(Woman) you see them anywhere?
why don't we go back to their house,
wait for them there.
Yeah, 'cause they'll probably answer the door
the sixteenth time I knock.
There they are.
hi.
I'm sorry I followed you here.
I just really wish you could give me
a few minutes of your time.
[speaking native language]
I know you would never agree
to make it an open adopon,
but I just figured maybe you never had a choice. [man translating]
I mean, it's china, right?
[translating]
[speing native language]
w-what did he say?
He wants you to leave them alone.
Please...
[speaking native language]
I just want ten minutes.
Learn what you're li, tell you about my life.
[spits]
[speaking native language]
he said they have no daughter.
I am sorry you wasted a trip.
I know that's them.
How does that work?
How do I pray?
You make a wish and lift the buddha.
I wish they could understand how badly I need this.
Now make the wish again.
If you cannot lift the buddha this time,
your wish will bgranted.
[loudly] oh!
are you okay? unh!
[pained grunts and groans]
[speaking native language]
[massive attack's teardrop]
I picked cameron's pocket down in e.r.
I came up a doozy.
Your mother called-- twe.
She's still healthy.
This 25-year-old woman, on the other hand...
Her messages sounded kind of urgent.
Well, that's the way women sound
when their spouse of 50 years dies.
[cane whacks wall]
your dad died? Are you--
Yep. Fine!
(House) our patient,
who's been known to take a few drinks
on non-occasions,
vomits blood and collapses on a trip to china.
Chinese surgeons cut out a foot of bowel,
but the pain is worse now than it was before.
House, call your mom.
What are you, my mom?
We can continue this differential
in five minutes.
Are those bags under your eyes?
You were up all night.
You told her, didn't you
I don't know what your daddy issues are,
but don't deflect them on me.
Told his wife he's been getting some strange.
She kicked his adulterous tuchus to the curb.
Seriously, you told her? Yes, I told her.
But no, she did not kick me to the curb.
We stayed up late talking.
We're going to continue taing.
Much like house should be doing
with his mother right now.
(Foreman) anybody read chinese?
otherwise, we have no idea what these doctors did to her.
Kutner, you're sort of asian, right?
Get it translated.
What about meckel's diverticulum?
If the surgeons didn't remove the diverticulum,
it can cause pain, bleeding.
Too high up for a colonoscopy.
Ct could Miss it.
Ultrasound's fastest.
And since I'm fastest with theltrasound...
House, let me do the ultrasound.
You need to deal with your dad and stop--
I'm not deflecting because i'm avoiding something deep.
I'm deflecting because i'm avoiding something shallow.
Seriously, I'm fine.
I didn't even likehe man.
(House) no meckel's.
Were you there for the rice or the reeducation camps?
I was there to track down my biological parents.
Like a salmon returning to the stream where it was born.
Did you become whole again, or did you get eaten by bears?
Eyenied my existence.
[coughing]
four parts,
and not one of them taught you to cover your mouth.
Oh, my god!
Itooks like they cut you in half.
Doctor, we're her parents.
I'm just a technician.
Her doctors will be by later. You can schmooze then.
Can you let them kno that we, uh,
we went by her apartment
and collected all her mecation.
I'm a technician and a doctor.
You went through my apartment?
We found alcohol.
We thought you'd quit.
Did her drinking cause this? no.
Can you tell her it did?
Lirice root.
Uh, no, thanks i'm good.
I threw it to you for a reason.
That's what the chinese doctors gave her.
It contains glycyrrhizin.
They were treating her for sars?
Not very effectively.
But sars explains e cough, causes hypoperfusion,
which explai
it's perfect.
Lung invvement isn't very severe.
Okay, well, so calit "ars."
Start her on ribavirin and interferon.
Soy about your father.
I'm not.
Are we done emoting now?
If there's anything I can do, just--
You know, you're right.
I don't think I can sleep alone tonight.
And you can tell me that that is liqu vicodin.
Wee giving i.g. Shots to everyone
who came in contact with your patient.
Shockingly, none of the nurses volunteered
to ainister yours.
It goes better in a large muscle.
Drop your pants.
You know, I usually pay tens of dollars
to hear that.
[uips fly]
the funel's tomorrow.
My mom called you?
There is 3:40 flight out of newark.
If you leave now, you can be in lexington tonight.
Your mother wants you to deliver a eulogy.
"eulogy." From the greek for "good word."
Now, if she asked me to deliver a bastardogy,
i'd be happy to--
Then be a grown-up.
Call your mother back and tell her that
you're sick with grief,
but you're too busy to be ther
she knows when I'm lying.
Then start writing
(nicole) they yanked my brother and sister o of college.
Can you please tell them i'm not dying?
You have sars. I'm wearing a mask.
It's a big deal. Cut 'em some slack.
But I am gon be okay, right?
That's what all this stuff is for.
We're gonna need the names and numbs
of everyone you came in contact with
here and in china.
Flight numbers, dates...
That doctor that I coughed all over...
Is he gonna be all right?
So far he's fine.
Uh-unh! It's back.
This is where the pain all started.
[Pained groans] ow!
she's tachycardic. Get a crash cart in here!
[nicole groaning in pain]
what's going on?
I need to know what's going on. That's my daughter.
Unh! Aah!
[crying out]
her liver's failing. It's not sars.
I am not doing this because I care.
(house) cuddy drugged me.
She...
My mom didn't call cuddy.
She called you.
I knew youcouldn't stay away
I knew you loved me too much.
I'm doing this for your mom.
I'm not doing this at all.
If there were something to be done,
I would have done it in the year he spent dying.
You took my vicodin?!
I'm in pain.
One?!
So the vicodin is my leash.
One'll take the edge off,
but it won't give me enough relief
for an escape back to plainsboro.
[Hanson's mmmbop playing as ring tone]
where's my phone?
* *
That's the team. It's their ring tone.
* *
Forget it.
The patient's ood is on your has.
* *
[Ring tone stops] [foreman over cell phone] house? Youhere?
i'being held against my will.
Call the police!
nicole had a clot in theepatic vein.
Chase sucked it out, saved her liver.
No signs of a tumor or venous malformations.
Nothing that could cause-- She's an addict.
Drugs and alcohol wouldn't-- She's a smoker.
Combine smoking with any one of a dozen genetic disorders,
and she's a clotting machine.
Multiple blood clotsould tie together bowel ischemia,
lungs, and the liver.
(Foreman) we need to pinpoint which defect s has
so we can start her on the right anticoagulant.
Draw her blood--let's find out which genetic ft
her genetic parents gave her.
Thanks for calling.
My ring tone for you is dancing queen, by abba.
Nicole?
I need to pee. Over at the next stop.
I'll just pee on the floor.
You bought used oomats?
th is brilliant.
There's a rest stop in five miles.
Cane.
The restroom's right there.
You can make it on your own.
I suppose I could talk about the summer
he decided he wasn't speaking to me.
Two months, not one word.
Anything he wanted to say, he typed up
and slipped under my bedroom door.
You don't want to say anything, don't say anything, but go.
Tell your mom you're sad for her.
Just by being there, i'd be lying.
She wants to think, for a moment,
that she had a happy family.
So give her a gift-- lie!
Give me my cane... I'll go to the damn funeral.
I said I'd go to the funeral.
I didn't say when.
We have these two categories: inside and outside.
Patients stay inside.
Then, when they're better, we let them go outside.
Thanks.
But they don't let you smoke inside.
So why don't you go back there
and give me five minutes outside?
Make a fist.
It's such a beautiful day,
we thought we'd do all our doctorg outside.
People stare at me any time i'm out with my family.
It's like a puzzle.
"which one of these things doesn't belong?"
belonging's overrated.
I was adopted by a white family when I was nine.
I like being different.
The view's better from the outside looking in.
Must be easier to be different when you're a success.
Is that a problem?
This is why we prefer inside.
You actually keep a flashlight that doesn't need batteries
in the trunk?
Next to the jacket,
emergey water, nail clippers,
tobrush, space blanket--
When things go wrong, I like to be rea.
Will you...please
hold the flashlight for a minute?
[deep sigh]
you know,
those aren't just my car keys.
My house keys are on there too.
Amber gave me that key chain.
No, she didn't.
Not unless your pet name for her was "volvo."
[whirring]
a man who would lie about a gift from a dead girlfriend...
Is probably responding to a childish,
pointless act of petulance.
The struggle to resist one's capts
is never pointless.
[Heavy accent] viva la resistance!
well, I hate to break it to you, che,
but simple delay won't work.
Your mother will hold the funeral till we get there.
My father was a punctual man,
beholden to time.
Two minutes late for dinner, you didn't eat.
My mother would never disresct him
by starting the funeral late.
Yeah, ye, u clearly have no issues to work through.
Come on, forget the keys.
Call a lksmith.
We'll go inside and play "guess that smell"
with the truckers while we're waiting.
Join me on the dark side.
The dark side's done, house.
I'm delivering you to your mother,
and that's it.
I have moved on.
What do you think house would send,
the "gentle comfort" arrangement or the "warm thoughts" bouquet?
I mean, he wasn't an ass.
Send one of those giant cookies shaped like a coffin.
His mom would believe it was from him.
I didn't tell yo so you could send anything.
Just wanted you to know the extent
to which the man is disconnected
from the human race.
Took a six-pack of ffp to stop the oozing.
She's bleeding and clotting?
Plus schistocytes on her smear means it's dic,
which means she's got cancer.
She's young. It could be leukemia.
Normal wbc makes tha less likely.
The belly pain points toward a g.i. Tumor.
House already did an ultrasound.
He wasn't looking for a tumor. Go run a ct.
(Chase) I don't buy it.
Ct can find small testinal cancers
that an ultrasound-- I don't buhouse.
When my father died, I wound up killing a patient.
And I hated the man.
Whatever house says or doesn't say,
i'm sure the guy's a mess.
Soe was a bastard.
He was still your father.
You're biologically programmed to have feelings for him.
No, I'm not.
Feelings aren'rational.
I know you have trouble with anything
that can't be antified and counted.
He's not my biological father.
I figured it out when I was 12.
Of course.
You were a brilliant, socially isolated 12-year-old,
and you create a parallel universe
in which your life doesn't suck.
I lookt the facts.
First of all, he waseployed on training exercises
off okinawa
ring the time I had to be conceived.
Ansince you're 150 years old,
air travel was impossible.
His second toe is longer than his big toe.
Mine isn't. This is sad.
You don't believe your mother screwed around--
I have a distinctive red birthmark on my scp
that matches a certain friend of the family.
If you believed this story,
you wouldn't be telling me about his birthmarks.
You'd be telling me out the genetic testing
you had done.
And since you haven't mentioned it,
obviously, you didn't do it.
Because you don't want to-- House, what are you doing?
Get your--get off the--
There's a cop!
[police siren wailing]
uh-oh.
Nicole, lie still.
This'll only take a few seconds.
(Taub) one millimeter cut through upper abdomen.
She was adopted when the parents thought
ey couldn't have kids.
She took the message as "thanks for playing,
but we have our real children now."
And the real children probably think they're accidents
while she was hand-picked.
Everody's got problems with their parts.
She's an addict. Something went wrong.
And it has to be the parents?
Magnifying pancreas.
I'm not saying the parents screwed up.
You're saying you like her.
So you don't want her faults to be hefault.
But they're someone's fault,
and the only other people you know are--
[machine beeping]
I think we may need to call house again.
(House) you lost track ofour speed?
I think that was hitler's excuse.
Lost track of e jews.
No one held him responsible.
I'm not playing house.
You were protecting me.
Anybody in their right mind
would have ratted me out.
I'm just trying to speed things along.
You are going this funeral.
[Hanson's mmmbop playing as ring tone]
* *
make it fast.
I don't want to miss the anal cavity search.
Looks like a mass in the pancreas.
[Hou over phone] not to me. This is radio.
Ani want a full play-by-play.
It's fluid-filled.
Would you get out of the car, please, sir?
Offir, if you want to give me a ticket,
I totally understand.
Just get out of the car, sir.
Cyst? (foreman) large cyst.
Something going on there?
Wilson's getting arrested.
(House) how large?
(house) suv sized, or mid-rangeedan?
Seriously? What'd you do?
I'm obviously joking.
If wilson was getting handcuffed on the hood of his car,
would I be carrying on a differential?
Diameter is at lea eight centimeters.
[whistles] ist in the tail or in the head?
(Foreman) the head.
You too, sir. Out of the car.
We've got a construction site.
A steamroller is plowing--
Out now.
No can
(officer) james evan wilson,
there's a warrant r your arrest in louisiana.
What are the traits of a steamroller?
Powerful. Maybe pancreatic cancer.
Great idea, except the only symptom
it mches up with is being steamrollerish.
You don't think house is onto something?
I think he thought he had an idea.
I also think his metaphors
are tough enough to decipher
after he's said them.
We need to be focusing on the medicine.
No answer.
There's not gonna be an answer.
They've been arrested.
He was joking.
He reacted to the size and location.
That's what we should be focusing on.
Not playing mad libs
while our patient's exploding noun destroys
her life-sustaining noun.
I'll try to get wilson on the line.
What if it's not how a steamroller works,
but what it does?
clears things.
This is a waste of time.
[Hanson's mmmbop playing as ring tone]
* *
I need that phone call.
I'm a doctor,
and when someone tries to call you three times,
it's code for "pick up the damn phone
before someone dies."
I'm sure there's other smart doctors.
You'd be surprised.
You told me you'd taken care of this.
I did.
First words you ever said to me.
I took care of it.
You must've screwed up someh.
sir?
Not to hurry you,
but we need to be at a funeral--
Nobody is going anywhere or taking any phone calls
till I hear back from louisiana.
It's a really old warrant.
Isn't there a statute of limitations
on this kind of thing?
It's suspended when you flee the state.
I didn't flee the state.
I left the state.
Because I don't live in the state.
And the charges were
just so minor...
"vandalism,
destruction of property, assault."
there is a simple explanation.
There was a medical convention in new orleans...
You don't need to explain to me.
I was fresh out of med school.
I dn't knoanybody at the convention.
You heard the man, wilson.
You don't have to explain.
I am not gonna sit here wasting time
just so you can avoid your father's funeral!
He's my father.
I have the right to avoid his funeral.
Not if your mother's alive, you don't.
Okay...
Explain.
(Chase) did house react to the eight centimeters?
he whistled.
It's huge. Anyone would think so.
House doesn't whistle because he's impressed.
It means he wasn't expecting it.
It means he changed his mind at that point.
(Chase) a single super-sized cyst
ruled out a diffuse process like scleroderma or lupus.
Rule out diffuse process, you're stuck with single process
affecting just the pancreas.
Gallstones or pancreatic divisum.
Whever he asked next would have narrowed that down.
He asked about location.
Heads it's gallstones, tails it's divisum.
It's at the head. She's got gallstones.
The steamroller means potholes--
Relax. We got it.
You figured out she's got gallstones?
I was at the hotel bar trying to unwind,
have a drink.
There was this guy who kept playing
billy joel's leave a tender moment alone
on the jukebox.
Leave a tender moment is a good song.
It's a great song. He was out of line.
Not as good as scenes from an italian restaurant
or...
So I--I asked the man to stop, polity.
Yeah, you yelled politely.
I was polite the first couple of times,
but courtesy made no impression on this ass.
So I threw a bottle into the mirror,
which successfully conveyed my message.
And smashed a ten-foot antique mirror.
And set an emple to two other patrons
who threw shot glasses.
I had nothing to do with that fight.
The assault charge was totally bogus.
And I paid for the mirror.
I think I have the picture.
I assume you're the guy who was playing the song.
No, I was the guy who bailed him out.
That's how we met. I was in jail.
This guy was a total stranger to you,
and you bailed him out?
It was a boring convention.
Had to have somebody to drink with.
(Wilson) and there's the foundation of our entire friendship.
If you hadn't been bored one weekend,
it wouldn't even exi.
Hey, there were 3,000 people at that convention.
You were the one I thought wasn't boring.
That says something.
It also says something that you lied to me
about getting the charges dropped! I got a lawyer.
He cut a deal.
You didn't call the guy?
You ve to show up at the arraignment.
Everybody knows that.
Everybody with your misdemeanor experience.
You can go.
What?!
He--he's a fugitive from justice.
That whole story was lies. Stabbed a man.
Louisiana doesn't want to pay
to get you back. Forget louisiana.
He was driving recklessly through your comatose village.
Do theput lead in the jelly doughnuts here?
Stop acting like such an ingrate
and go pay your respects to your father.
The ct confirmed gallstones.
Normally not dangerous. Almost everyone has them.
But sometimes...
They kill you?
yup. Unless I take 'em out.
We do it laproscopically.
Um...
How long has her urine been brown?
Kidney's were fine this afternoon.
They're not now.
It's not the gallstones.
(house) well, of course it's not gallstones.
Who thought it was gallstones?
You said "steamroller."
I also said "construction site."
Gallstones could cause a pancreatic cyst.
Just turn around.
The thing is twhours over already,
and that's the third time we passed that colonial
with the cross bni out front.
I'm not lost.
I'm not talking about what caused the cyst.
I'm talking about what the cyst caused.
Everything.
Cysts are symptoms, not diagnoses.
Unless it's a multiple ct,
with conctions to other organs--
Like a steamroller.
That's a long road down to the kidneys.
How do we prove it? Won't be visible in a scan.
Chase isn't gonna go groping around
when she's got kidney failure. Bubbs.
Is that your new stripper name?
Yes. And also, we inject bubbles into the cys
and foll where ty drift.
If they end up in the other organs,
we know you're right, cut it out, she's fine.
Bubbles is right.
Go echo.
I'm not lost.
Nicole, you gotta stay still.
I'm--i'm nervous.
You'reot nervous.
It's the dts, isn't it?
I haven't had a drink since I got here.
Good heavens, we haven't missed it after all.
It's like the end of christmas carol.
[sighs]
i'm so glad you're here.
Oh, it's a load off of my mind
just to see you.
Thank you, james.
Mom, how could you delay the funeral?
Honey, your dad is dead. He's not going to care.
Do you know what you're going to say?
I don't know.
Just let the minister
orne of his buddies from the corps...
You're talking.
I don't care that you didn't like him.
He was your father, and he loved you.
The war is over, greg.
Please do this for me.
Stop looking so worried.
I know he's gonna make me proud.
I'm sure you know him better than I do.
Her liver's been compromised.
And the dts will cause her muscles
to continue to twitch, even underedation.
We need to paralyze her to do this procedure.
I wanted to stop.
A phenarbital coma willot only low us
to inject the cyst, 'll treat the dts.
When she wakes up, e won't be in withdrawal.
We've seen her through withdrawal before.
We've seen her through everything.
We've been supportive, we've been combative.
We've picked her up from bars in the middle of the night.
We've let her spend the night in jail.
I used to say it'd be okay.
That I'd get it together.
I don't say that anymore.
Let's make you healthy.
Then we'll worry about making you sober.
The lord is my shepherd,
i shall not want...
I am not talking.
We were strangers
who shared some geography 30 years ago.
Right, he had no influence on you at all.
The father who was compulsive about punctuality.
His issue.
Which I deliberately made not my issue.
Thereby making it your issue.
Compulsively showing up four hours late,
ignoring discipline, ignoring rules.
Oh, god, he's here.
Who's here?
The one you're pretending is yr father?
Nice pick. He looks like sean connery.
So back when you were devising this fantasy,
did you tell your father:
"dad, I fuse to recognize your existence because
I have chosen james bond as my dad"?
(Minister) let us pray.
I used different words.
What?!
Hearing your own son hates you so much
he's replaced you in his mind?
That's gotta suck. How did he take it?
I already told you.
(Minister) amen.
He didn't speak to me for a summer.
It means more to me than-- An I can say
to have all of you here today.
And w,h, our son gregory
would ke to say a few words.
Greg?
[sighs]
there's a lot of people here today.
Inuding some from the corps.
And I notice tha every one of them is
either my father rank or higher.
And that doesn't surprise me.
Because if the test of a man
is how he treats those he has power over,
it was a test my father failed.
This man you're eage to pay homage to,
he was incapable of admitting any int of view but his own.
He punished failure,
and he did not accept anything lesthan--
He loved doing what he did.
He saw his work as some kind of...
Sacred calling.
More important than any personal relationship.
Maybe if he'd been a better father,
i'd be a better son.
But I am what I am because of him...
For better or foworse.
And I just--just wish-- [voice breaks]
[whispers] put it back.
Well, he's not gonna Miss it.
I'm done enablg.
You can't even let them put him in the ground
without making it serve your agenda?
(House) you real want to do this in front oeverybody?
you wanna punish me or them?
How can I still feel surprise?
You would take, even this,
a moment of real human grief,
and turn it into a farce.
Oh, cut the crap.
You enjoy what I do.
I never had to force you.
You like coming along for the ride.
Yes, that's why i'm cheering you on no
this is about you needing to be prepared for the worst.
So you become an oncologist.
No surprises there. Worst happens all the time.
But amber, she was young and healthy.
Her death came out of nowhere.
Don't bring amber into this.
And you weren't ready. That makes you angry.
The world sucks, and y didn't have time to brace youelf.
What happened out there is your show!
You' scared to death of losing anyone that matters.
So you dump the person who matters the most to you!
I'm not scared to death. I'm moving forward!
Because no one can take away from you
what you no longer have.
[wilson gives derisive laugh]
your father's death is about you.
Amber's death is about you.
I can'imagine why someone wouldn't want to be your friend!
Admit it, you're ary and you're scared
of losing me.
I'm not angry, I'm not scared. Admit it.
I'm not afraid. Admit it.
I've lost people. It happens. Admit it. Admit it!
What are you, five? Stop repeating--
Admit it. Admit it. Admit it. Admit it.
Admit it.
Come on, admit it. Admit it!
unh!
Still not boring.
(wilson) did u know I was gonna do that?
Because I didn't know I was gonna do that.
I know you have trouble losing people.
In new orleans,
I saw you carrying this express package
around the conference.
And you wouldn't let it go, but you wouldn't open it.
So I peeked at the return address.
Diamond, fairbairn.
Divorce attorneys.
Your first wife had just served you with papers.
Did you know that when you bailed me out?
Were you... Doing something niceor me?
What did I say about being boring?
Wewe your mom an apology.
[ringing] hello?
It's house.
Ouse over speakerphone] how'd the bubble test go?
the problem wasn't the cyst.
It's advanced dilated cardiomyopathy.
We did a three-dimensial echo.
Showed a mass in the left atrium.
(Kutner) looks like an atrial moma,
but the ultrasound images are a little grainy,
so it's hard to tell.
hous
The images aren't grainy.
They sure look grainy.
I've seen picturesf you where you look tall.
It's iron overload.
Creates speckles on the image, makes it look grainy.
Also makes her pancreas fa, her blood clot,
and her intestine-- Atrial myxoma is more lily.
Mri for a better view.
And call me back and tell me you're embarrassed
because my eyesight is better 500 miles away.
I need a phone number.
[telephone ringing]
[speaking native language]
i'm a doctor in new jersey, treating one of your clients.
A young woman looking for her biological parents.
You know, you could just wait for the mri
to have your cursity satisfied.
What person who is nothing like me
are you saying that to?
Did the parents look tan?
The disease she has is genetic,
which means they shod have it too.
They don't look more tan than anyone else.
Discolored teeth?
They're farmers--the village doesn't even have a dentist.
Right. Thanks.
But if it matters,
i'm not convinced they were her parents.
Why not?
Because they said they have no daughter.
The man was adamant,
and the woman seemed confused and frightened.
Thank you.
Differential.
Say you're a middle-aged inese woman...
Fine. Say it.
I'm a middle-aged chinese woman.
Girl comes to you,
says that she's your long-lost daughter.
Why would yo be frightened?
i'm frightened because she's a threat?
Maybe she knows something?
She hasn't seen you since shwas an infant.
Maybe an inheritance issue.
They're peasants.
Her very presence is a threat.
She-- What year was she born?
'83.
She's not supposed be alive.
China introduced the one-child policy in 1979.
Say they didn't want a girl.
They tried to kill her.
Maybe the baby doesn't die.
Maybe the father panics or regrets it.
Takes the baby to an orphanage.
Maybe he doesn't tell his wife.
Who freaks out like she's seen a ghost
25 years later when the girl shows up.
Why does attempted murder om 25 years ago
suddenly become relevant to her health now?
Maybe they gave her something toxic.
It would have to be fat soluble.
This is fun, isn't it?
Let me see the mri.
We don't have one.
She started vomiting as soon as we started the scan.
Then let her vomit through the mri.
That'shanurses are for.
Her parents tried to kill her.
I don't know how,
but I know it caused her to get sick 25 years later
trying to lift a buddha.
Explain.
I already had this conversation with wilson--just go with it.
Poison?
Buddha wouldn't make it worse.
Maybe the weight stressed her back, which--
Makes sense if she's never lifted anything in her life.
She actually didn't get sick
till she tried lifting it that second time.
I'm guessing the weight changed.
Anybody have taub's pager number?
What's up?
Maybe give him a call.
If he tosses that switch on the mri, she's dead.
X-ray her brain.
(House) pins.
Push them rough the soft foanelle of an infant,
you skewer the bin, and the hair hides
the entry wounds.
It's the perfect crime.
She's had them in her all these years.
What changed at the temple?
Same thing that changed in the mri.
(house) shockingly, not all religious leaders are honest.
I'm guessing these particular monks
are bilking the faithful
by pushing a magnet up buddha's butt.
There's another one under the table
that'll repel or attract, depending on how youhift them.
When she picked up that magnet,
it med one of the pins deeper
into the sympathetic nervous center of her brain.
This sent a signal through the nerves
to the blood vessels in her small intestines,
whiccaused the symptoms in china
and in the giant magnet we call an m.
She'lucky.
We're all screwed up by o parents.
She's got documentation.
The pins will be removed surgically,
and she'll be fine.
We'll wake her from the coma after the operation.
Is there any way you could not tell her?
Please.
She's fragile.
She desperately wanted to know her biological parents.
For her to find out that they wanted her dead...
I don't know what that'll do to he
she may not be as fragile as you think.
We know our daughter.
See this pin here?
It's been pressing directly on her addiction cter.
It's not her fault.
And it's definitely not your fault.
She's not who you think she is.
[knocking]
I hear your paent's gonna be all right.
Is that why you're here?
A colleague checking up on a patient?
Something in' on?
I'm celebrating.
My mom hated him too.
Your dna test showed no match? That's incredible.
At the age of 12,
you actually figured out your father wasn't
your birth fathe
that's what you wanted, wasn't it?
Why should it depress you?
It doesn't depress me.
Doesn't make any difference at all.
That's what depresses me.
Well, I gues nobody gets to choose
who their parents are.
[inhales deeply]
i'm not even sure anymore if we get to choose
who our friends are.
I spoke with cuddy.
She hasn't filled my positioyet.
If you're coming back
just because you're attracted to the shine of my neediness...
I'd be okay with that.
I'm coming back because you're right.
That strge, annoying trip we just took
was the most fun I've had since amber died.
You hungry?
Wilson.
Yeah?
My dad's dead.
Yeah.
My sympathies.
