00:00:10,032 --> 00:00:12,326
- Hey.
- MAN: Hey, I'll be right there.

00:00:12,451 --> 00:00:13,952
Take your time.

4
00:00:14,995 --> 00:00:16,788
You mind if I get a drink of water?

5
00:00:16,913 --> 00:00:18,874
No, no. Not at all, help yourself.

00:00:33,263 --> 00:00:35,682
Not exactly beach reading, huh?

8
00:00:36,016 --> 00:00:38,894
- Do you understand any of that stuff?
- Well, most of these I can get through.

9
00:00:39,019 --> 00:00:41,772
But that one,
I can't get past the dust jacket.

10
00:00:41,897 --> 00:00:43,148
- Where's Ted?
- Laid off.

11
00:00:43,273 --> 00:00:44,816
Company's going
with per diam workers.

12
00:00:44,941 --> 00:00:47,277
You don't have to pay overtime,
health insurance.

13
00:00:47,402 --> 00:00:48,779
Wow, that sucks.

14
00:00:48,904 --> 00:00:52,699
I don't mind. Really. I'm not
a 40-hour-a-week kind of guy.

15
00:00:55,035 --> 00:00:57,579
Uh, if I could just get you to sign...

16
00:00:57,704 --> 00:00:59,039
Right. Um...

17
00:01:00,457 --> 00:01:03,502
Hang on one second.
I wanna show you something.

You're gonna laugh,

21
00:01:08,548 --> 00:01:12,094
but I swear this guy, James Sidas,
looks exactly like you.

22
00:01:14,971 --> 00:01:16,807
Wait, hang on a second.

23
00:01:17,974 --> 00:01:20,519
This guy is you.
I saw a profile Nova did on you.

24
00:01:20,644 --> 00:01:23,355
You're like the youngest guy
to ever graduate MIT.

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,566
- Standards were lower back then.
- You got an IQ of 178.

26
00:01:26,692 --> 00:01:30,862
Published three books and 35 papers,
all before the age of 18?

27
00:01:30,987 --> 00:01:31,947
Yeah.

28
00:01:32,698 --> 00:01:35,826
Sorry, I really need to get going, so
if I could just get you to sign off...

29
00:01:35,951 --> 00:01:39,454
Alright. I'll trade you.
I'll sign if you'll sign.

30
00:01:39,579 --> 00:01:41,373
- I'm not that guy anymore.
- Come on, man.

31
00:01:41,498 --> 00:01:45,460
This is the most exciting thing
that's happened in this place in years.

32
00:01:53,009 --> 00:01:55,554
(LAUGHING)
Come on, don't be like that.

33
00:01:55,679 --> 00:01:57,472
I'm paying you a compliment.

34
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:01,351
It's not that. I'm...

35
00:02:02,769 --> 00:02:03,895
My hand's not working.

36
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:06,982
Hey, hey. Whoa, whoa. You OK?

37
00:02:09,693 --> 00:02:10,736
No.

38
00:02:50,358 --> 00:02:52,068
- $2.32.
- Put it on Dr. Wilson's tab.

39
00:02:52,194 --> 00:02:55,489
I don't know who Dr. Wilson is,
and we don't have tabs.

40
00:02:55,614 --> 00:02:57,073
Do you know who I am?

41
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:58,867
- No.
- Good.

42
00:02:58,992 --> 00:03:00,452
But, sir...

43
00:03:00,577 --> 00:03:02,621
I got it. It's alright.

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,415
Thanks.

45
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:07,542
Although, I should make it clear
that for two bucks,

46
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:09,753
all you get is top half,
over the clothes.

47
00:03:09,878 --> 00:03:10,962

48
00:03:11,087 --> 00:03:13,006
Any plans for turkey day?

49
00:03:13,131 --> 00:03:16,051
Going to my sister's for dinner. Why?

50
00:03:16,301 --> 00:03:17,969
Just making pleasant conversation.

51
00:03:18,094 --> 00:03:19,971
I heard tell of folks doing such.

52
00:03:20,096 --> 00:03:22,224
How about we talk about this?

53
00:03:22,349 --> 00:03:25,227
Fifteen-year-old,
recurring migraines and blurred vision.

54
00:03:25,352 --> 00:03:26,561
- Great.
- Really?

55
00:03:26,686 --> 00:03:28,688
Sure. There's no point
putting a band together

56
00:03:28,814 --> 00:03:32,859
- if we're not gonna play any gigs.
- Hold on. Take this instead.

57
00:03:32,984 --> 00:03:34,694
I was expecting more resistance.

58
00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:38,615
That was the old me. New me
is static guarded and friction free.

59
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:40,534
Enjoy your drumstick.

60
00:03:45,789 --> 00:03:47,791
Ready to save some lives?

00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:52,295
Thirty-two-year-old courier,
ataxia, anemia, mild cough.

62

63
00:03:54,130 --> 00:03:56,007
What are you so excited about?

64
00:03:56,132 --> 00:03:58,009
Why wouldn't I be?
Got all my starters back,

65
00:03:58,134 --> 00:04:02,097
plus a couple of first-class
free agents. I feel like Mike Tomlin.

66
00:04:03,014 --> 00:04:05,141
Probably not as much as you do,
but you get the idea.

67
00:04:05,267 --> 00:04:08,019
Ataxia and anemia, could be viral,
maybe West Nile.

68
00:04:08,144 --> 00:04:12,023
No fever, lymph glands were normal.
Anybody seen Wilson?

69
00:04:12,148 --> 00:04:15,318
- Hyperbilirubinemia?
- Yeah, like that's a real thing.

70
00:04:15,443 --> 00:04:18,029
- Meningitis.
- Anemia's a stretch.

71
00:04:18,154 --> 00:04:21,867
- Page Dr. James Wilson at 558.
- TAUB: What about sickle cell?

72
00:04:21,992 --> 00:04:23,410
- The guy's white.
- Whites can get it.

73
00:04:23,535 --> 00:04:26,037
Come on. We get the tennis elbow
and all the money,

74
00:04:26,162 --> 00:04:27,163
let them have sickle cell.

75
00:04:27,289 --> 00:04:30,000
- TTP is a better fit.
- He's right.

76
00:04:34,713 --> 00:04:36,965
What, you thought I wouldn't agree
with him? Ever?

77
00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:39,301
Well, you didn't agree with him.
That's why he dumped you.

78
00:04:39,426 --> 00:04:40,802
Oh, sorry, it was mutual.

79
00:04:40,927 --> 00:04:43,054
We're cool, OK?
Nobody's angry, nobody's hurt.

80
00:04:43,179 --> 00:04:44,472
HOUSE: Sounds passionate.
(CLEARS THROAT)

81
00:04:44,598 --> 00:04:46,808
- TTP makes sense to me.
- Not to me.

00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:51,146
- What if he had a history of...
- One big happy family. TTP it is.

Confirm with a blood smear
and ADAMTS13 antibodies.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. James Wilson, please dial 558.

85
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,072
- Can you cure it?
- TTP isn't completely curable,

86
00:05:01,197 --> 00:05:03,491
but the symptoms are manageable
with the proper treatment.

87
00:05:03,617 --> 00:05:04,659
Is this the treatment?

88
00:05:04,784 --> 00:05:07,078
No. First we need to do a blood test
to confirm the diagnosis.

89
00:05:07,203 --> 00:05:08,204
But he's gonna get better?

90
00:05:08,330 --> 00:05:11,041
SIDAS: Honey, that's what she's saying.
I'm gonna be OK. Don't worry.

91
00:05:11,166 --> 00:05:13,084
How can't I worry?
You're in the hospital.

92
00:05:13,209 --> 00:05:14,794
I'm gonna be fine.

93
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,671
Are you sure everything was fine before?

94
00:05:16,796 --> 00:05:18,548
I mean, given your
educational background,

95
00:05:18,673 --> 00:05:21,092
you'd think you could at least find
a job with a medical plan.

96
00:05:21,217 --> 00:05:23,803
- We have money. Don't worry.
- TAUB: It's not that.

97
00:05:23,929 --> 00:05:27,140
It's just I want to make sure we have
all the information we should.

98
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:28,558
My husband wouldn't lie.

99
00:05:28,683 --> 00:05:30,644
It's OK, baby. He's just doing his job.

100
00:05:30,769 --> 00:05:35,106
He just wants to make sure I'm not
a secret drug addict or an alcoholic.

101
00:05:35,231 --> 00:05:38,068
Or hiding a history of mental illness.

102
00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:42,238
I work as a courier because I want to.

103
00:05:42,364 --> 00:05:44,908
- It's easy. I don't have to think.
- It's too hard to think?

104
00:05:45,033 --> 00:05:47,035
No. Just unpleasant.

105
00:05:48,244 --> 00:05:50,956
No matter what I did,
it really wasn't good enough.

106
00:05:51,081 --> 00:05:53,333
Then I met Dara.
She didn't care how smart I was,

107
00:05:53,458 --> 00:05:56,044
or what I might accomplish
in the future.

108
00:05:56,169 --> 00:05:59,381
It was the first time in my life
that I was really happy.

109
00:05:59,506 --> 00:06:03,218
So I decided I would rather
be happy than smart.

111
00:06:14,688 --> 00:06:16,231
You alright?

112
00:06:17,232 --> 00:06:20,151
Sorry. I know you're not OK. I mean...

113
00:06:21,277 --> 00:06:22,487
She left.

114
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,031
Went back to Chicago.

115
00:06:26,116 --> 00:06:28,827
- Any chance of reconciliation?
- No.

116
00:06:29,869 --> 00:06:31,788
You sure you don't wanna
grab a drink after work?

117
00:06:31,913 --> 00:06:34,165
I figured we could talk about
the perils of dating doctors.

118
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:36,501
- I wasn't dating Cameron.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

119
00:06:36,626 --> 00:06:39,671
I know what you're doing,
and I appreciate it.

120
00:06:39,796 --> 00:06:42,007
But I've got it under control.

121
00:06:42,132 --> 00:06:46,011
That's what you said about the Dibala
incident, and obviously you didn't.

122
00:06:46,136 --> 00:06:49,556
And talking about it obviously
made things so much better.

123
00:06:54,811 --> 00:06:58,064
Didn't you think there was
something weird about that guy?

124
00:06:58,189 --> 00:07:00,442
Not really. In fact,
he seemed pretty normal.

125
00:07:00,567 --> 00:07:02,193
That's my point.

126
00:07:02,318 --> 00:07:06,740
Guys with lQs off the chart
are usually completely abnormal.

127
00:07:07,657 --> 00:07:09,951
Speaking of House,
why did you come back?

128
00:07:10,076 --> 00:07:11,411
You must have taken a major pay cut.

129
00:07:11,536 --> 00:07:13,038
Life's too short to worry about money.

130
00:07:13,163 --> 00:07:14,205
Your wife feel the same way?

131
00:07:14,330 --> 00:07:17,208
She's happy to cut back on some things.

132
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:18,710
Like sex.

133
00:07:20,587 --> 00:07:22,213
- Why'd you come back?
- Why wouldn't I?

134
00:07:22,338 --> 00:07:25,800
Like Foreman said,
nobody's angry, nobody's hurt.

135
00:07:25,925 --> 00:07:27,052
Sch istocytes.

136
00:07:28,094 --> 00:07:29,304
That means TTP.

137
00:07:29,429 --> 00:07:31,848
Which is what we thought it'd be,
remember? This is a good thing.

138
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:35,101
This is an easy thing, and House
doesn't take cases that are easy,

139
00:07:35,226 --> 00:07:36,686
which means it's not TTP.

140
00:07:36,811 --> 00:07:40,273
And he wants to see
how long it takes us to catch up to him.

141
00:07:43,026 --> 00:07:45,236
Schistocytes suggest TTP.

142
00:07:45,361 --> 00:07:47,238
Good, now what?

143
00:07:47,363 --> 00:07:49,115
Normally we'd try plasmapheresis,

144
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,242
but the patient has
an albumin colloid allergy.

145
00:07:51,367 --> 00:07:52,410
So?

146
00:07:52,535 --> 00:07:54,537
So that means
we have to give him a splenectomy.

147
00:07:54,662 --> 00:07:56,331
Yes, it does.

148
00:08:10,053 --> 00:08:12,263
- Wilson?
- MAN: No.

149
00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:14,557
- Do you know where he is?
- Not in here.

150
00:08:14,682 --> 00:08:16,518
You're sure you want us
to take out his spleen?

151
00:08:16,643 --> 00:08:20,146
Is that what a splenectomy is? I thought
it was an ice cream treat. Yuck.

152
00:08:20,271 --> 00:08:23,191
So you do really think he has TTP.
You're not just testing us.

153
00:08:23,316 --> 00:08:25,735
Yeah. Like I have time for games.

154
00:08:27,403 --> 00:08:29,280
So, why did you really take this case?

155
00:08:29,405 --> 00:08:32,575
Isn't it obvious?
I'm fishing for a dinner invite.

(TOILET FLUSHING)

HOUSE: Missed you
at breakfast this morning.

158
00:08:45,255 --> 00:08:48,299
- And lunch.
- I had a dentist appointment.

159
00:08:48,424 --> 00:08:50,593
You know where Cuddy's sister lives?

160
00:08:50,718 --> 00:08:54,139
You see, this is why
I don't answer your urgent pages,

161
00:08:54,264 --> 00:08:55,974
because they're not urgent pages.

162
00:08:56,099 --> 00:08:58,977
I've decided what I'm gonna do
about Cuddy and Lucas.

163
00:08:59,102 --> 00:09:00,395
I'm going to break them up.

164
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:03,106
- Of course.
- It's given me a purpose in life,

a <i>goal,</i> a <i>raison d'étre.</i>

Albeit a selfish, mean-spirited,
childish raison.

167
00:09:09,445 --> 00:09:11,614
I think of it more as benevolent.

169
00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:16,786
they split
or they stay together forever.

170
00:09:16,911 --> 00:09:19,706
If it's split, then the sooner
it happens, the better for everyone.

171
00:09:19,831 --> 00:09:22,125
If it's stay,
then my meddling won't matter.

172
00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:25,086
- (ELEVATOR DINGS)
- In fact, if they survive it,

173
00:09:25,211 --> 00:09:27,338
it might even make
their bond stronger.

174
00:09:27,463 --> 00:09:29,966
How you manage to
elevate your narcissism

175
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:32,886
to beneficence is masterful.

176
00:09:33,678 --> 00:09:36,806
And I've decided to do it
at Thanksgiving dinner,

177
00:09:36,931 --> 00:09:38,600
just cos I'm sentimental.

178
00:09:38,725 --> 00:09:40,894
Dinner's at Cuddy's sister's,
which brings us back to...

179
00:09:41,019 --> 00:09:42,520
House, don't.

180
00:09:42,645 --> 00:09:45,982
I fished for an invite. Cuddy wasn't
biting, so I'll have to crash.

181
00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:48,985
I have no idea where
(Buddy's sister lives.

182
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:51,362
Ask and thou shalt receive.

183
00:09:51,487 --> 00:09:54,365
You can't honestly think
I would help you with this.

184
00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:56,993
Not help me, help Cuddy, remember?

185
00:09:57,493 --> 00:10:01,122
If you don't get it, I'll be forced
to use more nefarious methods.

186
00:10:01,247 --> 00:10:02,665
Happy holidays.

187
00:10:06,836 --> 00:10:09,380
CHASE: Ah. Looks great.

188
00:10:09,505 --> 00:10:11,382
So, he's all better?

189
00:10:11,507 --> 00:10:13,301
Probably be on
some long-term meds,

190
00:10:13,426 --> 00:10:15,053
and he's about ten ounces lighter,

191
00:10:15,178 --> 00:10:18,181
other than that,
he won't even know it's gone.

192
00:10:19,182 --> 00:10:22,685
Did you hear that, honey?
You're gonna be just fine.

193
00:10:23,353 --> 00:10:24,395
When can I get out of here?

194
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,940
If everything checks out,
less than a week.

195
00:10:27,065 --> 00:10:30,526
Good. Cos those boxes
aren't gonna deliver colors.

196
00:10:31,945 --> 00:10:32,946
Colors?

197
00:10:33,071 --> 00:10:35,531
Green and orange...

198
00:10:36,532 --> 00:10:38,201
...and ceiling.

199
00:10:38,326 --> 00:10:40,411
- Mr. Sidas, do you know where you are?
- Chewing.

200
00:10:40,536 --> 00:10:42,622
- (MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
- Jimmy?

201
00:10:42,747 --> 00:10:43,706
Shirt.

202
00:10:43,831 --> 00:10:46,584
He's stroking. Call the cath lab, now!

203
00:10:46,709 --> 00:10:48,002
Oh, my God.

204
00:10:51,547 --> 00:10:54,467
Blood flow's restored,
appears to be no permanent damage.

205
00:10:54,592 --> 00:10:56,886
Good news is
it turns out to be an exciting,

206
00:10:57,011 --> 00:10:59,013
action-packed thrill ride
of a case after all.

207
00:10:59,138 --> 00:11:02,016
Bad news is we took out
his spleen for nothing.

208
00:11:02,141 --> 00:11:04,435
Thank God he's still got
his appendix and tonsils.

209
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,106
So what looks like TTP, acts like TTP,

210
00:11:08,231 --> 00:11:10,858
tests like TTP, but isn't TTP?

211
00:11:10,984 --> 00:11:14,737
CNS Vasculitis, explains the ataxia
and anemia, maybe the stroke.

212
00:11:14,862 --> 00:11:16,197
CT would have picked up something.

213
00:11:16,322 --> 00:11:19,534
Hi, I'm Greg House.
I'm a friend of your sister, Lisa.

214
00:11:19,659 --> 00:11:21,035
Could be DIC.

215
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,203
Lisa Cuddy.

216
00:11:22,328 --> 00:11:24,080
- HOUSE: Sorry, wrong number.
- You gonna ask?

217
00:11:24,205 --> 00:11:26,165
I'm sure he's got
a perfectly logical explanation.

218
00:11:26,291 --> 00:11:28,334
Can't be DIC, no hemorrhaging.

219
00:11:28,459 --> 00:11:31,963
And I'm calling all 12 Julia Cuddys
within a 100-mile radius.

220
00:11:32,088 --> 00:11:35,508
See? Completely reasonable.
Acquired pancytopenia?

221
00:11:35,633 --> 00:11:36,676
WBC's normal.

222
00:11:36,801 --> 00:11:41,139
Hey, Julia. You're Lisa's sister, right?

223
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,058
Are you sure? You are number 12.

224
00:11:44,183 --> 00:11:46,269
Maybe she got married
and changed her name.

225
00:11:46,394 --> 00:11:49,105
- Otis Campbell.
- Probably kept her first name.

226
00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:50,606
FOREMAN: The mnemonic for toxins.

227
00:11:50,732 --> 00:11:53,318
"O" for organophosphates,
"T" for tricyclics, "I" for insulin...

228
00:11:53,443 --> 00:11:55,862
Or as I remember it, "Moist Place."

229
00:11:55,987 --> 00:11:58,239
That's "Place" spelled with two "L"s
and a silent "B."

230
00:11:58,364 --> 00:11:59,741
Except the tox screen was negative.

231
00:11:59,866 --> 00:12:02,160
Standard tox screen.
Unstandard toxins don't show up on it.

232
00:12:02,285 --> 00:12:05,663
Well, you two do an unstandard
tox screen. You two search his home.

233
00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:08,374
Otis Campbell's gotta
be hiding somewhere.

234
00:12:09,208 --> 00:12:12,503
Smartest guy in the world
and this is the best he can do?

235
00:12:12,628 --> 00:12:14,088
Maybe he's doing what he loves.

236
00:12:14,213 --> 00:12:16,883
Delivering boxes was a childhood dream.

237
00:12:17,216 --> 00:12:20,094
Soda, processed cheese,
marshmallow spread.

238
00:12:20,219 --> 00:12:21,804
Nothing in here is capable of going bad.

239
00:12:21,929 --> 00:12:25,433
Ibuprofen, eye drops, cough syrup.

240
00:12:26,267 --> 00:12:29,520
You want to come over
for Thanksgiving dinner?

241
00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:33,191
You never asked me over before, why
now?

242
00:12:33,316 --> 00:12:37,111
Just never thought of it.
But now that we're both on the team...

243
00:12:37,236 --> 00:12:39,197
And my wife left me?

244
00:12:41,074 --> 00:12:42,617
Is that a bad reason?

245
00:12:42,742 --> 00:12:45,119
No, but I'm OK.

246
00:12:45,870 --> 00:12:48,122
On both the food and friends.

247
00:12:48,247 --> 00:12:49,707
TAUB: Mice.

248
00:12:49,832 --> 00:12:53,127
Leptospirosis could explain
the ataxia and the anemia.

249
00:12:53,252 --> 00:12:55,380
CHASE: But not without a fever.

250
00:12:55,505 --> 00:12:57,715
You have someone to talk to?

251
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,217
- Yeah.
- Who?

252
00:13:01,260 --> 00:13:02,720
What, you want names?

253
00:13:02,845 --> 00:13:05,348
Look, you lost a friend, I get it.

254
00:13:05,473 --> 00:13:06,599
But I'm not Kutner.

255
00:13:06,724 --> 00:13:10,728
Good. Cos Kutner never used
to come over for dinner.

256
00:13:10,853 --> 00:13:13,356
I'm going to pretend there's
something interesting over here,

257
00:13:13,481 --> 00:13:14,857
so you'll shut up.

258
00:13:25,868 --> 00:13:31,165
Actually, there is.
He's got sketches of atomic structure.

259
00:13:31,749 --> 00:13:34,544
This one is full of math proofs.

260
00:13:34,669 --> 00:13:37,338
They're all old. Nothing since '96.

261
00:13:37,463 --> 00:13:41,342
This isn't some homework assignment
his parents forced on him,

262
00:13:41,467 --> 00:13:45,179
this is passion.
Why would he want to stop doing this?

263
00:13:45,304 --> 00:13:47,682
Marriage destroyed his soul?

264
00:14:00,027 --> 00:14:01,195
Ooh.

265
00:14:02,363 --> 00:14:05,366
Or maybe it was just the booze.

266
00:14:09,579 --> 00:14:11,205
Thank you, Doctor.
You've been wonderful.

267
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:13,207
As have you, Diana. Be well.

268
00:14:13,332 --> 00:14:14,625
DIANA: Thank you.

269
00:14:15,334 --> 00:14:17,503
You're helping. Voluntarily.

270
00:14:18,421 --> 00:14:19,881
He's done six already.

271
00:14:20,006 --> 00:14:23,009
I figured you might be getting backed up
with the holiday season and all.

272
00:14:23,134 --> 00:14:26,512
So which one of us slipped through the
wormhole into an alternate dimension?

273
00:14:26,637 --> 00:14:29,599
I have always loved to travel.
And paint.

274
00:14:29,724 --> 00:14:30,766
Lucky number seven.

275
00:14:30,892 --> 00:14:33,227
House, I know you're trying to be nice.

276
00:14:33,352 --> 00:14:36,272
But I also know you're doing it
because you have an agenda.

277
00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:38,733
Wow. Sexy and smart.

278
00:14:38,858 --> 00:14:41,152
(CLICKS TONGUE) Lucas is a lucky guy.

279
00:14:41,277 --> 00:14:45,323
The question is,
is this a bad agenda or a good one?

280
00:14:45,573 --> 00:14:48,242
Either you're trying to screw with me,

281
00:14:48,367 --> 00:14:52,079
or you're trying to show me
that you've really changed.

282
00:14:54,874 --> 00:14:57,543
So which is it? I'm dying to know.

283
00:15:05,134 --> 00:15:07,094
What are you doing
for Thanksgiving dinner?

284
00:15:08,763 --> 00:15:10,473
Peace in our time!

285
00:15:11,766 --> 00:15:14,477
Only cost me 45 minutes of clinic duty.

286
00:15:16,771 --> 00:15:18,439
This is a three-hour drive.

287
00:15:18,564 --> 00:15:21,275
Have you considered the possibility
that this is a fake address?

288
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,487
You think she'd send me to a vacant lot
for Thanksgiving dinner?

289
00:15:24,612 --> 00:15:26,531
- If she's smart.
- She is.

290
00:15:26,656 --> 00:15:29,575
That's why I ran it through
Motor Vehicles. Good as gold.

291
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,286
This cannot end well.

292
00:15:32,411 --> 00:15:36,249
Don't want it to end well.
You should come as my date.

293
00:15:36,374 --> 00:15:38,501
You're not gonna want to miss this.

294
00:15:42,296 --> 00:15:45,383
The unstandard tox screen
was as clean as the standard one.

295
00:15:45,508 --> 00:15:48,469
But we found vodka
stashed away in his place.

296
00:15:49,303 --> 00:15:51,389
What's with the ties?

297
00:15:51,514 --> 00:15:56,394
Makes me look adorably non-threatening.
Party or party-hearty?

298
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:59,021
Liver failure would explain
all the symptoms.

299
00:16:01,065 --> 00:16:02,692
Party.

300
00:16:04,610 --> 00:16:09,407
So, the guy's a brainiac
and his secret drug of choice is booze?

301
00:16:09,532 --> 00:16:11,367
It's kind of pedestrian,
don't you think?

302
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:13,202
Talk to him, he's a pedestrian guy.

303
00:16:13,327 --> 00:16:16,789
With pedestrian alcoholism. Liver biopsy
can wait until after Thanksgiving.

304
00:16:16,914 --> 00:16:18,833
Yes, assuming the biopsy
is going to tell us

305
00:16:18,958 --> 00:16:22,211
exactly what we expect it to tell us,
it can wait till after New Years.

306
00:16:22,336 --> 00:16:26,007
On the other hand, Taub and Thirteen
can do the liver biopsy today.

307
00:16:26,132 --> 00:16:29,343
- Why us?
- Juniority. Welcome back.

308
00:16:30,344 --> 00:16:32,263
What do you want us to do?
Same as me.

309
00:16:32,388 --> 00:16:34,724
Have a happy Thanksgiving.

310
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:38,603
I'm not an alcoholic.

311
00:16:38,728 --> 00:16:41,522
Yes, you just hide vodka
around the house for fun.

312
00:16:41,647 --> 00:16:43,899
I drink, just not a lot.

313
00:16:44,025 --> 00:16:45,860
Since when do you drink at all?

314
00:16:46,944 --> 00:16:49,155
I have one shot when I get home
from work, baby. That's it.

315
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,450
- So why lie to your wife about it?
- SIDAS: Because it's not important.

316
00:16:52,575 --> 00:16:56,037
- What difference does it make?
- That you drink every day, by yourself?

317
00:16:56,162 --> 00:16:59,957
I have one lousy drink, OK?
Have you ever seen me drunk? Ever?

318
00:17:00,082 --> 00:17:02,960
No, but you've obviously been
drinking enough to hurt your liver.

319
00:17:03,085 --> 00:17:05,046
- My liver is fine.
- Hold still.

320
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:10,176
There we go.

321
00:17:10,301 --> 00:17:12,261
This test is a waste of time.

322
00:17:23,356 --> 00:17:25,191
(EXCLAIMING)

323
00:17:25,316 --> 00:17:27,109
- Hey.
- This wine?

324
00:17:36,327 --> 00:17:40,122
Alright. Very good.
There, we got this...

325
00:17:40,706 --> 00:17:41,707
WOMAN: String beans?

326
00:17:50,341 --> 00:17:52,176
(LAUGHING)

327
00:18:03,729 --> 00:18:06,315
- Julia?
- No, I'm the house sitter.

328
00:18:06,816 --> 00:18:09,193
They're in Hawaii for the week.

329
00:18:17,159 --> 00:18:19,787
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Happy Thanksgiving, you guys

330
00:18:19,912 --> 00:18:22,123
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- MAN: Cheers. Cheers.

331
00:18:22,957 --> 00:18:24,250
You must be Dr. House.

332
00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:27,336
I was told I should offer you
a turkey sandwich.

333
00:18:41,851 --> 00:18:44,353
Tuna salad. Closest thing
they had to turkey.

334
00:18:44,478 --> 00:18:46,480
Thanks. But I'm hoping
I can still get out of here

335
00:18:46,605 --> 00:18:48,441
and catch the tail end
of dinner with my wife.

336
00:18:48,566 --> 00:18:49,525
Anything?

337
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,736
No cirrhosis, no scarring,
no infection.

338
00:18:51,861 --> 00:18:54,572
- Blood panel?
- Elevated albumin, 7.2.

339
00:18:55,698 --> 00:18:58,492
- That's it?
- Everything else is fine.

340
00:18:58,617 --> 00:19:00,828
So it was a waste of time.

341
00:19:01,412 --> 00:19:03,998
Unless it's not his liver

342
00:19:04,123 --> 00:19:07,001
that's elevating his albumin,
it's his kidneys.

343
00:19:07,126 --> 00:19:10,296
Renal failure. Explains the anemia.
If he developed hyperkalemia,

344
00:19:10,421 --> 00:19:13,215
that would explain the ataxia,
but the stroke...

345
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:16,385
- lschemic encephalopathy.
- Nice.

346
00:19:17,303 --> 00:19:20,389
Except now we have to stay
and test his kidneys.

347
00:19:27,563 --> 00:19:29,273
(KEYS JINGLING)

348
00:19:33,611 --> 00:19:36,572
- Key under the mat.
- There's no key under the mat.

349
00:19:36,697 --> 00:19:37,948
Oh, right.

350
00:19:38,866 --> 00:19:42,036
You need to replace
one of your kitchen windows.

351
00:19:42,453 --> 00:19:45,164
I helped myself to your wine cellar.

352
00:19:45,289 --> 00:19:47,082
I'll leave a buck on the way out.

353
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:49,335
You're not right for her.

354
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:52,046
- And you are?
- Less wrong.

355
00:19:52,171 --> 00:19:53,172
Ah.

356
00:19:55,090 --> 00:19:57,426
But then I started thinking...

357
00:20:02,473 --> 00:20:03,599
What was I saying?

358
00:20:03,724 --> 00:20:06,185
You were saying it's late and...

359
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:10,064
She invited me.
She didn't know if she should.

360
00:20:10,189 --> 00:20:14,318
She was trying to figure out
if I really have changed or...

361
00:20:15,486 --> 00:20:19,448
...if I'm still the same old SOB
I've always been.

362
00:20:22,618 --> 00:20:25,079
But she always gave me a chance.

363
00:20:27,498 --> 00:20:30,334
Eight hundred and thirty-two chances,

364
00:20:30,459 --> 00:20:32,378
and I used up every one of them.

365
00:20:32,503 --> 00:20:36,048
Eight hundred and thirty-two's
her limit, make a note.

366
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:41,554
How about a cup of coffee?

367
00:20:42,096 --> 00:20:44,598
It's just instant, but...
(BOTTLE CLINKING)

368
00:20:50,938 --> 00:20:52,481
I'm pathetic.

369
00:20:54,316 --> 00:20:56,110
I don't deserve her.

370
00:20:57,444 --> 00:21:00,489
OK. OK. Alright.

371
00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:02,408
Here.

373
00:21:05,578 --> 00:21:08,372
(SIGHS) Maybe you should crash here.

It's a sofa bed.

375
00:21:12,543 --> 00:21:14,169
I love her.

376
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,428
Patient's liver is fine,
it's his kidneys that are shot.

377
00:21:22,553 --> 00:21:23,804
And where the hell is House?

378
00:21:23,929 --> 00:21:26,432
He left a message on the machine.
He's not coming in today.

379
00:21:26,557 --> 00:21:29,101
- CHASE: So what causes kidney failure?
- Rhabdomyolysis.

380
00:21:29,226 --> 00:21:32,438
No edema. I trust you had
a wonderful Thanksgiving.

381
00:21:32,563 --> 00:21:35,608
I don't remember. So I guess I did.

382
00:21:36,525 --> 00:21:38,277
- Multiple myeloma.
- No bone pain.

383
00:21:38,402 --> 00:21:39,612
TAUB: You got drunk alone?

384
00:21:39,737 --> 00:21:43,449
No. That would be a sign
that I need to talk to you about this.

385
00:21:43,574 --> 00:21:46,535
- Polycystic kidney disease.
- THIRTEEN: No UTls or flank pain.

386
00:21:48,495 --> 00:21:51,373
Well, what if his cough
is more than just a cold?

387
00:21:51,498 --> 00:21:53,250
He hasn't been coughing.
It's in his history,

388
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:55,794
and we found a new bottle of cough
syrup in his medicine cabinet.

389
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,089
Cough could mean Goodpasture Syndrome,
affects kidneys and lungs.

390
00:21:59,214 --> 00:22:01,133
Start him on immunosuppressors
and dialysis.

391
00:22:01,258 --> 00:22:02,927
We'll do it right after
we run it by House.

392
00:22:03,052 --> 00:22:05,888
FOREMAN: He's not answering his pager.
Looks like he's leaving it up to us.

393
00:22:06,013 --> 00:22:07,306
Us. Not you.

394

TAUB: And since we don't disagree,

395
00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:11,560
you can save your fight
for another case.

How long do I have
to be hooked up for?

397
00:22:20,611 --> 00:22:23,197
Four to six hours a day
until we see an improvement.

398
00:22:23,322 --> 00:22:24,281
What if you don't?

399
00:22:24,406 --> 00:22:26,241
Then we keep doing it
until he gets a transplant.

400
00:22:26,367 --> 00:22:29,578
You were sure it was his spleen,
and then you were sure it was his liver,

401
00:22:29,703 --> 00:22:32,498
which he told you it wasn't,
and now you're sure it's his kidneys.

402
00:22:32,623 --> 00:22:36,669
It's definitely his kidneys.
We just don't know why it's his kidneys.

403
00:22:40,422 --> 00:22:42,257
Any word from Cameron?

404
00:22:43,550 --> 00:22:44,593
Nope.

405
00:22:45,678 --> 00:22:49,181
I started seeing a counselor
after my diagnosis.

406
00:22:49,306 --> 00:22:50,557
She's really good.

407
00:22:51,558 --> 00:22:55,145
Why does everyone assume that
everyone works in the exact same way?

408
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:56,522
We pretty much do.

409
00:22:56,647 --> 00:22:59,984
Our egos want us to think
we're all snowflakes, no two alike,

410
00:23:00,109 --> 00:23:01,777
but really, we all want
the same things,

411
00:23:01,902 --> 00:23:05,614
love, forgiveness, chocolate.

412
00:23:06,615 --> 00:23:08,784
Well, what I want is for everyone
to leave me alone.

How do I get that?

414
00:23:19,878 --> 00:23:22,631
What did you say to Lucas last night?

415
00:23:24,675 --> 00:23:27,219
I know there were a lot of consonants.

416
00:23:29,346 --> 00:23:31,682
I don't remember how I got here,
never mind what I said.

417
00:23:31,807 --> 00:23:33,017
Well, I just talked to him.

418
00:23:33,142 --> 00:23:36,937
And he said he thought it'd be better
if we stopped seeing each other.

419
00:23:37,104 --> 00:23:41,400
Said he didn't realize how much
there still was between you and me.

420
00:23:41,525 --> 00:23:44,695
And he didn't want to get caught
in the middle of us.

421
00:23:48,699 --> 00:23:50,034
I was drunk.

422
00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:53,120
- Whatever I said, he can't really...
- I've had enough, House.

423
00:23:54,121 --> 00:23:57,249
I actually felt bad
about scamming you...

424
00:23:58,917 --> 00:24:03,589
...but then you lived down
to my expectations, and then some.

425
00:24:07,593 --> 00:24:09,136
There is no us.

426
00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:13,182
There never will be.

They split up this morning.
You're the very first one I've told.

And you think she'll start dating you?
I'm sure she hates you.

00:24:33,744 --> 00:24:37,623
But her eyes say, "How will I ever
pay you for that tennis lesson?"

- (SIGHS) What a shame.
- They'll get over it.

00:24:41,293 --> 00:24:44,630
- I meant for you.
- I'll get over it faster than they do.

Second oldest trick in the book.

438
00:24:54,306 --> 00:24:57,726
You're right.
It's his fault because he's stupid.

439
00:25:02,106 --> 00:25:03,732
He certainly is.

He's not pedestrian, he's stupid.

He's a DXM junkie.

As in cough syrup?

445
00:25:26,797 --> 00:25:28,674
He wasn't taking it for his cough.

446
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:31,677
It's cheap, available
at your corner drugstore,

447
00:25:31,802 --> 00:25:34,763
and taken in high doses,
it's a dumb drug.

448

Dumb drug? He obviously hasn't...

449

He's smart compared to you,
he's a moron compared to what he was.

it also causes brain damage.

If you had a gift,
why would you just throw it away?

I didn't throw it away.
I just turned it down a little.

When my brain was on low, everything
didn't seem so miserable anymore.

You know what the difference
between her IQ and mine is?

In relation, she's closer to a gibbon
than she is to me.

487

Having sex with her
would be an act of bestiality.

I assume you didn't marry her
for her skill in Applied Physics.

That's the problem.

00:28:52,044 --> 00:28:54,546
Every now and then.
Are you this rude to all your patients?

506
00:28:54,671 --> 00:28:56,631
Oh, yes, don't think you're special.

507
00:28:56,757 --> 00:29:00,844
So we got a lot of vague,
unverifiable symptoms,

508
00:29:00,969 --> 00:29:03,722
yet all the physical signs
are perfectly normal.

509
00:29:03,847 --> 00:29:05,557
- What do you think I have?
- I'm not sure,

510
00:29:05,682 --> 00:29:09,061
but I think it's a lame job.

511
00:29:09,186 --> 00:29:10,354
What?

512
00:29:10,687 --> 00:29:12,689
You're a rat.
Insurance company sends you out

513
00:29:12,814 --> 00:29:14,733
to check on the quality
of medical care.

514
00:29:14,858 --> 00:29:16,860
- That's ridiculous.
- Is it really?

515
00:29:16,985 --> 00:29:20,030
Cos you seem a lot more interested
in asking questions than answering them.

516
00:29:20,155 --> 00:29:22,699
Handwriting in your medical records
is obviously not a doctor's,

517
00:29:22,824 --> 00:29:23,867
cos I can almost read it.

518
00:29:23,992 --> 00:29:26,453
And when you went out for
a urine sample, I looked in your purse.

519
00:29:26,578 --> 00:29:28,789
Found the list of questions
you were supposed to memorize

520
00:29:28,914 --> 00:29:32,459
before you came to the clinic.
I was looking for gum.

521
00:29:32,584 --> 00:29:35,045
- You're an ass.
- Put it in your report.

522
00:29:35,170 --> 00:29:36,838
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you 20 bucks

523
00:29:36,963 --> 00:29:39,800
if you'll pretend that I'm not
when we leave this room.

524
00:29:42,719 --> 00:29:45,597
Remember, first ice, then heat.

525
00:29:45,722 --> 00:29:47,682
If you have any problems,
don't hesitate to call me.

526
00:29:47,808 --> 00:29:49,684
Thank you, Dr. House.

527
00:29:52,270 --> 00:29:54,398
Wait a second. Where's Cuddy?

528
00:29:54,523 --> 00:29:56,316
Gone for the day.

529
00:29:57,651 --> 00:29:59,069
Hey! Hey! Hey!

530
00:30:00,779 --> 00:30:04,533
Sorry, can't remember if I've mocked
you yet for being a male nurse.

531
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,618
I think this counts.

532
00:30:07,327 --> 00:30:08,703
Fair enough.

533
00:30:11,915 --> 00:30:14,167
That isn't the man I married.

534
00:30:14,709 --> 00:30:18,880
Yes, he is. He's just smarter.
Give him some time.

535
00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:20,590
- I'm sure...
- He hates me.

536
00:30:20,715 --> 00:30:23,385
His body is going through withdrawal.
He's adjusting.

537
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:26,346
Maybe he never loved me. Not really.

538
00:30:26,471 --> 00:30:29,516
Maybe we never really
had anything at all.

It's late. I'm tired.

I know it's a big pay cut,

545
00:31:00,213 --> 00:31:02,007
but I'll always have the chance
to make money.

546
00:31:02,132 --> 00:31:04,593
I won't always have the chance
to do this job.

547
00:31:04,718 --> 00:31:07,554
That's what you think?
That it's about the money?

548
00:31:08,263 --> 00:31:11,141
So it's that I didn't consult you
before I took the job?

549
00:31:11,266 --> 00:31:13,685
That was offensive,
but it's not about that either.

550
00:31:13,810 --> 00:31:15,395
So then...

551
00:31:18,482 --> 00:31:20,775
Can you give me the first letter?

When we got married,

553
00:31:25,238 --> 00:31:28,116
you were an intern working
30-hour shifts, doing grunt work,

554
00:31:28,241 --> 00:31:29,784
and we both put up with it
because we knew

555
00:31:29,910 --> 00:31:31,453
that it was leading to something better.

556
00:31:31,578 --> 00:31:35,707
In your private practice,
you are the boss. You call the shots.

557
00:31:35,832 --> 00:31:39,544
But now, you're 40 years old,
you're still doing grunt work.

558
00:31:39,961 --> 00:31:42,881
That's what this is about?

- Not quickly.
- I did.

Twelve years ago, I jumped off
the top of my eight-story building

612
00:34:48,775 --> 00:34:51,611
into a dumpster bin
the day before pick-up.

613
00:34:51,736 --> 00:34:56,700
I broke my collar bone,
my leg and three ribs.

00:34:57,492 --> 00:34:59,536
When I was in the hospital,
they put me on narcotics

619
00:35:16,886 --> 00:35:18,471
And I was...

620
00:35:19,889 --> 00:35:23,852
...smart and miserable.

unless he doesn't have one,

00:36:24,579 --> 00:36:27,540
in which case it's absorbed by the liver
and fries that.

he broke three ribs,
damaged his spleen.

642
00:36:51,022 --> 00:36:53,775
Bits of it split off,
circulated through his blood stream

643
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:55,860
until they landed and
attached somewhere else.

644
00:36:55,985 --> 00:36:58,863
So, it is TTP.

645
00:36:58,988 --> 00:37:03,034
I just didn't remove
all of his spleens.

they're not talking to me about it.

and see how it goes.

676
00:39:27,261 --> 00:39:28,888
Home early.

677
00:39:32,350 --> 00:39:34,268
RACHEL: What happened to him?

678
00:39:38,356 --> 00:39:39,774
You beat up House?

679
00:39:39,899 --> 00:39:41,734
Just one right hook.

680
00:39:41,859 --> 00:39:43,945
- Why? What happened?
- You were right.

681
00:39:44,070 --> 00:39:47,156
I told him we need to lay down some
ground rules, it got a little heated.

682
00:39:47,281 --> 00:39:51,244
That's not what I meant. Is he OK?

683
00:39:51,369 --> 00:39:55,123
- Are you going to be fired? Arrested?
- Everything's fine.

684
00:39:57,041 --> 00:39:58,126
Wow.

685
00:40:16,978 --> 00:40:18,146
Dr. Cuddy.

686
00:40:23,818 --> 00:40:25,820
Can we at least be civil?

687
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:28,573
How's your nose?

688
00:40:29,198 --> 00:40:31,034
It's OK.

689
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:33,286
Does your kid like animals?

690
00:40:33,411 --> 00:40:38,166
I got tickets to that holiday carnival.
I hear they have a nice petting zoo.

691
00:40:38,958 --> 00:40:42,628
I think I was pretty clear before.
I don't mean with me.

692
00:40:43,463 --> 00:40:46,340
Here. Take them. Enjoy.

693
00:40:47,383 --> 00:40:48,843
No, thanks.

694
00:40:50,553 --> 00:40:53,431
They're not fake. I didn't steal them.

695
00:40:53,556 --> 00:40:56,517
One of the nurses was selling them
for her kid's scout troop.

696
00:40:56,642 --> 00:40:58,436
I know it doesn't make things
right between us,

697
00:40:58,561 --> 00:41:01,230
but I just wanted to do something nice.

698
00:41:04,233 --> 00:41:06,194
I don't want them.

699
00:41:09,072 --> 00:41:10,198
OK.

700
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,201
I'll see you tomorrow.

701
00:41:23,252 --> 00:41:25,379
They didn't split up.

702
00:41:25,505 --> 00:41:27,799
She wouldn't take the tickets.

703
00:41:28,257 --> 00:41:32,136
Of course. Windtalker code
for "we never split up."

704
00:41:32,261 --> 00:41:35,556
House, she told you multiple times
she wants nothing to do with you.

705
00:41:35,681 --> 00:41:37,892
I wasn't gonna be there.

706
00:41:38,017 --> 00:41:42,355
She just felt guilty that I felt guilty,
so she couldn't take them.

707
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,649
Either that or she didn't
want to appease you.

708
00:41:44,774 --> 00:41:46,692
These weren't reparations,

709
00:41:46,818 --> 00:41:50,947
just a simple gesture of remorse,
and she slapped it down.

710
00:41:51,948 --> 00:41:53,825
They didn't break up.

711
00:41:54,325 --> 00:41:57,245
She just wanted me to think that,
so I'd back off.

712
00:41:59,288 --> 00:42:01,791
Dare I ask what you're gonna do?

713
00:42:04,293 --> 00:42:05,378
Nothing.

714
00:42:06,295 --> 00:42:08,506
I said they'd either break up
or they'd stay together.

715
00:42:08,631 --> 00:42:10,550
They didn't break up.

716
00:42:12,135 --> 00:42:14,220
And you're OK with that?

717
00:42:14,929 --> 00:42:16,514
It is what it is.

718
00:42:19,642 --> 00:42:21,269
Good for you.

(GROANS)

720
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:32,196
House knows I lied.

721
00:42:32,321 --> 00:42:33,531
Why? What did he say?

722
00:42:34,323 --> 00:42:36,200
Nothing. I could just tell.

723
00:42:36,325 --> 00:42:39,203
- You gonna stage another breakup?
- No.

724
00:42:39,328 --> 00:42:40,413
Oh.

725
00:42:41,038 --> 00:42:42,498
Hi.

726
00:42:42,623 --> 00:42:45,543
It seems like he's
going to leave us alone.

727
00:42:45,668 --> 00:42:48,212
Mmm. Why would he do that?

728
00:42:48,337 --> 00:42:49,881
I'm not completely sure.

729
00:42:51,340 --> 00:42:54,886
So, we have his blessing?

730
00:42:56,095 --> 00:42:57,221
I guess so.

731
00:42:57,346 --> 00:42:59,432
I made you some eggplant Parmesan.

733
00:43:03,019 --> 00:43:05,646

735
00:43:08,357 --> 00:43:10,651
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
