00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago.
00:00:03Business was crazy. We cleared 6 million in one year.
00:00:07But me? He gave me only 100 grand.
00:00:09A prep cook barely makes 2,000 a month.
00:00:13I gave you 100 grand. And only because you're my brother.
00:00:18I took it with a smile.
00:00:20Then I turned around and leased that run-down, filthy restaurant right across from his.
00:00:25I started my own place.
00:00:27The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped.
00:00:31He smashed his own car hood.
00:00:33He just couldn't wrap his head around it.
00:00:36How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place in town?
00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook.
00:00:45$2,000 a month.
00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared 6 mil.
00:00:53Here's your share.
00:00:58I took it and counted.
00:01:00Only 100,000.
00:01:01Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.
00:01:04I put up the money for this restaurant.
00:01:05I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:08You're just a line cook.
00:01:10Any bum off the street could do your job.
00:01:12If you weren't my brother, you wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:16For 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.
00:01:44Move along or I'm calling the cops.
00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.
00:01:50And pert in front of his live stream.
00:01:52Five people, always the same five, making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:01:57I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.
00:02:02Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:05I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.
00:02:08Thanks.
00:02:09I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.
00:02:13The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.
00:02:16The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.
00:02:18Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:21So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly part well.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:29See you in three days.
00:02:31Good boy.
00:02:32I didn't say a word.
00:02:33Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.
00:02:41And me.
00:02:42I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street.
00:02:46The one that couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up.
00:02:49Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.
00:02:53Percy thought it was a dump.
00:02:54A place only bums would set foot in.
00:02:59Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.
00:03:02Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.
00:03:04Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor.
00:03:06You absolutely sure?
00:03:07I'm sure.
00:03:08I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:10And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.
00:03:13Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:16What Percy didn't realize.
00:03:17That award in three days.
00:03:19It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:23This rundown shop was hidden away.
00:03:26Filthy.
00:03:27Pitch.
00:03:27Dark.
00:03:28Thick layers of grease covered everything.
00:03:31I didn't complain.
00:03:32Though, inside, I was actually pumped.
00:03:36Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump across the street again.
00:03:40He got out of his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it, laughing so hard he could
00:03:46barely stand.
00:03:50Grayson, you absolute idiot.
00:03:52I gave you $100,000, and you blow it on this rat hole?
00:03:57Don't you have any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:00I ignored him.
00:04:01Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.
00:04:04Even pulled out his phone and went live, making exaggerated faces at the camera.
00:04:08Look at this, folks.
00:04:10Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.
00:04:13This place is so disgusting.
00:04:14I swear, even a rat wouldn't come near it.
00:04:17Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.
00:04:21Grayson, I'm your older brother.
00:04:24I have to take care of you.
00:04:26You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.
00:04:28I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that kind of job is.
00:04:34After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.
00:04:38He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:40He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:43But one thing he would never understand.
00:04:46A restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:48And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:54It was already 3 in the morning when I got home.
00:04:57The light was still on.
00:04:58I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt.
00:05:01My face exhausted.
00:05:02I panicked.
00:05:04I didn't want my family to worry, but I knew I had to face it eventually.
00:05:10My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:05:13Honey, what happened?
00:05:15Why are you so late?
00:05:16Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.
00:05:18I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:22Mia looked uneasy.
00:05:24She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:27I saw the news.
00:05:28The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.
00:05:32The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.
00:05:36Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:05:39Did he give you any of it?
00:05:41Sure.
00:05:42He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:44Only a hundred grand?
00:05:45The news said the place cleared six million.
00:05:48That's not fair.
00:05:50You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.
00:05:53At least half of the credit is yours.
00:05:56How could he do this to you?
00:05:58Mia, calm down.
00:06:00Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds.
00:06:03Why are you still working for him?
00:06:07I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:06:11I support whatever decision you make.
00:06:18Here's twenty grand.
00:06:19Go all in, Grayson.
00:06:21The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:24I won't let you down.
00:06:26I swear.
00:06:27The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.
00:06:31That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:33What if I let Nia down?
00:06:35The dirty, pitch black image of Seamist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.
00:06:39I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.
00:06:43I started doubting whether going solo was the right move,
00:06:46or just a stupid decision made out of anger.
00:06:48I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years,
00:06:51and sat down at the desk.
00:06:53It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.
00:06:56I've recorded including the mayor's.
00:06:58I once sat in a high-end restaurant,
00:07:00and carefully watched how he ate,
00:07:02what he left on his plate.
00:07:03This notebook gives me the confidence
00:07:05that comes from experience.
00:07:07Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:11What did you say?
00:07:13Seamist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:17This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:22With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:07:24I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:07:27He'd always seen my potential.
00:07:28And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,
00:07:30he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.
00:07:32You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:07:35I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:07:38All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:07:42I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.
00:07:45If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,
00:07:48he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest sis.
00:07:51Too bad.
00:07:52All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream
00:07:56that never gets more than five people.
00:07:58He didn't recognize him at all.
00:08:00Don't say I never give you a chance.
00:08:02The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:08:06My dear little brother,
00:08:07I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:08:11And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:08:14I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:08:19Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:08:22He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:08:24Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.
00:08:26And at an event like this,
00:08:28his little brother,
00:08:29the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,
00:08:32would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:08:35I'll be there on time.
00:08:38Here's ten bucks.
00:08:40Go park my car for me.
00:08:45Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.
00:08:49Percy was so sure of it
00:08:50that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:08:54But he overlooked me.
00:08:55A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:08:58Insignificant.
00:08:59Obedient.
00:09:00Beneath noted.
00:09:01When I got home,
00:09:03I told Mia that I was going to Percy's Restaurant for the awards event.
00:09:06I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:09:09No, Grayson,
00:09:10you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.
00:09:13Can't you see?
00:09:14He stole the fruits of your hard work,
00:09:16and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:19Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:09:22If he tries to embarrass me,
00:09:23I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:29A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:09:32Fine.
00:09:34I'll go with you.
00:09:39Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:41He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:43The moment he saw Mia and me show up,
00:09:46his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:48Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:53Let me introduce you all.
00:09:55This is my brother Grayson.
00:09:56He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor
00:09:59and thinks he's going to compete with me.
00:10:01Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:03All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:10:06Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:12You know what Percy nets a year?
00:10:14Six million dollars.
00:10:16You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.
00:10:19You really should just stick with your brother.
00:10:21That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.
00:10:25Don't mind them, Grayson.
00:10:26What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:32That's enough.
00:10:33You're all way out of line.
00:10:35The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:39Grayson, control your wife.
00:10:41This isn't the place for a scene.
00:10:43Easy, Mia.
00:10:44I'm fine.
00:10:53Here's my card.
00:10:54You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:10:57Percy looked at me in disbelief.
00:10:59He never expected that after being humiliated like that.
00:11:02Grayson, what are you doing here?
00:11:02I'd still be able to hand out my business card.
00:11:05Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:07No one took it.
00:11:09Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?
00:11:13Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:14I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:16I swear.
00:11:18One day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:26These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:28Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:32I could see right through it.
00:11:34The dishes looked exactly the same as before, but the ingredients had changed.
00:11:39Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money.
00:11:42But he doesn't understand his customers.
00:11:44Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:47Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences, he can never make the perfect dish.
00:11:53At the table, the guests could already tell something was off with the food.
00:11:57But because they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to ignore it.
00:12:01The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry.
00:12:05Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year.
00:12:09How much money he'd made.
00:12:10Mia was so upset, she couldn't even eat.
00:12:13The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.
00:12:15But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:17He brought me up again.
00:12:19Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still come back.
00:12:25I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs.
00:12:30But you are my little brother after all.
00:12:32Percy, you're such a good man.
00:12:35Your brother has a death wish opening a restaurant right across from you,
00:12:38and you're still looking out for him.
00:12:41Of course.
00:12:42What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?
00:12:46Without Percy, he's nothing.
00:12:50I was furious.
00:12:52All anyone could see was Percy's winning globe.
00:12:55No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:12:57Percy was soaking up the praise.
00:13:00Laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.
00:13:02And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.
00:13:06The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor can only be my sea mist restaurant.
00:13:10I raised my glass.
00:13:12A calm smile on my face.
00:13:13You're alright.
00:13:14Everything I do I learn from Percy, my respected big brother.
00:13:20The mayor was arriving any minute.
00:13:22Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:26Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:30Even though you had the nerve to leave me, I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:34And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:37Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.
00:13:45I looked at the mayor.
00:13:46I knew my chance had come.
00:13:51A year ago, I went through hell to land the supplier with the highest food safety rating.
00:13:57Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:02And now that top tier supplier belongs to me.
00:14:05The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:14:08Obviously, just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:14:15This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:18I tried to warn them about quality control, but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:26Grayson, step aside.
00:14:29The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:36Grayson, you just stand aside and watch.
00:14:38Even for a line cook, you've still got a lot to learn.
00:14:41Percy didn't care about my skills.
00:14:45He asked me to come to the kitchen only to humiliate me with the new hire,
00:14:49to prove I was good for nothing.
00:14:52But he had no idea how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.
00:14:56Without real knife skills, you can't handle it properly.
00:15:00Especially a piece of cheap, low-quality tuna like this.
00:15:04Percy, I swear it.
00:15:07I'm just trying to make my little brother better.
00:15:09Otherwise, how is he going to support you and the baby in your belly?
00:15:12That failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:18I'll learn from him.
00:15:20After today, one of us will be famous, and the other will be a nobody.
00:15:28Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:32That is right.
00:15:33After today, one of us is going to take over the world,
00:15:36and the other is going to fade into obscurity.
00:15:39I watched very carefully.
00:15:41Joss thought I was actually learning,
00:15:43and he even took the time to explain things to me.
00:15:45I smiled.
00:15:45With such lousy technique,
00:15:48that Blue Fied Tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile of ruined meat in his hands.
00:15:52And the mayor.
00:15:54He hates nothing more than being handed low-quality.
00:15:58Butchered tuna.
00:15:59Like it is no big deal.
00:16:04Percy was in the dining room,
00:16:06chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world.
00:16:09He had no idea his restaurant was heading straight to hell.
00:16:12Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter.
00:16:15Meanwhile, the highest-quality Blue Fied Tuna was being delivered to Sea Mist.
00:16:21Couldn't even dream of reaching this level.
00:16:27Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream,
00:16:30let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother, Grayson.
00:16:34Never been smart.
00:16:35Only good for the dirty work in the back.
00:16:37He recently opened some dump called Sea Mist right over there.
00:16:41If you ever feel like your stomach's too full and you need to throw up,
00:16:45feel free to go try his chemical waste.
00:16:50Percy, you're too soft.
00:16:52Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.
00:16:56Mr. Mayor, here's my card.
00:16:58I'm good at making otoyu sushi.
00:17:00Are you crazy?
00:17:02A little place that can't even fit two people in the bathroom
00:17:05and you think you can hand the mayor your business card?
00:17:07My restaurant is spotless, and my ingredients are the best.
00:17:12I don't think square footage determines quality.
00:17:15Grayson, stop embarrassing yourself here.
00:17:21Young man, you have something those greedy businessmen don't.
00:17:25You're calm.
00:17:26I like that.
00:17:28The mayor sure has a sense of humor.
00:17:31He's just teaching the young generation to stay humble.
00:17:35Grayson, the only reason the mayor hasn't kicked you out
00:17:38is out of respect for me.
00:17:40Stop any of your pathetic delusions.
00:17:50Please take a seat.
00:18:02Mr. Mayor, this is our signature dish, otoro sushi.
00:18:06I promise you'll love it.
00:18:10Iron Anchor's otoro sushi is one of a kind, Mr. Mayor.
00:18:13I guarantee you'll fall for it.
00:18:15The knife work, the technique, absolutely flawless.
00:18:19In the past, the otoro sushi really was one of a kind.
00:18:24But this time, without top quality ingredients and skilled knife work,
00:18:28the only thing coming out of that kitchen is a one of a kind piece of garbage.
00:18:55Oh my god, what the hell is that garbage?
00:18:59At that same moment, the otoro sushi I prepared was being carefully packed up
00:19:04and was already on its way.
00:19:06We are about to serve the very...
00:19:09Everyone, stay sharp.
00:19:12Yes.
00:19:25Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.
00:19:28Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.
00:19:31His smile vanished.
00:19:33Guests gagged.
00:19:33The mayor slammed his fork down on the table in fury.
00:19:36Percy, this is the signature dish you've been bragging about?
00:19:38Open your damn eyes!
00:19:39Is this meant for humans?
00:19:40I held Mia close and watched.
00:19:42Cold.
00:19:43Percy's face went pale.
00:19:45Cold sweat dripped from his temples down into his collar.
00:19:47But he wasn't done.
00:19:48He fell back on his pathetic sales pitch, desperate to cover up the rot.
00:19:52No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:19:54This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.
00:19:58Advanced aging.
00:19:59No, he just served the mayor cheap.
00:20:02Old meat to cut costs.
00:20:03The live stream was going wild.
00:20:06The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.
00:20:09Fine.
00:20:09You're so confident in this process?
00:20:11Then don't waste it.
00:20:12Bring it to him.
00:20:13Eat it, Percy.
00:20:14Every last piece.
00:20:15Right now.
00:20:16No!
00:20:16No!
00:20:17You're resisting so hard.
00:20:18Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:20:21No!
00:20:22Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:24The security guard stepped forward.
00:20:26The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.
00:20:29Under the gaze of the citywide live stream, he was forced to swallow that rotten meat like a pathetic stray
00:20:35dog.
00:20:36He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away.
00:20:40Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.
00:20:42The mayor's fury was just the beginning.
00:20:45The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.
00:20:52This is the pride of Surla Street, the face of our state's restaurant industry?
00:20:57Percy, you didn't just insult me.
00:20:59You insult the entire food safety laws of this city.
00:21:02Mr. Mayor, I swear on my life, the sushi is fine.
00:21:05I just drank too much last night.
00:21:06It's my stomach.
00:21:07It's upset.
00:21:07Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:12No one knew better than me.
00:21:13Eating rotten bluefin tuna would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:16Soon, Percy showed all the signs.
00:21:19The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go help him.
00:21:24Dammit!
00:21:25You used rotten meat!
00:21:26That's why you're such a mess right now!
00:21:27Percy, you idiot!
00:21:28You just blew the entire war!
00:21:30No, no, no!
00:21:30It's not what you think!
00:21:31And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream in the entire city.
00:21:37Enough!
00:21:38I want a full investigation of Iron Anchor right now!
00:21:41Percy wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move.
00:21:43Soon enough, the iron door to Iron Anchor's back storage was violently pushed over.
00:21:48A stench of formaldehyde mixed with rotting blood hit everyone in the face.
00:21:52Cardboard boxes piled up like knives, their outer layers covered in mold.
00:21:56The smell is absolutely disgusting!
00:21:58Just thinking about the food I ate makes me want to strangle Percy with my bare hand!
00:22:01Percy was dragged to the storage door like a filthy rag.
00:22:04The mayor pointed angrily at the inside of the back room.
00:22:07This is the best ingredient warehouse in all of New York?
00:22:09Percy, you better explain this now!
00:22:13Percy scrambled, saying it was all the supplier's fault that he was a victim too.
00:22:17Tears streamed down his face as he got all emotional.
00:22:19At first, some people actually believed him.
00:22:21After all, Iron Anchor's reputation had been perfect.
00:22:24That was until a contract signed with the shady supplier was pulled out of a drawer.
00:22:27A hundred dollars a play and you spent three cents on the meat?!
00:22:30Banned it.
00:22:31That's what it was.
00:22:32The money went to the cars.
00:22:33The fancy front.
00:22:34But the food itself.
00:22:35He had zero respect for it.
00:22:36Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:22:38I was just trying to save money.
00:22:40I didn't know the supplier would give me bad meat.
00:22:41I'd give me bad meat.
00:22:43You didn't know?
00:22:44You're playing games with people's lives!
00:22:47Percy looked around in despair.
00:22:49Nothing but contempt.
00:22:50And the mayor's fury was even more terrifying than he'd imagined.
00:22:53If this is the best Surla Street has to offer,
00:22:55then I will shut down every single restaurant on this entire street!
00:22:57The whole place erupted.
00:22:59Every business owner's face dropped.
00:23:00If the whole street got shut down,
00:23:02they would lose countless future business deals.
00:23:03Percy, you animal!
00:23:05You want to serve trash?
00:23:06Fine!
00:23:06But don't drag the rest of us down with you!
00:23:08You disgusting little roach!
00:23:09Go to hell!
00:23:10That is human nature.
00:23:11When Percy was on top,
00:23:12they were his loyal supporters.
00:23:13The moment he fell,
00:23:14everyone wanted to kick him.
00:23:15While he was down,
00:23:16Mia looked worried.
00:23:17She was afraid my restaurant would get caught up in this too.
00:23:19I patted her hand.
00:23:20I'd just gotten my license.
00:23:21I was fully confident I could turn the tide on Surla Street.
00:23:24And if I timed it right,
00:23:25my chef should be here in a second.
00:23:31Percy panicked.
00:23:32Iron Anchor was facing closure.
00:23:33And me,
00:23:34his worthless little brother,
00:23:35bringing in a chef
00:23:36with the very same cut of fish.
00:23:38Grayson!
00:23:38What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:23:40Mr. Mayor,
00:23:41before you give up on this street,
00:23:43please give real Surla Street Cuisine one chance.
00:23:45Percy pulled himself up off the floor
00:23:47and stormed over to me,
00:23:48furious.
00:23:49That garbage from your $500 dump
00:23:51has no place in front of the mayor!
00:23:54I'm warning you.
00:23:55Throw that trash away!
00:23:56Mia was never one to just take it lying down.
00:23:58The second she heard that,
00:23:59she hauled off and slapped Percy
00:24:00right across the face.
00:24:01Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face,
00:24:04you arrogant jerk!
00:24:06Three minutes ago,
00:24:07you were serving the mayor garbage.
00:24:08Whatever my husband has in that box
00:24:10is worth more than you
00:24:11and your whole restaurant ever were!
00:24:13You dare put your hands on me?
00:24:14You shameless bitch!
00:24:16The mayor beat me to it.
00:24:17He had his security restrained Percy,
00:24:19then looked at the takeout box in my hand.
00:24:21I think I'd like to try something made
00:24:23by a man with some composure.
00:24:25See, Mr. Restaurant.
00:24:27Please enjoy.
00:24:42I've never seen sashimi with such perfect texture.
00:24:45It's as thin as a leaf.
00:24:46The aroma's so rich.
00:24:48My mouth is watering.
00:24:49The livestream went wild, too.
00:24:51The comments were full of curiosity
00:24:53about my food.
00:24:54Because of this turnaround,
00:24:55the viewer count instantly skyrocketed
00:24:57by 10,000.
00:24:59Tuna of this grade,
00:25:00my supplier swore I was his only client in Manhattan.
00:25:02Your so-called supply chain is just a transaction.
00:25:04What Grayson earned is the supplier's respect.
00:25:06He deserves to have the best ingredients,
00:25:08way more than your iron anchor ever did.
00:25:10I watched the mayor's fingertips tremble.
00:25:13That is the instinctive reaction
00:25:14of a true gourmet
00:25:15in the presence of something transcendent.
00:25:18Percy always thought
00:25:19waving his checkbook around on livestream
00:25:21would let him control everything.
00:25:23But he never knew.
00:25:24Some ingredients can't be bought.
00:25:26They choose who deserves them.
00:25:29My God.
00:25:30The sweetness,
00:25:31the way this fat just
00:25:32dissolves,
00:25:33it's melting on your tongue.
00:25:35Grayson, I take back what I said earlier.
00:25:36This isn't just food.
00:25:37This is art.
00:25:39This year's industry benchmark restaurant
00:25:41is not this foul-smelling iron anchor.
00:25:45It goes to...
00:25:51Wait!
00:25:52C-Mist shouldn't even be in the running.
00:25:53Everyone knows that place is a dump,
00:25:55full of grease and rats.
00:25:57It doesn't even meet
00:25:57basic health and safety standards.
00:25:59Percy looked at me
00:26:00with that smug expression,
00:26:01like he'd finally cornered the clown.
00:26:03Too bad.
00:26:04This time,
00:26:05the joke was on him.
00:26:06Save the pity, Grayson.
00:26:08I know you tried really hard
00:26:09to steal first place from me.
00:26:11Too bad.
00:26:12Trying isn't enough.
00:26:13You'll never surpass me,
00:26:14little brother.
00:26:16Mr. Mayor,
00:26:17it would be my honor
00:26:18to lead the way
00:26:19and show everyone
00:26:20this garbage
00:26:22Dim Grayson calls a restaurant.
00:26:24That place has been closed for ages.
00:26:26I heard the last owner was so bitter.
00:26:28He poured cooking oil
00:26:29all over the floors on his way out.
00:26:30You can't even walk in there.
00:26:32That's right.
00:26:33And he left all kinds of
00:26:34expired food in there, too.
00:26:35It's probably a full-blown
00:26:36rat kingdom by now.
00:26:37What right does a dump like that
00:26:38have to call itself a restaurant?
00:26:40What do we do?
00:26:42Mr. Mayor,
00:26:43and everyone here,
00:26:45as the owner of
00:26:46Seamist Restaurant,
00:26:47I invite you all
00:26:47to come see it for yourselves.
00:26:49You idiot.
00:26:51Get ready to watch
00:26:51your precious restaurant
00:26:52get shut down.
00:26:54My dear fans,
00:26:55I'm about to show you
00:26:57the most chaotic,
00:26:59filthiest garbage dump
00:27:00on Surla Street.
00:27:01You cannot imagine
00:27:03how absolutely disgusting
00:27:05that place is.
00:27:08Percy, lying has consequences.
00:27:11It's totally fake.
00:27:12I guarantee you,
00:27:13behind this door,
00:27:13it's nothing but trash and stink.
00:27:15Dink.
00:27:16Brayson.
00:27:16Just wait and see.
00:27:17Percy's smug smile
00:27:18kept growing,
00:27:19but all of that
00:27:19was about to come
00:27:20to a screeching halt
00:27:21the second I open that door.
00:27:28This is impossible.
00:27:29Oh my God!
00:27:31In just a few days,
00:27:32that dump
00:27:33has completely changed.
00:27:35It's so clean and tidy.
00:27:36Way more pleasant to look at
00:27:38than Iron Anchor's
00:27:39tacky, flashy decorations.
00:27:45Grayson,
00:27:46your taste is just as impressive
00:27:48as your food.
00:27:55Man,
00:27:56this place is cleaner
00:27:57than an operating room.
00:27:59I worked around the clock,
00:28:00kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:28:01scrubbing every single crack
00:28:03with a brush.
00:28:04Percy spent his money
00:28:04on those gauly chandeliers
00:28:06that blind you.
00:28:07I spent mine
00:28:07on every little detail
00:28:08you can touch.
00:28:09This is all just for show!
00:28:10You can fake the decor,
00:28:12but you can't fake
00:28:13the ingredients!
00:28:16Grayson,
00:28:16you're broke!
00:28:17Your monthly rent
00:28:18is 500 bucks.
00:28:19How can you afford
00:28:21pop-grade blue-fit tuna?
00:28:22I bet that piece
00:28:23he just fed you
00:28:24was the only decent one
00:28:25he's got.
00:28:26His freezer must be packed
00:28:27with cheap frozen garbage.
00:28:29Trash!
00:28:30Will always be trash!
00:28:32You want to see?
00:28:34I'll show you.
00:28:40So many.
00:28:41Tuna of this quality,
00:28:43only three restaurants
00:28:43in all of New York
00:28:44can get their hands
00:28:45on these.
00:28:49Percy,
00:28:49take a good look.
00:28:50This is what you call
00:28:52garbage.
00:28:52No!
00:28:53You must have injected
00:28:54poison into these rotten fish,
00:28:55sprayed them with chemicals!
00:28:56Who the hell
00:28:57is insulting my fish?
00:29:03You are...
00:29:03I worked with Iron Anchor
00:29:05for a whole year.
00:29:06Not once did you bother
00:29:07to remember my name.
00:29:08Percy,
00:29:09you're an absolute idiot.
00:29:12You're Iron Anchor's
00:29:13biggest supplier
00:29:14from this past year.
00:29:15You traitor!
00:29:16You're the traitor!
00:29:17And premium ingredients
00:29:19should go to people
00:29:20who actually appreciate them!
00:29:22Mr. Mayor,
00:29:23I'm the largest
00:29:24seafood distributor
00:29:24in California.
00:29:25I hereby certify
00:29:27that all ingredients
00:29:28used by Sea Mist Restaurant
00:29:29are exclusively supplied
00:29:31through my special channel
00:29:32with the highest
00:29:33A-level safety rating.
00:29:34Mr. Grayson
00:29:35is the most knowledgeable
00:29:36person about ingredients
00:29:38I've ever met.
00:29:38That's why I ended
00:29:40all my contracts
00:29:41with Iron Anchor
00:29:41for him.
00:29:43Are you insane?
00:29:44I give you millions
00:29:45of dollars a year!
00:29:46What about him?
00:29:47All he got was
00:29:48the lousy hundred grand
00:29:49I threw at him!
00:29:50After lashing out
00:29:50at the supplier,
00:29:52Percy turned his rage
00:29:53back on me.
00:29:54Grayson!
00:29:55You ungrateful snake!
00:29:57You took the hundred grand
00:29:58I gave you
00:29:59and used it to steal
00:30:00my supplier
00:30:01and become my enemy?
00:30:02Don't you have
00:30:02any family loyalty
00:30:03at all?
00:30:04Percy.
00:30:07Percy.
00:30:08Out of that hundred grand
00:30:09ninety thousand
00:30:10was purchasing money
00:30:11I fronted for you.
00:30:15The remaining ten thousand
00:30:16was what you paid me
00:30:18for three years
00:30:19of working my ass off
00:30:21day and night.
00:30:22You thought you could
00:30:23buy my dignity.
00:30:24I'm taking it back
00:30:25with my own hands.
00:30:26We're even.
00:30:27And don't forget
00:30:28this supplier was mine
00:30:29from the very beginning.
00:30:31Percy's eyes
00:30:31went unfocused.
00:30:32It looked like
00:30:33he was finally remembering
00:30:34how hard I worked
00:30:35a year ago.
00:30:36Visiting supplier
00:30:37after supplier
00:30:38screening through
00:30:39thousands of them
00:30:39to find this one.
00:30:41Percy wanted to
00:30:41keep arguing
00:30:42but fate wasn't
00:30:43going to give him
00:30:44any more chances.
00:30:46Mr. Mayor
00:30:46it's not just
00:30:47the ingredients.
00:30:48The entire interior
00:30:49of Iron Anchor
00:30:49is built with
00:30:50the cheapest
00:30:50most flammable
00:30:51formalhyde laden boards
00:30:52just painted over
00:30:52with a layer of gold.
00:30:53Iron Anchor
00:30:54is basically
00:30:54a poison gas chamber
00:30:55that would explode
00:30:56the second it touches fire.
00:31:00That's disgusting.
00:31:02All for show.
00:31:03Percy
00:31:03get out of
00:31:04the restaurant industry.
00:31:07Mr. Mayor
00:31:07I was wrong.
00:31:09I just wanted
00:31:10the restaurant
00:31:10to look better.
00:31:11You risk people's lives
00:31:13just to look good?
00:31:14Percy's tears
00:31:15rolled down
00:31:16his fake
00:31:16lying face.
00:31:18He used to throw
00:31:18money in front of me
00:31:19and call me
00:31:20a country bumpin'
00:31:21who'd never seen
00:31:21the world.
00:31:22And now
00:31:23that live streaming empire
00:31:24he'd so carefully built
00:31:26was collapsing
00:31:27inch by inch
00:31:28in front of a global audience.
00:31:29I hereby declare
00:31:31Sea Mist Restaurant
00:31:32the industry
00:31:34benchmark restaurant
00:31:35for this year.
00:31:36Effective immediately
00:31:38Iron Anchor's
00:31:39business license
00:31:40is permanently revoked.
00:31:42All assets
00:31:43are to be seized.
00:31:45Percy is under
00:31:45official investigation
00:31:46for food safety crimes
00:31:48and commercial fraud.
00:31:51Now
00:31:51throw this cockroat
00:31:53out of here.
00:31:54No!
00:31:56No!
00:31:58No!
00:31:58No!
00:31:58No!
00:31:58No!
00:31:59No!
00:32:00No!
00:32:01Grayson!
00:32:02Save me!
00:32:03You're my own
00:32:04little brother.
00:32:04Your restaurant
00:32:05is right across
00:32:06the street.
00:32:06You can fix this.
00:32:07You have to.
00:32:08I gave him a year.
00:32:09A whole year.
00:32:11But all he ever learned
00:32:12was how to put on
00:32:13a show for his
00:32:13live screen.
00:32:14Grayson!
00:32:16Grayson,
00:32:17I'm begging you.
00:32:18You're tight with
00:32:18the mayor.
00:32:19Please put in
00:32:19a good word for me.
00:32:20You can't let them
00:32:21close my place.
00:32:22That's everything
00:32:22I've got.
00:32:23Everything you've got,
00:32:24Percy?
00:32:25You call rotten meat
00:32:26and fake gold
00:32:26paint everything
00:32:27you've got?
00:32:28Just don't shut me
00:32:28down.
00:32:29I'll do anything
00:32:29you want.
00:32:30I'll give you
00:32:31all the shares.
00:32:32You come back
00:32:32and be the boss.
00:32:33I'll work for you.
00:32:34I'll be your line cook.
00:32:35Percy, do you remember
00:32:36how you humiliated
00:32:37Grayson?
00:32:38You said he was
00:32:39only worth 2,000 bucks.
00:32:40You said a homeless
00:32:41guy off the street
00:32:42could replace him.
00:32:43A year ago,
00:32:44I begged him
00:32:45in the pouring rain
00:32:46just like this
00:32:46to pay the supplier
00:32:48what he owed.
00:32:49He rolled down
00:32:49his car window,
00:32:51blew smoke in my face,
00:32:52and told me
00:32:53I didn't understand
00:32:54business.
00:32:55Percy,
00:32:55your biggest mistake
00:32:56wasn't greed.
00:32:57It was that you
00:32:58never learned
00:32:58to respect food.
00:32:59Someone who can make
00:33:00the finest fish
00:33:01smell like death
00:33:02has no place
00:33:03in a kitchen.
00:33:05You're really
00:33:05going to just let me die?
00:33:06For old times' sake,
00:33:08since you want to be
00:33:08a line cook so bad,
00:33:10Sea Mist just happens
00:33:11to be looking for someone
00:33:12to clean the bathrooms.
00:33:132,000 a month.
00:33:14And the only reason
00:33:15I'm even offering it
00:33:16to you is out of respect
00:33:17for you being my big brother.
00:33:22Mr. Grayson,
00:33:23I'm officially transferring
00:33:24my $5 million
00:33:25annual banquet booking
00:33:26to Sea Mist Restaurant.
00:33:27Name your price.
00:33:28Just make sure that
00:33:28Oto Sushi shows up
00:33:29at my event.
00:33:30Grayson,
00:33:30this is a long-term
00:33:31letter of intent
00:33:32from the Manhattan
00:33:32Restaurant Association.
00:33:34We're willing to pay
00:33:34a 50% premium
00:33:35as long as Sea Mist
00:33:36agrees to be our partner.
00:33:37Three hours ago,
00:33:38these same people
00:33:39watched Percy humiliate me
00:33:40in front of everyone.
00:33:41They laughed at me,
00:33:41a lowly line cook
00:33:42who didn't know his place.
00:33:43Now,
00:33:44they're willing to pay double
00:33:44just to beg me
00:33:45for a partnership.
00:33:46Sea Mist will only sign
00:33:47with one partner
00:33:48in the next year.
00:33:49That spot,
00:33:50you'll have to fight
00:33:51for it yourselves.
00:33:52I have the strongest capital.
00:33:54That spot belongs to me.
00:33:55What can you offer
00:33:56besides money?
00:33:57I can provide the biggest
00:33:58advertising and sales channels.
00:34:00Get lost.
00:34:00This opportunity is mine.
00:34:06With the mayor's endorsement
00:34:07and the title
00:34:08of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:34:10Sea Mist was splattered
00:34:11all over countless posters.
00:34:14Customers poured into Sea Mist
00:34:15non-stop.
00:34:17Mia and I opened
00:34:18three more locations together.
00:34:20I never held back.
00:34:21I shared everything I knew.
00:34:23Sea Mist will always stand
00:34:24for healthy, delicious food.
00:34:33All those prepayments
00:34:34that should have gone
00:34:35into Iron Anchor's account,
00:34:36they were now flooding
00:34:37into mine instead.
00:34:39Oh my God,
00:34:40I can't believe my eyes.
00:34:42Grayson,
00:34:43in less than half an hour,
00:34:44the prepayments
00:34:45have already topped
00:34:46three million.
00:34:47We made it!
00:34:48Grayson,
00:34:49you deserve this.
00:34:50The restaurant industry
00:34:51doesn't need some performer
00:34:52who only knows how to lie.
00:34:54It needs craftsmen like you.
00:34:56People with soul
00:34:57when it comes to food.
00:34:59This is the contract
00:35:00for government catering
00:35:01for the next year.
00:35:05pleasure doing business
00:35:06with you.
00:35:07At that moment,
00:35:08Percy,
00:35:08his face caked with mud,
00:35:10pressed himself
00:35:11against the window
00:35:12like a ghost,
00:35:13watching me sign
00:35:14contract after contract,
00:35:16signing away millions
00:35:17of dollars.
00:35:17Furious,
00:35:18he tried to get in,
00:35:19but the security guard
00:35:21at the door
00:35:21shoved him back,
00:35:22sending him tumbling
00:35:23down the steps.
00:35:24Get out of my way!
00:35:25That bastard Grayson
00:35:27took everything from me!
00:35:28This was supposed
00:35:29to be mine!
00:35:30Move along!
00:35:31This is no place
00:35:31for a homeless guy!
00:35:33He was out there watching.
00:35:35I was in here sitting.
00:35:37That single pane of glass
00:35:39was the line
00:35:40between heaven and hell.
00:35:41He used to say
00:35:42that without him,
00:35:43I'd be begging
00:35:44for food in Chinatown.
00:35:45Now,
00:35:46he can't even get past
00:35:47the door of my restaurant.
00:35:50Grayson!
00:35:51You traitor!
00:35:56Percy was curled up
00:35:57next to a stinking dumpster.
00:35:59His $1,000 tuxedo
00:36:01was caked with grime.
00:36:03He was too afraid
00:36:04to go home,
00:36:05because all the partners
00:36:06he'd arrogantly signed
00:36:07with before
00:36:08were now turning on him
00:36:09after Iron Anchor
00:36:10got shut down.
00:36:11What awaited him
00:36:12was massive penalty fees
00:36:14and the fury
00:36:15of every single one
00:36:16of those partners.
00:36:22Hello?
00:36:23Boss,
00:36:24just give me
00:36:24a little more time.
00:36:25Time?
00:36:26Percy,
00:36:26your old frozen meat
00:36:28got my license revoked.
00:36:29According to the contract,
00:36:30you owe me triple the penalty.
00:36:32That's $2 million.
00:36:34If I don't see that money
00:36:35by tomorrow morning,
00:36:36you can go feed the fish
00:36:37in the Hudson River.
00:36:43Percy,
00:36:44this is James
00:36:44from Seafood Logistics.
00:36:46That industry benchmark
00:36:47prize you promised
00:36:47was total bullshit.
00:36:49I want my shipping fees
00:36:50and the $500,000 penalty.
00:36:51Transfer it now.
00:36:52Otherwise,
00:36:53I'm sending your address
00:36:54to every creditor
00:36:54in Manhattan.
00:36:56Percy pinned all his
00:36:57remaining hope
00:36:58on live streaming.
00:36:59He begged his viewers
00:37:00to send him money
00:37:01to save Iron Anchor.
00:37:02He made a complete
00:37:03fool of himself
00:37:04like a stray dog
00:37:05losing every shred
00:37:06of dignity.
00:37:07He did pathetic stunts.
00:37:08He even fought
00:37:09homeless people for food.
00:37:10You felled us garbage
00:37:11for so long.
00:37:12What right does an animal
00:37:13like you have
00:37:14to ask for our forgiveness?
00:37:15Report him.
00:37:16Make him disappear for good.
00:37:18No, no, no.
00:37:19If I hadn't skimped
00:37:20on that $90,000,
00:37:21if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:37:22that $6 million
00:37:23would have been mine.
00:37:24The mayor's praise
00:37:25would have been mine too.
00:37:26He finally understood.
00:37:28Losing me
00:37:28wasn't just losing
00:37:29a line cook.
00:37:30It was losing
00:37:31his only brain
00:37:32and his last chance
00:37:33to be a decent human being.
00:37:34The live stream ban
00:37:35was the final straw
00:37:36that broke Percy.
00:37:38He looked at
00:37:38Sea Mist Restaurant
00:37:39glowing with lights
00:37:41and finally broke down
00:37:42sobbing.
00:37:44I was wrong.
00:37:46Grayson,
00:37:47I was really wrong.
00:37:53Time to pay up.
00:37:57Hear my love.
00:38:07I took Mia out
00:38:09for a nice meal
00:38:09because we were
00:38:11so poor last year.
00:38:12I couldn't even feed
00:38:13my pregnant wife
00:38:14decent food
00:38:15more than a few times.
00:38:17Mia, thank you
00:38:18for everything
00:38:20these past three years.
00:38:22Grayson,
00:38:23I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:38:24A month ago,
00:38:25we were stressing
00:38:26over $500 in rent.
00:38:28Dreams end,
00:38:29but these numbers
00:38:31don't lie.
00:38:31Three days ago,
00:38:32I sat here
00:38:33watching Percy
00:38:33throw money around
00:38:34like it was nothing.
00:38:35Now,
00:38:36Sea Mist's
00:38:36weekly revenue alone
00:38:37equals his entire
00:38:38net profit
00:38:39from last year.
00:38:40Ones,
00:38:40tens,
00:38:41hundreds,
00:38:41thousands,
00:38:41tens of thousands.
00:38:42Grayson,
00:38:43the prepayments
00:38:44and net profit,
00:38:45it's over $6 million?
00:38:46That's just the first week.
00:38:47With the mayor's endorsement,
00:38:48every big name in New York,
00:38:50politicians,
00:38:51and socialettes alike
00:38:52is lining up.
00:38:53We're already booked
00:38:54through Christmas next year.
00:38:55We're rich.
00:38:56We can give our child
00:38:57the best education.
00:38:59We never have to live
00:39:00under Percy's thumb again.
00:39:01I looked at Mia's
00:39:02excited face.
00:39:03It warmed my heart.
00:39:05To the future.
00:39:07Cheers.
00:39:09And Percy,
00:39:10at that very moment,
00:39:11he was huddled
00:39:12next to a dumpster,
00:39:13gnawling on someone
00:39:14else's disparted bread.
00:39:19I moved Mia
00:39:20out of that tiny
00:39:20rental apartment
00:39:21and bought the best
00:39:22estate in the city.
00:39:23Mr.
00:39:24Going helipad
00:39:24and a top of the
00:39:25security system.
00:39:26Do you like it?
00:39:27The sunlight here
00:39:28is beautiful.
00:39:29Perfect for our kid
00:39:30to run around
00:39:30on the grass someday.
00:39:31I never imagined
00:39:32I'd live in a place
00:39:33like this someday.
00:39:34Grayson,
00:39:34this is too expensive.
00:39:36Mia,
00:39:36you deserve the best.
00:39:37Just sign it.
00:39:38This will be
00:39:38our family's safe haven.
00:39:40Now,
00:39:41I bought the estate
00:39:42that Percy
00:39:42never even dared
00:39:43to dream of
00:39:44stepping foot in.
00:39:45And him?
00:39:46He's hiding
00:39:47in some dark corner,
00:39:48running from the creditors.
00:39:50The soft opening
00:39:50of Seamist branch
00:39:51was a huge success.
00:39:52We can officially
00:39:53launch the expansion plan now.
00:39:55Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:39:56The top 10 commercial districts
00:39:57are all fighting
00:39:58for us to set up there.
00:39:59The contracts are ready.
00:40:00Tell them this.
00:40:01Seamist has only
00:40:02one standard.
00:40:03The finest ingredients,
00:40:04absolute transparency.
00:40:05Percy failed
00:40:06because he looked
00:40:07at his customers
00:40:07and saw cash cows.
00:40:09I succeeded
00:40:10because I treat food
00:40:11like a religion.
00:40:12Expanding the business
00:40:13isn't about hoarding money.
00:40:15It's about letting
00:40:15more people around the world
00:40:16enjoy this food.
00:40:18Grayson,
00:40:19we're really starting
00:40:20a new life.
00:40:23The first thing
00:40:24always wanted
00:40:24to take over for himself.
00:40:38Goodbye, Grayson.
00:40:39You made it.
00:40:41You goddamn piece of trash.
00:40:43You actually sold
00:40:44banned meat?
00:40:44Are you even human?
00:40:45Dad,
00:40:47I was just trying
00:40:48to make money.
00:40:49Who knew that ungrateful
00:40:50snake Grayson
00:40:51would turn on me?
00:40:52Turn on you?
00:40:52If it weren't for him,
00:40:54we'd all be in prison
00:40:55right now
00:40:55because of you.
00:40:57We have no place
00:40:58for a beast like you.
00:40:59I was tasting
00:41:00the finest wine
00:41:01in my estate.
00:41:02Percy was in that old house,
00:41:03taking the beating
00:41:04my parents should have
00:41:05given him long ago.
00:41:06He used to think
00:41:06he was the pride
00:41:07of the family.
00:41:08In truth,
00:41:08he was just a cowardly,
00:41:09rotten parasite.
00:41:10You're a monster!
00:41:11Get out!
00:41:12Stop hitting me!
00:41:14Grayson is loaded.
00:41:15He's got tens of millions now.
00:41:16Make him help me!
00:41:19You still have the nerve
00:41:21to mention him?
00:41:22When you paid him
00:41:232,000 bucks,
00:41:24did you ever stop
00:41:25to think he was
00:41:25your little brother?
00:41:26Get out!
00:41:27Go be a line cook
00:41:28out on the streets!
00:41:37His nightmare
00:41:38had only just begun.
00:41:49What happened at Iron Anchor
00:41:51was a misunderstanding.
00:41:52I already switched suppliers.
00:41:55Just lift the ban, please.
00:41:57Give me one more day.
00:41:59Mr. Percy,
00:42:00your restaurant
00:42:00is on the national blacklist now.
00:42:02Old frozen meat
00:42:04and formalide-laden decor?
00:42:05Those search terms
00:42:06are number one on Google.
00:42:07Stop wasting our time.
00:42:09Get out
00:42:09and don't bring
00:42:10that stench
00:42:10into our office.
00:42:12Reputation takes
00:42:13a year to build
00:42:14and one plate
00:42:14of rotten
00:42:15Otoro sushi
00:42:16to destroy.
00:42:22Lisa!
00:42:24Where are you going?
00:42:25My cards are frozen.
00:42:26You have to help me.
00:42:27Help you?
00:42:28Percy?
00:42:29Right now,
00:42:30you're worse
00:42:30than a homeless guy
00:42:31on the street.
00:42:32These bottles
00:42:33are my appearance fee
00:42:34for putting on that show
00:42:35with you for a year.
00:42:36Don't contact me again.
00:42:37I don't want
00:42:38creditors thinking
00:42:39I'm your partner.
00:42:40The love he was so proud of?
00:42:44It ran faster than anyone
00:42:46the moment Iron Anchor
00:42:47got shut down.
00:42:49That's my car!
00:42:50That's my money!
00:42:58Watching Percy fall apart
00:42:59like this,
00:43:00I couldn't help
00:43:01but feel grateful
00:43:02but feel grateful
00:43:02that the woman
00:43:03by my side is Mia.
00:43:07With nowhere left to go,
00:43:09Percy stole mom
00:43:10and dad's retirement savings
00:43:11and borrowed a huge
00:43:12junk of money
00:43:13from the neighbors.
00:43:14My parents called me
00:43:15to handle it.
00:43:16I bought the most
00:43:17expensive estate
00:43:18in Manhattan,
00:43:19a place with a garden
00:43:20bigger than
00:43:20Percy's entire restaurant.
00:43:22I brought Mia back here
00:43:23to show my parents
00:43:24that their younger son,
00:43:26the one they called
00:43:26just a line cook,
00:43:28was the true pride
00:43:29of the family.
00:43:32Mom,
00:43:33just $20,000!
00:43:35Give it to me
00:43:36and I'll pay you back
00:43:37ten times when I'm
00:43:38back on top!
00:43:38You animal!
00:43:39You stole the money
00:43:40mom needs for her
00:43:41heart surgery
00:43:41and you scamp the neighbors!
00:43:43We can't even show
00:43:43our faces outside anymore!
00:43:45Are you gonna drive us crazy?
00:43:46Grayson,
00:43:47you ungrateful snake!
00:43:48You live in a mansion
00:43:49where suits worth
00:43:50tens of thousands
00:43:51and you just watch
00:43:52your own brother die?
00:43:53Dad, mom,
00:43:54here are the keys
00:43:54to your new house,
00:43:55a villa I bought for you
00:43:56on the Upper East Side.
00:43:57It comes with the best
00:43:58in-home doctors.
00:44:00Percy,
00:44:00don't you dare use
00:44:01the word family
00:44:02to disgust me.
00:44:03The moment you stole
00:44:03their retirement money,
00:44:04you should have realized
00:44:05you're already out
00:44:06of this family.
00:44:10Money!
00:44:11That's mine!
00:44:13You owe me!
00:44:15This money is for
00:44:16the neighbors.
00:44:16As for you, Percy,
00:44:18you don't deserve
00:44:18to touch a single cent.
00:44:20I was wearing clothes
00:44:21he could never afford
00:44:21in his lifetime.
00:44:22I was standing
00:44:23at a height
00:44:23he would never reach
00:44:24and he was down
00:44:26on the ground
00:44:26like a dog
00:44:27finally realizing
00:44:28he had lost.
00:44:36Good morning,
00:44:37Mr. Grayson.
00:44:38Thank you for the jobs
00:44:39you've provided.
00:44:40Mr. Grayson,
00:44:41Seamist Restaurant
00:44:42is truly the pride
00:44:43of this entire street.
00:44:45A month ago,
00:44:46when I walked down
00:44:47this street,
00:44:47everyone looked at me
00:44:48like I was a joke.
00:44:49Now,
00:44:49I own half the storefronts
00:44:51on this block
00:44:51and the looks
00:44:52people give me
00:44:53have gone from contempt
00:44:54to respect.
00:44:55Suddenly,
00:44:56from the end
00:44:56of the street,
00:44:57a sharp scream
00:44:58cut through the air,
00:44:59followed by
00:44:59a sickening crunch.
00:45:01Two million
00:45:02in penalties!
00:45:03You promised
00:45:04to pay today!
00:45:04Where's the money?
00:45:09He's got money!
00:45:10That's my own brother!
00:45:11Go ask him!
00:45:12He could sneeze
00:45:13and have enough
00:45:13to pay you all off!
00:45:15A piece of trash
00:45:16like you
00:45:16dares to call him
00:45:17your brother?
00:45:17He just issued
00:45:18a statement in the paper!
00:45:19He's cutting all ties
00:45:20with you!
00:45:20No money, huh?
00:45:21Then we do it
00:45:22the old way.
00:45:22Let's start
00:45:23with two fingers.
00:45:30I took Mia's hand
00:45:31and stepped through
00:45:31the magnificent doors
00:45:32of Seamist Restaurant.
00:45:33Behind me,
00:45:34Percy's screams
00:45:35for help echoed
00:45:36as the debt cappers
00:45:37dragged him
00:45:37into the shadows.
00:45:38Please!
00:45:39Go tell those guys
00:45:41don't let any blood
00:45:42get spilled
00:45:42in front of my restaurant
00:45:43and make it quick.
00:45:45Yes,
00:45:45Mr. Grayson.
00:45:59From today on,
00:46:00Seamist is no longer
00:46:01just a restaurant.
00:46:02We're going to build
00:46:02the most legitimate
00:46:03food supply chain
00:46:04in this city.
00:46:05And the people on Surlate,
00:46:07if they're clean,
00:46:08no tricks,
00:46:09no dirt,
00:46:09I'll double their pay.
00:46:10Yes, Grayson!
00:46:12Grayson,
00:46:13congratulations
00:46:13on the new company.
00:46:15I left that loser
00:46:15Percy because I could
00:46:16see you were the real deal,
00:46:18the one who actually
00:46:19gets things done.
00:46:20Grayson,
00:46:21be a personal assistant.
00:46:22I know everything you like,
00:46:24just like I knew
00:46:24everything about Percy.
00:46:26Lisa,
00:46:26you sure knew Percy.
00:46:27You knew exactly
00:46:28how to kick him
00:46:29when he was down.
00:46:30And you know exactly
00:46:31how to crawl back
00:46:31like a parasite
00:46:32the second you smell money.
00:46:33Miss Lisa,
00:46:34Seamist doesn't need
00:46:35an assistant,
00:46:36but we are looking
00:46:36for a cleaner
00:46:37to take out the trash.
00:46:38But take a look
00:46:39at your clothes.
00:46:39I doubt you could
00:46:40even hold a rag,
00:46:41Stady.
00:46:41Get this piece
00:46:42of cheap perfumed
00:46:43garbage out of here.
00:46:44From today on,
00:46:45if she shows up
00:46:46within a kilometer
00:46:47of sea mist,
00:46:48call the cops immediately.
00:46:49Grayson,
00:46:50don't get cocky!
00:46:52You were just
00:46:52a line cook too!
00:46:56I watched her
00:46:57pathetic retreat.
00:46:58In the eyes
00:46:59of opportunists like her,
00:47:00every spot next to me
00:47:01has a price tag.
00:47:02But they don't know.
00:47:04Mia lived with me
00:47:05in that leaky
00:47:06rental apartment.
00:47:07I know for certain,
00:47:09she is the one
00:47:10and only love my life.
00:47:11Why do you keep
00:47:12staring at me?
00:47:16Mia,
00:47:18I think I owe you
00:47:19a grand wedding.
00:47:27I owe you a grand wedding.
00:47:33Mr. Grayson,
00:47:34do you take Mia
00:47:35to be your wife,
00:47:37to cherish her
00:47:38in both poverty
00:47:38and wealth?
00:47:39I do.
00:47:42Today,
00:47:43all those wealthy
00:47:44socialettes
00:47:45who used to mock us
00:47:46as the poor couple
00:47:47are sitting right there
00:47:49in the audience,
00:47:50applauding us
00:47:51with the most
00:47:51flattering cheers.
00:47:53This is the coronation
00:47:54I promised my wife.
00:47:59Save me!
00:48:00The debt collures
00:48:01broke my fingers!
00:48:01I'm in the alley
00:48:02right outside the church.
00:48:03Please,
00:48:04just give me 50,000
00:48:05one last time.
00:48:08Is it him?
00:48:17Someone who doesn't matter.
00:48:19He doesn't get
00:48:20to disturb our wedding.
00:48:21I'm not going to pile on
00:48:22someone already down.
00:48:24Not out of mercy.
00:48:25He's just not worth my time.
00:48:27But I'm not a pushover either.
00:48:29Kindness needs teeth
00:48:31or it means nothing.
00:48:41That was mine.
00:48:43That should have been mine.
00:48:44That six million dollars,
00:48:46the fame,
00:48:47the woman,
00:48:47all of it was mine.
00:48:49I bought the most
00:48:50expensive billboard
00:48:51in Times Square
00:48:52and played my wedding
00:48:53video on loop.
00:48:54Percy watched
00:48:55the screen in fury.
00:48:56Percy,
00:48:57your big shot brother
00:48:58already said
00:48:58he's stripping you
00:48:59of his last name.
00:49:00You don't even have
00:49:00a surname anymore now.
00:49:02He's got money.
00:49:03He's got billions.
00:49:04Go kill him.
00:49:05Kill him and all that money
00:49:06becomes mine.
00:49:07Kill him?
00:49:08Grayson is the mayor's
00:49:09right-hand band now.
00:49:10He's got thousands
00:49:11of bodyguards.
00:49:12But you,
00:49:13your eyeballs
00:49:14are worth something.
00:49:15How about we take them
00:49:15as interest first?
00:49:19Grayson,
00:49:20you think you've won?
00:49:22Your woman's about
00:49:22to give birth, right?
00:49:24You're going to regret this.
00:49:25I'm going to destroy
00:49:26your happiness
00:49:27completely.
00:49:28I thought he would
00:49:29just wither away
00:49:30in his despair.
00:49:32I underestimated
00:49:33how deeply greed
00:49:34and jealousy
00:49:35can twist when
00:49:35they're pushing in on me.
00:49:45Grayson,
00:49:46you live in a mansion
00:49:48worth thousands
00:49:48of square feet
00:49:49and you're going to
00:49:50let me freeze
00:49:51to death out here?
00:49:52Grayson,
00:49:53you know,
00:49:53he is your own brother.
00:49:54Can't you give him
00:49:55one more chance?
00:49:56A year ago,
00:49:56Percy was throwing money
00:49:58around at Iron Anchor
00:49:59while mom and dad
00:50:00lived in that
00:50:00leaky old house.
00:50:01He never once
00:50:02mentioned family.
00:50:03Now that he's drowning,
00:50:04he's using our elderly
00:50:05parents to play
00:50:06the guilt card.
00:50:07That kind of guilt
00:50:08is disgusting to me
00:50:10even more than
00:50:10that plate of
00:50:12Rottenhotosushi.
00:50:17brother,
00:50:18save me.
00:50:19Just transfer
00:50:1910%
00:50:21of CMIS shares
00:50:22to me
00:50:23and the creditors
00:50:24will leave me alone.
00:50:25Mom and dad,
00:50:25please say something
00:50:26for me.
00:50:28Grayson,
00:50:28those deck cleapers
00:50:29are beating
00:50:29Percy half to death.
00:50:31He still has
00:50:31the strength to beg.
00:50:33He still has
00:50:33the strength
00:50:33to come here.
00:50:34He's perfectly capable
00:50:35of pulling himself
00:50:36out of this mess.
00:50:38You cold-blooded freak!
00:50:47You tried to hurt
00:50:49your own little brother?
00:50:50You wanted me to help.
00:50:52He never once
00:50:53thought of us as family.
00:50:57I never kick a man
00:50:58when he's down,
00:50:59but I will not
00:51:00repay evil with kindness.
00:51:03In that moment,
00:51:04his last family card
00:51:06was burned to ash
00:51:07by my own hand.
00:51:09You animal!
00:51:10Now we only have
00:51:11one son, Grayson!
00:51:13Don't you ever show
00:51:13your face in front
00:51:14of us again!
00:51:15No, no, no!
00:51:17Mom!
00:51:18Dad!
00:51:18No, no, Mom!
00:51:20No!
00:51:21Dad!
00:51:25That hopeless bastard.
00:51:27Grayson,
00:51:28it was our fault
00:51:29for asking you
00:51:29to help him.
00:51:31Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:51:33Mr. Grayson,
00:51:34it's bad.
00:51:35While your parents
00:51:36were asleep,
00:51:36a man claiming
00:51:37to be their son
00:51:38forced his way in
00:51:39and took their bags.
00:51:40That animal?
00:51:41Those bags had
00:51:42Mom and Dad's
00:51:43life savings.
00:51:44They're only
00:51:44retirement money.
00:51:47I thought Percy
00:51:48would just crawl
00:51:49into some corner
00:51:50and wait to die
00:51:51after being exposed.
00:51:52I underestimated
00:51:53how desperate
00:51:54a gambler
00:51:55with nothing left
00:51:55to loss can become.
00:52:02He didn't steal
00:52:03that money
00:52:03to pay off his debts.
00:52:04He stole it
00:52:05to feed his delusional
00:52:06dream of a comeback.
00:52:10Grayson,
00:52:11we found him.
00:52:12Percy is hooked up
00:52:13with an underground
00:52:14factory in Brooklyn.
00:52:15They produce illegal
00:52:16chemical flavorings
00:52:17that are highly addictive.
00:52:18He's trying to use
00:52:19those poisons
00:52:19to copy sea mist's taste
00:52:21and force his way
00:52:21back into the market.
00:52:22For a little money,
00:52:23he's willing to do
00:52:24something like this?
00:52:37Get the best medical team
00:52:39in the country.
00:52:3924-hour care
00:52:40for Mom and Dad.
00:52:41Do whatever it takes
00:52:42to keep them
00:52:43from finding out
00:52:43what that bastard
00:52:44Percy has done.
00:52:45As for Percy,
00:52:46I'm going to make him pay.
00:52:49Before,
00:52:49I just wanted to see him
00:52:51broken on the streets.
00:52:52Now,
00:52:52I'm going to take him
00:52:54out myself.
00:53:01Talk!
00:53:02What did that
00:53:03ungrateful bastard
00:53:04give you?
00:53:04How dare you call him
00:53:06the most conscientious
00:53:07chef in Manhattan
00:53:08on livestream?
00:53:09He was about to
00:53:10pass out from hunger
00:53:11and I gave him
00:53:12a burger.
00:53:13He's a good man.
00:53:14You're the real demon.
00:53:17A good man?
00:53:19I'll break the hand
00:53:20that fed him.
00:53:21You're the real demon.
00:53:26Percy, go ahead.
00:53:28Touch that hand
00:53:28and see what happens.
00:53:30Grayson!
00:53:31You think just because
00:53:32you're some big shot
00:53:33now you're untouchable?
00:53:35This old man insulted me.
00:53:36I'll kill him!
00:53:41My hand!
00:53:42Grayson,
00:53:43you crazy bastard!
00:53:44That one's for the burger.
00:53:47My rule is simple.
00:53:49A kindness,
00:53:50I return it tenfold.
00:53:51A slight,
00:53:52I break the bone
00:53:53and from that
00:53:54delivered it.
00:53:58Sir,
00:53:59an apartment on the
00:54:00Upper East Side
00:54:01and a restaurant
00:54:02on Sorelli Street.
00:54:04They're yours now.
00:54:05Mr. Grayson,
00:54:08this is too much.
00:54:11This is nothing
00:54:12next to that burger
00:54:12you gave me back then.
00:54:14Percy lay there
00:54:15in the filthy water
00:54:16watching the trash
00:54:17he'd just been kicked
00:54:18suddenly become
00:54:19a property owner
00:54:19he'd only ever dreamt.
00:54:21Jealousy and pain
00:54:22drove the happy side.
00:54:29You just wait!
00:54:32While I sat atop
00:54:34Seamist restaurant
00:54:35enjoying the rich aroma
00:54:36of premium wagyu,
00:54:38Percy was hiding
00:54:39in the stinking alleys
00:54:40of the slums
00:54:41trying to make
00:54:42his last desperate comeback.
00:54:47You see in this?
00:54:49This is what
00:54:49real charity looks like.
00:54:51Seamist charges
00:54:52thousands for one meal.
00:54:54That's robbery.
00:54:55My bliss box
00:54:56is only $9.99.
00:54:59$9.99.
00:55:00Get it while it lasts!
00:55:02You losers!
00:55:04Eat it or don't,
00:55:05I don't care!
00:55:06Once I save up enough
00:55:07to buy out the Seamist,
00:55:08you could beg for it
00:55:09on your knees!
00:55:09Get lost!
00:55:10All of you haters,
00:55:12get lost!
00:55:13He had become
00:55:14a complete outcast,
00:55:16despised by the entire internet.
00:55:17He was poisoning
00:55:18those poor people,
00:55:20using that nerve-destroying
00:55:21addictive flavoring
00:55:22to make money,
00:55:23dreaming of making a comeback.
00:55:24He was night.
00:55:25The foundation of business
00:55:27has never been
00:55:27violent addiction.
00:55:28It's absolute control
00:55:30over the global supply chain.
00:55:37Grayson,
00:55:38you came to laugh
00:55:39at me?
00:55:40Look!
00:55:40Look at all these people
00:55:42in line!
00:55:42My capital is doubling!
00:55:44Soon I'll be able
00:55:45to buy out
00:55:46your fake little restaurant!
00:55:47What have you got
00:55:48to fight me with?
00:55:50In Seamist Group's name,
00:55:52inform the Global Spice Association.
00:55:54From this moment on,
00:55:55whoever sells
00:55:55one gram of spice
00:55:56to any factory
00:55:57connected to Percy
00:55:58will be permanently erased
00:55:59from the global supply chain.
00:56:00Spice?
00:56:00I've got money,
00:56:01you idiot!
00:56:02I'll just buy some
00:56:03from Chinatown!
00:56:04Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:08What?
00:56:09Not just the big suppliers?
00:56:10Even the small workshops
00:56:12are cancelling?
00:56:12They're demanding
00:56:13triple the refund?
00:56:14Without spice,
00:56:15I can't cover up
00:56:16the bitterness
00:56:16of all that expired
00:56:17rotten meat!
00:56:18Hello?
00:56:18Percy,
00:56:19without fire and salt,
00:56:20you can't even cook
00:56:21a plate of garbage.
00:56:23I cut off
00:56:24his last lifeline.
00:56:33Leo,
00:56:34you're the person
00:56:35Grayson trusts the most.
00:56:36Just put one drop
00:56:37of this vial
00:56:38into his tuna.
00:56:39This five million
00:56:40and shares
00:56:41in the new company.
00:56:42It's all yours.
00:56:44Five million.
00:56:45Gotta admit,
00:56:46that's tempting.
00:56:47Ha ha ha ha!
00:56:48Good!
00:56:48That arrogant bastard,
00:56:50Grayson,
00:56:50he never imagined
00:56:51he'd be betrayed
00:56:52by someone
00:56:52he saved!
00:56:54Percy,
00:56:55looks like you forgot.
00:56:56Leo was about
00:56:57to go under,
00:56:58and I'm the one
00:56:58who pulled him out.
00:56:59Your filthy money
00:57:00couldn't even buy back
00:57:01the life I saved
00:57:03for him back then.
00:57:04When I save someone,
00:57:05loyalty is in their blood.
00:57:08Percy's blood?
00:57:09It's pure,
00:57:10rotting greed.
00:57:12Trying to buy loyalty
00:57:13with filthy garbage
00:57:14like that
00:57:14is basically him
00:57:15executing whatever
00:57:16intelligence he had left.
00:57:19Tell me,
00:57:20if you drank that stuff
00:57:22you hooked up yourself,
00:57:23what do you think
00:57:23would happen?
00:57:25No.
00:57:27No.
00:57:28Grayson,
00:57:28I'm your own brother.
00:57:30Don't kill me!
00:57:32Kill you?
00:57:33That would dirty
00:57:34my basement.
00:57:37Send him back,
00:57:38crawling in the mud.
00:57:40That's the only thing
00:57:40that suits him.
00:57:41He took a step
00:57:42against me,
00:57:43so I'll make sure
00:57:43he never walks
00:57:44straight again.
00:57:45His dignity?
00:57:46I've stomped it
00:57:47straight into the gutter.
00:57:51Starting today,
00:57:53the Sea Mist Group
00:57:54is acquiring
00:57:54every last shop
00:57:56on Surla Street.
00:57:57All of you
00:57:57who didn't follow Percy
00:57:58when he was doing
00:57:59his dirty work,
00:58:00you each receive
00:58:01a 5%
00:58:02in the original shares.
00:58:06I came back
00:58:07to rebuild,
00:58:08not to take revenge.
00:58:10I wanted these
00:58:11honest people to know,
00:58:12follow Grayson,
00:58:13and even a vegetable seller
00:58:15can stand tall
00:58:16and make money
00:58:17right here in Manhattan.
00:58:22Hurry up.
00:58:23Just give me some bread.
00:58:24I'm starving.
00:58:25Here.
00:58:26Mr. Grayson
00:58:27specifically asked
00:58:27for this,
00:58:28for some special people.
00:58:30Three-day-old
00:58:31stale ends.
00:58:34I watched him.
00:58:37He once wanted
00:58:38to starve me.
00:58:40Now,
00:58:41he's only breathing
00:58:42because I choose
00:58:43to throw him scraps.
00:58:46Percy,
00:58:47you're not off
00:58:47the hook yet.
00:58:48That illegal
00:58:49factory's poison?
00:58:51Time for you
00:58:52to take a sip yourself.
00:58:58Everyone,
00:58:59see this restaurant's
00:59:00so-called
00:59:01natural ingredients
00:59:02are nothing but
00:59:03a lie for the rich.
00:59:04Today,
00:59:05I'm going to expose
00:59:06Grayson's crimes,
00:59:07monopolizing spices,
00:59:09and driving up prices.
00:59:13Our tech-based food
00:59:15costs only 1%
00:59:16of sea mistis,
00:59:17but tastes
00:59:18exactly the same.
00:59:19Grayson's era
00:59:20is over!
00:59:22I saw Percy's
00:59:23little circus act
00:59:24on the screen
00:59:25and it did nothing to me.
00:59:26He's cozying up
00:59:27to those drug manufacturers
00:59:28who skate just inside the law
00:59:29trying to define
00:59:30great food
00:59:30with cheap-muckle garbage.
00:59:31He doesn't understand.
00:59:33Real top-tier ingredients
00:59:34are a gift
00:59:34from the earth
00:59:35and the sun,
00:59:35not some molecular
00:59:36arrangement in a lab.
00:59:42Today,
00:59:43the sea mist group
00:59:43will roll out
00:59:44the global
00:59:44restaurant platinum standard.
00:59:47Any restaurant
00:59:47that does not meet
00:59:48the natural supply chain audit
00:59:49will be removed
00:59:50from the global
00:59:51procurement
00:59:51whilepist for good.
00:59:55Mr. Grayson's proposal
00:59:56is a beacon
00:59:57for the restaurant industry
00:59:58and we support it
01:00:00100%.
01:00:01While Percy was still
01:00:02in that dark little corner
01:00:04trying to smear my name,
01:00:05I was at the top
01:00:07of the food chain
01:00:07rewriting the rules
01:00:09of the game.
01:00:10He thinks he's competing
01:00:11with me.
01:00:12The truth is,
01:00:14he's just swarming
01:00:15between my fingers.
01:00:17Ah!
01:00:17This is impossible!
01:00:19Why would the WTO
01:00:20stand up for a guy
01:00:21who used to be
01:00:21a line cook?
01:00:24Leo,
01:00:25tell the people
01:00:25next door
01:00:26that my press conference
01:00:27is over.
01:00:28Now,
01:00:29it's time
01:00:30to take out the trap.
01:00:38Grayson!
01:00:39This is illegal entry!
01:00:41My tech food
01:00:42is the future
01:00:43of the industry!
01:00:44The future
01:00:44of the industry?
01:00:45This chemical waste
01:00:47that makes people
01:00:47hallucinate?
01:00:49This bowl of plain
01:00:50kanji,
01:00:51made simply with rice
01:00:52from the 40th parallel north
01:00:53and spring water
01:00:54from Crimea.
01:00:55Judges, please.
01:00:58This is the taste
01:01:00of a mother's cooking.
01:01:01This is the pure
01:01:02warmth of the earth.
01:01:03Today,
01:01:03I destroyed all his
01:01:04hypocrisy and arrogance
01:01:05with a single bowl
01:01:06of plain kanji.
01:01:07A true master chef
01:01:08doesn't need
01:01:08complex recipes.
01:01:10All he needs
01:01:10is a heart
01:01:11that respects nature.
01:01:12Percy's lab-made
01:01:13perfect flavor?
01:01:14Compared to the real deal,
01:01:15it's just a toxic fraud.
01:01:16This is the molecular
01:01:18formula for your
01:01:19synthetic meat.
01:01:21There's a high dose
01:01:22of neural blockers
01:01:23in this.
01:01:24Keep eating it
01:01:24and you'll go crazy.
01:01:26Percy,
01:01:27this isn't cooking.
01:01:28It's straight-up murder!
01:01:31Murderer!
01:01:32Get out of Manhattan!
01:01:33Go to hell,
01:01:34you piece of trash!
01:01:36No, no,
01:01:36this isn't true!
01:01:37Grayson,
01:01:38you're setting me up!
01:01:39Percy,
01:01:39the moment you decided
01:01:40to poison the world
01:01:41with your drugs,
01:01:41the gates of hell
01:01:42were already open for you.
01:01:48Percy knelt on the ground,
01:01:49covered in filth,
01:01:50clinging to his father's legs
01:01:52and wailing.
01:01:52His illegal lab
01:01:53had just been raided
01:01:54by the police.
01:01:55He was now a wanted criminal
01:01:56across the country.
01:01:57Dad, Mom,
01:01:58save me!
01:01:59Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:02:01He's gonna throw me
01:02:02into the meat-grander
01:02:03with all those creditors!
01:02:06Percy!
01:02:08You are still
01:02:09my eldest son
01:02:10after all.
01:02:16Grayson,
01:02:17could you maybe...
01:02:23Mom,
01:02:23even now,
01:02:24you still think
01:02:24he just made a mistake?
01:02:26The first one.
01:02:27This is the pension
01:02:27transfer authorization
01:02:28he personally signed
01:02:29while you were both
01:02:30in the hospital.
01:02:31The second one,
01:02:32this is the contract
01:02:33where he mortgaged
01:02:33this family home
01:02:34to underground loan sharks
01:02:35behind your backs.
01:02:40You animal!
01:02:41You even stole
01:02:42our funeral fund!
01:02:43Do you want the two of us
01:02:43to die on the street?
01:02:45Dad,
01:02:45I was trying to make
01:02:45a comeback!
01:02:46Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:02:47I could buy you
01:02:47a hundred penthouses!
01:02:48Go.
01:02:49Just go, Percy.
01:02:50I don't have a son
01:02:52like you anymore.
01:02:54Percy,
01:02:54the biggest mistake
01:02:55you ever made
01:02:56was treating everyone
01:02:57around you
01:02:58as sacrificial lambs
01:03:00for your own success.
01:03:02Starting today,
01:03:03you are out
01:03:03of this family.
01:03:05Percy,
01:03:06do you remember
01:03:06what you said?
01:03:07That one of us
01:03:08would take over the world
01:03:09and the other
01:03:09would fade into obscurity?
01:03:11I'm gonna make sure
01:03:11you watch me
01:03:12take over the world.
01:03:13Grayson!
01:03:14You goddamn bastard!
01:03:19Grayson,
01:03:20you said you wanted
01:03:21to settle family out.
01:03:22Counts on this day
01:03:23if you don't have
01:03:24solid evidence.
01:03:25You know the consequences.
01:03:27The Thorn family rule
01:03:28is pragmatism,
01:03:30but in this man's hands,
01:03:32rules are just a cover-up
01:03:33for his greed.
01:03:34A year ago,
01:03:35Percy stood at a family gathering
01:03:36and mocked these hands of mine,
01:03:38saying they were only good
01:03:39for holding a kitchen knife.
01:03:40Today,
01:03:40I'm not just taking back
01:03:41my dignity.
01:03:42I'm tearing apart his lies
01:03:43with my own hands.
01:03:44He thought being family
01:03:46would save him,
01:03:47like a free pass.
01:03:48What he didn't know
01:03:49is that before absolute rules,
01:03:50every single betrayal
01:03:51comes with a price.
01:03:53First crime,
01:03:54exploitation.
01:03:55In the three years
01:03:55at Iron Anchor,
01:03:56he withheld $90,000
01:03:57of my front propurekin payment
01:03:58and treated me
01:03:59like cheap liber.
01:04:00Second crime,
01:04:01poisoning.
01:04:02He colluded with chemical companies
01:04:03and added nerve-blocking agents
01:04:04to the ingredients.
01:04:05This is a direct assault
01:04:06on the hundred-year reputation.
01:04:08Third crime,
01:04:09attempted murder.
01:04:10He tried to attack
01:04:11and harm me.
01:04:13You animal!
01:04:14You dared to harm
01:04:16your own brother?
01:04:17Fourth crime,
01:04:18and the most unforgivable one,
01:04:20embezzlement.
01:04:21While our parents
01:04:21were in the hospital,
01:04:22he stole their pension
01:04:23and mortgaged the family home.
01:04:25He tried to push
01:04:26the very people
01:04:26who raised him
01:04:27into the Hudson River.
01:04:28No,
01:04:29that was all for business.
01:04:30Grayson,
01:04:31you're insane.
01:04:32Evidence is cold,
01:04:33but people's hearts are hot.
01:04:34The moment those four crimes
01:04:35came together,
01:04:36to these elders,
01:04:37he was no longer
01:04:37the hope of the family.
01:04:38He was a rotting sword
01:04:39that had to be cut out.
01:04:40You worthless bastard!
01:04:41What do you have to say
01:04:42for yourself?
01:04:49Elder,
01:04:50even if I was wrong,
01:04:51I'm the only business genius
01:04:52in this family.
01:04:53Grayson is just a cook.
01:04:54He can't protect
01:04:55the family's legacy.
01:04:56A business genius?
01:04:58Parsi,
01:04:59all your so-called management
01:05:00is just chasing
01:05:01internet fame
01:05:02while clinging
01:05:02to the dying
01:05:03Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:05:08This is CMIST Group's
01:05:09valuation.
01:05:11$100 billion.
01:05:12I don't just control
01:05:13one-third of the
01:05:14top-tier supply gen.
01:05:15I also have the
01:05:16industry medal
01:05:17personally awarded
01:05:17by the World Trade Organization.
01:05:19I wasn't showing them money,
01:05:20but absolute dominance.
01:05:22In this world,
01:05:22capital speaks,
01:05:23and the highest level
01:05:24of capital,
01:05:25it makes people kneel.
01:05:26Percy thought he was
01:05:27running a business.
01:05:28Me?
01:05:28I'm running an era.
01:05:29When I spread out
01:05:30these reports enough
01:05:30to buy half of New York,
01:05:32his pathetic little assets
01:05:33wouldn't even be enough
01:05:33to pay my taxes.
01:05:35One-
01:05:36100 billion?
01:05:38Grayson,
01:05:38you did this in just
01:05:39one year?
01:05:40Please, Mr. Grayson,
01:05:41take your place
01:05:42as the head of the family.
01:05:43That's mine!
01:05:44That was supposed
01:05:45to be mine!
01:05:46Grayson,
01:05:47what right do you have,
01:05:48you lowly line cook?
01:05:49Percy,
01:05:50take a good look.
01:05:51In this world,
01:05:52the strong make the rules.
01:05:54The weak
01:05:55just wait to die.
01:05:57I stand at the summit,
01:05:58looking down at him.
01:05:59He once wanted me to kneel.
01:06:01Now,
01:06:02he wasn't even worthy
01:06:03to lift his head
01:06:04and look at me.
01:06:12Thorne Percy,
01:06:13from this moment on,
01:06:14you no longer carry
01:06:15the Thorne name.
01:06:16You are out of this family.
01:06:18No,
01:06:19you can't tear it!
01:06:20I am a Thorne!
01:06:21I have Thorne blood
01:06:22running through my veins!
01:06:23Without the family,
01:06:23the creditors would tear
01:06:24Percy to pieces.
01:06:25I knew that,
01:06:26and I didn't help it.
01:06:28Percy,
01:06:28the moment you stole
01:06:29your mum and dad's pension,
01:06:30you had no blood relation left.
01:06:31I watched that page
01:06:32get consumed by the flames,
01:06:33turning to ash.
01:06:34In Thorne family tradition,
01:06:35being expelled
01:06:36means social death.
01:06:37From now on,
01:06:37he is no one's son,
01:06:38no one's brother.
01:06:39As a nameless nobody
01:06:40in the filthiest sewers,
01:06:41he will pay back
01:06:41every blood bet he owed.
01:06:43I want you to live
01:06:45as a man with no name.
01:06:47Grayson!
01:06:48You bastard!
01:06:50Without my hundred thousand dollars,
01:06:52you'd still be a cockroach
01:06:54in the gutter!
01:06:54A pathetic,
01:06:56lowly line cook!
01:07:05From this day forward,
01:07:07the Thorne family
01:07:07has no Percy.
01:07:09I looked up at the skyscrapers
01:07:10in the distance.
01:07:18No money.
01:07:20Then pay with your life.
01:07:21The Thorne family
01:07:23has already thrown you
01:07:24away like garbage.
01:07:25Right now,
01:07:26you're worse than
01:07:27the rats this alley.
01:07:31Please,
01:07:32just give me one more day.
01:07:34Just one day.
01:07:35Grayson has money.
01:07:37He has hundreds of billions.
01:07:39He could pluck a hair
01:07:40off his body
01:07:41and it would be enough
01:07:42to pay you all back.
01:07:47In Manhattan,
01:07:48the highest form of rejection
01:07:49isn't insults.
01:07:50It's silence.
01:07:51Right now,
01:07:52I'm sitting within arm rage
01:07:53of him,
01:07:53but I can't even be bothered
01:07:55to lift a finger.
01:07:56The moment he stole
01:07:57our parents' last bit
01:07:58of survival money,
01:07:58he lost even the right
01:07:59to die inside my thoughts.
01:08:01Grayson!
01:08:02My good little brother!
01:08:04Save me!
01:08:05They want my organs!
01:08:06They're gonna chop me up
01:08:07and feed me to the fish!
01:08:08Give me a million!
01:08:09No,
01:08:09five hundred thousand!
01:08:10Just that much!
01:08:27Percy used to say
01:08:28that money
01:08:29was the only true faith
01:08:30in this world.
01:08:32Since he loves money so much,
01:08:33I'll let him feel
01:08:34what it's like
01:08:35when that money
01:08:35becomes a pile of stones
01:08:37crushing his spine.
01:08:46Percy!
01:08:46This is the money
01:08:47you owe us!
01:08:48The price of our sweat!
01:08:49Our blood!
01:08:50Take these bills
01:08:51and crawl back
01:08:52to your hell!
01:09:00Money!
01:09:01My money!
01:09:03Grayson,
01:09:04you finally gave me money!
01:09:05I win!
01:09:07Percy,
01:09:07take a good look.
01:09:09The thing you treat
01:09:10as your religion,
01:09:11to me,
01:09:11is just spare change
01:09:13for trash.
01:09:16I used to be
01:09:17a line cook
01:09:17worth only $2,000.
01:09:20Now I've made him
01:09:21understand.
01:09:21In front of absolute skill
01:09:23and absolute rules,
01:09:24all a greedy man
01:09:25will ever get
01:09:26is a pile of worthless paper.
01:09:39Listen up, everyone.
01:09:41From today on,
01:09:42there's only one standard
01:09:43on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:09:45The Sea Mist
01:09:46Ethical Chef Standard.
01:09:50Any chef who makes it
01:09:51onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:09:52I will personally vouch
01:09:53for their professional integrity.
01:09:54In return,
01:09:55Sea Mist guarantees
01:09:56their salary will double.
01:09:57But if anyone dares
01:09:58to put even one gram
01:09:59of dirty ingredients
01:10:00into their food,
01:10:00I promise you,
01:10:01they will never have the chance
01:10:02to pick up a pair
01:10:03of chopsticks again.
01:10:08Grayson,
01:10:08you're absolutely right.
01:10:09Now that you've laid down
01:10:10the rules,
01:10:11none of us would dare
01:10:12to think otherwise.
01:10:13We'll do everything
01:10:14according to Sea Mist rules.
01:10:24Joss,
01:10:25Grayson asked me
01:10:26to tell you something.
01:10:28Since you loved
01:10:29helping Percy handle
01:10:30all that rotten,
01:10:31dirty meat back in the day,
01:10:33you can take on
01:10:34the dirtiest,
01:10:35most disgusting jobs
01:10:36all by yourself
01:10:37for the rest of your life.
01:10:40Grayson!
01:10:41I really know
01:10:42I was wrong.
01:10:43I was just
01:10:44following orders.
01:10:46Please,
01:10:47let me go back
01:10:49to cutting vegetables.
01:10:50I don't even need money.
01:10:52Just let me back
01:10:53into a kitchen.
01:10:58Go back
01:10:59to cutting vegetables?
01:11:00Joss,
01:11:01you're way too naive.
01:11:02You've been blacklisted
01:11:03by the entire restaurant,
01:11:04industry.
01:11:05No!
01:11:17New York is just
01:11:18the beginning.
01:11:23Grayson,
01:11:24look how soundly
01:11:25the baby is sleeping.
01:11:27He's going to inherit
01:11:28everything I've built.
01:11:36Try this.
01:11:42I've given Mia
01:11:43the most precious
01:11:44love in the world
01:11:46because she was there
01:11:47for me when the road
01:11:48was darkest.
01:11:50This single piece
01:11:51of satimi
01:11:52is worth a fortune,
01:11:54but it still can't compare
01:11:55to the hug
01:11:55she gave me back then.
01:11:57That was mine.
01:11:58That should have
01:11:59been my spot.
01:12:01Leo,
01:12:03the flies outside
01:12:04are too noisy.
01:12:05clean them up.
01:12:10On opposite sides
01:12:11of a fence,
01:12:13worlds apart.
01:12:25Grayson,
01:12:25I knew it.
01:12:26I knew you
01:12:27would come back.
01:12:28Professor,
01:12:29if it weren't
01:12:30for that hard bread
01:12:31you gave me back then,
01:12:32I wouldn't have made it
01:12:33until Sea Mist opened.
01:12:34On behalf of the
01:12:35Sea Mist group,
01:12:36I am donating
01:12:36$10 billion,
01:12:38not just for the school,
01:12:39but to honor
01:12:39Professor Smith's
01:12:40craftsmanship.
01:12:43Grayson,
01:12:44does the Research Institute
01:12:45need any logistics staff?
01:12:46We haven't been doing well
01:12:47these past few years.
01:12:48For old times' sake,
01:12:49I remember you.
01:12:50You said back then
01:12:51that I was only fit
01:12:52to clean your toilets.
01:12:53That was a joke.
01:12:55Grayson,
01:12:55we'd take any job,
01:12:56even a janitor
01:12:57at the Research Institute.
01:12:59Tell HR
01:13:00every single position
01:13:01at the Research Institute
01:13:01from security
01:13:02to cleaning staff
01:13:03to the guys mowing the lawn
01:13:04I have to interview them personally.
01:13:05I watched the fear
01:13:06and greed in their eyes
01:13:07and I felt nothing.
01:13:08Class,
01:13:08it used to be their weapon
01:13:10for bullying me.
01:13:11Now,
01:13:11it's my shackles
01:13:12for judging them.
01:13:19Sir,
01:13:19I used to run a restaurant.
01:13:21I know a lot
01:13:22about trash sorting.
01:13:23Please,
01:13:24just give me a job
01:13:25so I can eat.
01:13:25Alert.
01:13:26Blacklisted individual detected.
01:13:27Persing.
01:13:28Permission level
01:13:29permanently banned.
01:13:33Get lost!
01:13:34Every single
01:13:35business under sea mist,
01:13:37even our trash dump
01:13:38won't take scum like you.
01:13:44Grayson!
01:13:45You can't do this to me!
01:13:47I'm your own brother!
01:13:49I bought up
01:13:50all the trash processing rights
01:13:51in Manhattan,
01:13:52not just for the monopoly,
01:13:53but to make sure
01:13:54certain scumbags
01:13:55have nowhere left
01:13:56to hide in this city.
01:13:57He once said
01:13:58I was a line cook
01:13:59who could be replaced
01:13:59by any homeless guy
01:14:00off the street.
01:14:01Now,
01:14:02he doesn't even qualify
01:14:03to be a sorter.
01:14:05The AI recognition
01:14:05system upgrade
01:14:07looks good.
01:14:07Give the tech department
01:14:09a bonus.
01:14:10The struggles
01:14:11of a clown like this
01:14:12aren't even worth
01:14:12a second of my anger anymore.
01:14:14His misery is just
01:14:15background noise
01:14:16on my way to the top.
01:14:30In the old era
01:14:30of the food industry,
01:14:31the exploiters believed
01:14:32that as long as
01:14:33they controlled the capital,
01:14:34they could run over skill
01:14:35and destroy a chef's soul.
01:14:36But the rise of sea mist
01:14:37is here to tell
01:14:38everyone in this room,
01:14:39I am rewriting the rules.
01:14:40The exploiters will eventually
01:14:41be abandoned by the times,
01:14:42but the craftsmen
01:14:43who protect the soul,
01:14:44they will be crowned kings.
01:14:45I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:14:47I was declaring war
01:14:48on this cold-blooded world
01:14:49of capital.
01:14:50A year ago,
01:14:51they were Percy's guests
01:14:52of honor,
01:14:52laughing as I got thrown
01:14:53out on my ass.
01:14:54Today,
01:14:55with sea mist standards,
01:14:57I've put a shackle
01:14:57called conscience
01:14:58around every single
01:14:59one of their necks.
01:15:00Grayson,
01:15:01sea mist group's valuation
01:15:02can no longer be measured
01:15:02by money.
01:15:03What is your next goal?
01:15:04My goal is to make sure
01:15:05there is no more soil
01:15:05in this world
01:15:06for a cancer like Percy to grow.
01:15:07I saw it
01:15:08in the eyes of those tycoons
01:15:09who once seemed untouchable,
01:15:11a fear they've never felt before.
01:15:13The underdog's rise
01:15:14isn't a myth,
01:15:15it's the judgment
01:15:16I wrote with my own hands.
01:15:20Grayson!
01:15:21I'm cooperating,
01:15:22I'll tell you everything.
01:15:23Three months ago,
01:15:23that maniac Percy
01:15:24bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:15:25He took high concentration
01:15:27harmful chemicals.
01:15:28Make it clear.
01:15:29He wants to destroy
01:15:31sea mist's air.
01:15:32He's planning to put
01:15:32harmful substances
01:15:33in that batch
01:15:33of special supply milk powder.
01:15:35I thought stripping him
01:15:36of his name
01:15:36and letting him rot
01:15:37in the gutter
01:15:37like a rat
01:15:38was my final act of mercy.
01:15:40But I underestimated
01:15:41how vicious
01:15:41a mad dog can be.
01:15:43He dared to reach
01:15:44his filthy hands
01:15:45towards my child.
01:15:46Leo,
01:15:47go take care of something.
01:15:48Please give your orders,
01:15:49Mr. Grayson.
01:15:50Mobilize the global legal team.
01:15:52Yes, sir.
01:15:52I want Percy
01:15:53to spend the rest of his life
01:15:54in the coldest,
01:15:54darkest prison cell
01:15:55they can find.
01:15:56Tell the warden,
01:15:57I don't want him dead.
01:15:58I want him to accidentally
01:15:59live to be 100
01:16:00every single day,
01:16:01surrounded by sickness
01:16:01and the torture
01:16:02of those creditors.
01:16:03Watching the glory
01:16:03of my sea mist restaurant
01:16:05shine in the sunlight,
01:16:06blinding him
01:16:07from behind those bars.
01:16:08Since he doesn't
01:16:09want to be human,
01:16:09I'll send him to real hell.
01:16:10I want him to live
01:16:11in endless regret
01:16:12of dying flame
01:16:13in the depths of hell.
01:16:18Defendant Percy,
01:16:19on multiple counts,
01:16:20including food safety violations,
01:16:22attempted harm,
01:16:22malicious tempering,
01:16:23and massive fraud,
01:16:24you are hereby sentenced
01:16:25to life in prison
01:16:26without parole.
01:16:27No!
01:16:28I won't accept this!
01:16:30Grayson, you devil!
01:16:31You manipulated everything!
01:16:32A year ago,
01:16:33I begged him in the rain
01:16:34to leave Mom and Dad
01:16:35some money for their
01:16:36medical bees.
01:16:36He tore my dignity
01:16:37to shreds in public,
01:16:38and now he wants
01:16:39to talk about blood?
01:16:40The moment he reached
01:16:41for Mom and Dad's pension,
01:16:42the moment he reached
01:16:43for my baby's milk powder,
01:16:45he cut that vein
01:16:46with his own hands.
01:16:51Grayson,
01:16:51all that mess in Manhattan,
01:16:54it's finally over.
01:16:56We were blind back then.
01:16:58It was our fault.
01:17:00Mom, it's all in the past.
01:17:01I watched the relieved smiles
01:17:04on my parents' faces.
01:17:05Finally, they were free
01:17:07from that nightmare.
01:17:09Percy is counting lice
01:17:11in a cold prison cell.
01:17:13And my family?
01:17:15We're standing in the sunlight.
01:17:18He rewrote how this industry
01:17:20exploits people.
01:17:21He protected the soul
01:17:23of ingredients.
01:17:24Now let us welcome
01:17:24the world's top culinary leader,
01:17:26Grayson!
01:17:30Today, this trophy
01:17:31doesn't belong to me alone.
01:17:32It belongs to everyone.
01:17:34I'm not standing here
01:17:34to enjoy some empty fame.
01:17:36I'm here to issue
01:17:36the new C-MIST decree.
01:17:38These people,
01:17:38they were once exploited
01:17:39by Percy at Iron Mocker.
01:17:41I announced that C-MIST group
01:17:42will set up a $1 billion
01:17:43support fund.
01:17:44Every front-line employee
01:17:45who suffered exploitation,
01:17:46as long as you pass
01:17:47the assessment,
01:17:48C-MIST will grant you
01:17:49the right to open
01:17:49a franchise free mail.
01:17:51This is what a real slap
01:17:53in the face looks like.
01:17:54I'm going to make
01:17:55Percy watch on TV.
01:17:56All those people
01:17:57he called homeless bums
01:17:58are becoming millionaires
01:17:59under my wing.
01:18:00And him?
01:18:01He can't even afford
01:18:02a roll of toilet paper.
01:18:06Grayson, two-thirds
01:18:07of the Michelin restaurants
01:18:08around the world
01:18:08have already applied
01:18:09to join the C-MIST
01:18:10certification standard.
01:18:14Then let them wait in line.
01:18:16We make the rules.
01:18:20One year ago,
01:18:21I was at the other end
01:18:21of this city
01:18:22holding only $10,000
01:18:23the money I'd bled for.
01:18:24Now,
01:18:25this building beneath my feet,
01:18:26plus thousands of branches
01:18:27around the world,
01:18:28my net worth
01:18:28has exceeded $100 billion.
01:18:30And this Manhattan
01:18:31reeking of money,
01:18:32I use the most humble skills
01:18:33to level every injustice.
01:18:36What are you thinking about?
01:18:40I'm thinking
01:18:41that poor kid
01:18:42who rented that $500 dump
01:18:43had pretty good taste.
01:18:47That was the best investment
01:18:48in the world.
01:18:49The name Percy
01:18:50has been burned to ash
01:18:51from the family tree
01:18:51and erased
01:18:52from this city's history.
01:18:53From now on,
01:18:54no more iron anchor
01:18:55in Manhattan,
01:18:56only C-MIST.
01:18:57Survival of the fittest
01:18:58was the old rule.
01:18:58My rule?
01:18:59Let the ones with soul
01:19:00rise to the top.
01:19:01I'm Grayson.
01:19:02The C-MIST era
01:19:03never ends.
01:19:04The C-MIST.
01:19:05The C-MIST.
01:19:06The C-MIST.
01:19:07The C-MIST.
01:19:07The C-MIST.
01:19:07The C-MIST.
01:19:08The C-MIST.
