00:08:48,925 --> 00:08:52,220
I'm late to meet Dr. Olan to brief him
on the case I'm handing over.
171
00:08:55,932 --> 00:08:57,183
Bye.
172
00:09:09,863 --> 00:09:11,281
It doesn't bother you
that House wouldn't take
173
00:09:11,406 --> 00:09:13,283
just two seconds
to talk about the patient?
174
00:09:13,408 --> 00:09:14,701
Wilson's dealing with a lot.
175
00:09:14,826 --> 00:09:16,035
And our patient may be dying.
176
00:09:16,161 --> 00:09:18,371
She was bleeding out her rear,
we're looking up her rear.
177
00:09:18,496 --> 00:09:20,707
You think we needed House's expertise
to set us on this course?
178
00:09:20,832 --> 00:09:22,542
Her heart rate's slow,
bleed should have made it faster.
179
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:24,794
And it can wait
till after we know where it came from.
180
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:26,963
And after he's done
dealing with personal issues.
181
00:09:27,088 --> 00:09:28,464
Yeah?
That the way it works around here?
182
00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:31,551
We get cut slack
while we deal with personal issues?
183
00:09:33,553 --> 00:09:34,929
You're not the boss.
184
00:09:35,054 --> 00:09:39,434
Boss gets to make the rules,
boss gets to ignore...
185
00:09:40,768 --> 00:09:44,564
She's bleeding from nowhere.
186
00:09:46,649 --> 00:09:47,775
You did an endoscopy?
187
00:09:47,901 --> 00:09:49,027
And a colonoscopy.
188
00:09:49,152 --> 00:09:50,195
- CT scan?
- Ordered.
189
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,988
But it shouldn't show anything
the endoscopy didn't.
190
00:09:52,113 --> 00:09:54,532
- We can't do a CT scan.
- Why not?
191
00:09:54,657 --> 00:09:56,784
We don't need a CT scan,
we don't need House.
192
00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,036
Stop grinning and talk.
193
00:09:58,161 --> 00:10:00,246
One of the routine pre-procedure tests
was positive.
194
00:10:00,371 --> 00:10:02,415
- Which one?
- The one that if it's positive
195
00:10:02,540 --> 00:10:04,000
would explain
a hormone imbalance
196
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:06,294
that could screw
with heart rate and blood flow.
197
00:10:08,421 --> 00:10:10,840
Guess she does have a life
beyond her career.
198
00:10:12,217 --> 00:10:13,551
I'm Pregnant?
199
00:10:13,676 --> 00:10:15,136
You want to call the father?
Let him know?
200
00:10:15,261 --> 00:10:18,264
Soon as you do some DNA testing,
let me know.
201
00:10:19,933 --> 00:10:21,726
Must be hard to have
a real relationship when you're...
202
00:10:21,851 --> 00:10:24,020
(CHUCKLES)
Are you making excuses for me?
203
00:10:24,145 --> 00:10:25,313
I'm just saying
it's understandable.
204
00:10:25,438 --> 00:10:28,608
You only have to understand something
if it needs an explanation.
205
00:10:28,733 --> 00:10:31,945
I have needs, I met my needs,
end of explanation.
206
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:34,530
How recently were you needy?
207
00:10:34,656 --> 00:10:38,284
(SIGHS)
It's been two or three months at least.
208
00:10:39,869 --> 00:10:42,372
What? What is it?
209
00:10:42,497 --> 00:10:43,498
Nothing.
210
00:10:43,623 --> 00:10:46,501
- Tell me.
- It's actually, nothing.
211
00:10:49,337 --> 00:10:52,840
The ultrasound
shows no trace of a baby at all.
212
00:10:54,926 --> 00:10:57,553
Positive pregnancy test,
no pregnancy.
213
00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:01,432
B12 deficit rectified,
but her heart's slowing even more.
214
00:11:01,557 --> 00:11:03,810
And a bleed should
speed her heart rate.
215
00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:10,149
House,
this is the kind of case you love,
216
00:11:10,275 --> 00:11:12,402
contradictions piling up left and right.
217
00:11:14,821 --> 00:11:16,739
Two false positive pregnancy tests,
218
00:11:16,864 --> 00:11:20,034
bradycardia,
lower GI bleed. Go.
219
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:22,620
Choriocarcinoma,
would've triggered pregnancy hormones.
220
00:11:22,745 --> 00:11:24,330
Also would've shown on the sonogram.
221
00:11:24,455 --> 00:11:26,624
KUTNER:
lmmunoglobulin A deficiency.
222
00:11:26,749 --> 00:11:27,750
No urinary bleed.
223
00:11:27,875 --> 00:11:31,671
If she's had beta-HCG injections,
they can cross-react with...
224
00:11:32,964 --> 00:11:34,465
Keep going.
225
00:11:37,427 --> 00:11:39,345
You're being an idiot.
226
00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:41,889
You're gonna blow up your career,
then six months from now,
227
00:11:42,015 --> 00:11:44,267
when you've moved on
from Amber to burnt sienna,
228
00:11:44,392 --> 00:11:48,563
you're gonna be stuck on a mobile
oncology truck in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
229
00:11:48,688 --> 00:11:51,899
I'd need a flow chart
to explain all the ways in which
230
00:11:52,025 --> 00:11:53,860
that was ridiculously insensitive.
231
00:11:53,985 --> 00:11:55,194
You can't hide from misery.
232
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,030
This isn't your business.
233
00:11:57,155 --> 00:11:59,532
My skull was cracked open
trying to save her.
234
00:11:59,657 --> 00:12:03,786
Then we all need a little tea
and sympathy. I'm through discussing it.
235
00:12:05,204 --> 00:12:06,080
We have a patient.
236
00:12:06,205 --> 00:12:08,833
Who's obviously not going anywhere
with a bloody rectum.
237
00:12:08,958 --> 00:12:10,752
- Great to have you back.
- Actually, I'm...
238
00:12:10,877 --> 00:12:14,505
Actually, he's about to thrust a tanto
into the belly of his career.
239
00:12:14,630 --> 00:12:16,424
I'm leaving the hospital.
240
00:12:17,342 --> 00:12:18,885
I'm sorry. This is obviously
a terrible time, but...
241
00:12:19,010 --> 00:12:20,720
Why are you leaving?
242
00:12:20,845 --> 00:12:22,889
I just need
a change of scenery.
243
00:12:23,014 --> 00:12:23,931
Buy a plant.
244
00:12:24,057 --> 00:12:26,351
Rectal bleeding,
two positive pregnancy tests.
245
00:12:26,476 --> 00:12:27,643
There's nothing we can do...
246
00:12:27,769 --> 00:12:30,146
You could ask House to be a grownup
and respect my decision.
247
00:12:30,271 --> 00:12:32,106
I respect things
that deserve respect.
248
00:12:32,231 --> 00:12:34,609
This decision, on the other hand,
is a dog wearing a cape.
249
00:12:34,734 --> 00:12:36,152
Hallucinations,
heart rate won't respond...
250
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:38,488
The patient tested positive
for pregnancy
251
00:12:38,613 --> 00:12:40,990
because the patient is pregnant.
252
00:12:46,621 --> 00:12:47,622
(BANGING)
253
00:12:54,670 --> 00:12:55,922
Hey, who are you?
254
00:12:56,047 --> 00:12:57,006
This is Dr. House.
255
00:12:57,131 --> 00:13:00,134
He's too brilliant for introductions.
False positive.
256
00:13:00,259 --> 00:13:02,637
You're too busy to be running
a day care center in your abdomen.
257
00:13:02,762 --> 00:13:04,305
False positive.
258
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:06,599
Not to mention, you should wait
till at least 30 to punish
259
00:13:06,724 --> 00:13:09,727
that pleasure portal
with a seven-pound tissue expander.
260
00:13:09,852 --> 00:13:13,106
I'm 37.
And I thought I wasn't pregnant.
261
00:13:13,856 --> 00:13:17,318
Thirty-seven? Impressive.
262
00:13:18,945 --> 00:13:21,656
Too bad you're not
passing on those genes.
263
00:13:23,116 --> 00:13:25,118
Does that look false to you?
264
00:13:25,993 --> 00:13:27,995
You were looking
in the wrong room.
265
00:13:28,663 --> 00:13:30,915
It's more common
when the egg lands in the oven,
266
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,667
sometimes it winds up
in the fallopian tubes,
267
00:13:32,792 --> 00:13:36,003
in rare cases, it plummets through
the plumbing entirely.
268
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:38,047
It's using her intestine
as a blood supply.
269
00:13:38,172 --> 00:13:42,885
Caused the rectal bleed,
and now Junior Miss Steinem's junior
270
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:46,848
must be pressing on her vagus nerve,
slowing her heart to a crawl.
271
00:13:46,973 --> 00:13:50,726
Yank the fetus. If she survives
the surgery, she'll be fine.
272
00:14:00,987 --> 00:14:03,698
What if she wants
to keep the baby?
273
00:14:03,823 --> 00:14:04,824
She doesn't.
274
00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:06,826
We can't take two seconds
to discuss this?
275
00:14:06,951 --> 00:14:08,619
I mean, fetuses have been
transplanted before,
276
00:14:08,744 --> 00:14:10,288
whole uteruses, too.
277
00:14:10,413 --> 00:14:13,040
Just terminating the fetus
when it's glued to her intestines
278
00:14:13,166 --> 00:14:16,335
is high-risk surgery,
saving it is a fantasy.
279
00:14:16,461 --> 00:14:18,754
That was at least three seconds.
280
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,382
She's a 37-year old woman
who deserves...
281
00:14:21,507 --> 00:14:22,925
People get what they get,
282
00:14:23,050 --> 00:14:25,219
it has nothing to do
with what they deserve.
283
00:14:25,344 --> 00:14:27,013
And this has nothing to do
with her genitalia
284
00:14:27,138 --> 00:14:29,182
and everything to do
with your genetics.
285
00:14:29,307 --> 00:14:30,641
You told me to get tested.
286
00:14:30,766 --> 00:14:31,767
I didn't know
it was gonna color
287
00:14:31,893 --> 00:14:33,811
your every medical opinion,
every personal opinion.
288
00:14:33,936 --> 00:14:35,229
You didn't think
a death sentence would...
289
00:14:35,354 --> 00:14:39,984
People die.
You, Amber, everyone.
290
00:14:40,943 --> 00:14:42,778
Don't act like you
just figured that out.
291
00:14:42,904 --> 00:14:46,407
I gave you a diagnosis, you don't
like it, there are exits on every floor.
292
00:14:52,288 --> 00:14:54,123
(DOOR OPENING)
293
00:15:00,963 --> 00:15:02,340
(SIGHS)
294
00:15:06,052 --> 00:15:08,054
I'm sorry to be
so definitive about this.
295
00:15:08,179 --> 00:15:11,766
I know you're still absorbing the news,
but we have no choice but to...
296
00:15:11,891 --> 00:15:14,352
Remove the fetus, absolutely.
297
00:15:15,895 --> 00:15:18,314
I have no boyfriend,
no husband,
298
00:15:18,439 --> 00:15:21,108
I'm on the road with Patty
all the time.
299
00:15:22,985 --> 00:15:24,237
Where do I sign?
300
00:15:24,362 --> 00:15:25,988
Oh!
301
00:15:30,284 --> 00:15:31,577
Feel any tenderness back here?
302
00:15:31,702 --> 00:15:33,204
No, not at all.
303
00:15:34,789 --> 00:15:37,416
So you're treating
professional sports injuries now?
304
00:15:37,542 --> 00:15:38,501
No, I'm not...
305
00:15:38,626 --> 00:15:40,419
Familiar with the concept of sarcasm.
306
00:15:40,545 --> 00:15:43,506
Don't sweat it, it's new.
Have you spoken to Wilson?
307
00:15:43,631 --> 00:15:45,299
We'll get you an EKG.
I'll be right back.
308
00:15:45,424 --> 00:15:47,468
You want me to sleep with him
to get him to stay?
309
00:15:47,593 --> 00:15:51,097
I put the bisexual chick on that,
but if you'd like to sit in,
310
00:15:51,222 --> 00:15:52,890
- so to speak.
- I spoke to him.
311
00:15:53,015 --> 00:15:53,933
What did you tell him?
312
00:15:54,058 --> 00:15:56,519
I didn't tell him anything.
I listened.
313
00:15:56,644 --> 00:15:58,980
So you could feel good
about doing nothing.
314
00:15:59,105 --> 00:16:00,773
- Tell him...
- I am not your errand girl,
315
00:16:00,898 --> 00:16:02,608
the best thing
about leaving you.
316
00:16:02,733 --> 00:16:04,819
The two of you
used to be together?
317
00:16:04,944 --> 00:16:07,822
She dumped me when I lost
the last 85 pounds.
318
00:16:08,823 --> 00:16:11,075
Said there was
less of me to love.
319
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,827
Grief means different things
to different people,
320
00:16:12,952 --> 00:16:15,329
case in point,
means very little to you.
321
00:16:15,454 --> 00:16:16,998
Grief is Newark.
322
00:16:17,123 --> 00:16:19,917
Okay, it's there, you can't avoid it,
but the idea is to hold your nose,
323
00:16:20,042 --> 00:16:21,085
hope the traffic's
not too bad
324
00:16:21,252 --> 00:16:24,255
and get on to Manhattan as quickly
as possible, not to buy property.
325
00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:26,090
You think that's
facing up to things?
326
00:16:26,215 --> 00:16:27,133
I'm not the one
who's quitting.
327
00:16:27,258 --> 00:16:28,759
'Cause you haven't lost anything.
328
00:16:28,884 --> 00:16:31,721
But you have.
He'll listen to you.
329
00:16:31,846 --> 00:16:34,765
What did you do
when your husband died?
330
00:16:34,890 --> 00:16:36,809
I got a new job,
and I moved.
331
00:16:39,103 --> 00:16:41,147
See how crappy
that worked out.
332
00:16:44,942 --> 00:16:50,406
CHASE: Separating the placenta
from the wall of the large intestine.
333
00:16:51,616 --> 00:16:53,993
Sponge.
Suction, we got some bleeding.
334
00:16:54,118 --> 00:16:54,994

a harmless pocket of blood,
507
00:25:18,622 --> 00:25:20,749
which is why Chase ignored it
during the surgery.
508
00:25:20,874 --> 00:25:24,253
Could be a ganglioma, which is
why Chase shouldn't have ignored it.
509
00:25:24,378 --> 00:25:26,130
If it's an abnormal growth of nerves,
510
00:25:26,255 --> 00:25:28,507
it could be causing
all the patient's symptoms.
511
00:25:29,967 --> 00:25:32,261
We have to open her up again,
get a piece of it.
512
00:25:38,183 --> 00:25:39,518
So what do you
want to tell us?
513
00:25:39,643 --> 00:25:40,936
Nothing.
514
00:25:41,061 --> 00:25:44,148
Nothing I say is gonna change anything.
You guys need to talk.
515
00:25:44,273 --> 00:25:46,733
Actually, you should read
the latest psych literature,
516
00:25:46,859 --> 00:25:48,652
repression's gaining
a lot of fans.
517
00:25:48,777 --> 00:25:50,237
What you don't face
can't crush you.
518
00:25:50,362 --> 00:25:51,697
Talk to each other.
519
00:25:51,822 --> 00:25:53,365
(SIGHS)
520
00:25:54,074 --> 00:25:55,117
How you doing? Good?
521
00:25:55,242 --> 00:25:56,702
Fine. Thanks.
522
00:25:57,828 --> 00:25:59,580
(EXCLAIMS)
Sit.
523
00:26:01,748 --> 00:26:04,251
See, the two of you are friends,
look how you both...
524
00:26:04,376 --> 00:26:05,794
Think you're an idiot.
525
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:08,672
We both also eat with forks,
that doesn't really prove...
526
00:26:08,797 --> 00:26:12,259
Talk to him. Tell him how you feel
about what he's doing.
527
00:26:12,384 --> 00:26:13,594
I told him
he's an idiot.
528
00:26:13,719 --> 00:26:15,971
Tell him what you think
about him leaving.
529
00:26:16,096 --> 00:26:17,055
I think he's an idiot.
530
00:26:17,181 --> 00:26:18,056
CUDDY: You're an idiot.
531
00:26:18,182 --> 00:26:21,143
He's in pain, and your response
is just to emotionally blackmail him.
532
00:26:21,268 --> 00:26:23,103
You told me
what your position is on that one.
533
00:26:23,228 --> 00:26:24,313
You're against it, right?
534
00:26:24,438 --> 00:26:27,816
She hasn't told you in front of me.
She needs to prove she's on my side.
535
00:26:27,941 --> 00:26:29,359
Go to hell.
536
00:26:29,484 --> 00:26:30,903
So much for that theory.
537
00:26:31,028 --> 00:26:32,654
I'm sorry you lost Amber.
538
00:26:32,779 --> 00:26:34,781
I cannot imagine what it is
you're going through,
539
00:26:34,907 --> 00:26:36,241
but it will not get better
540
00:26:36,366 --> 00:26:39,369
by you walking away
from everyone that cares about you.
541
00:26:40,329 --> 00:26:43,040
Do you think Amber
would want you to walk away?
542
00:26:43,165 --> 00:26:45,918
Nobody at this hospital
even liked Amber.
543
00:26:54,009 --> 00:26:55,344
Same time next week?
544
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,353
You want me to do a second
major surgery on a patient
545
00:27:04,478 --> 00:27:07,105
we almost lost
during a first major surgery
546
00:27:07,231 --> 00:27:09,775
to see if she needs
a third major surgery?
547
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:11,276
We need a piece
of the ganglioma.
548
00:27:11,401 --> 00:27:13,612
Then you're talking
about another patient,
549
00:27:13,737 --> 00:27:15,239
yours doesn't
have a ganglioma.
550
00:27:15,364 --> 00:27:17,241
And if there is one
and you missed it?
551
00:27:17,366 --> 00:27:20,327
Then you're talking about
another surgeon, I didn't miss anything.
552
00:27:20,452 --> 00:27:22,204
But we're not talking
about another videotape,
553
00:27:22,329 --> 00:27:24,248
this one showed a bump,
we need to biopsy it.
554
00:27:24,373 --> 00:27:28,627
A bump? Oh, yeah,
my grandfather died of a bump.
555
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:34,424
She can't survive a second round of
general anesthesia, let alone a third.
556
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:36,802
You'd do this for House.
557
00:27:36,927 --> 00:27:37,928
Yeah.
558
00:27:38,053 --> 00:27:38,971
Then what do you suggest?
559
00:27:39,096 --> 00:27:41,515
Because the patient's got
a high fever, a low heart rate,
560
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,726
and a dim chance of survival
if we stand here like idiots.
561
00:27:44,851 --> 00:27:47,813
Then I suggest
you don't stand there like idiots.
562
00:27:50,357 --> 00:27:54,611
How do you get coal out of a mountain
when it's someone else's mountain?
563
00:27:54,736 --> 00:27:56,738
If we don't have House,
doesn't mean we can't think like House.
564
00:27:56,863 --> 00:27:59,241
But it does mean
we don't have to talk like him.
565
00:27:59,366 --> 00:28:01,702
You don't dig down.
You go in from the side.
566
00:28:01,827 --> 00:28:03,370
We insert a lighted scope
through the rectum,
567
00:28:03,495 --> 00:28:05,414
move the intestine
till we find the ganglioma,
568
00:28:05,539 --> 00:28:08,959
then push it to the surface.
Where we see the light, we cut.
569
00:28:12,754 --> 00:28:15,465
We'll make as small
an incision as we can,
570
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:18,176
but unfortunately
it'll be very painful.
571
00:28:18,302 --> 00:28:20,679
After your surgery experience,
we can't give you anesthesia...
572
00:28:20,804 --> 00:28:22,055
Can I talk to Dr. House?
573
00:28:23,515 --> 00:28:24,641
No.
574
00:28:25,183 --> 00:28:27,185
We can do this,
we know what we're doing.
575
00:28:27,311 --> 00:28:28,603
I don't mean
to be insulting,
576
00:28:28,729 --> 00:28:32,399
but my former boss didn't insist on me
coming here because of you or...
577
00:28:32,524 --> 00:28:33,817
Your former boss?
578
00:28:33,942 --> 00:28:35,944
I've been replaced.
579
00:28:38,238 --> 00:28:40,782
- I'm sorry. I mean, you must be...
- I'm fine.
580
00:28:41,325 --> 00:28:42,909
She has a big Beijing trip,
581
00:28:43,035 --> 00:28:46,204
ton of work to do, she can't just wait
for me to get better.
582
00:28:48,665 --> 00:28:51,501
We've been well trained,
we'll take good care of you.
583
00:28:58,050 --> 00:29:00,802
How can you let her
treat you like a footstool?
584
00:29:01,762 --> 00:29:03,263
The world needs flunkies.
585
00:29:03,388 --> 00:29:05,682
Don't say that,
you're better than that.
586
00:29:05,807 --> 00:29:07,893
I have no problem with it.
Why do you?
587
00:29:08,935 --> 00:29:11,521
Because life is short.
588
00:29:11,646 --> 00:29:13,815
I mean,
yours could've ended in that surgery.
589
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:17,986
You'd have never lived for yourself.
What kind of feminist...
590
00:29:18,111 --> 00:29:20,405
- We can have anything.
- No, we can't.
591
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,788
We can aspire to anything. But we
don't get it just because we want it.
592
00:29:28,997 --> 00:29:31,625
I would rather spend my life
close to the birds
593
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:34,461
than waste it
wishing I had wings.
594
00:29:44,930 --> 00:29:47,432
FOREMAN: You're through the sigmoid,
into the descending colon.
595
00:29:47,557 --> 00:29:49,017
Switching on the light.
596
00:29:49,142 --> 00:29:51,353
Advance toward
the anastomosis.
597
00:29:53,355 --> 00:29:55,232
That's it.
598
00:29:55,357 --> 00:29:57,943
Push the wall of the intestine
toward the skin.
599
00:30:02,823 --> 00:30:04,866
There, I see it.
600
00:30:06,243 --> 00:30:07,953
Don't look down.
601
00:30:08,495 --> 00:30:09,996
Scalpel.
602
00:30:25,220 --> 00:30:27,013
So your last day is Friday?
603
00:30:27,639 --> 00:30:29,516
I'm gonna miss you.
604
00:30:30,183 --> 00:30:32,018
You shouldn't go.
605
00:30:32,144 --> 00:30:34,729
Did House ask you to talk to me?
Or are you trying to save the patient,
606
00:30:34,855 --> 00:30:36,773
- because there'll always be another...
- House asked me.
607
00:30:36,898 --> 00:30:39,568
- And you're doing it?
- I told him to go to hell.
608
00:30:41,111 --> 00:30:42,362
Thanks.
609
00:30:42,654 --> 00:30:43,947
But I think he's right.
610
00:30:48,785 --> 00:30:53,915
You think you're making a rational
choice. You think the worst is over,
611
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,337
and then six months later,
you look back and you realize
612
00:30:59,463 --> 00:31:01,131
you didn't know
what you were doing.
613
00:31:01,256 --> 00:31:03,258
Are you saying the pain
doesn't go away?
614
00:31:03,383 --> 00:31:04,384
It gets easier.
615
00:31:04,509 --> 00:31:08,054
Not in two months.
Not in two years.
616
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:12,017
But, no, it never
really goes away.
617
00:31:12,142 --> 00:31:16,146
Being here,
in this building...
618
00:31:16,271 --> 00:31:18,565
I was just in the lounge,
I kept staring at Amber's locker.
619
00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:20,859
I saw a guy
wearing a scarf this morning.
620
00:31:20,984 --> 00:31:23,445
The color reminded me of his eyes.
621
00:31:23,737 --> 00:31:26,114
We lived 500 miles from here.
622
00:31:27,657 --> 00:31:29,034
I have to do something.
623
00:31:29,159 --> 00:31:30,452
Then do it.
624
00:31:32,704 --> 00:31:38,835
But don't think it's the right choice,
because there isn't one.
625
00:31:41,463 --> 00:31:44,508
It's not a ganglioma,
the problem wasn't the surgery.
626
00:31:44,633 --> 00:31:47,010
Abnormally deposited proteins.
It's amyloidosis.
627
00:31:47,135 --> 00:31:49,262
It would explain the blinking
and the low heart rate.
628
00:31:49,387 --> 00:31:51,848
The only way to treat amyloidosis
is to treat whatever's causing it.
629
00:31:51,973 --> 00:31:55,644
It's not as if a lot of things
cause amyloid, rheumatoid arthritis.
630
00:31:55,769 --> 00:31:57,103
Familial Mediterranean fever.
631
00:31:57,229 --> 00:31:58,146
Lymphoma.
632
00:31:58,271 --> 00:31:59,523
Well, we can't all be right.
633
00:31:59,648 --> 00:32:02,567
But you can all be wrong.
Patient's joints don't hurt,
634
00:32:02,692 --> 00:32:04,194
abdominal pain went away
when the fetus did,
635
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:05,695
and no palpable lymph nodes.
636
00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:07,364
Got anything
constructive to say?
637
00:32:07,489 --> 00:32:08,740
Sorry. Sorry.
638
00:32:09,783 --> 00:32:11,618
She has lots and lots
of palpable lymph nodes,
639
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:14,204
joint and abdominal pain,
she'll be better by dinner time.
640
00:32:14,329 --> 00:32:16,248
If we don't find
the cause of the amyloidosis,
641
00:32:16,373 --> 00:32:19,793
we never get her off that wire,
she never walks out of this hospital.
642
00:32:21,253 --> 00:32:25,674
But, hey, who needs House?
So glad we lost those training wheels.
643
00:32:30,136 --> 00:32:32,472
You want me to
make the call?
644
00:32:32,597 --> 00:32:34,516
There seems to be
some disagreement.
645
00:32:34,641 --> 00:32:37,769
And this isn't just a pretext
to pressure me into staying?
646
00:32:37,894 --> 00:32:40,188
Does it look
like a pretext?
647
00:32:40,313 --> 00:32:41,439
No.
648
00:32:42,107 --> 00:32:43,942
She really is dying,
isn't she?
649
00:32:46,152 --> 00:32:51,449
Inflammation, enlarged nuclei, some
mitotic activity. It could be lymphoma.
650
00:32:51,575 --> 00:32:52,951
There are no palpable
lymph nodes.
651
00:32:53,076 --> 00:32:55,704
Makes it less likely,
but doesn't rule it out.
652
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,291
I'm an oncologist,
I see cancer.
653
00:32:59,416 --> 00:33:01,543
Show it to an immunologist,
they'll see autoimmune.
654
00:33:01,668 --> 00:33:04,671
I already showed it
to an immunologist.
655
00:33:04,796 --> 00:33:06,548
We'll start her on chemo.
656
00:33:08,842 --> 00:33:10,385
You should leave.
657
00:33:10,885 --> 00:33:13,054
House doesn't want
to lose his sidekick.
658
00:33:13,179 --> 00:33:15,390
Cuddy doesn't want
to lose her check on House.
659
00:33:15,515 --> 00:33:18,143
No one's talking
about what you want.
660
00:33:18,268 --> 00:33:19,894
It's not that I want to.
661
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:21,896
Want to, need to.
662
00:33:22,856 --> 00:33:24,691
If there's any chance
that being away from here
663
00:33:24,816 --> 00:33:28,695
will make your life
even a little bit easier, do it.
664
00:33:29,654 --> 00:33:31,781
That's what everyone else here would do.
665
00:33:51,092 --> 00:33:53,303
Don't expect anything
to change too fast.
666
00:33:53,428 --> 00:33:54,929
Lymphoma was your idea?
667
00:33:56,348 --> 00:33:57,265
Why?
668
00:33:57,390 --> 00:33:58,767
I feel better.
669
00:33:59,643 --> 00:34:01,853
Sometimes just knowing
you're being treated helps.
670
00:34:01,978 --> 00:34:03,563
You've given me 18 different treatments,
671
00:34:03,688 --> 00:34:06,608
this is the first one
that made me feel better.
672
00:34:06,733 --> 00:34:08,818
I don't think
it's psychological.
673
00:34:10,195 --> 00:34:11,404
Thank you.
674
00:34:13,531 --> 00:34:14,824
I'm sorry.
675
00:34:16,117 --> 00:34:17,827
I shouldn't have
gotten angry at you.
676
00:34:17,952 --> 00:34:20,080
Your choices
are your choices.
677
00:34:21,456 --> 00:34:22,749
You're not like me.
678
00:34:25,293 --> 00:34:27,337
Maybe you have wings.
679
00:34:35,428 --> 00:34:37,389
I have Huntington's Chorea.
680
00:34:39,641 --> 00:34:44,688
Dozen years or so,
my nervous system, my cognitive skills,
681
00:34:44,813 --> 00:34:48,358
even my emotional balance,
they'll all start to fray.
682
00:34:49,693 --> 00:34:54,114
I won't be able to fly,
I won't be able to walk,
683
00:34:55,031 --> 00:34:57,158
I won't be able to breathe.
684
00:34:59,619 --> 00:35:02,330
And you want to make sure
your life matters?
685
00:35:04,082 --> 00:35:10,088
I don't want to just be tightening bolts
and following instructions.
686
00:35:10,213 --> 00:35:16,594
I want something to be different
because of me.
687
00:35:17,721 --> 00:35:19,013
I am.
688
00:35:21,766 --> 00:35:23,768
Not just 'cause
you saved my life.
689
00:35:26,271 --> 00:35:31,526
I'm applying for a job at a foundation.
Running the finance division.
690
00:35:33,027 --> 00:35:34,571
I mean, I don't know if
I'm gonna get it,
691
00:35:34,696 --> 00:35:39,367
but if I don't,
there are other foundations.
692
00:35:41,244 --> 00:35:42,370
(SIGHS)
693
00:35:46,332 --> 00:35:49,210
It's almost 4:00.
Soap time.
694
00:35:49,335 --> 00:35:50,170
(GASPS)
695
00:35:51,963 --> 00:35:54,799
Nurses' remote,
works in the doctors' lounge.
696
00:35:54,924 --> 00:35:57,010
Why do you think
Wilson's leaving?
697
00:36:00,096 --> 00:36:02,766
How many times
do I have to use the word "idiot"?
698
00:36:02,891 --> 00:36:04,517
And that's
a good enough answer for you?
699
00:36:04,642 --> 00:36:06,352
Whenever anyone does
anything out of the norm,
700
00:36:06,478 --> 00:36:10,273
you have to tell them what screwed-up
process is really at work in their head.
701
00:36:10,398 --> 00:36:12,442
That's why I locked
the two of you in a room,
702
00:36:12,567 --> 00:36:15,069
so you would say
something stupid and insensitive
703
00:36:15,195 --> 00:36:17,280
and maybe
with a little bit of truth.
704
00:36:17,989 --> 00:36:19,824
But you didn't.
705
00:36:20,241 --> 00:36:23,912
So I can only assume
that you don't want to know the reason.
706
00:36:24,037 --> 00:36:25,914
You're afraid to know.
707
00:36:28,833 --> 00:36:30,877
You're not listening to me,
are you?
708
00:36:31,711 --> 00:36:34,506
Try it sometime,
you'll see why.
709
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,766
You look 37.
710
00:36:44,891 --> 00:36:46,392
I am 37.
711
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,854
You looked 27 last week.
712
00:36:50,188 --> 00:36:52,440
Unless I blacked out for 10 years,
your skin...
713
00:36:52,565 --> 00:36:54,776
She has got lymphoma,
chemo's probably...
714
00:36:54,901 --> 00:36:56,820
- Stop the chemo.
- She's getting better.
715
00:36:56,945 --> 00:36:58,112
Bradycardia's improving,
we didn't...
716
00:36:58,238 --> 00:36:59,447
She have bruising?
717
00:36:59,572 --> 00:37:02,408
She was pounding her legs
during the hallucinations.
718
00:37:02,534 --> 00:37:04,494
It's not lymphoma.
719
00:37:05,370 --> 00:37:07,205
Hey, don't...
No, no, no.
720
00:37:07,330 --> 00:37:10,500
(GROANING)
721
00:37:10,625 --> 00:37:13,628
My bad.
Thought "no" meant "yes".
722
00:37:15,255 --> 00:37:18,550
Those aren't bruises,
they're mycobacterial lesions.
723
00:37:18,675 --> 00:37:21,553
She has diffuse lepromatous leprosy,
724
00:37:21,678 --> 00:37:25,056
must've caught it on
one of her overseas estrogen tours.
725
00:37:25,181 --> 00:37:28,434
Chemo wipes out some of the bacteria,
she feels a little better,
726
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,312
wipes out most of her immune system,
she gets a whole lot worse.
727
00:37:31,437 --> 00:37:34,899
Leprosy?
Like where my limbs fall off?
728
00:37:35,024 --> 00:37:38,570
Actually, this is the flattering one.
It's also known as "pretty leprosy".
729
00:37:38,695 --> 00:37:41,990
Doesn't disfigure,
makes your skin look younger, smoother.
730
00:37:42,115 --> 00:37:45,159
Don't let the girls hear,
they'll all want to lick your face.
731
00:37:45,285 --> 00:37:48,162
Unless you're that kind of feminist.
732
00:37:48,955 --> 00:37:52,959
Blast her with antibiotics
and prednisone, she'll be fine.
733
00:37:53,084 --> 00:37:55,837
Damn, it's after 4:00.
I'm late.
734
00:37:58,298 --> 00:37:59,799
- Damn.
- What?
735
00:38:00,717 --> 00:38:02,427
She's happy
you're gonna be fine,
736
00:38:02,552 --> 00:38:06,264
but she'd be happier if you were
gonna be fine five minutes ago.
737
00:38:13,646 --> 00:38:16,232
Test confirmed
Dr. House's diagnosis.
738
00:38:17,233 --> 00:38:19,027
Thank God.
739
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,405
When you got pregnant,
740
00:38:22,530 --> 00:38:25,617
the physical stress
triggered e-nodosum leprosum,
741
00:38:25,742 --> 00:38:28,161
a common complication of leprosy.
742
00:38:28,286 --> 00:38:31,915
Inflamed the nerves to your heart,
made it hard to absorb vitamins,
743
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,501
scarred your fallopian tubes.
It explains everything.
744
00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:40,465
Better prescribe me
some skin cream, too, huh?
745
00:38:40,590 --> 00:38:43,134
You might want it
for those job interviews.
746
00:38:44,344 --> 00:38:48,139
I'm going back on the road with Patty.
My replacement flamed out.
747
00:38:50,308 --> 00:38:54,812
She says I can manage some projects
on my own, carve out more of a role.
748
00:38:54,938 --> 00:38:57,774
Do you really think she can change?
749
00:38:57,899 --> 00:38:59,692
I don't know.
750
00:39:01,486 --> 00:39:04,072
The truth is I'm not sure I...
751
00:39:04,197 --> 00:39:05,323
You can change.
752
00:39:05,448 --> 00:39:07,116
No.
753
00:39:08,368 --> 00:39:10,954
I'm not sure
I want her to change.
754
00:39:12,789 --> 00:39:15,500
If she's reasonable,
if she's just another employer,
755
00:39:15,625 --> 00:39:20,254
then I'm just another employee.
756
00:39:23,591 --> 00:39:25,843
In a weird way, I matter.
757
00:39:30,932 --> 00:39:34,727
I like you better now
that you're dying.
758
00:39:35,269 --> 00:39:36,729
I was wrong.
759
00:39:36,854 --> 00:39:40,525
You took a shot.
760
00:39:40,650 --> 00:39:44,862
She's going back to work for that idiot.
It's pathetic.
761
00:39:45,780 --> 00:39:47,615
You thought something would change?
762
00:39:47,740 --> 00:39:52,954
She almost died because of that job.
Yeah, I thought...
763
00:39:53,871 --> 00:39:56,040
Almost dying changes nothing.
764
00:40:00,878 --> 00:40:03,006
Dying changes everything.
765
00:40:30,408 --> 00:40:34,787
I'm sorry.
I know I didn't try to kill her,
766
00:40:34,912 --> 00:40:40,084
I know I didn't want her hurt,
I know it was a freak accident,
767
00:40:42,086 --> 00:40:45,548
but I feel like crap,
and she's dead because of me.
768
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:49,177
I don't blame you.
769
00:40:51,054 --> 00:40:53,264
I wanted to. I tried to.
770
00:40:53,389 --> 00:40:57,060
I must've reviewed Amber's case file
a hundred times to find a way...
771
00:40:59,020 --> 00:41:00,730
But it wasn't your fault.
772
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,943
Then we're okay?
773
00:41:07,111 --> 00:41:12,992
I mean, I know you're not,
but maybe I can help.
774
00:41:13,117 --> 00:41:14,702
We're not okay.
775
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:18,706
Amber was never the reason
I was leaving.
776
00:41:19,791 --> 00:41:21,459
I didn't want
to tell you because...
777
00:41:21,584 --> 00:41:22,794
(CHUCKLES)
778
00:41:24,837 --> 00:41:30,134
Because I was trying,
like I always do, to protect you,
779
00:41:31,969 --> 00:41:33,221
which is the problem.
780
00:41:35,056 --> 00:41:39,102
You spread misery
because you can't feel anything else.
781
00:41:39,227 --> 00:41:43,106
You manipulate people because you can't
handle any kind of real relationship.
782
00:41:43,231 --> 00:41:48,528
And I've enabled it for years,
the games, the binges,
783
00:41:48,653 --> 00:41:51,197
the middle-of-the-night phone calls.
784
00:41:53,533 --> 00:41:55,993
I should have been the one
on the bus, not...
785
00:41:59,539 --> 00:42:02,041
You should have been alone on the bus.
786
00:42:03,417 --> 00:42:07,171
If I've learned anything from Amber,
it's that I have to take care of myself.
787
00:42:12,552 --> 00:42:14,428
We're not friends anymore,
House.
788
00:42:17,723 --> 00:42:20,017
I'm not sure we ever were.
