1
00:00:25,088 --> 00:00:28,634
I still can't believe
you talked me into this.
2
00:00:28,759 --> 00:00:31,053
(CHUCKLING) Come on, honey,
you're gonna throw him off.
3
00:00:31,178 --> 00:00:33,555
It's okay,
I'm almost done.
4
00:00:34,723 --> 00:00:35,807
(SIGHS)
5
00:00:35,932 --> 00:00:38,185
A little more light
on your hips.
6
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:39,269
God.
7
00:00:39,394 --> 00:00:41,897
Why couldn't you have come up with this
before I had two kids?
8
00:00:42,022 --> 00:00:45,025
(CHUCKLING)
You look amazing.
9
00:00:46,777 --> 00:00:51,657
Okay, I think... Yeah, I'm done.
Want to come take a look?
10
00:00:52,783 --> 00:00:54,076
(CHUCKLES)
11
00:00:58,413 --> 00:00:59,665
(SIGHS) I can't.
12
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:00,957
(BOTH LAUGHING)
13
00:01:01,083 --> 00:01:02,125
You first.
14
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,794
No, we'll look together.
15
00:01:11,718 --> 00:01:13,762
I don't understand.
I thought...
16
00:01:13,887 --> 00:01:14,846
What the hell is that?
17
00:01:14,971 --> 00:01:16,181
Honey, it's okay.
18
00:01:16,306 --> 00:01:18,225
This is not what we discussed,
or what I paid for.
19
00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:20,852
I don't understand. I think
this is one of the best I've ever done.
20
00:01:20,977 --> 00:01:21,978
I want my money back.
21
00:01:22,104 --> 00:01:24,690
I'm sorry, but this is not
some department store photo studio.
22
00:01:24,815 --> 00:01:26,441
And this is not my wife.
23
00:01:26,566 --> 00:01:27,609
Yes, it is.
24
00:01:27,734 --> 00:01:32,155
You asked me to paint her exactly
as she looks. That's exactly what I did.
25
00:01:33,073 --> 00:01:34,783
Honey! Stop it!
26
00:01:34,908 --> 00:01:36,827
What's going on?
Brandon.
27
00:01:36,952 --> 00:01:41,415
That check better be in my mailbox
by Friday, or I'll be back.
28
00:01:43,041 --> 00:01:44,418
Come on.
29
00:01:45,001 --> 00:01:47,170
- What happened?
- I don't know.
30
00:01:47,295 --> 00:01:49,923
They saw the painting,
and they just freaked out.
31
00:01:53,677 --> 00:01:54,928
Brandon, what is this?
32
00:01:55,053 --> 00:01:56,888
What do you mean?
It's her portrait.
33
00:01:58,598 --> 00:02:00,016
What's wrong with it?
34
00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:42,601
Why is this in here?
35
00:02:42,726 --> 00:02:44,352
First column,
last entry.
36
00:02:46,396 --> 00:02:48,732
Today is going
to be a good day.
37
00:02:53,487 --> 00:02:54,488
This him?
38
00:02:54,613 --> 00:02:56,198
- No.
- Yes.
39
00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:58,992
She means,
are you the private investigator
40
00:02:59,117 --> 00:03:01,828
whose bills I've tried
to slip through as medical expenses?
41
00:03:01,953 --> 00:03:04,581
Oh. Hi.
I'm Lucas Douglas, Pl.
42
00:03:04,706 --> 00:03:07,667
This hospital is not putting
a private investigator on retainer,
43
00:03:07,793 --> 00:03:09,085
nor is it going to pay
any more
44
00:03:09,211 --> 00:03:11,129
phony repairs
on vending machines,
45
00:03:11,254 --> 00:03:12,798
cryostats, or elevators.
46
00:03:12,923 --> 00:03:15,467
Information saves lives.
Saving lives saves money.
47
00:03:15,592 --> 00:03:17,886
No, saving lives
costs money,
48
00:03:18,011 --> 00:03:21,097
which is why I'm trying to make sure
there's still some left.
49
00:03:21,223 --> 00:03:22,766
You want
your own personal Pl,
50
00:03:22,891 --> 00:03:25,519
you're gonna have
to pay for him yourself.
51
00:03:25,644 --> 00:03:27,395
- Sorry.
- No, I understand.
52
00:03:27,729 --> 00:03:29,606
Hey, I like the shoes,
by the way.
53
00:03:30,106 --> 00:03:31,066
Oh.
54
00:03:32,901 --> 00:03:34,361
Thank you.
55
00:03:37,197 --> 00:03:39,658
You don't like her shoes,
you like her legs.
56
00:03:39,783 --> 00:03:41,952
It sounds less creepy
if you say shoes.
57
00:03:42,077 --> 00:03:43,870
Less creepy, more gay.
58
00:03:43,995 --> 00:03:45,497
That's my firm's motto.
59
00:03:46,581 --> 00:03:48,041
What is a cryostat?
60
00:03:48,166 --> 00:03:53,046
No idea. Whoever fixed ours
is about to get stiffed.
61
00:04:05,225 --> 00:04:08,353
There's no distorted perspective
in any of his other recent works.
62
00:04:08,478 --> 00:04:09,896
Not much talent either.
63
00:04:10,021 --> 00:04:11,982
It's like the symptom
just came on.
64
00:04:12,107 --> 00:04:14,860
Acute onset visual agnosia
points to a stroke or brain tumor.
65
00:04:14,985 --> 00:04:16,903
TAUB: MRI revealed
no stroke or brain tumor.
66
00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:18,280
We should do another
with contrast.
67
00:04:18,405 --> 00:04:19,865
If he's like the other
struggling artists I've known,
68
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:20,991
he's also into drugs.
69
00:04:21,116 --> 00:04:23,618
We should...
What are you looking at?
70
00:04:23,743 --> 00:04:25,161
Apparently a moron.
71
00:04:25,287 --> 00:04:27,914
One, ER routinely tests for drugs.
72
00:04:28,039 --> 00:04:30,041
If it was positive,
we wouldn't be looking at this file.
73
00:04:30,166 --> 00:04:34,212
Two, who pays 12% interest
on a car loan?
74
00:04:34,337 --> 00:04:36,631
How did you...
Did you run a credit check on me?
75
00:04:36,756 --> 00:04:38,300
No, that would be illegal.
76
00:04:38,425 --> 00:04:41,511
Interestingly enough, paying someone
to run it for me, though...
77
00:04:41,636 --> 00:04:42,470
(SCOFFS)
78
00:04:45,307 --> 00:04:47,017
What?
It's part of my job.
79
00:04:47,142 --> 00:04:48,518
Your job
is to diagnose patients.
80
00:04:48,643 --> 00:04:49,644
Which I do with a team.
81
00:04:49,769 --> 00:04:52,522
How am I supposed to know
how best to utilize that team
82
00:04:52,647 --> 00:04:54,816
if I don't know
everything about them?
83
00:04:54,941 --> 00:04:57,944
Say that Van Gogh turns out
to have neurosyphilis,
84
00:04:58,069 --> 00:05:00,488
and our last vial of penicillin
is in a storeroom
85
00:05:00,614 --> 00:05:03,909
at the end of a 20-mile hallway
with a two-foot-high ceiling.
86
00:05:04,034 --> 00:05:06,244
You've discovered that one of us
has been hiding the ability
87
00:05:06,369 --> 00:05:08,246
to stretch or
shrink themselves?
88
00:05:08,371 --> 00:05:11,958
No, I would never
out someone's superpowers.
89
00:05:12,918 --> 00:05:14,628
This, on the other hand...
90
00:05:17,255 --> 00:05:19,299
You crawled 20 miles?
91
00:05:19,424 --> 00:05:20,967
My name's
in the Guinness Book.
92
00:05:21,092 --> 00:05:22,844
I'll bet that
really impresses the babes.
93
00:05:22,969 --> 00:05:24,721
I didn't do it
to get the babes.
94
00:05:24,846 --> 00:05:27,349
No, that would cheapen
the purity of your achievement.
95
00:05:27,474 --> 00:05:30,310
Sorry to interrupt, but we have
a patient with a probable brain tumor.
96
00:05:30,435 --> 00:05:33,146
Who needs an MRI with contrast.
We've established that.
97
00:05:33,271 --> 00:05:34,981
What do you got on Taub?
98
00:05:35,982 --> 00:05:37,192
I got nothing on Taub.
99
00:05:37,317 --> 00:05:38,234
THIRTEEN:
Could also be environmental.
100
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,528
We should check his studio
for toxins, mold, fungus...
101
00:05:40,654 --> 00:05:41,863
Taub's wife,
on the other hand...
102
00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:42,864
FOREMAN: House.
103
00:05:43,698 --> 00:05:45,033
That's enough.
104
00:05:46,701 --> 00:05:49,162
Dad's right.
This is no time for gossip.
105
00:05:49,287 --> 00:05:51,623
Patient desperately needs our help.
106
00:05:52,123 --> 00:05:54,167
Check his head
and his house.
107
00:05:54,292 --> 00:05:56,211
- Can't Lucas...
- No.
108
00:05:56,336 --> 00:05:57,712
He's very busy.
109
00:05:59,965 --> 00:06:01,591
FOREMAN: If there is a tumor,
this test will show us...
110
00:06:01,716 --> 00:06:02,926
Is that stuff dangerous?
111
00:06:03,051 --> 00:06:05,011
This is just
the contrast material.
112
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,057
There is a small risk
of an anaphylactic reaction.
113
00:06:09,975 --> 00:06:11,184
I could stop breathing?
114
00:06:11,309 --> 00:06:13,687
Don't worry. We're prepared
to deal with whatever happens.
115
00:06:13,812 --> 00:06:16,272
You know, I did some drawings
this morning and they seem fine.
116
00:06:16,398 --> 00:06:18,233
So, maybe it was just a reaction
to something I ate.
117
00:06:18,358 --> 00:06:20,068
FOREMAN: How many people you know
have reactions like that
118
00:06:20,193 --> 00:06:21,486
to something
they ate for breakfast?
119
00:06:21,611 --> 00:06:22,529
But if I'm
getting better...
120
00:06:22,654 --> 00:06:23,905
You'll continue to get better.
121
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:25,490
If you're not,
we need to know why not,
122
00:06:25,615 --> 00:06:27,909
so we can start
treatment immediately.
123
00:06:28,034 --> 00:06:29,536
Baby, let them do the test.
124
00:06:43,425 --> 00:06:45,635
Can lead poisoning
cause visual agnosia?
125
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,846
TAUB: Not without lead showing up
in the blood work.
126
00:06:47,971 --> 00:06:51,558
Nothing in the medicine cabinet
except some harmless toiletries.
127
00:06:51,683 --> 00:06:54,352
No signs of mold
or fungus anywhere, either.
128
00:06:54,477 --> 00:06:56,396
You think House really
got something on your wife?
129
00:06:56,521 --> 00:06:58,898
No, not that
I care if he did.
130
00:06:59,232 --> 00:07:02,318
Wait, your wife's doing
the doorman in your bed,
131
00:07:02,444 --> 00:07:04,863
and they're sweating all over the sheets
that you paid for and...
132
00:07:04,988 --> 00:07:06,781
- My wife's not doing the doorman.
- How do you know?
133
00:07:06,906 --> 00:07:09,325
We don't have a doorman.
134
00:07:09,451 --> 00:07:12,162
And I just do, okay?
Drop it.
135
00:07:13,288 --> 00:07:16,499
In college, my friends and I came up
with an Inverse-Square Law.
136
00:07:16,624 --> 00:07:17,876
Sounds like
a real fun group.
137
00:07:18,001 --> 00:07:21,421
The girls who you think
are the most inhibited, straight arrows?
138
00:07:21,546 --> 00:07:22,839
They're the ones
you hook up with.
139
00:07:22,964 --> 00:07:24,632
Are you saying
my wife's a slut?
140
00:07:24,758 --> 00:07:27,385
I'm saying if my wife was a slut,
I'd want to know.
141
00:07:31,139 --> 00:07:32,724
KUTNER:
His place was clean.
142
00:07:32,849 --> 00:07:34,142
So is his head.
143
00:07:34,267 --> 00:07:37,520
Even with contrast,
no masses, no lesions.
144
00:07:37,645 --> 00:07:40,565
A neurological symptom
with no apparent neurological cause.
145
00:07:40,690 --> 00:07:43,109
Time course means
we can rule out cancer and MS.
146
00:07:43,234 --> 00:07:45,070
That just leaves
toxins or drugs.
147
00:07:45,195 --> 00:07:47,947
You called Thirteen a moron
for thinking it was drugs.
148
00:07:48,073 --> 00:07:50,033
Yeah, when she said it,
she had other options.
149
00:07:50,158 --> 00:07:53,119
And I really just wanted a segue
into her stupid loan and your...
150
00:07:53,244 --> 00:07:54,954
A cavernous angioma
in the brain could leak.
151
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,414
Once the blood
gets reabsorbed,
152
00:07:56,539 --> 00:07:57,916
pressure goes down,
symptom goes away.
153
00:07:58,041 --> 00:07:59,918
He'll never consent
to petrosal vein sampling.
154
00:08:02,462 --> 00:08:03,463
Really?
155
00:08:03,588 --> 00:08:06,341
He was nervous
about an injection of contrast.
156
00:08:07,217 --> 00:08:09,094
Is his girlfriend hot?
157
00:08:09,844 --> 00:08:11,012
I'm not talking fever, here.
158
00:08:11,137 --> 00:08:13,014
I mean, is she all curvy and perky?
159
00:08:13,139 --> 00:08:15,517
Very. And if he dies,
it's good news for all of us, but...
160
00:08:15,642 --> 00:08:18,394
That explains
why all his paintings suck.
161
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,105
And what's wrong with him.
162
00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:21,648
Where are you going?
163
00:08:21,773 --> 00:08:23,399
To tell him
he may have a massive brain tumor.
164
00:08:23,525 --> 00:08:24,526
He doesn't.
165
00:08:24,651 --> 00:08:27,904
I know. I'm not a moron.
It's drugs.
166
00:08:28,321 --> 00:08:30,115
(DOOR OPENS)
167
00:08:32,075 --> 00:08:34,619
You seem to have
a massive brain tumor.
168
00:08:34,744 --> 00:08:35,870
Who are you?
169
00:08:35,995 --> 00:08:37,956
He's Dr. House.
He's pleased to meet you.
170
00:08:38,081 --> 00:08:39,916
We've found no trace
on any of your imaging,
171
00:08:40,041 --> 00:08:41,793
so we need to cut
your head open.
172
00:08:41,918 --> 00:08:45,130
It's risky,
but it's the only way to save your life.

not afraid of contrast material either,

Since we haven't told you you're fine,

she hasn't even
spent any of it,

any more of my stuff.

Do you have those

343
00:15:52,223 --> 00:15:53,599
No.
344
00:15:53,724 --> 00:15:54,600
You're lying.
345
00:15:54,725 --> 00:15:56,477
You like making him miserable.
346
00:15:56,602 --> 00:15:58,980
You like driving
people away from you.

to know the truth.

even when you can't see it, right?
351
00:16:06,195 --> 00:16:07,613
It was a truth
that mattered to him
352
00:16:07,738 --> 00:16:09,031
and a truth
that mattered to her,
353
00:16:09,156 --> 00:16:10,616
why did it matter to you?
354
00:16:10,741 --> 00:16:14,370
First of all, stop saying "a" truth.
There is only one truth.
355
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:16,038
That may be
true for you.

If your life has meaning,
your job doesn't have to have meaning.

Screw-ups are more palatable
if you have someone's arms to go cry in.

00:16:25,339 --> 00:16:27,258
That makes sense.

of a fight on that one.

So why are you making
Taub miserable?

He left his last job
to save his marriage.
364
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,768
If his marriage falls apart, you think
he'll be working harder for you?
365
00:16:37,893 --> 00:16:40,062
Or you think he won't be
working for you at all?

it's squeezed his tear ducts shut.
374
00:17:14,722 --> 00:17:16,307
We've been lubricating
his eyes by hand.
375
00:17:16,432 --> 00:17:19,477
We've started him on steroids, IV,
and cream to reduce the swelling,
376
00:17:19,602 --> 00:17:20,519
but it's having limited effect.

Could be infection.

Sorry.

I thought
we finished hours ago.
384
00:17:38,913 --> 00:17:40,623
You remember, when we decided
it was the unproven,

unapproved cocktail of drugs he's
been downing like... Like a cocktail.

He just completed
a total dialysis.
387
00:17:47,755 --> 00:17:48,839
If it was the drugs,
he'd be better.
388
00:17:48,964 --> 00:17:50,341

390
00:17:54,178 --> 00:17:55,846
You think swelling
is a symptom of withdrawal?
391
00:17:55,971 --> 00:17:58,349
You think it's a coincidence
that three new symptoms cropped up
392
00:17:58,474 --> 00:17:59,684
as soon as we took him
off the drugs?
393
00:17:59,809 --> 00:18:00,768
It's possible some
of the symptoms...
394
00:18:00,893 --> 00:18:02,520
Either the drugs
are the answer
395
00:18:02,645 --> 00:18:03,813
or the drugs
are a coincidence.
396
00:18:03,938 --> 00:18:05,773
If it's one, we have to find
a better way to detox him.
397
00:18:05,898 --> 00:18:08,776
If it's two, we have to know
which symptoms are withdrawal related
398
00:18:08,901 --> 00:18:10,486
before we can formulate
a diagnosis.
399
00:18:10,611 --> 00:18:12,988
Which means we have to find
a better way to detox him.
400
00:18:13,114 --> 00:18:14,865
So how do we do it?
401
00:18:14,990 --> 00:18:16,367
Hair of the drug
that bit him.
402
00:18:16,492 --> 00:18:17,326
That's ridiculous.
403
00:18:17,451 --> 00:18:19,578
If it is the drugs, they're dangerous,
and they've already caused...
404
00:18:19,704 --> 00:18:21,455
That's why we're
gonna put him back on the drugs,
405
00:18:21,580 --> 00:18:22,790
then wean him off again.
406
00:18:22,915 --> 00:18:24,250
Just much slower.

doesn't he?

so I could go through your desk.

get together for a drink or something.

00:19:18,429 --> 00:19:20,890
I wasn't sure exactly
what you like to do, so I thought...

- You'd spy on me?
- No, no, not spying.
425
00:19:23,476 --> 00:19:26,687

idea to get to know a little bit more

about a woman
before you ask her out.
427
00:19:28,856 --> 00:19:32,026
Show you care about more
than just what she looks like.

as you make that sound,

that what you're doing

caring as creepy.

and you gave money
to Amnesty International.

There's not one thing
I can find out in here

while riding in an elevator.

No. No need for a date.

so I'd have all the time in the world
448
00:20:24,328 --> 00:20:26,705
to ask you all about
you and it would fall
449
00:20:26,831 --> 00:20:29,458
under the category of socializing,
instead of creepy stalking.
450
00:20:29,583 --> 00:20:31,168
- And I'd be paying you?
- I know it's weird.
451

But if you pay me while I check you out,
it's all cool.

00:24:01,462 --> 00:24:03,255
If it's Kliiver-Bucy,
his brain will melt down,
514
00:24:03,380 --> 00:24:04,757
he'll try to swallow
his own hands
515
00:24:04,882 --> 00:24:06,925
and she can take care of him
for the rest of his talentless life.
516
00:24:07,051 --> 00:24:08,052
You owe me an apology.
517
00:24:08,177 --> 00:24:10,054
Any rationalization
you had for meddling
518
00:24:10,179 --> 00:24:11,847
in my private life
disappeared
519
00:24:11,972 --> 00:24:12,973
when she had
good reason...
520
00:24:13,098 --> 00:24:14,391
You're right.
521
00:24:15,726 --> 00:24:18,687
Fact is,
nothing I said applies.
522
00:24:18,812 --> 00:24:20,314
You had no reason
to forgive her,
523
00:24:20,439 --> 00:24:24,151
therefore no reason to seek forgiveness,
no reason to be an idiot.
524
00:24:27,446 --> 00:24:30,199
Kliiver-Bucy wouldn't explain
the seizure or the cytokine storm.
525
00:24:30,324 --> 00:24:31,575
Withdrawal complications.
526
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:34,119
Then again,
she is handing you a giant gift
527
00:24:34,244 --> 00:24:35,537
that you don't think you deserve.
528
00:24:35,662 --> 00:24:38,665
The fact that the MRI showed no lesions
on the temporal lobe tends to rule out
529
00:24:38,791 --> 00:24:40,125
your "lesions
on the temporal lobe" theory.
530
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:43,003
The damage can be a circulatory issue,
rather than structural.
531
00:24:43,128 --> 00:24:45,047
We wouldn't see that
on the MRI.
532
00:24:45,172 --> 00:24:46,048
Foreman's right.
533
00:24:46,173 --> 00:24:47,841
Go call your wife,
tell her you're not coming home,
534
00:24:47,966 --> 00:24:50,761
say you have to give
a patient a cranial MR angiogram,
535
00:24:50,886 --> 00:24:53,430
then say good night
and hang up.
536
00:25:15,202 --> 00:25:20,165
Odd that a man who can't run
would own so many pairs of sneakers.
537
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:22,209
You mind hanging this up
when you're done?
538
00:25:23,335 --> 00:25:25,712
I have to find something
embarrassing about you.
539
00:25:25,838 --> 00:25:29,550
No, you don't.
I ordered us Indian.
540
00:25:29,675 --> 00:25:33,137
Not too embarrassing.
Just something credible.
541
00:25:33,262 --> 00:25:37,141
Well, if you hand her that,
she's not gonna need you anymore.
542
00:25:37,266 --> 00:25:39,351
If I don't hand her anything,
she'll think I'm incompetent.
543
00:25:39,476 --> 00:25:42,563
I don't care if she thinks
you're incompetent.
544
00:25:42,688 --> 00:25:44,439
This isn't gonna work.
545
00:25:44,565 --> 00:25:46,233
It's worked so far.
546
00:25:46,358 --> 00:25:48,026
I'm not good at lying.
547
00:25:48,152 --> 00:25:48,986
I know.
548
00:25:49,111 --> 00:25:51,864
That's why your cover is
that you want to do her.
549
00:25:51,989 --> 00:25:54,783
I like her.
I don't want to do her.
550
00:25:54,908 --> 00:25:56,994
Then what's the point
of liking her?
551
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,913
I meant I don't just want to do her.
I like her.
552
00:26:00,038 --> 00:26:02,541
What do you think
you're gonna find out about her?
553
00:26:03,208 --> 00:26:07,045
Something personal,
something embarrassing.
554
00:26:07,171 --> 00:26:10,382
I spend half my life
negotiating with that woman.
555
00:26:10,507 --> 00:26:13,260
Anything I can use
to scare her into saying yes.
556
00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:19,349
Okay-
557
00:26:21,643 --> 00:26:22,895
"Okay"?
558
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:26,481
You're okay with being paid twice
to facilitate blackmail?
559
00:26:26,607 --> 00:26:29,401
I'm okay. I don't believe you.
But I'm okay.
560
00:26:30,694 --> 00:26:33,864
You're doing this
for the same reason I'm doing this.
561
00:26:33,989 --> 00:26:35,699
We'll see
who gets there first.
562
00:26:39,578 --> 00:26:43,040
Here it is. Circle of Willis,
the vessels are narrow.
563
00:26:43,874 --> 00:26:46,293
Narrow for you,
normal for him.
564
00:26:46,418 --> 00:26:47,711
If there were problems
with the vessels,
565
00:26:47,836 --> 00:26:49,213
he would have had symptoms
long ago.
566
00:26:49,338 --> 00:26:51,965
- Not if something else changed.
- Like?
567
00:26:52,090 --> 00:26:52,925
TAUB: His heart.
568
00:26:53,050 --> 00:26:54,885
He could have recently gotten
an intermittent arrhythmia.
569
00:26:55,010 --> 00:26:57,554
I know "heart" and "head" start
with the same three letters,
570
00:26:57,679 --> 00:27:00,140
but you've got to read
all the way to the end.
571
00:27:00,265 --> 00:27:01,892
The experimental drugs
cause an arrhythmia
572
00:27:02,017 --> 00:27:03,685
which causes low blood pressure.
573
00:27:03,810 --> 00:27:05,354
Combine that
with those narrow vessels,
574
00:27:05,479 --> 00:27:07,022
the brain doesn't
get enough blood.
575
00:27:07,147 --> 00:27:08,857
That causes
all of his symptoms.
576
00:27:08,982 --> 00:27:10,651
If we can trigger the arrhythmia
and identify it,
577
00:27:10,776 --> 00:27:13,278
we might be able to stop it
from killing him.
578
00:27:15,697 --> 00:27:17,199
- Been home?
- No.
579
00:27:18,617 --> 00:27:21,578
Good. Do an EP study.
Find the arrhythmia.
580
00:27:24,873 --> 00:27:27,417
We're gonna insert three
electrical catheters into your heart.
581
00:27:27,542 --> 00:27:28,961
Tell Dr. Hadley I'm sorry.
582
00:27:29,086 --> 00:27:31,672
She understands,
and you should tell her yourself.
583
00:27:31,797 --> 00:27:33,173
Maybe I should tell
Heather about it.
584
00:27:33,298 --> 00:27:34,508
You're gonna be fine.
585
00:27:34,633 --> 00:27:38,971
She's so supportive, she's so great.
All I do is lie to her.
586
00:27:39,096 --> 00:27:41,473
What happens if you tell her?
587
00:27:41,890 --> 00:27:43,350
I don't know.
588
00:27:43,475 --> 00:27:45,060
You love her, right?
589
00:27:45,185 --> 00:27:46,436
More than anything,
and she loves me.
590
00:27:46,561 --> 00:27:48,814
If you open your mouth,
one of two things happens,
591
00:27:48,939 --> 00:27:51,066
she either forgives you
or she leaves you.
592
00:27:51,191 --> 00:27:54,152
At best, you wind up
exactly where you are right now.
593
00:27:54,278 --> 00:27:57,155
It's noble to want to confess.
Really, it is.
594
00:27:57,281 --> 00:27:59,783
But if the result's
just damage and pain,
595
00:27:59,908 --> 00:28:02,077
that's not noble,
it's selfish.
596
00:28:05,038 --> 00:28:07,624
TAUB: Stimulate right atrium.
597
00:28:07,749 --> 00:28:08,875
Normal conduction.
598
00:28:09,001 --> 00:28:11,253
How long you plan
on keeping me from going home?
599
00:28:11,378 --> 00:28:13,547
Until you're convinced
I'm a different person,
600
00:28:13,672 --> 00:28:15,757
one who won't do
anything stupid?
601
00:28:16,675 --> 00:28:20,178
Guilt fades quickly.
By Wednesday, you'll be fine.
602
00:28:21,138 --> 00:28:24,099
Right ventricle.
And why do you want it to fade?
603
00:28:24,224 --> 00:28:26,226
Why do you suddenly care
about my marriage?
604
00:28:26,351 --> 00:28:28,270
Because if it ain't broke...
605
00:28:28,395 --> 00:28:30,022
You obviously think
it is broke.
606
00:28:30,147 --> 00:28:31,565
And you obviously
think it ain't.
607
00:28:31,690 --> 00:28:33,400
Your marriage
is like a broken toaster.
608
00:28:33,525 --> 00:28:35,485
Bread keeps popping out,
and you keep calling it toast,
609
00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:37,863
which is weird because you've put
your bread in a lot of toasters,
610
00:28:37,988 --> 00:28:40,574
and apparently you don't see any
difference. It's kind of fascinating.
611
00:28:40,699 --> 00:28:42,117
(MACHINE BEEPING)
He's going into V-tach.
612
00:28:42,242 --> 00:28:43,076
What's wrong?
613
00:28:43,201 --> 00:28:45,287
Good news,
test is working.
614
00:28:45,412 --> 00:28:47,956
Your heart's freaking out, but it's cool
that you're still conscious.
615
00:28:48,081 --> 00:28:49,666
(WHEEZING)
Try to overdrive.
616
00:28:50,292 --> 00:28:51,543
Didn't work.
617

(PANTING)
618
00:28:57,966 --> 00:29:00,969
This might burn a little bit.
Charging to 60. Clear.
619
00:29:01,345 --> 00:29:02,471
0w!
620
00:29:03,388 --> 00:29:05,223
Going again.
Charging to 120.
621
00:29:05,349 --> 00:29:07,351
Have you been
dyeing your hair?
622
00:29:09,102 --> 00:29:11,021
- No.
- House. Clear.
623
00:29:11,146 --> 00:29:12,356
Right.
624
00:29:13,023 --> 00:29:14,066
(GROANS)
625
00:29:15,317 --> 00:29:16,693
Your hair's growing in red.
626
00:29:16,818 --> 00:29:18,612
(BRANDON PANTING)
627
00:29:18,737 --> 00:29:21,073
TAUB:
His heart rate is stabilized.
628
00:29:21,198 --> 00:29:23,367
Does your theory include
any genetic mutations
629
00:29:23,492 --> 00:29:25,786
that could cause
his hair to change color?
630
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:29,748
Then either
he's lying about dyeing
631
00:29:30,624 --> 00:29:32,334
or just dying.
632
00:29:36,046 --> 00:29:37,881
Red hair means it's not Kliiver-Bucy.
633
00:29:38,006 --> 00:29:40,342
Melanin affects hair color.
What affects melanin?
634
00:29:40,467 --> 00:29:42,427
- Hormones.
- Hormone panels were all normal.
635
00:29:42,552 --> 00:29:43,595
Age.
636
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,472
He's turning prematurely crimson?
637
00:29:45,597 --> 00:29:46,681
FOREMAN:
A genetic disorder.
638
00:29:46,807 --> 00:29:49,726
Waardenburg Syndrome causes
arrhythmias and can change hair color.
639
00:29:49,851 --> 00:29:51,395
And make you deaf. Next.
640
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,648
I found a long QT interval.
I think it's Romano-Ward Syndrome.
641
00:29:54,773 --> 00:29:56,525
Explains the irregular heart rhythms.
642
00:29:56,650 --> 00:29:57,776
But not the ginger nut.
643
00:29:57,901 --> 00:30:00,570
FOREMAN: If he's got Romano's,
he's got at least five gene mutations.
644
00:30:00,695 --> 00:30:02,864
It's not a big leap to think he has
others that would give him the hair.
645
00:30:02,989 --> 00:30:05,951
It also gives him the likelihood
of sudden and unexpected death.
646
00:30:06,076 --> 00:30:09,871
Beta blockers don't work.
His heart can't handle an ICD.

Pete Best.
648
00:30:16,002 --> 00:30:19,297
Good God, has none of you
ever read a history book?
649
00:30:19,423 --> 00:30:21,591
The original Beatles drummer.
650
00:30:21,716 --> 00:30:23,969
A bunch of nerves
controls the tempo of the heart.
651
00:30:24,094 --> 00:30:26,555
They're all playing in time,
except one dude who can't keep the beat,
652
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,057
wrecks the whole thing,
so we hire Ringo.
653
00:30:29,182 --> 00:30:30,851
Pete Best was actually
a great drummer.
654
00:30:30,976 --> 00:30:33,562
But I assume you mean the patient
needs a cardiac sympathectomy?
655
00:30:33,687 --> 00:30:34,896
I probably should have
just said that, huh?
656
00:30:35,021 --> 00:30:38,233
You start cutting nerves, you risk
his swallowing, vocal cords, sweating...
657
00:30:38,358 --> 00:30:41,820
So he saves a fortune
on karaoke machines and deodorant.
658
00:30:41,945 --> 00:30:43,947
You think he's stable
enough for surgery?
659
00:30:45,699 --> 00:30:47,492
If he was,
he wouldn't need it.
660
00:30:51,663 --> 00:30:52,914
CUDDY: Wow.
661
00:30:57,544 --> 00:30:59,045
- Wow.
- Yeah.
662
00:30:59,546 --> 00:31:01,882
Do you have
any brothers and sisters?
663
00:31:02,007 --> 00:31:03,216
One sister.
664
00:31:03,341 --> 00:31:05,051
He told me he was
on the lacrosse team.
665
00:31:05,177 --> 00:31:09,389
In high school. In college he just
cheered the lacrosse team on to victory.
666
00:31:09,514 --> 00:31:10,974
- Wow.
- Yeah.
667
00:31:11,892 --> 00:31:13,643
How was your relationship
with your dad?
668
00:31:13,768 --> 00:31:15,979
Fine.
You have three more questions.
669
00:31:16,104 --> 00:31:17,272
How was your relationship
with your mom?
670
00:31:17,397 --> 00:31:18,440
Fine.
671
00:31:18,565 --> 00:31:20,734
When did you lose
your virginity?
672
00:31:20,859 --> 00:31:24,404
Not something I discuss
with co-workers in an elevator.
673
00:31:26,364 --> 00:31:27,699
And...
674
00:31:28,617 --> 00:31:29,910
And...
675
00:31:32,787 --> 00:31:34,080
You know, don't you?
676
00:31:37,125 --> 00:31:39,544
Bit of a wasted
third question
677
00:31:40,128 --> 00:31:42,214
'cause the answer is
"Know what?"
678
00:31:42,339 --> 00:31:43,882
Okay,
bear with me here,
679
00:31:44,007 --> 00:31:47,844
because some people sometimes consider
my thought processes complicated.
680
00:31:47,969 --> 00:31:51,181
I'm into you
'cause you're hot and smart,
681
00:31:51,306 --> 00:31:53,517
in that order,
but both are needed.
682
00:31:53,642 --> 00:31:55,143
Photos can be retouched,
683
00:31:55,268 --> 00:31:59,022
and House is an evil genius,
which makes this photo suspicious.
684
00:31:59,147 --> 00:32:00,774
And yet you're
not suspicious.
685
00:32:00,899 --> 00:32:02,817
Which means either you're not
smart enough to be suspicious,
686
00:32:02,943 --> 00:32:06,571
in which case,
I am less interested in you.
687
00:32:06,696 --> 00:32:09,241
Or you're not suspicious
because you know
688
00:32:09,366 --> 00:32:12,118
this is actually
a doctored photo of House.
689
00:32:12,244 --> 00:32:15,413
In which case,
I am more interested in you.
690
00:32:15,539 --> 00:32:17,499
But I'm wasting my time
because you know
691
00:32:17,624 --> 00:32:19,167
this is a game
we are playing on you
692
00:32:19,292 --> 00:32:22,212
and I am busted
and I'm screwed.
693
00:32:24,923 --> 00:32:26,675
I know the photo's a fake.
694
00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:29,469
I know this is a game.
695
00:32:29,803 --> 00:32:31,263
Sorry.
696
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:35,559
Too bad.
697
00:32:37,978 --> 00:32:39,563
Good bye.
698
00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:50,323
So you knew that I wasn't
gonna give you anything worthwhile?
699
00:32:50,448 --> 00:32:53,368
And you were never gonna give me
anything worthwhile?
700
00:32:55,161 --> 00:32:56,997
Then why did you bother
coming out with me?
701
00:32:57,122 --> 00:32:59,666
I wanted to screw with House.
702
00:33:00,875 --> 00:33:04,713
By wasting my time?
That doesn't make sense.
703
00:33:06,256 --> 00:33:10,385
No.
There must be another reason.
704
00:33:11,553 --> 00:33:12,512
Hmm.
705
00:33:12,637 --> 00:33:15,390
Is it okay
if I sit back down here?
706
00:33:16,349 --> 00:33:17,642
(CHUCKLES)
707
00:33:19,769 --> 00:33:21,271
THIRTEEN:
Your heartbeat's out of control.
708
00:33:21,396 --> 00:33:24,816
We need to surgically sever the
connection between your heart and brain.
709
00:33:24,941 --> 00:33:28,278
We believe it's necessary,
but you need to know the ramifications.
710
00:33:28,403 --> 00:33:30,196
You'll never be able
to feel angina.
711
00:33:30,322 --> 00:33:32,407
You may not know
if you have a heart attack,
712
00:33:32,532 --> 00:33:34,534
may not be able
to get help in time.
713
00:33:34,659 --> 00:33:36,911
Where are my regular doctors?
714
00:33:37,037 --> 00:33:38,038
Regular doctors?
715
00:33:38,163 --> 00:33:39,998
Dr. Taub and Dr. Hadley.
716
00:33:40,123 --> 00:33:42,167
Why aren't they telling me this?
717
00:33:42,292 --> 00:33:45,003
Brandon, I am Dr. Hadley,
and this is Dr. Taub.
718
00:33:46,087 --> 00:33:50,383
What are you talking about?
I've never seen you before in my life.
719
00:33:56,473 --> 00:33:57,807
TAUB:
We can't do the surgery.
720
00:33:57,932 --> 00:33:59,559
We're back to where we started,
visual agnosia.
721
00:33:59,684 --> 00:34:01,311
We need to re-examine
neurological disorders,
722
00:34:01,436 --> 00:34:03,313
- something slowly progressing.
- This isn't progressing.
723
00:34:03,438 --> 00:34:05,273
It's there,
then it's not, then it is.
724
00:34:05,398 --> 00:34:07,942
It's a new symptom, intermittence.
725
00:34:09,110 --> 00:34:10,111
It's irrelevant.
726
00:34:10,236 --> 00:34:11,988
Since when
is a new symptom irrelevant?
727
00:34:12,113 --> 00:34:13,948
Since it points towards
the same disease.
728
00:34:14,074 --> 00:34:15,700
Intermittence can fit
with Romano-Ward.
729
00:34:15,825 --> 00:34:17,285
We still need to do
a sympathectomy.
730
00:34:17,410 --> 00:34:19,245
Maybe we missed something, toxins.
731
00:34:19,371 --> 00:34:21,706
When?
When you checked every bottle,
732
00:34:21,831 --> 00:34:24,542
every can, every tube of paint,
or when you detoxed him twice?
733
00:34:24,668 --> 00:34:26,628
Maybe there was
a batch of toxic paint
734
00:34:26,753 --> 00:34:28,213
that he used up
a few months ago.
735
00:34:28,338 --> 00:34:30,131
Then he would have been
sick months ago, not now.
736
00:34:30,256 --> 00:34:31,883
He's lost weight
since he got here.
737
00:34:32,008 --> 00:34:33,677
That's a symptom of trying
to cram hospital food
738
00:34:33,802 --> 00:34:35,136
down a throat
he can barely get air down.
739
00:34:35,261 --> 00:34:36,304
It's not a symptom,
740
00:34:36,429 --> 00:34:40,183
but what if the toxins were stored
in his fat cells a year ago,
741
00:34:40,308 --> 00:34:44,604
and now they're being
released into his bloodstream?
742
00:34:44,729 --> 00:34:47,607
So where are you gonna
get this old paint, the city dump?
743
00:34:47,732 --> 00:34:50,777
On his old paintings.
We know he hasn't sold one in ages,
744
00:34:50,902 --> 00:34:54,155
but there weren't many in his studio.
He's hid them somewhere.
745
00:34:54,989 --> 00:34:57,283
If you're wrong,
he could drop dead
746
00:34:57,409 --> 00:35:00,370
from Romano-Ward at any moment.
You okay with that?
747
00:35:00,495 --> 00:35:02,622
Just give me a few hours.
748
00:35:02,747 --> 00:35:04,040
You got one.
749
00:35:11,172 --> 00:35:13,049
I need to talk
to him alone.
750
00:35:13,174 --> 00:35:16,052
It's about your work.
Your paintings.
751
00:35:16,177 --> 00:35:19,723
I need to look at all the ones
you've sold recently.
752
00:35:25,145 --> 00:35:26,396
Honey, can you
give us a minute?
753
00:35:26,521 --> 00:35:28,398
To talk about
your paintings?
754
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,027
Brandon, please.
Tell me what's going on.
755
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:46,249
I've only sold two paintings
in the last three years, since we met.
756
00:35:47,542 --> 00:35:49,210
One was to my cousin.
757
00:35:49,335 --> 00:35:52,255
I've been making money
enrolling in drug trials.
758
00:35:52,380 --> 00:35:55,049
Two, three at a time.
759
00:36:01,973 --> 00:36:04,225
Why did you lie to me?
760
00:36:04,350 --> 00:36:05,727
I want to be...
761
00:36:07,979 --> 00:36:11,691
The way you look at me,
the way it makes me feel...
762
00:36:11,816 --> 00:36:16,488
I want to be what you see
when you look at me.
763
00:36:21,159 --> 00:36:23,161
You think
I'm that shallow?
764
00:36:24,537 --> 00:36:28,958
When I look at you,
I see you.
765
00:36:43,097 --> 00:36:44,265
So,
766
00:36:47,143 --> 00:36:49,062
where are the ones
you didn't sell?
767
00:37:02,242 --> 00:37:03,201
(THUDDING)
768
00:38:10,852 --> 00:38:12,395
(PHONE RINGING)
769
00:38:17,233 --> 00:38:19,068
It's not the paint,
it's the drugs.
770
00:38:19,193 --> 00:38:20,403
He's not on the drugs
771
00:38:20,528 --> 00:38:21,404
I know it doesn't make sense,
772
00:38:21,529 --> 00:38:23,740
but I'm looking at his paintings
for the last six months.
773
00:38:23,865 --> 00:38:26,701
They're normal
April, June and August,
774
00:38:26,826 --> 00:38:29,913
but they're distorted
May, July, September.
775
00:38:30,038 --> 00:38:32,332
Every other month,
he was having visual agnosia
776
00:38:32,457 --> 00:38:35,460
because every other month, he was
on all three drugs simultaneously.
777
00:38:35,585 --> 00:38:38,504
The statin was one month on,
one month off.
778
00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:40,298
I don't know why the symptoms
keep coming and going,
779
00:38:40,423 --> 00:38:42,050
but it is the drugs.
780
00:38:42,842 --> 00:38:44,427
They're hiding
under the stairs.
781
00:38:44,552 --> 00:38:46,220
In the fat?
That doesn't make sense.
782
00:38:46,346 --> 00:38:47,513
These drugs aren't fat soluble.
783
00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:49,724
I said stairs, not closet.
784
00:38:49,849 --> 00:38:52,602
What was the last drug he was on
before the drugs he was on
785
00:38:52,727 --> 00:38:53,853
when the symptoms started?
786
00:38:53,978 --> 00:38:55,104
I'm not sure, I think...
787
00:38:55,229 --> 00:38:56,522
Antacid.
788
00:38:57,106 --> 00:38:59,067
- How do you know?
- It makes sense.
789
00:38:59,943 --> 00:39:01,778
Also, I'm looking
at the file.
790
00:39:03,947 --> 00:39:05,281
(PHONE RINGING)
791
00:39:06,616 --> 00:39:07,742
Yes.
792
00:39:11,579 --> 00:39:12,956
It's Dr. House.
793
00:39:13,498 --> 00:39:15,041
Wake him up.
We're done.
794
00:39:15,166 --> 00:39:18,252
No, no, he says he needs surgery,
but not this one.
795
00:39:18,378 --> 00:39:19,671
Did he give any specifics?
796
00:39:19,796 --> 00:39:22,590
Abdominal surgery
to remove a bezoar.
797
00:39:24,217 --> 00:39:28,096
It's like a hairball,
but it's made up of undigested food.
798
00:39:28,221 --> 00:39:30,139
You can get it
if your stomach acid's low,
799
00:39:30,264 --> 00:39:33,434
which Brandon's was
because of an experimental antacid.
800
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:35,812
The fruit and vegetable
fibers and skins
801
00:39:35,937 --> 00:39:38,147
get stuck together
and form a ball.
802
00:39:38,272 --> 00:39:40,984
It gets sticky,
ferments, grows.
803
00:39:41,109 --> 00:39:43,611
It starts sucking up
some of the pills he'd taken.
804
00:39:43,736 --> 00:39:46,906
Some are never heard from again,
but some get released.
805
00:39:47,031 --> 00:39:49,033
For the last week,
it's basically been giving him
806
00:39:49,158 --> 00:39:51,786
massive doses
of all three at once.
807
00:39:56,541 --> 00:40:00,169
That is why I won't
let Cameron buy a cat.
808
00:40:01,045 --> 00:40:02,463
He should be fine.
809
00:40:02,588 --> 00:40:03,965
(CHUCKLES)
810
00:40:05,967 --> 00:40:07,969
Are you glad
he told you the truth?
811
00:40:08,094 --> 00:40:09,929
Yes. Of course.
812
00:40:12,181 --> 00:40:16,144
But were you happier
before you knew?
813
00:40:24,986 --> 00:40:27,196
About 10 more feet.
814
00:40:27,321 --> 00:40:30,116
I do know what it looks like,
so maybe this whole blindfold thing...
815
00:40:30,241 --> 00:40:33,244
Shh. My gift, my rules.
Bump!
816
00:40:34,537 --> 00:40:36,289
All right,
if you don't like the color,
817
00:40:36,414 --> 00:40:37,540
apparently we can exchange it,
818
00:40:37,665 --> 00:40:40,084
but I'm hoping...
You ready?
819
00:40:43,129 --> 00:40:44,464
Ta-da!
820
00:40:45,673 --> 00:40:46,924
(CHUCKLES)
821
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:48,926
Do you like it?
822
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:57,518
Baby, are you okay?
823
00:41:06,819 --> 00:41:08,529
We need to talk.
824
00:41:11,657 --> 00:41:13,701
(PIANO PLAYING)
825
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,388
She didn't buy it.
826
00:41:34,514 --> 00:41:35,890
Damn.
827
00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:37,558
(PIANO PLAYING)
828
00:41:37,683 --> 00:41:39,185
So, you didn't get anything?
829
00:41:39,310 --> 00:41:42,647
Nothing.
We probably overstepped.
830
00:41:42,772 --> 00:41:45,441
You're really not
the cheerleader type.
831
00:41:45,566 --> 00:41:49,612
On the other hand, I figured she
probably wouldn't figure me as the
832
00:41:49,737 --> 00:41:54,200
"Photoshopping a photo and planting it
in a college paper" type either.
833
00:41:54,325 --> 00:41:57,245
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah. About that,
834
00:41:58,830 --> 00:42:00,957
I took a little trip
to your alma mater.
835
00:42:02,625 --> 00:42:06,295
You took a little trip
150 miles?
836
00:42:06,420 --> 00:42:10,883
Online, by phone.
I meant I did research.
837
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,890
That's a real photo,
isn't it?
838
00:42:19,892 --> 00:42:20,726
(EXCLAIMS)
839
00:42:20,852 --> 00:42:22,436
Wow, that is humiliating.
840
00:42:22,562 --> 00:42:24,230
(PIANO PLAYING)
841
00:42:25,356 --> 00:42:27,150
There was a girl.
842
00:42:28,442 --> 00:42:30,153
Even more so.
843
00:42:30,278 --> 00:42:32,780
That's too bad. You wanted her
to see you in a different light,
844
00:42:32,905 --> 00:42:35,783
and not only
didn't she see it,
845
00:42:35,908 --> 00:42:38,661
but she didn't even believe
it was possible.
846
00:42:39,871 --> 00:42:43,708
You know, people hate people
who have theories about people.
847
00:42:52,341 --> 00:42:53,926
You want me to back off?
848
00:42:54,051 --> 00:42:56,012
Would you?
849
00:42:56,137 --> 00:42:57,847
I barely know you.
