1
00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:08,220
Now I'm gonna kill you!

2
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:13,520
Uh, I need a refill.

3
00:00:14,770 --> 00:00:17,390
- You've already had three.
- So what? They're free.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,550
I got a birthday. Get it yourself.

5
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:21,430
No wonder he doesn’t get any tips.

6
00:00:21,450 --> 00:00:23,070
All right...

7
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:27,300
Who's ready to sing the Ralphy's rumpus birthday rump shake? 

8
00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:38,530
Let's sing, let's ride let’s bling, let's slide it’s time for Ralphy

9
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:44,750
we'll dance, eat cake and do the rump shake it’s time for Ralphy

10
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:45,820
Are you okay, man? 

11
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:52,660
So hip-hooray’ cause Ralphy wants to play

12
00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:53,270
You okay? 

13
00:00:53,290 --> 00:01:00,470
Stand up and cheer, for Ralphy’s here let's spin, let's turn let’s wing, let's learn

14
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,150
It's time for Ralphy--

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,780
Okay, all right. Let's get you in the back. Come on.

16
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:13,380
It's gonna be okay, kids. Sorry!

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,600
- Got a heartbeat.
- Jack? Jack? 

18
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:26,400
- I need you to step back.
- He's my brother.

19
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:27,660
Jack! Wake up!

20
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:30,240
Call your parents, tell them to go to Princeton-Plainsboro hospital.

21
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:32,360
Our parents died.

22
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:34,650
He's all we've got.

23
00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:42,330

24
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:51,020
www.gwedynn.com

25
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:59,650

26
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,510
I was not parked illegally. I-I live here.

27
00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:15,520
Love note from detective Tritter.

28
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,280
Heart attack.

29
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:23,660
His cath was clean and echo showed no structural abnormalities.

30
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:26,650
Fatigue, night sweats, weight loss preceded the heart attack.

31
00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:29,490
18-year-old kid, suddenly an orphan and a single father of two.


32
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,120
Party of five! Powerful stuff.

33
00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:33,880
The O.C. of its day.

34
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,970
Stress explains everything except the itchy feet.

35
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:39,440
Athlete's foot covers that.

36
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:41,370
Waiters work 12 hours a day in old sneakers.

37
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:44,990
Hmm, good idea. Ignore the symptoms. Makes our job easy.

38
00:02:45,010 --> 00:02:47,670
I'm not ignoring a symptom. I'm explaining a symptom.

39
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,910
Kid's been hanging over a toilet, despite antiemetic therapy.

40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:54,650
Persistent vomiting could indicate increased intercranial pressure, tumor--

41
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:57,220
Sure. Heart problems. It's gotta be the brain.

42
00:02:57,230 --> 00:02:59,200
Thank god there's a neurologist in the room.

43
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:02,380
Right. It's the feet. If only I were a podiatrist.

44
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:06,120
Probably caught an intestinal virus from one of those feral kids running around.

45
00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:08,620
Repeated vomiting causes an electrolyte imbalance,

46
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:11,560
which leads to an arrhythmia, which leads to the heart attack.

47
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,350
- And itchy feet.
- Nope.

48
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:16,810
That’s it? Nope? 

49
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:18,370
I've said too much already.

50
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:22,100
- This isn't a game, House.
- No, it's not. But it could be.

51
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:26,050
- What are you writing? 
- Nothing.

52
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:27,700
If you know the diagnosis, why don't--

53
00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:30,380
How are you gonna learn to swim unless I take off your floaties and throw you into shark-infested waters? 

54
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:33,050
You can’t know what's wrong after a 30-second perusal of his file.

55
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:36,560
Apparently you can’t. Now, what's a game without rules? 

56
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,430
No tag-backs, no biting. You get one test each.

57
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
And the clock runs until lunch.

58
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:47,750
If I'm right, he'll still be alive. If I'm wrong, this is a very cruel game.

59
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:48,860

60
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:51,950
You're late. I charge for the time you were supposed to be here.

61
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,820
Tritter towed my car.

62
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:56,070
He's frozen my assets. He's on a crusade.

63
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:59,080
You're a person of interest in a narcotics investigation.

64
00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:00,880
You're linked to their suspect and his activities.

65
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:04,990
I'm not Pablo Escobar's evil henchman cruising into Miami in a cigarette boat.

66
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200
I'm a physician who prescribed vicodin to a pain patient.

67
00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:11,070
This police report you faxed me says they found 600 pills in his apartment.

68
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
- You prescribed those? 
- He's in chronic pain.

69
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:16,220
- This is obviously an abuse of power.
- Is that a yes or no? 

70
00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:18,580
Patients build up a tolerance over the years.

71
00:04:18,590 --> 00:04:21,000
Perfect motive for him to forge those scrips.

72
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:22,720
- I still don't have an answer.
- What, are we, like, role playing? 

73
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:24,740
Yeah. And you suck at it.

74
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:28,480
Which is really unfortunate, because you’re pretending to be you.

75
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,010
I gotta get to court.

76
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,840
Michael told me you could help me get my car back.

77
00:04:31,850 --> 00:04:35,360
Yeah, divorce lawyers usually know the ins and outs of drug enforcement.

78
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:38,020
You want your car back, you're gonna have to give the cops what they want.

79
00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:42,140
Thanks. Usually people feel helpless in these situations.

80
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:44,640
Dr. House is probably going to jail.

81
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:48,680
You keep on lying for him, you'll go right along with him.

82
00:04:48,690 --> 00:04:52,350
House was on this page when he got that annoying "I'm such a genius" look.

83
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,040
- What's there? 
- Patient history.

84
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:57,470
He's 18. Probably drinks, smokes, does drugs.

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,970
How close am I? 

86
00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:01,910
Quit drugs when his parents died. Quit smoking.

87
00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:08,120
House didn't mock my viral idea. He just said it was wrong.

88
00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:10,630
Which means he didn't want to give reasons. Which means,

89
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,690
I must have been close.

90
00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:14,850
I'm thinking bacterial.

91
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:16,830
I'm doing a blood culture.

92
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:19,030
I am doing an MRI.

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,570
It there was a tumor, intercranial pressure could cause his brain to herniate before lunch.

94
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:25,550
- Same thing with your stress test.
- Which is why I’m ditching it.

95
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,900
- What are you doing instead? 
- Not telling.

96
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:29,860
Seriously--you playing his game? 

97
00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:32,120
We're all playing his game. Might as well enjoy it.

98
00:05:33,390 --> 00:05:35,160
Anybody else sick at work? 

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,230
I had a stomach ache before him.

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,610
This isn't your fault, Will. Keep working.

101
00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:45,070
My brother's in the hospital. Mrs. Collier won't care if I finish my homework.

102
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:48,160
Your brother cares if you finish your homework.

103
00:05:59,570 --> 00:06:02,170
Can I be your imaginary friend? 

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,820
He's a doctor.

105
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:07,440
How are the feet? Still itch? 

106
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,280
Is that important? 

107
00:06:10,290 --> 00:06:13,080
I don't know. Is it? 

108
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:16,750
What kinds of drugs you into? 

109
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:18,370
You don't have to talk about that right now.

110
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:21,070
No, it's okay. I don't keep secrets from them.

111
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,040
They know I did drugs before our parents died.

112
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:26,850
Clever. Admit the past. Deny the present.

113
00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:29,120
I'm clean. I'm raising two kids.

114
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:30,960
It'd be pretty irresponsible, wouldn't it? 

115
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,350
But confiding in an eight-year-old is okay? 

116
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,690
If I'm open with them, then they'll be open with me.

117
00:06:35,710 --> 00:06:39,620
Yeah. Turning the other cheek's a good strategy in boxing.

118
00:06:39,630 --> 00:06:41,500
Kids don't lie because they got trust issues.

119
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:43,560
They lie because they got something to hide.

120
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:47,180
Look at him, sitting there doing nothing, and he's still lying.

121
00:06:47,190 --> 00:06:49,090
We don't lie to Jack.

122
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:51,510
- Spelling test you failed and forgot to--
- No.

123
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,430
- Math test? 
- No.

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,580
Fight with the kid sitting next to you? 

125
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:56,010
He doesn't sit next to me.

126
00:06:58,390 --> 00:07:01,050
- The other one's probably having sex.
- I am not!

127
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:04,470
Yet. When you start, you're gonna lie about it.

128
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:17,490
- Colder.
- I'm not playing.

129
00:07:17,490 --> 00:07:20,490
Keep very still for me, Jack. This won't take long.

130
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:24,380
How much dope did you smoke? 

131
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:27,990
- Does he have to be here? 
- No. Ignore him.

132
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:30,560
- It's not his lungs.
- I never said it was.

133
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:32,140
What about the cigarettes? 

134
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:35,380
How did you quit? Gum, patch, hypnosis? 

135
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:38,870
He went from two packs to nothing, cold turkey.

136
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,540
Or we could just make small talk.

137
00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:43,710
You still seeing that nurse in Peds? 

138
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,360
I just don't think she's right for you.

139
00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:49,130
You need someone... detached, calculating, ambitious.

140
00:07:49,130 --> 00:07:51,190
You need yourself in a skirt.

141
00:07:51,210 --> 00:07:54,870
- Jack, he asked you a question.
- I didn't really quit.

142
00:07:54,870 --> 00:07:56,520
I just sort of lost taste for it.

143
00:07:56,530 --> 00:07:58,110
Interesting.

144
00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,940
Sounds like one of those symptom thingies.

145
00:07:59,950 --> 00:08:04,380
He's still puking, and he had a heart attack and itchy feet.

146
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:08,030
- It's not his lungs.
- I never said it was.

147
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,500
Ice cold.

148
00:08:18,370 --> 00:08:20,890
I'm injecting ergonovine to see if your heart attack

149
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:24,420
was caused by a spasm in the vessels surrounding your heart.

150
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,860
Let me know if anything feels... Unusual.

151
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:33,400
If the problem's around my heart, why did that other doctor look at my brain? 

152
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:36,420
Yeah, why did that other doctor look at his brain? 

153
00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:40,300
We're just trying to eliminate as many possibilities as we can.

154
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:45,470
So because you think the spasm caused his heart attack, you're gonna induce another spasm.

155
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,190
Did you consent to this? 

156
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:49,030
Everything's under control.

157
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,610
Tests are gonna identify which arteries are affected so we can repair them.

158
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:54,790
Your meds don't seem to be doing anything.

159
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,530
So either you're wrong, or his system hasn’t been pushed enough to set anything off.

160
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,050
You wanna get back home, right? 

161
00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:13,930
I mean, you're probably already falling behind with the housework, the bills.

162
00:09:13,940 --> 00:09:17,300
How many sick days do you think you'll get before they replace you? 

163
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:22,310
Heart rate's up, but nothing else.

164
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:24,610
They can't fire me if I'm sick.

165
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,900
Right, you’re irreplaceable.

166
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:29,960
Who else would they find qualified to dance with a rodent? 

167
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,560
How can you even support your family? 

168
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:35,050
What happens when those kids grow out of their clothes, when they get sick? 

169
00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:37,080
Still no spasm.

170
00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:39,280
They'll take those kids away from you, Jack.

171
00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:43,670
Maybe I should bring them in here right now so that you can kiss them good-bye.

172
00:09:44,179 --> 00:09:47,270
Can't you see his heart is fine?! Stop torturing him!

173
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,630
What kind of doctor are you? 

174
00:09:51,330 --> 00:09:54,380
Wonderful, thank you so much. Okay, bye.

175
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,590
- You're just getting here? 
- Buses suck.

176
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,900
- Where's your car? 
- It's a hostage.

177
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:02,280
Tritter wants me to testify against House.

178
00:10:02,290 --> 00:10:05,420
- You're not going to.
- Is that a question or an order? 

179
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:08,330
Any sort of conviction will cost House his license.

180
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:09,600
Which will cost this hospital.

181
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,810
Relax, I'm not gonna mess with your precious resource.

182
00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:14,070
I told my lawyer to tell Tritter to go to hell.

183
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Marco!

184
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Why are all my prescriptions getting bounced back? 

185
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,890
Sorry, Dr. Wilson. I was trying to call you. Where's your phone? 

186
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:25,750
In my car. My patients, on the other hand, are here and needed their medications.

187
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,320
I'm sorry, I can’t. Your DEA number’s been suspended.

188
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,580
Why so sad? 

189
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:37,080
There's still a chance that Chase got it right.

190
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,730
Oh! That was suspenseful for about two seconds.

191
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:44,570
Blood culture was negative for bacteria.

192
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,540
Positive for hepatitis A? 

193
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:50,120
Hmm, I wonder who could have ordered that extra test.

194
00:10:50,130 --> 00:10:52,840
Must be somebody who knew what persistent vomiting,

195
00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:55,090
sudden distaste for nicotine and itchy feet have in common.

196
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:56,720
Hep A doesn’t explain the heart attack.

197
00:10:56,730 --> 00:11:00,580
No, but as Chase so deftly pointed out earlier, puking does.

198
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480
And hep A explains the puking.

199
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:05,930
If this had been real life instead of just a game...

200
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,990
The DEA just revoked my prescription privileges.

201
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:14,470
Who's gonna prescribe my vicodin? 

202
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,390
Yes, well, that's why I'm here. This is a disaster for you.

203
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,930
Relax.

204
00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:21,180
Tritter's just getting desperate. He's got no real evidence.

205
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:22,800
He's trying to squeeze you into ratting.

206
00:11:22,810 --> 00:11:24,980
I'm not gonna let him squeeze my patients.

207
00:11:24,990 --> 00:11:26,310
They'll be fine.

208
00:11:26,330 --> 00:11:29,140
Most of your cancer medicine sucks anyway.

209
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:34,050
I'm gonna use your team to do my prescribing till this is straightened out.

210
00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:38,040
Suddenly this doesn't seem nearly as dramatic.

211
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,740
Go pump IVIG into the kid. Cure him and get him out of here.

212
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:44,730
Hep A? 

213
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:49,060
No. "Chase, "blood test for bacteria.

214
00:11:49,070 --> 00:11:51,190
"Foreman, MRI". Too stubborn to check the lungs.

215
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Cameron, nice try. No spasm".

216
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,920
"But the princess sat and sat and sat".

217
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,480
Pretending not to listen,

218
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:11,300
pretending to write in her journal with the flowers on it.

219
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:14,680
Pretending she didn't like stories about eight-year-olds who save the world.

220
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:15,880
I'm 11.

221
00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:17,430
Which is why you can no longer save the world.

222
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:20,140
- I'm eight.
- Yeah.

223
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:21,900
We're all completely dependent on you.

224
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:23,350
- Morning!
- Mornin'.

225
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Good news. We can take you off the IVIG.

226
00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:28,190
The hep A has cleared your system.

227
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,930
- You'll be good to go by tomorrow.
- Yeah!

228
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:33,150
How do you think I got it? 

229
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:34,630
It could have been contaminated food.

230
00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:36,820
It could have been from cleaning bathrooms at work.

231
00:12:36,820 --> 00:12:38,700
Or it could have been...

232
00:12:40,350 --> 00:12:42,290
Don't worry. They've heard it all.

233
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,680
Anilingus is a common way.

234
00:12:44,690 --> 00:12:48,640
You should just tell the people that you've dated they should get themselves checked.

235
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:52,820
Don't worry, I've been too busy chasing after these guys to go spelunking.

236
00:12:52,820 --> 00:12:54,370
You're gross.

237
00:12:54,970 --> 00:12:56,480
I think.

238
00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:59,210
- Does your arm hurt? 
- Arm's fine, bro.

239
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:02,730
- Then why is it bleeding? 
- It's not, it’s...

240
00:13:05,230 --> 00:13:06,740
Raise your arm above your head.

241
00:13:08,010 --> 00:13:09,700
Your ear.

242
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:11,440
And your nose.

243
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:23,000
High PT and PTT on Jack's blood panel confirm a coagulopathy.

244
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:26,420
So... we cure the hep A...

245
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:30,010
And something else pops up. Interesting.

246
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:33,870
What infections cause dic? 

247
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:36,040
You okay? 

248
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:39,400
I hurt my shoulder playing fantasy football.

249
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,090
Shall we discuss what causes dic, or shall we just send the kid back to his miserable life? 

250
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,040
- He's not miserable.
- Right.

251
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:48,440
He's thrilled that his parents are dead and his life is over.

252
00:13:48,450 --> 00:13:51,660
The restaurant's probably teeming with E. Coli, eikenella, and strep.

253
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:54,410
Kids don't wash their hands between the potty and the party, and--

254
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:56,810
or it's a food-borne toxin. Jack eats at that cesspool every day.

255
00:13:56,820 --> 00:13:58,730
Jack's the only one who got sick.

256
00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:03,300
Kid's got tattoos, piercings, and probably some nasty little girl loaned him the hep A.

257
00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:05,360
Could have also given him syphilis or gonorrhea.

258
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,180
- I need one of you.
- Take Cameron.

259
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:09,140
Your idea was dumb, anyway.

260
00:14:09,150 --> 00:14:13,590
Chase, I need you to head back to that cesspool and get me the kid's puke.

261
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:17,680
Foreman, do an LP, and have Cameron run down that potty/party theory.

262
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:19,480
Why don't I just test him? 

263
00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:23,250
Let's not discuss this in front of the help.

264
00:14:28,540 --> 00:14:31,470
The amount of vomiting that kid did,

265
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,590
wouldn't be enough toxins left in this system to show up in his blood.

266
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,190
Since he vomited into the toilet here instead of on somebody,

267
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,030
that restaurant is our only source of essential vomit.

268
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,710
And you couldn't say that in front of Foreman? 

269
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:44,680
No, I couldn't say this in front of Foreman.

270
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:46,920
I need a refill.

271
00:14:46,930 --> 00:14:49,560
Detective Tritter knows about the scrips I wrote before.

272
00:14:49,570 --> 00:14:52,590
Exactly. If you stop now, it'll look suspicious.

273
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,940
- Does anyone fall for that argument? 
- Write the scrip.

274
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,670
No.

275
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,410
One prescription isn't gonna make you--

276
00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:02,930
We both know it’s not gonna be just one.

277
00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:06,430
I'd rather lose my job than lose my license.

278
00:15:13,270 --> 00:15:19,150
Daniel Silvers, prostate cancer, needs filgrastim, two-week supply.

279
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,600
Andrea Donavan, breast cancer, just needs her refill of her megestrol.

280
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:27,340
- You're not writing.
- You want me to write? 

281
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:28,550
Well, you could phone them in.

282
00:15:28,570 --> 00:15:32,630
But eventually, yeah, probably somebody's gonna want something written down.

283
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:35,950
- I haven't met these people.
- I have.

284
00:15:35,970 --> 00:15:39,290
- I've diagnosed them and everything.
- I know.

285
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:43,570
- I know, I'm not saying I don't trust you.
- Just my diagnosis.

286
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:45,090
These are gonna be my prescriptions, I--

287
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,300
They're my patients!

288
00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:48,490
- My prescriptions.
- My name!

289
00:15:50,270 --> 00:15:52,780
That Tritter will read on the scrip.

290
00:15:53,290 --> 00:15:57,130
He wants to make you miserable. You don't think he’s gonna ask questions? 

291
00:15:59,170 --> 00:16:02,840
Is there anything Jack does that no one else does? Any special duties? 

292
00:16:02,850 --> 00:16:05,030
No, we got lots of bussers.

293
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,200
What kind of cleaning products do you use? 

294
00:16:07,470 --> 00:16:10,420
Well, we got a bunch of kids running around sticking everything in their mouths.

295
00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:13,920
So we can't use anything toxic.

296
00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:17,280
That's it. Monday's trash.

297
00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:26,140
So there's no one who can maybe... help get the bags out? 

298
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:28,050
Sorry, short-handed.

299
00:16:28,390 --> 00:16:29,650
I can tip.

300
00:16:29,660 --> 00:16:33,090
I'm pretty sure Jack's puke is in the blue trash bag with the wrapped gifts.

301
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:36,600
But if you find spaghetti, that's the wrong vomit.

302
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,760
How much longer do I have to stay on this medication? 

303
00:16:47,770 --> 00:16:50,390
I mean, I'm nauseous all the time.

304
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,890
Maybe I should go back on the tamoxifen.

305
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,240
You're doing so much better on the anastrozole, Beth.

306
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,890
I'm reluctant to make a change.

307
00:16:56,890 --> 00:16:58,880
I can't play with my daughter.

308
00:16:58,890 --> 00:17:00,940
Or pick her up from school.

309
00:17:00,950 --> 00:17:02,540
I can barely get up and tuck her in at night.

310
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:04,560
There's got to be something else.

311
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:06,640
Who is she? 

312
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:08,900
Well, as you know, this is a teaching hospital.

313
00:17:09,490 --> 00:17:13,770
- She's a student? 
- No, I'm a doctor. I'm assisting Dr. Wilson today.

314
00:17:13,780 --> 00:17:15,920
Why, do you think he got my diagnosis wrong? 

315
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,320
- No, I'm sure--
- No, no.

316
00:17:18,330 --> 00:17:21,400
She's just consulting regarding my prescriptions.

317
00:17:21,410 --> 00:17:22,900
You think he got my meds wrong? 

318
00:17:22,910 --> 00:17:24,980
- No, it's just--
- No.

319
00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:27,020
Then why is she here? 

320
00:17:32,410 --> 00:17:33,960
What are you doing now? 

321
00:17:34,590 --> 00:17:37,420
I'm gonna get a sample of your brother's spinal fluid.

322
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,500
- Where's Will? 
- School.

323
00:17:42,380 --> 00:17:43,490
Is that gonna hurt? 

324
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:46,470
It's gonna help us figure out what's making him sick.

325
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,280
- Shouldn't you be in class too? 
- Teacher work day.

326
00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:50,790
For you, but not Will? 

327
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,490
Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either.

328
00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:57,850
Can I help? 

329
00:17:58,750 --> 00:18:01,260
Well, I guess it's quicker than calling a nurse.

330
00:18:01,270 --> 00:18:03,420
And a truant officer.

331
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,310
Here, grab his shins. Push his knees up towards his chest.

332
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,060
Now hold him there tight.

333
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,350
This all nurses do? 

334
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:18,050
My boss doesn't trust 'em to do anything else.

335
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:25,790
Is he gonna die? 

336
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,690
No. No one's gonna die.

337
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:33,850
In the whole world, ever? That's so great.

338
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:37,270
- Well, I meant--
- I know what you meant.

339
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:41,280
But I also know bad things do happen.

340
00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:45,940
My dad always had a few drinks when they went out.

341
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:48,310
Always said he’d be okay to drive.

342
00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:51,200
Until he wasn’t.

343
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,390
I would just like some warning this time.

344
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:06,630
We're nowhere near anything like that happening right now. Okay? 

345
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:11,780
Let's scoot him back over.

346
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:18,870
What was that?! What'd you do? 

347
00:19:19,390 --> 00:19:22,060
- You broke his rib? 
- Barely touched him.

348
00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:24,200
Which means--ow!

349
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:26,480
- Found it.
- Fix it.

350
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:29,990
Osteomyelitis. Means the infection's spread to his bones.

351
00:19:30,020 --> 00:19:34,650
Which means it's either bacterial or viral, and that--ow!

352
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:38,640
I hired you to take away the pain. Is there some confusion? 

353
00:19:38,650 --> 00:19:41,260
You ever thought about using your cane on the proper side? 

354
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:42,710
Yeah, that's the issue.

355
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,490
Friday night, my cane suddenly noticed it was on the wrong side.

356
00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:49,650
- Can you score me some vicodin? 
- No.

357
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:51,350
I did a needle aspiration to confirm which--

358
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,790
How long till the cultures--gaaah!

359
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,050
Why do you only do that when I'm talking? 

360
00:19:57,060 --> 00:19:58,920
You gotta rest your shoulder.

361
00:19:59,330 --> 00:20:02,870
And we're gonna get you on some different equipment.

362
00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:18,030
- Nice cane.
- If I know what you mean? 

363
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:21,280
- Chase, you can stop doing that.
- I'm almost finished.

364
00:20:21,290 --> 00:20:23,350
He's got osteomyelitis.

365
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,200
Means you're wrong about food-borne toxins.

366
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,640
And... you can stop too.

367
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:33,030
- Syphilis.
- You sure? 

368
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,270
Read the printout.

369
00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:40,540
He's also positive for eikenella.

370
00:20:45,250 --> 00:20:46,550
One of you two screwed up.

371
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,650
- No.
- Not a chance.

372
00:20:50,430 --> 00:20:53,670
Or this kid is a lot sicker than we thought.

373
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,480
Finish that test.

374
00:20:55,490 --> 00:20:58,650
It should be impossible to get two right answers to one question.

375
00:20:58,660 --> 00:21:00,770
Is it okay to have three? 

376
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:05,900
Apparently. He's positive for botulism too.

377
00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:11,980
So... We knock down one infection and three more pop up.

378
00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:14,100
I think this game is rigged.

379
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,810
Jack? Somebody help!

380
00:21:25,820 --> 00:21:28,410
We've managed to clear all three infections out of his system.

381
00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:30,550
But now he's having seizures every few hours.

382
00:21:30,550 --> 00:21:32,330
He's gotta be immuno-compromised.

383
00:21:32,330 --> 00:21:35,290
No, white count was normal, and he was negative for HIV.

384
00:21:35,310 --> 00:21:38,660
Well, if he's not immuno-compromised, why is he acting like he’s immuno-compromised? 

385
00:21:38,660 --> 00:21:39,690
What do the seizures tell us? 

386
00:21:39,710 --> 00:21:42,400
Nothing, there were no structural abnormalities on the CT,



387
00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:45,580
non-focal neuro-exam, no electrolyte imbalance, nothing.

388
00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:49,860
What do unexplained seizures and really sick 18-year-olds have in common? 

389
00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:51,860
You thinking trauma? 

390
00:21:51,860 --> 00:21:53,650
I'm thinking drugs.

391
00:21:53,650 --> 00:21:55,310
He's an admitted user.

392
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Drugs trashed his immune system.

393
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,140
Tox screen was clean.

394
00:21:59,150 --> 00:22:02,580
Clean tox screen means there’s no drugs in his blood or urine.

395
00:22:02,590 --> 00:22:06,790
There could still be drugs trapped in his fat cells from the good ol' days.

396
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,300
If they're in his fat, why would they be affecting him now? 

397
00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:13,260
A keen observer would notice that he's had some digestive issues lately.

398
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:18,380
His weight loss could have burned off fat cells and released the drugs back into his system.

399
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:21,600
There's no way to know. It's impossible to test fat cells for drugs.

400
00:22:21,610 --> 00:22:25,150
It's not impossible to make him lose more weight.

401
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,580
You want us to starve him so we can drive him into another seizure, and maybe a heart attack,

402
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:31,390
just so we can run another tox screen? 

403
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,050
That'd be cruel. Just sweat it out of him.

404
00:22:37,550 --> 00:22:40,780
I haven't touched a thing since the night my parents died.

405
00:22:41,450 --> 00:22:44,070
Drugs stay in your system a long time.

406
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:55,940
I was high... The night the cops came to tell us what happened.

407
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,590
You know the first thing I did when they told me? 

408
00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:05,520
I laughed.

409
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:10,350
I'm not the person I was when they died.

410
00:23:10,670 --> 00:23:13,000
I wish they could see that.

411
00:23:13,010 --> 00:23:16,930
Well, I'm sure they’re watching, and I'm sure they’re proud.

412
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:20,830
That's what Will's guidance counselor keeps telling him.

413
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,090
What do you tell him? 

414
00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:27,390
I tell him it's crap.

415
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,830
Our parents live on in our memories, but they don't live on.

416
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:42,170
- Jack? 
- Hold him still!

417
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:43,960
- Don't break his arm.
- We'll fix it.

418
00:23:43,970 --> 00:23:45,530
We need to get a sample.

419
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:52,160
House. Bad news.

420
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:53,720
Look at you.

421
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:58,010
Couldn't have sent Cameron down here to this air-conditioned hallway to deliver the bad news? 

422
00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:01,570
Jack seized again, but his blood was clean. Completely drug-free.

423
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:05,910
So he just happened to have a seizure at the exact time that we stuck him in a sauna? 

424
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,140
It's not a coincidence.

425
00:24:07,150 --> 00:24:10,650
He's still seizing every few hours, whether we stick him in a sauna or not.

426
00:24:10,660 --> 00:24:14,930
Oh, my god! Why are you using that? 

427
00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:17,610
I've had it for years.

428
00:24:17,630 --> 00:24:20,660
No, that's--that's gonna make your shoulder hurt.

429
00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:22,530
You need one of these.

430
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,010
He's a... doctor.

431
00:24:25,020 --> 00:24:28,080
- Is he still infection-free? 
- I'm sure not for long.

432
00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:31,790
My point being that something other than those infections caused these seizures.

433
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,390
That means there’s something in his head. Scan him.

434
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,550
- We scanned him.
- Well, that was then.

435
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,590
This is not then. Kid keeps changing. Scan him again.

436
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,450
Where is Cameron? 

437
00:24:40,130 --> 00:24:42,460
I'm not writing you a scrip for vicodin.

438
00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:44,960
I've only got two pills left.

439
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,250
Cut 'em in half. Then you'll have four.

440
00:24:47,270 --> 00:24:51,460
You're prescribing for Wilson. Wilson prescribes for me. Write up a scrip.

441
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:52,760
You know you have a problem.

442
00:24:52,780 --> 00:24:54,930
Yeah, it's got a badge and everything.

443
00:24:54,940 --> 00:24:57,610
- You're taking too much--
- Fine! You're right.

444
00:24:57,620 --> 00:24:58,920
What's the correct amount? 

445
00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:01,290
Write up a scrip for the correct amount.

446
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:03,670
No answer? 

447
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240
That's 'cause we're having the wrong debate.

448
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:09,490
This has got nothing to do with my problem and everything to do with you avoiding a problem.

449
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,410
You're afraid that if you write me a prescription, you're gonna wind up like Wilson.

450
00:25:12,420 --> 00:25:14,140
Of course I am.

451
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:20,220
Tritter wants to win by giving pain.

452
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:22,660
Do you really wanton be a part of that? 

453
00:25:22,670 --> 00:25:25,130
As a doctor, how do you do that? 

454
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:34,800
Here. This'll tide you over.

455
00:25:34,810 --> 00:25:38,540
If it can take the edge off my PMS, it should do wonders for you.

456
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,160
Why are you looking at my head again? 

457
00:25:46,290 --> 00:25:49,220
Seizures usually indicate something neurological.

458
00:25:49,230 --> 00:25:53,650
I'm not gonna get better. Am I? 

459
00:25:53,660 --> 00:25:56,260
We'll know more after the test.

460
00:25:57,550 --> 00:25:59,920
I've gotta find out who can take care of Will and Kama.

461
00:25:59,930 --> 00:26:02,670
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? 

462
00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:07,460
You'll be home, yelling at them and kicking their butts before you know it.

463
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:20,830
This kid might be facing a terminal disease, and he's more worried about his brother and sister.

464
00:26:20,850 --> 00:26:24,370
- Brain stem's clean.
- Nothing in the midbrain.

465
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:25,780
What's that? 

466
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,660
The frontal lobe, upper-right quadrant.

467
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:30,300
I don't see anything.

468
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,510
There.

469
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,930
It's tiny, but... I think it's a tumor.

470
00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:37,510
That size should be excisable.

471
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,080
- Why didn't we see it earlier? 
- Oh, god.

472
00:26:41,090 --> 00:26:44,680
Axial view, there's another one. Bring up the next slice.

473
00:26:48,210 --> 00:26:49,710
They're everywhere.

474
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:56,670
Jack's brain is riddled with tumors. You know what he's doing? 

475
00:26:56,670 --> 00:26:59,790
- Moaning? 
- Setting up play dates.

476
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,250
- Wow, what a guy! Theories? 
- The obvious one.

477
00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:05,680
Brain cancer destroyed his immune system. Left him wide open for these infections.

478
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,340
House... you're pathetic.

479
00:27:08,350 --> 00:27:11,700
You'll analyze anyone's faults, hypocrisies, weaknesses.

480
00:27:11,710 --> 00:27:16,080
But this kid's got some strength, and all of a sudden there's no time to talk about anything but the medicine.

481
00:27:16,090 --> 00:27:20,290
He's teaching prepubescent kids that truth matters, god doesn't, and life sucks.

482
00:27:20,290 --> 00:27:22,240
I like him. Treatment? 

483
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:23,990
We need to start him on radiation.

484
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:26,270
And destroy whatever's left of his immune system.

485
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,210
And safe his life!

486
00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:30,800
I know the notion of self-sacrifice is foreign to you.

487
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:34,560
You wanna think that he’s sacrificing himself because if one person can do it,

488
00:27:34,590 --> 00:27:38,420
then maybe the world isn’t the cold, selfish place you know that it is.

489
00:27:38,430 --> 00:27:41,160
Radiation could kill him. Alternatives? 

490
00:27:38,430 --> 00:27:39,460

491
00:27:41,170 --> 00:27:43,430
There aren't any. We saw the tumors.

492
00:27:43,450 --> 00:27:46,080
We could choose to say they aren't tumors.

493
00:27:46,090 --> 00:27:47,450
They're just pus.

494
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:49,440
Which would explain why they weren't there yesterday.

495
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,710
It can't be an infection.

496
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,880
- He got IVIG, broad spectrum antibiotics--
- Exactly.

497
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:56,240
It creates a perfect world for fungus.

498
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,680
Moves in, gets married, has little fungi.

499
00:27:58,690 --> 00:28:02,450
If you're wrong about the fungus, you're wasting what little time he has left.

500
00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:05,830
Not a big sacrifice. His life sucks.

501
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,640
So let's be right. Go stick a needle in the kid's head.

502
00:28:09,660 --> 00:28:11,960
If you suck out a liquid, then I'm right, and we haven’t answered anything.

503
00:28:11,970 --> 00:28:16,260
If you suck out a solid, you're right, and no more worrying about play dates.

504
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,850
Okay, fine. I'll father your child.

505
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:27,440
First, you gotta write me a vicodin prescription.

506
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:30,630
- Just so I can get through the foreplay.
- How many days you have left? 

507
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,300
Ah, I could probably get through maybe... next minute or so.

508
00:28:33,310 --> 00:28:38,030
And your coming to me means your lackeys actually stood up to you-- I'm impressed.

509
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,020
- Yes, their cowardice is inspiring.
- Well, you should be thanking them.

510
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:47,470
If they caved, it'd give the cops evidence that you intimidated underlings to feed your addiction.

511
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,290
I hate writing thank-you notes.

512
00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:51,870
Would it be weird if I asked Cameron to write them? 

513
00:28:52,210 --> 00:28:53,250
You're hooking me up? 

514
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:57,850
Unfortunately, if I cut you off, it'd give the cops evidence that you don't really need the pain meds.

515
00:28:57,860 --> 00:29:02,250
I knew that cleavage was a smoke screen. You're a genius.

516
00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:06,850
- You can't lift your arm.
- You can't pee standing up. Gimme.

517
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:09,530
You been doing physio? Maybe you pulled--

518
00:29:09,550 --> 00:29:12,410
Yeah, been training for pants off dance off. Gimme the scrip.

519
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:14,910
Your shoulder problem isn’t physical.

520
00:29:14,910 --> 00:29:16,960
Well, we'll find out if you ever give me the--

521
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:18,830
What's new? What's different? 

522
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,650
Any big changes in your life recently? A fight with the wife, maybe? 

523
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:26,640
It's good. Means your shoulder's a human being.

524
00:29:26,650 --> 00:29:28,370
It's a start.

525
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,400
- I'm right, right? 
- Yeah. Just not about me.

526
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:47,040
I was right, right? 

527
00:29:47,050 --> 00:29:49,950
They were abscesses from a fungal infection. Aspergillus.

528
00:29:49,970 --> 00:29:51,860
But we still have no idea why.

529
00:29:51,870 --> 00:29:54,920
Our kid's immune system has a factory defect.

530
00:29:54,930 --> 00:29:57,100
- It's genetic.
- It can't be genetic.

531
00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:59,020
He would have been getting infections since he was an infant.

532
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,560
Not if he grew up in a bubble.

533
00:30:00,570 --> 00:30:03,540
Or if he grew up on Mars. No germs there, either.

534
00:30:03,550 --> 00:30:05,570
I don't mean a literal bubble.

535
00:30:05,580 --> 00:30:08,960
A sweet, suburban bubble where mommies and daddies protect their children.

536
00:30:08,970 --> 00:30:11,020
They die, bubble bursts.

537
00:30:11,030 --> 00:30:15,590
Continuing emotional trauma triggers a genetic illness. Question is, which one? 

538
00:30:15,610 --> 00:30:19,020
The infections he's contracted narrow down the possibilities.

539
00:30:19,030 --> 00:30:22,200
Hep a indicates a problem with his b cells.

540
00:30:22,210 --> 00:30:24,770
- Bruton's agammaglobulinemia? 
- Eikenella.

541
00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:27,060
So a complement deficiency.

542
00:30:28,210 --> 00:30:31,300
- I have a patient. I need--
- Not now!

543
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:33,390
- I'll go.
- You'll stay.

544
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,530
- Patient's dying.
- So is mine.

545
00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:37,610
Not in the next hour.

546
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:40,180
What does the syphilis tell us? 

547
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,990
What does it tell us? 

548
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,750
It could mean chronic granulomatous disease.

549
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,670
And the aspergillus is a t-cell issue. Common variable immunodeficiency.

550
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:54,750
Genetic testing's gonna take time.

551
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,410
Given the rate he's picking up infections--

552
00:30:56,430 --> 00:30:57,630
Why don't we turn it into a race? 

553
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Little late to belaying games with us.

554
00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:01,420
Not you guys. The infections.

555
00:31:01,430 --> 00:31:03,690
What infections? 

556
00:31:04,090 --> 00:31:06,480
The infections we’re gonna give him.

557
00:31:07,690 --> 00:31:10,510
The only way to cure me is to make me sicker? 

558
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:17,110
Each of the four possible genetic conditions is most susceptible to different types of infection.

559
00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:18,850
What's that? 

560
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:24,590
This is a cocktail of serratia, meningococcus, cepacia, and rhinovirus.

561
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:30,360
Whichever germ gains the most ground plants the flag of its leader, gives us our answer.

562
00:31:30,370 --> 00:31:33,470
How are you gonna know which one gains the most ground? 

563
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,550
Well, now, that's the fun part.

564
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,520
See, if the meningococcus is king of the hill, you get to have another seizure.

565
00:31:39,530 --> 00:31:41,520
The serratia will shut down your lungs.

566
00:31:41,530 --> 00:31:43,680
If it's cepacia, you'll have a heart attack.

567
00:31:43,690 --> 00:31:47,140
If it's the rhinovirus, you'll sneeze.

568
00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:50,940
Can't all be dramatic. We good? 

569
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:54,470
- Hell, no.
- Well, the alternative is we guess.

570
00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:00,300
And there's a three out of four chance that your little brother and sister will get to cry over another coffin.

571
00:32:00,310 --> 00:32:04,760
Did you study fractions in school? We good? 

572
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:21,240
this test isn’t exactly FDA approved.

573
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:24,460
So let's just keep it our little secret, okay? 

574
00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:30,790
Little orphan Annie and Oliver Twist slept in our hallways last night.

575
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:31,990
Are they singing? 

576
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,540
They're children. They need a guardian.

577
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,440
Couldn't find a babysitter.

578
00:33:36,450 --> 00:33:39,890
On account of not being able to make any phone calls on account of not being able to breathe,

579
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:42,430
on account of his lungs filling up with serratia.

580
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,080
He has chronic granulomatous disease.

581
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:47,030
Game over. Our work is done.

582
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,620
Then he's gonna keep getting sick. You gotta call social services.

583
00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:53,640
Bone marrow transplant would reboot his whole immune system.

584
00:33:53,650 --> 00:33:56,360
He'll be healthy enough to win miserable daddy of the year.

585
00:33:56,370 --> 00:33:58,150
So see if one of his kids is a match.

586
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,540
My kids are already testing his kids.

587
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:06,120
- Will's a match.
- You tested him? 

588
00:34:06,130 --> 00:34:09,160
- I never consented--
- It's just a blood draw. There's no danger.

589
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:10,650
To the testing. What about the surgery? 

590
00:34:10,660 --> 00:34:13,590
The risk for Will? It's next to nothing.

591
00:34:17,390 --> 00:34:21,190
What if I don't do it? What are my other options? 

592
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:26,840
Your immune system can’t fight off the germs we all come into contact with every day.

593
00:34:26,850 --> 00:34:30,040
Now that we know, we can use more targeted medications.

594
00:34:30,050 --> 00:34:34,790
But... you'll still get sick all the time.

595
00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:38,440
- You'll be in and out of hospitals--
- But I'll live.

596
00:34:43,590 --> 00:34:45,260
Jack...

597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:50,910
Your lifespan will be substantially shortened.

598
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,930
And you'll be too sick to care for your brother and sister anymore.

599
00:34:54,940 --> 00:34:56,190
You shouldn't have pressured him into--

600
00:34:56,210 --> 00:34:58,900
- There's no pressure.
- He's eight years old!

601
00:34:58,910 --> 00:35:01,830
You tell him his brother’s dying unless he helps, what do you think he's gonna do? 

602
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,460
- He wants to help you.
- He has no idea.

603
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:09,390
It's like you asked him to let me play with one of his toys.

604
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,310
This is surgery. He could die.

605
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,320
He'll be fine. But you...

606
00:35:16,330 --> 00:35:20,820
You're gonna have a hard time protecting him like this if you're dead.

607
00:35:23,470 --> 00:35:26,240
I'll do it.

608
00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:30,590
When Will's 18, and can decide for himself.

609
00:35:37,070 --> 00:35:40,870
- Noble.
- Moronic.

610
00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:43,330
It's a synonym.

611
00:35:43,340 --> 00:35:46,290
Why can't you accept he wants to protect his brother? 

612
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:48,870
Has to protect his brother. He doesn't want to.

613
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,290
He wants to run screaming from protecting his brother.

614
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:55,100
You're a hypocrite.

615
00:35:56,990 --> 00:36:02,480
Evidence is everything. Truth is all that matters.

616
00:36:02,490 --> 00:36:05,810
Except when it comes to people.

617
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:09,490
Everything we've learned about this kid says you're wrong.

618
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,510
But you can't accept that.

619
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,260
It's easy to reject the diagnosis.

620
00:36:14,270 --> 00:36:17,300
Not so easy to reject your misanthropy.

621
00:36:17,310 --> 00:36:20,900
Because then you'd have to give people a fighting chance.

622
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:25,150
And that... scares the crap out of you.

623
00:36:26,050 --> 00:36:27,710
Okay.

624
00:36:29,790 --> 00:36:32,390
Let's get some evidence.

625
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,670
It's your lucky day.

626
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,340
I just found another donor in the registry. A perfect match.

627
00:36:43,350 --> 00:36:46,020
We can do the transplant, no danger to the rugrat.

628
00:36:46,030 --> 00:36:48,670
You just have to sign here.

629
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,630
Unless there's another reason you don't want it.

630
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,040
- There's a chance I'd die.
- A chance you'll be cured.

631
00:36:58,060 --> 00:37:00,650
Maybe you don't want that, either.

632
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,990
Maybe hanging out in a hospital and getting waited on hand and foot

633
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,230
reminds you of what life used to be like before you were forced to play Mr. Mom.

634
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,990
I don't like being sick.

635
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,690
But you don't want to be healthy either.

636
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:16,890
This is your way out. Guilt-free.

637
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:19,700
I said I'd do it when Will's 18.

638
00:37:19,710 --> 00:37:23,570
When he's able to take care to himself. Without you.

639
00:37:23,580 --> 00:37:27,260
Jack... your brother and sister need you.

640
00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:30,270
I know! I know every second of every day that they need me.

641
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,940
But I'm too young to be their dad!

642
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,490
Good for you.

643
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:52,630
Don't pretend you’re surprised.

644
00:38:06,700 --> 00:38:09,540
Wanna go throw stuff at people off the balcony? 

645
00:38:11,450 --> 00:38:14,080
Come on. Mail can wait.

646
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,740
I'm referring my patients to other oncologists. I'm shutting down my practice.

647
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:20,650
Oh, good! 'Cause I was afraid you might overreact.

648
00:38:20,660 --> 00:38:25,130
I can't just ask my patients to wait because Dr. Cameron's boss won’t let her come out and play!

649
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:28,570
- I kept you waiting for maybe an hour.
- Three hours!

650
00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:31,380
- Did anybody die? 
- Not this time.

651
00:38:31,390 --> 00:38:34,520
Cameron's available now. Use her all you want.

652
00:38:34,530 --> 00:38:37,330
Oh, so now's a better time for me to have my life taken away? 

653
00:38:37,330 --> 00:38:40,360
- It fits into your schedule better? 
- Oh, poor you.

654
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,320
- You think if you suffer loudly enough--
- You committed a crime!

655
00:38:43,330 --> 00:38:44,980
What do you want me to do, turn myself in? 

656
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:48,400
Yes! Yes! Do something! Go in! Show some remorse!

657
00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:49,920
Tell Tritter you'll get some help!

658
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,490
I don't need help!

659
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,790
House, get out of here. Get out of here.

660
00:38:58,810 --> 00:39:03,520
You are not gonna make me feel guilty about what Tritter is doing... To us.

661
00:39:04,510 --> 00:39:06,330
You already feel guilty.

662
00:39:06,340 --> 00:39:09,890
Your mysterious shoulder pain isn't coming from your cane.

663
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:12,650
It's coming from your conscience.

664
00:39:12,670 --> 00:39:15,170
That used to be enough.

665
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:18,010
Despite all your smart-ass remarks, I knew you gave a damn.

666
00:39:18,020 --> 00:39:20,950
This time...

667
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,080
You were either gonna help me through this, or you weren't.

668
00:39:25,090 --> 00:39:27,980
I got my answer.

669
00:39:41,870 --> 00:39:47,170
Who's gonna drive me to school? Help me with my homework? 

670
00:39:47,180 --> 00:39:50,520
There'll be a mom where they take you.

671
00:39:50,530 --> 00:39:55,270
A real mom. Someone who can cook.

672
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,250
Don't worry. I'll still be able to see you guys.

673
00:40:46,930 --> 00:40:52,410
- You said you’d make him better.
- I'm sorry.

674
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:07,630
Thank you for not telling them.

675
00:41:07,650 --> 00:41:10,750
You're a good kid.

676
00:41:10,770 --> 00:41:16,050
Three months from now... six months from now...

677
00:41:16,070 --> 00:41:20,610
You'll be visiting them. And you won't be able to say good-bye.

678
00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:23,640
You're gonna know you screwed up.

679
00:41:24,050 --> 00:41:28,940
You'll take his bone marrow. And you’ll take them back.

680
00:41:29,350 --> 00:41:33,790
And they'll be a burden and a pain.

681
00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:38,270
And your life will... never be what it was supposed to be.

682
00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:41,780
But you'll be proud of yourself.

683
00:41:42,930 --> 00:41:47,740
Your parents... they'll be proud of you.

684
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:53,860
I don't think so.

685
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,680
It's what I wanna believe.
