It's all about
the tongue, man.

You stick it
in their mouth.

[muffled]
But not all the way.

They like that?

Dude, they love it.

What are you doing?

Climbing.

Just deep enough
to lick her teeth.

Slow, one at a time.

Like you're painting them.

This girl Rachel,

she's a junior.

She's experienced.

Mom says I gotta be home
by 5:00.

Just chill, okay,
and hop the fence

before someone sees you.

Are you sure this is okay?

Dave's mom's a realtor.

If it's for sale and empty,
it's a clubhouse.

And if you say anything,

you're dead.

I told them you were cool.

These are
very serious dudes.

Come on.

Cub Scout meeting's
down the street, boys.

What a loser.

Gabe's cool, man.

He's one of us.

Better be.

I'm not thirsty.

What's this?

Club business, little man.

What should we ask?

Put your hands on.

O dark spirit.

Will any of us die
in the year to come?

You're moving it.

Put your hands back.

Now.

Who among us will die?

"G."

"A."

Oh, man.

"B."

"E."

Gabe.

That blows.

[coughing]

That's it.
We're going to the hospital.

No, Mom, I'm too tired.

Come on, sweetie,
you've had a fever

for almost a week now.

[coughs]

Oh!

Oh, my God.

Gabe.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Baby, what's wrong?

[panting]

I'm dying.

[new age music]

*

[coughing]

(Cuddy)
12-year-old male,
spiking fever.

Congested chest,
coughing up green sputum,

pain in breathing--

Baffling.

Though, I vaguely recall

a disease called "moo-nomia"--
"new-mania."

But his chest X-ray and CT scan

show an atypical pattern
for pneumonia.

Pneumonia, that's it.

Just a guess here:

His parents, big donors?

No infiltrate.
Just enlarged hilar lymph nodes.

Tiny unicorns
goring his bronchial tubes

would be cooler.

And the way you're ignoring
the question--

wow, they're extremely
big donors.

He's not responding
to cefuroxime.

His pulse ox
is dropping much faster

than it should for pneumonia.

And plus, he's got
an odd little rash.

Excessive irritation.
He's 12, he's on auto-stroke.

On his arm.

Papular lesion.

One centimeter

on top of a long, thin scab.

Ah, you need
a dermatologist.

If it's dry, keep it wet.

If it's wet, keep it dry.

If it's not supposed
to be there, cut it off.

I never could master all that.

There you are.

Were you scared?

It's okay, you're home now.

Fine.

Cuddy?

As a special favor to you--

No. Admit it,
I got you with the rash.

The rash is a total snooze.

Unless it's connected
to the pneumonia.

Then it's party time.

Purulent sputum, dyspnea,
rhonchi bilaterally.

What kind of pneumonia causes
this kind of rash?

Legionnaire's Disease.

Usually means
industrial ventilation systems,

convention centers,
he's 12 years old.

Send off a urine antigen

and check if he's joined
the Elks.

Next?
Fungal.

Excellent.
Maybe the lodge went spelunking.

Chlamydia pneumonia.

12-year-olds don't have sex.

Their mistake.

That's it?

Other possibilities?

What if we're thinking
about this backwards?

The rash came first,
caused the pneumonia.

Nice.

Rickettsial, tick bite.

Nymphal ticks are out now.

They're bloodthirsty
little bastards.

Rash would be more pustular.

Not always, and there's only
one rash which fits.

New Jersey, it's most likely
Lyme disease.
(House)
All right.

Let's keep him on fluids
and the cefuroxime to be safe.

Biopsy that rash.

And take another history.

Even if we don't learn
what's causing this,

we definitely need to know

whether 12-years-olds
are getting any action.

What are you doing now?

We're collecting fluids
from the rash.

Why?

They know what they're doing,
Jeffrey.
Oh.

Great endorsement
coming from the woman

who thought it was
a nasty cold.

If I'd had him last week,

and he--
This isn't helping.

(Cameron)
We're checking to see

if your son has a tick bite.

Gabe, have you
been camping recently?

Playing sports outside?
Anything like that?

I'm not that good at sports.

No hanging out anywhere new?

Strange places?
(Jeffrey)
We've been through this.

We don't let him run wild
through the neighborhood, right?

Okay.
This might be a bit delicate.

We need to know
if you're sexually active.

I beg your pardon?

Who do you think--
Mr. Reilich--

No.

Nothing like that.

[coughs]

We've gotta get another CT scan.

Check his lungs again.

Third floor, right?

Yeah, radiology is just--

Sorry, medical personnel only.

Where is the machine?

We passed it, actually.

A little tension
in the room back there.

Thought you could use a break.

Your dad's a pretty...

high-powered guy.
Yeah.

He was an Air Force test pilot.

Real Top Gun stuff.

Flew Mach 3.

Hard to deal with sometimes?

I guess I'm more like my mom.

Listen.

I promise
to keep my mouth shut,

but I need to know.

You definitely haven't had
any sexual contact

of any kind.

I wish.

[coughs]
You know what?

Girls like the cool guys now.

But give it a few years,

they start liking
the smart guys.

You'll be all right.

[coughs]

Can you keep a secret?

I have to.

It's my job.

I'm cursed.

I'm not kidding.

This seance thing
the kids did--

spelled out my name.

Said I was gonna die.

First name and last name?

We've got a Gabe upstairs.
He's very old, very sick.

No. It's me.

I have the worst luck.

One time, I broke this mirror.

The next week,
my parents got separated.

My parents split up too.

Every kid feels like
it's his fault.

It never is.

So what about
the rest of the stuff?

Any playing outside
your parents don't know about?

Anything like that?

Maybe you were somewhere
you weren't supposed to be?

Oh, man.

Gabe.

It's important.

(House)
A secret club?

What's the secret?
They're all morons?

He fell on something
in the attic, scraped his arm.

Got the rash the next day.

Said it smelled really moldy
up there.

Fungal pneumonia
without the cave.

Clever.

I'm gonna get a sample.

Dr. Chase.

You have a few moments?

Sorry, I've got to go.

These young doctors.

It's like they don't care
about people.

No manners.

My fault probably.

That's an interesting accent
you have there.

I'd say...

Czech with about
30 years of Aussie.

You have quite an ear.

You're Chase's dad.

Hard to miss.

The big hug
and how happy he was to see you.

Need a consult.

With a patient.

Urgent doctor stuff.

26-year-old male.

Sudden loss
of the ability to speak.

Just because you got out
of clinic duty,

doesn't mean everybody did.

To his father.

Differential diagnosis?

Chase?

Dad swoops in,
Chase swoops out.

Dad say why he was here?

See? You asked.

Dad comes 5,000 miles.

You're more curious
than junior is.

It can't just be
about the divorce.

It's been 15 years and
mom's been dead for 10 of them.

You think Daddy murdered her?

If you want to get
to the bottom of this,

you're doing it exactly right.

Don't talk to
the people involved,

drag your buddy away from work

for some pointless speculation.

If you want to know
how two chemicals interact,

do you ask them?

No, they're gonna lie

through their lying
little chemical teeth.

You throw them in a beaker
and apply heat.

Even I don't like you.

You know, words can hurt.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, guys.

I don't care
that you're up here.

You a cop?

Doctor.
I'm treating Gabe Reilich.

He said he fell over
near some pipes?

Yeah. Over there.

What? Here?

Yeah.

Any of you guys
been feeling sick lately?

Rash, cold?

Anything?

No.
No.

[police radio chatter]

Oh, crap.
[car door slams]

He i a cop.

[groans]

He fell on it.

Some weird kind of insulation.

It's old.
The house was built in the '60s.

What's it made of?

Felt.
Fibers of, what, cotton?

[House chuckles]

Sorry, I'd forgotten
how funny your dad was.

Not as funny as you.

High praise.

I know how protective
kids can be of their parents.

Not cotton.

Animal hair.

Give me the CT scan.

First, find the name
of the company

that made the insulation.

And second, tell me
what I'm seeing

that makes me want
to short their stock.

Uh...

enlarged hilar lymph nodes.

(Cameron)
Peribronchial thickening.

Pleural effusions.

Less obvious, more scary.

Well, the mediastinum
doesn't look right.

Slightly widened.

Oh, God.

It can be transmitted
through infected animal hair.

But the Gram stain
would've shown--
No, the cefuroxime

would've killed some of it,
clouded the result.

We've gotta get this kid
on levaquin.

What does he have?

Anthrax.

Who did this house belong to,
old man Hussein?

Maybe he is cursed.

(Jeffrey)
Anthrax?

So what, you think there were
terrorists in that attic?

It's a naturally occurring
bacteria.

We believe it was
in the insulation.

How sick is he?

Anthrax is very dangerous.

But we've caught it early,
he's on levaquin.

It's the best antibiotic
we have.

Lisa, you buy this?

Jeff, you've helped
our hospital a lot.

I wouldn't have assigned
Dr. House to your case

if I didn't have
every confidence in him.

Then who's this guy?

Jeffrey.

There's all these
weird diseases

that can cause a rash.

What about leishmaniasis
or filariasis?

Where'd you hear about those?

Internet, I did some research.

Well, those are
very rare conditions.

Oh, and anthrax
grows along the interstate?

(Chase)
Leishmaniasis
doesn't cause pneumonia.

And filariasis--

Just look into everything.

This is my son, all right?

And I'm gonna stay on top of you
until I know he's safe.

Wouldn't expect anything else.

Everyone's a doctor.

[monitor beeping rapidly]

[wheezing]
Breathe, baby.
It's okay.

Breathe.
I need you to breathe.

His breathing.
It's on the inhale.

What does that mean?

It means his airway's
closing up.

Is the anthrax doing it?

All right, hold still, Gabe.

This is gonna be
a little uncomfortable.

[wheezing]

We've got you.
It's okay.

Nodules in his throat.

Airways occluded?

We've gotta intubate. Ativan.

(Cuddy)
Pushing three cc's.

[wheezing]

Airway's too tight.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

No, you're killing him!

Jeffrey, let them
do their job!

Airway's too tight.
Need a smaller tube.

We're traching.
Smaller tube.

His lips are cyanotic.

Oh, my God,
he's not breathing.

Foreman, we're traching.

No, I can do it. I'll get it.

Foreman, you're not
getting through.

He's not getting air.

Oh, we have to trach him
right now.

No, I can do it.

(Chase)
Betadine.

I'm doing this.

Got it.

He's okay.

(House)
Allergic reaction

to the antibiotics?

I don't think so.
We switched him to rifampin.

And there was no change
in the swelling.

We should try
another antibiotic.

You really think he's allergic
to two antibiotics?

I want to know
what Dr. Chase thinks.

It's possible
he's allergic to--

Oh, I'm sorry. Not you.

Understandable mistake.
The other Dr. Chase.

(Rowan)
Boy gets Anthrax

who happens to be allergic
to two antibiotics.

Hate to step
on anybody's toes,

but is it possible your guys
got this one wrong?

The rash is classic anthrax.

Except the color.

The rash hasn't
turned black yet.

No necrosis, no anthrax.

(Chase)
Necrosis

can theoretically take
as long as two weeks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Guys.

It's not a competition.

It's a diagnosis.

Okay.

Who thinks junior wins?

Four to one.
It's not anthrax.

So we start over.

What's changed?

What do the nodules tell us?

Sarcoidosis.

Excellent.

Send an ACE level.

If it comes back positive,

put him on methotrexate.

(Chase)
We ran some tests.

The results point
towards sarcoidosis.

Makes the body's tissue
swell up.

It seems to have gone after
Gabriel's skin and lungs,

and given him this fever.

Doctor?

We don't know what causes it.

But you're sure
he has this one.

We have a world-renowned doctor
consulting.

He's convinced
this is sarcoidosis.

Is it treatable?

Very, actually.

See, this is
IV methotrexate.

It's an anti-inflammatory.

It should make
all the swelling go down

and, uh, get you all better.

Stop.

Oh, my God, it's black.

Necrosis.

It's definitely anthrax,

and it definitely
can't be anthrax.

Doesn't cause
throat nodules.

Only explanation

is this kid's got anthrax

and sarcoidosis.

Right.

Two incredibly rare diseases

just happening
to strike at once.

Unless you've got
a better theory.

Anthrax plus
an allergic reaction.

Call The Lancet

because that's one
bizarre allergic reaction.

Come on.

There's no reason
you both can't be wrong.

It's not an allergy, but it's
not coincidence either.

Disease number one
set off disease number two.

Anthrax weakened
his immune system.

(House)
And triggered
a dormant sarcoidosis.

Keep him on antibiotics
for the anthrax

and start the methotrexate
for the sarcoidosis.

See what happens.

Fine.

Better go with him.

Make sure he doesn't snap

and hurt somebody.

(Jeffrey)
But y-you're treating him

for both diseases?

We're covering
all the bases.

What, throw everything against
the wall and see what sticks?

Works for spaghetti.

[clears throat]

[video game beeping]

[knocks on glass]

A-are you being funny?

Apparently not.

You know why I give money
to this hospital?

It's the only way
to get attention.

See this?

Is this a magic trick?

'Cause I am a total
David Copperfield fan.

Although I thought
that Tornado of Fire,

that seemed a little fake--

Pain in the wrist.
It won't go away for months.

Six doctors' brilliant
conclusion is to "take it easy."

I write a check,
name goes on a plaque.

And 48 hours later,
I've got two MRIs,

a bone scan, and a diagnosis.

Carpal tunnel.

I'm in surgery that afternoon.

Fascinating story.

You thought of adapting it
for the stage?

[pager buzzing]
I love my--

Look at me.
I love my son.

I love him more
than anything else in the world.

And you're gonna start paying
attention to this case

or I'm gonna
make things miserable--

Go back to your son's room.

I'm not leaving here until--

There's a problem.

What is it?

I don't know.

(Foreman)
Skin lesions are spreading
all over his body.

They're opening up, and the
fatty tissues are oozing out.

He'll be septic
in a matter of days.

Death by dermatitis.

Where's Robert?

He has clinic duty
this morning.

No, he doesn't.

I rescheduled you guys
so you'd be free--

Yeah, but he
re-rescheduled himself.

It doesn't hurt yet.

(Chase)
Keep going.

You page me?

No, I don't need you.
Oh, come on.

We all need help
now and again.

You're getting
a consult.

Okay, we've got new
skin lesions,

bigger and uglier.

What would cause that?

My hand hurts.

What if his body
worked so hard

attacking the anthrax

that it started
attacking itself?

Autoimmune.

Wouldn't present
this aggressively.

(Cameron)
It's not likely,

but it is possible.

What, in a 12-year-old male?

This isn't about me, is it?

Gabe's dad found leishmaniasis
and filariasis

on the Internet yesterday.

They didn't fit then,

but now they kind of do.

Sure.

Except for the nodules,

and we're not working
out of Calcutta General.

Multiple neurofibromatosis.

You think this is neurological?

The only reason
you're thinking autoimmune

is because you're
a rheumatologist.

If you were a proctologist,

you'd think rectal cancer.

Gotta go with senior.

He literally wrote the book
on this one.

Autoimmune is a big universe.

It could be anything

from scleroderma
to Churg-Strauss.

Whatever it is,
we should start him on steroids.

Keep the swelling down.

A hundred milligrams
of cytoxan.

That treats most autoimmunes.

(House)
Give it to him now

before the fat starts dripping
out his eyeballs.

Hey, my fingers are numb.

Your watch is on too tight.

You're messing with my head.

Your relationship
with your dad

is messing with your ability
to do your job.

Only because you made my dad
part of my job.

Good point.

You hadn't seen him in years,

he flies across the Atlantic
to see you--

Pacific.
You breeze by him

like he's a Hare Krishna
at the airport.

You don't even ask
why he's in town.

There's probably a conference.

Probably.

I was hoping to do this
through sheer manipulation,

but if you insist
on talking, fine, talk.

What did he do to you?

How would you feel
if I interfered

in your personal life?

I'd hate it.

That's why I cleverly
have no personal life.

I'm gonna biopsy
his skin lesions.

Good thinking.
Prove your dad wrong.

It'll solve everything.

Who extubated him?
I did.

Temperature's down two degrees
and the swelling's almost gone.

And his skin
looks better too.

The cytoxan is working.

Feeling better, Gabe?

Yep. A lot.

(Chase)
Dr. Chase, can you and I
have a word?

Your diagnosis is wrong.
No autoimmune disease.

The swelling's probably
just down

because we've got him
on steroids.

It's masking whatever's
really wrong.

ANAs are unreliable.

Phospholipid antibodies
are negative.

So no Lupus.
Same for Churg-Strauss.

You're arguing
with a rheumatologist.

There's about 20 distinct
autoimmune diseases--

Why are you here?

SLE Conference.

You were in New York last year

for the scleroderma
conference.

I didn't hear anything
from you.

Just wanted
to say hi this time.

You said it.
You're still here.

I miss you.

I was 15 years old
when you walked out.

Now you're walking back in?

I left your mother.
I didn't leave you.

Mom was living
on gin and tonics.

How was I supposed
to take care of her?

She wasn't
your responsibility.

I know.

She was yours.

I'm sorry she died.

I'm sorry you had to deal
with that.

But she was falling apart

long before--

I've gotta talk to House
about this treatment.

But the patient's
getting better.

In spite of the cytoxan.

On the other hand,

getting better.

The cytoxan, it makes him
more susceptible to infection.

The anthrax could relapse
and be more resistant.

Better.

You want a negative test

for every autoimmune disease
known to man?

Fine.
I'll get 'em.

Be home by midnight, or you
can't have the car this weekend.

You guys talk?
He tell you why he's here?

The SLE conference.

Going back
to the conference?

Afternoon panel.
I hope I can stay awake.

I hope you can get in.

You're not registered.

I get it.

You had to make up a lie.

Can't just tell your kid
you're here to see him.

What father does that?

That little blue dot
under your collar.

It's a tattoo for guiding
radiation treatment.

I was looking for it after I saw
what you had for breakfast.

Brown rice, vegetables--
macrobiotic diet.

Popular with Hollywood starlets
and cancer patients.

Lungs. Stage four.

You look good.

I'm not.

Came to the States
to go to Sloan-Kettering.

And see Dr. Wilson.

What did he say?

Three months.

But you haven't
told Robert.

You don't want to burden him

because you were
such a lousy dad.

I'd prefer you not tell him.

Yeah. That's better.

I'll get to see his face when
he reads his dad's obituary.

It's not your business.

I suppose it isn't.

You sure do a lot of tests.

If we figure out exactly which
autoimmune condition it is,

we can get you better quicker.

Was that your dad before?

Yeah.

That's so cool.

Do you guys
work together a lot?

Not really.

When can I go home?

We'll see.

Looks like you got
your appetite back.

That's a good sign.

[coughs]
Want some water?

Yes.

Here you go.

Whoops.
It's all right.

Water's cheap.

Oh, God.

What?

I can't--
I can't move my hand.

(Chase)
Squeeze my fingers
for me, Gabe.

(Chase)
He's getting worse.

Now his entire right hand
and forearm are paralyzed.

And his fever's back.
It's up over 105.

If we don't stop
the nerve deterioration quickly,

he'll be paralyzed for life.

Well, luckily, at this rate,

that should only last
about a week.

Okay, so--

I told you we should get him
off the cytoxan.

This is toxic neuropathy.

We've been shoving drugs
into his system

for a disease
he doesn't have.

It could be neurological.

What kind of brain process
would cause

a paralyzed hand, skin lesions,

and swollen throat nodules?

Robert was right.

You said multiple
neurofibromatosis.

Are you saying that

for the chance
at a beautiful family moment,

or is there some medicine
involved?

Mm-mm, fits better.

Too bad.

I was hoping
for the other reason.

I was gonna go get my camera.

Get a CT scan.

His brain this time.

You'd think three copies
would be enough, right?

One's always been
more than enough for me.

Why didn't you tell me that
Rowan Chase was in to see you?

Excuse me.

Ethics. Confidentiality.
Does any of this ring a bell?

You could have covered yourself,
called me in for a consult.

It is a juicy
piece of gossip.

You know what happened?

I got all focused on his cancer,
and lost perspective.

You can't tell Chase,
but I can.

What should I do?

Oh, this is where
I give you advice

and pretend
you're gonna listen to it.

I like this part.

Did Rowan ask you
not to tell?

I promised I wouldn't.

My fingers were crossed, though,
so I'm wide open.

I was wrong, this is
the musing-out-loud part.

Do I actually need to be here?

Telling him, now, that's got
real entertainment value.

Mm, he might even cry.

On the other hand, there is
the "do unto others" thingy.

Well, then I should
definitely tell him.

I'd want to know.

You want to know everything.

There's also the
keeping-your-promises thingy.

Oh, you never run out
of thingies.

Like that blonde thingy
you were chatting up.

She's the hospital accountant.

We were going over
billing procedures.

Double entry bookkeeping?

[elevator dings]

What are you gonna do?

Billing procedures.

They're so complicated,
aren't they?

[coughing]

[beeping]

You know, parents
are never as bad

as kids think they are.

You like my dad so much,
ask him out.

I'd make an excellent stepmom.
I'm very lenient.

He's your father.

You never see him,
and he's here.

Unless he's done
some unspeakable thing,

you should lighten up.

Great.
Thanks for the tip.

Okay.

He beat your mom.

He beat you.

What did he do?
Really.

Don't push it.

All this hate.

It's toxic.

Then stay away.

There's nothing there.

No masses.

No fibrous tangles, nothing.

It's not neurofibromatosis.

Doctors Chase are oh-for-three.

Even when they agree,
they're wrong.

So next.

What else could cause
neural damage

as well as all the nodules?

Burger's disease.

He's never been
out of the country.

(Rowan)
Have his parents?

They could've brought it back.

I don't think so.

Doesn't matter, his lesions
are in the wrong place.

His feet are the one clear spot.

Kid's dad mentioned
leishmaniasis.

Yeah, and filariasis.

But the throat nodules
still don't fit with that.

That's two diseases
pretty much exclusive

to Southeast Asia.

What if the anthrax didn't
set off the second disease?

We're back at coincidence again?

No.

What if something else
was the trigger?

Nothing else happened.

We happened.
Antibiotics?

(Chase)
We've been through this.

It's not an allergy.

I gotta pee.

What did the CT scan tell you?

Nothing.

Ow!

Scale from one to ten,
how painful?

About half as painful
as when I punch you in the face.

Don't do that.
It'll hurt you.

Carpal tunnel surgery
obviously didn't work.

Who are you?

The little ones
call me "Uncle Greg."

Your dad never had
carpal tunnel.

You mentioned
two obscure diseases

to Dr. Chase.

How'd you know about them?

I read about 'em
on the Internet.

So what'd you search for?

Diseases from Asia that don't
match my son's symptoms?

You heard about them in Asia.

I've never been there.

Well, you probably
just forgot.

Let me refresh your memory.

Some remote, dusty village,
close quarters.

At least a year.
Starting to come back?

I'm calling Dr. Cuddy.

Excuse me,
what does this

have to do with our son?

Your dad's pissed off.

He should be.

Comes here expecting us
to do an extra good job

because he gives
a whole lot of money

to this hospital--

Don't talk to my son like that!

Just telling him my job,
my obligations--

Stop!

What's going on?

There's only one thing
you guys have got to do.

Tell the truth.

Or your son will die.

How long were you in Asia?

Jeff, it's a simple question.

Two years. In India.

Why would you lie
about something like that?

It was '87 and '88.

This, uh...

This guru.

I-I thought
he had some answers.

I went to his ashram.

And, uh...

ended up with no money
and no answers.

I was embarrassed,
I didn't want anyone to know.

No.

No, you were a test pilot.

I'm so sorry, Gabe.

What does this
have to do with my son?

(House)
Clue number one:

If I were Jesus,
curing this kid

would be as easy
as turning water into wine.

Demonic possession?

Close.
But no wafer.

Clue number two:

Rheumatology Rowan
was almost right.

It cause autoimmune symptoms.

Leprosy?

Yeah, that's real big
in the Jersey suburbs.

It's leprosy.

Run a FITE stain,
it'll be positive.

Daddy hung out on the wrong kind
of Indian ashram.

But it's obviously
dormant in the dad.

How could the kid catch it?

It's not dormant in the dad.
It's just slow.

Damaged his ulnar nerve,
was misdiagnosed

as carpal tunnel.

Never trust doctors.

Run a FITE stain.

(Rowan)
No wonder he got anthrax.

The leprosy weakened
his immune system.

Vicious circle.

Leprosy made him vulnerable
to the anthrax,

and the anthrax treatment
put the leprosy in overdrive.

But the antibiotics we gave him,
they cure leprosy.

Yeah.

That's where
the trouble starts.

The antibiotics
hit the nerve strands.

They kill the leprosy bacteria.

The corpses get tossed
into the system.

And as fascinating
as our bodies are,

they're also stupid.

Produce antibodies
to beat dead bacteria.

But these aren't
the polite antibodies.

They're the ones
that won't sit still.

Kick during naptime.

They attack his neural
and fat cells,

causing inflammation and
all the rest of his symptoms.

So the cure is killing him.

(House)
I want you to call down

to Carville, Louisiana,
home of the last leper colony

in the lower 48.

Get 'em to send up
some thalidomide.

Thalidomide?

12-years-olds
don't have sex, right?

So he can't be pregnant.

Make the call.

I need to speak to your boy.

Why does everybody
need to know my business?

People like talking
about people.

Makes us feel superior.

Makes us feel in control.

And sometimes, for some people,

knowing some things
makes them care.

I'd tell you my dad left,
my mom drank herself to death.

You gonna care about me more?

Cameron would.

Me, I just like knowing stuff.

[sighs]
I know you hate your dad.

I'm gonna tell you something--

I don't hate him.

I loved him until I figured out

that it hurts a lot less
to just not care.

You don't expect him to turn up
to your football match?

No disappointments.

You don't expect a call
on your birthday,

don't expect
to see him for months?

No disappointments.

You want us to go make up?

Sink a few beers together,
nice family hug?

I've given him enough hugs.

He's given me
enough disappointments.

Okay.

That's it?

That's it.

(Chase)
Breathe.

[exhales]

Breathe again.

[exhales]

Breathe again.

[exhales]

Are you gonna have
to tell my friends I'm a leper?

You had the antibiotics.
You're not contagious anymore.

[exhales]
What if they already caught it?

Leprosy is incredibly
hard to catch.

Even your mom didn't get it.

All right, I want you
to make a fist.

It's still kinda stiff.

It'll get back to normal
in a month of two.

Your skin, two or three weeks.

You haven't asked
about your dad.

He lied about everything.

He lied to my mom.

Lied to his boss.

He's just a liar.

He loves you.

I don't love him.

Yeah, you do.

Nothing you can do about it.

He's your dad.

It doesn't matter what he does,
you're gonna love him.

Here.

Thanks.

(Chase)
Hey.

When's your flight?

Do you have time for a drink?

I wish I did.

(man)
Dr. Chase?

I've got it.

You gonna be getting down to Oz
any time soon?

Not too long.

Next autumn, I hope.

I'll call you.

Well, you're all set.

I'll see ya.

Yeah.

I'll see you.
