Burn (คนไฟลุก)

Spontaneous human combustion.

There is no way that it could actually happen!

I never thought that...

...medical benefits from my company...

...would put my mother...

...in harm's way.

Where are you?

What is it now, mom?

I forgot the "medical benefits" card at home.

They won't give me my prescription.

How can you forget the card?

Did you tell them that you are covered under

my company's health benefit plan?

I told her, but she needs your employee ID number.

Let me talk to her.

Could you talk to my daughter?

Hello?

That's it. And, don't forget my mother's prescription.

Mom. Wait right here. I'll get your medication.

I promise.

You will make money.

Mona!

Yes.

Why is it that I constantly have to remind you?

Never promise.

Good, I'm glad you remembered.

You never promise.

You never promise!

Or your trip to New York is a thing of the past.

What are you griping about now?

Your rice barrels are blocking my shop, again!

Mali!

Don't you dare move my stuff!

Look, your barrels are on my property!

But they have always been there!

What's the big deal?

How can you be so selfish?

So, are you going to move them or am I?

No, they stay put!

Mom. Mom!

What's going on here?

It's your mom! Mali, where are you going?

We haven't resolved the problem.

How about these barrels? I told you... they stay put!

Hey, that's enough!

Go back to your shop. I'll talk my mom.

Right!

What?

Mom? - Asshole!

When are you going to stop fighting with the neighbor!

I'm so sick of it.

And what is it to you?

OK, just forget it!

How was your visit to the doctor?

It was good.

Mom, do you happen to have some money?

What!

You make all that money!

But you had to spend it all on that damn condo.

And you expect me to live here... like this?

What's wrong with living here?

Mom, how much longer do we live like this?

I've lived here...

...since your birth.

So, are you going to lend me the money?

How much?

I said, how much do you want?

Take care of yourself, mom.

Take care of yourself, mom.

Mom, do you happen to have some money?

You make all that money.

But you had to spend it all on that damn condo.

I've lived here...

...since your birth.

How was your visit to the doctor?

It was good.

Mona.

Sorry, you can't enter.

This is my house. What's going on?

And where's my mom?

I heard you got a driving ticket.

You're a detective of decent rank.

Why didn't you use your "privileges!"

I am a detective.

Therefore, I need to be under the law.

...just like you taught me.

Do you have a meeting with someone?

Not with a reporter.

Wait! You said there are no new developments.

So, how do I write the news?

Like before: "fire accident."

But it's... - How about this!

If we get information, you'll know first.

But... - Stop! End of discussion.

You can leave now!

Well, are you another reporter?

No, I'm here to see detective Don.

Let's go to my desk.

What happened to my mother?

The police determined that it was an accident.

Detective Wang, I think I should talk to her.

Good, I think I should listen!

Today, forensics sent us the report.

There was no evidence of an electrical fire...

...gas explosion...

...or other flammable substances.

I think it might not be an accident.

Here are some pictures.

Don, have some sympathy.

She's already suffered too much.

I invited you here today...

...because you can help further the investigation.

Hi boss, I need the day off.

Don't worry about my work.

I'll finish it outside the office.

More ice please?

Don, let me tell you something.

You don't have to carry the world on your shoulder.

For small cases, let your men do the work.

I want you to be a leader, not a follower.

Make time for other cases too.

We have many of them unsolved.

Yes sir. I still have plenty to learn from you, Wang.

Good, very good.

Did you see?

Where's your partner?

Look!

The fire damage is...

...highly localized, limited only to the center area.

Look around the bed.

What happened to the clock?

Mom died at five A. M.

Fire travels up...

...not side to side.

There is "something" that killed your mother.

Will you be OK?

Yes, I'll be OK. You can go.

Are you sure?

Hey.

Hey.

My name is Kwan. I'm a reporter.

Sorry, I have to go.

Fire consumed your mother,

leaving only arms and legs!

Yet, nobody has an explanation, right?

Have you ever heard of

"spontaneous human combustion?"

Call if you want to know

what happened to your mother.

There is "something" that killed your mother.

Look around the bed.

Fire travels up...

...not side to side.

Fire damage is highly localized,

limited only to the center area.

Relax.

Your mother has gone to a better place.

Do you want to see her face for the last time?

Looks like this corpse was

cremated from another temple.

Cremated, except for head and legs! How?

Never seen it!

Sir?

Can I ask you something?

In all the years as an undertaker,

...have you seen a corpse like my mother's body?

I've been trying to figure out...

...what could possibly do this to your mother.

Actually, nothing should be left of her body.

Like the parts that were burned...

...to ashes!

Our furnace,

burning at more than one thousand degrees,

would leave nothing after five hours.

What time did the police find my mom?

About six thirty A. M.

When the police found my mom,

the fire was already out, right?

Mom died at five A. M.

It can't be possible.

It can't be possible for my mother

to burn to that degree...

...in only one hour.

What are you talking about?

That reporter told me about "combustion."

Spontaneous human combustion.

There's no way that it could actually happen!

Stop.

Stop!

Why is she stopping?

She's about to be cremated. What?

Stop.

Stop right now.

Stop right now!

Deliver the corpse to the Police Hospital.

Take it to Goh, in forensics.

I've talked to him.

Yes, sir.

Take good care the subject.

Hey, hey!
