Hey!
(An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You'll suffer the same!)
Mr. Huh, do you know where she worked?
No, I don't.
- Which hospital is she headed to? - TL Seoul Medical Center.
Ms. Doh, you're going to come, right?
This isn't just any car accident. I have a feeling.
Sir!
(An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You'll suffer the same!)
Sir... Sir!
Ms. Doh.
If something happens to him, TL won't let it slide.
Sir.
Move it, you jerks! Move!
Move it! Let go of me!
Move! Let go of me!
Let go!
(Emergency Medical Center)
We've arrived at the hospital. Wake up, sir!
- Please say something. - Get him up.
Doh Joong Eun!
- Take him away. - Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Hye Mi!
Please let go of me, you jerks!
Hye Mi!
Let go of me!
Stay in here, you punk.
You worthless jerks. I'm going to kill all of you.
Grab him!
No. Let go!
We're taking away your phone.
No, where are you going?
Where are you going? Hey!
Why are you doing this?
Get in there, you punk.
(Episode 8)
Ms. Doh.
What do you think you're doing?
What are you doing? Let go.
Let go. Let go of me!
Let go of me!
What do you think you're doing?
Mr. Kwon!
- Here you go, sir. - Open this door! Open it!
Mr. Kwon!
Open this door!
Open it!
Open this door!
(Choi Seo Rin)
(To Mommy)
(Doctor Detective)
Dad.
Are you okay?
His vitals are stable now.
It seems like TL's strategy of cutting their prices has succeeded.
Their most recent product, SL5,
has achieved record-breaking sales...
in the Indian and South-East Asia markets.
Also, yesterday, a Chinese conglomerate...
signed a supply contract with TL Display.
Welcome back, sir.
Well done, Mr. Choi.
Our products are being praised from all over the world.
From the mobile to display sector, there's nothing to stop us now.
Congratulations.
Thank you. I'll see you at the meeting.
Yes, Min. I just arrived.
How is Father?
Really? Okay, I'll go straight to the hospital.
I'll be there soon.
How does it feel to be successful after screwing others?
Let go!
Our factory closed down because of you, you jerk!
I'll make you regret this.
Let go of me!
Hey! I'm talking to you!
Let go of me!
Are you okay?
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.
I said let go of me!
- Let go! - Take them outside.
- You punks. - Get them out of here!
- Let's go inside! - Are you all right?
I'm really sorry, sir.
I didn't know he'd come all the way here to protest.
You should've prevented something like this in advance.
I'm sorry, sir.
(VIP Ward)
What were you doing while he got into that state?
I'm sorry.
Tell me what's going on lately.
The VIP Ward trespassing incident...
and my father meeting Doh Joong Eun today.
They're connected, aren't they?
I'm afraid I can't tell you, ma'am.
Why not? Did the chairman order you not to?
He's the chairman of TL.
What if he passes away?
Tell me now.
(Choi Seo Rin)
It's the same handwriting...
as the threatening letter Chairman Choi received.
(Choi Seo Rin)
So?
As of now, I have no choice but to suspect Ms. Doh,
so she's in the warehouse...
Did you lock her in there?
Mr. Kwon, don't cross the line.
Ms. Doh is Seo Rin's mom.
That's true,
but the chairman might have...
met her out of suspicion too.
- Can you check over here? - Okay.
Hye Mi, are you okay? Hye Mi.
Grandpa, get me some water.
Doctor! Hye Mi is awake!
Hye Mi is awake.
She's experiencing delirium.
(A brain impairment that results in excessive behavior)
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
You can't drink that.
- Get a sedative. - Water.
Water!
- Ma'am, calm down. - I'm thirsty!
- Hye Mi. - Wait.
- Please calm down. - Water.
- Grandpa! - Get the sedative!
Grandpa!
Doh Joong Eun.
- What's wrong with you? - Mr. Huh.
Why are you in here? What about Hye Mi?
Is that...
all you can say?
Because of that...
so-called important chairman that you brought,
they refused to treat her.
Even her heart rate was failing.
I didn't expect anything like this to happen either.
- I'm sorry. - No.
The chairman of TL.
What's going on?
How do you know each other?
Mr. Huh.
It's not what you think.
Then tell me.
Tell me...
the truth.
Mr. Huh? You may leave.
Ms. Choi.
I'm sorry about what happened. My father was in critical condition,
so our employees must have made a mistake.
So that's how you know him.
Amazing.
But you made a mistake.
I'm not letting this slide.
Park Hye Mi is in our hospital.
We had her sent back...
as soon as my father got better.
Her ECG results look fine,
and her CT scan says she doesn't have any hemorrhage or fractures.
However, her ribs were a bit damaged due to the hit.
We will be taking legal liability...
for refusing the patient.
We'll take you to see the patient.
Please escort Mr. Huh.
Let's go, sir.
Joong Eun.
Let me apologize, first.
"Apologize"?
What apology?
- It's Hye Mi, not me, you should... - Joong Eun.
Why did you meet up...
with my father alone?
Min.
Are you really suspecting me?
So this is what Mr. Kwon meant when he said,
"TL won't let it slide."
Are you afraid I'd something to him?
I would like to think not,
but he was in perfect shape,
and he vomited blood and passed out all of a sudden.
- You would've thought the same... - No.
I would say, "Thank you."
That he made it thanks to you, and ask if you were shocked.
Then why would he meet a daughter-in-law...
he kicked out himself?
And why would that divorced woman who was kicked out...
go and meet him?
He threatened me. It's what your family does best.
Watch your tongue.
And you should watch who you suspect.
I have nothing left to say.
- Where do you think you're going? - Let go.
You're going to stay here until my father wakes up.
If you don't have anything to hide, that is.
Why? Are you afraid I might do something?
Min... I mean, Ms. Choi.
It has nothing to do with me,
whether your father dies or not.
I don't care.
Take that back.
Hye Mi.
Are you feeling better?
Who are you?
I'm Mr. Huh. Come on...
We met at UDC last time.
I don't know who you are,
but could you turn on the lights?
So you're really going to keep messing with me?
Fine. The lights are all on, though.
They're all on?
Hye Mi.
Do you see this finger?
Do you?
How many do you see?
I don't see it.
I don't see it. Please turn on the lights.
Please turn on the lights.
I don't see it.
Hye Mi.
I don't see it. Please turn on the lights.
We will.
We'll turn them on. It's all right.
I was just joking.
It's all right. I'm sorry.
We thought his bronchiectasis...
was the reason for the hemoptysis, but...
- "But"? - May I know...
what kind of situation he was in before he passed out?
What are you suspecting?
Well, we'll have to see,
but a patient who took pesticides, I mean,
inhaled toxic gases, showed very similar symptoms.
I was wondering if he was exposed to anything.
Did he go anywhere new...
or meet a stranger?
Doctor,
could you run a toxicity test in secret?
We're suspecting...
temporary loss of memory and traumatic optic neuropathy.
Her memory will return soon,
but with her optic nerve, it was extended and reduced...
with the impact on the brain.
We're planning on using a high dose of steroids...
and monitor her condition.
Doctor, could we run an MRI scan?
I need to check something. Please do me a favor.
Wait.
Could you show us the optic nerve again?
There's a decrease in diameter on both sides.
If it's traumatic optic neuritis,
they should be swollen.
There's a high chance that this is poisoning.
That means it can't be turned back.
I think it could be an organic solvent.
You said that she lost her sense of direction, right?
Mr. Huh!
I'm asking, did she get into an accident because she couldn't see?
Yes.
Mr. Huh.
I met Chairman Choi for business reasons.
He started coughing up blood before I could get to the point.
It was an emergency.
How much?
More than 200 to 300cc.
He could have been in danger if it didn't stop.
So many people...
died bloody deaths because of him.
Why did you try to save him?
You should have left him to die.
Is that what you have to say as a doctor?
Why?
Is it different because he's your father-in-law?
What a good daughter-in-law.
He has nothing to do with me anymore.
He has nothing do with you,
but you'd ignore a more urgent patient?
I only did what I had to do, as a doctor.
And it will always be that way.
- Tae Young. - Hey.
How is he?
I think he's coming around.
That's a relief.
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
Mr. Kwon locked her up? Why?
He must have had his reasons.
"Reasons"?
Was she holding poison or something?
We had to consider all the possibilities.
Hey, Choi Min.
Don't hide anything from me.
I'm sure there was something wrong if you're suspecting her, too.
You can't be sure of it, but something did happen,
and you won't tell me?
I'll tell you when I can be sure.
All right.
Make sure no one finds out about Dad collapsing.
Take good care of him.
Okay.
You're...
the only person Dad can trust now.
(TL Seoul Medical Center)
Your immediate family members are the only people you can trust.
Don't ever forget that.
You're the only person Dad can trust now.
(Choi Seo Rin)
Delivery for you!
In the morning,
you like it mild, right?
What brings you here this early? Don't you have to go to work?
The CEO needs to slack off once in a while...
to make his employees happy.
Honey.
You were at the VIP ward for quite a while last night.
Everything is okay with Father, right?
He's fine.
Thanks for the coffee. I'll enjoy it.
(Global Inspection Agency That Leads Innovation)
Ms. Gong.
Thank you.
(Notice of Suspension of Right to Search and Seizure)
The UDC itself was founded based on the loopholes...
in the enforcement regulations,
and abusing the right to search and seizure...
in cases of industrial or occupational accidents...
should rightfully be condemned.
You may conduct your epidemiological investigations.
However, granting researchers police powers...
just because their investigation is obstructed...
is simply unprecedented.
We applied for an injunction before they revise the statutes,
so consider yourself informed.
- Please don't tell... - Got it, ma'am.
Thank you, Mr. Ko.
Hye Mi.
Did you handle any chemical substances recently?
In the past month or so.
I think that's why this happened to you.
If we can identify the substance,
we can change your treatment accordingly.
No, nothing.
All I did was answer calls at the call center.
You all heard, right?
Park Hye Mi. She's experiencing a sudden loss of vision...
accompanied by amnesia.
Because of the car accident?
It may seem that way, but that's not the case.
Even before the accident, there was something wrong with her eyes.
So the vision loss wasn't caused by the accident.
She got into the accident because of her eyes.
Okay. Is there evidence to prove that it's an occupational illness?
I took a look at the MRI scan.
It's optic neuritis caused by poisoning.
It is an occupational illness.
What happened? Did you hurt your hand?
I'm taking boxing classes.
All right. We need to find out where else she has worked.
The poisoning is obviously not from the call center.
With youngsters like her, it's hard to track down their job history.
Most of which would have been temporary, and it's highly likely...
that most of her part-time jobs didn't offer any social insurance.
Ms. Byun, any updates?
Yes, I got her health insurance statements...
and checked the details regarding her national pension plan,
but these only give us information about the past year or so.
Anything from the NTS regarding her income?
It doesn't seem like she had any income...
for the past three months.
- What should we do, then? - Maybe she used apps.
Right, Part-time Zone. The app, Part-time Zone.
She probably did. I've visited employment agencies,
but all the youngsters these days use mobile apps.
Hey, didn't you guys leave the hospital together?
Why come back separately?
Ms. Gong, here.
All right, let's try to dig deeper.
Ms. Gong.
She had over 20 jobs in the past year.
All short-term part-time jobs.
Hye Mi worked at the call center up until a year ago.
Call each of them and look them up on the Internet.
Got it.
Ms. Byun, did you find anything on social media?
Oh, that. Mr. Ha.
Yes, I'm scouring the social media platform now.
I think she used a fake name though.
Let's each name a substance we're suspecting. Joong Eun.
If it's gas, I'd say carbon monoxide.
If it's an organic solvent, I'd say either methanol or ethylene glycol.
Ethylene glycol is a coolant used in automobiles.
Are you saying she worked at an automobile factory?
Even the chairman of the company can't give her that job.
Right. She worked short-term part-time jobs,
so it has to be something anyone can do with a few minutes of training.
Certainly not automobiles. Ruled out.
I got something. I think this girl used to work with Hye Mi.
- Message her before she logs out. - Okay, just a second.
(Kim So Yi)
- What's wrong? - Gosh, she logged out.
(Kim So Yi)
Isn't this Hye Mi? I think it's her.
Yes, it's her. July 23. What's that place?
It looks like Yonghyun Industrial Complex.
Yes, it is Yonghyun Industrial Complex.
Can anyone see this?
Hye Mi applied for five jobs in the past month.
It's got to be one of them.
Let's take a guess. What is that? "G"?
- Geonhwa Staffing. - Geonhwa Staffing.
Hello.
- Chairman Choi is inside, right? - I'm sorry.
What brings you here? You didn't even call.
I have urgent updates for Chairman Choi.
I just need a minute.
Now is not a good time.
What do you mean?
Is he upset because of the recent incidents?
Then I'll come back another time.
No.
Dad said he doesn't want to meet anyone today.
He said...
he doesn't want to meet with me?
That's correct, Mr. Moh.
I think Dad is quite tired.
Really?
By the way, what brought you here?
I depend solely on Chairman Choi's opinion...
with all important decisions made for TL.
How about you consult my brother, then?
You should take this...
as an opportunity to bond with the CEO of the company.
Will do.
(Global Inspection Agency That Leads Innovation)
Mr. Kwon took Seo Rin's letter.
Why? Why did he take it?
I'm here. I only need a minute, so come out.
I heard you met my father.
What happened between you two?
Did he call for you first?
Then do you think I asked to meet him?
- Why did he ask to meet? - Ask him yourself.
No, I must hear it from you.
