1. - I gotta go.
- No, no. He'll be here.
Copy !req
2. - I'm sure he's just running a little late.
- He's canceled two exams. He's not gonna—
Copy !req
3. He's scared of you.
Sure.
Copy !req
4. The ex-boy toy.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Copy !req
5. - He wasn't scared before.
- Right.
Copy !req
6. You think being afraid of me
is a symptom of a serious ailment?
Copy !req
7. Sudden mood swings,
infantile regression, abdominal pain.
Copy !req
8. He's passed out twice.
Yeah, I think it might be
a medical problem.
Copy !req
9. - He's 20 minutes late.
I'm out of here.
- Please.
Copy !req
10. He'll be here.
Why?
Copy !req
11. Because he loves you
and does everything he's told?
Copy !req
12. Because I didn't tell him you'd be here.
Copy !req
13. - He likes to see.
- Yes, he does.
Copy !req
14. Stace?
Copy !req
15. - What's going on?
- Hey.
Copy !req
16. Hi. I'm Greg House.
You must be Matt.
Copy !req
17. - Mark.
- Mark Warner. Don't get up.
Copy !req
18. Sorry. Parent conferences.
Hi.
It's okay.
Copy !req
19. - Wow. Greg House.
- Yeah. Wow.
Copy !req
20. No, I haven't been avoiding you.
I just didn't want to waste your time.
Copy !req
21. The other doctors checked me out.
They said it was just stress.
Copy !req
22. - College season.
Kids, parents— They're all over me.
- Makes sense to me.
Copy !req
23. - Greg.
- What do you want me to do?
- You said you'd check him out.
Copy !req
24. He says he's healthy.
What's to check out?
Copy !req
25. Sorry for the mix-up,
but I'm glad you two
got a chance to catch up.
Copy !req
26. - Looks like you're having fun.
- Oh, he's good.
Copy !req
27. If you can fake sincerity,
you can fake pretty much anything.
Copy !req
28. - I can't tell you how much I like your fella.
- Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
29. You know,
I thought you'd be all sarcastic.
Copy !req
30. Bitter, you know,
because Stacy married me.
Copy !req
31. We should do things together.
Maybe throw a ball around
or something. Guy stuff.
Copy !req
32. - We could go for a run together.
- Ah! It's Oscar Wilde.
Copy !req
33. Wow. This pissing contest
is really turning me on.
Copy !req
34. He needs to go to the hospital.
Here's to women.
Copy !req
35. Can't live with 'em,
you can't kill 'em and tell the neighbors
they're stripping in Atlantic City.
Copy !req
36. Damn straight.
Copy !req
37. - I'm definitely taller.
- I have more hair.
Copy !req
38. And I think that— Whoa.
Copy !req
39. Mark?
Copy !req
40. - Someone call 911 for a wagon
to Princeton Plainsboro?
- Garзon!
Copy !req
41. - What happened?
- It's okay, ladies and gentlemen.
Nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
42. - Unless you had the veal.
- You dosed him.
Copy !req
43. I told you I'd check him out.
I was a little worried they were gonna
get here before he passed out.
Copy !req
44. Would have been tougher
to get him to drink.
Copy !req
45. I'll give you a ride.
We can talk.
Copy !req
46. A tummy ache, cranky—
no apparent source.
Copy !req
47. Any thoughts?
Copy !req
48. Foreman, you're gonna contribute,
or are you too tired from stealing cars?
Copy !req
49. - I'm being House. It's funny.
- I know. You made milk come out of my nose.
Copy !req
50. Morning. You guys got the file.
What's wrong?
Copy !req
51. Previous tests revealed nothing
that would cause abdominal pain
or the mood swings.
Copy !req
52. Then we're done.
What do you think? Ball game? Zoo?
Copy !req
53. - I don't care.
I just want to hang with you guys.
- What about drugs?
Copy !req
54. His tox screen on admission showed
a massive amount of chloral hydrate.
Copy !req
55. Yeah. Sorry. That was me.
Copy !req
56. I had to dope him up
to get him in here.
Copy !req
57. Guy doesn't think he's sick.
Who does?
Copy !req
58. His wife.
The woman you used to live with.
Copy !req
59. That's her Indian name.
On her driver's license it's Stacy.
Copy !req
60. I assume you have a point.
Copy !req
61. You believe her over the patient himself.
That's why we're taking this case.
Copy !req
62. The truth?
I hear voices all the time
telling me to do stuff.
Copy !req
63. - It's crazy, huh?
- What happened to "everybody lies"?
Copy !req
64. I was lying.
Copy !req
65. Do the things— the blah, blah, blah, blah.
All that stuff the other docs did.
Copy !req
66. If that's negative,
ultrasound his belly.
Copy !req
67. If that's negative, C.T. his abdomen
and pelvis with and without contrast.
Copy !req
68. - Did I miss anything?
- Kitchen sink.
Copy !req
69. Well, we could certainly give that—
Oh, you minx!
Copy !req
70. What you're thinking is,
you're going to save him,
be a hero and win her back.
Copy !req
71. It's always impressive,
that level of twisted narcissism.
Copy !req
72. She's married.
Big clue I lost the game.
Copy !req
73. You can't be within 50 feet
of Stacy Warner.
Copy !req
74. Thought she wanted me
to treat him.
Copy !req
75. Treat the husband,
stay away from the wife.
Copy !req
76. But what if they get close to each other?
What do I do then?
Copy !req
77. Hey. You have to treat this
like a regular case.
Copy !req
78. Be yourself—
cold, uncaring, distant.
Copy !req
79. Please, don't put me on a pedestal.
Copy !req
80. We C.T.'d your abdomen.
Nothing that would explain
the stomach pain.
Copy !req
81. - What's the next move?
- Leaving.
Copy !req
82. How many more tests do I need?
Copy !req
83. How many more doctors need to clear me
before we can get back to our life?
Copy !req
84. - Just one.
- House.
Copy !req
85. It must be awkward
being treated by a man who used to
be involved with your wife.
Copy !req
86. It's awkward being in a hospital
when there's nothing wrong with me.
Copy !req
87. M.R.A.'s were clean,
which means he's probably fine.
Copy !req
88. He doesn't seem paranoid.
He shows no signs of—
Copy !req
89. No. It means we have no idea
what's wrong with him.
Copy !req
90. Ben Goldstein says his schedule's locked.
He can't do it before tomorrow.
Copy !req
91. No. Today. Call him,
tell him I'll make it work.
Copy !req
92. You're cutting him open?
Copy !req
93. Oh, hold it. There's no need
for exploratory surgery.
Copy !req
94. Dr. Cameron has a diagnosis.
Copy !req
95. No, I just think it's premature
and maybe irresponsible...
Copy !req
96. to do exploratory surgery
before we know he's actually sick.
Copy !req
97. No, it's "premature" to put him
on a list for hospice care.
Copy !req
98. And it's "maybe irresponsible"
to imply my actions are not
rationally supported.
Copy !req
99. All we have is his wife—
Who says his stomach hurts.
Copy !req
100. Works for me.
The patient doesn't even think he's sick.
Why would he consent to—
Copy !req
101. His wife's a lawyer.
She's very convincing.
Copy !req
102. Call Goldstein. Surgery is on.
Copy !req
103. Retract.
Copy !req
104. Insert.
Copy !req
105. Leslie versus Leslie
seems to be right on point,
Copy !req
106. but I'm sure they're going to
try to distinguish it by—
Copy !req
107. Sorry. They'll try to distinguish it
relying on the minority opinion.
Copy !req
108. Double milk, no sugar.
Copy !req
109. I like sugar now.
Copy !req
110. Some people would be
annoyed by that.
Copy !req
111. You know why people
sit in waiting rooms?
This is gonna be good.
Copy !req
112. People think the closer they're
sitting to the operating room,
the more they care.
Copy !req
113. That's why I'm here.
I'm not moving until everybody sees me.
Copy !req
114. Are you doing anybody
besides Mark?
Copy !req
115. It's a medical question.
Because if I am,
his paranoia isn't paranoia.
Copy !req
116. It's a justified response
and therefore not a legitimate symptom.
Copy !req
117. Knew you'd understand.
Copy !req
118. On the other hand,
if it was really just a medical question,
you would have sent one of your people.
Copy !req
119. Why just push my buttons
when you can push theirs too?
Copy !req
120. Hey, Dr. Mandingo, go ask the wife
if she's been messin' around.
Copy !req
121. But you're asking
because if I am... unfaithful,
Copy !req
122. I might sleep with you.
Copy !req
123. The answer's no.
I don't sleep around.
Make sure you note that in his file.
Copy !req
124. Mrs. Warner.
Copy !req
125. The surgery went well.
He's in Recovery.
You can see him now.
Copy !req
126. Goldstein found nothing
but a distended bladder.
Copy !req
127. Neurogenic bladder
isn't causing the pain.
Copy !req
128. It also doesn't cause
personality changes.
Copy !req
129. On the other hand,
it would completely account
for Cameron's diagnosis.
Copy !req
130. The patient's completely healthy.
Copy !req
131. Get me the video of the surgery.
Copy !req
132. Dr. Mandingo, you're needed
at the plantation house.
Copy !req
133. Well, don't everybody talk at once.
Copy !req
134. There's nothing there.
Copy !req
135. Stop looking at
the suspiciously empty bottle
and look at the screen.
Copy !req
136. Here's why I get the big bucks.
Copy !req
137. This is nothing.
Copy !req
138. An enhanced version of nothing.
Copy !req
139. This... is the problem.
Copy !req
140. - Unbelievable.
- Tremors in the muscle fiber.
Copy !req
141. That's not peristalsis.
Copy !req
142. - That's abdominal epilepsy.
- Means there's some sort
of neurological problem.
Copy !req
143. A time bomb in his brain.
Copy !req
144. I forget.
Who said it was nothing?
Copy !req
145. I saw a very small, diffuse
abnormality in the brain waves.
Probably white matter.
Copy !req
146. Means his axonal nerves
are dying.
Copy !req
147. Explains
the neurogenic bladder.
Enough nerves die, he dies.
Copy !req
148. Global axonal nerve death.
Copy !req
149. Likely causes are encephalitis
or Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
150. Early onset Alzheimer's.
The worst.
Copy !req
151. He won't die right away.
He'll just want to.
Copy !req
152. I'll check the blood
for Alzheimer's protein markers.
Copy !req
153. Last I heard, Alzheimer's
had a genetic component.
Did the patient have parents?
Copy !req
154. Parents died in a car crash.
No history of dementia.
Copy !req
155. Send C.S.F. for C.B.C.
and viral serologies
to rule out encephalitis...
Copy !req
156. and get tau proteins
to check for Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
157. And this still feels a little light.
Copy !req
158. I took a complete medical history.
Check out their house.
Take Sparky with you.
Copy !req
159. - They live in Short Hills. Two hours away.
- You can expense the tolls.
Copy !req
160. You're not interested
in a medical history.
Copy !req
161. You're a Peeping Tom
trying to spy on your ex.
Copy !req
162. Her secret diary—
That's the main thing.
Copy !req
163. But as long as you're there,
take a peek in the medicine cabinet.
Copy !req
164. Check for toxins, heavy metals—
anything that might explain this
other than encephalitis or Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
165. And get receipts for the tolls.
Copy !req
166. Making lunch?
I assume that's for Mark.
Copy !req
167. We know about his parents.
What about further back?
Copy !req
168. Grandparents, uncles, aunts.
How was their health?
Greg hates fishing.
Copy !req
169. He's got a theory.
Copy !req
170. Most likely candidate right now
is Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
171. No. There's been no memory loss.
Copy !req
172. I mean, he forgets
where he left his keys,
but who doesn't?
Copy !req
173. Any family history?
Copy !req
174. Of... whacked-outness?
Copy !req
175. His sister voted for Nader, twice.
That's about it.
Copy !req
176. You were with House
when it happened— to his leg?
Copy !req
177. Oh.
Copy !req
178. You're interested in him.
Copy !req
179. We went on one date.
Copy !req
180. It didn't go very well.
Copy !req
181. Our first date didn't either.
I was never gonna see him again.
A week later, I moved in.
Copy !req
182. Five years.
What would you like to know?
Copy !req
183. What was he like before his leg?
Copy !req
184. Pretty much the same.
Copy !req
185. He's clear.
No Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
186. Yeah, that's what I figured.
Copy !req
187. Serious mountain bike.
Hasn't been used in a while though.
Copy !req
188. He switched to yoga.
Brand-new yoga mat and tape.
Copy !req
189. Man's getting older.
Or it might indicate back pain.
Copy !req
190. Wife would have mentioned it.
Yoga's good for picking up
the ladies too.
Copy !req
191. Not when you do it
in your own home.
Copy !req
192. Change could be just a change,
not a symptom.
Copy !req
193. Chase.
Copy !req
194. "Dear 'House' boys, a snack
for your highly illegal search.
Copy !req
195. Hope you like oatmeal raisin.
Love, Stacy".
Copy !req
196. Whoa. In a desk drawer,
hidden in the back
under some papers.
Copy !req
197. Secret stash.
Copy !req
198. Amphetamines.
Regular use could lead
to neurotoxicity.
Copy !req
199. Explains the axonal nerve damage
and the personality issues.
Copy !req
200. On the other hand,
"Prescribed to W. Brown".
Copy !req
201. Fake name.
Fake prescription.
Copy !req
202. Could be, but the prescribing doc,
his name's real.
Copy !req
203. This guy's just had his license pulled
for writing illegal prescriptions
to high school kids.
Copy !req
204. Mark's a high school
guidance counselor.
Copy !req
205. And Mr. Brown's birth date
makes him 17 years old.
Copy !req
206. Do you think maybe these
were confiscated by a high school
guidance counselor?
Copy !req
207. Anything else?
Um, yeah, he switched
from mountain biking to yoga.
Copy !req
208. - Could indicate—
- He's getting older.
Copy !req
209. - What did the C.S.F. say about encephalitis?
- Said no. Champagne tap.
Copy !req
210. No red cells, no white cells.
Serology's negative.
Which means we're back to Alzheimer's.
Copy !req
211. I told her he didn't have it.
The marker tests were negative.
Copy !req
212. Well, then you
should have told her that.
He could still have it.
Copy !req
213. PET scan will reveal
any changing metabolic activity
in the cerebral cortex.
Copy !req
214. Run him through
and check his memory.
Copy !req
215. We're going to
inject a chemical marker
called F.D.D.N.P.
Copy !req
216. - Then I'm gonna ask you a series of questions.
- Test my memory.
Copy !req
217. Yeah, but first we're gonna map out
some specific brain functions.
Copy !req
218. You know, check out the engine
before we take the car for a drive.
Copy !req
219. Checking up on me?
Copy !req
220. - I like all the pretty lights.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
221. Okay.
Here we go.
Copy !req
222. Your full name?
Mark Warner.
Copy !req
223. - Is your mother living?
- No.
Copy !req
224. Limbic system's intact.
Copy !req
225. Okay, say you find
a stamped envelope on the street.
What do you do?
Copy !req
226. - Find a mailbox and mail it.
- Geez. What a guy.
Copy !req
227. His frontal lobe is working
way better than mine.
Copy !req
228. Do you remember
when you got married?
Copy !req
229. Three years ago this July.
Who is that?
Copy !req
230. What? Could be a problem
with his long-term memory.
Copy !req
231. - Big church wedding?
- Is that House?
Copy !req
232. He remembers voices.
This serves
no diagnostic purpose.
Copy !req
233. I thought you skimped
on the limbic system there.
Copy !req
234. Emotional reactions.
I just want to be thorough.
Copy !req
235. Did the atheistic bride
wear a pretty white dress?
Copy !req
236. Was she thinking of you?
Is that what you medically
need to know?
Copy !req
237. What jewelry did your bride wear?
Copy !req
238. She never wears any jewelry,
except the cross her mother gave to her.
Copy !req
239. No underwear either,
at least not that day.
Copy !req
240. I remember 'cause she ripped
her pretty white dress off in the car.
Copy !req
241. That the sort of answer
you're looking for, Doctor?
Copy !req
242. I think I upset him.
You gotta stop this now.
Copy !req
243. I remember the honeymoon was in Paris.
I remember 'cause we didn't leave
the room for two weeks.
Copy !req
244. - You want the details on that?
- A little defensive.
Copy !req
245. It's not paranoia
if someone's out to get you.
Copy !req
246. Here we go.
Copy !req
247. He's sick, paranoid, and you
keep hammering him about me?
Copy !req
248. The questions were designed
to define the operational parameters
of his limbic system.
Copy !req
249. Elevate the words all you want.
You were just screwing with him.
Low, even by your standards.
Copy !req
250. Medical screwing. It's what I do.
Copy !req
251. Then you run away like a 12-year-old.
Go hide on the roof like you always do.
Copy !req
252. I haven't been up here in five years.
Copy !req
253. I don't know
what's wrong with him.
Copy !req
254. It's not Alzheimer's.
It's not encephalitis.
Copy !req
255. It's not environmental.
It's not immunological.
Copy !req
256. Every test is negative
every time.
Copy !req
257. He's perfectly healthy,
Copy !req
258. but his brain is dying.
Copy !req
259. It never occurred to me...
Copy !req
260. that you couldn't figure out
what's wrong.
Copy !req
261. I haven't given up.
Copy !req
262. So what do we do?
Copy !req
263. We wait.
Copy !req
264. For what?
Copy !req
265. Something to change.
Copy !req
266. It's one of the great tragedies of life.
Something always—
Copy !req
267. Something always changes.
Copy !req
268. Nurse?
Copy !req
269. Nurse!
Copy !req
270. What happened?
What's wrong?
Copy !req
271. My toes— They were numb,
tingling, then nothing.
Copy !req
272. No pain. Nothing.
Copy !req
273. It's okay. They're going
to take care of you.
Copy !req
274. I'm scared, Stacy.
Hold my hand.
Copy !req
275. What?
Copy !req
276. What's happening?
Copy !req
277. Time marches on.
He's paralyzed.
Copy !req
278. His symptoms mimic
a peripheral nervous system
under attack.
Copy !req
279. But he's experiencing
significant paresthesias,
and he can't move his hands or toes.
Copy !req
280. It's peripheral.
Copy !req
281. Guillain-Barrй syndrome
attacks there, not the brain.
Copy !req
282. No. No. I already did
an indirect Coombs' test.
Copy !req
283. No agglutination, no antibodies.
Copy !req
284. Initiative. Like that.
Copy !req
285. Start him on I.V. immuno—
Copy !req
286. No antibodies means
he doesn't have Guillain-Barrй, period.
Copy !req
287. Period?
More like dot, dot, dot.
Copy !req
288. What if he has the virus
but isn't producing
those antibodies?
Copy !req
289. Come on. The chances of that—
Didn't ask about the Vegas line.
I said "what if".
Copy !req
290. It would mean he's sick,
and his body's not doing
anything about it.
Copy !req
291. So we either fight it for him
or it's fatal.
Copy !req
292. Fatal sounds very bad to me.
Copy !req
293. Well, without the antibodies,
we can't even test for it.
Don't know if we're right.
Copy !req
294. Treatment isn't all that dangerous.
Plasmapheresis and I.V.I.G.
Copy !req
295. If it works, we're right.
If he dies... it was something else.
Copy !req
296. So the paralysis
might not be permanent.
Copy !req
297. That's our hope,
but the brain's tricky.
You never know.
Copy !req
298. What was that?
What?
Copy !req
299. - With the head. The look.
- He just wants to talk to me.
Copy !req
300. - Well, if it was medical,
he should be talking to me.
- I'll be just outside the door.
Copy !req
301. Leave! Go talk to him.
Copy !req
302. - You're going to leave me anyway.
- No. That's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
303. You left him, and he had a limp.
If I can't walk or hold you?
Copy !req
304. Honey, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going to talk to him.
Copy !req
305. - If I can't feed myself?
- Mark, what you're feeling—
It's not real. It's the virus.
Copy !req
306. - Mark? What is it?
- Mark?
Copy !req
307. His throat's closing up.
He can't breathe. Code blue! Hurry!
Copy !req
308. He's having a reaction to the I.V.I.G.
I need epi, stat.
Copy !req
309. - I can't get the scope in his throat.
- Stop that.
Copy !req
310. - He's having an allergic reaction. He's crashing.
- No, he's not. Look at his vitals.
Copy !req
311. O2 sats are within range.
Copy !req
312. I'm betting the only abnormal sign
is sweaty palms.
Copy !req
313. Push two milligrams Ativan.
Copy !req
314. No allergic reaction.
Just a panic attack.
Copy !req
315. Something obviously freaked him out.
Copy !req
316. Can we talk now?
Copy !req
317. You couldn't just come
into the room?
Copy !req
318. He's had five visitors drive down.
I didn't recognize any of them.
Copy !req
319. Six more have sent him flowers,
candy and a teddy bear,
Copy !req
320. which I'm sure he finds
very comforting.
Copy !req
321. But I didn't recognize any
of the names on the cards.
Copy !req
322. Shockingly, Mark has friends,
and I have some new ones.
Copy !req
323. No, it's not shocking
that you have new friends,
Copy !req
324. but it is shocking that you apparently
dumped all your old ones.
Copy !req
325. - I haven't.
- No, I didn't think so.
Copy !req
326. I just think you didn't tell any of them
that you were down here.
Copy !req
327. Now, why would that be?
Copy !req
328. What are you up to?
It's gonna take a little while.
Copy !req
329. Why would you not tell
your oldest friends...
Copy !req
330. that you were taking Mark
to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching
Hospital to try to save his life?
Copy !req
331. I've been busy. I haven't kept track
of who knows what.
Copy !req
332. See, my old friends
are telling me to be careful.
They seem to think—
Copy !req
333. He.
And he sent me the bear.
Copy !req
334. Figures.
Copy !req
335. He seems to think
that I'm not over you...
Copy !req
336. and that it might be dangerous for me
to spend time with you.
Copy !req
337. I'm thinking your friends
might have similar concerns,
Copy !req
338. and so you didn't tell them
you'd be here with me.
Copy !req
339. What's your point?
That I'm still in love with you?
Copy !req
340. I should abandon my dying husband,
and we should head for Rio.
Copy !req
341. No.
Copy !req
342. Greg, I appreciate
what you're doing for us,
but I think maybe Wilson's right.
Copy !req
343. Maybe you should
just stay away from me.
Copy !req
344. What's up?
Copy !req
345. Love the bear.
It's adorable.
Copy !req
346. My wife's gonna kill me.
We're having company.
She cooked.
Copy !req
347. I got Mark's latest blood work.
Copy !req
348. He's not responding
to treatment.
Copy !req
349. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
350. I was happy.
Copy !req
351. He's my patient.
Copy !req
352. I'm sure he's a good guy.
He's probably a great guy.
Copy !req
353. He's apparently
a much better guy than I am.
Copy !req
354. And some part of me
wants him to die.
Copy !req
355. I'm just not sure if it's because...
I want to be with her,
Copy !req
356. or it's because
I want her to suffer.
Copy !req
357. Hey. Is it okay if I talk
to Stacy for a minute?
Copy !req
358. I'll be just outside, honey.
Copy !req
359. You two are good together.
Copy !req
360. You know nothing about Mark.
Copy !req
361. He took you to Paris.
Copy !req
362. That's good enough for me.
Copy !req
363. We never went to Paris.
Copy !req
364. Your honeymoon.
It's been your dream city.
Copy !req
365. You wanted to go since you were 16.
He actually took you.
No, I had to work.
Copy !req
366. We spent the night in New York.
Then we went back to Short Hills.
What is it?
Copy !req
367. When did Mark switch
from mountain biking to yoga?
Copy !req
368. About a month ago.
Copy !req
369. The same time
he started getting sick.
What does that mean?
Copy !req
370. We have two more symptoms.
Copy !req
371. The patient was asked
a series of questions to determine
the functionality of his brain.
Copy !req
372. - You grilled him about Stacy.
- Whatever.
Copy !req
373. Yeah, the point is, he told us everything
we need to know to diagnose him.
Copy !req
374. That is, if we use your fancy PET scan
as a lie detector.
Copy !req
375. See, it's a very creative process,
lying.
Copy !req
376. Now, telling the truth
is a much simpler process.
See here.
Copy !req
377. Question nine. This is where Mark
gives a long, rambling answer
about taking Stacy to Paris.
Copy !req
378. - What does the PET scan say?
- Minimal involvement.
Just the frontal and temporal lobes.
Copy !req
379. He said he went to Paris,
and the PET confirms it.
So, what?
Copy !req
380. They didn't go.
Copy !req
381. They didn't go to Paris,
and yet Mark's brain
apparently thinks...
Copy !req
382. that he really did spend 40 francs
on a tour of the bastille.
Copy !req
383. So we have an intermittent syndrome
that presents with abdominal pain,
Copy !req
384. polyneuropathy, paranoia...
Copy !req
385. and delusions.
Copy !req
386. Now, here's the thing
about Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
Copy !req
387. It'll jump you in a dark alley,
beat the crap out of you,
leave you bleeding.
Copy !req
388. But it wears gloves,
so no fingerprints.
Copy !req
389. Doesn't show up in blood tests,
urine tests, nothing...
Copy !req
390. unless you catch it red-handed
in the middle of an attack.
Copy !req
391. But there are other
symptoms of A.I.P.
Copy !req
392. - Such as?
- Light sensitivity.
Copy !req
393. Yeah. One of the true tragedies
of this condition...
Copy !req
394. is it makes you want to stick
your cool new mountain bike
in the garage...
Copy !req
395. and take up an indoor sport
like, say, yoga.
Copy !req
396. Start the treatment.
Hematin and glucose.
Copy !req
397. If you give him Hematin now
and you're wrong, he dies today.
Copy !req
398. There's only one way to confirm A.I.P.--
urine sample made during the attack.
Copy !req
399. And there's no way to predict
when he'll have another attack.
Copy !req
400. Sure there is.
Copy !req
401. Acute Intermittent Porphyria
has very specific triggers.
Copy !req
402. Barbiturates, alcohol,
high levels of protein
will set off an attack.
Copy !req
403. Which trigger
do you think set off Mark's?
Not the faintest idea.
Copy !req
404. That's why I'm gonna give him
the combo plate. All of it.
Copy !req
405. So if he has this,
and you trigger an attack,
the attack makes him worse, right?
Copy !req
406. Yeah. But then we'll know what it is
and we can treat it.
Copy !req
407. But if I don't have this thing
and you give me that shot,
what happens?
Copy !req
408. No idea. If we don't know
what's messing up your brain,
we don't know how you'll react.
Copy !req
409. Okay, I— I need a minute
with my husband.
Copy !req
410. He doesn't want the trigger.
Copy !req
411. He wants to wait,
see if we can come up
with another explanation.
Copy !req
412. If it is A.I.P.,
how much time does he have?
Copy !req
413. No idea.
Next attack could be fatal.
Copy !req
414. Could be six months from now.
Could be five minutes from now.
Copy !req
415. I want you to test him.
Fine.
Copy !req
416. I'll send for
an H.M.B.-synthase mutation.
Copy !req
417. Genetic test.
Lab will get back to us in a month.
Copy !req
418. Give him the cocktail,
set off an attack.
Copy !req
419. No.
Why not?
Copy !req
420. Because he doesn't want me to.
Copy !req
421. I'm not gonna sue you.
I'm not gonna report you.
Copy !req
422. He might.
He's paralyzed.
Copy !req
423. Either you cure him,
or he won't be writing any letters.
Copy !req
424. I'm not gonna do it.
Why not?
Copy !req
425. You keep asking me that question.
My answer doesn't change.
Copy !req
426. I gave him the parameters.
It's his call.
Copy !req
427. You want him to die.
I diagnosed him.
I did my job.
Copy !req
428. You want somebody to tie him down
and force him into treatment,
you're way better at that than I am.
Copy !req
429. Is that what this is? Payback for your leg?
How many times have we been over this?
I saved your life.
Copy !req
430. Yeah, maybe.
You're gonna kill my husband
to teach me a lesson?
Copy !req
431. No. He's gonna die
'cause he's too stubborn
to make the right choice.
Copy !req
432. Now we're in your territory.
Copy !req
433. I'm respecting your husband's decision.
I don't see why you've got
a problem with that.
Copy !req
434. Because it's crap.
Copy !req
435. Because you browbeat patients,
intimidate them, lie to them.
Copy !req
436. If you think you're right,
you don't give a damn what they think.
Copy !req
437. I did what you do all the time.
The only difference is, I did it to you.
Copy !req
438. He'll never forgive you.
Copy !req
439. Yeah. He will.
Copy !req
440. Still no change.
He's not getting worse?
Copy !req
441. - No. No change at all.
- And that's consistent with A.I.P., right?
Copy !req
442. Until he has another attack,
his condition's stable.
Yeah.
Copy !req
443. - Mark, you've got to.
- I don't want to take that test,
not until they're sure.
Copy !req
444. - You don't know Greg.
- Not like you do.
Copy !req
445. I only met him
when he drugged me.
Copy !req
446. Boy, are my ears burning.
Copy !req
447. - What's that?
- Cocktail hour.
Copy !req
448. Just 'cause you can't hoist a few
doesn't mean you should be left out.
Copy !req
449. - Get away from me.
- Mark, if this is what he thinks
is wrong with you—
Copy !req
450. You trust his judgment
more than mine?
His medical judgment.
Copy !req
451. And you'd bet my life on that?
I would.
Copy !req
452. I don't.
Copy !req
453. Smart.
Copy !req
454. It's too bad you're paralyzed.
Copy !req
455. Bing!
Paging Dr. Foreman.
Copy !req
456. Leave the room.
It's not your problem.
You need the consent from him.
Copy !req
457. But, Doc,
he ain't right in the head.
Then you need a court order.
Copy !req
458. Okay. Then get one.
We'll wait here. I won't do nothin'.
Copy !req
459. Oh! Love the Musketeer thing.
Copy !req
460. - I got goose bumps.
- Give me the syringe.
Copy !req
461. Please. If you're right,
this may be his only shot.
Copy !req
462. So what's your plan?
You take the big dark one,
I've got the little girl,
Copy !req
463. and the Aussie
will run like a scared wombat
if things turn rough.
Copy !req
464. I can't do it.
Copy !req
465. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
466. See what I did there?
Copy !req
467. - When does it happen?
- If he had A.I.P.,
should've already happened.
Copy !req
468. - Everyone's different.
- This is not good.
Copy !req
469. He could have an embolism,
tachycardia, stroke.
Copy !req
470. What's happening?
Two milligrams of Ativan.
Copy !req
471. Is that an attack?
Copy !req
472. - Here.
- No. You'll pollute the sample.
Copy !req
473. - Chase, get urine from the catheter.
- It's not an attack! He's stroking.
Copy !req
474. He needs Ativan!
Copy !req
475. This is not a stroke.
The delta-wave burst
is just a vasospasm.
Copy !req
476. - Catheter's out.
There's no way to collect the sample.
- Heart rate's in the 40s. Bradycardia.
Copy !req
477. - We're losing him.
- Hold him down.
- Give him something!
Copy !req
478. No painkillers.
You were wrong.
Copy !req
479. Straight from the bladder.
That's as fresh as it gets.
Copy !req
480. Would you give him the Ativan already?
Copy !req
481. He doesn't need
to be awake for this.
Copy !req
482. It's still yellow.
Copy !req
483. Move.
Copy !req
484. - What?
- You think another light's
gonna make the difference?
Copy !req
485. Organic chem—
more light, more oxidation.
Copy !req
486. Does that ring any bells?
Copy !req
487. Start the patient
on 150 milligrams glucose,
75 milligrams Hematin.
Copy !req
488. Hey.
Hey.
Copy !req
489. You wanna thumb wrestle?
Copy !req
490. Come on.
Oh!
Copy !req
491. He's still a maniac.
I know.
Copy !req
492. Dr. House?
Copy !req
493. How's he doing?
Copy !req
494. Never better.
Copy !req
495. I thought...
Copy !req
496. you were too screwed up
to love anyone.
Copy !req
497. I was wrong.
Copy !req
498. You just couldn't love me.
Copy !req
499. That's good.
Copy !req
500. I'm happy for you.
Copy !req
501. You fixed him.
Copy !req
502. De nada.
Copy !req
503. Thank you.
Copy !req
504. You were right.
Copy !req
505. He's gonna be fine.
Copy !req
506. No. About me.
Copy !req
507. I'm not over you.
Copy !req
508. You were— You were the one.
Copy !req
509. You always will be.
Copy !req
510. But I can't be with you.
Copy !req
511. So I'm the guy,
Copy !req
512. but you want the other guy,
Copy !req
513. who, by definition,
can never be the guy.
Copy !req
514. What's so great about you
is you always think you're right.
Copy !req
515. And what's so frustrating
about you is you are right
so much of the time.
Copy !req
516. You are brilliant,
Copy !req
517. funny, surprising, sexy.
Copy !req
518. But with you, I was lonely.
And with Mark, there's room for me.
Copy !req
519. Okay.
Copy !req
520. I want to run something by you.
Copy !req
521. I will not have sex with you!
Not again.
Copy !req
522. It was miserable
that first time.
Copy !req
523. All that desperate
administrative need.
Copy !req
524. Stacy's husband is going to need
close monitoring at the hospital,
Copy !req
525. and since we can definitely
use her back here,
Copy !req
526. I've offered her a job—
general counsel.
Copy !req
527. Did she say yes?
Copy !req
528. She said only if
it was okay with you.
Copy !req
529. Yes or no?
Copy !req
530. Fine. Good.
Copy !req
