00:09:55,491 --> 00:09:56,951
that something else is going on.
178
00:09:57,076 --> 00:10:00,455
I'm just gonna order
a couple of extra tests, OK?
179
00:10:08,171 --> 00:10:09,923
- What's going on?
- It's his foot now.
180
00:10:10,048 --> 00:10:11,090
It's nothing.
181
00:10:11,216 --> 00:10:12,383
It's not nothing.
182
00:10:12,508 --> 00:10:16,179
I just started getting a little
tingling feeling in my foot.
183
00:10:17,013 --> 00:10:17,972
Is that bad?
184
00:10:18,097 --> 00:10:19,182
Ashley, it's gonna be OK.
185
00:10:19,307 --> 00:10:22,227
It might mean his foot fell asleep.
it might mean nothing.
186
00:10:22,352 --> 00:10:23,937
Can you give us a few minutes?
187
00:10:24,062 --> 00:10:25,396
Why can't you tell me?
188
00:10:25,521 --> 00:10:27,023
Because you're making him nervous.
189
00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:29,859
Just give us a few minutes, OK, hon?
190
00:10:32,195 --> 00:10:34,447
Does this mean that it's not
the disease you thought it was?
191
00:10:34,572 --> 00:10:36,491
It means the medicine
I gave you is not working.
192
00:10:36,616 --> 00:10:38,576
I just might have to hit it harder.
193
00:10:38,701 --> 00:10:41,621
I'm going to add ribavirin
to your treatment.
194
00:10:41,746 --> 00:10:43,581
Jim.
195
00:10:43,706 --> 00:10:45,959
Are you sure that
this isn't a recurrence?
196
00:10:46,084 --> 00:10:48,503
So the brave face is just for Ashley.
197
00:10:48,628 --> 00:10:50,463
She's young and she's terrified.
198
00:10:50,588 --> 00:10:53,007
- She's not really equipped.
- Don't worry.
199
00:10:53,716 --> 00:10:58,263
Once you've had cancer, recurrence is
your biggest fear. I get it.
200
00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:00,306
I've looked at this thing
every which way there is.
201
00:11:00,431 --> 00:11:02,267
That's not what's happening here.
202
00:11:02,392 --> 00:11:05,561
Can you call my daughter
and ask her to come down?
203
00:11:05,687 --> 00:11:06,646
You can't do it?
204
00:11:06,771 --> 00:11:11,067
She hasn't exactly been talking to me
since I got together with Ashley.
205
00:11:11,192 --> 00:11:12,360
I'd really like her to be here.
206
00:11:14,862 --> 00:11:16,406
Of course.
207
00:11:18,491 --> 00:11:20,326
Exactly how serious does it have to be
208
00:11:20,451 --> 00:11:23,329
to justify you coming to
see your father?
209
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:26,582
No, I'm sorry.
210
00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:30,420
I'd rather you regretted coming
than regretted not coming.
211
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:33,756
Thanks, Emily.
212
00:11:35,675 --> 00:11:37,051
How's Tucker?
213
00:11:37,176 --> 00:11:38,845
Well, he's made a mess
of his personal life,
214
00:11:38,970 --> 00:11:40,680
but physically,
I think he's going to be fine.
215
00:11:40,805 --> 00:11:42,682
Transverse Myelitis.
216
00:11:42,807 --> 00:11:44,142
What does House think?
217
00:11:44,267 --> 00:11:47,562
(CHUCKLES) What is this?
ls House my overseer now?
218
00:11:47,687 --> 00:11:49,480
No, it's just not always a good idea
219
00:11:49,605 --> 00:11:51,983
for doctors to treat their friends,
that's all.
220
00:11:52,108 --> 00:11:54,152
Well, House has got 100 bucks on cancer.
221
00:11:54,277 --> 00:11:56,279
So unless you want in on the action...
222
00:11:56,404 --> 00:11:59,073
Elm, is Bonnie still a realtor?
223
00:11:59,615 --> 00:12:00,908
As far as I know.
224
00:12:01,034 --> 00:12:05,204
Do you mind if I call her?
I'm looking for a new place.
225
00:12:06,456 --> 00:12:08,416
I'm moving in with Lucas.
226
00:12:09,542 --> 00:12:11,294
It wasn't the tennis.
227
00:12:11,627 --> 00:12:13,629
You're moving in with Lucas?
228
00:12:14,005 --> 00:12:15,131
Yes.
229
00:12:16,424 --> 00:12:18,593
You're Bonnie's friend,
you know how to reach her,
230
00:12:18,718 --> 00:12:22,597
and yet, instead of calling her,
you come and seek my permission.
231
00:12:22,722 --> 00:12:26,059
You want my blessing,
and, implicitly, House's blessing.
232
00:12:26,184 --> 00:12:27,852
I don't need House's blessing.
233
00:12:28,436 --> 00:12:29,604
Good.
234
00:12:36,652 --> 00:12:38,905
Se, when will he be able to
move his arm again?
235
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:40,531
- Should be soon.
- (COUGHS)
236
00:12:40,656 --> 00:12:43,117
- You started smoking again?
- No.
237
00:12:43,659 --> 00:12:46,662
What does that mean?
Is it bad that he's coughing?
238
00:12:46,788 --> 00:12:48,664
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey.
239
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:51,459
Melissa, hey.
I didn't know you were coming.
240
00:12:51,584 --> 00:12:54,128
I was at Mom's house
when Dr. Wilson called.
241
00:12:54,253 --> 00:12:56,422
- I can go if it's gonna be weird.
- (COUGHS)
242
00:12:56,547 --> 00:12:58,633
No, no. Stay, it's fine.
243
00:12:58,758 --> 00:12:59,634
Hi.
244
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:01,344
- How are you?
- Is he OK?
245
00:13:01,469 --> 00:13:05,598
Yeah, he's OK. I'm not a big fan
of this coughing, though.
246
00:13:05,723 --> 00:13:07,517
- You must be Ashley.
- Hi.
247
00:13:07,642 --> 00:13:08,643
(INTENSE COUGHING)
248
00:13:08,768 --> 00:13:11,562
Hey, are you OK?
249
00:13:11,687 --> 00:13:14,690
Do you think this cold sore thing
could've caused this?
250
00:13:14,816 --> 00:13:16,025
- (MONITOR BEEPS RAPIDLY)
- No.
251
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:18,444
Whatever is causing this is
affecting more than his nerves.
252
00:13:18,569 --> 00:13:19,987
I need a crash cart in here!
253
00:13:29,831 --> 00:13:32,458
Don't you guys have a dying
Mexican crooner to attend to?
254
00:13:32,583 --> 00:13:33,876
He isn't dying any more.
255
00:13:34,001 --> 00:13:35,378
Found out he was on a popcorn diet,
256
00:13:35,503 --> 00:13:38,047
eating ten bags of
microwave popcorn a day.
257
00:13:38,172 --> 00:13:40,466
Huffing the fumes scarred his lungs.
258
00:13:40,591 --> 00:13:45,304
Wow. That's very strange.
Where's House?
259
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:49,225
Performing his ritual "hiding from Cuddy
"to avoid getting a new case" dance.
260
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:51,853
It's sort of a jazz-fusion
type of thing.
261
00:13:51,978 --> 00:13:53,604
He's probably eating lunch
in the morgue.
262
00:13:53,729 --> 00:13:55,231
I can page him to your office
if you want.
263
00:13:55,356 --> 00:13:59,068
Actually, maybe it would be better
if I talk to you guys alone.
264
00:13:59,193 --> 00:14:01,446
House and I have a bet
about one of my patients.
265
00:14:01,571 --> 00:14:04,532
You guys mind making him
100 bucks poorer?
266
00:14:06,075 --> 00:14:08,744
43-year-old male
in remission from leukemia,
267
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:11,414
presents with left-arm paralysis
and trouble breathing.
268
00:14:11,539 --> 00:14:13,124
I assume House's money is on cancer.
269
00:14:13,249 --> 00:14:14,542
Thanks, that's very helpful.
270
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:17,253
- Subdural hematoma would explain...
- CT ruled it out.
271
00:14:17,378 --> 00:14:19,464
I thought it was TM,
so I started him on anti-virals.
272
00:14:19,589 --> 00:14:21,507
- But he got worse.
- Bacterial infection?
273
00:14:21,632 --> 00:14:24,093
Bacteria would move much faster
than this, he'd be dead already.
274
00:14:24,218 --> 00:14:25,261
It could be fungal.
275
00:14:25,386 --> 00:14:27,555
A fungal infection
would explain his breathing problem,
276
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,141
but not his
"unable to move his arm" problem.
277
00:14:30,266 --> 00:14:34,979
Actually, if aspergillus fungus balls
took root in his lungs
278
00:14:35,104 --> 00:14:38,649
and spread to his spine,
it would explain both.
279
00:14:39,942 --> 00:14:41,360
Thanks.
280
00:14:44,489 --> 00:14:46,782
The treatment involves
riddling the infected area
281
00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:49,452
with BB-sized pellets
of anti-fungal meds.
282
00:14:49,577 --> 00:14:53,831
I assume you don't just load up the
12-gauge and pepper me with birdshot.
283
00:14:53,956 --> 00:14:56,751
WILSON: No, we have a slightly
more humane delivery system.
284
00:14:56,876 --> 00:15:00,379
But we do have to open you up.
It is surgery.
285
00:15:00,505 --> 00:15:04,008
And like any operation, there are risks.
286
00:15:04,133 --> 00:15:06,219
What do you think, honey?
287
00:15:06,594 --> 00:15:10,306
I don't know. I mean, is surgery
really such a good idea?
288
00:15:10,431 --> 00:15:13,392
He just seems so sick. I just...
289
00:15:13,518 --> 00:15:16,312
You should do whatever
you think is best.
290
00:15:17,146 --> 00:15:19,357
Is this the only way
to go after this thing?
291
00:15:19,482 --> 00:15:20,942
Because of the rapid progression,
292
00:15:21,067 --> 00:15:23,236
I don't think we have time
to test or try IVs.
293
00:15:23,361 --> 00:15:25,154
And he's strong enough to
endure anesthesia?
294
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:26,280
Definitely.
295
00:15:26,405 --> 00:15:28,824
- I want you there during the surgery.
- Of course.
296
00:15:31,285 --> 00:15:32,870
You gotta do it.
297
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:35,998
Good.
298
00:15:36,123 --> 00:15:39,126
Dr. Chase will be in here soon
to get you set up for the OR.
299
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,172
Page Dr. Chase to Tucker's room
for a surgery consult,
300
00:15:43,297 --> 00:15:44,257
and can you get me...
301
00:15:44,382 --> 00:15:46,050
Mr. Koplovitz wants to talk to you.
302
00:15:46,175 --> 00:15:47,218
Is everything all right?
303
00:15:47,343 --> 00:15:50,137
He wanted to talk to his doctor,
not his doctor's assistant.
304
00:15:50,263 --> 00:15:51,847
Oh. And House is looking for you.
305
00:15:51,973 --> 00:15:54,058
- What'd you tell him?
- That you were in the clinic.
306
00:15:54,183 --> 00:15:56,269
I figure that gives you
about ten minutes.
307
00:15:56,394 --> 00:15:58,813
Here, Mr. Koplovitz's chart, go.
308
00:16:02,608 --> 00:16:05,611
Hello, Saul.
I heard you were looking for me.
309
00:16:05,736 --> 00:16:08,990
I'm very tired, but I can't sleep.
310
00:16:09,115 --> 00:16:13,244
Today's your lucky day.
I happen to be a sleep specialist.
311
00:16:13,369 --> 00:16:15,121
Thanks, Doc.

Nice hiding spot.

Actually, it's perfect.

00:16:34,557 --> 00:16:37,393
It allows me to hide from Cuddy
and find you.
318
00:16:37,518 --> 00:16:38,811
What did she want?
319
00:16:38,936 --> 00:16:41,606
She was checking up on Tucker,
thanks to you.
320
00:16:41,731 --> 00:16:43,482
That's it?
321
00:16:43,608 --> 00:16:45,860
Like what? Something about you?
322
00:16:45,985 --> 00:16:48,195
Something you could interpret
as being about you?
323
00:16:48,321 --> 00:16:49,488
An anagram maybe?
324
00:16:49,614 --> 00:16:52,533
It'd be great if you could play hide
and seek somewhere else, my patient's...
325

No problem. Just give me the

in his lungs either.

I suggest you at least leave a tip.

in here. I talked to Bonnie.

- (SOFTLY) Outside.
- It's not a loft, it's just more urban.

Not that I'm urban, but I used to be.

when I went after her.

00:17:43,376 --> 00:17:45,670
Why did you leave Melissa?
346
00:17:45,795 --> 00:17:48,464
We got married young. We...
347
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,387
I'm not sure.
348
00:18:04,939 --> 00:18:06,524
(DOOR OPENS)
349
00:18:08,651 --> 00:18:10,861
There's nothing to talk about.
350
00:18:13,447 --> 00:18:16,909
Why are you doing surgery
when I need you finding me a new case?
351
00:18:17,034 --> 00:18:18,536
(OVER PA) You don't want a new case.
352
00:18:18,661 --> 00:18:21,747
Oh, right. Guess I'm here for Wilson.
353
00:18:23,874 --> 00:18:26,836
Obviously, you didn't tell me
that Cuddy was moving in with Lucas
354
00:18:26,961 --> 00:18:29,255
because you were protecting me,
355
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:33,592
which is odd, since I told you
that I'm fine with their relationship.
356
00:18:33,884 --> 00:18:36,721
So, obviously,
you question one of those assumptions,
357
00:18:36,846 --> 00:18:38,764
or you have an issue with logic.
358
00:18:38,889 --> 00:18:41,058
Yes, you're fine with them dating.
359
00:18:41,183 --> 00:18:45,062
But moving in together is
a whole other level of commitment.
360
00:18:45,646 --> 00:18:48,315
(SCOFFS)
This is the 21st century, Wilson.
361
00:18:48,441 --> 00:18:51,610
I realize that the logical course
in any adult relationship
362
00:18:51,736 --> 00:18:54,488
could one day lead to fornication.
363
00:18:54,613 --> 00:18:58,033
Although, the fact that
she wants to buy a loft...
364
00:18:59,034 --> 00:19:00,911
...could actually mean
that their relationship
365
00:19:01,036 --> 00:19:02,663
is not as serious as I thought.
366
00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:05,166
Oh, for God's sake, House,
don't do this to yourself.
367
00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:09,628
It's a loft, it has no deeper meaning
than open-spaced living arrangement.
368
00:19:09,754 --> 00:19:14,425
You bought into her diatribe about
rediscovering her lost city-girl roots?
369
00:19:14,550 --> 00:19:17,136
And two bedrooms,
it just reeks of commitment issues.
370
00:19:17,261 --> 00:19:19,472
Yeah, or she has a baby.
371
00:19:19,597 --> 00:19:22,641
This is classic mid-life Cuddy crisis.
372
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,602
This is her version of
a two-seat convertible.
373
00:19:24,727 --> 00:19:27,188
Yep, clearly you're fine with it.
374
00:19:27,313 --> 00:19:30,649
Wilson, he's got global lung damage.
Means it's not fungal.
375
00:19:30,775 --> 00:19:32,568
It's PCP pneumonia.
376
00:19:37,406 --> 00:19:38,532
Hmm.
377
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:42,745
Obviously, something is
knocking out his immune system.
378
00:19:43,913 --> 00:19:47,458
Three options: HIV, acquired SCID,
379
00:19:47,583 --> 00:19:50,753
or, my personal favorite, cancer.
380
00:19:52,338 --> 00:19:54,840
I'm sure you'll test for all three.
381
00:19:58,636 --> 00:19:59,970
(DOOR OPENS)
382
00:20:01,806 --> 00:20:05,935
62-year-old African-American man
with lymphoma now in remission.
383
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:09,855
I did a CT and found a small lesion
on the upper lobe of his left lung.
384
00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:12,733
But if he's in remission,
why did you bother scanning him?
385
00:20:12,858 --> 00:20:15,945
During a routine follow-up,
I realized the patient was depressed.
386
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:18,697
Wow. That's quite a call.
387
00:20:19,907 --> 00:20:21,575
Thanks. The treatment indicated...

(DOOR OPENS)
389
00:20:24,078 --> 00:20:25,496
Oh, I'm sorry,
390
00:20:25,621 --> 00:20:27,623
I didn't realize you were
in the middle of something.
391
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:31,252
It's a conference room with glass walls.
392
00:20:31,377 --> 00:20:32,837
You thought I'd be alone?
393
00:20:32,962 --> 00:20:34,797
Your patient has cancer.
394
00:20:35,506 --> 00:20:38,551
Not that guy,
who probably also has cancer.
395
00:20:38,676 --> 00:20:40,177
And who's probably also your buddy.
396
00:20:40,302 --> 00:20:42,513
Thought you'd want to know.
397
00:20:43,639 --> 00:20:45,766
And you owe me 100 bucks.
398
00:20:50,354 --> 00:20:53,983
You have acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
ALL.
399
00:20:56,277 --> 00:20:59,113
So it is a recurrence?
400
00:20:59,238 --> 00:21:01,782
No, it's different.
It's a second leukemia,
401
00:21:01,907 --> 00:21:04,910
probably caused by the chemotherapy
we gave him five years ago.
402
00:21:05,035 --> 00:21:06,745
That's why you didn't see it?
403
00:21:06,871 --> 00:21:08,998
Maybe they can
rename it Ironic leukemia.
404
00:21:09,123 --> 00:21:10,332
This is not the end.
405
00:21:10,457 --> 00:21:12,960
Tests show that the cancer
is limited to your brain.
406
00:21:13,085 --> 00:21:14,128
That's good news.
407
00:21:14,253 --> 00:21:15,963
How can cancer in his head be good news?
408
00:21:16,088 --> 00:21:19,341
The blood-brain barrier
separates the blood in your head
409
00:21:19,466 --> 00:21:21,468
from the blood in your body,
410
00:21:21,594 --> 00:21:25,097
keeps the cancer bottled up.
We can go for a cure.
411
00:21:25,222 --> 00:21:27,057
So give me the numbers.
What are we looking at?
412
00:21:27,182 --> 00:21:29,393
90 per cent chance of cure.
413
00:21:30,144 --> 00:21:32,313
Really?
What if we're in the 10 per cent?
414
00:21:32,438 --> 00:21:35,941
Steady decline,
but six months of a good quality life.
415
00:21:36,066 --> 00:21:38,319
Does he have to go through
another bone marrow transplant?
416
00:21:38,444 --> 00:21:42,072
No. Chemotherapy.
We can go at this with drugs alone.
417
00:21:42,990 --> 00:21:44,158
When do we get started?
418
00:21:44,283 --> 00:21:45,993
We begin by surgically planting a shunt,
419
00:21:46,118 --> 00:21:47,995
so we can get the drugs
directly into your brain.
420
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:49,538
I already booked the OR.
421
00:21:49,663 --> 00:21:51,999
You're the only one who can
make cancer sound like good news.
422
00:21:52,124 --> 00:21:54,168
We get it out of your head
and you walk out of here.
423
00:21:54,293 --> 00:21:56,795
Paralysis gone and cancer free.
424
00:21:59,882 --> 00:22:02,676
We also need you to sign
a healthcare proxy.
425
00:22:02,801 --> 00:22:04,219
If something goes wrong in surgery,
426
00:22:04,345 --> 00:22:06,472
someone needs to be appointed
to make decisions for you.
427
00:22:06,597 --> 00:22:08,098
What are the chances of that happening?
428
00:22:08,223 --> 00:22:09,099
Very remote.
429
00:22:09,224 --> 00:22:11,644
I think maybe Melissa
should be my proxy.
430
00:22:11,769 --> 00:22:13,354
What? No.
431
00:22:13,479 --> 00:22:16,273
- Coming through.
- House got a new case.

Revised OR schedule.
Sorry, Wilson, had to bump you.

It's not like your guy is
bleeding out of his eyes.
434
00:22:22,571 --> 00:22:24,657
House, your guy's not
bleeding out of his eyes, either.
435
00:22:24,782 --> 00:22:26,241
The nurse who books the OR thinks he is.
436
00:22:26,367 --> 00:22:27,785
Your case is no more urgent than mine.
437
00:22:27,910 --> 00:22:30,162
Yeah, but you're way more patient.
438
00:22:31,705 --> 00:22:32,790
It's OK.
439
00:22:32,915 --> 00:22:36,251
You can talk about the paperwork
in the prep area.
440
00:22:39,213 --> 00:22:41,256
You trust her more than me?

00:22:41,382 --> 00:22:43,634
About this, yes. (CLEARS THROAT)

but Melissa's been to hell and back
with me.

00:22:48,138 --> 00:22:51,433
She gives me the best shot
of getting through this.
445
00:22:51,558 --> 00:22:53,143
You still love her.
446
00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:55,980
Don't be silly. I love you.
447
00:22:57,314 --> 00:23:00,192
Please, don't make this into
more than it is.
448
00:23:06,824 --> 00:23:08,659
- OK. Anything?
- No.
449
00:23:10,285 --> 00:23:12,496
- Can you feel this?
- No.
450
00:23:12,705 --> 00:23:15,249
- How about here?
- No.
451
00:23:17,292 --> 00:23:18,460
Where is everybody?
452
00:23:18,585 --> 00:23:21,046
Melissa and Emily went downstairs
to get some breakfast.
453
00:23:21,171 --> 00:23:23,215
- Ashley?
- She had work to do.
454
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:25,342
I thought she was off today.
455
00:23:25,467 --> 00:23:26,969
Well, she didn't really have work to do.
456
00:23:27,094 --> 00:23:29,346
She's just pissed,
so she pretended to have work to do.
457
00:23:29,471 --> 00:23:31,098
I let her pretend.
458
00:23:31,974 --> 00:23:33,183
OK.
459
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,395
Move your fingers.
460
00:23:42,234 --> 00:23:43,235
(SIGHS)
461
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,112
The chemo's not working.
462
00:23:45,237 --> 00:23:47,573
Does that mean it's not cancer?
463
00:23:47,698 --> 00:23:50,200
No. it means the chemo from
your first round of treatment
464
00:23:50,325 --> 00:23:52,578
has made the leukemia resistant.
465
00:23:52,703 --> 00:23:55,330
So I'm in the 10 per cent
that don't get cured.
466
00:23:59,043 --> 00:24:00,252
Maybe not.
467
00:24:01,587 --> 00:24:04,131
We just removed a screw
from a guy's lung,
468
00:24:04,256 --> 00:24:07,217
and the weird thing is,
he didn't get better.
469
00:24:07,342 --> 00:24:08,385
Any idea what that means?
470
00:24:08,510 --> 00:24:10,220
It means you're not listening to me.
471
00:24:10,345 --> 00:24:13,140
No, it means I'm ignoring you
to make a point. There is a difference.
472
00:24:13,265 --> 00:24:14,516
The problem with that technique
473
00:24:14,641 --> 00:24:16,226
is I have no idea
what point you're making.
474
00:24:16,351 --> 00:24:19,354
That your idea is
implicitly not worth responding to.
475
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,649
Doubling your patient's
chemo dose is stupid.
476
00:24:22,775 --> 00:24:24,109
Damn, now it's explicit.
477
00:24:24,234 --> 00:24:26,653
It could swamp out
the resistance of the cancer cells.
478
00:24:26,779 --> 00:24:29,740
The fact that it theoretically should
work doesn't make it any less stupid.
479
00:24:29,865 --> 00:24:32,159
Of course it does.
It's exactly what you would do.
480
00:24:32,284 --> 00:24:34,369
I'm me. You're you.
481
00:24:36,705 --> 00:24:39,249
And a table is a table.
482
00:24:39,374 --> 00:24:43,337
And chemo is poison,
and double chemo is double poison.
483
00:24:43,962 --> 00:24:47,508
And I can handle it
when things go wrong. You can't.
484
00:24:48,342 --> 00:24:50,969
And things could go very, very wrong.
485
00:24:52,971 --> 00:24:54,598
I can handle it.
486
00:25:01,396 --> 00:25:03,607
Sounds pretty dangerous.
487
00:25:03,732 --> 00:25:04,983
It is.
488
00:25:07,402 --> 00:25:09,446
What do you think, Mel?
489
00:25:11,907 --> 00:25:14,451
I think you should call Ashley.

You're my family.

I'm sorry I forgot that.
492
00:25:25,087 --> 00:25:29,800
I think that you should try
whatever could keep you with us longer.
493
00:25:31,593 --> 00:25:32,845
Yeah.
494
00:25:55,951 --> 00:25:57,536
(CHUCKLING)
495
00:26:00,372 --> 00:26:01,331
Look.
496
00:26:01,456 --> 00:26:02,583
I can move them.
497
00:26:02,708 --> 00:26:04,543
- Hey.
- (LAUGHING) Thank you.
498
00:26:07,462 --> 00:26:09,173
What is it, Jim?
499
00:26:10,465 --> 00:26:12,342
I'm gonna need to run some tests.
500
00:26:13,969 --> 00:26:16,805
Intraepidermal superficial bullae.
Could be pemphigus.
501
00:26:16,930 --> 00:26:18,473
Or it could be from the fire.
502
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:22,060
Either way, he's dead.
We can't stop the oozing.
503
00:26:22,477 --> 00:26:23,979
Don't care.
504
00:26:25,814 --> 00:26:28,317
I'm here because it's 1:15
505
00:26:28,442 --> 00:26:31,820
and Wilson started testing at 12:45,
which means...
506
00:26:31,945 --> 00:26:36,533
The cancer is gone,
but over half his hepatocytes are dead.
507
00:26:38,118 --> 00:26:39,703
In only 24 hours?
508
00:26:41,496 --> 00:26:43,624
He needs a new liver.
509
00:26:45,792 --> 00:26:48,253
Look on the bright side.
510
00:26:48,378 --> 00:26:50,881
You can publish the
results of this case study.
511
00:26:51,006 --> 00:26:53,634
No one will ever double the dose again.
512
00:26:58,096 --> 00:27:00,766
The double dose of chemo
got rid of your cancer,
513
00:27:00,891 --> 00:27:04,019
but it also trashed your liver.
514
00:27:04,144 --> 00:27:06,021
If I don't find you a new liver...
515
00:27:07,940 --> 00:27:10,317
...you've only got about 24 hours left.
516

So what do we do now?

Your father's been moved to
the top of the transplant list.
518

But all we really can do is wait.

You and Emily don't match
Tuck's blood type,

00:27:30,504 --> 00:27:32,756
So a live liver donation is out.

just what you've been doing,

that you're gonna die,
528

about to say a lot more relevant.

out there in the hallway, but...
530
00:27:52,859 --> 00:27:56,780
I was just in the ER, testing my patient
for autonomic dysfunction.
531
00:27:56,905 --> 00:27:59,825
It's the only department with a shower
big enough for the whole team,
532
00:27:59,950 --> 00:28:03,662
plus the cardiac monitors, plus me,
plus... Anyway, relevant part.

536
00:28:08,750 --> 00:28:12,087
Bad for the motorcycle, good for
your liver. Blood type's a match.
537
00:28:12,212 --> 00:28:13,213
Why wasn't I paged?
538
00:28:13,338 --> 00:28:14,840
Because there is a problem.

00:28:14,965 --> 00:28:16,591
No organ donor card.
540

Dead guy's sister is next of kin,
she's refusing to allow the donation.

that your brother's dead,
544
00:28:27,686 --> 00:28:29,146
and then run out the door?

I had dry cleaning to pick up."

No, it isn't.

there's nothing I can do and moving on.

Which is, I think,
the definition of adulthood.

Our parents must have blessed it.
568

want him to do good

570

but it was growing.

it will destroy that bond.

doing the right thing.

00:36:56,027 --> 00:36:57,237
Why?
691
00:36:59,155 --> 00:37:02,242
- He's my friend.
- I'm your friend.
692
00:37:03,743 --> 00:37:05,995
All the pain pills I've taken?
693
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,497
What if I need your liver?
694
00:37:07,622 --> 00:37:12,293
Right. How selfish of me not to have
considered your possible future needs.
695
00:37:12,418 --> 00:37:14,838
They're all dying.
They're all your friends.
696
00:37:14,963 --> 00:37:16,798
I'm not here for an argument, House.
697
00:37:16,923 --> 00:37:19,175
No, right, that's room 12A.
698
00:37:20,718 --> 00:37:22,095
So why are you here?
699
00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:25,223
You wanna make sure that
I've called a moving van?
700
00:37:25,348 --> 00:37:26,182
No.
701
00:37:28,142 --> 00:37:32,564
The operation is in two hours,
and I'd like you to be there with me.
702
00:37:38,194 --> 00:37:39,320
No.
703
00:37:40,655 --> 00:37:41,656
(STAMMERS)
704
00:37:42,323 --> 00:37:43,366
Why?
705
00:37:45,034 --> 00:37:47,161
Because if you die, I'm alone.
706
00:38:32,916 --> 00:38:34,250
Thanks, Jim.
707
00:39:37,855 --> 00:39:39,983
(INAUDIBLE)
708
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:54,497
How are you feeling?
709
00:39:54,622 --> 00:39:55,623
Can't complain,
710
00:39:55,748 --> 00:39:59,252
considering if it weren't for you,
I'd be dead. Twice.
711
00:39:59,377 --> 00:40:00,753
You?
712
00:40:00,878 --> 00:40:02,255
I feel good.
713
00:40:02,964 --> 00:40:05,133
Sending out your laundry?
714
00:40:05,967 --> 00:40:08,344
Going to rehab. Someplace up in Katonah.
715
00:40:08,469 --> 00:40:12,557
Up by your new house,
not near your old house.
716
00:40:14,350 --> 00:40:16,019
Easier on Ashley.
717
00:40:17,478 --> 00:40:18,730
I see.
718
00:40:20,565 --> 00:40:23,026
I was thrilled to get
the family back together,
719
00:40:23,151 --> 00:40:25,611
and Melissa's great in a crisis,
720
00:40:26,446 --> 00:40:28,823
but the person you want
when you're dying
721
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:32,660
isn't the same as the person you want
when you're living.
722
00:40:34,954 --> 00:40:36,122
Hi, Jim.
723
00:40:38,666 --> 00:40:40,418
Actually, it's James.
724
00:40:53,514 --> 00:40:54,515
(GROANS)
725
00:41:02,231 --> 00:41:06,319
You ready to admit that
he's a self-important jerk?
726
00:41:06,444 --> 00:41:08,946
I still feel good about what I did.
727
00:41:09,822 --> 00:41:11,741
You don't feel angry?
728
00:41:12,492 --> 00:41:15,703
Oh, I'm a little disappointed.
729
00:41:17,622 --> 00:41:20,041
Disappointment is anger for wimps.
730
00:41:21,125 --> 00:41:24,295
You don't have to be so gentle
about everything.
731
00:41:24,420 --> 00:41:27,048
It's OK to get angry once in a while.
732
00:41:28,925 --> 00:41:31,469
You can't change a table.
733
00:41:31,594 --> 00:41:33,763
Actually, you can.
734
00:41:33,888 --> 00:41:37,141
You just need a coat of paint
and the guts to use it.
735
00:41:40,436 --> 00:41:41,813
(DOOR SLIDES OPEN)
736
00:41:44,565 --> 00:41:46,234
(DOOR SLIDES SHUT)
737
00:41:50,196 --> 00:41:51,364
(DIALING)
738
00:41:56,035 --> 00:41:57,370
Bonnie.
739
00:42:23,146 --> 00:42:25,314
Bonnie told me what Cuddy bid.
740
00:42:25,439 --> 00:42:27,066
You're gonna outbid her?
741
00:42:31,154 --> 00:42:33,406
We do need a bigger refrigerator.
742
00:42:36,868 --> 00:42:39,829
She hurt my friend.
She should be punished.
743
00:42:40,913 --> 00:42:42,748
You got mad.
744
00:42:43,124 --> 00:42:44,876
I'm proud of you.
745
00:42:45,918 --> 00:42:48,379
Cuddy won't share that sentiment.
746
00:42:48,504 --> 00:42:50,423
How are you going to explain it to her?
747
00:42:51,174 --> 00:42:53,426
I'm changing our address to a PO box.
748
00:42:53,551 --> 00:42:55,219
She'll find out eventually.
749
00:42:55,887 --> 00:42:59,682
A problem delayed is a problem denied.
750
00:43:03,102 --> 00:43:06,147
Bonnie? I'll take it.
751
00:43:06,272 --> 00:43:08,024
Baby steps.
