I need to know what your plans are.
First we take Berlin and then we circle around behind Poland and yell "surprise!".
“Brave Heart” · Season 6, Episode 6
In this episode: Gregory House (4), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (2), Robert Chase (2), Eric Foreman (1)
You've a little devil on your shoulder told you to kill a guy. And you've got a little angel won't shut up. Telling you, you're going to burn in a lake of fire.
I'm fine!
You shouldn't be! Talk to someone. Docs fixed me up in 7 weeks. You're... 10 minutes, tops.
[after allegedly dead patient regains consciousness during autopsy] He was briefly conscious, then his systolic dipped below sixty and he was out again.
Differential diagnosis for resurrection - go.
[Chase is sitting in a church confessional]
Bless me father, for I have sinned.
PPriest
Take your time. How long has it been since your last confession?
I killed a man.
PPriest
Oh.
It was the right thing to do.
PPriest
Who lives or dies is not your decision to make.
Sometimes in an operating room it feels like it. I'm a doctor.
PPriest
Well then you should know more than anybody that every human life is sacred.
Why? Tell me what's sacred about a dictator who kills hundreds of thousands of his own people.
PPriest
What is sacred about a doctor who kills a patient?
Is it just the slippery slope you're worried about? Afraid if for forgiving me for killing the worst person on Earth sets a bad precedent? I promise, I won't tell anyone. Just forgive me.
PPriest
Saying ten Hail Marys isn't going to do you any good.
Look, what do I have to do? What does God need me to do?
PPriest
You can't have absolution without first taking responsibility. You have to turn yourself in to the police.
What and go to jail for the rest of my life? What's just about that? I did the right thing! There has to be another way.
PPriest
You want absolution? I told you how to get it.
I sent this in to the State Licensing Board. I've signed off on all your hours.
Why?
Because it's easier this way.
You're uncomfortable with me.
No. Going by the book is pointless. You're gonna learn nothing.
Good. I thought it was because of the sexual tension.
There was no sexual tension.
There was tension. And it made me feel funny, so...
Here. [hands him the letter]
It's too bad. I was kinda getting into the whole hot for teacher thing.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah. False alarm... what about us?
We're good, just like this. You press my buttons, I press yours.
By buttons you mean... [epiphany] huh... [on his way out] You do make me feel funny.
