Poisoned by Nuclear Weaponry or Her Boyfriend? | House M.D.

0:00 3 2 1 I feel better already.

0:15 You need to see a shrink.

0:19 Seriously.

0:23 Well done.

0:25 Wendy!

0:27 Call 911.

0:30 I've always been healthy.

0:32 I never even get colds.

0:33 I guess your luck finally ran out.

0:38 They catch doesn't like people who make bombs.

0:41 I'm sorry.

0:42 I didn't mean to.

0:42 It's all right.

0:44 Half my family feels the same way.

0:46 Of course they all work on Wall Street, so.

0:51 Ever since the first 4th of July, I can remember I've always loved explosions.

0:56 When I got to college and I had to pick a major,

0:58 figured I might as well pick something I'm passionate about.

1:02 Destroying things.

1:03 You weren't passionate about anything else?

1:07 Bombs are tools just like anything else.

1:09 You can use it to make things better or you can use it to make things worse.

1:14 I also like romantic poetry and picnics.

1:17 Is there anything else you want to know before we do the MRI?

1:20 Nope.

1:20 Try to stay as still as possible.

1:22 It shouldn't take long.

1:24 Last boyfriend was a real nut.

1:26 He's He's basically stalking her.

1:27 See, this is what I don't care about.

1:28 I don't care who cares about her.

1:30 Used to care about her.

1:32 If either one of you falls down dead, you can drop me a note.

1:35 I think I know what's wrong with her.

1:38 You screwed up in the lab and accidentally spilled some bomb on her.

1:42 No.

1:44 He really is crazy.

1:49 Poisoned?

1:50 Apparently our mad scientist is also a scientist.

1:54 His milkshakes got all the nerds in the yard fighting over her.

1:57 She's a because she's dated two different guys at work?

2:00 Oh, I'm sorry.

2:01 I thought we were still judging her.

2:02 She's not a and it's not poison.

2:04 When we tested her blood and cerebral spinal fluid for toxic exposure,

2:07 it was negative for every poison we could think of.

2:08 Well, that just leaves every poison we didn't think of.

2:11 She works in a bomb factory.

2:12 So do a lot of other nutsick people.

2:14 If the guy had any actual evidence she was poisoned,

2:16 he would have gone to the police, not to us.

2:18 If we had any evidence of what was

2:19 wrong with her, you'd be showing us MRI results.

2:21 I assume they were negative?

2:23 Couldn't hurt to start activated charcoal, see what happens.

2:26 You know what else wouldn't hurt?

2:28 This case is getting interesting.

2:31 Abdominal pain.

2:32 She said it felt like she was being stabbed.

2:37 Give her morphine, 5 mg IV.

2:40 Is it a symptom of the underlying condition or a symptom of our treatment?

2:43 We'll know soon.

2:44 I stopped the treatment.

2:46 restart it.

2:46 Acute pancreatitis from alcoholism would cause this kind of pain.

2:49 Stress related.

2:50 She's in a lot of pain.

2:51 She's under a lot of stress.

2:52 She's got two guys fighting over her and she just

2:54 got done with the final test of a new bomb.

2:56 Her guilt is killing her.

2:57 As far as you know, she likes being the center of attention and loves her job.

3:00 As far as you know, she doesn't drink.

3:01 What if it's a kidney infection?

3:02 Acute pyelonephritis could kill her if we don't start her on IV antibiotics.

3:06 kill her if it was pyelonephritis,

3:08 but since her urine and CSF don't show signs of infection.

3:12 House.

3:13 What?

3:15 We got nothing.

3:16 Less than nothing since he's actually ignoring my pages,

3:18 which means we have a sick patient and apparently a sick boss.

3:29 It's definitely not pancreatitis.

3:30 Restarting the treatment obviously didn't help anything.

3:33 I assume you tested for infections.

3:36 And I assume that look means yes and I was wrong.

3:38 You called for a psych consult?

3:40 Wow, that's the same look I just got from Chase.

3:43 So, an hour ago we had three theories we couldn't agree on.

3:46 Now we've got no theories, but we're in agreement.

3:52 So, you're saying ultrasound showed information in the renal capsule?

3:56 Could be an obstructing calculus or a perinephric abscess.

3:59 Cultures came back negative.

4:00 It's probably just a benign cyst.

4:01 Yes, let's just dismiss an idea because it's probably not.

4:04 Could be gas in the perinephric space,

4:05 in which case we should be prepping her for emergency surgery.

4:09 What looks like Wolff-Parkinson-White, but isn't.

4:16 Her EKG was normal.

4:17 So was his.

4:18 That's why I said looks like, as in similar to, but not the same.

4:23 You want us to help you get out of paying

4:26 your bet while your actual patient lies in agony.

4:30 Who's the real bad guy here?

4:32 The guy who doesn't care enough to help

4:34 or the four guys who are not competent enough to help?

4:37 She works out too much, gets pounded too much and not in the romantic way.

4:41 His pupils I got Are you a patient?

4:46 No.

4:47 Plenty of time to save her life after we save my money.

4:50 Underlying neurological condition exacerbated by an acute

4:53 UTI brought on by her sexual escapades.

4:56 escapades.

4:56 How do we treat a scarlet A?

4:58 Sorry, acute UTI brought on by her healthy enjoyment of her womanhood.

5:02 We start her on IV ampicillin and an aminoglycoside.

5:07 Page said she's now bleeding from her mouth.

5:09 Start treatment.

5:10 I said I would.

5:11 A yes would have been fine.

5:12 Not asking a question would have been even better.

5:16 Any breathing issues?

5:17 No, but I'm not sure it's internal.

5:21 from both ends, it's internal.

5:22 Her gums look like they were burned.

5:31 What about this?

5:31 28-year-old woman presenting with burn-like wounds

5:34 in her mouth and esophagus from a candidiasis infection.

5:36 Interesting.

5:37 It would also be relevant if the woman had had seizures.

5:39 Fungus had entered her bloodstream.

5:41 have seen it in the blood work.

5:42 Acute myeloid leukemia can cause swelling in the gums.

5:44 Again, interesting, but not relevant.

5:46 Again, you're being an ass.

5:47 She doesn't have a history of blood diseases in her family,

5:49 her blood count's normal, and she hasn't been exposed to a chemical toxin.

5:52 Not that we know of.

5:53 Now that she works the most closely with is also her boyfriend,

5:56 you don't think he would have told us if

5:57 there'd been some sort of chemical spill or accident?

6:00 There is one other cause of AML.

6:07 Wait, where are you taking her?

6:08 We need to get her into an isolation

6:09 room and prep for hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

6:12 Isolation what?

6:12 We think her blood and immune system have

6:14 been destroyed by an exposure to ionizing radiation.

6:17 We don't work with radiation.

6:18 Well, apparently your girlfriend does.

6:19 No, she doesn't.

6:21 You're wrong.

6:21 It must be something else.

6:22 We found reports that your company was

6:23 developing tactical nuclear warheads for bunker-busting bombs.

6:26 Where?

6:26 On Wikipedia or some paranoid idiot's blog?

6:29 I don't care where you read it, it's not true.

6:30 You're saying there's absolutely no chance that anyone in your company

6:33 is doing any experimental research that you don't know about?

6:35 No.

6:37 But I know Wendy and she wouldn't.

6:38 Well, maybe you don't know her as well as you thought you did.

6:40 Excuse me.

6:41 I have to go.

6:45 She doesn't have radiation poisoning.

6:47 She's getting better.

6:48 We need to start your treatment before it's too late.

6:51 No.

6:55 You're either suicidal or you know we're wrong.

7:00 And the only way you can know for sure what

7:02 wasn't killing her is if you knew what [music] it was.

7:05 And you do, don't you?

7:07 Because you've been poisoning her.

7:08 And the reason she's getting better is because you haven't been near her.

7:12 Our coworkers are on [music] their way

7:13 to your home right now to search for poisons.

7:15 You mind saving them the trouble?

7:17 Attempted murder is better than murder.

7:23 [music] Where's Caesar?

7:34 Um in jail.

7:40 He was trying to kill you.

7:43 He found out about you and Glenn,

7:45 which he admitted shouldn't have surprised him since

7:48 he started seeing you while you were dating Tony.

7:52 He poisoned me?

7:54 Repeatedly.

7:55 With Spanish fly.

7:57 The active ingredient, cantharidin,

7:59 is a potent toxin and can cause a lot of the same damage as radiation.

8:06 He poisoned me?

8:11 I'm sorry.

8:15 He had a security clearance.
