00:00:02,629 --> 00:00:04,714
Brock, what
are you doing?
2
00:00:05,215 --> 00:00:07,592
Getting ready for surgery.
What's it look like?
3
00:00:07,842 --> 00:00:09,803
You're operating
on my sister.
4
00:00:10,762 --> 00:00:13,139
And my fiancée.
5
00:00:13,264 --> 00:00:15,058
You're drunk.
You could kill her.
6
00:00:16,226 --> 00:00:19,145
It's the only way
to stop my hands from shaking.
7
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:20,689
I need to drink.
8
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:23,191
For Anna.
9
00:00:23,316 --> 00:00:26,194
What about our baby?
10
00:00:26,903 --> 00:00:28,863
Our baby?
11
00:00:33,535 --> 00:00:38,915
Brock! Oh, my God! Brock, are you okay?
Brock, speak to me.
12
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,628
Oh, my God!
I think he's really hurt.
13
00:00:43,753 --> 00:00:44,629
Cut!

(SIGHS)
16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,010
That was scary. I thought for a second
you were really...
17
00:00:51,136 --> 00:00:53,972
Then you're going to be the only one
in the world who did.
18
00:00:54,848 --> 00:00:56,474
This is ridiculous.
19
00:00:56,599 --> 00:00:57,559
That was great, Evan.
20
00:00:57,684 --> 00:00:58,685
No, it wasn't. It was crap.
21
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,061
The fans are going to love it.
22
00:01:00,186 --> 00:01:01,855
The fans are crap. I'm crap.
23
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,774
This whole damn show is crap!
24
00:01:04,899 --> 00:01:06,693
Sorry, not your fault.
25
00:01:38,641 --> 00:01:41,895
Where are you going?
My apartment's on the West Side.
26
00:01:42,020 --> 00:01:44,689
Excuse me, you need
to go the other way.
27
00:01:45,982 --> 00:01:47,859
Hey, did you hear what I said?
28
00:01:53,448 --> 00:01:56,284
What the hell's going
on here? What do you want?
29
00:01:56,868 --> 00:01:59,412
HOUSE: An autographed
picture would be nice.
30
00:02:00,789 --> 00:02:04,501
Oh, and I'm also going
to save your life.
31
00:02:46,042 --> 00:02:48,795
You might want to think about
repositioning the crosswalk.
32
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,798
It's technically not a violation,
but the closer they are to the entrance,
33
00:02:51,923 --> 00:02:53,633
the more likely
they are to be used.
34
00:02:53,758 --> 00:02:54,843
Makes sense.
35
00:02:54,968 --> 00:02:57,595
Listen, I actually wasn't
expecting you until next month.
36
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,057
Yeah, that's the problem with planned
visits, administrators plan for them.
37
00:03:02,433 --> 00:03:05,895
The most recent New Jersey
Hospital Accreditation requirements.
38
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:07,689
Yeah, I'm familiar with...
(HORN HONKING)
39
00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:17,073
Who is that?
40
00:03:17,866 --> 00:03:20,827
I have no idea.
Shall we get started?
41
00:03:24,163 --> 00:03:28,418
Just let me go. I won't press charges.
I'll forget the whole thing.
42
00:03:28,543 --> 00:03:31,170
That's probably true,
seeing as how you have a brain tumor.
43
00:03:33,214 --> 00:03:36,050
You're that nut-job doctor
that keeps calling my publicist.
44
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:38,720
Actually, I'm the nut-job
Head of Diagnostic Medicine.
45
00:03:38,845 --> 00:03:42,932
I run every day. I don't get headaches.
I'm fine. So, if you don't mind...
46
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:44,601
Actually, I do mind.
47
00:03:44,726 --> 00:03:48,354
I don't care if you die,
but if Brock Sterling dies,
48
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,941
Anna never finds out
he's the father of Marie's baby.
49
00:03:52,233 --> 00:03:53,318
Help!
50
00:03:53,443 --> 00:03:54,736
Help!
51
00:03:55,111 --> 00:03:57,947
We're gonna need
a wheelchair here!
52
00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:00,450
Look, in the last month,
53
00:04:00,575 --> 00:04:04,621
your average line reading has slowed
from 2.1 seconds to 2.9.
54
00:04:04,746 --> 00:04:06,706
You're pausing more,
always at the same interval,
55
00:04:06,831 --> 00:04:08,416
every seven to nine words,
56
00:04:08,541 --> 00:04:11,294
which means you're having trouble
reading one side of the teleprompter,
57
00:04:11,419 --> 00:04:12,587
which means a peripheral
vision problem,
58
00:04:12,712 --> 00:04:15,882
which means a tumor
in your occipital lobe.
59
00:04:17,717 --> 00:04:21,429
Just one test. If there's nothing wrong,
I'll take you right back home.
60
00:04:27,644 --> 00:04:30,939
Make it cab fare. I don't want you
anywhere near my house.
61
00:04:34,943 --> 00:04:36,986
Just put it in my spot.
62
00:04:37,862 --> 00:04:40,949
The Accreditation Board
is here to protect us and our patients.
63
00:04:41,074 --> 00:04:43,576
So, in dealing with
the onsite inspector,
64
00:04:43,701 --> 00:04:48,373
please behave as if it wasn't also an
enormous pain in the ass. Thank you.
65
00:04:48,623 --> 00:04:51,376
Chase, Foreman, Cameron,
up here, please.
66
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:57,048
Why is House driving a limo?
67
00:04:57,173 --> 00:04:59,175
- Don't know.
- Don't have to know.
68
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:00,927
Don't care.
69
00:05:01,052 --> 00:05:03,888
CUDDY: Wrong. Until this inspection
is over you're back on House-watch.
70
00:05:04,013 --> 00:05:05,390
Current case. Past cases.
71
00:05:05,515 --> 00:05:06,349
He doesn't have
a current case.
72
00:05:06,474 --> 00:05:07,642
I have a whole department.
73
00:05:07,767 --> 00:05:09,560
And are you going
to fire us if we don't?
74
00:05:09,686 --> 00:05:12,647
I was just asking
for your help.
75
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:20,655
The last time I checked the ER, you had
the best-kept charts in the building.
76
00:05:20,780 --> 00:05:23,241
Last time I checked the 4th-floor
janitor's closet,
77
00:05:23,366 --> 00:05:24,701
I found House's charts.
78
00:05:24,826 --> 00:05:26,661
He hasn't filed anything
since you left.
79
00:05:26,786 --> 00:05:27,912
Now, House may not care
80
00:05:28,037 --> 00:05:29,956
whether this hospital's accreditation
gets downgraded,
81
00:05:30,081 --> 00:05:34,085
but the people who sign my paychecks do.
So, I repeat: Current. Past.
82
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:35,712
He doesn't have
a current case.
83
00:05:35,837 --> 00:05:38,172
Did he tell you
about the limo?
84
00:05:38,756 --> 00:05:41,801
So, I just press this button
every time I see a light?
85
00:05:41,926 --> 00:05:43,845
Tells me where
your blind spots are.
86
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:47,515
So, the twins,
87
00:05:47,932 --> 00:05:49,767
they're going to turn out
to be yours, aren't they?
88
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:52,645
I told you, I can't
talk about that stuff.
89
00:05:53,312 --> 00:05:55,773
But you want to be
done with this, right?
90
00:05:57,859 --> 00:05:59,944
One's mine, one's Julio's.
91
00:06:00,778 --> 00:06:02,155
I knew it!
92
00:06:03,072 --> 00:06:06,743
Julio knocked her up before her appendix
burst. You got her after.
93
00:06:07,285 --> 00:06:09,370
How can you watch that stuff?
94
00:06:09,662 --> 00:06:10,788
Because it's awesome.
95
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:14,667
It's preposterous, not one real moment
since I've been on the show.
96
00:06:14,792 --> 00:06:19,088
As opposed to shows that represent the
world exactly the way it is, like...
97
00:06:20,006 --> 00:06:21,090
Can't think of any.
98
00:06:21,382 --> 00:06:22,759
What's going on?
99
00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:27,638
Hospital is being inspected, and Cuddy
dispatched you to keep an eye on me.
100
00:06:28,848 --> 00:06:30,850
I just parked a Town Car
in an ambulance bay,
101
00:06:30,975 --> 00:06:34,395
and instead of ripping me one,
Cuddy acted like she didn't know me.
102
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,814
It's either an inspection
or an aneurysm.
103
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:37,774
What's the test say?
104
00:06:38,191 --> 00:06:39,859
As I suspected,
105
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:44,197
you have significant losses in the upper
right quadrant of your visual field.
106
00:06:44,322 --> 00:06:45,281
Are you serious?
107
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:46,616
No, it's a joke.
108
00:06:47,075 --> 00:06:48,326
Two guys go into a bar,
109
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:50,536
and one has significant losses in the
upper right quadrant
110
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:51,496
of his visual field.
111
00:06:51,621 --> 00:06:53,831
The other one says you're
going to need an MRI
112
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:56,000
to confirm the type
and location of the tumor.
113
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:58,086
That readout says
his vision's fine.
114
00:06:58,211 --> 00:06:59,087
HOUSE: No, it doesn't.
115
00:06:59,212 --> 00:07:00,463
Yes, it does.
116
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,673
You lied to me?
117
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:06,135
I kidnapped you, and you're surprised
that I lied to you?
118
00:07:06,761 --> 00:07:09,639
It just means that the symptoms
are intermittent.
119
00:07:09,764 --> 00:07:12,350
You come near me again,
I'm calling the police.
120
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:15,228
You kidnapped him?
121
00:07:15,353 --> 00:07:18,564
It's sweet that I haven't lost
the ability to surprise you.
122
00:07:26,948 --> 00:07:28,324
Are you mocking me?
123
00:07:28,449 --> 00:07:30,118
My back. My back
is killing me.
124
00:07:30,243 --> 00:07:31,369
Don't care. Busy.
125
00:07:31,494 --> 00:07:32,829
Amber's damn mattress.
126
00:07:32,954 --> 00:07:35,623
Well, that sucks.
Don't buy a new one.
127
00:07:36,374 --> 00:07:38,668
Are you being sarcastic?
Because we are buying one.
128
00:07:38,793 --> 00:07:40,628
She's incapable of doing
anything that matters
129
00:07:40,753 --> 00:07:43,422
without turning it
into a zero-sum game.
130
00:07:43,548 --> 00:07:45,508
We're buying
a mattress. For us.
131
00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:48,177
Wow, I'm faster
than you right now.
132
00:07:52,807 --> 00:07:57,395
It's all about her and whatever hapless
salesman wanders into her sights.
133
00:07:57,854 --> 00:08:02,441
She's going to lie, steal and trade your
testes to get whatever she wants.
134
00:08:03,651 --> 00:08:07,905
Hold on. Just got to do something before
he dials the second "one."
135
00:08:11,492 --> 00:08:14,871
You're going to end up
humiliated, holding her purse
136
00:08:15,746 --> 00:08:18,708
and going home to sleep
on a new mattress you hate.
137
00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:20,418
What the hell are you doing?
138
00:08:20,543 --> 00:08:21,752
He needs a MRI.
139
00:08:23,629 --> 00:08:26,883
Give me one-millimeter slices
from the cortex down.
140
00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:30,928
Any particular reason you
decided to sedate a patient
141
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:32,889
for a procedure that's
completely painless?
142
00:08:33,014 --> 00:08:36,601
Guy has a history of violent outbursts
during surgical procedures.
143
00:08:36,726 --> 00:08:38,144
Yeah, on TV.
144
00:08:39,145 --> 00:08:42,106
It's Evan Greer. He's the main stud
on House's soap.
145
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:44,567
Frontal cortex
looks clean. No tumors.
146
00:08:44,692 --> 00:08:47,820
Increase the magnification
on the occipital lobe.
147
00:08:48,154 --> 00:08:51,115
You watch because you
like or because I like?
148
00:08:51,407 --> 00:08:53,075
I was unemployed. I...
149
00:08:53,201 --> 00:08:54,076
(Buzzes)
150
00:08:54,202 --> 00:08:56,787
Sorry, that's not an answer,
that's an apology.
151
00:08:57,246 --> 00:08:59,248
If we are ever to come out of the
darkness, we have to be proud...
152
00:08:59,373 --> 00:09:02,752
Occipital, frontal and temporal
lobes are clean, so is the optic nerve.
153
00:09:02,877 --> 00:09:04,837
Definitely no tumors.
154
00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:07,673
He's fine?
155
00:09:07,798 --> 00:09:09,425
And awake.
(EVAN GROANING)
156
00:09:11,677 --> 00:09:13,262
What should we tell him?
157
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,933
See if you can talk
him out of suing me.
158
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:22,647
He kidnapped me!
He drugged me!
159
00:09:22,772 --> 00:09:24,440
Perhaps you should
go out the back way.
160
00:09:24,899 --> 00:09:27,443
I'm not going anywhere
you people tell me to go.
161
00:09:27,693 --> 00:09:31,364
It's just someone of your
fame... I figured fans...
162
00:09:31,489 --> 00:09:34,617
You're trying to hide me.
You don't want me making a scene.
163
00:09:34,742 --> 00:09:36,494
The hospital is being
inspected today.
164
00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:38,204
And you want me
to do you a favor?
165
00:09:38,329 --> 00:09:41,457
Not us, our dean of medicine.
And House hates her.
166
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:43,918
You'd be doing House
a favor by complaining.
167
00:09:45,044 --> 00:09:46,045
Oh.
168
00:09:48,506 --> 00:09:51,509
This hospital is staffed
with lunatics and criminals.
169
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,636
Excuse me, where is Dr. Cuddy?
170
00:09:55,096 --> 00:09:57,348
It's my foot.
What did he do to me?
171
00:09:57,473 --> 00:09:58,349
What did House do?
172
00:09:58,474 --> 00:10:00,142
Nothing. I was with
him the whole time.
173
00:10:00,268 --> 00:10:02,061
It's numb. I can't feel it.
174
00:10:06,607 --> 00:10:08,150
I can't walk.
175
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,784
Foot numbness has
a huge differential.
176
00:10:17,201 --> 00:10:21,539
That gets a lot narrower when you add
in peripheral-vision problems.
177
00:10:21,789 --> 00:10:25,334
Which gets a lot wider when there's no
proof he ever had a vision problem.
178
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:27,003
KUTNER: So House was wrong
about the first symptom,
179
00:10:27,128 --> 00:10:28,671
but the guy just
happened to develop
180
00:10:28,796 --> 00:10:30,881
a second, unrelated symptom
a few hours later?
181
00:10:31,007 --> 00:10:33,676
He already kidnapped
and sedated the guy against his will.
182
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:36,929
Makes sense he'd also do something to
numb his foot so he couldn't leave.
183
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:39,890
But it doesn't make sense to include
a symptom that he caused
184
00:10:40,016 --> 00:10:42,393
in a differential he's
so desperate to solve.
185
00:10:42,810 --> 00:10:44,061
Unless he didn't
mean to cause it.
186
00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:47,898
Stick to the filing, sweetheart.
Let the doctors do the doctoring.
187
00:10:48,024 --> 00:10:49,608
Either toxins
or vitamin deficiency...
188
00:10:49,734 --> 00:10:50,860
I'm guessing, when
you drugged him,
189
00:10:50,985 --> 00:10:52,903
you didn't catch him
and ease him to the floor.
190
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:55,156
He could've pinched a nerve
in his ankle when he fell.
191
00:10:55,281 --> 00:10:57,783
You need to run an EMG test
for motor nerve entrapment
192
00:10:57,908 --> 00:11:00,411
or the inspector
will own your ass.
193
00:11:00,995 --> 00:11:04,540
Kutner, leave the room,
wait 30 minutes,
194
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:06,250
come back and tell her
the test was negative.
195
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:08,878
Is it okay if I use that
time to do the test?
196
00:11:09,253 --> 00:11:10,588
Get out of here.
197
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:13,090
And the rest of them can
help me with all this stuff.
198
00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:15,593
They're busy, which
is really annoying,
199
00:11:15,718 --> 00:11:17,720
because I wanted to be able
to say that they're busy
200
00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:19,930
for no other reason
than to screw with you.
201
00:11:20,431 --> 00:11:21,724
Research.
202
00:11:22,892 --> 00:11:23,893
(SIGHS)
203
00:11:24,685 --> 00:11:26,020
So the nut job was right?
204
00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:28,189
Usually is.
205
00:11:29,607 --> 00:11:31,275
He said I was dying.
206
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:36,113
He's wrong a lot, too.
That's why we do these tests.
207
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:39,700
Bet it's cool, you know,
being the star of a hit TV show?
208
00:11:40,451 --> 00:11:44,080
It's a daytime soap. it pretty much puts
me one step above dinner theater.
209
00:11:44,205 --> 00:11:45,915
Come on, you're
on TV every day.
210
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,085
And who cares what the critics
think? Women love soaps.
211
00:11:49,335 --> 00:11:53,923
You get to take pride in your job,
feel good when you go home at night.
212
00:11:54,048 --> 00:11:55,966
You're entertaining people.
213
00:11:56,092 --> 00:11:57,093
I don't care.
214
00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:59,553
Then you've made
a strange career choice.
215
00:11:59,678 --> 00:12:01,555
Look, I'm pandering.
216
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:05,142
I want to be part of something
that inspires people.
217
00:12:05,267 --> 00:12:09,063
So, quit. Find something
inspiring and do it.
218
00:12:09,188 --> 00:12:10,439
It's not that easy.
219
00:12:10,564 --> 00:12:11,565
Why not?
220
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:15,986
Just isn't.
221
00:12:20,574 --> 00:12:23,702
It's my heart, Doctor.
It's racing.
222
00:12:23,953 --> 00:12:26,705
I'm sure it's nothing.
You're a healthy woman, Marie.
223
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:29,208
MARIE: Shouldn't you
examine me?
224
00:12:30,376 --> 00:12:32,044
BROCK: Why don't you
have Rico do it?
225
00:12:32,169 --> 00:12:34,964
You can't tell me
you didn't notice that pause.
226
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:36,674
Sorry.
227
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,801
She's never waking up.
228
00:12:39,218 --> 00:12:42,263
This is a whole new
experience in super hi-def.
229
00:12:42,388 --> 00:12:44,890
I had no idea Marie
wore an underwire.
230
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:47,017
It does sound a little forced.
231
00:12:47,143 --> 00:12:50,187
Could be stiffening in his tongue,
which is a symptom of myxedema.
232
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:55,234
It's not the tongue. It's the dialogue.
I think I dated that nurse, though.
233
00:12:58,195 --> 00:12:59,238
No.
234
00:13:00,114 --> 00:13:02,366
What about the way he's
holding that stethoscope?
235
00:13:02,491 --> 00:13:05,077
The thumb and forefinger
are meeting at an odd angle.
236
00:13:05,202 --> 00:13:07,788
Could be a demyelination
from toxic exposure.
237
00:13:07,913 --> 00:13:09,123
Back it up.
238
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,042
What's this, the AV Club?
239
00:13:12,168 --> 00:13:14,837
It's diagnostic.
Everything's under control.
240
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:19,008
Yeah, excellent job
so far. House, outside.
241
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:22,845
Keep watching.
242
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:26,140
You'll never guess
what Rico's got in that box.
243
00:13:26,265 --> 00:13:28,851
MARIE: Rico doesn't
even know I'm alive.
244
00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:32,855
You have an obsession with an actor or
the character he plays. I feel for you.
245
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:35,357
You need to work it out.
But I need you to do it
246
00:13:35,483 --> 00:13:39,195
when the hospital's accreditation,
and my job, are not on the line.
247
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,324
You want the star of the hottest daytime
drama on TV to die in your hospital?
248
00:13:43,449 --> 00:13:47,203
No, I want you to cure him without
committing any more felonies.
249
00:13:47,328 --> 00:13:50,331
I can't do my job if you're going
to tie my hands like that.
250
00:13:50,456 --> 00:13:51,832
Fifty-one weeks
out of the year,
251
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:55,836
I let you run around
like a monkey in a banana factory.
252
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:58,881
All I'm asking is
that you tone it down for a few days.
253
00:14:01,050 --> 00:14:02,426
I want that TV.
254
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:03,761
We're not bargaining.
255
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:06,430
You want something. Either you're
bargaining or you're begging.
256
00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:08,349
Me keeping my job
is good for you.
257
00:14:08,474 --> 00:14:10,643
Yes, but it's better for you.
258
00:14:11,435 --> 00:14:13,145
I just want us to
be equally happy.
259
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:17,024
EMG was negative for nerve entrapment.
Means the foot's a real symptom.
260
00:14:17,149 --> 00:14:18,734
It could be
vitamin deficiency.
261
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:21,278
- Or a toxin.
- Or atherosclerosis.
262
00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:22,446
Or a toxin.
263
00:14:22,571 --> 00:14:24,156
Why is toxin a better idea?
264
00:14:24,281 --> 00:14:25,407
Might not be.
265
00:14:25,533 --> 00:14:27,701
We'll know after I'm finished searching
his set and dressing room
266
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:30,746
for medically relevant stuff.
267
00:14:31,664 --> 00:14:33,123
Got to go.
Need a decision.
268
00:14:33,249 --> 00:14:35,167
You're not going to
cut your own throat.
269
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:37,294
Yeah, that sounds like me.
270
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:42,007
Test for heavy metals, organics, bio
toxins, and search the home.
271
00:14:47,012 --> 00:14:49,139
I liked the pillow-top.
272
00:14:49,265 --> 00:14:50,266
I like this one.
273
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,145
Great taste. That model's
top-of-the-line.
274
00:14:55,271 --> 00:14:56,188
How much is it?
275
00:14:56,313 --> 00:14:57,898
$1,999.
It's a great price.
276
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:00,985
- And what about...
- That's too rich for us.
277
00:15:02,111 --> 00:15:04,113
I don't know. You think...
278
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:08,367
Honey, we can't afford that,
not with a baby on the way.
279
00:15:09,118 --> 00:15:10,995
Congratulations.
Your first?
280
00:15:11,495 --> 00:15:12,413
Yes.
281
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:15,624
How about I knock 100 bucks off,
maybe throw in free delivery.

Money's really
tight right now.

just got laid off.

He has an interview today.
Wish him luck.

00:15:24,049 --> 00:15:25,593
Good luck.

00:15:25,718 --> 00:15:26,885
Fingers crossed.
287
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:31,181
We might be able
to afford $1,500.
288
00:15:31,390 --> 00:15:33,225
I'd have to check
with my manager.
289
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:34,893

You were so wrong.

"You choose" does

Really? It sounded like
"You choose."

I suppose it's possible she
meant "House is so, so wrong."

00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:22,603
One bad night and a couple
of sunflower seeds
339
00:18:22,728 --> 00:18:24,313
and he's got autonomic
dysregulation?
340
00:18:24,438 --> 00:18:25,522
It's more than just one.
341
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:29,443
He can't even remember the last time he
was able to salute. It's cool, huh?
342
00:18:29,568 --> 00:18:32,863
B6 wouldn't show up on a tox screen, and
we didn't find anything at the house.
343
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:35,449
So, all we have to do is filter the B6
out of his blood.
344
00:18:35,574 --> 00:18:37,117
Prep him for plasmapheresis.
345
00:18:37,242 --> 00:18:40,162
Just because he didn't salute
doesn't mean he can't.
346
00:18:40,496 --> 00:18:43,540
Can you find out where
that voice keeps coming from
347
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:45,042
and tell it to get
out of my head?
348
00:18:45,167 --> 00:18:47,878
The impotence could be psychological.
He's depressed, hates his job...
349
00:18:48,003 --> 00:18:49,421
Plasmapheresis has risks.
350
00:18:49,546 --> 00:18:52,299
He should spend a night in the sleep
lab, see if he gets a reflex erection.
351
00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:55,344
Confirmation is for wimps
and altar boys.
352
00:18:58,263 --> 00:18:59,640
We don't need
to wait for a reflex.
353
00:18:59,765 --> 00:19:04,061
If he can't get engorged the way God
intended, then he can't get engorged.
354
00:19:04,645 --> 00:19:06,563
I'm not showing him my boobs.
355
00:19:06,939 --> 00:19:09,817
Lack of response to your
chest tells us nothing.
356
00:19:09,942 --> 00:19:11,985
Thirteen, show him...
357
00:19:12,736 --> 00:19:13,904
(SIGHS)
358
00:19:14,029 --> 00:19:16,031
Where can I find a decent
set of knockers around here?
359
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,574
Your porn's in
the second drawer.
360
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:27,543
All set. Heart monitor, blood-pressure
monitor, and the one on his junk.
361
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:31,380
This is humiliating.
362
00:19:31,505 --> 00:19:33,465
We're going to close the blinds to give
you some privacy.
363
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:36,260
The instruments will let us
monitor your response.
364
00:19:36,969 --> 00:19:40,222
I don't get this guy. He has the coolest
gig ever, but he's miserable about it.
365
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:41,932
Probably figures quitting
won't do him any good.
366
00:19:42,057 --> 00:19:43,600
Figures he'd be
unhappy anywhere.
367
00:19:43,725 --> 00:19:45,269
Our circumstances
affect whether we're...
368
00:19:45,394 --> 00:19:47,354
You're pretty happy
in this job, right?
369
00:19:47,479 --> 00:19:48,480
Sure.
370
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,899
Have you ever had a job
where you were miserable?
371
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:53,652
I once sold men's fragrances
in a department store.
372
00:19:53,777 --> 00:19:55,654
And were you miserable?
373
00:19:55,863 --> 00:19:57,072
The pay was awful.
374
00:19:57,197 --> 00:19:59,283
It was a miserable job,
but you weren't miserable.
375
00:20:01,994 --> 00:20:04,037
So, what about you?
Are you happy?
376
00:20:04,371 --> 00:20:05,664
Not particularly.
377
00:20:06,874 --> 00:20:08,375
Heart rate
and BP are climbing.
378
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,752
Got some activity on the tumescence
monitor, as well.
379
00:20:10,878 --> 00:20:14,506
There's nothing wrong with his
naughty. It's not B6 toxicity.
380
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:15,591
(MONITOR BEEPING)
381
00:20:19,011 --> 00:20:20,971
Did he just finish?
382
00:20:21,096 --> 00:20:25,058
Sometimes when you haven't,
you know, for a while...
383
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:26,476
(HEART MONITOR
BEEPING RAPIDLY)
384
00:20:26,602 --> 00:20:29,980
His heart rate is through
the roof. 220 and climbing.
385
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:31,106
(GRUNTS)
386
00:20:31,481 --> 00:20:33,108
He's headed
for cardiac arrest.
387
00:20:41,491 --> 00:20:43,285
We shocked his heart back
into sinus rhythm.
388
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:44,953
He's stable, at least for now.
389
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:46,955
Could be some sort of
atypical septic reaction.
390
00:20:47,414 --> 00:20:48,457
Not without a fever.
391
00:20:48,582 --> 00:20:50,375
Thus the word "atypical."
392
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,794
In that case, it could
be an atypical bunion.
393
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,754
He used to smoke.
394
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:56,381
Could be paraneoplastic syndrome caused
by small-cell lung cancer.
395
00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:58,759
He quit 20 years ago, and his calcium
levels are normal.
396
00:20:58,884 --> 00:21:00,010
Could be Graves' Disease.
397
00:21:00,135 --> 00:21:01,970
Extreme hyperthyroidism
leads to systemic problems,
398
00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:05,098
including numbness, vision loss
and cardiac arrest.
399
00:21:06,558 --> 00:21:08,477
You want to be here.
400
00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:10,562
I have to be here.
401
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:12,689
Just say the word.
I'll fire Thirteen.
402
00:21:12,814 --> 00:21:15,317
CAMERON: Just sign the forms.
403
00:21:15,442 --> 00:21:16,818
Smart move. I was bluffing.
404
00:21:17,861 --> 00:21:21,448
She's right. We should fry the
thyroid before it fries him.
405
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:26,495
I know it's more exciting this way,
but shouldn't we confirm you're right
406
00:21:26,620 --> 00:21:29,581
before destroying one of the most
important glands in his body?
407
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:32,626
If that gland has drawn a bull's-eye
on his heart, then, no.
408
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:34,544
Nuking his thyroid puts him at risk
409
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:37,214
for vascular lesions
and all kinds of cancer.
410
00:21:37,339 --> 00:21:39,424
Protocol says we should
do an iodine uptake test.
411
00:21:40,509 --> 00:21:41,843
We?
412
00:21:42,636 --> 00:21:44,304
Anyone else want
to run a useless test
413
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:47,766
while Brock's thyroid plots
its next lethal move?
414
00:21:50,852 --> 00:21:52,145
It was rhetorical.
415
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:54,690
You were sure about
B6 toxicity, too.
416
00:21:54,815 --> 00:21:56,149
House is right.
417
00:21:58,652 --> 00:22:02,781
Seriously? I mean, I am,
but you think so?
418
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:06,952
If he goes into full-on
thyroid storm, he'll die.
419
00:22:08,745 --> 00:22:10,789
We got to nuke his thyroid.
420
00:22:16,211 --> 00:22:17,379
Hang up the phone.
421
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:18,922
Why? If we're going
to nuke his thyroid...
422
00:22:19,047 --> 00:22:22,342
We're not nuking the guy's thyroid
without proof that it's Graves'.
423
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,011
Do the iodine uptake test.
424
00:22:24,136 --> 00:22:26,138
- If House finds out...
- When House finds out...
425
00:22:26,263 --> 00:22:27,514
We'll have the test results.
426
00:22:27,639 --> 00:22:30,767
And we'll either do his
procedure or we won't.
427
00:22:44,156 --> 00:22:45,490
What are you doing here?
428
00:22:45,615 --> 00:22:46,950
Just grabbing a snack.
429
00:22:47,951 --> 00:22:49,745
You keep food in the morgue?
430
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:52,039
If I keep it in the lounge,
everyone else eats it.
431
00:22:52,456 --> 00:22:55,208
That's because it's
everyone else's food.
432
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:59,171
I thought it was just
everyone else's bags.
433
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:02,007
The Accreditation Board
will light us on fire for this.
434
00:23:02,132 --> 00:23:04,468
They're not going to find out.
435
00:23:04,593 --> 00:23:06,845
Unless, of course, Conway planned on
inspecting the morgue
436
00:23:06,970 --> 00:23:09,181
in, say, two minutes.
437
00:23:10,891 --> 00:23:11,975
Is that why you're here?
438
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,227
You're going to get me fired
over a sandwich?
439
00:23:14,352 --> 00:23:18,607
No, over a TV. And you're not going to
get fired because you're going to fold.
440
00:23:18,732 --> 00:23:20,192
No, I won't.
441
00:23:20,317 --> 00:23:23,612
But you're going to push it,
so we need a safe word,
442
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:27,407
so you can signal
your unconditional surrender.
443
00:23:27,741 --> 00:23:32,162
Call me "sweet sauce."
Dr. House. I don't think we've met.
444
00:23:32,287 --> 00:23:34,581
Dr. Jamie Conway.
I've heard your name.
445
00:23:34,706 --> 00:23:37,000
Most people have.
It's also a noun.
446
00:23:39,836 --> 00:23:43,757
I sometimes come down here to relax,
unwind, maybe grab a...
447
00:23:43,882 --> 00:23:45,342
Sweet sauce.
448
00:23:47,344 --> 00:23:48,595
It's a nickname.
449
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,971
An ironic nickname.
450
00:23:51,598 --> 00:23:55,560
Wow, it is almost 2:00.
Aren't you supposed to be...
451
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,190
Oh, yeah. Yeah, 'cause those
sick blind kids
452
00:24:00,315 --> 00:24:01,858
aren't going
to read to themselves.
453
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:04,027
See you.
454
00:24:11,201 --> 00:24:17,165
I recommend skipping C26. Floater, been
in the river at least a week.
455
00:24:17,624 --> 00:24:19,543
- Thanks for the warning.
- Any time.
456
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:33,306
Doesn't the doctors' lounge
have that same TV?
457
00:24:33,515 --> 00:24:37,686
No, they've got a 12-inch exactly like
the one that used to be in here.
458
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,522
Your files are done.
459
00:24:40,647 --> 00:24:43,817
I'll be doing a dance of joy just as
soon as my leg is healed.
460
00:24:43,942 --> 00:24:45,318
Can you tilt that down?
461
00:24:45,443 --> 00:24:46,778
I know the paperwork
annoys you,
462
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:50,240
but patient records are important.
You can't just let them sit there.
463
00:24:50,365 --> 00:24:53,034
I had to, in the
name of science.
464
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,953
I let the crap pile up,
465
00:24:55,078 --> 00:24:58,582
then I see which team member
is most self-flagellating.
466
00:24:58,707 --> 00:25:01,168
Breaks down,
clears up the mess.
467
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:04,629
Surprise was, it turned
out to be you again.
468
00:25:05,714 --> 00:25:08,884
You weren't even
registered as a competitor.
469
00:25:09,217 --> 00:25:11,636
- You miss me.
- You miss me.
470
00:25:11,970 --> 00:25:13,555
You hired Thirteen
to replace...
471
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,349
Yeah, all pretty
girls are fungible.
472
00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:18,143
You're avoiding.
473
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:23,815
I miss the job. I miss running around
playing private investigator.
474
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:27,110
I miss the puzzles.
475
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:30,363
Seriously, I'll fire Thirteen.
476
00:25:31,489 --> 00:25:33,867
Or Kutner, if you
think Thirteen is hot.
477
00:25:35,452 --> 00:25:36,995
I don't miss you.
478
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:43,335
EVAN: That iodine left
a really weird aftertaste.
479
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:46,379
That's the tracer in it. We'll have the
images in a couple minutes.
480
00:25:48,089 --> 00:25:49,966
You must do okay
with women, huh?
481
00:25:50,091 --> 00:25:51,801
I already asked him that.
482
00:25:52,969 --> 00:25:53,887
And?
483
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:55,722
It's not all it's
cracked up to be.
484
00:25:55,847 --> 00:25:58,183
He feels unfulfilled.
485
00:25:58,433 --> 00:25:59,351
I doubt it.
486
00:25:59,935 --> 00:26:01,311
I'm lying?
487
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:04,022
I used to be
a plastic surgeon.
488
00:26:04,314 --> 00:26:07,192
I'd talk about my work
as shallow and meaningless.
489
00:26:09,152 --> 00:26:14,241
Truth is, I loved every
boob job, every tummy tuck.
490
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:17,953
Meaning doesn't
mean that much.
491
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:20,580
But you're not a plastic
surgeon anymore.
492
00:26:22,249 --> 00:26:23,917
It's complicated.
493
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:25,252
Are you happier?
494
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:28,546
It's complicated.
495
00:26:28,672 --> 00:26:29,839
His thyroid looks normal.
496
00:26:31,299 --> 00:26:33,385
So, that's good
news, right?
497
00:26:33,843 --> 00:26:35,637
Everything look
too bright to you?
498
00:26:35,762 --> 00:26:36,846
It could be the monitor.
499
00:26:40,934 --> 00:26:44,187
It's not the monitor.
It's the iodine.
500
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:48,358
It's everywhere.
His body's not filtering it.
501
00:26:48,483 --> 00:26:49,776
His kidneys are failing.
502
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:56,366
I told you to
nuke his thyroid.
503
00:26:56,491 --> 00:26:59,619
It's a good thing we didn't.
Kidney failure means it wasn't Graves'.
504
00:26:59,744 --> 00:27:03,748
So, your test screwed me
and our patient's kidneys.
505
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:05,292
You practically poisoned
him with iodine.
506

You've never hesitated before.
The board's turning you into a coward.
512
00:27:20,682 --> 00:27:22,517
I did it because it was
the right thing to do.

You did it to pass
an inspection.

Does it matter?
515
00:27:26,104 --> 00:27:27,856
Kidney failure on top of the other
symptoms
516
00:27:27,981 --> 00:27:29,524
points to an autoimmune condition,
517
00:27:29,649 --> 00:27:32,902
which means that any
of his other organs could be next.
518
00:27:33,236 --> 00:27:37,741
We've already started dialysis. We need
to run ANA's for autoimmune.

18 inches from the ceiling.

drugs. What do the tests say?
641
00:35:10,610 --> 00:35:12,862
It was negative for fungus and
parasites, but that doesn't mean...
642
00:35:12,987 --> 00:35:14,906
The more infections we rule out,
the more likely it is
643
00:35:15,031 --> 00:35:16,073
that it's not an infection.
644
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:19,243
He has no history of allergies
or asthma. Most importantly,
645
00:35:19,368 --> 00:35:22,205
none of his symptoms remotely
resemble an allergic reaction.
646
00:35:22,330 --> 00:35:24,624
Allergens could trigger
an allergic vasculitis.
647
00:35:24,749 --> 00:35:27,084
- That would explain the symptoms.
- One in a million times.
648

Septic infection always
explains his symptoms.
649

But an infection is never
resistant to every antibiotic.
650
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:33,424
No, an infection
is rarely resistant.
651
00:35:33,549 --> 00:35:36,344
And allergy never responds
to antibiotics.

655
00:35:43,476 --> 00:35:47,230
Chrysanthemums contain pyrethrin.
It's a neurotoxin and a known allergen.

Fast enough.

00:35:55,863 --> 00:35:57,907
You don't have time for the rest of
the tests. We have to do something.
661

right now isn't working.

milligrams? That'll jump-start a car.

that she'll consent.

00:36:29,730 --> 00:36:32,191
Well, tell the inspector
he can put it on my tab.
673
00:36:37,697 --> 00:36:39,282
I didn't mean now.
674
00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:53,796
100 milligrams of methylprednisolone
is an overdose.
675
00:36:53,921 --> 00:36:55,381
We were wrong
about the infection.
676
00:36:55,506 --> 00:36:57,800
He's suffering from
a severe allergic reaction.
677
00:36:58,259 --> 00:37:00,177
The team hasn't finished
the test for allergy.
678
00:37:00,595 --> 00:37:03,222
- His symptoms don't...
- In rare cases...
679
00:37:04,098 --> 00:37:06,267
Trust me, at the end
of this conversation, I'm right.
680
00:37:06,392 --> 00:37:08,728
Then confirm it.
Get a blood test.
681
00:37:08,853 --> 00:37:12,398
What is it about this severe
and deepening coma
682
00:37:12,523 --> 00:37:13,941
that makes you think
we've got time for protocol?
683
00:37:14,066 --> 00:37:15,735
Protocol has saved your
patient from having his
684
00:37:15,860 --> 00:37:18,487
thyroid destroyed
and his blood drained.
685
00:37:18,905 --> 00:37:23,743
If you think I'm wrong, tell me I'm
wrong. Don't talk about protocol.
686
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:30,666
My job's on the line.
Your job is on the line.
687
00:37:33,711 --> 00:37:35,421
Okay, here's what you do.
688
00:37:36,172 --> 00:37:39,759
You wait three minutes,
then you call security.
689
00:37:39,884 --> 00:37:43,137
By the time they get in here
to lock me up, I'll be done.
690
00:37:43,262 --> 00:37:46,307
He gets to live. Your ass
gets to be covered.
691
00:37:52,021 --> 00:37:57,193
If he dies, let me know,
so I can pack my things.
692
00:38:47,743 --> 00:38:52,248
Tests are negative. Patient's negative
for all floral allergies.
693
00:38:54,917 --> 00:38:58,754
I'm going to restart
the antibiotics.
694
00:39:01,340 --> 00:39:03,134
If he's still alive.
695
00:39:12,852 --> 00:39:15,062
Ampicillin, two grams, IV.
696
00:39:16,689 --> 00:39:20,192
Why? The steroids worked.
House was right.
697
00:39:20,317 --> 00:39:21,318
The test was negative.
698
00:39:21,444 --> 00:39:22,778
FOREMAN: He was still right.
699
00:39:24,071 --> 00:39:25,573
It was an allergy.
700
00:39:25,698 --> 00:39:26,866
To what?
701
00:39:28,826 --> 00:39:30,036
Thank you.
702
00:39:34,206 --> 00:39:35,708
I was wrong.
703
00:39:37,418 --> 00:39:39,420
You should have stopped me.
704
00:39:43,883 --> 00:39:46,927
Heard about House's patient.
Bold move.
705
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:50,431
And you backed him.
706
00:39:50,556 --> 00:39:51,640
He was right.
707
00:39:52,391 --> 00:39:54,977
He wasn't even in
the same neighborhood as right.
708
00:39:55,102 --> 00:39:56,103
The patient's alive.
709
00:39:56,228 --> 00:40:00,024
Okay, the rules exist
because 95% of the time,
710
00:40:00,149 --> 00:40:02,651
for 95% of people,
they're the right thing to do.
711
00:40:02,777 --> 00:40:04,695
And the other 5%?
712
00:40:04,820 --> 00:40:06,405
Have to live
by the same rules.
713
00:40:06,989 --> 00:40:09,825
Because everybody thinks
they're in that 5%.
714
00:40:12,661 --> 00:40:13,662
Okay-
715
00:40:14,622 --> 00:40:16,665
I noticed that Dr. Chase...
716
00:40:37,978 --> 00:40:39,939
What are you doing out here?
717
00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:43,859
I can't sleep.
I hate the waterbed.
718
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:51,075
I actually kind of like it.
719
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,952
No, it's awful.
720
00:40:54,787 --> 00:40:56,956
We're returning it tomorrow.
721
00:40:58,207 --> 00:40:59,375
Okay-

I'm glad you got it, though.
724

Me, too.
725
00:41:18,102 --> 00:41:20,437
I hope they'll
take it back.
726
00:41:22,481 --> 00:41:23,983
They will.

you'd stop drinking.

BROCK: Of course I'm drunk, Anna.
730
00:41:37,037 --> 00:41:39,248
They told me you'd never
wake up from that coma.
731
00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:42,501
But how could you get
engaged to my sister?
732
00:41:46,839 --> 00:41:48,716
We fell in love.
733
00:41:49,717 --> 00:41:52,761
What do you want from me,
Anna? I'm just a man.

00:42:17,578 --> 00:42:18,454
Hello.
739
00:42:18,579 --> 00:42:22,458
HOUSE: Don't hang up.
What was the verdict?
740
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:23,959
$200,000 fine.
741
00:42:25,336 --> 00:42:26,795
You should have been fired.

00:42:26,921 --> 00:42:27,796
Good night, House.
743
00:42:27,922 --> 00:42:29,715
There are bubbles
in his glass.
744
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,008
Can't this wait until...
745
00:42:31,133 --> 00:42:33,969
My patient.
He's allergic to quinine.
746
00:42:37,056 --> 00:42:39,016
And you got this from bubbles?
747
00:42:39,141 --> 00:42:41,060
His symptoms started
two months ago.
748
00:42:41,185 --> 00:42:43,771
That's also when Brock
started downing gin and tonics
749
00:42:43,896 --> 00:42:46,065
like
a Brit staving off malaria.
750
00:42:47,274 --> 00:42:49,818
Gin was fake,
the tonic was real.
751

And tonic water
is loaded with quinine.
