Original subtitles

Mr. Huh, please call the police.

All right.

If he does, your daughter will die.

What do you mean?

Was it you?

Did you kidnap Seo Rin? Where is Seo Rin?

What did you just say? "Kidnap"?

- Tell us! - Where is Seo Rin now?

Where is Seo Rin?

She's probably looking for her mom desperately now.

She was coughing,

so I turned the humidifier on.

How could you?

Where is Seo Rin?

If you want something, you need to make a deal.

Make a deal with me.

Tell me, where is my Seo Rin?

Tell me now!

If you're not going to make a deal with me,

your kid's lungs will completely harden up.

You don't have much time.

Tell us.

Where is Seo Rin, you jerk!

I know that the UDC has data on me.

I'll quietly leave the country,

so tell them to hold everything until then.

Then I'll let your daughter live.

Mr. Huh.

Call Ms. Gong.

Yes.

You should do that.

(Choi Min)

Go to the site at Namil.

The car keys.

Don't worry about us.

You have to call me right away if anything happens. Okay?

You're going to regret not making a deal with me!

Shut your mouth, you little scumbag.

Moh Sung Kuk.

I'll just talk comfortably.

I got you. You punk.

Seo Rin!

Seo Rin!

(Humi-Mate)

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin!

Seo Rin!

Seo Rin!

Seo Rin! Seo Rin!

Seo Rin!

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

Oh, no... Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

No, please...

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin. No...

Seo Rin.

Seo Rin.

Doh Joong Eun has found Seo Rin.

I'm glad to hear that.

Now, take care of everything...

that ties us with the kidnap incident.

No one must know...

an employee of TL kidnapped the granddaughter of TL's chairman.

Also,

make sure you don't do anything to damage TL's reputation.

What shall I do with the child?

Just let her leave with her mom.

- Yes, it's me. - Why? Who is it? Did she find her?

I'm so relieved. Yes, okay.

What? Did she find Seo Rin?

Gosh.

She found Seo Rin.

- What a relief. - Gosh.

Goodness.

Hello.

- Hello, Seo Rin! - Come here!

I'm so glad to see you.

- Welcome back. - Seo Rin.

A few days ago, the police arrested...

Director Moh Sung Kuk of TL Oshem faces charges of murder...

that has shocked our society.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm not in the mood for greetings.

Just cut to the chase.

How long will it take to get me out of here?

Why aren't you answering me?

Do you think you can lead TL on your own?

I heard your dad even fainted.

I don't think you're in a position to be worried about me.

Please don't take me wrong.

I'm just worried about the wellbeing of TL.

Ms. Choi.

I'm not someone you can just abandon easily.

I am...

someone who must not leave TL while I'm alive.

The tool will stab its owner?

Ms. Choi.

It was very interesting to hear what you had to say today.

I wasn't expecting to hear something like that.

I'll bear in mind what you said, Mr. Moh.

Thank you.

Please rise from your seats.

Please take your seats.

We will begin the trial...

for case number 2019,

reference number 1017.

Please begin the examination of the witnesses.

First, we need to ask about...

whether he fabricated Ha Rang's case to look like it was due to alcohol.

This won't be enough as evidence.

We need a whistle-blower.

But that's the most difficult thing to do.

There aren't many people who are willing to risk...

their own jobs.

We need to try at least.

There will be someone who will talk.

The blood alcohol level...

of Jung Ha Rang was zero percent.

When the media concluded that the accident was due to alcohol,

I was ordered to get rid of his blood.

Oshem gave that order.

My job was on the line, and I just did as I was told.

I'm sorry.

Ha Rang was like a brother to me,

and it was too painful to bear.

I wanted to come out and reveal the truth.

I hope it's not too late.

Whenever there was an issue regarding an industrial accident,

from the press release to managing the victims,

and controlling the media,

TL had an overall manual for any type of situation.

And everything started from...

Director Moh Sung Kuk's orders.

Was that manual applied for the methanol incident...

and the humidifier disinfectant as well?

Yes.

Also, even bribes were used in some occasions.

I saw members of our economic, social, and labor department...

meet with Director Moh Sung Kuk of Oshem on several occasions.

Do you mean there was a corrupt relationship?

Yes.

Do you not remember when you asked TL for help?

Defendant, what did you just say? Please refrain from talking.

What you just said...

maybe used unfavorably against you...

during this trial.

Your Honor.

Due to the effects of mercury poisoning,

the defendant is experiencing confusion.

We hope for your understanding.

She better not understand him at all.

Then, call your last witness.

(Witness Seat)

(Defendant's Seat)

Ms. Doh Joong Eun.

You were the doctor in charge for the late Kim Yang Hee, right?

Yes.

According to the report submitted by the UDC,

we found out she was already affected by...

the humidifier disinfectant three years ago.

Ms. Kim Yang Hee...

was the first victim of the humidifier disinfectant.

Then is it true TL knew about the risks...

during the experimental stage, yet still launched the product?

Not only did they know,

but in order to hide that fact, they murdered Kim Yang Hee.

- Oh, my gosh. - What?

They're murderers!

Please quiet down.

Then if Kim Yang Hee had not died,

there wouldn't have been hundreds of victims...

of the humidifier disinfectant.

Yes, that's right.

- I'm finished. - Okay, let's go.

In the evidence you submitted,

you described in great detail about the industrial accidents...

covered up by the defendant...

as well as the illegal acts he committed over the past few years.

You also requested to be a witness to the prosecution first.

May I ask why you're taking part in this trial so aggressively?

The defendant, Moh Sung Kuk...

exchanged the people's safety for his company's profits.

When a young 19-year-old man...

suffered a terrible subway accident,

and when a laborer of a subcontracting company...

went blind due to methanol,

Moh Sung Kuk avoided taking responsibility...

and fabricated the cases.

I also...

(Attorney's Seat, Defendant's Seat)

feel unfortunate...

for those unexpected accidents.

I do feel unfortunate,

but all I did was do my job.

Also,

I'm not the one who caused those accidents.

Defendant.

We are questioning the witness right now.

I'm just saying this because it's so boring and silly to hear.

Defendant, if you insult the court one more time,

you will face the consequences.

Please continue.

People died.

(Witness Seat)

But nothing changed.

As long as he thinks that the painful voices of laborers...

are merely boring and silly,

nothing will change.

Okay, thank you.

That will be all.

Case number 2019, reference number 1017.

I will announce the sentence for the defendant, Moh Sung Kuk.

According to the evidence obtained by the prosecution,

it is clear the defendant committed criminal acts,

inflicted harm on unspecified individuals,

and even committed murder to cover up that fact.

Despite his grave crime,

the defendant is not showing any signs of regret...

and denying all allegations.

Hence, I sentence him as follows.

Sentence.

The defendant, Moh Sung Kuk is sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Good job.

It's from Director Choi Min.

Keep it close to you.

Tell her I will.

Let's go.

Sung Kuk! Wait! Hey...

I will...

go visit you sometimes.

I'll send you some money...

and even send you snacks.

But I heard the jail food these days is pretty good.

It's not a bad idea to stay in there forever.

Sung Kuk, wait.

I prepared two, just in case.

Take care, Sung Kuk.

Sung Kuk.

Goodbye!

Take good care of him for me.

Were you satisfied with the sentence?

That trial is still a hot issue lately.

People will forget soon.

I'm glad they got furious, threw stones,

and blew off their steam due to this case.

Even so,

when they go home, they'll use TL's cellphones,

cool off using TL's air conditioners,

and go to sleep while watching TL's TVs.

Isn't it amusing?

20 years?

This will be over in two weeks.

Your work as a tool is over.

You should have known your place.

Take care of it without any trouble.

I'll hire this country's best law firm for you,

so it won't take too long.

Thank you.

I'll see you again when you get out.

Tae Young's attorney gave me these documents last time.

(Appointment of Custody)

(Name: Doh Joong Eun Name of Child: Choi Seo Rin)

He had already stamped all the papers.

(Family Relation Certificate, Marriage Certificate)

You can go. We'll never see each other again.

You're right. We will never have to see each other again.

Min.

Why did you help me...

find Seo Rin?

I'm busy. I'll leave first then.

(TL Seoul Medical Center)

Ms. Choi.

The chairman's blood circulation is not stable.

I recommend you stop trying...

to prolong his life.

No.

My dad will wake up.

Dad.

I've already made my choice.

We've never been wrong, right?

It's my little brother.

He fainted while he was at work.

Can this be accepted as an industrial accident?

- Do you want counseling? - Yes.

What type of work did he do?

He suffered a myocardial infarction,

and he's recovering in the hospital currently.

Did he faint suddenly while he was working?

He fainted in the morning as soon as he came to work.

Whether he fainted at home,

or while he was at work,

if it's a myocardial infarction due to overworking,

there's a high chance this could be an industrial accident.

Right. According to the guidelines,

let's prove whether it was due to overworking or not.

But he was obese and had high blood pressure.

His LDL level exceeded 200.

He's a heavy drinker too. He drank every day.

He didn't take any medicine?

I tried making him take his medicine,

but he was too busy at work and forgot to take it often.

I know what you're thinking.

"This is because he's fat, lazy,"

"doesn't even exercise,"

"and eats whatever he wants."

No, I wasn't thinking that.

Our country reacts so violently against obese people.

Anyway, it's true the patient's basic health condition...

puts him in an unfavorable position.

- How about his family history? - That's another important point.

His dad, two uncles,

and even his aunt all had myocardial infarctions.

If that's the case, we can consider familial hypercholesterolemia...

or other hereditary diseases.

So his company is claiming it's just a personal disease?

Yes.

Even if he had a basic illness and his work affected his condition,

it may be accepted as an occupational disease.

Let's visit the site.

This won't be easy.

When was it ever easy?

How could you be dressed like this when we're visiting a site?

Suppression of individuality is also a form of violence.

Okay, sir. You're so smart, aren't you?

The hours he spent at work are all computerized.

As long as we find those records,

it won't be difficult to prove...

a cardiovascular disease due to overworking.

I guess this place has a labor union. I'm glad.

- What? - If there's no labor union,

it's not easy to get our hands on a single piece of paper.

- It's so complicated. - I know.

Hello.

Let's go inside.

I heard he had some extra work that day besides his regular work.

Yes. From 2 to 4 in the afternoon,

three male employees moved some furniture.

What is this?

(Under Maintenance)

- Guys, hold on. - Come on.

Hurry, let's go.

(Choi Sung Yoon)

Of course, he was compensated for the extra work.

I told him to go to a sauna and come to our team dinner.

So Do Nam came to the team dinner and went home.

A co-worker found him on the floor the next morning.

Does your company follow the 52-hour workweek policy?

Yes. We've been following that policy since last year.

I know it's unfortunate,

but it isn't because he was overworked.

The air is so...

I'm sure you've already heard,

but Do Nam loved meat.

He always had at least five servings.

He gained about 10kg since he started working here.

I do feel bad for him. He was so young.

But if we just allow every case to be...

an industrial accident and take responsibility,

things will get too difficult for us.

Ms. Doh,

he never worked...

over 52 hours a week during the past 3 months.

- One moment. - Sure.

There you have it.

Gosh...

I told him to take care of himself.

(Instant Ramyeon)

What do we do?

All the conditions are leading to personal sickness.

We can't get this approved as an industrial accident.

Wait a minute.

The working hours data is fake.

How could that be?

The ID card records it automatically.

How could it be fake?

Did you see the shampoo?

Why would people...

who work 52 hours a week from 9 to 6...

have shower supplies, socks, and underwear in their desks?

I have them at our office...

We don't work 52 hours, either.

Let's watch them when they leave the office.

I'm sure they're doing something in secret.

Are you going back to the office?

Yes, I have a lot left to do.

You must be exhausted.

I'm going home now. Good luck.

"Chronic Strain Criteria".

Let's see...

"If the work hours within the past four weeks before the occurrence..."

"was more than an average of 64 hours per week..."

Gosh...

Why is it so complicated?

It should be considered overworking if they work overtime.

Hello?

I can't go home today, either. I have to work all night.

I don't know, just hang up!

Get to work, you guys.

They really are...

pulling all-nighters at cafes.

They reduced our working hours to 52 hours a week,

but we're getting the same 72 hours' worth of work.

They won't hire any more people, so what can we do?

It's pissing me off!

We're doing the same workload, but they won't pay overtime.

This is too much for us!

When do we get to go home?

- I just want to quit! - Should we do that?

- Gosh! - But we can't do that.

Sir, can't you do something about it?

I think this is total nonsense.

Don't spend any money today.

This is all on me. Here. Let's all make a toast.

If we're going to go along with this 52-hours-a-week crap,

let's do it properly.

- Do it properly! - Do it properly!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- I did some research, - Yes?

and the company just expects the employees...

to handle the system on their own.

They're only burdening the workers...

without giving any thought to how they will run it.

That's why they're all running away to cafes.

They pretend to go home...

and leave their ID cards with their colleagues.

How kind of cheating is this?

Let's take a look at the time.

It's 9:35 p.m.

What are we doing?

Right...

I should go see Seo Rin...

Wait a minute, Ms. Do.

Where do you think you're going?

We should be the ones to change, first.

It won't be a surprise if one of us collapses here.

It's an industrial accident, for sure.

I'm with you.

I'll try and talk to Ms. Gong.

I don't think...

Il Sun has ever worked 52 hours a week her whole life.

Doesn't she work about 520 hours?

I'm going to try and go with that system.

Where has she been all day, anyway?

Focus. Just a bit more. Put more strength into your hand.

Good job!

Should we go and walk one more round?

Ms. Gong.

I should have paid for my sins.

You got a four-month sentence and were there for a month.

You're only here at the hospital...

because you were too sick.

We've already discussed this,

so don't ever start it again, okay?

Let's go now.

I bet you just don't want to exercise.

Ms. Gong.

I think I just got a dream.

What is it?

I want to live for 25 more years.

Which means, I want to live until I'm 88.

When I become an old man,

I want to watch him get released from prison.

What do you think? Doesn't it sound good?

It sounds great.

So you have to exercise.

Okay.

(Global Inspection Agency That Leads Innovation)

You got that patient wrong.

It wasn't a myocardial infarction, it was myocardial ischemia.

Then why was he sent to the ICU? I heard he's still unconscious.

Maybe it's because he drinks too much,

but his liver didn't look too good and he wasn't fully conscious.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Huh, Kim Do Nam...

had myocardial ischemia, not a myocardial infarction.

"Myocardial ischemia"?

What does that mean?

Will they not allow it to be an industrial accident?

Well, that...

Myocardial ischemia isn't recognized as a serious illness,

so it's not included in the cardiovascular diseases...

that qualify as industrial accidents.

Is that so?

I guess there's nothing we can do.

It's his own fault,

even if he did overwork himself at work.

He smoked a lot, didn't take his medicine properly,

and ate so much meat, too.

He was so foolish.

I'm sure he just napped somewhere...

instead of working during those all-nighters.

He's not good at staying up at night.

Where?

I don't know.

Okay. Doctor Detective...

has her CPU on full operation.

He had troponin,

his CK-MB rose momentarily, but soon dropped,

and his heart wasn't damaged too much.

Mr. Huh, this is from heatstroke.

It is an industrial accident.

"Heatstroke"?

Well... I don't think it's heatstroke.

You said his liver enzyme level was over 200, right?

It can cause dizziness...

and temporary myocardial ischemia.

These are symptoms of heatstroke.

Okay, fine.

I admit that he was overworking.

But the myocardial thing...

Are you trying to say it was heatstroke...

so we will allow it to be an industrial accident?

You're not allowing it to be an industrial accident.

It is an industrial accident.

It can't be heatstroke!

What do you think this is, a desert?

He worked in the office! It's fully air-conditioned!

You need to work in the sun to get heatstroke.

You turn off the lights after six, don't you?

I'm sure the air conditioner gets turned off, as well.

Then wouldn't all the workers there suffer heatstroke?

Besides, is it possible that the core temperature rose that much?

It was at night, too.

No, you heard his sister. He wasn't good at staying up.

He must've slept somewhere. So where could it be?

Somewhere he could sleep without getting caught by his boss.

This is supposed to be a secret place for the staff.

But no one comes here. It's too hot.

What's this?

Why is it so hot? It's practically a sauna.

Why is it so hot in here?

It's hot because...

it's an enclosed area and the heat is added from the refrigerators.

Do Nam must have dozed off here.

That's why he had heatstroke.

If that happened because he slept there,

you can't blame the company!

Do Nam had to do heavy lifting for two hours earlier that day.

The elevator was out of order, so he had to use the stairs.

That's why his body had overheated.

But he was dragged to the sauna,

and his core temperature rose even more.

Bottoms up!

He was forced to attend the company dinner...

even when he was tired.

When you drink alcohol,

there's a higher chance you can get a heat disorder.

He went back to the office since he had to finish his work.

He had to work until late at a place that wasn't air-conditioned,

and he went to the storage room to take a short nap.

When he woke up after a short nap,

he felt dizzy...

and collapsed immediately.

Those are all the conditions...

that could cause heat disorders and heatstroke.

Harsh physical labor during the daytime, alcohol, sauna,

lack of sleep, overworking, and stress.

Do Nam is sick due to overworking and the working environment.

It is an industrial accident.

You're the best, Doctor Detective!

Ms. Doh, you're amazing.
