00:01My best friend and I opened this joint a year ago.
00:04He cleared a million in profit, but he tossed me 10 grand.
00:09Chad, we agreed on 50-50.
00:12What is this?
00:13Bro, be realistic.
00:15I just bought that luxury mansion and I fronted the cash for this place.
00:1950-50 doesn't make sense anymore.
00:21Looking at that smirk, I don't even recognize the guy who begged me to save his ass a year ago.
00:26Man, I am going under. You've got that killer sauce recipe.
00:29Help a bro out. We split everything 50-50.
00:34We had a deal. I run the kitchen. You run the front.
00:38You don't just change the terms after you strike gold.
00:41Please. Burger flippers are a dime a dozen.
00:45Chad is paying you exactly what you are worth.
00:48You should be thanking him instead of getting greedy.
00:52I walked away from a steady gig for this.
00:54I do the work of three guys, using my own recipes.
00:58Chill, Chloe. Mike's my boy.
01:00Look, man.
01:01Between the new mansion and the wedding, I am tapped out.
01:03Grind it out this year, and I'll make it right the next week. Promise.
01:06Chad, I need this cash for Lily's college fund.
01:12Emma and I have been married five years, and I've given her nothing but a struggle.
01:16I won't let my kids suffer too.
01:20Please.
01:20A public school is perfectly fine for a kid like yours.
01:23You're just a burger flicker, Mike.
01:25Not a hedge fund manager.
01:27And Emma stays home.
01:29Let's be real.
01:30Your daughter is destined for community college.
01:32Hey, my girl's blunt, but she's got a point.
01:35If the kid's got brains, she'll survive anywhere.
01:39Like I said, keep grinding this year, and I'll hook you up next time.
01:45Out of contract, he holds all the cards.
01:48Pushing it now just starts a war I can't afford.
01:53Oh, hey. Come by the new mansion tomorrow night.
01:56Having the old frat brothers over to celebrate.
01:58Bring Emma.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Sure.
02:06Hey, babe.
02:08Late rush at the joint?
02:14It was payday.
02:17Wait.
02:18Ten grand?
02:19Didn't the place clear a million dollars this year?
02:21Chad says since he fronted the lease and the remodel, I'm just a burger flicker.
02:26He actually thinks he's doing me a favor.
02:31I knew he might play dirty, but this...
02:34This is just sick.
02:42I'm a failure.
02:44I can't even scrape together a 50 grand college fund for our own kid.
02:53Stop it.
02:55You are the heart of that place.
02:57Those lines out the door, they're for your burgers, not his money.
03:01What does it matter?
03:02I haven't taken a single day off in a year.
03:05I've flipped over a hundred thousand burgers, sweating over that grill for 16 hours a day.
03:11And for what?
03:12I'd literally make more driving an Uber.
03:17You're just too trusting.
03:19But that honest heart is exactly why I married you.
03:25Babe, you really don't blame me for screwing this up.
03:29Never.
03:30Live and learn.
03:31What's our next move?
03:32Chad's toxic.
03:34He hasn't lifted a finger all year, and he expects me to kiss the ring.
03:38I'm better off taking my secret sauce and going solo.
03:41Do it.
03:42I've got your back.
03:43A hundred percent.
03:44But we've been bros since college.
03:46If I walk, that bridge is burned.
03:48Then talk to him tomorrow.
03:49Clear the air.
03:50If he agrees to a real 50-50 split next year, we stay.
03:54But this time we get it in writing.
03:56Alright.
03:57The frat reunion is at his housewarming party tomorrow.
04:00I'll pull him aside.
04:09Yo, Mike.
04:10You didn't have to bring anything, man.
04:13The new place is gorgeous, Chad.
04:15Congratulations.
04:18Well, well.
04:19Let's see what the big partner brought us.
04:22Home brewed beer?
04:24Seriously, Mike?
04:25Did you ferment this in your bathtub?
04:27We're drinking Cristal tonight, and you bring us moonshine?
04:30Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you.
04:32Dude, Chad made you rich this year.
04:34You're a partner making bank, and you show up with homemade booze?
04:37That's just cheap, man.
04:39Hey, take it easy, guys.
04:41It's the thought that counts.
04:43I don't judge my bros for being budget conscious.
04:46Seriously though, Chad.
04:48What was the payout?
04:49Don't be shy.
04:50Give us a number.
04:52Let's keep the business talk away from the pool, alright?
04:5510,000.
04:57Out of a million dollar profit, my total take home for the year was exactly 10 grand.
05:02What? I thought you guys were 50-50.
05:04Even a server at a diner clears 40 or 50 grand a year.
05:07Oh, please.
05:08Being a partner with Chad makes Mike a boss, technically.
05:11Working for someone else makes him a wage slave.
05:13The status is completely different.
05:15Exactly.
05:16If I didn't let him ride my coattails, he'd be nowhere.
05:19Don't sweat it, Mike.
05:19I've got you.
05:20You won't starve on my watch.
05:23Looking at this guy I used to call a brother, I just feel sick.
05:27It's time to end this charade.
05:30Chad, we need to have a serious talk about the business.
05:32What's there to talk about?
05:35Actually, hold that thought.
05:36My guests are starving.
05:38Hey, Mike, be a pal and fire up the grill for us.
05:41Excuse me?
05:44What are you staring at?
05:45Get to work.
05:45You're the burger boy, right?
05:47You expect us to cook for ourselves?
05:49I thought I was a guest, finally getting a day off.
05:52I never thought I'd be treated like the hired help.
05:54He takes my money and still expects me to do the heavy lifting.
06:02Girls, look at this rock Chad just got me.
06:04Over 50 grand.
06:06Honestly, it's so heavy it actually hurts.
06:08He totally spoils me.
06:10Not like some of the clueless losers.
06:12So, Emma.
06:14You and Mike have been married for five years now.
06:18He must have showered you in jewelry.
06:22It's only $1,200.
06:23The most affordable piece in the case.
06:26Let's get it, babe.
06:27We've been married all this time.
06:30I can't have you walking around without a decent piece of jewelry.
06:33Save the cash for the business.
06:36Once the burger giant takes off, we'll upgrade.
06:40Can I just see that plain metal band, the $120 one?
06:51Let's raise a glass to our host, to Chad, for the invite, and for his empire growing even bigger this
06:57year.
07:02Mommy, when is Daddy going to sit with us?
07:05Hey, Mike.
07:06Chop, chop.
07:07Don't keep everyone waiting on you.
07:11Coming.
07:14Listen, Mike.
07:15You came from nothing.
07:18Chard's doing you a massive favor keeping you around.
07:20Keep your head down, flip the burgers, and maybe he'll keep throwing you scraps.
07:25Right then it hit me.
07:27To them, I was never a partner.
07:29I was a fool.
07:30A workhorse.
07:31Cheap labor.
07:32I made my decision right there to go solo.
07:36I wanted to see if Chad was really a boss.
07:39Without me.
07:40I'll drink to that.
07:41To expanding the empire.
07:45Expanding the empire.
07:47Cheers.
07:49Seriously, Chad.
07:51This zip code is legendary.
07:53You're right by all the elite private schools, aren't you?
07:56Exactly.
07:57I've already secured a spot for my future kids.
07:59It's an investment in their pedigree.
08:02Mike, what about your daughter?
08:03I heard the public school in your area is, well, pretty rough.
08:06Oh, Chad, don't be so insensitive.
08:09Mike's busy enough just trying to pay rent.
08:12He can't afford to worry about elite education yet.
08:16Let's go.
08:18Hey Mike, hold up.
08:19Chloe and I are flying to Vegas this weekend.
08:22You hold down the fort.
08:23Grease traps backed up at the shop.
08:25Don't call a plumber.
08:26I'm not wasting 200 an hour.
08:28Get under there and fix it yourself.
08:30Call it sweat equity.
08:33What's with the look?
08:34Nothing.
08:35See ya.
08:45Babe, I completely humiliated you today.
08:50Mike, I don't mind roughing it and I couldn't care less about their BS.
08:54But I can't live without hope.
08:56Let's go solo.
08:58I know you can do this.
08:59But we can't afford to lose.
09:01What if it goes south?
09:03If we go broke, we'll flip burgers on the street.
09:06As long as we're a team, we'll be fine.
09:10Alright.
09:11We're doing it.
09:12We're going solo.
09:19What are you crunching?
09:22We have exactly 10 grand.
09:24Pay off six in credit card debt, hold back three for rent and Lily's tuition.
09:28We're left with a thousand bucks.
09:30That's nothing.
09:31In LA, a thousand ranks doesn't even cover health department permits.
09:35Let alone a decent food truck.
09:36We're dead in the water.
09:41Where did you get this?
09:43After dropping Lily off, I hit the pawn shop.
09:45I sold my grandmother's vintage ring.
09:49But that was a family heirloom.
09:52With this cash, we have enough to open our own joint.
09:55Don't stress, babe.
09:58When you make it big, you can buy me a massive diamond.
10:04Yeah.
10:05I swear it.
10:06Wait.
10:07Aren't you the chef from that burger joint across the street?
10:10You guys are booming.
10:11Why rent my bankrupt spot?
10:13Expanding?
10:14I'm starting my own place.
10:15Let's do a deal on the rent.
10:1738k for the year.
10:1938 works.
10:20It's a tough spot anyway.
10:21You're the only guy making money around here.
10:24If I had a partner like you, I'd still be open.
10:27Let's sign the lease today.
10:28Done.
10:28The kitchen gear was still here.
10:31To save cash, I painted the place myself.
10:35Taking this step made me realize
10:38nothing changes until you have the guts to walk away from the abuse.
10:51Hello?
10:52Mike, is that grease trap fixed yet?
10:54Not yet.
10:55Why isn't it done?
10:57You slacking off just because I'm not breathing down your neck?
11:00Remember, we're partners.
11:01If we're partners, what exactly are you doing?
11:05I'm taking my fiance to Vegas and my new Porsche.
11:09Do you have any idea how bad the market is?
11:12The industry is a blood black.
11:13Burger flitters are a dime a dozen.
11:16Without me, you'd be on the street and your kid would be on food stamps.
11:19The money completely blinded him.
11:22Ever since he got that mansion and the Porsche.
11:25He thinks he's a god and I'm just his peasant.
11:29Look, maybe I was harsh but it's for your own good.
11:32Just keep flipping burgers.
11:34The pipes can wait till I get back.
11:35Okay.
11:36When you get back, I've got a massive surprise waiting for you.
11:43Babe, you're the boss and he's just the help.
11:46Why do you coddle him? Just fire the loser already.
11:49You don't get it.
11:50The guy's a genius with the sauce.
11:53I have to keep him on a short leash.
11:55It's a burger joint, Chad.
11:56Anyone can flip a patty.
11:58My brother needs a job.
12:00Put him in the kitchen and show Mike he's replaceable.
12:02Yeah.
12:03It's time to knock him down a peg before he gets too big for his boots.
12:09All set.
12:10Don't see many owners getting their hands dirty like this.
12:13You've got hustle, man.
12:15This place is gonna blow up.
12:16Appreciate it.
12:18Just trying to save every penny right now.
12:20Come by for a burger once we open.
12:22It's on the house.
12:25Bet.
12:26I'll be there.
12:30Mom, Dad, isn't the Porsche incredible?
12:33Told you Chad was a high roller.
12:35Impressive, Chad.
12:37But a local burger joint is small time.
12:39If you want to marry my daughter, you need a real empire.
12:42Don't worry, sir.
12:44Give me one more year to stack some cash
12:45and I'm taking this franchise national.
12:48Chloe mentioned you have a partner.
12:51Some guy named Mike.
12:52Partner, please.
12:54That's just for show.
12:55He's just a burger flipper on my payroll.
13:01My place is always packed.
13:05Why the hell is it closed?
13:07Useless trash.
13:08I look as wide for one second and he ghosts.
13:11I'm firing his ass the second I see him.
13:12Wait.
13:13Didn't that place across the street go under?
13:15Looks like someone already moved in.
13:19Mike Donald, no way.
13:46Oh
13:52Mike
13:53What the hell are you doing? Don't tell me this dump belongs to you. It's mine
13:58You spent the whole party acting like the generous boss who made me rich
14:03Well since I'm so loaded now I decided to open my own spot
14:06Want to be my first customer or is your wallet as empty as your promises?
14:11What is this you open a rival shop? What about our partnership?
14:15I tried to tell you at the party, but you were too busy listening to yourself talk
14:18I'm officially out. Go find yourself another burger flipper. Are you kidding me?
14:23We've been brothers for years, and you're stabbing me in the back like this. I'm not playing you Chad
14:28But if I stay with you my family stars
14:30$10,000 doesn't pay the bills and it definitely won't put my daughter to college. We had a deal
14:35This is our business. You're making a move like this without even talking to me
14:41Partnership, when did you ever treat me like an equal in your eyes? I was just cheap labor. Oh
14:48Spare me the victim act. Char did you a massive favor by giving you a job and you throw it
14:53back in his face?
14:54$10,000 is the market rate for a burger flipper Mike?
14:59Stop acting so entitled last year
15:01You were the one begging me to quit my high-end gig and save your pathetic ass. You promised 50
15:06-50
15:06I worked 16-hour shifts handled the supplies and bled for that recipe while you were out partying
15:11I didn't complain once and this is how you repay me
15:15Bro, just listen to me. I fell for your BS. We cleared a million dollars in profit
15:18I broke my back for you, and you tossed me 10 grand like I was a beggar
15:21Honestly, if you'd give me even 30% I probably would have stayed for the sake of our history
15:25You didn't treat me like a brother. You treat me like a fool. We're finished
15:29I'm done being your doormat
15:31Is he serious? You made a million bucks and you paid him 10 grand? That's ruthless
15:36You swore this was your empire
15:38You're full of hot air, Chad
15:40Not a single word of truth
15:45We're leaving, Chloe
15:46This guy's a fraud
15:48The wedding is off
15:49Sir, wait! Don't listen to him! He's just greedy
16:01You think you're special, Mike? Look at yourself! You're a broke loser who can't even afford a college fund
16:06You have nothing! You think you can run a shop without my money? Good luck
16:11Your place was a graveyard until I showed up
16:13And as for your investment, I was the one doing the heavy lifting
16:17I was a fool to think brotherhood meant anything to you
16:20But without my recipe, your joint is just an empty shell
16:22Let's see how long you last
16:25Mark my words! This place is going to be huge without you!
16:29You'll be bankrupt and begging on the street by next month! Just wait!
16:33Sir, ma'am, ignore him! He's just an ungrateful snake biting the hand that feeds him
16:38I'm hiring a world-class chef tomorrow
16:40We're going to make millions! This is just the beginning!
16:43Exactly. I've been telling Chad to fire that loser for months
16:46Who does he think he is?
16:48My brother takes over tomorrow
16:49He's an actual pro, Mike! He's going to cook circles around you
16:55Chad and his fret bros are blowing up the alumni group chat
16:58Spreading rumors that I stole his recipes
17:00The rest of the sheep are just jumping on on the bandwagon
17:03Dragging my name through the mud
17:05It's sickening
17:13Still letting those toxic losers get in your head?
17:17Chad and his crew are destroying my reputation in that group
17:20I didn't think those guys could stoop this low
17:23Babe, did I mess up? Should I have cleared the air with them sooner?
17:26He tried at the party, but his ego got in the way
17:30Look, if they're willing to turn on you over one stupid rumor, the truth doesn't matter to them anyway
17:36You don't owe them an explanation
17:38But right now, to the whole alumni network, I look like absolute trash
17:43Honey, once this place takes off and you show them what you've got, everything changes
17:48Success is the best revenge
17:53Emma, did you just...
17:55Left the group, cutting out the cancer
17:57From now on, we only focus on us
17:59Get some sleep, you've got this
18:02The whole world thinks I'm a joke, but you never doubt me
18:06For you and Lily
18:08I'm going to make this work
18:10I'll build us an empire they can't even fathom
18:13I promise
18:16It's the middle of the lunch rush
18:18And we have exactly two tables
18:22It's day one, babe
18:23It takes time
18:26But we funded this with your grandma's pond ring
18:28If I can't even make that back
18:40Hey, don't lose heart
18:41The beginning is always the hardest part
18:45Maybe I should run some Instagram ads
18:46Pay a foodie influencer for a review
18:48We need to get on the map
18:50We don't need that
18:51The burgers speak for themselves
18:53We're a little off the beaten path
18:54But once word of mouth hits about your secret sauce
18:57They'll be lining up around the block
18:59Just give it time
19:08Mom, what are you doing here?
19:12Brad told me Mike quit his job to open this dump
19:15I had to see the train wreck for myself
19:18Hi, Mom
19:19Do not call me Mom, you delusional loser
19:21You lied about being a partner
19:23You were just a glorified burger flipper
19:25Emma hasn't had a single decent day since she married you
19:28And now, two tables
19:30If this place tanks, you are divorcing her immediately
19:33I warned you, Mrs. Davis
19:38The guy's bottom of the carriage
19:39If Emma had chosen me, she wouldn't be standing in this dump
19:47Look at me, Mike
19:48I just made VP at a top Wall Street firm
19:53Here's 50 grand in cash
19:55Take it, close this pathetic dump
19:58And sign the divorce papers
19:59Emma belongs 10 below in a penthouse
20:03Not breathing in your chief police
20:06You're just dragging her down
20:09The guilt was eating me alive
20:11None of them remembered I was the poorest kid in our class
20:15After my dad died
20:16My mom's medical bills wiped us out
20:19I spent my 20s juggling hospitals and dead-end jobs
20:22Just to keep us afloat
20:23I didn't have the luxury to build a career
20:26But the world doesn't care about your struggles
20:29In this life, success is the only thing that talks
20:51Keep your filthy money, Brad
20:55I chose Mike
20:56And I don't regret a single second of it
21:00This is none of your damn business
21:05Emma, have you lost your mind?
21:08He's dragging you into the gutter
21:12Stop it, Mom
21:13I am absolutely not divorcing him
21:19I believe in Mike
21:22With his talent
21:23He's going to build a restaurant empire
21:26Just watch us
21:30Here you go, guys
21:31Enjoy
21:35Chef, this burger is unreal
21:37Puts that chain garbage to shame
21:39Fresh beef, killer sauce
21:40We'll see you tomorrow
21:41Appreciate that, man
21:42Next order of signature-loaded fries is on the house
21:47Ha! Knew it
21:49I told them the joint across the street swap chefs
21:52The real talent went solo
21:54Hey, good to see you
21:56Grab a seat
21:57Took some friends to the old spot yesterday
22:00And it tasted like garbage
22:03Figured you must have walked
22:06Finally, a real burger
22:09The usual?
22:10The usual?
22:12You actually remember
22:17Of course
22:18Double patty
22:19No pickles
22:20Extra secret grilled onions
22:26I'll throw in a couple of new specialties on the house
22:33You're the man
22:41Don't let the size fool you
22:43This kid's the real deal
22:44Just wonder why he suddenly jumped ship
22:59Hey, boss
23:00This tastes completely off
23:03Did you lose your chef?
23:07Uh, yeah
23:09I had to let him go
23:13Are you crazy?
23:16The guy was a wizard in the kitchen
23:18Why would you fire him?
23:23This is literally inedible
23:25Hey
23:26I just saw the old chef's new spot right across the street
23:31Mike Donald
23:34Let's get a refund and go there
23:36I'm in
23:37Let's go
23:38Wait, don't go there
23:40The guy's a scam artist
23:41He uses expired scrap meat
23:44Uh
23:45You'll get food poisoning
23:49I drove 40 miles for his secret sauce
23:53This crap you serve is an insult
23:55Move!
24:15I pay you to cook
24:16Not stare at your phone
24:17The place is dead
24:19What do you expect me to do?
24:22Watch your mouth
24:24I'm Chloe's brother
24:25I'm only in this dump because you begged me
24:29Plus your grill is trash
24:35Look at this mess
24:37You burned everything
24:39Half the dining room already walked out and demanded refunds
24:43I'm paying you the exact same rate as Mike
24:46Are you blind to the garbage you're serving?
24:49Every minimum wage joint in LA gives you a prep cook
24:51I'm doing two jobs for peanuts
24:54No idea how Mike put up with your BS
24:57If I get you a prep cook
24:58Can you actually replicate Mike's flavor?
25:00Wake up Chad
25:01Everyone knows Mike's recipes are God's days
25:04It's pure talent
25:05He built that sauce from scratch
25:07If I had his chops
25:08You think I'd be flipping burgers in your dump?
25:18Mike, you backstabbing snake
25:20I will end you
25:22Thanks to Mike's killer recipe
25:24And pure hustle
25:26Word spread like wildfire
25:28Even Emma's snobby mother did a complete 180
25:32Trading her attitude for an apron
25:37Business is insane
25:38The lunch rush is over and we're still packed
25:41We need Waitmans now
25:44Babe, are you sure?
25:45Good help in LA isn't cheap
25:47You're the boss, Mike
25:49Your call
25:53Let's do it
25:56You and mom are dead on your feet
25:58And you still have to pick up Lily
26:00Honey, this place is just the beginning
26:03With your talent and integrity
26:07You're destined for the big leagues
26:09You're going to build an empire
26:21Chef Mike
26:22Lines around the block out there
26:24Got room for us?
26:25For you?
26:26Always
26:27Save the best booth for you
26:31Perfect
26:31Hit us with the works today
26:33Double patties
26:34Secret sauce
26:35Load them up
26:43By the way
26:44Your ex-partner is running a smear campaign online
26:48Paying bots to say you stole his recipe
26:53You buy that?
26:55I read people for a living
26:56I trust a chef who puts this much heart into his craft
27:03Why aren't you fighting back, though?
27:05With that level of slander
27:08You could easily sue for defamation
27:10Not worth the legal fees
27:12Let the haters hate
27:14The burgers speak for themselves
27:18Karma never misses
27:34Keep grinding, son
27:37Don't see many young guys
27:39With your kind of integrity these days
27:44Appreciate it, sir
