I'm fine.

Okay-

00:04:16,695 --> 00:04:19,573
I assume Cuddy told you
that she dumped me?

She did.

23
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:22,158
And that I'm
back on Vicodin.

24
00:04:23,118 --> 00:04:25,370
She told me you had
taken a Vicodin.

25
00:04:25,537 --> 00:04:27,581
And then I
took a lot more.

26
00:04:28,248 --> 00:04:29,291
And so on.

27
00:04:31,209 --> 00:04:32,043

Well, I'm not fine

but I'm fine as in
you don't have to worry about me.

30

Because you cleared out
your bank account,

31
00:04:37,591 --> 00:04:40,093
checked into a hotel
and started back on Vicodin.

32
00:04:40,218 --> 00:04:44,055
Because I'm going to be fine,
as in fine, very soon.

are you sure Vicodin is...

00:04:47,559 --> 00:04:48,602
My leg hurts.

You've been able
to handle the pain.

00:04:51,146 --> 00:04:52,022

just avoid the issue.

Nothing is either as bad or as good

It's why T.O. mocks his opponents
immediately after scoring.

48
00:05:14,544 --> 00:05:16,171
He doesn't wait till
his friend shows up

tell him to deal with it.

the only real issue

is how much I'm going to spend

Including your food.

After he and I
have sex,

61
00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:45,867
I'm going to slit his throat
and then disembowel him in the bathtub.

62

No problem, I'll cancel
the morning maid service.

anything else I can do

69
00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:01,800

Okay, this might not be
such a bad idea.

73
00:06:15,313 --> 00:06:18,274
What do you think
he meant by "anything"?

74
00:06:21,027 --> 00:06:23,279
Take some time
for yourself, relax.

75
00:06:24,406 --> 00:06:26,074
I know it's
a figure of speech,

76
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,952
but he really did seem
to underline the "anything".

77
00:06:29,077 --> 00:06:31,162

I know.

84
00:06:51,057 --> 00:06:52,100

85
00:06:52,225 --> 00:06:53,268

and a titanium plate
in his skull.

going to be useless as well.

Why would you say that?

97
00:07:18,918 --> 00:07:22,172
Cuddy dumped House. He's out somewhere
expecting us to indulge him

98
00:07:22,297 --> 00:07:24,424
while he ignores his job
and licks his wounds.

99
00:07:24,549 --> 00:07:25,633
Cuddy dumped him?

100
00:07:25,842 --> 00:07:28,094
Don't do that,
don't get sucked in.

What, you can't feel bad
for him for five minutes?

103
00:07:31,306 --> 00:07:32,140
I can feel bad for him

104
00:07:32,265 --> 00:07:35,310
while still expecting him
to act like an adult, show up for work

105
00:07:35,435 --> 00:07:38,563
and not go on a booze, Vicodin,
and hooker-filled bender.

106
00:07:38,813 --> 00:07:41,024
Which is why for now, we're going
to handle the case without him.

107
00:07:41,149 --> 00:07:42,442
Oh! Is that
the reason?

108
00:07:42,567 --> 00:07:45,195
I thought it was because you can't
pass up any chance to seize control.

109
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,821
I said "we", you want
pretty please, too?

110
00:07:46,946 --> 00:07:50,575
Wait, I understand the booze
and the hookers, but why Vicodin?

111
00:07:51,868 --> 00:07:54,370
Wow, you really don't have
any friends in here, do you?

112
00:07:54,704 --> 00:07:57,749

a Vicodin addict.

He's been clean
for two years.

He's used here at work?

115
00:08:01,544 --> 00:08:03,338
FOREMAN: Yes,
that is very troubling.

116
00:08:03,463 --> 00:08:05,048
Almost as much as
the fact that our patient

117
00:08:05,173 --> 00:08:07,509
has a ruptured diaphragm,
cracked sternum, broken nose,

118
00:08:07,634 --> 00:08:08,718
and partial hearing loss,

119
00:08:08,843 --> 00:08:10,553
which can be explained
by a bull jumping on him.

120
00:08:10,678 --> 00:08:13,223
And a neurological disorder,
low-grade fever,

121
00:08:13,348 --> 00:08:15,350
nausea, and peripheral muscle
weakness that can't.

122
00:08:15,475 --> 00:08:17,519
What if the hearing loss
wasn't caused by the bull?

123
00:08:17,644 --> 00:08:18,812
That's just
when he noticed it.

124
00:08:19,229 --> 00:08:21,564
Inner ear pathology
can affect the equilibrium

125
00:08:21,689 --> 00:08:22,899
and cause disorientation.

126
00:08:23,024 --> 00:08:25,193
Making it appear to be
a neurological disorder.

127
00:08:25,318 --> 00:08:26,778
So how do we confirm?

128
00:08:26,903 --> 00:08:28,780
CT is just going to show us
the plate and screws

129
00:08:28,905 --> 00:08:29,989
holding his skull together.

130
00:08:30,115 --> 00:08:32,075
We can do calorics
and an ENG.

131
00:08:32,242 --> 00:08:34,536
If he has inner ear damage,
it'll affect his balance.

132
00:08:35,036 --> 00:08:36,454
Sounds good, go ahead.

133
00:08:37,038 --> 00:08:38,540
Go ahead?
Really?

134
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,458
What if one of us
disagrees?

135
00:08:45,338 --> 00:08:48,258
I happen to agree
with Foreman. Go do it.

136
00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:51,553
You knew he was an addict
before you got involved.

137
00:08:51,719 --> 00:08:53,054
Didn't end
the relationship...

138
00:08:53,179 --> 00:08:54,180
You knew he was
an ass before...

139
00:08:54,305 --> 00:08:55,348
I didn't end it...

140
00:08:55,473 --> 00:08:58,017
You told him
you did not want him to change.

141
00:08:58,143 --> 00:09:00,520
- And I was wrong.
- You don't know that!

142
00:09:01,437 --> 00:09:03,314
You thought you
were going to die.

143
00:09:03,439 --> 00:09:07,110
Do you really think that was the right
time to make this kind of decision?

144
00:09:07,318 --> 00:09:08,361
No.

145
00:09:08,653 --> 00:09:09,779
But I thought about it.

146
00:09:10,321 --> 00:09:11,364
A lot.

147
00:09:13,449 --> 00:09:15,535
I haven't
changed my mind.

(SIGHS)

149
00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:20,290
He thought you
were going to die.

150
00:09:20,748 --> 00:09:24,002
Nobody knows the right way
to react in that situation.

151
00:09:24,127 --> 00:09:26,379
Just give him
another chance.

152
00:09:26,546 --> 00:09:28,173
He deserves it.

153
00:09:29,299 --> 00:09:30,800
I know.

154
00:09:31,593 --> 00:09:34,596
But this isn't about
what he deserves.

155
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:41,227
When things go wrong,
I don't want to hope that I'm not alone,

156
00:09:41,352 --> 00:09:42,937
I want to know it.

157
00:09:43,188 --> 00:09:44,814
With House,

158
00:09:46,357 --> 00:09:49,360
every time I needed
him to step up...

159
00:09:51,196 --> 00:09:53,156
It's just never
going to be that!

160
00:09:53,615 --> 00:09:56,910
It's not his fault, it's who he is.
I should've known it.

161
00:09:57,493 --> 00:09:59,078
This is my fault.

162
00:10:07,378 --> 00:10:08,713
Well, he's back
on Vicodin.

163
00:10:09,422 --> 00:10:10,590
So you might want

164
00:10:12,342 --> 00:10:14,385
to keep an eye on
his new patient.

165
00:10:19,557 --> 00:10:21,851
ENG was normal,
means his inner ear is...

166
00:10:21,976 --> 00:10:23,019
<i>HOUSE: Morons.</i>

167
00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:24,687

- Whoa, <i>wait</i> a sec.

00:10:24,812 --> 00:10:26,814

are beautiful.</i>

169
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:29,108
(DRAMATICALLY) Morons!

170
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,611
You say it.

171
00:10:31,736 --> 00:10:33,196
Morons.

172
00:10:33,529 --> 00:10:34,572
Who was that?

So is MRI-ing his heart.

414

He's got a seven centimeter conductive

it'll just feel like it's ripping him
in two, which is much better.

We could minimize the damage

so from an evolutionary point of view,

he'd produce

00:26:41,872 --> 00:26:46,251

is not in his heart, it's in his brain.

You're in my sun.

525
00:26:48,378 --> 00:26:49,379
Do a CT.

526
00:26:49,504 --> 00:26:52,174
We can't. He has a titanium plate
and a bunch of metal screws.

527
00:26:52,299 --> 00:26:53,383
Get rid of them.

528
00:26:53,508 --> 00:26:55,344
His skull has multiple
hair-line fractures.

529
00:26:55,469 --> 00:26:57,137
Removing the metal plate
will be like

530
00:26:57,262 --> 00:27:00,390
removing half an eggshell
without cracking the rest of the shell.

531
00:27:00,515 --> 00:27:03,518
And not removing the plate
will be like leaving the egg out to rot.

532
00:27:03,644 --> 00:27:06,146
We can't cut off the top of his head
based on a few symptoms

533
00:27:06,271 --> 00:27:09,608
that disappear
whenever we try to test for them.

534
00:27:12,069 --> 00:27:15,405
What if the one symptom
that hasn't disappeared,

535
00:27:15,739 --> 00:27:17,658
was never actually there.

536
00:27:17,824 --> 00:27:20,118
Any delays when he
answers questions?

537
00:27:21,703 --> 00:27:24,331

partial hearing loss,

538
00:27:24,665 --> 00:27:26,875
he's missing moments.

539
00:27:27,125 --> 00:27:28,752
He reported
having something like

540
00:27:28,877 --> 00:27:31,004
a complex partial seizure
during the bull ride.

541
00:27:31,129 --> 00:27:33,340
He said it hadn't happened since,
but what if he's wrong?

542
00:27:33,465 --> 00:27:34,549
What if the infection
in the brain

543
00:27:34,675 --> 00:27:35,884
is causing it to
happen all the time?

544
00:27:36,009 --> 00:27:38,553
His EEG didn't show
any sign of seizure activity.

545
00:27:38,679 --> 00:27:41,139
I didn't say it was a seizure,
I said it was something like a seizure.

which caused
a mycotic aneurysm in your aortic wall.
