00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago. Business was crazy. We cleared six million
00:00:06in one year. But me? He gave me only a hundred grand. A prep cook barely makes two thousand a
00:00:12month. I gave you a hundred 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
00:00:25his. I started my own place. The second my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor, Percy snapped. He smashed his own car
00:00:33hood. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular
00:00:39place in town?
00:00:42Percy, I've got an opening for a prep cook. Two thousand dollars a month.
00:00:50Business blew up this year. We cleared six mil. Here's your share.
00:00:59I took it and counted. Only a hundred thousand. Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit. I put up
00:01:04the money for this restaurant. I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:09You're just a line cook. Any bum off the street could do your job. If you weren't my brother, you
00:01:13wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:17For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.
00:01:22Okay, 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.
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.
00:01:42Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along or I'm calling the cops.
00:01:45Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now.
00:01:50And Percy. He just gets a fancy hairstyle and camps out in front of his live stream.
00:01:55Five people. Always the same five. Making a fool of himself over and over again.
00:02:00I put in at least half the work for that six million, and that hundred thousand Percy gave me.
00:02:05Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:09I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money.
00:02:11Thanks.
00:02:12I turned, pushed the door open, and then Percy called out to me.
00:02:16The citywide benchmark judging is in three days.
00:02:19The mayor is coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi.
00:02:22Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:24So make sure you have a bluefit tuna ready, and cut the belly part well.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:32See you in three days.
00:02:34Good boy.
00:02:35I didn't say a word.
00:02:36Percy never thought I'd be that easy to brush off.
00:02:45And 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.
00:02:54Broken.
00:02:55A total mess.
00:02:56Percy thought it was a dump.
00:02:57A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello, I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years.
00:03:05Takes goods to rent this spot, kid.
00:03:07Nobody survives across from Iron Anchor.
00:03:09You absolutely sure?
00:03:10I'm sure.
00:03:11I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying.
00:03:17Getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:19What Percy didn't realize.
00:03:20That a ward in three days.
00:03:22It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:27This rundown shop was hidden away.
00:03:29Filthy.
00:03:30Pitch.
00:03:31Dark.
00:03:31Thick layers of grease covered everything.
00:03:34I didn't complain.
00:03:35Though, inside, I was actually pumped.
00:03:39Percy quickly realized.
00:03:41Someone had rented that dump across the street again.
00:03:44He got out of his fancy car.
00:03:45Saw it was me.
00:03:46And just lost it.
00:03:47Laughing so hard he could barely stand.
00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot.
00:03:55I gave you $100,000 and you blow it on this rat hole?
00:04:00Don't you have any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him.
00:04:04Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own.
00:04:07Even pulled out his phone and went live.
00:04:09Making exaggerated faces at the camera.
00:04:12Look at this, folks.
00:04:13Thick, nasty grease all over the tables.
00:04:16This place is so disgusting.
00:04:18I swear even a rat wouldn't come near it.
00:04:20Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.
00:04:25Grayson, I'm your older brother.
00:04:27I have to take care of you.
00:04:29You're always welcome back at Iron Archer.
00:04:32I did fill your old spot for half the pay, but you know how replaceable that kind of job is.
00:04:37After humiliating me, Percy left the restaurant, satisfied.
00:04:41He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:47But one thing he would never understand.
00:04:49A restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:51And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already three in the morning when I got home.
00:05:00The light was still on.
00:05:01I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt.
00:05:04My face exhausted.
00:05:05I panicked.
00:05:07I didn't want my family to worry.
00:05:08But I knew I had to face it eventually.
00:05:14My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:05:16Honey, what happened?
00:05:18Why are you so late?
00:05:20Percy asked me to clean the kitchen.
00:05:21I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:25Mia looked uneasy.
00:05:27She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:30I saw the news.
00:05:32The mayor is going to personally review Iron Archer.
00:05:35The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money.
00:05:39Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:05:42Did he give you any of it?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:45He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:47Only a hundred grand?
00:05:48The news said the place cleared six million.
00:05:51That's not fair.
00:05:53You put your whole heart into this restaurant for an entire year.
00:05:56At least half of the credit is yours.
00:05:59How could he do this to you?
00:06:01Mia, calm down.
00:06:03Percy is an idiot with his head stuck up in the clouds.
00:06:06Why are you still working for him?
00:06:10I'm opening my own restaurant.
00:06:14I support whatever decision you make.
00:06:21Here's twenty grand.
00:06:22Go all in, Grayson.
00:06:24The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:28I won't let you down.
00:06:29I swear.
00:06:31The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.
00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:36What if I let Nia down?
00:06:38The dirty, pitch black image of Sea Mist Restaurant kept flashing through my mind.
00:06:42I wasn't sure if the changes I made would be enough to pass the inspection.
00:06:46I started doubting whether going solo was the right move or just a stupid decision made out of anger.
00:06:52I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years and sat down at the desk.
00:06:56It is filled with all kinds of customer info and preferences.
00:06:59I've recorded including the mayor's.
00:07:01I once sat in a high-end restaurant and carefully watched how he ate.
00:07:05What he left on his plate.
00:07:07This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:07:11Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:14What did you say?
00:07:15Sea Mist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:07:28I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:07:30He'd always seen my potential.
00:07:31And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,
00:07:33he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.
00:07:36You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:07:41All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:07:45I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.
00:07:49If he'd paid even a little attention to his own purchasing,
00:07:51he would have recognized that the guy leaving was his biggest supplier.
00:07:54Maybe then his restaurant would still stand a chance.
00:07:57Too bad.
00:07:58All he cares about is messing with that ridiculous haircut of his in his livestream
00:08:02that never gets more than five people.
00:08:04He didn't recognize him at all.
00:08:06Don't say I never give you a chance.
00:08:08The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:08:12My dear little brother,
00:08:13I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:08:17And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:08:20I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:08:26Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:08:28He was sure I couldn't measure up to him in any way.
00:08:30Tomorrow was going to be his day to shine.
00:08:32And at an event like this,
00:08:34his little brother,
00:08:35the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,
00:08:38would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:08:41I'll be there on time.
00:08:44Here's ten bucks.
00:08:46Go park my car for me.
00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry benchmark.
00:08:55Percy was so sure of it,
00:08:57that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:09:00But he overlooked me.
00:09:01A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:09:04Insignificant.
00:09:05Obedient.
00:09:06Beneath notice.
00:09:08When I got home,
00:09:09I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.
00:09:13I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:09:15No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event.
00:09:18Tomorrow.
00:09:19Can't you see?
00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work,
00:09:22and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:25Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:09:28If he tries to embarrass me,
00:09:30I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:36A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:09:38Fine.
00:09:41I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:48He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up,
00:09:52his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:54Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all.
00:10:01This is my brother Grayson.
00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor
00:10:05and thinks he's going to compete with me.
00:10:08Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:10All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:10:12Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:18You know what Percy nets a year?
00:10:20Six million dollars.
00:10:22You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.
00:10:25You really should just stick with your brother.
00:10:27That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.
00:10:31Don't mind them, Grayson.
00:10:33What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough.
00:10:39You're all way out of line.
00:10:41The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:46Grayson, control your wife.
00:10:47This isn't the place for a scene.
00:10:49Easy, Mia.
00:10:50I'm fine.
00:10:59Here's my card.
00:11:01You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief.
00:11:05He never expected that after being humiliated like that.
00:11:08Grayson, what are you doing here?
00:11:08I'd still be able to hand out my business card.
00:11:11Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:13No one took it.
00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers
00:11:18to visit your dump?
00:11:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:21I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:22I swear, one day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:32These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:35Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:39I could see right through it.
00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before,
00:11:43but the ingredients had changed.
00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients.
00:11:47What?
00:11:48To save money.
00:11:48But he doesn't understand his customers.
00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:53Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences,
00:11:56he can never make the perfect dish.
00:11:59At the table,
00:12:01the guests could already tell something was off with the food.
00:12:03But because they were so eager to flatter Percy,
00:12:06they chose to ignore it.
00:12:07The mayor's personal inspection
00:12:08is the highest honor in the industry.
00:12:11Percy kept bragging about how successful
00:12:13his restaurant had become in just one year.
00:12:15How much money he'd made.
00:12:17Mia was so upset,
00:12:18she couldn't even eat.
00:12:19The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.
00:12:22But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:23He brought me up again.
00:12:26Grayson,
00:12:26once Iron Anchor takes over the world,
00:12:28you can still come back.
00:12:31I mean,
00:12:32you don't have much skill,
00:12:33just good for a few simple little jobs.
00:12:36But,
00:12:36you are my little brother after all.
00:12:39Percy,
00:12:39you're such a good man.
00:12:41Your brother has a death wish
00:12:42opening a restaurant right across from you,
00:12:44and you're still looking out for him.
00:12:47Of course.
00:12:49What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?
00:12:52Without Percy,
00:12:54he's nothing.
00:12:57I was furious.
00:12:58All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.
00:13:01No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:13:04Percy was soaking up the praise,
00:13:06laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.
00:13:08And that was the moment he completely cut off
00:13:10the last bit of mercy I had left for him.
00:13:12The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor
00:13:14can only be my sea mist restaurant.
00:13:16I raised my glass,
00:13:18a calm smile on my face.
00:13:19You're alright.
00:13:20Everything I do I learn from Percy,
00:13:22my respected big brother.
00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute.
00:13:28Percy told me to go to the kitchen
00:13:29and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson,
00:13:33get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:36Even though you had the nerve to leave me,
00:13:38I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:40And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:44Percy finished talking
00:13:45and went off to greet the mayor.
00:13:51I looked at the mayor.
00:13:52I knew my chance had come.
00:13:57A year ago,
00:13:58I went through hell to land the supplier
00:14:00with the highest food safety rating.
00:14:03Percy never understood
00:14:04how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:08And now that top-tier supplier belongs to me.
00:14:11The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:14:14Obviously just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:14:22This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control,
00:14:27but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:32Grayson, step aside.
00:14:35The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:42Grayson,
00:14:42you just stand aside and watch.
00:14:45Even for a line cook,
00:14:46you've still got a lot to learn.
00:14:47Percy didn't care about my skills.
00:14:51He asked me to come to the kitchen
00:14:52only to humiliate me
00:14:54with the new hire
00:14:55to prove I was good for nothing.
00:14:58But he had no idea
00:14:59how complicated BlueFit tuna is.
00:15:01Without real knife skills,
00:15:04you can't handle it properly.
00:15:06Especially a piece of cheap,
00:15:08low-quality tuna like this.
00:15:11Percy,
00:15:12you're going to regret
00:15:13everything you've done today.
00:15:15I swear it.
00:15:16I'm just trying to make
00:15:17my little brother better.
00:15:18Otherwise,
00:15:19how is he going to support you
00:15:20and the baby in your belly?
00:15:21That failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:27I'll learn from him.
00:15:29After today,
00:15:30one of us will be famous
00:15:31and the other
00:15:32will be a nobody.
00:15:37Grayson,
00:15:37I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:41That is right.
00:15:42After today,
00:15:43one of us
00:15:44is going to take over the world
00:15:46and the other
00:15:46is going to fade
00:15:47into obscurity.
00:15:49I watched very carefully.
00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning
00:15:52and he even took the time
00:15:53to explain things to me.
00:15:54I smiled.
00:15:55With such lousy technique
00:15:57that BlueFit tuna
00:15:58was going to end up
00:15:59as nothing but a pile
00:16:00of ruined meat
00:16:00in his hands
00:16:01and the mayor.
00:16:04He hates nothing more
00:16:05than being handed
00:16:06low-quality,
00:16:07butchered tuna
00:16:08like it is no big deal.
00:16:13Percy was in the dining room
00:16:15chatting up the mayor
00:16:16like he was king
00:16:17of the world.
00:16:18He had no idea
00:16:19his restaurant
00:16:19was heading straight to hell.
00:16:21Joss walked up
00:16:22carrying a covered platter.
00:16:24Meanwhile,
00:16:25the highest quality
00:16:26BlueFit tuna
00:16:27was being delivered
00:16:28to Sea Mist Restaurant
00:16:30where the expensive
00:16:31head chef I hired
00:16:32was handling the premium tuna
00:16:34according to the methods
00:16:35written in my notebook.
00:16:36My dear fans,
00:16:37it's showtime!
00:16:38The mayor is here!
00:16:40Today I'll show the world
00:16:41true top-tier cooking.
00:16:42Some bottom-fleeling trash
00:16:44running a cheap diner
00:16:45couldn't even dream
00:16:45of reaching this level.
00:16:51Mr. Mayor
00:16:52and everyone watching
00:16:53in the live stream,
00:16:54let me introduce you
00:16:55to my good-for-nothing
00:16:56little brother, Grayson.
00:16:58Never been smart.
00:16:59Only good for the dirty work
00:17:00in the back.
00:17:01He recently opened
00:17:02some dump called Sea Mist
00:17:04right over there.
00:17:06If you ever feel like
00:17:07your stomach's too full
00:17:08and you need to throw up,
00:17:09feel free to go try
00:17:11his chemical waste.
00:17:14Percy, you're too soft.
00:17:16Having that guy
00:17:17across the street
00:17:18is polluting
00:17:19our whole neighborhood.
00:17:21Mr. Mayor,
00:17:22here's my card.
00:17:23I'm good at making
00:17:23otoyu sushi.
00:17:25Are you crazy?
00:17:26A little place
00:17:27that can't even fit
00:17:28two people in the bathroom
00:17:29and you think you can
00:17:30hand the mayor
00:17:31your business card?
00:17:32My restaurant is spotless
00:17:33and my ingredients
00:17:34are the best.
00:17:36I don't think
00:17:37square footage
00:17:38determines quality.
00:17:39Grayson!
00:17:40Stop embarrassing
00:17:42yourself here!
00:17:46Young man,
00:17:47you have something
00:17:48those greedy
00:17:48businessmen don't.
00:17:49You're calm.
00:17:50I like that.
00:17:52The mayor sure
00:17:53has a sense of humor.
00:17:55He's just teaching
00:17:56the young generation
00:17:57to stay humble.
00:17:59Grayson,
00:18:00the only reason
00:18:00the mayor hasn't
00:18:01kicked you out
00:18:02is out of respect
00:18:02for me.
00:18:04Stop any of your
00:18:05pathetic delusions.
00:18:14Please take a seat.
00:18:26Mr. Mayor,
00:18:27this is our signature dish,
00:18:29otoro sushi.
00:18:30I promise you'll love it.
00:18:34Iron Anchor's
00:18:35otoro sushi
00:18:36is one of a kind,
00:18:37Mr. Mayor.
00:18:37I guarantee
00:18:38you'll fall for it.
00:18:39The knife work,
00:18:40the technique,
00:18:41absolutely flawless.
00:18:43In the past,
00:18:45the otoro sushi
00:18:45really was
00:18:46one of a kind.
00:18:48But this time,
00:18:49without top quality
00:18:51ingredients
00:18:51and skilled knife work,
00:18:53the only thing
00:18:53coming out of that kitchen
00:18:54is a one of a kind
00:18:56piece of garbage.
00:19:19Oh my god,
00:19:20what the hell
00:19:21is that garbage?
00:19:23At that same moment,
00:19:25the otoro sushi
00:19:26I prepared
00:19:26was being carefully
00:19:27packed up
00:19:28and was already
00:19:29on its way.
00:19:30We are about to serve
00:19:32the very first dish
00:19:33from Seamist Restaurant.
00:19:36Everyone,
00:19:37stay sharp.
00:19:39Yes!
00:19:52Percy's prized
00:19:53otoro sushi
00:19:54was unveiled
00:19:55before anyone
00:19:56could admire it.
00:19:57A wave of rotten stench
00:19:58hit the room.
00:19:59His smile vanished.
00:20:00Guests gagged.
00:20:01The mayor slammed
00:20:01his fork down
00:20:02on the table in fury.
00:20:03Percy!
00:20:03This is the signature dish
00:20:04you've been bragging about?
00:20:05Open your damn eyes!
00:20:07Is this meant for humans?
00:20:08I held Mia close
00:20:09and watched.
00:20:10Cold.
00:20:10Percy's face went pale.
00:20:12Cold sweat
00:20:12dripped from his temples
00:20:13down into his collar.
00:20:15But he wasn't done.
00:20:16He fell back
00:20:16on his pathetic sales pitch,
00:20:18desperate to cover up the rot.
00:20:19No!
00:20:20Mr. Mayor,
00:20:20let me explain.
00:20:21This is an oxidation reaction,
00:20:23an advanced aging process
00:20:24for premium tuna.
00:20:25Advanced aging.
00:20:26No,
00:20:27he just served the mayor cheap.
00:20:29Old meat to cut costs.
00:20:30The live stream
00:20:31was going wild.
00:20:33The whole city
00:20:33was watching him
00:20:34feed garbage
00:20:35to the mayor.
00:20:36Fine.
00:20:36You're so confident
00:20:37in this process?
00:20:38Then don't waste it.
00:20:39Bring it to him.
00:20:41Eat it, Percy.
00:20:41Every last piece.
00:20:42Right now.
00:20:43No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:44You're resisting so hard.
00:20:45Is it because you think
00:20:46it's a piece of rotten meat too?
00:20:48No!
00:20:49Mr. Mayor,
00:20:49I'll prove to you
00:20:50there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:51The security guard
00:20:52stepped forward.
00:20:53The cold,
00:20:54intimidating pressure
00:20:54left Percy
00:20:55with no way out.
00:20:57Under the gaze
00:20:57of the city-wide live stream,
00:20:59he was forced to swallow
00:21:00that rotten meat
00:21:01like a pathetic stray dog.
00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs
00:21:05and threw the money away.
00:21:07Now he had to chew up
00:21:07the consequences himself.
00:21:10The mayor's fury
00:21:11was just the beginning.
00:21:12The real ruin
00:21:13of the Iron Anchor
00:21:13was just getting started.
00:21:20This is the pride
00:21:21of Surla Street?
00:21:22The face of our state's
00:21:23restaurant industry?
00:21:24Percy,
00:21:25you didn't just insult me.
00:21:26You insult the entire
00:21:27food safety laws
00:21:28of this city.
00:21:29Mr. Mayor,
00:21:30I swear on my life.
00:21:31The sushi is fine.
00:21:32I just drank too much
00:21:33last night.
00:21:33It's my stomach.
00:21:34It's upset.
00:21:35Percy's excuse
00:21:35sounded pathetic
00:21:36and hollow
00:21:37in front of the mayor
00:21:38and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:39No one knew better than me.
00:21:40Eating rotten bluefin tuna
00:21:42would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:43Soon,
00:21:44Percy showed
00:21:44all the signs.
00:21:46The client who had signed
00:21:47next year's contract with him
00:21:48actually wanted to go help him.
00:21:51Damn it!
00:21:52You used rotten meat!
00:21:53That's why you're such a mess right now!
00:21:55Percy, you idiot!
00:21:55You just blew the entire war!
00:21:57No, no, no!
00:21:57It's not what you think!
00:21:58And just like that,
00:21:59Percy's noble image was gone,
00:22:01shattered in front of the live stream
00:22:03and the entire city.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:05I want a full investigation
00:22:06of Iron Anchor
00:22:08right now!
00:22:08Percy wanted to stop it,
00:22:09but he couldn't move.
00:22:10Soon enough,
00:22:11the iron door
00:22:12to Iron Anchor's back storage
00:22:13was violently pushed over.
00:22:15A stench of formaldehyde
00:22:16mixed with rotting blood
00:22:17hit everyone in the face.
00:22:19Cardboard boxes
00:22:20piled up like metals,
00:22:21their outer layers
00:22:22covered in mold.
00:22:23The smell is
00:22:24absolutely disgusting!
00:22:25Just thinking about
00:22:26the food I ate
00:22:26makes me want to
00:22:27strangle Percy
00:22:28with my bare hand!
00:22:29Percy was dragged
00:22:29to the storage door
00:22:30like a filthy rag.
00:22:32The mayor pointed angrily
00:22:33at the inside
00:22:33of the back room.
00:22:34This is the best ingredient
00:22:35warehouse in all of New York?
00:22:36Percy,
00:22:36you better explain this!
00:22:38Now!
00:22:40Percy scrambled,
00:22:41saying it was all
00:22:42the supplier's fault
00:22:43that he was a victim too.
00:22:44Tears streamed down his face
00:22:45as he got all emotional.
00:22:46At first,
00:22:47some people actually
00:22:48believed him.
00:22:48After all,
00:22:49Iron Anchor's reputation
00:22:50had been perfect.
00:22:51That was until a contract
00:22:52signed with the shady supplier
00:22:53was pulled out of a drawer.
00:22:54A hundred dollars a play
00:22:55and you spent
00:22:56three cents on the meat?
00:22:57Vanity.
00:22:58That's what it was.
00:22:59The money went to the cars,
00:23:00the fancy front,
00:23:01but the food itself.
00:23:02He had zero respect for it.
00:23:04Mr. Mayor,
00:23:05let me explain.
00:23:05I was just trying
00:23:06to save money.
00:23:07I didn't know the supplier
00:23:07would give me bad meat.
00:23:08I'd give me bad meat.
00:23:10You didn't know?
00:23:11You're playing games
00:23:12with people's lives!
00:23:14Percy looked around
00:23:15in despair,
00:23:16nothing but contempt,
00:23:17and the mayor's fury
00:23:18was even more terrifying
00:23:19than he'd imagined.
00:23:20If this is the best
00:23:21Surla Street has to offer,
00:23:22then I will shut down
00:23:22every single restaurant
00:23:23on this entire street!
00:23:25The whole place erupted.
00:23:26Every business owner's face
00:23:27dropped.
00:23:27If the whole street
00:23:28got shut down,
00:23:29they would lose
00:23:29countless future business deals.
00:23:31Percy,
00:23:31you animal!
00:23:32You want to serve trash?
00:23:33Fine!
00:23:33But don't drag the rest
00:23:34of us down with you!
00:23:35You disgusting little roach!
00:23:36Go to hell!
00:23:37That is human nature.
00:23:38When Percy was on top,
00:23:39they were his loyal supporters.
00:23:40The moment he fell,
00:23:41everyone wanted to kick him.
00:23:43While he was down,
00:23:43Mia looked worried.
00:23:44She was afraid my restaurant
00:23:45would get caught up in this too.
00:23:46I patted her hand.
00:23:47I'd just gotten my license.
00:23:48I was fully confident
00:23:49I could turn the tide
00:23:50on Surla Street.
00:23:51And if I timed it right,
00:23:52my chef should be here
00:23:53any second.
00:23:58Percy panicked.
00:23:59Iron Anchor was facing closure
00:24:00and me,
00:24:01his worthless little brother,
00:24:02bringing in a chef
00:24:03with the very same cut of fish.
00:24:05Grayson,
00:24:05what the hell
00:24:06do you think you're doing?
00:24:07Mr. Mayor,
00:24:08before you give up
00:24:09on this street,
00:24:10please give real
00:24:11Surla Street Cuisine
00:24:12one chance.
00:24:13Percy pulled himself up
00:24:13off the floor
00:24:14and stormed over to me,
00:24:15furious.
00:24:16That garbage
00:24:17from your $500 dump
00:24:18has no place
00:24:19in front of the mayor!
00:24:21I'm warning you.
00:24:22Throw that trash away!
00:24:23Mia was never one
00:24:24to just take it lying down.
00:24:25The second she heard that,
00:24:26she hauled off
00:24:27and slapped Percy
00:24:28right across the face.
00:24:29Wipe that disgusting
00:24:30superior look off your face,
00:24:31you arrogant jerk!
00:24:33Three minutes ago,
00:24:34you were serving
00:24:34the mayor garbage.
00:24:35Whatever my husband
00:24:36has in that box
00:24:37is worth more than you
00:24:38and your whole restaurant
00:24:39ever were!
00:24:40You dare put your hands
00:24:41on me,
00:24:41you shameless bitch!
00:24:43The mayor beat me to it.
00:24:44He had his security
00:24:45restrained Percy,
00:24:46then looked at
00:24:47the takeout box
00:24:48in my hand.
00:24:49I think I'd like
00:24:49to try something
00:24:50made by a man
00:24:51with some composure.
00:24:52C-Mist Restaurant,
00:24:54please enjoy.
00:25:09Wait!
00:25:10C-Mist shouldn't even
00:25:11be in the running!
00:25:12Everyone knows
00:25:12that place is a dump!
00:25:14Full of grease and rats!
00:25:15It doesn't even
00:25:16meet basic health
00:25:16and safety standards!
00:25:17Percy looked at me
00:25:18with that smug expression,
00:25:20like he'd finally
00:25:20cornered the clown.
00:25:22Too bad.
00:25:22This time,
00:25:23the joke was on him.
00:25:25Save the pity, Grayson.
00:25:26I know you tried
00:25:27really hard
00:25:27to steal first place
00:25:28from me.
00:25:29Too bad.
00:25:30Trying isn't enough,
00:25:31you'll never surpass
00:25:32me, little brother.
00:25:34Mr. Mayor,
00:25:35it would be my honor
00:25:36to lead the way
00:25:37and show everyone
00:25:38this garbage-dimmed Grayson
00:25:41calls a restaurant.
00:25:43That place has been
00:25:44closed for ages.
00:25:45I heard the last owner
00:25:46was so bitter.
00:25:47He poured cooking oil
00:25:47all over the floors
00:25:48on his way out,
00:25:49you can't even walk in there.
00:25:50That's right.
00:25:51And he left all kinds
00:25:52of expired food
00:25:52in there, too.
00:25:53It's probably a full-blown
00:25:54rat kingdom by now.
00:25:55What right does a dump
00:25:56like that have to call
00:25:57itself a restaurant?
00:25:58What do we do?
00:26:01Mr. Mayor,
00:26:02and everyone here,
00:26:03as the owner of
00:26:04C-Mist Restaurant,
00:26:05I invite you all
00:26:06to come see it
00:26:06for yourselves.
00:26:07You idiot.
00:26:09Get ready to watch
00:26:10your precious restaurant
00:26:11get shut down.
00:26:12My dear fans,
00:26:14I'm about to show you
00:26:15the most chaotic,
00:26:17filthiest garbage dump
00:26:18on Surla Street.
00:26:20You cannot imagine
00:26:21how absolutely disgusting
00:26:23that place is.
00:26:26Percy,
00:26:27lying has consequences.
00:26:29It's totally fake.
00:26:30I guarantee you
00:26:31behind this door,
00:26:31it's nothing but
00:26:32trash and stink.
00:26:34Just wait and see.
00:26:35Percy's smug smile.
00:26:36Growing.
00:26:37But all of that
00:26:38was about to come
00:26:38to a screeching halt
00:26:39the second I opened
00:26:41that door.
00:26:46This is impossible.
00:26:48Oh my God!
00:26:49In just a few days,
00:26:50that dump
00:26:51has completely changed.
00:26:53It's so clean and tidy.
00:26:55Way more pleasant
00:26:56to look at
00:26:56than Iron Anchor's
00:26:57tacky, flashy decorations.
00:27:03Grayson,
00:27:04your taste is just
00:27:05just as impressive
00:27:06as your food.
00:27:13Man,
00:27:14this place is cleaner
00:27:15than an operating room.
00:27:17I worked around the clock,
00:27:18kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:27:19scrubbing every single crack
00:27:21with a brush.
00:27:22Percy spent his money
00:27:23on those Gaudi chandeliers
00:27:24that blind you.
00:27:25I spent mine
00:27:25on every little detail
00:27:26you can touch.
00:27:27This is all just for show!
00:27:28You can fake the decor,
00:27:30but you can't fake
00:27:32the ingredients!
00:27:34Grayson,
00:27:35you're broke.
00:27:36Your monthly rent
00:27:36is 500 bucks.
00:27:38How can you afford
00:27:39top-grade bluefit tuna?
00:27:41I bet that piece
00:27:42he just fed you
00:27:42was the only decent
00:27:43one he's got.
00:27:44His freezer must be packed
00:27:45with cheap frozen garbage.
00:27:47Trash will always be trash!
00:27:51You want to see?
00:27:52I'll show you.
00:27:58So many.
00:28:00Tuna of this quality,
00:28:01only three restaurants
00:28:02in all of New York
00:28:02can get their hands on these.
00:28:07Percy,
00:28:08take a good look.
00:28:09This is what you call garbage.
00:28:11No!
00:28:11You must have injected poison
00:28:12into these rotten fish,
00:28:13sprayed them with chemicals!
00:28:14Who the hell
00:28:15is insulting my fish?
00:28:21You are...
00:28:22I worked with Iron Anchor
00:28:23for a whole year.
00:28:24Not once did you bother
00:28:25to remember my name.
00:28:26Percy,
00:28:27you're an absolute idiot.
00:28:30You're Iron Anchor's
00:28:32biggest supplier
00:28:32from this past year.
00:28:33You traitor!
00:28:34You're the traitor!
00:28:36And premium ingredients
00:28:37should go to people
00:28:38who actually appreciate them!
00:28:40Mr. Mayor,
00:28:41I'm the largest
00:28:42seafood distributor
00:28:43in California.
00:28:43I hereby certify
00:28:45that all ingredients
00:28:46used by Seamist Restaurant
00:28:48are exclusively supplied
00:28:49through my special channel
00:28:50with the highest
00:28:51A-level safety rating.
00:28:53Mr. Grayson
00:28:54is the most knowledgeable
00:28:55person about ingredients
00:28:56I've ever met.
00:28:57That's why I ended
00:28:58all my contracts
00:28:59with Iron Anchor
00:29:00for him.
00:29:01Are you insane?
00:29:02I give you millions
00:29:03of dollars a year!
00:29:04What about him?
00:29:05All he got was
00:29:06the lousy hundred grand
00:29:07I threw at him!
00:29:08After lashing out
00:29:09at the supplier,
00:29:10Percy turned his rage
00:29:11back on me.
00:29:12Grayson!
00:29:12You ungrateful snake!
00:29:15You took the hundred grand
00:29:16I gave you
00:29:17and used it to steal
00:29:18my supplier
00:29:19and become my enemy?
00:29:20Don't you have any
00:29:21family loyalty at all?
00:29:22Percy.
00:29:25Percy,
00:29:26out of that hundred grand,
00:29:28ninety thousand
00:29:28was purchasing money
00:29:29I fronted for you.
00:29:33The remaining ten thousand
00:29:34was what you paid me
00:29:36for three years
00:29:37of working my ass off
00:29:39day and night.
00:29:40You thought you could
00:29:41buy my dignity.
00:29:42I'm taking it back
00:29:43with my own hands.
00:29:44We're even.
00:29:45And don't forget,
00:29:46this supplier was mine
00:29:48from the very beginning.
00:29:49Percy's eyes
00:29:50went unfocused.
00:29:51It looked like he was
00:29:52finally remembering
00:29:52how hard I worked
00:29:53a year ago,
00:29:54visiting supplier
00:29:55after supplier,
00:29:56screening through
00:29:57thousands of them
00:29:58to find this one.
00:29:59Percy wanted to
00:30:00keep arguing,
00:30:00but fate wasn't
00:30:02going to give him
00:30:02any more chances.
00:30:04Mr. Mayor,
00:30:05it's not just
00:30:05the ingredients.
00:30:06The entire interior
00:30:07of Iron Anchor
00:30:08is built with
00:30:08the cheapest,
00:30:09most flammable
00:30:09formalhyde-laden boards
00:30:10just painted over
00:30:11with a layer of gold.
00:30:11Iron Anchor
00:30:12is basically a
00:30:13poison gas chamber
00:30:13that would explode
00:30:14the second it
00:30:14touches fire.
00:30:18That's disgusting.
00:30:20All for show.
00:30:21Percy,
00:30:22get out of
00:30:22the restaurant industry.
00:30:25Mr. Mayor,
00:30:26I was wrong.
00:30:27I just wanted
00:30:28the restaurant
00:30:28to look better.
00:30:29You risked
00:30:30people's lives
00:30:31just to look good?
00:30:32Percy's tears
00:30:33rolled down
00:30:34his fake,
00:30:35lying face.
00:30:36He used to
00:30:36throw money
00:30:37in front of me
00:30:38and call me
00:30:38a country bumpin'
00:30:39who'd never
00:30:39seen the world.
00:30:40And now,
00:30:41that live-streaming
00:30:42empire he'd
00:30:43so carefully built
00:30:44was collapsing
00:30:45inch by inch
00:30:46in front of
00:30:46a global audience.
00:30:48I hereby declare
00:30:49Sea Mist Restaurant
00:30:51the industry
00:30:52benchmark restaurant
00:30:53for this year.
00:30:55Effective immediately,
00:30:56Iron Anchor's
00:30:57business license
00:30:58is permanently
00:30:59revoked.
00:31:00All assets
00:31:01are to be seized.
00:31:02Percy is under
00:31:03official investigation
00:31:05for food safety crimes
00:31:06and commercial fraud.
00:31:09Now,
00:31:10throw this
00:31:10cockroach
00:31:11out of here.
00:31:19Grayson!
00:31:20Save me!
00:31:21You're my own
00:31:22little brother.
00:31:23Your restaurant
00:31:23is right across
00:31:24the street.
00:31:24You can fix this.
00:31:25You have to.
00:31:26I gave him a year.
00:31:28A whole year.
00:31:29But all he ever learned
00:31:30was how to put on a show
00:31:31for his live-streaming.
00:31:33Grayson!
00:31:35Grayson,
00:31:35I'm begging you.
00:31:36You're tight with the mayor.
00:31:37Please put in a good word for me.
00:31:38You can't let them
00:31:39close my place.
00:31:40That's everything I've got.
00:31:41Everything you've got,
00:31:42Percy?
00:31:43You call rotten meat
00:31:44and fake gold
00:31:45paint everything you've got?
00:31:46Just don't shut me down.
00:31:47I'll do anything you want.
00:31:48I'll give you all the shares.
00:31:50You come back
00:31:51and be the boss.
00:31:51I'll work for you.
00:31:52I'll be your line cook.
00:31:54Percy,
00:31:54do you remember
00:31:55how you humiliated Grayson?
00:31:56You said he was only
00:31:57worth 2,000 bucks.
00:31:58You said a homeless guy
00:31:59off the street
00:32:00could replace him.
00:32:01A year ago,
00:32:02I begged him
00:32:03in the pouring rain
00:32:04just like this
00:32:05to pay the supplier
00:32:06what he owed.
00:32:07He rolled down
00:32:08his car window,
00:32:09blew smoke in my face,
00:32:10and told me
00:32:11I didn't understand business.
00:32:13Percy,
00:32:14your biggest mistake
00:32:14wasn't greed.
00:32:15It was that you never
00:32:16learned to respect food.
00:32:18Someone who can make
00:32:19the finest fish
00:32:19smell like death
00:32:20has no place
00:32:21in a kitchen.
00:32:23You're really gonna
00:32:24just let me die?
00:32:24For old time's sake,
00:32:26since you want to be
00:32:27a line cook so bad,
00:32:28C-Mist just happens
00:32:29to be looking for someone
00:32:30to clean the bathrooms.
00:32:312,000 a month.
00:32:33And the only reason
00:32:33I'm even offering it to you
00:32:34is out of respect
00:32:35for you being my big brother.
00:32:40Mr. Grayson,
00:32:41I'm officially transferring
00:32:42my $5 million
00:32:43annual banquet booking
00:32:44to C-Mist Restaurant.
00:32:45Name your price.
00:32:46Just make sure that
00:32:46Oto Sushi shows up
00:32:48at my event.
00:32:48Grayson,
00:32:49this is a long-term
00:32:49letter of intent
00:32:50from the Manhattan
00:32:51Restaurant Association.
00:32:52We're willing to pay
00:32:52a 50% premium
00:32:53as long as C-Mist
00:32:54agrees to be our partner.
00:32:56Three hours ago,
00:32:56these same people
00:32:57watched Percy humiliate
00:32:58me in front of everyone.
00:32:59They laughed at me,
00:33:00a lowly line cook
00:33:00who didn't know his place.
00:33:01Now, they're willing
00:33:02to pay double
00:33:03just to beg me
00:33:03for a partnership.
00:33:04C-Mist will only sign
00:33:05with one partner
00:33:06in the next year.
00:33:07That spot,
00:33:09you'll have to fight
00:33:09for it yourselves.
00:33:10I have the strongest capital,
00:33:12that spot belongs to me!
00:33:14What can you offer
00:33:14besides money?
00:33:15I can provide
00:33:16the biggest advertising
00:33:17and sales channels!
00:33:18Get lost!
00:33:19This opportunity is mine!
00:33:21I'm so excited!
00:33:24With the mayor's endorsement
00:33:25and the title
00:33:26of industry
00:33:27benchmark restaurant,
00:33:28C-Mist was splattered
00:33:29all over countless posters.
00:33:32Customers poured
00:33:33into C-Mist non-stop.
00:33:35Mia and I opened
00:33:36three more locations
00:33:37together.
00:33:38I never held back.
00:33:39I shared everything
00:33:40I knew.
00:33:41C-Mist will always stand
00:33:42for healthy,
00:33:43delicious food.
00:33:51All those prepayments
00:33:52that should have gone
00:33:53into Iron Anchor's account,
00:33:54they were now flooding
00:33:56into mine instead.
00:33:58Oh my God,
00:33:58I can't believe my eyes.
00:34:00Grayson,
00:34:01in less than half an hour,
00:34:02the prepayments
00:34:03have already topped
00:34:04three million!
00:34:05We made it!
00:34:06Grayson,
00:34:07you deserve this.
00:34:08The restaurant industry
00:34:09doesn't need some performer
00:34:10who only knows
00:34:11how to lie.
00:34:12It needs craftsmen
00:34:13like you.
00:34:14People with soul
00:34:15when it comes to food.
00:34:17This is the contract
00:34:18for government catering
00:34:20for the next year.
00:34:26Pleasure doing business
00:34:27with you.
00:34:28At that moment,
00:34:29Percy,
00:34:29his face caked with mud,
00:34:32pressed himself
00:34:32against the window
00:34:33like a ghost,
00:34:34watching me sign
00:34:35contract after contract,
00:34:37signing away
00:34:37millions of dollars.
00:34:39Furious,
00:34:39he tried to get in,
00:34:40but the security guard
00:34:42at the door
00:34:42shoved him back.
00:34:43sending him
00:34:44tumbling down the steps.
00:34:45Get out of my way!
00:34:47That bastard Grayson
00:34:48took everything from me!
00:34:49This was supposed
00:34:50to be mine!
00:34:51Move along!
00:34:52This is no place
00:34:53for a homeless guy!
00:34:54He was out there watching.
00:34:56I was in here sitting.
00:34:59That single pane of glass
00:35:00was the line
00:35:01between heaven and hell.
00:35:02He used to say
00:35:03that without him,
00:35:04I'd be begging
00:35:05for food in Chinatown.
00:35:07Now,
00:35:07he can't even get past
00:35:09the door of my restaurant.
00:35:11Grayson!
00:35:12You traitor!
00:35:17Percy was curled up
00:35:18next to a stinking dumpster.
00:35:20His thousand dollar
00:35:22tuxedo
00:35:22was caked with grime.
00:35:24He was too afraid
00:35:25to go home.
00:35:26Because all the partners
00:35:27he'd arrogantly
00:35:28signed with before
00:35:29were now turning on him
00:35:30after Iron Anchor
00:35:31got shut down.
00:35:32What awaited him
00:35:33was massive penalty fees
00:35:35and the fury
00:35:36of every single one
00:35:37of those partners.
00:35:43Hello?
00:35:44Boss,
00:35:45just give me
00:35:45a little more time.
00:35:46Time?
00:35:47Percy,
00:35:48your old frozen meat
00:35:49got my license revoked.
00:35:51According to the contract,
00:35:52you owe me triple the penalty.
00:35:53That's two million dollars.
00:35:55If I don't see that money
00:35:56by tomorrow morning,
00:35:57you can go feed the fish
00:35:58in the Hudson River.
00:36:04Percy,
00:36:05this is James
00:36:06from Seafood Logistics.
00:36:07That industry benchmark
00:36:08prize you promised
00:36:09was total bullshit.
00:36:10I want my shipping fees
00:36:11and the 500,000 penalty.
00:36:12Transfer it now.
00:36:13Otherwise,
00:36:14I'm sending your address
00:36:15to every creditor
00:36:15in Manhattan.
00:36:17Percy pinned
00:36:18all his remaining hope
00:36:19on live streaming.
00:36:20He begged his viewers
00:36:21to send him money
00:36:22to save Iron Anchor.
00:36:24He made a complete
00:36:24fool of himself
00:36:25like a stray dog
00:36:26losing every shred
00:36:27of dignity.
00:36:28He did pathetic stunts.
00:36:29He even fought
00:36:30homeless people for food.
00:36:32You felled us garbage
00:36:32for so long.
00:36:33What right does an animal
00:36:34like you have
00:36:35to ask for our forgiveness?
00:36:36Report him.
00:36:37Make him disappear for good.
00:36:39No, no, no.
00:36:40If I hadn't skimped
00:36:41on that 90,000,
00:36:42if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:36:44that six million
00:36:44would have been mine.
00:36:45The mayor's praise
00:36:46would have been mine too.
00:36:47He finally understood.
00:36:49Losing me
00:36:49wasn't just losing
00:36:50a line cook.
00:36:51It was losing his only brain
00:36:53and his last chance
00:36:54to be a decent human being.
00:36:55The live stream ban
00:36:56was the final straw
00:36:58that broke Percy.
00:36:59He looked at
00:37:00Sea Mist Restaurant
00:37:01glowing with lights
00:37:02and finally broke down
00:37:03sobbing.
00:37:05I was wrong.
00:37:07Grayson,
00:37:08I was really wrong.
00:37:10I was wrong.
00:37:24Grayson,
00:37:24help me!
00:37:25Help me!
00:37:29I took Mia out
00:37:30for a nice meal
00:37:31because we were
00:37:32so poor last year.
00:37:33I couldn't even feed
00:37:34my pregnant wife
00:37:35decent food
00:37:36more than a few times.
00:37:38Mia, thank you
00:37:39for everything
00:37:42these past three years.
00:37:44Grayson,
00:37:44I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:37:46A month ago,
00:37:46we were stressing
00:37:47over $500 in rent.
00:37:49Dreams end,
00:37:51but these numbers
00:37:52don't lie.
00:37:52Three days ago,
00:37:53I sat here
00:37:54watching Percy
00:37:55throw money around
00:37:55like it was nothing.
00:37:56Now,
00:37:57Sea Mist's
00:37:57weekly revenue alone
00:37:58equals his entire
00:37:59net profit
00:38:00from last year.
00:38:01Ones,
00:38:01tens,
00:38:02hundreds,
00:38:02thousands,
00:38:03tens of thousands.
00:38:03Grayson,
00:38:04the prepayments
00:38:05and net profit,
00:38:06it's over $6 million?
00:38:07That's just the first week.
00:38:08With the mayor's endorsement,
00:38:09every big name in New York,
00:38:11politicians,
00:38:12and socialettes alike
00:38:13is lining up.
00:38:14We're already booked
00:38:15through Christmas next year.
00:38:16We're rich.
00:38:17We can give our child
00:38:19the best education.
00:38:20We never have to live
00:38:21under Percy's thumb again.
00:38:22I looked at Mia's
00:38:23excited face.
00:38:24It warmed my heart.
00:38:26To the future.
00:38:28Cheers.
00:38:30And Percy,
00:38:31at that very moment,
00:38:32he was huddled
00:38:33next to a dumpster,
00:38:34gnawling on someone
00:38:35else's disparted bread.
00:38:40I moved Mia
00:38:41out of that tiny
00:38:42rental apartment
00:38:42and bought the best
00:38:43estate in the city.
00:38:44Mr. Grayson,
00:38:45this is the most private
00:38:46estate in the entire city.
00:38:47It comes with its own
00:38:48helipad and a top
00:38:49of the security system.
00:38:50Do you like it?
00:38:51The sunlight here
00:38:52is beautiful.
00:38:53Perfect for our kid
00:38:54to run around
00:38:54on the grass someday.
00:38:55I never imagined
00:38:56I'd live in a place
00:38:57like this someday.
00:38:58Grayson,
00:38:59this is too expensive.
00:39:00Mia,
00:39:00you deserve the best.
00:39:01Just sign it.
00:39:02This will be our
00:39:03family's safe haven.
00:39:04Now,
00:39:05I bought the estate
00:39:06that Percy never even
00:39:07dared to dream
00:39:08of stepping foot in.
00:39:09And him?
00:39:10He's hiding
00:39:11in some dark corner,
00:39:12running from the creditors.
00:39:14The soft opening
00:39:15of C-Mist branch
00:39:15was a huge success.
00:39:16We can officially
00:39:17launch the expansion
00:39:18plan now.
00:39:19Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:39:20The top ten
00:39:21commercial districts
00:39:21are all fighting
00:39:22for us to set up there.
00:39:23The contracts are ready.
00:39:24Tell them this.
00:39:25C-Mist has only
00:39:26one standard.
00:39:27The finest ingredients?
00:39:28Absolute transparency.
00:39:30Percy failed
00:39:30because he looked
00:39:31at his customers
00:39:32and saw cash cows.
00:39:33I succeeded
00:39:34because I treat food
00:39:35like a religion.
00:39:36Expanding the business
00:39:37isn't about hoarding money.
00:39:39It's about letting
00:39:40more people around
00:39:40the world enjoy this food.
00:39:42Grayson,
00:39:43we're really starting
00:39:44a new life.
00:39:47The first stop
00:39:48for our expansion?
00:39:50That port Percy
00:39:51always wanted
00:39:51to take over
00:39:52for himself.
00:40:05Goodbye, Grayson.
00:40:06You made it.
00:40:08You goddamn piece of trash.
00:40:10You actually sold
00:40:11banned meat?
00:40:12Are you even human?
00:40:13Dad,
00:40:14I was just trying
00:40:15to make money.
00:40:16Who knew that
00:40:17ungrateful snake,
00:40:18Grayson,
00:40:18would turn on me?
00:40:19Turn on you?
00:40:20If it weren't for him,
00:40:21we'd all be in prison
00:40:22right now
00:40:22because of you.
00:40:24We have no place
00:40:25for a beast like you.
00:40:26I was tasting
00:40:27the finest wine
00:40:28in my estate.
00:40:29Percy was in that old house,
00:40:30taking the beating
00:40:31my parents should have
00:40:32given him long ago.
00:40:33He used to think
00:40:33he was the pride
00:40:34of the family.
00:40:35In truth,
00:40:35he was just a cowardly,
00:40:37rotten parasite.
00:40:37You're a monster!
00:40:39Get out!
00:40:39Stop hitting me!
00:40:41Grayson is loaded.
00:40:42He's got tens of millions now.
00:40:44Make him help me!
00:40:46You still have the nerve
00:40:48to mention him?
00:40:49When you paid him
00:40:50two thousand bucks,
00:40:51did you ever stop
00:40:52to think he was
00:40:52your little brother?
00:40:54Get out!
00:40:55Go be a lying cook
00:40:56out on the streets!
00:41:04His nightmare
00:41:05had only just begun.
00:41:17What happened at Iron Anchor
00:41:18was a misunderstanding.
00:41:19I already switched suppliers.
00:41:22Just lift the ban, please.
00:41:24Give me one more day.
00:41:26Mr. Percy,
00:41:27your restaurant
00:41:28is on the national blacklist now.
00:41:30Old frozen meat
00:41:31and formalide-laden decor?
00:41:32Those search terms
00:41:33are number one on Google.
00:41:35Stop wasting our time.
00:41:36Get out and don't bring
00:41:37that stench into our office.
00:41:39Reputation takes a year
00:41:40to build
00:41:41and one plate of
00:41:42rotten Otoro sushi
00:41:43to destroy.
00:41:49Lisa!
00:41:51Where are you going?
00:41:52My cards are frozen.
00:41:53You have to help me.
00:41:54Help you?
00:41:55Percy?
00:41:56Right now,
00:41:57you're worse than
00:41:57a homeless guy
00:41:58on the street.
00:41:59These bottles
00:42:00are my appearance fee
00:42:01for putting on that show
00:42:02with you for a year.
00:42:03Don't contact me again.
00:42:05I don't want creditors
00:42:06thinking I'm your partner.
00:42:07The love he was so proud of?
00:42:11It ran faster than anyone
00:42:13the moment Iron Anchor
00:42:14got shut down.
00:42:16That's my car!
00:42:18That's my money!
00:42:25Watching Percy
00:42:26fall apart like this,
00:42:27I couldn't help but feel grateful
00:42:29that the woman by my side
00:42:31is Mia.
00:42:34With nowhere left to go,
00:42:36Percy stole mom
00:42:37and dad's retirement savings
00:42:38and borrowed a huge junk
00:42:40of money from the neighbors.
00:42:41My parents called me
00:42:42to handle it.
00:42:43I bought the most expensive
00:42:45estate in Manhattan,
00:42:46a place with a garden
00:42:47bigger than Percy's
00:42:48entire restaurant.
00:42:49I brought Mia back here
00:42:51to show my parents
00:42:51that their younger son,
00:42:53the one they called
00:42:54just a line cook,
00:42:55was the true pride
00:42:56of the family.
00:42:59Mom,
00:43:00just $20,000.
00:43:02Give it to me
00:43:03and I'll pay you back
00:43:04ten times when I'm back on top.
00:43:05You animal!
00:43:06You stole the money
00:43:07mom needs for her heart surgery
00:43:09and you scamp the neighbors.
00:43:10We can't even show
00:43:11our faces outside anymore.
00:43:12Are you going to drive us crazy?
00:43:13Grayson,
00:43:14you ungrateful snake.
00:43:15You live in a mansion
00:43:16where suits worth
00:43:17tens of thousands
00:43:18and you just watch
00:43:19your own brother die?
00:43:20Dad, Mom,
00:43:21here are the keys
00:43:21to your new house,
00:43:22a villa I bought for you
00:43:23on the Upper East Side.
00:43:24It comes with the best
00:43:25in-home doctors.
00:43:27Percy,
00:43:27don't you dare use
00:43:28the word family
00:43:29to disgust me.
00:43:30The moment you stole
00:43:31their retirement money,
00:43:32you should have realized
00:43:32you're already out
00:43:34of this family.
00:43:37Money!
00:43:38That's mine!
00:43:41You owe me!
00:43:42This money is for the neighbors.
00:43:44As for you, Percy,
00:43:45you don't deserve
00:43:46to touch a single cent.
00:43:47I was wearing clothes
00:43:48he could never afford
00:43:48in his lifetime.
00:43:49I was standing
00:43:50at a height
00:43:51he would never reach
00:43:51and he was down
00:43:53on the ground
00:43:53like a dog
00:43:54finally realizing
00:43:55he had lost.
00:44:03Good morning,
00:44:04Mr. Grayson.
00:44:05Thank you for the jobs
00:44:06you've provided.
00:44:07Mr. Grayson,
00:44:08Seamist Restaurant
00:44:09is truly the pride
00:44:10of this entire street.
00:44:12A month ago,
00:44:13when I walked down
00:44:14this street,
00:44:14everyone looked at me
00:44:15like I was a joke.
00:44:16Now,
00:44:17I own half the storefronts
00:44:18on this block
00:44:18and the looks people
00:44:20give me have gone
00:44:20from contempt to respect.
00:44:23Suddenly,
00:44:23from the end of the street,
00:44:24a sharp scream
00:44:25cut through the air
00:44:26followed by a sickening crunch.
00:44:28Two million in penalties!
00:44:30You promised to pay today!
00:44:32Where's the money?
00:44:36He's got money.
00:44:37That's my own brother.
00:44:39Go ask him.
00:44:39He could sneeze
00:44:40and have enough
00:44:41to pay you all off.
00:44:42A piece of trash like you
00:44:43dares to call him your brother?
00:44:44He just issued a statement
00:44:45in the paper.
00:44:46He's cutting all ties with you.
00:44:47No money, huh?
00:44:48Then we do it the old way.
00:44:49Let's start with two fingers.
00:44:57I took Mia's hand
00:44:58and stepped through
00:44:58the magnificent doors
00:44:59of Seamist Restaurant.
00:45:01Behind me,
00:45:01Percy's screams for help
00:45:03echoed as the debt cappers
00:45:04dragged him into the shadows.
00:45:05Please!
00:45:06Go tell those guys
00:45:08don't let any blood
00:45:09get spilled
00:45:09in front of my restaurant
00:45:10and make it quick.
00:45:12Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:45:26From today on,
00:45:27Seamist is no longer
00:45:28just a restaurant.
00:45:29We're going to build
00:45:29the most legitimate
00:45:30food supply chain
00:45:32in this city.
00:45:32And the people on Surlate,
00:45:34if they're clean,
00:45:35no tricks,
00:45:36no dirt,
00:45:36I'll double their pay.
00:45:37Yes, Grayson.
00:45:39Grayson,
00:45:40congratulations on
00:45:41the new company.
00:45:42I left that loser,
00:45:43Percy,
00:45:43because I could see
00:45:44you were the real deal.
00:45:45The one who actually
00:45:46gets things done.
00:45:47Grayson,
00:45:48does Seamist
00:45:49need a PR director?
00:45:50Or maybe
00:45:51a personal assistant?
00:45:52I know everything you like,
00:45:54just like I knew
00:45:55everything about Percy.
00:45:56Lisa, you sure knew Percy.
00:45:57You knew exactly
00:45:58how to kick him
00:45:59when he was down.
00:46:00And you know exactly
00:46:01how to crawl back
00:46:01like a parasite
00:46:02the second you smell money.
00:46:04Miss Lisa,
00:46:04Seamist doesn't need
00:46:05an assistant,
00:46:06but we are looking
00:46:06for a cleaner
00:46:07to take out the trash.
00:46:08But take a look
00:46:09at your clothes.
00:46:09I doubt you could
00:46:10even hold a rag, Stady.
00:46:11Get this piece of
00:46:12cheap, perfumed garbage
00:46:14out of here.
00:46:14From today on,
00:46:15if she shows up
00:46:16within a kilometer
00:46:17of Seamist,
00:46:18call the cops immediately.
00:46:20Grayson!
00:46:20Don't get cocky!
00:46:22You were just
00:46:23a line cook too!
00:46:26I watched her
00:46:27pathetic retreat.
00:46:28In the eyes
00:46:29of opportunists like her,
00:46:30every spot next to me
00:46:31has a price tag.
00:46:33But they don't know.
00:46:34Mia lived with me
00:46:35in that leaky
00:46:36rental apartment.
00:46:37I know for certain,
00:46:39she is the one
00:46:40and only love my life.
00:46:41Why do you keep
00:46:42staring at me?
00:46:46Mia,
00:46:48I think I owe you
00:46:49a grand wedding.
00:47:03Mr. Grayson,
00:47:04do you take Mia
00:47:06to be your wife
00:47:06to cherish her
00:47:08in both poverty
00:47:08and wealth?
00:47:09I do.
00:47:12Today,
00:47:13all those wealthy
00:47:14socialettes
00:47:15who used to mock us
00:47:16as the poor couple
00:47:17are sitting right there
00:47:19in the audience,
00:47:20applauding us
00:47:21with the most
00:47:21flattering cheers.
00:47:23This is the coronation
00:47:24I promised my wife.
00:47:32Grayson,
00:47:33save me!
00:47:33The Deck Kaluers
00:47:34broke my fingers.
00:47:35I'm in the alley
00:47:35right outside the church.
00:47:36Please,
00:47:37just give me 50,000
00:47:38one last time.
00:47:42Is it him?
00:47:51Someone who doesn't matter.
00:47:52He doesn't get
00:47:53to disturb our wedding.
00:47:54I'm not going to
00:47:55pile on someone
00:47:56already down.
00:47:57Not out of mercy.
00:47:58He's just not worth
00:47:59my time.
00:48:00But I'm not a pushover
00:48:02either.
00:48:03Kindness needs teeth
00:48:04or it means nothing.
00:48:14That was mine.
00:48:16That should have been mine.
00:48:17That six million dollars,
00:48:19the fame,
00:48:20the woman,
00:48:21all of it was mine.
00:48:22I bought the most
00:48:23expensive billboard
00:48:24in Times Square.
00:48:25and played my wedding
00:48:26video on loop.
00:48:27Percy watched the screen
00:48:29in fury.
00:48:30Percy,
00:48:30your big shot brother
00:48:31already said he's
00:48:32stripping you
00:48:32of his last name.
00:48:33You don't even have
00:48:34a surname anymore now.
00:48:35He's got money.
00:48:36He's got billions.
00:48:37Go kill him.
00:48:38Kill him and all that money
00:48:39becomes mine.
00:48:40Kill him?
00:48:41Grayson is the mayor's
00:48:42right-hand band now.
00:48:43He's got thousands
00:48:44of bodyguards.
00:48:45But you,
00:48:46your eyeballs are worth
00:48:47something.
00:48:48How about we take them
00:48:48in his interest first?
00:48:52Grayson,
00:48:53you think you've won?
00:48:54Your woman's about
00:48:55to give birth, right?
00:48:57You're going to regret this.
00:48:58I'm going to destroy
00:48:59your happiness.
00:49:00Completely.
00:49:01I thought he would just
00:49:02wither away in his despair.
00:49:05I underestimated how deeply
00:49:06greed and jealousy
00:49:08can twirl and hurt the soul.
00:49:10a vicious plan
00:49:11was closing in on me.
00:49:21Grayson!
00:49:22You live in a mansion
00:49:24worth thousands
00:49:24of square feet
00:49:25and you're going to let me
00:49:26freeze to death out here?
00:49:28Grayson,
00:49:29you know,
00:49:29he is your own brother.
00:49:30Can't you give him
00:49:31one more chance?
00:49:32A year ago,
00:49:32Percy was throwing money
00:49:34around at Iron Anchor
00:49:35while mom and dad
00:49:36lived in that leaky old house.
00:49:37He never once
00:49:38mentioned family.
00:49:39Now that he's drowning,
00:49:41he's using our elderly parents
00:49:42to play the guilt card.
00:49:44That kind of guilt
00:49:44is disgusted
00:49:45even more than that
00:49:46plate of rotten motosushi.
00:49:53Brother!
00:49:54Save me!
00:49:55Just transfer 10...
00:49:5610% of CMYS shares to me
00:49:59and the creditors
00:50:00will leave me alone!
00:50:01Mom and dad,
00:50:01please say something for me!
00:50:04Grayson,
00:50:04those deck cleapers
00:50:05are beating Percy
00:50:06half to death.
00:50:07He still has the strength
00:50:08to beg.
00:50:08He still has the strength
00:50:09to come here.
00:50:10He's perfectly capable
00:50:11of pulling himself
00:50:12out of this mess.
00:50:14You cold-blooded freak!
00:50:23You tried to hurt
00:50:25your own little brother?
00:50:27Mom, dad,
00:50:29this is the son
00:50:30you wanted me to help.
00:50:31He never once
00:50:32thought of us as family.
00:50:36I never kick a man
00:50:37when he's down,
00:50:38but I will not repay
00:50:39evil with kindness.
00:50:42In that moment,
00:50:43his last family card
00:50:45was burned to ash
00:50:46by my own hand.
00:50:48You animal!
00:50:49Now we only have
00:50:50one son, Grayson!
00:50:52Don't you ever show
00:50:53your face in front
00:50:53of us again!
00:50:54No, no!
00:50:56No!
00:50:56Mom!
00:50:57Dad!
00:50:57No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:59No!
00:51:00No!
00:51:00No!
00:51:04That hopeless bastard.
00:51:06Grayson,
00:51:07it was our fault
00:51:08for asking you
00:51:08to help him.
00:51:10Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:51:13Mr. Grayson,
00:51:13it's bad.
00:51:14While your parents
00:51:15were asleep,
00:51:15a man claiming
00:51:16to be their son
00:51:17forced his way in
00:51:18and took their bags.
00:51:19That animal?
00:51:20Those bags had
00:51:21Mom and Dad's
00:51:22life savings!
00:51:23Their only retirement money!
00:51:26I thought Percy
00:51:27would just crawl
00:51:28into some corner
00:51:29and wait to die
00:51:30after being exposed.
00:51:32I underestimated
00:51:32how desperate
00:51:33a gambler
00:51:34with nothing left
00:51:34to loss can become.
00:51:41He didn't steal
00:51:42that money
00:51:42to pay off his debts.
00:51:43He stole it
00:51:44to feed his delusional
00:51:45dream of a comeback.
00:51:49Grayson,
00:51:50we found him.
00:51:51Percy is hooked up
00:51:52with an underground
00:51:53factory in Brooklyn.
00:51:53They produce
00:51:54illegal chemical flavorings
00:51:56that are highly addictive.
00:51:57He's trying to use
00:51:58those poisons
00:51:58to copy sea mist's taste
00:52:00and force his way
00:52:00back into the market.
00:52:01For a little money,
00:52:02he's willing to do
00:52:03something like this?
00:52:16Get the best medical team
00:52:18in the country.
00:52:1824-hour care
00:52:19for Mom and Dad.
00:52:20Do whatever it takes
00:52:21to keep them
00:52:22from finding out
00:52:22what that bastard
00:52:23Percy has done.
00:52:23As for Percy,
00:52:25I'm going to make him pay.
00:52:28Before,
00:52:28I just wanted to see him
00:52:30broken on the streets.
00:52:31Now,
00:52:32I'm going to take him
00:52:33out myself.
00:52:40Talk!
00:52:41What did that
00:52:42ungrateful bastard
00:52:43give you?
00:52:43How dare you call him
00:52:45the most conscientious
00:52:46chef in Manhattan
00:52:47on livestream?
00:52:48He was about to pass out
00:52:50from hunger
00:52:50and I gave him a burger.
00:52:52He's a good man.
00:52:53You're the real demon.
00:52:56A good man?
00:52:58I'll break the hand
00:52:59that fed him.
00:53:00You're the real demon.
00:53:05Percy, go ahead.
00:53:07Touch that hand
00:53:07and see what happens.
00:53:09Grayson!
00:53:10Grayson!
00:53:11You think just because
00:53:11you're some big shot now
00:53:13you're untouchable?
00:53:14This old man
00:53:14insulted me.
00:53:15I'll kill him!
00:53:20My hand!
00:53:21Grayson,
00:53:22you crazy bastard!
00:53:23That one's for the burger.
00:53:26My rule is simple.
00:53:28A kindness,
00:53:28I return it tenfold.
00:53:30A slight,
00:53:31I break the bone
00:53:32and from that
00:53:33delivered it.
00:53:37Sir,
00:53:38an apartment
00:53:39on the Upper East Side
00:53:40and a restaurant
00:53:41on Sorelli Street.
00:53:43They're yours now.
00:53:44Mr. Grayson,
00:53:47this is too much.
00:53:50This is nothing
00:53:51next to that burger
00:53:51you gave me back then.
00:53:53Percy lay there
00:53:54in the filthy water
00:53:55watching the trash
00:53:56you've just been kicking
00:53:57suddenly become
00:53:58the property
00:53:58you've never dreamed of.
00:54:00Jealousy
00:54:01and turns over
00:54:02half insane.
00:54:08You just wait!
00:54:11While I sat atop
00:54:12Sea Mist restaurant,
00:54:14enjoying the rich aroma
00:54:15of premium Wagyu,
00:54:17Percy was hiding
00:54:18in the stinking alleys
00:54:19of the slums,
00:54:20trying to make
00:54:21his last desperate comeback.
00:54:24Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:54:26You see in this?
00:54:28This is what real charity
00:54:29looks like.
00:54:30Sea Mist charges
00:54:31thousands for one meal.
00:54:33That's robbery!
00:54:34My bliss box
00:54:35is only $9.99.
00:54:38$9.99!
00:54:39Get it while it lasts!
00:54:41You losers!
00:54:43Eat it or don't,
00:54:44I don't care!
00:54:45Once I save up enough
00:54:46to buy out the Sea Mist,
00:54:47you could beg for it
00:54:48on your knees!
00:54:48Get lost!
00:54:49All of you haters,
00:54:51get lost!
00:54:52He had become
00:54:53a complete outcast,
00:54:55despised by the entire internet.
00:54:56He was poisoning
00:54:57those poor people,
00:54:58using that nerve-destroying
00:55:00addictive flavoring
00:55:01to make money,
00:55:02dreaming of making a comeback.
00:55:03He was knight.
00:55:05The foundation of business
00:55:06has never been
00:55:06violent addiction.
00:55:07It's absolute control
00:55:09over the global supply chain.
00:55:16Grayson,
00:55:17you came to laugh
00:55:18at me?
00:55:18Look!
00:55:19Look at all these people
00:55:21in line!
00:55:21My capital is doubling!
00:55:23Soon I'll be able
00:55:24to buy out
00:55:24your fake little restaurant!
00:55:26What have you got
00:55:27to fight me with?
00:55:29In Sea Mist Group's name,
00:55:31inform the Global Spice Association.
00:55:32From this moment on,
00:55:34whoever sells
00:55:34one gram of spice
00:55:35to any factory
00:55:36connected to Percy
00:55:37will be permanently erased
00:55:38from the global supply chain.
00:55:39Spice?
00:55:39I've got money,
00:55:40you idiot!
00:55:41I'll just buy some
00:55:42from Chinatown!
00:55:43Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:55:47What?
00:55:48Not just the big suppliers?
00:55:49Even the small workshops
00:55:50are cancelling?
00:55:51They're demanding
00:55:52triple the refund?
00:55:53Without spice,
00:55:54I can't cover up
00:55:55the bitterness
00:55:55of all that expired
00:55:56rotten meat!
00:55:57Hello?
00:55:57Percy,
00:55:58without fire and salt,
00:55:59you can't even cook
00:56:00a plate of garbage.
00:56:02I cut off
00:56:03his last lifeline.
00:56:07Ah!
00:56:12Leo,
00:56:13you're the person
00:56:14Grayson trusts the most.
00:56:15Just put one drop
00:56:16of this vial
00:56:17into his tuna.
00:56:18This five million
00:56:19and shares
00:56:20in the new company.
00:56:21It's all yours.
00:56:23Five million.
00:56:24Gotta admit,
00:56:25that's tempting.
00:56:26Ha ha ha ha!
00:56:27Good!
00:56:27That arrogant bastard,
00:56:29Grayson,
00:56:29he never imagined
00:56:30he'd be betrayed
00:56:31by someone he saved.
00:56:33Percy looks like
00:56:34you forgot.
00:56:35Leo was about
00:56:36to go under
00:56:36and I'm the one
00:56:37who pulled him out.
00:56:39Your filthy money
00:56:39couldn't even buy back
00:56:40the life I saved
00:56:41for him back then.
00:56:43When I save someone,
00:56:44loyalty is in their blood.
00:56:47Percy's blood?
00:56:48It's pure,
00:56:49rotting greed.
00:56:51Trying to buy loyalty
00:56:52with filthy garbage
00:56:53like that
00:56:53is basically him
00:56:54executing
00:56:55whatever intelligence
00:56:56he had left.
00:56:58Tell me,
00:57:00if you drank that stuff
00:57:01you cooked up yourself,
00:57:02what do you think
00:57:02would happen?
00:57:04No.
00:57:06No.
00:57:07Grayson,
00:57:07I'm your own brother.
00:57:09Don't kill me.
00:57:10Kill you?
00:57:12That would dirty
00:57:13my basement.
00:57:16Send him back.
00:57:18Crawling in the mud,
00:57:19that's the only thing
00:57:19that suits him.
00:57:20He took a step
00:57:21against me,
00:57:22so I'll make sure
00:57:22he never walks
00:57:23straight again.
00:57:24His dignity?
00:57:25I've stomped it
00:57:26straight into the gutter.
00:57:30Starting today,
00:57:32the C-Mist group
00:57:33is acquiring
00:57:33every last shop
00:57:34on Surla Street.
00:57:36All of you
00:57:36who didn't follow Percy
00:57:37when he was doing
00:57:38his dirty work,
00:57:39you each receive
00:57:40a 5%
00:57:41in the original shares.
00:57:45I came back
00:57:46to rebuild,
00:57:47not to take revenge.
00:57:49I wanted these
00:57:50honest people to know
00:57:51follow Grayson
00:57:52and even a vegetable seller
00:57:54can stand tall
00:57:55and make money
00:57:55right here in Manhattan.
00:58:01Hurry up.
00:58:02Just give me some bread.
00:58:03I'm starving.
00:58:04Here.
00:58:05Mr. Grayson
00:58:05specifically asked
00:58:06for this,
00:58:07for some special people.
00:58:09Three-day-old,
00:58:10stale ends.
00:58:13I watched him.
00:58:16He once wanted
00:58:17to starve me.
00:58:19Now,
00:58:20he's only breathing
00:58:21because I choose
00:58:22to throw him scraps.
00:58:25Percy,
00:58:26you're not off
00:58:26the hook yet.
00:58:27That illegal
00:58:28factory's poison?
00:58:30Time for you
00:58:31to take a sip yourself.
00:58:37Everyone,
00:58:38sea mist restaurants,
00:58:39so-called natural ingredients,
00:58:41are nothing but a lie
00:58:42for the rich.
00:58:43Today,
00:58:44I'm going to expose
00:58:45Grayson's crimes,
00:58:46monopolizing spices
00:58:47and driving up prices.
00:58:52Our tech-based food
00:58:54costs only 1%
00:58:55of sea mistes,
00:58:56but tastes
00:58:56exactly the same.
00:58:58Grayson's era
00:58:59is over!
00:59:01I saw Percy's
00:59:02little circus act
00:59:03on the screen
00:59:03and it did nothing to me.
00:59:05He's cozying up
00:59:05to those drug manufacturers
00:59:07who skate just inside the law
00:59:08trying to define great food
00:59:09with cheap-mical garbage.
00:59:10He doesn't understand.
00:59:12Real top-tier ingredients
00:59:13are a gift from the earth
00:59:14and the sun,
00:59:14not some molecular arrangement
00:59:16in a lab.
00:59:21Today,
00:59:22the sea mist group
00:59:22will roll out
00:59:23the global restaurant
00:59:24platinum standard.
00:59:26Any restaurant
00:59:26that does not meet
00:59:27the natural supply chain audit
00:59:28will be removed
00:59:29from the global procurement
00:59:30wild-based for good.
00:59:34Mr. Grayson's proposal
00:59:35is a beacon
00:59:36for the restaurant industry
00:59:37and we support it
00:59:39100%.
00:59:40While Percy was still
00:59:41in that dark little corner
00:59:42trying to smear my name,
00:59:44I was at the top
00:59:45of the food chain,
00:59:47rewriting the rules
00:59:48of the game.
00:59:49He thinks he's competing
00:59:50with me.
00:59:51The truth is,
00:59:53he's just swarming
00:59:54between my fingers.
00:59:55Ah!
00:59:56This is impossible!
00:59:57Why would the WTO
00:59:59stand up for a guy
01:00:00who used to be
01:00:00a line cook?
01:00:03Leo,
01:00:04tell the people
01:00:04next door
01:00:05that my press conference
01:00:06is over.
01:00:07Now,
01:00:08it's time
01:00:09to take out the trash.
01:00:17Grayson,
01:00:18this is illegal entry.
01:00:20My tech food
01:00:21is the future
01:00:22of the industry.
01:00:23The future
01:00:23of the industry?
01:00:24This chemical waste
01:00:26that makes people
01:00:26hallucinate?
01:00:27This bowl
01:00:28of plain
01:00:29kanji
01:00:30made simply
01:00:30with rice
01:00:31from the 40th
01:00:32parallel north
01:00:32and spring water
01:00:33from Crimea.
01:00:34Judges,
01:00:34please.
01:00:37This is the taste
01:00:39of a mother's cooking.
01:00:40This is the pure
01:00:41warmth of the earth.
01:00:42Today,
01:00:42I destroyed all his
01:00:43hypocrisy and arrogance
01:00:44with a single bowl
01:00:45of plain kanji.
01:00:46A true master chef
01:00:47doesn't need complex recipes.
01:00:49All he needs
01:00:49is a heart
01:00:50that respects nature.
01:00:51Percy's lab-made
01:00:52perfect flavor
01:00:52compared to the real deal.
01:00:54It's just a toxic fraud.
01:00:56This is the molecular formula
01:00:57for your synthetic meat.
01:01:00There's a high dose
01:01:01of neural blockers
01:01:02in this.
01:01:02Keep eating it
01:01:03and you'll go crazy.
01:01:05Percy,
01:01:06this isn't cooking.
01:01:07It's straight up murder.
01:01:10Murderer!
01:01:11Get out of Manhattan!
01:01:12Go to hell,
01:01:13you piece of trash!
01:01:14No,
01:01:15this isn't true!
01:01:16Grayson,
01:01:17you're setting me up!
01:01:18Percy,
01:01:18the moment you decided
01:01:19to poison the world
01:01:20with your drugs,
01:01:21the gates of hell
01:01:21were already open for you.
01:01:27Percy knelt on the ground,
01:01:28covered in filth,
01:01:29clinging to his father's legs
01:01:30and wailing.
01:01:31His illegal lab
01:01:32had just been raided
01:01:33by the police.
01:01:33He was now a wanted criminal
01:01:35across the country.
01:01:36Dad, Mom,
01:01:37save me!
01:01:38Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:01:39He's gonna throw me
01:01:41into the meat grinder
01:01:42with all those creditors!
01:01:45Percy,
01:01:47you are still
01:01:48my eldest son after all.
01:01:55Grayson,
01:01:56could you maybe
01:02:02Mom,
01:02:02even now,
01:02:03you still think
01:02:03he just made a mistake?
01:02:05The first one,
01:02:06this is the pension
01:02:06transfer authorization
01:02:07he personally signed
01:02:08while you were both
01:02:09in the hospital.
01:02:10The second one,
01:02:11this is the contract
01:02:12where he mortgaged
01:02:12this family home
01:02:13to underground loan sharks
01:02:14behind your backs.
01:02:19You animal!
01:02:20You even stole
01:02:21our funeral fund!
01:02:21Do you want the two of us
01:02:22to die on the street?
01:02:23Dad,
01:02:24I was trying
01:02:24to make a comeback!
01:02:25Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:02:26I could buy you
01:02:26a hundred penthouses!
01:02:27Go.
01:02:28Just go, Percy.
01:02:30I don't have a son
01:02:31like you anymore.
01:02:32Percy,
01:02:33the biggest mistake
01:02:34you ever made
01:02:35was treating
01:02:36everyone around you
01:02:37as sacrificial lambs
01:02:38for your own success.
01:02:40Starting today,
01:02:42you are out
01:02:42of this family.
01:02:44Percy,
01:02:45do you remember
01:02:45what you said?
01:02:46That one of us
01:02:47would take over the world
01:02:48and the other
01:02:48would fade into obscurity?
01:02:50I'm going to make sure
01:02:50you watch me
01:02:51take over the world.
01:02:52Grayson,
01:02:53you goddamn bastard!
01:02:58Grayson,
01:02:59you said you wanted
01:03:00to settle family
01:03:01outcounts on this day.
01:03:02If you don't have
01:03:03solid evidence,
01:03:04you know the consequences.
01:03:06The Thorn family rule
01:03:07is pragmatism.
01:03:09But in dismantations,
01:03:11rules are just
01:03:11a cover-up
01:03:12for his greed.
01:03:13A year ago,
01:03:14Percy stood at a family
01:03:15gathering and mocked
01:03:16these hands of mine,
01:03:17saying they were only good
01:03:18for holding a kitchen knife.
01:03:19Today, I'm not just
01:03:20taking back my dignity.
01:03:21I'm tearing apart
01:03:22his lies with my own hands.
01:03:23He thought being family
01:03:25would save him,
01:03:25like a free pass.
01:03:26What he didn't know
01:03:27is that before absolute rules,
01:03:29every single betrayal
01:03:30comes with a price.
01:03:32First crime,
01:03:32exploitation.
01:03:34In the three years
01:03:34at Iron Anchor,
01:03:35he withheld $90,000
01:03:36of my front
01:03:37for Pjorkin payment
01:03:37and treated me
01:03:38like cheap liber.
01:03:39Second crime,
01:03:40poisoning.
01:03:41He colluded with
01:03:41chemical companies
01:03:42and added nerve-blocking
01:03:43agents to the ingredients.
01:03:44This is a direct assault
01:03:45on the 100-year reputation.
01:03:47Third crime,
01:03:48attempted murder.
01:03:49He tried to attack
01:03:50and harm me.
01:03:52You animal!
01:03:54You dared to harm
01:03:55your own brother?
01:03:56Fourth crime,
01:03:57and the most unforgivable one,
01:03:59embezzlement.
01:03:59While our parents
01:04:00were in the hospital,
01:04:01he stole their pension
01:04:02and mortgaged
01:04:03the family home.
01:04:04He tried to push
01:04:05the very people
01:04:05who raised him
01:04:06into the Hudson River.
01:04:07No!
01:04:07That was all for business!
01:04:09Grayson,
01:04:10you're insane!
01:04:11Evidence is cold,
01:04:12but people's hearts are hot.
01:04:13The moment those four crimes
01:04:14came together
01:04:15to these elders,
01:04:16he was no longer
01:04:16the hope of the family.
01:04:17He was a rotting sword
01:04:18that had to be cut out.
01:04:19You worthless bastard!
01:04:20What do you have to say
01:04:21for yourself?
01:04:28Elder,
01:04:29even if I was wrong,
01:04:30I'm the only business genius
01:04:31in this family.
01:04:32Grayson is just a cook,
01:04:33he can't protect
01:04:34the family's legacy!
01:04:35A business genius?
01:04:37Parsi,
01:04:38all your so-called management
01:04:39is just chasing
01:04:40internet fame
01:04:41while clinging
01:04:41to the dying
01:04:42Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:04:47This is CMIST Group's valuation.
01:04:50$100 billion.
01:04:51I don't just control
01:04:52one-third of the top-tier
01:04:53supply gen.
01:04:54I also have the
01:04:55industry medal
01:04:56personally awarded
01:04:56by the World Trade Organization.
01:04:58I wasn't showing them money,
01:04:59but absolute dominance.
01:05:01In this world,
01:05:01capital speaks,
01:05:02and the highest level of capital,
01:05:03it makes people kneel.
01:05:05Percy thought he was
01:05:06running a business.
01:05:07Me?
01:05:07I'm running an era.
01:05:08When I spread out these reports
01:05:09enough to buy half of New York,
01:05:10his pathetic little assets
01:05:12wouldn't even be enough
01:05:12to pay my taxes.
01:05:14One...
01:05:15$100 billion?
01:05:16Grayson,
01:05:17you did this in just one year?
01:05:19Please, Mr. Grayson,
01:05:20take your place
01:05:21as the head of the family!
01:05:22That's mine!
01:05:23That was supposed to be mine!
01:05:25Grayson,
01:05:26what right do you have,
01:05:27you lowly line cook?
01:05:28Percy,
01:05:29take a good look.
01:05:30In this world,
01:05:31the strong make the rules.
01:05:33The weak
01:05:34just wait to die.
01:05:36I stand at the summit,
01:05:37looking down at him.
01:05:38He once wanted me to kneel.
01:05:40Now,
01:05:41he wasn't even worthy
01:05:42to lift his head
01:05:43and look at me.
01:05:51Thorn Percy,
01:05:52from this moment on,
01:05:53you no longer carry
01:05:54the Thorn name.
01:05:55You are out of this family.
01:05:57No!
01:05:57You can't tear it!
01:05:58I am a Thorn!
01:05:59I have Thorn blood
01:06:00running through my veins!
01:06:02Without the family,
01:06:02the creditors would tear
01:06:03Percy to pieces.
01:06:04I knew that,
01:06:05and I didn't help them.
01:06:06Percy,
01:06:07the moment you stole
01:06:08Mum and Dad's pension,
01:06:09you had no blood relation left.
01:06:10I watched that page
01:06:11get consumed by the flames,
01:06:12turning to ash.
01:06:13In Thorn family tradition,
01:06:14being expelled
01:06:15means social death.
01:06:16From now on,
01:06:16he is no one's son,
01:06:17no one's brother.
01:06:18As a nameless nobody
01:06:19in the filthiest sewers,
01:06:20he will pay back
01:06:20every blood bet he owed.
01:06:21I want you to live
01:06:23as a man with no name.
01:06:26Grayson!
01:06:27You bastard!
01:06:29Without my hundred thousand dollars,
01:06:31you'd still be a cockroach
01:06:32in the gutter!
01:06:33A pathetic,
01:06:35lowly line cook!
01:06:44From this day forward,
01:06:45the Thorn family
01:06:46has no Percy.
01:06:47I looked up
01:06:48at the skyscrapers
01:06:49in the distance.
01:06:57No money!
01:06:58Then pay with your life!
01:07:00The Thorn family
01:07:01has already thrown you
01:07:02away like garbage.
01:07:04Right now,
01:07:05you're worse than
01:07:06the rats this alley.
01:07:10Please,
01:07:11just give me one more day,
01:07:13just one day!
01:07:14Grayson has money,
01:07:15he has hundreds
01:07:16of billions!
01:07:18He could pluck
01:07:19a hair off his body
01:07:20and it would be enough
01:07:20to pay you all back.
01:07:25In Manhattan,
01:07:26the highest form
01:07:27of rejection
01:07:27isn't insults,
01:07:29it's silence.
01:07:30Right now,
01:07:31I'm sitting within
01:07:31arm rage of him,
01:07:32but I can't even be bothered
01:07:34to lift a finger.
01:07:35The moment he stole
01:07:36our parents' last bit
01:07:37of survival money,
01:07:37he lost even the right
01:07:38to die inside my thoughts.
01:07:40Grayson!
01:07:41My good little brother!
01:07:43Save me!
01:07:43They want my organs!
01:07:45They're gonna chop me up
01:07:46and feed me to the fish!
01:07:47Give me a million!
01:07:48No,
01:07:48five hundred thousand,
01:07:49just that much!
01:08:06Percy used to say
01:08:07that money was
01:08:08the only true faith
01:08:09in this world.
01:08:10Since he loves money
01:08:11so much,
01:08:12I'll let him feel
01:08:13what it's like
01:08:13when that money
01:08:14becomes a pile of stones
01:08:15crushing his spine.
01:08:24Percy!
01:08:25This is the money
01:08:26you owe us!
01:08:27The price of our sweat!
01:08:28Our blood!
01:08:29Take these bills
01:08:30and crawl back
01:08:31back to your hell!
01:08:39Money!
01:08:40My money!
01:08:42Grayson, you finally
01:08:43gave me money!
01:08:44I win!
01:08:46Percy, take a good look.
01:08:47The thing you treat
01:08:48as your religion,
01:08:49to me,
01:08:50is just spare change
01:08:52for trash.
01:08:55I used to be a line cook
01:08:56worth only $2,000.
01:08:58Now I've made him understand.
01:09:00In front of absolute skill
01:09:02and absolute rules,
01:09:03all a greedy man
01:09:04will ever get
01:09:05is a pile of worthless paper.
01:09:18Listen up, everyone.
01:09:20From today on,
01:09:21there's only one standard
01:09:22on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:09:24The Sea Mist
01:09:25Ethical Chef Standard.
01:09:28Any chef who makes it
01:09:30onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:09:31I will personally vouch
01:09:32for their professional integrity.
01:09:33In return,
01:09:34Sea Mist guarantees
01:09:34their salary will double,
01:09:35but if anyone dares
01:09:37to put even one gram
01:09:38of dirty ingredients
01:09:38into their food,
01:09:39I promise you,
01:09:40they will never have the chance
01:09:41to pick up a pair
01:09:42of chopsticks again.
01:09:46Grayson,
01:09:47you're absolutely right.
01:09:48Now that you've laid down
01:09:49the rules,
01:09:50none of us would dare
01:09:50to think otherwise.
01:09:52We'll do everything
01:09:53according to Sea Mist rules.
01:10:03Joss,
01:10:04Grayson asked me
01:10:05to tell you something.
01:10:07Since you loved
01:10:08helping Percy handle
01:10:09all that rotten,
01:10:09dirty meat back in the day.
01:10:12You can take on
01:10:13the dirtiest,
01:10:13most disgusting jobs
01:10:15all by yourself
01:10:16for the rest of your life.
01:10:18Grayson!
01:10:20I really know
01:10:21I was wrong.
01:10:22I was just following orders.
01:10:25Please,
01:10:26let me go back
01:10:27to cutting vegetables.
01:10:29I don't even need money.
01:10:31Just let me back
01:10:32into a kitchen.
01:10:37Go back to cutting vegetables?
01:10:39Joss,
01:10:40you're way too naive.
01:10:41You've been blacklisted
01:10:41by the entire restaurant,
01:10:43industry.
01:10:44No!
01:10:44No!
01:10:55New York is just
01:10:57the beginning.
01:11:02Grayson,
01:11:03look how soundly
01:11:03the baby is sleeping.
01:11:05He's going to inherit
01:11:07everything I've built.
01:11:15Try this.
01:11:21I've given Mia
01:11:22the most precious love
01:11:23in the world
01:11:25because she was there
01:11:26for me when the road
01:11:27was darkest.
01:11:29This single piece
01:11:30of Satimi
01:11:30is worth a fortune,
01:11:32but it still can't compare
01:11:34to the hug
01:11:34she gave me back then.
01:11:35That was mine.
01:11:37That should have been
01:11:38my spot.
01:11:40Leo,
01:11:41the flies outside
01:11:43are too noisy.
01:11:44Clean them up.
01:11:49On opposite sides
01:11:50of a fence,
01:11:52worlds apart.
01:12:03Grayson,
01:12:04I knew it.
01:12:05I knew you would
01:12:06come back.
01:12:07Professor,
01:12:08if it weren't
01:12:09for that hard bread
01:12:10you gave me back then,
01:12:10I wouldn't have made it
01:12:11until C-Mist opened.
01:12:13On behalf of the
01:12:13C-Mist group,
01:12:14I am donating
01:12:15$10 billion,
01:12:16not just for the school,
01:12:18but to honor
01:12:18Professor Smith's
01:12:19craftsmanship.
01:12:22Grayson,
01:12:23does the Research Institute
01:12:24need any logistics staff?
01:12:25We haven't been doing well
01:12:26these past few years.
01:12:27For old times' sake,
01:12:28I remember you.
01:12:29You said back then
01:12:30that I was only fit
01:12:31to clean your toilets.
01:12:32That was a joke.
01:12:33Grayson,
01:12:34we'd take any job,
01:12:35even a janitor
01:12:36at the Research Institute.
01:12:38Tell HR
01:12:39every single position
01:12:39at the Research Institute
01:12:40from security
01:12:41to cleaning staff
01:12:41to the guys
01:12:42mowing the lawn
01:12:42I have to interview
01:12:43them personally.
01:12:44I watched the fear
01:12:45and greed in their eyes
01:12:45and I felt nothing.
01:12:46Class,
01:12:47it used to be their
01:12:48weapon for bullying me.
01:12:50Now,
01:12:50it's my shackles
01:12:51for judging them.
01:12:58Sir,
01:12:58I used to run a restaurant.
01:13:00I know a lot
01:13:01about trash sorting.
01:13:02Please,
01:13:02just give me a job
01:13:04so I can eat.
01:13:04Alert.
01:13:05Blacklisted individual detected.
01:13:06Persing.
01:13:07Permission level
01:13:07permanently banned.
01:13:12Get lost!
01:13:13Every single business
01:13:15under sea mist,
01:13:16even our trash dump,
01:13:17won't take scum like you.
01:13:23Grayson!
01:13:24You can't do this to me!
01:13:26I'm your own brother!
01:13:28I bought up all the
01:13:29trash processing rights
01:13:30in Manhattan,
01:13:31not just for the monopoly,
01:13:32but to make sure
01:13:33certain scumbags
01:13:34have nowhere left
01:13:35to hide in this city.
01:13:36He once said
01:13:37I was a line cook
01:13:37who could be replaced
01:13:38by any homeless guy
01:13:39off the street.
01:13:40Now,
01:13:41he doesn't even qualify
01:13:42to be a sorter.
01:13:43The AI recognition
01:13:44system upgrade
01:13:45looks good.
01:13:46Give the tech department
01:13:47a bonus.
01:13:49The struggles
01:13:50of a clown like this
01:13:50aren't even worth
01:13:51a second of my anger
01:13:52anymore.
01:13:53His misery is just
01:13:54background noise
01:13:54on my way to the top.
01:14:08In the old era
01:14:09of the food industry,
01:14:10the exploiters believed
01:14:11that as long as
01:14:11they controlled the capital,
01:14:12they could run over skill
01:14:13and destroy a chef's soul.
01:14:15But the rise of sea mist
01:14:16is here to tell everyone
01:14:17in this room,
01:14:17I am rewriting the rules.
01:14:19The exploiters will eventually
01:14:20be abandoned by the times,
01:14:21but the craftsmen
01:14:22who protect the soul,
01:14:22they will be crowned kings.
01:14:24I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:14:25I was declaring war
01:14:27on this cold-blooded
01:14:28world of capital.
01:14:29A year ago,
01:14:29they were Percy's guests
01:14:30of honor,
01:14:31laughing as I got thrown
01:14:32out on my ass.
01:14:33Today,
01:14:34with sea mist standards,
01:14:35I've put a shackle
01:14:36called conscience
01:14:37around every single one
01:14:38of their necks.
01:14:39Grayson,
01:14:40sea mist group's valuation
01:14:40can no longer be measured
01:14:41by money.
01:14:42What is your next goal?
01:14:43My goal is to make sure
01:14:43there is no more soil
01:14:44in this world
01:14:44for a cancer like Percy to grow.
01:14:46I saw it in the eyes
01:14:47of those tycoons
01:14:48who once seemed untouchable,
01:14:49a fear they've never felt before.
01:14:51The underdog's rise
01:14:53isn't a myth.
01:14:54It's the judgment
01:14:54I wrote with my own hands.
01:14:59Grayson!
01:15:00I'm cooperating.
01:15:00I'll tell you everything.
01:15:01Three months ago,
01:15:02that maniac Percy
01:15:03bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:15:04He took high concentration,
01:15:05harmful chemicals.
01:15:06Make it clear.
01:15:08He wants to destroy
01:15:09sea mist's air.
01:15:10He's planning to put
01:15:11harmful substances
01:15:12in that batch
01:15:12of special supply milk powder.
01:15:13I thought stripping him
01:15:15of his name
01:15:15and letting him rot
01:15:16in the gutter like a rat
01:15:17was my final act of mercy.
01:15:18But I underestimated
01:15:19how vicious a mad dog can be.
01:15:22He dared to reach
01:15:23his filthy hands
01:15:23towards my child.
01:15:25Leo,
01:15:25go take care of something.
01:15:27Please give your orders,
01:15:28Mr. Grayson.
01:15:29Mobilize the global legal team.
01:15:30Yes, sir.
01:15:31I want Percy to spend
01:15:32the rest of his life
01:15:33in the coldest,
01:15:33darkest prison cell
01:15:34they can find.
01:15:35Tell the warden,
01:15:36I don't want him dead.
01:15:37I want him to accidentally
01:15:38live to be 100 every single day,
01:15:39surrounded by sickness
01:15:40and the torture
01:15:41of those creditors.
01:15:42Watching the glory
01:15:42of my sea mist restaurant
01:15:43shine in the sunlight.
01:15:45Blinding him from behind
01:15:46those bars.
01:15:47Since he doesn't want
01:15:48to be human,
01:15:48I'll send him to real hell.
01:15:49I want him to live
01:15:50in endless regret,
01:15:51a dying flame
01:15:51in the depths of hell.
01:15:56Defendant Percy,
01:15:57on multiple counts,
01:15:58including food safety violations,
01:16:00attempted harm,
01:16:01malicious tempering,
01:16:02and massive fraud,
01:16:03you are hereby sentenced
01:16:04to life in prison
01:16:05without parole.
01:16:06No!
01:16:07I won't accept this!
01:16:08Grayson, you devil!
01:16:09You manipulated everything!
01:16:11A year ago,
01:16:12I begged him in the rain
01:16:13to leave mom and dad
01:16:14some money
01:16:14for their medical bees.
01:16:15He tore my dignity
01:16:16to shreds in public,
01:16:17and now he wants
01:16:18to talk about blood?
01:16:19The moment he reached
01:16:20for mom and dad's pension,
01:16:21the moment he reached
01:16:22for my baby's milk powder,
01:16:24he cut that vein
01:16:25with his own hands.
01:16:29Grayson,
01:16:30all that mess in Manhattan,
01:16:32it's finally over.
01:16:35We were blind back then.
01:16:37It was our fault.
01:16:39Mom, it's all in the past.
01:16:40I watched the relieved smiles
01:16:42on my parents' faces.
01:16:44Finally, they were free
01:16:45from that nightmare.
01:16:48Percy is counting lice
01:16:49in a cold prison cell.
01:16:51And my family?
01:16:53We're standing in the sunlight.
01:16:57He rewrote how this industry
01:16:59exploits people.
01:17:00He protected the soul
01:17:01of ingredients.
01:17:02Now let us welcome
01:17:03the world's top culinary leader,
01:17:05Grayson!
01:17:08Today, this trophy
01:17:10doesn't belong to me alone.
01:17:11It belongs to everyone.
01:17:12I'm not standing here
01:17:13to enjoy some empty fame.
01:17:14I'm here to issue
01:17:15the new C-Mist decree.
01:17:16These people,
01:17:17they were once exploited
01:17:18by Percy at Iron Locker.
01:17:19I announced that C-Mist Group
01:17:20will set up a $1 billion
01:17:21support fund.
01:17:22Every front-line employee
01:17:24who suffered exploitation,
01:17:25as long as you pass
01:17:26the assessment,
01:17:27C-Mist will grant you
01:17:27the right to open
01:17:28a franchise free move.
01:17:29Long live, Grayson!
01:17:30This is what a real
01:17:31slap in the face looks like.
01:17:33I'm going to make
01:17:33Percy watch on TV.
01:17:35All those people
01:17:36who called homeless bums
01:17:37are becoming millionaires
01:17:38under my wing.
01:17:39And him?
01:17:40He can't even afford
01:17:41a roll of toilet paper.
01:17:45Grayson,
01:17:45two-thirds of the
01:17:46Michelin restaurants
01:17:47around the world
01:17:47have already applied
01:17:48to join the C-Mist
01:17:49certification standard.
01:17:53Then let them
01:17:54wait in line.
01:17:55We make the rules.
01:17:58One year ago,
01:17:59I was at the other end
01:18:00of this city
01:18:00holding only $10,000
01:18:02the money I'd bled for.
01:18:03Now,
01:18:04this building beneath my feet,
01:18:05plus thousands of branches
01:18:06around the world,
01:18:07my net worth
01:18:07has exceeded $100 billion.
01:18:09And this Manhattan
01:18:09reeking of money?
01:18:10I use the most humble skills
01:18:12to level every injustice.
01:18:14What are you thinking about?
01:18:18I'm thinking
01:18:19that poor kid
01:18:21who rented that $500 dump
01:18:22had pretty good taste.
01:18:26That was the best investment
01:18:27in the world.
01:18:28The name Percy
01:18:28has been burned to ash
01:18:29from the family tree
01:18:30and erased
01:18:31from this city's history.
01:18:32From now on,
01:18:33no more iron anchor
01:18:34in Manhattan,
01:18:34only C-Mist.
01:18:35Survival of the fittest
01:18:36was the old rule.
01:18:37My rule?
01:18:38Let the ones with soul
01:18:39rise to the top.
01:18:40I'm Grayson.
01:18:41The C-Mist era
01:18:42never ends.
