(Episode 3)

Budge, you stubborn thing.

Stop trying to make it move.

(The signal is weak. Please try again.)

One moment, sir.

Here is the thing you asked for yesterday.

Let's see.

Darn it.

(Head of Research Ok Cheol)

What was that?

Will you just open?

(Head of Research Ok Cheol)

What are you doing?

Gosh, I'm getting a headache.

I think this is broken.

It won't even budge.

- My gosh. - I'll check, sir.

Please sign this.

This song is for the woman who stole my heart.

The name of the song is "Red Backpack".

Her red backpack

It looks so heavy

I want to carry it for her

Her red backpack

It looks so nice and warm

I also want to be in her arms just like her bag

Not everyone gets to see how attractive she is

She gives foolish boys the red light

But for me, it was love at first sight

She gives me the green light

She's my blue ocean

No one could love her

Because my love, she is so selfish

No one could love her

Because my love, she is so selfish

Red backpack

I think Director Myeong is planning to do something big today.

He gathered all the executives at 7am...

and had a breakfast meeting.

Maybe he wanted to woo them a little before the actual meeting.

We'll be late for the meeting. Let's go, sir.

Let's go ruin their plan.

Yes, sir.

I personally don't like it.

I prefer eating dried persimmons that were slowly dried in autumn.

We need to use this opportunity to ruin Chairman Yoon's business.

We need to completely take control...

so that he won't even think of supporting Yoon Seok Ho again.

We're keeping an eye on CEO Yoon.

He doesn't let anyone near this office.

But it looks like he recently hired a female secretary.

I'll look into it, sir.

Mr. Ok will soon deliver the second round of material.

You just need to continue what you've been doing.

You know what you need to do, right?

Keep the transaction quick, and make sure no one complains.

I'll bring you the money for your dried persimmons...

as soon as I deliver the second batch.

It's best to eat them before spring comes.

Isn't Mi Soon done yet?

No. What's taking her so long?

Darn it. They say the world has become more convenient.

What a load of nonsense.

Gosh, we could've just connected it with a wire.

Then this would've been over by now.

Gosh, my arms and legs are killing me.

Darn it. Where is it? Where?

Let's go. Come on.

Darn it. Please connect.

(Il Kwang Research Center)

(Data backup)

(Top Secret: Round 2 research results)

(Proceeding with backup)

Raise the volume.

Are we here?

- Yes, it's over there. - That's a pretty house.

Here.

Thank you.

See you then.

Is that sea squirt your new boyfriend?

He's a med student, not a sea squirt.

He's going to be a dermatologist, so he can get a chemical peel.

It hasn't been that long since you broke up with that sea cucumber.

I broke up with that guy ages ago.

Stop interfering with my private life...

by comparing the guys I meet with seafood.

How could I not care?

I'm going to become your boyfriend soon.

Get into college first.

If you still feel the same way when you turn 20,

you can come visit me again.

But I bet you'll be the one rejecting me when that day comes.

I'll still like you even when you turn 40.

Do you think I'm crazy?

It's already depressing to think I'd be single at 40.

But you even expect me to date a guy I used to tutor?

She didn't have to get so angry. Hey, wait for me.

Wait for me. Give me your bag.

Here.

Where are we going?

You probably skipped class and waited here.

So I bet you didn't eat dinner.

What do you want to eat?

Ramyeon with rice cakes!

There are a variety of ramyeon dishes to choose from,

but that's what you want again?

Once I like something, I rarely change my mind about it.

It'll taste a lot more delicious if you cook one for me yourself.

Gosh, come on. Be honest with me.

Was that guy really your boyfriend?

That's none of your business.

To be honest, the guy that looked like an octopus...

seemed pretty decent.

He failed the bar exam.

That's why you broke up with him?

Hey, I didn't dump him. He just had no self-respect.

Gosh, that's complete nonsense.

Baek Chan Mi. Baek Chan Mi.

Is there something wrong?

Just leave me alone, will you?

First, bring me the flash drive.

The flash drive.

(Good Casting)

Are you constipated?

I called you ages ago and you showed up 15 minutes late.

I apologize.

The truth is,

I do have severe constipation.

If it won't come out here,

you can deal with it at home.

Okay. From now on, I promise to deal with it at...

Your constipation isn't the issue right now!

What on earth did you do to Kang Woo Won yesterday?

You dare say that...

when you forced me to do a strip show just now?

Then tell this to your superior.

I'm now requesting for four times the money.

Four times.

Why didn't you report right back about your mess-up?

Jung Eun. Are you a spy?

Pardon?

If you're incapable, don't get involved at all.

You're so confident about nothing.

Anyway,

you'd better prepare yourself for when...

the team leader comes back.

Before that,

make copies of these.

Am I exaggerating?

The government gave us 60 million dollars.

How much of our money did we spend?

150 million dollars.

Goodness. For a project that costs over 200 million dollars,

you get all the reports and the results are secret?

Is this a secret nuclear experiment?

The late chairman gave me...

full authority to run the research laboratory.

Everyone present is aware of that.

You just got back from setting up a branch overseas,

and don't know how things are done here.

You're right.

If I'd known how irregular the processes are here,

I'd have returned sooner to set it right.

That's what the late chairman wanted.

Why are you mentioning my father?

It's easy to try to pick apart...

something that's set before you.

The late Chairman Yoon knew that...

which is why he valued and supported the research lab.

That is how our company could grow so large.

That is how...

you went from Head of Research to director,

which is unprecedented.

After I spearheaded the development of lithography technology,

do you know how much our shares jumped?

Five times.

The estimated profit is 4.7 billion dollars.

You alone helped to increase the price of our shares,

so you can spend what you want?

I'm asking for some respect at least.

Since you're being so direct,

I'll speak freely and directly myself.

From now on, all reports regarding the NAND Flash research...

require the CEO's approval.

Director Myeong.

What power does a mere director have?

If that's what you say,

that's what I'll do.

(Top Secret: Round 2 research results)

(Backup complete)

(Il Kwang Research Lab)

(Head of Research Ok Cheol)

I got it. I have a signal.

I got it! At last!

Yes. I got it.

Now stay there.

Stay still.

Oh? It's working.

Team Leader. Ok Cheol's camera is online.

He's not up to much, is he?

No. He's quiet.

I guess Mi Soon got out safely then.

I heard from Mr. Ok.

The package is ready.

He does as he's told.

I just don't like the weaselly fool.

CEO Yoon's new secretary.

What's she called?

Do you mean Baek Jang Mi?

A newbie at this moment? I have a bad feeling about it.

Something smells.

I'll look into her.

Look deeply.

Who knows? We might find a diamond in the rough.

I love you. I love you.

What are you doing there?

Hello, sir.

I'm the new experienced secretary.

My name is Baek Jang Mi.

Ms. Baek Jang Mi?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I think I dropped a pill somewhere.

I don't think you're fine.

Hang on.

This.

I'll get another set of vitamins.

No, don't.

Skipping just one pill won't kill me.

Take a seat.

Pardon?

Sit down.

Do you know why I hired you?

I don't believe...

I saw you in the interview hall.

I had a meeting,

so I observed in my car from a monitor.

I believe that a secretary's duty...

is to help a less than ideal boss...

become a decent person.

Everyone knows that you used your connections to get a job here.

What an odd specialty.

(Specialty: Throwing)

Do you throw things?

I tend to throw things pretty well.

What do you tend to throw?

This and that. Everything.

Are you really 29 years old?

And your name is definitely Baek Jang Mi?

Yes. That's right.

No way.

Did he recognize me?

What a relief.

I wondered.

What does he mean it's a relief?

Is he relieved I'm not Baek Chan Mi?

Did you work for many subhuman bosses?

Oh, I wasn't talking about you, sir.

You got lucky with a very humane boss.

I don't mind...

mistakes or poor work skills.

We're all human.

But I don't keep untrustworthy people close.

I'll remember that.

You should.

I'm quite humane...

and give second chances.

It's Friday. What are you doing tomorrow?

Shall we eat out?

I'd make plans if I didn't have any,

but I really do have plans.

Then shall we have tea after you're done?

I'll come over.

I might stay with the guy if the date works out.

I guess you could tag along.

We'll be working on this mission together.

Don't you think it's time...

to get comfortable with one another?

The worst choice I ever made was...

when I said okay to having dinner with a jerk...

the first time I worked overtime after I got this job.

I had really bad indigestion because he was a senior.

And I ended up falling for that darn jerk...

when he pricked my finger for me to help cure my indigestion.

I had just graduated from college, so I was way too naive.

That's how I was.

I want a full scan of CEO Yoon's computer by tomorrow.

What good will all my hard work do...

when my subordinates can't get their jobs done?

Why am I always the one...

who has to take care of all the dirty jobs?

My gosh, this is so exhausting.

My goodness.

There's no end to this thing.

I can do it.

If I can fit my head inside, the rest will just follow along.

I can do it.

Come on.

What's going on?

Why can't I move?

No way.

Am I stuck?

Can you hear me?

I'm stuck.

I'm stuck in the air vent.

Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me? Hello?

Hello? Oh, no!

No! No!

Hello?

Hello? Is anyone there?

Can anyone help me?

Ok Cheol hasn't done anything suspicious.

Do you think we made the wrong guess?

Maybe he already extracted the file.

Then what should we do?

What do you think? We should stop the transaction.

Here.

I got it from CEO Yoon's computer.

Have it copied as soon as possible.

Without reporting it to the director?

That's why I'm telling you to hurry. We need to give it to him.

Okay, sir.

But why haven't we heard from the others yet?

They should report to me before they get off work.

I haven't heard from Mi Soon...

after she went inside the air vent.

And you still haven't checked?

Ms. Hwang?

It's weird. I think something happened.

Find Mi Soon right now.

They haven't forgotten about me, have they?

You guys.

I'm still here.

Hey, Rookie. Where did you get this?

I couldn't find anything in the security team.

So I just hacked the system.

The last time we heard from Mi Soon...

was at 9:56am, right?

It's about 340m from Mr. Ok's office...

to the air vent exit.

And the fastest one can go inside an air vent...

is 0.5km per hour.

If she moved at the fastest speed...

starting from the moment the security camera was installed,

she should've arrived at the connecting vent...

at about 10:34am.

But the passage is only about 40 inches high.

That's where she got stuck.

Once everyone leaves the research lab,

they sterilize the place...

by releasing sterilizing gas every single hour.

And that's about to start now,

so we need to get her out of there as soon as possible.

She's somewhere near here.

We found where Mi Soon is.

Okay. Now, it's my turn.

- Won't it work? - What's the matter with this?

Wait.

I'm calling from the research department.

We need you here because there's a problem with the security system.

Okay, we'll be right there.

Okay, bye.

Send the girls.

Okay, sir.

Did you call the head office to inspect an error...

with the security system?

I didn't know we had female employees...

in the digital security department.

By any chance,

when did you last update the security system?

Well...

I think we did it last weekend.

The biometric authentication system...

shoots structured light into an infrared sensor.

So every time light goes into the sensor,

it saves even the smallest additional changes.

Therefore, you're obligated to check the server...

when the access rate increases by 20 percent.

Didn't you check?

Well...

Everything was fine even if we didn't check.

I'm sure you were told...

that it'll cost at least tens of thousands of dollars...

if the projector is damaged...

due to repeated errors in the illuminator.

Then you should go ahead and check.

Go ahead.

I'm only asking you to go because you'll find her faster than me.

But be careful.

If I don't get out of there by 6pm,

find the reboot button and press it.

That will ventilate the gas.

6pm. The reboot button.

It's a red button.

Red.

6pm. The reboot button. Red.

Mi Soon.

It's a red button.

Darn it.

What is this?

Mi Soon.

What should I do?

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Catch a tiger by the toe

If he hollers, let him go

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

- Mi Soon. - Is anyone there?

Hello?

- Hello? - Mi Soon?

Is someone there?

Mi Soon, is that you?

Yes, it's me. Please...

Mi Soon.

Can you please get me out of here?

Why are you stuck here?

- Mi Soon. - Get me out.

Hang in there.

I will...

- Mi Soon. - What?

I'm sorry, but...

can you curl up a bit more?

It's not easy to change my posture.

Wait. Let me try.

Is that the Maintenance Team?

I think our ventilation system is infested.

Isn't it time you gassed it?

Pull, pull. Pull hard.

I'm out.

Insecticide gas is released.

Insecticide gas is released.

We released insecticide gas to clean the research lab.

There will be a loud noise for about five minutes.

Please understand.

I'm out at last.

Are all my bones okay?

Am I okay?

You seem to be fine.

Can you crawl out of here?

Yes.

What? What's wrong?

My leg. It's cramped.

What is cramped? Where?

No, not there.

My leg. My leg.

Your leg?

What is that smoke?

Doesn't it smell poisonous?

The gas!

Let's run. Go that way.

Hurry. Move it.

Move quickly.

I hate gas more than anything.

Hurry! Move fast!

Darn it.

Is there a problem?

Oh, no.

It's all fine.

Okay.

Let's go.

Wait. Just a moment!

I pressed the reboot button by mistake.

- I'll check it later. - Okay.

Wait!

My gosh.

What's wrong with him?

My goodness.

Are you all right?

My shoes are half a size too large.

They fly off whenever I run.

What are you doing?

Call someone.

- Wait. - Finally.

It was out of order.

Go on inside. It's fine.

The system is back online.

Since your system is back online,

I should get going.

(Wash and Clean)

Here.

Tracking devices?

Keep that on you even when going to the restroom.

Right. Duly noted.

In an emergency,

press the button for three seconds to activate Code Blue.

Code Blue for me...

is not being able to go home at this hour...

when dinner is long overdue...

at my house.

Would you be able to stomach anything...

after breathing all that gas?

That's already been...

What?

Gosh.

What is it?

Let go of me, darn it!

Let go.

(Chief of National Intelligence Service,)

(Seo Gook Hwan)

(Chief of National Intelligence Service,)

(Seo Gook Hwan)

Who still uses old junk like that?

Yes, of course.

Why won't it come out?

Gosh.

Right.

I'm in possession of the item.

Good. Make sure the delivery goes as smoothly too.

The delivery will be made soon.

Get ready.

They still have a chance.

Let's see.

I feel like I'm dying.

It hurts.

Gosh, I'm aching all over.

You've got this.

You were supposed to take out the recyclables.

Fly bugs will be crawling all over the house.

I can take them out next week.

That's it. What a hit!

Make a run for it.

Run to the base!

To the third base.

- We're winning! - My gosh.

You.

Didn't I tell you that I was...

going to be busy for a few months?

I work my butt off at the office...

only to come to a heap of household chores.

Have you no conscience?

All you do is meet ladies...

and chat with them over drinks.

Then if you're lucky, you get them to sign a contract.

You earn money while laughing around, right?

I'd even pay for a job like that.

Are you serious?

Honey, what's wrong?

Honey...

These are the files from CEO Yoon's computer.

I hear that no one in the NIS can hold a candle...

to your computer skills.

How long until a full analysis?

Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

Let's get married as soon as I finish this job.

I'll man up and meet your parents...

and tell the boss about us.

But you said we should keep it a secret...

until the mission is over.

I don't want to cause you any trouble.

Promise.

Something doesn't feel right.

- What do you mean? - The other day.

The female employee from Il Kwang Hitech...

who was at the studio.

You sent her away by telling her that...

you'll only agree to four times the amount.

Come to think of it,

I think she took photos of me.

So what if she took photos?

But I was naked.

Are you sure she took them?

I don't know which is why I'm asking you to check.

What do you take me for? A secret agent?

It's not like I can just ask her.

Would she honestly tell you if she took the photos?

If she had taken them,

she would've already tried to blackmail you.

This is why you'll never join the big league.

Just because I provide a cushy life for you...

doesn't mean that the world is all rainbows and butterflies.

Do you have any idea...

how many conniving scumbags are out there?

I get it. It's not something...

a blue-collar worker like you would understand.

Of course I know.

Celebrity Kang,

I have errands to run tomorrow.

You don't have any gigs, so could I have the day off?

Are you kidding me?

What about my salad? Who'll feed Poppy?

Who'll give my pets a shower?

Who will do all those chores?

Useless idiot.

(Caller ID restricted)

Yes, it's me.

You have until 9:30pm tonight...

to retrieve the package from 7-49.

Wang Kai will call you once you arrive in Taiwan.

All you have to do is deliver the package.

Will delivering the package to Wang Kai...

be my last task?

If there are no hitches.

Then when will I receive the money you promised?

7-49.

Suraksan Station.

(Suraksan Station)

(Exit 4: Noil Elementary School, Noil Middle School)

The delivery man picked up the package.

Keep tabs on him until he gets on the move.

(Il Kwang Hitech)

(Wash and Clean)

It seems like Ok Cheol already stashed it elsewhere.

Darn it.

(It seems like Ok Cheol already stashed it elsewhere.)

Unbelievable.

So I went to all that trouble...

for nothing?

I doubt he had the time to sell an item...

that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Looking into Chief Tak will lead us to any transactions.

(Looking into Chief Tak will lead us to any transactions.)

We must stop him before the transaction happens.

- Mr. Yoon. - Is that your lunch?

I was waiting for you to return from your meeting.

My apologies.

Right, my meeting.

- Here you go. - Sorry?

It's a welcome gift.

I'm bribing you so that you'll stay with us for years.

So,

how about a meal together?

I tried to negotiate with Kang Woo Won.

What on earth did you say...

to make him ask for four times the original signing bonus?

There was a small but insignificant issue.

There was an issue?

Is it solvable?

Of course, it's solvable.

I mean, probably.

Then reverse the damage.

By myself?

I'm coming from a meeting with Kang Woo Won.

He said...

that he'd only talk to you...

about the details of this contract.

Why?

It must be because of this...

small but insignificant issue only you can solve.

Right.

I'll talk to Mr. Kang and try to resolve this matter...

If you don't, it's over for you.

- Over? - The end.

You know?

Good job on finishing the second round of the research.

Thank you, sir.

Chief Tak will take of the rest,

so focus on the third round now.

Yes, sir.

When will the package be delivered again?

An event will be held in Taiwan the day after tomorrow.

A launching event...

joined by the one and only Kang Woo Won?

The buyer...

will be contacted while he attends the launching event.

I hope there won't be any hitches.

Once the package is delivered,

the money will be picked up from Kaohsiung.

When you do,

keep the amount I promised you as a bonus.

Thank you, sir.

If the third round of research ends successfully too,

a few million dollars would've been worth it.

Do you have anything more to say?

No, sir.

I'll get back to work then.

Since you're here, you should join us for lunch.

I should get working if I wish to finish...

the third round of research on time.

Unbelievable.

What was that for?

Why would you say hello to me?

I'm the one taking the risk...

by moving the package out of the lab.

What for though, right?

It's someone else making the money.

Darn you!

- Goodness, Mr. Ok. - My gosh.

I appreciate your hard work.

Please don't mention it.

It's not like I did much.

We all know that you do the heavy lifting.

I'm glad you know that.

You must've known that I'd be eating here today.

You prepared a feast.

Of course we always prepare something special for you,

but we honestly didn't know that you were eating here today.

Right?

- Of course not. - Of course not.

Mr. Yoon, you like stir-fried fish cakes, right?

Have as much as you want.

Thank you.

Please enjoy.

- Thank you. - Hello, Mr. Tak.

Chief Tak Sang Gi.

Tak Sang Gi is Director Myeong's right-hand man.

It's safe to call him the chief operator.

He's a notable target, so keep tabs on him.

- I should've gotten that for you. - Please sit.

We're all supposed to serve ourselves here.

I only picked up yours while getting mine.

Don't mind me and dig in.

Then I'll enjoy the meal.

Sure.

I eat at the cafeteria on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday...

every month.

I had no idea that you ate at the corporate cafeteria.

I come by often for late-night snacks too.

The head chef here...

makes a delicious ramyeon with rice cakes.

What?

Did I seem like a fake?

CEOs probably look cooler when they look...

audacious and serious.

Not at all.

It's nice to see you care...

about your employees' well-being.

If we ever get to work late,

we should come here for that ramyeon.

Ramyeon with rice cakes!

There are a variety of ramyeon dishes to choose from,

but that's what you want again?

Once I like something, I rarely change my mind about it.

Mind if I join you?

I haven't eaten at the cafeteria in a while,

but it serves delicious food.

Michael!

Forget the law. You're not...

getting out of here alive!

(Armenya scarf 2019 edition)

Why is Chief Tak wearing...

the same brand of scarf that Michael had on?

Take a look inside Chief Tak's office right now.

(Chief Tak Sang Gi)

I was wondering about the new assistant you hired.

We finally meet.

We should get up if you're done.

- Sorry? - I don't want indigestion, you see.

I've lost my appetite too. Let's go.

What took you so long?

I almost died waiting for you.

Where are the files?

I want my money first.

Hand it over.

(Baek Chan Mi)

What a cute little rat.

(Baek Chan Mi, Industry Security Team 3)

It's me.

You have it?

Yes.

Baek Jang Mi's real name is Baek Chan Mi.

That's intriguing.

Tell me more.

Did something happen to your hand?

I injured myself accidentally.

You should've been more careful.

Scars never look pretty on a lady.

Here are the bandages and ointment you requested.

Apply these before it scars.

Get going then.

Let's go.

(Baek Jang Mi)

You must have urgent business...

to be cutting your lunch short.

An unexpected guest is waiting for me in my office.

Chief Tak, ETA, three minutes.

Don't tell me that this is one of her famous hunches.

Baek Jang Mi...

used to work at the NIS.

Her real name is Baek Chan Mi. She's 38...

and was part of Industry Security Team Three.

She was dismissed from the agency...

after failing to capture Michael three years ago.

One of her junior agents Kwon Min Seok...

died during the operation.

(Epilogue)

How did it go with CEO Yoon?

What?

How is he in person?

Handsome, right?

Right, well...

So it's protocol...

to report anyone we have a personal connection to.

That's right. Did you cross paths with someone you know?

Well...

If CEO Yoon was my mark, I would've charmed...

the pants off him.

Did the gas get to your head?

You think I can't do it?

I was the famous Catherine Hwang, you know.

Didn't you know that?

What about your husband?

I'm just saying, you know.

All I do is...

clean restrooms and sweep floors.

I wouldn't mind...

a little eye candy.

You know,

I should've been the one to play his assistant.

See? She's interested in him too.

Right?

That's not what I mean. Anyone can tell...

that Kang Woo Won isn't the culprit.

He's just not capable...

of planning an intricate crime.

Are you saying...

that Yoon Seok Ho is capable since he's smart?

Not exactly,

but he does have the highest level of education.

Don't you know that anyone can look suspicious...

if you watch them...

while considering them as suspects?

Why are you suddenly getting all serious?

I'm just saying...

that Kang Woo Won...

can be the culprit.

Your mark is a globally famous celebrity...

while yours is a rich CEO.

I don't get what you're complaining about.

So what were you about to say just now?

What?

It's nothing.

It sounded important.

She asked about protocol...

Can you get me Kang Woo Won's autograph?

My daughter loves the kid.

I'll at least ask.

Really?

Let me get you a piece of paper.

Where can I find one?

Gosh.

(Good Casting)

She's your new English tutor.

I hope we get along, Seok Ho.

Once you enter Kang Woo Won's house,
