00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago.
00:00:03Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million in one year.
00:00:07But me? He gave me only 100 grand.
00:00:09A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a month.
00:00:13I gave you 100 grand, and only because you're my brother.
00:00:18I took it with a smile.
00:00:20Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from his.
00:00:25I started my own place.
00:00:27The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped.
00:00:31He smashed his own car hood.
00:00:33He just couldn't wrap his head around it.
00:00:36How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place in town?
00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook.
00:00:45$2,000 a month.
00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared 6 mil.
00:00:53Here's your share.
00:00:59I took it and counted.
00:01:00Only 100,000.
00:01:01Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.
00:01:04I put up the money for this restaurant.
00:01:06I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:08You're just a line cook.
00:01:10Any bum off the street could do your job.
00:01:12If you weren't my brother, you wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:16For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.
00:01:21Okay. I want to tell you about my restaurant.
00:01:24Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you about my restaurant.
00:01:29Thank you for providing such high-quality ingredients.
00:01:32You really helped us solve a big problem.
00:01:36I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what customers really want.
00:01:41Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm calling the cops.
00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.
00:01:50And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle and camps out in front of his live stream.
00:01:55Five people, always the same five, making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.
00:02:05Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:08I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.
00:02:11Thanks.
00:02:12I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.
00:02:16The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.
00:02:19The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.
00:02:22Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:24So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly part well.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:32See you in three days.
00:02:34Good boy.
00:02:35I didn't say a word.
00:02:36Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.
00:02:44And 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.
00:02:52Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.
00:02:56Percy thought it was a dump.
00:02:57A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.
00:03:05Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.
00:03:07Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor.
00:03:09You absolutely sure?
00:03:10I'm sure.
00:03:11I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.
00:03:16Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:19What Percy didn't realize.
00:03:20That award in three days.
00:03:22It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:27This 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.
00:03:43He 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 $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him.
00:04:04Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.
00:04:07Even pulled out his phone and went live, 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.
00:04:24Grayson, 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 is.
00:04:37After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.
00:04:41He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:46But one thing he would never understand.
00:04:49A restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:51And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already 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.
00:05:13My 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.
00:06:30The Industry Benchmark Restaurant Awards were in two days.
00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:36What if I let Nia down?
00:06:37The 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.
00:07:06This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:07:10Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:14What did you say?
00:07:15Sea Mist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:07:27I 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.
00:07:35You 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.
00:08:07The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
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.
00:08:25Percy'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, his little brother, the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from
00:08:37Iron 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 that 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, I 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 tomorrow.
00:09:19Can't you see?
00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work, and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:25Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:09:28If he tries to embarrass me, I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:35A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:09:38Fine.
00:09:40I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:47He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up, his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:54Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all.
00:10:00This is my brother, Grayson.
00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor and thinks he's going
00:10:06to 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.
00:10:32What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough.
00:10:39You're all way out of line.
00:10:41The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:46Grayson, 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.
00:11:24One day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:32These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:35Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:38I could see right through it.
00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before.
00:11:43But the ingredients had changed.
00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money.
00:11:48But he doesn't understand his customers.
00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:53Without my notebook, that records every customer's preferences.
00:11:56He 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.
00:12:22But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:23He 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, and 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 globe.
00:13:01No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:13:04Percy was soaking up the praise.
00:13:06Laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.
00:13:08And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.
00:13:12The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor.
00:13:14Can only be my sea mist restaurant.
00:13:16I raised my glass.
00:13:18A calm smile on my face.
00:13:19You're alright.
00:13:20Everything I do I learned from Percy.
00:13:22My respected big brother.
00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute.
00:13:28Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:36Even though you had the nerve to leave me, I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:40And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:43Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.
00:13:51I looked at the mayor.
00:13:52I knew my chance had come.
00:13:57A year ago, I went through hell to land the supplier with the highest food safety rating.
00:14:03Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:08And now that top tier supplier belongs to me.
00:14:11The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:14:14Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:14:21This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control, but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:33Grayson, 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 with 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, 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.
00:15:15I swear it.
00:15:16I'm just trying to make my little brother better.
00:15:18Otherwise, how is he going to support you and the baby in your belly?
00:15:21With that failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:27I'll learn from him.
00:15:29After today, one of us will be famous and the other will be a nobody.
00:15:37Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:41That is right.
00:15:42After today, one of us is going to take over the world.
00:15:46And the other is going to fade into obscurity.
00:15:48I 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, that Blue Fied Tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile of ruined
00:16:00meat in his hands.
00:16:02And the mayor.
00:16:04He 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.
00:16:18He 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 Blue Fied Tuna was being delivered to Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:16:30where the expensive head chef I hired was handling the premium tuna, according to the methods written in my notebook.
00:16:36My dear fans, it's showtime.
00:16:38The 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 couldn't even dream of reaching this level.
00:16:51Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream, let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother,
00:16:57Grayson.
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.
00:17:06If 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?
00:17:32My 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.
00:17:46Young 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!
00:19:41Yes!
00:19:52Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.
00:19:55Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.
00:19:58His 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.
00:20:14But 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.
00:20:33The 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.
00:20:40Bring it to him.
00:20:40Eat it, Percy.
00:20:41Every last piece.
00:20:42Right now.
00:20:43No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:44You're resisting so hard.
00:20:45Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:20:48No!
00:20:49Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:51The security guard stepped forward.
00:20:53The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.
00:20:56Under the gaze of the city-wide 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.
00:21:12The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.
00:21:20This is the pride of Surla Street, the 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.
00:21:35Percy'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.
00:21:46The 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!
00:21:55Percy, 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 live stream
00:22:03and 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 knives, 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 hands!
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?
00:22:57Banned 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 on this
00:23:24entire 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.
00:23:43While 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.
00:24:13Percy 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.
00:24:29Wipe 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.
00:24:49I think I'd like to try something made by a man with some composure.
00:24:53See, 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.
00:25:14The 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.
00:25:21Because 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.
00:25:38I 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.
00:25:50But 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.
00:26:21Everyone 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.
00:26:43Mr. 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.
00:26:58You can't even walk in there.
00:26:59That's right.
00:27:00And 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.
00:27:46But all of that was about to come to a screeching halt the second I opened that door.
00:27:55This is impossible.
00:27:57Oh, my God.
00:27:58In just a few days, that dump has completely changed.
00:28:02It's so clean and tidy.
00:28:03Way more pleasant to look at than Iron Anchor's tacky, flashy decorations.
00:28:12Grayson.
00:28:13Grayson.
00:28:13Your taste is just as impressive as your food.
00:28:22Man.
00:28:23This place is cleaner than an operating room.
00:28:26I worked around the clock, kneeling on that filthy floor, scrubbing every single crack with
00:28:30a brush.
00:28:31Percy spent his money on those gouty chandeliers that blind you.
00:28:34I 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.
00:28:47How 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.
00:28:53His freezer must be packed with cheap frozen garbage.
00:28:56Trash will always be trash.
00:28:59You want to see?
00:29:01I'll show you.
00:29:07So many.
00:29:08Tuna of this quality.
00:29:09Only three restaurants in all of New York can get their hands on these.
00:29:16Percy, 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 Seamist Restaurant are exclusively supplied
00:29:58through my special channel with the highest A-level safety rate.
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!
00:30:22You ungrateful snake!
00:30:24You took the hundred grand I gave you and used it to steal my supplier and become my enemy?
00:30:29Don't you have any family loyalty at all?
00:30:31Percy.
00:30:35Percy, out of that hundred grand, 90,000 was purchasing money I fronted for you.
00:30:42The remaining 10,000 was what you paid me for three years of working my ass off day and night.
00:30:49You 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,
00:31:03visiting supplier after supplier,
00:31:05screening through thousands of them to find this one.
00:31:08Percy wanted to keep arguing,
00:31:09but 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,
00:31:17most flammable formalhyde-laden boards 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!
00:31:34Mr. Mayor, I was wrong!
00:31:36I just wanted the restaurant to look better!
00:31:38You risked people's lives just to look good?!
00:31:41Percy's tears rolled down his fake, lying face.
00:31:45He 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'd so carefully built
00:31:53was collapsing inch by inch in front of a global audience.
00:31:56I hereby declare C-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.
00:32:12Percy is under official investigation for food safety crimes and commercial fraud.
00:32:17Now, throw this cockroach out of here!
00:32:21Gah!
00:32:21Gah!
00:32:22Gah!
00:32:23Gah!
00:32:24Gah!
00:32:24Gah!
00:32:24Gah!
00:32:27Gah!
00:32:28Gah!
00:32:29Gah!
00:32:29Save 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!
00:32:44Grayson, 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!
00:32:49That'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.
00:33:03Percy, 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
00:33:14to pay the supplier what he owed.
00:33:16He rolled down his car window, blew smoke in my face,
00:33:19and 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.
00:33:26Someone who can make the finest fish smell like death
00:33:29has no place in a kitchen.
00:33:32You're really going to just let me die?
00:33:33For old times' 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
00:33:43is out of respect for you being my big brother.
00:33:49Mr. Grayson, I'm officially transferring my $5 million annual banquet booking
00:33:53to 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
00:33:59from the Manhattan Restaurant Association.
00:34:01We're willing to pay a 50% premium
00:34:02as long as Sea Mist agrees to be our partner.
00:34:04Three hours ago, these same people watched Percy humiliate me
00:34:07in front of everyone.
00:34:08They laughed at me, a 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, you'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.
00:34:28This opportunity is mine.
00:34:33With the mayor's endorsement and the title of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:34:37Sea Mist was splattered all over countless posters.
00:34:41Customers poured into Sea Mist non-stop.
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,
00:35:11the 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.
00:35:37At that moment, Percy,
00:35:38his face caked with mud,
00:35:40pressed himself against the window like a ghost,
00:35:43watching me sign contract after contract,
00:35:46signing away millions of dollars.
00:35:47Furious,
00:35:48he 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!
00:35:56That 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!
00:36:02He 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,
00:36:16he 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 $1,000 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,
00:36:57your old frozen meat got my license revoked.
00:36:59According to the contract,
00:37:01you owe me triple the penalty.
00:37:02That's $2 million.
00:37:04If I don't see that money by tomorrow morning,
00:37:06you can go feed the fish in the Hudson River.
00:37:13Percy,
00:37:14this is James from Seafood Logistics.
00:37:16That industry benchmark prize you promised
00:37:17was total bullshit.
00:37:19I want my shipping fees
00:37:20and the $500,000 penalty.
00:37:21Transfer it now.
00:37:22Otherwise,
00:37:23I'm sending your address
00:37:24to every creditor in Manhattan.
00:37:26Percy pinned all his remaining hope on live streaming.
00:37:29He begged his viewers to send him money
00:37:31to 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
00:37:44to ask for our forgiveness?
00:37:45Report him.
00:37:46Make him disappear for good.
00:37:48No, no, no.
00:37:49If I hadn't skimped on that $90,000,
00:37:51if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:37:53that $6 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.
00:38:17Grayson, I was really wrong.
00:38:23Time to pay up.
00:38:28Hear my love.
00:38:31No, no.
00:38:33Grayson, 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.
00:38:51These 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.
00:39:10Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands,
00:39:11tens 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,
00:39:21and socialettes alike
00:39:22is lining up.
00:39:23We're already booked
00:39:24through Christmas next year.
00:39:25We're rich.
00:39:26We can give our child
00:39:27the best education.
00:39:29We never have to live
00:39:30under Percy's thumb again.
00:39:31I looked at Mia's 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
00:39:45disfarted bread.
00:39:49I moved Mia out of that
00:39:50tiny rental apartment
00:39:51and bought the best estate
00:39:52in the city.
00:39:53Mr. Grayson,
00:39:54this is the most private estate
00:39:55in the entire city.
00:39:56It comes with its own helipad
00:39:57and a top of the security system.
00:39:59Do you like it?
00:40:00The sunlight here is beautiful.
00:40:02Perfect for our kid
00:40:03to run around on the grass someday.
00:40:04I never imagined
00:40:05I'd live in a place
00:40:06like this someday.
00:40:07Grayson,
00:40:07this 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,
00:40:14I bought the estate
00:40:15that Percy never even dared
00:40:16to dream of stepping foot in.
00:40:18And him?
00:40:19He's hiding in some dark corner,
00:40:21running from the creditors.
00:40:23The soft opening of CMIS Branch
00:40:24was a huge success.
00:40:25We can officially launch
00:40:27the expansion plan now.
00:40:28Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:40:29The top ten commercial districts
00:40:30are all fighting for us
00:40:31to 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
00:40:39because he looked at his customers
00:40:41and saw cash cows.
00:40:42I succeeded
00:40:43because I treat food
00:40:44like a religion.
00:40:45Expanding the business
00:40:46isn't about hoarding money.
00:40:48It's about letting more people
00:40:49around the world
00:40:49enjoy this food.
00:40:51Grayson,
00:40:51we're really starting a new life.
00:40:56The first stop
00:40:57for our expansion?
00:40:59That port Percy
00:41:00always wanted to take over
00:41:01for himself.
00:41:14Goodbye, Grayson.
00:41:15You made it.
00:41:17You goddamn piece of trash.
00:41:19You actually sold banned meat?
00:41:20Are you even human?
00:41:22Dad,
00:41:23I was just trying to make money.
00:41:25Who knew that ungrateful snake,
00:41:27Grayson,
00:41:27would turn on me?
00:41:28Turn on you!
00:41:29If it weren't for him,
00:41:30we'd all be in prison right now
00:41:31because of you.
00:41:33We have no place
00:41:34for a beast like you.
00:41:35I was tasting
00:41:36the finest wine
00:41:37in my estate.
00:41:38Percy was in that old house,
00:41:39taking the beating
00:41:40my parents should have
00:41:41given him long ago.
00:41:42He used to think
00:41:42he was the pride
00:41:43of the family.
00:41:44In truth,
00:41:44he was just a cowardly,
00:41:45rotten parasite.
00:41:46You're a monster!
00:41:47Get out!
00:41:48Stop hitting me!
00:41:50Grayson is loaded.
00:41:51He's got tens of millions now.
00:41:53Make him help me!
00:41:55You still have the nerve
00:41:57to mention him?
00:41:58When you paid him
00:41:59two thousand bucks,
00:42:00did you ever stop to think
00:42:01he was your little brother?
00:42:02Get out!
00:42:03Go be a line cook
00:42:04out on the streets!
00:42:13His nightmare
00:42:14had only just begun.
00:42:25What happened at Iron Anchor
00:42:27was a misunderstanding.
00:42:28I already switched suppliers.
00:42:31Just lift the band, please.
00:42:33Give me one more day.
00:42:35Mr. Percy,
00:42:36your restaurant
00:42:36is on the national blacklist now.
00:42:39Old frozen meat
00:42:40and formalide-laden decor?
00:42:41Those search terms
00:42:42are number one on Google.
00:42:44Stop wasting our time.
00:42:45Get out and don't bring
00:42:46that stench
00:42:46into our office.
00:42:48Reputation takes
00:42:49a year to build
00:42:50and one plate
00:42:51of rotten
00:42:51Otoro sushi
00:42:52to destroy.
00:42:58Lisa!
00:43:00Where are you going?
00:43:01My cards are frozen.
00:43:02You have to help me.
00:43:03Help you?
00:43:04Percy?
00:43:05Right now,
00:43:06you're worse
00:43:06than a homeless guy
00:43:07on the street.
00:43:08These bottles
00:43:09are my appearance fee
00:43:10for putting on that show
00:43:11with you for a year.
00:43:12Don't contact me again.
00:43:13I don't want creditors
00:43:15thinking I'm your partner.
00:43:16The love he was so proud of?
00:43:20It ran faster than anyone
00:43:22the moment Iron Anchor
00:43:23got shut down.
00:43:25That's my car!
00:43:26That's my money!
00:43:34Watching Percy
00:43:35fall apart like this,
00:43:36I couldn't help
00:43:37but feel grateful
00:43:38that the woman
00:43:39by my side is Mia.
00:43:43With nowhere left to go,
00:43:45Percy stole mom
00:43:46and dad's retirement savings
00:43:47and borrowed a huge
00:43:48junk of money
00:43:49from the neighbors.
00:43:50My parents called me
00:43:51to handle it.
00:43:52I bought the most
00:43:53expensive estate
00:43:54in Manhattan,
00:43:55a place with a garden
00:43:56bigger than Percy's
00:43:57entire restaurant.
00:43:58I brought Mia back here
00:44:00to show my parents
00:44:00that their younger son,
00:44:02the one they called
00:44:02just a line cook,
00:44:04was the true pride
00:44:05of the family.
00:44:08Mom,
00:44:09just $20,000.
00:44:11Give it to me
00:44:12and I'll pay you back
00:44:13ten times when I'm
00:44:14back on top.
00:44:14You animal!
00:44:15You stole the money
00:44:16mom needs for her
00:44:17heart surgery
00:44:17and you scamp the neighbors.
00:44:19We can't even show
00:44:20our faces outside anymore.
00:44:21Are you going to
00:44:21drive us crazy?
00:44:22Grayson,
00:44:23you ungrateful snake.
00:44:24You live in a mansion
00:44:25where suits worth
00:44:26tens of thousands
00:44:27and you just watch
00:44:28your own brother die?
00:44:29Dad, mom,
00:44:30here are the keys
00:44:30to your new house,
00:44:31a villa I bought for you
00:44:32on the Upper East Side.
00:44:33It comes with the best
00:44:34in-home doctors.
00:44:36Percy,
00:44:36don't you dare use
00:44:37the word family
00:44:38to disgust me.
00:44:39The moment you stole
00:44:39their retirement money,
00:44:41you should have realized
00:44:41you're already out
00:44:42of this family.
00:44:46Money!
00:44:47That's mine!
00:44:50You owe me!
00:44:51This money is for
00:44:52the neighbors.
00:44:53As for you,
00:44:53Percy,
00:44:54you don't deserve
00:44:54to touch a single cent.
00:44:56I was wearing clothes
00:44:57he could never afford
00:44:57in his lifetime.
00:44:58I was standing
00:44:59at a height
00:44:59he would never reach
00:45:00and he was down
00:45:02on the ground
00:45:02like a dog
00:45:03finally realizing
00:45:04he had lost.
00:45:12Good morning,
00:45:13Mr. Grayson.
00:45:14Thank you for the jobs
00:45:15you've provided.
00:45:16Mr. Grayson,
00:45:17Seamist Restaurant
00:45:18is truly the pride
00:45:19of this entire street.
00:45:21A month ago,
00:45:22when I walked down
00:45:23this street,
00:45:23everyone looked at me
00:45:24like I was a joke.
00:45:25Now,
00:45:25I own half the storefronts
00:45:27on this block
00:45:27and the looks people give me
00:45:29have gone from contempt
00:45:30to respect.
00:45:31Suddenly,
00:45:32from the end of the street,
00:45:33a sharp scream
00:45:34cut through the air,
00:45:35followed by a sickening crunch.
00:45:37Two million in penalties!
00:45:39You promised to pay today!
00:45:41Where's the money?
00:45:45He's got money.
00:45:46That's my own brother!
00:45:47Go ask him!
00:45:48He could sneeze
00:45:49and have enough
00:45:49to pay you all off!
00:45:51A piece of trash like you
00:45:52dares to call him your brother?
00:45:53He just issued
00:45:54a 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
00:46:07and stepped through
00:46:07the magnificent doors
00:46:08of Seamist Restaurant.
00:46:10Behind me,
00:46:10Percy's screams for help
00:46:12echoed as the debt cappers
00:46:13dragged him into the shadows.
00:46:14Please!
00:46:15Go tell those guys
00:46:17don't let any blood
00:46:18get spilled
00:46:18in front of my restaurant
00:46:19and make it quick.
00:46:21Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:46:35From today on,
00:46:36Seamist is no longer
00:46:37just a restaurant.
00:46:38We're going to build
00:46:38the most legitimate
00:46:39food supply chain
00:46:40in this city.
00:46:41And the people on Surlate,
00:46:43if they're clean,
00:46:44no tricks,
00:46:45no dirt,
00:46:45I'll double their pay.
00:46:46Yes, Grayson!
00:46:48Grayson,
00:46:49congratulations on
00:46:50the new company.
00:46:50I left that loser Percy
00:46:52because I could see
00:46:53you were the real deal.
00:46:54The one who actually
00:46:55gets things done.
00:46:56Grayson,
00:46:57does Seamist need
00:46:58a PR director?
00:46:59Or maybe
00:47:00a personal assistant?
00:47:01I know everything you like.
00:47:03Just like I knew
00:47:03everything about Percy.
00:47:05Lisa, you sure knew Percy.
00:47:06You knew exactly
00:47:07how to kick him
00:47:08when he was down.
00:47:09And you know exactly
00:47:10how to crawl back
00:47:10like a parasite
00:47:11the second you smell money.
00:47:13Miss Lisa,
00:47:13Seamist doesn't need
00:47:14an assistant.
00:47:15But we are looking
00:47:15for a cleaner
00:47:16to take out the trash.
00:47:17But take a look
00:47:18at your clothes.
00:47:18I doubt you could
00:47:19even hold a rag, Stady.
00:47:20Get this piece of cheap,
00:47:22perfumed garbage out of here.
00:47:23From today on,
00:47:24if she shows up
00:47:25within a kilometer
00:47:26of Seamist,
00:47:27call the cops immediately.
00:47:28Grayson!
00:47:29Don't get cocky!
00:47:31You were just
00:47:32a line cook too!
00:47:33Ah!
00:47:34Ah!
00:47:35I watched her
00:47:36pathetic retreat.
00:47:37In the eyes of opportunists
00:47:39like her,
00:47:39every spot next to me
00:47:40has a price tag.
00:47:42But they don't know.
00:47:43Mia lived with me
00:47:44in that leaky
00:47:45rental apartment.
00:47:46I know for certain.
00:47:48She is the one
00:47:49and only love my life.
00:47:50Why do you keep
00:47:51staring at me?
00:47:55Mia.
00:47:57I think I owe you
00:47:58a grand wedding.
00:48:12Mr. Grayson,
00:48:13do you take Mia
00:48:14to be your wife?
00:48:16To cherish her
00:48:17in both poverty and wealth?
00:48:18I do.
00:48:21Today,
00:48:22all those wealthy socialettes
00:48:24who used to mock us
00:48:25as the poor couple
00:48:26are sitting right there
00:48:28in the audience,
00:48:29applauding us
00:48:30with the most
00:48:30flattering cheers.
00:48:32This is the coronation
00:48:33I promised my wife.
00:48:34I promised my wife.
00:48:41Grayson,
00:48:42save me!
00:48:42The debt collures
00:48:43broke my fingers.
00:48:44I'm in the alley
00:48:44right outside the church.
00:48:45Please,
00:48:46just give me 50,000
00:48:47one last time.
00:48:51Is it him?
00:49:00Someone who doesn't matter.
00:49:01He doesn't get
00:49:02to disturb our wedding.
00:49:03I'm not going to
00:49:04pile on someone
00:49:05already down.
00:49:06Not out of mercy.
00:49:07He's just not worth
00:49:08my time.
00:49:09But I'm not a pushover
00:49:11either.
00:49:12Kindness needs teeth,
00:49:13or it means nothing.
00:49:23That was mine.
00:49:25That should have been mine.
00:49:26That six million dollars,
00:49:28the fame,
00:49:29the woman,
00:49:30all of it was mine.
00:49:31I bought the most
00:49:32expensive billboard
00:49:33in Times Square
00:49:34and played my wedding
00:49:35video on loop.
00:49:36Percy watched
00:49:37the screen in fury.
00:49:38Percy,
00:49:39your big shot brother
00:49:40already said he's
00:49:41stripping you
00:49:41of his last name.
00:49:42You don't even have
00:49:43a surname anymore now.
00:49:44He's got money.
00:49:45He's got billions.
00:49:46Go kill him.
00:49:47Kill him and all
00:49:47that money becomes mine.
00:49:49Kill him?
00:49:50Grayson is the mayor's
00:49:51right-hand gun now.
00:49:52He's got thousands
00:49:53of bodyguards.
00:49:54But you,
00:49:55your eyeballs are worth
00:49:56something.
00:49:57How about we take them
00:49:57as interest first?
00:50:01Grayson,
00:50:02you think you've won?
00:50:03Your woman's about
00:50:04to give birth, right?
00:50:06You're going to regret this.
00:50:07I'm going to destroy
00:50:08your happiness.
00:50:09Completely.
00:50:10I thought he would just
00:50:11wither away in his despair.
00:50:14I underestimated
00:50:15how deeply greed
00:50:16and jealousy
00:50:17can twist
00:50:17every person's soul.
00:50:19A vicious plan
00:50:20was closing in on me.
00:50:30Grayson!
00:50:31You live in a mansion
00:50:33worth thousands
00:50:33of square feet
00:50:34and you're going to let me
00:50:35freeze to death out here?
00:50:37Grayson,
00:50:38you know,
00:50:38he is your own brother.
00:50:39Can't you give him
00:50:40one more chance?
00:50:41A year ago,
00:50:41Percy was throwing money
00:50:43around at Iron Anchor
00:50:44while mom and dad
00:50:45lived in that
00:50:45leaky old house.
00:50:46He never once
00:50:47mentioned family.
00:50:48Now that he's drowning,
00:50:50he's using our elderly
00:50:50parents to play
00:50:51the guilt card.
00:50:52That kind of
00:50:53guilt is disgusted
00:50:54to me even more
00:50:55than that plate
00:50:56of rotten otosushi.
00:51:02Brother!
00:51:03Save me!
00:51:04Just transfer 10%
00:51:06of CMIS shares to me
00:51:08and the creditors
00:51:09will leave me alone!
00:51:10Mom and dad,
00:51:10please say something
00:51:12for me!
00:51:13Grayson,
00:51:13those deck cleapers
00:51:14are beating Percy
00:51:15half to death!
00:51:16He still has the strength
00:51:17to beg.
00:51:17He still has the strength
00:51:18to come here.
00:51:19He's perfectly capable
00:51:20of pulling himself
00:51:21out of this mess.
00:51:23You cold-blooded freak!
00:51:33You tried to hurt
00:51:34your own little brother?
00:51:36Mom, dad,
00:51:38this is the son
00:51:39you wanted me to help.
00:51:40He never once
00:51:41thought of us
00:51:41as family.
00:51:45I never kick a man
00:51:46when he's down,
00:51:47but I will not
00:51:48repay evil
00:51:48with kindness.
00:51:51In that moment,
00:51:52his last family card
00:51:54was burned to ash
00:51:55by my own hand.
00:51:57You animal!
00:51:58Now we only have
00:51:59one son,
00:52:00Grayson!
00:52:01Don't you ever show
00:52:02your face
00:52:02in front of us again!
00:52:03No, no, no!
00:52:05Mom!
00:52:06Dad!
00:52:06No, no, no!
00:52:08Mom!
00:52:08No!
00:52:13That hopeless bastard!
00:52:15Grayson,
00:52:16it was our fault
00:52:17for asking you
00:52:18to help him.
00:52:19Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:52:22Mr. Grayson,
00:52:22it's bad.
00:52:23While your parents
00:52:24were asleep,
00:52:24a man claiming
00:52:25to be their son
00:52:26forced his way in
00:52:27and took their bags.
00:52:28That animal?
00:52:29Those bags had
00:52:30Mom and Dad's
00:52:31life savings!
00:52:32Their only retirement money!
00:52:35I thought Percy
00:52:36would just crawl
00:52:37into some corner
00:52:38and wait to die
00:52:39after being exposed.
00:52:41I underestimated
00:52:41how desperate
00:52:42a gambler
00:52:43with nothing left
00:52:43to loss can become.
00:52:50He didn't steal
00:52:51that money
00:52:51to pay off his debts.
00:52:52He stole it
00:52:53to feed his delusional
00:52:54dream of a comeback.
00:52:58Grayson,
00:52:59you found him.
00:53:00Percy is hooked up
00:53:01with an underground
00:53:02factory in Brooklyn.
00:53:03They produce
00:53:03illegal chemical flavorings
00:53:05that are highly addictive.
00:53:06He's trying to use
00:53:07those poisons
00:53:07to copy Seamist's taste
00:53:09and force his way
00:53:09back into the market.
00:53:10For a little money,
00:53:11he's willing to do
00:53:12something like this?
00:53:25Get the best medical team
00:53:27in the country.
00:53:2824-hour care
00:53:28for Mom and Dad.
00:53:29Do whatever it takes
00:53:30to keep them
00:53:31from finding out
00:53:31what that bastard
00:53:32Percy has done.
00:53:33As for Percy,
00:53:34I'm going to make him pay.
00:53:37Before,
00:53:37I just wanted to see him
00:53:39broken on the streets.
00:53:40Now,
00:53:41I'm going to take him
00:53:42out myself.
00:53:49Talk!
00:53:50What did that
00:53:51ungrateful bastard
00:53:52give you?
00:53:52How dare you call him
00:53:54the most conscientious
00:53:55chef in Manhattan
00:53:56on livestream?
00:53:57He was about to
00:53:58pass out from hunger
00:53:59and I gave him a burger.
00:54:01He's a good man.
00:54:02You're the real demon.
00:54:05A good man?
00:54:07I'll break the hand
00:54:08that fed him.
00:54:09You're the real demon.
00:54:14Percy, go ahead.
00:54:16Touch that hand
00:54:16and see what happens.
00:54:18Grayson!
00:54:19You think just because
00:54:20you're some big shot now
00:54:22you'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.
00:54:37A kindness,
00:54:38I return it tenfold.
00:54:39A slight,
00:54:40I break the bone
00:54:42and from that
00:54:43delivered it.
00:54:46Sir,
00:54:47an apartment on the
00:54:49Upper East Side
00:54:49and a restaurant
00:54:50on Sorelli Street.
00:54:52They're yours now.
00:54:53Mr. Grayson,
00:54:56this is too much.
00:54:59This is nothing
00:55:00next to that burger
00:55:00you gave me back then.
00:55:02Percy lay there
00:55:03in the filthy water
00:55:04watching the trash
00:55:05he'd just been kicking
00:55:06suddenly become
00:55:07the property owner
00:55:07he'd only ever dream.
00:55:09Jealousy and
00:55:10when he drove
00:55:10you happy something.
00:55:17You just wait!
00:55:20While I sat atop
00:55:22Sea Mist restaurant
00:55:23enjoying the rich aroma
00:55:24of premium wagyu
00:55:25Percy was hiding
00:55:27in the stinking alleys
00:55:28of the slums
00:55:29trying to make his last
00:55:30desperate comeback.
00:55:35You seeing this?
00:55:37This is what
00:55:38real charity looks like.
00:55:40Sea Mist charges
00:55:40thousands for one meal.
00:55:42That's robbery.
00:55:43My bliss box
00:55:44is only $9.99.
00:55:47$9.99.
00:55:48Get it while it lasts.
00:55:50You losers!
00:55:52Eat it or don't,
00:55:53I don't care.
00:55:54Once I save up enough
00:55:55to buy out the Sea Mist
00:55:56you could beg for it
00:55:57on your knees.
00:55:57Get lost!
00:55:58All of you haters,
00:56:00get lost!
00:56:01He had become
00:56:02a complete outcast
00:56:03despised by
00:56:04the entire internet.
00:56:05He was poisoning
00:56:06those poor people.
00:56:08using that nerve-destroying
00:56:09addictive flavoring
00:56:10to make money.
00:56:11Dreaming of making
00:56:12a comeback.
00:56:13He was night.
00:56:14The foundation of business
00:56:15has never been
00:56:15violent addiction.
00:56:17It's absolute control
00:56:18over the global supply chain.
00:56:25Grayson,
00:56:26you came to laugh
00:56:27at me?
00:56:27Look!
00:56:28Look at all these people
00:56:30in line!
00:56:30My capital is doubling!
00:56:32Soon I'll be able to buy out
00:56:34your fake little restaurant.
00:56:35What have you got
00:56:36to fight me with?
00:56:38In Sea Mist Group's name,
00:56:40inform the Global Spice Association.
00:56:42From this moment on,
00:56:43whoever sells
00:56:43one gram of spice
00:56:44to any factory
00:56:45connected to Percy
00:56:46will be permanently erased
00:56:47from the global supply chain.
00:56:48Spice?
00:56:48I've got money,
00:56:49you idiot!
00:56:50I'll just buy some
00:56:51from Chinatown.
00:56:52Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:56What?
00:56:57Not just the big suppliers?
00:56:59Even the small workshops
00:57:00are cancelling?
00:57:00They're demanding
00:57:01triple the refund?
00:57:02Without spice,
00:57:03I can't cover up
00:57:04the bitterness
00:57:04of all that expired
00:57:05rotten meat!
00:57:06Hello?
00:57:06Percy,
00:57:07without fire and salt,
00:57:08you can't even cook
00:57:09a plate of garbage.
00:57:11I cut off
00:57:12his last lifeline.
00:57:21Leo,
00:57:22you're the person
00:57:23Grayson trusts the most.
00:57:24Just put one drop
00:57:25of this vial
00:57:26into his tuna.
00:57:27This five million
00:57:28and shares
00:57:29in the new company.
00:57:30It's all yours.
00:57:32Five million.
00:57:33Gotta admit,
00:57:34that's tempting.
00:57:35Ha ha ha ha!
00:57:36Good!
00:57:36That arrogant bastard,
00:57:38Grayson,
00:57:38he never imagined
00:57:39he'd be betrayed
00:57:40by someone
00:57:40he saved!
00:57:42Percy,
00:57:43looks like you forgot.
00:57:44Leo was about
00:57:45to go under,
00:57:46and I'm the one
00:57:46who pulled him out.
00:57:47Your filthy money
00:57:48couldn't even buy back
00:57:50the life I saved
00:57:51for him back then.
00:57:52When I save someone,
00:57:53loyalty is in their blood.
00:57:56Percy's blood?
00:57:57It's pure,
00:57:58rotting greed.
00:58:00Trying to buy loyalty
00:58:01with filthy garbage
00:58:02like that
00:58:02is basically him
00:58:03executing whatever
00:58:04intelligence he had left.
00:58:07Tell me,
00:58:08if you drank that stuff
00:58:10you hooked up yourself,
00:58:11what do you think
00:58:11would happen?
00:58:13No.
00:58:15No.
00:58:16Grayson,
00:58:16I'm your own brother.
00:58:18Don't kill me!
00:58:20Kill you?
00:58:21That would dirty
00:58:22my basement.
00:58:25Send him back.
00:58:27Crawling in the mud,
00:58:28that's the only thing
00:58:28that suits him.
00:58:29He took a step
00:58:30against me,
00:58:31so I'll make sure
00:58:31he never walks
00:58:32straight again.
00:58:33His dignity?
00:58:34I've stomped it
00:58:35straight into the gutter.
00:58:39Starting today,
00:58:41the Sea Mist Group
00:58:42is acquiring
00:58:42every last shop
00:58:44on Surla Street.
00:58:45All of you
00:58:45who didn't follow Percy
00:58:47when he was doing
00:58:47his dirty work,
00:58:48you each receive
00:58:49a 5%
00:58:50in the original shares.
00:58:54I came back
00:58:55to rebuild,
00:58:56not to take revenge.
00:58:58I wanted these
00:58:59honest people to know,
00:59:00follow Grayson,
00:59:01and even a vegetable
00:59:03seller can stand tall
00:59:04and make money
00:59:05right here in Manhattan.
00:59:10Hurry up.
00:59:11Just give me some bread.
00:59:12I'm starving.
00:59:13Here.
00:59:14Mr. Grayson
00:59:15specifically asked
00:59:15for this,
00:59:16for some special people.
00:59:18Three-day-old
00:59:19stale ends.
00:59:22I watched him.
00:59:25He once wanted
00:59:26to starve me.
00:59:28Now,
00:59:29he's only breathing
00:59:30because I choose
00:59:31to throw him scraps.
00:59:34Percy,
00:59:35you're not off
00:59:35the hook yet.
00:59:36That illegal
00:59:37factory's poison?
00:59:39Time for you
00:59:40to take a sip yourself.
00:59:46Everyone,
00:59:47Sea Mist Restaurant's
00:59:48so-called natural
00:59:49ingredients
00:59:50are nothing but
00:59:51a lie for the rich
00:59:52today.
00:59:53I'm going to expose
00:59:54Grayson's crimes,
00:59:55monopolizing spices
00:59:56and driving up prices.
01:00:01Our tech-based food
01:00:03costs only 1%
01:00:04of Sea Mistas
01:00:05but tastes
01:00:06exactly the same.
01:00:07Grayson's era
01:00:08is over.
01:00:10I saw Percy's
01:00:11little circus act
01:00:12on the screen
01:00:13and it did nothing to me.
01:00:14He's cozying up
01:00:15to those drug manufacturers
01:00:16who skate just inside
01:00:17the law trying to define
01:00:18great food with
01:00:18cheat-muckle garbage.
01:00:19He doesn't understand.
01:00:21Real top-tier ingredients
01:00:22are a gift from the earth
01:00:23and the sun
01:00:23not some molecular
01:00:24arrangement in a lab.
01:00:30Today,
01:00:31the Sea Mist group
01:00:31will roll out
01:00:32the global
01:00:33restaurant platinum standard.
01:00:35Any restaurant
01:00:35that does not meet
01:00:36the natural supply chain audit
01:00:37will be removed
01:00:38from the global
01:00:39procurement
01:00:39wild bist for good.
01:00:43Mr. Grayson's proposal
01:00:44is a beacon
01:00:45for the restaurant industry
01:00:46and we support it
01:00:49100%.
01:00:49While Percy was still
01:00:50in that dark little corner
01:00:52trying to smear my name,
01:00:53I was at the top
01:00:55of the food chain
01:00:55rewriting the rules
01:00:57of the game.
01:00:58He thinks he's competing
01:00:59with me.
01:01:00The truth is,
01:01:02he's just swarming
01:01:03between my fingers.
01:01:05Ah!
01:01:05This is impossible!
01:01:07Why would the WTO
01:01:08stand up for a guy
01:01:09who used to be a line cook?
01:01:12Leo,
01:01:13tell the people
01:01:13next door
01:01:14that my press conference
01:01:15is over.
01:01:16Now,
01:01:17it's time
01:01:18to take out the trash.
01:01:26Grayson!
01:01:27This is illegal entry!
01:01:29My tech food
01:01:30is the future
01:01:31of the industry!
01:01:32The future
01:01:32of the industry?
01:01:33This chemical waste
01:01:35that makes people
01:01:35hallucinate?
01:01:37This bowl
01:01:37of plain
01:01:38kanji
01:01:39made simply
01:01:39with rice
01:01:40from the 40th
01:01:41parallel north
01:01:41and spring water
01:01:42from Crimea.
01:01:43Judges,
01:01:43please.
01:01:46This is
01:01:47the taste
01:01:48of a mother's cooking.
01:01:49This is the pure
01:01:50warmth of the earth.
01:01:51Today,
01:01:51I destroyed
01:01:52all his hypocrisy
01:01:53and arrogance
01:01:53with a single bowl
01:01:54of plain kanji.
01:01:55A true master chef
01:01:56doesn't need
01:01:57complex recipes.
01:01:58All he needs
01:01:58is a heart
01:01:59that respects nature.
01:02:00Percy's lab-made
01:02:01perfect flavor
01:02:01compared to the real deal.
01:02:03It's just a toxic fraud.
01:02:04This is the molecular
01:02:06formula for your
01:02:07synthetic meat.
01:02:09There's a high dose
01:02:10of neural blockers
01:02:11in this.
01:02:11Keep eating it
01:02:12and you'll go crazy.
01:02:14Percy,
01:02:15this isn't cooking.
01:02:16It's straight-up murder!
01:02:19Murderer!
01:02:20Get out of Manhattan!
01:02:21Go to hell,
01:02:22you piece of trash!
01:02:24No,
01:02:24this isn't true!
01:02:25Grayson,
01:02:26you're setting me up!
01:02:27Percy,
01:02:27the moment you decided
01:02:28to poison the world
01:02:29with your drugs,
01:02:30the gates of hell
01:02:30were already open for you.
01:02:36Percy knelt on the ground,
01:02:37covered in filth,
01:02:38clinging to his father's legs
01:02:40and wailing.
01:02:40His illegal lab
01:02:41had just been raided
01:02:42by the police.
01:02:43He was now a wanted criminal
01:02:44across the country.
01:02:45Dad,
01:02:46Mom,
01:02:46save me!
01:02:47Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:02:49He's gonna throw me
01:02:50into the meat-grander
01:02:51with all those creditors!
01:02:54Percy,
01:02:56you are still
01:02:57my eldest son
01:02:58after all.
01:03:04Grayson,
01:03:05could you maybe...
01:03:11Mom,
01:03:12even now,
01:03:12you still think
01:03:12he just made a mistake?
01:03:14The first one,
01:03:15this is the pension
01:03:15transfer authorization
01:03:16he personally signed
01:03:17while you were both
01:03:18in the hospital.
01:03:19The second one,
01:03:20this is the contract
01:03:21where he mortgaged
01:03:21this family home
01:03:22to underground loan sharks
01:03:23behind your backs.
01:03:28You animal!
01:03:29You even stole
01:03:30our funeral fund!
01:03:31Do you want the two of us
01:03:32to die on the street?
01:03:33Dad,
01:03:33I was trying to make
01:03:33a comeback!
01:03:34Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:03:35I could buy you
01:03:35a hundred penthouses!
01:03:36Go.
01:03:37Just go,
01:03:38Percy.
01:03:39I don't have a son
01:03:40like you anymore.
01:03:42Percy,
01:03:42the biggest mistake
01:03:43you ever made
01:03:44was treating
01:03:45everyone around you
01:03:46as sacrificial lambs
01:03:48for your own success.
01:03:50Starting today,
01:03:51you are out
01:03:51of this family.
01:03:54Percy,
01:03:54do you remember
01:03:54what you said?
01:03:55That one of us
01:03:56would take over the world
01:03:57and the other
01:03:57would fade into obscurity?
01:03:59I'm gonna make sure
01:03:59you watch me
01:04:00take over the world.
01:04:01Grayson!
01:04:02You goddamn bastard!
01:04:07Grayson,
01:04:08you said you wanted
01:04:09to settle family
01:04:10out counts on this day
01:04:11if you don't have
01:04:12solid evidence.
01:04:13You know the consequences.
01:04:15The Thorn family rule
01:04:16is promitism.
01:04:18But in this man's hands,
01:04:20rules are just a cover-up
01:04:21for his greed.
01:04:22A year ago,
01:04:23Percy stood at a family gathering
01:04:24and mocked these hands of mine,
01:04:26saying they were only good
01:04:27for holding a kitchen knife.
01:04:28Today,
01:04:28I'm not just taking back
01:04:29my dignity.
01:04:30I'm tearing apart his lies
01:04:32with my own hands.
01:04:33He thought being family
01:04:34would save him,
01:04:35like a free pass.
01:04:36What he didn't know
01:04:37is that before absolute rules,
01:04:38every single betrayal
01:04:39comes with a price.
01:04:41First crime,
01:04:42exploitation.
01:04:43In the three years
01:04:43at Iron Anchor,
01:04:44he withheld $90,000
01:04:45of my front per Pjorkin payment
01:04:47and treated me
01:04:47like cheap liber.
01:04:48Second crime,
01:04:49poisoning.
01:04:50He colluded with chemical companies
01:04:51and added nerve-blocking agents
01:04:52to the ingredients.
01:04:53This is a direct assault
01:04:54on the hundred-year reputation.
01:04:56Third crime,
01:04:57attempted murder.
01:04:58He tried to attack
01:04:59and harm me.
01:05:01You animal!
01:05:03You dare to harm
01:05:04your own brother?
01:05:05Fourth crime,
01:05:06and the most unforgivable one,
01:05:08embezzlement.
01:05:09While our parents
01:05:09were in the hospital,
01:05:10he stole their pension
01:05:11and mortgaged the family home.
01:05:13He tried to push
01:05:14the very people
01:05:15who raised him
01:05:15into the Hudson River.
01:05:16No!
01:05:17That was all for business!
01:05:18Grayson,
01:05:19you're insane!
01:05:20Evidence is cold,
01:05:21but people's hearts are hot.
01:05:22The moment those four crimes
01:05:23came together
01:05:24to these elders,
01:05:25he was no longer
01:05:25the hope of the family.
01:05:26He was a rotting sword
01:05:27that had to be cut out.
01:05:28You worthless bastard!
01:05:30What do you have to say
01:05:30for yourself?
01:05:37Elder,
01:05:38even if I was wrong,
01:05:39I'm the only business genius
01:05:40in this family.
01:05:41Grayson is just a cook,
01:05:42he can't protect
01:05:43the family's legacy.
01:05:44A business genius?
01:05:46Parsi,
01:05:47all your so-called management
01:05:48is just chasing
01:05:49internet fame
01:05:50while clinging
01:05:50to the dying
01:05:51Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:05:56This is
01:05:57CMIST Group's valuation.
01:05:59100 billion dollars.
01:06:01I don't just control
01:06:01one-third of the
01:06:02top-tier supply gen.
01:06:03I also have
01:06:04the industry medal
01:06:05personally awarded
01:06:06by the World Trade Organization.
01:06:07I wasn't showing them money,
01:06:09but absolute dominance.
01:06:10In this world,
01:06:10capital speaks,
01:06:11and the highest level
01:06:12of capital,
01:06:13it makes people kneel.
01:06:14Percy thought
01:06:15he was running a business.
01:06:16Me?
01:06:16I'm running an era.
01:06:17When I spread out
01:06:18these reports enough
01:06:19to buy half of New York,
01:06:20his pathetic little assets
01:06:21wouldn't even be enough
01:06:21to pay my taxes.
01:06:23One,
01:06:24100 billion?
01:06:26Grayson,
01:06:26you did this
01:06:27in just one year?
01:06:28Please,
01:06:28Mr. Grayson,
01:06:29take your place
01:06:30as the head of the family.
01:06:31That's mine!
01:06:32That was supposed
01:06:33to be mine!
01:06:34Grayson,
01:06:35what right do you have,
01:06:36you lowly line cook?
01:06:38Percy,
01:06:38take a good look.
01:06:39In this world,
01:06:40the strong make the rules.
01:06:42The weak
01:06:43just wait to die.
01:06:45I stand at the summit,
01:06:46looking down at him.
01:06:47He once wanted me
01:06:49to kneel.
01:06:49Now,
01:06:50he wasn't even worthy
01:06:51to lift his head
01:06:52and look at me.
01:07:00Thorne Percy,
01:07:01from this moment on,
01:07:02you no longer carry
01:07:03the Thorne name.
01:07:04You are out of this family.
01:07:06No,
01:07:07you can't tear it!
01:07:08I am a Thorne!
01:07:09I have Thorne blood
01:07:10running through my veins!
01:07:11Without the family,
01:07:12the creditors would tear
01:07:12Percy to pieces.
01:07:14I knew that,
01:07:14and I didn't help it.
01:07:16Percy,
01:07:16the moment you stole
01:07:17your mum and dad's pension,
01:07:18you had no blood relation left.
01:07:19I watched that page
01:07:20get consumed by the flames,
01:07:21turning to ash.
01:07:22In Thorne family tradition,
01:07:23being expelled means social death.
01:07:25From now on,
01:07:25he is no one's son,
01:07:26no one's brother.
01:07:27As a nameless nobody
01:07:28in the filthiest sewers,
01:07:29he will pay back
01:07:30every blood bet he owed.
01:07:31I want you to live
01:07:33as a man with no name.
01:07:35Grayson!
01:07:37You bastard!
01:07:38Without my $100,000,
01:07:40you'd still be a cockroach
01:07:42in the gutter!
01:07:43A pathetic,
01:07:44lowly line cook!
01:07:53From this day forward,
01:07:55the Thorne family
01:07:55has no Percy.
01:07:57I looked up at the skyscrapers
01:07:58in the distance.
01:08:06No money!
01:08:08Then pay with your life!
01:08:09The Thorne family
01:08:11has already thrown you
01:08:12away like garbage.
01:08:13Right now,
01:08:14you're worse than
01:08:15the rats this alley.
01:08:19Please,
01:08:20just give me one more day.
01:08:22Just one day!
01:08:23Grayson has money.
01:08:25He has hundreds of billions!
01:08:27He could pluck a hair
01:08:28off his body
01:08:29and it would be enough
01:08:30to pay you all back.
01:08:35In Manhattan,
01:08:36the highest form of rejection
01:08:37isn't insults.
01:08:38It's silence.
01:08:39Right now,
01:08:40I'm sitting within
01:08:40arm rage of him,
01:08:41but I can't even be bothered
01:08:43to lift a finger.
01:08:44The moment he stole
01:08:45our parents' last bit
01:08:46of survival money,
01:08:47he lost even the right
01:08:47to die inside my thoughts.
01:08:49Grayson!
01:08:50My good little brother!
01:08:52Save me!
01:08:52They want my organs!
01:08:54They're gonna chop me up
01:08:55and feed me to the fish!
01:08:56Give me a million!
01:08:57No,
01:08:57five hundred thousand!
01:08:58Just that much!
01:09:15Percy used to say
01:09:16that money was the only
01:09:17true faith in this world.
01:09:20Since he loves money so much,
01:09:21I'll let him feel
01:09:22what it's like
01:09:23when that money becomes
01:09:24a pile of stones
01:09:25crushing his spine.
01:09:34Percy,
01:09:34this is the money
01:09:35you owe us,
01:09:36the price of our sweat,
01:09:37our blood.
01:09:38Take these bills
01:09:39and crawl back
01:09:40to your hell!
01:09:48Money!
01:09:49My money!
01:09:51Grayson,
01:09:52you finally gave me money!
01:09:54I win!
01:09:55Percy,
01:09:56take a good look.
01:09:57The thing you treat
01:09:58as your religion
01:09:58to me
01:09:59is just spare change
01:10:01for trash.
01:10:04I used to be a line cook
01:10:05worth only $2,000.
01:10:08Now I've made him understand
01:10:09in front of absolute skill
01:10:11and absolute rules,
01:10:12all a greedy man
01:10:13will ever get
01:10:14is a pile of worthless paper.
01:10:27Listen up, everyone.
01:10:29From today on,
01:10:30there's only one standard
01:10:32on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:10:33The Sea Mist
01:10:35Ethical Chef Standard.
01:10:38Any chef who makes it
01:10:39onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:10:40I will personally vouch
01:10:41for their professional integrity.
01:10:42In return,
01:10:43Sea Mist guarantees
01:10:44their salary will double.
01:10:45But if anyone dares
01:10:46to put even one gram
01:10:47of dirty ingredients
01:10:48into their food,
01:10:48I promise you,
01:10:49they will never have the chance
01:10:50to pick up a pair
01:10:51of chopsticks again.
01:10:56Grayson,
01:10:56you're absolutely right.
01:10:58Now that you've laid down
01:10:58the rules,
01:10:59none of us would dare
01:11:00to think otherwise.
01:11:01We'll do everything
01:11:02according to Sea Mist rules.
01:11:12Joss,
01:11:14Grayson asked me
01:11:14to tell you something.
01:11:16Since you loved
01:11:17helping Percy handle
01:11:18all that rotten,
01:11:19dirty meat back in the day,
01:11:21you can take on
01:11:22the dirtiest,
01:11:23most disgusting jobs
01:11:24all by yourself
01:11:25for the rest of your life.
01:11:27Grayson!
01:11:29I really know I was wrong.
01:11:31I was just following orders.
01:11:34Please,
01:11:35let me go back
01:11:37to cutting vegetables.
01:11:38I don't even need money.
01:11:40Just let me back
01:11:41into a kitchen.
01:11:46Go back to cutting vegetables?
01:11:48Joss,
01:11:49you're way too naive.
01:11:50You've been blacklisted
01:11:51by the entire restaurant,
01:11:52industry.
01:11:53No!
01:12:05New York is just
01:12:06the beginning.
01:12:11Grayson,
01:12:12look how soundly
01:12:13the baby is sleeping.
01:12:15He's going to inherit
01:12:16everything I've built.
01:12:24Try this.
01:12:30I've given Mia
01:12:31the most precious love
01:12:32in the world
01:12:34because she was there
01:12:35for me when the road
01:12:36was darkest.
01:12:38This single piece
01:12:39of Satimi
01:12:40is worth a fortune,
01:12:42but it still can't compare
01:12:43to the hug
01:12:43she gave me back then.
01:12:45That was mine.
01:12:46That should have been
01:12:47my spot.
01:12:49Leo,
01:12:51the flies outside
01:12:52are too noisy.
01:12:53Clean them up.
01:12:58on opposite sides
01:12:59of a fence,
01:13:01worlds apart.
01:13:13Grayson,
01:13:13I knew it.
01:13:14I knew you would come back.
01:13:16Professor,
01:13:17if it weren't for that
01:13:18hard bread you gave me
01:13:19back then,
01:13:20I wouldn't have made it
01:13:21until C-Mist opened.
01:13:22On behalf of the C-Mist group,
01:13:24I am donating
01:13:24$10 billion,
01:13:26not just for the school,
01:13:27but to honor
01:13:27Professor Smith's
01:13:28craftsmanship.
01:13:31Grayson,
01:13:32does the Research Institute
01:13:33need any logistics staff?
01:13:34We haven't been doing well
01:13:35these past few years.
01:13:36For old times' sake,
01:13:37I remember you.
01:13:38You said back then
01:13:39that I was only fit
01:13:40to clean your toilets.
01:13:41That was a joke.
01:13:43Grayson,
01:13:43we'd take any job,
01:13:44even a janitor
01:13:45at the Research Institute.
01:13:47Tell HR
01:13:48every single position
01:13:49at the Research Institute
01:13:49from security
01:13:50to cleaning staff
01:13:51to the guys mowing the lawn,
01:13:52I have to interview them personally.
01:13:53I watched the fear
01:13:54and greed in their eyes
01:13:55and I felt nothing.
01:13:56Class,
01:13:56it used to be their weapon
01:13:58for bullying me.
01:13:59Now,
01:13:59it's my shackles
01:14:00for judging them.
01:14:07Sir,
01:14:08I used to run a restaurant.
01:14:09I know a lot
01:14:10about trash sorting.
01:14:11Please,
01:14:12just give me a job
01:14:13so I can eat.
01:14:13Alert.
01:14:14Blacklisted individual detected.
01:14:16Pershing.
01:14:16Permission level
01:14:17permanently banned.
01:14:21Get lost!
01:14:22Every single
01:14:23business under sea mist,
01:14:25even our trash dump,
01:14:26won'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
01:14:38all the trash processing rights
01:14:39in Manhattan,
01:14:40not just for the monopoly,
01:14:41but to make sure
01:14:42certain scumbags
01:14:43have nowhere left
01:14:44to hide in this city.
01:14:45He once said
01:14:46I was a line cook
01:14:47who could be replaced
01:14:47by any homeless guy
01:14:48off the street.
01:14:49Now,
01:14:50he doesn't even qualify
01:14:51to be a sorter.
01:14:53The AI recognition
01:14:54system upgrade
01:14:55looks good.
01:14:55Give the tech department
01:14:57a bonus.
01:14:58The struggles of a clown
01:14:59like this aren't even
01:15:00worth a second
01:15:01of my anger anymore.
01:15:02His misery is just
01:15:03background noise
01:15:04on my way to the top.
01:15:18In the old era
01:15:18of the food industry,
01:15:19the exploiters believed
01:15:20that as long as they
01:15:21controlled the capital,
01:15:22they could run over skill
01:15:23and destroy a chef's soul.
01:15:24But the rise of sea mist
01:15:25is here to tell everyone
01:15:26in this room,
01:15:27I am rewriting the rules.
01:15:28The exploiters will eventually
01:15:29be abandoned by the times,
01:15:30but the craftsmen
01:15:31who protect the soul,
01:15:32they will be crowned kings.
01:15:33I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:15:35I was declaring war
01:15:36on this cold-blooded
01:15:37world of capital.
01:15:38A year ago,
01:15:39they were Percy's guests
01:15:40of honor,
01:15:40laughing as I got
01:15:41thrown out on my ass.
01:15:42Today,
01:15:43with sea mist standards,
01:15:45I've put a shackle
01:15:45called conscience
01:15:46around every single
01:15:47one of their necks.
01:15:48Grayson,
01:15:49sea mist group valuation
01:15:50can no longer be measured
01:15:50by money.
01:15:51What is your next goal?
01:15:52My goal is to make sure
01:15:53there is no more soil
01:15:53in this world
01:15:54for a cancer like Percy to grow.
01:15:55I saw it
01:15:56in the eyes of those tycoons
01:15:57who once seemed untouchable,
01:15:59a fear they've never felt before.
01:16:01The underdog's rise
01:16:02isn't a myth.
01:16:03It's the judgment
01:16:04I wrote with my own hands.
01:16:08Grayson!
01:16:09I'm cooperating.
01:16:10I'll tell you everything.
01:16:11Three months ago,
01:16:11that maniac Percy
01:16:12bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:16:13He took high concentration
01:16:15harmful chemicals.
01:16:16Make it clear.
01:16:18He wants to destroy
01:16:19sea mist's air.
01:16:20He's planning to put
01:16:20harmful substances
01:16:21in that batch
01:16:21of special supply milk powder.
01:16:23I thought stripping him
01:16:24of his name
01:16:24and letting him rot
01:16:25in the gutter
01:16:25like a rat
01:16:26was my final act of mercy.
01:16:28But I underestimated
01:16:29how vicious a mad dog can be.
01:16:30He dared to reach
01:16:32his filthy hands
01:16:33towards my child.
01:16:34Leo,
01:16:35go take care of something.
01:16:36Please give your orders,
01:16:37Mr. Grayson.
01:16:38Mobilize the global legal team.
01:16:40Yes, sir.
01:16:40I want Percy to spend
01:16:41the rest of his life
01:16:42in the coldest,
01:16:43darkest prison cell
01:16:43they can find.
01:16:44Tell the warden,
01:16:45I don't want him dead.
01:16:46I want him to accidentally
01:16:47live to be 100
01:16:48every single day
01:16:48surrounded by sickness
01:16:49and the torture
01:16:50of those creditors.
01:16:51Watching the glory
01:16:52of my sea mist restaurant
01:16:53shine in the sunlight.
01:16:54Blinding him from behind
01:16:55those bars.
01:16:56Since he doesn't want
01:16:57to be human,
01:16:57I'll send him to real hell.
01:16:58I want him to live
01:16:59in endless regret
01:17:00of dying flame
01:17:01in the depths of hell.
01:17:06Defendant Percy,
01:17:07on multiple counts
01:17:07including food safety violations,
01:17:10attempted harm,
01:17:10malicious tempering,
01:17:11and massive fraud,
01:17:12you are hereby sentenced
01:17:13to life in prison
01:17:14without parole.
01:17:15No!
01:17:16I won't accept this!
01:17:18Grayson, you devil!
01:17:19You manipulated everything!
01:17:20A year ago,
01:17:21I begged him in the rain
01:17:22to leave mom and dad
01:17:23some money
01:17:23for their medical bees.
01:17:24He tore my dignity
01:17:25to shreds in public.
01:17:27And now he wants
01:17:27to talk about blood?
01:17:28The moment he reached
01:17:29for mom and dad's pension,
01:17:30the moment he reached
01:17:31for my baby's milk powder,
01:17:33he cut that vein
01:17:34with his own hands.
01:17:39Grayson,
01:17:39all that mess in Manhattan,
01:17:42it's finally over.
01:17:44We were blind back then.
01:17:46It was our fault.
01:17:48Mom,
01:17:49it's all in the past.
01:17:50I watched the relieved smiles
01:17:52on my parents' faces.
01:17:53Finally,
01:17:54they were free
01:17:55from that nightmare.
01:17:57Percy is counting lice
01:17:59in a cold prison cell.
01:18:01And my family?
01:18:03We're standing in the sunlight.
01:18:07He rewrote how this industry
01:18:08exploits people.
01:18:09He protected the soul
01:18:11of ingredients.
01:18:12Now let us welcome
01:18:12the world's top culinary leader,
01:18:14Grayson!
01:18:17Today,
01:18:18this trophy doesn't belong
01:18:19to me alone.
01:18:20It belongs to everyone.
01:18:22I'm not standing here
01:18:23to enjoy some empty fame.
01:18:24I'm here to issue
01:18:24the new CMIS decree.
01:18:26These people,
01:18:26they were once exploited
01:18:27by Percy at Iron Locker.
01:18:29I announced that CMIS Group
01:18:30will set up a $1 billion
01:18:31support fund.
01:18:32Every front-line employee
01:18:33who suffered exploitation,
01:18:34as long as you pass
01:18:35the assessment,
01:18:36CMIS will grant you
01:18:37the right to open
01:18:37a franchise-free move.
01:18:39This is what a real
01:18:40slap in the face looks like.
01:18:42I'm going to make
01:18:43Percy watch on TV.
01:18:44All those people
01:18:45who called homeless bums
01:18:46are becoming millionaires
01:18:47under my wing.
01:18:48And him?
01:18:49He can't even afford
01:18:50a roll of toilet paper.
01:18:54Grayson,
01:18:55two-thirds of the
01:18:55Michelin restaurants
01:18:56around the world
01:18:56have already applied
01:18:57to join the CMIS
01:18:58certification standard.
01:19:03Then let them
01:19:03wait in line.
01:19:04We make the rules.
01:19:08One year ago,
01:19:09I was at the other end
01:19:09of this city
01:19:10holding only $10,000
01:19:11the money I'd bled for.
01:19:12Now,
01:19:13this building beneath my feet,
01:19:14plus thousands of branches
01:19:15around the world,
01:19:16my net worth
01:19:17has exceeded $100 billion.
01:19:18And this Manhattan
01:19:19reeking of money,
01:19:20I used the most humble skills
01:19:21to level every injustice.
01:19:24What are you thinking about?
01:19:28I'm thinking
01:19:29that poor kid
01:19:30who rented that $500 dump
01:19:31had pretty good taste.
01:19:35That was the best
01:19:36investment in the world.
01:19:37The name Percy
01:19:38has been burned to ash
01:19:39from the family tree
01:19:39and erased
01:19:40from this city's history.
01:19:41From now on,
01:19:42no more iron anchor
01:19:43in Manhattan,
01:19:44only CMISD.
01:19:45Survival of the fittest
01:19:46was the old rule.
01:19:47My rule?
01:19:47Let the ones with soul
01:19:48rise to the top.
01:19:49I'm Gracie.
01:19:50The CMISD era
01:19:51never ends.
01:19:52The CMISD era
