SPOILERS!!!
Oliver finds himself pressed for time, trying to bring evidence to get Dinah free. Monk, Runcorn and Hester try to find information. The key is in the Opium Wars, and then Monk goes to talk to a woman who runs a clinic for poor people. The woman tells him about the new way to use opium through a hollow needle. Through her he gets into contact with a doctor, who was friends with Dr Lambourn and is an addict. Monk discovers that this was something that needed to be hidden as addicts fell into an abyss from which they could not escape.
Two doctors testify at the trial, Dr Winfarthing, who knew the study, and Dr Doulting, the one who is now addicted to opium after he got injured and tried opium intravenously. Oliver also questions the government people again, Sinden Bawtry and Barclay Herne. Through good questioning Oliver finally proves that Dinah is innocent, and the one who killed both Dr Lambourn and Zenia Gadney was Amity Herne, Lambourn's sister. He and Bawtry are in a relationship and she knew that her brother's findings would mean the end for her lover's ambitions. And when Dinah kept saying that Joel had been murdered, she killed Zenia as a way to pin the blame on Dinah.
This was a very exciting case for Monk, Hester and Oliver.
