Yeong ro Helping Soo Ho As Best As She could

Yeong-ro starts smuggling food and supplies to Soo-ho, and even comes up with a knock code so that he knows when she has come to see him. He asks her for batteries, saying that he wants to use the radio he found to listen for news of his fellow student protestors. Little does she know, he’s been secretly tampering with it.

Much like their husbands, Hong Ae-ra (Chang-su’s wife) and Cho Seung-sim (Tae-il’s wife) are locked in a power struggle. Gyeong-hui’s wife, Choi Mi-hye, does her best to suck up to Seung-sim at her birthday gathering, wanting to secure a lifeline within the party. She’s also pressured Gyeong-hui to do the same with Tae-il.

Meanwhile, Tae-il gets a check-up from his doctor/mistress, Kang Chung-ya. Chung-ya even provides Tae-il with a gift to take home to Seung-sim, having guessed he would have forgotten her birthday.

One day, the dorm’s student president, Shin Gyeong-ja, hears the library ceiling creak above her head as Soo-ho shuffles around. A chair gives in when he sits in it and the crash has the girls in the library scampering away before a ghost can make an appearance.

The university campus opens to visitors on Saturdays, but the dorm has a strict female visitor only policy. Yeong-ro’s brother, Yeong-u, has pulled some strings to come see her. He heads around the side of the dorm and shouts for her. Soo-ho also hears from the cabin where he’s been making notes on the ANSP agents’ movements, and watches as Yeong-ro rushes to embrace her brother.

That night, as Yeong-ro tends to Soo-ho’s wounds again, he has a flashback to his own sister Su-hui. In it, Su-hui gifts him the pigeon pendant necklace and tells him to find his way back to North Korea. Soo-ho tells Yeong-ro about the pendant’s origins and she’s relived, having thought it was a present from another woman.

Yeong-ro uses the bath in the cabin to wash Soo-ho’s used bandages. She doesn’t notice the water leaking from the tub into the floor drain. It swells through the library ceiling and drips onto Gyeong-ja’s desk.

Gyeong-ja alerts the matron. Taking Man-dong along with them, they head to the cabin to investigate. Bun-ok shadows them, eager to find a spy to turn in.

As they approach, Yeong-ro is drawing a rough map of the dorm for Soo-ho. Man-dong makes a show of pretending to unlock the cabin, coughing and muttering to alert Soo-ho and Yeong-ro to their presence. Unfortunately, there’s no way out.
