BIG MOUTH

THIS SHOW IS A WORK OF FICTION

THE EVENTS AND ENTITIES THAT APPEAR HEREIN ARE FICTIONAL

ON AIR

Opening. Cue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BIG MOUTH

What is that? Hey, stop them!

Get out of the way!

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

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?

What is this?

Hey, Mr. Yeom! You...

MUNMI FISH FARM

Hey, no one's here.

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?

Let me ask Candidate Choi a question.

You know what the NR Forum is. Right?

-Yes. 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...

You're out of time. -Right.

Candidate Lee, please ask your question.

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?

Who's in charge here?

Gosh, I'm not in charge...

Why are you doing this to us?

It wasn't my intention to go this far.

Have some water and calm down.

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?

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?

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.

Call 911.

Get me an ambulance.

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

I need to go to the hospital.

I brought this water from home.

This contains that groundwater.

If you don't tell me truthfully

what's happening here,

I'll really make you drink this.

FISH FARM C

You people...

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

Yes?

Gangsters showed up here.

Calm down and tell me what's going on.

Who brought gangsters with them?

A woman? Who is she?

I don't know.

This woman... knows about the wastewater.

What?

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?

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

and make them face legal consequences.

Candidate Park.

If true,

will you withdraw from the election?

Of course. I will take responsibility and step down.

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?

Let's go.

The fish farm?

How did you find out about it?

Ms. Ko found out.

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.

-Mr. Ko. -Yes?

When the sinkhole accident happened,

weren't the drainpipes from a fish farm?

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