Transcript

00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago.

00:00:03Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million in one year.

00:00:07But me? He gave me only 100 grand.

00:00:09A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a month.

00:00:13I gave you 100 grand, and only because you're my brother.

00:00:18I took it with a smile.

00:00:20Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from his.

00:00:25I started my own place.

00:00:27The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped.

00:00:31He smashed his own car hood.

00:00:33He just couldn't wrap his head around it.

00:00:36How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place in town?

00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook.

00:00:45$2,000 a month.

00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared 6 mil.

00:00:53Here's your share.

00:00:58I took it and counted.

00:01:00Only 100,000.

00:01:01Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.

00:01:04I put up the money for this restaurant.

00:01:05I did all the live streams and marketing.

00:01:08You're just a line cook.

00:01:10Any bum off the street could do your job.

00:01:12If you weren't my brother, you wouldn't see a dime of this.

00:01:17For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.

00:01:21Okay. I want to tell you about my restaurant.

00:01:24Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you about my restaurant.

00:01:29Thank you for providing such high quality ingredients.

00:01:32You really helped us solve a big problem.

00:01:36I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what customers really want.

00:01:41Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm calling the cops.

00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.

00:01:50And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle and camps out in front of his live stream.

00:01:55Five people, always the same five, making a fool of himself over and over again.

00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.

00:02:05Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.

00:02:08I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.

00:02:11Thanks.

00:02:12I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.

00:02:16The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.

00:02:19The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.

00:02:21Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.

00:02:24So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly part well.

00:02:29Okay.

00:02:32See you in three days.

00:02:34Good boy.

00:02:35I didn't say a word.

00:02:36Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.

00:02:44And me.

00:02:45I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street.

00:02:49The one that couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up.

00:02:52Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.

00:02:56Percy thought it was a dump.

00:02:57A place only bums would set foot in.

00:03:02Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.

00:03:05Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.

00:03:07Nobody survives 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.

00:03:16Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.

00:03:19What Percy didn't realize.

00:03:20That award in three days.

00:03:22It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.

00:03:28My wife Mia looked at me with concern.

00:03:30Honey, what happened?

00:03:32Why are you so late?

00:03:34Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.

00:03:35I didn't have time to wash up.

00:03:39Mia looked uneasy.

00:03:41She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.

00:03:44I saw the news.

00:03:46The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.

00:03:49The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.

00:03:53Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.

00:03:57Did he give you any of it?

00:03:58Sure.

00:03:59He gave me a hundred grand.

00:04:01Only a hundred grand?

00:04:03The news said the place cleared six million.

00:04:06That's not fair.

00:04:07You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.

00:04:11At least half of the credit is yours.

00:04:13How could he do this to you?

00:04:15Mia, calm down.

00:04:17Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds.

00:04:21Why are you still working for him?

00:04:24I'm opening my own restaurant.

00:04:28I support whatever decision you make.

00:04:35Here's twenty grand.

00:04:36Go all in, Grayson.

00:04:38The baby and I will be just fine.

00:04:42I won't let you down.

00:04:44I swear.

00:04:45The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.

00:04:48That night, I couldn't sleep at all.

00:04:50What if I let Nia down?

00:04:52The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.

00:04:57I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.

00:05:00I started doubting whether going solo was the right move,

00:05:03or just a stupid decision made out of anger.

00:05:06I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years,

00:05:08and sat down at the desk.

00:05:10It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.

00:05:13I've recorded including the mayor's.

00:05:15I once sat in a high-end restaurant,

00:05:17and carefully watched how he ate,

00:05:19what he left on his plate.

00:05:21This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.

00:05:25Then suddenly, my phone rang.

00:05:29What did you say?

00:05:30Sea Mist Restaurant?

00:05:31Passed the qualification inspection?

00:05:34This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.

00:05:40With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.

00:05:42I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.

00:05:44He'd always seen my potential,

00:05:46and the moment he heard I was opening my own place,

00:05:47he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.

00:05:50You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.

00:05:53I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.

00:05:55All he knows is flashy tricks.

00:05:59I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.

00:06:03If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,

00:06:05he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest supplier.

00:06:09Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance.

00:06:11Too bad.

00:06:12All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream

00:06:16that never gets more than five people.

00:06:18He didn't recognize him at all.

00:06:20Don't say I never give you a chance.

00:06:22The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.

00:06:26My dear little brother,

00:06:27I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.

00:06:31And make sure you bring your wife Mia.

00:06:34I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.

00:06:40Percy's laugh was full of contempt.

00:06:42He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.

00:06:45Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.

00:06:47And at an event like this,

00:06:48his little brother, the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,

00:06:52would be the perfect person to compare himself to.

00:06:55I'll be there on time.

00:06:58Here's ten bucks.

00:07:00Go park my car for me.

00:07:05Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.

00:07:09Percy was so sure of it,

00:07:11that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.

00:07:15But he overlooked him.

00:07:15A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.

00:07:19Insignificant.

00:07:20Obedient.

00:07:20Beneath notice.

00:07:22When I got home,

00:07:23I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.

00:07:27I could see the worry in her eyes.

00:07:29No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.

00:07:33Can't you see?

00:07:35He stole the fruits of your hard work,

00:07:37and now he wants to humiliate you in public.

00:07:39Mia, I've already decided to go.

00:07:42If he tries to embarrass me,

00:07:44I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.

00:07:50A place that was always meant to be mine.

00:07:53Fine.

00:07:55I'll go with you.

00:07:59Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.

00:08:02He was waiting by the door for something.

00:08:04The moment he saw Mia and me show up,

00:08:06his eyes locked onto us like a radar.

00:08:09Look, there's my little brother.

00:08:13Let me introduce you all.

00:08:15This is my brother Grayson.

00:08:16He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor

00:08:20and thinks he's going to compete with me.

00:08:22Percy said it like a joke.

00:08:24All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.

00:08:26Even Mia's smile froze on her face.

00:08:31A year ago,

00:08:33I went through hell to land the supplier

00:08:35with the highest food safety rating.

00:08:37Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are

00:08:40to a restaurant.

00:08:43And now that top-tier supplier belongs to me.

00:08:46The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?

00:08:49Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.

00:08:56This tuna smells really weird.

00:08:59I tried to warn them about quality control,

00:09:01but Percy never listened to a word I said.

00:09:07Grayson, step aside.

00:09:10The new guy here can actually handle a knife.

00:09:17Grayson, you just stand aside and watch.

00:09:19Even for a line cook, you've still got a lot to learn.

00:09:22Percy didn't care about my skills.

00:09:25He asked me to come to the kitchen

00:09:27only to humiliate me with the new hire

00:09:29to prove I was good for nothing.

00:09:32But he had no idea how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.

00:09:37Without real knife skills,

00:09:38you can't handle it properly.

00:09:40Especially a piece of cheap, low-quality tuna like this.

00:09:46Percy, you're going to regret everything you've done today.

00:09:49I swear it.

00:09:50I'm just trying to make my little brother better.

00:09:53Otherwise, how is he going to support you

00:09:54and the baby in your belly?

00:09:56With that failing restaurant across the street?

00:10:01I'll learn from him.

00:10:04After today, one of us will be famous

00:10:06and the other will be a nobody.

00:10:11Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.

00:10:15That is right.

00:10:16After today, one of us is going to take over the world

00:10:20and the other is going to fade into obscurity.

00:10:23I watched very carefully.

00:10:25Joss thought I was actually learning

00:10:26and he even took the time to explain things to me.

00:10:28I smiled.

00:10:29With such lousy technique,

00:10:31that Blue Fied Tuna was going to end up

00:10:33as nothing but a pile of ruined meat in his hands.

00:10:36And the mayor.

00:10:38He hates nothing more

00:10:39than being handed low-quality.

00:10:42Butchered tuna.

00:10:43Like it is no big deal.

00:10:48You know what Percy nets a year?

00:10:50Six million dollars.

00:10:52You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.

00:10:55You really should just stick with your brother.

00:10:57That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.

00:11:01Don't mind them, Grayson.

00:11:03What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.

00:11:09That's enough.

00:11:10You're all way out of line.

00:11:12The truth is, he's better than every one of you.

00:11:16Grayson, control your wife.

00:11:18This isn't the place for a scene.

00:11:20Easy, Mia.

00:11:21I'm fine.

00:11:30Here's my card.

00:11:31You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.

00:11:34Percy looked at me in disbelief.

00:11:36He never expected that after being humiliated like that.

00:11:38Grayson, what are you doing here?

00:11:39I'd still be able to hand out my business card.

00:11:41Everyone looked embarrassed.

00:11:43No one took it.

00:11:46Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?

00:11:49Don't be ridiculous.

00:11:50I smiled and shook my head.

00:11:53I swear, one day they'll be begging to work with me.

00:12:02These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.

00:12:05Everyone, help yourselves.

00:12:09I could see right through it.

00:12:11The dishes looked exactly the same as before, but the ingredients had changed.

00:12:15Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money.

00:12:18But he doesn't understand his customers.

00:12:21Every single one of them has a picky palate.

00:12:23Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences,

00:12:27he can never make the perfect dish.

00:12:30At the table, the guests could already tell something was off with the food.

00:12:34But because they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to ignore it.

00:12:37The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry.

00:12:41Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year.

00:12:45How much money he'd made.

00:12:47Mia was so upset, she couldn't even eat.

00:12:49The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.

00:12:52But that wasn't enough for Percy.

00:12:54He brought me up again.

00:12:56Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still come back.

00:13:02I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs.

00:13:06But you are my little brother after all.

00:13:09Percy, you're such a good man.

00:13:11Your brother has a death wish opening a restaurant right across from you,

00:13:15and you're still looking out for him.

00:13:18Of course.

00:13:19What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?

00:13:22Without Percy, he's nothing.

00:13:27I was furious.

00:13:28All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.

00:13:31No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.

00:13:34Percy was soaking up the praise, laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.

00:13:39And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.

00:13:42The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor can only be my sea-mist restaurant.

00:13:47I raised my glass, a calm smile on my face.

00:13:50You're alright.

00:13:51Everything I do I learn from Percy, my respected big brother.

00:13:56The mayor was arriving any minute.

00:13:58Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.

00:14:03Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.

00:14:06Even though you had the nerve to leave me, I still invited you to this important event.

00:14:10And the only reason is because you're my brother.

00:14:14Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.

00:14:21I looked at the mayor.

00:14:23I knew my chance had come.

00:14:28Percy was in the dining room, chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world.

00:14:32He had no idea his restaurant was heading straight to hell.

00:14:36Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter.

00:14:38Meanwhile, the highest quality bluefin tuna was being delivered to Sea Mist Restaurant,

00:14:45where the expensive head chef I hired was handling the premium tuna,

00:14:48according to the methods written in my notebook.

00:14:51My dear fans, it's showtime.

00:14:53The mayor is here.

00:14:54Today I'll show the world true top-tier cooking.

00:14:57Some bottom-fleeling trash running a cheap diner couldn't even dream of reaching this level.

00:15:06Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream,

00:15:09let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother, Grayson.

00:15:12Never been smart.

00:15:13Only good for the dirty work in the back.

00:15:16He recently opened some dump called Sea Mist right over there.

00:15:20If you ever feel like your stomach's too full and you need to throw up,

00:15:24feel free to go try his chemical waste.

00:15:28Percy, you're too soft.

00:15:30Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.

00:15:35Mr. Mayor, here's my card.

00:15:37I'm good at making otoyu sushi.

00:15:39Are you crazy?

00:15:41A little place that can't even fit two people in the bathroom

00:15:44and you think you can hand the mayor your business card?

00:15:46My restaurant is spotless, and my ingredients are the best.

00:15:51I don't think square footage determines quality.

00:15:54Grayson, stop embarrassing yourself here.

00:16:00Young man, you have something those greedy businessmen don't.

00:16:04You're calm.

00:16:05I like that.

00:16:07The mayor sure has a sense of humor.

00:16:09He's just teaching the young generation to stay humble.

00:16:14Grayson, the only reason the mayor hasn't kicked you out is out of respect for me.

00:16:18Stop any of your pathetic delusions.

00:16:29Please take a seat.

00:16:41Mr. Mayor, this is our signature dish, otoro sushi.

00:16:45I promise you'll love it.

00:16:48Iron Anchor's otoro sushi is one of a kind, Mr. Mayor.

00:16:52I guarantee you'll fall for it.

00:16:53The knife work, the technique, absolutely flawless.

00:16:58In the past, the otoro sushi really was one of a kind.

00:17:02But this time, without top quality ingredients and skilled knife work,

00:17:07the only thing coming out of that kitchen is a one of a kind piece of garbage.

00:17:34Oh my god, what the hell is that garbage?

00:17:38At that same moment, the otoro sushi I prepared was being carefully packed up

00:17:42and was already on its way.

00:17:44We are about to serve the very first dish from Seamist Restaurant.

00:17:50Everyone, stay sharp.

00:17:53Yes!

00:17:55Yes!

00:18:07Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.

00:18:10Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.

00:18:13His smile vanished.

00:18:14Guests gagged.

00:18:15The mayor slammed his fork down on the table in fury.

00:18:17Percy!

00:18:18This is the signature dish you've been bragging about?

00:18:20Open your damn eyes!

00:18:21Is this meant for humans?

00:18:22I held Mia close and watched.

00:18:24Cold.

00:18:25Percy's face went pale.

00:18:26Cold sweat dripped from his temples down into his collar.

00:18:29But he wasn't done.

00:18:30He fell back on his pathetic sales pitch, desperate to cover up the rot.

00:18:34No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain.

00:18:36This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.

00:18:40Advanced aging.

00:18:41No, he just served the mayor cheap.

00:18:43Old meat to cut costs.

00:18:45The live stream was going wild.

00:18:47The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.

00:18:50Fine.

00:18:51You're so confident in this process?

00:18:53Then don't waste it.

00:18:54Bring it to him.

00:18:55Eat it, Percy.

00:18:56Every last piece, right now.

00:18:57No!

00:18:58No!

00:18:59You're resisting so hard.

00:19:00Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?

00:19:03No!

00:19:03Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.

00:19:05The security guard stepped forward.

00:19:07The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.

00:19:11Under the gaze of the citywide live stream, he was forced to swallow that rotten meat like a pathetic stray

00:19:17dog.

00:19:18He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away.

00:19:21Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.

00:19:24The mayor's fury was just the beginning.

00:19:26The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.

00:19:49Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 live stream viewers.

00:19:54No one knew better than me.

00:19:55Eating rotten bluefin tuna would cause mackerel poisoning.

00:19:58Soon, Percy showed all the signs.

00:20:00The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go help him.

00:20:06Damn it!

00:20:06You used rotten meat!

00:20:08That's why you're such a mess right now!

00:20:09Percy, you idiot!

00:20:10You just blew the entire war!

00:20:11No, no, no!

00:20:12It's not what you think!

00:20:13And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream in the entire city.

00:20:19Enough!

00:20:19I want a full investigation of Iron Anchor right now!

00:20:23Percy wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move.

00:20:25Soon enough, the iron door to Iron Anchor's back storage was violently pushed open.

00:20:30A stench of formaldehyde mixed with rotting blood hit everyone in the face.

00:20:34Cardboard boxes piled up like metals, their outer layers covered in mold.

00:20:38The smell is absolutely disgusting!

00:20:39Just thinking about the food I ate makes me want to strangle Percy with my bare hand!

00:20:43Percy was dragged to the storage door like a filthy rag.

00:20:46The mayor pointed angrily at the inside of the back room.

00:20:49This is the best ingredient warehouse in all of New York?

00:20:51Percy, you better explain this now!

00:20:55Percy scrambled, saying it was all the supplier's fault that he was a victim too.

00:20:59Tears streamed down his face as he got all emotional.

00:21:01At first, some people actually believed him.

00:21:03After all, Iron Anchor's reputation had been perfect.

00:21:05That was until a contract signed with the shady supplier was pulled out of a drawer.

00:21:08A hundred dollars a play and you spent three cents on the meat?

00:21:12Banned it.

00:21:12That's what it was.

00:21:13The money went to the cars.

00:21:14The fancy front.

00:21:15But the food, itself.

00:21:17He had zero respect for it.

00:21:18Mr. Mayor, let me explain.

00:21:20I was just trying to save money.

00:21:21I didn't know the supplier would give me bad meat.

00:21:23I'd give me bad meat.

00:21:24You didn't know?

00:21:25You're playing games with people's lives!

00:21:29Percy looked around in despair.

00:21:30Nothing but contempt.

00:21:32And the mayor's fury was even more terrifying than he'd imagined.

00:21:34If this is the best Surla Street has to offer, then I will shut down every single restaurant

00:21:38on this entire street.

00:21:39The whole place erupted.

00:21:40Every business owner's face dropped.

00:21:42If the whole street got shut down, they would lose countless future business deals.

00:21:45Percy, you animal!

00:21:46You want to serve trash?

00:21:47Fine!

00:21:48But don't drag the rest of us down with you!

00:21:50You disgusting little roach!

00:21:51Go to hell!

00:21:52That is human nature.

00:21:53When Percy was on top, they were his loyal supporters.

00:21:55The moment he fell, everyone wanted to kick him.

00:21:57While he was down, Mia looked worried.

00:21:59She was afraid my restaurant would get caught up in this too.

00:22:01I patted her hand.

00:22:02I'd just gotten my license.

00:22:03I was fully confident I could turn the tide on Surla Street.

00:22:05And if I timed it right, my chef should be here in a second.

00:22:12Percy panicked.

00:22:13Iron Anchor was facing closure.

00:22:15And me, his worthless little brother, bringing in a chef with the very same cut of fish.

00:22:19Grayson, what the hell do you think you're doing?

00:22:22Mr. Mayor, before you give up on this street, please give real Surla Street cuisine one chance.

00:22:27Percy pulled himself up off the floor and stormed over to me, furious.

00:22:30That garbage from your $500 dump has no place in front of the mayor!

00:22:35I'm warning you.

00:22:37Throw that trash away!

00:22:38Mia was never one to just take it lying down.

00:22:40The second she heard that, she hauled off and slapped Percy right across the face.

00:22:43Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face, you arrogant jerk!

00:22:47Three minutes ago, you were serving the mayor garbage.

00:22:50Whatever my husband has in that box is worth more than you and your whole restaurant ever were!

00:22:54You dare put your hands on me?

00:22:56You shameless bitch!

00:22:57The mayor beat me to it.

00:22:59He had his security restrained Percy, then looked at the takeout box in my hand.

00:23:03I think I'd like to try something made by a man with some composure.

00:23:07See, Mr. Restaurant.

00:23:09Please enjoy.

00:23:24I've never seen sashimi with such perfect texture.

00:23:27It's as thin as a leaf.

00:23:28The aroma's so rich.

00:23:30My mouth is watering.

00:23:31The livestream went wild.

00:23:33Two, the comments were full of curiosity about my food.

00:23:35Because of this turnaround, the viewer count instantly skyrocketed by 10,000.

00:23:41Tuna of this grade.

00:23:42My supplier swore I was his only client in Manhattan.

00:23:44Your so-called supply chain is just a transaction.

00:23:46What Grayson earned is the supplier's respect.

00:23:48He deserves to have the best ingredients, way more than your iron anchor ever did.

00:23:52I watched the mayor's fingertips tremble.

00:23:55That is the instinctive reaction of a true gourmet in the presence of something transcendent.

00:24:00Percy always thought waving his checkbook around on livestream would let him control everything.

00:24:04But he never knew.

00:24:06Some ingredients can't be bought.

00:24:07They choose who deserves them.

00:24:11My God.

00:24:12The sweetness.

00:24:13The way this fat just dissolves.

00:24:15It's melting on your tongue.

00:24:16Grayson, I take back what I said earlier.

00:24:18This isn't just food.

00:24:19This is art.

00:24:21This year's industry benchmark restaurant is not this foul-smelling iron anchor.

00:24:26It goes to...

00:24:33Wait.

00:24:34C-Mist shouldn't even be in the running.

00:24:35Everyone knows that place is a dump.

00:24:37Full of grease and rats.

00:24:39It doesn't even meet basic health and safety standards.

00:24:41Percy looked at me with that smug expression.

00:24:43Like he'd finally cornered the clown.

00:24:45Too bad.

00:24:46This time, the joke was on him.

00:24:48Save the pity, Grayson.

00:24:49I know you tried really hard to steal first place from me.

00:24:52Too bad.

00:24:54Trying isn't enough.

00:24:55You'll never surpass me, little brother.

00:24:57Mr. Mayor.

00:24:59It would be my honor to lead the way and show everyone this garbage-dimp Grayson calls a restaurant.

00:25:06That place has been closed for ages.

00:25:08I heard the last owner was so bitter.

00:25:10He poured cooking oil all over the floors on his way out.

00:25:12You can't even walk in there.

00:25:14That's right.

00:25:14And he left all kinds of expired food in there, too.

00:25:17It's probably a full-blown rat kingdom by now.

00:25:19What right does a dump like that have to call itself a restaurant?

00:25:22What do we do?

00:25:24Mr. Mayor, and everyone here, as the owner of C-Mist Restaurant, I invite you all to come

00:25:30see it for yourselves.

00:25:31You idiot.

00:25:33Get ready to watch your precious restaurant get shut down.

00:25:36My dear fans, I'm about to show you the most chaotic, filthiest garbage dump on Surla

00:25:43Street.

00:25:43You cannot imagine how absolutely disgusting that place is.

00:25:50Percy, lying has consequences.

00:25:53It's totally fake.

00:25:54I guarantee you, behind this door, it's nothing but trash and stink.

00:25:57Just wait and see.

00:25:59Percy's smug smile kept growing, but all of that was about to come to a screeching halt

00:26:03the second I opened that door.

00:26:10This is impossible.

00:26:11Oh my god!

00:26:13In just a few days, that dump has completely changed.

00:26:16It's so clean and tidy.

00:26:18Way more pleasant to look at than Iron Anchor's tacky, flashy decorations.

00:26:27Grayson, your taste is just as impressive as your food.

00:26:37Man, this place is cleaner than an operating room.

00:26:40I worked around the clock, kneeling on that filthy floor, scrubbing every single crack

00:26:45with a brush.

00:26:45Percy spent his money on those gouty chandeliers that blind you.

00:26:48I spent mine on every little detail you can touch.

00:26:51This is all just for show!

00:26:52You can fake the decor, but you can't fake the ingredients!

00:26:58Grayson, you're broke!

00:26:59Your monthly rent is 500 bucks.

00:27:01How can you afford pop-grade blue-fit tuna?

00:27:04I bet that piece he just fed you was the only decent one he's got.

00:27:07His freezer must be packed with cheap frozen garbage.

00:27:11Trash will always be trash!

00:27:14You want to see?

00:27:15I'll show you.

00:27:22So many.

00:27:23Tuna of this quality, only three restaurants in all of New York can get their hands on these.

00:27:30Percy, take a good look.

00:27:32This is what you call garbage.

00:27:34No!

00:27:35You must have injected poison into these rotten fish!

00:27:37Sprayed them with chemicals!

00:27:38Who the hell is insulting my fish?

00:27:44You are...

00:27:45I worked with Iron Anchor for a whole year.

00:27:48Not once did you bother to remember my name.

00:27:50Percy, you're an absolute idiot.

00:27:54You're Iron Anchor's biggest supplier from this past year.

00:27:57You traitor!

00:27:58You're the traitor!

00:27:59And premium ingredients should go to people who actually appreciate them!

00:28:04Mr. Mayor, I'm the largest seafood distributor in California.

00:28:07I hereby certify that all ingredients used by Sea Mist Restaurant are exclusively supplied through my special channel with the

00:28:14highest A-level safety rating.

00:28:16Mr. Grayson is the most knowledgeable person about ingredients I've ever met.

00:28:21That's why I ended all my contracts with Iron Anchor for him.

00:28:24Are you insane?

00:28:26Are you insane?

00:28:26I give you millions of dollars a year!

00:28:28What about him?

00:28:29All he got was the lousy hundred grand I threw at him!

00:28:32After lashing out at the supplier, Percy turned his rage back on me.

00:28:36Grayson!

00:28:36You ungrateful snake!

00:28:39You took the hundred grand I gave you and used it to steal my supplier and become my enemy?

00:28:43Don't you have any family loyalty at all?

00:28:46Percy.

00:28:49Percy, out of that hundred grand, ninety thousand was purchasing money I fronted for you.

00:28:57The remaining ten thousand was what you paid me for three years of working my ass off day and night.

00:29:04You thought you could buy my dignity.

00:29:06I'm taking it back with my own hands.

00:29:08We're even.

00:29:09And don't forget, this supplier was mine from the very beginning.

00:29:13Percy's eyes went unfocused.

00:29:14It looked like he was finally remembering how hard I worked a year ago,

00:29:18visiting supplier after supplier,

00:29:20screening through thousands of them to find this one.

00:29:23Percy wanted to keep arguing,

00:29:24but fate wasn't going to give him any more chances.

00:29:28Mr. Mayor, it's not just the ingredients.

00:29:30The entire interior of Iron Anchor is built with the cheapest,

00:29:32most flammable formalhyde-laden boards just painted over with a layer of gold.

00:29:35Iron Anchor is basically a poison gas chamber that would explode the second it touches fire.

00:29:42That's disgusting.

00:29:44All for show.

00:29:45Percy, get out of the restaurant industry.

00:29:49Mr. Mayor, I was wrong.

00:29:51I just wanted the restaurant to look better.

00:29:53You risked people's lives just to look good?

00:29:56Percy's tears rolled down his fake, lying face.

00:29:59He used to throw money in front of me and call me a country bumpin' who'd never seen the world.

00:30:04And now, that live-streaming empire he so carefully built was collapsing inch by inch in front of a global

00:30:11audience.

00:30:11I hereby declare Sea Mist Restaurant, the industry benchmark restaurant for this year.

00:30:18Effective immediately, Iron Anchor's business license is permanently revoked.

00:30:24All assets are to be seized.

00:30:26Percy is under official investigation for food safety crimes and commercial fraud.

00:30:33Now, throw this cockroach out of here.

00:30:43Grayson!

00:30:44Save me!

00:30:45You're my own little brother.

00:30:46Your restaurant is right across the street.

00:30:48You can fix this.

00:30:49You have to.

00:30:50I gave him a year.

00:30:51A whole year.

00:30:53But all he ever learned was how to put on a show for his live screen.

00:30:56Grayson!

00:30:59Grayson, I'm begging you.

00:31:00You're tight with the mayor.

00:31:01Please put in a good word for me.

00:31:02You can't let them close my place.

00:31:04That's everything I've got.

00:31:05Everything you've got, Percy?

00:31:07You call rotten meat and fake gold paint everything you've got?

00:31:10Just don't shut me down.

00:31:11I'll do anything you want.

00:31:12I'll give you all the shares.

00:31:14You come back and be the boss.

00:31:15I'll work for you.

00:31:16I'll be your line cook.

00:31:17Percy, do you remember how you humiliated Grayson?

00:31:20You said he was only worth 2,000 bucks.

00:31:22You said a homeless guy off the street could replace him.

00:31:25A year ago, I begged him in the pouring rain just like this

00:31:29to pay the supplier what he owed.

00:31:31He rolled down his car window, blew smoke in my face,

00:31:34and told me I didn't understand business.

00:31:37Percy, your biggest mistake wasn't greed.

00:31:39It was that you never learned to respect food.

00:31:42Someone who can make the finest fish smell like death

00:31:44has no place in a kitchen.

00:31:47You're really going to just let me die?

00:31:48For old times' sake, since you want to be a line cook so bad,

00:31:52C-Miss just happens to be looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.

00:31:552,000 a month.

00:31:56And the only reason I'm even offering it to you

00:31:58is out of respect for you being my big brother.

00:32:04Mr. Grayson, I'm officially transferring my $5 million annual banquet booking

00:32:08to C-Miss restaurant.

00:32:09Name your price.

00:32:10Just make sure that Oto Sushi shows up at my event.

00:32:12Grayson, this is a long-term letter of intent

00:32:14from the Manhattan Restaurant Association.

00:32:16We're willing to pay a 50% premium

00:32:17as long as C-Miss agrees to be our partner.

00:32:20Three hours ago, these same people watched Percy humiliate me in front of everyone.

00:32:23They laughed at me, a lowly line cook who didn't know his place.

00:32:25Now, they're willing to pay double just to beg me for a partnership.

00:32:28C-Miss will only sign with one partner in the next year.

00:32:31That spot, you'll have to fight for it yourselves.

00:32:34I have the strongest capital.

00:32:36That spot belongs to me.

00:32:37What can you offer besides money?

00:32:39I can provide the biggest advertising and sales channels.

00:32:42Get lost.

00:32:42This opportunity is mine.

00:32:48With the mayor's endorsement and the title of industry benchmark restaurant,

00:32:52C-Miss was splattered all over countless posters.

00:32:56Customers poured into C-Miss non-stop.

00:32:59Mia and I opened three more locations together.

00:33:02I never held back.

00:33:03I shared everything I knew.

00:33:05C-Miss will always stand for healthy, delicious food.

00:33:15All those prepayments that should have gone into Iron Anchor's account,

00:33:18they were now flooding into mine instead.

00:33:22Oh my God, I can't believe my eyes.

00:33:24Grayson, in less than half an hour, the prepayments have already topped three million.

00:33:29We made it!

00:33:30Grayson, you deserve this.

00:33:32The restaurant industry doesn't need some performer who only knows how to lie.

00:33:36It needs craftsmen like you.

00:33:38People with soul when it comes to food.

00:33:41This is the contract for government catering for the next year.

00:33:50Pleasure doing business with you.

00:33:52At that moment, Percy, his face caked with mud, pressed himself against the window like a ghost,

00:33:58watching me sign contract after contract, signing away millions of dollars.

00:34:02Furious, he tried to get in, but the security guard at the door shoved him back,

00:34:07sending him tumbling down the steps.

00:34:09Get out of my way!

00:34:11That bastard Grayson took everything from me!

00:34:13This was supposed to be mine!

00:34:15Move along!

00:34:16This is no place for a homeless guy!

00:34:18He was out there watching.

00:34:20I was in here sitting.

00:34:22That single pane of glass was the line between heaven and hell.

00:34:26He used to say that without him, I'd be begging for food in Chinatown.

00:34:31Now, he can't even get past the door of my restaurant.

00:34:35Grayson!

00:34:36You traitor!

00:34:41Percy was curled up next to a stinking dumpster.

00:34:44His $1,000 tuxedo was caked with grime.

00:34:48He was too afraid to go home,

00:34:50because all the partners he'd arrogantly signed with before were now turning on him after Iron Anchor got shut down.

00:34:56What awaited him was massive penalty fees and the fury of every single one of those partners.

00:35:07Hello?

00:35:08Boss, just give me a little more time.

00:35:10Time?

00:35:11Percy, your old frozen meat, got my license revoked.

00:35:15According to the contract, you owe me triple the penalty.

00:35:17That's $2 million.

00:35:19If I don't see that money by tomorrow morning, you can go feed the fish in the Hudson River.

00:35:28Percy, this is James from Seafood Logistics.

00:35:31That industry benchmark prize you promised was total bullshit.

00:35:34I want my shipping fees and the $500,000 penalty.

00:35:36Transfer it now.

00:35:37Otherwise, I'm sending your address to every creditor in Manhattan.

00:35:41Percy pinned all his remaining hope on live streaming.

00:35:44He begged his viewers to send him money, to save Iron Anchor.

00:35:48He made a complete fool of himself, like a stray dog losing every shred of dignity.

00:35:52He did pathetic stunts.

00:35:53He even fought homeless people for food.

00:35:55You felled us garbage for so long.

00:35:57What right does an animal like you have to ask for our forgiveness?

00:36:00Report him.

00:36:01Make him disappear for good.

00:36:03No, no, no.

00:36:04If I hadn't skimped on that $90,000, if I hadn't pushed him away,

00:36:08that $6 million would have been mine.

00:36:09The mayor's praise would have been mine, too.

00:36:11He finally understood.

00:36:13Losing me wasn't just losing a line cook.

00:36:15It was losing his only brain and his last chance to be a decent human being.

00:36:19The live stream ban was the final straw that broke Percy.

00:36:23He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant, glowing with lights, and finally broke down sobbing.

00:36:29I was wrong.

00:36:32Grayson, I was really wrong.

00:36:38Time to pay up.

00:36:43Hear my love.

00:36:46No, no.

00:36:48Grayson, help me.

00:36:49Help me.

00:36:53I took Mia out for a nice meal.

00:36:55Because we were so poor last year,

00:36:57I couldn't even feed my pregnant wife decent food more than a few times.

00:37:02Mia, thank you.

00:37:04For everything.

00:37:06These past three years.

00:37:08Grayson, I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:37:10A month ago, we were stressing over $500 in rent.

00:37:14Dreams end.

00:37:15But these numbers don't lie.

00:37:17Three days ago, I sat here watching Percy throw money around like it was nothing.

00:37:20Now, Sea Mist's weekly revenue alone equals his entire net profit from last year.

00:37:25Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

00:37:27Grayson, the prepayments and net profit, it's over $6 million?

00:37:31That's just the first week.

00:37:32With the mayor's endorsement, every big name in New York, politicians, and socialettes alike is lining up.

00:37:38We're already booked through Christmas next year.

00:37:40We're rich.

00:37:41We can give our child the best education.

00:37:44We never have to live under Percy's thumb again.

00:37:46I looked at Mia's excited face.

00:37:48It warmed my heart.

00:37:50To the future.

00:37:52Cheers.

00:37:54And Percy, at that very moment, he was huddled next to a dumpster, gnawling on someone else's disparted bread.

00:38:04I moved Mia out of that tiny rental apartment and bought the best estate in the city.

00:38:08Mr. Grayson, this is the most private estate in the entire city.

00:38:11It comes with its own helipad and a top of the security system.

00:38:14Do you like it?

00:38:15The sunlight here is beautiful.

00:38:17Perfect for our kid to run around on the grass someday.

00:38:19I never imagined I'd live in a place like this someday.

00:38:22Grayson, this is too expensive.

00:38:24Mia, you deserve the best.

00:38:25Just sign it.

00:38:26This will be our family's safe haven.

00:38:28Now, I bought the estate that Percy never even dared to dream of stepping foot in.

00:38:33And him?

00:38:34He's hiding in some dark corner, running from the creditors.

00:38:38The soft opening of CMIS Branch was a huge success.

00:38:40We can officially launch the expansion plan now.

00:38:43Yes, Mr. Grayson.

00:38:44The top ten commercial districts are all fighting for us to set up there.

00:38:47The contracts are ready.

00:38:48Tell them this.

00:38:49CMIS has only one standard.

00:38:51The finest ingredients, absolute transparency.

00:38:54Percy failed because he looked at his customers and saw cash cows.

00:38:57I succeeded because I treat food like a religion.

00:39:00Expanding the business isn't about hoarding money.

00:39:03It's about letting more people around the world enjoy this food.

00:39:06Grayson, we're really starting a new life.

00:39:11The first stop for our expansion?

00:39:14That port Percy always wanted to take over for himself.

00:39:29Goodbye, Grayson.

00:39:30You made it.

00:39:32You goddamn piece of trash.

00:39:34You actually sold banned meat?

00:39:36Are you even human?

00:39:37Dad, I was just trying to make money.

00:39:40Who knew that ungrateful snake, Grayson, would turn on me?

00:39:43Turn on you?

00:39:44If it weren't for him, we'd all be in prison right now because of you.

00:39:48We have no place for a beast like you.

00:39:51I was tasting the finest wine in my estate.

00:39:53Percy was in that old house, taking the beating my parents should have given him long ago.

00:39:57He used to think he was the pride of the family.

00:39:59In truth, he was just a cowardly, rotten parasite.

00:40:02You're a monster!

00:40:03Get out!

00:40:03Stop hitting me!

00:40:05Grayson is loaded.

00:40:06He's got tens of millions now.

00:40:08Make him help me!

00:40:11You still have the nerve to mention him?

00:40:13When you paid him 2,000 bucks, did you ever stop to think he was your little brother?

00:40:18Get out!

00:40:19Go be a line cook out on the streets!

00:40:28His nightmare had only just begun.

00:40:41What happened at Iron Anchor was a misunderstanding.

00:40:43I already switched suppliers.

00:40:46Just lift the ban, please.

00:40:48Give me one more day.

00:40:50Mr. Percy, your restaurant is on the national blacklist now.

00:40:54Old frozen meat and formalide-laden decor?

00:40:57Those search terms are number one on Google.

00:40:59Stop wasting our time.

00:41:00Get out and don't bring that stench into our office.

00:41:03Reputation takes a year to build and one plate of rotten Otoro sushi to destroy.

00:41:13Lisa!

00:41:15Where are you going?

00:41:17My cards are frozen.

00:41:18You have to help me.

00:41:18Help you?

00:41:19Percy?

00:41:20Right now, you're worse than a homeless guy on the street.

00:41:23These bottles are my appearance fee for putting on that show with you for a year.

00:41:27Don't contact me again.

00:41:29I don't want creditors thinking I'm your partner.

00:41:31The love he was so proud of?

00:41:35It ran faster than anyone the moment Iron Anchor got shut down.

00:41:40That's my car!

00:41:42That's my money!

00:41:49Watching Percy fall apart like this, I couldn't help but feel grateful that the woman by my side is Mia.

00:41:58With nowhere left to go, Percy stole mom and dad's retirement savings and borrowed a huge junk of money from

00:42:04the neighbors.

00:42:05My parents called me to handle it.

00:42:07I bought the most expensive estate in Manhattan, a place with a garden bigger than Percy's entire restaurant.

00:42:13I brought Mia back here to show my parents that their younger son, the one they called just a line

00:42:18cook, was the true pride of the family.

00:42:24Mom, just $20,000.

00:42:27Give it to me and I'll pay you back ten times when I'm back on top.

00:42:30You animal!

00:42:31You stole the money mom needs for her heart surgery and you scamp the neighbors.

00:42:34We can't even show our faces outside anymore.

00:42:36Are you going to drive us crazy?

00:42:37Grayson, you ungrateful snake.

00:42:39You live in a mansion, wear suits worth tens of thousands, and you just watch your own brother die?

00:42:44Dad, mom, here are the keys to your new house, a villa I bought for you on the Upper East

00:42:48Side.

00:42:49It comes with the best in-home doctors.

00:42:51Percy, don't you dare use the word family to disgust me.

00:42:54The moment you stole their retirement money, you should have realized you're already out of this family.

00:43:02Money! That's mine!

00:43:05You owe me!

00:43:06This money is for the neighbors.

00:43:08As for you, Percy, you don't deserve to touch a single cent.

00:43:11I was wearing clothes he could never afford in his lifetime.

00:43:14I was standing at a height he would never reach.

00:43:16And he was down on the ground like a dog, finally realizing he had lost.

00:43:27Good morning, Mr. Grayson.

00:43:29Thank you for the jobs you've provided.

00:43:31Mr. Grayson, Seamist Restaurant is truly the pride of this entire street.

00:43:36A month ago, when I walked down this street, everyone looked at me like I was a joke.

00:43:40Now, I own half the storefronts on this block, and the looks people give me have gone from contempt to

00:43:45respect.

00:43:47Suddenly, from the end of the street, a sharp scream cut through the air, followed by a sickening crunch.

00:43:53Two million in penalties!

00:43:54You promised to pay today!

00:43:56Where's the money?

00:44:01He's got money.

00:44:02That's my own brother.

00:44:03Go ask him.

00:44:04He could sneeze and have enough to pay you all off.

00:44:06A piece of trash like you!

00:44:08Dares to call him your brother?

00:44:09He just issued a statement in the paper!

00:44:10He's cutting all ties with you!

00:44:11No money, huh?

00:44:12Then we do it the old way.

00:44:14Let's start with two fingers.

00:44:21I took Mia's hand and stepped through the magnificent doors of Seamist Restaurant.

00:44:25Behind me, Percy's screams for help echoed as the debt cappers dragged him into the shadows.

00:44:29Please!

00:44:31Go tell those guys, don't let any blood get spilled in front of my restaurant, and make it quick.

00:44:36Yes, Mr. Grayson.

00:44:50From today on, Seamist is no longer just a restaurant.

00:44:53We're going to build the most legitimate food supply chain in this city.

00:44:57And the people on Surlate, if they're clean, no tricks, no dirt, I'll double their pay.

00:45:02Yes, Grayson!

00:45:04Grayson, congratulations on the new company.

00:45:06I left that loser, Percy, because I could see you were the real deal.

00:45:09The one who actually gets things done.

00:45:11Grayson, does Seamist need a PR director?

00:45:15Or maybe a personal assistant?

00:45:16I know everything you like.

00:45:18Just like I knew everything about Percy.

00:45:20Lisa, you sure knew Percy.

00:45:22You knew exactly how to kick him when he was down.

00:45:24And you know exactly how to crawl back like a parasite the second you smell money.

00:45:28Miss Lisa, Seamist doesn't need an assistant.

00:45:30But we are looking for a cleaner to take out the trash.

00:45:33But take a look at your clothes.

00:45:34I doubt you could even hold a rag, Stady.

00:45:35Get this piece of cheap, perfumed garbage out of here.

00:45:39From today on, if she shows up within a kilometer of Seamist, call the cops immediately.

00:45:44Grayson!

00:45:45Don't get cocky!

00:45:46You were just a line cook too!

00:45:49What?

00:45:50I watched her pathetic retreat.

00:45:52In the eyes of opportunists like her, every spot next to me has a price tag.

00:45:57But they don't know.

00:45:59Mia lived with me in that leaky rental apartment.

00:46:02I know for certain.

00:46:03She is the one and only love my life.

00:46:06Why do you keep staring at me?

00:46:10Mia.

00:46:12I think I owe you a grand wedding.

00:46:18I think I owe you a grand wedding.

00:46:28Mr. Grayson, do you take Mia to be your wife?

00:46:31To cherish her in both poverty and wealth?

00:46:33I do.

00:46:37Today, all those wealthy socialettes who used to mock us as the poor couple are sitting

00:46:43right there in the audience, applauding us with the most flattering cheers.

00:46:47This is the coronation I promised my wife.

00:46:56Grayson, save me!

00:46:58The Debt Kalua's broke my fingers.

00:46:59I'm in the alley, right outside the church.

00:47:01Please, just give me $50,000 one last time.

00:47:06Is it him?

00:47:15Someone who doesn't matter.

00:47:17He doesn't get to disturb our wedding.

00:47:18I'm not going to pile on someone already down.

00:47:21Not out of mercy.

00:47:23He's just not worth my time.

00:47:25But I'm not a pushover either.

00:47:27Kindness needs teeth.

00:47:28Or it means nothing.

00:47:38That was mine.

00:47:40That should have been mine.

00:47:42That $6 million.

00:47:43The fame.

00:47:44The woman.

00:47:45All of it was mine.

00:47:46I bought the most expensive billboard in Times Square and played my wedding video on loop.

00:47:52Percy watched the screen in fury.

00:47:54Percy, your big shot brother already said he's stripping you of his last name.

00:47:58You don't even have a surname anymore now.

00:47:59He's got money.

00:48:00He's got billions.

00:48:01Go kill him.

00:48:02Kill him and all that money becomes mine.

00:48:04Kill him?

00:48:05Grayson is the mayor's right-hand gun now.

00:48:08He's got thousands of bodyguards.

00:48:10But you, your eyeballs are worth something.

00:48:12How about we take them as interest first?

00:48:17Grayson, you think you've won?

00:48:19Your woman's about to give birth, right?

00:48:21You're going to regret this.

00:48:23I'm going to destroy your happiness.

00:48:25Completely.

00:48:26I thought he would just wither away in his despair.

00:48:29I underestimated how deeply greed and jealousy can twist into a person's soul.

00:48:34A vicious plan was closing in on me.

00:48:46Grayson!

00:48:47You live in a mansion worth thousands of square feet, and you're going to let me freeze to death out

00:48:52here?

00:48:53Grayson, you know, he is your own brother.

00:48:55Can't you give him one more chance?

00:48:56A year ago, Percy was throwing money around at Iron Ankle while Mom and Dad lived in that leaky old

00:49:01house.

00:49:02He never once mentioned family.

00:49:04Now that he's drowning, he's using our elderly parents to play the guilt card.

00:49:08That kind of trick is disgusting to me even more than that plate of rotten otosushi.

00:49:17Brother, save me!

00:49:19Just transfer 10% of CMIS shares to me, and the creditors will leave me alone!

00:49:25Mom and Dad, please, say something for me!

00:49:28Grayson, those deck cleapers are beating Percy half to death!

00:49:31He still has the strength to beg.

00:49:33He still has the strength to come here.

00:49:35He's perfectly capable of pulling himself out of this mess.

00:49:38You cold-blooded freak!

00:49:48You tried to hurt your own little brother?

00:49:52Mom, Dad, this is the son you wanted me to help.

00:49:55He never once thought of us as family.

00:50:00I never kick a man when he's down, but I will not repay evil with kindness.

00:50:06In that moment, his last family card was burned to ash by my own hand.

00:50:12You animal!

00:50:14Now we only have one son, Grayson!

00:50:16Don't you ever show your face in front of us again!

00:50:19No, no, no!

00:50:21Mom!

00:50:21Dad!

00:50:22No, no, no!

00:50:24Dad!

00:50:25Dad!

00:50:26Dad!

00:50:28That hopeless bastard.

00:50:31Grayson, it was our fault for asking you to help him.

00:50:35Don't worry about it, Mom.

00:50:37Mr. Grayson, it's bad.

00:50:39While your parents were asleep, a man claiming to be their son forced his way in and took their

00:50:43bags.

00:50:43That animal?

00:50:45Those bags had Mom and Dad's life savings!

00:50:47Their only retirement money!

00:50:51I thought Percy would just crawl into some corner and wait to die after being exposed.

00:50:56I underestimated how desperate a gambler with nothing left to loss can become.

00:51:06He didn't steal that money to pay off his debts.

00:51:08He stole it to feed his delusional dream of a comeback.

00:51:14Grayson, we found him.

00:51:16Percy has hooked up with an underground factory in Brooklyn.

00:51:18They produce illegal chemical flavorings that are highly addictive.

00:51:22He's trying to use those poisons to copy C-Mist's taste and force his way back into the market.

00:51:26For a little money, he's willing to do something like this.

00:51:41Get the best medical team in the country.

00:51:4324-hour care for Mom and Dad.

00:51:45Do whatever it takes to keep them from finding out what that bastard Percy has done.

00:51:48As for Percy, I'm going to make him pay.

00:51:52Before, I just wanted to see him broken on the streets.

00:51:56Now, I'm going to take him out myself.

00:52:04Talk!

00:52:06What did that ungrateful bastard give you?

00:52:08How dare you call him the most conscientious chef in Manhattan on livestream?

00:52:13He was about to pass out from hunger and I gave him a burger.

00:52:16He's a good man.

00:52:18You're the real demon.

00:52:21A good man?

00:52:22I'll break the hand that fed him.

00:52:24You're the real demon.

00:52:30Percy, go ahead.

00:52:31Touch that hand and see what happens.

00:52:34Grayson!

00:52:35You think just because you're some big shot now, you're untouchable?

00:52:38This old man insulted me.

00:52:40I'll kill him!

00:52:44Oh, my hand!

00:52:46Grayson, you crazy bastard!

00:52:48That one's for the burger.

00:52:51My rule is simple.

00:52:52A kindness, I return it tenfold.

00:52:55A slight, I break the bone.

00:52:57And from that, delivered it.

00:53:02Sir, an apartment on the Upper East Side and a restaurant on Sorelli Street.

00:53:07They're yours now.

00:53:09Mr. Grayson.

00:53:12This is too much.

00:53:14This is nothing next to that burger you gave me back then.

00:53:17Percy lay there in the filthy water, watching the trash he'd just been kicking suddenly become a property owner he'd

00:53:23only ever dreamed of.

00:53:25Jealousy and pain drove me half insane.

00:53:32You just wait!

00:53:36While I sat atop C-Mist restaurant, enjoying the rich aroma of premium Wagyu, Percy was hiding in the stinking

00:53:43alleys of the slums, trying to make his last desperate comeback.

00:53:48Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:53:51You seein' this?

00:53:52This is what real charity looks like!

00:53:55C-Mist charges thousands for one meal!

00:53:58That's robbery!

00:53:59My bliss box is only $9.99!

00:54:02$9.99!

00:54:04Get it while it lasts!

00:54:06You losers!

00:54:07Eat it or don't, I don't care!

00:54:09Once I save up enough to buy out the C-Mist, you could beg for it on your knees!

00:54:13Get lost!

00:54:14All of you haters, get lost!

00:54:17He had become a complete outcast, despised by the entire internet.

00:54:21He was poisoning those poor people, using that nerve-destroying addictive flavoring to make money, dreaming of making a comeback.

00:54:28He was knight.

00:54:29The foundation of business has never been violent addiction.

00:54:32It's absolute control over the global supply chain.

00:54:41Grayson, you came to laugh at Rip Me?

00:54:43Look!

00:54:44Look at all these people in line!

00:54:46My capital is doubling!

00:54:48Soon I'll be able to buy out your fake little restaurant!

00:54:51What have you got to fight me with?

00:54:54In C-Mist Group's name, inform the Global Spice Association.

00:54:57From this moment on, whoever sells one gram of spice to any factory connected to Percy will be permanently erased

00:55:03from the global supply chain.

00:55:04Spice? I've got money, you idiot!

00:55:06I'll just buy some from Chinatown!

00:55:11What?

00:55:12Not just the big suppliers?

00:55:14Even the small workshops are canceling?

00:55:16They're demanding triple the refund?

00:55:18Without spice, I can't cover up the bitterness of all that expired rotten meat!

00:55:21Hello?

00:55:22Percy, without fire and salt, you can't even cook a plate of garbage.

00:55:27I cut off his last lifeline.

00:55:37Leo, you're the person Grayson trusts the most.

00:55:40Just put one drop of this vial into his tuna.

00:55:43This five million and shares in the new company.

00:55:46It's all yours.

00:55:48Five million.

00:55:49Gotta admit, that's tempting.

00:55:51Good!

00:55:52That arrogant bastard Grayson.

00:55:54He never imagined he'd be betrayed by someone he saved.

00:55:58Percy, looks like you forgot.

00:56:00Leo was about to go under.

00:56:01And I'm the one who pulled him out.

00:56:03Your filthy money couldn't even buy back the life I saved for him back then.

00:56:08When I save someone, loyalty is in their blood.

00:56:12Percy's blood?

00:56:13It's pure, rotting greed.

00:56:15Trying to buy loyalty with filthy garbage like that is basically him executing whatever intelligence he had left.

00:56:23Tell me, if you drank that stuff you cooked up yourself, what do you think would happen?

00:56:28No.

00:56:30No.

00:56:32Grayson, I'm your own brother.

00:56:34Don't kill me.

00:56:35Kill you?

00:56:37That would dirty my basement.

00:56:41Send him back.

00:56:42Crawling in the mud, that's the only thing that suits him.

00:56:45He took a step against me, so I'll make sure he never walks straight again.

00:56:49His dignity?

00:56:50I've stomped it straight into the gutter.

00:56:55Starting today, the Sea Mist Group is acquiring every last shop on Surla Street.

00:57:01All of you who didn't follow Percy when he was doing his dirty work,

00:57:04you each receive a 5% in the original shares.

00:57:10I came back to rebuild, not to take revenge.

00:57:14I wanted these honest people to know, follow Grayson,

00:57:17and even a vegetable seller can stand tall and make money right here in Manhattan.

00:57:26Hurry up.

00:57:27Just give me some bread.

00:57:28I'm starving.

00:57:29Here.

00:57:29Mr. Grayson specifically asked for this, for some special people.

00:57:34Three-day-old stale ends.

00:57:37I watched him.

00:57:41He once wanted to starve me.

00:57:44Now, he's only breathing because I choose to throw him scraps.

00:57:50Percy, you're not off the hook yet.

00:57:52That illegal factory's poison?

00:57:54Time for you to take a sip yourself.

00:58:02Everyone!

00:58:03Sea Mist Restaurant's so-called natural ingredients are nothing but a lie for the rich!

00:58:08Today, I'm going to expose Grayson's crimes, monopolizing spices and driving up prices!

00:58:17Our tech-based food costs only 1% of Sea Mistis, but tastes exactly the same.

00:58:23Grayson's era is over!

00:58:26I saw Percy's little circus act on the screen, and it did nothing to me.

00:58:30He's cozying up to those drug manufacturers who skate just inside the law trying to define

00:58:34great food with cheap-micle garbage.

00:58:35He doesn't understand.

00:58:37Real top-tier ingredients are a gift from the earth and the sun, not some molecular arrangement

00:58:41in a lab.

00:58:46Today, the Sea Mist group will roll out the global restaurant platinum standard.

00:58:50Any restaurant that does not meet the natural supply chain audit will be removed from the

00:58:55global procurement wild bist for good.

00:58:59Mr. Grayson's proposal is a beacon for the restaurant industry, and we support it, 100%.

00:59:05While Percy was still in that dark little corner trying to smear my name, I was at the

00:59:10top of the food chain, rewriting the rules of the game.

00:59:14He thinks he's competing with me.

00:59:16The truth is, he's just swarming between my fingers.

00:59:21Ah!

00:59:21This is impossible!

00:59:23Why would the WTO stand up for a guy who used to be a line cook?

00:59:28Leo, tell the people next door that my press conference is over.

00:59:32Now, it's time to take out the trash.

00:59:42Grayson!

00:59:43This is illegal entry!

00:59:45My tech food is the future of the industry!

00:59:48The future of the industry?

00:59:49This chemical waste that makes people hallucinate?

00:59:53This bowl of plain kanji, made simply with rice from the 40th parallel north and spring water

00:59:58from Crimea.

00:59:59Judges, please.

01:00:02This is the taste of a mother's cooking.

01:00:05This is the pure warmth of the earth.

01:00:07Today, I destroyed all his hypocrisy and arrogance with a single bowl of plain kanji.

01:00:11A true master chef doesn't need complex recipes.

01:00:13All he needs is a heart that respects nature.

01:00:16Percy's lab-made perfect flavor?

01:00:17Compared to the real deal, it's just a toxic fraud.

01:00:21This is the molecular formula for your synthetic meat.

01:00:25There's a high dose of neuroblockers in this.

01:00:27Keep eating it, and you'll go crazy.

01:00:30Percy, this isn't cooking.

01:00:32It's straight-up murder!

01:00:35Murderer!

01:00:36Get out of Manhattan!

01:00:37Go to hell, you piece of trash!

01:00:39No, no, this isn't true!

01:00:41Grayson, you're setting me up!

01:00:42Percy, the moment you decided to poison the world with your drugs, the gates of hell

01:00:46were already open for you.

01:00:52Percy knelt on the ground, covered in filth, clinging to his father's legs and wailing.

01:00:56His illegal lab had just been raided by the police.

01:00:59He was now a wanted criminal across the country.

01:01:01Dad, Mom, save me!

01:01:03Grayson is gonna kill me!

01:01:05He's gonna throw me into the meat grinder with all those creditors!

01:01:11Percy!

01:01:12You are still my eldest son, after all.

01:01:20Grayson, could you maybe?

01:01:27Mom, even now, you still think he just made a mistake?

01:01:30The first one, this is the pension transfer authorization he personally signed while you were both in the hospital.

01:01:35The second one, this is the contract where he mortgaged this family home to underground loan sharks behind your backs.

01:01:44You animal!

01:01:45You even stole our funeral fund!

01:01:47Do you want the two of us to die on the street?

01:01:49Dad, I was trying to make a comeback!

01:01:50Once my chemical sauce sells, I could buy you a hundred penthouses!

01:01:52Go.

01:01:53Just go, Percy.

01:01:55I don't have a son like you anymore.

01:01:58Percy, the biggest mistake you ever made was treating everyone around you as sacrificial lambs for your own success.

01:02:06Starting today, you are out of this family.

01:02:09Percy, do you remember what you said?

01:02:11That one of us would take over the world and the other would fade into obscurity?

01:02:14I'm going to make sure you watch me take over the world.

01:02:17Grayson, you goddamn bastard!

01:02:23Grayson, you said you wanted to settle family out.

01:02:26Counts on this day if you don't have solid evidence.

01:02:29You know the consequences.

01:02:31The Thorn family rule is pragmatism.

01:02:34But in dismantations, rules are just a cover-up for his greed.

01:02:38A year ago, Percy stood at a family gathering and mocked these hands of mine,

01:02:42saying they were only good for holding a kitchen knife.

01:02:44Today, I'm not just taking back my dignity.

01:02:46I'm tearing apart his lies with my own hands.

01:02:49He thought being family would save him, like a free pass.

01:02:52What he didn't know is that before absolute rules,

01:02:54every single betrayal comes with a price.

01:02:57First crime, exploitation.

01:02:58In the three years at Iron Anchor, he withheld $90,000 of my front per Pjorkin payment

01:03:03and treated me like cheap liber.

01:03:04Second crime, poisoning.

01:03:06He colluded with chemical companies and added nerve-blocking agents to the ingredients.

01:03:09This is a direct assault on the hundred-year reputation.

01:03:12Third crime, attempted murder.

01:03:14He tried to attack and harm me.

01:03:16Oh!

01:03:17You animal!

01:03:19You dare to harm your own brother?

01:03:21Fourth crime, and the most unforgivable one, embezzlement.

01:03:25While our parents were in the hospital, he stole their pension and mortgaged the family home.

01:03:29He tried to push the very people who raised him into the Hudson River.

01:03:32No!

01:03:33That was all for business!

01:03:34Grayson, you're insane!

01:03:36Evidence is cold, but people's hearts are hot.

01:03:38The moment those four crimes came together, to these elders, he was no longer the hope

01:03:42of the family.

01:03:42He was a rotting sword that had to be cut out.

01:03:44You worthless bastard!

01:03:46What do you have to say for yourself?

01:03:53Elder, even if I was wrong, I'm the only business genius in this family.

01:03:57Grayson is just a cook.

01:03:58He can't protect the family's legacy.

01:04:00A business genius?

01:04:02Parsi, all your so-called management is just chasing internet fame while clinging to the

01:04:07dying Iron Anchor restaurant.

01:04:12This is C-Mist Group's valuation.

01:04:15$100 billion.

01:04:17I don't just control one-third of the top-tier supply gen.

01:04:19I also have the industry medal personally awarded by the World Trade Organization.

01:04:23I wasn't showing them money, but absolute dominance.

01:04:26In this world, capital speaks, and the highest level of capital, it makes people kneel.

01:04:30Percy thought he was running a business.

01:04:32Me?

01:04:32I'm running an era.

01:04:33When I spread out these reports enough to buy half of New York, his pathetic little

01:04:36assets wouldn't even be enough to pay my taxes.

01:04:39One-

01:04:40$100 billion?

01:04:42Grayson, you did this in just one year?

01:04:44Please, Mr. Grayson, take your place as the head of the family!

01:04:47That's mine!

01:04:48That was supposed to be mine!

01:04:50Grayson, what right do you have, you lowly line cook?

01:04:54Percy, take a good look.

01:04:56In this world, the strong make the rules.

01:04:58The weak, just wait to die.

01:05:01I stand at the summit, looking down at him.

01:05:04He once wanted me to kneel.

01:05:05Now, he wasn't even worthy to lift his head and look at me.

01:05:16Thorn Percy, from this moment on, you no longer carry the Thorn name.

01:05:20You are out of this family.

01:05:22No, you can't tear it!

01:05:24I am a Thorn!

01:05:25I have Thorn blood running through my veins!

01:05:27Without the family, the creditors would tear Percy to pieces.

01:05:30I knew that, and I didn't help it.

01:05:32Percy, the moment you stole Mum and Dad's pension, you had no blood relation left.

01:05:35I watched that page get consumed by the flames, turning to ash.

01:05:38In Thorn family tradition, being expelled means social death.

01:05:41From now on, he is no one's son, no one's brother.

01:05:43As a nameless nobody in the filthiest sewers, he will pay back every blood bet he owed.

01:05:47I want you to live as a man with no name.

01:05:51Grayson!

01:05:53You bastard!

01:05:54Without my hundred thousand dollars, you'd still be a cockroach in the gutter!

01:05:59A pathetic, lowly line cook!

01:06:09From this day forward, the Thorn family has no Percy.

01:06:13I looked up at the skyscrapers in the distance.

01:06:22No money!

01:06:24Then pay with your life!

01:06:25The Thorn family has already thrown you away like garbage.

01:06:29Right now, you're worse than the rats this alley.

01:06:36Please, just give me one more day.

01:06:38Just one day!

01:06:39Grayson has money.

01:06:41He has hundreds of billions!

01:06:43He could pluck a hair off his body and it would be enough to pay you all back.

01:06:51In Manhattan, the highest form of rejection isn't insults.

01:06:54It's silence.

01:06:55Right now, I'm sitting within arm rage of him.

01:06:57But I can't even be bothered to lift a finger.

01:07:00The moment he stole our parents' last bit of survival money, he lost even the right to die inside my

01:07:05thoughts.

01:07:05Grayson!

01:07:07My good little brother!

01:07:08Save me!

01:07:09They want my organs!

01:07:10They're going to chop me up and feed me to the face!

01:07:12Give me a million!

01:07:13No, five hundred thousand!

01:07:14Just that much!

01:07:32Percy used to say that money was the only true faith in this world.

01:07:36Since he loves money so much, I'll let him feel what it's like when that money becomes a pile of

01:07:40stones crushing his spine.

01:07:50Percy, this is the money you owe us!

01:07:52The price of our sweat, our blood!

01:07:54Take these bills and crawl back to your hell!

01:08:04Money!

01:08:05My money!

01:08:06My money!

01:08:07Grayson, you finally gave me money!

01:08:10I win!

01:08:11Percy, take a good look.

01:08:13The thing you treat as your religion, to me, is just spare change for trash.

01:08:20I used to be a line cook worth only $2,000.

01:08:24Now I've made him understand.

01:08:26In front of absolute skill and absolute rules, all a greedy man will ever get is a pile of worthless

01:08:31paper.

01:08:43Listen up, everyone.

01:08:45From today on, there's only one standard on Manhattan's dining tables.

01:08:50The Sea Mist Ethical Chef Standard.

01:08:54Any chef who makes it onto Sea Mist's whitelist, I will personally vouch for their professional integrity.

01:08:59In return, Sea Mist guarantees their salary will double.

01:09:01But if anyone dares to put even one gram of dirty ingredients into their food, I promise you, they will

01:09:06never have the chance to pick up a pair of chopsticks again.

01:09:12Grayson, you're absolutely right.

01:09:14Now that you've laid down the rules, none of us would dare to think otherwise.

01:09:17We'll do everything according to Sea Mist rules.

01:09:29Joss, Grayson asked me to tell you something.

01:09:32Since you loved helping Percy handle all that rotten, dirty meat back in the day,

01:09:37you can take on the dirtiest, most disgusting jobs all by yourself for the rest of your life.

01:09:44Grayson!

01:09:45I really know I was wrong.

01:09:48I was just following orders.

01:09:51Please, let me go back to cutting vegetables.

01:09:54I don't even need money.

01:09:56Just let me back into a kitchen.

01:10:03Go back to cutting vegetables?

01:10:05Joss, you're way too naive.

01:10:06You've been blacklisted by the entire restaurant industry.

01:10:09No!

01:10:21New York is just the beginning.

01:10:27Grayson, look how soundly the baby is sleeping.

01:10:31He's going to inherit everything I've built.

01:10:41Try this.

01:10:47I've given Mia the most precious love in the world.

01:10:51Because she was there for me when the road was darkest.

01:10:54This single piece of Satimi is worth a fortune.

01:10:58But it still can't compare to the hug she gave me back then.

01:11:01That was mine.

01:11:03That should have been my spot.

01:11:05Leo.

01:11:07The flies outside are too noisy.

01:11:09Clean them up.

01:11:14On opposite sides of a fence.

01:11:17Worlds apart.

01:11:29Grayson, I knew it.

01:11:31I knew you would come back.

01:11:33Professor, if it weren't for that hard bread you gave me back then, I wouldn't have made it until Sea

01:11:38Mist opened.

01:11:38On behalf of the Sea Mist group, I am donating $10 billion.

01:11:42Not just for the school, but to honor Professor Smith's craftsmanship.

01:11:47Grayson, does the Research Institute need any logistics staff?

01:11:51We haven't been doing well these past few years.

01:11:53For old times sake, I remember you.

01:11:55You said back then that I was only fit to clean your toilets.

01:11:57That was a joke.

01:11:59Grayson, we'd take any job, even a janitor at the Research Institute.

01:12:03Tell HR every single position at the Research Institute, from security to cleaning staff to the guys mowing the lawn,

01:12:08I have to interview them personally.

01:12:09I watched the fear and greed in their eyes and I felt nothing.

01:12:12Class, it used to be their weapon for bullying me.

01:12:15Now, it's my shackles for judging them.

01:12:23Sir, I used to run a restaurant.

01:12:25I know a lot about trash sorting.

01:12:27Please, just give me a job so I can eat.

01:12:30Alert. Blacklisted individual detected.

01:12:32Percy. Permission level permanently banned.

01:12:38Get lost!

01:12:39Every single business under sea mist.

01:12:41Even our trash dump won't take scum like you!

01:12:49Grayson!

01:12:50You can't do this to me!

01:12:52I'm your own brother!

01:12:54I bought up all the trash processing rights in Manhattan.

01:12:56Not just for the monopoly.

01:12:58But to make sure certain scumbags have nowhere left to hide in this city.

01:13:02He once said I was a line cook who could be replaced by any homeless guy off the street.

01:13:05Now, he doesn't even qualify to be a sorter.

01:13:09The AI recognition system upgrade looks good.

01:13:12Give the tech department a bonus.

01:13:14The struggles of a clown like this aren't even worth a second of my anger anymore.

01:13:18His misery is just background noise on my way to the top.

01:13:21Yeah!рыxs

01:13:34In the old era of the food industry, the exploiters believed that as long as they controlled the capital,

01:13:38they could run over skill and destroy a chef's soul.

01:13:40But the rise of Sea Mist is here to tell everyone in this room,

01:13:43I am rewriting the rules.

01:13:45The exploiters will eventually be abandoned by the times,

01:13:47but the craftsmen who protect the soul, they will be crowned kings.

01:13:49I wasn't just giving a speech.

01:13:51I was declaring war on this cold-blooded world of capital.

01:13:54A year ago, they were Percy's guests of honor, laughing as I got thrown out on my ass.

01:13:59Today, with Sea Mist standards, I've put a shackle called conscience around every single one of their necks.

01:14:05Grayson, Sea Mist group's valuation can no longer be measured by money.

01:14:07What is your next goal?

01:14:08My goal is to make sure there is no more soil in this world for a cancer like Percy to

01:14:11grow.

01:14:11I saw it in the eyes of those tycoons who once seemed untouchable,

01:14:15a fear they've never felt before.

01:14:17The underdog's rise isn't a myth.

01:14:19It's the judgment I wrote with my own hands.

01:14:24Grayson!

01:14:25I'm cooperating. I'll tell you everything.

01:14:27Three months ago, that maniac Percy bribed one of our lab technicians.

01:14:30He took high-concentration harmful chemicals.

01:14:32Make it clear.

01:14:34He wants to destroy Sea Mist's air.

01:14:36He's planning to put harmful substances in that batch of special supply milk powder.

01:14:39I thought stripping him of his name and letting him rot in the gutter like a rat was my final

01:14:43act of mercy.

01:14:44But I underestimated how vicious a mad dog can be.

01:14:47He dared to reach his filthy hands towards my child.

01:14:50Leo, go take care of something.

01:14:53Please give your orders, Mr. Grayson.

01:14:54Mobilize the global legal team.

01:14:56Yes, sir.

01:14:57I want Percy to spend the rest of his life in the coldest, darkest prison cell they can find.

01:15:01Tell the warden, I don't want him dead.

01:15:03I want him to accidentally live to be 100 every single day, surrounded by sickness and the torture of those

01:15:07creditors.

01:15:07Watching the glory of my Sea Mist restaurant shine in the sunlight.

01:15:11Blinding him from behind those bars.

01:15:12Since he doesn't want to be human, I'll send him to real hell.

01:15:15I want him to live in endless regret, a dying flame in the depths of hell.

01:15:22Defendant Percy, on multiple counts, including food safety violations, attempted harm, malicious tempering, and massive fraud,

01:15:29you are hereby sentenced to life in prison without parole.

01:15:32No! I won't accept this!

01:15:34Grayson, you devil! You manipulated everything!

01:15:37A year ago, I begged him in the rain to leave Mom and Dad some money for their medical bees.

01:15:41He tore my dignity to shreds in public.

01:15:43And now he wants to talk about blood?

01:15:45The moment he reached for Mom and Dad's pension,

01:15:47the moment he reached for my baby's milk powder,

01:15:49he cut that vein with his own hands.

01:15:55Grayson, all that mess in Manhattan, it's finally over.

01:16:00We were blind back then.

01:16:02It was our fault.

01:16:05Mom, it's all in the past.

01:16:06I watched the relieved smiles on my parents' faces.

01:16:10Finally, they were free from that nightmare.

01:16:13Percy is counting lice in a cold prison cell.

01:16:17And my family?

01:16:19We're standing in the sunlight.

01:16:23He rewrote how this industry exploits people.

01:16:26He protected the soul of ingredients.

01:16:28Now let us welcome the world's top culinary leader, Grayson!

01:16:34Today, this trophy doesn't belong to me alone.

01:16:37It belongs to everyone.

01:16:38I'm not standing here to enjoy some empty fame.

01:16:40I'm here to issue the new C-Mist Decree.

01:16:42These people, they were once exploited by Percy at Iron Locker.

01:16:45I announced that C-Mist Group will set up a $1 billion support fund.

01:16:48Every front-line employee who suffered exploitation,

01:16:51as long as you pass the assessment,

01:16:52C-Mist will grant you the right to open a franchise free mail.

01:16:56This is what a real slap in the face looks like.

01:16:59I'm going to make Percy watch on TV.

01:17:01All those people he called homeless bums are becoming millionaires under my wing.

01:17:05And him?

01:17:06He can't even afford a roll of toilet paper.

01:17:11Grayson, two-thirds of the Michelin restaurants around the world

01:17:13have already applied to join the C-Mist Certification Standard.

01:17:19Then let them wait in line.

01:17:21We make the rules.

01:17:24One year ago, I was at the other end of this city

01:17:26holding only $10,000 the money I'd bled for.

01:17:29Now, this building beneath my feet,

01:17:31plus thousands of branches around the world,

01:17:33my net worth has exceeded $100 billion.

01:17:35And this Manhattan reeking of money,

01:17:36I used the most humble skills to level every injustice.

01:17:40What are you thinking about?

01:17:45I'm thinking...

01:17:45That poor kid who rented that $500 dump had pretty good taste.

01:17:52That was the best investment in the world.

01:17:54The name Percy has been burned to ash from the family tree

01:17:56and erased from this city's history.

01:17:58From now on, no more iron anchor in Manhattan.

01:18:00Only C-Mist.

01:18:01Survival of the fittest was the old rule.

01:18:03My rule?

01:18:04Let the ones with soul rise to the top.

01:18:06I'm Gracie.

01:18:07The C-Mist era never ends.

01:18:12This rundown shop was hidden away.

01:18:14Filthy.

01:18:15Pitch.

01:18:16Dark.

01:18:17Thick layers of grease covered everything.

01:18:19I didn't complain.

01:18:20Though, inside, I was actually pumped.

01:18:25Percy quickly realized

01:18:26someone had rented that dump across the street again.

01:18:29He got out of his fancy car,

01:18:31saw it was me,

01:18:32and just lost it,

01:18:33laughing so hard he could barely stand.

01:18:39Grayson, you absolute idiot.

01:18:41I gave you $100,000,

01:18:43and you blow it on this rat hole?

01:18:45Don't you have any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?

01:18:48I ignored him.

01:18:49Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own,

01:18:52even pulled out his phone,

01:18:54and went live,

01:18:55making exaggerated faces at the camera.

01:18:57Look at this, folks.

01:18:58Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.

01:19:01This place is so disgusting,

01:19:03I swear even a rat wouldn't come near it.

01:19:06Then he put his arm around my shoulder

01:19:07and struck a friendly pose for the camera.

01:19:10Grayson,

01:19:10I'm your older brother.

01:19:12I have to take care of you.

01:19:14You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.

01:19:17I did fill your old spot for half the pay,

01:19:19but you know how replaceable that kind of job is.

01:19:22After humiliating me,

01:19:24Percy left the restaurant,

01:19:25satisfied.

01:19:26He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.

01:19:28He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.

01:19:32But one thing he would never understand,

01:19:34a restaurant's true essence is the food.

01:19:36And me,

01:19:37I stayed up late every night,

01:19:39cleaning the restaurant.

01:19:42It was already three in the morning when I got home.

01:19:45The light was still on.

01:19:46I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door,

01:19:49covered in dirt.

01:19:49My face exhausted.

01:19:51I panicked.

01:19:52I didn't want my family to worry,

01:19:54but I knew I had to face it eventually.
