Dr. Harper quotes from Grimm

Dr. Harper

Well, it's definitely a puncture wound. But I can't tell you what made it. I've never seen a needle gauge this big.

Nick

So was she allergic to apitoxin?

Dr. Harper

No. But medical records never kept anyone from dying. I found close to 50 milligrams of apitoxin in her system. A bee sting carries about .1 milligram.

Hank

That would make it a bee the size of LeBron James.

Dr. Harper

More like the big three combined.

Nick

Okay, sports fans.

Nick

You get a tox report?

Dr. Harper

Preliminary says she had a few drinks, not a lot. Alcohol was .06.

Nick

Well, what about drugs?

Dr. Harper

So far, none of the usual suspects. Finding the unusual's going to take a little more time.

Hank

What about the wounds on his neck?

Nick

Well It could be vampires, or someone who wants to be a vampire. Or somebody who wants to get a lot of blood fast. These are about the size of an IV needle. My hope, it's an IV. Okay. So, how does a kid get stuck in the neck with an IV needle and end up in a river going over a waterfall?

Dr. Harper

I saw a lot of this sort of stuff in the late 80's. When the Satanic cults were all the rage. But not lately. Maybe they're making a comeback.

Hank

So, what killed him?

Dr. Harper

Oh, he drowned. But my guess is he drowned because he was incredibly weak from loss of blood.

Hank

So, was it an accident or a homicide?

Nick

Nobody puts IV needles in their neck by accident.

Dr. Harper

I started digging, guess what I found in his stomach.

Hank

Dinner?

Dr. Harper

If you like to eat money. I prefer to spend it. I guess he was really trying to take it with him.
