80
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,726
Three years you've been trying to game
out Thirteen. Now you don't care?
81
00:05:29,851 --> 00:05:31,645
Sorry, not caring
about Thirteen is not
82
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:33,563
part of the differential
for heart arrhythmia.
83
00:05:33,688 --> 00:05:35,023
But you do get a home
version of the game.
84
00:05:35,148 --> 00:05:38,234
Patient's brother has severe
congenital muscular dystrophy.
85
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,988
Life expectancy of about 25.
If she's had a latent case of it...
86
00:05:42,113 --> 00:05:44,074
Wouldn't be sudden-onset.
Foreman?
87
00:05:44,658 --> 00:05:46,534
Do you know something
about Thirteen that we don't?
88
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:50,038
She's entitled to her privacy.
Just as I'm entitled to a diagnosis.
89
00:05:50,872 --> 00:05:52,958
And you're glossing over
Thirteen's departure
90
00:05:53,124 --> 00:05:55,543
because you actually respect
somebody's privacy.
91
00:05:55,669 --> 00:05:57,837
I agree. It's weird
of me not to care.
92
00:05:57,963 --> 00:05:59,798
So either I'm a changed
man because of Cuddy,
93
00:05:59,923 --> 00:06:01,049
or I'm pretending
to be a changed man
94
00:06:01,174 --> 00:06:02,467
because I do know
something about Thirteen
95
00:06:02,592 --> 00:06:03,843
and I'm trying to
throw you off the scent,
96
00:06:03,969 --> 00:06:05,929
or I've just gone nutty-bananas
because I lost a patient.
97
00:06:06,137 --> 00:06:09,432
All of which you are free to discuss
after I get a diagnosis.
98
00:06:09,557 --> 00:06:11,017
If it's long QT syndrome,
99
00:06:11,142 --> 00:06:14,020
any startling stimulus in that skate
park could've triggered the arrhythmia.
100
00:06:14,145 --> 00:06:15,689
Loud noise,
flashing lights.
101
00:06:15,814 --> 00:06:18,274
Scare the patient to death
to confirm long QT.
102
00:06:21,528 --> 00:06:24,197
Fine. If you insist, do it in a room
with one of those thingamabobs
103
00:06:24,322 --> 00:06:25,490
that brings
people back to life.
104
00:06:27,409 --> 00:06:28,994
Scare test is insane.
105
00:06:29,119 --> 00:06:31,496
The scare test is legitimate,
simulates real-world conditions.
106
00:06:31,621 --> 00:06:33,581
This fling with
(Buddy's insane.
107
00:06:33,707 --> 00:06:35,375
Flare gun? Scary enough?
108
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,419
How about just telling her
we're planning this stupid test?
109
00:06:38,169 --> 00:06:39,879
And I'm hoping House and Cuddy
are more than just a fling.
110
00:06:40,005 --> 00:06:42,215
It's clearly mellowed him out.
He didn't even care about Thirteen.
111
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:45,135
Right, the guy who ordered us to stop
the patient's heart is mellowed out.
112
00:06:45,301 --> 00:06:47,262
It's gonna be horrible,
because it's doomed.
113
00:06:47,387 --> 00:06:49,597
Which is just gonna make House
50 times more of a crank.
114
00:06:50,223 --> 00:06:51,975
Firecrackers. We can
hide them under
115
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,769
one of those
covered food trays.
116
00:06:59,357 --> 00:07:01,151
Find any itching
powder in your hanky?
117
00:07:01,651 --> 00:07:04,029
Any fake poo in
your desk drawer?
118
00:07:04,154 --> 00:07:05,989
Yes, the lack of
dime-store pranks
119
00:07:06,114 --> 00:07:08,324
is proof that you're
actually dating Cuddy
120
00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:10,243
and not just mocking me
for being worried about you.
121
00:07:11,244 --> 00:07:12,662
What do I have to do
to prove this to you?
122
00:07:12,996 --> 00:07:14,914
Tattoo a cane on
her inner thigh?
123
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,083
Tattoo her inner
thigh on my cane?
124
00:07:18,668 --> 00:07:19,919
You told everybody,
didn't you?
125
00:07:20,045 --> 00:07:21,504
Repeatedly.
126
00:07:21,629 --> 00:07:23,131
This one's not buying it.
Need a little help.
127
00:07:23,256 --> 00:07:24,632
I'm not selling it.
128
00:07:24,799 --> 00:07:28,011
And it's time for our meeting
at Human Resources.
129
00:07:28,136 --> 00:07:31,014
Human Resources. Now why would
I need to go to Human Resources?
130
00:07:31,264 --> 00:07:32,891
House, you've been
to Human Resources
131
00:07:33,016 --> 00:07:34,768
74 times in
the last six weeks.
132
00:07:35,143 --> 00:07:37,604
Never after doing this.
133
00:07:38,813 --> 00:07:39,898
Well, I'm convinced.
134
00:07:40,023 --> 00:07:42,650
Come on, one peck. Just enough
to arouse him a little.
135
00:07:43,026 --> 00:07:44,235
Hey, I'm not even...
136
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,779
I didn't mean you.
137
00:07:46,237 --> 00:07:48,114
If I confirm it,
can we leave?
138
00:07:48,239 --> 00:07:49,074
Yes.
139
00:07:50,408 --> 00:07:51,910
It's true.
140
00:07:56,873 --> 00:07:58,374
I've been more passionate
with my great-aunt.
141
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:00,460
Mabel? Up high.
142
00:08:09,803 --> 00:08:11,179
Are we done here?
143
00:08:19,604 --> 00:08:21,481
She didn't even
ask me to cough.
144
00:08:22,023 --> 00:08:23,983
I think you straightened
out my limp a little.
145
00:08:26,903 --> 00:08:30,240
Now, how would you describe
the exact nature of the relationship?
146
00:08:31,074 --> 00:08:32,575
Have you ever seen
Wild Kingdom?
147
00:08:32,784 --> 00:08:36,079
Those insects that rip their partners'
heads off after copulating.
148
00:08:44,838 --> 00:08:46,297
It's a sexual relationship.
149
00:08:49,008 --> 00:08:51,719
Go slowly now.
He's writing it down.
150
00:08:51,845 --> 00:08:56,099
I believe that I can still supervise
Dr. House effectively,
151
00:08:56,224 --> 00:08:59,018
but we both want
to follow hospital policy to the letter.
152
00:08:59,144 --> 00:09:02,730
Our concern is to make sure
that there's no conflict of interest,
153
00:09:02,856 --> 00:09:05,024
no liability for
the hospital...
154
00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:07,152
You think we're gonna
sue if things go south?
155
00:09:07,277 --> 00:09:08,945
Let me tell you,
she actually does go...
156
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:10,321
House.
157
00:09:11,114 --> 00:09:13,032
Let him talk.
158
00:09:13,158 --> 00:09:15,410
ERNEST: I know that
you're not going to sue,
159
00:09:15,535 --> 00:09:19,873
because you are
both going to sign love contracts,
160
00:09:20,623 --> 00:09:22,667
consensual
relationship agreements.
161
00:09:22,834 --> 00:09:24,669
Well, obviously
outside counsel will have
162
00:09:24,794 --> 00:09:27,130
to review the crotchless
undies clause.
163
00:09:30,341 --> 00:09:33,303
We'll also need to watch for any
favoritism toward Dr. House.
164
00:09:34,304 --> 00:09:36,014
Does that mean
she has to sleep with everyone?
165
00:09:36,139 --> 00:09:39,142
I promise not to give him a raise
or a promotion of any kind.
166
00:09:39,267 --> 00:09:41,895
There's got to be a joke
there about keeping up with inflation.
167
00:09:42,145 --> 00:09:44,898
Or bias against him.
168
00:09:47,442 --> 00:09:49,027
Are there any
supervisory issues
169
00:09:49,152 --> 00:09:50,403
with Dr. House's
current caseload?
170
00:09:50,528 --> 00:09:52,197
Nope. Current case
is solved.
171
00:09:52,322 --> 00:09:54,240
Patient has long QT,
we're gonna scare her
172
00:09:54,365 --> 00:09:56,034
into a cardiac
arrest to confirm.
173
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:57,118
No, we're not.
174
00:09:57,243 --> 00:09:59,162
Okay. No, we're not.
175
00:10:00,371 --> 00:10:01,956
See? Everything
is under control.
176
00:10:03,875 --> 00:10:06,961
I know you're still
planning your ridiculous scare test.
177
00:10:07,086 --> 00:10:08,379
But the patient
is nowhere near
178
00:10:08,504 --> 00:10:10,256
sick enough to
justify the risk.
179
00:10:10,381 --> 00:10:15,220
An angiogram and an EP study are
much safer, and very effective.
180
00:10:15,345 --> 00:10:18,306
Fair point. I'm not
doing the scare test.
181
00:10:21,392 --> 00:10:23,603
I'd invite you to watch me
not doing the test,
182
00:10:23,728 --> 00:10:25,104
but having not done
it many times before,
183
00:10:25,230 --> 00:10:27,357
trust me,
it's pretty not interesting.
184
00:10:35,615 --> 00:10:37,700
- TAUB: House?
- Scare test was not approved.
185
00:10:37,909 --> 00:10:39,619
Do an angio and
an EP study instead.
186
00:10:39,786 --> 00:10:41,621
TAUB: First of all,
that's not as effective as...
187
00:10:45,333 --> 00:10:47,252
How come you're not doing
the more specialized test?
188
00:10:47,377 --> 00:10:49,671
This test is virtually
just as effective.
189
00:10:49,796 --> 00:10:52,173
And Dr. House puts
a premium on patients' safety.
190
00:10:52,298 --> 00:10:54,133
But frequently
changes his mind?
191
00:10:54,425 --> 00:10:56,511
Hugo, give him
a break. I'm fine.
192
00:10:56,636 --> 00:10:58,263
FOREMAN: You should
go to the bathroom before we go.
193
00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:00,056
We've been hydrating
you for quite a while.
194
00:11:00,223 --> 00:11:01,432
I don't have to pee.
195
00:11:01,557 --> 00:11:04,727
Once we start the test, you won't be
able to move for at least an hour.
196
00:11:05,353 --> 00:11:06,854
I really don't
have to pee.
197
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:08,314
How much fluid
have we given her?
198
00:11:10,525 --> 00:11:12,151
2.5 liters.
199
00:11:12,277 --> 00:11:13,528
When's the last time
you went to the bathroom?
200
00:11:13,653 --> 00:11:15,238
Last night, I guess.
201
00:11:15,822 --> 00:11:17,115
CLAIRE: What does that mean?
202
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,992
Your daughter's kidneys
seem to be failing.
203
00:11:26,416 --> 00:11:30,420
So what could cause her heart to stop,
and her urine not to drop?
204
00:11:31,546 --> 00:11:34,549
House, I was expecting
your relationship with Cuddy
205
00:11:34,674 --> 00:11:36,426
to complicate
our work long-term.
206
00:11:36,551 --> 00:11:40,305
I am now concerned
it might be affecting us short-term.
207
00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:41,264
All due respect.
208
00:11:41,472 --> 00:11:42,557
None taken.
209
00:11:43,099 --> 00:11:46,352
I listen to Cuddy all the time.
She's my boss. Also yours, by the way.
210
00:11:46,477 --> 00:11:49,355
You'd listen, then tell her she's being
an idiot, and do whatever you want.
211
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,108
I find I can skip the idiot part
when she's not being an idiot.
212
00:11:52,275 --> 00:11:55,194
And since the scare test would've led
to this same dead end,
213
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,364
she was right to stop it.
Which means your problem's about you.
214
00:11:58,906 --> 00:12:00,325
This should be interesting.
215
00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:02,076
Losers love company.
216
00:12:02,201 --> 00:12:06,372
And if even a misanthrope like me
has a chance at happiness,
217
00:12:06,497 --> 00:12:08,166
it's gonna be pretty
lonely on that landfill
218
00:12:08,291 --> 00:12:10,418
of loser-dam you
call a marriage.
219
00:12:11,044 --> 00:12:12,795
Heart, kidneys, go.
220
00:12:13,296 --> 00:12:16,716
Could be Fabry disease.
Lipid deposition in her tissues.
221
00:12:16,841 --> 00:12:17,884
Dad's history was clean.
222
00:12:18,009 --> 00:12:21,262
What about protein deposits? They
wouldn't show in her parents' history.
223
00:12:21,471 --> 00:12:24,724
Amyloidosis.
Explains both the symptoms.
224
00:12:24,849 --> 00:12:26,267
Marrow transplant to treat.
225
00:12:26,392 --> 00:12:27,935
Her brother's a match.
226
00:12:28,061 --> 00:12:29,645
Confirm and do.
227
00:12:32,523 --> 00:12:36,235
I've been experiencing
fatigue and weakness.
228
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,574
Wouldn't have anything to do with
the fact that you're 102 years old?
229
00:12:41,699 --> 00:12:43,618
Usually he's
strong as an ox.
230
00:12:43,743 --> 00:12:44,952
102-year-old ox.
231
00:12:45,078 --> 00:12:48,206
He has tingling in
his feet and his legs.
232
00:12:48,331 --> 00:12:50,291
I want a full
battery of tests.
233
00:12:50,416 --> 00:12:51,417
Carbon dating?
234
00:12:51,542 --> 00:12:53,836
I'll pay cash if
it's not covered.
235
00:12:53,961 --> 00:12:55,338
It's nice of you to
float your friend...
236
00:12:55,463 --> 00:13:00,301
He's not my friend, he's my father.
He's 22 years older than me.
237
00:13:00,843 --> 00:13:03,679
Well, if that's true,
he's definitely had his jowls done.
238
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:06,015
Statistically,
if he didn't have these symptoms,
239
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,975
he'd be like most
people of his age,
240
00:13:08,101 --> 00:13:09,852
dead for the past
several decades.
241
00:13:09,977 --> 00:13:11,354
Do the tests, I'm sick.
242
00:13:11,479 --> 00:13:13,481
You have a bad case
of natural causes.
243
00:13:13,648 --> 00:13:15,483
Do the damn tests.
244
00:13:18,486 --> 00:13:21,864
If the vial fills with sand,
we take that as a bad sign.
245
00:13:23,366 --> 00:13:25,326
Hugo should be here.
Why'd you ask him to leave?
246
00:13:25,451 --> 00:13:27,370
We wanted to be able
to discuss this openly.
247
00:13:27,495 --> 00:13:29,205
But it obviously affects him.
248
00:13:29,330 --> 00:13:30,331
Honey, let the doctor finish.
249
00:13:30,456 --> 00:13:31,541
TAUB: It's a standard
procedure.
250
00:13:31,666 --> 00:13:34,377
We use general anesthesia,
harvest a very small amount of his...
251
00:13:34,502 --> 00:13:36,754
No. I'm not taking
my brother's marrow.
252
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:37,964
Del, it's...
253
00:13:38,214 --> 00:13:39,966
These harvests are harmless.
254
00:13:40,091 --> 00:13:42,260
With the meds we give,
there's almost no pain,
255
00:13:42,385 --> 00:13:44,595
almost no risk of infection...
Almost?
256
00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:48,433
His life's hard
enough as it is.
257
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,103
TAUB: Small problem
with the treatment.
258
00:13:52,228 --> 00:13:55,440
Patient won't take marrow
from steel wheels?
259
00:13:55,690 --> 00:13:58,234
We're finding another match.
And how do you know?
260
00:13:58,359 --> 00:14:01,487
What other problem could there be
with a problem-free procedure?
261
00:14:01,696 --> 00:14:05,533
Boys' sports, science club.
She's living his life, not hers.
262
00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:07,910
Makes sense
she's being a self-denying moron.
263
00:14:08,035 --> 00:14:11,414
She loves her brother, she's thinking
selflessly. How is that at all...
264
00:14:11,539 --> 00:14:15,001
Moronic? Hmm. If I could only think
of a harm-free medical treatment
265
00:14:15,126 --> 00:14:16,127
she'd turned down lately.
266
00:14:16,252 --> 00:14:17,587
You're right.
If everyone were more selfish,
267
00:14:17,712 --> 00:14:19,255
the world would
be a better place.
268
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:22,717
See? I can skip the idiot part
when you're not being an idiot.
269
00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:29,056
Yeah, I had that same facial expression
for the first 48 hours.
270
00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:32,518
Had another one, too,
but only for 15 seconds at a time.
271
00:14:32,643 --> 00:14:36,397
I'm happy for you.
You're happy for you. This is huge.
272
00:14:36,606 --> 00:14:38,024
So who's gonna
supervise you?
273
00:14:38,149 --> 00:14:39,567
Cuddy.
274
00:14:40,193 --> 00:14:42,445
I guess maybe
that can work.
275
00:14:42,570 --> 00:14:44,739
Maybe? Nothing's changed.
276
00:14:45,239 --> 00:14:48,242
You showed up for
clinic hours, voluntarily.
277
00:14:48,367 --> 00:14:50,036
Fine, a little bit
has changed.
278
00:14:50,161 --> 00:14:52,997
House, everything's changed.
You're sleeping together.
279
00:14:53,122 --> 00:14:55,082
You want something
from her besides
280
00:14:55,208 --> 00:14:57,502
sign-off on scaring
your patient to death.
281
00:14:57,627 --> 00:14:58,669
You talked to Taub.
282
00:14:59,212 --> 00:15:01,130
He's worried about you.
He's a jerk.
283
00:15:01,339 --> 00:15:02,423
I'm worried, too.
284
00:15:02,548 --> 00:15:03,591
Do I need to say it?
285
00:15:03,758 --> 00:15:05,426
I want this to work.
286
00:15:05,676 --> 00:15:07,470
I'm not doing
anything differently.
287
00:15:07,637 --> 00:15:09,722
She changed my mind
about one diagnostic test.
288
00:15:09,847 --> 00:15:11,641
And she was right.
289
00:15:12,141 --> 00:15:15,645
Even though it's
your emotional default, stop worrying.
290
00:15:16,771 --> 00:15:18,648
I can handle it.
291
00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:22,193
I hear you're
a pretty fierce skateboarder.
292
00:15:22,652 --> 00:15:23,861
I do okay.
293
00:15:24,695 --> 00:15:27,406
All your activities,
don't they seem
294
00:15:27,532 --> 00:15:30,201
like things
a 16-year-old boy would do?
295
00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:35,081
Some people might think
you're trying to live his life for him.
296
00:15:35,581 --> 00:15:36,666
I am.
297
00:15:36,874 --> 00:15:38,125
Sort of.
298
00:15:38,251 --> 00:15:41,254
I got into skateboarding
when some of Hugo's classmates did,
299
00:15:41,379 --> 00:15:44,048
and he realized
he could never do it.
300
00:15:44,423 --> 00:15:48,469
It's the same with a lot of things.
We live through it together.
301
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,599
And you're not worried you're being
selfless to the point of self-denial?
302
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:57,728
You've never been
inspired by someone?
303
00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:01,399
Why don't you
take your pills.
304
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:03,985
(COUGHING)
305
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,320
Need some help in here.
306
00:16:07,405 --> 00:16:09,490
Hemothorax, we need
to brunch her now.
307
00:16:09,699 --> 00:16:12,076
Clear an OR.
She's drowning in her own blood.
308
00:16:12,201 --> 00:16:13,411
TAUB: It's not amyloidosis.
309
00:16:21,002 --> 00:16:23,921
She's bleeding to death,
out of her lung.
310
00:16:24,589 --> 00:16:26,799
I want to fill
a quarter of it with foam.
311
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,176
That'd stop the
bleeding, all right.
312
00:16:30,011 --> 00:16:32,179
Thought it made more sense
than diet and exercise.
313
00:16:32,305 --> 00:16:35,266
And if she doesn't have enough lung
function left, you'll have killed her.
314
00:16:35,391 --> 00:16:38,060
The only alternative is
slowly suturing the lung,
315
00:16:38,185 --> 00:16:39,854
hoping the bleeding
stops in time
316
00:16:39,979 --> 00:16:41,397
and she doesn't
die on her own.
317
00:16:41,772 --> 00:16:43,774
But we would walk
away with clean hands.
318
00:16:43,941 --> 00:16:46,068
Except for all the blood.
319
00:16:48,946 --> 00:16:52,992
You're right. Faster and riskier
is better. Foam the lung.
320
00:17:00,082 --> 00:17:02,001
You got a green light?
321
00:17:06,088 --> 00:17:08,424
No. Suture the lung.
322
00:17:10,051 --> 00:17:12,094
Scalpel, rib spreader.
323
00:17:16,265 --> 00:17:18,017
I can't handle it.
324
00:17:21,479 --> 00:17:22,980
What happened?
325
00:17:23,105 --> 00:17:25,149
She said yes, I heard no.
326
00:17:26,442 --> 00:17:27,902
But I didn't
actually hear no.
327
00:17:28,027 --> 00:17:30,946
I just was sure
that's what she meant.
328
00:17:31,072 --> 00:17:34,158
The way she tilted her head
and half-arched her eyebrow.
329
00:17:35,993 --> 00:17:37,370
But what do I even
care what she meant?
330
00:17:37,495 --> 00:17:40,206
She said yes,
that's all that matters.
331
00:17:41,999 --> 00:17:43,626
I'm screwing this up.
332
00:17:44,085 --> 00:17:46,379
It's not
completely bad, House.
333
00:17:46,504 --> 00:17:49,173
You care enough to pull your punches.
That's not a bad thing.
334
00:17:49,298 --> 00:17:50,925
But you and Cuddy
have got to figure out
335
00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:52,885
a way of
avoiding this problem.
336
00:17:53,219 --> 00:17:55,096
Set some ground rules.
337
00:17:56,806 --> 00:18:00,309
Yeah. I have to
avoid this problem.
338
00:18:02,061 --> 00:18:03,729
If I can restrict
our interactions
339
00:18:03,854 --> 00:18:06,524
to places where
neither of us are wearing pants.
340
00:18:06,649 --> 00:18:10,111
Yeah. That's not avoiding the problem,
that's avoiding the issue.
341
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:14,323
Since avoidance is
my plan for dealing with the issue,
342
00:18:14,448 --> 00:18:17,118
technically,
that's not avoiding it.
343
00:18:17,493 --> 00:18:19,328
Thanks.
No problem.
344
00:18:23,833 --> 00:18:25,543
The stitching worked.
This time.
345
00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:27,920
No guarantee bowing
to Cuddy'll work next time.
346
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:33,050
Heart arrhythmia, kidney failure,
and now a bleeding lung...
347
00:18:33,259 --> 00:18:34,969
I don't want to criticize
your girlfriend, but...
348
00:18:35,094 --> 00:18:37,972
Hey, you've been on me for years
to respect someone's opinion.
349
00:18:38,097 --> 00:18:40,558
Just because I had to go outside
this group to find one I respect...
350
00:18:40,683 --> 00:18:43,519
Multi-system involvement
centered in the lung. Sarcoidosis.
351
00:18:43,644 --> 00:18:45,104
Doesn't explain
the hemothorax.
352
00:18:45,229 --> 00:18:46,939
TB can infect
all three organs.
353
00:18:47,064 --> 00:18:49,066
Skin test was negative.
What about Goodpasture's?
354
00:18:49,358 --> 00:18:50,693
Affects the lungs, kidneys.
355
00:18:52,445 --> 00:18:56,031
And autoimmune explains
the out-of-the-blue arrhythmia.
356
00:18:56,157 --> 00:18:57,116
Good pastu re's it is.
357
00:18:57,241 --> 00:18:59,994
Immunosuppressants
and plasmapheresis to treat,
358
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,288
kidney biopsy to confirm.
359
00:19:11,130 --> 00:19:12,757
Dr. House!
360
00:19:13,466 --> 00:19:14,717
Don't tell me.
361
00:19:14,842 --> 00:19:17,511
Your father's hairline is receding
and he needs more tests.
362
00:19:17,887 --> 00:19:21,098
He's 102, his next test
is an autopsy.
363
00:19:21,515 --> 00:19:25,936
Look, I love the old man, but I've got
to get him out of the damn house.
364
00:19:26,061 --> 00:19:28,022
He can't do
anything without me.
365
00:19:28,147 --> 00:19:31,650
He needs to be in
a care facility.
366
00:19:31,776 --> 00:19:33,360
So tell him.
He's a big boy now.
367
00:19:33,486 --> 00:19:34,612
I can't.
368
00:19:34,737 --> 00:19:39,366
I'm his whole life.
But if it comes from a doctor...
369
00:19:45,873 --> 00:19:46,957
That's very generous.
370
00:19:47,124 --> 00:19:48,375
When you were 30.
371
00:19:51,670 --> 00:19:53,881
Pretend to run the tests.
372
00:19:54,173 --> 00:19:58,886
And then tell him
he can't live with me anymore.
373
00:20:09,271 --> 00:20:12,107
CUDDY: I didn't run into
you all afternoon.
374
00:20:12,316 --> 00:20:13,609
I missed you.
375
00:20:13,734 --> 00:20:15,027
Busy day-
376
00:20:17,321 --> 00:20:20,115
Maybe we should plan
on lunch tomorrow.
377
00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:25,371
Problem is, at lunch
you tend to wear tops.
378
00:20:28,499 --> 00:20:30,334
This is much better.
379
00:20:35,297 --> 00:20:37,216
(PHONE RINGING)
380
00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:46,100
Cuddy and I are naked.
So I'm having trouble focusing.
381
00:20:46,225 --> 00:20:47,434
Use small words.
382
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,727
Kidney biopsy was clean,
383
00:20:48,853 --> 00:20:50,855
so we re-checked a piece
of her lung from the OR.
384
00:20:51,397 --> 00:20:54,733
You lost me.
Sorry, who is this calling again?
385
00:20:54,859 --> 00:20:55,901
CHASE: It's not Goodpasture's.
386
00:20:56,026 --> 00:20:58,028
There's intimal thickening
of the blood vessels.
387
00:20:58,153 --> 00:21:00,865
FOREMAN: And lymphocytic infiltrate.
We tested for LAM, it's positive.
388
00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:03,242
Plus her lung's fried.
She needs a donor lung to live.
389
00:21:03,367 --> 00:21:05,369
Which is the only
treatment for LAM anyway.
390
00:21:05,536 --> 00:21:06,996
Taub's gone to
the transplant committee.
391
00:21:07,121 --> 00:21:08,330
They may have
found a donor lung.
392
00:21:08,998 --> 00:21:11,584
So this call is
purely expositional?
393
00:21:15,546 --> 00:21:18,757
We should really get dressed.
I told the nanny I'd be home by 9:00.
394
00:21:19,216 --> 00:21:23,262
And I slipped the nanny 40 bucks,
told her to stay till 10:00.
395
00:21:24,096 --> 00:21:25,055
Really?
396
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:26,265
Really.
397
00:21:40,321 --> 00:21:41,655
Good news.
398
00:21:47,536 --> 00:21:49,288
FOREMAN:
Surgery was uneventful.
399
00:21:49,455 --> 00:21:52,625
But the donor lung started failing
about an hour into recovery.
400
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:54,752
We know we're right about LAM,
tests confirmed it.
401
00:21:54,877 --> 00:21:56,503
Well, that leaves
us with two options.
402
00:21:56,670 --> 00:21:58,213
Her body is
rejecting the new lung,
403
00:21:58,339 --> 00:21:59,798
or we should've
rejected the new lung
404
00:21:59,924 --> 00:22:01,175
because it's infected.
405
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:02,509
Let's biopsy,
see which one it is.
406
00:22:02,635 --> 00:22:04,762
No guarantee we'd
hit the affected spot.
407
00:22:04,887 --> 00:22:07,556
If we give steroids for rejection,
it'd make an infection worse.
408
00:22:07,681 --> 00:22:10,059
If we give antibiotics for infection,
it'd make rejection worse.
409
00:22:10,809 --> 00:22:11,977
Which worse is worse?
410
00:22:12,144 --> 00:22:14,647
If we treat her for infection and we're
wrong, she'll be dead within hours.
411
00:22:14,772 --> 00:22:16,523
And if we treat for
rejection and we're wrong?
412
00:22:16,649 --> 00:22:18,484
She'll probably
hang on a day or two.
413
00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:21,695
You're assuming her rejection's
hyperacute. Odds are it isn't.
414
00:22:22,613 --> 00:22:24,490
Got to head off
the worst worse first.
415
00:22:25,866 --> 00:22:27,534
I studied under Dr. Seuss.
416
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:30,746
Start with IV methylprednisolone
for hyperacute rejection.
417
00:22:30,871 --> 00:22:33,999
If that fails, we'll switch her
to broad-spectrum antibiotics,
418
00:22:34,124 --> 00:22:36,543
and hope we're
not too late.
419
00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:41,590
Cat got your legs?
420
00:22:41,757 --> 00:22:45,803
We just decided to give meds that could
kill the patient, based on a guess.
421
00:22:45,928 --> 00:22:47,638
You need
approval from Cuddy.
422
00:22:47,763 --> 00:22:48,973
And she'll want to
take the safer course.
423
00:22:49,098 --> 00:22:51,308
And you're gonna fold
like an origami crane.
424
00:22:51,433 --> 00:22:55,020
So I'll just wait here
until we get our actual orders.
425
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:57,564
Fine. You do it.
426
00:22:58,649 --> 00:23:02,444
Tell her she's being an idiot
for always choosing the safer course.
427
00:23:02,569 --> 00:23:05,656
She's sitting on her ample,
if well-formed, bureaucratic ass
428
00:23:05,781 --> 00:23:07,074
while our patient's dying.
429
00:23:07,199 --> 00:23:08,909
We'll see who folds
like an origami shrimp.
430
00:23:09,034 --> 00:23:11,787
You want me to
get Cuddy's approval?
431
00:23:11,912 --> 00:23:13,330
I've gotta be
somewhere important.
432
00:23:13,455 --> 00:23:14,707
Sitting at your desk?
433
00:23:14,832 --> 00:23:16,875
I'm running late.
434
00:23:33,892 --> 00:23:35,394
Forget the tests.
435
00:23:35,936 --> 00:23:38,522
I think junior might have a few words
to say about that.
436
00:23:38,647 --> 00:23:41,025
I love him but
he can't let go.
437
00:23:43,193 --> 00:23:44,778
40 bucks says he can.
438
00:23:44,903 --> 00:23:49,658
I can't do anything without him
helping me like I'm senile.
439
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:52,619
If I go back there,
I'm gonna rip his throat out.
440
00:23:52,786 --> 00:23:54,747
You sure you won't warm up
to him over time?
441
00:24:00,794 --> 00:24:01,754
Skip the blood work.
442
00:24:01,879 --> 00:24:06,633
Tell my son it's grim news,
I need to be in a nursing home.
443
00:24:07,718 --> 00:24:09,303
A private room.
444
00:24:10,179 --> 00:24:11,472
Make it a suite.
445
00:24:12,014 --> 00:24:13,307
It'll be our little secret.
446
00:24:14,975 --> 00:24:19,063
I sit around on
my "bureaucratic ass"?
447
00:24:19,188 --> 00:24:20,564
I was relaying your words.
448
00:24:20,689 --> 00:24:23,859
I said "well-formed".
I said "well-formed"!
449
00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:26,737
What were you...
I needed to be aggressive.
450
00:24:26,862 --> 00:24:28,072
You're an idiot.
451
00:24:28,238 --> 00:24:29,490
She was siding
with Foreman's analysis.
452
00:24:29,865 --> 00:24:32,701
The odds are
against it being hyperacute rejection...
453
00:24:32,826 --> 00:24:34,036
Stop.
454
00:24:35,329 --> 00:24:38,749
I agree with you.
That was our analysis from the start.
455
00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:43,087
If you've got a problem
with a team decision, you come to me.
456
00:24:43,337 --> 00:24:45,464
I'm sorry.
I'll deal with him later.
457
00:24:47,216 --> 00:24:49,093
I said "well-formed".
458
00:24:56,058 --> 00:25:00,104
People who have not seen Cuddy naked
should not throw stones.
459
00:25:00,979 --> 00:25:02,856
She does have great cans.
460
00:25:05,317 --> 00:25:06,902
Cuddy has House on
such a short leash,
461
00:25:07,027 --> 00:25:08,737
she might as well
start giving him chew-toys.
462
00:25:08,862 --> 00:25:11,698
Let's give the antibiotics
at least another hour.
463
00:25:11,824 --> 00:25:14,785
Amazing. And House hasn't given
you one ounce of grief
464
00:25:14,910 --> 00:25:17,037
for your complete
lack of interest in his love life.
465
00:25:17,162 --> 00:25:19,748
Did it ever occur
to you that House is just happy,
466
00:25:19,873 --> 00:25:22,376
and could give a crap about other
people's lives because of it?
467
00:25:22,501 --> 00:25:25,420
Well, that's ironic
and depressing.
468
00:25:25,546 --> 00:25:27,714
And by that logic,
the reason you don't
469
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,800
give a crap is
because you're happy.
470
00:25:29,925 --> 00:25:33,762
Which means you've got someone new
giving you chew-toys.
471
00:25:34,012 --> 00:25:35,472
You're one-fourth right.
472
00:25:35,597 --> 00:25:37,850
Wait. Are you saying...
473
00:25:37,975 --> 00:25:39,143
(BEEPERS BEEPING)
474
00:25:39,309 --> 00:25:40,853
You're dating four women?
475
00:25:47,109 --> 00:25:49,611
BP's dropping.
Means the antibiotics aren't working.
476
00:25:49,778 --> 00:25:50,904
Put her in Trendelenburg.
477
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,364
Can we save the lung?
478
00:25:52,531 --> 00:25:53,907
Believe it or not,
we've got a better chance now.
479
00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:56,410
This means it's rejection,
not infection.
480
00:25:56,577 --> 00:25:58,829
We'll start her on
IV methylprednisolone right away.
481
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:09,840
Wow. You hate salad.
She's really got you tied up in knots.
482
00:26:09,965 --> 00:26:13,010
I caved. Through
an intermediary.
483
00:26:13,343 --> 00:26:14,970
I need a plan C.
484
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:19,725
What you need is a plan
that you actually develop with Cuddy.
485
00:26:22,978 --> 00:26:25,397
Antibiotics didn't work.
And then steroids didn't work.
486
00:26:25,564 --> 00:26:27,983
Her new lung's ruined
and it's not rejection or infection.
487
00:26:28,192 --> 00:26:29,776
The only two
options were wrong.
488
00:26:29,902 --> 00:26:31,028
Unless it's not LAM.
489
00:26:31,195 --> 00:26:32,779
It is LAM,
the test was positive.
490
00:26:33,947 --> 00:26:35,240
Then the test
had to be wrong.
491
00:26:36,909 --> 00:26:38,660
Deep fryer's working again.
492
00:26:39,786 --> 00:26:41,413
Still working on that?
493
00:26:41,538 --> 00:26:44,333
That was here
when I sat down. I need to think.
494
00:27:13,904 --> 00:27:17,407
I want to make sure you're trying
everything to save my sister.
495
00:27:17,866 --> 00:27:21,411
Everything.
That must be it.
496
00:27:21,954 --> 00:27:24,206
See, I thought you guys
checked the box marked,
497
00:27:24,331 --> 00:27:25,832
"Try every other thing."
498
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:28,335
I'm the one that's
supposed to die first.
499
00:27:28,460 --> 00:27:30,420
I'm the damaged one,
not her.
500
00:27:30,671 --> 00:27:32,047
She never even gets a cold.
501
00:27:32,214 --> 00:27:34,424
Damage has a way
of spreading to everyone around you.
502
00:27:34,675 --> 00:27:36,718
For example, your
obvious emotional damage
503
00:27:36,843 --> 00:27:38,929
is now making me
have a philosophical conversation,
504
00:27:39,054 --> 00:27:40,472
instead of dealing
with your sister.
505
00:27:41,014 --> 00:27:43,267
See how that
might be damaging?
506
00:27:52,192 --> 00:27:53,026
Never?
507
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:56,905
HOUSE: When's the last time
you had a cold?
508
00:27:57,447 --> 00:28:00,033
Any minor aches,
swelling, anything?
509
00:28:02,202 --> 00:28:04,871
It's been years.
She never gets colds.
510
00:28:04,997 --> 00:28:07,457
I didn't ask
when's the last time she mentioned it,
511
00:28:07,582 --> 00:28:10,544
I asked when she had one,
even a tiny one.
512
00:28:10,669 --> 00:28:15,048
It's nothing.
Sometimes my ears ache a little.
513
00:28:16,258 --> 00:28:18,260
So now tell me
the rest of the nothing.
514
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,933
My chest, soreness,
some congestion...
515
00:28:25,058 --> 00:28:26,685
You never said
anything about that.
516
00:28:27,227 --> 00:28:30,981
I barely noticed it until that
skateboarding tournament in Denver.
517
00:28:31,106 --> 00:28:32,149
How long ago?
518
00:28:33,108 --> 00:28:34,443
A Year?
519
00:28:35,193 --> 00:28:38,947
Cold's nothing. When I think of what
Hugo goes through every day...
520
00:28:39,072 --> 00:28:43,160
Yeah, we get it. Your brother,
the saint, his sister, the martyr.
521
00:28:47,622 --> 00:28:49,708
Thank God
you followed me.
522
00:28:49,833 --> 00:28:51,543
Now you can go
back to the transplant committee
523
00:28:51,668 --> 00:28:53,128
while I get confirmation.
524
00:28:53,253 --> 00:28:54,087
Confirmation of what?
525
00:28:54,212 --> 00:28:56,548
What causes low-level
cold symptoms for a year,
526
00:28:56,673 --> 00:28:59,009
can ruin two lungs,
is immune to drug therapies
527
00:28:59,134 --> 00:29:01,636
and gets worse in cities
nicknamed Mile-High?
528
00:29:01,762 --> 00:29:03,013
A clotting disorder?
529
00:29:03,138 --> 00:29:04,973
She has a nasty case
of sickle cell trait.
530
00:29:05,098 --> 00:29:06,850
Her heart arrhythmia
wasn't sudden at all.
531
00:29:06,975 --> 00:29:09,102
The screwed up blood cells screwed up
the blood vessels,
532
00:29:09,227 --> 00:29:11,980
which gave us
the screwed up positive for LAM.
533
00:29:12,105 --> 00:29:14,024
If she'd told us
about her symptoms sooner,
534
00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:16,026
like, ever,
she might not be dying.
535
00:29:16,151 --> 00:29:17,194
You were right after all.
536
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:18,362
I never said sickle...
537
00:29:18,487 --> 00:29:22,491
If everyone were more selfish,
the world would be a better place.
538
00:29:23,533 --> 00:29:25,327
So she's gonna die.
539
00:29:28,455 --> 00:29:29,748
Unless we can find...
540
00:29:29,873 --> 00:29:30,999
She burned through
one donor lung,
541
00:29:31,124 --> 00:29:33,794
transplant committee's never
gonna give her a second one.
542
00:29:34,878 --> 00:29:37,172
Well, then, I guess
you're right again.
543
00:29:41,134 --> 00:29:43,929
Unless we don't
need their approval.
544
00:29:53,438 --> 00:29:55,273
You can't advise
your patient's parents
545
00:29:55,399 --> 00:29:58,819
to take marrow
and half a lung from their son.
546
00:29:59,236 --> 00:30:02,447
Guess I could
just chat with them about the weather.
547
00:30:02,572 --> 00:30:05,075
But the blood
tests just confirmed sickle cell trait,
548
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,912
so they might be curious
about the only treatment option.
549
00:30:09,037 --> 00:30:10,831
Though we are having
weird weather lately.
550
00:30:10,997 --> 00:30:14,668
There is a huge reason
not to take lungs from living patients.
551
00:30:14,793 --> 00:30:16,002
So their siblings can die?
552
00:30:16,128 --> 00:30:18,046
Heir son has MD.
553
00:30:18,171 --> 00:30:20,882
As it is, he's gonna die
of respiratory failure by 25.
554
00:30:21,007 --> 00:30:22,759
We could cut whatever
time he has left in half.
555
00:30:22,884 --> 00:30:25,554
That qualifies as a bad reason
for them to reject the idea.
556
00:30:25,679 --> 00:30:27,597
It's a much worse reason
for them not to get the choice.
557
00:30:27,722 --> 00:30:29,891
It's coercive
to tell them.
558
00:30:30,016 --> 00:30:31,393
You ever hear of
"do no harm"?
559
00:30:31,518 --> 00:30:34,104
That was second year, right?
I had mono all that fall.
560
00:30:34,229 --> 00:30:35,605
Their son's not
even our patient.
561
00:30:35,730 --> 00:30:37,065
Why don't we just
take half a lung from
562
00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:38,442
some guy in the clinic
with a toothache?
563
00:30:38,567 --> 00:30:40,777
It's a great idea.
Now I can give the parents two options.
564
00:30:40,902 --> 00:30:43,822
We don't compromise
one life for another.
565
00:30:48,618 --> 00:30:49,828
Okay-
566
00:30:53,957 --> 00:30:57,252
"Okay"? Seriously?
567
00:30:59,045 --> 00:31:00,213
You made an argument.
568
00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:02,632
If you don't want me
to defer to you, why make it at all?
569
00:31:03,383 --> 00:31:07,596
But are you deferring to me just
because we're seeing each other?
570
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:12,642
Maybe.
571
00:31:14,936 --> 00:31:16,563
Yeah. I think so.
572
00:31:17,439 --> 00:31:21,443
Look, this is screwing me up.
Why is it not screwing you up?
573
00:31:23,236 --> 00:31:24,488
It is.
574
00:31:26,573 --> 00:31:29,576
I don't know why I okayed you
foaming that lung.
575
00:31:29,701 --> 00:31:31,620
I realized it was
wrong as soon as I said it.
576
00:31:31,745 --> 00:31:34,539
I knew it! I knew when
you tilted your head.
577
00:31:34,664 --> 00:31:38,251
House, we are
screwing this up.
578
00:31:39,711 --> 00:31:41,254
I'm gonna call HR.
579
00:31:42,297 --> 00:31:45,717
And find someone else to supervise you,
as soon as they can.
580
00:32:01,107 --> 00:32:05,278
I've got your test results.
581
00:32:07,405 --> 00:32:09,533
You have the metabolism,
blood counts,
582
00:32:09,658 --> 00:32:11,993
liver and kidney function
of a 92-year-old.
583
00:32:12,118 --> 00:32:13,870
Which is great
'cause you're 102.
584
00:32:13,995 --> 00:32:17,582
What's not so great is
the average life expectancy is 78.
585
00:32:17,707 --> 00:32:19,292
It is my recommendation
that you move into a home
586
00:32:19,417 --> 00:32:21,002
with round-the-clock care.
587
00:32:21,378 --> 00:32:22,546
(EXCLAIMS)
588
00:32:22,671 --> 00:32:24,631
I can't believe it.
589
00:32:25,298 --> 00:32:28,218
Can't my son give me
round-the-clock care?
590
00:32:28,343 --> 00:32:30,554
Not unless you've done
your two-year certification
591
00:32:30,679 --> 00:32:32,681
in Tiburon swab technology.
592
00:32:32,847 --> 00:32:34,432
SIDNEY: There must be
some other way.
593
00:32:34,558 --> 00:32:36,726
Just because he has
a little tingling,
594
00:32:36,851 --> 00:32:39,229
and some trouble
feeling hot and cold,
595
00:32:39,354 --> 00:32:40,647
and some difficulty...
596
00:32:40,772 --> 00:32:41,856
You can't feel
hot and cold?
597
00:32:41,982 --> 00:32:44,526
Not lately.
But at my age...
598
00:32:44,651 --> 00:32:46,444
Show me your teeth.
599
00:32:49,864 --> 00:32:53,493
Dentures. Fairly worn.
I'm guessing 10-years-old.
600
00:32:55,287 --> 00:32:56,705
Show me your denture cream.
601
00:32:57,664 --> 00:32:59,791
Why would he
carry denture cream?
602
00:32:59,916 --> 00:33:06,131
Because he has
zinc poisoning.
603
00:33:06,548 --> 00:33:09,092
To get it from denture cream,
he'd have to take so much of it.
604
00:33:09,259 --> 00:33:10,635
Trust me, he never
leaves home without it.
605
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,304
How much do you use, Pop?
606
00:33:12,429 --> 00:33:13,722
About a tube a day.
607
00:33:14,264 --> 00:33:16,808
I buy it online.
So what does this mean?
608
00:33:16,933 --> 00:33:19,728
Bizarrely, this explains
all your symptoms.
609
00:33:19,853 --> 00:33:21,980
Better-fitting dentures,
you'll be fine.
610
00:33:22,147 --> 00:33:23,857
Medically, there's no
reason to go anywhere.
611
00:33:34,701 --> 00:33:36,119
Hospital rebate.
612
00:33:37,579 --> 00:33:40,707
You might want to put it
toward couples therapy.
613
00:33:57,307 --> 00:33:59,100
The transplant committee's
never gonna give
614
00:33:59,225 --> 00:34:01,269
my daughter another
lung, are they?
615
00:34:01,394 --> 00:34:02,437
No.
616
00:34:02,854 --> 00:34:04,439
Are there any
other options?
617
00:34:05,815 --> 00:34:07,734
We're looking into it.
618
00:34:09,527 --> 00:34:10,904
Looking into what?
619
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:15,367
Please.
620
00:34:15,825 --> 00:34:19,162
Tell me, give me
some kind of hope.
621
00:34:19,371 --> 00:34:20,622
I'm afraid
I can't do that.
622
00:34:20,747 --> 00:34:24,959
We're talking about my daughter's life,
what can't you tell me?
623
00:34:27,170 --> 00:34:31,800
If there's any chance
you can save her,
624
00:34:32,676 --> 00:34:34,552
anything you can try.
625
00:34:41,476 --> 00:34:44,813
We can take marrow
and half a lung from your son.
626
00:34:46,856 --> 00:34:50,193
It would likely shorten
his life significantly.
627
00:34:52,987 --> 00:34:56,491
He'd never be able to go on
a respirator if he needed to.
628
00:34:56,616 --> 00:35:00,787
Most people with CMD need to
as their respiratory function declines.
629
00:35:09,921 --> 00:35:13,049
How long do
we have to decide?
630
00:35:14,592 --> 00:35:16,553
Morning at the latest.
631
00:35:22,392 --> 00:35:23,893
Thank you.
632
00:36:02,015 --> 00:36:03,850
Where are my parents?
633
00:36:04,434 --> 00:36:06,978
They're probably dealing
with committee issues or something.
634
00:36:07,812 --> 00:36:09,189
They were arguing.
635
00:36:10,023 --> 00:36:13,985
I saw my mom crying,
looked like my dad was yelling at her.
636
00:36:14,861 --> 00:36:16,905
They care
about you a lot.
637
00:36:25,622 --> 00:36:27,707
Hugo was a marrow match.
638
00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:31,127
We're way past that now.
639
00:36:32,921 --> 00:36:37,300
They want a lung from him, too.
Is that what this is about?
640
00:36:40,512 --> 00:36:43,431
No. It's nothing you
need to worry about.
641
00:36:43,556 --> 00:36:47,101
Everybody's working on getting you
the best care possible.
642
00:37:03,284 --> 00:37:06,371
How do they expect us
to go on from here?
643
00:37:09,457 --> 00:37:12,585
We make a choice,
we live with it.
644
00:37:14,546 --> 00:37:18,299
There's no living with it,
no matter what we decide.
645
00:37:38,945 --> 00:37:41,030
Still cold and clammy,
she had a respiratory arrest.
646
00:37:42,198 --> 00:37:43,408
Oh, my God!
647
00:37:43,533 --> 00:37:44,701
GEORGE: What is
she doing here?
648
00:37:46,119 --> 00:37:47,495
She figured out
what was going on.
649
00:37:47,620 --> 00:37:48,788
She's pinking up.
650
00:37:48,913 --> 00:37:51,165
TAUB: She must have
yanked off her IVs and oxygen.
651
00:37:52,375 --> 00:37:54,085
Came here to die.
652
00:38:04,971 --> 00:38:07,015
TAUB". By unhooking
herself from everything,
653
00:38:07,140 --> 00:38:10,059
she delivered
a hypoxic insult to her body.
654
00:38:10,184 --> 00:38:12,520
It started
a downward spiral.
655
00:38:13,062 --> 00:38:16,816
FOREMAN: If you're gonna make
a decision, you're running out of time.
656
00:38:18,067 --> 00:38:19,736
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGING)
657
00:38:25,825 --> 00:38:27,619
HR can't find you
a new supervisor.
658
00:38:27,744 --> 00:38:28,912
How come?
659
00:38:29,412 --> 00:38:31,748
Because you're
unsupervisable, House.
660
00:38:31,873 --> 00:38:33,458
Two department chairs
threatened to quit.
661
00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:35,960
Well, I guess we're
stuck with each other.
662
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,090
I have no idea why
I'm making this call,
663
00:38:41,215 --> 00:38:43,635
or if it's
the right call to make.
664
00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:46,679
But if you feel
strongly about presenting
665
00:38:46,804 --> 00:38:49,849
the parents your
treatment option,
666
00:38:49,974 --> 00:38:51,309
you can do it.
667
00:38:52,518 --> 00:38:56,022
Thank you. I will.
Several hours ago.
668
00:38:57,815 --> 00:38:59,108
You told them?
669
00:38:59,233 --> 00:39:01,861
I told him.
He came to my office.
670
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:07,742
I'm sorry.
671
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,666
Well, I should probably
be more mad at you.
672
00:39:16,542 --> 00:39:17,835
Yeah.
673
00:39:20,046 --> 00:39:21,547
Dr. House?
674
00:39:23,508 --> 00:39:24,759
We've decided.
675
00:39:26,219 --> 00:39:28,471
We're not gonna take
the lung from our son.
676
00:39:31,474 --> 00:39:33,142
She's still on
the waiting list.
677
00:39:33,267 --> 00:39:34,686
We're gonna do whatever
we can to find her another...
678
00:39:34,811 --> 00:39:38,731
What ginormous crack pipe
have you people been sucking on?
679
00:39:38,856 --> 00:39:39,899
House!
680
00:39:40,024 --> 00:39:41,150
Are you gonna
pretend that you're not
681
00:39:41,275 --> 00:39:42,360
choosing your own
daughter's death?
682
00:39:42,568 --> 00:39:43,736
Our daughter
doesn't want it.
683
00:39:43,861 --> 00:39:45,989
Probably doesn't want
to floss her teeth either.
684
00:39:46,114 --> 00:39:47,365
She's a mindless
teenybopper.
685
00:39:47,490 --> 00:39:48,741
Don't put this on them.
686
00:39:48,866 --> 00:39:50,326
What do you mean
"put it on"? It is on them.
687
00:39:50,451 --> 00:39:52,328
As much as they may
want to "pass the lung" here...
688
00:39:52,453 --> 00:39:55,957
Of course they do. You're handing them
an impossible choice...
689
00:39:56,124 --> 00:39:58,668
Life has handed them
a crappy choice.
690
00:39:58,793 --> 00:40:00,253
And they're picking
the crappier option.
691
00:40:00,378 --> 00:40:02,255
Trading who-knows-how-many
healthy decades
692
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:04,966
for four or five years
in which roller-boy will be a limp rag.
693
00:40:05,091 --> 00:40:06,759
Not everything is
a math equation.
694
00:40:06,884 --> 00:40:08,845
You need me to explain the difference
between decade and year?
695
00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:10,221
Their son is a human being.
696
00:40:10,346 --> 00:40:12,640
You know what they are,
right? Intrinsic value.
697
00:40:12,765 --> 00:40:13,891
We don't get to decide...
698
00:40:14,017 --> 00:40:15,059
Come on.
We do it every day.
699
00:40:15,184 --> 00:40:16,686
The two of them
needed the same lung...
700
00:40:16,811 --> 00:40:18,312
He needs to keep
the one he's got.
701
00:40:18,438 --> 00:40:20,773
You don't get to
play God by ripping out...
702
00:40:20,898 --> 00:40:23,317
That train left the station
when we learned to do transplants.
703
00:40:23,568 --> 00:40:24,652
The rest is
just paper-pushing.
704
00:40:24,777 --> 00:40:27,697
And of course now,
we're onto your real area of expertise.
705
00:40:27,822 --> 00:40:29,699
I thought we were
moving onto yours,
706
00:40:29,824 --> 00:40:34,537
bullying your patients into embracing
your own lack-of-a-moral...
707
00:40:37,749 --> 00:40:39,208
CLAIRE: Hugo, honey...
708
00:40:39,417 --> 00:40:40,918
We didn't mean for
you to hear any of this.
709
00:40:41,961 --> 00:40:43,504
Hugo, please.
710
00:40:59,645 --> 00:41:02,148
I want you to
take half my lung.
711
00:41:02,273 --> 00:41:03,399
No.
712
00:41:05,985 --> 00:41:07,528
I am not.
713
00:41:09,989 --> 00:41:12,575
You do so many great things.
714
00:41:13,409 --> 00:41:14,952
I just watch.
715
00:41:16,704 --> 00:41:20,166
I get to watch
and coach and cheer.
716
00:41:21,626 --> 00:41:26,047
But that's not me out there.
Never will be.
717
00:41:28,966 --> 00:41:33,137
If you take this piece
of me, carry it with you,
718
00:41:34,388 --> 00:41:37,767
then I really can share
in everything you do.
719
00:41:39,352 --> 00:41:43,606
This is the great thing
I can do with my life.
720
00:41:45,942 --> 00:41:48,861
Don't make me
live without you.
721
00:42:03,376 --> 00:42:04,585
(CRYING)
722
00:42:24,105 --> 00:42:24,981
We got lucky.
723
00:42:30,236 --> 00:42:32,446
I did give them
an impossible choice.
724
00:42:32,572 --> 00:42:34,782
The kid took it
away from them.
725
00:42:35,449 --> 00:42:36,909
That fight
726
00:42:39,162 --> 00:42:41,539
was the first
honest interaction
727
00:42:41,664 --> 00:42:43,958
you and I have had
since we came back to work.
728
00:42:46,627 --> 00:42:50,131
If we're painfully,
brutally honest with each other,
729
00:42:50,590 --> 00:42:53,092
maybe we'll
get lucky again.
730
00:42:56,637 --> 00:42:58,055
You've got a big ass.
