to like things that she really doesn't

just to make me feel better,
which will make her feel even worse,

to kill yourself?

Why does he get
the night off?
125
00:07:30,972 --> 00:07:34,559
Because he brought
a smoking hot babe.

you put on the psych hold.

145
00:08:44,129 --> 00:08:45,463

146
00:08:46,047 --> 00:08:48,341

the Dean of Medicine on a B and E?
147
00:08:48,466 --> 00:08:50,718
How did you
get in here?
148
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:54,263
Well, I guess you
have your answer.
149
00:08:54,264 --> 00:08:55,098
Well, I guess you
have your answer.
150
00:08:56,641 --> 00:08:58,101
FOREMAN: When was
your last physical?
151
00:08:58,226 --> 00:09:01,312
A while ago.
I don't like doctors.
152
00:09:03,481 --> 00:09:05,316
Any history of seizures
before today?
153
00:09:05,441 --> 00:09:09,821
Not that I recall.
Are we almost done? I'm tired.

if you would cooperate with us.
155

I am.
156
00:09:15,451 --> 00:09:17,620
You're evading
every question we ask.
157
00:09:17,745 --> 00:09:18,705
Why do you say that?
158
00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:19,873
That
159
00:09:20,874 --> 00:09:22,750
I didn't ask for help.
160
00:09:23,835 --> 00:09:25,920
Committing a suicidal
gesture says otherwise.
161
00:09:26,045 --> 00:09:27,422
It wasn't a gesture.
162
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:31,676
I had the damn seizure
before I could get the gun in my mouth.

You want to tell us why?
164
00:09:33,344 --> 00:09:37,348
You want to know
my life story, my secret inner pain?
165
00:09:37,849 --> 00:09:41,102
Maybe if I just open up a little,
you'll be able to save me?
166

We're just trying
to help you.
167
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:46,482
Thank you.
168
00:09:48,568 --> 00:09:49,861
I want a woman doctor.
169
00:09:49,986 --> 00:09:51,446
And back to being evasive.
170
00:09:51,946 --> 00:09:56,367
It's my right as a patient.
So, please, get out now.
171
00:09:56,492 --> 00:09:57,660
We need to
observe you overnight.
172
00:09:57,785 --> 00:09:59,412
You really think
I'm stupid enough
173
00:09:59,537 --> 00:10:01,581
to try and kill myself
in a hospital?
174
00:10:01,706 --> 00:10:03,416
To see if you have
another seizure.
175
00:10:03,541 --> 00:10:05,752
We'll be up there
and we won't disturb you
176
00:10:05,877 --> 00:10:08,421
unless there's a problem.
That work for you?
177
00:10:08,546 --> 00:10:11,466
Whatever it takes to
get you out of here.
178
00:10:12,508 --> 00:10:16,387
House, Christina has agreed
to not call the police.
179
00:10:16,512 --> 00:10:18,389
She's probably illegal.
180
00:10:18,514 --> 00:10:20,516
Same reason
she didn't report the suicide attempt.
181
00:10:20,934 --> 00:10:22,768
I called 911,
but when Miss Tanner woke up,
182
00:10:22,769 --> 00:10:23,603
I called 911,
but when Miss Tanner woke up,
183
00:10:23,728 --> 00:10:26,481
she said she would
fire me if I say anything about the gun.
184
00:10:26,606 --> 00:10:29,150
And if she whacks herself,
what happens to your job?
185
00:10:31,527 --> 00:10:33,571
I think she's
a very depressed person.
186
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:36,908
Never goes out,
doesn't have friends.
187
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,828
She has all this money,
but all she does is write.
188
00:10:41,537 --> 00:10:43,456
I need to see
her latest manuscript.
189
00:10:44,624 --> 00:10:47,502
She always locks up
her writing in there.
190
00:10:47,752 --> 00:10:52,507
Has she ever complained
about physical pain or stress?
191
00:10:52,966 --> 00:10:56,511
Yes. Her back
and her hands hurt a lot.
192
00:10:57,220 --> 00:11:00,598
A writer with back and hand pain.
That's very helpful. Let's go.
193
00:11:00,723 --> 00:11:03,017
Sometimes I hear
her cry at night
194
00:11:03,142 --> 00:11:05,395
when she thinks
nobody is listening.
195
00:11:06,646 --> 00:11:08,022
I should have
done something.
196
00:11:08,147 --> 00:11:09,274
True.
197
00:11:10,566 --> 00:11:11,609
What are you doing?
198
00:11:13,861 --> 00:11:16,656
Before there were
hard drives, there were...
199
00:11:26,874 --> 00:11:28,751
How many of these
does she eat a day?
200
00:11:28,876 --> 00:11:30,920
Two for lunch.
Sometimes three.
201
00:11:38,553 --> 00:11:42,223
Still no seizure activity.
It's your turn...
202
00:11:42,598 --> 00:11:43,683
(SNORING)
203
00:11:45,476 --> 00:11:46,477
What the hell?
204
00:11:46,602 --> 00:11:47,854
Close. House.
205
00:11:50,606 --> 00:11:54,569
She's fine. Both the EEG
and all her vitals have been...
206
00:12:01,534 --> 00:12:04,120
You. What do you want?
207
00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:05,580
You wet the bed.
208
00:12:07,332 --> 00:12:09,584
I'm just not sure how yet.
209
00:12:17,383 --> 00:12:18,760
Good morning, gentlemen.
210
00:12:19,427 --> 00:12:20,428
(CHUCKLES)
211
00:12:21,637 --> 00:12:24,557
Well, if it's any consolation,
I didn't get any sleep either.
212
00:12:25,850 --> 00:12:28,394
Unilateral hyperhidrosis.
Interesting.
213
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,647
She also admitted she tried to kill
herself, but won't tell us why.
214
00:12:31,773 --> 00:12:32,774
House searched her home,
215
00:12:32,899 --> 00:12:35,234
found she's been
eating two cans of tuna a day for years.
216
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,194
Mercury poisoning?
217
00:12:36,319 --> 00:12:40,239
Explains the seizures,
hand and back pain, also the depression.
218
00:12:40,365 --> 00:12:42,241
Explains everything
except the fact that it's not.
219
00:12:42,367 --> 00:12:44,327
We got her urine and blood samples back.
They're normal.
220
00:12:44,452 --> 00:12:46,412
CHASE: If it's low level,
it might not show up in a spot check.
221
00:12:46,537 --> 00:12:48,247
We'd need to run
continuous testing to find it.
222
00:12:48,373 --> 00:12:50,541
We can't. She wants
a female doctor.
223
00:12:50,666 --> 00:12:52,377
She only asked for
a woman to waste time.
224
00:12:52,502 --> 00:12:55,380
She's cooperating just enough
to get through the psych hold.
225
00:12:56,631 --> 00:12:59,217
Put some lipstick on Chase
and start chelation therapy.
226
00:12:59,342 --> 00:13:01,344
Confirm with another
urine test.
227
00:13:04,263 --> 00:13:06,391
Okay, I'll go talk to Cuddy.
228
00:13:06,516 --> 00:13:08,643
Maybe she'll let us
borrow a dress, too.
229
00:13:17,026 --> 00:13:18,027
(SIGHS)
230
00:13:20,488 --> 00:13:21,697
(CLEARING THROAT)
231
00:13:22,198 --> 00:13:23,699
This would be me ignoring you.
232
00:13:25,243 --> 00:13:26,869
What if we got
arrested last night?
233
00:13:27,495 --> 00:13:28,746
And whatever happened to keeping
our professional
234
00:13:28,871 --> 00:13:30,498
and personal lives
separate?
235
00:13:30,623 --> 00:13:32,625
I'm not the one talking
about our relationship at work.
236
00:13:34,001 --> 00:13:35,044
What's behind your back?
237
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:37,380
Peace penguin.
238
00:13:39,215 --> 00:13:40,675
What room should
I return it to?
239
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,801
243.
240
00:13:41,926 --> 00:13:44,679
I need some help with Alice Tanner.
She wants a vagina.
241
00:13:44,804 --> 00:13:47,098
I'm pretty attached to mine.
242
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,310
I told you to hire a temporary
replacement for Thirteen two weeks ago.
243
00:13:51,436 --> 00:13:52,478
I've been busy.
244
00:13:52,603 --> 00:13:53,813
- Doing what?
- You.
245
00:13:54,981 --> 00:13:56,107
So you'll talk
her out of it?
246
00:13:56,232 --> 00:13:57,316
You'll hire a woman doctor?
247
00:13:57,567 --> 00:13:59,485
(SCOFFS) Do you think
we just sit around
248
00:13:59,610 --> 00:14:01,737
talking sports
and belching and farting
249
00:14:01,863 --> 00:14:03,281
when chicks aren't around?
250
00:14:03,406 --> 00:14:05,324
(BURPING) - By when?
- Next week.
251
00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:05,574
Next week it is.
252
00:14:05,575 --> 00:14:07,118
Next week it is.
253
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,413
What makes you think
it's mercury?
254
00:14:10,538 --> 00:14:11,539
Your symptoms.
255
00:14:11,664 --> 00:14:15,710
I can perform the procedure myself
if you still prefer a woman doctor.
256
00:14:15,835 --> 00:14:17,837
But the team you
have is our best.
257
00:14:18,713 --> 00:14:20,923
That's an interesting
perfume you're wearing.
258
00:14:21,048 --> 00:14:22,383
It was a gift.
259
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:23,885
From Dr. House?
260
00:14:24,927 --> 00:14:27,680
(LAUGHS) It was all
over him last night.
261
00:14:28,097 --> 00:14:30,516
If you'd prefer another female doctor,
I can arrange that as well.
262
00:14:30,641 --> 00:14:33,728
I also smelled it
somewhere else more recently.
263
00:14:34,103 --> 00:14:36,022
Faint, but unmistakable.
264
00:14:38,065 --> 00:14:41,194
You should have worn a different
cardigan this morning, Christina.
265
00:14:41,652 --> 00:14:43,946
Something you'd like
to tell me, dear?
266
00:14:45,531 --> 00:14:50,286
When I found you yesterday,
I thought I was too late.
267
00:14:50,661 --> 00:14:53,998
I talked to them
so I could help you get better.
268
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:56,834
I just don't want to
see you suffer anymore.
269
00:14:56,959 --> 00:14:59,170
That won't be a problem.
270
00:14:59,295 --> 00:15:00,338
You're fired.
271
00:15:01,005 --> 00:15:03,591
This woman cares about you.
If it weren't for her...
272
00:15:03,716 --> 00:15:06,052
I wouldn't be here now,
would I?
273
00:15:06,177 --> 00:15:07,595
I should have
done it yesterday.
274
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,389
I understand
that you're in pain,
275
00:15:10,515 --> 00:15:12,600
but lashing out
isn't the answer.
276
00:15:13,017 --> 00:15:14,185
Treatment is.
277
00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:15,436
I agree.
278
00:15:16,145 --> 00:15:17,188
Send the men back.
279
00:15:18,022 --> 00:15:21,817
At least they're not
a bunch of dewy-eyed cry babies.
280
00:15:24,111 --> 00:15:25,154
WILSON: What's that?
281
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,406
It's the new
Jack Cannon novel.
282
00:15:30,409 --> 00:15:31,410
Suggestions?
283
00:15:31,536 --> 00:15:33,746
Yeah. Stop.
It can't be done.
284
00:15:34,622 --> 00:15:36,666
People wonder why
you never cured cancer.
285
00:15:38,626 --> 00:15:41,337
Did you get this before or after
your date with Cuddy?
286
00:15:41,462 --> 00:15:44,131
Yeah, probably would have been
a wiser choice.
287
00:15:44,257 --> 00:15:45,258
Huh.
288
00:15:46,050 --> 00:15:48,636
This is actually good, House.
289
00:15:48,761 --> 00:15:51,264
She's committing crimes.
What does that tell you?
290
00:15:52,265 --> 00:15:53,641
I'm a horrible influence.
291
00:15:53,766 --> 00:15:56,686
True. A horrible influence
she's reaching out to.
292
00:15:56,811 --> 00:15:58,354
She's looking
for ways to connect.
293
00:15:58,854 --> 00:16:02,650
Sure, they're self-destructive,
juvenile and insane,
294

00:16:05,987 --> 00:16:07,613
You do have
something in common.
296
00:16:07,863 --> 00:16:11,659
You're both trying to find things
you have in common.
297
00:16:13,786 --> 00:16:15,288
And not finding them.

Myself.
304
00:16:39,604 --> 00:16:41,731
If you're seeing things,
it could be another symptom.
305
00:16:41,981 --> 00:16:43,399
It's not.
306
00:16:43,524 --> 00:16:47,320
It's only in my imagination.
I make things up for a living.
307
00:16:50,865 --> 00:16:51,991
And talking to them?
308
00:16:52,116 --> 00:16:53,909
It's a writer thing.

00:16:54,535 --> 00:16:56,412
We're also good
at reading people.
310
00:16:56,704 --> 00:16:58,205

You stink of smoke,
but no yellow on your fingers or teeth
319

means she's the smoker
and you either didn't shower or change.

It's definitely not

00:18:20,287 --> 00:18:21,914
Could be haemolytic
uremic syndrome.
340

347
00:18:36,387 --> 00:18:39,306
She claims it was
only in her imagination, but still.
348
00:18:39,432 --> 00:18:40,725
When her BP spiked.
349
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:43,644
Comparing Taub to her ex-husband.
She really hated the guy.
350
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,524
And her first symptom
was when she had a gun to her head.
351
00:18:49,775 --> 00:18:55,281
Excess adrenaline would explain
the seizures and skyrocketing BP.
352
00:18:55,406 --> 00:18:56,699
A pheochromocytoma.
353
00:18:56,824 --> 00:18:58,409
Get an MRI and find it.
354
00:19:08,461 --> 00:19:10,421
Would you hold this?
355
00:19:16,427 --> 00:19:18,554
I meant now.
356
00:19:24,602 --> 00:19:26,520
Have I mentioned
I'm claustrophobic?
357
00:19:26,645 --> 00:19:27,980
Have I mentioned
we don't care?

Get her out of here!
She's got metal in her leg!

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
364
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,457
She has three screws
in her right leg
365
00:19:46,582 --> 00:19:48,709
from a skiing accident
she didn't tell us about.
366
00:19:48,834 --> 00:19:51,712
The MRl's magnetic field superheated
the metal, causing third-degree burns.
367
00:19:52,505 --> 00:19:55,800
Skin ruptured
from internal heat pressure here.
368
00:19:57,802 --> 00:19:59,220
It's not our fault.
369
00:19:59,345 --> 00:20:01,472
She signed the consent forms.
Denied there was any metal in...
370
00:20:01,597 --> 00:20:06,101
Normally I'd say it, but maybe this way
it'll finally sink in.
371
00:20:08,312 --> 00:20:12,191
She wants to die.
We cannot trust anything she says.
372
00:20:12,316 --> 00:20:14,735
Treating the soft tissue injuries
in her leg cost us most of the day.
373
00:20:15,027 --> 00:20:16,403
We also had to
replace the screws.
374
00:20:16,529 --> 00:20:20,366
And finding a pheochromocytoma without
using the MRI could take us a week.
375
00:20:20,533 --> 00:20:23,285
Longer if she doesn't
stop lying to us.
376
00:20:23,410 --> 00:20:27,748
Or we could figure out a way to find it
in the 39 hours left on her psych hold.
377
00:20:28,415 --> 00:20:32,586
We need to make her cooperate. We need
to offer her something she wants.
378
00:20:32,711 --> 00:20:34,255
She wants to
kill herself, House.
379
00:20:37,424 --> 00:20:38,509
I can work with that.
380
00:20:48,644 --> 00:20:50,604
I want you to
write more books.

You know, there are
easier ways to go

than shooting yourself
in the head or tearing apart a limb.

You expect me to believe
you're going to help me kill myself?

You are the perceptive one.
You tell me.

00:21:22,052 --> 00:21:23,095
Why?

We can't find your tumor in time
without your cooperation.

So I'm giving you a choice.
395

Give us a chance
to make you better

or stick this
anywhere and push.

You think you know me
because you read my books?
399
00:21:41,989 --> 00:21:44,867
No. I know pain.
400
00:21:46,535 --> 00:21:50,247
You think you can handle it,
and then one day you can't.
401
00:21:51,624 --> 00:21:54,877
And when that happens, you either
find reasons to go on or you don't.

wanna live and start writing again.

to take home with you.

There's no sign

We sampled blood
from six different areas

looking for any spikes
in adrenaline.
434
00:23:47,573 --> 00:23:48,574
All of them
were negative.
435
00:23:48,699 --> 00:23:51,785
If she told us her symptoms, where it
hurts, when the pain first started,
436
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:53,662
we could at least
focus on a specific area.

Oh, come on.
Why can't she love them both?
462

The typewriter keys should have left
impressions on these ribbon fibers.

They would also
remove a layer of ink.

you'd ask me first.

You don't like surprises?

Is this Alice's book?

00:26:08,005 --> 00:26:11,925
Sam reprogrammed the MRI
to read Alice's typewriter ribbon.

You used a $3 million
piece of hospital equipment

00:26:14,344 --> 00:26:15,596
so you could read a novel?
483

Cool, right?
484
00:26:18,432 --> 00:26:21,643
Well, as your girlfriend,
I'm impressed. As your boss,

you're a jackass.
Don't do it again.

Yeah? What would
that be exactly?

I don't know,
you know what I like.
494
00:26:40,537 --> 00:26:42,039
I got to get back to work.
495
00:26:48,795 --> 00:26:51,632
Found something.
It's not a tumor.
496
00:26:53,842 --> 00:26:55,677

it's encased around her heart.

a pericardial effusion.

Which wasn't there last night
when we did the PET scan.

Means she's getting worse, and there's
no sign of a pheochromocytoma.

Seizures, sweating,
rapid blood pressure

to something viral.

Or maybe a cancer.
503
00:27:15,822 --> 00:27:18,450
We could use your opinion, House.
Or at least your attention.
504
00:27:21,662 --> 00:27:23,997
Jack Cannon is not dead.
505
00:27:24,831 --> 00:27:26,708
It's worse.
506
00:27:26,833 --> 00:27:29,836
Ten books leading up
to a final confrontation.
507
00:27:29,962 --> 00:27:32,839
She ends it on a cliffhanger.
I mean, who does that?
508
00:27:32,965 --> 00:27:34,675
People who want to
sell you the 11th.

gonna kill herself.
510
00:27:36,009 --> 00:27:38,804
This is the final Jack Cannon,
and nothing gets resolved.
511
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,349
Who's his father?
Who killed his brother?
512
00:27:42,474 --> 00:27:44,226
How'd he get that
damn scar on his cheek?
513
00:27:44,351 --> 00:27:46,103
And why is he obsessed
with yo-yos?

His mentor, Helen Rutherford,
has contracted a mysterious illness
517
00:28:00,784 --> 00:28:03,954
which consists
of joint pain, fatigue,

00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,207
sensitivity to light
and depression.
519
00:28:07,332 --> 00:28:10,002
How do we know
this mentor character is really Alice?
520
00:28:11,211 --> 00:28:14,006
Helen dies halfway
through the book.
521
00:28:14,881 --> 00:28:18,593
Shoots herself in the head to save Jack
from having to care for her.
522
00:28:18,719 --> 00:28:22,556
If we add those to the symptoms we've
seen and the pericardial effusion?
523
00:28:22,681 --> 00:28:23,724
It's lupus.
524
00:28:25,434 --> 00:28:26,685
It can't be lupus.
525
00:28:27,686 --> 00:28:28,687
Why not?
526
00:28:28,812 --> 00:28:30,022
It isn't curable.
527
00:28:31,106 --> 00:28:33,525
That's not an answer.
It's treatable.
528
00:28:33,650 --> 00:28:36,111
We'll start testing
to see which drugs she best responds to.
529
00:28:36,236 --> 00:28:38,739
We're not gonna be able
to take her pain away.
530
00:28:38,864 --> 00:28:42,909
She's still gonna kill herself as soon
as she gets released tomorrow.

I can't let Jack Cannon
end this way.

not a book.

I deduced car accident
because thyroid fit the symptoms.
600
00:34:03,688 --> 00:34:06,024
But a damaged thyroid
wouldn't explain the paralysis.

but right about the accident?

Slowly growing over the years and
pressing against her spinal column.
607

Causes pain,
fluctuating blood pressure, seizures.
608
00:34:25,377 --> 00:34:28,129
And if untreated,
eventually leads to paralysis and death.

able to regain full function.

from back then,

of screws in her leg

against blood type,

to do what he wanted.

Yeah, all that
may be true,

but I've been reviewing

It wasn't the crash
that killed him.

Your son had a brain aneurysm.
That's why he crashed.

00:38:30,788 --> 00:38:32,373
He was dead
before the impact.
683

There was nothing
you could do to save him.

They would have told me.

They had no reason to dig any deeper,
it was a car accident. I did.

But you can see
the blood build up here.

00:38:46,179 --> 00:38:48,765
Your son would
have died that day
689
00:38:48,890 --> 00:38:52,101
on a bus, in school,
sitting on his bed.
690
00:38:52,894 --> 00:38:55,939
The only thing
the crash is killing is you.
691
00:38:56,981 --> 00:38:59,943
We need to repair that
syrinx in your neck.
692
00:39:02,946 --> 00:39:07,033
He was my world.
Writing...
693
00:39:09,035 --> 00:39:11,162
I could feel him with me.
694
00:39:15,625 --> 00:39:18,127
It wasn't my fault, Mom.
695
00:39:20,380 --> 00:39:22,298
And it wasn't mine.
696
00:39:44,112 --> 00:39:46,280
Her son didn't have
a brain aneurysm.
697
00:39:46,406 --> 00:39:49,993
Nope. She shouldn't have
let him drive in the rain.
698
00:39:51,494 --> 00:39:53,746
Jack was never
very coordinated.
699
00:39:54,747 --> 00:39:57,959
As your boss,
I am opposed to you lying to a patient.
700
00:39:58,501 --> 00:40:00,128
As your girlfriend,
I'm glad you care.
701
00:40:00,253 --> 00:40:01,421
I don't.
702
00:40:02,588 --> 00:40:04,966
I just wanted to
save Jack Cannon.
703
00:40:06,175 --> 00:40:08,469
I can see
why you like him.
704
00:40:08,594 --> 00:40:10,138
I started reading
one of the books you gave me.
705
00:40:11,389 --> 00:40:13,683
I find that
very hard to believe.
706
00:40:13,808 --> 00:40:16,185
Why?
Because I can't like something you like?
707
00:40:16,310 --> 00:40:17,854
We couldn't possibly
have something in common?
708
00:40:17,979 --> 00:40:19,981
Because I lied about
giving you the books.
709
00:40:20,648 --> 00:40:22,191
Oh.
Oh...
710
00:40:23,985 --> 00:40:25,528
Wilson told you.
Yeah.
711
00:40:25,653 --> 00:40:27,447
He's such a gossip.
712
00:40:27,572 --> 00:40:31,993
I'm not gonna dump you because we like
different food or books or music.
713
00:40:32,118 --> 00:40:35,747
On the other hand,
I might dump you if you don't talk to me
714
00:40:35,872 --> 00:40:37,290
when you have a problem
with our relationship.
715
00:40:37,415 --> 00:40:40,334
I know
you believe that now. But the fact is...
716
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:45,006
Who cares about common?
Common is boring.
717
00:40:45,339 --> 00:40:49,343
It's common.
I like being with you.
718
00:40:50,094 --> 00:40:51,262
You make me better.
719
00:40:51,387 --> 00:40:53,973
Hopefully,
I make you better.
720
00:40:54,891 --> 00:40:58,102
What we have is uncommon,
721
00:41:01,814 --> 00:41:04,233
and I've never been happier.
722
00:41:18,206 --> 00:41:21,417
Mind giving us
a moment alone, Christina?
723
00:41:29,050 --> 00:41:31,135
I'd like to thank you.
724
00:41:31,260 --> 00:41:35,014
Great. You can dedicate
the next Jack Cannon to me.
725
00:41:35,890 --> 00:41:37,141
I can't.
726
00:41:37,266 --> 00:41:38,434
You're still in pain?
727
00:41:38,559 --> 00:41:39,393
ALICE: No.
728
00:41:39,519 --> 00:41:42,105
You did everything
you said and more.
729
00:41:42,230 --> 00:41:44,982
I can finally move on.
730
00:41:45,108 --> 00:41:46,275
Thank you.
731
00:41:46,943 --> 00:41:48,027
Move on, where?
732
00:41:49,612 --> 00:41:51,697
I want to write
books for adults.
733
00:41:53,116 --> 00:41:57,036
What about Jack? Your last book,
you didn't answer anything.
734
00:41:57,161 --> 00:42:00,540
The way I ended
Jack's story is perfect.
735
00:42:00,873 --> 00:42:04,919
Each reader can decide
what fate they want for him themselves.
736
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,340
Yeah, but that's stupid.
That doesn't make any sense.
737
00:42:09,757 --> 00:42:12,760
How many answers
do you get in real life?
738
00:42:13,219 --> 00:42:16,848
This is a book.
Books have beginnings, middles and ends.
739
00:42:16,973 --> 00:42:19,225
You can't just leave
it on a cliffhanger. Who does that?
740
00:42:19,350 --> 00:42:22,436
I'm sorry.
His story's done.
741
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,942
There's really nothing
you can say to change my mind.
742
00:42:30,570 --> 00:42:32,196
Your son
743
00:42:40,454 --> 00:42:43,332
was very lucky
to have you as his mother.
744
00:42:54,802 --> 00:42:57,013
- That was...
- Oh, shut up.
