Hello.
It's me. Listen.
I just got word...
that Lee ***-chul's been appointed as Chairman Guk's replacement.
- Pardon? - Guk Dae-hwa put ***-chul in charge.
Where'd you hear this?
Straight from Guk's right-hand man, the director of the Jeju Casino.
Guk announced it at the meeting tonight.
And did my brother... accept?
How could he NOT? He's no angel.
He's as greedy as the rest of us.
As Guk Dae-hwa's heir apparent...
***-chul's in a position to use all that money and power against me.
We can't treat this lightly.
I've sent Ji-hyun to get you. Come back with her.
Ji-hyun.
Surprised to see me? Sorry.
Father insisted I come get you.
Come in.
Can I fix you a drink?
Not for me, thanks.
Not TOO awkward, being here in your place.
It's kind of a dive, huh?
Aren't you lonely on your own like this?
Father told me how ***-chul's taking over Guk Dae-hwa's casinos.
Suppose he does... what will YOU do?
If my brother takes over for Chairman Guk...
he'll probably end up dead.
How so?
Call it a prosecutor's hunch.
After Chairman Guk dies, the casinos will be the center of a power struggle.
There's all the casinos in Korea, plus the Macau hotel to consider.
Everyone will want their piece.
But even if all that happens, he won't have to fight YOU, will he?
I'd hate for the two of you to end up like that.
I know. Me, too.
The last few days my heart's been sick with it.
You know why?
Tomorrow's my father's memorial day.
I've never seen his face, but me, my family...
all of our lives have been centered on him for so long.
Now I feel guilty even going to his grave.
But why should I?
It's the way I am.
But what can I do?
This is the life that's been given me...
I'm a prosecutor. I have to do the best with what I've got.
You should go. I need to rest.
Chairman Shin will be waiting.
Not today.
