Original subtitles

Thank you.

- Goodnight, Ms. Suk. - Bye.

- Thank you. - Goodnight.

- Here you go. - Is this for me?

- Of course. - Thank you.

What is this?

Thank you.

Ms. Doh, listen to me carefully from now on.

If it's because of the paint from the factory he works at night,

in principle, he should request for an industrial accident.

Mr. Kim was fired from that factory too.

Still, he can request that it's an industrial accident.

Anyhow, we need to prove...

it's a furniture factory instead of a bakery.

If he requests again, it will take another three months, right?

We don't even know when this small business will close down.

Mr. Huh.

There's a limit to how much I can put up with this.

- As long as it's under my name... - Then...

let's do it under my name.

Do you think it's because I'm afraid of being responsible?

Calm down.

First of all, go to the factory where he works at night...

and check for substances that can cause asthma.

I already did.

The MDI rate that causes asthma was three times higher.

I went secretly and checked.

If I didn't, we'd be wasting time with the equipment. You know that.

Here.

If Mr. Kim reapplies from the furniture factory,

I'm certain it will be proved that this was work-related.

So just make sure these papers get passed.

It's going to be accepted anyway,

so let's not make him suffer for another three months.

If we found a substance, he should reapply according to the procedure.

He should wait for three months.

I knew it.

We need to look at cases involving occupational asthma...

that have been reported since 2010.

Among those cases, three of them have been confirmed...

that mental stress was the cause instead of a substance.

It's not a high probability, but there are actual precedents.

Are you claiming this is an asthma attack due to job stress?

It's too ambiguous. This won't be passed.

Seriously.

It will pass.

If you look at the medical reports,

Mr. Kim visited the hospital due to asthma mostly last January.

To be exact, he went every Monday afternoon.

Why? Because every Monday morning,

there was a staff meeting.

And the owner hosted that meeting himself since last January.

The cause-and-effect checks out.

What's surprising is...

this case of an asthma attack that resulted in death last year.

The owner hosted his so-called meeting...

and bullied him harshly to provoke his asthma.

But unfortunately, he ended up dying.

If we don't get to the bottom of this, someone else might die.

Do you have official data of that staff meeting?

Yes. It's saved on the Webmaster calendar.

So job stress is the common cause for the two asthma patients.

There's a 2012 thesis on the connection between...

stress and asthma attacks. I'll give it to you, so attach it.

Also, I'm the head researcher.

I'll take responsibility.

Thank you.

They found traces of melamine from the red sack.

It's a substance that shouldn't be in food.

Do you remember the milk powder incident from 10 years ago?

That melamine?

Ms. Gong said it's not our business and told me to drop it,

but I reported it to the Food and Drug Administration.

Their business will be suspended for at least three months.

Nice job.

(Thank you for your support all this time.)

- Did you hear news of the owner? - No.

The head baker called me and said he got arrested.

For installing a hidden camera.

Is this the Crime Team of Namil Police Station?

I have something to report.

(Letter of Resignation)

What is this? Are you getting married?

No. I can't stand the sight of you, so I quit.

So Young. You know how much I care for you, right?

Don't you know?

Why don't we talk over a glass of wine?

Let go of me, you crazy jerk.

Hey. Do you think I didn't know what you were up to?

You brat. Come here.

Hey!

I was nice to you because of your looks. Are you crazy?

- Who are you? - Stop this.

- You are under arrest... - What is this?

for violation of article 14 of the Sexual Violence Law.

- Hey. - You can hire an attorney...

and have the right to remain silent.

What on earth? Let go! Do you know who I am?

Stay still!

Go and rot in jail, you crazy pervert.

- Hey! - Shut up, you jerk.

- Come here. - Let go. I can walk on my own.

I feel sick. He was a total filthy pervert.

The company's financial affairs were a mess,

and he'll be charged with embezzlement and malpractice too.

Ms. Doh, good job.

Il Sun. I took care of the asthma case.

I need to do some last-minute checking,

so I'll drop by the site and go home.

I'll submit the report tomorrow. Salute!

You don't have to salute me.

Unity.

We need to unite as one now. Okay?

- Depending on how nice you are. - You punk...

Goodness.

I found it during last night's patrol.

I didn't know whose it was and checked it at home.

I think you should take a look at it yourself.

(I solemnly swear to keep all of the above strictly confidential.)

(Signature and Seal, Park Sung Joon)

They were arguing, and he was pushed.

Do you see this as murder?

This isn't murder.

I'm sure of it.

It's been leaked. UDC has it.

Darn it!

He had a muscle spasm. I'm sure of it.

He tried to save him at the last moment.

It wasn't an intended murder.

Could you zoom in?

He tried to save him and his hand...

A spasm!

You're right, he had a spasm.

But wait. Are you sure this video clip is credible?

Who was it? Did they drop it or just leave it?

Darn.

The hip-hop boy!

He's the one we were looking for.

He must've come to give me this video clip.

But he was acting weird.

He wasn't trying to harm me. He was only scared of TL.

Then he's in contact with them too?

- Probably. - Then why would he come to us?

Because of his conscience?

Ms. Gong, this video is sure evidence.

He had muscle spasms in his hands, which means it's not n-Hexane.

We were wrong.

Gosh...

Darn it, what do we do? We're going to be in trouble.

And we only opened up six months ago.

Let's start from the beginning.

How long has he been missing?

More than 10 days.

He could be dangerous.

If you're right, he's the living proof.

Fine. Let's open up all possibilities.

Find everything that can cause muscle spasms.

From heavy metals to any kind of crazy substances.

Gosh.

I guess you make mistakes too.

Fine.

Let's try this.

Forget about the current epidemiological survey.

- Could it be... - How did we miss that?

Myasthenia in the leg.

Chronic cough.

Skin lesions.

This...

must be mercury poisoning!

Ha Rang's mother must have witnessed the skin lesions on his body.

And I'm sure she remembers it.

It was the last she saw of her dead son.

And the skin lesions...

will tell us what caused the poisoning.

He would have had skin lesions somewhere around his chest.

Some red or swollen spots.

I know it must be hard, but please try to remember. It's important.

It looked similar to this.

It wasn't this bad, though.

This one?

How about this?

Yes.

They all looked like this.

Is this why Ha Rang passed out?

I'll tell you when we're sure of it, ma'am.

Okay.

Both Do Young and Ha Rang's hands were trembling.

That means they were exposed to it at the same time.

Then the place they could have been exposed to it at the same time...

Ms. Doh!

Hello.

We met at the funeral.

I'm Ha Rang's colleague.

Thank you for finding out about the n-Hexane.

No problem.

If I get sick on the job, I'll go and see you.

Of course, you won't get sick. Don't say that.

Hey!

I told you to take this.

I heard you live with your grandfather.

I packed some kimchi and side dishes,

so be sure to eat them.

You shouldn't have.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll get going, then.

Take care.

Ha Rang...

always skipped meals when he lived in that dorm,

and he and Do Young couldn't eat square meals, either.

The dorm. A place the two of them shared.

I have to get going, ma'am.

Okay.

(Exhibit 16)

(Details)

(Location, 177-13, Nameun-dong, Namil City)

Joong Eun?

Over here.

Hey.

Namil...

is the place TL was planning a bio-industrial complex.

Gosh... Be careful.

Yes, ma'am.

Great.

This video is just a draft version of what we will be screening...

at the Bio World Convention in the U.S.

We will easily reach a preorder of 30,000 liters...

before the second factory is finished.

He even succeeded in landing a second client.

I was only there to make it final.

Mr. Choi was the one who pulled all the strings.

Is that so?

Mr. Choi played a big role.

It wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the Planning Department.

Everyone is praising him to be the next king of management...

after you, sir.

It means he wants a bonus.

He's only giving me the credit because he's shy.

Of course not, sir.

- I'll be outside, sir. - Okay.

Watch out for the press.

Make sure to take care of them before anything comes up.

Yes, sir.

I've made it the Planning Department's main duty.

Is Moh Sung Kuk helping you out?

I asked him to make sure not to cause us any damage.

I'm sure he'll do well.

If not, then he'll have to take responsibility.

I'm sure he'll do well.

I just hope he doesn't get caught trying to hide something again.

Or else it will cause great damage to the bio-industrial complex.

I won't let it slide if that happens.

It will be easier for him to deal with Joong Eun.

Since he has nothing to do with the kid.

He's an expert in that field.

Use your tools wisely.

He's a useful one.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and...

are you letting Seo Rin meet her mom behind my back?

That would never happen, sir.

Make sure it doesn't.

You better start putting her in your past, too.

I understand, sir.

Right.

Today is the day of Joong Eun's trial.

I'm sure it will end...

the way you wanted.

All right.

I'll get to work, then.

Hello.

What? What do you mean?

But you said we would win.

I did,

but they changed judges and that means they meddled with the court.

I mean, TL did.

But... No, that can't be true.

It's true. And I won't be able to handle it.

I think we will have to make a compromise.

If we're not careful,

you might be prohibited from seeing your child.

How could you say that as a lawyer?

Will I be likely to win if I appeal?

I'm sorry. I can't guarantee anything.

It seems like they've already planned everything out.

Then what if I don't do it?

If I decide not to appeal,

how much will I have to pay?

I'd say...

about 200,000 dollars in total.

(Doh Joong Eun)

(Choi Tae Young)

I heard Ms. Doh went to work again today.

So? Are you here to tell on her? I thought you were a busy man.

I'm getting a bad feeling.

You need to move one step ahead of her.

What do you mean?

Don't be so cryptic. I'm not following at all.

She can attack you anytime if her limbs are functioning.

You're letting her roam around freely.

You must've done a ton of bad deeds so far.

I did what was necessary.

Look, Mr. Moh.

What did you find at the site in Namil?

What are you hiding this time, you sneaky man?

About TL Oshem...

As you know, it's strictly confidential.

"Strictly confidential".

Are you confident that you can keep it confidential?

Yes, as long as you don't obstruct.

And if you can take care of Ms. Doh.

Why should I? You can do it yourself, can't you?

You're even giving orders to the CEO of the company now.

Is it about time you left the company?

Shall I fire you?

Fire me? You'll have to kill me.

From TL Mobile to Automotive, Display and Biotech,

I know about all the occupational diseases...

caused by hazardous substances,

which the company has been trying to conceal.

Just firing me won't do.

You shouldn't let me walk out of here alive.

Do you understand?

No, I don't.

Why bother reporting things to me if you have that much power?

Shall I handle things on my own?

- If that's easier for you... - It must be the chairman's order.

I know that much.

If you keep this up, you'll be taught a serious lesson someday.

My gosh, thank you for your concern.

And you're right.

All of this is what he wants.

That includes you and me locking horns like this.

You see,

I am simply following his orders.

It's me.

Look into how much UDC has found out about the site in Namil.

Thanks.

All the sacks that were left around the dormitory are gone now.

They were here a month ago.

Someone must've got rid of them since that time.

What was in the sacks?

Waste materials from the building next to it?

Or construction materials?

A company that makes industrial detergents...

was most recently registered under this address.

Did their industrial waste contain a toxic substance?

Then poisoning is possible.

If the toxic substance leaked into the dormitory...

I'm sure someone cleaned up the site to conceal the traces,

but it'd be difficult to keep it as a perfect crime.

I knew it.

The silver liquid with high surface tension.

It turns black when it comes in contact with powdered sulfur.

The toxic substance that caused...

the severe skin problems which shocked Ha Rang.

It's mercury.

If this heavy metal is spread all over this building,

I'm sure it leaked into the dormitory.

Is Doh Joong Eun still inside that waste building?

Yes, sir.

What about the dormitory? Did she go in there too?

No.

What about the evidence? Are you sure she found it?

- Yes, sir. - Get out of there. It's too late.

She could easily lose her footing and die here though.

What do you mean?

Let's get rid of her.

Answer quickly, sir.

If you don't answer, I'll consider it a yes.

Who are you? Identify yourself!

(Global Inspection Agency That Leads Innovation)

What kind of work do you do?

No one should be injured...

No one should get sick...

And no one should die on the job.

If you're ill, it is not your fault.

It's all because of your job.

Hello. I'm Gong Il Sun, the Chief of UDC.

Yes. We'll be right there.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

(UDC is on the move!)

- Move! Move it! - Let's go!

(Global Inspection Agency That Leads Innovation)

The Undiagnosed Disease Center was founded...

through a joint effort of the Ministry of Environment,

Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Labor.

It is the only independent...

epidemiological investigation agency in the country.

Various misdiagnosed diseases from all over the country.

Does it hurt?

From undiagnosed diseases,

mysterious deaths,

and occupational diseases that haven't been discovered,

we will find out all the diseases that you suffer from,

just like detectives.

The camera's rolling.

- We, UDC will... - UDC will...

- always be on the laborers' side! - always be on the laborers' side!

(The laborers' true friend! Come to UDC!)

(Doctor Detective)

Take care of it.

If she found the evidence that we were trying so hard to hide,

hide it again.

Why does it have to be murder?

Kim Do Hyeong has been arrested for murder.

It isn't me!

We have to find the mercury as soon as possible.

I'll go to the site in Namil.

You sent her to that place again?

You guys are doctors!

Not detectives, but doctors!

Mr. Huh, your hunch was right.

You're truly amazing. Great job.

I think she's being sarcastic.

It was a down-right compliment.
