Now I Set The Table

Transcript

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

00:00:16my brother. I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down

00:00:22filthy restaurant right across from his. I started my own place. The second, my restaurant

00:00:28overtook Iron Anchor. Percy snapped. He smashed his own car hood. He just couldn't wrap his

00:00:34head around it. How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular

00:00:39place in town? Percy, 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.

00:01:04I 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 us

00:01:34solve a big problem. I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what customers

00:01:40really want. Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm

00:01:44calling the cops. Sorry, 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. I put in at least

00:02:00half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me. Ninety thousand of it was

00:02:06just him paying me back for the purchasing money. I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the

00:02:11money. Thanks. I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me. The citywide benchmark

00:02:17judging is in three days. The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi. Your sashimi

00:02:22is the most popular with customers. So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly

00:02:27part

00:02:27well. Okay. See you in three days. Good boy. I didn't say a word. Percy never thought I'd be that

00:02:37easy to brush off.

00:02:44And me. I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street. The one that couldn't

00:02:50keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up. Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess. Percy

00:02:56thought it was a dump. A place only bums would set foot in. Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant

00:03:04for 10 years. Takes goods to rent this spot, kid. Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor. You absolutely

00:03:09sure? I'm sure. I walked out after signing the papers, and across the street, Iron Anchor was

00:03:15already partying, getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival. What Percy didn't realize, that award in

00:03:21three days, it was about to turn into his worst nightmare. This rundown shop was hidden away. Filthy,

00:03:30pitch, dark. Thick layers of grease covered everything. I didn't complain, though, inside, I was actually

00:03:37pumped. Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump across the street again. He got out of

00:03:44his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it, laughing 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 have

00:04:00any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you? I ignored him. Percy started wandering around the

00:04:05restaurant on his own, even pulled out his phone, and went live, making exaggerated faces at the

00:04:11camera. Look at this, folks. Thick, nasty grease all over the tables. This place is so disgusting,

00:04:17I swear even a rat wouldn't come near it. Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a

00:04:23friendly

00:04:23pose for the camera. Grayson, I'm your older brother. I have to take care of you. You're always welcome

00:04:30back at Iron Archer. I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that

00:04:35kind of job is. After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied. He had to get ready for

00:04:42the mayor's visit. He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace. But one thing he would

00:04:47never understand, a restaurant's true essence is the food. And me, I stayed up late every night,

00:04:53cleaning the restaurant. It was already three in the morning when I got home. The light was still

00:05:00on. I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt. My face exhausted. I panicked.

00:05:06I 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. Honey, 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.

00:05:30I saw the news. The mayor is going to personally review Iron Archer. The restaurant you and Percy

00:05:37opened is really making money, big enough to even get the mayor's attention. Did he give you 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

00:05:58is yours. 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.

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. 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 all.

00:06:36What if I let Nia down? The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through

00:06:42my mind. I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection. I started

00:06:47doubting whether going solo was the right move or just a stupid decision made out of anger. I picked

00:06:52up the little notebook I've been keeping for years and sat down at the desk. It is filled with all

00:06:57kinds

00:06:57of customer info and preferences. I've recorded including the mayor's. I once sat in a high-end

00:07:02restaurant and carefully watched how he ate. What he left on his plate. This notebook gives me the

00:07:08confidence that comes from experience. Then suddenly, my phone rang. What did you say? Sea Mist Restaurant

00:07:17passed the qualification inspection? This 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 place,

00:07:33he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes. You should have gone out on your own a

00:07:37long time ago.

00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours. All he knows is flashy tricks.

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

00:07:59messing with 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 Anchor

00:08:10in person tomorrow. My dear little brother, I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like

00:08:16that. And make sure you bring your wife Mia. I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.

00:08:25Percy's laugh was full of contempt. He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way. Tomorrow

00:08:30was going to be his day to shine. And at an event like this, his little brother, the one foolish

00:08:35enough

00:08:35to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor would be the perfect person to compare himself

00:08:40to. I'll be there on time. Here's 10 bucks. Go park my car for me.

00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry venture. Percy was so sure

00:08:56of it that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future. But he overlooked me,

00:09:01a brother he'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.

00:09:12I could see the worry in her eyes. No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.

00:09:19Can't you see? He 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.

00:09:40Fine. I'll go with you.

00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet. He 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. This is my brother Grayson.

00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor and thinks he's going to compete with

00:10:06me.

00:10:07Percy said it like a joke. All 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.

00:10:45Grayson, 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.

00:11:12No 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, one 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, but 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, he 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.

00:12:10Percy 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, and you're still looking out for him.

00:12:47Of course.

00:12:48What 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.

00:13:14Can only be my sea mist restaurant.

00:13:16I raised my glass.

00:13:18A calm smile on my face.

00:13:19You're alright.

00:13:20Everything I do I learn from Percy.

00:13:22My 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.

00:14:03Percy 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.

00:14:41Grayson, 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 bluefit 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.

00:15:11Percy, you're going to regret everything you've done today.

00:15:15I 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,

00:15:45and the other is going to fade into obscurity.

00:15:48I watched very carefully.

00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning, and he even took the time to explain things to me.

00:15:54I smiled.

00:15:55With such lousy technique,

00:15:57that blue-fied tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile of ruined meat in his hands.

00:16:02And the mayor.

00:16:03He 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,

00:16:15chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world.

00:16:18He had no idea his restaurant was heading straight to hell.

00:16:21Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter.

00:16:24Meanwhile, the highest-quality bluefin tuna

00:16:27was being delivered to C. Mist Restaurant,

00:16:30where the expensive head chef I hired was handling the premium tuna,

00:16:34according 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

00:16:44couldn't even dream of reaching this level.

00:16:51Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream,

00:16:54let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother, Grayson.

00:16:58Never been smart.

00:16:59Only good for the dirty work in the back.

00:17:01He recently opened some dump called C-Mist right over there.

00:17:05If you ever feel like your stomach's too full

00:17:08and you need to throw up,

00:17:09feel free to go try his chemical waste.

00:17:14Percy, you're too soft.

00:17:16Having that guy across the street

00:17:18is polluting our whole neighborhood.

00:17:21Mr. 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

00:17:29and you think you can hand the mayor your business card?

00:17:31My restaurant is spotless

00:17:33and 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

00:18:02is 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.

00:18:29Otoro 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.

00:19:35Everyone, stay sharp.

00:19:39Yes!

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.

00:20:32The 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!

00:20:44You'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 a pathetic stray

00:21:02dog.

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.

00:21:12The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.

00:21:19This is the pride of Surla Streets?

00:21:22The 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.

00:21:51Damn it!

00:21:52You used rotten meat!

00:21:53That's why you're such a mess right now!

00:21:54Percy, you idiot!

00:21:55You just blew the entire war!

00:21:57No, no, no!

00:21:57It's not what you think!

00:21:58And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream

00:22:03in the entire city.

00:22:04Enough!

00:22:05I 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 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.

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.

00:23:07I 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.

00:23:30Percy, 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,

00:23:39they were his loyal supporters.

00:23:40The moment he fell,

00:23:41everyone wanted to kick him.

00:23:42While he was down,

00:23:43Mia 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,

00:23:52my chef should be here any second.

00:23:58Percy panicked.

00:23:59Iron Anchor was facing closure.

00:24:00And me,

00:24:01his worthless little brother,

00:24:02bringing in a chef

00:24:03with the very same cut of fish.

00:24:05Grayson!

00:24:05What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:24:07Mr. Mayor,

00:24:08before 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

00:24:14and stormed over to me,

00:24:15furious.

00:24:16That garbage from your $500 dump

00:24:18has 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,

00:24:26she hauled off and slapped Percy

00:24:27right across the face.

00:24:28Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face,

00:24:31you arrogant jerk!

00:24:33Three minutes ago,

00:24:34you were serving the mayor garbage.

00:24:35Whatever my husband has in that box

00:24:37is worth more than you

00:24:38and 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

00:24:50by a man with some composure.

00:24:52See Miss 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

00:25:20about my food.

00:25:21Because of this turnaround,

00:25:22the viewer count instantly skyrocketed

00:25:24by 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

00:25:41of a true gourmet

00:25:42in the presence of something transcendent.

00:25:45Percy always thought

00:25:46waving 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

00:25:59dissolves,

00:26:00it's melting on your tongue.

00:26:02Grayson, 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-Mist 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

00:26:24basic health and safety standards.

00:26:26Percy looked at me

00:26:27with that smug expression

00:26:28like he'd finally cornered the clown.

00:26:30Too bad.

00:26:31This time,

00:26:32the joke was on him.

00:26:33Save the pity, Grayson.

00:26:34I know you tried really hard

00:26:36to steal first place from me.

00:26:38Too bad.

00:26:39Trying isn't enough.

00:26:40You'll never surpass me,

00:26:41little brother.

00:26:42Mr. Mayor,

00:26:44it would be my honor

00:26:45to lead the way

00:26:46and show everyone

00:26:47this garbage-dimp Grayson

00:26:50calls a restaurant.

00:26:51That place has been closed for ages.

00:26:53I heard the last owner

00:26:54was so bitter.

00:26:55He poured cooking oil

00:26:56all over the floors

00:26:57on his way out.

00:26:57You can't even walk in there.

00:26:59That's right.

00:27:00And he left all kinds

00:27:00of expired food in there, too.

00:27:02It's probably a full-blown

00:27:03rat kingdom by now.

00:27:04What right does a dump like that

00:27:05have to call itself a restaurant?

00:27:07What do we do?

00:27:09Mr. Mayor,

00:27:10and everyone here,

00:27:12as the owner of

00:27:13Sea Mist Restaurant,

00:27:14I invite you all

00:27:14to come see it for yourselves.

00:27:16You idiot.

00:27:18Get ready to watch

00:27:18your precious restaurant

00:27:19get shut down.

00:27:21My dear fans,

00:27:22I'm about to show you

00:27:24the most chaotic,

00:27:25filthiest garbage dump

00:27:27on Surla Street.

00:27:28You cannot imagine

00:27:30how absolutely disgusting

00:27:32that place is.

00:27:35Percy,

00:27:36lying has consequences.

00:27:38It's totally fake.

00:27:39I guarantee you,

00:27:40behind this door,

00:27:40it's nothing but trash and stink.

00:27:42Just wait and see.

00:27:44Percy's smug smile

00:27:45kept growing,

00:27:46but all of that

00:27:46was about to come

00:27:47to 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

00:28:00has completely changed.

00:28:01It's so clean and tidy.

00:28:03Way more pleasant

00:28:04to look at

00:28:05than Iron Anchor's

00:28:06tacky, flashy decorations.

00:28:12Grayson,

00:28:13your taste is just

00:28:14as impressive

00:28:15as your food.

00:28:22Man,

00:28:23this place is cleaner

00:28:24than an operating room.

00:28:25I worked around the clock,

00:28:27kneeling on that filthy floor,

00:28:28scrubbing every single crack

00:28:30with a brush.

00:28:31Percy spent his money

00:28:31on those gaudy chandeliers

00:28:33that blind you.

00:28:34I spent mine

00:28:34on every little detail

00:28:35you can touch.

00:28:36This is all just for show!

00:28:37You can fake the decor,

00:28:39but you can't fake

00:28:40the ingredients!

00:28:43Grayson,

00:28:43you're broke!

00:28:44Your monthly rent

00:28:45is 500 bucks.

00:28:46How can you afford

00:28:47top-grade bluefit tuna?

00:28:49I bet that piece

00:28:50he just fed you

00:28:51was the only decent

00:28:52one he's got.

00:28:53His freezer must be packed

00:28:54with cheap frozen garbage.

00:28:56Trash

00:28:56will 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

00:29:10in all of New York

00:29:11can get their hands

00:29:12on these.

00:29:16Percy,

00:29:16take a good look.

00:29:17This is what you call

00:29:19garbage.

00:29:19No!

00:29:20You must have injected

00:29:21poison into these

00:29:21rotten fish!

00:29:22Sprayed them with chemicals!

00:29:23Who the hell

00:29:24is 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

00:29:34bother to remember

00:29:34my name.

00:29:35Percy,

00:29:36you're an absolute idiot.

00:29:39You're Iron Anchor's

00:29:40biggest 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

00:29:47who actually appreciate them!

00:29:49Mr. Mayor,

00:29:50I'm the largest

00:29:51seafood distributor

00:29:51in California.

00:29:52I hereby certify

00:29:54that all ingredients

00:29:55used by

00:29:55Seamist 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

00:30:03person about ingredients

00:30:05I've ever met.

00:30:06That's why I ended

00:30:07all my contracts

00:30:08with Iron Anchor

00:30:08for him.

00:30:10Are you insane?

00:30:11I give you

00:30:12millions of dollars

00:30:12a 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

00:30:26to steal my supplier

00:30:27and become my enemy?

00:30:29Don't you have

00:30:29any family loyalty

00:30:30at all?

00:30:31Percy.

00:30:34Percy,

00:30:35out of that hundred grand,

00:30:37ninety 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

00:30:48day and night.

00:30:49You thought you could

00:30:50buy my dignity.

00:30:50I'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

00:30:58went 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

00:31:06thousands of them

00:31:06to find this one.

00:31:08Percy wanted to

00:31:08keep arguing,

00:31:09but fate wasn't

00:31:10going to give him

00:31:11any more chances.

00:31:13Mr. Mayor,

00:31:14it's not just

00:31:14the ingredients.

00:31:15The entire interior

00:31:16of Iron Anchor

00:31:16is built with

00:31:17the cheapest,

00:31:17most flammable

00:31:18formalhyde-laden boards

00:31:19just painted over

00:31:19with a layer of gold.

00:31:20Iron Anchor

00:31:21is basically

00:31:21a poison gas chamber

00:31:22that would explode

00:31:23the second it touches fire.

00:31:27That's disgusting.

00:31:29All for show.

00:31:30Percy,

00:31:31get out of

00:31:31the restaurant industry.

00:31:34Mr. Mayor,

00:31:35I was wrong.

00:31:36I just wanted

00:31:37the restaurant

00:31:37to look better.

00:31:38You risk people's lives

00:31:40just to look good?

00:31:41Percy's tears

00:31:42rolled down

00:31:43his fake,

00:31:44lying face.

00:31:44He used to

00:31:45throw money

00:31:46in front of me

00:31:46and call me

00:31:47a country bumpin'

00:31:48who'd never seen

00:31:48the world.

00:31:49And now,

00:31:50that live-streaming empire

00:31:51he'd so carefully built

00:31:53was collapsing

00:31:54inch by inch

00:31:55in front of

00:31:55a global audience.

00:31:56I hereby declare

00:31:58Sea Mist Restaurant

00:31:59the industry

00:32:00benchmark restaurant

00:32:02for this year.

00:32:03Effective immediately,

00:32:05Iron Anchor's

00:32:06business license

00:32:07is permanently

00:32:08revoked.

00:32:09All assets

00:32:10are 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

00:32:19cockroach

00:32:20out of here.

00:32:28Grayson!

00:32:29Save me!

00:32:30You're my own

00:32:31little brother.

00:32:31Your restaurant

00:32:32is right across

00:32:33the 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

00:32:40a show for his

00:32:40live 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

00:32:46word for me.

00:32:47You can't let them

00:32:48close my place.

00:32:48That's everything I've got!

00:32:50Everything you've got,

00:32:51Percy?

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

00:32:59and 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

00:33:06worth 2,000 bucks.

00:33:07You said a homeless guy

00:33:08off the street

00:33:08could replace him.

00:33:09A 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,

00:33:17blew 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-Mist 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-Mist 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-Mist

00:34:03agrees to be our partner.

00:34:04Three hours ago,

00:34:05these same people

00:34:06watched Percy

00:34:06humiliate me

00:34:07in 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,

00:34:10they're willing to pay double

00:34:11just to beg me

00:34:12for a partnership.

00:34:13C-Mist 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

00:34:26and sales channels!

00:34:27Get lost!

00:34:27This opportunity is mine!

00:34:29I'm going to buy something!

00:34:33With the mayor's endorsement

00:34:34and the title

00:34:35of industry benchmark restaurant,

00:34:37C-Mist was splattered

00:34:38all over countless posters.

00:34:40Customers poured

00:34:41into C-Mist 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-Mist 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.

00:35:37At 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,

00:35:46signing 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 tuxedo

00:36:31was caked with grime.

00:36:33He was too afraid

00:36:34to go home

00:36:34because all the partners

00:36:36he'd arrogantly signed

00:36:37with 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.

00:37:04If I don't see that money

00:37:05by tomorrow morning,

00:37:05you can go feed the fish

00:37:07in the Hudson River.

00:37:13Percy,

00:37:14this is James

00:37:14from Seafood Logistics.

00:37:16That industry benchmark prize

00:37:17you 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,

00:37:23I'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 to ask

00:37:44for 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

00:37:59a line cook.

00:38:00It was losing

00:38:01his only brain

00:38:02and 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

00:38:08Sea Mist Restaurant,

00:38:10glowing with lights,

00:38:11and finally broke down

00:38:12sobbing.

00:38:14I was wrong.

00:38:16Grayson,

00:38:17I was really wrong.

00:38:23Time to pay up.

00:38:27Hear my love.

00:38:31No, no.

00:38:33Grayson,

00:38:33help me.

00:38:34Help me.

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

00:39:01don'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

00:39:07alone equals

00:39:08his entire net profit

00:39:09from 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 $6 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

00:39:22is 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.

00:39:38And 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 out

00:39:50of that tiny rental apartment

00:39:51and bought the best estate

00:39:52in the city.

00:39:53Mr. Grayson,

00:39:54this is the most private estate

00:39:55in the entire city.

00:39:56It comes with its own helipad

00:39:57and a top of the security system.

00:39:59Do you like it?

00:40:00The sunlight here is 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,

00:40:14I bought the estate

00:40:15that Percy never even dared

00:40:16to dream of stepping foot in.

00:40:18And him?

00:40:19He's hiding in some dark corner,

00:40:21running from the creditors.

00:40:22The 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, Mr. 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.

00:40:38Percy failed

00:40:39because he looked at his customers

00:40:40and saw cash cows.

00:40:41I succeeded

00:40:43because I treat food

00:40:44like a religion.

00:40:45Expanding the business

00:40:46isn't about hoarding money.

00:40:48It'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

00:41:00always wanted

00:41:00to take over for 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?

00:41:28Turn 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

00:41:40should have given him

00:41:41long 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

00:42:14had 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.

00:42:39Old 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 and don't bring

00:42:46that stench

00:42:46into our office.

00:42:48Reputation takes

00:42:49a year to build

00:42:50and one plate

00:42:50of rotten Otoro 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

00:43:39by my side is 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

00:43:48junk of money

00:43:49from the neighbors.

00:43:50My parents called me

00:43:51to handle it.

00:43:52I bought the most

00:43:53expensive estate

00:43:54in Manhattan,

00:43:55a place with a garden

00:43:56bigger than

00:43:56Percy's entire 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

00:44:13ten 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

00:44:17heart 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

00:44:21drive 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

00:44:28your own brother die?

00:44:29Dad, 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

00:44:52the neighbors.

00:44:52As for you,

00:44:53Percy,

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

00:44:59at a height

00:44:59he would never reach

00:45:00and he was down

00:45:02on 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!

00:45:51A piece of trash like you

00:45:52dares to call him your brother!

00:45:53He just issued a statement

00:45:54in 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 for help

00:46:11echoed as the debtkeepers

00:46:13dragged him into the shadows.

00:46:14Please!

00:46:15Go tell those guys

00:46:17don't let any blood

00:46:18get spilled

00:46:18in front of my restaurant

00:46:19and make it quick.

00:46:21Yes, Mr. 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 on

00:46:50the new company.

00:46:50I left that loser, Percy,

00:46:52because 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,

00:47:03just like I knew

00:47:03everything about Percy.

00:47:05Lisa, you sure knew Percy.

00:47:06You knew exactly

00:47:07how to kick him

00:47:08when he was down.

00:47:09And you know exactly

00:47:10how 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,

00:47:14but we are looking

00:47:15for a cleaner

00:47:16to take out the trash.

00:47:17But take a look

00:47:18at your clothes.

00:47:18I doubt you could even

00:47:19hold a rag, Stady.

00:47:20Get this piece

00:47:21of cheap,

00:47:22perfumed garbage

00:47:22out of here.

00:47:23From today on,

00:47:24if she shows up

00:47:25within a kilometer

00:47:26of sea mist,

00:47:26call 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

00:47:36her pathetic retreat.

00:47:37In the eyes

00:47:38of opportunists like 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,

00:47:47she 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

00:48:14Mia to be your wife,

00:48:15to cherish her

00:48:17in both poverty

00:48:17and wealth?

00:48:18I do.

00:48:21Today,

00:48:22all those wealthy

00:48:23socialets who used

00:48:24to mock us

00:48:25as the poor couple

00:48:26are sitting right there

00:48:28in the audience,

00:48:29applauding us

00:48:30with 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 Deck Kaluers

00:48:42broke my fingers.

00:48:43I'm in the alley

00:48:44right outside the church.

00:48:45Please,

00:48:46just give me 50,000

00:48:47one 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 pushover

00:49:10either.

00:49:12Kindness needs teeth,

00:49:13or it means nothing.

00:49:23That was mine.

00:49:25That should have been mine.

00:49:26That six million dollars,

00:49:28the fame,

00:49:29the woman,

00:49:30all 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.

00:49:45He's got billions.

00:49:46Go kill him.

00:49:47Kill him and all that

00:49:47money becomes mine.

00:49:49Kill him?

00:49:50Grayson is the mayor's

00:49:51right hand gun now.

00:49:52He's got thousands

00:49:53of bodyguards.

00:49:54But you,

00:49:55your eyeballs are worth

00:49:56something.

00:49:56How about we take them

00:49:57as interest first?

00:50:01Grayson,

00:50:02you think you've won?

00:50:03Your woman's about

00:50:04to give birth, right?

00:50:05You're going to regret this.

00:50:07I'm going to destroy

00:50:08your happiness.

00:50:09Completely.

00:50:10I thought he would just

00:50:11wither away in his despair.

00:50:14I underestimated

00:50:15how deeply greed

00:50:16and jealousy

00:50:16can twist and reverse

00:50:18the 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 let me

00:50:35freeze 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 money

00:50:43around 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 elderly

00:50:50parents to play

00:50:51the guilt card.

00:50:52That kind of

00:50:54disgusts me

00:50:54even more than

00:50:55that plate of

00:50:56rotten motosushi.

00:51:02Brother!

00:51:03Save me!

00:51:04Just transfer

00:51:0410%

00:51:06of C-Miss 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.

00:51:15He still has

00:51:16the strength

00:51:17to beg.

00:51:17He still has

00:51:18the strength

00:51:18to come here.

00:51:19He's perfectly

00:51:20capable of pulling

00:51:21himself out

00:51:21of this mess.

00:51:23You cold-blooded

00:51:24freak!

00:51:32You tried to hurt

00:51:34your own little

00:51:34brother?

00:51:36Mom, dad,

00:51:38this is the son

00:51:39you 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!

00:52:07Mom!

00:52:08No!

00:52:09No!

00:52:10No!

00:52:13That hopeless

00:52:14bastard.

00:52:15Grayson,

00:52:16it was our fault

00:52:17for asking you

00:52:17to help him.

00:52:19Don't worry

00:52:20about it, Mom.

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

00:52:30had Mom and Dad's

00:52:31life savings.

00:52:32They're only

00:52:32retirement money!

00:52:35I thought

00:52:36Percy would just

00:52:37crawl into some

00:52:37corner and wait

00:52:38to die after

00:52:39being exposed.

00:52:40I underestimated

00:52:41how desperate

00:52:42a gambler

00:52:42with nothing

00:52:43left to loss

00:52:44can 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

00:52:55of a comeback.

00:52:58Grayson,

00:52:59we found him.

00:53:00Percy is hooked up

00:53:01with an underground

00:53:02factory 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

00:53:09his way back

00:53:09into 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 medical 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

00:53:35him pay.

00:53:37Before,

00:53:37I just wanted

00:53:38to see him

00:53:39broken on the streets.

00:53:40Now,

00:53:41I'm going to

00:53:41take him out myself.

00:53:49Talk!

00:53:50What did that

00:53:51ungrateful bastard

00:53:51give you?

00:53:52How dare you

00:53:53call him the

00:53:54most conscientious

00:53:55chef in Manhattan

00:53:56on livestream?

00:53:57He was about

00:53:58to pass out

00:53:59from 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.

00:54:16Touch that hand

00:54:16and see what happens.

00:54:18Grayson!

00:54:19You think just because

00:54:20you're some big shot

00:54:21now, you're untouchable?

00:54:22This old man

00:54:23insulted me.

00:54:24I'll kill him.

00:54:28Oh, my hand!

00:54:30Grayson, you crazy

00:54:31bastard!

00:54:32That one's for the burger.

00:54:35My rule is simple.

00:54:36A 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

00:54:48on the Upper 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.

00:54:59This 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,

00:55:04watching the trash

00:55:05he'd just been kicking

00:55:06suddenly become

00:55:06a property owner

00:55:07he'd only ever dreamt.

00:55:09Jealousy and

00:55:10pain and joke

00:55:10have happened to me.

00:55:16You just wait!

00:55:20While I sat atop

00:55:21Sea Mist restaurant,

00:55:23enjoying 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

00:55:31comeback.

00:55:32Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:55:35You see in this?

00:55:37This is what

00:55:37real charity

00:55:38looks 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

00:55:57on 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

00:56:04the 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

00:56:11a comeback.

00:56:12He was knight.

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

00:56:19supply chain.

00:56:25Grayson,

00:56:26you came to laugh

00:56:26at me?

00:56:27Look!

00:56:28Look at all

00:56:29these people in 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,

00:56:40inform 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!

00:56:56What?

00:56:57Not just the big suppliers?

00:56:58Even the small workshops

00:56:59are canceling?

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

00:57:45to go under

00:57:45and I'm the one

00:57:46who pulled him out.

00:57:48Your filthy money

00:57:48couldn't even buy back

00:57:49the life I saved

00:57:50for him back then.

00:57:52When I save someone,

00:57:53loyalty is in their blood.

00:57:56Percy's blood?

00:57:57It's pure,

00:57:58rotting greed.

00:58:00Trying to buy loyalty

00:58:01with filthy garbage

00:58:02like that is basically

00:58:03him executing

00:58:04whatever intelligence

00:58:05he had left.

00:58:07Tell me,

00:58:08if you drank that stuff

00:58:10you cooked up yourself,

00:58:11what do you think

00:58:11would happen?

00:58:13No.

00:58:15No.

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

00:58:22my basement.

00:58:25Send him back.

00:58:27Crawling in the mud,

00:58:28that's the only thing

00:58:28that suits him.

00:58:29He took a step

00:58:30against me,

00:58:31so I'll make sure

00:58:31he never walks

00:58:32straight again.

00:58:33His dignity?

00:58:34I've stomped it

00:58:35straight into the gutter.

00:58:39starting today,

00:58:41the C-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

00:58:55to rebuild,

00:58:56not to take revenge.

00:58:58I wanted these

00:58:59honest people to know

00:59:00follow Grayson

00:59:01and even a vegetable seller

00:59:03can stand tall

00:59:04and make money

00:59:05right here in Manhattan.

00:59:10Hurry up.

00:59:11Just give me some bread.

00:59:12I'm starving.

00:59:13Here.

00:59:14Mr. Grayson

00:59:14specifically asked

00:59:15for this

00:59:16for some special people.

00:59:18Three-day-old

00:59:19stale 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

00:59:35the hook yet.

00:59:36That illegal

00:59:37factory's poison?

00:59:39Time for you

00:59:40to take a sip yourself.

00:59:46Everyone,

00:59:47C-Mist restaurant's

00:59:48so-called

00:59:49natural ingredients

00:59:50are nothing but

00:59:51a lie for 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

01:00:03costs only 1%

01:00:04of C-Mistis

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

01:00:16who skate just inside the law

01:00:17trying to define great food

01:00:18with cheap-muckle garbage.

01:00:19He doesn't understand.

01:00:21Real top-tier ingredients

01:00:22are a gift from the earth

01:00:23and the sun,

01:00:23not some molecular

01:00:24arrangement in a lab.

01:00:30Today,

01:00:31the C-Mist group

01:00:31will roll out

01:00:32the global

01:00:32restaurant platinum standard.

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 wild bist

01:00:40for 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

01:00:52trying 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,

01:01:02he'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, tell the people

01:01:13next door

01:01:14that my press conference

01:01:15is over.

01:01:16Now,

01:01:17it's time to take out

01:01:19the 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 formula

01:02:06for your synthetic meat.

01:02:09There's a high dose

01:02:10of neuro-blockers in 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,

01:02:30the 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.

01:02:43He 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 after all.

01:03:04Grayson,

01:03:05could you maybe...

01:03:06be...

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!

01:03:31Do 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.

01:03:38I don't have a son

01:03:40like you anymore.

01:03:41Percy,

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.

01:03:49Starting 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 out.

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 dismantations,

01:04:20rules are just

01:04:20a cover-up

01:04:21for his greed.

01:04:22A year ago,

01:04:23Percy stood at

01:04:23a family gathering

01:04:24and 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

01:04:31his lies with my own hands.

01:04:33He thought being family

01:04:34would save him,

01:04:34like a free pass.

01:04:36What he didn't know

01:04:36is that before

01:04:37absolute rules,

01:04:38every single betrayal

01:04:39comes with a price.

01:04:41First crime,

01:04:41exploitation.

01:04:42In the three years

01:04:43at Iron Anchor,

01:04:44he withheld $90,000

01:04:45of my front

01:04:46propyorkant payment

01:04:46and treated me

01:04:47like cheap liber.

01:04:48Second crime,

01:04:49poisoning.

01:04:50He colluded with

01:04:50chemical companies

01:04:51and added nerve-blocking

01:04:52agents to 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

01:05:07one,

01:05:08embezzlement.

01:05:08While our parents

01:05:09were in the hospital,

01:05:10he stole their pension

01:05:11and mortgaged

01:05:12the 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

01:05:22are hot.

01:05:22The moment those

01:05:23four crimes came 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

01:05:30to say for 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.

01:05:59100 billion dollars.

01:06:00I don't just control

01:06:01one-third of the top-tier

01:06:02supply gen.

01:06:03I also have the industry 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

01:06:12of capital,

01:06:13it 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,

01:06:24100 billion?

01:06:25Grayson,

01:06:26you did this

01:06:26in just one year?

01:06:28Please,

01:06:28Mr. Grayson,

01:06:29take your place

01:06:30as the head of the family.

01:06:31That's mine!

01:06:32That was supposed

01:06:33to 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

01:06:49to 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

01:07:03carry the 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 it.

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

01:07:24means 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.

01:07:57I looked up at 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 away

01:08:12like garbage.

01:08:13Right now,

01:08:14you're worse than the rats

01:08:15this 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 of billions!

01:08:27He could pluck a hair

01:08:28off his body

01:08:29and it would be enough

01:08:30to pay you all back.

01:08:35In Manhattan,

01:08:36the highest form of rejection

01:08:37isn'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 gonna chop me up

01:08:55and feed me to the face!

01:08:56Give me a million!

01:08:57No, 500,000!

01:08:58Just that much!

01:08:59What do you mean?

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 what it's like

01:09:22when that money becomes

01:09:23a pile of stones

01:09:24crushing his spine.

01:09:34Percy,

01:09:34this is the money you 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

01:09:58as 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

01:10:48into 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 helping Percy

01:11:17handle all that rotten

01:11:18and dirty 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 following 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 to cutting vegetables.

01:11:48Joss,

01:11:49you're way too naive.

01:11:50You've been blacklisted

01:11:51by the entire restaurant,

01:11:52industry.

01:11:53No!

01:12:05New York is just

01:12:06the beginning.

01:12:11Grayson,

01:12:12look how soundly

01:12:13the baby is sleeping.

01:12:15He'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 love

01:12:32in 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

01:12:40is worth a fortune,

01:12:42but 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 been

01:12:47my 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 for that

01:13:18hard bread you gave me

01:13:19back then,

01:13:20I wouldn't have made it

01:13:21until Seamist opened.

01:13:22On behalf of the

01:13:23Seamist 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

01:13:32institute need

01:13:33any logistics staff?

01:13:34We haven't been

01:13:35doing 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

01:13:40fit to clean your toilets.

01:13:41That was a joke.

01:13:43Grayson,

01:13:43we'd take any job,

01:13:44even a janitor

01:13:45at the research institute.

01:13:47Tell HR

01:13:48every single position

01:13:48at the research institute

01:13:49from security

01:13:50to cleaning staff

01:13:51to the guys

01:13:51mowing the lawn

01:13:52I have to interview

01:13:52them 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

01:13:57their 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

01:14:08a 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

01:14:15detected.

01:14:15Persing.

01:14:16Permission level

01:14:17permanently banned.

01:14:21Get lost!

01:14:22Every single

01:14:23business under

01:14:24sea mist,

01:14:25even our trash dump

01:14:26won't take scum

01:14:27like you!

01:14:32Grayson!

01:14:33You can't do this

01:14:34to me!

01:14:35I'm your own brother!

01:14:37I bought up

01:14:38all the trash

01:14:38processing 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

01:14:47who 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.

01:14:53The AI recognition

01:14:53system upgrade

01:14:55looks good.

01:14:55Give the tech department

01:14:57a bonus.

01:14:58The struggles

01:14:59of a clown like this

01:15:00aren't even worth

01:15:00a second of my anger

01:15:01anymore.

01:15:02His misery is just

01:15:03background noise

01:15:04on my way to the top.

01:15:18In the old era of the food industry,

01:15:19the exploiters believed

01:15:20that as long as

01:15:21they controlled 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 world

01:15:37of capital.

01:15:38A year ago,

01:15:39they were Percy's guests

01:15:40of 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 group's 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

01:15:53there is no more soil

01:15:53in this world

01:15:54for a cancer like Percy to grow.

01:15:55I saw it,

01:15:56in 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.

01:16:11Three 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

01:16:18sea mist's air.

01:16:20He'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 to spend

01:16:41the rest of his life

01:16:42in the coldest, darkest 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 every single day,

01:16:49surrounded by sickness

01:16:49and the torture of those creditors.

01:16:51Watching the glory

01:16:51of my sea mist restaurant

01:16:53shine in the sunlight.

01:16:54Blinding him from behind those bars.

01:16:56Since he doesn't want to be human,

01:16:57I'll send him to real hell.

01:16:58I want him to live

01:16:59in endless regret,

01:17:00a 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

01:17:23for their medical 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,

01:17:41it'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,

01:17:54they 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

01:18:11of ingredients.

01:18:11Now let us welcome

01:18:12the world's top culinary leader,

01:18:14Grayson!

01:18:17Today,

01:18:18this trophy doesn't belong

01:18:19to 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 CMIS decree.

01:18:26These people,

01:18:26they were once exploited

01:18:27by Percy at Iron Locker.

01:18:28I announced that CMIS 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,

01:18:36CMIS will grant you

01:18:37the right to open

01:18:37a franchise free mail.

01:18:38Come on with Grayson!

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

01:18:45who 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,

01:18:54two-thirds of the

01:18:55Michelin restaurants

01:18:56around the world

01:18:56have already applied

01:18:57to join the CMIS

01:18:58certification standard.

01:19:02Then let them

01:19:03wait 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,

01:19:19I used 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

01:19:36investment in the world.

01:19:37The name Percy

01:19:38has been burned to ash

01:19:39from 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 sea mist.

01:19:45Survival 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 Gracie.

01:19:50The sea mist era

01:19:51never ends.
