1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,358
Collins working on King here, top of the key-

2
00:00:04,358 --> 00:00:07,338
Dribbling around him, coming around the corner there, he's up!

3
00:00:07,338 --> 00:00:09,841
Two points! Beautiful play.

4
00:00:09,841 --> 00:00:11,877
Now, that's a great play.

5
00:00:11,877 --> 00:00:16,415
If you testify, no one can protect you, especially the feds.

6
00:00:16,415 --> 00:00:18,883
- We'll keep you safe, Joey.
- Right. In Witness Protection.

7
00:00:18,883 --> 00:00:20,715
This great new life he's giving you?

8
00:00:20,715 --> 00:00:23,654
You're sackin' groceries at some goat-town Stop and Shop,

9
00:00:23,654 --> 00:00:26,954
when one of Vitale's guys comes and puts two in the back of your skull.

10
00:00:26,954 --> 00:00:30,758
Counselor, are you advising a witness to withhold evidence from a Federal Grand Jury?

11
00:00:30,758 --> 00:00:32,764
He came forward. He volunteered.

12
00:00:32,764 --> 00:00:36,598
I'm advising him not to testify until I'm satisfied you can protect him.

13
00:00:36,598 --> 00:00:39,331
Hey, you guys mind? I got money on this.

14
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:41,806
What do you want? We gave you everything you asked for.

15
00:00:41,806 --> 00:00:45,208
- I asked for pasta.
- You got steak. Enjoy it.

16
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:49,715
- What are you doin'?
- What?

17
00:00:51,651 --> 00:00:53,586
Where's your quit candy? I just gave you a pack.

18
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:57,487
Yeah, sorry. I forgot.

19
00:00:57,487 --> 00:01:02,494
Joey, whatever they give us, what they tell you, you get popped, what am I gonna do, sue them?

20
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:05,564
That's not what this is about.

21
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:08,759
You're gonna miss me.

22
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:11,167
- I'm your lawyer, Joey.
- You're my brother.

23
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:15,806
And I do this-you know, I go into Witness Protection-

24
00:01:15,806 --> 00:01:18,002
We're never gonna see each other again.

25
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:21,912
- That doesn't bother you?
- It kills me.

26
00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:28,252
There he goes. Nice pick.

27
00:01:31,691 --> 00:01:34,285
I gotta take a leak.

28
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:39,031
You all right?

29
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:46,435
Yeah, yeah. Just, uh, a little dizzy.

30
00:01:46,435 --> 00:01:49,168
- Get some air. 
- Hot.

31
00:01:51,544 --> 00:01:54,240
- Joey.
- What'd you say to him?

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,147
- Yeah, nice try. 
- Come on! Let go of me!

33
00:01:57,147 --> 00:01:59,583
- Let go of me! Can't you see he's sick?
- Joey!

34
00:01:59,583 --> 00:02:02,212
Let me go! Something's wrong with him!

35
00:02:02,212 --> 00:02:04,153
You're not getting out of this that easy. Joey.

36
00:02:04,153 --> 00:02:06,658
Either you're dead or you're testifying.

37
00:02:40,727 --> 00:02:42,661
Don't have it.

38
00:02:42,661 --> 00:02:45,323
- Budget?
- Nope.

39
00:02:45,323 --> 00:02:47,832
Revenue statement. List of expenses.

40
00:02:47,832 --> 00:02:49,835
House has been very busy.

41
00:02:49,835 --> 00:02:52,428
Saving New Jersey from leprosy. Yes, I know.

42
00:02:52,428 --> 00:02:55,565
Getting me his numbers, that's your job.

43
00:02:55,565 --> 00:02:58,805
- We're in a meeting.
- I need the lawyer.

44
00:02:58,805 --> 00:03:02,143
- Who'd you kill?
- Nobody. But it's not even lunch.

45
00:03:02,143 --> 00:03:05,184
I got served with a federal court order. Some witness went into a coma.

46
00:03:05,184 --> 00:03:07,185
They want me to take a look at him.

47
00:03:07,185 --> 00:03:09,016
What?

48
00:03:09,016 --> 00:03:12,819
They want you to examine a sick person?

49
00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:15,019
This is a public relations nightmare.

50
00:03:15,019 --> 00:03:19,831
Folk think our staff do that kind of thing around here, this place will be crawling with sick people.

51
00:03:19,831 --> 00:03:23,198
I'm a doctor. I'm not a lapdog for the feds. I don't play fetch.

52
00:03:23,198 --> 00:03:27,433
Nobody tells you what to do. Am I right, Dr. Cuddy?

53
00:03:27,433 --> 00:03:31,773
You have three choices. Hire a lawyer to fight the order, treat the guy or go to jail for contempt.

54
00:03:31,773 --> 00:03:34,176
Up to you.

55
00:03:34,176 --> 00:03:38,650
Jail. You'd like that. No more naughty schoolgirl.

56
00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:41,209
Conjugal visit- that's her new fantasy.

57
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:50,288
We're not leaving until he's gone, or you show me...

58
00:03:50,288 --> 00:03:53,628
One good reason for keeping him.

59
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:19,658
He's really out of it, huh?

60
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,927
- Causes of coma- metabolic, structural... 
- He had his stomach pumped.

61
00:04:24,927 --> 00:04:27,489
Why would they do that? Rule out poisoning.

62
00:04:27,489 --> 00:04:29,501
Not the typical first guess.

63
00:04:29,501 --> 00:04:34,302
Nope, first guess was faking it. The patient's a federal witness-reluctant, I'm assuming.

64
00:04:34,302 --> 00:04:36,433
He's also an eight on the Glasgow Coma Scale.

65
00:04:36,433 --> 00:04:38,875
He's barely alive. Pretty tough to fake.

66
00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:41,846
Any recent history of head trauma? Bad car accident? Fall?

67
00:04:41,846 --> 00:04:44,246
They tell me no, but do an MRI to be sure.

68
00:04:44,246 --> 00:04:46,285
Metabolic causes. Liver, kidney, diabetes-

69
00:04:46,285 --> 00:04:48,445
Check for everything. Feds are paying.

70
00:04:48,445 --> 00:04:50,682
We're gonna turn a profit on this one, boys.

71
00:04:50,682 --> 00:04:53,851
Dr. House, Bill Arnello. I'm a lawyer.

72
00:04:53,851 --> 00:04:57,362
I represent Mr. Smith. What's wrong with him?

73
00:04:57,362 --> 00:04:59,625
Do I come to you with my problems?

74
00:04:59,625 --> 00:05:02,259
He's also my brother.

75
00:05:02,259 --> 00:05:04,530
What? You changed your name?

76
00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:07,038
Smith wasn't good enough for you?

77
00:05:07,038 --> 00:05:09,904
- His name's Joey. He's my only brother.
- He's important to you.

78
00:05:09,904 --> 00:05:14,470
Got it. So, no placebos for him. We'll use the real medicine.

79
00:05:14,470 --> 00:05:16,572
This was fun. Let's do it again soon.

80
00:05:21,621 --> 00:05:24,488
Brother in the Mafia?

81
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,226
So, just Joey?

82
00:05:29,226 --> 00:05:31,320
I was hoping for a nickname.

83
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,730
Joey Mango. Joey the Wrench.

84
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:43,437
- People know where I am. 
- I want you to do your job.

85
00:05:43,437 --> 00:05:46,171
Diagnose him, fix him and keep him here.

86
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:52,480
We're a bit of a specialized hospital. We generally only deal with patients while they're actually sick.

87
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,345
If you release my brother to the government,
and he does what they want, even if you fix him, he's dead.

88
00:05:58,345 --> 00:06:00,358
I need time to convince him of that.

89
00:06:09,502 --> 00:06:14,437
Good news is, if you screw up, you don't have to worry about a malpractice suit.

90
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:19,111
Instead, one by one,

91
00:06:19,111 --> 00:06:22,011
I'll take away the things you love till there's nothing left.

92
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:32,514
So, on the Mafia thing... that's a yes.

93
00:06:41,534 --> 00:06:44,002
Did House seem weird to you?

94
00:06:44,002 --> 00:06:46,004
Were you expecting him to be weird?

95
00:06:47,006 --> 00:06:49,474
We spoke...

96
00:06:49,474 --> 00:06:51,976
About how we felt.

97
00:06:51,976 --> 00:06:54,740
- You told him you liked him?
- No, of course not.

98
00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:58,375
- Wh-what are you talking about then?
- I asked him if he liked me.

99
00:06:58,375 --> 00:07:01,511
- Why would you do that?
- Because...

100
00:07:02,989 --> 00:07:06,083
I like him.

101
00:07:06,083 --> 00:07:08,389
You like him like him?

102
00:07:08,389 --> 00:07:10,656
Doesn't matter. He doesn't like me.

103
00:07:10,656 --> 00:07:14,166
Hey, he doesn't like anybody.

104
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,736
And nobody likes him.

105
00:07:19,238 --> 00:07:22,036
MRI showed a subdural hematoma.

106
00:07:22,036 --> 00:07:26,204
Bleeding around his brain caused pressure inside his head, which caused the coma.

107
00:07:26,204 --> 00:07:28,372
These look like pseudo-membranes.

108
00:07:28,372 --> 00:07:30,382
Those take time to form.

109
00:07:30,382 --> 00:07:32,680
If it's an old injury, it wouldn't cause the coma.

110
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,848
Patient history indicates he was hit with a tire iron in 1996.

111
00:07:36,848 --> 00:07:39,289
Brother says he was changing a tire and it slipped.

112
00:07:39,289 --> 00:07:42,691
An old hematoma placed where this one is could have caused his coma.

113
00:07:42,691 --> 00:07:45,560
- What about his liver?
- LFTs are slightly elevated.

114
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,532
Key word is "slightly," as in not high enough to cause the coma.

115
00:07:48,532 --> 00:07:51,764
- It's the subdural. 
- I say we evacuate the cavity, see if he wakes up.

116
00:07:51,764 --> 00:07:56,275
The neurologist thinks it's his brain and wants to open up his head? Frankly, I'm shocked.

117
00:07:56,275 --> 00:08:00,244
And you get to use the "big boy" drill in Daddy's big red toolbox.

118
00:08:00,244 --> 00:08:03,043
No drilling.

119
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:09,079
- Hi.
- Mr. Smith.

120
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,919
Call me Joe. Can you not do that?

121
00:08:15,461 --> 00:08:19,158
So, we're clear about the no drilling?

122
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:23,301
He's okay now. He can leave.

123
00:08:23,301 --> 00:08:26,338
- I'm not releasing him.
- 'Cause the brother doesn't want you to?

124
00:08:26,338 --> 00:08:29,863
Or because he had an unexplained coma. Which sounds better?

125
00:08:29,863 --> 00:08:33,469
- The hematoma caused the coma.
- That's a catchy diagnosis. You could dance to that.

126
00:08:33,469 --> 00:08:35,810
I think Chase is right.

127
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:43,884
It still should be evacuated, but it's not an immediate threat.

128
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:49,661
Cameron's my girl.

129
00:08:49,661 --> 00:08:51,822
I'd release him.

130
00:08:53,165 --> 00:08:56,931
- Are you disagreeing with me because...
- I'm disagreeing because that's my medical opinion.

131
00:08:56,931 --> 00:08:59,494
Of course it is.

132
00:08:59,494 --> 00:09:03,133
But unless I've been named as the fourth part of the "axis of evil,"

133
00:09:03,133 --> 00:09:05,939
invaded and occupied, this is still not a democracy.

134
00:09:05,939 --> 00:09:10,210
He's staying. Send for hepatitis serologies and an autoimmune panel.

135
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,495
Hey, I'm with you.

136
00:09:23,495 --> 00:09:27,556
Old enough to drink, old enough to do something really stupid and make yourself a baby.

137
00:09:27,556 --> 00:09:31,330
He's my brother. I'm watching him while our parents are in Barbados.

138
00:09:31,330 --> 00:09:34,202
He's having trouble breathing, and there's a lot of wheezing.

139
00:09:34,202 --> 00:09:38,300
Whistling, technically. Upper airways. Nose.

140
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:41,904
- If he's got the croup, that- that could become meningitis, right?
- Absolutely.

141
00:09:41,904 --> 00:09:45,712
I was just studying, and all of a sudden I hear him crying and sounding all weird.

142
00:09:45,712 --> 00:09:49,221
M-my parents are gonna kill me.

143
00:09:49,221 --> 00:09:51,916
- I doubt it. 
- You don't know them.

144
00:09:51,916 --> 00:09:55,722
No, I doubt you were studying while your parents were away.

145
00:09:58,831 --> 00:10:02,232
Hello, Officer.

146
00:10:02,232 --> 00:10:05,270
You might wanna rinse this off before you let him play with it again.

147
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,281
What happened? Where is he?

148
00:10:27,281 --> 00:10:32,423
Vogler called Admitting. Admitting called Justice. Justice came and took him away.

149
00:10:32,423 --> 00:10:34,796
And who called Vogler?

150
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:44,367
He loses money.

151
00:10:44,367 --> 00:10:48,072
So does Ophthalmology. Who cares? This is a hospital.

152
00:10:48,072 --> 00:10:51,708
- You can't just cut a department.
- You can't control him.

153
00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:54,878
I am the only one that can control him.

154
00:10:54,878 --> 00:10:57,388
D-D-Dr. House in the house...

155
00:10:57,388 --> 00:10:59,390
Impeccable timing as always.

156
00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:01,619
You had no authority to release my patient.

157
00:11:01,619 --> 00:11:05,960
My colleague has just informed me she has a singular talent.

158
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,865
You are just in time for a demonstration.

159
00:11:09,869 --> 00:11:12,963
Dr. House, from what I understand, your patient...

160
00:11:12,963 --> 00:11:16,304
From what you understand- he's not your patient.

161
00:11:16,304 --> 00:11:18,900
- How the hell do you understand anything?
- It's sad.

162
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:24,644
- You're not even a doctor.
- John Smith is here only because of a court order.

163
00:11:24,644 --> 00:11:27,447
I had the records faxed to the judge. She rescinded the order.

164
00:11:27,447 --> 00:11:31,923
- Why bother? Just to piss me off?
- Keeping the government off our ass.

165
00:11:31,923 --> 00:11:34,016
Yeah.

166
00:11:34,016 --> 00:11:37,995
- That makes no sense for a public institution.
- Okay.

167
00:11:37,995 --> 00:11:42,091
- Okay, what?
- Okay, sir.

168
00:11:42,091 --> 00:11:44,102
Carry on.

169
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:49,140
He really cares about his patients.

170
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:53,042
Yeah, and he just walked out of here with nothin'. Something's up.

171
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:56,274
Just started vomiting and passed out.

172
00:11:56,274 --> 00:11:59,010
More lidocaine. 590, with epi.

173
00:11:59,010 --> 00:12:04,022
Thirty-five-year-old male. Vital signs are stable now. Gave him two liters en route.

174
00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:09,316
He was just released from here two hours ago.

175
00:12:09,316 --> 00:12:11,556
You said he was good to go.

176
00:12:11,556 --> 00:12:15,031
- Watch that line.
- He's still not responding.

177
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:20,638
So, the junior G-man badge isn't looking so good.

178
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:32,610
- His liver's worse.
- Comatose?

179
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:35,153
No. Completely different symptoms than the first time.

180
00:12:35,153 --> 00:12:39,021
His serology tests came back positive for hepatitis "C."

181
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:42,788
Hep "C" is a chronic condition. You don't think this is an acute situation?

182
00:12:42,788 --> 00:12:45,490
Coma, vomiting, abdominal pain. Hep "C" explains everything.

183
00:12:45,490 --> 00:12:48,761
- Except for the suddenness of the onset.
- What's wrong with the timing?

184
00:12:48,761 --> 00:12:52,793
You get home one night, your wife hits you with a baseball bat.

185
00:12:52,793 --> 00:12:56,808
Likely causes: the fact that you haven't thanked her for dinner in eight years...

186
00:12:56,808 --> 00:13:00,869
Or the receipt for fur handcuffs that she found in your pants?

187
00:13:00,869 --> 00:13:03,346
Sudden onset equals approximate cause.

188
00:13:03,346 --> 00:13:07,784
He also has high estrogen levels in his blood. That's indicative of a chronic condition, not acute.

189
00:13:07,784 --> 00:13:11,016
One test. What do his other liver tests tell us?

190
00:13:11,016 --> 00:13:14,184
Normal albumen levels point toward acute.

191
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:17,696
Oh, okay, and, uh, why is her test better than mine?

192
00:13:18,764 --> 00:13:22,564
Because she's cuter, though it's close.

193
00:13:22,564 --> 00:13:26,002
Do a liver biopsy. When the results come back, we'll know what we're looking at.

194
00:13:26,002 --> 00:13:30,474
Why wait to treat the hep "C"? If I'm right, Joey gets better that much faster.

195
00:13:30,474 --> 00:13:34,309
Right. Then he gets to testify. And you get a gold star from Cuddy.

196
00:13:34,309 --> 00:13:38,373
And what's the downside? Or is that the downside?

197
00:13:38,373 --> 00:13:41,647
Do I have a reason for not wanting you to get any stars?

198
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,852
Fine. Start the treatment.

199
00:13:45,852 --> 00:13:48,917
It's all your idea. Don't even mention my name.

200
00:13:48,917 --> 00:13:51,827
There's nothing wrong with your theory. Go.

201
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,201
But in the "humor me" department, get a biopsy while you're at it.

202
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:04,171
Foreman, we need to talk.

203
00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:12,575
- You're off the case.
- What?

204
00:14:12,575 --> 00:14:15,950
- Why?
- Somebody told Vogler that I lied to the transplant committee.

205
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:18,717
- You think I did?
- You're too careful.

206
00:14:18,717 --> 00:14:22,727
- You wouldn't jump ship unless you knew what was in the water.
- Stop. You're embarrassing me.

207
00:14:22,727 --> 00:14:24,888
But I want Vogler to think I think it's you.

208
00:14:24,888 --> 00:14:28,525
And I want Cameron and Chase, Cuddy and Wilson, the nursing staff...

209
00:14:28,525 --> 00:14:30,865
And the cashier in the parking lot to think that too.

210
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:35,034
Right.

211
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:40,042
The blood tests show you have hepatitis "C."

212
00:14:40,042 --> 00:14:42,580
It's a virus that infects the liver.

213
00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:44,980
- No way.
- It's not all bad news.

214
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:48,577
It can often be cured. And even if not, it's manageable.

215
00:14:48,577 --> 00:14:52,420
- How'd my brother get this?
- It usually involves the exchange of bodily fluids. Either...

216
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:54,982
Bodily fluids? What are you talkin' about?

217
00:14:54,982 --> 00:14:58,120
There are many ways the virus can be transmitted, sharing needles, blood transfusions-

218
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,065
Hey! Nobody talks to my brother like this, okay?

219
00:15:02,065 --> 00:15:04,261
Fine. No idea how he got it.

220
00:15:04,261 --> 00:15:06,634
But he has hepatitis "C." We're gonna start him on-

221
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:13,305
He doesn't have it. Don't mention it again. Don't treat him for it.

222
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:22,687
House has some directed donations, foundation support-

223
00:15:22,687 --> 00:15:24,689
It's around here.

224
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:29,391
He makes you miserable.

225
00:15:29,391 --> 00:15:32,328
Eight years he's worked here... never made a dime for you.

226
00:15:32,328 --> 00:15:34,332
- Never listened to you. 
- He can change. He's-

227
00:15:34,332 --> 00:15:36,960
He hasn't changed in eight years.

228
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,334
Either he can't change, or you can't change him.

229
00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:45,766
You have no idea how many times he's lied to you, undercut your authority,

230
00:15:45,766 --> 00:15:47,971
made you look like crap to other doctors.

231
00:15:47,971 --> 00:15:52,780
Yes, I hate him, and here I am desperately trying to protect his job.

232
00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:55,376
- What does that tell you?
- That you don't hate him.

233
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:58,917
I do not protect people I like.

234
00:15:58,917 --> 00:16:01,221
I protect people who are assets to this hospital.

235
00:16:01,221 --> 00:16:04,194
No. That's me.

236
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:06,531
You-

237
00:16:07,733 --> 00:16:10,293
- You're softer.
- Right.

238
00:16:10,293 --> 00:16:13,099
There are three female chiefs of medicine...

239
00:16:13,099 --> 00:16:17,472
At major hospitals in this country, and we all got there using our feminine wiles.

240
00:16:17,472 --> 00:16:21,172
- It's human nature to want to protect people we like.
- I don't like him.

241
00:16:21,172 --> 00:16:24,579
To think if we just form the right team, we'll all get along and be able to pull the boat-

242
00:16:24,579 --> 00:16:27,642
- I don't get along with him!
- This is not a team.

243
00:16:27,642 --> 00:16:31,986
It's not a boat. It's not a machine that has a lot of parts that have to work together.

244
00:16:31,986 --> 00:16:36,517
The metaphors are all crap. This is a business. That's all it is.

245
00:16:37,596 --> 00:16:40,759
You like him. That's bad for business.

246
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:52,367
Oh, this is all my fault.

247
00:16:52,367 --> 00:16:55,277
Took another homework break with Betty Lou?

248
00:16:55,277 --> 00:16:57,338
No, last week I showed him a magic trick.

249
00:16:57,338 --> 00:17:01,284
You pulled a quarter out of his nose. It's a classic.

250
00:17:01,284 --> 00:17:04,254
Yeah, and now he won't stop shovin' stuff up there.

251
00:17:04,254 --> 00:17:07,520
- Dr. House.
- Got a crisis here.

252
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:10,628
It's okay.

253
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:16,617
Stop!

254
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:35,152
That's a neat trick.

255
00:17:35,152 --> 00:17:37,154
They have to believe you'll actually hurt them.

256
00:17:37,154 --> 00:17:38,904
Ah.

257
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:47,064
Your people insulted my brother.

258
00:17:47,064 --> 00:17:50,568
What, they put Romano in the Parmesan cheese shaker again?

259
00:17:50,568 --> 00:17:53,264
Said he was a crackhead or a homo or somethin'.

260
00:17:53,264 --> 00:17:55,272
Those idiots.

261
00:17:55,272 --> 00:17:58,798
How many times am I gonna have to send them for sensitivity training?

262
00:17:58,798 --> 00:18:01,812
Nobody's saying he's a homo. That would be really, really bad.

263
00:18:01,812 --> 00:18:04,371
So let's put a nice, friendly spin on it.

264
00:18:04,371 --> 00:18:07,613
Let's go with, "He got raped in prison."

265
00:18:07,613 --> 00:18:09,620
I saw the jail house tats.

266
00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:12,248
Put it together with the blood tests.

267
00:18:13,826 --> 00:18:17,091
There were rumors, but Joey never said anything about it.

268
00:18:17,091 --> 00:18:20,188
If people find out he's bein' treated for hep "C"-

269
00:18:22,234 --> 00:18:26,136
Feds get that chart, someone says somethin' to somebody, word will get out.

270
00:18:26,136 --> 00:18:29,333
And then Joey's manhood, his rep, he's destroyed.

271
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:37,114
You're worried about how his coworkers will react at the Wal-Mart in Des Moines.

272
00:18:37,114 --> 00:18:40,276
He's not going into Witness Protection. I'm not gonna let that happen.

273
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:48,185
Listen, I don't know if you know about this, but mob businesses sometimes keep two sets of books.

274
00:18:48,185 --> 00:18:51,821
- One legit, one not.
- Exactly.

275
00:18:54,533 --> 00:18:56,467
You jerkin' my chain?

276
00:18:56,467 --> 00:19:00,198
Doctors are busy. Sometimes they forget to write things down. Happens all the time.

277
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,008
Thanks.

278
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:07,272
Oh, and, uh...

279
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,340
Whatever you're not giving him for whatever he doesn't have,

280
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:14,351
is that gonna fix him?

281
00:19:15,621 --> 00:19:17,555
I doubt it.

282
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,933
On your way to polish Vogler's car?

283
00:19:30,933 --> 00:19:33,062
Gone are the days of the grumpy old doc...

284
00:19:33,062 --> 00:19:36,767
Seeing patients in the basement of his house, getting paid a few chickens.

285
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:40,403
- How will I eat?
- You know what Cuddy's been locked away with Vogler about...

286
00:19:40,403 --> 00:19:42,674
All day today and yesterday?

287
00:19:42,674 --> 00:19:44,545
Floor polish costs through the roof?

288
00:19:44,545 --> 00:19:48,416
You. Her secretary's been at the photocopier all day with your records.

289
00:19:48,416 --> 00:19:52,218
- That's all they're looking at in there. 
- My car's been stolen.

290
00:19:54,993 --> 00:19:57,860
Or rein-car-nated.

291
00:20:04,836 --> 00:20:06,770
Pink slip.

292
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:10,535
A gift from the Arnello brothers.

293
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:18,940
You know, they're gangsters, sure, but they're thoughtful too.

294
00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:24,486
You can't keep it. It's... graft.

295
00:20:24,486 --> 00:20:26,683
No, no, no, no.

296
00:20:26,683 --> 00:20:30,159
Graft is if I tell him I'll only make him better if he slips me a couple bucks.

297
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:33,198
Or a payoff for something I'm not supposed to do.

298
00:20:33,198 --> 00:20:38,269
If I'd asked for the payoff, which I didn't, I would've done the bad thing anyway.

299
00:20:38,269 --> 00:20:40,464
So there's nothing wrong with this.

300
00:20:40,464 --> 00:20:42,473
- Right.
- Damn.

301
00:20:42,473 --> 00:20:45,442
Sixty-five.

302
00:20:45,442 --> 00:20:47,444
Perfectly restored.

303
00:20:47,444 --> 00:20:51,949
What do you think a guy like Joey would do if someone turned down a gift?

304
00:20:51,949 --> 00:20:54,611
That's kind of an insult, isn't it?

305
00:20:54,611 --> 00:20:58,850
He might hurt you. It's definitely possible.

306
00:20:58,850 --> 00:21:02,325
I'm screwed. Gotta take the car.

307
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:10,000
Did you see House's new car?

308
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,003
From Joey. He obviously can't keep it.

309
00:21:13,003 --> 00:21:15,801
You don't mind the hospital taking money from Vogler?

310
00:21:15,801 --> 00:21:18,035
That's different. Vogler's legit.

311
00:21:18,035 --> 00:21:21,739
That's worse. Vogler's money came with strings.

312
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:25,214
Vogler doesn't set me up to have a mobster take a swing at me.

313
00:21:25,214 --> 00:21:29,414
- I'm sure House didn't know-
- Joey's pressure dropped.

314
00:21:29,414 --> 00:21:31,820
Pushed IV fluids, now he's holding a hundred systolic.

315
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:35,121
- Septic?
- No, it looks like he's bleeding into his liver.

316
00:21:35,121 --> 00:21:37,787
Varices. See it with chronic hep "C" all the time.

317
00:21:37,787 --> 00:21:40,696
Biopsy's back.

318
00:21:40,696 --> 00:21:46,068
Two findings. Number one, lymphocytic infiltrate and no bridging fibrosis.

319
00:21:46,068 --> 00:21:48,732
Whatever's killing him's not hep "C." It's acute.

320
00:21:48,732 --> 00:21:51,139
Who said that? I forget.

321
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:56,542
What are you doing here? I told you you were off the case.

322
00:21:56,542 --> 00:22:01,416
Right. Your diabolic plan to convince the evil genius he's in the clear,

323
00:22:01,416 --> 00:22:03,511
so he'll let his guard down and make a fatal mistake.

324
00:22:03,511 --> 00:22:06,386
Sure. Well, it's clearly not gonna work now.

325
00:22:06,386 --> 00:22:08,551
What evil genius?

326
00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:13,086
If we knew that, we wouldn't need a diabolic plan, would we?

327
00:22:13,086 --> 00:22:17,602
- House thinks someone ratted him out to Vogler.
- What, one of us?

328
00:22:17,602 --> 00:22:20,001
No, you guys love me too much.

329
00:22:20,001 --> 00:22:24,566
Look, if it's not the hep "C," then what's the problem? What's causing the liver failure?

330
00:22:24,566 --> 00:22:27,578
Finding number two, toxins.

331
00:22:27,578 --> 00:22:32,049
No. He's only 30 years old, and his job doesn't expose him to heavy metals or environmental-

332
00:22:32,049 --> 00:22:34,278
He's a 30-year-old mobster.

333
00:22:34,278 --> 00:22:37,345
He doesn't have a job that results in accidental exposure to toxins.

334
00:22:37,345 --> 00:22:40,755
He has a job that results in intentional exposure to toxins.

335
00:22:44,496 --> 00:22:47,431
Someone's poisoned him.

336
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:05,846
Whatever this toxin is, it's doing the job and fast.

337
00:23:05,846 --> 00:23:08,385
How long till we have the next round of test results?

338
00:23:08,385 --> 00:23:11,616
- About four hours.
- Too bad his liver's only gonna last another two.

339
00:23:11,616 --> 00:23:14,454
- We're gonna have to get him a new one.
- What, in two hours?

340
00:23:18,864 --> 00:23:21,697
There is another way.

341
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,461
Relax. It's kosher.

342
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:39,877
This is so bizarre.

343
00:23:39,877 --> 00:23:42,715
Not really. We just take Joey's blood out of his body...

344
00:23:42,715 --> 00:23:44,949
And run it through a pig.

345
00:23:44,949 --> 00:23:49,392
The pig's liver does what Joey's can't. It cleans the blood.

346
00:23:49,392 --> 00:23:51,395
Which we send right back to him.

347
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:55,133
And the pig makes him better?

348
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:58,727
Nope. Just buys us some time to figure out what's poisoning your brother.

349
00:23:59,971 --> 00:24:02,963
Like nothin'. Like you do this all the time.

350
00:24:02,963 --> 00:24:06,101
Oh, we've basically got a barn in the basement.

351
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:15,285
Cross off hemlock.

352
00:24:15,285 --> 00:24:18,413
You thought he was being poisoned by hemlock?

353
00:24:18,413 --> 00:24:20,583
Dr. Euripides tell you to check for that?

354
00:24:20,583 --> 00:24:23,093
It grows wild by the highways out here.

355
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:27,427
So, how much do you like House?

356
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:32,533
- Chase has a big mouth.
- Yeah. He's probably the one who ratted to Vogler.

357
00:24:32,533 --> 00:24:35,801
- I don't think that he would-
- Does it hurt when you're with House?

358
00:24:35,801 --> 00:24:38,308
Little pain in the tummy, but it sort of feels good too?

359
00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:41,675
- I don't have the right to show interest in someone?
- You absolutely do.

360
00:24:41,675 --> 00:24:44,214
And I absolutely have the right to humiliate you for it.

361
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,918
Anything?

362
00:24:47,918 --> 00:24:52,446
White blood count's low, probably a result of the illness. Nothing to connect to the liver.

363
00:24:52,446 --> 00:24:54,458
- Is he a smoker?
- Let me check.

364
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:03,122
Early signs of emphysema. He's been smoking at least a dozen years.

365
00:25:03,122 --> 00:25:05,135
Eighteen. You got that from the white count?

366
00:25:05,135 --> 00:25:07,569
Nope. Got that from the chest X-ray.

367
00:25:07,569 --> 00:25:09,607
White count just tells me he's quitting.

368
00:25:11,576 --> 00:25:13,510
Two weeks ago.

369
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,688
How's your tummy?

370
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,016
Flat and taut.

371
00:25:29,016 --> 00:25:31,585
I've been on the job for 12 years.

372
00:25:31,585 --> 00:25:36,123
You put $3,000 in your wife's checking account this morning. I wanna know where it came from.

373
00:25:36,123 --> 00:25:40,661
- I got a perfect record.
- Where did you get the money?

374
00:25:40,661 --> 00:25:43,105
Cancel the thumbscrews. I've got our culprit.

375
00:25:43,105 --> 00:25:45,608
- Who?
- Not who, "Hu."

376
00:25:45,608 --> 00:25:48,908
- Huh?
- Thanks for playing along.

377
00:25:48,908 --> 00:25:51,972
Chai Hu. Chinese herb in his "quit smoking" candy.

378
00:25:53,051 --> 00:25:56,350
Reduces cravings. Also reduces his white blood count.

379
00:25:56,350 --> 00:25:58,719
Oh, yeah, he also took enough of them to poison himself.

380
00:25:58,719 --> 00:26:02,055
We'll keep him on the pig for a few more hours, and then take him off the candy.

381
00:26:02,055 --> 00:26:04,061
He'll be fine.

382
00:26:04,061 --> 00:26:06,962
Pig won't be. Oh, no.

383
00:26:17,475 --> 00:26:18,475
Hey.

384
00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:25,816
Hey, feelin' better?

385
00:26:25,816 --> 00:26:27,875
I'm famished.

386
00:26:27,875 --> 00:26:29,887
I think they got fish sticks on the menu.

387
00:26:29,887 --> 00:26:33,254
Ah, yeah. Makes me miss prison.

388
00:26:37,996 --> 00:26:40,362
So, the mobster's good to go?

389
00:26:40,362 --> 00:26:42,491
I'll keep him overnight, then let the feds know...

390
00:26:42,491 --> 00:26:45,001
He's good to rat out whoever he wants.

391
00:26:45,001 --> 00:26:48,005
- Brother won't be happy.
- Maybe I have to give back the car.

392
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:51,742
- You should let Vogler tell the feds.
- Why?

393
00:26:51,742 --> 00:26:54,370
Because it matters to him.

394
00:26:54,370 --> 00:26:57,040
Because you humiliated him the first time Joey was released.

395
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,949
- You think you should still be in third there, ace?
- He humiliated himself.

396
00:27:00,949 --> 00:27:05,581
And because your job depends on the kind of mood Vogler's in at the end of his marathon with Cuddy.

397
00:27:05,581 --> 00:27:09,718
Seriously, man, have you ever actually driven an automobile before? There are four gears, you know?

398
00:27:09,718 --> 00:27:13,127
The '66 came with a "shut up" button.

399
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:36,545
I have a problem with the tests.

400
00:27:36,545 --> 00:27:38,816
I need to know-

401
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:44,595
It is my medical opinion that the patient is healthy and can be released.

402
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:49,899
Thanks for letting us know.

403
00:27:54,005 --> 00:27:56,633
Get me the US attorney's office.

404
00:27:56,633 --> 00:28:00,075
- I see you found out what we're meeting about.
- You're having a meeting?

405
00:28:00,075 --> 00:28:03,410
Well, whatever the reason, the coat looks good on you.

406
00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:07,914
Chai Hu lozenges cause this kind of liver failure? No way.

407
00:28:07,914 --> 00:28:11,752
Not by themselves. But in combination with the interferon it's like gas to a flame.

408
00:28:11,752 --> 00:28:14,348
- What interferon?
- For the hep "C."

409
00:28:14,348 --> 00:28:17,691
What hep "C"?

410
00:28:17,691 --> 00:28:20,322
Is hiding a mobster's hep "C" that important?

411
00:28:20,322 --> 00:28:23,333
Is letting the feds know everything that important?

412
00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:26,029
- You are a piece of work. Even now, knowing...
- Ed...

413
00:28:26,029 --> 00:28:26,869
Edward.

414
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,000
Joey's back in a coma.

415
00:28:36,781 --> 00:28:38,715
He's stable, but comatose.

416
00:28:38,715 --> 00:28:40,717
Worse than before. He's on a ventilator.

417
00:28:40,717 --> 00:28:42,719
Question is, why?

418
00:28:44,422 --> 00:28:47,220
It's not his brain. It's not a toxin.

419
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:49,886
Our friend Babe helped with that one.

420
00:28:49,886 --> 00:28:52,054
- So, what else?
- Hep "C."

421
00:28:52,054 --> 00:28:56,567
We never really treated it. We stopped the interferon when it started poisoning his liver.

422
00:28:56,567 --> 00:29:00,195
Am I gonna have to write a song about it? His chronic hep "C'"...

423
00:29:00,195 --> 00:29:02,865
Was not bad enough to produce these symptoms.

424
00:29:02,865 --> 00:29:05,910
- The estrogen level indicates it is.
- It indicates something else entirely.

425
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:10,175
We can't give him interferon now. There are still traces of the lozenges in his system.

426
00:29:10,175 --> 00:29:12,341
- It'll just poison him again.
- Genetics.

427
00:29:12,341 --> 00:29:14,408
We don't treat the virus, we change it.

428
00:29:14,408 --> 00:29:16,784
A nonnucleoside allosteric inhibitor.

429
00:29:16,784 --> 00:29:18,914
It's never been tried on a human being. It could kill him.

430
00:29:18,914 --> 00:29:22,221
- What's the difference? He's dead without it.
- They're running a trial...

431
00:29:22,221 --> 00:29:24,887
On dogs at St. Sebastian's out in Philadelphia.

432
00:29:24,887 --> 00:29:26,897
I'll make the call.

433
00:29:28,299 --> 00:29:31,598
What else could cause his estrogen level to be that high?

434
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,270
Nothing.

435
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,894
We're gonna put the medicine in here.

436
00:29:57,894 --> 00:30:00,829
Don't want it to burn his veins when it goes in.

437
00:30:00,829 --> 00:30:02,867
And you have no idea if it'll work.

438
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:04,993
It's shown promise in testing.

439
00:30:21,019 --> 00:30:23,749
Ma-maybe there's nothing up there. I watched him like a hawk.

440
00:30:23,749 --> 00:30:26,916
Pretty sure you didn't.

441
00:30:26,916 --> 00:30:29,960
I didn't let him play with any more little toys.

442
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,020
Thus forcing him to shove a big one up there.

443
00:30:35,099 --> 00:30:37,431
Stop, or I snap your nose off!

444
00:30:48,713 --> 00:30:50,544
He- he's not too smart.

445
00:30:50,544 --> 00:30:54,051
Genetics is a powerful force.

446
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:03,425
On the other hand, maybe he's smarter than you think.

447
00:31:05,930 --> 00:31:07,864
- What's goin' on?
- Just give me a second.

448
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,734
Always wanted to use one of these.

449
00:31:23,014 --> 00:31:25,107
- Tilt his head back.
- I don't know. I do-

450
00:31:25,107 --> 00:31:27,947
Just tilt his head back.

451
00:31:40,965 --> 00:31:44,867
Nice grasp of concepts. Relationships. Very smart.

452
00:31:44,867 --> 00:31:47,029
Very cool.

453
00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:49,903
First the policeman, the fireman, then the fire truck.

454
00:31:49,903 --> 00:31:53,535
Your brother was sending in teams to save the cat.

455
00:31:54,535 --> 00:31:55,535
Wow.

456
00:31:58,082 --> 00:32:01,142
Sometimes the simplest answer-

457
00:32:41,159 --> 00:32:44,720
What types of comas do you just snap out of?

458
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,663
He's not snapping out of this one. He's not improving.

459
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:51,759
You've crossed out estrogen. You got an explanation?

460
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:54,498
Yes, I have, a very simple one.

461
00:32:54,498 --> 00:32:55,498
And?

462
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:59,334
It's private.

463
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:05,781
You think I'm the one- running to Vogler.

464
00:33:07,018 --> 00:33:09,578
You're currently top of the list.

465
00:33:09,578 --> 00:33:11,986
Toxic comas-

466
00:33:11,986 --> 00:33:15,992
Person's away from the cause long enough, they recover.

467
00:33:15,992 --> 00:33:19,587
The feds checked for poisons. We checked for poisons. I didn't do it.

468
00:33:19,587 --> 00:33:22,724
- It's not a poison then. 
- An allergy.

469
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:27,963
- Did you hear me?
- What about a food sensitivity?

470
00:33:27,963 --> 00:33:32,271
All his food is strictly controlled. There's no correlation between his meals and his condition.

471
00:33:32,271 --> 00:33:37,406
He had steak and potatoes before the first coma, and the hospital served fish sticks before the second one.

472
00:33:41,052 --> 00:33:42,883
You can trust me.

473
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:50,994
Problem is, if I can't trust you, I can't trust your statement that I can trust you.

474
00:33:50,994 --> 00:33:53,929
But thanks anyway. You've been a big help.

475
00:34:05,977 --> 00:34:08,969
- So, where did you get the money?
- What?

476
00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:12,574
- Someone paid you off.
- What are you talkin' about?

477
00:34:12,574 --> 00:34:14,584
He wasn't poisoned. You told us that...

478
00:34:14,584 --> 00:34:18,918
Who's talking about poison? I'm talking about payoffs, graft.

479
00:34:18,918 --> 00:34:21,220
Leave him alone.

480
00:34:23,961 --> 00:34:26,623
You paid the marshal off.

481
00:34:26,623 --> 00:34:28,927
I didn't pay him to poison my brother.

482
00:34:28,927 --> 00:34:31,491
No. It just worked out that way.

483
00:34:31,491 --> 00:34:34,663
I gave the guy some money to bring in some decent food.

484
00:34:34,663 --> 00:34:38,505
Better than fish sticks? I'm thinking steak.

485
00:34:38,505 --> 00:34:40,908
We asked for pasta, but those stupid feds could care less-

486
00:34:40,908 --> 00:34:43,276
He had steak before both comas.

487
00:34:43,276 --> 00:34:47,340
Your brother has ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.

488
00:34:47,340 --> 00:34:49,943
Want me to write it down?

489
00:34:49,943 --> 00:34:54,048
Good, 'cause it takes a while. It's genetic, can present at any time.

490
00:34:54,048 --> 00:34:57,617
If the patient eats a large amount of protein, especially if he's not used to it-

491
00:34:57,617 --> 00:35:01,791
What, that's it? He just stays off the red meat, and he's gonna be fine?

492
00:35:01,791 --> 00:35:04,801
Yes. If I'm right and we stop the current treatment, he gets better.

493
00:35:04,801 --> 00:35:08,635
If we stop the current treatment and I'm wrong, he dies.

494
00:35:08,635 --> 00:35:11,766
- Why would you be wrong?
- His estrogen level.

495
00:35:11,766 --> 00:35:14,437
OTD doesn't explain his estrogen level.

496
00:35:14,437 --> 00:35:18,642
But I have a theory.

497
00:35:18,642 --> 00:35:24,917
There is one chemical that, if ingested, can cause a person's estrogen level to increase dramatically.

498
00:35:24,917 --> 00:35:28,152
- What is it?
- It's called estrogen.

499
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:33,088
Joey's taking estrogen? What, he wants a sex change?

500
00:35:33,088 --> 00:35:35,098
No, nothing like that.

501
00:35:35,098 --> 00:35:38,761
It's called "Male Flame."

502
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:43,170
It's probably more consumer-friendly in the original Chinese.

503
00:35:43,170 --> 00:35:46,267
It's an herbal aphrodisiac marketed to gay men.

504
00:35:46,267 --> 00:35:50,246
- Ah, here we go.
- And it's sold on the same Web site that sells his Chai Hu lozenges.

505
00:35:50,246 --> 00:35:53,340
Guess what's in it? It starts with an "E."

506
00:35:53,340 --> 00:35:55,885
You wanna get hit too?

507
00:35:55,885 --> 00:36:00,583
That would be quite a trick. He slapped me so hard, his brother turned straight.

508
00:36:00,583 --> 00:36:04,094
Joey's a big-time mobster. Guys like that don't get raped in prison.

509
00:36:04,094 --> 00:36:08,189
They get gifts. They get food, drugs, cigarettes.

510
00:36:08,189 --> 00:36:10,826
Cable TV.

511
00:36:13,070 --> 00:36:15,004
Joey is not gay.

512
00:36:15,004 --> 00:36:18,439
Maybe not gay, but certainly delightful.

513
00:36:18,439 --> 00:36:24,141
You, on the other hand, hitting a doctor, even if it was only Chase,

514
00:36:24,141 --> 00:36:28,208
and asking another one to keep Joey's chart fresh and homo-free...

515
00:36:28,208 --> 00:36:30,447
That's a bit of an overreaction, wouldn't you say?

516
00:36:30,447 --> 00:36:34,480
- It's almost like you're scared that it might be true.
- You're wrong.

517
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,926
Okay. Then don't stop the treatment.

518
00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:43,364
But if you're wrong, he dies.

519
00:37:12,196 --> 00:37:14,130
Okay.

520
00:37:29,947 --> 00:37:32,939
He never said anything to me about it, not once.

521
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,820
That's what I love about you mob guys, so tolerant of others.

522
00:37:41,820 --> 00:37:43,883
So accepting.

523
00:37:43,883 --> 00:37:48,125
Only way he was coming out was way, way out.

524
00:37:48,125 --> 00:37:52,295
Lose the tattoos, change his name, move to another town.

525
00:37:52,295 --> 00:37:55,567
How's a guy like him gonna do that?

526
00:37:55,567 --> 00:37:57,574
Witness Protection.

527
00:37:57,574 --> 00:38:00,668
It's not just for witnesses anymore.

528
00:38:00,668 --> 00:38:03,179
You can go in now, sit with him if you want.

529
00:38:24,935 --> 00:38:27,563
- How much longer?
- It's only been three hours.

530
00:38:27,563 --> 00:38:32,337
- If it's the OTD...
- If it's the OTD? What if House is wrong, huh?

531
00:38:32,337 --> 00:38:35,573
That severe a reaction, it'll take some time-

532
00:38:35,573 --> 00:38:39,980
- He makes these assumptions about people, talks you into things-
- Mr. Arnello-

533
00:38:39,980 --> 00:38:43,851
He's awake. He wants to see you.

534
00:38:51,028 --> 00:38:52,962
You look like crap.

535
00:38:52,962 --> 00:38:57,023
That's a joke. See? I'm sick. I said you look like crap.

536
00:38:57,023 --> 00:38:59,296
You have no idea what I just went through out there.

537
00:39:01,238 --> 00:39:04,036
You kept gettin' worse.

538
00:39:04,036 --> 00:39:06,235
And Dr. House kept sayin' all this crap.

539
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:11,637
You know, if- if I think you're normal, then he's gonna keep giving you the medicine.

540
00:39:11,637 --> 00:39:14,810
- If you weren't-
- Weren't what?

541
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:19,122
Normal?

542
00:39:20,624 --> 00:39:22,558
Yeah.

543
00:39:24,261 --> 00:39:26,195
He said you were a fag.

544
00:39:28,099 --> 00:39:30,363
Witness Protection- that's your big chance to be one.

545
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:36,936
- You believed him?
- I don't know what to believe.

546
00:39:36,936 --> 00:39:39,567
You were sick.

547
00:39:39,567 --> 00:39:43,636
I had to make a decision. I thought you were gonna die.

548
00:39:50,287 --> 00:39:52,619
You believed him.

549
00:39:52,619 --> 00:39:54,624
He stopped the medicine.

550
00:39:55,993 --> 00:39:58,427
Here I am.

551
00:40:05,836 --> 00:40:08,862
- I wanted to talk to you about this.
- There's nothin' to talk about.

552
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:21,684
You, uh, ordered some Chinese Internet health crap,

553
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:25,756
and they sent the wrong pills, and you took 'em.

554
00:40:27,825 --> 00:40:30,259
Yeah, yeah. That, uh-

555
00:40:32,229 --> 00:40:35,255
That must be it.

556
00:40:46,877 --> 00:40:48,811
You wanna testify?

557
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:51,914
Go ahead.

558
00:40:51,914 --> 00:40:54,974
I told the doc. He said it's okay.

559
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:59,020
- I don't expect you to understand.
- I don't.

560
00:41:03,894 --> 00:41:06,158
All I need to know is you're my brother, Joey.

561
00:41:09,066 --> 00:41:11,466
If you think this...

562
00:41:11,466 --> 00:41:14,402
Thing, whatever, is gonna make you happy,

563
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:20,743
then I think you should do it.

564
00:41:25,082 --> 00:41:27,016
You should.

565
00:41:36,026 --> 00:41:38,017
Vogler wants to fire you.

566
00:41:39,029 --> 00:41:41,964
Lose the whole department.

567
00:41:41,964 --> 00:41:44,660
Good thing you fought for me though, right?

568
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:48,603
Dress was a nice move, but you gotta follow it up.

569
00:41:48,603 --> 00:41:50,697
Nasty weekend in Vegas.

570
00:41:50,697 --> 00:41:53,937
Something that shows off your real administrative skills.

571
00:41:53,937 --> 00:41:55,842
He threatened to fire me.

572
00:42:01,819 --> 00:42:04,083
I'm sorry.

573
00:42:06,223 --> 00:42:09,488
So, how long do I have? I've got a lot of personal stuff to pack up.

574
00:42:09,488 --> 00:42:11,619
And I assume you're gonna want to throw a party.

575
00:42:11,619 --> 00:42:13,663
I told him I know where the bodies are buried.

576
00:42:13,663 --> 00:42:18,293
The stuff he needs to know that's not in the books. I told him he can't ditch me.

577
00:42:18,293 --> 00:42:20,929
He's only keeping you on because you know the secret handshakes.

578
00:42:20,929 --> 00:42:24,372
He's a quick study. Six months, he'll have the moves down. He won't need you anymore.

579
00:42:24,372 --> 00:42:27,376
- I'll deal with that then.
- So I stay.

580
00:42:27,376 --> 00:42:28,376
Yes.

581
00:42:30,281 --> 00:42:32,511
But some things are going to change.

582
00:42:33,684 --> 00:42:36,983
Profits. New world order.

583
00:42:36,983 --> 00:42:40,114
- Everything's about profits. 
- Yeah, that's real new.

584
00:42:40,114 --> 00:42:44,092
You could rent out the Corvette every once in a while or lend it to a friend.

585
00:42:44,092 --> 00:42:46,561
That would be easy, and it would be wrong.

586
00:42:46,561 --> 00:42:48,427
But Cuddy stood up for you.

587
00:42:48,427 --> 00:42:50,467
To a point.

588
00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:52,468
To what point?

589
00:42:52,468 --> 00:42:56,267
I gotta do six more clinic hours a month. So do two of them.

590
00:42:57,341 --> 00:43:00,174
Why only two?

591
00:43:00,174 --> 00:43:02,178
'Cause one of them's gone.

592
00:43:03,614 --> 00:43:05,707
I gotta fire somebody.

593
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:24,100
Good morning.

594
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:35,479
