[ Our deaths ]
[ Dismissal is murder! ]
[ Full-time employees workplace struggle ]
Are you okay?
We can deal with having no water and electricity,
but they should at least let the injured ones leave.
It's like they want us to die here.
Let's wait another day and see.
We'll at least reach some kind of conclusion tomorrow.
This is the last of it. Have some.
I'm okay. You can have it.
You should drink some if you want to duke it out tomorrow.
Son.
What are you doing still up?
- Dad, when are you coming? - Me?
[ Lee Jung Wan: Mirae Auto former employee and union member ]
- I'll come home tomorrow. - Really?
Let's eat something tasty tomorrow.
What do you want to eat?
Hello?
Son!
Dad?
Hello?
Hello? Son?
Hello?
[ Day 77 of Mirae Auto's strike due to the dismissal of 2,640 employees ]
The call is not going through...
Mom!
The call with Dad cut off.
Right, and he's coming home tomorrow.
Yay!

You and you can get in. Get in the car.
Hurry up and get in!
Are you a college student?
Well, yes.
There are a lot of young people since they're on break.
Old folks like me stand no chance.
Hey.
All right. You and you.
Okay!
Wait. Maybe next time, sir.
But I'm a good worker.
How much is the day rate?
It'll be pretty generous.
- Is it okay if I have no skills? - Of course.
The team leader will tell you the details once you arrive on site.
- Yes. - Yes.
Please tell me your name.
- Lee Seung Won. - Mr. Lee Seung Won.
You can line up and get food.
- Got it. - Hurry up!
- Thank you. - Hurry up. Hurry!
- Kim Jin Woo. - Mr. Kim Jin Woo.
Here you go.
Yes, what's your name?
Mr. Kim Young Seok.
Excuse me, what are we doing?
- I'm not sure either. - Hurry up!
Let's go.
Bukdong...
This is my neighborhood.
Get at least one shield!
Follow my lead and keep pushing when it happens.
- Yes! - Yes.
Come on in. Hurry up. There's no time!
Hurry up!
Follow my lead and keep pushing when it happens.
Yes!
Have you eaten?
I got off work and just got home.
Don't be sorry.
We're not the only ones suffering.
You don't know when the strike will end, right?
All right.
Cheer up.

[ Kim Won Seok: Mirae Auto union member on company side ]
[ I proposed to you so we could laugh together forever... ]
[ I'm sorry for burdening you with my problem ]
[ I'll love our son even more on your behalf ]
[ A few months ago ]
The company gave you a little extra.
You even said goodbye to your wife. Enough is enough!
What would be the point if the company closes down?
We'll all go down together if we do as they wish.
Shouldn't you consider Se Woong?
I wouldn't be saying this to anyone else.
Just listen to me
and sign the agreement already.
I'll remove you from the dismissal list then.
This is your last chance.

[ return paid time off and return or halt social security pay ]
You came.
[ Choi Young Jin: Mirae Auto union member on company side ]
What if we cause trouble by doing this?
Aigoo...
We're not starting a fight.
We're trying to have a discussion one last time.
Let's go.
Let's all get going!
Let's get going.
[ Geumsok Union ]
What are you doing?
Apologize!
Get over here!
- What the heck? - What are they trying to pull?
Now, now, now.
We're here to talk!
Please move this. [ 4 a.m.: Pro-company union enters the factory ]
- Move what? - You've got to be kidding.
Move quickly! Hurry up!
Release them right now!
What's this? You said wanted to talk! [ 4:30 a.m.: The fight between A Security and the union started ]
What? What's this?
Union members.
This is the first warning.
Move.
Otherwise, we'll move through.
Beat it, you god**** thugs!
Stop this nonsense!
This is our workplace!
This is the second warning.
If you don't move,
we'll jump over.
What's this?
- What the? - This is the last warning.
- Advance guards, go! - Yes!
Get them!
Move quickly!
Move!
Stop right there!
[ Police ]
Let's go in. Let's go in!
Fire!
- In Mirae Auto Union's assault case... - Please read this.
- the police ignored the union's call for help - Please read this.
and ignored the incident on purpose.
There's clear evidence for that.
He's right! He's right!
Also, Sung Je Joong, the chief of police
has been the subject of HRC's appeal due to Han Seung Ryeol's death,
caused during the union-busting at Pogang Construction,
while he was the chief of the Pogang Police Force.
Even in peaceful protests,
he controlled the situation violently using water cannon and tear gas
- causing controversy. - He's right!
He's right! That's right! So wrong!
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello, everyone.
Could you tell me your name and position?
Yes, I'm Oh Dong Hoon,
the representative of the dismissed union members at Mirae Auto.
Could you tell me what the appeal is about?
Well...
I'm glad you came to us.
Don't be nervous. Feel free to tell us everything.
Okay.
[ Park Do Yool: Attorney for plaintiff and civic organization, "Labor and Hope" ]
A security company called "A Security"
was sent to the factory during the protest.
They overstepped the boundary and
they forcefully broke up the protest.
They used violence in the process
and they threatened physical harm and lives of the union members.
I'd like to file an appeal against the
Bukdong Police Department for not taking action regarding this matter.
Please conduct a thorough investigation for violation of
human rights and reveal the truth.
And please punish the person in charge.
Yes.
[ Victim: Lee Jung Wan, the deceased union member ]
[ Defendant: Sung Je Joong, the chief of police ]
[ The verdict from the Human Rights Committee of the National Human Rights Commission ]
[ Defendant: Sung Je Joong, the chief of police ]
Pogang Construction's union that occupied their HQ
had a confrontation with the police.
[ Five years ago ] In the process, one of the protestors,
Han was sent to the hospital due to the head and chest injury,
but was declared brain dead and died.
The union believes Han died from excessive force by the police.
They're demanding the hospital investigation.
There are plenty of contractors who receive less than 20 million won.
[ Sung Je Joong: Defendant/Chief of Pogang Police Force ] The ones who make three times more were on strike.
Are you not allowed to go on strike if you make a lot of money?
I'm mentioning this because a third party instigated the strike.
Has it been verified?
A spy informed me.
It has been reported that you used tear gas that contains a carcinogen.
A lot of food contains carcinogens.
Tear gas isn't exactly like perfume, you know.
I'll give my recommendation as the inspector on this case.
I recommend that the HRC request
the police commissioner to investigate
the cause of death of Han Seung Ryeol,
who died in the process of the police’s
breaking up of the protest.
The HRC should urge
the police commissioner to punish the chief of police,
Sung Je Joong, and come up with a plan, so the freedom to protest
is not violated again
through excessive use of force.
I know you have a cushy job,
but you should still put in the work worth your pay.
This is why people call you public officials
parasites and tax thieves!
That's why! You know?
How much do you pay in tax anyway?
Why do you care how much I pay in tax?
That's not the point right now!
Fine! Seriously...
Do you want me to show you how much I pay in tax?
Look, I had a few drinks
- last night and... - Aigoo, why go through an empty wallet?
You shouldn't say stuff like that to a plaintiff still.
- Are you looking down on the citizens? - Well said!
I'll say this now that we're on topic.
Why don't you put instant coffee packets in the waiting room?
It's not like you pay for them yourself.
Don't be so stingy.
- Enough! - Stop that.
What's the point of putting them there?
- Jung Nam takes them all. - What?
Hey, you coffee thief!
Try running with your short legs!
I used to be on a track team!
Whoa, whoa, keep trying!
The police are saying the HRC is doing a targeted investigation.
What do you mean, a targeted investigation?
The thing is...
One of the plaintiffs for Pogang Construction's
union case was Chief Sung Je Joong.
- I was in charge of the case. - Right.
The police are accusing us of taking revenge.
They're using the media to question our neutrality.
If the police repeat the same wrongdoing,
isn't that a bigger problem?
We should no longer
give the wrong impression that
the police can be this forceful.
Someone died as well.
Please work with the Policy Division and
prepare for the ex officio investigation.
Aigoo, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
- Inspector Han, let's get started. - Yes.
First of all, we should determine the scale of the ex officio investigation.
The first issue is to determine if the police responded
appropriately to the assault case.
We should find out whether they showed up late
or they used excessive force as well.
We don't know if it's the police or the service crew who are
responsible for Lee Jung Wan's death yet.
So we should investigate the service crew too.
You're right.
There were police officers at the scene,
but there were also security guards
from "A Security," who were hired by the company.
But HRC can only investigate state agencies regarding
violation of human rights.
We can't investigate A Security, a private enterprise.
What's up with all these restrictions?
But someone died during the crowd suppression.
We should find out the cause of death, at least.
HRC isn't legally allowed to investigate a private enterprise.
We can't investigate the service crew.
I mean...
for us to find out whether the police responded appropriately,
we need to know the context of the incident.
We need to know what the service crew did
and what the police did in the scene
so we could understand.
In that logic, there's nothing the HRC can't investigate.
We'll do it all.
Well, how about this?
What if we investigate them to review the policy so we could determine
whether there was anything wrong with the National Security Law?
That would work!
Regardless of who we investigate,
it'd be difficult for us to determine
who caused the death.
We'll do what we can and
request the prosecution to investigate.
All right. Let's go for it.
I'm sure the police will blame the service crew
and the service crew will blame the police.
It'd become like Truth or Dare.
Let's investigate both of them.
- Yes. - Yes.
All right. Let's go for it.
I'm sure the police will blame the service crew
and the service crew will blame the police.
Let's investigate both of them.
- Yes. - Yes.
The weather's amazing.
There's a famous lamb kabob place
near the factory we're going to.
Why don't we go there for dinner tonight?
I know that place too! They're really good.
Deputy Director, what goes with lamb kabobs?
Working overtime. Overtime.
Overtime.
Let's eat them after then.
What's this?
All the stores are closed.
So much changed in just a few months.
[ For Rent ]
It was 2012 when the company went into receivership
due to poor management and recession.
The government provided emergency funds,
but the company was bought out
by a foreign corporation in October 2014.
The union started protesting against the sell-off since then.
The fact that they were provided with governmental funds
actually means that the tax money
was used to offset the company's loss.
So the governmental funds
are actually our pocket money.
- Is that true? - Yes.
But the problem is that the foreign corporation that took over
only wanted their technology. They didn't care whether
the company went down.
So the union filed a lawsuit regarding the loss of intellectual property,
but the court found them not guilty.
Did our nation's court really make that decision?
Yes.
The company started to suffer financially again and in February 2017,
they announced that they'd dismiss
2,640 employees due to management emergency.
They fired that many people all of a sudden?
They prepared for their exit.
Since the technology was bought out,
the easiest way to sell off the company to another
was to dismiss the employees.
Wow, they took everything and fled.
The people who fought against the company
were divided into two groups,
the ones who are on the hit list
and the ones who survived.
The dismissed ones went on a stay-in strike in the factory
and the survivors were recruited by the company for a demonstration.
It turned into a fight between the dismissed union and the pro-company union.
It became a fight between innocent workers.
Yes.
The media saw it as a greedy fight between privileged union members.
The union filed a lawsuit against the company to nullify the dismissal,
but the court sided with the company saying dismissal was reasonable.
And a week after they lost the lawsuit,
a union member burned himself to death. And so far...
22 of them died.
Yes, that's correct.
[ Lee Seung Hoo: Lee Jung Wan's son ]
You want to play a game with me? [ Kim Se Woong: Kim Won Seok's son ]
[ Lee Seung Hoo / Kim Se Woong ]
Will you miss the choir practice again today?
Yeah.
How is your dad?
He's a lot better.
That's a relief.
Our family...
might move somewhere.
Really? Why?
I don't know.
Mom said she hates this place.
The police said
joint investigation HQ is around here somewhere.
Doesn't it say somewhere by the river?
What's this?
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
I think we came to the wrong place. Get back.
This is the joint investigation HQ and
our lodging.
What's she saying?
What did you expect? On our travel expenses.
Hurry up.
Here we are.
Wow, I know we come here all the time,
but it's more luxurious than from the outside.
Yes.
I'll stop by the police station first.
- Yes. - Yes, see you later.
This is it?
Let's go.
- Where? - The police station.
- Take care. - All right.
Why didn't you tell me earlier then?
Inspector Lee, where are we supposed to go?
Ah, well...
The first union member's house.
- I see. Mr. Lee Chul Gyu? - Yes.
- Yes, let's go. - Yes.
- Where are they from? - They're apparently from HRC.
Geez...
You're from HRC?
Yes.
You can't see the chief because he's waiting to be reassigned.
There must be a field officer other than Chief Sung Je Joong.
Their information is also under protection.
You can't see them either.
You mean no one who knows what happened then?
I'm busy with the change-over too.
The reporters come by every day and ask me.
Some civic organization called us
and says we're "violent cops" out of nowhere.
Isn't this violation of human rights too?
And you know how things are these days.
We can't just barge in and use force either.
And the union was on a stay-in strike there too.
We could only enter the scene when we know
for sure that there is violence.
We can't just barge in without reason.
We didn't know there was a violent situation
in the factory before we got the report either.
Did you dispatch as soon as you got the report?
Yes, right away.
We can see the case record and the report then, right?
That'd be difficult because we're still investigating the case.
I'll send you everything when we finish the investigation.
But...
dozens of people got into a fight, got injured, and there was fire too.
But they received the report much later than the incident began.
Isn't that weird?
Either the police got the call and didn't dispatch to the scene,
or delayed their dispatch.
It's suspicious that they are using the investigation as an excuse not to release the report.
Why don't we meet the people directly
and create a timeline?
My place is a mess. Why don't we talk here?
Yes.
That day...
It's not like
[ Lee Chul Gyu: Witness/Mirae Auto union member ] we decided to strike all of a sudden.
To avoid disturbing the production schedule,
we planned to strike for two hours,
then for four hours, and so on.
We kept all our regular work hours that day too.
[ 3:50 - Nightshift ended ] The nightshift team finished working at 3:50 a.m.,
and they came in later.
By "they," you mean...
The pro-company union traitors.
Do you remember what time that was, by chance?
I think it was probably around four in the morning.
[ 3:50 a.m. - Nightshift ended ]
[ 4:00 a.m. - Pro-company union members entered the factory ]
Are you from HRC, by chance?
The one who called earlier?
Yes, yes.
I'm Inspector Bae Hong Tae from HRC.
I see. I don't know what to say.
I need to pick up my child.
Can we talk on the way?
Although I kept my job,
all the welfare funds including medical insurance
and child education funds were cut off.
They even stopped supplying ramen and yogurt for the night shift workers too.
By the way...
is there a reason why you went there so late at night?
Well, it's because that was the last night.
The company was signing the sales agreement the next day.
So I went there to persuade them.
I said "If the company is sold while you're here,
you'll get fired for an illegal strike and not receive severance pay.
Forget the severance pay.
If they demand compensation for illegal occupancy or whatnot,
you'll have no choice but to become homeless.
Don't be like that and let them sell the company
and get paid, at least."
We went there for their benefit.
Because everyone needs to survive somehow.
We went there to tell them that, but...
How dare you come here?
Hey, hey, hey.
We're here to talk. Please move this.
Talk about what?
Please leave if you're here to persuade us.
Hyungnim.
Please hear us out first.
Would that change anything?
To be honest, we were all born and raised here.
We went to the same elementary school and high school.
We're neighbors and colleagues as well.
I don't know how we ended up here.
If only they didn't come in...
By "they..."
the people from the service crew?
Yes.
Maybe it was 4:25 in the morning.
[ Park Jung Ho: Witness/Mirae Auto's union member ] The leaders said that's what the back gate CCTV recorded.
A bunch of buses pulled in
and a bunch of people poured out.
I think they barged in
after five or 10 minutes, maybe?
They said something about disbanding and went right in.
So...
you mean they came in between 4:30 and 4:35, right?
Yes.
I think so.
[ 4:25 a.m. - A Security arrived at the back gate of the factory ]
[ 4:30 a.m. - A fight between A Security and the union started ]
Aigoo, they suddenly yelled out "attack" or something like that.
And they smashed everything.
The front windows started shattering first.
Aigoo...
Everything started breaking all at once...
I feel like I came back from hell.
That place was hellish that night.
I mean...
in my entire life,
I was never so scared of the police...
The police?
The police officers beat us.
I think you're mistaken.
The people who came in first that night
are people from the service crew the company hired.
They're not police officers.
I mean...
what gives them the right to beat people if they aren't even police?
What did the police do then?
People were dying in there!
I know it's hard,
but could you tell me about
the incident that night?
It sounded like gun shots.
Pew.
The products we made hit us like bullets.
It hurt when they hit me,
but my heart ached getting hit
by the things I made.
I couldn't have jumped normally.
But I thought
I'd die if I stayed in there.
I had no other choice but to jump.
I still don't know how I ran away.
When I called the police after I left the factory,
it was 5:06 in the morning.
You called after five in the morning?
Yes.
While I was being chased in the factory,
I kept calling 911, but...
this thing didn't work.
So there was no phone signal inside the factory,
and you called the police at 5:06 after you left the factory?
Yes.
Have a look.
[ 5:06 a.m. - Called the police for the first time ]
Whenever I think back,
I can't sleep at night because of nightmares.
Even if I fall asleep for a moment,
I dream of getting chased and jumping off the building every time.
I can still hear the cicadas.
I feel like it's crawling into my ear right now.
I really want to cut off my ear.
Even if I dig into my ear until it bleeds,
it still doesn't stop!
Look!
That, that, that, that thing!
Have you been to the hospital?
I did see a therapist.
They said I have an intermittent explosive disorder.
How did the fire start exactly?
The, the, the fire?
The thing is...
The fire probably started by the firebombs the union had.
Somebody must've thrown one.
Who?
What else could it be?
Probably the people who made them.
Until when will you skip choir practices?
I don't know.
Did you know we have a song for the choir competition?
No.
I'll send it to your phone. Make sure to listen to it.
Okay.
Make sure to come next week.
Ye Won!
Dad!
I'll get going then.
Yes, thank you.
Soo Bin!
Hi.
I'll meet you at the car.
You shouldn't park like that.
Please consider other cars.
Oppa doesn't like to talk about what happened that day.
Other people told me that
he was close to the deceased Lee Jung Wan.
Yes.
He lived in the apartment right above Jung Wan's. Maybe...
he was closer to him than me, his family.
I think he was hurt both physically
and mentally since that happened.
He wants to rest right now.
Guys.
Hello.
I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo from HRC.
Please call me...
if you'd like to talk about anything later.
[Viki Ver] OCN E09 'The Running Mates: Human Rights' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Here are the snacks.
Sounds great. Let's eat first.
Let's take a break.
Okay.
Thank you!
Here you go.
Here's a chicken kabob.
Right, you like lamb kabobs.
I don't eat lamb kabobs anymore.
- Thank you. - Sure.
But I like lamb kabobs.
Yes, Chief.
They didn't have lamb kabobs...
Yes.
I appreciate the gesture, but that's not the only...
- Yes. - lamb kabob place around.
Yes, got it.
How many places did you go to?
Just eat already.
Chief just called me.
The president called and told him to
investigate this case thoroughly and find out who's to blame.
Chairwoman wants us to investigate the security company aggressively too.
Yes.
[ 4:00 a.m. - Pro-company union enters the factory ] To summarize the events according to the timeline,
[ 4:25 a.m. - A Security arrives at the back gate of the factory ]
[ 4:30 a.m. - A fight between A Security and the union starts ]
[ 5:06 a.m. - Called the police for the first time ]
[ 7:45 a.m. - Found Lee Jung Wan's body ] According to an eyewitness near the factory,
the police arrived around 5:20 a.m.
If someone called the police at 5:06 a.m.,
and the police arrived 15 minutes later,
you can't say that they arrived late.
That's just what Lee Chul Gyu said.
He called the police outside the factory at 5:06 a.m. due to bad signal.
We don't know if someone else called the police beforehand
and if the police didn't dispatch after receiving the call.
We don't know that yet.
How strange.
The person we just met with
said his phone didn't work inside the factory either.
While being chased into a corner room on the second floor
and tried calling the police, but there was no signal.
I wonder why there was no signal.
Hold on.
Maybe someone made sure there was no signal.
Who would do that and why?
I wonder why there was no signal.
Hold on.
Maybe someone made sure there was no signal.
Who would do that and why?
Thank you!
Please come this way.
I didn't know we were meeting with the legal team as well.
I guess you have a lot of concerns.
They usually
join us to all external meetings. [ Jung Se Woon: A Security director/Yoon Gil Hong: A Security team leader ]
You don't have to worry about them.
I think you're the one worried.
First of all,
I'd like to apologize on behalf of the company
for this unfortunate event.
The guards were trying to protect themselves
from the attack from the armed union members
who were on an illegal strike...
You mean you indeed used violence,
but it was self-defense?
Well, the thing is...
Regarding the incident...
To fight against the union members engaged in illegal activity,
it was a legitimate security duty and
- the outcome was inevitable. - Excuse me.
A person died, and dozens of people got injured.
You call that "legitimate security duty?"
It seems like you think of us as thugs.
You're mistaken.
The innocent employees
were being assaulted by illegal workers
and they were sent to help them.
But wasn't it too much to send over 100 security guards for that?
That's what the illegal union members are saying.
According to the official record,
there were 56 guards.
Isn't 56 still too many for a regular security duty?
Not all 56 of them were there from the get-go.
Some were sent from another branch when the incident occurred.
Each and every guard costs money.
Unless the client approves,
we're not allowed to send out more people.
There's evidence from the scene, as I understand.
You never handed it in.
Why?
Will you demand a warrant or something?
No, there's no way.
We're willing to cooperate as much as we can
whether it's the police or HRC.
The evidence was destroyed in the fire.
Our forensic team is currently restoring it.
I'll send it along as soon as they finish.
Is it being restored or
are you editing out what would be disadvantageous to you?
Where should I send it to?
Riverside Motel. #303.
Got it.
If there aren't any more questions...
I'd like to meet with the employees who were dispatched that night.
You said you'd cooperate as much as you can.
At least, you can do that, right?
Of course, I can.
By the way, geez...
People who were sent to the factory that night...
- They're no longer here. - Pardon?
Aigoo.
I'm entertaining the thugs instead of wearing the prosecutor's robe.
What's your opinion?
Can't you tell?
A typical way to deviate from core issues.
He fired everyone involved because a problem occurred.
Saying he's restoring the evidence,
he'll send it to us after editing it his way.
If it were up to me,
I'd get a warrant and search that whole place.
But in reality, I'm just begging for information.
I'm extremely sad.
[ Paid same day/service crew wanted/no experience required ]
I found it!
This is it, right?
Yes, it is.
Yes, Inspector Han. It's me.
I think that the company just opened up a new office.
Yes, they mentioned working as security for Mirae Auto.
It's on the job website two weeks after the Dojang Factory Incident.
I think that's them.
Yes, I'll text you the address.
Jung Nam?
Aigoo! I'm enjoying the coffee, thanks to you.
- Right! - Aigoo...
It's not like it's expensive or anything.
Let me know whenever you need more coffee.
Aigoo!
Where are you going?
- You're so silly! - Geez...
Gosh...
He's such a nice person.
[ Hanjoo Employment Agency ]
Geez, it's locked.
[ Looking for both employees and clients / Open every day ]
Hello.
Is this Team Leader Choi Hyeok Gon,
who used to work for A Security?
We went to fight the fired employees,
but we had no idea we'd get fired.
[ Choi Hyeok Gon: Witness/A Security team leader ] The HQ told them to fire the people
who went to the factory that day.
I worked my a** off to do the job,
but I got screwed over.
All we did was working like a dog
as the company told us to.
I know you were told to,
but don't you think you were too violent?
I was the team leader.
You'd go crazy too if you saw your guys getting beaten up.
If we didn't have protective gears and shields,
a lot of us would've died.
The union members had slingshots, wooden sticks.
It was no joke.
Honestly, no strike site is safe.
In this job,
getting injured all depends on your luck.
I've got a massive headache, too.
Suspended license and fine, too.
Out of 100, over half didn't get paid.
Did you say 100?
There were more than two and a half buses full.
There were more than 100.
So...
A Security sent out more than 100 guards to the scene?
Yes.
I'm a contractor with only a few guys.
There's a higher-up.
Director Min on site
told us to go in. That's why we went there.
Director Min?
Yes, he's in management at the car company.
You mean, on the day of the incident,
someone called "Director Min" from the car company was present?
That's what I'm saying.
His title is design director, but
he manages everything, including the union and service crew.
I have a customer.
- I'll get going then. - Yes.
- Here. - Yes.
Looks like you're from HRC.
- Yes. - What is it about?
I'm here to investigate Mirae Auto.
I see.
Wouldn't you like to get a car wash?
Inspector Han!
The police said they're releasing Lee Jung Wan's autopsy report.
I'll head over there now.
See you at Riverside Investigation Headquarters later.
Okay.
Director Min?
His title is design director, but
he manages everything including the union and service crew.

How can I be of help? [ Min Deok Hyeon: Witness/Design Director of Mirae Auto ]
Did you tell an employee from A Security
to go inside the factory and suppress the union
where the incident occurred?
No, I didn't.
You mean you weren't at the factory on the day of the incident?
I did go there after getting a report.
When was that?
I can't remember exactly.
You mean it wasn't between 4 and 7 a.m.
when the incident occurred?
No, it wasn't.
According to the autopsy result, Lee Jung Wan's cause of death
is presumably from suffocation due to smoke.
That is the first round of opinions.
Considering that his airway and lungs were scorched,
it's highly likely that he suffocated.
And it's assumed that the blunt trauma
on his head wasn't the direct cause of his death.
According to the first analysis report from Bukdong Fire Department,
they're having difficulty figuring out
the source of fire due to the severely damaged site.
Since Building A, where the fire started was completely burnt,
it's hard to estimate where the fire first started at this point.
It's assumed that it'd take at least
a few weeks or a month to get a detailed result.
That's all.
Suffocation?
The service crew hasn't sent the evidence yet, right?
No.
It's Truth or Dare as Chief said.
Gosh, what kind of game is this anyway?
At first, it was the police
and then it was the service crew.
Now it's the car company.
They're all blaming each other.
I'm sure no one wants to take responsibility.
If the cause of death is suffocation due to fire,
the responsible party for his death will be
determined by the reason for the fire.
Was it the star shell fired by the police,
or was it the union's firebomb?
It will take a while to get a detailed forensic result.
Let's look at the first analysis report for now.
Fire forensics is always complicated and challenging.
If the fire doesn't destroy the scene,
the one who put out the fire does.
Delivery.
- I'm from A Security. - Yes.
Thank you.
What is it?
I think it's the evidence from the service crew.
I see.
The evidence from the service crew just arrived.
I'll check and get back to you.
The body was found in Building A.
The union members were chased by the service crew
and the police and came to Building A right here.
I think someone tried to close the fireproof shutter.
But...
why do you think the fire started?
It's either the star shell fired by the police...
or it's the firebomb thrown by a union member.
Or...
was it security?
These bastards.
- Pardon? - Pardon?
Pardon?
- It's nothing. - Okay.
You bastards!
They lost it!
- What is it? - Pardon?
Gosh...
I think it's too much.
- I see. - Yes.
I said I'll go!
Whether it was a star shell, a firebomb, or a piece of metal,
something flew to the window and broke it.
It seems like it went inside and started the fire.
We can't be sure just from the glass shatter pattern.
But...
it looked like it was tempered glass that's hard to break.
I found something strange.
If you look at this photo here,
the glass shatter pattern
looks like the glass
curled outward due to fire.
So it didn't break because something flew in from outside,
but it broke because of the fire from inside?
It seems that way just from the pattern.
Yes.
We found it!
Hurry up, you bastard!
Let go!
Geez!
Let go!
Let's just go!
Listen to me, you bastard!
Shut up, a**hole.
Hey!
- Hey... - Let go!

Kim Won Seok passed out at the time of the incident.
- He was holding on to it... - This is a tough question to ask.
I heard your husband was close to Kim Won Seok...
How could you do this to me?
They were like brothers.
Inspector Bae.
I thinks this is the original.
Who gave this to him?
One thing is for sure. Someone is lying.
You weren't at the scene, and you didn't order the service crew...
You can't prove anything else, but that I was at the scene.
We need your testimony to figure out...
Your hand wound...
He's lying. I was there too.
