Maggie Verne:
Rob, what is it?
Dr. Robert Verne:
It's methylmercury poisoning, that's what it is. This whole place has been contaminated.
Maggie Verne:
How do you know?
Dr. Robert Verne:
The Indians eat the fish, and they behave like they're drunk when they haven't had a drop of liquor. That raccoon convulsing and turning vicious, its brain turned to mush. Even that old man, that Indian, you saw the burns on his fingers.
Maggie Verne:
Is that from mercury?
Dr. Robert Verne:
It's from cigarettes; the reason he didn't feel it is from mercury. You see, it acts on the nervous system; it destroys the brain.
