All language subtitles for House - [5x11] - Joy to the World

CHILDREN: (SINGING)
Joy to the world
The Lord has come

Let Earth receive her king

Let every heart
prepare him room

And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing

And heaven,
and heaven and nature sing

This sucks.
This is why we need to make
a statement, you know?

I don't think that...

What? You afraid we'll
end up in detention?

Well, yeah.
That's what
teachers do.

(CHUCKLES)

They're not going to send
all of us to detention.

Mr. Henderson
is totally lame,

and this is our best chance
to inform him of that fact.

You don't think he's lame?

Well, yeah, but...

Then what's the problem?

Okay.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER ON MIC:
The Robert Page Academy
vocal jazz ensemble.

(PIANO PLAYING)

ALL: (SINGING)
Chestnuts roasting
on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping
at your nose

Yuletide carols
being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up
like Eskimos

Everybody knows

Mr. Henderson's a stupid...

(PEOPLE CHUCKLING)

I can't believe
she fell for that.

Why'd you do that...

I don't feel so good.

(PEOPLE GASPING)

(COUGHS)

Sixteen-year-old female gets
pranked, also gets visual
hallucinations and vomiting.

Turns out to be
a failing liver.

Why have Foreman's breasts
suddenly started to droop?

Large breasts are a classic
symptom of you letting
Foreman take vacation days

so he can finish his
FDA reports before
the end of the year.

When are you
taking vacation?

Hepatic and neurological
involvement...

So, I understand
Foreman's absence.
Your presence, not so much.

I'm bringing in a case.
You may have noticed me
doing that before.

I've noticed you
a lot of recently.

It's almost as if you
have a sexual interest
in someone here.

Like, say, Taub?

Well, Taub might think I like
him if I stayed, which is
why I'm going to do this.

Somehow, I don't think
that was really about me.

Wilson's Disease.

THIRTEEN:
Ceruloplasmin's normal.

You got a Christmas present.

"Greg, made me think of you."

That's funny.
It usually explodes
after I do that.

Alcohol abuse?

She's 16.

The kind of boozing
that destroys your
liver that early,

her parents or teachers
would notice.

Wow. "Manual of
the Operations of Surgery
by Joseph Bell."

You're throwing that away?

Twice.

Someone's screwing with me,
forget it.

Yeah, gifting antique
medical texts.
Oldest gag in the book.

Handwriting's kind of girly.
You got an admirer, House?

I said, forget the book.

Why'd they pick on her?

She's an overachiever,
high grades, she volunteers,
she's a big target.

I'm assuming literally,

depending on where
this school falls on
the Heathers scale.

You think the kids
slipped her something?
Their teachers grilled them.

When did teachers
ever know how to
motivate their students?

KUTNER: What did
you do to Natalie?

It's all my fault.
I didn't stop her
from being a total pig.

(CHILDREN CHUCKLING)

What are you...
Your friend's
liver is failing.

We're doing what we can,
but she still might
need a transplant.

She could die,
unless you tell us
what you gave her.

Just tell him.
Shut up.

We gave her some shrooms.

We took some ourselves,
we just wanted to make her
loosen up a little.

How thoughtful of you.
You got any left?

They're in Simon's locker.

This was your idea?

No way. I didn't
give her anything.

Right, you just knew about it
and let them do it.

Poisonous mushrooms
and hallucinogenic ones
are different.

Not if they're not
dried correctly.

Get back to school.
You better hope
we got to her in time.

What?

Am I going to get in trouble?
Should we apologize
or something?

Yes, you should.
Natalie's on
the third floor.

Who's down there?
Mr. Ravitz.

Where's the woman
I spoke to last week?

The trial patient
with the advanced symptoms.

She dropped out.

She okay?

Not health related.

She just wants
to drop out.

Why?

She didn't say.
And I only break
into the houses

of very special patients
to get to understand
them better.

I do good today, boss?

No rigidity, no cogwheeling.
So absolutely,
I'd call that good.

Great. Thanks.

Your clipboard.

Keep it.

KUTNER: This place actually
smells of evil.

TAUB: Where do you work again?

Why would House
throw out a book worth
hundreds of dollars?

To make you
ask that question.

Can you really
put a price tag on
screwing with people?

Can you get us into
Natalie Soellner's locker
while we're here?

House always has an agenda.
Just screwing with us isn't...

Yeah, he'd never do that.
Oh, wait, he already did,
last year.

Remember the Secret Santa
gift he got himself?

He was making us fight over
who could get him
the best present.

This time, he's just
making us wonder.

No animosity,
no ugly competition.
I think it's a real present.

If it's real, then House
really was freaked.

And if it affects him,
eventually it'll affect us.

Uh-oh.

Maybe it wasn't those kids
who poisoned Natalie.

Maybe it was
Natalie herself.

I didn't try to kill myself.

Then why'd you have
all those painkillers?

In case I get
a headache.

Well, maybe,
you took a few too many.

Do you have any kids?
No.

But high school wasn't
all that different when
I was your age.

Teenagers can be
incredibly mean. I know
what you're going through.

(SCOFFS)

I bet you were cool.
You're pretty.

You're pretty, too.

I'm fat. I'm a loser.

They all hate me.

You know what
they did last year?

They took these photos
of me for the yearbook.

But it wasn't.
It was for this website
making fun of me,

calling me a pig.

Forget about them.

Let's just
make you better.

What's the point?

Acetylcysteine
could save her liver,
but we have to act fast.

If there's any
chance that she took
all those pills...

There's no chance.

Okay.

She was the happiest,
sweetest little girl.

And a year ago,
she hits puberty,

and it's like this
secretive little stranger
moved into her room.

I tried to talk to her
about what she's
going through, but...

Give her the treatment.

Kimberley, you think
that she tried to...

I don't know
what to think.

If it's a subpoena,
he's gotten that
kind of present before.

It was a book.

That narrows it down.

Just look for someone
who knows how to read

or has been to
a bookstore.

Most bookstores don't carry
Joseph Bell on surgery.

Did it have a note?

"Greg, made me
think of you."

Green wrapping paper.

How did you know that?

What is it?

It's nothing.

Yes, when
something's nothing,

the natural response
is to guess the color of
the paper it's wrapped in

and then descend
into stunned silence.

Irene Adler.
Christmas 2001.

Sarcoid symptoms,
but she didn't respond
to methotrexate.

I've never seen him
so obsessed.

He saved her
with a last-minute
Wegener's diagnosis.

But the hours he put in,
I thought it would kill him.

And then, well,
he fell for her.

But it was too soon
after Stacy and...

It sounds silly,
but Irene was
the one who got away.

Really?

No, you idiots.
House is just
screwing with you.

You think there's some
woman with a mysterious

green wrapping
paper trademark?

Then how did you guess...

I could be wrong.

It's possible a secret admirer
gave House the same book
I gave him last Christmas,

(PAGER BEEPING)

And the same paper
I wrapped it in,

and the note I wrote.

We gotta go.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

TAUB: Heartbeat?

One-fifty.

BP 180 over 110.
Crackling three-quarters
of the way up.

(NATALIE GASPING)

At least this means
she didn't try to
kill herself.

Scratch the hallucinations,
that's from the mushrooms.

Leaves liver failure
and now pulmonary edema.

And you standing there
beseechingly.

Yes, I was gonna
stalk you at home,

but it was a busy week
and your office is closer.

Thirteen and Foreman
were busy drug-trialing

and we needed an answer
on the overdose,
so we called her in.

She's just updating us.

Convenient.
Update's done.

This is a good experience
for me as my parents
never got divorced.

Theories?
Glue sniffing.

KUTNER: Effects on the lungs
would have been immediate.

House, we all know
what's going on here.

Cuddy gave you that present.

No.

HOUSE: Infections?

No fever,
no polys in the sputum.

I think...

I think she loves you.

HOUSE: I told you
to lay off the present.

And the LSD.

We got distracted by
the painkillers, toxins
are still the most likely...

Just tell her
how you feel.

If you won't, then I will.
I'll walk right down there.

Damn it, love like this
needs to fly free.

(KUTNER SNICKERS)

You talked to Wilson.

He has very girly
handwriting, by the way.

I knew I should have
just wrapped a new present.

You said the patient
volunteered. Where?

Pleasant Valley.

Soup kitchen in Trenton.

Thirteen and Kutner,
go search the home
and the school.

Taub, you take the anal
swabbing of the fragrant
and contagious homeless men.

Why don't you
hang out in the video store

and tell everyone
Kevin Spacey's Keyser Soze?

By the way,
that ending really
made no sense at all.

You had my present for a year
and didn't even open it?

I had no way of knowing
there was an expensive
book inside.

Completely meaningless
prank, even for you.

Stealing your ice cream is
a completely meaningless,
albeit delicious, prank.

Observing my team's reactions
to unexplained phenomena

could have been
pretty useful.

Of all the ways to mess
with people, why give
yourself an imaginary present?

Have you checked
the prices for firemen
strippers recently?

Yes.

The holidays.
They're hard for you,
I get it.

You see the people
around you giving
and receiving gifts,

having sustained,
meaningful relationships.
And since you can't,

something deep in your
subconscious makes you create
the appearance of a gift.

Sad.

You really passed
your psych rotation?

It's too bad you can't just be
nice to people. You could
get a real present that way.

If I wanted gifts,

I would just look deep
into my patient's eyes
and act like you.

"Oh, I'm so sorry
you're dying, Mrs. Moron.

"Of course I'll sleep with
you. What I lack in skill,
I can make up for in..."

You'd just wind up
insulting her. Perhaps
calling her Mrs. Moron.

Right. 'Cause I'm physically
incapable of being polite.

Being kind
in a sustained,
meaningful way? No.

Oh, I get it.
You're trying to get me
to prove you wrong,

then I'm gonna be nice
to all my patients all
through the holiday season

and then Mr. Potter
won't steal Tiny Tim's
porridge. I'm totally on it.

Yeah, that actually is
what I'm trying to do.

And the pathetic part is,
it's not going to work.

You're right.

I gotta stop being
such a jerk.

Oops!

Kind of undercut
myself there.

(MAN CHATTERING ON TV)

Janice?

I'm Remy. I'm...
Yeah, I remember you.

I heard you left the trial.

Yeah.

If there's some way
I could help...

It was that doctor.
The one that was
running the test.

Dr. Foreman.
Yeah.

He's a great neurologist.
He's a great guy.

(SNICKERS) You like him?

Why don't you?

I told him that those
injections were making me
sick in my stomach,

and he just
gave me antacid.

We were warned that
nausea's a side effect,

and giving you antacid
is all he really could do.

No. He told me,
"Get over it."

With or without
these drugs,

I don't have a long time.

I'm not gonna spend it
being his guinea pig.

TAUB: House.

It's tuberculosis.

You got that from
an anal swab?
Man, you're good.

There was a more
subtle clue.

Homeless guy,
uncontrollably
hacking up blood.

Cough's lasted two months.
He was cachectic.

Unless you could
tie him to the patient...

Yes, again,
if only there was
some subtle clue,

like the fact that he was
standing next to her in
the soup line for a week.

I hate spunk.

TB can cause liver failure,
lung symptoms.

Fits.

Start her on the
standard regimen.

You don't have
clinic duty today.

Who says it's a duty?

Hi. I'm Greg.

Hi. I'm Whitney.

Hi, Whitney,
how can I help you?

I have a terrible headache.

Oh, I'm sorry
to hear that.

We'll get you fixed up.
Is there anything else
you need?

Bottled water?
Coffee? Mint tea?

No, but that's so nice.

(CHUCKLES) Usually, the clinic
doctors are kind of rushed.

If you can't be nice,
why be a doctor?

So, where do you
feel the pain?

In the back of
my head, here.
Uh-huh.

It's Beccaria's sign.
It'll be gone by your
third trimester.

Oh, I'm not in school.

Neither is your fetus.

Oh, God.

You didn't know
you were pregnant?

How do...
You know that just
from the headache?

How do I know?

I missed my period,
I got fat and threw up.

Oh, no, wait,
that's how you know.

What?

I know because of
the tight shirt stretched
over the swollen boobs,

the salt craving you
imported into the clinic,

the motion sickness patch
that doesn't do anything

for the kind of sickness
that you feel in the morning.

I'm a virgin.
So is my fiancé.

I believe him.

Aren't there other ways
I could get pregnant?

Like sitting on
a toilet seat?

Absolutely. There would need
to be a guy sitting between
you and the toilet seat,

but, yes, absolutely.

And I was doing so well.

Natalie?

(CONVULSING)

Oh, God. Natalie.

CUDDY: She's having a seizure.

Put her on her side.
Nurse!

Is this from the TB?

Not with a supple neck.
I don't know what this is.

Four milligrams lorazepam.

Liver, lungs, and now brain,
which has mysteriously
reappeared.

Speaking of mysteriously
reappeared...

Her ALT is 20 times normal,
transaminases and PTs, way up.

She's going to lose her liver.
We gotta get her on
the transplant list.

You keep showing up.
You also keep leaving.

It's possible that you have
the hots for me, but really,
really hate this kid.

It's also remotely possible
I have that reversed.

She's a nice kid,
I want to make
sure she's okay.

Hepatic fibrosis.

Normal complement level,
normal-sized liver.

She remind you of you?

No, you weren't
a loser in high school.

You had every Tom,
Dick and Hershel
wet dreaming about you.

But she could be
making you think
of another helpless,

chubby little girl
that you recently met.

You're not really making
this about the baby
I tried to adopt.

HOUSE: It's been a few weeks.

Just enough time
to get over hurt feelings.

Natalie's 16.

I think you're confusing being
maternal with being human.

If we hadn't ruled out
the mushrooms...

Maybe we shouldn't have.

Forget toxic,
think allergic.

Severe mold allergy
could cause liver failure,
respiratory arrest,

and encephalopathy.

She ate the shrooms
days ago. There's no
way she'd still be sick.

Unless it also gave her
a fungal infection. Give her
a prick test and antifungals.

Hey. Thank you for the gift.
I really appreciate it.

I spoke to Janice.

She okay?

Yeah.

Her nausea, she said you
told her, like, "Get over it"?

And?

Nausea isn't something
you can overcome
with sheer willpower.

Which is why I didn't
prescribe willpower,
I prescribed antacids.

She can't handle that,
she'd have to leave
the trial anyway.

Just call her,
say you're sorry,
she'll come back.

No.

God, you're acting
like House now.

No, I'm not acting like House,

which is exactly
why I don't need
to apologize.

I'm not being cruel,
I'm not being manipulative.

You said the same thing
to me when I told you
I was having a hard time.

And it worked.

She's a 40-year-old woman
who's falling apart,

physically and emotionally.
She's dying.

Look, I know seeing
the Ghost of your
Christmas Future is tough,

but the only way I can
help her is to make sure
she follows her regimen,

not by becoming
her life coach.

You're not acting like House.
You are like him.

Dr. House?

This is my fiancé, Geoff.

She says you told her
you can get pregnant from
sitting on a toilet seat.

I said those words,
but with a particular
inflection.

I knew it wasn't true.

Is there any other way?
Isn't it possible?

There was a reported case
of a Civil War soldier.

He was shot
in the testicles,

and the musket ball carried
the non-musket ball

into the uterus of
a woman working in
a neighboring field.

Nine months later,
a miracle child was born.

Also, maybe she
cheated on you.

We made a promise.

We do other stuff in bed.

Couldn't some of
his sperm have made
it up there somehow?

More likely it came from
the guy whose penis made
it up there somehow,

but sure,
anything's possible.

I want a paternity test.

Tell him that amnios
are dangerous this
early on in the pregnancy.

Are they?
Who cares?
He doesn't know.

We'll do
the paternity test.

No reaction.

That's bad?

If you had a mold allergy,
it would explain your
symptoms.

KUTNER: We'll find out
what's wrong, don't worry.

And I know some things
are hard to talk about
with your parents around,

but kids can be really mean.
There are people you
can talk to, programs...

I'll be okay.

You're in good spirits.
You feeling better?

No. I was just
doing my homework.

I'm such a dork,
I guess that cheers me up.

Parents brought it?

No, Simon did.

The jockey kid
in your class?

Yeah. He just left.

(INTERCOM BEEPS)

Security.

I was just bringing
her homework.

You helped bully this little
girl and completely refused
to accept responsibility.

No way you came here
out of compassion.
That only leaves guilt.

What did you do to her?
Nothing.

Stop lying or
I'll take the drugs
I found in your locker

down to the cops,
you slimy little jerk.

This kid didn't do
anything to you.

This isn't about me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it,
you were bullied yourself
when you were in school.

Take it easy.
I wasn't bullied.

Right. The Indian foster kid
whose parents were
shot in front of him.

You were clearly
Homecoming King.

Let's try this again.
Just tell me...

Honestly,
you don't understand.

(SIGHS)

We used to be friends.

And I'd be friends
with her now if people
wouldn't make fun of me.

There's nothing you could
tell us that'll help?

Did she mention
she used to drink a lot?

No. How do you know that?

Look, don't tell
anyone, all right?

I have my brother's ID
and I kind of supply people.

I used to get her
a few bottles of
vodka each week.

Why'd you stop?

She got her own ID.

Said it was cheaper
buying it herself.

You can go.

I think we got our diagnosis.
Our little girl's a drunk.

I don't drink.
I did back then, but...

You could die.

We can't get you on the
transplant list until we know
why your liver is failing.

Alcohol abuse
would explain that.

The seizures could be
from withdrawal.

I haven't drunk
in six months.

I didn't even drink
that much back then.

A couple of vodka
bottles a week?

I didn't open half of them.

I just bought them
because Simon was
selling them.

We used to be friends,
and that's, like,
the only way

I could get him
to even talk to me.

Then why did you stop
buying from him? He said
you got your own ID.

I don't know.

See, that's not
a good answer.

Remember when you asked me
if I had any kids?

I don't. I don't know,
maybe it has nothing
to do with it,

but I was good at school,
good at work, lousy at life.

I screwed up every
relationship I ever had.

I thought,
why would I want to
bring a child into this?

But then I got older and...

How you feel now will pass.
Don't let it screw up
your whole life.

It's already screwed up.

My asthma. They said
they'd fix it, but it didn't
make any difference at all.

Well, sometimes
doctors make mistakes, Anna,

and then we have to try
twice as hard to fix them.

You using your inhaler?

All the time.
Go through one a week.

You sure you're
using it right?

Do I look like an idiot?

No.

Why don't you show me
how your inhaler works?

Jerk.

What was that all about?

Jamaican chicken recipes.

The parents said no
to the benzos.

But I still think
Natalie's not being
honest with me.

So she's willing to die
to cover up some boozing?

She's very depressed.

She feels like she deserves
what the other kids are
dishing out on her.

I think she either
wants to die

or she wants the attention
that dying gives her.

I have no idea why you
care so much. Tell Kutner
to start her on benzos.

House, the parents just...

Uh-uh. Not the alcoholism,

the seizures, totally
different. Don't need
their approval for that.

You sure you want to know?

If it makes it any easier,
I'm going to tell you anyway.

We want to know.

(EXHALING)

What does it say?

Don't leave.

You go home last night?

I meant to, but started
reading this file,
just couldn't put it down.

Let me ask you.

That patient who dropped out,
the one I told you about?

Yeah.

Do you think I should
pursue it more?

No. Patients drop out,
that's why we start
with hundreds.

I just thought,

if there's an easy way to
make the people who drop off
come back, then why not?

They're not people.
Really?

I thought the zombie trials
were all completed during
Phase Two.

You can't see the patients
as people. You can't even
see them as patients.

They're numbers.

Look.

A friend of mine
has this disease.

I don't want to know.
There's a reason this
is double-blind.

Any personal stake
we have skews the study.

Science is not about
human relationships,
it's about results.

But you know that.
You work for House.

Why do you think
I brought you on
as my partner?

(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
Dr. Taub!

She was talking to me
and then she just passed out.

Her heart's slowing down.

Can you fix it?

Can you fix it?
I'm trying.

Push one amp atropine.

(DOOR OPENS)

We've been waiting here
for six hours.
Am I the father or not?

No, but she also
didn't cheat on you.

Normally, sperm meets egg,

DNA meets DNA,
goes back to her place,
cells divide.

Nine months later,
joy is bundled.

That's normally.

Abnormally, an egg could
have two naturally
occurring gene mutations

that don't naturally
occur together.

Spontaneous calcium spike
could prep the egg for
fertilization without sperm.

And a division mistake
could let the egg split up

without ever needing
male DNA at all.

Parthenogenesis.
A baby without a daddy.

In humans, it's only
ever been theorized,
and it was never proved.

Until now.

Mommy, baby.
Your daughter has
only maternal DNA.

I personally checked this
five times. In seven
months, you will have

a virgin birth.

Merry Christmas.

I've got to tell you
about this clinic patient.

Natalie's liver's
continuing to fail.
And now bradycardia.

Atropine isn't keeping
the heart rate up,

we're going to have to
put her on a pacemaker.

Alcohol withdrawal would cause
her heart to race, not crawl.

There's nothing structurally
wrong with her heart.

EKG, echo, electrolyte
panel are all normal.

Multiple endocrine syndrome?

Free T4's normal.
Hypothalamic brain tumor?

Didn't come up
on the CT scan.

It's hitting all her organs.
Could be the blood.
What's her Alk-Phos?

Three hundred.

It can't be leukemia.

CUDDY: High Alk-Phos could
also be from liver failure.

She's a teenager, means
bone growth and destruction
could throw it off.

Maybe. But it's higher
than you'd expect.

Start her on chemo.

We'll do a bone marrow
biopsy to confirm.

Why are you ordering tests
instead of treatment?

Her heart and liver
are about to give up.
Do whatever you need to.

Why are you
so attached
to this girl?

It's your call.

He doesn't want us
to treat her.

If it's leukemia,
even if we kill
every cancer cell,

her heart and liver
are too far gone.

A double transplant.

With brain involvement?
The committee won't
even open the file.

There's no reason
to put a dying girl

through a painful treatment
if it can't save her.

He's being kind.

I'll arrange a biopsy.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING ON TV)

FOREMAN: Mrs. Burke?

We're conducting
another trial in
tandem with yours.

Same drug, lower dose.

The nausea would be less.

I did some checking,
I can switch you.

Here's the forms
if you want back in.

What if we're wrong?

Maybe we shouldn't have
overlooked autoimmunes.

High sed rate.

We went over this.

Normal complement level.

So it isn't hepatic fibrosis,
it could still be
microangiopathic vasculitis.

With high dose steroids,
we might be able to reverse...

You run a hospital that
treats thousands of
patients every day.

Some of them die.
Every day.

If you're gonna get
this worked up over
every one of them...

Yes.

BRB.

What is it?

Thank you from a patient.

For you?

I saved her marriage

by showing that her pregnancy
was a result of
parthenogenesis.

Human parthenogenesis?
You proved...

Yep.

It's unbelievable.
But I personally
checked it five times.

How did you
check it five times?

The cycler's broken.
You would have
had to send it out.

It would have taken...
Oh, yeah.

That does sound impossible
now that I think of it.

I guess the better explanation
is that the paternity test
showed she cheated,

so I faked the whole
parthenogenesis thingy.

CUDDY: What? Why?

I win.

You faked a scientific miracle
just to win a bet with Wilson?

More an argument.

I realize it would have
been simpler to just
fake the paternity test,

but, hey, Christmas
spirit and all that.

I think you're confusing
"nice" and "evil" again.

Letting the woman deceive her
husband by inventing a virgin
birth, just so you can...

And it obviously
would have been
more fitting

if the baby had been
born on Christmas,
not just invented then.

It's not leukemia.

Seizures, liver failure.

It's eclampsia.

Which means
we don't have
one dead patient,

we have two.

You have a disease
called eclampsia.

It causes liver failure,
pulmonary edema and seizures.

It's also associated
with cardio myopathy.

That's a pregnancy disease.
You tested her when
she came in.

You can get eclampsia
up to a month after
giving birth.

That's ridiculous.
How could she
hide a pregnancy?

Loose clothes.
She's heavy to begin with,
it was probably premature.

If it was three weeks ago,
they could have missed it
on a physical exam.

The baby's why you
quit drinking, isn't it?

Why you asked me
if I had kids.

Why you feel guilty.

I'm sorry.

Oh...

Who did this to you?

Simon.

It wasn't bad.

We were, like,
boyfriend-girlfriend
for a while,

we just didn't tell anyone.

He doesn't even
know about...

What happened to the baby?

I was going to
give her away.

If they found out at school...

I was at the soup kitchen,
and she started coming.

There was this empty house
down the street, but...

And she wasn't breathing.

I tried so hard,
but I couldn't do
anything. I'm so sorry.

(SNIFFLING)

If I had her in a hospital,
maybe she'd be alive.

Can you cure this?

The damage to the heart
and liver are permanent.

I'm gonna die?

I'm sorry.

I didn't even bury her.

I just put
my coat over her.

MAN: Get out of my house.

I'm a doctor.

I don't care who you are.

Did you find
the body of a baby?

I said get out.

WOMAN: Michael?

Who are you?

That's not your baby.

You're tiny. There's no way
you gave birth three
weeks ago.

She's my sister's.

That baby is sick.
She needs clean water.
She needs real heat.

She was probably born
with a partially
blocked airway

and might even
have brain damage.

You can't take care of her
in a place like this.

MAN: Shut up.

I took care of her.

I know.

You found her.

You saved her life.

Now you have
to let her go.

(GURGLING)

(DOOR OPENS)

Who's that?

It's your daughter.
She was alive.

People found her
and took care of her.

(GURGLES)

She's beautiful.

It's okay.

(INAUDIBLE)

Kutner.

No transplant?

We appealed.
Too sick.

How much time
does she have left?

A couple days at most.

What about the baby?

Seems healthy,
but it's too early to tell.

She's in the hospital for
observation for a few days.
But after that...

Best case, winds up
with her teenage father,

who just got voted
captain of the varsity
bullying team.

He's just a kid.

You all right?
I gotta go.

Jonathan?
Yeah?

It's Lawrence Kutner.

Why are you here?

I wanted to apologize
for all the horrible stuff
I did to you in high school.

I'm sorry.

HOUSE: What's going
to happen to her?

I spoke to both
sets of grandparents.

It's too painful.
They're putting her
up for adoption.

What are you
going to do?

I already spoke
to a lawyer.

I become a foster parent
and then I adopt.

(BABY CRIES)

Merry Christmas, Cuddy.

Hey.

Where is everybody?

Down at the party.

I heard Janice is
back on the trial.

My Christmas gift to you.

I was wrong.
You're not House.

Yeah. Well,
that's my Christmas
gift to myself.

We should go to the party.

We should.
