00:00Frank, I remember the restaurant made a solid $250,000 in net profit this year.
00:05Are you telling me my share is only $7,000?
00:09This is my place, and I put up the capital.
00:12People come here to eat or to eat at my restaurant.
00:14You're just the cook.
00:15$7,000 is more than fair.
00:18But the smoked pork recipe was passed down from my grandfather.
00:21I've been running the kitchen by myself from start to finish.
00:24And that new chef you just hired?
00:26He's pulling down $70,000 a year!
00:28Enough!
00:29Smoked pork is everywhere.
00:30You think it's special?
00:31I gave you a great platform.
00:33Don't get too full of yourself.
00:34You're almost 40.
00:35How can you compare yourself to that young guy?
00:37He graduated from a real culinary school.
00:39He turns out creative dishes left and right way better than your old tired family recipes.
00:43I'm sure he could do a lot better than you.
00:48Robert, please help me.
00:49My restaurant is about to go under.
00:51I know you have that smoked pork recipe, and I know how good a cook you are.
00:55Will you come be my head chef?
00:57I'll give you shares.
00:57When we make money, you get a cut.
01:00I'm begging you, please!
01:03All right.
01:04I'm in.
01:07That's amazing, buddy.
01:08I don't even know how to thank you.
01:10Am I wrong, Robert?
01:11Look around this restaurant.
01:12The bowls, the cups, the plates, they're all mine.
01:14What have you done besides cook?
01:15Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you'd still be stuck in that little dump of a diner scraping by.
01:19Don't feel sorry for yourself.
01:20With your skills, I could find a cook in any diner in Queens for $2,000 a month.
01:23I give you room and board and a $7,000 bonus.
01:26You should be grateful.
01:27I should be grateful.
01:30Great.
01:31Just great.
01:49Robert, you see the pipe's busted?
01:51Call someone to fix it.
01:52Front the repair cost and I'll pay you back later.
01:54Front it again?
01:54You still haven't paid me back for the propane gas last time.
01:59All right, all right.
02:00It's no big deal.
02:01We're brothers.
02:01We'll settle it all later.
02:02I've got things to do.
02:03Just go handle it.
02:10Sir, the pipe is fixed.
02:14Great.
02:15Thank you so much.
02:21Robert, we're short on the smoked ingredients.
02:23Get to the wholesale market early and buy them.
02:25Must be fresh.
02:26The customers are waiting.
02:29Ginger, the customers are waiting.
02:35Gold.
02:38Gold.
02:40Gold.
02:44Gold.
02:48Gold.
02:51Gold.
02:53Gold.
02:55Gold.
02:56Gold.
02:59Robert, I remember everything you've done for me.
03:02We grew up together.
03:03Over 30 years of friendship.
03:05I would never treat you unfairly.
03:08Don't worry.
03:09Once the money comes in, we'll split it 50-50.
03:15Frank, I've been doing the work of three people.
03:18365 days a year, no days off.
03:21Shopping for ingredients, prepping the food, doing all the cooking myself.
03:24I stayed up late, night after night, working on the smoked dishes, sleeping less than four hours a day.
03:30On Christmas Day, I had just gotten home and was about to sit down to Christmas dinner with my wife
03:33and kids when you called.
03:34You said you'd taken a last-minute order for a family gathering and told me to get back to the
03:38restaurant immediately.
03:39I drove three hours to get there, worked all night, and after cleaning up the kitchen, it was already 2
03:43a.m.
03:43I didn't even get a chance to say Merry Christmas to my kids.
03:46But you? You went home to your family hours ago.
03:48Last month, you took an order for a thousand smoked gift boxes.
03:52You said the client needed them urgently.
03:53I worked around the clock for three days and three nights without a single wink of sleep.
03:57I almost killed myself.
03:59Frank, after everything I gave this year, I'm worth $7,000?
04:04Robert, we grew up together.
04:06Talking about money like this is bad for our relationship.
04:09I rescued you from that little dump of a diner and made you a partner in my restaurant.
04:14You should be grateful to me.
04:15My old diner wasn't much, but I was clearing $100,000 a year.
04:18Coming here sounds fancy, restaurant partner, but I'm working a hundred times harder.
04:23All the grunt work, all the dirty jobs, they're mine.
04:25$7,000 is my share and he thinks I should be grateful?
04:28Alright, alright, why draw such a clear line between us?
04:30It's not like the restaurant is shutting down.
04:32Next year, I'll give you a bigger cut, I promise.
04:35It's almost Independence Day.
04:36We're having a get-together with the guys tonight.
04:38You go prepare properly.
04:39Don't embarrass me.
04:40On Independence Day, a tour group has a reservation to eat at the restaurant.
04:44300 people.
04:46The client also ordered a thousand smoked gift boxes.
04:50You need to have them ready ahead of time.
04:53Got it.
04:55I already took a $30,000 deposit.
04:58If I default, I'll have to pay triple.
05:00Don't screw me over on this.
05:08I can't even bring myself to call Diana.
05:11I can't tell her that after a whole year of hoping, our share is only $7,000.
05:17I barely spent any time with her this year.
05:20All my energy went into the restaurant.
05:22And now, $7,000.
05:25365 days?
05:27That's less than $20 a day.
05:29Some partner I am.
05:31Cheap labor.
05:39Robert, what is this $7,000 deposit that just hit our account?
05:44That's my share.
05:46You're joking, right?
05:47Frank said the restaurant cleared $250,000 this year.
05:50He gave you $7,000?
05:52He said the place is his, and he put up the capital.
05:54I'm just a worker.
05:55$7,000 is already pretty good.
06:12A worker?
06:13I told you not to go in with him.
06:15You worked yourself to the bone every day, and after all that, this is what you get?
06:18You could walk into any diner in Queens as a cook and make $80,000 a year.
06:22What are you even doing this for?
06:25So are you going to keep running this restaurant with him?
06:30I haven't decided yet.
06:32Robert, I respect whatever you decide.
06:35But remember this.
06:37It doesn't matter how much money it is.
06:39You live by your craft.
06:41Your recipe, your skills, they deserve respect.
06:44They deserve better.
06:48I know.
06:49Thank you, Diana.
06:56Robert?
06:57He thinks he deserves to sit at the same table with us?
07:05I give him good food and a place to stay, and he still thinks $7,000 is too little?
07:11The guy doesn't even have a real chef certification, and he dares to compare himself to the new chef I
07:17hired?
07:18I'm the only one who would even employ him.
07:20I open the restaurant.
07:21I put up the money.
07:22I'm the boss.
07:23He's just a cook, and he thinks he deserves to split the profits 50-50 with me?
07:27He has no idea what it means to be an employee.
07:31Right?
07:31The nerve of that guy.
07:33Robert just doesn't know his place.
07:35Frank, you're a big shot now.
07:37He's just a lousy cook with no sense of boundaries.
07:40Later, we'll knock him down a peg.
07:42Let him know who's the boss and who's the hired help.
07:4730 years of friendship.
07:48Growing up together.
07:49And in their eyes, it's worth nothing.
07:51I'm not his brother.
07:52I'm just a lousy hired cook with no gratitude, no sense of boundaries, and no idea of my place.
07:57What is that $7,000, really?
07:59A bonus?
07:59Wages?
08:00Or just charity he threw at me?
08:05Robert, it smells delicious.
08:06You worked hard cooking all that food.
08:08Sit down.
08:10That's what he's paid for.
08:11What's so hard about it?
08:13Frank, I think you're being too nice to him.
08:15This is a get-together for us.
08:17He's a cook.
08:18What's he doing at the table?
08:19Exactly.
08:20Robert, I heard you got $7,000.
08:23Frank's been more than good to you.
08:24The job market is terrible right now.
08:26You're lucky to have work at all, and he's giving you room and board on top of that.
08:30You should be grateful.
08:31Go on, toast him.
08:34Frank, let me toast you.
08:36Robert, don't you know any manners?
08:38Who do you think you're calling Frank?
08:40That's your boss.
08:40The man who puts food on your table.
08:42Back in the day, you'd have to kneel to toast him.
08:46Robert, don't take it personally.
08:47We're all friends here.
08:49Just joking around.
08:49No harm meant.
08:53It's fine.
08:55I don't mind.
08:56Because it's not worth it.
08:58Robert, remember this.
09:00What's mine is yours.
09:01Whatever I have, you'll have too.
09:03We're on the same side.
09:04Always.
09:06The Independence Day customers and the smoked gift boxes.
09:09I'm counting on you.
09:11Stick with me.
09:11Work hard.
09:12And I won't let you down.
09:14Frank, you're right about everything.
09:17Independence Day customers?
09:19A thousand smoked gift boxes?
09:21To hell with all of them.
09:23My restaurant's chef costs over $200,000 a year in salary.
09:26That's more than I make in a year.
09:28Not like Frank's place where you're the only cook.
09:30He saves a fortune.
09:31My daughter bought me tickets to Europe for Independence Day.
09:34I'm in a hurry to sell.
09:35I'll give you a break.
09:36With the transfer fee, it's $90,000 total.
09:38$90,000.
09:39For this location, for a restaurant this size, that's already a steal.
09:43But I still don't have enough.
09:44Tell you what.
09:45I own this building.
09:46The rent is $80,000 a year.
09:48You can pay for the first three months now and cover the remaining nine months later.
09:51I'll leave you the renovation and the equipment.
09:54No extra charge.
09:55Three months' rent comes to $20,000.
09:58Okay.
09:59Let me go think it over.
10:00I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
10:13Diana, there's something I want to talk to you about.
10:21Robert, hold on.
10:26That's all we have at home.
10:28I'll ask my parents, too.
10:30Don't worry.
10:31If we really can't do it any other way, we'll get a bank loan.
10:34I believe in your cooking.
10:35And I believe you'll make this work.
10:37Honey, what if I lose all this money?
10:41Then we lose it.
10:42I'll be right here with you.
10:44Worst comes to worst, we start over from nothing.
10:47Don't worry.
10:48Mom and bad are here for you.
10:50Go for it with confidence.
10:52We're both behind you.
10:53Your grandfather's recipe should be wasted like this.
10:56Let gun more people taste it.
10:58Live your own life.
11:01Mom told me about your situation.
11:03I just transferred $20,000 to you.
11:06Take it.
11:07If that's not enough, I'll talk to my wife and see what else we can do.
11:11Thank you, Eli.
11:16Robert, I know you're a hard worker.
11:19And I've had your smoked pork.
11:20It's delicious.
11:22But this is $90,000.
11:24That's not a small amount of money.
11:26Have you really thought this through?
11:28Mrs. Taylor, I have.
11:29I believe in my cooking.
11:31And I believe that in less than a year, I'll make back every cent and do even better than Frank.
11:35Let's sign the contract.
11:37And please, Mrs. Taylor, keep this between us for now.
11:39Okay.
11:40I don't want Frank to know.
11:43All right.
11:45Then here's to your success.
11:58Robert, were you just across the street at that restaurant?
12:01What, you thinking of opening your own place?
12:10Where would I get the money, Frank?
12:14I was just taking a look.
12:15I heard that place just got renovated, so I went to check it out.
12:19Right.
12:19You're broke.
12:20Without me, you wouldn't even have food on the table.
12:22Robert, we've made some money now.
12:23I'm planning to go back to Brooklyn and have a meal with the old neighbors.
12:26You're coming with me.
12:27Bring your parents and your wife.
12:28One more thing.
12:28I told them I gave you a $30,000 share.
12:31Don't let it slip when we're there.
12:32You don't want people laughing at you.
12:34And you don't want them saying I treated you unfairly.
12:36$30,000?
12:38I'm doing this for your own good.
12:39You worked a whole year and only took home seven grand.
12:41If people find out, they'll laugh at you.
12:43And they'll call me cheap.
12:44Just do what I say and don't make trouble for me.
12:46Laugh at me?
12:47Isn't he the first one laughing at me?
12:49He's going back to show off and he's going to do it on my back.
12:51He wants me to stand in front of the whole neighborhood and admit I'm nothing but a parasite living off
12:56my brother's charity.
12:57He gives me $7,000 but tells everyone it's $30,000.
13:00He wants to play the good guy while squeezing me dry.
13:04Since when does anyone get to have it both ways?
13:07Fine.
13:07Whatever you say.
13:08He wants face.
13:09He wants to show off in front of the neighbors.
13:11Fine.
13:11I'll give him all the face he wants.
13:18Oh my.
13:19Isn't this Robert?
13:21I heard you became a partner at Frank's Restaurant and made $30,000 this year.
13:24That's so much better than when you had your own little place.
13:27What do you know?
13:27Frank only gave Robert that much because they grew up together.
13:29For real.
13:30With his cooking skills, he'd be lucky to make $10,000 a year.
13:33Getting $30,000 from Frank?
13:34That's Frank being generous.
13:35Yeah, Robert.
13:36You'd better be grateful to Frank.
13:37A debt like that, you'd better remember it.
13:39Without Frank, you'd still be stuck in that little diner begging for scraps.
13:43Why does he have to give Robert $30,000?
13:45Frank gives him room and board, feeds him for free, and the guy still isn't satisfied.
13:50Unbelievable.
13:50This isn't finding a partner.
13:52This is taking in a damn ancestor.
13:54Robert, this is where you're wrong.
13:55If you're an employee, act like an employee.
13:58Frank is the boss.
13:59You're the work.
14:00Know your place.
14:00Don't be so greedy.
14:02Frank's money didn't fall out of the sky.
14:04What he should he feed you for free and hand you $30,000?
14:06If were me, I would have kicked you out a long time ago.
14:09Robert, you need to face reality.
14:11Some people are born to be the boss, like my son.
14:13And some people are born to work, like you.
14:15You need to accept your lot in life.
14:17Stop dreaming of rising above your station and standing shoulder to shoulder with my son.
14:20My son gave you $30,000.
14:22That's no small amount of money.
14:23On Independence Day, bring your parents and your wife to help out at my son's restaurant.
14:26Don't even think about sitting at home doing nothing.
14:28You'd better show some gratitude for my son's generosity.
14:37One last time.
14:39From now on, I'm done with Frank and these money-grobbing neighbors.
14:43Robert, don't take those people seriously.
14:45They're just jealous of how close we are.
14:47Jealous that you get to make money with me.
14:48But my mom does have a point.
14:50Your parents and your wife don't have much going on at home.
14:52Independence Day is going to be crazy busy at the restaurant.
14:54Your wife can cook too.
14:55Have them all come help out.
14:56Extra hands put my mind at ease.
14:58Didn't you just hire a new chef?
14:59My wife needs to take care of our kids.
15:00My parents are older.
15:01They don't have the time.
15:02That kid is useless.
15:03He can't tell salt from sugar.
15:04He's just for show.
15:05Your whole family can cook.
15:06Having you all there makes me feel better.
15:08Besides, I can give you $30,000.
15:09You guys helping out a little is the least you can do.
15:12Look, that's not happening.
15:13I'm not going to let you do that.
15:15It's settled.
15:17When you go back this time, bring them all with you.
15:19I'm counting on you for the Independence Day customers and the smoke gift boxes.
15:23Don't let me down.
15:29Robert, I'm coming back to Queens tomorrow.
15:31Those thousand smoke gift boxes, they're all ready, right?
15:33Don't screw this up.
15:34I took a $30,000 deposit from the client.
15:36If I default, I'm done.
15:37Yeah, I know.
15:40Long time no see, my friend.
15:42Come to Queens tomorrow.
15:43The grand opening of my restaurant.
15:50Robert, did the restaurant across the street get a new owner?
15:52Who's running it now?
15:53Hurry up and get back here.
15:54The guests are about to arrive.
15:56What's taking you so long?
15:58Frank, the owner of this restaurant is me.
16:00Robert, what kind of nonsense is that?
16:02How could you possibly be the owner of that restaurant?
16:05Where would you even get the money?
16:07Stop standing around Goldbring and get back in the kitchen.
16:10The guests will be here any minute.
16:18What are you all dressed up for?
16:20Go inside and change.
16:21Then get to the kitchen.
16:22Don't mess up my business.
16:28Frank, so you opened another restaurant.
16:30No wonder you didn't tell us.
16:31Were you trying to surprise us?
16:33Frank, you must have made a fortune this year.
16:35Opening a place like that must cost at least $200,000.
16:37You've really got the chops.
16:39Robert, you clean up nice in that suit.
16:41I'll give you that.
16:42Too bad you're just a cook.
16:43Put you in a suit and you still don't look like a boss.
16:46Enough with the chatter.
16:48Robert, go change and get cooking.
16:50If you screw up my business, I won't let it slide.
16:56Frank, I'm not cooking for you today.
16:59Not cooking for me?
17:01Then who are you cooking for?
17:02Over there.
17:05You jumped ship?
17:07Robert, after 30 years together, you leave without saying a word?
17:10You have no conscience.
17:12Have you forgotten who gave you a hand?
17:14Who gave you a chance?
17:16I didn't jump ship.
17:17Then what are you doing?
17:18Oh, I get it.
17:19You're trying to blackmail me.
17:20Hold me hostage for a raise?
17:22Is that it?
17:22Robert, I've already paid you more than enough.
17:24Still not satisfied?
17:25You're too damn greedy.
17:26Yeah, Robert, this is too much.
17:28Frank has been more than good to you.
17:29He gave you room and board, gave you a $30,000 share, and this is how you repay him?
17:37Exactly.
17:38You ungrateful wretch.
17:40Frank pulled you out of the gutter when you had nothing.
17:43And this is when you abandon him?
17:45You think my son's restaurant can't run without you?
17:53Weren't you all just saying I was taking $30,000 for doing nothing?
17:56Weren't you saying the new chef is a hundred times better than me?
18:01So I'm leaving.
18:03What's the rush?
18:04Robert, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?
18:06I promised.
18:07I promised we'd split the profit 50-50, but you know how it is.
18:11My restaurant costs $80,000 a year just in rent.
18:14Then there's labor, utilities, ingredients.
18:17If I really went 50-50 with you, I'd have to borrow money just to get by.
18:20You've got to see things from my side too.
18:22Look, after Independence Day, I'll find a way to scrape together some more cash and give you a bigger share.
18:27At least $60,000.
18:28Deal?
18:29Stop making a scene and come help.
18:31Don't mess up the real business here.
18:32Frank, did you actually give me $30,000?
18:35Robert, what are you trying to do?
18:43What?
18:43He only gave him $7,000?
18:45That's way too little.
18:46Right.
18:47I heard Robert came in with his family recipe.
18:50Frank's place was about to go under before Robert showed up.
18:52That's when business turned around.
18:54Even if Robert's not a partner, just a cook, he still should have gotten more than that.
18:58Then why did Frank say he gave him $30,000 and Robert didn't deny it earlier?
19:03Something's not right here.
19:04Is Frank lying?
19:07No, he's not.
19:08Frank gave him $30,000.
19:11For all you know, Robert blew it all himself and this $7,000 is all that's left.
19:14Maybe he lost it, Gam, spent it all, and now he's trying to squeeze my son.
19:19That's possible.
19:19Maybe he really did blow through the money and now he's trying to blame Frank.
19:22Good thing Frank cleared that up.
19:24Otherwise, what an injustice that would be, blaming Frank for something like this.
19:29Robert, how did you end up like this?
19:31All right, enough.
19:32You've had your little tantrum.
19:34I'm not going to hold it against you.
19:35Now get back in there and job.
19:38Don't mess up my business because you can't afford the consequences.
19:44Not so fast.
19:46Let's get this straight.
19:47If this deposit record doesn't prove anything, then let's try something else.
19:56This is my place, and I put up the capital.
19:59People come here to eat at my restaurant.
20:01You're just the cook.
20:02Seven grand is more than fair.
20:05Oh my God, he really only gave him $7,000?
20:09Frank used the friendship as an excuse, tricked Robert out of his secret recipe,
20:12worked him like a dog, and then handed him seven grand?
20:15That is way out of line.
20:17Yeah, if I were him, I'd jump ship too.
20:19Open my own place, make money with my own skills.
20:21Better than being treated like an idiot.
20:23No, Robert.
20:24You know damn well why I only gave you $7,000.
20:26You've been lazing around my restaurant every day not doing a thing.
20:29I fed you, housed you, and still gave you seven grand.
20:32That's more than generous.
20:33You can't be this ungrateful.
20:35Fine.
20:36I'll make you eat your words.
20:38See that?
20:39This is what you call not doing a thing.
20:42From six in the morning till three the next morning, I didn't stop for a second.
20:46And those 15 smoked dishes, I made every single one of them myself.
20:50My wrist is still swollen.
20:52You want to tell me I didn't work?
20:53Frank, you came to me.
20:54You said your restaurant was about to fail.
20:57You begged me to bring my grandfather's smoked meat recipe and invest it in your place.
21:01You asked me to be your chef.
21:02You promised we'd split the profits 50-50.
21:04Out of loyalty to the friendship we'd had since we were kids, I closed my own restaurant
21:08and killed myself working for you.
21:10This past year, I fronted you over $2,000 for repairs and ingredients.
21:13I never even asked for it back because I believed you when you said you wouldn't treat me unfairly.
21:18But when it came time for the payout, what did you say?
21:20You said I was just a lousy cook with no right to split the profits with you.
21:24You went around lying to the neighbors.
21:26And then you wanted my parents and my wife to come work for you for nothing.
21:30Frank, and you're calling me ungrateful?
21:32Frank, this is just too much.
21:33You made a fortune off someone else's recipe, treated him like a mule and gave him seven
21:38grand.
21:38Doesn't that money burn a hole in your pocket?
21:40You're going to pay the man a real wage or buy his recipe outright.
21:43$7,000, that's just exploitation.
21:45And you have the nerve to call him ungrateful?
21:48You're the ungrateful one here.
21:50Robert, can we talk about this later?
21:52I really need you right now.
21:53Stop making a scene.
21:54I promise I'll give you a raise.
21:56$30,000.
21:57No, $50,000.
21:58That's fair, isn't it?
21:59Now please, just get back to the kitchen.
22:01Don't mess up the guest's meal.
22:04Keep your $50,000.
22:06From now on, we each go our own way.
22:08We owe each other nothing.
22:10Robert, you can't leave.
22:12The guests are about to arrive.
22:13If you walk out, who's going to cook for me?
22:15And what about those thousand smoke gift boxes?
22:17Did you make them?
22:19You didn't make them, did you?
22:21Robert, are you trying to ruin me?
22:22I took a $30,000 deposit from the client.
22:25If I default, I have to pay triple.
22:29Who am I to you?
22:31Why should I cook for you?
22:32Why should I make your gift boxes?
22:34You're my partner.
22:35I gave you a share.
22:37A share?
22:37Are you talking about that $7,000?
22:40The wages you said I, a useless cook, deserved?
22:43Frank, we have no contract.
22:45No agreement.
22:46That partnership yours was nothing but empty words.
22:49The moment you threw that $7,000 in my face, whatever there was between us was over.
22:55Robert, just tell me how much you want.
22:57Whatever Susan can give you, I can give you too.
22:59We've known each other for 30 years.
23:01You can't pick her.
23:02You can't betray me.
23:10I'm not picking anyone, because I'm the owner of this restaurant.
23:21Frank, we're all here.
23:23Serve the meal in half an hour.
23:24We need to get to the attractions after we cheer, so don't waste any time.
23:27I'm really sorry.
23:29Today, today the chef isn't here.
23:31I can't serve the meal.
23:33What did you just say?
23:33Are you joking with me?
23:35I booked this a month in advance, specifically for your smoked dishes.
23:38Now my people are all here, and you're telling me the chef isn't here?
23:40I'm really, really sorry.
23:41Why don't you take everyone to another restaurant?
23:43I'll apologize.
23:44I'll compensate.
23:44Today is Independence Day.
23:46Tourists are everywhere.
23:47Where am I supposed to find a restaurant to seat 300 people?
23:50I don't care what your problem is.
23:51We had an agreement, and we're sticking to it.
23:54We're not going anywhere else.
23:55We're eating right here at your place.
23:57Noah, hurry.
23:58Get to the kitchen and start prepping.
24:00Lunch for 300 people.
24:01It needs to be ready in half an hour.
24:02Boss, I can't do it.
24:03I can't handle a crowd this big.
24:05And besides, there's not even enough ingredients in the kitchen right now.
24:07No ingredients?
24:08We run a restaurant, and you're telling me there are no ingredients?
24:10What kind of chef are you?
24:11Boss, there's nothing I can do.
24:12Robert always handled all the purchasing and prep.
24:14I never had to deal with any of that.
24:16Robert!
24:16You did this on purpose!
24:18You're trying to destroy me!
24:20Frank, since the chef isn't here, does that mean the thousand smoked gift boxes I ordered
24:24aren't ready either?
24:25Where do you think you're going?
24:27Frank, tell me the truth.
24:28Did you make those thousand gift boxes or not?
24:30I'm so sorry.
24:32The chef who does the smoking, he called in sick these past couple of days.
24:35Give me a few more days.
24:37Give me your address.
24:37I promise I'll mail them to you.
24:40Mail them?
24:41300 people, 300 different addresses?
24:43Are you joking with me?
24:44Do you have any idea how important this tour group is to me?
24:46These are all key clients.
24:47The only reason I chose your restaurant was because of your smoked dishes.
24:50You think I would have picked you otherwise?
24:51I paid you a $30,000 deposit for those thousand gift boxes.
24:54If you can't deliver them, according to our agreement, you owe me triple.
24:57That's $90,000 right now.
24:58And on top of that, you need to find us a place to eat immediately.
25:01Otherwise, I'm calling the police and reporting you for fraud.
25:03I'll make sure this restaurant of yours never opens again.
25:07$90,000.
25:09Robert, my good brother, think of our 30 years of friendship.
25:12Help me out.
25:12I'll pay you more.
25:13$50,000.
25:14No, $100,000.
25:15Please, just help me this one time.
25:17No need.
25:18Without you, I can make a lot more than that.
25:22Well, if it isn't Robert, Frank just said you were sick, but I knew that couldn't be right.
25:27You're tough as nails.
25:28Every time I come here, I see you working your tail off.
25:30Robert, you opened your own place?
25:32That's right.
25:32Grand opening today.
25:33It's about time.
25:34That friend of yours is way too cheap.
25:36A craftsman like you, working for him?
25:38Total waste of talent.
25:39Hey, Robert, does your place have room?
25:41I can't have 300 yours is going hungry.
25:43We've got plenty of room, and the smoke gift boxes are already prepared.
25:46Right this way.
25:46Good man.
25:47Reliable.
25:51You really screwed up.
25:53You drove away a good brother like this.
25:55You brought this on yourself.
25:56And let me tell you, that $90,000 penalty?
25:58Not one cent less.
25:59If you don't pay up, I'll see you in court.
26:06Robert, you unfastard!
26:08My son gave you so much money, and you betray him like this?
26:12How can you be so cruel?
26:18Still trying to sling mud?
26:19Didn't you say Robert did nothing around here?
26:21Funny how without Robert, your son of son is about to lose $90,000.
26:26Exactly.
26:26Wouldn't the friend who broke his back for him, and now he's got to pay it all out in damages.
26:30Serves him right.
26:42This is amazing.
26:44The smoke flavor is so authentic.
26:46I've never had smoked dishes this good anywhere.
26:49Truly incredible.
26:50All 15 smoked dishes are delicious.
26:54We'll definitely be coming back.
26:56You're always welcome.
27:27Net profit is $35,000.
27:29This is what my craft is worth.
27:31This is what I earned.
27:32You have to try Robert's smoke dishes.
27:34His craft is absolutely top-notch.
27:37William turned out to be incredibly helpful.
27:39Everywhere he went after that, he never forgot to spread the word about my restaurant.
27:43Add to that the buzz from what happened on opening day, and my place became famous.
27:47In the days that followed, we were packed every single day.
27:49Tables were impossible to come by.
27:51Takeout orders were non-stop.
27:52I had to hire three more people just to keep up with demand.
27:57No, you can't leave.
27:58Mr. Carter, your restaurant doesn't have any customers.
28:01There's no future for me here.
28:02It's hurting my reputation.
28:04I have to go.
28:14Frank?
28:19I'm sorry, Robert.
28:20That apology was a year overdue.
28:23By now, it means nothing.
28:25Was that Robert?
28:27Yeah, Dad.
28:28It was him.
28:29He looked at me like I was a stranger.
28:32Frank, do you know where you went wrong?
28:33You went wrong when you treated Robert like a fool.
28:36But he's not a fool.
28:37He knew exactly what was going on the whole time.
28:39You shouldn't have given him only $7,000 while lying to all of us, saying it was $30,000.
28:43And you shouldn't have made a fortune off his recipe while working him like an animal and breaking his heart.
28:47Frank, you did this to yourself.
28:52My restaurant is still packed every day.
28:54I didn't let my grandfather's recipe down.
28:56I didn't let my craft down.
28:57And I didn't let my family's trust and support down.
29:00As for Frank, his fate is exactly what he brought upon himself.
29:03As for me, I'll keep moving forward with my craft and my family toward a better future.
