1
00:00:04,651 --> 00:00:08,780
We're in the car, honey.
We're going to the hospital for tests.
2
00:00:16,413 --> 00:00:20,250
We're in the hospital.
We're going to the doctor's office.
3
00:00:26,882 --> 00:00:28,467
Can you tell me
what this is called?
4
00:00:31,094 --> 00:00:33,472
You use it
to get food from inside.
5
00:00:33,597 --> 00:00:35,223
Yes, but
what's it called?
6
00:00:36,892 --> 00:00:38,435
Is it a spatula?
7
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,853
No.
8
00:00:39,978 --> 00:00:41,772
- Good.
- Is it a can opener?
9
00:00:41,897 --> 00:00:46,193
No. It's... It's...
10
00:00:48,862 --> 00:00:50,739
You're trying to
make me look stupid.
11
00:00:51,907 --> 00:00:54,993
You can go to hell!
Why don't you kill yourself?
12
00:00:55,118 --> 00:00:56,662
Andres.
13
00:00:58,330 --> 00:00:59,915
It's okay.
14
00:01:02,501 --> 00:01:03,877
(CHUCKLES)
15
00:01:04,336 --> 00:01:05,921
There she is.
16
00:01:06,421 --> 00:01:07,964
Here I am.
17
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:09,216
Here. Come on.
18
00:01:14,262 --> 00:01:16,515
You just need to answer
a few more questions,
19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,517
then we're going home.
We'll have lunch, okay?
20
00:01:19,142 --> 00:01:20,352
Okay-
21
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:24,940
I'm sorry.
22
00:01:26,942 --> 00:01:28,944
I have Alzheimer's.
23
00:01:29,277 --> 00:01:30,946
I know.
24
00:01:31,363 --> 00:01:36,034
The mood swings
come on quickly, but it's under control.
25
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:39,496
Don't worry. He's actually perfect
for the drug trial.
26
00:01:40,539 --> 00:01:41,957
Oh. (SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
27
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:44,376
Thank God.
28
00:01:44,501 --> 00:01:46,336
We can start as
soon as next week.
29
00:01:46,712 --> 00:01:47,963
(COUGHING)
30
00:01:50,257 --> 00:01:52,968
Andres! Oh, my God!
31
00:01:54,886 --> 00:01:56,179
Andres?
32
00:02:31,131 --> 00:02:31,172
FOREMAN: Early onset
familial Alzheimer's. Brazilian descent.
33
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:34,217
FOREMAN: Early onset
familial Alzheimer's. Brazilian descent.
34
00:02:34,342 --> 00:02:36,011
Blood chemistries
showed high ammonia.
35
00:02:36,344 --> 00:02:39,347
Vomiting stopped
after the ER put him on antiemetics.
36
00:02:39,473 --> 00:02:41,183
Any recent
health issues?
37
00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:43,977
Just a sore throat
a few weeks ago.
38
00:02:44,102 --> 00:02:46,646
How advanced is he?
Could be hyperalimentation.
39
00:02:46,772 --> 00:02:48,815
Advanced enough,
but no IV feedings.
40
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:50,942
The wife shut down
her floral company to stay home
41
00:02:51,067 --> 00:02:53,361
and feed him every meal he's had
in the last four years.
42
00:02:53,487 --> 00:02:55,280
Do we owe this case
to your guilt
43
00:02:55,405 --> 00:02:57,449
at having ignored
your own forgetful mommy?
44
00:02:57,574 --> 00:02:59,701
My guilt over my mom
is why I put up with my dad.
45
00:02:59,826 --> 00:03:00,911
You're taking this case
46
00:03:01,036 --> 00:03:03,038
because we're running a Phase Two
trial on an Alzheimer's drug.
47
00:03:03,163 --> 00:03:05,916
You couldn't round up enough
doddering, old guinea pigs,
48
00:03:06,041 --> 00:03:07,876
so you need us to
fix this little piggy?
49
00:03:08,001 --> 00:03:11,087
I'd like to sit in. Especially since
you're short a team member.
50
00:03:11,213 --> 00:03:12,923
You mean Taub?
Got him in here.
51
00:03:13,048 --> 00:03:15,008
He asked for personal days.
His daughter's sick.
52
00:03:15,133 --> 00:03:17,594
Isn't that the point
of having a spare?
53
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:18,970
I denied his request.
54
00:03:19,095 --> 00:03:20,806
After I'd already
approved it,
55
00:03:20,931 --> 00:03:22,307
which you knew because
I sent you a memo.
56
00:03:24,184 --> 00:03:28,939
Dr. Adams,
taped under your chair is an index card.
57
00:03:29,064 --> 00:03:30,232
Would you read it,
please?
58
00:03:39,115 --> 00:03:41,409
"Wednesday, 2:43 p.m.

he's the black king

"and attempt to capture

00:03:51,419 --> 00:03:53,380
It's 10:15 on Friday.
62
00:03:53,505 --> 00:03:56,967
Damn it. (SIGHS)
Look, the point is, I saw this coming.
63
00:03:57,551 --> 00:03:59,970
Dr. Foreman and I
did not always see eye to eye,
64
00:04:00,095 --> 00:04:01,972
but he never had
the power to overrule me.
65
00:04:02,097 --> 00:04:03,181
Now that
he has the power,
66
00:04:03,306 --> 00:04:05,600
he won't be able to resist
the temptation to use it.
67
00:04:05,725 --> 00:04:08,603
With great power
comes great micromanaging.
68
00:04:08,728 --> 00:04:09,980
And great vests.
69
00:04:10,105 --> 00:04:12,649
I know you're
the better diagnostician.
70
00:04:12,774 --> 00:04:14,734
I'm not gonna interfere.
I'm only here to help.
71
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:17,487
Could be
transient nitrogen load from a GI bleed.
72
00:04:17,612 --> 00:04:18,989
Not if the vomiting's
persistent.
73
00:04:19,114 --> 00:04:22,492
Which we won't know,
because the ER put him on antiemetics.
74
00:04:22,617 --> 00:04:23,577
Take him off.
75
00:04:23,702 --> 00:04:24,995
Wait. He was
puking his guts out.
76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080
We'd risk aspiration.
77
00:04:29,165 --> 00:04:31,126
I'm just disagreeing,
not overruling.
78
00:04:31,793 --> 00:04:35,255
So glad you're on board.
Take him off antiemetics.
79
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:37,257
Do an upper endoscopy
to check for bleeds.
80
00:04:43,638 --> 00:04:45,473
It could be
a bladder infection.
81
00:04:45,599 --> 00:04:46,850
We'll run
a pregnancy test.
82
00:04:46,975 --> 00:04:48,018
I'm not pregnant.
83
00:04:48,143 --> 00:04:50,520
Any type of birth control
can fail.
84
00:04:50,645 --> 00:04:52,022
Not mine.
85
00:04:54,566 --> 00:04:57,110
Oh, I'm sorry. You said
you were married?
86
00:04:57,235 --> 00:04:58,403
Yeah. Happily-
87
00:04:59,237 --> 00:05:04,117
It's okay. Sex can wane
in any marriage over time.
88
00:05:04,367 --> 00:05:06,286
No, no.
We've never had sex.
89
00:05:07,787 --> 00:05:11,833
We kiss and cuddle, but neither
one of us is interested in sex.
90
00:05:13,835 --> 00:05:16,087
You're both celibate?
91
00:05:16,212 --> 00:05:18,173
No, neither of us.
92
00:05:18,298 --> 00:05:21,509
Celibacy is a choice.
This is our orientation.
93
00:05:23,053 --> 00:05:24,137
We're asexual.
94
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:30,810
Not quite sure what box
to check here.
95
00:05:30,936 --> 00:05:32,062
CHASE:
You're making a mistake.
96
00:05:32,187 --> 00:05:33,897
If I had the power
to veto him,
97
00:05:34,022 --> 00:05:36,066
given all the crap
I've put up with over the years,
98
00:05:36,191 --> 00:05:37,609
I don't know if
I could use it objectively.
99
00:05:37,734 --> 00:05:38,777
I do.
100
00:05:38,902 --> 00:05:40,236
I can. I have.
101
00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:44,032
It might be easier
if you'd stay out of the room.
102
00:05:44,157 --> 00:05:47,285
I thought
it'd be different. This week.
103
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:51,081
I'm supposed to talk to his PO about
getting his ankle monitor off early.
104
00:05:51,206 --> 00:05:52,624
You're saying
he should defer to you?
105
00:05:52,749 --> 00:05:55,752
No. I'm just saying
what he's doing doesn't seem rational,
106
00:05:55,877 --> 00:05:59,172
which makes me think
it's rational in a way I'm not privy to.
107
00:05:59,297 --> 00:06:01,091
He always has a plan.
108
00:06:01,216 --> 00:06:03,093
And he's always
self-destructive.
109
00:06:03,218 --> 00:06:06,304
He may just be
shooting himself in the ankle.
110
00:06:13,228 --> 00:06:17,107
I know it feels strange. Dr. Chase
is just looking in your throat.
111
00:06:17,232 --> 00:06:19,651
We're in the hospital.
You're fine.
112
00:06:21,111 --> 00:06:22,946
That's a pretty nice
trophy there, Andres.

He coached youth soccer.
114
00:06:24,531 --> 00:06:26,116
Took a team that
was zero-and-six

00:06:26,241 --> 00:06:28,493
all the way
to the state finals at Long Branch.

Hey, thanks for
doing this in here.
117
00:06:36,251 --> 00:06:38,461
Switching rooms can
be very disorienting.
118
00:06:38,586 --> 00:06:40,005
You take very
good care of him.
119
00:06:40,547 --> 00:06:43,174
I love him.

I'm sorry,

124
00:06:54,477 --> 00:06:56,021
I'll wait outside.
125

Oh, no, please,
it's okay.
126
00:06:58,690 --> 00:07:02,277
Joseph helps me
with my husband sometimes.
127
00:07:03,361 --> 00:07:04,446
He's a good friend.
128
00:07:04,571 --> 00:07:07,282
Which means not family.
129
00:07:07,824 --> 00:07:09,159
Wait, we're gonna
be here a while.
130
00:07:09,284 --> 00:07:12,412
Why don't you show Joseph
where the visitor's lounge is?
131
00:07:12,537 --> 00:07:13,830
Okay-
132
00:07:19,419 --> 00:07:20,545
What?
133
00:07:21,296 --> 00:07:23,423
I'm surprised
you didn't go into the diplomatic corps.
134
00:07:23,548 --> 00:07:25,800
Oh, you think they're...
135
00:07:27,927 --> 00:07:28,970
No.
If they're having sex,
136
00:07:29,095 --> 00:07:30,638
it's probably
with their genitals.
137
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:36,436
Mallory-Weiss tear.
Vomiting must have torn the lining.
138
00:07:39,939 --> 00:07:43,234
You know that close to 1% of the
population identifies as asexual?
139
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,198
We really got to
get you laid.
140
00:07:48,323 --> 00:07:51,076
If I have to plow
that furrow myself, so be it.
141
00:07:51,201 --> 00:07:53,244
I've a patient
who's asexual.
142
00:07:53,369 --> 00:07:55,622
Is she a giant pool
of algae?
143
00:07:55,747 --> 00:07:57,957
It's a valid
sexual orientation,
144
00:07:58,083 --> 00:07:59,459
according to this article,
at least.
145
00:07:59,834 --> 00:08:02,962
Yeah, I think I read that, too.
Is that Fugliness Weekly?
146
00:08:03,088 --> 00:08:04,756
She's perfectly
fine-looking.

for 10 years.

To a guy who
loves penis enough for both of them.
149
00:08:09,344 --> 00:08:10,345
He's asexual, too.
150
00:08:11,471 --> 00:08:12,931

physical on her.

Hundred bucks says
I can find a medical reason
153
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:22,232
why she doesn't want
to have sex.
154
00:08:22,357 --> 00:08:23,733
You're out of your mind
if you think
155
00:08:23,858 --> 00:08:25,485
I'm letting you anywhere
near my patient.
156
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:27,112
Fine, I won't go near her.
157
00:08:27,237 --> 00:08:30,990
Just give me her file and any blood
samples you have left over.
158
00:08:33,827 --> 00:08:37,622
No contact whatsoever.
You talk to her, the bet is void.
159
00:08:37,747 --> 00:08:41,376
No contact. Plays to
my strengths, anyway.

a good time, House.

Not for the Dean
of Medicine,

but it's the perfect time
if you're a member of my team.
164
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:56,307
Which one are you?
165
00:08:57,392 --> 00:08:59,394
What did
the endoscopy show?
166
00:09:00,186 --> 00:09:02,063
No signs of
ulcers or blockages.

(BEEPING)
168
00:09:06,484 --> 00:09:09,279
But you found a tear
just below the esophagus.
169
00:09:09,404 --> 00:09:10,280
Explains the bleeding.
170
00:09:10,405 --> 00:09:13,283
Doesn't explain why he vomited
so hard he ripped his insides.
171
00:09:13,408 --> 00:09:16,077
His liver enzymes are slightly elevated.
Gallstones could...
172
00:09:16,202 --> 00:09:17,328
No complaints of pain.

Steatohepatitis
would make his AST and ATL levels rise.
174
00:09:22,292 --> 00:09:23,877
Are you calling
his liver fat?
175
00:09:25,336 --> 00:09:26,462
Start the patient
on statins,
176
00:09:26,588 --> 00:09:27,964
do a biopsy
to confirm.
177
00:09:28,089 --> 00:09:29,924
And knock him out,
I've heard he's a wiggler.
178
00:09:30,049 --> 00:09:31,134
There's no need
to put him under.
179
00:09:31,259 --> 00:09:34,429
We can confirm fatty liver
with an ultrasound.
180
00:09:35,138 --> 00:09:37,432
Just making
an observation.
181
00:09:37,932 --> 00:09:40,977
Well done. And now,
as a member of my team,
182
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:44,147
you can make the equally useful
observations that the sky is blue,
183
00:09:44,272 --> 00:09:47,609
I'm wearing pants,
and I'm ignoring your first observation.
184
00:09:48,067 --> 00:09:49,152
Of course.
185
00:09:54,908 --> 00:09:55,867
Wait.
186
00:09:55,992 --> 00:09:57,452
And there it is.
187
00:09:57,827 --> 00:09:59,495
You're trying to screw
with my confidence.
188
00:09:59,621 --> 00:10:00,622
Well, if I wanted
to do that,
189
00:10:00,747 --> 00:10:02,332
I'd tell you how much
the nurses hate you.
190
00:10:02,457 --> 00:10:05,168
You're trying to get me
to define myself as a subordinate
191
00:10:05,293 --> 00:10:07,128
to keep me from
ever intervening,
192
00:10:07,253 --> 00:10:09,339
even if it's fully
in the scope of my duties.
193
00:10:09,464 --> 00:10:11,799
Like now. This isn't
about diagnostics,
194
00:10:11,925 --> 00:10:13,259
it's about what's safe
for the patient.
195
00:10:13,635 --> 00:10:14,886
Do the ultrasound.
196
00:10:16,054 --> 00:10:17,764
Ultrasound it is.
197
00:10:18,514 --> 00:10:19,974
And the nurses
love you.
198
00:10:24,729 --> 00:10:27,065
You don't think I knew
House was gonna tell you to ignore me
199
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:28,566
and not do
the ultrasound?
200
00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:30,360
This is an
ultrasound machine.
201
00:10:30,485 --> 00:10:33,363
Which you're gonna use to do
an ultrasound-guided biopsy.
202
00:10:33,863 --> 00:10:36,699
You've probably got
a kit stashed here...
203
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:50,004
"Cuddy Dark will waste his afternoon
chasing conspiracy theories."
204
00:10:50,129 --> 00:10:52,006
You're letting him
get inside your head.
205
00:10:52,131 --> 00:10:53,967
He can do a lot
of damage in there.
206
00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:59,013
Dr. Chase,
he started vomiting again.
207
00:11:01,599 --> 00:11:03,935
This is why we stopped
the antiemetics.
208
00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:05,561
We needed to see if
it was still a symptom.
209
00:11:05,687 --> 00:11:06,896
Okay-
210
00:11:07,814 --> 00:11:09,399
Here. You want this?
211
00:11:09,524 --> 00:11:12,527
Get your hands off me.
You're taking my head!
212
00:11:13,611 --> 00:11:16,906
It's okay, Andres.
You're in the hospital.
213
00:11:19,742 --> 00:11:20,868
(GRUNTING)
214
00:11:22,537 --> 00:11:23,413
(GLASS SHATTERING)
215
00:11:23,538 --> 00:11:24,914
10 milligrams
of diazepam.
216
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:26,416
Already on it.
217
00:11:26,541 --> 00:11:28,251
- Hey!
- NATALIE: I'm fine. I'm fine.
218
00:11:32,213 --> 00:11:33,548
(PANTING)
219
00:11:34,382 --> 00:11:35,800
Foreman.
220
00:11:35,925 --> 00:11:37,552
FOREMAN:
Blood in his urine.
221
00:11:43,558 --> 00:11:46,352
JESSICA: We resumed the antiemetics
and increased his sedation.
222
00:11:46,477 --> 00:11:47,478
He really
went after her.
223
00:11:47,603 --> 00:11:49,605
Maybe he found out
about her "good friend."
224
00:11:49,731 --> 00:11:52,442
It was just paranoid rage.
Typical of Alzheimer's.
225
00:11:52,567 --> 00:11:53,860
We don't even know
if they were sleeping together.
226
00:11:53,985 --> 00:11:56,070
A few hours ago,
you were sure.
227
00:11:56,195 --> 00:11:58,448
And that's
significant why?
228
00:11:58,573 --> 00:12:01,075
Sorry, only the bleeding's
medically relevant.
229
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,452
No, I wasn't
being rhetorical.
230
00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:06,581
If they are
sleeping together, why do we disapprove?
231
00:12:07,582 --> 00:12:09,459
You're pro infidelity?
232
00:12:09,584 --> 00:12:10,585
She's not married.
233
00:12:12,587 --> 00:12:14,630
If marriage is feeding
and cleaning someone
234
00:12:14,756 --> 00:12:18,343
and limiting conversation
to repeating a few simple commands,
235
00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:20,094
then I was married
to my pet rat.
236
00:12:20,219 --> 00:12:22,597
And a lot of people
owe me wedding gifts.
237
00:12:22,722 --> 00:12:24,599
And we're walking,
we're walking.
238
00:12:24,724 --> 00:12:28,269
I don't care how sick
your spouse gets, you don't jump ship.
239
00:12:28,394 --> 00:12:31,356
Alzheimer's is different. She can't
share her problems with him,
240
00:12:31,481 --> 00:12:33,691
or plan for the future.
The man she married no longer exists.
241
00:12:33,816 --> 00:12:35,360
Yes, he does.
He's in there.
242
00:12:35,485 --> 00:12:37,487
This is why
you get married.
243
00:12:37,612 --> 00:12:40,281
Said the divorced woman
to the divorced man.
244
00:12:40,406 --> 00:12:44,494
I didn't jump ship. My husband
sank it when he cheated on me.
245
00:12:44,619 --> 00:12:46,287
Commitment's
not conditional.
246
00:12:46,412 --> 00:12:49,207
She is there for him
in the only way that matters now.
247
00:12:49,332 --> 00:12:50,500
She gave up her life
to take care of him.
248
00:12:50,625 --> 00:12:51,709
Proves she's an idiot.
249
00:12:51,834 --> 00:12:54,087
If she had any sense,
she'd have stuck him in a facility
250
00:12:54,212 --> 00:12:55,505
and jumped
on that strange...
251
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:58,341
Dr. Foreman.
We were just looking for you.
252
00:12:58,466 --> 00:13:00,343
I was right about
the antiemetics.
253
00:13:00,468 --> 00:13:01,594
If we kept him on them
like I said,
254
00:13:01,719 --> 00:13:03,638
he wouldn't have
gotten agitated and punched his wife.
255
00:13:03,763 --> 00:13:06,432
Yes, we're back
to my supposed diabolical plan
256
00:13:06,557 --> 00:13:08,309
to shake
your confidence.
257
00:13:08,434 --> 00:13:10,520
Let's see if this helps.
258
00:13:10,645 --> 00:13:12,939
If you're speaking
as a team member,
259
00:13:13,064 --> 00:13:14,482
then I'd say
you're a moron.
260
00:13:14,607 --> 00:13:16,192
'Cause taking him
off the antiemetics
261
00:13:16,317 --> 00:13:18,152
gave us crucial
diagnostic information.
262
00:13:18,277 --> 00:13:21,531
If you're speaking as Dean of Medicine,
then I'd say you're a moron.
263
00:13:21,656 --> 00:13:24,242
'Cause your micromanaging
kept us from doing a biopsy.
264
00:13:24,367 --> 00:13:26,828
And if we had, the patient would've
been anesthetized hours ago
265
00:13:26,953 --> 00:13:29,539
thus unable to go
all Chris Brown on her ass.
266
00:13:29,664 --> 00:13:32,542
Unless one of
your index cards actually predicted
267
00:13:32,667 --> 00:13:33,835
the guy was
gonna punch his wife,
268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,046
everything you're saying is
post hoc rationalization.
269
00:13:37,171 --> 00:13:40,675
Dr. Park,
would you please reach under that chair?
270
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:46,013
"The patient will
punch his wife."
271
00:13:47,807 --> 00:13:49,684
You clearly wrote that
after the fact.
272
00:13:50,977 --> 00:13:54,313
Dr. Adams,
would you please reach into my pants?
273
00:14:00,695 --> 00:14:03,573
"Dr. Blackenshmurtz
will accuse me
274
00:14:03,698 --> 00:14:06,534
"of writing
about the punch after the fact."
275
00:14:06,659 --> 00:14:08,411
And look,
there's a photograph of me
276
00:14:08,536 --> 00:14:11,581
holding a newspaper
dated last Tuesday.
277
00:14:11,706 --> 00:14:13,082
How could I have
gotten my hands on that?
278
00:14:13,291 --> 00:14:16,586
You done?
Rhabdomyolysis fits the vomiting,
279
00:14:16,711 --> 00:14:18,087
pigmenturia
and renal failure.
280
00:14:18,212 --> 00:14:20,423
No muscle symptoms
and urine had no myoglobin.
281
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,467
TTP fits, though.
282
00:14:23,092 --> 00:14:26,512
Start him on plasmapheresis.
Unless...
283
00:14:28,681 --> 00:14:30,725
Unless I need to say,
"Mother, may I?"
284
00:14:31,851 --> 00:14:33,227
And "mother's"
an abbreviation.
285
00:14:37,732 --> 00:14:40,193
CHASE: Fresh plasma will
replace the damaged red blood cells
286
00:14:40,318 --> 00:14:41,360
that are clogging
his kidneys.
287
00:14:41,486 --> 00:14:42,528
That sounds hopeful.
288
00:14:44,113 --> 00:14:45,948
How's that feeling?
289
00:14:46,073 --> 00:14:48,409
I've never been hit in the eye before.
(LAUGHS)
290
00:14:49,827 --> 00:14:52,288
I feel kind of badass.
291
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:56,584
I think maybe
you should go.
292
00:14:56,709 --> 00:14:58,753
Look, I'm fine, okay?
293
00:14:59,504 --> 00:15:00,630
I'll see you tomorrow?
294
00:15:00,755 --> 00:15:01,756
Okay-
295
00:15:06,427 --> 00:15:07,637
We're not
having an affair.
296
00:15:07,762 --> 00:15:08,804
It's none
of my business.
297
00:15:08,930 --> 00:15:12,058
I mean, not really.
298
00:15:12,808 --> 00:15:17,063
'Cause nothing's happened,
but we've talked about it a lot and...
299
00:15:18,773 --> 00:15:22,652
It's just really hard
doing this by myself.
300
00:15:24,028 --> 00:15:26,113
When's the last time
you had a full night's sleep?
301
00:15:28,241 --> 00:15:29,367
Um...
302
00:15:29,784 --> 00:15:32,495
I don't know.
Three years?
303
00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:35,540
You're not gonna
get any rest here.
304
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:39,210
People who are sick
are not the only ones
305
00:15:39,335 --> 00:15:41,254
who need to
be taken care of.
306
00:15:48,803 --> 00:15:51,722
CHI: Why doesn't Chase
have to be here?
307
00:15:51,847 --> 00:15:54,850
You think he knows anything about women
who don't want to have sex?
308
00:15:56,727 --> 00:16:00,273
Hormone levels are normal.
This woman seems perfectly healthy.
309
00:16:00,398 --> 00:16:02,066
What does it matter
if she says she's asexual?
310
00:16:02,191 --> 00:16:05,152
It's the fundamental
drive of our species. Sex is healthy.
311
00:16:05,278 --> 00:16:06,862
Orgasms
oxygenate the brain,
312
00:16:06,988 --> 00:16:08,698
lighting up over
30 different areas
313
00:16:08,823 --> 00:16:11,367
and making us
forget how boring Susie Cooper is.
314
00:16:13,411 --> 00:16:14,996
That last one may
not be universal.
315
00:16:15,121 --> 00:16:16,831
How about damage
to her spinal cord,
316
00:16:16,956 --> 00:16:18,708
blocking the signals
from her genitals?
317
00:16:18,833 --> 00:16:20,501
Sex drive is
in the brain.
318
00:16:20,626 --> 00:16:23,671
I suppose it could
be psychological intimacy issues
319
00:16:23,796 --> 00:16:25,006
caused by
childhood abuse.
320
00:16:25,131 --> 00:16:27,717
She's been sharing a toilet
with the same guy for the last 10 years.
321
00:16:27,842 --> 00:16:28,843
It's not the same.
322
00:16:28,968 --> 00:16:32,305
Sex releases oxytocin, it's the
neurochemical basis for bonding.
323
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:34,724
And that's why
men always marry their right hands.
324
00:16:34,849 --> 00:16:35,725
It's different for girls.
325
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:37,935
No, it's not.
I've tapped over 30 guys
326
00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:39,812
and never wanted to
see most of them again.
327
00:16:42,732 --> 00:16:44,191
I lived next
to a Jewish frat.
328
00:16:44,859 --> 00:16:48,154
We are veering wildly off track.
Please continue.
329
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,157
This woman's life
is probably better off without sex.
330
00:16:51,866 --> 00:16:53,534
Eliminates most of
her insecurities,
331
00:16:53,659 --> 00:16:54,827
she's immune to
most advertising,
332
00:16:54,952 --> 00:16:57,872
and can have honest
relationships with men.
333
00:16:57,997 --> 00:16:59,957
(LAUGHS)
Not a lot of them.
334
00:17:00,082 --> 00:17:02,752
We've run every test
and ruled out all the options.
335
00:17:02,877 --> 00:17:05,254
You're gonna have to accept
she just doesn't want sex.
336
00:17:05,379 --> 00:17:06,756
Lots of people
don't have sex.
337
00:17:06,881 --> 00:17:08,132
The only people
who don't want it
338
00:17:08,257 --> 00:17:09,759
are either sick,
dead or lying.
339
00:17:09,884 --> 00:17:11,218
So maybe she's lying.
340
00:17:11,344 --> 00:17:13,054
You think she's had
a boyfriend on the side?
341
00:17:13,179 --> 00:17:14,263
For 10 years?
342
00:17:14,388 --> 00:17:17,642

It doesn't make sense.
343
00:17:19,018 --> 00:17:20,895

344
00:17:27,860 --> 00:17:28,903

345
00:17:29,904 --> 00:17:30,905

346
00:17:34,659 --> 00:17:36,911
Higher or lower?
347
00:17:41,332 --> 00:17:43,793
Followed your advice
and took the night off.
348
00:17:43,918 --> 00:17:45,211

done you some good.
349
00:17:45,336 --> 00:17:46,754
Mmm-hmm.
350
00:17:52,259 --> 00:17:54,220
Where's my husband?
351
00:17:56,597 --> 00:17:57,723
He's not in the hospital.
352
00:17:57,848 --> 00:17:58,808
So he just walked out?
353
00:17:58,933 --> 00:18:01,477
All of the shift nurses
had their hands full with a double code.
354
00:18:01,602 --> 00:18:03,229
HOUSE: Perfectly
reasonable explanation.
355
00:18:03,354 --> 00:18:05,898
Same thing happened to me.
Couldn't find my keys for days.
356
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,193
The police have been notified,
I have staff searching.
357
00:18:09,318 --> 00:18:11,612
You told me
it was okay to leave.
358
00:18:12,363 --> 00:18:13,489
I'm sorry.
359
00:18:13,614 --> 00:18:16,826
He has Alzheimer's!
It's freezing outside!
360
00:18:16,951 --> 00:18:18,494
And he's sick!
361
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:20,830
I mean, you don't even know
what it is yet, do you?
362
00:18:20,955 --> 00:18:22,832
The plasmapheresis
hasn't had time to work,
363
00:18:22,957 --> 00:18:24,417
but TTP is
our most likely...
364
00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:25,960
Okay, I have to
go look for him.
365
00:18:27,336 --> 00:18:30,506
Hey. Don't be an ass.
Can't you see she's upset?
366
00:18:30,631 --> 00:18:32,550
No, she's guilty.
367
00:18:33,342 --> 00:18:37,513
Instead of being at her husband's side,
she was under you.
368
00:18:37,638 --> 00:18:39,098
Okay. That's...
369
00:18:39,223 --> 00:18:41,976
Yeah, he already
said I was an ass.
370
00:18:42,977 --> 00:18:45,563
Personally, I applaud your decision
to step down off your cross
371
00:18:45,688 --> 00:18:47,857
and get on with your life,
but your misplaced guilt
372
00:18:47,982 --> 00:18:49,150
is shutting down
your brain.

patient wakes up,
375
00:19:03,998 --> 00:19:06,876
and the first thing
he sees...
376
00:19:07,001 --> 00:19:10,796
In moments of confusion, Alzheimer's
patients regress to old routines.
377
00:19:10,921 --> 00:19:13,090
HOUSE: So what would
your husband do on a Saturday morning?
378
00:19:13,591 --> 00:19:15,968
Nothing. Be at home.
379
00:19:16,093 --> 00:19:18,471
What about a year ago,
five years, or 10?
380
00:19:19,388 --> 00:19:20,723
I don't know.
381
00:19:21,724 --> 00:19:23,100
He trained for
a marathon once.
382
00:19:23,225 --> 00:19:26,020
Soccer practice.
We took a cooking class.
383
00:19:27,688 --> 00:19:30,941
The soccer trophy you were
telling me about, it's gone.
384
00:19:31,066 --> 00:19:32,151
Where was practice?
385
00:19:32,276 --> 00:19:35,029
It was close to here,
on Chesterfield.
386
00:19:49,710 --> 00:19:52,254
Okay, he comes,
he thinks he's waiting for practice.
387
00:19:52,379 --> 00:19:54,548
He'd want to get out
of the wind,
388
00:19:54,673 --> 00:19:57,051
but somewhere
he could see the kids arrive.
389
00:19:58,052 --> 00:19:59,637
There.
390
00:20:02,056 --> 00:20:03,724
Over here!
391
00:20:13,067 --> 00:20:14,735
On three.
One, two, three.
392
00:20:19,281 --> 00:20:20,282
Nothing.
393
00:20:20,407 --> 00:20:22,326
Not dead till
he's warm and dead.
394
00:20:30,501 --> 00:20:31,836
Get him to the ICU.
395
00:20:31,961 --> 00:20:33,712
Start him on
extracorporeal circulation.
396
00:20:33,838 --> 00:20:36,090
That'll raise his temperature
too quickly, it'll cause acidosis.
397
00:20:36,215 --> 00:20:37,967
We can deal with
his metabolism crashing.
398
00:20:38,092 --> 00:20:40,094
We can't reverse brain damage
if we go too slowly.
399
00:20:40,219 --> 00:20:41,971
Either way, if we don't
get his temperature above 95,
400
00:20:42,096 --> 00:20:43,138
it's not gonna matter.
401
00:20:43,264 --> 00:20:45,850
Multiple warm lavage
is safer.

He has no heartbeat, he's not breathing.

be dead?

Body slows down when it cools,
but it doesn't fully stop.
406
00:21:09,957 --> 00:21:13,002
We're warming his blood outside of his
body and then putting it back.
407
00:21:13,127 --> 00:21:14,336
It'll raise his
temperature enough
408
00:21:14,461 --> 00:21:16,505
that his heart
should naturally start.
409
00:21:17,006 --> 00:21:18,757
Then we can shock it
back into rhythm.
410
00:21:18,883 --> 00:21:20,926
And if it doesn't start?
411
00:21:23,596 --> 00:21:24,889
Then there's
nothing we can do.
412
00:21:32,146 --> 00:21:33,939
You think
it's possible he knew what he was doing?
413
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:38,235
Like some part of him
gets what he's putting his wife through,
414
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:39,987
- so he tried to...
- Kill himself?

if I were him.

At least I wish I would.
417
00:21:46,327 --> 00:21:48,037
I meant run away.

514
00:26:54,468 --> 00:26:57,012
The word "fever."
Could come from the patient's illness,
515
00:26:57,137 --> 00:26:58,764
or it could come
from the fact that you allowed him
516
00:26:58,889 --> 00:27:01,475
to saunter out of your hospital
and take a nap in the snow.
517
00:27:02,059 --> 00:27:03,602
He couldn't have caught a virus
while he was outside,
518
00:27:03,727 --> 00:27:05,354
fever came on too fast.
519
00:27:05,479 --> 00:27:07,564
The hypothermia
could have caused cell necrosis.
520
00:27:10,108 --> 00:27:12,527
TTP was the diagnosis
when he walked out.
521
00:27:12,653 --> 00:27:14,905
Fever's a little high,
but it still fits.
522
00:27:15,489 --> 00:27:17,574
We should
continue plasmapheresis.
523
00:27:17,699 --> 00:27:19,284
We're missing symptoms.
524
00:27:19,409 --> 00:27:21,370
We should add
language loss and aggression.
525
00:27:21,495 --> 00:27:24,039
Should we also add forgetfulness?
He's got Alzheimer's.
526
00:27:24,164 --> 00:27:25,249
We've just
been assuming.
527
00:27:25,374 --> 00:27:27,751
Because the patient's wife
said he exhibited both for a year.
528
00:27:27,876 --> 00:27:29,795
He's never hit her before
or lost all his English.
529
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,255
We have to
consider any change
530
00:27:31,380 --> 00:27:32,506
since he's been
admitted as relevant.
531
00:27:32,756 --> 00:27:36,093
"Have to?" Do I need
to pull out another card?
532
00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:39,346
Disseminated viral infection,
with encephalitis.
533
00:27:39,596 --> 00:27:42,099
Patient complained
of a sore throat a few weeks ago.
534
00:27:46,186 --> 00:27:47,521
Start him on interferon.
535
00:27:52,734 --> 00:27:54,611
CHASE: Encephalitis
makes his brain swell,
536
00:27:54,736 --> 00:27:57,614
which causes symptoms that are hard
to distinguish from his Alzheimer's.
537
00:27:57,739 --> 00:28:00,784
With the interferon,
his English should come back
538
00:28:00,909 --> 00:28:02,619
and the aggression
should subside.
539
00:28:03,328 --> 00:28:04,538
But you're not sure?
540
00:28:05,330 --> 00:28:06,915
Unfortunately, no.
541
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,712
And you're not sure if he has brain
damage from being frozen?
542
00:28:14,756 --> 00:28:18,176
So best-case scenario,
543
00:28:18,969 --> 00:28:20,804
I just had a glimpse
into his future?
544
00:28:26,768 --> 00:28:28,437
I can't take care
of him anymore.
545
00:28:28,562 --> 00:28:30,814
JESSICA: Chances are
his mental state will improve.
546
00:28:30,939 --> 00:28:32,566
You could get
more time with him.
547
00:28:34,568 --> 00:28:37,195
We married six months
after I met him.
548
00:28:37,654 --> 00:28:40,866
A year after that,
he started forgetting things.
549
00:28:42,576 --> 00:28:45,954
I've known my husband longer
with his Alzheimer's than without.
550
00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:49,166
I've watched more of him disappear
than I ever got to know.
551
00:28:52,169 --> 00:28:54,629
I just can't
do this anymore.
552

553
00:29:01,970 --> 00:29:04,473
Blood work shows
high levels of prolactin.
554

Add that to some peripheral
red-green confusion,
555
00:29:08,393 --> 00:29:11,980
puts my money, excuse me,
your money, soon to be my money,
556
00:29:12,439 --> 00:29:14,358
on a tumor
near his pituitary.
557
00:29:14,483 --> 00:29:16,485
Probably started growing
in his early teens.
558
00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:20,989
Lowering his libido
and causing erectile dysfunction.
559
00:29:21,114 --> 00:29:22,574
A year
on dopamine agonists
560
00:29:22,699 --> 00:29:25,494
and he'll be a sex-crazed creep
just like the rest of us.
561
00:29:25,786 --> 00:29:29,081
Completely fascinated
by Susie Cooper.
562
00:29:29,206 --> 00:29:32,334
I would prefer
to be paid in a single $100 bill.
563
00:29:32,459 --> 00:29:34,628
Always wanted to use one
to light a cigar.
564
00:29:36,254 --> 00:29:39,508
Hooray for us.
We disproved his asexuality.
565
00:29:39,633 --> 00:29:41,510
We also probably
ruined his life.
566
00:29:41,635 --> 00:29:44,137
He'll thank us.
Then he'll doze off.
567
00:29:44,262 --> 00:29:46,681
And then, in a couple of hours,
he'll thank us again.
568
00:29:46,807 --> 00:29:48,767
It could
destroy his identity.
569
00:29:48,892 --> 00:29:52,062
It's like a gay person
being told they're really straight.
570
00:29:52,646 --> 00:29:53,522
So don't tell him.
571
00:29:53,647 --> 00:29:56,525
Yeah, why bother telling a guy he has
a tumor growing in his head?
572
00:29:56,650 --> 00:29:59,027
He'll notice it eventually when it
starts leaking out his ears.
573
00:29:59,152 --> 00:30:00,529
It's a slow-growing tumor.
574
00:30:00,654 --> 00:30:02,656
He'll probably die
of boredom long before that.
575
00:30:04,324 --> 00:30:09,913
You always do this. You meddle and
force me into impossible situations.

about this case
that I'd get involved.

00:30:14,084 --> 00:30:15,919

to inflate it.

conflict with me

you could let me win.

it was encephalitis,

for me to say it,
594

because then,
with my ego boosted,
595
00:31:01,381 --> 00:31:03,258
you thought I'd be in the mood
to take off your monitor.
596

Because I'd think
I could control you.

you can control me.

00:36:16,738 --> 00:36:19,616
Dr. House noticed
hormone levels in your blood
684
00:36:19,741 --> 00:36:21,618
and consulted with me
as an oncologist...
685
00:36:21,743 --> 00:36:23,411
Who cares how
they found it, okay? They found it.
686
00:36:24,871 --> 00:36:26,289
Are there any side effects
to the treatment?
687
00:36:27,665 --> 00:36:31,628
Some nausea, dizziness,
and as the tumor shrinks,
688
00:36:31,753 --> 00:36:33,713
there will be
behavioral changes.
689
00:36:34,047 --> 00:36:35,507
Like what?
690
00:36:35,632 --> 00:36:37,050
Well...
691
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:41,221
The tumor interferes with
certain natural systems.
692
00:36:44,891 --> 00:36:48,061
It lowers libido and causes
erectile dysfunction.
693
00:36:51,147 --> 00:36:55,568
You mean the treatment
will make me want to have sex?
694
00:36:58,321 --> 00:36:59,781
What if I don't
want the treatment?
695
00:36:59,906 --> 00:37:01,407
I would
strongly advise...
696
00:37:01,533 --> 00:37:03,159
Look, you have
a brain tumor, okay?
697
00:37:03,284 --> 00:37:04,285
You have to
have the treatment.
698
00:37:04,410 --> 00:37:06,871
Okay, look,
I know who I am, okay?
699
00:37:06,996 --> 00:37:07,956
And I'm not one of them.
700
00:37:08,081 --> 00:37:10,875
Hey, look,
we'll adjust.
701
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,003
Okay? We can go
through this together.
702
00:37:14,128 --> 00:37:17,590
You mean have sex?
I can't make you do that.
703
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:20,301
Maybe it won't
be so bad.
704
00:37:20,426 --> 00:37:21,970
It'll be terrible.
705
00:37:23,763 --> 00:37:26,349
It's actually
pretty fun.
706
00:37:29,143 --> 00:37:31,104
From what I remember.
707
00:37:32,105 --> 00:37:33,690
- But you said that...
- I know.
708
00:37:34,607 --> 00:37:37,986
I know. I wanted to
spend my life with you
709
00:37:39,112 --> 00:37:41,698
and I knew that meant
making certain sacrifices.
710
00:37:42,907 --> 00:37:46,119
But a girl has needs.
711
00:37:51,124 --> 00:37:53,251
You dropped
in the U.S. News rankings.
712
00:37:53,376 --> 00:37:56,629
With respect, Mr. Laffont,
that's only because we temporarily
713
00:37:56,754 --> 00:37:58,172
shut down our
diagnostics department.
714
00:37:58,298 --> 00:37:59,632
It's up
and running again.
715
00:37:59,757 --> 00:38:02,218
I'm actually concerned it might be
because of the change in management.
716
00:38:02,343 --> 00:38:06,014
If you want my money,
I'll need to see a five year plan.
717
00:38:10,143 --> 00:38:11,227
Am I boring you?
718
00:38:13,521 --> 00:38:18,943
No, I just,
those flowers are from last week.
719
00:38:19,068 --> 00:38:21,029
They should
be dead by now.
720
00:38:21,154 --> 00:38:22,155
Excuse me?
721
00:38:25,575 --> 00:38:27,035
Sorry, I have to go.
722
00:38:39,172 --> 00:38:40,632
It's Reye's Syndrome.
723
00:38:40,757 --> 00:38:43,301
Patient had a sore throat
a few weeks ago before he was admitted.
724
00:38:43,426 --> 00:38:45,720
Reye's in adults
is a reach.
725
00:38:45,845 --> 00:38:46,971
Not if he took aspirin.
726
00:38:47,096 --> 00:38:49,057
Aspirin in adults
is a reach.
727
00:38:49,182 --> 00:38:51,309
Especially in a house
with locked medicine cabinets.
728
00:38:51,434 --> 00:38:52,852
It wasn't in
the medicine cabinet.
729
00:38:52,977 --> 00:38:55,229
The wife used to
run a floral company,
730
00:38:55,355 --> 00:38:56,856
still does a few orders
from home.
731
00:38:56,981 --> 00:38:58,775
She uses crushed aspirin
in the water
732
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:00,693
to make the flowers
last longer.
733
00:39:03,071 --> 00:39:04,614
So the husband
has a sore throat,
734
00:39:04,739 --> 00:39:06,240
takes an aspirin
without her knowing,
735
00:39:06,366 --> 00:39:08,159
realizes he's
got a sore throat, takes an aspirin,
736
00:39:08,284 --> 00:39:09,577
realizes he's got
a sore throat...
737
00:39:09,702 --> 00:39:12,205
You can stop me
whenever you like.
738
00:39:13,247 --> 00:39:15,208
Have Chase start him
on steroids.
739
00:39:15,333 --> 00:39:17,210
I already did.
740
00:39:18,211 --> 00:39:19,504
Then why are
you telling me?
741
00:39:19,629 --> 00:39:21,673
Because I wanted you
to hear it from me.
742
00:39:38,231 --> 00:39:39,315
(SIGHS)
743
00:39:52,412 --> 00:39:54,288
There she is.
744
00:39:55,790 --> 00:39:57,000
(SIGHS)
745
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:59,168
Here I am.
746
00:40:01,754 --> 00:40:04,549
Your eye.
What happened?
747
00:40:07,260 --> 00:40:09,554
It's nothing
I can't handle.
748
00:40:22,859 --> 00:40:25,945
MRI confirmed
macroprolactinoma.
749
00:40:26,904 --> 00:40:28,114
He's doing the treatment.
750
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,282
And the wife?
751
00:40:37,123 --> 00:40:41,169
Come on.
We saved a man's life,
752
00:40:41,294 --> 00:40:45,214
course-corrected two people's wildly
screwed up worldviews.
753
00:40:46,299 --> 00:40:48,301
Not bad
for a day's work.
754
00:40:51,846 --> 00:40:55,808
I think they were happy,
even if it was based on lies.
755
00:40:55,933 --> 00:40:57,727
Most happiness is.
756
00:41:00,938 --> 00:41:02,273
Better to have shtupped
and lost
757
00:41:02,398 --> 00:41:04,317
than never to
have shtupped at all.
758
00:41:05,318 --> 00:41:06,986
We can't smoke in here.
759
00:41:11,282 --> 00:41:13,868
We also can't summon
people into the clinic based on a lie
760
00:41:13,993 --> 00:41:17,205
motivated by a petty bet,
and yet it happens.
761
00:41:17,330 --> 00:41:19,457
It's an imperfect world.
762
00:41:31,094 --> 00:41:32,345
Well?
763
00:41:33,012 --> 00:41:34,514
Disgustingly satisfying.

766
00:41:41,813 --> 00:41:42,897
He said it was okay.
767
00:41:43,022 --> 00:41:45,108
Is one of you Dr. House?
768
00:41:46,359 --> 00:41:47,693
You've seen Spartacus,
right?
769
00:41:47,819 --> 00:41:50,822
I got an order here to
deactivate and remove his ankle monitor.
770

(OVER PHONE) Robbie?
774
00:42:05,962 --> 00:42:07,338
Hey, sis.
775
00:42:09,382 --> 00:42:11,092
It's been years.
776
00:42:11,217 --> 00:42:12,385
I know.
777
00:42:13,177 --> 00:42:15,763
I thought of you
on Mom's birthday.
778
00:42:16,722 --> 00:42:18,724
Is everything okay?
779
00:42:18,850 --> 00:42:21,394
Yeah, yeah.
Fine. I just...
780
00:42:22,979 --> 00:42:25,606
...wanted to
see how you were.
781
00:42:25,731 --> 00:42:26,983
I'm fine.

00:42:41,372 --> 00:42:43,457
Bikes go faster
without training wheels.
783
00:42:47,837 --> 00:42:51,257
Now get out,
I have work to do.

Whoops.
