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