House

Do you see them anywhere?

Why don't we go back to their house, wait for them there.

Yeah,

'cause they'll probably answer the door the sixteenth time I knock.

There they are.

Hi. I'm sorry I followed you here.

I just really wish you could give me a few minutes of your time.

**Chinese language**

I know you would never agree to make it an open adoption,

but I just figured maybe you never had a choice.

I mean, it's china, right?

**Chinese language**

**Chinese language**

- What did he say? - He wants you to leave them alone.

Please...

**Chinese language**

I just want ten minutes.

Learn what you're like, tell you about my life.

**Chinese language**

**Chinese language**

He said they have no daughter.

I am sorry you wasted a trip.

I know that's them.

How does that work?

How do I pray?

You make a wish and lift the buddha.

I wish they could understand how badly I need this.

Now make the wish again.

If you cannot lift the buddha this time, your wish will be granted.

Are you okay?

**Chinese language**

House - Season 05 Episode 04 "Birthmarks"

Synch: NIZ

I picked cameron's pocket down in E.R.

I came up a doozy.

Your mother called, twice.

She's still healthy.

This 25-year-old woman, on the other hand...

Her messages sounded kind of urgent.

Well, that's the way women sound when their spouse of 50 years dies.

Your dad died?

- Are you... - Yep. Fine!

Our patient,

who's been known to take a few drinks on non-occasions,

vomits blood and collapses on a trip to china.

Chinese surgeons cut out a foot of bowel,

but the pain is worse now than it was before.

House, call your mom.

What are you, my mom?

We can continue this differential in five minutes.

Are those bags under your eyes?

You were up all night.

- You told her, didn't you? - I don't know

what your daddy issues are, but don't deflect them on me.

Told his wife he's been getting some strange.

She kicked his adulterous tuchus to the curb.

- Seriously, you told her? - Yes, I told her.

But no, she did not kick me to the curb.

We stayed up late talking. We're going to continue talking.

Much like House should be doing with his mother right now.

Anybody read chinese?

Otherwise, we have no idea what these doctors did to her.

Kutner, you're sort of asian, right?

Get it translated.

What about meckel's diverticulum?

If the surgeons didn't remove the diverticulum,

it can cause pain, bleeding.

Too high up for a colonoscopy. CT could Miss it.

Ultrasound's fastest.

And since I'm fastest with the ultrasound...

House, let me do the ultrasound.

You need to deal with your dad and...

I'm not deflecting because I'm avoiding something deep.

I'm deflecting because i'm avoiding something shallow.

Seriously, I'm fine.

I didn't even like the man.

No meckel's.

Were you there for the rice or the reeducation camps?

I was there to track down my biological parents.

Like a salmon returning to the stream where it was born.

Did you become whole again, or did you get eaten by bears?

They denied my existence.

Four parents, and not one of them taught you to cover your mouth.

Oh, my god!

You look like they cut you in half.

- Doctor, we're her parents. - I'm just a technician.

Her doctors will be by later. You can schmooze then.

Can you let them know that we,

we went by her apartment and collected all her medication.

I'm a technician and a doctor.

- You went through my apartment? - We found alcohol.

We thought you'd quit.

- Did her drinking cause this? - No.

Can you tell her it did?

Licorice root.

No, thanks I'm good.

I threw it to you for a reason.

That's what the chinese doctors gave her.

It contains glycyrrhizin.

They were treating her for sars?

Not very effectively.

But sars explains the cough, causes hypoperfusion,

which explain ischemic balance, it's perfect.

Lung involvement isn't very severe.

Okay, well, so call it "ars."

Start her on ribavirin and interferon.

- Sorry about your father. - I'm not.

Are we done emoting now?

If there's anything I can do, just...

You know, you're right. I don't think I can sleep alone tonight.

And you can tell me that that is liquid vicodin.

We giving I.G. shots to everyone who came in contact with your patient.

Shockingly, none of the nurses volunteered to administer yours.

It goes better in a large muscle.

Drop your pants.

You know, I usually pay tens of dollars to hear that.

The funeral's tomorrow.

My mom called you?

There is 3:40 flight out of Newark.

If you leave now, you can be in Lexington tonight.

Your mother wants you to deliver a eulogy.

"Eulogy."

From the greek for "good word."

Now, if she asked me to deliver a bastardogy,

- I'd be happy to... - Then be a grown-up.

Call your mother back and tell her that you're sick with grief,

- but you're too busy to be there. - She knows when I'm lying.

Then start writing.

They yanked my brother and sister of college.

Can you please tell them I'm not dying?

You have sars.

I'm wearing a mask.

It's a big deal.

Cut 'em some slack.

But I am gonna be okay, right?

That's what all this stuff is for.

We're gonna need the names and numbs of everyone

you came in contact with here and in china.

Flight numbers, dates...

that doctor that i coughed all over...

Is he gonna be all right?

So far he's fine.

It's back. This is where the pain all started.

She's tachycardic. Get a crash cart in here!

What's going on?

I need to know what's going on. That's my daughter.

Her liver's failing. It's not sars.

I am not doing this because I care.

Cuddy drugged me.

She...

My mom didn't call cuddy.

She called you.

I knew you couldn't stay away I knew you loved me too much.

I'm doing this for your mom.

I'm not doing this at all.

If there were something to be done,

I would have done it in the year he spent dying.

You took my vicodin?!

I'm in pain.

One?!

So the vicodin is my leash.

One'll take the edge off,

but it won't give me enough relief for an escape back to plainsboro.

Where's my phone?

That's the team. It's their ring tone.

Forget it.

The patient's blood is on your hands.

House? You there?

I'being held against my will. Call the police!

Nicole had a clot in the epatic vein.

Chase sucked it out, saved her liver.

No signs of a tumor or venous malformations. Nothing that could...

- She's an addict. - Drugs and alcohol wouldn't

She's a smoker.

Combine smoking with any one of a dozen genetic disorders,

and she's a clotting machine.

Multiple blood clots would tie together bowel ischemia, lungs, and the liver.

We need to pinpoint which defect she has

so we can start her on the right anticoagulant.

Draw her blood,

let's find out which genetic gift her genetic parents gave her.

Thanks for calling.

My ring tone for you is "dancing queen", by ABBA.

Nicole?

I need to pee. Pull over at the next stop.

I'll just pee on the floor.

You bought used floor mats?

That is brilliant.

There's a rest stop in five miles.

- Cane. - The restroom's right there.

You can make it on your own.

I suppose I could talk about the summer he decided he wasn't speaking to me.

Two months, not one word.

Anything he wanted to say, he typed up and slipped under my bedroom door.

You don't want to say anything, don't say anything, but go.

Tell your mom you're sad for her.

Just by being there, i'd be lying.

She wants to think,

for a moment, that she had a happy family.

So give her a gift, lie!
