So you want me to explain
how you just lost?

Or do you wanna stare
at the board

your full...
three minutes?

Cling to hope?

Come on.

It's called speed chess.

[sighs]

[singing Kiss Him Good-bye]
* Na na na na

* Na na na na

* Hey hey hey

* Good-bye *

Good game.

I said good game.

Ugh!

[girl screams]

Hey!
Hey hey!

[girl screaming]

What are you doing?

Stop that, son!
Stop that!

Back away from him.

Back away!

Call 911.
Get an ambulance!

Tell them to send two!

My head's gonna explode!

Aah!

[Massive Attack's Teardrop]

*

*

Your head still hurt?

You a moron?

Nate.

I'm clutching my head
in pain,

and he asks if it hurts?

What are you,
some kind of med student?

You look like you still
have theme birthday parties.

Sorry.

Any problems concentrating
in school lately?

Besides the dreams
of running my tongue

along
my French teacher's breasts?

No, I'm doing quite great.

The rage and pain

could be caused
by a parasite.

Does he eat a lot
of sushi?

No.

Uh, he was a vegetarian
until just a few months ago.

Any changes in behavior
since the new diet?

No.

He's been this way

since he became a teenager.

It doesn't matter
how much I yell or punish,

he's still gonna say--

Yeah, let's all shed a tear
for poor little

Nate's mother.

[fake crying]

Any more stupid questions?

(Enid)
Nate.

I hate this kid.

I like this kid.

You haven't met him.

I know you hate him.

What more
do I need to know?

The kid's not a cliché.

Anybody can get
into a fight after losing.

It takes real creativity
to beat up someone

you just beat.

The pain's not limited
to his head.

The rest is bumps and bruises
accounted for

by the 17 fights
he's been in this semester.

Concussion?

MRI was clean.
No frontal lobe tumor.

And the tox screen
showed no trace of coke

or amphetamines.

Nate went medieval
on the other kid.

Could be--
Hold on.

I'm having a moment.

This...

This could
be Foreman's last time

mistakenly suggesting
adrenal gland tumor.

Which could create
excess adrenaline.

Causes the head pain
and rage.

But not
the personality disorder.

(Foreman)
There is no
personality disorder.

He's a teenager.

Being a teenager

excuses the odd
inappropriate comment.

This kid
say anything appropriate?

He's having
cluster headaches.

Probably been having them
for years.

Question is,
what's causing them?

If it were
just a cluster headache,

he'd have swelling
around the eyes.

ER gave him ibuprofen
for the pain.

Useless for this pain.

But it could have
knocked down the swelling.

Best bet
is a vascular problem.

Normal treatment
for cluster headaches

is steroids,
which the ER also gave him.

He's still in pain.

Which means--

Normal treatment
is called normal treatment

because sometimes you have
to use abnormal treatment.

Start him on blood thinners

and give his noggin

Transcranial
Magnetic Stimulation.

Don't you dare...

touch that acerbic wit.

50 bucks to whichever
of you steps up

and treats this brat.

Not the kid's fault,
he's sick.

Fine.
You do it.

No way.
He's your brat.

I'll do it.

But I've got a job interview
after work.

Anything comes up later,
you guys handle it.

Need a peer recommendation?

Thanks.

Cameron's should suffice.

[elevator dings]

This isn't gonna turn me
into some, like,

drooling vegetable
that wets his pants, is it?

It's safe.

The magnetic pulses
activate nerve cells

which will hopefully
squelch the head pain.

Is there anything you can do
about the other pain?

From the fights?

Yeah, I mean, my face,
my shoulder.

My stomach.

I mean, I can barely
bend my fingers.

You're already on pain meds.

Nothing more I can do.

Sure you can, man.

Tell your homies
to quit stomping on me.

I'll get the word out
that you're a great guy.

So, do people watch
what they say around you?

Because I'm black?

No, because you're gay.

[exhales]

(Chase)
Cluster headaches
can persist for years,

cause irritability
or even hostility

towards others.

You mean, the illness
is affecting his personality?

If these treatments work,

it could--
Change him?

Yeah.

Oh, thank God.

Oh.

Oh, you must think
I'm awful.

Here my son's
lying in a hospital bed and--

I-I'm pretty sure
I get it.

I thought
I was a bad mother.

And I hated myself.

Because I hated him.

(House)
What have you got for me

this fine morning?

Blood thinners and TMS
had no effect.

It's not cluster headaches.

You accusing the symptoms
of lying?

Could be hemochromatosis.

Wouldn't account
for the personality disorder.

What about hypothyroidism?

He's not
getting aggressive

and lethargic,
he's getting aggressive

and aggressiver.

What about
ruptured dermoid cyst?

Sorry.

Just got dizzy there.

I was expecting
to turn right.

It's Foreman's turn
to be shot down.

The thing
that Cameron said.

Way to think
outside the box.

But no fat
in the ventricles.

It's cluster headaches.

(Chase)
Normal treatment didn't work.

Abnormal treatment
didn't work.

Good point, Foreman.

The treatments
don't always work.

Symptoms never lie.

(Cameron)
The only approved treatment
left for cluster headaches

is brain surgery.

And that's not even
a guarantee.

Back off, Foreman!

If the approved treatment
doesn't work,

we go with
an unapproved treatment.

Hey!

Something on your mind?

Because you totally
can't tell.

I had a job interview
lined up at New York Mercy

yesterday.

Hospital for Manhattan's
glitterati.

Big coup.
Your homies must be kvelling.

Didn't happen,
because apparently

I called to cancel.

I don't remember
making that call.

You think I have
a neurological issue?

Yes.

Why are you
jerking me around?

It wasn't me.

Yeah.

It was one
of the other petty,

socially repressed asses
I work for.

Maybe it was
Ashton Kutcher.

If you want me to stay,
tell me you want me to stay.

Would it matter?

No, but it'd be
the adult way to handle it.

If the adult way doesn't work,
why bother with it?

I've been
totally professional!

Gave two weeks notice,
continued to work cases.

Scheduled my interviews
on my own time.

You have no right
to screw with my future.

You're gonna be all whiny

during the differential
diagnoses, aren't you?

[sighs]

It wasn't me.

I only sabotage people
I consider worth it.

You are one evil,
cunning woman.

It's a massive turn-on.

You girls
can gossip later.

What are you talking about?

You called New York Mercy

to have
Foreman's job interview killed.

When I said, "You girls
can gossip later,"

I was throwing you out,
but in a polite way.

Well, I take it you're off
your antidepressants.

Ah, you're deflecting.

Only I'm allowed
to do that.

Does Foreman
actually think I did that?

No, just me.

But I know something
he doesn't.

I didn't do it.

Why would I do it?

Do you want him to leave?
No.

Were you planning
on doing something?

I'm waiting
for board approval.

But if he takes the job,

there's nothing
to be done.

You had to stop him.

Wasn't me.

What are you doing?

Looking for a tell.

Rapid eye blink,
twitch of the lips.

Send in Nurse Unger
when you pass her

on your way out.

Oh!

Almost forgot.

I need to give a 16-year-old
magic mushrooms

to treat a cluster headache.

Is that cool?

Yeah, no problem.

I was being sarcastic.

Wouldn't look that way
in the court transcript.

Mushrooms have psilocybins
that work on cluster headaches.

It's either that,
or cutting into his brain

and going
on a fishing expedition.

I assume you've considered
he could have

a psychogenic experience.

Possibly suffer a fit
of severe paranoia.

Well, I have now.

Yeah, it's definitely better
that the dean of medicine

prescribes it instead
of an unhinged doctor

with a history of drug use.

Takes the stink off

if the patient decides
to put on a cape

and fly off the roof.

Low dose.

No more than ten milligrams.

Tightly controlled setting.

And make sure the mother
signs off on it.

Party on, Garth.

And don't stand
in Foreman's way.

It's just wrong.

New research shows
that a chemical component

in the mushrooms can be--

Yeah, lots of technical
medical stuff.

So when do I get 'em?

I went to college.
I know about mushrooms.

A friend of a friend
shot himself in the foot.

They're not giving me
a gun, Enid!

Sign the consent form.

We'll be monitoring him,

but cardiac arrest
is possible.

(Nate)
Big E...

small N...

And if the mushrooms
don't work?

The next step would be
a type of brain surgery.

Oh, God.

Pain's gettin' worse.

Need 'shrooms now!

[Iron Butterfly's
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]

*

* In-a-gadda-da-vida, honey

* Don't you know
that I'm lovin' you *

* In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby...

Oh, yeah.

Nate, how's the pain?

* That I'll always
be true... *

Hey, hey!
It's Skippy!

[Australian accent]
The bush kangaroo!

[echoing]
Your head, Nate.

We need to know
how the pain is.

What I got here
is the opposite of pain.

That means you're suffering
from cluster headaches.

Which means, hopefully--

[laughs]

Man, you're hot.

She's making me horny.

Deal with it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You can't get me stoned,
then not close the deal.

Shut up.

Take it easy.
He's not well.

You'll regret saying no.

Check it out.

Oh, for God's sake.
[laughs]

Hold it.

What the hell are you doing?

He has undersized testes.

His other secondary sexual
characteristics are normal.

If you wanna curry favor
with me,

avoid discussions
of other men's testicles.

Thanks.

Focus on phrases like...

"You were right
about the cluster headaches."

But wrong
about what caused them.

Vascular problem
in a major artery

wouldn't cause hypogonadism.

Okay, what causes rage,
headaches, personality disorder,

and hypogonadism?

Where's Foreman?

He's mad at me.

Why?
No reason.

Yeah, that makes sense.

The male genitals
are controlled

by the hypothalamus
and pituitary gland.

We're not talking
about Foreman anymore.

The kid's being pummeled
at school.

A couple blows to the head

could cause
hypothalamic lesions.

We ever gonna talk about
what happens

when Foreman's gone?

If this were
an employee-owned airline

in Scandinavia, yes.

It's not lesions.

His temperature would
be all over the map.

Symptoms don't lie.

He's gone
in less than a week

and you haven't even
read a résumé.

Doesn't even need to.

The two of us
can handle it.

Craniopharyngioma
fits the symptoms.

Biopsy the brat's pituitary.

And let the record show

I was right
about the cluster headaches.

Forget it.

It's a straightforward
procedure.

We thread an endoscopic tube
up through the nostril--

And cut something
out of my brain?

No way.

If it's a tumor,
it could kill you.

Just give me more 'shrooms,
okay?

I'll be fine.

You only need
my consent, right?

Yeah, but it'll
be a lot easier if he--

Do whatever
you have to do.

You don't touch me,
all right?

You can touch me.
Just not my brain.

Nate, you gotta do this.

I can't take it anymore.

My God, Mom!

Save me the melodramatic
hand-wringing, okay?

Loosen up!

Get yourself coited.

I'm gonna give him
a sedative.

You're decent-looking,
Dr. Skippy.

Why don't you take her
for a ride?

Nate...

[voice slowed down]
Are you in pain?

Nate!

His heart rate's normal.
Respiration's even.

What's happening?

What's the matter
with him?

(Chase)
He's jaundiced.

His liver's shutting down.

(Chase)
We started him on sodium
polystyrene sulfonate.

His liver's operating
at about 20%

and deteriorating fast.

[exhales loudly]

Which means he'll be dead

long before Foreman
turns in his parking pass.

So, what causes
personality disorder,

head pain, blah blah blah,
and liver failure?

Liver failure
can cause hypogonadism,

head pain.

Altered mental status

leads to the
personality disorder and rage.

All we need
to do is figure out

what caused
the liver failure.

Yes--also, we need
to figure out

how symptoms yesterday
can be caused

by liver failure today.

If his liver's failing now,
it wasn't great yesterday.

If it wasn't operating
at capacity,

it could have caused--

Ooh-aah!
Whoa!

Don't sneak up on a person
like that.

I'm listening.

Well, listening
doesn't help me.

Okay.

Let's go with the liver
and a time machine theory.

Foreman, what causes
liver problems?

Wilson's disease.

No.
Ceruloplasmin's normal.

No enlargement
and no palpable mass,

so no cancer.

Could be a narrowing
of the bile ducts.

Primary Sclerosing
Cholangitis.

Most liver damage
begins with what

we put in our bodies.

Foreman?

Angry teen...alcohol.

No, blood tests
were negative.

(Cameron)
No signs of drug use

or acetaminophen poisoning
in his tox screen.

Maybe the water
was contaminated.

[pager beeping]

(Chase)
His mother
would also be sick.

Cuddy?

Sounded like someone
with back.

Go.

We'll try
and muddle through

without your blank stare
to guide us.

So if it's not

the bad things
he's putting in,

what about the good things?

(Chase)
He was raised a vegetarian.

Was raised.

Means he's all grown up.

Or he's not
a vegetarian anymore.

He started eating red meat
a few months ago.

Unless he's been buying
cuts of mad cow,

his body would
have no problem

metabolizing it.

It would if he had
an OTC deficiency.

Body can't
metabolize nitrogen,

damages the liver.

Run a hamburger test.

It's exactly
what it sounds like.

Stuff him full of meat,

wait for his ammonia levels
to spike.

I'll double your salary.

Chase and Cameron
would mutiny if they found out.

Chase and Cameron
wouldn't be heading up

their own diagnostic group.

You'll work in parallel
with House.

It'll be your practice.

Separate staff,
separate cases.

Complete autonomy.

I've only been doing this
for three years.

Three years under House.
No better training.

And when that case comes along
that I can't figure out?

You know
who I'd have to go to.

Or you can
just let that patient die.

That's completely
up to you.

No.

Why?

He's evil.

He didn't sabotage
your interview.

How do you know?

Because I did.

I didn't.

You believed me--means
you're not sure House did it.

Well, somebody did it.

Somebody here did it.

I can't work here.

This isn't
a medical procedure.

This is just about Doogie
making me eat garbage.

We need to see
how your liver processes

the proteins.

Then get me a steak,
some roast beef.

What if I brought him
something from home?

It has to be prepared here

so we know
there's no chemicals

or preservatives that could
affect the test results.

I'm not eating
anything prepared

by $5-an-hour
immigrant hospital cooks

in hairnets.

Shut up!

Either you start eating,

or I'm gonna
strap you to this bed

and shove these
down your throat

one by one--
got it?

You can't get mad at me.

I'm sick.

[fake coughing]

You're supposed
to feel bad for me.

Nurse, full set
of body restraints.

(nurse)
Yes, Doctor.

Trust me.

It'll be a lot less messy
if you do it yourself.

You killed
Foreman's job interview.

Why would I--

Somebody did.

Wasn't me,
and it wasn't House,

which means it has
to be somebody

who thought
he was protecting House.

Which means it has
to be somebody

who actually likes House.

Which means
it's either you

or the weird night janitor

who wears
his pants backwards.

I want Foreman to leave.

House has to realize
he needs someone

who stands up to him.

Cameron's in love with him,
Chase is afraid of him,

and I enable him.

House needs limits.

I give him--

You authorize
magic mushrooms.

House is a six-year-old
who thinks he's better off

without parents.

A few tummy aches
after dinners

of ice cream and ketchup
might do him some good.

You're lying.

An enabler
doesn't conspire against,

an enabler enables.

What?

You're paranoid.

You made that call.

And because of that call,

you basically guaranteed
Foreman's out of here.

I thought it would be fun
to work on my boat with him.

And you went shirtless
because skin cancer looks cool.

Well, I realize
I got burnt.

I'm not too worried
about that.

It's these white marks,
you know?

Lie down.

I mean, that boat
has all sorts of lead paint,

and there's chemicals
everywhere.

(House)
When Daddy
works on his boat,

does he have a cooler
with lots of brown bottles

with long necks?

And does Daddy like
to lie down on his boat

and go nap-nap in the sun?

Oh!
What--what the hell?

[laughter]

I will give you this

for the...

$1.41 in your pocket.

Wait, how could you know...

A psychic once told me
that I'm psychic.

Hey, one of these quarters
is Canadian.

Give me back
my syringe.

Hamburger stress test
showed no change

in his ammonia levels.

Liver's properly converting
the ammonia into urea.

He doesn't have
OTC deficiency.

Welcome back.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have been
taking my problems out

on the patient.

Or on me.

Apology accepted.

Starve him.

What are we looking for?

Diabetic steatosis
would screw up his liver.

Starve him overnight
and see if his blood sugar pops.

We mess with his blood sugar,
we could set off another rage.

Not a problem.

You can take him.

[nurse screaming]
Oh! Oh!

I want something to eat!

Honey, please don't.

What happened?

I was just trying
to get a urine sample,

and he went crazy.

I need to eat!

You're not sticking
anything else in me.

It's just
a few more hours.

You're gonna hurt yourself.

I'm gonna hurt you!

As soon as
we get a urine sample,

we can leave you alone.

You want your sample?

Here's your damn sample!

Nate, don't.

Oh, my God.

Nate, you need
to get back into bed.

Right now.

(Cameron)
Chem panel and urinalysis
confirms the bloody urine

was caused
by kidney failure.

He's on dialysis.

He's gonna need it
for the rest of his life.

Which is shortening
as we speak.

We are looking
at a Chinese menu,

and we've got symptoms
from too many columns.

They're going
to overcharge us.

Multiple organ failure
could mean

primary HIV infection.

That would mean
someone agreed

to sleep with him.

Plus his serology
is negative.

His uric acid's
slightly elevated.

10% of males
in this country have elevated--

So we're only
gonna pay attention

to abnormal abnormalities?

We've been stuffing him
with meat

and his kidneys are shot.

Of course his uric acid--

Could be hepatic fibrosis
or MCADD.

The brat's
got a genetic disorder.

Get the sequencing primers.

See if it's one
of the ones we can treat.

I can draw some blood,
but then I gotta run.

Job interview?

You gonna stop me
if it is?

You do the nurse stuff,
they'll do the doctor stuff.

This a blood test
for a marriage license?

Plan on kidnapping me
to Massachusetts or Canad...

What did you give him?

Are you treating him
for something?

Sedative.

Did he need a sedative?

I did.

Just shutting him up
so I can draw

some of his blood
in peace.

You walked in with that.

You didn't even
give him a chance.

People are what they are.

He's sick.

The rudeness
isn't his fault.

If he had tuberculosis,

it wouldn't
be his fault either.

But I still wouldn't let him
cough on me.

Hi.

Hey.

(Wilson)
Where are you going?

The lab.

We're testing
our patient's blood

for hereditary--

Cuddy thinks I sabotaged
Foreman's interview.

She's gonna fire me.

I don't believe it.

She said
it was unprofessional and--

No, I mean
I literally don't believe it.

Cuddy wouldn't fire you
for something like that.

Which means either
she lied to you,

or you're lying to me.

[elevator dings]

You so would have
fallen for that

three years ago.

You were
looking for a reaction.

You were looking for me
to feel bad for you.

To save your skin.

But how am I gonna save you?

Unless...

you think I'm the one
who really did it.

Cuddy's logic was
Foreman's valuable to House.

I care about House.

Ergo, I would
do anything to save him.

And your logic was...

I care about House
as much as you do,

ergo...

It wasn't me.

I don't care about House.

I don't believe you.

No one does.

House is nothing more
than my boss.

Foreman's nothing more
than a colleague.

You're lying.

Everyone does.
But it wasn't me.

No markers
for hepatic fibrosis.

And nothing for MCADD.

Foreman's interview in New York
got screwed up.

I heard.

Foreman thought it was House,

House thought it was Cuddy.

Cuddy thought it was Wilson,
Wilson thought it was me.

And you think it was me?

[laughs]

You think
I sabotaged Foreman?

I don't even
want him here.

I know.

Then why would
I do--

I think you sabotaged Foreman

just to sabotage Foreman.

So everyone's a suspect

because everyone
wants to help House.

Except for me.

I'm a suspect
because I'm a petty,

vindictive jerk?

You actually think
I would do something like that?

It was someone.

It wasn't me.

[beeping]

Negative
for Von Gierke disease.

And it's Tuesday.

I know.

I like you.

I know.

See you next Tuesday.

[beeping]

Found something.

He's got a partial
HPRT enzyme deficiency.

Means he could have
Kelley-Seegmiller Syndrome.

But it's
a partial deficiency.

So it may not
be Kelley-Seegmiller.

Yes.

Those are
the two options.

It is or it isn't.

Kelley-Seegmiller explains
the aggressive personality.

If he had
Kelley-Seegmiller,

he wouldn't just
be aggressive,

he'd be self-mutilating.

Chewing his lips,
banging his head.

Lovely disease.

Degenerative, fatal,
incurable.

I wonder if that's why
Cameron's on the "Not" side.

That and the fact
that symptoms don't lie.

(Chase)
Kelley-Seegmiller carriers

self-mutilate
when they're stressed.

He's in the ICU
with a failing liver

and no kidneys.

Yeah, his life is sweet.

His vegetarian diet
could have limited

the purines in his system,

slowing
the disease's progress.

So let's speed it up.

Why?

So you two kids
will stop fighting.

Also, I don't feel like
waiting

for respiratory failure.

Chase, find some way
for the mother

to get lost for a while.

I'm going to stress this kid
until he bites off a finger.

They move me to geriatrics?

Who are you?

Dr. McCaney.

The man who's gonna
kick your ass

all over this chessboard.

Yeah, well,
I'm too weak to--

Bite yourself, yeah.

You need some liquid energy.

Now, if you consent,
I'm gonna give you

this shot of adrenaline.

Ow.

I don't wanna play.

Aside from
being indicative

of pituitary issues
and certain kinds

of genetic disorders,

small testicles
also indicate...

that you're a big chicken.

Please don't make me
do the sound effect.

You're not gonna
goad me into playing.

Didn't think I'd have to.

Thought you'd just
jump at the chance

of humiliating someone.

Age before cripple.

I'm white.

It...is...on!

Bird's opening.

Passive approach.

Sign of a coward.

Sicilian defense.

Sign of an idiot.

Arrogance has to be earned.

Tell me what you've done
to earn yours.

I can walk.

I don't bleed
out of my penis.

Check.

You know,
it's a real thin line

between tortured genius

and awkward kid
who can't get girls

because he's creepy.

Why are you doing this?

To stress you out.

Check.

Yeah, but why?

I'd tell you, but I figure
it's more stressful

if you don't know why.

Yeah, well...
I'm not feeling too stressed.

You know
that no one likes you, right?

Yeah, well,
anybody like you?

You're dying.

Check.

Your move.

[heavy breathing]

[laughs softly]

Care to lay down your king?

You can't win.

You can pin my queen.

My knight to E7.

Your king to H8.

Sacrifice rook takes pawn.

Bishop blocks.

Queen to H5.

Checkmate.

Save what's left
of your dignity.

Lay down your king.

[beeping]

Crap.

(House)
He's having a seizure.

Four milligrams
IV lorazepam.

Right away.

I hate this kid.

I like this kid.

Did you get the job?

They're gonna let me know.

Kelley-Seegmiller
didn't cause this seizure.

So we've got
one more symptom,

one less diagnosis.

I assume they're gonna
call for references?

Did you give 'em my name?

No.

Amyloidosis
can cause seizures,

and the protein buildup
could cause organ failure.

Wouldn't alter
his personality.

Whose name did you give?

My last boss.

Ouch.

That can't look good.

I hate this kid.

What if we're not
dealing with one condition?

What if
it's multiple conditions?

Uh-uh, it's gotta be one.
It's always one.

Nothing explains
this constellation of symptoms.

We've gotta
be missing something.

Maybe the kid
lied about some medication.

Maybe he's hiding something.

Why would
he be hiding something?

I don't know,
because he's evil?

What if he is?

What if
the symptoms lied?

There.

Now all we're looking at

is a simple, evil jerk
with amyloidosis.

You're not being objective.

Amyloidosis was your idea.

You were right,
it doesn't fit the symptoms.

Yeah, it does.

Look.

You crossed it off

because you wanna
hate the kid.

And you can't hate him
if he's a victim--

You want him
to be a victim

because you wanna believe
that people are good.

And if they're not,

it's gotta
be a chemical problem.

Except they're not,
and it's not.

Flush him
with immunosuppressants,

get a biopsy to confirm,

and find him
a marrow donor.

(Enid)
What will happen to him?

(Chase)
Substances called
amyloid proteins

build up
in the body's organs,

shutting them down.

It's a fairly rare disease.

And I'm afraid
it can be fatal.

So do you operate
or something to take them out?

He needs
a bone marrow transplant.

Dr. Cameron is searching
the donor bank.

We should test you
as well.

(Enid)
When you first told me
he was sick...

I was...happy.

Relieved.

Now...

(Foreman)
Nate, I'm gonna take
a small piece of nerve

from your ankle.

Let me know
if you feel any pain.

I'm burning up.

Couldn't you just
knock me out

like you did last time?

Wish I could.

But your body
has to be clear

so it's ready
for a marrow transplant.

(Nate)
Hey, Dr. X...

I know you've busted ass
trying to save me.

It's all right.

I wasn't gonna thank you.

I was gonna tell you
you really suck at this.

We're doing our best.

That's sort of my point.

Your best really sucks.

[sighs]

[beep]

Nerve biopsy was clean.

No evidence of amyloidosis.

It was your idea.

Don't give up on it
so fast.

He's running a fever.

If it's two conditions,

one of them's
gotta be an infection.

We should start him
on antibiotics,

see what clears up,
what doesn't.

Is he having trouble
breathing?

Yeah, he has mucus
in his chest

from an infection.

Could also
be an amyloid buildup.

Keep him on immunosuppressants
and biopsy somewhere else,

his sinuses.

Look, you got two choices.

Engage me in a futile argument
then do what I asked,

or just do what I asked.

You're not ready.

There was a third choice.

Don't do what I asked.

You could have defied me,
stuck the kid on antibiotics.

But you didn't.

Because you still
trust my judgment

more than your own.

You sabotaged
Foreman's job interview,

didn't you?

Foreman's already
been over this.

It wasn't me.

Everybody's chasing ghosts
over this.

Which means
either nobody did it,

or somebody wants everybody
chasing ghosts.

Now,
who does that sound like?

And why would I do that?

Because as long as Foreman
thought you were guilty,

he was gonna
be useless around here.

You know, sometimes I forget
why I hired you.

You cost him
a good opportunity

and gained nothing.

I cost him
a crappy opportunity.

New York Mercy's
where you go

to treat boils and cysts
and build a 401K.

If you want him to stay,
tell him.

I don't.
And there'd be no point.

You do.

And the point would
be to make him feel

like he's wanted.

He doesn't need that.

All right, then.

It'd make him feel
like maybe you weren't evil.

He needs that.

Talk to Foreman.

We dumped one symptom.

But forgot to add one.

Revenge time, Nate.

Are you...
Yes!

I am.

Black or white?

Just limp away.

He doesn't wanna play.
Leave him alone.

Pick one,
or this comes out.

And for all you know,
this is really important.

Ow!
Stop it!

That hurts, right?

Which is odd,

because I'm really
enjoying this.

You hold the pieces
that way

because you can't
bend your thumb.

Because your bones
have formed abnormally.

Thanks to all the crap

that's been pushing its way
in between them.

Actually, this stuff
isn't important at all.

Your doctors said
he needs immunosuppressants.

They're idiots.

It's not amyloidosis.
It's iron.

He's got hemochromatosis.

The body absorbs iron
from food,

but can't process it.

Can't get rid of it.

And idle iron
is the devil's playground.

It builds up
in the organs and joints,

whacking them
in the process.

Caused all of the symptoms.

Including something
that wasn't a symptom.

Those body aches, they were not
from the fighting.

His personality issues?

Sorry.

The iron's innocent
on that count.

Your kid's a jerk.

And yeah,
it's probably your fault.

Although,
if you'd stayed off the meat

like your mom said,

you'd have
half as much iron,

and be twice less
almost dead.

Aah!

Oh, nurse!

[beeping]

This patient is bleeding
for some reason.

Is he going to be okay?

He'll need dialysis.

And he'll have
to get his blood drained

every few months
for the rest of his life.

But my condolences.

It's going to be a long
and annoying life.

And I wouldn't
have taken your bishop.

I'd have moved my queen to D6,
defusing the threat.

Then rook to E8,
attacking the king's pawn.

I'd have lost the exchange,
but won the game.

I know.

I was bluffing.

And that's why...
[snickers]

you lost.

[muttering]
Little jerk.

You just here to watch,
or you got something to say?

Still running
the new biopsy

for amyloidosis?

Yeah, but still nothing.

Run the test again.

Recheck your results.

Looks like you're in
for an all-nighter.

[sighs]
