Cyanide Pills

A Cyanide Pill is a little capsule containing the poisonous substance cyanide designed to quickly end one's own life.
==History==
===World War II===
During World War II, cyanide pills were common between spies. As such, after killing Abraham Erskine, HYDRA agent Heinz Kruger tried to flee using the Fieser Dorsch. Steve Rogers pursued him and successfully avoided Kruger's escape, but before he could be questioned, Kruger swallowed a cyanide pill concealed inside a fake tooth, dying shortly after menacing Rogers about being the first of many HYDRA operatives.
Chester Phillips noted in his interrogation of Arnim Zola that Zola was the only HYDRA agent that the Strategic Scientific Reserve captured alive because he didn't take a cyanide pill.
===Capture of Richard Lumley===
Phil Coulson and Melinda May were trying to track down Richard Lumley in Mexico, and interrogate him about Linda Avery. Lumley tried to consume one of these pills concealed in his watch before he was captured, fearing Coulson and May wanted to torture him, as he was shown to be very relieved when they identified themselves as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 1.12: Seeds
===Capture of Sunil Bakshi===
When S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Bobbi Morse attempted to interrogate HYDRA operative Sunil Bakshi about his superior officer, Daniel Whitehall, Bakshi, demonstrating his loyalty to HYDRA, attempted to commit suicide with a cyanide pill embedded in his cheekbone. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to stop his suicide attempt.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.08: The Things We Bury
===Destruction of HYDRA===
General Fischer of the United States Air Force, who was a secret HYDRA agent, was arrested by Glenn Talbot. Preferring to die than being in custody and interrogated, Fischer took a cyanide pill, resulting in Talbot's men rushing Fischer towards medical attention.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 5.15: Rise and Shine
