1
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:26,200
One. Don't tense up now. Go with him.

2
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,300
Two. That's it. Stay in rhythm.

3
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,600
Three. What are you doing, Lane?

4
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,700
You're tipping in.

5
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Four. What's your problem?

6
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,300
Get your ass down. Get back in the middle.

7
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:51,100
Five. You're weak.

8
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,200
You got all kinds of daylight under you.

9
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Six. Damn, Lane, you should be schooling this bull.

10
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,900
Seven. Get up, set your hips before the kick comes down.

11
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,400
Nice recovery.

12
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,600
Now just wait till he turns back away from your hand.

13
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,400
What the hell just happened?

14
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,000
I was about to ask you the same thing.

15
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,600
www.gwedynn.com

16
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:12,500
I'm fine.

17
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:15,600
Okay.

18
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:17,900
I assume Cuddy told you that she dumped me.

19
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,300
- She did. 
- And that I'm back on Vicodin.

20
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,700
She told me you had taken a Vicodin.

21
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,500
And then I took a lot more.

22
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,300
And so on.

23
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:31,800
But you're fine? 

24
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,700
Well, I'm not fine as in "fine," but I'm fine as in "you don't have to worry about me."

25
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,300
Because you cleared out your bank account, checked into a hotel, and started back on Vicodin?

26
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,100
Because I'm going to be fine as in "fine" very soon.

27
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,700
Until that happens, are you sure Vicodin is the...

28
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:47,700
My leg hurts.

29
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:50,100
You've been able to handle the pain.

30
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,500
- It's gotten worse. 
- Not physically worse.

31
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,100
Worse is worse. Pain doesn't discriminate.

32
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:56,200
Neither do the pills.

33
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,800
The Vicodin and the five-star pampering

34
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000
that I'm gonna get over the next few days should be enough to get me through it.

35
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,800
So you don't want to just avoid the issue.

36
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,900
You want to avoid avoiding the issue. Sorry.

37
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,500
Nothing is either as bad or as good as we think it is at the time.

38
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,800
That's why TO mocks his opponents immediately after scoring.

39
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,000
He doesn't wait till his friend shows up the next day to tell him to deal with it. Two weeks from now,

40
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,100
maybe a little more, maybe a little less, my life will be back to its usual level of crappiness.

41
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,600
Till then, the only real issue is how much I'm gonna spend on hotel charges.

42
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Good morning, sir.

43
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,900
I've got your deluxe breakfast for two.

44
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,100
- Do I have to count the strawberries? 
- Don't worry.

45
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,300
You can trust me with anything. Including your food.

46
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,900
After he and I have sex, I'm gonna slit his throat and then disembowel him in the bathtub.

47
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,500
Oh, no problem. I'll cancel the morning maid service.

48
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,100
Would you like me to have them clean up later when they come to turn down your bed?

49
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,600
- Why didn't I meet you six months ago? 
- Thank you very much.

50
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,800
And if there's anything else I can do to make your stay here more enjoyable, just ring the concierge and ask for Carnell.

51
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Eat fast.

52
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,600
We're expecting company.

53
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,500
Okay. This might not be such a bad idea.

54
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,400
What do you think he meant by "anything"?

55
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,700
Take some time for yourself. Relax.

56
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,100
I know it's a figure of speech, but he really did seem to underline the "anything."

57
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:32,200
- Maybe talk to someone? 
- Already scheduled.

58
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,900
- Really? 
- I'm not an idiot.

59
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,300
I know I need help.

60
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,500
Okay. That's... great.

61
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,300
I meant, like, a counselor.

62
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:51,600
- I know. 
- But you meant a hooker.

63
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Yeah. Baby steps.

64
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,000
House screwed us.

65
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,700
Ten years of doctors cobbling him back together.

66
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:06,600
Metal rods in every limb. Pins stabilizing his spine.

67
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,900
Five screws and a titanium plate in his skull.

68
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,200
Can't do MRIs. X-rays are probably gonna be useless as well.

69
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,400
Every piece of metal is gonna obscure something.

70
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,900
And House isn't sick.

71
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:19,000
- Why would you say that? 
- Cuddy dumped House.

72
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,800
He's out somewhere expecting us to indulge him while he ignores his job and licks his wounds.

73
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:24,900
Cuddy dumped him?

74
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:27,200
Don't do that. Don't get sucked in.

75
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,600
He loves her. What?

76
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,300
You can't feel bad for him for five minutes?

77
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,600
I can feel bad for him while still expecting him

78
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,600
to act like an adult, show up for work, and not go on a booze, Vicodin, and hooker-filled bender.

79
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Which is why for now we're gonna handle the case without him.

80
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,600
Oh, is that the reason?

81
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,500
I thought it was because you can't pass up any chance to seize control.

82
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:46,100
I said "we." You want "pretty please" too?

83
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,700
Wait. I understand the booze and the hookers, but why Vicodin?

84
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Wow, you really don't have any friends in here, do you?

85
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
House is a Vicodin addict.

86
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,800
- He's been clean for two years. 
- He's used here at work?

87
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,700
Yes, that is very troubling.

88
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:05,700
Almost as much as the fact that our patient has a ruptured diaphragm,

89
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,900
cracked sternum, broken nose, and partial hearing loss, which can be explained by a bull jumping on him.

90
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:14,500
And a neurological disorder, low-grade fever, nausea, and peripheral muscle weakness that can't.

91
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,700
What if the hearing loss wasn't caused by the bull?

92
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,200
That's just when he noticed it?

93
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Inner-ear pathology can affect the equilibrium and cause disorientation, making it appear to be a neurological disorder.

94
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,900
So how do we confirm?

95
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,100
CT is just gonna show us the plate and screws holding his skull together.

96
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,300
We can do calorics and an ENG.

97
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,600
If he has inner-ear damage, it'll affect his balance.

98
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Sounds good. Go ahead.

99
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,500
Go ahead? Really?

100
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,400
What if one of us disagrees?

101
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:47,100
I happen to agree with Foreman. Go do it.

102
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,200
- You knew he was an addict before you got involved. 
- Didn't end the relationship--

103
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,200
- You knew he was an ass-- 
- I didn't end it--

104
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,800
- You told him you did not want him to change. 
- And I was wrong.

105
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,000
You don't know that.

106
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,400
You thought you were gonna die.

107
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Do you really think that was the right time to make this kind of decision?

108
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,200
No. But I've thought about it.

109
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:10,500
A lot.

110
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,900
And I haven't changed my mind.

111
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,300
He thought you were gonna die.

112
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Nobody knows the right way to react in that situation.

113
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,900
Just give him another chance.

114
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,000
He deserves it.

115
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,600
I know.

116
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,900
But this isn't about what he deserves.

117
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,500
When things go wrong, I don't want to hope that I'm not alone.

118
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,500
I want to know it. With House...

119
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Every time I needed him to step up...

120
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:52,200
He's just never gonna be that.

121
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,500
It's not his fault. It's who he is.

122
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:55,600
I should have known it.

123
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:57,900
This is my fault.

124
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:08,100
Well, he's back on Vicodin.

125
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,000
So you might want to...

126
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:13,000
Keep an eye on his new patient.

127
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,300
ENG was normal. Means his inner ear isn't--

128
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,200
Morons.

129
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,300
- It wasn't-- 
- Whoa. Wait a second.

130
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:25,700
The acoustics in here are beautiful.

131
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Morons!

132
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,800
- You say it. 
- Morons.

133
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,900
- Who was that? 
- Something Carnell got me.

134
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,300
It wasn't that ridiculous of a theory.

135
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:39,700
Great theory. It's a ridiculous test.

136
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:43,700
You can't give a standard balance test to a champion bull rider.

137
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:47,000
If you're gonna test Superman's strength, you need a bigger barbell.

138
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,400
Find one, make him lift it, then call me and tell me how high it got.

139
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,400
And tell Cuddy that spying is for cowards.

140
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,300
Just keep me posted.

141
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:01,500
- I will. 
- I will.

142
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,400
You said my inner ear was fine.

143
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Previous test was for regular people. You were banged up pretty bad in the accident.

144
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600
- But given your athletic ability... 
- It wasn't no accident.

145
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,300
That bull had malice and forethought.

146
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:17,500
Uh, you mean aforethought.

147
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,300
Whatever. He was pissed.

148
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:21,300
- Can you blame him? 
- Not at all.

149
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,900
If he don't do what he gets paid for, I don't get to do what I get paid for.

150
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:26,900
You ever think of getting paid for doing something else?

151
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:28,400
You're running out of bones to break.

152
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,100
You ever think of doing something you don't love?

153
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,900
It has its downside, but everything does.

154
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:37,400
There ain't nothing like those eight seconds.

155
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,100
Traveling around, getting to meet the fans, that ain't so bad either, if you know what I mean.

156
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,700
All right, now what?

157
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,600
We're gonna start rocking the platform and changing your visual field while you balance on just your right leg.

158
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Here you go, Lane.

159
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,800
I'm gonna start slow.

160
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:59,600
- If you start to experience any nausea or disorientation, just let us know and we'll stop the test. 
- You got it.

161
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:14,900
That is amazing.

162
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:19,900
We can stop.

163
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,400
There's obviously nothing wrong with his inner ear.

164
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Now what?

165
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:31,700
And I direct that question not to my boss, but to anyone who has an answer.

166
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,100
If it's not in his ear, it's got to be his brain.

167
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,400
But if we can't get any images, then how do we--

168
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,400
You guys got some rusty pipes. This water's brown.

169
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,300
That's not from the pipes.

170
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,300
It's from your mouth.

171
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Can you pass me the, um...

172
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:09,000
What took you so long?

173
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,700
There's nothing wrong with his ears, but he's got blood in his sputum. 

174
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:14,600
- Doesn't answer the question.
- We weren't avoiding you.

175
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,300
It took us a little time to think up a diagnostic test no one's ever thought up before.

176
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,800
- Apology accepted. 
- It could be a tumor in a salivary gland.

177
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,900
- We should get a parotid biopsy. 
- Oh, that's so cute.

178
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:26,900
You're fighting over who's in charge.

179
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,600
GI bleed's more likely to explain the nausea and weakness.

180
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,400
Who's in charge?

181
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,400
- House, as long as you're not here, someone has to have the final-- 
- Let me rephrase.

182
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,400
- Who's your daddy? 
- Let me rephrase.

183
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,400
You have to decide if you're gonna buck up, get out of bed, and do your job, or if you're gonna wallow in self-pity.

184
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,800
Those my only two choices?

185
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Or can I also point out the self-pity coming from you?

186
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,500
You're just annoyed because when your relationship ended, no one gave a crap, including you.

187
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:53,500
That is not true in so many ways.

188
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,000
And, Chase, stop screwing with Foreman.

189
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,300
And, Foreman, no. Till the telephone gets uninvented, no one in that room needs more authority than I give them,

190
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:05,600
and right now I give you the authority to scope his GI tract and biopsy his parotid.

191
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,200
And you can pick up the phone.

192
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Wait, House, should we be more worried about you?

193
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:12,200
Are you on Vicodin?

194
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Because if you are, you probably shouldn't be ordering procedures.

195
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,600
I am not on Vicodin. Do the tests.

196
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I have to see a man about a hurdy-gurdy.

197
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,900
You really think House isn't using Vicodin?

198
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:34,700
Does it actually worry you?

199
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,400
If he's self-prescribing meds, that could affect his judgment.

200
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,500
- And does that worry you? 
- Are you being sarcastic?

201
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,000
If his rule-breaking is affecting his judgment, then you can step in and you can worry,

202
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,500
but if he's just coming up with ideas that we haven't thought of but we should have, then our job is to shut up and do it.

203
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,300
And what do you see in this guy?

204
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:57,300
What? Who?

205
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,500
Oh. You think I'm attracted to our patient?

206
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:03,400
Right.

207
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,400
It's against the rules, so you wouldn't do it.

208
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,000
He's a macho half-wit.

209
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,300
You have every reason to not be attracted to him, which is why I ask the question.

210
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:15,600
Why are you attracted to him?

211
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,900
- Stop it.
- I'm just...

212
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:18,500
- No, no, no. Take out the scope.
- But I don't see--

213
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,100
Not the monitor. Look at his eyes.

214
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,100
Sclerae turned yellow. Did X-rays.

215
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:31,500
Looks like there's a mass in his liver, but the conductive metal rod in his ribs is blocking it.

216
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:36,800
Making it, as they say, as tough to find as a hooker who can play the hurdy-gurdy.

217
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:39,600
- If you have a point, can you please-- 
- It's an expression.

218
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,500
- Means it's tough, but apparently it can be done. 
- If we don't have any equipment...

219
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,000
- You have eyes. 
- Not that see through stuff.

220
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,400
- Obviously. 
- You want us to cut him open?

221
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,100
Only if you want to see what's wrong with him.

222
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Do you know Free Bird?

223
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,300
- Do you see what I see? 
- No.

224
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:10,700
Exactly.

225
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,400
More suction.

226
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,700
That's impossible.

227
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,500
I definitely saw a mass on the X-rays.

228
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,600
It's gone now.

229
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,400
It's a mass...

230
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,800
And then it's not.

231
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,300
You, uh, gonna introduce us?

232
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,400
Team, meet Duke.

233
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:39,600
Anke.

234
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,700
Anke? How'd I get Duke?

235
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,600
House, how many prostitutes have you had?

236
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,700
As in eaten?

237
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:48,800
Ever? This year?

238
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:51,500
Slept with. Since you've been here.

239
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:52,700
All but one.

240
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:54,400
She did my taxes.

241
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,000
On the other hand, tapeworm that burrowed outside his intestinal...

242
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,300
We would have seen eggs on a fecal smear or systemic eosinophilia.

243
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:04,500
Detached cyst?

244
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,500
Couldn't migrate that far in one hour.

245
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:09,800
We haven't been sitting on our hands just waiting for your brilliance to kick in.

246
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,700
Okay, so how did you shoot down intermittently swollen lymph node?

247
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,900
That would mean it's some kind of an infection, which would mean we'd have to do a spinal tap.

248
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:26,200
But with his recent skull fractures, it could be an increased ICP.

249
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,400
His brain could herniate.

250
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:31,100
- What about a ventricular puncture? 
- Sounds good.

251
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:36,900
You think sticking a needle directly into his brain would be less dangerous than sticking it in his spine? 

252
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:38,400
It's probably a push.

253
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:42,800
I'm just trying to get you out of here, because underneath this sheet, stuff is going on.

254
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,500
Just pick a spot and stick a needle in it.

255
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:54,100
You want to drill through my skull because of a mass that's not there?

256
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:57,000
It was there, which means something is wrong.

257
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
We need to find it.

258
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,600
Is there anybody you'd like us to call?

259
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,100
Someone that you'd like to be here with you?

260
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:07,100
- Maybe a wife or girlfriend? 
- No, my family's all back in Oklahoma.

261
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:10,600
And the guys on the circuit are in Calgary at the next rodeo.

262
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Ah, that's too bad.

263
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,100
It's nice to have somebody nearby you can talk to who cares.

264
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:21,800
You okay?

265
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,100
You just sang, "it's good to have somebody near by to talk to who cares."

266
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:30,200
Okay, fine. I like him. So what?

267
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,000
No kidding. I just can't figure out why.

268
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,100
Yeah. Neither can I.

269
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:38,300
Looks clear.

270
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:39,900
Nothing is suggesting inflammation.

271
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:43,500
Something's wrong.

272
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,500
O-2 stats are plummeting. We need to intubate.

273
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:46,400
Drop the table.

274
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,700
- I can't get it in. 
- The airway's blocked. Get the trach kit.

275
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:16,600
O-2 are going back up.

276
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,200
- What's that smell? 
- Did he defecate?

277
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,400
- Doesn't look like it. 
- I think it's his feet.

278
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,900
Oh, man.

279
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,900
It's definitely his feet.

280
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Please don't.

281
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
That is a nice bow.

282
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:49,900
- That was a nice door. 
- Put it on my tab.

283
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Let's say we take it up a notch.

284
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,600
Yeah, right. Very funny.

285
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,900
You don't trust me?

286
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,300
- No. 
- I'll do it.

287
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,300
- And we have a gamer. 
- Oh, come on, man.

288
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,000
- You can't be serious. 
- Why not?

289
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,400
Anything goes wrong, we just take her to the doctor.

290
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:11,800
And I'm only eight paces away.

291
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:13,500
- House--
- I like you, Carnell.

292
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:14,800
Don't ruin it.

293
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,400
Stinky feet can point to diabetes, athlete's foot, or gangrene--pick one.

294
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000
- No! 
- Uh, none.

295
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
None of those cause bloody sputum or disappearing masses.

296
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
No. No. No. No.

297
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,300
- You're gonna kill her. 
- Don't do that, Carnell.

298
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:35,600
They might get the idea that I'm shooting at a hooker.

299
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,300
Fungal infection can cause ulceration between the toes

300
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,400
and bleeding could be from recurring abscesses that appear to be recurring masses.

301
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Symptoms in the head or feet mean the infection would have to be in the heart or the brain.

302
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,800
I say we start by looking in the heart, because looking at his brain with a metal plate is problematic.

303
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,000
So's MRIing his heart.

304
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,300
He's got a seven-centimeter conductive metal rod holding his rib together. It'll rip him in two.

305
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:07,900
No, it'll just feel like it's ripping him in two, which is much better.

306
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:11,500
We could minimize the damage by injecting ice water into his abdominal cavity.

307
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,100
No. Please, no.

308
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:23,700
Oh, God!

309
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Oops.

310
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:26,600
Got to go.

311
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,700
- Call an ambulance! 
- Why?

312
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,600
What do you mean why? She's hurt!

313
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,600
She doesn't look hurt.

314
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,700
- No, you didn't. 
- Yes, we did.

315
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,600
You're an ass.

316
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Okay. Go get me, uh, General Patton's Colt 45.

317
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:57,100
- The one with the two notches. 
- He's not getting you a gun.

318
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,600
Your friend knows how to have a good time.

319
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,700
The MRI magnets are gonna heat the metal.

320
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:11,300
Could get to over 300 degrees in 15 seconds.

321
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:15,000
Which is why we're injecting ice water into your abdominal cavity.

322
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,800
You'll feel colder than you've ever felt, and then you'll be hotter--

323
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,400
Um, you'll feel hotter than you've ever felt.

324
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,600
We'll try to be as quick as possible.

325
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:33,300
Shut up.

326
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
- It's interesting. 
- No, it's not.

327
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,200
It's mundane and simple.

328
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,300
He's obviously a very blessed specimen,

329
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:55,000
so from an evolutionary point of view, he'd produce healthy offspring,

330
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,500
so my prefrontal cortex is telling me I should have sex with him.

331
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:01,200
- Oh. Is that all?
- Yes.

332
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,700
My rational brain knows he's a hillbilly and an idiot.

333
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:08,500
And yet somehow your rational brain is losing the argument, which is interesting.

334
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,300
You were bored.

335
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,600
You must have spent about two days setting up a fake murder, and you were bored.

336
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
- I'm fine. 
- You're not.

337
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,100
And I'm worried you might do something even stupider.

338
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,100
Why don't you move back in with me? At least until you get back on track.

339
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,200
What an ego.

340
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,500
You think you're some sort of emotional paragon? You're my rock?

341
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:39,600
- I'm trying to be a friend. 
- At least I have the good sense not to marry every woman I fall into bed with.

342
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:42,400
Maybe you should move in with me.

343
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,100
Either way. If you prefer...

344
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,200
I prefer you to stop talking about this.

345
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,200
House, we haven't even started talking about this except to establish the fact that you are fine, which clearly you aren't.

346
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,500
Leave me alone!

347
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:58,200
No.

348
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
We are gonna talk about this, and we're gonna deal with this.

349
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,100
So I have no choice?

350
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,400
Fine.

351
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:12,200
Unless...

352
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,500
Unless... yes, I do.

353
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:17,900
I do have legs.

354
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,900
I see you didn't factor those into your brilliant plan.

355
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,600
- Lane, can you try to hold still? 
- I'm trying.

356
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,400
Real hard.

357
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,200
Guy is tough. I'll give him that.

358
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,800
My prefrontal cortex is a little aroused.

359
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,700
Just get the damn picture. Rib temp is at 158.

360
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:53,800
I don't have a clear view of his aorta yet.

361
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,200
This isn't gonna work. We have to stop.

362
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,800
No. You're trying to protect him instead of trying to save him.

363
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,300
He's smoking. Literally, you ass.

364
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,700
Five more seconds.

365
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:07,000
No, getting a good image isn't gonna mean anything if he doesn't have a rib cage.

366
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:09,900
Got it.

367
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:28,700
The images, they're normal.

368
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,900
You're gonna have to talk to him eventually.

369
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:53,300
He needs you.

370
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:58,300
I love him.

371
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,200
And I know he loves me.

372
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,700
- But I just can't... 
- He needs you in his life.

373
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,300
Even if you're not sleeping with him, he needs you.

374
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Without you--

375
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,900
You can't go backwards.

376
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,000
I can't fix his problem.

377
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,300
I am his problem.

378
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,800
If the infection's not in his heart, then it's in his brain.

379
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,900
- You're in my sun. Do a CT.
- We can't.

380
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:47,600
He has a titanium plate and a bunch of metal screws.

381
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,200
Get rid of them.

382
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,400
His skull has multiple hairline fractures.

383
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,500
Removing the metal plate will be like removing half an eggshell without cracking the rest of the shell.

384
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,500
And not removing the plate will be like leaving the egg out to rot.

385
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:03,500
We can't cut off the top of his head based on a few symptoms that disappear whenever we try to test for them.

386
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,200
What if the one symptom that hasn't disappeared was never actually there?

387
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:14,500
Any delays when he answers questions?

388
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,600
He doesn't have partial hearing loss.

389
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,300
He's missing moments.

390
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,800
He reported having something like a complex partial seizure during a bull ride.

391
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,200
Said it hasn't happened since, but what if he's wrong?

392
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,000
What if the infection in the brain is causing it to happen all the time?

393
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,500
His EEG didn't show any sign of seizure activity.

394
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:35,900
I didn't say it was a seizure. I said it was something like a seizure.

395
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:39,800
And I'm guessing you're about to tell us we need to find something like an EEG to prove--

396
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Nope, 'cause I already got one.

397
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:45,500
You want me to sing?

398
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,000
How's singing My Bonnie gonna help you see inside my brain?

399
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,800
It won't.

400
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,400
It's just gonna prove that we need to cut into your skull,

401
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,800
which is gonna be kind of dangerous. So you've got a real incentive to sing like an angel.

402
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,700
We think you're having mini blackouts, but your brain compensates.

403
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:03,100
But it can't compensate if there's a preset rhythm.

404
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,500
One, two, three.

405
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,700
See? Told ya.

406
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:30,800
Lane, that wasn't even close.

407
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:36,600
That was brilliant.

408
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,800
Yeah.

409
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,100
It's understandable.

410
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,700
I hate when you do that.

411
00:29:04,700 --> 00:29:09,000
You respond to what you think I'm thinking, because you think that I think like you do.

412
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:11,200
It's insulting and annoying.

413
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,500
You're scared because nothing excites you.

414
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,800
Fun doesn't excite you.

415
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,300
Puzzles don't excite you.

416
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:21,300
What's left?

417
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,800
And I was saying you're right.

418
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,500
You're upset. You're depressed.

419
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:33,100
Everything's gonna taste a little worse right now, but it'll pass.

420
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,300
It's understandable.

421
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,900
You're scared because you think I'm falling apart, and you're trying to convince yourself that you're overreacting.

422
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,900
Keeps ringing.

423
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:51,100
Yeah.

424
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,200
House, there's no infection in this guy's brain. CT's clean.

425
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,100
Well, that sucks.

426
00:29:57,700 --> 00:29:59,400
Now we have to blow up his heart.

427
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,300
We're not blowing up his heart, because we've ruled out his heart.

428
00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:10,800
MRI and transesophageal echo reveal no swelling, no masses, no vegetation, no sign of anything.

429
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,800
'Cause we're looking the wrong way.

430
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,700
There's an imperfection. How do you find where?

431
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,100
I don't know. Get a magnifying glass and--

432
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:24,300
You suck.

433
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:27,600
Feel free to interpret that both ways.

434
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,000
Suck on the straw, see where the drink leaks.

435
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
You're saying we put pressure on his aorta until it rips open?

436
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:36,400
You do realize the downside of that?

437
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:42,500
If we don't rip it, the damage from the infection will, probably not when he's got his chest open in an OR.

438
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:45,900
Where it can be repaired inside the 60 seconds it'll take him to bleed to death.

439
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:47,900
It's a ridiculous idea. It won't work.

440
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:51,900
Now if you don't mind... get this guy's approval to rip his heart open.

441
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,200
We think you have a bartonella infection, which caused a mycotic aneurysm in your aortic wall.

442
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,500
We need to find it, which means we need to blow up your heart.

443
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:19,600
And, yes, I'm as serious as a heart attack.

444
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,600
We're going to increase your blood pressure until the weak spot in your aortic wall explodes.

445
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,700
Hopefully we'll be able to fix it before you bleed to death.

446
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,200
Any questions?

447
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,800
Nope.

448
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:36,300
Really?

449
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:39,800
You don't even want to know if you'll be able to go back to bull riding?

450
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,500
I assume no?

451
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,200
I mean, you've already cracked open my skull, and now you're gonna blow up my heart.

452
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:50,200
Thought you loved those eight seconds.

453
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:58,500
I do.

454
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:04,100
And now you're telling me that I got to give them up.

455
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,700
I can always find something else to love.

456
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,800
House.

457
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,400
We need to talk.

458
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:35,300
You didn't expect me to say yes to rupturing his aorta, did you?

459
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Since I didn't ask, I wasn't expecting you to say anything at all.

460
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,200
You have no reason to believe this will save his life.

461
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,200
Really?

462
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:45,800
No reason? None at all?

463
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,200
I'm just planning on cracking open his chest, blowing up his heart, what, to pad his bill?

464
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:53,400
Or you think that since you broke my heart I want to break his.

465
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:56,500
I don't know.

466
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:02,400
I think maybe you're looking for something that can excite you.

467
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:04,700
Fill a void.

468
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,300
And it's affecting your judgment.

469
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,200
You're right. I am.

470
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:17,500
My damaged, depressed, drug-addled judgment is still better than yours or any other doctor in this hospital,

471
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,700
and my team is gonna do this procedure and save his life.

472
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:24,800
So you can either have security arrest me and my team, or you can get the hell out of my way.

473
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,800
And she caves.

474
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200
- Rib spreader in place. 
- Heart looks good.

475
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,900
The aorta's exposed.

476
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,200
I take it you ratted me out to Cuddy.

477
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,600
I think your judgment is compromised.

478
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:03,900
No, you don't.

479
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,000
Come on. I got a squash game at 2:00. Let's give this cowboy a ride.

480
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,400
If I inject more, there won't be any room for the blood to go through the rest of his body.

481
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,000
You're right.

482
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,400
Let's make damn sure we don't damage his toes while we blow up his heart.

483
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,200
No bubbles, no bruising, no gaps. It's not working.

484
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:36,900
Yes, it is.

485
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,100
I was wrong.

486
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,900
Not yet.

487
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:47,900
Let's switch him over to bypass for the debridement.

488
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:49,100
Come on. We don't have much time.

489
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,300
Slow the heart down so it doesn't--

490
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:53,000
Damn. Clamp.

491
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,400
We can't clamp the aorta at this pressure. Even if you can see through all the blood.

492
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,300
Do it anyway. We need suction and more sponges.

493
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Leak is too fast.

494
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,600
No, it's not. We can fix this.

495
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:32,500
It worked.

496
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,100
House, it worked.

497
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
I heard you.

498
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,500
I'm awake, so I guess it worked.

499
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:23,700
As long as you don't get your heart rate too high.

500
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,700
You, uh, probably shouldn't have sex for a while.

501
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:31,900
I'll keep that in mind.

502
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,300
Want to hang out, see your ranch sometime?

503
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:52,200
That would probably be inappropriate, 'cause I'm your doctor and everything.

504
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,600
Good luck with everything.

505
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:11,300
I--

506
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:20,300
Double scotch. Doubled.

507
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,100
Uh, blended? Single malt? Any preference?

508
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:23,900
No.

509
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Yeah, sorry about the noise. I guess, uh, their team won.

510
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,700
Although I got to tell you, sometimes I wish I could still act like that, you know?

511
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,400
Just let loose.

512
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,800
Ah, I guess it's a little easier, though, when you got no troubles.

513
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,700
Parents still paying your bills.

514
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,800
Got your whole life ahead of you.

515
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:31,800
No!

516
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,820
Cannonball!

517
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,000
- What the hell are you doing?
- What do you do when you win?

518
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,200
- Party!
- What do you do when you lose?

519
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,400
Party harder!
