But he was lying to himself and he knew it

​@@thewind6047 Not really seeing the lie in that statement, it was said because that he wanted to keep torturing himself to the very end.

@@sws212 Right he did, because he believed he deserved it. On some level yes, but if it were me in his shoes. "Gracie, its your father. I know i wasn't there for you, and i'm so sorry. I know this means little, but I needed to say it. I love you." Is probably what I would of said. On the outside might mean little, especially if Gracie calls up her mom and tells her what happens. Maybe some harsh words come from mother, and the daughter semi-sorta agrees with them. However, now imagine both Mom and daughter learn that he passed away. A father's last words on this earth of meaning were to tell his daughter that he loved her. Still might not really hit her, but may years down the road, it hits Gracie. My father was thinking of me at the end. that I feel is a bit of closure. Both my mother and father passed away suddenly at different times. I never got say good bye, won't get to hear their voices again, but in my memories. I try to tell her, and show her that I love her often. So that incase, the same happens to me, and I leave her suddenly. That she will always have those memories. Took time to get over the pain, and there are times and days I still get down.. But then a memory comes to me, or someone says something that sparks a memory. And I smile again. I think for the character Gracie, in time that lil message might bring just a shred of that to her. I know i'm going on, but my point is. I think the more selfish thing would be to leave things unsaid, and that the more selfless thing, though it may not seem like it at first, is to for him to face his own pain, and shame, and to get those words off his chest. Because like I said, may not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but maybe someday they will bring closure.

@@talisredstar1543 im sorry mate for the things that happened to you but maybe you should seek a psychiatrist because from what i have read you have conflicted feelings with the sprinkle of deep sorrow whitch is understandable but that combination usually results in fighting deamons down the line and its a loosing battle alone

This made me cry my eyes out.

Same, although it crushes me on the part he says she changed him and then she left.

Was it cuddy did she leave?

@@pasteurvo6217 no a girl he met when he was in the psychward, she was visiting her sister I think

@@pasteurvo6217 No, the woman played by Sela Ward. She's the one responsible for him being a cripple. His leg was badly injured and infected,doctors said it should be amputated because surgery to remove all the damage to save the leg, would leave him in horrible pain, crippled, and on crutches or using a cane until he died. Without any surgery he would die from the septic wound and blood poisoning. He forbid any kind of surgery. He didn't want to live without a leg or in terrible pain until he died. His wife gave permission to save his leg and his life, when he was out of his head (I think). He hated her for doing that to him and they couldn't go on together.

@@genkatqltr737 no the one he is talking about here is the one on the psych ward who is visiting her sister in law who isnt talking, they had an affair after the sister in law got cured she left with her husband

One of the few times house showed true remorse.

@@827Drew I would too, but it's missing a laugh track.

Would it have actually made a difference? It sounds like whatever he had wasn't really treatable

@@Matt-wg9xn I think it was in the earlier stages. If not treatable then at it could be slowed down but this was needed because house is sitting with someone he could have saved and if not then made life longer, so in essence this person is at deaths door and house feels he put him there. He feels he put him there because the man wasn’t interesting enough and the fact that the dying person doesn’t lash out as much because he may want house to be with him makes it all the more depressing. There is something wrong when you have to sit through the most painful hours of your life knowing you are going to die while you seek comfort from someone who could have saved but didn’t because they were bored.

@@nasis18 House shows remorse, pain, regret, sympathy, and sadness frequently

there's another one, this woman who lost her entire family and became homeless and had rabies. that one stuck with me.

One of the saddest ones was where a building falls on this dudes girlfriend, she survives and they spend the whole episode trying to save her but at the end he figures out it wasn't his girlfriend that survived but a similar looking co worker.

Also the one where this soldier decides to amputate his perfectly fine leg so he can stay with his wife while she gives birth instead of getting sent to the Middle East.

@@lean.2366 A really sad one also is "House Training" where Foreman presses for the patient to get a full body radiation treatment but it turned out she only had a Staph Infection from a cut from her bra hook and her immune system was completely destroyed. Foreman stays with her until her quick end. Then at the end of the episode he seeks solace from his mom but she can't offer any. Alzheimer's has destroyed her brain, she has no idea she's hugging her son and Foreman cries. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtd_aZaTs7GVoXk.html

How are you going to discuss sad House episodes, and not even mention Amber's death?

@Veng - So true - And, I've seen this actor dozens of times. He was always good in his roles. Yet, I can't recall his name. That's one of the strengths and dilemmas of a character actor. The strength being that they, as actors, are invisible in their roles. They become the character they are playing, without the audience seeing a personality of the actor that intrudes on the role he is playing.

@@theolamp5312 He's the always-excellent David Strathairn.

I thank Alan Moore for *V For Vendetta* He made me realize.... *I was a HoUsE* :/ I was hurting myself by pushing YOU out.

Yeah, I'm in tears almost every clip :)

The secret ingredient is to actually kidnap dying people and force them to say stuff in front of a camera

And true, but without any vindictiveness.

I think the reason this patient was able to get to House was because he was able to rebuke House without any pettiness. A lot of people have tried to match House's intellect or his sarcasm or nastiness. But this patient managed to do it purposefully because he hit House where it was the most personal.

@@silentwalker434 Those who walk the same path see one another. House and him are alike, once you know good you see good, once you know evil you see evil. Once you see a person who has no confidence, but a fake shield to protect themselves, because you have the same. You know it.

i've always read this part of the episode as a cautionary tale for House--at what would've become of him too, if he continued down his attitude at life and how he treats the closed ones around him. him teasing the dying man was his way of testing at how bad it would be for him when it's his time. how insightful he is at what's going on in the dying man's life is due to his ability to apply his own state of mind onto the patient's.

For some reason she sounds exactly like my co worker Gracie like no joke so I can’t take it serious 😂😂

I think House almost always felt something he was just good at hiding it

Humour.

@@catrionacolville2192 humor

@@altonb93 nope.

@@catrionacolville2192 It's both based of geographical location but nice try

@StoneBuzzard I think the original comment is because Hugh Laurie is a British actor, so the British spelling is more fitting

It's good, but imo James Earl Jones takes that prize.

@@WalterLiddy James Earl Jones was great but that storyline was pretty muddled.

Not true. He also appears in an earlier episode.

fk house,that man could have lived

@@Sifat_Rashid it's not his fault, he can't take every case, so many people want him to be their doctor and he can only deal with so much.

can someone explain that line to me? it just isn't registering with me lol

@@Therockster12 He's essentially saying that even though he will die one way or another, he could have lived his life differently.

Why does this remind me of Oogway's saying?

I've noticed that too.

He really is - I came to the comments to see if anyone knew it was him. I don’t think any performance of his will top Klaes Ashford

@The Architect you haven't seen Delores Claiborne have you?

He usually always plays some evil US Government boss pulling the strings behind the black curtain. Nice to see him out of his element.

​@@12jazon I mostly know him as Klaus Ashford from the Expanse, and he was easily one of the best characters in the show.

Also the way the show ended showed how much he cares

You write like a writer

I wish everyone saw the show like you do, I see so many people calling him a narcissist, who enjoys being cruel to people.

​@@shydreameress264 Ah, but he does enjoy being cruel to people. He can be a narcissist without being a psychopath. He's a complex character.

@@shydreameress264 I think he does enjoy it. Only that it's pyrrhic joy. He punishes himself by hurting others and pushing them away.

FlyAwayTodie this is your Father I.. Love.. You...(cries)

That's actually a really interesting theory.

@@edwardterry9468 Barely a theory at this point given how invested he gets almost every time he meets them. His distance is an attempt to keep himself impartial.

@@wolffang489 a lot of doctors tent to do that. I mean, could you work with people who sometimes will die for reasons completely out of your control, repeatedly for years? I am the type of person that tent to form bonds easily and faster than usual with people and I think this is the most important reason of why I'll never be able to be a doctor, even before the fact that I puke every time I see blood running

I bet he made the diagnosis and knew the guy was going to die the minute he read the file. That's why he didn't want to take the case, because he knew there was nothing he could do to save him. He didn't want to get invested in a person he couldn't fix.

I mean that sounds like a cool theory but then again not really. It’s clearly stated in the episode every doctor thought it was a heart problem. House literally said he didn’t take it because it was a heart problem and boring. Guy said it started as a tooth ache and House is immediately puzzled and interested. Have to pay attention my guy

Oh well, we can't all be saved.

Hidden Secrets this making the entire hour worthless

Hidden Secrets You people don’t give house m.d the credit it deserves. It is unrealistic but when it comes to exploring the human nature it is as real as they get.

@@princesurein7275 Medicine is just nice addition. Its bout ppl. Thats what this show truly is.

That's why the scene is so painful. Because there is no last second change. Nothing that was missed. It's just a case House didn't take, and that meant no one else could see it until it was too late.

She starts at 9, he waited until he was sure she wouldn't pick up.

Maybe you should have been a better daughter

@@dinosorbutt ur an idiot 🙄

But yesterday would be different.

He's not wrong, but, when you consider the larger context, he's also not right. House is, for all his bluster, deeply fearful. He's terrified of love, because losing it hurts. The problem is, as he says, we all suffer and die alone anyway. Refusing to risk additional pain won't change that. All it does do is make the inevitable suffering meaningless. Love makes pain worthwhile, because at least your suffering has a chance of making things better for someone who you think deserves it.

Prior to that he was after James Bond.

@@rachelgoldenburg2241 I barely know anything about Odysseus, but based on the comments above I think it's an easy guess that Odysseus had a history of whimpering like a loser

@@philistine3260 Odysseus was a coward... I think.

By the end of the story, I was secretly hoping Odysseus would get killed. Omg, with your fucking WHINING dude…. The fact that Kratos didn’t kill him in god of war was a severely missed opportunity for my personal catharsis.

Klapa

Where are you from?

My partner and I do the same. We always tell each other how we feel, I believe that that's so important. ♥

Damn emotions hit me like a truck

I wish I had done this. My partner died suddenly 6 months ago and I will never get to tell him how much he meant to me. I regret hurts just as much as being without him. I'm heartbroken.

I try to do it before bed too, we’re young but still. Get in the habit cause you never know

If a bus runs over you they won't know what you had for supper that day, so clearly false

Great quote to keep in mind

I didn’t get it

@@xoxjelloxox it means pretty much that even though he will be dead in a few hours no matter what, he could’ve had a different path in life and be a different and better person. It seems like he is advising House to not go down the same route and fix himself before it’s too late. Simple rebuttal but good God!! so powerful

@@hectorguzman8435 oh I see thanks for the explaination

"What is today but yesterday's tomorrow" ~Mr Krabs

Been through too much to care about other humans pain and sufferings. I don't take pride in my lack of emotions. But it's just who I am now.

Thank you thank you

They didn't, I feel very few emotions

ye i know i am dead af from the inside.

My eyes teared up at the end. I'm still dead inside though. So congratulations?

same thing for me.... it was actually just 2 weeks ago she left. I still kind of keep hoping i will have the chance to prove the changes, be there as she wanted. I don't know though.... might be too fed up with my previous attitude

Well i dont know if this will change abything but my mom used to say dont focus on people or relationships. Just remember the good memories of your life and interactions life is too unpredictable.

@@drektar1 Me too. I drove 800 miles as a last resort to see if we could make it, but then got told to go away & never come back. I am a changed person. For the better? For now it is very hard to tell. It has been almost a year.

Same. 9 years with the man that I loved, then one day I come home and he's left and I never saw him again. No good bye. No indication whatsoever that he was unhappy. No explanation given. He even took MY dog with him. That was 4 years ago and I feel the same way. It changes you in a way I never imagined possible.

Who is he referring to

Great in LA Confidential

Also great in The Expanse. Always a treat to see him in almost anything he does.

Also in "Good-night & Good Luck".

Holy crap i didn't recognize him. Always love seeing him though. He's great in The River Wild.

Be careful... we never know what tomorrow will offer to us. It can be heaven on earth and in a second switch to a lonely nightmare.

Are you afraid to be 'alone'? I hope you can address that and find peace in this life. As do I.

One day we will all know your pain, there after we will feel your strength

So no head

Sorry for your loss

iDemandU90 would you be able to explain the context of this episode? Like why is he locked in? Haha

ArticularsCA Firstly, this episode was directed by Hugh Laurie himself. It's amazing, go watch it. The hospital goes on lockdown because a baby goes missing.

He's a chameleon. You see him in movies, and you see his characters, not him. Amazing actor. But I'm sure his accent in The Expanse was faked, normally he speaks General American, I think.

@@easternlights3155 His accent for The Expanse was "Belter". What the show's creators imagined them to sound like.

Is this before or after he gets shot? My biggest problem with this show is that House is given opportunities to change with epiphanies over and over and over... But he chooses each time to go back to his old habits.

@@wowalamoiz9489 that's cause' he's house.

Agreed. Maybe my favorite.

You spend time with the interpretations, not with the real deal.

@@RandalfElVikingo We are all interpreting other peoples based on what we see and hear about their words and actions. Having a physical encounter with somebody else's meat vehicle can give you clues to who they are... but so can reading their life story, or their journal, or the letters they wrote to their friends and family, or looking at the clothes they wore, or recreating their daily routine.

U r very pretty

And still this is not really high. People can’t usually understand morphine isn’t the best. Must be fentanyl for people in death bed

I am so sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine the pain and grief. Sending you loving vibes. Remember her Life. Not her death.💔💔💔

May she Rest In Peace. If you don’t want to respond I understand but was it sudden or did your family know it was coming?

Apparently only when he knows that person is taking the knowledge of it to his grave.

Well, they did date.

Same thing here, i can never forget this absolute legend

Arthur Spiderwick’s daughter’s name was Lucy tho

it was your father

Who did he play in the expanse?
