I actually thought that scene could have been done better. Obviously if you'd played the game you could figure it out pretty easily, but if you came into this blind it wouldn't be a total stretch to watch that and think that in the intervening 20 years they'd developed some sort of treatment and that was what the "medicine" was, and it wasn't completely obvious that the kid in the back of the truck was the same one from the scene before. They should've left the scene running a bit longer and made it explicit that the medicine killed him.
