(Confidential Information)
Sir.
We're getting flooded with inquiries.
What do we do?
I'm sure I sent out a statement you can use.
"They are all harmless to the human body."
Just copy and paste it.
What about the posts that are questioning the product?
Delete them.
There are too many to do that.
Mr. Jung.
Trust me and do as I say.
Yes, sir.
Ma'am.
I need to have a word with you.
Tell me tomorrow unless it's something urgent.
And make an appointment first.
The Mongolian virus...
isn't the cause.
What do you mean?
Are you sure?
I'm telling you this because I thought we should be prepared.
How could TL Chemical make such a mistake?
And why didn't Oshem prevent it earlier?
We should focus on buying time now,
rather than fighting over who is the one to blame.
We need to come up with a way...
to minimize the impact on the company.
- What about the information leak? - I will take care of that.
(Sharp Decline in FAANG)
I heard there's a problem with TL Chemical?
Don't worry, Dad.
Kook Shin will take care of it.
Settle it with Mr. Moh.
Why? We're almost done with it!
I can't hand it over.
I don't trust them! I won't ever hand it over.
We're going to do everything, from putting the ban on the products...
to recalling the products.
Darn it.
The epidemiological survey...
has been transferred to the Ministry of Health.
Are you kidding me?
Why would you give this up? Do you want to mess it up again?
We can't do that, ma'am. We have to finish it.
How can we trust them?
I cannot accept it, ma'am.
How many are we?
Six.
- And them? - 800.
For the past three years,
over two million bottles of this humidifier disinfectant...
were sold.
And this year,
TL added the lavender scent and increased the volume...
and sold 800,000 bottles in a short period of time.
This is going to get complicated and we can't handle it.
Can't we do a joint investigation?
They said our work ends here.
The Ministry of Health will be following up.
Putting the ban on the products, animal testing,
applying legal sanctions, and managing victims.
We can't handle all that.
Il Sun, we should stop the disinfectant being sold.
The Ministry of Health will put the ban on the disinfectant...
based on what we have found.
- I'll be out for a while. - Where are you going?
My job is to support the truth...
you guys worked so hard to find out.
We need to put the ban on the humidifier disinfectant.
We need to enforce it...
before it can harm any more people.
Excuse me. I think you're acting too rashly.
- Daddy! - You're wrong.
You're lacking scientific evidence,
and we still need to establish the facts regarding other factors...
like the minerals from the slime and yellow dust from China.
That is correct. We should first get the results...
from animal testing to prove that the disinfectant caused the disease.
That will take at least three months.
It hasn't yet been proved that...
the disinfectant caused the disease.
Do you want to cause anxiety and fear across the country?
What do you mean, "anxiety and fear"?
I'm just saying we should get rid of the factors...
that could harm people's health.
Are you saying we should regulate a company...
- with uncertain information? - I want to do it.
At a time when the economy is in bad shape?
Are you going to take responsibility?
(Recipe)
(Doh Joong Eun)
The person you have reached is not available.
Do not use the humidifier disinfectant.
- Hello. - Sorry for the late call, sir.
The Ministry of Health gave us a hard time.
And the results?
We've postponed putting the ban on the disinfectant...
until after animal testing.
Good job.
Those jerks!
I knew this would happen.
Didn't it go well?
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy was in favor of TL.
They've postponed putting the ban on the disinfectant...
until after animal testing.
This is just... Are they out of their minds?
They said they need clear scientific proof.
Darn it.
Why didn't you pick up?
How could you make things turn out like this?
We can't wait until animal testing is done.
There will be even more victims by then.
What about the media?
I'm sure Oshem is controlling them.
Listen.
If I did...
At 8pm, Cheongun-dong.
And...
don't tell Joong Eun.
I'll see about that.
Have a great time.
Oh, boy.
Choi Tae Young, that jerk.
There are so many restaurants in Cheongun-dong.
My, this is a nice building.
Gosh, they dined at such an expensive restaurant.
These jerks...
What? Why are you telling us this just now?
You should've made it public right away.
That was my initial plan.
But...
we all know that we should never underestimate Moh Sung Kuk.
What I mean is, it'll be buried right away...
if we go public with it without a really good plan.
That's right.
He'll make sure it won't stir up anything.
We shouldn't...
just give it to the media.
Hold on.
I have a good idea.
Is this recording?
I haven't done this in a long time, so I'm not sure.
Oh, it's working.
Jin Yi, how does it look? Do I look handsome?
It's great.
Nice, it's working. You're ready, right?
Get on with the nagging.
Welcome to "Get Lost" hosted by Ha Jin Hak.
We'll get started, okay?
I'm sure everyone bought the humidifier disinfectant...
because of the virus from Mongolia and fungal problems in summer.
Humidifiers.
The people who made the disinfectant are total jerks.
You jerks who made this,
get lost.
We're disclosing this information for the first time ever.
I invited the man who always generates...
quite the buzz with his frank, straightforward remarks,
Mr. Kim Bong Pal. Let's chat with him and find out more.
Mr. Kim, please take a seat.
(Mr. Outspoken, Kim Bong Pal)
- Hi. - Welcome.
- I'm... What? - All right. let me... Sorry?
Well, I was going to introduce you to...
I'm Bong Pal. Today, I'm here...
to tell you everything about those jerks...
who have been fooling and deceiving the entire country.
You jerks accepted bribes from TL Chemical...
in return for postponing the ban on the products. You jerks!
- I know everything, you rogues. - You jerks.
Hey, you little...
Hey! Fine, I'm Huh Min Ki. I'm Huh Min Ki!
- You crooks! - Hey.
Don't be such jerks, okay?
I mean, how could you do that to people?
Do you not value human life at all?
(Ha Jin Hak's "Get Lost!")
Please, calm down.
Amazing.
- Mr. Kim... - It's hit one million views.
- may be excluded from... - Jin Hak.
Why didn't you tell me that you have 300,000 subscribers?
That's nothing.
It's only a matter of time before this goes viral.
Did you do a live broadcast wearing a swim brief?
- Get lost! - Get lost!
Thank you for your hard work. It was of great help.
It was my pleasure, sir.
I'm truly honored that I can assist you like this.
How would Mr. Moh take it?
He's probably running around trying to sort it all out.
I look forward to your future achievements.
I promise you my full loyalty, sir.
(Ha Jin Hak's "Get Lost!")
(Choi Tae Young)
It's your turn.
(Does Seo Rin use Humi-Mate?)
"She gently brushed the dry leaves..."
"off her little sister's face."
Does Seo Rin use Humi-Mate?
Stop using it.
Could you come in for a second?
(Humi-Mate)
What's the matter, sir?
When did you start using this?
Just a few days ago.
I bought it because of the virus that's going around.
Please throw it out.
And remove it from the humidifier.
Dad.
Dad...
(Don't use the humidifier disinfectant.)
Do Yoon.
Do Yoon? Do Yoon.
Do Yoon. Do Yoon!
Do Yoon, wake up. What's wrong?
Do Yoon! Come on. Wake up.
Do Yoon. It's me, your dad. Do Yoon...
Do Yoon!
Gosh, what's wrong?
Help! Help, please!
- My son can't breathe. - Doctor!
Doctor! Please...
My son can't really breathe.
- Please, hurry! - Bring a stretcher!
Do Yoon...
Take him to the treatment room!
- Coming through! - Make way, please.
Hang in there, Do Yoon.
Call Pediatrics before intubation.
Yes, Doctor.
(Operating Room)
I'll check the monitor.
His heart isn't beating. We have to defibrillate him!
Do Yoon, please live...
I won't be able to go on with my life if I lose even you.
I want to do it.
This is...
something only I can do for you and your mom.
Whatever.
Okay? You understand, right?
(Lee Hyo Jeong)
Mom.
(Lee Hyo Jeong, Kwon Seo Yoon)
Do Yoon, please live.
You have to survive, please.
I figured you'd probably be stressed out.
That's why I wanted to see you.
I guess the UDC...
is causing trouble these days.
Don't worry, sir.
I trust that you'll take care of this...
like you always do with everything else.
Keep monitoring his oxygen levels.
We'll try the CMV method.
Got it.
Do Yoon.
Do Yoon, hang in there.
(Intensive Care Unit, Restricted Area)
He passed the critical stage.
Don't worry too much.
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you so much.
After the video posted by the Undiagnosed Disease Center...
about the danger of the popular humidifier disinfectant...
started going viral, the Ministry of Health and Welfare...
- Get... - finally released...
- lost! - an official statement.
According to Article 11.1...
of the Product Safety Act,
we order a nationwide recall of the humidifier disinfectant.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare has ordered a nationwide recall...
of TL Chemical's humidifier disinfectant, Humi-Mate.
All the products will be pulled off shelves starting today.
The fact that the lung disease, which took so many people's lives,
wasn't virus-related and in fact was caused by the disinfectant...
is causing grave concerns.
- How could you do this? - What will you do about this?
How could you sell something that kills people?
You people killed my grandson.
- Let go! - I will never forgive you!
So basically,
I was...
killing my own son slowly.
Gosh, Do Yoon.
You must've been in so much pain.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry, Do Yoon.
I didn't expect to return this soon.
It's been a while, so it's nice to see you. Right?
I don't know exactly what's going on at the moment,
but I'll sort everything out.
The CEO must step in at a time like this.
No, don't step in.
Min, please trust me this time.
This is our company. I can take care of this.
I wasn't expecting you to be responsible...
and sort things out when I told you to return.
I only did it to keep you under my control.
Don't cause trouble and just stay put.
I'm disappointed in you.
What does Pathology mean to you?
It's about discovering truths. How could you lie...
after studying it for three years?
I already know what awaits TL if it's run by you.
It'll definitely go downhill from where it is now.
Professor.
Don't be disrespectful when you're talking about TL.
One-fifth of this country's GDP is generated by TL.
Now that it's run by me,
I'll be sure to maintain that...
at all costs.
What's up this early?
We have to voluntarily recall all the products...
and apologize immediately.
Am I responsible for that?
Don't you think I'd know...
you and Mr. Moh colluded and got the company in this mess?
Don't do anything rash.
It still needs to be proven scientifically.
Hey, Min.
Seo Rin has been using it too.
If you let it drag out more...
Mr. Moh is just using you. Do you realize that?
Call him now and stop this mess...
unless you want to be summoned to attend hearings.
Why would they summon me?
Then I'll take care of this.
- What are you going to do? - I'll report your husband,
the CEO of TL Chemical, to the prosecution first.
And I'll make him apologize.
If he refuses, I'll apologize to the public on his behalf.
Who do you think you are?
TL will be reborn.
We'll break free from the past...
and stop all the wrong things we've been doing.
That's the TL I've always dreamed of.
Why would you step in when Dad is still alive?
He's 80. His life is hanging by a thread,
completely dependent on doctors' care.
You don't know how ill Dad really is.
You have no idea, right?
Dad.
What are you so angry about?
The fact that you're ill?
You were never fond of me.
Dad. Are you all right, Dad?
Dad, have a seat.
You need to leave, Tae Young.
Dad.
Yes.
Mr. Jung was the one who leaked the information.
Let's stop by the office.
- I have another thing to tend to. - No problem, sir.
Have him sit up.
Yes, sir.
Sure, understood.
Mr. Jung.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Wait, Mr. Moh.
Why are you doing this to me?
If...
If this is due to my incompetence, I will work harder.
No, you may rest now.
Mr. Moh. Sir.
Mr. Moh! Please, Mr. Moh...
Mr. Moh.
(Diagnostic Analysis Result)
Sorry to interrupt.
- Ms. Gong. - Yes.
I need to tell you something.
Go ahead.
The lung X-rays of the humidifier disinfectant victims...
coincide with the symptoms of the foreign worker I treated.
Most lung X-rays look similar, you know.
No. The humidifier disinfectant that's been banned...
and the cutting oil the foreign worker used...
were both manufactured by TL Chemical.
Even you're going to be like this?
You know it doesn't give us the explanation we need.
Why not? It's a good approach.
When you really can't solve the problem,
you can start with your instincts. Go with your gut.
I have to say, it is really strange.
I saw lavender scent on the MSDS of the cutting oil,
which is very unusual.
- And Humi-Mate also contains... - Lavender scent.
Yes.
Her instincts were right.
What happened to the foreign worker?
He died.
From acute respiratory distress due to pulmonary fibrosis.
The humidifier disinfectant is causing the same symptoms.
Joong Eun, do you think...
The substance must have been used in many products.
If it's TL Chemical,
Moh Sung Kuk must have known about it.
Ms. Gong,
this isn't the end of it.
(Research on the Risk of TL Chemical's New Substance)
(Researcher: Kim Yang Hee)
(Doctor Detective)
The results were all fabricated.
They will forget about the humidifier disinfectant.
It ruined all the families who used the humidifier disinfectant.
You'll make TL go under.
I'm trying to save TL, when it's taking a dive.
We are planning on requesting...
the UDC for a search and seizure on TL Chemical.
We're from the UDC. Please cooperate with us.
