Now I Set The Table

Transcript

00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago. Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million

00:00:06in one year.

00:00:07But me? He gave me only 100 grand. A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a month. I gave you

00:00:13100 grand and only because you're my brother.

00:00:19I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from

00:00:25his.

00:00:25I started my own place. The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped. He 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. $2,000 a month.

00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared 6 mil. Here's your share.

00:00:59I took it and counted. Only 100,000. 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.

00:01:09You're just a line cook. Any bum off the street could do your job. If you weren't my brother, you

00:01:13wouldn't see a dime of this.

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

00:01:21Okay. I want to tell you about my restaurant. Just give me three minutes, and I'll tell you about my

00:01:26restaurant.

00:01:29Thank you for providing such high-quality ingredients. You really helped us solve a big problem.

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

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

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

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

00:01:55Five people. Always the same five.

00:01:57Making a fool of himself over and over again.

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

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

00:02:09I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.

00:02:11Thanks.

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

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

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

00:02:21Your 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.

00:02:32See you in three days.

00:02:34Good boy.

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

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

00:02:45And me.

00:02:46I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street.

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

00:02:53Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.

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

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

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

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

00:03:07Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor.

00:03:09You absolutely sure?

00:03:10I'm sure.

00:03:11I walked out after signing the papers.

00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.

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

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

00:03:20That a ward in three days.

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

00:03:27This rundown shop was hidden away.

00:03:29Filthy.

00:03:30Pitch.

00:03:31Dark.

00:03:31Thick layers of grease covered everything.

00:03:34I didn't complain.

00:03:35Though, inside, I was actually pumped.

00:03:39Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump across the street again.

00:03:44He got out of his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it, laughing so hard he could

00:03:49barely stand.

00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot.

00:03:55I gave you $100,000, and you blow it on this rat hole?

00:04:00Don't you have any idea how good a life a hundred grand could have bought you?

00:04:03I ignored him.

00:04:04Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.

00:04:07Even pulled out his phone and went live, making exaggerated faces at the camera.

00:04:12Look at this, folks.

00:04:13Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.

00:04:16This place is so disgusting.

00:04:18I swear even a rat wouldn't come near it.

00:04:20Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.

00:04:25Grayson, I'm your older brother.

00:04:27I have to take care of you.

00:04:29You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.

00:04:32I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that kind of job

00:04:36is.

00:04:37After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.

00:04:41He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.

00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.

00:04:47But 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.

00:05:00The light was still on.

00:05:01I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt.

00:05:04My face exhausted.

00:05:06I panicked.

00:05:07I didn't want my family to worry, but I knew I had to face it eventually.

00:05:14My wife Mia looked at me with concern.

00:05:16Honey, what happened?

00:05:18Why are you so late?

00:05:19Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.

00:05:21I didn't have time to wash up.

00:05:25Mia looked uneasy.

00:05:27She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.

00:05:30I saw the news.

00:05:32The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.

00:05:35The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.

00:05:39Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.

00:05:42Did he give you any of it?

00:05:44Sure.

00:05:45He gave me a hundred grand.

00:05:47Only a hundred grand?

00:05:48The news said the place cleared six million.

00:05:51That's not fair.

00:05:53You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.

00:05:56At least half of the credit is yours.

00:05:59How could he do this to you?

00:06:01Mia, calm down.

00:06:03Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds.

00:06:06Why are you still working for him?

00:06:10I'm opening my own restaurant.

00:06:14I support whatever decision you make.

00:06:21Here's twenty grand.

00:06:22Go all in, Grayson.

00:06:24The baby and I will be just fine.

00:06:28I won't let you down.

00:06:29I swear.

00:06:31The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.

00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.

00:06:36What if I let Mia down?

00:06:38The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.

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

00:06:46I started doubting whether going solo was the right move,

00:06:49or just a stupid decision made out of anger.

00:06:52I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years,

00:06:54and sat down at the desk.

00:06:56It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.

00:06:59I've recorded including the mayor's.

00:07:01I once sat in a high-end restaurant,

00:07:03and carefully watched how he ate,

00:07:05what he left on his plate.

00:07:07This notebook gives me the confidence

00:07:08that comes from experience.

00:07:11Then suddenly, my phone rang.

00:07:14What did you say?

00:07:16Sea Mist Restaurant?

00:07:17Passed the qualification inspection?

00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.

00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.

00:07:28I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.

00:07:30He'd always seen my potential.

00:07:31And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,

00:07:33he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.

00:07:36You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.

00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.

00:07:41All he knows is flashy tricks.

00:07:45I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.

00:07:49If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,

00:07:51he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest supplier.

00:07:54Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance.

00:07:57Too bad.

00:07:58All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream

00:08:02that never gets more than five people.

00:08:04He didn't recognize him at all.

00:08:05Don't say I never give you a chance.

00:08:08The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.

00:08:12My dear little brother,

00:08:13I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.

00:08:17And make sure you bring your wife Mia.

00:08:20I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.

00:08:26Percy's laugh was full of contempt.

00:08:28He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.

00:08:30Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.

00:08:32And at an event like this,

00:08:34his little brother,

00:08:35the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,

00:08:38would be the perfect person to compare himself to.

00:08:41I'll be there on time.

00:08:44Here's ten bucks.

00:08:46Go park my car for me.

00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.

00:08:55Percy was so sure of it,

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

00:09:00But he overlooked me.

00:09:01A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.

00:09:04Insignificant.

00:09:05Obedient.

00:09:06Beneath notice.

00:09:08When I got home,

00:09:09I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.

00:09:13I could see the worry in her eyes.

00:09:15No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event.

00:09:17Tomorrow.

00:09:19Can't you see?

00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work,

00:09:22and now he wants to humiliate you in public.

00:09:25Mia, I've already decided to go.

00:09:28If he tries to embarrass me,

00:09:30I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.

00:09:36A place that was always meant to be mine.

00:09:38Fine.

00:09:41I'll go with you.

00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.

00:09:47He was waiting by the door for something.

00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up,

00:09:52his eyes locked onto us like a radar.

00:09:54Look, there's my little brother.

00:09:59Let me introduce you all.

00:10:01This is my brother Grayson.

00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor

00:10:05and thinks he's going to compete with me.

00:10:08Percy said it like a joke.

00:10:09All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.

00:10:12Even Mia's smile froze on her face.

00:10:18You know what Percy nets a year?

00:10:20Six million dollars.

00:10:22You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.

00:10:25You really should just stick with your brother.

00:10:27That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.

00:10:31Don't mind them, Grayson.

00:10:33What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.

00:10:38That's enough.

00:10:39You're all way out of line.

00:10:41The truth is, he's better than every one of you.

00:10:46Grayson, control your wife.

00:10:47This isn't the place for a scene.

00:10:49Easy, Mia.

00:10:50I'm fine.

00:10:59Here's my card.

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

00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief.

00:11:05He never expected that after being humiliated like that.

00:11:08Grayson, what are you doing here?

00:11:08I'd still be able to hand out my business card.

00:11:11Everyone looked embarrassed.

00:11:13No one took it.

00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?

00:11:19Don't be ridiculous.

00:11:20I smiled and shook my head.

00:11:22I swear, one day they'll be begging to work with me.

00:11:32These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.

00:11:35Everyone, help yourselves.

00:11:39I could see right through it.

00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before, but the ingredients had changed.

00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money.

00:11:48But he doesn't understand his customers.

00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.

00:11:53Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences, he can never make the perfect dish.

00:11:59At the table, the guests could already tell something was off with the food.

00:12:03But because they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to ignore it.

00:12:07The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry.

00:12:11Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year.

00:12:15How much money he'd made.

00:12:17Mia was so upset, she couldn't even eat.

00:12:19The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.

00:12:21But that wasn't enough for Percy.

00:12:23Percy, he brought me up again.

00:12:26Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still come back.

00:12:31I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs.

00:12:36But you are my little brother after all.

00:12:39Percy, you're such a good man.

00:12:41Your brother has a death wish opening a restaurant right across from you,

00:12:44and you're still looking out for him.

00:12:47Of course.

00:12:49What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?

00:12:52Without Percy, he's nothing.

00:12:57I was furious.

00:12:58All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.

00:13:01No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.

00:13:04Percy was soaking up the praise,

00:13:06laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.

00:13:08And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.

00:13:12The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor.

00:13:14It can only be my sea mist restaurant.

00:13:16I raised my glass, a calm smile on my face.

00:13:19You're alright.

00:13:20Everything I do I learned from Percy, my respected big brother.

00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute.

00:13:28Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.

00:13:32Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.

00:13:36Even though you had the nerve to leave me,

00:13:38I still invited you to this important event.

00:13:40And the only reason is because you're my brother.

00:13:43Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.

00:13:51I looked at the mayor.

00:13:52I knew my chance had come.

00:13:57A year ago,

00:13:58I went through hell to land the supplier

00:14:00with the highest food safety rating.

00:14:03Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.

00:14:08And now that top-tier supplier belongs to me.

00:14:11The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?

00:14:14Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.

00:14:22This tuna smells really weird.

00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control,

00:14:27but Percy never listened to a word I said.

00:14:32Grayson, step aside.

00:14:35The new guy here can actually handle a knife.

00:14:42Grayson, 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

00:14:54with the new hire

00:14:55to prove I was good for nothing.

00:14:58But he had no idea how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.

00:15:02Without real knife skills,

00:15:04you can't handle it properly.

00:15:06Especially a piece of cheap, low-quality tuna like this.

00:15:12Percy, you're going to regret everything you've done today.

00:15:15I swear it.

00:15:16I'm just trying to make my little brother better.

00:15:18Otherwise, how is he going to support you

00:15:20and the baby in your belly?

00:15:21That failing restaurant across the street?

00:15:27I'll learn from him.

00:15:29After today, one of us will be famous,

00:15:31and the other will be a nobody.

00:15:37Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.

00:15:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

00:15:41That is right.

00:15:42After today, one of us is going to take over the world,

00:15:46and the other is going to fade into obscurity.

00:15:49I watched very carefully.

00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning,

00:15:52and he even took the time to explain things to me.

00:15:54I smiled.

00:15:55With such lousy technique,

00:15:57that Blue Fit Tuna was going to end up

00:15:59as nothing but a pile of ruined meat in his hands.

00:16:02Look at this!

00:16:03And the mayor.

00:16:04He hates nothing more than being handed low-quality.

00:16:06You call this a steak?

00:16:07Butchered tuna,

00:16:08like it is no big deal.

00:16:13Percy was in the dining room,

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

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

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

00:16:24Meanwhile, the highest quality gluten tuna

00:16:27was being delivered to Sea Mist Restaurant,

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

00:16:34according to the methods written in my notebook.

00:16:36My dear fans, it's showtime! The mayor is here!

00:16:40Today I'll show the world true top-tier cooking.

00:16:42Some bottom-fleeling trash running a cheap diner

00:16:45couldn'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. Only good for the dirty work in the back.

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

00:17:06If 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.

00:17:16Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.

00:17:21Mr. Mayor, here's my card.

00:17:23I'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. I like that.

00:17:52The mayor sure has a sense of humor.

00:17:55He's just teaching the young generation to stay humble.

00:17:59Grayson, the only reason the mayor hasn't kicked you out

00:18:02is out of respect for me.

00:18:04Stop any of your pathetic delusions.

00:18:14Please take a seat.

00:18:18Please take a seat.

00:18:21Please 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 otori sushi really was one of a kind.

00:18:48But this time, without top-quality ingredients and skilled knife work,

00:18:53the only thing coming out of that kitchen is a one-of-a-kind piece of garbage.

00:19:19Oh my god, what the hell is that garbage?

00:19:23At that same moment, the otoro sushi I prepared was being carefully packed up

00:19:28and was already on its way.

00:19:30We are about to serve the very first dish from Seamist Restaurant.

00:19:36Everyone, stay sharp.

00:19:39Yes!

00:19:40Yes!

00:19:41Yes!

00:19:52Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.

00:19:55Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.

00:19:59His smile vanished.

00:20:00Guests gagged.

00:20:01The 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?

00:20:08I held Mia close and watched.

00:20:10Cold.

00:20:10Percy's face went pale.

00:20:12Cold sweat dripped from his temples down into his collar.

00:20:15But he wasn't done.

00:20:15He fell back on his pathetic sales pitch, desperate to cover up the rot.

00:20:19No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain.

00:20:21This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.

00:20:25Advanced aging.

00:20:26No, he just served the mayor cheap.

00:20:29Old meat to cut costs.

00:20:30The live stream was going wild.

00:20:33The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.

00:20:36Fine.

00:20:36You're so confident in this process?

00:20:38Then don't waste it.

00:20:39Bring it to him.

00:20:41Eat it, Percy.

00:20:41Every last piece.

00:20:42Right now.

00:20:43No!

00:20:44You're resisting so hard.

00:20:46Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?

00:20:48No!

00:20:49Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.

00:20:51The security guard stepped forward.

00:20:53The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.

00:20:57Under the gaze of the citywide live stream, he was forced to swallow that rotten meat like

00:21:02a pathetic stray dog.

00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away.

00:21:07Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.

00:21:09The mayor's fury was just the beginning.

00:21:11The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.

00:21:20This is the pride of Surla Street?

00:21:22The face of our state's restaurant industry?

00:21:24Percy, you didn't just insult me.

00:21:26You insult the entire food safety laws of this city.

00:21:29Mr. Mayor, I swear on my life, the sushi is fine.

00:21:32I just drank too much last night.

00:21:33It's my stomach.

00:21:34It's upset.

00:21:35Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 livestream 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.

00:21:46The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go help him.

00:21:51Dammit!

00:21:52You used rotten meat!

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

00:21:55Percy, you idiot!

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

00:21:57No, no, no!

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

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

00:22:03in the entire city.

00:22:04Enough!

00:22:05I want a full investigation of Iron Anchor right now!

00:22:08Percy wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move.

00:22:10Soon enough, the iron door to Iron Anchor's back storage was violently pushed open.

00:22:15A stench of formaldehyde mixed with rotting blood hit everyone in the face.

00:22:19Cardboard boxes piled up like metals, their outer layers covered in mold.

00:22:23The smell is absolutely disgusting!

00:22:25Just thinking about the food I ate makes me want to strangle Percy with my bare hand!

00:22:29Percy was dragged to the storage door like a filthy rag.

00:22:31The mayor pointed angrily at the inside of the back room.

00:22:34This is the best ingredient warehouse in all of New York?

00:22:36Percy, you better explain this now!

00:22:40Percy scrambled, saying it was all the supplier's fault that he was a victim too.

00:22:44Tears streamed down his face as he got all emotional.

00:22:46At first, some people actually believed him.

00:22:48After all, Iron Anchor's reputation had been perfect.

00:22:51That was until a contract signed with the shady supplier was pulled out of a drawer.

00:22:54A hundred dollars a play and you spent three cents on the meat?

00:22:57Damn it.

00:22:58That's what it was.

00:22:59The money went to the cars.

00:23:00The fancy front.

00:23:01But the food, itself.

00:23:02He had zero respect for it.

00:23:03Mr. 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.

00:23:10You didn't know?

00:23:11You're playing games with people's lives!

00:23:14Percy looked around in despair.

00:23:16Nothing but contempt.

00:23:17And the mayor's fury was even more terrifying than he'd imagined.

00:23:20If this is the best Surla Street has to offer, then I will shut down every single restaurant

00:23:23on this entire street.

00:23:25The whole place erupted.

00:23:26Every 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, but don't drag the rest of us down with you!

00:23:35You disgusting little roach!

00:23:36Go to hell!

00:23:37That is human nature.

00:23:38When Percy was on top, they were his loyal supporters.

00:23:40The moment he fell, everyone wanted to kick him.

00:23:42While he was down, Mia looked worried.

00:23:44She was afraid my restaurant would get caught up in this too.

00:23:46I patted her hand.

00:23:47I'd just gotten my license.

00:23:48I was fully confident I could turn the tide on Surla Street.

00:23:51And if I timed it right, my chef should be here in a second.

00:23:58Percy panicked.

00:23:59Iron Anchor was facing closure.

00:24:00And me, his worthless little brother, bringing in a chef with the very same cut of fish.

00:24:05Grayson, what the hell do you think you're doing?

00:24:07Mr. Mayor, before you give up on this street, please give real Surla Street cuisine one chance.

00:24:12Percy pulled himself up off the floor and stormed over to me, furious.

00:24:16That garbage from your $500 dump has no place in front of the mayor!

00:24:21I'm warning you.

00:24:22Throw that trash away!

00:24:23Mia was never one to just take it lying down.

00:24:25The second she heard that, she hauled off and slapped Percy right across the face.

00:24:28Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face, you arrogant jerk!

00:24:33Three minutes ago, you were serving the mayor garbage.

00:24:35Whatever my husband has in that box is worth more than you and your whole restaurant ever were!

00:24:40You dare put your hands on me?

00:24:41You shameless bitch!

00:24:42The mayor beat me to it.

00:24:44He had his security restrained Percy, then looked at the takeout box in my hand.

00:24:49I think I'd like to try something made by a man with some composure.

00:24:53C-Mist Restaurant.

00:24:54Please enjoy.

00:25:09Wait!

00:25:10C-Mist shouldn't even be in the running!

00:25:12Everyone knows that place is a dump!

00:25:13Full of grease and rats!

00:25:15It doesn't even meet basic health and safety standards!

00:25:17Percy looked at me with that smug expression, like he'd finally cornered the clown.

00:25:22Too bad.

00:25:22This time, the joke was on him.

00:25:25Save the pity, Grayson.

00:25:26I know you tried really hard to steal first place from me.

00:25:29Too bad.

00:25:30Trying isn't enough.

00:25:31You'll never surpass me, little brother.

00:25:34Mr. Mayor, it would be my honor to lead the way and show everyone this garbage-dim Grayson calls a

00:25:41restaurant.

00:25:43That place has been closed for ages.

00:25:45I heard the last owner was so bitter.

00:25:46He poured cooking oil all over the floors on his way out.

00:25:49You can't even walk in there.

00:25:50That's right.

00:25:51And he left all kinds of expired food in there, too.

00:25:53It's probably a full-blown rat kingdom by now.

00:25:55What right does a dump like that have to call itself a restaurant?

00:25:58What do we do?

00:26:00Mr. Mayor, and everyone here, as the owner of C-Mist Restaurant, I invite you all to come see it

00:26:06for yourselves.

00:26:07You idiot.

00:26:09Get ready to watch your precious restaurant get shut down.

00:26:12My dear fans, I'm about to show you the most chaotic, filthiest garbage dump on Surla Street.

00:26:19You cannot imagine how absolutely disgusting that place is.

00:26:26Percy, lying has consequences.

00:26:29It's totally fake.

00:26:30I guarantee you behind this door, it's nothing but trash and stink.

00:26:34Grayson.

00:26:34Just wait and see.

00:26:35Percy's smug smile kept growing, but all of that was about to come to a screeching halt the second I

00:26:40opened that door.

00:26:46This is impossible.

00:26:48Oh my God!

00:26:49In just a few days, that dump has completely changed.

00:26:53It's so clean and tidy.

00:26:55Way more pleasant to look at than Iron Anchor's tacky, flashy decorations.

00:27:03Grayson, your taste is just as impressive as your food.

00:27:13Man, this place is cleaner than an operating room.

00:27:17I worked around the clock, kneeling on that filthy floor, scrubbing every single crack with a brush.

00:27:22Percy spent his money on those gaudy chandeliers that blind you.

00:27:25I spent mine on every little detail you can touch.

00:27:27This is all just for show!

00:27:29You can fake the decor, but you can't fake the ingredients!

00:27:34Grayson, you're broke!

00:27:35Look, your monthly rent is 500 bucks.

00:27:38How can you afford pop-grade blue-fit tuna?

00:27:41I bet that piece he just fed you was the only decent one he's got!

00:27:44His freezer must be packed with cheap frozen garbage!

00:27:47It's trash!

00:27:48We'll always be trash!

00:27:51You want to see?

00:27:52I'll show you.

00:27:58So many!

00:27:59Tuna of this quality, only three restaurants in all of New York can get their hands on these!

00:28:07Percy, take a good look.

00:28:09This is what you call garbage.

00:28:10No!

00:28:11You must have injected poison into these rotten fish!

00:28:13Sprayed them with chemicals!

00:28:15Who the hell is insulting my fish?

00:28:21You are...

00:28:22I worked with Iron Anchor for a whole year.

00:28:24Not once did you bother to remember my name.

00:28:26Percy, you're an absolute idiot.

00:28:30You're Iron Anchor's biggest supplier from this past year.

00:28:33You traitor!

00:28:34You're the traitor!

00:28:36And premium ingredients should go to people who actually appreciate them!

00:28:40Mr. Mayor, I'm the largest seafood distributor in California.

00:28:44I hereby certify that all ingredients used by Sea Mist Restaurant are exclusively supplied

00:28:49through my special channel with the highest A-level safety rating.

00:28:53Mr. Grayson is the most knowledgeable person about ingredients I've ever met.

00:28:57That's why I ended all my contracts with Iron Anchor for him.

00:29:01Are you insane?

00:29:02I give you millions of dollars a year!

00:29:04What about him?

00:29:05All he got was the lousy hundred grand I threw at him!

00:29:08After lashing out at the supplier, Percy turned his rage back on me.

00:29:12Grayson!

00:29:13You ungrateful snake!

00:29:15You took the hundred grand I gave you and used it to steal my supplier and become my enemy?

00:29:20Don't you have any family loyalty at all?

00:29:22Percy.

00:29:25Percy, out of that hundred grand, 90,000 was purchasing money I fronted for you.

00:29:33The remaining 10,000 was what you paid me for three years of working my ass off day and night.

00:29:40You thought you could buy my dignity.

00:29:42I'm taking it back with my own hands.

00:29:44We're even.

00:29:45And don't forget, this supplier was mine from the very beginning.

00:29:49Percy's eyes went unfocused.

00:29:51It looked like he was finally remembering how hard I worked a year ago, visiting supplier after supplier, screening through

00:29:57thousands of them to find this one.

00:29:59Percy wanted to keep arguing, but fate wasn't going to give him any more chances.

00:30:04Mr. Mayor, it's not just the ingredients.

00:30:06The entire interior of Iron Anchor is built with the cheapest, most flammable formalhyde-laden boards just painted over with

00:30:11a layer of gold.

00:30:11Iron Anchor is basically a poison gas chamber that would explode the second it touches fire.

00:30:18That's disgusting.

00:30:20All for show.

00:30:21Percy, get out of the restaurant industry.

00:30:25Mr. Mayor, I was wrong.

00:30:27I just wanted the restaurant to look better.

00:30:29You risked people's lives just to look good?

00:30:33Percy's tears rolled down his fake, lying face.

00:30:36He used to throw money in front of me and call me a country bumpin' who'd never seen the world.

00:30:40And now, that live-streaming empire he so carefully built was collapsing inch by inch in front of a global

00:30:47audience.

00:30:48I hereby declare Sea Mist Restaurant the industry benchmark restaurant for this year.

00:30:54Effective immediately, Iron Anchor's business license is permanently revoked.

00:31:00All assets are to be seized.

00:31:02Percy is under official investigation for food safety crimes and commercial fraud.

00:31:09Now, throw this cockroach out of here!

00:31:19Grayson!

00:31:20Save me!

00:31:21You're my own little brother!

00:31:23Your restaurant is right across the street!

00:31:24You can fix this!

00:31:25You have to!

00:31:26I gave him a year.

00:31:28A whole year.

00:31:29But all he ever learned was how to put on a show for his live screen.

00:31:32Grayson!

00:31:35Grayson, I'm begging you!

00:31:36You're tight with the mayor!

00:31:37Please put in a good word for me!

00:31:38You can't let them close my place!

00:31:40That's everything I've got!

00:31:41Everything you've got, Percy?

00:31:43You call rotten meat and fake gold paint everything you've got?

00:31:46Just don't shut me down!

00:31:47I'll do anything you want!

00:31:48I'll give you all the shares!

00:31:50You come back and be the boss!

00:31:51I'll work for you!

00:31:52I'll be your line cook!

00:31:54Percy, do you remember how you humiliated Grayson?

00:31:56You said he was only worth 2,000 bucks.

00:31:58You said a homeless guy off the street could replace him.

00:32:01A year ago, I begged him in the pouring rain, just like this, to pay the supplier what he owed.

00:32:07He rolled down his car window, blew smoke in my face, and told me I didn't understand business.

00:32:13Percy, your biggest mistake wasn't greed.

00:32:15It was that you never learned to respect food.

00:32:18Someone who can make the finest fish smell like death has no place in a kitchen.

00:32:23You're really gonna just let me die?

00:32:24For old times' sake, since you want to be a line cook so bad, C-Miss just happens to be

00:32:30looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.

00:32:312,000 a month.

00:32:32And the only reason I'm even offering it to you is out of respect for you being my big brother.

00:32:40Mr. Grayson, I'm officially transferring my $5 million annual banquet booking to C-Miss Restaurant.

00:32:45Name your price!

00:32:46Just make sure that Oto Sushi shows up at my event.

00:32:48Grayson, this is a long-term letter of intent from the Manhattan Restaurant Association.

00:32:51We're willing to pay a 50% premium as long as C-Miss agrees to be our partner.

00:32:56Three hours ago, these same people watched Percy humiliate me in front of everyone.

00:32:59They laughed at me, a lowly line cook who didn't know his place.

00:33:01Now, they're willing to pay double just to beg me for a partnership.

00:33:04C-Miss will only sign with one partner in the next year.

00:33:07That spot, you'll have to fight for it yourselves.

00:33:11I have the strongest capital! That spot belongs to me!

00:33:14What can you offer besides money?

00:33:15I can provide the biggest advertising and sales channels!

00:33:18Get lost! This opportunity is mine!

00:33:24With the mayor's endorsement and the title of industry benchmark restaurant,

00:33:28C-Miss was splattered all over countless posters.

00:33:32Customers poured into C-Miss non-stop.

00:33:35Mia and I opened three more locations together.

00:33:38I never held back.

00:33:39I shared everything I knew.

00:33:41C-Miss will always stand for healthy, delicious food.

00:33:51All those prepayments that should have gone into Iron Anchor's account,

00:33:54they were now flooding into mine instead.

00:33:58Oh my God, I can't believe my eyes.

00:34:00Grayson, in less than half an hour, the prepayments have already topped three million!

00:34:05We made it!

00:34:06Grayson, you deserve this.

00:34:08The restaurant industry doesn't need some performer who only knows how to lie.

00:34:12It needs craftsmen like you.

00:34:14People with soul when it comes to food.

00:34:17This is the contract for government catering for the next year.

00:34:26Pleasure doing business with you.

00:34:27At that moment, Percy, his face caked with mud, pressed himself against the window like a ghost,

00:34:34watching me sign contract after contract, signing away millions of dollars.

00:34:39Furious, he tried to get in, but the security guard at the door shoved him back,

00:34:43sending him tumbling down the steps.

00:34:45Get out of my way!

00:34:47That bastard Grayson took everything from me!

00:34:49This was supposed to be mine!

00:34:51Move along!

00:34:52This is no place for a homeless guy!

00:34:54He was out there watching.

00:34:56I was in here sitting.

00:34:58That single pane of glass was the line between heaven and hell.

00:35:02He used to say that without him, I'd be begging for food in Chinatown.

00:35:07Now, he can't even get past the door of my restaurant.

00:35:11Grayson!

00:35:12You traitor!

00:35:17Percy was curled up next to a stinking dumpster.

00:35:20His thousand dollar tuxedo was caked with grime.

00:35:23He was too afraid to go home, because all the partners he'd arrogantly signed with before were now turning on

00:35:30him after Iron Anchor got shut down.

00:35:32What awaited him was massive penalty fees and the fury of every single one of those partners.

00:35:43Hello?

00:35:44Boss, just give me a little more time.

00:35:46Time?

00:35:47Percy, your old frozen meat got my license revoked.

00:35:51According to the contract, you owe me triple the penalty.

00:35:53That's two million dollars.

00:35:55If I don't see that money by tomorrow morning, you can go feed the fish in the Hudson River.

00:36:04Percy, this is James from Seafood Logistics.

00:36:07That industry benchmark prize you promised was total bullshit.

00:36:10I want my shipping fees and the 500,000 penalty.

00:36:12Transfer it now.

00:36:13Otherwise, I'm sending your address to every creditor in Manhattan.

00:36:17Percy pinned all his remaining hope on live streaming.

00:36:20He begged his viewers to send him money to save Iron Anchor.

00:36:23He made a complete fool of himself, like a stray dog losing every shred of dignity.

00:36:28He did pathetic stunts.

00:36:29He even fought homeless people for food.

00:36:31You felled us garbage for so long.

00:36:33What right does an animal like you have to ask for our forgiveness?

00:36:36Report him.

00:36:37Make him disappear for good.

00:36:39No, no, no.

00:36:40If I hadn't skimped on that 90,000, if I hadn't pushed him away,

00:36:44that six million would have been mine.

00:36:45The mayor's praise would have been mine too.

00:36:47He finally understood.

00:36:49Losing me wasn't just losing a line cook.

00:36:51It was losing his only brain and his last chance to be a decent human being.

00:36:55The live stream ban was the final straw that broke Percy.

00:36:59He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant, glowing with lights, and finally broke down sobbing.

00:37:05I was wrong.

00:37:08Grayson, I was really wrong.

00:37:14Time to pay up.

00:37:19Hear my love.

00:37:22No, no.

00:37:24Grayson, help me.

00:37:25Help me.

00:37:28I took Mia out for a nice meal.

00:37:31Because we were so poor last year,

00:37:33I couldn't even feed my pregnant wife decent food more than a few times.

00:37:38Mia, thank you.

00:37:39For everything.

00:37:41These past three years.

00:37:43Grayson, I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:37:46A month ago, we were stressing over $500 in rent.

00:37:49Dreams end, but these numbers don't lie.

00:37:52Three days ago, I sat here watching Percy throw money around like it was nothing.

00:37:56Now, Sea Mist's weekly revenue alone equals his entire net profit from last year.

00:38:01Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

00:38:03Grayson, the prepayments and net profit, it's over six million?

00:38:07That's just the first week.

00:38:08With the mayor's endorsement, every big name in New York, politicians and socialettes alike is lining up.

00:38:14We're already booked through Christmas next year.

00:38:16We're rich.

00:38:17We can give our child the best education.

00:38:20We never have to live under Percy's thumb again.

00:38:22I looked at Mia's excited face.

00:38:24It warmed my heart.

00:38:26To the future.

00:38:28Cheers.

00:38:30And Percy?

00:38:31At that very moment, he was huddled next to a dumpster, gnawling on someone else's disfarted bread.

00:38:40I moved Mia out of that tiny rental apartment and bought the best estate in the city.

00:38:44Mr. Grayson, this is the most private estate in the entire city.

00:38:47It comes with its own helipad and a top of the security system.

00:38:50Do you like it?

00:38:51The sunlight here is beautiful.

00:38:53Perfect for our kid to run around on the grass someday.

00:38:55I never imagined I'd live in a place like this someday.

00:38:58Grayson, this is too expensive.

00:39:00Mia, you deserve the best.

00:39:01Just sign it.

00:39:02This will be our family's safe haven.

00:39:04Now, I bought the estate that Percy never even dared to dream of stepping foot in.

00:39:09And him?

00:39:10He's hiding in some dark corner, running from the creditors.

00:39:14The soft opening of Sea Mist Branch was a huge success.

00:39:16We can officially launch the expansion plan now.

00:39:19Yes, Mr. Grayson.

00:39:20The top 10 commercial districts are all fighting for us to set up there.

00:39:23The contracts are ready.

00:39:24Tell them this.

00:39:25Sea Mist has only one standard.

00:39:27The finest ingredients?

00:39:28Absolute transparency.

00:39:30Percy failed because he looked at his customers and saw cash cows.

00:39:33I succeeded because I treat food like a religion.

00:39:36Expanding the business isn't about hoarding money.

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

00:39:42Grayson, we're really starting a new life.

00:39:47The first stop for our expansion?

00:39:50That port Percy always wanted to take over for himself.

00:40:05Goodbye, Grayson.

00:40:06You made it.

00:40:08You goddamn piece of trash.

00:40:10You actually sold banned meat?

00:40:12Are you even human?

00:40:13Dad, I was just trying to make money.

00:40:16Who knew that ungrateful snake, Grayson, would turn on me?

00:40:19Turn on you?

00:40:20If it weren't for him, we'd all be in prison right now because of you.

00:40:24We have no place for a beast like you.

00:40:26I was tasting the finest wine in my estate.

00:40:29Percy was in that old house, taking the beating my parents should have given him long ago.

00:40:33He used to think he was the pride of the family.

00:40:35In truth, he was just a cowardly, rotten parasite.

00:40:37You're a monster!

00:40:38Get out!

00:40:39Stop hitting me!

00:40:41Grayson is loaded.

00:40:42He's got tens of millions now.

00:40:44Make him help me!

00:40:46You still have the nerve to mention him?

00:40:49When you paid him 2,000 bucks, did you ever stop to think he was your little brother?

00:40:54Get out!

00:40:55Go be a line cook out on the streets!

00:41:04His nightmare had only just begun.

00:41:16What happened at Iron Anchor was a misunderstanding.

00:41:19I already switched suppliers.

00:41:22Just lift the ban, please.

00:41:24Give me one more day.

00:41:26Mr. Percy, your restaurant is on the national blacklist now.

00:41:30Old frozen meat and formalide-laden decor?

00:41:32Those search terms are number one on Google.

00:41:35Stop wasting our time.

00:41:36Get out and don't bring that stench into our office.

00:41:39Reputation takes a year to build and one plate of rotten Otoro sushi to destroy.

00:41:49Lisa!

00:41:51Where are you going?

00:41:52My cards are frozen.

00:41:53You have to help me.

00:41:54Help you?

00:41:55Percy?

00:41:56Right now, you're worse than a homeless guy on the street.

00:41:59These bottles are my appearance fee for putting on that show with you for a year.

00:42:03Don't contact me again.

00:42:04I don't want creditors thinking I'm your partner.

00:42:07The love he was so proud of?

00:42:11It ran faster than anyone the moment Iron Anchor got shut down.

00:42:16That's my car!

00:42:17That's my money!

00:42:25Watching Percy fall apart like this, I couldn't help but feel grateful that the woman by my side is Mia.

00:42:34With nowhere left to go, Percy stole mom and dad's retirement savings and borrowed a huge junk of money from

00:42:40the neighbors.

00:42:41My parents called me to handle it.

00:42:43I bought the most expensive estate in Manhattan, a place with a garden bigger than Percy's entire restaurant.

00:42:49I brought Mia back here to show my parents that their younger son, the one they called just a line

00:42:54cook, was the true pride of the family.

00:42:59Mom, just $20,000.

00:43:02Give it to me and I'll pay you back ten times when I'm back on top.

00:43:05You animal!

00:43:06You stole the money mom needs for her heart surgery and you scamp the neighbors.

00:43:10We can't even show our faces outside anymore.

00:43:12Are you going to drive us crazy?

00:43:13Grayson, you ungrateful snake.

00:43:15You live in a mansion, wear suits worth tens of thousands, and you just watch your own brother die?

00:43:20Dad, Mom, here are the keys to your new house, a villa I bought for you on the Upper East

00:43:24Side.

00:43:24It comes with the best in-home doctors.

00:43:27Percy, don't you dare use the word family to disgust me.

00:43:30The moment you stole their retirement money, you should have realized you're already out of this family.

00:43:36Ah! Money! That's mine!

00:43:41You owe me!

00:43:42This money is for the neighbors.

00:43:44As for you, Percy, you don't deserve to touch a single cent.

00:43:47I was wearing clothes he could never afford in his lifetime.

00:43:49I was standing at a height he would never reach.

00:43:52And he was down on the ground like a dog, finally realizing he had lost.

00:44:03Good morning, Mr. Grayson.

00:44:05Thank you for the jobs you've provided.

00:44:07Mr. Grayson, Seamist Restaurant is truly the pride of this entire street.

00:44:12A month ago, when I walked down this street, everyone looked at me like I was a joke.

00:44:16Now, I own half the storefronts on this block, and the looks people give me have gone from contempt to

00:44:21respect.

00:44:23Suddenly, from the end of the street, a sharp scream cut through the air, followed by a sickening crunch.

00:44:28Two million in penalties. You promised to pay today. Where's the money?

00:44:36He's got money. That's my own brother. Go ask him. He could sneeze and have enough to pay you all

00:44:41off.

00:44:42A piece of trash like you, dares to call him your brother? He just issued a statement in the paper.

00:44:46He's cutting all ties with you.

00:44:47No money, huh? Then we do it the old way. Let's start with two fingers.

00:44:57I took Mia's hand and stepped through the magnificent doors of Seamist Restaurant.

00:45:01Behind me, Percy's screams for help echoed as the debt cappers dragged him into the shadows.

00:45:05Police!

00:45:06Go tell those guys, don't let any blood get spilled in front of my restaurant, and make it quick.

00:45:12Yes, Mr. Grayson.

00:45:26From today on, Seamist is no longer just a restaurant.

00:45:29We're going to build the most legitimate food supply chain in this city.

00:45:32And the people on Surlate, if they're clean, no tricks, no dirt, I'll double their pay.

00:45:37Yes, Grayson.

00:45:39Grayson, congratulations on the new company.

00:45:41I left that loser, Percy, because I could see you were the real deal.

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

00:45:47Grayson, does Seamist need a PR director?

00:45:50Or maybe a personal assistant?

00:45:52I know everything you like, just like I knew everything about Percy.

00:45:56Lisa, you sure knew Percy.

00:45:57You knew exactly how to kick him when he was down.

00:46:00And you know exactly how to crawl back like a parasite the second you smell money.

00:46:03Miss Lisa, Seamist doesn't need an assistant.

00:46:06But we are looking for a cleaner to take out the trash.

00:46:08But take a look at your clothes.

00:46:09I doubt you could even hold a rag, Stady.

00:46:11Get this piece of cheap, perfumed garbage out of here.

00:46:14From today on, if she shows up within a kilometer of Seamist, call the cops immediately.

00:46:19Grayson!

00:46:20Don't get cocky!

00:46:22You were just a line cook too!

00:46:24What?

00:46:25What?

00:46:26I watched her pathetic retreat.

00:46:28In the eyes of opportunists like her, every spot next to me has a price tag.

00:46:33But they don't know.

00:46:34Mia lived with me in that leaky rental apartment.

00:46:37I know for certain.

00:46:39She is the one and only love my life.

00:46:41Why do you keep staring at me?

00:46:46Mia.

00:46:48I think I owe you a grand wedding.

00:47:03Mr. Grayson, do you take Mia to be your wife, to cherish her in both poverty and wealth?

00:47:09I do.

00:47:12Today, all those wealthy socialettes who used to mock us as the poor couple are sitting right there in the

00:47:19audience, applauding us with the most flattering cheers.

00:47:23This is the coronation I promised my wife.

00:47:32Grayson, save me! The debt calures broke my fingers. I'm in the alley, right outside the church. Please, just give

00:47:37me $50,000 one last time.

00:47:42Is it him?

00:47:50Someone who doesn't matter.

00:47:52He doesn't get to disturb our wedding.

00:47:54I'm not going to pile on someone already down.

00:47:57Not out of mercy.

00:47:58He's just not worth my time.

00:48:00But I'm not a pushover either.

00:48:03Kindness needs teeth.

00:48:04Or it means nothing.

00:48:14That was mine.

00:48:16That should have been mine.

00:48:17That $6 million.

00:48:19The fame.

00:48:20The woman.

00:48:21All of it was mine.

00:48:22I bought the most expensive billboard in Times Square and played my wedding video on loop.

00:48:27Percy watched the screen in fury.

00:48:30Percy, your big shot brother already said he's stripping you of his last name.

00:48:33You don't even have a surname anymore now.

00:48:35He's got money.

00:48:36He's got billions.

00:48:37Go kill him.

00:48:38Kill him and all that money becomes mine.

00:48:40Kill him?

00:48:41Grayson is the mayor's right-hand band now.

00:48:43He's got thousands of bodyguards.

00:48:45But you, your eyeballs are worth something.

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

00:48:52Grayson, you think you've won?

00:48:54Your woman's about to give birth, right?

00:48:57You're going to regret this.

00:48:58I'm going to destroy your happiness.

00:49:00Completely.

00:49:01I thought he would just wither away in his despair.

00:49:04I underestimated how deeply greed and jealousy can twist with a person's soul.

00:49:10A vicious plan was closing in on me.

00:49:22Grayson, you live in a mansion worth thousands of square feet, and you're going to let me freeze to death

00:49:27out here?

00:49:28Grayson, you know, he is your own brother.

00:49:30Can't you give him one more chance?

00:49:32A year ago, Percy was throwing money around at Iron Anchor while mom and dad lived in that leaky old

00:49:37house.

00:49:37He never once mentioned family.

00:49:39Now that he's drowning, he's using our elderly parents to play the guilt card.

00:49:43That kind of plate is disgusted to me even more than that plate of rotten motosushi.

00:49:53Brother, save me!

00:49:55Just transfer 10% of CMIS shares to me, and the creditors will leave me alone!

00:50:01Mom and dad, please say something for me!

00:50:04Grayson, those deck cleapers are beating Percy half to death!

00:50:07He still has the strength to beg.

00:50:08He still has the strength to come here.

00:50:10He's perfectly capable of pulling himself out of this mess.

00:50:14You cold-blooded freak!

00:50:23You tried to hurt your own little brother?

00:50:27Mom, dad, this is the son you wanted me to help.

00:50:31He never once thought of us as family.

00:50:36I never kick a man when he's down, but I will not repay evil with kindness.

00:50:42In that moment, his last family card was burned to ash by my own hand.

00:50:48You animal!

00:50:49Now we only have one son, Grayson!

00:50:52Don't you ever show your face in front of us again!

00:50:54No, no, no!

00:50:56Mom!

00:50:57Dad!

00:50:57No, no, no!

00:50:59No!

00:51:03That hopeless bastard.

00:51:06Grayson, it was our fault for asking you to help him.

00:51:10Don't worry about it, Mom.

00:51:12Mr. Grayson, it's bad.

00:51:14While your parents were asleep, a man claiming to be their son forced his way in and took their bags.

00:51:19That animal?

00:51:20Those bags had Mom and Dad's life savings!

00:51:23They're only retirement money!

00:51:26I thought Percy would just crawl into some corner and wait to die after being exposed.

00:51:31I underestimated how desperate a gambler with nothing left to loss can become.

00:51:41He didn't steal that money to pay off his debts.

00:51:43He stole it to feed his delusional dream of a comeback.

00:51:49Grayson, we found him.

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

00:51:53They produce illegal chemical flavorings that are highly addictive.

00:51:57He's trying to use those poisons to pop his sea mists' taste and force his way back into the market.

00:52:01For a little money, he's willing to do something like this?

00:52:16Get the best medical team in the country.

00:52:1824-hour care for Mom and Dad.

00:52:20Do whatever it takes to keep them from finding out what that bastard Percy has done.

00:52:24As for Percy, I'm going to make him pay.

00:52:28Before, I just wanted to see him broken on the streets.

00:52:31Now, I'm going to take him out myself.

00:52:40Talk!

00:52:41Talk!

00:52:41What did that ungrateful bastard give you?

00:52:43How dare you call him the most conscientious chef in Manhattan on livestream?

00:52:48He was about to pass out from hunger and I gave him a burger.

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

00:52:53You're the real demon.

00:52:56A good man?

00:52:57I'll break the hand that fed him.

00:53:00You're the real demon.

00:53:05Percy, go ahead.

00:53:07Touch that hand and see what happens.

00:53:09Grayson!

00:53:10You think just because you're some big shot now, you're untouchable?

00:53:14This old man insulted me.

00:53:15I'll kill him.

00:53:20My hand!

00:53:21Grayson, you crazy bastard!

00:53:23That one's for the burger.

00:53:26My rule is simple.

00:53:28A kindness, I return it tenfold.

00:53:30A slight, I break the bone.

00:53:33And from that, delivered it.

00:53:38Sir, an apartment on the Upper East Side and a restaurant on Sorelli Street.

00:53:43They're yours now.

00:53:44Mr. Grayson.

00:53:47This is too much.

00:53:50This is nothing next to that burger you gave me back then.

00:53:53Percy lay there in the filthy water, watching the trash he'd just been kicked suddenly become

00:53:57the property owner he'd only ever dreamed of.

00:54:00Jealousy and pain and anger have been sent.

00:54:08Jesus, wait!

00:54:11While I sat atop C-Mist restaurant, enjoying the rich aroma of premium Wagyu, Percy was hiding

00:54:18in the stinking alleys of the slums, trying to make his last desperate comeback.

00:54:26You seein' this?

00:54:28This is what real charity looks like.

00:54:30C-Mist charges thousands for one meal.

00:54:33That's robbery!

00:54:34My bliss box is only $9.99!

00:54:38$9.99!

00:54:39Get it while it lasts!

00:54:41You losers!

00:54:43Eat it or don't, I don't care!

00:54:45Once I save up enough to buy out the C-Mist, you could beg for it on your knees!

00:54:48Get lost!

00:54:49All of you haters, get lost!

00:54:52He had become a complete outcast, despised by the entire internet.

00:54:57He was poisoning those poor people, using that nerve-destroying addictive flavoring to make

00:55:01money, dreaming of making a comeback.

00:55:03He was knight.

00:55:04The foundation of business has never been violent addiction.

00:55:07It's absolute control over the global supply chain.

00:55:16Grayson, you came to laugh at me?

00:55:18Look!

00:55:19Look at all these people in line!

00:55:21My capital is doubling!

00:55:23Soon I'll be able to buy out your fake little restaurant!

00:55:26What have you got to fight me with?

00:55:29In C-Mist Group's name, inform the Global Spice Association.

00:55:32From this moment on, whoever sells one gram of spice to any factory connected to Percy

00:55:37will be permanently erased from the global supply chain.

00:55:39Spice? I've got money, you idiot!

00:55:41I'll just buy some from Chinatown!

00:55:47What? Not just the big suppliers?

00:55:49Even the small workshops are canceling?

00:55:51They're demanding triple the refund?

00:55:53Without spice, I can't cover up the bitterness of all that expired rotten meat!

00:55:57Hello?

00:55:57Percy, without fire and salt, you can't even cook a plate of garbage.

00:56:02I cut off his last lifeline.

00:56:12Leo, you're the person Grayson trusts the most.

00:56:15Just put one drop of this vial into his tuna.

00:56:18This five million and shares in the new company.

00:56:21It's all yours.

00:56:23Five million.

00:56:24Got to admit, that's tempting.

00:56:27Good!

00:56:27That arrogant bastard Grayson.

00:56:29He never imagined he'd be betrayed by someone he saved.

00:56:33Percy, looks like you forgot.

00:56:35Leo was about to go under, and I'm the one who pulled him out.

00:56:38Your filthy money couldn't even buy back the life I saved for him back then.

00:56:43When I save someone, loyalty is in their blood.

00:56:47Percy's blood?

00:56:48It's pure, rotting greed.

00:56:51Trying to buy loyalty with filthy garbage like that is basically him executing whatever intelligence he had left.

00:56:58Tell me, if you drank that stuff you cooked up yourself, what do you think would happen?

00:57:04No.

00:57:05No.

00:57:07Grayson, I'm your own brother.

00:57:09Don't kill me.

00:57:10Kill you?

00:57:12That would dirty my basement.

00:57:16Send him back.

00:57:17Crawling in the mud, that's the only thing that suits him.

00:57:20He took a step against me, so I'll make sure he never walks straight again.

00:57:24His dignity?

00:57:25I've stomped it straight into the gutter.

00:57:30Starting today, the C-Mist Group is acquiring every last shop on Surla Street.

00:57:36All of you who didn't follow Percy when he was doing his dirty work,

00:57:39you each receive a 5% in the original shares.

00:57:45I came back to rebuild, not to take revenge.

00:57:49I wanted these honest people to know, follow Grayson,

00:57:52and even a vegetable seller can stand tall and make money right here in Manhattan.

00:58:01Hurry up.

00:58:02Just give me some bread.

00:58:03I'm starving.

00:58:04Here.

00:58:05Mr. Grayson specifically asked for this, for some special people.

00:58:09Three-day-old stale ends.

00:58:13I watched him.

00:58:16He once wanted to starve me.

00:58:19Now, he's only breathing because I choose to throw him scraps.

00:58:25Percy, you're not off the hook yet.

00:58:27That illegal factory's poison?

00:58:30Time for you to take a sip yourself.

00:58:37Everyone, C-Mist restaurant's so-called natural ingredients are nothing but a lie for the rich.

00:58:43Today, I'm going to expose Grayson's crimes, monopolizing spices, and driving up prices.

00:58:52Our tech-based food costs only 1% of C-Mist's, but tastes exactly the same.

00:58:58Grayson's era is over.

00:59:01I saw Percy's little circus act on the screen, and it did nothing to me.

00:59:05He's cozying up to those drug manufacturers who skate just inside the law trying to define great food with cheap

00:59:09-mical garbage.

00:59:10He doesn't understand.

00:59:12Real top-tier ingredients are a gift from the earth and the sun, not some molecular arrangement in a lab.

00:59:21Today, the C-Mist group will roll out the global restaurant platinum standard.

00:59:25Any restaurant that does not meet the natural supply chain audit will be removed from the global procurement wild bist

00:59:31for good.

00:59:34Mr. Grayson's proposal is a beacon for the restaurant industry, and we support it 100%.

00:59:40While Percy was still in that dark little corner trying to smear my name, I was at the top of

00:59:46the food chain, rewriting the rules of the game.

00:59:49He thinks he's competing with me.

00:59:51The truth is, he's just swarming between my fingers.

00:59:56Ah!

00:59:56This is impossible!

00:59:58Why would the WTO stand up for a guy who used to be a line cook?

01:00:03Leo, tell the people next door that my press conference is over.

01:00:08Now, it's time to take out the trash.

01:00:17Grayson!

01:00:18This is illegal entry!

01:00:20My tech food is the future of the industry!

01:00:22The future of the industry?

01:00:24This chemical waste that makes people hallucinate?

01:00:27This bowl of plain kanji, made simply with rice from the 40th parallel north and spring water from Crimea.

01:00:34Judges, please.

01:00:37This is the taste of a mother's cooking.

01:00:40This is the pure warmth of the earth.

01:00:42Today, I destroyed all his hypocrisy and arrogance with a single bowl of plain kanji.

01:00:46A true master chef doesn't need complex recipes.

01:00:48All he needs is a heart that respects nature.

01:00:50Percy's lab-made perfect flavor?

01:00:52Compared to the real deal, it's just a toxic fraud.

01:00:56This is the molecular formula for your synthetic meat.

01:01:00There's a high dose of neural blockers in this.

01:01:02Keep eating it, and you'll go crazy.

01:01:05Percy, this isn't cooking.

01:01:07It's straight-up murder!

01:01:10Murderer!

01:01:11Get out of Manhattan!

01:01:12Go to hell, you piece of trash!

01:01:14No, this isn't true!

01:01:16Grayson, you're setting me up!

01:01:17Percy, the moment you decided to poison the world with your drugs, the gates of hell were already open for

01:01:22you.

01:01:27Percy knelt on the ground, covered in filth, clinging to his father's legs and wailing.

01:01:31His illegal lab had just been raided by the police.

01:01:33He was now a wanted criminal across the country.

01:01:36Dad, Mom, save me!

01:01:38Grayson is gonna kill me!

01:01:40He's gonna throw me into the meat grinder with all those creditors!

01:01:45Percy!

01:01:47You are still my eldest son, after all.

01:01:54Grayson, could you maybe...

01:02:02Mom, even now, you still think he just made a mistake?

01:02:05The first one, this is the pension transfer authorization he personally signed while you were both in the hospital.

01:02:10The second one, this is the contract where he mortgaged this family home to underground loan sharks behind your backs.

01:02:19You animal!

01:02:20You even stole our funeral fund!

01:02:21Do you want the two of us to die on the street?

01:02:23Dad, I was trying to make a comeback!

01:02:25Once my chemical sauce sells, I could buy you a hundred penthouses!

01:02:27Go.

01:02:28Just go, Percy.

01:02:30I don't have a son like you anymore.

01:02:32Percy, the biggest mistake you ever made

01:02:35was treating everyone around you as sacrificial lambs for your own success.

01:02:40Starting today, you are out of this family.

01:02:44Percy, do you remember what you said?

01:02:46That one of us would take over the world, and the other would fade into obscurity?

01:02:50I'm going to make sure you watch me take over the world.

01:02:52Grayson!

01:02:53You goddamn bastard!

01:02:58Grayson, you said you wanted to settle family accounts on this day.

01:03:02If you don't have solid evidence, you know the consequences.

01:03:06The Thorn family rule is pragmatism.

01:03:09But in dismantations, rules are just a cover-up for his greed.

01:03:13A year ago, Percy stood at a family gathering and mocked these hands of mine,

01:03:17saying they were only good for holding a kitchen knife.

01:03:19Today, I'm not just taking back my dignity.

01:03:21I'm tearing apart his lies with my own hands.

01:03:24He thought being family would save him, like a free pass.

01:03:27What he didn't know is that before absolute rules,

01:03:29every single betrayal comes with a price.

01:03:32First crime, exploitation.

01:03:33In the three years at Iron Anchor, he withheld $90,000 of my front propyorkant payment

01:03:37and treated me like cheap liber.

01:03:39Second crime, poisoning.

01:03:41He colluded with chemical companies and added nerve-blocking agents to the ingredients.

01:03:44This is a direct assault on the hundred-year reputation.

01:03:47Third crime, attempted murder.

01:03:49He tried to attack and harm me.

01:03:51Oh!

01:03:52You animal!

01:03:53You dared to harm your own brother?

01:03:56Fourth crime, and the most unforgivable one, embezzlement.

01:03:59While our parents were in the hospital,

01:04:01he stole their pension and mortgaged the family home.

01:04:04He tried to push the very people who razed him into the Hudson River.

01:04:07No!

01:04:07That was all for business!

01:04:09Grayson, you're insane!

01:04:11Evidence is cold, but people's hearts are hot.

01:04:13The moment those four crimes came together, to these elders,

01:04:16he was no longer the hope of the family.

01:04:17He was a rotting sword that had to be cut out.

01:04:19You worthless bastard!

01:04:20What do you have to say for yourself?

01:04:28Elder, even if I was wrong, I'm the only business genius in this family.

01:04:32Grayson is just a cook, he can't protect the family's legacy.

01:04:35A business genius?

01:04:37Parsi, all your so-called management is just chasing internet fame

01:04:41while clinging to the dying Iron Anchor restaurant.

01:04:47This is CMIST Group's valuation.

01:04:50$100 billion.

01:04:51I don't just control one-third of the top-tier supply gen.

01:04:54I also have the industry medal personally awarded by the World Trade Organization.

01:04:58I wasn't showing them money, but absolute dominance.

01:05:01In this world, capital speaks.

01:05:02And the highest level of capital, it makes people kneel.

01:05:05Percy thought he was running a business.

01:05:06Me?

01:05:07I'm running an era.

01:05:08When I spread out these reports enough to buy half of New York,

01:05:10his pathetic little assets wouldn't even be enough to pay my taxes.

01:05:14One...

01:05:14$100 billion?

01:05:16Grayson, you did this in just one year?

01:05:18Please, Mr. Grayson, take your place as the head of the family!

01:05:22That's mine!

01:05:23That was supposed to be mine!

01:05:25Grayson, what right do you have, you lowly line cook?

01:05:28Percy, take a good look.

01:05:30In this world, the strong make the rules.

01:05:33The weak...

01:05:33Just wait to die.

01:05:36I stand at the summit, looking down at him.

01:05:38He once wanted me to kneel.

01:05:40Now, he wasn't even worthy to lift his head and look at me.

01:05:51Thorne Percy, from this moment on, you no longer carry the Thorne name.

01:05:55You are out of this family.

01:05:57No, you can't tear it!

01:05:58I am a Thorne!

01:05:59I have Thorne blood running through my veins!

01:06:01Without the family, the creditors would tear Percy to pieces.

01:06:04I knew that, and I didn't help it.

01:06:06Percy, the moment you stole Mum and Dad's pension, you had no blood relation left.

01:06:10I watched that page get consumed by the flames, turning to ash.

01:06:13In Thorne family tradition, being expelled means social death.

01:06:16From now on, he is no one's son, no one's brother.

01:06:18As a nameless nobody in the filthiest sewers, he will pay back every blood bet he owed.

01:06:22I want you to live...

01:06:24as a man with no name.

01:06:26Grayson!

01:06:27You bastard!

01:06:29Without my hundred thousand dollars, you'd still be a cockroach in the gutter!

01:06:33A pathetic, lowly line cook!

01:06:44From this day forward, the Thorne family has no Percy.

01:06:47I looked up at the skyscrapers in the distance.

01:06:57No money!

01:06:58Then pay with your life!

01:07:00The Thorne family has already thrown you away like garbage.

01:07:04Right now, you're worse than the rats this alley.

01:07:11Please, just give me one more day.

01:07:13Just one day!

01:07:14Grayson has money.

01:07:15He has hundreds of billions!

01:07:18He could pluck a hair off his body and it would be enough to pay you all back.

01:07:25In Manhattan, the highest form of rejection isn't insults.

01:07:29It's silence.

01:07:30Right now, I'm sitting within arm-wraich of him.

01:07:32But I can't even be bothered to lift a finger.

01:07:34The moment he stole our parents' last bit of survival money, he lost even the right

01:07:38to die inside my thoughts.

01:07:40Grayson!

01:07:41My good little brother!

01:07:43Save me!

01:07:43They want my organs!

01:07:45They're gonna chop me up and feed me to the fish!

01:07:47Give me a million!

01:07:48No, five hundred thousand!

01:07:49Just that much!

01:08:06Percy used to say that money was the only true faith in this world.

01:08:10Since he loves money so much, I'll let him feel what it's like when that money becomes

01:08:14a pile of stones crushing his spine.

01:08:24Percy!

01:08:25This is the money you owe us!

01:08:27The price of our sweat!

01:08:28Our blood!

01:08:29Take these bills and crawl back to your hell!

01:08:39Money!

01:08:40My money!

01:08:41My money!

01:08:42Grayson, you finally gave me money!

01:08:44I win!

01:08:46Percy, take a good look.

01:08:47The thing you treat as your religion, to me, is just spare change for trash.

01:08:55I used to be a line cook worth only $2,000.

01:08:58Now I've made him understand, in front of absolute skill and absolute rules, all a greedy

01:09:04man will ever get is a pile of worthless paper.

01:09:18Listen up, everyone.

01:09:20From today on, there's only one standard on Manhattan's dining tables.

01:09:24The Sea Mist Ethical Chef Standard.

01:09:28Any chef who makes it onto Sea Mist's whitelist, I will personally vouch for their professional

01:09:32integrity.

01:09:33In return, Sea Mist guarantees their salary will double.

01:09:36But if anyone dares to put even one gram of dirty ingredients into their food, I promise

01:09:40you, they will never have the chance to pick up a pair of chopsticks again.

01:09:46Grayson, you're absolutely right.

01:09:48Now that you've laid down the rules, none of us would dare to think otherwise.

01:09:52We'll do everything according to Sea Mist rules.

01:10:04Joss, Grayson asked me to tell you something.

01:10:07Since you loved helping Percy handle all that rotten and dirty meat back in the day.

01:10:12You can take on the dirtiest, most disgusting jobs all by yourself for the rest of your life.

01:10:18Grayson!

01:10:20I really know I was wrong.

01:10:22I was just following orders.

01:10:26Please, let me go back to cutting vegetables.

01:10:29I don't even need money.

01:10:31Just let me back into a kitchen.

01:10:37Go back to cutting vegetables?

01:10:39Joss, you're way too naive.

01:10:40You've been blacklisted by the entire restaurant industry.

01:10:44No!

01:10:55New York is just the beginning.

01:11:02Grayson, look how soundly the baby is sleeping.

01:11:05He's going to inherit everything I've built.

01:11:15Try this.

01:11:21I've given Mia the most precious love in the world.

01:11:25Because she was there for me when the road was darkest.

01:11:29This single piece of Satimi is worth a fortune.

01:11:32But it still can't compare to the hug she gave me back then.

01:11:36That was mine.

01:11:37That should have been my spot.

01:11:40Leo.

01:11:42The flies outside are too noisy.

01:11:44Clean them up.

01:11:49On opposite sides of a fence.

01:11:52Worlds apart.

01:12:03Grayson, I knew it.

01:12:05I knew you would come back.

01:12:07Professor, if it weren't for that hard bread you gave me back then,

01:12:10I wouldn't have made it until C-Mist opened.

01:12:13On behalf of the C-Mist group, I am donating $10 billion.

01:12:16Not just for the school, but to honor Professor Smith's craftsmanship.

01:12:22Grayson, does the Research Institute need any logistics staff?

01:12:25We haven't been doing well these past few years.

01:12:27For old time's sake, I remember you.

01:12:29You said back then that I was only fit to clean your toilets.

01:12:32That was a joke.

01:12:33Grayson, we'd take any job, even a janitor at the Research Institute.

01:12:38Tell HR every single position at the Research Institute,

01:12:40from security to cleaning staff to the guys mowing the lawn,

01:12:42I have to interview them personally.

01:12:44I watched the fear and greed in their eyes and I felt nothing.

01:12:46Class, it used to be their weapon for bullying me.

01:12:50Now, it's my shackles for judging them.

01:12:58Sir, I used to run a restaurant.

01:13:00I know a lot about trash sorting.

01:13:02Please, just give me a job so I can eat.

01:13:04Alert, blacklisted individual detected.

01:13:06Percy, permission level permanently banned.

01:13:12Get lost!

01:13:13Every single business under C-mist,

01:13:16even our trash dump won't take scum like you!

01:13:23Grayson!

01:13:24You can't do this to me!

01:13:26I'm your own brother!

01:13:28I bought up all the trash processing rights in Manhattan.

01:13:31Not just for the monopoly.

01:13:32But to make sure certain scumbags have nowhere left to hide in this city.

01:13:36He once said I was a line cook who could be replaced by any homeless guy off the street.

01:13:40Now, he doesn't even qualify to be a sorter.

01:13:43The AI recognition system upgrade looks good.

01:13:46Give the tech department a bonus.

01:13:49The struggles of a clown like this aren't even worth a second of my anger anymore.

01:13:52His misery is just background noise on my way to the top.

01:14:08In the old era of the food industry,

01:14:10the exploiters believed that as long as they controlled the capital,

01:14:12they could run over skill and destroy a chef's soul.

01:14:15But the rise of C-mist is here to tell everyone in this room,

01:14:17I am rewriting the rules.

01:14:19The exploiters will eventually be abandoned by the times,

01:14:21but the craftsmen who protect the soul,

01:14:22they will be crowned kings.

01:14:23I wasn't just giving a speech.

01:14:25I was declaring war on this cold-blooded world of capital.

01:14:29A year ago, they were Percy's guests of honor,

01:14:31laughing as I got thrown out on my ass.

01:14:33Today, with C-mist standards,

01:14:35I've put a shackle called conscience around every single one of their necks.

01:14:39Grayson, C-mist group's valuation can no longer be measured by money.

01:14:42What is your next goal?

01:14:43My goal is to make sure there is no more soil in this world for a cancer like Percy to

01:14:45grow.

01:14:46I saw it, in the eyes of those tycoons who once seemed untouchable.

01:14:49A fear they've never felt before.

01:14:52The underdog's rise isn't a myth,

01:14:53it's the judgment I wrote with my own hands.

01:14:58Grayson!

01:14:59I'm cooperating, I'll tell you everything.

01:15:01Three months ago, that maniac Percy bribed one of our lab technicians.

01:15:04He took high-concentration harmful chemicals.

01:15:06Make it clear.

01:15:08He wants to destroy C-mist's air.

01:15:10He's planning to put harmful substances in that batch of special supply milk powder.

01:15:13I thought stripping him of his name and letting him rot in the gutter like a rat was my final

01:15:17act of mercy.

01:15:18But I underestimated how vicious a mad dog can be.

01:15:21He dared to reach his filthy hands towards my child.

01:15:25Leo, go take care of something.

01:15:27Please give your orders, Mr. Grayson.

01:15:29Mobilize the global legal team.

01:15:30Yes, sir.

01:15:31I want Percy to spend the rest of his life in the coldest, darkest prison cell they can find.

01:15:35Tell the warden, I don't want him dead.

01:15:37I want him to accidentally live to be 100 every single day, surrounded by sickness and the torture of those

01:15:41creditors.

01:15:42Watching the glory of my C-mist restaurant shine in the sunlight.

01:15:45Blinding him from behind those bars.

01:15:47Since he doesn't want to be human, I'll send him to real hell.

01:15:49I want him to live in endless regret, a dying flame in the depths of hell.

01:15:56Defendant Percy, on multiple counts, including food safety violations, attempted harm, malicious tempering, and massive fraud,

01:16:03you are hereby sentenced to life in prison without parole.

01:16:06No!

01:16:07I won't accept this!

01:16:08Grayson, you devil!

01:16:09You manipulated everything!

01:16:11A year ago, I begged him in the rain to leave Mom and Dad some money for their medical bees.

01:16:15He tore my dignity to shreds in public.

01:16:17And now he wants to talk about blood?

01:16:19The moment he reached for Mom and Dad's pension,

01:16:21the moment he reached for my baby's milk powder,

01:16:24he cut that vein with his own hands.

01:16:29Grayson, all that mess in Manhattan,

01:16:32it's finally over.

01:16:35We were blind back then.

01:16:37It was our fault.

01:16:39Mom, it's all in the past.

01:16:40I watched the relieved smiles on my parents' faces.

01:16:44Finally, they were free from that nightmare.

01:16:48Percy is counting lice in a cold prison cell.

01:16:51And my family, we're standing in the sunlight.

01:16:57He rewrote how this industry exploits people.

01:17:00He protected the soul of ingredients.

01:17:02Now let us welcome the world's top culinary leader, Grayson!

01:17:08Today, this trophy doesn't belong to me alone.

01:17:11It belongs to everyone.

01:17:12I'm not standing here to enjoy some empty fame.

01:17:14I'm here to issue the new C-Mist decree.

01:17:16These people, they were once exploited by Percy at Iron Mocker.

01:17:19I announced that C-Mist Group will set up a $1 billion support fund.

01:17:22Every front-line employee who suffered exploitation,

01:17:25as long as you pass the assessment,

01:17:27C-Mist will grant you the right to open a franchise free month.

01:17:30This is what a real slap in the face looks like.

01:17:33I'm going to make Percy watch on TV.

01:17:35All those people he called homeless bums are becoming millionaires under my wing.

01:17:39And him?

01:17:40He can't even afford a roll of toilet paper.

01:17:45Grayson, two-thirds of the Michelin restaurants around the world

01:17:47have already applied to join the C-Mist certification standard.

01:17:53Then let them wait in line.

01:17:55We make the rules.

01:17:58One year ago, I was at the other end of this city

01:18:00holding only $10,000 the money I'd bled for.

01:18:03Now, this building beneath my feet,

01:18:05plus thousands of branches around the world,

01:18:07my net worth has exceeded $100 billion.

01:18:09And this Manhattan reeking of money?

01:18:10I use the most humble skills to level every injustice.
