It doesn’t make any sense. Dangerous? Dr. Phalen? Even if he’s personally responsible for defrauding Hurley-Cooper, Amy can’t believe that the man would make any attempt to harm her personally. This is not some violence-prone street-person with a long criminal history. This is a man who’s devoted his life to science. A man who’s always spoken to her, to everyone, in her experience, with the manners of an Old World gentleman: polite to a fault, kind and considerate, and rather charming. Dangerous? That’s just not possible.
