1
00:00:02,774 --> 00:00:04,735
Try not to be
scared when you see him, okay?
2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:07,904
Mom, I've seen him sick.
I'm not scared.
3
00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:09,031
This time's different.
4
00:00:09,156 --> 00:00:11,408
The doctors gave him an extra course
of radiation and chemo...
5
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:12,951
I know.
6
00:00:13,201 --> 00:00:16,663
And you understand how proud
we are of you, right?
7
00:00:17,998 --> 00:00:19,416
Gloves, mask.
8
00:00:58,872 --> 00:01:02,084
Matty, you said you wanted to see your
brother before the procedure.
9
00:01:03,669 --> 00:01:07,964
I know I look like an alien,
but I promise not to eat your brain.
10
00:01:08,298 --> 00:01:09,883
(CHUCKLES)
11
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:14,471
When this is done, will you be able
to play out back with me?
12
00:01:15,055 --> 00:01:17,432
I'll rip anything you
put near the strike zone.
13
00:01:18,183 --> 00:01:21,103
Let your brother rest up,
while we take some of your marrow.
14
00:01:29,528 --> 00:01:31,655
You don't need to be
in an isolation room,
15
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:34,866
but I pulled some strings so you could
be next door to your brother.
16
00:01:34,991 --> 00:01:36,493
How many games will I miss?
17
00:01:36,618 --> 00:01:38,161
Well, you only have
to be here overnight,
18
00:01:38,286 --> 00:01:39,913
but you do have to
take it easy for a little bit.
19
00:01:40,038 --> 00:01:41,164
- I already missed two.
- Matty...
20
00:01:41,289 --> 00:01:42,916
I know. It's okay.
21
00:01:43,458 --> 00:01:44,918
It must have been a drag.
22
00:01:45,043 --> 00:01:46,962
We just had to make sure
you weren't exposed to any bugs,
23
00:01:47,087 --> 00:01:49,548
because your healthy bone marrow
is what's gonna cure
24
00:01:49,673 --> 00:01:51,216
your brother's leukemia.
25
00:02:51,067 --> 00:02:52,068
(GROWLS)
26
00:02:53,862 --> 00:02:55,030
Go on.
27
00:03:20,055 --> 00:03:21,932
(BARKING)
28
00:03:30,232 --> 00:03:33,109
CHASE: He sneezed.
Maybe it's just an allergy.
29
00:03:33,235 --> 00:03:35,445
Not with an enlarged spleen
and a fever.
30
00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:38,281
WILSON: He's got one of 10,000
possible infections,
31
00:03:38,406 --> 00:03:41,827
even if it's just the common cold, I do
the transplant, he kills his brother.
32
00:03:41,952 --> 00:03:42,953
How long do we have?
33
00:03:43,078 --> 00:03:44,996
Radiation obliterated
his immune system.
34
00:03:45,121 --> 00:03:49,501
Even in a clean room,
he's got four, maybe five, days left.
35
00:03:49,626 --> 00:03:52,504
No way we can solve this that fast.
You need to find another donor.
36
00:03:52,629 --> 00:03:53,713
They're African American.
37
00:03:53,839 --> 00:03:56,007
It makes it nearly impossible
to find a full match.
38
00:03:56,132 --> 00:03:59,010
Tell me about it. I can't even find
the one I've got working for me.
39
00:03:59,553 --> 00:04:01,096
Where is Foreman?
40
00:04:09,062 --> 00:04:12,899
Nothing like a dead patient to send you
back to your choir boy roots.
41
00:04:14,025 --> 00:04:16,903
Hey, you're not gonna
believe what happened.
42
00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:19,239
Wilson just killed a kid
same way you did.
43
00:04:19,364 --> 00:04:20,532
He's not dead.
44
00:04:20,657 --> 00:04:24,870
Five days are gonna fly by. He didn't
look both ways before he nuked.
45
00:04:25,704 --> 00:04:27,622
You done talking to
your imaginary friend?
46
00:04:27,747 --> 00:04:29,708
Because I thought, maybe,
you could do your job and just...
47
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:32,794
Start the donor brother
on broad-spectrum antibiotics.
48
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:35,797
Great idea, if you're looking
to save exactly one kid.
49
00:04:35,922 --> 00:04:39,259
Broad-spec will take at least a week
to work. We need narrow-spec.
50
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:40,635
How old is Hector?
51
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,345
Our patient's name is Matty.
His brother's Nick.
52
00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:45,056
Hector's my dog.
He's about 17?
53
00:04:45,181 --> 00:04:50,103
Seventeen? That's, like, a 119 in human
years. Why is he still alive?
54
00:04:50,228 --> 00:04:53,523
Five days minus 20 seconds
talking about Wilson's dog.
55
00:04:53,648 --> 00:04:56,651
We need to start testing. Stool samples
for parasites, antibody tests...
56
00:04:56,776 --> 00:04:58,737
Blood panel was negative
for all the usual suspects.
57
00:04:58,862 --> 00:05:00,906
That's because the
infection is too small.
58
00:05:01,031 --> 00:05:03,867
We start testing now, it's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.
59
00:05:03,992 --> 00:05:06,745
We draw blood, odds are we're just
gonna come up with hay.
60
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:08,914
We need to
grow more needles.
61
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:15,545
Okay, that probably needs
further explanation.
62
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:17,297
We make the donor kid sicker.
63
00:05:17,422 --> 00:05:19,925
We freeze him, we soak him,
break down his immune system.
64
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:22,093
Suddenly we're looking at some needle
that a camel
65
00:05:22,218 --> 00:05:23,219
can pass through the eye of.
66
00:05:23,345 --> 00:05:26,264
Making him sicker risks spreading the
infection all throughout his body.
67
00:05:26,389 --> 00:05:28,058
True, but who cares?
68
00:05:28,183 --> 00:05:30,727
Once we know what the infection is,
we'll know exactly how to treat it.
69
00:05:30,852 --> 00:05:32,437
As long as he isn't dead yet,
we're cool.
70
00:05:32,562 --> 00:05:33,855
We should do
what we normally do.
71
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:36,107
Go to the kid's house,
check for sources of the infection.
72
00:05:36,232 --> 00:05:37,817
Waste of time.
73
00:05:37,943 --> 00:05:40,362
You think it's in the house.
I know it's in the patient.
74
00:05:40,487 --> 00:05:42,822
Safer than intentionally
making the kid sicker.
75
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,617
Fine, go.
76
00:05:52,499 --> 00:05:56,419
So exactly how sick
are you gonna make Matty?
77
00:05:56,628 --> 00:05:58,046
He could get quite ill.
78
00:05:58,171 --> 00:06:00,298
It certainly won't be a pleasant
experience for anyone,
79
00:06:00,423 --> 00:06:01,257
but it's our only...
80
00:06:01,383 --> 00:06:04,010
Ever get caught in the rain
without an umbrella?
81
00:06:04,135 --> 00:06:06,221
That's all we're
talking about here. Sign the form.
82
00:06:06,346 --> 00:06:09,933
It's a little more complicated than
that. We'll also be doing leukapheresis.
83
00:06:10,058 --> 00:06:11,518
We run Matty's blood
through a machine
84
00:06:11,643 --> 00:06:12,894
that filters out
his white blood cells.
85
00:06:13,019 --> 00:06:15,689
But without his white cells,
how could he get better in time?
86
00:06:15,814 --> 00:06:18,733
We'll pump the white blood cells back
as soon as we have a diagnosis.
87
00:06:18,858 --> 00:06:21,403
Then we should be able to cure the
infection in time to do the transplant.
88
00:06:21,528 --> 00:06:22,737
But you can't guarantee?
89
00:06:22,862 --> 00:06:25,824
We're not GM.
No recalls, no rebates.
90
00:06:25,949 --> 00:06:28,910
Anymore questions
while your son's life slips away?
91
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,002
You really think
we should do this?
92
00:06:37,377 --> 00:06:38,628
Yes.
93
00:06:38,837 --> 00:06:41,589
Sorry. Your patient,
you tell them.
94
00:06:44,426 --> 00:06:47,554
This is your family.
It needs to be your decision.
95
00:06:56,146 --> 00:06:58,940
All you had to do was
say, "Yes, I do."
96
00:06:59,065 --> 00:07:01,359
God knows it's a phrase that you've used
often enough in your life.
97
00:07:01,526 --> 00:07:04,487
It was a mistake every time.
Give it a break. They said yes.
98
00:07:04,612 --> 00:07:07,073
That's not enough for you. You need them
to feel good about saying yes.
99
00:07:07,198 --> 00:07:10,994
I treat patients for months,
maybe years, not weeks, like you.
100
00:07:11,119 --> 00:07:12,078
I'm taller.
101
00:07:12,203 --> 00:07:13,830
If they don't trust me,
I can't do my job.
102
00:07:13,955 --> 00:07:16,624
The only value of that trust
is that you can manipulate them.
103
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,084
You should write
greeting cards.
104
00:07:18,209 --> 00:07:21,004
Giving the parents a chance
to make a bad choice was a bad choice.
105
00:07:21,129 --> 00:07:22,380
At least it would have
been their choice.
106
00:07:22,505 --> 00:07:25,633
One they'd regret
at their son's funeral.
107
00:07:26,176 --> 00:07:28,303
Kitchen and bathrooms were immaculate.
108
00:07:28,428 --> 00:07:30,263
Whatever the kid's got,
he didn't get here.
109
00:07:30,722 --> 00:07:34,726
No, whatever the kid got, he didn't get
from the kitchen or the bathroom.
110
00:07:34,851 --> 00:07:36,227
Nobody cleans swing sets.
111
00:07:36,352 --> 00:07:40,023
Yeah, because their kid's 10
and hasn't used it since he was six.
112
00:07:40,273 --> 00:07:44,235
You obviously think your time could be
better spent. Why'd you come along?
113
00:07:45,361 --> 00:07:46,905
You feel bad about
what happened last week.
114
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:48,198
I'm handling it.
115
00:07:48,323 --> 00:07:49,657
Think the family's gonna sue?
116
00:07:50,075 --> 00:07:52,160
She only had her grandparents,
and they weren't close.
117
00:07:52,285 --> 00:07:54,662
Well, that's good.
For you, I mean.
118
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:57,248
A lawsuit makes it even harder
to put behind you.
119
00:07:57,373 --> 00:07:59,375
You put yours behind you?
120
00:08:00,293 --> 00:08:01,503
Nope.
121
00:08:04,756 --> 00:08:06,966
When I woke up
this morning I...
122
00:08:07,092 --> 00:08:09,469
I couldn't remember what she was wearing
when I admitted her.
123
00:08:10,136 --> 00:08:10,970
Memories fade.
124
00:08:11,179 --> 00:08:14,015
I killed her a week ago and I can't
remember what color top she was wearing.
125
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:17,811
I was grateful when
I could wake up not thinking about her.
126
00:08:18,061 --> 00:08:18,895
I'm not like you.
127
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:22,482
Your patient died because you were
distracted over the death of your dad.
128
00:08:22,607 --> 00:08:24,442
I made a calculated decision.
129
00:08:26,027 --> 00:08:31,199
You acted like a human being.
I acted like House.
130
00:08:42,794 --> 00:08:45,505
Could be Mucor or
Strongyloides in this dirt.
131
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:49,509
No pulmonary symptoms,
setting well, breathing easily.
132
00:09:09,404 --> 00:09:11,114
Mom, I'm freezing.
133
00:09:15,285 --> 00:09:17,829
How long do I have to wait?
134
00:09:17,954 --> 00:09:20,498
Matty, we found an old water pump
in your backyard.
135
00:09:20,623 --> 00:09:21,541
You ever drink from it?
136
00:09:21,666 --> 00:09:23,418
Yeah, it was gross.
137
00:09:23,543 --> 00:09:25,753
We gotta test
for Mycobacteria, leptospirosis.
138
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:27,046
When did you drink the water?
139
00:09:27,422 --> 00:09:28,631
Last summer?
140
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:33,970
You sure? You haven't even taken a sip
to cool off?
141
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:35,763
It was really gross.
142
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:39,350
My shoulder's bugging me.
Does that matter?
143
00:09:39,809 --> 00:09:42,353
It could. Did you
do anything to hurt it?
144
00:09:42,478 --> 00:09:46,065
Just threw the ball around
the other day, for a couple hours.
145
00:09:46,191 --> 00:09:49,068
It's probably just a muscle ache.
Let us know if it gets worse.
146
00:09:51,654 --> 00:09:56,868
So soreness and stuff,
that's not 'cause I'm sick?
147
00:09:56,993 --> 00:09:58,536
Is something else bugging you?
148
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,333
Sort of.
149
00:10:06,461 --> 00:10:08,755
- He has acute scrotum.
- Adorable.
150
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,216
Please, I thought you
were dignified.
151
00:10:11,507 --> 00:10:14,427
Come on, how am I not supposed
to make that joke?
152
00:10:14,552 --> 00:10:18,389
Best thing about big, honking gonads,
well, one of the best things,
153
00:10:18,514 --> 00:10:20,975
is that there's only
a few infections that could cause it.
154
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:22,393
Do urinalysis and cultures
155
00:10:22,518 --> 00:10:25,230
for E. coli, Klebsiella, TB,
and Brucella.
156
00:10:25,355 --> 00:10:27,941
Blood tests for enteroviruses
and adenoviruses.
157
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,569
Hopefully, the needles have grown as
fast as his sack, and we can find it.
158
00:10:31,694 --> 00:10:33,488
Can Chase and Cameron
cover that?
159
00:10:35,657 --> 00:10:36,824
Mind if I ask why?
160
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:40,495
I want to recheck the National Marrow
registry for an alternate donor.
161
00:10:41,537 --> 00:10:42,622
In case we're wrong?
162
00:10:42,914 --> 00:10:44,082
It's been known to happen.
163
00:10:46,292 --> 00:10:47,585
Fine, go.
164
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,471
Negative for E. coli and TB.
Why is House taking it easy on Foreman?
165
00:10:58,638 --> 00:10:59,597
He deserves a break.
166
00:10:59,722 --> 00:11:02,058
Yeah, House is all about
giving breaks to people in need.
167
00:11:02,725 --> 00:11:04,560
No on Klebsiella.
168
00:11:06,813 --> 00:11:08,564
And it's Tuesday.
169
00:11:09,232 --> 00:11:12,527
It's got nothing to do with
Foreman or House. It's just...
170
00:11:12,735 --> 00:11:17,031
It's the day I remind you I like you,
and I want us to be together.
171
00:11:17,865 --> 00:11:20,034
Thank you, I'd forgotten.
172
00:11:23,037 --> 00:11:26,124
No on Brucella
and both viral antibodies.
173
00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:27,917
You're really gonna
do this every Tuesday?
174
00:11:28,042 --> 00:11:31,129
You take the day off,
I'll pick it up on Wednesday.
175
00:11:33,423 --> 00:11:34,882
What if we're looking for
the wrong thing?
176
00:11:35,008 --> 00:11:37,135
These are the only infections
that cause swollen testicles.
177
00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:40,013
Why don't you just say it four times now
and leave me alone for a month?
178
00:11:40,138 --> 00:11:41,639
Well, what if it's
not an infection?
179
00:11:41,764 --> 00:11:43,975
His temperature's through the roof.
There's mucous pouring out of him.
180
00:11:44,225 --> 00:11:45,143
I know he has an infection,
181
00:11:45,268 --> 00:11:47,603
but what if it didn't directly
cause the scrotum issue?
182
00:11:47,895 --> 00:11:52,275
What if it just caused
the thing that caused the scrotum issue?
183
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,152
CK-MB is elevated.
184
00:11:56,112 --> 00:11:57,864
Slightly.
There's nothing wrong with...
185
00:11:58,072 --> 00:12:00,241
Indicates cardiac injury.
186
00:12:02,493 --> 00:12:03,745
We stuck him in that room,
187
00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:06,164
put his stupid, little runny-nose
infection into hyperdrive.
188
00:12:06,289 --> 00:12:07,623
What if it went to his heart?
189
00:12:13,046 --> 00:12:15,048
CHASE: Pulmonary valve looks clean.
190
00:12:15,173 --> 00:12:18,885
Wait. Stop. Mitral valve,
there's a growth.
191
00:12:20,928 --> 00:12:23,890
He'll need a month
of antibiotics to clear that.
192
00:12:24,015 --> 00:12:26,184
His brother only has
four days to live.
193
00:12:33,691 --> 00:12:36,235
The infection in Matty's
mitral valve rules him out as a donor.
194
00:12:36,361 --> 00:12:37,236
This is perfect.
195
00:12:37,362 --> 00:12:38,905
We drove the infection
into his heart.
196
00:12:39,322 --> 00:12:42,700
Okay, perfect is too strong of a word,
but it's very, very good.
197
00:12:43,242 --> 00:12:45,203
Now we know
where the infection is.
198
00:12:45,328 --> 00:12:47,789
All we've got to do is remove
the valve, ID the infection,
199
00:12:47,914 --> 00:12:48,998
target and destroy it.
200
00:12:49,123 --> 00:12:49,957
Remove the valve?
201
00:12:50,083 --> 00:12:53,002
He'll be fine on antibiotics.
He doesn't need open-heart surgery.
202
00:12:53,127 --> 00:12:56,172
He'll be heartbroken,
on account of his dead brother.
203
00:12:56,297 --> 00:13:00,009
Either way he's got a dead brother.
The infection isn't just in the valve.
204
00:13:00,134 --> 00:13:01,511
Even with targeted medication,
205
00:13:01,636 --> 00:13:03,304
there's no way
we can clear his system in time.
206
00:13:03,429 --> 00:13:06,182
We don't have to.
We have to clear his marrow.
207
00:13:06,307 --> 00:13:08,518
After the surgery,
we harvest the marrow,
208
00:13:08,768 --> 00:13:11,979
marinate it in the targeted
antibiotic, simmer and serve.
209
00:13:12,939 --> 00:13:15,024
- Could work.
- It's insane.
210
00:13:15,316 --> 00:13:16,442
It is better than
a dead brother.
211
00:13:16,567 --> 00:13:19,112
I'm running this by Cuddy.
212
00:13:19,237 --> 00:13:22,198
Fine. Go.
In fact, let's all go.
213
00:13:25,868 --> 00:13:28,162
This surgery is dangerous
and life-altering,
214
00:13:28,287 --> 00:13:30,123
and clearly not in
the interest of our patient.
215
00:13:30,248 --> 00:13:31,749
It is, if he
likes his brother.
216
00:13:31,874 --> 00:13:33,000
We have a conflict
of interests.
217
00:13:33,126 --> 00:13:34,460
WILSON: The parents don't.
218
00:13:34,585 --> 00:13:35,420
FOREMAN: Of course they do.
219
00:13:35,545 --> 00:13:38,172
They already sacrificed Matty's health
to benefit his brother once.
220
00:13:38,297 --> 00:13:39,924
They made his cold worse.
221
00:13:40,049 --> 00:13:42,260
We screwed up his heart valve
by making his cold worse.
222
00:13:42,385 --> 00:13:43,803
Do you have anything
to add to this debate?
223
00:13:43,928 --> 00:13:45,513
Wilson's right.
Foreman's wrong.
224
00:13:45,638 --> 00:13:48,307
Your shirt is way too
revealing for the office.
225
00:13:50,601 --> 00:13:51,853
What do you want me to do?
226
00:13:52,061 --> 00:13:55,106
We should call child services and have
them appoint a guardian for Matty.
227
00:13:56,023 --> 00:13:56,983
No.
228
00:13:57,316 --> 00:14:00,445
Go explain the choices to the parents,
and don't let House bully them.
229
00:14:03,656 --> 00:14:05,408
House.
230
00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:07,243
Did he really think I was gonna do that?
231
00:14:07,368 --> 00:14:08,202
I didn't.
232
00:14:08,327 --> 00:14:10,371
- Then, why did you let him...
- I'm trying to cut him some slack.
233
00:14:10,705 --> 00:14:11,747
Nice of you.
234
00:14:12,999 --> 00:14:14,333
I think he's got the yips.
235
00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:19,922
Steve Blass, Scott Norwood,
David Duval all got the yips.
236
00:14:20,339 --> 00:14:23,926
Great athletes, lost their confidence
and immediately started sucking.
237
00:14:24,302 --> 00:14:27,221
And you're giving him time
to work through it?
238
00:14:29,056 --> 00:14:31,392
Four days, and he's fired.
239
00:14:33,644 --> 00:14:35,897
You don't get better
from the yips.
240
00:14:38,357 --> 00:14:40,276
Open-heart surgery?
241
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,363
If you want both kids to live,
it's the only choice.
242
00:14:44,530 --> 00:14:46,032
Due to the valve replacement,
243
00:14:46,157 --> 00:14:48,993
Matty will have to be on blood thinners
to prevent potential clots.
244
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,411
- For how long?
- Forever.
245
00:14:50,536 --> 00:14:52,914
He couldn't participate
in contact sports,
246
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:53,998
because of the risk of hemorrhage.
247
00:14:54,123 --> 00:14:56,918
What about the marrow registry?
Maybe they'll find a match.
248
00:14:57,043 --> 00:14:59,003
Maybe they'll ride it here
on a unicorn.
249
00:14:59,128 --> 00:15:01,214
I'm afraid finding
a viable new donor
250
00:15:01,339 --> 00:15:04,634
isn't something we can
realistically depend on.
251
00:15:08,346 --> 00:15:11,307
Either we cripple one son,
or kill the other.
252
00:15:11,432 --> 00:15:16,521
He won't be able to play baseball.
That doesn't make him a cripple.
253
00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:20,274
What should we do?
254
00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:32,662
You should protect your family as a
whole. You should do the surgery.
255
00:15:35,498 --> 00:15:37,833
- That was awesome.
- Shut up.
256
00:15:38,125 --> 00:15:39,752
I gotta start
pretending to care.
257
00:15:39,877 --> 00:15:41,546
I did exactly what
Cuddy told us not to do.
258
00:15:41,671 --> 00:15:43,839
No you didn't. You did exactly
what she told me not to do.
259
00:15:43,965 --> 00:15:45,925
You're completely
in the clear.
260
00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:47,927
Oh, you've got to be
kidding me.
261
00:15:48,052 --> 00:15:50,263
You're actually upset.
You just said what you believed.
262
00:15:50,388 --> 00:15:52,557
I also believe in patients
making their own choices.
263
00:15:52,682 --> 00:15:55,017
Because it lessens your guilt
if things go wrong.
264
00:15:55,142 --> 00:15:57,937
You're not protecting their choices.
You're soothing your conscience.
265
00:15:58,062 --> 00:15:59,480
By that logic, a sociopath
266
00:15:59,605 --> 00:16:02,024
would make the best patient
advocate in the world.
267
00:16:02,858 --> 00:16:04,151
Am I blushing?
268
00:16:11,701 --> 00:16:12,910
You ready?
269
00:16:13,578 --> 00:16:14,787
Yeah.
270
00:16:15,913 --> 00:16:17,331
Thanks.
271
00:16:17,665 --> 00:16:19,125
You'd do the same for me.
272
00:16:29,635 --> 00:16:31,554
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
273
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:33,931
You think I'll be better in time
to pitch in the playoffs?
274
00:16:35,057 --> 00:16:36,601
Maybe next season.
275
00:16:41,606 --> 00:16:43,357
We should have told him.
276
00:16:43,482 --> 00:16:46,485
He loves his brother, but if he
understood what we were asking of him...
277
00:16:46,611 --> 00:16:49,155
He loves his brother
more than he loves baseball.
278
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,823
You did the right thing.
279
00:16:51,657 --> 00:16:53,743
Putting any part
of this decision on him...
280
00:16:54,118 --> 00:16:57,330
It's impossible for you guys
to deal with this.
281
00:16:57,455 --> 00:16:59,040
How's a 10-year-old
supposed to do it?
282
00:17:15,348 --> 00:17:17,058
Cannula in place.
283
00:17:19,852 --> 00:17:21,646
Sutures are holding.
284
00:17:26,817 --> 00:17:28,569
We're all set to go.
285
00:17:29,111 --> 00:17:31,072
Switch him over to bypass.
286
00:17:56,013 --> 00:17:58,140
(WOMAN CHATTERING ON TV)
287
00:17:59,058 --> 00:18:00,893
(PHONE RINGING)
288
00:18:09,443 --> 00:18:11,570
- Yeah?
- I didn't do the surgery.
289
00:18:11,696 --> 00:18:13,864
You woke me up
to tell me that you're lazy?
290
00:18:13,989 --> 00:18:16,075
We biopsied a piece
before we started cutting.
291
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,743
I'm tired. Get to the point.
292
00:18:17,868 --> 00:18:19,078
We didn't replace the valve
293
00:18:19,203 --> 00:18:21,831
because the growth was fibrous tissue.
it wasn't infectious.
294
00:18:22,206 --> 00:18:23,290
We've got to be wrong about...
295
00:18:23,416 --> 00:18:24,792
- Oh, God.
- What?
296
00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:25,835
You know what's wrong
with Matty?
297
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,796
I think Hector's
committed suicide.
298
00:18:28,921 --> 00:18:29,755
What are you talking about?
299
00:18:30,131 --> 00:18:30,965
He took some pills.
300
00:18:31,090 --> 00:18:32,633
Is he alive?
301
00:18:32,758 --> 00:18:34,343
He ate half my stash.
302
00:18:35,302 --> 00:18:37,346
Of course he's...
303
00:18:37,471 --> 00:18:38,889
(GRUNTS)
304
00:18:43,978 --> 00:18:47,398
He's stoned. I'll be right in.
305
00:18:52,987 --> 00:18:55,030
We cut all the way
into this kid's heart,
306
00:18:55,197 --> 00:18:58,784
and all we got was this lousy,
non-infectious fibrous tissue.
307
00:18:58,909 --> 00:19:00,244
How did we miss this?
308
00:19:00,453 --> 00:19:03,372
Matty had a fever. He got sicker when we
suppressed his immune system.
309
00:19:03,497 --> 00:19:04,957
That all points to infection.
310
00:19:05,082 --> 00:19:08,753
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not our fault. Fibrous tissue.
311
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:12,673
Something is turning
his healthy heart valve into gristle.
312
00:19:12,798 --> 00:19:17,511
Fibrous tissue, enlarged spleen,
fever... Could mean autoimmune.
313
00:19:20,097 --> 00:19:22,516
Autoimmune diseases aren't passed along
in bone marrow.
314
00:19:22,641 --> 00:19:24,977
He can still donate.
We confirm, I do the surgery.
315
00:19:25,144 --> 00:19:28,522
Lupus and Behgefs are our best bet.
Do an ANA and pathergy test.
316
00:19:28,647 --> 00:19:30,566
Or it could be infection.
317
00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:32,568
My memory's not
what it used to be,
318
00:19:32,693 --> 00:19:35,154
but didn't we just
rule that out eight seconds ago?
319
00:19:35,362 --> 00:19:37,031
Just because it's not
what screwed up his valve,
320
00:19:37,156 --> 00:19:38,365
it doesn't mean
it's not in his system.
321
00:19:38,491 --> 00:19:42,036
Uh-huh, and has the obvious
advantage of making us right all along.
322
00:19:42,161 --> 00:19:44,288
Little disadvantage
of making big brother dead.
323
00:19:44,413 --> 00:19:46,165
That's your argument? A better outcome?
324
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:47,124
It fits.
325
00:19:47,249 --> 00:19:50,544
The family has one kid
with leukemia and one with autoimmune.
326
00:19:50,669 --> 00:19:52,046
I wouldn't stand next to them
in a rain storm.
327
00:19:52,171 --> 00:19:54,256
That's your argument?
It sucks for them?
328
00:19:54,381 --> 00:19:56,467
It fits, and we can
still help big brother.
329
00:19:56,592 --> 00:19:59,011
National Marrow Registry
came up with four out of six donors.
330
00:19:59,136 --> 00:20:01,597
Six out of six is two better
than four out of six, right?
331
00:20:01,722 --> 00:20:03,390
I mean, I know two
is so small,
332
00:20:03,516 --> 00:20:05,893
but since it means that he's gonna get
Graft-Versus-Host Disease,
333
00:20:06,018 --> 00:20:09,563
the marrow will attack his body,
and he'll die a painful death.
334
00:20:11,023 --> 00:20:13,150
Find out what
autoimmune it is.
335
00:20:19,532 --> 00:20:23,077
Is this autoimmune better or worse
than the new heart valve?
336
00:20:23,202 --> 00:20:25,037
It depends on which autoimmune
it is.
337
00:20:25,162 --> 00:20:26,914
With early detection,
most are manageable.
338
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:28,290
How long will testing take?
339
00:20:28,415 --> 00:20:29,750
That's the other good thing
about this.
340
00:20:29,875 --> 00:20:31,794
There's literally
thousands of possible infections,
341
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:33,838
but only a handful of
autoimmune conditions.
342
00:20:33,963 --> 00:20:35,673
We'll have the answer
in a few hours.
343
00:20:35,798 --> 00:20:36,882
NICK: Hey, Doctor?
344
00:20:40,177 --> 00:20:41,554
Is this bad?
345
00:20:50,187 --> 00:20:52,022
Wanna catch a movie?
346
00:20:52,147 --> 00:20:53,274
It's one in the morning.
347
00:20:53,399 --> 00:20:55,067
I know a place.
348
00:20:55,192 --> 00:20:58,028
Although, I wouldn't recommend
wearing those shoes.
349
00:20:58,153 --> 00:21:01,615
How exactly does a dog
unscrew a bottle of pills?
350
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:02,825
Is that a riddle?
351
00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:04,326
It requires
an opposable thumb.
352
00:21:04,451 --> 00:21:05,494
I must have left it off.
353
00:21:05,619 --> 00:21:06,662
On the floor?
354
00:21:06,787 --> 00:21:08,247
I think he hopped up
onto the bathroom counter.
355
00:21:08,372 --> 00:21:09,748
He has arthritis.
356
00:21:13,752 --> 00:21:16,881
- Not me this time.
- No! It's your damn dog.
357
00:21:18,048 --> 00:21:22,177
He chews everything. I was missing
a file. Found paper in his stool.
358
00:21:22,303 --> 00:21:25,306
An original Sun Record 78
Elvis recording, gone.
359
00:21:25,431 --> 00:21:28,142
Who the hell chews vinyl?
He's vindictive.
360
00:21:29,184 --> 00:21:32,396
He's had a good, long life.
It's his time.
361
00:21:32,521 --> 00:21:33,814
Are you okay?
362
00:21:34,023 --> 00:21:36,984
I just tripped over
Wilson's self-righteousness.
363
00:21:37,776 --> 00:21:39,361
What do you got?
364
00:21:39,778 --> 00:21:42,072
Matty's negative for everything.
It's not autoimmune.
365
00:21:42,197 --> 00:21:43,532
So, we're back to infection.
366
00:21:43,657 --> 00:21:45,743
Nick's starting
to deteriorate fast.
367
00:21:45,868 --> 00:21:47,036
He's got bruising
all over his arms.
368
00:21:47,161 --> 00:21:48,370
His capillaries
are leaking blood.
369
00:21:48,495 --> 00:21:50,039
If it happens in his brain,
he's dead.
370
00:21:50,164 --> 00:21:52,708
We've got to go
with the four-out-of-six donor.
371
00:21:52,875 --> 00:21:56,003
Did I mention my concerns
about four being less than six?
372
00:21:56,545 --> 00:21:59,089
Wilson's first wife
ignored a similar issue.
373
00:21:59,214 --> 00:22:01,467
Of course, that time,
it was only fatal to their marriage.
374
00:22:01,592 --> 00:22:04,345
It's either that, or we start
randomly testing Matty for infections.
375
00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:06,055
I know how you hate
the word "random."
376
00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:09,892
Do it alphabetically. We're not doing
that damn transplant.
377
00:22:11,060 --> 00:22:12,102
Where's Foreman?
378
00:22:12,227 --> 00:22:13,854
We've found a donor.
379
00:22:13,979 --> 00:22:17,816
It's not an ideal match, but four out
of six still gives Nick a chance.
380
00:22:25,574 --> 00:22:28,869
A partial match transplant
is extremely dangerous.
381
00:22:28,994 --> 00:22:29,912
Doctor Foreman explained...
382
00:22:30,037 --> 00:22:33,791
Did he also explain what sort of pain
your son will experience
383
00:22:33,916 --> 00:22:36,627
- if he gets Graft-Versus-Host Disease?
- Yes.
384
00:22:36,752 --> 00:22:39,088
Apparently, he didn't explain it
vividly enough.
385
00:22:39,213 --> 00:22:40,172
Let me give it a whack...
386
00:22:40,422 --> 00:22:42,633
He also explained that if we did
nothing,
387
00:22:42,758 --> 00:22:45,135
Nick could start
bleeding into his brain.
388
00:22:45,260 --> 00:22:49,223
Matty is a perfect match. Just give us
a little more time to figure out...
389
00:22:49,348 --> 00:22:50,391
How much time?
390
00:22:50,516 --> 00:22:52,267
Doctor House is
the best diagnostician...
391
00:22:52,393 --> 00:22:54,103
How much time?
392
00:22:55,896 --> 00:22:56,814
I don't know.
393
00:22:57,231 --> 00:23:01,568
And Nick can start bleeding into
his brain without any warning?
394
00:23:01,694 --> 00:23:04,571
Yes, but the chances of
complications from a mismatch are...
395
00:23:04,697 --> 00:23:06,448
My boys have suffered enough.
396
00:23:07,116 --> 00:23:08,283
Get Matty better,
397
00:23:08,701 --> 00:23:12,746
and give Nick the transplant
from the new donor.
398
00:23:18,711 --> 00:23:20,254
Foreman screwed us.
399
00:23:20,379 --> 00:23:22,715
No, you screwed us.
400
00:23:23,424 --> 00:23:25,968
What is the point in being able
to control people
401
00:23:26,093 --> 00:23:27,928
if you won't actually do it?
402
00:23:28,053 --> 00:23:30,889
It's like training a dog and
letting him go on your rug,
403
00:23:31,015 --> 00:23:31,849
which, by the way...
404
00:23:31,974 --> 00:23:33,767
Once Foreman got his mitts
on them, well, there was no way...
405
00:23:33,892 --> 00:23:37,646
You don't explain chances
and probabilities, you lie to them.
406
00:23:37,771 --> 00:23:40,607
You tell them Foreman's a moron, which
isn't even much of a lie right now.
407
00:23:40,733 --> 00:23:41,567
You've got to talk to him.
408
00:23:41,692 --> 00:23:42,943
I've got no problem
with what Foreman did.
409
00:23:43,068 --> 00:23:45,029
He undercut us,
and he may have cost that kid his life.
410
00:23:45,154 --> 00:23:48,365
Foreman did what he thought was right.
You, on the other hand, sucked out.
411
00:23:49,074 --> 00:23:49,908
When the decision
really mattered,
412
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:51,952
you didn't have the guts
to tell them what to do.
413
00:23:52,411 --> 00:23:54,830
If that kid dies,
it's because Foreman was wrong,
414
00:23:54,955 --> 00:23:56,290
and because you're a coward.
415
00:24:30,115 --> 00:24:33,035
Oh, goodness,
I've left my door open.
416
00:24:33,744 --> 00:24:40,292
My poor dog must have run away and been
hit by a car or a truck or a train.
417
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:42,336
Or an anvil.

420

He's still here!

(HECTOR YELPS)
423
00:25:30,384 --> 00:25:32,261
How are you feeling?
424
00:25:32,386 --> 00:25:33,387
A little itchy.
425
00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:36,640
It's weird, huh?
426
00:25:37,182 --> 00:25:40,227
You still have no idea
what's wrong with me,
427
00:25:40,352 --> 00:25:41,854
but those meds will
make me better.
428
00:25:42,146 --> 00:25:46,441
We put you on a variety of medications
that will fight all kinds of infections.
429
00:25:47,693 --> 00:25:51,780
Nick, you know exactly
what's wrong with him,
430
00:25:51,905 --> 00:25:53,615
but maybe he's gonna die,
anyway.
431
00:25:53,824 --> 00:25:55,200
Hopefully,
the new marrow will...
432
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:56,827
I can't go in there, can I?
433
00:26:01,790 --> 00:26:03,250
Your infection would kill him.
434
00:26:04,668 --> 00:26:09,715
So, I won't be able to
be with him when he dies?
435
00:26:10,841 --> 00:26:13,886
You'll be able to be with him
when he gets better.
436
00:26:17,514 --> 00:26:18,682
What's wrong?
437
00:26:18,807 --> 00:26:19,933
It really itches.
438
00:26:29,026 --> 00:26:30,360
Hello?
439
00:26:42,831 --> 00:26:44,791
Why am I meeting you here?
440
00:26:44,917 --> 00:26:48,045
You're paying for my new cane.
It was your dog.
441
00:26:48,587 --> 00:26:51,381
So, that's it?
You call me a coward, life goes on?
442
00:26:51,506 --> 00:26:53,842
Apparently. You showed up.
443
00:26:55,844 --> 00:26:57,012
Hey.
444
00:27:00,390 --> 00:27:01,892
I'm sorry.

(BELL DINGING)
446
00:27:10,734 --> 00:27:12,527
You're pathetic.
I didn't actually mean that.
447
00:27:12,694 --> 00:27:15,405
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't to infinity.
448
00:27:15,530 --> 00:27:16,657
Yes, you did.
449
00:27:16,865 --> 00:27:18,617
- You're pathetic.
- Yeah?
450
00:27:19,451 --> 00:27:20,619
When?
451
00:27:21,745 --> 00:27:23,747
What did the labs say?
452
00:27:29,795 --> 00:27:32,130
Why don't you buy your cane
at a medical supply store
453
00:27:32,256 --> 00:27:33,382
like a normal cripple?
454
00:27:33,507 --> 00:27:35,008
Fewer bitching choices.
455
00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:38,303
Okay. What do you got
in bitching?
456
00:27:38,637 --> 00:27:39,763
Right this way.
457
00:27:40,847 --> 00:27:41,682
That was Cameron.
458
00:27:41,807 --> 00:27:45,060
The kid that wasn't all that
sick is now all that sick.
459
00:27:45,185 --> 00:27:47,145
- He's bleeding out of his ears.
- Blood counts?
460
00:27:47,271 --> 00:27:48,563
Down.
461
00:27:48,689 --> 00:27:49,940
Schistocytes on the smear?
462
00:27:50,357 --> 00:27:53,902
His body's not making new blood cells.
His bone marrow's crashing.
463
00:27:54,111 --> 00:27:55,529
This is
one of our top sellers.
464
00:27:56,738 --> 00:27:59,533
It's a little too Marilyn Manson
in a retirement home.
465
00:28:00,325 --> 00:28:02,035
The meds are suppressing
his bone marrow.
466
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,288
Or the infection's doing it.
467
00:28:05,455 --> 00:28:06,498
Pretty cool.
468
00:28:06,623 --> 00:28:10,043
Genuine bull penis,
stretched over a metal rod.
469
00:28:12,296 --> 00:28:14,381
Penis canes are murder.
470
00:28:15,507 --> 00:28:16,383
Right.
471
00:28:16,675 --> 00:28:18,176
Let me see the one on the end.
472

You got it.
473
00:28:19,594 --> 00:28:20,971
We need to stop Matty's meds.
474
00:28:21,096 --> 00:28:24,182
If the marrow rebounds, it's the meds.
If it doesn't, it's an infection.
475
00:28:24,308 --> 00:28:25,600
And if it's the infection?
476
00:28:25,726 --> 00:28:28,312
Maybe I was wrong
about which kid's gonna die.
477
00:28:34,026 --> 00:28:36,111
Bitching.
478
00:28:56,631 --> 00:28:58,050
Flames?
479
00:28:58,633 --> 00:29:02,137
It makes it look like I'm going fast.
Now, how's our dying kids?
480
00:29:02,429 --> 00:29:04,389
Nick's developed blisters
all over his feet and legs.
481
00:29:04,514 --> 00:29:06,600
He's got grade four
Graft-Versus-Host.
482
00:29:06,725 --> 00:29:08,393
Increase his dosage
of methylprednisolone.
483
00:29:08,518 --> 00:29:10,312
Already did. It's not working.
484
00:29:11,438 --> 00:29:13,106
Feeling guilty?
485
00:29:14,107 --> 00:29:15,525
I did the right thing.
486
00:29:15,650 --> 00:29:17,027
Always a comfort.
487
00:29:17,861 --> 00:29:20,280
Okay, what's
the other kid's status?
488
00:29:20,405 --> 00:29:21,323
We're done with Nick?
489
00:29:21,531 --> 00:29:22,824
God is done with Nick.
490
00:29:22,949 --> 00:29:24,659
We know what he has.
We know how to treat it.
491
00:29:24,910 --> 00:29:28,038
We're doing it, it's not working.
Life is for the living.
492
00:29:28,163 --> 00:29:30,082
Matty's been off his meds
for a few hours,
493
00:29:30,207 --> 00:29:31,583
but his blood count's still tanking.
494
00:29:31,708 --> 00:29:33,877
Means the meds aren't to blame.
It's the infection.
495
00:29:34,002 --> 00:29:37,964
If we don't get this under control, his
blood will literally turn into water.
496
00:29:42,219 --> 00:29:44,137
Cultures still
aren't growing anything.
497
00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:45,138
Why not?
498
00:29:45,263 --> 00:29:49,518
Because you did the right thing.
Convinced the parents to treat the kid.
499
00:29:49,643 --> 00:29:51,561
All you did was yank the weed
out of the ground.
500
00:29:51,686 --> 00:29:55,190
Its roots are still killing their
beautiful lawn. We just can't see it.
501
00:29:55,315 --> 00:29:57,025
If we can't see it,
we don't know what it is.
502
00:29:57,150 --> 00:29:58,902
If we don't know what it is,
we can't kill it.
503
00:30:00,904 --> 00:30:03,740
So we got to wait for it
to grow back again.
504
00:30:04,282 --> 00:30:06,576
Now, the soil is arid.
505
00:30:07,577 --> 00:30:10,831
So both he and his brother
will be dead by the time...
506
00:30:16,878 --> 00:30:20,674
What if the dandelion
was in fertile soil?
507
00:30:21,842 --> 00:30:24,594
What if we take the roots
from Matty, and put them in Nick?
508
00:30:24,719 --> 00:30:27,013
Turn the kid into
a petri dish, only better.
509
00:30:27,139 --> 00:30:28,932
A petri dish can't
tell you when it hurts.
510
00:30:29,057 --> 00:30:31,017
You want to give him
his brother's infection?
511
00:30:31,143 --> 00:30:33,770
The very thing we've been trying to
avoid since the brother sneezed?
512
00:30:33,895 --> 00:30:36,773
- Leukemia kid's got no defenses.
- Which is why he'll die.
513
00:30:36,898 --> 00:30:39,818
But before he does,
the infection will spread fast.
514
00:30:39,943 --> 00:30:43,155
Fast enough to tell us
what it is, in time to save his brother.
515
00:30:48,910 --> 00:30:50,912
Do you see any other way?
516
00:30:53,415 --> 00:30:57,419
WILSON: The infection
is decimating Matty's bone marrow.
517
00:30:57,544 --> 00:31:04,342
But if we give that marrow to Nick, his
symptoms could let us diagnose Matty.
518
00:31:04,468 --> 00:31:06,761
- But, it'll kill Nick.
- Yes.
519
00:31:07,512 --> 00:31:09,014
You're...
520
00:31:09,139 --> 00:31:11,516
You're saying we should
kill one son to save the other?
521
00:31:11,641 --> 00:31:12,851
Nick is gonna die either way.
522
00:31:13,018 --> 00:31:15,061
You don't know that. I mean,
he's in pain right now, but...
523
00:31:15,187 --> 00:31:17,898
Nick's Graft-Versus-Host
is not responding to medication.
524
00:31:18,106 --> 00:31:19,941
That can change.
525
00:31:20,650 --> 00:31:23,361
Maybe he... He'll rally.
526
00:31:24,029 --> 00:31:26,239
Hey, my Nick is a fighter.
527
00:31:26,364 --> 00:31:28,116
Graft-Versus-Host
isn't gonna go away
528
00:31:28,241 --> 00:31:30,952
because of Nick's sunny smile
and positive outlook.
529
00:31:31,077 --> 00:31:34,289
Nick has survived
three reoccurrences of his leukemia.
530
00:31:34,414 --> 00:31:36,625
He's being torn apart
from the inside out.
531
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:40,128
His pain's gonna get worse
and worse, until he dies.
532
00:31:40,253 --> 00:31:42,172
You're just dragging it out.
533
00:31:42,964 --> 00:31:45,383
You have only
one decision to make.
534
00:31:45,550 --> 00:31:47,886
You can leave here
with one dead son, or two.
535
00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:56,520
Tell them.
536
00:32:00,857 --> 00:32:02,817
You should let us do this.
537
00:32:11,993 --> 00:32:13,119
No!
538
00:32:17,791 --> 00:32:20,126
We're not giving up on Nick.
539
00:32:22,379 --> 00:32:23,880
Not!
540
00:32:38,728 --> 00:32:42,399
The patient's parents apparently
don't want to be parents anymore.
541
00:32:42,691 --> 00:32:46,403
You're a sneaky bastard.
Any ideas how we get around this?
542
00:32:46,736 --> 00:32:48,405
- Court order?
- It's hardly sneaky.
543
00:32:48,572 --> 00:32:49,948
We can still save Matty.
544
00:32:50,115 --> 00:32:52,826
Run more tests, find out what infection
is destroying his marrow.
545
00:32:52,951 --> 00:32:56,204
Ten-thousand possible infections,
at least 20 minutes per test.
546
00:32:56,329 --> 00:32:57,789
It'll take you
approximately eight years.
547
00:32:57,914 --> 00:33:01,459
Actually, four months, assuming the last
one I test is the right one,
548
00:33:01,585 --> 00:33:04,045
and, if it's the first, it will take me
approximately 20 minutes.
549
00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:05,964
He's right. It's worth a shot.
550
00:33:06,089 --> 00:33:09,676
He's timid. Testing blindly is not gonna
save this kid.
551
00:33:09,801 --> 00:33:12,053
But standing around here will.
552
00:33:31,531 --> 00:33:33,325
(NICK GROANING)
553
00:33:42,959 --> 00:33:44,711
Wow, he sure is hurting.
554
00:33:44,836 --> 00:33:47,505
The nurses say he maxed out
on his pain meds.
555
00:33:47,964 --> 00:33:50,467
If I had a nickel for
every time I heard that...
556
00:33:54,763 --> 00:33:56,264
Pharmacy's
on the ground floor.
557
00:33:57,807 --> 00:34:00,101
I'm gonna go get you
some more pain medication, okay?
558
00:34:00,226 --> 00:34:01,936
Thank you.
559
00:34:17,994 --> 00:34:19,788
It's not gonna help.
560
00:34:22,248 --> 00:34:23,708
You're dying.
561
00:34:23,833 --> 00:34:28,004
Nothing's gonna change that. These drugs
will just make you go easier.
562
00:34:28,546 --> 00:34:29,798
I know.
563
00:34:31,132 --> 00:34:34,969
Fourteen years on the planet,
most of them spent suffering.
564
00:34:36,721 --> 00:34:41,434
Dying before you even
got to drive a car,
565
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:44,396
take off a girl's bra,
drink a beer.
566
00:34:46,314 --> 00:34:49,317
Believe me, there's plenty
you haven't done.
567
00:34:49,776 --> 00:34:51,361
Really good stuff.
568
00:34:54,572 --> 00:34:57,617
Must make it hard
to believe in God,
569
00:34:57,742 --> 00:35:01,996
or fairness, larger purpose.
570
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,670
But your life
doesn't have to be meaningless.
571
00:35:08,795 --> 00:35:11,172
You can save your brother.
572
00:35:14,676 --> 00:35:15,844
How?
573
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:20,390
FOREMAN: Negative for CMV.
574
00:35:20,515 --> 00:35:21,933
WILSON: Negative for amoebas.
575
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,018
House called you timid.
576
00:35:24,144 --> 00:35:25,854
He's called me a lot worse.
577
00:35:25,979 --> 00:35:29,023
To him, there is nothing worse.
He's gonna fire you.
578
00:35:29,149 --> 00:35:31,025
Even if we run 100 tests,
579
00:35:31,151 --> 00:35:33,486
that only gives us a one percent chance
of saving these kids.
580
00:35:33,611 --> 00:35:35,572
Better than zero.
You don't care if you get fired?
581
00:35:35,697 --> 00:35:36,698
I don't know.
582
00:35:36,823 --> 00:35:39,743
There's got to be a way to better our
odds from a 99-percent chance of death.
583
00:35:39,868 --> 00:35:40,910
You've got to know.
584
00:35:41,035 --> 00:35:43,329
It's not food-borne, because no one else
in the family is sick.
585
00:35:43,455 --> 00:35:44,998
You either care about
your job, or you don't.
586
00:35:45,123 --> 00:35:47,667
And Matty's the only one who drank from
that water pump in the back yard,
587
00:35:47,792 --> 00:35:49,294
and we eliminated Pseudomonas
and cholera.
588
00:35:49,419 --> 00:35:52,672
If you care, you fight to keep it.
If you don't, you quit.
589
00:35:53,965 --> 00:35:56,050
I thought they lived
in the suburbs.
590
00:35:56,801 --> 00:35:58,136
They do. Why?
591
00:35:58,261 --> 00:35:59,554
And they've got a water pump?
592
00:36:04,642 --> 00:36:06,269
NICK: Please, I...
I want to do it.
593
00:36:06,436 --> 00:36:10,106
No, Nicky,
it's not your decision.
594
00:36:10,982 --> 00:36:14,152
I'm dying. There's nothing
that's gonna change that.
595
00:36:14,277 --> 00:36:20,200
Hey, hey, hey. Don't say that. Okay?
You can't give up.
596
00:36:20,658 --> 00:36:22,702
It's time for me to go, Dad.
597
00:36:24,412 --> 00:36:26,206
You got to let me go.
598
00:36:29,167 --> 00:36:30,877
No.
599
00:36:33,546 --> 00:36:34,964
Please, son.
600
00:36:36,758 --> 00:36:41,763
I can't... I can't...
I can't!
601
00:36:43,598 --> 00:36:48,186
Let me do it for Matty.
Let me do it for you guys.
602
00:36:50,355 --> 00:36:52,357
So you won't be alone.
603
00:37:02,450 --> 00:37:05,620
- Are you sure?
- No, but he is.
604
00:37:10,083 --> 00:37:11,292
Get Nick back
to the clean room.
605
00:37:11,501 --> 00:37:13,044
The parents agreed
to infect him.
606
00:37:13,169 --> 00:37:16,881
We figured out
what's wrong with Matty, histoplasmosis.
607
00:37:17,006 --> 00:37:18,716
Well, what is that?
I mean, why did it...
608
00:37:18,842 --> 00:37:20,885
Fungal infection.
It grows in chicken feces.
609
00:37:21,010 --> 00:37:22,929
The dirt that Matty used
to build his pitcher's mound
610
00:37:23,054 --> 00:37:24,681
must have sat under
a chicken coop.
611
00:37:24,806 --> 00:37:27,517
Your whole neighborhood
was built on top of farmland.
612
00:37:27,642 --> 00:37:29,602
We didn't test for it earlier,
because we didn't...
613
00:37:29,811 --> 00:37:32,021
Can you fix him?
614
00:37:32,146 --> 00:37:35,191
Full course of amphotericin
and he should be fine.
615
00:37:36,484 --> 00:37:39,821
And Nick?
I mean, can you clean Matty's marrow?
616
00:37:40,113 --> 00:37:42,156
Just like you were talking about doing
it, but do it fast,
617
00:37:43,241 --> 00:37:45,034
and get it into Nick.
618
00:37:46,578 --> 00:37:48,830
I'm sorry, the reason
Matty is so sick
619
00:37:48,955 --> 00:37:52,208
is because the infection
is attacking his marrow.
620
00:37:52,333 --> 00:37:57,130
He doesn't have enough left to safely
take from him and give to his brother.
621
00:38:04,137 --> 00:38:07,390
I'm gonna get better now?
That's it?
622
00:38:08,016 --> 00:38:09,309
That's it.
623
00:38:09,434 --> 00:38:10,852
And what about Nick?
624
00:38:17,317 --> 00:38:20,945
Your brother was willing
to risk his life to save you.
625
00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:22,989
Are you willing to
do that for him?
626
00:38:24,908 --> 00:38:28,036
I can't sedate you.
You're too sick.
627
00:38:58,066 --> 00:39:00,318
(SCREAMING)
628
00:39:07,367 --> 00:39:12,622
Please, please stop. Please.
Please. You're done, right?
629
00:39:12,747 --> 00:39:15,124
Sorry, I need a lot more.
630
00:39:16,042 --> 00:39:18,544
No, stop! Stop!
631
00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:31,391
How much heat are you taking
from the parents?
632
00:39:31,516 --> 00:39:32,600
They're calming down.
633
00:39:32,725 --> 00:39:34,185
I think it has something to do
with both their kids
634
00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:37,021
being alive, awake, and eating.
635
00:39:37,146 --> 00:39:39,023
The marrow transplant took.
636
00:39:40,525 --> 00:39:41,567
Welcome back, Foreman.
637
00:39:41,693 --> 00:39:42,819
You should talk to him.
638
00:39:42,944 --> 00:39:43,945
Tell him how proud I am?
639
00:39:44,153 --> 00:39:45,989
Hey, if you're ashamed of him,
tell him that.
640
00:39:46,489 --> 00:39:48,700
Pride and shame only apply to people
641
00:39:48,825 --> 00:39:52,078
we have a vested interest in,
not employees.
642
00:39:52,203 --> 00:39:54,288
How many hours a day
do you have to spend with someone
643
00:39:54,414 --> 00:39:55,790
before they're
basically family?
644
00:39:55,915 --> 00:39:57,083
Good point.
645
00:39:57,208 --> 00:39:58,710
But, first, I've got to tell
Cameron and Chase
646
00:39:58,835 --> 00:40:00,294
that
they're violating God's will.
647
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:04,382
I'm just asking you to have
an adult conversation to let him know...
648
00:40:04,507 --> 00:40:06,843
That he did a good job?
He knows it.
649
00:40:07,427 --> 00:40:09,721
Adults don't need adult
conversations,
650
00:40:09,846 --> 00:40:12,015
just like I
don't need this conversation.
651
00:40:12,557 --> 00:40:13,975
Have you killed Hector yet?
652
00:40:14,225 --> 00:40:15,518
Obviously not.
653
00:40:16,936 --> 00:40:19,313
Oh. He's quiet. He's...
654
00:40:21,107 --> 00:40:23,234
Is that my stethoscope?
655
00:40:24,444 --> 00:40:25,778
Bad dog.
656
00:40:28,781 --> 00:40:30,074
Listen...
657
00:40:31,075 --> 00:40:34,912
Bonnie joined her homeowner's
association and staged a coup.
658
00:40:35,038 --> 00:40:36,622
Pets are now allowed.
659
00:40:38,374 --> 00:40:39,375
Oh.
660
00:40:39,584 --> 00:40:40,918
If you want to keep him,
661
00:40:41,044 --> 00:40:43,629
she wants a new puppy anyway.
She'll understand.
662
00:40:43,963 --> 00:40:45,840
Why would I want to keep him?
663
00:40:45,965 --> 00:40:47,592
You're sure?
664
00:40:50,762 --> 00:40:52,138
Come on, boy.
665
00:41:02,857 --> 00:41:04,942
Accidents happen.
666
00:41:08,071 --> 00:41:09,322
Candy?
667
00:41:11,908 --> 00:41:13,159
Good boy.
668
00:41:36,849 --> 00:41:38,267
Good boy.
669
00:41:57,245 --> 00:41:58,871
You did good.
670
00:42:01,082 --> 00:42:03,126
I did what you would have.
671
00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:07,046
Well, maybe I'm biased, but...
672
00:42:07,171 --> 00:42:08,339
I tortured the kid.
673
00:42:08,464 --> 00:42:10,716
Because you knew it was right.
674
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:14,095
You knew you were
saving his brother.
675
00:42:14,220 --> 00:42:15,596
I know.
676
00:42:16,889 --> 00:42:18,891
I don't like that I know.
677
00:42:19,892 --> 00:42:22,979
I hate that I can listen
to a kid screaming in pain
678
00:42:23,104 --> 00:42:27,024
and not even take a moment to question
whether I'm doing the right thing.
679
00:42:27,733 --> 00:42:30,862
I hate that in order
to be like you, as a doctor,
680
00:42:30,987 --> 00:42:33,739
I have to be like you
as a human being.
681
00:42:35,283 --> 00:42:37,618
I don't want to turn into you.
682
00:42:40,872 --> 00:42:42,081
You're not.
683
00:42:43,499 --> 00:42:47,128
You've been like me
since you were eight years old.
684
00:42:51,299 --> 00:42:54,760
You'll save more people
than I will.
685
00:42:55,219 --> 00:42:57,471
But I'll settle for
killing less.
686
00:42:58,973 --> 00:43:01,475
Consider this my
two weeks notice.
