Vaughn Mercer works quietly in his scrap yard until an excavator crushes his cans. A gang led by a scarred thug in an orange jacket orders him off the property. Mercer gives them three seconds to clean up the mess. When they attack, Mercer defeats the men and pins their leader down. Governor Conrad Whitmore suddenly arrives with guards, slaps the thug, and drops to one knee before Mercer.
Vaughn Mercer collects cans on his property. A large excavator suddenly rolls in and flattens them. A scarred man in an orange jacket leads a group over, kicks Mercer's collection sack, and tells him to clear out right away.
Mercer looks at the gang and demands they pick up every can by the count of three. The thug leader laughs in his face. He claims Governor Conrad Whitmore wants the property. Mercer stays calm and counts out loud.
The gang leader tells his crew to charge. Mercer beats down every henchman in seconds. He pins the leader to the ground with his foot on his hand. Mercer states that even Conrad would kneel before him.
A fleet of luxury cars pulls up with armed guards. The wounded thug runs over to complain. Governor Conrad Whitmore steps outside, slaps the man down to the dirt, and walks over to face Mercer.
Conrad drops down onto one knee in front of Mercer. His entire retinue immediately follows his lead and bows alongside him. The bruised thug lies on the ground and watches the governor submit to an old scrap collector.
“老东西，马上把你店里这些垃圾给我清空，然后滚蛋！”
“我数三声，把地上的瓶子给我一个个捡起来，放回去。”
“信不信，就算陈相如来了，也得给我跪下。”
“江城督府，陈相如，拜见秦爷！”
Conrad Whitmore remains on his knee in the scrap yard dirt alongside his assembled guards. The beaten thug leader stares in total terror as the regional governor bows before Mercer. Mercer stands quietly over the kneeling crowd. Who was Vaughn Mercer before he started collecting scrap, and why does the governor answer to him?
