So there I am,
on my 25th birthday, driving

from Wheeling, West Virginia
to Bensonhurst

in a Dodge Dart with no radio

and a gun runner
named Barrelhead,

who insisted we sing
every Jimmy Buffet song

he could recall.

What can I say?
The man was heavily armed.

So 500 renditions of
Margaritaville later,

my first cover,
8,000 words on how Barrelhead

and his friends
were transporting handguns

for sale to New York city.

The day the magazine
hit the stands,

the D.A. hit me with a subpoena.

He wanted to know
Barrelhead's real name.

Greta had been managing editor
for three whole days.

So she invited me across
the street to the fancy bar,

where they use real glasses.

And after about the sixth
vodka and tonic,

she said,
"Fletch, I want you to know

the magazine is behind you."

Well, I was impressed.

I said, "Do you think you
can get the DA off my back?"

And she said, "No.

But when you get out of jail,
you'll still have a job."

[laughter]

I'm 45.
I've given up a lot.

I've given up the road,
that life.

Thanks, Elizabeth.
No regrets.

My lovely wife.

I've given up drinking.
I've given up drugs.

Greta taught me there's
two things you never give up.

One's rock and roll.
The other's a source.

Greta Sims.

[cheers and applause]
Great memories, Greta.

We'll miss you, Greta.

We'll miss you.

I only hope you can adjust

to the lack of stress in your--

Fletch!
Fletch!

Fletcher.

Fletch.

Fletcher.

Fletcher!

Honey, sweetie.
Are you okay?

Oh!

Are you okay?

I flung the investment.

[laughter]
What did you say?

I flung the investment.

Why consign?

Why consign?

I'll call 911.

It's proficient.

Why disqualify the rush?
I'm tabled.

I'm tabled.

[Massive Attack's Teardrop]

*

[whistling]

I need your advice.

What's the best
diagnostics department

within 60 miles of here?

We are.

"We" aren't here.

House is in Baltimore lying
to Medicaid about his billings.

So? I'm board certified.

You are not House.

Why'd you put me
in charge of the department

if you think I can't handle it?

Because it's temporary,
and because I was ordered to.

What are the symptoms?

Oh, come on.

You're gonna diagnose him
without meeting him?

Prove that you're
as brilliant as House?

I need to know
the symptoms

to know which hospital
to recommend.

EMT's report--
patient struck his head

and is suffering from aphasia.

Hmm, neurological problem.

I know a lot of good people
in that field

seeing as I happen
to be a neurologist.

You're pouting.

Not at all.

Taylor's pretty good.

House was ready to hire him
till he got my resume.

It's Fletcher Stone.

Wrote 12 books?

Exposed three administrations.

Before he exposes us--

I get it.

Famous patient
needs famous doctor.

I'll call Taylor.
Thank you.

Or maybe you should call him.

What if I say something stupid?

Oh, God.
House is easier.

Have you been taking any drugs?

I displaced my function.

Accolade.

He used to drink regularly,
but he's been

clean and sober
for nearly a year.

Mr. Stone, you think
you're speaking normally,

but your speech is impaired.

He knows what he wants to say,

but when he reaches for a word,
he finds something else.

I grapple average.

Tanzer glisten.

He doesn't know
that he's saying it wrong?

It all sounds right to him.

I want you to write your name
and draw a face.

It's called agraphia.

Loss of ability to write.

Most often it's temporary.

How hard did he
hit his head?

It was a pretty good crack.
It made a really ugly sound.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Of golf.

Don't give me a sentence.
Just say yes or a no.

You understand me?

Yes.

Elizabeth. Fletch.

Is he okay?

We don't know.
This is Fletch's editor.

Greta Sims.

I wanted to make sure
that the EMTs

told you the right story.

How many stories are there?

He didn't trip.
He just fell.

Out of the blue.

His foot jerked
a little bit first.

That's what made it look
like a trip.

(Stacy)
Don't say anything.

Don't attempt to defend
your billing practices.

Your billing practices
are indefensible.

We've been over this.

If I thought you were capable
of listening, I'd shut up.

That makes no sense at all.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Every case you have rates a five
on the complexity scale?

Dr. House has a rather
specialized practice.

Ah.
Okay.

Then let's go through these.

All of these?

If you have lunch reservations,
cancel them.

All right.
Patient...

If he didn't trip,
something made him fall.

Stoke?
Seizure?

30 people saw him trip.
One person says he didn't.

Who you gonna believe?

His symptoms can all be
explained by the head trauma.

Causes a contusion or a seizure.
That causes the aphasia.

We should get an EEG.

If it was a stroke,
it could be a clotting issue.

Even if he fell,
drug use is far more likely.

I'm ordering a tox screen.

Chase, we're not done
with the differential.

You're not my boss.

I'm House's boss.
House is your boss.

The math is pretty simple.

Are you signing my paychecks?
Are you hiring or firing?

This is not about that--

The only thing
you've been asked to do

is supervise House

in case he does
something insane.

Which might, you know,
save a life.

Somebody's gotta be
in charge.

Why?

You think we should all just do
whatever we wanna do?

Maybe have a race
to the diagnosis.

I think it should be
a discussion among peers.

I think we're
grown up enough

to reach a consensus.

Patient, 62 years old.

You prescribed Viagra.

I look in vain for the words
erectile dysfunction

in the notes
for Delores Smith.

She had a heart condition.

And you ran out
of nitroglycerin?

She also had low blood pressure.

So nitro
would be dangerous.

Little blue pills
improve blood flow.

They're vasodilators.

It's why you sometimes
get the headaches.

(Stacy)
I think Dr. House understands.

(House)
Of course I do.

The woman has a heart condition

she's on her own.

A man can't nail
his office assistant,

it's national crisis time.

Are you seriously
expecting us

to foot the bill
for off-label use of medication?

Fine.
I'll pay for it.

How much are the pills?
She took how many?

Put the money away.

Are you trying
to bribe me?

No.

I could.
There's an ATM in the lobby.

My client's an idiot.

But is he wrong
about the pills?

Off-label use
is not sanctioned.

You're retiring
in three weeks.

You've been doing this job
nearly 20 years.

Aren't you tired
of administering policy

you disagree with?

I never said I disagree.

What can they do to you?

And Dr. House is sorry
about his earlier outburst.

Absolutely.

You do background checks
on Medicaid personnel?

I do what's necessary
for my client.

Wow, new personal record.

Yeah, timing's good
for me too.

I got a reservation
at a little place

in the Inner Harbor.

You booked us
dinner reservations?

Best Maryland crab in...
Maryland.

Don't you have
a plane to catch?

Not for hours.

Your flight leaves at 7:00.

You did a background check
on me?

And mine doesn't leave
till 9:00pm.

It looks like
you'll be dining alone.

You checked on my flight

so you could be sure
to be on a different one.

I thought we were past
the avoidance stage.

I didn't think we'd
be finished this soon.

Where's your crucifix?

I left it at the jewelers
to be cleaned.

Right.

This will show us
if there's a problem

with your carotid artery
that might cause a blood clot.

If it went to his brain,
that could explain the aphasia

and the falling down.

And you're giving him an EEG?

Is that for the same thing?

Uh, it's just
a precaution.

I think the trauma
caused some swelling,

and we need to keep him stable

until the body
can repair the damage.

And you think
they're both wrong?

(Foreman)
We're just covering
all the bases.

Being safe.

[choking]

His O2 sats
are going down.

Fluid in his lungs.

Push 40 IV Lasix.

We need to intubate.

He's losing
his respiratory drive.

(Foreman)
And then there were two.

Aphasia and fluid in the lungs.

Seizure can't cause both.

Neither can
a stroke.

Unless he had
an abnormal heart rhythm.

(Chase)
And then there was one.

Urine test is positive
for amphetamines.

Amphetamines don't cause
pulmonary edema.

They do
if you smoke 'em.

In one of his books

he talked about giving up
drugs and alcohol,

how it changed his life.

Everybody lies.

When he started wanting to hear
every minute of my day,

it should have been a clue
he was the jealous type.

But you know, in that first
stage of a relationship,

where it's like your body's
full of these chemicals

that make you think everything
they do is charming--

[cell phone rings]

Ah.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hey, honey,
how are the kids?

They miss me?

This may take a minute.

(House)
So what's new with Mr. Aphasia?

Cuddy called you?

Everybody covers their ass.

Pulmonary edema.

Chase did a tox screen.

It came back positive
for amphetamines.

He did the dance of victory.

I'm betting
there's another shoe.

I thought the kids
didn't call you.

thump!

I know the way
you tell stories.

Foreman went to talk to Stone
about his drug test,

found him running a temperature.

So it's not the drugs.

They've just got such a bad rep.

thump!

Honey, you shouldn't
do that.

Okay, I gotta hang up.

They're probably trying
to reach me.

You don't have call waiting?

I'm hanging up on you now.

It's $5.00 a month.

thump!

Drugs don't cause fever.

Encephalitis or meningitis

are the obvious suspects.

Start him on antibiotics.

It could be
an autoimmune disease.

Lupus, Behcet's.

We could start him
on a high dose of steroids.

Except if he does have
encephalitis,
[phone ringing]

steroids could weaken
his immune system.

Foreman.

How high a fever?

Put me on speaker phone.
And why haven't you called me?

101.
How'd you know?

What?
You think you guys

can have a party as soon
as the parents are gone,

and I won't hear about it?

Start with broad spectrum
antibiotics

for possible
bacterial meningitis,

and an antiviral

in case we luck out,
and it's herpes encephalitis.

What if it's autoimmune?

Well, then we're screwed.

Which is why
we need more information.

Any genetic issue
with the family?

(Foreman)
The man can't talk.

His medical records
are sketchy.

And the wife's only known him
a couple of years.

(House)
MRI show anything?

CT scan was negative.

CT?

That's, like,
short for MRI, right?

Excellent.
That'll save us a lot of time.

We've got an MRI scheduled
in 20 minutes.

Earliest Foreman
could get the machine.

I teach you
to lie, cheat, and steal,

and as soon as my back is turned
you wait in line?

Get an MRI, and get
a better medical history.

The man can't talk.

Who cares?
He's probably gonna lie anyway.

My flight's a little late.
I'll be back in a few hours.

So you're in charge of us
because you're in charge of him?

Any family history
of neurological problems?

No.

You've been out of the country
in the last five years.

Yes.

Three years?

Yes.

Two years.

He stopped traveling
for work two years ago

after we got serious.

Any vacations?

His last one was
six months ago.

It was a golf resort
at Key Biscayne.

No way it was
a golf resort.

Knowing Fletch, I assume
he was working his way

through every bar
in the Keys.

Last hurrah
before settling down.

Alcohol?

No.

Amphetamines.

No.

You tested positive.

(Elizabeth)
He doesn't use drugs.

I told you.

When we got engaged,
we decided

we wanted a different
kind of life.

And he dropped
the macho journalism.

No more taking
crazy chances.

That includes his health.

(Greta)
He asked me not
to tell Elizabeth.

He's been lying to her
about his drug habit?

Well, yes and no.

BE--before Elizabeth--
he used drugs recreationally.

I wasn't crazy about it,

but that
thrill-seeking behavior

is what made him the kind
of journalist that he was.

And now, AE?

The man's twisted himself
into knots for her.

Completely cleaned up
his act.

But the drugs?

They're medicinal.
Sort of.

He was having trouble
sleeping.

His new suburban lifestyle.

Lack of excitement
was throwing him off.

So he started
with sleeping pills.

When they knocked him out,
he needed something

to perk him back up
during the day.

Every day?

No slippery slope there.

Keep the stain.
Knife can't force.

We're not gonna tell
your wife.

We're not cops.

There's a little edema.

Brain swelling.

And an area
of scarring.

Is that what's causing
the aphasia?

Actually, that's what's odd.

The scarring's not
in the area of the brain

normally associated
with conduction aphasia.

And it's old.
Happened before he hit his head.

Maybe a small stroke

or some other
underlying condition

that could be causing this,

or it might have nothing
to do with it at all.

Have you ever had
head trauma before?

An accident?

Uh-uh.

You ever had any numbness
on one side before?

Dizziness?

What is the durable?

[softly]
Shh...

No.

(female PA announcer)
Passengers for flight
number 870.

The plane will be delayed
by one half-hour...

Thanks.

Got you some coffee.

So what do you
wanna talk about?

The scarring on the MRI
could be anything.

MS, toxins,

any one of a hundred

demyelinating diseases.

If it's meningitis,
we have to ID the bug fast.

We need to do
a lumbar puncture.

I'm not doing an LP
with this edema.

We could paralyze him.

What does House say?

"The person you're trying
to reach is out of the area

or has turned off
their phone."

So what are your orders?

We need more information.

There is no more information.

We'll break
into his place.

Have fun.

How's the patient?

Fine.

Where you going?
(Foreman)
Dinner.

Oh, well I'll join you.
You can bring me up to speed.

Sorry.
Reservation for two.

(House)
When people
give themselves away,

it's by little things.

That woman over there,

she's not sneering
at her coffee.

She's recovering
from Bell's Palsy.

The cashier
at the coffee place,

she doesn't want anyone to know,
but she's dying of ALS.

There's a particular sort
of twitchy stiff arm

that's characteristic.

And then there's you.

Why aren't you
wearing your cross?

I told you,
I left it at--

You keep jewelry cleaner
under the sink

so you won't have
to go a day without it.

True, you forgot it
that morning the pipes burst.

But then you went back
and waded through the flood

to retrieve it.

So why no wading today?

Didn't you bring a book
to read or something?

Nothing.

Caffeine pills
and amphetamines.

Same stuff he told us
he was taking.

And Topamax.

An anti-convulsant?

He said there was
no history of prior seizure.

It's not even
prescribed to him.

Still doesn't explain
his fever.

Probably just using it
for weight loss.

Just gives us another lie.
He must really be devoted.

Should we check the home?

If he wanted to hide something
from his wife,

why wouldn't he hide it
in the office?

Maybe she's
hiding something.

Nothing but aspirin
and flu meds in the bathroom.

Looks like this stuff's
been sitting here for weeks.

(Chase)
Hmm, home improvement.

He probably thought he could
take the project on,

then realized it was a little
more than he could handle.

You got a point to make,
or did you just feel like

giving a long,
unnecessary explanation

for something
medically irrelevant?

What happened to the Foreman
who always has an answer?

The guy who
practically wears a sign

saying, "I'm as good as House,
but I'm nicer."

I never said that.

I guess it's safe
to be confident

when House is there
to overrule you.

Now that it's all on you?

It's different. Yeah.

Flight 106 to Nashville
has been delayed...

Either you left it behind
on purpose or by mistake.

The only reason you'd leave it
behind intentionally

is if it no longer
meant anything to you.

But since it was a gift
from your mom,

that would mean
you had a fight with her.

And since you don't talk
to ghosts, that's unlikely.

Leave it alone, Greg.

Yeah, I'm good at that.

So that leaves
forgetting it unintentionally.

But then we have
to explain

why you didn't go back for it
when you realized.

I didn't realize
until I got to the airport.

Nope, you were wearing makeup
when you got to the airport.

You can't put on makeup
without looking at yourself.

You can't look at yourself
without touching that thing.

Why does this matter
to you?

It's an anomaly.
Anomalies bug me.

Then you're gonna suffer.

[man groans]

[groaning]

I think it's his stomach.

I teal indigent.

Is it something you ate?

He keeps doing that.

I teal indigent.

Are you hungry?

No.

He's in pain.
Is it a sharp pain?

No!

Teal indigent!

Taste.

Yes!

Uh, metallic taste?

Yes!

I'll be right back.

[groans]

Attention, passengers,
flight 118...

I suppose it's also possible
that the clasp broke.

But then you'd be carrying
the thing around in your purse.

We had a fight.

We had a fight, and I was angry
and not thinking straight.

And I walked out without
my makeup and without my cross.

And I stopped at the drugstore

to buy makeup,
but I couldn't buy a cross

because they don't have an aisle
for personal talismans!

So you had a fight.

I'm sure it'll blow over.

It was about nothing.

Of course it was.

Mark's tired.
He's worried.

He's got mobility problems.

It's normal to blow up
over little things.

I don't mind fighting
over little things.

And I don't mind fighting
over big things.

That I could understand.
But we fight over nothing.

You know, a mailbox
with a sign that says

"Last pickup 5:00 p.m."

Does that mean last pickup
to go to the post office

or last pickup
to leave the post office

and be sent out of town?

You fought
over mail delivery?

I tried to get him to drop
the subject, but he wouldn't.

I told him he was right,

he thought
I was being condescending.

You were.

He's pushing me
out of his life.

Or maybe you're
misinterpreting.

Did I misinterpret with you?

At least this time
I recognize it.

That's the benefit

of convincing the only two men
you've ever loved,

they're better off without you.

Yeah.
It's all your fault.

You know, "Stacy"
in the original Greek

means relationship killer.

I'm gonna go wash my face
so I look like a grown-up again.

[cell phone rings]

Hello.

It's for you.

House.

Do you know your phone's dead?

Do you ever recharge
your batteries?

(House)
They recharge?

I just keep buying new phones.

I thought you should know your
aphasia guy is tasting metal.

Where's his creatinine?

(Wilson)
6.8.
He's got kidney failure.

Cameron's got him on dialysis,
and he's stable for the moment.

Unlike Cuddy, who's suicidal.

It's either meningitis
or encephalitis.

Or maybe autoimmune.

That's perfect.

Seems like you really
narrowed it down over dinner.

Here's the plan.

We talk to House--

Been trying.
He's not answering his cell.

It's obvious we have
to do the lumbar puncture.

There's no choice anymore.
[phone ringing]

(House)
You have to do it just right.

What are you talking about?

Either you've decided
to do a lumbar puncture,

or you have to fire me
so that I can't fire all of you

as soon as I get back in charge.

Is Cuddy there ranting?

If I'd known you'd be
out of contact--

They can handle it.

Right, so far only
three organ systems have failed.

(House)
Okay, they can't.
Doesn't matter.

The guy's
not stable enough to move.

So go rant in your own office.

Fine.
Call me when you're done.

What do you mean
by doing the LP just right?

We're not gonna screw it up.

The odds are this guy
knows something we don't.

He could know the answer
to the meaning of life.

The man can't communicate.

(House)
Have you had any indication
that he's tried

to communicate
something important?

No.

That's because you guys
haven't scared him enough.

I'm sure you've been all,

"We'll take real
good care of you."

Why should he say anything?

When you prep him,
tell him he's gonna die.

Crush all hope.

Don't let Cameron do it.

Cuddy.

You got a problem
with any of that?

You're scheduled
for a lumbar puncture.

But you shouldn't count
on that having the answers.

If your husband
continues to decline...

You'll die.

If there's anything
you haven't told us...

How you holding up?

I know what you just heard
is scary as hell, but...

Couldn't tackle the bear.

Couldn't tackle the bear.

They took my stain.

Your attention please,

due to the weather conditions,
all flights are grounded

until further notice.

Cots are being provided
on the lower level.

We apologize
for the inconvenience.

[passengers grumbling]

You want me to run down and
reserve you a cot with a view?

Where's your knapsack?

I checked it through.

Oh, that's right,

I forget it's hard
for you to carry and walk.

I booked a room
at the airport hotel

when I saw how bad
the weather was.

It's the last one available.

Your leg can't handle
a night on a cot.

Thanks.

I'm ready.

Right.

Hotel's upstairs.

Does Mark know
about this?

Mark knows
when things are bad,

I always like to have
an escape route planned.

I have to know
what's going on here.

When you have a fight with Mark
and you try to avoid me,

I have to think that--

That I'm feeling vulnerable

and I don't wanna be around you

because it might lead
to something.

Right.

But then a hotel room...

Might also lead to something.

Hmm.

So which is it?

Our relationship's
like an addiction.

It's like--

Really good drugs?

No, it's like vindaloo curry.

Okay, sure.

Really, really hot Indian curry

they make
with red chili peppers.

I know what it is.

I didn't think it was addictive.

You're abrasive and annoying
and come on way too strong,

like vindaloo curry.

When you're crazy about curry,
that's fine.

But no matter how much
you love curry,

you have too much of it,

it takes the roof
of your mouth off.

And then you
never wanna see curry

for a really,
really long time.

But you wake up one day
and you think...

God, I really miss curry.

You're a jerk.

I know.

If you hadn't just had
a fight with Mark...

For once in your life,
will you shut up?

[phone ringing]

Oh!

House.

You're on speaker phone.

How did the LP go?

Give me the Reader's Digest
condensed version.

(Chase)
Preliminary results
are some kind of infection.

Which narrows it down--

From infinity.
Yeah.

At the rate
his organs are deteriorating

he's got maybe a day or two.

Okay, well, call me back
when you have something.

(Cameron)
He was trying
to tell us something.

What did he say?

You were wrong.
It wasn't the fear.

He opened up to me when I--

Sympathetic presence
after a traumatic moment.

Classic
interrogation technique.

What did he say?

You knew that I'd--

Act the way you always do?

Yeah, I did.
What did he say?

He couldn't tackle the bear.

Now all we need is
the English-Aphasiac dictionary.

A fluent aphasiac
retrieves words

that are stored somewhere close
to the one he wants.

They can be filed
by sound or by meaning.

So if he wants to say table,
he could say label,

or he could say chair,

or he could
just say jabberwocky.

There's no way to tell.

He also said,
"They took my stain."

Hold on.

I'm gonna take
this phone downstairs

so I don't disturb you.

Is that okay?

Sure.

Keep him talking.
Write down everything he says.

Stacy...

that new makeup you bought,
you mind if I borrow it?

What did you mean by stain?

Dirty?
Soiled?

No. No.

(Foreman)
What about rhymes?

Uh, pain.

Brain?

Thane?

He's dying
from some kind of infection,

and you all
are playing word games?

Is there anything else
you haven't told us?

(Foreman)
L-Let's start this again.

Bear.
Is it bare as in naked?

Crimson desire shows up well
on sheet rock.

That's why
I chose it.

(House)
You must have gotten
one new phrase out of him.

Something.

We've been talking
to him for hours.

Maybe he's just given up.

You sure you told me everything

you found
at his home and office?

No, we're hiding something.

Maybe it's not a rhyme
or a synonym.

What else is there?

You think we should just
start guessing randomly?

Maybe House is wrong.

Hope that's not
the end of the thought.

(Cameron)
He mentioned stain
once before

when Chase
was giving him the MRI.

Before we scared him.
He did?

It's in your notes.

(Chase)
So he only talks during MRIs
and lumbar punctures?

Your theory is he can only talk
with a needle in his back or--

Or when his wife's
not in the room.

The more devoted,
the more reason to lie.

That's cynical.

You disagree?

No, I'm just kvelling.

Our little girl is growing up.

Okay, what's the best way
to rip a woman

from the side
of her dying husband?

He woke me up to lie
to a patient's wife?

Tell her there's been
a miscommunication

over their insurance coverage.

Not a big deal.

Tell me, if it is your aim

to sell me the same crazy ideas
that House does,

how are you
an improvement on House?

I brought you a coffee.

Your flight's been boarding
for 20 minutes.

I'll take a later one.

Greg, they can't leave
without you.

You checked your knapsack.

[cell phone rings]

Are we in?

Yeah.

(House)
Hi, I'm Gregory House.

I'm your attending physician.

Your wife's not there.
Start talking.

They took my stain.

I couldn't tackle the bear.

They took my stain.

(House)
Okay, shut up now.

Nice work, Cameron.

Give him the list again.

Let us know
when something sounds right.

Dirty?

Soiled?
Pain?

Brain?

Yes!

(Foreman)
Where does that get us?

We're already paying plenty
of attention to his brain.

We've got an MRI.
We've got a CT.

Are we sure he
wasn't reacting to pain?

He's been on painkillers.

(House)
Come on, Chase.

Drugs didn't do this to him.
Even if he is an addict.

I dissuade the tonal category.

Oh please, Mr. Sleeping Pills.
Amphetamines.

Bring me up.
Bring me down.

(over loudspeaker)
Will passenger Gregory House
please report to gate seven?

Gregory House to gate seven.

Ever hear this one?

You build a house.

Each wall has
a southern exposure.

Big bear comes wandering by.

What color's the bear?

White.
It's a polar bear.

You built your house
in the North Pole.

(House)
Polar.

Whatever your name is,
patient, are you bipolar?

What? I can't see.
Is he nodding?

Yes.

Topamax isn't just off-label
for weight loss.

It's off-label
for mood disorders.

Plenty of bipolars
are manic in the daytime,

depressive at night.

He's been medicating
for years with alcohol.

Sleeping through the bad hours.

It explains
the danger journalism.

It explains everything,

including the kitchen sink.

Okay, technically
it's kitchen cabinets.

He starts a project,
then he stops.

Except bipolar disorder
does not cause seizures.

(House)
And it doesn't shut down
your kidneys.

But what it does do--
(man)
Excuse me, sir.

May I see your ID?

(House)
I'm on the phone.

(man)
Now, please.

House?
What is it?

(House)
I'm a doctor.
This is an emergency call.

You have to come
with me, Sir.

I'm not going anywhere.

Do you think you're
gonna take me on?

I kick,
and I bite.

You're either on that plane,
or you're going into custody.

(Foreman)
House?

You still there?

Being bipolar
makes you take risks.

You seek excitement.
You make up stories.

I dime valutate a lever!

Fine, maybe your stories
are legit.

But people would start
to wonder.

Annoyed politicians.

Entire governments
would be on your ass.

So you couldn't tell anybody
you were bipolar.

Which was fine
until you fell in love.

And you wanted that life.

And you hear that there's
a surgical cure.

You can give the woman you love

the life she wants.

All you have to do is change.

Bilateral cingulotomy.

An experimental surgery

that some people claim
helps mood disorders.

And if it's done by gamma knife,
there's no trace of cutting.

That's the neural scarring
we saw on the MRI.

Which explained nothing
because it wasn't even

in the right area.

It's not the surgery.

It's the secrecy.

What causes recurring fever?

Neurological problems,
lethargy that you fight

with caffeine pills
and amphetamines?

It wasn't
your secret psych disorder.
[door opens]

It wasn't
your secret daily drug use.

It was the secret trip
for your secret surgery

in Caracas or Buenos Aires.

Which, by the way,
didn't work,

given the state
of your kitchen cabinets.

(Cameron)
House!

Shut up.

What's going on?

Is he right?

Your doctors
know you better than I do.

That man on the speaker phone,

he never even met you, and he
knows you better than I do.

You love me?

Yes. Yes.

You just don't trust me.

(House)
Get some blood on a slide.

Do not put it
through a computer this time.

Yep.

(Foreman)
Cerebral malaria.

I'll get him started
on intravenous quinidine.

If a human being had actually
looked at his blood

anywhere along the way,

instead of just running tests
through the computer,

the parasites would have jumped
right out at them.

The price
of the electronic age.

(Greta)
Fletch.

She'll be back.

Give her time
to miss you.

I'm counting on you
to get me off the no-fly list.

Is your patient
gonna be all right?

Physically,
his chances are good.

Physically?

Two people who weren't
meant to be together.

Maybe they'll get
a happy ending

just because they both
want it so much.

Yeah, that's usually
the way it works.

He loved her enough to convince
himself he could change.

But he couldn't,
could he?

Thank you.

You know what Woody Allen
said about relationships?

Irrational and crazy, but we
go through it all because--

We need the curry.
