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.
00:17But 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.
00:32Don't get too full of yourself.
00:34You're almost 40.
00:35How can you compare yourself to that young guy?
00:36He graduated from a real culinary school.
00:38He turns out creative dishes left and right way better than your old tired family recipes.
00:42I'm sure he could do a lot better than you.
00:47Robert, 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?
00:56I'll give you shares.
00:57When we make money, you get a cut.
00:59I'm begging you, please!
01:02All right.
01:04I'm in.
01:06That'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.
01:48Robert, you see the pipe's busted?
01:50Call someone to fix it.
01:51Front the repair cost and I'll pay you back later.
01:53Front it again?
01:54You still haven't paid me back for the propane gas last time.
01:58All right, all right.
01:59It's no big deal.
02:00We'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.
02:14Thank you so much.
02:21Robert, we're short on the smoked ingredients.
02:23Get to the wholesale market early and buy them.
02:24Must be fresh.
02:25The customers are waiting.
02:28Come on.
02:58Robert, I remember everything you've done for me. We grew up together. Over 30 years of
03:04friendship. I would never treat you unfairly. Don't worry. Once the money comes in, we'll split
03:10it 50-50. Frank, I've been doing the work of three people. 365 days a year, no days off.
03:20Shopping for ingredients, prepping the food, doing all the cooking myself. I stayed up late,
03:25night after night, working on the smoked dishes, sleeping less than four hours a day.
03:29On Christmas Day, I had just gotten home and was about to sit down to Christmas dinner with my
03:32wife and kids when you called. You said you'd taken a last-minute order for a family gathering
03:36and told me to get back to the restaurant immediately. I drove three hours to get there,
03:40worked all night, and after cleaning up the kitchen, it was already 2 a.m. I didn't even
03:43get a chance to say Merry Christmas to my kids. But you? You went home to your family hours ago.
03:48Last month, you took an order for a thousand smoked gift boxes. You said the client needed
03:52them urgently. I worked around the clock for three days and three nights without a single
03:56wink of sleep. I almost killed myself. Frank, after everything I gave this year,
03:59I'm worth $7,000? Robert, we grew up together. Talking about money like this is bad for our
04:07relationship. I rescued you from that little dump of a diner and made you a partner in my
04:12restaurant. You should be grateful to me. My old diner wasn't much, but I was clearing
04:17$100,000 a year. Coming here sounds fancy, restaurant partner, but I'm working 100 times harder.
04:22All the grunt work, all the dirty jobs, they're mine. $7,000 is my share and he thinks I should
04:26be grateful? All right, all right, why draw such a clear line between us? It's not like
04:30the restaurant is shutting down. Next year, I'll give you a bigger cut, I promise. It's
04:34almost Independence Day. We're having a get-together with the guys tonight. You go prepare properly.
04:38Don't embarrass me. On Independence Day, a tour group has a reservation to eat at the restaurant.
04:44300 people. The client also ordered a thousand smoked gift boxes. You need to have them ready
04:50ahead of time. Got it. I already took a $30,000 deposit. If I default, I'll have to pay triple.
04:59Don't screw me over on this.
05:08I can't even bring myself to call Diana. I can't tell her that after a whole year of
05:13hoping, our share is only $7,000. I barely spent any time with her this year. All my energy went
05:20into
05:20the restaurant. And now, $7,000. 365 days? That's less than 20 bucks a day. Some partner I am. Cheap
05:30labor.
05:38Robert, what is this $7,000 default or deposit that just hit our account?
05:43That's my share.
05:45You're joking, right? Frank said the restaurant cleared $250,000 this year. He gave you $7,000?
05:51He said the place is his, and he put up the capital. I'm just a worker. $7,000 is already
05:56pretty good. A worker? I told you not to go in with him. You worked yourself to the bone every
06:00day, and after all that, this is what you get? You could walk into any diner in Queens as a
06:04cook
06:04and make $80,000 a year. What are you even doing this for?
06:09So are you going to keep running this restaurant with him?
06:14I haven't decided yet.
06:16Robert, I respect whatever you decide. But remember this. It doesn't matter how much money it is.
06:22You live by your craft. Your recipe, your skills, they deserve respect. They deserve better.
06:31I know. Thank you, Diana.
06:40Robert? He thinks he deserves to sit at the same table with us?
06:49I give him good food and a place to stay, and he still thinks $7,000 is too little?
06:54The guy doesn't even have a real chef certification, and he dares to compare himself to the new chef I
07:01hired?
07:01I'm the only one who would even employ him.
07:03I opened the restaurant. I put up the money. I'm the boss.
07:07He's just a cook, and he thinks he deserves to split the profits 50-50 with me?
07:11He has no idea what it means to be an employee. Right? The nerve of that guy.
07:16Robert just doesn't know his place.
07:18Frank, you're a big shot now. He's just a lousy cook with no sense of boundaries.
07:23Later, we'll knock him down a peg. Let him know who's the boss and who's the hired help.
07:3030 years of friendship. Growing up together. And in their eyes, it's worth nothing.
07:34I'm not his brother. I'm just a lousy hired cook with no gratitude, no sense of boundaries, and no idea
07:39of my place.
07:40What is that $7,000, really? A bonus? Wages? Or just charity he threw at me?
07:48Robert, it smells delicious. You worked hard cooking all that food. Sit down.
07:53That's what he's paid for. What's so hard about it?
07:55Frank, I think you're being too nice to him. This is a get-together for us. He's a cook.
08:01What's he doing at the table?
08:02Exactly. Robert, I heard you got $7,000. Frank's been more than good to you. The job market is terrible
08:09right now.
08:09You're lucky to have work at all, and he's giving you room and board on top of that.
08:13You should be grateful. Go on, toast him.
08:17Frank, let me toast you.
08:19Robert, don't you know any manners?
08:21Who do you think you're calling Frank? That's your boss. The man who puts food on your table.
08:25Back in the day, you'd have to kneel to toast him.
08:29Robert, don't take it personally. We're all friends here. Just joking around. No harm meant.
08:37It's fine. I don't mind.
08:39Because it's not worth it.
08:41Robert, remember this. What's mine is yours. Whatever I have, you'll have too.
08:46We're on the same side. Always.
08:48Always. The Independence Day customers and the smoked gift boxes. I'm counting on you.
08:54Stick with me. Work hard, and I won't let you down.
08:57Frank, you're right about everything.
09:01Independence Day customers? A thousand smoked gift boxes? To hell with all of them.
09:06My restaurant's chef costs over $200,000 a year in salary. That's more than I make in a year.
09:11Not like Frank's place where you're the only cook. He saves a fortune.
09:14My daughter bought me tickets to Europe for Independence Day.
09:16I'm in a hurry to sell. I'll give you a break. With the transfer fee, it's $90,000 total.
09:21$90,000. For this location, for a restaurant this size, that's already a steal.
09:26But I still don't have enough.
09:27Tell you what. I own this building. The rent is $80,000 a year.
09:31You can pay for the first three months now and cover the remaining nine months later.
09:34I'll leave you the renovation and the equipment. No extra charge.
09:38Three months' rent comes to $20,000.
09:41Okay. Let me go think it over. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
09:56Diana, there's something I want to talk to you about.
10:04Robert, hold on.
10:09That's all we have at home. I'll ask my parents, too.
10:13Don't worry. If we really can't do it any other way, we'll get a bank loan.
10:16I believe in your cooking. And I believe you'll make this work.
10:20Honey, what if I lose all this money?
10:23Then we lose it. I'll be right here with you.
10:27Worst comes to worst, we start over from nothing.
10:30Don't worry. Mom and Bat are here for you. Go for it with confidence.
10:34We're both behind you. Your grandfather's recipe should be wasted like this.
10:39Let Gunmore people taste it. Live your own life.
10:44Mom told me about your situation. I just transferred $20,000 to you. Take it.
10:49If that's not enough, I'll talk to my wife and see what else we can do.
10:54Thank you, Eli.
10:59Robert, I know you're a hard worker.
11:02And I've had your smoked pork. It's delicious.
11:05But this is $90,000. That's not a small amount of money.
11:09Have you really thought this through?
11:10Mrs. Taylor, I have. I believe in my cooking.
11:13And I believe that in less than a year, I'll make back every cent and do even better than Frank.
11:18Let's sign the contract. And please, Mrs. Taylor, keep this between us for now.
11:22Okay.
11:22I don't want Frank to know.
11:26All right. Then here's to your success.
11:40Robert, were you just across the street at that restaurant?
11:44What, you thinking of opening your own place?
11:53Where would I get the money, Frank? I was just taking a look.
11:58I heard that place just got renovated, so I went to check it out.
12:01Right. You're broke. Without me, you wouldn't even have food on the table.
12:04Robert, we've made some money now. I'm planning to go back to Brooklyn and have a meal with the old
12:08neighbors.
12:08You're coming with me. Bring your parents and your wife.
12:10One more thing. I told them I gave you a $30,000 share. Don't let it slip when we're there.
12:15You don't want people laughing at you. And you don't want them saying I treated you unfairly.
12:18$30,000? I'm doing this for your own good.
12:22You worked a whole year and only took home seven grand.
12:24If people find out, they'll laugh at you. And they'll call me cheap.
12:27Just do what I say and don't make trouble for me.
12:29Laugh at me? Isn't he the first one laughing at me?
12:31He's going back to show off and he's going to do it on my back.
12:34He wants me to stand in front of the whole neighborhood and admit I'm nothing but a parasite living off
12:38my brother's charity.
12:39He gives me $7,000 but tells everyone it's $30,000.
12:43He wants to play the good guy while squeezing me dry.
12:46Since when does anyone get to have it both ways?
12:49Fine. Whatever you say.
12:51He wants face. He wants to show off in front of the neighbors. Fine. I'll give him all the face
12:55he wants.
13:01Oh my, isn't this Robert?
13:03I heard you became a partner at Frank's restaurant and made $30,000 this year.
13:07That's so much better than when you had your own little place.
13:09What do you know? Frank only gave Robert that much because they grew up together.
13:12For real, with his cooking skills, he'd be lucky to make $10,000 a year.
13:15Getting $30,000 from Frank? That's Frank being generous.
13:18Yeah, Robert, you'd better be grateful to Frank.
13:20A debt like that, you'd better remember it.
13:22Without Frank, you'd still be stuck in that little diner begging for scraps.
13:25Why does he have to give Robert $30,000?
13:28Frank gives him room and board, feeds him for free, and the guy still isn't satisfied.
13:32Unbelievable.
13:33This isn't finding a partner. This is taking in a damn ancestor.
13:36Robert, this is where you're wrong.
13:38If you're an employee, act like an employee.
13:40Frank is the boss. You're the work. Know your place. Don't be so greedy.
13:44Frank's money didn't fall out of the sky.
13:46When he should he feed you for free and hand you $30,000,
13:49if it were me, I would have kicked you out a long time ago.
13:51Robert, you need to face reality.
13:53Some people are born to be the boss, like my son.
13:56And some people are born to work, like you.
13:58You need to accept your lot in life.
13:59Stop dreaming of rising above your station and standing shoulder to shoulder with my son.
14:03My son gave you $30,000. That's no small amount of money.
14:06On Independence Day, bring your parents and your wife to help out at my son's restaurant.
14:09Don't even think about sitting at home doing nothing.
14:11You'd better show some gratitude for my son's generosity.
14:20One last time.
14:21From now on, I'm done with Frank and these money-grobbing neighbors.
14:25Robert, don't take those people seriously.
14:27They're just jealous of how close we are.
14:29Jealous that you get to make money with me.
14:31But my mom does have a point.
14:32Your parents and your wife don't have much going on at home.
14:34Independence Day is going to be crazy busy at the restaurant.
14:37Your wife can cook too.
14:38Have them all come help out.
14:39Extra hands put my mind at ease.
14:40Didn't you just hire a new chef?
14:41My wife needs to take care of our kids.
14:43My parents are older.
14:44They don't have the time.
14:45That kid is useless.
14:45He can't tell salt from sugar.
14:47He's just for show.
14:47Your whole family can cook.
14:49Having you all there makes me feel better.
14:50Besides, I gave you $30,000.
14:52You guys helping out a little is the least you can do.
14:54Look, that's not happening.
14:55I'm not going to let you do that.
14:57It's settled.
14:59When you go back this time, bring them all with you.
15:01I'm counting on you for the Independence Day customers and the smoke gift boxes.
15:05Don't let me down.
15:11Robert, I'm coming back to Queens tomorrow.
15:13Those thousand smoke gift boxes, they're all ready, right?
15:15Don't screw this up.
15:16I took a $30,000 deposit from the client.
15:18If I default, I'm done.
15:20Yeah, I know.
15:22Long time no see, my friend.
15:24Come to Queens tomorrow.
15:25The grand opening of my restaurant.
15:32Robert, did the restaurant across the street get a new owner?
15:34Who's running it now?
15:35Hurry up and get back here.
15:36The guests are about to arrive.
15:38What's taking you so long?
15:40Frank, the owner of this restaurant is me.
15:42Robert, what kind of nonsense is that?
15:44How could you possibly be the owner of that restaurant?
15:47Where would you even get the money?
15:49Stop standing around Goldbring and get back in the kitchen.
15:52The guests will be here any minute.
16:00What are you all dressed up for?
16:02Go inside and change.
16:03Then get to the kitchen.
16:04Don't mess up my business.
16:10Frank, so you opened another restaurant.
16:12No wonder you didn't tell us.
16:13Were you trying to surprise us?
16:15Frank, you must have made a fortune this year.
16:17Opening a place like that must cost at least $200,000.
16:20You've really got the chops.
16:21Robert, you clean up nice in that suit.
16:23I'll give you that.
16:24Too bad you're just a cook.
16:26Put you in a suit and you still don't look like a boss.
16:29Enough with the chatter.
16:30Robert, go change and get cooking.
16:32If you screw up my business, I won't let it slide.
16:39Frank, I'm not cooking for you today.
16:41Not cooking for me?
16:43Then who are you cooking for?
16:44Over there.
16:47You jumped ship?
16:49Robert, after 30 years together, you leave without saying a word?
16:52Robert, you have no conscience.
16:54Have you forgotten who gave you a hand?
16:56Who gave you a chance?
16:58I didn't jump ship.
16:59Then what are you doing?
17:00Oh, I get it.
17:01You're trying to blackmail me.
17:02Hold me hostage for a raise, is that it?
17:04Robert, I've already paid you more than enough.
17:06Still not satisfied?
17:07You're too damn greedy.
17:09Yeah, Robert, this is too much.
17:10Frank has been more than good to you.
17:11He gave you room and board, gave you a $30,000 share,
17:14and this is how you repay him?
17:20Exactly.
17:20You ungrateful wretch.
17:22Frank pulled you out of the gutter when you had nothing.
17:25And this is when you abandon him?
17:27You think my son's restaurant can't run without you?
17:35Weren't you all just saying I was taking $30,000 for doing nothing?
17:38Weren't you saying the new chef is 100 times better than me?
17:43So I'm leaving.
17:45What's the rush?
17:46Robert, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?
17:48I promised.
17:49I promised we'd split the profit 50-50, but you know how it is.
17:53My restaurant costs $80,000 a year just in rent.
17:56Then there's labor, utilities, ingredients.
17:59If I really went 50-50 with you, I'd have to borrow money just to get by.
18:02You've got to see things from my side, too.
18:04Look, after Independence Day, I'll find a way to scrape together some more cash
18:07and give you a bigger share.
18:08At least $60,000.
18:10Deal?
18:11Stop making a scene and come help.
18:12Don't mess up the real business here.
18:14Frank, did you actually give me $30,000?
18:17Robert, what are you trying to do?
18:25What?
18:25He only gave him $7,000?
18:27That's way too little.
18:28Right.
18:29I heard Robert came in with his family recipe.
18:31Frank's place was about to go under before Robert showed up.
18:34That's when business turned around.
18:36Even if Robert's not a partner, just a cook, he still should have gotten more than that.
18:40Then why did Frank say he gave him $30,000?
18:42And Robert didn't deny it earlier.
18:45Something's not right here.
18:46Is Frank lying?
18:49No, he's not.
18:50Frank gave him $30,000.
18:52For all you know, Robert blew it all himself, and this $7,000 is all that's left.
18:56Maybe he lost it again, spent it all, and now he's trying to squeeze my son.
19:00That's possible.
19:01Maybe he really did blow through the money, and now he's trying to blame Frank.
19:04Good thing Frank cleared that up.
19:06Otherwise, what an injustice that would be, blaming Frank for something like this.
19:10Robert, how did you end up like this?
19:13All right, enough.
19:14You've had your little tantrum.
19:15I'm not going to hold it against you.
19:17Now get back in there and job.
19:19Don't mess up my business, because you can't afford the consequences.
19:26Not so fast.
19:27Let's get this straight.
19:29If this deposit record doesn't prove anything, then let's try something else.
19:38This is my place, and I put up the capital.
19:41People come here to eat at my restaurant.
19:43You're just the cook.
19:44$7,000 is more than fair.
19:47Oh my God, he really only gave him $7,000?
19:50Frank used the friendship as an excuse, tricked Robert out of his secret recipe,
19:54worked him like a dog, and then handed him $7,000?
19:56That is way out of line.
19:58Yeah, if I were him, I'd jump ship, too.
20:00Open my own place, make money with my own skills.
20:03Better than being treated like an idiot.
20:04No, Robert.
20:05You know damn well why I only gave you $7,000.
20:08You've been lazing around my restaurant every day, not doing a thing.
20:11I fed you, housed you, and still gave you $7,000.
20:13That's more than generous.
20:14You can't be this ungrateful.
20:17Fine.
20:18I'll make you eat your words.
20:20See that?
20:21This is what you call not doing a thing.
20:24From 6 in the morning till 3 the next morning, I didn't stop for a second.
20:27And those 15 smoked dishes, I made every single one of them myself.
20:32My wrist is still swollen.
20:33You want to tell me I didn't work?
20:35Frank, you came to me.
20:36You said your restaurant was about to fail.
20:38You begged me to bring my grandfather's smoked meat recipe and invest it in your place.
20:42You asked me to be your chef.
20:44You promised we'd split the profits 50-50.
20:46Out of loyalty to the friendship we'd had since we were kids, I closed my own restaurant
20:49and killed myself working for you.
20:51This past year, I fronted you over $2,000 for repairs and ingredients.
20:55I never even asked for it back because I believed you when you said you wouldn't treat me unfairly.
20:59But when it came time for the payout, what did you say?
21:02You said I was just a lousy cook with no right to split the profits with you.
21:06You went around lying to the neighbors.
21:08And then you wanted my parents and my wife to come work for you for nothing.
21:11Frank, and you're calling me ungrateful?
21:13Oh, Frank, this is just too much.
21:15You made a fortune off someone else's recipe, treated him like a mule and gave him seven grand.
21:20Doesn't that money burn a hole in your pocket?
21:21Either pay the man a real wage or buy his recipe outright.
21:24$7,000, that's just exploitation.
21:27And you have the nerve to call him ungrateful?
21:30You're the ungrateful one here.
21:32Robert, can we talk about this later?
21:33I really need you right now.
21:34Stop making a scene.
21:35I promise I'll give you a raise.
21:37$30,000.
21:38No, $50,000.
21:39That's fair, isn't it?
21:41Now please, just get back to the kitchen.
21:42Don't mess up the guest's meal.
21:45Keep your $50,000.
21:47From now on, we each go our own way.
21:49We owe each other nothing.
21:52Robert, you can't leave.
21:53The guests are about to arrive.
21:55If you walk out, who's going to cook for me?
21:56And what about those thousand smoke gift boxes?
21:58Did you make them?
22:00You didn't make them, did you?
22:02Robert, are you trying to ruin me?
22:04I took a $30,000 deposit from the client.
22:07If I default, I have to pay triple.
22:11Who am I to you?
22:12Why should I cook for you?
22:14Why should I make your gift boxes?
22:15You're my partner.
22:17I gave you a share.
22:18A share?
22:19Are you talking about that $7,000?
22:21The wages you said I, a useless cook, deserved?
22:25Frank, we have no contract.
22:27No agreement.
22:27That partnership yours was nothing but empty words.
22:31The moment you threw that $7,000 in my face,
22:33whatever there was between us was over.
22:36Robert, just tell me how much you want.
22:38Whatever Susan can give you, I can give you too.
22:41We've known each other for 30 years.
22:42You can't pick her.
22:44You can't betray me.
22:52I'm not picking anyone
22:53because I'm the owner of this restaurant.
23:02Frank, we're all here.
23:04Serve the meal in half an hour.
23:05We need to get to the attractions after we cheer,
23:07so don't waste any time.
23:09I'm really sorry.
23:11Today, today the chef isn't here.
23:13I can't serve the meal.
23:14What did you just say?
23:15Are you joking with me?
23:16I booked this a month in advance,
23:18specifically for your smoked dishes.
23:19Now my people are all here
23:20and you're telling me the chef isn't here?
23:21I'm really, really sorry.
23:22Why don't you take everyone to another restaurant?
23:24I'll apologize.
23:25I'll compensate.
23:25Today is Independence Day.
23:27Tourists are everywhere.
23:28Where am I supposed to find a restaurant
23:29to seat 300 people?
23:31I don't care what your problem is.
23:32We had an agreement
23:33and we're sticking to it.
23:35We're not going anywhere else.
23:37We're eating right here at your place.
23:38Noah, hurry.
23:39Get to the kitchen and start prepping.
23:41Lunch for 300 people.
23:42It needs to be ready in half an hour.
23:43Boss, I can't do it.
23:44I can't handle a crowd this big.
23:46And besides,
23:46there's not even enough ingredients
23:47in the kitchen right now.
23:48No ingredients?
23:49We run a restaurant
23:50and you're telling me there are no ingredients?
23:51What kind of chef are you?
23:52Boss, there's nothing I can do.
23:53Robert always handled all the purchasing and prep.
23:55I never had to deal with any of that.
23:57Robert, you did this on purpose.
23:59You're trying to destroy me.
24:01Frank, since the chef isn't here,
24:03does that mean the thousand smoked gift boxes
24:05I ordered aren't ready either?
24:06Where do you think you're going?
24:08Frank, tell me the truth.
24:09Did you make those thousand gift boxes or not?
24:11I'm so sorry.
24:13The chef who does the smoking,
24:14he called in sick these past couple of days.
24:16Give me a few more days.
24:18Give me your address.
24:19I promise I'll mail them to you.
24:21Mail them?
24:21300 people, 300 different addresses?
24:24Are you joking with me?
24:25Do you have any idea
24:25how important this tour group is to me?
24:27These are all key clients.
24:28The only reason I chose your restaurant
24:30was because of your smoked dishes.
24:31You think I would have picked you otherwise?
24:32I paid you a $30,000 deposit
24:34for those thousand gift boxes.
24:35If you can't deliver them,
24:36according to our agreement,
24:37you owe me triple.
24:38That's $90,000 right now.
24:39And on top of that,
24:40you need to find us a place to eat immediately.
24:42Otherwise, I'm calling the police
24:43and reporting you for fraud.
24:44I'll make sure this restaurant of yours
24:45never opens again.
24:48$90,000.
24:50Robert, my good brother,
24:51think of our 30 years of friendship.
24:53Help me out.
24:53I'll pay you more.
24:54$50,000.
24:55No, $100,000.
24:56Please, just help me this one time.
24:58No need.
24:59Without you,
25:00I can make a lot more than that.
25:03Well, if it isn't Robert,
25:05Frank just said you were sick,
25:06but I knew that couldn't be right.
25:07You're tough as nails.
25:09Every time I come here,
25:09I see you working your tail off.
25:11Robert, you opened your own place?
25:12That's right.
25:13Grand opening today.
25:14It's about time.
25:15That friend of yours is way too cheap.
25:17A craftsman like you,
25:18working for him,
25:19total waste of talent.
25:20Hey, Robert,
25:21does your place have room?
25:22I can't have 300 yours is going hungry.
25:24We've got plenty of room
25:25and the smoke gift boxes
25:26are already prepared.
25:26Right this way.
25:27Good man.
25:28Reliable.
25:32You really screwed up.
25:34You drove away a good brother like this.
25:36You brought this on yourself.
25:37And let me tell you,
25:38that $90,000 penalty,
25:39not one cent less.
25:40If you don't pay up,
25:42I'll see you in court.
25:47Robert, you unbastard.
25:49My son gave you so much money
25:51and you betray him like this?
25:53How can you be so cruel?
25:59Still trying to sling mud?
26:00Didn't you say Robert did nothing around here?
26:02Funny how without Robert,
26:03your son of son is about to lose $90,000.
26:06Exactly.
26:07Wouldn't the friend who broke his back for him
26:09and now he's got to pay it all out in damages.
26:11Serves him right.
26:23This is amazing.
26:24The smoke flavor is so authentic.
26:26I've never had smoked dishes this good anywhere.
26:29Truly incredible.
26:31All 15 smoked dishes are delicious.
26:35We'll definitely be coming back.
26:37You're always welcome.
26:39The truth is,
26:40I had already made those thousand smoked gift boxes
26:42together with my parents and wife.
26:43Back then,
26:44I still thought that if Frank could finally wake up,
26:46admit his mistakes,
26:46and stop treating me like a fool,
26:48I would give him the gift boxes
26:49and help him get through this crisis.
26:50But he didn't.
26:50He chose to keep lying and keep squeezing me.
26:52He sealed that last path shut with his own hands.
26:55First day opened,
26:56and gross revenue hit over $100,000.
26:59A thousand smoked gift boxes at $85 each
27:02comes to $85,000.
27:04After subtracting the cost of ingredients,
27:06labor and everything else,
27:07net profit is $35,000.
27:10This is what my craft is worth.
27:12This is what I earned.
27:13You have to try Robert's smoked dishes.
27:15His craft is absolutely top-notch.
27:17William turned out to be incredibly helpful.
27:19Everywhere he went after that,
27:21he never forgot to spread the word about my restaurant.
27:23Add to that the buzz from what happened on opening day,
27:26and my place became famous.
27:27In the days that followed,
27:28we were packed every single day.
27:30Tables were impossible to come by.
27:32Takeout orders were nonstop.
27:32I had to hire three more people just to keep up with demand.
27:37No, you can't leave.
27:39Mr. Carter, your restaurant doesn't have any customers.
27:41There's no future for me here.
27:43It's hurting my reputation.
27:44I have to go.
27:55Frank?
27:56Frank?
