28:50,590
Now you can go back to
the transplant committee
517
00:28:50,695 --> 00:28:52,060
while I get confirmation.
518
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:53,221
Confirmation of what?
519
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:55,595
What causes low-level
cold symptoms for a year,
520
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:57,998
can ruin two lungs,
is immune to drug therapies
521
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:00,697
and gets worse in cities
nicknamed Mile-High?
522
00:29:00,772 --> 00:29:02,000
A clotting disorder?
523
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:03,973
She has a nasty case
of sickle cell trait.
524
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:05,873
Her heart arrhythmia
wasn't sudden at all.
525
00:29:05,944 --> 00:29:08,242
The screwed up blood cells
screwed up the blood vessels,
526
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:11,179
which gave us the screwed
up positive for LAM.
527
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:13,183
If she'd told us
about her symptoms sooner,
528
00:29:13,284 --> 00:29:15,184
like, ever,
she might not be dying.
529
00:29:15,286 --> 00:29:16,344
You were right after all.
530
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,445
I never said sickle...
531
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:21,548
If everyone were more selfish, the
world would be a better place.
532
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,425
So she's gonna die.
533
00:29:27,532 --> 00:29:28,794
Unless we can find...
534
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:30,198
She burned through
one donor lung,
535
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,793
transplant committee's never
gonna give her a second one.
536
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:36,102
Well, then, I guess
you're right again.
537
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,906
Unless we don't
need their approval.
538
00:29:53,024 --> 00:29:54,924
You can't advise
your patient's parents
539
00:29:54,993 --> 00:29:58,520
to take marrow and half
a lung from their son.
540
00:29:58,863 --> 00:30:02,026
Guess I could just chat with
them about the weather.
541
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:04,761
But the blood tests just
confirmed sickle cell trait,
542
00:30:04,836 --> 00:30:08,636
so they might be curious about
the only treatment option.
543
00:30:08,706 --> 00:30:10,537
Though we are having
weird weather lately.
544
00:30:10,675 --> 00:30:14,406
There is a huge reason not to
take lungs from living patients.
545
00:30:14,512 --> 00:30:15,672
So their siblings can die?
546
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,748
Their son has CMD.
547
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:20,614
As it is, he's gonna die of
respiratory failure by 25.
548
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:22,482
We could cut whatever
time he has left in half.
549
00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:25,317
That qualifies as a bad reason
for them to reject the idea.
550
00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:27,357
It's a much worse reason for
them not to get the choice.
551
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:29,619
It's coercive to tell them.
552
00:30:29,694 --> 00:30:31,184
You ever hear of "do no harm"?
553
00:30:31,296 --> 00:30:33,787
That was second year, right?
I had mono all that fall.
554
00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:35,162
Their son's not
even our patient.
555
00:30:35,266 --> 00:30:36,733
Why don't we just
take half a lung from
556
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,268
some guy in the clinic
with a toothache?
557
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:40,497
It's a great idea.
Now I can give the parents two options.
558
00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:43,540
We don't compromise
one life for another.
559
00:30:48,379 --> 00:30:49,539
Okay.
560
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:56,882
"Okay"? Seriously?
561
00:30:58,723 --> 00:30:59,849
You made an argument.
562
00:30:59,991 --> 00:31:02,186
If you don't want me to defer
to you, why make it at all?
563
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:07,363
But are you deferring to me just
because we're seeing each other?
564
00:31:11,002 --> 00:31:12,196
Maybe.
565
00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:16,334
Yeah. I think so.
566
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:21,034
Look, this is screwing me up.
Why is it not screwing you up?
567
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:24,075
It is.
568
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:29,149
I don't know why I okayed
you foaming that lung.
569
00:31:29,254 --> 00:31:31,381
I realized it was wrong
as soon as I said it.
570
00:31:31,489 --> 00:31:34,356
I knew it! I knew when
you tilted your head.
571
00:31:34,425 --> 00:31:37,883
House, we are screwing this up.
572
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:40,891
I'm gonna call HR.
573
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:45,266
And find someone else to supervise
you, as soon as they can.
574
00:32:00,785 --> 00:32:04,915
I've got your test results.
575
00:32:07,025 --> 00:32:09,357
You have the metabolism,
blood counts,
576
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:11,725
liver and kidney function
of a 92-year-old.
577
00:32:11,796 --> 00:32:13,593
Which is great
'cause you're 102.
578
00:32:13,698 --> 00:32:17,190
What's not so great is the
average life expectancy is 78.
579
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:18,963
It is my recommendation
that you move into a home
580
00:32:19,037 --> 00:32:20,698
with round-the-clock care.
581
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,208
I can't believe it.
582
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:27,878
Can't my son give me
round-the-clock care?
583
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:30,311
Not unless you've done
your two-year certification
584
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:32,245
in Tiburon swab technology.
585
00:32:32,383 --> 00:32:34,044
There must be
some other way.
586
00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:36,518
Just because he has
a little tingling,
587
00:32:36,587 --> 00:32:38,919
and some trouble
feeling hot and cold,
588
00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:40,252
and some difficulty...
589
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:41,622
You can't feel hot and cold?
590
00:32:41,693 --> 00:32:44,127
Not lately.
But at my age...
591
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:46,059
Show me your teeth.
592
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,097
Dentures. Fairly worn.
I'm guessing 10-years-old.
593
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:56,463
Show me your denture cream.
594
00:32:57,241 --> 00:32:59,573
Why would he
carry denture cream?
595
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:05,810
Because he has zinc poisoning.
596
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:08,778
To get it from denture cream,
he'd have to take so much of it.
597
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,410
Trust me, he never
leaves home without it.
598
00:33:10,521 --> 00:33:11,988
How much do you use, Pop?
599
00:33:12,056 --> 00:33:13,489
About a tube a day.
600
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:16,587
I buy it online.
So what does this mean?
601
00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:19,357
Bizarrely, this explains
all your symptoms.
602
00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:21,690
Better-fitting dentures,
you'll be fine.
603
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,596
Medically, there's no
reason to go anywhere.
604
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:35,810
Hospital rebate.
605
00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:40,480
You might want to put it
toward couples therapy.
606
00:33:56,968 --> 00:33:58,833
The transplant committee's
never gonna give
607
00:33:58,903 --> 00:34:00,962
my daughter another
lung, are they?
608
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:02,063
No.
609
00:34:02,407 --> 00:34:04,068
Are there any other options?
610
00:34:05,576 --> 00:34:07,510
We're looking into it.
611
00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:10,637
Looking into what?
612
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:15,010
Please.
613
00:34:15,586 --> 00:34:18,851
Tell me, give me
some kind of hope.
614
00:34:19,023 --> 00:34:20,422
I'm afraid I can't do that.
615
00:34:20,525 --> 00:34:24,689
We're talking about my daughter's
life, what can't you tell me?
616
00:34:26,864 --> 00:34:31,358
If there's any chance
you can save her,
617
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:34,170
anything you can try.
618
00:34:41,112 --> 00:34:44,570
We can take marrow and
half a lung from your son.
619
00:34:46,617 --> 00:34:49,882
It would likely shorten
his life significantly.
620
00:34:52,723 --> 00:34:56,124
He'd never be able to go on
a respirator if he needed to.
621
00:34:56,227 --> 00:35:00,561
Most people with CMD need to as their
respiratory function declines.
622
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:12,773
How long do we have to decide?
623
00:35:14,212 --> 00:35:16,180
Morning at the latest.
624
00:35:22,053 --> 00:35:23,452
Thank you.
625
00:36:01,759 --> 00:36:03,420
Where are my parents?
626
00:36:04,095 --> 00:36:06,723
They're probably dealing with
committee issues or something.
627
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:08,888
They were arguing.
628
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:13,726
I saw my mom crying, looked
like my dad was yelling at her.
629
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,664
They care about you a lot.
630
00:36:25,249 --> 00:36:27,308
Hugo was a marrow match.
631
00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:30,844
We're way past that now.
632
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:36,990
They want a lung from him, too.
Is that what this is about?
633
00:36:40,164 --> 00:36:43,099
No. It's nothing you
need to worry about.
634
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:46,637
Everybody's working on getting
you the best care possible.
635
00:37:02,987 --> 00:37:06,047
How do they expect us
to go on from here?
636
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:12,220
We make a choice,
we live with it.
637
00:37:14,198 --> 00:37:17,998
There's no living with it,
no matter what we decide.
638
00:37:38,522 --> 00:37:40,581
Still cold and clammy,
she had a respiratory arrest.
639
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:43,120
Oh, my God!
640
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:44,320
What is
she doing here?
641
00:37:45,863 --> 00:37:47,160
She figured out
what was going on.
642
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,391
She's pinking up.
643
00:37:48,499 --> 00:37:50,694
She must have
yanked off her IVs and oxygen.
644
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:53,832
Came here to die.
645
00:38:05,082 --> 00:38:07,141
By unhooking
herself from everything,
646
00:38:07,218 --> 00:38:10,153
she delivered
a hypoxic insult to her body.
647
00:38:10,254 --> 00:38:12,518
It started a downward spiral.
648
00:38:13,157 --> 00:38:16,957
If you're gonna make a
decision, you're running out of time.
649
00:38:25,770 --> 00:38:27,601
HR can't find you
a new supervisor.
650
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:29,036
How come?
651
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,931
Because you're
unsupervisable, House.
652
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:33,476
Two department chairs
threatened to quit.
653
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:36,075
Well, I guess we're
stuck with each other.
654
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:41,216
I have no idea why
I'm making this call,
655
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:43,617
or if it's
the right call to make.
656
00:38:44,121 --> 00:38:46,885
But if you feel
strongly about presenting
657
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:49,983
the parents your
treatment option,
658
00:38:50,094 --> 00:38:51,356
you can do it.
659
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:56,125
Thank you. I will.
Several hours ago.
660
00:38:57,968 --> 00:38:59,196
You told them?
661
00:38:59,303 --> 00:39:01,794
I told him.
He came to my office.
662
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:07,709
I'm sorry.
663
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:14,651
Well, I should probably
be more mad at you.
664
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:17,782
Yeah.
665
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:21,556
Dr. House?
666
00:39:23,527 --> 00:39:24,721
We've decided.
667
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:28,492
We're not gonna take
the lung from our son.
668
00:39:31,502 --> 00:39:33,231
She's still on
the waiting list.
669
00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:34,861
We're gonna do whatever
we can to find her another...
670
00:39:34,972 --> 00:39:38,806
What ginormous crack pipe have
you people been sucking on?
671
00:39:39,009 --> 00:39:40,033
House!
672
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:41,270
Are you gonna
pretend that you're not
673
00:39:41,345 --> 00:39:42,403
choosing your own
daughter's death?
674
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:43,877
Our daughter doesn't want it.
675
00:39:44,014 --> 00:39:46,141
Probably doesn't want
to floss her teeth either.
676
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:47,445
She's a mindless teenybopper.
677
00:39:47,518 --> 00:39:48,712
Don't put this on them.
678
00:39:48,819 --> 00:39:50,377
What do you mean "put it on"?
It is on them.
679
00:39:50,488 --> 00:39:52,388
As much as they may want
to "pass the lung" here...
680
00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:56,085
Of course they do.
You're handing them an impossible choice...
681
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:58,695
Life has handed them
a crappy choice.
682
00:39:58,763 --> 00:40:00,355
And they're picking
the crappier option.
683
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:02,365
Trading who-knows-how-many
healthy decades
684
00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:05,095
for four or five years in which
roller-boy will be a limp rag.
685
00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:06,726
Not everything is
a math equation.
686
00:40:06,837 --> 00:40:08,828
You need me to explain the
difference between decade and year?
687
00:40:08,906 --> 00:40:10,339
Their son is a human being.
688
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,876
You know what they are,
right? Intrinsic value.
689
00:40:12,943 --> 00:40:14,069
We don't get to decide...
690
00:40:14,145 --> 00:40:15,203
Come on.
We do it every day.
691
00:40:15,279 --> 00:40:16,712
The two of them
needed the same lung...
692
00:40:16,781 --> 00:40:18,408
He needs to keep
the one he's got.
693
00:40:18,482 --> 00:40:20,746
You don't get to
play God by ripping out...
694
00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:23,376
That train left the station when
we learned to do transplants.
695
00:40:23,587 --> 00:40:24,884
The rest is
just paper-pushing.
696
00:40:24,955 --> 00:40:27,685
And of course now, we're onto
your real area of expertise.
697
00:40:27,792 --> 00:40:29,726
I thought we were
moving onto yours,
698
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:34,561
bullying your patients into embracing
your own lack-of-a-moral...
699
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,293
Hugo, honey...
700
00:40:39,470 --> 00:40:40,869
We didn't mean for
you to hear any of this.
701
00:40:41,906 --> 00:40:43,533
Hugo, please.
702
00:40:59,657 --> 00:41:02,285
I want you to
take half my lung.
703
00:41:02,359 --> 00:41:03,451
No.
704
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:07,563
I am not.
705
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:12,602
You do so many great things.
706
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:15,098
I just watch.
707
00:41:16,707 --> 00:41:20,268
I get to watch
and coach and cheer.
708
00:41:21,645 --> 00:41:25,979
But that's not me out there.
Never will be.
709
00:41:28,919 --> 00:41:33,253
If you take this piece
of me, carry it with you,
710
00:41:34,458 --> 00:41:37,757
then I really can share
in everything you do.
711
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:43,628
This is the great thing
I can do with my life.
712
00:41:46,103 --> 00:41:48,833
Don't make me live without you.
713
00:42:24,008 --> 00:42:25,100
We got lucky.
714
00:42:30,314 --> 00:42:32,509
I did give them
an impossible choice.
715
00:42:32,583 --> 00:42:34,744
The kid took it away from them.
716
00:42:35,486 --> 00:42:36,851
That fight
717
00:42:39,256 --> 00:42:41,588
was the first
honest interaction
718
00:42:41,659 --> 00:42:44,093
you and I have had
since we came back to work.
719
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:50,031
If we're painfully, brutally
honest with each other,
720
00:42:50,601 --> 00:42:53,001
maybe we'll get lucky again.
721
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,971
You've got a big ass.
