Big Mouth Episode 11 Highlights
“Wait until we see the torso. Don’t get worked up about seeing the tail.”
Ji-hoon comes to the hospital for Joo-hee, and with Prosecutor Choi, he confirms that drugs were detected in her system similar to what Mayor Choi did to Chang-ho. He then gives a tip to the bureau chief for it to spread.
Gan Soo-chul, the new warden, pledges not to tolerate bribery and the ranking system. He installs suggestion boxes in the prison, wherein inmates’ confidentiality is assured.
Every inmate gets inspected, and Chang-ho watches from the warden’s office. No one was exempted as Chairman Yang and the room leader also participate.
They were able to spot three inmates with the tattoo of big mouse’s organization, and they think there are more. Coming into a disagreement about who is in power, Chang-ho tells Warden Gan that he was the one who gave him the position.
Reading the inmates’ charts, Mi-ho hears from Hye-jin that a foreign drug ASR was detected from the blood sample.
The drug is not yet known in Korea, and it was found that white blood cells were higher than normal like leukemia. Realizing those, Hye-jin regrets keeping silent about Mayor Choi’s true nature.
Cuffed in bed for becoming restless while asking for his supplements, the inmate labeled as a psychopath is put to sleep by Mi-ho, prohibiting his supplement intake.
“Beat bad guys to death but maul traitors to death.”
Mi-ho receives help from the room leader in bringing five to six model inmates a day for their blood analysis results.
Dr. Han receives a photo of Hye-jin abroad and requests continuous monitoring of her.
Seeing the news about her, Joo-hee blames herself for being involved with the three suspects of Professor Seo’s murder. She admits she had no interest in the research at first since she was avoiding staining her hands.
Mayor Choi tells Joo-hee to remain a good doctor, and that her accident was a retaliation of ‘big mouse’ for imprisoning Park Yoon-gab. In that, the mayor concludes that Chang-ho is now working with ‘big mouse’ after discovering his real motives.
Park Yoon-gab in a prisoner uniform gets beaten up along with other inmates connected with ‘big mouse’ as they claim they have never seen ‘big mouse’.
Hanged in the ceiling, Chang-ho puts a stop to Warden Gan’s methods after interfering.
Being treated by Mi-ho, Yoon-gab receives an offer to be safe in prison from Chang-ho in exchange for revealing his master. However, he keeps his mouth shut.
“You fix the sick people. I’ll fix the dirty world.”
Joo-hee hears that the underground lab has limited access, and walks out disturbed by what she saw. Mayor Choi then brings her home after her request.
Curious about what’s inside after hearing similar things from Mi-ho, Mayor Choi stops his questions after Joo-hee asks him to remain on being a good politician.
Shocked to hear that he is not a candidate for being warden, Gan Soo-chul secures permission from the mayor to use his own methods since Chang-ho appears to be working with ‘big mouse’.
Starting an emergency protocol until ‘big mouse’ is caught, Warden Gan outs that Chang-ho is not the real ‘big mouse’.
Yoon-gab gets saved by Chang-ho and Chairman Yang after getting beaten up. Chairman Yang pledges his loyalty to Chang-ho even knowing he is not ‘big mouse’.
Chang-ho tries to call the mayor, but he gets a cold response. Inmates become restless as they report people they don’t like as ‘big mouse’.
Meanwhile, Mi-ho draws blood from inmates, and she meets Hye-jin who came back to Korea and is being followed by Dr. Han. Soon-tae, who follows the model inmates on work release, loses sight of their bus.
“You gotta climb the tree if you want the fruit.”
Dr. Han shows up where Hye-jin is staying, and she waves a knife at him. Cornered in the room, she tries to escape, but she gets stabbed.
The psychopath thanks Mi-ho for what she did, but she refers him to a doctor.
Chatting with Yoon-gab in the prison field, Chang-ho tells him to relay a message to ‘big mouse’ on meeting at night and reassures them that he has not betrayed them yet.
He may only look like working with the mayor, but Chang-ho claims that he now knows the mayor well. If ‘big mouse’ would not show himself at night, Chang-ho says that he will abandon the plan of uncovering Professor Seo’s paper regardless.
In the hospital, Jerry answers his phone, saying that nothing will come out good in meeting up, and becomes amused with Chang-ho.
Ji-hoon and his wife ridicule the absence of Mayor Choi and Joo-hee after being in the news for drugs. However, Joo-hee shows up with the elder who still treats Ji-hoon coldly.
Hye-jin bleeds to death, and Mayor Choi discovers on Hye-jin’s phone that Mi-ho has been analyzing blood samples.
When the inmates riot, Warden Gan follows the mayor’s order to kill Mi-ho and Chang-ho.
An unknown number informs Chang-ho of the changed meeting place with ‘big mouse’. Electricity is turned off, and entering the special ward in the underground, Chang-ho turns on the lighter to see the room leader.
Big Mouth Episode 11 Musings
Power can change people in many ways, and Gan Soo-chul exhibits how his hidden monstrous energy brings him to torture inmates. Although he may not be the same as Warden Park, he is as abusive as him in another form.
Implementing an emergency protocol in search of inmates with a tattoo of big mouse’s organization, there could have still been a lot of ways to hide it.
This episode can still be perplexing on who ‘big mouse’ really is now. When Jerry answered the phone call after the scene of Chang-ho with Park Yoon-gab, it could have hinted it was him but it was denied in the previous episodes.
Adding to that, there was also a note passed onto Jerry by someone with a tattoo on the wrist. However, by the end, it shows that the room leader met up with Chang-ho during the agreed meetup time with ‘big mouse’.
For now, it could be believed that he is ‘big mouse’ even though he has generally a nurturing aura. It’s also plausible since he is the character most familiar with tarot cards. While this is revealed, this could also not be the final, for a lot can still happen in the next episodes.
