Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany, 2005. In a factory break room, a machinist poisons his coworkers for years, using lead acetate, mercury, and cadmium. A young student worker dies. Others carry permanent damage. In this episode, we look at the case from a perspective that has rarely been explored: the biochemical one. How do these three heavy metals actually work inside the body? Why did it take so long for anyone to look? And what could medicine have done... if it had looked in time?
