He was hallucinating. Because he was poisoned. 59 00:03:50,471 --> 00:03:51,990 Um, and you're sure about that how? 60 00:03:52,128 --> 00:03:53,233 The vomit. 61 00:03:53,957 --> 00:03:55,580 What vomit would that be? 62 00:03:57,098 --> 00:03:58,893 - Ugh. - Okay, 63 00:03:59,031 --> 00:04:02,000 so none of you have ever had a baby puke directly into your mouth.

That smells like rotten eggs. 70 00:04:18,603 --> 00:04:20,777 Yeah, that's because it's activated charcoal. 71 00:04:20,915 --> 00:04:23,193 And when charcoal interacts with gut bacteria, 72 00:04:23,332 --> 00:04:25,886 it releases hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. 73 00:04:26,024 --> 00:04:28,716 And the only reason to take that much activated charcoal 74 00:04:28,854 --> 00:04:30,546 is if you've ingested something toxic. 75 00:04:30,684 --> 00:04:32,651 Which would explain why he was hallucinating. 76 00:04:32,789 --> 00:04:35,309 So either he swallowed something accidentally or maybe he was poisoned. 77 00:04:35,447 --> 00:04:37,207 Next question is where did he come from? 78 00:04:37,794 --> 00:04:40,280 Well, the victim's feet were cut up. 79 00:04:40,832 --> 00:04:42,627 - Looks like he left a trail. - Right. 80 00:04:42,765 --> 00:04:44,836 Morgan and I will follow the blood.

Actually, I figured a couple of things out. 367 00:19:04,488 --> 00:19:09,251 Do you know that 12.6 million people play Battle Dynasty every single day? 368 00:19:09,389 --> 00:19:12,530 Sadly, one of those people is my son, but because of that, 369 00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:17,811 I learned that the game's chat translator isn't always that reliable. 370 00:19:19,848 --> 00:19:21,401 Still not clear on what that is. 371 00:19:21,539 --> 00:19:23,817 Teppo is a Japanese word that has two different meanings. 372 00:19:23,955 --> 00:19:25,681 - I'm guessing one of them is "gun." - Mm-hmm. 373 00:19:25,819 --> 00:19:32,136 That's right. But teppo can also translate to "puffer fish." 374 00:19:32,274 --> 00:19:34,552 Okay. How is "gun" the same word as "puffer fish"? 375 00:19:34,690 --> 00:19:37,348 That's a great question. It actually is a nickname for puffer fish. 376 00:19:37,486 --> 00:19:38,763 Teppo ni ataru. 377 00:19:38,901 --> 00:19:41,559 It means "poison cannon."

I told them what to test for. 383 00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:57,334 And sure enough, Declan Harker was poisoned with puffer fish toxin. 384 00:19:57,472 --> 00:19:59,198 And it says here it's more potent than cyanide. 385 00:19:59,336 --> 00:20:03,443 One drop causes hallucination, vomiting, paralysis, death. 386 00:20:03,581 --> 00:20:05,134 Declan was a goner even without that car. 387 00:20:05,273 --> 00:20:06,895 Can't believe people pay to eat that. 388 00:20:07,033 --> 00:20:08,724 I have.

Only then can you learn to remove it. 394 00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,256 After that, you face the test. 395 00:20:23,946 --> 00:20:27,087 A live performance of your skills before an expert. 396 00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,918 The cuts have to be precise, the plating impeccable. 397 00:20:30,056 --> 00:20:31,920 If even a speck of blood remains, 398 00:20:32,058 --> 00:20:34,785 you fail, and you have to start all over again. 399 00:20:36,269 --> 00:20:40,377 Until you finally get it just right, and you pass the test. 400 00:20:41,205 --> 00:20:42,482 If the certification is that hard, 401 00:20:42,620 --> 00:20:44,553 must only be a handful of chefs in town who serve it. 402 00:20:45,554 --> 00:20:47,453 Are you inviting me out to sushi? 403 00:21:00,707 --> 00:21:01,708 Excuse me. 404 00:21:02,295 --> 00:21:03,641 Do you have questions? 405 00:21:03,779 --> 00:21:06,161 Yes, uh, we're looking for something pretty rare. 406 00:21:06,299 --> 00:21:07,956 For a special occasion? 407 00:21:08,094 --> 00:21:10,786 Yes.
