I know it's gonna take

a few days to clear.

Okay. Here we go.

Thanks very much.

Appreciate it.

Mr. Kaminsky's death came as

he was shot dead in his home,

The victim of an

apparent intruder.

He came to prominence as one of

the community's leading doctors,

Heralding a field of study --

Heralding a field of study...

dealing with ways to heal...

incurable diseases

and prolong life.

Interesting item.

Yeah, it is.

Thinking of bidding?

No. I'm not much

of a collector.

Maybe you wouldn't mind telling

me why you canceled my online bid.

It was for a small box.

You are the owner of

Second Chances, right?

Yeah. I know the one.

You're Poe, right?

Alex Poe.

Susan Jordan.

And, it's not against

the rules.

Yes, I know.

I just thought it

was curious that

You would turn down

such a generous offer.

Now we're both here,

Looking at this book,

but...

that's just happenstance,

I suppose.

That means a coincidence

or a chance --

I know what happenstance

means.

I see.

Good luck, Miss Jordan.

Good luck.

Hi.

Good morning, good morning!

You're in a good mood.

Not getting up in the middle of the

night to throw up will do that to you.

In fact,

I'm gonna order breakfast.

Do you want something?

You never eat in

the morning.

It makes you sick.

I'm feeling hungry.

Lemme help you with that.

I got it.

May I help you?

I'm here to see

Dr. McAllister.

Do you have an appointment?

Doctor...

Susan. What's the matter?

We need to run some tests.

Alright.

Right now!

No vomiting?

No pains of any kind?
