Chinese water torture cell
Was invented in 1911 by Harry Houdini.
Nothing like new material.
He was lowered head first into the water.
His ankle was locked and bolted to the top of the tank.
I'm going to need a volunteer.
The guy dislocating his shoulder...
Yeah...
Could you tell the guy next to you to come up?
Come on, get up there, man.
Get up there, get up there! Come on!
- Hi. Have we met before? - No.
See, if you said yes, you could have gone back to your seat.
Now, can you vouch for this audience
That this is a glass tank full of water?
- Yeah. - No, you can't.
You haven't done anything yet. Come on.
Knock on the glass. Solid glass.
Knock on it.
It's real water too.
Ilana, splash the guy.
Does that feel wet to you?
- Yeah. - And you think that proves it's water?
I think we have met.
Do you know the public washroom
Behind the truck stop east of omaha?
No.
See, if you'd said yes, that would have been so funny.
Hold out your arms for me.
You've done this before, right?
No.
Again, two choices, and you went for the unfunny one.
Now, remember, there's only one thing
You've got to be able to do-
Drag a screaming, crying, shackled man
Out of a tank of water.
Up!
Hey, you can swim, right?
Whoa, whoa, tell me you can swim.
Yeah.
Two answers, man.
Two answers!
Is that part of the act?
I'm new. I think so.
Maybe not.
Get up here!
House MD Season 4 Episode 8 "You don't want to know"
Five eager doctors,
And no sick people.
Let us try and fill our spare time
With a new challenge.
The winner gets immunity.
I have a sick guy. I saw this magician last night-
The girl's fine.
He didn't really cut her in half.
His heart stopped
While he was hanging upside down in the water tank.
A drowning man's heart stopped.
That is a mystery.
Along with immunity,
The winner gets to nominate two-
He lost consciousness
Almost as soon as he hit the water.
You have to leave work at 6:00 p. M.,
But you make time for man dates?
What's the challenge?
Are we not allowed to be friends?
No, i'm just hurt.
When i asked you to come see Mama Mia-
No history of heart disease. No angina.
- No- - He's lying.
- About his history? ER confirmed. - About everything. He's a magician.
That's what they do.
He screwed up the trick, he started drowning,
He got a cardiac arrest.
You were talking about a challenge?
The winner nominates...
Two of your competitors.
I will fire one of them.
Even if he was drowning,
It would have taken longer to set off a cardiac incident
Without some underlying problem that-
Fine. Go run your tests.
If you're wrong, you're fired.
If i'm right, do i stay?
If i say no, are you gonna let your patient die?
What's the challenge?
We can all applaud the doctor
Who's willing to break all the rules.
But the real hero is the unsung doctor,
Toiling in anonymity,
'Cause he broke the rules without getting caught.
I need to know you have these skills.
I need you...
To bring me the thong of lisa cuddy.
Not kidding.
Thong. Cuddy. Go.
It's how i got hired.
You're actually considering this?
If you want to stand on principle,
I really respect you for that.
It's childish, unprofessional, and inappropriate.
The job is not worth it.
We should all beg off.
Tell him we failed. No winners, no losers.
Fine.
You're gonna do it, aren't you?
Of course i'm gonna do it.
No valvular regurgitation,
No wall motion abnorbnbnormalities, no structural defects.
If you didn't sound so despondent,
I'd say that was good news.
It is for you, not for him.
Notice any heaviness in your legs the last couple days?
Why isn't it good news for you?
Because, if there's nothing wrong with you, he gets fired.
Seriously?
Somewhat seriously. Your legs?
Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
- Shortness of breath? - Would it help if i puked?
Pick a card.
Any tightness in your chest or arms?
- Pick a card. - You don't seem too worried.
Would you please pick a card?
Our boss thinks your cardiac arrest
Was just a result of you accidentally drowning.
Your boss is an idiot. Put it back.
Shuffle 'em up.
So then why aren't you worried?
Either i'm dying or i'm not.
I mean, i don't want the ride to be over,
But unless worrying
Is some new form of treatment...
Your card.
No.
I'm gonna prep you for a transesophageal echo.
You sure you shuffled these?
And i'm gonna need to sedate you.
Might wanna check your wallet first.
Would you check your wallet? It's part of the trick.
Oh.
That's my card. How did you do that?
Do it again.
Thought you weren't playing.
I'm not.
She'll fire you if she catches you.
I don't think she can fire me
For not trying to steal her panties.
You trying to will them off?
If i had a plan,
The first part would be not telling you what the plan was.
You haven't touched that coffee.
Yes, i have.
She can't keep her panties on if they're wet.
We work together.
One wins, protects the other.
Or i win by myself,
And then you try desperately to convince me to spare you.
Dr. Cuddy.
- Ooh! - Oh!
Dr. Taub, are you okay?
I- I just tripped. I'm so sorry.
I have some extra time.
Do you need any help in the clinic?
Uh... okay.
We found no apparent cause for the arrest.
T.T.E. And T.E.E. Revealed no-
Send the patient home. You can give him a lift.
We checked for clots. We checked for-
You're reporting to me because you're scared to report to house
Because you found nothing, because this isn't a case.
And you thought i'd save your ass.
Yeah.
I thought he was sick.
What was i supposed to do?
What about his lungs?
Decreased oxygen saturation leads to heart failure.
E.R. Didn't find anything.
E.R. Wasn't looking.
Too busy trying to keep him alive.
Get an mri.
Clinic.
Yes, can you ask dr. Cuddy
To come to the nurse's station, stat?
Right away.
I asked you to get doctor-
Dr. Taub said she'd be right out.
A fungus in my lungs?
How would i even get something like that?
Right now, it's just a theory.
We don't even know if it's-
I knew i shouldn't have done those mushrooms in college.
I'm sure there's no connection.
It was a joke.
You really lose your sense of humor
When your job's on the line, huh?
Sorry. Most dying people don't really like to-
Not that you're dying.
But a little sick would be perfect, right?
Yeah.
Aah! My stomach!
Stabbing or throbbing?
Grey turner's sign. He's got internal bleeding
I'll call surgery.
Surgeons have transfused three units ab positive,
But they're still looking for the source of the bleed.
No trauma. Could be liver disease.
Vitamin k deficiency.
The only thing we know for sure it's not... nothing.
And we would have noticed something chronic
Like liver disease.
It's probably an intestinal infarct-
I got it!
Ahem.
Eau de cuddy.
No way.
How did you get them?
Only one way.
These are not cuddy's panties.
- You don't think that i- - No.
Also, she's wearing a red bra today.
Like i'm the only one who noticed.
Means the downstairs will match.
Do your research, people.
An intestinal infarct
Could be linked to the cardiac arrest.
Hike up your skirt.
Wow, that's rude, even for you.
Hike it down then.
You're wearing a black bra.
Let's see the underwear.
No!
You two cut a deal.
If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
Is she not wearing any underwear?
Um, there's a guy bleeding-
Foreman, she's not wearing any underwear.
You used to be more fun.
She's not wearing any underwear-Big deal.
When she stops wearing clothes,
Then we can drop the medical stuff.
Let me see the mri film.
Oh, we didn't get any images.
He started screaming as soon as i turned it on.
Define "soon. "
Uh... i didn't even get a chance to sit down.
You guys ever wonder
How he was gonna get out of that water tank?
You-Come.
Lacerations in his digestive tract.
And his spleen is shredded.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have nothing in my hands,
Nothing up my sleeve.
I do have something in my pants,
But it's not gonna help with this particular trick.
Watch closely.
How ya been?
Fine. Till now.
Ta-Da!
Now you... disappear.
Look familiar?
The mri's magnet ripped this through your intestine
Into your spleen.
Forgot about that.
On account of almost dying.
Where's dr. Kutner?
He's no longer on your case.
'Cause there's nothing wrong with you.
I didn't screw up that trick.
Everything that's happened can be explained
By you being forgetful and incompetent.
You screwed up, you passed out-
Know my favorite time to lie?
When my life hangs in the balance.
Your life doesn't hang in the balance.
You know your life doesn't hang in the balance.
Your reputation might hang-
You ever do magic as a kid?
You seem like the type-
Lonely, obsessive.
I outgrew it. You?
Pick a card.
Too much trouble.
Can i just pick my nose?
I'm not a hack.
If i tell you how it's done, will you go home?
So you gonna make it magically appear in my wallet?
You are a hack.
I don't screw up.
A nosebleed that major means he's actually sick.
Means the cardiac arrest was a symptom.
Stop gloating.
I'm not gloating.
Then what's that smirk?
No smirk. This is how i look.
What about the underwear challenge?
I declare it officially on hold.
Not really fair, but i get it.
It's cuddy's.
Pull down your pants.
You think i'm lying?
No. I wanna give you a reward.
Yes, i think you're lying.
Cardiac arrest plus nose bleed-Go.
Uh, patient has no significant family history,
No angina, no prior attacks.
What if it isn't his heart?
What if it's the vessels around his heart?
Polyarteritis nodosa causes cardiac symptoms
And hypertension, which makes his nose bleed.
You know what else makes your nose bleed and your heart race?
Cocaine. Guy works in a b-List nightclub in atlantic city.
He's gotta be taking regular rolls in the snow.
You, take the gloater to the patient's drug den.
Make sure you pat down his pockets before you leave.
You and big love,
Biopsy of blood vessel from around the heart.
Test for polyarteritis nodosa.
You...
In my office.
Those aren't my panties.
I know.
Hypothetical.
A young woman does something clumsy in public.
And instead of laughing it off,
She gets irrationally upset.
Explain.
Maybe she's clumsy 'cause she's nervous,
'Cause she forgot to do her spelling homework.
In my hypothetical, she's eight.
But this girl's not insecure.
Seems more like she's afraid.
Do you have a point,
Or did you just get a new book of riddles?
I think you're hiding a medical condition.
I'm not.
I'm glad we had this talk.
Doctors often try to ignore their symptoms
'Cause they think they can't get sick.
If you got something going on,
I need you to take care of it.
And i take your compassion entirely at face value.
It's not compassion. It's self-Interest.
I want my team healthy.
It's not self-Interest. It's curiosity.
I dropped a file, house.
I start bleeding from the eyes,
I'll be sure to make an appointment.
Okay.
Eh, found some pot.
Bag it.
I'm not sure it really fits the symptoms.
Of course not,
But it'd be irresponsible to leave it here.
You have a quarter?
No.
How did cole get those panties off cuddy?
They were never on her.
No way those are hers.
Uh-Huh.
Tularemia.
No, you'd have to have rabbits.
True-Maybe a tick
Jumped from a rabbit and landed
On one of these white, fluffy alligators.
Then it jumps onto our patient,
Transfers the bacteria, causes pericarditis.
Explains everything.
What are you giving me?
How'd you do the trick?
Oh, if i explain, it becomes mundane,
And you lose the actual magic.
What do you mean, the actual magic?
Think you're actually sawing women in half?
You gonna tell me what's wrong with me or not?
Magic is cool.
Actual magic is oxymoronic.
Might not even be oxy.
You're not gonna tell me unless i tell you?
You got a nurse to plant the card.
I can't get a nurse to help me pee.
You got a buddy to plant the card.
The fun... is in not knowing.
The fun... is in knowing.
Oh, my head. Oh!
I got a headache.
How bad? Is it new?
It's not too bad.
I'll-I'll just take one of these...
Vicodin.
You eat a lot of beets, you have an electric toothbrush,
And you sleep less than six hours a night.
That's impressive.
The red betamine from the beets
Stains the plaque deposits on your teeth,
Which are then swirled by your spinning toothbrush.
Your heavy lids and your prematurely aging skin
Tell me that you're carrying a major sleep debt.
That was way cooler before you explained it.
It was meaningless until i explained it.
People come to my show
Because they want a sense of wonder.
They want to experience something
That they can't explain.
If the wonder's gone when the truth is known,
There never was any wonder.
You have tularemia from your rabbits.
I've put you on antibiotics.
You'll be better in a couple of days.
Sorry to spoil the mystery.
Thank you.
Because it's very important
To actually do it well.
I'll get it.
Oh... my... god!
You're not wearing underwear!
Of course, i'm-
Skirt that tight, you got no secrets.
Skirt that tight, i can tell if you got an i. U.D.
You've seen dr. Cole?
No.
You're blushing.
I am not.
Look at me.
Oh... my...
God!
How'd you do it?
So i'm safe?
In this job, yeah.
Crotch, on the other hand...
How'd you do it?
Prayer, mostly.
Just tell me.
Does cuddy have her groove back?
It'd be rude of me to discuss.
You handed over her panties.
I don't think Gallantry's
Really an option at this point.
If i tell you, then where's the magic?
(Kutner) he passed out.
Ultrasound revealed bleeding around his heart.
We drained 100 ccs before it stopped.
The antibiotics aren't working.
It's obviously not tularemia or any other infection.
Excuse me- We were talking.
(Taub) bleeding around the heart could meaned biopsy
When cole was looking for the-
Why would you accuse the man who decides your fate
Of screwing up?
(Taub) those really were her panties?
Cole has traveled through the forest of crustaceans
And brought us a treasure.
And he has earned his reward.
If i could just get the immunity, i-
No, sophie, you can't.
Use whatever criteria you want.
Could be a clotting issue.
(Amber) if he developed d. I.C. After the surgery,
Even a normal biopsy bleeds out of control.
So cardiac arrest and d. I.C.
What's the common denominator? Could be cancer.
We've been looking in his chest since he got here-It's clean.
(Taub) so the main mass is somewhere else-Throws up a clot,
Blocks an artery in his heart, causes the arrest.
Good!
Go find out where he's hiding his cancer.
(Cole) if you swallowed any more metal,
Now would be a good time to tell us.
My hands feel kind of numb.
You lost a lot of blood.
I'm gonna die.
Everybody gets scared in a hospital.
You're sick, you feel awful-
No.
This time tomorrow.
I'll be dead.
So who's going on the block?
He thinks he's dying.
He's probably right.
Tomorrow.
You decide to put me up, i totally get it.
Nothing personal.
I haven't decided anything.
But you don't like me.
I like you.
Some fluid in the lungs.
No masses.
I'm manipulative. [Typing]
I play the game.
I can be a bitch.
There's a dark spot.
Damage from where the key ripped through.
You're probably expecting me to bash the others,
Give examples of how they screwed up.
You know i can.
I'm a good doctor.
As good as anybody around here.
Probably better.
You know that's the only thing that matters.
(Cole) what's that?
It's not a tumor. It's another bleed.
This one's in his kidney.
And his thigh.
He's bleeding all over the place.
His Time-Table might be right-on
(Cole) it was creepy.
The patient predicted his own death.
(House) would have been more impressive
If he'd predicted that he wasn't gonna die.
Of course, that takes longer to prove.
(Cole) could be a symptom.
Sense of impending doom.
Yeah, could be adrenal gland disorders,
Blood issues, anaphylaxis.
If you're gonna kiss his ass to protect your ass,
At least wait until he's had a good idea.
It's a symptom of him being a charlatan.
He's a second-Rate magician with a mysterious illness.
Why wouldn't he predict his own death?
If he's wrong, we all forget it.
If he's right, he goes out a legend.
(Kutner) he got scared right after a transfusion.
Tainted blood has been known to cause
A sense of impending doom.
Could also explain the d. I.C.
I predict all your pagers go off... right now.
Oh! But if it had happened...
Anyone bother looking at his panel?
His immunoglobulin levels are low.
That doesn't tell us anything specific about-
Are you acting stupid 'cause you know you're safe? Clever.
(Foreman) low immunoglobulin
Plus failing heart, plus fluid in the lungs,
Plus internal bleeding, equals amyloidosis.
He's bleeding way too much for amyloidosis.
Say anything about his hands or feet feeling weak?
(Cole) he said his hands felt numb,
But that's explained by the blood loss.
No! Do not give me credit for that.
Close doesn't count.
That's how people get sucked into this stupidity.
He's seizing.
Somebody stabilize him.
Rest of you, pull his medical records.
Go back ten years.
Look for joint pain, fatigue,
Anything associated with amyloidosis.
Mr Flynn, node if you can hear me.
You had a grand mal seizure.
We're giving you liquids and an anticonvulsant.
Just try to rest.
Pulse is dropping. He's stabilizing.
You're not gonna put me on the block, are you?
I haven't decided who i'm gonna pick.
That's cool.
His legs look swollen to you?
Slight swelling could be renal.
I babysat for you.
I decided i'm gonna make my decision
Based solely on who deserves to be here.
That's admirable, though stupid.
You shouldn't save the strongest.
You should get r the strong
Eliminate your competition, which is definitely not me.
And i'm your friend.
And how are you gonna explain to your kid
That i can't take him to the zoo next week
Because you got me fired?
Kutner.
He's gonna seize again.
Flank pain. His kidneys are shutting down.
Also... amber's a racist.
(Wilson) you knew they'd get paged?
I noticed a trend-
If nobody does anything,
Sick people often get sicker.
You think it's remotely possible they had sex?
They're both single.
It's still legal in the blue states.
She barely knows him.
You know, in some cultures,
Hiring people to steal someone's underpants
Is considered wooing.
You should move there.
Because here it's just, you know, creepy.
There was no woo.
This was an effective test.
This is beneath my skills.
(Kutner) kidneys are shutting down.
Led to a sodium deficiency. Caused him to seize.
Kidney failure means i was right
About amyloidosis.
Except that nothing in his medical history
Remotely indicates amyloidosis.
So kidney failure proves i'm right about the bad blood.
Bad blood doesn't explain the heart or the liver.
His major symptoms didn't start until after we transfused him.
Is cardiac arrest no longer considered a major symptom?
Not when it's caused by drowning.
So your new theory
Is that you're an idiot to take this case.
Yes. Can i go test that theory now?
Waste of time.
He needs a bone marrow transplant for the amyloidosis.
You'd have to irradiate him first.
If they're right about the blood,
You'd be destroying his immune system for nothing.
Which could be a good thing.
Does he have a really crappy life?
Go prove i'm right.
Do a subcutaneous fat biopsy.
At least let us eliminate the bad blood theory,
Check the blood banks for mis-Marks and contamination.
You've got two hours.
That's completely arbitrary.
No, if i'd said that you got three lunar months,
That'd be completely arbitrary.
Two hours is how long it's gonna take big love
To finish a biopsy that you guys can't do
Because you're wasting two hours checking blood.
9-3. 5- All.
Hey. Brought you something from the cafeteria.
It's not a bribe.
This is a bribe.
How much?
$1 million.
$5,000.
This is so wrong.
House specifically said
You can use whatever criteria you want.
I've got money. You need money.
Hand me that slide.
Right now, you're earning what i'm earning,
Which is miserable.
I know what school your kid's at.
I know what it costs.
I've seen his picture.
He's gonna need braces.
(Kutner) No R.B.C. Damage.
(Thirteen) Nothing wrong with storage.
I'm gonna double-Check type and start cultures.
(Foreman) We've still got 32 minutes left.
Time flies. What have you found?
You're checking up on them- That means cole's finished
With the biopsy, and it was negative.
Inconclusive.
Fat doesn't always give you the answer.
Need to biopsy his actual organs-
Lungs, kidneys, liver.
We stick another needle in him, he'll hemorrhage.
Unless we start treatment for amyloidosis.
Unless it's not amyloidosis.
If he has an infection, the radiation will kill him.
Show me evidence of infection.
We need more than two hours.
Some of these cultures will take at least a day to grow.
He'll be dead in a day.
Like he predicted.
O. He'll be half a day off.
Would it make you guys feel any better
If i let you argue with me for... three minutes
Before i order you to treat for amyloidosis?
No. Just treat for amyloidosis.
No. Don't.
You're playing the cuddy card?
That's why i'm here.
Amyloidosis was your idea.
I was wrong.
Yeah, me too. You were never fun.
Give me the blood.
I'm type ab. Give me the blood.
(Kutner) whatever's in there could be killing him.
In where?
How much tainted blood do you think they keep in here?
How many people would have gotten sick-
It would have to have been the first batch,
The splenectomy-That's when the symptoms started.
Okay. So transfuse blood from those donors.
I'll be fine.
We move on. Treat for amyloidosis.
Fill 'er up.
(House) I have a new theory.
You're not stubborn.
You're not getting it checked
'Cause you already know the answer.
I found an old picture in your wallet.
Of course you did.
I wasn't snooping.
I needed lunch money.
Figure it's your mom,
Except she looks about 32 years old.
The only reason not to update a photo
In 20-Odd years is she's not talking to you,
Which would be interesting,
Or she's dead.
Which would also be interesting.
She's dead.
So's grover cleveland.
Pretty young to have a dead mom.
You were even younger 20 years ago.
I googled her obituary.
Said she died at new haven presbyterian
After a long illness.
Parkinson's?
Huntington's chorea.
I'm sorry.
I'm leaving when this case is over.
No, you're not.
You don't want a doctor on your team
Who's slowly losing control of her body and mind.
Huntington's isn't the only thing that causes tremors.
You think it's just a coincidence?
I think you're the only one on the team
Who drinks decaf.
I've been switching it out with regular
Ever since you dropped that file.
You're trembling 'cause you're hopped up on caffeine.
The first file wasn't my fault.
Medical explanation for that is...
People drop things.
I've been walking around thinking i'm dying...
You are.
You don't know that.
With huntington's, it's inevitable.
No, you don't know, because i don't know.
How could you not get tested?
If your mom had it, it's a 50% chance
You're a bomb waiting to explode.
Not knowing makes me do things i think i'm scared to do-
Take flying lessons, climb kilimanjaro,
Work for you.
'Cause if you knew,
You couldn't do any of those things.
What?
You're sweating.
You're burning up.
House...
You?
(Kutner) Could be pneumococcus.
That'd cause chest pain and the stiff neck.
It's not pneumococcus.
Let me check your lymph nodes.
I'm not the patient.
Patient is the one whose body is shutting down.
I'm having a benign transfusion reaction.
Pseudomonas would present as an armpit rash.
Take off your shirt.
You first.
House, you gotta let us do this.
We can't biopsy him without bleeding him to death.
You are not biopsying me.
How's your stomach? Any diarrhea?
[Exhaling] the more transfusions you have,
The greater the chance of you reacting.
I've had three in a decade.
Fever'll be gone in a couple of hours.
(Thirteen) i heard somewhere that doctors ignore symptoms
Because they think they can't get sick.
(Kutner) you told us to give you the blood so that you wouldn't-
I am not sick. Fever is a symptom.
But not of what the patient has!
My kidneys are working.
I'm not bleeding out of every organ.
Yet.
This is a waste of time.
And it's distracting you from the actual case.
What's wrong?
The room is spinning.
You okay?
No, i'm dizzy.
My mouth just went dry.
Could be a symptom of any number-
It's a symptom of narcotics.
Who spiked my-
What'd you drug him with?
Amber's nickname is cutthroat bitch,
And you're pointing at me.
Got the kidney sample.
You're the only one with nothing to lose.
Could have been you.
You don't seem to care if you get this job or not.
Yeah, i've been here for eight weeks
'Cause my subscription to masochism weekly ran out.
You're the only one who hasn't asked me
Not to put them on the block.
You're either gonna pick me or you're not.
You're fair enough to try to make the right decision,
And arrogant enough
That nothing i can say will change your mind.
I don't want it to be over, but...
Unless worrying about it is gonna make a difference...
I'm gonna run some stains.
He'll be less of an ass to you.
Patient dead yet?
No.
That's a little much for a first date.
Obviously, you've never dated me.
Feels like you already got the...
Lung and kidney samples.
Now i just need a piece of your liver.
Hey, you might wanna use a little lidocaine-
Oh, yeah, i forgot.
Oh! Slight pinch.
You drugged me.
Stopped by the lab.
Your mutinous team is starting to worry
About life on pitcairn island.
All your biopsies are clean.
Because there's nothing wrong with me.
Did foreman finally okay
The amyloidosis treatment?
Patient's scheduled for irradiation at 9:00.
You risked your life again.
You couldn't be sure he had amyloidosis.
You can't be sure that i couldn't be sure.
You did one test. It was negative.
Inconclusive.
Well, then, by all means
Flood your body with possibly lethal blood.
I usually like to give the lethal blood to foreman,
But i'm the only one who's type ab.
Of course. You're type ab.
Universal recipient.
You take from everybody.
Course, you're type o-
Universal donor.
No wonder you're paying three alimonies.
How do you know... what blood type i am?
I don't. Just seemed to fit the metaphor.
No, no, no, no, no.
Did you test my blood for something?
Why would you test my blood for something?
I didn't.
You must have... told me what you were.
Who the hell chats about their blood type?
You had to have tested me.
There's no reason to ask anyone their blood type.
You're about to run out of here, aren't you?
Nurse, can i have a moment with my patient?
He's due in radiation.
It's too late. He's dying.
Told you.
I'm sorry i doubted you.
Be a shame if your secrets died with you.
Perhaps you've got that trick written down somewhere?
Or maybe you wanna tell me, and i'll write it down for you.
That way... you can live on.
I'm taking it with me.
See, that way,
It stays magic.
You were wrong about everything.
It was never magic, and you're not dying.
What's your blood type?
T- Type a.
What?
Trust me. It's way cooler to know.
(Coleman) where's finn?
Up my sleeve.
It's not amyloidosis.
And his blood's fine.
We just gave him the wrong type.
'Caused the DIC., explains the bleeding.
Multisystem failures.
But we tested his blood.
That's because we don't test blood for type.
We test for antibodies.
'Cause your body only makes those antibodies
When you actually have that type of blood.
Apparently, he has one more symptom.
His body's making an extra antibody-Type b.
Combine that with his natural type a,
And presto change-O, he magically pulls
Blood type ab out of his hat.
Would you stop that? God, yes!
(Thirteen) autoimmune diseases
Can make antibodies go haywire, but still...
It's happened... and apparently, it's happened again.
I finally have a case of lupus.
Flush him with saline.
Transfuse four units type a. Start him on steroids.
He'll be back hoodwinking idiots in no time.
Use their power wisely, my lord.
I nominate... amber.
Cutthroat bitch...
Rise.
You're surprised?
You're everyone's pick. Next victim.
I nominate...
Kutner.
Now everyone's surprised.
Why?
You said i don't have to justify my picks.
No. I said you could use whatever criteria you want.
Doesn't mean i don't wanna know.
He was right about this being a real case.
He was right about the botched transfusion.
And he's your love nugget.
You got no reason to pick him.
But somebody else does.
Kutner's a liability.
He electrocuted himself, lit a patient on fire.
It's only a matter of time
Before he burns the hospital down.
You made the deal with cuddy.
That's how you got her underwear.
She sold it to you
For the right to put her choices on the block.
You said get her underwear.
I got it.
Your scheme was brilliant.
And you're fired.
You're all about breaking the rules.
Her rules, not mine.
The whole point of this was to subvert cuddy.
You became her partner,
Gave her power she didn't already have.
Let her greedy fingers into my cookie jar,
Which, sadly, is not as dirty as it sounds.
Thanks for playing.
What the hell is this?
Looks like an envelope with the results
Of the genetic test for huntington's inside.
Did you look?
I thought it'd be fun to find out together.
I don't want to know.
No. You're afraid to know.
I might die. So could you.
You could get hit by a bus tomorrow.
The only difference is you don't have to know about it today,
So why should i?
I don't have to know the lottery numbers.
But if someone offered them to me, i'd take them.
You spend your whole life looking for answers...
Because you think the next answer will change something,
Maybe make you a little less miserable.
And you know that when you run out of questions,
You don't just run out of answers.
You run out of hope.
You glad you know that?
