00:00:00I am Grayson. My brother and I started a restaurant a year ago. Business was crazy.
00:00:04We cleared six million in one year. But me? He gave me only a hundred grand.
00:00:09A prep cook barely makes two thousand a month. I gave you a hundred grand and only because you're
00:00:15my brother. I took it with a smile. Then I turned around and leased that run-down filthy restaurant
00:00:23right across from his. I started my own place. The second, my restaurant overtook Iron Anchor.
00:00:30Percy snapped. He smashed his own car hood. He just couldn't wrap his head around it.
00:00:35How did his useless younger brother's restaurant become the most popular place in town?
00:00:41Percy, 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.
00:00:58I took it and counted. Only a hundred thousand. Not even a fraction of the restaurant's profit.
00:01:03I put up the money for this restaurant. I did all the live streams and marketing.
00:01:08You're just a line cook. Any bum off the street could do your job. If you weren't my brother,
00:01:13you wouldn't see a dime of this.
00:01:16For a whole year, I worked non-stop, running around, picking out the best suppliers.
00:01:21Okay, I want to tell you about my restaurant. Just give me three minutes and I'll tell you
00:01:26about my restaurant. Thank you for providing such high quality ingredients. You really helped
00:01:33us solve a big problem. I went back and forth between thousands of restaurants, studying what
00:01:40customers really want. Sir, you've been creeping on our customers for five hours. Move along
00:01:44or I'm calling the cops. Sorry, sorry. I'm leaving right now. And Percy, he just gets a fancy hairstyle
00:01:52and camps out in front of his live stream. Five people, always the same five, making a fool of
00:01:58himself over and over again. I put in at least half the work for that six million and that hundred
00:02:03thousand Percy gave me. Ninety thousand of it was just him paying me back for the purchasing money.
00:02:08I'd already fronted all year, but I still took the money. Thanks. I turned, pushed the door open,
00:02:14and then Percy called out to me. Wait. The citywide benchmark judging is in three days. The mayor is
00:02:19coming to Iron Anchor to try the fatty tuna sushi. Your sashimi is the most popular with customers.
00:02:24So make sure you have a blue fit tuna ready and cut the belly part well.
00:02:29Okay. See you in three days. Good boy. I didn't say a word. Percy never thought I'd be that easy
00:02:37to
00:02:37brush off. And me. I stood in front of that failed restaurant right across the street. The one that
00:02:50couldn't keep up with Iron Anchor and went belly up. Everyone knew it was filthy, broken, a total mess.
00:02:55Percy thought it was a dump. A place only bums would set foot in.
00:03:02Hello. I'd like to rent this restaurant for ten years. Takes goods to rent this spot, kid. Nobody survives
00:03:07across from Iron Anchor. You absolutely sure? I'm sure. I walked out after signing the papers.
00:03:13And across the street, Iron Anchor was already partying, getting hyped for the mayor's big arrival.
00:03:18What Percy didn't realize, that a ward in three days. It was about to turn into his worst nightmare.
00:03:26This rundown shop was hidden away. Filthy. Pitch. Dark. Thick layers of grease covered everything.
00:03:33I didn't complain. Though, inside, I was actually pumped.
00:03:39Percy quickly realized someone had rented that dump across the street again.
00:03:43He got out of his fancy car, saw it was me, and just lost it, laughing so hard he could
00:03:48barely stand.
00:03:53Grayson, you absolute idiot. I gave you $100,000, and you blow it on this rat hole? Don't you have
00:04:00any idea how good a life $100,000 could have bought you?
00:04:03I ignored him. Percy started wandering around the restaurant on his own, even pulled out his phone, and went live,
00:04:09making exaggerated faces at the camera.
00:04:11Look at this, folks! Thick, nasty grease all over the tables! This place is so disgusting, I swear even a
00:04:18rat wouldn't come near it!
00:04:20Then he put his arm around my shoulder and struck a friendly pose for the camera.
00:04:24Grayson, I'm your older brother. I have to take care of you. You're always welcome back at Iron Anchor.
00:04:31I 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. He had to get ready for the mayor's visit.
00:04:43He had his workers turn the place into a luxurious palace.
00:04:46But one thing he would never understand, a restaurant's true essence is the food.
00:04:51And me, I stayed up late every night, cleaning the restaurant.
00:04:57It was already three in the morning when I got home. The light was still on.
00:05:01I caught my reflection in the mirror by the door, covered in dirt. My face exhausted. I panicked.
00:05:06I didn't want my family to worry, but I knew I had to face it eventually.
00:05:13My wife Mia looked at me with concern.
00:05:16Honey, what happened? Why are you so late?
00:05:19Percy asked me to clean the kitchen. I didn't have time to wash up.
00:05:25Mia looked uneasy. She took my hand and pulled me down onto the sofa.
00:05:30I saw the news. The mayor is going to personally review Iron Anchor.
00:05:35The restaurant you and Percy opened is really making money. Big enough to even get the mayor's attention.
00:05:42Did he give you any of it?
00:05:44Sure. He gave me a hundred grand.
00:05:46Only a hundred grand? The news said the place cleared six million.
00:05:51That's not fair. You 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.
00:06:20Here's twenty grand.
00:06:22Go all in, Grayson.
00:06:23The baby and I will be just fine.
00:06:27I won't let you down.
00:06:29I swear.
00:06:30The industry benchmark restaurant awards were in two days.
00:06:34That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:06:36What if I let Nia down?
00:06:38The 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.
00:06:51I picked up the little notebook I've been keeping for years and sat down at the desk.
00:06:55It 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.
00:07:04What he left on his plate.
00:07:06This notebook gives me the confidence that comes from experience.
00:07:10Then suddenly, my phone rang.
00:07:14What did you say?
00:07:15Sea Mist Restaurant passed the qualification inspection?
00:07:20This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.
00:07:25With the license in hand, I'm halfway there.
00:07:27I reached out to the supplier I'd worked so hard to win over before.
00:07:30He'd always seen my potential.
00:07:31And the moment he heard I was opening my own place,
00:07:33he cut ties with Percy on the spot and said yes.
00:07:35You should have gone out on your own a long time ago.
00:07:38I can tell you've got way more ability than that brother of yours.
00:07:41All he knows is flashy tricks.
00:07:45I'd just sent the supplier off when Percy came back from a night of drinking.
00:07:48If 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 live stream
00:08:01that never gets more than five people.
00:08:03He didn't recognize him at all.
00:08:05Don't say I never give you a chance.
00:08:08The mayor's coming to Iron Anchor in person tomorrow.
00:08:12My dear little brother,
00:08:13I'm your only shot at rubbing elbows with big shots like that.
00:08:17And make sure you bring your wife Mia.
00:08:20I swear, she's never seen anything this grand in her life.
00:08:25Percy's laugh was full of contempt.
00:08:27He 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,
00:08:33his little brother,
00:08:34the one foolish enough to open a restaurant right across from Iron Anchor,
00:08:38would be the perfect person to compare himself to.
00:08:40I'll be there on time.
00:08:43Here's ten bucks.
00:08:46Go park my car for me.
00:08:51Everyone believed Iron Anchor would definitely become the industry bencher.
00:08:55Percy was so sure of it,
00:08:56that he boasted and signed a whole year's worth of orders for the future.
00:09:00But he overlooked me.
00:09:01A brother he'd never once seen as a competitor.
00:09:04Insignificant.
00:09:05Obedient.
00:09:06Beneath noted.
00:09:07When I got home,
00:09:09I told Mia that I was going to Percy's restaurant for the awards event.
00:09:12I could see the worry in her eyes.
00:09:15No, Grayson, you don't have to go to that awards event tomorrow.
00:09:19Can't you see?
00:09:20He stole the fruits of your hard work,
00:09:22and now he wants to humiliate you in public.
00:09:24Mia, I've already decided to go.
00:09:28If he tries to embarrass me,
00:09:29I'll forget we're brothers and I'll take his place for good.
00:09:35A place that was always meant to be mine.
00:09:38Fine.
00:09:40I'll go with you.
00:09:45Percy hadn't seated the guests yet.
00:09:47He was waiting by the door for something.
00:09:49The moment he saw Mia and me show up,
00:09:51his eyes locked onto us like a radar.
00:09:54Look, there's my little brother.
00:09:59Let me introduce you all.
00:10:00This is my brother Grayson.
00:10:02He just took over a garbage dump across the street from Iron Anchor
00:10:05and thinks he's going to compete with me.
00:10:07Percy said it like a joke.
00:10:09All the guests looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
00:10:12Even Mia's smile froze on her face.
00:10:17You know what Percy nets a year?
00:10:20Six million dollars.
00:10:21You won't see that kind of money in ten lifetimes.
00:10:24You really should just stick with your brother.
00:10:27That way you can at least lap up some of the leftovers.
00:10:31Don't mind them Grayson.
00:10:32What they said was harsh, but it's the truth.
00:10:38That's enough.
00:10:39You're all way out of line.
00:10:41The truth is, he's better than every one of you.
00:10:45Grayson, control your wife.
00:10:47This isn't the place for a scene.
00:10:49Easy Mia, I'm fine.
00:10:59Here's my card.
00:11:00You're all welcome to come check out my new restaurant across the street.
00:11:03Percy looked at me in disbelief.
00:11:05He never expected that after being humiliated like that.
00:11:08Grayson, what are you doing here?
00:11:08I'd still be able to hand out my business card.
00:11:11Everyone looked embarrassed.
00:11:12No one took it.
00:11:15Grayson, are you seriously expecting these suppliers to visit your dump?
00:11:18Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:20I smiled and shook my head.
00:11:22I swear.
00:11:24One day they'll be begging to work with me.
00:11:31These are all Iron Anchor's signature dishes.
00:11:34Everyone, help yourselves.
00:11:38I could see right through it.
00:11:40The dishes looked exactly the same as before, but the ingredients had changed.
00:11:45Percy always cuts corners with cheap ingredients to save money, but he doesn't understand his
00:11:49customers.
00:11:50Every single one of them has a picky palate.
00:11:52Without my notebook that records every customer's preferences, he can never make the perfect dish.
00:11:59At the table, the guests could already tell something was off with the food, but because
00:12:03they were so eager to flatter Percy, they chose to ignore it.
00:12:06The mayor's personal inspection is the highest honor in the industry.
00:12:10Percy kept bragging about how successful his restaurant had become in just one year.
00:12:15How much money he'd made.
00:12:16Mia was so upset, she couldn't even eat.
00:12:19The anger in her eyes could have skinned Percy alive.
00:12:21But that wasn't enough for Percy.
00:12:23He brought me up again.
00:12:25Grayson, once Iron Anchor takes over the world, you can still come back.
00:12:31I mean, you don't have much skill, just good for a few simple little jobs.
00:12:35But, you are my little brother after all.
00:12:38Percy, you're such a good man.
00:12:40Your brother has a death wish opening a restaurant right across from you, and you're still looking
00:12:45out for him.
00:12:47Of course.
00:12:48What does a line cook know about running a restaurant?
00:12:52Without Percy, he's nothing.
00:12:56I was furious.
00:12:58All anyone could see was Percy's winning glow.
00:13:00No one saw the one who'd done all the work behind the scenes.
00:13:03Percy was soaking up the praise.
00:13:05Laughing and clinking glasses with those guests.
00:13:08And that was the moment he completely cut off the last bit of mercy I had left for him.
00:13:12The industry benchmark awarded by the mayor.
00:13:14Can only be my sea mist restaurant.
00:13:16I raised my glass.
00:13:17A calm smile on my face.
00:13:19You're alright.
00:13:20Everything I do I learn from Percy, my respected big brother.
00:13:26The mayor was arriving any minute.
00:13:28Percy told me to go to the kitchen and get ready to cut the bluefin tuna.
00:13:32Grayson, get your ass to the kitchen and help out.
00:13:35Even though you had the nerve to leave me, I still invited you to this important event.
00:13:40And the only reason is because you're my brother.
00:13:43Percy finished talking and went off to greet the mayor.
00:13:51I looked at the mayor.
00:13:52I knew my chance had come.
00:13:57A year ago, I went through hell to land the supplier with the highest food safety rating.
00:14:03Percy never understood how important fresh ingredients are to a restaurant.
00:14:08And now that top tier supplier belongs to me.
00:14:11The one who took over supplying Iron Anchor?
00:14:14Obviously, just some crooked merchant faking it.
00:14:21This tuna smells really weird.
00:14:24I tried to warn them about quality control, but Percy never listened to a word I said.
00:14:32Grayson, step aside.
00:14:35The new guy here can actually handle a knife.
00:14:42Grayson, you just stand aside and watch.
00:14:44Even for a line cook, you've still got a lot to learn.
00:14:47Percy didn't care about my skills.
00:14:50He asked me to come to the kitchen only to humiliate me with the new hire, to prove I was
00:14:56good for nothing.
00:14:58But he had no idea how complicated Blue Fit Tuna is.
00:15:02Without real knife skills, you can't handle it properly.
00:15:06Especially a piece of cheap, low-quality tuna like this.
00:15:11Percy, you're going to regret everything you've done today.
00:15:14I swear it.
00:15:15I'm just trying to make my little brother better.
00:15:18Otherwise, how is he going to support you and the baby in your belly?
00:15:21With that failing restaurant across the street?
00:15:27I'll learn from him.
00:15:29After today, one of us will be famous and the other will be a nobody.
00:15:36Grayson, I really feel sorry for you.
00:15:40That is right.
00:15:42After today, one of us is going to take over the world.
00:15:45And the other is going to fade into obscurity.
00:15:48I watched very carefully.
00:15:50Joss thought I was actually learning.
00:15:51And he even took the time to explain things to me.
00:15:54I smiled.
00:15:55With such lousy technique, that Blue Fied Tuna was going to end up as nothing but a pile of ruined
00:16:00meat in his hands.
00:16:01And the mayor.
00:16:03He hates nothing more than being handed low-quality.
00:16:05You call this a steak?
00:16:07Butchered tuna.
00:16:08Like it is no big deal.
00:16:13Percy was in the dining room, chatting up the mayor like he was king of the world.
00:16:17He had no idea his restaurant was heading straight to hell.
00:16:21Joss walked up, carrying a covered platter.
00:16:24Meanwhile, the highest quality Blue Fied Tuna was being delivered to Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:16:30where the expensive head chef I hired was handling the premium tuna,
00:16:33according to the methods written in my notebook.
00:16:36My dear fans, it's showtime.
00:16:38The mayor is here.
00:16:39Today I'll show the world true top-tier cooking.
00:16:42Some bottom-fleeling trash running a cheap diner couldn't even dream of reaching this level.
00:16:51Mr. Mayor, and everyone watching in the live stream, let me introduce you to my good-for-nothing little brother,
00:16:57Grayson.
00:16:57Never been smart.
00:16:59Only good for the dirty work in the back.
00:17:01He recently opened some dump called Sea Mist right over there.
00:17:05If you ever feel like your stomach's too full and you need to throw up, feel free to go try
00:17:10his chemical waste.
00:17:14Percy, you're too soft.
00:17:16Having that guy across the street is polluting our whole neighborhood.
00:17:20Mr. Mayor, here's my card.
00:17:22I'm good at making otoyu sushi.
00:17:24Are you crazy?
00:17:26A little place that can't even fit two people in the bathroom and you think you can hand the mayor
00:17:30your business card?
00:17:31My restaurant is spotless and my ingredients are the best.
00:17:36I don't think square footage determines quality.
00:17:39Grayson, stop embarrassing yourself here.
00:17:45Young man, you have something those greedy businessmen don't.
00:17:49You're calm.
00:17:50I like that.
00:17:52The mayor sure has a sense of humor.
00:17:55He's just teaching the young generation to stay humble.
00:17:59Grayson, the only reason the mayor hasn't kicked you out is out of respect for me.
00:18:04Grayson, stop any of your pathetic delusions.
00:18:14Please take a seat.
00:18:26Mr. Mayor, this is our signature dish, otoro sushi.
00:18:30I promise you'll love it.
00:18:34Iron Anchor's otoro sushi is one of a kind, Mr. Mayor.
00:18:37I guarantee you'll fall for it.
00:18:39The knife work, the technique, absolutely flawless.
00:18:43In the past, the otori sushi really was one of a kind.
00:18:48But this time, without top quality ingredients and skilled knife work,
00:18:52the only thing coming out of that kitchen is a one of a kind piece of garbage.
00:19:19Oh my god, what the hell is that garbage?
00:19:23At that same moment, the otoro sushi I prepared was being carefully packed up
00:19:27and was already on its way.
00:19:30We are about to serve the very first dish from Seamist Restaurant.
00:19:36Everyone, stay sharp.
00:19:38Yes!
00:19:52Percy's prized otoro sushi was unveiled.
00:19:55Before anyone could admire it, a wave of rotten stench hit the room.
00:19:58His smile vanished.
00:19:59Guests gagged.
00:20:00The mayor slammed his fork down on the table in fury.
00:20:02Percy!
00:20:03This is the signature dish you've been bragging about?
00:20:05Open your damn eyes!
00:20:06Is this meant for humans?
00:20:07I held Mia close and watched.
00:20:09Cold.
00:20:10Percy's face went pale.
00:20:11Cold sweat dripped from his temples down into his collar.
00:20:14But he wasn't done.
00:20:15He fell back on his pathetic sales pitch, desperate to cover up the rot.
00:20:19No, Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:20:21This is an oxidation reaction, an advanced aging process for premium tuna.
00:20:25Advanced aging?
00:20:26No, he just served the mayor cheap.
00:20:28Old meat to cut costs.
00:20:30The live stream was going wild.
00:20:32The whole city was watching him feed garbage to the mayor.
00:20:35Fine.
00:20:36You're so confident in this process?
00:20:38Then don't waste it.
00:20:39Bring it to him.
00:20:40Eat it, Percy.
00:20:41Every last piece.
00:20:42Right now.
00:20:43No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:44You're resisting so hard.
00:20:45Is it because you think it's a piece of rotten meat, too?
00:20:48No!
00:20:48Mr. Mayor, I'll prove to you there's nothing wrong with it.
00:20:50The security guard stepped forward.
00:20:52The cold, intimidating pressure left Percy with no way out.
00:20:56Under the gaze of the citywide live stream, he was forced to swallow that rotten meat like a pathetic stray
00:21:02dog.
00:21:03He skimped on ingredient costs and threw the money away.
00:21:06Now he had to chew up the consequences himself.
00:21:09The mayor's fury was just the beginning.
00:21:11The real ruin of the Iron Anchor was just getting started.
00:21:19This is the pride of Surla Street, the face of our state's restaurant industry?
00:21:24Percy, you didn't just insult me.
00:21:26You insult the entire food safety laws of this city.
00:21:29Mr. Mayor, I swear on my life.
00:21:30The sushi is fine.
00:21:31I just drank too much last night.
00:21:33It's my stomach.
00:21:34It's upset.
00:21:34Percy's excuse sounded pathetic and hollow in front of the mayor and 500 live stream viewers.
00:21:39No one knew better than me.
00:21:40Eating rotten bluefin tuna would cause mackerel poisoning.
00:21:42Soon, Percy showed all the signs.
00:21:45The client who had signed next year's contract with him actually wanted to go help him.
00:21:51Damn it!
00:21:51You used rotten meat!
00:21:53That's why you're such a mess right now!
00:21:54Percy, you idiot!
00:21:55You just blew the entire war!
00:21:56No, no, no!
00:21:57It's not what you think!
00:21:58And just like that, Percy's noble image was gone, shattered in front of the live stream in the entire city.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:05I want a full investigation of Iron Anchor right now!
00:22:08Percy wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move.
00:22:10Soon enough, the iron door to Iron Anchor's back storage was violently pushed open.
00:22:15A stench of formaldehyde mixed with rotting blood hit everyone in the face.
00:22:19Cardboard boxes piled up like metals, their outer layers covered in mold.
00:22:23The smell is absolutely disgusting!
00:22:25Just thinking about the food I ate makes me want to strangle Percy with my bare hand!
00:22:28Percy was dragged to the storage door like a filthy rag.
00:22:31The mayor pointed angrily at the inside of the back room.
00:22:34This is the best ingredient warehouse in all of New York?
00:22:36Percy, you better explain this now!
00:22:40Percy scrambled, saying it was all the supplier's fault that he was a victim too.
00:22:44Tears streamed down his face as he got all emotional.
00:22:46At first, some people actually believed him.
00:22:48After all, Iron Anchor's reputation had been perfect.
00:22:50That was until a contract signed with the shady supplier was pulled out of a drawer.
00:22:54A hundred dollars a play and you spent three cents on the meat?
00:22:57Vanity.
00:22:57That's what it was.
00:22:58The money went to the cars.
00:22:59The fancy front.
00:23:00But the food itself.
00:23:02He had zero respect for it.
00:23:03Mr. Mayor, let me explain.
00:23:05I was just trying to save money.
00:23:06I didn't know the supplier would give me bad meat.
00:23:08I'd give me bad meat.
00:23:09You didn't know?
00:23:10You're playing games with people's lives!
00:23:14Percy looked around in despair.
00:23:15Nothing but contempt.
00:23:17And the mayor's fury was even more terrifying than he'd imagined.
00:23:20If this is the best Surla Street has to offer,
00:23:21then I will shut down every single restaurant on this entire street.
00:23:24The whole place erupted.
00:23:25Every business owner's face dropped.
00:23:27If the whole street got shut down,
00:23:28they would lose countless future business deals.
00:23:30Percy, you animal!
00:23:31You want to serve trash?
00:23:32Fine!
00:23:33But don't drag the rest of us down with you!
00:23:35You disgusting little roach!
00:23:36Go to hell!
00:23:37That is human nature.
00:23:38When Percy was on top,
00:23:39they were his loyal supporters.
00:23:40The moment he fell,
00:23:41everyone wanted to kick him.
00:23:42While he was down,
00:23:43Mia looked worried.
00:23:44She was afraid my restaurant would get caught up in this too.
00:23:46I patted her hand.
00:23:47I'd just gotten my license.
00:23:48I was fully confident I could turn the tide on Surla Street.
00:23:50And if I timed it right,
00:23:51my chef should be here any second.
00:23:57Percy panicked.
00:23:58Iron 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.
00:24:04Grayson!
00:24:05What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:24:07Mr. Mayor,
00:24:08before you give up on this street,
00:24:10please give real Surla Street Cuisine one chance.
00:24:12Percy pulled himself up off the floor
00:24:14and stormed over to me,
00:24:15furious.
00:24:16That garbage from your $500 dump
00:24:18has no place in front of the mayor!
00:24:20I'm warning you.
00:24:22Throw that trash away!
00:24:23Mia was never one to just take it lying down.
00:24:25The second she heard that,
00:24:26she hauled off and slapped Percy
00:24:27right across the face.
00:24:28Wipe that disgusting superior look off your face,
00:24:31you arrogant jerk!
00:24:32Three minutes ago,
00:24:33you were serving the mayor garbage.
00:24:35Whatever my husband has in that box
00:24:36is worth more than you
00:24:37and your whole restaurant ever were!
00:24:39You dare put your hands on me?
00:24:41You shameless bitch!
00:24:42The mayor beat me to it.
00:24:44He had his security restrained Percy,
00:24:46then looked at the takeout box in my hand.
00:24:48I think I'd like to try something made
00:24:50by a man with some composure.
00:24:52See, Mr. Restaurant.
00:24:54Please enjoy.
00:25:09I've never seen sashimi with such perfect texture.
00:25:12It's as thin as a leaf!
00:25:13The aroma's so rich!
00:25:15My mouth is watering!
00:25:16The livestream went wild, too.
00:25:18The comments were full of curiosity
00:25:19about my food.
00:25:20Because of this turnaround,
00:25:22the viewer count instantly skyrocketed
00:25:24by 10,000.
00:25:26Tuna of this grade,
00:25:27my supplier swore I was his only client in Manhattan.
00:25:29Your so-called supply chain is just a transaction.
00:25:31What Grayson earned is the supplier's respect.
00:25:33He deserves to have the best ingredients,
00:25:35way more than your iron anchor ever did!
00:25:37I watched the mayor's fingertips tremble.
00:25:39That is the instinctive reaction
00:25:41of a true gourmet
00:25:42in the presence of something
00:25:43transcendent.
00:25:45Percy always thought
00:25:45waving his checkbook around on livestream
00:25:47would let him control everything.
00:25:49But he never knew.
00:25:51Some ingredients can't be bought.
00:25:52They choose who deserves them.
00:25:55My God.
00:25:56The sweetness,
00:25:58the way this fat just
00:25:59dissolves,
00:26:00it's melting on your tongue.
00:26:01Grayson, I take back what I said earlier.
00:26:03This isn't just food.
00:26:04This is art.
00:26:05This year's industry benchmark restaurant
00:26:08is not this
00:26:09foul-smelling iron anchor.
00:26:11It goes to...
00:26:17Wait!
00:26:18CMIS shouldn't even be in the running.
00:26:20Everyone knows that place is a dump
00:26:22full of grease and rats.
00:26:24It doesn't even meet
00:26:24basic health and safety standards.
00:26:26Percy looked at me
00:26:27with that smug expression
00:26:28like he'd finally cornered the clown.
00:26:30Too bad.
00:26:31This time,
00:26:32the joke was on him.
00:26:33Save the pity, Grayson.
00:26:34I know you tried really hard
00:26:36to steal first place from me.
00:26:37Too bad.
00:26:39Trying isn't enough.
00:26:40You'll never surpass me,
00:26:41little brother.
00:26:42Mr. Mayor,
00:26:44it would be my honor
00:26:45to lead the way
00:26:46and show everyone
00:26:47this garbage-dimp Grayson
00:26:49calls a restaurant.
00:26:51That place has been closed for ages.
00:26:53I heard the last owner
00:26:54was so bitter.
00:26:55He poured cooking oil
00:26:56all over the floors
00:26:57on his way out.
00:26:57You can't even walk in there.
00:26:58That's right.
00:26:59And he left all kinds
00:27:00of expired food in there, too.
00:27:02It's probably a full-blown
00:27:03rat kingdom by now.
00:27:04What right does a dump
00:27:05like that have
00:27:05to call itself a restaurant?
00:27:06What do we do?
00:27:09Mr. Mayor
00:27:10and everyone here,
00:27:11as the owner
00:27:12of Seamist Restaurant,
00:27:13I invite you all
00:27:14to come see it
00:27:15for yourselves.
00:27:16You idiot.
00:27:17Get ready to watch
00:27:18your precious restaurant
00:27:19get shut down.
00:27:20My dear fans,
00:27:22I'm about to show you
00:27:23the most chaotic,
00:27:25filthiest garbage dump
00:27:27on Surla Street.
00:27:28You cannot imagine
00:27:29how absolutely disgusting
00:27:32that place is.
00:27:35Percy,
00:27:36lying has consequences.
00:27:37It's totally fake.
00:27:39I guarantee you
00:27:39behind this door,
00:27:40it's nothing but trash
00:27:41and stink.
00:27:42Bracing.
00:27:43Just wait and see.
00:27:44Percy's smug smile
00:27:45kept growing,
00:27:46but all of that
00:27:46was about to come
00:27:47to a screeching halt
00:27:48the second I opened that door.
00:27:55This is impossible.
00:27:56Oh my God!
00:27:57In just a few days,
00:27:59that dump
00:28:00has completely changed.
00:28:01It's so clean and tidy.
00:28:03Way more pleasant
00:28:04to look at
00:28:05than Iron Anchor's
00:28:06tacky, flashy decorations.
00:28:12Grayson,
00:28:13your taste is just
00:28:14as impressive
00:28:15as your food.
00:28:22Man,
00:28:23this place is cleaner
00:28:24than an operating room.
00:28:25I worked around the clock,
00:28:26kneeling on that filthy floor,
00:28:28scrubbing every single crack
00:28:29with a brush.
00:28:30Percy spent his money
00:28:31on those gauvy chandeliers
00:28:32that blind you.
00:28:33I spent mine
00:28:34on every little detail
00:28:35you can touch.
00:28:35This is all just for show!
00:28:37You can fake the decor,
00:28:39but you can't fake
00:28:40the ingredients!
00:28:42Grayson,
00:28:43you're broke!
00:28:44Your monthly rent
00:28:45is 500 bucks.
00:28:46How can you afford
00:28:47top-grade bluefit tuna?
00:28:49I bet that piece
00:28:50he just fed you
00:28:51was the only decent
00:28:51one he's got.
00:28:52His freezer must be packed
00:28:54with cheap frozen garbage.
00:28:56Trash will always be trash!
00:28:59You want to see?
00:29:00I'll show you.
00:29:06So many.
00:29:08Tuna of this quality,
00:29:09only three restaurants
00:29:10in all of New York
00:29:11can get their hands on these.
00:29:15Percy,
00:29:16take a good look.
00:29:17This is what you call garbage.
00:29:19No!
00:29:19You must have injected poison
00:29:21into these rotten fish,
00:29:22sprayed them with chemicals!
00:29:23Who the hell
00:29:24is insulting my fish?
00:29:29You are...
00:29:30I worked with Iron Anchor
00:29:31for a whole year.
00:29:33Not once did you bother
00:29:34to remember my name.
00:29:35Percy,
00:29:35you're an absolute idiot.
00:29:39You're Iron Anchor's
00:29:40biggest supplier
00:29:41from this past year.
00:29:42You traitor!
00:29:43You're the traitor!
00:29:44And premium ingredients
00:29:45should go to people
00:29:46who actually appreciate them!
00:29:49Mr. Mayor,
00:29:50I'm the largest
00:29:50seafood distributor
00:29:51in California.
00:29:52I hereby certify
00:29:54that all ingredients
00:29:55used by Sea Mist Restaurant
00:29:56are exclusively supplied
00:29:57through my special channel
00:29:58with the highest
00:29:59A-level safety rating.
00:30:01Mr. Grayson
00:30:02is the most knowledgeable person
00:30:04about ingredients
00:30:04I've ever met.
00:30:05That's why I ended
00:30:06all my contracts
00:30:07with Iron Anchor
00:30:08for him.
00:30:09Are you insane?
00:30:10I give you millions
00:30:12of dollars a year!
00:30:13What about him?
00:30:14All he got was
00:30:14the lousy hundred grand
00:30:15I threw at him!
00:30:16After lashing out
00:30:17at the supplier,
00:30:18Percy turned his rage
00:30:20back on me.
00:30:20Grayson!
00:30:21You ungrateful snake!
00:30:23You took the hundred grand
00:30:25I gave you
00:30:25and used it to steal
00:30:27my supplier
00:30:27and become my enemy?
00:30:28Don't you have
00:30:29any family loyalty
00:30:30at all?
00:30:31Percy.
00:30:34Percy,
00:30:35out of that hundred grand,
00:30:36ninety thousand
00:30:37was purchasing money
00:30:38I fronted for you.
00:30:41The remaining ten thousand
00:30:43was what you paid me
00:30:45for three years
00:30:46of working my ass off
00:30:47day and night.
00:30:48You thought you could
00:30:49buy my dignity.
00:30:50I'm taking it back
00:30:51with my own hands.
00:30:53We're even.
00:30:54And don't forget,
00:30:55this supplier was mine
00:30:56from the very beginning.
00:30:57Percy's eyes
00:30:58went unfocused.
00:30:59It looked like
00:31:00he was finally remembering
00:31:01how hard I worked
00:31:02a year ago,
00:31:03visiting supplier
00:31:04after supplier,
00:31:05screening through
00:31:05thousands of them
00:31:06to find this one.
00:31:07Percy wanted to keep
00:31:08arguing,
00:31:09but fate wasn't
00:31:10going to give him
00:31:11any more chances.
00:31:12Mr. Mayor,
00:31:13it's not just
00:31:14the ingredients.
00:31:15The entire interior
00:31:15of Iron Anchor
00:31:16is built with
00:31:16the cheapest,
00:31:17most flammable
00:31:18formalhyde-laden boards
00:31:18just painted over
00:31:19with a layer of gold.
00:31:20Iron Anchor
00:31:20is basically
00:31:21a poison gas chamber
00:31:22that would explode
00:31:22the second it touches fire.
00:31:27That's disgusting.
00:31:28All for show.
00:31:30Percy,
00:31:30get out of
00:31:31the restaurant industry.
00:31:33Mr. Mayor,
00:31:34I was wrong.
00:31:36I just wanted
00:31:36the restaurant to look better.
00:31:37You risked people's lives
00:31:40just to look good?
00:31:41Percy's tears
00:31:42rolled down
00:31:42his fake,
00:31:43lying face.
00:31:44He used to throw money
00:31:45in front of me
00:31:46and call me a country bumpin'
00:31:47who'd never seen the world.
00:31:49And now,
00:31:50that live-streaming empire
00:31:51he'd so carefully built
00:31:52was collapsing
00:31:53inch by inch
00:31:54in front of a global audience.
00:31:56I hereby declare
00:31:57Sea Mist Restaurant
00:31:59the industry
00:32:00benchmark restaurant
00:32:02for this year.
00:32:03Effective immediately,
00:32:05Iron Anchor's
00:32:06business license
00:32:06is permanently revoked.
00:32:09All assets
00:32:10are to be seized.
00:32:11Percy is under
00:32:12official investigation
00:32:13for food safety crimes
00:32:15and commercial fraud.
00:32:17Now,
00:32:18throw this cock-roat
00:32:19out of here.
00:32:27Grayson!
00:32:29Save me!
00:32:30You're my own little brother.
00:32:31Your restaurant
00:32:32is right across the street.
00:32:33You can fix this.
00:32:34You have to.
00:32:35I gave him a year.
00:32:36A whole year.
00:32:37But all he ever learned
00:32:39was how to put on a show
00:32:40for his live screen.
00:32:41Grayson!
00:32:43Grayson,
00:32:44I'm begging you.
00:32:44You're tight with the mayor.
00:32:45Please put in a good word for me.
00:32:47You can't let them
00:32:47close my place.
00:32:48That's everything I've got.
00:32:49Everything you've got, Percy?
00:32:51You call rotten meat
00:32:53and fake gold paint
00:32:53everything you've got?
00:32:54Just don't shut me down.
00:32:55I'll do anything you want.
00:32:57I'll give you all the shares.
00:32:58You come back
00:32:59and be the boss.
00:33:00I'll work for you.
00:33:01I'll be your line cook.
00:33:02Percy,
00:33:03do you remember
00:33:03how you humiliated Grayson?
00:33:05You said he was only
00:33:06worth 2,000 bucks.
00:33:07You said a homeless guy
00:33:08off the street
00:33:08could replace him.
00:33:09A year ago,
00:33:10I begged him
00:33:11in the pouring rain
00:33:12just like this
00:33:13to pay the supplier
00:33:15what he owed.
00:33:15He rolled down
00:33:16his car window,
00:33:17blew smoke in my face.
00:33:19And told me
00:33:20I didn't understand business.
00:33:21Percy,
00:33:22your biggest mistake
00:33:23wasn't greed.
00:33:24It was that you never
00:33:25learned to respect food.
00:33:26Someone who can make
00:33:27the finest fish
00:33:28smell like death
00:33:29has no place in a kitchen.
00:33:31You're really gonna
00:33:32just let me die?
00:33:33For old time's sake,
00:33:34since you want to be
00:33:35a line cook so bad,
00:33:37Sea Mist just happens
00:33:38to be looking for someone
00:33:39to clean the bathrooms.
00:33:402,000 a month.
00:33:41And the only reason
00:33:42I'm even offering it to you
00:33:43is out of respect
00:33:44for you being my big brother.
00:33:49Mr. Grayson,
00:33:50I'm officially transferring
00:33:51my $5 million
00:33:51annual banquet booking
00:33:52to Sea Mist Restaurant.
00:33:53Name your price.
00:33:54Just make sure that
00:33:55Oto Sushi shows up
00:33:56at my event.
00:33:57Grayson,
00:33:57this is a long-term
00:33:58letter of intent
00:33:58from the Manhattan
00:33:59Restaurant Association.
00:34:00We're willing to pay
00:34:01a 50% premium
00:34:02as long as Sea Mist
00:34:03agrees to be our partner.
00:34:04Three hours ago,
00:34:05these same people
00:34:05watched Percy humiliate me
00:34:06in front of everyone.
00:34:07They laughed at me,
00:34:08a lowly line cook
00:34:09who didn't know his place.
00:34:10Now they're willing
00:34:10to pay double
00:34:11just to beg me
00:34:12for a partnership.
00:34:13Sea Mist will only sign
00:34:14with one partner
00:34:15in the next year.
00:34:16That spot,
00:34:17you'll have to fight
00:34:18for it yourselves.
00:34:19I have the strongest capital.
00:34:21That spot belongs to me.
00:34:22What can you offer
00:34:23besides money?
00:34:24I can provide the biggest
00:34:25advertising and sales channels.
00:34:26Get lost.
00:34:27This opportunity is mine.
00:34:32With the mayor's endorsement
00:34:34and the title
00:34:35of industry benchmark restaurant,
00:34:37Sea Mist was splattered
00:34:38all over countless posters.
00:34:40customers poured into
00:34:41Sea Mist nonstop.
00:34:43Mia and I opened
00:34:44three more locations together.
00:34:46I never held back.
00:34:47I shared everything I knew.
00:34:49Sea Mist will always stand
00:34:51for healthy,
00:34:52delicious food.
00:34:59All those prepayments
00:35:01that should have gone
00:35:01into Iron Anchor's account,
00:35:03they were now flooding
00:35:04into mine instead.
00:35:06Oh my God,
00:35:07I can't believe my eyes.
00:35:09Grayson,
00:35:10in less than half an hour,
00:35:11the prepayments
00:35:12have already topped
00:35:12three million.
00:35:13We made it!
00:35:15Grayson,
00:35:15you deserve this.
00:35:17The restaurant industry
00:35:18doesn't need some performer
00:35:19who only knows how to lie.
00:35:21It needs craftsmen like you.
00:35:23People with soul
00:35:24when it comes to food.
00:35:26This is the contract
00:35:27for government catering
00:35:28for the next year.
00:35:34Pleasure doing business with you.
00:35:36At that moment,
00:35:37Percy,
00:35:38his face caked with mud,
00:35:40pressed himself
00:35:41against the window
00:35:41like a ghost,
00:35:42watching me sign contract
00:35:44after contract,
00:35:45signing away millions
00:35:46of dollars.
00:35:47Furious,
00:35:48he tried to get in,
00:35:49but the security guard
00:35:50at the door
00:35:51shoved him back,
00:35:52sending him tumbling
00:35:53down the steps.
00:35:54Get out of my way!
00:35:55That bastard Grayson
00:35:56took everything from me!
00:35:58This was supposed to be mine!
00:35:59Move along!
00:36:00This is no place
00:36:01for a homeless guy!
00:36:02He was out there watching.
00:36:05I was in here sitting.
00:36:07That single pane of glass
00:36:09was the line
00:36:09between heaven and hell.
00:36:11He used to say
00:36:12that without him,
00:36:13I'd be begging for food
00:36:14in Chinatown.
00:36:15Now,
00:36:16he can't even get past
00:36:17the door of my restaurant.
00:36:19Grayson!
00:36:20You traitor!
00:36:25Percy was curled up
00:36:27next to a stinking dumpster.
00:36:29His thousand dollar tuxedo
00:36:31was caked with grime.
00:36:32He was too afraid
00:36:33to go home,
00:36:34because all the partners
00:36:36he'd arrogantly signed
00:36:37with before
00:36:37were now turning on him
00:36:39after Iron Anchor
00:36:39got shut down.
00:36:41What awaited him
00:36:42was massive penalty fees
00:36:43and the fury
00:36:44of every single one
00:36:45of those partners.
00:36:51Hello?
00:36:53Boss,
00:36:53just give me
00:36:54a little more time.
00:36:55Time?
00:36:55Percy,
00:36:56your old frozen meat
00:36:57got my license revoked.
00:36:59According to the contract,
00:37:00you owe me triple the penalty.
00:37:02That's two million dollars.
00:37:03If I don't see that money
00:37:04by tomorrow morning,
00:37:05you can go feed the fish
00:37:06in the Hudson River.
00:37:13Percy,
00:37:14this is James
00:37:14from Seafood Logistics.
00:37:15That industry benchmark prize
00:37:16you promised
00:37:17was total bullshit.
00:37:18I want my shipping fees
00:37:19and the 500,000 penalty.
00:37:21Transfer it now.
00:37:22Otherwise,
00:37:22I'm sending your address
00:37:23to every creditor
00:37:24in Manhattan.
00:37:25Percy pinned all his
00:37:27remaining hope
00:37:27on live streaming.
00:37:28He begged his viewers
00:37:30to send him money
00:37:30to save Iron Anchor.
00:37:32He made a complete fool
00:37:33of himself
00:37:34like a stray dog
00:37:35losing every shred
00:37:36of dignity.
00:37:37He did pathetic stunts.
00:37:38He even fought
00:37:38homeless people for food.
00:37:40You felled us garbage
00:37:41for so long.
00:37:42What right does an animal
00:37:43like you have
00:37:43to ask for our forgiveness?
00:37:45Report him.
00:37:46Make him disappear for good.
00:37:47No, no, no.
00:37:49If I hadn't skimped
00:37:50on that 90,000,
00:37:51if I hadn't pushed him away,
00:37:52that six million
00:37:53would have been mine.
00:37:54The mayor's praise
00:37:55would have been mine too.
00:37:56He finally understood.
00:37:57Losing me
00:37:58wasn't just losing
00:37:59a line cook.
00:38:00It was losing
00:38:00his only brain
00:38:01and his last chance
00:38:02to be a decent human being.
00:38:04The live stream ban
00:38:05was the final straw
00:38:06that broke Percy.
00:38:07He looked at
00:38:08Sea Mist Restaurant
00:38:09glowing with lights
00:38:10and finally
00:38:11broke down sobbing.
00:38:14I was wrong.
00:38:16Grayson,
00:38:17I was really wrong.
00:38:23Time to pay up.
00:38:27Hear my love.
00:38:30No, no.
00:38:32Grayson, help me.
00:38:34Help me.
00:38:37I took Mia out
00:38:38for a nice meal
00:38:39because we were
00:38:40so poor last year.
00:38:42I couldn't even feed
00:38:43my pregnant wife
00:38:44decent food
00:38:44more than a few times.
00:38:46Mia, thank you
00:38:48for everything
00:38:50these past three years.
00:38:52Grayson,
00:38:52I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:38:54A month ago,
00:38:55we were stressing
00:38:55over $500 in rent.
00:38:58Dreams end,
00:38:59but these numbers
00:39:00don't lie.
00:39:01Three days ago,
00:39:02I sat here
00:39:02watching Percy
00:39:03throw money around
00:39:04like it was nothing.
00:39:05Now,
00:39:05Sea Mist's
00:39:06weekly revenue alone
00:39:07equals his entire
00:39:08net profit
00:39:08from last year.
00:39:09Ones, tens,
00:39:10hundreds, thousands,
00:39:11tens of thousands.
00:39:12Grayson,
00:39:12the prepayments
00:39:13and net profit,
00:39:14it's over $6 million?
00:39:15That's just the first week.
00:39:17With the mayor's endorsement,
00:39:18every big name
00:39:19in New York,
00:39:19politicians,
00:39:20and socialettes alike
00:39:21is lining up.
00:39:22We're already booked
00:39:23through Christmas next year.
00:39:25We're rich.
00:39:26We can give our child
00:39:27the best education.
00:39:28We never have to live
00:39:29under Percy's thumb again.
00:39:31I looked at Mia's
00:39:31excited face.
00:39:32It warmed my heart.
00:39:35To the future.
00:39:36Cheers.
00:39:38And Percy?
00:39:40At that very moment,
00:39:41he was huddled
00:39:42next to a dumpster,
00:39:43gnawling on someone
00:39:44else's disparted bread.
00:39:48I moved Mia
00:39:49out of that tiny
00:39:50rental apartment
00:39:51and bought the best
00:39:51estate in the city.
00:39:53Mr. Grayson,
00:39:54this is the most
00:39:54private estate
00:39:55in the entire city.
00:39:56It comes with
00:39:56its own helipad
00:39:57and a top of
00:39:57the security system.
00:39:59Do you like it?
00:40:00The sunlight here
00:40:01is beautiful.
00:40:01Perfect for our kid
00:40:02to run around
00:40:03on the grass someday.
00:40:04I never imagined
00:40:04I'd live in a place
00:40:05like this someday.
00:40:06Grayson,
00:40:07this is too expensive.
00:40:08Mia,
00:40:09you deserve the best.
00:40:10Just sign it.
00:40:10This will be
00:40:11our family's safe haven.
00:40:13Now,
00:40:13I bought the estate
00:40:14that Percy
00:40:15never even dared
00:40:16to dream of
00:40:16stepping foot in.
00:40:17And him?
00:40:18He's hiding
00:40:19in some dark corner,
00:40:21running from the creditors.
00:40:22The soft opening
00:40:23of CMIS Branch
00:40:24was a huge success.
00:40:25We can officially
00:40:26launch the expansion plan now.
00:40:27Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:40:28The top ten commercial districts
00:40:30are all fighting
00:40:30for us to set up there.
00:40:31The contracts are ready.
00:40:33Tell them this.
00:40:34CMIS has only one standard.
00:40:35The finest ingredients,
00:40:37absolute transparency.
00:40:38Percy failed
00:40:39because he looked
00:40:39at his customers
00:40:40and saw cash cows.
00:40:41I succeeded
00:40:42because I treat food
00:40:43like a religion.
00:40:45Expanding the business
00:40:46isn't about hoarding money.
00:40:47It's about letting
00:40:48more people around the world
00:40:49enjoy this food.
00:40:50Grayson,
00:40:51we're really starting
00:40:52a new life.
00:40:56The first stop
00:40:57for our expansion?
00:40:58That port Percy
00:40:59always wanted to take over
00:41:00for himself.
00:41:14Goodbye, Grayson.
00:41:15You made it.
00:41:17You goddamn piece of trash.
00:41:18You actually sold band meat?
00:41:20Are you even human?
00:41:21Dad,
00:41:23I was just trying
00:41:24to make money.
00:41:24Who knew that ungrateful snake,
00:41:26Grayson,
00:41:26would turn on me?
00:41:27Turn on you?
00:41:28If it weren't for him,
00:41:29we'd all be in prison
00:41:30right now because of you.
00:41:32We have no place
00:41:33for a beast like you.
00:41:35I was tasting
00:41:35the finest wine
00:41:36in my estate.
00:41:37Percy was in that old house,
00:41:39taking the beating
00:41:39my parents should have
00:41:40given him long ago.
00:41:41He used to think
00:41:42he was the pride
00:41:42of the family.
00:41:43In truth,
00:41:44he was just a cowardly,
00:41:45rotten parasite.
00:41:46You're a monster!
00:41:47Get out!
00:41:48Stop hitting me!
00:41:49Grayson is loaded.
00:41:50He's got tens of millions now.
00:41:52Make him help me!
00:41:55You still have the nerve
00:41:56to mention him?
00:41:58When you paid him
00:41:59two thousand bucks,
00:41:59did you ever stop
00:42:00to think he was
00:42:01your little brother?
00:42:02Get out!
00:42:03Go be a lying cook
00:42:04out on the streets!
00:42:12His nightmare
00:42:13had only just begun.
00:42:25What happened at Iron Anchor
00:42:27was a misunderstanding.
00:42:28I already switched suppliers.
00:42:30Just lift the ban, please.
00:42:32Give me one more day.
00:42:34Mr. Percy,
00:42:35your restaurant
00:42:36is on the national blacklist now.
00:42:38Old frozen meat
00:42:39and formalide-laden decor?
00:42:41Those search terms
00:42:42are number one on Google.
00:42:43Stop wasting our time.
00:42:44Get out
00:42:45and don't bring that stench
00:42:46into our office.
00:42:48Reputation takes
00:42:48a year to build
00:42:49and one plate
00:42:50of rotten Otoro sushi
00:42:51to destroy.
00:42:58Lisa!
00:43:00Where are you going?
00:43:01My cards are frozen.
00:43:02You have to help me.
00:43:03Help you?
00:43:04Percy?
00:43:04Right now,
00:43:05you're worse
00:43:06than a homeless guy
00:43:06on the street.
00:43:08These bottles
00:43:08are my appearance fee
00:43:10for putting on that show
00:43:11with you for a year.
00:43:12Don't contact me again.
00:43:13I don't want creditors
00:43:14thinking I'm your partner.
00:43:16The love he was so proud of?
00:43:20It ran faster than anyone
00:43:21the moment Iron Anchor
00:43:23got shut down.
00:43:24That's my car!
00:43:26That's my money!
00:43:33Watching Percy
00:43:34fall apart like this,
00:43:36I couldn't help
00:43:37but feel grateful
00:43:38that the woman
00:43:38by my side
00:43:39is Mia.
00:43:42With nowhere left to go,
00:43:44Percy stole mom
00:43:45and dad's retirement savings
00:43:47and borrowed a huge junk
00:43:48of money from the neighbors.
00:43:49My parents called me
00:43:51to handle it.
00:43:51I bought the most
00:43:52expensive estate
00:43:53in Manhattan,
00:43:54a place with a garden
00:43:55bigger than Percy's
00:43:57entire restaurant.
00:43:58I brought Mia back here
00:43:59to show my parents
00:44:00that their younger son,
00:44:01the one they called
00:44:02just a line cook,
00:44:03was the true pride
00:44:04of the family.
00:44:08Mom,
00:44:09just $20,000.
00:44:11Give it to me
00:44:12and I'll pay you back
00:44:12ten times
00:44:13when I'm back on top.
00:44:14You animal!
00:44:15You stole the money
00:44:16mom needs for her
00:44:16heart surgery
00:44:17and you scamp the neighbors.
00:44:18We can't even show
00:44:19our faces outside anymore.
00:44:20Are you going to
00:44:21drive us crazy?
00:44:22Grayson,
00:44:22you ungrateful snake.
00:44:24You live in a mansion
00:44:25where suits worth
00:44:26tens of thousands
00:44:26and you just watch
00:44:27your own brother die?
00:44:28Dad, mom,
00:44:29here are the keys
00:44:30to your new house,
00:44:31a villa I bought for you
00:44:32on the Upper East Side.
00:44:33It comes with the best
00:44:34in-home doctors.
00:44:35Percy,
00:44:36don't you dare
00:44:36use the word family
00:44:37to disgust me.
00:44:38The moment you stole
00:44:39their retirement money,
00:44:40you should have realized
00:44:41you're already out
00:44:42of this family.
00:44:46Money!
00:44:47That's mine!
00:44:49You owe me!
00:44:50This money is for the neighbors.
00:44:52As for you, Percy,
00:44:53you don't deserve
00:44:54to touch a single cent.
00:44:55I was wearing clothes
00:44:56he could never afford
00:44:57in his lifetime.
00:44:58I was standing at a height
00:44:59he would never reach
00:45:00and he was down on the ground
00:45:02like a dog
00:45:02finally realizing
00:45:03he had lost.
00:45:11Good morning,
00:45:12Mr. Grayson.
00:45:13Thank you for the jobs
00:45:14you've provided.
00:45:16Mr. Grayson,
00:45:17Seamist Restaurant
00:45:17is truly the pride
00:45:18of this entire street.
00:45:21A month ago,
00:45:22when I walked down
00:45:22this street,
00:45:23everyone looked at me
00:45:23like I was a joke.
00:45:24Now,
00:45:25I own half the storefronts
00:45:26on this block
00:45:27and the looks people give me
00:45:28have gone from contempt
00:45:29to respect.
00:45:31Suddenly,
00:45:32from the end of the street,
00:45:33a sharp scream
00:45:33cut through the air
00:45:34followed by a sickening crunch.
00:45:37Two million in penalties.
00:45:38You promised to pay today.
00:45:40Where's the money?
00:45:45He's got money.
00:45:46That's my own brother.
00:45:47Go ask him.
00:45:48He could sneeze
00:45:48and have enough
00:45:49to pay you all off.
00:45:50A piece of trash like you
00:45:52dares to call him your brother?
00:45:53He just issued a statement
00:45:54in the paper.
00:45:54He's cutting all ties with you.
00:45:56No money, huh?
00:45:57Then we do it the old way.
00:45:58Let's start with two fingers.
00:46:05I took Mia's hand
00:46:06and stepped through
00:46:07the magnificent doors
00:46:08of Seamist Restaurant.
00:46:09Behind me,
00:46:10Percy's screams for help
00:46:11echoed as the debt cappers
00:46:12dragged him into the shadows.
00:46:13Please!
00:46:15Go tell those guys
00:46:16don't let any blood
00:46:17get spilled
00:46:18in front of my restaurant
00:46:19and make it quick.
00:46:20Yes, Mr. Grayson.
00:46:34From today on,
00:46:35Seamist is no longer
00:46:36just a restaurant.
00:46:37We're going to build
00:46:38the most legitimate
00:46:39food supply chain
00:46:40in this city.
00:46:41And the people on Surlate,
00:46:42if they're clean,
00:46:43no tricks,
00:46:44no dirt,
00:46:45I'll double their pay.
00:46:46Yes, Grayson.
00:46:48Grayson,
00:46:48congratulations on
00:46:49the new company.
00:46:50I left that loser,
00:46:51Percy,
00:46:52because I could see
00:46:52you were the real deal,
00:46:53the one who actually
00:46:54gets things done.
00:46:55Grayson,
00:46:56does Seamist
00:46:57need a PR director?
00:46:59Or maybe
00:46:59a personal assistant?
00:47:01I know everything you like,
00:47:02just like I knew
00:47:03everything about Percy.
00:47:04Lisa, you sure knew Percy.
00:47:06You knew exactly
00:47:07how to kick him
00:47:07when he was down.
00:47:08And you know exactly
00:47:09how to crawl back
00:47:10like a parasite
00:47:11the second you smell money.
00:47:12Miss Lisa,
00:47:13Seamist doesn't need
00:47:14an assistant,
00:47:14but we are looking
00:47:15for a cleaner
00:47:15to take out the trash.
00:47:17But take a look
00:47:17at your clothes.
00:47:18I doubt you could
00:47:18even hold a rag, Stady.
00:47:20Get this piece of cheap,
00:47:21perfumed garbage
00:47:22out of here.
00:47:23From today on,
00:47:24if she shows up
00:47:24within a kilometer
00:47:25of Seamist,
00:47:26call the cops immediately.
00:47:28Grayson!
00:47:29Don't get cocky!
00:47:30You were just
00:47:31a line cook too!
00:47:34I watched
00:47:35her pathetic retreat.
00:47:37In the eyes
00:47:37of opportunists
00:47:38like her,
00:47:39every spot next to me
00:47:40has a price tag.
00:47:41But they don't know.
00:47:43Mia lived with me
00:47:44in that leaky
00:47:44rental apartment.
00:47:46I know for certain
00:47:47she is the one
00:47:48and only love
00:47:49of my life.
00:47:50Why do you keep
00:47:50staring at me?
00:47:54Mia,
00:47:57I think I owe you
00:47:58a grand wedding.
00:48:00I owe you a grand wedding.
00:48:12Mr. Grayson,
00:48:13do you take
00:48:14Mia to be your wife
00:48:15to cherish her
00:48:16in both poverty
00:48:17and wealth?
00:48:18I do.
00:48:21Today,
00:48:22all those wealthy
00:48:23socialettes
00:48:23who used to mock us
00:48:24as the poor couple
00:48:26are sitting right there
00:48:27in the audience,
00:48:28applauding us
00:48:29with the most
00:48:30flattering cheers.
00:48:31This is the coronation
00:48:33I promised my wife.
00:48:40Grayson,
00:48:41save me.
00:48:41The debt collures
00:48:42broke my fingers.
00:48:43I'm in the alley
00:48:43right outside the church.
00:48:45Please,
00:48:45just give me 50,000
00:48:46one last time.
00:48:50Is it him?
00:48:59Someone who doesn't matter.
00:49:01He doesn't get
00:49:01to disturb our wedding.
00:49:03I'm not going to
00:49:03pile on someone
00:49:04already down.
00:49:05Not out of mercy.
00:49:07He's just not worth
00:49:08my time.
00:49:09But I'm not a pushover
00:49:10either.
00:49:11Kindness needs teeth
00:49:12or it means nothing.
00:49:22That was mine.
00:49:24That should have been mine.
00:49:26That six million dollars,
00:49:27the fame,
00:49:28the woman,
00:49:29all of it was mine.
00:49:30I bought the most
00:49:31expensive billboard
00:49:32in Times Square.
00:49:33and played my wedding
00:49:34video on loop.
00:49:36Percy watched the screen
00:49:37in fury.
00:49:38Percy,
00:49:38your big shot brother
00:49:39already said he's
00:49:40stripping you of his
00:49:41last name.
00:49:41You don't even have
00:49:42a surname anymore now.
00:49:43He's got money.
00:49:44He's got billions.
00:49:45Go kill him.
00:49:46Kill him and all that
00:49:47money becomes mine.
00:49:48Kill him?
00:49:49Grayson is the mayor's
00:49:50right-hand band now.
00:49:52He's got thousands
00:49:53of bodyguards.
00:49:54But you,
00:49:54your eyeballs are worth
00:49:55something.
00:49:56How about we take
00:49:57them as interest first?
00:50:01Grayson,
00:50:02you think you've won?
00:50:03Your woman's about
00:50:04to give birth, right?
00:50:05You're going to regret this.
00:50:07I'm going to destroy
00:50:08your happiness.
00:50:09Completely.
00:50:10I thought he would just
00:50:11wither away in his despair.
00:50:13I underestimated how deeply
00:50:15greed and jealousy
00:50:16can twist into
00:50:17a person's soul.
00:50:18A vicious plan
00:50:20was closing in on me.
00:50:29Grayson!
00:50:31You live in a mansion
00:50:32worth thousands
00:50:33of square feet
00:50:34and you're going to let me
00:50:35freeze to death out here?
00:50:36Grayson,
00:50:37you know,
00:50:37he is your own brother.
00:50:39Can't you give him
00:50:39one more chance?
00:50:40A year ago,
00:50:41Percy was throwing money
00:50:42around at Iron Anchor
00:50:43while mom and dad
00:50:44lived in that
00:50:45leaky old house.
00:50:46He never once
00:50:47mentioned family.
00:50:48Now that he's drowning,
00:50:49he's using our elderly
00:50:50parents to kill
00:50:51and play the guilt card.
00:50:52That kind of
00:50:53disgusts me
00:50:54even more than
00:50:55that plate of
00:50:55rotten Yotosushi.
00:51:01Brother!
00:51:02Save me!
00:51:03Just transfer 10...
00:51:0410% of C-Myst shares
00:51:07to me
00:51:07and the creditors
00:51:08will leave me alone!
00:51:09Mom and dad,
00:51:10please say something
00:51:11for me!
00:51:12Grayson,
00:51:13those deck cleepers
00:51:13are beating Percy
00:51:14half to death!
00:51:15He still has the strength
00:51:16to beg.
00:51:17He still has the strength
00:51:18to come here.
00:51:19He's perfectly capable
00:51:20of pulling himself
00:51:21out of this mess.
00:51:22You cold-blooded freak!
00:51:32You tried to hurt
00:51:33your own little brother?
00:51:36Mom, dad,
00:51:37this is the son
00:51:38you wanted me to help.
00:51:39He never once
00:51:40thought of us as family.
00:51:44I never kick a man
00:51:45when he's down,
00:51:46but I will not
00:51:47repay evil
00:51:48with kindness.
00:51:50In that moment,
00:51:52his last family card
00:51:53was burned to ash
00:51:54by my own hand.
00:51:56You animal!
00:51:58Now we only have
00:51:59one son,
00:51:59Grayson!
00:52:00Don't you ever show
00:52:01your face in front
00:52:02of us again!
00:52:03No, no, no!
00:52:04Mom!
00:52:05Dad!
00:52:06No, no, no!
00:52:07No!
00:52:08Dad!
00:52:08No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:12No!
00:52:13Hopeless bastard!
00:52:15Grayson,
00:52:15it was our fault
00:52:16for asking you
00:52:17to help him.
00:52:19Don't worry about it, Mom.
00:52:21Mr. Grayson,
00:52:22it's bad.
00:52:22While your parents
00:52:23were asleep,
00:52:24a man claiming
00:52:24to be their son
00:52:25forced his way in
00:52:26and took their bags.
00:52:27That animal?
00:52:28Those bags had
00:52:29Mom and Dad's
00:52:30life savings!
00:52:31Their only retirement money!
00:52:35I thought Percy
00:52:36would just crawl
00:52:36into some corner
00:52:37and wait to die
00:52:38after being exposed.
00:52:40I underestimated
00:52:41how desperate
00:52:41a gambler
00:52:42with nothing left
00:52:43to loss can become.
00:52:49He didn't steal
00:52:50that money
00:52:51to pay off his debts.
00:52:52He stole it
00:52:53to feed his delusional
00:52:54dream of a comeback.
00:52:58Grayson,
00:52:58we found him.
00:53:00Percy is hooked up
00:53:00with an underground
00:53:01factory in Brooklyn.
00:53:02They produce
00:53:03illegal chemical flavorings
00:53:04that are highly addictive.
00:53:05He's trying to use
00:53:06those poisons
00:53:07to copy C-Mist's taste
00:53:08and force his way
00:53:09back into the market.
00:53:10For a little money,
00:53:11he's willing to do
00:53:11something like this.
00:53:25Get the best medical team
00:53:26in the country.
00:53:2724-hour care
00:53:28for Mom and Dad.
00:53:29Do whatever it takes
00:53:30to keep them
00:53:30from finding out
00:53:31what that bastard
00:53:31Percy has done.
00:53:32As for Percy,
00:53:33I'm going to make him pay.
00:53:36Before,
00:53:37I just wanted to see him
00:53:38broken on the streets.
00:53:40Now,
00:53:40I'm going to take him out myself.
00:53:48Talk!
00:53:49What did that ungrateful
00:53:51bastard give you?
00:53:52How dare you call him
00:53:53the most conscientious chef
00:53:54in Manhattan
00:53:55on livestream?
00:53:56He was about to pass out
00:53:58from hunger
00:53:59and I gave him a burger.
00:54:00He's a good man.
00:54:02You're the real demon.
00:54:05A good man?
00:54:06I'll break the hand
00:54:07that fed him.
00:54:08You're the real demon.
00:54:14Percy, go ahead.
00:54:15Touch that hand
00:54:16and see what happens.
00:54:18Grayson!
00:54:19Grayson!
00:54:19You think just because
00:54:20you're some big shot now
00:54:21you're untouchable?
00:54:22This old man insulted me.
00:54:24I'll kill him!
00:54:28My hand!
00:54:30Grayson,
00:54:30you crazy bastard!
00:54:32That one's for the burger.
00:54:34My rule is simple.
00:54:36A kindness,
00:54:37I return it tenfold.
00:54:39A slight,
00:54:40I break the bone
00:54:41and from that
00:54:42delivered it.
00:54:46Sir,
00:54:47an apartment
00:54:48on the Upper East Side
00:54:49and a restaurant
00:54:49on Sorelli Street.
00:54:51They're yours now.
00:54:53Mr. Grayson,
00:54:56this is too much.
00:54:58This is nothing
00:54:59next to that burger
00:55:00you gave me back then.
00:55:01Percy lay there
00:55:02in the filthy water
00:55:03watching the trash
00:55:04you've just been kicking
00:55:05suddenly become
00:55:06the property owner
00:55:07you don't have ever dreamed of.
00:55:09Jealousy and things
00:55:10over half the sun.
00:55:16You just wait!
00:55:20While I sat atop
00:55:21Sea Mist Restaurant,
00:55:22enjoying the rich aroma
00:55:24of premium Wagyu,
00:55:25Percy was hiding
00:55:26in the stinking alleys
00:55:27of the slums,
00:55:28trying to make
00:55:29his last desperate comeback.
00:55:32Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:55:35You see in this?
00:55:36This is what real charity
00:55:38looks like!
00:55:39Sea Mist charges
00:55:40thousands for one meal!
00:55:41That's robbery!
00:55:43My Bliss Box
00:55:44is only $9.99!
00:55:46$9.99!
00:55:48Get it while it lasts!
00:55:50You losers!
00:55:51Eat it or don't,
00:55:52I don't care!
00:55:53Once I save up enough
00:55:54to buy out the Sea Mist,
00:55:55you could beg for it
00:55:56on your knees!
00:55:57Get lost!
00:55:57All of you haters,
00:55:59get lost!
00:56:01He had become
00:56:01a complete outcast,
00:56:03despised by the entire internet.
00:56:05He was poisoning
00:56:06those poor people,
00:56:07using that nerve-destroying
00:56:08addictive flavoring
00:56:09to make money,
00:56:10dreaming of making a comeback.
00:56:12He was night.
00:56:13The foundation of business
00:56:14has never been
00:56:15violent addiction.
00:56:16It's absolute control
00:56:17over the global supply chain.
00:56:24Grayson,
00:56:25you came to laugh
00:56:26at Rip Me?
00:56:27Look!
00:56:28Look at all these people
00:56:29in line!
00:56:30My capital is doubling!
00:56:32Soon I'll be able
00:56:32to buy out
00:56:33your fake little restaurant!
00:56:34What have you got
00:56:35to fight me with?
00:56:37In Sea Mist Group's name,
00:56:39inform the Global Spice Association.
00:56:41From this moment on,
00:56:42whoever sells
00:56:43one gram of spice
00:56:43to any factory
00:56:44connected to Percy
00:56:45will be permanently erased
00:56:46from the global supply chain.
00:56:47Spice?
00:56:48I've got money,
00:56:49you idiot!
00:56:49I'll just buy some
00:56:50from Chinatown!
00:56:51Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:55What?
00:56:56Not just the big suppliers?
00:56:58Even the small workshops
00:56:59are cancelling?
00:57:00They're demanding
00:57:00triple the refund?
00:57:02Without spice,
00:57:02I can't cover up
00:57:03the bitterness
00:57:03of all that expired
00:57:04rotten meat!
00:57:05Hello?
00:57:06Percy,
00:57:06without fire and salt,
00:57:08you can't even cook
00:57:09a plate of garbage.
00:57:11I cut off
00:57:11his last lifeline.
00:57:16Ah!
00:57:20Leo,
00:57:21you're the person
00:57:22Grayson trusts the most.
00:57:24Just put one drop
00:57:25of this vial
00:57:25into his tuna.
00:57:26This five million
00:57:28and shares
00:57:28in the new company,
00:57:29it's all yours.
00:57:31Five million.
00:57:33Gotta admit,
00:57:34that's tempting.
00:57:35Ha ha ha ha!
00:57:35Good!
00:57:36That arrogant bastard,
00:57:37Grayson,
00:57:38he never imagined
00:57:38he'd be betrayed
00:57:39by someone he saved.
00:57:42Percy,
00:57:42looks like you forgot.
00:57:43Leo was about to go under,
00:57:45and I'm the one
00:57:46who pulled him out.
00:57:47Your filthy money
00:57:48couldn't even buy back
00:57:49the life I saved
00:57:50for him back then.
00:57:51When I save someone,
00:57:53loyalty is in their blood.
00:57:55Percy's blood?
00:57:57It's pure,
00:57:57rotting greed.
00:57:59Trying to buy loyalty
00:58:00with filthy garbage
00:58:01like that
00:58:02is basically him
00:58:03executing
00:58:03whatever intelligence
00:58:04he had left.
00:58:07Tell me,
00:58:08if you drank that stuff
00:58:09you cooked up yourself,
00:58:10what do you think
00:58:11would happen?
00:58:12No.
00:58:14No.
00:58:15Grayson,
00:58:16I'm your own brother.
00:58:17Don't kill me.
00:58:19Kill you?
00:58:20That would dirty my basement.
00:58:25Send him back,
00:58:26crawling in the mud.
00:58:27That's the only thing
00:58:28that suits him.
00:58:29He took a step against me,
00:58:30so I'll make sure
00:58:31he never walks straight again.
00:58:32His dignity?
00:58:34I've stomped it
00:58:35straight into the gutter.
00:58:39Starting today,
00:58:40the Sea Mist Group
00:58:41is acquiring
00:58:42every last shop
00:58:43on Surla Street.
00:58:44All of you
00:58:45who didn't follow Percy
00:58:46when he was doing
00:58:46his dirty work,
00:58:47you each receive
00:58:49a 5%
00:58:49in the original shares.
00:58:54I came back
00:58:55to rebuild,
00:58:55not to take revenge.
00:58:57I wanted these
00:58:58honest people to know
00:58:59follow Grayson,
00:59:01and even a vegetable seller
00:59:02can stand tall
00:59:03and make money
00:59:04right here in Manhattan.
00:59:09Hurry up.
00:59:10Just give me some bread.
00:59:11I'm starving.
00:59:12Here.
00:59:13Mr. Grayson
00:59:14specifically asked
00:59:15for this,
00:59:15for some special people.
00:59:17Three-day-old
00:59:18stale ends.
00:59:21I watched him.
00:59:24He once wanted
00:59:26to starve me.
00:59:27Now,
00:59:28he's only breathing
00:59:30because I choose
00:59:30to throw him scraps.
00:59:34Percy,
00:59:34you're not off
00:59:35the hook yet.
00:59:36That illegal
00:59:37factory's poison?
00:59:38Time for you
00:59:39to take a sip yourself.
00:59:45Everyone,
00:59:47see this restaurant's
00:59:48so-called
00:59:48natural ingredients
00:59:49are nothing but
00:59:50a lie for the rich.
00:59:52Today,
00:59:52I'm going to expose
00:59:53Grayson's crimes,
00:59:54monopolizing spices,
00:59:56and driving up prices.
01:00:01Our tech-based food
01:00:02costs only 1%
01:00:03of sea mistas,
01:00:04but tastes
01:00:05exactly the same.
01:00:07Grayson's era
01:00:07is over!
01:00:10I saw Percy's
01:00:11little circus act
01:00:11on the screen
01:00:12and it did nothing to me.
01:00:13He's cozying up
01:00:14to those drug manufacturers
01:00:15who skate just inside
01:00:16the law trying to define
01:00:17great food with
01:00:18cheap-mical garbage.
01:00:19He doesn't understand.
01:00:20Real top-tier ingredients
01:00:21are a gift from
01:00:22the earth and the sun,
01:00:23not some molecular
01:00:24arrangement in a lab.
01:00:29Today,
01:00:30the sea mist group
01:00:31will roll out
01:00:31the global
01:00:32restaurant platinum standard.
01:00:34Any restaurant
01:00:35that does not meet
01:00:35the natural supply chain audit
01:00:37will be removed
01:00:38from the global
01:00:38procurement
01:00:39wild bist for good.
01:00:42Mr. Grayson's proposal
01:00:43is a beacon
01:00:44for the restaurant industry
01:00:45and we support it
01:00:48100%.
01:00:48While Percy was still
01:00:50in that dark little corner
01:00:51trying to smear my name,
01:00:53I was at the top
01:00:54of the food chain
01:00:55rewriting the rules
01:00:56of the game.
01:00:58He thinks he's
01:00:58competing with me.
01:01:00The truth is,
01:01:01he's just swarming
01:01:02between my fingers.
01:01:04Ah!
01:01:05This is impossible!
01:01:06Why would the WTO
01:01:07stand up for a guy
01:01:08who used to be a line cook?
01:01:11Leo, tell the people
01:01:12next door that
01:01:13my press conference
01:01:14is over.
01:01:15Now,
01:01:17it's time to
01:01:18take out the trap.
01:01:25Grayson!
01:01:26This is illegal entry!
01:01:28My tech food
01:01:29is the future
01:01:30of the industry!
01:01:31The future
01:01:32of the industry?
01:01:33This chemical waste
01:01:34that makes people
01:01:35hallucinate?
01:01:36This bowl
01:01:37of plain
01:01:37kanji
01:01:38made simply
01:01:39with rice
01:01:39from the 40th
01:01:40parallel north
01:01:41and spring water
01:01:41from Crimea.
01:01:42Judges, please.
01:01:46This is
01:01:46the taste
01:01:47of a mother's cooking.
01:01:48This is the pure
01:01:49warmth of the earth.
01:01:50Today,
01:01:50I destroyed
01:01:51all his hypocrisy
01:01:52and arrogance
01:01:52with a single
01:01:53bowl of plain kanji.
01:01:54A true master chef
01:01:55doesn't need
01:01:56complex recipes.
01:01:57All he needs
01:01:58is a heart
01:01:58that respects nature.
01:01:59Percy's lab
01:02:00made perfect flavor
01:02:01compared to the real deal.
01:02:02It's just a toxic fraud.
01:02:04This
01:02:04is the molecular formula
01:02:06for your synthetic meat.
01:02:08There's a high dose
01:02:09of neural blockers
01:02:10in this.
01:02:11Keep eating it
01:02:12and you'll go crazy.
01:02:13Percy,
01:02:14this isn't cooking.
01:02:15It's straight up murder.
01:02:19Murderer!
01:02:19Get out of Manhattan!
01:02:21Go to hell,
01:02:21you piece of trash!
01:02:23No,
01:02:24this isn't true.
01:02:25Grayson,
01:02:25you're setting me up!
01:02:26Percy,
01:02:26the moment you decided
01:02:27to poison the world
01:02:28with your drugs,
01:02:29the gates of hell
01:02:30were already open for you.
01:02:35Percy knelt on the ground
01:02:37covered in filth,
01:02:38clinging to his father's legs
01:02:39and wailing.
01:02:40His illegal lab
01:02:40had just been raided
01:02:41by the police.
01:02:42He was now
01:02:43a wanted criminal
01:02:43across the country.
01:02:44Dad,
01:02:45Mom,
01:02:46save me!
01:02:47Grayson is gonna kill me!
01:02:48He's gonna throw me
01:02:49into the meat grinder
01:02:50with all those creditors!
01:02:54Percy,
01:02:56you are still
01:02:57my eldest son
01:02:58after all.
01:03:03Grayson,
01:03:04could you maybe...
01:03:10Mom,
01:03:11even now,
01:03:11you still think
01:03:12he just made a mistake?
01:03:13The first one,
01:03:14this is the pension
01:03:15transfer authorization
01:03:16he personally signed
01:03:17while you were both
01:03:17in the hospital.
01:03:18The second one,
01:03:19this is the contract
01:03:20where he mortgaged
01:03:21this family home
01:03:21to underground loan sharks
01:03:23behind your backs.
01:03:27You animal!
01:03:28You even stole
01:03:29our funeral fund!
01:03:30Do you want the two of us
01:03:31to die on the street?
01:03:32Dad,
01:03:32I was trying
01:03:32to make a comeback!
01:03:33Once my chemical sauce sells,
01:03:34I could buy you
01:03:35a hundred penthouses!
01:03:36Go.
01:03:36Just go,
01:03:37Percy.
01:03:38I don't have a son
01:03:39like you anymore.
01:03:41Percy,
01:03:42the biggest mistake
01:03:43you ever made
01:03:43was treating
01:03:44everyone around you
01:03:45as sacrificial lambs
01:03:47for your own success.
01:03:49Starting today,
01:03:50you are out
01:03:51of this family.
01:03:53Percy,
01:03:53do you remember
01:03:54what you said?
01:03:55That one of us
01:03:55would take over the world
01:03:56and the other
01:03:57would fade into obscurity?
01:03:58I'm going to make sure
01:03:59you watch me
01:03:59take over the world.
01:04:00Grayson!
01:04:01You goddamn bastard!
01:04:06Grayson,
01:04:07you said you wanted
01:04:08to settle family out.
01:04:09Counts on this day
01:04:10if you don't have
01:04:12solid evidence.
01:04:12You know the consequences.
01:04:14The Thorn family rule
01:04:16is promitism.
01:04:17But in dismantations,
01:04:19rules are just
01:04:20a cover-up
01:04:20for his greed.
01:04:21A year ago,
01:04:22Percy stood at
01:04:23a family gathering
01:04:23and mocked
01:04:24these hands of mine,
01:04:25saying they were
01:04:26only good for
01:04:26holding a kitchen knife.
01:04:27Today,
01:04:28I'm not just
01:04:28taking back my dignity.
01:04:29I'm tearing apart
01:04:30his lies with my own hands.
01:04:32He thought being family
01:04:33would save him,
01:04:34like a free pass.
01:04:35What he didn't know
01:04:36is that before
01:04:36absolute rules,
01:04:38every single betrayal
01:04:39comes with a price.
01:04:40First crime,
01:04:41exploitation.
01:04:42In the three years
01:04:43at Iron Anchor,
01:04:43he withheld $90,000
01:04:44of my front
01:04:45per Pjorkin payment
01:04:46and treated me
01:04:47like cheap liber.
01:04:48Second crime,
01:04:48poisoning.
01:04:49He colluded
01:04:50with chemical companies
01:04:50and added nerve-blocking
01:04:51agents to the ingredients.
01:04:53This is a direct assault
01:04:54on the 100-year reputation.
01:04:55Third crime,
01:04:56attempted murder.
01:04:57He tried to attack
01:04:58and harm me.
01:05:01You animal!
01:05:02You dared to harm
01:05:03your own brother?
01:05:04Fourth crime,
01:05:05and the most unforgivable one,
01:05:07embezzlement.
01:05:08While our parents
01:05:09were in the hospital,
01:05:10he stole their pension
01:05:11and mortgaged
01:05:11the family home.
01:05:12He tried to push
01:05:13the very people
01:05:14who raised him
01:05:14into the Hudson River.
01:05:15No,
01:05:16that was all for business.
01:05:17Grayson,
01:05:18you're insane.
01:05:19Evidence is cold,
01:05:20but people's hearts are hot.
01:05:21The moment those four crimes
01:05:23came together,
01:05:23to these elders,
01:05:24he was no longer
01:05:25the hope of the family.
01:05:26He was a rotting sword
01:05:26that had to be cut out.
01:05:27You worthless bastard!
01:05:29What do you have to say
01:05:30for yourself?
01:05:37Elder,
01:05:37even if I was wrong,
01:05:38I'm the only business genius
01:05:39in this family.
01:05:41Grayson is just a cook.
01:05:42He can't protect
01:05:42the family's legacy.
01:05:43A business genius?
01:05:45Parsi,
01:05:46all your so-called management
01:05:48is just chasing
01:05:48internet fame
01:05:49while clinging
01:05:50to the dying
01:05:50Iron Anchor restaurant.
01:05:55This is CMIST Group's
01:05:56valuation.
01:05:58$100 billion.
01:06:00I don't just control
01:06:01one-third of the
01:06:01top-tier supply gen.
01:06:03I also have the
01:06:04industry medal
01:06:04personally awarded
01:06:05by the World Trade Organization.
01:06:06I wasn't showing them money,
01:06:08but absolute dominance.
01:06:09In this world,
01:06:10capital speaks,
01:06:10and the highest level
01:06:11of capital,
01:06:12it makes people kneel.
01:06:13Percy thought he was
01:06:14running a business.
01:06:15Me?
01:06:15I'm running an era.
01:06:17When I spread out
01:06:17these reports enough
01:06:18to buy half of New York,
01:06:19his pathetic little assets
01:06:20wouldn't even be enough
01:06:21to pay my taxes.
01:06:22One...
01:06:23$100 billion?
01:06:25Grayson,
01:06:25you did this in just
01:06:26one year?
01:06:27Please, Mr. Grayson,
01:06:28take your place
01:06:29as the head of the family!
01:06:31That's mine!
01:06:32That was supposed
01:06:33to be mine!
01:06:34Grayson,
01:06:34what right do you have,
01:06:35you lowly line cook?
01:06:37Percy,
01:06:37take a good look.
01:06:39In this world,
01:06:40the strong make the rules.
01:06:41The weak
01:06:42just wait to die.
01:06:44I stand at the summit,
01:06:46looking down at him.
01:06:47He once wanted me
01:06:48to kneel.
01:06:48Now,
01:06:49he wasn't even worthy
01:06:51to lift his head
01:06:51and look at me.
01:06:59Thorn Percy,
01:07:00from this moment on,
01:07:01you no longer
01:07:02carry the Thorn name.
01:07:03You are out of this family.
01:07:05No!
01:07:06You can't tear it!
01:07:07I am a Thorn!
01:07:08I have Thorn blood
01:07:09running through my veins!
01:07:10Without the family,
01:07:11the creditors would tear
01:07:12Percy to pieces.
01:07:13I knew that,
01:07:13and I didn't help them.
01:07:15Percy,
01:07:15the moment you stole
01:07:16mum and dad's pension,
01:07:17you had no blood relation left.
01:07:19I watched that page
01:07:19get consumed by the flames,
01:07:21turning to ash.
01:07:22In Thorn family tradition,
01:07:23being expelled
01:07:23means social death.
01:07:24From now on,
01:07:25he is no one's son,
01:07:25no one's brother.
01:07:26As a nameless nobody
01:07:27in the filthiest sewers,
01:07:28he will pay back
01:07:29every blood bet he owed.
01:07:30I want you to live
01:07:32as a man with no name.
01:07:34Grayson!
01:07:35You bastard!
01:07:37Without my $100,000,
01:07:39you'd still be
01:07:40a cockroach in the gutter!
01:07:42A pathetic,
01:07:43lowly line cook!
01:07:52From this day forward,
01:07:54the Thorn family
01:07:55has no Percy.
01:07:56I looked up at the skyscrapers
01:07:58in the distance.
01:08:05No money.
01:08:07Then pay with your life.
01:08:09The Thorn family
01:08:10has already thrown you
01:08:11away like garbage.
01:08:12Right now,
01:08:13you're worse than
01:08:14the rats this alley.
01:08:18Please,
01:08:19just give me one more day.
01:08:21Just one day.
01:08:22Grayson has money.
01:08:24He has hundreds of billions.
01:08:26He could pluck a hair
01:08:27off his body
01:08:28and it would be enough
01:08:29to pay you all back.
01:08:34In Manhattan,
01:08:35the highest form of rejection
01:08:36isn't insults.
01:08:37It's silence.
01:08:39Right now,
01:08:39I'm sitting within
01:08:40arm rage of him,
01:08:40but I can't even be bothered
01:08:42to lift a finger.
01:08:43The moment he stole
01:08:44our parents' last bit
01:08:45of survival money,
01:08:46he lost even the right
01:08:47to die inside my thoughts.
01:08:49Grayson!
01:08:50My good little brother!
01:08:51Save me!
01:08:52They want my organs!
01:08:53They're gonna chop me up
01:08:54and feed me to the face!
01:08:55Give me a million!
01:08:56No,
01:08:57five hundred thousand!
01:08:58Just that much!
01:09:15Percy used to say
01:09:16that money was
01:09:16the only true faith
01:09:17in this world.
01:09:19Since he loves money so much,
01:09:21I'll let him feel
01:09:21what it's like
01:09:22when that money
01:09:22becomes a pile of stones
01:09:24crushing his spine.
01:09:33Percy,
01:09:34this is the money
01:09:34you owe us,
01:09:35the price of our sweat,
01:09:36our blood.
01:09:37Take these bills
01:09:38and crawl back
01:09:39to your hell!
01:09:47Money!
01:09:48My money!
01:09:50Grayson,
01:09:51you finally gave me money!
01:09:53I win!
01:09:54Percy,
01:09:55take a good look.
01:09:56The thing you treat
01:09:57as your religion,
01:09:58to me,
01:09:59is just spare change
01:10:00for trash.
01:10:03I used to be
01:10:04a line cook
01:10:04worth only $2,000.
01:10:07Now,
01:10:07I've made him understand.
01:10:09In front of absolute skill
01:10:10and absolute rules,
01:10:11all a greedy man
01:10:12will ever get
01:10:13is a pile of worthless paper.
01:10:26Listen up,
01:10:27everyone.
01:10:28From today on,
01:10:29there's only one standard
01:10:31on Manhattan's dining tables.
01:10:33The Sea Mist
01:10:34Ethical Chef Standard.
01:10:37Any chef who makes it
01:10:38onto Sea Mist's whitelist,
01:10:39I will personally vouch
01:10:40for their professional integrity.
01:10:42In return,
01:10:42Sea Mist guarantees
01:10:43their salary will double,
01:10:44but if anyone dares
01:10:45to put even one gram
01:10:46of dirty ingredients
01:10:47into their food,
01:10:48I promise you,
01:10:48they will never have the chance
01:10:50to pick up a pair
01:10:50of chopsticks again.
01:10:55Grayson,
01:10:55you're absolutely right.
01:10:57Now that you've laid down
01:10:58the rules,
01:10:58none of us would dare
01:10:59to think otherwise.
01:11:00We'll do everything
01:11:01according to Sea Mist rules.
01:11:12Joss,
01:11:13Grayson asked me
01:11:13to tell you something.
01:11:15Since you loved
01:11:16helping Percy handle
01:11:17all that rotten,
01:11:18dirty meat back in the day,
01:11:20you can take on
01:11:21the dirtiest,
01:11:22most disgusting jobs
01:11:23all by yourself
01:11:24for the rest of your life.
01:11:27Grayson!
01:11:28I really know
01:11:29I was wrong.
01:11:31I was just
01:11:31following orders.
01:11:34Please,
01:11:35let me go back
01:11:36to cutting vegetables.
01:11:37I don't even need money.
01:11:39Just let me back
01:11:40into a kitchen.
01:11:46Go back
01:11:46to cutting vegetables?
01:11:48Joss,
01:11:48you're way too naive.
01:11:49You've been blacklisted
01:11:50by the entire restaurant
01:11:51industry.
01:11:52No!
01:11:53No!
01:11:53No!
01:12:04New York is just
01:12:05the beginning.
01:12:10Grayson,
01:12:11look how soundly
01:12:12the baby is sleeping.
01:12:14He's going to inherit
01:12:15everything I've built.
01:12:23Try this.
01:12:30I've given Mia
01:12:30the most precious love
01:12:32in the world
01:12:33because she was there
01:12:34for me when the road
01:12:35was darkest.
01:12:37This single piece
01:12:38of Satimi
01:12:39is worth a fortune,
01:12:41but it still can't compare
01:12:42to the hug
01:12:43she gave me back then.
01:12:44That was mine.
01:12:46That should have
01:12:46been my spot.
01:12:48Leo,
01:12:50the flies outside
01:12:51are too noisy.
01:12:52Clean them up.
01:12:53No!
01:12:55No!
01:12:55No!
01:12:56No!
01:12:56No!
01:12:57No!
01:12:57On opposite sides
01:12:59of a fence.
01:13:00Worlds apart.
01:13:12Grayson,
01:13:13I knew it.
01:13:14I knew you would
01:13:15come back.
01:13:15Professor,
01:13:16if it weren't for that
01:13:17hard bread you gave me
01:13:18back then,
01:13:19I wouldn't have made it
01:13:20until Sea Mist opened.
01:13:21On behalf of the
01:13:22Sea Mist group,
01:13:23I am donating
01:13:23ten billion dollars.
01:13:25Not just for the school,
01:13:26but to honor Professor
01:13:27Smith's craftsmanship.
01:13:30Grayson,
01:13:31does the Research Institute
01:13:32need any logistics staff?
01:13:33We haven't been doing
01:13:34well these past few years.
01:13:36For old times' sake,
01:13:37I remember you.
01:13:38You said back then
01:13:38that I was only fit
01:13:39to clean your toilets.
01:13:41That was a joke.
01:13:42Grayson,
01:13:42we'd take any job,
01:13:43even a janitor
01:13:44at the Research Institute.
01:13:46Tell HR
01:13:47every single position
01:13:48at the Research Institute
01:13:49from security
01:13:49to cleaning staff
01:13:50to the guys
01:13:50mowing the lawn
01:13:51I have to interview
01:13:51them personally.
01:13:52I watched the fear
01:13:53and greed in their eyes
01:13:54and I felt nothing.
01:13:55Class,
01:13:56it used to be
01:13:56their weapon
01:13:57for bullying me.
01:13:58Now,
01:13:59it's my shackles
01:13:59for judging them.
01:14:06Sir,
01:14:07I used to run
01:14:07a restaurant.
01:14:08I know a lot
01:14:09about trash sorting.
01:14:10Please,
01:14:11just give me a job
01:14:12so I can eat.
01:14:13Alert.
01:14:13Blacklisted individual
01:14:14detected.
01:14:15Persing.
01:14:15Permission level
01:14:16permanently banned.
01:14:21Get lost!
01:14:22Every single
01:14:22business under
01:14:23sea mist,
01:14:24even our trash dump
01:14:25won't take scum
01:14:26like you!
01:14:31Grayson!
01:14:32You can't do this
01:14:34to me!
01:14:35I'm your own brother!
01:14:36I bought up
01:14:37all the trash
01:14:38processing rights
01:14:38in Manhattan,
01:14:39not just for the monopoly,
01:14:41but to make sure
01:14:41certain scumbags
01:14:42have nowhere left
01:14:43to hide in this city.
01:14:45He once said
01:14:45I was a line cook
01:14:46who could be replaced
01:14:47by any homeless guy
01:14:48off the street.
01:14:48Now,
01:14:49he doesn't even qualify
01:14:51to be a sorter.
01:14:52The AI recognition
01:14:53system upgrade
01:14:54looks good.
01:14:55Give the tech department
01:14:56a bonus.
01:14:57The struggles
01:14:58of a clown like this
01:14:59aren't even worth
01:14:59a second of my anger
01:15:00anymore.
01:15:01His misery is just
01:15:02background noise
01:15:03on my way to the top.
01:15:17In the old era of the food industry,
01:15:19the exploiters believed
01:15:19that as long as
01:15:20they controlled the capital,
01:15:21they could run over skill
01:15:22and destroy a chef's soul.
01:15:23But the rise of sea mist
01:15:24is here to tell everyone
01:15:25in this room,
01:15:26I am rewriting the rules.
01:15:27The exploiters will eventually
01:15:28be abandoned by the times,
01:15:29but the craftsmen
01:15:30who protect the soul,
01:15:31they will be crowned kings.
01:15:32I wasn't just giving a speech.
01:15:34I was declaring war
01:15:35on this cold-blooded
01:15:36world of capital.
01:15:37A year ago,
01:15:38they were Percy's
01:15:39guests of honor,
01:15:39laughing as I got
01:15:40thrown out on my ass.
01:15:42Today,
01:15:42with sea mist standards,
01:15:44I've put a shackle
01:15:44called conscience
01:15:45around every single
01:15:46one of their necks.
01:15:47Grayson,
01:15:48sea mist group's valuation
01:15:49can no longer be measured
01:15:50by money.
01:15:50What is your next goal?
01:15:51My goal is to make sure
01:15:52there is no more soil
01:15:52in this world
01:15:53for a cancer like Percy to grow.
01:15:54I saw it
01:15:55in the eyes of those tycoons
01:15:56who once seemed untouchable,
01:15:58a fear they've never felt before.
01:16:00The underdog's rise
01:16:01isn't a myth.
01:16:02It's the judgment
01:16:03I wrote with my own hands.
01:16:07Grayson!
01:16:08I'm cooperating.
01:16:09I'll tell you everything.
01:16:10Three months ago,
01:16:10that maniac Percy
01:16:11bribed one of our lab technicians.
01:16:13He took high concentration
01:16:14harmful chemicals.
01:16:15Make it clear.
01:16:17He wants to destroy
01:16:18sea mist's air.
01:16:19He's planning to put
01:16:19harmful substances
01:16:20in that batch
01:16:20of special supply milk powder.
01:16:22I thought stripping him
01:16:23of his name
01:16:23and letting him rot
01:16:24in the gutter
01:16:25like a rat
01:16:25was my final act of mercy.
01:16:27But I underestimated
01:16:28how vicious a mad dog can be.
01:16:30He dared to reach
01:16:31his filthy hands
01:16:32towards my child.
01:16:33Leo,
01:16:34go take care of something.
01:16:36Please give your orders,
01:16:37Mr. Grayson.
01:16:37Mobilize the global legal team.
01:16:39Yes, sir.
01:16:40I want Percy
01:16:40to spend the rest of his life
01:16:41in the coldest,
01:16:42darkest prison cell
01:16:43they can find.
01:16:43Tell the warden
01:16:44I don't want him dead.
01:16:45I want him to accidentally
01:16:46live to be 100
01:16:47every single day
01:16:48surrounded by sickness
01:16:49and the torture
01:16:49of those creditors.
01:16:50Watching the glory
01:16:51of my sea mist restaurant
01:16:52shine in the sunlight.
01:16:53Blinding him
01:16:54from behind those bars.
01:16:55Since he doesn't
01:16:56want to be human,
01:16:57I'll send him to real hell.
01:16:58I want him to live
01:16:58in endless regret,
01:16:59a dying flame
01:17:00in the depths of hell.
01:17:05Defendant Percy,
01:17:06on multiple counts,
01:17:07including food safety violations,
01:17:09attempted harm,
01:17:10malicious tempering,
01:17:10and massive fraud,
01:17:12you are hereby sentenced
01:17:12to life in prison
01:17:14without parole.
01:17:19A year ago,
01:17:20I begged him in the rain
01:17:21to leave mom and dad
01:17:22some money
01:17:22for their medical bees.
01:17:23He tore my dignity
01:17:25to shreds in public,
01:17:26and now he wants
01:17:26to talk about blood?
01:17:27The moment he reached
01:17:28for mom and dad's pension,
01:17:30the moment he reached
01:17:31for my baby's milk powder,
01:17:32he cut that vein
01:17:33with his own hands.
01:17:38Grayson,
01:17:38all that mess in Manhattan,
01:17:41it's finally over.
01:17:43We were blind back then.
01:17:45It was our fault.
01:17:47Mom,
01:17:48it's all in the past.
01:17:49I watched the relieved smiles
01:17:51on my parents' faces.
01:17:53Finally,
01:17:53they were free
01:17:54from that nightmare.
01:17:56Percy is counting lice
01:17:58in a cold prison cell.
01:18:00And my family?
01:18:02We're standing in the sunlight.
01:18:05He rewrote how this industry
01:18:08exploits people.
01:18:09He protected the soul
01:18:10of ingredients.
01:18:10Now let us welcome
01:18:11the world's top culinary leader,
01:18:13Grayson.
01:18:17Today,
01:18:17this trophy doesn't belong
01:18:18to me alone.
01:18:20It belongs to everyone.
01:18:21I'm not standing here
01:18:22to enjoy some empty fame.
01:18:23I'm here to issue
01:18:24the new C-MIST decree.
01:18:25These people,
01:18:26they were once exploited
01:18:26by Percy at Iron Mocker.
01:18:28I announced that C-MIST group
01:18:29will set up
01:18:29a $1 billion support fund.
01:18:31Every front-line employee
01:18:32who suffered exploitation,
01:18:33as long as you pass
01:18:34the assessment,
01:18:35C-MIST will grant you
01:18:36the right to open
01:18:36a franchise free meal.
01:18:37Long live Grayson!
01:18:39This is what a real
01:18:40slap in the face
01:18:40looks like.
01:18:41I'm going to make
01:18:42Percy watch on TV.
01:18:44All those people
01:18:44he called homeless bums
01:18:45are becoming millionaires
01:18:47under my wing.
01:18:47And him?
01:18:48He can't even afford
01:18:49a roll of toilet paper.
01:18:53Grayson,
01:18:54two-thirds of the
01:18:54Michelin restaurants
01:18:55around the world
01:18:56have already applied
01:18:56to join the C-MIST
01:18:57certification standard.
01:19:02Then let them wait in line.
01:19:03We make the rules.
01:19:07One year ago,
01:19:08I was at the other end
01:19:08of this city
01:19:09holding only $10,000
01:19:10the money I'd bled for.
01:19:11Now,
01:19:12this building beneath my feet
01:19:13plus thousands of branches
01:19:14around the world,
01:19:15my net worth
01:19:16has exceeded
01:19:16a hundred billion.
01:19:17And this Manhattan
01:19:18reeking of money,
01:19:19I use the most humble skills
01:19:20to level every injustice.
01:19:23What are you thinking about?
01:19:27I'm thinking
01:19:28that poor kid
01:19:29who rented that $500 dump
01:19:31had pretty good taste.
01:19:34That was the best
01:19:35investment in the world.
01:19:36The name Percy
01:19:37has been burned to ash
01:19:38from the family tree
01:19:39and erased
01:19:39from this city's history.
01:19:40From now on,
01:19:41no more iron anchor
01:19:42in Manhattan,
01:19:43only C-MIST.
01:19:44Survival of the fittest
01:19:45was the old rule.
01:19:46My rule?
01:19:46Let the ones with soul
01:19:47rise to the top.
01:19:48I'm Gracie.
01:19:49The C-MIST era
01:19:50never ends.
01:20:20The C-MIST
01:20:21C-MIST.
