(Doctor Detective)

(Episode 1)

(Sungrak Industry)

These labor union jerks.

I feel so sorry for myself.

Always worrying about the labor union.

I heard there's a new patient, but they didn't even tell me.

I guess they don't trust me.

Those jerks.

I'm worried they'll all argue it's an industrial accident.

(Sungrak Restaurant)

It won't take long, right?

We have to finish it before the labor union arrives.

What?

What's the matter with this? My goodness.

Considering their age,

it might be flushing due to menopause,

but they stated they were in pain, so that's ruled out.

The most probable cause is UV rays.

But jumping to conclusions is risky.

What's up with this?

Ms. Doh, what are you doing?

Give me 10 minutes.

Is it a simple case of dermatitis due to the steam...

and kitchen detergents?

But that doesn't explain the scar on the back of their neck.

Ruled out.

Old cooking utensils?

They would have produced friction while frying at high temperature.

Then heavy metal and fine dust could have been produced.

Out of these, arsenic and chrome can lead to a skin rash.

Were they exposed? It's actually possible.

But a male worker was also in charge of the dishes,

and he didn't show any symptoms. Ruled out.

The UV ray sterilizer was recently changed.

It was made in 2017. Ruled out.

What are you doing, Ms. Doh?

When did you change the water pipes?

Quite long ago.

My boss threw a fit...

because we spent too much money.

What used to be up there?

Probably something like an air conditioner.

Considering the space,

an air conditioner won't fit in there.

It had to be heavy enough to require three nails.

An air purifier,

TV, or humidifier.

What could it be?

Ms. Doh, we need to hurry.

Where is the company warehouse?

Here.

This uses UV rays to kill insects.

When the insects are attracted to the bright UV rays,

they're zapped and killed by electricity.

But there is something wrong with the lamp like my expectation.

It's a UV ray C-lamp used for sterilization.

This is what caused the redness in their eyes and skin.

It was installed right next to their table where they rested.

They must have been exposed to it for quite long.

The men went outside to smoke during their break...

and ate separately, so they were okay.

Get rid of this before they do an epidemiological survey tomorrow.

And change the lamp too.

Thank you so much.

You are indeed the best.

If they carry out an epidemiological survey,

they'll all insist it's an industrial accident.

Let's get rid of the evidence, so that won't happen.

Since I'm done here,

why don't you pay me first?

Yes, sure. That slipped my mind.

Here you go.

Don't ever mention my name.

Of course. Don't worry.

I'm the only one who knows you came here.

But who would put this in the warehouse?

I know.

It can't have been those labor union jerks.

I... I'm the one who did it.

One second.

Who are you?

That's a good pose.

Let's take one more shot of you in that pose.

Hey, who are you?

Who are you with?

The epidemiological survey is scheduled for tomorrow.

Well, I...

I'm not part of that team.

- The labor union called for... - Gosh, look at you.

The company is supposed to take care of...

I know they're supposed to,

but that "supposed to" always makes the epidemiological survey...

Man...

"Man"?

It's always a mess!

Besides,

what is this?

There are always these jerks...

who try to hide away the evidence.

That's why we set up a new institution.

It's called the UDC.

"UDC"?

It's a new institution, collaborated by the Ministry of Labor,

the Ministry of Environment,

and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

We're granted independent investigation too.

Here.

(UDC, Huh Min Ki)

Mind your own business.

Article 68 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act.

Anyone who deliberately conceals...

an industrial accident will be fined...

50 thousand dollars!

15 thousand dollars.

And you shouldn't be so confident yourself.

Isn't it illegal to search and confiscate evidence...

without a warrant?

Min Ki.

I told you to watch your mouth.

We're public officials.

Yes, ma'am!

- I'm the UDC. - "UDC"?

Long time no see.

Ms. Doh! Where are you going?

Il Sun, are you really going to let them go?

- That's how we get them back. - What?

I'm going to recruit her to the UDC.

You're going to bring someone like that?

Someone who hides evidence of an industrial accident...

and gets kickbacks from the company?

She's a total thug!

Hey, Min Ki. How long did it take you to find the evidence?

You were out here for a month,

and she found it in 10 minutes.

She's not just any doctor.

She's Doctor Detective.

(Doctor Detective)

You have a package.

Come and sit down.

Just keep talking.

(Yegi Industry, Contact after 10pm)

(Bubble Bubble Daycare Center)

Are you seeing your kid?

Sometimes.

Life is so...

How is the medical lawsuit going?

Gosh... It wasn't even your fault.

How could they file a lawsuit and even suspend your license?

Those jerks.

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you really get fired...

for working on that case?

You didn't even get started on it.

I guess they needed an excuse if they wanted to do it properly.

Man...

Just forget about those jerks at TL Gifted Education Foundation...

and come to UDC. Work with me.

- I'm not going. - Aren't you going to work?

Did you give up on your life?

I'm doing fine.

Hey, how long are you going to keep this up?

You're a professional with a Ph.D. from Harvard...

and you're working at factories late at night...

and concealing industrial accidents.

What are you going say to Seo Rin?

Seo Rin has nothing to do with this.

Go on and leave.

Raise a toast

Ms. Doh.

You have to promise to keep ignoring me.

Don't tell my mom that I got drunk.

Raise...

a toast...

Take some cold medicine when you're sober.

I told you to ignore me.

Where are you going?

It's cold out.

Go inside before you catch a cold.

Raise a...

Ms. Doh!

Why are you drinking every day?

You got so many!

Are you having proper meals?

I saw that Ha Rang is back.

Yes, he's back.

Let's have dinner together.

I bought tofu for some great cheonggukjang.

I'm good.

No, you're not.

- Come with me. - I...

Come on, hurry!

(Your beginnings will seem humble so prosperous will your future be.)

It's all ready.

Our house is quite a mess, isn't it?

Gosh, why did you drink so much when you can't even handle it?

Are you trying to prove that you're an adult now?

It happens now that I'm working.

Haven't you prepared any meat?

Meat? It's right here!

There's the meat.

There...

Here's the meat.

Besides, you should take it easy at work...

and learn to slack off a bit.

Gosh, stop nagging me.

Dig in, Ms. Doh.

Okay.

Everything is good about your company,

but they tire you out too much.

But still, it's not easy...

to get a full-time job at TL these days.

And at such a young age too.

Sure. You have a great son, don't you?

Whose baby are you?

I'll be your baby.

- Of course, you're my baby. - All right, all right.

You're my baby.

- Let me eat. - All right, go ahead.

(Bubble Bubble Daycare Center)

(Yegi Industry)

(Yegi Industry)

(To my loving daughter Seo Rin)

(Seo Rin's Birthday)

(Bubble Bubble Daycare Center)

When will you visit me again? My baby.

Son, I'm always so proud of you. You know that, right?

Don't skip meals.

You know how much I love you, right?

Gosh, stop it. You're making me cringe.

Did you have a good time at home?

What's with this suit?

Are you coming from a wedding?

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, the suit looks great on you. You look dashing.

We'll be late. Let's hurry.

(TL Gifted Education Foundation)

Did you not get the text message?

Contact the chairman.

This is crazy.

This is the second time.

I'm one thing, but think about the kid.

Calm down first.

Call Seo Rin and tell her you're busy.

This is TL Medical Center, right? The VIP...

You should wear this now.

I don't want to.

Why won't you wear it?

All your friends are here to wish you a happy birthday.

My gosh. You look so pretty today, Seo Rin.

Aunt Min, when will Mom be here?

She'll probably be here by the time we finish...

singing the happy birthday song and blow out the candles.

All right.

There.

As you know, it's Seo Rin's birthday today.

You can all sing for her, right?

- Yes! - Yes!

Shall we sing, then? Start!

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Seo Rin - Happy birthday, dear Seo Rin

Seo Rin, please.

I'll buy you the storybook that you like.

Don't be upset.

Your mom's calling.

Just a second.

Mom.

I learned a new song today.

Seo Rin, you learned a new song?

Can you sing it for me?

Yes. By the way, are you not coming today?

I'm sorry.

I'm very busy today.

Seo Rin, you can wait for Mom, right?

Seo Rin.

(VIP Ward)

What's going on?

Why couldn't she meet Seo Rin this morning?

It was Mr. Chairman's order.

Is he inside his office now?

Please don't say anything about the kid.

He's quite sensitive today.

Mr. Kwon.

I mean...

Mr. Kwon Min Cheol.

Was that...

an order?

Go in, please.

I'm here.

What brings you by?

I stopped by to see how you're doing, Father.

I bet you're here because of Seo Rin's mom.

I'm sorry for causing you concern.

I'll make sure I get her out of the picture.

- Don't worry. - Really?

You take care of it, then.

Yes, sir.

Oh, that. Do Young and I are going together,

- but it'll take about an hour... - You punk. Get back here now.

If they don't want to renew the contract...

because we're late, will you take responsibility?

We'll leave right away. Yes, sir.

Gosh! Hey.

- My goodness. - Yes, we'll be there shortly.

Hey.

Why do you trip and fall so often these days?

Why don't you talk to the labor union leader...

and go see a doctor?

You always talk about the labor union.

Are you a hero of justice or what?

I'm fine, so let's hurry.

Yes, right. Understood.

I'm sorry.

Got it. I'll be there shortly.

Yes, okay. Right.

Jung Ha Rang.

(The train for Beomilsan is now approaching.)

(The train for Beomilsan is now approaching.)

(Beomilsan-bound Train)

We take care of things for TL Metro's Technology Center.

We're in charge of...

repairing and maintaining the platform screen doors.

As for workplace accidents,

we completed our manual last year.

And we strictly abide by the teams of two rule.

- Sir. - Yes?

Let's not complicate things.

Not all government institutions do everything by the book.

UDC is... How should I put this?

We're quite lax. We understand. Okay?

I see, yes. I'm glad to hear that.

Then can we wrap up the inspection here?

Come on.

- You need to return the favor. - Pardon me?

I need to leave with something...

to save face in front of my higher-ups, you know.

Oh, right. Then how about I take you out for a meal?

Well, let me look around and see if there's anything I can take.

Sir.

It's Hanil SD. It specializes in screen door maintenance.

They do outsourced work now,

but the company will become part of TL Metro soon.

Your job seems quite dangerous.

No, it's not dangerous at all.

Ms. Doh, please don't say anything to my mom.

She'll just nag me more.

Okay, I won't tell her.

Really? You promised me, okay?

And about your phone... As soon as I join TL Metro,

I'll buy you the newest model.

No, don't worry about it. It's okay.

No, as soon as I get a permanent position...

Yes.

Yes, I can be there shortly.

Yes, right.

Sir, you don't need to inspect anything else.

Let's just go have a meal.

Come on. Let's go.

My gosh, Ha Rang. You work so hard.

My gosh, good to see you. Okay.

Let's go.

He's working alone. I thought you said they work in pairs.

Oh, well... His partner is probably nearby somewhere.

Do you like sushi?

Sushi sounds yummy.

But I don't see his partner.

I don't see him anywhere.

When I come next time,

make sure they're working in a team of two.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

Promise me.

I promise.

Stamp.

Stamp.

Darn it.

Sir, if you don't like sushi, how about beef?

Sir?

Oh my goodness.

Ha Rang!

(The train is now arriving.)

Help!

Help me!

No!

Wait, you didn't give me a vitamin shot?

Vitamin?

Look at my hand. It's trembling like mad.

How could you not give me any vitamins?

Don't you have a lot of nice stuff here?

Why don't you give me some of those vitamin shots? Seriously.

Look at my hand. Goodness.

Do you see it trembling?

Ms. Doh Joong Eun.

Come here.

Let's receive an IV injection together. Since we met and all.

She totally ignored me.

Did I say that too quietly?

Why do you always insult me?

Ignoring my texts and calls all the time.

Do you know how much Il Sun breathes down my neck?

"Hey, Huh Min Ki. Where's Doh Joong Eun?"

Huh Min Ki, Huh Min Ki!

- Huh Min Ki! - Oh, gosh.

You scared me.

What is the matter with you? Follow me.

I'm sorry for the trouble every time. I'll take him.

Trouble? Who?

Goodness. Just listen to me and don't whine that you're sick later.

Hey, Ms. Byun.

How could you say that to someone who saved two people today?

Can you be a little more polite?

Come on.

You demanded a bribe?

Are you insane?

I'll sue you for violation of the Anti-bribery and graft act.

Bribe? Who said that?

Am I wrong?

The guy from the metro company said that.

That jerk, Mr. Goh. How could he say that?

Ms. Byun, can't you trust me?

I practically threw myself on those tracks...

and saved two citizens who were about to die.

Goodness.

What on earth are you doing?

Getting ready for my shot.

Put your pants on. This is a shot for your veins.

Oh, on my arm?

You should have told me so in the first place.

Here.

Why did you even study...

Occupational and Environmental Medicine?

To get revenge.

Revenge? What revenge? On who?

I was joking. How could you believe that?

There's no night duty...

and I'm paid quite well.

But this is still a public institution.

What are you doing here with that pitiful salary?

You should go out and examine patients and make serious money.

That's true.

There's a job opening at Gangnam AMC currently.

I saw it on the Medijob site.

The salary is 250,000 dollars.

Right. I should leave this company.

You're right. It's faster for me to just leave now.

Repeated hand trembling.

A dry cough that caused pain.

It wasn't a cold.

It's a chronic cough.

It could be tuberculosis that was found in the dorm lately.

If it's some sort of poisoning, what could it be?

Organic solvents used before cleaning.

Heavy metal, dust, and chemicals.
