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