Toxic (공기살인)

This film is based on true events that took place in Korea, 2011

Honey, wake up and have breakfast.

You'll be late for work.

Honey!

What the...

What's that!

Honey, what's this!

You wanted to drink with him.

Holy cow...

Who did I drink with...

I didn't drink much.

All right, all right.

I drank with In-ho, why is that here.

Pollack soup...

- You could open a diner. - Jeez...

Min-woo's not eating?

He's under the weather.

I wanted him to sleep in.

Yeah?

Then bring him to the hospital.

I'll give him a closer look.

It's fine, you're busy.

I don't want us to be a burden.

If it gets worse, I'll take him to a clinic here.

They're good too.

Dad.

Hey, good morning.

Don't be sick, it hurts me too.

Okay.

When you're better, let's go to the amusement park.

- Really? - Sure.

- Promise. - Promise.

Get some more sleep.

You have to get better.

Hankook Hospital

I'm so starving.

- Having your lunch now? - Yeah, sit down.

I'm so sick of this hospital, I should really quit.

Why are they increasing operating rooms

when we're short on surgeons.

Are we machines?

You can't even file a proper complaint,

shut up and eat up.

You got another surgery.

There are always surgeries.

Your sister-in-law's really popular.

She was trending with new articles.

- Young-ju? - Yeah.

You little prick!

Did that hurt?

So keep your dick inside.

I'll castrate you next time.

Supreme Court prosecutor Han Young-ju

is trending online.

It's due to her attack on a sexual predator,

who is said to require a long treatment.

Han Young-ju!

Where's Han?

She's on the field on an assignment.

Tell that moron to come directly to my office, got that?

Certainly, straight to your office!

He's gone.

You can come out now.

I thought I was dead.

Shall we go out for lunch?

Short rib soup on me.

- Deal! - Me too!

- Hurry, hurry. - Short rib soup sounds so good.

You're talking about the diner nearby, right?

The broth is...

Good day, Chief Prosecutor Lim.

You got appetite to eat short rib soup right now?!

You all are the same.

Everyone, come with me!

Is Min-woo okay?

He got better, and went swimming.

I don't know why Young-ju's causing so much trouble.

She's coming by this weekend,

so give her a good scolding.

What for?

She did something good for the world.

I'm going to be late today,

have dinner with Min-woo.

All right, don't skip dinner.

Okay.

Time to prepare snack...

Min-woo, you're not sick anymore?

Nope! I'm not sick at all!

Don't be sick.

It's so boring without you.

Yup, okay!

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Okay, jump jump!

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

TOXIC

Emergency Room

Min-woo.

What happened?

I don't know.

The coach called me and said he passed out.

Is he going to be okay?

Doctor, his breathing rate is dropping!

This is bad, we have to get him to surgery now!

If we stall any longer, he may go into cardiac arrest!

Okay, then I'll come in with you.

Please, no, Min-woo...

Easy, be careful!

Min-woo...

I'm sorry, you can't go any further.

Operating Room

So, what happened?

Is Min-woo okay?

Tae-hoon, should I talk to her?

No, I'll do it myself.

Thank you.

Why are you stalling?

Let's go to my office.

We can talk there.

See this white region.

That's Min-woo's lung.

His lung is hard

as a rock.

It's likely acute form of pulmonary fibrosis.

What?

What happened to Min-woo's lungs?

Whatever, I don't care,

what's the treatment?

Can it be treated?

Can he recover with treatment?

Min-woo.

Mom's here.

Could you look at me?

Honey, can I see him inside?

I want to see him just for a moment.

Gil-ju, it's not possible right now.

Let's check his condition in the morning.

Min-woo,

Mom's here.

Open your eyes.

Please look at me.

Oh no...

Are you okay to drive?

I'm fine.

I'm just going to pick up a few things for him.

So watch over him until then.

No need to hurry, drive safe.

Will he be okay?

Don't worry, he'll be fine.

I'll be back.

Min-woo will love this.

Gil-ju, it's me!

Gil-ju, I'm here!

Min-woo,

I brought your favorite robot?

Eh?

Are you in here?

Gil-ju!

Hey! Wake up!

Gil-ju! Wake up!

Gil-ju!

What's wrong?!

Gil-ju! Hey!

Tae-hoon...

What do we do...

Honey...

Gil-ju.

Why are you like this?

You said you'd be back...

Don't kid around and get up.

This isn't funny...

Gil-ju...

What about Min-woo...

Funeral Home

Deceased: Han Gil-ju

My deepest condolences.

What was the cause?

Something must've come up by now.

Pulmonary fibrosis, same as Min-woo.

2/3 of her lungs...

were already hardened.

Can it happen so suddenly?

She didn't look sick at all.

It looks to be at least a year...

How could I have not known...

Wait a minute.

What did you just say?

At least a year?

Are you sure about that?

Even if it's an acute form,

it can't progress that rapidly.

Then something's wrong,

something's not right!

We didn't say anything so that you wouldn't worry,

but she and I had a full check-up 5 months ago here,

but they never mentioned any symptoms like that.

Radiology

You were right.

Her lungs were clean without any traces of fibrosis.

We can't send her off like this.
