00:03Respectful welcome, Boss Long.
00:05We beg Boss Long to return and take charge.
00:12From this day forward, Boss Long no longer exists.
00:20Fifteen years ago, with just me and my blade, I dyed half the river red.
00:28The world honored me as Boss Long, until she came to visit me in prison, heavily pregnant, and told me
00:37I was going to be a father.
00:38For my daughter, I willingly sheathed my fangs and became an ordinary man.
00:50Yo, Nora, isn't that your dad? The one who just got out of prison?
00:59Oh, my God.
01:00OMG, it totally is. He looks like a total bum. What a freak.
01:12Can you stop embarrassing me? Do you have any idea how much face you're making me lose in front of
01:16my friends?
01:17Nora, your mom said you complained that the cafeteria owners in Taubel and often meet.
01:20This is all your favorite food, clean and safe.
01:22Get lost!
01:25You went to jail for such a whippy reason and made me suffer as a kid with no dad.
01:30I finally got my own crew and you just had to show up and ruin everything.
01:34Have you ever considered appealing?
01:36My godbrother broke someone's leg and only got three years.
01:39I heard you stole some scrap metal back then, but ended up digging up a power cable and got sentenced
01:42to fifteen years?
01:43How can you be so unlucky and such a wimp? That's hilarious.
01:46I can never tell my child my real crime. She can never know she is the daughter of Boss Long
01:51or it will invite countless enemies.
01:53This humiliation. I have to swallow it.
02:00Going to prison is nothing to be proud of. You kids should focus on studying.
02:04Here, take it. Don't starve.
02:07Having a loser like you for a dad is the least proud thing in the world.
02:20You son of a bitch trying to steal my business?
02:22Didn't I tell you? If you dare sell food here again, I'll kill you!
02:28Nora, look! Your dad is getting beaten up!
02:37Fight back! Just fight back like a man once and I'd actually respect you.
02:41I'm sorry. I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now.
02:44Did I not tell you for the second time?
02:56Boss, I'm not cheaper than you. We both sell meal sets for fifteen bucks.
03:00So how is this stealing your business?
03:02The kids...
03:04The kids just want something good to eat.
03:08So you're saying my cafeteria food sucks?
03:11I'd love to see just how good your food is!
03:20You bastard!
03:21Do you have any idea how many dangerous people I know on the streets?
03:24Over a dozen parents reported me and nobody could touch me.
03:28And now you want to take me down?
03:31Boss, if you don't like my cart being here, I'll move further away, okay?
03:36Coward! You're such a wimp!
03:46You think it's that easy to just walk away?
03:48Let's talk about compensation first.
03:50I heard you sell three hundred meal sets a day.
03:52That means you're costing me three hundred customers a day.
03:55My price is fifteen bucks. That's four thousand five hundred a day.
03:58You've been here for ten days, so that's forty-five grand total.
04:02Pay up! Now!
04:05Foss, if you're pushing me around, don't be like this!
04:07He cost me money, and now he refuses to pay up. What should we do about it?
04:15Whoa, more meat than sauce. Doing business like this, aren't you of karma coming back to bite you?
04:21He rips people off, but gets mad when others try to sell.
04:25But this vendor is such a wimp. If someone did this to me, I'd have fought back ages ago.
04:30People who are weak just get pushed around.
04:34So now when people beat you, you just won't fight back? Is that it?
04:39You brat! What the hell is this to you? Say one more word, and I'll make sure you get expelled!
04:44No, boss. I give up, okay? I'm leaving right now.
04:47I can't pay the full amount. How about you tell me your profit margin?
04:50And I'll compensate you for the profit.
04:52You think I'm an idiot? Tell you my profits so you can run me out of town?
05:00How long are you going to keep humiliating yourself? Just fight back!
05:04Go on! Drag that uneducated little wild girl over here!
05:18Kisti Gerba. Isn't that the tattoo Boss Long has?
05:23This better not be a temporary tattoo sticker.
05:26You a street vendor selling box lunches? You dare to get the same tattoo as Boss Long?!
05:31Boss could actually be Boss Long. I heard he just got out of prison recently.
05:35The chairman's seat at the Aegis Group has been kept vacant for Boss Long all this time.
05:41Do you really think a guy like that would give up being the chairman just to come here and sell
05:46box lunches?
05:50Besides...
05:51You really have the guts to ink that!
05:54Back in the day, Boss Long fought a thousand men alone with just a blade.
05:57And you? You're nothing but a death-seeking piece of trash!
06:05I'm sending your pic to my friends at the Aegis Group.
06:08They'll be here any minute, and then there's absolutely no way you're flying out of this one.
06:12What on earth did you get tattooed?
06:15Nora...
06:16Go home first.
06:17You steal scrap metal, why would you get a Kashita Garba tattoo?!
06:21Don't you know that tons of people have pretended to be Boss Long to scam others over the years,
06:27and they all got care of by the Aegis Group?!
06:29Run!
06:30Just run!
06:30Is she... worried about me?
06:33Even though she despises me for being a wimp father, she'd still want anything to happen to me.
06:37How can I ever repay this guilt?
06:39Don't even think about running!
06:41I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but it looks like you have a death wish!
06:44You!
06:48Yo, bro.
06:50Yeah, this slob right here, I'm the one who beat him up.
06:52You coming over?
06:54Wait a minute, what did you say?
06:56The Aegis Group Board of Directors is coming.
07:01You know those guys?
07:02How could I possibly know them?!
07:04Those are absolute big shots!
07:06But they just called, and they said they're on their way!
07:10They're mobilizing the whole crew just because someone impersonated their boss?
07:15Loyalty!
07:15I think it's because the reputation of Boss Long can't tolerate just any random stray dog barking at it.
07:21You son of a bitch, you're about to find out exactly how miserable your end is gonna be.
07:30Just go!
07:31You've already wasted 15 years of her life, and you still want to leave her all alone?!
07:34Go!
07:35It's all my fault.
07:38I'm a bastard for letting them suffer for 15 years.
07:41Please don't call anyone, okay?
07:43He's just a scrap metal thief.
07:45He doesn't even know who Boss Long is.
07:48He was stupid 15 years ago, cut a power cable, and went to Drill.
07:54He went in, he'd even heard the story of that big shot!
07:58It's not intentional imitation, it's just a coincidence!
08:02A scrap metal thief?
08:04I'm literally dying!
08:06Went to jail for stealing scrap metal?!
08:08Is there anything more pathetic than that?!
08:15You think you can just walk away?
08:18It's not that easy.
08:20The Aegis Group has already put the word out.
08:22Anyone who dares to get the Kistigabra tattoo is openly declaring war on them.
08:28I told you, he got it over a decade ago!
08:32I don't care if this son of a bitch is innocent or not.
08:35If you die today, remember not to steal someone else's business in your next life.
08:42Aren't you guys gonna help?!
08:44Are we even that close?
08:46We're best friends!
08:48If you really considered us sisters, you'd keep us out of this.
08:51Getting yourself in this deep and trying to sink us with you?
08:54You're not one of us!
08:56Yeah.
08:57You want us to die with you and you still have the nerve to call us best friends?
09:01Messing around is one thing, but who's actually gonna die for you?!
09:05I can't fight the Aegis Group!
09:06I'm not asking you to fight the Aegis Group!
09:09I'm just begging you to help us get away, okay?!
09:16Fifteen years in prison.
09:17How much did she have to suffer to be this desperate, seeking warmth in a fake sisterhood like this?
09:26Little bitch, can't you just keep your mouth shut?!
09:30What?!
09:31You dare to fight back?!
09:35I don't fight anymore.
09:36Then let go!
09:37You can beat me all you want, I don't care.
09:40But if you touch my daughter, I will kill you.
09:45A stinking dinner vendor dares to threaten me?
09:48Fine, you don't want me to hit this L bitch?
09:50I'll do it just to spike you!
10:01I'll cripple you right now!
10:04I'll break your arms and legs and then hand you over to the Aegis Group!
10:10Ran!
10:13Do you really admire Boss Long that much?
10:16Huh?
10:16Then I'll show you how it's done.
10:23Are you telling me a whole crew can't take down a dinner vendor?!
10:28Get him!
10:29The Aegis Group will be here any second! Let's go!
10:32If we run, they'll keep coming after us.
10:35It's better to settle this once and for all.
10:37Quit acting! You should be worrying about yourself!
10:40I'm not acting.
10:45You think you're tough?!
10:47I'm telling you, you're finished!
10:50The Aegis Group is here!
10:52Today is the last day of your life!
10:57Mom raised me all alone, waiting for you for 15 years.
11:01She always told me not to hate you, saying you were actually a reliable man.
11:05But how are you reliable when you've gotten yourself into such a massive mess?!
11:10I'm sorry.
11:14Bosses! Right here!
11:15It's this son of a bitch who's been impersoning Boss Long.
11:18When I heard about it, I thought, how dare he?!
11:20So I want to teach him a lesson on behalf of the Aegis Group!
11:23Who knew he doesn't even respect the Aegis Group and even tried to run away?!
11:27It really is the Aegis Group!
11:29This guy is dead meat!
11:31You never see these big jods on a normal day, and today they're all gathered in one place!
11:36I just risked my life beating him up to vent anger for the Aegis Group!
11:41Just look at him! That's all my handiwork!
11:43Bosses, please listen to me!
11:45This is my dad!
11:46He went to prison many years ago, and he got this tattoo many years ago, too!
11:50After he came back, I hated him because his being in prison had left Mom waiting for him for so
11:55many years!
11:56So I didn't want to get close to him!
11:59That's why this is the first time I've seen his tattoo!
12:02If I had known about it earlier, I would have warned him properly!
12:07He has no intention of provoking the Aegis Group, and he has no intention of imperson Long Boss!
12:15Please! I beg you, let him go! I'm begging you on my knees!
12:19But I'm confused! Do you think you're somebody? How much are your knees even worth?
12:31Boss Long! Young Lady!
12:39Bosses, did you make a mistake? He's just a dinner vendor!
12:45Today is the last day of your life! It's a Minder standing! It's all a Minder standing!
12:54I am Boss Long's daughter.
12:56Nora, I'm sorry for hiding it from you for so long.
12:59Is it true, the legend from 15 years ago, that you fought a thousand men alone with just a single
13:05blade and the river ran red with blood?
13:08How can one man possibly stand against a thousand?
13:11It's true. But let me deal with this piece of shit first. Then I'll tell you.
13:17Help! Somebody help me!
13:19Wait!
13:26Them two. Bring them over.
13:30Boss, I swear I wasn't trying to mock you. I was just messing around.
13:34Nora, come on! Say something! Back me up here!
13:36We're tight, aren't we?
13:37Since when?
13:38Just now I was begging you to do me one tiny favor, and you ripped into me without a second
13:43thought.
13:43Now all of a sudden we're tight?
13:45I see right through you.
13:47All of you.
13:48Boss Long, what do you want done with these scumbags?
13:52Boss Long, no.
13:53President Long.
13:54Chairman Long, I had no clue who you were.
13:56If I'd known, you could have handed me a hundred lives and I still wouldn't have come at you.
14:01Our dinners were the same price.
14:03If they bought from you, all they had to do was sit in the cafeteria and take their time eating.
14:09But if they bought from me, they had to walk all the way off campus and squat on the curb
14:13just to eat.
14:15So tell me, why did they still pick me?
14:18Because I'm a greedy, rotten piece of trash.
14:21I was wrong.
14:22I swear, I know I was wrong.
14:24You don't know a damn thing.
14:26You just figured out you messed with the wrong guy.
14:29You're only running your mouth about being sorry so you can squirm your way out of this.
14:32Boss Long sells 300 meals a day, no sweat.
14:35So how about it?
14:36Did you trash all this or did you pay for it?
14:39I paid for it.
14:40When I saw how hard Boss Long was grinding, I bought it all on purpose.
14:44So, do I owe you anything for it?
14:46Of course not.
14:47Please, you're a big man.
14:49Let it slide just this once.
14:52Oh, well, since you bought it, eat up.
14:55Eat?
14:56What's the matter?
14:56Boss Long's cooking ain't good enough for you?
14:59I'll eat it.
15:00I'll eat it.
15:03How's it taste?
15:05Amazing.
15:06Way better than anything I ever made.
15:07Then go on.
15:09Finish every last bite.
15:11Huh?
15:11300 meals worth of food?
15:13How the hell am I supposed to finish all that?
15:17Can't finish it?
15:18Let us help you out.
15:20You're not going to help him eat?
15:23Eat up.
15:25A full belly for the road ahead.
15:27Sir, what road?
15:29What do you mean, the road ahead?
15:31We own minds over Sears.
15:33But that place, between the fighting and the malaria, a whole lot of people don't come back.
15:38If you're lucky, you'll lose an arm or a leg, but you can come back after ten years of labor.
15:43If luck isn't on your side, at the very least, we'll send your ashes home.
15:46Please.
15:47Isn't there any way I don't have to go?
15:49You don't have to.
15:51But the Agus group will make you beg to go.
15:55Foslong!
15:56I was wrong!
15:57I swear I was wrong!
15:59Please!
15:59Don't let them send me overseas!
16:01I've heard about the group's minds abroad.
16:04The laborers there either get half their bodies blown apart by bombs,
16:08or have their hands and feet hacked off by local millifits.
16:12They said they'd only hire local workers there.
16:15How could you send me instead?
16:17I'm human, too!
16:19I only messed up once!
16:20This punishment's way too cruel, isn't it?
16:23I hear the principal is your cousin.
16:26Word is people have reported you more than once.
16:28And every time, nothing stuck.
16:31And those people were just standing up for what's right.
16:34And because they reported you, their own kids got kicked out of school.
16:37That ring a bell?
16:39That's on them for having kids with bad grades.
16:43They couldn't get into public school and still thought they could make a fuss.
16:47Oh, so in your book, the strong get to walk all over the weak.
16:51So tell me, does that mean I get to walk all over you?
16:56Foslong!
16:57Kids are still growing.
16:59I get that you run a business to make profits, but at the very least, show some decency towards the
17:03children.
17:04You want me to treat you well, yet have you ever cared about these kids?
17:08No one would skip school and eat dinner on the side of the road if they weren't left with no
17:11other option.
17:12I was wrong.
17:19Boss, we'll never make fun of you again.
17:21We swear.
17:24I was never going to do anything to you.
17:26Kid, focus on your studies.
17:28Strutting around school, acting hard, and you think you're hot shit.
17:30But once you're out in the real world, those habits will runk you.
17:33Don't worship crap like this.
17:36Next time you come by to hang out with my daughter, dye your hair back first, alright?
17:46Why is everyone so scared of us?
17:48Makes Eggis look like some kind of gang.
17:50No clue, boss.
17:51Maybe because we're just way too damn rich.
17:55Oh.
18:04What a shame.
18:06I fixed dinner for you at first, and even carefully arranged the food into a heart shape.
18:10They thought we were done for.
18:12You should have told me right away that you were boss long.
18:15You were scared.
18:16So why did you still step in front of me?
18:18No matter how much I've hated you for being gone all those 15 years, you're still my dad.
18:23You're still the man my mom waited for.
18:25Day and night.
18:30Sorry for failing you.
18:32I'm never leaving you again.
18:42That thing about you fighting a thousand men alone back then?
18:44What really happened?
18:47It's not exactly a glorious story.
18:4915 years ago, my brothers and I founded the Eggis Group.
18:53We just wanted to run an honest business.
18:55But the local gangs kept using violence to muscle in.
18:59The guys were ready to throw down.
19:01But I told them, you all have families.
19:03Fighting them will only destroy your lives.
19:06It's better to just go straight for the head of the snake.
19:09I know, I've heard the stories.
19:12You guys got pushed around, beaten down.
19:15And in the end, you drew life or death lots to fight back.
19:18And you, you drew the short one.
19:21Yeah, that was the lot.
19:22I was scared that if I died, my soul wouldn't find peace.
19:25So I tattooed Shisti Garba on my body, just begging for the Buddha's mercy, hoping I could at least come
19:32back as a human in the next life.
19:33Back then, I strapped layers of metal sheets to my body, couldn't move for shit like that.
19:40So I chose to bury myself beneath the sand pit at my enemy's sight.
19:44When he showed up, he was standing right over.
19:47I drove a blade straight into his couch.
19:49After that, it was just me, one man alone, taking on the entire yard.
20:07One.
20:41He's got iron blades strapped to his body!
20:44I don't remember how many times I got hit.
20:46Just grateful I wrapped myself in all that metal.
20:49Blades can't cut through!
20:51Blades can't cut through! Get the bulldozer! Run him over!
21:19The cops arrived.
21:21I survived.
21:23The price was 20 years in prison.
21:30To become a father worth a damn, I threw myself into rehabilitation.
21:35Got out five years early, just so I wouldn't miss the day you grew up.
21:40Why did mom never tell me any of this all those years?
21:44They were a criminal outfit.
21:46You think we could talk about it?
21:47We were terrified they'd come after us.
21:50For years, I couldn't even let the brothers send money to your mother, couldn't let anyone know who you were.
21:54Then you're back now. Why didn't you tell me?
21:56You know why?
21:58After 15 years, everyone still insists on calling me chairman?
22:02Back then, every one of us had a family to look after.
22:05It wasn't until he went to prison that we found out he rigged the lot.
22:10He was the one who proposed drawing straws.
22:12But from the very start, he'd already made up his mind to throw everything away for us.
22:17I didn't know you existed back then.
22:20I even wrote your mother a letter, told her to find another man.
22:23If I'd known she was pregnant with you, I never would have played the hero.
22:27That year, I chose to abandon your mother.
22:29And that's exactly why I didn't have the face to tell you.
22:35All right, all of you, go on.
22:36Stop following me around.
22:38People are going to think I'm some kind of gangster.
22:40Young lady, the only reason Boss Long won't come back to Aegis
22:44is because he values loyalty above everything.
22:46He says the friendship of a gentleman is as plain as water,
22:50that he don't want any money in return.
22:5215 years ago, we were weak.
22:54We let others walk all over us, and all we could do was let him shield us.
22:58Things are different now.
22:59It's our turn to repay that debt.
23:01Please talk some sense into him.
23:03Get him to come back to Aegis.
23:05All of you, just go.
23:07I didn't do it back then expecting anything in return.
23:11In the future, just swing by my stall and buy a meal.
23:14That'll be enough to honor our brotherhood.
23:18But I want to be a rich kid!
23:20I learned something in prison.
23:22A man should keep his feet on the ground
23:24and build his fortune with the sweat of his own two hands.
23:28Oh, really?
23:29So 15 years ago, when you fought back with a blade,
23:32you weren't using your hands, you were using your feet?
23:35You're playing word games.
23:37I want to be a rich kid!
23:39You made me and Mom suffer for 15 years!
23:42Now people are lining up to repay you,
23:44and what, you won't even let me be a rich kid?
23:46You won't let Mom be a rich wife?
23:49This is a matter of a man's pride.
23:52Helping your brothers out?
23:53How can you take money as a reward for that?
23:56I don't care if you're Boss Long or not.
23:59If you keep saying no,
24:01I will hate you forever for letting your pride ruin me and Mom for the rest of our lives!
24:16If you truly want to repay me,
24:19could you buy the school cafeteria and give it to me?
24:25Boss Long,
24:26one school cafeteria is nowhere near enough.
24:28How about this?
24:29Agus Group has 20,000 employees and 25 cafeteries.
24:32Why don't we contract them all out to you?
24:34We'll sign the papers,
24:35you take them over and run them first,
24:36and pay the group rent next year.
24:38How does that work?
24:39Isn't that just taking them for free?
24:44Boss Long,
24:45we're brothers.
24:45Who's keeping score?
24:57So you've really made up your mind?
25:00The chairman's seat at Agus Group,
25:02people would kill each other just to get a shot at it.
25:05And you're really just going to hand it over?
25:06A cushy shareholder pulling in a couple million a month doing nothing,
25:10and I'd trade that to sit in that seat and grind myself down?
25:13I'm not stupid.
25:19Pride, status,
25:21those are all just empty things.
25:23The fact that you're standing here safe and sound,
25:25and that our whole family can share a meal together every single day means everything.
25:31Darling, you're right.
25:32Taking care of our own little family is what matters most.
25:35As for a man's ego,
25:36I can without it.
25:37It's so shiny.
25:40This is a work of art.
25:42Dad,
25:42from now on,
25:43this car stays right here in the courtyard as my personal sculpture.
25:46Nobody's allowed to touch it.
25:49Once you get into college,
25:51I'll get you a real Ferrari when you can actually take out on the road.
25:54But first,
25:55you've got to pull up those failing grades of yours.
25:58You got a deal?
25:59This young lady is going to go do some practice problems right now.
26:02One day,
26:03the Agus Group family business is going to need me,
26:05a future master of food and beverage management,
26:08to run the whole thing!
26:12She used to be so wild,
26:13running around with those street punks every day.
26:15This past month,
26:16she's done a complete 180,
26:18even asked to buy books on food and beverage management to read.
26:22She's finally on the right track.
26:24Let's go inside.
26:25Tonight,
26:25I'm taking over the kitchen.
26:29I hate the name Boss Long.
26:31I used to think it was so cool,
26:32some guy with a crew of minions at his beck and call.
26:34Then I found out the truth.
26:36Turns out it just means my dad was a total moron.
26:40A giant moron who went to prison just to play hero for other people.
26:44Dad says I'm stupid for not getting my act together.
26:46But honestly,
26:47I think people from his generation are the real idiots.
26:49How does anyone end up dumb enough to go to jail for someone else?
26:52And someone that's stupid actually has the nerve to lecture me about how to be a decent person?
26:59But now he's crazy rich.
27:02I mean,
27:02he turned down the chairman seat,
27:04but he's still loaded,
27:05making a few million a month,
27:07and he doesn't even have to carry the weight of running Agla's group.
27:11And now,
27:11he's got all the time in the world for us.
27:14I really love him now.
27:15He even said he'd get me a Ferrari when I turn 18.
27:18I love him so much.
27:19That's good.
27:20So stop calling him a moron.
27:22He'd be heartbroken if he heard you.
27:27I lost 15 years of having a father.
27:30Good things got more than enough money to make it up to us.
27:34I'm going to hit the books hard and lock this family fortune down tight.
27:39Well,
27:40I hope you pull it off.
27:42There's one more thing that drives me crazy.
27:44My dad is so dumb.
27:46Every time some down on his low buddy or relative shows up at the door,
27:50he lends them a couple hundred grand,
27:52and not a single one of them ever pays him back.
27:55He's too stupid.
27:56He says you can't ask a brother for the money back,
27:59or you lose your honor.
28:01This whole code of honor thing he's got going,
28:03it's not a good thing.
28:04One of these days,
28:05he's going to drain the whole family fortune over it.
28:07Then you really need to talk some sense into him.
28:10You didn't fight this hard just to lose the life you finally have.
28:13Yeah.
28:13Anyway,
28:14I gotta go.
28:15I've got homework to do.
28:19Nora,
28:20you still up?
28:21I warmed up some milk for you.
28:25Dad.
28:26Don't push yourself too hard.
28:28You can't expect your grades to catch up right away.
28:31Just take it one step at a time.
28:33I'm not going to put any pressure on you.
28:35No way.
28:36I need to get into college.
28:38You promised me.
28:39A Ferrari when I turn 18.
28:40If I don't get in,
28:41are you going to weasel out of it?
28:42When have I ever lied to you?
28:44As long as you study hard,
28:46forget the Ferrari.
28:47This whole family fortune is yours one day.
28:49Dad,
28:50on my way back today,
28:51I think I saw that Uncle Jesse guy
28:53hanging around our neighborhood gate again.
28:55Was he here to borrow more money from you?
28:57He won't be coming around anymore.
28:59Why?
29:00You didn't give it to him?
29:02I thought honor and brotherhood meant everything to you.
29:04Because my daughter thinks I'm a moron.
29:08Dad,
29:09you heard all that?
29:11I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your chat.
29:13I just want you to know,
29:14the old boss Long who fought for others
29:16is dead and gone.
29:18The man sitting here now
29:19is just a father
29:20who's desperate to make up for lost time
29:22with his daughter.
29:23Dad,
29:24you're not a moron.
29:24You are the smartest dad
29:26in the whole world.
29:27in the whole world.
29:27Dad,
29:28Dad,
29:29you're the smartest dad
29:29Dad,
29:29you're the smartest dad
29:30you're the smartest dad
29:32in the whole world.
29:32Dad,
29:32you're the smartest dad
29:32in the whole world.
29:33Dad,
