Protect The Family (Save The Family / 가족을 지켜라 / Gajokeul Jikyeora)

I'll start.

I'm sorry about that. I'll restart.

The ER is the heart of a hospital.

Seorim Hospital is in a low-income area

so it's heavily populated.

Seorim is thus the first stop

for the area's emergency patients, but the lack of equipment forces us

to transfer them to larger hospitals nearby. In the process, the golden time is missed

and lives are sometimes lost.

Over 70% of the ER patients we get

are only given basic ER treatment

and then transferred to larger hospitals.

That is, we are losing patients,

which is contributing to Seorim's

operational deficit.

Wait a minute.

What business does Ujin have here?

Sir,

there's a board meeting today, right?

I believe so.

Do you know what the meeting's about?

That's not for the likes of us to know.

The best way to save a hospital

is by running the ER more effectively.

Promoting the local hospital is just as critical

as promoting the local economy.

Your generous investment in Seorim's ER

will enhance One's public image as

a socially aware enterprise.

Thank you.

Good job. / - Thank you.

I enjoyed your presentation.

Thank you.

Good job.

Today's surprise event was fascinating.

It was the managing director's idea.

Your daughter shows great promise.

Thank you. / - So long then.

What does a doctor know about management?

Let's go.

Ms. Ko, I was just...

What are you doing here?

Ms. Ko,

I came to see if you needed anything.

A doorman shouldn't be up here.

I'm sorry, Ms. Ko.

Thank you for your interest. I'll make the improvements you suggested.

Good. Best of luck.

We hope for your favorable consideration.

That was great, Ujin,

including the initial mishap. Don't even mention that.

I get still get chills down my back.

It wasn't intentional?

Of course not.

It was a chance to make our relationship official. I'm not a weirdo.

It was a major slip-up.

Thank goodness no one took issue with it.

In any case, good job. I'm going to talk to dad.

Okay. I'll call you later.

One's isn't doing well enough to invest.

Our operations only just normalized

thanks to Sangmi Construction.

We must invest aggressively and expand

especially in tough times.

That's how we overcome a crisis.

I agree, dad. Trust is key, especially for a food company,

so we must continue improving our image.

The board's response was positive,

so let's wait and see.

Okay, dad.

That Jeong fellow has guts.

That's why I love him.

Please give him your support.

If we give up on Sangmi,

the board will be furious.

Let's pursue Yewon's plan for now.

She's our daughter.

Thank you, dad.

Where's your husband?

Don't ask me about Hojae.

I have no idea.

If you don't know your husband's whereabouts,

how would anyone else know?

He went out to ask around for money,

but he's fallen off the radar again.

If you were home this whole time,

why didn't you answer the phone?

Creditors keep calling.

I disconnected it,

and I turned off my mobile phone, too. What if Hojae calls?

Keep the phone on

so we know if something happens.

I had a bad dream, and I'm a nervous wreck.

I'm terrified, too, mother.

So have you two figured out how you'll manage?

Please talk to Suja.

We must repay the bank this week.

If we can't get a loan,

Hojae and I are basically done for.

My son says he's dying, so of course I want to help.

But Suja's refusing to budge.

Since Suja has the deed to the house,

you seem intimidated by her.

All we have left is that house,

so how can Suja sign it over so easily?

Mother,

if you forsake us, too,

we'd have to jump off a bridge.

So please help us. I beg you.

I've lived too long.

I've lived way too long.

Suja. / - Yes?

Both my daughters-in-law are stricken with grief.

I don't know why this is happening to us.

Did you go and see Aeran?

Can't you give them a chance? This isn't just for my own survival.

If we lose this house,

our family will be left homeless. Can you and father spend

the rest of your lives on the streets? They just need a loan against this house.

That's precisely how Hojae and Aeran

are about to lose their apartment.

They say money triumphs over family,

but how can you let Manjae

turn his back on his own brother?

Brother or not, the deed can't be shared.

Aeran has lived the high life,

even squandering our money,

but I've scrimped and saved

to hold onto this house.

Do you want me going on a hunger strike?

You two have a great time.

Excuse me then.

Wait. / - Yes?

I'm sorry, but you're just not my style.

What did you say?

Yunchan.

Let's not waste one another's time.

This is ridiculous.

How could you set me up with someone like him?

I want a refund.

Wait. Wait.

How could you be so rude?

Please sit down.

This is absurd. We can't find you a perfect match all the time.

Let's date.

What?

I can't be bothered with blind dates,

so you and I should date.

No way.

Have you forgotten?

We're in-laws.

I'm not asking you to marry me.

I'm merely asking you out.

Why hasn't any of Yunchan's blind dates

led to anything?

I know.

Isn't it about time he fell for someone?

I bet he'll go on all 12 dates the agency offers. He might even go for another round of 12.

Maybe your sister's trying to rip us off.

Huijin's not conniving like that, mother.

You're always so quick to

defend your family.

That must be Yunchan.

What are you doing here, Uncle Hojae?

How have you been?

I'm here to see you mother-in-law.

- Uncle Hojae. / - Hi, Yunjeong. I trust you've been well, Jeongsuk?

What brings you by? I have something to discuss with you.

This is for your mother-in-law.

Okay.

Please sit down.

Bring us tea. / - Okay.

I don't know if Taejin's told you.

Your company's on the brink of bankruptcy.

I wouldn't go that far.

It's just a cash flow issue

as we're trying to expand. We'll be fine once we get over this hump.

I'm ashamed to say,

but I've come to ask you for a loan.

I can give you a loan. Do you mean that?

Really, mother?

Do you have collateral?

If I had collateral, I would've gone to a bank.

I don't trust people who come to me for a loan.

Collateral is the only thing I trust.

But we're in-laws.

Money matters should be kept strict and exact

even between family members. I have to exercise caution.

I had a first-rate credit rating until recently.

Since you mention credit,

I must say I have no confidence

in the Jeong family in that regard.

Plus, you even blew Manjae's severance.

If I can weather this crisis,

I can pay Manjae right back. So bring me collateral.

Jeongsuk.

Property investment is how I make a living.

I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing.

But if you don't have collateral,

all I can say is you need a reality check.
