EPISODE 6
What's that?
What have you been watching?
It's nothing.
If it's nothing, then let me see it.
-It's really nothing.
-Really?
I was checking my ex-girlfriend's
social media account.
Why would you do that?
What if you click the like button
by mistake?
Fortunately, I didn't click it.
I managed to scroll down smoothly.
Did you have a girlfriend, Si-woo?
What?
No, it's not like that.
You must have loved her very much.
You are still hung up on her.
Seriously, it's not like that.
-Dr. Han.
-Yes.
Have you heard the story?
Yes. I mean, what story?
A few days ago,
there has been an issue with the website
of our main office because it was hacked.
I suspected it
since I couldn't access the website.
Who would have done that?
Seong-do might have done it.
He was so bored as he had nothing to do
these days.
I doubt it.
As I see it, it must be Seong-do.
He's little bit strange these days.
Hwan-seung Lee, 30 years old.
He's an office worker.
He was found dead in his office.
As you can see from the photos,
he died after drinking
excessive amounts of water.
What's the cause of death?
It's water poisoning.
Water poisoning?
Did you run clinical chemistry test
for the water?
Yes. It appears that the death
was caused by arrhythmia.
We couldn't find anything particular
in his medical history.
It is our first time taking charge
of water poisoning case.
There are so many diseases
that I don't know about.
Water...
What is that?
Literally, you are poisoned
by drinking water.
Drinking too much water
leads to an imbalance
between intake and excretion.
Our victim's case can be categorized
as an acute case.
Symptoms include anxiety, vomiting,
diarrhea, cramps and coma.
In severe cases, you can die from it.
If he drank that much water,
it means that he had been very thirsty.
Right. He must have been.
In case of this body,
we need to find the cause
of water poisoning
rather than the cause
or mechanism of the death.
-Si-woo.
-Yes.
What are the common causes
of water poisoning?
Chronic nephritis, excessive drinking
after suffering encephalitis
-and diabetes insipidus.
-That's correct.
Looking at his cystic dilation,
it's more likely
that he had diabetes insipidus.
Let me tell you what diabetes insipidus is
in layman's terms.
The brain controls the amount of urine.
If there's a problem
in the control function,
it leads to impaired kidney function.
So the patient produces abnormally
large volume of urine
and experiences excessive thirst.
So it's not a homicide.
He held his urine, drank water, and died.
How insensitive.
It's a very dangerous disease.
Anyway, I don't think the police
has much to do about it.
We'll see.
Chances are he had diabetes insipidus,
as I expected.
Well,
seeing the result of osmotic pressure test
that just came out,
he surely had it.
Any trace of malfunction
in his lung or gastrointestinal tract?
As we've found in in the initial autopsy,
it doesn't appear to be closely related
to the direct cause of death.
Dr. Han, do you have a different opinion?
No, I don't.
Then are we concluding the cause of death
and it's factors?
I guess so.
He had water poisoning due to
diabetes insipidus and died from shock.
This case was quickly closed
ever since your office joined us.
-Shin-woo.
-Yes.
What about his brain biopsy?
They didn't run it
as the initial cause of death was clear.
Then let them run the brain biopsy.
All right.
Why?
Well,
it's very hard to drink
that much water at the scene
even though he was very thirsty.
In other words,
you mean he couldn't drink
that much water if he was sane.
Right.
So I'd like to find out
whether he had issues in his brain
or mentally, just in case.
Chief.
What is it?
The dead man's mother came to see you.
Yesterday,
the lawyer in Hwan-seung's company
came and gave it to me.
It says his death is not from overwork
or work-related fatality,
so she should not take any legal action.
They'll pay two million won to compensate.
What?
What's the matter with them?
The family hasn't even prepared
a mortuary yet.
You haven't signed it yet, have you?
I haven't.
I was going to just sign it
as I was confused.
But it appeared strange.
What if he died unjustly?
I don't know much.
I'm a countrywoman
who only knows how to farm.
So I asked people
and came to see you shamelessly.
Madam, you made the right decision
to come here.
Is my son dead
due to an unjust reason?
Did he just die drinking water like that?
Excuse me, madam.
Did your son
ever tell you that he's sick?
No.
He didn't tell me that.
He just said he was good and healthy.
He said I didn't need to worry about him.
Madam, I know how hard it must be for you,
but please try to remember how he was.
Was he not sick at all?
Come to think of it, I remember this.
I noticed it when I came
to Seoul last month.
Gosh, what's wrong with my eyes?
He appeared to have pain in the eyes
and he massaged his eyes.
He also kept massaging his toes.
I thought he was just tired.
His eyes and toes?
Right.
What about other parts of his body?
I don't remember.
I don't
need any money.
I believe he would like me
to look into his death.
I think that's the only thing
I can do for him
now that he's dead.
CEO DONG-SIK WOO
I'm sorry.
Did you name Woodong Corporation
after yourself?
That's correct.
I guess your company makes udon noodles.
I personally love Nagasaki udon.
You're wrong.
We produce and export office supplies.
You export office supplies.
You must be making a lot of money.
It's not much,
but the net profit last year
was over 15 billion won.
It's not much, but 15 billion won.
That's why you paid two million won
to the dead man's mother.
That's a lot of money.
I think you've misunderstood.
We did it according to the procedure.
It's the procedure.
Do you call it a procedure to shove
a memorandum to the mother
of your employee who died just a day ago?
I have never heard of such a procedure.
First, we need to conduct
additional investigation.
I need you to cooperate.
I guess someone incited her.
Who's the one that instigated
Hwan-seung's mother?
Is she going to file a lawsuit against me?
Who on earth...
It's me. Understand?
I instigated her. So what?
Was there anything strange
or special about him?
He looked completely all right as I see.
Suddenly, such a thing happened.
What was his duty here?
He controlled inventory, products on-line
and distributors abroad.
Goodness.
How could he do so many things by himself?
The duties belong
to different departments.
He only worked at the office,
without any outside duty.
We didn't ask him to work
until it hurts his body and mind.
Are you a doctor?
How can you judge if it hurts him or not
when you're not a doctor?
Come on.
Don't presume
that we overwork our employees.
By the way, here in this office,
there are so many surveillance cameras.
We installed them for security reasons.
Security reasons.
Are you making an Optimus Prime or what?
Our product designs are unique.
We need to prevent them from being leaked.
I guess so.
Why doesn't she go to Korea Workers'
Compensation and Welfare Services
and ask for help?
Then she needs to hire a lawyer first.
The dead man's mother can't afford it.
That's why we should help her.
That's why there is
a court-appointed lawyer.
We don't really have to catch a suspect.
Do we investigate
only when there's a suspect?
We have a cause of death.
She said he had died drinking water
in the autopsy room.
I see. However,
it's not only a human that can kill a man.
A disease and an environment
can also kill a man.
Finding out correlation
between them is my job.
Detective Nam,
you're in charge of my office.
Goodness, it's driving me crazy.
I get out of breath when I work.
What if something happens to me?
Would it be considered
as a work-related fatality?
No, your condition is caused
by overeating.
-Overeating.
-You should eat less.
You'd better eat only one burger
a week, all right?
You surprised me.
Sit down.
It's highly possible that he had
a heavy workload.
It's hard to prove that it was
a work-related death with what we have.
It's harder to prove
especially for general workers.
Then we need to identify
the exact cause of his death.
You are sure you can do that, right?
Come on! Don't you know who I am?
It's been a long time
since I reminded you how awesome I am.
I'm the most gifted neurosurgeon...
Detective Kang!
Jae-joon!
What are you doing here?
I dropped by for another case,
and came down to see you.
I need to tell you something.
-Dr. Han.
-Yes.
This is the friend
I told you about before.
He's Jae-joon Lee, a prosecutor.
I see.
You're the prosecutor who came
at such a late hour.
This is Dr. Jin-woo Han.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm Jae-joon Lee.
Where have you heard about me?
Well, it's nice to see you.
I'm Jin-woo Han.
All right.
You need to talk, right?
Right.
You should have called me before you came.
You just walk in all the time.
I'm sorry.
She hooked her arm into his
the minute they met.
It took a year to do so with me.
Have you seen the materials I gave you?
Yes, I have.
It was an anonymous letter
written by a disabled person.
He wrote that they were recruited
for illegal waste disposal
and some of them died
since they got a rare disease.
However, he doesn't know
who the business owner is,
and that's why he wrote the letter.
By the way, why is it confidential?
Just keep it as a secret to yourself.
Can you return the document I gave you?
The case has been settled.
So do not mind it anymore.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry to bother you. You must be busy.
You didn't photocopy it, did you?
You shouldn't keep any of it.
You understand me, right?
Yes, Jae-joon.
Goodness. It's like a pharmacy.
Let's see.
Medicines for headache, motion sickness,
and indigestion.
This is an ointment for muscle pain.
This is an eye drop
for intraocular pressure.
Intraocular pressure?
His mother said he had eye problems.
You look upset. Is everything all right?
Everything's fine.
I checked the kitchen
and the refrigerator,
and it looks like he didn't cook at home.
I guess he didn't cook anything.
I think we see the case
form a different point of view.
Why do I have to go to the scene?
I'm a doctor.
You should go.
Have a seat.
For a body with a rare disease,
it's difficult to find the cause of death
just from the body itself.
You can find the answer
from family history or lifestyle.
You can find a clue in the space
where he or she ate, slept and breathed.
Someone who can unearth such things
is not a detective,
but a doctor like us.
A very long time ago,
Dr. Jang told me this.
As he had said, I'd like to find
the answer with a different method,
immersing myself into the case.
How are you going to approach it?
Starting tomorrow,
I'll be the office worker, Hwan-seung Lee,
and experience everything
he had experienced for several days.
I'll do so in the same environment
he was in.
Are you really going to work
at that company then?
Yes.
Chief, please ask the prosecutor in charge
for cooperation
so that I can work at the company
as an employee.
It wouldn't be difficult
to get a permission,
but are you really going to do it?
I'll give it a try.
Jin-woo Han becomes an office worker!
Are you really going to sleep here?
I came here to sleep, not to camp out.
Why are you speaking like that
from this afternoon?
Are you upset with me?
You should have noticed it.
How can you not notice it as a detective?
Are you doing this because of Jae-joon?
Who is he?
You mean that man whose arm
you hooked your arm into
as soon as you saw him. I get it.
Goodness. Did it upset to that much?
What?
Why are you suddenly speaking that way?
You're so petty.
"Gosh, Jae-joon. What are you doing here?"
You went like this.
You hooked your arm into his first.
Did it make you jealous?
Don't do this. Let me go.
Am I dating or raising a child?
What did you say?
Don't pop your cork.
Why are you kissing me?
Well,
do it here too.
By the way, is this the only pajamas
you brought?
Yes, it is.
I don't like it.
Goodness.
You spoiled the mood.
Just go. It doesn't matter
what I wear. Go.
Why do you say such things so seriously?
You're such a killjoy.
"YOU'RE TRANSFERING."
"I AM EXHAUSTED. I AM."
How are you?
Who are you?
I'm a corporate lawyer
in Woodong Corporation.
You're the one who baited
Hwan-seung Lee's mother.
How can you say "baited"?
What are you going to do?
She's not taking the bait.
You must be feeling helpless.
I'm not feeling helpless.
All right.
We're going to cooperate according to
the order from the prosecutor in charge.
You should understand that this is a clear
obstruction of business, though.
Sure, I'll keep that in mind.
There have been seven reports
of Woodong Corporation's
unfair labor practice.
UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE REMEDY APPLICATION
There has been at least one report a year.
It appears that they settle it internally
and solve the problem.
We haven't requested
any final corrective action.
There's a subject
of human rights violation.
It says, "surveillance and restriction
of workers."
When workers report these things to you,
how do you resolve it?
We only receive the report.
Each individual should take legal action
for a direct settlement.
There's a limit for our intervention.
Can they win if they file a lawsuit?
I don't have anything to say to you.
The workers are the weak.
It's usually hard for them
to win the case,
unless there's a whistle-blower.
I have nothing to do.
What should I do?
What's wrong with this screen?
It's hurting my eyes.
That son of a bitch.
Don't you feel hot?
You look hot. You're too close to her.
Excuse me,
I'd like to have my monitor changed.
It's hurting my eyes too much.
Just use it.
How do you keep looking at it?
The employees look at the screen
all day long.
You talk too much.
Just stay quiet while you're here.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Come on, don't talk to me like that here.
I feel uncomfortable.
Take a look at the screen
and then talk to me.
That thing is hurting my eyes
that my optic nerve
might get serious issues...
Excuse me. I'm talking to you...
Goodness.
It's musty...
Excuse me, why is it so musty here?
Don't you use the ventilator here?
You're living in Seoul, you know.
It's not because it's Seoul.
I feel like I'm in a coal mine.
I'm fine with this.
You don't look like you're fine.
I almost forgot. About Hwan-seung Lee.
Was his health...
I have no idea.
Don't talk to me. I'm working now.
All right.
Goodness, you surprised me.
All right.
She's monitoring me again.
She keeps monitoring me.
Goodness, my heart is throbbing.
OUR GOAL IS ACTION AND ACTION IS SALES.
WOODONG CORPORATION
-What is it?
-Well,
I organized the duties
Hwan-seung Lee didn't finish.
You did that?
How could you do all these things?
Well, about the inventory control,
I just input the data as I have a format.
I translate emails from related
departments to manage distributors abroad,
send the emails to each country
and receive their replies.
Among other things.
You look so stunned.
Haven't you seen a genius before?
It's noon. Time for lunch.
Everyone, it's lunch time!
Hello, you need to eat.
Your brain consumes
one-fourth of what you eat.
So the office workers like you should...
All right!
Let's have lunch.
Let's have lunch. It's good.
It's great.
Can you call this a lunch?
I feel like I became a refugee in Kosovo.
It's like a meal for a Buddhist monk.
I feel like I'm in a Buddhist temple.
I like it. I feel tranquil.
The average lunch time is seven minutes.
How can they finish in seven minutes?
Excuse me.
I see that every employee has lunch here
at your company.
Not one employee eats out.
It cost a lot to make this staff cafeteria
for employees' welfare.
It's not free, isn't it?
What if you want to eat something else,
for example,
stir-fried pork or pork and rice soup...
Then you can eat something else!
You're finding fault with minor things.
It's a minor thing.
It's not a minor thing.
I can't eat only greens.
I'm going to eat a hamburger.
-Here I go.
-You must be out of your mind.
-Goodness.
-What's wrong?
Put it away now.
It wouldn't smell that bad. Don't worry.
-It's not like that.
-It's all right. Why worry?
You're never allowed to bring food
inside the office.
Why?
You can only eat on the appointed time.
That's the rule here.
That doesn't make a sense.
I can eat when I want to. It takes
less than five minutes to eat this.
What are you doing?
You are causing trouble for others.
She threw it away.
She dumped my precious burger
into the trash can.
The file is leaked from the website.
Where is it?
The medical examiner's office
in Hankook University.
I'll call you right away
once I find out who it is.
What about the prosecutor, Jae-joon Lee
and the detective, Kyung-hee Kang?
We'll take care of them later.
VIP hasn't decided yet.
I understand.
APRIL 8, 2011
GWANJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
WASTE DISPOSAL IN YANGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
FIRE IN WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY
You didn't photocopy it, did you?
You shouldn't keep any of it.
We shouldn't waste more time
on Hwan-seung Lee Case.
I went to the Workers' Compensation
and Welfare Services.
They say it's hard to win the case
even with evidence.
They say an individual employee
rarely wins the lawsuit against a company.
We shouldn't close the case
just because the possibility is low.
It's different this time.
Strictly speaking,
this is a personal matter.
The death itself may be personal.
However, we should find out the truth
behind it.
That's enough
Make sure you tell Dr. Han
that we'll close the case in two days.
I can't do that.
Do what I say, please.
I know about justice and principles too.
No.
I don't think you know
about justice and principles.
Maybe you just want to turn a blind eye
to them.
Goodness, my burger.
How could she dump it into a trash can?
It was my lunch.
You chat too much on social media.
I'm sorry.
"Askhole was going crazy again today."
Askhole refers to me, right?
ASKHOLE: SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS DEMANDS
OTHERS TO ANSWER IN A WAY HE OR SHE WANTS
-That's not true.
-You're lying.
Based on the context, it's obvious
that you were referring to me.
Does she have to read between the lines?
Anyone can tell it's about her.
Wait a minute.
Why does she peek
at an employee's social media account?
Restroom or office pantry
The department head
who parted his hair in the middle
went to the restroom six times.
Also,
for the first time in four hours...
Goodness, my bladder is about to burst.
I have to run.
It's six o'clock.
It's six o'clock. Let's go...
All right.
Let's get off.
-Let's get off.
-You can go.
Goodness, she surprised me.
Why does she keep giving me that look?
She startled me.
Han-sook!
Han-sook! Excuse me.
How about a cup of coffee?
With me?
Right. Just a cup of coffee.
All right.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Goodness.
I've already asked other people,
but they didn't give me any answers
about Hwan-seung Lee.
What was Hwan-seung Lee like?
He was a nice man.
He was diligent and quiet.
Did he seem sick
or uncomfortable in any way?
No, he didn't.
I see.
By the way, why do we have to feel
so uncomfortable in the office?
They intervene and control
the employees at everything.
That's how a company is.
Not every company is like that.
Then,
why do they peek at
the employees' social media accounts?
In addition,
you always work overtime at night, right?
How can you work for 12 hours every day?
Look at your face.
You have such a pretty face.
You don't have time to get a facial.
If you sleep little more
and get some facial done,
you can be like Scarlett Johansson.
What's wrong? Do you feel all right?
It's nothing.
I think I've had enough of your story.
Please, excuse me.
Han-sook...
I feel tired.
It's her. She's here!
It's delicious.
This is life.
These days, I don't have any pleasure
in my life anymore.
Even a prison must be better
than that place.
-Take a look at this.
-All right.
These are from the surveillance cameras
in the office.
The cameras don't appear to be
only for safety reasons.
They are keeping watch on employees.
The angle of the cameras
are very accurate.
Right.
They even have cameras in the office
pantry and in front of the restroom.
Right. I saw those cameras.
How can you relieve yourself
in such an environment?
I discovered that they installed a program
on every employee's computer
so they can censor personal messages
and the working hours.
They must be checking on how each employee
moves in and out.
All those things
are controlled by the woman called
Ms. Ko, right?
Right. She's the one who controls it.
Goodness, she wears her make-up
like that of a calendar model
in the 1970s.
It's out of style.
First of all,
if they controlled visits to the restroom,
that must have been very fatal
to Hwan-seung Lee.
The company can insist
that it was a personal circumstance,
if the access control to the restroom
didn't damage other employees.
We need something more crucial
than that one.
He must be exhausted.
Goodness.
Han-sook.
Thank you.
Your make-up looks...
I watched the movie Avengers ,
and imitated the actress' make-up.
Avengers...
Scarlett Johansson.
It's Scarlett Johansson. I get it.
You made me feel little bit better.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right.
Miss Shim, is this all you can do?
You're old enough to do this right?
Would this work if you do it this way?
Now that you didn't do this right,
everything went wrong.
It's ridiculous.
Goodness, she's driving me crazy.
Hang in there.
Here's the brain biopsy results
of Hwan-seung Lee.
A pituitary stalk of 0.23 cm
was found in his brain tissue.
What?
Dr. Han guessed it right.
He must have had a problem
with his brain function because of that.
By the way, is the cause of death
related to this
from a neurosurgical view?
It's not directly related,
but it could cause mental problems.
It can explain Hwan-seung Lee's
intraocular pressure.
Then,
the pain in the bones of the lower limb...
Tell Dr. Han the biopsy results now.
I will.
It's 0.23 cm?
I'm sorry.
Run a test again to see
whether there's infiltration
in the mononuclear cells.
I see, Dr. Han. Anything else?
Also,
check if it's shaped
as a formed cytoplasm.
I'll do so right away.
I don't think you know
about justice and principles.
No, you don't want to know about that.
Hello, I'm Detective Kyung-hee Kang
at special investigation department.
I'd like to ask you something.
Sure, go ahead.
Has there been a case in Yangju recently
which was related
to illegal waste disposal?
There were cases related
to industrial sewage,
but they were minor ones.
There was not a particular case.
Was there any case that caused a death?
It never happened.
The cases just required
a corrective order.
I see.
I'll send you a picture of a factory
located in Yangju.
Please contact me if you have an idea
about its rough location.
I will.
WOODONG CORPORATION IDEA SKETCH
About the draft of our new product...
Well, I liked it. It wasn't bad.
The angle and pointing was good.
What do you think?
All right! I do have an eye for it,
we'll proceed with it.
It looks really bad to me.
We need to think about it reasonably.
This ballpoint pen looks like a gimbap
with a pickled radish sticking out.
Who's going to pay 2,000 won for it?
Not another word, Jun-woo Han.
Excuse me, I'm Jin-woo Han,
not Jun-woo Han.
Well, you don't appear to remember my name
as I'm not a target for your monitoring.
Let's finish the meeting here.
We've planned
a get-together.
Do we have a get-together?
Where is it going to be?
What are we going to have?
Are we having sashimi or barbecue?
All right. Let's proceed.
What are you proceeding to?
Great. It's so good.
What's going on?
How do you feel, everyone?
You've been inside the office all day.
You need to see the sunlight.
This is a vitamin D supplement.
What else can you call a supplement?
Dr. Han, we're getting vitamin D, right?
Excuse me, what's important here
is not the vitamin D.
Overexposure to the ultraviolet rays
is more fatal.
What's he doing?
I find this the most delicious.
Chicken doesn't taste good.
It has an extract in it.
Have a sip, everyone.
Help yourself. Go ahead.
Hey, Jeong-hoon.
Taste it.
Drink it. Drink up.
-It's refreshing.
-Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Come on. Stop pretending and drink up.
Have some more.
Drink up.
Yes, that's it. Great.
That's it. Good job.
It's refreshing.
It's refreshing. Taste it. Go ahead.
ILSUNG MANPOWER DISPATCH SERVICE
I'm back.
Goodness, Dr. Han.
You look terrible today.
How can you say that I look terrible?
You went there as an investigator,
and came back, looking weary.
She's right. What happened to your outfit?
You look like a door-to-door salesman.
What are you talking about?
I spent a lot of money on this.
Let's change the subject.
Do we have the test result?
Let's go.
Goodness, it's time to work.
As Dr. Han said, the detailed
brain biopsy result shows
infiltration in the mononuclear cells
shaped as a formed cytoplasm.
Dr. Han.
Yes, for our inventory control,
2B system works better.
What is he talking about?
Goodness.
Goodness, I'm sorry.
Let me see.
Then, you know,
have you conducted
immunostaining on CD68 and S100 protein?
Yes, it came out positive for CD68.
If it's positive for CD68...
Then I was right. It's ECD.
It's Erdheim-Chester disease.
You mean ECD?
ABNORMAL MULTIPLICATION
OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS
What is that?
I'm certain I've read about it
in a collection of theses.
There are less than 500 patients
suffering from it.
I'll explain. You should take notes.
The disease is called ECD.
This type of histiocytosis
is more extensive
and does not involve Langerhans cells.
It can result in a variety of symptoms
and due to this characteristic,
patients usually die
from multiple organ failure.
Sometimes, the symptoms
are hard to be diagnosed.
That's correct. Diabetes insipidus
is a complication of ECD.
The disease affects
the skeletal system, retroperitoneum,
eyeballs, lungs, pericardium, and stomach.
In short, almost all parts of the body.
Right. That's why there were
all those medicines
in Hwan-seung Lee's house.
Seeing that there was no medical record
on the disease,
he didn't know he had this disease.
However, how are we going to relate ECD
to work-related fatality?
If it's a rare disease that a patient
himself didn't know about,
it'd be harder to establish
the relationship.
Right. It's an exceptional case
if he was the only one
who wasn't well
when others were all right.
No, even though it's an exceptional case,
what if
all factors existing in the office
triggered the outbreak
and progress of ECD?
JIN-WOO HAN
Also,
what if other conditions
worked as pathogenic determinants?
Well, employees of Woodong Corporation
who are working hard!
You know what this is, right?
Yes, we'll conduct urine tests.
Everyone should get your urine
in this cup right now.
What are you doing now?
The prosecutor issued a warrant
for this test.
WARRANT
What are you doing?
Come here quickly. Come and take it.
Come and get your cup, one by one.
Come quickly. You don't need
to mind others.
Han-sook.
Hi.
Han-sook.
You must have had a hard day today.
Yes.
I can actually understand
why you and the other employees
were so troubled and afraid.
Right.
It's not easy to earn money.
It's also not easy to sacrifice today
for tomorrow
as Hwan-seung did.
Such hope
should not be misused by someone else.
Han-sook.
So,
please help me
so that I can teach a lesson
to those bad people who misuse it.
That
would be what Hwan-seung
might have wished for.
On what grounds did you issue the warrant?
What crime did my client commit?
I'll elaborate
what crime he committed.
Well, let's sum up.
Detective Kang, go ahead.
You kept an eye on the employees
with surveillance cameras.
Not only the office,
but the office pantry
and in front of the restroom.
You intended to shorten the off-hour,
right?
According to our investigation,
during the 12 hours,
the junior staffs go to the restroom
only three to four times on average.
That can completely drive one crazy.
On the other hand, the executives went
to the restroom over ten times.
How does this matter
when they don't have any health problems?
You can't say that
if you know what this is.
This is
the urine test results of your employees.
In general, the osmotic pressure
in their urine was very low.
That's enough to be
a pathogenic determinant.
That means all your employees
are potential patients of cystitis
and pyelitis.
Also,
all the employees'
pulmonary functions are bad.
You'll know that by just listening
to them coughing.
You're cheap.
You installed an air purifier
only in your office.
You're shrewd.
What did you say?
You should stop saying that.
Now let's talk about Hwan-seung Lee.
The fundamental reason Hwan-seung died
is because Erdheim-Chester disease.
It's kind of a brain disease,
a brain tumor in a way.
The cause of the disease is so varied.
It's a histiocytosis.
Histiocytes proliferates
and causes problems
in the skin, nervous system,
lymphatic system,
eyeballs, and even respiratory system.
Can you make it easier to understand?
This is as easy as it gets.
Can't you understand when you listen?
Do you think I'm a doctor or what?
Yes, I bet you you're not one.
Anyway, your company's office
is full of pathogenic determinants.
First, they are overworked and stressed.
I shall let them go as they are
the cause of every disease.
There was a case in Japan.
Children watching an animation
fell into a fit collectively.
The flash of flickering screen
caused a photosensitive seizure.
This seizure is a symptom that breaks out
when you're repeatedly exposed
to irritating lights.
When you're repeatedly exposed
to such a screen
and the photosensitive symptoms continue,
it can cause a brain tumor,
according to research.
The research shows it very clearly.
We discovered
that he used a broken monitor
for over a year.
As a doctor, I can deduce
that as the pathogenic determinant
of ECD.
Other determinants are
pulmonary dysfunction
caused by poor air quality,
frequent starvation
and aggravated gastrointestinal disorder
caused by extremely short lunchtime
which averages around seven minutes.
Also,
your inhuman surveillance
caused dehydration and aggravated
diabetes insipidus.
Because of many unfavorable conditions,
his body was under huge stress.
What was crucial was,
diabetes insipidus worked as a catalyst
and Hwan-seung died.
All these occurrences
are not a coincidence.
You caused them all.
You neglected those conditions,
and it caused a disease in Hwan-seung Lee.
As the disease aggravated,
he was driven to death.
I did my best for the welfare
of my employees.
I offered everything they needed
according to their requests.
Are you sure? Really?
With your hand on your heart?
All you did while you were working
in the office
was to artificially piece
these things together?
I didn't piece things together for this.
Let her come inside.
-Come in.
-This way.
Feel free to say what you want to.
The executives prohibited purchasing
every office supply.
They knew the ventilation was out of order
but neglected it.
They didn't replace the monitors.
They forced us to eat lunch
at the cafeteria.
They didn't listen to our suggestions.
It's all bullshit.
Bullshit. That's good.
I really like that expression.
The executives
took it easy and ignored us.
I knew they were watching us,
but I couldn't say anything.
I would have been fired
if I were to complain.
Who do you think you are?
Did you know that the best way
to discover work-related fatality
is through a whistle-blower?
Based on her testimony and medical proofs,
we'll formally apply
for work-related fatality.
Do whatever you want to do.
It will never turn out as you wish.
You can hang on as much as you want.
It will turn out as we wish.
Well.
At first,
I thought you considered
all the employees as robots.
However, after a while,
I found that you are the robot.
You don't have empathy
and emotions at all.
You're such a robot.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
You're welcome.
The real battle starts now.
You should gather your courage.
I will.
Madam,
your son
was really an honest and diligent man.
You can be proud of him.
I will.
By the way,
I heard I need a lawyer.
I will arrange it for you.
Here you go.
My friend is a lawyer.
If you visit him,
he'll help you as if it's his own matter.
He does everything I tell him to do.
Thank you.
You must have had a hard time
being a company staff.
I guess I was still a doctor there,
not an office worker.
That place was not a workplace.
It was a cancer ward.
Everything there was a carcinogen.
At the very least,
a man or an organization
should not make people suffer.
Doctors can't prevent someone
from becoming a toxic person.
Frankly speaking, it depends
on those with power.
Whether you become a toxic person
or the one who mends others' broken hearts
depends solely on those with power.
Detective Kang.
You are so eloquent.
Are you getting a speech lesson
these days?
Didn't you know
that I'm quite intelligent?
I didn't know that.
Remember it from now on.
I didn't know that.
Wait for me.
SECTION CHIEF
HWAN-SEUNG LEE
Everyone, let's go to the restroom!
Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times
had a happy ending,
but Hwan-seung Lee's story
ended with a sad ending.
However, he left with a smile.
What could be the reason?
He might have had a dream
at the last moment.
Not a dream about abundance
in a distant future,
but about the greatest happiness
he could feel at the moment.
That was the only thing
an ordinary worker could have dreamed of.
That was the only thing.
Da-mi!
Mister!
Mister...
Da-mi.
Da-mi!
Da-mi! What's wrong?
Da-mi!
Doctor!
Da-mi, are you all right?
Get ready right now!
Da-mi!
A second-year student in a high school
located in Gyeonggi-do.
They said the cast which wrapped Lee
shed bloody tears.
It might be a supernatural phenomenon.
A statue of Maria or Jesus
shed tears of blood sometimes.
The suspect hits it accidentally.
A boy in the art club committed suicide.
I didn't like the way he looked at me.
He was all right before.
Why is he limping all of a sudden?
Dr. Han, what happened to your hand?
How could I just stay still as a man?
I finished it with a blast.
Will you be all right by yourself?
You know how good I am.
Be careful. If you get hurt, I will...
See you.

EPISODE 6
What's that?
What have you been watching?
It's nothing.
If it's nothing, then let me see it.
-It's really nothing.
-Really?
I was checking my ex-girlfriend's
social media account.
Why would you do that?
What if you click the like button
by mistake?
Fortunately, I didn't click it.
I managed to scroll down smoothly.
Did you have a girlfriend, Si-woo?
What?
No, it's not like that.
You must have loved her very much.
You are still hung up on her.
Seriously, it's not like that.
-Dr. Han.
-Yes.
Have you heard the story?
Yes. I mean, what story?
A few days ago,
there has been an issue with the website
of our main office because it was hacked.
I suspected it
since I couldn't access the website.
Who would have done that?
Seong-do might have done it.
He was so bored as he had nothing to do
these days.
I doubt it.
As I see it, it must be Seong-do.
He's little bit strange these days.
Hwan-seung Lee, 30 years old.
He's an office worker.
He was found dead in his office.
As you can see from the photos,
he died after drinking
excessive amounts of water.
What's the cause of death?
It's water poisoning.
Water poisoning?
Did you run clinical chemistry test
for the water?
Yes. It appears that the death
was caused by arrhythmia.
We couldn't find anything particular
in his medical history.
It is our first time taking charge
of water poisoning case.
There are so many diseases
that I don't know about.
Water...
What is that?
Literally, you are poisoned
by drinking water.
Drinking too much water
leads to an imbalance
between intake and excretion.
Our victim's case can be categorized
as an acute case.
Symptoms include anxiety, vomiting,
diarrhea, cramps and coma.
In severe cases, you can die from it.
If he drank that much water,
it means that he had been very thirsty.
Right. He must have been.
In case of this body,
we need to find the cause
of water poisoning
rather than the cause
or mechanism of the death.
-Si-woo.
-Yes.
What are the common causes
of water poisoning?
Chronic nephritis, excessive drinking
after suffering encephalitis
-and diabetes insipidus.
-That's correct.
Looking at his cystic dilation,
it's more likely
that he had diabetes insipidus.
Let me tell you what diabetes insipidus is
in layman's terms.
The brain controls the amount of urine.
If there's a problem
in the control function,
it leads to impaired kidney function.
So the patient produces abnormally
large volume of urine
and experiences excessive thirst.
So it's not a homicide.
He held his urine, drank water, and died.
How insensitive.
It's a very dangerous disease.
Anyway, I don't think the police
has much to do about it.
We'll see.
Chances are he had diabetes insipidus,
as I expected.
Well,
seeing the result of osmotic pressure test
that just came out,
he surely had it.
Any trace of malfunction
in his lung or gastrointestinal tract?
As we've found in in the initial autopsy,
it doesn't appear to be closely related
to the direct cause of death.
Dr. Han, do you have a different opinion?
No, I don't.
Then are we concluding the cause of death
and it's factors?
I guess so.
He had water poisoning due to
diabetes insipidus and died from shock.
This case was quickly closed
ever since your office joined us.
-Shin-woo.
-Yes.
What about his brain biopsy?
They didn't run it
as the initial cause of death was clear.
Then let them run the brain biopsy.
All right.
Why?
Well,
it's very hard to drink
that much water at the scene
even though he was very thirsty.
In other words,
you mean he couldn't drink
that much water if he was sane.
Right.
So I'd like to find out
whether he had issues in his brain
or mentally, just in case.
Chief.
What is it?
The dead man's mother came to see you.
Yesterday,
the lawyer in Hwan-seung's company
came and gave it to me.
It says his death is not from overwork
or work-related fatality,
so she should not take any legal action.
They'll pay two million won to compensate.
What?
What's the matter with them?
The family hasn't even prepared
a mortuary yet.
You haven't signed it yet, have you?
I haven't.
I was going to just sign it
as I was confused.
But it appeared strange.
What if he died unjustly?
I don't know much.
I'm a countrywoman
who only knows how to farm.
So I asked people
and came to see you shamelessly.
Madam, you made the right decision
to come here.
Is my son dead
due to an unjust reason?
Did he just die drinking water like that?
Excuse me, madam.
Did your son
ever tell you that he's sick?
No.
He didn't tell me that.
He just said he was good and healthy.
He said I didn't need to worry about him.
Madam, I know how hard it must be for you,
but please try to remember how he was.
Was he not sick at all?
Come to think of it, I remember this.
I noticed it when I came
to Seoul last month.
Gosh, what's wrong with my eyes?
He appeared to have pain in the eyes
and he massaged his eyes.
He also kept massaging his toes.
I thought he was just tired.
His eyes and toes?
Right.
What about other parts of his body?
I don't remember.
I don't
need any money.
I believe he would like me
to look into his death.
I think that's the only thing
I can do for him
now that he's dead.
CEO DONG-SIK WOO
I'm sorry.
Did you name Woodong Corporation
after yourself?
That's correct.
I guess your company makes udon noodles.
I personally love Nagasaki udon.
You're wrong.
We produce and export office supplies.
You export office supplies.
You must be making a lot of money.
It's not much,
but the net profit last year
was over 15 billion won.
It's not much, but 15 billion won.
That's why you paid two million won
to the dead man's mother.
That's a lot of money.
I think you've misunderstood.
We did it according to the procedure.
It's the procedure.
Do you call it a procedure to shove
a memorandum to the mother
of your employee who died just a day ago?
I have never heard of such a procedure.
First, we need to conduct
additional investigation.
I need you to cooperate.
I guess someone incited her.
Who's the one that instigated
Hwan-seung's mother?
Is she going to file a lawsuit against me?
Who on earth...
It's me. Understand?
I instigated her. So what?
Was there anything strange
or special about him?
He looked completely all right as I see.
Suddenly, such a thing happened.
What was his duty here?
He controlled inventory, products on-line
and distributors abroad.
Goodness.
How could he do so many things by himself?
The duties belong
to different departments.
He only worked at the office,
without any outside duty.
We didn't ask him to work
until it hurts his body and mind.
Are you a doctor?
How can you judge if it hurts him or not
when you're not a doctor?
Come on.
Don't presume
that we overwork our employees.
By the way, here in this office,
there are so many surveillance cameras.
We installed them for security reasons.
Security reasons.
Are you making an Optimus Prime or what?
Our product designs are unique.
We need to prevent them from being leaked.
I guess so.
Why doesn't she go to Korea Workers'
Compensation and Welfare Services
and ask for help?
Then she needs to hire a lawyer first.
The dead man's mother can't afford it.
That's why we should help her.
That's why there is
a court-appointed lawyer.
We don't really have to catch a suspect.
Do we investigate
only when there's a suspect?
We have a cause of death.
She said he had died drinking water
in the autopsy room.
I see. However,
it's not only a human that can kill a man.
A disease and an environment
can also kill a man.
Finding out correlation
between them is my job.
Detective Nam,
you're in charge of my office.
Goodness, it's driving me crazy.
I get out of breath when I work.
What if something happens to me?
Would it be considered
as a work-related fatality?
No, your condition is caused
by overeating.
-Overeating.
-You should eat less.
You'd better eat only one burger
a week, all right?
You surprised me.
Sit down.
It's highly possible that he had
a heavy workload.
It's hard to prove that it was
a work-related death with what we have.
It's harder to prove
especially for general workers.
Then we need to identify
the exact cause of his death.
You are sure you can do that, right?
Come on! Don't you know who I am?
It's been a long time
since I reminded you how awesome I am.
I'm the most gifted neurosurgeon...
Detective Kang!
Jae-joon!
What are you doing here?
I dropped by for another case,
and came down to see you.
I need to tell you something.
-Dr. Han.
-Yes.
This is the friend
I told you about before.
He's Jae-joon Lee, a prosecutor.
I see.
You're the prosecutor who came
at such a late hour.
This is Dr. Jin-woo Han.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm Jae-joon Lee.
Where have you heard about me?
Well, it's nice to see you.
I'm Jin-woo Han.
All right.
You need to talk, right?
Right.
You should have called me before you came.
You just walk in all the time.
I'm sorry.
She hooked her arm into his
the minute they met.
It took a year to do so with me.
Have you seen the materials I gave you?
Yes, I have.
It was an anonymous letter
written by a disabled person.
He wrote that they were recruited
for illegal waste disposal
and some of them died
since they got a rare disease.
However, he doesn't know
who the business owner is,
and that's why he wrote the letter.
By the way, why is it confidential?
Just keep it as a secret to yourself.
Can you return the document I gave you?
The case has been settled.
So do not mind it anymore.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry to bother you. You must be busy.
You didn't photocopy it, did you?
You shouldn't keep any of it.
You understand me, right?
Yes, Jae-joon.
Goodness. It's like a pharmacy.
Let's see.
Medicines for headache, motion sickness,
and indigestion.
This is an ointment for muscle pain.
This is an eye drop
for intraocular pressure.
Intraocular pressure?
His mother said he had eye problems.
You look upset. Is everything all right?
Everything's fine.
I checked the kitchen
and the refrigerator,
and it looks like he didn't cook at home.
I guess he didn't cook anything.
I think we see the case
form a different point of view.
Why do I have to go to the scene?
I'm a doctor.
You should go.
Have a seat.
For a body with a rare disease,
it's difficult to find the cause of death
just from the body itself.
You can find the answer
from family history or lifestyle.
You can find a clue in the space
where he or she ate, slept and breathed.
Someone who can unearth such things
is not a detective,
but a doctor like us.
A very long time ago,
Dr. Jang told me this.
As he had said, I'd like to find
the answer with a different method,
immersing myself into the case.
How are you going to approach it?
Starting tomorrow,
I'll be the office worker, Hwan-seung Lee,
and experience everything
he had experienced for several days.
I'll do so in the same environment
he was in.
Are you really going to work
at that company then?
Yes.
Chief, please ask the prosecutor in charge
for cooperation
so that I can work at the company
as an employee.
It wouldn't be difficult
to get a permission,
but are you really going to do it?
I'll give it a try.
Jin-woo Han becomes an office worker!
Are you really going to sleep here?
I came here to sleep, not to camp out.
Why are you speaking like that
from this afternoon?
Are you upset with me?
You should have noticed it.
How can you not notice it as a detective?
Are you doing this because of Jae-joon?
Who is he?
You mean that man whose arm
you hooked your arm into
as soon as you saw him. I get it.
Goodness. Did it upset to that much?
What?
Why are you suddenly speaking that way?
You're so petty.
"Gosh, Jae-joon. What are you doing here?"
You went like this.
You hooked your arm into his first.
Did it make you jealous?
Don't do this. Let me go.
Am I dating or raising a child?
What did you say?
Don't pop your cork.
Why are you kissing me?
Well,
do it here too.
By the way, is this the only pajamas
you brought?
Yes, it is.
I don't like it.
Goodness.
You spoiled the mood.
Just go. It doesn't matter
what I wear. Go.
Why do you say such things so seriously?
You're such a killjoy.
"YOU'RE TRANSFERING."
"I AM EXHAUSTED. I AM."
How are you?
Who are you?
I'm a corporate lawyer
in Woodong Corporation.
You're the one who baited
Hwan-seung Lee's mother.
How can you say "baited"?
What are you going to do?
She's not taking the bait.
You must be feeling helpless.
I'm not feeling helpless.
All right.
We're going to cooperate according to
the order from the prosecutor in charge.
You should understand that this is a clear
obstruction of business, though.
Sure, I'll keep that in mind.
There have been seven reports
of Woodong Corporation's
unfair labor practice.
UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE REMEDY APPLICATION
There has been at least one report a year.
It appears that they settle it internally
and solve the problem.
We haven't requested
any final corrective action.
There's a subject
of human rights violation.
It says, "surveillance and restriction
of workers."
When workers report these things to you,
how do you resolve it?
We only receive the report.
Each individual should take legal action
for a direct settlement.
There's a limit for our intervention.
Can they win if they file a lawsuit?
I don't have anything to say to you.
The workers are the weak.
It's usually hard for them
to win the case,
unless there's a whistle-blower.
I have nothing to do.
What should I do?
What's wrong with this screen?
It's hurting my eyes.
That son of a bitch.
Don't you feel hot?
You look hot. You're too close to her.
Excuse me,
I'd like to have my monitor changed.
It's hurting my eyes too much.
Just use it.
How do you keep looking at it?
The employees look at the screen
all day long.
You talk too much.
Just stay quiet while you're here.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Come on, don't talk to me like that here.
I feel uncomfortable.
Take a look at the screen
and then talk to me.
That thing is hurting my eyes
that my optic nerve
might get serious issues...
Excuse me. I'm talking to you...
Goodness.
It's musty...
Excuse me, why is it so musty here?
Don't you use the ventilator here?
You're living in Seoul, you know.
It's not because it's Seoul.
I feel like I'm in a coal mine.
I'm fine with this.
You don't look like you're fine.
I almost forgot. About Hwan-seung Lee.
Was his health...
I have no idea.
Don't talk to me. I'm working now.
All right.
Goodness, you surprised me.
All right.
She's monitoring me again.
She keeps monitoring me.
Goodness, my heart is throbbing.
OUR GOAL IS ACTION AND ACTION IS SALES.
WOODONG CORPORATION
-What is it?
-Well,
I organized the duties
Hwan-seung Lee didn't finish.
You did that?
How could you do all these things?
Well, about the inventory control,
I just input the data as I have a format.
I translate emails from related
departments to manage distributors abroad,
send the emails to each country
and receive their replies.
Among other things.
You look so stunned.
Haven't you seen a genius before?
It's noon. Time for lunch.
Everyone, it's lunch time!
Hello, you need to eat.
Your brain consumes
one-fourth of what you eat.
So the office workers like you should...
All right!
Let's have lunch.
Let's have lunch. It's good.
It's great.
Can you call this a lunch?
I feel like I became a refugee in Kosovo.
It's like a meal for a Buddhist monk.
I feel like I'm in a Buddhist temple.
I like it. I feel tranquil.
The average lunch time is seven minutes.
How can they finish in seven minutes?
Excuse me.
I see that every employee has lunch here
at your company.
Not one employee eats out.
It cost a lot to make this staff cafeteria
for employees' welfare.
It's not free, isn't it?
What if you want to eat something else,
for example,
stir-fried pork or pork and rice soup...
Then you can eat something else!
You're finding fault with minor things.
It's a minor thing.
It's not a minor thing.
I can't eat only greens.
I'm going to eat a hamburger.
-Here I go.
-You must be out of your mind.
-Goodness.
-What's wrong?
Put it away now.
It wouldn't smell that bad. Don't worry.
-It's not like that.
-It's all right. Why worry?
You're never allowed to bring food
inside the office.
Why?
You can only eat on the appointed time.
That's the rule here.
That doesn't make a sense.
I can eat when I want to. It takes
less than five minutes to eat this.
What are you doing?
You are causing trouble for others.
She threw it away.
She dumped my precious burger
into the trash can.
The file is leaked from the website.
Where is it?
The medical examiner's office
in Hankook University.
I'll call you right away
once I find out who it is.
What about the prosecutor, Jae-joon Lee
and the detective, Kyung-hee Kang?
We'll take care of them later.
VIP hasn't decided yet.
I understand.
APRIL 8, 2011
GWANJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
WASTE DISPOSAL IN YANGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
FIRE IN WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY
You didn't photocopy it, did you?
You shouldn't keep any of it.
We shouldn't waste more time
on Hwan-seung Lee Case.
I went to the Workers' Compensation
and Welfare Services.
They say it's hard to win the case
even with evidence.
They say an individual employee
rarely wins the lawsuit against a company.
We shouldn't close the case
just because the possibility is low.
It's different this time.
Strictly speaking,
this is a personal matter.
The death itself may be personal.
However, we should find out the truth
behind it.
That's enough
Make sure you tell Dr. Han
that we'll close the case in two days.
I can't do that.
Do what I say, please.
I know about justice and principles too.
No.
I don't think you know
about justice and principles.
Maybe you just want to turn a blind eye
to them.
Goodness, my burger.
How could she dump it into a trash can?
It was my lunch.
You chat too much on social media.
I'm sorry.
"Askhole was going crazy again today."
Askhole refers to me, right?
ASKHOLE: SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS DEMANDS
OTHERS TO ANSWER IN A WAY HE OR SHE WANTS
-That's not true.
-You're lying.
Based on the context, it's obvious
that you were referring to me.
Does she have to read between the lines?
Anyone can tell it's about her.
Wait a minute.
Why does she peek
at an employee's social media account?
Restroom or office pantry
The department head
who parted his hair in the middle
went to the restroom six times.
Also,
for the first time in four hours...
Goodness, my bladder is about to burst.
I have to run.
It's six o'clock.
It's six o'clock. Let's go...
All right.
Let's get off.
-Let's get off.
-You can go.
Goodness, she surprised me.
Why does she keep giving me that look?
She startled me.
Han-sook!
Han-sook! Excuse me.
How about a cup of coffee?
With me?
Right. Just a cup of coffee.
All right.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Goodness.
I've already asked other people,
but they didn't give me any answers
about Hwan-seung Lee.
What was Hwan-seung Lee like?
He was a nice man.
He was diligent and quiet.
Did he seem sick
or uncomfortable in any way?
No, he didn't.
I see.
By the way, why do we have to feel
so uncomfortable in the office?
They intervene and control
the employees at everything.
That's how a company is.
Not every company is like that.
Then,
why do they peek at
the employees' social media accounts?
In addition,
you always work overtime at night, right?
How can you work for 12 hours every day?
Look at your face.
You have such a pretty face.
You don't have time to get a facial.
If you sleep little more
and get some facial done,
you can be like Scarlett Johansson.
What's wrong? Do you feel all right?
It's nothing.
I think I've had enough of your story.
Please, excuse me.
Han-sook...
I feel tired.
It's her. She's here!
It's delicious.
This is life.
These days, I don't have any pleasure
in my life anymore.
Even a prison must be better
than that place.
-Take a look at this.
-All right.
These are from the surveillance cameras
in the office.
The cameras don't appear to be
only for safety reasons.
They are keeping watch on employees.
The angle of the cameras
are very accurate.
Right.
They even have cameras in the office
pantry and in front of the restroom.
Right. I saw those cameras.
How can you relieve yourself
in such an environment?
I discovered that they installed a program
on every employee's computer
so they can censor personal messages
and the working hours.
They must be checking on how each employee
moves in and out.
All those things
are controlled by the woman called
Ms. Ko, right?
Right. She's the one who controls it.
Goodness, she wears her make-up
like that of a calendar model
in the 1970s.
It's out of style.
First of all,
if they controlled visits to the restroom,
that must have been very fatal
to Hwan-seung Lee.
The company can insist
that it was a personal circumstance,
if the access control to the restroom
didn't damage other employees.
We need something more crucial
than that one.
He must be exhausted.
Goodness.
Han-sook.
Thank you.
Your make-up looks...
I watched the movie Avengers ,
and imitated the actress' make-up.
Avengers...
Scarlett Johansson.
It's Scarlett Johansson. I get it.
You made me feel little bit better.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right.
Miss Shim, is this all you can do?
You're old enough to do this right?
Would this work if you do it this way?
Now that you didn't do this right,
everything went wrong.
It's ridiculous.
Goodness, she's driving me crazy.
Hang in there.
Here's the brain biopsy results
of Hwan-seung Lee.
A pituitary stalk of 0.23 cm
was found in his brain tissue.
What?
Dr. Han guessed it right.
He must have had a problem
with his brain function because of that.
By the way, is the cause of death
related to this
from a neurosurgical view?
It's not directly related,
but it could cause mental problems.
It can explain Hwan-seung Lee's
intraocular pressure.
Then,
the pain in the bones of the lower limb...
Tell Dr. Han the biopsy results now.
I will.
It's 0.23 cm?
I'm sorry.
Run a test again to see
whether there's infiltration
in the mononuclear cells.
I see, Dr. Han. Anything else?
Also,
check if it's shaped
as a formed cytoplasm.
I'll do so right away.
I don't think you know
about justice and principles.
No, you don't want to know about that.
Hello, I'm Detective Kyung-hee Kang
at special investigation department.
I'd like to ask you something.
Sure, go ahead.
Has there been a case in Yangju recently
which was related
to illegal waste disposal?
There were cases related
to industrial sewage,
but they were minor ones.
There was not a particular case.
Was there any case that caused a death?
It never happened.
The cases just required
a corrective order.
I see.
I'll send you a picture of a factory
located in Yangju.
Please contact me if you have an idea
about its rough location.
I will.
WOODONG CORPORATION IDEA SKETCH
About the draft of our new product...
Well, I liked it. It wasn't bad.
The angle and pointing was good.
What do you think?
All right! I do have an eye for it,
we'll proceed with it.
It looks really bad to me.
We need to think about it reasonably.
This ballpoint pen looks like a gimbap
with a pickled radish sticking out.
Who's going to pay 2,000 won for it?
Not another word, Jun-woo Han.
Excuse me, I'm Jin-woo Han,
not Jun-woo Han.
Well, you don't appear to remember my name
as I'm not a target for your monitoring.
Let's finish the meeting here.
We've planned
a get-together.
Do we have a get-together?
Where is it going to be?
What are we going to have?
Are we having sashimi or barbecue?
All right. Let's proceed.
What are you proceeding to?
Great. It's so good.
What's going on?
How do you feel, everyone?
You've been inside the office all day.
You need to see the sunlight.
This is a vitamin D supplement.
What else can you call a supplement?
Dr. Han, we're getting vitamin D, right?
Excuse me, what's important here
is not the vitamin D.
Overexposure to the ultraviolet rays
is more fatal.
What's he doing?
I find this the most delicious.
Chicken doesn't taste good.
It has an extract in it.
Have a sip, everyone.
Help yourself. Go ahead.
Hey, Jeong-hoon.
Taste it.
Drink it. Drink up.
-It's refreshing.
-Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Come on. Stop pretending and drink up.
Have some more.
Drink up.
Yes, that's it. Great.
That's it. Good job.
It's refreshing.
It's refreshing. Taste it. Go ahead.
ILSUNG MANPOWER DISPATCH SERVICE
I'm back.
Goodness, Dr. Han.
You look terrible today.
How can you say that I look terrible?
You went there as an investigator,
and came back, looking weary.
She's right. What happened to your outfit?
You look like a door-to-door salesman.
What are you talking about?
I spent a lot of money on this.
Let's change the subject.
Do we have the test result?
Let's go.
Goodness, it's time to work.
As Dr. Han said, the detailed
brain biopsy result shows
infiltration in the mononuclear cells
shaped as a formed cytoplasm.
Dr. Han.
Yes, for our inventory control,
2B system works better.
What is he talking about?
Goodness.
Goodness, I'm sorry.
Let me see.
Then, you know,
have you conducted
immunostaining on CD68 and S100 protein?
Yes, it came out positive for CD68.
If it's positive for CD68...
Then I was right. It's ECD.
It's Erdheim-Chester disease.
You mean ECD?
ABNORMAL MULTIPLICATION
OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS
What is that?
I'm certain I've read about it
in a collection of theses.
There are less than 500 patients
suffering from it.
I'll explain. You should take notes.
The disease is called ECD.
This type of histiocytosis
is more extensive
and does not involve Langerhans cells.
It can result in a variety of symptoms
and due to this characteristic,
patients usually die
from multiple organ failure.
Sometimes, the symptoms
are hard to be diagnosed.
That's correct. Diabetes insipidus
is a complication of ECD.
The disease affects
the skeletal system, retroperitoneum,
eyeballs, lungs, pericardium, and stomach.
In short, almost all parts of the body.
Right. That's why there were
all those medicines
in Hwan-seung Lee's house.
Seeing that there was no medical record
on the disease,
he didn't know he had this disease.
However, how are we going to relate ECD
to work-related fatality?
If it's a rare disease that a patient
himself didn't know about,
it'd be harder to establish
the relationship.
Right. It's an exceptional case
if he was the only one
who wasn't well
when others were all right.
No, even though it's an exceptional case,
what if
all factors existing in the office
triggered the outbreak
and progress of ECD?
JIN-WOO HAN
Also,
what if other conditions
worked as pathogenic determinants?
Well, employees of Woodong Corporation
who are working hard!
You know what this is, right?
Yes, we'll conduct urine tests.
Everyone should get your urine
in this cup right now.
What are you doing now?
The prosecutor issued a warrant
for this test.
WARRANT
What are you doing?
Come here quickly. Come and take it.
Come and get your cup, one by one.
Come quickly. You don't need
to mind others.
Han-sook.
Hi.
Han-sook.
You must have had a hard day today.
Yes.
I can actually understand
why you and the other employees
were so troubled and afraid.
Right.
It's not easy to earn money.
It's also not easy to sacrifice today
for tomorrow
as Hwan-seung did.
Such hope
should not be misused by someone else.
Han-sook.
So,
please help me
so that I can teach a lesson
to those bad people who misuse it.
That
would be what Hwan-seung
might have wished for.
On what grounds did you issue the warrant?
What crime did my client commit?
I'll elaborate
what crime he committed.
Well, let's sum up.
Detective Kang, go ahead.
You kept an eye on the employees
with surveillance cameras.
Not only the office,
but the office pantry
and in front of the restroom.
You intended to shorten the off-hour,
right?
According to our investigation,
during the 12 hours,
the junior staffs go to the restroom
only three to four times on average.
That can completely drive one crazy.
On the other hand, the executives went
to the restroom over ten times.
How does this matter
when they don't have any health problems?
You can't say that
if you know what this is.
This is
the urine test results of your employees.
In general, the osmotic pressure
in their urine was very low.
That's enough to be
a pathogenic determinant.
That means all your employees
are potential patients of cystitis
and pyelitis.
Also,
all the employees'
pulmonary functions are bad.
You'll know that by just listening
to them coughing.
You're cheap.
You installed an air purifier
only in your office.
You're shrewd.
What did you say?
You should stop saying that.
Now let's talk about Hwan-seung Lee.
The fundamental reason Hwan-seung died
is because Erdheim-Chester disease.
It's kind of a brain disease,
a brain tumor in a way.
The cause of the disease is so varied.
It's a histiocytosis.
Histiocytes proliferates
and causes problems
in the skin, nervous system,
lymphatic system,
eyeballs, and even respiratory system.
Can you make it easier to understand?
This is as easy as it gets.
Can't you understand when you listen?
Do you think I'm a doctor or what?
Yes, I bet you you're not one.
Anyway, your company's office
is full of pathogenic determinants.
First, they are overworked and stressed.
I shall let them go as they are
the cause of every disease.
There was a case in Japan.
Children watching an animation
fell into a fit collectively.
The flash of flickering screen
caused a photosensitive seizure.
This seizure is a symptom that breaks out
when you're repeatedly exposed
to irritating lights.
When you're repeatedly exposed
to such a screen
and the photosensitive symptoms continue,
it can cause a brain tumor,
according to research.
The research shows it very clearly.
We discovered
that he used a broken monitor
for over a year.
As a doctor, I can deduce
that as the pathogenic determinant
of ECD.
Other determinants are
pulmonary dysfunction
caused by poor air quality,
frequent starvation
and aggravated gastrointestinal disorder
caused by extremely short lunchtime
which averages around seven minutes.
Also,
your inhuman surveillance
caused dehydration and aggravated
diabetes insipidus.
Because of many unfavorable conditions,
his body was under huge stress.
What was crucial was,
diabetes insipidus worked as a catalyst
and Hwan-seung died.
All these occurrences
are not a coincidence.
You caused them all.
You neglected those conditions,
and it caused a disease in Hwan-seung Lee.
As the disease aggravated,
he was driven to death.
I did my best for the welfare
of my employees.
I offered everything they needed
according to their requests.
Are you sure? Really?
With your hand on your heart?
All you did while you were working
in the office
was to artificially piece
these things together?
I didn't piece things together for this.
Let her come inside.
-Come in.
-This way.
Feel free to say what you want to.
The executives prohibited purchasing
every office supply.
They knew the ventilation was out of order
but neglected it.
They didn't replace the monitors.
They forced us to eat lunch
at the cafeteria.
They didn't listen to our suggestions.
It's all bullshit.
Bullshit. That's good.
I really like that expression.
The executives
took it easy and ignored us.
I knew they were watching us,
but I couldn't say anything.
I would have been fired
if I were to complain.
Who do you think you are?
Did you know that the best way
to discover work-related fatality
is through a whistle-blower?
Based on her testimony and medical proofs,
we'll formally apply
for work-related fatality.
Do whatever you want to do.
It will never turn out as you wish.
You can hang on as much as you want.
It will turn out as we wish.
Well.
At first,
I thought you considered
all the employees as robots.
However, after a while,
I found that you are the robot.
You don't have empathy
and emotions at all.
You're such a robot.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
You're welcome.
The real battle starts now.
You should gather your courage.
I will.
Madam,
your son
was really an honest and diligent man.
You can be proud of him.
I will.
By the way,
I heard I need a lawyer.
I will arrange it for you.
Here you go.
My friend is a lawyer.
If you visit him,
he'll help you as if it's his own matter.
He does everything I tell him to do.
Thank you.
You must have had a hard time
being a company staff.
I guess I was still a doctor there,
not an office worker.
That place was not a workplace.
It was a cancer ward.
Everything there was a carcinogen.
At the very least,
a man or an organization
should not make people suffer.
Doctors can't prevent someone
from becoming a toxic person.
Frankly speaking, it depends
on those with power.
Whether you become a toxic person
or the one who mends others' broken hearts
depends solely on those with power.
Detective Kang.
You are so eloquent.
Are you getting a speech lesson
these days?
Didn't you know
that I'm quite intelligent?
I didn't know that.
Remember it from now on.
I didn't know that.
Wait for me.
SECTION CHIEF
HWAN-SEUNG LEE
Everyone, let's go to the restroom!
Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times
had a happy ending,
but Hwan-seung Lee's story
ended with a sad ending.
However, he left with a smile.
What could be the reason?
He might have had a dream
at the last moment.
Not a dream about abundance
in a distant future,
but about the greatest happiness
he could feel at the moment.
That was the only thing
an ordinary worker could have dreamed of.
That was the only thing.
Da-mi!
Mister!
Mister...
Da-mi.
Da-mi!
Da-mi! What's wrong?
Da-mi!
Doctor!
Da-mi, are you all right?
Get ready right now!
Da-mi!
A second-year student in a high school
located in Gyeonggi-do.
They said the cast which wrapped Lee
shed bloody tears.
It might be a supernatural phenomenon.
A statue of Maria or Jesus
shed tears of blood sometimes.
The suspect hits it accidentally.
A boy in the art club committed suicide.
I didn't like the way he looked at me.
He was all right before.
Why is he limping all of a sudden?
Dr. Han, what happened to your hand?
How could I just stay still as a man?
I finished it with a blast.
Will you be all right by yourself?
You know how good I am.
Be careful. If you get hurt, I will...
See you.
