It takes a heroic level of dedication to be willing to die for a cause... but it takes an altogether higher (some would say crazy) level of dedication to be willing to kill yourself for a cause. Sometimes, a particularly devoted henchman will not only be willing to kill themselves but will carry around a mechanism to do this cleanly and quickly should the need ever arise. The classic example is the Cyanide Pill carried in a hollow fake tooth — the henchman simply opens the tooth with his tongue, bites down on the pill, and lets death embrace him. It should be noted that this takes an altogether far higher level of devotion than that possessed by the standard Mook-for-hire. Absolute belief in the rightness of the cause is necessary for someone to take this step. Therefore, it's usually employed by cultists and secret agents in service to their country. However, it can also be used to imply that the Big Bad is so terrifying that death is preferable to the punishment he would visit upon his henchmen for failure. If you are facing a Fate Worse than Death, a Cyanide Pill would be your friend. This one has some basis in real life — though uncommon, various spy agencies have issued suicide pills/devices to field agents to use in case of capture. U-2 pilot Gary Powers was carrying cyanide when he was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960 but opted not to use it. Use of the cyanide pill by villainous characters may be due to the historical use of such devices by many of the high Nazi leadership at the end of WWII who chose suicide over capture and punishment by the Allied forces (see Real Life section below for more details). Allegedly, Adolf Hitler himself, due to paranoia that it would not be effective, took one but opted to also shoot himself. Compare and contrast Self-Destruct Mechanism and Leave Behind a Pistol. A Sister Trope to Suicide by Pills, which focuses on any character intentionally overdosing on medicine in pill form to commit suicide. See also Better to Die than Be Killed. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Watchmen, the hitman that tries to kill Adrian Veidt takes one of these after his attack fails. Except not really, as Veidt had secretly hired him (trusting in his own skills to keep him alive). In order to silence the unfortunate Mook, Veidt forces a cyanide pill into his mouth while pretending he is trying to stop him from committing suicide. | |

A little over halfway through the novel Thud!, Sam Vimes is attacked in his home by agents of the "deep down" dwarves he suspects of trying to cover up a murder. One of the dwarfish agents survives and is captured, but not for long, as Vimes discovers the dwarf has succumbed to a slow-acting poison he and the others took before going on their mission. | |

Arrow: The Ghost soldiers working for H.I.V.E. in Season 4 are very quick to use these if captured, which makes interrogating them nigh-impossible. Anarky gets around this problem by tasering someone he wants to interrogate and ripping out the tooth concerned, which he keeps as a Creepy Souvenir. In "Crisis on Earth-X", our heroes capture the Alternate Self of Tommy Merlyn from a Nazi-dominated Earth. Oliver Queen tries to convince him to defect, which Tommy-X briefly plays along with before mocking Oliver for his sentimentality, then removing a false tooth and biting down on it, proudly dying for his Reich. |

If This Goes On—: The protagonist is told that the Inquisitors have gotten wise to the hollow tooth trick, but La Résistance has developed different methods, including one you can use if your hands are tightly bound behind your back — being held in that position, which you can't do without conscious effort, ruptures the poison capsule. The man explaining this mentions that in his case he has a bomb implanted in his belly that will kill not only himself but anyone else in the room. | |

Subverted in Kick-Ass 2. Hit-Girl has a syringe she tells Dave is only to be used "when you're about to die," hinting that it's this. She pulls it out in the final battle with Mother Russia, who likewise assumes it's poison (though she assumes Hit-Girl is trying to poison her) and injects Hit-Girl with it. Turns out, it's pure adrenaline, to give you a better chance fighting, not to put you out of your misery. | |

In the popular Soviet series Seventeen Moments of Spring, a man is recruited as an informant by Stirlits (Soviet spy in Nazi Germany) and given a suicide pill hidden in a cigarette, an obvious Chekhov's Gun. He is later cornered by Nazi counter-intelligence agents and proceeds to take the pill... and jump out the window for good measure. | |

In a particularly sad example, Terry Fawles in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations drinks the poison in Dahlia Hawthorne's bottle necklace before going to trial because they promised each other that if they doubted their love for each other, they would drink from it. Of course, Dahlia didn't drink it because she never loved Terry as he loved her. She was just using him as a scapegoat to commit her crimes and since he was easily swayed by his love for her and would do anything she asked of him, including killing himself. He dies during the trial when the main characters are close to solving the case — thus implicating Dahlia — with his testimony. It was this case that affected Mia Fey very greatly and was foreshadowed in the first case of the game. | |

Sword of Vermilion features an item called Banshee Powder. You take it, and it kills you, bringing you back to the last church you visited. However, it's quite advantageous to use it in situations you can't get yourself out of without dying (such as being poisoned and too far away from town), as you don't have to pay the church a fee if you use banshee powder. | |

An Australian naval officer who is on the mission has the difficult task of talking his wife into euthanizing their baby daughter, and then herself, if he hasn't returned by the time the end comes. | |

If it fails they carry a backup pill inside one of their molars. SCP-1569 ("Jumbo Shrimp"). Six days after the humanoid SCP-1569-1 left SCP-1569, it committed suicide with poison hidden in one of its molars. It did so once it realized it would be confined by the Foundation indefinitely. |

In The Agency, the CIA provides a Russian scientist with a poison injection device disguised as a ballpoint pen. It was established that a squad of Russian security agents was hunting down those communicating information to the west, and shoving them into lit furnaces; punishment for traitors. The pen was meant to be a merciful option if the scientist was caught. Instead, the scientist used the pen as a weapon to take out the last boss agent. | |

In Contact, Jodie Foster's character is given a suicide pill to use if anything goes wrong, such as being marooned or an incomprehensible Fate Worse than Death. According to the film, every NASA astronaut and test pilot is given one of these, for emergencies where dying quickly would be a mercy. In his book Lost Moon, Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell mentioned that this had been a rumor for some time and that it was not true — it would be much easier simply to open the main hatch and depressurize the spacecraft. | |

(For comparison, in the anime, a giant box wired with explosives is above her head. Should Marik will it, the box will drop, and the explosives detonated, killing her instantly.) | |

Discworld: A little over halfway through the novel Thud!, Sam Vimes is attacked in his home by agents of the "deep down" dwarves he suspects of trying to cover up a murder. One of the dwarfish agents survives and is captured, but not for long, as Vimes discovers the dwarf has succumbed to a slow-acting poison he and the others took before going on their mission. In Monstrous Regiment, a captured enemy spy does his best to eat the military secrets he's been entrusted with, conveniently written on rice paper. A few moments later the spy dies, and the good guys realize the manual was poisoned. His orders to eat the papers were not only intended to protect the manual but also to execute the hapless spy. |

The TV series Martial Law does this in a particularly disturbing way. A few episodes deal with a cult whose Mooks carry a Cyanide Pill that's surgically embedded in their pinky finger. When cornered, they break their finger (with a sickening crick noise), the pill breaks along with the bones and kills them very quickly indeed. It doesn't take long before this is used as a nonstandard Pressure Point, by both the good guys (after establishing how hard it is to take them alive) and other members. | |

Rather than swallow it, he drops it in the cup of the agent driving him. The poison kills the driver, causing the car to crash, and allowing him to escape. Also, turns out he got it from a Russian spy he captured, who apparently never got the chance to use it either. | |

Metal Gear: Snake hides a pill on his person in the event that he's captured by the Russians in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. However, it's not a death pill, it's a potassium cyanide capsule that merely dulls his vital signs to appear dead. After the enemies inspect his body and leave, he can activate his Revive pill hidden in his tooth and come back to life, complete with the "Game Over" music playing backwards. Snake needs to activate his Revive pill fairly quickly, otherwise, he dies for real. The Revival pill is also key to solving a Puzzle Boss: During a particularly trippy boss "fight", Snake is inevitably killed... but his inventory is still accessible. All the bosses likewise have a microbomb planted in themselves, which detonate once they die in battle with Snake. There's some oddities to a few of them - The Fear's causes a rain of crossbow bolts to shoot out in every direction like he was some sort of human-shaped grenade, and The Fury's turns into some sort of actual flaming, flying skull that chases Snake out of the arena. The Boss', meanwhile, takes a while to kick in after her death, because the poignancy of that scene would be ruined if she blew up right in front of Snake or something. Every single female mook in Metal Gear Solid 4 gets one of the Cardassian varieties, much to the dismay of every red-blooded male playing. Kojima is such an epic troll he won't even explain why their bodies burn up on death - we're left to assume that, like everything else in the game, it's nanomachines. |

James Bond: In Dr. No, the enemy driver kills himself with a cyanide cigarette. Thunderball. Bond Girl Paula Kaplan takes cyanide rather than face interrogation by SPECTRE thugs. In a cruel irony, Bond would have arrived in time to save her if she hadn't. Bond is supplied with a cyanide pill hidden in his briefcase o' tricks in the book From Russia with Love. He flushes it down the toilet. In Licence to Kill, a Hong Kong narcotics agent bites down on one when confronted by Sanchez for questioning. In The World Is Not Enough, the Cigar Girl Assassin blows herself up rather than face arrest from MI6, or worse yet, punishment (for failing to kill Bond) from Renard. In Die Another Day, M asks Bond why he didn't take his pill when captured. Bond replies that he got rid of it years ago. Raoul Silva in Skyfall attempted to commit suicide using a hydrogen cyanide implant in one of his molars during his capture, torture, and imprisonment by the Chinese after M's betrayal. The suicide attempt failed, horrifically scarring Silva both mentally and physically. It should be noted that's not how hydrogen cyanide works, but the writers may have assumed otherwise from its alternate name: prussic acid. A technical version in the original script of Spectre, where it's Q who is captured by the bad guys, rather than the Bond Girl. Bond finds his hotel room in disarray and that he's trashed his laptop so they cannot get their hands on the sensitive government files it holds. |

Schlock Mercenary: In an early comic, Tagon attempts to interrogate the captain of an alien terrorist ship that Petey captured, who requests some suicide pills and hot cocoa. Turns out that he doesn't need the suicide pills due to his species' allergy to chocolate. In the following comic, Tagon and Petey discover that his species is also fatally allergic to tea, coffee, and alcohol. The captive actually added "suicide pill" into his request for otherwise ordinary (for humans) refreshments, knowing that Tagon would notice and refuse it but possibly allow the rest of them. That makes the move a Censor Decoy in the form of a Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick. Para Ventura has a remotely triggered poison capsule in one of her teeth, another tooth contains instant-hack nanites and yet another has Tagii's kill-switch. Her handlers also inserted a bomb in her neck, but she didn't know about that one. |

Parodied in Sam & Fuzzy. Fuzzy is sent in alone to perform a burglary and finds something resembling a Cyanide Pill in his equipment... Which turns out to be a jelly bean. In the event of his capture, he is to eat it as a reminder that if he keeps his mouth shut, he can have the rest of the bag afterward. | |

The title character of 009-1 has one, but she uses it in a unique manner. After being captured, she manipulates a guard into kissing her, and while he does so, she tongues the pill into his mouth. Once the guard is dead, she picks the locks to her restraints and escapes. | |

Every single female mook in Metal Gear Solid 4 gets one of the Cardassian varieties, much to the dismay of every red-blooded male playing. Kojima is such an epic troll he won't even explain why their bodies burn up on death - we're left to assume that, like everything else in the game, it's nanomachines. | |

According to Colonel Phillips later in the movie, every HYDRA soldier the Howling Commandos of the 107th Infantry manage to capture does the same thing. Except Dr. Arnim Zola, which tips Phillips off that Zola is willing to bargain for his life. | |

Pathfinder: In the adventure path Curse of the Crimson Throne, Red Mantis Assassins can choose to disintegrate themselves when killed, making them harder to resurrect or interrogate posthumously (which is the important bit, since only the willing can be resurrected). In the adventure path Skull and the Shackles, the players' ship is attacked by sahuagin (evil Fish People) raiders with pufferfish spines concealed in their mouths. If a raider is captured or incapacitated, he swallows the spine and lets its toxin kill him. |

Aomame, in turn, reminds him that a pill can be easily ripped out of her hands or mouth and you can't exactly threaten the life or lives of one's captors with a single pill. | |

The hunter is surprised that a Goa'uld would do something like that (not realizing the difference between the two factions). The weapons used by za'tarcs include an explosive self-destruct. As revealed in "The Tomb" (much to O'Neill's disgust), the Russian teams sent through the Stargate were each given a cyanide pill in case they couldn't return. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Vorta diplomats each carry a termination "button" in their jawline to negate any attempt at interrogation. Ordinary poison wouldn't do the trick since Vorta are designed at birth to be immune to most toxins. The implant sends a signal to a Vorta's brainstem, triggering a quick, profoundly painful death (the Founders told the Vorta their deaths would be painless, but this was proven to be bogus). During his attempt to defect to the Federation, Weyoun 6 is dogged around space by Dominion agents, who demand that he kill himself. He finally relents when a Jem'Hadar fleet threatens to open fire on the runabout shuttle he was sharing with Odo. ("Treachery, Faith, and the Great River") Promazine is a literal pill of Cardassian origin that not only kills someone but causes their body to crumble into dust within a few hours, leaving no trace. ("Covenant") In the episode "Extreme Measures", Sloan, an agent of the very secretive Section 31, triggers a "neuro-depolarizing device" when he's captured by Dr. Bashir. This not only kills him but starts destroying his brain and all the secrets within; Bashir has to delay this process long enough to get some crucial information from Sloan's mind. |

In Girl Genius, Moloch von Zinzer is offered one when he's about to be sent to a particularly nasty prison/forced-labor camp. He takes it but doesn't use it, and now that he's back in the story many readers suspect it's a Chekhov's Gun. Given all the stuff that von Zinzer drinks one has to wonder if the poison actually would kill him... or even if he's already tried to take it. Also, the Castle already have a dispenser with this stuff anyway. | |

Raoul Silva in Skyfall attempted to commit suicide using a hydrogen cyanide implant in one of his molars during his capture, torture, and imprisonment by the Chinese after M's betrayal. The suicide attempt failed, horrifically scarring Silva both mentally and physically. It should be noted that's not how hydrogen cyanide works, but the writers may have assumed otherwise from its alternate name: prussic acid. | |

In the NCIS episode "Shabbat Shalom", the man who kills Eli David and Jackie Vance is wounded and cornered by Ziva and Gibbs; rather than let himself be arrested, he bites a poisoned cigarette and is dead within seconds. In the subsequent episode, "Shiva", Ducky's autopsy reveals that the assassin already had terminal liver cancer and less than six months to live, but that does not excuse him taking what Ducky describes as "an escape for cowards." | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Off Balance", Batman corners two of Count Vertigo's henchmen, who gas themselves to death using a hidden catch in their masks rather than allow themselves to be captured. Batman later explains to Commissioner Gordon that they had "erased their own memories" when cornered, but from the way they're drawn convulsing and ending up with vacant dead stares on their faces, it's obvious that only the Never Say "Die" clause kept their demise from being outright stated. | |

Animorphs: In The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, the Arn bioengineer themselves to die if they are taken over by a yeerk. In The Andalite Chronicles, Esplin 9466 aka Sub-Visser Seven mentions that no Yeerk has successfully infested an Andalite since they immediately use their tail-blades on themselves when captured. He is able to pull this off thanks to Elfangor rendering Alloran unconscious. Esplin being the first Yeerk to acquire an Andalite host (one with a lot of military secrets in his head to boot) puts him on the fast track to promotion. In the series proper he's better known as Visser Three. | |

'Allo 'Allo!: Parodied in an episode where suicide pills are slipped to René as he is imprisoned by Herr Flick. When he (and the Colonel and Captain) swallow the pills, they don't work. An episode near the show's finale (when the Nazis are becoming increasingly worried at the possibility of an Allied invasion) had General Von Klinkenhoffen provide Gruber and the Colonel with "suicide teeth", ridiculous-looking dentures that served the same function when bitten down hard. Those didn't work either. |

The Venture Bros.: In "Love-Bheits", it is revealed that Heroic Comedic Sociopath Brock Samson has a false tooth loaded with arsenic, which he offers to Dr. Venture when they are captured by Baron Underbheit. Hank and Dean think this is the coolest thing ever until they agree that a cherry Italian ice tooth would be even better. In "The Saphrax Protocol", after a Guild blackout team successfully infiltrates the Ven-Tech Tower and kidnaps Dr. Venture, only to be sent back in by Watch and Ward, Brock seals them inside the tower and kills them all off. One unlucky soldier gets cornered in a conference room and, after watching Brock shrug off a bullet to the heart (thanks to the steel plate in his chest), takes the easy way out, to Brock's annoyance. |

Katz jams his Hook Hand into another agent's mouth knowing he can't bite through metal, then uses his other hand to feel for the smooth enamel of a fake tooth and rip it out. Calvin James just solves the problem by slamming his fist into the jaw to cause it to fall open before the agent can bite. | |

Get Smart In one episode Maxwell Smart and KAOS Agent Seigfried compare their suicide contingencies. Smart has a raspberry-flavored cyanide pill. ("Care for a taste? It's all right, it's not addictive.") Seigfried says he has a "suicide ring". It works through his wife. ("She says if I ever take it off, she'll kill me.") In the 2008 movie, Max is reminded of the pill in his belt buckle, but in a subverted Chekhov's Gun, it never gets used. In "Is This Trip Necessary" a KAOS scientist threatens to commit suicide with his Poison Ring, leading to an Overly Long Gag where Max produces an antidote from his ring, then the scientist produces the anti-antidote, then Max produces the anti-anti-antidote! The scientist then surrenders, only to be accidentally shot dead by Max. |

7 Seeds: Every guide for the teams was given a cyanide pill before being put into cryo-stasis. They were given in case they awoke in a future where there was no hope of survival or flourishing aspects, a deadly disease broke out and it would cause a quicker and less painful death or in order to remove members of their teams that caused discord and enmity. During the Ryugu Shelter arc, cyanide pills are thought of being slipped into everyone's food and water supply after the parasitoid infection became severe. The director of the shelter was finally given one but begged everyone to please hold up a while longer. The last two remaining people, Saruwatari and Mark, have one to kill themselves after everyone else is Locked in a Freezer to hibernate the Acari X to try and stop any more infections. Saruwatari takes one after finishing his duty, whereas Mark tries to take one but must decide on another way. |

In the review of Batman & Robin, The Nostalgia Critic is removed from all his methods of suicide, but they forget his Cyanide Pill. It doesn't take long for him to try to consume it... and gets thwarted by the security guard. | |

Black Crab. Before going on the Suicide Mission their captain hands out a container of pills. "Blues are amphetamine, reds are morphine, the big ones are cyanide. Remember that." It's not stated why they need cyanide pills. | |

On Saturday Night Live hosted by Richard Pryor, Pryor plays a military officer being sent on a dangerous mission. He's being told what he'll be "taking" on the mission but misunderstands when the man briefing him says "Oh, and take that pill." Pryor swallows it and only then is told it's a suicide pill. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: The Complete Adventurer handbook, among a variety of alchemical items, introduces the "alchemical tooth" which can contain a dose of ingested or contact poison for spies wishing to not be captured alive. The Complete Scoundrel handbook upgrades it to the "toxic tooth", with a contact or inhaled poison that can affect a close-by opponent by spitting or breathing in its face. Unless the carrier is also immune to poisons, though, he'll be affected by the toxin too. The book Exemplars of Evil has the evil spell infallible servant, which ensures that a minion will not fall into enemy hands, by making them dissolve into a foul sludge if they're captured (or killed, making it very hard to resurrect them). The Keepers, an Outsider race described in the Fiend Folio, have this as a racial trait. If they are captured or pinned down for more than 10 rounds, they dissolve into a puddle of poison. |

An especially chilling film variant in the German film Downfall has Goebbels' wife drugging her six children to sleep and then crushing a cyanide pill between their teeth as they're asleep, killing them all: she knows that Adolf Hitler's reign is coming to an end, and believes that a world without the Nazis is not worth it for her children. The fact that the scene displays a historical fact arguably makes it all that much worse.note On the other side, Jewish families often did this during the war. Many parents poisoned their children and then themselves rather than allow them to be subjected to the horrors of the concentration camps. Arguably, the most famous example is that of famed cartoonist (of Maus fame) Art Speigleman's older brother Richieu, who died this way while in the care of an aunt. | |

Used twice in Telefon (1977), the first time by a Manchurian Agent (leading to much puzzlement among the CIA as to how a typical American housewife got hold of an obsolete Soviet suicide pill) and the second time by the KGB protagonist to kill a Renegade Russian (first he throttles him, them to make sure he places a pill between the man's teeth and slams his hand against the jaw to crush it). | |

In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Bite Down is a consumable item that kills you on the spot when used. While this sounds almost useless, one not-so-obvious advantage is that your Resurrection tokens don't get locked if you died via this method. It's a drug used by shinobis and is administered by crushing it on the back of your teeth. You can also a reusable version, which is a fake tooth filled with the drug. | |

Snake hides a pill on his person in the event that he's captured by the Russians in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. However, it's not a death pill, it's a potassium cyanide capsule that merely dulls his vital signs to appear dead. After the enemies inspect his body and leave, he can activate his Revive pill hidden in his tooth and come back to life, complete with the "Game Over" music playing backwards. Snake needs to activate his Revive pill fairly quickly, otherwise, he dies for real. The Revival pill is also key to solving a Puzzle Boss: During a particularly trippy boss "fight", Snake is inevitably killed... but his inventory is still accessible. | |

Knowing that the Germans will seek to break his will so as to use him for propaganda, he has an apothecary of his acquaintance create a fake toenail for his big toe, glued on with a poisonous substance. Holmes is confident that he can outwit the Germans, but if not all he has to do is peel off the fake toenail and lick the underside. | |

In Children of Men humanity has lost the ability to reproduce, causing widespread despair as people know they are going to die out. There's a drug being marketed called Quietus which is essentially a suicide pill (they're offered free to illegal immigrants, who are horribly persecuted in the film). Parallels to antidepressants are not entirely subtle. Then again, it does lead to a tearjerker moment as Michael Caine euthanizes his vegetative wife when he knows that he will be performing a Heroic Sacrifice to cover the escape of the protagonists. | |

In Drowtales, this takes the form of the demons, called "seeds" that can be implanted into fae creatures, intentionally or by force. A demon-tainted drow that needs a quick method to die and possibly take others with them can intentionally release their seed, killing themselves, well giving the demon free range of their body, transforming them into mindless killing machines. Syphile was told to do this if she failed to kill Quain'tana, but she was unable to follow through and died at the hands of her target. | |

Naturally, Blackadder cons his enemies into accidentally taking them rather than using them himself. Except for the fact that he learns immediately afterwards that they were undercover and really on his side. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", a member of the Black Scorpion Tong, after being captured by the police, commits suicide with a scorpion venom pill to avoid revealing anything under interrogation. Weng-Chiang forces another Tong member to commit suicide after he makes a mistake, laughing maniacally as the man dies in agony. In "The Caves of Androzani", mercenary gunrunner Stotz is confronted by one of his men demanding payment. Stotz forces him to the ground at knifepoint and takes out a pill. In "Time Heist", the Doctor assumes the syringes they find are "atom shredders" meant to painlessly kill anyone caught by the Teller. He calls them an "escape route... of a sort." In fact, they're a more conventional escape route: they teleport the user to a spaceship in orbit. By claiming they were this trope, their true nature escaped the mind-reading Teller. |

The title character of the Firebird Trilogy was sent to war under orders to kill herself in the line of duty (members of the royal family more than four places from the throne traditionally suicide so as to prevent succession disputes. With the recent birth of her niece, she was now fifth in line for the throne). After failing to get shot down, and failing to kamikaze into a mountain, she takes poison as she is tractored into an enemy warship so that she cannot be interrogated. Her captors realize that she'd taken poison almost immediately and manage to keep her alive. | |

Parodied in one episode of South Park. Cartman came up with a plan to rig the election, and once the other kids find out Butters is involved, he takes a peanut M&M (allergies). He starts foaming at the mouth and appears to die, but merely ends up in the hospital with a swollen face. | |

A variant in the Lensman series: for a time, Boskonian agents were equipped with a false tooth filled with a drug that would wipe their memories, for use in the event of their capture. This was superseded by "mental operations" that made them believe that the orders they followed were their own idea, without any memory of the higher-ups who gave them those orders. | |

Family Guy: Parodied as Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun do a No, You Hang Up First routine (only instead of hanging up a phone, it's taking a Cyanide Pill.) In "Lois Comes Out of a Shell", Stewie's evil turtle Sheldon is screwing up everyone's lives. One of his plans was to switch out Meg's cyanide pill with an Alka-Seltzer tablet. In "Mr. & Mrs. Stewie", Penelope gives a kid a piece of taffy that superglues his throat shut and kills him when he picks on Stewie. |

The Mountain and the Wolf: Qyburn is abducted and spared by the Wolf on the condition that he revive a corpse for him. When Qyburn is next seen, he straight-up tells the Wolf it can't be done, and prepares to bite down on a pill to deny him the pleasure of torturing Qyburn to death. To Qyburn's shock, the Wolf isn't surprised at all (as he has a very low opinion of Westeros' magic) and tells him that he'll get some help later. Skaven help, as it turns out. | |

In the Kingdom of Loathing Crimbo 2009 event, members of the Elvish Resistance dropped suicide pills made of sugar. A small pill containing enough sugar to kill one of Santa's elves. Even the narrator is astonished. It's still just sugar though, so it doesn't cause any harm when you use it. In fact, it actually buffs a random stat, though the effect descriptions note that the sheer amount of sugar from the capsule is still causing some weird effects. | |

Babylon 5: The captain of a renegade Minbari warship, which broke from its government when they called for surrender at the Battle of the Line, turns himself in to B5 authorities, then takes a poison pill hidden in a tooth. His crew had planned to use his death, ostensibly at Human hands, to provoke a war. When another, loyal Minbari warship arrives and disables the rogue vessel (without killing, as Minbari do not kill other Minbari), the crew of the renegade activates a self-destruct. Psi Corps operatives do this too, with a nice little rant about "the future". |

At the start of the Danish film Flame & Citron (2008), Flame is shown putting two pistols and a cyanide pill in his pockets, before going on an assassination mission for La Résistance. At the end of the movie he's cornered in a safe house by German troops, so takes the pill to avoid capture and torture by the Gestapo. Citron, on the other hand, chooses to go out shooting. | |

Played with in Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid, when S�suke is shown to be surrounded by large forces from the enemy on both sides and no ammo left, with no escape possible. AL suggests that the rational conclusion and solution is for him to activate the self-destruct system. The idea is rejected, as S�suke has no intention of dying that way (as he "wouldn't be able to get his school credits" that way). | |

In The Wrong Reflection the mirror universe version of Kanril Eleya carries a poison capsule in a back molar in case of capture by Terran forces. Dr. Warragul Wirrpanda, the USS Bajor's chief medical officer, convinces her to let him remove it (using a jumja stick as a bribe) and identifies the contents as promazine, a poison issued by the Obsidian Order to their operatives in the prime universe. He also puts the lie to the Obsidian Order's canonical claim that it kills painlessly, saying that "it feels like your whole head is on fire until you cark it." | |
