00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago. Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million
00:00:06in one year. But me? He gave me only a hundred grand. A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a
00:00:12month. I gave you a hundred grand. And only because you're my brother.
00:00:18I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from
00:00:25his. I started my own place. The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped. He smashed his own car
00:00:33hood. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular
00:00:39place in town?
00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook. $2,000 a month. Business blew up this year. We cleared
00:00:526 mil. Here's your share.
00:00:59I took it and counted. Only a hundred thousand. Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit. I put up
00:01:04the money for this restaurant. I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:09You're just a line cook. Any bum off the street could do your job. If you weren't my brother, you
00:01:13wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:17For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.
00:01:22Okay, I want to tell you about my restaurant. Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you about my
00:01:26restaurant.
00:01:29Thank you for providing such high-quality ingredients. You really helped us solve a big problem.
00:01:36I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what customers really want.
00:01:41Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm calling the cops.
00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.
00:01:50And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle and camps out in front of his live stream.
00:01:55Five people, always the same five, making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.
00:02:05Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:09I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.
00:02:11Thanks.
00:02:12I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.
00:02:16The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.
00:02:19The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.
00:02:22Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:24So make sure you have a Blue Fit Tuna ready and cut the belly part well.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:32See you in three days.
00:02:34Good boy.
00:02:35I didn't say a word.
00:02:36Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.
00:02:45And me.
00:02:46I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street.
00:02:49The one that couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up.
00:02:53Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.
00:02:56Percy thought it was a dump.
00:02:57A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.
00:03:05Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.
00:03:07Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor.
00:03:09You absolutely sure?
00:03:10I'm sure.
00:03:11I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.
00:03:17Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:19What Percy didn't realize.
00:03:20That a ward in three days.
00:03:22It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:27This rundown shop was hidden away.
00:03:29Filthy.
00:03:30Pitch.
00:03:31Dark.
00:03:31Thick layers of grease.
00:03:33Covered everything.
00:03:34I didn't complain.
00:03:35Though, inside.
00:03:36I was actually pumped.
00:03:39Percy quickly realized.
00:03:41Someone had rented that dump across the street again.
00:03:44He got out of his fancy car.
00:03:45Saw it was me.
00:03:46And just lost it.
00:03:47Laughing so hard he could barely stand.
00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot.
00:03:55I gave you $100,000 and you blow it on this rat hole?
00:04:00Don't you have any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him.
00:04:04Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.
00:04:07Even pulled out his phone and went live.
00:04:09Making exaggerated faces at the camera.
00:04:12Look at this, folks.
00:04:13Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.
00:04:16This place is so disgusting.
00:04:18I swear even a rat wouldn't come near it.
00:04:20Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.
00:04:25Grayson, I'm your older brother.
00:04:27I have to take care of you.
00:04:29You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.
00:04:32I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that kind of job
00:04:36is.
00:04:37After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.
00:04:41He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:46But one thing he would never understand.
00:04:49A restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:51And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already 3 in the morning when I got home.
00:05:00The light was still on.
00:05:01I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt.
00:05:04My face exhausted.
00:05:06I panicked.
00:05:07I didn't want my family to worry.
00:05:08But I knew I had to face it eventually.
00:05:14My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:05:16Honey, what happened?
00:05:18Why are you so late?
00:05:19Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.
00:05:21I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:25Mia looked uneasy.
00:05:27She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:30I saw the news.
00:05:32The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.
00:05:35The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.
00:05:39Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:05:42Did he give you any of it?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:45He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:47Only a hundred grand?
00:05:48The news said the place cleared six million.
00:05:51That's not fair.
00:05:52You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.
00:05:57At least half of the credit is yours.
00:05:59How could he do this to you?
00:06:01Mia, calm down.
00:06:03Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds.
00:06:06Why are you still working for him?
00:06:10I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:06:14I support whatever decision you make.
00:06:21Here's twenty grand.
00:06:22Go all in, Grayson.
00:06:24The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:28I won't let you down.
00:06:29I swear.
00:06:30The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.
00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:36What if I let Nia down?
00:06:38The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.
00:06:42I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.
00:06:46I started doubting whether going solo was the right move,
00:06:49or just a stupid decision made out of anger.
00:06:51I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years,
00:06:54and sat down at the desk.
00:06:56It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.
00:06:59I've recorded including the mayor's.
00:07:01I once sat in a high-end restaurant,
00:07:03and carefully watched how he ate.
00:07:05What he left on his plate.
00:07:07This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:07:11Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:14What did you say?
00:07:16Sea Mist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:07:28I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:07:30He'd always seen my potential.
00:07:31And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,
00:07:33he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.
00:07:36You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:07:41All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:07:45I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.
00:07:48If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,
00:07:51he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest supplier.
00:07:55Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance.
00:07:57Too bad.
00:07:58All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream
00:08:02that never gets more than five people.
00:08:04He didn't recognize him at all.
00:08:06Don't say I never give you a chance.
00:08:08The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:08:12My dear little brother,
00:08:13I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:08:17And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:08:20I swear,
00:08:21she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:08:26Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:08:28He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:08:30Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.
00:08:32And at an event like this,
00:08:34his little brother,
00:08:35the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,
00:08:38would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:08:40I'll be there on time.
00:08:44Here's ten bucks.
00:08:46Go park my car for me.
00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry bench player.
00:08:55Percy was so sure of it,
00:08:56that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:09:00But he overlooked me.
00:09:01A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:09:04Insignificant.
00:09:05Obedient.
00:09:06Beneath notice.
00:09:08When I got home,
00:09:09I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.
00:09:13I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:09:15No, Grayson,
00:09:16you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.
00:09:19Can't you see?
00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work,
00:09:22and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:25Mia,
00:09:25I've already decided to go.
00:09:28If he tries to embarrass me,
00:09:30I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:35A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:09:38Fine.
00:09:40I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:47He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up,
00:09:52his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:54Look,
00:09:55there's my little brother.
00:09:57Ha ha ha.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all.
00:10:00This is my brother Grayson.
00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor
00:10:05and thinks he's going to compete with me.
00:10:07Ha ha ha.
00:10:08Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:09All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:10:12Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:18You know what Percy nets a year?
00:10:20Six million dollars.
00:10:22You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.
00:10:25You really should just stick with your brother.
00:10:27That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.
00:10:31Don't mind them Grayson.
00:10:33What they said was harsh,
00:10:34but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough.
00:10:39You're all way out of line.
00:10:41The truth is,
00:10:42he's better than every one of you.
00:10:45Grayson,
00:10:46control 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.
00:11:01You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief.
00:11:05He never expected that after being humiliated like that.
00:11:08Grayson, what are you doing here?
00:11:08I'd still be able to hand out my business card.
00:11:11Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:13No one took it.
00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?
00:11:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:21I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:23I swear,
00:11:24one day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:32These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:35Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:39I could see right through it.
00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before,
00:11:43but the ingredients had changed.
00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money,
00:11:48but he doesn't understand his customers.
00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:52Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences,
00:11:56he can never make the perfect dish.
00:11:59At the table,
00:12:00the guests could already tell something was off with the food,
00:12:03but because they were so eager to flatter Percy,
00:12:06they chose to ignore it.
00:12:07The mayor's personal inspection
00:12:08is the highest honor in the industry.
00:12:11Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year,
00:12:15how much money he'd made.
00:12:17Mia was so upset,
00:12:18she couldn't even eat.
00:12:19The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.
00:12:22But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:23He brought me up again.
00:12:26Grayson,
00:12:26once Iron Anchor takes over the world,
00:12:28you can still come back.
00:12:31I mean,
00:12:32you don't have much skill,
00:12:33just good for a few simple little jobs.
00:12:36But,
00:12:36you are my little brother after all.
00:12:39Percy,
00:12:39you're such a good man.
00:12:41Your brother has a death wish
00:12:42opening a restaurant right across from you,
00:12:44and you're still looking out for him.
00:12:47Of course.
00:12:49What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?
00:12:52Without Percy,
00:12:54he's nothing.
00:12:57I was furious.
00:12:58All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.
00:13:01No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:13:04Percy 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
00:13:29and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson,
00:13:33get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:36Even though you had the nerve to leave me,
00:13:38I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:40And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:43Percy finished talking
00:13:45and 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,
00:13:58I went through hell to land the supplier
00:14:00with 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.
00:14:22This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control,
00:14:27but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:32Grayson, step aside.
00:14:35The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:42Grayson,
00:14:42you just stand aside and watch.
00:14:45Even for a line cook,
00:14:46you'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
00:14:52only to humiliate me
00:14:54with the new hire
00:14:55to prove I was good for nothing.
00:14:58But he had no idea
00:14:59how complicated bluefin tuna is.
00:15:02Without real knife skills,
00:15:03you can't handle it properly.
00:15:06Especially a piece of cheap,
00:15:08low-quality tuna like this.
00:15:10Percy,
00:15:12you'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,
00:15:19how is he going to support you
00:15:20and the baby in your belly?
00:15:21That failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:27I'll learn from him.
00:15:29After today,
00:15:31one of us will be famous
00:15:31and the other
00:15:32will be a nobody.
00:15:37Grayson,
00:15:37I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:41That is right.
00:15:42After today,
00:15:43one of us
00:15:44is going to take over the world
00:15:45and the other
00:15:46is going to fade
00:15:47into obscurity.
00:15:49I watched very carefully.
00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning
00:15:52and he even took the time
00:15:53to explain things to me.
00:15:54I smiled.
00:15:55With such lousy technique,
00:15:57that blue-fied tuna
00:15:58was going to end up
00:15:59as nothing but a pile
00:15:59of ruined meat
00:16:00in his hands.
00:16:01And,
00:16:02the mayor.
00:16:04He hates nothing more
00:16:05than being handed
00:16:06low-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
00:16:16like he was king
00:16:17of the world.
00:16:18He had no idea
00:16:19his restaurant
00:16:19was heading straight to hell.
00:16:21Joss walked up
00:16:22carrying a covered platter.
00:16:24Meanwhile,
00:16:25the highest quality
00:16:26bluefin tuna
00:16:27was being delivered
00:16:28to Sea Mist Restaurant
00:16:30where the expensive
00:16:31head chef I hired
00:16:32was handling the premium tuna
00:16:34according to the methods
00:16:35written in my notebook.
00:16:36My dear fans,
00:16:37it's showtime!
00:16:38The mayor is here!
00:16:40Today I'll show the world
00:16:41true top-tier cooking.
00:16:42Some bottom-fleeling trash
00:16:44running a cheap diner
00:16:45couldn't even dream
00:16:45of reaching this level.
00:16:51Mr. Mayor,
00:16:52and everyone watching
00:16:53in the live stream,
00:16:54let me introduce you
00:16:55to my good-for-nothing
00:16:56little brother,
00:16:57Grayson.
00:16:58Never been smart.
00:16:59Only good for the dirty
00:17:00work in the back.
00:17:01He recently opened
00:17:02some dump called
00:17:03Sea Mist right over there.
00:17:06If you ever feel like
00:17:07your stomach's too full
00:17:08and you need to throw up,
00:17:09feel free to go try
00:17:11his chemical waste.
00:17:14Percy,
00:17:15you're too soft.
00:17:16Having that guy
00:17:17across the street
00:17:18is polluting
00:17:19our whole neighborhood.
00:17:21Mr. Mayor,
00:17:22here's my card.
00:17:23I'm good at making
00:17:23otoyu sushi.
00:17:24Are you crazy?
00:17:26A little place
00:17:27that can't even fit
00:17:28two people in the bathroom
00:17:29and you think you can
00:17:30hand the mayor
00:17:31your business card?
00:17:32My restaurant is spotless
00:17:33and my ingredients
00:17:34are the best.
00:17:36I don't think
00:17:37square footage
00:17:38determines quality.
00:17:39Grayson,
00:17:40stop embarrassing
00:17:42yourself here.
00:17:45Young man,
00:17:47you have something
00:17:48those greedy
00:17:48businessmen don't.
00:17:49You're calm.
00:17:50I like that.
00:17:52The mayor sure
00:17:53has a sense of humor.
00:17:55He's just teaching
00:17:56the young generation
00:17:57to stay humble.
00:17:59Grayson,
00:18:00the only reason
00:18:00the mayor hasn't
00:18:01kicked you out
00:18:02is out of respect
00:18:02for me.
00:18:04Stop any of your
00:18:05pathetic delusions.
00:18:14Please take a seat.
00:18:26Mr. Mayor,
00:18:27this is our signature dish,
00:18:29otoro sushi.
00:18:30I promise you'll love it.
00:18:34Iron Anchor's
00:18:35otoro sushi
00:18:36is one of a kind,
00:18:37Mr. Mayor.
00:18:37I guarantee you'll
00:18:38fall for it.
00:18:39The knife work,
00:18:40the technique,
00:18:41absolutely flawless.
00:18:43In the past,
00:18:45the otoro sushi
00:18:45really was
00:18:46one of a kind.
00:18:48But this time,
00:18:49without top quality
00:18:51ingredients
00:18:51and skilled knife work,
00:18:53the only thing
00:18:53coming out of that kitchen
00:18:54is a one of a kind
00:18:56piece of garbage.
00:19:19Oh my god,
00:19:20what the hell
00:19:21is that garbage?
00:19:23At that same moment,
00:19:25the otoro sushi
00:19:26I prepared
00:19:26was being carefully
00:19:27packed up
00:19:28and was already
00:19:29on its way.
00:19:30We are about to serve
00:19:32the very first dish
00:19:33from Seamist restaurant.
00:19:36Everyone,
00:19:37stay sharp.
00:19:39Yes!
00:19:53Percy's prized
00:19:53otoro sushi
00:19:54was unveiled
00:19:55before anyone
00:19:56could admire it.
00:19:57A wave of rotten stench
00:19:58hit the room.
00:19:59His smile vanished.
00:20:00Guests gagged.
00:20:01The mayor slammed his fork
00:20:02down on the table
00:20:02in fury.
00:20:03Percy,
00:20:03this is the signature dish
00:20:04you've been bragging about?
00:20:05Open your damn eyes!
00:20:06Is this meant for humans?
00:20:08I held Mia close
00:20:09and watched.
00:20:10Cold.
00:20:10Percy's face went pale.
00:20:12Cold sweat
00:20:12dripped from his temples
00:20:13down into his collar.
00:20:15But he wasn't done.
00:20:16He fell back
00:20:16on his pathetic sales pitch,
00:20:18desperate to cover up the rot.
00:20:19No,
00:20:20Mr. Mayor,
00:20:20let me explain.
00:20:21This is an oxidation reaction,
00:20:23an advanced aging process
00:20:24for premium tuna.
00:20:25Advanced aging?
00:20:26No,
00:20:27he just served the mayor cheap.
00:20:29Old meat to cut costs.
00:20:31The live stream
00:20:31was going wild.
00:20:33The whole city
00:20:33was watching him
00:20:34feed garbage
00:20:35to the mayor.
00:20:36Fine.
00:20:36You're so confident
00:20:37in this process?
00:20:38Then don't waste it.
00:20:40Bring it to him.
00:20:40Eat it,
00:20:41Percy.
00:20:42Every last piece,
00:20:42right now.
00:20:43No,
00:20:43no.
00:20:44You're resisting so hard.
00:20:45Is it because you think
00:20:46it's a piece of rotten meat,
00:20:48too?
00:20:48No,
00:20:49Mr. Mayor,
00:20:49I'll prove to you
00:20:50there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:51The security guards
00:20:52stepped forward.
00:20:53The cold,
00:20:54intimidating pressure
00:20:54left Percy
00:20:55with no way out.
00:20:57Under the gaze
00:20:57of the citywide live stream,
00:20:59he was forced to swallow
00:21:00that rotten meat
00:21:01like a pathetic stray dog.
00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs
00:21:05and threw the money away.
00:21:06Now he had to chew up
00:21:07the consequences himself.
00:21:10The mayor's fury
00:21:11was just the beginning.
00:21:12The real ruin
00:21:13of the iron anchor
00:21:13was just getting started.
00:21:20This is the pride
00:21:21of Surla Streets?
00:21:22The face of our state's
00:21:23restaurant industry?
00:21:24Percy,
00:21:25you didn't just insult me.
00:21:26You insult the entire
00:21:27food safety laws
00:21:28of this city.
00:21:29Mr. Mayor,
00:21:30I swear on my life,
00:21:31the sushi is fine.
00:21:32I just drank too much
00:21:33last night.
00:21:33It's my stomach.
00:21:34It's upset.
00:21:35Percy's excuse
00:21:35sounded pathetic and hollow
00:21:37in front of the mayor
00:21:38and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:39No one knew better than me.
00:21:40Eating rotten bluefin tuna
00:21:42would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:43Soon,
00:21:44Percy showed
00:21:44all the signs.
00:21:46The client who had signed
00:21:47next year's contract with him
00:21:48actually 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!
00:21:55Percy, 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,
00:21:59Percy's noble image was gone,
00:22:01shattered in front of the live stream
00:22:03in the entire city.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:05I want a full investigation
00:22:06of Iron Anchor right now!
00:22:08Percy wanted to stop it,
00:22:09but he couldn't move.
00:22:10Soon enough,
00:22:11the iron door
00:22:12to Iron Anchor's back storage
00:22:13was violently pushed over.
00:22:15A stench of formaldehyde
00:22:16mixed with rotting blood
00:22:17hit everyone in the face.
00:22:19Cardboard boxes
00:22:20piled up like nothings,
00:22:22their outer layers
00:22:22covered in mold.
00:22:23The smell is absolutely disgusting!
00:22:25Just thinking about the food I ate
00:22:26makes me want to strangle Percy
00:22:28with my bare hand!
00:22:29Percy was dragged
00:22:29to the storage door
00:22:30like a filthy rag.
00:22:32The mayor pointed angrily
00:22:33at the inside of the back room.
00:22:34This is the best ingredient
00:22:35warehouse in all of New York?
00:22:36Percy, you better explain this!
00:22:38Now!
00:22:40Percy scrambled,
00:22:41saying it was all the supplier's fault
00:22:43that he was a victim too.
00:22:44Tears streamed down his face
00:22:45as he got all emotional.
00:22:46At first,
00:22:47some people actually believed him.
00:22:49After all,
00:22:49Iron Anchor's reputation
00:22:50had been perfect.
00:22:51That was until a contract
00:22:52signed with the shady supplier
00:22:53was pulled out of a drawer.
00:22:54A hundred dollars a play
00:22:55and you spent three cents
00:22:57on the meat?!
00:22:57Banned.
00:22:58That's what it was.
00:22:59The money went to the cars.
00:23:00The fancy front.
00:23:01But the food itself.
00:23:02He had zero respect for it.
00:23:04Mr. Mayor,
00:23:04let me explain.
00:23:05I was just trying to save money.
00:23:07I didn't know the supplier
00:23:08would give me bad meat.
00:23:08I'd give me bad meat!
00:23:10You didn't know?
00:23:11You're playing games
00:23:12with people's lives!
00:23:14Percy looked around
00:23:15in despair.
00:23:16Nothing but contempt.
00:23:17And the mayor's fury
00:23:18was even more terrifying
00:23:19than he'd imagined.
00:23:20If this is the best
00:23:21Surla Street has to offer,
00:23:22then I will shut down
00:23:22every single restaurant
00:23:23on this entire street!
00:23:24The whole place erupted.
00:23:26Every business owner's face
00:23:27dropped.
00:23:27If the whole street
00:23:28got shut down,
00:23:29they would lose
00:23:29countless future business deals.
00:23:31Percy, you animal!
00:23:32You want to serve trash?
00:23:33Fine!
00:23:33But don't drag
00:23:34the 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.
00:23:43While he was down,
00:23:43Mia looked worried.
00:23:44She was afraid my restaurant
00:23:45would 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
00:23:49I could turn the tide
00:23:50on Surla Street.
00:23:51And if I timed it right,
00:23:52my chef should be here
00:23:53any 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
00:24:06do you think you're doing?
00:24:07Mr. Mayor,
00:24:08before you give up
00:24:09on this street,
00:24:10please give real
00:24:11Surla Street cuisine
00:24:12one chance.
00:24:13Percy pulled himself up
00:24:14off the floor
00:24:14and stormed over to me,
00:24:15furious.
00:24:16That garbage
00:24:17from your $500 dump
00:24:18has no place
00:24:19in front of the mayor!
00:24:21I'm warning you,
00:24:22throw that trash away!
00:24:23Mia was never one
00:24:24to just take it lying down.
00:24:25The second she heard that,
00:24:26she hauled off
00:24:27and slapped Percy
00:24:28right across the face.
00:24:29Wipe that disgusting
00:24:30superior look
00:24:31off your face,
00:24:32you arrogant jerk!
00:24:33Three minutes ago,
00:24:34you were serving
00:24:34the mayor garbage!
00:24:35Whatever my husband
00:24:36has in that box
00:24:37is worth more than you
00:24:38and your whole restaurant
00:24:39ever were!
00:24:40You dare put your hands
00:24:41on me?!
00:24:41You shameless bitch!
00:24:43The mayor beat me to it.
00:24:44He had his security
00:24:45restrained Percy,
00:24:46then looked at the
00:24:47takeout box in my hand.
00:24:49I think I'd like to try
00:24:50something made by a man
00:24:51with some composure.
00:24:53See Mr. Restaurant.
00:24:54Please enjoy.
00:25:09I've never seen sashimi
00:25:11with such perfect texture.
00:25:12It's as thin as a leaf!
00:25:14The aroma's so rich!
00:25:15My mouth is watering!
00:25:17The livestream 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
00:25:23instantly skyrocketed
00:25:24by 10,000.
00:25:26Tuna of this grade,
00:25:27my supplier swore
00:25:28I was his only client
00:25:29in Manhattan.
00:25:29Your so-called supply chain
00:25:30is just a transaction.
00:25:31What Grayson earned
00:25:32is the supplier's respect.
00:25:34He deserves to have
00:25:34the best ingredients
00:25:35way more than your
00:25:36iron anchor ever did.
00:25:38I watched the mayor's
00:25:38fingertips tremble.
00:25:40That is the instinctive
00:25:41reaction of a true gourmet
00:25:42in the presence of something
00:25:44transcendent.
00:25:45Percy always thought
00:25:46waving his checkbook
00:25:47around on livestream
00:25:48would let him
00:25:49control everything.
00:25:50But he never knew.
00:25:51Some ingredients
00:25:52can't be bought.
00:25:53They choose who
00:25:53deserves them.
00:25:56My God.
00:25:57The sweetness.
00:25:58The way this fat
00:25:59just dissolves.
00:26:00It's melting on your tongue.
00:26:02Grayson, I take back
00:26:03what I said earlier.
00:26:03This isn't just food.
00:26:04This is art.
00:26:06This year's
00:26:07industry benchmark
00:26:08restaurant is not
00:26:09this foul-smelling
00:26:10iron anchor.
00:26:12It goes to...
00:26:18Wait.
00:26:19C-Mist shouldn't even
00:26:20be in the running.
00:26:21Everyone knows
00:26:21that place is a dump
00:26:22full of grease and rats.
00:26:24It doesn't even meet
00:26:25basic health and safety
00:26:25standards.
00:26:26Percy looked at me
00:26:27with that smug expression
00:26:28like he'd finally
00:26:29cornered the clown.
00:26:30Too bad.
00:26:31This time,
00:26:32the joke was on him.
00:26:33Save the pity, Grayson.
00:26:35I know you tried
00:26:35really hard to steal
00:26:36first place from me.
00:26:38Too bad.
00:26:39Trying isn't enough.
00:26:40You'll never surpass
00:26:41me, little brother.
00:26:43Mr. Mayor,
00:26:44it would be my honor
00:26:45to lead the way
00:26:46and show everyone
00:26:47this garbage
00:26:49dim Grayson
00:26:50calls a restaurant.
00:26:52That place has been
00:26:52closed for ages.
00:26:54I heard the last owner
00:26:55was so bitter.
00:26:55He poured cooking oil
00:26:56all over the floors
00:26:57on his way out.
00:26:58You can't even walk in there.
00:26:59That's right.
00:27:00And he left all kinds
00:27:01of expired food
00:27:01in there, too.
00:27:02It's probably a full-blown
00:27:03rat kingdom by now.
00:27:04What right does a dump
00:27:05like that have to call
00:27:06itself a restaurant?
00:27:07What do we do?
00:27:09Mr. Mayor
00:27:10and everyone here,
00:27:12as the owner
00:27:13of Seamist Restaurant,
00:27:14I invite you all
00:27:15to come see it
00:27:15for yourselves.
00:27:16You idiot.
00:27:18Get ready to watch
00:27:19your precious restaurant
00:27:20get shut down.
00:27:21My dear fans,
00:27:23I'm about to show you
00:27:24the most chaotic,
00:27:26filthiest garbage dump
00:27:27on Surla Street.
00:27:28You cannot imagine
00:27:30how absolutely
00:27:31disgusting that 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
00:27:41trash and stink.
00:27:43Just wait and see.
00:27:44Percy's smug smile
00:27:45kept growing,
00:27:46but all of that
00:27:47was about to come
00:27:47to a screeching halt
00:27:48the second I opened
00:27:49that door.
00:27:55This is impossible.
00:27:57Oh 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
00:28:14just as 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
00:28:32on 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!
00:28:38You 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.
00:28:47How can you afford
00:28:48pop-grade blue-fit 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.
00:28:52His freezer must be packed
00:28:54with cheap frozen garbage.
00:28:56Trash
00:28:57will always be trash!
00:29:00You want to see?
00:29:01I'll show you.
00:29:07So many.
00:29:08Tuna of this quality,
00:29:10only three restaurants
00:29:11in all of New York
00:29:11can get their hands on 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 rotten fish.
00:29:22Spray them with chemicals!
00:29:24Who the hell
00:29:24is insulting my fish?
00:29:30You are...
00:29:31I worked with Iron Anchor
00:29:32for a whole year.
00:29:33Not once did you bother
00:29:34to remember my name.
00:29:35Percy,
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!
00:29:45And 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
00:29:52in California.
00:29:53I hereby certify
00:29:54that all ingredients
00:29:55used by
00:29:56Seamist 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
00:30:04person 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
00:30:09for him.
00:30:10Are you insane?
00:30:11I give you millions
00:30:12of dollars a year!
00:30:13What about him?
00:30:14All he got
00:30:15was the lousy
00:30:15hundred grand
00:30:16I threw at him!
00:30:17After lashing out
00:30:18at the supplier,
00:30:19Percy turned his rage
00:30:20back on me.
00:30:21Grayson!
00:30:22You ungrateful snake!
00:30:24You took the hundred grand
00:30:25I gave you
00:30:26and used it to steal
00:30:27my supplier
00:30:28and become my enemy?
00:30:29Don't you have
00:30:30any family loyalty
00:30:31at 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.
00:30:51I'm taking it back
00:30:52with my own hands.
00:30:53We're even.
00:30:54And don't forget,
00:30:55this supplier was mine
00:30:56from the very beginning.
00:30:58Percy's eyes
00:30:58went unfocused.
00:31:00It looked like
00:31:00he was finally 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
00:31:07to find this one.
00:31:07Percy wanted
00:31:08to keep arguing,
00:31:10but 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.
00:31:45He used to throw
00:31:46money in front of me
00:31:46and call me a country
00:31:47bumpin' who'd never
00:31:48seen the world.
00:31:49And now,
00:31:50that live-streaming empire
00:31:52he so carefully built
00:31:53was collapsing
00:31:54inch by inch
00:31:55in front of a global audience.
00:31:56I hereby declare
00:31:58I hereby declare
00:31:59Sea Mist Restaurant
00:32:00the industry
00:32:01benchmark restaurant
00:32:02for this year.
00:32:03Effective immediately,
00:32:05Iron Anchor's business license
00:32:07is permanently revoked.
00:32:09All assets
00:32:10are to be seized.
00:32:12Percy is under
00:32:12official investigation
00:32:13for food safety crimes
00:32:15and commercial fraud.
00:32:18Now,
00:32:19throw 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.
00:32:32Your restaurant
00:32:32is right across the street.
00:32:33You can fix this.
00:32:34You have to.
00:32:35I gave him a year.
00:32:36A whole year.
00:32:38But all he ever learned
00:32:39was how to put on a show
00:32:40for his live screen.
00:32:41Grayson!
00:32:44Grayson,
00:32:44I'm begging you.
00:32:45You're tight with the mayor.
00:32:46Please put in a good word for me.
00:32:47You can't let them
00:32:48close my place.
00:32:49That's everything I've got.
00:32:50Everything you've got, Percy?
00:32:52You call rotten meat
00:32:53and fake gold
00:32:54paint 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.
00:32:59You come back
00:32:59and be the boss.
00:33:00I'll work for you.
00:33:01I'll be your line cook.
00:33:03Percy,
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
00:33:09could replace him.
00:33:10A year ago,
00:33:11I begged him
00:33:12in the pouring rain
00:33:13just like this.
00:33:14to pay the supplier
00:33:15what he owed.
00:33:16He rolled down his car window,
00:33:18blew smoke in my face,
00:33:19and told me
00:33:20I didn't understand business.
00:33:22Percy,
00:33:22your biggest mistake
00:33:23wasn't greed.
00:33:25It was that you never
00:33:25learned to respect food.
00:33:27Someone who can make
00:33:28the finest fish
00:33:28smell like death
00:33:29has no place in 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,
00:33:37Sea 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 Sea Mist Restaurant.
00:33:54Name your price.
00:33:55Just make sure that
00:33:55Oto Sushi shows up
00:33:56at my event.
00:33:57Grayson,
00:33:58this 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 Sea Mist
00:34:03agrees to be our partner.
00:34:053 hours ago,
00:34:05these same people
00:34:06watched Percy humiliate 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,
00:34:11they're willing to pay double
00:34:12just to beg me
00:34:12for a partnership.
00:34:13Sea 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!
00:34:23What can you offer
00:34:23besides money?
00:34:24I can provide the biggest
00:34:25advertising and sales channels!
00:34:27Get lost!
00:34:27This opportunity is mine!
00:34:30I'm going to buy something!
00:34:33With the mayor's endorsement
00:34:34from the title
00:34:35of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:34:37Sea Mist was splattered
00:34:38all over countless posters.
00:34:41Customers poured
00:34:42into Sea 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.
00:34:50Sea Mist will always stand
00:34:51for healthy, delicious 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
00:35:29for the next year.
00:35:35Pleasure doing business with you.
00:35:37At that moment,
00:35:38Percy,
00:35:39his 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 millions
00:35:47of dollars.
00:35:48Furious,
00:35:48he tried to get in,
00:35:49but the security guard
00:35:51at the door
00:35:51shoved him back,
00:35:52sending him tumbling
00:35:53down the steps.
00:35:54Get out of my way!
00:35:56That 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
00:36:02for 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.
00:36:16Now,
00:36:16he can't even get past
00:36:18the door of my restaurant.
00:36:20Grayson!
00:36:21You traitor!
00:36:22You traitor!
00:36:26Percy was curled up
00:36:27next to a stinking dumpster.
00:36:29His thousand dollar
00:36:31tuxedo was caked
00:36:32with grime.
00:36:33He was too afraid
00:36:34to go home,
00:36:35because all the partners
00:36:36he'd arrogantly
00:36:37signed with before
00:36:38were now turning on him
00:36:39after Iron Anchor
00:36:40got shut down.
00:36:41What awaited him
00:36:42was massive penalty fees
00:36:44and the fury
00:36:45of every single one
00:36:46of those partners.
00:36:52Hello?
00:36:53Boss,
00:36:54just give me
00:36:54a little more time.
00:36:55Time?
00:36:56Percy,
00:36:57your old frozen meat
00:36:58got my license revoked.
00:37:00According to the contract,
00:37:00you owe me triple the penalty.
00:37:02That's two million dollars.
00:37:04If I don't see that money
00:37:05by tomorrow morning,
00:37:06you can go feed the fish
00:37:07in the Hudson River.
00:37:13Percy,
00:37:14this is James
00:37:15from Seafood Logistics.
00:37:16That industry benchmark prize
00:37:17you promised
00:37:18was total bullshit.
00:37:19I want my shipping fees
00:37:20and the 500,000 penalty.
00:37:21Transfer it now.
00:37:22Otherwise,
00:37:23I'm sending your address
00:37:24to every creditor in Manhattan.
00:37:26Percy pinned all 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 of dignity.
00:37:37He did pathetic stunts.
00:37:38He even fought
00:37:39homeless people for food.
00:37:41You felled us garbage
00:37:41for so long.
00:37:42What right does an animal
00:37:43like you have
00:37:44to ask for our forgiveness?
00:37:45Report him.
00:37:46Make him disappear for good.
00:37:48No, no, no.
00:37:49If I hadn't skimped
00:37:50on that 90,000,
00:37:51if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:37:53that six million
00:37:53would have been mine.
00:37:54The mayor's praise
00:37:55would have been mine too.
00:37:56He finally understood.
00:37:58Losing me
00:37:58wasn't just losing a line cook.
00:38:00It was losing his only brain
00:38:02and his last chance
00:38:03to be a decent human being.
00:38:04The live stream ban
00:38:05was the final straw
00:38:07that broke Percy.
00:38:08He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant
00:38:10glowing with lights
00:38:11and finally broke down sobbing.
00:38:14I was wrong.
00:38:16Grayson, I was really wrong.
00:38:23Time to pay up.
00:38:27Hear my love.
00:38:37I took Mia out
00:38:39for a nice meal
00:38:40because we were so poor
00:38:41last 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
00:38:49for everything
00:38:51these 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,
00:39:00but these numbers
00:39:01don't lie.
00:39:01Three days ago
00:39:02I sat here
00:39:03watching Percy
00:39:04throw 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, tens,
00:39:11hundreds, thousands,
00:39:11tens of thousands.
00:39:12Grayson,
00:39:13the prepayments
00:39:14and net profit,
00:39:15it's over six million?
00:39:16That's just the first week.
00:39:17With the mayor's endorsement,
00:39:18every big name in New York,
00:39:20politicians,
00:39:20and 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
00:39:28the best education.
00:39:29We never have to live
00:39:30under Percy's thumb again.
00:39:31I looked at Mia's
00:39:32excited face.
00:39:33It warmed my heart.
00:39:35To the future.
00:39:37Cheers.
00:39:39And Percy?
00:39:40At that very moment,
00:39:41he was huddled
00:39:42next to a dumpster,
00:39:43gnawling on someone
00:39:44else's disparted bread.
00:39:49I moved Mia
00:39:50out of that tiny
00:39:51rental apartment
00:39:51and bought the best
00:39:52estate in the city.
00:39:53Mr. Grayson,
00:39:54this is the most private
00:39:55estate in the entire city.
00:39:56It comes with its own
00:39:57helipad and a top
00:39:58of the security system.
00:39:59Do you like it?
00:40:00The sunlight here
00:40:01is beautiful.
00:40:02Perfect for our kid
00:40:03to run around
00:40:03on the grass someday.
00:40:04I never imagined
00:40:05I'd live in a place
00:40:06like this someday.
00:40:07Grayson,
00:40:08this is too expensive.
00:40:09Mia,
00:40:09you deserve the best.
00:40:10Just sign it.
00:40:11This will be our
00:40:12family's safe haven.
00:40:13Now,
00:40:14I bought the estate
00:40:15that Percy never
00:40:16even dared to dream
00:40:17of stepping foot in.
00:40:18And him?
00:40:19He's hiding
00:40:20in some dark corner,
00:40:21running from the creditors.
00:40:23The soft opening
00:40:24of Seamist Branch
00:40:24was a huge success.
00:40:25We can officially
00:40:26launch the 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.
00:40:39Percy failed
00:40:39because he looked
00:40:40at his customers
00:40:41and saw cash cows.
00:40:42I 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
00:40:49more people around the world
00:40:49enjoy this food.
00:40:51Grayson,
00:40:52we're really starting
00:40:53a new life.
00:40:56The first stop
00:40:57for our expansion?
00:40:59That port
00:40:59Percy always wanted
00:41:00to take over
00:41:01for himself.
00:41:14Goodbye, Grayson.
00:41:15You made it.
00:41:17You goddamn piece of trash.
00:41:19You actually sold
00:41:20banned meat?
00:41:21Are you even human?
00:41:22Dad,
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!
00:41:29If it weren't for him,
00:41:30we'd all be in prison
00:41:31right now because 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.
00:41:38Percy was in that old house,
00:41:39taking the beating
00:41:40my parents should have
00:41:41given him long ago.
00:41:42He used to think
00:41:42he was the pride
00:41:43of the family.
00:41:44In truth,
00:41:44he was just a cowardly,
00:41:46rotten 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.
00:41:53Make 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
00:42:01to think he was
00:42:01your little brother?
00:42:02Get out!
00:42:04Go be a lying cook
00:42:05out on the streets!
00:42:13His nightmare
00:42:14had only just begun.
00:42:26What 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
00:42:37is on the national blacklist now.
00:42:39Old frozen meat
00:42:40and formalide-laden decor?
00:42:41Those search terms
00:42:42are number one on Google.
00:42:44Stop wasting our time.
00:42:45Get out and don't bring
00:42:46that stench
00:42:47into our office.
00:42:48Reputation takes
00:42:49a year to build
00:42:50and one plate
00:42:51of rotten
00:42:51Otoro sushi
00:42:52to destroy.
00:42:58Lisa!
00:43:00Where are you going?
00:43:01My cards are frozen.
00:43:02You have to help me.
00:43:03Help you?
00:43:04Percy?
00:43:05Right now,
00:43:06you'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.
00:43:14I 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!
00:43:27That's my money!
00:43:34Watching Percy
00:43:35fall apart like this,
00:43:36I couldn't help but feel grateful
00:43:38that the woman by my side
00:43:40is Mia.
00:43:43With nowhere left to go,
00:43:45Percy stole mom
00:43:46and dad's retirement savings
00:43:47and borrowed a huge junk
00:43:49of money from the neighbors.
00:43:50My parents called me
00:43:51to handle it.
00:43:52I bought the most expensive
00:43:54estate in Manhattan,
00:43:55a place with a garden
00:43:56bigger than Percy's
00:43:57entire restaurant.
00:43:58I brought Mia back here
00:44:00to show my parents
00:44:00that their younger son,
00:44:02the one they called
00:44:03just a line cook,
00:44:04was 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
00:44:18and you scamp the neighbors.
00:44:19We can't even show
00:44:20our faces outside anymore.
00:44:21Are you gonna drive us crazy?
00:44:22Grayson,
00:44:23you ungrateful snake.
00:44:24You live in a mansion
00:44:25where suits worth
00:44:26tens of thousands
00:44:27and you just watch
00:44:28your own brother die?
00:44:29Dad, Mom,
00:44:30here 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
00:44:40their retirement money,
00:44:41you should have realized
00:44:41you're already out
00:44:42of this family.
00:44:46Money!
00:44:47That's mine!
00:44:50You owe me!
00:44:51This money is for the neighbors.
00:44:53As for you, Percy,
00:44:54you don't deserve
00:44:54to touch a single cent.
00:44:56I was wearing clothes
00:44:57he could never afford
00:44:57in his lifetime.
00:44:58I was standing
00:44:59at a height
00:45:00he 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
00:45:23this street,
00:45:23everyone looked at me
00:45:24like I was a joke.
00:45:25Now,
00:45:26I own half the storefronts
00:45:27on this block
00:45:27and the looks people
00:45:29give me have gone
00:45:29from contempt to respect.
00:45:31Suddenly,
00:45:32from the end of the street,
00:45:33a sharp scream
00:45:34cut through the air
00:45:35followed by a
00:45:35sickening crunch.
00:45:37two million in penalties.
00:45:39You promised to pay today.
00:45:41Where's the money?
00:45:45He's got money.
00:45:46That's my own brother.
00:45:48Go 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
00:45:52like you
00:45:52dares to call him
00:45:53your brother?
00:45:53He just issued
00:45:54a statement in the paper.
00:45:55He's cutting all ties
00:45:56with you.
00:45:56No money,
00:45:57huh?
00:45:57Then we do it
00:45:58the old way.
00:45:58Let's start
00:45:59with two fingers.
00:46:06I took Mia's hand
00:46:07and stepped through
00:46:07the magnificent doors
00:46:08of Seamist Restaurant.
00:46:10Behind me,
00:46:10Percy's screams
00:46:11for help echoed
00:46:12as the debt cappers
00:46:13dragged him
00:46:13into 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
00:46:41in 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.
00:46:47Yes, Grayson.
00:46:48Grayson,
00:46:49congratulations
00:46:49on the new company.
00:46:51I left that loser,
00:46:52Percy,
00:46:52because I could see
00:46:53you were the real deal,
00:46:54the one who actually
00:46:55gets things done.
00:46:56Grayson,
00:46:57does Seamist
00:46:58need a PR director?
00:46:59Or maybe
00:47:00a personal assistant?
00:47:01I know everything you like,
00:47:03just like I knew
00:47:04everything 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.
00:47:13Miss Lisa,
00:47:13Seamist doesn't need
00:47:14an assistant,
00:47:15but we are looking
00:47:15for a cleaner
00:47:16to take out the trash.
00:47:17But take a look
00:47:18at your clothes.
00:47:18I doubt you could
00:47:19even hold a rag, Stady.
00:47:20Get this piece
00:47:21of cheap, perfumed
00:47:22garbage out of you.
00:47:23From today on,
00:47:24if she shows up
00:47:25within a kilometer
00:47:26of Seamist,
00:47:27call the cops immediately.
00:47:28Grayson,
00:47:29don't get cocky!
00:47:31You were just
00:47:32a line cook too!
00:47:35I watched her
00:47:36pathetic 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.
00:47:42But they don't know.
00:47:43Mia lived with me
00:47:44in that leaky
00:47:45rental apartment.
00:47:46I know for certain,
00:47:48she is the one
00:47:49and only love my life.
00:47:50Why do you keep
00:47:51staring at me?
00:47:55Mia,
00:47:57I think I owe you
00:47:58a grand wedding.
00:48:12Mr. Grayson,
00:48:13do you take Mia
00:48:15to be your wife,
00:48:16to cherish her
00:48:17in both poverty
00:48:17and wealth?
00:48:18I do.
00:48:21Today,
00:48:22all those wealthy socialets
00:48:24who used to mock us
00:48:25as the poor couple
00:48:26are sitting right there
00:48:28in the audience,
00:48:29applauding 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,
00:48:42save me!
00:48:42The Deck Kaluers
00:48:43broke my fingers.
00:48:44I'm in the alley
00:48:44right outside the church.
00:48:45Please,
00:48:46just give me
00:48:46$50,000
00:48:47one last time.
00:48:51Is it him?
00:48:59Someone who doesn't
00:49:00matter.
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.
00:49:08He's just not
00:49:08worth my time.
00:49:09But I'm not
00:49:10a pushover either.
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.
00:49:37Percy watched
00:49:37the screen in fury.
00:49:39Percy,
00:49:39your big shot brother
00:49:40already said he's
00:49:41stripping you of his
00:49:41last name.
00:49:42You don't even have
00:49:43a 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
00:49:47that money becomes mine.
00:49:49Kill him?
00:49:50Grayson is the mayor's
00:49:51right-hand band now.
00:49:52He's got thousands
00:49:53of bodyguards.
00:49:54But you,
00:49:55your eyeballs are worth
00:49:56something.
00:49:57How about we take them
00:49:57as interest first?
00:50:01Grayson,
00:50:02you think you've won?
00:50:04Your woman's about
00:50:05to give birth, right?
00:50:06You'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
00:50:11just wither away
00:50:12in his despair.
00:50:14I underestimated
00:50:15how deeply greed
00:50:16and jealousy
00:50:17can twister
00:50:17in a person's soul.
00:50:19A vicious plan
00:50:20was closing in on me.
00:50:30Grayson!
00:50:31You live in a mansion
00:50:33worth thousands
00:50:33of square feet
00:50:34and you're going to
00:50:35let me freeze
00:50:36to death out here?
00:50:37Grayson,
00:50:38you 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,
00:50:42Percy was throwing money
00:50:43around at Iron Anchor
00:50:44while mom and dad
00:50:45lived in that leaky
00:50:46old house.
00:50:46He never once
00:50:47mentioned family.
00:50:48Now that he's drowning
00:50:49he's using our elderly
00:50:51parents to play
00:50:51the guilt card.
00:50:53That kind of guilt
00:50:53is disgusted to me
00:50:55even more than that
00:50:55plate of rotten
00:50:56motosushi.
00:51:02Brother!
00:51:03Save me!
00:51:04Just transfer
00:51:05ten,
00:51:05ten percent
00:51:06of CMYS shares
00:51:07to me
00:51:08and the creditors
00:51:09will leave me alone!
00:51:10Mom and dad,
00:51:10please,
00:51:11say something for me!
00:51:13Grayson,
00:51:13those deck cleepers
00:51:14are beating Percy
00:51:15half to death!
00:51:16He still has the
00:51:17strength to beg.
00:51:17He still has the
00:51:18strength to come here.
00:51:19He's perfectly capable
00:51:20of pulling himself
00:51:21out of this mess.
00:51:23You cold-blooded freak!
00:51:33You tried to hurt
00:51:34your own little brother?
00:51:35Please!
00:51:37Mom, 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.
00:51:45I never kick a man
00:51:46when he's down,
00:51:47but I will not
00:51:48repay evil
00:51:48with kindness.
00:51:51In that moment,
00:51:53his 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!
00:52:05No!
00:52:05Mom!
00:52:06Dad!
00:52:06No!
00:52:07No!
00:52:08No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:13That hopeless bastard!
00:52:15Grayson,
00:52:16it was our fault
00:52:17for asking you
00:52:18to help him.
00:52:19Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:52:22Mr. 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!
00:52:32Their only retirement money!
00:52:36I thought Percy
00:52:37would just crawl
00:52:37into some corner
00:52:38and wait to die
00:52:39after being exposed.
00:52:41I underestimated
00:52:41how desperate
00:52:42a gambler
00:52:43with nothing left
00:52:43to loss can become.
00:52:50He didn't steal
00:52:51that money
00:52:51to pay off his debts.
00:52:53He stole it
00:52:53to feed his delusional
00:52:54dream of a comeback.
00:52:58Grayson,
00:52:59you found him.
00:53:00Percy has hooked up
00:53:01with an underground
00:53:02factory in Brooklyn.
00:53:03They produce
00:53:03illegal chemical flavorings
00:53:05that are highly addictive.
00:53:06He's trying to use
00:53:07those poisons
00:53:07to copy sea mists' taste
00:53:09and force his way
00:53:09back into the market.
00:53:11For a little money,
00:53:11he's willing to do
00:53:12something like this.
00:53:25Get the best medical team
00:53:27in the country.
00:53:2824-hour care
00:53:28for Mom and Dad.
00:53:30Do whatever it takes
00:53:30to keep them
00:53:31from finding out
00:53:31what that bastard
00:53:32Percy has done.
00:53:33As for Percy,
00:53:34I'm going to make him pay.
00:53:37Before,
00:53:37I just wanted to see him
00:53:39broken on the streets.
00:53:40Now,
00:53:41I'm going to take him
00:53:42out myself.
00:53:49Talk!
00:53:50What did that
00:53:51ungrateful bastard
00:53:52give you?
00:53:52How dare you call him
00:53:54the most conscientious chef
00:53:55in Manhattan
00:53:56on livestream?
00:53:57He was about to pass out
00:53:59from hunger
00:53:59and I gave him a 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.
00:54:19Grayson!
00:54:20Grayson!
00:54:20You think just because
00:54:20you're some big shot now
00:54:22you're untouchable?
00:54:23This old man insulted me.
00:54:24I'll kill him!
00:54:29My hand!
00:54:30Grayson,
00:54:31you crazy bastard!
00:54:33That one's for the burger.
00:54:35My rule is simple.
00:54:37A kindness,
00:54:38I return it tenfold.
00:54:40A slight,
00:54:40I break the bone
00:54:42and from that
00:54:43delivered 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.
00:54:54Mr. Grayson,
00:54:57this is too much.
00:54:59This is nothing
00:55:00next 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 kicked
00:55:06suddenly become
00:55:07the property
00:55:07we had never dreamed of.
00:55:09Jealousy and pain
00:55:10drove me half the sun.
00:55:17You just wait!
00:55:20While I sat atop
00:55:22Sea 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 comeback.
00:55:33Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:55:36You seeing this?
00:55:37This is what
00:55:38real charity looks like.
00:55:40Sea Mist charges
00:55:40thousands for one meal.
00:55:42That's robbery!
00:55:43My Bliss Box
00:55:44is only $9.99.
00:55:47$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!
00:55:58Get lost!
00:55:59All of you haters,
00:56:00get lost!
00:56:01He had become
00:56:02a complete outcast,
00:56:04despised by the entire internet.
00:56:06He was poisoning
00:56:07those poor people,
00:56:08using that nerve-destroying
00:56:09addictive flavoring
00:56:10to make money,
00:56:11dreaming of making
00:56:12a comeback.
00:56:13He was knight.
00:56:14The foundation of business
00:56:15has never been
00:56:15violent addiction.
00:56:17It's absolute control
00:56:18over the global supply chain.
00:56:25Grayson you came to laugh at me look look at all these people in line my capital is doubling
00:56:32soon I'll be able to buy out your fake little restaurant what have you got to fight me with
00:56:38in c-mist group's name inform the global spice association from this moment on whoever sells
00:56:43one gram of spice to any factory connected to percy will be permanently erased from the global
00:56:47supply chain vice I've got money you idiot I'll just buy some from Chinatown what not just the big
00:56:58suppliers even the small workshops are canceling they're demanding triple the refund without spice
00:57:03I can't cover up the bitterness of all that expired rotten meat hello percy without fire and salt you
00:57:09can't even cook a plate of garbage I cut off his last lifeline
00:57:21Leo you're the person Grayson trusts the most just put one drop of this vial into his tuna this five
00:57:28million and shares in the new company it's all yours five million gotta admit that's tempting
00:57:36good that arrogant bastard Grayson he never imagined he'd be betrayed by someone he saved
00:57:43Percy looks like you forgot Leo was about to go under and I'm the one who pulled him out your
00:57:48filthy
00:57:48money couldn't even buy back the life I saved for him back then when I save someone loyalty is in
00:57:54their blood Percy's blood it's pure rotting greed trying to buy loyalty with filthy garbage like that is
00:58:03basically him executing whatever intelligence he had left tell me if you drank that stuff you picked
00:58:10up yourself what do you think would happen no no Grayson I'm your own brother don't kill me kill you
00:58:21that would dirty my basement send him back crawling in the mud that's the only thing that suits him
00:58:29he took a step against me so I'll make sure he never walks straight again his dignity I've stomped it
00:58:35straight into the gutter starting today the C Mist group is acquiring every last shop on Surla Street
00:58:45all of you who didn't follow Percy when he was doing his dirty work you each receive a five percent
00:58:50in
00:58:51the original shares I came back to rebuild not to take revenge I wanted these
00:58:59honest people to know follow Grayson and even a vegetable seller can stand tall and make money
00:59:05right here in Manhattan hurry up just give me some bread I'm starving here Mr. Grayson specifically
00:59:15asked for this for some special people three-day-old stale ends I watched him
00:59:25he once wanted to starve me now he's only breathing because I choose to throw him scraps
00:59:34Percy you're not off the hook yet that illegal factories poison time for you to take a sip yourself
00:59:46everyone C Mist restaurant so-called natural ingredients are nothing but a lie for the rich
00:59:52today I'm going to expose Grayson's crimes monopolizing spices and driving up prices
01:00:01our tech-based food costs only one percent of C Mist's but tastes exactly the same
01:00:08Grayson's era is over I saw Percy's little circus act on the screen and it did nothing to me he's
01:00:14cozying up to those drug manufacturers who skate just inside the law trying to define great food
01:00:18with cheap Michael garbage he doesn't understand real top-tier ingredients are a gift from the earth
01:00:23and the Sun not some molecular arrangement in a lab today the C Mist group will roll out the global
01:00:33restaurant platinum standard any restaurant that does not meet the natural supply chain audit will
01:00:38be removed from the global procurement while this for good mr. Grayson's proposal is a beacon for the
01:00:45restaurant industry and we support it 100% while Percy was still in that dark little corner trying to
01:00:52smear my name I was at the top of the food chain rewriting the rules of the game he thinks
01:00:59he's competing with
01:01:00me the truth is he's just swarming between my fingers oh this is impossible why would the WTO stand up
01:01:08for a
01:01:09guy who used to be a line cook Leo tell the people next door that my press conference is over
01:01:15now it's
01:01:18time to take out the trash Grayson this is illegal entry my tech food is the future of the industry
01:01:32the future of the industry this chemical waste that makes people hallucinate this bowl of plain
01:01:38kanji made simply with rice from the 40th parallel north and spring water from Crimea judges please
01:01:46this is the taste of a mother's cooking this is the pure warmth of the earth today I destroyed all
01:01:52his hypocrisy and arrogance with a single bowl of plain kanji a true master chef doesn't need
01:01:57complex recipes all he needs is a heart that respects nature Percy's lab made perfect flavor compared to the
01:02:02real deal it's just a toxic fraud this is the molecular formula for your synthetic meat there's a high
01:02:10dose of neural blockers in this keep eating it and you'll go crazy Percy this isn't cooking it's
01:02:16straight-up murder go to hell you piece of trash no this isn't true Grayson you're setting me up
01:02:27Percy the moment you decided to poison the world with your drugs the gates of hell were already open for
01:02:31you Percy knelt on the ground covered in filth clinging to his father's legs and wailing his
01:02:41illegal lab had just been raided by the police he was now a wanted criminal across the country
01:02:45dad mom save me Grayson is gonna kill me he's gonna throw me into the meat grinder with all those
01:02:52creditors
01:02:56you are still my eldest son after all
01:03:04Grayson could you maybe
01:03:11mom even now you still think he just made a mistake the first one this is the pension transfer authorization
01:03:16he personally signed while you were both in the hospital the second one this is the contract where
01:03:21he mortgaged this family home to underground loan sharks behind your backs
01:03:28you animal you even stole our funeral fund do you want the two of us to die on the street
01:03:33dad i was
01:03:33trying to make a comeback once my chemical sauce sells i could buy you a hundred penthouses go just go
01:03:38Percy i don't have a son like you anymore Percy the biggest mistake you ever made was treating
01:03:45everyone around you as sacrificial lambs for your own success starting today you are out of this family
01:03:54Percy do you remember what you said that one of us would take over the world and the other would
01:03:58fade into obscurity i'm gonna make sure you watch me take over the world Grayson you goddamn bastards
01:04:07you said you wanted to settle family out counts on this day if you don't have solid evidence you know
01:04:14the consequences the thorn family rule is pragmatism but in this man's hands rules are just a cover-up
01:04:21for his greed a year ago Percy stood at a family gathering and mocked these hands of mine saying
01:04:26they were only good for holding a kitchen knife today i'm not just taking back my dignity i'm tearing
01:04:31apart his lies with my own hands he thought being family would save him like a free pass what he
01:04:36didn't know is that before absolute rules every single betrayal comes with a price first crime
01:04:41exploitation in the three years at iron anchor he withheld ninety thousand dollars of my front
01:04:46per purkin payment and treated me like cheap liver second crime poisoning he colluded with chemical
01:04:51companies and added nerve-blocking agents to the ingredients this is a direct assault on the
01:04:55hundred-year reputation third crime attempted murder he tried to attack and harm me
01:05:01you animal you dare to harm your own brother fourth crime and the most unforgivable one
01:05:08embezzlement while our parents were in the hospital he stole their pension and mortgaged the family home
01:05:13he tried to push the very people who raised him into the hudson river no that was all for business
01:05:18grayson you're insane evidence is cold but people's hearts are hot the moment those four crimes came
01:05:24together to these elders he was no longer the hope of the family he was a rotting sword that had
