BIG MOUTH

THIS SHOW IS A WORK OF FICTION

THE EVENTS AND ENTITIES
THAT APPEAR HEREIN ARE FICTIONAL

(suspenseful music)

ON AIR

Opening. Cue.

MODERATOR:
The 8th election to decide by popular vote

on the next person to lead Gucheon
for the next four years

is only one month away.

Today,
we have invited the three candidates

to discuss their policies and pledges

as well as
verify their talent and abilities.

Hello. I'm Candidate Number Four,
Park Changho, an independent candidate.

CHANGSUB: Hello.

I'm Candidate Number One, Lee Changsub,
for the Democratic People's Party.

Hello.

I'm Candidate Number Five, Choi Doha,
an independent candidate.

MODERATOR: Okay.
Let's start with your opening statements.

Candidate Choi, please start.

I would like to start off by apologizing
to the respectable citizens of Gucheon.

When I first became mayor four years ago,

I made a pledge to make Gucheon
the best city in all of Korea.

Unfortunately, I failed to make Gucheon
first in a few areas.

I decided to run for mayor again

in order to keep that promise.

(tense music)

CHANGHO: Gucheon belongs to its citizens.

It doesn't belong to a few authorities

who claim they made Gucheon
what it is today.

I decided to run for mayor

to fight against those people
and return Gucheon to the people.

(guards screaming)

What is that? Hey, stop them!

GUARD: Get out of the way!

(music intensifies)

(tires screeching)

(indistinct shouting)

(indistinct shouting)

(groaning)

(tense music)

(music stops)

-A queen will make you fold...
-(door closes)

(man shrieks)

We're in trouble!

-My gosh!
-What is it?

There are gangsters outside
trying to get in!

Why would gangsters want to get in here?

(glass shatters)

What is this?

Hey, Mr. Yeom! You...

(banging on door)

(shrieks)

(doorknob clicks)

(gasps)

(tense music)

MUNMI FISH FARM

MAN: Hey, no one's here.

(thudding)

Nobody's here.

-(loud clang)
-(man yelps)

My gosh.

-Come here!
-(man whimpering)

What are you doing?

Why are you doing this? What is this?

Let go of me! Who are you?
(groans)

CHANGHO:
Let me ask Candidate Choi a question.

You know what the NR Forum is. Right?

-Yes.
-CHANGHO: I'm sure you do.

You're one of its key members.

While you were mayor, in the process of
licensing government-ordered construction,

you gave companies in the NR Forum
a lot of preferential treatment.

There was no such thing.

They were chosen
through a fair bidding process.

All the companies that participated
in the bid were part of the NR Forum.

They agreed upon a price in advance
and won the bid in order,

and the city didn't restrict
or investigate it. That was fair?

I'm disappointed that you doubt
the fairness of the process.

However, do you know how much profit

the city made during my term?

All of those funds
were used for the people.

Disparaging a successful policy project
without any evidence...

The profit the city made was significant.
I acknowledge that.

But according
to the documents I received...

the net profit made by the companies

was significantly higher
than what the city...

-MODERATOR: You're out of time.
-Right.

Candidate Lee, please ask your question.

CHANGSUB: Right.

Let me ask Candidate Park Changho.

Gucheon came in first place
in a lot of areas.

But some of them we fell short.

Do you know what they are?

(tense music)

(clanging)

Who's in charge here?

Gosh, I'm not in charge...

(man groans)

Why are you doing this to us?

It wasn't my intention to go this far.

(bottle cap clicking)

Have some water and calm down.

(suspenseful music)

(gulps, exhales)

(music fades)

Who... sent you people?

Nobody sent us.

We came to find out some things
we're curious about.

Then...

You could've talked it over.

-Why did you have to go...
-This fish farm.

What's its relationship with NK Chemical?

(clears throat)

Give me a thorough answer
to everything I ask you.

What are you talking about?

What kind of connection

does NK Chemical have with us
for you to do this?

(tense music)

MIHO: The groundwater
that they use in the fish farm...

Did someone say that water
is from a chemical plant?

Nobody said that.

So, the water is from a chemical plant?

I don't know anything about that.

Kill me or let me go.
Do whatever you want to me! Do it.

That groundwater...

Just as we call it.
It's water we get from the ground.

It's drinking water!

-(exhales)
-Then you should be fine.

I got that water from there.

(gurgling)

MAN: Call 911.

Get me an ambulance.

(gurgling continues)

-You said it was drinking water.
-Please save me.

I need to go to the hospital.

(man gurgling)

I brought this water from home.

(Miho grunts)

This contains that groundwater.

(tense music)

If you don't tell me truthfully

what's happening here,

I'll really make you drink this.

FISH FARM C

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

(scoffs)

You people...

used wastewater in the fish farm.
Didn't you?

(sighs)

(tense music)

Yes?

YEOM: Gangsters showed up here.

Calm down and tell me what's going on.

Who brought gangsters with them?

A woman? Who is she?

YEOM: I don't know.

This woman... knows about the wastewater.

What?

MAYOR CHOI: Okay.
Let me ask Candidate Park a question.

You know about
the cryptocurrency fraud case. Right?

You were in charge
of the plaintiff's counsel.

Yes.

There is a suspicion
that you received money

from the suspect
and lost the case on purpose.

That's fake news.

If it's true,
will you withdraw from the election?

(exhales)

I don't know who spread
such false rumors, but I will find them

and make them face legal consequences.

MAYOR CHOI: Candidate Park.

If true,

will you withdraw from the election?

(suspenseful music)

Of course.
I will take responsibility and step down.

(tense music)

Who attacked the fish farm?

I'm sure it's Park Changho.

Who else would be bold enough
to do such a thing?

Shouldn't we tell Mayor Choi?

How can we do that
during a live broadcast?

It's not like we can do anything about it.

Can you get some guys right now?

-What?
-The guys Mayor Choi uses in an emergency.

-I just need to make a call.
-Get them ready.

We need to stop them
before they do anything.

Mr. Cho and I will go,
so you stay here. Okay?

CHAEBONG: Let's go.

(exhales)

(tense music)

(door closes)

The fish farm?

How did you find out about it?

Ms. Ko found out.

JERRY: Hello? Are you listening to me?

Yes.

So did you find anything?

This thing is huge.

If we get this out,
Choi Doha will be ruined.

Keep me updated on it.

And give me the sign if you need backup.

(phone beeps)

-Mr. Ko.
-Yes?

When the sinkhole accident happened,

weren't the drainpipes from a fish farm?

-Yes.
-Are you sure it's groundwater?

Everyone in the neighborhood
knew about it. Why?

Never mind.

How boring. Let's go inside.

(ominous music)

(door opens)

(door closes)

CHANGHO: Are you aware that Gucheon

has over 20 times more cancer patients
than any other city?

Moderator, please change the topic.

Candidate Park, please only ask questions
regarding policies.

This is regarding his policies.
Please hear me out.

The Special Substance Management Bill.

You are fighting to repeal
the Special Substance Management Bill.

Yes, that's correct.

MAYOR CHOI: If that bill gets passed,

tens of thousands
to hundreds of thousands of people

will end up losing their jobs.

You should come up with policies
to secure the jobs

of those people before you ask me...

If this bill gets passed,

NK Chemical will suffer the biggest loss.

You are a major shareholder
with 36 percent shares in the company.

CHANGHO: The number of cancer patients...

-MODERATOR: Candidate Park.
-I still have time left.

CHANGHO: Are you aware that there
are 20 times more cancer patients here?

What do you think about the claims
that NK Chemical is the cause?

(tense music)

You're free to think what you want,

but when you slander someone,
it becomes a crime.

I'm sure you're aware of this
since you practice law.

Up until now, NK Chemical

has made profound contributions
in the development of Gucheon.

Yes, I'm aware.

It's all thanks
to an innovative new substance called NF9.

(ominous music)

CHANGHO:
I don't deny that with the use of NF9,

semiconductors, cars,
and various electronic devices

have made rapid development.

However, there was someone who claimed

large doses of radiation were discharged
in the refinement process of NF9.

"NK CHEMICAL'S LAB DIRECTOR,
CHO HAESOO, COMMITS SUICIDE"

This is a newspaper article
from the Woojeong Daily in 1992.

CHANGHO: To summarize the article,

it says that the first developer
of NF9, Cho Haesoo, committed suicide.

Up until his death, Cho Haesoo made claims

of the danger
of radiation discharge from NF9.

(ominous music)

2022 GUCHEON MAYORAL ELECTIONS
CANDIDATE DEBATE

MODERATOR: You're out of time.

Candidate Choi.

MODERATOR: You may ask your questions.

(breathes heavily)

(music intensifies)

(breathes deeply)

(music stops)

The groundwater

is wastewater...

from the chemical plant.

(suspenseful music)

The refinement process of NF9
generates wastewater,

and a large dose of radiation
is mixed in with it.

MAN: The fish farm was made as a facade
to dispose large amounts of wastewater

into the ocean.

We don't distribute the fish
and dispose all of them.

(device blaring)

NK Chemical must pay you
to get rid of the water.

Yes.

How do they pay you?

Through a trade company in Hong Kong.

And that company
is obviously a paper company.

Yes.

Go through this fish farm
and load up everything

that can be used as evidence.

(tense music)

CLIENT DISTRIBUTOR LIST 3

These are their accounting ledgers.

It has the money transfers
from the paper company.

(ominous music)

ACCOUNTING LEDGER

Do we go to the police now?

No. Let's go to the TV station.

-The TV station?
-They're doing a live broadcast.

Why?
Are you going to reveal everything there?

(fast cars approaching)

Who are they?

Hey. You should go first.

I'll stop them.

Hurry up and go! Go.

Hey. Stop them.

(tense music)

(engine revs)

(clamoring)

Those little punks.

What? That...

Hey. Go after them!

(tires screeching)

(music intensifies)

It's Ko Miho. I saw her myself.

They already went through the fish farm.

What?

I think they're going to the TV station.

You have to stop them.
Those are bombs they're bringing.

(panting)

I'll call the police.

But will it be okay?

If those documents get out,
we're totally screwed.

I have connections with the police.

Let's stop Ko Miho first
and think about what comes after later.

(phone vibrates)

DOOGEUN: Yes.

NEW MESSAGE

JERRY:
WE TOOK CARE OF THINGS

KO MIHO

Hello, Miho.

Did you get the video?

This video...

Choi Doha's people have been
illegally dumping wastewater.

(sighs)

I want to reveal this on the live show.
Is there a way to do that?

SOONTAE: Will you do it yourself?

I'm confident I can land a big blow.

Come as a citizen representative.

Aren't all the spots filled?

I can make a spot.

I'll do that.

(pensive music)

We're being followed
by Choi Doha's minions.

Can you get rid of them?

Okay. I'll take care of it.

(phone beeps)

(music intensifies)

PARK YOONGAB

(line dialing)

Hello, Chief. It's been a while.

(scoffs)
Yes.

I have a favor to ask you.

I need you to do something for me.

Yes.

(indistinct radio chatter)

INSPECTION, PLEASE COOPERATE

(tense music)

The car is coming.

(siren wailing)

(siren wailing)

-(wailing stops)
-(music stops)

(tense music)

They've already been dispatched.

Goodness. They're incredibly fast.

My gosh. I can relax now.

(laughing)

-(music fades)
-(window whirring)

I'll escort you. Follow me.

(upbeat music)

(siren wailing)

You can relax until we get there.

POLICE, INSPECTION

(indistinct murmurs)

(siren wailing)

(Chaebong mutters)

What...

(music intensifies)

(gasps)

What's going on? Darn it.

(upbeat music)

Hey! Move the cars!

Okay. Good job.

OFFICER: You don't need to worry.

(music rises)

(siren wailing)

(music stops)

DAD

(phone vibrating)

DAD

Hey, Dad.

Hi, daughter.
I thought you said you were coming.

I'm on my way.

KIKWANG: Did you watch the debate?

Changho's doing a great job.

KIKWANG: His opponents are good too,

but he's doing better than I expected.

(Kikwang laughs)

Dad.

(somber music)

I'm really happy right now.

KIKWANG: So you saw him?

Changho looks really good on TV too.

KIKWANG: My son-in-law's so handsome.

(laughs)

Remember this.

Your daughter...

is incredibly happy right now.

Okay.

I'm so happy to hear that you're happy.

(Kikwang laughs)

I'll be there soon.

KIKWANG: Okay. Get here safely.

Okay.

(sniffles)

(phone clicks)

(laughs)

What did Miho say to make you laugh?

Gosh. She said she's happy.

She never says those things.

(Kikwang laughs)

My goodness.

(ominous music)

STAFF

Hey, that's...

KIKWANG: Those people...
Isn't that the cryptocurrency scam artist?

He's on the citizen representative panel?

That's cheating.

Choi Doha had a card up his sleeves.

We can't let this be.
We have to protest and get him out.

Mr. Ko.

-Let him be.
-Hey. What if he says something stupid?

Then the debate will be over.
That's what they're after.

We have a card up our sleeves too.

-Sir.
-Do what I say.

What if we get disciplinary action
for allowing a candidate's wife to go up?

I'll take that punishment. Okay?

(suspenseful music)

LIBC DOES ITS BEST IN BROADCASTING
TO EARN THE TRUST OF THE PEOPLE

What happened?

She can go on.

(tense music)

(keypad clacking)

(phone vibrates)

ATTORNEY KIM SOONTAE

When Ms. Ko Miho speaks, play that video.

Okay.

(music intensifies)

MODERATOR:
This is the last corner of this debate.

We'll have the citizens
question the candidates themselves.

Who will go first?

Right. Go ahead.

(mic echoes)

I'm Min Byungnam,
a small business owner in Gucheon.

Candidate Park. Do you remember me?

(sighs)

I'm not sure.
I'm sorry, but I don't remember...

Right. I'm sure you wouldn't.

Do you remember the five billion won
you got from me?

-WOMAN: What is he saying?
-MAN: He got money from him?

WOMAN: That's a lot of money.

I'm not a good person.

I'm currently under investigation
for running a cryptocurrency scam.

I can get punished for my crimes,

but someone who will govern our city
should be different.

BYUNGNAM: That's why I came here today.

I want to tell the people
who Park Changho really is.

I didn't expect Choi Doha
to use him like that.

(Jihoon exhales heavily)

He put up a good fight.

Will Park Changho go down like this?

Did you say your name was Min Byungnam?

Who gave you orders
to make false claims here?

In this notebook,

I have the serial numbers of 10,000
50,000-won bills.

That would be 500 million won
out of the five billion I gave you.

(exhales sharply)

If you compare it to the five billion won

the police seized from your office,

it will prove who's lying right now.

Zoom into Park Changho.

Big Mouse revealed
that the five billion won was his money.

(scoffs)

BYUNGNAM: You're Big Mouse's attorney.

Isn't that a story
that's easy to agree on?

(tense music)

Hey, Miho.

-Dad.
-Ms. Ko Miho?

(Miho panting)

What's this about you being a hidden card?

An election...

is more about creating rapport
with the people

than it is competition among candidates.

You said you'd withdraw if the suspicions
about the cryptocurrency scam were true.

I believe this opportunity...

(suspenseful music)

I believe this opportunity...

is the last chance for Candidate Park

to fulfill his duty to the people.

Please withdraw from the election,
Candidate Park.

The truth will be revealed,

and the decision will be made
by the people.

(sighs)

MODERATOR: Let's bring up
the next citizen. Who will it be?

My name is Ko Miho.

(music fades)

I'd like to ask Candidate Choi a question.

Sir. That woman is Candidate Park's wife.

Please revoke her right
to participate in the panel.

Candidate Park. Is she your wife?

I'm not here as Mr. Park Changho's wife,

but as a victim of the radiation

leaked by NK Chemical.

(pensive music)

KIKWANG: What is she saying?

What do you mean Miho...

was exposed to radiation?

I haven't told my husband this yet either.

On January 12,

an underground drainpipe exploded
due to a sinkhole accident...

(sprinkler pouring)

...and there...

I was exposed to radiation there.

Currently...

(dramatic music)

...I've been diagnosed as terminally ill
with acute stage-four lymphoma.

(crowd exclaim)

(chuckles)

(crowd murmuring)

(inaudible)

(sniffles)

MODERATOR: Ms. Ko Miho. I'm sorry,

but this isn't a place to discuss
your personal situation.

(sniffles)

I have also prepared a video.

Please play the video.

(music stops)

The groundwater...

NK CHEMICAL ILLEGALLY DUMPS
WASTEWATER INTO FISH FARM

...is wastewater

from the chemical plant.

The refinement process of NF9
generates wastewater,

and a large dose of radiation
is mixed in with it.

(ominous music)

MAN: The fish farm was made as a facade
to dispose large amounts of wastewater

into the ocean.

We don't distribute the fish

MIHO: NK Chemical must pay you
to get rid of the water.

MAN: Yes.

MIHO: How do they pay you?

MAN: Through a trade company in Hong Kong.

MIHO: And that company
is obviously a paper company.

MAN: Yes.

(suspenseful music)

(exhales sharply)

NK CHEMICAL'S WASTEWATER
CONTAINS RADIATION...

MIHO: NF9 was developed in 1992.

For the past 30 years, NK Chemical

has been illegally dumping
wastewater with radiation into the ocean.

As a result, tens of thousands of citizens

have died or suffered from cancer.

Candidate Choi, isn't this the reason
why you want to repeal

the Special Substance Management Bill?

(exhales sharply)

(exhales)

Zoom into Choi Doha.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

If the contents of that video are true,

I request that the prosecution
investigate this case without sanctuary.

MIHO: Choi Doha,
you are behind every case of corruption.

It'll be revealed soon.

(tense music)

(mic thuds)

(music intensifies)

ON AIR

(music fades)

(pensive music)

(door closes)

(exhales)

What on earth were you doing

while Ko Miho was making that?

(phone vibrating)

Hey, Juhee.

(sighs)
Don't worry. I can take care of it.

Go on in. I'm sorry.

-REPORTER 1: He's coming out.
-REPORTER 2: There he is.

REPORTER 3: Where's Ms. Ko Miho?

Is it true that your wife

is preparing a class action lawsuit
with the victims of radiation?

REPORTER 4: Are you sure the wastewater
is from NK Chemical?

Do you think this
will help your ratings go up?

-Please give us a statement.
-(reporters clamoring)

OPERATOR: The phone is turned off...

SOONTAE: Is Miho not answering?

Ms. Ko turned off her phone
because of the reporters.

Where is she?

She asked me to bring you to her,
so we're headed there now.

(exhales)

PROTECT VICTIMS OF CRIME!
WE WILL JOIN YOU!

LAW OFFICE OF PARK CHANGHO

ATTORNEY AT LAW, PARK CHANGHO

(running footsteps approaching)

ATTORNEY AT LAW, PARK CHANGHO

(panting)

(music fades)

(breathing heavily)

MIHO: This place still has
a lot of traces of our past.

We may have been poor,
but we were really happy. Right?

(solemn music)

(exhales)

I guess I really love Park Changho.

I'm more worried...

about how you'll live without me
than about me dying.

(music rises)

That's why I have a lot of regrets...

for not caring about you more.

(sobs)

But we still have a lot of time
to love each other.

So...

let's be happy
for the rest of our time together.

Okay?

Aren't you going to answer me?

(dramatic music)

(sobs softly)

I haven't done anything for you
after clearing my name.

(sobs)

I'll do whatever I can.

Anything I can, Miho.

(music rises)

(sobs)
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(dramatic music)

(sobs softly)

(sniffles)

(exhales heavily)

(music fades)

Mayor Choi Doha, withdraw from the race!

ALL: Withdraw!

-MAN: Investigate NK Chemical!
-ALL: Investigate!

REPORTER: Candidate for Gucheon Mayor
Choi Doha and his wife Hyun Juhee

appeared at the prosecution
for investigation.

The prosecution will focus
their investigation

on the various suspicions
regarding NK Chemical

and their connection
to Choi Doha and Hyun Juhee.

(tense music)

(door opens)

-(music stops)
-(door closes)

I never thought this day would come.

(exhales noisily)

I'm not jolly about this either.

PROSECUTOR:
This investigation is inevitable,

so let's not waste time playing games.

Okay?

Are you listening to me?

Who's here?

What?

Park Changho?

Gong Jihoon?

(smirks)

Or both?

(suspenseful music)

Go ahead.

See if you can get any of it proven.

MAYOR CHOI: The sun will rise tomorrow.

When it sets, it'll get dark,
and nothing will change.

I will be reelected as mayor,

and you guys will continue...

(chuckles)

...to act up saying it's unfair.

(snickers)

(tense music)

JIHOON: That son of a...

I ought to just...

Did you find Chairman Kang's son?

(exhales)

Not yet.

Let Hyun Juhee go after brief questioning.

We have to tighten the screws on her.
We had a hard time getting her here.

They're going to blame everything
on Chairman Kang.

If we want to tighten the screws,
we need a new trap.

(music intensifies)

(music fades)

CHANGHO: Ms. Hyun Juhee.

I thought Chairman Kang was cremated,
but he was buried instead.

Gong Jihoon's exhuming the body
for an autopsy tomorrow.

To prove his murder.

(scoffs)

What right does Gong Jihoon have?

I heard Chairman Kang has a son.

He got a call from him.

Why are you telling me that?

If Choi Doha finds out,
he'll do everything he can to stop it.

Please stop it already.

Stop suspecting my husband.

JUHEE: He didn't do anything wrong.

It's all Chairman Kang and my fault.

I'll take the punishment for it.

(pensive music)

How will you pay for your sins?

Divine punishment isn't enough.

Don't apologize.

You won't be forgiven.

(pensive music)

Did you hear?

Tomorrow, Gong Jihoon's...

getting Chairman Kang's body autopsied.

I need to tell Mayor Choi,

but there's no way
since he's being investigated.

Did you know?

(ominous music)

How could I not?

Mayor Choi and I are one.

Don't worry, ma'am. I'll take care of it.

(phone clicks)

(beeps)

ASSOCIATE: Mr. Cha. Mr. Gong
is getting Chairman Kang autopsied.

I'll let Mayor Choi know.

REPORTER: He was investigated intensely
for 72 hours,

but the prosecution failed to arrest
and charge Candidate Choi Doha.

-Good job enduring this.
-Thanks.

-DOOGEUN: Right.
-Good job.

As the leading candidate for mayor

and as a single shareholder myself,

I will conduct a thorough investigation
of the crimes

that the management
of NK Chemical committed.

I sincerely apologize

to the citizens of Gucheon
for worrying them.

(camera shutters clicking)

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

REPORTER:
The court has taken into consideration

that the mayoral election is in two days

and decided to postpone

Choi Doha's first trial
to after the elections.

According to the last count
that LIBC has conducted,

Candidate Choi Doha
is leading with 45.4 percent,

which exceeds the error range
between runner-up, Candidate Park Changho.

I'm sure we've surpassed him since then.

That's common sense.

Choi Doha's corruption came out.

For the next two days,
let's use up every last bit of our energy.

A NEW WAVE OF CHANGE, PARK CHANGHO

(tense music)

POLLING BOOTH

MAN: Goodness.

JERRY:
Ms. Ko put these in our refrigerator.

I bought these to celebrate,
but it's going to comfort us instead.

Let's have a refreshing drink
and shake it all off.

-(can tab clicks)
-All right.

(slurps)

(exhales)
This is great.

Miho, you're on medication...

This is the best medicine
for a day like today.

Miho, if you keep this up...

My gosh. Come on.

Cheers.

MIHO: What are you doing? Let's drink.

She's right. If we don't drink
on a day like today, when will we drink?

KIKWANG:
You all worked hard. Have a drink.

(can tabs clicking)

-MAN 1: Cheers.
-MAN 2: Cheers!

-KIKWANG: Good job, everyone.
-MAN 3: Good job.

JERRY: Good job, you guys. Good job, sir.

-MAN 3: Good job.
-KIKWANG: Thank you.

(Miho grunts)

If Choi Doha gets imprisoned
after the trial,

he can't be mayor.

That's right. There's still the trial.
We don't know what'll happen.

What do you mean we don't know?

Look at how people voted
for such a bad guy.

How can you trust the law?

(door opens)

DELIVERY MAN:
Ms. Ko Miho. You have a delivery.

JERRY: Right.

(ominous music)

JERRY: Thank you.

It doesn't say who sent it.

Open it.

KIKWANG: Hold on.

What if it's something like a bomb?

Ms. Ko.

(tape screeches)

(music intensifies)

(music stops)

JUHEE: It's me, Hyun Juhee.

This is the burner phone my husband uses.

It'll be an important piece of evidence
in the trial.

This is Choi Doha's burner phone.
Hyun Juhee sent it.

Why would she send this to us?

Are you sure she isn't conning us?

It's Choi Doha's phone.

How do you know?

(suspenseful music)

MAYOR CHOI: I saw how great
the citizens of Gucheon are...

(camera shutters clicking)

...through this election.

Thanks to your wisdom and courage,

I was able to beat the people
who tried to slander me

and be elected mayor.

MAYOR CHOI: I will return to my roots.

I will repay your trust with results!

-(applause)
-ALL (chants): He will repay you!

(phone vibrating)

CROWD (chanting): Choi Doha!

Choi Doha Choi Doha!

Yes?

Can you speak on the phone?

Go ahead.

I need a testimony saying
this burner phone belongs to Choi Doha.

Can you do it?

MAYOR CHOI:
I will prove why I was elected.

I will step up to the challenge
you have given me...

Hello? Ms. Hyun?

MAYOR CHOI: I will do my best as mayor.

With your ardent support and help...

I'll testify.

MAYOR CHOI: I would like to express
my sincere gratitude once again.

Thank you, everyone.

CHOI DOHA
FOR THE FUTURE, RELIABLE MAYOR

CROWD (chanting): Choi Doha!

Choi Doha! Choi Doha!

Choi Doha! Choi Doha!

Choi Doha! Choi Doha!

Choi Doha!

(Kikwang sighs)

She was always able to hold her liquor,

but now she's out with a can of beer.

(sighing)

(dramatic music)

CHANGHO: Are you up now?

Yes.

I'll bring you your medicine.

Just stay here.

I thought about...

my last moments.

Let's go with me falling asleep
as I hold your hand like this.

(solemn music)

Why would you say that?
What do you mean your last moments?

Why? You don't like that?

Then I'll ask my dad to do it.

(chuckles)

(door opens)

I don't want to.

Why would I do it instead of your husband?

Give this to her. It'll help her sober up.

-(exhales)
-(door closes)

Want some?

No, it's okay.

(sniffles)

CHANGHO: Go to bed.

(solemn music rises)

(door closes)

(Kikwang grunts)

(sobbing)

(sobbing)

(solemn music)

(exhales)

(sobbing continues)

(ominous music)

DEFENDANTS

(people murmuring)

(Miho coughs)

(pills rattling)

Are you okay?
Should we go back to the hotel?

(grunts)

No. I took my medicine,
so I'll be okay soon.

Why isn't Hyun Juhee here yet?

(exhales)

OFFICER: All rise.

Please be seated.

(tense music)

(music stops)

The prosecutor claims that burner phone
belongs to me,

but do you have proof?

Your Honor.

PROSECUTOR: The witness to testify that
the burner phone belongs to the defendant

hasn't arrived yet.

I ask that you postpone the trial.

Your Honor. The defense would like to call
Mr. Cha Daehwan to the stand.

PROSECUTOR: We didn't consent to this.

He's an important witness
to prove who the owner

of that burner phone is.

(suspenseful music)

This burner phone belongs to me.

Chairman Kang Sunggeun
used to use this before me,

but after he passed away,
I have been using it.

Can you prove that?

EVIDENCE 1

The last time I used this phone
was on the 16th.

CHA: The number was 010-0936-1327.

The person I called...

is in this courtroom.

(thrilling music)

(music intensifies)

(line ringing)

(ominous music)

(phone vibrating)

If that burner phone is mine,

that would mean that I called myself.

CHA: I remember the text messages
we sent to each other through this phone.

If you want,
I will reveal its contents here.

(music intensifies)

(music stops)

(crowd murmuring)

(tense music)

CHOI DOHA

(eerie music)

There's something I need you to do for me.

Tell me what it is.

Let us take a recess.

(tense music)

You got this.

(mutters)

I think Hyun Juhee stabbed us in the back.

(ominous music)

(Juhee breathing panting)

(grunting)

(whimpering)

(breathing rapidly)

(screaming)

JUDGE: I will announce the verdict.

This bench pronounces the defendant,
Choi Doha,

not guilty based on lack of evidence.

-MAN 1: Yes!
-MAN 2: Yes!

-Yes!
-MAN 3: That's right!

(crowd clamoring)

MAN 4: Choi Doha, you bastard!

-Yes!
-CHAEBONG: Mayor Choi. See?

(indistinct shouting, cheering)

(tense music)

(music stops)

What about Hyun Juhee?

I looked everywhere,
but couldn't find her. Phone's off too.

Something must've happened to her.

(ominous music)

Where's Juhee?

Why are you looking for my wife?

If Juhee's missing like Hyejin,

I won't let you people go.

I don't think
that's something you should say.

Stay healthy.

She's the woman I love,
so I'll be the one to protect her.

(music rises)

-Oh, my!
-Miho!

-Miho!
-JERRY: Ms. Ko!

KIKWANG: Carry her.

Hurry. Let's go to the hospital!

Miho.

(heart monitor beeping)

Changho.

(mutters)

CHANGHO: Are you up?

MIHO: In the past,
I used to be surprised by you.

But these days, I've been surprising you.

I know.

Don't overdo it and get some rest.

(heart monitor beeping)

(chuckles softly)

(chuckles)

(heart monitor beeping)

I'm tired.

I want to go to sleep.

(solemn music)

(chuckles)

Let's go to sleep. We can talk tomorrow.

CHANGHO: Let's talk tomorrow, Miho.

(solemn music)

I love you, Changho.

(chuckles)

Me too.

I love you too, Miho.

(dramatic music)

(heart monitor flatlines)

(dramatic music)

I'm sorry.

I was happy.

I was so happy, Miho.

(music rises)

(music fades)

(heart monitor flatline)

(water rippling)

(muffled background noise)

(door opens)

(Changho scoffs)

MAYOR CHOI: What are you doing here?

I bought this building in a rush.

(laughs, mutters)

You're the landlord?

(Mayor Choi grunts)

I guess Big Mouse
gives you a lot of money.

I'm Big Mouse.

(suspenseful music)

Congratulations.

But even if you are Big Mouse,

you're no match for me.

Money? Power?

What will you beat me with?

You coward.

(scoffs)

What?

You're afraid you'll get stepped on
like your grandfather,

so you did anything you could
and turned into a monster.

Stepping on others on the way.

You're right.

I am a coward. I was a coward.

But now, I've won.

MAYOR CHOI: I have everything.

Didn't you see?
You couldn't even stop me using the law.

What about the people who died in pain?

Have you ever thought
about the pain they endured?

(sighs)

I'm sick of this now.

MAYOR CHOI:
Do I have to worry about that too?

They're all losers.

(pensive music)

(sighs)

Thank you.

What?

I felt like I was committing a sin.

(suspenseful music)

I won't think about your pain anymore.

I'll just consider it
cleaning up the trash.

(laughs)

(music intensifies)

(music stops)

(coughing)

(gurgles)

(eerie music)

What is this?

CHANGHO: Lots of people died because of
that radiation-contaminated wastewater.

You should suffer in the same way.

(dramatic music)

Do you know why laws were made?

They were afraid of people
killing one another.

The law was made to save people.

But you don't need the law.

(exhales)

Goodbye.

(ominous music)

(music stops)

(water splashes)

(suspenseful music)

(upbeat music)

(clangs)
