You've already had three.
So what? They're free.

00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,442
I got a birthday.
Get it yourself.
7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,681
No wonder he doesn't
get any tips.

We'll dance, eat cake
and do the rump shake

Jack, wake up!
Call your parents.
22

Tell them to go to
Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.

His cath was clean and

I'm explaining a symptom.

Kid's been hanging
over a toilet despite
antiemetic therapy.
38
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:54,472

increased intracranial
pressure, tumor...
40
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:59,240
Sure. Heart problems.
It's gotta be the brain.

Thank God
there's a neurologist
in the room.
44
00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:10,512
Repeated vomiting causes
an electrolyte imbalance,
45
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:13,559
which leads to an arrhythmia,
which leads to
the heart attack.
46
00:03:13,626 --> 00:03:15,958
And itchy feet.
Nope.

No, it's not. But it could be.

Nothing.

why don't...

You can't know what's wrong
after a 30-second
perusal of his file.

Apparently, you can't.
Now, what's a game
without rules?

No tag-backs. No biting.
You get one test each.

And the clock runs
until lunch. If I'm right,
he'll still be alive.

He's frozen my assets.
He's on a crusade.

00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:05,443
You're a person of interest
in a narcotics investigation.
63
00:04:05,511 --> 00:04:07,206
You're linked to their suspect
and his activities.
64

I'm not Pablo Escobar's
evil henchman cruising into
Miami in a Cigarette boat.

I'm a physician
who prescribed Vicodin
to a pain patient.
66
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,749
This police report you faxed
me says they found 600 pills
in his apartment.
67
00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:18,984
You prescribe those?
68
00:04:19,058 --> 00:04:21,891
He's in chronic pain.
This is obviously
an abuse of power.
69
00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:23,019
Is that a yes or no?
70
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:25,360
Patients build up
a tolerance over the years.
71
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,899
Perfect motive for him
to forge those scripts.
72
00:04:27,967 --> 00:04:29,525
Still don't have an answer.
73
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:31,502
What are we, like,
role-playing?
Yeah.
74
00:04:31,571 --> 00:04:32,799
And you suck at it.
75
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:36,501
Which is really unfortunate,
because you're pretending
to be you.
76
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:38,305
I gotta get to court.
77
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:40,141
Michael told me
you could help me
get my car back.
78
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:43,546
Yeah, divorce lawyers
usually know the ins and outs
of drug enforcement.
79
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:44,674
You want your car back?
80
00:04:44,751 --> 00:04:46,378
You're gonna have to
give the cops what they want.
81
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:50,411
Thanks. Usually people
feel helpless
in these situations.
82
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,924
Dr. House is
probably going to jail.
83
00:04:52,992 --> 00:04:56,223
You keep on lying for him,
you'll go right along
with him.
84
00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:00,561
House was on this page
when he got that annoying
"I'm such a genius" look.
85
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:02,225
What's there?
Patient history.
86
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,271
He's 18.
Probably drinks,
smokes, does drugs.
87
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:07,365
How close am I?
88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,500
Quit drugs when
his parents died.
Quit smoking.
89
00:05:12,545 --> 00:05:16,242
House didn't
mock my viral idea.
He just said it was wrong.
90
00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:17,881
Which means
he didn't want to
give reasons.
91
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:20,316
Which means
I must have been close.
92
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:23,049
I'm thinking bacterial.
93
00:05:23,122 --> 00:05:24,919
I'm doing a blood culture.
94
00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:27,081
I am doing an MRI.
95
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,127
If it was a tumor,
96
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,856
intracranial pressure could
cause his brain to
herniate before lunch.
97
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:32,261
Same thing with
the stress test.
98
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:34,960
Which is why I'm ditching it.
What are you doing instead?
99
00:05:35,034 --> 00:05:36,160
Not telling.
100
00:05:36,235 --> 00:05:38,135
Seriously?
You're playing his game?
101
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:41,071
We're all playing his game.
Might as well enjoy it.
102
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,537
Anybody else sick at work?
103
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,543
I had a stomachache
before him.
104
00:05:46,612 --> 00:05:48,944
This isn't your fault, Will.
Keep working.
105
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,505
My brother's in the hospital.
106
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:53,279
Mrs. Collier won't care
if I finish my homework.
107
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,049
Your brother cares
if you finish your homework.
108
00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:10,432
Can I be your
imaginary friend?
109
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:12,694
He's a doctor.
110
00:06:13,239 --> 00:06:15,366
How are the feet?
Still itch?
111
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:20,507
Is that important?
I don't know. Is it?
112
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,042
What kinds of drugs
you into?
113
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:26,676
You don't have to
talk about that right now.
114
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:27,777
No, it's okay.
115
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:29,014
I don't keep secrets
from them.
116
00:06:29,088 --> 00:06:31,318
They know I did drugs
before our parents died.
117
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:35,122
Clever. Admit the past.
Deny the present.
118
00:06:35,194 --> 00:06:36,422
I'm clean.
119
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:39,192
I'm raising two kids.
It'd be pretty irresponsible,
wouldn't it?
120
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:41,665
But confiding in
an eight-year-old is okay.
121
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,895
If I'm open with them,
then they'll be open with me.
122
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,872
Yeah.
Turning the other cheek's
a good strategy in boxing.
123
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:49,737
Kids don't lie because
they got trust issues.
124
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:51,868
They lie because
they've got something to hide.
125
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:52,968
Look at him.
126
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:55,411
He's sitting there
doing nothing
and he's still lying.
127
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:57,449
We don't lie to Jack.
128
00:06:57,517 --> 00:06:59,678
Spelling test you failed
and forgot to...
No.
129
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:00,776
Math test?
No.
130
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:04,550
Fight with the kid
sitting next to you?
He doesn't sit next to me.
131
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,454
And the other one's
probably having sex.
132
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:10,325
I am not.
Yet.
133
00:07:10,396 --> 00:07:13,058
But when you start,
you're gonna lie about it.
134
00:07:23,075 --> 00:07:25,635
Colder.
I'm not playing.
135
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,979
Keep very still for me, Jack.
This won't take long.
136
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:32,746
How much dope did you smoke?
137
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:35,913
Does he have to be here?
No. Ignore him.
138
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:38,956
It's not his lungs.
I never said it was.
139
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:41,516
What about the cigarettes?
How'd you quit?
140
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:43,858
Gum? The patch? Hypnosis?
141
00:07:44,063 --> 00:07:46,759
He went from two packs
to nothing, cold turkey.
142
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:49,831
Or we could just
make small talk.
143
00:07:49,902 --> 00:07:51,836
You still seeing
that nurse in Pedes?
144
00:07:51,904 --> 00:07:53,394
I just don't think
she's right for you.
145
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,500
You need someone detached,
calculating, ambitious.
146
00:07:57,577 --> 00:07:59,511
You need yourself in a skirt.
147
00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:01,638
Jack, he asked you a question.
148
00:08:01,714 --> 00:08:04,979
I didn't really quit.
I just sort of
lost taste for it.
149
00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:08,444
Interesting. Sounds like
one of those symptom thingies.
150
00:08:08,521 --> 00:08:12,514
He's still puking,
and he had a heart attack
and itchy feet.
151
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:15,590
It's not his lungs.
I never said it was.
152
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:21,556
Ice cold.
153
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:29,064
I'm injecting ergonovine
to see if your heart attack
154
00:08:29,141 --> 00:08:32,838
was caused by
a spasm in the vessels
surrounding your heart.
155
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:36,143
Let me know if
anything feels... unusual.
156
00:08:38,317 --> 00:08:41,718
If the problems are at
my heart, why did that other
doctor look at my brain?
157
00:08:41,787 --> 00:08:44,620
Yeah. Why did
that other doctor
look at his brain?
158
00:08:45,057 --> 00:08:48,424
We're just trying to eliminate
as many possibilities
as we can.
159
00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:51,486
So because you think
that a spasm caused
his heart attack,
160
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:53,862
you're gonna induce
another spasm?
161
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:55,628
Did you consent to this?
162
00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:57,297
CAMERON:
Everything's under control.
163
00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:00,897
Tests are gonna identify
which arteries are affected
so we can repair them.
164
00:09:00,973 --> 00:09:03,100
Your meds don't seem
to be doing anything.
165
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:04,870
So either you're wrong,
166
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:08,675
or his system hasn't
been pushed enough
to set anything off.
167
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:18,221
You wanna get back home,
right?
168
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:22,284
I mean, you're probably
already falling behind with
the housework and the bills.
169
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:26,058
How many sick days
you think you'll get
before they replace you?
170
00:09:28,134 --> 00:09:30,159
Heart rate's up. Nothing else.
171
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:33,064
They can't fire me
if I'm sick.
172
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:35,198
Right. You're irreplaceable.
173
00:09:35,274 --> 00:09:37,936
Who else would they find
qualified to dance
with a rodent?
174
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:39,807
How can you even
support your family?
175
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,474
What happens when those kids
grow out of their clothes?
When they get sick?
176
00:09:43,549 --> 00:09:45,176
Still no spasm.
177
00:09:45,451 --> 00:09:47,180
They'll take those kids
away from you, Jack.
178
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:51,519
Maybe I should bring them
in here right now so that
you can kiss them goodbye.
179
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:55,588
Can't you see
his heart is fine!
Stop torturing him!
180
00:09:55,661 --> 00:09:57,788
What kind of doctor are you?
181
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:02,428
CUDDY: Wonderful.
Thank you so much. Okay, bye.
182
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:05,733
You're just getting here?
Busses suck.
183
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:08,239
Where's your car?
It's a hostage.
184
00:10:08,307 --> 00:10:10,537
Tritter wants me to
testify against House.
185
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:11,872
You're not going to.
186
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:13,775
Is that a question
or an order?
187
00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:16,644
Any sort of conviction
will cost House
his license...
188
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,183
Which will cost
this hospital. Relax.
189
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:20,150
I'm not gonna mess
with your precious resource.
190
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:23,655
I told my lawyer to
tell Tritter to go to hell.
Marco!
191
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,458
Why are all my prescriptions
getting bounced back?
192
00:10:27,526 --> 00:10:30,222
Sorry, Dr. Wilson.
I was trying to call you.
Where's your phone?
193
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:31,285
In my car.
194
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:32,422
My patients,
on the other hand,
195
00:10:32,498 --> 00:10:34,022
are here and
needed their medications.
196
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,297
I'm sorry. I can't.
Your DEA number's
been suspended.
197
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:42,773
HOUSE.: Why so sad?
198
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:45,676
There's still a chance
that Chase got it right.
199
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:46,905
(GROANS)
200
00:10:46,979 --> 00:10:49,607
That was suspenseful
for about two seconds.
201
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:52,616
Blood culture was
negative for bacteria.
202
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:55,252
But positive for hepatitis A?
203
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,651
I wonder who could've ordered
that extra test.
204
00:10:58,724 --> 00:11:00,988
Must be somebody who knew
what persistent vomiting,
205
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,153
sudden distaste for nicotine
and itchy feet have in common.
206
00:11:03,229 --> 00:11:04,958
Hep A doesn't explain
the heart attack.
207
00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:08,865
No. But as Chase so deftly
pointed out earlier,
puking does.
208
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:10,765
And hep A
explains the puking.
209
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:14,101
If this had been real life
instead of just a game...
210
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:20,040
The DEA just revoked
my prescription privileges.
211
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,711
Well, who's gonna
prescribe my Vicodin?
212
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:24,113
Yes, well,
that's why I'm here.
213
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:25,650
This is a disaster for you.
214
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:27,015
Relax.
215
00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:29,479
Tritter's just getting
desperate. He's got
no real evidence.
216
00:11:29,555 --> 00:11:31,045
He's trying to
squeeze you into ratting.
217
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:33,455
I'm not gonna
let him squeeze my patients.
218
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,859
They'll be fine.
Most of your cancer medicine
sucks anyway.
219
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:42,827
I'm gonna use your team
to do my prescribing until
this is straightened out.
220
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:46,303
Suddenly this doesn't seem
nearly as dramatic.
221
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:50,138
Go pump IVIG into the kid,
cure him and
get him out of here.
222
00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:54,573
Hep A?
No.
223
00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:57,314
"Chase, blood test
for bacteria.
224
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:59,476
"Foreman, MRI,
too stubborn to
check the lungs.
225
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,713
"Cameron, nice try. No spasm."
226
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:09,018
"But the princess sat
and sat and sat,
227
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:12,053
"pretending not to listen."
228
00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:18,027
Pretending to write
in her journal
with the flowers on it.
229
00:12:19,672 --> 00:12:23,039
Pretending she didn't like
stories about eight-year-olds
who save the world.
230
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,167
I'm 11.
231
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:25,767
Which is why
you can no longer
save the world.
232
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:27,642
I'm eight!
Yeah.
233
00:12:28,547 --> 00:12:30,208
We're all completely
dependent on you.
234
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:31,579
Morning.
Morning.
235
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:34,915
Good news.
We can take you off the IVIG.
236
00:12:34,987 --> 00:12:39,185
The hep A has cleared
your system. You'll be good
to go by tomorrow.
237
00:12:40,025 --> 00:12:41,356
How do you think I got it?
238
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:42,951
Well, it could've been
contaminated food.
239
00:12:43,028 --> 00:12:47,362
It could've been from cleaning
the bathrooms at work.
Or it could've been...
240
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,965
Don't worry.
They've heard it all.
241
00:12:51,036 --> 00:12:52,765
Anilingus is a common way.
242
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:54,968
You should just
tell the people
that you've dated
243
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,201
they should get
themselves checked.
244
00:12:57,576 --> 00:12:58,634
Don't worry.
245
00:12:58,711 --> 00:13:01,202
I've been too busy
chasing after these guys
to go spelunking.
246
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,645
You're gross.
247
00:13:03,516 --> 00:13:06,383
I think.
Does your arm hurt?
248
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:07,544
Arm's fine, bro.
249
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,350
Then why's it bleeding?
It's not. It's...
250
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,550
Raise your arm
above your head.
251
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:19,455
Your ear... And your nose...
252
00:13:28,741 --> 00:13:32,643
FOREMAN: High PT and PTT
on Jack's blood panel
confirm a coagulopathy.
253
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:38,342
So, we cure the hep A,
something else pops up.
254
00:13:38,851 --> 00:13:40,011
Interesting.
255
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:43,284
What infections cause DIC?
256
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:45,979
You okay?
257
00:13:47,026 --> 00:13:49,517
Hurt my shoulder
playing fantasy football.
258
00:13:49,595 --> 00:13:51,222
Shall we discuss
what causes DIC,
259
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:53,925
or should we just
send the kid back
to his miserable life?
260
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:56,024
He's not miserable.
Right.
261
00:13:56,101 --> 00:13:58,433
He's thrilled that
his parents are dead
and his life is over.
262
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:01,735
The restaurant's probably
teeming with E. Coli,
Eikenella and strep.
263
00:14:01,807 --> 00:14:04,275
Kids don't wash their hands
between the potty
and the party and...
264
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:06,811
Or it's a food-borne toxin.
Jack eats at that cesspool
every day.
265
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,779
And Jack's the only one
who got sick?
266
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,907
Kid's got tattoos, piercings
267
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:13,247
and probably
some nasty little girl
who loaned him the hep A.
268
00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:15,412
Could've also given him
syphilis or gonorrhea.
269
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:17,250
I need one of you.
Take Cameron.
270
00:14:17,323 --> 00:14:19,348
Your idea was dumb anyway.
271
00:14:19,558 --> 00:14:23,858
Chase, I need you to head back
to that cesspool and
get me the kid's puke.
272
00:14:23,929 --> 00:14:27,660
Foreman, do an LP
and have Cameron run down
that potty-party theory.
273
00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:29,792
Why don't I just test him?
274
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:33,672
Let's not discuss this
in front of the help.
275
00:14:38,477 --> 00:14:41,378
The amount of vomiting
that kid did,
276
00:14:41,447 --> 00:14:44,473
there wouldn't be enough
toxins left in his system
to show up in his blood.
277
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,041
And since he vomited
in the toilet here
instead of on somebody,
278
00:14:47,119 --> 00:14:50,054
that restaurant
is our only source
of essential vomit.
279
00:14:50,122 --> 00:14:51,749
And you couldn't say that
in front of Foreman?
280
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:56,625
No, I couldn't say this
in front of Foreman.
I need a refill.
281
00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:59,596
Detective Tritter knows about
the scripts I wrote before.
282
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:02,759
Exactly. If you stop now,
it'll look suspicious.
283
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,059
Does anyone fall
for that argument?
284
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:07,105
Write the script.
285
00:15:07,773 --> 00:15:08,762
No.
286
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,399
One prescription
isn't gonna make...
287
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:13,104
We both know
it's not gonna be just one.
288
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:16,007
I'd rather lose my job
than lose my license.
289
00:15:23,455 --> 00:15:29,121
Daniel Silvers, prostate
cancer. Needs filgrastim,
two-week supply.
290
00:15:29,194 --> 00:15:31,856
Andrea Donovan,
breast cancer.
291
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,365
Just needs her refill
on her megestrol.
292
00:15:35,734 --> 00:15:37,395
You're not writing.
You want me to write?
293
00:15:37,469 --> 00:15:40,302
Well, you could phone them in.
But eventually, yeah,
294
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:43,341
probably somebody's gonna want
something written down.
295
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:45,900
I haven't met these people.
I have.
296
00:15:46,312 --> 00:15:49,145
I've diagnosed them
and everything.
I know.
297
00:15:49,715 --> 00:15:52,149
I know. I'm not saying
I don't trust you.
298
00:15:52,217 --> 00:15:53,650
Just my diagnoses.
299
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:56,347
These are gonna be
my prescriptions. I...
They're my patients.
300
00:15:56,422 --> 00:15:58,413
My prescriptions.
My name!
301
00:16:00,192 --> 00:16:02,626
That Tritter will read
on the script.
302
00:16:03,329 --> 00:16:07,925
He wants to make you
miserable. You don't think
he's gonna ask questions?
303
00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:09,193
(SIGHS)
304
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:12,897
Is there anything Jack does
that no one else does?
Any special duties?
305
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:15,202
No, we got lots of bussers.
306
00:16:15,407 --> 00:16:17,534
What kind of cleaning products
do you use?
307
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:20,544
We got a bunch of kids
running around, sticking
everything in their mouths,
308
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:23,775
so we can't use
anything toxic.
309
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,877
This is it. Monday's trash.
310
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:36,353
So there's no one
who can maybe help
get the bags out?
311
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:37,918
Sorry. Short-handed.
312
00:16:38,464 --> 00:16:39,726
I can tip.
313
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:43,293
I'm pretty sure Jack's puke
is in a blue trash bag
with the wrapped gifts,
314
00:16:43,369 --> 00:16:46,532
but if you find spaghetti
that's the wrong vomit.
315
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:57,939
How much longer
do I have to stay on
this medication?
316
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:00,144
I mean, I'm nauseous
all the time.
317
00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:03,110
Maybe I should go back
on the tamoxifen.
318
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:05,213
You're doing so much better
on the anastrozole, Beth.
319
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:06,951
I'm reluctant to
make a change.
320
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:10,928
I can't play with my daughter
or pick her up from school.
321
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:12,722
I can barely get up
and tuck her in at night.
322
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:15,392
There's got to be
something else.
323
00:17:15,467 --> 00:17:16,764
Who is she?
324
00:17:16,835 --> 00:17:19,531
Well, as you know,
this is a teaching hospital.
325
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:22,036
She's a student?
No, I'm a doctor.
326
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:23,768
I'm assisting
Dr. Wilson today.
327
00:17:23,842 --> 00:17:25,867
Why? Do you think he got
my diagnosis wrong?
328
00:17:25,944 --> 00:17:28,344
No. I'm sure...
No. No.
329
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:31,406
She's just consulting
regarding my prescriptions.
330
00:17:31,483 --> 00:17:34,145
You think he got
my meds wrong?
No. It's just...
331
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:36,517
No.
Then why is she here?
332
00:17:42,528 --> 00:17:44,325
What are you doing now?
333
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,756
I'm gonna get a sample
of your brother's
spinal fluid.
334
00:17:48,033 --> 00:17:49,864
Where's Will?
School.
335
00:17:52,271 --> 00:17:53,533
Is that gonna hurt?
336
00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:56,597
It's gonna help us figure out
what's making him sick.
337
00:17:56,675 --> 00:17:59,303
Shouldn't you be
in class, too?
Teacher work day.
338
00:17:59,378 --> 00:18:00,845
For you but not Will?
339
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,211
Yeah, didn't make
sense to me, either.
340
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:07,744
Can I help?
341
00:18:09,321 --> 00:18:13,553
Well, I guess it's quicker
than calling a nurse
and a truant officer.
342
00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:17,592
Okay, grab his shins
and push his knees up
towards his chest.
343
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,494
Now hold him there tight.
344
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,397
This all nurses do?
345
00:18:25,571 --> 00:18:28,267
My boss doesn't trust them
to do anything else.
346
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:30,800
(JACK GROANING)
347
00:18:33,912 --> 00:18:35,539
Is he gonna die?
348
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:40,612
No. No one's gonna die.
349
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:43,154
In the whole world ever?
That's so great.
350
00:18:44,923 --> 00:18:47,050
I meant...
I know what you meant.
351
00:18:48,527 --> 00:18:50,927
But I also know
bad things do happen.
352
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:55,631
My dad always had a few drinks
when they went out.
353
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:58,468
Always said
he'd be okay to drive.
354
00:18:59,204 --> 00:19:00,762
Until he wasn't.
355
00:19:04,443 --> 00:19:06,968
I would just like
some warning this time.
356
00:19:11,216 --> 00:19:15,880
We're nowhere near
anything like that
happening right now. Okay?
357
00:19:19,658 --> 00:19:21,649
Let's get him back over.
358
00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:24,356
(JACK SCREAMS)
359
00:19:24,963 --> 00:19:26,225
What was that?
360
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:28,460
What did you do?
361
00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:31,769
You broke his rib?
I barely touched him.
362
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:33,096
Which means...
363
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,161
(GROANS)
364
00:19:34,406 --> 00:19:36,169
Found it.
Fix it.
365
00:19:36,608 --> 00:19:39,975
Osteomyelitis.
Means the infection's
spread to his bones,
366
00:19:40,045 --> 00:19:43,105
which means
it's either bacterial
or viral and not...
367
00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:44,543
(GROANS)
368
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:48,646
I hired you to
take away the pain.
Was there some confusion?
369
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,314
Ever thought about
using your cane
on the proper side?
370
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:52,755
Yeah, that's the issue.
371
00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:56,282
Friday night my cane
suddenly noticed
it was on the wrong side.
372
00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:59,762
Can you score me some Vicodin?
No.
373
00:19:59,831 --> 00:20:02,857
I did a needle aspiration
to confirm which...
How long till the culture's...
374
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,334
(SCREAMS)
375
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:07,167
Why do you only do that
when I'm talking?
376
00:20:07,239 --> 00:20:09,139
You gotta rest your shoulder.
377
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:12,476
And we're gonna get you
on some different equipment.
378
00:20:24,456 --> 00:20:27,687
Nice cane.
If I know what you mean.
379
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:31,428
Chase, you can stop
doing that.
I'm almost finished.
380
00:20:31,496 --> 00:20:33,396
He's got osteomyelitis.
381
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:35,956
Means you're wrong
about food-borne toxins.
382
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:41,566
And you can stop, too.
It's syphilis.
383
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:44,131
You sure?
Read the print out.
384
00:20:48,013 --> 00:20:50,413
He's also positive
for Eikenella.
385
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:57,149
One of you two screwed up.
No.
386
00:20:57,222 --> 00:20:58,712
Not a chance.
387
00:21:00,659 --> 00:21:04,993
Or this kid is a lot sicker
than we thought.
Finish that test.
388
00:21:05,063 --> 00:21:08,396
Should be impossible
to get two right answers
to one question.
389
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:12,528
It's okay to have three?
Apparently.
390
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:15,570
CHASE: He's positive
for botulism, too.
391
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:21,011
So, we knock down
one infection and
three more pop up.
392
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:24,544
I think this game is rigged.
393
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:36,786
Jack?
394
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:37,886
Somebody help!
395
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,454
FOREMAN: We've managed to
clear all three infections
out of his system,
396
00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,397
but now he's having seizures
every few hours.
397
00:21:42,467 --> 00:21:44,935
He's gotta be
immunocompromised.
No.
398
00:21:45,003 --> 00:21:47,335
White count was normal,
and he was negative for HIV.
399
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:48,600
Well, if he's not
immunocompromised,
400
00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:50,437
why is he acting like
he's immunocompromised?
401
00:21:50,509 --> 00:21:52,306
HOUSE: What do
the seizures tell us?
Nothing.
402
00:21:52,377 --> 00:21:54,436
There were no structural
abnormalities on the CT,
403
00:21:54,513 --> 00:21:57,539
nonfocal neuro exam,
no electrolyte imbalance.
Nothing.
404
00:21:57,616 --> 00:22:01,882
What do unexplained seizures
and really sick 18-year-olds
have in common?
405
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:05,320
You thinking trauma?
I'm thinking drugs.
406
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:09,420
He's an admitted user.
The drugs trashed
his immune system.
407
00:22:09,961 --> 00:22:11,223
Tox screen was clean.
408
00:22:11,296 --> 00:22:14,595
Clean tox screen means
there's no drugs
in his blood or urine.
409
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:18,762
There could still be drugs
trapped in his fat cells
from the good old days.
410
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:21,397
If they're in his fat,
why would they be
affecting him now?
411
00:22:21,473 --> 00:22:25,307
The keen observer would notice
that he's had some
digestive issues lately.
412
00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:27,675
His weight loss
could've burned off fat cells
413
00:22:27,746 --> 00:22:30,374
and released the drugs
back into his system.
414
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:33,612
FOREMAN: There's no way
to know. It's impossible to
test fat cells for drugs.
415
00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:37,143
But it's not impossible
to make him lose more weight.
416
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:40,589
You want us to starve him
so we can drive him
into another seizure?
417
00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:43,423
Maybe a heart attack?
Just so we can run
another tox screen?
418
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:46,464
That'd be cruel.
Just sweat it out of him.
419
00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:53,398
I haven't touched a thing
since the night
my parents died.
420
00:22:53,472 --> 00:22:55,872
Drugs stay in your system
a long time.
421
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:06,881
I was high the night
the cops came to
tell us what happened.
422
00:23:10,255 --> 00:23:13,418
You know the first thing I did
when they told me?
423
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,725
I laughed.
424
00:23:19,264 --> 00:23:21,732
I'm not the person
I was when they died.
425
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:24,598
I wish they could see that.
426
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:28,901
Well, I'm sure
they're watching,
and I'm sure they're proud.
427
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:32,767
That's what Will's
guidance counselor
keeps telling him.
428
00:23:32,844 --> 00:23:34,835
What do you tell him?
429
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:38,773
I tell him it's crap.
430
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:43,215
Our parents live on
in our memories,
but they don't live on.
431
00:23:51,797 --> 00:23:53,992
CHASE: Jack?
CAMERON: Hold him still.
432
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,995
Don't break his arm.
CAMERON: We'll fix it.
433
00:23:56,067 --> 00:23:57,830
We need to get a sample.
434
00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:02,098
House.
435
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:03,865
Bad news.
436
00:24:03,942 --> 00:24:05,341
Look at you.
437
00:24:06,144 --> 00:24:08,942
You couldn't have sent
Cameron down here to
this air-conditioned hallway
438
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:10,003
to deliver the bad news?
439
00:24:10,081 --> 00:24:13,517
Jack seized again,
but his blood was clean.
Completely drug free.
440
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:17,817
So he just happened to have
a seizure at the exact time
that we stuck him in a sauna?
441
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:19,015
It's not a coincidence.
442
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:22,924
He's still seizing every
few hours whether we stick
him in a sauna or not.
443
00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:26,259
Oh, my God!
Why are you using that?
444
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,391
I've had it for years.
445
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:32,635
No, that's...
That's gonna make
your shoulder hurt.
446
00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:34,296
You need one of these.
447
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:36,773
He's a doctor.
448
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:40,009
Is he still infection-free?
I'm sure not for long.
449
00:24:40,078 --> 00:24:43,707
My point being that something
other than those infections
caused these seizures.
450
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:45,340
Means there's something
in his head. Scan him.
451
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:48,284
We scanned him.
Well, that was then.
This is not then.
452
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:50,583
Kid keeps changing.
Scan him again.
453
00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:52,145
Where is Cameron?
454
00:24:52,224 --> 00:24:54,351
I am not writing you
a script for Vicodin.
455
00:24:54,426 --> 00:24:56,656
I've only got two pills left.
456
00:24:57,095 --> 00:24:59,290
Cut them in half.
Then you'll have four.
457
00:24:59,364 --> 00:25:02,026
You're prescribing for Wilson.
Wilson prescribes for me.
458
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:03,465
Write up a script.
459
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:05,503
You know
you have a problem.
Yeah.
460
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:06,867
It's got a badge
and everything.
461
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:09,668
You're taking too much...
Fine! You're right.
462
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:13,472
What's the correct amount?
Write up a script
for the correct amount.
463
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:17,577
No answer? That's 'cause
we're having the wrong debate.
464
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:19,717
This has got nothing
to do with my problem
465
00:25:19,784 --> 00:25:21,411
and everything to do with you
avoiding a problem.
466
00:25:21,486 --> 00:25:23,215
You're afraid that
if you write me a prescription
467
00:25:23,288 --> 00:25:24,414
you're gonna wind up
like Wilson.
468
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:26,013
Of course I am.
469
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:31,261
Tritter wants to win
by giving pain.
470
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,525
Do you really want
to be a part of that?
471
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,726
As a doctor,
how do you do that?
472
00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:45,031
Here.
473
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:48,378
This'll tide you over.
Takes the edge off my PMS.
474
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:50,277
Should do wonders for you.
475
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,151
Why are you
looking at my head again?
476
00:25:58,423 --> 00:26:01,256
Seizures usually indicate
something neurological.
477
00:26:01,326 --> 00:26:03,351
I'm not gonna get better.
478
00:26:04,129 --> 00:26:05,221
Am I?
479
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,721
We'll know more
after the test.
480
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:11,892
I've gotta find out
who can take care of
Will and Kama.
481
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:14,336
Let's not get ahead
of ourselves, okay?
482
00:26:15,106 --> 00:26:19,099
You'll be home yelling at them
and kicking their butts
before you know it.
483
00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:28,544
(FOREMAN SIGHS)
484
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:30,611
This kid might be facing
a terminal disease,
485
00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:32,680
and he's more worried
about his brother and sister.
486
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:34,486
CHASE: Brain stem's clean.
487
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:37,292
Nothing in the midbrain.
What's that?

00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:40,395
The frontal lobe,
upper-right quadrant.
489
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:42,960
I don't see anything.
There.
490
00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:46,801
It's tiny,
but I think it's a tumor.
491
00:26:46,871 --> 00:26:50,568
That size should be excisable.
Why didn't we see it earlier?
How could...
492
00:26:50,642 --> 00:26:51,973
Oh, God!
493
00:26:53,211 --> 00:26:55,111
Axial view.
There's another one.
494
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,875
Bring up the next slice.
495
00:27:00,151 --> 00:27:01,948
They're everywhere.
496
00:27:06,057 --> 00:27:08,958
Jack's brain is
riddled with tumors.

And you know what he's doing?
Moaning?

Setting up play dates.
Wow, what a guy. Theories?
499
00:27:15,533 --> 00:27:17,831
The obvious one,
brain cancer destroyed
his immune system,
500
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:19,733
left him wide open
for these infections.
501
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:21,999
House, you're pathetic.
502
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,773
You'll analyze
anyone's faults,
hypocrisies, weaknesses,
503
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:27,038
but this kid's
got some strength,
504
00:27:27,112 --> 00:27:30,104
and all of a sudden
there's no time to talk about
anything but the medicine.
505
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:34,277
He's teaching pre-pubescent
kids that truth matters,
God doesn't and life sucks.
506
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:36,047
I like him. Treatment?
507
00:27:36,121 --> 00:27:38,021
We need to
start him on radiation.
508
00:27:38,089 --> 00:27:40,182
That'll destroy
whatever's left of
his immune system.
509
00:27:40,258 --> 00:27:42,283
FOREMAN: And save his life!
510
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,828
I know the notion
of self-sacrifice
is foreign to you...
511
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:48,593
You wanna think that he's
sacrificing himself because
if one person can do it,
512
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:52,535
then maybe the world
isn't the cold, selfish place
you know that it is.
513
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:55,198
Radiation could kill him.
Alternatives?
514
00:27:55,273 --> 00:27:57,707
There aren't any.
We saw the tumors...
515
00:27:57,776 --> 00:28:00,244
We could choose
to say they aren't tumors.
516
00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:03,508
They're just pus, which
would explain why they
weren't there yesterday.
517
00:28:03,581 --> 00:28:06,243
It can't be an infection.
He got IVIG,
518
00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:08,012
broad-spectrum antibiotics...
Exactly.
519
00:28:08,086 --> 00:28:11,715
Creates a perfect world
for fungus, moves in,
gets married,
520
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:12,814
has little fungi...
521
00:28:12,891 --> 00:28:16,486
If you're wrong about
the fungus, you're wasting
what little time he has left.
522
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:19,086
Not a big sacrifice.
His life sucks.
523
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:23,329
So let's be right.
Go stick a needle
in the kid's head.
524
00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:24,459
If you suck out a liquid,
525
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:26,026
then I'm right
and we haven't
answered anything.
526
00:28:26,104 --> 00:28:30,200
If you suck out a solid,
you're right and no more
worrying about play dates.
527
00:28:35,847 --> 00:28:38,407
Okay. Fine.
I'll father your child.
528
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:41,577
First, you got to write me
a Vicodin prescription,
529
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:43,280
just so I can
get through the foreplay.
530
00:28:43,354 --> 00:28:44,616
How many days
do you have left?
531
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:47,385
Could probably get through
maybe the next minute or so.
532
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:50,951
And your coming to me means
your lackeys actually
stood up to you.
533
00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:52,121
I'm impressed.
534
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:54,256
Yes, their cowardice
is inspiring.
535
00:28:54,332 --> 00:28:56,232
Well, you should be
thanking them.
536
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:58,326
If they caved,
it'd give the cops evidence
537
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:01,463
that you intimidated
underlings to
feed your addiction.
538
00:29:01,639 --> 00:29:03,368
I hate writing
thank-you notes.
539
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:07,309
Would it be weird if I asked
Cameron to write them?
You're hooking me up?
540
00:29:07,378 --> 00:29:10,370
Unfortunately,
if I cut you off,
it'd give the cops evidence
541
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:11,813
that you don't really
need the pain meds.
542
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:15,444
I knew that cleavage
was a smokescreen.
You're a genius.
543
00:29:17,489 --> 00:29:19,957
You can't lift your arm.
You can't pee standing up.
544

Gimme.
You been doing physio?
545
00:29:22,927 --> 00:29:23,951
Maybe you pulled...
Yeah.

Been training for
Pants-Off Dance-Off.
Give me the script.

Your shoulder problem
isn't physical.
548
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:32,160
We'll find out
if you ever give me that...
What's new?
549
00:29:32,237 --> 00:29:34,467
What's different?
Any big changes
in your life recently?
550
00:29:34,539 --> 00:29:36,268

556
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,962
They were abscesses
from a fungal infection.
Aspergillus.
557

FOREMAN: But we still have
no idea why.
558
00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:08,971
Our kid's immune system
has a factory defect.
559

HOUSE: It's genetic.
It can't be genetic.
560
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:13,101
He would've been
getting infections
since he was an infant.
561
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:16,477
Not if he grew up in a bubble.
Or if he grew up on Mars.
562
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:19,483
No germs there, either.
I don't mean a literal bubble.
563

where mommies and daddies
protect their children.

They die. Bubble bursts.

Continuing emotional trauma
triggers the genetic illness.
566
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,316
Question is, which one?
567
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:33,057
HOUSE: The infections
he's contracted
narrow down the possibilities.
568

a problem with his B cells.

the syphilis tell us?

What does it tell us?
578
00:30:58,356 --> 00:31:00,790
It could mean
chronic granulomatous disease.
579
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:04,795
And the aspergillus is
a T cell issue. Common
variable immunodeficiency.

Genetic testing's
gonna take time.
581
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,290

he's picking up infections...

Why don't we
turn it into a race?

The infections
we're gonna give him.

The only way to cure me
is to make me sicker?
587

Each of the four
possible genetic conditions
588
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:30,547
is most susceptible to
different types of infection.

And how are you
gonna know which one
gains the most ground?

Well, that's the fun part.
595
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,706
See, if the meningococcus
is king of the hill, you get
to have another seizure.
596
00:31:53,778 --> 00:31:57,771
Serratia will shut down
your lungs. If it's cepacia,
you'll have a heart attack.
597
00:31:57,849 --> 00:32:00,682
And if it's the rhinovirus,
you'll sneeze.
598

00:36:23,748 --> 00:36:25,511
But you can't accept that.
664
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:28,051
It's easy to
reject the diagnosis.
665
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:30,781
Not so easy to
reject your misanthropy,
666
00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:35,083
because then
you'd have to give people
a fighting chance.
667
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:38,060
And that scares
the crap out of you.
668
00:36:40,298 --> 00:36:41,287
Okay.
669
00:36:43,801 --> 00:36:45,598
Let's get some evidence.
670
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:53,800
It's your lucky day.
671
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:57,279
HOUSE: Just found another
donor in the registry.
Perfect match.
672
00:36:57,415 --> 00:37:00,145
We can do the transplant
with no danger to the rug rat.
673
00:37:00,218 --> 00:37:01,845
Just have to sign here.
674
00:37:04,388 --> 00:37:07,118
Unless there's another reason
you don't want it.
675
00:37:07,825 --> 00:37:09,486
There's a chance I'd die.
676
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,289
A chance you'll be cured.
677
00:37:12,430 --> 00:37:14,557
Maybe you don't
want that, either.
678
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:17,833
Maybe hanging out in
a hospital getting waited on
hand and foot
679
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:22,134
reminds you of what life used
to be like before you were
forced to play Mister Mom.
680
00:37:22,206 --> 00:37:24,037
I don't like being sick.
681
00:37:24,108 --> 00:37:26,576
But you don't want
to be healthy, either.
682
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:28,769
This is your way out.
683
00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:30,345
Guilt free.
684
00:37:31,582 --> 00:37:33,743
I said I'd do it
when Will's 18.
685
00:37:33,818 --> 00:37:36,651
And he's able to take care
of himself without you.
686
00:37:38,222 --> 00:37:41,851
Jack, your brother
and sister need you.
I know!
687
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:44,326
I know every second of
every day that they need me,
688
00:37:44,395 --> 00:37:46,488
but I'm too young
to be their dad.
689
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:57,070
Good for you.
690
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:05,505
Don't pretend
you're surprised.
691
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:23,830
Want to go throw stuff
at people off the balcony?
692
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:27,501
Come on. Mail can wait.
693
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:30,471
I'm referring my patients
to other oncologists.
694
00:38:30,541 --> 00:38:33,009
I'm shutting down my practice.
Oh, good.
695
00:38:33,411 --> 00:38:34,776
'Cause I was afraid
you might overreact.
696
00:38:34,845 --> 00:38:36,506
I can't just ask
my patients to wait
697
00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:39,242
because Dr. Cameron's boss
won't let her come out
and play!
698
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:42,150
I kept you waiting
for maybe an hour...
Three hours!
699
00:38:42,953 --> 00:38:45,421
Anybody die?
Not this time.
700
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:48,549
Cameron's available now.
Use her all you want.
701
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:51,151
So now's a better time for me
to have my life taken away?
702
00:38:51,228 --> 00:38:54,061
It fits into
your schedule better?
Oh, poor you.
703
00:38:54,432 --> 00:38:57,401
Think if you suffer
loudly enough...
You committed a crime!
704
00:38:57,468 --> 00:38:58,958
What do you want me to do?
Turn myself in?
705
00:38:59,036 --> 00:39:02,528
Yes! Yes! Do something!
Go in! Show some remorse!
706
00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:04,005
Tell Tritter
you'll get some help!
707
00:39:04,075 --> 00:39:05,667
I don't need help!
708
00:39:07,311 --> 00:39:10,610
House, get out of here.
Get out of here.
709
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:17,043
You are not gonna make me
feel guilty about what
Tritter is doing to us.
710
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:18,645
(SCOFFS)
711
00:39:18,723 --> 00:39:20,315
You already feel guilty.
712
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:24,020
Your mysterious shoulder pain
isn't coming from your cane.
713
00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:26,188
It's coming from
your conscience.
714
00:39:27,131 --> 00:39:28,758
That used to be enough.
715
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,062
Despite all
your smartass remarks,
I knew you gave a damn.
716
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:33,535
This time...
717
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:39,239
You were either gonna
help me through this
or you weren't.
718
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:41,102
I got my answer.
719
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,155
Who's gonna
drive me to school,
720
00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:01,195
help me with my homework?
721
00:40:01,265 --> 00:40:03,529
There'll be a mom
where they take you.
722
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:07,798
A real mom,
someone who can cook.
723
00:40:12,977 --> 00:40:15,707
Don't worry.
I'll still be able to
see you guys.
724
00:41:01,058 --> 00:41:04,152
You said
you'd make him better.
725
00:41:04,361 --> 00:41:05,760
I'm sorry.
726
00:41:18,342 --> 00:41:20,333
Thank you
for not telling them.
727
00:41:22,179 --> 00:41:23,578
You're a good kid.
728
00:41:25,449 --> 00:41:29,078
Three months from now,
six months from now,
729
00:41:30,354 --> 00:41:34,154
you'll be visiting them
and you won't be able
to say goodbye.
730
00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:36,952
You're gonna know
you screwed up.
731
00:41:38,295 --> 00:41:41,787
You'll take his bone marrow
and you'll take them back.
732
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:45,992
And they'll be a burden
and a pain,
733
00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:51,032
and your life will never be
what it was supposed to be.
734
00:41:52,543 --> 00:41:54,568
But you'll be proud
of yourself.
735
00:41:57,214 --> 00:42:00,479
And your parents,
they'll be proud of you.
736
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:05,720
I don't think so.
737
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,257
(SIGHS)
738
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,589
It's what I wanna believe.
