I'm assuming he's not just really
dirty, but is of African descent,
72

a lower white count.

MS 100% of the time.

drank in the weeks before that,

That was 15 years ago. The
kid wasn't even in the car.

She veered off a straight,
dry road in broad daylight.

00:07:38,104 --> 00:07:39,147
That doesn't seem odd to you?
140
00:07:39,272 --> 00:07:41,816
She probably got distracted changing
radio stations or something.
141
00:07:41,941 --> 00:07:43,109
That's what
the police thought.
142

Of course, they didn't know
that she has a family member

- But it's interesting.

Yes, I would.
If she were speaking to me.

Unlike her, I could make
it worth your while.

NF2.
It's an inherited disease.

00:08:32,325 --> 00:08:35,245
It could cause abnorlnal
growths on the cranial nerves.
159
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:37,122
It would explain the shocks
and other symptoms.
160
00:08:37,247 --> 00:08:39,165
DNA analysis will show
whether your son

has the specific
chromosome mutation

which causes the disease.

else in our family would have it.

may have had it.

what caused her car accident.
169
00:08:57,725 --> 00:09:00,353
Wait, what do you mean? My mom's
car was hit by a drunk driver.
170
00:09:00,478 --> 00:09:03,231
That's not what
the police report indicated.
171
00:09:04,732 --> 00:09:07,360
Well, you must have gotten
the wrong report.
172
00:09:07,485 --> 00:09:09,821
No. They didn't.
173
00:09:15,577 --> 00:09:16,744
(SIGHS)
174
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:19,330
When you started driving...
175
00:09:19,455 --> 00:09:20,456
lull
176
00:09:22,292 --> 00:09:24,043
You lied about how Mom died?
177
00:09:24,169 --> 00:09:26,379
KEN: I figured if her death could
somehow mean something, it...
178
00:09:26,504 --> 00:09:29,340
How does lying about it
mean something?
179
00:09:29,465 --> 00:09:31,926
How could you use her
like that, Dad? Her death?
180
00:09:32,051 --> 00:09:35,138
- I was just trying to protect you.
- What else isn't true?
181
00:09:35,263 --> 00:09:37,348
She wasn't a teacher,
you just wanted me to read?
182
00:09:37,473 --> 00:09:38,850
What's that smell?
183
00:09:39,475 --> 00:09:41,477
I don't smell...
184
00:09:46,149 --> 00:09:47,233
We're gonna need a nurse.
185
00:09:47,358 --> 00:09:50,695
- What the hell?
- It's okay. We'll take care of it.
186
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:52,363
You didn't feel anything?
187
00:09:52,488 --> 00:09:53,489
No.
188
00:09:56,492 --> 00:09:58,161
- You feel that?
- Yeah.
189
00:09:58,286 --> 00:09:59,996
But you didn't feel
any of this?
190
00:10:00,121 --> 00:10:01,122
No.
191
00:10:12,717 --> 00:10:15,470
Sphincter paralysis plus shocks
equals Miller Fisher Syndrome.
192
00:10:15,595 --> 00:10:16,971
Not if you add
the stool sample,
193
00:10:17,096 --> 00:10:18,348
which is negative
for C. jejuni.
194
00:10:18,473 --> 00:10:21,601
He lied to his son
about how his mom died?
195
00:10:21,726 --> 00:10:23,353
CAMERON: He was just
protecting him.
196
00:10:23,478 --> 00:10:24,812
Manipulating him.
197
00:10:24,938 --> 00:10:27,523
- That's what parents do.
- They lie to us because they love us.
198
00:10:27,649 --> 00:10:28,858
Who's getting teary?
199
00:10:28,983 --> 00:10:30,360
Mom's death is irrelevant.
200
00:10:30,485 --> 00:10:32,195
DNA revealed no NF2 markers
201
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,738
or any other
inherited disease.
202
00:10:33,863 --> 00:10:36,449
Apparently, she really did
fall asleep at the wheel.
203
00:10:36,574 --> 00:10:39,244
So, what exactly
are we talking about here?
204
00:10:39,369 --> 00:10:43,206
A little peeker, or did the prairie
dog actually come out to play?
205
00:10:43,331 --> 00:10:45,667
- Excuse me?
- Are we talking explosive?
206
00:10:46,501 --> 00:10:48,962
(PHONE RINGING) The hemoccult
was negative for blood,
207
00:10:49,087 --> 00:10:53,967
and I wouldn't say he actually exploded.
More like gushed?
208
00:10:54,092 --> 00:10:56,177
Good, then we're
getting somewhere.
209
00:10:56,302 --> 00:10:57,345
Yeah? Where?
210
00:10:57,470 --> 00:10:59,347
I have no idea.
211
00:10:59,472 --> 00:11:00,473
- Of course.
- Hello?
212
00:11:00,598 --> 00:11:02,934
- Love the riddles.
- Hi, Mom.
213
00:11:03,059 --> 00:11:06,980
Look, I have a business dinner on
Thursday night. I can't get out of it.
214
00:11:08,106 --> 00:11:10,483
I know, I really
wanted to see you, too.
215
00:11:12,485 --> 00:11:15,363
Actually, can I call you back?
I'm in a meeting right now.
216
00:11:15,488 --> 00:11:16,864
Okay, thanks.
217
00:11:18,741 --> 00:11:19,826
Who was that?
218
00:11:19,951 --> 00:11:21,369
Angelina Jolie.
219
00:11:21,494 --> 00:11:24,664
I call her "Mom".
Who thinks that's sexy?
220
00:11:24,789 --> 00:11:26,791
So, explosive or gushing...
221
00:11:26,916 --> 00:11:29,127
She never calls here,
is everything okay?
222
00:11:30,545 --> 00:11:32,380
Great, yeah.
223
00:11:32,505 --> 00:11:34,465
My dad's taking her to Europe.
224
00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:37,010
They got a nine-hour layover
in Newark on Thursday.
225
00:11:37,135 --> 00:11:40,388
- If it's gastrointestinal...
- You lied to avoid seeing your own mom.
226
00:11:40,513 --> 00:11:43,766
Are you kidding?
I can't lie to my mom.
227
00:11:43,891 --> 00:11:45,268
Seriously, I can't.
228
00:11:45,393 --> 00:11:46,602
Wilson's invited me to dinner.
229
00:11:46,728 --> 00:11:49,272
It'd be rude to stand up a guy
who just loaned me 5 grand.
230
00:11:49,397 --> 00:11:51,190
Transverse myelitis.
231
00:11:51,316 --> 00:11:53,526
Could cause numbness,
anal sphincter dysfunction,
232
00:11:53,651 --> 00:11:54,652
and the shocks.
233
00:11:54,777 --> 00:11:57,405
Thank you for taking
no interest in my mother.
234
00:11:57,530 --> 00:11:58,906
But that begs the question,
235
00:11:59,032 --> 00:12:01,284
what caused
the transverse myelitis?
236
00:12:01,409 --> 00:12:03,661
Well, we've ruled out
cancer and MS.
237
00:12:03,786 --> 00:12:04,954
Leaves infection.
238
00:12:05,079 --> 00:12:06,456
If there was infection,
there'd be a fever.
239
00:12:06,581 --> 00:12:08,416
And his blood and CSF cultures
are all negative.
240
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:11,794
Maybe the infection's gone
but the memory remains.
241
00:12:12,503 --> 00:12:14,380
Molecular mimicry.
242
00:12:14,505 --> 00:12:15,882
Nice.
243
00:12:16,007 --> 00:12:19,510
Okay, get an immunoglobulin
level and electrophoresis.
244
00:12:23,473 --> 00:12:26,976
You're good, my friend.
I'm sure we'll meet again.
245
00:12:28,394 --> 00:12:30,355
Do you really think
that was his mom on the phone?
246
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,274
Probably, don't know
why he'd lie about that.
247
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:34,359
Who cares?
248
00:12:34,484 --> 00:12:36,986
You're not the least bit curious
what his parents are like?
249
00:12:37,111 --> 00:12:38,363
I'm sure his mom's
a piece of work.
250
00:12:38,488 --> 00:12:40,239
Only a mother
could do that much damage.
251
00:12:40,365 --> 00:12:41,991
My bet's he was born
the way he is.
252
00:12:42,116 --> 00:12:44,369
Probably torlnented his parents,
not the other way around.
253
00:12:44,494 --> 00:12:46,871
Yeah, he was either a fast
runner or one hell of a fighter.
254
00:12:46,996 --> 00:12:48,915
Where are you going?
255
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,376
You guys can handle
the tests, right?
256
00:12:57,507 --> 00:13:00,760
Is there something important that you
and House need to discuss over dinner?
257
00:13:00,885 --> 00:13:02,678
Other than
the skyrocketing
258
00:13:02,804 --> 00:13:04,597
interest rates
on personal loans?
259
00:13:04,722 --> 00:13:07,392
You know, this is the fourth
time I've loaned him money.
260
00:13:07,517 --> 00:13:09,602
Not lunch money, money-money.
261
00:13:09,727 --> 00:13:10,812
House's parents.
262
00:13:11,479 --> 00:13:13,981
They have a layover
in Newark Thursday evening.
263
00:13:16,859 --> 00:13:19,112
- I'm canceling dinner.
- No.
264
00:13:20,488 --> 00:13:23,825
I thought maybe you could just
invite a few more people.
265
00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:26,285
FOREMAN: An infectious
agent's molecular structure
266
00:13:26,411 --> 00:13:27,954
can resemble
the spinal card's.
267
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:29,956
And when the immune system
attacks the infection,
268
00:13:30,081 --> 00:13:32,625
it ends up attacking
the spinal card's as well.
269
00:13:33,376 --> 00:13:34,377
So he has an infection?
270
00:13:34,502 --> 00:13:35,461
They just said I don't.
271
00:13:35,586 --> 00:13:38,381
Even after the infection is gone,
it goes right on attacking
272
00:13:38,506 --> 00:13:39,632
because the spinal cord
is still there.
273
00:13:39,757 --> 00:13:40,758
KEN: ls there a treatment?
274
00:13:40,883 --> 00:13:43,052
Depends on what
the original infection was.
275
00:13:43,177 --> 00:13:44,053
All right, you're done.
276
00:13:44,178 --> 00:13:47,557
You need to lay flat after a
lumbar puncture for about an hour.
277
00:13:47,682 --> 00:13:49,600
I feel like
I'm gonna throw up.
278
00:13:49,725 --> 00:13:52,186
Hey, Dad, can you get me
a Coke, please?
279
00:13:52,311 --> 00:13:54,313
Yeah, that usually helps.
280
00:13:55,773 --> 00:13:57,233
You're done.
281
00:13:58,484 --> 00:13:59,569
If you're nauseous...
282
00:13:59,694 --> 00:14:02,363
No, I'm not nauseous.
I just want him out of here.
283
00:14:02,488 --> 00:14:05,199
He's your dad.
He's gonna be around.
284
00:14:05,324 --> 00:14:06,534
Yeah, I know.
285
00:14:07,577 --> 00:14:09,495
It's not that, it's...
286
00:14:10,788 --> 00:14:13,082
Are these people
completely incapable
287
00:14:13,207 --> 00:14:14,375
of telling the truth
to each other?
288
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,961
He went to Jamaica
with his friends.
289
00:14:17,086 --> 00:14:18,379
No wonder he lied.
290
00:14:18,504 --> 00:14:20,548
Children aren't supposed
to have good times.
291
00:14:20,673 --> 00:14:22,425
One of his friends
flew them down.
292
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:25,678
Carnell's dad has this thing about him
accepting stuff from rich friends.
293
00:14:25,803 --> 00:14:28,848
He wants him to remember who
he is, where he came from.
294
00:14:28,973 --> 00:14:30,099
Where have you been?
295
00:14:30,224 --> 00:14:32,643
Making dinner plans.
What's up?
296
00:14:32,768 --> 00:14:34,937
The boys have uncovered
the shocking fact
297
00:14:35,062 --> 00:14:38,024
that the patient has a crappy
relationship with his dad.
298
00:14:38,149 --> 00:14:40,234
- They seem to actually care.
- Well, I don't.
299
00:14:40,359 --> 00:14:42,653
There's only one reason any kid
with a plane flies to Jamaica.
300
00:14:42,778 --> 00:14:45,198
It wasn't for marijuana. He
doesn't do anything but drink.
301
00:14:45,323 --> 00:14:46,491
He said that to you
or his pops?
302
00:14:46,616 --> 00:14:48,659
Tex screen was negative
for THC .
303
00:14:49,368 --> 00:14:51,245
Spring break was over
a month ago.
304
00:14:51,370 --> 00:14:52,497
Even pot would have
washed out by now.
305
00:14:52,622 --> 00:14:54,040
Even if he'd smoked,
306
00:14:54,165 --> 00:14:56,501
no way marijuana
causes transverse myelitis.
307
00:14:56,626 --> 00:14:59,712
True. But the stuff
they put on it does.
308
00:14:59,837 --> 00:15:00,922
Pesticides.
309
00:15:01,047 --> 00:15:04,133
Well, why would he come clean about
the trip but lie about smoking pot?
310
00:15:04,258 --> 00:15:06,761
He wouldn't necessarily have to
smoke to get pesticide poisoning.
311
00:15:06,886 --> 00:15:08,763
He could have eaten fruit
that'd been sprayed,
312
00:15:08,888 --> 00:15:10,932
or been exposed
through his skin on a hike.
313
00:15:11,057 --> 00:15:13,559
Or he could have smoked it.
A lot of it.
314
00:15:13,684 --> 00:15:16,354
Then lied about it because
that's what this family does.
315
00:15:16,479 --> 00:15:18,689
Start him on IV pralidoxime.
Two grams per liter,
316
00:15:18,814 --> 00:15:21,526
and then one gram every eight hours
until you see some improvement.
317
00:15:21,651 --> 00:15:24,403
You have no evidence to support
a poisoning diagnosis.
318
00:15:24,529 --> 00:15:28,115
Which is why it's gonna be so
cool when I turn out to be right.
319
00:15:30,743 --> 00:15:32,036
Cameron.
320
00:15:33,162 --> 00:15:35,206
Who are you making
dinner plans with?
321
00:15:35,331 --> 00:15:36,415
No one.
322
00:15:41,504 --> 00:15:42,922
HOUSE: You bastard.
323
00:15:45,007 --> 00:15:47,510
You invited my parents
to dinner.
324
00:15:49,095 --> 00:15:50,471
Cameron's got a big mouth.
325
00:15:50,596 --> 00:15:51,639
Not as big as yours.
326
00:15:51,764 --> 00:15:54,850
Hey! You used me
to avoid seeing your parents.
327
00:15:54,976 --> 00:15:56,185
- Well, what do you care?
- I don't.
328
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:58,312
I just thought it might be
interesting to find out why.
329
00:15:58,437 --> 00:16:00,982
- You could've just asked.
- You would've lied.
330
00:16:01,107 --> 00:16:02,650
And you would've believed me.
331
00:16:02,775 --> 00:16:04,485
Which would've kept us
both happy.
332
00:16:06,028 --> 00:16:08,364
You want your money back?
Is that what this is about?
333
00:16:08,489 --> 00:16:09,532
No!
334
00:16:10,575 --> 00:16:13,411
Wait, have you got the money?
335
00:16:18,374 --> 00:16:20,668
If you have the money, then
why did you need theloan?
336
00:16:20,793 --> 00:16:23,254
I didn't. I just wanted to
see if you'd give it to me.
337
00:16:23,379 --> 00:16:25,172
I've been borrowing
increasing amounts
338
00:16:25,298 --> 00:16:27,633
ever since you lent me
$40 a year ago.
339
00:16:27,758 --> 00:16:28,843
A little experiment,
340
00:16:28,968 --> 00:16:30,886
to see
where you draw the line.
341
00:16:32,096 --> 00:16:36,058
You're trying
to objectively measure
342
00:16:36,183 --> 00:16:38,311
how much
I value our friendship?
343
00:16:38,436 --> 00:16:41,063
Hey, it's 5 grand. You've got
nothing to be ashamed of.
344
00:16:41,188 --> 00:16:45,276
So, what do you say? One little
phone call, one big check?
345
00:16:47,570 --> 00:16:48,696
Fine.
346
00:16:50,406 --> 00:16:51,532
Thanks.
347
00:16:52,158 --> 00:16:53,200
Now, be a grownup
348
00:16:53,326 --> 00:16:55,369
and either tell Mommy and Daddy
you don't wanna see them,
349
00:16:55,494 --> 00:16:58,164
or I'm picking you up
at 7:00 for dinner.
350
00:16:58,998 --> 00:17:00,249
What do you mean?
You just said that...
351
00:17:00,374 --> 00:17:01,751
I lied.
352
00:17:01,876 --> 00:17:03,961
I've been lying to you
in increasing amounts
353
00:17:04,086 --> 00:17:07,089
ever since I told you you looked
good unshaved a year ago.
354
00:17:07,214 --> 00:17:08,758
It's a little experiment,
you know,
355
00:17:08,883 --> 00:17:10,635
to see
where you draw the line.
356
00:17:12,428 --> 00:17:13,596
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
357
00:17:16,223 --> 00:17:17,099
CUDDY: How's the patient?
358
00:17:17,224 --> 00:17:18,726
Haven't been in yet, today.
359
00:17:18,851 --> 00:17:21,228
As long as he hasn't gotten
any worse.
360
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:24,106
We're treating him
for pesticide poisoning
361
00:17:24,231 --> 00:17:26,067
without any proof
of pesticides.
362
00:17:26,192 --> 00:17:27,234
I'm gonna have
a hell of a time
363
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,861
explaining that
to our lawyer.
364
00:17:28,986 --> 00:17:31,030
I told House not to...
365
00:17:34,575 --> 00:17:35,701
Wow.
366
00:17:36,619 --> 00:17:38,496
Lawyer's not gonna
believe this.
367
00:17:39,246 --> 00:17:41,123
He's got his appetite back.
368
00:17:42,166 --> 00:17:43,250
Whatever you did,
it's working.
369
00:17:44,418 --> 00:17:46,504
He's healthy,
so all is forgiven.
370
00:17:46,629 --> 00:17:48,089
Now I'm feeling nauseous.
371
00:17:48,214 --> 00:17:49,840
He is not healthy.
372
00:17:49,965 --> 00:17:52,093
Nausea and diarrhea
were not his only symptoms.
373
00:17:52,218 --> 00:17:53,552
The shocks
have also decreased.
374
00:17:53,678 --> 00:17:55,096
But not disappeared.
375
00:17:55,221 --> 00:17:56,180
And he's out of the diaper,
376
00:17:56,305 --> 00:17:57,598
which is good news
for everyone.
377
00:17:57,723 --> 00:17:59,392
What about
his low white count?
378
00:17:59,517 --> 00:18:02,645
Well, the little buggers
need time to grow.
379
00:18:02,770 --> 00:18:05,773
Don't worry, our wrestling
Rastafarian will be back on his feet
380
00:18:05,898 --> 00:18:08,901
and sneaking around behind
Pop's back again in no time.
381
00:18:09,026 --> 00:18:10,111
(PHONE RINGING)
382
00:18:10,236 --> 00:18:11,362
Yeah.
383
00:18:13,781 --> 00:18:15,241
Check it again.
384
00:18:17,034 --> 00:18:18,536
I'll be right there.
385
00:18:18,661 --> 00:18:20,037
What happened?
386
00:18:20,162 --> 00:18:21,288
Apparently I can save money
387
00:18:21,414 --> 00:18:24,125
by switching to another
long-distance carrier.
388
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:25,418
Oh, I was right, wasn't I?
389
00:18:25,543 --> 00:18:28,254
Oh, yeah, it's always
about you, isn't it?
390
00:18:29,255 --> 00:18:31,132
CAMERON: He has the chills
and his temperature's spiking.
391
00:18:31,257 --> 00:18:33,134
- It's nearly 106.
- KEN: What's that mean?
392
00:18:33,259 --> 00:18:34,719
I mean, what's happening?
393
00:18:34,844 --> 00:18:36,011
You want the truth,
394
00:18:36,137 --> 00:18:38,097
or you want me to make
something up to protect you?
395
00:18:38,222 --> 00:18:40,099
We think a drunk driver
broke into his room...
396
00:18:40,224 --> 00:18:42,059
What's happening to my son?
397
00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:46,856
The truth is I have no idea.
398
00:18:56,907 --> 00:18:59,285
There's the fever
that Cameron was looking for.
399
00:18:59,410 --> 00:19:01,620
We knew if it was myelitis,
there had to be an "-itis".
400
00:19:01,746 --> 00:19:03,539
This must be the infection
that set it off.
401
00:19:03,664 --> 00:19:06,751
Yeah. Except in this universe,
effect follows cause.
402
00:19:06,876 --> 00:19:08,043
I've complained about it,
but...
403
00:19:08,169 --> 00:19:09,128
Maybe the tests were wrong.
404
00:19:09,253 --> 00:19:12,423
No. The tests were right. Yesterday
he had no fever, no infection.
405
00:19:12,548 --> 00:19:14,842
So he just happened to catch
a bug while he was here?
406
00:19:14,967 --> 00:19:15,968
That's all this is?
407
00:19:16,093 --> 00:19:16,969
Yeah.
408
00:19:17,094 --> 00:19:19,388
Because his white blood cell count
was down, he was vulnerable.
409
00:19:19,513 --> 00:19:22,850
Because it's really down, it might
kill him. That's all this is.
410
00:19:22,975 --> 00:19:24,643
Is he still pooping his pants?
411
00:19:24,769 --> 00:19:26,145
It just started again.
412
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:27,229
Again?
413
00:19:27,354 --> 00:19:29,231
It stopped
when he was getting better.
414
00:19:30,274 --> 00:19:33,319
When he was feeling better.
He was never getting better.
415
00:19:33,444 --> 00:19:36,864
So, all we have to answer is,
what causes a 22-year-old kid
416
00:19:36,989 --> 00:19:38,324
to become immunocompromised
417
00:19:38,449 --> 00:19:40,117
with GI involvement
and shocks?
418
00:19:40,242 --> 00:19:42,036
Just stop and start
for no apparent reason.
419
00:19:42,161 --> 00:19:43,120
And we need
to find an answer
420
00:19:43,245 --> 00:19:44,497
before this infection
kills him.
421
00:19:44,622 --> 00:19:46,499
That would be the ideal.
422
00:19:46,624 --> 00:19:48,918
You. Intravenous
broad spectrum antibiotics.
423
00:19:49,043 --> 00:19:52,797
You get a cervical, thoracic, and
lumbar T2-weighted fast spin-echo MRI.
424
00:19:52,922 --> 00:19:55,966
And you, track down all those
Richie Rich's who went to Jamaica,
425
00:19:56,091 --> 00:19:59,428
see if any of them have got the
shocks, the trots or the hots.
426
00:20:00,513 --> 00:20:02,306
The hots, it's the fever.
427
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,061
You guys gonna join us
for dinner Thursday?
428
00:20:07,186 --> 00:20:08,729
Gotta do my laundry.
429
00:20:08,854 --> 00:20:10,523
You're not curious?
430
00:20:10,648 --> 00:20:13,818
I'm curious about crocs, but I don't
stick my head in their mouths.
431
00:20:13,943 --> 00:20:16,570
I'm out, too.
Look, House is a freak!
432
00:20:16,695 --> 00:20:19,365
There's no virus that causes
that, no DNA mutation.
433
00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:21,116
You're gonna have
one dinner with two people.
434
00:20:21,242 --> 00:20:24,203
Sixty minutes, most of it spent
chewing or talking about the weather.
435
00:20:24,328 --> 00:20:25,788
Unless they say
something like,
436
00:20:25,913 --> 00:20:27,790
"Do you prefer the
chardonnay or the merlot?"
437
00:20:27,915 --> 00:20:30,543
and, "Oh, we kept Greg locked
in a closet for 17 years".
438
00:20:30,668 --> 00:20:32,211
You're not gonna
learn anything.
439
00:20:32,336 --> 00:20:33,754
Okay-
440
00:20:33,879 --> 00:20:35,798
CAMERON: We'd like to talk
to some of your friends,
441
00:20:35,923 --> 00:20:37,508
see if they have
any similar symptoms.
442
00:20:37,633 --> 00:20:40,094
The doctors in the ER
already asked me that.
443
00:20:40,219 --> 00:20:41,136
We understand,
444
00:20:41,262 --> 00:20:43,472
but they didn't have all the
inforlnation that we have now.
445
00:20:43,597 --> 00:20:45,266
What kind of information?
446
00:20:47,810 --> 00:20:51,105
Would you mind if I spoke with
Carnell alone for a minute?
447
00:20:52,106 --> 00:20:53,148
Is this bad news?
448
00:20:53,274 --> 00:20:55,234
No. It's just confidential.
449
00:20:56,235 --> 00:20:58,612
Why is something
suddenly confidential?
450
00:20:58,737 --> 00:21:00,656
I mean, if you know
something about my son,
451
00:21:00,781 --> 00:21:02,116
I need to know
what's going on.
452
00:21:02,241 --> 00:21:04,618
I'm sorry, I have to insist.
453
00:21:04,743 --> 00:21:06,120
I'm his father,
454
00:21:06,245 --> 00:21:08,706
and if I'm going to take care of
him, I need to know the truth.
455
00:21:08,831 --> 00:21:09,957
Dad.
456
00:21:11,709 --> 00:21:14,503
She wants to know
who I went to Jamaica with.
457
00:21:14,628 --> 00:21:16,130
You've never been
to Jamaica.
458
00:21:16,255 --> 00:21:19,258
Taddy's dad flew a bunch of
us down over spring break.
459
00:21:22,261 --> 00:21:25,306
You told me you had two papers
to write over the break.
460
00:21:25,431 --> 00:21:29,143
'Cause I didn't want to come
home and work my ass off.
461
00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:32,479
I wanted an actual break
during a break for once.
462
00:21:35,316 --> 00:21:37,151
I shouldn't have lied to you.
463
00:21:37,276 --> 00:21:39,570
No, what you should have done
is come home
464
00:21:39,695 --> 00:21:42,114
instead of partying
with your rich friends.
465
00:21:42,239 --> 00:21:44,408
I'm sorry,
we need those names.
466
00:21:50,247 --> 00:21:51,498
What do you want?
467
00:21:52,249 --> 00:21:53,584
To apologize.
468
00:21:54,251 --> 00:21:57,504
I realize that my attention to the
clinic has been somewhat lax of late,
469
00:21:57,630 --> 00:21:59,757
and I wanna make amends.
470
00:21:59,882 --> 00:22:02,134
How about tomorrow night?
I take the night shift.
471
00:22:02,259 --> 00:22:03,844
The clinic's closed at night.
472
00:22:03,969 --> 00:22:06,472
Yeah, but I'm sure there's
plenty of things to be done,
473
00:22:06,597 --> 00:22:09,141
there's charts to be reviewed,
supplies inventoried...
474
00:22:09,266 --> 00:22:11,143
Dinners avoided.
475
00:22:11,268 --> 00:22:12,144
You're going, too?
476
00:22:12,269 --> 00:22:13,854
I love their Cobb Salad.
477
00:22:15,814 --> 00:22:17,149
Give me a reason
to get out of this,
478
00:22:17,274 --> 00:22:18,984
and I'll tell you
who started the rumor
479
00:22:19,109 --> 00:22:21,445
about you
being a transsexual.
480
00:22:21,570 --> 00:22:23,489
- There is no such rumor.
- There will be,
481
00:22:23,614 --> 00:22:25,199
unless you get me
out of this dinner.
482
00:22:25,324 --> 00:22:26,867
No one's making you
do this, House.
483
00:22:26,992 --> 00:22:28,369
Just do what
everybody else does.
484
00:22:28,494 --> 00:22:29,620
Lie to them.
485
00:22:29,745 --> 00:22:30,871
You lie to your mother?
486
00:22:30,996 --> 00:22:32,247
Only since I was 12!
487
00:22:32,373 --> 00:22:34,541
My mom's a human polygraph.
488
00:22:34,667 --> 00:22:37,044
My dad should be taking her
to Vegas, not the Louvre.
489
00:22:37,169 --> 00:22:39,546
Trust me, your mom
would much rather think
490
00:22:39,672 --> 00:22:42,424
you have a business meeting
than you hate her.
491
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:45,344
I don't hate her.
I hate him.
492
00:22:47,554 --> 00:22:50,724
TADDY: We all had headaches,
nausea, vomiting.
493
00:22:50,849 --> 00:22:52,184
You know,
we figured it was connected
494
00:22:52,309 --> 00:22:54,144
to the massive amounts
of drinking.
495
00:22:54,269 --> 00:22:56,146
What, you think
what happened to Came“
496
00:22:56,271 --> 00:22:57,147
has something
to do with the trip?
497
00:22:57,272 --> 00:22:58,399
Don't know.
498
00:22:58,524 --> 00:23:00,150
You haven't had
any unexplained pain
499
00:23:00,275 --> 00:23:01,652
or strange feelings
since you got back?
500
00:23:01,777 --> 00:23:04,738
No, except for a little
athlete's foot, I'm fine.
501
00:23:04,863 --> 00:23:06,281
Can I see it?
502
00:23:07,032 --> 00:23:08,534
- See what?
- Your feet.
503
00:23:08,659 --> 00:23:12,162
There's a common parasite
in Jamaica
504
00:23:12,287 --> 00:23:14,581
that can resemble
foot fungus.
505
00:23:16,208 --> 00:23:17,793
It's not really my feet.
506
00:23:18,669 --> 00:23:21,005
You know,
I figured fungus is fungus.
507
00:23:22,756 --> 00:23:24,091
It's my groin.
508
00:23:25,843 --> 00:23:28,137
I'm going to need
to take a look at that.
509
00:23:28,262 --> 00:23:29,138
Now?
510
00:23:29,263 --> 00:23:31,140
Unless you wanna come down
to the hospital with me.
511
00:23:31,265 --> 00:23:33,142
No, no, I can't. I mean,
I just started two days ago.
512
00:23:33,267 --> 00:23:34,935
We're right in the middle
of a big merger...
513
00:23:35,060 --> 00:23:36,478
Then drop your pants.
514
00:23:51,744 --> 00:23:54,955
Reilly, I need the...
What the hell's going on here?
515
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,081
She's a doctor.
516
00:23:56,206 --> 00:23:58,167
I'm a doctor, he has a rash,
and a friend of his is...
517
00:23:58,292 --> 00:24:01,003
Right. Well, as soon as
she's done treating your rash,
518
00:24:01,128 --> 00:24:02,379
I need the numbers
on D-Port Technology.
519
00:24:02,504 --> 00:24:03,672
Yes, sir.
520
00:24:03,797 --> 00:24:07,301
And, Doctor, why don't you
leave a card on your way out?
521
00:24:15,476 --> 00:24:17,144
Except for one guy
with a rash,
522
00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:19,229
no one else on the trip
has any health issues.
523
00:24:19,354 --> 00:24:20,355
What kind of rash?
524
00:24:20,481 --> 00:24:22,107
I don't know,
I took some scrapings,
525
00:24:22,232 --> 00:24:23,692
it doesn't
appear to be ringworm.
526
00:24:23,817 --> 00:24:26,570
What did it look like,
aside from "not ringworm"?
527
00:24:26,695 --> 00:24:28,155
Basically like diaper rash.
528
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,448
He's been working
around the clock,
529
00:24:29,573 --> 00:24:31,533
he said he hasn't changed
his clothes in three days.
530
00:24:31,658 --> 00:24:33,452
Kaposi's Sarcoma
can look like diaper rash.
531
00:24:33,577 --> 00:24:35,162
Any discoloration
around the edges?
532
00:24:35,287 --> 00:24:37,164
Get him in here.
We all wanna take a look.
533
00:24:37,289 --> 00:24:39,291
Even if it is Kaposi's,
it's not related.
534
00:24:39,416 --> 00:24:40,918
Our patient doesn't
have any skin symptoms
535
00:24:41,043 --> 00:24:42,419
and we've already
ruled out cancer.
536
00:24:42,544 --> 00:24:44,171
What are the odds
of two friends
537
00:24:44,296 --> 00:24:46,131
who just returned from a
trip outside the country
538
00:24:46,256 --> 00:24:48,717
coming down with unexplained
but unrelated illnesses?
539
00:24:48,842 --> 00:24:50,135
Get him in here.
CAMERON: He won't come.
540
00:24:50,260 --> 00:24:51,678
Just started a new job
after graduation,
541
00:24:51,804 --> 00:24:53,138
they're working
on some big merger.
542
00:24:53,263 --> 00:24:55,099
Tell him his friend's life
hangs in the balance.
543
00:24:55,224 --> 00:24:56,975
That's what I told him
the first time.
544
00:24:57,101 --> 00:24:59,645
Still wound up
driving into Manhattan.
545
00:24:59,770 --> 00:25:02,022
Tell him his life
hangs in the balance.
546
00:25:02,147 --> 00:25:03,774
Tell him the rash
is flesh-eating,
547
00:25:03,899 --> 00:25:07,069
and the next course on the
menu is his frank and beans.
548
00:25:10,614 --> 00:25:12,366
Where's Stacy?
549
00:25:12,491 --> 00:25:15,077
Speaking at a conference in Baltimore.
Why, what do you need?
550
00:25:15,202 --> 00:25:16,203
Can I subpoena a patient?
551
00:25:16,328 --> 00:25:18,580
House wants me to lie to the
kid to get him in here.
552
00:25:18,705 --> 00:25:20,707
Well, then you'll be the one
getting the subpoena.
553
00:25:20,833 --> 00:25:23,168
Well, we do need him
to diagnose his friend.
554
00:25:23,293 --> 00:25:24,461
Take the test to the kid.
555
00:25:24,586 --> 00:25:27,172
There is no test, House
just wants to look at it.
556
00:25:27,297 --> 00:25:28,799
Then take House to it.
557
00:25:28,924 --> 00:25:30,509
Yeah,
like that's gonna happen.
558
00:25:32,427 --> 00:25:34,138
Tell House his parents called.
559
00:25:34,263 --> 00:25:35,848
Said they were
coming in early.
560
00:25:35,973 --> 00:25:38,267
He'll go anywhere
just to avoid them.
561
00:25:40,435 --> 00:25:43,772
So, it's okay to lie to House
but not to a patient?
562
00:25:43,897 --> 00:25:45,023
Yup.

CAMERON: What's going on?
568
00:26:01,206 --> 00:26:04,084
- We need a surgeon and an OR, stat!
- On it.
569
00:26:05,294 --> 00:26:07,212
Try to hang in there, Carnell.
570
00:26:16,221 --> 00:26:19,057
The infection caused a perforation
in his sigmoid colon.
571
00:26:19,183 --> 00:26:20,225
It's repairable.
572
00:26:20,350 --> 00:26:22,227
But it means the antibiotics
aren't working.
573
00:26:22,352 --> 00:26:24,730
Double the dose,
and add Tygacil to the list.
574

Where's Richie Rich?
576
00:26:27,649 --> 00:26:29,484
He said he can't leave work.
577
00:26:29,610 --> 00:26:31,445
Yeah, you told me that
two hours ago.

I'm not gonna lie.
579
00:26:33,155 --> 00:26:36,074
Why, 'cause it's wrong?
Or because you're a coward?
580
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,284
Tough choice.
581
00:26:37,409 --> 00:26:40,204
You'd be wasting two hours
of the kid's time.
582
00:26:40,329 --> 00:26:43,248
Is that deeply and unforgivably
morally wrong? No.
583
00:26:43,373 --> 00:26:46,793
Because it's not a waste of his time.
Unless we're wrong.

Unless his condition's got
nothing to do with his friend's.

of being wrong.

He's vomited in excess
of three units of blood.
597
00:27:27,209 --> 00:27:29,253
- He needs to be admitted before...
- If you wanted to be a doctor,
598
00:27:29,378 --> 00:27:31,880
maybe you should have buckled down
a little more in high school.

were you and Carnell?

Not so close.

Look, we're not gay.

Carnell didn't have any time
to hang out with anybody.

00:27:58,448 --> 00:27:59,658
It's not fungus.

told you that.

Came“ worked there
during breaks.
619
00:28:18,802 --> 00:28:19,761
You lied.

00:28:19,886 --> 00:28:21,096
What are you talking about?

00:28:21,221 --> 00:28:23,348
Oh, yeah, of course,
in this family,

00:28:23,473 --> 00:28:25,559
you probably
need more specifics.
623
00:28:25,684 --> 00:28:28,854
You told us you owned a construction
company, not a salvage yard.

00:28:28,979 --> 00:28:30,272
I know the way things work.
625

The better my job, the
better my son gets treated.

filet mignon on you.

the last time he worked for you?

No.
630
00:28:41,158 --> 00:28:42,075
Braided wire?
631
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,661
Metal weights on each end, a
lead canister, maybe just a lid.
632
00:28:44,786 --> 00:28:46,747
Probably used it as a doorstop
or a paperweight.
633
00:28:46,872 --> 00:28:48,415
Why would he wanna...
634
00:28:50,208 --> 00:28:52,252
Okay, here it comes.
635
00:28:52,377 --> 00:28:54,087
I gave him
an early graduation gift,
636
00:28:54,212 --> 00:28:56,506
an old plumb I found,
looks like a fishing weight.
637
00:28:56,631 --> 00:29:00,093
Put it on a keychain, so he'd
always remember where he came from.
638
00:29:00,218 --> 00:29:02,095
So he could lie
about it later?
639
00:29:02,220 --> 00:29:04,973
- Where's the keychain?
- I don't know, he never used it.
640
00:29:05,098 --> 00:29:06,433
Just kept it
as a good luck charm.
641
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:09,144
- Kept it where?
- I don't know.
642
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:12,105

00:29:14,441 --> 00:29:16,234
In the bureau
back in his regular room.

- You two, get it to radiology.
- His clothes?

00:29:18,945 --> 00:29:20,906
The bureau. Don't open it.

It mightn't have caused
nerve damage,

but it definitely destroyed
his immune system.
658

The piece of metal
you gave Carnell
664
00:30:35,939 --> 00:30:39,025
was from an industrial device
used to test wells.

00:31:21,818 --> 00:31:24,779
Yeah. He's gonna need
a bone marrow transplant.
680
00:31:26,865 --> 00:31:29,826
And we did
another PET scan.
681
00:31:29,951 --> 00:31:34,080
There's a cavernous angioma within
his spinal cord, it's a tumor.
682
00:31:34,206 --> 00:31:38,126
That's what's been causing
the shocks and CNS symptoms.
683
00:31:38,251 --> 00:31:41,713
He has a tumor
inside of his spinal cord?
684
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:46,593
The cord is made of strands
685
00:31:46,718 --> 00:31:49,471
put together,
sort of like a kite string.
686
00:31:49,596 --> 00:31:54,142
The surgeon should be able to pull the
strands apart and excise the tumor.
687
00:31:54,267 --> 00:31:58,855
But surgery on someone who's as
hemopoetically compromised as your son
688
00:32:00,065 --> 00:32:01,775
is extremely risky.
689
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:12,869
And,
690
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,749
if you don't do the surgery?
I mean...
691
00:32:17,874 --> 00:32:20,877
The tumor could cause
his breathing to stop.
692
00:32:21,586 --> 00:32:23,338
Possibly his heart as well.
693
00:32:27,217 --> 00:32:29,844
There's no way
you could have known.
694
00:32:41,856 --> 00:32:43,608
Now, you're gonna
have to come with us.
695
00:32:43,733 --> 00:32:44,818
You need to start
treatment yourself.
696
00:32:44,943 --> 00:32:46,611
No. No, no.
697
00:32:47,862 --> 00:32:49,739
I can start
my treatment later.
698
00:32:49,864 --> 00:32:51,157
But he can't.
699
00:32:51,866 --> 00:32:55,954
He needs to be in a sterile isolation
room to prevent further infections.
700
00:33:03,128 --> 00:33:04,879
- Mom.
- We're early.
701
00:33:05,547 --> 00:33:08,508
- It's great to see you.
- Oh, Greg, don't lie.
702
00:33:11,678 --> 00:33:13,471
We came at a bad time,
didn't we?
703
00:33:13,597 --> 00:33:17,475
Actually, yeah, I think
I have to take a rain check.
704
00:33:17,601 --> 00:33:20,478
Oh, plans have been made.
Wilson made them.
705
00:33:21,187 --> 00:33:22,564
I asked him to cancel.
706
00:33:22,689 --> 00:33:24,858
I'm dealing with a kind of a
complicated case right now so...
707
00:33:24,983 --> 00:33:26,693
Well, we'll just come back
708
00:33:26,818 --> 00:33:28,862
when things aren't
so out of control.
709
00:33:29,863 --> 00:33:31,281
My team is busy.
710
00:33:31,406 --> 00:33:32,574
You don't wanna see us.
711
00:33:32,699 --> 00:33:34,159
Mom, don't make me
feel guilty.
712
00:33:34,284 --> 00:33:36,161
No, no, of course not.
Sorry.
713
00:33:36,286 --> 00:33:39,372
I've got a patient who's probably
gonna die of radiation poisoning.
714
00:33:39,497 --> 00:33:41,666
So that means you can't eat?
715
00:33:43,168 --> 00:33:45,795
Come on, let's grab a
bite in the cafeteria.
716
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,672
I'll buy you a Reuben.
717
00:33:51,384 --> 00:33:52,761
Well, I guess
I got time for a sandwich.
718
00:33:52,886 --> 00:33:53,887
Good.
719
00:33:57,891 --> 00:33:58,767
Yeah?
720
00:33:58,892 --> 00:34:00,226
I just wanted
to let you know
721
00:34:00,352 --> 00:34:01,728
that Carnell's prepped
for surgery.
722
00:34:01,853 --> 00:34:03,229
Thank you.
723
00:34:04,856 --> 00:34:09,277
Hi, I'm Allison Cameron.
I work with your son.
724
00:34:09,402 --> 00:34:10,945
Greg's told us
all about you.
725
00:34:11,071 --> 00:34:12,072
Really?
726
00:34:13,782 --> 00:34:14,741
New, huh?
727
00:34:14,866 --> 00:34:16,326
Nope, just gullible.
728
00:34:16,451 --> 00:34:19,162
I'm sorry, I was just
making fun of my son,
729
00:34:19,287 --> 00:34:20,747
not of you.
730
00:34:20,872 --> 00:34:22,957
We were just about to go
to get something to eat,
731
00:34:23,083 --> 00:34:24,751
would you care to join us?
732
00:34:28,421 --> 00:34:30,757
You don't have
a lot of time with your son.
733
00:34:30,882 --> 00:34:32,884
Maybe another time.
734
00:34:42,102 --> 00:34:45,146
- Do you like the Beatles?
- They're all right.
735
00:34:46,439 --> 00:34:49,401
My 12-year-old just turned
me back on to them.
736
00:34:51,861 --> 00:34:54,823
McCartney's gotta have
more money than God.
737
00:34:56,408 --> 00:34:59,035
I think that's all of it.
Reverse him.
738
00:35:00,161 --> 00:35:01,830
How's he doing?
739
00:35:03,164 --> 00:35:06,459
- Looks pretty good down here.
- Do I rock, or what?
740
00:35:07,419 --> 00:35:09,045
(BEEPING) NURSE: His
pressure's dropping!
741
00:35:09,170 --> 00:35:11,047
- Give him another two units.
- I did already!
742
00:35:11,172 --> 00:35:12,924
His heart rate's falling.
743
00:35:13,049 --> 00:35:14,884
CHASE: He's hemorrhaging.
744
00:35:22,976 --> 00:35:25,937
They're talking about Mom's
last trip to the dentist.
745
00:35:26,896 --> 00:35:28,773
Grown children
talking to their parents,
746
00:35:28,898 --> 00:35:30,483
nothing gets talked about.
747
00:35:30,608 --> 00:35:32,902
Trust me,
you're not missing anything.
748
00:35:34,821 --> 00:35:36,990
So, besides work,
what you been up to?
749
00:35:37,115 --> 00:35:38,158
Not much.
750
00:35:38,283 --> 00:35:40,785
MR. HOUSE: You always
say that, "Not much".
751
00:35:41,411 --> 00:35:42,787
It's always the answer.
752
00:35:42,912 --> 00:35:45,415
Any new babes
you might wanna tell me about?
753
00:35:45,540 --> 00:35:47,417
Leave him alone, John.
754
00:35:48,293 --> 00:35:49,878
Got a new motorcycle.
755
00:35:51,963 --> 00:35:53,506
Might have seen it out front,
756
00:35:53,631 --> 00:35:55,800
it's orange
with a gigantic scrape.
757
00:35:55,925 --> 00:35:58,136
Is it the one
in the handicapped parking?
758
00:35:58,261 --> 00:35:59,345
Yeah.
759
00:36:00,096 --> 00:36:01,806
Looks like crap,
but it drives great.
760
00:36:01,931 --> 00:36:04,142
Well, you'll be careful,
right?
761
00:36:04,267 --> 00:36:06,770
Last I checked,
you still have two legs.
762
00:36:06,895 --> 00:36:08,146
Actually, three.
763
00:36:09,397 --> 00:36:11,065
You know what
your problem is, Greg?
764
00:36:11,191 --> 00:36:12,567
Shifting gears?
765
00:36:12,692 --> 00:36:15,236
You just don't know
how lucky you are.
766
00:36:18,990 --> 00:36:20,784
Where's the head?
767
00:36:27,874 --> 00:36:29,876
Well, good thing
we got that cleared up.
768
00:36:30,001 --> 00:36:32,003
Oh, he was just
trying to help.
769
00:36:32,128 --> 00:36:33,671
I don't need help.
770
00:36:33,797 --> 00:36:35,048
I know.
771
00:36:35,173 --> 00:36:38,259
You're absolutely perfect
just the way you are.
772
00:36:55,777 --> 00:36:56,861
Thank you.
773
00:37:02,909 --> 00:37:05,912
So, how much longer do you
think he'll be in surgery?
774
00:37:06,037 --> 00:37:07,747
It's hard to say.
775
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:21,761
You know, he just
started school when Ann died.
776
00:37:22,428 --> 00:37:23,805
I was a mess.
777
00:37:27,267 --> 00:37:30,728
Still adjusting to being a parent,
much less a single parent.
778
00:37:32,313 --> 00:37:36,484
You know, I used to put cold
pancakes in his lunch box.
779
00:37:37,986 --> 00:37:39,737
I mean,
that was the only thing
780
00:37:39,863 --> 00:37:41,698
I could make
that he would eat.
781
00:37:42,782 --> 00:37:45,535
- You did okay, he's a good kid.
- Yeah.
782
00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:53,418
Hey. So, how is he?
783
00:37:54,752 --> 00:37:57,422
Well, the surgeon
has removed the tumor
784
00:37:57,547 --> 00:37:59,591
without damaging
the spinal cord.
785
00:37:59,716 --> 00:38:02,260
But, the infection has caused
786
00:38:02,385 --> 00:38:04,596
another
intestinal perforation.
787
00:38:05,763 --> 00:38:06,723
We stopped the bleeding,
788
00:38:06,848 --> 00:38:08,850
but his white count
keeps falling.
789
00:38:08,975 --> 00:38:10,143
Okay-
790
00:38:13,313 --> 00:38:16,608
So what now? Another drug,
antibiotics, what?
791
00:38:19,319 --> 00:38:20,737
I'm sorry.
792
00:38:21,863 --> 00:38:24,073
The reality is,
no matter what we give him,
793
00:38:24,198 --> 00:38:27,994
it's unlikely he's gonna be able
to fight off the infections.
794
00:38:53,061 --> 00:38:54,520
Okay, okay'
795
00:38:56,648 --> 00:38:57,774
(ENGINE ROARING)
796
00:39:01,486 --> 00:39:04,197
The father and the friend are
responding well to treatment.
797
00:39:04,322 --> 00:39:07,116
Things aren't looking
so good for Carnell.
798
00:39:08,493 --> 00:39:09,786
Thank you,
799
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:12,080
for not eating.
800
00:39:14,958 --> 00:39:16,793
It was none of my business.
801
00:39:18,836 --> 00:39:21,089
They seem perfectly pleasant,
don't they?
802
00:39:21,798 --> 00:39:22,799
They are.
803
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,886
He was a marine pilot.
She was a housewife.
804
00:39:27,887 --> 00:39:31,307
Married 47 years,
they had one child.
805
00:39:33,059 --> 00:39:34,769
Mom is just
like everyone else,
806
00:39:35,812 --> 00:39:37,355
she's nice enough,
807
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,441
no great sense of humor,
hates confrontation.
808
00:39:41,818 --> 00:39:43,778
My dad's just like you.
809
00:39:44,529 --> 00:39:47,448
Not the caring till
your eyes pop out part,
810
00:39:48,366 --> 00:39:50,159
just the insane moral compass
811
00:39:50,284 --> 00:39:52,662
that won't let you lie
to anybody about anything.
812
00:39:52,787 --> 00:39:54,664
It's a great quality
for Boy Scouts
813
00:39:54,789 --> 00:39:56,249
and police witnesses.
814
00:39:58,209 --> 00:40:00,253
Crappy quality for a dad.
815
00:40:15,393 --> 00:40:16,519
Hey.
816
00:40:17,603 --> 00:40:18,771
How you doing?
817
00:40:19,397 --> 00:40:20,815
I'm hanging in there.
818
00:40:26,362 --> 00:40:28,781
I'm sorry
I lied to you about Mom.
819
00:40:30,783 --> 00:40:32,910
I'm sorry I lied to you,
too.
820
00:40:35,663 --> 00:40:38,666
There was nothing good
that came out of her dying.
821
00:40:38,791 --> 00:40:40,126
I'm not mad.
822
00:40:41,794 --> 00:40:43,755
I know why you did it.
823
00:40:45,798 --> 00:40:47,008
It worked.
824
00:40:48,843 --> 00:40:50,803
I never drink and drive.
825
00:40:57,310 --> 00:40:58,811
I'm scared, Dad.
826
00:41:03,441 --> 00:41:04,776
Come on.
827
00:41:06,444 --> 00:41:08,780
There's nothing
to be scared of.
828
00:41:09,572 --> 00:41:11,282
You're gonna be just fine.
829
00:41:11,407 --> 00:41:12,575
Don't play me.
830
00:41:14,368 --> 00:41:16,245
I wanna know the truth.
831
00:41:17,622 --> 00:41:19,665
I'm telling you the truth.
832
00:41:21,167 --> 00:41:23,795
You're gonna be fine, I swear.
833
00:41:30,802 --> 00:41:32,428
I love you, Dad.
834
00:41:34,806 --> 00:41:36,516
I love you, too.
835
00:41:51,906 --> 00:41:55,034
Why does he hate
seeing his parents?
836
00:41:55,159 --> 00:41:58,830
So his dad tells the truth,
he can't handle that?
837
00:41:58,955 --> 00:42:01,457
He hates
being a disappointment.
838
00:42:01,582 --> 00:42:03,960
He's a doctor, world famous.
839
00:42:05,086 --> 00:42:07,380
How disappointed
can they be?
840
00:42:08,798 --> 00:42:10,174
You know what I figure
is worse
841
00:42:10,299 --> 00:42:12,552
than watching your son
become crippled?
842
00:42:13,553 --> 00:42:15,638
Watching him be miserable.
