I feel like if this guy wasn't doomed to go back into coma, he and House could have been good friends.
He didn't go back into come, he died.
@@soonsims yes... He died. While you're technically correct, what Veloz was trying to point out was that if this guy didn't commit suicide for his son, he would've just slip back into his vegetative state until he'd die of old age or if some cure was developed.
He would have been part of the pokergame every Thursday night with wilson lol
They were friends. House's best friends next to Wilson are the coma patients
Yeah that's sad that when people wake up from comas they're probably going to die
This is one moment even House feels bad. There is no lie, no angle, no selfish gain, just the father wanting his son to live, no matter what the cost. Its one of those moments that breaks even his emotional walls of cynicism and detachment.
There isn't anything a good father wouldn't do for his children. It's how we're wired.
no
@@srmj71 right
Right
@@srmj71 and a brother family means everything
I don't know about everybody else, but it broke my heart when he said "I'm okay with pain".
Me too.... I started crying. The things we are willing to go through for the ones we love can be a true sign of our humanity.
He missed most of his son's life and had no real clue what kind of person his son was other than the knowledge that he was a guilt-ridden drunk. He lost his wife and more than a decade of his life trying to fix a mistake his son made, and despite all of that, he was willing to suffer and give up everything to save a person he barely even knows just because he was the kid's father. There have been fathers on this show that wouldn't even give blood to save their son's life, and this made decided to trade his knowing he won't even get the chance to say goodbye. This episode straight fucked me up.
I got tears when he yelled "I failed to keep my family safe! I failed to save my wife! Now I have to watch my son as he-..."
You'd have to be a father to really understand this. If my daughter needed a heart, I'd be ok if doctors cut it out of my chest alive and with no medicine to ease the pain. Just as long as she gets it.
He knew his life was over anyway and even if the drugs kept me awake until his end what’s the point.
Giving up his life so his son could have his heart gave his son a chance at a full life.
Sacrifice is the most human thing.
When he said “Wilson… get out” I wanted to cry when Wilson said no. It hurt so much because he knew exactly what house was about to do
House didn't do anything. He was downstairs trying to get Wilson sunk.
@@jpaxonreyes umm… what…
@@jasonhernandez8146 - House and Wilson don't know what you are talking about, I'm sure.
@@jasonhernandez8146 the person is playing along with the alibi Wilson set up, that he and "House"(the guy he paid to act like him) were at the casino trying to get that woman to come with them. That they were not in the room when the man overdosed on the pills
@@jasonhernandez8146 house and wilson had alibis ;) they have no idea of the incident
"Tell him... I don't know what to tell him."
This. Out of all the scenes I've seen of this show, this broke me the most. In most other shows that would have a scene like this, the dad would have some profound message to pass on to his son, something the screenwriters spent a good few hours coming up with to make sure it hits that perfect emotional note. But exactly in him not being able to come up with something, it breaks this feeling that its just a TV show and makes it feel real for a moment.
Actually he could just have said "tell him it wasnt his fault, i never blamed him"
Frankly, the most honest dialogue I can think of. What can he say; his son's "clumsiness" did factually cause the fire that put the dad into a PVS, and killed his mother. It's NOT your fault would mean his father spent his last moments thinking about what caused the accident. I forgive you would pretty much have the same effect. I love you unconditionally, would probably saddle his kid with an unbelievable weight of guilt. House's "You were right" actually covers the FACTS. The tray WAS too heavy for him. He was just a kid. He is sorry. The "You were Right; you did the right thing." comment covers everything. And it will baffle the kid, shifting his mind from the incredible guilt he may have felt over his father giving up his life for his son. Brilliant House episode. We learn WHY House has to be the guy with the answers that NOBODY else could come up with. Because no matter how he dressed, how he acted, what his station in life is, how messed up his personal life is, people will STOP and LISTEN to what he has to say (medically) because THEY HAVE TO!
Well i believe "action speaks louder than words" . Is action shows how much he loves and care for his son . Even when he has nothing to say
Every person needs to hear two things from their father, I love you, and I'm proud of you. And when appropriate, I'm sorry, it wasn't your fault. Whatever applies
All I could think was, “TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM AND YOU DON’T BLAME HIM!”
this show did flirt so hard with the moral gray zone it´s unbelieveable
Alegost1 That’s not flirting, that’s outright frenching it in public.
i this is one of the most moral humane acts
It's both.
its something i love about houses character he is cold and calculating and sees things in black and while without letting emotions get in the way
every year thousands of people suffer painfull and slow deaths because dr's and protestors think its too inhumane to kill someone
its inhumane to let them take there own live
yet its humane to allow them to suffer in pain and agony so they can enjoy those final few monthes or years of there life thats so precious
because they have so much to live for so many things left to expirance
there first fall where they cant get up
realising they cant get in and out of the tub and need someone to lift them out
not making it to the bathroom in time and having to wear a diaper and soil yourself which of course you cant change so now you have to suffer the indignity of being changed
combined with the crushing guilt and shame of subjecting someone to having to do that for you
the day when you find you cant even stand on your own your left laying in your bed staring at 4 walls nothing to do nothing to think of but the pain
people coming to visit you isnt the joy it once was because you see it in there eyes you see the look of sadness the fear in there eyes of loosing you you sense how they treat you different now your not there loved one the way you once was
they dont joke with you how they used to for fear of upsetting you
they handle you like your made of china scared to even hug you
no your dying you know that they know that and it just crushes you
but hey its inhumane to let someone fall asleep and stop there heart subjecting them to at most 30 minutes of pain
much more humane to extend there suffering
its admirable that house cuts through the crap and the feelings and the kind words and gets direct to the point
your dying
you wont survive
your move
oh and final thought most countrys allow a person to choose to end there life
they just have to refuse medical attention and refuse food and water
it takes 8-14 days to die from starvation and dehydration and is the most aggonizing 8 days imaginable and by refusing medical aid they must do this without pain medication
house is perhaps the most human person allive
Thanks man. That was actually really poetic. If you don't mind, I think I'm going to hold on to it.
Every episode is basically the same template but every episode is so unique.
It’s almost as if this is a show
MrZsc only a good show, though, can use the same template can make every episode unique
@@momgirlcop1 Exactly, the medical drama really only serves to explore Houses mind and morality, it was always about him
The template:
Chase: 'The patient has a headache'.
House: 'Did you check his asshole for toothpicks?'
Foreman: 'No. Why would we-'.
House: 'Just do it.'
*Finds toothpick in asshole*
@@its_just_roberto Brilliant comment
At the end, House could've told the son the truth, that his father didn't say anything. This is one of those moments when you can see how kind House can be but I wonder what made him say that. Maybe he had his own father in mind.
I think what House did was right in two ways, first of all he tells the son a cryptic "you were right, you did the right thing" which given the son doesn't know know what that means is perfect, because he can take it and believe it means whatever he needs to, which will make him feel better. Secondly in some way it kinda was what the father would have said if he could think of it, the father wanted to say something that would make things better and make his son feel better, but he just didn't know what those words might be, so House just helped the father along.
The best way to reply would've been either "Just... tell him I love him" or, even better, "He gave you his heart. I think that WAS the message."
I think the heart donation says I love u pretty well. But House did the right thing.
The kid probably lived his life as an guilt ridden empty husk, filling himself up with alcohol, constantly telling himself "I killed my own mother and hospitalized my father, how could I do such a thing.."
"You did the right thing" - Dad.
In my mind it's kinda fucked up.
@@Enjoyingthetrance Yeah in context it seems a bit off. He probably should have told him what his dad said about it not being his fault.
What I wouldn't give for a friend like Wilson.....hes the best
ij A what you would give*
Applying basic English to your sentence shows you are basically saying “I wouldn’t give anything to have a friend like Wilson”
@@Slemoster Wow, you really enjoy being a smart ass, don't you? I cant really call you out for being wrong because, to be honest, I don't know if you are or aren't wrong. I'm not a native English speaker, although to me it sounds like more like hes saying "I would give anything up to .... for a friend like Wilson, but not anything more than that" and i think that "What wouldn't I give for a friend like Wilson" is also correct and resembles more what he said original but I don't really care about that either way. However, what I can call you out on is being a royal dickhead, this guy was just saying how much he admires Wilson's personality.... on a very emotional episode.... and how he wishes for a friend like Wilson, maybe he only has bad people surrounding him in his life... but no, all of that doesn't mean anything to you, you just had to show everyone how far up your arse your head is. Do you also feel the need to correct your friends every time they make a little grammar mistake while talking to you, listening to them just enough to catch their mistakes but not to actually pay attention to what they are trying to tell you? If so, I'm sure you don't have that many left.
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm all for people speaking their native tongue correctly but I'm even more for them being decent human beings. Cheers :)
@@rauldragu9447 bro yes, to everything, yes
@@Slemoster no, it means the same thing because, "what I wouldn't give..." is trying to think of something valuable enough to you that you wouldn't give, while "what I would give..." is trying to figure out something valuable enough to give.
@@Slemoster Actually, applying basic common sense and basic English, a synonymous sentence would be "What would I not give up on for a friend like Wilson?". Whilst it is a rhetorical question and inherently tougher to decipher in comparison to your run of the mill "I want a good friend" type of sentence, it is, by all means, correct and in strong correlation with the subject of the video. To conclude my reply, I wish you to have a good life and learn proper English before correcting someone :P
Bottom line is that the message really did not matter. What mattered was that there *_was_* a message.
"Your mother's death was part of God's plan"

No, it's not. It's just that having a message is better than having nothing at all.
A father's true love for his son. Damn.
Any good parent would gladly give their life to save their child.
I hated his character at the beginning. He basically acted like an ass and basically used House and Wilson. I'll be damned if he didn't fully redeem himself. The end was just heartbreaking. I've never respected a character more on this show than this father
As an 18 year old dad, the moment I heard my baby boy take his first breath in then let his first cry out, I felt something like my soul literally melting inside my chest...i knew at that moment I would defend him with my life or die in his place
@@Darjaboo yes my dad is the same. I'm his youngest child so he's more protective of me and I in turn I'm very close to my dad.
I think in my moment of panic. I won't cry for my mom.
"you lied to the cops enough for me"
Damn Wilson is the best
“I’m okay with pain.” Jesus Christ man, incredibly tragic.
Two legendary comedians from two very different countries showing just what they can do dramatically, hell of a thing to see.
First saw him on The Young Ones, “ university challenge “
best dad. he knows that hell just be a vegetable after his 24 hours are up and decides to save his sons life instead of living on as a veggie. BEST DAD.
Yeah because he was turning into vegan... I MEAN VEGETABLE. It was a good idea.
I might not understand the ethics or the rules in America
But couldn't he just wrote a will to transplant his heart to his son once he goes back into the coma? Even if it meant taking his life
Why did it have to be through suicide
@@sleepynoodles6425 Patient has to be dead for the will to be active. Hospitals can't kill people, even if they ask them to so the only way was suicide
@@colcid4071 ah that makes sense
Thanks for the explanation
@@sleepynoodles6425 well he was going to go into coma again, not die. He would have needed to essentially sign an agreement to be euthanized rather than supported in coma. And euthanasia isn't legal in the US. If he had to be on life support, he could likely have signed an agreement to not be put on life support/a DNR (do not resuscitate), but he was in good health despite the coma, so didn't need life support so that wasn't an option either.
I love the look on Cuddy's face when she hears House say, "I'll think of something eles," she knows but doesn't want to know.
And the look she gives at the end to me it says "i am so glad i don't have to live with this heavy decision like House does"
@@catslino5037yep. She and Wilson both know House too well to know he isn't above helping a patient commit suicide to save their child.
I love how if you watch Wilson leave he grabs the cane, slipping it under his jacket. Cane is there one second, gone as he walks by. He already had a plan to create an alibi for House.
Had to watch a few times but you're right 😊
Well spotted! ❤
The father is so selfless. It made me tear up a little. He is what every parent should strive to be. I would gladly give up my life so my children can live.
Selfless? He wouldnt feel anything in 24 hours, doesnt really matter. He'd be selfless if he was actually healthy and living and then dying for his son. Now he's pretty much dead anyways
@@vaevictis1697 na he even knew his suicide was gonna be slow and painful and made his decision almost lightning quick. Selfless for sure
@@vaevictis1697 tf
most fathers love their children, despite what some in media would try and promote.
It is a lot easier to give your life for your child in the spur of a moment than having the moments to contemplate teh idea. Many others would take the selfish route
It was almost sweet, what House did in this episode. Wilson even helped him with his alibi.
Good stuff
Doctors help people die pretty often, I think. We just don't get to hear about it much because it is (wrongly) against the law in a lot of places.
@@georgerogers2120 EMTs do, too. Often they pretend to do CPR when they know it won't do any good & the person will be a vegetable.
wilson writes a paper on euthanasia in another episode
My grandmother did that. All her friends were gone and she missed her husband. So she was able to persuade us to leave, told the doctors to do nothing and then pulled all her wires and tubes out...she was a strong little lady.
It’s part of the reason why assisted suicide is so controversial. There are states where if your illness is deemed terminal by 3 different doctors you are allowed to be prescribed some drugs that will end your life in a peaceful manner by those doctors, that way you go out on your own terms. It is what my uncle did.
Nearly cried when house said he would have wanted to hear his dad said that he was right, he did the right thing. Such a relatable character even if your not in pain/ on drugs
That's a reasonable understanding you have. When I was a kid, my dad got sick on a friday and died the next night...out of the blue. I couldn't be there bc I was too young. Besides, he was intubated and could not speak. I'm not sure there are words for that time or moment, from him to me. But I wonder.
House's wanting his dad to tell him he did the right thing (but still never hearing those words) pretty much sums up the whole show and his character. He struggles mightily the find the right answers, and will do pretty much anything if he believes it's the right thing, even if others don't agree. He yearns for that approval but has had to learn the hard lesson of living without it. His off-putting manner, what seems gruff and cold, is of course the mechanism he uses to live with that painful dichotomy.
I'll be honest I nearly cried when he said "He's my kid." Honestly just a beautifully delivered line with great music and direction
God, Wilson is an amazing friend. House sent him away to protect him, and all the while Wilson is cleverly creating an alibi for House to also protect him in return.
John Larroquette is such an underrated actor.
You got that right!
Theo Lamp who ?
@@okietc1889 the dad
After Night Court, its weird to see him be so selfless. =P
@@ryanjones_rheios or Richie Rich
"He thinks that he killed his mother and turned his father into a vegetable. I'd have had a few shots myself."
So House does have a limit to how much he's not willing to care.
He's never not actually cared. He keeps himself half a hospital and a floor away from his patients because otherwise he starts caring so much he helps coma patients kill themselves to save their sons.
@@wolffang489 Or risks a woman's life so that she can keep her leg.
speaking of i think that was the only time i was like yep pop that vicodin man you just talked a guy into killing himself how do you sleep after that even with the justification?
House loved his mother so
he initially does not care but when he gets involved....he lets his feelings loose..
Greatest dad in the world award goes to the man who literally committed suicide to save his son.

@@lavillablanca if that helps you, sure.
@@lavillablanca We’re talking about reality, not fairytales.
@@orion9977 what's the difference?
@@orion9977 did you just watch a youtube video showing a TV show and called it "reality"?
How John Larroquette doesn't have an entire wall of Emmy's is a mystery, he's an incredible actor!
At first I was like what the hell is Wilson doing calling some random "House". When he walked over and paid him, it hit me. Wilson is a ride till the end type of friend. This is a heavy episode. It showed the true colours of the friendship and trust between House and Wilson.
"Wilson is a ride till the end type of friend."
That sentence hits a little harder, when you watch the final episode.
Didn't even notice Wilson grab the cane when he left the first time I watched.
Right, me either just shows the Wilson side how he was indeed like House allot but the passive aggressive version Hence they were best friends........
@@ReganMarcelis he grabbed the cane because he wanted to have an alibi for him and house and the witness would remember a tall white man with a cane and Wilson on the casino floor and not pay attention to houses face which is really a guy Wilson paid off to pretend to be him. See 6:45 for the embarrassing but intentional flirting with a married woman.
I noticed it, but was wondering why. I even went back a few seconds to make sure I saw him take it. I was also wondering why he called the guy House, but when it slipped him the money it all clicked into place. Wilson can now produce one or more witnesses that would say House was in the casino with him at the time of the guy's death.
@@VelarOW a married woman who did, indeed, like to swing.
It says a lot about Wilson's character and his relationship with House that he didn't even need to be asked, or to know what he was giving House an alibi for (though I'm sure he suspected).
Everyone in life needs a friend like Wilson. When I first watched the series, Wilson seemed like a background character for a little bit, but he became one of, if not favorite supporting actor of this series.
No matter how hard house pushed the friendship line, Wilson never gave in and stuck around, even after some of the craziest things house had ever done to him.
This will sound cheesy, but if everyone had a friend like him, a lot of people may be better off.
I wouldn't blame him if he left House. Everyone has their breaking point and Wilson is not willing to break his ethical code. He may be an accomplice, but will never step on House's shoes. It's too much for him.
Almost everytime when something big happen, their friendship is tested, but at some point, it breaks... and repairing that is almost impossible.
There's actually a theory I heard that the show isn't about House at all - Wilson is the main character, it's just told from House's point of view.
OR - if everyone tried to BE a friend like Wilson
And friends like Wilson need to move on from friends like House.
I also liked him as a volleyball.
4:40 What i really like about this scene is not only Wilson knows exactly what he's going to do, but he takes his cane immediately going along with it playing his part without any sort of planning between them. They know and care about each other that well that he independently works on both of their alibis without a second thought.
Made the ultimate sacrifice to save his son and only 2 people will ever know about it. What a man.
only 2? I'd say at least 4 people know.
Kutty absolutely knew.
Well, Cuddy, Wilson, House and the son know. So four actually.
2:10 - House just calls a random phone in the lobby and Foreman happens to pick up on the first ring.
True, but to be fair, it is late, most of the staff would be away. And he knows Foreman is in a specific wing of the hospital.
@@JimmySteller no one would want to sit and wait for 2 minutes as House dials the hospital repeatedly until Forman answers
Foreman stops suddenly "my house senses are tingling, what's the most inconvenient phone?"
It wasn't random. It was in the script.
You guys cut out the best part, when the old man asked him a question about his career, he saw that House didn't like patients/people in general and he asked him why did he choose medicine instead of other scientific domains, his answer was clearly the best part of this moment.
Phoenix Wright what was his answer?
Savitar yeah, now I too am curious.
Well it's gonna be way less powerful than House's voice but here comes : " When I was 14, my father was stationned in Japan. I went rock-climbing with this kid from school, he fell and got injured and i had to bring him to the hospital. And we came in through the wrong entrance and passed this guy in the hall... He was a janitor. My friend came down with an infection and the doctors didn't know what to do... So they brought in... the janitor. He was a doctor... and a buraku. One of Japan's untouchables. His ancestors had been slaughterers, gravediggers... And this guy, he knew that he wasn't accepted by the staff, didn't even try. He didn't dress well, he didn't pretend to be one of them. The people around that place, they didn't think he had anything they wanted, except when they needed him. Because he was right. Which meant that nothing else mattered. They had to listen to him. "
Phoenix Wright
What do you think that reveals about him? I think it has something to do with more than just why he always wants to be right, like or is that it? he wants to be right so that people will need him no matter how much he doesn’t fit in?

John Larroquette is one of the very few that could cruise with with the rapid, high-headed dialogue that House runs.
@duke: agreed. Although a comedy, some of the stuff he did in Night Court was amazing.
Imagine a scene, with these two, and James Spader.
Thing I love about House, he's 110% dedicate to saving lives, no matter what. As Objective as can be, will do everything and anything to save lives.
'Maybe I don't wanna push this til it breaks'
There's a lot of good moments in this scene and episode but that line right there...
What did this mean ? I heard it but couldn’t put it together!
@@alofritzmaul3818 ; it meant that Wilson had already done enough... Risked enough... He didn't want Wilson to be in trouble if this went sideways and in normal life and circumstance, it probably would have. We gotta just keep telling ourselves... it's just a tv show.
I appreciate the scene with Wilson in the casino... acting rather bizarre and talking to some random dude as if he's House, revealing that it was a clever creation of an alibi after the fact.
what gets me is that he never. eats. the. sandwich.
It's infuriating
That one film/tv trope to the worst degree cause hes literally about to die and his last request was that sandwhich
*It was never about the sandwich. It was an excuse to run away from seeing his son dying at the time.*
@@bernebelmont1857 Bruh if I was dying, I rather eat and enjoy a good meal before I pass on, but as DeCastro said, he asked that to run away from his son dying
true but also he can do both
This show was an absolute masterpiece and it's so disappointing when people miss some of the biggest parts. They intentionally showed the sandwich not being eaten FOR A REASON. The sandwich was EVEN IN THE CENTER OF THE SHOT, for like a whole 2 seconds so obviously they were trying to MAKE YOU REALIZE HE DIDN'T EAT THE SANDWICH. When you realize that they forced you to notice the sandwich, you then think critically as to why. I quickly realized that at the start of this episode, when this patient was woken up and being told the news. If you watch and analyze when Cuddy tells him that his son could be dying too. He AVOIDS eye contact with CUDDY by closing his eye and clenching his jaw (almost like he's trying to deal with the bad news but can't so he ignores them) then immediately jumps to HOUSES eyes bringing up a topic that OBVIOUSLY has nothing to do with the importance of his DYING SON. The directors were trying to call to attention the lack of understanding we all have of HOW PEOPLE DEAL WITH TRAUMA. This mans reaction, along with MANY MANY other men, was to have an escape, AKA (the bar, the pub, etc.) The whole point was that, while when he first woke up he REALLY DID want a steak, after he got hit the the HORRIBLE NEWS of (kid dying, and he's only going to be alive for a day anyways) he had no time to deal with that trauma, so his immediate reaction was to escape to a safe place where he can deal with those feelings. That brings us to where they end up, with the exact kind of Sandwich he wanted and probably could've eaten since he was still more than likely starving, but he didn't. You know why? It's because the REAL issue was finally coming to light, now that he felt he was in a place comfortable enough to let it show. Also just like the Father is okay with enduring pain for his son, his father is probably also okay with forcing himself to starve (by not eating a sandwich he would probably love to it) it shows a strong sense of moral priority, where the father understands the importance of his sons death, and is valuing that over the momentary pleasure of satiating his hunger. That shows because when he could be eating a perfectly good sandwich, he chooses not to and instead opens up about how much he loves his family. Literally the directors did an incredible job with this episode and it might be on of the best episodes of House to date. Stinks though, because in a cinematography sense, this was one of the MOST BLATANT puzzles they INTENTIONALLY tried to force us all to solve. Apparently some people just like to watch House in the background and not really analyze it, which is hilariously contradictory.
4:35 John Larroquette saying "please leave, It's ok, I want to do this" with a single glance of his eyes. Great actor, great direction.
John Larroquette is a treasure to American television.
Between just Night Court and his work in Boston Legal he 's one of the greatest 😊
I like how he told him the message that he wanted his Father to give to him. It allows the son to have something to think about. To connect his own meaning to those words. It allows himself to give some closure to the relationship in whatever way he wants to connect those words to their own situation.
This out of character moment with Wilson was staged so perfectly to protect BOTH of them to have an alibi. It's only a brief part of the episode and to most you don't realize he got a basic info to find her again and left her with a memory of meeting him and "house" who matches his hight and look closely enough. It's a genius moment brushed by in a quick scene.

I'm really dumb because I didn't realise that's what he was doing. I thought he was just killing time

It took me a couple episodes to understand what was going on.
If you watch closely, you can see him grab the cane before he leaves the room. Already planning ahead.
if the lady had actually swinged
6:29 That one of the only genuine smiles from House you see in the show outside of some of his moments with Wilson...
Two of the best pieces of TOTALLY different types of acting:
Wilson and his discomfort with doing something as "Shady" as propositioning that woman,
and
House- the guy who is ordinarily so logical and indifferent about patients, seeing them only as a disease or ailment being so effected on a personal level by this particular man.
What a great series!
I love the voice crack at 6:23, means that Hugh was really feeling the emotion and weight of this scene.
This was a great episode! The father gave his life to save his son! House did it his own way not caring about the method just the greater good!
An utilitarian philosophy has it's flaws, but luckily this is one such show that more often than not reveals a decent means to an end approach.
Bmanritchie, in my opinion, I think house is an optimistic pessimist. In that he sees and recognizes all the sadness, evil and heartbreaking things that take place in the world but he still tries to use what he knows to help people even if it makes him appear as an amoral jackass to those around him.
Jamie Anderson - My viewpoint acknowledges his character:
House often picks the most pragmatic option where he takes the option w/ the least number casualties, no matter HOW such means are met.
Thus, he meets the utilitarian philosophy of ethics.
Like Jesus…
The kid's going straight from now on. He's got his dad's heart ; he's gonna take care of it . When I saw him smile, I knew he wasn't going to need the booze anymore . .
"I'd want him to say... 'You were right. You did the right thing.'" This line never fails to break me - it's what I've always wanted to hear from my father.
This has to be the best Medical show EVER to be made wish netflix would put House MD i’d rewatch All seasons Again
Its on Prime, Get a months free subscription then binge away
Is it a medical,show? Or is it about human nature under life or death circumstances?
"you were right. You did the right thing."
House was in genuine awe of that man.
I had to double check when Wilson picked up the cane. Got to love that Wilson had a plan to create an alibi.
It's a beautiful sentiment in the end; how far a parent would go to save their child. To die for their child. That's a whole different level of love that many don't understand.
Wakes up after 10yrs and no signs of muscle atrophy .
Shhhhhhhhhh...
_It's a TV show_
Lol
it's explained in a different clip. house gave him some drugs to wake him up while explaining.
They mentioned it in the first clip, yea. Some vague shit about him moving around because of the type of vegetative state he was in. A throw away line, but it "explained" it.
In real life, there are machines used to help prevent muscle atrophy, called sequential compression devices (SCD's). Used in patient that are bed bound and help the muscles to simulate walking, thus preventing atrophy
This show had the balls to let’s it’s character be chaotic good, and it didn’t even ridicule them for it
This was an amazing episodebut the one that really got me was when they told Amber that when the bypass was turned off she would be gone. She and Wilson did a great job in that final scene. I Bawled like a baby! And thinking of the realization of the end was overwhelming.
7:50 That is a sound those two will never forget.
7:30 He's trying to create an alibi!! haa haa!!!
Wilson has definitely run the "get an alibi for House" play before lol that was way too smooth to be his first rodeo.
Me watching this show as a kid, “House is crazy for doing this thing and that thing.”
Me watching this show as an adult, “Well.........”
Every one needs a Wilson in life.
Don't really know why, but this scene stuck with me for years after watching it. The thought of House and Wilson just sitting out in the hall, waiting, knowing a man in the room is killing himself to save his son. For some reason or another it just stayed imprinted in my brain for years.
i've been watching too much the mentalist, when he was telling how his wife died i kept thinking "arson he killed her" 😹😹😹😹
Nothing out of the ordinary here. What father wouldn’t give his life for his son? And then you have a doctor/person who deals in realities rather than emotion, helping facilitate the decent thing. This is not a sad ten minutes. It’s a teaching moment on decency.
That father was extremely brave, it really moved me
You lack a heart.
John Larroquette was so good in this episode. They did an amazing job casting that show.
One of the greatest characters ever written for TV...
... and Laroquette was is a tremendous talent.
Something everyone apparently underappreciate is when the father asks "Is my turn to ask a question, right?" House tries to drop the heavy atmosphere around them with a classical sarcastic/witty House joke accompanied with a soft smile.
House tried to lighten the mood just for him after saying that he wouldn't get a chance to see his son again.
In this episode as well as many many other eps, it shows that House knows that doing the right thing require breaking a few rules.
The "Why did you steal My pad" scene from this episode remains one of the highlights of the entire show (for me atleast).

Hahaha forgot about this one, thanks for the reminder, forgot how many iconic scenes there were in this series
Absolutely :)
there's so many moments you just feel your heart drop, the biggest for me is when you hear the chair fall, because you know exactly what's just happened, and they spend a suitable amount of time in the scene afterwards in complete silence, to let you appreciate the moment
John Laroquette was hilarious on Night Court. Was great to see him do drama.
Every season has it's own patients whom House can identifies byfar the most, usuall they are broken af, like he oc.
But this guy....his has the least amount of time and House give him nothing but respect.
Look at that smile on House face. He has 100% respect from his side.
One of my fav episodes/patient.
They did lighten the mood a little with Wilson's "Do you like to swing?" The idea of Wilson being into that hahaha
Wilson's face at 1:03 realising he read the guy totally wrong
House made Wilson more comfortable with involving himself in conflict and Wilson made House more comfortable with letting go of conflict.... well eventually lmao
My eyes are sweating.
Nameless and Shameless It always is.
eyes are sweating, knees weak, arms are heavy, mom's spaghetti
If I had one good friend like Wilson, I’d never break that friendship.
Two of my favorite moments: John Larroquette's outburst (which is heartbreaking because he's such a fun character) and "how many organs do you want from the guy?"
I love what they do with the show, and I know the medicine isn't the real point, but I'm pretty sure hospitals categorically refuse organs from family suicides.
@Sophia Degand It's a 'we don't negotiate with terrorists' sort of thing. If you let 1 mother save her daughter by suicide, you're risking a whole hospital's worth of heroic sacrifices.
Everyone needs a friend like Wilson.
I love the indignation in his voice at 0:51 when Wilson accuses him of blaming his son: "You don't blame a kid for an accident!" I've known parents who have suffered less and who still can't appreciate that simple truth.
Wilson is the best friend a person could have
Is this a Cast Away joke with the volleyball? Lol
“You did the right thing” is actually a great message. His father gave his heart to his son, the right thing to do is not to waste this gift. So he “will” do the right thing to earn the praise he already received. He will live a better life
Easily the best episode in my opinion. The dive into who House is and his history is just enough and delivered perfectly
When he told Wilson to get out I already knew what was going to happen. This episode was heavy.
Wilson is the best friend we all need. He was willing to stay with House and the father while House...y'know. Even lie to the police for House. House himself was ALSO a good friend by not letting Wilson do that.
NOT WILSON MAKING UP AN ALIBI FOR HOUSE LMFAO
8:10 as the father is wheeled past, if you pause it, you can just make out the redness in his neck showing he died of strangulation. Barely half a second you can actually see it, but it's there. Details details details...
He took his life to save, his son. He was okay with pain, because he was disappointed in himself. He was honest to till the end. What a man, I'm speechless.
Cuddy: "Are you out of your mind?"
House: (Does she even know me?)
That’s not lupus...
it's never lupus
No I’m pretty sure it’s probably lupus
it's heavy feels
not with that attitude
one time it was
The way they wrote the script is incredible. They make the medical field and medicine so human in such a raw form that it makes u sit and wonder how truly lucky we all are
I like how everyone knows that House doesn't care about getting in trouble. But the second he tells them something along those lines of "I don't want to push this until it breaks." They KNOW he's about to do something, that if they see, they know they have to report.
So they respect him, and give him privacy.
Amazing that through all the episodes, very, very few people realized that House was the one one who cared more than all the rest combined. He was just not soppy about it.
The things Cuddy has to deal with .🤦🏻♀️
Right very hard just doing nothing about some things...
@@siemniak
She's saved House's ass several times when he stepped over the line. You may not like her, but one always needs a counterbalance and a conservative view point.
I hate her guts
@@silasradriar Idiot
When I realized that coma guy was John Larroquette, I knew this episode was going to be extra fantastic. And it was.
"He's my kid." Really the only thing that needed to be said. Earlier in this episode Wilson was the one who argued that the love a parent has for their child is unconditional, whereas House believes that everything is conditional.
But whether it's unconditional or not that love is real, and whatever condition might or might not be attached to it doesn't stop a father from sacrificing his own life for the sake of his son's. A parent who wishes to do that doesn't have to justify themselves: it's their child, and that's all the reason they'll ever need.
Dude. Wilson. Best character on the show.
I love how wilson was just like... off to get an alibi and then house said ya I figured
I didnt notice until a rewatch, but when Wilson leaves, he takes house's cane with him. Already thinking ahead, best friend for life :)
They mention that in the episode, Wilson tells House people saw him with the cane downstairs
