1

00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:16,815

It's cold.
2
00:00:21,988 --> 00:00:23,956
Good. Thank you.
3
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:27,016
There's a new girl
at the ice cream store.
4
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:30,586
She doesn't seem too fond
of buttoning her top button.
5
00:00:30,663 --> 00:00:32,153
Let's go check her out.
6
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:57,442
What are we
supposed to be doing?
7
00:01:57,517 --> 00:01:58,677
It's almost 4:00.
8
00:01:58,751 --> 00:02:00,218
You got somewhere to be?
9
00:02:00,286 --> 00:02:02,345
We know he likes
to manipulate people.
10
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:04,447
He's probably testing us.
11
00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:06,253
To find out what?
12
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:08,123
How long we can
look stupid for?
13
00:02:10,196 --> 00:02:11,959
He said
he'd be here by 3:00.
14
00:02:12,031 --> 00:02:13,862

He's obviously not coming.

15
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,395
I'm going home.
Nobody follow her.
16
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,803
She Pied Pipered nine people
right out of a job last week.
17
00:02:25,545 --> 00:02:28,309
Would you mind holding
my metaphor for a second?
18
00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:31,406
New patient,
37-year-old male.
19
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:33,782
Suffers from severe
ascending muscle weakness.
20
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:35,684
Why are you late?
To see who'd put up with it.
21
00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:37,346
So, if we'd have left,
we would have been fired?
22
00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:39,448
I was going to fire
whoever stuck around,
23
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:42,256
but since
everyone stuck around...
24
00:02:45,031 --> 00:02:49,127
28/ curvature of the spine
has caused reduced lung capacity
25
00:02:49,202 --> 00:02:50,931
and he has reduced
the bone mineral density.
26
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:53,404
The patient has

spinal muscular atrophy.

27
00:02:53,473 --> 00:02:55,964
It's genetic, incurable.
28
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,939
This is not
a diagnostic mystery.
29
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,673
You have just given the
state secrets to the enemy.
30
00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:02,714
What enemy?
New patient, new rules.
31
00:03:02,782 --> 00:03:05,342
Today, you're going to split
yourselves into two teams.
32
00:03:05,418 --> 00:03:07,784
The first to figure out what's
threatening to deprive the patient
33
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:10,049
of the 20 or so miserable years he's got left
34
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:12,751
with SMA gets to
keep their jobs.
35
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:15,123
Take off your numbers.
You look stupid.
36
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,662
And I think I know
who you are by now.
37
00:03:16,729 --> 00:03:18,458
Wait, how do you
want us to split up?
38
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:22,058
Good question, Overly
Excited Former Foster Kid.

39
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,261
There's 10 of you.
40
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,497
I was thinking six
against six? No, wait.
41
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,130
How about women versus men?
42
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,801
Excellent suggestion,
Fat Twin.
43
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:32,037
More interesting
than evens versus odds.
44
00:03:32,111 --> 00:03:34,579
Less interesting than
shirts against skins.
45
00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:37,912
If your sex organs dangle,
you're the Confederates.
46
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:40,976
If your sex organs are aesthetically
pleasing, you're the Yanks.
47
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:44,285
Dr. House? I'd like to be on the men's team.
48
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:47,053
Do your sex organs dangle,
Cutthroat Bitch?
49
00:03:47,126 --> 00:03:49,356
Not yet.
You've never hired more
50
00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:51,488
than one female
on your team before.
51
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:53,259
If you're going to

purge an entire gender

52
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,358
it isn't going
to be the danglers.
53
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:59,064
Sounds logical, if you don't think
about it for more than three seconds.
54
00:03:59,172 --> 00:04:01,834
I just told you that if the
danglers lose, they're out.
55
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,376
So, I can only assume you're
hiding the real reason.
56
00:04:04,477 --> 00:04:06,342
You don't think the women
will be aggressive enough,
57
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,403
will be good enough at science.
They'll be too emotional.
58
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:09,948
Can I switch teams?
59
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:13,583
If the danglers are okay,
I'm okay.
60
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:15,780
We're not okay.
I get it.
61
00:04:15,855 --> 00:04:18,551
You don't like me because maybe
I'm a little bit competitive.
62
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:19,649
Manipulative.
63
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:21,353
"Cutthroat Bitch"
is your official title.

64
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:23,861
It's a game. You can either
play for fun or play to win.
65
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:26,865
If you want to win,
you want "Cutthroat".
66
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:28,996
No, thank you.
67
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,434
First thing we have to
do is get inside his head.
68
00:04:31,537 --> 00:04:32,697
It's not psychological.
69
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:35,036
I'm not talking about the
patient, I'm talking about House.
70
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,633
He's insane,
but he's not irresponsible.
71
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,201
He wouldn't be playing this game if
he didn't already know the answer.
72
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,111
The first thing we do
is gang-bang the sucker.
73
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:45,013
There's five of us.
We can run dozens of tests.
74
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:47,177
We don't need a theory.
We just need brute force.
75
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:48,845
What about the assist dog?
76
00:04:48,921 --> 00:04:52,118
Picks bacteria-infested things up

with its bacteria-infested mouth,

77
00:04:52,191 --> 00:04:53,317
hands them over to the guy...
78
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:54,883
It's not the dog,
wouldn't be fair.
79
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:57,088
To who?
Whom.
80
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:59,825
The men. House knows I used to be a vet.
81
00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:02,197
If the dog's the answer,
they'd be at a handicap.
82
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:03,633
What about the dog?
83
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:05,068
Assist dogs put
everything in their mouth.
84
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:06,469
Money, doorknobs...
85
00:05:06,539 --> 00:05:08,632
Great.
That's not what I said.
86
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,403
Why do you think a low sodium... I don't.
87
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:12,569
Patient took a trip to
Thailand two weeks ago.
88
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:15,170
Hey, write bigger and angle the
board more so they can see it.
89
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:16,408
This is wrong.

90
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:17,574
It's only wrong
if they cheat off us.
91
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:18,878
And if they cheat
off us, they're wrong.
92
00:05:18,951 --> 00:05:22,318
They're not cheating,
but one of them is moving.
93
00:05:26,259 --> 00:05:29,092
Hey. Stop playing with your
sutures or I'll have to re-do them.
94
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:32,689
Why do you guys keep a D-cell
battery in a urine specimen cup?
95
00:05:32,765 --> 00:05:34,858
Because we pulled it
from a patient's intestine.
96
00:05:34,934 --> 00:05:37,198
Why would somebody
swallow a battery?
97
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:39,500
Why do you assume
it was swallowed?
98
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:41,631
Bed five needs a bag
of Ringer's lactate.
99
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:44,302
Would have been worse
if he'd used a nine-volt.
100
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:46,368
Who said it was a "he"?
101
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:47,970
False assumptions.
You're good.

102
00:05:48,047 --> 00:05:49,378
You're trying to get
me to think like him.
103
00:05:49,449 --> 00:05:52,782
And you're trying to kiss my
ass. Why are you talking to me?
104
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:56,981
Because House is turning patient
care into a game. It's dangerous.
105
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:59,991
The patient's going
to suffer. Maybe die.
106
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:09,000
Wow! You really need
a shave.
107
00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,100
See what I did there?
108
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:13,796
Whoa.
109
00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:23,572
Interesting.
110
00:06:25,485 --> 00:06:28,283
I need a crash cart
in here!
111
00:06:37,663 --> 00:06:39,290
I didn't do it.
112
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,926
When a person faints,
it's because they're
113
00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:44,469
not getting enough
blood to their brain.
114
00:06:44,537 --> 00:06:46,698
The act of falling
corrects the problem.

115
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:50,298
You faint again strapped into that
power chair where you can't fall,
116
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:51,775
you might not wake up.
117
00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:53,539
Killed by
an assistive device?
118
00:06:53,679 --> 00:06:55,374
At least
my death would be ironic.
119
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:56,573
I think when you
went to Thailand,
120
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:59,083
you picked up a threadworm
called strongyloides.
121
00:06:59,152 --> 00:07:00,346
They usually go up
through your feet.
122
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,684
I didn't do a lot of
walking on the beach.
123
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:05,690
But I assume you did have
someone lay you down in the sand.
124
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:09,990
Bare back, bare legs increases
exposure tenfold over bare feet.
125
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:14,162
Two pills.
You'll be all better.
126
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:19,837
Can I have some water for those, please?
127

00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:25,337

Hey, take a number!
128
00:07:25,411 --> 00:07:26,605
House didn't say anything about taking turns.
129
00:07:26,679 --> 00:07:27,771
What's she testing you for?
130
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:30,748
Don't. They'll spend all
day obsessing over my idea
131
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:32,978
instead of coming up
with one of their own.
132
00:07:33,052 --> 00:07:35,020
And, hey,
I might be wrong.
133
00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:36,918
Seriously. I'm worried that if we don't know
134
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:38,422
what she's given you,
there could be conflicts.
135
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:39,617
No, you're not.
136
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:41,785
House told me he's
keeping track of all that.
137
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:44,352
Ten doctors. I should
be getting ten cures.
138
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:47,160
We need blood,
hair, and stool.
139
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:48,996
You poop and then
you use the wooden
140

00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,558

sticks to collect
the fecal matter,
141
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:52,228
then rub it
on the green box.
142
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:53,363
Hand it to my dog.
143
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,134
Only one of those things I can do on my own.
144
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:58,336
And the last couple of days,
I haven't been doing that.
145
00:07:58,411 --> 00:08:01,437
Is it all right with you if
we carry you into the bathroom?
146
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:04,972
If you want me there, that's the
way you're going to have to do it.
147
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:13,519
Okay.
148
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,718
Ready?
Mmm-hmm.
149
00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:17,695
One, two, three.
150
00:08:17,763 --> 00:08:19,594
Can I get a little
head support, please?
151
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:20,996
Thank you.
152
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:40,746
Why are you here?
153
00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:43,686

My offices are being

used by my teams.
154
00:08:45,491 --> 00:08:46,617
Teams?
155
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:48,683
Which means this is the only
place where you can yell at me.
156
00:08:48,761 --> 00:08:49,955
You have "teams"?
157
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,087
Two of them.
158
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:52,858
I wanted to deal
with the yelling today
159
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,763
because I noticed
what you were wearing,
160
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:57,064
and I wouldn't have to
listen all that closely.
161
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,662
You can't make a competition
out of patient care.
162
00:08:59,739 --> 00:09:03,368
Without competition, we'd
still be single cell organisms.
163
00:09:03,442 --> 00:09:05,876
Can I go now?
Not until after the yelling.
164
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:06,934
What's wrong with him?
165
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,140
I have seven of
the finest minds on it.
166

00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,375

Along with
three very special...
167
00:09:10,449 --> 00:09:12,508
You wouldn't be doing this
unless you already knew.
168
00:09:12,585 --> 00:09:14,280
I tell you, you tell them.
Game's over.
169
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:16,218
If you know,
you are obligated to treat...
170
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:18,951
Well, then, in that case, I don't know.
171
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:23,962
Why would a guy
voluntarily shove
172
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:26,294
a metal object into
an electrical socket?
173
00:09:26,365 --> 00:09:29,892
I'm getting closer and
closer to knowing the answer.
174
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:31,994
What would happen
if I shut down this game?
175
00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:35,199
I'd fire them all, hire 40
new fellowship applicants
176
00:09:35,274 --> 00:09:37,742
and start the game all over again.
177
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:39,778
You do know what's
wrong with him, right?
178
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,212
It would be pretty irresponsible

if I didn't, wouldn't it?

179
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,220
Antibiotics aren't working.
180
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:51,722
Legionella could explain
the lungs, the fever.
181
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,157
If she had Legionella,
she'd have low sodium.
182
00:09:54,226 --> 00:09:55,989
What can you
tell me about her?
183
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:57,552
She likes body surfing.
184
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:00,155
Maybe picked up a virus
swimming off Jones Beach.
185
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,757
But she doesn't even have the energy
to finish her crossword anymore.
186
00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:03,927
Her boyfriend said...
187
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:05,231
That's it.
188
00:10:05,304 --> 00:10:06,703
What is?
Blurry vision.
189
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:08,672
How do you get blurry
vision from not being...
190
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:12,177
You don't stop a daily ritual that
cures boredom because you're bored.
191
00:10:12,244 --> 00:10:13,802

She stopped doing

her crossword puzzle
192
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,369
because she's having
a hard time reading it.
193
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:18,383
What causes fever, boggy
lungs, and blurry vision?
194
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,544
Fungal. Aspergillus would explain
195
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,850
the pneumonia,
which explains the fever.
196
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:24,612
Start her on amphotericin.
197
00:10:26,592 --> 00:10:28,787
Hey, guys. Great job.
198
00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:42,840
If you were going to try to take
yourself out, why choose electricity?
199
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:45,342
You eat a bullet,
jump off a building...
200
00:10:45,411 --> 00:10:47,436
I love the team thing,
by the way.
201
00:10:47,513 --> 00:10:50,004
Bury yourself alive
in Cuddy's cleavage.
202
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:53,574
Teamwork, collaboration,
all for the greater good...
203
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,814
It could have been
a suicidal gesture

204
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:58,150
as opposed to
an actual attempt.
205
00:10:58,257 --> 00:11:00,885
Interestingly,
the rain in Spain doesn't
206
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,986
actually fall in
the plain all that much.
207
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,789
But who puts
their internal organs
208
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:08,891
on a skillet just
to get attention?
209
00:11:08,968 --> 00:11:10,265
Go ask him.
210
00:11:12,271 --> 00:11:14,296
That would be cheating.
211
00:11:17,543 --> 00:11:19,101
Got a diagnosis yet?
212
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:20,236
Get out of here.
213
00:11:20,312 --> 00:11:21,438
Got a stool sample yet?
214
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:22,538
How could you know?
215
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:25,641
Oh, I talked to a nurse.
Pretty brilliant, huh?
216
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:29,051
I give you a move House will love
straight from one of his former fellows
217

00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:30,486

and you let me
join your team.
218
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:32,820
You're too late. We
already have our diagnosis.
219
00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:36,020
He's lying because
he wants you to go away.
220
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,119
So do I.
221
00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:38,629
How do we know you're not a double agent?
222
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,563
Find out what we're thinking
then go back to the women.
223
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,464
Because I don't care
what you're thinking.
224
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:44,435
You want to know why
I want to be on your team?
225
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:45,697
Because you're idiots.
226
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:48,365
If I can get the women out
of the competition, I'm in.
227
00:11:48,474 --> 00:11:50,374
And so are two of you.
228
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:04,517
So what's the big move?
229
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,056
It's called xenodiagnosis.
230
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,424

We let these bugs bite you, then

we test their feces for parasites.
231
00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:12,225
Why can't you
test my feces?
232
00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:14,822
Because you've been chugging milk
of magnesia for the past hour.
233
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,164
You've got a lot going
in and nothing coming out.
234
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:20,797
Testing the bugs' feces is actually
more accurate than testing yours.
235
00:12:20,873 --> 00:12:23,398
Smaller haystack,
easier to find the needle.
236
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,775
You okay?
Get the bugs off him.
237
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:34,750
Get the bugs off him!
238
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:35,912
The test isn't done.
239
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:37,114
He's choking!
240
00:12:46,832 --> 00:12:49,528
<i>Patchy infiltrates
on the X-ray, but patient</i>
241
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:51,627
<i>improved with
chest PT and oxygen,</i>
242
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:53,137
<i>consistent with aspiration.</i>
243

00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:55,332

So, now we have another symptom to explain.
244
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:58,968
Why does his throat think
his lungs are his stomach?
245
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:02,840
And why are your
throats closing up?
246
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:04,610
Shouldn't we be
in separate rooms?
247
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:07,550
You think I'm going to run two
differentials at this time in the morning?
248
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:08,678
Grumpy, you're first.
249
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:09,743
I'm not grumpy.
250
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:12,518
Well, why would I call
you that if you weren't?
251
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,422
It's an unusual combination.
252
00:13:14,493 --> 00:13:16,825
Unusual equals
exotic equals foreign.
253
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:18,557
It has to be connected
to his trip to Thailand.
254
00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:20,188
You practice
medicine overseas?
255
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:22,530
I was with Doctors Without
Borders for eight years.

256
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:24,762
Ta-da!
It's in my file.
257
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:27,168
David Blaine hides the six
of hearts in a beer bottle.
258
00:13:27,239 --> 00:13:28,706
It's still impressive.
259
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:30,639
You like exotic.
Why are you here?
260
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:31,767
I want this job.
261
00:13:31,844 --> 00:13:34,438
Parent sick?
No. I... I just...
262
00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:35,912
This is not
the job you want.
263
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:37,642
This is the job in
the zip code you want.
264
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:38,740
You engaged?
265
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:39,842
Yes.
266
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:40,943
Ta-da!
267
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,614
Am I not allowed to grow
up and change my priorities?
268
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,953
You're allowed to.
People usually don't.

269
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:47,457
This is not a new symptom.
270
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,494
Our patient has
spinal muscular atrophy.
271
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:51,462
He has documented
trouble swallowing.
272
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:52,792
The choking is not new.
273
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:55,163
So, if it's nothing new, what caused the old?
274
00:13:55,234 --> 00:13:56,929
Strongyloides worms
explain the fainting.
275
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:58,333
We already treated...
276
00:13:58,404 --> 00:14:02,170
So, he's all better, woman who... Thirteen.
277
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:03,367
He hasn't gotten any worse.
278
00:14:03,442 --> 00:14:04,807
That's a pretty
passive approach
279
00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:06,139
for the daughter
of an alcoholic.
280
00:14:06,212 --> 00:14:07,338
Wrong again.
281
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:10,109
We could stress his system,
put him on a tilt table.
282
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:11,171

If he stays conscious,
283
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:13,377
it means we made the
right diagnosis and we win.
284
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:15,010
Then, why haven't you?
285
00:14:17,756 --> 00:14:19,781
Six against four.
286
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:23,420
One of the men is going to
have to join the women's team.
287
00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:25,690
On the other hand,
one of the men isn't
288
00:14:25,764 --> 00:14:28,790
an actual doctor, so I
guess it's pretty fair.
289
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:32,636
Men,
you're in the penalty box.
290
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:33,763
Who's not the doctor?
291
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:35,636
Glad you asked about that.
292
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:38,643
The reason I'm penalizing
you is time management.
293
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:41,703
In diagnostics, you're always
working against the clock.
294
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:44,044
The women came up with a theory
and they treated the patient.
295
00:14:44,116 --> 00:14:45,549

You guys just

sat around in a lab,
296
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:48,280
hoping a series of blind
tests would give you a theory.
297
00:14:48,354 --> 00:14:50,822
You wasted
the patient's time.
298
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:52,983
Now, I'm going
to waste yours.
299
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:54,787
Her gums are
turning yellow.
300
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:57,226
Whatever it is,
it's in her liver now.
301
00:14:57,296 --> 00:14:59,127
Fungal fit perfectly.
302
00:14:59,198 --> 00:15:01,393
We were wrong.
303
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:03,628
And we're going to keep
being wrong until we're right.
304
00:15:03,702 --> 00:15:05,192
Or until she dies.
305
00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:06,863
Yeah. That was very helpful.
306
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:10,406
Need a team to
tell me we're mortals.
307
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:14,576
Look. I'm sorry.
You're right.
308

00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:19,416

Doesn't hurt to be reminded that
we're dealing with real stakes, here.
309
00:15:19,518 --> 00:15:22,919
Liver failure is a bad
thing, but it's also a clue.
310
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:24,717
What does it tell us?
311
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:36,894
I can't let you leave if I
think you're still suicidal.
312
00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:38,867
I wasn't
trying to off myself.
313
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:42,601
No, that's right, you were
just trying to kill the wall.
314
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:45,542
I check this box,
and your next roommates
315
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:48,671
are going to be Jesus and Crazy McLoonybin.
316
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,845
That guy never had a chance.
317
00:15:51,917 --> 00:15:53,544
It's going to sound stupid.
318
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,450
Suddenly, you're shy?
319
00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:57,452
You pooped your
pants in front of me.
320
00:15:57,556 --> 00:16:00,548
It's one of the nasty
side effects of dying.
321

00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:08,297

Last Saturday
I got in a car crash.
322
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:12,595
A drunk driver came over
the line and hit me, head on.
323
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:15,031
It was like slow motion.
324
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,642
I saw these headlights,
325
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:20,077
then,
326
00:16:21,146 --> 00:16:22,443
I saw...
327
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:30,878
Paramedics said I was
technically dead for 97 seconds.
328
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:38,591
It was the best 97
seconds of my life.
329
00:16:46,238 --> 00:16:47,466
Okay, here's what happened.
330
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:50,667
Your oxygen-deprived brain
was shutting down.
331
00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:54,502
A flood of endorphins
and serotonin was released.
332
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:56,172
That's what gave
you the visions.
333
00:16:56,281 --> 00:16:59,580
No. Believe me.
It wasn't chemicals.
334

00:17:00,586 --> 00:17:03,453

I've done every
hallucinogenic there is.
335
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:06,489
This was way
bigger than that.
336
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:11,825
There's something out there.
337
00:17:14,133 --> 00:17:15,725
Something more.
338
00:17:18,337 --> 00:17:20,237
Hey, can I have
my knife back?
339
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:21,329
Nope.
340
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:26,367
Who the hell
isn't a doctor?
341
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:27,776
House said we can't talk.
342
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,177
He meant we can't
talk about the case.
343
00:17:29,248 --> 00:17:30,943
House is just
jerking us around.
344
00:17:31,016 --> 00:17:32,415
That's what he does.
345
00:17:32,484 --> 00:17:33,883
You're not curious.
346
00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:35,749
Only one reason you
wouldn't be curious.
347
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:38,255

We should talk
about the case.
348
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:39,949
He's punishing us
for wasting time.
349
00:17:40,025 --> 00:17:41,549
Maybe we shouldn't
be wasting this time.
350
00:17:41,627 --> 00:17:42,685
Close that door.
351
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:43,785
You're going to
get us all fired.
352
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:47,423
We need to find a link between
fainting and trouble swallowing.
353
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:50,764
We need to know if it's
dysphagia or full-blown achalasia.
354
00:17:50,869 --> 00:17:52,097
Paraganglioma.
355
00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:54,900
How would a neo-plastic growth
in his abdomen explain...
356
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:56,338
Not his abdomen.
In his neck.
357
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:58,672
A carotid body tumor
causes trouble swallowing.
358
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:02,043
Food presses against the vagus
nerve and causes the fainting.
359
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:04,981
So, if this guy has cancer,
we get to keep our jobs.

360
00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:06,108
If he's healthy,
we're fired.
361
00:18:06,185 --> 00:18:07,413
We need a CT to prove it.
362
00:18:07,486 --> 00:18:09,818
And we need the women not to figure
it out while we're sitting here.
363
00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:13,289
And does House's computer
have a built-in microphone?
364
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:43,646
There is a potential toxicity
with an experimental treatment.
365
00:18:44,156 --> 00:18:45,885
I was never here.
366
00:18:50,262 --> 00:18:52,492
Blood pressure is remaining
stable through 60 degrees.
367
00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:55,158
No pauses on his EKG,
no nausea.
368
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:56,895
Our treatment worked.
369
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,266
I need our patient.
370
00:18:58,337 --> 00:19:00,396
Syncope's cured, Amber.
It's over.
371
00:19:01,673 --> 00:19:04,733
You obviously haven't stressed
his system hard enough.
372
00:19:05,878 --> 00:19:07,778
You crank it up high

enough, anyone will pass out.

373
00:19:07,846 --> 00:19:10,440
This is incredible!
374
00:19:10,516 --> 00:19:13,076
This is the most
I've moved in 20 years.
375
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:18,112
The tilt table test showed
that the patient's EKG,
376
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:19,714
BP and pulse remained normal, despite...
377
00:19:19,791 --> 00:19:21,554
Who are you, Thirteen?
378
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,458
My name's in the file.
379
00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:25,053
The fact that you won't answer my questions
380
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:26,859
tells me more about
you than answers could.
381
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:27,990
No, it doesn't.
382
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:29,090
We turned the thing
up to 95 degrees...
383
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:31,466
You don't think that
non-answers tell me anything?
384
00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:33,095
Sure. Just not as
much as actual answers.
385
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,400
That's why
they're called answers.

386
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:35,735
They tell me
you're hiding something.
387
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:37,035
Tells you
I'm hiding everything.
388
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:38,940
Tells me you've got
something worth hiding.
389
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:41,002
Was it Turkish prison?
Gay porn?
390
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,274
You killed a man just 'cause he
was asking too many questions?
391
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,906
Can I finish reporting on the patient?
392
00:19:44,983 --> 00:19:46,109
No need.
393
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,652
See you in an hour or so.
394
00:19:47,719 --> 00:19:49,482
Got to set some stuff up.
395
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:57,890
Thank you all for
coming to tribal council.
396
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:03,390
A man of your integrity, I
feel I can trust, Big Love.
397
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:06,835
And I don't call you that
'cause you're a Mormon.
398
00:20:06,905 --> 00:20:08,600
Where's your

team's sixth man?

399
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:10,437
She went rogue.
Broke the rules.
400
00:20:10,609 --> 00:20:13,339
You also sinned. You have no
right to cast the first stone.
401
00:20:13,412 --> 00:20:15,175
And atheists have no
right to quote scripture.
402
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:16,544
The rules said, "No talking. "
403
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:17,673
I told them not to talk.
404
00:20:17,749 --> 00:20:18,738
Out loud.
405
00:20:18,817 --> 00:20:20,409
We were trying to
save a man's life.
406
00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:22,112
Key word being "trying".
407
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:25,782
Tilt table test confirmed
that you guys were wrong.
408
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,085
You're fired.
409
00:20:29,861 --> 00:20:32,022
The prodigal son returneth.
410
00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:33,325
You're also fired.
411
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:35,889
We thought there was a tumor
on the patient's esophagus.

412
00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:38,436
We were right about the area,
wrong about the diagnosis.
413
00:20:38,537 --> 00:20:41,802
Turns out the esophagus is just
straightening. It's scleroderma.
414
00:20:41,873 --> 00:20:43,238
Explains the syncope and the choking.
415
00:20:43,308 --> 00:20:44,366
He needs steroids.
416
00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:46,138
You did a CT scan?
Obviously.
417
00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:47,974
After you were
already proven wrong?
418
00:20:48,046 --> 00:20:49,513
Good for you.
419
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:52,243
It's too bad you're wrong.
420
00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:54,547
Straightening indicates
weakening, not hardening.
421
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:57,111
SMA explains
the weakening.
422
00:20:57,222 --> 00:20:59,986
Strongyloides infection
explains everything else.
423
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:03,550
You ladies have the honor to
give the patient a feeding tube.
424
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:05,722
Discharge him.
Show up for work tomorrow.

425
00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:09,426
The rest of you...
You're a disappointment.
426
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:13,231
You make me want
to stop dangling.
427
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:24,008
It was the best
two weeks of my life.
428
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:28,018
I think I will miss you most
of all, Ridiculously Old Fraud.
429
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:38,952
Do you think
House could be wrong?
430
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:40,123
I thought he fired you.
431
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:41,756
No. He fired the men.
432
00:21:47,506 --> 00:21:48,768
I don't think he's wrong.
433
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,102
If he is,
how would I prove it?
434
00:21:50,175 --> 00:21:51,802
I just said
I don't think he is.
435
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:54,539
Well, thinking
isn't good enough.
436
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:57,513
You have to run a blood test
for anticentromere antibodies.
437
00:21:57,616 --> 00:21:59,049

Would you mind

running the labs?
438
00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:00,141
You can't.
439
00:22:00,218 --> 00:22:01,344
Well, I can, but...
440
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:03,320
No, I was making a statement.
441
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:04,446
You've been fired.
442
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,150
So, you no longer
have lab privileges.
443
00:22:06,224 --> 00:22:07,316
You weren't
coming here for advice.
444
00:22:07,392 --> 00:22:10,054
You were coming here to con
a favor to save your job.
445
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,460
Sorry. I'm not working for him anymore,
446
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:14,624
but he can still
make my life miserable.
447
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:19,364
And you have a chance
to make his life miserable.
448
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:24,173
I'm insulted.
449
00:22:24,242 --> 00:22:26,972
You conned Cameron by
appealing to her humanity...
450
00:22:27,045 --> 00:22:28,512
I told her what

she wanted to hear.

451
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,377
And you told me what you
thought I wanted to hear.
452
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:33,941
If it's any consolation, I think
your motives are more interesting.
453
00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:37,749
I cannot believe
he fired you.
454
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:40,319
Go draw his blood.
455
00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:42,257
I'll meet you in the lab when I'm done here.
456
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:51,669
Guess you didn't
find your tumor.
457
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:53,898
The other doctors tell
you that you were fine?
458
00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:57,736
Yeah, in the sense it's just
my disease getting worse.
459
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:03,742
You come to terms
with this disease.
460
00:23:05,016 --> 00:23:08,577
You know it's there.
You know it's waiting.
461
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:12,054
And every now and again
it takes something away.
462
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,059
Took my walking.
Took my modesty.

463
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:22,431
Now, it's taking one
of my last pleasures.
464
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,596
Well, there's
an outside shot
465
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:26,068
that something
other than the SMA
466
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:27,765
is causing your
eating problems.
467
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:31,297
And if it is, we can
fix it, remove that tube.
468
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:42,014
Is that my blood?
It's green.
469
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,155
What does that mean?
470
00:23:49,961 --> 00:23:51,758
It means I'm not fired.
471
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,127
Is he a Vulcan?
472
00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:59,733
If no, what makes
Nimoy bleed green?
473
00:23:59,805 --> 00:24:01,033
Are we officially
un-fired?
474
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:03,097
How do we know she didn't
fake the green blood?
475
00:24:03,208 --> 00:24:04,869
'Cause that would be stupid.

476
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:08,401
And while she may be manipulative,
borderline evil, shallow...
477
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,539
They get it.
I'm not stupid.
478
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:11,877
What contrast did
you use for the CT?
479
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,008
ICM.
480
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:14,244
His kidneys aren't working.
481
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:18,085
They didn't filter the contrast,
which, in ICM, is green.
482
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:20,383
Ten points.
483
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:22,859
Okay, let's add kidney failure
to our list of symptoms.
484
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:25,453
What are these points? Is that
how you're deciding who to fire?
485
00:24:25,564 --> 00:24:28,089
I'm going to fire the next person
who asks me who I'm going to fire.
486
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:29,224
Now we're on
the point system?
487
00:24:29,301 --> 00:24:30,325
What happened to
men against women?
488
00:24:30,435 --> 00:24:31,459

Forget the game.

489
00:24:31,536 --> 00:24:32,560
What do you mean,
forget the game?
490
00:24:32,637 --> 00:24:34,537
I mean,
forget the damn game!
491
00:24:34,606 --> 00:24:35,698
This guy's
kidneys are failing.
492
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:37,071
We need to
diagnose exactly...
493
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:38,404
I thought
we were diagnosing.
494
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:41,002
You were diagnosing.
Now, I am, too.
495
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:44,172
I thought that Thirteen was
right about the strongyloides.
496
00:24:44,249 --> 00:24:45,443
I was obviously wrong.
497
00:24:46,785 --> 00:24:49,481
Okay, kidney failure,
aspiration, fainting. Go.
498
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:52,250
Kidney failure could be the
result of a gram negative bacteria.
499
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:54,258
Our patient wears
a catheter full-time.
500
00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:56,191
It virtually guarantees
bacterial infection.

501
00:24:56,294 --> 00:24:58,592
Which could have
migrated up to his kidneys.
502
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:02,463
Infection stresses his already
weakened system, makes his SMA worse.
503
00:25:02,534 --> 00:25:04,434
That explains
the choking and fainting.
504
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,970
Put him on
an IV amp and gent.
505
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:08,096
Our team's scleroderma diagnosis still holds.
506
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:09,663
The test could have
been negative because
507
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:11,072
the blood was tainted with the contrast.
508
00:25:11,142 --> 00:25:12,575
Do a skin biopsy.
509
00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:14,612
Get a side of
lymph node to confirm.
510
00:25:21,553 --> 00:25:23,544
I could
have you fired.
511
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,383
You already had me fired.
512
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:26,617
Just proves that I can.
513
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:27,749
Were the men wrong?

514
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:28,884
No.
515
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,894
That doesn't change the fact...
Why are you yelling at me?
516
00:25:30,962 --> 00:25:32,327
Because performing
tests for someone
517
00:25:32,397 --> 00:25:33,762
who is not a doctor
in this hospital...
518
00:25:33,832 --> 00:25:36,096
You're frustrated.
You want help, I'm here.
519
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:38,863
If you just need to vent,
leave a message.
520
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:44,504
I like him better like this.
You?
521
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:48,544
Patient developed
pneumonia.
522
00:25:48,613 --> 00:25:49,773
His lungs
are filling fast.
523
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:51,281
We started him
on antibiotics.
524
00:25:51,349 --> 00:25:52,611
Nothing. We were wrong.
525
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:53,673
And you're here to say?
526
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:54,776
We were wrong, too.

527
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:56,320
He doesn't
have scleroderma.
528
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:57,980
Biopsy revealed
no fibrotic changes.
529
00:25:58,056 --> 00:25:59,956
Cervical lymph node
has black flecks.
530
00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:02,016
Just small areas of necrosis.
It's nothing.
531
00:26:02,093 --> 00:26:04,220
You say, "Nothing,"
I say, "Cancer. "
532
00:26:04,663 --> 00:26:06,494
It's a bit of a stretch
to jump right to cancer.
533
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:07,623
I'm not jumping.
534
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:09,496
Broad specs haven't worked,
so it's not bacterial.
535
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:12,162
Failing liver despite treatment
suggests it's not fungal.
536
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,102
And her high lactic
acidosis points towards
537
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:16,106
anaplastic
large cell lymphoma.
538
00:26:16,274 --> 00:26:19,903
Also suggests infection, which is
a lot easier and safer to treat.

539
00:26:19,978 --> 00:26:21,946
Large cell lymphoma
is incredibly aggressive.
540
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:24,015
She'll be dead in a week
if we follow the textbooks.
541
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:26,050
Unless it's infection, in
which case you irradiate her,
542
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:27,914
and she'll be
dead in a day.
543
00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:29,749
And I know you have some
experience with that.
544
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:33,924
I've seen
doctors do this before.
545
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:35,357
Go back to
the scene of the crime,
546
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,861
if you're right this time, you
purge yourself of past ghosts.
547
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,521
I know
it's contrary to protocol.
548
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,225
But I think
it's more likely...
549
00:26:41,299 --> 00:26:43,267
Ghosts are
there for a reason.
550
00:26:43,335 --> 00:26:45,599
So you don't make
the same mistake twice.

551
00:26:46,838 --> 00:26:50,274
Switch her over to
third-generation cephalosporin.
552
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:57,608
You want to remove
his eye?
553
00:26:57,682 --> 00:26:58,842
Who told you?
554
00:26:58,917 --> 00:27:00,475
You booked the OR.
555
00:27:00,552 --> 00:27:01,610
Good.
556
00:27:03,154 --> 00:27:04,985
You can't beat
me in a foot race.
557
00:27:05,056 --> 00:27:07,047
I thought we were dancing.
558
00:27:08,426 --> 00:27:11,088
Cervical lymph node
is a garbage dump.
559
00:27:11,162 --> 00:27:12,186
A very small one.
560
00:27:12,263 --> 00:27:14,493
Just one truck comes and
it only comes from one home.
561
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:16,328
Al Gore would be appalled.
The home...
562
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:18,426
The home is the right eye.
I get it.
563
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:20,394
Do a biopsy.
564

00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:21,803

On my way.
565
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:23,932
You're not
doing a biopsy.
566
00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:25,636
You ordered
an orbital exenteration.
567
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:27,803
Right. Because I don't want
to remove a little, tiny piece,
568
00:27:27,879 --> 00:27:29,608
sit in the lab and confirm
what I already know,
569
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:31,615
while my patient
drowns in his own fluid.
570
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:34,550
But if you want me to,
I absolutely will.
571
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,280
How advanced
is the pneumonia?
572
00:27:36,354 --> 00:27:38,413
It's taking
college courses.
573
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,082
Hey, Wilson!
574
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:41,887
I'm going to cut
some cripple's eye out!
575
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,894
Want to come watch?
576
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:46,657
Good times.

577
00:27:46,731 --> 00:27:47,891
We good to go?
578
00:27:58,476 --> 00:28:01,070
I thought melanoma
was skin cancer.
579
00:28:01,846 --> 00:28:04,610
Technically, it's cancer
of the pigment cells.
580
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:07,709
The same cells that
give your iris its color.
581
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:09,184
Cancer?
582
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:12,746
Why not? What else
can God throw at me?
583
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:16,520
Hail, locusts,
smiting of the first born...
584
00:28:16,594 --> 00:28:18,494
All depends on
how evil you've been.
585
00:28:18,563 --> 00:28:19,825
House.
586
00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:23,496
If it's cancer, it's
spread everywhere, right?
587
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:27,395
That's what's in my lungs?
My kidneys?
588
00:28:27,505 --> 00:28:30,997
There is a chance, by removing
the eye, to get the primary tumor,
589
00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:32,509
and three

courses of radiation,
590
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:33,935
that could...
591
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:37,446
Could what?
A few months? Years?
592
00:28:39,117 --> 00:28:41,278
More likely months.
593
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:45,186
Any of your other doctors
have any cheerier diagnoses?
594
00:28:45,256 --> 00:28:47,247
If they do, they're wrong.
This is the answer.
595
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:49,293
It's the only
way to help you.
596
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:52,261
I already can't walk.
I can't eat.
597
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:57,966
You're telling me
that the rest of my life
598
00:28:58,036 --> 00:29:01,369
is in this bed,
puking and pain?
599
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:03,866
We can manage the pain.
600
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:06,604
I'd rather just
get this over with.
601
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:13,316
I've been trapped in this
useless body long enough.
602

00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:18,445

It'd be nice
to finally get out.
603
00:29:20,492 --> 00:29:21,754
Get out and go where?
604
00:29:21,826 --> 00:29:23,259
I mean, you think you're
going to sprout wings
605
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:25,057
and start flying around
with the other angels?
606
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:26,324
Don't be an idiot.
607
00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:27,989
There is no "after".
There's just this.
608
00:29:28,066 --> 00:29:29,260
House!
609
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:43,546
You can't let a dying man
take solace in his beliefs?
610
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:44,741
His beliefs are stupid.
611
00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:46,078
Everybody lies.
612
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:47,778
Some for good reasons,
some for bad.
613
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:49,513
This would have been
a fantastic reason to lie.
614
00:29:49,587 --> 00:29:51,214
Hi. Greg House.
615
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:54,349

Why can't you just let

him have his fairy tale?
616
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:56,324
If it gives him
comfort to imagine beaches
617
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:58,793
and loved ones and life
outside a wheelchair...
618
00:29:58,863 --> 00:30:00,353
Are there 72 virgins, too?
619
00:30:00,431 --> 00:30:01,557
It's over.
620
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,863
He's got days,
maybe hours left.
621
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:06,869
What pain does it cause you if he
spends that time with a peaceful smile?
622
00:30:06,971 --> 00:30:08,598
What sick pleasure
do you get in making
623
00:30:08,673 --> 00:30:10,903
damn sure he's filled
with fear and dread?
624
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:13,876
He shouldn't be making
a decision based on a lie.
625
00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:15,105
Misery is
better than nothing.
626
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:17,171
You don't know there's
nothing. You haven't been there.
627
00:30:17,348 --> 00:30:19,646
Oh, God, I am tired of that argument.

628
00:30:19,717 --> 00:30:22,117
I don't have to go to Detroit
to know that it smells.
629
00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:25,816
Yes. Detroit,
the afterlife, same thing.
630
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,651
You're not
getting enough oxygen,
631
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,155
so we're inserting a tube
directly into your lungs.
632
00:32:06,257 --> 00:32:08,418
It should help us drain
some of this excess fluid.
633
00:32:08,493 --> 00:32:10,757
Should make you
a little more comfortable.
634
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:18,468
SATs are
still dropping.
635
00:32:18,536 --> 00:32:19,696
The fluid's clear.
636
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:22,705
If this was cancer,
there should be blood.
637
00:32:22,807 --> 00:32:24,274
Call House.
638
00:32:25,476 --> 00:32:27,171
He just paged me.
639
00:32:34,819 --> 00:32:36,184
Dr. House!
640
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:51,791
Maybe it was

641
00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:53,967
just an accident.
642
00:32:54,405 --> 00:32:56,032
It wasn't an accident.
643
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:58,870
Think his nihilism got the best of
him and he tried to kill himself?
644
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,569
He paged me.
He paged you?
645
00:33:00,678 --> 00:33:02,236
Why you?
I assume because...
646
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:04,338
Don't assume anything.
647
00:33:04,849 --> 00:33:06,874
Don't fall into that trap.
648
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:08,418
Is he okay?
649
00:33:09,854 --> 00:33:11,116
Burned his hand pretty good.
650
00:33:11,189 --> 00:33:13,248
His heart stopped
for nearly a minute.
651
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:16,191
But your cohort
managed to restart it.
652
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:19,593
But he has not
regained consciousness.
653
00:33:21,699 --> 00:33:24,668
So, since I have you all here,
654
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:27,170

we should probably talk

about your actual patient.
655
00:33:27,238 --> 00:33:30,139
Clear fluid from the lungs indicates
that it's probably not cancer.
656
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:33,871
So it would be nice if we
could come up with a new idea.
657
00:33:43,254 --> 00:33:45,882
You're an idiot.
You nearly killed yourself.
658
00:33:45,957 --> 00:33:46,981
That was the whole idea.
659
00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:48,047
You wanted to kill yourself?
660
00:33:48,126 --> 00:33:50,458
I wanted to
nearly kill myself.
661
00:33:50,561 --> 00:33:51,858
Is he better?
662
00:33:51,929 --> 00:33:52,953
No.
663
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,157
But he doesn't have cancer.
664
00:33:54,232 --> 00:33:56,063
We think it might be
eosinophilic pneumonia.
665
00:33:56,134 --> 00:33:59,069
Maybe you didn't want to die,
but you didn't care if you lived.
666
00:33:59,137 --> 00:34:02,265
You insisted that I needed to see for myself.
667
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:04,598
Was he discharged?

668
00:34:04,675 --> 00:34:06,040
No. He's dying.
669
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:09,377
You've already had
two near-death experiences.
670
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:12,974
Not that guy,
the guy in the car accident.
671
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:14,541
With the knife.
672
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:18,216
I need to talk to him.
673
00:34:18,289 --> 00:34:20,450
He died almost an hour ago.
674
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:23,754
Apparently, it's bad
to electrocute yourself
675
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:27,320
within days of suffering
massive internal injuries.
676
00:34:28,633 --> 00:34:31,261
Why did you need
to talk to him?
677
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,735
Did you see something?
678
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:35,967
Eosinophilic pneumonia.
679
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,372
House? What did you see?
680
00:34:38,443 --> 00:34:39,705
Nothing.
681
00:34:39,777 --> 00:34:41,142

Whose idea was that?

682
00:34:41,212 --> 00:34:42,372
Brennan.
683
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:45,348
"Nothing," you don't want to
talk about it, or, "Nothing... "
684
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:47,008
Which one's Brennan?
685
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:48,609
Is he the ridiculously
old guy?
686
00:34:48,686 --> 00:34:50,551
House, you've got
to talk about this.
687
00:34:50,621 --> 00:34:54,819
If it's aggressive enough it might
have gotten past the steroids.
688
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:57,052
Start him
on cyclophosphamide.
689
00:34:57,128 --> 00:34:58,652
I already did.
690
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:00,355
Just looking at you hurts.
691
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,659
I'm gonna order up
some extra pain meds.
692
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:06,202
I love you.
693
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:14,433
How fast will this work?
694
00:35:14,512 --> 00:35:17,106
New meds should start helping
in minutes, okay? Hang in there.

695
00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:20,048
Vacutainer's full.
I need to replace it.
696
00:35:20,151 --> 00:35:24,554
I don't think it's working.
697
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:26,179
Try and relax.
698
00:35:28,659 --> 00:35:30,149
You must be wrong.
699
00:35:30,228 --> 00:35:31,695
Stop talking.
700
00:35:32,964 --> 00:35:35,455
Hurry up and get
the chest tube working.
701
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:37,125
Okay. I got it.
702
00:35:37,201 --> 00:35:40,602
Can you get Hoover?
703
00:36:01,225 --> 00:36:03,022
I can't...
704
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:05,824
Can you put my
705
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:07,990
hand
706
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:10,865
on his head?
707
00:36:15,773 --> 00:36:18,537
It's okay. Don't worry.
708
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:22,709
I'm not scared.
709

00:36:37,895 --> 00:36:39,192

Oh, God.
710
00:36:51,776 --> 00:36:53,471
Time of death...
711
00:37:03,921 --> 00:37:05,889
You're looking better.
712
00:37:07,458 --> 00:37:08,948
Stark's dead.
713
00:37:14,832 --> 00:37:16,356
What are you doing?
714
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,058
Going to see our patient.
715
00:37:18,669 --> 00:37:19,795
He's dead.
716
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:21,929
"Dead" is not a diagnosis.
717
00:37:22,006 --> 00:37:23,303
You really shouldn't be...
718
00:37:23,407 --> 00:37:25,238
Shut up and give me my cane.
719
00:37:27,678 --> 00:37:29,236
I assume we're all fired.
720
00:37:29,313 --> 00:37:31,042
Should I fire myself, too?
721
00:37:32,016 --> 00:37:34,814
I thought it was strongyloides,
then I thought it was cancer.
722
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,352
A little help, here?
723
00:37:36,487 --> 00:37:37,920
Ready? One, two...

724
00:37:43,861 --> 00:37:46,261
Why did you call me?
725
00:37:46,330 --> 00:37:48,093
Because if I pooped
myself in front of Wilson,
726
00:37:48,165 --> 00:37:49,189
I'd never hear the end of it.
727
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:50,995
But why not one
of the others?
728
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:52,364
You always have that
phone in your hand.
729
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:55,132
We all have cell phones,
that's not the reason. What is?
730
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:57,538
If I died,
you'd never get the job.
731
00:37:57,608 --> 00:37:59,371
I knew you wouldn't let that happen.
732
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:01,911
You don't think anybody
else has any reason to care?
733
00:38:01,979 --> 00:38:03,503
I think this is starting to come back to me.
734
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,912
It's right,
left, then repeat.
735
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:08,680
Yeah. That works.
736
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:13,314
What did we miss?
737

00:38:13,391 --> 00:38:14,881

If we knew,
he wouldn't be dead.
738
00:38:15,493 --> 00:38:17,154
So, that's it?
You're just gonna give up?
739
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:19,695
No. We were defeated.
It's over.
740
00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:23,262
Patient presented
with syncope.
741
00:38:23,334 --> 00:38:25,802
We thought it was thread
worms, gave him ivermectin.
742
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:27,861
Thank you.
743
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:31,999
The patient seemed better
until his blood turned green.
744
00:38:32,109 --> 00:38:33,633
Can we at least
remove the body before
745
00:38:33,711 --> 00:38:36,043
launching into a purely academic exercise?
746
00:38:36,113 --> 00:38:39,276
The patient didn't respond
to antibiotics or steroids.
747
00:38:39,350 --> 00:38:40,442
You okay, boy?
748
00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:42,679
What's wrong with the dog?
749
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:52,523
He's dead.
750

00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:54,564

There are only
a handful of viruses
751
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:56,657
that can cross
between dogs and humans.
752
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:58,725
But they may not
be connected at all.
753
00:38:58,836 --> 00:39:00,633
The dog was old.
I've seen it before.
754
00:39:00,705 --> 00:39:02,798
They hang on way past
their normal life expectancy
755
00:39:02,873 --> 00:39:04,306
to take care
of their masters.
756
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:06,741
Did you watch
him take the pills?
757
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:10,871
The ivermectin.
Did you watch the patient
758
00:39:10,948 --> 00:39:12,745
put them in his mouth and swallow them?
759
00:39:12,817 --> 00:39:14,682
I don't know. I think so.
760
00:39:14,752 --> 00:39:15,776
What kind of dog is that?
761
00:39:15,853 --> 00:39:16,842
English Shepherd.
762
00:39:16,921 --> 00:39:18,047
That's in the collie family,
right?

763
00:39:18,122 --> 00:39:19,180
Not really.
764
00:39:19,256 --> 00:39:20,450
But they share
the MDR-1 gene?
765
00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:21,684
Yeah.
766
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:25,752
What happens when you give a dog
with the MDR-1 gene ivermectin?
767
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:26,887
They don't.
768
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:29,158
I mean, it's used to treat
heartworms in most dogs,
769
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:31,701
but it would be
fatal if they...
770
00:39:39,443 --> 00:39:41,001
Look familiar?
771
00:39:41,846 --> 00:39:43,279
I think the last
time you saw it,
772
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:45,747
it didn't have that dead
dog's teeth marks on it.
773
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:48,011
I just put it on the bed
tray to get him some water.
774
00:39:48,085 --> 00:39:51,111
When I asked you if you watched
the patient swallow the pills,
775
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:53,383
the right answer was, "No. "

776
00:39:55,893 --> 00:39:58,418
Take his body
down to the morgue.
777
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:14,802
If you hadn't treated this patient
as a game, he wouldn't be dead.
778
00:40:14,912 --> 00:40:16,641
Feeling much better,
thank you.
779
00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:19,307
I'm supposed to
show you sympathy?
780
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:23,613
He died while his attending
was lying on a hospital bed
781
00:40:23,721 --> 00:40:26,315
because he stuck
a knife in a wall socket.
782
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:29,325
He died because
a doctor made a mistake.
783
00:40:29,827 --> 00:40:30,816
She was an idiot.
784
00:40:30,895 --> 00:40:32,157
You employed her.
785
00:40:33,164 --> 00:40:34,961
You're responsible.
786
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:49,245
Dr. Foreman.
787
00:40:51,949 --> 00:40:53,712
How's she doing?
788
00:40:54,385 --> 00:40:58,048
Fever's gone. AST and ALT
are back within normal range.

789
00:40:58,556 --> 00:41:01,184
She should be out
of here in a few days.
790
00:41:01,258 --> 00:41:02,418
Gutsy call.
791
00:41:02,493 --> 00:41:03,482
Thanks.
792
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:04,993
It wasn't a compliment.
793
00:41:05,896 --> 00:41:07,557
If you were wrong,
she'd be dead.
794
00:41:07,631 --> 00:41:08,655
I was sure...
795
00:41:08,732 --> 00:41:10,427
No, you weren't.
You couldn't be.
796
00:41:10,501 --> 00:41:11,763
There's a reason
we have rules.
797
00:41:11,836 --> 00:41:14,304
If every doctor did whatever
his gut told him was right,
798
00:41:14,405 --> 00:41:17,568
we'd have a lot more
dead bodies to deal with.
799
00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:19,199
It won't happen again.
800
00:41:19,276 --> 00:41:20,675
Yes, it will.
801
00:41:20,778 --> 00:41:23,941
Because you confuse saving her
life with doing the right thing.
802

00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:28,645

I'm sorry, Dr. Foreman,
you're fired.
803
00:41:48,939 --> 00:41:50,964
As soon as the pathologist
cut into the lungs,
804
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:53,134
we saw the threadworms.
805
00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:58,004
Do you think it's
fair that I fired
806
00:41:58,082 --> 00:41:59,481
all the other
members of your team
807
00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:02,519
when you guys actually came
up with the right diagnosis?
808
00:42:04,321 --> 00:42:07,154
I keep replaying it
in my mind.
809
00:42:07,224 --> 00:42:10,057
Did I drop the pills when
I put them on the bed tray?
810
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,323
Did I knock them over
when I turned to leave?
811
00:42:15,666 --> 00:42:17,691
You know, he'd be alive.
812
00:42:19,503 --> 00:42:20,731
His dog would be alive.
813
00:42:20,804 --> 00:42:21,998
I know.
814
00:42:23,541 --> 00:42:25,406
You forced us to act
on a false assumption.

815
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:26,500
I know.
816
00:42:26,577 --> 00:42:30,035
Everything we built
from that step on,
817
00:42:30,114 --> 00:42:32,082
every test, every theory, every treatment...
818
00:42:32,149 --> 00:42:35,346
I know. Forget the lecture
and fire me already.
819
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:41,491
If I was gonna fire you, I
wouldn't be giving you the lecture.
820
00:42:44,695 --> 00:42:48,859
I know you're not gonna let
anything like this ever happen again.
821
00:42:53,003 --> 00:42:54,937
I'll see you tomorrow.
822
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,945
I'm sorry to say,
823
00:43:09,553 --> 00:43:11,077
I told you so.
