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

You should've called me or Taejin.

Grandma, you shouldn't have to come to

a place like this.

I was so angry.

How can they scam old people?

Don't they have parents?

That's why you should've looked into it first.

You should be careful with buying medicine.

Your grandfather's very gullible.

How can a woman be so aggressive?

Who?

The foreigner?

No, her friend.

She looked me right in the eye, and lashed

out at me for calling her friend a fraud.

I wonder what her parents are like.

That's why family values are important.

By the way, do you know that woman?

You spoke to her like you did.

Of course not.

No, right?

It makes me shudder to think.

Ignore her if you ever see her again, okay?

I will.

You must be tired. You should get going.

Okay.

How disgraceful.

I really don't know anything, detective.

Mina was just entertaining there.

Do you have any recordings of your songs?

Not yet.

Where are you from?

I'm from Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan.

Let me see your passport.

Good grief.

So where do you live right now?

She lives with me.

She does? Then let me see your ID.

So you two live together at this address?

How do you know each other?

We're friends.

I can vouch for her identity.

But that doctor earlier said he was

suspicious of your living arrangement.

There's nothing suspicious going on.

Be quiet. / - Ma'am!

What?

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

That jerk has no sense of gratitude.

Okay. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit.

But he's a doctor for sure.

There are wackos amongst doctors, too.

Be quiet.

Please, Geumja.

Lock her up, Detective Kim. Lock her up.

Quiet her down. Lock her up.

That man earlier gives doctors a bad name.

I understand, so please sit down.

I can hear you fine even when you're seated.

But a complaint has been filed, so you can't

go home until we complete the investigation.

Not until you complete the investigation?

So she can't come home tonight?

No, no. I have to go home.

I have a daughter.

She's waiting for me at home.

Then tell me where your boss is.

I really don't know, detective.

Come on now, there was a complaint

about the sales of fake medicine.

Just saying you don't know won't cut it.

What am I going to do, Haesu?

It's going to be okay, Mina.

I'm busy as it is.

Did she have to make me come here?

This is a good chance to win brownie points.

If mother says we are to move in with her,

you need to make it clear that we won't.

I'll take care of that, but you need to

talk to your mother about the store space.

I know. I'm trying to find the right timing.

Really?

You're a doll. You're a doll.

Stop it. / - You're the best.

What is it?

Huh?

Isn't that father?

Oh?

Mr. Jeong has decided to apply for

voluntary retirement for the company.

Dad, dad.

What are you thinking about so intently?

You didn't even hear us calling out to you.

What are you doing here?

We heard grandpa wasn't feeling well.

Oh, right.

Is something wrong?

Of course not.

I was just enjoying the cool wind.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. / - Okay.

Where have you been, mother?

I put those medicine scammers in jail.

What are you talking about?

You took the leftover tonics with you.

So you went to the medicine peddler?

They did turn out to be frauds.

They did a midnight run.

Good heavens.

See? What did I tell you?

I told you to avoid peddlers like that.

I wonder why we'd turn to such peddlers.

Subong.

Subong, how are you feeling?

Where were you, leaving your sick husband?

Remember Dongbaek, the white singer

who sold you the tonics?

I put her away.

What are you talking about?

She's in on it with the rest of them.

We aren't the only ones who were scammed.

They were all at the store.

What did that young lady do wrong?

All she did was sing.

You're sick as a dog, and

yet you're defending that Dongbaek girl?

That's enough.

Let me take a look, grandpa.

How does it feel here?

We're here, grandfather.

Oh, my goodness. Welcome.

You're all here.

How is he feeling?

He's grown haggard in a matter of hours.

Manjae, we should take him to a hospital.

Ujin's a doctor.

But Ujin can't treat him with his bare hands.

He needs to get tests done at a hospital.

Don't bother.

Let's wait and see.

Subong.

We should take grandpa to a hospital.

Is it that bad?

No, but grandma's so worried.

You're a doctor. You can treat him.

It's better to get an accurate diagnosis.

But the hospital will run all kinds of tests.

That'll wear the old man out.

Are you worried about money?

The fact is, a few tests at a hospital

can easily cost up to $1,000.

Your mom's always nagging me

about money, but I only make so much.

We can afford to take grandpa to a hospital.

I make money.

You can say that once you become a fellow.

Plus, there are so many mouths to feed.

We really have to cut corners from now on.

How can you be like this, Manjae?

Your father has fallen ill,

and you're worried about money?

Where is your sense of duty as the eldest son?

So why did you get that fake tonic?

So now we have to cry over spilled milk?

Why do you keep reminding me?

That's enough.

I'll get something from the pharmacy.

We'll see how he is and take it from there.

Having children is useless. Utterly useless.

What do you think, Semi?

Wow. Good. You must have picked up

a thing or two from your family business.

Your family runs a dry cleaner?

Yes. We used to.

So why are you here and not at home?

Did your father kick you out, too?

No, it's not that.

Just because.

Where could my mom be?

And Haesu's late, too.

I'm hungry, Semi.

There's nothing to eat here though.

I have an idea.

What is it?

We're going out, everyone.

Hello.

Who are you?

We're here to see Haesu.

What are you kids doing here?

Where's Haesu?

She must not have told you.

Has she left already?

It's not that...

Oh, no. We came to have dinner.

We have leftovers, so stay and eat.

Thank you.

Here you go.

One for each of you.

Enjoy.
