Lucy : really, you know what he suffers ?
Doctor : yes, we are 90% sure, but I'll need you, to understand some things
Lucy : what is it, what can I do ?
Doctor : *to John and Angela* can I ask you to wait in the hallway while I talk with Ms. Chen?
Lucy : They can't stay? I would be more comfortable if they stayed
Doctor : As you want. So, this is all due to poisoning
Lucy : poisoning ?
Doctor : yes, 2 stage poisoning. The first consists of ingesting a molecule and the second consists of somehow activating it
Lucy : And how does it work?
Doctor : generally, the molecule is ingested by the victim through food or drink. This is where I'm going to need you. Have you eaten foods processed or prepared by someone else?
Lucy : Yes, just before he found himself in this state, Tim had ordered food, could that come from that?
Doctor: that's definitely what it comes from. Then for activation it happens because of inhaling a particular smoke. Have you been close to smoke after this ordered meal?
Lucy : no, I don't think so
Doctor : u sure ?
Lucy : oh yes maybe, when we were at the beach, a strange man passed quite close to us even though there was plenty of room, he was smoking a cigarette but it didn't smell like the usual tobacco or any other drugs that we are used to encounter as a police officer.
Doctor : that's it, that's the reason
Lucy : why is he the only one infected ? I was there too. I should have been infected too
Doctor : did you eat all your food ?
Lucy : no, I couldn't eat a lot. I ate just a little
Doctor : that's the reason, in this type of attack, it is necessary to ingest a large quantity of the molecule in question
Lucy : what is the molecule and is there a treatment ?
Doctor : we don't know what molecule it is, it is still unknown to scientists, it is a new method of attack. As we don't know the molecule, we don't have a treatment either. Mr Bradford is likely to need a lung transplant. Do you agree if I write your boyfriend's name on the waiting list?
Lucy : ye... Yes of course
Doctor : I'm going to do it, but you should talk with the police, this is an attempt of murder
*The doctor leaves the room*
*John and Angela go to Lucy, she bursts in tears, they hug her tight*
Angela: we're going to need you to come to the station to report what happened, Wesley can take Tim's case too
Lucy : *crying* thank you
