A Model Family (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

Episode 5

1
Whenever something like this happens,
I always remember
that no one in this life dies in vain.
Every death brings a small lesson.
It's really simple.
Just "Don't be a traitor."
Is it really that hard?
[whirring]
But he didn't die in vain.
Even a snitch like him
had a valuable lesson
to teach you as he left us.
Now tell me
are you two ready to learn?
As soon as I call,
hang up and call right back.
I won't answer any other number.
So make it work.
And take his lesson to heart.
[thrilling music playing]
[flip phone opens]
Dong-ha is on his way back now.
- [Kwang-chul] Any problems?
- [Jung-bae] No, sir.
- He did well.
- Keep an eye on the money.
[Jung-bae] Yes, sir.
Jung-bae.
Is what we're doing a betrayal?
If we lose, it's betrayal.
But if we win,
wouldn't it be called something else?
[chuckles softly]
Get some rest, sir.

THERE'S AN ISSUE
WITH THE MONEY TO THE HEAD CARTEL.
PLEASE CALL ME.
[tense music playing]
[engine revving]
[weathercaster]
We're expecting rain showers
in the Seoul and Eastern Gyeonggi regions
anywhere from 5 to 30mm.
We anticipate heavy rain showers
in short intervals.
We advise everyone to take the necessary
precautions
[agent 1 inhales deeply] Hmm.
What is that?
That's a cell phone.
It's not like it's made out of
solid fucking gold or something.
Then why is a shitty phone popping up
out of nowhere, huh?
Sangseon?
[exhales]
Look at it. That's a 2G phone.
Who even uses a 2G phone these days?
What is he, a caveman?
[agent 2] That's because 2G phones
are hard to track.
Only guys that have something
to hide need them.
So, wait. If we can get our hands on it,
it's game over.
- Bingo!
- Oh!
You guys really made some headway, huh?
Yeah, you're finally catching up.
The Sangseon Ring will go there
to take care of Kwang-chul's mess.
So we can't afford to lose him now.
Keep a close eye on the professor.
We need him as a witness.
- If you don't, he could die.
- [Yun-seok] Understood.
[gulps, exhales]
Good work, guys.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- [grunts]
- [exhales]
[sighs]
Night, ladies.
[sighs]
Jeez, man. How much did you drink?
[moans drunkenly]
What the
- You two dating?
- Ah, you little shit.
- I should be asking you that.
- Hey!
[agent] Next time don't drink so much.
[Yun-seok] You only drank
so you wouldn't have to drive.
- See you later.
- [Yun-seok] Drive safe.
[door closes]
[cutlery scraping plate]
- [Joo-hyun] So what's next?
- Huh?
I can keep an eye on Kwang-chul,
so go rest.
I started sweeping up
all of the drug dealers today,
but Yong-soo closed up shop yesterday.
Meanwhile,
everyone else is getting arrested.
Just like last time, right?
That's right, yeah.
Which means they have someone
on the inside.
[dogs barking in distance]
[sighs]
Hyun-woo. [pants]
[breathing heavily]
Hyun-woo.
Hyun-woo.
[breathing heavily]
Mom?
[exhales]
I'm really sorry, Hyun-woo.
- What for?
- For not picking you up today.
You hungry?
Want me to make you dinner now?
I had ramen.
But Yeon-woo hasn't come home yet.
Yeon-woo is at a friend's house.
You'll see her tomorrow.
You don't have to pick me up anymore.
You need to get some rest.
I do.
You're the only one in this family
who cares about me.
- Where are they?
- They're gonna be here very soon.
- You said the money was in the garage?
- Yes.
Take care of Kkwang-chul's boys
if they show up.
- You can kill them.
- [man] Yes, sir.
[Kang-jun] Hey, hang on.
[car approaching]
"0809."
That's gotta be the delivery guy.
Thanks to Kkwang-chul, that guy's life
is about to be so fucked up.
[clicks tongue]
[sighs]
[phone vibrating]
[Kwang-chul on phone] Good work.
Leave the money in the garage.
I'll be in touch.
Take care of the goods.
Wait a sec. What do you mean "goods"?
[call disconnects]
[door creaking]
[door slams]
[Dong-ha] I'm sorry.
I didn't see your message
until it was too late.
I was a bit busy today.
Where's Yeon-woo?
Is she in her room?
She ran away.
What?
[Eun-ju] So you took the money to try
to become a professor?
Mi-yeon told me everything.
And believe me, she didn't hold back.
[scoffs] Starting a business
with Byeong-gu?
Textbooks?
Who would ever trust you
to run something like that?
You're a part-time lecturer who
can't land a proper job without begging.
Did you lose all of our money?
I didn't.
I promise. I'm getting it back.
I'm getting all of it back.
I I swear.
[sighs]
But there is this thing
[Eun-ju] Of course.
There's always something else.
Always a small catch after a promise.
No, i-i-it's not like that
I'm getting it back in cash. All of it.
He said he can't
wire the money through a bank
because they're illegal funds
or something like that.
But, I mean, who cares?
W-W-What does it matter
if we get it in cash, right?
A-Am I right?
[sighs]
Eun-ju, wait! Stop.
Eun-ju, please. Listen to me.
You'll You'll put Byeong-gu
in a difficult position.
It's a bribe,
and he could lose his job, you know.
I'll get it all back tomorrow.
[sighs] I'm sorry, Eun-ju.
[grunts] Can you stop fucking apologizing?
Why do we always feel the need
to make bullshit apologies?
Every single day feels like shit.
[mellow music playing]
[mouse clicking]
[Hyun-woo] Everything's crazy over here
because of you.
[Yeon-woo] So what?
[Hyun-woo] Where are you?
[Yeon-woo] Backyard.
[frogs croaking]
[typing]
[Hyun-woo] I thought you ran away.
What are you doing back there?
[Yeon-woo] I don't have any money.
You can't do anything in this world
if you don't have money to pay for stuff.
[Hyun-woo]
Can you please just come inside?
[Yeon-woo] Just go to bed.
Stay warm, sis.
[Yeon-woo] Text me
when Mom and Dad fall asleep.
Okay, tell me if you need anything.
Other than money.
[mellow music continues]
[rain pattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[phone vibrates]
[Hyun-woo] Just come inside. It's raining.
[Yeon-woo] I don't want to see Mom's face.
Text me when she's asleep.
[Hyun-woo] Let me apologize for her.
I'm sorry.
[Yeon-woo] What the heck. Why?
[Hyun-woo] It's all my fault that Mom
doesn't pay more attention to you.
She's too busy taking care of me.
[Yeon-woo] Shut it.
Text me when she falls asleep.
[thunder rumbling]
Okay, fine.
But at least stay in the garage.
It's pouring outside.
[sighs]
[thunder rumbling]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[tense music playing]
[phone vibrating]
[sighs] Shit, man.
I'm a little busy right now.
I need to work if I want to live.
Thanks again for the info.
We didn't have a single problem.
I'll return the favor.
I'll send some guys your way.
You can get more victories.
I'm here to get the money back
from the whole delivery mishap.
Huh?
How did you know?
Shit. Are you fucking serious right now?
It's against the rules
to put a tail on me like that.
We're on the same team, aren't we?
What?
[phone vibrating]
[phone stops vibrating]
Huh.
[sighs]
Shit, this is a serious fucking headache.
The cops got their hands
all over this place.
They've been
watching Kkwang-chul this whole time.
What should we do then?
Can we just grab the cash right now?
How the hell would they do that?
They've got cameras all over.
Um, what should we do
about the guy we sent to Kwang-chul?
I don't know. Just leave him.
Ah, shit. All that money is
right there in front of us.
- Hey, pull out.
- Sir.
Get the car.
[thunder rumbling]
[car doors open, close]
[engine revving]
[Hyun-woo] Aren't you cold in there?
- [motorcycle honks]
- [engine idling]
[engine revving]
- [Eun-ju] And where are you going?
- [Hyun-woo] Huh?
What about you?
To get your sister.
It's time for me to bring her back home.
Well, you don't need to go that far.
[line ringing]
[Hyun-woo] Dad.
Mom went to go find Yeon-woo.
Huh?
Yeon-woo's hiding in the garage,
but Mom just left to go find her.
Can you make sure that
she doesn't get into too much trouble?
[Dong-ha] He said he can't
wire the money through a bank.
They're illegal funds or something.
But, I mean, who cares?
W-W-What does it matter
if we get it in cash, right?
A-Am I right?
[exhales]
She's not in there.
What?
[Eun-ju] Yeon-woo.
What?
[breathing shakily]
[Eun-ju] There's nothing there!
Huh?
No, it's just that
[line ringing]
[exhales sharply]
[line continues ringing]
[breathing shakily]
Jeez
[panicked breathing]
[grunts]
[panting]
[grunting, panting]
- [trunk closes]
- Where did she go?
Oh. She
She was hiding in here because of
your mom, but I think she left again.
I'm going to go bring her back.
Go back inside.
Hyun-woo, I'll go find her. Okay?
I heard a motorcycle
right before Mom went outside.
A motorcycle?
[rain pattering]
[car engine starts]
- [clatters]
- [engine revving]
[car door opens]
[garage door closes]
[Dong-ha] Go back inside.
[phone vibrating]
[phone continues vibrating]
[line ringing]
[man] Oh, hello, sir. We were just bored.
[sighs]
[line continues ringing]
[operator] The person
you're trying to reach is not
He didn't pick up the phone.
- Get the car.
- [man] Yes, sir.
- Check if the money's in the garage.
- Yes, sir. We're on it.
[scoffs]
[Yun-seok] Why doesn't Kwang-chul
leave this place when it's nice out?
Gangsters go on picnics
and stuff too, you know.
Why am I stuck here? I wanna go home.
I feel like I can't breathe.
If you won't sleep,
switch with me and stand watch.
[Yun-seok snoring]
[laughs]
[Yun-seok] You can trust me, you know.
I thought about what you said earlier
about someone being on the inside.
I thought about it for a while,
and I've come to the conclusion
that I'm pretty trustworthy.
I mean, I think I have a good reputation
and I even have great credit,
even though I'm broke
and I'm no good with making any money.
So, if there's anything you want
to talk about, don't hesitate to come
Kwang-chul's leaving the house now.
[sighs loudly]
PARK DONG-HA PROFILE
[line ringing]
[man on phone] Sir, we checked,
and the money is not in the garage.
[Kwang-chul] I see.
I think the professor
made a break for it with the money.
[Yun-seok sighs]
He's not going out for a midnight snack
for sure. Should we call this in?
Hey, why are you in such a hurry?
Drive properly, man.
You're getting way too close to him.
[Yun-seok sighs] Sorry about that.
For now, we just need to see
who they're gonna be meeting with.
[panicked breathing]
On my way there now. Where are you? Yeah.
- [woman] What about the black one?
- This one is so pretty.
Hey, how's this one?
You don't have to say it like that.
Just leave.
Hey, don't you think that's a bit harsh?
You, my friend
Excuse me.
But have you seen this girl before?
- [boy] We haven't.
- [girl] No.
Excuse me, sir. Have you seen this girl?
No, I haven't.

[nervous breathing]
[grunting, panting]
[Yun-seok] He must've gotten caught
for calling the cops
What if he gets beaten to death?
Is this a drive-in theater?
I feel kinda bad that we're just watching.
[Dong-ha breathing shakily]
[Kwang-chul] Professor.
Do you not understand the situation?
I told you not to mess with the money
[Dong-ha] I'm
I'm looking for the money too.
I'm looking
I'm looking for my daughter right now.
[breathing shakily]
- [girl moaning]
- [banging on wall]
[couple moaning]
- [boy] What am I supposed to do with this?
- What?
This is something that'll end
with your mom showing up, you know.
It's my dad's money, so it's fine.
Is your dad a politician?
Or what, is he a drug lord?
Just stop whining.
Focus on spending the money.
Look, if it was only one stack,
then I'd say go for it. But this
- [banging on wall]
- [couple moaning]
Even I won't touch this.
Think about it for a sec.
You could even buy a new motorcycle.
Shit, I could buy a whole fleet.
[banging on wall]
- [banging on wall stops]
- Hmm?
I guess they're done.
- [banging on wall]
- Oh, never mind.
Seriously? How can you
be joking around right now?
- [banging on door]
- [man] Hey, open the door.
- Did you call someone?
- No.
[banging on door]
I said open up!
You two are underage, right?
[continues banging]
Open the fucking door Open the door
[sighs] What is with you little shits?
[sighs]
[door opens]
[sighs]
It's like you punks are trying
to screw me over or something.
Why are you always trying
to find a way in? Go fuck off!
Leave before I call the cops!
Can't you see that
I don't have any clothes on?
I need to change, so get out now!
[scoffs]
You're barely out of grade school
and this is what you're up to? Hmm?
[clicks tongue]
[keys jingling]
- [door closes]
- [sighs]
[scoffs]
[line ringing]
[man on phone] Yo, what's good?
Hey.
Can you come to the shop now?
[scoffs] I got some strange kids here.
SANG-GU
- [line ringing]
- It's me. I just sent the photo.
Start looking.
[Dong-ha] I'm really sorry.
My daughter isn't
She really isn't the type of kid
to do this.
- She got in a fight
- [Kwang-chul] Hey, Professor.
You should help them look for it.
My money. Not your daughter.
You'll die today if you don't find it.
[inhales sharply]
[grunts softly]
Ma'am, doesn't it look like
this is somehow all related to Kwang-chul?
Is he being threatened right now?
Maybe he saw something he shouldn't have.
If it's something serious,
don't you think we should help him out?
He's just an ordinary guy.
If they wanted to kill him,
he'd already be dead.
[sighs] I do wonder
why they've kept him alive.
[camera clicking]
[phone vibrating]
[Messenger] Yuseong-dong, San,
building number 12.
Bring me the money tomorrow.
This kind of cash is enough
for us to kill you.
I don't know where you got all this,
but you shouldn't lay your hands
on dirty money.
Here, all this money can get you killed.
Hey, they need to die.
They know our faces. The last guests
in the other room just left.
Come on, they're just kids, right?
Let's just take the cash.
We only need to drug them.
A lot of kids kill themselves,
and this is a motel.
[boy] Please, just take the money.
Can you please let us go, mister?
I'm begging you.
[thug] "I'm begging you." [scoffs]
MU MOTEL
Yeah. I know a few guys there
who were with me in prison.
They've been asking around.
And the motorcycle kids,
they said they knew something about
the professor's daughter's boyfriend.
The little fucker was going to a motel.
And there's only one motel in the area
they can sneak into.
[guitar music playing]
[engine starts]
[exhales]
[breathing shakily]
MU MOTEL
[guitar music continues]
MU MOTEL
There's nothing here, sir.
- Jackpot!
- [thug 1] You dumbass!
[thug 2] We hit the jackpot! [laughs]
[thug 1] Fucking idiot!
We don't have time for this!
[sighs]
[inhales sharply]
Oh shit.
Sh
[sighs]
- [punch lands]
- [grunts]
- [punch lands]
- [grunts, groans]
Hey, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
[grunting, groaning]
[man 1] Hurry up and put it in the bag.
- [man 2] This is unbelievable. Fuck yeah!
- Clear it all before someone comes.
- [sobbing]
- [man 3] Hey.
[man 2] It's gonna
go differently this time.
[man 3] Who's that guy?
[gasps]
What the
Who the fuck are you?
Hey, answer me. Who are you?
Oh shit. There's always something.
[sighs]
Who are you?
You can close it.
What?
- What the fuck?
- Who the fuck are you? Huh?
You piece of shit [grunts]
[groaning]
[screaming]
[man 1] Hey! What are you doing? [yells]
[yelps]
Hey!
[yells]
You fuck
[yelps]
[grunting]
[screaming in pain]
[wailing in pain, screaming]
You know, screaming won't help you.
[whimpering, screaming]
Your daughter and my money are in there.
Put it back.
- [Yeon-woo sobbing]
- [boy groaning]
[door opens]
- [Yeon-woo sobbing]
- [boy groaning]
[sighs]
Dad. [gasps]
You two okay?
Are you okay?
I'm sorry I forgot, uh
What was your name again?
- What?
- Your name. Tell me your name.
[Yeon-woo] It's Jae-chan, Dad.
Yeon-woo, I wasn't asking you.
I was asking him.
My name is Oh Jae-chan.
All right then, Jae-chan.
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
You two need to understand
that nothing happened here tonight, okay?
Get what I mean?
We're done here, then.
[sighs]
Hey, Dad.
Can we go home?
[motorcycle starts]
[Dong-ha] Yeon-woo.
Let's keep what happened
a secret from your mom.
Let's forget everything about tonight.
All of it.
Forever.
Huh?
Okay.
[Eun-ju] If you don't want
to go to school, fine.
You'll just end up getting suspended
or expelled and you deserve it.
I'm sick and tired of transferring you
to different schools anyway.
Are you done lecturing me?
[sighs]
[sighs]
Just wait and you'll see.
Every kid her age goes through phases.
Where did you find Yeon-woo?
At a karaoke bar.
How did you find out that she was there?
I I asked around
and called a few people I know.
And then I found her at a karaoke bar.
If you're trying to lie to me
or you wanna hide something,
you should try not to stutter.
- [key clacks]
- Should we watch it again?
Leave it.
If I really think about it,
the only story I got is that
the guy living in front of them
saved the professor's daughter.
All I can think about is someone saved her
from the bad guys somehow.
But how do Kwang-chul
and the professor know each other?
[Joo-hyun exhales smoke]
We'll switch in the morning.
Put another camera
at the professor's house.
Okay.
Sweet dreams.
