What the heck? Let's see what happened. 531 00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:08,500 Alright. 532 00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:14,500 So they round up the usual suspects and Sheriff Savage gives them the third degree. 533 00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:17,500 Okay, which one of you guys was tagged by the dog? 534 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:23,500 Now, here's the million dollar question. Which one of you is the owner of this shirt? 535 00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:25,500 Hey, we got a positive! 536 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:26,500 Wow. 537 00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:30,500 That's a positive ID right there. 538 00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:33,500 None of us knew whose shirt that was. 539 00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:35,500 Good dog! 540 00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:40,500 I'm just flabbergasted at what we just saw. 541 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:44,500 Here we are in the middle of a field with a breeze going across it. 542 00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:53,500 I just saw a dog come up to a scent article and barely pause in front of it and then take off making a beeline for our suspect. 543 00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:55,500 Oh, that's a good boy! 544 00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:57,500 I don't get it. 545 00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:59,500 So the lineup, what do you think? 546 00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:05,500 Well, I think it's plausible the dog can often pick out its suspect, but it's far from 100%. 547 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:06,500 Agreed. 548 00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:10,500 We came close, but still can't call it busted. 549 00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:14,500 There's just one test to go and it's all down to Jamie. 550 00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:18,500 You know, it's funny about this. You make a natural escape convict. 551 00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:19,500 Boy, thanks! 552 00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:21,500 You're welcome. 553 00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:23,500 Get him! 554 00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:31,500 Straight ahead, where all else has failed, we'll love proof to be the ultimate distraction. 555 00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:33,500 What a dog! 556 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:51,500 Having just failed to distract a substance sniffing dog with repulsion, the guys have now gone for extreme attraction. 557 00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:59,500 So now it's time for us to deploy our female dog in heat distraction, but that's not going to work on Gypsy because she's a female. 558 00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:03,500 So we're going to swap her out and bring in Max, who is a fine male specimen. 559 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:07,500 And Gina is the fine female specimen. 560 00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:14,500 We'll plant the stash on a volunteer who'll stand a few feet away from our doggy, Femme Fatou. 561 00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:18,500 So dogs have an organ called the vomeronasal organ, or the Jacobson's organ. 562 00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:25,500 And it sits back behind the opening of the nasal passages in the mouth and it processes data, a lot of data. 563 00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:27,500 It collects really big molecules. 564 00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,500 These big molecules, they could be pheromones most of the time. 565 00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:35,500 So for a female that's in heat, she's going to be putting out a lot of pheromones and a lot of chemical signals. 566 00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:40,500 So this dog that's coming through, he might get his brain scrambled, so to speak. 567 00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:47,500 E.J. and Max begin casing the cues, and for a while, it's business as usual. 568 00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:52,500 Then they close in on the source of this canine catnip. 569 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,500 Look at that, it's salivating. It's working. 570 00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:57,500 He's totally distracted. 571 00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:58,500 Come on, back to work. 572 00:32:58,500 --> 00:32:59,500 He can't focus. 573 00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,500 Yeah, he keeps looking back there. 574 00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:02,500 What a dog. 575 00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:13,500 He does look distracted, and this is the point where the handler does his bit, enforcing the proper procedure. 576 00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:16,500 In real searches, in real world, we take the dog out first. 577 00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:18,500 Even if they're in heat or not in heat. 578 00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:19,500 In heat or not in heat. 579 00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:20,500 All right. 580 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:21,500 They gotta be in heat. 581 00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:27,500 So in heat or not, other dogs are always removed from the scene, and that's exactly what they do with Gina. 582 00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:28,500 But good job. 583 00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:29,500 All right, thank you. 584 00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:30,500 All right, see you guys. 585 00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:36,500 But has that brain-scrambling waft of female pheromones already done irreparable damage? 586 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,500 To find out, Max has put straight back to work. 587 00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:47,500 And incredibly, proves that he still has his mind and his nose on the job. 588 00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:57,500 So to really disrupt the detection, seems we might have to target the man, not the dog. 589 00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,500 Okay, so we've seen these dogs just can't be beaten. 590 00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,500 But what about the handlers? 591 00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:07,500 So what if we took something that the dog was attracted to, some kind of food treat, and we put that next to the contraband? 592 00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:11,500 Then when the handler opens the bag, he thinks the dog's going for the food and moves on. 593 00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:13,500 In other words, get the handler a false positive. 594 00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:14,500 Exactly. 595 00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:16,500 Oh, I got another idea. 596 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:24,500 What if we hide the contraband and something really gross, so gross that the handler will just sort of look at it and says, 597 00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:26,500 maybe I'll move on to the next thing. 598 00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:27,500 Like what? 599 00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:31,500 Well, I have access to some really good dirty diapers. 600 00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:32,500 Perfect. 601 00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:39,500 From baby's bottoms to false bottoms, Tori ups the stakes by customizing the luggage. 602 00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:42,500 All right, so I'm making these hidden compartments in these bags and they're perfect. 603 00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:51,500 I've drilled out the pop rivet that holds these cleats on the bottom of the bags, but that also holds in this bottom piece of the bag. 604 00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:56,500 And what I found is a little area that I can just slip my contraband in. 605 00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:02,500 I stick this back in the bag and I attach my feet back to the bag. 606 00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,500 It holds this bottom down. 607 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:09,500 The handler looks in here and it looks like nothing has been done to this bag. 608 00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:11,500 We're going to fool these guys. 609 00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:13,500 I can feel it. 610 00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:17,500 We are here at one of the largest luggage shops in the Bay Area. 611 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,500 There's over a thousand pieces of luggage in here. 612 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,500 The team we'll be testing is Ken and Buck. 613 00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:26,500 All they know is this won't be a walk in the park. 614 00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:29,500 Back inside, there's some bags that need packing. 615 00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:36,500 Now, we've packed tons of bags with clothing, but we've also added a few diversionary strong scents 616 00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,500 that a traveler might bring home from a vacation. 617 00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:43,500 Like, it goes to France and he comes with, like, pâté and super stinky cheese. 618 00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:48,500 We're hoping that when the dog is attracted to these smells, the handler is going to misread his signs 619 00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:52,500 and think that it's not the contraband, but the stinky cheese that's attracting them. 620 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:58,500 So a whole bunch of bags are stuffed with fabric and food, 621 00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:03,500 but only one has the contraband hidden inside a false bottom. 622 00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:07,500 And remember, they're testing the man as much as the dog. 623 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:10,500 All right, Kenny, we are all ready for our next test. 624 00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:11,500 Go to it. 625 00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:15,500 The first hoop to jump through is finding the scent Buck's been trained to detect, 626 00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:18,500 disguised by our Piquant picnic. 627 00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:25,500 Assuming he does, and yep, there you have it. 628 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,500 I'm his bag. 629 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:30,500 I sell my bag. 630 00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,500 It's that guy. 631 00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:36,500 We'll can leave the lunch and continue the search. 632 00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,500 I don't think we can fool the dog, but maybe the handler. 633 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:45,500 With dogged resolve, he digs right to the bottom, and then some. 634 00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:48,500 We found the contraband. 635 00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,500 He found it in the false bottom. 636 00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:52,500 I thought the meat was going to be a good distraction. 637 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:58,500 It seems nothing gets by our detecting doer, 638 00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:03,500 but the last test of all could taint the sweet smell of success. 639 00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:09,500 Thanks to Kerry's new child, we've scored a whole mess of used baby clothing. 640 00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:14,500 Now this particular bag of poopy diaper has been ripening and rotting for about a week now, 641 00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:17,500 and I can actually smell it through the bag. 642 00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:22,500 So if we can just hide the contraband inside one of these poopy diapers, 643 00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:25,500 I don't think he's going to go for it. 644 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:33,500 It's a cruel trick to play on a boy and his dog, but let's face it, we're not here to make friends. 645 00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:34,500 Look at him. 646 00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:36,500 He's all over the place. 647 00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:38,500 I think he might be onto this. 648 00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:40,500 I think he detects something. 649 00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,500 It takes a bit longer than last time. 650 00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:46,500 Good thing he's not a poop detecting dog. 651 00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:48,500 I think they all are actually. 652 00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,500 But finally, Buck closes in on the muck. 653 00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:53,500 Oh, he's down. 654 00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:55,500 He said he found it. 655 00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:57,500 Now for the sticky part. 656 00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,500 Sorry, I want to see this. 657 00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:05,500 Well, can assume Buck has been fooled, and if not, how far will he go? 658 00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:11,500 There's a stench of defeat in the air as Kenny digs in and digs deep. 659 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,500 I'm a prank man, Kenny. 660 00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,500 I wouldn't do that. 661 00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:17,500 Dirty diapers, that is commitment to your job. 662 00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:18,500 Really? 663 00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:19,500 Right. 664 00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:25,500 And that just goes to show not only can you not fool the dog, you also can't fool the handler. 665 00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,500 Good luck at the evidence locker. 666 00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:33,500 With that parting cheap shot, Kent explains just why he and his mate were destined to make 667 00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:35,500 every lamp post a winner. 668 00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:39,500 People try to trick us every day, but as handlers we train equally as hard as our dogs. 669 00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,500 So I know how to read him and he knows how to read me. 670 00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:47,500 Nothing we threw at these dogs ever distracted them. 671 00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:50,500 I mean, they were able to find the contraband every single time. 672 00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:51,500 Yeah. 673 00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:55,500 Overpowering smells, other distractions fooling the handler, all fail. 674 00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:57,500 So I think we're busted on all fronts. 675 00:38:57,500 --> 00:38:58,500 Sniffer dogs have won. 676 00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:59,500 Totally busted. 677 00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:00,500 Busted. 678 00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:13,500 Over the course of two episodes, Jamie and I have tried everything we have ever heard 679 00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,500 of to evade the bloodhound. 680 00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,500 Tree climbing, backtracking, zigzagging, river crossing. 681 00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:20,500 Remember this, the no-sense suit? 682 00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:25,500 Now, this failed to fool Morgan's olfactory senses, but we still feel like there's a concept 683 00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:31,500 here that we can utilize and that's why we designed this, the Mythbusters Advanced Body 684 00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:32,500 Odour Removal Zone. 685 00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:37,500 The scent removal process begins here in this very tent. 686 00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:42,500 Inside, once sealed away, Convict Heinemann will rinse himself, then he will wash himself, 687 00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:47,500 then he will wipe himself down with wipes specifically designed for hunters to remove 688 00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:48,500 their body odor. 689 00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:52,500 He will then don the first layer of protection he will wear and exit the tent. 690 00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:59,500 So the crim once again turns clean skin, but this time around, that's just phase one. 691 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,500 Ready for phase two. 692 00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:05,500 It's a procedure so thorough, he'll actually need help from three expert assistants. 693 00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:11,500 Where they will implement a 15-step process that will not only install upon Jamie, a 694 00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:16,500 specially modified gas mask that filters his output, not his input, but two more layers 695 00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:19,500 of sealed suits and that's not all. 696 00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,500 Remember when I said Jamie rinsed himself off? 697 00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:27,500 Well, he did it in this black pool right here, which is now full of a concoction I like to 698 00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:29,500 call Essence of the Heinemann. 699 00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:35,500 It is this concoction we will fill this backpack sprayer with. 700 00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:42,500 That's right, Jamie will be wearing a backpack sprayer with which to lay down a fake scent 701 00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:43,500 trail. 702 00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:49,500 So he's released back into the wild spraying a decoy scent of his own bathwater. 703 00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,500 I'm making sure that I stay up wind as much as possible. 704 00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:57,500 I'm keeping the nozzle of the sprayer pointed away from me and down in the weeds so none 705 00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:00,500 of the water gets on me. 706 00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:05,500 Many figures he's froliced enough, he dumps loads of the scent in a circle, then tosses 707 00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:10,500 the backpack and hightails it for the tall timber. 708 00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:13,500 Our opponent, Crafty Wallers. 709 00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,500 Our weapon of choice, man's best friend. 710 00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:17,500 Let's go. 711 00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:18,500 You ready, buddy? 712 00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,500 Oh, he's ready. 713 00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,500 Get him. 714 00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:27,500 So, first, Morgan seems to have a really good feel for the trail, which is pretty much what 715 00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:28,500 we expected. 716 00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,500 And eventually we arrive at the spray pack Jamie has dumped in the grass. 717 00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:38,500 Morgan sniffs around and honestly this is where I get the full thrill of the chase thing 718 00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:43,500 because he barely pauses for bolting in a really specific direction. 719 00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:47,500 I have no idea which way Jamie went, but it sure seems like the dog does. 720 00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:52,500 So it's down to the final tense moments of hound versus Heinemann. 721 00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,500 I'm laying down under a tree in a deep hollow. 722 00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:59,500 I can't see anything, but I can hear the dog barking and he's getting closer. 723 00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:01,500 It was really fun actually. 724 00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:03,500 It's kind of like playing hide and seek. 725 00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:09,500 It might be some faint trace of Jamie's breath or a few micro drops of water that attach to 726 00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:10,500 his suit. 727 00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:16,500 All we know is that Morgan's picked up on something and Jamie's 10 minutes of freedom 728 00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:18,500 have come to an end. 729 00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:20,500 Ah, sucka boy! 730 00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:22,500 Good boy! 731 00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,500 Ah, sucka boy, come here! 732 00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:33,500 I can't imagine that we could go any farther than we went to eliminate all traces of human 733 00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:39,500 scent from Jamie and still Morgan just made a B-line right for him. 734 00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,500 Come on, good boy! 735 00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,500 Haha, it's a good dog. 736 00:42:43,500 --> 00:42:44,500 Good boy. 737 00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:46,500 So how are we going to wrap this up? 738 00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:47,500 Well, let's see. 739 00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:51,500 You tried spreading red herring, you tried crossing a larger body of water, and you tried 740 00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:52,500 a commercial no-scent suit. 741 00:42:52,500 --> 00:42:54,500 Dog found me every time. 742 00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:56,500 Yep, none of them worked. 743 00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:59,500 But picking one of your accomplices out of a lineup? 744 00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:02,500 Well, it's not 100%, but it's certainly plausible. 745 00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:06,500 And finally, the Mythbusters super sneaky no-scent no-body odor suit. 746 00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:08,500 Well, the dog still found me. 747 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,500 And from all this we can conclude? 748 00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,500 You still can't beat the bloodhound.
