House (2004–2012): Season 2, Episode 23 - Who's Your Daddy? - full transcript

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

I know that one.

I was at the studio
when Grandfather recorded it.

You thinking about
your mom?

Mama, everything,
my whole Iife.

It was all a Iie.
I never knew you.

I never knew
you were my dad.

Your Iife's
gonna be okay, Leona.

You're a good kid.
You got it together.

You survived the Iast
eight months on your own.

You're not your grandfather
or your mom.



You're not gonna make
the same mistakes they did.

I'm proud
that I'm your father.

CRANDALL: I'm proud
that I'm your father.

GIad I'm getting this chance.

I'm glad I'm getting
this chance. This chance...

FLIGHT ATTENDANT:
Ready for a cookie, darling?

(GASPS)

We gotta go!
Get out of here!

Leona!

(SCREAMS)

CRANDALL: Leona!

(PANTING)

(PHONE RINGING)

HOUSE: (ON MACHINE)
You've reached a number
that has been disconnected



and is no longer in service.

If you feel you've reached
this recording in error,
go with it.

Hang up. On three. One, two...

(MACHINE BEEPS)

CUDDY: House, pick up.

I know it's your day off,
and no doubt got
lots of exciting plans,

but I've got a case.

A 16-year-old girl
presenting with
cardiogenic shock,

no heart attack.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Willis, 5-2-2-1.
Dr. Willis, 5-2-2-1.

CUDDY: Her heart Iooks fine.
ER did a full cardiac workup.

Tox screen's clean,
blood shows no infection.

AII on the top page.
I'm a real good reader.

Personal chart handoff
means there's something else.

I'm hoping
it's not personal.

The guy who
brought the girl in
says he knows you.

I thought I'd met
all your friend.

I was also wondering
if you could take
a Iook at these.

When you have a chance.
No hurry.

It's just a couple of
medical histories.

One with a minor
cancer concern.
No problem.

G-man!

You thought I was gonna do it,
didn't you?
Do I know you?

Come on it's me. Crandall.
Doesn't ring a bell.

Man,
I can't believe...

Unless you mean
Dylan Crandall, a man who
will believe anything.

See, I just made you
believe that I...
You haven't changed.

Heard about your Ieg.
Yeah. Pulled a hamstring
playing Twister.

Just gonna
walk it off.

So who's the girl?
Jesse Baker's granddaughter.

You always said
you'd give your right hand
to play Iike him.

No. I said I'd give
my right hand
to have his Ieft.

Why is she with you?

She Iost her mom in Katrina,
her home, everything.

Wow.

And I'm her father.

Hmm.

Yeah, she Iooks just Iike you,
got the same 'fro.

I wrote a book about Baker.
Hung out with him,
his daughter.

Yeah, that is how
babies are made.

I never knew. She never knew.
Her mom Iied for 16 years.

That's unbelievable.
Yeah.

No, seriously,
I don't believe it.

Her mom was pissed at me
about my book.

I trashed her and her dad.
She wouldn't talk to me,

obviously she's not
gonna tell Leona that...

You're a sucker.
You always were.

Does that mean you're not
gonna help her?
Why wouldn't I?

She's not scamming me.

Acute myocardial infarction?
ER said no. Retest.

Wolff-Parkinson-White
Syndrome?
ER said no. Retest.

And read the damn file.
You just gave them to us.

Delta wave on the EKG...
It's all a no.

Everything about her heart
is healthy.
She's a Katrina victim.

It's better than Crandall.
He's a Katrina-victim victim.

CHASE: I don't think she was
expecting your sympathy.

I think her point was
New Orleans was
a Third World country:

toxins, mold,
sewage in the streets...

What if her heart
is Iike my bike?

Runs Iike crap when I'm
by myself, but I take it to
the mechanic, it runs great.

An arrhythmia.
A one-time event.

What are we
gonna do?

Keep her in her room
on a cardiac monitor till
she has another arrhythmia?

That could be weeks. Months.
Relax.

I happen to know she's going
to have one right after Iunch.
We are golden.

You can't induce an arrhythmia
in someone whose heart
nearly gave out 48 hours ago.

Sure you can.

It's kind of technical,

but you stick
all these cool Iittle wires
inside her somehow...

I mean you shouldn't.
Oh, right.

'Cause it'd be much more
ethical to Iet it happen
in an uncontrolled setting,

'cause there's always
a team of cardiologists

having Iunch
at the next table.
This is Jersey.

She's a minor,
she's gonna need consent.

I'II go talk to him.
Oh, that's an excellent plan.

We'II give him the form,
and tell him it's wrong
and dangerous.

I can handle
a simple consent form.
Okay, I'II be Crandall.

Dr. Cameron.
House, from what you say,
this guy will...

Are you in this scene?

Go.

I need to talk to you about
a procedure we'd Iike to do
on Leona.

"Like to do?"
Is this fun for you?

He's not you,
he's not gonna mock me.
Stay in character.

I'm so scared,
hold me.

In order to figure out
which circuit is misfiring,

we need to map all
the electrical activity
in her heart.

Swear to me on the Bible
you'd do this
if it was your kid.

Goodbye.

To map the electrical pathways
in a heart, we send
electricity through each,

one at a time,
till one fails.

That sounds dangerous.
It's a risk
I'm prepared to take.

If she's got
an electrical problem,

couldn't more electricity
blow her whole system?

Well, Iook who's been watching
Bill Nye, the Science Guy.

The test is perfectly safe.
We do it every day.

AII right.
And you believe me?

I shouldn't do the test?
It's crazy dangerous.

Just sign the damn form.

I'm not crying.
I can handle this.

Then blow your nose,
I need DNA from somewhere.

You're not running
a paternity test.

She's gonna stay around
just Iong enough

to get your bank account,
your credit card numbers,

then she's gonna be
off with her next daddy.

With what she's been through,
why would you assume...

Because of what
she's been through.

Because that's your default
position, always has been.

Because she's still alive.

Raised by a junkie, Iiving on
the streets, that tends to
kick the sweetness out of you.

I figured you'd have mellowed.
Because you're an idiot.

If I Iet you do the test,
it means I don't trust her.

No. It means
I don't trust her.

199,

98...
She's out.

CAMERON:
Heart rhythm's normal.
Insert the first catheter.

CHASE: I'm in.

CAMERON: All heart rhythms
still normal.

CHASE: Haven't zapped her yet.

Send the first
electrical pulse.

Sinoatrial node is normal.

Next.

Got supraventricular
tachycardia.

Stop the current.
Is she hallucinating?

IV push stat, 1 2.5 adenosine.
She's crashing.
BP's plummeting.

Foreman, is she hallucinating?
No, normal waves.

Then the AV node is not
the bad pathway. All that was,
was a heart attack.

Reset her, so we can
find the real problem.

Charging. CIear.

CHASE: Normal rhythm.

Chase, high right atrium,
please.

Her heart's fragile after
that Iast attack.
Chances of tachycardia.

You have my permission
to blame Foreman
at any negligence trial.

CAMERON:
Send the electrical pulse.

That's the one.
She's hallucinating.
It's near the coronary sinus.

Freeze it.

Damaged heart muscle gone.
Cryoablation complete.

EEG's back to normal.
No hallucinations.

She'll be fine by breakfast.

(DOOR OPENS)

Interesting reading.

Those are my top two choices
for sperm donors.

I wanted your medical opinion
on genetics.

They're Iosers.

Medically? Or...

Donor 1 284 Iikes
square dancing.
No one Iikes square dancing.

613, he's been practicing
medicine for five minutes,

calls himself a healer,
Ioves Mozart.

I'm not going dancing
with them,
I'm Iooking for healthy sperm.

He's got four
Iiving grandparents.

Who they are, what they do,
that doesn't matter?

I'm Ieaning toward 613.
Oh, sure, go with
the Jewish number.

1 284 has a cousin that tested
positive for the BRCA gene.

But his mother was negative,
which means so is your baby.

What about the...
Mediterranean/Dutch factor

on the dad's side?
It's not a problem,

because his dad's mom
didn't carry
the thalassemia gene.

Bigger issue is
the jerk and poser genes.

This Mozart Iie.
People can't Iike
classical music?

You're designing a kid,
a Ioser kid. He's already
getting pummeled at recess.

Here, knock yourself out.

Go find sperm that
can beat up 613's kids.

And thanks
for your help.

Pretentiousness is hereditary.

Just 'cause they haven't
found the gene yet...

WOMAN: Could I have
some water, please?

(WOMAN COUGHING)

Hello?

I just need some water.

Is anyone there?

LEONA: Mama?

(SCREAMING)

The second hallucination
means we didn't fix
her heart.

Maybe we
missed something.

Her heart's fine.
If she hallucinated,
it wasn't caused by her heart.

If? The screaming,
the floundering,
it was an hallucination.

What if it wasn't
a hallucination?

We covered...
Not finished.

What if it was
an atypical seizure?
FOREMAN: Seizure?

She saw her mother.
Mother's dead.
Ergo, hallucination.

Anyone wanna explain that?
His Ieg hurts.

Walking takes his mind
off of it.
FIashback!

AII that wind and rain from
the hurricane, post-traumatic
stress syndrome.

Why are you so bent on her
not having a hallucination?

If she did have
a hallucination,

then the heart problem
that we predicted,

found, and fixed was just
a gigantic coincidence.

His Ieg always hurts.
It's getting worse.

HOUSE: What if the heart
isn't a coincidence,

and isn't what caused
the hallucination?

An arrhythmia hurts.

What if her hallucination
was caused by pain?

What if she has a disease that
translates pain into a bizarre
physiological response

Iike a hallucination?
She has an autoimmune disease.

She needs a CRP,
a rheumatoid factor...

I can prove an autoimmune
disease in five minutes.
She needs a PET scan.

You can't test for
autoimmune in a PET...

I'm proving that her
hallucinations are
a consistent response to pain,

which proves that she has
an autoimmune disease.

How do you test
someone's response to pain?

Easy. Hurt them.

It's not gonna hurt at all.

We just need to
make sure you don't move.

I won't.

Okay, give me your arm.
I need to check
your muscle responses.

Okay, turn it over.
Palm upward.

Everything okay?
Yeah.

(GROANS)

What the hell was that?
Diagnostic test.

Cerebral cortex
responded normally.
She's not hallucinating.

You know he's not your father,
don't you?

He's my dad, Mama told me.

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to hurt you.

(GROANING)

House, leave her alone.
Come on.
We both know it's a hustle.

Are the walls closing in?
No. Why are you doing this?

Spiders coming out
of my nose?
Let me out.

House, the test is over.
Dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex...

Give me your hand.
No!

Give me your hand.

HOUSE: Forget him.

He's not the perfect mark,
because he was
the perfect mark.

PIenty of people
got there before you.

He's used up,
tainted, pumped dry.

(SCREAMING)

FOREMAN: She's hallucinating.

(SCREAMING)

She's Iost everything,
and you're breaking fingers.
A new Iow.

Diagnostically,
she needed to be hurt.

I wanted to hurt her.
Win-win.

What I didn't consider was
a threshold to trigger
the hallucinations.

Otherwise, I'd have done
the finger-bending first,

instead of stabbing her twice.
That was cruel.

If her autoimmune disease is
this advanced, usual treatment
is not gonna help.

We don't even know which
autoimmune disease she has.

This could be Lambert-Eaton,
could be Graves'...

Good point.
Let's kill them all at once.

CAMERON: The only way to
do that, is to replace
her entire immune system.

Good point.
Let's do that.

Bone marrow transplant
requires an exact match.

Leona has no siblings.

Good point. She's all alone,
poor thing. No one in
the whole wide world.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

JESSE: (ON CD) I asked for this tuned.
Did you get
this instrument tuned?

If my daughter needs
bone marrow,

why are you Iooking
in a bone marrow registry?

Because that's where
they keep the bone marrow.

I'm her father.

How does somebody
who believes
absolutely anything

become a non-fiction writer?
Test my bone marrow.

Here's how this is gonna end:
One day, you'II be sitting
at your computer,

writing one of your Iittle
music books, and your daughter
will come home

with a big, angry policeman,
who'II throw you
in jail because,

"Daddy touched my poozle."

Test me.
Happy to.

Just my marrow.
I'm not authorizing
a paternity test.

You're that afraid
of the truth?
I know the truth.

Easy-Lay Fay's truth was that
she needed a bus ticket home
to see her sick grandma.

You gave her 100 bucks.
She bought weed.

I know, because
I told her you'd go
for the sick-grandma story.

If our friendship
means anything to you...

Come on.
Do you know me at all?

If you do the test,
one of two things happens.

Either you're right
or I'm right. If you're right,
I'II be miserable.

And if I'm right,
I'II hate myself
'cause I didn't trust her.

Either way I Iose.

They don't itch,
not raised.

He's had his MMR,
no one's sick at school.

His father took him camping.
We caught two spiders.

You didn't tell me
about the spider.
Did you get a new couch?

Do you think there might be
some sort of toxin...

What color is it?

Red.

Is that where you watch
your cartoons
after you take your bath?

Mmm-hmm.

(SNEEZES)
Fall asleep sometimes?

Yes.
BIess you.

Need you. Now.
Yes, mistress.

I'II write you a prescription
for one of these.
Just wet and apply.

You didn't tell anyone else
what I'm doing?
Not a soul.

Wilson?

Cameron, maybe you
mentioned it to her?

No. I'm a really
good secret-keeper.

I've never told anybody
that Wilson wets his bed.

Oh, you tricked me.

Part of the protocol
for in vitro fertilization

is twice-daily injections
of menotropins.

I can't do it myself.

Turn around.

No clever comments
about bending over?
Not unless you want me to.

I'm just not used to
House the professional.

I was just thinking about
what your mother Iooked Iike.

'Cause your father
obviously chose her
for breeding purposes...

Shut up.
Natural selection sucks.

We pick our mates based on
breast size, cars they drive.

They did autopsies on married
couples, found a correlation
in pancreas size.

We're hardwired to pick
for stupid reasons.

You have the chance
to pick for smart reasons.

I think the Germans
had a similar theory
about 60 years ago.

I'm not advocating wiping out
entire races, I'm just saying

you don't wanna mate
with the first plastic cup
that buys you a drink.

I'm pretty sure you got that.

Microbes can be sneaky.

(GROANS)

Thanks.

Twice a day.
This is gonna be fun.

I got it.

So why were you
friends with this guy?

We were 20 years old.
He had a car.

If he'd been a woman,
I would have married him.

Is he a match?
No.

Lying girl Iucked out,
we found one in the registry.

Is he the dad?

I don't think so.
You didn't run the test?

Said I wouldn't.

Okay,
so either you Iied,

or he has pictures
of you being nice.

Stop the radiation.

What the hell
is that?

I have no idea.

Lab results on the black ooze.
You're not gonna believe it.

She pooped out
of her mouth.

The sample contained stool
and digested blood.

How did you guess?
'Cause it oozed.

If it was in her stomach,
it would've sprayed.

If it was in her Iungs,
she would have coughed.

This oozed, as in squeezed,
as in reverse peristalsis.
Who's hungry?

Mexican takeout?

In order for digested blood
to be in her intestines,

she had to have
internal bleeding.

CAMERON: Yeah, but for
whatever was in her intestines

to come back up,
there had to be a blockage.

Liver failure.

There'd be no proteins
to clot the blood,

so it would Ieak
into her stomach,
mess up her intestines.

Means, oops, we were wrong,
because no autoimmune disease

shuts down
an organ in two hours.

We need to do a Iiver biopsy,
find out what
the real problem is.

Hey.

Need to talk to you.

The good news is, she doesn't
have an autoimmune condition,

so she doesn't need
a bone marrow transplant,

and we were able to stop
the irradiation in time.

The bad news,
she has potty mouth.

Her Iiver is failing which has
made her digestive system
go in reverse.

It's actually much worse
than it sounds.

We need to do a Iiver biopsy.

I don't know what's gonna
happen when we stick
a needle into her Iiver.

She could die
right then and there.

Ease it.
Tell me what to do.

No inside information
on this one.

Look, Crandall,
three days ago, you didn't
even know this girl.

If she'd been hit by a bus,
you wouldn't Iose
a moment's sleep.

There are people all over
this hospital
in just as much trouble,

just as not related to you.
You telling me
I shouldn't care?

Prepping me to handle it
for when she dies?

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR OPENS)

It's brown,
it's Iumpy,

I'm going to heave all over
my desk.
Chicken mole.

Twenty-one herbs
and spices.

I find it very comforting,
you defending a man
you haven't seen in years.

To know my friend,
no matter what, will always be
my champion, my protector.

I'm not protecting him,
I'm smacking her.

The modesty
of the true hero.

Push me and I'II Iet her die,
just so you'II stop
annoying me.

Here's my theory.
You're jealous.

He's maturing, he's accepting
responsibility, you're
emotionally stuck at 17.

He's manufacturing
responsibility,
he's not maturing.

He hasn't changed at all.

So, then why do you care?
That black ooze we saw?

That was a bowel movement

out of her mouth.

You're trying to end
this conversation
by grossing me out?

I'm an oncologist.

Half my patients
have their skin sloughing off.

Why are you so worried
about this guy?

He was having a rough time
with his girlfriend.

He was in Iove,
he's always in Iove,

he wanted to marry her.

And I thought she was flaky,
was sending mixed signals.

So you gave him advice,
and she dumped him.

No. I told him
that I would talk to her.

And you blew it?
Technically...

I was doing him a favor.
She was nuts.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(STOPS MUSIC)

(BEEPER GOES OFF)

Stop the biopsy.

I'm right at her Iiver.
It's House. He says stop.

(DOOR OPENS)

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

Check it out.

Look, please tell me
you didn't stop the biopsy
to play us some tunes.

The Ieft hand is very subtle,
very delicate.

This girl is dying.

Be dying a Iot faster if
I Iet you do that obviously
unnecessary biopsy.

Now, Iisten.

JESSE: (ON CD) I asked
for this tuned. Did you get
this instrument tuned?

My God. Grandpa was
an angry drunk.
If only we'd known!

Here's how to become
a great artist.
First, get miserable.

Misery drives you to become
a great artist, but the art
does nothing for your misery,

which drives you to drugs,
which makes you
a Iousy artist.

And this is not Iousy.

You saying he didn't do drugs?
Not when he played this.

Something was screwing
with his personality.

Yeah. Drugs and alcohol
don't do that.

And that note that he says
is out of tune, it's not.

Which means that something
is screwing with his
aural perception, too.

Now, what happens
when you add all of that
to the Iiver disease,

which he supposedly died of?

Too much iron. He could have
had hemochromatosis.

That's genetic.

Unless you can tell me
Miles Davis
couldn't play stoned...

PIayed better
when he wasn't.

I think. I mean,
no one knows for sure.

I'II get Leona
a TIBC and serum ferritin.

We can test this
in three minutes.

So, what is she,
Foreman,

a Iight-skinned black chick
or a dark-skinned white chick?

I'm not sure.
Can we hear the music again?

It's too early to see jaundice
from her Iiver.

True. But this is
a photograph of Leona
when she was 13 years old.

She's darker now.

She's been Iiving on
the streets for eight months.

No tan Iine.

So, unless those streets
she's been Iiving on
are indoor streets,

I'm thinking she's got
iron deposits in melanin.

Both byproducts
of hemochromatosis, just Iike
Granddad used to make.

SQUID exam to calculate
the amount of iron
in her blood,

and treat her with
deferoxamine.
She'II be fine by Iunch.

'Cause, you see,
I was wrong before
about the breakfast.

FOREMAN:
There's the iron. Lots of it.

I'm not gonna get this job,
am I?

It's a done deal. I knew it
the moment I saw you.

Interview's
just a formality.

House, what are you...
Lisa Cuddy,
this is Patrick Linehan.

Patrick's gonna be
the new intern rotating
in my department.

I didn't even know
you were Iooking for one.
Nice to meet you.

(SNORTS)

Sorry. I Iaugh
when I'm nervous.

Bet you've been doing that
your whole Iife, huh?

What kind of medicine are you
interested in, Patrick?

Cancer, infectious disease.
The big devils.

I think that medicine
has become
too institutionalized.

We need to send a message
to our patients
that we're just Iike them.

I mean, we're all people.

"We're all people."
I Iike that.

(SNORTS)

See, she's
all hard science, facts.

I Iike to know
a person's hopes and dreams.

What kind of music
do you Iike, Patrick?
Actually, I don't...

I'm a Mozart man.

He says what I feel
but can't express.

I'm Iate for a meeting.

You see, this is why
the face-to-face interview
is so important.

You gotta know who
you're getting in bed with.

Get him out of here.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Deferoxamine
is a chelating agent.

It binds to the iron,
so that her Iiver
can get rid of it.

Once the iron's
out of the Iiver,

it's finally evacuated by
the body in the form of urine.

Should be quick and painless.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

CHASE: Leona?
What's happening?

Crash cart.
She's not getting any air.

(COUGHING)

(LEONA CHOKING)

CHASE: CT showed her lungs
are Swiss cheese.

Ventilator's helping,
but at this rate,
her time's basically up.

We developed a theory,
hemochromatosis.

Like good scientists,
we tested that theory.
We proved that theory.

We acted based on that proof
and we treated her.

As a result of which,
she is on the verge of death.

Is it just me, or have we
discovered a flaw
in the scientific method?

Walk me through it
step by step.
What is supposed to happen

when you give someone
deferoxamine?

It's a chelating agent.
And what does
the chelating do?

It removes excess iron
from the Iiver.
How?

The iron is heavy,
it gets stuck. Deferoxamine
is Iike a Iubricant.

It makes the iron slick,
so it can move around again.

Moves around where?

It's supposed to be discharged
through waste.

Her waste system
is a Iittle screwy right now.

Means the iron can't go
where it wants to go.

What if it moved to her Iungs?

Then whatever's in her Iungs
Iikes iron, bound with it,
started poking holes.

What Iikes iron?

Oxygen attaches itself
to iron, which increases
her chance of infection.

No, we started
massive antibiotics
prior to the radiation.

Some neurodegenerative
diseases Iike iron.
MRI was clean.

No iron deposits on the brain.
Fungus Iikes iron.

No objections to that one?

If a fungus is doing all this,
she's dead.

There are 25 antifungals,
if we don't know
which fungus...

When in doubt, go broad.

Most common is aspergillus.
Continue to ventilate
her Iungs.

Get her on a voriconazole drip
and hope she has aspergillus.

(DOOR OPENS)

The process is confidential.
You violated his privacy.

But how did you even...

I Iooked up "Ioser"
in the cryobank.

You wouldn't go within
100 miles of that idiot.

Yet you're willing
to have his baby.

I'm not Iooking for a date,
I'm tired of Iooking.

(GROANS)

Cotton ball?

I don't care if you marry
this guy, date this guy,
go through his garbage,

but you should know.

Genes matter.
Who you are matters.

Find someone you trust.

Someone Iike you?

Someone you Iike.

Listen... Oh, sorry. Okay.

It's not what you think.
I rub his Ieg.

Oh, Ingrid.

Hi.

Okay, you feel guilty about
stealing the guy's girl,
I get that.

And I'm glad,
it's a good thing.

But you did
the paternity test.

And either the paternity test
comes back negative

and you shove it
in the guy's face,

or it comes back positive,
and you shut up,
and your Ieg starts hurting.

Or I never ran the test.

Not what you think.
CAMERON:
Leona's Iungs collapsed.

The treatment's not working.
We've got the wrong fungus.

You can stop.
She ruined it.

Three rules
for hunting fungus:
Iocation, Iocation, Iocation.

Crandall says she was Iiving
at the children's shelter
in Ridgeland.

Okay.
The one thing we know for sure

is she was not Iiving
in the children's shelter
in Ridgeland.

Why would he Iie about that?
HOUSE: He wouldn't.

But he'd believe her story
about the sweet Iittle girl
trying to do the right thing.

We can't ask Leona
where she was.
She's intubated.

(MAKING MUFFLED SOUNDS)

Don't try to talk.

You got a big medical thing
in your mouth.

Just blink
if you understand me.

Fantastic.

BIink if you Iied to Crandall
about everything.

You picked up
a fungus somewhere.

If you were Iiving
at this shelter,
Iike you told your new daddy,

then I got nothing to go on
and you will die.

So, did you
Iie to Crandall?

You're a Iousy con artist.

First rule of the game
is know your mark.

Once you got Crandall to bite
on the papa thing,
you had him.

You could have told him
that you were servicing

AI-Qaeda suicide bombers
for crack,

and this guy would still have
Iet you pick out the colors
in your new room.

Did you Iie to Crandall?

Where were you?

And the winner is...

Oh, you read it,
I just get so nervous
at these things.

Recording studio?
She read the book.

She knew how much Crandall
hated that place,
what went on there.

She overplayed her hand.
CAMERON: She was desperate.

If she didn't sell this,
she was stuck in hell.

Recording studio
doesn't help us medically.

Recording studios.

Why are these buildings
different from
all other buildings?

Sound-proofing.
Absorbs sound,
also absorbs moisture.

Where there's moisture,
a Iot of it,
say Katrina-moist...

Zygomycosis.
Only occurs at
the highest Ievels of mold.

Start her on an IV drip of
amphotericin B with
colony stimulating factors.

She'II be fine by

dinner.

She's gonna be fine.
She said
she'd never go back there.

She Iied to you.
She's your kid.
Get used to it.

Thank you
for the injections.

You're welcome.

You came all the way up here
just to tell me that?

No.

Pretty much normal.
Liver function tests are good.

Thanks, G-man.

What makes you think
you'd be a good father?

I don't know.

It feels right.

It feels good.

Well, at Ieast
you got a good reason.

Feels good
is a good enough reason.

(LEONA CHOKING)

What's happening?
She's choking.
She can't breathe.

Get him out of here, will you?
NURSE: Come on...

Out!

Quick, the curtain!

You're breathing on your own.
The choking's normal.

I Iied to him.
I ran a paternity test.

Your Iie was a bad one.

He is your dad.

We're even.

(PHONE RINGING)

WILSON: (ON MACHINE)
Your machine's broken,
there's not even a message.

House? Are you there? Okay.

See you Monday, I guess.
