Show Me The Greed - Pilot

Last year, Mike Endo hit the news for being one of the richest men alive. However, after only a few months after being on the news, he was, once again in the news, but this time, for all of the wrong reasons. This is why.

A few months ago, Mike was invited with a group of people, who call themselves 'The Anker', where they went to a bar-mixed casino. Everyone was betting on things, and everyone, excluding Mike, got fucked up on booze and started betting on things that the group would do. When they got to Mike's turn, they decided to have Mike roll a die. The rules were simple in their eyes, if he rolled a 1-3, Mike would have to give them money, and if he rolled a 4-6, he would get double that. After the first roll, Mike was successful in earning $200.

"Want to try again?" Pentro Asked.

And so the group, after hours of betting, Mike won after winning over $5000 out of the group. Leaving the group $2000 just because he didn't want them walking away with nothing.

The group got enraged that they lost and set out on a hunt to get redemption from Mike.

This leads us to today.

Mike was doing business with a team of interns, making a project of his come true. He decided to, after surprisingly a whole years worth of scilence, finally decided to give people equal pay for any gender, or both.

"Okay, so I ask this question, who sides with me on this idea?" Mike asks.

Someone in the group of interns asked, "I know someone will hate me for asking, but who's the genius thought up about this idea? It seems intriguing, however I feel like there could be problems on the horizon if this was a good idea."

Sarah raised her hand, "I was the one who commissioned this idea, Phil."

Phil asks, "Why? I feel like it would just make things in our lives much worse than they are now."

Confused and a bit insulted, Sarah asks, "And this is why I didn't want to bring this asshole into our business.

"Anyway, I ask who sides with me that this is a good idea?" Mike asks.

Excluding Mike, everybody agrees.

Mike draws on the board a way in which this would be possible, and how the idea would be widespread. While that's happening, Pentro enters the office, after finding Mike's location, to greet him with a surprise.

"Mr. Endo, someone wants to speak with you." Mike's assistant says.

"Before I go, I ask, who is this person? And is it importaint enough to get in the way of me presenting an idea like this to our interns?" Mike asked.

The assistant left the room to ask Pento if this was serious enough to halt progress, to which she came back to say, "Yes, apparently, according to the man, its so serious, then man, "has no time to explain"."

"You already know the drill, Mrid. Don't let any fuckboy come in without an explanation." Mike Said.

"Are you sure? he seems generally seriou-" Mrid said before getting cut off to have Mike say, "I said, don't let the bastard in, no matter what, keep him outside our meeting, I will speak with him later."

"But-" Mrid said before getting cut off, again to hear Mike say, "That's an order, not a question, or a demand."

"Yes." Mrid said and leaving to tell Pento to leave.

"Fuck that, I told him to get his ass out here, and I mean that, get your ass in ther-"

"Sir, I need you to calm down." Mrid said in a strained, strict voice.

"Don't tell me what to fucking do, you bitch." Pento said before getting chocked and being thrown down the stairs afterwhich, Mrid slammed the door so hard, she nearly broke it.

"Um, are you okay Mri-" Peter said.

"Shut, your fucking mouth, you piece of shit." Mrid said in a infuriated tone.

After the meeting, Mike said, "Okay, I'm finished, anyway whose the man that wanted to see me?"

"That man, on the stairs, I want you to throw him out." Mrid said.

"I didn't even see him, yet." Mike said.

"Yeah, I know, and I think you'd rather not see him, he didn't even tell me his name." Mrid replied.

Mike walked towards the stairs, and viewed in the glass to see Pento.

"Yeah, your right, back me up by grabbing him. I'll interrogate him." Mike opened the door, and Mike and Mrid went to the seemingly annoyed Pento, Mrid grabbing him, and gabbing him, and taking him to a cracked window.

"Why the hell are you here?" Mike asked.

"I want payback for what we did months ago. You remember? The fucking bullshit that you pulled on us. I've found exactly where you are, and I want to kick your ass." Pento Said.

Mrid banged Mike's head on the wall.

"I want to know what you wnat from me. You want money? Because I've gotten none for you. I've already given you $2000, which in my opinion, is a lot of money." Mike said.

"Yeah, well I want some payback for you fucking over my life." Pento said.

"You decided to bet with me, I didn't drag you down with me. I never do that." Mike said.

Pento broke free from Mrid's grasp, rushing to Mike to kick him.

"You wake him up, I will break you." Pento threatened.

Pento grabbed Mike and dragged him out of the building.

What Pento didn't know was that Mike was a good actor, and he was pretending to be unconscious, even after a kick like that.

"Good fucking luck, Pento. You know nothing about Me." Mike thought.

The two get into a car, and the two end up riding off to Pento's home, featuing the Anker group from months ago.

"Welcome back, Mike." Dex said.

After being greeted, he is sat into a chair, and the group begin asking questions.

Unaware of a little trick, up Mike's sleeve.
