Falling for the Internet's Sweetest Temptation #Dramabox
Transcript
00:00:00Last but not least...
00:00:10Drizzled chocolate.
00:00:28Chef Tony!
00:00:30Big Boss, don't worry. I plan on writing your restaurant a glowing review in the papers.
00:00:40Top-notch. Sunday's cover is promised.
00:00:46We... have a problem.
00:00:52Not for you.
00:00:53That's Dash, from culinary school. No girl he couldn't charm except for sexless Nina.
00:00:59What do you think you're doing?
00:01:01That whore!
00:01:03She replaced me with Dash!
00:01:05Burn her reputation to the ground!
00:01:09I got you this job, eh? Food Critic? Consider this a debt paid.
00:01:17It'd be my honor, boss. Consider it already done. I never thought that fool would try to topple Chef Tony's marks of this city.
00:01:24Of course, if you're not up to the task, then my boys here will do what I'd pay them to do.
00:01:34If you catch my drift...
00:01:38Got it, Chef.
00:01:39Salute.
00:01:43Enjoy the best meal of your life.
00:01:46You are so hot when you're in sabotage mode. How are you gonna take her down?
00:01:55Beat them at their own game.
00:01:56Well, that's it for our first night.
00:02:09Alright, time to clean up and go to our actual homes.
00:02:13Chef Nina, an anonymous food blogger posted about home and it's not good.
00:02:18It's not good.
00:02:19No.
00:02:20And while the new restaurant seems to take itself seriously given the pricing,
00:02:23it's the clout of having a Dash of Temptation as their resident pastry chef that makes them cheap.
00:02:29God. See, this is exactly what I was worried about.
00:02:32A review by a faceless person on the internet?
00:02:35Oh, come on. They barely have any followers. It'll go nowhere.
00:02:39Well, how are you so sure that others don't feel the same about...
00:02:43Me?
00:02:44And here I thought we were getting along so well.
00:02:48Well, what do I do to squash it?
00:02:51Why don't we invite this low-life person in for a dinner?
00:02:55Uh, we're booked up for the next six months.
00:03:03Hey, listen. I know how the internet works.
00:03:07Just give it a day or two and you'll blow over.
00:03:11Soon, real reviews from real customers will overshadow this as they shout from the mount on top how good home is.
00:03:23Hmm.
00:03:25God.
00:03:27I do want to believe you.
00:03:29Simply do so.
00:03:34Nina?
00:03:35Just head home. I'll close up the rest.
00:03:50God, I could really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:03:53God, I could really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:03:57My darling princess, what's wrong?
00:04:01I burned the meal.
00:04:03That's okay. You gotta understand, greatness takes time.
00:04:07It's kind of like waiting for dota rice.
00:04:10You keep experimenting, Nina.
00:04:12You're gonna be a great chef one day.
00:04:15See? Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:17I'll make you feel better.
00:04:29Did you get home okay?
00:04:33This is home.
00:04:36Where I've only ever belonged.
00:04:38Thanks again for giving me a chance.
00:04:44Yeah, whatever.
00:04:46Am I being too hard on him?
00:04:49He did technically help book out my restaurant for six months.
00:04:53Figured you'd like to see all the reviews tonight from real customers.
00:04:59Such a great experience tonight in the comfort of me.
00:05:02Exquisite execution.
00:05:03I'll be back soon if I can get a reservation.
00:05:09A peace offering.
00:05:11A peace offering.
00:05:22Oh my god.
00:05:23Oh my god.
00:05:31Oh god, he's delicious.
00:05:34I mean the dessert.
00:05:38Look, I don't know.
00:05:41I'm in deep.
00:05:47Babe, where are you going so early?
00:05:50Time for a little manipulation tactic for a little special mission.
00:05:53You're a little devil, aren't you?
00:05:54I know how to warm her up just to leave her in the cold.
00:05:56I know how to warm her up just to leave her in the cold.
00:06:13Perfect timing.
00:06:15This is all the crap you stashed in my drawers and littered my living room with.
00:06:19Where's my stuff?
00:06:22Let's focus on apologies rather than your overreaction to a silly little mishap.
00:06:27You are such an asshole.
00:06:29Oh wait, I know what's going on.
00:06:30You're in a mood because of that terrible review by some online food influencer.
00:06:34That must have really stung.
00:06:36Ouch.
00:06:37You think?
00:06:38We're going to get notable reviews from actual professionals.
00:06:41Just you wait.
00:06:44You'll never make it without me or my connections as a food critic.
00:06:48Yeah?
00:06:49And you'll never survive on Christie's overly sweet desserts.
00:06:52Time to up the insulin.
00:06:58Shit, what if he's right?
00:06:59I mean, Axel's the best food critic in town and without him on my side, how am I going to get notable reviews?
00:07:10Oh.
00:07:11Hi.
00:07:12Hey, boss.
00:07:13How's it hanging?
00:07:14Uh, great, great.
00:07:15Just cleaning up.
00:07:17Fun.
00:07:18Is it okay if I pick up a few things for tonight's desserts?
00:07:21All the items there are what your previous chef had ordered.
00:07:23Yeah, yeah, go for it.
00:07:24All right.
00:07:25See you tonight, then.
00:07:26Excited to see what you whip up.
00:07:33Oh, why did I say that?
00:07:36Gross.
00:07:46Oh, boy.
00:07:47Yeah, that's...
00:07:49That's what I need right now.
00:07:54Want some coffee?
00:07:55Sure.
00:07:56Cream?
00:07:57Sugar?
00:07:58No sugar.
00:07:59Geez, okay.
00:08:00Calm down.
00:08:02Tony's new menu shows the kind of sophistication that many of his rivals would sell their soul to copy.
00:08:13I need to hit harder!
00:08:15I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months today.
00:08:16I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months today.
00:08:17I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months today.
00:08:18What?
00:08:19Would you like...
00:08:20No!
00:08:21No!
00:08:22I still have to give your things back, don't I, Nina?
00:08:24I said no sugar!
00:08:26I said no sugar!
00:08:28I said no sugar!
00:08:30I said no sugar!
00:08:32I said no sugar!
00:08:33I said no sugar!
00:08:35I said no sugar!
00:08:36I said no sugar!
00:08:41I said no sugar!
00:08:42I said no sugar!
00:08:43I said no sugar!
00:08:44I said no sugar!
00:08:45I said no sugar!
00:08:46I said no sugar!
00:08:47I said no sugar!
00:08:48I said no sugar!
00:08:49I said no sugar!
00:08:50I said no sugar!
00:08:51I said no sugar!
00:08:56I said no sugar!
00:08:58Got what you needed?
00:09:00Yes, Chef.
00:09:01It's going to be delicious.
00:09:03Oh, hey, everyone.
00:09:06Let's get ready for our busy night!
00:09:15Here's my classic dessert.
00:09:26Flamboyant, untalented, daddy's little rich boy.
00:09:32Time to drop off your stuff, Nina.
00:09:34I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:09:47Cuddle this, bitch.
00:09:59Sir, no running.
00:10:02Hey, watch it, babe.
00:10:05I need to get home and start baking.
00:10:08Yeah, hi.
00:10:09I'd like to report a citation.
00:10:23How's the uni pasta with caviar looking?
00:10:26Oh my god, the entire dining room is flooded.
00:10:37I got called for a health code citation.
00:10:44No.
00:10:48This restaurant is shut down.
00:10:50Infective immediately.
00:10:52Are you the owner?
00:10:53I am.
00:10:54I have to give you a failing grade.
00:10:56No, a failing grade.
00:10:57Look, I have never...
00:10:58Hang on.
00:10:59Expector.
00:11:03Theo.
00:11:04Theo.
00:11:04I like that name.
00:11:07I like you.
00:11:09I mean, I watched your videos and all.
00:11:13Can you give us a few hours to figure out what happened before you gave our chef her first
00:11:18failing grade?
00:11:19It mean a lot to me.
00:11:20For you, anything.
00:11:24I'll get you some dessert.
00:11:25On the house, of course.
00:11:27As a thank you.
00:11:28Oh, I can't take bribes.
00:11:30It's not a bribe.
00:11:32A bribe would be...
00:11:34Me?
00:11:35Feeding you dessert myself.
00:11:36I could take bribes.
00:11:37I could take all the bribes.
00:11:39I'll be right back with a to-go bag.
00:11:41Thank you for understanding.
00:11:48Chef Tony.
00:11:49It's been handled.
00:11:51They'll be shut down.
00:11:53Well done, Axel.
00:11:55You're proving to be invaluable to me.
00:11:58What can I say?
00:11:59It's the least I can do.
00:12:01Hey, tell me.
00:12:02What is a food critic job paying these days?
00:12:06I get by.
00:12:07How'd you like to make a little extra?
00:12:10Come work for my restaurant's management team.
00:12:15But wouldn't that conflict with my current job?
00:12:18You worry too much.
00:12:20Let me handle that.
00:12:26What are you thinking?
00:12:28The flood didn't just happen on its own.
00:12:31The cameras might have caught the perpetrator.
00:12:34So you're thinking that someone did this on purpose?
00:12:37Where's the security feed?
00:12:40Oh, um...
00:12:41Who's this?
00:12:45God, that's my ex-fiancée!
00:12:53This is my ex-fiancée, Axel.
00:12:56He's the food critic for the paper and apparently our saboteur.
00:13:00That is so unethical.
00:13:03Yeah.
00:13:04Who called in the citation?
00:13:06All I know is that it was a man.
00:13:09Recognize this number?
00:13:10Oh, that's Axel's number.
00:13:13God, that little life scum.
00:13:14Okay, call me when you clean up this mess for a proper inspection.
00:13:18Until then, I'll give you a pending grave.
00:13:22Oh, thank you so much.
00:13:25And thank you for the sweet treat.
00:13:29There's more where that came from.
00:13:36What are you doing?
00:13:38Finishing what Axel started.
00:13:39I'd like to discuss a matter concerning you, food critic, Axel Vitti.
00:13:58It's settled.
00:14:00The paper fired Axel.
00:14:02He's gone.
00:14:03We're safe.
00:14:06Don't underestimate Axel.
00:14:07This might have started something worse.
00:14:11I got you.
00:14:13I promise.
00:14:17Too bad home will have to go into foreclosure after its humiliating health inspection.
00:14:29Hello, editor?
00:14:30Yes, I just got the juiciest.
00:14:34What?
00:14:35No, what?
00:14:36You can't fire me.
00:14:37What?
00:14:38No!
00:14:43I'll kill them!
00:14:45I'll kill them!
00:14:46I'll kill them!
00:14:47Oh, fuck.
00:14:48Chef Tony's gonna kill me!
00:14:55Can I make you something that always cheers me up?
00:14:58I don't need your chocolate and charm.
00:15:02This is off the menu.
00:15:04Sure.
00:15:05I mean, I have to be here anyway until the cleaning crew shows up.
00:15:14Mind if I record?
00:15:16I'll do D&L.
00:15:16I'll do D&L.
00:15:17Yeah, how about it, partner?
00:15:26Chef Tony.
00:15:32Join me.
00:15:33There's something you should know about.
00:15:45Tell me my restaurant's gonna be on the front page this Sunday.
00:15:49About that.
00:15:51I may have gotten fired from the paper tonight because I was trying to shut down home.
00:15:55Are you fucking with me?
00:16:01No, Chef.
00:16:02But I wanted to see if, you know, the offer still stood to become a part of your, you know,
00:16:06team's restaurant management.
00:16:07It's just, you know, the money, the money would really help me right now.
00:16:15And I could have really used that prestigious review and for home to be squashed like you promised.
00:16:25I'll make it up to you.
00:16:27Chef, I'll make it up to you.
00:16:30Portatolo via.
00:16:32If you want a job, then my boys here will put you to work.
00:16:37Ciao.
00:16:44Why did you name the restaurant home?
00:16:46Because I grew up in my father's pizzeria.
00:16:49That's where I learned to cook, in his kitchen.
00:16:52So for me, that restaurant was home.
00:16:56I'm envious of you.
00:16:58Says the guy who comes from culinary royalty.
00:17:02Well, unlike you, I wasn't allowed in my father's kitchen.
00:17:06What?
00:17:07Why?
00:17:09My father never thought I had potential.
00:17:14But he also never gave me a chance to prove him wrong.
00:17:20I haven't made this dessert for anyone else before.
00:17:23It's my, uh, well, never mind.
00:17:30Bon appétit.
00:17:33Wait.
00:17:34Wait.
00:17:36Join me.
00:17:37You've had a hard night.
00:17:43It's all yours.
00:17:45So, what's the story behind it?
00:17:48It's the dessert my mother used to make me when I cried.
00:17:51She said it was like a hug on a plate.
00:17:56Well, does she still make it for you?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59Um, she died before my 13th birthday.
00:18:03And afterwards, my father resented having to babysit me while at the restaurant.
00:18:11I'm sorry.
00:18:13It's okay.
00:18:13Because of that, I've learned other skills.
00:18:19Skills that earn me a fan base.
00:18:21Your videos are really good.
00:18:23So you do subscribe to my profile?
00:18:26No.
00:18:26I mean, I...
00:18:28You ghost watch?
00:18:32Oh, guilty.
00:18:35God, I'm so embarrassed.
00:18:37I...
00:18:38Give me your phone.
00:18:41Oh, my God.
00:18:47Now, we both follow each other.
00:18:50Come taste it for yourself.
00:19:00Let me make you feel better.
00:19:16Oh, my.
00:19:17Is it all right?
00:19:18It's been such a long time since I made it.
00:19:20That is the best dessert I've ever had in my life.
00:19:24Yeah, I'm just sweating here.
00:19:26I need this on my menu.
00:19:28Sure.
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:29Go for it.
00:19:30Well, what should it be called?
00:19:35Childhood.
00:19:37Childhood.
00:19:39That's everything home is about.
00:19:43What?
00:19:43Having doubts?
00:19:45No.
00:19:46It's just, uh...
00:19:48I've never felt so seen before.
00:19:58Nina Bertelli?
00:20:01Yeah, that's me.
00:20:02Can you show us where the water's coming from?
00:20:05Absolutely.
00:20:05Follow me.
00:20:06Uh...
00:20:07I will be right back.
00:20:08I got some videos to edit, so...
00:20:10I'll be gone in a bit.
00:20:12Oh, uh...
00:20:13Yeah, uh...
00:20:13Of course.
00:20:14I'll leave this for you and finish.
00:20:17Dash...
00:20:18Ma'am.
00:20:21The damage?
00:20:22Uh...
00:20:23Yes, right away.
00:20:23Damn.
00:20:33That was in there deep.
00:20:34Got it.
00:20:35Fucking bastard!
00:20:45Inspector Theo's just about to call you.
00:20:48What?
00:20:49What do you mean home's going viral?
00:20:51I'm all grown up now.
00:20:56But you're never too old to enjoy your childhood.
00:20:58Come home.
00:20:59It's the only place that's what we serve.
00:21:04Holy fuck, I'm in love.
00:21:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:12He cannot see me like this.
00:21:17Me?
00:21:21You passed.
00:21:26Excellent work.
00:21:28Thank you, Theo.
00:21:29Seriously.
00:21:30Okay, I know there's a six-month wait.
00:21:32But do you think...
00:21:34For you...
00:21:36Always.
00:21:38Oh, I can't wait for seconds.
00:21:42Okay, then.
00:21:42I will see you both soon.
00:21:45You are dangerously good at that.
00:21:50At what?
00:21:52Making people fall for you.
00:21:57Um, maybe we should start prepping now that we can reopen.
00:22:02Prepping?
00:22:03Yeah, yeah, that's, uh...
00:22:05That's great.
00:22:06This is boring.
00:22:15Is anyone hungry?
00:22:17I made strawberry cream-filled white chocolate donuts.
00:22:20What are you, trying to give us a heart attack, woman?
00:22:22At some point, you're going to have to eat what I make for you.
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:26Over my dead body.
00:22:28Okay, you two shut the fuck up before I kill you both.
00:22:30Just knock it off.
00:22:32Wait, is that him?
00:22:37That's him, all right.
00:22:39All right, grab your tool.
00:22:41Let's go.
00:22:42Leave your bitch in the car.
00:22:48Ungrateful assholes.
00:22:51Hey, buddy.
00:22:52Hey, buddy.
00:22:53What's up with the A?
00:22:55Oh, uh, they just passed their inspection.
00:22:57I mean, feel free to make a reservation.
00:22:58Yeah, our boss isn't going to like that.
00:23:00What do you think we should do?
00:23:02Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:23:03I'm just doing my job.
00:23:04Yeah, so are we.
00:23:06Maybe we can discuss this.
00:23:07Yeah, you can discuss it with Chef Tony later.
00:23:10Is the girl still in there?
00:23:11What?
00:23:11Yeah, no, I mean, maybe we can help you remember.
00:23:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:17Ah!
00:23:21How about now?
00:23:22Ah!
00:23:22Ah!
00:23:22Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:23Ah!
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:25Ah!
00:23:25Ah!
00:23:26Ah!
00:23:26Ah!
00:23:27Ah!
00:23:27Ah!
00:23:28Ah!
00:23:28Ah!
00:23:29Ah!
00:23:30Ah!
00:23:30Ah!
00:23:31No, no, no, no, no!
00:23:42No!
00:23:43No, no, no, no, no!
00:23:44Ah!
00:23:46So what is it then?
00:23:51She's inside.
00:23:58I have to go to the market to get a few things.
00:24:00Do you need anything?
00:24:02I'm all set.
00:24:03Thanks, boss.
00:24:05Hey, Nina.
00:24:07Yeah?
00:24:09I, um...
00:24:12See you when you get back.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:16Bye.
00:24:20Smooth, dude.
00:24:21Real smooth.
00:24:25Son, I'm in your city for business and I want to meet up.
00:24:28You couldn't have given me a heads up that you'd be in town?
00:24:31It's last minute.
00:24:32A big tuna auction was just announced.
00:24:34How much are you going to lay down this time, father?
00:24:37One million.
00:24:38Two?
00:24:38Depends on how many will fit on my private plane.
00:24:41Meet me at the market at 1 p.m.
00:24:43I have my station to prep.
00:24:44I doubt your little dessert job would cover your bills if that's all you had to live on.
00:24:50The market.
00:24:511 p.m.
00:24:51Morning, sweetie.
00:25:01Oh, my God.
00:25:02He's hurt badly.
00:25:04Hey, how did this happen?
00:25:06How about you come with us, sweetie?
00:25:12Or the health inspector who left the crawl back to the hospital.
00:25:16What do you think?
00:25:17Let's take a walk.
00:25:24My assistant showed me the video.
00:25:27Your mother's dessert?
00:25:29You dare to replicate it.
00:25:30I didn't replicate it.
00:25:32I honored it.
00:25:33Remembered it.
00:25:34You wouldn't know the difference.
00:25:35You turned it into content.
00:25:37Smeared her memory all over the internet.
00:25:40Then had the audacity to put it on the menu.
00:25:42No.
00:25:43Chef Nina put it on the menu.
00:25:45And she's a fool.
00:25:46You're not talented enough to recreate it.
00:25:49You've never tried anything I've made.
00:25:51How would you know?
00:25:52I'm not foolish enough to let you ruin my taste buds.
00:25:55This conversation is done.
00:25:59Take it off the menu.
00:26:01Or I cut off your funding.
00:26:14Fuck you, Axel.
00:26:16If only you had.
00:26:18You tried ruining my restaurant.
00:26:19Don't worry.
00:26:20I'll succeed somehow.
00:26:23Who are these goons?
00:26:25My cleanup crew.
00:26:28Mosa.
00:26:30You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:33You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:36So this little thing's been making all that noise, huh?
00:26:42Your restaurant has been taking attention away from mine.
00:26:48Why would someone critically acclaimed as you be worried about my little restaurant?
00:26:51Oh, little.
00:26:53Little, listen to the Joker here.
00:26:55All right.
00:26:56That's funny.
00:26:57Does that look like little?
00:26:58Tell me about that.
00:27:01What do you want?
00:27:02I want you to shut down your restaurant.
00:27:05And before you go on about your business and such, I want you to understand something.
00:27:11I'm a stand-up guy.
00:27:13All right?
00:27:14I will pay you handsomely to shut your business down and just go back to making pizzas.
00:27:21Doesn't that sound nice?
00:27:23And what if I don't?
00:27:24Well, then Axel here will cut off your hand.
00:27:28Pretty hard to cook with only one hand, don't you think?
00:27:31Fuck you!
00:27:32That's not nice.
00:27:33Fuck you!
00:27:34No!
00:27:35No!
00:27:35No!
00:27:35No!
00:27:35That's Nina.
00:27:37Help!
00:27:37Help!
00:27:39Help!
00:27:42Help!
00:27:43Help!
00:27:53Tony!
00:27:55How you doing, old friend?
00:27:58Oh no!
00:27:58It's all right. I don't meddle in these kind of business deals. Help her out some.
00:28:04Lado, I haven't tried your restaurants yet, but I hear great things.
00:28:09Don't worry. I don't take your absence personally. It's quite refreshing, actually.
00:28:14It's been, what, 30 years since culinary school?
00:28:17Time flies when you're as successful as me. I see you're still fighting your way through the competition.
00:28:25I don't regret it.
00:28:26I don't expect you to, but to try to do the same to a woman, that's a new low, even for you.
00:28:34Hey, hey, Nina. Nina, wake up. Wake up, come on.
00:28:49Am I in heaven?
00:28:51Kind of. We're at the food market.
00:28:53Oh, God. Where's Tony?
00:28:58My father threatened to reveal Tony's illegal workings if he ever tried to hurt you again.
00:29:04Oh. I wish your father. I need to thank him.
00:29:07He left for a fish auction. Do you think you can walk?
00:29:10Oh, my God.
00:29:16I'm so sorry.
00:29:21Hello?
00:29:22This is he.
00:29:24Oh, uh, thanks for letting me know.
00:29:26There's no cause for concern.
00:29:29What was that?
00:29:30Nothing.
00:29:33Come on.
00:29:34You've got to finish your shopping.
00:29:35The restaurant's about to open.
00:29:38Do you think Axel's going to come back for us?
00:29:42He's a little tied up at the moment.
00:29:44Hey, guys.
00:30:09Thanks again for saving me.
00:30:20It's the least I could do.
00:30:22Does it hurt?
00:30:24Not as much as it would hurt for you to lose your hand.
00:30:27Oh, my career would be over.
00:30:29I hate to ask, but, uh, but I was wondering when I could expect my first check.
00:30:37Next Friday, do you need any dance?
00:30:41I was just curious.
00:30:44Mind if I do a short video before we open?
00:30:48I'll give you a pass for today's row of actions.
00:30:54Hey, guys.
00:30:55How you doing?
00:30:56Today, I'll show you how to decorate the parchment cake.
00:31:00Starting off.
00:31:01All right.
00:31:02Let's make a cake, guys.
00:31:04Doors are open.
00:31:07And then we fall off those golden leaves.
00:31:12My favorite part.
00:31:13Hey, we're open now, so let's focus, okay?
00:31:17You got it, chef.
00:31:26For today.
00:31:32I'm fine.
00:31:33I can't wait.
00:31:34No, hey, I'm happy to help those who help me.
00:31:37We're a team.
00:31:40I got you.
00:31:44First order.
00:31:45Please, please, chef Tony.
00:31:50Please, I beg you.
00:31:51I beg you.
00:31:52Why shouldn't I punish you after today's fiasco?
00:31:55I promise you.
00:31:56I promise you.
00:31:56I could destroy her restaurant for good.
00:31:57If you should give me a second chance, please.
00:31:59I don't believe you.
00:32:00And I don't believe in second chances.
00:32:03Not for me.
00:32:04Not for me.
00:32:04For her restaurant.
00:32:05I can drain her from the inside out.
00:32:08Chef Nina, I'm so sorry, but I have a family emergency, and I have to leave.
00:32:23Like, forever.
00:32:26Oh, my goodness.
00:32:28Yeah, go, but I'm really sorry to hear that.
00:32:31Do you have your tables covered?
00:32:33I do.
00:32:33Thanks.
00:32:35What was the...
00:32:37Chef Nina, who's covering the front?
00:32:41What do you mean the hostess is?
00:32:43She's not there anymore.
00:32:45What?
00:32:45Oh.
00:32:47What?
00:32:49She just bounced.
00:32:50Something about another restaurant that's offering her double the pay?
00:32:56Uh, actually, I'm having a family emergency.
00:32:59I really need to go.
00:33:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:01Please, please don't go.
00:33:03Whatever it is, we can work it out.
00:33:05Look, I have kids to pay for.
00:33:06I'm so sorry.
00:33:11Chef Nina!
00:33:15Oh, God.
00:33:24All the meals are ruined.
00:33:26We're going to be backed up for hours.
00:33:27I'm going to need all hands.
00:33:32Front of house is left, so once a meal is cooked, you have to serve it.
00:33:37That is above my pay grade.
00:33:42Behind.
00:33:47What?
00:33:48I think something's up.
00:33:52Yeah, someone is offering my employees a better paying gig.
00:33:57Did you get a text?
00:33:58Even if I did, I'd ignore it.
00:34:04Excuse me.
00:34:05I have a meal to serve.
00:34:06Oh, shit.
00:34:14Now I have to talk to customers.
00:34:23Oh, God.
00:34:27Enjoy.
00:34:28This is the worst service ever.
00:34:32Tell the chef I'm unimpressed.
00:34:34Uh, I am the chef.
00:34:36You never came to check on any of the tables.
00:34:40Isn't that what chefs are supposed to do?
00:34:42Parade around in schmooze?
00:34:44Uh, wait, I'm so sorry.
00:34:47You haven't finished your meal.
00:34:49It took an hour to get this horse.
00:34:51I lost my appetite.
00:34:52I lost my appetite.
00:34:54Oh, God.
00:35:01What are you doing?
00:35:06Making sure the customers don't see you crying.
00:35:10God, this is terrible.
00:35:12I mean, my restaurant's done.
00:35:14It's finished.
00:35:16It's over.
00:35:22One trim salad and toasted bread.
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:28What are you doing?
00:35:30We are prepping the next meal.
00:35:33Come on.
00:35:35We got this.
00:35:37Just tell me what to do, chef.
00:35:47Uh, I like the tomatoes cut in half.
00:35:52Now, let's go serve the customers.
00:36:14After you, chef.
00:36:22Oh, no.
00:36:26The landlord.
00:36:31Bon appetit.
00:36:34Um, welcome.
00:36:36I wasn't expecting you.
00:36:39Just got the bill for the recent cleanup.
00:36:41You'll be adding that to your rent.
00:36:43You'll be able to afford it, right?
00:36:46Okay.
00:36:48Do I need to look for a new tenant?
00:36:49What an asshole.
00:36:59No one has gotten to dessert.
00:37:04Excuse me.
00:37:07This restaurant will definitely not be part of the best in city competition.
00:37:11I understand if you take the offer.
00:37:24It's not bad.
00:37:26It's it.
00:37:27All is going to work out.
00:37:29We need a miracle to happen.
00:37:32Maybe one's coming.
00:37:33This is chef Nina.
00:37:46What?
00:37:51You submitted us to the competition?
00:37:52Did they mention the cash prize?
00:37:59No.
00:38:00They'll pay for the rent and the bill.
00:38:03Well, I mean, we have to do everything.
00:38:05We have to cook.
00:38:06We have to serve.
00:38:07And the two of us will be amazing.
00:38:10Well, I'm...
00:38:12The chef's cocktail meeting is tomorrow night,
00:38:14so then I have to cancel reservations.
00:38:16Just tell me what needs to be done,
00:38:18and I'll help you do it.
00:38:19You really think we have a chance at winning it?
00:38:23Nina,
00:38:23you're an amazing chef
00:38:26who's a threat to all the other restaurants in this city.
00:38:29You're getting sabotaged left and right.
00:38:33You know deep down why.
00:38:40Hey there, Axel.
00:38:42Tony asked us to deliver this message in person.
00:38:45What's going on?
00:38:45I handled her employees.
00:38:47She's toast.
00:38:47She entered the competition?
00:38:55Pretty empty at this hour.
00:38:57Want to take back your stance on the dessert?
00:38:59Just say the word,
00:39:00and the money will go back into your account.
00:39:03Everything's going to work out.
00:39:06Take a look around, son.
00:39:08You can't live off of this failure.
00:39:10I have a lot to prove,
00:39:12and I know Nina is the one to help me see it through.
00:39:14When do you leave?
00:39:20I got a short gig,
00:39:21so I'm sticking around for a couple extra days.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:31Charming, isn't he?
00:39:32We're going to win this competition
00:39:37come hell or high water.
00:39:41Um,
00:39:42I am so sorry.
00:39:44I...
00:39:44Don't apologize.
00:39:47Never apologize for that.
00:39:52Um,
00:39:53I'm...
00:39:54I'm going to go home and get some rest.
00:39:56Clear my head and all.
00:39:58I'll finish cleaning up.
00:40:05Tony said you need to handle this competition.
00:40:07Or else...
00:40:08Or else what?
00:40:09What the fuck do you think guys like us are hired to do?
00:40:11Hey, hey,
00:40:12but I'm a judge.
00:40:13I, I, I, you know,
00:40:14I got fired.
00:40:15I have no way to infiltrate.
00:40:15That sounds like a you problem.
00:40:17No turning back now.
00:40:30Hi.
00:40:30Pleasure.
00:40:31Pleasure.
00:40:40I got you.
00:40:42I promise.
00:40:42I promise.
00:40:47Hello, chefs.
00:40:58How delighted we are to have you tonight.
00:41:00Toasting the competition.
00:41:02I'd like to apologize for the late start this evening.
00:41:05Seems like one of our judges got food poisoning.
00:41:08I know.
00:41:08Ironic.
00:41:09Luckily,
00:41:10a last-minute replacement
00:41:11randomly stumbled in.
00:41:13We would also like to mention
00:41:14this year we have a celebrity judge
00:41:16that we are all quite excited about.
00:41:19So please,
00:41:20help me welcome our judges.
00:41:23We're screwed.
00:41:43Uh, no.
00:41:46We're dead.
00:41:46I look forward to hearing
00:41:51your restaurant's name
00:41:53come in last place.
00:41:59I'm going to meet the judges.
00:42:01Want to join?
00:42:02Uh, um,
00:42:04I'm,
00:42:04I'm not a great conversationalist.
00:42:07But,
00:42:07that's all you.
00:42:16I can't wait to watch the staff
00:42:20interact with the judges.
00:42:21Oh, wait,
00:42:21I mean,
00:42:22just you and Dash.
00:42:24What are you talking about?
00:42:26The competition doesn't just judge the food.
00:42:29They judge the service.
00:42:30And knowing your lack
00:42:32of personal skills.
00:42:40I'm swole.
00:42:41Okay,
00:42:46I guess this
00:42:46was a terrible idea.
00:42:48You know,
00:42:49the competition's going to cost me
00:42:50two nights of payment
00:42:50on the floor,
00:42:51and I,
00:42:52I hate to break it to you,
00:42:54but having seen how last night went,
00:42:56staying open
00:42:57wouldn't have changed that.
00:42:59Okay, well,
00:43:00maybe I should just
00:43:01shut down the restaurant
00:43:02and save my dignity.
00:43:03You're not
00:43:04going to do that.
00:43:06I won't allow it.
00:43:08What is this really about,
00:43:09Nina?
00:43:11I need to learn
00:43:11how to be charming.
00:43:19How's your evening going, ma'am?
00:43:21Just get on with it.
00:43:24Taking in
00:43:25how the customer is feeling
00:43:26will help you
00:43:26understand their needs,
00:43:27Chef Nina.
00:43:30Well, fine,
00:43:30I'm,
00:43:31I'm feeling frustrated.
00:43:34Well,
00:43:34you came to the right spot
00:43:37to cool down.
00:43:38How about a nice,
00:43:39chilled soup to start?
00:43:40Or,
00:43:41would a cocktail
00:43:43fit your fancy?
00:43:45Worked,
00:43:46didn't it?
00:43:48Yeah,
00:43:49that was good.
00:43:50Now,
00:43:52your turn.
00:43:53What?
00:43:54No.
00:43:55From the entrance.
00:43:55That was adorable.
00:44:17No,
00:44:18it wasn't.
00:44:18Redo.
00:44:19Hey,
00:44:19relax.
00:44:21You smell like chocolate
00:44:30and strawberries.
00:44:32Better?
00:44:37How are you doing this evening?
00:44:41Starving.
00:44:41Then you must be interested
00:44:44in our five course
00:44:45menu experience.
00:44:47That'll definitely
00:44:48satisfy your hunger.
00:44:52Exactly.
00:44:53This might not be
00:44:54so bad after all.
00:44:56Well,
00:44:56yeah,
00:44:57I mean,
00:44:57if your father
00:44:58and my ex
00:44:59don't potentially ruin
00:45:00our futures as chefs,

00:45:02a piece of cake.

00:45:07We'll win this together.
00:45:09I promise.
00:45:12Yes,
00:45:12chef.
00:45:17We need to do
00:45:18a dry run
00:45:19from beginning to end.
00:45:20You ready?
00:45:25Good.
00:45:27I think you can speak in.
00:45:28Good.

00:45:32I think I'm
00:45:57tell me that you want it
00:45:59cause
00:45:59I think I'm falling
00:46:02Now they're deeper
00:46:03I like it
00:46:05Well, it's perfect
00:46:16Back at you, chef
00:46:29Please excuse us as we prepare your next course
00:46:33Bon
00:46:34Appetit
00:46:36Excuse me
00:46:59Uh, where are you going?
00:47:01To check on our guests and grab their empty plates, of course
00:47:04What?
00:47:08What is it?
00:47:10Nothing, it's uh, it's just
00:47:12It just feels like the home I've always wanted to build
00:47:15Me too
00:47:29And, uh, guess what?
00:47:52We get to sit and enjoy this all for ourselves?
00:47:57It's dessert time
00:47:58Of course
00:48:01Don't worry
00:48:01I got it
00:48:04What do you think you're doing?
00:48:23I just wanted to help you with some behind the scenes
00:48:29You ready?
00:48:36Action
00:48:36Anyone can build a house
00:48:42But it takes love
00:48:43To make it a home
00:48:45And, uh, that's my secret ingredient for the dessert
00:48:49I'm gonna prepare for the competition
00:48:51That dessert
00:48:53My mother
00:48:54Used to make me when I was feeling sad
00:48:56And she knew
00:48:57I needed love
00:48:58To get me through some hard times
00:49:01Let me get some of that
00:49:09Sorry
00:49:11No, it's fine
00:49:14I can, I can clean it myself
00:49:15Or, uh
00:49:16I can, I can, I can, you can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can help you with some of my dad
00:49:30Some more of that?
00:49:47I...
00:49:48You could...
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:52Sure.
00:50:00I'll be right back.
00:50:15Uh, so the cameras are still up.
00:50:22Don't worry.
00:50:24I can turn them away so they don't face us.
00:50:28What if they did?
00:50:30Yes, chef.
00:50:49Tell me how much you want.
00:50:54All of it.
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:59Sure.
00:50:59I want to hear your body talk.
00:51:03Let it tell me what you want.
00:51:05You don't have to say it.
00:51:17How do you like it?
00:51:22Well done.
00:51:23How do you think we'd score?
00:51:4510 out of 10, for sure.
00:51:47Let's win this thing.
00:52:01Seconds?
00:52:03Can we have actual dessert before we leave?
00:52:08I'll be right back.
00:52:09How do you sleep?
00:52:15How do you sleep?
00:52:15How do you sleep?
00:52:31Amazingly.
00:52:32Until I woke up and realized today could change everything.
00:52:36It's my one shot.
00:52:37I got you.
00:52:42I got you.
00:52:52So, we can't do the grilled octopus and beetroot salad.
00:52:56We do have shrimp, too.
00:52:57Shrimp would be...
00:52:58So, how about we start off with the shrimp?
00:53:00And then salmon after.
00:53:02Yes.
00:53:02We'll replace the octopus.
00:53:05Right.
00:53:06Welcome home.
00:53:32Greeting us yourselves?
00:53:33You really can't keep a staff, can you?
00:53:36Hmm.
00:53:37Well, we let them have the night off.
00:53:40It's just us.
00:53:42Mi casa, su casa.
00:53:44We've had a long day at the other restaurants, and I have a plane to catch after this, so, uh,
00:53:48can we get on with it?
00:53:49Oh, this way.
00:54:03Enjoy the wine.
00:54:08We'll be right back with your first course.
00:54:09Mm-hmm.
00:54:22And...
00:54:22Just tell them a story.
00:54:37This is your home, after all.
00:54:39Uh, this dish, is from my late father's homeland.
00:54:52It's a take on a meal we would eat on fishing boats after a long day at sea.
00:54:56Expertly executed, chef.
00:54:58Is there something wrong, Judge?
00:55:14Uninspired.
00:55:15You can't be serious.
00:55:17Are you even qualified to be here?
00:55:19He probably sabotaged his way back in.
00:55:23I heard how you got fired.
00:55:24We'll get you a new fork, sir.
00:55:39So attentive.
00:55:45Oh, just eat, you snake.
00:55:47This is the worst meal of my life.
00:55:50Disgusting.
00:55:52Walking down memory lane, mister.
00:55:54Really worked out my appetite.
00:55:58As I said, expertly executed.
00:56:19I hope you all saved room for dessert.
00:56:21It's chef Dasha's specialty.
00:56:26Can't be served.
00:56:27I'll be serving you all a dish from my childhood.
00:56:31My late mother used to make me this dish when I was feeling low.
00:56:35And to this day, every time I eat it, it's as if she's here with me, putting a smile on my face.
00:56:44Excuse me.
00:56:44It's an honor to have him serve this dish under my name.
00:56:49Excuse me.
00:56:50Wait, wait, wait, those scores are higher than the ones you gave to Chef Tony.
00:57:02As it should be.
00:57:03This is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had.
00:57:07Across the board, excellence.
00:57:08But it's just the two of them.
00:57:10Exactly.
00:57:11It's like I'm literally in their home.
00:57:14It's so giving mommy and daddy vibes.
00:57:19Please tell me you don't agree with these amateurs.
00:57:22It is unique.
00:57:23But I have my own hang-ups to ponder.
00:57:26Oh, God.
00:57:28I didn't think this plan would fail.
00:57:30I must do something.
00:57:36Only one dessert?
00:57:38What, you run out of money?
00:57:39Dessert here is served family style.
00:57:42It's meant to be shared.
00:57:44To be fought over.
00:57:46To bring us all together.
00:57:55Bon appétit.
00:57:57Whoa.
00:57:59It's even more beautiful in person.
00:58:02It looks exactly like.
00:58:04It is.
00:58:06Exactly how she made it.
00:58:08Minus the flowers and gold.
00:58:09Of course.
00:58:11I'm afraid to try it.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:15I understand.
00:58:24I'm sorry.
00:58:25Nobody fucks away dead wife's dessert.
00:58:39Nobody.
00:58:40Spoon.
00:58:54It's...
00:58:54It's exactly...
00:58:58It's as if she's here with me...
00:59:02Today.
00:59:04You brought her back to life.
00:59:10May we?
00:59:10Mm.
00:59:10This was a cherry on top of a perfectly executed meal.
00:59:29I know who my winner is.
00:59:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:33That's not how this was supposed to go, okay?
00:59:35I flooded their restaurant, all right?
00:59:38I'm the one that did that.
00:59:39I poisoned his drink so that Chef Tony would get the highest score and I took their chefs,
00:59:44all right?
00:59:44She, she, she, she, still rises, that little fucking pizza girl.
00:59:51I should kill you.
00:59:55They're gonna kill me.
00:59:57Hey, boss.
01:00:16I just saw Axel run off.
01:00:19The winner was announced.
01:00:22You gotta be shit with me.
01:00:24Yeah, we'll hand that one from here.
01:00:27Home one.
01:00:31Huh.
01:00:34It's time for Axel to go swimming with the fishes.
01:00:46Okay, now you two stand in front of your sign because we need a photo of the first ever
01:00:51Doable Chefs to win this competition.
01:00:58There we go.
01:01:01Such a sexy couple.
01:01:03Thanks.
01:01:04Wait, are we?
01:01:14That's a yes, by the way.
01:01:18Can I get one with my dad in it?
01:01:21Absolutely.
01:01:31Congratulations.
01:01:36This is going to help us so much.
01:01:38Thank you again for your vote.
01:01:39I knew it the moment I saw your first plate.
01:01:52You've got talent.
01:01:54Both of you.
01:01:55I hate to say it, but I'm impressed.
01:01:59Thank you, Chef Leto.
01:02:01It means a lot coming from an extraordinary chef like yourself.
01:02:05You both have a bright future.
01:02:07I'd like to bring home under the Leto Fine Dining Management Group.
01:02:11That would be an honor, Chef.
01:02:17You'll have all the funding you need to keep this star of a restaurant going.
01:02:20And as for you, I'll reinstate your trust fund into the bank account tomorrow morning.
01:02:29Hold on.
01:02:32Hello.
01:02:33Hello.
01:02:35Really?
01:02:36But how?
01:02:40You don't say.
01:02:42Interesting.
01:02:45My assistant just informed me that all my restaurants are suddenly booked up for the next two years.
01:02:51Something about a photo my son uploaded with me in it.
01:02:55The internet's calling me Zaddy Leto.
01:02:58Maybe I can delay my flight so you can teach me how to make a post.
01:03:05What do you say?
01:03:07I'd say we have time for another bottle of wine and a recap.
01:03:12Maybe some dessert, too.
01:03:20We did it.
01:03:21Just the two of us.
01:03:23In our home.
01:03:25I have a special.
01:03:28Video I'd like to edit for you.
01:03:30The security footage?
01:03:33Yes.
01:03:34But you have to promise me to keep it private.
01:03:38I'll keep it safe.
01:03:40Just like how you've kept me.
