Undercover Miss Hong (언더커버 미쓰홍)

UNDERCOVER MISS HONG

That was close.

I know, right?

What happened here?

Who's in there?

Mommy.

- What? - "Mommy"?

What…

Mom.

Daughter.

She's your daughter?

I'm sorry.

The truth is…

My name is Kim Bom, and I'm Kim Mi-sook's daughter.

Did you sneak her in when you moved in here?

No, she was at a children's home back then.

I only saw her on the weekends,

but she became curious about where I lived.

I was planning on keeping her for just one more night.

I told you my chocolate kept disappearing.

Yehppee!

KIM BOM, KIM MI-SOOK'S DAUGHTER 5TH ROOMMATE OF ROOM 301

Only I sensed her.

I'm quite sensitive and perceptive, you see.

Where did you sleep this past week?

I sleep together with Mommy in her bed.

Wait.

In our room?

You didn't know?

So much for being perceptive.

Hold on.

You all remember the orientation from move-in day, right?

The RA made it clear then

that no visitors are allowed under any circumstances.

That kid cannot live here.

Mi-sook, this could get you evicted.

Hey, kid.

What's with the glaring?

Glaring at me won't change a thing!

ROOM 301 ONCE AGAIN!

My mommy has no reason to move out of the dorms.

Of course, she does.

Look, kiddo.

This is the Seoul City Dormitory for Single Female Workers.

My mommy isn't married.

My mommy is a single mom, and she's a single female worker.

Single mom?

What about her father?

He's been unreachable since I told him about the pregnancy.

How terrible.

I don't have anyone to look after her while I work,

so I was planning to have her stay at a children's home

just until she starts school.

I moved in here so I could save as much as possible until then.

I'm sorry for startling you all.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

You're still too young yourself.

But still,

child-rearing challenges and dorm rule violations

are two separate issues.

Have you no compassion?

I can't believe kids nowadays.

We could all end up in trouble if we're caught and grilled.

What trouble?

Are you hiding something?

No.

It's your RA.

Room 301, open this door immediately.

I told you!

Hide her.

Hide inside.

Go. Hurry.

I heard some shouting earlier.

"Hey! Glaring at me won't change a thing!"

Gosh.

Hong Jang-mi

started a fight with her

after gobbling up all her pricy chocolates in the fridge!

They're really expensive.

I was saving them to savor each bite.

No, I can explain.

She's got sticky fingers.

Well, not terribly sticky.

Just a bit.

Ms. Hong Jang-mi.

That's two demerit points for you.

What?

Wait, five gets you evicted.

And I get two, just like that?

STATEMENT OF REMOR…

Ms. Hong Jang-mi.

You can erase one demerit point by writing a ten-page statement of remorse.

How could I have remorse when I did nothing wrong?

I'm really sorry, Jang-mi.

I know this may sound shameless,

but could you just let it slide until the end of the year?

That's when the exam for full-time employment is scheduled.

If I pass, I'll be eligible for an internal company loan,

and Bom and I could find our own place.

I'll write that remorse statement.

I'll also make sure to teach Bom to stay out of the way...

No.

That would be breaking the rules.

Besides, what would you teach her?

To be wary of others and hide?

To be invisible?

I'm sorry.

Hong Jang-mi, could your words cut any deeper?

Even the King of the Underworld would show more mercy than you.

Hey, add your two cents too.

Perhaps we could strive for a warmer sense of communal living...

You all helped me keep my job, and I'm thankful for that.

That's why I'm letting it slide today.

But by tomorrow…

I'd like the kid gone.

Room 301.

We've received a report that some residents

climbed the wall after curfew last night.

- Pardon? - Us?

- It wasn't us. - Really?

Where's Mommy?

She'll be here soon. Let's wait for her together.

I'm not kicking you out because I don't like you.

We have rules we must follow at the dorms,

and adults have circumstances they can't talk about.

I hope you can understand.

Please take good care of my mommy, ma'am.

"Ma'am"?

Bom!

Mommy!

Weren't you scared? Are you okay?

- You didn't get hurt, did you? - No.

- You must be hungry. - Yeah.

What should we have for breakfast?

- I want jelly. - Oh yeah?

Shall we have some jelly then?

Let's go and get some.

READY OR NOT, HERE I COME

Listen,

having to deal with outsiders who have a distorted view of our company…

It's so tiring.

When you're doing well, people get jealous and resentful, don't they?

I, Oh Deok-gyu, am a man of simple desires.

My only wish is to lay solid groundwork

and polish it until it shines for when Albert inherits the company.

You know?

For that to happen,

I need your help, Mr. Nam. You get me?

I'm at your service whenever, sir.

Whenever.

Is that so?

Let's have a drink. Cheers.

- Thank you, sir. - Drink.

So,

have you got any news for me?

I need to present the chairman with something ironclad.

- Actually, sir… - Yeah?

There's a rumor that we've planted a spy in Hanmin.

- A spy? - Yes.

- You mean an infiltrator? - Yes, that's right.

There's no way that President Kang was working alone

to blow the whistle on the company.

So who is it?

How would I know?

Sir, I've got news.

Yesterday,

I managed to acquire some intel from a trustworthy source at the FSS.

Get to the point already.

Right.

I heard

there is an infiltrator in our company who helped President Kang

prepare to blow the whistle.

An infiltrator?

That's right.

Well, I guess with the prosecutor's probe dropped

and President Kang's accident,

they may have already left the company, but…

We do have a way

to confirm it.

Did you look into it?

The employees President Kang had the most contact with before the accident.

Yes, ma'am.

From January 1st, 1997,

until July 21st, the day before the accident,

he frequently met with three employees in his office.

Mr. So Gyeong-dong of Trading,

Mr. Bang Jin-mok of Risk Management,

and Mr. Cha Jung-il of Research.

So-Bang-Cha.

SO-BANG-CHA

WHISTLEBLOWER = INFILTRATOR

They're our three candidates then.

This should be kept top secret.

When it comes to weeds,

you must pull them out by the roots

and burn them to a crisp.

If you don't,

they will only grow back and ruin the whole field.

Executive Director Oh.
