1
00:00:04,091 --> 00:00:05,194
Okay, boys and girls.

2
00:00:06,305 --> 00:00:07,271
Guess what kind of animal

3
00:00:07,272 --> 00:00:09,371
wacky Benny's making now?

4
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:12,138
Give you a big hint.

5
00:00:15,541 --> 00:00:16,877
Bor-ing.

6
00:00:19,717 --> 00:00:21,919
Is it a dead animal?

7
00:00:24,056 --> 00:00:25,991
I say we put him
out of his misery

8
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:27,593
and bring out Emma's cake.

9
00:00:27,661 --> 00:00:29,027
He's so new to this.

10
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:31,329
How's he gonna learn
if we stop his act?

11
00:00:31,397 --> 00:00:32,798
You're a sucky clown.

12
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:36,370
And you're
a super-duper audience.

13
00:00:40,677 --> 00:00:42,144
Hey, that is not okay.

14
00:00:42,212 --> 00:00:43,714
Hey, keep your hands
off my son.

15
00:00:43,782 --> 00:00:45,415
Tell him to keep
his hand off me.

16
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,427
I can't move
my arm or leg.

17
00:01:02,346 --> 00:01:06,346
== sync, corrected by elderman ==

18
00:01:30,134 --> 00:01:33,437
So how does a completely
healthy teenager have a mini-stroke?

19
00:01:33,504 --> 00:01:36,006
Head CT and cerebral
angiogram are normal.

20
00:01:36,074 --> 00:01:37,908
Clotting parameters
are normal.

21
00:01:37,975 --> 00:01:39,242
You're forgetting
the wrinkly clump

22
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:41,677
in the middle of his shirt.

23
00:01:41,745 --> 00:01:44,680
Thought we'd diagnose
the middle-aged clown first.

24
00:01:44,748 --> 00:01:46,681
It's probably
from my seat belt.

25
00:01:46,749 --> 00:01:47,949
Wrinkle pattern's too varied.

26
00:01:48,017 --> 00:01:49,851
It looks like someone
shoved you or grabbed you.

27
00:01:49,918 --> 00:01:50,918
Probably from
the diaper bag.

28
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:52,353
If the patient's
using drugs,

29
00:01:52,421 --> 00:01:54,421
cocaine could have caused
an arterial spasm in his brain.

30
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:55,890
The tox screen was clean.

31
00:01:55,958 --> 00:01:59,060
I'm gonna say it was the
ex-girlfriend you cheated on,

32
00:01:59,128 --> 00:02:01,263
not the ex-wife
you cheated with.

33
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:02,765
If the latter
was prone to violence,

34
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:06,235
you'd have been scattered
in various dumpsters years ago.

35
00:02:07,437 --> 00:02:10,038
Seriously?

36
00:02:10,106 --> 00:02:12,307
No one else wants to talk
about the patient?

37
00:02:12,375 --> 00:02:15,377
New office furniture.
Meaty topic.

38
00:02:15,445 --> 00:02:16,779
What's the action
on the ex-wife?

39
00:02:18,348 --> 00:02:20,850
It was Rachel's
boyfriend Phil.

40
00:02:24,822 --> 00:02:26,623
so he can ask Rachel
and my daughter

41
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:28,257
to move out west with him.

42
00:02:28,325 --> 00:02:29,492
Things got
a little heated.

43
00:02:31,595 --> 00:02:33,562
The patient
was punched in the groin.

44
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:36,999
Could have triggered a massive
sympathetic discharge.

45
00:02:37,066 --> 00:02:38,100
Carotid duplex is normal.

46
00:02:38,168 --> 00:02:40,402
Who's better qualified
to be the daddy?

47
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:43,405
The guy who spilled
a little DNA in her gene pool

48
00:02:43,473 --> 00:02:44,974
or the guy who's gonna be there
day and night

49
00:02:45,042 --> 00:02:46,409
to pass on important values

50
00:02:46,476 --> 00:02:49,612
like not shtupping mommy
after the divorce?

51
00:02:49,679 --> 00:02:51,247
I am her daddy.

52
00:02:51,315 --> 00:02:53,249
She's staying here.

53
00:02:53,317 --> 00:02:54,417
House has a point.

54
00:02:54,485 --> 00:02:56,018
A couple nights a week
with each kid

55
00:02:56,086 --> 00:02:57,320
may make you feel better.

56
00:02:57,387 --> 00:02:59,255
Doesn't replace two
'round-the-clock parents.

57
00:02:59,323 --> 00:03:01,624
'Round-the-clock or not,
parenting's an impossible job.

58
00:03:01,692 --> 00:03:03,860
No way not to mess it up.

59
00:03:03,928 --> 00:03:05,595
Why shouldn't Taub be
the one to do it?

60
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:07,598
- Thank you.
Makes sense.

61
00:03:07,665 --> 00:03:10,434
Park's tiger mom and dad
were so insufferable,

62
00:03:10,502 --> 00:03:12,702
she has to measure
their affection in hours.

63
00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:15,271
Chase's careerist dad
and alcoholic mom

64
00:03:15,339 --> 00:03:17,574
were so indifferent,
he has to believe it's a wash.

65
00:03:17,642 --> 00:03:18,775
Your turn.

66
00:03:18,843 --> 00:03:20,176
What did your
screwed-up parents do

67
00:03:20,244 --> 00:03:22,946
to screw up
your view of parenting?

68
00:03:23,013 --> 00:03:24,580
They were good parents.

69
00:03:24,648 --> 00:03:26,215
That's an oxymoron.

70
00:03:26,283 --> 00:03:29,185
Chase is right. All parents
screw up all children.

71
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:31,353
He's also dreamy,
but it's not relevant now.

72
00:03:31,421 --> 00:03:33,255
So all parents screw up
all children,

73
00:03:33,323 --> 00:03:34,523
but it makes
some huge difference

74
00:03:34,591 --> 00:03:36,992
if I keep my daughter here
or let her move?

75
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:38,560
Endocarditis.

76
00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:40,129
Flipped a piece of vegetation
into his brain,

77
00:03:40,196 --> 00:03:41,931
which could have broken up
before the angiogram.

78
00:03:41,999 --> 00:03:45,100
Transesophageal echo
to confirm.

79
00:03:45,168 --> 00:03:47,469
Screwed up
is your best case.

80
00:03:47,537 --> 00:03:50,005
Bouncing between
a philandering workaholic dad

81
00:03:50,072 --> 00:03:52,307
and an embittered,
sexually betrayed mom,

82
00:03:52,375 --> 00:03:55,844
it's gonna lead
to screwed-up squared.

83
00:03:57,514 --> 00:03:59,448
Is endocarditis treatable?

84
00:03:59,516 --> 00:04:02,785
Very. The echo will show us
any growths on his heart valve.

85
00:04:02,853 --> 00:04:04,520
Most likely meds
will be enough.

86
00:04:04,587 --> 00:04:06,188
He won't even need surgery.

87
00:04:06,256 --> 00:04:07,857
He's just
taken up performing

88
00:04:07,924 --> 00:04:10,192
and it's very stressful
for him.

89
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:11,561
Could that have caused this?

90
00:04:11,628 --> 00:04:13,663
It's not stressful.
I have fun.

91
00:04:13,730 --> 00:04:14,897
Stress wouldn't be
relevant,

92
00:04:14,965 --> 00:04:16,465
but anything that
increases his adrenalin

93
00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:19,034
could have made it worse.

94
00:04:19,102 --> 00:04:20,368
Maybe we find you
a new hobby,

95
00:04:20,436 --> 00:04:21,669
one you're
a little better at.

96
00:04:21,737 --> 00:04:26,206
I'm gonna get better at it,
and it's not a hobby.

97
00:04:26,274 --> 00:04:30,043
I-I think I want to get a job
working as a circus clown,

98
00:04:30,111 --> 00:04:31,845
making people laugh.

99
00:04:34,215 --> 00:04:37,017
Ben, I-I don't think
that's a good idea.

100
00:04:37,084 --> 00:04:38,084
It was good enough
for my dad.

101
00:04:39,287 --> 00:04:41,287
You're a, uh—

102
00:04:41,355 --> 00:04:43,390
No, his biological father.

103
00:04:43,457 --> 00:04:45,659
Could his dad's melanoma
be a factor here?

104
00:04:45,726 --> 00:04:47,627
That wouldn't be
related.

105
00:04:47,695 --> 00:04:49,363
Ben, you barely knew him.

106
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:51,932
You're such a smart kid.

107
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,266
You could aim a lot higher

108
00:04:53,334 --> 00:04:55,869
than face paint
and seltzer bottles.

109
00:04:59,373 --> 00:05:01,274
I need treatment
for my Type 2 diabetes.

110
00:05:01,342 --> 00:05:05,812
There is absolutely no part
of that sentence that is true.

111
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:07,413
I've been experiencing
weight gain, fatigue,

112
00:05:07,481 --> 00:05:08,614
and sluggishness.

113
00:05:08,682 --> 00:05:11,550
Weight loss is a symptom
of diabetes.

114
00:05:11,618 --> 00:05:13,119
Fatigue is a symptom

115
00:05:13,186 --> 00:05:15,088
of thinking you have a disease
you don't actually have,

116
00:05:15,155 --> 00:05:17,323
and sluggishness is a synonym
of fatigue.

117
00:05:17,391 --> 00:05:19,726
I need Insulin.
I know it.

118
00:05:19,793 --> 00:05:21,027
Much as I'd like to kill you

119
00:05:21,095 --> 00:05:22,995
by dangerously lowering
your blood sugar,

120
00:05:23,063 --> 00:05:24,864
murder violates my parole.

121
00:05:24,932 --> 00:05:26,532
That bloodwork is week's old.

122
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,801
Test me again.

123
00:05:27,868 --> 00:05:30,603
I am the test.
The test is negative.

124
00:05:30,671 --> 00:05:35,841
The test also thinks you're
a giant pain in the ass.

125
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:38,177
That last insult
was your cue to leave.

126
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,548
Test me.

127
00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:46,853
Fine. Wait right here.

128
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,254
Thank you.

129
00:05:50,791 --> 00:05:52,191
Sleep study.

130
00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:53,626
Please make sure
he's not disturbed

131
00:05:53,694 --> 00:05:55,561
for the next eight hours.

132
00:05:55,629 --> 00:05:57,463
We need to talk
about Saturday night.

133
00:05:57,531 --> 00:06:00,266
No, no, no, no, no.

134
00:06:00,333 --> 00:06:03,768
Historians will talk
of Saturday night, not us.

135
00:06:03,836 --> 00:06:04,970
The legendary night

136
00:06:05,038 --> 00:06:07,939
on which we watch Santos
shatter Rubio's jaw

137
00:06:08,007 --> 00:06:09,808
and you epically
pay me $50.

138
00:06:09,876 --> 00:06:12,076
I have a chance
to really watch it.

139
00:06:12,144 --> 00:06:14,612
A patient of mine has a pair
of tickets he can't use,

140
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,250
and obviously you're under
house and office arrest.

141
00:06:19,317 --> 00:06:21,818
I just wanted to make sure
you were cool

142
00:06:21,886 --> 00:06:23,186
if I go to Atlantic City
without you.

143
00:06:23,254 --> 00:06:25,054
Uh, no, thanks.

144
00:06:25,122 --> 00:06:27,323
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to
decline your invitation

145
00:06:27,391 --> 00:06:29,792
to not spend Saturday night
with you.

146
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:31,828
These are ringside seats.

147
00:06:31,895 --> 00:06:34,030
Cameras are ringside too.

148
00:06:34,098 --> 00:06:36,199
If you want,
I could sweat and spit

149
00:06:36,266 --> 00:06:38,068
and bleed on you
from time to time.

150
00:06:38,135 --> 00:06:40,304
I'd take you if I could.

151
00:06:40,371 --> 00:06:41,872
Well, I'd take me
if either of us could.

152
00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:43,873
See what a tough spot
I'm in?

153
00:06:43,941 --> 00:06:45,575
I'm going to that fight.

154
00:06:47,544 --> 00:06:50,979
All right, I'll take
the other ticket.

155
00:06:51,047 --> 00:06:53,115
Let me worry
about logistics.

156
00:07:02,692 --> 00:07:03,892
Patient's heart valves
are normal.

157
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,660
It's not endocarditis.

158
00:07:05,728 --> 00:07:06,628
But he has a thickened
pericardium,

159
00:07:06,696 --> 00:07:07,696
which makes no sense.

160
00:07:07,763 --> 00:07:09,397
He has a heart problem

161
00:07:09,465 --> 00:07:11,833
but not one that could have
caused his T.I.A.

162
00:07:11,901 --> 00:07:13,802
Syphilitic vasculitis
would explain the T.I.A.

163
00:07:13,869 --> 00:07:14,970
and the pericardial
inflammation.

164
00:07:15,037 --> 00:07:16,638
Syph test was negative.

165
00:07:16,705 --> 00:07:18,639
Plus, the kid's never been
sexually active.

166
00:07:18,707 --> 00:07:20,408
Yeah, I got that from
the line in his chart

167
00:07:20,476 --> 00:07:21,876
that says "birthday clown."

168
00:07:21,943 --> 00:07:23,444
His late father
was a circus clown.

169
00:07:23,512 --> 00:07:25,312
Histoplasmosis?

170
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:26,681
He's not immuno-compromised.

171
00:07:26,748 --> 00:07:28,516
And I assume you added that
irrelevant tidbit

172
00:07:28,584 --> 00:07:30,618
because you're moved by
the son's idiotic tribute

173
00:07:30,685 --> 00:07:33,587
and think it justifies keeping
your daughter in New Jersey.

174
00:07:33,655 --> 00:07:35,155
What if he has a heightened
immune system?

175
00:07:35,223 --> 00:07:37,024
I mentioned it because...

176
00:07:39,261 --> 00:07:40,561
Take your time.

177
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:43,064
We'll continue
with the medicine.

178
00:07:43,132 --> 00:07:45,066
Sjogren's could have given him
chronic pericarditis

179
00:07:45,134 --> 00:07:46,067
and cerebral arteritis.

180
00:07:46,135 --> 00:07:47,335
Sjogren's it is.

181
00:07:47,403 --> 00:07:48,870
IV immunosuppressants
to treat.

182
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,873
Anything?

183
00:07:53,977 --> 00:07:56,244
This will calm
your immune system.

184
00:07:56,312 --> 00:07:59,581
Should be out of here
within the week.

185
00:07:59,649 --> 00:08:01,784
My mom will be happy
to hear that.

186
00:08:01,851 --> 00:08:04,386
I've got an internship
that starts in three weeks.

187
00:08:04,454 --> 00:08:07,289
I take it it's not at
a place with a big top.

188
00:08:07,357 --> 00:08:11,361
It's at
my stepdad's law office.

189
00:08:11,428 --> 00:08:14,564
I know I'm not any good
at being a clown yet,

190
00:08:14,631 --> 00:08:18,568
but when I do get a laugh

191
00:08:18,636 --> 00:08:21,539
and see those kids' eyes
light up,

192
00:08:21,606 --> 00:08:24,408
that's how my dad made me feel
when I was a kid.

193
00:08:25,744 --> 00:08:27,478
You need
to hang on to that.

194
00:08:27,546 --> 00:08:29,647
Heh.

195
00:08:29,715 --> 00:08:32,850
My mom says he was
a loving father

196
00:08:32,918 --> 00:08:37,355
but always broke
and always on the road.

197
00:08:37,423 --> 00:08:40,091
It's just a stupid way
to make a living.

198
00:08:40,158 --> 00:08:45,628
You're 16.
Plenty of time to make money.

199
00:08:45,696 --> 00:08:48,531
Wanting to build a connection
with your dad

200
00:08:48,599 --> 00:08:51,034
and pass on some of the joy
that he gave you,

201
00:08:51,101 --> 00:08:53,536
that's not stupid at all.

202
00:08:55,272 --> 00:08:57,607
Ooh. I got it.

203
00:09:03,147 --> 00:09:07,418
Is, uh, is this because
of the medication?

204
00:09:07,486 --> 00:09:09,287
Is it normal?

205
00:09:13,659 --> 00:09:17,695
It's not normal,
and it's not Sjogren's.

206
00:09:23,643 --> 00:09:25,645
T.I.A.,
thickened pericardium,

207
00:09:25,712 --> 00:09:30,449
and now he's bleeding
from his nose and mouth.

208
00:09:30,517 --> 00:09:32,318
What are you doing
with her?

209
00:09:32,386 --> 00:09:34,987
"Her"?

210
00:09:35,054 --> 00:09:39,291
Surely this bundle of fun
has an actual name.

211
00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:43,829
It's Sophie.

212
00:09:43,897 --> 00:09:45,330
Both your kids are named—

213
00:09:45,398 --> 00:09:47,866
she's Sophie.
The other one's Sophia.

214
00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:49,100
It's different enough.

215
00:09:49,168 --> 00:09:50,168
They actually have

216
00:09:50,236 --> 00:09:52,771
two completely different
derivations.

217
00:09:52,839 --> 00:09:55,407
No, they don't.

218
00:09:55,475 --> 00:09:57,843
I wasn't in a strong
negotiating position.

219
00:09:57,911 --> 00:09:58,844
Why is she here?

220
00:09:58,912 --> 00:10:00,345
Ruby dropped her off.

221
00:10:00,413 --> 00:10:01,879
Seemed pretty upset.

222
00:10:01,947 --> 00:10:04,482
Apparently someone forgot
that it was daddy's night.

223
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:05,717
She wasn't even
gonna leave her

224
00:10:05,784 --> 00:10:07,452
until I said that I was
letting you off early.

225
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,587
Damn it. I just started
back on the team.

226
00:10:09,655 --> 00:10:10,822
My schedule's a mess.

227
00:10:10,889 --> 00:10:12,523
If your own kids
are a scheduling item,

228
00:10:12,591 --> 00:10:14,559
maybe you should let
one of them move.

229
00:10:14,627 --> 00:10:16,461
Patient has low platelets.

230
00:10:16,529 --> 00:10:17,462
Makes me think D.I.C.

231
00:10:19,231 --> 00:10:19,997
She doesn't seem
to like that idea.

232
00:10:20,065 --> 00:10:21,832
You're right.

233
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:24,001
He has no schistocytes
in his smear.

234
00:10:24,068 --> 00:10:26,236
He also has
a low red count.

235
00:10:26,304 --> 00:10:28,872
What if it's
a retroperitoneal bleed?

236
00:10:28,940 --> 00:10:30,307
No Grey-Turner's sign.

237
00:10:30,374 --> 00:10:32,742
She wasn't fussing like that
when I was holding her.

238
00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:34,777
Maybe she likes
the sound of my voice,

239
00:10:34,845 --> 00:10:39,715
which is weird because I have
no genetic connection to her.

240
00:10:39,782 --> 00:10:43,284
Could it be she doesn't
know the difference?

241
00:10:43,352 --> 00:10:44,786
So many children
of your own.

242
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:45,987
No wonder you have
such insight

243
00:10:46,054 --> 00:10:47,088
into my relationship
with my babies.

244
00:10:47,155 --> 00:10:48,389
Good point.

245
00:10:48,456 --> 00:10:50,991
How could I comprehend
that you're too despised

246
00:10:51,059 --> 00:10:52,826
to keep them from having
the same name,

247
00:10:52,893 --> 00:10:54,628
too overwhelmed to remember
your own calendar,

248
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,296
and too vain to admit
that at this stage,

249
00:10:56,364 --> 00:11:00,133
you don't matter
to either baby.

250
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:01,902
Low white count
suggests infection.

251
00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:04,839
What if you're all right?

252
00:11:04,906 --> 00:11:06,307
Low platelets
plus low red count

253
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:08,076
plus low white count equals—

254
00:11:08,143 --> 00:11:09,243
aplastic anemia.

255
00:11:09,311 --> 00:11:12,079
Kid needs a bone marrow
transplant.

256
00:11:12,147 --> 00:11:13,848
Everyone except Adams,

257
00:11:13,916 --> 00:11:16,483
transfuse his platelets
till you find a match.

258
00:11:23,492 --> 00:11:26,760
You started college
a semester late

259
00:11:26,828 --> 00:11:29,496
because you left high school
a semester late

260
00:11:29,563 --> 00:11:32,165
because you had
five incompletes

261
00:11:32,233 --> 00:11:34,233
in your junior year.

262
00:11:34,301 --> 00:11:35,934
And you're offering
one bad semester

263
00:11:36,002 --> 00:11:37,736
as proof that my parents
screwed me up?

264
00:11:37,804 --> 00:11:40,271
Did okay before that.
Straight as after that.

265
00:11:40,339 --> 00:11:41,539
I went through
a rebellious phase.

266
00:11:41,607 --> 00:11:42,673
Don't tell me.

267
00:11:42,741 --> 00:11:45,409
Mom and dad were at
each other's throats

268
00:11:45,477 --> 00:11:49,213
and the academic crisis
was a cry for help.

269
00:11:49,281 --> 00:11:52,683
Sorry to mess with
your world view,

270
00:11:52,751 --> 00:11:54,552
but I'm not messed up,

271
00:11:54,619 --> 00:11:56,520
so my parents couldn't have
messed me up.

272
00:11:57,990 --> 00:12:01,393
Mom's HLA
is only a 3/6 match.

273
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:03,495
Maternal grandmother's
worse than that.

274
00:12:03,563 --> 00:12:04,963
Where did you
unload the baby?

275
00:12:05,031 --> 00:12:06,565
Maternity ward.
Shut up.

276
00:12:06,633 --> 00:12:09,567
You realize you're making
House's argument for him.

277
00:12:09,635 --> 00:12:11,803
The part where he said
any parent who uses day care

278
00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:13,771
should ship their child
across the country?

279
00:12:13,838 --> 00:12:16,006
No, the part where he said
that baby doesn't need you.

280
00:12:16,074 --> 00:12:17,808
You've only got her
a couple days a week

281
00:12:17,875 --> 00:12:20,010
and most of that's spent with
a rotating cast of nurses.

282
00:12:20,077 --> 00:12:21,344
That's how daddy likes to
spend his time too.

283
00:12:21,412 --> 00:12:22,812
Shut up.

284
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:24,046
First cousin's
also a whiff.

285
00:12:24,114 --> 00:12:25,981
So much for genetics
mattering.

286
00:12:26,049 --> 00:12:27,850
I'll try the marrow registry.

287
00:12:31,755 --> 00:12:33,322
Dr. Park is searching
the registry.

288
00:12:33,390 --> 00:12:35,525
Transfusing his platelets will
keep him healthy while we wait.

289
00:12:35,593 --> 00:12:37,861
Are you sure there's no one on
the father's side of the family?

290
00:12:37,928 --> 00:12:40,363
If one of them's a match,
that'd speed things up a lot.

291
00:12:40,431 --> 00:12:42,833
His parents died young.

292
00:12:42,901 --> 00:12:44,134
He was an only child.

293
00:12:44,202 --> 00:12:46,070
There's no living relatives
that I know of.

294
00:12:46,138 --> 00:12:47,472
Something will turn up soon.

295
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:49,307
How soon is soon?
Will he miss a lot of school?

296
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:51,075
I'm actually thinking of
just getting my GED.

297
00:12:51,143 --> 00:12:55,280
How do you expect to get
into a good college?

298
00:12:55,348 --> 00:12:58,750
I'm gonna take classes
on magic and juggling

299
00:12:58,818 --> 00:13:00,018
and try to make a go
of this.

300
00:13:00,086 --> 00:13:01,152
Ben, you keep
your grades up, you can do

301
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:02,487
anything in the world.

302
00:13:02,554 --> 00:13:05,624
Like what? Work in
some boring office?

303
00:13:05,691 --> 00:13:07,159
I mean, do you think
my father

304
00:13:07,226 --> 00:13:08,426
would have done that
for ten minutes?

305
00:13:08,494 --> 00:13:09,861
You don't remember your father.
You don't know—

306
00:13:09,929 --> 00:13:12,730
I want to build
a connection with him,

307
00:13:12,798 --> 00:13:19,270
pass on some of the—
the joy that he gave me.

308
00:13:19,338 --> 00:13:22,640
My, uh, my back hurts.
Uh...

309
00:13:24,842 --> 00:13:27,777
His BP is dropping.

310
00:13:27,845 --> 00:13:30,046
We think we've dealt with
all the liability issues.

311
00:13:33,182 --> 00:13:35,284
I'm in a meeting.

312
00:13:35,352 --> 00:13:36,785
Sorry.

313
00:13:36,853 --> 00:13:39,287
Since you paged me, I didn't
want to keep you waiting.

314
00:13:39,355 --> 00:13:41,822
Yeah, I paged you,
which means you're next.

315
00:13:41,890 --> 00:13:44,358
That's cool.
I'll wait.

316
00:13:44,426 --> 00:13:45,759
That's a good start.

317
00:13:45,827 --> 00:13:47,962
Let's go through it
point by point.

318
00:13:48,030 --> 00:13:50,031
First up...

319
00:13:54,169 --> 00:13:56,070
I'll call you back.

320
00:13:57,373 --> 00:13:59,908
Just got this.

321
00:13:59,976 --> 00:14:02,244
The American Association
of Rheumatology

322
00:14:02,312 --> 00:14:04,914
wants you to speak,
9:00, Saturday,

323
00:14:04,981 --> 00:14:06,215
in Atlantic City.

324
00:14:06,283 --> 00:14:10,118
Dr. Neusinger canceled on them
at the last minute.

325
00:14:10,186 --> 00:14:12,887
Hmm. I hate conferences.

326
00:14:12,955 --> 00:14:16,924
This is a big one,
and it's the premium slot.

327
00:14:16,991 --> 00:14:18,792
I'd like you to do it.

328
00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:20,827
I'll clear it with
your parole officer.

329
00:14:20,895 --> 00:14:23,263
What do I need to do
for you?

330
00:14:26,734 --> 00:14:29,903
Halve the clinic hours
that you recently doubled

331
00:14:29,971 --> 00:14:33,941
and double the hooker budget
that you recently halved.

332
00:14:34,009 --> 00:14:37,244
I think you refer to it
as petty cash.

333
00:14:37,312 --> 00:14:41,415
Fine.

334
00:14:41,483 --> 00:14:43,351
Just one thing.

335
00:14:43,418 --> 00:14:45,786
I'm gonna ask them to
put you on in the morning.

336
00:14:45,854 --> 00:14:47,155
We're doing them a favor.

337
00:14:47,222 --> 00:14:48,423
Why should you
have to spend the night?

338
00:14:48,490 --> 00:14:52,427
You said that 9:00
was the premium slot.

339
00:14:52,495 --> 00:14:54,762
I mean, I want to feel like
I've earned my hookers.

340
00:14:54,830 --> 00:14:56,697
The place'll be a madhouse,

341
00:14:56,765 --> 00:14:59,399
especially since it's two miles
from the Rubio fight

342
00:14:59,467 --> 00:15:02,135
at the exact same time.

343
00:15:02,203 --> 00:15:03,503
Nice try.

344
00:15:03,571 --> 00:15:05,505
You called up,
pretended to be Neusinger,

345
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,706
cancelled, and suggested
yourself as a replacement.

346
00:15:07,774 --> 00:15:10,676
You go to that fight,
you go to prison.

347
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:13,479
But that'd be redundant,
when I have an angry black guy

348
00:15:13,547 --> 00:15:15,682
waiting for me to drop
the soap right here.

349
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:18,451
Better go do some of those
clinic hours I recently doubled.

350
00:15:24,025 --> 00:15:27,161
Test my urine.

351
00:15:27,228 --> 00:15:29,096
Looks like I was wrong
about my diagnosis.

352
00:15:29,164 --> 00:15:30,864
Yeah. I have diabetes.

353
00:15:30,932 --> 00:15:33,434
No, but you're not
a hypochondriac

354
00:15:33,502 --> 00:15:35,803
or you would have imagined
some new disease

355
00:15:35,871 --> 00:15:37,004
after I shot down
the first one.

356
00:15:37,072 --> 00:15:38,473
So whose urine is that?

357
00:15:38,540 --> 00:15:40,208
Diabetic girlfriend without
health insurance?

358
00:15:40,276 --> 00:15:43,111
It's not a scam.
I'm sick.

359
00:15:43,179 --> 00:15:44,479
Now I have swollen ankles.

360
00:15:44,547 --> 00:15:46,614
The medical term is cankles.

361
00:15:46,682 --> 00:15:48,449
Is there some black market
in Insulin

362
00:15:48,517 --> 00:15:49,417
that I don't know about?

363
00:15:49,485 --> 00:15:50,818
It's in my genes.

364
00:15:50,886 --> 00:15:52,753
My old man got diabetes
at 50.

365
00:15:52,821 --> 00:15:53,821
My older brother
got it at 50.

366
00:15:53,889 --> 00:15:55,423
I just turned 50.

367
00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:57,825
Well, it's a great argument
if diabetes was a gold watch.

368
00:15:57,892 --> 00:16:00,061
I got sciatica, like my dad.

369
00:16:00,128 --> 00:16:02,763
Class-four hemorrhoids,
like him.

370
00:16:02,831 --> 00:16:04,198
I need to get a jump
on this thing.

371
00:16:06,067 --> 00:16:09,003
We had to stop
the transfusion.

372
00:16:09,070 --> 00:16:11,305
Patient's having an allergic
reaction to donor platelets.

373
00:16:11,373 --> 00:16:12,773
No one in mom's family's
a match,

374
00:16:12,841 --> 00:16:14,942
and as far as she knows,
dad has no living relatives.

375
00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:17,511
It's been years
since he died.

376
00:16:23,918 --> 00:16:27,788
If the kid's dad
died young of melanoma,

377
00:16:27,855 --> 00:16:30,256
how come
the overprotective mom

378
00:16:30,324 --> 00:16:32,258
never took him
to a dermatologist?

379
00:16:32,326 --> 00:16:33,292
Are you gonna test my urine
or what?

380
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:49,508
Not diabetes.

381
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:52,011
Use cross-matched platelets.

382
00:16:52,078 --> 00:16:53,178
Try to find the patient
some blood

383
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:54,679
that's closer to his own.

384
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:57,482
And get the real story
on clown, senior's death.

385
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,084
Mom's hiding something.

386
00:16:59,151 --> 00:17:00,952
It's a good bet that it's
medically relevant.

387
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:04,656
Apple juice.

388
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:07,926
Easiest way to fake a spike
in blood sugar.

389
00:17:12,132 --> 00:17:13,732
His family history
of melanoma

390
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,035
may have affected
his cellular outlook.

391
00:17:17,103 --> 00:17:18,636
If we had more data

392
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,772
on the exact type of melanoma
his father had—

393
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,912
Otherwise, we might not be able
to find a marrow match.

394
00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:29,348
He never had melanoma.

395
00:17:29,416 --> 00:17:30,282
How did he die?

396
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:33,519
He didn't.

397
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:41,560
He lives in Pennsauken
under a different name,

398
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:42,962
Mitchell Gordon.

399
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:45,331
How could you keep this
from me? From Ben?

400
00:17:48,935 --> 00:17:50,335
He really needs to know

401
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,804
his dad just breezed
in and out of his life,

402
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,439
drunk and incoherent?

403
00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:58,477
It's better to think
the man's dead but decent.

404
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:08,517
You realize I have to invite
someone else

405
00:18:08,518 --> 00:18:10,151
to the Rubio fight?

406
00:18:10,219 --> 00:18:11,720
Nope. No realization
whatsoever.

407
00:18:11,787 --> 00:18:13,855
You have a LoJack
on your leg.

408
00:18:13,922 --> 00:18:15,523
I was happy watching the fight
on pay-per-view.

409
00:18:15,591 --> 00:18:17,324
You're the one who insisted
we go to Atlantic City.

410
00:18:31,305 --> 00:18:33,340
Your biological father
was a decent,

411
00:18:33,407 --> 00:18:34,741
God-fearing minister.

412
00:18:34,809 --> 00:18:36,810
The guy who raised you
was a cold-hearted jerk.

413
00:18:36,878 --> 00:18:39,313
I'm trying to figure out
why you're so convinced

414
00:18:39,381 --> 00:18:42,050
Adams has parentally
inflicted damage.

415
00:18:42,118 --> 00:18:43,318
You're trying to deflect.

416
00:18:43,385 --> 00:18:44,986
Now you are.

417
00:18:45,054 --> 00:18:48,390
You have to believe that every
parent screws up every child

418
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:50,659
or you were screwed out of
a decent childhood.

419
00:18:50,727 --> 00:18:52,627
My decent daddy of the cloth

420
00:18:52,695 --> 00:18:56,064
was also being indecent
with my married mom.

421
00:18:56,132 --> 00:18:58,900
He probably would have taken
other kids to the playground.

422
00:19:01,804 --> 00:19:04,706
It's not my fault.
Bad parenting.

423
00:19:15,218 --> 00:19:16,586
Mitchell Gordon?

424
00:19:16,653 --> 00:19:19,021
I've already got a religion.
Go away.

425
00:19:19,089 --> 00:19:21,123
We're doctors.

426
00:19:21,191 --> 00:19:22,491
Your son Ben
is in the hospital,

427
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:23,559
at Princeton-Plainsboro.

428
00:19:23,627 --> 00:19:24,927
He's very sick.

429
00:19:28,197 --> 00:19:30,932
Yeah, well, I don't have
a son. Not anymore.

430
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,467
We know there are
some issues there,

431
00:19:32,535 --> 00:19:34,936
but your bone marrow
could cure him.

432
00:19:35,003 --> 00:19:37,238
There's a hospital
two miles from here.

433
00:19:37,305 --> 00:19:38,506
It's a simple test.

434
00:19:38,573 --> 00:19:40,408
You said he was at
Princeton-Plainsboro?

435
00:19:40,475 --> 00:19:43,811
His mother feels it's better
to do the test

436
00:19:43,879 --> 00:19:45,112
at a different hospital.

437
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:48,615
Well, I guess I don't have
a son anymore.

438
00:19:52,053 --> 00:19:53,753
House isn't gonna give up.

439
00:19:53,821 --> 00:19:55,455
Just tell him
about your parents

440
00:19:55,522 --> 00:19:56,789
or make up a lie.

441
00:19:56,857 --> 00:19:58,758
I don't want to lie.

442
00:19:58,826 --> 00:20:01,160
I don't want to validate
his ridiculous theory.

443
00:20:01,228 --> 00:20:02,962
It's not ridiculous.

444
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:04,597
Even the best-intentioned
parents

445
00:20:04,664 --> 00:20:05,997
end up
damaging their kids.

446
00:20:06,065 --> 00:20:08,901
You're a smart,
successful doctor.

447
00:20:08,968 --> 00:20:11,036
How much damage
could you have?

448
00:20:13,872 --> 00:20:17,340
Know how I got
interested in medicine?

449
00:20:17,408 --> 00:20:19,242
When my mother drank,
she couldn't handle me,

450
00:20:19,310 --> 00:20:22,211
so she locked me
in my father's study.

451
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,947
Only so many hours you can cry
and bang on the door

452
00:20:25,014 --> 00:20:28,249
before you give up,
find something to read.

453
00:20:28,317 --> 00:20:30,485
We all have
family dysfunction.

454
00:20:30,553 --> 00:20:33,956
That's why we're successful.
To fill that hole.

455
00:20:38,329 --> 00:20:41,798
My parents have
a lot of money,

456
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:45,202
but they didn't make it
legally.

457
00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:47,004
White-collar crime?

458
00:20:47,072 --> 00:20:49,273
It started with card games.

459
00:20:49,341 --> 00:20:52,209
High-stakes poker.

460
00:20:52,276 --> 00:20:54,778
Then my dad
got into narcotics,

461
00:20:54,846 --> 00:21:00,683
at first just selling
but then using too,

462
00:21:00,751 --> 00:21:03,385
or he never would have gotten
into the slave trade.

463
00:21:03,453 --> 00:21:07,054
Children mostly.
Easier to pack in small crates.

464
00:21:07,122 --> 00:21:09,189
Plus the shipping's
a lot cheaper.

465
00:21:12,227 --> 00:21:15,196
Won't even trust
a co-worker.

466
00:21:15,263 --> 00:21:17,131
What did your parents
do to you?

467
00:21:21,603 --> 00:21:22,870
You have to go
see him yourself.

468
00:21:22,937 --> 00:21:26,239
He wouldn't even come
to the door a second time.

469
00:21:26,307 --> 00:21:28,575
Okay.
I'll drive over there.

470
00:21:40,722 --> 00:21:42,189
It's a pleural effusion.

471
00:21:42,257 --> 00:21:43,524
He had a bleeding problem
earlier.

472
00:21:43,591 --> 00:21:44,858
Must be bleeding
into his lungs.

473
00:22:01,607 --> 00:22:03,541
Except there's no blood.

474
00:22:03,609 --> 00:22:04,842
What does it mean?

475
00:22:04,910 --> 00:22:06,176
It means you don't have to
make that drive.

476
00:22:06,244 --> 00:22:07,478
The problem
isn't his marrow.

477
00:22:07,545 --> 00:22:08,346
It's his liver.

478
00:22:12,724 --> 00:22:14,968
Liver failure.
Explains everything.

479
00:22:15,188 --> 00:22:17,690
The question is, what explains
the liver failure?

480
00:22:17,758 --> 00:22:19,058
It's not an infection.

481
00:22:19,125 --> 00:22:20,893
We tried antibiotics,
but he's not responding.

482
00:22:20,961 --> 00:22:22,561
More curiously,
what explains the mom

483
00:22:22,629 --> 00:22:27,066
lying about dad pushing up
squirting daisies?

484
00:22:27,133 --> 00:22:32,137
This is how you plan
to get to the boxing game?

485
00:22:32,205 --> 00:22:33,639
Why are you looking at her?

486
00:22:33,707 --> 00:22:37,476
'Cause I'm stunned, and
I have to look at something.

487
00:22:37,544 --> 00:22:43,549
Match, bout, fight,
contest, day, Helena.

488
00:22:43,617 --> 00:22:45,518
Almost anything works
after "boxing,"

489
00:22:45,586 --> 00:22:47,420
except the word "game."

490
00:22:47,488 --> 00:22:48,788
Your bigger problem is,

491
00:22:48,855 --> 00:22:50,756
the people who design
those things aren't idiots.

492
00:22:52,859 --> 00:22:55,226
Can you believe she used to
work in the can?

493
00:22:55,294 --> 00:22:56,661
Nothing is tamper-proof.

494
00:22:56,728 --> 00:22:57,929
It's a synthetic problem.

495
00:22:57,996 --> 00:22:59,763
His liver's not
synthesizing proteins,

496
00:22:59,831 --> 00:23:01,665
so fluid is leaking out
of his blood vessels.

497
00:23:01,732 --> 00:23:03,333
And mom's a selfish jerk.

498
00:23:03,401 --> 00:23:05,134
She traded up,
married a lawyer,

499
00:23:05,202 --> 00:23:07,436
wants to forget
the lowly circus clown.

500
00:23:07,504 --> 00:23:09,605
You're defending the father
because you feel like a jerk

501
00:23:09,673 --> 00:23:11,974
for baking buns
in two different ovens.

502
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:14,644
You want to believe the
mythical biological connection

503
00:23:14,711 --> 00:23:16,145
excuses being a man slut.

504
00:23:16,213 --> 00:23:17,980
Ow!

505
00:23:18,048 --> 00:23:19,649
I don't know why I'm starting
to doubt your expertise.

506
00:23:19,716 --> 00:23:21,418
You do have a classified ad
and a piece of metal.

507
00:23:21,485 --> 00:23:23,687
It's temperature that
sets it off, not force.

508
00:23:23,754 --> 00:23:25,422
The rivets go pop,
I slide in the heating pad.

509
00:23:25,489 --> 00:23:26,923
Easy peasy.

510
00:23:26,991 --> 00:23:28,691
More likely the patient has
a hyperammonemic problem.

511
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:30,494
His liver's not
cleaning out his blood.

512
00:23:30,561 --> 00:23:32,329
The buildup of toxins
is causing everything.

513
00:23:32,396 --> 00:23:34,064
I'm defending the dad
because he got screwed.

514
00:23:34,131 --> 00:23:35,965
After he lost his son,
he lost his job.

515
00:23:36,033 --> 00:23:38,133
Been in and out of rehab,
gave up clowning.

516
00:23:38,201 --> 00:23:40,202
Yes, as a parent,
I empathize.

517
00:23:40,269 --> 00:23:41,369
I say we tell the kid.

518
00:23:41,437 --> 00:23:43,405
He's a minor,
the mom's his guardian,

519
00:23:43,472 --> 00:23:45,540
and it's not even
medically relevant.

520
00:23:45,607 --> 00:23:47,842
She robbed them of
12 years together.

521
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:49,877
Or she ripped off
the band-aid too late.

522
00:23:49,945 --> 00:23:52,813
That memory that she let
son of Bozo establish

523
00:23:52,881 --> 00:23:55,616
is making him chase his father's
moronic profession

524
00:23:55,684 --> 00:23:59,688
when he could be living
the high life in Portland.

525
00:23:59,755 --> 00:24:02,123
And I mean that
metaphorically, of course.

526
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,763
This is where you dazzle me
with your contingency plan.

527
00:24:15,906 --> 00:24:20,075
I see why employers are
reluctant to hire ex-cons.

528
00:24:22,445 --> 00:24:25,046
Well, what about
the patient?

529
00:24:25,113 --> 00:24:27,882
Is the problem hyperammonemic
or synthetic?

530
00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:29,584
Can't treat for both.

531
00:24:29,651 --> 00:24:31,586
One requires hemodialysis,
the other a liver transplant,

532
00:24:31,654 --> 00:24:33,254
and we couldn't even get
the kid a marrow match.

533
00:24:33,322 --> 00:24:35,624
Get the mom's consent to
pump him full of protein.

534
00:24:35,692 --> 00:24:37,359
If it's a synthetic problem,

535
00:24:37,427 --> 00:24:38,594
more fluid will leak
into his chest

536
00:24:38,662 --> 00:24:39,662
and his heart will fail.

537
00:24:39,729 --> 00:24:41,230
If it's hyperammonemic,

538
00:24:41,298 --> 00:24:43,066
toxins will overwhelm his body
and he'll go into a coma.

539
00:24:43,133 --> 00:24:45,869
Do you only like tests that
involve the risk of death?

540
00:24:45,936 --> 00:24:47,404
There are some slower,
less conclusive tests,

541
00:24:47,472 --> 00:24:49,840
but why take that risk?

542
00:24:56,847 --> 00:24:58,248
In here.

543
00:25:04,322 --> 00:25:09,894
Oh, my God.
The water.

544
00:25:09,962 --> 00:25:11,896
This is completely
my fault.

545
00:25:15,201 --> 00:25:16,835
There are
very serious risks,

546
00:25:16,903 --> 00:25:18,336
but if we don't figure out
what he has,

547
00:25:18,404 --> 00:25:20,940
we can't treat him at all.

548
00:25:28,483 --> 00:25:30,383
I may be a little
out of bounds here,

549
00:25:30,451 --> 00:25:32,485
but in case there are
complications,

550
00:25:32,553 --> 00:25:34,720
it might be a good time
to come clean to your son,

551
00:25:34,788 --> 00:25:37,689
let his father visit.

552
00:25:37,757 --> 00:25:39,358
A little out of bounds?

553
00:25:39,425 --> 00:25:43,528
I don't know the history,
but everyone makes mistakes.

554
00:25:43,596 --> 00:25:45,096
Your son worships him.

555
00:25:45,164 --> 00:25:47,097
Doctor's right about that.

556
00:25:47,165 --> 00:25:49,900
Oh, yeah? And when
did he learn that?

557
00:25:49,968 --> 00:25:51,769
When he encouraged Ben
to drop out of school?

558
00:25:53,972 --> 00:25:55,807
Mitchell is not Ben's father

559
00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:57,609
any more than a sperm donor
would have been.

560
00:26:04,051 --> 00:26:06,652
Dr. House?

561
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,021
Unless you're a locksmith
or an electrician

562
00:26:09,089 --> 00:26:10,989
with political contacts,
I'm busy.

563
00:26:11,057 --> 00:26:12,724
My husband saw you
in the clinic.

564
00:26:12,792 --> 00:26:14,626
Wants treatment
for diabetes.

565
00:26:14,694 --> 00:26:17,095
My condolences
on your forthcoming divorce.

566
00:26:17,163 --> 00:26:18,730
He keeps
imagining symptoms,

567
00:26:18,798 --> 00:26:22,634
and now I have to make him
these awful anti-diabetic meals.

568
00:26:22,702 --> 00:26:24,703
Since I have no intention
of testing him,

569
00:26:24,771 --> 00:26:28,773
treating him,
or cooking for him—

570
00:26:28,841 --> 00:26:32,410
Could you write me a fake
prescription for Insulin?

571
00:26:32,478 --> 00:26:34,513
The advantage
of fake prescriptions is,

572
00:26:34,581 --> 00:26:36,615
you don't have to be
a real doctor to write one.

573
00:26:36,683 --> 00:26:39,751
Just tell me what's safe
to inject in his thigh.

574
00:26:39,819 --> 00:26:41,887
His symptoms will go away

575
00:26:41,955 --> 00:26:44,323
and then I can show him
he was never sick.

576
00:26:44,391 --> 00:26:45,424
Water?

577
00:26:45,491 --> 00:26:48,427
Imaginary medicine
is not my specialty.

578
00:26:48,495 --> 00:26:50,363
I do have
an imaginary colleague

579
00:26:50,430 --> 00:26:53,066
who's just sent me
an imaginary page.

580
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:54,434
Imagine how sorry I am.

581
00:27:02,878 --> 00:27:05,580
Still mad about
what happened in the lab?

582
00:27:05,648 --> 00:27:08,049
I'm not mad.
I'm being professional.

583
00:27:08,117 --> 00:27:10,785
You claim
you're not screwed up.

584
00:27:10,853 --> 00:27:12,386
You may even believe it.

585
00:27:12,454 --> 00:27:13,854
But House doesn't
and I don't,

586
00:27:13,922 --> 00:27:16,390
so you can wait till he camps
out on your parents' lawn

587
00:27:16,458 --> 00:27:18,325
or you can admit you don't
live on some higher plane

588
00:27:18,393 --> 00:27:19,593
and thank me later.

589
00:27:19,661 --> 00:27:22,495
My, uh, my eye feels weird.

590
00:27:26,967 --> 00:27:28,969
What's happening to me?

591
00:27:33,408 --> 00:27:34,676
You look tired.

592
00:27:34,743 --> 00:27:36,478
I hate it
when people say that.

593
00:27:36,545 --> 00:27:37,879
I know, I look bad.

594
00:27:37,947 --> 00:27:39,915
I thought you were gonna
go to bed early last night.

595
00:27:39,983 --> 00:27:42,752
Like an idiot, I went out
with my girlfriends

596
00:27:42,819 --> 00:27:44,086
to pretend I have a life,

597
00:27:44,154 --> 00:27:46,623
when all I did
was flirt with guys

598
00:27:46,690 --> 00:27:48,191
who'd have no interest
in a mom,

599
00:27:48,258 --> 00:27:50,426
miss the baby I couldn't
wait to get rid of,

600
00:27:50,493 --> 00:27:51,393
and then get yelled at
by my mom

601
00:27:51,461 --> 00:27:52,361
for staying out too late.

602
00:27:52,428 --> 00:27:53,962
You need your own place.
Yes.

603
00:27:54,030 --> 00:27:57,065
I moved back home because it was
too drafty at the Four Seasons.

604
00:27:57,132 --> 00:27:58,366
So go back to work
at the hospital.

605
00:27:58,433 --> 00:28:01,101
Day care costs more than
what I earned as a nurse.

606
00:28:01,169 --> 00:28:06,106
Have you considered
sub-standard day care?

607
00:28:06,174 --> 00:28:09,043
Why don't you
stay here tonight?

608
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:12,112
No. I mean,
in the guest room.

609
00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:13,481
I'll watch the baby again,

610
00:28:13,548 --> 00:28:14,415
and you can get
a real night's sleep.

611
00:28:14,483 --> 00:28:16,717
You'd do that?

612
00:28:25,061 --> 00:28:26,595
Win-win.

613
00:28:26,663 --> 00:28:28,197
Mommy gets a rest,

614
00:28:28,264 --> 00:28:30,966
daddy gets more time
with his little angel.

615
00:28:33,603 --> 00:28:35,870
There's some sweats
in the closet in the back.

616
00:28:39,875 --> 00:28:41,508
Lucky girl.

617
00:28:41,576 --> 00:28:46,479
Gets another sleepover
with da-da.

618
00:28:46,547 --> 00:28:50,216
It makes a difference.

619
00:28:50,283 --> 00:28:51,550
Doesn't it?

620
00:29:02,868 --> 00:29:04,569
Didn't answer your page
last night.

621
00:29:04,636 --> 00:29:06,070
Sorry. Battery died.

622
00:29:06,138 --> 00:29:07,605
We got the patient's eye
back in place

623
00:29:07,673 --> 00:29:09,274
with steroid injections,

624
00:29:09,342 --> 00:29:12,444
but a bulging eyeball means
it's not a liver problem.

625
00:29:12,511 --> 00:29:14,979
And mom's determination
to keep dad away,

626
00:29:15,047 --> 00:29:17,215
even as her kid
gets sicker and sicker,

627
00:29:17,283 --> 00:29:18,517
means she's
got more to hide.

628
00:29:18,584 --> 00:29:19,818
It's not diagnostically
relevant.

629
00:29:19,886 --> 00:29:20,886
Let's let it drop.

630
00:29:20,953 --> 00:29:21,953
You just lost my vote.

631
00:29:22,021 --> 00:29:24,355
You flip-flopped
on parental rights.

632
00:29:24,423 --> 00:29:25,857
I've been trying to
persuade the mother,

633
00:29:25,924 --> 00:29:27,625
but it's her son,
so it's her call.

634
00:29:27,693 --> 00:29:28,993
Well, that's
very evolved of you.

635
00:29:29,061 --> 00:29:32,663
Don't usually see Darwinian
changes over breakfast.

636
00:29:32,731 --> 00:29:37,134
You made nice-nice with Phil,
you decided that

637
00:29:37,202 --> 00:29:40,571
he'd make a decent father
for thing 2 after all.

638
00:29:40,639 --> 00:29:42,273
I had Sophie again
last night

639
00:29:42,341 --> 00:29:43,808
and Ruby slept
in my guest room,

640
00:29:43,875 --> 00:29:45,743
which has nothing to do
with Phil,

641
00:29:45,811 --> 00:29:47,779
who will never be a father
to my children.

642
00:29:47,846 --> 00:29:50,415
Angioneurotic edema can
cause rapid swelling.

643
00:29:50,482 --> 00:29:52,817
Hey, we're having
a conversation here.

644
00:29:52,885 --> 00:29:54,686
No abdominal pain.

645
00:29:54,753 --> 00:29:56,321
So that must have been nice,
having Ruby

646
00:29:56,388 --> 00:29:57,589
and the baby
under one roof.

647
00:29:57,657 --> 00:29:59,825
Yes, it was nice having
my daughter in my home.

648
00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:02,461
That's why I would like her
sister to live near my home.

649
00:30:02,529 --> 00:30:03,863
Anasarca?

650
00:30:03,931 --> 00:30:05,331
Swelling would have
followed gravity.

651
00:30:05,399 --> 00:30:08,334
Isn't that getting this whole
parenting thing ass backwards?

652
00:30:08,402 --> 00:30:11,003
Aren't you supposed to figure
out what you can sacrifice

653
00:30:11,071 --> 00:30:12,638
to maximize their niceness?

654
00:30:12,706 --> 00:30:14,607
And do you think I should
sacrifice myself

655
00:30:14,674 --> 00:30:15,474
from their lives?

656
00:30:15,542 --> 00:30:17,009
Just one life,

657
00:30:17,076 --> 00:30:20,612
until the other one's mommy
meets someone nicer than you.

658
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,714
Swelling that fast
and localized

659
00:30:22,782 --> 00:30:24,049
has to come
from the lymph nodes.

660
00:30:24,117 --> 00:30:25,917
Burkitt's lymphoma.

661
00:30:28,254 --> 00:30:32,391
Swelling. Cankles.

662
00:30:32,459 --> 00:30:33,559
That's not a symptom
of Burkitt's.

663
00:30:33,627 --> 00:30:36,195
Are you saying it's—
it's Burkitt's.

664
00:30:36,263 --> 00:30:37,630
Prep him for chemo.

665
00:30:50,444 --> 00:30:51,611
I think you should
give House permission

666
00:30:51,678 --> 00:30:52,945
to go to Atlantic City.

667
00:30:53,013 --> 00:30:55,682
We'll stop by
the rheumatology conference.

668
00:30:55,749 --> 00:30:57,917
Everyone's covered.
No.

669
00:30:57,985 --> 00:31:01,788
The guy has earned the right
to go to one boxing match.

670
00:31:01,855 --> 00:31:03,556
He's done everything
you've asked—

671
00:31:03,624 --> 00:31:05,358
funded and staffed
his own department.

672
00:31:05,426 --> 00:31:07,760
Hasn't even broken as much
as a traffic law.

673
00:31:07,828 --> 00:31:10,163
You're right.

674
00:31:10,231 --> 00:31:12,299
So you'll let him go?

675
00:31:12,367 --> 00:31:14,001
No.

676
00:31:14,069 --> 00:31:16,271
I get why he wants to go
to that fight.

677
00:31:16,338 --> 00:31:17,839
I'd love to go myself,

678
00:31:17,907 --> 00:31:19,507
which is kind of
why I have to stop him.

679
00:31:19,575 --> 00:31:21,977
My job is to be the jerk.

680
00:31:22,045 --> 00:31:24,280
House has to believe that
I have authority over him.

681
00:31:24,348 --> 00:31:26,649
He can't function
under someone's thumb.

682
00:31:26,717 --> 00:31:28,785
I know, which means
you can't go either.

683
00:31:32,956 --> 00:31:35,491
Your job is to be
his friend,

684
00:31:35,558 --> 00:31:37,126
to stay here
and sit with him

685
00:31:37,193 --> 00:31:38,427
and watch the fight
on pay-per-view

686
00:31:38,495 --> 00:31:39,395
while bitching about me.

687
00:31:39,463 --> 00:31:40,963
If we both do our jobs,

688
00:31:41,031 --> 00:31:43,398
we might actually get him
through his parole.

689
00:31:47,237 --> 00:31:48,972
You're right.

690
00:31:52,877 --> 00:31:54,411
Sorry to show up like this.

691
00:31:54,478 --> 00:31:56,246
I was expecting
a battery of lawyers.

692
00:31:56,314 --> 00:31:57,714
No lawyers.

693
00:31:57,782 --> 00:32:00,484
Phil had something that
he would like to say,

694
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:03,920
so I thought that he should
say it in person.

695
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:06,724
It was wrong of me
to confront you

696
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:08,192
about taking Rachel
to Portland.

697
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:11,229
You don't want to move
to Portland?

698
00:32:11,297 --> 00:32:14,399
Of course I do, but this is
about your daughter too

699
00:32:14,467 --> 00:32:15,934
and I'm not gonna do
something like this

700
00:32:16,002 --> 00:32:17,703
without your support.

701
00:32:17,771 --> 00:32:20,972
So you guys are trying
to manipulate me

702
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,040
by playing
good cop/good cop?

703
00:32:23,108 --> 00:32:26,777
Is that how little
you think of me?

704
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:30,248
It's clear you're back
working for House.

705
00:32:30,316 --> 00:32:32,316
I will see you this weekend
when you pick up Sophie.

706
00:32:32,384 --> 00:32:33,952
Sophia.

707
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:35,620
We actually started
calling her Sophie.

708
00:32:35,688 --> 00:32:36,621
Yeah.

709
00:32:36,689 --> 00:32:38,990
Great.

710
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:41,592
It's cute.

711
00:32:48,033 --> 00:32:49,500
Cankles.

712
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:52,704
Is there some problem with
the prescription you gave me?

713
00:32:52,772 --> 00:32:56,075
I'm faint. I've been
gaining more weight.

714
00:32:56,142 --> 00:32:57,610
I think I need
a bigger dose.

715
00:32:57,678 --> 00:33:00,380
If you double his placebo,
he might drown.

716
00:33:00,448 --> 00:33:06,087
Also, you forgot to mention
that your heart rate is slow.

717
00:33:06,155 --> 00:33:07,489
My—my heart rate is not—

718
00:33:08,957 --> 00:33:12,126
52.
The technical term is slow.

719
00:33:12,194 --> 00:33:15,697
Those awful anti-diabetic
meals you eat,

720
00:33:15,764 --> 00:33:17,332
do they contain bok choy?

721
00:33:17,399 --> 00:33:19,000
A pound of it.
Every day.

722
00:33:19,067 --> 00:33:24,506
Bok choy has glucosinolates
which inhibit thyroid function

723
00:33:24,573 --> 00:33:26,541
and account
for all your symptoms.

724
00:33:26,609 --> 00:33:28,944
So this isn't diabetes?

725
00:33:29,012 --> 00:33:31,881
You have a bad case
of irony.

726
00:33:31,949 --> 00:33:33,516
The food that you're eating
to stop making you sick

727
00:33:33,584 --> 00:33:35,118
is making you sick.

728
00:33:35,186 --> 00:33:38,455
Hey, maybe I don't have my
father's crummy genes after all.

729
00:33:38,523 --> 00:33:40,691
On the other hand,
maybe you're fat enough

730
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:41,993
to get diabetes
even without him.

731
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,568
I can't believe
I have cancer.

732
00:33:50,636 --> 00:33:54,238
We caught it early.
You should be okay.

733
00:33:54,305 --> 00:33:57,607
I could die. I never went
anywhere, did anything.

734
00:33:57,675 --> 00:33:59,776
If my father had lived,

735
00:33:59,844 --> 00:34:02,278
everything would have
been different.

736
00:34:02,346 --> 00:34:04,880
Your mom and stepdad
love you.

737
00:34:04,948 --> 00:34:07,015
They've given you
a great home.

738
00:34:07,083 --> 00:34:10,153
That counts for a lot.

739
00:34:12,422 --> 00:34:14,290
He's crashing.
Everything's shutting down.

740
00:34:22,733 --> 00:34:25,053
Renal failure, lung failure,
heart failure,

741
00:34:25,054 --> 00:34:26,955
all before we started chemo.

742
00:34:27,022 --> 00:34:29,624
Burkitt's lymphoma is
fast-moving, but not this fast.

743
00:34:32,595 --> 00:34:37,566
No rush. ICU stands for
take your time in Latin.

744
00:34:37,633 --> 00:34:39,768
Multiple aneurysms.

745
00:34:39,835 --> 00:34:41,870
That would mean that every
symptom after his T.I.A.

746
00:34:41,938 --> 00:34:42,904
was a coincidence.

747
00:34:42,972 --> 00:34:44,372
Cholesterol emboli?

748
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,941
Bingo. Fits perfectly.
Check the file.

749
00:34:47,009 --> 00:34:49,511
Confirm that we did major
abdominal surgery on him

750
00:34:49,578 --> 00:34:52,880
and then completely
forgot about it.

751
00:34:52,948 --> 00:34:53,648
House.

752
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,252
Hello?

753
00:35:02,055 --> 00:35:04,356
What the hell
are you doing here?

754
00:35:04,423 --> 00:35:06,257
I was told that this might be
my last chance to see my son.

755
00:35:06,325 --> 00:35:09,261
You had no right!
This is none of your business!

756
00:35:09,328 --> 00:35:11,362
- I didn't.
- I called him.

757
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:12,830
This man's Ben's hero.

758
00:35:12,898 --> 00:35:14,031
Let them spend
five minutes together.

759
00:35:16,668 --> 00:35:19,703
No! Get out of here!

760
00:35:24,809 --> 00:35:26,444
Wait.

761
00:35:32,884 --> 00:35:35,019
You sexually molested
your son.

762
00:35:35,086 --> 00:35:36,554
Your walk.

763
00:35:36,621 --> 00:35:38,289
Tabes dorsalis.

764
00:35:38,356 --> 00:35:40,725
You have
late-stage syphilis,

765
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:44,462
which you gave to our patient
presumably 12 years ago,

766
00:35:44,530 --> 00:35:47,933
which also explains why mom
is not big on family reunions.

767
00:35:49,702 --> 00:35:52,037
I shouldn't be here.

768
00:36:00,313 --> 00:36:04,516
We tested him for syphilis.
He was negative.

769
00:36:04,584 --> 00:36:07,953
After 12 years, the active
infection would have died down

770
00:36:08,021 --> 00:36:10,556
everywhere except the arteries
in his brain,

771
00:36:10,623 --> 00:36:12,224
where it could hide out
from our tests.

772
00:36:12,292 --> 00:36:14,159
But when
that six-year-old heckler

773
00:36:14,227 --> 00:36:16,261
punched him
in his juggling pins,

774
00:36:16,329 --> 00:36:18,997
it kicked up the dormant
bacteria in his pelvis.

775
00:36:19,065 --> 00:36:20,732
The immunosuppressants
we gave him

776
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,200
sent it into overdrive.

777
00:36:22,268 --> 00:36:23,935
The antibiotics we gave him

778
00:36:24,003 --> 00:36:25,970
actually started destroying
the syphilis.

779
00:36:26,038 --> 00:36:28,239
But like pouring water
on a fire,

780
00:36:28,306 --> 00:36:30,541
that led to a trail
of toxic smoke and ash

781
00:36:30,608 --> 00:36:32,976
which made his immune system
overcompensate.

782
00:36:33,044 --> 00:36:35,511
Severe Jarisch-Herxheimer
reaction.

783
00:36:35,579 --> 00:36:37,880
Is this true?

784
00:36:37,948 --> 00:36:39,348
Yes, Jarisch-Herxheimer
is real.

785
00:36:39,416 --> 00:36:41,384
It sounds silly, but...

786
00:36:41,452 --> 00:36:44,388
Oh, you mean
the—the—right.

787
00:36:47,925 --> 00:36:53,063
I found stains
on his clothes.

788
00:36:54,932 --> 00:36:59,303
He didn't understand
and he didn't seem traumatized.

789
00:36:59,371 --> 00:37:04,442
I kept trying to talk to him,
but before long, he'd forgotten,

790
00:37:04,509 --> 00:37:07,078
and he seemed—

791
00:37:07,145 --> 00:37:10,214
and he seemed happy
and he seemed normal.

792
00:37:10,282 --> 00:37:11,682
So you made daddy go away

793
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:15,153
and you made sure junior had
no reason to go looking.

794
00:37:15,221 --> 00:37:17,422
I was just trying
to protect him,

795
00:37:17,490 --> 00:37:21,326
like I should have done
from the start.

796
00:37:23,363 --> 00:37:24,496
Sorry.

797
00:37:27,701 --> 00:37:30,837
IV penicillin
and anti-TNF antibodies,

798
00:37:30,905 --> 00:37:32,572
he'll be fine.

799
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,311
Apart from the whole
daddy-rape thing.

800
00:37:43,050 --> 00:37:44,784
We're not done.

801
00:37:44,852 --> 00:37:46,519
No, we are not.

802
00:37:46,586 --> 00:37:48,654
Notify the dad's
sexual partners.

803
00:37:48,722 --> 00:37:50,923
Notify his employer,
his landlord.

804
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:52,357
Notify the police.

805
00:37:52,425 --> 00:37:53,825
I meant the kid.

806
00:37:53,893 --> 00:37:55,560
We're not gonna tell him
he was molested?

807
00:37:55,628 --> 00:37:58,597
To make him miserable or
to forfeit your license?

808
00:37:58,665 --> 00:38:00,165
To tell him the truth.

809
00:38:00,233 --> 00:38:03,202
He's a virgin.
How do we explain the STD?

810
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:04,971
It's a medical diagnosis.
Screw the parents.

811
00:38:05,038 --> 00:38:06,172
The kid's our patient.

812
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,074
I guess Taub's got
a tough choice to make

813
00:38:08,141 --> 00:38:09,909
when the kid wakes up.

814
00:38:09,976 --> 00:38:11,344
Why is it my choice?

815
00:38:11,411 --> 00:38:12,912
'Cause you're a dad.

816
00:38:12,980 --> 00:38:15,448
How could the rest of us
possibly understand?

817
00:38:24,392 --> 00:38:26,795
What was—
what was wrong with me?

818
00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:31,767
It's called syphilis.

819
00:38:31,835 --> 00:38:37,339
Uh, you—you can get that
without having sex?

820
00:38:50,852 --> 00:38:52,320
I didn't tell him.

821
00:38:55,390 --> 00:38:57,258
Your heart said
he needed to know.

822
00:38:57,325 --> 00:39:01,696
Your brain knew he's
better off without it.

823
00:39:01,764 --> 00:39:03,665
Following
your heart is easy.

824
00:39:03,733 --> 00:39:05,401
Following your brain
is tough.

825
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,469
Especially after years
of following

826
00:39:07,537 --> 00:39:10,106
that much smaller
third organ.

827
00:39:10,173 --> 00:39:15,478
That's why all parents
screw up all children.

828
00:39:23,286 --> 00:39:24,820
Evening.

829
00:39:29,591 --> 00:39:35,162
Clever tactic, pretending
you're not interested anymore.

830
00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:38,799
How could that possibly work
as a tactic?

831
00:39:38,867 --> 00:39:40,902
The fact is, once I saw
those incompletes,

832
00:39:40,969 --> 00:39:42,704
I knew your parents
screwed you up.

833
00:39:42,772 --> 00:39:46,508
The details
are just gravy.

834
00:39:46,576 --> 00:39:49,078
You're wrong.

835
00:39:49,146 --> 00:39:52,715
The only evidence you have
is proof of something else.

836
00:39:54,351 --> 00:39:57,053
I ran away from home.

837
00:39:59,389 --> 00:40:02,325
Because you had
lousy parents.

838
00:40:02,392 --> 00:40:05,894
Because I didn't.

839
00:40:05,962 --> 00:40:09,230
All my friends' parents
were divorced

840
00:40:09,298 --> 00:40:11,032
or having affairs

841
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:15,770
or barely knew
their kids' birthdays.

842
00:40:15,838 --> 00:40:20,041
You envied
their dysfunction?

843
00:40:20,109 --> 00:40:24,680
I-I thought it made them
deeper somehow.

844
00:40:28,218 --> 00:40:30,287
It was stupid.

845
00:40:30,354 --> 00:40:33,958
I hitchhiked to Manhattan,
moved in with an older guy.

846
00:40:34,025 --> 00:40:37,295
In two months,
I came running home.

847
00:40:37,363 --> 00:40:41,599
It took my parents years
to get over it.

848
00:40:41,666 --> 00:40:44,768
That's when you
started to excel.

849
00:40:44,836 --> 00:40:48,271
You were making it up
to them.

850
00:40:48,338 --> 00:40:52,007
Your parents screwed you up
by not screwing you up.

851
00:40:52,075 --> 00:40:54,210
How does briefly
wishing I was screwed up

852
00:40:54,277 --> 00:40:56,978
make me screwed up?

853
00:40:57,046 --> 00:40:58,913
It's normal to be
screwed up.

854
00:40:58,981 --> 00:41:02,384
It's really screwed up
to romanticize it.

855
00:41:02,451 --> 00:41:06,654
I guess that's why you wanted
to work with prisoners.

856
00:41:06,722 --> 00:41:10,391
It's why I wanted
to work with you.

857
00:41:14,163 --> 00:41:16,097
It was a tactic.

858
00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:35,351
Chris.

859
00:41:35,418 --> 00:41:36,485
Yeah.

860
00:41:36,552 --> 00:41:39,054
I need to talk to you
and Phil.

861
00:41:41,224 --> 00:41:44,360
Is everything okay?

862
00:41:44,427 --> 00:41:46,061
Yeah.

863
00:41:56,673 --> 00:41:59,408
I can't let you move.

864
00:41:59,476 --> 00:42:00,876
You drove all the way
out here

865
00:42:00,944 --> 00:42:03,112
just to tell us
what you already told us.

866
00:42:03,179 --> 00:42:06,282
I'm sorry.

867
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:17,459
House, open up.

868
00:42:17,527 --> 00:42:19,028
I don't want to miss
the opening bell.

869
00:42:23,099 --> 00:42:24,933
House?

870
00:42:35,443 --> 00:42:38,746
Telecast, we expect
an electric atmosphere

871
00:42:38,814 --> 00:42:41,048
in the arena and a sellout
crowd of about 10,000

872
00:42:41,116 --> 00:42:43,785
for Rubio versus Santos,
two great fighters

873
00:42:43,853 --> 00:42:45,521
with illustrious careers

874
00:42:45,588 --> 00:42:47,389
who might have been expected
to meet a long time ago.

875
00:42:47,457 --> 00:42:49,759
As for Santos,
his handlers tell us

876
00:42:49,827 --> 00:42:50,994
that he's done more roadwork

877
00:42:51,061 --> 00:42:52,629
than at any time
in his career,

878
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:55,999
hoping to prove tonight that
he can box for 12 full rounds.

879
00:42:56,067 --> 00:42:59,136
Significant because Santos
hasn't heard the final bell

880
00:42:59,203 --> 00:43:01,338
in more than six years.

881
00:43:01,406 --> 00:43:03,373
He comes in with
11 straight knockout wins

882
00:43:03,441 --> 00:43:06,276
and we saw how a power puncher
with a left hook

883
00:43:06,344 --> 00:43:08,612
was able to cut Rubio
over the right eye

884
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,347
in the tenth round
of that last fight.

885
00:43:10,372 --> 00:43:14,372
