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.
00:00:18I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from
00:00:24his.
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. How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place
00:00:39in 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.
00:01:08You'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. Making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that 6 million, and that 100,000 Percy gave me.
00:02:0590,000 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. The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna
00:02:21sushi.
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. Percy 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. A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello. I'd like to rent this restaurant for 10 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, and across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying, getting hyped for the
00:03:18mayor's big arrival.
00:03:19What Percy didn't realize, that a ward in three days, it was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:28My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:03:31Honey, what happened? Why are you so late?
00:03:34Percy asked me to clean the kitchen. I didn't have time to wash up.
00:03:39Mia looked uneasy. She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:03:44I saw the news. The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.
00:03:50The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money. Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:03:57Did he give you any of it?
00:03:58Sure. He gave me a hundred grand.
00:04:01Only a hundred grand? The news said the place cleared six million.
00:04:06That's not fair. You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.
00:04:11At least half of the credit is yours. How could he do this to you?
00:04:15Mia, calm down.
00:04:18Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds. Why are you still working for him?
00:04:24I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:04:28I support whatever decision you make.
00:04:35Here's twenty grand. Go all in, Grayson. The baby and I will be just fine.
00:04:42I won't let you down. I swear.
00:04:44The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.
00:04:48That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:04:51What if I let Mia down?
00:04:52The dirty, pitch black image of Seamist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.
00:04:57I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.
00:05:00I started doubting whether going solo was the right move or just a stupid decision made out of anger.
00:05:06I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years and sat down at the desk.
00:05:10It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.
00:05:13I've recorded including the mayor's.
00:05:15I once sat in a high-end restaurant and carefully watched how he ate.
00:05:19What he left on his plate.
00:05:21This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:05:25Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:05:29What did you say?
00:05:30Seamist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:05:35This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:05:40With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:05:42I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:05:45He'd always seen my potential.
00:05:46And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,
00:05:48he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.
00:05:50You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:05:53I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:05:55All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:05:59I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.
00:06:03If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,
00:06:06he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest supplier.
00:06:09Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance.
00:06:12Too bad.
00:06:12All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream
00:06:16that never gets more than five people.
00:06:18He didn't recognize him at all.
00:06:20Don't say I never give you a chance.
00:06:22The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:06:26My dear little brother,
00:06:28I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:06:31And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:06:34I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:06:40Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:06:42He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:06:45Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.
00:06:47And at an event like this,
00:06:48his little brother,
00:06:49the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,
00:06:52would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:06:55I'll be there on time.
00:06:58Here's ten bucks.
00:07:01Go park my car for me.
00:07:05Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.
00:07:10Percy was so sure of it that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:07:15But he overlooked me.
00:07:16A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:07:19Insignificant.
00:07:20Obedient.
00:07:20Beneath notice.
00:07:22When I got home,
00:07:23I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.
00:07:27I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:07:29No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.
00:07:33Can't you see?
00:07:35He stole the fruits of your hard work,
00:07:37and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:07:39Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:07:43If he tries to embarrass me,
00:07:44I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:07:50A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:07:53Fine.
00:07:55I'll go with you.
00:08:00Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:08:02He was waiting by the door for something.
00:08:04The moment he saw Mia and me show up,
00:08:06his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:08:09Look, there's my little brother.
00:08:13Let me introduce you all.
00:08:15This is my brother Grayson.
00:08:16He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor
00:08:20and thinks he's going to compete with me.
00:08:22Percy said it like a joke.
00:08:24All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:08:26Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:08:31A year ago,
00:08:33I went through hell to land the supplier
00:08:35with the highest food safety rating.
00:08:38Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:08:43And now that top-tier supplier belongs to me.
00:08:46The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:08:49Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:08:56This tuna smells really weird.
00:08:59I tried to warn them about quality control,
00:09:01but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:09:07Grayson, step aside.
00:09:10The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:09:16Grayson,
00:09:17you just stand aside and watch.
00:09:19Even for a line cook,
00:09:20you've still got a lot to learn.
00:09:22Percy didn't care about my skills.
00:09:25He asked me to come to the kitchen
00:09:27only to humiliate me
00:09:28with the new hire
00:09:30to prove I was good for nothing.
00:09:33But he had no idea
00:09:34how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.
00:09:37Without real knife skills,
00:09:38you can't handle it properly.
00:09:41Especially a piece of cheap,
00:09:42low-quality tuna like this.
00:09:45Percy,
00:09:47you're going to regret everything you've done today.
00:09:49I swear it.
00:09:50I'm just trying to make my little brother better.
00:09:53Otherwise,
00:09:53how is he going to support you
00:09:55and the baby in your belly?
00:09:56With that failing restaurant across the street?
00:10:02I'll learn from him.
00:10:04After today,
00:10:05one of us will be famous
00:10:06and the other
00:10:07will be a nobody.
00:10:11Grayson,
00:10:12I really feel sorry for you.
00:10:15That is right.
00:10:16After today,
00:10:17one of us
00:10:18is going to take over the world
00:10:20and the other
00:10:21is going to fade
00:10:22into obscurity.
00:10:23I watched very carefully.
00:10:25Joss thought I was actually learning
00:10:26and he even took the time
00:10:27to explain things to me.
00:10:29I smiled.
00:10:30With such lousy technique,
00:10:31that Blue Fied Tuna
00:10:32was going to end up
00:10:33as nothing but a pile
00:10:34of ruined meat in his hands.
00:10:36And
00:10:38He hates nothing more
00:10:40than being handed
00:10:40low quality.
00:10:42Butchered tuna
00:10:43like it is no big deal.
00:10:48You know what Percy
00:10:49nets a year?
00:10:50Six million dollars.
00:10:52You won't see that kind of money
00:10:54in ten lifetimes.
00:10:55You really should just
00:10:56stick with your brother.
00:10:58That way you can at least
00:10:58lap up some of the leftovers.
00:11:01Don't mind them, Grayson.
00:11:03What they said was harsh,
00:11:04but it's the truth.
00:11:09That's enough.
00:11:10You're all way out of line.
00:11:12The truth is
00:11:12he's better than
00:11:13every one of you.
00:11:15Grayson,
00:11:17control your wife.
00:11:18This isn't the place
00:11:18for a scene.
00:11:20Easy, Mia.
00:11:21I'm fine.
00:11:30Here's my card.
00:11:31You're all welcome
00:11:32to come check out
00:11:32my new restaurant
00:11:33across the street.
00:11:34Percy looked at me.
00:11:35In disbelief.
00:11:36He never expected that
00:11:37after being humiliated
00:11:38like that.
00:11:39I'd still be able
00:11:40to hand out
00:11:40my business card.
00:11:41Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:43No one took it.
00:11:46Grayson,
00:11:46are you seriously
00:11:47expecting these suppliers
00:11:48to visit your dump?
00:11:49Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:51I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:53I swear.
00:11:54One day they'll be
00:11:55begging to work with me.
00:12:02These are all Iron Anchor's
00:12:04signature dishes.
00:12:05Everyone,
00:12:06help yourselves.
00:12:09I could see right through it.
00:12:11The dishes looked
00:12:12exactly the same as before,
00:12:13but the ingredients
00:12:14had changed.
00:12:15Percy always cuts corners
00:12:17with cheap ingredients
00:12:18to save money,
00:12:18but he doesn't understand
00:12:20his customers.
00:12:20Every single one of them
00:12:22has a picky palate.
00:12:23Without my notebook
00:12:24that records
00:12:25every customer's preferences,
00:12:27he can never make
00:12:27the perfect dish.
00:12:30At the table,
00:12:31the guests could already tell
00:12:32something was off
00:12:33with the food,
00:12:34but because they were so eager
00:12:35to flatter Percy,
00:12:36they chose to ignore it.
00:12:37The mayor's personal inspection
00:12:39is the highest honor
00:12:40in the industry.
00:12:41Percy kept bragging
00:12:42about how successful
00:12:43his restaurant had become
00:12:44in just one year,
00:12:45how much money he'd made.
00:12:47Mia was so upset,
00:12:48she couldn't even eat.
00:12:49The anger in her eyes
00:12:51could have skinned Percy alive,
00:12:52but that wasn't enough
00:12:53for Percy.
00:12:54He brought me up again.
00:12:56Grayson,
00:12:57once Iron Anchor
00:12:58takes over the world,
00:12:59you can still come back.
00:13:02I mean,
00:13:03you don't have much skill,
00:13:04just good for a few
00:13:05simple little jobs,
00:13:06but you are my little brother
00:13:08after all.
00:13:09Percy,
00:13:10you're such a good man.
00:13:11Your brother has a death wish
00:13:13opening a restaurant
00:13:14right across from you,
00:13:15and you're still
00:13:16looking out for him.
00:13:18Of course.
00:13:19What does a line cook
00:13:20know about running
00:13:21a restaurant?
00:13:23Without Percy,
00:13:24he's nothing.
00:13:27I was furious.
00:13:29All anyone could see
00:13:29was Percy's winning globe.
00:13:31No one saw the one
00:13:32who'd done all the work
00:13:33behind the scenes.
00:13:34Percy was soaking up
00:13:35the praise,
00:13:36laughing in clinking glasses
00:13:38with those guests.
00:13:39And that was the moment
00:13:39he completely cut off
00:13:41the last bit of mercy
00:13:41I had left for him.
00:13:42The industry benchmark
00:13:43awarded by the mayor,
00:13:45can only be my
00:13:46sea-mist restaurant.
00:13:47I raised my glass,
00:13:48a calm smile on my face.
00:13:50You're alright.
00:13:51Everything I do
00:13:51I learn from Percy,
00:13:52my respected big brother.
00:13:56The mayor was arriving
00:13:58any minute.
00:13:58Percy told me
00:13:59to go to the kitchen
00:14:00and get ready
00:14:01to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:14:03Grayson,
00:14:04get your ass
00:14:04to the kitchen
00:14:05and help out.
00:14:06Even though you had
00:14:07the nerve to leave me,
00:14:08I still invited you
00:14:09to this important event.
00:14:10And the only reason
00:14:11is because you're
00:14:12my brother.
00:14:14Percy finished talking
00:14:15and went off
00:14:16to greet the mayor.
00:14:21I looked at the mayor.
00:14:23I knew my chance had come.
00:14:28Percy was in the dining room,
00:14:29chatting up the mayor
00:14:30like he was king
00:14:31of the world.
00:14:32He had no idea
00:14:33his restaurant
00:14:34was heading straight
00:14:35to hell.
00:14:36Joss walked up,
00:14:37carrying a covered platter.
00:14:39Meanwhile,
00:14:39the highest quality
00:14:41bluefin tuna
00:14:41was being delivered
00:14:43to C. Mist Restaurant,
00:14:45where the expensive
00:14:46head chef I hired
00:14:47was handling
00:14:47the premium tuna
00:14:48according to the methods
00:14:49written in my notebook.
00:14:51My dear fans,
00:14:52it's showtime!
00:14:53The mayor is here!
00:14:54Today I'll show the world
00:14:55true top-tier cooking.
00:14:57Some bottom-flealing trash
00:14:58running a cheap diner
00:14:59couldn't even dream
00:15:00of reaching this level.
00:15:06Mr. Mayor
00:15:06and everyone watching
00:15:08in the live stream,
00:15:09let me introduce you
00:15:10to my good-for-nothing
00:15:11little brother,
00:15:12Grayson.
00:15:12Never been smart.
00:15:14Only good for the dirty
00:15:15work in the back.
00:15:16He recently opened
00:15:17some dump called
00:15:18C-Mist right over there.
00:15:20If you ever feel
00:15:21like your stomach's
00:15:22too full
00:15:22and you need to throw up,
00:15:24feel free to go
00:15:25try his chemical waste.
00:15:29Percy,
00:15:29you're too soft.
00:15:31Having that guy
00:15:31across the street
00:15:32is polluting
00:15:33our whole neighborhood.
00:15:35Mr. Mayor,
00:15:36here's my card.
00:15:37I'm good at making
00:15:38otoyu sushi.
00:15:39Are you crazy?
00:15:41A little place
00:15:42that can't even fit
00:15:43two people in the bathroom
00:15:44and you think you can
00:15:45hand the mayor
00:15:45your business card?
00:15:46My restaurant is spotless
00:15:48and my ingredients
00:15:49are the best.
00:15:51I don't think
00:15:52square footage
00:15:53determines quality.
00:15:54Grayson,
00:15:55stop embarrassing
00:15:56yourself here.
00:16:00Young man,
00:16:01you have something
00:16:02those greedy
00:16:03businessmen don't.
00:16:04You're calm.
00:16:05I like that.
00:16:07The mayor sure
00:16:08has a sense of humor.
00:16:10He's just teaching
00:16:10the young generation
00:16:11to stay humble.
00:16:14Grayson,
00:16:15the only reason
00:16:15the mayor hasn't
00:16:16kicked you out
00:16:16is out of respect
00:16:17for me.
00:16:19Stop any of your
00:16:20pathetic delusions.
00:16:29please.
00:16:30Please, take a seat.
00:16:30Please, take a seat.
00:16:41Mr. Mayor,
00:16:42this is our signature dish,
00:16:44otoro sushi.
00:16:45I promise you'll love it.
00:16:49Iron Anchor's otoro sushi
00:16:50is one of a kind,
00:16:51Mr. Mayor.
00:16:52I guarantee you'll fall for it.
00:16:54The knife work,
00:16:54the technique,
00:16:55absolutely flawless.
00:16:58In the past,
00:16:59the otori sushi
00:17:00really was one of a kind.
00:17:03But this time,
00:17:04without top quality ingredients
00:17:06and skilled knife work,
00:17:07the only thing coming out
00:17:08of that kitchen
00:17:09is a one of a kind
00:17:10piece of garbage.
00:17:33Oh my god,
00:17:35what the hell
00:17:35is that garbage?
00:17:38At that same moment,
00:17:39the otoro sushi
00:17:40I prepared
00:17:41was being carefully
00:17:42packed up
00:17:42and was already
00:17:43on its way.
00:17:45We are about to serve
00:17:46the very first dish
00:17:48from Seamist Restaurant.
00:17:50Everyone,
00:17:51stay sharp.
00:17:53Yes!
00:18:07Percy's prized otoro sushi
00:18:09was unveiled.
00:18:10Before anyone could admire it,
00:18:11a wave of rotten stench
00:18:12hit the room.
00:18:13His smile vanished.
00:18:14Guests gagged.
00:18:15The mayor slammed his fork down
00:18:16on the table in fury.
00:18:17Percy!
00:18:18This is the signature dish
00:18:19you've been bragging about?
00:18:20Open your damn eyes!
00:18:21Is this meant for humans?
00:18:22I held Mia close
00:18:23and watched.
00:18:24Cold.
00:18:25Percy's face went pale.
00:18:26Cold sweat
00:18:27dripped from his temples
00:18:28down into his collar.
00:18:29But he wasn't done.
00:18:30He fell back
00:18:31on his pathetic sales pitch,
00:18:32desperate to cover up the rot.
00:18:34No.
00:18:34Mr. Mayor,
00:18:35let me explain.
00:18:36This is an oxidation reaction,
00:18:37an advanced aging process
00:18:39for premium tuna.
00:18:40Advanced aging.
00:18:41No,
00:18:42he just served the mayor cheap.
00:18:43Old meat to cut costs.
00:18:45The live stream
00:18:46was going wild.
00:18:47The whole city
00:18:48was watching him
00:18:49feed garbage
00:18:49to the mayor.
00:18:50Fine.
00:18:51You're so confident
00:18:52in this process?
00:18:53Then don't waste it.
00:18:54Bring it to him.
00:18:55Eat it, Percy.
00:18:56Every last piece.
00:18:57Right now.
00:18:58No!
00:18:58No!
00:18:59You're resisting so hard.
00:19:00Is it because you think
00:19:01it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:19:03No!
00:19:03Mr. Mayor,
00:19:04I'll prove to you
00:19:05there's nothing wrong with it.
00:19:05The security guard
00:19:06stepped forward.
00:19:07The cold,
00:19:08intimidating pressure
00:19:09left Percy
00:19:10with no way out.
00:19:11Under the gaze
00:19:12of the citywide live stream,
00:19:14he was forced to swallow
00:19:15that rotten meat
00:19:16like a pathetic stray dog.
00:19:18He skimped on ingredient costs
00:19:20and threw the money away.
00:19:21Now he had to chew up
00:19:22the consequences himself.
00:19:24The mayor's fury
00:19:25was just the beginning.
00:19:26The real ruin
00:19:27of the iron anchor
00:19:28was just getting started.
00:19:34This is the pride
00:19:35of Surla Streets?
00:19:36The face of our state's
00:19:37restaurant industry?
00:19:39Percy,
00:19:39you didn't just insult me.
00:19:41You insult the entire
00:19:42food safety laws
00:19:43of this city.
00:19:44Mr. Mayor,
00:19:44I swear on my life,
00:19:45the sushi is fine.
00:19:46I just drank too much
00:19:47last night.
00:19:48It's my stomach.
00:19:49It's upset.
00:19:49Percy's excuse
00:19:50sounded pathetic and hollow
00:19:51in front of the mayor
00:19:52and 500 live stream viewers.
00:19:54No one knew better than me.
00:19:55Eating rotten bluefin tuna
00:19:56would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:19:57Soon,
00:19:58Percy showed
00:19:59all the signs.
00:20:00The client who had signed
00:20:01next year's contract with him
00:20:02actually wanted to go help him.
00:20:06Damn it!
00:20:06You used rotten meat!
00:20:08That's why you're such a mess right now!
00:20:09Percy, you idiot!
00:20:10You just blew the entire war!
00:20:11No, no, no!
00:20:12It's not what you think!
00:20:13And just like that,
00:20:14Percy's noble image was gone,
00:20:16shattered in front of the live stream
00:20:18in the entire city.
00:20:19Enough!
00:20:20I want a full investigation
00:20:21of Iron Anchor
00:20:22right now!
00:20:23Percy wanted to stop it,
00:20:24but he couldn't move.
00:20:25Soon enough,
00:20:26the iron door
00:20:26to Iron Anchor's back storage
00:20:28was violently pushed open.
00:20:30A stench of formaldehyde
00:20:31mixed with rotting blood
00:20:32hit everyone in the face.
00:20:34Cardboard boxes
00:20:35piled up like knives,
00:20:36their outer layers
00:20:37covered in mold.
00:20:38The smell is absolutely disgusting!
00:20:40Just thinking about the food I ate
00:20:41makes me want to strangle Percy
00:20:42with my bare hand!
00:20:43Percy was dragged
00:20:44to the storage door
00:20:45like a filthy rag.
00:20:46The mayor pointed angrily
00:20:47at the inside of the back room.
00:20:49This is the best ingredient warehouse
00:20:50in all of New York?
00:20:51Percy, you better explain this!
00:20:52Now!
00:20:55Percy scrambles,
00:20:56saying it was all
00:20:57the supplier's fault
00:20:57that he was a victim too.
00:20:59Tears streamed down his face
00:21:00as he got all emotional.
00:21:01At first,
00:21:02some people actually believed him.
00:21:03After all,
00:21:04Iron Anchor's reputation
00:21:05had been perfect.
00:21:05That was until a contract
00:21:06signed with the shady supplier
00:21:08was pulled out of a drawer.
00:21:09A hundred dollars a play
00:21:10and you spent three cents
00:21:11on the meat?
00:21:12Dandy!
00:21:13That's what it was.
00:21:13The money went to the cars.
00:21:15The fancy front.
00:21:15But the food itself.
00:21:17He had zero respect for it.
00:21:18Mr. Mayor,
00:21:19let me explain.
00:21:20I was just trying to save money.
00:21:21I didn't know the supplier
00:21:22would give me bad meat.
00:21:23I'd give me bad meat!
00:21:24You didn't know?
00:21:25You're playing games
00:21:27with people's lives!
00:21:29Percy looked around
00:21:30in despair.
00:21:31Nothing but contempt.
00:21:32And the mayor's fury
00:21:33was even more terrifying
00:21:34than he'd imagined.
00:21:35If this is the best
00:21:35Surla Street has to offer,
00:21:36then I will shut down
00:21:37every single restaurant
00:21:38on this entire street!
00:21:39The whole place erupted.
00:21:40Every business owner's face
00:21:42dropped.
00:21:42If the whole street
00:21:43got shut down,
00:21:44they would lose
00:21:44countless future business deals.
00:21:45Percy, you animal!
00:21:46You want to serve trash?
00:21:48Fine!
00:21:48But don't drag the rest
00:21:49of us down with you!
00:21:50You disgusting little roach!
00:21:51Go to hell!
00:21:52That is human nature.
00:21:53When Percy was on top,
00:21:54they were his loyal supporters.
00:21:55The moment he fell,
00:21:56everyone wanted to kick him.
00:21:57While he was down,
00:21:58Mia looked worried.
00:21:59She was afraid my restaurant
00:22:00would get caught up in this too.
00:22:01I patted her hand.
00:22:02I'd just gotten my license.
00:22:03I was fully confident
00:22:04I could turn the tide
00:22:05on Surla Street.
00:22:05And if I timed it right,
00:22:06my chef should be here
00:22:07in a second.
00:22:12Percy panicked.
00:22:13Iron Anchor was facing closure.
00:22:15And me,
00:22:16his worthless little brother,
00:22:17bringing in a chef
00:22:18with the very same cut of fish.
00:22:19Grayson,
00:22:20what the hell
00:22:20do you think you're doing?
00:22:22Mr. Mayor,
00:22:23before you give up
00:22:24on this street,
00:22:25please give real
00:22:26Surla Street Cuisine
00:22:27one chance.
00:22:27Percy pulled himself up
00:22:28off the floor
00:22:29and stormed over to me,
00:22:30furious.
00:22:31That garbage
00:22:31from your $500 dump
00:22:33has no place
00:22:34in front of the mayor!
00:22:35I'm warning you.
00:22:37Throw that trash away!
00:22:38Mia was never one
00:22:39to just take it lying down.
00:22:40The second she heard that,
00:22:41she hauled off
00:22:42and slapped Percy
00:22:42right across the face.
00:22:43Wipe that disgusting
00:22:44superior look off your face,
00:22:46you arrogant jerk!
00:22:48Three minutes ago,
00:22:48you were serving
00:22:49the mayor garbage.
00:22:50Whatever my husband
00:22:51has in that box
00:22:52is worth more than you
00:22:52and your whole restaurant
00:22:53ever were!
00:22:54You dare put your hands
00:22:56on me,
00:22:56you shameless bitch!
00:22:58The mayor beat me to it.
00:22:59He had his security
00:23:00restrain Percy,
00:23:01then looked at the
00:23:02takeout box in my hand.
00:23:03I think I'd like to try
00:23:04something made by a man
00:23:06with some composure.
00:23:07See Miss Restaurant.
00:23:09Please enjoy.
00:23:37The viewer count
00:23:38instantly skyrocketed
00:23:39by 10,000.
00:23:41Tuna of this grade.
00:23:42My supplier swore
00:23:43I was his only client
00:23:43in Manhattan.
00:23:44Your so-called supply chain
00:23:45is just a transaction.
00:23:46What Grayson earned
00:23:47is the supplier's respect.
00:23:48He deserves to have
00:23:49the best ingredients
00:23:50way more than
00:23:51your iron anchor ever did.
00:23:52I watched the mayor's fingertips
00:23:54tremble.
00:23:55That is the instinctive reaction
00:23:56of a true gourmet
00:23:57in the presence of something
00:23:59transcendent.
00:24:00Percy always thought
00:24:01waving his checkbook around
00:24:02on livestream
00:24:03would let him control everything.
00:24:04But he never knew.
00:24:06Some ingredients can't be bought.
00:24:08They choose who deserves them.
00:24:11My God.
00:24:12The sweetness,
00:24:13the way this fat just
00:24:14dissolves,
00:24:15it's melting on your tongue.
00:24:17Grayson,
00:24:17I take back what I said earlier.
00:24:18This isn't just food.
00:24:19This is art.
00:24:21This year's industry
00:24:22benchmark restaurant
00:24:23is not this
00:24:24foul-smelling iron anchor.
00:24:27It goes to...
00:24:33Wait!
00:24:34C-Mist shouldn't even
00:24:35be in the running.
00:24:35Everyone knows
00:24:36that place is a dump
00:24:37full of grease and rats.
00:24:39It doesn't even meet
00:24:39basic health and safety standards.
00:24:41Percy looked at me
00:24:42with that smug expression
00:24:43like he'd finally
00:24:44cornered the clown.
00:24:45Too bad.
00:24:46This time,
00:24:47the joke was on him.
00:24:48Save the pity, Grayson.
00:24:49I know you tried
00:24:50really hard
00:24:51to steal first place
00:24:52from me.
00:24:53Too bad.
00:24:54Trying isn't enough.
00:24:55You'll never surpass me,
00:24:56little brother.
00:24:57Mr. Mayor,
00:24:59it would be my honor
00:25:00to lead the way
00:25:01and show everyone
00:25:02this garbage-dimp
00:25:04Grayson calls a restaurant.
00:25:06That place has been
00:25:07closed for ages.
00:25:08I heard the last owner
00:25:09was so bitter.
00:25:10He poured cooking oil
00:25:11all over the floors
00:25:12on his way out.
00:25:12You can't even walk in there.
00:25:14That's right.
00:25:15And he left all kinds
00:25:15of expired food
00:25:16in there, too.
00:25:17It's probably a full-blown
00:25:18rat kingdom by now.
00:25:19What right does a dump
00:25:20like that have
00:25:21to call itself
00:25:21a restaurant?
00:25:22What do we do?
00:25:24Mr. Mayor,
00:25:25and everyone here,
00:25:27as the owner
00:25:27of C-Mist Restaurant,
00:25:29I invite you all
00:25:29to come see it
00:25:30for yourselves.
00:25:31You idiot.
00:25:33Get ready to watch
00:25:33your precious restaurant
00:25:34get shut down.
00:25:36My dear fans,
00:25:37I'm about to show you
00:25:39the most chaotic,
00:25:40filthiest garbage dump
00:25:42on Surla Street.
00:25:43You cannot imagine
00:25:45how absolutely
00:25:46disgusting that place is.
00:25:50Percy, lying has consequences.
00:25:53It's totally fake.
00:25:54I guarantee you,
00:25:55behind this door,
00:25:55it's nothing but trash and stink.
00:25:57Dave, just wait and see.
00:25:59Percy's smug smile
00:26:00kept growing,
00:26:01but all of that
00:26:01was about to come
00:26:02to a screeching halt
00:26:03the second I opened
00:26:04that door.
00:26:10This is impossible.
00:26:11Oh my God!
00:26:13In just a few days,
00:26:14that dump
00:26:15has completely changed.
00:26:16It's so clean and tidy.
00:26:18Way more pleasant
00:26:19to look at
00:26:20than Iron Anchor's
00:26:21tacky, flashy decorations.
00:26:27Grayson, your taste
00:26:29is just as impressive
00:26:30as your food.
00:26:37Man, this place
00:26:39is cleaner than
00:26:39an operating room.
00:26:40I worked around the clock,
00:26:42kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:26:43scrubbing every single crack
00:26:45with a brush.
00:26:46Percy spent his money
00:26:46on those gaudy chandeliers
00:26:48that blind you.
00:26:49I spent mine
00:26:49on every little detail
00:26:50you can touch.
00:26:51This is all just for show!
00:26:53You can fake the decor,
00:26:54but you can't fake
00:26:55the ingredients!
00:26:58Grayson, you're broke.
00:26:59Your monthly rent
00:27:00is 500 bucks.
00:27:01How can you afford
00:27:03top-grade blue-fit tuna?
00:27:04I bet that piece
00:27:05he just fed you
00:27:06was the only decent
00:27:07one he's got.
00:27:08His freezer must be packed
00:27:09with cheap frozen garbage.
00:27:11Trash will always be trash!
00:27:14You want to see?
00:27:16I'll show you.
00:27:22So many.
00:27:23Tuna of this quality,
00:27:25only three restaurants
00:27:25in all of New York
00:27:26can get their hands on these.
00:27:31Percy, take a good look.
00:27:32This is what you call garbage.
00:27:34No!
00:27:35You must have injected poison
00:27:36into these rotten fish,
00:27:37sprayed them with chemicals!
00:27:38Who the hell
00:27:39is insulting my fish?
00:27:45You are...
00:27:45I worked with Iron Anchor
00:27:47for a whole year.
00:27:48Not once did you bother
00:27:49to remember my name.
00:27:50Percy,
00:27:51you're an absolute idiot.
00:27:54You're Iron Anchor's
00:27:55biggest supplier
00:27:56from this past year.
00:27:57You traitor!
00:27:58You're the traitor!
00:27:59And premium ingredients
00:28:01should go to people
00:28:02who actually appreciate them!
00:28:04Mr. Mayor,
00:28:05I'm the largest
00:28:06seafood distributor
00:28:07in California.
00:28:07I hereby certify
00:28:09that all ingredients
00:28:10used by Seamist Restaurant
00:28:11are exclusively supplied
00:28:13through my special channel
00:28:14with the highest
00:28:15A-level safety rating.
00:28:16Mr. Grayson
00:28:17is the most knowledgeable
00:28:18person about ingredients
00:28:20I've ever met.
00:28:21That's why I ended
00:28:22all my contracts
00:28:23with Iron Anchor for him.
00:28:25Are you insane?
00:28:26I give you millions
00:28:27of dollars a year!
00:28:28What about him?
00:28:29All he got was
00:28:30the lousy hundred grand
00:28:31I threw at him!
00:28:32After lashing out
00:28:33at the supplier,
00:28:34Percy turned his rage
00:28:35back on me.
00:28:36Grayson!
00:28:37You ungrateful snake!
00:28:39You took the hundred grand
00:28:40I gave you
00:28:41and used it to steal
00:28:42my supplier
00:28:43and become my enemy?
00:28:44Don't you have
00:28:45any family loyalty
00:28:46at all?
00:28:46Percy.
00:28:49Percy,
00:28:50out of that hundred grand,
00:28:52ninety thousand
00:28:52was purchasing money
00:28:53I fronted for you.
00:28:57The remaining ten thousand
00:28:58was what you paid me
00:29:00for three years
00:29:01of working my ass off
00:29:03day and night.
00:29:04You thought you could
00:29:05buy my dignity.
00:29:05I'm taking it back
00:29:07with my own hands.
00:29:08We're even.
00:29:09And don't forget,
00:29:10this supplier was mine
00:29:11from the very beginning.
00:29:13Percy's eyes
00:29:13went unfocused.
00:29:15It looked like
00:29:15he was finally remembering
00:29:16how hard I worked
00:29:17a year ago,
00:29:18visiting supplier
00:29:19after supplier,
00:29:20screening through
00:29:21thousands of them
00:29:22to find this one.
00:29:23Percy wanted
00:29:23to keep arguing,
00:29:24but fate wasn't
00:29:25going to give him
00:29:26any more chances.
00:29:28Mr. Mayor,
00:29:29it's not just
00:29:29the ingredients.
00:29:30The entire interior
00:29:31of Iron Anchor
00:29:31is built with
00:29:32the cheapest,
00:29:32most flammable
00:29:33formalhyde-laden boards
00:29:34just painted over
00:29:34with a layer of gold.
00:29:35Iron Anchor
00:29:36is basically
00:29:36a poison gas chamber
00:29:37that would explode
00:29:38the second it touches fire.
00:29:42That's disgusting.
00:29:44All for show.
00:29:45Percy,
00:29:46get out of
00:29:46the restaurant industry.
00:29:49Mr. Mayor,
00:29:50I was wrong.
00:29:51I just wanted
00:29:52the restaurant
00:29:52to look better.
00:29:53You risked
00:29:54people's lives
00:29:55just to look good?
00:29:56Percy's tears
00:29:57rolled down
00:29:58his fake,
00:29:59lying face.
00:30:00He used to throw
00:30:00money in front of me
00:30:01and call me
00:30:02a country bumpin'
00:30:03who'd never seen
00:30:04the world.
00:30:04And now,
00:30:05that live-streaming
00:30:06empire he'd so
00:30:07carefully built
00:30:08was collapsing
00:30:09inch by inch
00:30:10in front of
00:30:10a global audience.
00:30:11I hereby declare
00:30:13Sea Mist Restaurant
00:30:15the industry
00:30:16benchmark restaurant
00:30:17for this year.
00:30:19Effective immediately,
00:30:20Iron Anchor's
00:30:21business license
00:30:22is permanently
00:30:23revoked.
00:30:24All assets
00:30:25are to be seized.
00:30:27Percy is under
00:30:27official investigation
00:30:28for food safety
00:30:30crimes
00:30:30and commercial
00:30:31fraud.
00:30:33Now,
00:30:33throw this
00:30:34cockroach
00:30:35out of here.
00:30:43Grayson!
00:30:44Save me!
00:30:45You're my own
00:30:46little brother.
00:30:47Your restaurant
00:30:47is right across
00:30:48the street.
00:30:48You can fix this.
00:30:49You have to.
00:30:50I gave him a year,
00:30:51a whole year.
00:30:53But all he ever
00:30:54learned was how
00:30:54to put on a show
00:30:55for his live screen.
00:30:56Grayson!
00:30:59Grayson,
00:30:59I'm begging you!
00:31:00You're tight with
00:31:00the mayor!
00:31:01Please put in
00:31:01a good word for me!
00:31:02You can't let them
00:31:03close my place!
00:31:04That's everything
00:31:04I've got!
00:31:05Everything you've got,
00:31:06Percy?
00:31:07You call rotten meat
00:31:08and fake gold
00:31:09paint everything
00:31:09you've got?
00:31:10Just don't shut
00:31:10me down!
00:31:11I'll do anything
00:31:12you want!
00:31:12I'll give you
00:31:13all the shares!
00:31:14You come back
00:31:14and be the boss!
00:31:15I'll work for you!
00:31:16I'll be your line cook!
00:31:18Percy,
00:31:18do you remember
00:31:18how you humiliated
00:31:19Grayson?
00:31:20You said he was
00:31:21only worth
00:31:212,000 bucks.
00:31:22You said a homeless
00:31:23guy off the street
00:31:24could replace him.
00:31:25A year ago,
00:31:26I begged him
00:31:27in the pouring rain
00:31:28just like this
00:31:29to pay the supplier
00:31:30what he owed.
00:31:31He rolled down
00:31:32his car window,
00:31:33blew smoke in my face
00:31:34and told me
00:31:35I didn't understand
00:31:36business.
00:31:37Percy,
00:31:37your biggest mistake
00:31:38wasn't greed.
00:31:39It was that you
00:31:40never learned
00:31:41to respect food.
00:31:42Someone who can
00:31:42make the finest fish
00:31:43smell like death
00:31:44has no place
00:31:45in a kitchen.
00:31:47You're really
00:31:47going to just
00:31:48let me die?
00:31:48For old times' sake,
00:31:50since you want
00:31:50to be a line cook
00:31:51so bad,
00:31:52C-Miss just happens
00:31:53to be looking
00:31:54for someone
00:31:54to clean the bathrooms.
00:31:552,000 a month.
00:31:56And the only reason
00:31:57I'm even offering
00:31:58it to you
00:31:58is out of respect
00:31:59for you being
00:31:59my big brother.
00:32:04Mr. Grayson,
00:32:05I'm officially
00:32:06transferring my
00:32:06$5 million
00:32:07annual banquet
00:32:08booking to
00:32:08C-Miss Restaurant.
00:32:09Name your price!
00:32:10Just make sure
00:32:10that Oto Sushi
00:32:11shows up at my event.
00:32:12Grayson,
00:32:13this is a long-term
00:32:13letter of intent
00:32:14from the Manhattan
00:32:15Restaurant Association.
00:32:16We're willing
00:32:16to pay a 50% premium
00:32:17as long as C-Miss agrees
00:32:19to be our partner.
00:32:20Three hours ago,
00:32:20these same people
00:32:21watched Percy humiliate
00:32:22me in front of everyone.
00:32:23They laughed at me,
00:32:24a lowly line cook
00:32:24who didn't know his place.
00:32:25Now, they're willing
00:32:26to pay double
00:32:27just to beg me
00:32:27for a partnership.
00:32:28C-Miss will only sign
00:32:29with one partner
00:32:30in the next year.
00:32:31That spot,
00:32:33you'll have to fight
00:32:33for it yourselves.
00:32:34I have the strongest capital,
00:32:36that spot belongs to me!
00:32:38What can you offer
00:32:38besides money?
00:32:39I can provide
00:32:40the biggest advertising
00:32:41and sales channels!
00:32:42Get lost!
00:32:43This opportunity is mine!
00:32:48With the mayor's endorsement
00:32:49and the title
00:32:50of Industry Betchmark Restaurant,
00:32:52C-Miss was splattered
00:32:53all over countless posters.
00:32:56Customers poured
00:32:57into C-Miss non-stop.
00:32:59Mia and I opened
00:33:00three more locations together.
00:33:02I never held back.
00:33:03I shared everything I knew.
00:33:05C-Miss will always stand
00:33:06for healthy,
00:33:07delicious food.
00:33:15All those prepayments
00:33:16that should have gone
00:33:17into Iron Anchor's account,
00:33:19they were now flooding
00:33:20into mine instead.
00:33:22Oh my God,
00:33:22I can't believe my eyes.
00:33:24Grayson,
00:33:25in less than half an hour,
00:33:27the prepayments
00:33:27have already topped
00:33:28three million!
00:33:29We made it!
00:33:30Grayson,
00:33:31you deserve this.
00:33:32The restaurant industry
00:33:33doesn't need some performer
00:33:34who only knows how to lie.
00:33:36It needs craftsmen like you,
00:33:38people with soul
00:33:39when it comes to food.
00:33:41This is the contract
00:33:42for government catering
00:33:44for the next year.
00:33:50Pleasure doing business with you.
00:33:52At that moment,
00:33:53Percy,
00:33:54his face caked with mud,
00:33:56pressed himself
00:33:56against the window
00:33:57like a ghost,
00:33:58watching me sign contract
00:34:00after contract,
00:34:01signing away millions
00:34:02of dollars.
00:34:03Furious,
00:34:03he tried to get in,
00:34:05but the security guard
00:34:06at the door
00:34:06shoved him back,
00:34:07sending him tumbling
00:34:08down the steps.
00:34:09Get out of my way!
00:34:11That bastard Grayson
00:34:12took everything from me!
00:34:13This was supposed to be mine!
00:34:15Move along!
00:34:16This is no place
00:34:17for a homeless guy!
00:34:18He was out there watching.
00:34:20I was in here sitting.
00:34:23That single pane of glass
00:34:24was the line
00:34:25between heaven and hell.
00:34:27He used to say
00:34:27that without him,
00:34:28I'd be begging for food
00:34:30in Chinatown.
00:34:30Now,
00:34:31he can't even get past
00:34:33the door of my restaurant.
00:34:35Grayson!
00:34:36You traitor!
00:34:41Percy was curled up
00:34:43next to a stinking dumpster.
00:34:44His thousand dollar tuxedo
00:34:46was caked with grime.
00:34:48He was too afraid
00:34:49to go home,
00:34:50because all the partners
00:34:51he'd arrogantly signed with
00:34:53before were now turning on him
00:34:54after Iron Anchor
00:34:55got shut down.
00:34:56What awaited him
00:34:57was massive penalty fees,
00:34:59and the fury
00:35:00of every single one
00:35:01of those partners.
00:35:07Hello?
00:35:08Boss,
00:35:09just give me a little more time.
00:35:10Time?
00:35:11Percy,
00:35:12your old frozen meat
00:35:13got my license revoked.
00:35:15According to the contract,
00:35:16you owe me triple the penalty.
00:35:17That's two million dollars.
00:35:19If I don't see that money
00:35:20by tomorrow morning,
00:35:21you can go feed the fish
00:35:22in the Hudson River.
00:35:28Percy,
00:35:29this is James
00:35:30from Seafood Logistics.
00:35:31That industry benchmark prize
00:35:32you promised
00:35:33was total bullshit.
00:35:34I want my shipping fees
00:35:35and the 500,000 penalty.
00:35:36Transfer it now.
00:35:37Otherwise,
00:35:38I'm sending your address
00:35:39to every creditor in Manhattan.
00:35:41Percy pinned all his remaining hope
00:35:43on live streaming.
00:35:44He begged his viewers
00:35:45to send him money
00:35:46to save Iron Anchor.
00:35:48He made a complete fool
00:35:49of himself
00:35:49like a stray dog
00:35:51losing every shred of dignity.
00:35:52He did pathetic stunts.
00:35:54He even fought
00:35:54homeless people for food.
00:35:56You felled us garbage
00:35:57for so long.
00:35:57What right does an animal
00:35:58like you have
00:35:59to ask for our forgiveness?
00:36:00Report him.
00:36:01Make him disappear for good.
00:36:03No, no, no.
00:36:04If I hadn't skimped
00:36:05on that 90,000,
00:36:06if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:36:08that six million
00:36:09would have been mine.
00:36:09The mayor's praise
00:36:10would have been mine too.
00:36:11He finally understood.
00:36:13Losing me
00:36:14wasn't just losing a line cook.
00:36:15It was losing his only brain
00:36:17and his last chance
00:36:18to be a decent human being.
00:36:20The live stream ban
00:36:21was the final straw
00:36:22that broke Percy.
00:36:23He looked at Sea Mist Restaurant
00:36:25glowing with lights
00:36:26and finally broke down sobbing.
00:36:29I was wrong.
00:36:32Grayson, I was really wrong.
00:36:38Time to pay up.
00:36:43Grayson, I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:36:43Here, my love.
00:36:46No, no.
00:36:48Grayson, help me.
00:36:49Help me.
00:36:53I took Mia out for a nice meal
00:36:55because we were so poor last year.
00:36:57I couldn't even feed
00:36:59my pregnant wife
00:36:59decent food
00:37:00more than a few times.
00:37:03Mia, thank you
00:37:03for everything
00:37:06these past three years.
00:37:08Grayson, I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:37:10A month ago,
00:37:11we were stressing
00:37:11over $500 in rent.
00:37:14Dreams end,
00:37:15but these numbers don't lie.
00:37:17Three days ago,
00:37:17I sat here
00:37:18watching Percy
00:37:19throw money around
00:37:19like it was nothing.
00:37:20Now,
00:37:21Sea Mist's weekly revenue alone
00:37:23equals his entire net profit
00:37:24from last year.
00:37:25Ones, tens,
00:37:26hundreds, thousands,
00:37:27tens of thousands.
00:37:28Grayson,
00:37:28the prepayments
00:37:29and net profit,
00:37:30it's over six million?
00:37:31That's just the first week.
00:37:32With the mayor's endorsement,
00:37:34every big name in New York,
00:37:35politicians
00:37:36and socialettes alike
00:37:37is lining up.
00:37:38We're already booked
00:37:39through Christmas next year.
00:37:40We're rich.
00:37:41We can give our child
00:37:43the best education.
00:37:44We never have to live
00:37:45under Percy's thumb again.
00:37:46I looked at Mia's excited face.
00:37:48It warmed my heart.
00:37:50To the future.
00:37:52Cheers.
00:37:54And Percy?
00:37:55At that very moment,
00:37:57he was huddled
00:37:57next to a dumpster,
00:37:59gnawling on someone
00:37:59else's disparted bread.
00:38:04I moved Mia
00:38:05out of that tiny
00:38:06rental apartment
00:38:06and bought the best
00:38:07estate in the city.
00:38:09Mr. Grayson,
00:38:09this is the most private
00:38:10estate in the entire city.
00:38:11It comes with its own
00:38:12helipad and a top
00:38:13of the security system.
00:38:14Do you like it?
00:38:16The sunlight here
00:38:16is beautiful.
00:38:17Perfect for our kid
00:38:18to run around
00:38:18on the grass someday.
00:38:19I never imagined
00:38:20I'd live in a place
00:38:21like this someday.
00:38:22Grayson,
00:38:23this is too expensive.
00:38:24Mia,
00:38:24you deserve the best.
00:38:25Just sign it.
00:38:26This will be our
00:38:27family's safe haven.
00:38:28Now,
00:38:29I bought the estate
00:38:30that Percy
00:38:31never even dared
00:38:32to dream
00:38:32of stepping foot in.
00:38:33And him?
00:38:34He's hiding
00:38:35in some dark corner,
00:38:36running from the creditors.
00:38:38The soft opening
00:38:39of CMIST branch
00:38:40was a huge success.
00:38:41We can officially
00:38:41launch the expansion plan now.
00:38:43Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:38:44The top ten
00:38:45commercial districts
00:38:46are all fighting
00:38:46for us to set up there.
00:38:47The contracts are ready.
00:38:49Tell them this.
00:38:49CMIST has only one standard.
00:38:51The finest ingredients,
00:38:52absolute transparency.
00:38:54Percy failed
00:38:55because he looked
00:38:55at his customers
00:38:56and saw cash cows.
00:38:57I succeeded
00:38:58because I treat food
00:38:59like a religion.
00:39:00Expanding the business
00:39:01isn't about hoarding money.
00:39:03It's about letting
00:39:04more people around the world
00:39:05enjoy this food.
00:39:06Grayson,
00:39:07we're really starting
00:39:08a new life.
00:39:11The first stop
00:39:12for our expansion?
00:39:14That port Percy
00:39:15always wanted
00:39:15to take over
00:39:16for himself.
00:39:29Goodbye, Grayson.
00:39:31You made it.
00:39:32You goddamn
00:39:33piece of trash.
00:39:34You actually sold
00:39:35banned meat?
00:39:36Are you even human?
00:39:37Dad,
00:39:39I was just trying
00:39:39to make money.
00:39:40Who knew that
00:39:41ungrateful snake,
00:39:42Grayson,
00:39:42would turn on me?
00:39:43Turn on you?
00:39:44If it weren't for him,
00:39:45we'd all be in prison
00:39:46right now
00:39:47because of you.
00:39:48We have no place
00:39:49for a beast like you.
00:39:51I was tasting
00:39:51the finest wine
00:39:52in my estate.
00:39:53Percy was in that old house,
00:39:54taking the beating
00:39:55my parents should have
00:39:56given him long ago.
00:39:57He used to think
00:39:58he was the pride
00:39:58of the family.
00:39:59In truth,
00:40:00he was just a cowardly,
00:40:01rotten parasite.
00:40:02You're a monster!
00:40:03Get out!
00:40:04Stop hitting me!
00:40:05Grayson is loaded.
00:40:06He's got tens of millions now.
00:40:08Make him help me!
00:40:11You still have the nerve
00:40:12to mention him?
00:40:13When you paid him
00:40:142,000 bucks,
00:40:15did you ever stop
00:40:16to think he was
00:40:17your little brother?
00:40:18Get out!
00:40:19Go be a lying cook
00:40:20out on the streets!
00:40:28His nightmare
00:40:29had only just begun.
00:40:41What happened at Iron Anchor
00:40:42was a misunderstanding.
00:40:44I already switched suppliers.
00:40:46Just lift the band,
00:40:47please.
00:40:48Give me one more day.
00:40:50Mr. Percy,
00:40:51your restaurant
00:40:52is on the national
00:40:53blacklist now.
00:40:54Old frozen meat
00:40:55and formalide-laden decor?
00:40:57Those search terms
00:40:58are number one on Google.
00:40:59Stop wasting our time.
00:41:00Get out and don't bring
00:41:01that stench
00:41:02into our office.
00:41:03Reputation takes
00:41:04a year to build
00:41:05and one plate
00:41:06of rotten
00:41:06Otoro sushi
00:41:07to destroy.
00:41:31The love he was so proud of?
00:41:35It ran faster than anyone
00:41:37the moment Iron Anchor
00:41:38got shut down.
00:41:40That's my car!
00:41:42That's my money!
00:41:49watching Percy fall apart
00:41:51like this.
00:41:52I couldn't help
00:41:53but feel grateful
00:41:53that the woman
00:41:54by my side
00:41:55is Mia.
00:41:58With nowhere
00:41:59left to go,
00:42:00Percy stole mom
00:42:01and dad's retirement savings
00:42:03and borrowed
00:42:03a huge junk of money
00:42:04from the neighbors.
00:42:05My parents called me
00:42:07to handle it.
00:42:07I bought the most
00:42:08expensive estate
00:42:09in Manhattan,
00:42:10a place with a garden
00:42:11bigger than Percy's
00:42:12entire restaurant.
00:42:14I brought Mia back here
00:42:15to show my parents
00:42:16that their younger son,
00:42:17the one they called
00:42:18just a line cook,
00:42:19was the true pride
00:42:20of the family.
00:42:24Mom,
00:42:25just $20,000.
00:42:27Give it to me
00:42:28and I'll pay you back
00:42:28ten times
00:42:29when I'm back on top.
00:42:30You animal!
00:42:31You stole the money
00:42:32mom needs
00:42:32for her heart surgery
00:42:33and you scamp
00:42:34the neighbors.
00:42:34We can't even show
00:42:35our faces outside anymore.
00:42:36Are you going to
00:42:37drive us crazy?
00:42:38Grayson,
00:42:38you ungrateful snake.
00:42:40You live in a mansion
00:42:41where suits
00:42:41worth tens of thousands
00:42:42and you just watch
00:42:43your own brother die?
00:42:44Dad, Mom,
00:42:45here are the keys
00:42:46to your new house,
00:42:47a villa I bought for you
00:42:48on the Upper East Side.
00:42:49It comes with the best
00:42:50in-home doctors.
00:42:51Percy,
00:42:52don't you dare use
00:42:53the word family
00:42:53to disgust me.
00:42:54The moment you stole
00:42:55their retirement money,
00:42:56you should have realized
00:42:57you're already out
00:42:58of this family.
00:43:02Money!
00:43:03That's mine!
00:43:05You owe me!
00:43:06This money is for
00:43:07the neighbors.
00:43:08As for you, Percy,
00:43:09you don't deserve
00:43:10to touch a single cent.
00:43:11I was wearing clothes
00:43:12he could never afford
00:43:13in his lifetime.
00:43:14I was standing at a height
00:43:15he would never reach.
00:43:16And he was down on the ground
00:43:18like a dog,
00:43:18finally realizing
00:43:19he had lost.
00:43:27Good morning,
00:43:28Mr. Grayson.
00:43:29Thank you for the jobs
00:43:30you've provided.
00:43:31Mr. Grayson,
00:43:33Seamist Restaurant
00:43:33is truly the pride
00:43:34of this entire street.
00:43:37A month ago,
00:43:38when I walked down
00:43:38this street,
00:43:39everyone looked at me
00:43:39like I was a joke.
00:43:40Now,
00:43:41I own half the storefronts
00:43:42on this block,
00:43:43and the looks people give me
00:43:44have gone from contempt
00:43:45to respect.
00:43:47Suddenly,
00:43:48from the end of the street,
00:43:48a sharp scream
00:43:49cut through the air,
00:43:50followed by a sickening crunch.
00:43:53Two million in penalties.
00:43:54You promised to pay today.
00:43:56Where's the money?
00:44:01He's got money.
00:44:02That's my own brother.
00:44:03Go ask him.
00:44:04He could sneeze
00:44:04and have enough
00:44:05to pay you all off.
00:44:06A piece of trash like you
00:44:08dares to call him your brother?
00:44:09He just issued a statement
00:44:10in the paper.
00:44:10He's cutting all ties with you.
00:44:12No money, huh?
00:44:12Then we do it the old way.
00:44:14Let's start with two fingers.
00:44:21I took Mia's hand
00:44:22and stepped through
00:44:23the magnificent doors
00:44:24of Seamist Restaurant.
00:44:25Behind me,
00:44:26Percy's screams for help
00:44:27echoed as the debtkeepers
00:44:28dragged him into the shadows.
00:44:29Police!
00:44:31Go tell those guys
00:44:32don't let any blood
00:44:33get spilled
00:44:34in front of my restaurant
00:44:35and make it quick.
00:44:36Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:44:50From today on,
00:44:51Seamist is no longer
00:44:52just a restaurant.
00:44:53We're going to build
00:44:54the most legitimate
00:44:55food supply chain
00:44:56in this city.
00:44:57And the people on Surlate,
00:44:58if they're clean,
00:44:59no tricks,
00:45:00no dirt,
00:45:01I'll double their pay.
00:45:02Yes, Grayson.
00:45:04Grayson,
00:45:04congratulations on
00:45:05the new company.
00:45:06I left that loser,
00:45:07Percy,
00:45:08because I could see
00:45:08you were the real deal.
00:45:09The one who actually
00:45:10gets things done.
00:45:11Grayson,
00:45:12does Seamist
00:45:13need a PR director?
00:45:15Or maybe
00:45:15a personal assistant?
00:45:17I know everything you like,
00:45:18just like I knew
00:45:19everything about Percy.
00:45:20Lisa, you sure knew Percy.
00:45:22You knew exactly
00:45:23how to kick him
00:45:23when he was down.
00:45:24And you know exactly
00:45:25how to crawl back
00:45:26like a parasite
00:45:27the second you smell money.
00:45:28Miss Lisa,
00:45:29Seamist doesn't need
00:45:30an assistant,
00:45:30but we are looking
00:45:31for a cleaner
00:45:31to take out the trash.
00:45:33But take a look
00:45:33at your clothes.
00:45:34I doubt you could
00:45:34even hold a rag, Stady.
00:45:36Get this piece of cheap,
00:45:37perfumed garbage
00:45:38out of here.
00:45:39From today on,
00:45:40if she shows up
00:45:40within a kilometer
00:45:41of Seamist,
00:45:42call the cops immediately.
00:45:44Grayson!
00:45:45Don't get cocky!
00:45:46You were just
00:45:47a line cook too!
00:45:50I watched her
00:45:51pathetic retreat.
00:45:53In the eyes
00:45:53of opportunists like her,
00:45:55every spot next to me
00:45:56has a price tag.
00:45:57But they don't know.
00:45:59Mia lived with me
00:46:00in that leaky
00:46:00rental apartment.
00:46:02I know for certain,
00:46:03she is the one
00:46:04and only love my life.
00:46:05Why do you keep
00:46:06staring at me?
00:46:10Mia,
00:46:13I think I owe you
00:46:14a grand wedding.
00:46:28Mr. Grayson,
00:46:29do you take Mia
00:46:30to be your wife
00:46:31to cherish her
00:46:32in both poverty
00:46:33and wealth?
00:46:34I do.
00:46:37Today,
00:46:38all those wealthy
00:46:39socialettes
00:46:40who used to mock us
00:46:41as the poor couple
00:46:42are sitting right there
00:46:43in the audience,
00:46:44applauding us
00:46:45with the most
00:46:46flattering cheers.
00:46:48This is the coronation
00:46:49I promised my wife.
00:46:57Grayson,
00:46:57save me!
00:46:58The Debt Kalua
00:46:58has broke my fingers.
00:46:59I'm in the alley
00:47:00right outside the church.
00:47:01Please,
00:47:01just give me
00:47:02$50,000 one last time.
00:47:06Is it him?
00:47:15Someone who doesn't matter.
00:47:17He doesn't get
00:47:17to disturb our wedding.
00:47:19I'm not going to
00:47:20pile on someone
00:47:20already down.
00:47:22Not out of mercy.
00:47:23He's just not worth
00:47:24my time.
00:47:25But I'm not a pushover either.
00:47:27Kindness needs teeth,
00:47:29or it means nothing.
00:47:39That was mine.
00:47:40That should have been mine.
00:47:42That $6 million,
00:47:43the fame,
00:47:44the woman,
00:47:45all of it was mine.
00:47:47I bought the most
00:47:48expensive billboard
00:47:49in Times Square
00:47:49and played my wedding
00:47:51video on loop.
00:47:52Percy watched the screen
00:47:53in fury.
00:47:55your big shot brother
00:47:55already said he's
00:47:56stripping you of his last name.
00:47:58You don't even have
00:47:58a surname anymore now.
00:47:59He's got money.
00:48:00He's got billions.
00:48:01Go kill him.
00:48:02Kill him,
00:48:03and all that money
00:48:03becomes mine.
00:48:05Kill him?
00:48:05Grayson is the mayor's
00:48:06right-hand gun now.
00:48:08He's got thousands
00:48:09of bodyguards.
00:48:10But you,
00:48:11your eyeballs
00:48:11are worth something.
00:48:12How about we take them
00:48:13as interest first?
00:48:17Grayson,
00:48:18you think you've won?
00:48:19Your woman's about
00:48:20to give birth, right?
00:48:21You're going to regret this.
00:48:23I'm going to destroy
00:48:24your happiness.
00:48:25Completely.
00:48:26I thought he would just
00:48:27wither away in his despair.
00:48:29I underestimated
00:48:30how deeply greed
00:48:31and jealousy
00:48:32can twist
00:48:33with a person's soul.
00:48:34A vicious plan
00:48:36was closing in on me.
00:48:46Grayson!
00:48:47You live in a mansion
00:48:48worth thousands
00:48:49of square feet,
00:48:50and you're going to let me
00:48:51freeze to death out here?
00:48:53Grayson,
00:48:53you know,
00:48:54he is your own brother.
00:48:55Can't you give him
00:48:56one more chance?
00:48:56A year ago,
00:48:57Percy was throwing money
00:48:58around at Iron Anchor
00:48:59while Mom and Dad
00:49:00lived in that
00:49:01leaky old house.
00:49:02He never once
00:49:03mentioned family.
00:49:04Now that he's drowning,
00:49:05he's using our
00:49:06elderly parents
00:49:07to play the guilt card.
00:49:08That kind of
00:49:09guilt is discussed
00:49:10as more than
00:49:11that plate of
00:49:11rotten otosushi.
00:49:18Brother!
00:49:18Save me!
00:49:19Just transfer
00:49:20ten...
00:49:21ten percent
00:49:22of C-Myst shares
00:49:23to me,
00:49:23and the creditors
00:49:24will leave me alone!
00:49:25Mom and Dad,
00:49:26please,
00:49:27say something for me!
00:49:28Grayson,
00:49:29those deck cleapers
00:49:30are beating Percy
00:49:30half to death!
00:49:31He still has the strength
00:49:32to beg.
00:49:33He still has the strength
00:49:34to come here.
00:49:35He's perfectly capable
00:49:36of pulling himself
00:49:37out of this mess.
00:49:38You cold-blooded freak!
00:49:48You tried to hurt
00:49:49your own little brother?
00:49:52Mom, Dad,
00:49:53this is the son
00:49:54you wanted me to help.
00:49:56He never once
00:49:56thought of us as family.
00:50:00I never kick a man
00:50:02when he's down,
00:50:02but I will not
00:50:03repay evil
00:50:04with kindness.
00:50:06In that moment,
00:50:08his last family card
00:50:10was burned to ash
00:50:11by my own hand.
00:50:13You animal!
00:50:14Now we only have
00:50:15one son,
00:50:16Grayson!
00:50:16Don't you ever
00:50:17show your face
00:50:18in front of us again!
00:50:19No!
00:50:20No!
00:50:20No!
00:50:21Mom!
00:50:21Dad!
00:50:22No!
00:50:23No!
00:50:24No!
00:50:28That hopeless bastard.
00:50:31Grayson,
00:50:32it was our fault
00:50:32for asking you
00:50:33to help him.
00:50:35Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:50:37Mr. Grayson,
00:50:38it's bad.
00:50:39While your parents
00:50:39were asleep,
00:50:40a man claiming
00:50:41to be their son
00:50:42forced his way in
00:50:42and took their bags.
00:50:44That animal?
00:50:45Those bags had
00:50:46Mom and Dad's
00:50:46life savings!
00:50:47Their only retirement money!
00:50:51I thought Percy
00:50:52would just crawl
00:50:53into some corner
00:50:54and wait to die
00:50:54after being exposed.
00:50:56I underestimated
00:50:57how desperate
00:50:58a gambler
00:50:58with nothing left
00:50:59to loss can become.
00:51:06He didn't steal
00:51:07that money
00:51:07to pay off his debts.
00:51:08He stole it
00:51:09to feed his delusional
00:51:10dream of a comeback.
00:51:14Grayson,
00:51:15we found him.
00:51:16Percy is hooked up
00:51:17with an underground
00:51:17factory in Brooklyn.
00:51:18They produce
00:51:19illegal chemical flavorings
00:51:20that are highly addictive.
00:51:22He's trying to use
00:51:22those poisons
00:51:23to copy C-Mist's taste
00:51:24and force his way
00:51:25back into the market.
00:51:26For a little money,
00:51:27he's willing to do
00:51:28something like this?
00:51:41Get the best medical team
00:51:42in the country.
00:51:4324-hour care
00:51:44for Mom and Dad.
00:51:45Do whatever it takes
00:51:46to keep them
00:51:46from finding out
00:51:47what that bastard
00:51:48Percy has done.
00:51:48As for Percy,
00:51:50I'm going to make him pay.
00:51:52Before,
00:51:53I just wanted to see him
00:51:54broken on the streets.
00:51:56Now,
00:51:56I'm going to take him
00:51:58out myself.
00:52:04Talk!
00:52:06What did that ungrateful bastard
00:52:07give you?
00:52:08How dare you call him
00:52:09the most conscientious chef
00:52:11in Manhattan
00:52:11on livestream?
00:52:13He was about to pass out
00:52:14from hunger
00:52:15and I gave him a burger.
00:52:16He's a good man.
00:52:18You're the real demon.
00:52:21A good man?
00:52:22I'll break the hand
00:52:24that fed him.
00:52:25You're the real demon.
00:52:30Percy, go ahead.
00:52:31Touch that hand
00:52:32and see what happens.
00:52:34Grayson!
00:52:35You think just because
00:52:36you're some big shot now
00:52:37you're untouchable?
00:52:38This old man insulted me.
00:52:40I'll kill him!
00:52:45My hand!
00:52:46Grayson, you crazy bastard!
00:52:48That one's for the burger.
00:52:51My rule is simple.
00:52:52A kindness?
00:52:54I return it tenfold.
00:52:55A slight?
00:52:56I break the bone
00:52:57and from that
00:52:58delivered it.
00:53:02Sir,
00:53:03an apartment
00:53:04on the Upper East Side
00:53:05and a restaurant
00:53:06on Sorelli Street.
00:53:08They're yours now.
00:53:09Mr. Grayson,
00:53:12this is too much.
00:53:14This is nothing
00:53:15next to that burger
00:53:16you gave me back then.
00:53:17Percy lay there
00:53:18in the filthy water
00:53:19watching the trash
00:53:21he'd just been kicking
00:53:22suddenly become
00:53:22the property home
00:53:23he'd only ever dreamed of.
00:53:25Jealousy and pain
00:53:26drove me half insane.
00:53:32You just wait!
00:53:36While I sat atop
00:53:37Sea Mist Restaurant
00:53:38enjoying the rich aroma
00:53:40of premium wagyu,
00:53:42Percy was hiding
00:53:43in the stinking alleys
00:53:44of the slums
00:53:45trying to make his last
00:53:46desperate comeback.
00:53:48Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:53:51You seeing this?
00:53:52This is what real charity
00:53:54looks like!
00:53:55Sea Mist charges thousands
00:53:57for one meal!
00:53:58That's robbery!
00:53:59My bliss box
00:54:00is only $9.99!
00:54:02$9.99!
00:54:04Get it while it lasts!
00:54:06You losers!
00:54:08Eat it or don't,
00:54:09I don't care!
00:54:09Once I save up enough
00:54:11to buy out the Sea Mist,
00:54:12you could beg for it
00:54:12on your knees!
00:54:13Get lost!
00:54:14All of you haters,
00:54:16get lost!
00:54:17He had become
00:54:18a complete outcast,
00:54:19despised by the entire internet.
00:54:21He was poisoning
00:54:22those poor people,
00:54:23using that nerve-destroying
00:54:25addictive flavoring
00:54:26to make money,
00:54:27dreaming of making a comeback.
00:54:29He was night.
00:54:29The foundation of business
00:54:30has never been
00:54:31violent addiction.
00:54:32It's absolute control
00:54:34over the global supply chain.
00:54:41Grayson you came to laugh at me look look at all these people in line my capital is doubling
00:54:48soon I'll be able to buy out your fake little restaurant what have you got to fight me with
00:54:54in CMIST group's name inform the global spice association from this moment on whoever sells
00:54:59one gram of spice to any factory connected to Percy will be permanently erased from the global
00:55:03supply chain spice I've got money you idiot I'll just buy some from Chinatown what not just the big
00:55:14suppliers even the small workshops are canceling they're demanding triple the refund without spice
00:55:19I can't cover up the bitterness of all that expired rotten meat hello Percy without fire and salt you
00:55:25can't even cook a plate of garbage I cut off his last lifeline
00:55:37Leo you're the person Grayson trusts the most just put one drop of this vial into his tuna this
00:55:43five million and shares in the new company it's all yours five million gotta admit that's tempting
00:55:51good that arrogant bastard Grayson he never imagined he'd be betrayed by someone he saved
00:55:58Percy looks like you forgot Leo was about to go under and I'm the one who pulled him out your
00:56:04filthy
00:56:04money couldn't even buy back the life I saved for him back then when I save someone loyalty is in
00:56:10their blood Percy's blood it's pure rotting greed trying to buy loyalty with filthy garbage like that is
00:56:18basically him executing whatever intelligence he had left tell me if you drank that stuff you picked
00:56:26up yourself what do you think would happen no no Grayson I'm your own brother don't kill me kill you
00:56:37that would dirty my basement send him back crawling in the mud that's the only thing that suits him
00:56:45he took a step against me so I'll make sure he never walks straight again his dignity I've stomped
00:56:51it straight into the gutter starting today the sea mist group is acquiring every last shop on surla
00:57:00street all of you who didn't follow Percy when he was doing his dirty work you each receive a five
00:57:06percent in the original shares I came back to rebuild not to take revenge I wanted these
00:57:15honest people to know follow Grayson and even a vegetable seller can stand tall and make money right
00:57:21here in Manhattan hurry up just give me some bread I'm starving here mr. Grayson specifically asked for
00:57:32this for some special people three day old stale ends
00:57:38I watched him
00:57:41he once wanted to starve me now he's only breathing because I choose to throw him scraps
00:57:50Percy you're not off the hook yet that illegal factories poison time for you to take a sip yourself
00:58:02everyone see this restaurant so-called natural ingredients are nothing but a lie for the rich
00:58:08today I'm going to expose Grayson's crimes monopolizing spices and driving up prices
00:58:17our tech-based food costs only one percent of sea mist is but tastes exactly the same
00:58:23grayson's era is over I saw Percy's little circus act on the screen and it did nothing to me he's
00:58:30cozying
00:58:30up to those drug manufacturers who skate just inside the law trying to define great food with cheap
00:58:35Michael garbage he doesn't understand real top-tier ingredients are a gift from the earth and the sun
00:58:39not some molecular arrangement in a lab today the sea mist group will roll out the global restaurant
00:58:49platinum standard any restaurant that does not meet the natural supply chain audit will be removed from
00:58:55the global procurement while pissed for good mr. Grayson's proposal is a beacon for the restaurant
00:59:02industry and we support it 100% while Percy was still in that dark little corner trying to smear my
00:59:09name I
00:59:10was at the top of the food chain rewriting the rules of the game he thinks he's competing with
00:59:16me the truth is he's just swarming between my fingers oh this is impossible why would the WTO stand up
00:59:24for a
00:59:25guy who used to be a line cook Leo tell the people next door that my press conference is over
00:59:31now it's
00:59:34time to take out the trash Grayson this is illegal entry my tech food is the future of the industry
00:59:48the future of the industry this chemical waste that makes people hallucinate this bowl of plain
00:59:54kanji made simply with rice from the 40th parallel north and spring water from Crimea judges please
01:00:02this is the taste of a mother's cooking this is the pure warmth of the earth today I destroyed all
01:00:08his hypocrisy and arrogance with a single bowl of plain kanji a true master chef doesn't need complex
01:00:13recipes all he needs is a heart that respects nature Percy's lab made perfect flavor compared to the real
01:00:18deal it's just a toxic fraud this is the molecular formula for your synthetic meat there's a high dose of
01:00:26neural blockers in this keep eating it and you'll go crazy Percy this isn't cooking it's straight up
01:00:33murder get out of Manhattan go to hell you piece of trash no this isn't true Grayson you're setting me
01:00:42up Percy the moment you decided to poison the world with your drugs the gates of hell were already open
01:00:47for you Percy knelt on the ground covered in filth clinging to his father's legs and wailing his illegal
01:00:57lab had just been raided by the police he was now a wanted criminal across the country dad mom save
01:01:03me
01:01:03Grayson is gonna kill me he's gonna throw me into the meat grinder with all those creditors
01:01:12you are still my eldest son after all
01:01:20Grayson could you maybe
01:01:27mom even now you still think he just made a mistake the first one this is the pension transfer
01:01:32authorization he personally signed while you were both in the hospital the second one this is the
01:01:36contract where he mortgaged this family home to underground loan sharks behind your backs
01:01:44you animal you even stole our funeral fund do you want the two of us to die on the street
01:01:49dad I was
01:01:49trying to make a comeback once my chemical sauce sells I could buy you a hundred penthouses go just
01:01:54go Percy I don't have a son like you anymore Percy the biggest mistake you ever made was treating
01:02:01everyone around you as sacrificial lambs for your own success starting today you are out of this
01:02:08family Percy do you remember what you said that one of us would take over the world and the other
01:02:13would fade into obscurity I'm gonna make sure you watch me take over the world Grayson you goddamn
01:02:19bastards Grayson you said you wanted to settle family out counts on this day if you don't have solid
01:02:29evidence you know the consequences the thorn family rule is pramitism but in dismantations
01:02:35rules are just a cover-up for his greed a year ago Percy stood at a family gathering and mocked
01:02:41these
01:02:41hands of mine saying they were only good for holding a kitchen knife today I'm not just taking back my
01:02:46dignity I'm tearing apart his lies with my own hands he thought being family would save him like a free
01:02:51pass what he didn't know is that before absolute rules every single betrayal comes with a price
01:02:57first crime exploitation in the three years at iron anchor he withheld ninety thousand dollars of
01:03:01my front per pure can payment and treated me like cheap labor second crime poisoning he colluded with
01:03:07chemical companies and added nerve-blocking agents to the ingredients this is a direct assault on the
01:03:11hundred-year reputation third crime attempted murder he tried to attack and harm me you animal
01:03:18you dare to harm your own brother fourth crime and the most unforgivable one embezzlement while our
01:03:25parents were in the hospital he stole their pension and mortgaged the family home he tried to push the
01:03:30very people who raised him into the Hudson River oh that was all for business Grayson you're insane
01:03:36evidence is cold but people's hearts are hot the moment those four crimes came together to these
01:03:40elders he was no longer the hope of the family he was a rotting sword that had to be cut
01:03:44out you
01:03:44worthless bastard what do you have to say for yourself
01:03:53elder even if I was wrong I'm the only business genius in this family Grayson is just a cook he
01:03:59can't protect the family's legacy a business genius Parsi all your so-called management is just chasing
01:04:05internet fame while clinging to the dying Iron Anchor restaurant this is CMIST group's valuation
01:04:15100 billion dollars I don't just control one-third of the top-tier supply gen I also have the industry
01:04:21medal personally awarded by the World Trade Organization I wasn't showing them money but
01:04:25absolute dominance in this world capital speaks and the highest level of capital it makes people
01:04:30kneel Percy thought he was running a business me I'm running an era when I spread out these reports
01:04:34enough to buy half of New York his pathetic little assets wouldn't even be enough to pay my taxes
01:04:38100 billion Grayson you did this in just one year please Mr. Grayson take your place as the head of
01:04:47the family that's mine that was supposed to be mine Grayson what right do you have you lowly line cook
01:04:53Percy take a good look in this world the strong make the rules the weak just wait to die I
01:05:01stand at
01:05:02the summit looking down at him he once wanted me to kneel now he wasn't even worthy to lift his
01:05:08head
01:05:08and look at me
01:05:16Thorne Percy from this moment on you no longer carry the Thorne name you are out of this family
01:05:22no you can't tear it I am a Thorne I have Thorne blood running through my veins without the family
01:05:28the creditors would tear Percy to pieces I knew that and I didn't help it Percy the moment you stole
01:05:33your mom and dad's pension you had no blood relation left I watched that page get consumed by the flames
01:05:37turning to ash in Thorne family tradition being expelled means social death from now on he is no
01:05:42one's son no one's brother as a nameless nobody in the filthiest sewers he will pay back every blood bet
01:05:46he owed I want you to live as a man with no name Grayson you bastard without my hundred thousand
01:05:56dollars
01:05:56you'd still be a cockroach in the gutter a pathetic lowly line cook
01:06:09from this day forward the Thorne family has no Percy I looked up at the skyscrapers in the distance
01:06:22no money then pay with your life the Thorne family has already thrown you away like garbage
01:06:29right now you're worse than the rats this alley
01:06:36please just give me one more day just one day Grayson has money he has hundreds of billions
01:06:43he could pluck a hair off his body and it would be enough to pay you all back
01:06:51in Manhattan the highest form of rejection isn't insults it's silence right now I'm sitting with
01:06:57an arm rage of him but I can't even be bothered to lift a finger the moment he stole our
01:07:01parents
01:07:02last bit of survival money he lost even the right to die inside my thoughts Grayson my good little
01:07:08brother save me they want my organs they're gonna chop me up and feed me to the face give me
01:07:13a million
01:07:13no five hundred thousand just that much
01:07:31Percy used to say that money was the only true faith in this world
01:07:36since he loves money so much I'll let him feel what it's like when that money becomes a pile of
01:07:40stones crushing his spine
01:07:50Percy this is the money you owe us the price of our sweat our blood take these bills and crawl
01:07:56back to
01:08:03your hell
01:08:04money my money
01:08:07Grayson you finally gave me money I win
01:08:11Percy take a good look the thing you treat as your religion to me it's just spare change for trash
01:08:20I used to be a line cook worth only two thousand dollars now I've made him understand in front of
01:08:26absolute skill and absolute rules all a greedy man will ever get is a pile of worthless paper
01:08:43listen up everyone from today on there's only one standard on Manhattan's dining tables the sea mist ethical chef stand
01:08:54any chef who makes it on to sea mist whitelist I will personally vouch for their professional integrity in return
01:08:59sea mist guarantees their salary will double but if anyone dares to put even one gram of dirty ingredients into
01:09:04their food I promise you they will never have the chance to pick up a pair of chopsticks again
01:09:12Grayson you're absolutely right now that you've laid down the rules none of us would dare to think otherwise
01:09:17we'll do everything according to sea mist rules
01:09:29Joss
01:09:29Grayson asked me to tell you something
01:09:32since you loved helping Percy handle all that rotten dirty meat back in the day
01:09:37you can take on the dirtiest most disgusting jobs all by yourself for the rest of your life
01:09:44Grayson
01:09:46I really know I was wrong I was just following orders
01:09:51please let me go back to cutting vegetables
01:09:54I don't even need money just let me back into a kitchen
01:10:03go back to cutting vegetables Joss you're way too naive you've been blacklisted by the entire restaurant industry
01:10:09no
01:10:21New York is just the beginning
01:10:28Grayson look how soundly the baby is sleeping
01:10:31he's going to inherit everything I've built
01:10:41try this
01:10:47I've given Mia the most precious love in the world
01:10:51because she was there for me when the road was darkest
01:10:54this single piece of Satimi is worth a fortune
01:10:58but it still can't compare to the hug she gave me back then
01:11:01that was mine
01:11:03that should have been my spot
01:11:05Leo
01:11:07the flies outside are too noisy
01:11:09clean them up
01:11:14on opposite sides of a fence
01:11:17worlds apart
01:11:29grayson
01:11:30I knew it
01:11:31I knew you would come back
01:11:32professor
01:11:34if it weren't for that hard bread you gave me back then I wouldn't have made it until sea mist
01:11:38opened
01:11:38on behalf of the sea mist group I am donating 10 billion dollars
01:11:42not just for the school but to honor professor smith's craftsmanship
01:11:48Grayson does the research institute need any logistics staff
01:11:50we haven't been doing well these past few years
01:11:53for old times sake
01:11:54I remember you
01:11:54you said back then that I was only fit to clean your toilets
01:11:58that was a joke
01:11:59Grayson we'd take any job
01:12:01even a janitor at the research institute
01:12:03tell HR every single position at the research institute from security to cleaning staff to the guys mowing the lawn
01:12:08I have to interview them personally
01:12:09I watched the fear and greed in their eyes and I felt nothing
01:12:12class
01:12:12it used to be their weapon for bullying me
01:12:15now
01:12:16it's my shackles for judging them
01:12:23sir
01:12:24I used to run a restaurant
01:12:26I know a lot about trash sorting
01:12:27please
01:12:28just give me a job so I can eat
01:12:30alert
01:12:30blacklisted individual detected
01:12:32Percy
01:12:32permission level permanently banned
01:12:38get lost
01:12:39every single business under sea mist
01:12:41even our trash dump won't take scum like you
01:12:49Grayson
01:12:50you can't do this to me
01:12:52I'm your own brother
01:12:53I bought up all the trash processing rights in manhattan
01:12:56not just for the monopoly
01:12:58but to make sure certain scumbags have nowhere left to hide in this
01:13:01city
01:13:02he once said I was a line cook who could be replaced by any homeless guy off the street
01:13:06now
01:13:07he doesn't even qualify to be a sorter
01:13:09the AI recognition system upgrade looks good
01:13:12give the tech department a bonus
01:13:15the struggles of a clown like this aren't even worth a second of my anger anymore
01:13:18his misery is just background noise on my way to the top
01:13:22and
01:13:34in the old era of the food industry
01:13:36the exploiters believed that as long as they controlled the capital
01:13:38they could run over skill and destroy a chef's soul
01:13:40but the rise of sea mist is here to tell everyone in this room
01:13:43I am rewriting the rules
01:13:45the exploiters will eventually be abandoned by the times
01:13:47but the craftsmen who protect the soul
01:13:48they will be crowned kings
01:13:49I wasn't just giving a speech
01:13:51I was declaring war on this cold-blooded world of capital
01:13:55a year ago they were percy's guests of honor

01:14:07what is your next goal
01:14:08my goal is to make sure there is no more soil in this world for a cancer like percy to
01:14:11grow
01:14:11I saw it in the eyes of those tycoons who once seemed untouchable
01:14:15a fear they've never felt before
01:14:17the underdog's rise isn't a myth
01:14:19it's the judgment I wrote with my own hands

01:14:25I'm cooperating I'll tell you everything
01:14:27three months ago that maniac percy bribed one of our lab technicians

01:14:32make it clear
01:14:34he wants to destroy sea mists air
01:14:36he's planning to put harmful substances in that batch of special supply milk powder
01:14:39I thought stripping him of his name and letting him rot in the gutter like a rat was my final
01:14:43act of mercy
01:14:44but I underestimated how vicious a mad dog can be
01:14:47he dared to reach his filthy hands towards my child

01:15:05surrounded by sickness and the torture of those creditors
01:15:07watching the glory of my sea mist restaurant shine in the sunlight
01:15:10blinding him from behind those bars

01:15:43and now he wants to talk about blood
01:15:45the moment he reached for mom and dad's pension
