EPISODE 15
You must be surprised to see me alive,
Cho Sunghyun.
(music intensifies)
(music stops)
I know you killed him.
Just wait.
I'll show the world
how disgusting you truly are and your evil spirit.
(suspenseful music)
(tense music)
(music fades)
Did I mishear him?
(Mayor Choi sniffles)
I thought I heard him call you Cho Sunghyun.
(sniffles)
(exhales)
I'll explain everything after we lay the elder to rest.
(ominous music)
(Mayor Choi sniffles)
We'll never have to see him again, right?
That's right.
He was arrogant because the chairman had his back,
but he suddenly lost his supporter.
There's no way he'll become mayor now.
Of course not. We have no reason to help him anymore.
(Chaebong laughs)
Hey, Prosecutor Choi. How did it go?
(suspenseful music)
Attorney Jung just arrived.
It was hard to convince him to come.
Good work.
(music intensifies)
Please, don't get up. Stay seated.
(Jihoon chuckles)
(grunts)
Goodness. Sorry I'm late.
How's your health?
I heard you were struggling with diabetes.
I'm fine, thanks to you.
So? What about what I asked?
It'll be read aloud after Chairman Kang's funeral...
You didn't bring it?
(sighs)
(suspenseful music)
ATTORNEY JUNG: The chairman evenly gave to everyone
so that no one would be hurt.
What's wrong with this old man?
It's like he was rationing meals at the mess hall.
He said he wanted to change his will,
but he passed away so suddenly.
About this will...
Is there any way to tweak it just slightly?
Are you saying you'll tamper with the will?
(laughs)
No.
This was written a while ago, right?
There's something he told me when he was alive.
So, I wouldn't be tampering with it.
Let's say he revised it already.
There's no way to revise it.
I'll make it very worth your while, Attorney Jung.
Even if there were a way,
my conscience would never allow it.
(inhales sharply, exhales)
This is slightly disappointing.
There's no way the chairman would be so stingy.
(suspenseful percussive music)
ATTORNEY JUNG: Enjoy your meal. I'll go now.
Sure. I won't walk you out.
JIHOON: Oh, Attorney Jung.
I hope you'll be guiltless and upright
until you grow senile.
Good luck with that.
ATTORNEY JUNG: Have a nice day.
(music fades)
Chairman Kang's estate is huge.
Yes, it is huge,
but he's just way too fair.
Fair? Damn it.
JIHOON: How is this fair?
After all the crap I did for him to clean up his messes.
At least Choi Doha didn't get too much.
You were worried that he would've tampered with the will.
(scoffs)
(phone vibrating)
PARK CHANGHO
(exhales loudly)
(slurps)
(vibrating continues)
Hey, Mr. Park. What's up?
Why would I need to see you? To talk about what?
Right, the election.
Handle it on your own. You're a smart guy.
- (phone beeps) - Are you cutting him off?
The chairman passed away anyway.
Why bother grabbing onto a kite without its thread?
I should let it drift away.
(mutters)
(tense music)
(Jihoon whistling)
(car beeps)
(whistling continues)
(engine starts)
(horn honks)
- What the heck? God damn it. - (honking continues)
Hey, hey.
(Jihoon shrieking)
(brakes screech)
(mutters)
Hey. Where did you learn to drive, punk?
Damn it. Get over here.
JIHOON: Hey.
Hey!
Back up. I need to get out, so back up!
Hey! Back up.
I said, back up!
(ominous music)
(grunts)
Hey.
(muttering)
Hey. You.
JIHOON: Are you blind?
What a diverse-looking group.
(inhales sharply) You look familiar...
Hey. Wait right here, got it?
Wait right here, you punks. Wait.
JIHOON: You're dead. Wait.
What the hell? Damn it.
- Hey. - (tires screeching)
Hey.
Hey!
(screaming)
(brakes screech)
(shrieking)
(gurgling)
(mutters)
(muttering)
(suspenseful music)
(car door closes)
Damn. So it was you. (chuckling)
JIHOON: This floor is crazy slippery.
(laughs)
What? Do you have business with me?
Look. See that? Cameras.
JIHOON: There's a lot of them.
Are you here to abduct me?
Chairman Kang didn't die from cardiac arrest.
Really?
JIHOON: What should I do?
Should I open his casket and ask him?
(scoffing)
(exhales)
You'll come to me on your own once the will is read.
(snickers)
Don't come crying for help when the time comes.
You broke our trust first.
(clears throat) Sure.
That won't ever happen,
so you and I should just go our separate ways.
(smirks)
(suspenseful music)
- (car door closes) - (engine revving)
(tires screeching)
(horn honks)
Help me? Give me a break!
I already read the will, idiot!
Damn it.
I get 36 percent of NK Chemical!
I'll be a major shareholder! Me, Gong Jihoon!
(in English) Yes, sir!
(muttering)
(tense music)

We're done. There was a problem with the cable.
I see. Thank you.
(remote beeps)
(suspenseful music)
Oh my gosh. You scared me.
Be careful, will you?
- Sorry. - DOOGEUN: Are you okay?
Yeah.
ASHLEY KIM: Hi.
DOOGEUN: Looks like we're the first to arrive.
- Where's Jihoon? - He'll be here soon.
- Have some tea. - DOOGEUN: Okay.
Did you renovate?
I had something fixed.
CHAEBONG: Let's sit around here.
Goodness.
- WOMAN: Hi. You came. - MAN 1: Of course.
- MAN 2: Hi. - WOMAN: Long time no see.
MAN 3: Wow. Look who's here. Hey.
- WOMAN: Hi there. - MAN 3: It's been a while.
WOMAN: Hey. You seem to be in a really good mood.
- My heart is about to burst. - (chuckles)
I feel like I'm opening a treasure chest.
WOMEN (squealing)
Mr. Gong. You read the will personally, right?
You guys got much more than you deserve,
and I didn't get enough.
What do you mean, it's more than we deserve?
(laughter)
(door opens)
(exhales heavily)
(serene music)
Once we finish divvying up the assets,
we should kick them out first.
(chuckles)
If we combine our shares,
we can get rid of them without breaking a sweat.
(rhythmic tense music)
(man grunts)
(man exhales heavily)
SEUNGTAE: All right.
(music intensifies)
(music stops)
ATTORNEY JUNG: As the executor of the chairman's will,
I shall now read his will.
(applause)
I'm Chairman Kang's legal representative, Attorney Kim Kisoo.
KISOO: First, let me announce that this will is valid
and fully enforceable.
Hold on.
He's the attorney, not Attorney Jung?
The chairman wrote a new will a week before he passed away.
(gasps)
ATTORNEY JUNG: I'll read it now.
"I, Kang Sunggeun, give and bequeath my assets as follows.
I leave my shares of Woojae Construction, OC Group,
Chilbong Foundation, and Nine Semiconductors..."
(suspenseful music)
"to Hyun Juhee."
What...
DOOGEUN: What?
ATTORNEY JUNG: "I leave my shares of NK Chemical's subsidiaries,
Galaxy Electronics, FT Industry, Gucheon Steel,
Royal Hydro, and Big Bang C&C...
to Choi Doha."
What the hell is this?
(tense music)
(inhales sharply)
Give me that.
Something's wrong here.
CHAEBONG: This can't be!
Can it?
Let's go.
(tense music)
CHAEBONG: Hold on.
Is this real?
JIHOON: Hey.
What did you do to the will?
Are you saying I tampered with it?
If not? That makes absolutely no sense.
Don't tarnish the elder's wishes.
You bastard!
- What are you playing at? - CHAEBONG: Hey, Choi Doha!
- JIHOON: Let go! - Get over here, you bastard!
- Stop it. - ASHLEY KIM: Honey!
Hey! Honey!
CHAEBONG: You dirtbag!
- Stop it! - Let go!
You louse! Get back here!
- Hey. You knew, didn't you? - CHAEBONG: You bastard!
-Stop it!-Let go!
- You jerk. - Play a bit more.
You knew, didn't you?
(remote beeps)
Choi Doha took all of NK Chemical's subsidiaries.
Changho predicted correctly.
He killed Chairman Kang and tampered with the will.
It's nice watching them fight among themselves,
but Choi Doha is becoming too powerful. He'll be at Chairman Kang's level.
(phone vibrating)
- Hello? - WOMAN: Is this Ms. Ko Miho?
This is the hospitalwhere you were admitted before.
MIHO: Just a minute.
Okay, I'm here.
Your blood test results came backand they look very bad.
(mutters)
What's bad about them?
(solemn music)
It's okay. Please tell me.
I think you should come inand get a full check-up.
(door opens)
MIHO: I'll call you back.
- (phone beeps) - Hey.
Who was that?
The apartment security office. We have a delivery.
What is it? I'll pick it up.
It's okay. I'll go.
I can drop off this month's maintenance fee too.
I thought it was something serious.
(laughs)
(solemn music continues)
I had no idea...
the elder would leave us that much.
I can understand why he left you all of that,
but not what he left me.
You don't look that happy.
It feels unreal, to be honest.
I'm offended...
that those guys suspect me, but I understand at the same time.
Don't worry about what others think.
We have to stand tall.

I have nothing to say to you.
Well... Things are very, very bad for me right now.
I need your help.
That's your problem.
Hey.
(laughs)
I was wrong. I apologize.
Sorry. (chuckles)
I can't stand people who are disloyal. Get lost.
Wait. Hold up.
The mayoral race.
I will work my socks off
and do my best to help you.
I'm begging you, Park Changho.
Please. What do I have to do? Should I...
Should I kneel?
JIHOON: You don't want to see that. You'd feel awkward, right?
Let's go somewhere quiet. I'll write an oath in blood.
JIHOON: Let's go. Changho. You're the only one I can turn to.
(breathes shakily)
(ominous music)
So, Cho Sunghyun
took on Choi Doha's identity.
JIHOON: That little kid...
It turns out he died while playing in the river.
That's sad. He was so young.
(remote beeps)
Chairman Kang found out first,
but Choi Doha acted first.
(groaning)
(gasping)
CHANGHO: Naturally, the next stepwould've been to tamper with the will.
Choi Doha, you despicable rat!
Is the NR Forum his now?
No. It isn't his yet.
If I tell them who he really is,
they'll bare their teeth and rise up to rebel!
(tense music)
(chuckles)
CHANGHO: It's campaign season now. Help me win.
Once I'm mayor,
I can destroy Choi Doha with the law and justice
without doing anything shady.

MAYOR CHOI: You're still up?
JUHEE: I couldn't sleep.
Maybe I'll have some wine too.
(gulps)
MAYOR CHOI: I need to change my plan.
I plan to run for mayor instead of the National Assembly.
(ominous music)
Is it because of Park Changho?
In case he becomes mayor?
I thought hard about why he left me so much more than I deserved.
MAYOR CHOI: He wanted me to protect all of his accomplishments.
That was why.
MAYOR CHOI: I can try for the National Assembly
after I'm reelected mayor and the businesses are stable.
Do everything you want.
Whatever you decide,
I'll follow your lead.
Juhee.
How much do you trust me?
(chuckles)
What the heck? Why would you ask that?
I've never once doubted you,
and I never will.
(tense music)
GUCHEON ELECTION COMMISSION
(camera shutter clicking)
REPORTER: Look over here, please.
UNAFFILIATED CHOI DOHA
Why did you suddenly decide to run for mayor
after saying you'd run for a seat in the National Assembly?
I thought long and hard about it.
If it were for personal gain, I would've chosen the National Assembly.
But I concluded that Gucheon,
which dreams of great progress, still needs me.
(camera shutters clicking)
MAYOR CHOI: Dear people of Gucheon.
I, Choi Doha, have returned.
If my last term served to fortifythe foundation of Gucheon's development,
it's time to raise our aspirations
to becoming a global city.
I'd like to work with all of you...
(remote beeps)
He makes it so obvious.
He wants to stop Changho from becoming mayor.
KIKWANG: This is beyond an ambush.
Do you think you stand a chance?
Since it turned out this way,
I'll turn this election into Choi Doha's grave.
A NEW WAVE OF CHANGE PARK CHANGHO

Abraham Lincoln said these famous words.
"You can fool some of the people all of the time."
Also, "You can fool all of the people some of the time."
"However, you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
Please pick me, candidate Number Five,
Choi Doha, for mayor!

Chemotherapy is a lengthy process,
so you should prepare yourself for the future.

BIG CHANGE IN POLL FOR GUCHEON MAYOR CANDIDATES
PARK CHANGHO FROM 15% TO 22% AT 3RD PLACE
He started at only seven percent,
but he has hit 22 percent and finally made it to the top three.
- Yes! - Yeah!
We have a long way to go,
but let's give each other a hand for all of our hard work.
(applause and cheers)
You did great yet again today. Let's do the chant.
- Let's make Park Changho... - MIHO: Wait. Stop.
- (exhales) - (man chuckling)
You can't leave me out. That's not right.
MAN: You startled me.
CHANGHO: Where were you?
I'll start it off, so let's do the chant.
Let's make my husband, Park Changho...
ALL (cheering): Mayor of Gucheon!
(indistinct shouting)
ALL (chanting): Gucheon Mayor Park Changho!
- MAN 1: Mayor Park Changho! - MAN 2: Park Changho!

(Miho pants)
(exclaims)
- (Miho exhales) - CHANGHO: Miho!
Ko Miho!
Let's go back.
You're drunk.
You know how much I can drink.
I'm not drunk. I'm not even buzzed.
Hey.
(Changho exhales)
See? You're too drunk to even stand straight.
I'm not drunk. I slipped.
(mutters)
Want me to carry you? Want to get on my back?
(Changho mutters)
Did I do something wrong again?
(dramatic music)
Have you...
ever lied to me while we were married?
(chuckles)
What?
Tell me. Have you ever hidden anything from me or not?
(laughs)
Well...
What about you? You've never lied to me?
(scoffs) I'm not Mother Theresa.
How could a person not lie even once in their life?
Right? When you're considerate of each other,
you end up lying now and then and stuff like that.
You're Big Mouse, aren't you?
(music fades)
You became Big Mouse after Mr. No Park died.
Does your father know?
MIHO: Of course.
How could he not? Everyone obeys your every command.
I really didn't want to do it, but I had no choice.
CHANGHO: I agreed to do it until Choi Doha pays for his crimes.
It's true, Miho.
Once I keep my promise to No Park,
- we can... - MIHO: You know...
I want you to be a good Big Mouse.
(dramatic music)
A good Big Mouse?
Someone who punishes scumbags who hurt powerless people
just to better their own lives.
A kind and righteous Big Mouse.
(sighs)
I'm tired. Give me a piggyback ride.
(mutters)
CHANGHO: Here.
(exclaims)
- (Miho grunts) - Goodness.
MIHO: When's the happiest moment with me after we started going out?
CHANGHO: I'm not sure. There were too many.
What about you?
MIHO: Want to play the telepathy game?
We'll each say our happiest moment.
CHANGHO: Okay. One, two, three, and then we say it.
After three, okay?
One, two, three.
- BOTH: Opening the law office. - (Changho exclaims)
(chuckles) We shared thoughts.
We did.
(sighs) I miss our old office.
I worked late all the time.
MIHO: Why did you work late all the time when you had no work?
CHANGHO: Just because. I liked it because it was my first office.
The dinner you'd bring me every night was delicious too.
MIHO: I thought you'd rake in the money,
but your first month's income was a measly 580,000 won.
Do you know how much all of that food cost?
(mutters)
Yes, but...
you said you were happy seeing the nameplate with my name on it.
I was.
Because my husband was the coolest person in the world.
(Changho chuckles)
Gosh. Are you okay?
MIHO: Yes, I'm okay.
CHANGHO: Goodness.
Let's hurry home, Miho.
WOOJEONG GALLERY
What's taking them so long? I thought you talked to them.
Hi. You made it.
(chuckles) Traffic's bad, isn't it?
JIHOON: Well... Wait a bit.
Once the others come, we can start...
They won't be coming.
What do you mean?
I told the group chat
that Choi Doha was really Cho Sunghyun. He changed his identity...
They got a call from Choi Doha to meet.
I'm sure they're all there.
(exhales sharply)
Where is it?
(tense music)
(clears throat)
(applause)
(door closes)
Mr. Gong. Come in.
MAYOR CHOI: NR Forum decided to officially support me in the election.
(percussive music)
Says who?
Get out if you plan to oppose.
(laughs)
JIHOON: Aren't you people angry?
I told you what kind of a rat that bastard is.
You were pissed off and belligerent in the group chat,
but you're pulling this garbage here?
(line dials)
How humiliating!
Hello, Director Yoon. Are you free to talk now?
JUHEE: The large shareholders want to call an emergency board meeting.
To remove Mr. Gong Jihoon as CEO.
JUHEE: His performance as a CEO, scandals related to his personal life,
abuse of power...
There are plenty of grounds for removal.
I'll call you back.
- (thuds) - (phone beeps)
You'll fire me?
Isn't that what you want?
It looks like you're begging to be fired, from where I'm sitting.
You don't know what a scumbag your husband is, do you?
- Choi Doha, this bastard... - I know...
that his childhood name was Cho Sunghyun
and that his grandfather was Cho Haesoo, NK Chemical's lab director.
(suspenseful music)
(glass shatters)
(breathing heavily)
JUHEE: Why didn't you tell me that all this time?
I believed all of the elder's accomplishments
and all of the glory he was enjoying
belonged to my grandfather.
(suspenseful music)
The only way to reclaim all of that
was to be acknowledged.
If he knew I was Cho Haesoo's grandson,
the elder wouldn't have given me that chance.
I realized after the will reading...
that he already knew.
And that was why he left me all of that...
(tense music)
MAYOR CHOI: Juhee.
I was afraid I'd lose you.
(tense music)
JIHOON: That's not all.
Everything, including marrying you, was a part of his grand plan.
Even the elder's sudden death may...
Say one more word!
If you stab at Doha's painful scars one more time,
it won't end with losing control over the company.
I'll have you...
ostracized from society.
(ominous music)
(laughs)
(Jihoon whining)
I see you were all threatened in this manner.
JIHOON: You had knelt at the chairman's feet and served him all your lives.
All that changed was your master. Right?
JIHOON: Your leashes are still there.
(laughs)
JIHOON: Losing control over the company?
Go right ahead.
(ominous music)
I'll show you what I can do
when I go completely ballistic when I'm pushed
to the edge of a cliff.
(tongue clicking)
JIHOON: You're a bunch of pathetic losers.
That bastard. Why I ought to...
- Let go. That little... - DOOGEUN: Stop it.
CHAEBONG: That jerk.
(upbeat music)
If you finished there, go to Yangjae-dong and then Seongsu-dong.
MAN: We didn't get it from the studio yet.
We'll let you know when the schedule is ready.
Do you have to be so...

Hello, sir!

You should go back to the college.

(phone vibrating)
What is it?
(ominous music)
(phone beeps)
(inhales, exhales heavily)
I talked big in front of those jerks,
but once I walked out of there,
I realized I couldn't even take care of myself.
(suspenseful music)
JIHOON: It's the special treatment
given to the NR Forum's corporations by Choi Doha as mayor.
This is as far as I can help you.
I'm not betraying you, I'm just incompetent.
So try to understand.
Does Chairman Kang have any family?
JIHOON: He had a son late in his age.
He had a son?
He's complete scum of the earth.
JIHOON: That was why he cut off all ties with his one and only blood kin.
Where is he now?
I heard he was somewhere in Texas in the US.
Does he not know that Chairman Kang died?
Probably not, since he didn't come to the funeral.
What about his son?
You've heard of inheritance lawsuits, right?
- I have. - CHANGHO: If we find his son and sue,
we should be able to get back a considerable amount of the inheritance.
Meaning Juhee and Doha's authority decreases by that much.
(tense music)
(Jihoon exclaiming)
(mutters)
(chuckles)
So there was a way. An awesome one at that.
JIHOON: Gosh. Nice.
I don't even like talking to that jerk though.
Why not?
He's just a demon. Enough said.
So? You won't look for him?
Of course, I will.
I'm on the verge of dying here.
(tense music rises)
(music stops)
(ice clinking)
PROSECUTOR: You're in better shape than I expected.
I thought you'd be wasted and going crazy by now.
(Jihoon sighs)
I can't do that.
They say, even if a tiger drags you away,
as long as you keep it together...
you can live.
You'll die even if you keep it together.
You've been mauled by a tiger.
(exhales)
- PROSECUTOR: What is that? - Information on a person.
Find him.
Who is he?
Kang Sunggeun's only son.
PROSECUTOR: Kang Sunggeun?
Chairman Kang had a son?
He's somewhere in Texas in the US.
He was abandoned by the chairman.
If he had a son, Choi Doha can't get his entire estate.
That's right.
So we have to find him.
When I think about how those bastards humiliated me...
PROSECUTOR: I don't get it.
If he's his only son, why did he cut him off?
(exhales heavily) Because he's a serial killer.
A psychopath.
- What's his name? - You wouldn't know.
It's in there, so open it.
How could I not know a serial killer?
PROSECUTOR: He must've been all over the news.
Because someone else went to jail in his place.
(suspenseful music)
And he took off to the US.

She got her bone marrow transplant and doing well now.
(solemn music)
I'm so glad. (chuckles softly)
My brother and sister
wouldn't tell me,
so I was worried.
(gasping)
You don't need to worry anymore.
Thank you.
(breathes deeply)
Thank you very...
much.
(heart monitor flat lines)
WOMAN: Kwanghyun?
Kwanghyun.
Kwanghyun, wake up.
Kwanghyun!
No, Kwanghyun.
Kwanghyun. Wake up...
(sobbing)
WOMAN: Wake up, Kwanghyun.
Please wake up.
Kwanghyun...
(water running)
(solemn music rises)
(water stops)
My brother...
isn't a serial killer.
What do you mean?
There was a rich psychopath.
My brother took the fall for him
so that he could get our mom her surgery.
(solemn music)
Who was that psychopath?
I don't know either.
He ended up being despised by everyone
and dying wrongfully like that.
Thank you so much for making him comfortable...
in his final moment. And I'm sorry.
(woman sobbing)
(door opens)
What are you doing here?
The director's inside, right?
Do you have an appointment?
Look here, Ms. Ko.
It's fine. You may go.
JUHEE: I can't be mean since you're a competitor's wife.
I don't have time to sit. Say what you came to say.
How many more people must die for you to stop?
You're still hung up
on that useless obsession.
Useless?
Should I lay it out for you?
You people have lost control already.
That was why you committed murder, got rid of the secret lab,
and silenced the patients' families with money.
Because it's already out of control.
(solemn music)
MIHO: You people won't get your way.
Because I'll uncover everything...
that you people did before I die.
(music rises)
(music fades)
Do you know what the scariest thing is?
Exposing that thing you call the truth,
but the world not changing at all.
Can you handle...
that despair?
(solemn music)
I'll show you...
that you're wrong.
You'll see what true despair is...
as you cry tears of blood.
(music continues)
(music stops)
A NEW WAVE OF CHANGE PARK CHANGHO
(door opens)
(solemn music)
MIHO: Here.
(music stops)
Miho. What are you doing here?
What else? It's so hard to see my husband these days,
so I brought a late-night snack.
MIHO: Okay.
Let's eat.
Here.
Eat up.
Hold on. Let me finish this first.
(keyboard clacking)
I'm so upset. You've lost weight in just a few days.
Preparing for the debate, I didn't have time to eat.
You're working hard enough.
You need to eat and sleep well to do well on the debate.
I'm up against Choi Doha.
Without anything substantial, all-nighters won't be enough to take him down.
(dramatic music)
Here. Open up.
Isn't it good?
Yes, it is.
My wife makes the best gimbap in all of Korea.
(chuckles)
Are you pulling another all-nighter here?
CHANGHO: Yes, I think I'll have to.
Let's see each other every day no matter how busy you are.
We were apart for so long while you were in the penitentiary.
It's not like we'll live together for thousands of years.
Miho.
I'm sorry.
Once we finish what we've planned,
I'll stick by your side all the time.
CHANGHO: I'll follow you wherever you go.
We may not be able to live together for thousands of years,
but we'll live together for about fifty.
I'll make it up to you for everything I couldn't do. So...
don't be too upset.
(chuckles)
I'm not upset.
Eat up.
(music rises)
(paper rustling)
(dramatic music)
(munching)

GUCHEON MAYORAL RACE RATINGS BY AGE
GUCHEON MAYORAL CANDIDATE RATINGS
LEE CHANGSUB, CHOI DOHA, OH KIJU, YANG SANGJIN, PARK CHANGHO
(suspenseful music)
CHOI DOHA FOR THE FUTURE, RELIABLE MAYOR
CHAEBONG: Hey, Mayor Choi.
- Did you look into it? - Yes.
A few months ago, there was a cryptocurrency fraud case.
We must band together in times like these...
I hear you're Big Mouth.
WOMAN: You fraud. Give me back my money!
CHAEBONG: Park Changho representedthe plaintiffs and lost the trial.
The guy behind the fraud was caught and is being investigated.
(suspenseful music)
Who's the prosecutor?
Jeon Sooil. He was at the Institute with Lee Doogeun.
CHAEBONG: I've met him before too.
What brings you here?
- DOOGEUN: Hey, Attorney Jeon. - SOOIL: Hi. Sorry for making you wait.
Of course, I should wait. I'm taking you away from your work.
- You have time to eat, right? - Sure.
I made a reservation at a Japanese place.
- Let's go. - You look good.
Are we having some shots then?
That's a given.
(ominous music)
- (door opens) - (slurps)
Hello, sir. I'm Jeon Sooil.
Nice to meet you. Have a seat.
SOOIL: You must be busy with your campaign.
I've ordered already.
I have another appointment, so let's just eat.
Sure.
MAYOR CHOI: We can get to know each other another time.
(smirks)
- Can you help me? - Excuse me?
Don't say you'll decide after you hear what it is.
Say whether or not you're willing.
If you're with me, I'm positive you won't regret it.
(clears throat)
I'll help you.
(smirks)
You know Candidate Park Changho, right? Independent and Number Four.
SOOIL: I do.
I want him to drop out of the race.
- Pardon? - I don't want him to finish the race,
let alone make it to the actual election.
What...
do I have to do?
Looks like the prosecutor is taken care of.
What about the TV studio?
Chaebong is there as the representative.
MAN: Only the top three in ratingscan partake in the debate.
The order and topics of debate are listed.
What is this "citizens' representative"?
It's as it says. Citizens will join the panel and ask questions.
The questions aren't provided here.
MAN: They will be impromptu questions at the end of the program.
The candidates should prepare thoroughly.
This wasn't in previous debates.
Do you have something to hide? Why are you being so snippy?
We have nothing to hide.
SOONTAE: Just prepare your candidate.
You may go bust if you're not careful.
(snickers)
I heard Park Changho's win rate was less than 10 percent as a lawyer.
How can he survive the debate if he's so bad with words?
- (Chaebong chuckles) - MAN: Let's not do this here.
Let your candidates duke it out in front of the camera.
Thanks for coming today. See you at the debate.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(door opens)
(footsteps receding)
(keypad clacking)
(line dials)
Hey. We just finished.
(whispers) Come here.
CHAEBONG: Hold on.
(whispers) Come here.
Take it. It's Mayor Choi.
(tense music)
Hello, sir.
You got the list of citizen reps, right?
I did. I set it up as you ordered.
(chuckles)
Let's not even make eye contact at the studio.
We have to wait until after the elections to grab a drink.
- I'm counting on you. - MAN: Understood.
- Here you go. - Okay. Thanks.
- Good luck. - Have a nice day.
(exhales heavily)
All I have to do now is pull the trigger.
REPORTER 1: The prosecutor investigatingthe five-billion cryptocurrency fraud case
confirmed that the suspect Min
had given a large sum of moneyto Park Changho,
who had representedthe plaintiffs at the time.
Min confessed during his interrogation
that he gave Park Changho
five billion wonin exchange for losing the trial.
(reporters clamoring)
REPORTER 2: The controversiessurrounding Park Changho don't end here.
Look at these burly menbowing to Park Changho.
We've discovered that these menare members of a gang
who were in the penitentiary with Park.
Park Changho, who had made waves early onby winning over the younger voters,
being embroiled in these controversies...
(phone beeps)
(phone vibrating)
- Hey. - JIHOON: Choi Doha's behind this.
I just confirmed it.
That was how he won the last election too, by doing something similar
and using a smear campaign.
(ominous music)
- (phone beeps) - It really is Choi Doha.
YOONGAB: No wonder.
I thought things were too quiet.
He really is a rare breed of evil.
SOONTAE: I'll press charges for making false accusations.
What's the point if it is revealed after the election?
KIKWANG: His reputation would be in the gutter already.
Can you go on the TV debate?
Isn't it better not to?
The other candidates will come at you like hounds.
I can't win the election like this anyway.
Do or die, I have to face it head-on.
(ominous music)
(music stops)
(dramatic music)
(water running)
(spits)
(tap water stops)
(tense music)
(sighs)
CHANGHO: I'm up against Choi Doha.
Without anything substantial, all-nighters won't be enough to take him down.
(suspenseful music)
KIKWANG: I was worried, so I looked into it,
and the pipes belong to a fish farm in the area.
Why does a fish farm need such big pipes?
They illegally use underground water there.
Regardless, the chemical factory has nothing to do with it, so don't worry.
(sighs)
(music continues)
(music fades)
(muttering)
Let me look at you.
MIHO: Good luck.
The people are watching. Don't be nervous because of the cameras.
You're coming, right?
You have the rehearsal and a lot to prep. I'll be there for the debate.
(Kikwang chuckles)
Let's go.
I'll bring Miho later.
(door opens)
- (door closes) - Did you look into it?
I did, and it really is suspicious as you said.
(tense music)
JERRY: From the outside, it looks like any other fish farm,
but security is intense. It's not like anyone would steal fish.
And the owner is a guy named Mr. Ko.
He was NK Chemical's head of securityuntil a few years ago.
NK Chemical?
Yes. He has absolutely no connection to fish.
How many people work there?
Including the guards and workers, about 15 or so.
I need to get into that fish farm.
Get into it? For what?
Please gather some people right now.
(music intensifies)
(tires screeching)
(music stops)
We brought our tools since you said it was an emergency.
Good. Listen up.
We'll be doing the most important thing for this election.
MIHO: If this mission is a success, we'll win the election.
If we fail, we'll lose the election.
Don't think about the aftermath. Focus only on what's in front of you.
Are we on our way to crushing someone?
Yes, we are. Come with me.
CHUNSIK: Let's go.
MEN: Yes, Boss!
(tense music)

BIG MOUTH
(closing theme music)
BIG MOUTH
CHANGHO: That's fake news.
MAYOR CHOI: If it's true, will you withdraw from the election?
MIHO: Load up everythingthat can be used as evidence.
You have to stop them. Those are bombs they're bringing.
MAYOR CHOI: Go ahead.
See if you can get any of it proven.
CHANGHO: How will you pay for your sins?
Don't apologize. You won't be forgiven.
But even if you are Big Mouse,
you're no match for me.
MIHO: It'll all be revealed soon.
I'm not here as Mr. Park Changho's wife,
but as a victim of the radiation
leaked by NK Chemical.
