He was hallucinating. Because he was poisoned. 58 00:03:50,490 --> 00:03:52,075 Um, and you're sure about that how? 59 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:53,201 The vomit. 60 00:03:53,952 --> 00:03:55,579 What vomit would that be? 61 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,248 - Ugh. - Okay, 62 00:03:58,331 --> 00:04:02,085 so none of you have ever had a baby puke directly into your mouth.

That smells like rotten eggs. 68 00:04:18,602 --> 00:04:20,812 Yeah, that's because it's activated charcoal. 69 00:04:20,896 --> 00:04:23,231 And when charcoal interacts with gut bacteria, 70 00:04:23,315 --> 00:04:25,942 it releases hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. 71 00:04:26,026 --> 00:04:28,779 And the only reason to take that much activated charcoal 72 00:04:28,862 --> 00:04:30,614 is if you've ingested something toxic. 73 00:04:30,697 --> 00:04:32,657 Which would explain why he was hallucinating. 74 00:04:32,741 --> 00:04:35,368 So either he swallowed something accidentally or maybe he was poisoned. 75 00:04:35,452 --> 00:04:37,204 Next question is where did he come from? 76 00:04:37,788 --> 00:04:40,248 Well, the victim's feet were cut up. 77 00:04:40,832 --> 00:04:42,501 - Looks like he left a trail. - Right. 78 00:04:42,584 --> 00:04:44,878 Morgan and I will follow the blood.

Actually, I figured a couple of things out. 365 00:19:04,445 --> 00:19:09,283 Do you know that 12.6 million people play Battle Dynasty every single day? 366 00:19:09,367 --> 00:19:12,536 Sadly, one of those people is my son, but because of that, 367 00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:17,792 I learned that the game's chat translator isn't always that reliable. 368 00:19:19,835 --> 00:19:20,961 Still not clear on what that is. 369 00:19:21,045 --> 00:19:23,839 Teppo is a Japanese word that has two different meanings. 370 00:19:23,923 --> 00:19:25,675 - I'm guessing one of them is "gun." - Mm-hmm. 371 00:19:25,758 --> 00:19:32,181 That's right. But teppo can also translate to "puffer fish." 372 00:19:32,264 --> 00:19:34,558 Okay. How is "gun" the same word as "puffer fish"? 373 00:19:34,642 --> 00:19:37,395 That's a great question. It actually is a nickname for puffer fish. 374 00:19:37,478 --> 00:19:38,771 Teppo ni ataru. 375 00:19:38,854 --> 00:19:41,607 It means "poison cannon." And how adorable is that? 376 00:19:41,691 --> 00:19:43,025 We should be calling them that from now on. 377 00:19:43,109 --> 00:19:45,736 So, when the guy threatened Declan in the chat, he wasn't saying "gun." 378 00:19:45,820 --> 00:19:48,322 - He was saying "puffer fish toxin." - That's right. 379 00:19:48,406 --> 00:19:50,825 Which is why the lab had so much trouble identifying it. 380 00:19:50,908 --> 00:19:53,202 I just came from the lab. I told them what to test for. 381 00:19:53,285 --> 00:19:57,373 And sure enough, Declan Harker was poisoned with puffer fish toxin. 382 00:19:57,456 --> 00:19:59,208 And it says here it's more potent than cyanide. 383 00:19:59,291 --> 00:20:03,504 One drop causes hallucination, vomiting, paralysis, death. 384 00:20:03,587 --> 00:20:05,214 Declan was a goner even without that car. 385 00:20:05,297 --> 00:20:06,966 Can't believe people pay to eat that. 386 00:20:07,049 --> 00:20:08,759 I have.

Only then can you learn to remove it. 392 00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:23,232 After that, you face the test. 393 00:20:23,941 --> 00:20:27,111 A live performance of your skills before an expert. 394 00:20:27,194 --> 00:20:29,947 The cuts have to be precise, the plating impeccable. 395 00:20:30,030 --> 00:20:31,949 If even a speck of blood remains, 396 00:20:32,032 --> 00:20:34,785 you fail, and you have to start all over again. 397 00:20:36,245 --> 00:20:40,332 Until you finally get it just right, and you pass the test. 398 00:20:41,167 --> 00:20:42,501 If the certification is that hard, 399 00:20:42,585 --> 00:20:44,545 must only be a handful of chefs in town who serve it. 400 00:20:45,546 --> 00:20:47,465 Are you inviting me out to sushi? 401 00:21:00,686 --> 00:21:01,687 Excuse me. 402 00:21:02,313 --> 00:21:03,397 Do you have questions? 403 00:21:03,481 --> 00:21:06,233 Yes, uh, we're looking for something pretty rare. 404 00:21:06,317 --> 00:21:07,985 For a special occasion? 405 00:21:08,068 --> 00:21:10,780 Yes.
