Samples? Purify poison? It clicked. What happened to him somehow happened to Monkey King. Meaning, Monkey King went down to the casino? To the lab? And Red Son knew? Went too? Knew something happened and it was recent. Had to be. Monkey King didn't want Red Son's help because it was secondhand pity? So he wouldn't give Red Son the chance to help because of it. The threat felt real. He looked back at house, at the decaying planks, at Red Son and back to Wukong.

"Can we stop being vague and can you two tell us what happened? You guys went to the lab place, right? Where I took the pill? So what happened and what is this about secondhand pity? This is serious. We need to know so we can help. Please."
