A Model Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Knock knock.

Eun-ju, look over here.

What are you doing?

I'm filming you.

Don't film me.

No, I'm going to keep filming.

Stop it.

Wow. Eun-ju, you still got it.
You're still so pretty.

-Please.
-Smile.

All right...

You really haven't changed one bit.



Lucky you.

KANG EUN-JU

KANG EUN-JU - I CAN'T SEEM TO REACH YOU
MISSED CALL

KANG EUN-JU - IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
I CAN'T SEEM TO REACH YOU

Can you call me?

Hang on.

Are you busy?

Yeah, I have a lot going on.
I'll call you later.

Do you have time on Wednesday?

Is Thursday okay?

-Did you get home safely yesterday?
-Yeah, you?

I'm at my parent's house.

It was so hectic
that I just saw your missed call.

Is everything okay?



I can't seem to reach you.

Knock, knock.

Eun-ju.

What are you doing?

I'm filming you.

-Don't film me.
-No, I'm going to keep filming.

-Stop it.
-Gosh.

Eun-ju, you're still so pretty.

-Please.
-Smile.

You really haven't changed one bit.

Lucky you.

The Yongsoo Ring is a group
that distributes drugs around the nation.

When the head cartel supplies the drugs,
they distribute them.

Once they get money from selling drugs,
they take a cut

and send the rest to the head cartel.

We received a hot tip,

so we tracked the delivery van
headed for the head cartel.

But we lost it.

We lost all contact,
and we haven't gotten any updates.

You guys were running your damn mouths
about breaking into the head cartel!

You had everyone on standby
and messed it up?

What's your next move?

-Are you going to give up?
-I spent two years on this case.

I can't give up.

Do you have a plan?

Before going missing, he told me
he had some important information.

But finding one of our own comes first.
Even if it's a dead body.

But no one has found him!

-We need to track his phone.
-Get your head straight, man.

"Your Honor, we lost one of our men
while running an illegal investigation."

"Could you help with a warrant, please?"

Is that what you're going to say?

If any of this gets out,

you think we'll just lose our badges?

So, we need to find a way to...

Keep looking into the head cartel,

and get rid of anything that has to do
with the undercover operation.

It never happened.

Kang Joo-hyun, do you understand?

Fuck.

PERSONAL DETAILS REPORT
YOO HAN-CHEOL

-Hello.
-Where's the car?

It's still at the Pass-one parking lot.

-What about Kwang-chul?
-I'm looking for him.

Hey, put on your masks, man.

Yes, sir.

-Is this stuff going out tomorrow?
-Yes.

Make sure you don't mix them up.

You don't want some guy
boiling a pack of ramen to start tweaking.

Damn it.

Did this motherfucker
really die or something?

What are you looking at?

It's just...

I mean, you sitting right next to me
reminds me...

of an ex-girlfriend of mine.

Who's better, me or her?

Oh jeez. You're so much better.

You interested?

I thought...

I thought we weren't allowed
to date other detectives.

We aren't.

It never ends well.

Well, you never know unless you start...

Damn it, you're getting too cheeky.

What you're interested in is
if I'm hiding something from you, right?

No, I mean...

One of our informants went undercover
into Kwang-chul's gang.

Why wouldn't you tell me
something like that?

That's the whole point
of being undercover.

Wow. Seriously...

Talk about love for your colleagues.

I know.

That's one thing I have in spades.

The delivery van is on the move.

-So, he hasn't found it yet?
-No, sir.

Then what the hell is
that Kwang-chul doing right now?

I heard he moved into the suburbs.

Where?

I don't have any of the details.
All I heard was that it was the suburbs.

He's living the life
while we're all about to die.

Make sure everything goes smoothly.

Yes, sir.

-Gosh, you scared me!
-Shit.

-You guys are working hard.
-Hello.

They scrapped it.

I guess we can't salvage
anything any more.

Gosh. These morons
took a perfectly good van and just...

What do we chase now?

What about Kwang-chul?

He's going around
trying to fix the delivery mess-up.

He's been gone since yesterday.

Yong-soo looked
pretty pissed off at Kwang-chul.

Wait, how did you know

that the delivery van was headed
to the head cartel?

One of the guys on the delivery
was apparently on our side.

Undercover?

Hold on. Who?

Why didn't we know?

Isn't that the whole point
of being undercover?

You two follow him.
We need to go somewhere else.

-We'll be heading out then.
-Hey, Yun-seok.

-What?
-Come over here.

Are you getting cheeky
because Joo-hyun keeps you next to her?

The whole point of being what?
You're pushing it, rookie.

-Come on.
-Watch it.

You should've gotten on her good side.
Life is all about connections.

-Get over here, come here.
-A car's coming.

Bye.

-What should we do with him?
-Jeez. He's a cheeky one.

Here.

It's an abandoned house, but it will do.

Do you need anything else, sir?

That house over there.

The lights were on all night.

-The house with the dog?
-Yeah.

Some weird bastard
is living all alone in that big house.

-Look into it.
-Yes, sir.

That family left early in the morning.

Check if they're moving or running away.

Do you have pictures
of the two missing guys?

Yes, sir.

Spread them around to all the spots
they might hit with the cash.

Have them call us even if it's not them.

-Yes, sir.
-Oh, and be discreet.

Word might spread.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for the food.

Take your meds, Hyun-woo.

Okay.

Hey.

What's the real reason?

If I just do a little better,

things are going to get better for us.

No.

It's impossible.

Just do as you always do.

You haven't made a decision yet, right?

You have always been indecisive.

You miss the right time,
and end up messing everything up.

You couldn't even decide
which café to go to when we were dating.

Maybe you're timid
because you think too much,

or you think too much
because you're so timid.

I've been making
all the decisions for you since then.

But there's one decision I made
that you didn't go along with.

Working as a part-time lecturer
to be a professor,

when you should've known
that you were never going to make it.

There are things that will never happen.

Things will get better, Eun-ju.

Aren't you tired of saying that?

How much do we make from your lectures
and my part-time translating?

I've been asking for money
from my mom to raise the kids.

Since one of them is sick,

I spent all my time taking care of him.

I blamed myself for his illness.

It felt like it was my fault.

Where were you then?

You went lecturing out in the countryside,

saying everything would be okay.

You came home late and left in the morning
in order to become a professor.

On the weekends, you'd follow
the professors on their golfing trips,

and fishing trips.

What about our family?

Have we gone on a real vacation together?

Have you ever taken us to Southeast Asia,
or even Jeju Island, for that matter?

You were indecisive and timid,
and yet so stubborn.

It's that stubbornness of yours
that made us turn out like this.

Let me make one final decision for you.

We need to get a divorce.

It'll be better for you, me, and the kids.

Next week,
we have to pay utilities, insurance,

credit cards, tutoring expenses, and rent.

I can't just sit back
and take your word for it.

How much? I'll give it to you.

The owner is coming back to Korea.
We have to move out of this house too.

So, how much is everything?

For the rest of the year...

No, wait, I'll give you enough
for ten years. How much is it?

Are you joking?

I'm not joking.
Don't ask your mom for money anymore.

I'll make sure you don't have to worry
about money anymore.

So stop...

making me feel so pathetic.

HOW TO LAUNDER MONEY

LAUNDERING A LARGE SUM

I WILL LAUNDER MONEY FOR YOU

I DO LAUNDRY
INQUIRE WITHIN

What is this?

1:1 CONSULTATION REQUEST

GUEST

DO YOU DO LAUNDRY?

GUEST - DO YOU DO LAUNDRY?

Dad.

Oh, Hyun-woo. What is it?

-What?
-Do you want to play catch?

Jeez.

You got in trouble with Mom last time
because you ran out of breath.

How about a board game?

I can stop if I run out of breath.

It's been a while
since you've been home like this.

All right. Let's do it. Let's play.

Daddy's not busy at all.
I don't need to be busy anymore.

All right. Let's go.

WASHER - YES, I DO
I CAN GET IT SUPER CLEAN

HOW MUCH LAUNDRY DO YOU HAVE?

He stayed in this neighborhood
for three hours and 26 minutes?

This looks like
a normal countryside suburb.

We should look into the residents here.

There must be a reason why he came here.

Hey, you're pretty good at this, Hyun-woo.

Dad, throw it harder.

It's Kwang-chul.

Don't make a scene.
He doesn't know our faces.

As long as you don't act up.

Let's just loop around the neighborhood.

Here, heads up! Here it comes.

You asshole...

Let's act like newlyweds.

And stop swearing, for goodness' sake.

Catch! Watch it. Oh jeez.

There we go! Heads up!

We must really look like a couple.

Hey, move your arm right now.

I was wondering where Kwang-chul went.

He must have completely settled in.

Kwang-chul doesn't fit in
with such peaceful neighborhood like this.

Yun-seok.

Yes?

Should we just live together?

There are a few vacant houses
in that neighborhood.

People bought the land and built houses,

but a lot of them weren't sold.

So the contractors just left
after selling them for cheap.

They haven't been looked after
but are still new developments.

Are the two of you newlyweds?

-Oh, us?
-Yeah.

We're just...

newlyweds.

Well, that's great then.

There are no daycare centers
or schools around,

so it's tough for families with kids.

The houses are nice and cheap,
but no one wants to buy them.

Does the neighborhood have
a guard post or security cameras?

What?

My wife is a scaredy-cat. Were you scared?

That neighborhood
doesn't need any of that.

Not even stray cats steal food.

Everyone in the neighborhood
is nice and predictable.

What are you going to do
about the down payment?

You're acting on an impulse right now.

-Find out if they do short-term leases.
-What about the money?

We can split it.
We're a dual-income household, dumbass.

What?

I can barely afford to pay my own rent.

That's a lot...

Okay.

Catch!

Here it goes!

Catch! Here!

Here!

Oh, whoops. Run. Pick it up!

Throw it right away. Here!

There we go!

As hard as you can!

Come on!

-Sorry, Dad.
-Come on, man!

Super sorry.

-What's the matter?
-Call 911.

Oh my.

Gosh.

Hyun-woo!

The child isn't breathing.

Okay. Please come quickly.

Hyun-woo!

Hyun-woo!

What happened? Hyun-woo!

Hyun-woo!

Let's get an X-ray first.

Okay, understood.

EMERGENCY CENTER

I'm sorry, Mom.

Dad said no, but I kept insisting.

I'm sorry.

Can I speak with the parents for a moment?

I assume you're already aware
of your son's condition?

He has a congenital heart disease,
and he's already had a few surgeries.

In addition to heart failure,
there are a number of complications.

He needs good care
until he gets a heart transplant.

Do you know what Hyun-woo's wish is?

He wants to ride a bike,

skateboard, play soccer,

shoot layups,

and run a 100-meter dash
as fast as he possibly can.

Do you now understand why I never

allowed him to do any of that?

You played catch?

And you call yourself his dad? You?

You want to know the real reason?

Let's stop.

I don't want anything from you.

Just put back the money for his surgery.

WASHER - HOW MUCH LAUNDRY DO YOU HAVE?
010-0228-5950

I gave photos of the missing men
to the places they'll likely visit.

As for the family that moved out today,

it was because
their child transferred schools.

But that guy in the house
with the lights on is notorious.

-For what?
-For bud. Marijuana.

He doesn't even import the stuff.

He apparently grows
and distributes them himself.

The reason he keeps the lights on at night

is because he's growing all that weed.

You think that might explain
why they stopped by this area?

Let's ask him ourselves.

-First time?
-Yes.

If you're looking to save on taxes,
you should find a tax accountant.

It's not that.

Are you aware
that this isn't exactly legal?

Yes, I'm just in a bit of a hurry.

Where should I go?

Shit, man.

Just leave it.

Goddammit.

Who is it?

Hi, I'm from just across the street.

Are you the owner of this dog?

A dog?

-Are you talking about Hash?
-"Hash"?

What a great name.
Hash is concentrated marijuana.

Oh, I think something happened to Hash.

What's the matter?

I mean, he's not getting up.
Come out and take a look.

-Did something happen to Hash?
-Well, hello there.

What the fuck?

You little fucker.

-What the fuck?
-Go inside.

-Who the hell are you guys?
-Get inside.

This guy's too fucking loud, man.

-Let me go!
-Jeez, just stay still!

JUNIN ELECTRONICS PLAZA

BUILDING 21 UNIT 3-53, GEOSANG C&C
BUILDING 21 UNIT 3-54, GEOSANG C&C

COMPUTER ASSEMBLY

Today we had a beautiful taste of summer.

The skies were clear,
and throughout the peninsula,

the daily highs reached
well over 26 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow...

I chatted with you online.

What chat? Are you here
to fix your computer at this hour?

No, well,

I chatted with someone on the blog.

I'm here to get my laundry done.

-"Laundry"?
-Yes.

What laundry?

I think you came to the wrong place.

There aren't any dry cleaners
in this building.

Isn't this unit 302?

-Bit B Computers?
-It is.

FOURTH FLOOR UNIT 402

Jeez.

It's like a jungle in here.

You guys aren't cops, are you?

No. I'm the one asking the questions here.
You just answer.

Where's the money?

What money?

I said I'm asking the questions.

Where are my guys?

Your guys...

Your guys

are standing right next to you, dumbass.

I can't tell if he's got
some balls on him, or if he's just high.

You'd better watch your mouth
if you want to keep your tongue.

Not his tongue. We still need him to talk.

Where did you hide my money?

What does your money look like?

You should've written your name on it,
motherfucker!

Is this it?

Aren't you laundering?

-Is this all of it?
-Yes, for now.

There's another round coming?

You were too nervous to bring all of it?

We'll launder it through cryptocurrency.

We take a 30% cut.

The longer it takes,
the safer your money is.

Are you in a rush?

Yes, kind of.

I'll hook you up with an older wallet.

So you've been trading
in crypto for a while now,

but recently sold everything off.

Once 70% of the clean money
is deposited into your account,

feel free to spend it however you want.
Do you understand?

No, not really.

You don't have to.

What's important are the results.

Only use this phone to contact me.

You can leave now.

-That's... that's it?
-Yeah, what else would there be?

Just how am I supposed to trust you
with this money?

Then you can take all of it back

and hide it in your backyard for a while,
how about that?

I saw you walk in alone.
Are you in finance?

-Or is it the National Assembly?
-No, I'm not.

You don't look like a bookie,

and there's nothing
in the news about a bank robbery.

I'm sorry. I'll be back next time.

Hey.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

You're just going to leave? What are you?

-A cop?
-No.

I'm just...

Where'd you get that money?

It's not political slush fund money,

or pocket money from a large corporation.

It's not gambling.

And loan sharks are our main clients
so there's no way I wouldn't know.

Who are you, man?

I'm sorry.

Get him.

You've never seen him before?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I've never seen him before.

-Let's cut off another toe.
-Yes, sir.

Wait!

I remember!

I remember now!

I'm not sure,

but they came in a car.

It was like... I can't remember the color.

But it was a foreign car.

Not a domestic SUV?

Was it a domestic car?

I don't know. But,

the guys wanted to buy some hash.

They said they had loads of cash,
and they took it out of a bag to show me.

Wait, that's what we told you earlier!

That's what happened, man.

Damn it! What the fuck?

-That's what you told me to say!
-Fuck.

-What now?
-Jeez.

You bastards!

-Bring it on, motherfucker!
-Fuck!

Fuck! Damn it.

You fucking assholes!

Hey! Fuck.

Fucker!

Fucking asshole.

Get over here.

Get off me!

Fuck!

Damn it!

What the fuck? Hey!

Assholes! You fucking assholes!

Fuck! Come and get some.

Motherfuckers!

Get up, asshole.

Fucking asshole!

Fuck!

What the fuck.

Seriously, what the fuck.

I don't think this is the guy.

If I catch you, you're dead!

Hey, you punk!
