Наемный убийца Чев узнает, что недоброжелатели отравили его редким китайским ядом и отрава начнет действовать немедленно, как только пульс перестанет биться ниже определенной отметки.

In 1916 Shanghai, Mei Li marries into the Tian family to protect her brother, managing their pharmacy. After tragic losses, she opens her own drug store while facing opposition to her desires and a catastrophic police raid.
Victorian Pharmacy is a historical documentary TV series in four parts, first shown on BBC Two in July 2010. It was made for the BBC by independent production company Lion Television. It was filmed at Blists Hill Victorian Town in Shropshire. It is a historical documentary that looks at life in the 19th Century and how people attempted to cure common ailments. Since some of the ingredients of Victorian remedies are now either illegal or known to be dangerous, Nick Barber often uses his modern pharmaceutical knowledge to produce similar products without those ingredients. The other main presenters are Tom Quick, a PhD student, and Ruth Goodman, a domestic historian who also appeared in Tales from the Green Valley, Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm.
