All language subtitles for House.S05E16.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU

I want to reassure you,

your child can have
a completely normal life.

How can a baby have
male and female DNA?

It's a condition called
genetic mosaicism.

The ambiguous genitalia
can be surgically repaired.

Repaired?

Made to look more... typical.

More typical?

But you haven't even told us
if the baby's a boy or a girl.

That's...

that's a choice you have to make.

Nice job, Jackson!

Take it.

He had the shot.
He lost his nerve.

Honey, it's okay.
He's doing great.

Three.

No fear that time.

Melanie.

Oh, my God.

Jackson!

Black heels or the boots?

You know I'm a fan of those heels.

Boots it is.

For all we know, House knows
you're a fan of those heels.

You think House is gonna figure out

we faked our break-up
because of your shoes?

Go with the boots.

- Gonna eat that?
- Have at it.

Did you just ask my permission
before you took my food?

Yes, we can.

Adolescent genetic mosaicism.
Collapsed during a basketball game.

Presenting with persistent
pelvic pain.

Fun.

The parents haven't told their son
that he could've been their daughter.

They want assurance
that you won't either.

Less fun, but still.

That was easy.

Our new patient.

Part girl,

part boy.

All 13's dream date.

Severe pelvic pain
started during a basketball game.

- Could be dehydration.
- ER gave him fluids when he came in.

Still it feels chronic.

We've got a kid
who could mate with himself,

we think he didn't have enough to drink?
There are dozens of intersex disorders.

Persistent pelvic pain could mean
congenital adrenal hyperplasia,

PMDS...

Those conditions occur in intersex kids
who are chromosomally XX or XY.

Not XX and XY.

Parents recently started him
on testosterone.

- Maybe there's some...
- Vitamins wouldn't cause pelvic pain.

There's a note in here.
We're supposed to refer

to his testosterone shots
as vitamins.

His parents aren't just liars.
They want us to be liars too.

I won't do it.

You guys will, though.

He's a kid. Parents don't think
he's ready to deal with it.

My dad was the same way about me
maybe having Huntington's.

Well, that was your experience.

It should surely apply
in this situation.

Pain could be caused
by a blind uterus hidden in his abdomen.

- He needs an MRI.
- Right.

Boy with girl genes.

I'm sure you're the first doctor
brilliant enough

to check for a uterus.

He could have complications
from the surgeries on his penis.

- That can cause pelvic pain.
- Way to multi-task.

Impress your boss
and humiliate your Ex.

MRI is a waste of time.

To continue the humiliation,
you'll put a camera up his penis.

You're Dr. House, aren't you?

What do you think's wrong
with our son?

These people were just coming
to tell you.

This is better.

Don't have to worry
about them losing their way.

We think that he has a blind uterus.

He should have an MRI.

Did you send 'em a text?

Over the past 13 years,

we've educated ourselves.

Who needs med school
when you got Wi-Fi?

Let's schedule their son
for an MRI with contrast right away.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

You said an MRI was a waste of time.

So is arguing with them.

Contrast's in.

Jackson, we're gonna get started,
so try to lie still.

How long do you think

the post-break-up awkwardness
is gonna last?

Foreman and I are both
professionals.

Stomach and liver are clear.

If by professional you mean, he's a
T-1000 build by cyberdyne systems.

I never understood what
you saw in him.

He's not really your type?

Moving down through
the pelvic floor.

Here's my impression of Foreman
on the happiest day of his life.

Now the saddest day of his life.

We just broke up.

I'm not quite ready to mock him yet.

House was a jerk
to split you two up.

But, bottom line,
he did you a favor.

Area around the intestinal tract
is clear.

No blind uterus.

I think there's something wrong
with House.

Who's he making miserable now?

Actually no one.

He okay'd an MRI
just because the parents

wanted to look for a blind uterus.

There was no fighting, no arguing.
He just went along.

- It's a valid medical theory.
- He doesn't think it is.

House decided to humor
these parents.

Maybe he had a great cup of coffee.

Or a tremendous bowel movement.

Bottom line is your boss
is in a good mood.

Stop analyzing it and just enjoy it.

We're gonna use this scope
to fill your bladder with saline.

Then examine your urethra
for any narrow spots.

Why would there be a narrow spot?

Sometimes it just happens.

- Can my parents come in?
- Sure.

I thought it'd be awkward
for you having them here.

I have this feeling
they've seen me naked before.

Now take a breath.
Just try to relax.

Mom.

It's okay, honey.
It's okay.

Hey, remember those sprints
they made you run in practice?

Those were so hard.

But you pulled through.

You can do this too.

I'm to the bladder.
Start the saline.

I'm gonna look around
and pull back on the scope.

Feels tight.

That pressure's normal. Just try
to hold on for a few more minutes.

It's not down there.

It's my chest.

Can't breathe.

Can't bre...

Can't breathe.

Is he okay?

Muffled heart sounds.

Jugular's distended.

Pericardial effusion.
We need ten gauge on a syringe.

- What's happening?
- His heart is filling with exudate.

If we don't drain it,
it'll stop beating.

We drained the fluid
from his pericardial space.

- His heart rate is back to normal.
- Pelvis plus heart.

Doesn't fit with any of the syndromes
associated with mosaicism.

Could be drugs, toxins,
an infection.

- You're okay with this?
- With what?

That we're considering
a diagnosis unrelated

to this kid being a shemale.

Assuming a coincidence like that
would usually torture you

- but you're completely unfazed.
- Completely unfazed?

You think I'm totally lacking
in any fazing?

The idea that I'm anything less
than half-fazed

I actually find offensive.

It greatly fazes me.

- He started testosterone...
- Vitamins.

A few months ago. That can cause
autoimmune diseases

like polyarteritis and SLE

which can cause pericardial effusion
and pelvic pain.

So it is related.

Now I'm unfazed.

Start him on corticosteroids
for the autoimmune.

Finasteride to block the vitamins.

You slept with House.

He asked permission
before taking my bagel.

Took the case without a fight.

Honored the parents' request
for an MRI.

Yes, those were my terms
for sleeping with him.

He's in a good mood.

Sex with me would explain that.

But it doesn't explain why I'm not
curled up in a ball weeping in shame.

I did not have sex with House.

If you two aren't keeping
something from me,

that means he's keeping
something from both of us.

- That can't be good.
- Or he's just in a good mood.

This is not a crisis.

Maybe you can get back
some of that money he owes you.

Testosterone blocker?

Does that mean if Jackson

has SLE or whatever
that other thing was,

that he'd had to go off
the hormones?

Probably.

Then Jackson'll stop developing.

He'll never go through puberty.

Maybe this isn't what's wrong
with him.

Maybe the testosterone
didn't cause it.

Yeah, but if it is,
then he'll never be a man.

Did we make the wrong choice?

You'll need to tell him the testosterone
blocker is something else.

Or maybe this is a good opportunity
to tell him the truth.

It might make it simpler.

For all of you.

You want us to tell
a sick adolescent boy

that he's really not
an adolescent boy?

That... doesn't seem simpler to me.

No.

Just...

give him the meds.

So you have pain

in one arm and both your legs.

- Does it hurt right now?
- No.

It's when I, like,
put pressure on them.

See...

it hurts when I do this.

And this.

And this.

What about this?

Did you give House the moron
with the broken finger?

They've been in room two
about ten minutes.

Patient should've been screaming
for another doctor seven minutes ago.

Thanks, Brah.

If I have this IV,
why do I need a shot too?

Just some extra medicine.

Just to be safe.

I hear you're quite
the basketball player.

- What position?
- Point guard.

Small forward.

How's your crossover dribble?

It's okay.

Not really that into basketball.

Gonna feel a little pinch, okay?

So if you're not that into it,
why did you join the team?

My mom kind of made me do it.

My parents were the same way.

Always pushing me to try new things.

It's more like what
she didn't want me to try.

I wanted to take dance.

She flipped out and made me choose
between basketball and hockey.

- What does your dad say?
- He seemed okay with it.

Then he just caved in to my mom.

Your palm is red.

What does that mean?

That we still don't know
what's wrong with you.

You were right.

He is in a good mood.

Bummer it didn't work out
with you and thirteen.

- It happens.
- You guys seemed happy together.

It's probably for the best.
You know, the bisexual thing and all.

- It was never an issue.
- No, it never is.

Until it is.

This is thirteen.
Before you guys got together,

she was hooking up
with a different girl every night.

Long term, you really think
you could compete with that?

Wake up. We have to talk.

Stop pretending to be asleep.
We're not leaving.

What's going on?

- He's not breathing. No breathing.
- Can you get a pulse?

- Barely.
- Call a code.

Get an ambu bag.from the nurse's station.

Heart still working means
synapses are still firing.

We just need to get
a message through.

You stopped breathing.

What the hell is going on?

I think my penis stopped breathing.

- Do you know CPR?
- Looks like your brain is okay.

Pupils are equal, round,
and reactive.

I'm fine.

Other than the fact
that my nurple is now purple.

No wonder you broke up with him.
I'm surprised yours are still attached.

By the way,
I could see that from here.

I assume those are
our patient's lab results.

The patient. He can wait.
You could've died.

The only reason you'd ignore
a near-death experience

is you don't care
or you already know why it happened.

It's called vicodin.
I took too many.

Can I please get some information
about our patient?

Patient's palms are red. Lab tests
confirmed liver and kidney dysfunction.

I don't remember you taking
any vicodin today.

I don't remember hiring my mother.

What causes the enzymes

in little Boy George's
existing heart problem and pelvic pain?

You didn't take any yesterday
at breakfast either.

I don't remember eating
having breakfast with my mother.

- Amyloidosis with systemic involvement.
- Protein levels are normal.

This kid's depressed. If he's
self-medicating with drugs and alcohol,

- that'd explain his symptoms.
- Search the school. Search the home.

- Seriously? Or are you just deflecting?
- Both.

- Where are you going?
- Nowhere.

I'm staying right here.
So we can properly discuss this.

He's on heroin.

- How can you...
- Number 1:

he's happy, which means he's high.
Number 2:

when he moved his bad leg,
he didn't use his hands to support it.

Whatever he's taking,
it's stronger than vicodin.

What are we gonna do?

You really think House
took too many vicodin?

Guy pops 'em like candy.
I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.

You miss sleeping with women?

- Excuse me?
- Simple question.

It's a simple answer.

I'll... check under the bed.

I also miss sleeping with other men.

And I'm sure you miss sleeping
with other women.

Monogamy is like saying

you're never gonna have any other
ice cream flavor besides rocky road.

So you're saying

if you don't have pink bubblegum
for a while,

that one day you're gonna
chase down the ice cream truck?

Rocky road is great.

It's a very delicious
and complicated flavor.

I also know that if I have
other flavors,

then rocky road is gonna be left
in the freezer where anyone can dip in.

Can we please drop the metaphor?

Why is this coming up now?

Kutner said the silver lining
of our break-up was

I wouldn't be dumped for a girl.

There's nothing in here either.
Seems like you're wrong about this kid

- having drug or alcohol...
- When did he bring that up?

Earlier today.

- Right before...
- This morning Taub called you a robot.

Either it's a big coincidence or...

they're jerking us around.

- They know.
- And if they know,

House knows.

This is bad.

This is good.

House only has two ways
to handle us still going out.

He jerks us around or he fires us.
He chose option "a".

This is good.

But this is bad.

"I stand alone, my soul and me,

"beneath the mask
that others... see."

His chest is still rising.
He's just screwing with me

'cause Cuddy made me babysit.

"A pain that tears and bites
and will not bend.

"Only when I sleep will it end."

Downer.

And medically irrelevant...

you sure his chest is moving?

If he's faking, you think he's gonna
come clean 'cause you said his name?

Back off.

Only thirteen gets
to grab my nipples this time.

You know, recreating the moment
when you made us

crap our pants isn't actually
all that funny.

That is sweet that
you're worried about House.

Unless the next stanza reads

"Hoping to fry my brain to death,

"I smoked some primo crystal meth",

I'm not interested.

You can't deny that this kid
may be suicidal.

We're not here to make him happy.
We're here to diagnose him.

It's an infection.

Swab of the kid's water bottle
turned up toxoplasmosis.

I'll start him on pyrimethamine.

I had no idea he felt this way.

Is there a therapist here
that you can recommend?

It might help more
if you talked to him.

He's not ready.

If telling him the truth would help him
stop feeling like this...

if I knew that it would make him
less confused, I'd tell him right now.

But if she's wrong,
we'd only make things worse.

He obviously senses he's different.

He's looking for answers.

Every teenager feels different.

He's sick.

This isn't the time
to spring this on him.

When you give Jackson
the antibiotics,

will you please restart
the testosterone?

Sure.

I get House wanting to jerk
me and 13 around, but you guys?

Told you they were still together.

How do you know?

Noticed you smell like
13's soap every morning.

- You figured it out?
- Yes, I'm a little slow.

Maybe someone should let me know
when I should be insulted.

Then House doesn't know.

Probably does now that you felt her up
during that last differential.

You noticed this but House didn't?

Yes, I get it.
He's generally smarter than me.

- Can we move on?
- He's not generally smarter than you.

He's always smarter than you.

Unless...

House is on heroin.

Well, that's certainly
an... interesting notion.

It's why his lungs stopped.
It's why he okay'd the mri.

It's why he missed...
things he wouldn't ordinarily miss.

We'll run some tests,

- I'll let you know.
- He's there, isn't he?

That would certainly explain
the inappropriate responses.

I gotta go.

Sorry.
A consult.

- When did you order these?
- When you were in the bathroom.

I thought a celebration
was in order.

To cheating death.

You off bourbon?
We can get you something else.

I came here expecting a burger.

Figured I'd have to endure
a little lecture on moderation.

- You never listen, so why...
- Instead, I get a drink.

Nice little serving
of respiratory depressant

on the day that my lungs
stopped working.

You seem fine now.

You don't believe
that I od'd on vicodin.

You figure I'm on something
stronger.

And because you can never, ever assume anything
but the most screwed-up scenarios,

- as far as I'm concerned...
- Funny how I'm usually right.

You think that I'm on heroin.

This is your version
of a tox screen.

Because if I am on heroin,

I can't drink that without risking
another bout of not breathing.

Well?

Good night.

Another shot?

I'm afraid so.

That looks like the vitamins
my parents give me. Same red top.

These aren't vitamins.

What is it?

I can't tell you that.

You should ask your parents.

You idiot!

Okay, I admit it.

I have bulimia.

- I look good though, don't I?
- Heroin.

House, of all the stupid...

I'm not on heroin.

I just caught you with
your fingers down your throat.

I'm on methadone.

Stupid product.

Heroin without the high.

Yeah, and twice the risk of death.

But no risk of arrest.

You nearly died.

- Today was a fluke. I nodded off.
- Right.

You're safe as long
as you never sleep again.

Mistime your dose, you die.
Couple of drinks, you die.

Mix it with the wrong drugs,
you die.

You want to detox from vicodin?
Pick something that won't kill you.

I'm not detoxing.

If you're looking for something
to help with your pain...

Doesn't help my pain.

It eliminates it.

My leg doesn't hurt anymore.

She completely disregarded
our instructions.

He asked a question.
I was tired of lying.

I didn't tell him anything
about his genetic condition.

I want her removed
from our son's case.

I'm sorry for the position
Dr. Hadley put you in,

but I can't do that.

She's a valuable part of Dr. House's
diagnostic team.

If he stays on the case,
so does she.

We have to deal with Jackson.

- These questions aren't gonna go away.
- He's not ready for this.

Let's hope you're wrong.

I'm sorry. I'll stay away
from their son.

No, you won't.

In about 15 mn, you're the only person
that kid's gonna trust.

If he needs a hand to hold,
make sure yours is available.

So what?

Am I a boy or a girl?

Some of your cells are male...

and some are female.

So basically I'm a freak.

No, no, buddy.

You're just a little different.

You've known this...

since I was born.

And you never told me.

- We didn't want you to be confused.
- So you lied to me.

Oh, please, sweetie,
we were just trying to protect you.

Don't.

Just leave me alone.

Get out.

Let's go.

You still breathing in there?

'cause if not,
I'm sending in janitorial.

I'm not breathing.
But it's strictly voluntary.

Should've seen the guy
who was in here before me.

I know about the methadone.

It's legal.

I have a prescription.

Whatever doctor you conned
into writing it

clearly had no idea
about your addiction issues.

- Your lack of...
- He knows I'm in pain.

What I put in my body
is my business.

You keep taking this, you could die.

If you'd said that if I keep doing this
you could die,

then it'd be your business.

I can't sit by and watch you
kill yourself.

As long as you're in my hospital,
you can't do methadone.

I'll send someone for my stuff.

That's it?

You're quitting?

You're choosing methadone
over this job?

I'm choosing lack of pain
over this job.

Eventually you have to talk
to your parents again.

No, I don't.

I have this one friend.

He's on my basketball team.
Will.

We hang out a lot.

I really like him.
Now I'm worried that I...

You know, like him.

Maybe I'm supposed to.

Because if I'm really a girl...

Do you feel like a girl?

I like dancing more than basketball.

Is that what that means?

Jackson...

As hard as it is right now,

At least it's out in the open.

You don't have to hide...

behind a mask.

I found the poem you wrote
in your room.

No matter how bad things get,

killing yourself
is never the answer.

This was an english assignment.

We were supposed to write
a poem in the style of Sylvia Plath.

You don't feel this way?

I'm sad sometimes.

I don't want to die.

At least, I didn't.

Are these antibiotics
supposed to make you nauseous?

Yeah, they can.

- We're on our own.
- Is he okay?

He's fine.
He's just not here.

Did he quit?
Did she suspend him?

She didn't say. She just told me I
was in charge until further notice.

So if we add bloody vomit
to our patient's list of symptoms.

Surgeon reports the bleeding
was caused by a gastric fistula

- caused by necrotizing pancreatitis.
- She must've told you something.

Nothing that would help us
with this patient.

Heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.

Obviously whatever this kid's got
is something systemic.

Zollinger-Ellison?

Or systemic scleroderma.

Zollinger-ellison fits better.

- Why?
- Can we at least call house?

We can. I have.
He's not answering.

Put the patient
on proton pump inhibitors.

He gets better, it's Zollinger-Ellison.
If not, it's scleroderma.

Zollinger-Ellison
doesn't fit better.

You don't want it to be scleroderma
because that means he's gonna die.

Patients die all the time.

Not the ones whose family
you've ruined.

I don't think that.

You do.

It's not your fault.

He was no more confused
than any other teenager.

Then I started a fire
and threw gas on it.

You were trying to help.

Hi, is House here?

He's getting dressed.

I'll be back around 10:00 tonight.

Go on in.

Okay.

- who was she?
- I hired her to watch me sleep.

Make sure I don't stop breathing.

Home nurses usually wear scrubs.

She's not a nurse.

You hired a hooker
to watch you sleep?

That just can't...

Surprisingly, hookers are cheaper.

And they don't sue
for sexual harassment.

Which one?

You shaved.

The red one then.

You have two ties?

Meeting at St. Sebastian's today.

Gonna try and talk 'em into starting
up a diagnostics department.

Sounds great.

I just came by to check up on you.

See how you were doing.

I'm fine.

I guess you are.

He hasn't responded
to the medication at all?

I'm afraid not.

So...

That means he's got the other thing?

I'm so sorry.

We'll start him
on anti-inflammatories.

If we're lucky, that will slow down
the progression.

My son has a death sentence
and I can't go in there

and be with him because of you.

I'm sorry.

You find a homework assignment
and decide he's suicidal.

Make it your own personal mission.

- I let my feelings...
- Oh, don't you dare apologize.

Like it could absolve you
of what you've done to me,

my family.

He was fine.

I understand why you're angry.

But this isn't where
you belong right now.

He won't let us in the room.

He's a teenager.
You're his mother.

This is not the time
to start listening to him.

Go be with him.

Thank you.

I didn't do it for you.

We made a mistake.

No, we didn't.

- The methadone's good for him.
- The methadone is gonna kill him.

He shaved.
He was wearing a tie.

He has a meeting at St. Sebastian.

If he buys a new pair of shoes,
should we let him smoke crack?

Cuddy, he's happy.

House doesn't do happy.

Pain or no pain.

Okay, maybe...

But he's our friend.

And this is his one chance

to not be miserable.

The heels. Very nice.

No reason not to wear them
now that house is gone.

You okay?

Yeah. Just tired.

Got some good news.

Patient's scleroderma is responding
to the anti-inflammatory meds.

His ast level's dropped a bit.

So he's dying slightly
less quickly than we thought.

That's great news.

I'm not okay.

Next time just say that.

What's his ast?

185, I think.

That's a pretty fast drop. Are we sure
it's from the anti-inflammatories?

What else could it be from? He's been
off the antibiotics for a while.

- Proton pump inhibitor...
- He's back on testosterone.

- Testosterone wouldn't help his liver.
- It could improve his kidney function

which would also lower his ast.

But not in kidneys damaged
by scleroderma.

Which means it's not scleroderma.

I have an interview in two hours.

Hand over my letter
of recommendation.

Sorry, I haven't done it yet.

- You have no right to sabotage...
- I was busy with this.

It's a list of requirements
for your methadone treatment.

Weekly drug tests.

Supervised doses

administered on a precise
schedule by me

or one of the nurses.

Seems weird getting my meds here
when I'm working somewhere else.

Yes.

I'm offering you your job back.

I want a raise.

No.

And a bigger office...
but in the same spot.

No.

We both know this is where
you belong.

Okay.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You okay?

I have issues with authority.
You?

We thought you were gone.

Cuddy missed me.

And what happened to your cane?

She asked to borrow it
for some reason.

Patient dead?

Or do I need to do anything?

- He's got scleroderma.
- It's not scleroderma.

Two days,

And you've already got
two separate theories.

You're back. Good.

We noticed a drop in ast levels.
It's not the anti-inflammatory...

It's because his kidneys got
better from the testosterone.

Which rules out scleroderma.

When did you two come up with this?

We ran into each other in the lobby.

What did we miss?

When I say "we" I mean "you,"
since I wasn't here.

We've ruled out Zollinger-Ellison.

- That was a dumb idea.
- Why?

- Because it was wrong.
- Also toxoplasmosis,

dehydration, SLE,
various intersex disorders.

Oh, crap.

This kid like energy drinks?

I saw some empty bottles
in the team locker room.

But energy drinks don't explain...

- Nice work.
- So... we're okay?

Why wouldn't we be?

Nice heels.

This is all your parents' fault.

Excuse me?

Chug a lot of energy drinks
before, during, and after practice?

Your son came in here
with simple dehydration.

That's why he collapsed
during the game.

The ER treated him for that.
It didn't help the pain.

That's where the energy drinks
came in.

They put a strain on his kidneys
so he needed more time to rebound

- From the initial dehydration.
- Then why isn't he better?

That's where your idiocy came in.

Before we could give him
another glass of water,

You two insisted I do an MRI.

So I go down a blind alley

looking for a blind uterus.

And my team injects him
with contrast material.

If his kidneys had been healthy,
they would've filtered out the contrast

in a couple hours.
Since they weren't,

they went around and around.
Eventually getting absorbed

by his heart, his liver,
and his pancreas,

getting in trouble
everywhere it went.

Your son was fine when he got here.

It was your...

freaked-out overprotectiveness
that nearly killed him.

Nearly?

He's young.

A few weeks of dialysis,
he should be fine.

You gave birth to a freak of nature.

Doesn't mean it's a good idea
to treat him like one.

How you feeling?

A little bit better.

I saw you talking
to your parents earlier.

That's good.

My mom asked if I wanted
to take dance lessons.

That's great.

I'm actually worried
I might miss basketball.

Starting to get good.

No reason you can't do both.

Starting tomorrow, you'll come
to my office for your fix.

I'm done with the methadone.

I screwed up.

The kids' parents wanted that mri.

I knew he didn't need it.

I did it anyway.

That's what got him sick.

You just solved a case
that no one else could solve.

I created a case.

I played nice because
I was in a good mood

because I didn't hurt.

You don't need your pain
to be a good doctor.

- I'm not interested in good.
- you're afraid to be happy.

Why do you care if I'm happy?

You're afraid of change.

The one thing you have
is your intellect.

You think if that's compromised,
you have nothing.

Just take it.

No.

Don't do this.

It's already done.

This is the only me you get.
