A Model Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
[animal howling]
[man] War, disease, accidents…
Kill a lot of people every day.
[terrified breathing]
But there are a lot more people
that die…
because of money.
[terrified breathing]
Please forgive me. [grunts]
-[terrified whimper]
-What's so great about money?
You can't use it if you're dead.
[terrified whimper]
[grunting]
-I never…
-[grunting]
…should have laid my hands on that money.

[guitar music playing]
[newsreader] The author of
the best-selling book, "I Am Justice,"
and recent talk of the town,
Professor Kim…
Um, Dad?
-…was arrested late last night.
-[boy] Dad, are you okay?
-I'm fine.
-Professor Kim was disputing
allegations of sexual assault
with alleged victims,
when he was promptly arrested
after the authorities
managed to obtain text messages
and hotel security camera footage.
-Professor Kim…
-[boy] Dad, watch your hand.
…is the son of the director
of the Korea University foundation.
-When police received a report Miss A…
-[sighs] What's wrong with him?
…an anonymous student of his,
was sexually assaulted,
he claimed he had never heard
of the student in question…
[woman] What is it this time?
Huh? What do you mean?
Oh, this thing?
It's fine, it's… it's no… no big deal.
Don't you dare skip school today.
-[door opens]
-Yeon-woo, have a great day.
[door closes]
[dings]
-[washing machine dings]
-[water whooshes]
[sighs]
Hey, Dad, is your hand okay?
Mm-hmm. It's okay.
Wait, but, why aren't you going
to school today, Hyun-woo?
Today's picnic day.
Then shouldn't you be out on the picnic
with your classmates?
Mom said it could be dangerous.
That it's bad for my heart.
[sighs]
Being outside is dangerous, you know.
[woman] I'm going to my mom's
with the kids today.
Oh. Should I go after I, uh, finish up?
[sighs]
-How long are you going to drag this out?
-Huh?
Let's make a decision on our divorce.
-[door opens]
-[footsteps approaching]
[door closes]
Damn.
My God.
[sighs] I can't believe this happened.
How could things get so messed up?
The way this is playing out is
completely ridiculous.
They're saying because it wasn't a bribe
and it was actually an investment,
we won't be getting our money back.
Where does the foundation's director live?
Why are you looking for him?
I need to get the money back.
Do you know what that money was for?
It was for Hyun-woo's surgery.
Money that was supposed
to pay for his heart transplant.
My son's life depends on it.
I went behind Eun-ju's back
and I took out a large loan
that I can't afford.
You bribed someone
to become a college professor,
which could also be
a serious crime, Dong-ha.
You and I could both go down
in the blink of an eye.
I really don't care.
I deserve it.
But I still need
to take care of my family.
What about me? I'm going down too, man.
[breathes deeply]
Where does the director live?
Hey, we should go.
Why don't we go out for a drink
and come up with a nice plan, hmm?
-Hey.
-What?
Can you lend me some money?
Aw, come on, man. Where would I even…
Do you honestly think
I have any money right now?
-I'm broke. Just like you.
-[trembling breath]
Hey.
[man] What?
Just go fuck yourself.
-Aw, hey, come on, man. What's wrong?
-[grunts]
Go fuck yourself,
and that fucking commission,
everything else, you fucker.
Hey, hey, hey, I know Eun-ju keeps on
pushing for a divorce.
You'd be making a big mistake if any word
of this starts to spread.
We have to endure it. And suck it up.
"Endure"?
"Suck it up"?
[trembling breath]
You said the director
would take care of things. Huh?
You said that if I bribed him,
he'd make me professor!
I gave the director all my money
to try to become a professor,
but now my family's going to die
because of it. And you want me to what?
"Endure"? "Endure"?
"Men must endure.
Their going hence,
even as their coming hither,
-ripeness is all."
-[phone vibrates]
This is one of Edgar's lines
from King Lear.
Tragedy turns man into a pitiful creature.
Did fortune end up
finding the man who endured?
Edgar does indeed survive
until the end of the play.
-[yawns]
-[phone vibrating]
[students murmuring]
[sighs]
[phone vibrating]
Please give the book a read,
and don't just look up
the synopsis online.
That'll be it for today.

PARK HYUN-WOO
FACE TALK
[Dong-ha] Hey, Hyun-woo.
Hey, Dad. We're all at Grandma's house.
Yeah, I know.
It's Grandma's birthday today.
Aren't you coming?
Oh, I, uh…
Daddy has something, uh…
There's this thing I have to do,
so I already told her I can't make it.
[Hyun-woo] Oh, okay.
What about your meds?
Do you have them with you right now?
[Hyun-woo] Yeah, Dad.
Dad, don't forget to eat something,
and don't have any drinks.
Okay.
Remember. Don't forget
to take your meds, Hyun-woo.
Yeah.
-Hyun-woo, I'm really sorry.
-Why?
Because I, uh…
I'm sorry because
I really wanted to go with you today.
-[clears throat, sniffles]
-[Hyun-woo] It's okay, Dad.
All right, go on, okay?
Make sure to finish your dinner.
-[Hyun-woo] Okay.
-Mmm.

[line ringing]
[operator] 112, what's your emergency?
-Are you there?
-Uh… I…
Sir, what's your emergency?
Uh, no, it's nothing.
I… I pressed the number by mistake.
I'm sorry.
Dad must be so bored on his own.
It's the weekend.
You don't like it when Dad's not around?
We're a family.
We should all be together
if we're a family.
Get used to it.
Because he'll be gone soon, okay?
-[Eun-ju] Park Yeon-woo.
-What did I say?
He's smarter than you think, Mom.
[Eun-ju] Hyun-woo.
What would you think if we moved here?
-It's nice and close to the hospital.
-[Yeon-woo] I don't like it.
I just made all my friends
and now I have to move again?

[mellow music playing]
[Hyun-woo] You had a lot of guy friends,
didn't you, Mom?
[Eun-ju] Well,
it's not like I wasn't popular.
In middle school,
high school, and college,
there's always a guy next to you,
even in the group photos.
I was always part of the in-crowd.
[Hyun-woo] Why don't you have
a college graduation photo though?
[sighs]
Because I was pregnant with your sister.
We should go to bed now, Hyun-woo.
But Dad isn't in any of the photos.
Dad wasn't next to you back then,
or even now.
Do you think it'll be hard
without your dad?
I think we're all gonna be okay
without your dad, don't you?
So Dad isn't someone
you need in your life?
But, Mom, he's a good person.

No.
Oh.
Lots of people have this car,

[Blow.

The line's getting longer, sir.
Blow.

-Huh?
-Your phone's ringing.
-[phone vibrating]
[continues vibrating]
-Oh, uh, my daughter must've…
-[horns honking]
…left her phone in the car again.
-[honking continues]
-[officer] We've got a big line, sir.
KANG-JUN - WHERE ARE YOU?
DID YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT BASTARD?
You have got to keep it together.
[breathing shakily]
You're way beyond the point of no return.
From now on, there's no turning back.

[breathes deeply]
It's not bad money
if I use it to help my family.
[inhales deeply]
I should buy a house for us. [sighs]
And I should get a car for Eun-ju.
I'll buy Yeon-woo a new phone.
And for Hyun-woo…
a heart that will never stop beating.

-Why?
It's fine.
[club music playing in distance]
-Get the car.
-[man] Yes, sir.
[lighter opens, clicks]
[exhales smoke]
[whirring]
LET'S DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL
FOR OUR SOCIETY
[whirring stops]
-[vehicle engine revving]
-[indicator beeping]
Come on, Yong-soo. What's the point
of watching what you eat
if you're still going to chain-smoke
all the time?
[munching]
Kang said to find Kwang-chul.
[sighing] Ah.
He hasn't shown up since last night.
[slurping]
Yo, what happened to the van
that was on delivery to the Sangseon Ring?
I don't know.
I heard the chief is pissed, though.
[sighs]
Huh? Kwang-chul is here.
PASS-ONE DISTRIBUTION
[indicator beeping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[glass shattering]
[Kang-jun] What the hell?
Jesus Christ, you could've hurt him.
He got hurt. He's bleeding.
And where were you?
I was checking the guys
who siphoned off the goods, sir.
The money never arrived.
I know. I heard.
[Yong-soo] You should have picked
the right guys.
-How'll you fix this?
-I'll find them, sir.
Kkwang-chul surely won't
let you down again, am I right?
So intense.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What? Is it something I said?
It's not like we're family.
I'm not gonna defend you.
You're dead if you fail again.
You. Me. All of us.
I asked them to give us a week.
Is that enough time?
I'll find them, sir.
What a fucking shitty way
to start to the day.
You think it was Kwang-chul?
Yong-soo,
who else would be able to intercept
and steal the money?
Who else knew
about the money being delivered?
The only reason we're in this shitstorm is
because you trusted him.
Damn, it's like he's using
the fucking force.
He's like a Jedi.
Did he pick up?
The call went through,
but he's not answering.
What else?
The others left a while ago,
so they're probably almost there.
Let's go.
What are you doing here?
The chief has been looking for you.
You're in deep shit now.
And Kwang-chul?
Yong-soo gave him an earful
when he dropped by Pass-One.
He'll be here soon.
The delivery van is over there.
What? How'd you find it?
Kwang-chul is here.
[sighs]
-The money?
-The money's not here, sir.
Is that blood, sir?
Take the car to the office
and meet up with us later.
Where are you going, sir?
To look for the money.
[man] Yes, sir. Let's go.
[lighter opens, clicks]
[man 2] Should we tail them?
[inhales deeply]
Follow the delivery van.
I need to meet with the chief
and get an earful.
[man 2] What? [sighs]
[grunts loudly]
[thuds]
[exhales] Shit.
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
-[breathing heavily]
-[dog barking]
What do you know, huh?
You don't know anything.
[barking]
You're such an annoying stupid mutt.
Yes, I'd like to schedule an appointment.
Park Hyun-woo.
[woman on phone] Park Hyun-woo?
Just a moment please.
Thanks. [sighs]

TRANSFER BY PARK DONG-HA: 35,000,000 WON
BALANCE: 4,720 WON
Hello?
Are you still there?
[panting]
[sighs]
What happened?
Shouldn't we wait for Grandma and Grandpa?
[sighs] Just get in first.
We're going home.
[breathing frantically]
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[Eun-ju panting]
Why do you always get to do
whatever you want?
Fine, go ahead and stay here!
Hyun-woo and I have to leave right now.
Do whatever you want!
You should at least tell Grandma
and Grandpa that we're going back home.
-Mmm.
-Let them know something just came up.…
I'll call them when we leave.
[breathing deeply]
-[sighs] I'm so sick of this.
-[engine starts]
Shut it, Park Yeon-woo.
I'm just so sick of this.
I hate going back home
because of you and Dad.
Everything feels like crap!
Just go and get a divorce already!
[sighs]
Do you seriously think
I want to live like this?
You're not the only one
who's sick of this!
[sighs]
[shifting gears]
-[engine revving]
-[tires screeching]
[exhales]
It's okay. It's okay.
No one knows. No one--
[breathing anxiously]
[line ringing]
Y-Yeon-woo…
-Hey, Dad, we're back.
-Hey. What's with Yeon-woo?
Yeon-woo's not the problem right now.
Mom's upset…
Eun-ju, I thought you guys
were supposed to be coming back tomorrow?
Are you kidding me?
I never touched the money
no matter how much I wanted to.
-[inhales, sighs]
-Wait, what?
Oh, uh…
I just let someone borrow it
for a little bit. I promise.
-I didn't blow it all.
-[Eun-ju] Then explain it to me.
If you can't explain it,
our marriage is done.
Okay, well, uh…
Byeong-gu is, uh, starting a business,
and he asked me if I could go in with him.
He wants it to be a publishing company
for school textbooks.
The company's also going to be
doing content development.
I mean, you know, content development
is really important nowadays.
But the thing is…
He just needed to get
his start-up capital verified,
so I let him borrow it temporarily.
He'll pay me back next week.
I promise you, Eun-ju.
Are you serious right now?
Would you believe that if you were me?
[Dong-ha] I've got a contract
to author the textbooks,
so from now on, Eun-ju,
I'm going to be making good money.
Yeon-woo's academy,
Hyun-woo's hospital bills, our expenses…
We don't have to worry anymore.
[scoffs] And you trust Byeong-gu?
He can talk the foundation director
into helping us.
Eun-ju, everything will turn out fine
this time around.
I'll cut down on my lectures,
and I'll pay more attention
to our family. Huh?
[sighs]
That cash is Hyun-woo's life.
Put it back, right now.

[knocking on door]
Hey, Yeon-woo.
Why are you so spooked?
No-- What do you mean? It's just nothing.
Why? What's up?
[sighs] I can't sleep
because of the noise.
[scoffs]
There isn't any other neighborhood
in the world that's as quiet as this one.
No, I'm talking about the phone.
What do you mean by that?
[phone ringing]
-[ringing continues]
-[sighs]
Yeon-woo, so I just heard it
and it's really not that loud.
[sighs] It's not that loud,
but it's scary.
Our backyard faces the woods,
so then why do I hear
someone's phone ringing?
It probably belongs to someone
from the house in front.
That guy really doesn't
sleep much at night,
and the lights are always on.
The next time I see him,
I'll make sure to give him a talking to.
Don't worry and get some sleep. It's late.
Ugh.
[sighs]
[keys clacking]
CELL PHONE LOCATION TRACKING
THE POLICE FOUND MY LOCATION
IN A STARTLING SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME
[man] After you fill out the forms
and they receive the request for tracking…
Super important tip.
You have to do this through the police.
Or else your carrier won’t do a thing.
You’ll be able to track the location.
The main thing is
that you need to report them as missing.
The phone needs to be on
to guarantee results.
[line ringing]
[line continues ringing]
[car door closes]
We scoured all the routes the car took.
But this area seems suspicious.
Instead of going straight to the drop-off,
they stopped by this neighborhood.
Then the car was left
in the woods and he went off the grid.
Should I call the guys?

IN LOVING MEMORY OF NAM MUN-CHEOL
[humming]
[man] War, disease, accidents…
Kill a lot of people every day.
[terrified breathing]
But there are a lot more people
that die…
because of money.
[terrified breathing]
Please forgive me. [grunts]
-[terrified whimper]
-What's so great about money?
You can't use it if you're dead.
[terrified whimper]
[grunting]
-I never…

[newsreader] The author of
the best-selling book, "I Am Justice,"
and recent talk of the town,
Professor Kim…
Um, Dad?
-…was arrested late last night.
-[boy] Dad, are you okay?
-I'm fine.
-Professor Kim was disputing
allegations of sexual assault
with alleged victims,
when he was promptly arrested
after the authorities
managed to obtain text messages
and hotel security camera footage.
-Professor Kim…
-[boy] Dad, watch your hand.
…is the son of the director
of the Korea University foundation.
-When police received a report Miss A…
-[sighs] What's wrong with him?
…an anonymous student of his,
was sexually assaulted,
he claimed he had never heard
of the student in question…
[woman] What is it this time?
Huh? What do you mean?
Oh, this thing?
It's fine, it's… it's no… no big deal.
Don't you dare skip school today.
-[door opens]
-Yeon-woo, have a great day.
[door closes]
[dings]
-[washing machine dings]
-[water whooshes]
[sighs]
Hey, Dad, is your hand okay?
Mm-hmm. It's okay.
Wait, but, why aren't you going
to school today, Hyun-woo?
Today's picnic day.
Then shouldn't you be out on the picnic
with your classmates?
Mom said it could be dangerous.
That it's bad for my heart.
[sighs]
Being outside is dangerous, you know.
[woman] I'm going to my mom's
with the kids today.
Oh. Should I go after I, uh, finish up?
[sighs]
-How long are you going to drag this out?
-Huh?
Let's make a decision on our divorce.
-[door opens]
-[footsteps approaching]
[door closes]
Damn.
My God.
[sighs] I can't believe this happened.
How could things get so messed up?
The way this is playing out is
completely ridiculous.
They're saying because it wasn't a bribe
and it was actually an investment,
we won't be getting our money back.
Where does the foundation's director live?
Why are you looking for him?
I need to get the money back.
Do you know what that money was for?
It was for Hyun-woo's surgery.
Money that was supposed
to pay for his heart transplant.
My son's life depends on it.
I went behind Eun-ju's back
and I took out a large loan
that I can't afford.
You bribed someone
to become a college professor,
which could also be
a serious crime, Dong-ha.
You and I could both go down
in the blink of an eye.
I really don't care.
I deserve it.
But I still need
to take care of my family.
What about me? I'm going down too, man.
[breathes deeply]
Where does the director live?
Hey, we should go.
Why don't we go out for a drink
and come up with a nice plan, hmm?
-Hey.
-What?
Can you lend me some money?
Aw, come on, man. Where would I even…
Do you honestly think
I have any money right now?
-I'm broke. Just like you.
-[trembling breath]
Hey.
[man] What?
Just go fuck yourself.
-Aw, hey, come on, man. What's wrong?
-[grunts]
Go fuck yourself,
and that fucking commission,
everything else, you fucker.
Hey, hey, hey, I know Eun-ju keeps on
pushing for a divorce.
You'd be making a big mistake if any word
of this starts to spread.
We have to endure it. And suck it up.
"Endure"?
"Suck it up"?
[trembling breath]
You said the director
would take care of things. Huh?
You said that if I bribed him,
he'd make me professor!
I gave the director all my money
to try to become a professor,
but now my family's going to die
because of it. And you want me to what?
"Endure"? "Endure"?
"Men must endure.
Their going hence,
even as their coming hither,
-ripeness is all."
-[phone vibrates]
This is one of Edgar's lines
from King Lear.
Tragedy turns man into a pitiful creature.
Did fortune end up
finding the man who endured?
Edgar does indeed survive
until the end of the play.

[Dong-ha] Hey, Hyun-woo.
Hey, Dad. We're all at Grandma's house.
Yeah, I know.
It's Grandma's birthday today.
Aren't you coming?
Oh, I, uh…
Daddy has something, uh…
There's this thing I have to do,
so I already told her I can't make it.
[Hyun-woo] Oh, okay.
What about your meds?
Do you have them with you right now?
[Hyun-woo] Yeah, Dad.
Dad, don't forget to eat something,
and don't have any drinks.
Okay.
Remember. Don't forget
to take your meds, Hyun-woo.
Yeah.
-Hyun-woo, I'm really sorry.
-Why?
Because I, uh…
I'm sorry because
I really wanted to go with you today.
-[clears throat, sniffles]
-[Hyun-woo] It's okay, Dad.

Sir, what's your emergency?
Uh, no, it's nothing.
I… I pressed the number by mistake.
I'm sorry.
Dad must be so bored on his own.
It's the weekend.
You don't like it when Dad's not around?
We're a family.
We should all be together
if we're a family.
Get used to it.
Because he'll be gone soon, okay?
-[Eun-ju] Park Yeon-woo.
-What did I say?
He's smarter than you think, Mom.
[Eun-ju] Hyun-woo.
What would you think if we moved here?
-It's nice and close to the hospital.
-[Yeon-woo] I don't like it.
I just made all my friends
and now I have to move again?

[Eun-ju] Well,
it's not like I wasn't popular.
In middle school,
high school, and college,
there's always a guy next to you,
even in the group photos.
I was always part of the in-crowd.
[Hyun-woo] Why don't you have
a college graduation photo though?
[sighs]
Because I was pregnant with your sister.
We should go to bed now, Hyun-woo.
But Dad isn't in any of the photos.
Dad wasn't next to you back then,
or even now.
Do you think it'll be hard
without your dad?
I think we're all gonna be okay
without your dad, don't you?
So Dad isn't someone
you need in your life?
But, Mom, he's a good person.

[munching]
Kang said to find Kwang-chul.
[sighing] Ah.
He hasn't shown up since last night.
[slurping]
Yo, what happened to the van
that was on delivery to the Sangseon Ring?
I don't know.
I heard the chief is pissed, though.
[sighs]
Huh? Kwang-chul is here.
PASS-ONE DISTRIBUTION
[indicator beeping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[glass shattering]
[Kang-jun] What the hell?
Jesus Christ, you could've hurt him.
He got hurt. He's bleeding.
And where were you?
I was checking the guys
who siphoned off the goods, sir.
The money never arrived.
I know. I heard.
[Yong-soo] You should have picked
the right guys.
-How'll you fix this?
-I'll find them, sir.
Kkwang-chul surely won't
let you down again, am I right?
So intense.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What? Is it something I said?
It's not like we're family.
I'm not gonna defend you.
You're dead if you fail again.
You. Me. All of us.
I asked them to give us a week.
Is that enough time?
I'll find them, sir.
What a fucking shitty way
to start to the day.
You think it was Kwang-chul?
Yong-soo,
who else would be able to intercept
and steal the money?
Who else knew
about the money being delivered?
The only reason we're in this shitstorm is
because you trusted him.
Damn, it's like he's using
the fucking force.
He's like a Jedi.
Did he pick up?
The call went through,
but he's not answering.
What else?
The others left a while ago,
so they're probably almost there.
Let's go.
What are you doing here?
The chief has been looking for you.
You're in deep shit now.
And Kwang-chul?
Yong-soo gave him an earful
when he dropped by Pass-One.
He'll be here soon.
The delivery van is over there.
What? How'd you find it?
Kwang-chul is here.
[sighs]
-The money?
-The money's not here, sir.
Is that blood, sir?
Take the car to the office
and meet up with us later.
Where are you going, sir?
To look for the money.
[man] Yes, sir. Let's go.
[lighter opens, clicks]
[man 2] Should we tail them?
[inhales deeply]
Follow the delivery van.
I need to meet with the chief
and get an earful.
[man 2] What? [sighs]

Hyun-woo and I have to leave right now.
Do whatever you want!
You should at least tell Grandma
and Grandpa that we're going back home.
-Mmm.
-Let them know something just came up.…
I'll call them when we leave.
[breathing deeply]
-[sighs] I'm so sick of this.

Shut it, Park Yeon-woo.
I'm just so sick of this.
I hate going back home
because of you and Dad.
Everything feels like crap!
Just go and get a divorce already!

I want to live like this?
You're not the only one

-Hey. What's with Yeon-woo?
Yeon-woo's not the problem right now.
Mom's upset…
Eun-ju, I thought you guys
were supposed to be coming back tomorrow?
Are you kidding me?
I never touched the money
no matter how much I wanted to.
-[inhales, sighs]
-Wait, what?
Oh, uh…
I just let someone borrow it
for a little bit. I promise.
-I didn't blow it all.
-[Eun-ju] Then explain it to me.
If you can't explain it,
our marriage is done.
Okay, well, uh…
Byeong-gu is, uh, starting a business,
and he asked me if I could go in with him.
He wants it to be a publishing company
for school textbooks.
The company's also going to be
doing content development.
I mean, you know, content development
is really important nowadays.
But the thing is…
He just needed to get
his start-up capital verified,
so I let him borrow it temporarily.
He'll pay me back next week.
I promise you, Eun-ju.
Are you serious right now?
Would you believe that if you were me?
[Dong-ha] I've got a contract
to author the textbooks,
so from now on, Eun-ju,
I'm going to be making good money.
Yeon-woo's academy,
Hyun-woo's hospital bills, our expenses…
We don't have to worry anymore.
[scoffs] And you trust Byeong-gu?
He can talk the foundation director
into helping us.
Eun-ju, everything will turn out fine
this time around.
I'll cut down on my lectures,
and I'll pay more attention
to our family. Huh?
[sighs]
That cash is Hyun-woo's life.
Put it back, right now.

Hey, Yeon-woo.
Why are you so spooked?
No-- What do you mean? It's just nothing.
Why? What's up?
[sighs] I can't sleep
because of the noise.
[scoffs]
There isn't any other neighborhood
in the world that's as quiet as this one.
No, I'm talking about the phone.
What do you mean by that?
[phone ringing]
-[ringing continues]
-[sighs]
Yeon-woo, so I just heard it
and it's really not that loud.
[sighs] It's not that loud,
but it's scary.
Our backyard faces the woods,
so then why do I hear
someone's phone ringing?
It probably belongs to someone
from the house in front.
That guy really doesn't
sleep much at night,
and the lights are always on.
The next time I see him,
I'll make sure to give him a talking to.
Don't worry and get some sleep. It's late.
Ugh.

CELL PHONE LOCATION TRACKING
THE POLICE FOUND MY LOCATION

and they receive the request for tracking…
Super important tip.
You have to do this through the police.
Or else your carrier won’t do a thing.
You’ll be able to track the location.
The main thing is
that you need to report them as missing.
The phone needs to be on
to guarantee results.
