BIG EYE, THIS IS COBRA ZERO SIX.

JUST ENTERED INDIAN COUNTRY,

APPROACHING WAY POINT FOUR.

REQUEST CONFIRMATION
TO ENGAGE TARGET

ON FIRST APPROACH.

[man on radio]
ROGER, COBRA ZERO SIX.

BIG EYE WAITING
FOR CONFIRMATION AS WELL.

WE WAIT ANY LONGER, BIG EYE,

WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE
ANY CHOICE IN THE MATTER.

I CAN'T EXACTLY
DO A U-TURN HERE.

ROGER THAT, COBRA.
HOLD FOR CONFIRMATION.

[lightning cracks]

[alarm buzzing]

[panting]

[door squeaks]

[knocking]

CAPTAIN COOPER,
ARE YOU OKAY?

WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU WEREN'T ANSWERING.

BECAUSE THE DAMN COMCORD
GOT DISCONNECTED.

YOU SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS
ON THE AVIONICS

AND DON'T BOTHER TO CHECK
THE COMM CONNECTION?

NO, I CHECKED THAT TWICE
BEFORE YOU GOT IN--

AND THE NEXT TIME
YOU ASK US

TO TEST A PROTOTYPE,

IT'D BE NICE
IF YOUR DIRECTIONAL GYRO

DIDN'T SPIN LIKE A TOP

WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
500 FEET OFF THE FLOOR.

I'M SORRY.

I'LL GO REVIEW
THE SIMULATION,

SEE IF I CAN FIGURE OUT
WHAT WENT WRONG.

[Massive Attack's Teardrop]

*

(House)
WHO IS THIS MAN?

COME ON, TAKE A SHOT.

I'M NOT GONNA FIRE YOU EVERY
TIME YOU GET A WRONG ANSWER.

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN.

YOU'RE FIRED.

DOES THIS MAN LOOK LIKE HE'S
CEDING CZECHOSLOVAKIA

TO A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP?

(man)
IT'S BUDDY EBSEN,

THE ACTOR.

HE'S DEAD.

- WHY ARE WE--
- BUDDY EBSEN

WAS THE ORIGINAL TIN MAN
IN THE WIZARD OF OZ.

FOR A DAY.

HE WAS DIAGNOSED ALLERGIC

TO THE ALUMINUM DUST
IN THE MAKEUP.

HIS LUNGS FAILED,

NEARLY DIED.

QUESTION IS, WHY?

DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY
HE WAS ALLERGIC?

YOU MAY NOT HAVE LEGS,

BUT YOU GOT EARS.

I SUGGEST YOU USE THEM.

I SAID HE WAS DIAGNOSED
ALLERGIC.

SINCE WE ARE CURRENTLY SHORT

EXACTLY ONE
INTERESTING PATIENT,

WE ARE GONNA FIGURE OUT

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
TO BUDDY EBSEN IN 1938.

NOW, ON THE ONE HAND,
HE'S NOT GETTING DEADER.

ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOUR JOBS HANG IN THE BALANCE.

- SO--
(Cuddy)
- HOUSE.

I WANT SEVEN ALTERNATE DIAGNOSES
WHEN I GET BACK.

DID YOU FORGET
HOW TO COUNT TO THREE?

I GET BUDGET FOR THREE.

DOESN'T MEAN
I CAN ONLY HIRE THREE.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT IT MEANS.

I CUT THE PERMANENT SALARIES
BY 10%.

OVER THREE YEARS,
THAT'LL MORE THAN MAKE UP

FOR THE BREAKAGE
ON THE 27

THAT I'M GONNA WEED OUT
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

THERE'S 40 PEOPLE
IN THERE.

ROW D,
YOU'RE FIRED.

I DIDN'T ACTUALLY COUNT
ALL THE RESUMES.

THIS IS STUPID.

YOU CAN'T MANAGE
THAT MANY PEOPLE.

YOU'RE JUST GONNA KEEP WEEDING
THEM OUT ARBITRARILY.

SURE, AND HAVING THEM
SITTING IN MY OFFICE

SCHMOOZING ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE
ALGERIAN SURFING MOVIES

IS A MUCH BETTER SYSTEM.

WAIT A SEC,
WERE YOU IN ROW D?
YES.

MY APOLOGIES, MY BOSS SAYS
I'M BEING ARBITRARY AND STUPID.

ROW D IS NOT FIRED.
ROW C IS FIRED.

GREAT.
THANK YOU.

SEE, THAT WAS NOT ARBITRARY.

[beeping]
WELL, I'D LOVE TO CHAT,

BUT I'VE BEEN PAGED.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

APPARENTLY PAGED MYSELF.

IF YOU HAVE A RESUME THERE,
NOT INTERESTED.

BUT I WOULDN'T MIND HEARING
HOW YOU GOT MY PAGER NUMBER.

IT'S NOT A RESUME.

$50,000.

DOES ONE-EYED NICKY
WANT ME TO RUN THAT

TO JIMMY THE NOSE?

IT'S FOR MY MEDICAL BILLS.

I NEED YOU TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

WELL, INSURANCE IS USUALLY
CHEAPER THAN THAT.

CASH MEANS THERE
IS SOMETHING TO HIDE.

I'M A CAPTAIN
IN THE AIR FORCE

ABOUT TO START
A NEW ASSIGNMENT.

NASA'S ASTRONAUT
TRAINING PROGRAM.

I DISCOVERED SALT
AND CREATED FM RADIO.

SOMETHING IS WRONG.

WITH MY EYES,
MY EARS.

WELL, IF IT'S FIXABLE,

THE AIR FORCE
WILL DO IT FOR FREE.

IF NOT, DOESN'T MATTER.

THERE ARE 100 APPLICANTS
READY TO TAKE MY PLACE

WHO DON'T NEED
TO BE FIXED.

I NEED TO DO THIS
OFF THE BOOKS.

I DID THE RESEARCH.

YOU'RE THE BEST,
YOU BREAK RULES,

AND YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE
EXCEPT YOURSELF.

WELL, LET'S SAY THAT'S TRUE.

YOU GET A NEW JOB,

HOSPITAL GETS
A NICE WAD OF CASH.

WHAT DO I GET?

I CRASHED A FLIGHT SIMULATOR

BECAUSE I STARTED TO HEAR
WITH MY EYES.

[door latches shut]

THE ALUMINUM
COULD'VE BEEN TAINTED--

DON'T CARE.

NEW PATIENT.

30-YEAR-OLD FEMALE
WITH SYNESTHESIA.

NEW RULES.

YOU GENERATE A LAB REPORT,
YOU SHRED IT.

X-RAY, YOU MELT IT.

NO NOTES, NO RECORDS,
NOTHING.

AS FAR AS YOU'RE CONCERNED,
THE PATIENT

IS OSAMA BIN LADEN.

AND EVERYONE NOT IN THIS ROOM
IS DELTA FORCE.

ANY QUESTIONS?

WE'RE PROTECTING
OSAMA BIN LADEN?

IT'S A METAPHOR.

GET USED TO IT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN GONNA
TELL US HER NAME?

YOU THINK HER NAME
MIGHT BE CONNECTED

TO WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?

[as Ed McMahon]
HERE'S OSAMA!

NOW, YOU ALL HAVE NUMBERS,
SO WE'RE GONNA DO THIS

ALPHABETICALLY.

8, 15, AND 5.

IS THE SYNESTHESIA NEW?

YES.

ANY HISTORY OF SIMILAR SYMPTOMS

OR PSYCHIATRIC--
NO, NOTHING.

ARE YOU
ON ANY PRESCRIPTION MEDS?

OR USE ANY OTHER DRUGS?

NO.

SHOULD WE TRUST HER ANSWERS?

YOU THINK I'D PULL YOU
OFF BUDDY EBSEN

JUST FOR A JUNKIE?

CAN WE TRUST
YOUR ANSWERS?

WELL, YOU GOTTA TRUST
SOMEONE, RIGHT?

NO.

HAS ANYONE CLOSE TO YOU

BEEN SICK LATELY,
A FAMILY MEMBER,

A COWORKER?

NO, NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

TWO DOWN.
KITTY CARLISLE.

YOU SPEND MUCH TIME
ABOVE 20,000 FEET?

WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?

PEOPLE WHO FLY ARE IMMOBILE
FOR LONG PERIODS.

COULD BE A LEG CLOT
THAT EMBOLIZED

TO THE BRAIN THROUGH A PFO.

UNUSUAL CHOICE.

WELL, LIKE YOU SAID,
YOU WOULDN'T INTERRUPT BUDDY

WITH ANYTHING THAT WASN'T.

THE PATIENT IS...
A FREQUENT FLIER.

13, 32, 39.

GET OSAMA AN EEG, MRI,
AND ANGIOGRAM.

HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT

OSWALD ACTED ALONE?

IF, BY ALONE, YOU MEAN THAT HE
WAS UNAWARE THAT THE CIA--

OH, SHUT UP.

SPLIT YOURSELF INTO TWO GROUPS.

TEST HER BLOOD.
TEST HER STOOL.

WHO LIKES
THE DESIGNATED HITTER?

YOU'RE WRONG.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE NOT FIRED.

TWO MORE GROUPS.
LPs AND CULTURES.

WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT
A DESIGNATED HITTER IS?

OKAY, HERE'S HER ADDRESS.

I WANT YOU TO BREAK IN,

FIND OUT WHAT SHE'S HIDING.

[with thick accent]
WHY DON'T WE JUST

ASK THE PATIENT
FOR THE KEY?

WELL, IF YOU COULD FIND OUT
WHAT SHE'S HIDING

JUST BY ASKING,

WE'D HAVE TO REDEFINE "HIDING."

YOU WANNA LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY,

LEARN THE LANGUAGE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
THE REST OF US TO DO?

30 PEOPLE FOR THREE OPENINGS,

AND I WANT YOU
TO WASH MY CAR.

THIS IS NOT WHY I BUSTED MY ASS
IN MED SCHOOL.

WE SPEND HALF AN HOUR CLEANING
A CAR, BIG DEAL.

IT'S DEMEANING.

WORK IS DEMEANING?

WE'RE TOO GOOD FOR THIS--

OH, DON'T GIVE ME THAT HONEST
DAY'S LABOR CRAP.

WE ALL WENT TO MED SCHOOL

SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO
AN HONEST DAY'S LABOR.

WHAT ABOUT
AN HONEST HOUR'S LABOR?

IN EXCHANGE, WE GET A SHOT
AT LEARNING FROM

ONE OF THE BEST DIAGNOSTICIANS
IN THE WORLD.

NO.

WE DON'T.

IF WE DID,
WE'D BE ONE OF THE ONES

DRAWING BLOOD
OR CHECKING FOR TOXINS.

WE'RE DONE.

HE'S JUST NOT
GONNA CUT US LOOSE

UNTIL WE'VE DUSTED HIS SHELVES

AND STARCHED HIS SHIRT.

[sponge slams water]

I'M OUTTA HERE.

WHO'S WITH ME?

ARE WE SURE
HE WASN'T JOKING?

MAYBE THIS
IS JUST A TEST.

EVERYTHING'S A JOKE,
AND EVERYTHING'S A TEST.

AND HE WANTS US
TO DO IT.

COME ON, GET UP HERE.

I COULD TRY, BUT I PULLED
A MUSCLE IN 1987.

I DIDN'T WASTE TWO YEARS
REPEATING MEDICAL SCHOOL

TO BE ARRESTED AND DEPORTED.

WHY'D THEY MAKE YOU REPEAT?

NOT ENOUGH GYM CREDITS?

ACCORDING TO THE STATE
OF NEW JERSEY,

MEDICAL SCHOOLS
IN MY COUNTRY

SUFFER FROM NOT BEING
FROM THIS COUNTRY.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET IT OPEN,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME DOWN
AND LET ME IN.

OR YOU COULD JUST
WAIT OUT HERE.

THIS IS A COMPETITION.

CHANGE YOUR MIND?

NO.

THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?

NEVER INTENDED TO QUIT.

WELL, THEN WHY DID YOU--

INTENDED TO GET EVERYONE ELSE
TO QUIT.

GET OFF THE CAR.

I NEED TO CLEAN IT.

WE NEED TO CLEAN IT.

I STOLE HIS KEYS.

WE'LL TAKE IT
TO A CAR WASH.

HE'S GOT PEOPLE BREAKING
INTO A WOMAN'S APARTMENT.

OBVIOUSLY, RESPECTING
PERSONAL PROPERTY

ISN'T ONE OF THE RULES.

I TOLD THE SUPER
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY NIECE.

SHE HASN'T BEEN ANSWERING
THE TELEPHONE.

NICE GUY.
TWO DAUGHTERS AT MOUNT HOLYOKE.

NO EVIDENCE OF CLOTS.

AND OTHER THAN ELEVATED
RED BLOOD CELL COUNTS,

UH, THE, UH,
BLOOD WORK WAS...

UNREMARKABLE.

GOT A PROBLEM
WITH THE NAKED FEMALE FORM?

NOT AT ALL.

MAYBE SHE'S JUST NOT USED

TO SEE IT SPOONING
WITH THE NAKED DOLPHIN FORM.

THAT'S NOT A DOLPHIN.

IT'S A PORPOISE.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE,
YOU KNOW.

SALARY, FOR ONE THING.

YOU WANT US
TO GIVE YOU A MINUTE?

HIGH RED BLOOD CELL COUNT
LIKELY MEANS--

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

THERE ARE A LOT
OF DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS

FOR ELEVATED
RED BLOOD CELLS.

YEAH, WELL, WHICH ONE
FITS BEST

WITH THE DAMAGED FLUID
THAT YOUR COMPETITORS FOUND

IN THE GAS FIREPLACE

IN OSAMA'S CAVE?

CAR'S CLEAN.

DID YOU JUST SEE
A BLOND GUY

WITH A PRETENTIOUS ACCENT?

CAN'T SEE AN ACCENT.

GOOD POINT.

CAN I HAVE
MY CAR KEYS BACK?

GIMME THE CAR KEYS,

PUT THE PATIENT
IN A HYPERBARIC CHAMBER,

AND NO MORE PRIME NUMBERS
FOR YOU.

[keys clink]

THANK YOU.

THE HIGH PRESSURE AND OXYGEN

WILL FLUSH THE CARBON MONOXIDE
FROM YOUR SYSTEM.

THIS MUCH OXYGEN
FOR TOO LONG

CAN HAVE SOME TOXIC EFFECTS,

SO WE'LL DO THIS
IN CYCLES.

CAN I TALK TO YOU
A SECOND?

YOU'RE WORKING THAT THING
ALL THE TIME.

IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING

HER HEART RATE
AND BLOOD PRESSURE.

YEAH, I WAS
UNTIL YOU PULLED ME OVER HERE.

I'M SENDING OUT A CONSULT
ON ANOTHER PATIENT.

OKAY.
WHAT?

I'M NOT QUITTING
MY OLD JOB

UNTIL I'M SURE
I'VE GOT A NEW ONE.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

YOU HAD A LOOK.

YEAH.
I DID.

SORRY.

[heart monitor beeps]

I THINK SHE'S HAVING
A HEART ATTACK.

NO, I JUST FEEL
A LITTLE FUNNY.

[beeping]

TACHYARRHYTHMIA.

CALL THE CODE!

NOTHING.

V-FIB.
HEY, WHERE THE HELL IS--

- CLEAR.
- ARE YOU CRAZY?

- YOU CAN'T USE THOSE.
WE'RE IN A--
- CLEAR.

[beeping]

[paddles click]

[alarm blares]

SHE'S ON FIRE!

HER HEART'S BEATING.

AND WE ARE SO FIRED.

(Kutner)
WE'VE STARTED HER

ON NITRO AND BLOOD THINNERS.

ELECTROLYTES AND POST-ARREST
EKG WERE NORMAL.

THE ATTACK WAS NOT CAUSED
BY THE PROCEDURE.

SO WHAT DOES CAUSE
SYNESTHESIA,

HIGH RED BLOOD CELL COUNT,
AND HEART ATTACK?

AREN'T WE GONNA DISCUSS
WHAT CAUSED

THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE
OF BURNT FLESH?

HE BROUGHT CHARGED PADDLES
INTO AN OXYGENATED ROOM.

AND YOU DIDN'T STOP HIM.

MEANS EITHER YOU THOUGHT
IT WAS A CHANCE WORTH TAKING,

MAKING YOU A HYPOCRITE,

OR YOU THOUGHT
HE'D FAIL,

MAKING YOU A CUTTHROAT
LITTLE PIXIE.

WHAT CAUSES--

TAKAYASU'S SYNDROME.

NOT WITHOUT A RASH
AND A FEVER.

- IT'S GOTTA BE WHIPPLE'S.
- NO WAY.

YOU EVER SEE WHIPPLE'S
WITHOUT ABDOMINAL PAIN?

STOP IT!

THIS ARGUMENT IS DISTRACTING
EVERY MALE AND LESBIAN HERE.

YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT IN THE SENSE
THAT YOU'VE CONVINCED ME

THAT YOU'RE BOTH WRONG.

(Henry)
WHAT ABOUT CARDIOMYOPATHY?

STRUCTURAL ABNORMALITY
CAUSES THE HEART ATTACK

AND THROWS CLOTS
TO THE BRAIN,

LEADING TO SYNESTHESIA.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

I'M 21.
UNLESS IT'S RELEVANT.

OKAY, SCOOTER.

DO A TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHO.

AND SINCE
THE POSITIVE DIVISORS

OF 26 ARE 2 AND 13,

HAVE THEM ASSIST.

REST OF YOU,

GO TO THE CAFETERIA,

DOCUMENT TEN THINGS

THAT CAN CAUSE INFECTION.

EACH.

I WOULDN'T.

SOMEONE NAMED "17"

THINKS THERE COULD BE LISTERIA
IN THE CREAM CHEESE.

17'S A STUPID NUMBER.

WHAT'S CHASE DOING HERE?

YOU SAW CHASE?

LAST NIGHT,
OUTSIDE MY OFFICE.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

IT'S MORE CURIOUS
THAN ACTUALLY--

CHASE TOOK A JOB

AT THE MAYO CLINIC
IN ARIZONA...

A WEEK AGO.

INTERESTING.

IT WASN'T FOREMAN OR CAMERON
YOU "SAW," BUT CHASE,

THE ONE YOU FIRED.

NOT INTERESTING.

SOMEONE WHO LOOKED
LIKE SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW

WALKED BY MY OFFICE.

IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING

WHEN REPRESSED GUILT
STARTS UNREPRESSING ITSELF.

THE ONLY THING I FEEL
GUILTY FOR IS THIS.

WE'RE GONNA FEED
THIS ENDOSCOPE

DOWN YOUR ESOPHAGUS,

TRY TO FIND WHERE
YOUR HEART MIGHT BE DAMAGED.

IT'S GONNA FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE.

BUT JUST KEEP SWALLOWING.

I PROMISE YOU'LL BE FINE.

SHE'S READY.

GO AHEAD.
TAKE A WHACK.

RIGHT.

SO IF WE DON'T
FIND ANYTHING,

HOUSE BLAMES ME.

OR YOU FIND SOMETHING
AND GET A GOLD STAR.

WHY DON'T YOU WANT
TO DO IT?

HOUSE ISN'T GONNA BE IMPRESSED

BY A GRAY HAIR
DOING HIS TEN THOUSANDTH ECHO.

SO YOU'RE JUST BEING
ALTRUISTIC.

THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS.

DOCTOR?

CALL ME "13."
I'M NOT GETTING INVESTED.

HER HEART'S
STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

NO CLOTS.
NO VALVULAR DEFECTS.

NO WALL MOTION
ABNORMALITIES.

GOT THAT
FROM "STRUCTURALLY SOUND."

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

"STRUCTURALLY SOUND."
I ASSUME YOU'RE NOT

ALL WALKING WITH ME
TO TELL ME YOU FOUND NOTHING.

IT SHOWED A SHORT BURST
IN THE AT--

OKAY. WHO'S NEXT?

SHOWED A SHORT BURST
OF ATRIAL FLUTTER.

I RAN A RHYTHM STRIP TWICE
AND GOT THE SAME RESULT.

STOP.

OKAY, HERE'S HOW WE DIAGNOSE
IN TRANSIT.

I LEAD, YOU DRAFT.

I MOVE, YOU MOVE.

I STOP, YOU STOP.
GOT IT?

FLUTTER CAN MEAN

HORMONE OVERPRODUCTION.

WHY DID YOU DO THE TEST?

I GAVE IT TO SCOOTER.

- WE DIDN'T THINK
IT MATTERED--
- IT DOESN'T.

IT MATTERS THAT YOU LET HER.

OKAY.

10, 24, 39,

RUN A TRH STIMULATION TEST
FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM.

THAT COULD CAUSE
ANOTHER HEART ATTACK.

PROVING HER FIRST ATTACK
WAS CAUSED BY HER THYROID.

WHICH IS KINDA THE POINT,
RIGHT?

[elevator doors open]

AH! AH! AH! AH!

I RIDE ALONE.

THE HORMONES STIMULATE
YOUR THYROID.

DON'T WORRY
IF YOU GET FLUSHED

OR YOU START TO SWEAT.

IT MEANS
THE THYROID'S WORKING.

AND, UH, IF YOU WANT,
I CAN REMOVE THAT MOLE.

I'M A PLASTIC SURGEON.
YOU'RE ALLOWED A LITTLE VANITY.

I'M FINE WITH THE WAY
I LOOK.

GOOD FOR YOU.

ALTHOUGH, I DO FIND IT
A BIT ODD THAT SOMEONE

SO SELF-ASSURED
DOESN'T WANT HER DOCTORS

TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG
WITH HER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHY ELSE AM I HERE?

YOU'RE JERKING US AROUND.

YOU'RE HANDCUFFING US
WITH ALL THESE RESTRICTIONS.

I'M FEELING WARM.

HER PULSE IS 120.
STOP PUSHING.

IF HOUSE THOUGHT
THIS WOULD HANDICAP US,

HE WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN
THE CASE.

OR MAYBE THAT'S WHY
HE TOOK THE CASE.

HE WANTS TO SEE
IF WE CAN GET IT

OUT OF HER ON OUR OWN.

WHAT DID YOU FIND
IN HER HOME?

YOU WERE IN MY HOME?

- NOTHING.
- TRAVEL PICTURES,

YEARBOOK,

HER NAME
ON AN EMPLOYMENT SLIP?

WE WEREN'T CHECKING
FOR THAT STUFF, OKAY?

OBVIOUSLY, HOUSE DIDN'T
WANT US TO.

YOU'RE GONNA--YOU'RE GONNA
OUT ME, AREN'T YOU?

YOU'RE GONNA RUIN
EVERYTHING.

NOBODY'S TRYING
TO DO ANYTHING.

JUST RELAX.

THIS IS NOT A NORMAL
RESPONSE TO THE TEST.

PULSE AND BP ARE TOO HIGH.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

DON'T TOUCH ME.

PAGING ME DURING
JUDGE JUDY,

NOT THE BEST WAY
TO WIN MY AFFECTIONS.

SHE HAD ANOTHER EPISODE
OF SYNESTHESIA.

IT SET OFF
A PSYCHOTIC ATTACK.

AND NOW SHE RAN IN THERE
AND MUST'VE JAMMED SOMETHING

IN THE HANDLES.

SO YOU CALL ME,

THE GUY WITH ONE GOOD LEG
AND ZERO LEVERAGE.

(Taub)
UH, WE BREAK THAT DOOR DOWN,
SECURITY SHOWS UP,

AND HER NAME GOES
IN A FILE.

LUCKILY, VIOLENCE
IS NOT THE LAST RESORT.

EXTORTION IS.

SO GO AHEAD.
EXTORT HER.

IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR,
WE'RE GOING TO BREAK IT DOWN.

CLEVER.

AN APPEAL TO HER DEEP CONCERN
FOR HOSPITAL PROPERTY.

LET'S SEE HOW THAT WORKS.

HMM.

IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR,
YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.

GO AWAY!

YOU SEEM TO BE GETTING
TO HER.

SHE DOESN'T CARE
IF SHE DIES.

YOU THINK SHE WANTS
TO DIE?

NO, BUT I THINK SHE ONLY
WANTS TO LIVE

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

OPEN UP OR I BLAB
YOUR SECRET TO EVERYONE.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

I DO.

NO.

NO.

ANYBODY THINK
THAT A SEDATIVE MIGHT--

I'M TRYING.

WHO'S THAT?

WHO IS SHE?

OSAMA BIN LADEN.

WHO IS SHE?

IS SHE OKAY?

SHE'S STABLE.

WHO IS SHE?

WHAT DID HOUSE TELL YOU?

THAT SHE IS ON THE RUN

FROM AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME
SYNDICATE.

THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD US.

HOUSE MAY BE YOUR BOSS,

BUT I'M HOUSE'S BOSS.

YOU WANT TO WORK HERE,

I BETTER BE OKAY
WITH IT.

HONESTLY, HE DIDN'T TELL US
ANYTHING ABOUT WHO SHE WAS--

(Mason)
HER NAME'S GRETA COOPER.

WANTS TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.

DOESN'T WANT NASA TO KNOW

HER BRAIN'S GETTING
HER EARS CONFUSED

WITH HER EYES.

I WENT THROUGH HER MAIL.

(Cuddy)
YOU'RE A VIRUS, HOUSE.

NOW INSTEAD OF ONE LIABILITY,
I'VE GOT 20.

APPARENTLY, ONLY 19.

WHICH NUMBER WAS IT?

FROM NOW ON, EVERYTHING YOU DO
GETS CHARTED.

WITH PEN ON PAPER.

IN A BINDER THAT SAYS PRINCETON
PLAINSBORO TEACHING HOSPITAL

ON THE COVER.

[as a whining teenager]
MOM!

IF YOU WANT TO RUN SOMETHING
THROUGH THE LABS,

I GET A COPY.

IF YOU DO SCANS,
I GET A COPY.

IF YOU THINK
ABOUT DOING SCANS,

I GET A COPY.

YOU KNOW MY CURRENT THOUGHTS,
RIGHT?

I DON'T HAVE TO PUT THOSE
ON PAPER.

[door opens]

THREE ISSUES.

ONE. #10, YOU'RE FIRED.

SHE TOLD YOU?

WELL, IT HAD TO BE SOMEONE
WHO WENT TO HER HOME.

#26 IS HALF ASLEEP.

MISSED HIS AFTERNOON NAP.

OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN'T
FEEL GUILT.

#2 IS HERE ON A VISA

SHE CAN'T JEOPARDIZE--

YOU CAN'T KNOW.

AND THAT CHICK'S

BEEN POINTING AT YOU

SINCE I WALKED IN.

ISSUE TWO.

WHAT CAUSES SYNESTHESIA,
HIGH RBC,

TACHYARRHYTHMIA,
AND PANIC ATTACKS?

SLIGHT GLUCOSE ELEVATION--

THAT SAYS THYROID.

BASELINE
THYROTROPIN'S 1.1.

1.3
WHATEVER.

HER THYROID'S WORKING.

WHAT ABOUT HER LIVER?

ORIGINAL A.L.T. LEVELS
WEREN'T ABNORMAL

BUT WERE NEAR THE EDGE.

SHE HAS PATIENT DATA
ON HER PDA.

I DO NOT.
I SAW THE LAB VALUES.

YOU SAID WE COULDN'T WRITE
ANYTHING DOWN.

I ALSO SAID
I WANTED ANSWERS.

(Amber)
LIVER CANCER'S THE MOST LIKELY.

PARANEOPLASTIC SYNDROME.

WE NEED TO DO AN MRI.

WHICH BRINGS US
TO ISSUE THREE.

YOU'RE SAYING
WE CAN WRITE STUFF DOWN?

TO YOU, I'M SAYING
YOU'RE FIRED.

TO EVERYONE ELSE,
I'M SAYING--

BUT YOU SAID SPECIFICALLY--

I HATE TATTLETALES.

SHE TATTLED ON 10.

NOW YOU TATTLED TWICE.

ISSUE THREE--

COME ON, LET'S GO.

ISSUE THREE.

HOW DO WE DO TESTS
WHEN WE CAN'T DO TESTS?

DR. CUDDY DIDN'T SAY
WE CAN'T DO TESTS.

SHE SAID WE HAVE TO CHART.

IF WE CHART,
WE WON'T GET CONSENT.

SO WE CAN'T.

THE PATIENT'S LIFE
MAY DEPEND ON HER CONSENTING.

HER DREAMS DEPEND ON HER
NOT CONSENTING.

SO HOW DO WE DO TESTS
WHEN WE CAN'T DO TESTS?

YOU'VE GOT AN HOUR.

[door opens]

HOW DO YOU SCAN A LIVER
WITHOUT SCANNING A LIVER?

AND WHAT'S CAMERON
DOING HERE?

INTERESTING.

SO YOU'RE SEEING
CAMERON NOW.

NO, NOT "INTERESTING,"
BECAUSE NOT "SEEING."

"SAW."

MY PATIENT WON'T CONSENT
TO MRIs OR ULTRASOUNDS.

AND YOU'VE DEALT
WITH MORE LIVER CANCER

THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE.

SO YOU WANT ME TO SHARE

THE SECRET SCANNING TECHNIQUES
I LEARNED IN NEPAL?

UNFORTUNATELY, THE MONKS
MADE ME SWEAR A BLOOD OATH.

WHERE WAS SHE?

IN THE LOBBY.

MM.

GUESS WE COULD PALPATE

THE AREA AROUND THE LIVER.

WHICH WON'T WORK
UNLESS THE TUMOR'S ENORMOUS,

WHICH YOU KNOW.

WHICH MEANS YOU'RE HERE

BECAUSE THESE VISIONS
ARE FREAKING YOU OUT.

SHE HAD BLONDE HAIR.

WHY WOULD I HALLUCINATE THAT?

YES.

YES, WHY ARE YOU MERGING
CAMERON AND CHASE?

WE SHOULD FIND OUT

BEFORE THE NEXT TIME
YOU SEE HER

WHEN SHE'LL BE BLACK.

MM-HMM, OF COURSE,

IT'S SCIENTIFICALLY
IMPOSSIBLE

FOR A PERSON TO GO BACK
AND VISIT SOMEWHERE THEY WORKED.

NO. BUT SINCE SHE'S NOT
A DEAD CAT,

IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY
IMPOSSIBLE

FOR HER TO BE IN TWO PLACES
AT ONCE.

PHYSICS JOKE.

DON'T HEAR ENOUGH OF THOSE.

SHE JUST CALLED ME
FROM ARIZONA.

NOTICE THE AREA CODE.

480.
[phone ringing]

THEY PUT AN OFFER
ON A PLACE IN SCOTTSDALE.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK
OR SHOULD I?

I GUESS WE COULD
BOTH TALK.

ALTHOUGH THEY'RE ENGAGED.

AND IF YOU'RE STAYING
IN TOUCH,

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO BUY THEM...

MAYBE IT'S NOT
REPRESSED GUILT.

MAYBE IT'S JUST PANIC.

RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT
ENOUGH FELLOWS

TO BUILD A RAILROAD.

BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO NARROW
THAT ROOM FULL OF NUMBERS

DOWN TO THREE PEOPLE.

ANY CHANCE YOU COULD TURN
THIS CREATIVE BRILLIANCE

TOWARDS MY PATIENT'S LIVER?

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA
CHOOSE PEOPLE

FOR REASONS THAT HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR SKILLS.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO CHOOSE PEOPLE

JUST BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T STAND THEM.

BECAUSE IF YOU LIKE THEM,

WELL, THAT'S JUST...

STRESSFUL.

STRESS.

I LIKE IT.

WE NEED TO STRESS
THE PATIENT'S LIVER.

YOU MEAN MAKE HER SICK?

I MEAN MAKE HER SICK
IN A SPECIFIC WAY.

IF HER LIVER'S GIVEN
TO MALFUNCTIONING,

WE MAKE IT MALFUNCTION.

ARE WE ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF WRONG HERE?

DON'T WE HAVE
AN ETHICS BOARD

THAT WE SHOULD CONSULT?

I FIRED YOU.

NO, YOU DIDN'T.

HE FIRED YOU.
YOU'RE #6.

NO, I'M NOT.
I'M #9.

I APPROVE
OF YOUR SHAMELESSNESS.

YOU'RE STILL FIRED.

HOW DO WE STRESS
HER LIVER?

LYING AND PAPERWORK, I GET.

SHUTTING DOWN ORGANS--

(13)
WE COULD GIVE HER
INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN D

AND STICK HER
IN A TANNING BOOTH.

IF SHE GOES INTO A COMA,

WE KNOW
IT'S A METABOLIC PROBLEM.

NICE.

BUT VITAMIN D'S METABOLIZED

BY THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS.

IT WOULDN'T TELL US
WHICH ONE'S SCREWED UP.

(Kutner)
WE COULD GET HER WASTED.

GIVE HER SHOTS
OF TEQUILA.

MEASURE HOW LONG IT TAKES
FOR HER TO PASS OUT.

IF IT'S TOO FAST,

THEN WE KNOW HER LIVER'S
NOT PROCESSING ALCOHOL.

IT'S A SHOT.

I LIKE YOU, #9.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

YOU A MORMON?

YOU'RE WEARING A RING
FROM BRIGHAM YOUNG.

OR DID YOUR FOLKS
JUST DO THE LAWNS?

THE CHURCH HAS A VERY
PROGRESSIVE ATTITUDE

TOWARD RACIAL EQUALITY.

DON'T CARE.

ACTUALLY, I'M THANKING GOD.

YOU'RE THE ONLY
NON-DRINKER WE GOT.

WE NEED A CONTROL GROUP

TO ESTABLISH WHETHER
THE LIVER'S DETERIORATION

IS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE.

GOT A BIG DRINKER,
MEDIUM DRINKER,

NOW I GOT A NO-DRINKER.

JUST DO AN MRI.

YOU REALLY THINK THE GUY
WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH

CARES WHAT YOU PUT
IN YOUR DIGESTIVE TRACT?

HER DREAM SHOULDN'T OUTRANK
MY RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

WHY NOT?
HER DREAM MIGHT COME TRUE.

ALL LIFE IS SACRED, RIGHT?

WE'RE NOT SAVING HER LIFE,

WE'RE DOING
A DIAGNOSTIC TEST.

NOT EVEN A REAL
DIAGNOSTIC TEST.

WELL, THAT FAKE TEST
MIGHT REALLY SAVE HER LIFE.

WOULD YOU PULL AN ASS
OUT OF A PIT ON THE SABBATH?

WOULD YOU OR WOULD YOU NOT
PULL AN ASS OUT OF A PIT

ON THE SABBATH?

FINE. I'LL DO IT.

GOOD.

WHY'D YOU HAVE
TO PICK TEQUILA?

I ASSUME A SINGLE MALT
WOULD'VE WORKED JUST AS WELL.

WASN'T OUR CHOICE.

OKAY.

TWO MINUTES,
THEN ROUND NUMBER FIVE.

SO TELL ME
ABOUT THE MAGIC UNDERWEAR.

[laughs]

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE HERE?

I'M THE BIG DRINKER.

DOING MY PART
FOR SCIENCE.

THE INTERESTING QUESTION

IS WHY YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

ARE SUDDENLY LESS IMPORTANT
THAN HER DREAMS.

YOU'RE REVERSING
YOUR ARGUMENT?

I KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE.

I'M JUST NOT QUITE SURE
WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

WELL, LDS DOESN'T TRY TO DICTATE
EVERY DETAIL OF OUR LIVES.

WHEN A SITUATION
ISN'T CLEAR,

WE'RE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE
OUR OWN DECISIONS.

BUT YOUR JUDGMENT
WAS TO SAY NO.

YOU USED MY JUDGMENT.

YOU MADE A GOOD ARGUMENT.

RATIONAL ARGUMENTS
DON'T USUALLY WORK

ON RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.

OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE
NO RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.

YOU'RE AN ATHEIST.

ONLY ON CHRISTMAS
AND EASTER.

THE REST OF THE TIME,
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER?

WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?

A FINITE,
UNMYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE--

IT'S NOT ABOUT FUN.
IT'S ABOUT THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH IS,
WE'RE HAVING THIS DEBATE

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO FIGURE
SOMETHING OUT ABOUT ME.

WHAT DO YOU GOT
SO FAR?

[Greta gasping for air]

GRETA. GRETA.

SHE CAN'T BREATHE.
WE NEED TO INTUBATE.

[gasping]
NO.

AT LEAST OXYGEN.

[gasping]
NASA WILL NEED TO KNOW WHY.

I CHECKED THE TESTS
YOU ORDERED.

DID YOU JUST SEE FOREMAN?

YOU MEASURED THE DENSITY
OF HER TEETH.

IT'S A SHORTCUT TEST
FOR HYPERCALCEMIA.

YOU HAD
TO HAVE JUST PASSED HIM.

SO YOU SUSPECTED
HYPERCALCEMIA

FROM HER COMPLETE LACK
OF BROKEN BONES.

IS THAT WHY YOU ALSO
RAN THREE TOX SCREENS.

PATIENT MIGHT'VE BEEN
SNEAKING UPPERS.

HE WAS IN A WHITE COAT.
DID YOU HIRE HIM BACK?

FOREMAN IS RUNNING
THE DIAGNOSTIC DEPARTMENT

AT NEW YORK MERCY.

[sniffs]

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?

[Greta gasping]

SHE WAS HAVING TROUBLE
BREATHING.

REFUSED OXYGEN
AND INTUBATION.

SO YOU PUT HER
ON A TREADMILL.

RECORDS WILL SHOW
THAT WE GAVE HER OXYGEN

AS A PART OF A ROUTINE
CARDIO STRESS TEST.

SHE GETS TO BREATHE.
YOUR BOSS GETS HER PAPERWORK.

WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?

IT WAS A JOINT
DECISION.

IT NEVER IS.

SO HOW OLD WERE YOU
WHEN YOUR BROTHER LEFT HOME?

WHY DO YOU THINK--

WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?

DID YOUR MOTHER
INITIATE THE DIVORCE?

WE SHOULD PROBABLY FOCUS

ON WHAT'S WRONG
WITH HER LUNGS.

ARE YOU A WICCAN?

SHE REALLY CAN'T BREATHE.

OKAY, HOLD STILL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

AUSCULTATORY PERCUSSION.

IF YOU HAVE A GOOD EAR,
YOU CAN...

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
A LOT OF FRIENDS BECAUSE YOU--

YOU CAN HEAR WHILE
YOU'RE TALKING?

YOU CAN DETECT NOT ONLY
STRUCTURAL DETAILS,

BUT SMALL, DEEP MASSES.

[gasping]

GAME'S OVER.

YOU EITHER HAVE LUNG CANCER

OR TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS.

WE NEED TO CUT YOU OPEN
AND BIOPSY.

[gasping]

THAT'LL...

LEAVE A SCAR.

NASA DOCTORS WILL SEE.
THEY'LL KNOW.

I NEVER OPENED FOR SPRINGSTEEN
OR SLEPT WITH BARBARA FELDON.

YOU CAN LIVE FOR YEARS
WITHOUT DREAMS.

WITHOUT LUNGS...

FIND A WAY.

OKAY.

AS LONG YOU KEEP SAYING IT
STRONGLY,

YOU WON'T DIE.

FIND...A WAY.

HOW DO WE FORCE A PATIENT
INTO SURGERY?

TEXAS BAG SCAM?

SARATOGA WIRE?

PARIS EXPOSITION TRIP?

THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE SURGERY.
IT'S THE SCARS.

AND WE HAVE A PLASTIC
SURGEON HERE WHO CAN HIDE 'EM.

NOT THAT WELL.

NASA'S GONNA CHECK
EVERY CRANNY.

I SAY WE JUST PUT ETHER
IN HER OXYGEN

AND DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

SHE'LL SUE.

FOR WHAT?

MAKING IT HARDER FOR HER
TO LIE TO THE GOVERNMENT?

UH, WE DON'T NEED
TO HIDE THEM.

WE GIVE HER ELECTIVE
COSMETIC SURGERY.

THE INCISIONS WILL GIVE US
ACCESS TO HER LUNGS

AND SHE'S GOT AN INNOCENT
EXPLANATION FOR THE SCARS.

YOU MEAN LIKE LIPOSUCTION.

NO, NO. UH, THOSE INCISIONS
ARE TOO FAR FROM THE LUNGS.

WE DON'T SUBTRACT,
WE ADD.

TURN HER "B"s INTO "C"s.

IT'S A MYTH
THAT FAKE HOOTERS BLOW UP

AT HIGH ALTITUDE.

SHE'LL BE FINE.

JUST THINK OF IT
AS ONE GIANT RACK FOR MANKIND.

I FOUGHT FOR YEARS
TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

TRUST ME, YOU'LL BE TAKEN
MORE SERIOUSLY.

JUST SIGN THE FORM.

THIS'LL MAKE ME A JOKE.

THERE'S GOT TO BE
ANOTHER WAY.

I'VE, UH, KNOWN
A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAD DREAMS.

ONE THING THEY ALL HAD
IN COMMON

WAS THEY GOT LAUGHED AT
AND THEY DIDN'T CARE.

YOU BUMPED A SPLENECTOMY
FOR A BOOB JOB?

WOULD YOU CONDEMN
THIS WOMAN TO A LIFE

WHERE PEOPLE LOOK AT HER FACE
WHEN THEY TALK TO HER?

YOU DON'T EXPLAIN THIS,
I'LL CANCEL THE SURGERY.

CAN I EXPLAIN
WHY YOU'RE HERE?

THINK I JUST TOLD YOU
WHY I--

I SCHEDULED
A DIAGNOSTIC PATIENT

FOR A BOOB JOB,

WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.

SO OBVIOUSLY
YOU HAD TO CONFRONT ME.

WITH YOU SO FAR.

BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A REASON.

NOT A GOOD ONE.

NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE
TO A GOOD ONE.

BUT HERE'S THE DRAG
FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

MY EXPLANATION
WILL MAKE SENSE.

NOT TO THE BOARD.
NOT TO A JUDGE.

BUT TO YOU.
SO YOU'LL LET ME DO IT.

THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SIT
NEXT TO ME

AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE
HEARING.

DON'T YOU HAVE
BETTER THINGS TO DO?

IT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF THE PATIENT.

TROCAR'S IN.

YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

DEFLATE THE LUNG.

THERE.

A CYST.

CYSTS.

I COUNT THREE OF THEM.

PROBABLY THE SAME
IF NOT MORE ON THE LEFT LUNG.

OKAY, SO WHAT'S BEEN WORKING
OVERTIME TO KILL

"MISS BIN LADEN"?

WE KNOW HER NAME NOW.

YEAH, BUT I FORGOT IT.

SAY THE MAGIC WORD

AND GET IMMUNITY
FROM THE NEXT CHALLENGE.

ALVEOLAR HYDATID DISEASE.

HITS ALL THE ORGANS.

SHE WOULD'VE HAVE MULTIPLE
SEIZURES BY NOW.

PULMONARY LANGERHANS'.

DOESN'T EXPLAIN
THE RED BLOOD CELLS.

COME ON. CYSTS.
SYNESTHESIA. HEART ATTACK.

YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTEN--

(Chase over intercom)
VON HIPPEL-LINDAU SYNDROME.

RAISES RED BLOOD CELL COUNT.

CAUSES MASSES ON THE ORGANS.

ONE OF THE MASSES
IS A PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA.

IT'D CAUSE NEUROLOGIC
EPISODES AND A HEART ATTACK.

DO YOU SEE A BLOND GUY
WHO STILL HAS PEACH FUZZ

STANDING UP THERE?

THIS IS A CLOSED PROCEDURE.

GALLERY'S OFF LIMITS.

NOT TO THE SURGICAL STAFF.

YOU GONNA HIRE
THAT GUY INSTEAD OF US?

NOT A CHANCE.
I LOVE YOU GUYS.

DIG OUT THE CYSTS,

HISTOLOGY TO CONFIRM
VON HIPPEL-LINDAU.

DON'T FORGET HER CHESTICLES.

CALLING ARIZONA.
IT WAS A VERY NICE TOUCH.

YOU DO HAVE RESIDUAL--

NOT ONLY DO I NOT HAVE
RESIDUAL FEELINGS,

I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
PRIMARY FEELINGS.

- YOU FREAKED--
- YOU LIED.

BECAUSE YOU KNEW
IT MEANT--

IT MEANT NOTHING!

I SAW HIM
'CAUSE HE WAS THERE.

DID CAMERON FOLLOW
HER BESHERT

TO THE SURGERY DEPARTMENT?

I THINK CHASE FOLLOWED HER.

SHE'S BEEN A SENIOR
ATTENDING IN THE E.R.

THE LAST THREE WEEKS.

A BLONDE SENIOR ATTENDING,
TO BE ACCURATE.

FOREMAN.
IS HE BACK IN NEUROLOGY?

HE'S AT NEW YORK MERCY.
HE'S BEEN THERE A MONTH.

DID YOU "SEE" FOREMAN?

NO.

SO I'M CURED.

YOU'RE FINE FOR NOW.

BUT VON HIPPEL-LINDAU
IS A GENETIC DISEASE.

THERE'S NO CURE.

GRETA, YOU NEED
TO COME CLEAN TO NASA.

YOU SAID YOU GOT
ALL THE CYSTS.

THEY COULD REEMERGE.

I'LL GO TO RADIOLOGY CLINICS.

I'LL GET REGULAR SCREENINGS.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENED
WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE,

- YOU'D BE PLAYING
RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH--
- RELAX.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO TELL.
NEITHER DO YOU.

TURNS OUT THAT NASA DOCTORS

EVEN KNOW WHERE THE HYPHEN
IN VON HIPPEL-LINDAU GOES.

YOU CALLED THEM?

I'M NOT AN IDIOT.

THOSE SHUTTLES
FLY OVER NEW JERSEY.

SO HERE WE ARE.
THE BIG MOMENT.

WHICH OF YOU GETS TO LIVE
TO BE ABUSED ANOTHER DAY.

AND WHICH OF YOU GOES HOME
AND RATIONALIZES BEING FIRED

AS CHARACTER BUILDING?

AH.

FOLLOWING NUMBERS,
THANKS FOR PLAYING.

21, 19, 8,

34, 17,

29, 5,

36, 2.

REST OF YOU, 8:00 A.M. SHARP.

I'LL BE IN SOMETIME BETWEEN
10:00 AND 3:00.

BUT 26, STICK AROUND
AWHILE.

I DID NOTHING WRONG.

LOTS OF PEOPLE
DID NOTHING WRONG.

OTHER PEOPLE SCREWED UP.
I NEVER EVEN--

OTHER PEOPLE
TOOK CHANCES.

26.

BUDDY EBSEN ACTUALLY
WAS ALLERGIC TO--

YEAH, I KNOW.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

21.

YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S RELEVANT.

I'LL LIKELY HAVE LESS TIME
TO USE THE SKILLS YOU TEACH US,

BUT I DON'T THINK
THAT'S SIGNIFICANT TO YOU.

HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU
NEVER WENT TO MEDICAL SCHOOL,

WHICH IS WHY YOU LET
THE UNLUCKY NUMBER

DO THE TRANS ECHO?

AT LEAST YOU'RE ETHICALLY
UNETHICAL.

30 YEARS I WORKED
IN THE COLUMBIA MED SCHOOL

ADMISSIONS OFFICE.

AUDITED ALL THE CLASSES.

MOST OF THEM
MORE THAN ONCE.

I JUST NEVER GOT
A DIPLOMA.

YOU HAD TO KNOW
I'D FIND OUT SOONER OR LATER.

I KNOW YOU BREAK RULES.

I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU'D BREAK ONE FOR ME.

[exhales]

I CAN'T HIRE YOU
AS A DOCTOR,

BUT YOU CAN STILL TELL ME
WHAT YOU THINK.

YOU CAN ALSO FETCH ME COFFEE,

PICK UP MY DRY-CLEANING,

UNTIL I CAN DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP YOU.

SO I'M PLAYING THIS WHOLE GAME
TO BE LIKE...

YOUR SECRETARY?

ASSISTANT SOUNDS
MARGINALLY LESS DEMEANING.

IT'S NOT MY DREAM JOB.

ACTUALLY, IT IS.
IT'S JUST NOT YOUR DREAM TITLE.

THREE WEEKS.

FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER
MISSES SOMETHING SMALL,

YOU MISSED SOMETHING BIG.

YOU'RE AN IDIOT.

THE HAIR, WHERE I'M WORKING,
OR BOTH?

THE HAIR MAKES YOU LOOK
LIKE A HOOKER.

I LIKE IT.

PULLING PIECES OF WINDSHIELD
OUT OF CAR ACCIDENT VICTIMS.

REATTACHING FINGERTIPS
SLICED OFF CUTTING BAGELS.

AT LEAST CHASE'S MOVE
IS ONLY ONE STEP DOWN.

I CAN DO GOOD HERE.
GET IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM.

WHY'D YOU RAT YOUR PATIENT
OUT TO NASA?

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S
BEEN GOSSIPING ABOUT ETHICS

INSTEAD OF SEX,

BUT I HOPE
THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN FIRED.

WHICH NUMBER WAS IT?

GRETA.

NUMBER.
NO NUMBER. THE PATIENT.

HOW DO YOU THINK
SHE GOT YOUR PAGER NUMBER?

SHE CAME INTO THE E.R.,
DIDN'T WANT TO TALK.

I DIDN'T RAT HER OUT.

YOU LIED?

SUPPOSE I SHOULD TELL HER THAT
BEFORE SHE KEYS MY CAR.

WHY LIE?

HAD TO STOP
SOME LEAKING FAUCETS.

WHAT DID IT MATTER?

IT WAS NO ONE'S BUSINESS.

RIGHT.

SHE'S GONNA BE
THE SAFEST ASTRONAUT UP THERE.

CERTAINLY MORE VIGILANT
THAN THE GUY NEXT TO HER

WHO'S GOT NO CLUE
ABOUT THE ANEURYSM IN HIS HEAD

READY TO POP.

RIGHT.

YOU GOT A BETTER REASON?

YOU COULDN'T KILL
HER DREAM.

THAT'S SOME BAD HAT, HARRY.
