A Model Family (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
They definitely knew
they were being watched.
They didn't even go out
to the meetup spot!
They planned this for a month,
then just, nothing.
Internal information
is being leaked by someone.
Who is it?
I don't know,
but I have a bad feeling.
They started running
background checks on their underlings.
Why now?
I have no fucking clue
who's leaking this fucking information.
Hey, calm down. No one knows you're a cop.
Ah, shit. Whatever.
I need to get out of here.
They'll get the money
to the Sangseon Ring.
- So just hang in there.
- Listen I
I think they're going to kill me.
Just wait
until the deal's done.
Oh shit! Goddamn it!
VIOLENT CRIMES SQUAD 1
SIR, THIS IS BIG HIT REALTY
WHEN CAN YOU MAKE THE PAYMENT?
Go.
Go and wait for us to contact you.
A-And the money?
Just leave it there. It's safer that way.
Think about your family.
If you do anything stupid,
they will suffer.
Forget everything that happened.
The money was all there.
And you could tell that he buried
something in his backyard.
What an idiot.
He buried the bodies in his own backyard?
Guess he's not so innocent.
Little bit of a psycho.
Why did those assholes
end up killing each other
in the middle of moving the cash?
- They probably got greedy.
- That's so typical for you to say.
Shouldn't we send
whatever cash is left for now?
- Once the Sangseon guys get here
- How long have you guys worked for me?
About five years.
I've worked with the boss for 15 years.
But
even though I worked my fucking ass off
I have nothing to show for it.
Some owners abandon their dogs
they raised their whole lives.
I need to break free
before anyone abandons me.
You in?
What?
They recovered the cash.
Really? And the delivery guys?
They're dead and buried.
Fucking idiots. Why the fuck
would they get themselves killed?
So, what happened?
I don't know the details yet,
but I hear Kwang-chul's going rogue.
He's stabbing the boss in the back.
That fucking piece of shit.
He's got a death wish.
We should use this
to take them all out, boss.
Just wait. I need time to think about it.
Just stay quiet for now.
Yes, sir.
Give it back!
Seriously!
What? Scream all you want.
Why do you care
if I wear makeup or not?
Everyone in school does.
It's not just me! You get it?
Why do you have to obsess
about every single little thing? Why?
I just don't get it.
Well, I don't either.
I mean, I really don't get
why you're so hysterical all the time.
Look, you're always getting on Dad's case,
and you're always getting on my case.
Why don't you just go
and live with Hyun-woo, huh?
You two can't live without each other.
That's how you talk
about your sick brother?
- Is this really the best you can do?
- What about you, Mom?
Is making Dad miserable
the best you can do?
You don't even care about us.
All you care about is getting divorced
so you could be happy!
Okay. Then just get divorced.
I'm sick and tired
of watching you two fight all the time.
You're absolutely right.
Our family needs to split up to be happy.
So just hurry up
and get divorced already!
Uh Eun-ju.
I hate this so much.
You think
I don't feel the same way?
Do I look happy to you?
Where are you? Come pick me up.
I dropped by with rice cakes
when I first moved in.
It looked like
a normal house on the inside.
But they were growing marijuana in there?
I mean, the house is so big.
he must have been running a big operation.
But I heard they haven't found him yet.
Gosh, that's so scary.
We need to make sure our doors are locked.
Hey, Dad.
Do something, please.
Our family is a mess right now.
Well, I don't know what to do either.
You're fearless
because you're still so young,
but we're old now,
so we need to play it safe.
There's no need to play it safe.
It's not like we're doing
anything illegal.
- Hey, because of that fool Han-cheol
- Who are you talking about?
We need to catch the Sangseon Ring.
That's where Kwang-chul is,
and where all their money is too.
All we have to do is wait.
Why should we retreat?
The Sangseon Ring's really
what you're looking for?
If you can't trust me with this,
I'll stop.
But do you think
you'll be able to stomach it?
What if I go somewhere else
and what if I start talking about it?
Hurry up and get me the results.
Because the guy above me
plays it safer than I do.
What was that important information
that Han-cheol mentioned
in his last report?
Who knows?
He disappeared
before I could hear him out.
You're driving me crazy.
What did the chief say?
He made a great big fuss
to get you pulled out,
so I had to go on the defensive for you.
It didn't work.
You withdrawing?
No, but he says he needs to see results.
Good.
The old man is playing safe
so his flaws aren't exposed.
But the chief's getting up
toward retirement age, so I get it.
I mean, he has big dreams, but he's
as incapable as Chief Investigator.
Shouldn't have started in the first place.
But you were against it as well.
Yeah. I didn't want anyone to get hurt.
What's the point of spilling blood
to catch those guys?
There'll always be new guys
to fill those spots.
Things are pretty hectic here too.
The Incheon Investigation Unit
just cracked a big case,
so it's making us all look bad.
How about you?
Are you making any progress?
We're just lurking
and sniffing around.
At least you're close enough
to catch a scent.
What we're doing is insignificant,
compared to what you're doing out there.
Do well. And be careful.
Well, I should go.
Let's grab a meal
together sometime.
Have it with your family.
Hey! Hey! What's going on?
What's going on?
A large scale
cyber drug-trafficking syndicate
was exposed today, with a recent
announcement from the police
regarding drug-related criminal activity,
Police report
that they seized enough narcotics
for over 300,000 individual doses
to be administered.
This particular drug ring focused
on using internet technology
We can't sell anything for the time being.
Everything stops. Fucking shit.
Dammit! Fuck the cops!
The criminals tried
to make it as easy as possible
for their clients to purchase their drugs.
As drug trafficking
has started to move online
How did you know
they'd be swooping in on us?
There aren't even any buyers right now.
All of them got caught.
I swear, these motherfuckers
have no goddamn loyalty at all.
As soon as one gets caught,
they all fall like dominos.
And us?
I made sure we wouldn't attract heat,
but we have to play it safe.
What's Kwang-chul up to?
He found the money.
Okay?
I don't know
what he's thinking.
Everything's so messed up,
he might be looking for a way out.
Why don't you ask him?
Isn't he your brother?
Shut down the warehouse for now.
Keep an eye on the guys.
So who's the bastard
who stole the money again?
Well, apparently, it's
Well, I
Yes.
Professor, I'll call you back later.
Yes.
All right.
You get in a drunken fight?
I'm sorry about what happened
with the professor thing,
but you need to get it together, okay?
You know I'm always
keeping an eye out for you.
I know a president
of a regional university,
and they're looking for a professor
Save that for someone else.
I, uh I need you to do me a favor, okay?
No.
- If you happen to get a call from Eun-ju
- No, don't ask me for favors.
Please tell her
that you and I are trying to start
a business related to school textbooks.
That's all you have to say if she asks.
What textbooks?
Just tell her that for me, okay?
What's going on, man?
You enjoy being a professor
for the rest of your life, man.
Don't ask. Later.
PROFESSOR'S RESEARCH OFFICE
He doesn't even do any fucking research.
Jesus Christ!
Asshole.
I don't think I can afford it
if your rates go up.
Books on economics,
they don't bring in a lot of work for us.
Well, is there any other work
you can give me then?
I can work on magazines,
documents, or even essays.
Uh, we have a lot of translators.
I was doing you a favor
because you insisted.
Are you really struggling?
Uh, never mind.
Let's just forget it.
I'll do what I'm doing now.
What's wrong? Am I embarrassing you?
No, it's just that
There are a lot of people on this campus.
People don't really care about you
as much as you think. Don't worry.
This is such a picture-perfect
college campus.
It's nice.
I never got an education
so I envy all this.
Why did you stop your car in front
of the police station this morning, huh?
You were there for at least five minutes.
What? Turning yourself in?
Your wife walked
into a hotel 30 minutes ago.
Does she have a meeting,
or is she having an affair?
Don't get distracted.
One phone call, and your wife
will be crossing theRiver Jordan.
You can just never be certain when someone
might have their eyes or ears on you.
That's how you treat this job.
"This This job"?
You're working for us now, dumbass.
You lecture in Busan today, right?
Make a stop on the way.
I didn't get another offer
to keep my gig in Busan, so I
There's always
an extra story, isn't there?
Then go get fresh air.
TRAIN TICKE
SEOUL TO BUSAN
After you get on the train,
someone will text you.
Do your best.
If you want your family alive.
Ah
The stuff is inside the car.
It's expensive.
You lose it, you're dead.
You're right.
That's a really good idea.
I mean,
this time we were so busy.
So how's your husband doing?
Hello in there?
We asked how your husband's doing?
Oh. He's fine.
Mmm, Eun-ju, Byeong-gu feels terrible
about the whole thing.
How was he supposed
to know that would happen?
What do you mean?
My husband tried to help Dong-ha
get appointed as a professor,
it didn't work out.
He just wasted his money.
What do you mean by that?
Oh, he greased his palm.
He bribed him.
Byeong-gu is, uh, uh, starting a business,
and he asked me if I could go in with him.
He just needed
to get his startup capital verified,
so I let him borrow it temporarily.
Byeong-gu should have
helped him out.
Hey! The only reason
he has those part-time lectures
is because Byeong-gu helped him out.
- That's how he got the job?
- Of course.
Byeong-gu's such a loyal friend.
Gosh, I was just saying
Hello,
I'm contacting you about Yeon-woo.
Do you have time to talk today?
Just a minute.
Stop talking about Dong-ha.
They're not on good terms right now.
They're considering a divorce.
It's so sad.
She came out today
because she needed money.
Really?
Should I lend her some money?
You wouldn't be lending it.
- Is she having that hard of a time?
- Hey, stop.
I
What? Is something wrong?
My life is so rough,
I can't even afford to sit and rest.
Hey, Mi-yeon.
Is it my fault that Byeong-gu liked me
when we were in school?
You've been talking behind my back
for ten years.
Don't you think you can finally stop now?
You live with him now.
I wasn't even interested
in Byeong-gu at all.
I mean, think about it.
When you two were busy
hanging out at the cafe,
I was always studying
in the school library.
And yet the world is so unfair.
There wasn't a single moment
in my life I didn't work hard.
Why did my life turn out like this?
Hey, Mi-yeon.
Watch your mouth or you might get slapped.
Where are you right now?
This seems to be
a common occurrence
Call me.
I've been called to the school.
Where are you? Call me,
while I'm still asking nicely.
- Do you want to see me go insane?
- Are you listening to what I'm saying?
No, not at all.
Pardon?
Our youngest is doing just fine right now.
She uses her brother as an excuse
to leave class early or skip entirely.
She was absent without leave,
so I was worried
something happened to her brother.
Wait, are you telling me
that she's been lying to you,
skipping class, and leaving early?
This is not acceptable.
Mrs. Kang, she was in
a physical altercation last year.
And we were fairly lenient
on her back then.
I'm busy today,
so Dad will pick you up.
I'll see you at home, Hyun-woo.
I apologize for all this.
Is her father aware of this situation?
Her dad is very busy right now.
Is there anything more urgent
than something concerning his child?
One bad apple can spoil the bunch.
In all honesty, Yeon-woo is
one of our more problematic kids.
I can't get in touch with her right now.
Do you think you could ask her friends?
Maybe they would have an idea
where she might be.
Well
- Wouldn't Ha-eun have an idea?
- Oh no, please.
Leave Ha-eun alone.
She was the victim in that altercation.
It seems to me that you know
basically nothing about Yeon-woo.
Ma'am, you don't seem to have any basic
understanding of what the problem is.
I'm sorry for doing
a poor job of raising my child.
But, sir, about that incident last year
DId Yeon-woo really start it?
Are you sure
you're not just ignoring the fact
that she's been bullied for a long time?
Yeon-woo was also hurt so badly
she had to stay in the hospital.
Above all, her psychological damage
is unspeakable.
Tell me, do you really know
what your children are doing and thinking
at all times every single day?
Can any parent really
fully understand their child?
Well, we all have to make an effort.
I know that I did.
From the moment she was born,
to this minute right now,
I tried everything I could,
and maybe more.
What Yeon-woo is trying to do,
what she's thinking about,
or why she seems to be so angry
at me all the time, I have no idea at all.
But I really am sorry
that I'm a bad parent, sir.
Hey, isn't this crazy pretty?
Yeah, it's so pretty,
but it's really expensive.
I've been saving up money for a while.
It's still not enough.
How much more do you need?
- How have you been, Ha-eun, huh?
- And who are you?
Yeon-woo's mom. We met
at that school violence committee.
Oh shit.
I can't get a hold of Yeon-woo today.
- Would you know where she is?
- Why would I care?
You probably know. Try to think carefully.
I said I don't know.
Sometimes enemies know
each other better than friends do.
So you might know.
And do I look like I care?
Your nose looks great.
I think your new nose is a lot prettier.
You did that with my money.
I'm so glad it turned out nice.
Oh God. I don't even know
what you're talking about.
Ha-eun, how much more do you need?
I can pay for another one, yeah?
Think about your family.
If you do anything stupid,
they will suffer.
Yes, all right.
I'll head back now.
The train has departed.
Send him the address
when he gets to Busan.
Yes, sir.
Let's get going.
Will you be okay?
Is there a problem?
It's just you turned your back them,
so I'm worried.
How would they even know
if I turned or not?
Yes.
I'm gonna need something from them anyway.
But there's also something to check.
Let's go.
You're here, Kwang-chul?
Did you find the money?
Oh goddamn.
He's got such a mean look in his eye.
PASS-ONE DISTRIBUTION
You're here.
- The money?
- We're still looking for it.
You're still looking?
Do you have a lot on your mind?
Not sure I"m following what you're saying
Things get slow
when you have a lot on your mind.
One of the weed dealers
was trying to hide away in there.
So he's not there anymore?
Was he killed?
No one's going to find him.
Is he solving problems right now?
Or is he making them?
Did that punk have the money?
Well, he died before we could find out.
We know that
the money disappeared in that area.
We'll just have to wait.
Someone will eventually show up.
We don't have much time.
I'll go meet the Sangseon Ring.
- And do what?
- I'll buy us some time.
Nothing matters
if we don't make it out alive.
I guess that
today might be the very last, for us.
Fuck,
why would you give that to him?
We need to check
if he's really going rogue.
The bastard's changed.
He used to just do what I told him to.
I told you.
He's the type of dog to bite the hand
that feeds him.
- Did he really find the money?
- I swear on my dead mother.
Bring it to me. Without it,
he can't deal with the Sangseon Ring.
We won't need to go catch the bastard.
- Oh, sir.
- Why are you in such a hurry?
Oh, it's nothing. Sorry, sir.
He should be arriving in Busan soon,
so text him the address.
Yes, sir.
- You go call Mr. Ma right now.
- Yes, sir.
Were you able to check
on that thing you were talking about?
I'm still working on it.
That professor is being
put through the wringer right now,
while his wife's chatting it up
in a hotel.
Right? She's living the life.
I'm not sure who he is,
but there's this guy
who rides a motorcycle.
I heard he stole it from somewhere.
And that he doesn't go to school.
And yes, nor home either.
He's just on his bike all the time.
I was just at Yeon-woo's school.
She skipped school,
so I'm out looking for her right now.
It's only been a year, but she might
need to transfer again.
You don't have any lectures
out in the country, right?
Please pick up Hyun-woo.
- Was it you?
- Hey! You said you would buy it.
Have you seen
a group of kids with a motorcycle?
Oh yeah.
Those guys were over at the arcade.
Fuck!
Can I ask you something?
Let's go.
Slowly, guys, everyone in the back.
I'm busy today,
so Dad will pick you up.
Sorry, see you at home.
Yo! Someone's coming this way.
Oh shit.
What? What's up?
It's my mom.
Then just go home.
Yeah, and she'll kill me. She's crazy.
We don't have money
to do anything.
And there's no place for you to crash.
Just go start the engine.
Park Yeon-woo.
Let's go.
I'm staying.
- Let's talk back at home, okay?
- I'm not going.
It's better here
than that shithole of a home.
- Then can we go talk in the car instead.
- No.
Park Yeon-woo.
Listen to me.
Her mom looks classy
in that dress.
- Elegant, bro.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry for what I did this morning.
I won't ever lay a hand on you again.
I promise you.
Try to understand me.
Just please try to see
where I'm coming from, Yeon-woo.
All day I've been really
miserable.
- Can we
- Let go!
Yeon-woo!
Let's get out of here!
I'm tired of this shit.
Wait.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
DONG-HA

- Hey, hey.
- Yeah?
Hey, are you sure
you're the guy Yong-soo sent?
S-s-s-sorry, I just couldn't
hear you too well.
Don't you even know your boss's name?
Yong-soo's gotten a lot more cautious.
Guess he didn't even let his delivery guy
know who he was.
But then again,
with all the mess the pigs are making
these days, I don't blame him.
Mmm.
Oh.
He says it looks good this time.
The last batch you guys sent over
was a little light.
- You add water?
- Huh?
If you fuckers keep on playing games
with the shipments,
I won't keep doing business with you.
- You got that?
- Yes.
What's this?
"Ka Kafka"
"Metamorphosis"?
What's this?
His ID says he's a college professor.
A professor?
A professor? For real?
Well, dang, man.
I've only met clients like you.
There's no one
in my line of business like this at all.
But why did you only bring one?
It used to be one per box,
so five in total.
Oh, I I was just, uh
Th-They They only gave me one.
What am I supposed to do
with one bottle? It's not enough.
He knows I'm the largest distributor
in all of Busan.
You guys aren't the only ones
going through lean times, you understand?
Look Look at his face.
I don't think he has any clue
what I'm talking about.
Whoa.
Hey.
You know,
we need to recruit a guy like this.
We could use a guy with
that kind of innocent look to his face.
Hey, listen to me.
Make sure to bring
at least three bottles next time.
Go tell Yong-soo.
If I'm not happy,
I'll find a new supplier.
Got it?
Mmm.
Let's go.
