1
00:00:24,984 --> 00:00:28,530
I still can't believe
you talked me into this.
2
00:00:28,655 --> 00:00:30,949
(CHUCKLING) Come on, honey,
you're gonna throw him off.
3
00:00:31,074 --> 00:00:33,451
It's okay,
I'm almost done.
4
00:00:34,619 --> 00:00:35,704
(SIGHS)
5
00:00:35,829 --> 00:00:38,081
A little more light
on your hips.
6
00:00:38,206 --> 00:00:39,165
God.
7
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:41,793
Why couldn't you have come up with this
before I had two kids?
8
00:00:41,918 --> 00:00:44,921
(CHUCKLING)
You look amazing.
9
00:00:46,673 --> 00:00:51,553
Okay, I think... Yeah, I'm done.
Want to come take a look?
10
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:53,972
(CHUCKLES)
11
00:00:58,309 --> 00:00:59,561
(SIGHS) I can't.
12
00:00:59,686 --> 00:01:00,854
(BOTH LAUGHING)
13
00:01:00,979 --> 00:01:02,021
You first.
14
00:01:02,147 --> 00:01:03,690
No, we'll look together.
15
00:01:11,614 --> 00:01:13,658
I don't understand.
I thought...
16
00:01:13,783 --> 00:01:14,743
What the hell is that?
17
00:01:14,868 --> 00:01:16,077
Honey, it's okay.
18
00:01:16,202 --> 00:01:18,121
This is not what we discussed,
or what I paid for.
19
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:20,749
I don't understand. I think
this is one of the best I've ever done.
20
00:01:20,874 --> 00:01:21,875
I want my money back.
21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,586
I'm sorry, but this is not
some department store photo studio.
22
00:01:24,711 --> 00:01:26,337
And this is not my wife.
23
00:01:26,463 --> 00:01:27,505
Yes, it is.
24
00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:32,051
You asked me to paint her exactly
as she looks. That's exactly what I did.
25
00:01:32,969 --> 00:01:34,679
Honey! Stop it!
26
00:01:34,804 --> 00:01:36,723
What's going on?
Brandon.
27
00:01:36,848 --> 00:01:41,311
That check better be in my mailbox
by Friday, or I'll be back.
28
00:01:42,937 --> 00:01:44,314
Come on.
29
00:01:44,898 --> 00:01:47,066
- What happened?
- I don't know.
30
00:01:47,192 --> 00:01:49,819
They saw the painting,
and they just freaked out.
31
00:01:53,573 --> 00:01:54,824
Brandon, what is this?
32
00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:56,785
What do you mean?
It's her portrait.
33
00:01:58,495 --> 00:01:59,913
What's wrong with it?
34
00:02:41,204 --> 00:02:42,497
Why is this in here?
35
00:02:42,622 --> 00:02:44,249
First column,
last entry.
36
00:02:46,292 --> 00:02:48,628
Today is going
to be a good day.
37
00:02:53,383 --> 00:02:54,384
This him?
38
00:02:54,509 --> 00:02:56,094
- No.
- Yes.
39
00:02:56,886 --> 00:02:58,888
She means,
are you the private investigator
40
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,724
whose bills I've tried
to slip through as medical expenses?
41
00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:04,477
Oh. Hi.
I'm Lucas Douglas, Pl.
42
00:03:04,602 --> 00:03:07,564
This hospital is not putting
a private investigator on retainer,
43
00:03:07,689 --> 00:03:08,982
nor is it going to pay
any more
44
00:03:09,107 --> 00:03:11,025
phony repairs
on vending machines,
45
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:12,694
cryostats, or elevators.
46
00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:15,363
Information saves lives.
Saving lives saves money.
47
00:03:15,488 --> 00:03:17,782
No, saving lives
costs money,
48
00:03:17,907 --> 00:03:20,994
which is why I'm trying to make sure
there's still some left.
49
00:03:21,119 --> 00:03:22,662
You want
your own personal Pl,
50
00:03:22,787 --> 00:03:25,415
you're gonna have
to pay for him yourself.
51
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:27,292
- Sorry.
- No, I understand.
52
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:29,502
Hey, I like the shoes,
by the way.
53
00:03:30,003 --> 00:03:30,962
Oh.
54
00:03:32,797 --> 00:03:34,257
Thank you.
55
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:39,554
You don't like her shoes,
you like her legs.
56
00:03:39,679 --> 00:03:41,848
It sounds less creepy
if you say shoes.
57
00:03:41,973 --> 00:03:43,766
Less creepy, more gay.
58
00:03:43,892 --> 00:03:45,393
That's my firm's motto.
59
00:03:46,477 --> 00:03:47,937
What is a cryostat?
60
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:52,942
No idea. Whoever fixed ours
is about to get stiffed.
61
00:04:05,121 --> 00:04:08,249
There's no distorted perspective
in any of his other recent works.
62
00:04:08,374 --> 00:04:09,792
Not much talent either.
63
00:04:09,918 --> 00:04:11,878
It's like the symptom
just came on.
64
00:04:12,003 --> 00:04:14,756
Acute onset visual agnosia
points to a stroke or brain tumor.
65
00:04:14,881 --> 00:04:16,799
TAUB: MRI revealed
no stroke or brain tumor.
66
00:04:16,925 --> 00:04:18,176
We should do another
with contrast.
67
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:19,761
If he's like the other
struggling artists I've known,
68
00:04:19,886 --> 00:04:20,887
he's also into drugs.
69
00:04:21,012 --> 00:04:23,514
We should...
What are you looking at?
70
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,058
Apparently a moron.
71
00:04:25,183 --> 00:04:27,810
One, ER routinely tests for drugs.
72
00:04:27,936 --> 00:04:29,938
If it was positive,
we wouldn't be looking at this file.
73
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:34,108
Two, who pays 12% interest
on a car loan?
74
00:04:34,233 --> 00:04:36,527
How did you...
Did you run a credit check on me?
75
00:04:36,653 --> 00:04:38,196
No, that would be illegal.
76
00:04:38,321 --> 00:04:41,407
Interestingly enough, paying someone
to run it for me, though...
77
00:04:41,532 --> 00:04:42,367
(SCOFFS)
78
00:04:45,203 --> 00:04:46,913
What?
It's part of my job.
79
00:04:47,038 --> 00:04:48,414
Your job
is to diagnose patients.
80
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:49,540
Which I do with a team.
81
00:04:49,666 --> 00:04:52,418
How am I supposed to know
how best to utilize that team
82
00:04:52,543 --> 00:04:54,712
if I don't know
everything about them?
83
00:04:54,837 --> 00:04:57,840
Say that Van Gogh turns out
to have neurosyphilis,
84
00:04:57,966 --> 00:05:00,385
and our last vial of penicillin
is in a storeroom
85
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:03,805
at the end of a 20-mile hallway
with a two-foot-high ceiling.
86
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:06,140
You've discovered that one of us
has been hiding the ability
87
00:05:06,265 --> 00:05:08,142
to stretch or
shrink themselves?
88
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:11,854
No, I would never
out someone's superpowers.
89
00:05:12,814 --> 00:05:14,524
This, on the other hand...
90
00:05:17,151 --> 00:05:19,195
You crawled 20 miles?
91
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,863
My name's
in the Guinness Book.
92
00:05:20,989 --> 00:05:22,740
I'll bet that
really impresses the babes.
93
00:05:22,865 --> 00:05:24,617
I didn't do it
to get the babes.
94
00:05:24,742 --> 00:05:27,245
No, that would cheapen
the purity of your achievement.
95
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:30,206
Sorry to interrupt, but we have
a patient with a probable brain tumor.
96
00:05:30,331 --> 00:05:33,042
Who needs an MRI with contrast.
We've established that.
97
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:34,877
What do you got on Taub?
98
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,088
I got nothing on Taub.
99
00:05:37,213 --> 00:05:38,131
THIRTEEN:
Could also be environmental.
100
00:05:38,256 --> 00:05:40,425
We should check his studio
for toxins, mold, fungus...
101
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:41,759
Taub's wife,
on the other hand...
102
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:42,760
FOREMAN: House.
103
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:44,929
That's enough.
104
00:05:46,597 --> 00:05:49,058
Dad's right.
This is no time for gossip.
105
00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:51,519
Patient desperately needs our help.
106
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,063
Check his head
and his house.
107
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,107
- Can't Lucas...
- No.
108
00:05:56,232 --> 00:05:57,608
He's very busy.
109
00:05:59,861 --> 00:06:01,487
FOREMAN: If there is a tumor,
this test will show us...
110
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:02,822
Is that stuff dangerous?
111
00:06:02,947 --> 00:06:04,907
This is just
the contrast material.
112
00:06:05,616 --> 00:06:08,953
There is a small risk
of an anaphylactic reaction.
113
00:06:09,871 --> 00:06:11,080
I could stop breathing?
114
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,583
Don't worry. We're prepared
to deal with whatever happens.
115
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:16,169
You know, I did some drawings
this morning and they seem fine.
116
00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:18,129
So, maybe it was just a reaction
to something I ate.
117
00:06:18,254 --> 00:06:19,964
FOREMAN: How many people you know
have reactions like that
118
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:21,382
to something
they ate for breakfast?
119
00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:22,425
But if I'm
getting better...
120
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:23,801
You'll continue to get better.
121
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:25,386
If you're not,
we need to know why not,
122
00:06:25,511 --> 00:06:27,805
so we can start
treatment immediately.
123
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:29,432
Baby, let them do the test.
124
00:06:43,321 --> 00:06:45,531
Can lead poisoning
cause visual agnosia?
125
00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:47,742
TAUB: Not without lead showing up
in the blood work.
126
00:06:47,867 --> 00:06:51,454
Nothing in the medicine cabinet
except some harmless toiletries.
127
00:06:51,579 --> 00:06:54,248
No signs of mold
or fungus anywhere, either.
128
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,292
You think House really
got something on your wife?
129
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:58,795
No, not that
I care if he did.
130
00:06:59,128 --> 00:07:02,215
Wait, your wife's doing
the doorman in your bed,
131
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:04,759
and they're sweating all over the sheets
that you paid for and...
132
00:07:04,884 --> 00:07:06,677
- My wife's not doing the doorman.
- How do you know?
133
00:07:06,803 --> 00:07:09,222
We don't have a doorman.
134
00:07:09,347 --> 00:07:12,058
And I just do, okay?
Drop it.
135
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:16,395
In college, my friends and I came up
with an Inverse-Square Law.
136
00:07:16,521 --> 00:07:17,772
Sounds like
a real fun group.
137
00:07:17,897 --> 00:07:21,317
The girls who you think
are the most inhibited, straight arrows?
138
00:07:21,442 --> 00:07:22,735
They're the ones
you hook up with.
139
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:24,529
Are you saying
my wife's a slut?
140
00:07:24,654 --> 00:07:27,281
I'm saying if my wife was a slut,
I'd want to know.
141
00:07:31,035 --> 00:07:32,620
KUTNER:
His place was clean.
142
00:07:32,745 --> 00:07:34,038
So is his head.
143
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:37,416
Even with contrast,
no masses, no lesions.
144
00:07:37,542 --> 00:07:40,461
A neurological symptom
with no apparent neurological cause.
145
00:07:40,586 --> 00:07:43,005
Time course means
we can rule out cancer and MS.
146
00:07:43,131 --> 00:07:44,966
That just leaves
toxins or drugs.
147
00:07:45,091 --> 00:07:47,844
You called Thirteen a moron
for thinking it was drugs.
148
00:07:47,969 --> 00:07:49,929
Yeah, when she said it,
she had other options.
149
00:07:50,054 --> 00:07:53,015
And I really just wanted a segue
into her stupid loan and your...
150
00:07:53,141 --> 00:07:54,851
A cavernous angioma
in the brain could leak.
151
00:07:54,976 --> 00:07:56,310
Once the blood
gets reabsorbed,
152
00:07:56,435 --> 00:07:57,812
pressure goes down,
symptom goes away.
153
00:07:57,937 --> 00:07:59,814
He'll never consent
to petrosal vein sampling.
154
00:08:02,358 --> 00:08:03,359
Really?
155
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:06,237
He was nervous
about an injection of contrast.
156
00:08:07,113 --> 00:08:08,990
Is his girlfriend hot?
157
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:10,908
I'm not talking fever, here.
158
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:12,910
I mean, is she all curvy and perky?
159
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:15,413
Very. And if he dies,
it's good news for all of us, but...
160
00:08:15,538 --> 00:08:18,291
That explains
why all his paintings suck.
161
00:08:18,416 --> 00:08:20,001
And what's wrong with him.
162
00:08:20,126 --> 00:08:21,544
Where are you going?
163
00:08:21,669 --> 00:08:23,296
To tell him
he may have a massive brain tumor.
164
00:08:23,421 --> 00:08:24,422
He doesn't.
165
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:27,800
I know. I'm not a moron.
It's drugs.
166
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:30,011
(DOOR OPENS)
167
00:08:31,971 --> 00:08:34,515
You seem to have
a massive brain tumor.
168
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,766
Who are you?
169
00:08:35,892 --> 00:08:37,852
He's Dr. House.
He's pleased to meet you.
170
00:08:37,977 --> 00:08:39,812
We've found no trace
on any of your imaging,
171
00:08:39,937 --> 00:08:41,689
so we need to cut
your head open.
172
00:08:41,814 --> 00:08:45,026
It's risky,
but it's the only way to save your life.

she hasn't even
spent any of it,

any more of my stuff.

00:15:52,119 --> 00:15:53,495
No.

00:15:53,621 --> 00:15:54,496
You're lying.

people away from you.

to know the truth.

even when you can't see it, right?
351
00:16:06,091 --> 00:16:07,509
It was a truth
that mattered to him
352
00:16:07,635 --> 00:16:08,927
and a truth
that mattered to her,
353
00:16:09,053 --> 00:16:10,512
why did it matter to you?
354
00:16:10,638 --> 00:16:14,266
First of all, stop saying "a" truth.
There is only one truth.

That may be
true for you.

If your life has meaning,
your job doesn't have to have meaning.

Screw-ups are more palatable
if you have someone's arms to go cry in.

That makes sense.

Taub miserable?

He left his last job
to save his marriage.

00:16:34,536 --> 00:16:37,665
If his marriage falls apart, you think
he'll be working harder for you?

00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:39,958

it's squeezed his tear ducts shut.

We've been lubricating
his eyes by hand.

We've started him on steroids, IV,
and cream to reduce the swelling,
376

we finished hours ago.

it was the unproven,

been downing like... Like a cocktail.

He just completed
a total dialysis.
387
00:17:47,651 --> 00:17:48,736
If it was the drugs,
he'd be better.
388
00:17:48,861 --> 00:17:50,237

You think swelling
is a symptom of withdrawal?
391
00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:58,245
You think it's a coincidence
that three new symptoms cropped up
392
00:17:58,370 --> 00:17:59,580
as soon as we took him
off the drugs?
393
00:17:59,705 --> 00:18:00,664
It's possible some
of the symptoms...
394
00:18:00,789 --> 00:18:02,416
Either the drugs
are the answer
395
00:18:02,541 --> 00:18:03,709
or the drugs
are a coincidence.
396
00:18:03,834 --> 00:18:05,669
If it's one, we have to find
a better way to detox him.
397
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:08,672
If it's two, we have to know
which symptoms are withdrawal related

before we can formulate
a diagnosis.
399
00:18:10,507 --> 00:18:12,885
Which means we have to find
a better way to detox him.
400
00:18:13,010 --> 00:18:14,762
So how do we do it?
401
00:18:14,887 --> 00:18:16,263

that bit him.
402
00:18:16,388 --> 00:18:17,222
That's ridiculous.
403
00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:19,475
If it is the drugs, they're dangerous,
and they've already caused...
404
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,351
That's why we're
gonna put him back on the drugs,
405
00:18:21,477 --> 00:18:22,686
then wean him off again.
406
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:24,146
Just much slower.

what you like to do, so I thought...

- You'd spy on me?
- No, no, not spying.

about a woman
before you ask her out.

than just what she looks like.

so I'd have all the time in the world
448

to ask you all about
you and it would fall
449
00:20:26,727 --> 00:20:29,354
under the category of socializing,
instead of creepy stalking.

- I know it's weird.

it's all cool.

00:24:01,358 --> 00:24:03,151
If it's Kluver-Bucy,
his brain will melt down,
514
00:24:03,276 --> 00:24:04,653
he'll try to swallow
his own hands
515
00:24:04,778 --> 00:24:06,822
and she can take care of him
for the rest of his talentless life.
516
00:24:06,947 --> 00:24:07,948
You owe me an apology.
517
00:24:08,073 --> 00:24:09,950
Any rationalization
you had for meddling
518
00:24:10,075 --> 00:24:11,743
in my private life
disappeared
519
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:12,869
when she had
good reason...
520
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:14,287
You're right.
521
00:24:15,622 --> 00:24:18,583
Fact is,
nothing I said applies.
522
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:20,210
You had no reason
to forgive her,
523
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:24,047
therefore no reason to seek forgiveness,
no reason to be an idiot.
524
00:24:27,342 --> 00:24:30,095
Kluver-Bucy wouldn't explain
the seizure or the cytokine storm.
525
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:31,471
Withdrawal complications.
526
00:24:31,596 --> 00:24:34,015
Then again,
she is handing you a giant gift
527
00:24:34,141 --> 00:24:35,433
that you don't think you deserve.
528
00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:38,562
The fact that the MRI showed no lesions
on the temporal lobe tends to rule out
529
00:24:38,687 --> 00:24:40,021
your "lesions
on the temporal lobe" theory.
530
00:24:40,147 --> 00:24:42,899
The damage can be a circulatory issue,
rather than structural.
531
00:24:43,024 --> 00:24:44,943
We wouldn't see that
on the MRI.
532
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:45,944
Foreman's right.
533
00:24:46,069 --> 00:24:47,737
Go call your wife,
tell her you're not coming home,
534
00:24:47,863 --> 00:24:50,657
say you have to give
a patient a cranial MR angiogram,
535
00:24:50,782 --> 00:24:53,326
then say good night
and hang up.
536
00:25:15,098 --> 00:25:20,061
Odd that a man who can't run
would own so many pairs of sneakers.
537
00:25:20,187 --> 00:25:22,105
You mind hanging this up
when you're done?
538
00:25:23,231 --> 00:25:25,609
I have to find something
embarrassing about you.
539
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:29,446
No, you don't.
I ordered us Indian.
540
00:25:29,571 --> 00:25:33,033
Not too embarrassing.
Just something credible.
541
00:25:33,158 --> 00:25:37,037
Well, if you hand her that,
she's not gonna need you anymore.
542
00:25:37,162 --> 00:25:39,247
If I don't hand her anything,
she'll think I'm incompetent.
543
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:42,459
I don't care if she thinks
you're incompetent.
544
00:25:42,584 --> 00:25:44,336
This isn't gonna work.
545
00:25:44,461 --> 00:25:46,129
It's worked so far.
546
00:25:46,254 --> 00:25:47,923
I'm not good at lying.
547
00:25:48,048 --> 00:25:48,882
I know.
548
00:25:49,007 --> 00:25:51,760
That's why your cover is
that you want to do her.
549
00:25:51,885 --> 00:25:54,679
I like her.
I don't want to do her.
550
00:25:54,804 --> 00:25:56,890
Then what's the point
of liking her?
551
00:25:57,015 --> 00:25:59,809
I meant I don't just want to do her.
I like her.
552
00:25:59,935 --> 00:26:02,437
What do you think
you're gonna find out about her?
553
00:26:03,104 --> 00:26:06,942
Something personal,
something embarrassing.
554
00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:10,278
I spend half my life
negotiating with that woman.
555
00:26:10,403 --> 00:26:13,156
Anything I can use
to scare her into saying yes.
556
00:26:18,036 --> 00:26:19,246
Okay-
557
00:26:21,539 --> 00:26:22,791
"Okay"?
558
00:26:22,916 --> 00:26:26,378
You're okay with being paid twice
to facilitate blackmail?
559
00:26:26,503 --> 00:26:29,297
I'm okay. I don't believe you.
But I'm okay.
560
00:26:30,590 --> 00:26:33,760
You're doing this
for the same reason I'm doing this.
561
00:26:33,885 --> 00:26:35,595
We'll see
who gets there first.
562
00:26:39,474 --> 00:26:42,936
Here it is. Circle of Willis,
the vessels are narrow.
563
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:46,189
Narrow for you,
normal for him.
564
00:26:46,314 --> 00:26:47,607
If there were problems
with the vessels,
565
00:26:47,732 --> 00:26:49,109
he would have had symptoms
long ago.
566
00:26:49,234 --> 00:26:51,861
- Not if something else changed.
- Like?
567
00:26:51,987 --> 00:26:52,821
TAUB: His heart.
568
00:26:52,946 --> 00:26:54,781
He could have recently gotten
an intermittent arrhythmia.
569
00:26:54,906 --> 00:26:57,450
I know "heart" and "head" start
with the same three letters,
570
00:26:57,575 --> 00:27:00,036
but you've got to read
all the way to the end.
571
00:27:00,161 --> 00:27:01,788
The experimental drugs
cause an arrhythmia
572
00:27:01,913 --> 00:27:03,581
which causes low blood pressure.
573
00:27:03,707 --> 00:27:05,250
Combine that
with those narrow vessels,
574
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:06,918
the brain doesn't
get enough blood.
575
00:27:07,043 --> 00:27:08,753
That causes
all of his symptoms.
576
00:27:08,878 --> 00:27:10,547
If we can trigger the arrhythmia
and identify it,
577
00:27:10,672 --> 00:27:13,174
we might be able to stop it
from killing him.
578
00:27:15,593 --> 00:27:17,095
- Been home?
- No.
579
00:27:18,513 --> 00:27:21,474
Good. Do an EP study.
Find the arrhythmia.
580
00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:27,314
We're gonna insert three
electrical catheters into your heart.
581
00:27:27,439 --> 00:27:28,857
Tell Dr. Hadley I'm sorry.
582
00:27:28,982 --> 00:27:31,568
She understands,
and you should tell her yourself.
583
00:27:31,693 --> 00:27:33,069
Maybe I should tell
Heather about it.
584
00:27:33,194 --> 00:27:34,404
You're gonna be fine.
585
00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:38,867
She's so supportive, she's so great.
All I do is lie to her.
586
00:27:38,992 --> 00:27:41,369
What happens if you tell her?
587
00:27:41,786 --> 00:27:43,246
I don't know.
588
00:27:43,371 --> 00:27:44,956
You love her, right?
589
00:27:45,081 --> 00:27:46,333
More than anything,
and she loves me.
590
00:27:46,458 --> 00:27:48,710
If you open your mouth,
one of two things happens,
591
00:27:48,835 --> 00:27:50,962
she either forgives you
or she leaves you.
592
00:27:51,087 --> 00:27:54,049
At best, you wind up
exactly where you are right now.
593
00:27:54,174 --> 00:27:57,052
It's noble to want to confess.
Really, it is.
594
00:27:57,177 --> 00:27:59,679
But if the result's
just damage and pain,
595
00:27:59,804 --> 00:28:01,973
that's not noble,
it's selfish.
596
00:28:04,934 --> 00:28:07,520
TAUB: Stimulate right atrium.
597
00:28:07,645 --> 00:28:08,772
Normal conduction.
598
00:28:08,897 --> 00:28:11,149
How long you plan
on keeping me from going home?
599
00:28:11,274 --> 00:28:13,443
Until you're convinced
I'm a different person,
600
00:28:13,568 --> 00:28:15,653
one who won't do
anything stupid?
601
00:28:16,571 --> 00:28:20,075
Guilt fades quickly.
By Wednesday, you'll be fine.
602
00:28:21,034 --> 00:28:23,995
Right ventricle.
And why do you want it to fade?
603
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,122
Why do you suddenly care
about my marriage?
604
00:28:26,247 --> 00:28:28,166
Because if it ain't broke...
605
00:28:28,291 --> 00:28:29,918
You obviously think
it is broke.
606
00:28:30,043 --> 00:28:31,461
And you obviously
think it ain't.
607
00:28:31,586 --> 00:28:33,296
Your marriage
is like a broken toaster.
608
00:28:33,421 --> 00:28:35,382
Bread keeps popping out,
and you keep calling it toast,
609
00:28:35,507 --> 00:28:37,759
which is weird because you've put
your bread in a lot of toasters,
610
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,470
and apparently you don't see any
difference. It's kind of fascinating.
611
00:28:40,595 --> 00:28:42,013
(MACHINE BEEPING)
He's going into V-tach.
612
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:42,972
What's wrong?
613
00:28:43,098 --> 00:28:45,183
Good news,
test is working.
614
00:28:45,308 --> 00:28:47,852
Your heart's freaking out, but it's cool
that you're still conscious.
615
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:49,562
(WHEEZING)
Try to overdrive.
616
00:28:50,188 --> 00:28:51,439
Didn't work.
617
00:28:55,610 --> 00:28:56,611
(PANTING)
618
00:28:57,862 --> 00:29:00,865
This might burn a little bit.
Charging to 60. Clear.
619
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:02,367
Ow!
620
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:05,120
Going again.
Charging to 120.
621
00:29:05,245 --> 00:29:07,247
Have you been
dyeing your hair?
622
00:29:08,998 --> 00:29:10,917
- No.
- House. Clear.
623
00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:12,252
Right.
624
00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:13,962
(GROANS)
625
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:16,589
Your hair's growing in red.
626
00:29:16,714 --> 00:29:18,508
(BRANDON PANTING)
627
00:29:18,633 --> 00:29:20,969
TAUB:
His heart rate is stabilized.
628
00:29:21,094 --> 00:29:23,263
Does your theory include
any genetic mutations
629
00:29:23,388 --> 00:29:25,682
that could cause
his hair to change color?
630
00:29:26,766 --> 00:29:29,644
Then either
he's lying about dyeing
631
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,230
or just dying.
632
00:29:35,942 --> 00:29:37,777
Red hair means it's not Kluver-Bucy.
633
00:29:37,902 --> 00:29:40,238
Melanin affects hair color.
What affects melanin?
634
00:29:40,363 --> 00:29:42,323
- Hormones.
- Hormone panels were all normal.
635
00:29:42,449 --> 00:29:43,491
Age.
636
00:29:43,616 --> 00:29:45,368
He's turning prematurely crimson?
637
00:29:45,493 --> 00:29:46,578
FOREMAN:
A genetic disorder.
638
00:29:46,703 --> 00:29:49,622
Waardenburg Syndrome causes
arrhythmias and can change hair color.
639
00:29:49,747 --> 00:29:51,291
And make you deaf. Next.
640
00:29:51,416 --> 00:29:54,544
I found a long QT interval.
I think it's Romano-Ward Syndrome.
641
00:29:54,669 --> 00:29:56,421
Explains the irregular heart rhythms.
642
00:29:56,546 --> 00:29:57,672
But not the ginger nut.
643
00:29:57,797 --> 00:30:00,467
FOREMAN: If he's got Romano's,
he's got at least five gene mutations.
644
00:30:00,592 --> 00:30:02,760
It's not a big leap to think he has
others that would give him the hair.
645
00:30:02,886 --> 00:30:05,847
It also gives him the likelihood
of sudden and unexpected death.
646
00:30:05,972 --> 00:30:09,767
Beta blockers don't work.
His heart can't handle an ICD.
647
00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:11,269
Pete Best.
648
00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:19,194
Good God, has none of you
ever read a history book?
649
00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,488
The original Beatles drummer.
650
00:30:21,613 --> 00:30:23,865
A bunch of nerves
controls the tempo of the heart.
651
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:26,451
They're all playing in time,
except one dude who can't keep the beat,
652
00:30:26,576 --> 00:30:28,953
wrecks the whole thing,
so we hire Ringo.
653
00:30:29,078 --> 00:30:30,747
Pete Best was actually
a great drummer.
654
00:30:30,872 --> 00:30:33,458
But I assume you mean the patient
needs a cardiac sympathectomy?
655
00:30:33,583 --> 00:30:34,792
I probably should have
just said that, huh?
656
00:30:34,918 --> 00:30:38,129
You start cutting nerves, you risk
his swallowing, vocal cords, sweating...
657
00:30:38,254 --> 00:30:41,716
So he saves a fortune
on karaoke machines and deodorant.
658
00:30:41,841 --> 00:30:43,843
You think he's stable
enough for surgery?
659
00:30:45,595 --> 00:30:47,388
If he was,
he wouldn't need it.
660
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:52,810
CUDDY: Wow.
661
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,942
- Wow.
- Yeah.
662
00:30:59,442 --> 00:31:01,778
Do you have
any brothers and sisters?
663
00:31:01,903 --> 00:31:03,112
One sister.
664
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:04,948
He told me he was
on the lacrosse team.
665
00:31:05,073 --> 00:31:09,285
In high school. In college he just
cheered the lacrosse team on to victory.
666
00:31:09,410 --> 00:31:10,870
- Wow.
- Yeah.
667
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:13,540
How was your relationship
with your dad?
668
00:31:13,665 --> 00:31:15,875
Fine.
You have three more questions.
669
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,168
How was your relationship
with your mom?
670
00:31:17,293 --> 00:31:18,336
Fine.
671
00:31:18,461 --> 00:31:20,630
When did you lose
your virginity?
672
00:31:20,755 --> 00:31:24,300
Not something I discuss
with co-workers in an elevator.
673
00:31:26,261 --> 00:31:27,595
And...
674
00:31:28,513 --> 00:31:29,806
And...
675
00:31:32,684 --> 00:31:33,977
You know, don't you?
676
00:31:37,021 --> 00:31:39,440
Bit of a wasted
third question
677
00:31:40,024 --> 00:31:42,110
'cause the answer is
"Know what?"
678
00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:43,778
Okay,
bear with me here,
679
00:31:43,903 --> 00:31:47,740
because some people sometimes consider
my thought processes complicated.
680
00:31:47,865 --> 00:31:51,077
I'm into you
'cause you're hot and smart,
681
00:31:51,202 --> 00:31:53,413
in that order,
but both are needed.
682
00:31:53,538 --> 00:31:55,039
Photos can be retouched,
683
00:31:55,164 --> 00:31:58,918
and House is an evil genius,
which makes this photo suspicious.
684
00:31:59,043 --> 00:32:00,670
And yet you're
not suspicious.
685
00:32:00,795 --> 00:32:02,714
Which means either you're not
smart enough to be suspicious,
686
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:06,467
in which case,
I am less interested in you.
687
00:32:06,593 --> 00:32:09,137
Or you're not suspicious
because you know
688
00:32:09,262 --> 00:32:12,015
this is actually
a doctored photo of House.
689
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:15,310
In which case,
I am more interested in you.
690
00:32:15,435 --> 00:32:17,395
But I'm wasting my time
because you know
691
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,063
this is a game
we are playing on you
692
00:32:19,188 --> 00:32:22,108
and I am busted
and I'm screwed.
693
00:32:24,819 --> 00:32:26,571
I know the photo's a fake.
694
00:32:27,405 --> 00:32:29,365
I know this is a game.
695
00:32:29,699 --> 00:32:31,159
Sorry.
696
00:32:34,037 --> 00:32:35,455
Too bad.
697
00:32:37,874 --> 00:32:39,459
Good bye.
698
00:32:46,215 --> 00:32:50,219
So you knew that I wasn't
gonna give you anything worthwhile?
699
00:32:50,345 --> 00:32:53,264
And you were never gonna give me
anything worthwhile?
700
00:32:55,058 --> 00:32:56,893
Then why did you bother
coming out with me?
701
00:32:57,018 --> 00:32:59,562
I wanted to screw with House.
702
00:33:00,772 --> 00:33:04,609
By wasting my time?
That doesn't make sense.
703
00:33:06,152 --> 00:33:10,281
No.
There must be another reason.
704
00:33:11,449 --> 00:33:12,408
Hmm.
705
00:33:12,533 --> 00:33:15,286
Is it okay
if I sit back down here?
706
00:33:16,245 --> 00:33:17,538
(CHUCKLES)
707
00:33:19,666 --> 00:33:21,167
THIRTEEN:
Your heartbeat's out of control.
708
00:33:21,292 --> 00:33:24,712
We need to surgically sever the
connection between your heart and brain.
709
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:28,174
We believe it's necessary,
but you need to know the ramifications.
710
00:33:28,299 --> 00:33:30,093
You'll never be able
to feel angina.
711
00:33:30,218 --> 00:33:32,303
You may not know
if you have a heart attack,
712
00:33:32,428 --> 00:33:34,430
may not be able
to get help in time.
713
00:33:34,555 --> 00:33:36,808
Where are my regular doctors?
714
00:33:36,933 --> 00:33:37,934
Regular doctors?
715
00:33:38,059 --> 00:33:39,894
Dr. Taub and Dr. Hadley.
716
00:33:40,019 --> 00:33:42,063
Why aren't they telling me this?
717
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:44,899
Brandon, I am Dr. Hadley,
and this is Dr. Taub.
718
00:33:45,983 --> 00:33:50,279
What are you talking about?
I've never seen you before in my life.
719
00:33:56,369 --> 00:33:57,704
TAUB:
We can't do the surgery.
720
00:33:57,829 --> 00:33:59,455
We're back to where we started,
visual agnosia.
721
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:01,207
We need to re-examine
neurological disorders,
722
00:34:01,332 --> 00:34:03,209
- something slowly progressing.
- This isn't progressing.
723
00:34:03,334 --> 00:34:05,169
It's there,
then it's not, then it is.
724
00:34:05,294 --> 00:34:07,839
It's a new symptom, intermittence.
725
00:34:09,006 --> 00:34:10,007
It's irrelevant.
726
00:34:10,133 --> 00:34:11,884
Since when
is a new symptom irrelevant?
727
00:34:12,009 --> 00:34:13,845
Since it points towards
the same disease.
728
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:15,596
Intermittence can fit
with Romano-Ward.
729
00:34:15,722 --> 00:34:17,181
We still need to do
a sympathectomy.
730
00:34:17,306 --> 00:34:19,142
Maybe we missed something, toxins.
731
00:34:19,267 --> 00:34:21,602
When?
When you checked every bottle,
732
00:34:21,728 --> 00:34:24,439
every can, every tube of paint,
or when you detoxed him twice?
733
00:34:24,564 --> 00:34:26,524
Maybe there was
a batch of toxic paint
734
00:34:26,649 --> 00:34:28,109
that he used up
a few months ago.
735
00:34:28,234 --> 00:34:30,027
Then he would have been
sick months ago, not now.
736
00:34:30,153 --> 00:34:31,779
He's lost weight
since he got here.
737
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:33,573
That's a symptom of trying
to cram hospital food
738
00:34:33,698 --> 00:34:35,032
down a throat
he can barely get air down.
739
00:34:35,158 --> 00:34:36,200
It's not a symptom,
740
00:34:36,325 --> 00:34:40,079
but what if the toxins were stored
in his fat cells a year ago,
741
00:34:40,204 --> 00:34:44,500
and now they're being
released into his bloodstream?
742
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:47,503
So where are you gonna
get this old paint, the city dump?
743
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:50,673
On his old paintings.
We know he hasn't sold one in ages,
744
00:34:50,798 --> 00:34:54,051
but there weren't many in his studio.
He's hid them somewhere.
745
00:34:54,886 --> 00:34:57,180
If you're wrong,
he could drop dead
746
00:34:57,305 --> 00:35:00,266
from Romano-Ward at any moment.
You okay with that?
747
00:35:00,391 --> 00:35:02,518
Just give me a few hours.
748
00:35:02,643 --> 00:35:03,936
You got one.
749
00:35:11,068 --> 00:35:12,945
I need to talk
to him alone.
750
00:35:13,070 --> 00:35:15,948
It's about your work.
Your paintings.
751
00:35:16,073 --> 00:35:19,619
I need to look at all the ones
you've sold recently.
752
00:35:25,041 --> 00:35:26,292
Honey, can you
give us a minute?
753
00:35:26,417 --> 00:35:28,294
To talk about
your paintings?
754
00:35:30,296 --> 00:35:32,924
Brandon, please.
Tell me what's going on.
755
00:35:40,556 --> 00:35:46,145
I've only sold two paintings
in the last three years, since we met.
756
00:35:47,438 --> 00:35:49,106
One was to my cousin.
757
00:35:49,232 --> 00:35:52,151
I've been making money
enrolling in drug trials.
758
00:35:52,276 --> 00:35:54,946
Two, three at a time.
759
00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:04,121
Why did you lie to me?
760
00:36:04,247 --> 00:36:05,623
I want to be...
761
00:36:07,875 --> 00:36:11,587
The way you look at me,
the way it makes me feel...
762
00:36:11,712 --> 00:36:16,384
I want to be what you see
when you look at me.
763
00:36:21,055 --> 00:36:23,057
You think
I'm that shallow?
764
00:36:24,433 --> 00:36:28,855
When I look at you,
I see you.
765
00:36:42,994 --> 00:36:44,161
So,
766
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:48,958
where are the ones
you didn't sell?
767
00:37:02,138 --> 00:37:03,097
(THUDDING)
768
00:38:10,748 --> 00:38:12,291
(PHONE RINGING)
769
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:18,965
It's not the paint,
it's the drugs.
770
00:38:19,090 --> 00:38:20,299
He's not on the drugs
771
00:38:20,424 --> 00:38:21,300
I know it doesn't make sense,
772
00:38:21,425 --> 00:38:23,636
but I'm looking at his paintings
for the last six months.
773
00:38:23,761 --> 00:38:26,597
They're normal
April, June and August,
774
00:38:26,722 --> 00:38:29,809
but they're distorted
May, July, September.
775
00:38:29,934 --> 00:38:32,228
Every other month,
he was having visual agnosia
776
00:38:32,353 --> 00:38:35,356
because every other month, he was
on all three drugs simultaneously.
777
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:38,401
The statin was one month on,
one month off.
778
00:38:38,526 --> 00:38:40,194
I don't know why the symptoms
keep coming and going,
779
00:38:40,319 --> 00:38:41,946
but it is the drugs.
780
00:38:42,738 --> 00:38:44,323
They're hiding
under the stairs.
781
00:38:44,448 --> 00:38:46,117
In the fat?
That doesn't make sense.
782
00:38:46,242 --> 00:38:47,410
These drugs aren't fat soluble.
783
00:38:47,535 --> 00:38:49,620
I said stairs, not closet.
784
00:38:49,745 --> 00:38:52,498
What was the last drug he was on
before the drugs he was on
785
00:38:52,623 --> 00:38:53,749
when the symptoms started?
786
00:38:53,874 --> 00:38:55,001
I'm not sure, I think...
787
00:38:55,126 --> 00:38:56,419
Antacid.
788
00:38:57,003 --> 00:38:58,963
- How do you know?
- It makes sense.
789
00:38:59,839 --> 00:39:01,674
Also, I'm looking
at the file.
790
00:39:03,843 --> 00:39:05,177
(PHONE RINGING)
791
00:39:06,512 --> 00:39:07,638
Yes.
792
00:39:11,475 --> 00:39:12,852
It's Dr. House.
793
00:39:13,394 --> 00:39:14,937
Wake him up.
We're done.
794
00:39:15,062 --> 00:39:18,149
No, no, he says he needs surgery,
but not this one.
795
00:39:18,274 --> 00:39:19,567
Did he give any specifics?
796
00:39:19,692 --> 00:39:22,486
Abdominal surgery
to remove a bezoar.
797
00:39:24,113 --> 00:39:27,992
It's like a hairball,
but it's made up of undigested food.
798
00:39:28,117 --> 00:39:30,036
You can get it
if your stomach acid's low,
799
00:39:30,161 --> 00:39:33,330
which Brandon's was
because of an experimental antacid.
800
00:39:33,456 --> 00:39:35,708
The fruit and vegetable
fibers and skins
801
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:38,044
get stuck together
and form a ball.
802
00:39:38,169 --> 00:39:40,880
It gets sticky,
ferments, grows.
803
00:39:41,005 --> 00:39:43,507
It starts sucking up
some of the pills he'd taken.
804
00:39:43,632 --> 00:39:46,802
Some are never heard from again,
but some get released.
805
00:39:46,927 --> 00:39:48,929
For the last week,
it's basically been giving him
806
00:39:49,055 --> 00:39:51,682
massive doses
of all three at once.
807
00:39:56,437 --> 00:40:00,066
That is why I won't
let Cameron buy a cat.
808
00:40:00,941 --> 00:40:02,359
He should be fine.
809
00:40:02,485 --> 00:40:03,861
(CHUCKLES)
810
00:40:05,863 --> 00:40:07,865
Are you glad
he told you the truth?
811
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:09,825
Yes. Of course.
812
00:40:12,078 --> 00:40:16,040
But were you happier
before you knew?
813
00:40:24,882 --> 00:40:27,093
About 10 more feet.
814
00:40:27,218 --> 00:40:30,012
I do know what it looks like,
so maybe this whole blindfold thing...
815
00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:33,140
Shh. My gift, my rules.
Bump!
816
00:40:34,433 --> 00:40:36,185
All right,
if you don't like the color,
817
00:40:36,310 --> 00:40:37,436
apparently we can exchange it,
818
00:40:37,561 --> 00:40:39,980
but I'm hoping...
You ready?
819
00:40:43,025 --> 00:40:44,360
Ta-da!
820
00:40:45,569 --> 00:40:46,821
(CHUCKLES)
821
00:40:47,363 --> 00:40:48,823
Do you like it?
822
00:40:55,996 --> 00:40:57,414
Baby, are you okay?
823
00:41:06,715 --> 00:41:08,425
We need to talk.
824
00:41:11,554 --> 00:41:13,597
(PIANO PLAYING)
825
00:41:32,616 --> 00:41:34,285
She didn't buy it.
826
00:41:34,410 --> 00:41:35,786
Damn.
827
00:41:35,911 --> 00:41:37,454
(PIANO PLAYING)
828
00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:39,081
So, you didn't get anything?
829
00:41:39,206 --> 00:41:42,543
Nothing.
We probably overstepped.
830
00:41:42,668 --> 00:41:45,337
You're really not
the cheerleader type.
831
00:41:45,462 --> 00:41:49,508
On the other hand, I figured she
probably wouldn't figure me as the
832
00:41:49,633 --> 00:41:54,096
"Photoshopping a photo and planting it
in a college paper" type either.
833
00:41:54,221 --> 00:41:57,141
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah. About that,
834
00:41:58,726 --> 00:42:00,853
I took a little trip
to your alma mater.
835
00:42:02,521 --> 00:42:06,192
You took a little trip
150 miles?
836
00:42:06,317 --> 00:42:10,779
Online, by phone.
I meant I did research.
837
00:42:16,076 --> 00:42:17,786
That's a real photo,
isn't it?
838
00:42:19,788 --> 00:42:20,623
(EXCLAIMS)
839
00:42:20,748 --> 00:42:22,333
Wow, that is humiliating.
840
00:42:22,458 --> 00:42:24,126
(PIANO PLAYING)
841
00:42:25,252 --> 00:42:27,046
There was a girl.
842
00:42:28,339 --> 00:42:30,049
Even more so.
843
00:42:30,174 --> 00:42:32,676
That's too bad. You wanted her
to see you in a different light,
844
00:42:32,801 --> 00:42:35,679
and not only
didn't she see it,
845
00:42:35,804 --> 00:42:38,557
but she didn't even believe
it was possible.
846
00:42:39,767 --> 00:42:43,604
You know, people hate people
who have theories about people.
847
00:42:52,238 --> 00:42:53,822
You want me to back off?
848
00:42:53,948 --> 00:42:55,908
Would you?
849
00:42:56,033 --> 00:42:57,743
I barely know you.
850
00:42:57,868 --> 00:43:00,287
(HARMONIZING)
