1
00:00:03,358 --> 00:00:05,569
Okay, boys and girls.
2
00:00:05,694 --> 00:00:08,780
Guess what kind of animal
Wacky Benny's making now.
3
00:00:08,905 --> 00:00:09,948
Give you a big hint.
4
00:00:11,158 --> 00:00:13,243
(CROWING)
5
00:00:17,539 --> 00:00:18,999
(CHILDREN TITTERING)
6
00:00:19,124 --> 00:00:20,876
Is it a dead animal?
7
00:00:23,587 --> 00:00:27,174
I say we put him out of his misery
and bring out Emma's cake.
8
00:00:27,299 --> 00:00:30,260
He's so new to this. How's he
gonna learn if we stop his act?
9
00:00:30,385 --> 00:00:31,678
You're a sucky clown.
10
00:00:32,763 --> 00:00:35,432
And you're
a super-duper audience.
11
00:00:39,645 --> 00:00:41,021
Hey, that is not okay.
12
00:00:41,146 --> 00:00:42,522
Hey, keep your hands off my son!
13
00:00:42,648 --> 00:00:45,192
Tell him to keep his hands off me.
14
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:56,495
I can't move my arm or leg.
15
00:01:29,361 --> 00:01:32,656
So how does a completely healthy
teenager have a mini-stroke?
16
00:01:32,781 --> 00:01:35,367
Head CT and cerebral
angiogram are normal,
17
00:01:35,492 --> 00:01:37,285
clotting parameters are normal.
18
00:01:37,411 --> 00:01:41,081
You're forgetting the wrinkly clump
in the middle of his shirt.
19
00:01:41,206 --> 00:01:44,126
Thought we'd diagnose
the middle-aged clown first.
20
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:46,086
It's probably from my seatbelt.
21
00:01:46,211 --> 00:01:47,295
Wrinkle pattern's too varied.
22
00:01:47,421 --> 00:01:49,423
Looks like someone shoved you.
Or grabbed you.
23
00:01:49,548 --> 00:01:52,050
Probably from the diaper bag.
If the patient's using drugs,
24
00:01:52,175 --> 00:01:54,177
cocaine could've caused
an arterial spasm in his brain...
25
00:01:54,302 --> 00:01:55,345
Tox screen's clean.
26
00:01:55,470 --> 00:01:58,515
I'm gonna say it was
the ex-girlfriend you cheated on,
27
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,225
not the ex-wife you cheated with
28
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:01,935
because if the latter
was prone to violence,
29
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:05,897
you'd have been scattered
in various dumpsters years ago.
30
00:02:07,983 --> 00:02:09,651
Seriously?
31
00:02:09,776 --> 00:02:11,945
No one else wants to
talk about the patient?
32
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:14,823
New office furniture.
Meaty topic.
33
00:02:14,948 --> 00:02:17,242
What's the action on the ex-wife?
34
00:02:18,702 --> 00:02:20,245
It was Rachel's boyfriend Phil.
35
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:22,205
His company's moving
him back to Portland.
36
00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:24,166
He wants me to change
my visitation order
37
00:02:24,291 --> 00:02:27,627
so he can ask Rachel and my daughter
to move out west with him.
38
00:02:27,753 --> 00:02:29,796
Things got a little heated.
39
00:02:31,214 --> 00:02:33,258
The patient was punched in the groin,
40
00:02:33,383 --> 00:02:35,969
could've triggered a massive
sympathetic discharge...
41
00:02:36,094 --> 00:02:37,554
Carotid duplex is normal.
42
00:02:37,679 --> 00:02:39,806
And who's better
qualified to be the daddy?
43
00:02:39,931 --> 00:02:42,851
The guy who spilled a little DNA
in her gene pool,
44
00:02:42,976 --> 00:02:44,478
or the guy who's gonna be there
day and night
45
00:02:44,603 --> 00:02:49,149
to pass on important values like not
shtupping Mommy after the divorce?
46
00:02:49,274 --> 00:02:52,944
I am her daddy.
She's staying here.
47
00:02:53,069 --> 00:02:54,154
CHI:
House has a point.
48
00:02:54,279 --> 00:02:56,740
A couple nights a week with each kid
may make you feel better.
49
00:02:56,865 --> 00:02:58,617
It doesn't replace
two round-the-clock parents.
50
00:02:58,742 --> 00:03:01,119
Round-the-clock or not,
parenting's an impossible job.
51
00:03:01,244 --> 00:03:03,538
No way not to mess it up.
52
00:03:03,663 --> 00:03:05,582
Why shouldn't Taub
be the one to do it?
53
00:03:05,707 --> 00:03:07,000
- Thank you.
- Makes sense.
54
00:03:07,125 --> 00:03:09,753
Park's tiger mom and dad
were so insufferable,
55
00:03:09,878 --> 00:03:12,088
she has to measure
their affection in hours.
56
00:03:12,214 --> 00:03:15,634
Chase's careerist dad and alcoholic mom
were so indifferent,
57
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:17,052
he has to believe it's a wash.
58
00:03:17,177 --> 00:03:18,136
Your turn.
59
00:03:18,261 --> 00:03:19,721
What did your
screwed-up parents do
60
00:03:19,846 --> 00:03:21,223
to screw up your
view of parenting?
61
00:03:22,766 --> 00:03:24,100
They were good parents.
62
00:03:24,226 --> 00:03:25,936
That's an oxymoron.
63
00:03:26,061 --> 00:03:28,563
Chase is right,
all parents screw up all children.
64
00:03:28,688 --> 00:03:30,774
He's also dreamy,
but it's not relevant now.
65
00:03:30,899 --> 00:03:32,651
TAUB:
So all parents screw up all children,
66
00:03:32,776 --> 00:03:34,069
but it makes some huge difference
67
00:03:34,194 --> 00:03:36,446
if I keep my daughter
here or let her move?
68
00:03:36,571 --> 00:03:39,533
Endocarditis, flipped a piece
of vegetation into his brain,
69
00:03:39,658 --> 00:03:41,326
which could've broken up
before the angiogram.
70
00:03:42,536 --> 00:03:44,496
Transesophageal echo to confirm.
71
00:03:45,121 --> 00:03:46,873
And screwed up is her best-case.
72
00:03:46,998 --> 00:03:49,417
Bouncing between
a philandering, workaholic dad
73
00:03:49,543 --> 00:03:52,254
and an embittered,
sexually-betrayed mom,
74
00:03:52,379 --> 00:03:54,798
it's gonna lead to
screwed-up squared.
75
00:03:57,467 --> 00:03:59,594
- Is endocarditis treatable?
- Very.
76
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,180
The echo will show us
any growths on his heart valve.
77
00:04:02,305 --> 00:04:05,392
Most likely meds'll be enough,
he won't even need surgery.
78
00:04:05,517 --> 00:04:09,354
He's just taken up performing,
and it's very stressful for him.
79
00:04:10,105 --> 00:04:11,022
Could that have caused this?
80
00:04:11,147 --> 00:04:13,066
It's not stressful, I have fun.
81
00:04:13,191 --> 00:04:14,317
Stress wouldn't be relevant.
82
00:04:14,442 --> 00:04:17,821
But anything that increases his
adrenaline could have made it worse.
83
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:22,242
Maybe we find you a new hobby.
One you're a little better at.
84
00:04:22,367 --> 00:04:26,580
I'm gonna get better at it,
and it's not a hobby.
85
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:28,999
I think I want to get a job working
86
00:04:29,124 --> 00:04:31,501
as a circus clown, making people laugh.
87
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:36,464
Ben, I don't think
that's a good idea.
88
00:04:36,590 --> 00:04:38,758
It was good enough for my dad.
89
00:04:40,135 --> 00:04:43,013
- You were a...
- His biological father.
90
00:04:43,138 --> 00:04:45,015
Could his dad's melanoma
be a factor here?
91
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,142
That wouldn't be related.
92
00:04:47,767 --> 00:04:49,394
Ben, you barely knew him.
93
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:50,979
You're such a smart kid,
94
00:04:51,104 --> 00:04:56,318
you could aim a lot higher
than face paint and seltzer bottles.
95
00:04:58,862 --> 00:05:00,697
I need treatment for
my Type 2 diabetes.
96
00:05:02,407 --> 00:05:05,285
There is absolutely no part
of that sentence that is true.
97
00:05:05,410 --> 00:05:08,538
I've been experiencing weight gain,
fatigue and sluggishness.
98
00:05:08,663 --> 00:05:10,999
Weight loss is a symptom of diabetes.
99
00:05:11,124 --> 00:05:12,918
Fatigue is a symptom of thinking you
100
00:05:13,043 --> 00:05:14,294
have a disease you don't actually have.
101
00:05:14,419 --> 00:05:16,755
And sluggishness
is a synonym of fatigue.
102
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,090
I need insulin. I know it.
103
00:05:19,215 --> 00:05:22,510
Much as I'd like to kill you by
dangerously lowering your blood sugar,
104
00:05:22,636 --> 00:05:24,387
murder violates my parole.
105
00:05:24,512 --> 00:05:27,265
That blood work is weeks old.
Test me again.
106
00:05:27,390 --> 00:05:30,018
I am the test.
The test is negative.
107
00:05:30,644 --> 00:05:33,021
The test also thinks
you're a giant pain in the ass.
108
00:05:36,191 --> 00:05:38,568
That last insult
was your cue to leave.
109
00:05:40,236 --> 00:05:41,947
Test me.
110
00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:45,492
Fine. Wait right here.
111
00:05:46,701 --> 00:05:47,869
Thank you.
112
00:05:50,956 --> 00:05:55,251
Sleep study. Please make sure he's
not disturbed for the next eight hours.
113
00:05:55,377 --> 00:05:57,629
We need to talk about Saturday night.
114
00:05:57,754 --> 00:06:00,048
No, I10, I10, no, no.
115
00:06:00,173 --> 00:06:03,510
Historians will talk of Saturday night,
not us.
116
00:06:03,635 --> 00:06:07,472
The legendary night on which we watch
Santos shatter Rubio's jaw
117
00:06:07,597 --> 00:06:09,432
and you epically pay me $50.
118
00:06:09,557 --> 00:06:11,810
I
have a chance to really watch it.
119
00:06:11,935 --> 00:06:14,229
A patient of mine
has a pair of tickets he can't use.
120
00:06:14,354 --> 00:06:18,984
And obviously you're under
house and office arrest,
121
00:06:19,109 --> 00:06:21,194
I just wanted to make sure
you were cool
122
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,488
if I go to Atlantic City without you.
123
00:06:23,613 --> 00:06:24,948
No, thanks.
124
00:06:25,073 --> 00:06:26,783
I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to decline your invitation
125
00:06:26,908 --> 00:06:29,577
to not spend Saturday night with you.
126
00:06:29,703 --> 00:06:31,663
These are ringside seats.
127
00:06:31,788 --> 00:06:33,748
Cameras are ringside, too.
128
00:06:33,873 --> 00:06:35,834
If you want, I could sweat and spit
129
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:37,919
and bleed on you from time to time.
130
00:06:38,044 --> 00:06:39,921
I'd take you if I could.
131
00:06:40,046 --> 00:06:42,132
Well, I'd take me if either of us could.
132
00:06:42,257 --> 00:06:45,218
- See what a tough spot I'm in?
- I'm going to that fight.
133
00:06:47,512 --> 00:06:50,432
All right, I'll take the other ticket.
134
00:06:50,557 --> 00:06:53,143
Let me worry about logistics.
135
00:07:02,193 --> 00:07:05,071
Patient's heart valves are normal.
It's not endocarditis.
136
00:07:05,196 --> 00:07:07,240
But he has a thickened pericardium,
which makes no sense.
137
00:07:07,365 --> 00:07:11,202
He has a heart problem, but not one
that could've caused his TIA.
138
00:07:11,327 --> 00:07:13,329
Syphilitic vasculitis
would explain the TIA
139
00:07:13,455 --> 00:07:14,831
and the pericardial
inflammation.
140
00:07:14,956 --> 00:07:18,043
Syph test was negative. Plus,
the kid's never been sexually active.
141
00:07:18,168 --> 00:07:21,337
Yeah, I got that from the line
on his chart that says "birthday clown".
142
00:07:21,463 --> 00:07:24,549
- His late father was a circus clown.
- Histoplasmosis.
143
00:07:24,674 --> 00:07:25,884
HOUSE:
He's not immunocompromised.
144
00:07:26,009 --> 00:07:27,844
And I assume you added
that irrelevant tidbit
145
00:07:27,969 --> 00:07:30,513
because you're moved
by the son's idiotic tribute,
146
00:07:30,638 --> 00:07:32,557
and think it justifies
keeping your daughter in New Jersey.
147
00:07:32,682 --> 00:07:34,225
But what if he has
a heightened immune system.
148
00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:36,644
I mentioned it because...
149
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,067
Take your time.
We'll continue with medicine.
150
00:07:42,192 --> 00:07:45,737
Sj6gren's could've given him chronic
pericarditis and cerebral arteritis.
151
00:07:45,862 --> 00:07:48,490
Sj6gren's it is.
IV immunosuppressants to treat.
152
00:07:50,658 --> 00:07:52,702
Anything?
153
00:07:54,287 --> 00:07:56,164
This'll calm
your immune system.
154
00:07:56,289 --> 00:07:59,417
You should be out of here
within the week.
155
00:07:59,542 --> 00:08:01,586
My mom'll be
happy to hear that.
156
00:08:01,711 --> 00:08:03,838
I've got an internship
that starts in three weeks.
157
00:08:04,464 --> 00:08:06,716
I take it it's not at
a place with a big top.
158
00:08:07,884 --> 00:08:10,345
It's in my stepdad's law office.
159
00:08:11,971 --> 00:08:15,225
I know I'm not any good
at being a clown yet,
160
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:17,560
but when I do get a laugh,
161
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,939
see those kids' eyes light up,
162
00:08:21,064 --> 00:08:24,025
that's how my dad made me feel
when I was a kid.
163
00:08:25,693 --> 00:08:26,986
You need to hang onto that.
164
00:08:28,613 --> 00:08:29,656
(SIGHS)
165
00:08:29,781 --> 00:08:33,576
My mom says he was a loving father,
166
00:08:33,701 --> 00:08:37,122
but always broke
and always on the road.
167
00:08:37,247 --> 00:08:39,541
It's a stupid way to make a living.
168
00:08:40,834 --> 00:08:44,003
You're 16.
Plenty of time to make money.
169
00:08:45,463 --> 00:08:47,924
Wanting to build a connection
with your dad,
170
00:08:48,049 --> 00:08:51,344
pass on some of the joy
that he gave you,
171
00:08:51,469 --> 00:08:53,179
that's not stupid at all.
172
00:08:56,599 --> 00:08:58,351
I got it.
173
00:09:04,315 --> 00:09:07,068
(STUTTERS)
Is this because of the medication?
174
00:09:07,193 --> 00:09:08,486
Is it normal?
175
00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:17,328
It's not normal,
and it's not Sj6gren's.
176
00:09:24,419 --> 00:09:26,421
TIA, thickened pericardium, and now
177
00:09:26,546 --> 00:09:29,299
he's bleeding from his nose and mouth.
178
00:09:31,718 --> 00:09:33,511
What are you doing with her?
179
00:09:33,636 --> 00:09:34,971
"Her"?
180
00:09:35,763 --> 00:09:39,934
Surely this little bundle of fun
has an actual name.
181
00:09:41,311 --> 00:09:43,062
It's Sophie.
182
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,773
Both your kids are named...
183
00:09:45,899 --> 00:09:48,401
She's Sophie.
The other one's Sophia.
184
00:09:48,526 --> 00:09:49,527
It's different enough.
185
00:09:49,652 --> 00:09:52,572
They actually have
two completely different derivations.
186
00:09:53,448 --> 00:09:55,825
No, they don't.
187
00:09:55,950 --> 00:09:59,370
I wasn't in a strong
negotiating position. Why is she here?
188
00:09:59,495 --> 00:10:02,498
Ruby dropped her off.
Seemed pretty upset.
189
00:10:02,624 --> 00:10:04,834
Apparently someone forgot
that it was Daddy's night.
190
00:10:04,959 --> 00:10:06,211
She wasn't even gonna leave her
191
00:10:06,336 --> 00:10:07,962
till I said
that I was letting you off early.
192
00:10:08,087 --> 00:10:11,299
Damn it. I just started back
on the team. My schedule's a mess.
193
00:10:11,424 --> 00:10:13,301
If your own kids are a scheduling item,
194
00:10:13,426 --> 00:10:15,887
maybe you should let one of them move.
195
00:10:16,012 --> 00:10:18,514
Patient has low platelets,
makes me think DIC.
196
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,474
(BABY SQUEALS)
197
00:10:19,599 --> 00:10:20,558
HOUSE: She doesn't seem
to like that idea.
198
00:10:20,683 --> 00:10:25,688
You're right.
No schistocytes in his smear.
199
00:10:25,813 --> 00:10:29,651
He also has a low red count.
What if it's a retroperitoneal bleed?
200
00:10:29,776 --> 00:10:30,777
No Grey-Turner's sign.
201
00:10:30,902 --> 00:10:33,571
She wasn't fussy like that
when I was holding her.
202
00:10:33,696 --> 00:10:35,281
Maybe she likes the sound of my voice.
203
00:10:35,406 --> 00:10:39,577
Which is weird because I have
no genetic connection to her.
204
00:10:40,787 --> 00:10:43,706
Could it be
she doesn't know the difference?
205
00:10:43,831 --> 00:10:45,375
So many children of your own,
206
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:46,876
no wonder you have such insight into
207
00:10:47,001 --> 00:10:48,169
my relationship
with my babies.
208
00:10:48,294 --> 00:10:51,589
Good point. How could I comprehend
that you're too despised
209
00:10:51,714 --> 00:10:53,174
to keep them from
having the same name,
210
00:10:53,299 --> 00:10:55,385
too overwhelmed
to remember your own calendar,
211
00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:57,262
and too vain to
admit that at this stage,
212
00:10:57,387 --> 00:10:59,847
you don't matter to either baby?
213
00:11:01,015 --> 00:11:03,309
Low white count suggests infection.
214
00:11:04,435 --> 00:11:07,021
What if you're all right?
Low platelets, plus low red count,
215
00:11:07,146 --> 00:11:08,690
plus low white count equals...
216
00:11:08,815 --> 00:11:12,318
- Aplastic anemia.
- Kid needs a bone marrow transplant.
217
00:11:13,111 --> 00:11:15,363
Everyone except Adams transfuse
218
00:11:15,488 --> 00:11:17,949
his platelets till you find a match.
219
00:11:24,414 --> 00:11:27,166
You started college a semester late
220
00:11:27,292 --> 00:11:30,169
because you left high
school a semester late
221
00:11:30,295 --> 00:11:34,716
because you had five inoompletos
in your junior year.
222
00:11:34,841 --> 00:11:36,467
And you're offering one bad semester
223
00:11:36,592 --> 00:11:38,386
as proof that my parents
screwed me up?
224
00:11:38,511 --> 00:11:40,763
Did okay before that,
straight A's after that.
225
00:11:40,888 --> 00:11:42,765
I went through a rebellious phase.
226
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:46,311
Don't tell me. Mom and Dad
were at each other's throats,
227
00:11:46,436 --> 00:11:49,689
and the academic crisis
was a cry for help.
228
00:11:51,941 --> 00:11:55,528
Sorry to mess with your world view,
but I'm not messed up.
229
00:11:55,653 --> 00:11:58,239
So my parents
couldn't have messed me up.
230
00:11:59,032 --> 00:12:02,118
Mom's HLA is only a 3/6 match.
231
00:12:02,243 --> 00:12:04,203
Maternal grandmother's
worse than that.
232
00:12:04,329 --> 00:12:05,413
Where'd you unload the baby?
233
00:12:05,538 --> 00:12:06,998
Maternity ward. Shut up.
234
00:12:07,123 --> 00:12:10,376
You realize you're making
House's argument for him.
235
00:12:10,501 --> 00:12:12,545
The part where he said
any parent who uses day care
236
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:14,213
should ship their child
across the country?
237
00:12:14,339 --> 00:12:16,424
No, the part where he said
that baby doesn't need you.
238
00:12:16,549 --> 00:12:18,384
You've only got her
a couple days a week,
239
00:12:18,509 --> 00:12:20,428
and most of that's spent
with a rotating cast of nurses...
240
00:12:20,553 --> 00:12:22,472
That's how Daddy likes
to spend his time, too.
241
00:12:22,597 --> 00:12:25,266
- Shut up.
- First cousin's also a whiff.
242
00:12:25,391 --> 00:12:28,519
So much for genetics mattering.
I'll try the marrow registry.
243
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:33,608
TAUB:
Dr. Park is searching the registry.
244
00:12:33,733 --> 00:12:36,110
Transfusing his platelets
will keep him healthy while we wait.
245
00:12:36,235 --> 00:12:38,279
You sure there's no one
on the father's side of the family?
246
00:12:38,404 --> 00:12:40,865
If one of them's a match,
that'd speed things up a lot.
247
00:12:41,741 --> 00:12:43,701
(SIGHS)
His parents died young,
248
00:12:43,826 --> 00:12:44,660
he was an only child.
249
00:12:44,786 --> 00:12:46,829
There's no living relatives
that I know of.
250
00:12:46,954 --> 00:12:47,872
Something will turn up soon.
251
00:12:47,997 --> 00:12:49,832
How soon is soon?
Will he miss a lot of school?
252
00:12:49,957 --> 00:12:52,877
I'm actually thinking
of just getting my GED.
253
00:12:53,836 --> 00:12:55,755
How do you expect
to get into a good college?
254
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,176
I'm gonna take classes on magic,
juggling, try to make a go of this.
255
00:13:00,301 --> 00:13:02,929
Ben, you keep your grades up,
you can do anything in the world.
256
00:13:03,054 --> 00:13:05,973
Like what?
Work in some boring office?
257
00:13:06,099 --> 00:13:08,893
Do you think my father
would have done that for 10 minutes?
258
00:13:09,018 --> 00:13:10,603
You don't remember your father.
You don't know...
259
00:13:10,728 --> 00:13:13,147
I want to build a connection with him.
260
00:13:13,981 --> 00:13:17,193
Pass on some of
the joy that he gave me.
261
00:13:19,862 --> 00:13:21,072

I'm in a meeting.
267
00:13:36,337 --> 00:13:40,007
Sorry. Since you paged me,
I didn't want to keep you waiting.
268
00:13:40,133 --> 00:13:42,510
Yeah. I paged you,
which means you're next.
269
00:13:42,635 --> 00:13:45,263
That's cool. I'll wait.
270
00:13:45,388 --> 00:13:49,142
That's a good start.
Let's go through it point by point.
271
00:13:49,684 --> 00:13:51,352
First up...
272
00:13:55,148 --> 00:13:56,732
I'll call you back.
273
00:13:58,443 --> 00:14:00,403
Just got this.
274
00:14:01,154 --> 00:14:03,406
The American Association
of Rheumatology
275
00:14:03,531 --> 00:14:07,410
wants you to speak, 9:00, Saturday,
in Atlantic City.
276
00:14:07,535 --> 00:14:10,955
Dr. Neusinger canceled on them
at the last minute.
277
00:14:12,206 --> 00:14:14,250
I hate conferences.
278
00:14:14,792 --> 00:14:17,503
Well, this is a big one.
And it's the premium slot.
279
00:14:18,337 --> 00:14:21,340
I'd like you to do it.
I'll clear it with your parole officer.
280
00:14:22,758 --> 00:14:24,802
What do I need to do for you?
281
00:14:27,597 --> 00:14:30,683
Halve the clinic hours
that you recently doubled,
282
00:14:30,808 --> 00:14:34,395
and double the hooker budget
that you recently halved.
283
00:14:35,855 --> 00:14:38,774
I think you refer
to it as petty cash.
284
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,027
Fine.
285
00:14:42,945 --> 00:14:46,365
Just one thing. I'm gonna ask them
to put you on in the morning.
286
00:14:46,491 --> 00:14:49,327
We're doing them a favor. Why
should you have to spend the night?
287
00:14:49,452 --> 00:14:52,955
But you said that 9:00
was the premium slot.
288
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,333
I want to feel like
I've earned my hookers.
289
00:14:55,458 --> 00:14:57,585
The place'll be a madhouse.
290
00:14:57,710 --> 00:15:01,464
Especially since it's 2 miles from the
Rubio fight, at the exact same time.
291
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,594
Nice try. You called up,
pretended to be Neusinger, canceled,
292
00:15:06,719 --> 00:15:09,263
then suggested yourself
as a replacement.
293
00:15:09,388 --> 00:15:11,098
You go to that fight, you go to prison.
294
00:15:11,224 --> 00:15:12,475
Well, that'd be redundant
295
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,187
when I have an angry black guy waiting
for me to drop the soap right here.
296
00:15:16,312 --> 00:15:19,106
Better go do some of those clinic hours
I recently doubled.
297
00:15:25,196 --> 00:15:26,781
Test my urine.
298
00:15:28,032 --> 00:15:29,825
Looks like I was wrong
about my diagnosis.
299
00:15:29,951 --> 00:15:31,661
Yeah. I have diabetes.
300
00:15:31,786 --> 00:15:34,330
No. But you're not a hypochondriac.
301
00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:36,165
Or you'd have imagined
some new disease
302
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:37,583
after I shot down the first one.
303
00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:41,087
So whose urine is that? Diabetic
girlfriend without health insurance?
304
00:15:41,212 --> 00:15:45,007
It's not a scam, I'm sick.
Now I have swollen ankles.

00:15:45,132 --> 00:15:47,051
The medical term is cankles.
306
00:15:47,176 --> 00:15:50,054
Is there some black market in insulin
that I don't know about?
307
00:15:50,179 --> 00:15:51,556
It's in my genes.
308
00:15:51,681 --> 00:15:55,893
My old man got diabetes at 50, my older
brother got it at 50, I just turned 50.
309
00:15:56,018 --> 00:15:59,188
Well, that's a great argument
if diabetes was a gold watch.
310
00:15:59,313 --> 00:16:03,276
I've got sciatica like my dad,
class-four hemorrhoids like him.
311
00:16:03,401 --> 00:16:05,361
I need to get
a jump on this thing.

Patient's having an allergic reaction
to donor platelets.

No one in Mom's family's a match,

00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:15,329
and as far as she knows,
Dad has no living relatives.
317
00:16:15,454 --> 00:16:17,540
It's been years since he died.
318
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,175
If the kid's dad
died young of melanoma,
319
00:16:29,677 --> 00:16:30,720
how come the overprotective mom
320
00:16:30,845 --> 00:16:32,763
never took him to a dermatologist?
321
00:16:32,888 --> 00:16:35,182
Are you gonna test my urine, or what?
322
00:16:48,904 --> 00:16:51,240
Not diabetes.
323
00:16:51,365 --> 00:16:52,742
Use crossmatched platelets,
324
00:16:52,867 --> 00:16:55,119
try to find the patient some blood
that's closer to his own.
325
00:16:55,244 --> 00:16:58,039
And get the real story
on clown senior's death.

Mom's hiding something.
327
00:16:59,999 --> 00:17:02,585
There's a good bet
that it's medically relevant.

a spike in blood sugar.
329

His family history of melanoma
may have affected his cellular outlook.
330
00:17:17,850 --> 00:17:21,354
If we had more detail on the exact type
of melanoma his father had...
331
00:17:22,688 --> 00:17:26,150
Otherwise we might not be able
to find a marrow match.
332
00:17:27,860 --> 00:17:29,904
He never had melanoma.
333
00:17:30,029 --> 00:17:31,864
How did he die?
334
00:17:33,824 --> 00:17:35,201
He didn't.
335
00:17:38,496 --> 00:17:43,459
He lives in Pennsauken, under
a different name. Mitchell Gordon.
336
00:17:43,584 --> 00:17:46,003
How could you keep this from me?
From Ben?

340
00:17:55,221 --> 00:17:59,141
It's better to think
the man's dead but decent.
341
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,778
WILSON: You realize I have to invite
someone else to the Rubio fight.
342
00:18:10,903 --> 00:18:12,905
HOUSE:
Nope. No realization whatsoever.
343
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:14,949
You have a LoJack on your leg.
344
00:18:15,074 --> 00:18:16,951
I was happy watching the fight
on pay-per-view.
345
00:18:17,076 --> 00:18:19,578
You're the one who insisted
we go to Atlantic City.
346
00:18:32,550 --> 00:18:35,970
Your biological father was a decent,
God-fearing minister,
347
00:18:36,095 --> 00:18:38,848
the guy who raised you
was a cold-hearted jerk.
348
00:18:38,973 --> 00:18:40,766
I'm trying to figure out
why you're so convinced
349
00:18:40,891 --> 00:18:43,310
Adams has parentally-inflicted damage.
350
00:18:43,436 --> 00:18:46,147
- You're trying to deflect.
- Now you are.
351
00:18:46,272 --> 00:18:49,692
You have to believe that every parent
screws up every child,
352
00:18:49,817 --> 00:18:51,986
or you were screwed
out of a decent childhood.
353
00:18:52,111 --> 00:18:54,029
My decent daddy-of-the-cloth
354
00:18:54,155 --> 00:18:56,991
was also being indecent
with my married mom.
355
00:18:57,825 --> 00:19:00,870
He probably would've taken
other kids to the playground.
356
00:19:03,539 --> 00:19:06,041
Not my fault, bad parenting.
357
00:19:16,510 --> 00:19:18,554
Mitchell Gordon?
358
00:19:18,679 --> 00:19:20,514
I've already got a religion.
Go away.
359
00:19:20,639 --> 00:19:22,224
We're doctors.
360
00:19:22,349 --> 00:19:24,185
Your son Ben is in the hospital,
361
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:26,270
at Princeton-Plainsboro.
He's very sick.
362
00:19:29,774 --> 00:19:32,234
Yeah, well, I don't have a son.
Not anymore.
363
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,278
We know there are some issues there,
364
00:19:34,403 --> 00:19:36,906
but your bone marrow could cure him.
365
00:19:37,031 --> 00:19:39,575
There's a hospital 2 miles from here.
It's a simple test...
366
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:42,328
You said he was
at Princeton-Plainsboro.
367
00:19:42,453 --> 00:19:46,207
His mother feels it's better
to do the tests at a different hospital.
368
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:49,835
Like I said,
I don't have a son anymore.
369
00:19:53,714 --> 00:19:56,717
CHASE: House isn't gonna give up.
Just tell him about your parents.
370
00:19:56,842 --> 00:19:58,385
Or make up a lie.
371
00:19:58,511 --> 00:20:00,262
I don't want to lie.
372
00:20:00,387 --> 00:20:02,932
And I don't want to validate
his ridiculous theory.
373
00:20:03,057 --> 00:20:05,893
It's not ridiculous.
Even the best-intentioned parents
374
00:20:06,018 --> 00:20:07,144
end up damaging their kids.
375
00:20:07,269 --> 00:20:10,481
You're a smart, successful doctor.
376
00:20:10,606 --> 00:20:13,442
How much damage could you have?
377
00:20:15,236 --> 00:20:18,030
Know how I got interested
in medicine?
378
00:20:18,656 --> 00:20:20,533
When my mother drank,
she couldn't handle me,
379
00:20:20,658 --> 00:20:22,910
so she locked me
in my father's study.
380
00:20:23,786 --> 00:20:26,121
Only so many hours you can cry
and bang on the door
381
00:20:26,247 --> 00:20:28,958
before you give up,
find something to read.
382
00:20:29,708 --> 00:20:33,504
We all have family dysfunction.
That's why we're successful.
383
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:36,465
To fill that hole.
384
00:20:40,010 --> 00:20:42,346
My parents have a lot of money.
385
00:20:43,722 --> 00:20:46,433
But they didn't make it legally.
386
00:20:47,476 --> 00:20:49,061
White-collar crime?
387
00:20:49,186 --> 00:20:52,439
Started with card games,
high-stakes poker.
388
00:20:53,607 --> 00:20:56,235
Then my dad got into narcotics.
389
00:20:56,360 --> 00:21:00,364
At first just selling,
but then using, too.
390
00:21:01,949 --> 00:21:04,535
Or he never would've gotten
into the slave trade.
391
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:06,370
Children mostly.
392
00:21:06,495 --> 00:21:10,541
Easier to pack in small crates.
Plus the shipping's a lot cheaper...
393
00:21:13,502 --> 00:21:16,380
Won't even trust a co-worker.
394
00:21:16,505 --> 00:21:18,465
What did your parents do to you?
395
00:21:22,845 --> 00:21:24,138
You have to go see him yourself.
396
00:21:24,263 --> 00:21:27,057
He wouldn't even come to the door
a second time.
397
00:21:28,225 --> 00:21:30,269
Okay. I'll drive over there.
398

(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GROANING)
400
00:21:42,448 --> 00:21:43,449
It's a pleural effusion.
401
00:21:43,574 --> 00:21:47,119
He had a bleeding problem earlier,
must be bleeding into his lungs.
402

(GASPING FOR BREATH)
403
00:22:03,552 --> 00:22:05,971
- Except there's no blood.
- What does that mean?
404
00:22:06,096 --> 00:22:07,431
Means you don't have
to make that drive.
405
00:22:07,556 --> 00:22:10,893
The problem isn't his marrow,
it's his liver.
406
00:22:16,106 --> 00:22:18,609
Liver failure explains everything.
407
00:22:18,734 --> 00:22:21,153
Question is, what
explains the liver failure?
408
00:22:21,278 --> 00:22:23,822
It's not an infection. We tried
antibiotics, but he's not responding.
409
00:22:23,948 --> 00:22:26,575
More curiously,
what explains the mom lying
410
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:30,496
about Dad pushing up squirting daisies?
411
00:22:30,621 --> 00:22:34,208
This is how you plan
to get to that boxing game?
412
00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:38,545
- Why are you looking at her?
- Because I'm stunned.
413
00:22:38,671 --> 00:22:41,215
And I have to look at something.
414
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:46,428
Match, bout, fight,
contest, day, Helena.
415
00:22:47,346 --> 00:22:50,933
Almost anything works after boxing
except the word game.
416
00:22:51,058 --> 00:22:54,436
Your bigger problem is the people
who design those things aren't idiots.

(CHUCKLING)
418

Can you believe she
used to work in the can?
419
00:22:58,941 --> 00:23:00,150
Nothing is tamper-proof.
420
00:23:00,275 --> 00:23:03,112
It's a synthetic problem.
His liver's not synthesizing proteins,
421
00:23:03,237 --> 00:23:05,114
so fluid is leaking
out of his blood vessels.
422
00:23:05,239 --> 00:23:06,657
And Mom's a selfish jerk.
423
00:23:06,782 --> 00:23:08,617
She traded up, married a lawyer,
424
00:23:08,742 --> 00:23:10,786
wants to forget the lowly circus clown.
425
00:23:10,911 --> 00:23:13,372
You're defending the father
because you feel like a jerk
426
00:23:13,497 --> 00:23:15,416
for baking buns in two different ovens.
427
00:23:15,541 --> 00:23:17,668
You want to believe

being a man-slut... Ow!
429
00:23:21,046 --> 00:23:23,007
I don't know why I'm starting
to doubt your expertise.
430
00:23:23,132 --> 00:23:24,842
You do have a classified ad
and a piece of metal.
431
00:23:24,967 --> 00:23:27,094
It's temperature that
sets it off, not force.
432
00:23:27,219 --> 00:23:30,264
The rivets go pop,
I slide in the heating pad. Easy peasy.
433
00:23:30,389 --> 00:23:32,516
More likely the patient
has a hyperammonemic problem.
434
00:23:32,641 --> 00:23:34,018
His liver's not cleaning out his blood,
435
00:23:34,143 --> 00:23:35,728
the buildup of toxins
is causing everything.
436
00:23:35,853 --> 00:23:37,688
I'm defending the dad
because he got screwed.
437
00:23:37,813 --> 00:23:39,314
After he lost his son, he lost his job,
438

been in and out of rehab,
gave up clowning.
439

I say we tell the kid.
441
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:46,947
He's a minor, the mom's his guardian,
442
00:23:47,072 --> 00:23:48,907
and it's not even medically relevant.
443
00:23:49,033 --> 00:23:50,743
She robbed them of
12 years together.
444
00:23:50,868 --> 00:23:53,245
Or she ripped off
the Band-Aid too late.

That memory she let
Son of Bozo establish
446
00:23:56,415 --> 00:23:59,752
is making him chase
his father's moronic profession.
447

When he could be living
the high life in Portland.
448
00:24:03,964 --> 00:24:06,216

are reluctant to hire ex-cons.
452
00:24:27,529 --> 00:24:29,406
Well, what about the patient?
453
00:24:29,531 --> 00:24:31,408
Is the problem hyperammonemic
or synthetic?
454
00:24:31,533 --> 00:24:32,618
CHASE: Can't treat for both.
455
00:24:32,743 --> 00:24:35,454
One requires hemodialysis,
the other a liver transplant
456
00:24:35,579 --> 00:24:36,997
and we couldn't even get the kid
a marrow match.
457
00:24:37,122 --> 00:24:39,208
Get the mom's consent
to pump him full of protein.
458
00:24:39,333 --> 00:24:41,001
If it's a synthetic problem,
more fluid
459
00:24:41,126 --> 00:24:43,128
will leak into his chest
and his heart will fail.
460
00:24:43,253 --> 00:24:45,464
If it's hyperammonemic,
toxins will overwhelm his body
461
00:24:45,589 --> 00:24:46,840
and he'll go into a coma.

very serious risks,

we can't treat him at all.

but in case there are complications,
473
00:25:36,431 --> 00:25:39,393
might be a good time
to come clean to your son.

A little out of bounds?

I don't know the history,
but everyone makes mistakes.

00:25:47,693 --> 00:25:50,904
- Your son worships him.
- The doctor's right about that.

When he encouraged Ben
to drop out of school?

than a sperm donor would've been.

on your forthcoming divorce.
486

He keeps imagining symptoms,
487
00:26:22,269 --> 00:26:26,440
and now I have to make him
these awful anti-diabetic meals.
488
00:26:26,565 --> 00:26:28,901
Since I have no intention
of testing him, treating him,

Could you write me
a fake prescription for insulin?

00:26:36,533 --> 00:26:37,910
The advantage of fake prescriptions
492
00:26:38,035 --> 00:26:40,037
is you don't have to be a real doctor
to write one.
493
00:26:40,162 --> 00:26:42,539
Just tell me what's safe
to inject in his thigh.
494
00:26:43,582 --> 00:26:48,170
His symptoms will go away and then
I can show him he was never sick.
495
00:26:48,295 --> 00:26:51,882
- Water?
- Imaginary medicine's not my specialty.
496
00:26:52,507 --> 00:26:54,301
I do have an imaginary colleague
497
00:26:54,426 --> 00:26:56,803
who's just sent me an imaginary page.
498
00:26:56,929 --> 00:26:59,014
Imagine how sorry I am.
499
00:27:07,481 --> 00:27:09,107
Still mad about what
happened in the lab?
500
00:27:09,233 --> 00:27:11,485
I'm not mad,
I'm being professional.
501
00:27:13,278 --> 00:27:15,989
You claim you're not screwed up,
you may even believe it,

but House doesn't, and I don't.

So you can wait till he camps out
on your parents' lawn,
504

or you can admit you don't live on
some higher plane and thank me later.

go to bed early last night.

Like an idiot, I went out with
my girlfriends to pretend I have a life.

who'd have no interest in a mom,

for staying out too late.

- Yes.

too drafty at the Four Seasons.

Yes, it was nice
having my daughter in my home.

That's why I would like her sister
to live near my home.

- Swelling would have followed gravity.

myself from their lives?

00:31:13,894 --> 00:31:17,063
- You're right.
- So you'll let him go?
576
00:31:18,064 --> 00:31:22,194
No. I get why he wants to go
to that fight. I'd love to go myself.

I have to stop him.

that I have authority over him.

He can't function
under someone's thumb.

00:31:31,453 --> 00:31:34,456
I know. Which means
you can't go either.

Your job is to be his friend.

00:31:40,504 --> 00:31:43,048

No lawyers. Phil had something
that he would like to say.

should say it in person.

like this without your support.

me by playing good cop/good cop?

00:37:13,628 --> 00:37:15,755
He seemed happy,
and he seemed normal.
676
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,423
So you made Daddy go away,
and you made sure
677
00:37:17,549 --> 00:37:20,134
Junior had no reason to go looking.
678
00:37:21,219 --> 00:37:23,304
I was just trying to protect him,
679
00:37:24,514 --> 00:37:27,517
like I should have done
from the start.
680
00:37:28,768 --> 00:37:31,646
(SOBS)
I'm sorry.
681
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:38,444
HOUSE: IV penicillin
and anti-TNF antibodies, he'll be fine.
682
00:37:38,570 --> 00:37:41,865
Apart from the whole daddy-rape thing.
683
00:37:49,372 --> 00:37:51,124
We're not done.
684
00:37:51,249 --> 00:37:52,876
No, we are not.
685
00:37:53,001 --> 00:37:56,254
Notify the dad's sexual partners,
notify his employer,
686
00:37:56,379 --> 00:37:58,381
his landlord, notify the police.
687
00:37:58,506 --> 00:38:01,926
I meant the kid. We're not gonna
tell him he was molested?
688
00:38:02,051 --> 00:38:04,554
To make him miserable,
or to forfeit your license?
689
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:06,723
To tell him the truth.
690
00:38:06,848 --> 00:38:09,309
He's a virgin,
how do I explain the STD?
691
00:38:09,434 --> 00:38:12,103
It's a medical diagnosis. Screw
the parents, the kid's our patient.
692
00:38:12,228 --> 00:38:16,232
I guess Taub's got a tough choice
to make when the kid wakes up.
693
00:38:16,357 --> 00:38:19,027
- Why is it my choice?
- Because you're a dad.
694
00:38:19,152 --> 00:38:21,988
How could the rest of us
possibly understand?
695
00:38:31,664 --> 00:38:33,875
What was wrong with me?
696
00:38:36,628 --> 00:38:38,630
It's called syphilis.
697
00:38:39,547 --> 00:38:40,924
Uh...
698
00:38:41,799 --> 00:38:44,552
You can get that without having sex?
699
00:38:57,273 --> 00:38:59,275
I didn't tell him.
700
00:39:01,819 --> 00:39:03,446
Your heart said he needed to know,
701
00:39:03,571 --> 00:39:07,116
your brain knew he's
better off without it.
702
00:39:08,618 --> 00:39:11,955
Following your heart is easy.
Following your brain is tough.
703
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,209
Especially after years of following
that much smaller, third organ.
704
00:39:17,710 --> 00:39:21,589
That's why all parents
screw up all children.
705
00:39:29,722 --> 00:39:31,516
Evening.
706
00:39:36,145 --> 00:39:40,024
Clever tactic, pretending
you're not interested anymore.
707
00:39:41,526 --> 00:39:44,404
How could that possibly work
as a tactic?
708
00:39:45,238 --> 00:39:46,864
The fact is,
once I saw those incompletes
709
00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:49,075
I knew your parents screwed you up.
710
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,411
The details are just gravy.
711
00:39:53,162 --> 00:39:55,331
You're wrong.
712
00:39:55,456 --> 00:39:59,210
The only evidence you have
is proof of something else.
713
00:40:01,004 --> 00:40:02,964
I ran away from home.
714
00:40:05,717 --> 00:40:08,594
Because you had lousy parents.
715
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,638
Because I didn't.
716
00:40:12,223 --> 00:40:17,270
All my friends' parents were divorced,
or having affairs,
717
00:40:17,395 --> 00:40:20,273
or barely knew their kids' birthdays.
718
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:24,444
You envied their dysfunction?
719
00:40:26,529 --> 00:40:30,158
I thought it made
them deeper somehow.
720
00:40:34,662 --> 00:40:36,539
It was stupid.
721
00:40:36,664 --> 00:40:40,626
I hitchhiked to Manhattan,
moved in with an older guy.
722
00:40:40,752 --> 00:40:43,463
In two months I came running home.
723
00:40:43,588 --> 00:40:46,299
Took my parents years to get over it.
724
00:40:48,009 --> 00:40:52,472
That's when you started to excel.
You were making it up to them.
725
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,186
Your parents screwed you up
by not screwing you up.
726
00:40:58,311 --> 00:41:01,481
How does briefly wishing I was
screwed up make me screwed up?
727
00:41:03,441 --> 00:41:07,820
It's normal to be screwed up. It's
really screwed up to romanticize it.
728
00:41:08,946 --> 00:41:11,574
Guess that's why you wanted
to work with prisoners.
729
00:41:13,034 --> 00:41:15,578
It's why I wanted to work with you.
730
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:23,377
It was a tactic.
731
00:41:40,895 --> 00:41:42,438
- Chris.
- Yeah.
732
00:41:42,563 --> 00:41:45,358
I need to talk to you and Phil.
733
00:41:47,652 --> 00:41:49,570
Is everything okay?
734
00:41:51,072 --> 00:41:52,073
Yeah.
735
00:42:02,792 --> 00:42:05,336
I can't let you move.
736
00:42:05,461 --> 00:42:07,171
You drove all the way out here just
737
00:42:07,296 --> 00:42:10,258
to tell us what you already told us?
738
00:42:10,383 --> 00:42:12,426
I'm sorry.
739
00:42:21,269 --> 00:42:22,395
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
740
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,190
WILSON: House, open up.
I don't want to miss the opening bell.
741
00:42:29,735 --> 00:42:31,154
House?
742
00:42:41,789 --> 00:42:45,084
ANNOUNCER: ...telecast, and we expect
an electric atmosphere in the arena
743
00:42:45,209 --> 00:42:49,046
and a sell-out crowd of about 10,000
for Rubio vs. Santos.
744
00:42:49,172 --> 00:42:51,257
Two great fighters
with illustrious careers
745
00:42:51,382 --> 00:42:53,634
might have been expected to meet
a long time ago.
746
00:42:53,759 --> 00:42:55,928
As for Santos, his handlers tell us
747
00:42:56,053 --> 00:42:58,639
that he's done more roadwork
than at any time in his career,
748
00:42:58,764 --> 00:43:01,976
hoping to prove tonight
that he can box for 12 full rounds.
749
00:43:02,101 --> 00:43:04,520
Significant,
because Santos hasn't heard
750
00:43:04,645 --> 00:43:07,356
the final bell
in more than six years.
751
00:43:07,481 --> 00:43:09,483
He comes in
with 11 straight knockout wins.
752
00:43:09,609 --> 00:43:12,445
He saw how a power-puncher
with a left hook
753
00:43:12,570 --> 00:43:14,697
was able to cut Rubio
over the right eye
754
00:43:14,822 --> 00:43:17,074
in the 10th round
of that last fight.
