00:08:48,821 --> 00:08:52,116
I'm late to meet Dr. Olan to brief him
on the case I'm handing over.
171
00:08:55,828 --> 00:08:57,079
Bye.
172
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,177
It doesn't bother you
that House wouldn't take
173
00:09:11,302 --> 00:09:13,179
just two seconds
to talk about the patient?
174
00:09:13,304 --> 00:09:14,597
Wilson's dealing with a lot.
175
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:15,932
And our patient may be dying.
176
00:09:16,057 --> 00:09:18,267
She was bleeding out her rear,
we're looking up her rear.
177
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:20,603
You think we needed House's expertise
to set us on this course?
178
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:22,438
Her heart rate's slow,
bleed should have made it faster.
179
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:24,690
And it can wait
till after we know where it came from.
180
00:09:24,815 --> 00:09:26,859
And after he's done
dealing with personal issues.
181
00:09:26,984 --> 00:09:28,361
Yeah?
That the way it works around here?
182
00:09:28,486 --> 00:09:31,447
We get cut slack
while we deal with personal issues?
183
00:09:33,449 --> 00:09:34,825
You're not the boss.
184
00:09:34,951 --> 00:09:39,330
Boss gets to make the rules,
boss gets to ignore...
185
00:09:40,665 --> 00:09:44,460
She's bleeding from nowhere.
186
00:09:46,545 --> 00:09:47,672
You did an endoscopy?
187
00:09:47,797 --> 00:09:48,923
And a colonoscopy.
188
00:09:49,048 --> 00:09:50,091
- CT scan?
- Ordered.
189
00:09:50,216 --> 00:09:51,884
But it shouldn't show anything
the endoscopy didn't.
190
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:54,428
- We can't do a CT scan.
- Why not?
191
00:09:54,553 --> 00:09:56,681
We don't need a CT scan,
we don't need House.
192
00:09:56,806 --> 00:09:57,932
Stop grinning and talk.
193
00:09:58,057 --> 00:10:00,142
One of the routine pre-procedure tests
was positive.
194
00:10:00,268 --> 00:10:02,311
- Which one?
- The one that if it's positive
195
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:03,896
would explain
a hormone imbalance
196
00:10:04,021 --> 00:10:06,190
that could screw
with heart rate and blood flow.
197
00:10:08,317 --> 00:10:10,736
Guess she does have a life
beyond her career.
198
00:10:12,113 --> 00:10:13,447
I'm Pregnant?
199
00:10:13,572 --> 00:10:15,032
You want to call the father?
Let him know?
200
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:18,160
Soon as you do some DNA testing,
let me know.
201
00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:21,622
Must be hard to have
a real relationship when you're...
202
00:10:21,747 --> 00:10:23,916
(CHUCKLES)
Are you making excuses for me?
203
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:25,209
I'm just saying
it's understandable.
204
00:10:25,334 --> 00:10:28,504
You only have to understand something
if it needs an explanation.
205
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:31,841
I have needs, I met my needs,
end of explanation.
206
00:10:31,966 --> 00:10:34,427
How recently were you needy?
207
00:10:34,552 --> 00:10:38,180
(SIGHS)
It's been two or three months at least.
208
00:10:39,765 --> 00:10:42,268
What? What is it?
209
00:10:42,393 --> 00:10:43,394
Nothing.
210
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,397
- Tell me.
- It's actually, nothing.
211
00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:52,737
The ultrasound
shows no trace of a baby at all.
212
00:10:54,822 --> 00:10:57,450
Positive pregnancy test,
no pregnancy.
213
00:10:58,284 --> 00:11:01,329
B12 deficit rectified,
but her heart's slowing even more.
214
00:11:01,454 --> 00:11:03,706
And a bleed should
speed her heart rate.
215
00:11:07,626 --> 00:11:10,046
House,
this is the kind of case you love,
216
00:11:10,171 --> 00:11:12,298
contradictions piling up left and right.
217
00:11:14,717 --> 00:11:16,635
Two false positive pregnancy tests,
218
00:11:16,761 --> 00:11:19,930
bradycardia,
lower GI bleed. Go.
219
00:11:20,056 --> 00:11:22,516
Choriocarcinoma,
would've triggered pregnancy hormones.
220
00:11:22,641 --> 00:11:24,226
Also would've shown on the sonogram.
221
00:11:24,352 --> 00:11:26,520
KUTNER:
lmmunoglobulin A deficiency.
222
00:11:26,645 --> 00:11:27,646
No urinary bleed.
223
00:11:27,772 --> 00:11:31,567
If she's had beta-HCG injections,
they can cross-react with...
224
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:34,362
Keep going.
225
00:11:37,323 --> 00:11:39,241
You're being an idiot.
226
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:41,786
You're gonna blow up your career,
then six months from now,
227
00:11:41,911 --> 00:11:44,163
when you've moved on
from Amber to burnt sienna,
228
00:11:44,288 --> 00:11:48,459
you're gonna be stuck on a mobile
oncology truck in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
229
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:51,796
I'd need a flow chart
to explain all the ways in which
230
00:11:51,921 --> 00:11:53,756
that was ridiculously insensitive.
231
00:11:53,881 --> 00:11:55,091
You can't hide from misery.
232
00:11:55,216 --> 00:11:56,926
This isn't your business.
233
00:11:57,051 --> 00:11:59,428
My skull was cracked open
trying to save her.
234
00:11:59,553 --> 00:12:03,682
Then we all need a little tea
and sympathy. I'm through discussing it.
235
00:12:05,101 --> 00:12:05,976
We have a patient.
236
00:12:06,102 --> 00:12:08,729
Who's obviously not going anywhere
with a bloody rectum.
237
00:12:08,854 --> 00:12:10,648
- Great to have you back.
- Actually, I'm...
238
00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:14,402
Actually, he's about to thrust a tanto
into the belly of his career.
239
00:12:14,527 --> 00:12:16,320
I'm leaving the hospital.
240
00:12:17,238 --> 00:12:18,781
I'm sorry. This is obviously
a terrible time, but...
241
00:12:18,906 --> 00:12:20,616
Why are you leaving?
242
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:22,785
I just need
a change of scenery.
243
00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:23,828
Buy a plant.
244
00:12:23,953 --> 00:12:26,247
Rectal bleeding,
two positive pregnancy tests.
245
00:12:26,372 --> 00:12:27,540
There's nothing we can do...
246
00:12:27,665 --> 00:12:30,042
You could ask House to be a grownup
and respect my decision.
247
00:12:30,167 --> 00:12:32,002
I respect things
that deserve respect.
248
00:12:32,128 --> 00:12:34,505
This decision, on the other hand,
is a dog wearing a cape.
249
00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:36,048
Hallucinations,
heart rate won't respond...
250
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:38,384
The patient tested positive
for pregnancy
251
00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:40,886
because the patient is pregnant.
252
00:12:46,517 --> 00:12:47,518
(BANGING)
253
00:12:54,567 --> 00:12:55,818
Hey, who are you?
254
00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:56,902
This is Dr. House.
255
00:12:57,027 --> 00:13:00,030
He's too brilliant for introductions.
False positive.
256
00:13:00,156 --> 00:13:02,533
You're too busy to be running
a day care center in your abdomen.
257
00:13:02,658 --> 00:13:04,201
False positive.
258
00:13:04,326 --> 00:13:06,495
Not to mention, you should wait
till at least 30 to punish
259
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:09,623
that pleasure portal
with a seven-pound tissue expander.
260
00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:13,002
I'm 37.
And I thought I wasn't pregnant.
261
00:13:13,752 --> 00:13:17,214
Thirty-seven? Impressive.
262
00:13:18,841 --> 00:13:21,552
Too bad you're not
passing on those genes.
263
00:13:23,012 --> 00:13:25,014
Does that look false to you?
264
00:13:25,890 --> 00:13:27,892
You were looking
in the wrong room.
265
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,811
It's more common
when the egg lands in the oven,
266
00:13:30,936 --> 00:13:32,563
sometimes it winds up
in the fallopian tubes,
267
00:13:32,688 --> 00:13:35,900
in rare cases, it plummets through
the plumbing entirely.
268
00:13:36,025 --> 00:13:37,943
It's using her intestine
as a blood supply.
269
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:42,781
Caused the rectal bleed,
and now Junior Miss Steinem's junior
270
00:13:42,907 --> 00:13:46,744
must be pressing on her vagus nerve,
slowing her heart to a crawl.
271
00:13:46,869 --> 00:13:50,623
Yank the fetus. If she survives
the surgery, she'll be fine.
272
00:14:00,883 --> 00:14:03,594
What if she wants
to keep the baby?
273
00:14:03,719 --> 00:14:04,720
She doesn't.
274
00:14:04,845 --> 00:14:06,722
We can't take two seconds
to discuss this?
275
00:14:06,847 --> 00:14:08,516
I mean, fetuses have been
transplanted before,
276
00:14:08,641 --> 00:14:10,184
whole uteruses, too.
277
00:14:10,309 --> 00:14:12,937
Just terminating the fetus
when it's glued to her intestines
278
00:14:13,062 --> 00:14:16,232
is high-risk surgery,
saving it is a fantasy.
279
00:14:16,357 --> 00:14:18,651
That was at least three seconds.
280
00:14:18,776 --> 00:14:21,278
She's a 37-year old woman
who deserves...
281
00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:22,821
People get what they get,
282
00:14:22,947 --> 00:14:25,115
it has nothing to do
with what they deserve.
283
00:14:25,241 --> 00:14:26,909
And this has nothing to do
with her genitalia
284
00:14:27,034 --> 00:14:29,078
and everything to do
with your genetics.
285
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:30,538
You told me to get tested.
286
00:14:30,663 --> 00:14:31,664
I didn't know
it was gonna color
287
00:14:31,789 --> 00:14:33,707
your every medical opinion,
every personal opinion.
288
00:14:33,832 --> 00:14:35,125
You didn't think
a death sentence would...
289
00:14:35,251 --> 00:14:39,880
People die.
You, Amber, everyone.
290
00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:42,675
Don't act like you
just figured that out.
291
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,303
I gave you a diagnosis, you don't
like it, there are exits on every floor.
292
00:14:52,184 --> 00:14:54,019
(DOOR OPENING)
293
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:02,236
(SIGHS)
294
00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:07,950
I'm sorry to be
so definitive about this.
295
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:11,662
I know you're still absorbing the news,
but we have no choice but to...
296
00:15:11,787 --> 00:15:14,248
Remove the fetus, absolutely.
297
00:15:15,791 --> 00:15:18,210
I have no boyfriend,
no husband,
298
00:15:18,335 --> 00:15:21,005
I'm on the road with Patty
all the time.
299
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:24,133
Where do I sign?
300
00:15:24,258 --> 00:15:25,884
Oh!
301
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:31,473
Feel any tenderness back here?
302
00:15:31,599 --> 00:15:33,100
No, not at all.
303
00:15:34,685 --> 00:15:37,313
So you're treating
professional sports injuries now?
304
00:15:37,438 --> 00:15:38,397
No, I'm not...
305
00:15:38,522 --> 00:15:40,316
Familiar with the concept of sarcasm.
306
00:15:40,441 --> 00:15:43,402
Don't sweat it, it's new.
Have you spoken to Wilson?
307
00:15:43,527 --> 00:15:45,195
We'll get you an EKG.
I'll be right back.
308
00:15:45,321 --> 00:15:47,364
You want me to sleep with him
to get him to stay?
309
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:50,993
I put the bisexual chick on that,
but if you'd like to sit in,
310
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,786
- so to speak.
- I spoke to him.
311
00:15:52,911 --> 00:15:53,829
What did you tell him?
312
00:15:53,954 --> 00:15:56,415
I didn't tell him anything.
I listened.
313
00:15:56,540 --> 00:15:58,876
So you could feel good
about doing nothing.
314
00:15:59,001 --> 00:16:00,669
- Tell him...
- I am not your errand girl,
315
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:02,504
the best thing
about leaving you.
316
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:04,715
The two of you
used to be together?
317
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,718
She dumped me when I lost
the last 85 pounds.
318
00:16:08,719 --> 00:16:10,971
Said there was
less of me to love.
319
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:12,723
Grief means different things
to different people,
320
00:16:12,848 --> 00:16:15,225
case in point,
means very little to you.
321
00:16:15,351 --> 00:16:16,894
Grief is Newark.
322
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:19,813
Okay, it's there, you can't avoid it,
but the idea is to hold your nose,
323
00:16:19,938 --> 00:16:20,981
hope the traffic's
not too bad
324
00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:24,151
and get on to Manhattan as quickly
as possible, not to buy property.
325
00:16:24,276 --> 00:16:25,986
You think that's
facing up to things?
326
00:16:26,111 --> 00:16:27,029
I'm not the one
who's quitting.
327
00:16:27,154 --> 00:16:28,656
'Cause you haven't lost anything.
328
00:16:28,781 --> 00:16:31,617
But you have.
He'll listen to you.
329
00:16:31,742 --> 00:16:34,662
What did you do
when your husband died?
330
00:16:34,787 --> 00:16:36,705
I got a new job,
and I moved.
331
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:41,043
See how crappy
that worked out.
332
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:50,302
CHASE: Separating the placenta
from the wall of the large intestine.
333
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:53,889
Sponge.
Suction, we got some bleeding.
334
00:16:54,014 --> 00:16:54,890

335
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:57,059

a harmless pocket of blood,
507
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:20,645
which is why Chase ignored it
during the surgery.
508
00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:24,149
Could be a ganglioma, which is
why Chase shouldn't have ignored it.
509
00:25:24,274 --> 00:25:26,026
If it's an abnormal growth of nerves,
510
00:25:26,151 --> 00:25:28,403
it could be causing
all the patient's symptoms.
511
00:25:29,863 --> 00:25:32,157
We have to open her up again,
get a piece of it.
512
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:39,414
So what do you
want to tell us?
513
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:40,832
Nothing.
514
00:25:40,957 --> 00:25:44,044
Nothing I say is gonna change anything.
You guys need to talk.
515
00:25:44,169 --> 00:25:46,630
Actually, you should read
the latest psych literature,
516
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:48,548
repression's gaining
a lot of fans.
517
00:25:48,673 --> 00:25:50,133
What you don't face
can't crush you.
518
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:51,593
Talk to each other.
519
00:25:51,718 --> 00:25:53,261
(SIGHS)
520
00:25:53,970 --> 00:25:55,013
How you doing? Good?
521
00:25:55,138 --> 00:25:56,598
Fine. Thanks.
522
00:25:57,724 --> 00:25:59,476
(EXCLAIMS)
Sit.
523
00:26:01,645 --> 00:26:04,147
See, the two of you are friends,
look how you both...
524
00:26:04,272 --> 00:26:05,690
Think you're an idiot.
525
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:08,568
We both also eat with forks,
that doesn't really prove...
526
00:26:08,693 --> 00:26:12,155
Talk to him. Tell him how you feel
about what he's doing.
527
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,490
I told him
he's an idiot.
528
00:26:13,615 --> 00:26:15,867
Tell him what you think
about him leaving.
529
00:26:15,992 --> 00:26:16,952
I think he's an idiot.
530
00:26:17,077 --> 00:26:17,953
CUDDY: You're an idiot.
531
00:26:18,078 --> 00:26:21,039
He's in pain, and your response
is just to emotionally blackmail him.
532
00:26:21,164 --> 00:26:22,999
You told me
what your position is on that one.
533
00:26:23,124 --> 00:26:24,209
You're against it, right?
534
00:26:24,334 --> 00:26:27,712
She hasn't told you in front of me.
She needs to prove she's on my side.
535
00:26:27,837 --> 00:26:29,256
Go to hell.
536
00:26:29,381 --> 00:26:30,799
So much for that theory.
537
00:26:30,924 --> 00:26:32,550
I'm sorry you lost Amber.
538
00:26:32,676 --> 00:26:34,678
I cannot imagine what it is
you're going through,
539
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:36,137
but it will not get better
540
00:26:36,263 --> 00:26:39,266
by you walking away
from everyone that cares about you.
541
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:42,936
Do you think Amber
would want you to walk away?
542
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:45,814
Nobody at this hospital
even liked Amber.
543
00:26:53,905 --> 00:26:55,240
Same time next week?
544
00:27:00,495 --> 00:27:04,249
You want me to do a second
major surgery on a patient
545
00:27:04,374 --> 00:27:07,002
we almost lost
during a first major surgery
546
00:27:07,127 --> 00:27:09,671
to see if she needs
a third major surgery?
547
00:27:09,796 --> 00:27:11,172
We need a piece
of the ganglioma.
548
00:27:11,298 --> 00:27:13,508
Then you're talking
about another patient,
549
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:15,135
yours doesn't
have a ganglioma.
550
00:27:15,260 --> 00:27:17,137
And if there is one
and you missed it?
551
00:27:17,262 --> 00:27:20,223
Then you're talking about
another surgeon, I didn't miss anything.
552
00:27:20,348 --> 00:27:22,100
But we're not talking
about another videotape,
553
00:27:22,225 --> 00:27:24,144
this one showed a bump,
we need to biopsy it.
554
00:27:24,269 --> 00:27:28,523
A bump? Oh, yeah,
my grandfather died of a bump.
555
00:27:30,317 --> 00:27:34,321
She can't survive a second round of
general anesthesia, let alone a third.
556
00:27:34,446 --> 00:27:36,698
You'd do this for House.
557
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:37,824
Yeah.
558
00:27:37,949 --> 00:27:38,867
Then what do you suggest?
559
00:27:38,992 --> 00:27:41,411
Because the patient's got
a high fever, a low heart rate,
560
00:27:41,536 --> 00:27:44,622
and a dim chance of survival
if we stand here like idiots.
561
00:27:44,748 --> 00:27:47,709
Then I suggest
you don't stand there like idiots.
562
00:27:50,253 --> 00:27:54,507
How do you get coal out of a mountain
when it's someone else's mountain?
563
00:27:54,632 --> 00:27:56,634
If we don't have House,
doesn't mean we can't think like House.
564
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,137
But it does mean
we don't have to talk like him.
565
00:27:59,262 --> 00:28:01,598
You don't dig down.
You go in from the side.
566
00:28:01,723 --> 00:28:03,266
We insert a lighted scope
through the rectum,
567
00:28:03,391 --> 00:28:05,310
move the intestine
till we find the ganglioma,
568
00:28:05,435 --> 00:28:08,855
then push it to the surface.
Where we see the light, we cut.
569
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:15,362
We'll make as small
an incision as we can,
570
00:28:15,487 --> 00:28:18,073
but unfortunately
it'll be very painful.
571
00:28:18,198 --> 00:28:20,575
After your surgery experience,
we can't give you anesthesia...
572
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:21,951
Can I talk to Dr. House?
573
00:28:23,411 --> 00:28:24,537
No.
574
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,082
We can do this,
we know what we're doing.
575
00:28:27,207 --> 00:28:28,500
I don't mean
to be insulting,
576
00:28:28,625 --> 00:28:32,295
but my former boss didn't insist on me
coming here because of you or...
577
00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:33,713
Your former boss?
578
00:28:33,838 --> 00:28:35,840
I've been replaced.
579
00:28:38,134 --> 00:28:40,678
- I'm sorry. I mean, you must be...
- I'm fine.
580
00:28:41,221 --> 00:28:42,806
She has a big Beijing trip,
581
00:28:42,931 --> 00:28:46,101
ton of work to do, she can't just wait
for me to get better.
582
00:28:48,561 --> 00:28:51,398
We've been well trained,
we'll take good care of you.
583
00:28:57,946 --> 00:29:00,698
How can you let her
treat you like a footstool?
584
00:29:01,658 --> 00:29:03,159
The world needs flunkies.
585
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:05,578
Don't say that,
you're better than that.
586
00:29:05,703 --> 00:29:07,789
I have no problem with it.
Why do you?
587
00:29:08,832 --> 00:29:11,418
Because life is short.
588
00:29:11,543 --> 00:29:13,711
I mean,
yours could've ended in that surgery.
589
00:29:13,837 --> 00:29:17,882
You'd have never lived for yourself.
What kind of feminist...
590
00:29:18,007 --> 00:29:20,301
- We can have anything.
- No, we can't.
591
00:29:22,137 --> 00:29:27,684
We can aspire to anything. But we
don't get it just because we want it.
592
00:29:28,893 --> 00:29:31,521
I would rather spend my life
close to the birds
593
00:29:31,646 --> 00:29:34,357
than waste it
wishing I had wings.
594
00:29:44,826 --> 00:29:47,328
FOREMAN: You're through the sigmoid,
into the descending colon.
595
00:29:47,454 --> 00:29:48,913
Switching on the light.
596
00:29:49,038 --> 00:29:51,249
Advance toward
the anastomosis.
597
00:29:53,251 --> 00:29:55,128
That's it.
598
00:29:55,253 --> 00:29:57,839
Push the wall of the intestine
toward the skin.
599
00:30:02,719 --> 00:30:04,762
There, I see it.
600
00:30:06,139 --> 00:30:07,849
Don't look down.
601
00:30:08,391 --> 00:30:09,893
Scalpel.
602
00:30:25,116 --> 00:30:26,910
So your last day is Friday?
603
00:30:27,535 --> 00:30:29,412
I'm gonna miss you.
604
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:31,915
You shouldn't go.
605
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,626
Did House ask you to talk to me?
Or are you trying to save the patient,
606
00:30:34,751 --> 00:30:36,669
- because there'll always be another...
- House asked me.
607
00:30:36,794 --> 00:30:39,464
- And you're doing it?
- I told him to go to hell.
608
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:42,258
Thanks.
609
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:43,843
But I think he's right.
610
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:53,811
You think you're making a rational
choice. You think the worst is over,
611
00:30:53,937 --> 00:30:59,234
and then six months later,
you look back and you realize
612
00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:01,027
you didn't know
what you were doing.
613
00:31:01,152 --> 00:31:03,154
Are you saying the pain
doesn't go away?
614
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:04,280
It gets easier.
615
00:31:04,405 --> 00:31:07,951
Not in two months.
Not in two years.
616
00:31:08,076 --> 00:31:11,913
But, no, it never
really goes away.
617
00:31:12,038 --> 00:31:16,042
Being here,
in this building...
618
00:31:16,167 --> 00:31:18,461
I was just in the lounge,
I kept staring at Amber's locker.
619
00:31:18,586 --> 00:31:20,755
I saw a guy
wearing a scarf this morning.
620
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,341
The color reminded me of his eyes.
621
00:31:23,633 --> 00:31:26,010
We lived 500 miles from here.
622
00:31:27,554 --> 00:31:28,930
I have to do something.
623
00:31:29,055 --> 00:31:30,348
Then do it.
624
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:38,731
But don't think it's the right choice,
because there isn't one.
625
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,404
It's not a ganglioma,
the problem wasn't the surgery.
626
00:31:44,529 --> 00:31:46,906
Abnormally deposited proteins.
It's amyloidosis.
627
00:31:47,031 --> 00:31:49,158
It would explain the blinking
and the low heart rate.
628
00:31:49,284 --> 00:31:51,744
The only way to treat amyloidosis
is to treat whatever's causing it.
629
00:31:51,869 --> 00:31:55,540
It's not as if a lot of things
cause amyloid, rheumatoid arthritis.
630
00:31:55,665 --> 00:31:57,000
Familial Mediterranean fever.
631
00:31:57,125 --> 00:31:58,042
Lymphoma.
632
00:31:58,167 --> 00:31:59,419
Well, we can't all be right.
633
00:31:59,544 --> 00:32:02,463
But you can all be wrong.
Patient's joints don't hurt,
634
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:04,090
abdominal pain went away
when the fetus did,
635
00:32:04,215 --> 00:32:05,592
and no palpable lymph nodes.
636
00:32:05,717 --> 00:32:07,260
Got anything
constructive to say?
637
00:32:07,385 --> 00:32:08,636
Sorry. Sorry.
638
00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:11,514
She has lots and lots
of palpable lymph nodes,
639
00:32:11,639 --> 00:32:14,100
joint and abdominal pain,
she'll be better by dinner time.
640
00:32:14,225 --> 00:32:16,144
If we don't find
the cause of the amyloidosis,
641
00:32:16,269 --> 00:32:19,689
we never get her off that wire,
she never walks out of this hospital.
642
00:32:21,149 --> 00:32:25,570
But, hey, who needs House?
So glad we lost those training wheels.
643
00:32:30,033 --> 00:32:32,368
You want me to
make the call?
644
00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:34,412
There seems to be
some disagreement.
645
00:32:34,537 --> 00:32:37,665
And this isn't just a pretext
to pressure me into staying?
646
00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:40,084
Does it look
like a pretext?
647
00:32:40,209 --> 00:32:41,336
No.
648
00:32:42,003 --> 00:32:43,838
She really is dying,
isn't she?
649
00:32:46,049 --> 00:32:51,346
Inflammation, enlarged nuclei, some
mitotic activity. It could be lymphoma.
650
00:32:51,471 --> 00:32:52,847
There are no palpable
lymph nodes.
651
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:55,600
Makes it less likely,
but doesn't rule it out.
652
00:32:56,976 --> 00:32:59,187
I'm an oncologist,
I see cancer.
653
00:32:59,312 --> 00:33:01,439
Show it to an immunologist,
they'll see autoimmune.
654
00:33:01,564 --> 00:33:04,567
I already showed it
to an immunologist.
655
00:33:04,692 --> 00:33:06,444
We'll start her on chemo.
656
00:33:08,738 --> 00:33:10,281
You should leave.
657
00:33:10,782 --> 00:33:12,950
House doesn't want
to lose his sidekick.
658
00:33:13,076 --> 00:33:15,286
Cuddy doesn't want
to lose her check on House.
659
00:33:15,411 --> 00:33:18,039
No one's talking
about what you want.
660
00:33:18,164 --> 00:33:19,791
It's not that I want to.
661
00:33:19,916 --> 00:33:21,793
Want to, need to.
662
00:33:22,752 --> 00:33:24,587
If there's any chance
that being away from here
663
00:33:24,712 --> 00:33:28,591
will make your life
even a little bit easier, do it.
664
00:33:29,550 --> 00:33:31,678
That's what everyone else here would do.
665
00:33:50,988 --> 00:33:53,199
Don't expect anything
to change too fast.
666
00:33:53,324 --> 00:33:54,826
Lymphoma was your idea?
667
00:33:56,244 --> 00:33:57,161
Why?
668
00:33:57,286 --> 00:33:58,663
I feel better.
669
00:33:59,539 --> 00:34:01,749
Sometimes just knowing
you're being treated helps.
670
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:03,459
You've given me 18 different treatments,
671
00:34:03,584 --> 00:34:06,504
this is the first one
that made me feel better.
672
00:34:06,629 --> 00:34:08,715
I don't think
it's psychological.
673
00:34:10,091 --> 00:34:11,300
Thank you.
674
00:34:13,428 --> 00:34:14,721
I'm sorry.
675
00:34:16,013 --> 00:34:17,724
I shouldn't have
gotten angry at you.
676
00:34:17,849 --> 00:34:19,976
Your choices
are your choices.
677
00:34:21,352 --> 00:34:22,645
You're not like me.
678
00:34:25,189 --> 00:34:27,233
Maybe you have wings.
679
00:34:35,324 --> 00:34:37,285
I have Huntington's Chorea.
680
00:34:39,537 --> 00:34:44,584
Dozen years or so,
my nervous system, my cognitive skills,
681
00:34:44,709 --> 00:34:48,254
even my emotional balance,
they'll all start to fray.
682
00:34:49,589 --> 00:34:54,010
I won't be able to fly,
I won't be able to walk,
683
00:34:54,927 --> 00:34:57,054
I won't be able to breathe.
684
00:34:59,515 --> 00:35:02,226
And you want to make sure
your life matters?
685
00:35:03,978 --> 00:35:09,984
I don't want to just be tightening bolts
and following instructions.
686
00:35:10,109 --> 00:35:16,491
I want something to be different
because of me.
687
00:35:17,617 --> 00:35:18,910
I am.
688
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:23,664
Not just 'cause
you saved my life.
689
00:35:26,167 --> 00:35:31,422
I'm applying for a job at a foundation.
Running the finance division.
690
00:35:32,924 --> 00:35:34,467
I mean, I don't know if
I'm gonna get it,
691
00:35:34,592 --> 00:35:39,263
but if I don't,
there are other foundations.
692
00:35:41,140 --> 00:35:42,266
(SIGHS)
693
00:35:46,229 --> 00:35:49,106
It's almost 4:00.
Soap time.
694
00:35:49,232 --> 00:35:50,066
(GASPS)
695
00:35:51,859 --> 00:35:54,695
Nurses' remote,
works in the doctors' lounge.
696
00:35:54,821 --> 00:35:56,906
Why do you think
Wilson's leaving?
697
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:02,662
How many times
do I have to use the word "idiot"?
698
00:36:02,787 --> 00:36:04,413
And that's
a good enough answer for you?
699
00:36:04,539 --> 00:36:06,249
Whenever anyone does
anything out of the norm,
700
00:36:06,374 --> 00:36:10,169
you have to tell them what screwed-up
process is really at work in their head.
701
00:36:10,294 --> 00:36:12,338
That's why I locked
the two of you in a room,
702
00:36:12,463 --> 00:36:14,966
so you would say
something stupid and insensitive
703
00:36:15,091 --> 00:36:17,176
and maybe
with a little bit of truth.
704
00:36:17,885 --> 00:36:19,720
But you didn't.
705
00:36:20,137 --> 00:36:23,808
So I can only assume
that you don't want to know the reason.
706
00:36:23,933 --> 00:36:25,810
You're afraid to know.
707
00:36:28,729 --> 00:36:30,773
You're not listening to me,
are you?
708
00:36:31,607 --> 00:36:34,402
Try it sometime,
you'll see why.
709
00:36:43,536 --> 00:36:44,662
You look 37.
710
00:36:44,787 --> 00:36:46,289
I am 37.
711
00:36:47,456 --> 00:36:49,750
You looked 27 last week.
712
00:36:50,084 --> 00:36:52,336
Unless I blacked out for 10 years,
your skin...
713
00:36:52,461 --> 00:36:54,672
She has got lymphoma,
chemo's probably...
714
00:36:54,797 --> 00:36:56,716
- Stop the chemo.
- She's getting better.
715
00:36:56,841 --> 00:36:58,009
Bradycardia's improving,
we didn't...
716
00:36:58,134 --> 00:36:59,343
She have bruising?
717
00:36:59,468 --> 00:37:02,305
She was pounding her legs
during the hallucinations.
718
00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:04,390
It's not lymphoma.
719
00:37:05,266 --> 00:37:07,101
Hey, don't...
No, no, no.
720
00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:10,396
(GROANING)
721
00:37:10,521 --> 00:37:13,524
My bad.
Thought "no" meant "yes".
722
00:37:15,151 --> 00:37:18,446
Those aren't bruises,
they're mycobacterial lesions.
723
00:37:18,571 --> 00:37:21,449
She has diffuse lepromatous leprosy,
724
00:37:21,574 --> 00:37:24,952
must've caught it on
one of her overseas estrogen tours.
725
00:37:25,077 --> 00:37:28,331
Chemo wipes out some of the bacteria,
she feels a little better,
726
00:37:28,456 --> 00:37:31,208
wipes out most of her immune system,
she gets a whole lot worse.
727
00:37:31,334 --> 00:37:34,795
Leprosy?
Like where my limbs fall off?
728
00:37:34,921 --> 00:37:38,466
Actually, this is the flattering one.
It's also known as "pretty leprosy".
729
00:37:38,591 --> 00:37:41,886
Doesn't disfigure,
makes your skin look younger, smoother.
730
00:37:42,011 --> 00:37:45,056
Don't let the girls hear,
they'll all want to lick your face.
731
00:37:45,181 --> 00:37:48,059
Unless you're that kind of feminist.
732
00:37:48,851 --> 00:37:52,855
Blast her with antibiotics
and prednisone, she'll be fine.
733
00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:55,733
Damn, it's after 4:00.
I'm late.
734
00:37:58,194 --> 00:37:59,695
- Damn.
- What?
735
00:38:00,613 --> 00:38:02,323
She's happy
you're gonna be fine,
736
00:38:02,448 --> 00:38:06,160
but she'd be happier if you were
gonna be fine five minutes ago.
737
00:38:13,542 --> 00:38:16,128
Test confirmed
Dr. House's diagnosis.
738
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:18,923
Thank God.
739
00:38:20,216 --> 00:38:22,301
When you got pregnant,
740
00:38:22,426 --> 00:38:25,513
the physical stress
triggered e-nodosum leprosum,
741
00:38:25,638 --> 00:38:28,057
a common complication of leprosy.
742
00:38:28,182 --> 00:38:31,811
Inflamed the nerves to your heart,
made it hard to absorb vitamins,
743
00:38:31,936 --> 00:38:35,398
scarred your fallopian tubes.
It explains everything.
744
00:38:37,316 --> 00:38:40,361
Better prescribe me
some skin cream, too, huh?
745
00:38:40,486 --> 00:38:43,030
You might want it
for those job interviews.
746
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:48,035
I'm going back on the road with Patty.
My replacement flamed out.
747
00:38:50,204 --> 00:38:54,709
She says I can manage some projects
on my own, carve out more of a role.
748
00:38:54,834 --> 00:38:57,670
Do you really think she can change?
749
00:38:57,795 --> 00:38:59,588
I don't know.
750
00:39:01,382 --> 00:39:03,968
The truth is I'm not sure I...
751
00:39:04,093 --> 00:39:05,219
You can change.
752
00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:07,013
No.
753
00:39:08,264 --> 00:39:10,850
I'm not sure
I want her to change.
754
00:39:12,685 --> 00:39:15,396
If she's reasonable,
if she's just another employer,
755
00:39:15,521 --> 00:39:20,151
then I'm just another employee.
756
00:39:23,487 --> 00:39:25,740
In a weird way, I matter.
757
00:39:30,828 --> 00:39:34,623
I like you better now
that you're dying.
758
00:39:35,166 --> 00:39:36,625
I was wrong.
759
00:39:36,751 --> 00:39:40,421
You took a shot.
760
00:39:40,546 --> 00:39:44,759
She's going back to work for that idiot.
It's pathetic.
761
00:39:45,676 --> 00:39:47,511
You thought something would change?
762
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:52,850
She almost died because of that job.
Yeah, I thought...
763
00:39:53,768 --> 00:39:55,936
Almost dying changes nothing.
764
00:40:00,775 --> 00:40:02,902
Dying changes everything.
765
00:40:30,304 --> 00:40:34,683
I'm sorry.
I know I didn't try to kill her,
766
00:40:34,809 --> 00:40:39,980
I know I didn't want her hurt,
I know it was a freak accident,
767
00:40:41,982 --> 00:40:45,444
but I feel like crap,
and she's dead because of me.
768
00:40:47,363 --> 00:40:49,073
I don't blame you.
769
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:53,160
I wanted to. I tried to.
770
00:40:53,285 --> 00:40:56,956
I must've reviewed Amber's case file
a hundred times to find a way...
771
00:40:58,916 --> 00:41:00,626
But it wasn't your fault.
772
00:41:04,296 --> 00:41:05,840
Then we're okay?
773
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:12,888
I mean, I know you're not,
but maybe I can help.
774
00:41:13,013 --> 00:41:14,598
We're not okay.
775
00:41:16,267 --> 00:41:18,602
Amber was never the reason
I was leaving.
776
00:41:19,687 --> 00:41:21,355
I didn't want
to tell you because...
777
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,690
(CHUCKLES)
778
00:41:24,733 --> 00:41:30,030
Because I was trying,
like I always do, to protect you,
779
00:41:31,866 --> 00:41:33,117
which is the problem.
780
00:41:34,952 --> 00:41:38,998
You spread misery
because you can't feel anything else.
781
00:41:39,123 --> 00:41:43,002
You manipulate people because you can't
handle any kind of real relationship.
782
00:41:43,127 --> 00:41:48,424
And I've enabled it for years,
the games, the binges,
783
00:41:48,549 --> 00:41:51,093
the middle-of-the-night phone calls.
784
00:41:53,429 --> 00:41:55,890
I should have been the one
on the bus, not...
785
00:41:59,435 --> 00:42:01,937
You should have been alone on the bus.
786
00:42:03,314 --> 00:42:07,067
If I've learned anything from Amber,
it's that I have to take care of myself.
787
00:42:12,448 --> 00:42:14,325
We're not friends anymore,
House.
788
00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:19,914
I'm not sure we ever were.
