00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago.
00:00:03Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million in one year.
00:00:07But me? He gave me only 100 grand.
00:00:09A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a month.
00:00:13I gave you 100 grand, and only because you're my brother.
00:00:18I took it with a smile.
00:00:20Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from his.
00:00:25I started my own place.
00:00:27The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped.
00:00:31He smashed his own car hood.
00:00:33He 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.
00:00:45$2,000 a month.
00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared 6 mil.
00:00:53Here's your share.
00:00:59I took it and counted.
00:01:00Only 100,000.
00:01:01Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.
00:01:04I put up the money for this restaurant.
00:01:05I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:08You're just a line cook.
00:01:10Any bum off the street could do your job.
00:01:12If you weren't my brother, you 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.
00:01:24Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you about my restaurant.
00:01:29Thank you for providing such high-quality ingredients.
00:01:32You really helped us solve a big problem.
00:01:36I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what customers really want.
00:01:41Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm calling the cops.
00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.
00:01:50And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle and camps out in front of his live stream.
00:01:55Five people, always the same five, making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.
00:02:05Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:08I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.
00:02:11Thanks.
00:02:12I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.
00:02:16The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.
00:02:19The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.
00:02:21Your 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.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:32See you in three days.
00:02:34Good boy.
00:02:35I didn't say a word.
00:02:36Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.
00:02:44And me.
00:02:45I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street.
00:02:49The one that couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up.
00:02:52Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.
00:02:56Percy thought it was a dump.
00:02:57A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.
00:03:05Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.
00:03:07Nobody survives a cross from Iron Anchor.
00:03:09You absolutely sure?
00:03:10I'm sure.
00:03:11I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.
00:03:16Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:19What Percy didn't realize.
00:03:20That award in three days.
00:03:22It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:26This rundown shop was hidden away.
00:03:29Filthy.
00:03:30Pitch.
00:03:31Dark.
00:03:31Thick layers of grease covered everything.
00:03:34I didn't complain.
00:03:35Though, inside, I was actually pumped.
00:03:39Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump across the street again.
00:03:43He got out of his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it, laughing so hard he could
00:03:49barely stand.
00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot.
00:03:55I gave you $100,000, and you blow it on this rat hole?
00:04:00Don't you have any idea how good a life a hundred grand could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him.
00:04:04Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.
00:04:07Even pulled out his phone and went live, making exaggerated faces at the camera.
00:04:12Look at this, folks.
00:04:13Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.
00:04:16This place is so disgusting.
00:04:17I swear, even a rat wouldn't come near it.
00:04:20Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.
00:04:24Grayson, I'm your older brother.
00:04:27I have to take care of you.
00:04:29You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.
00:04:31I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that kind of job is.
00:04:37After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.
00:04:41He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:46But one thing he would never understand.
00:04:49A restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:51And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already three in the morning when I got home.
00:05:00The light was still on.
00:05:01I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt.
00:05:04My face exhausted.
00:05:05I panicked.
00:05:07I didn't want my family to 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?
00:05:18Why are you so late?
00:05:19Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.
00:05:21I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:25Mia looked uneasy.
00:05:27She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:30I saw the news.
00:05:31The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.
00:05:35The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.
00:05:39Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:05:42Did he give you any of it?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:45He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:47Only a hundred grand?
00:05:48The news said the place cleared six million.
00:05:51That's not fair.
00:05:53You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.
00:05:56At least half of the credit is yours.
00:05:59How 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.
00:06:06Why are you still working for him?
00:06:10I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:06:14I support whatever decision you make.
00:06:20Here's twenty grand.
00:06:22Go all in, Grayson.
00:06:24The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:27I won't let you down.
00:06:29I swear.
00:06:30The Industry Benchmark Restaurant Awards were in two days.
00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:36What if I let Mia down?
00:06:38The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.
00:06:42I 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.
00:06:49Or just a stupid decision made out of anger.
00:06:51I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years.
00:06:54And sat down at the desk.
00:06:56It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.
00:06:59I've recorded including the mayor's.
00:07:01I once sat in a high-end restaurant.
00:07:03And carefully watched how he ate.
00:07:04What he left on his plate.
00:07:06This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:07:10Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:14What did you say?
00:07:15Sea Mist Restaurant?
00:07:17Passed 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.
00:07:27I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:07:30He'd always seen my potential.
00:07:31And the moment he heard I was opening my own place, he cut ties with Percy on the spot and
00:07:35said yes.
00:07:35You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:07:41All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:08:07The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:08:13I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:08:17And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:08:20I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:08:25Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:08:28He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:08:30Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.
00:08:32And at an event like this, his little brother, the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from
00:08:37Iron Anchor, would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:08:41I'll be there on time.
00:08:44Here's ten bucks.
00:08:46Go park my car for me.
00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.
00:08:55Percy was so sure of it that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:09:00But he overlooked me.
00:09:01A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:09:04Insignificant.
00:09:05Obedient.
00:09:06Beneath notice.
00:09:08When I got home, I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.
00:09:12I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:09:15No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.
00:09:19Can't you see?
00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work, and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:25Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:09:28If 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.
00:09:38Fine.
00:09:40I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:47He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up, his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:54Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all.
00:10:00This is my brother, Grayson.
00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor and thinks he's going
00:10:06to compete with me.
00:10:07Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:09All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:10:12Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:18You know what Percy nets a year?
00:10:20Six million dollars.
00:10:22You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.
00:10:25You really should just stick with your brother.
00:10:27That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.
00:10:31Don't mind them, Grayson.
00:10:32What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough.
00:10:39You're all way out of line.
00:10:41The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:46Grayson, control your wife.
00:10:47This isn't the place for a scene.
00:10:49Easy, Mia.
00:10:50I'm fine.
00:10:59Here's my card.
00:11:00You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief.
00:11:05He 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.
00:11:11Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:13No one took it.
00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?
00:11:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:20I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:22I swear.
00:11:24One day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:32These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:34Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:38I could see right through it.
00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before.
00:11:43But the ingredients had changed.
00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money.
00:11:48But he doesn't understand his customers.
00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:53Without my notebook, that records every customer's preferences.
00:11:56He can never make the perfect dish.
00:11:59At the table, the guests could already tell something was off with the food.
00:12:03But because they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to ignore it.
00:12:07The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry.
00:12:11Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year.
00:12:15How much money he'd made.
00:12:16Mia was so upset, she couldn't even eat.
00:12:19The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.
00:12:21But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:23He brought me up again.
00:12:25Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still come back.
00:12:31I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs.
00:12:35But you are my little brother after all.
00:12:38Percy, you're such a good man.
00:12:41Your brother has a death wish opening a restaurant right across from you,
00:12:44and you're still looking out for him.
00:12:47Of course.
00:12:49What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?
00:12:52Without Percy, he's nothing.
00:12:56I was furious.
00:12:58All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.
00:13:00No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:13:03Percy was soaking up the praise.
00:13:06Laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.
00:13:08And 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.
00:13:16I raised my glass, a calm smile on my face.
00:13:19You're alright.
00:13:20Everything I do I learn from Percy, my respected big brother.
00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute.
00:13:28Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:36Even though you had the nerve to leave me, I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:40And 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.
00:13:52I knew my chance had come.
00:13:57A year ago, I went through hell to land the supplier with the highest food safety rating.
00:14:02Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:08And now that top-tier supplier belongs to me.
00:14:11The 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.
00:14:35The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:42Grayson, you just stand aside and watch.
00:14:44Even for a line cook, you've still got a lot to learn.
00:14:47Percy didn't care about my skills.
00:14:51He asked me to come to the kitchen only to humiliate me with the new hire.
00:14:55To prove I was good for nothing.
00:14:58But he had no idea how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.
00:15:02Without real knife skills, you can't handle it properly.
00:15:06Especially a piece of cheap, low-quality tuna like this.
00:15:10Percy!
00:15:12You're going to regret everything you've done today.
00:15:14I swear it.
00:15:16I'm just trying to make my little brother better.
00:15:18Otherwise, how is he going to support you and the baby in 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.
00:15:37Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:41That is right.
00:15:42After today, one of us is going to take over the world.
00:15:46And the other is going to fade into obscurity.
00:15:48I watched very carefully.
00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning.
00:15:52And he even took the time to explain things to me.
00:15:54I smiled.
00:15:55With such lousy technique, that Blue Fied Tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile of ruined
00:16:00meat in his hands.
00:16:02And the mayor.
00:16:04He hates nothing more than being handed low-quality.
00:16:07Butchered tuna.
00:16:08Like it is no big deal.
00:16:13Percy was in the dining room, chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world.
00:16:17He had no idea.
00:16:19His restaurant was heading straight to hell.
00:16:21Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter.
00:16:24Meanwhile, the highest quality Blue Fied 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.
00:16:38The mayor is here.
00:16:39Today 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.
00:16:59Only good for the dirty work in the back.
00:17:00He recently opened some dump called Sea Mist right 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.
00:17:16Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.
00:17:20Mr. Mayor, here's my card.
00:17:22I'm good at making otoyu sushi.
00:17:24Are you crazy?
00:17:26A little place that can't even fit two people in the bathroom, and you think you can hand the mayor
00:17:30your business card?
00:17:31My restaurant is spotless, and my ingredients are the best.
00:17:36I don't think square footage determines quality.
00:17:39Grayson, stop embarrassing yourself here.
00:17:45Young man, you have something those greedy businessmen don't.
00:17:49You're calm.
00:17:50I like that.
00:17:52The mayor sure has a sense of humor.
00:17:55He'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.
00:18:04Stop any of your pathetic delusions.
00:18:14Please take a seat.
00:18:26Mr. Mayor, this is our signature dish, otoro sushi.
00:18:30I promise you'll love it.
00:18:34Iron Anchor's otoro sushi is one of a kind, Mr. Mayor.
00:18:37I guarantee you'll fall for it.
00:18:39The knife work, the technique, absolutely flawless.
00:18:43In the past, the otoro 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, what the hell is that garbage?
00:19:23At that same moment, the otoro sushi I prepared was being carefully packed up
00:19:28and was already on its way.
00:19:30We are about to serve the very first dish from Seamist Restaurant.
00:19:36Everyone, stay sharp.
00:19:39Yes!
00:19:41Yes!
00:19:41Yes!
00:19:43Yes!
00:19:52Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.
00:19:55Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.
00:19:58His smile vanished.
00:20:00Guests gagged.
00:20:00The mayor slammed his fork down on the table in fury.
00:20:03Percy!
00:20:03This is the signature dish you've been bragging about?
00:20:05Open your damn eyes!
00:20:06Is this meant for humans?
00:20:07I held Mia close and watched.
00:20:09Cold.
00:20:10Percy's face went pale.
00:20:12Cold sweat dripped from his temples down into his collar.
00:20:14But he wasn't done.
00:20:15He fell back on his pathetic sales pitch, desperate to cover up the rot.
00:20:19No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:20:21This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.
00:20:25Advanced aging.
00:20:26No, he just served the mayor cheap.
00:20:29Old meat to cut costs.
00:20:30The live stream was going wild.
00:20:33The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.
00:20:36Fine.
00:20:36You're so confident in this process?
00:20:38Then don't waste it.
00:20:39Bring it to him.
00:20:40Eat it, Percy.
00:20:41Every last piece.
00:20:42Right now.
00:20:43No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:44You're resisting so hard.
00:20:45Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:20:48No!
00:20:49Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:51The security guard stepped forward.
00:20:53The 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
00:21:01a pathetic stray dog.
00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away.
00:21:06Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.
00:21:09The mayor's fury was just the beginning.
00:21:11The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.
00:21:19This is the pride of Surla Street?
00:21:21The face of our state's restaurant industry?
00:21:24Percy, you didn't just insult me.
00:21:26You insult the entire food safety laws of this city.
00:21:29Mr. Mayor, I swear on my life.
00:21:31The sushi is fine.
00:21:32I just drank too much last night.
00:21:33It's my stomach.
00:21:34It's upset.
00:21:34Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:39No one knew better than me.
00:21:40Eating rotten bluefin tuna would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:43Soon, Percy showed all the signs.
00:21:45The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go help him.
00:21:57And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream
00:22:03in the entire city.
00:22:05Percy 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 over.
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 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?!
00:22:57Banned it.
00:22:58That's what it was.
00:22:58The money went to the cars.
00:23:00The fancy front.
00:23:01But 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.
00:23:06I 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, then I will shut down every single restaurant
00:23:23on 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, they would lose countless future business deals.
00:23:31Percy, you animal!
00:23:32You want to serve trash?
00:23:33Fine!
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 in a second.
00:23:57Percy panicked.
00:23:59Iron Anchor was facing closure.
00:24:00And me, his worthless little brother, bringing in a chef with the very same cut of fish.
00:24:05Grayson, what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:24:07Mr. Mayor, before you give up on this street, please 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!
00:24:21I'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, she hauled off and slapped Percy right across the face.
00:24:28Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face, you arrogant jerk!
00:24:33Three minutes ago, you were serving the mayor garbage.
00:24:35Whatever my husband has in that box is 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 restrain Percy, then 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.
00:25:09Wait!
00:25:10C-Mist shouldn't even be in the running!
00:25:12Everyone knows that place is a dump!
00:25:13Full of grease and rats!
00:25:15It doesn't even meet basic health and safety standards!
00:25:17Percy looked at me with that smug expression,
00:25:19like he'd finally cornered the clown.
00:25:21Too bad.
00:25:22This time, the joke was on him.
00:25:25Save the pity, Grayson.
00:25:26I know you tried really hard to steal first place from me.
00:25:29Too bad.
00:25:30Trying isn't enough.
00:25:31You'll never surpass me, little brother.
00:25:34Mr. Mayor.
00:25:35It would be my honor to lead the way and show everyone this garbage-dimp Grayson calls a restaurant.
00:25:43That place has been closed for ages.
00:25:44I heard the last owner was so bitter.
00:25:46He poured cooking oil all over the floors on his way out.
00:25:49You can't even walk in there.
00:25:50That's right.
00:25:51And he left all kinds of expired food in there, too.
00:25:53It's probably a full-blown rat kingdom by now.
00:25:55What right does a dump like that have to call itself a restaurant?
00:25:58What do we do?
00:26:00Mr. Mayor, and everyone here,
00:26:03as the owner of C-Mist Restaurant,
00:26:05I invite you all to come see it for yourselves.
00:26:07You idiot.
00:26:09Get ready to watch your precious restaurant get shut down.
00:26:12My dear fans,
00:26:13I'm about to show you the most chaotic,
00:26:16filthiest garbage dump on Surla Street.
00:26:19You cannot imagine how absolutely disgusting that place is.
00:26:26Percy, lying has consequences.
00:26:29It's totally fake.
00:26:30I guarantee you behind this door,
00:26:31it's nothing but trash and stink.
00:26:33Brace me.
00:26:34Just wait and see.
00:26:35Percy's smug smile kept growing.
00:26:37But all of that was about to come to a screeching halt
00:26:39the second I opened that door.
00:26:46This is impossible.
00:26:48Oh my God!
00:26:49In just a few days,
00:26:50that dump has completely changed.
00:26:53It's so clean and tidy.
00:26:54Way more pleasant to look at
00:26:56than Iron Anchor's tacky, flashy decorations.
00:27:03Grayson.
00:27:04Grayson.
00:27:04Your taste is just as impressive as your food.
00:27:13Man.
00:27:14This place is cleaner than an operating room.
00:27:17I worked around the clock,
00:27:18kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:27:19scrubbing every single crack with a brush.
00:27:22Percy spent his money on those gaudy chandeliers
00:27:24that blind you.
00:27:25I spent mine on every little detail you can touch.
00:27:27This is all just for show!
00:27:28You can fake the decor,
00:27:30but you can't fake the ingredients!
00:27:34Grayson, you're broke.
00:27:35Your monthly rent is 500 bucks.
00:28:06How can you afford pop-grade blue-fit tuna?
00:28:07Percy, take a good look.
00:28:08This is what you call garbage.
00:28:10No!
00:28:11You must have injected poison into these rotten fish!
00:28:13Sprayed them with chemicals!
00:28:14Who the hell is insulting my fish?!
00:28:21You are...
00:28:21I worked with Iron Anchor for a whole year.
00:28:24Not once did you bother to remember my name.
00:28:26Percy, you're an absolute idiot.
00:28:30You're Iron Anchor's biggest supplier from this past year!
00:28:33You traitor!
00:28:34You're the traitor!
00:28:35And premium ingredients should go to people
00:28:38who actually appreciate them!
00:28:41Mr. Mayor, I'm the largest seafood distributor in California.
00:28:44I hereby certify that all ingredients used by Seamist Restaurant
00:28:47are exclusively supplied through my special channel
00:28:50with the highest A-level safety rating.
00:28:52Mr. Grayson is the most knowledgeable person
00:28:55about ingredients I've ever met.
00:28:57That's why I ended all my contracts with Iron Anchor for him.
00:29:01Are you insane?!
00:29:02I give you millions of dollars a year!
00:29:04What about him?
00:29:05All he got was the lousy hundred grand I threw at him!
00:29:08After lashing out at the supplier,
00:29:10Percy turned his rage back on me.
00:29:12Grayson!
00:29:13You ungrateful snake!
00:29:15You took the hundred grand I gave you
00:29:17and used it to steal my supplier and become my enemy?!
00:29:20Don't you have any family loyalty at all?!
00:29:22Percy.
00:29:25Percy.
00:29:26Out of that hundred grand,
00:29:28ninety thousand was purchasing money I fronted for you.
00:29:33The remaining ten thousand
00:29:34was what you paid me for three years of working my ass off day and night.
00:29:40You thought you could buy my dignity.
00:29:42I'm taking it back with my own hands.
00:29:44We're even.
00:29:45And don't forget,
00:29:46this supplier was mine from the very beginning.
00:29:49Percy's eyes went unfocused.
00:29:50It looked like he was finally remembering how hard I worked a year ago,
00:29:54visiting supplier after supplier,
00:29:56screening through thousands of them to find this one.
00:29:59Percy wanted to keep arguing,
00:30:00but fate wasn't going to give him any more chances.
00:30:04Mr. Mayor,
00:30:05it's not just the ingredients.
00:30:06The entire interior of Iron Anchor is built with the cheapest,
00:30:08most flammable formalhyde-laden boards just painted over with a layer of gold.
00:30:11Iron Anchor is basically a poison gas chamber that would explode the second it touches fire.
00:30:18That's disgusting.
00:30:20All for show.
00:30:21Percy,
00:30:22get out of the restaurant industry.
00:30:25Mr. Mayor,
00:30:26I was wrong.
00:30:27I just wanted the restaurant to look better.
00:30:29You risked people's lives just to look good?
00:30:32Percy's tears rolled down his fake,
00:30:35lying face.
00:30:36He used to throw money in front of me
00:30:37and call me a country bumpin' who'd never seen the world.
00:30:40And now,
00:30:41that live-streaming empire he'd so carefully built
00:30:44was collapsing inch by inch in front of a global audience.
00:30:47I hereby declare,
00:30:49Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:30:51the industry benchmark restaurant for this year.
00:30:55Effective immediately,
00:30:56Iron Anchor's business license is permanently revoked.
00:31:00All assets are to be seized.
00:31:02Percy is under official investigation for food safety crimes
00:31:06and commercial fraud.
00:31:09Now,
00:31:09throw this cockroach out of here.
00:31:19Grayson!
00:31:20Save me!
00:31:21You're my own little brother.
00:31:22Your restaurant is right across the street.
00:31:24You can fix this.
00:31:25You have to.
00:31:26I gave him a year.
00:31:27A whole year.
00:31:29But all he ever learned was how to put on a show for his live screen.
00:31:32Grayson!
00:31:35Grayson,
00:31:35I'm begging you.
00:31:36You're tight with the mayor.
00:31:37Please put in a good word for me.
00:31:38You can't let them close my place.
00:31:40That's everything I've got.
00:31:41Everything you've got,
00:31:42Percy?
00:31:43You call rotten meat and fake gold paint everything you've got?
00:31:46Just don't shut me down.
00:31:47I'll do anything you want.
00:31:48I'll give you all the shares.
00:31:50You come back and be the boss.
00:31:51I'll work for you.
00:31:52I'll be your line cook.
00:31:53Percy,
00:31:54do you remember how you humiliated Grayson?
00:31:56You said he was only worth 2,000 bucks.
00:31:58You said a homeless guy off the street could replace him.
00:32:01A year ago,
00:32:02I begged him in the pouring rain just like this
00:32:05to pay the supplier what he owed.
00:32:07He rolled down his car window,
00:32:09blew smoke in my face,
00:32:10and told me I didn't understand business.
00:32:13Percy,
00:32:13your biggest mistake wasn't greed.
00:32:15It was that you never learned to respect food.
00:32:17Someone who can make the finest fish smell like death
00:32:20has no place in a kitchen.
00:32:23You're really going to just let me die?
00:32:24For old time's sake,
00:32:26since you want to be a line cook so bad,
00:32:28Sea Mist just happens to be looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.
00:32:312,000 a month.
00:32:32And the only reason I'm even offering it to you
00:32:34is out of respect for you being my big brother.
00:32:40Mr. Grayson,
00:32:41I'm officially transferring my $5 million annual banquet booking
00:32:44to Sea Mist Restaurant.
00:32:45Name your price.
00:32:45Just make sure that Oto Sushi shows up at my event.
00:32:48Grayson,
00:32:48this is a long-term letter of intent
00:32:50from the Manhattan Restaurant Association.
00:32:52We're willing to pay a 50% premium
00:32:53as long as Sea Mist agrees to be our partner.
00:32:55Three hours ago,
00:32:56these same people watched Percy humiliate me in front of everyone.
00:32:59They laughed at me,
00:32:59a lowly line cook who didn't know his place.
00:33:01Now,
00:33:02they're willing to pay double
00:33:02just to beg me for a partnership.
00:33:04Sea Mist will only sign with one partner in the next year.
00:33:07That spot,
00:33:08you'll have to fight for it yourselves.
00:33:10I have the strongest capital.
00:33:12That spot belongs to me.
00:33:13What can you offer besides money?
00:33:15I can provide the biggest advertising and sales channels.
00:33:18Get lost.
00:33:18This opportunity is mine.
00:33:24With the mayor's endorsement
00:33:25and the title of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:33:28Sea Mist was splattered all over countless posters.
00:33:32Customers poured into Sea Mist non-stop.
00:33:35Mia and I opened three more locations together.
00:33:38I never held back.
00:33:39I shared everything I knew.
00:33:41Sea Mist will always stand for healthy, delicious food.
00:33:51All those prepayments that should have gone into Iron Anchor's account,
00:33:54they were now flooding into mine instead.
00:33:57Oh my God,
00:33:58I can't believe my eyes.
00:34:00Grayson,
00:34:01in less than half an hour,
00:34:02the prepayments have already topped three million.
00:34:05We made it!
00:34:06Grayson,
00:34:07you deserve this.
00:34:08The restaurant industry doesn't need some performer who only knows how to lie.
00:34:12It needs craftsmen like you.
00:34:14People with soul when it comes to food.
00:34:17This is the contract for government catering for the next year.
00:34:26Pleasure doing business with you.
00:34:28At that moment,
00:34:28Percy,
00:34:29his face caked with mud,
00:34:31pressed himself against the window like a ghost,
00:34:34watching me sign contract after contract,
00:34:37signing away millions of dollars.
00:34:38Furious,
00:34:39he tried to get in,
00:34:40but the security guard at the door shoved him back,
00:34:43sending him tumbling down the steps.
00:34:45Get out of my way!
00:34:46That bastard Grayson took everything from me!
00:34:49This was supposed to be mine!
00:34:51Move along!
00:34:52This is no place for a homeless guy!
00:34:54He was out there watching.
00:34:56I was in here sitting.
00:34:58That single pane of glass was the line between heaven and hell.
00:35:02He used to say that without him,
00:35:04I'd be begging for food in Chinatown.
00:35:06Now,
00:35:07he can't even get past the door of my restaurant.
00:35:11Grayson!
00:35:12You traitor!
00:35:17Percy was curled up next to a stinking dumpster.
00:35:20His thousand-dollar tuxedo was caked with grime.
00:35:24He was too afraid to go home,
00:35:26because all the partners he'd arrogantly signed with before
00:35:29were now turning on him after Iron Anchor got shut down.
00:35:32What awaited him was massive penalty fees
00:35:35and the fury of every single one of those partners.
00:35:43Hello?
00:35:44Boss, just give me a little more time.
00:35:46Time?
00:35:47Percy, your old frozen meat got my license revoked.
00:35:50According to the contract,
00:35:51you owe me triple the penalty.
00:35:53That's two million dollars.
00:35:55If I don't see that money by tomorrow morning,
00:35:56you can go feed the fish in the Hudson River.
00:36:04Percy, this is James from Seafood Logistics.
00:36:07That industry benchmark prize you promised was total bullshit.
00:36:10I want my shipping fees and the 500,000 penalty.
00:36:12Transfer it now.
00:36:13Otherwise, I'm sending your address to every creditor in Manhattan.
00:36:17Percy pinned all his remaining hope on live streaming.
00:36:20He begged his viewers to send him money to save Iron Anchor.
00:36:23He made a complete fool of himself like a stray dog losing every shred of dignity.
00:36:28He did pathetic stunts.
00:36:29He even fought homeless people for food.
00:36:31You felled us garbage for so long.
00:36:33What right does an animal like you have to ask for our forgiveness?
00:36:36Report him.
00:36:37Make him disappear for good.
00:36:39No, no, no.
00:36:40If I hadn't skimped on that 90,000,
00:36:42if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:36:43that six million would have been mine.
00:36:45The mayor's praise would have been mine too.
00:36:47He finally understood.
00:36:49Losing me wasn't just losing a line cook.
00:36:51It was losing his only brain and his last chance to be a decent human being.
00:36:55The live stream ban was the final straw that broke Percy.
00:36:59He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:37:01glowing with lights,
00:37:02and finally broke down sobbing.
00:37:05I was wrong.
00:37:07Grayson, I was really wrong.
00:37:14Time to pay up.
00:37:19Hear my love.
00:37:22No, no.
00:37:23Grayson, help me.
00:37:25Help me.
00:37:28I took Mia out for a nice meal.
00:37:31Because we were so poor last year,
00:37:33I couldn't even feed my pregnant wife decent food more than a few times.
00:37:38Mia, thank you.
00:37:39For everything.
00:37:41These past three years.
00:37:43Grayson, I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:37:45A month ago, we were stressing over $500 in rent.
00:37:49Dreams end.
00:37:51But these numbers don't lie.
00:37:52Three days ago,
00:37:53I sat here watching Percy throw money around like it was nothing.
00:37:56Now,
00:37:57Sea Mist's weekly revenue alone equals his entire net profit from last year.
00:38:01Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.
00:38:03Grayson,
00:38:04the prepayments and net profit,
00:38:06it's over six million?
00:38:07That's just the first week.
00:38:08With the mayor's endorsement,
00:38:09every big name in New York,
00:38:11politicians,
00:38:11and socialettes alike is lining up.
00:38:14We're already booked through Christmas next year.
00:38:16We're rich.
00:38:17We can give our child the best education.
00:38:20We never have to live under Percy's thumb again.
00:38:22I looked at Mia's excited face.
00:38:24It warmed my heart.
00:38:26To the future.
00:38:28Cheers.
00:38:30And Percy?
00:38:31At that very moment,
00:38:32he was huddled next to a dumpster,
00:38:34gnawling on someone else's disparted bread.
00:38:40I moved Mia out of that tiny rental apartment
00:38:42and bought the best estate in the city.
00:38:44Mr. Grayson,
00:38:45this is the most private estate in the entire city.
00:38:47It comes with its own helipad
00:38:48and a top of the security system.
00:38:50Do you like it?
00:38:51The sunlight here is beautiful.
00:38:53Perfect for our kid to run around on the grass someday.
00:38:55I never imagined I'd live in a place like this someday.
00:38:58Grayson,
00:38:58this is too expensive.
00:39:00Mia,
00:39:00you deserve the best.
00:39:01Just sign it.
00:39:02This will be our family's safe haven.
00:39:04Now,
00:39:05I bought the estate
00:39:06that Percy never even dared to dream of stepping foot in.
00:39:09And him?
00:39:10He's hiding in some dark corner,
00:39:12running from the creditors.
00:39:14The soft opening of Seamist branch was a huge success.
00:39:16We can officially launch the expansion plan now.
00:39:19Yes,
00:39:19Mr. Grayson.
00:39:20The top 10 commercial districts
00:39:21are all fighting for us to set up there.
00:39:23The contracts are ready.
00:39:24Tell them this.
00:39:25Seamist has only one standard.
00:39:27The finest ingredients,
00:39:28absolute transparency.
00:39:30Percy failed because he looked at his customers
00:39:31and saw cash cows.
00:39:33I succeeded because I treat food like a religion.
00:39:36Expanding the business isn't about hoarding money.
00:39:39It's about letting more people around the world enjoy this food.
00:39:42Grayson,
00:39:42we're really starting a new life.
00:39:47The first stop for our expansion?
00:39:49That port Percy always wanted to take over for himself.
00:40:05Goodbye, Grayson.
00:40:06You made it.
00:40:08You goddamn piece of trash.
00:40:10You actually sold banned meat?
00:40:11Are you even human?
00:40:12Dad,
00:40:14I was just trying to make money.
00:40:16Who knew that ungrateful snake,
00:40:17Grayson,
00:40:18would turn on me?
00:40:19Turn on you?
00:40:20If it weren't for him,
00:40:21we'd all be in prison right now because of you.
00:40:24We have no place for a beast like you.
00:40:26I was tasting the finest wine in my estate.
00:40:29Percy was in that old house,
00:40:30taking the beating my parents should have given him long ago.
00:40:33He used to think he was the pride of the family.
00:40:35In truth,
00:40:35he was just a cowardly,
00:40:36rotten parasite.
00:40:37You're a monster!
00:40:38Get out!
00:40:39Stop hitting me!
00:40:41Grayson is loaded.
00:40:42He's got tens of millions now.
00:40:43Make him help me!
00:40:46You still have the nerve to mention him?
00:40:49When you paid him 2,000 bucks,
00:40:51did you ever stop to think he was your little brother?
00:40:53Get out!
00:40:54Go be a line cook out on the streets!
00:41:04His nightmare had only just begun.
00:41:16What happened at Iron Anchor was a misunderstanding.
00:41:19I already switched suppliers.
00:41:22Just lift the band, please.
00:41:24Give me one more day.
00:41:26Mr. Percy,
00:41:27your restaurant is on the national blacklist now.
00:41:30Old frozen meat and formalide-laden decor?
00:41:32Those search terms are number one on Google.
00:41:34Stop wasting our time.
00:41:36Get out and don't bring that stench into our office.
00:41:39Reputation takes a year to build
00:41:41and one plate of rotten Otoro sushi to destroy.
00:41:49Lisa!
00:41:51Where are you going?
00:41:52My cards are frozen.
00:41:53You have to help me.
00:41:54Help you?
00:41:55Percy?
00:41:56Right now,
00:41:56you're worse than a homeless guy on the street.
00:41:59These bottles are my appearance fee for putting on that show with you for a year.
00:42:03Don't contact me again.
00:42:04I don't want creditors thinking I'm your partner.
00:42:07The love he was so proud of?
00:42:11It ran faster than anyone the moment Iron Anchor got shut down.
00:42:15That's my car!
00:42:17That's my money!
00:42:25Watching Percy fall apart like this,
00:42:27I couldn't help but feel grateful that the woman by my side is Mia.
00:42:34With nowhere left to go,
00:42:36Percy stole mom and dad's retirement savings
00:42:38and borrowed a huge junk of money from the neighbors.
00:42:41My parents called me to handle it.
00:42:43I bought the most expensive estate in Manhattan,
00:42:46a place with a garden bigger than Percy's entire restaurant.
00:42:49I brought Mia back here to show my parents that their younger son,
00:42:52the one they called just a line cook,
00:42:54was the true pride of the family.
00:43:00Mom, just $20,000.
00:43:02Give it to me and I'll pay you back 10 times when I'm back on top.
00:43:05You animal!
00:43:06You stole the money mom needs for her heart surgery
00:43:08and you scamp the neighbors.
00:43:10We can't even show our faces outside anymore.
00:43:12Are you going to drive us crazy?
00:43:13Grayson, you ungrateful snake.
00:43:15You live in a mansion,
00:43:16wear suits worth tens of thousands
00:43:18and you just watch your own brother die?
00:43:20Dad, mom, here are the keys to your new house,
00:43:22a villa I bought for you on the Upper East Side.
00:43:24It comes with the best in-home doctors.
00:43:27Percy, don't you dare use the word family to disgust me.
00:43:30The moment you stole their retirement money,
00:43:31you should have realized you're already out of this family.
00:43:38Money, that's mine!
00:43:40You owe me!
00:43:42This money is for the neighbors.
00:43:43As for you, Percy,
00:43:45you don't deserve to touch a single cent.
00:43:46I was wearing clothes he could never afford in his lifetime.
00:43:49I was standing at a height he would never reach.
00:43:52And he was down on the ground like a dog,
00:43:54finally realizing he had lost.
00:44:03Good morning, Mr. Grayson.
00:44:05Thank you for the jobs you've provided.
00:44:07Mr. Grayson,
00:44:08Seamist Restaurant is truly the pride of this entire street.
00:44:12A month ago,
00:44:13when I walked down this street,
00:44:14everyone looked at me like I was a joke.
00:44:16Now,
00:44:16I own half the storefronts on this block,
00:44:18and the looks people give me have gone from contempt to respect.
00:44:22Suddenly,
00:44:23from the end of the street,
00:44:24a sharp scream cut through the air,
00:44:26followed by a sickening crunch.
00:44:28Two million in penalties!
00:44:30You promised to pay today!
00:44:31Where's the money?
00:44:36He's got money.
00:44:37That's my own brother.
00:44:38Go ask him!
00:44:39He could sneeze and have enough to pay you all off!
00:44:42A piece of trash like you!
00:44:43Dares to call him your brother!
00:44:44He just issued a statement in the paper!
00:44:46He's cutting all ties with you!
00:44:47No money, huh?
00:44:48Then we do it the old way.
00:44:49Let's start with two fingers.
00:44:56I took Mia's hand
00:44:58and stepped through the magnificent doors of Seamist Restaurant.
00:45:00Behind me,
00:45:01Percy's screams for help echoed
00:45:03as the debt cappers dragged him into the shadows.
00:45:05Please!
00:45:06Go tell those guys,
00:45:08don't let any blood get spilled in front of my restaurant,
00:45:10and make it quick.
00:45:12Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:45:26From today on,
00:45:27Seamist is no longer just a restaurant.
00:45:29We're going to build the most legitimate food supply chain in this city.
00:45:32And the people on Surlate,
00:45:34if they're clean,
00:45:35no tricks,
00:45:36no dirt,
00:45:36I'll double their pay.
00:45:37Yes, Grayson!
00:45:39Grayson,
00:45:40congratulations on the new company.
00:45:41I left that loser, Percy,
00:45:43because I could see you were the real deal.
00:45:45The one who actually gets things done.
00:45:47Grayson,
00:45:48does Seamist need a PR director?
00:45:50Or maybe a personal assistant?
00:45:52I know everything you like,
00:45:53just like I knew everything about Percy.
00:45:56Lisa, you sure knew Percy.
00:45:57You knew exactly how to kick him when he was down.
00:46:00And you know exactly how to crawl back like a parasite
00:46:02the second you smell money.
00:46:03Miss Lisa,
00:46:04Seamist doesn't need an assistant,
00:46:05but we are looking for a cleaner to take out the trash.
00:46:08But take a look at your clothes.
00:46:09I doubt you could even hold a rag, Stady.
00:46:11Get this piece of cheap,
00:46:13perfumed garbage out of here.
00:46:14From today on,
00:46:15if she shows up within a kilometer of Seamist,
00:46:18call the cops immediately.
00:46:19Grayson!
00:46:20Don't get cocky!
00:46:22You were just a line cook too!
00:46:24Ah!
00:46:25Ah!
00:46:26I watched her pathetic retreat.
00:46:28In the eyes of opportunists like her,
00:46:30every spot next to me has a price tag.
00:46:32But they don't know.
00:46:34Mia lived with me in that leaky rental apartment.
00:46:37I know for certain.
00:46:38She is the one and only love my life.
00:46:41Why do you keep staring at me?
00:46:46Mia.
00:46:48I think I owe you a grand wedding.
00:46:52I think I owe you a grand wedding.
00:47:03Mr. Grayson,
00:47:04do you take Mia to be your wife?
00:47:06To cherish her in both poverty and wealth.
00:47:09I do.
00:47:11I do.
00:47:12Today,
00:47:13all those wealthy socialettes who used to mock us as the poor couple
00:47:17are sitting right there in the audience,
00:47:19applauding us with the most flattering cheers.
00:47:23This is the coronation I promised my wife.
00:47:32Grayson,
00:47:32save me!
00:47:33The debt collures broke my fingers.
00:47:34I'm in the alley,
00:47:35right outside the church.
00:47:36Please,
00:47:37just give me 50,000 one last time.
00:47:41Is it him?
00:47:50Someone who doesn't matter.
00:47:52He doesn't get to disturb our wedding.
00:47:54I'm not going to pile on someone already down.
00:47:57Not out of mercy.
00:47:58He's just not worth my time.
00:48:00But I'm not a pushover either.
00:48:02Kindness needs teeth,
00:48:04or it means nothing.
00:48:14That was mine.
00:48:15That should have been mine.
00:48:17That six million dollars,
00:48:19the fame,
00:48:19the woman,
00:48:20all of it was mine.
00:48:22I bought the most expensive billboard in Times Square
00:48:25and played my wedding video on loop.
00:48:27Percy watched the screen in fury.
00:48:29Percy,
00:48:30your big shot brother already said he's stripping you of his last name.
00:48:33You don't even have a surname anymore now.
00:48:35He's got money.
00:48:35He's got billions.
00:48:37Go kill him.
00:48:38Kill him,
00:48:38and all that money becomes mine.
00:48:40Kill him?
00:48:41Grayson is the mayor's right-hand band now.
00:48:43He's got thousands of bodyguards.
00:48:45But you,
00:48:46your eyeballs are worth something.
00:48:47How about we take them as interest first?
00:48:52Grayson,
00:48:53you think you've won?
00:48:54Your woman's about to give birth, right?
00:48:56You're going to regret this.
00:48:58I'm going to destroy your happiness.
00:49:00Completely.
00:49:01I thought he would just wither away in his despair.
00:49:04I underestimated how deeply greed and jealousy can twist into a person's soul.
00:49:10A vicious plan was closing in on me.
00:49:21Grayson,
00:49:22you live in a mansion worth thousands of square feet,
00:49:25and you're going to let me freeze to death out here?
00:49:28Grayson,
00:49:28you know,
00:49:29he is your own brother.
00:49:30Can't you give him one more chance?
00:49:32A year ago,
00:49:32Percy was throwing money around at Iron Anchor
00:49:35while mom and dad lived in that leaky old house.
00:49:37He never once mentioned family.
00:49:39Now that he's drowning,
00:49:40he's using our elderly parents to play the guilt card.
00:49:43That kind of guilt is disgusted to me
00:49:45even more than that plate of rotten otosushi.
00:49:53Brother,
00:49:54save me!
00:49:55Just transfer 10% of Sea Mist shares to me,
00:49:59and the creditors will leave me alone!
00:50:01Mom and dad,
00:50:01please say something for me!
00:50:03Grayson,
00:50:04those deck cleapers are beating Percy half to death!
00:50:06He still has the strength to beg.
00:50:08He still has the strength to come here.
00:50:10He's perfectly capable of pulling himself out of this mess.
00:50:13You cold-blooded freak!
00:50:23You tried to hurt your own little brother?
00:50:27Mom,
00:50:28dad,
00:50:29this is the son you wanted me to help.
00:50:31He never once thought of us as family.
00:50:35I never kick a man when he's down,
00:50:38but I will not repay evil with kindness.
00:50:42In that moment,
00:50:43his last family card was burned to ash by my own hand.
00:50:48You animal!
00:50:49Now we only have one son,
00:50:51Grayson!
00:50:52Don't you ever show your face in front of us again!
00:50:54No,
00:50:55no,
00:50:55no!
00:50:56Mom!
00:50:57Dad!
00:50:57No,
00:50:58no,
00:50:58mom!
00:50:59No!
00:50:59No!
00:51:00No!
00:51:00No!
00:51:01No!
00:51:01No!
00:51:02No!
00:51:03That hopeless bastard.
00:51:06Grayson,
00:51:07it was our fault for asking you to help him.
00:51:10Don't worry about it,
00:51:11mom.
00:51:12Mr. Grayson,
00:51:13it's bad.
00:51:14While your parents were asleep,
00:51:15a man claiming to be their son forced his way in and took their bags.
00:51:19That animal?
00:51:20Those bags had mom and dad's life savings.
00:51:22They're only retirement money.
00:51:26I thought Percy would just crawl into some corner and wait to die after being exposed.
00:51:31I underestimated how desperate a gambler with nothing left to loss can become.
00:51:41He didn't steal that money to pay off his debts.
00:51:43He stole it to feed his delusional dream of a comeback.
00:51:49Grayson,
00:51:50we found him.
00:51:51Percy is hooked up with an underground factory in Brooklyn.
00:51:53They produce illegal chemical flavorings that are highly addictive.
00:51:57He's trying to use those poisons to copy sea mists' taste and force his way back into the market.
00:52:01For a little money, he's willing to do something like this.
00:52:16Get the best medical team in the country.
00:52:1824-hour care for mom and dad.
00:52:20Do whatever it takes to keep them from finding out what that bastard Percy has done.
00:52:24As for Percy,
00:52:25I'm going to make him pay.
00:52:27Before,
00:52:28I just wanted to see him broken on the streets.
00:52:31Now,
00:52:31I'm going to take him out myself.
00:52:39Talk!
00:52:41What did that ungrateful bastard give you?
00:52:43How dare you call him the most conscientious chef in Manhattan on livestream?
00:52:48He was about to pass out from hunger and I gave him a burger.
00:52:51He's a good man.
00:52:53You're the real demon.
00:52:56A good man?
00:52:58I'll break the hand that fed him.
00:53:00You're the real demon.
00:53:05Percy, go ahead.
00:53:06Touch that hand and see what happens.
00:53:09Grayson!
00:53:10You think just because you're some big shot now, you're untouchable?
00:53:13This old man insulted me.
00:53:15I'll kill him.
00:53:20My hand!
00:53:21Grayson, you crazy bastard!
00:53:23That one's for the burger.
00:53:26My rule is simple.
00:53:27A kindness,
00:53:28I return it tenfold.
00:53:30A slight,
00:53:31I break the bone.
00:53:32And from that,
00:53:33delivered it.
00:53:37Sir,
00:53:38an apartment on the Upper East Side
00:53:40and a restaurant on Sorelli Street.
00:53:43They're yours now.
00:53:44Mr. Grayson,
00:53:47this is too much.
00:53:49This is nothing next to that burger you gave me back then.
00:53:53Percy lay there in the filthy water,
00:53:55watching the trash he'd just been kicking
00:53:57suddenly become the property owner he'd only ever dreamt.
00:54:00Jealousy and pain and joking happen soon.
00:54:11While I sat atop Seamist restaurant,
00:54:14enjoying the rich aroma of premium Wagyu,
00:54:17Percy was hiding in the stinking alleys of the slums,
00:54:20trying to make his last desperate comeback.
00:54:23Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:54:26You seeing this?
00:54:27This is what real charity looks like.
00:54:30Seamist charges thousands for one meal.
00:54:33That's robbery!
00:54:34My bliss box is only $9.99.
00:54:37$9.99!
00:54:39Get it while it lasts!
00:54:41You losers!
00:54:42Eat it or don't,
00:54:43I don't care.
00:54:44Once I save up enough to buy out the Seamist,
00:54:47you could beg for it on your knees.
00:54:48Get lost!
00:54:49All of you haters, get lost!
00:54:52He had become a complete outcast,
00:54:54despised by the entire internet.
00:54:56He was poisoning those poor people,
00:54:58using that nerve-destroying addictive flavoring to make money,
00:55:02dreaming of making a comeback.
00:55:03He was night.
00:55:04The foundation of business has never been violent addiction.
00:55:07It's absolute control over the global supply chain.
00:55:14Ha ha ha ha!
00:55:16Grayson, you came to laugh at me?
00:55:18Look!
00:55:19Look at all these people in line!
00:55:21My capital is doubling!
00:55:23Soon I'll be able to buy out your fake little restaurant!
00:55:26What have you got to fight me with?
00:55:29In Seamist Group's name,
00:55:30inform the Global Spice Association.
00:55:32From this moment on,
00:55:33whoever sells one gram of spice
00:55:35to any factory connected to Percy
00:55:36will be permanently erased from the global supply chain.
00:55:39Spice?
00:55:39I've got money, you idiot!
00:55:41I'll just buy some from Chinatown!
00:55:42Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:55:44Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:55:46What?
00:55:48Not just the big suppliers?
00:55:49Even the small workshops are canceling?
00:55:51They're demanding triple the refund?
00:55:53Without spice,
00:55:54I can't cover up the bitterness
00:55:55of all that expired rotten meat!
00:55:56Hello?
00:55:57Percy,
00:55:58without fire and salt,
00:55:59you can't even cook a plate of garbage.
00:56:02I cut off his last lifeline.
00:56:12Leo,
00:56:13you're the person Grayson trusts the most.
00:56:15Just put one drop of this vial into his tuna.
00:56:18This five million and shares in the new company,
00:56:21it's all yours.
00:56:23Five million.
00:56:24Gotta admit,
00:56:25that's tempting.
00:56:26Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:27Good!
00:56:27That arrogant bastard Grayson,
00:56:29he never imagined he'd be betrayed by someone he saved.
00:56:33Percy,
00:56:34looks like you forgot.
00:56:35Leo was about to go under,
00:56:36and I'm the one who pulled him out.
00:56:38Your filthy money couldn't even buy back the life I saved for him back then.
00:56:42When I save someone,
00:56:44loyalty is in their blood.
00:56:47Percy's blood?
00:56:48It's pure,
00:56:49rotting greed.
00:56:50Trying to buy loyalty with filthy garbage like that
00:56:53is basically him executing whatever intelligence he had left.
00:56:58Tell me,
00:56:59if you drank that stuff you cooked up yourself,
00:57:02what do you think would happen?
00:57:03No.
00:57:05No.
00:57:06Grayson,
00:57:07I'm your own brother.
00:57:09Don't kill me.
00:57:10Kill you?
00:57:12That would dirty my basement.
00:57:16Send him back.
00:57:17Crawling in the mud,
00:57:18that's the only thing that suits him.
00:57:20He took a step against me,
00:57:21so I'll make sure he never walks straight again.
00:57:23His dignity?
00:57:25I've stomped it straight into the gutter.
00:57:30Starting today,
00:57:31the Sea Mist Group is acquiring every last shop on Surla Street.
00:57:35All of you who didn't follow Percy when he was doing his dirty work,
00:57:39you each receive a 5% in the original shares.
00:57:45I came back to rebuild,
00:57:47not to take revenge.
00:57:48I wanted these honest people to know,
00:57:51follow Grayson,
00:57:52and even a vegetable seller can stand tall
00:57:55and make money right here in Manhattan.
00:58:01Hurry up.
00:58:02Just give me some bread.
00:58:03I'm starving.
00:58:04Here.
00:58:04Mr. Grayson specifically asked for this,
00:58:07for some special people.
00:58:09Three-day-old stale ends.
00:58:12I watched him.
00:58:16He once wanted to starve me.
00:58:19Now,
00:58:20he's only breathing because I choose to throw him scraps.
00:58:25Percy, you're not off the hook yet.
00:58:27That illegal factory's poison?
00:58:29Time for you to take a sip yourself.
00:58:37Everyone,
00:58:38Sea Mist restaurants' so-called natural ingredients
00:58:41are nothing but a lie for the rich.
00:58:43Today,
00:58:44I'm going to expose Grayson's crimes,
00:58:46monopolizing spices,
00:58:47and driving up prices.
00:58:52Our tech-based food costs only 1% of Sea Mistas,
00:58:56but tastes exactly the same.
00:58:58Grayson's era is over!
00:59:01I saw Percy's little circus act on the screen,
00:59:03and it did nothing to me.
00:59:04He's cozying up to those drug manufacturers
00:59:06who skate just inside the law
00:59:08trying to define great food with cheap-muckle garbage.
00:59:10He doesn't understand.
00:59:11Real top-tier ingredients are a gift from the earth and the sun,
00:59:14not some molecular arrangement in a lab.
00:59:21Today,
00:59:21the Sea Mist group will roll out
00:59:23the global restaurant platinum standard.
00:59:25Any restaurant that does not meet
00:59:27the natural supply chain audit
00:59:28will be removed from the global procurement
00:59:30while pissed for good.
00:59:33Mr. Grayson's proposal
00:59:35is a beacon for the restaurant industry,
00:59:37and we support it 100%.
00:59:40While Percy was still in that dark little corner
00:59:42trying to smear my name,
00:59:44I was at the top of the food chain,
00:59:46rewriting the rules of the game.
00:59:49He thinks he's competing with me.
00:59:51The truth is,
00:59:52he's just swarming between my fingers.
00:59:55Ah!
00:59:56This is impossible!
00:59:57Why would the WTO stand up for a guy
00:59:59who used to be a line cook?
01:00:03Leo, tell the people next door
01:00:04that my press conference is over.
01:00:07Now,
01:00:08it's time to take out the trash.
01:00:17Grayson!
01:00:18This is illegal entry!
01:00:19My tech food
01:00:20is the future of the industry!
01:00:22The future of the industry?
01:00:24This chemical waste
01:00:25that makes people hallucinate?
01:00:27This bowl of plain
01:00:29kanji,
01:00:30made simply with rice
01:00:31from the 40th parallel north
01:00:32and spring water from Crimea.
01:00:34Judges, please.
01:00:37This is
01:00:38the taste of a mother's cooking.
01:00:40This is the pure warmth of the earth.
01:00:41Today,
01:00:42I destroyed all his hypocrisy
01:00:43and arrogance
01:00:44with a single bowl of plain kanji.
01:00:46A true master chef
01:00:47doesn't need complex recipes.
01:00:48All he needs
01:00:49is a heart that respects nature.
01:00:50Percy's lab-made perfect flavor?
01:00:52Compared to the real deal,
01:00:54it's just a toxic fraud.
01:00:55This
01:00:56is the molecular formula
01:00:57for your synthetic meat.
01:01:00There's a high dose
01:01:01of neural blockers in this.
01:01:02Keep eating it
01:01:03and you'll go crazy.
01:01:05Percy,
01:01:05this isn't cooking.
01:01:06It's straight up murder!
01:01:10Murderer!
01:01:11Get out of Manhattan!
01:01:12Go to hell,
01:01:13you piece of trash!
01:01:14No!
01:01:15This isn't true!
01:01:16Grayson,
01:01:16you're setting me up!
01:01:17Percy,
01:01:18the moment you decided
01:01:19to poison the world
01:01:20with your drugs,
01:01:20the gates of hell
01:01:21were already open for you.
01:01:27Percy knelt on the ground
01:01:28covered in filth,
01:01:29clinging to his father's legs
01:01:30and wailing.
01:01:31His illegal lab
01:01:32had just been raided
01:01:33by the police.
01:01:33He was now a wanted criminal
01:01:35across the country.
01:01:35Dad,
01:01:37Mom,
01:01:37save me!
01:01:38Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:01:39He's gonna throw me
01:01:40into the meat-grander
01:01:42with all those creditors!
01:01:45Percy!
01:01:47You are still
01:01:48my eldest son
01:01:49after all.
01:01:54Grayson,
01:01:55could you maybe...
01:02:02Mom,
01:02:02Mom,
01:02:02even now,
01:02:03you still think
01:02:03he just made a mistake?
01:02:04The first one,
01:02:06this is the pension
01:02:06transfer authorization
01:02:07he personally signed
01:02:08while you were both
01:02:09in the hospital.
01:02:10The second one,
01:02:11this is the contract
01:02:11where he mortgaged
01:02:12this family home
01:02:13to underground loan sharks
01:02:14behind your backs.
01:02:18You animal!
01:02:20You even stole
01:02:20our funeral fund!
01:02:21Do you want the two of us
01:02:22to die on the street?
01:02:23Dad,
01:02:24I was trying to make
01:02:24a comeback!
01:02:25Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:02:26I could buy you
01:02:26a hundred penthouses!
01:02:27Go.
01:02:28Just go, Percy.
01:02:29I don't have a son
01:02:31like you anymore.
01:02:32Percy,
01:02:33the biggest mistake
01:02:34you ever made
01:02:35was treating everyone
01:02:36around you
01:02:37as sacrificial lambs
01:02:38for your own success.
01:02:40Starting today,
01:02:41you are out of this family.
01:02:44Percy,
01:02:45do you remember
01:02:45what you said?
01:02:46That one of us
01:02:47would take over the world
01:02:48and the other
01:02:48would fade into obscurity?
01:02:49I'm going to make sure
01:02:50you watch me
01:02:51take over the world.
01:02:52Grayson,
01:02:52you goddamn bastard!
01:02:58Grayson,
01:02:58you said you wanted
01:02:59to settle family
01:03:00out counts on this day.
01:03:02If you don't have
01:03:03solid evidence,
01:03:04you know the consequences.
01:03:06The Thorn family rule
01:03:07is pragmatism,
01:03:09but in dismantations,
01:03:10rules are just a cover-up
01:03:12for his greed.
01:03:13A year ago,
01:03:13Percy stood at a family
01:03:14gathering and mocked
01:03:15these hands of mine,
01:03:17saying they were only good
01:03:17for holding a kitchen knife.
01:03:19Today,
01:03:19I'm not just taking back
01:03:20my dignity.
01:03:21I'm tearing apart
01:03:22his lies with my own hands.
01:03:23He thought being family
01:03:24would save him,
01:03:25like a free pass.
01:03:27What he didn't know
01:03:27is that before absolute rules,
01:03:29every single betrayal
01:03:30comes with a price.
01:03:31First crime,
01:03:32exploitation.
01:03:33In the three years
01:03:34at Iron Anchor,
01:03:35he withheld $90,000
01:03:36of my front propjorkan payment
01:03:37and treated me
01:03:38like cheap liber.
01:03:39Second crime,
01:03:40poisoning.
01:03:40He colluded with chemical companies
01:03:42and added nerve-blocking agents
01:03:43to the ingredients.
01:03:44This is a direct assault
01:03:45on the hundred-year reputation.
01:03:47Third crime,
01:03:48attempted murder.
01:03:49He tried to attack
01:03:50and harm me.
01:03:51Oh!
01:03:52You animal!
01:03:53You dared to harm
01:03:55your own brother?
01:03:56Fourth crime,
01:03:57and the most unforgivable one,
01:03:58embezzlement.
01:03:59While our parents
01:04:00were in the hospital,
01:04:01he stole their pension
01:04:02and mortgaged
01:04:03the family home.
01:04:04He tried to push
01:04:04the very people
01:04:05who raised him
01:04:06into the Hudson River.
01:04:07No!
01:04:07That was all for business!
01:04:09Grayson,
01:04:09you're insane!
01:04:11Evidence is cold,
01:04:12but people's hearts are hot.
01:04:13The moment those four crimes
01:04:14came together,
01:04:15to these elders,
01:04:15he was no longer
01:04:16the hope of the family.
01:04:17He was a rotting sword
01:04:18that had to be cut out.
01:04:19You worthless bastard!
01:04:20What do you have to say
01:04:21for yourself?
01:04:28Elder,
01:04:28even if I was wrong,
01:04:29I'm the only business genius
01:04:31in this family.
01:04:32Grayson is just a cook.
01:04:33He can't protect
01:04:33the family's legacy.
01:04:35A business genius?
01:04:37Parsi,
01:04:38all your so-called management
01:04:39is just chasing
01:04:40internet fame
01:04:40while clinging
01:04:41to the dying
01:04:42Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:04:47This is CMIST Group's
01:04:48valuation.
01:04:50$100 billion.
01:04:51I don't just control
01:04:52one-third of the
01:04:53top-tier supply gen.
01:04:54I also have the
01:04:55industry medal
01:04:55personally awarded
01:04:56by the World Trade Organization.
01:04:58I wasn't showing them money,
01:04:59but absolute dominance.
01:05:00In this world,
01:05:01capital speaks,
01:05:02and the highest level
01:05:03of capital,
01:05:03it makes people kneel.
01:05:05Percy thought he was
01:05:06running a business.
01:05:06Me?
01:05:07I'm running an era.
01:05:08When I spread out
01:05:09these reports enough
01:05:09to buy half of New York,
01:05:10his pathetic little assets
01:05:11wouldn't even be enough
01:05:12to pay my taxes.
01:05:13One-
01:05:15100 billion?
01:05:16Grayson,
01:05:17you did this in just
01:05:18one year?
01:05:18Please,
01:05:19Mr. Grayson,
01:05:20take your place
01:05:20as the head of the family.
01:05:22That's mine!
01:05:23That was supposed
01:05:24to be mine!
01:05:25Grayson,
01:05:26what right do you have,
01:05:27you lowly line cook?
01:05:28Percy,
01:05:29take a good look.
01:05:30In this world,
01:05:31the strong make the rules.
01:05:32The weak
01:05:34just wait to die.
01:05:36I stand at the summit,
01:05:37looking down at him.
01:05:38He once wanted me to kneel.
01:05:40Now,
01:05:41he wasn't even worthy
01:05:42to lift his head
01:05:43and look at me.
01:05:51Thorn Percy,
01:05:52from this moment on,
01:05:53you no longer carry
01:05:54the Thorn name.
01:05:55You are out of this family.
01:05:57No,
01:05:57you can't tear it!
01:05:58I am a Thorn!
01:05:59I have Thorn blood
01:06:00running through my veins!
01:06:01Without the family,
01:06:02the creditors would tear
01:06:03Percy to pieces.
01:06:04I knew that,
01:06:05and I didn't help it.
01:06:06Percy,
01:06:07the moment you stole
01:06:07mum and dad's pension,
01:06:08you had no blood relation left.
01:06:10I watched that page
01:06:11get consumed by the flames,
01:06:12turning to ash.
01:06:13In Thorn family tradition,
01:06:14being expelled
01:06:15means social death.
01:06:16From now on,
01:06:16he is no one's son,
01:06:17no one's brother.
01:06:18As a nameless nobody
01:06:18in the filthiest sewers,
01:06:20he will pay back
01:06:20every blood bet he owed.
01:06:21I want you to live
01:06:24as a man with no name.
01:06:26Grayson!
01:06:27You bastard!
01:06:29Without my hundred thousand dollars,
01:06:31you'd still be a cockroach
01:06:32in the gutter!
01:06:33A pathetic,
01:06:34lowly line cook!
01:06:44From this day forward,
01:06:45the Thorn family
01:06:46has no Percy.
01:06:47I looked up at the skyscrapers
01:06:49in the distance.
01:06:57No money!
01:06:58Then pay with your life!
01:07:00The Thorn family
01:07:01has already thrown you
01:07:02away like garbage.
01:07:04Right now,
01:07:05you're worse than
01:07:05the rats this alley.
01:07:10Please,
01:07:11just give me one more day.
01:07:12Just one day!
01:07:14Grayson has money.
01:07:15He has hundreds of billions!
01:07:17He could pluck a hair
01:07:19off his body
01:07:19and it would be enough
01:07:20to pay you all back.
01:07:25In Manhattan,
01:07:26the highest form of rejection
01:07:27isn't insults.
01:07:28It's silence.
01:07:30Right now,
01:07:31I'm sitting within
01:07:31arm rage of him,
01:07:32but I can't even be bothered
01:07:33to lift a finger.
01:07:34The moment he stole
01:07:35our parents' last bit
01:07:36of survival money,
01:07:37he lost even the right
01:07:38to die inside my thoughts.
01:07:40Grayson!
01:07:41My good little brother!
01:07:42Save me!
01:07:43They want my organs!
01:07:45They're gonna chop me up
01:07:46and feed me to the face!
01:07:47Give me a million!
01:07:48No, 500,000!
01:07:49Just that much!
01:08:06Percy used to say
01:08:07that money was the only
01:08:08true faith in this world.
01:08:10Since he loves money so much,
01:08:12I'll let him feel
01:08:13what it's like
01:08:13when that money
01:08:14becomes a pile of stones
01:08:15crushing his spine.
01:08:24Percy!
01:08:25This is the money
01:08:26you owe us!
01:08:26The price of our sweat!
01:08:28Our blood!
01:08:29Take these bills
01:08:29and crawl back
01:08:30to your hell!
01:08:39Money!
01:08:39My money!
01:08:42Grayson,
01:08:42you finally gave me money!
01:08:44I win!
01:08:46Percy,
01:08:46Percy,
01:08:46take a good look.
01:08:47The thing you treat
01:08:48as your religion,
01:08:49to me,
01:08:50is just spare change
01:08:51for trash.
01:08:54I used to be a line cook
01:08:56worth only $2,000.
01:08:58Now,
01:08:59I've made him understand.
01:09:00In front of absolute skill
01:09:01and absolute rules,
01:09:03all a greedy man
01:09:04will ever get
01:09:04is a pile of worthless paper.
01:09:17Listen up,
01:09:18everyone.
01:09:19From today on,
01:09:21there's only one standard
01:09:22on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:09:24The Sea Mist
01:09:25Ethical Chef Standard.
01:09:28Any chef who makes it
01:09:29onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:09:31I will personally vouch
01:09:32for their professional integrity.
01:09:33In return,
01:09:34Sea Mist guarantees
01:09:34their salary will double.
01:09:36But if anyone dares
01:09:36to put even one gram
01:09:37of dirty ingredients
01:09:38into their food,
01:09:39I promise you,
01:09:40they will never have the chance
01:09:41to pick up a pair
01:09:42of chopsticks again.
01:09:46Grayson,
01:09:47you're absolutely right.
01:09:48Now that you've laid down
01:09:49the rules,
01:09:49none of us would dare
01:09:50to think otherwise.
01:09:52We'll do everything
01:09:52according to Sea Mist rules.
01:10:03Joss,
01:10:04Grayson asked me
01:10:05to tell you something.
01:10:07Since you loved
01:10:07helping Percy handle
01:10:08all that rotten
01:10:09and dirty meat
01:10:10back in the day,
01:10:12you can take on
01:10:12the dirtiest,
01:10:13most disgusting jobs
01:10:14all by yourself
01:10:15for the rest of your life.
01:10:18Grayson!
01:10:20I really know
01:10:21I was wrong.
01:10:22I was just following orders.
01:10:25Please,
01:10:26let me go back
01:10:27to cutting vegetables.
01:10:29I don't even need money.
01:10:31Just let me back
01:10:31into a kitchen.
01:10:37Go back
01:10:38to cutting vegetables?
01:10:39Joss,
01:10:39you're way too naive.
01:10:41You've been blacklisted
01:10:41by the entire restaurant
01:10:42industry.
01:10:43No!
01:10:44No!
01:10:45No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:48No!
01:10:48No!
01:10:50No!
01:10:50No!
01:10:50No!
01:10:50No!
01:10:51No!
01:10:55New York is just
01:10:56the beginning.
01:11:02Grayson,
01:11:02look how soundly
01:11:03the baby is sleeping.
01:11:05He's going to inherit
01:11:06everything I've built.
01:11:15Try this.
01:11:21I've given Mia
01:11:22the most precious
01:11:23love in the world
01:11:25because she was there
01:11:26for me when the road
01:11:27was darkest.
01:11:28This single piece
01:11:30of Satimi
01:11:30is worth a fortune,
01:11:32but it still can't
01:11:33compare to the hug
01:11:34she gave me back then.
01:11:35That was mine.
01:11:37That should have
01:11:38been my spot.
01:11:40Leo,
01:11:41the flies outside
01:11:42are too noisy.
01:11:44Clean them up.
01:11:49on opposite sides
01:11:50of a fence
01:11:52worlds apart.
01:12:03Grayson,
01:12:04I knew it.
01:12:05I knew you
01:12:06would come back.
01:12:07Professor,
01:12:08if it weren't for
01:12:09that hard bread
01:12:09you gave me back then,
01:12:10I wouldn't have made it
01:12:11until Sea Mist opened.
01:12:13On behalf of the
01:12:13Sea Mist group,
01:12:14I am donating
01:12:1510 billion dollars.
01:12:16Not just for the school,
01:12:17but to honor
01:12:18Professor Smith's
01:12:19craftsmanship.
01:12:22Grayson,
01:12:22does the Research Institute
01:12:23need any logistics staff?
01:12:25We haven't been doing well
01:12:26these past few years.
01:12:27For old times' sake,
01:12:28I remember you.
01:12:29You said back then
01:12:30that I was only fit
01:12:31to clean your toilets.
01:12:32That was a joke.
01:12:33Grayson,
01:12:34we'd take any job,
01:12:35even a janitor
01:12:36at the Research Institute.
01:12:38Tell HR
01:12:38every single position
01:12:39at the Research Institute
01:12:40from security
01:12:41to cleaning staff
01:12:41to the guys
01:12:42mowing the lawn
01:12:42I have to interview
01:12:43them personally.
01:12:43I watched the fear
01:12:44and greed in their eyes
01:12:45and I felt nothing.
01:12:46Class,
01:12:47it used to be
01:12:48their weapon
01:12:48for bullying me.
01:12:49Now,
01:12:50it's my shackles
01:12:51for judging them.
01:12:57Sir,
01:12:58I used to run a restaurant.
01:12:59I know a lot
01:13:00about trash sorting.
01:13:02Please,
01:13:02just give me a job
01:13:03so I can eat.
01:13:04Alert.
01:13:04Blacklisted individual detected.
01:13:06Percy.
01:13:07Permission level
01:13:07permanently banned.
01:13:12Get lost!
01:13:13Every single
01:13:14business under sea mist,
01:13:16even our trash dump
01:13:17won't take scum
01:13:18like you.
01:13:18Oh!
01:13:20Oh!
01:13:23Grayson!
01:13:24You can't do this to me!
01:13:26I'm your own brother!
01:13:28I bought up
01:13:28all the trash processing
01:13:29rights in Manhattan,
01:13:31not just for the monopoly,
01:13:32but to make sure
01:13:33certain scumbags
01:13:34have nowhere left
01:13:35to hide in this city.
01:13:36He once said
01:13:36I was a line cook
01:13:37who could be replaced
01:13:38by any homeless guy
01:13:39off the street.
01:13:40Now,
01:13:41he doesn't even qualify
01:13:42to be a sorter.
01:13:43The AI recognition
01:13:44system upgrade
01:13:45looks good.
01:13:46Give the tech department
01:13:47a bonus.
01:13:49The struggles
01:13:49of a clown like this
01:13:50aren't even worth
01:13:51a second of my anger
01:13:52anymore.
01:13:52His misery
01:13:53is just background noise
01:13:54on my way to the top.
01:14:08In the old era
01:14:09of the food industry,
01:14:10the exploiters believed
01:14:11that as long as
01:14:11they controlled the capital,
01:14:12they could run over skill
01:14:13and destroy a chef's soul.
01:14:14But the rise of sea mist
01:14:16is here to tell
01:14:16everyone in this room,
01:14:17I am rewriting the rules.
01:14:19The exploiters will
01:14:20eventually be abandoned
01:14:20by the times,
01:14:21but the craftsmen
01:14:21who protect the soul,
01:14:22they will be crowned kings.
01:14:24I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:14:25I was declaring war
01:14:26on this cold-blooded
01:14:27world of capital.
01:14:29A year ago,
01:14:29they were Percy's
01:14:30guests of honor,
01:14:31laughing as I got
01:14:32thrown out on my ass.
01:14:33Today,
01:14:34with sea mist standards,
01:14:35I've put a shackle
01:14:36called conscience
01:14:37around every single
01:14:38one of their necks.
01:14:39Grayson,
01:14:39sea mist group's valuation
01:14:40can no longer be measured
01:14:41by money.
01:14:41What is your next goal?
01:14:42My goal is to make sure
01:14:43there is no more soil
01:14:44in this world
01:14:44for a cancer like Percy
01:14:45to grow.
01:14:46I saw it in the eyes
01:14:47of those tycoons
01:14:48who once seemed untouchable,
01:14:49a fear they've never
01:14:50felt before.
01:14:51The underdog's rise
01:14:53isn't a myth,
01:14:53it's the judgment
01:14:54I wrote with my own hands.
01:14:58Grayson!
01:14:59I'm cooperating,
01:15:00I'll tell you everything.
01:15:01Three months ago,
01:15:02that maniac Percy
01:15:02bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:15:04He took high concentration
01:15:05harmful chemicals.
01:15:06Make it clear.
01:15:08He wants to destroy
01:15:09sea mist's air.
01:15:10He's planning to put
01:15:11harmful substances
01:15:11in that batch
01:15:12of special supply milk powder.
01:15:13I thought stripping him
01:15:14of his name
01:15:15and letting him rot
01:15:15in the gutter
01:15:16like a rat
01:15:16was my final act
01:15:17of mercy.
01:15:18But I underestimated
01:15:19how vicious
01:15:20a mad dog can be.
01:15:21He dared to reach
01:15:22his filthy hands
01:15:23towards my child.
01:15:24Leo,
01:15:25go take care of something.
01:15:27Please give your orders,
01:15:28Mr. Grayson.
01:15:29Mobilize the global
01:15:29legal team.
01:15:30Yes, sir.
01:15:31I want Percy
01:15:31to spend the rest
01:15:32of his life
01:15:32in the coldest,
01:15:33darkest prison cell
01:15:34they can find.
01:15:35Tell the warden,
01:15:36I don't want him dead.
01:15:37I want him to accidentally
01:15:38live to be 100
01:15:38every single day,
01:15:39surrounded by sickness
01:15:40and the torture
01:15:41of those creditors.
01:15:41Watching the glory
01:15:42of my sea mist restaurant
01:15:43shine in the sunlight,
01:15:45blinding him
01:15:45from behind those bars.
01:15:46Since he doesn't
01:15:47want to be human,
01:15:48I'll send him
01:15:48to real hell.
01:15:49I want him to live
01:15:50in endless regret,
01:15:51a dying flame
01:15:51in the depths of hell.
01:15:56Defendant Percy,
01:15:57on multiple counts,
01:15:58including food safety
01:15:59violations,
01:16:00attempted harm,
01:16:01malicious tempering,
01:16:02and massive fraud,
01:16:03you are hereby sentenced
01:16:04to life in prison
01:16:05without parole.
01:16:06No!
01:16:07I won't accept this!
01:16:08Grayson, you devil!
01:16:09You manipulated everything!
01:16:11A year ago,
01:16:12I begged him in the rain
01:16:13to leave mom and dad
01:16:13some money for their
01:16:14medical bees.
01:16:15He tore my dignity
01:16:16to shreds in public,
01:16:17and now he wants
01:16:18to talk about blood?
01:16:19The moment he reached
01:16:20for mom and dad's pension,
01:16:21the moment he reached
01:16:22for my baby's milk powder,
01:16:24he cut that vein
01:16:24with his own hands.
01:16:29Grayson,
01:16:30all that mess in Manhattan,
01:16:32it's finally over.
01:16:35We were blind back then.
01:16:37It was our fault.
01:16:38Mom, it's all in the past.
01:16:40I watched the relieved smiles
01:16:42on my parents' faces.
01:16:44Finally, they were free
01:16:45from that nightmare.
01:16:48Percy is counting lice
01:16:49in a cold prison cell.
01:16:51And my family?
01:16:53We're standing in the sunlight.
01:16:57He rewrote how this industry
01:16:59exploits people.
01:17:00He protected the soul
01:17:01of ingredients.
01:17:02Now let us welcome
01:17:03the world's top culinary leader,
01:17:05Grayson!
01:17:08Today,
01:17:09this trophy doesn't belong
01:17:10to me alone.
01:17:11It belongs to everyone.
01:17:12I'm not standing here
01:17:13to enjoy some empty fame.
01:17:14I'm here to issue
01:17:15the new C-Mist decree.
01:17:16These people,
01:17:17they were once exploited
01:17:18by Percy at Iron Mocker.
01:17:19I announced that C-Mist Group
01:17:20will set up a $1 billion
01:17:21support fund.
01:17:22Every front-line employee
01:17:23who suffered exploitation,
01:17:25as long as you pass
01:17:26the assessment,
01:17:26C-Mist will grant you
01:17:27the right to open
01:17:28a franchise free month.
01:17:29Long live Gracie!
01:17:30This is what a real slap
01:17:31in the face looks like.
01:17:33I'm going to make Percy
01:17:34watch on TV.
01:17:34All those people
01:17:36he called homeless bums
01:17:37are becoming millionaires
01:17:38under my wing.
01:17:39And him?
01:17:40He can't even afford
01:17:41a roll of toilet paper.
01:17:45Grayson,
01:17:45two-thirds of the
01:17:46Michelin restaurants
01:17:46around the world
01:17:47have already applied
01:17:48to join the C-Mist
01:17:49certification standard.
01:17:53Then let them
01:17:54wait in line.
01:17:55We make the rules.
01:17:58One year ago,
01:17:59I was at the other end
01:18:00of this city
01:18:00holding only $10,000
01:18:02the money I'd bled for.
01:18:03Now, this building
01:18:04beneath my feet,
01:18:05plus thousands of branches
01:18:06around the world,
01:18:06my net worth
01:18:07has exceeded $100 billion.
01:18:08And this Manhattan
01:18:09reeking of money,
01:18:10I use the most humble skills
01:18:12to level every injustice.
01:18:14What are you thinking about?
01:18:18I'm thinking,
01:18:19that poor kid
01:18:20who rented that $500 dump
01:18:22had pretty good taste.
01:18:25That was the best investment
01:18:27in the world.
01:18:28The name Percy
01:18:28has been burned to ash
01:18:29from the family tree
01:18:30and erased
01:18:31from this city's history.
01:18:32From now on,
01:18:33no more iron anchor
01:18:33in Manhattan,
01:18:34only C-Mist.
01:18:35Survival of the fittest
01:18:36was the old rule.
01:18:37My rule?
01:18:38Let the ones with soul
01:18:39rise to the top.
01:18:40I'm Gracie.
01:18:41The C-Mist era
01:18:41never ends.
