He was hallucinating. Because he was poisoned. 59 00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:51,966 Um, and you're sure about that how? 60 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:53,201 The vomit. 61 00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:55,570 What vomit would that be? 62 00:03:57,038 --> 00:03:58,806 - Ugh. - Okay, 63 00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:01,976 so none of you have ever had a baby puke directly into your mouth.

That smells like rotten eggs. 70 00:04:18,559 --> 00:04:20,728 Yeah, that's because it's activated charcoal. 71 00:04:20,862 --> 00:04:23,131 And when charcoal interacts with gut bacteria, 72 00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,833 it releases hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. 73 00:04:25,967 --> 00:04:28,669 And the only reason to take that much activated charcoal 74 00:04:28,803 --> 00:04:30,505 is if you've ingested something toxic. 75 00:04:30,638 --> 00:04:32,573 Which would explain why he was hallucinating. 76 00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:35,275 So either he swallowed something accidentally or maybe he was poisoned. 77 00:04:35,408 --> 00:04:37,178 Next question is where did he come from? 78 00:04:37,745 --> 00:04:40,248 Well, the victim's feet were cut up. 79 00:04:40,782 --> 00:04:42,550 -Looks like he left a trail. -Right. 80 00:04:42,683 --> 00:04:44,819 Morgan and I will follow the blood.

But teppo can also translate to "puffer fish." 374 00:19:32,205 --> 00:19:34,474 Okay. How is "gun" the same word as "puffer fish"? 375 00:19:34,609 --> 00:19:37,310 That's a great question.

I told them what to test for. 383 00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:57,297 And sure enough, Declan Harker was poisoned with puffer fish toxin. 384 00:19:57,431 --> 00:19:59,133 And it says here it's more potent than cyanide. 385 00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:03,403 One drop causes hallucination, vomiting, paralysis, death. 386 00:20:03,538 --> 00:20:05,106 Declan was a goner even without that car. 387 00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:06,874 Can't believe people pay to eat that. 388 00:20:07,008 --> 00:20:08,676 I have.
