00:01:02,959 --> 00:01:04,961
You. Give me that.
3
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:07,923
What are you talking about?
4
00:01:08,048 --> 00:01:09,925
- Mrs. Miller?
- Your phone, young lady.
5
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:12,636
I was just switching it to silent
in case someone called.
6
00:01:12,761 --> 00:01:14,596
No, you were cheating.
7
00:01:14,721 --> 00:01:16,390
- Please. Like I have to cheat.
- Lady?
8
00:01:16,515 --> 00:01:18,558
I said wait!
9
00:01:18,684 --> 00:01:20,185
Give it here.
10
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:21,436
Sure.
11
00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:28,235
Love the blouse.
12
00:01:31,655 --> 00:01:33,740
I need to use the bunk room.
13
00:01:34,408 --> 00:01:36,159
The bathroom? Sure.
14
00:01:36,868 --> 00:01:37,911
In 19 minutes.
15
00:01:38,036 --> 00:01:39,121
Can't do it.
16
00:01:39,996 --> 00:01:42,249
You got a friend in the bathroom
with the answers?
17
00:01:42,374 --> 00:01:43,500
(GROANS)
18
00:01:46,878 --> 00:01:49,256
Fine. I'll get you an escort.

20
00:01:57,097 --> 00:01:59,725
Don't stink up

00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,019
Don't stand up.

24
00:02:06,898 --> 00:02:09,234
Hey, he's really sick.
25
00:02:13,113 --> 00:02:14,281
Eyes on your work.
26
00:02:14,406 --> 00:02:15,741
Are you all right?
27
00:02:16,908 --> 00:02:17,951
What is going on?
28
00:02:18,076 --> 00:02:19,286
Get some help.
29
00:02:57,157 --> 00:02:58,992
FOREMAN: The kid was just taking his
AP calculus exam,
30
00:02:59,117 --> 00:03:00,952
when all of a sudden,
he got nauseous and disoriented.
31
00:03:01,077 --> 00:03:02,913
That's the way
calculus presents.
32
00:03:03,038 --> 00:03:04,206
Severe bradycardia.
33
00:03:04,331 --> 00:03:06,082
Heart rate's down
to 48 and falling fast.
34
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:08,877
- You know the kid?
- No, he just came in.
35
00:03:09,002 --> 00:03:13,089
- Mom real good looking?
- I didn't notice.
36
00:03:13,381 --> 00:03:15,217
Then it's a mystery.
37
00:03:15,342 --> 00:03:17,844
Not why he's sick,
but why you care so much.
38
00:03:17,969 --> 00:03:19,930
Gift shop's open.
Buy him a card.
39
00:03:20,055 --> 00:03:22,724
- He's not responding to atropine.
- Boys love fart jokes.
40
00:03:22,849 --> 00:03:24,684
Find one with
a good fart joke.
41
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,772
He's a teenager.
It's drugs.
42
00:03:29,523 --> 00:03:32,567
Tell those ER geniuses
to give him charcoal and naloxone,
43
00:03:32,692 --> 00:03:33,902
and stop following me.
44
00:03:34,027 --> 00:03:37,447
His tox screen was negative.
He's still whacked out.
45
00:03:38,532 --> 00:03:41,993
You don't care about the kid.
You just find his illness intriguing.
46
00:03:42,118 --> 00:03:43,370
His CAT scan was clean.
47
00:03:43,495 --> 00:03:45,413
There's no sign of infection.
It's not diabetes.
48
00:03:45,539 --> 00:03:47,165
And you don't care
about him.
49
00:03:47,290 --> 00:03:50,001
If that's what you wanna hear,
not in the slightest.
50
00:03:50,126 --> 00:03:51,545
Me, neither.
51
00:03:53,296 --> 00:03:55,131
Means we'll be objective.
52
00:04:01,763 --> 00:04:02,973
Maybe it's shigellosis.
53
00:04:03,098 --> 00:04:04,975
Wouldn't account
for the bradycardia.
54
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:06,059
Viral myocarditis?
55
00:04:06,184 --> 00:04:08,270
Wouldn't account
for the whacked out.
56
00:04:08,395 --> 00:04:11,439
So, what's the differential
for a negative tox screen?
57
00:04:11,565 --> 00:04:12,524
He was clean.
58
00:04:12,649 --> 00:04:13,942
Unless someone
screwed up the test.
59
00:04:14,067 --> 00:04:15,610
That never happens.
60
00:04:15,735 --> 00:04:18,113
Or he 0D'd
on something we didn't test for.
61
00:04:18,238 --> 00:04:20,991
1,4-butanediol would
give you these symptoms.
62
00:04:21,324 --> 00:04:23,910
- That's a new one.
- Copy machine toner.
63
00:04:24,244 --> 00:04:28,665
Same punch as GHB.
A little pricier, way more dangerous.
64
00:04:29,124 --> 00:04:31,167
On the other hand,
it is legal.
65
00:04:31,293 --> 00:04:34,170
I want you to go to his house
and find his stash.
66
00:04:34,296 --> 00:04:36,548
I'll bet you know all
the good hiding spots.
67
00:04:36,673 --> 00:04:38,842
Actually, I never did drugs.
68
00:04:39,175 --> 00:04:42,220
Better go with him,
in case he gets high.
69
00:04:43,221 --> 00:04:44,389
How much atropine
is the kid getting?
70
00:04:44,514 --> 00:04:45,515
One ml.
71
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,894
Make it two.
In case he needs his heart later on.
72
00:04:51,187 --> 00:04:54,024
CHASE: Matt, did you take
any drugs this morning?
73
00:04:54,482 --> 00:04:56,067
Pencils down.
74
00:04:57,777 --> 00:04:59,863
Can you squeeze
my fingers for me?
75
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:07,454
Did anyone give you anything
to help with the math test?
76
00:05:08,246 --> 00:05:09,289
Matt?
77
00:05:09,414 --> 00:05:11,207
I told you.
He doesn't take drugs.
78
00:05:12,125 --> 00:05:15,795
Ms. Davis, all parents
think that about their children,
79
00:05:15,921 --> 00:05:17,923
and they're
usually wrong.
80
00:05:18,089 --> 00:05:21,051
I gave my mum a little trouble
when I was his age.
81
00:05:21,176 --> 00:05:23,386
I turned out okay.
Even she thought so.
82
00:05:23,511 --> 00:05:25,096
I know my kid.
83
00:05:25,221 --> 00:05:28,350
The fact that you did drugs
doesn't mean he did.
84
00:05:29,935 --> 00:05:32,103
Did he go anywhere last night?
85
00:05:34,147 --> 00:05:36,483
No, he was home studying.
86
00:05:36,608 --> 00:05:39,527
- Any friends come over to help him?
- And bring him drugs?
87
00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:41,488
- Is that what your friends did?
- Ms. Davis...
88
00:05:41,613 --> 00:05:42,572
Look,
89
00:05:44,866 --> 00:05:46,284
I tested him myself.
90
00:05:46,409 --> 00:05:48,995
The home kit.
I took some hair off his brush.
91
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,332
I didn't want him to know about it,
because I do trust him.
92
00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:55,293
Then why did you test him?
93
00:05:57,337 --> 00:05:59,255
MARGO: All he did
last night was study
94
00:05:59,381 --> 00:06:01,967
and argue about his
college interviews.
95
00:06:02,258 --> 00:06:06,972
He wants to be himself.
No haircut, ratty old clothes.
96
00:06:07,097 --> 00:06:08,974
That'll go over big.
97
00:06:09,099 --> 00:06:11,643
Then we both gave up and went to bed.
That's it.
98
00:06:11,768 --> 00:06:16,231
CHASE: Has he ever had any problems
like this before? Any family history?
99
00:06:16,356 --> 00:06:18,775
No, it's just
me and Matt.
100
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,902
- Diazepam, 10 milligrams, stat.
- Right.
101
00:06:21,027 --> 00:06:24,030
MARGO: What's going on?
Just taking some precautions.
102
00:06:24,781 --> 00:06:27,909
He's seizing.
Help me hold him.
103
00:06:29,703 --> 00:06:32,330
Stay cool, mate.
We'll calm you down.
104
00:06:42,966 --> 00:06:45,343
This room is way too clean
for a teenage boy.
105
00:06:45,468 --> 00:06:47,137
You know why House
thinks I'm a druggie?
106
00:06:47,262 --> 00:06:48,888
This is gonna be
a racial thing, isn't it?
107
00:06:49,014 --> 00:06:51,307
Same reason he thinks
this kid overdosed.
108
00:06:51,433 --> 00:06:54,561
When you're a drug addict,
you wanna believe everyone else is, too.
109
00:06:54,686 --> 00:06:56,896
He's not addicted.
He has to take drugs.
110
00:06:57,022 --> 00:06:59,399
The definition of an addict.
111
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:01,067
He's in pain.
112
00:07:01,192 --> 00:07:02,944
FOREMAN: And addicted
to pain killers.
113
00:07:03,069 --> 00:07:04,738
What a coincidence!
114
00:07:07,157 --> 00:07:09,117
You really
never did any drugs?
115
00:07:09,242 --> 00:07:10,035
(FOREMAN CHUCKLES)
116
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,537
Now this is gonna
be a racial thing.
117
00:07:13,496 --> 00:07:14,998
Deflecting a personal
question with a joke.
118
00:07:15,123 --> 00:07:16,958
Gee, who do I know
that does that?
119
00:07:17,083 --> 00:07:19,002
Yeah, I'm just like him.
120
00:07:19,127 --> 00:07:22,005
Except for the angry, bitter,
pompous cripple part.
121
00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:24,299
Maybe we should all pitch in
and get you a nice cane.
122
00:07:24,424 --> 00:07:26,968
You already have
the matching gym shoes.
123
00:07:36,603 --> 00:07:37,520
Check this out!
124
00:07:39,939 --> 00:07:43,276
Mom's not too careful
with the homemade tomato sauce.
125
00:07:44,986 --> 00:07:46,029
When the top
sticks out like that,
126
00:07:46,154 --> 00:07:49,574
it's a sign of
bacterial contamination.
127
00:07:55,121 --> 00:07:56,623
This one's open.
128
00:08:05,590 --> 00:08:08,009
I am extremely disappointed.
129
00:08:10,678 --> 00:08:13,139
I send you out
for exciting new designer drugs,
130
00:08:13,264 --> 00:08:15,850
and you come back
with tomato sauce.
131
00:08:16,601 --> 00:08:19,854
I bet you paid twice as much.
I got mine online.
132
00:08:20,105 --> 00:08:23,942
Matt decided to make himself
a homemade pizza for a bedtime snack.
133
00:08:24,067 --> 00:08:26,653
Source of botulism,
as well as a million other toxins
134
00:08:26,778 --> 00:08:29,823
that cause gastroenteritis,
cardiac symptoms and mental confusion.
135
00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:31,616
I'm not so sure
about gastroenteritis.
136
00:08:31,741 --> 00:08:34,119
But mental confusion?
Bring it on.
137
00:08:34,244 --> 00:08:35,954
Don't, but...
138
00:08:36,079 --> 00:08:38,081
(EXCLAIMS)
Delicious.
139
00:08:38,206 --> 00:08:39,582
Do you have a death wish?
140
00:08:39,707 --> 00:08:41,126
I notice
you didn't try to save me.
141
00:08:41,251 --> 00:08:43,169
I figured you were trying
to make some kind of subtle point.
142
00:08:43,294 --> 00:08:45,713
I was.
The kid just started seizing.
143
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:47,799
Not a symptom of
food borne toxins.
144
00:08:48,383 --> 00:08:50,009
Also not
a symptom of drug use,
145
00:08:50,135 --> 00:08:52,220
not two hours
after admission.
146
00:08:52,345 --> 00:08:54,222
So, what would make him seize,
147
00:08:54,347 --> 00:08:56,599
in addition to all these
other delightful symptoms?
148
00:08:56,724 --> 00:08:59,185
- Pesticide poisoning.
- Carbamates.
149
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:04,107
- Or organophosphates, organochlorines.
- Inhalation or absorption?
150
00:09:04,232 --> 00:09:05,400
Too soon to tell.
151
00:09:05,775 --> 00:09:08,069
We should wash him down.
The poison could still be on his skin.
152
00:09:08,528 --> 00:09:09,863
Already told the nurses.
153
00:09:24,294 --> 00:09:26,671
WOMAN ON PA: Nursing supervisor
to the instrument room.
154
00:09:26,796 --> 00:09:28,673
I feel good.
155
00:09:30,133 --> 00:09:32,093
That's your complaint?
156
00:09:32,844 --> 00:09:34,012
Your major symptom.
157
00:09:34,137 --> 00:09:35,680
I told her this
was a waste of time.
158
00:09:35,805 --> 00:09:37,473
I notice colors more.
159
00:09:38,183 --> 00:09:42,478
And music!
I'm really hearing music.
160
00:09:43,146 --> 00:09:46,024
I'm 82,
and I'm supposed to be
161
00:09:46,149 --> 00:09:48,610
playing canasta with
the other old ladies,
162
00:09:48,735 --> 00:09:53,615
but now, when I see
a guy with a cute butt,
163
00:09:54,824 --> 00:10:00,830
I can't stop looking at him.
Or a sexy beard.
164
00:10:01,664 --> 00:10:06,085
And you figure that enjoying cute butts
is a sign of disease?
165
00:10:06,211 --> 00:10:08,588
It all started
a month ago when Mark
166
00:10:08,713 --> 00:10:10,757
rented Gone with the Wind
for me,
167
00:10:10,882 --> 00:10:12,550
but it had
the wrong DVD in it.
168
00:10:13,092 --> 00:10:15,220
Right, I forgot.
This is all my fault.
169
00:10:15,345 --> 00:10:17,597
Of course, he was too
busy to bring it back.
170
00:10:17,722 --> 00:10:19,015
Yeah, like I don't
have a life.
171
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:22,518
So I watched it,
and it had this actor in it,
172
00:10:22,936 --> 00:10:25,772
this kid called Ashton Kutcher.
173
00:10:26,231 --> 00:10:32,237
Now, I think about Ashton
all the time.
174
00:10:34,405 --> 00:10:36,449
All the time.

00:19:11,213 --> 00:19:12,882
Dr. Morell,
contact the CAP lab.
345
00:19:13,299 --> 00:19:15,968
She rethought her position.
346
00:19:16,093 --> 00:19:19,972
- Start him on the hydrolase.
- No. We've got a problem.
347
00:19:21,474 --> 00:19:23,350
Three. One, two, three.
348
00:19:25,561 --> 00:19:28,314
Heart rate's 49.
O2 stat, 84 and falling.
349
00:19:28,439 --> 00:19:30,608
Saline,
atropine and diazepam, now.
350
00:19:31,192 --> 00:19:34,111
His name is Chi Ling.
He was admitted 12 minutes ago.
351
00:19:34,236 --> 00:19:36,989
Identical symptoms as Matt.
Chase isn't sure he's gonna make it.
352
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:48,918
This one.
353
00:19:49,877 --> 00:19:51,045
354
00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:02,348
(BEEPING)
355
00:20:05,643 --> 00:20:08,354
Matt's next-door neighbor,
by any chance?
356
00:20:08,896 --> 00:20:11,065
They live 10 miles apart.
357
00:20:11,398 --> 00:20:14,443
Apparently, they don't
even know each other.
358
00:20:36,131 --> 00:20:39,385
We live in an apartment.
We have two bamboo trees.
359
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:43,305
No pesticides,
just dry seaweed for fertilizer.
360
00:20:44,014 --> 00:20:46,183
The second kid's heart
is almost as weak as Matt's.
361
00:20:46,308 --> 00:20:47,977
We may need to get
it wired up, too.
362
00:20:48,102 --> 00:20:49,728
And I don't know how long
Matt's brain will hold up.
363
00:20:49,854 --> 00:20:50,938
His heart's not
pumping enough oxygen.
364
00:20:51,063 --> 00:20:52,606
- How much are you giving him?
- Eighty percent.
365
00:20:52,731 --> 00:20:53,691
Make it 90.
366
00:20:53,816 --> 00:20:55,150
We're risking
damage to his retina.
367
00:20:55,276 --> 00:20:56,902
What the heck.
Do it anyway.
368
00:20:57,027 --> 00:20:58,070
He's a calculus student.
369
00:20:58,195 --> 00:21:00,281
Probably likes
having a brain.
370
00:21:00,406 --> 00:21:01,991
I'll have Foreman
take care of it.
371
00:21:02,825 --> 00:21:03,826
I'm the primary.
372
00:21:03,951 --> 00:21:06,078
Yeah, but the mom
wants to get rid of you.
373
00:21:06,203 --> 00:21:08,205
And you know me.
I'm a people-pleasing kind of guy.
374
00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:10,374
What, she complained?
About me?
375
00:21:10,499 --> 00:21:11,542
She went to the principal.
376
00:21:11,667 --> 00:21:14,044
Told Cuddy you took
drugs in high school.
377
00:21:14,169 --> 00:21:16,046
This is gonna go
on your permanent record.
378
00:21:16,171 --> 00:21:17,381
I was trying to
get information.
379
00:21:17,506 --> 00:21:18,674
It was a strategy.
380
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,510
She also used the word "slacker".
You wanna come in?
381
00:21:21,635 --> 00:21:24,138
Smoke a little weed?
Watch some MTV?
382
00:21:27,016 --> 00:21:28,183
High school has no idea
what could have happened.
383
00:21:28,309 --> 00:21:31,145
You sure that Chi didn't sneak
onto Matt's tomato patch?
384
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:33,731
Maybe they sniffed disulfoton
together to get high.
385
00:21:33,856 --> 00:21:36,358
Same school, different grades,
different cliques, different everything.
386
00:21:36,483 --> 00:21:37,902
They managed to get
poisoned together.
387
00:21:38,027 --> 00:21:39,153
They must have
something in common.
388
00:21:39,278 --> 00:21:40,905
Their classes aren't even
in the same building.
389
00:21:41,030 --> 00:21:43,657
They don't even eat lunch
in the same lunchroom.
390
00:21:44,283 --> 00:21:46,118
How do they get to school?
391
00:21:47,536 --> 00:21:50,164
BUS DRIVER: Unless you're with the
board, the police or the union,
392
00:21:50,289 --> 00:21:51,874
I don't care who you are.
393
00:21:51,999 --> 00:21:54,084
Sir, we need to test the bus
for chemical residue.
394
00:21:54,209 --> 00:21:56,295
And I need to pick up
the basketball team.
395
00:21:56,420 --> 00:21:59,214
You got a problem with that,
call my supervisor.
396
00:21:59,757 --> 00:22:02,217
Two kids were poisoned
on your bus this morning.
397
00:22:02,343 --> 00:22:03,969
They're dying-
398
00:22:09,058 --> 00:22:11,727
My God.
The things he said.
399
00:22:13,103 --> 00:22:16,065
Dr. House wanted your son to get
the medicine he needed.
400
00:22:16,190 --> 00:22:18,108
He was willing to do whatever
it took to make that happen.
401
00:22:18,233 --> 00:22:22,237
- The wrong kind of medicine.
- He didn't know that.
402
00:22:22,363 --> 00:22:24,114
At the time,
it was our only choice.
403
00:22:24,239 --> 00:22:27,326
He would have known
if he had listened to me.
404
00:22:27,493 --> 00:22:31,664
He listened.
He just assumed you were wrong.
405
00:22:32,873 --> 00:22:34,959
To be honest,
that's true of most of our patients.
406
00:22:35,084 --> 00:22:36,835
(SCOFFS)
407
00:22:36,961 --> 00:22:40,047
You're just as pompous
and superior as he is.
408
00:22:43,050 --> 00:22:44,468
BUS DRIVER: Matt is
back row, right.
409
00:22:44,593 --> 00:22:46,637
The Asian kid,
first or second row, left.
410
00:22:46,762 --> 00:22:48,263
- Okay.
- Look,
411
00:22:48,389 --> 00:22:51,266
I got this rash in
kind of my groin region.
412
00:22:51,684 --> 00:22:53,811
It's not a symptom.
413
00:22:54,103 --> 00:22:55,354
Neither is being obnoxious.
414
00:22:55,479 --> 00:22:57,940
Looks like
you're in the clear.
415
00:23:02,987 --> 00:23:04,113
So who poisoned them?
416
00:23:05,197 --> 00:23:06,949
We're not sure yet
if it was done on purpose.
417
00:23:07,074 --> 00:23:09,076
Oh, yeah? You ought to see
these little bastards,
418
00:23:09,201 --> 00:23:10,869
screaming and
punching each other all day long.
419
00:23:10,995 --> 00:23:12,496
Did you happen to notice
if anyone was doing any spraying
420
00:23:12,621 --> 00:23:14,999
near the bus route?
421
00:23:15,708 --> 00:23:17,668
Yeah, there was this truck
down by the pond
422
00:23:17,793 --> 00:23:19,086
doing something or other.
423
00:23:19,211 --> 00:23:21,005
It smelled kind of funny, too.
424
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:30,014
Dr. House!
425
00:23:30,139 --> 00:23:32,599
Well, it took you long enough.
We've been waiting here...
426
00:23:32,725 --> 00:23:34,852
Mr. Adams, would you
step outside for a moment?
427
00:23:35,185 --> 00:23:38,063
- Why?
- Because you irritate me.
428
00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:41,066
He is my son, Doctor.
429
00:23:41,191 --> 00:23:44,236
He's just a little
cranky from not eating.
430
00:23:45,654 --> 00:23:49,783
Fine. Mrs. Adams, have you had
any recent sexual activity?
431
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:51,035
What?
432
00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:56,206
Well, I don't
suppose fantasies count.
433
00:23:56,331 --> 00:23:57,750
Oh, my God.
434
00:23:57,875 --> 00:24:01,253
Unfortunately,
I've hit kind of a dry spell.
435
00:24:02,129 --> 00:24:05,799
Only for the last,
I don't know, 15 years.
436
00:24:05,924 --> 00:24:08,135
You see?
She's confused.
437
00:24:08,260 --> 00:24:10,512
My father died eight years ago.
Heart attack.
438
00:24:10,637 --> 00:24:12,347
Not in bed, dear.
439
00:24:16,351 --> 00:24:18,270
Why do you ask?
440
00:24:19,354 --> 00:24:22,608
Because you have tested
positive for syphilis.
441
00:24:22,733 --> 00:24:26,111
That's impossible!
And insulting.
442
00:24:27,821 --> 00:24:29,031
I don't think
it's the first time
443
00:24:29,156 --> 00:24:31,950
that Mom has
heard this diagnosis.
444
00:24:35,454 --> 00:24:37,915
Cupid's disease.
445
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,374
That's what we
used to call it.
446
00:24:40,959 --> 00:24:42,419
When did you get it?
447
00:24:44,296 --> 00:24:49,468
1939, prom night, I think.
He had a Chevrolet.
448
00:24:51,929 --> 00:24:54,098
It was before
I met your father.
449
00:24:54,223 --> 00:24:55,307
But you said that...
450
00:24:57,226 --> 00:25:01,647
- You said Dad was your first love.
- He was.
451
00:25:03,524 --> 00:25:05,651
We're talking about sex.
452
00:25:08,570 --> 00:25:10,239
But I was treated.
453
00:25:10,364 --> 00:25:13,033
Which suppressed it,
in your case, for 60 years,
454
00:25:13,742 --> 00:25:16,912
but now it's back, and the spirochetes
that cause syphilis
455
00:25:17,037 --> 00:25:19,081
are eating away
at your brain cells.
456
00:25:19,206 --> 00:25:22,126
(EXCLAIMS)
That's revolting.
457
00:25:22,251 --> 00:25:24,211
It's not as
revolting as chlamydia.
458
00:25:24,336 --> 00:25:25,671
That's got seepage.
459
00:25:26,171 --> 00:25:27,339
And it's the 21st century.
460
00:25:27,464 --> 00:25:30,968
We've got flying cars,
robot dogs and penicillin.
461
00:25:31,677 --> 00:25:33,554
High-dose regimen for two weeks,
you're cured.
462
00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:36,932
- I can't believe this.
- Yeah, well, pinch yourself.
463
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:41,353
I guess for the next two weeks,
I'd better practice safe sex.
464
00:25:43,021 --> 00:25:47,109
You'll be fine.
Just feed that cranky kid.
465
00:25:53,365 --> 00:25:55,075
CAMERON: The county's
worried about West Nile,
466
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,911
so they sprayed ethyl parathion
right next to the bus route.
467
00:25:58,412 --> 00:26:00,622
Do you have the hydrolase
for ethyl parathion?
468
00:26:00,747 --> 00:26:04,084
Yeah, only one problem. Matt's mother
faxed his records to the CDC.
469
00:26:04,209 --> 00:26:05,586
She refuses to
let us do anything
470
00:26:05,711 --> 00:26:07,921
until she hears
back from them.
471
00:26:08,046 --> 00:26:10,632
Well, you're getting good
at this godlike doctor racket.
472
00:26:10,757 --> 00:26:12,551
Why don't you talk
her out of this lunacy?
473
00:26:12,676 --> 00:26:14,344
She's not really
a big fan of mine.
474
00:26:14,469 --> 00:26:15,554
Or mine.
475
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:19,766
Well, only one man left in the bull pen,
and he throws like a girl.
476
00:26:22,269 --> 00:26:24,229
I hate sports metaphors.
477
00:26:25,898 --> 00:26:27,733
Give her the high,
hard one.
478
00:26:28,233 --> 00:26:30,152
We really think
the hydrolase is the only...
479
00:26:30,277 --> 00:26:32,154
I'm thinking about transferring
Matt out of here.
480
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,323
Ms. Davis,
your son is very sick.
481
00:26:34,448 --> 00:26:35,657
He won't survive
a transfer.
482
00:26:35,782 --> 00:26:38,702
I'm getting a second opinion
from the Center for Disease Control.
483
00:26:38,827 --> 00:26:42,497
Right. Look, when my
grandmother got sick...
484
00:26:42,623 --> 00:26:46,168
What? You're gonna tell me some
tough decision you had to make?
485
00:26:46,293 --> 00:26:47,252
I know how hard
this is for you.
486
00:26:47,377 --> 00:26:49,004
Maybe embroider
the story a little?
487
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:50,631
Make it fit?
488
00:26:50,964 --> 00:26:52,633
I can't imagine
being in your position.
489
00:26:52,758 --> 00:26:55,135
Honesty, a kind of
vulnerable honesty.

That's your thing.
And the looks.

492
00:26:58,013 --> 00:27:00,807
They send a single woman
to hustle the single mom.
493
00:27:00,933 --> 00:27:03,185
Actually, they sent a doctor
494
00:27:03,310 --> 00:27:05,812
to tell you that if your son
doesn't get this treatment,
495
00:27:05,938 --> 00:27:07,981
there's a good chance
he'll die.
496
00:27:08,482 --> 00:27:12,152
That's what House said about a treatment
that would have killed Matt.

You've gotta do
better than that.

No, it's on you.

You need to do better.
Right now. Yes or no?

- Figure it out.

00:28:47,956 --> 00:28:50,292
He's not responding.
Another 10 milligrams.
515
00:28:50,417 --> 00:28:52,002
You're killing him!
516
00:28:52,878 --> 00:28:54,129
MARGO: You're killing him!
517
00:28:54,254 --> 00:28:55,797
Get her out of here.
Get her out of here!
518
00:28:55,922 --> 00:28:58,008
Come on, ma'am.
Ma'am?

(ERRATIC BEEPING)
520
00:29:07,976 --> 00:29:10,354
FOREMAN: Their hearts are barely
pumping. Their lungs are shot.
521
00:29:10,479 --> 00:29:12,397
Now they're
showing liver toxicity.
522
00:29:12,522 --> 00:29:14,232
HOUSE: I guess Matt's mom
won't nominate us
523
00:29:14,358 --> 00:29:16,109
for any
doctor-of-the-year awards.
524
00:29:16,234 --> 00:29:19,946
Only explanation is they got poisoned
by something besides ethyl parathion.
525
00:29:20,072 --> 00:29:21,656
Then the hydrolase would release
the neurotoxins
526
00:29:21,782 --> 00:29:22,783
instead of bonding with them.
527
00:29:22,908 --> 00:29:24,910
The only thing they have in common
is the bus.
528
00:29:25,035 --> 00:29:26,536
Except their symptoms.
529
00:29:26,661 --> 00:29:29,414
Given their severity and the fact their
cardiac symptoms are getting worse
530
00:29:29,539 --> 00:29:31,625
much faster than their other ones,
what does that tell us?
531
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:33,627
The poison was probably absorbed
through the skin.
532
00:29:33,752 --> 00:29:36,046
They were admitted
at 8:45 and 11 :00.
533
00:29:36,171 --> 00:29:36,922
When were they poisoned?
534
00:29:37,047 --> 00:29:39,925
Absorption through the skin,
anywhere from three to eight hours.
535
00:29:40,050 --> 00:29:41,885
In a case that bad,
more like one-and-a-half to four.
536
00:29:42,010 --> 00:29:46,681
So Matt was poisoned before 7:15.
Before he got on the bus.
537
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:50,310
You're thinking each kid
got poisoned in his own house?
538
00:29:50,435 --> 00:29:51,603
Two separate exposures?
539
00:29:51,728 --> 00:29:55,065
What do teenage boys do in the morning,
besides the obvious?
540
00:29:55,399 --> 00:29:57,484
Wake up, go to the bathroom,
541
00:29:57,609 --> 00:30:00,779
then the obvious,
then check their zits in the mirror.
542
00:30:00,904 --> 00:30:02,989
Do they both use
the same acne cream?
543
00:30:03,115 --> 00:30:05,784
Because acne cream contains lanolin,
which could have pesticides,
544
00:30:05,909 --> 00:30:07,953
and you're thinking
they both bought the same product.
545
00:30:08,078 --> 00:30:09,913
It was contaminated.
Shaving cream.
546
00:30:10,038 --> 00:30:11,248
Chi doesn't look
like he shaves.
547
00:30:11,373 --> 00:30:12,332
But he sweats.
548
00:30:12,457 --> 00:30:13,500
Deodorant could
contain lanolin.
549
00:30:13,625 --> 00:30:15,001
Do these people
have animals?
550
00:30:15,127 --> 00:30:16,670
Chi has a dog.
Matt has a cat.
551
00:30:16,795 --> 00:30:19,589
- Fleas, flea powder.
- Okay. Go to their houses.
552
00:30:19,714 --> 00:30:21,007
Check for anything that
might have touched their skin
553
00:30:21,133 --> 00:30:23,635
between the time they got up
and the time they went to school.
554
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,470
And I'm running
low on tomato sauce.

- I sent you home.
- Well, I came back.
559
00:30:37,023 --> 00:30:38,942
I took a cab,
560
00:30:39,067 --> 00:30:42,946
so my son wouldn't try
to chaperone us this time.
561
00:30:43,071 --> 00:30:46,241
I'm sorry, but the fact that
the sexual-pleasure center
562
00:30:46,366 --> 00:30:49,286
of your cerebral cortex has been
over-stimulated by spirochetes,
563
00:30:49,411 --> 00:30:52,789
it's a poor basis
for a relationship.
564
00:30:52,914 --> 00:30:54,207
I learned that one
the hard way.
565
00:30:55,625 --> 00:30:59,754
Doctor, these feelings
that I've been having,
566
00:31:00,922 --> 00:31:03,758
is it all because
of the syphilis?
567
00:31:04,092 --> 00:31:05,135
Yes.
568
00:31:06,636 --> 00:31:07,929
Then
569
00:31:09,431 --> 00:31:11,975
here's the prescription
you gave me.
570
00:31:17,272 --> 00:31:20,859
Well, it's not likely
I'm going to infect anyone.

00:31:21,151 --> 00:31:24,070
No, but it'll kill you.
572
00:31:24,946 --> 00:31:28,033
Well, gotta go sometime,
573
00:31:29,493 --> 00:31:32,078

want to play canasta

Do you think that
I would have given you this

00:31:50,931 --> 00:31:53,266
if it would stop you
from flirting with me?
579
00:31:53,391 --> 00:31:54,726
Well, but if I'm cured...
580
00:31:54,851 --> 00:31:57,771
Then all the spirochetes
will die off.

of your cerebral cortex

destroyed won't grow back.

- Pert shampoo.
- Johnson's over here.

Maybe tomorrow.
Maybe the day after.

00:38:12,896 --> 00:38:15,148
Same reason as last time.
687
00:38:18,776 --> 00:38:22,322
If you wanna see how the other kid
does first, that's okay.
688
00:38:22,447 --> 00:38:23,489
Might help you.
689
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,159
Although there's
a real good chance...
690
00:38:26,284 --> 00:38:28,536
What?
Matt might kick off?
691
00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:31,164
That's a little blunt.
692
00:38:31,748 --> 00:38:33,291
I was gonna say
"run out of time",
693
00:38:33,416 --> 00:38:37,211
or just kind of
let my voice trail off.

695
00:38:47,096 --> 00:38:47,931
Hello?
696
00:38:49,015 --> 00:38:51,017
Yes, this is Margo Davis.
697
00:38:55,313 --> 00:38:58,191
But you have his records.
I sent them.
698
00:39:02,028 --> 00:39:03,863
Yes, I understand.
699
00:39:11,329 --> 00:39:13,039
They can't help me.
700
00:39:14,248 --> 00:39:15,875
They haven't seen him.
701
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,044
- They can't make a decision...
- Give it to him.
702

"The CDC is unable to give an opinion
at this time, ma'am.
703

We're gonna have a doctor
in your area next week."
704
00:39:37,605 --> 00:39:39,607
You fooled her
with that?

(BEEPING)
706
00:40:50,762 --> 00:40:52,096
House!
707
00:41:31,469 --> 00:41:32,637
So I'm gonna be cured?
708
00:41:32,762 --> 00:41:35,890
As long as you don't wear
any more poison pants.
709
00:41:36,974 --> 00:41:38,267
I'm sorry, Mom.
710
00:41:38,392 --> 00:41:39,811
I knew the pants
were stolen.
711
00:41:40,561 --> 00:41:42,438
They were only five bucks.
712
00:41:42,563 --> 00:41:43,981
You're gonna give me
hell, aren't you?
713
00:41:44,107 --> 00:41:46,859
Honey, I'm just
glad you're alive.
714
00:41:46,984 --> 00:41:49,570
Let's get you home
so you can rest.
715
00:41:50,029 --> 00:41:52,323
Maybe I am too hard on you.
716
00:41:52,448 --> 00:41:54,951
You don't have to make up
that test till next week.
717
00:41:55,076 --> 00:41:58,371
You can stay in bed
and work on your applications.
718
00:41:58,496 --> 00:42:01,582
Some guy was selling pants off the back
of his truck near the school.
719
00:42:02,166 --> 00:42:04,210
When he wasn't busy
as a clothing entrepreneur,
720
00:42:04,335 --> 00:42:07,004
he did day labor
at a cornfield out on Route 1.
721
00:42:07,130 --> 00:42:08,631
He used the same
truck for both jobs.
722
00:42:08,756 --> 00:42:12,301
So he spilled pesticide on the pants
and was too lazy to clean up.
723
00:42:12,426 --> 00:42:15,346
Real question is
why are you still here?
724
00:42:16,222 --> 00:42:20,059
Why aren't you out there
making up with the joyful mother?
725
00:42:20,893 --> 00:42:23,855
- Why would I do that?
- No reason at all.
726
00:42:24,063 --> 00:42:26,941
If you don't care
about her or her son.
727
00:42:33,614 --> 00:42:35,074
Dr. House.
728
00:42:36,242 --> 00:42:37,827
The CDC called
729
00:42:39,162 --> 00:42:41,789
- again.
- Oops.
730
00:42:45,126 --> 00:42:46,127
Who are those guys?
731
00:42:46,252 --> 00:42:49,380
They're the arrogant jerks
that saved your life.
