"My heart's kinda racing." "I got it." "Heart rate is 170." "P.A.T. until proven otherwise, we've gotta slow it down." "Six milligrams adenosine, IV bolus." "Tell the nurse to get in here with the crash cart." "Pushing fluid sent his heart into overdrive." "It took three doses of adenosine to get it under control." "Treating him for antihistamine toxicity revealed a new symptom," "Which revealed that he didn't have antihistamine toxicity in the first place." "House, where are you?" "Playground."

"Followed by your cell number." "No, no, no, you're right." "This is in no way clever and hysterical." "Before you start rolling anyone in flour, work the patient out for a pheo." "Adrenaline pituitary scans, 24-hour urine collection." "How soon after the admissions session did the child get sick?" "The kid barely got home before she collapsed." "Her parents are a wreck." "Desperate for answers." "Have you experienced any symptoms, or does someone else oversee these sessions?" "The teachers supervise." "No one's mentioned feeling sick." "I'd love to call the family and offer my support." "Sorry, I can't reveal names." "Doctor-patient confidentiality." "So this is where all the admissions play dates happen?" "She wouldn't have been in another room?" "This is where we have them all." "Maybe, to be safe, we get rid of these toys." "No, no, no, don't do that." "I'll tell you if anything's toxic." "For now, you should minimize your exposure." "I'm supposed to be supervised." "The scan is pre-programmed." "There's no risk to the patient." "You're literally gonna sit here, watch the monitor, and chat with him if he gets lonely." "Uh..." "Still." "Report me." "How you doing in there?" "You shouldn't bother trying to protect Landon." "I know he's the one who drugged me." "The antihistamines aren't what got you sick." "Doesn't change the fact that he did it." "I tried everything with that kid." "I just..." "Can't break through." "It's clear you care about him." "Have you tried telling him that?" "You gotta understand something." "These kids, they're all manipulators." "As much as I care about all of them," "I can't-- I can't show them that unless there's some mutual respect." "Otherwise-- forget those other kids." "Think about this kid." "He watched his mother get sick and die." "He's never known his dad." "Who knows how long it's been since anyone's taken care of him, or if there's ever been a man around with any degree of consistency?" "I believe that you're on his side." "I'm betting it would help if he did." "You are a beautiful man." "Can I leave now?" "I know where all three women are, but I'd like to avoid the additional humiliation of falsely accusing any of them." "You I.D.Ed the hotel off this." "I'm hoping there's another clue in there somewhere." "We could enhance the image." "Maybe her face is reflected in that gleam off your butt cheek." "Or maybe it's time to chalk this up to the hazards of being a player." "Your zipper problems just blew up your marriage." "Don't move." "Unlike me, you've had the decency not to cheat on anyone, but you haven't been giving much thought to who these women are, how they might feel." "Obviously, you hurt one of them." "Emotionally, you hurt her, because physically, how would you even know?" "Looks like your shorty is a shorty." "You're early." "Dinner's not ready." "Oh..." "Okay." "Rachel and I will go play in her room." "Really?" "I'm hungry." "Go cook." "All right, you little lump of clay..." "Rachel." "Rachel..." "It's a new toy." "What kid doesn't like new toys?" "A moron, that's who." "Okay, look at the pretty colors." "Now, what color is this?" "Hmm?" "Orange." "Yes, that is orange." "What color is this?" "Okay, blocks going away." "Bye-bye blocks." "Next time, reinforce the levees." "Bad Corps of Army Engineers." "Bad!" "What's this?" "Rings!" "Look at the rings." "Now, the goal of this game is..." "To not kill you." "Why are you here?" "Wait, did you give me an std?" "No, I did not." "Don't deflect." "That picture was taken by someone your height." "Just take it down." "What picture?" "Fine." "Play it that way." "So, uh..." "You really like kittens, huh?" "Yeah." "You said you did too." "No wonder you're pissed." "'Cause that is not you." "And I didn't take it." "Did you mean my height with heels or without?" "You weren't wearing heels when we were in that room-- oh, yes, you were." "I started to take them off, and then you asked me very nicely not to." "Why would I do this?" "I mean, I'm not mad about what happened with us." "Or apparently with you and any other woman at that wedding." "Sorry, I guess my forensic analysis wasn't as advanced as I thought." "Wait." "You know, you don't have to rush off." "I still have those heels." "Everywhere you looked, gingham and stuffed animals." "How did you get out of there?" "I didn't..." "Right away." "Wasn't anything wrong with her physically." "One down, two members of the threesome to go." "You should flip a condom to choose." "We checked his adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid glands." "Monitored his catecholamines." "It's not a pheo." "We had to put him on a diltiazem drip to regulate his heart." "That means he's running out of time." "It means you are too." "Your campaign to soften him up so he would go easier on the kids..." "All in a pointless attempt to validate your own upbringing." "Another cardiac arrhythmia?" "Not our patient." "It's the E.R." "That patient House admitted with back pain and urinary retention..." "How do you feel about a matched set?" "We need to track your common exposures." "What shampoo do you use?" "Whatever crap the camp gives us." "Same here." "We need things exclusive to you, but not the rest of the camp." "Otherwise, a lot more people would be sick." "Toothpaste, deodorant." "Can't be deodorant making him sick." "He doesn't wear any." "Smells like a-- park, shut your mouth." "You're not my drill instructor in here, okay?" "Doesn't mean you get to be disrespectful." "I can do whatever the hell I want." "You're not in charge." "There's gotta be a link." "Diet, sexual history, drug abuse." "No." "Believe me, I asked." "Those were some fun conversations." "Do you believe the answers?" "I know the answer to that is always supposed to be no, but I did." "Not like the kid has had much unsupervised time lately." "Delivery for Dr. Robert Chase." "That's me." "The camp is in the woods." "There are tons of opportunities for infection that not every person will pick up." "Legionelosis from water, toxoplasmosis from dirt, brucellosis from animals." "Too bad none of those explain his symptoms." ""Casey and Sanford Wells thank me for my extraordinarily generous donation to their wedding charity." "Aww." "Oh, God." "She must have gotten access to my credit card." "Nocardia fits." "Bacteria lives in the dirt." "They both-- nocardia starts in the lungs, not the bladder." "How generous is extraordinarily generous?" "Call the charity." "Explain the donation's a fraud." "And take back Wells' wedding gift?" "You are extraordinarily screwed." "Bushes can make a happy hunting ground for ticks, lyme disease." "Neither of our patients have a rash or tick bite." "40% of lyme patients don't develop a rash, and a bite is easy to miss." "Start him on doxycycline for lyme." "$2,500?" "Cancel your credit card, find that girl, and marry her." "Chris Stroud, he approaches the 17th." "Stroud..." "Go back." "That was Jersey Shore." "I'm not watching that crap." "No, let him be your Guinea pig." "You can dose me after you're sure you're right." "The side effects are fairly limited." "And it would be better to treat you before you develop any more symptoms." "I want to wait." "I'm not your drill instructor." "Not trying to break you." "My only job is to make you better." "I truly believe this medicine is our best shot." "But whether or not you take it is up to you." "Is there anything else i can do for you?" "Another pillow would be cool, if you don't mind." "Hey." "Your turn to pick." "Ready, set, feed the monkey!" "Well, this isn't weird at all." "She's got the fine motor skills of The Hulk in oven mitts." "Do you want a doodle?" "Do you?" "Feed the monkey." "Cuddy puts her to bed at 7:30, which cuts way into our training time." "Play date's on Friday." "What is that?" "Dog training clicker." "Gives immediate positive reinforcement, bridging the precious seconds between desired behavior and treat delivery." "House, she's not a dog." "It really seems to be working." "Does Cuddy know that Rachel's here, and that you're turning her into a schnauzer?" "I told marina that Rachel and I are working on a secret art project for mommy." "Which means that some pedes patient is about to be short one art project." "The sacrifices we make for our children's education." "Who's a good girl?" "Who's a good girl?" "It had to be you." "I gave you my credit card to pay for drinks." "And I gave it back." "I didn't take the picture." "Now go away." "Well, forgive me if I'm not convinced." "You're obviously pissed at me." "Because I thought we totally had a connection." "And then when you didn't ask me for my number, I-- a connection?" "It was a threesome." "Yeah, but you were obviously more into me than you were into Nika." "Kenzie, honey, you have a phone call." "Just a minute, dad." "I didn't want to say anything in front of her, but you could have." "You live with your parents?" "Just until graduation." "College?" "How old are you?" "18..." "Next month." "Relax, it's not illegal or anything." "Look, I just need this to stop." "Would you give it up already?" "I told you, it's not me." "My parents won't even let me on social networking sites." "Too many sexual predators." "Stop him." "Hey, hey." "Where you going?" "Hey, you're sick." "You need to be in the hospital." "There's a million hospitals." "Ones that won't send me back to that camp!" "Landon, what's going on?" "Please, help me." "Don't send me back." "Those are my car keys." "You stole them out of my pocket?" "No bad kids, huh?" "Did you stop Landon?" "Yeah, yeah." "What's wrong?" "Oh, my legs, they hurt." "The muscles are in a vise." "What does it mean?" "I'm not sure yet." "Ten Diazepam." "40 potassium." "The leg pain was caused by a muscle cramp from low sodium, which was caused by kidney dysfunction." "Landon didn't respond to doxycycline either." "I think we can rule out lyme." "I thought I was getting through to him, and he just wanted to steal my car keys." "If only his previous behavior had given you a reason to expect that." "Why are you putting hot sauce on a toy?" "Maybe you don't care if children chew on your caterpillar." "I think it's wrong." "What causes kidney dysfunction on top of everything else?" "Arsenic poisoning." "And people do change." "Driscoll took it to heart when I asked him to think about" "Landon's history." "He was much nicer, and then" "Wow, two ideas that don't make any sense." "If it was arsenic, they'd be puking and pooping." "And conversations with moralizing strangers do not make people change their behavior." "Rachel is not gonna do that more than once." "Whipple's could affect the brain, kidneys, heart." "Not without G.I. involvement." "Why is it impossible to believe" "I made a compelling argument, and he-- if he changed, it's because something besides you made that argument compelling." "Compromised kidneys secondary to bladder issues points to botulism toxin, which lives in soil." "Got into the kid's bloodstream through the cut on his forehead." "Got into the drill instructor's through some abrasions on his feet." "Good idea." "Give 'em both the antitoxin." "I saw my chance to get out of here." "I had to take it." "Don't make excuses." "You tried to steal from me." "Oh, these kids are manipulators." "You can't let your guard down." "What do you mean "all these kids"?" "Don't lump me in with the losers at that camp." "Seems like you belong there." "It may be your only chance." "Look, I've screwed up, but I've never been in trouble with the law." "You said you were in for shoplifting." "Store owner caught me trying to boost some chips and stuff." "Called my DCS caseworker." "I thought all the kids were there under court order." "That's usually how it works." "So why is he different?" "Why would I take a naked picture of you?" "You're cute, but you're not that cute." "Now please go." "You're the only one left." "You're pissed off." "I'm pissed off because you're in my apartment, and my boyfriend might be here any minute." "Boyfriend." "Last thing I want to do is publicize that I cheated on him, so why would I prank you?" "And where was this boyfriend at the wedding?" "Out of town." "Conveniently." "It's from my sister's birthday last month." "And before you suggest he's my brother, note how I'm kissing him." "You used me, I used you." "It was a mistake." "Now I just want to forget about it." "I just got off the phone with Landon's DCS caseworker." "You were right." "I'm not what made my argument compelling." "Where are we going?" "To give your bladder an antibiotic wash to protect against infection." "Who are you?" "I'm Dr. House." "And that boy is the spitting image of his mother." "Of course, I've never seen her, but his care worker told my lackey that you paid his enrollment fee at the camp." "That could mean that you're a family friend, but then, why hide it?" "The only person who'd want to hide it..." "Is his deadbeat dad, who has decided not to be a deadbeat anymore." "Please, don't tell him." "We spend days looking for a link between them, and he doesn't tell us the kid is his son." "We were looking for exposures." "He didn't think it was medically relevant." "Soon, he won't have to worry about his kidding finding out." "Being dead makes keeping secrets much easier." "Neither one was responding to botulism treatment, and the boy started having seizures." "And Driscoll might have been right that their biological relationship doesn't matter." "Genetic illness emerges when people are the same age, not during the same week." "Unless there's a trigger." "Genetic conditions can be set off by things in the surroundings, and these two obviously share surroundings." "That's a relatively rare phenomenon." "Which is our specialty, I know." "Our patients are related." "That can't be a coincidence." "I just had an idea." "Relevant to our case?" "No." "Sit." "Wegener's can be brought on by exposure to heavy metals." "Did you see anything at the camp?" "Near the isolation hut, there were some old generator batteries." "Could have leaked into the soil?" "Seems like someone else in the camp would have had lead poisoning." "You got anything better?" "Treat with cyclophosphamide." "Go find your bliss." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a play date." "Why didn't you step forward when his mom died?" "I found out she'd passed months later." "By then, Landon was already in the foster system." "I was figuring out a way to approach him when he got into trouble, so I brought him to the camp." "You need to tell him." "I can't." "Not now." "If I die, the only thing I'll ever be to him is the hardass who made him run obstacle courses." "You'll apologize to me for something done in a psychotic state, but you won't own up to being his father." "What happened to "actions have consequences, a man accepts them"?" "I'm in his life, and I am working to get him on the right path." "He doesn't need a drill instructor." "He needs a dad." "It's so sweet of you coming to this." "Just trying to be supportive." "I've heard that's what boyfriends do." "Hi, honey." "Hi." "Did you have fun?" "Yeah?" "Rachel had a great time." "Played with everything." "She's a very clever girl." "I'm sorry to ask this, but we've had some problems with parents coaching kids." "Rachel caught onto our toys unusually quickly, and she even knew the game was called "Feed the Monkey."" "Uh, well, as eager as I am to have her go here," "I promise you I would never do that." "Hey, Rachel, have you ever played "Feed the Monkey" before?" "No, mama." "She seemed so dumb, but when the pressure was on, she knew what had to be done, and she did it." "You're pumped 'cause your kid lied?" "She's not my kid." "She's a pain in the ass." "And she's a better liar than you are." "You didn't cut your leg getting into your truck." "The abrasion has dirt and gravel in it." "A bit of fertilizer too." "Tripped in my greenhouse." "Growing my own organic veggies." "Didn't ask." "Not gonna tell." "She didn't hesitate." "She didn't oversell." "Took me years to learn how to lie like that." "And Rachel has it on instinct." "Sounds like you're real fond of that kid." "You're really not good with nuance, are you?" "I admire her talent." "I'm just gonna numb you up..." "I gotta go." "Latest kidney function test shows no improvement." "Nice stitches." "Do they hurt?" "No." "They gave me a shot of something." "That was Lidocaine." "It triggered an underlying genetic condition called variegate porphyria." "That would explain their symptoms." "But I didn't have any Lidocaine." "But you had a handful of antihistamines, courtesy of the deviant in the next bed." "It's also a porphyria trigger." "Wait, so we have the same genetic thing?" "Yeah..." "Small world." "This is good news." "We can manage the condition with hematin." "A liver transplant could cure it." "Sometimes two patients share one donated liver." "Would that work for us?" "Possibly." "We'd have to test your blood, tissue type." "And if they matched-- why would they?" "Just because we have the same thing making us sick..." "Also..." "I'm your father." "I don't believe you." "You don't think a white guy can be a bad father?" "Happy to check your DNA." "Do you really think he'd say he's your dad if he isn't?" "It's not like you're a catch." "You're evil." "Barely recognize you with your clothes on." "You were at the wedding with your sister." "Shared a room with her too." "I came by to change my shoes, and..." "I found you in the bathroom."
