- Mommy! - Yes?

Is the baby a boy or a girl?

Well, I don't know yet,

but you have to give lots of love, okay?

Yes, I know.

Why did you buy so much?

They said this sterilizes the humidifier.

The world has gotten so much better, hasn't it?

People are so smart.

How did they come up with this?

Daddy, I'm hungry.

Are you hungry?

I'll make your favorite kimchi fried rice.

Let's go.

(Doctor Detective)

(Episode 13)

You're here for an epidemiological survey?

We just met up with the higher-ups.

- They said you will cooperate... - That...

is up to the new director.

Hello. I am the director of TL Medical Center,

Choi Min.

I look forward to working with you, Ms. Gong.

We look forward to it, too.

Let me tell you in advance.

We're going to go all the way.

Of course, you will.

Did you see the patients?

The situation is serious.

If this is due to an environmental factor,

we have to hurry up and find the cause,

so that there won't be any more victims.

I'll review the medical records we obtained.

Please give me some help, Mr. Huh.

Ms. Byun and Mr. Ha,

check the list of the environmental factors and...

- survey the patients' guardians. - Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Suk, you stand by at the lab.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey.

About the new director. What is she like?

You said she took good care of Seo Rin.

I'm don't know what she's like anymore.

Why?

She might have agreed on the epidemiological survey,

but she'll be scheming something else in her mind.

But she used to be a doctor.

I'm sure she won't be too bad.

No, she won't.

He threatened me.

"You'll have to return to Mujinpo"?

- Goodness. - Don't mind him too much.

He must think he's unstoppable...

now that he's the vice chairman of TL.

There have been several deaths due to an unidentified epidemic?

Yes. Two patients have expired last night.

They are 1 child and 1 adult.

Do you think it was because of a virus?

That's the problem.

I thought it was the Mongolian virus,

but they all progressed so differently.

I'm wondering if it's due to an environmental factor.

I should just focus on my dissertation.

That's why I wanted to ask you this.

Can't you stop the UDC from carrying out...

the epidemiological investigation?

The patients wouldn't risk their lives...

to do something meaningful.

They'd never be able to reject the suggestions from doctors...

when their child's life is in their hands.

(TL Seoul Medical Center)

Doctor, will my child be all right?

We think the cause is a virus.

Other doctors said there could be some other reasons.

This is TL Medical Center.

Don't you trust our staff?

Then why are you here?

Ma'am, why don't you hold off the survey...

until when your baby gets better...

- and gets discharged. Okay? - Okay.

Hello, we're from the UDC. We want to...

Hello, we're from the UDC. We want to do a survey...

- No thank you. - But the victim...

Leave here.

- We just need you to... - Please leave.

We need to treat her first.

(Intensive Care Unit, Restricted Area)

This is a survey of the virus. We're from the UDC.

Doctor.

- This is a survey of the virus. - I'm not interested.

- We're from the UDC. - I'm not doing it!

Go away!

Hello, ma'am.

What's the matter?

Didn't you get the survey done?

I just don't get it.

The guardians won't agree to do it.

We need to figure out the environmental factors...

in order to begin the investigation.

I'm sure the doctor is behind this.

Or it could be someone higher.

Tae Young. Come on in.

Have a seat.

It's been so long since the three of us sat down for some tea.

That's why I call you.

Here.

Should I just quietly finish this and leave,

or say what's on my mind, Father?

Just drink first. It won't be good when it's cold.

I resigned, so I can focus on one thing.

Don't you think it's a shame? It's your third year.

You'll be a qualified doctor in a year.

I've come far enough.

By the way...

What are your plans?

My plans?

I don't know.

I guess I'll have to have you as the director...

of the medical center and assist Father...

in order to create a new start for TL.

Sounds good.

You'll have to support me well.

- Take another cup. - No thank you.

The tea is bitter.

I have to go now.

And...

you let the UDC start the epidemiological survey,

but I'll be the one to end it.

Don't involve yourself in the hospital business anymore.

It's not within your authority.

I guess we won't be getting along, Father.

Goodbye, Min.

Wish you good luck.

I need to ask for a favor.

(TL Seoul Medical Center)

(Joong Eun)

(TL Seoul Medical Center, Director, Choi Min)

Ma'am, someone from the UDC...

I'm here because of the epidemiological survey.

Why didn't you pick up?

(TL Seoul Medical Center, Director, Choi Min)

I know you agreed to cooperate reluctantly...

because the number of patients increased.

Still, you're a doctor.

This is wrong.

You sound firmly convinced that I'm the one behind it.

Because I've suffered far worse than this.

Professor Hong from Pediatrics will come soon.

You can ask him yourself.

Ms. Doh.

Why are you involving personal feelings into business?

With that kind of attitude, we won't be able to work together.

Just promise me.

That you won't get in the way.

You're contacting me often lately.

I'll cut to the chase.

In order to carry out the epidemiological survey,

we need the cooperation from the patients' guardians.

But...

I think the doctor is threatening the guardians.

Who?

Professor Hong?

Help me.

You're asking for help a lot lately.

I'll try everything that I can.

Those children lying in the intensive care unit.

You saw them too.

So?

Those children...

are just 6, 7, or 8 years old.

They're all Seo Rin's age.

I'm not a doctor. I'm a businessman.

And don't you know what it is that I need?

What do you want?

TL.

This incident will get big enough...

for all the media outlets to pay attention.

You should investigate with the UDC.

After saving the children,

do as I tell you.

If you promise me that, I will help you.

- If you look here... - Yes, thank you.

They sent the questionnaires for the pediatric patients by express.

I guess Professor Hong gave up.

I wonder who made this possible.

Come on, I know who it is.

That person has arrived.

What did you say to them?

What?

I asked for their cooperation.

Who did you ask? Your ex-husband?

- Or your ex-sister-in-law... - Hey.

Hey. Still, thanks to Joong Eun,

we can start our investigation with TL on our shoulders.

Right.

All right, this is all about speed.

Get the questionnaires analyzed before this evening.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

- Good job. - Thanks.

You're here.

Can you explain what this is about?

The results showed subacute and subversive signs.

Including signs of fibrosis.

There was a patient who had lung damage...

after inhaling toxic gas.

It looks like a similar case.

The Pathology will find out soon.

By inhaling, do you mean...

It's not because of a virus,

but an environmental factor.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I just heard something totally different.

From more than 90 percent of patients,

with respiratory diseases, the Mongolian virus was found.

We can tell the cause is a virus.

There's no need to keep the UDC on board...

There's no need anymore.

What about the Pathology?

"We cannot exclude the possibility that it's because of a virus."

I can make that happen.

That sounds good.

Tell Professor Hong to get his dissertation done.

And come up with a hypothesis...

that can explain the high death rate in Korea.

The HLA-B gene variation hypotheses...

that is commonly known in Korea will be more than enough.

Also, don't add opinions like...

"we need to investigate environmental factors"...

in the dissertation either.

Leave the consulting up to me.

Recently, more than 90 percent of respiratory disease patients...

that have been found across the nation...

have tested positive for the Mongolian virus.

As of today, our hospital...

has announced a battle against the Mongolian virus.

Our medical teams...

will cooperate closely with the government...

in order to protect the health and safety of our people,

and try our very best to prevent the outbreak...

of the Mongolian virus.

We sincerely hope all of you will actively cooperate.

Fear is our biggest enemy.

So please do not cause any unnecessary confusion...

- based on groundless rumors... - Was it really...

due to the Mongolian virus?

It smells fishy.

It's too fishy.

That's just the announcement from TL.

The people still think...

TL is the best medical center in this country.

I doubt it's been fabricated.

Other hospitals can find out too if they investigate.

They can't lie about something like that.

You're right, ma'am.

But what we need to focus on...

is the remaining 10 percent...

that hasn't been diagnosed with the Mongolian virus.

Ms. Byun. Didn't Professor Shin call?

I guess they're in a pickle too.

They have no concrete proof to deny that it's not a virus.

On top of that, they're worried about the higher-ups as well.

I understand. Bringing us on board itself...

would be huge pressure on Professor Shin.

Still, that announcement. Something seems...

so fishy about it. Darn it.

Oh, my.

- I'll do it. - Sure.

Here.

Ta-da. Here you go.

Is it good?

(Research on the Risk of TL Chemical's New Substance)

(TL Seoul Medical Center)

Hello.

This is a simple questionnaire.

Okay.

Hello!

- This is a simple questionnaire. - No, thank you.

Can you hold this for a second?

I need to check the houses of the pediatric patients,

but most of them won't let me do that.

Yes. I'll keep persuading them.

Mr. Huh...

Ms. Doh!

Hi, Do Yoon.

Hello.

- How have you been? - Good.

Professor Hong said...

it seems like the Mongolian virus, so we received some medication.

Actually, you need to suspect other things besides a virus.

Such as inside your house, surroundings,

and what he was exposed to.

Ma'am, if it's okay with you,

can you come with me to our house?

It's my day off today, so I have time.

(Checking on our patients is the first step to safety!)

That's fine. I'll drive today.

Is he driving the car himself?

Do Yoon. Wash your hands first.

Okay.

- If you don't mind. - Don't say that.

Take your time looking around.

First of all, can I see Do Yoon's room?

Yes.

Is it okay if I take some pictures?

Of course.

Do you usually keep the window open?

No. It's been over a year...

since they started construction work outside,

and I keep it closed except when I air the room.

Construction work outside. Cement.

He could have been exposed to heavy metal from rebar.

You use a humidifier during summer too?

My wife was adamant about it...

since we both had weak respiratory systems.

May I see the pictures...

of Do Yoon's daycare center?

I need to check whether he was exposed outside the house.

Mr. Kwon.

Is this Do Yoon's designated seat?

Yes. He somehow sits on the same seat this year too.

I found it.

A year ago, as soon as they had their second child,

the child died about three months later.

His wife also passed away soon after that.

He thought the dead child tried to take away his wife too.

He even performed exorcism...

and all kinds of things,

but it was useless.

Still, I guess time cured him.

He started to work for the labor union,

and he's raising his son well.

Mr. Kwon is truly an amazing man.

Mr. Moh, the rats have all died.

Yes, honey. How are the kids?

You know, that product I mentioned before.

You're not using it, right?

Yes. Okay.

Enjoy your dinner.

Okay.

(UDC)

I found the same air freshener inside the house of the kid...

who had the Mongolian virus.

So this was the real cause.

This bad air freshener.

Let's make an announcement...

and recall the products. Then, things will be over.

Wait. We need to check the Material Safety Data Sheet.

We can decide after that.

Come on, the answer is right here.

That's not the answer.

Alcohol, eucalyptus...

It uses natural plant extracts...

We were wrong.

Then is it really the Mongolian virus?

I have somewhere to go.

- Shall I go with you? - No. I need to check something.

That's the Joong Eun I know.

Was anything found in the lab?

Shall I go check?

No, I'll go.

What's with him?

Are those two...

Il Sun. I'm really sorry.

Sorry?

I'll buy you a drink one day.

He seriously needs to take some medication.

Hey, then those two...

What if Mr. Ha shaves his mustache?

Come on, don't be silly. That won't make a difference.

What if he shaves here as well?

No way. I don't even want to think about it.

Oh, boy. Here it is. I was wondering where I put it.

- Jin Yi. - What?

Did you find anything?

No. Nothing.

Jin Hak.

Darn.

Having true courage...

means not wishing for anything in return.

What does that mean?

I can't understand a word of his nonsense.

It's nothing, don't mind him.

So...

Here you go.

What is this? Do I have to run another test?

No. Your throat may go dry...

because of the air conditioner.

It's good to leave that on in summer too.

My mom told me that.

- This is the charger... - No.

I'm not fond of humidity.

(Special Promotion to Prevent the Mongolian Virus!)

Due to the Mongolian virus,

the sales of hand sanitizers, disinfectants,

and masks have skyrocketed.

If one of these was the cause of lung disease,

what item could have commonly been used at homes with children?

Mr. Kwon, do you have anyone you can contact within TL Chemical?

I need some data.

Jin Hak, my guess was right, wasn't it?

I think I'm hopeless.

You are.

Seriously, you little...

You need to start over from the basics.

Well...

Start with sunscreen and a moisturizer.

Since moisturizing is important.

"Moisturizing"?

This data wasn't confidential,

so it wasn't difficult to obtain it.

Thank you.

But why did you ask for this suddenly?

(Humi-Mate Becomes Number One in Market Share)

Mr. Kwon, since when did you start using Humi-Mate?

The humidifier disinfectant that you had at home.

Well...

About three years ago?

(Chief, Gong Il Sun)

Chief, there's a high chance it's the humidifier disinfectant.

We need to look into this.

Really? I'll check right away.

Okay.

Ms. Byun, please check the Material Safety Data Sheet...

for Humi-Mate made by TL Chemical.

Okay.

(MSDS: Information about the safety of chemical products)

Ms. Gong, here you go.

Didn't they actively advertise this Humi-Mate...

after the respiratory diseases broke out?

They said that humidifiers needs to be sterilized too.

Il Sun, TL Chemical.

It's TL again.

- Is this a coincidence? - We don't know yet.

Go visit TL again tomorrow.

This is too obvious for it to be coincidental.

(Results from the house of humidifier disinfectant victim)

(Kim Chae Young)

(Humi-Mate)

I found it.

We confirmed all 12 of them used the humidifier disinfectant.

Then let's analyze those who used it and those who didn't.

- Hurry. - Okay.

We have the test results.

The cross-reference rate is 47,

and reliability rate ranges from 6.0 to 369.7.

The people who used the humidifier disinfectant...

were exposed to lung disease...

47 times more.

There is a statistical significance,

but in order to confirm the actual cause,

we need to run animal testing.

But considering the urgency of this matter,

let's make an announcement first.

Let's do it.

I'll prepare the press release.

You can't do that.

- What are you... - So we meet again.

What are you doing here?

Is this a personal visit?

No, it's about official business.

Do you have any results from the test I asked for last time?

You should leave.

We'll tell you when we have the results.

The humidifier disinfectant?

Did you use Humi-Mate at this center too?

The entire country is using this product.

You should be careful...

with the investigation and the results.

I'm sure we'll do a good job on our own.

"Slime forms in humidifiers."

"The minerals from the tap water and foreign matters from the pipes..."

"accumulate in the humidifier."

"If the slime is inhaled over a long period of time,"

"it could cause an infection in the lungs."

Do we have to keep listening...

to what this man has to say?

"The manufacturer of the humidifier..."

"and the individuals who failed to take proper care of them..."

"are responsible for the illnesses."

Is this why you left the investigation to us...

in the first place, isn't it?

Mr. Choi, please leave.

I'm here to help you.

He's just spewing nonsense.

What I just told you...

is from the announcement Mr. Moh and Oshem are going to make.

To those higher-ups up there.

It sounds too strange. It's not even credible.

Then how credible are the results from the UDC?

You'll need results from animal testing...

if you want to prove it to be hazardous.

We've investigated enough and we'll win...

if we go with the facts.

I hope that's how it turns out.

Hey.

Why are you telling us about this?

Like I told you from the start,

you will have my full support.

What I want is the truth.

Not the feeble truth,

but the powerful truth that can make us win.

I think I've nagged you enough.

I hope you win.

What are they up to?

We will go with our original plan.

Prepare the materials.

Hey!

Wait a minute.

Let's have a talk.

What is it?

You're the vice chairman of TL.

I don't think that you came all the way just to nag us.

What if I did?

Then you're much stupider...

than I thought.

Or, you're an old fool with a big mouth...

who likes to judge other people...

when you're nothing yourself.

You're quite funny.

(Confidential Information)

Sir.

We're getting flooded with inquiries.

What do we do?

I'm sure I sent out a statement you can use.

"They are all harmless to the human body."

Just copy and paste it.

What about the posts that are questioning the product?

Delete them.

There are too many to do that.

Mr. Jung.

Trust me and do as I say.

Yes, sir.

Ma'am.

I need to have a word with you.

Tell me tomorrow unless it's something urgent.

And make an appointment first.

The Mongolian virus...

isn't the cause.

What do you mean?

Are you sure?

I'm telling you this because I thought we should be prepared.

How could TL Chemical make such a mistake?

And why didn't Oshem prevent it earlier?

We should focus on buying time now,

rather than fighting over who is the one to blame.

We need to come up with a way...

to minimize the impact on the company.

- What about the information leak? - I will take care of that.

(Sharp Decline in FAANG)

I heard there's a problem with TL Chemical?

Don't worry, Dad.

Kook Shin will take care of it.

Settle it with Mr. Moh.

Why? We're almost done with it!

I can't hand it over.

I don't trust them! I won't ever hand it over.

We're going to do everything, from putting the ban on the products...

to recalling the products.

Darn it.

The epidemiological survey...

has been transferred to the Ministry of Health.

Are you kidding me?

Why would you give this up? Do you want to mess it up again?

We can't do that, ma'am. We have to finish it.

How can we trust them?

I cannot accept it, ma'am.

How many are we?

Six.

- And them? - 800.

For the past three years,

over two million bottles of this humidifier disinfectant...

were sold.

And this year,

TL added the lavender scent and increased the volume...

and sold 800,000 bottles in a short period of time.

This is going to get complicated and we can't handle it.

Can't we do a joint investigation?

They said our work ends here.

The Ministry of Health will be following up.

Putting the ban on the products, animal testing,

applying legal sanctions, and managing victims.

We can't handle all that.

Il Sun, we should stop the disinfectant being sold.

The Ministry of Health will put the ban on the disinfectant...

based on what we have found.

- I'll be out for a while. - Where are you going?

My job is to support the truth...

you guys worked so hard to find out.

We need to put the ban on the humidifier disinfectant.

We need to enforce it...

before it can harm any more people.

Excuse me. I think you're acting too rashly.

- Daddy! - You're wrong.

You're lacking scientific evidence,

and we still need to establish the facts regarding other factors...

like the minerals from the slime and yellow dust from China.

That is correct. We should first get the results...

from animal testing to prove that the disinfectant caused the disease.

That will take at least three months.

It hasn't yet been proved that...

the disinfectant caused the disease.

Do you want to cause anxiety and fear across the country?

What do you mean, "anxiety and fear"?

I'm just saying we should get rid of the factors...

that could harm people's health.

Are you saying we should regulate a company...

- with uncertain information? - I want to do it.

At a time when the economy is in bad shape?

Are you going to take responsibility?

(Recipe)

(Doh Joong Eun)

The person you have reached is not available.

Do not use the humidifier disinfectant.

- Hello. - Sorry for the late call, sir.

The Ministry of Health gave us a hard time.

And the results?

We've postponed putting the ban on the disinfectant...

until after animal testing.

Good job.

Those jerks!

I knew this would happen.

Didn't it go well?

The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy was in favor of TL.

They've postponed putting the ban on the disinfectant...

until after animal testing.

This is just... Are they out of their minds?

They said they need clear scientific proof.

Darn it.

Why didn't you pick up?

How could you make things turn out like this?

We can't wait until animal testing is done.

There will be even more victims by then.

What about the media?

I'm sure Oshem is controlling them.

Listen.

If I did...

At 8pm, Cheongun-dong.

And...

don't tell Joong Eun.

I'll see about that.

Have a great time.

Oh, boy.

Choi Tae Young, that jerk.

There are so many restaurants in Cheongun-dong.

My, this is a nice building.

Gosh, they dined at such an expensive restaurant.

These jerks...

What? Why are you telling us this just now?

You should've made it public right away.

That was my initial plan.

But...

we all know that we should never underestimate Moh Sung Kuk.

What I mean is, it'll be buried right away...

if we go public with it without a really good plan.

That's right.

He'll make sure it won't stir up anything.

We shouldn't...

just give it to the media.

Hold on.

I have a good idea.

Is this recording?

I haven't done this in a long time, so I'm not sure.

Oh, it's working.

Jin Yi, how does it look? Do I look handsome?

It's great.

Nice, it's working. You're ready, right?

Get on with the nagging.

Welcome to "Get Lost" hosted by Ha Jin Hak.

We'll get started, okay?

I'm sure everyone bought the humidifier disinfectant...

because of the virus from Mongolia and fungal problems in summer.

Humidifiers.

The people who made the disinfectant are total jerks.

You jerks who made this,

get lost.

We're disclosing this information for the first time ever.

I invited the man who always generates...

quite the buzz with his frank, straightforward remarks,

Mr. Kim Bong Pal. Let's chat with him and find out more.

Mr. Kim, please take a seat.

(Mr. Outspoken, Kim Bong Pal)

- Hi. - Welcome.

- I'm... What? - All right. let me... Sorry?

Well, I was going to introduce you to...

I'm Bong Pal. Today, I'm here...

to tell you everything about those jerks...

who have been fooling and deceiving the entire country.

You jerks accepted bribes from TL Chemical...

in return for postponing the ban on the products. You jerks!

- I know everything, you rogues. - You jerks.

Hey, you little...

Hey! Fine, I'm Huh Min Ki. I'm Huh Min Ki!

- You crooks! - Hey.

Don't be such jerks, okay?

I mean, how could you do that to people?

Do you not value human life at all?

(Ha Jin Hak's "Get Lost!")

Please, calm down.

Amazing.

- Mr. Kim... - It's hit one million views.

- may be excluded from... - Jin Hak.

Why didn't you tell me that you have 300,000 subscribers?

That's nothing.

It's only a matter of time before this goes viral.

Did you do a live broadcast wearing a swim brief?

- Get lost! - Get lost!

Thank you for your hard work. It was of great help.

It was my pleasure, sir.

I'm truly honored that I can assist you like this.

How would Mr. Moh take it?

He's probably running around trying to sort it all out.

I look forward to your future achievements.

I promise you my full loyalty, sir.

(Ha Jin Hak's "Get Lost!")

(Choi Tae Young)

It's your turn.

(Does Seo Rin use Humi-Mate?)

"She gently brushed the dry leaves..."

"off her little sister's face."

Does Seo Rin use Humi-Mate?

Stop using it.

Could you come in for a second?

(Humi-Mate)

What's the matter, sir?

When did you start using this?

Just a few days ago.

I bought it because of the virus that's going around.

Please throw it out.

And remove it from the humidifier.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad...

(Don't use the humidifier disinfectant.)

Do Yoon.

Do Yoon? Do Yoon.

Do Yoon. Do Yoon!

Do Yoon, wake up. What's wrong?

Do Yoon! Come on. Wake up.

Do Yoon. It's me, your dad. Do Yoon...

Do Yoon!

Gosh, what's wrong?

Help! Help, please!

- My son can't breathe. - Doctor!

Doctor! Please...

My son can't really breathe.

- Please, hurry! - Bring a stretcher!

Do Yoon...

Take him to the treatment room!

- Coming through! - Make way, please.

Hang in there, Do Yoon.

Call Pediatrics before intubation.

Yes, Doctor.

(Operating Room)

I'll check the monitor.

His heart isn't beating. We have to defibrillate him!

Do Yoon, please live...

I won't be able to go on with my life if I lose even you.

I want to do it.

This is...

something only I can do for you and your mom.

Whatever.

Okay? You understand, right?

(Lee Hyo Jeong)

Mom.

(Lee Hyo Jeong, Kwon Seo Yoon)

Do Yoon, please live.

You have to survive, please.

I figured you'd probably be stressed out.

That's why I wanted to see you.

I guess the UDC...

is causing trouble these days.

Don't worry, sir.

I trust that you'll take care of this...

like you always do with everything else.

Keep monitoring his oxygen levels.

We'll try the CMV method.

Got it.

Do Yoon.

Do Yoon, hang in there.

(Intensive Care Unit, Restricted Area)

He passed the critical stage.

Don't worry too much.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you so much.

After the video posted by the Undiagnosed Disease Center...

about the danger of the popular humidifier disinfectant...

started going viral, the Ministry of Health and Welfare...

- Get... - finally released...

- lost! - an official statement.

According to Article 11.1...

of the Product Safety Act,

we order a nationwide recall of the humidifier disinfectant.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare has ordered a nationwide recall...

of TL Chemical's humidifier disinfectant, Humi-Mate.

All the products will be pulled off shelves starting today.

The fact that the lung disease, which took so many people's lives,

wasn't virus-related and in fact was caused by the disinfectant...

is causing grave concerns.

- How could you do this? - What will you do about this?

How could you sell something that kills people?

You people killed my grandson.

- Let go! - I will never forgive you!

So basically,

I was...

killing my own son slowly.

Gosh, Do Yoon.

You must've been in so much pain.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry, Do Yoon.

I didn't expect to return this soon.

It's been a while, so it's nice to see you. Right?

I don't know exactly what's going on at the moment,

but I'll sort everything out.

The CEO must step in at a time like this.

No, don't step in.

Min, please trust me this time.

This is our company. I can take care of this.

I wasn't expecting you to be responsible...

and sort things out when I told you to return.

I only did it to keep you under my control.

Don't cause trouble and just stay put.

I'm disappointed in you.

What does Pathology mean to you?

It's about discovering truths. How could you lie...

after studying it for three years?

I already know what awaits TL if it's run by you.

It'll definitely go downhill from where it is now.

Professor.

Don't be disrespectful when you're talking about TL.

One-fifth of this country's GDP is generated by TL.

Now that it's run by me,

I'll be sure to maintain that...

at all costs.

What's up this early?

We have to voluntarily recall all the products...

and apologize immediately.

Am I responsible for that?

Don't you think I'd know...

you and Mr. Moh colluded and got the company in this mess?

Don't do anything rash.

It still needs to be proven scientifically.

Hey, Min.

Seo Rin has been using it too.

If you let it drag out more...

Mr. Moh is just using you. Do you realize that?

Call him now and stop this mess...

unless you want to be summoned to attend hearings.

Why would they summon me?

Then I'll take care of this.

- What are you going to do? - I'll report your husband,

the CEO of TL Chemical, to the prosecution first.

And I'll make him apologize.

If he refuses, I'll apologize to the public on his behalf.

Who do you think you are?

TL will be reborn.

We'll break free from the past...

and stop all the wrong things we've been doing.

That's the TL I've always dreamed of.

Why would you step in when Dad is still alive?

He's 80. His life is hanging by a thread,

completely dependent on doctors' care.

You don't know how ill Dad really is.

You have no idea, right?

Dad.

What are you so angry about?

The fact that you're ill?

You were never fond of me.

Dad. Are you all right, Dad?

Dad, have a seat.

You need to leave, Tae Young.

Dad.

Yes.

Mr. Jung was the one who leaked the information.

Let's stop by the office.

- I have another thing to tend to. - No problem, sir.

Have him sit up.

Yes, sir.

Sure, understood.

Mr. Jung.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Wait, Mr. Moh.

Why are you doing this to me?

If...

If this is due to my incompetence, I will work harder.

No, you may rest now.

Mr. Moh. Sir.

Mr. Moh! Please, Mr. Moh...

Mr. Moh.

(Diagnostic Analysis Result)

Sorry to interrupt.

- Ms. Gong. - Yes.

I need to tell you something.

Go ahead.

The lung X-rays of the humidifier disinfectant victims...

coincide with the symptoms of the foreign worker I treated.

Most lung X-rays look similar, you know.

No. The humidifier disinfectant that's been banned...

and the cutting oil the foreign worker used...

were both manufactured by TL Chemical.

Even you're going to be like this?

You know it doesn't give us the explanation we need.

Why not? It's a good approach.

When you really can't solve the problem,

you can start with your instincts. Go with your gut.

I have to say, it is really strange.

I saw lavender scent on the MSDS of the cutting oil,

which is very unusual.

- And Humi-Mate also contains... - Lavender scent.

Yes.

Her instincts were right.

What happened to the foreign worker?

He died.

From acute respiratory distress due to pulmonary fibrosis.

The humidifier disinfectant is causing the same symptoms.

Joong Eun, do you think...

The substance must have been used in many products.

If it's TL Chemical,

Moh Sung Kuk must have known about it.

Ms. Gong,

this isn't the end of it.

(Research on the Risk of TL Chemical's New Substance)

(Researcher: Kim Yang Hee)

(Doctor Detective)

The results were all fabricated.

They will forget about the humidifier disinfectant.

It ruined all the families who used the humidifier disinfectant.

You'll make TL go under.

I'm trying to save TL, when it's taking a dive.

We are planning on requesting...

the UDC for a search and seizure on TL Chemical.

We're from the UDC. Please cooperate with us.
