00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago. Business was crazy.
00:00:05We cleared six million in one year. But me? He gave me only a hundred grand.
00:00:09A prep cook barely makes two thousand a month. I gave you a hundred grand and only because you're
00:00:15my brother. I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down filthy restaurant
00:00:23right across from his. I started my own place. The second, my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor.
00:00:30Percy snapped. He smashed his own car hood. He just couldn't wrap his head around it.
00:00:36How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place in town?
00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook. Two thousand dollars a month.
00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared six mil. Here's your share.
00:00:58I took it and counted. Only a hundred thousand. Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.
00:01:03I put up the money for this restaurant. I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:08You're just a line cook. Any bum off the street could do your job. If you weren't my brother,
00:01:13you wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:16For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.
00:01:21Okay, I want to tell you about my restaurant. Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you
00:01:26about my restaurant. Thank you for providing such high-quality ingredients. You really helped
00:01:33us solve a big problem. I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what
00:01:40customers really want. Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or
00:01:44I'm calling the cops. Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now. And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle
00:01:53and camps out in front of his live stream. Five people, always the same five, making a fool of
00:01:58himself over and over again. I put in at least half the work for that six million. And that
00:02:03hundred thousand Percy gave me. Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing
00:02:08money. I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money. Thanks. I turned, pushed the door
00:02:14open, and then Percy called out to me. The citywide benchmark judging is in three days. The mayor is
00:02:19coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi. Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:24So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly part well.
00:02:31Okay. See you in three days. Good boy. I didn't say a word. Percy never thought I'd
00:02:37be that easy to brush off. And me. I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across
00:02:48the street. The one that couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up. Everyone
00:02:53knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess. Percy thought it was a dump. A place only
00:02:58bums would set foot in. Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for 10 years. Takes goods
00:03:05to rent this spot, kid. Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor. You absolutely sure?
00:03:10I'm sure. I walked out after signing the papers. And across the street, Iron Anchor was already
00:03:16partying, getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival. What Percy didn't realize, that award
00:03:21in three days. It was about to turn into his worst nightmare. This rundown shop was hidden
00:03:28away. Filthy. Pitch. Dark. Thick layers of grease covered everything. I didn't complain.
00:03:35Though, inside, I was actually pumped. Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump
00:03:42across the street again. He got out of his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it,
00:03:47laughing so hard he could barely stand.
00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot. I gave you $100,000 and you blow it on this rat hole? Don't you
00:04:00have any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him. Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own, even pulled out his
00:04:08phone and went live, making exaggerated faces at the camera. Look at this, folks. Thick,
00:04:13nasty grease all over the tables. This place is so disgusting, I swear even a rat wouldn't
00:04:19come near it. Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the
00:04:24camera. Grayson, I'm your older brother. I have to take care of you. You're always welcome
00:04:30back at Iron Anchor. I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable
00:04:35that kind of job is. After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied. He had to get
00:04:41ready for the mayor's visit. He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace. But one
00:04:47thing he would never understand, a restaurant's true essence is the food. And me, I stayed up late
00:04:53every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already three in the morning when I got home. The light was still on. I caught my reflection
00:05:02in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt. My face exhausted. I panicked. I didn't want my family
00:05:08to worry, but I knew I had to face it eventually.
00:05:13My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:05:16Honey, what happened? Why are you so late?
00:05:19Percy asked me to clean the kitchen. I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:25Mia looked uneasy. She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:29I saw the news. The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor. The restaurant you and Percy
00:05:37opened is really making money, big enough to even get the mayor's attention. Did he give
00:05:43you any of it?
00:05:44Sure. He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:47Only a hundred grand? The news said the place cleared six million. That's not fair. You put
00:05:53your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year. At least half of the credit is
00:05:58yours. How could he do this to you?
00:06:01Mia, calm down.
00:06:03Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds. Why are you still working for
00:06:08him?
00:06:10I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:06:14I support whatever decision you make.
00:06:20Here's twenty grand. Go all in, Grayson. The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:27I won't let you down. I swear.
00:06:30The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days. That night, I couldn't sleep at
00:06:36all. What if I let Nia down? The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing
00:06:41through my mind. I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.
00:06:46I started doubting whether going solo was the right move or just a stupid decision made out
00:06:51of anger. I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years and sat down at
00:06:55the desk. It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences. I've recorded including
00:07:00the mayor's. I once sat in a high-end restaurant and carefully watched how he ate, what he left
00:07:05on his plate. This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience. Then suddenly, my phone
00:07:12rang.
00:07:14What did you say? Sea Mist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there. I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard
00:07:29to win over before. He'd always seen my potential. And the moment he heard I was opening my own
00:07:33place, he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes. You should have gone out on your own
00:07:37a long
00:07:37time ago. I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours. All he knows is flashy
00:07:42tricks.
00:07:45I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking. If he'd paid even a
00:07:49little
00:07:49attention to his own purchasing, he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest
00:07:53supplier. Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance. Too bad. All he cares about is messing
00:07:59with that ridiculous haircut of his in his live stream that never gets more than five people.
00:08:04He didn't recognize him at all. Don't say I never give you a chance. The mayor's coming to Iron
00:08:10Anchor in person tomorrow. My dear little brother, I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots
00:08:16like that. And make sure you bring your wife Mia. I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her
00:08:23life. Percy's laugh was full of contempt. He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:08:30Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine and at an event like this. His little brother, the one
00:08:35foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor, would be the perfect person to
00:08:39compare himself to. I'll be there on time.
00:08:44Here's ten bucks. Go park my car for me.
00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry bench role. Percy was so sure of it
00:08:56that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future. But he overlooked me, a brother
00:09:02he'd never once seen as a competitor. Insignificant, obedient, beneath notice.
00:09:07When I got home, I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event. I could
00:09:13see the
00:09:13worry in her eyes. No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow. Can't you see? He
00:09:21stole the fruits of your hard work and now he wants to humiliate you in public. Mia, I've already decided
00:09:26to go. If he tries to embarrass me, I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:35A place that was always meant to be mine. Fine. I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet. He was waiting by the door for something. The moment he saw Mia and
00:09:51me show up, his eyes locked onto us like a radar. Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all. This is my brother, Grayson. He just took over a garbage dump across
00:10:04the street from Iron Anchor and thinks he's going to compete with me. Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:09All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes. Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:18You know what Percy nets a year? Six million dollars. You won't see that kind of money in 10 lifetimes.
00:10:24You really should just stick with your brother. That way you can at least lap up some of the
00:10:29leftovers. Don't mind them, Grayson. What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough. You're all way out of line. The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:45Grayson, control your wife. This isn't the place for a scene. Easy, Mia. I'm fine.
00:10:59Here's my card. You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief. He never expected that after being humiliated like that.
00:11:08Grayson, what are you doing here?
00:11:08I'd still be able to hand out my business card. Everyone looked embarrassed. No one took it.
00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?
00:11:18Don't be ridiculous. I smiled and shook my head. I swear, one day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:31These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes. Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:38I could see right through it. The dishes looked exactly the same as before, but the ingredients
00:11:43had changed. Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money, but he doesn't understand
00:11:49his customers. Every single one of them has a picky palate. Without my notebook that records every
00:11:54customer's preferences, he can never make the perfect dish. At the table, the guests could already tell
00:12:02something was off with the food. But because they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to
00:12:06ignore it. The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry. Percy kept bragging
00:12:11about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year. How much money he'd made. Mia was so
00:12:17upset, she couldn't even eat. The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive. But that wasn't
00:12:22enough for Percy. He brought me up again. Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still
00:12:29come back. I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs. But you are
00:12:37my
00:12:37little brother after all. Percy, you're such a good man. Your brother has a death wish opening a
00:12:43restaurant right across from you, and you're still looking out for him. Of course. What does a line
00:12:49cook know about running a restaurant? Without Percy, he's nothing.
00:12:56I was furious. All anyone could see was Percy's winning globe. No one saw the one who'd done all
00:13:02the work behind the scenes. Percy was soaking up the praise, laughing and clinking glasses with those
00:13:07guests. And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.
00:13:12The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor can only be my sea mist restaurant. I raised my glass,
00:13:17a calm smile on my face. You're alright. Everything I do I learn from Percy, my respected big brother.
00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute. Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the
00:13:31bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out. Even though you had the nerve to leave me,
00:13:38I still invited you to this important event. And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:43Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.
00:13:51I looked at the mayor. I knew my chance had come.
00:13:57A year ago, I went through hell to land the supplier with the highest food safety rating.
00:14:03Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:08And now that top tier supplier belongs to me. The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:14:14Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:14:21This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control, but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:32Grayson, step aside. The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:42Grayson, you just stand aside and watch. Even for a line cook, you've still got a lot to learn.
00:14:47Percy didn't care about my skills. He asked me to come to the kitchen only to humiliate me with the
00:14:54new hire.
00:14:55To prove I was good for nothing. But he had no idea how complicated bluefit tuna is.
00:15:02Without real knife skills, you can't handle it properly. Especially a piece of cheap, low quality tuna like this.
00:15:11Percy, you're going to regret everything you've done today. I swear it.
00:15:16I'm just trying to make my little brother better. Otherwise, how is he going to support you and the baby
00:15:20in your belly?
00:15:21With that failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:27I'll learn from him.
00:15:29After today, one of us will be famous and the other will be a nobody.
00:15:36Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:41That is right. After today, one of us is going to take over the world, and the other is going
00:15:46to fade into obscurity.
00:15:48I watched very carefully. Joss thought I was actually learning, and he even took the time to explain things to
00:15:53me.
00:15:54I smiled. With such lousy technique, that blue-fied tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile
00:15:59of ruined meat in his hands.
00:16:01And the mayor. He hates nothing more than being handed low quality, butchered tuna, like it is no big deal.
00:16:13Percy was in the dining room, chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world. He had no
00:16:18idea his restaurant was heading straight to hell.
00:16:21Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter. Meanwhile, the highest quality bluefin tuna was being delivered to Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:16:30where the expensive head chef I hired was handling the premium tuna, according to the methods written in my notebook.
00:16:36My dear fans, it's showtime! The mayor is here! Today, I'll show the world true top-tier cooking.
00:16:42Some bottom-fleeling trash running a cheap diner couldn't even dream of reaching this level.
00:16:51Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream, let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother,
00:16:57Grayson.
00:16:58Never been smart. Only good for the dirty work in the back. He recently opened some dump called Sea Mist
00:17:04right over there.
00:17:05If you ever feel like your stomach's too full and you need to throw up, feel free to go try
00:17:11his chemical waste.
00:17:14Percy, you're too soft. Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.
00:17:20Mr. Mayor, here's my card. I'm good at making otoyu sushi.
00:17:24Are you crazy? A little place that can't even fit two people in the bathroom, and you think you can
00:17:30hand the mayor your business card?
00:17:31My restaurant is spotless, and my ingredients are the best.
00:17:36I don't think square footage determines quality. Grayson, stop embarrassing yourself here!
00:17:45Young man, you have something those greedy businessmen don't. You're calm. I like that.
00:17:52Haha, the mayor sure has a sense of humor. He's just teaching the young generation to stay humble.
00:17:59Grayson, the only reason the mayor hasn't kicked you out is out of respect for me.
00:18:04Grayson, stop any of your pathetic delusions.
00:18:14Please take a seat.
00:18:26Mr. Mayor, this is our signature dish, otoro sushi. I promise you'll love it.
00:18:34Iron Anchor's otoro sushi is one of a kind, Mr. Mayor. I guarantee you'll fall for it.
00:18:39The knife work, the technique, absolutely flawless.
00:18:43In the past, the otori sushi really was one of a kind.
00:18:48But this time, without top quality ingredients and skilled knife work,
00:18:52the only thing coming out of that kitchen is a one-of-a-kind piece of garbage.
00:19:19Oh my god, and what the hell is that garbage?
00:19:23Oh my god, and what the hell is that garbage?
00:19:26The $35 one prepared was being carefully packed up, and was already on its way.
00:19:30We are about to serve the very first dish from Sea Mist Restaurant.
00:19:36Everyone, stay sharp.
00:19:38Yes!
00:20:14No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain. This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.
00:20:25Advanced aging? No, he just served the mayor cheap. Old meat to cut costs. The live stream was going wild.
00:20:32The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.
00:20:35Fine. You're so confident in this process, then don't waste it. Bring it to him. Eat it, Percy. Every last
00:20:42piece, right now.
00:20:43No! No!
00:20:44You're resisting so hard. Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:20:48No! Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:51The security guards stepped forward. The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.
00:20:56Under the gaze of the citywide live stream, he was forced to swallow that rotten meat like a pathetic stray
00:21:02dog.
00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away. Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.
00:21:09The mayor's fury was just the beginning. The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.
00:21:19The Iron Anchor
00:21:20This is the pride of Surla Streets? The face of our state's restaurant industry?
00:21:24Percy, you didn't just insult me. You insult the entire food safety laws of this city.
00:21:29Mr. Mayor, I swear on my life. The sushi is fine. I just drank too much last night. It's my
00:21:33stomach. It's upset.
00:21:35Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:39No one knew better than me. Eating rotten bluefin tuna would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:43Soon, Percy showed all the signs. The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go
00:21:49help him.
00:21:51Damn it! You used rotten meat! That's why you're such a mess right now! Percy, you idiot! You just blew
00:21:56the entire ward!
00:21:57No, no, no! It's not what you think!
00:21:58And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream in the entire city.
00:22:04Enough! I want a full investigation of Iron Anchor right now!
00:22:08Percy wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move.
00:22:10Soon enough, the iron door to Iron Anchor's back storage was violently pushed open.
00:22:15A stench of formaldehyde mixed with rotting blood hit everyone in the face.
00:22:19Cardboard boxes piled up like metals, their outer layers covered in mold.
00:22:23The smell is absolutely disgusting!
00:22:25Just thinking about the food I ate makes me want to strangle Percy with my bare hand!
00:22:28Percy was dragged to the storage door like a filthy rag.
00:22:31The mayor pointed angrily at the inside of the back room.
00:22:34This is the best ingredient warehouse in all of New York?
00:22:36Percy, you'd better explain this now!
00:22:40Percy scrambled, saying it was all the supplier's fault that he was a victim too.
00:22:44Tears streamed down his face as he got all emotional.
00:22:46At first, some people actually believed him.
00:22:48After all, Iron Anchor's reputation had been perfect.
00:22:51That was until a contract signed with the shady supplier was pulled out of a drawer.
00:22:54A hundred dollars a play and you spent three cents on the meat?!
00:22:57Fanned it. That's what it was.
00:22:58The money went to the cars.
00:23:00The fancy front, but the food itself.
00:23:02He had zero respect for it.
00:23:03Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:23:05I was just trying to save money.
00:23:07I didn't know the supplier would give me bad meat.
00:23:08I'd give me bad meat!
00:23:09You didn't know?
00:23:11You're playing games with people's lives!
00:23:14Percy looked around in despair.
00:23:16Nothing but contempt.
00:23:17And the mayor's fury was even more terrifying than he'd imagined.
00:23:20If this is the best Surla Street has to offer,
00:23:22then I will shut down every single restaurant on this entire street!
00:23:24The whole place erupted.
00:23:25Every business owner's face dropped.
00:23:27If the whole street got shut down,
00:23:29they would lose countless future business deals.
00:23:31Percy, you animal!
00:23:32You want to serve trash? Fine!
00:23:33But don't drag the rest of us down with you!
00:23:35You disgusting little roach!
00:23:36Go to hell!
00:23:37That is human nature.
00:23:38When Percy was on top, they were his loyal supporters.
00:23:40The moment he fell, everyone wanted to kick him.
00:23:42While he was down, Mia looked worried.
00:23:44She was afraid my restaurant would get caught up in this, too.
00:23:46I patted her hand.
00:23:47I'd just gotten my license.
00:23:48I was fully confident I could turn the tide on Surla Street.
00:23:51And if I timed it right, my chef should be here any second.
00:23:57Percy panicked.
00:23:59Iron Anchor was facing closure.
00:24:00And me, his worthless little brother,
00:24:02bringing in a chef with the very same cut of fish.
00:24:04Grayson, what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:24:07Mr. Mayor, before you give up on this street,
00:24:10please give real Surla Street cuisine one chance.
00:24:12Percy pulled himself up off the floor and stormed over to me, furious.
00:24:16That garbage from your $500 dump has no place in front of the mayor!
00:24:20I'm warning you.
00:24:22Throw that trash away!
00:24:23Mia was never one to just take it lying down.
00:24:25The second she heard that,
00:24:26she hauled off and slapped Percy right across the face.
00:24:28Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face,
00:24:31you arrogant jerk!
00:24:32Three minutes ago, you were serving the mayor garbage.
00:24:35Whatever my husband has in that box
00:24:37is worth more than you and your whole restaurant ever were!
00:24:39You dare put your hands on me?
00:24:41You shameless bitch!
00:24:43The mayor beat me to it.
00:24:44He had his security restrained Percy.
00:24:46Then looked at the takeout box in my hand.
00:24:48I think I'd like to try something made by a man with some composure.
00:24:52See, Mr. Restaurant.
00:24:54Please enjoy.
00:25:09I've never seen sashimi with such perfect texture.
00:25:12It's as thin as a leaf.
00:25:13The aroma's so rich.
00:25:15My mouth is watering.
00:25:16The live stream went wild, too.
00:25:18The comments were full of curiosity about my food.
00:25:21Because of this turnaround,
00:25:22the viewer count instantly skyrocketed by 10,000.
00:25:26Tuna of this grade.
00:25:27My supplier swore I was his only client in Manhattan.
00:25:29Your so-called supply chain is just a transaction.
00:25:31What Grayson earned is the supplier's respect.
00:25:33He deserves to have the best ingredients,
00:25:35way more than your iron anchor ever did.
00:25:37I watched the mayor's fingertips tremble.
00:25:40That is the instinctive reaction of a true gourmet
00:25:42in the presence of something transcendent.
00:25:45Percy always thought waving his checkbook around on live stream
00:25:48would let him control everything.
00:25:49But he never knew.
00:25:51Some ingredients can't be bought.
00:25:53They choose who deserves them.
00:25:56My God.
00:25:57The sweetness.
00:25:58The way this fat just dissolves.
00:26:00It's melting on your tongue.
00:26:01Grayson, I take back what I said earlier.
00:26:03This isn't just food.
00:26:04This is art.
00:26:06This year's industry benchmark restaurant
00:26:08is not this foul-smelling iron anchor.
00:26:12It goes to...
00:26:18Wait.
00:26:19C-Miss shouldn't even be in the running.
00:26:20Everyone knows that place is a dump.
00:26:22Full of grease and rats.
00:26:24It doesn't even meet basic health and safety standards.
00:26:26Percy looked at me with that smug expression.
00:26:28Like he'd finally cornered the clown.
00:26:30Too bad.
00:26:31This time, the joke was on him.
00:26:33Save the pity, Grayson.
00:26:34I know you tried really hard to steal first place from me.
00:26:37Too bad.
00:26:39Trying isn't enough.
00:26:40You'll never surpass me, little brother.
00:26:42Mr. Mayor.
00:26:44It would be my honor to lead the way
00:26:46and show everyone this garbage-dimp Grayson calls a restaurant.
00:26:51That place has been closed for ages.
00:26:53I heard the last owner was so bitter.
00:26:55He poured cooking oil all over the floors on his way out.
00:26:57You can't even walk in there.
00:26:59That's right.
00:26:59And he left all kinds of expired food in there, too.
00:27:02It's probably a full-blown rat kingdom by now.
00:27:04What right does a dump like that have to call itself a restaurant?
00:27:07What do we do?
00:27:09Mr. Mayor, and everyone here,
00:27:12as the owner of C-Miss restaurant,
00:27:14I invite you all to come see it for yourselves.
00:27:16You idiot.
00:27:17Get ready to watch your precious restaurant get shut down.
00:27:21My dear fans,
00:27:22I'm about to show you the most chaotic,
00:27:25filthiest garbage dump on Surla Street.
00:27:28You cannot imagine
00:27:30how absolutely disgusting that place is.
00:27:35Percy, lying has consequences.
00:27:38It's totally fake.
00:27:39I guarantee you behind this door,
00:27:40it's nothing but trash and stink.
00:27:42Grayson.
00:27:43Just wait and see.
00:27:44Percy's smug smile kept growing,
00:27:45but all of that was about to come to a screeching halt
00:27:48the second I opened that door.
00:27:55This is impossible.
00:27:56Oh my God!
00:27:58In just a few days,
00:27:59that dump has completely changed.
00:28:01It's so clean and tidy.
00:28:03Way more pleasant to look at
00:28:05than Iron Anchor's tacky, flashy decorations.
00:28:12Grayson, your taste is just as impressive as your food.
00:28:22Man, this place is cleaner than an operating room.
00:28:25I worked around the clock,
00:28:27kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:28:28scrubbing every single crack with a brush.
00:28:30Percy spent his money on those gouty chandeliers
00:28:33that blind you.
00:28:33I spent mine on every little detail you can touch.
00:28:36This is all just for show.
00:28:37You can fake the decor,
00:28:39but you can't fake the ingredients.
00:28:43Grayson, you're broke.
00:28:44Your monthly rent is 500 bucks.
00:28:46How can you afford
00:28:47pop-grade blue fit tuna?
00:28:49I bet that piece he just fed you
00:28:51was the only decent one he's got.
00:28:52His freezer must be packed
00:28:54with cheap frozen garbage.
00:28:56Trash will always be trash.
00:28:59You want to see?
00:29:00I'll show you.
00:29:07So many.
00:29:08Tuna of this quality,
00:29:10only three restaurants in all of New York
00:29:11can get their hands on these.
00:29:15Percy, take a good look.
00:29:17This is what you call garbage.
00:29:19No!
00:29:20You must have injected poison
00:29:21into these rotten fish.
00:29:22Sprayed them with chemicals.
00:29:23Who the hell is insulting my fish?
00:29:29You are...
00:29:30I worked with Iron Anchor
00:29:32for a whole year.
00:29:33Not once did you bother
00:29:34to remember my name.
00:29:35Percy, you're an absolute idiot.
00:29:39You're Iron Anchor's biggest supplier
00:29:41from this past year.
00:29:42You traitor!
00:29:43You're the traitor!
00:29:44And premium ingredients
00:29:46should go to people
00:29:46who actually appreciate them.
00:29:49Mr. Mayor,
00:29:50I'm the largest seafood distributor
00:29:51in California.
00:29:52I hereby certify
00:29:54that all ingredients
00:29:55used by Seamist Restaurant
00:29:56are exclusively supplied
00:29:58through my special channel
00:29:59with the highest
00:30:00A-level safety rating.
00:30:01Mr. Grayson
00:30:02is the most knowledgeable person
00:30:04about ingredients
00:30:05I've ever met.
00:30:06That's why I ended
00:30:07all my contracts
00:30:08with Iron Anchor for him.
00:30:09Are you insane?
00:30:11I give you millions
00:30:12of dollars a year!
00:30:13What about him?
00:30:14All he got was
00:30:15the lousy hundred grand
00:30:16I threw at him!
00:30:17After lashing out
00:30:17at the supplier,
00:30:19Percy turned his rage
00:30:20back on me.
00:30:21Grayson!
00:30:21You ungrateful snake!
00:30:23You took the hundred grand
00:30:25I gave you
00:30:26and used it to steal my supplier
00:30:27and become my enemy?
00:30:29Don't you have any
00:30:30family loyalty at all?
00:30:31Percy.
00:30:34Percy,
00:30:35out of that hundred grand,
00:30:36ninety thousand
00:30:37was purchasing money
00:30:38I fronted for you.
00:30:42The remaining ten thousand
00:30:43was what you paid me
00:30:45for three years
00:30:46of working my ass off
00:30:47day and night.
00:30:49You thought you could
00:30:49buy my dignity.
00:30:51I'm taking it back
00:30:52with my own hands.
00:30:53We're even.
00:30:54And don't forget,
00:30:55this supplier was mine
00:30:56from the very beginning.
00:30:58Percy's eyes went unfocused.
00:30:59It looked like he was
00:31:00finally remembering
00:31:01how hard I worked
00:31:02a year ago,
00:31:03visiting supplier
00:31:04after supplier,
00:31:05screening through thousands
00:31:06of them to find this one.
00:31:07Percy wanted to keep arguing,
00:31:09but fate wasn't going
00:31:10to give him any more chances.
00:31:13Mr. Mayor,
00:31:13it's not just the ingredients.
00:31:15The entire interior
00:31:16of Iron Anchor
00:31:16is built with the cheapest,
00:31:17most flammable formalhyde-laden boards
00:31:19just painted over
00:31:19with a layer of gold.
00:31:20Iron Anchor is basically
00:31:21a poison gas chamber
00:31:22that would explode
00:31:23the second it touches fire.
00:31:27That's disgusting.
00:31:28All for show.
00:31:30Percy,
00:31:31get out of the restaurant industry.
00:31:34Mr. Mayor,
00:31:35I was wrong.
00:31:36I just wanted the restaurant
00:31:37to look better.
00:31:38You risk people's lives
00:31:40just to look good?
00:31:41Percy's tears rolled down
00:31:43his fake,
00:31:44lying face.
00:31:44He used to throw money
00:31:46in front of me
00:31:46and call me a country bumpin'
00:31:48who'd never seen the world.
00:31:49And now,
00:31:50that live-streaming empire
00:31:51he so carefully built
00:31:53was collapsing inch by inch
00:31:55in front of a global audience.
00:31:56I hereby declare
00:31:58Sea Mist Restaurant
00:31:59the industry benchmark restaurant
00:32:02for this year.
00:32:03Effective immediately,
00:32:05Iron Anchor's business license
00:32:07is permanently revoked.
00:32:09All assets are to be seized.
00:32:11Percy is under
00:32:12official investigation
00:32:13for food safety crimes
00:32:15and commercial fraud.
00:32:18Now,
00:32:18throw this cockroach
00:32:20out of here.
00:32:28Grayson!
00:32:29Save me!
00:32:30You're my own little brother.
00:32:31Your restaurant
00:32:32is right across the street.
00:32:33You can fix this.
00:32:34You have to.
00:32:35I gave him a year.
00:32:36A whole year.
00:32:38But all he ever learned
00:32:39was how to put on a show
00:32:40for his live screen.
00:32:41Grayson!
00:32:43Grayson,
00:32:44I'm begging you.
00:32:45You're tight with the mayor.
00:32:46Please put in a good word for me.
00:32:47You can't let them close my place.
00:32:48That's everything I've got.
00:32:50Everything you've got, Percy?
00:32:52You call rotten meat
00:32:53and fake gold
00:32:53paint everything you've got?
00:32:55Just don't shut me down.
00:32:56I'll do anything you want.
00:32:57I'll give you all the shares.
00:32:58You come back and be the boss.
00:33:00I'll work for you.
00:33:01I'll be your line cook.
00:33:02Percy,
00:33:03do you remember
00:33:03how you humiliated Grayson?
00:33:05You said he was only worth
00:33:062,000 bucks.
00:33:07You said a homeless guy
00:33:08off the street
00:33:08could replace him.
00:33:10A year ago,
00:33:11I begged him
00:33:12in the pouring rain
00:33:12just like this
00:33:13to pay the supplier
00:33:15what he owed.
00:33:16He rolled down
00:33:16his car window,
00:33:18blew smoke in my face,
00:33:19and told me
00:33:20I didn't understand business.
00:33:22Percy,
00:33:22your biggest mistake
00:33:23wasn't greed.
00:33:24It was that you never
00:33:25learned to respect food.
00:33:27Someone who can make
00:33:27the finest fish
00:33:28smell like death
00:33:29has no place
00:33:30in a kitchen.
00:33:32You're really gonna
00:33:32just let me die?
00:33:33For old time's sake,
00:33:35since you want to be
00:33:35a line cook so bad,
00:33:37C-Miss just happens
00:33:38to be looking for someone
00:33:39to clean the bathrooms.
00:33:402,000 a month.
00:33:41And the only reason
00:33:42I'm even offering it to you
00:33:43is out of respect
00:33:44for you being my big brother.
00:33:49Mr. Grayson,
00:33:50I'm officially transferring
00:33:51my $5 million
00:33:52annual banquet booking
00:33:53to C-Miss Restaurant.
00:33:54Name your price.
00:33:54Just make sure that
00:33:55Oto Sushi shows up
00:33:56at my event.
00:33:57Grayson,
00:33:57this is a long-term
00:33:58letter of intent
00:33:59from the Manhattan
00:33:59Restaurant Association.
00:34:01We're willing to pay
00:34:01a 50% premium
00:34:02as long as C-Miss agrees
00:34:03to be our partner.
00:34:04Three hours ago,
00:34:05these same people
00:34:06watched Percy humiliate
00:34:07me in front of everyone.
00:34:08They laughed at me,
00:34:08a lowly line cook
00:34:09who didn't know his place.
00:34:10Now, they're willing
00:34:11to pay double
00:34:11just to beg me
00:34:12for a partnership.
00:34:13C-Miss will only sign
00:34:14with one partner
00:34:15in the next year.
00:34:16That spot,
00:34:17you'll have to fight
00:34:18for it yourselves.
00:34:19I have the strongest capital,
00:34:21that spot belongs to me!
00:34:22What can you offer
00:34:23besides money?
00:34:24I can provide
00:34:25the biggest advertising
00:34:25and sales channels!
00:34:27Get lost!
00:34:27This opportunity is mine!
00:34:33With the mayor's endorsement
00:34:34and the title
00:34:35of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:34:37C-Miss was splattered
00:34:38all over countless posters.
00:34:40Customers poured
00:34:41into C-Miss non-stop.
00:34:44Mia and I opened
00:34:45three more locations together.
00:34:47I never held back.
00:34:48I shared everything I knew.
00:34:50C-Miss will always stand
00:34:51for healthy,
00:34:52delicious food.
00:35:00All those prepayments
00:35:01that should have gone
00:35:02into Iron Anchor's account,
00:35:03they were now flooding
00:35:04into mine instead.
00:35:06Oh my God,
00:35:07I can't believe my eyes.
00:35:09Grayson,
00:35:10in less than half an hour,
00:35:11the prepayments
00:35:12have already topped
00:35:13three million!
00:35:14We made it!
00:35:15Grayson,
00:35:16you deserve this.
00:35:17The restaurant industry
00:35:18doesn't need some performer
00:35:19who only knows how to lie.
00:35:21It needs craftsmen like you,
00:35:23people with soul
00:35:24when it comes to food.
00:35:26This is the contract
00:35:27for government catering
00:35:28for the next year.
00:35:35Pleasure doing business with you.
00:35:36At that moment,
00:35:37Percy,
00:35:38his face caked with mud,
00:35:40pressed himself
00:35:41against the window
00:35:42like a ghost,
00:35:43watching me sign
00:35:44contract after contract,
00:35:45signing away
00:35:46millions of dollars.
00:35:47Furious,
00:35:48he tried to get in,
00:35:49but the security guard
00:35:50at the door
00:35:51shoved him back,
00:35:52sending him tumbling
00:35:53down the steps.
00:35:54Get out of my way!
00:35:55That bastard Grayson
00:35:57took everything from me!
00:35:58This was supposed
00:35:59to be mine!
00:36:00Move along!
00:36:01This is no place
00:36:01for a homeless guy!
00:36:03He was out there watching.
00:36:05I was in here sitting.
00:36:07That single pane of glass
00:36:09was the line
00:36:10between heaven and hell.
00:36:11He used to say
00:36:12that without him,
00:36:13I'd be begging
00:36:14for food in Chinatown.
00:36:15Now,
00:36:16he can't even get past
00:36:17the door of my restaurant.
00:36:20Grayson!
00:36:21You traitor!
00:36:26Percy was curled up
00:36:27next to a stinking dumpster.
00:36:29His $1,000
00:36:30tuxedo
00:36:31was caked with grime.
00:36:32He was too afraid
00:36:34to go home
00:36:34because all the partners
00:36:36he'd arrogantly
00:36:37signed with before
00:36:38were now turning on him
00:36:39after Iron Anchor
00:36:40got shut down.
00:36:41What awaited him
00:36:42was massive penalty fees
00:36:44and the fury
00:36:45of every single one
00:36:46of those partners.
00:36:52Hello?
00:36:53Boss,
00:36:54just give me
00:36:54a little more time.
00:36:55Time?
00:36:56Percy,
00:36:56your old frozen meat
00:36:58got my license revoked.
00:36:59According to the contract,
00:37:00you owe me triple the penalty.
00:37:02That's $2 million.
00:37:03If I don't see that money
00:37:04by tomorrow morning,
00:37:05you can go feed the fish
00:37:06in the Hudson River.
00:37:13Percy,
00:37:14this is James
00:37:14from Seafood Logistics.
00:37:16That industry benchmark
00:37:16prize you promised
00:37:17was total bullshit.
00:37:19I want my shipping fees
00:37:19and the $500,000 penalty.
00:37:21Transfer it now.
00:37:22Otherwise,
00:37:22I'm sending your address
00:37:23to every creditor
00:37:24in Manhattan.
00:37:26Percy pinned
00:37:27all his remaining hope
00:37:28on live streaming.
00:37:29He begged his viewers
00:37:30to send him money
00:37:31to save Iron Anchor.
00:37:32He made a complete fool
00:37:34of himself
00:37:34like a stray dog
00:37:35losing every shred
00:37:36of dignity.
00:37:37He did pathetic stunts.
00:37:38He even fought
00:37:39homeless people for food.
00:37:40You felled us garbage
00:37:41for so long.
00:37:42What right does an animal
00:37:43like you have
00:37:43to ask for our forgiveness?
00:37:45Report him.
00:37:46Make him disappear for good.
00:37:48No, no, no.
00:37:49If I hadn't skimped
00:37:50on that $90,000,
00:37:51if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:37:52that $6 million
00:37:53would have been mine.
00:37:54The mayor's praise
00:37:55would have been mine too.
00:37:56He finally understood.
00:37:58Losing me
00:37:58wasn't just losing a line cook.
00:38:00It was losing his only brain
00:38:01and his last chance
00:38:03to be a decent human being.
00:38:04The live stream ban
00:38:05was the final straw
00:38:06that broke Percy.
00:38:08He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:38:10glowing with lights,
00:38:11and finally broke down sobbing.
00:38:14I was wrong.
00:38:16Grayson, I was really wrong.
00:38:23Time to pay up.
00:38:27Hear my love.
00:38:37I took Mia out
00:38:39for a nice meal
00:38:39because we were
00:38:41so poor last year.
00:38:42I couldn't even feed
00:38:43my pregnant wife
00:38:44decent food
00:38:45more than a few times.
00:38:47Mia, thank you
00:38:48for everything
00:38:50these past three years.
00:38:52Grayson,
00:38:53I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:38:54A month ago,
00:38:55we were stressing
00:38:56over $500 in rent.
00:38:58Dreams end,
00:38:59but these numbers
00:39:00don't lie.
00:39:01Three days ago,
00:39:02I sat here watching
00:39:03Percy throw money around
00:39:04like it was nothing.
00:39:05Now,
00:39:06Sea Mist's weekly revenue alone
00:39:07equals his entire
00:39:08net profit from last year.
00:39:10Ones,
00:39:10tens,
00:39:11hundreds,
00:39:11thousands,
00:39:11tens of thousands.
00:39:12Grayson,
00:39:13the prepayments
00:39:14and net profit,
00:39:15it's over six million?
00:39:16That's just the first week.
00:39:17With the mayor's endorsement,
00:39:18every big name in New York,
00:39:20politicians,
00:39:21and socialettes alike
00:39:21is lining up.
00:39:23We're already booked
00:39:24through Christmas next year.
00:39:25We're rich.
00:39:26We can give our child
00:39:27the best education.
00:39:29We never have to live
00:39:30under Percy's thumb again.
00:39:31I looked at Mia's
00:39:32excited face.
00:39:33It warmed my heart.
00:39:35To the future.
00:39:37Cheers.
00:39:39And Percy?
00:39:40At that very moment,
00:39:41he was huddled
00:39:42next to a dumpster,
00:39:43gnawling on someone
00:39:44else's disparted bread.
00:39:49I moved Mia
00:39:50out of that tiny
00:39:50rental apartment
00:39:51and bought the best
00:39:52estate in the city.
00:39:53Mr. Grayson,
00:39:54this is the most private
00:39:55estate in the entire city.
00:39:56It comes with its own
00:39:57helipad and a top
00:39:58of the security system.
00:39:59Do you like it?
00:40:00The sunlight here
00:40:01is beautiful.
00:40:02Perfect for our kid
00:40:03to run around
00:40:03on the grass someday.
00:40:04I never imagined
00:40:05I'd live in a place
00:40:05like this someday.
00:40:07Grayson,
00:40:07this is too expensive.
00:40:09Mia,
00:40:09you deserve the best.
00:40:10Just sign it.
00:40:11This will be
00:40:11our family's safe haven.
00:40:13Now,
00:40:13I bought the estate
00:40:14that Percy
00:40:15never even dared
00:40:16to dream of
00:40:17stepping foot in.
00:40:18And him?
00:40:19He's hiding
00:40:20in some dark corner,
00:40:21running from the creditors,
00:40:23the soft opening
00:40:23of Seamist branch
00:40:24was a huge success.
00:40:25We can officially launch
00:40:26the expansion plan now.
00:40:28Yes,
00:40:28Mr. Grayson,
00:40:29the top 10 commercial districts
00:40:30are all fighting
00:40:31for us to set up there.
00:40:32The contracts are ready.
00:40:33Tell them this,
00:40:34Seamist has only one standard,
00:40:36the finest ingredients,
00:40:37absolute transparency.
00:40:39Percy failed
00:40:39because he looked
00:40:40at his customers
00:40:40and saw cash cows.
00:40:42I succeeded
00:40:43because I treat food
00:40:43like a religion.
00:40:45Expanding the business
00:40:46isn't about hoarding money.
00:40:47It's about letting more people
00:40:49around the world
00:40:49enjoy this food.
00:40:51Grayson,
00:40:51we're really starting
00:40:53a new life.
00:40:56The first stop
00:40:57for our expansion?
00:40:58That port Percy
00:40:59always wanted
00:41:00to take over
00:41:01for himself.
00:41:14Goodbye, Grayson.
00:41:15You made it.
00:41:17You goddamn piece of trash.
00:41:19You actually sold
00:41:20banned meat?
00:41:20Are you even human?
00:41:21Dad,
00:41:23I was just trying
00:41:24to make money.
00:41:25Who knew that ungrateful
00:41:26snake Grayson
00:41:27would turn on me?
00:41:27Turn on you?
00:41:28If it weren't for him,
00:41:30we'd all be in prison
00:41:31right now
00:41:31because of you.
00:41:33We have no place
00:41:34for a beast like you.
00:41:35I was tasting
00:41:36the finest wine
00:41:37in my estate.
00:41:37Percy was in that old house,
00:41:39taking the beating
00:41:40my parents should have
00:41:40given him long ago.
00:41:42He used to think
00:41:42he was the pride
00:41:43of the family.
00:41:44In truth,
00:41:44he was just a cowardly,
00:41:45rotten parasite.
00:41:46You're a monster!
00:41:47Get out!
00:41:48Stop hitting me!
00:41:50Grayson is loaded.
00:41:51He's got tens of millions now.
00:41:52Make him help me!
00:41:55You still have the nerve
00:41:57to mention him?
00:41:58When you paid him
00:41:59two thousand bucks
00:42:00did you ever stop
00:42:00to think he was
00:42:01your little brother?
00:42:02Get out!
00:42:03Go be a line cook
00:42:04out on the streets!
00:42:12His nightmare
00:42:13had only just begun.
00:42:25What happened at Iron Anchor
00:42:27was a misunderstanding.
00:42:28I already switched suppliers.
00:42:31Just lift the ban, please.
00:42:33Give me one more day.
00:42:35Mr. Percy,
00:42:36your restaurant
00:42:36is on the national blacklist now.
00:42:38Old frozen meat
00:42:39and formalide-laden decor?
00:42:41Those search terms
00:42:42are number one on Google.
00:42:43Stop wasting our time.
00:42:45Get out
00:42:45and don't bring that stench
00:42:46into our office.
00:42:48Reputation takes a year
00:42:49to build
00:42:50and one plate
00:42:50of rotten
00:42:51Otoro sushi
00:42:52to destroy.
00:42:58Lisa!
00:43:00Where are you going?
00:43:01My cards are frozen.
00:43:02You have to help me.
00:43:03Help you?
00:43:04Percy?
00:43:05Right now,
00:43:05you're worse
00:43:06than a homeless guy
00:43:07on the street.
00:43:08These bottles
00:43:09are my appearance fee
00:43:10for putting on that show
00:43:11with you for a year.
00:43:12Don't contact me again.
00:43:13I don't want creditors
00:43:15thinking I'm your partner.
00:43:16The love he was so proud of?
00:43:20It ran faster than anyone
00:43:22the moment Iron Anchor
00:43:23got shut down.
00:43:25That's my car!
00:43:26That's my money!
00:43:34Watching Percy
00:43:34fall apart like this,
00:43:36I couldn't help
00:43:37but feel grateful
00:43:38that the woman by my side
00:43:39is Mia.
00:43:43With nowhere left to go,
00:43:45Percy stole mom
00:43:46and dad's retirement savings
00:43:47and borrowed a huge junk
00:43:48of money from the neighbors.
00:43:50My parents called me
00:43:51to handle it.
00:43:52I bought the most expensive
00:43:53estate in Manhattan,
00:43:55a place with a garden
00:43:56bigger than Percy's
00:43:57entire restaurant.
00:43:58I brought Mia back here
00:43:59to show my parents
00:44:00that their younger son,
00:44:01the one they called
00:44:02just a line cook,
00:44:03was the true pride
00:44:05of the family.
00:44:08Mom,
00:44:09just $20,000.
00:44:11Give it to me
00:44:12and I'll pay you back
00:44:1310 times when I'm back
00:44:14on top.
00:44:14You animal!
00:44:15You stole the money
00:44:16mom needs for her heart surgery
00:44:17and you scamp the neighbors.
00:44:19We can't even show
00:44:19our faces outside anymore.
00:44:21Are you going to drive us crazy?
00:44:22Grayson,
00:44:23you ungrateful snake.
00:44:24You live in a mansion
00:44:25where suits worth
00:44:26tens of thousands
00:44:27and you just watch
00:44:27your own brother die?
00:44:28Dad, mom,
00:44:29here are the keys
00:44:30to your new house,
00:44:31a villa I bought for you
00:44:32on the Upper East Side.
00:44:33It comes with the best
00:44:34in-home doctors.
00:44:36Percy,
00:44:36don't you dare use
00:44:37the word family
00:44:38to disgust me.
00:44:39The moment you stole
00:44:39their retirement money,
00:44:40you should have realized
00:44:41you're already out
00:44:42of this family.
00:44:46Money!
00:44:47That's mine!
00:44:49You owe me!
00:44:51This money is for the neighbors.
00:44:52As for you, Percy,
00:44:54you don't deserve
00:44:54to touch a single cent.
00:44:56I was wearing clothes
00:44:56he could never afford
00:44:57in his lifetime.
00:44:58I was standing at a height
00:44:59he would never reach
00:45:00and he was down
00:45:01on the ground
00:45:02like a dog
00:45:03finally realizing
00:45:04he had lost.
00:45:12Good morning,
00:45:13Mr. Grayson.
00:45:14Thank you for the jobs
00:45:15you've provided.
00:45:16Mr. Grayson,
00:45:17Seamist Restaurant
00:45:18is truly the pride
00:45:19of this entire street.
00:45:21A month ago,
00:45:22when I walked down
00:45:22this street,
00:45:23everyone looked at me
00:45:24like I was a joke.
00:45:25Now,
00:45:25I own half the storefronts
00:45:27on this block
00:45:27and the looks people give me
00:45:29have gone from contempt
00:45:30to respect.
00:45:31Suddenly,
00:45:32from the end of the street,
00:45:33a sharp scream
00:45:34cut through the air,
00:45:34followed by a sickening crunch.
00:45:37Two million in penalties!
00:45:39You promised to pay today!
00:45:40Where's the money?
00:45:45He's got money.
00:45:46That's my own brother!
00:45:47Go ask him!
00:45:48He could sneeze
00:45:49and have enough
00:45:49to pay you all off!
00:45:50A piece of trash like you
00:45:52dares to call him your brother?
00:45:53He just issued
00:45:54a statement in the paper!
00:45:55He's cutting all ties with you!
00:45:56No money, huh?
00:45:57Then we do it the old way.
00:45:58Let's start with two fingers.
00:46:05I took Mia's hand
00:46:07and stepped through
00:46:07the magnificent doors
00:46:08of Seamist Restaurant.
00:46:09Behind me,
00:46:10Percy's screams
00:46:11for help echoed
00:46:12as the debt cappers
00:46:13dragged him into the shadows.
00:46:14Please!
00:46:15Go tell those guys
00:46:16don't let any blood
00:46:18get spilled
00:46:18in front of my restaurant
00:46:19and make it quick.
00:46:21Yes,
00:46:21Mr. Grayson.
00:46:35From today on,
00:46:36Seamist is no longer
00:46:37just a restaurant.
00:46:38We're going to build
00:46:38the most legitimate
00:46:39food supply chain
00:46:40in this city.
00:46:41And the people on Surlate,
00:46:43if they're clean,
00:46:44no tricks,
00:46:45no dirt,
00:46:45I'll double their pay.
00:46:46Yes, Grayson!
00:46:48Grayson,
00:46:49congratulations
00:46:49on the new company.
00:46:50I left that loser
00:46:51Percy because I could see
00:46:53you were the real deal,
00:46:54the one who actually
00:46:54gets things done.
00:46:56Grayson,
00:46:57does Seamist need
00:46:58a PR director
00:46:59or maybe
00:47:00a personal assistant?
00:47:01I know everything you like,
00:47:02just like I knew
00:47:03everything about Percy.
00:47:05Lisa,
00:47:05you sure knew Percy.
00:47:06You knew exactly
00:47:07how to kick him
00:47:08when he was down
00:47:08and you know exactly
00:47:09how to crawl back
00:47:10like a parasite
00:47:11the second you smell money.
00:47:12Miss Lisa,
00:47:13Seamist doesn't need
00:47:14an assistant,
00:47:15but we are looking
00:47:15for a cleaner
00:47:16to take out the trash.
00:47:17But take a look
00:47:17at your clothes.
00:47:18I doubt you could even
00:47:19hold a rag, Stady.
00:47:20Get this piece of cheap
00:47:21perfumed garbage
00:47:22out of here.
00:47:23From today on,
00:47:24if she shows up
00:47:25within a kilometer
00:47:25of sea mist,
00:47:27call the cops immediately.
00:47:28Grayson,
00:47:29don't get cocky!
00:47:31You were just
00:47:31a line cook too!
00:47:35I watched her
00:47:36pathetic retreat.
00:47:37In the eyes
00:47:38of opportunists
00:47:38like her,
00:47:39every spot next to me
00:47:40has a price tag.
00:47:41But they don't know.
00:47:43Mia lived with me
00:47:44in that leaky
00:47:45rental apartment.
00:47:46I know for certain,
00:47:48she is the one
00:47:48and only love my life.
00:47:50Why do you keep
00:47:51staring at me?
00:47:55Mia,
00:47:57I think I owe you
00:47:58a grand wedding.
00:48:12Mr. Grayson,
00:48:13do you take Mia
00:48:14to be your wife,
00:48:15to cherish her
00:48:16in both poverty
00:48:17and wealth?
00:48:18I do.
00:48:21Today,
00:48:22all those wealthy socialettes
00:48:24who used to mock us
00:48:25as the poor couple
00:48:26are sitting right there
00:48:28in the audience,
00:48:28applauding us
00:48:29with the most
00:48:30flattering cheers.
00:48:32This is the coronation
00:48:33I promised my wife.
00:48:41Grayson,
00:48:41save me!
00:48:42The debt collure
00:48:42has broke my fingers.
00:48:43I'm in the alley
00:48:44right outside the church.
00:48:45Please,
00:48:46just give me
00:48:46$50,000 one last time.
00:48:50Is it him?
00:48:59Someone who doesn't matter.
00:49:01He doesn't get
00:49:02to disturb our wedding.
00:49:03I'm not going to
00:49:04pile on someone
00:49:05already down.
00:49:06Not out of mercy.
00:49:07He's just not worth
00:49:08my time.
00:49:09But I'm not a
00:49:10pushover either.
00:49:11Kindness needs teeth
00:49:13or it means nothing.
00:49:23That was mine.
00:49:24That should have been mine.
00:49:26That $6 million,
00:49:28the fame,
00:49:29the woman,
00:49:29all of it was mine.
00:49:31I bought the most
00:49:32expensive billboard
00:49:33in Times Square
00:49:34and played my wedding
00:49:35video on loop.
00:49:36Percy watched
00:49:37the screen in fury.
00:49:38Percy,
00:49:39your big shot brother
00:49:40already said he's
00:49:40stripping you
00:49:41of his last name.
00:49:42You don't even have
00:49:42a surname anymore now.
00:49:44He's got money.
00:49:44He's got billions.
00:49:46Go kill him.
00:49:46Kill him and all that
00:49:47money becomes mine.
00:49:49Kill him?
00:49:50Grayson is the mayor's
00:49:51right-hand band now.
00:49:52He's got thousands
00:49:53of bodyguards.
00:49:54But you,
00:49:55your eyeballs
00:49:55are worth something.
00:49:56How about we take
00:49:57them as interest first?
00:50:01Grayson,
00:50:02you think you've won?
00:50:03Your woman's
00:50:04about to give birth,
00:50:05right?
00:50:06You're going to
00:50:06regret this.
00:50:07I'm going to
00:50:08destroy your happiness.
00:50:09Completely.
00:50:10I thought he would
00:50:11just wither away
00:50:12in his despair.
00:50:13I underestimated
00:50:15how deeply greed
00:50:16and jealousy
00:50:16can twister
00:50:17the person's soul.
00:50:19A vicious plan
00:50:20was closing in on me.
00:50:30Grayson,
00:50:31you live in a mansion
00:50:32worth thousands
00:50:33of square feet
00:50:34and you're going to
00:50:35let me freeze to death
00:50:36out here?
00:50:37Grayson,
00:50:37you know,
00:50:38he is your own brother.
00:50:39Can't you give him
00:50:40one more chance?
00:50:41A year ago,
00:50:41Percy was throwing
00:50:42money around at Iron Anchor
00:50:44while mom and dad
00:50:45lived in that
00:50:45leaky old house.
00:50:46He never once
00:50:47mentioned family.
00:50:48Now that he's drowning,
00:50:49he's using our
00:50:50elderly parents
00:50:51to play the guilt card.
00:50:52That kind of
00:50:53guilt is disgusted
00:50:54to me even more
00:50:55than that plate
00:50:55of rotten
00:50:56motosushi.
00:51:02Brother,
00:51:03save me!
00:51:04Just transfer
00:51:0410%
00:51:06of CMYS shares
00:51:07to me
00:51:08and the creditors
00:51:08will leave me alone!
00:51:10Mom and dad,
00:51:10please say something
00:51:11for me!
00:51:13Grayson,
00:51:13those deck cleapers
00:51:14are beating Percy
00:51:15half to death!
00:51:16He still has the strength
00:51:17to beg.
00:51:17He still has the strength
00:51:18to come here.
00:51:19He's perfectly capable
00:51:20of pulling himself
00:51:21out of this mess.
00:51:22You cold-blooded freak!
00:51:32You tried to hurt
00:51:33your own little brother?
00:51:35Please!
00:51:36Mom, dad,
00:51:38this is the son
00:51:38you wanted me to help.
00:51:40He never once
00:51:41thought of us
00:51:41as family.
00:51:44I never kick a man
00:51:46when he's down,
00:51:47but I will not
00:51:47repay evil
00:51:48with kindness.
00:51:51In that moment,
00:51:52his last family card
00:51:54was burned to ash
00:51:55by my own hand.
00:51:57You animal!
00:51:58Now we only have
00:51:59one son,
00:52:00Grayson!
00:52:01Don't you ever
00:52:01show your face
00:52:02in front of us again!
00:52:03No!
00:52:04No!
00:52:05Mom!
00:52:06Dad!
00:52:06No!
00:52:07No!
00:52:08No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:12No!
00:52:15No!
00:52:15Grayson,
00:52:16it was our fault
00:52:16for asking you
00:52:17to help him.
00:52:19Don't worry about it,
00:52:20Mom.
00:52:21Mr. Grayson,
00:52:22it's bad.
00:52:23While your parents
00:52:24were asleep,
00:52:24a man claiming
00:52:25to be their son
00:52:26forced his way in
00:52:27and took their bags.
00:52:28That animal?
00:52:29Those bags had
00:52:30Mom and Dad's
00:52:31life savings!
00:52:32Their only retirement money!
00:52:35I thought Percy
00:52:36would just crawl
00:52:37into some corner
00:52:38and wait to die
00:52:39after being exposed.
00:52:40I underestimated
00:52:41how desperate
00:52:42a gambler
00:52:42with nothing left
00:52:43to loss can become.
00:52:50He didn't steal
00:52:51that money
00:52:51to pay off
00:52:52his debts.
00:52:52He stole it
00:52:53to feed his
00:52:54delusional dream
00:52:54of a comeback.
00:52:58Grayson,
00:52:59we found him.
00:53:00Percy has hooked up
00:53:01with an underground
00:53:01factory in Brooklyn.
00:53:03They produce
00:53:03illegal chemical
00:53:04flavorings
00:53:04that are highly
00:53:05addictive.
00:53:06He's trying to
00:53:06use those poisons
00:53:07to copy
00:53:08Seamist's taste
00:53:08and force his way
00:53:09back into the market.
00:53:10For a little money,
00:53:11he's willing to do
00:53:12something like this?
00:53:25Get the best
00:53:26medical team
00:53:26in the country.
00:53:2724-hour care
00:53:28for Mom and Dad.
00:53:29Do whatever it takes
00:53:30to keep them
00:53:31from finding out
00:53:31what that bastard
00:53:32Percy has done.
00:53:33As for Percy,
00:53:34I'm going to make him pay.
00:53:37Before,
00:53:37I just wanted to see him
00:53:39broken on the streets.
00:53:40Now,
00:53:41I'm going to take him
00:53:42out myself.
00:53:48Talk!
00:53:50What did that
00:53:50ungrateful bastard
00:53:51give you?
00:53:52How dare you call him
00:53:54the most conscientious
00:53:55chef in Manhattan
00:53:56on livestream?
00:53:57He was about to
00:53:58pass out from hunger
00:53:59and I gave him
00:54:00a burger.
00:54:01He's a good man.
00:54:02You're the real demon.
00:54:05A good man?
00:54:07I'll break the hand
00:54:08that fed him.
00:54:09You're the real demon.
00:54:14Percy, go ahead.
00:54:15Touch that hand
00:54:16and see what happens.
00:54:18Grayson!
00:54:19You think just because
00:54:20you're some big shot now
00:54:21you're untouchable?
00:54:22This old man insulted me.
00:54:24I'll kill him!
00:54:29My hand!
00:54:30Grayson,
00:54:31you crazy bastard!
00:54:32That one's for the burger.
00:54:35My rule is simple.
00:54:37A kindness,
00:54:38I return it tenfold.
00:54:39A slight,
00:54:40I break the bone
00:54:41and from that
00:54:42delivered it.
00:54:46Sir,
00:54:47an apartment on the
00:54:48Upper East Side
00:54:49and a restaurant
00:54:50on Sorelli Street.
00:54:52They're yours now.
00:54:53Mr. Grayson,
00:54:56this is too much.
00:54:58This is nothing
00:54:59next to that burger
00:55:00you gave me back then.
00:55:02Percy lay there
00:55:03in the filthy water
00:55:03watching the trash
00:55:05he'd just been kicked
00:55:06suddenly become
00:55:06the property owner
00:55:07he only ever dreamed.
00:55:09Jealousy and pain
00:55:10drove you half the sun.
00:55:17You just wait!
00:55:20While I sat atop
00:55:21Sea Mist restaurant
00:55:22enjoying the rich aroma
00:55:24of premium wagyu,
00:55:26Percy was hiding
00:55:27in the stinking alleys
00:55:28of the slums
00:55:29trying to make
00:55:30his last desperate comeback.
00:55:35You see in this?
00:55:36This is what
00:55:37real charity looks like.
00:55:39Sea Mist charges
00:55:40thousands for one meal.
00:55:42That's robbery.
00:55:43My bliss box
00:55:44is only $9.99.
00:55:46$9.99.
00:55:48Get it while it lasts.
00:55:50You losers!
00:55:52Eat it or don't,
00:55:53I don't care.
00:55:54Once I save up enough
00:55:55to buy out the Sea Mist,
00:55:56you could beg for it
00:55:56on your knees.
00:55:57Get lost!
00:55:58All of you haters,
00:56:00get lost!
00:56:01He had become
00:56:02a complete outcast,
00:56:04despised by the entire internet.
00:56:05He was poisoning
00:56:06those poor people,
00:56:07using that nerve-destroying
00:56:09addictive flavoring
00:56:10to make money,
00:56:11dreaming of making a comeback.
00:56:12He was night.
00:56:13The foundation of business
00:56:14has never been
00:56:15violent addiction.
00:56:16It's absolute control
00:56:18over the global supply chain.
00:56:25Grayson,
00:56:26you came to laugh
00:56:27at me?
00:56:27Look!
00:56:28Look at all these people
00:56:29in line!
00:56:30My capital is doubling!
00:56:32Soon I'll be able
00:56:33to buy out
00:56:33your fake little restaurant!
00:56:35What have you got
00:56:36to fight me with?
00:56:38In Sea Mist Group's name,
00:56:39inform the Global Spice Association.
00:56:41From this moment on,
00:56:43whoever sells
00:56:43one gram of spice
00:56:44to any factory
00:56:45connected to Percy
00:56:46will be permanently erased
00:56:47from the global supply chain.
00:56:48Spice?
00:56:48I've got money,
00:56:49you idiot!
00:56:50I'll just buy some
00:56:51from Chinatown!
00:56:51Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:56What?
00:56:57Not just the big suppliers?
00:56:58Even the small workshops
00:56:59are cancelling?
00:57:00They're demanding
00:57:01triple the refund?
00:57:02Without spice,
00:57:03I can't cover up
00:57:03the bitterness
00:57:04of all that expired
00:57:05rotten meat!
00:57:06Hello?
00:57:06Percy,
00:57:07without fire and salt,
00:57:08you can't even cook
00:57:09a plate of garbage.
00:57:11I cut off
00:57:12his last lifeline.
00:57:21Leo,
00:57:22you're the person
00:57:23Grayson trusts the most.
00:57:24Just put one drop
00:57:25of this vial
00:57:26into his tuna.
00:57:27This five million
00:57:28and shares
00:57:29in the new company.
00:57:30It's all yours.
00:57:32Five million.
00:57:33Gotta admit,
00:57:34that's tempting.
00:57:35Ha ha ha ha!
00:57:36Good!
00:57:36That arrogant bastard,
00:57:38Grayson,
00:57:38he never imagined
00:57:39he'd be betrayed
00:57:40by someone he saved.
00:57:42Percy,
00:57:43looks like you forgot.
00:57:44Leo was about to go under,
00:57:45and I'm the one
00:57:46who pulled him out.
00:57:47Your filthy money
00:57:48couldn't even buy back
00:57:49the life I saved
00:57:50for him back then.
00:57:51When I save someone,
00:57:53loyalty is in their blood.
00:57:56Percy's blood?
00:57:57It's pure,
00:57:58rotting greed.
00:57:59Trying to buy loyalty
00:58:01with filthy garbage
00:58:02like that
00:58:02is basically him
00:58:03executing whatever
00:58:04intelligence he had left.
00:58:07Tell me,
00:58:08if you drank that stuff
00:58:10you picked up yourself,
00:58:11what do you think
00:58:11would happen?
00:58:12No.
00:58:14No.
00:58:16Grayson,
00:58:16I'm your own brother.
00:58:18Don't kill me.
00:58:19Kill you?
00:58:21That would dirty my basement.
00:58:25Send him back,
00:58:26crawling in the mud.
00:58:28That's the only thing
00:58:28that suits him.
00:58:29He took a step against me,
00:58:30so I'll make sure
00:58:31he never walks straight again.
00:58:33His dignity?
00:58:34I've stomped it
00:58:35straight into the gutter.
00:58:39Starting today,
00:58:41the Sea Mist Group
00:58:42is acquiring
00:58:42every last shop
00:58:43on Surla Street.
00:58:45All of you
00:58:45who didn't follow Percy
00:58:46when he was doing
00:58:47his dirty work,
00:58:48you each receive
00:58:49a 5%
00:58:50in the original shares.
00:58:54I came back to rebuild,
00:58:56not to take revenge.
00:58:58I wanted these honest
00:58:59people to know,
00:59:00follow Grayson,
00:59:01and even a vegetable
00:59:02seller can stand tall
00:59:04and make money
00:59:04right here in Manhattan.
00:59:10Hurry up.
00:59:11Just give me some bread.
00:59:12I'm starving.
00:59:13Here.
00:59:13Mr. Grayson specifically
00:59:15asked for this,
00:59:16for some special people.
00:59:18Three-day-old stale ends.
00:59:22I watched him.
00:59:25He once wanted
00:59:26to starve me.
00:59:28Now,
00:59:29he's only breathing
00:59:30because I choose
00:59:31to throw him scraps.
00:59:34Percy,
00:59:35you're not off the hook yet.
00:59:36That illegal factory's poison?
00:59:39Time for you
00:59:39to take a sip yourself.
00:59:46Everyone,
00:59:47Sea Mist restaurants,
00:59:48so-called natural ingredients,
00:59:50are nothing but a lie
00:59:51for the rich.
00:59:52Today,
00:59:53I'm going to expose
00:59:54Grayson's crimes,
00:59:55monopolizing spices,
00:59:56and driving up prices.
01:00:01Our tech-based food
01:00:02costs only 1%
01:00:04of Sea Mistes,
01:00:05but tastes
01:00:05exactly the same.
01:00:07Grayson's era
01:00:08is over!
01:00:10I saw Percy's
01:00:11little circus act
01:00:12on the screen
01:00:12and it did nothing to me.
01:00:14He's cozying up
01:00:14to those drug manufacturers
01:00:15who skate just inside the law
01:00:17trying to define
01:00:18great food
01:00:18with cheap-muckle garbage.
01:00:19He doesn't understand.
01:00:21Real top-tier ingredients
01:00:22are a gift
01:00:22from the earth
01:00:23and the sun,
01:00:23not some molecular
01:00:24arrangement in a lab.
01:00:30Today,
01:00:31the Sea Mist group
01:00:31will roll out
01:00:32the global
01:00:32restaurant platinum
01:00:33standard.
01:00:34Any restaurant
01:00:35that does not meet
01:00:36the natural supply chain audit
01:00:37will be removed
01:00:38from the global
01:00:39procurement
01:00:39wild-pist for good.
01:00:43Mr. Grayson's proposal
01:00:44is a beacon
01:00:45for the restaurant industry
01:00:46and we support it
01:00:48100%.
01:00:49While Percy was still
01:00:50in that dark little corner
01:00:51trying to smear my name,
01:00:53I was at the top
01:00:54of the food chain,
01:00:56rewriting the rules
01:00:57of the game.
01:00:58He thinks he's competing
01:00:59with me.
01:01:00The truth is,
01:01:01he's just swarming
01:01:03between my fingers.
01:01:05Ah!
01:01:05This is impossible!
01:01:07Why would the WTO
01:01:08stand up for a guy
01:01:09who used to be
01:01:09a line cook?
01:01:12Leo,
01:01:13tell the people
01:01:13next door
01:01:14that my press conference
01:01:15is over.
01:01:16Now,
01:01:17it's time
01:01:18to take out the trash.
01:01:26Grayson!
01:01:27This is illegal entry!
01:01:29My tech food
01:01:30is the future
01:01:31of the industry!
01:01:32The future
01:01:32of the industry?
01:01:33This chemical waste
01:01:35that makes people
01:01:35hallucinate?
01:01:36This bowl of plain
01:01:38kanji,
01:01:39made simply with rice
01:01:40from the 40th parallel north
01:01:41and spring water
01:01:42from Crimea.
01:01:43Judges, please.
01:01:46This is the taste
01:01:48of a mother's cooking.
01:01:49This is the pure
01:01:50warmth of the earth.
01:01:51Today,
01:01:51I destroyed all his
01:01:52hypocrisy and arrogance
01:01:53with a single bowl
01:01:54of plain kanji.
01:01:55A true master chef
01:01:56doesn't need
01:01:56complex recipes.
01:01:58All he needs
01:01:58is a heart
01:01:59that respects nature.
01:02:00Percy's lab-made
01:02:01perfect flavor?
01:02:01Compared to the real deal,
01:02:03it's just a toxic fraud.
01:02:05This is the molecular
01:02:06formula for your
01:02:07synthetic meat.
01:02:09There's a high dose
01:02:10of neural blockers
01:02:11in this.
01:02:11Keep eating it
01:02:12and you'll go crazy.
01:02:14Percy,
01:02:15this isn't cooking.
01:02:16It's straight-up murder!
01:02:19Murderer!
01:02:20Get out of Manhattan!
01:02:21Go to hell,
01:02:22you piece of trash!
01:02:23No, no,
01:02:24this isn't true!
01:02:25Grayson,
01:02:26you're setting me up!
01:02:27Percy,
01:02:27the moment you decided
01:02:28to poison the world
01:02:29with your drugs,
01:02:29the gates of hell
01:02:30were already open for you.
01:02:36Percy knelt on the ground,
01:02:37covered in filth,
01:02:38clinging to his father's legs
01:02:39and wailing.
01:02:40His illegal lab
01:02:41had just been raided
01:02:42by the police.
01:02:42He was now a wanted criminal
01:02:44across the country.
01:02:45Dad, Mom,
01:02:46save me!
01:02:47Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:02:48He's gonna throw me
01:02:50into the meat grinder
01:02:51with all those creditors!
01:02:54Percy,
01:02:56you are still
01:02:57my eldest son
01:02:58after all.
01:03:04Grayson,
01:03:05could you maybe...
01:03:11Mom,
01:03:11even now,
01:03:12you still think
01:03:12he just made a mistake?
01:03:14The first one,
01:03:15this is the pension
01:03:15transfer authorization
01:03:16he personally signed
01:03:17while you were both
01:03:18in the hospital.
01:03:19The second one,
01:03:20this is the contract
01:03:21where he mortgaged
01:03:21this family home
01:03:22to underground loan sharks
01:03:23behind your backs.
01:03:28You animal!
01:03:29You even stole
01:03:30our funeral fund!
01:03:30Do you want the two of us
01:03:31to die on the street?
01:03:32Dad,
01:03:33I was trying to make
01:03:33a comeback!
01:03:34Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:03:35I could buy you
01:03:35a hundred penthouses!
01:03:36Go.
01:03:37Just go, Percy.
01:03:39I don't have a son
01:03:40like you anymore.
01:03:42Percy,
01:03:42the biggest mistake
01:03:43you ever made
01:03:44was treating everyone
01:03:45around you
01:03:46as sacrificial lambs
01:03:47for your own success.
01:03:50Starting today,
01:03:51you are out of this family.
01:03:53Percy,
01:03:54do you remember
01:03:54what you said?
01:03:55That one of us
01:03:56would take over the world
01:03:57and the other
01:03:57would fade into obscurity?
01:03:59I'm gonna make sure
01:03:59you watch me
01:04:00take over the world.
01:04:01Grayson!
01:04:02You goddamn bastard!
01:04:07Grayson,
01:04:07you said you wanted
01:04:09to settle family
01:04:10out.
01:04:10Counts on this day
01:04:11if you don't have
01:04:12solid evidence.
01:04:13You know the consequences.
01:04:15The Thorn family rule
01:04:16is pragmatism.
01:04:18But in this man's hands,
01:04:20rules are just a cover-up
01:04:21for his greed.
01:04:22A year ago,
01:04:23Percy stood at a family
01:04:24gathering and mocked
01:04:25these hands of mine,
01:04:26saying they were only good
01:04:27for holding a kitchen knife.
01:04:28Today,
01:04:28I'm not just taking back
01:04:29my dignity.
01:04:30I'm tearing apart his lies
01:04:31with my own hands.
01:04:32He thought being family
01:04:34would save him,
01:04:34like a free pass.
01:04:35What he didn't know
01:04:36is that before absolute rules,
01:04:38every single betrayal
01:04:39comes with a price.
01:04:41First crime,
01:04:41exploitation.
01:04:43In the three years
01:04:43at Iron Anchor,
01:04:44he withheld $90,000
01:04:45of my front propyorkant payment
01:04:46and treated me
01:04:47like cheap liber.
01:04:48Second crime,
01:04:49poisoning.
01:04:50He colluded with chemical companies
01:04:51and added nerve-blocking agents
01:04:52to the ingredients.
01:04:53This is a direct assault
01:04:54on the hundred-year reputation.
01:04:56Third crime,
01:04:57attempted murder.
01:04:58He tried to attack
01:04:59and harm me.
01:05:01You animal!
01:05:03You dare to harm
01:05:04your own brother?
01:05:05Fourth crime,
01:05:06and the most unforgivable one,
01:05:08embezzlement.
01:05:08While our parents
01:05:09were in the hospital,
01:05:10he stole their pension
01:05:11and mortgaged the family home.
01:05:13He tried to push
01:05:14the very people
01:05:14who raised him
01:05:15into the Hudson River.
01:05:16No,
01:05:16that was all for business.
01:05:18Grayson,
01:05:19you're insane.
01:05:20Evidence is cold,
01:05:21but people's hearts are hot.
01:05:22The moment those four crimes
01:05:23came together,
01:05:24to these elders,
01:05:25he was no longer
01:05:25the hope of the family.
01:05:26He was a rotting sword
01:05:27that had to be cut out.
01:05:28You worthless bastard!
01:05:30What do you have to say
01:05:30for yourself?
01:05:37Elder,
01:05:38even if I was wrong,
01:05:39I'm the only business genius
01:05:40in this family.
01:05:41Grayson is just a cook.
01:05:42He can't protect
01:05:43the family's legacy.
01:05:44A business genius?
01:05:46Parsi,
01:05:47all your so-called management
01:05:48is just chasing
01:05:49internet fame
01:05:50while clinging
01:05:50to the dying
01:05:51Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:05:56This is CMIST Group's valuation.
01:05:59$100 billion.
01:06:00I don't just control
01:06:01one-third of the
01:06:02top-tier supply gen.
01:06:03I also have the
01:06:04industry medal
01:06:05personally awarded
01:06:05by the World Trade Organization.
01:06:07I wasn't showing them money,
01:06:08but absolute dominance.
01:06:10In this world,
01:06:10capital speaks,
01:06:11and the highest level of capital,
01:06:12it makes people kneel.
01:06:14Percy thought he was
01:06:15running a business.
01:06:16Me?
01:06:16I'm running an era.
01:06:17When I spread out
01:06:18these reports enough
01:06:18to buy half of New York,
01:06:20his pathetic little assets
01:06:21wouldn't even be enough
01:06:21to pay my taxes.
01:06:23One-
01:06:23$100 billion?
01:06:25Grayson,
01:06:26you did this in just one year?
01:06:28Please, Mr. Grayson,
01:06:29take your place
01:06:30as the head of the family.
01:06:31That's mine!
01:06:32That was supposed to be mine!
01:06:34Grayson,
01:06:35what right do you have,
01:06:36you lowly line cook?
01:06:37Percy,
01:06:38take a good look.
01:06:39In this world,
01:06:40the strong make the rules.
01:06:42The weak
01:06:43just wait to die.
01:06:45I stand at the summit,
01:06:46looking down at him.
01:06:47He once wanted me to kneel.
01:06:49Now,
01:06:50he wasn't even worthy
01:06:51to lift his head
01:06:52and look at me.
01:07:00Thorn Percy,
01:07:01from this moment on,
01:07:02you no longer carry
01:07:03the Thorn name.
01:07:04You are out of this family.
01:07:06No!
01:07:06You can't tear it!
01:07:08I am a Thorn!
01:07:08I have Thorn blood
01:07:09running through my veins!
01:07:11Without the family,
01:07:11the creditors would tear
01:07:12Percy to pieces.
01:07:13I knew that.
01:07:14And I didn't help him.
01:07:15Percy,
01:07:16the moment you stole
01:07:17mum and dad's pension,
01:07:18you had no blood relation left.
01:07:19I watched that page
01:07:20get consumed by the flames,
01:07:21turning to ash.
01:07:22In Thorn family tradition,
01:07:23being expelled means social death.
01:07:25From now on,
01:07:25he is no one's son,
01:07:26no one's brother.
01:07:27As a nameless nobody
01:07:28in the filthiest sewers,
01:07:29he will pay back
01:07:29every blood bet he owed.
01:07:31I want you to live
01:07:33as a man with no name.
01:07:35Grayson!
01:07:37You bastard!
01:07:38Without my $100,000,
01:07:40you'd still be
01:07:41a cockroach in the gutter!
01:07:42A pathetic,
01:07:44lowly line cook!
01:07:53From this day forward,
01:07:55the Thorn family
01:07:55has no Percy.
01:07:56I looked up
01:07:57at the skyscrapers
01:07:58in the distance.
01:08:06No money.
01:08:07Then pay with your life.
01:08:09The Thorn family
01:08:11has already thrown you
01:08:12away like garbage.
01:08:13Right now,
01:08:14you're worse than
01:08:15the rats this alley.
01:08:19Please,
01:08:20just give me one more day.
01:08:22Just one day.
01:08:23Grayson has money.
01:08:24He has hundreds
01:08:25of billions.
01:08:27He could pluck
01:08:28a hair off his body
01:08:29and it would be enough
01:08:29to pay you all back.
01:08:35In Manhattan,
01:08:35the highest form
01:08:36of rejection
01:08:36isn't insults.
01:08:38It's silence.
01:08:39Right now,
01:08:40I'm sitting within
01:08:40arm rage of him,
01:08:41but I can't even be bothered
01:08:43to lift a finger.
01:08:44The moment he stole
01:08:45our parents' last bit
01:08:46of survival money,
01:08:46he lost even the right
01:08:47to die inside my thoughts.
01:08:49Grayson!
01:08:50My good little brother!
01:08:52Save me!
01:08:53They want my organs!
01:08:54They're going to chop me up
01:08:55and feed me to the fish!
01:08:56Give me a million!
01:08:57No,
01:08:57five hundred thousand,
01:08:58just that much!
01:09:15Percy used to say
01:09:16that money was the only
01:09:17true faith in this world.
01:09:19Since he loves money so much,
01:09:21I'll let him feel
01:09:22what it's like
01:09:22when that money becomes
01:09:23a pile of stones
01:09:24crushing his spine.
01:09:33Percy!
01:09:34This is the money
01:09:35you owe us!
01:09:36The price of our sweat!
01:09:37Our blood!
01:09:38Take these bills
01:09:39and crawl back
01:09:40to your hell!
01:09:48Money!
01:09:49My money!
01:09:51Grayson,
01:09:52you finally gave me money!
01:09:53I win!
01:09:55Percy,
01:09:55take a good look.
01:09:56The thing you treat
01:09:57as your religion,
01:09:58to me,
01:09:59is just spare change
01:10:01for trash.
01:10:04I used to be a line cook
01:10:05worth only $2,000.
01:10:07Now I've made him understand.
01:10:09In front of absolute skill
01:10:11and absolute rules,
01:10:12all a greedy man
01:10:13will ever get
01:10:14is a pile of worthless paper.
01:10:27Listen up, everyone.
01:10:29From today on,
01:10:30there's only one standard
01:10:31on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:10:33The Sea Mist
01:10:34Ethical Chef Standard.
01:10:37Any chef who makes it
01:10:39onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:10:40I will personally vouch
01:10:41for their professional integrity.
01:10:42In return,
01:10:43Sea Mist guarantees
01:10:44their salary will double.
01:10:45But if anyone dares
01:10:46to put even one gram
01:10:47of dirty ingredients
01:10:47into their food,
01:10:48I promise you,
01:10:49they will never have the chance
01:10:50to pick up a pair
01:10:51of chopsticks again.
01:10:55Grayson,
01:10:56you're absolutely right.
01:10:57Now that you've laid down
01:10:58the rules,
01:10:59none of us would dare
01:10:59to think otherwise.
01:11:01We'll do everything
01:11:02according to Sea Mist rules.
01:11:12Joss,
01:11:13Grayson asked me
01:11:14to tell you something.
01:11:16Since you loved
01:11:17helping Percy handle
01:11:18all that rotten,
01:11:18dirty meat
01:11:19back in the day,
01:11:21you can take on
01:11:22the dirtiest,
01:11:23most disgusting jobs
01:11:24all by yourself
01:11:25for the rest of your life.
01:11:27Grayson!
01:11:29I really know
01:11:30I was wrong.
01:11:31I was just
01:11:32following orders.
01:11:34Please,
01:11:35let me go back
01:11:36to cutting vegetables.
01:11:38I don't even need money.
01:11:40Just let me back
01:11:41into a kitchen.
01:11:46Go back
01:11:47to cutting vegetables?
01:11:48Joss,
01:11:49you're way too naive.
01:11:49You've been blacklisted
01:11:51by the entire restaurant,
01:11:52industry.
01:11:53No!
01:12:04New York
01:12:05is just the beginning.
01:12:11Grayson,
01:12:12look how soundly
01:12:12the baby is sleeping.
01:12:14He's going to inherit
01:12:16everything I've built.
01:12:24Try this.
01:12:30I've given Mia
01:12:31the most precious
01:12:32love in the world
01:12:34because she was there
01:12:35for me when the road
01:12:36was darkest.
01:12:38This single piece
01:12:39of satimi
01:12:39is worth a fortune,
01:12:41but it still can't compare
01:12:43to the hug
01:12:43she gave me back then.
01:12:45That was mine.
01:12:46That should have
01:12:47been my spot.
01:12:49Leo,
01:12:51the flies outside
01:12:52are too noisy.
01:12:53Clean them up.
01:12:58On opposite sides
01:12:59of a fence,
01:13:01worlds apart.
01:13:13Grayson,
01:13:13I knew it.
01:13:14I knew you would
01:13:15come back.
01:13:16Professor,
01:13:17if it weren't
01:13:18for that hard bread
01:13:19you gave me back then,
01:13:20I wouldn't have made it
01:13:20until Sea Mist opened.
01:13:22On behalf of the
01:13:23Sea Mist group,
01:13:23I am donating
01:13:24$10 billion.
01:13:25Not just for the school,
01:13:27but to honor
01:13:27Professor Smith's
01:13:28craftsmanship.
01:13:31Grayson,
01:13:32does the Research Institute
01:13:33need any logistics staff?
01:13:34We haven't been doing well
01:13:35these past few years.
01:13:36For old times' sake,
01:13:37I remember you.
01:13:38You said back then
01:13:39that I was only fit
01:13:40to clean your toilets.
01:13:41That was a joke.
01:13:42Grayson,
01:13:43we'd take any job,
01:13:44even a janitor
01:13:45at the Research Institute.
01:13:47Tell HR every single position
01:13:48at the Research Institute
01:13:49from security to cleaning staff
01:13:50to the guys mowing the lawn
01:13:51I have to interview them personally.
01:13:53I watched the fear
01:13:54and greed in their eyes
01:13:55and I felt nothing.
01:13:56Class,
01:13:56it used to be their weapon
01:13:58for bullying me.
01:13:59Now,
01:13:59it's my shackles
01:14:00for judging them.
01:14:07Sir,
01:14:07I used to run a restaurant.
01:14:09I know a lot
01:14:10about trash sorting.
01:14:11Please,
01:14:11just give me a job
01:14:13so I can eat.
01:14:13Alert.
01:14:14Blacklisted individual detected.
01:14:15Pershing.
01:14:16Permission level
01:14:17permanently banned.
01:14:21Get lost!
01:14:22Every single
01:14:23business under sea mist,
01:14:25even our trash dump,
01:14:26won't take scum like you.
01:14:32Grayson!
01:14:33You can't do this to me!
01:14:35I'm your own brother!
01:14:37I bought up
01:14:38all the trash processing rights
01:14:39in Manhattan,
01:14:40not just for the monopoly,
01:14:41but to make sure
01:14:42certain scumbags
01:14:43have nowhere left
01:14:44to hide in this city.
01:14:45He once said
01:14:46I was a line cook
01:14:46who could be replaced
01:14:47by any homeless guy
01:14:48off the street.
01:14:49Now,
01:14:50he doesn't even qualify
01:14:51to be a sorter.
01:14:52The AI recognition
01:14:53system upgrade looks good.
01:14:55Give the tech department
01:14:56a bonus.
01:14:58The struggles of a clown
01:14:59like this aren't even
01:15:00worth a second
01:15:00of my anger anymore.
01:15:02His misery is just
01:15:03background noise
01:15:04on my way to the top.
01:15:18In the old era
01:15:18of the food industry,
01:15:19the exploiters believed
01:15:20that as long as they
01:15:21controlled the capital,
01:15:22they could run over skill
01:15:22and destroy a chef's soul.
01:15:24But the rise of sea mist
01:15:25is here to tell everyone
01:15:26in this room,
01:15:27I am rewriting the rules.
01:15:28The exploiters will eventually
01:15:29be abandoned by the times,
01:15:30but the craftsmen
01:15:31who protect the soul,
01:15:32they will be crowned kings.
01:15:33I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:15:35I was declaring war
01:15:36on this cold-blooded
01:15:37world of capital.
01:15:38A year ago,
01:15:39they were Percy's guests
01:15:39of honor,
01:15:40laughing as I got thrown
01:15:41out on my ass.
01:15:42Today,
01:15:43with sea mist standards,
01:15:44I've put a shackle
01:15:45called conscience
01:15:46around every single
01:15:47one of their necks.
01:15:48Grayson,
01:15:49sea mist groups' valuation
01:15:50can no longer be measured
01:15:50by money.
01:15:51What is your next goal?
01:15:52My goal is to make sure
01:15:52there is no more soil
01:15:53in this world
01:15:54for a cancer like Percy to grow.
01:15:55I saw it
01:15:55in the eyes of those tycoons
01:15:57who once seemed untouchable,
01:15:59a fear they've never felt before.
01:16:01The underdog's rise
01:16:02isn't a myth.
01:16:03It's the judgment
01:16:03I wrote with my own hands.
01:16:08Grayson!
01:16:09I'm cooperating.
01:16:10I'll tell you everything.
01:16:10Three months ago,
01:16:11that maniac Percy
01:16:12bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:16:13He took high concentration,
01:16:14harmful chemicals.
01:16:16Make it clear.
01:16:17He wants to destroy sea mist's air.
01:16:19He's planning to put
01:16:20harmful substances
01:16:21in that batch
01:16:21of special supply milk powder.
01:16:23I thought stripping him
01:16:24of his name
01:16:24and letting him rot
01:16:25in the gutter
01:16:25like a rat
01:16:26was my final act of mercy.
01:16:27But I underestimated
01:16:29how vicious a mad dog can be.
01:16:31He dared to reach
01:16:32his filthy hands
01:16:33towards my child.
01:16:34Leo,
01:16:35go take care of something.
01:16:36Please give your orders,
01:16:37Mr. Grayson.
01:16:38Mobilize the global legal team.
01:16:40Yes, sir.
01:16:40I want Percy
01:16:41to spend the rest of his life
01:16:42in the coldest,
01:16:42darkest prison cell
01:16:43they can find.
01:16:44Tell the warden,
01:16:45I don't want him dead.
01:16:46I want him to accidentally
01:16:47live to be 100
01:16:47every single day,
01:16:48surrounded by sickness
01:16:49and the torture
01:16:50of those creditors.
01:16:51Watching the glory
01:16:51of my sea mist restaurant
01:16:53shine in the sunlight,
01:16:54blinding him
01:16:54from behind those bars.
01:16:56Since he doesn't
01:16:57want to be human,
01:16:57I'll send him to real hell.
01:16:58I want him to live
01:16:59in endless regret
01:17:00of dying flame
01:17:01in the depths of hell.
01:17:05Defendant Percy,
01:17:06on multiple counts,
01:17:08including food safety violations,
01:17:09attempted harm,
01:17:10malicious tempering,
01:17:11and massive fraud,
01:17:12you are hereby sentenced
01:17:13to life in prison
01:17:14without parole.
01:17:15No!
01:17:16I won't accept this!
01:17:17Grayson, you devil!
01:17:19You manipulated everything!
01:17:20A year ago,
01:17:21I begged him in the rain
01:17:22to leave mom and dad
01:17:23some money for their
01:17:23medical bees.
01:17:24He tore my dignity
01:17:25to shreds in public,
01:17:26and now he wants
01:17:27to talk about blood?
01:17:28The moment he reached
01:17:29for mom and dad's pension,
01:17:30the moment he reached
01:17:31for my baby's milk powder,
01:17:33he cut that vein
01:17:34with his own hands.
01:17:38Grayson,
01:17:39all that mess in Manhattan,
01:17:42it's finally over.
01:17:44We were blind back then.
01:17:46It was our fault.
01:17:48Mom, it's all in the past.
01:17:50I watched the relieved smiles
01:17:51on my parents' faces.
01:17:53Finally, they were free
01:17:55from that nightmare.
01:17:57Percy is counting lice
01:17:59in a cold prison cell.
01:18:01And my family?
01:18:03We're standing in the sunlight.
01:18:06He rewrote how this industry
01:18:08exploits people.
01:18:09He protected the soul
01:18:10of ingredients.
01:18:11Now let us welcome
01:18:12the world's top culinary leader,
01:18:14Grayson!
01:18:18Today, this trophy
01:18:19doesn't belong to me alone.
01:18:20It belongs to everyone.
01:18:22I'm not standing here
01:18:22to enjoy some empty fame.
01:18:24I'm here to issue
01:18:24the new C-MIST decree.
01:18:26These people,
01:18:26they were once exploited
01:18:27by Percy at Iron Mocker.
01:18:28I announced that C-MIST group
01:18:30will set up a $1 billion
01:18:31support fund.
01:18:32Every front-line employee
01:18:33who suffered exploitation,
01:18:34as long as you pass
01:18:35the assessment,
01:18:36C-MIST will grant you
01:18:37the right to open
01:18:37a franchise free mail.
01:18:39This is what a real slap
01:18:41in the face looks like.
01:18:42I'm going to make
01:18:43Percy watch on TV.
01:18:44All those people
01:18:45he called homeless bums
01:18:46are becoming millionaires
01:18:47under my wing.
01:18:48And him?
01:18:49He can't even afford
01:18:50a roll of toilet paper.
01:18:54Grayson, two-thirds
01:18:55of the Michelin restaurants
01:18:56around the world
01:18:56have already applied
01:18:57to join the C-MIST
01:18:58certification standard.
01:19:02Then let them wait in line.
01:19:04We make the rules.
01:19:08One year ago,
01:19:09I was at the other end
01:19:09of this city
01:19:10holding only $10,000
01:19:11the money I'd bled for.
01:19:12Now,
01:19:13this building beneath my feet,
01:19:14plus thousands of branches
01:19:15around the world,
01:19:16my net worth
01:19:16has exceeded $100 billion.
01:19:18And this Manhattan
01:19:19reeking of money,
01:19:20I use the most humble skills
01:19:21to level every injustice.
01:19:24What are you thinking about?
01:19:28I'm thinking
01:19:28that poor kid
01:19:30who rented that $500 dump
01:19:31had pretty good taste.
01:19:35That was the best investment
01:19:36in the world.
01:19:37The name Percy
01:19:38has been burned to ash
01:19:38from the family tree
01:19:39and erased
01:19:40from this city's history.
01:19:41From now on,
01:19:42no more iron anchor
01:19:43in Manhattan,
01:19:44only C-MIST.
01:19:44Survival of the fittest
01:19:45was the old rule.
01:19:46My rule?
01:19:47Let the ones with soul
01:19:48rise to the top.
01:19:49I'm Grayson.
01:19:50The C-MIST era
01:19:51never ends.
01:19:52The C-MIST era
01:19:54a cellar
01:19:54when you go out
01:19:55of the nature
01:19:55and you're
01:19:55The C-MIST
