Short filmTranscript
00:00There's no one here. The streets are empty.
00:05Yeah, that's exactly why you're there. It's not New York.
00:09Brooks Point Harbor is the perfect place to lay low.
00:12Your reservation is under Gosling.
00:14Jason, just relax. Get some sleep. Try to enjoy it while you can.
00:18We're gonna have you back at Corwin Brothers before you know it.
00:21How many times have I gotta say it?
00:23I'm done with it. Or, it's done with me.
00:27Either way, my career is over.
00:29This is all gonna blow over.
00:31People are gonna forget about some stupid mistake
00:33the minute the next celebrity scandal breaks.
00:35That mistake was on national TV.
00:38Live in primetime. They're not just gonna forget.
00:41Yeah, and you shouldn't have been in that competition in the first place.
00:45Especially after what happened to your brother.
00:59Hi. I'm Laura.
01:03Welcome to the Brooks Point Inn.
01:05How can I help you?
01:07You didn't want an elevator?
01:09All right then, Mr. Gosling.
01:13Um, no relation.
01:15Let's get you checked in.
01:16So, are you in town for the festival?
01:18What festival?
01:19Is there always smoke billowing out of your kitchen?
01:22That's just five alarm dennings.
01:24Doing what she does best.
01:25Okay, well what she does best is gonna set us all up in flames.
01:28Mr.
01:29Thank you for calling Brooks Point Inn.
01:34This is Laura speaking.
01:35Oh, stupid hunk of junk.
01:38Okay, that hunk of junk is actually doing its job.
01:44Are you trying to burn the place down?
01:46Um, no, actually, I'm not.
01:48I mean, everything's under control.
01:50I'm just doing a little bit of baking here.
01:52Whoops!
01:53There we go.
01:55And, uh...
01:59Some scones.
02:00All under control.
02:01I see why they call you five alarm dennings.
02:06Hi, I'm so sorry.
02:07I don't normally greet guests this way.
02:11I'm Abby.
02:12I run Brooks Point Inn.
02:14I didn't realize smoke inhalation was part of the complimentary service.
02:18Next show starts at five.
02:23Um, and you are?
02:24Jay.
02:29I knew if I followed the smoke I'd find my granddaughter.
02:32Grand, are you all right? Is everything okay?
02:35I was gonna ask you the same thing.
02:36Oh.
02:38Oh, hello dear.
02:40I'm Alice.
02:41I see you've already met my granddaughter.
02:43Yeah.
02:44I'm hoping that our home will suffice for your temporary home away from home.
02:49Why won't you be staying alone?
02:51Oh, I hope you reconsider.
02:53The smoke will clear, dear, at all.
02:55If you'd like to follow me, I can get you settled in.
02:57Into one of our non-smoking rooms.
02:59How are you?
03:00Okay.
03:01Come.
03:02You good?
03:03Yeah.
03:04Well, Graham, I don't know if it's such a good idea that I take over for Matilda as chef.
03:16I think that you can do anything you set your mind to.
03:25What are your thoughts on hiring an extra set of hands, just one person to help Brad out?
03:30Because I know he's run off his feet. He's so busy, he doesn't have time to fix everything.
03:36Graham, is everything okay?
03:38Oh, yes.
03:41Well...
03:42Graham, what is it? Do you need an ambulance?
03:44The inn's out of money.
03:48I've used my personal savings to balance the books for over a year.
03:54And I've neglected paying the property taxes for a few years.
04:00I wanted to tell you, but I really thought I had everything under control.
04:05It's okay, I'm sure it's not that bad.
04:08Oh, it's worse.
04:10This is my home.
04:11And I can't even imagine living anywhere else.
04:15Oh, Abby, I'm so sorry.
04:17Oh, Graham, it's okay. I know. I know this is your home. I...
04:21Let me take a look at the books. I'm sure I can shuffle some numbers around.
04:25$43,000 is an awful lot of shuffling.
04:28Leave it with me. I'll think of something. I promise.
04:31Okay.
04:32Okay?
04:33You have one saved voice message.
04:41Hey, just about to board. I want you to know the meeting went great. They loved our ideas. Man, there's the craziest sunset at the airport. Makes me excited for tomorrow. I'll call you when we land.
04:56Oh, great.
05:00Nice to see you, too.
05:02Sorry, I was just hoping to do some thinking on my love seat for a bit.
05:06Your love seat? I didn't see your name on it.
05:09No, not my name, but my parents.
05:11They used to hang out here quite a bit. This was kind of their spot.
05:15Anyway, I don't want to interrupt your cell phone time, so...
05:20Plenty of room for two.
05:28I'm sorry about your parents.
05:30Oh, it happened a long time ago.
05:34I wear their wedding rings so I feel closer to them.
05:38I always feel so calm here.
05:40I bet your lungs do. Five a lot.
05:44Five a lot.
05:45I guess I'll never live that one down.
05:49Listen, about earlier, I'm sorry for the way things were handled. I know you were just trying to help.
05:54I shouldn't have been so rude. I was just on edge. It was a long trip.
06:00Thanks.
06:01So, where did you travel from?
06:04New York.
06:05Okay. And what brings you here?
06:07Free will. Just somebody else's.
06:10Okay.
06:11Before you leave, though, you have to do yourself a favor. Try our diner's BLT.
06:17It's so, so good. It's to die for.
06:20Diner and dying. I can see how they go together.
06:24Oh, come on. You live in New York. You're telling me you don't like diners?
06:28New York is some of the finest restaurants in the world.
06:30Why would I eat at a diner? I've never eaten at a diner. Never will.
06:36You have never...
06:38Okay, you have to go to a diner. You have to go to ours and try the BLT. It's the best.
06:43No, I don't. And how do you know it's the best BLT? I mean, how many diner BLTs have you tried?
06:48Okay, easy, Mr. Corwin.
06:53Corwin.
06:55The gosling didn't last long.
06:58I guess my days of being undercover are over.
07:01You should tilt your nose down once in a while.
07:05Otherwise, you'll miss what's going on around you. Or where you're at.
07:09Okay, that's not fair. Whatever you've read about me, you have no clue.
07:14I'm not assuming anything. You've made quite an impression here on your own already.
07:24I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you.
07:27Well, you did.
07:29Brooks Point Harbor means a lot to the people of this town.
07:33You don't get to come here and hide out from whatever terrible things you've done
07:37and then judge anything you're not willing to experience yourself.
07:40Anyway, I have somewhere I have to be.
07:44Take a little Beretti and about five. Coffee?
07:47Uh, no thanks. I'm running on natural jitters today.
07:49The camera odds ten pounds, see?
07:50Hey, Joanie, have you seen this?
07:51Christmas Chef Showdown?
07:52Grand Pride.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Yeah.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Yeah.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Yeah.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Yeah.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Do librosmatrevoda.
08:18Grand prize of $50,000.
08:20Nothing to sniff at, huh?
08:21They want a mystery competitor.
08:23A local amateur cook to compete against their big name chefs.
08:26Amateur as in no talent required?
08:29It is a televised event.
08:31I could do this.
08:33I have an interview.
08:36In a cooking contest.
08:39What, Squch sardines again?
08:42That fish was flambéed.
08:44I don't think so.
08:46But if you did participate,
08:48having one of our oldest businesses
08:50would be great in my advertising.
08:51Yes, it would be amazing advertising for the end,
08:54plus $50,000.
08:56You have to win to get that.
09:09You know what?
09:10I'll take two strawberry milkshakes to go, please.
09:13Thanks.
09:14Do you have to keep playing with that thing?
09:19I don't have to, but if I don't fix it,
09:22this whole place will burn down.
09:23I'll try to be faster.
09:26Strawberry milkshakes.
09:28Uh-oh, what's going on?
09:30Oh, you know, it's Christmas.
09:32You two have been doing amazing work lately.
09:35And?
09:36And I'm hoping you're willing to do a little extra hard work
09:38this coming week.
09:40So we're not hiring more help?
09:41What does extra mean?
09:43Just a couple of hours a day.
09:46I'm planning on entering the cooking competition in the festival.
09:48What, more charred cheesecake?
09:52Very funny.
09:54So take a look at this.
09:55They are looking for a local contestant.
09:57If I'm selected, there will be two other competitors,
10:00which means I have actually really good odds at winning this thing.
10:03You know the other two competitors are actual chefs, right?
10:06Professionals.
10:06I know that, but they specify that they want...
10:09So take a look at this.
10:10They are looking for a local contestant.
10:12If I'm selected, there will be two other competitors,
10:15which means I have actually really good odds at winning this thing.
10:18You know the other two competitors are actual chefs, right?
10:21Professionals.
10:21I know that, but they specify that they want local talent,
10:25which means they probably just want some charm and fun,
10:28which I will bring.
10:29How exactly are you going to learn to cook in a week?
10:33Online tutorials.
10:35Matilda's cookbooks.
10:36I have a kitchen at my disposal.
10:37Okay, I know I'm not the best chef in the world.
10:41I get a little distracted,
10:43but if I have something to focus on,
10:45I'll be able to move mountains.
10:48Okay, you know I'm all about self-improvement
10:50and you becoming less of a fire hazard.
10:53But why on earth do you want to do this?
10:58We need this $50,000.
11:01The Inn's in a little bit of trouble.
11:03I was speaking with my grandma,
11:05who's been trying to balance the books.
11:07But it's bad.
11:08It's really bad, but
11:10if I win this prize money,
11:13this will at least bring us out of the red.
11:15The Inn actually close?
11:17Not if I win this competition.
11:20I guess I could help Laura out with the guest services.
11:22Seems easy enough.
11:24I can help Brad with repairs.
11:26Have you ever held a hammer in your life?
11:27A hammer?
11:28What's a hammer?
11:30What's a girl to do?
11:32I know, I know this is a really big ask,
11:35but I can't do this without you.
11:37Okay, first step.
11:41Name.
11:42Abby Dennings.
11:45Easy.
11:46That's a lot of fine print.
11:48Are you a professional chef?
11:50I'm gonna go ahead and click the no box on that one.
11:53What's next?
11:55Application not processed
11:57until full payment of entrance fee received.
12:00$500?
12:04What?
12:04Who has $500 lying around?
12:07You could have a bake sale.
12:08Sell 500 burned scones.
12:10No, the application deadline is tonight at midnight.
12:12I don't have time to burn that many scones.
12:16Abby, no.
12:18You better get to cooking.
12:19I need you to teach me how to cook.
12:37I need you to teach me how to cook.
12:38I'm not a chef anymore.
12:40Whatever, you still know how to cook.
12:41And apparently I'm also a snob.
12:43I know I'm being a little pushy right now,
12:45and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier.
12:48You actually?
12:49Look, I'm not asking you to be my friend.
12:51I know I really irritate you,
12:53but what I am asking for is a teacher.
12:55I'm really hoping to enter a cooking competition
12:59in the By the Bay Christmas Food Festival next week.
13:01Food Festival?
13:04Gary.
13:06Oh, come on.
13:07You're already bored out of your mind.
13:08You've been here for less than a day.
13:10You've got to find something to do.
13:12It's not going to be you cooking.
13:13It's going to be me,
13:14and it's not like I need to cook for the president.
13:16I just need to learn how to not set things on fire
13:18and not poison anybody.
13:20Yeah, sorry.
13:20It's a steep landing curve.
13:23Gary.
13:23Yeah, it's your favorite client here.
13:26Just wondering why his overpaid lawyer
13:27dropped him off in the one place
13:28that's hosting a Christmas food festival.
13:31Call me back.
13:32So that's it?
13:34Look, it's within your best interest
13:36not to be associated with me right now.
13:38Is it true?
13:40Did you cheat on that cooking competition?
13:44It's not a tough question.
13:46No one's actually ever asked me that before.
13:48My brother's memory was on the line.
13:49I barely even remember making the decision.
13:52Do you regret it?
13:52Every day.
13:54People make mistakes all the time.
13:57Celebrities are not.
13:58Scandals like mine kill careers.
14:00I've completely undone everything
14:02that David worked so hard for.
14:04You can't bring your brother back,
14:05but you can do everything in your power
14:07to continue his legacy.
14:09I've been ousted by my own company.
14:12I'm completely toxic within the industry.
14:16Nobody wants me.
14:16I want you.
14:21If I agree to this,
14:23you've got to know it's going to be long hours.
14:25Yes.
14:26Yes, I'll do anything.
14:27It'll be demanding and stressful,
14:29and you're probably going to hate me
14:30even more by the end of this.
14:32Yes.
14:32Yes.
14:33Sorry.
14:40This is going to be a lot of hard work, okay?
14:44Yes, chef.
14:45And we also need to find another kitchen
14:47away from the inn.
14:48You are far too distracted.
14:50I know just the place.
14:51Cheryl's behind the cafe across the street.
14:53Okay, we start first thing in the morning.
14:557 a.m. sharp.
14:57Do not be late.
14:59I will not be late.
15:01Hold the knife handle in the palm of your hands.
15:05You want to keep your thumb pressed against the plate.
15:08You want to try and keep the knife on the chopping board.
15:11Smooth motions.
15:14Okay?
15:16Okay.
15:16Chef, do you ever think I'll be able to chop air like you do?
15:20No.
15:24Slow and easy.
15:25No rushing.
15:28You want the curved side down.
15:30This hand,
15:31you're going to want back here in the cellulite.
15:33Away from the blade.
15:35And then just slow,
15:38easy movements.
15:41Smaller, more uniform pieces.
15:43Right, right.
15:44So it looks nice.
15:46Chef, does celery bleed?
15:48No, celery does not bleed.
15:53Number two,
15:54no shortcuts.
15:56Okay, these distractions,
15:57they can get you really hurt.
15:59But cuts do happen.
16:01So number three,
16:03get used to blood.
16:05I'm going to get the first aid kit.
16:08Okay, Chef,
16:08I think we might have another problem.
16:10Why now?
16:11What?
16:12What?
16:16It doesn't look deep.
16:18No, it's not that deep.
16:20No, I need stitches.
16:22Take care of that finger.
16:23I'm going to need it in the future.
16:25You're the best.
16:26Thank you, Cheryl.
16:29If you're not going to listen to me,
16:31there is no point in me teaching you.
16:33I am going to listen.
16:34I promise.
16:36Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:37No, lesson is done for today.
16:39We were just getting started.
16:40Your head is not in the game,
16:42and I need to reevaluate my plan.
16:45Study this tonight.
16:46The pitches will help you with your technique.
16:49Do you have one with dummies in the title?
16:51Dummies?
16:51Really?
16:52I wouldn't have agreed to help you
16:53if I thought that.
16:54Oh, now you got me feeling
16:56all warm and fuzzy inside.
16:58Or maybe I'm still feeling lightheaded.
17:01There is a test in the morning.
17:04Okay, well, fingers crossed.
17:05Finger crossed that I don't amputee
17:08to hit something tomorrow.
17:09That's not funny.
17:11Rule number four,
17:12no laughing in the kitchen.
17:14Preparing food for people
17:15is not a joke.
17:17It's an honor.
17:18Hey, why did you become a chef anyway?
17:20Be more occupied with yourself, Abby.
17:22If you want a chance
17:23at winning this competition,
17:25you need to find your purpose.
17:27Where's your focus at?
17:30Why do you need to win?
17:35Ah, not my friends' euchre.
17:43Ladies, enough with the table talk, please.
17:46Alice is my oldest friend.
17:48We don't table talk.
17:49We read each other's minds.
17:51Well, that's still cheating.
17:54Jason.
17:55Jason.
17:58I was just going to get some fresh air
18:00when I had the snapper cards at the table.
18:02You have good hearing.
18:04Well, they're here professionals.
18:05People who do anything to win.
18:07Yes.
18:08Fueled by tea and cookies.
18:10You have me at tea.
18:11Really?
18:12You're a tea connoisseur
18:13like the rest of us?
18:14Caffeine anything.
18:15I respect that.
18:17You were right.
18:18I need to focus on what's important.
18:21This?
18:24This right here
18:24is why I need to win this competition.
18:26The Inn isn't just my home.
18:27It's a cornerstone in our community.
18:29And winning that prize money
18:31is going to keep it that way.
18:31Remember that
18:34for tomorrow's lesson.
18:37Jason.
18:38Join us for a round.
18:40You should take my place.
18:41I have to make more tea.
18:42Can she make tea, Alice?
18:44Is that safe?
18:45Ha ha ha.
18:46Yeah.
18:49Have you played much, you group?
18:51Not much.
18:55Cheers.
18:56Knuckles tucked from in.
19:07Come in.
19:16My grandkids are not going to believe
19:19I played cards with Jason Corwin.
19:21Would you be a dear
19:23and sign your cookbook
19:24for my granddaughter?
19:27Alice mentioned you were staying here.
19:30Perhaps now is not the best time.
19:41Thank you, dear.
19:41Well, it's been an absolute pleasure
19:46to meet you all.
19:49Thank you very much for the game.
19:58It's okay to let yourself grieve.
20:01It's better to feel the emotion
20:03than to try to sweep it away.
20:06Once you've felt the loss,
20:08you can begin to heal.
20:09Thank you, Alice.
20:14I just wish I knew how.
20:17Lean on your friends.
20:19You have more support than you know.
20:38So?
20:39Is he better than me?
20:48Good.
20:49Very good.
20:52Smaller sizes.
20:53Remember, uniform slices.
20:55Right.
20:56Right.
20:57So, why did you sneak away
20:59so early last night?
21:01Okay, the kitchen needs
21:02discipline and restraint.
21:04Not gossip.
21:05It's not gossip.
21:06I just, I saw you having fun last night.
21:09It was nice to see you
21:09let your hair down a little bit.
21:11Okay, just focus on the work.
21:13I'm trying to focus.
21:14Would you lighten up?
21:16I feel like I'm walking on eggshells here.
21:18Sorry, but this isn't the place
21:20to get personal.
21:21I'm just saying,
21:22we don't have to spend the day
21:23chopping in brooding silence.
21:25You know, you can have some conversation
21:27with somebody who's trying to be your friend.
21:29You said you wanted a tea check,
21:32not a friend.
21:33Whoa.
21:34You played cards with my grandma last night.
21:36I'm sorry, we're friends now.
21:38Jason, you're helping me.
21:41Maybe I can help you a little bit.
21:42But, Abby, enough!
21:43Okay, now we are literally
21:47both walking on eggshells.
21:49Jason, why are you so hurt on yourself?
21:52Let's just clean up and move on.
21:58What are you doing?
21:59You are wound way too tight.
22:00You need to let loose a little bit.
22:02Stop it.
22:03Not until you drop one.
22:05On purpose.
22:05I mean, that is not gonna happen.
22:07You can't just shut down all the time.
22:08It's okay to laugh a little bit
22:09when life gets messy.
22:11I'm not gonna laugh.
22:12I'm ticked off.
22:13Well, that's a lot of anger
22:14over some broken eggs.
22:16You are the most...
22:16It's okay to be angry for a while.
22:19Grief is a process,
22:20but you can't just...
22:21Save it, all right?
22:22I know all about grief.
22:24Why do you think I'm here
22:25when everything that ever meant
22:26anything to me is in New York?
22:28Yesterday you asked me
22:29why I became a chef.
22:30It was David's dream.
22:32We did everything together.
22:33Same school, same job.
22:35I didn't want to do anything else
22:37because I knew
22:37whatever we did together,
22:39we'd be great at.
22:40I didn't just lose David.
22:43I lost half of myself.
22:47Well, if that's true,
22:48then you still have
22:48half of yourself left.
22:50We can't choose
22:51what happens in our lives,
22:53but we can choose
22:53what happens moving forward.
22:55Maybe it's time
22:56that you find a new path.
22:58I don't know who I am
22:59without him.
23:01You're Jason Corwin,
23:03and that's enough.
23:04You don't need to figure out
23:06everything today,
23:07but you can start
23:08by being yourself,
23:10an imperfect human being
23:12like the rest of us.
23:13So, stew on that.
23:18Okay, how did that feel?
23:20Better than anger.
23:22Yes.
23:24All right, what's next?
23:25I suppose
23:26scrambled eggs.
23:28Oh,
23:29sounds egg-cellent.
23:32That's a terrible pun,
23:33but I appreciate the egg-foot.
23:35Jenna,
23:48what are you doing
23:50in Brooks Point Harbor?
23:51Jason?
23:52Hey,
23:53you're the last person
23:54I thought I'd see here.
23:56Oh,
23:56a little higher on the left.
23:58What?
23:59I work for TNCN now.
24:01They're the festival sponsor.
24:03Roger sent me down
24:03to do set-up
24:04and to ensure
24:05the town was acceptable
24:06for his stay.
24:07Well, that's generous.
24:08I call it difficult
24:09or belligerent.
24:11Well,
24:11off the record,
24:12he's even worse
24:13after his promotion.
24:15He's so busy
24:15with the Corwin brothers, too.
24:17Yeah,
24:18or Roger.
24:19Right, well,
24:20I got a lot of Roger's details
24:21to take care of.
24:22It was nice seeing you.
24:35How's my favorite client?
24:37Did you set me up
24:38putting me in the same town
24:39as Roger?
24:40Jason, look,
24:41I knew about the festival,
24:42but I didn't know
24:43that he was running it.
24:44Although,
24:45this could be
24:46a good opportunity for you.
24:48Do you hear
24:48what you just said?
24:50He's no longer my rival.
24:51He's just moved
24:52straight on into enemy.
24:53I'm getting the first flight
24:54out of here.
24:55I'm not going to sell
25:00to some big chain.
25:02Besides,
25:02I'm not going to have
25:03to sell at all.
25:04Abby's going to win the money
25:05and pay off our debts.
25:06Abby can barely boil water.
25:08She only has a chance
25:09of getting chosen
25:10because she's a pretty local
25:11with a historical cause.
25:13Plus,
25:13she'll be against top chefs.
25:15I believe in her.
25:17You need to think about
25:17what's best for the future.
25:18If I get you a substantial offer,
25:20you can live comfortably
25:21the rest of your life.
25:22You're impossible.
25:24So are you.
25:25Abby?
25:28Mary Joan,
25:29I hope to get that
25:29water boiling technique
25:30on lockdown.
25:31I'm sure you will.
25:36Fran, I'm sorry
25:37you had to listen
25:37to that nonsense.
25:39I'm afraid she has a point.
25:41The bank is not going
25:42to wait forever
25:43before they foreclose.
25:44No, no, no.
25:45Gran, Gran,
25:45please don't sell just yet.
25:48The ads at the festival
25:49are going to bring in
25:50more guests.
25:51Plus, my practicing
25:52has been going really well.
25:53Look at these cookies.
25:54They're not burnt.
25:54Not even one of them.
25:55I believe you can win,
25:57but the fact is,
25:58if you don't,
26:00I'll have no other choice
26:01but to sell.
26:02Tsk.
26:02Tsk.
26:02Tsk.
26:03Tsk.
26:12Tsk.
26:13Tsk.
26:13Tsk.
26:14Tsk.
26:14Tsk.

26:18Tsk.
26:18Tsk.
26:18Tsk.
26:19Tsk.
26:19Tsk.
26:19Abby, I, um, is everything okay?
26:28Oh, yeah.
26:29Yeah, no, I'm just practicing outside of school hours, chef.
26:32Cutting onions.
26:34Burning onions more likely.
26:37The pan is way too hot.
26:39Might as well just throw it out and start again.
26:40Right, I forgot.
26:42Medium-low heat for caramelization, right?
26:44Right.
26:45Hey, do you want a glass?
26:46Yes, I may not know the difference between my kale and my collards,
26:50but I take my wine very seriously.
26:56Cheers.
26:59Come on in.
27:07See, you have all the big names out tonight.
27:10It's good that you're doing the research.
27:14Abby, you're not cutting onions anymore.
27:16What's up?
27:20I told you finances were tight.
27:22If I don't win this competition,
27:23my grandma's going to have to sell the inn
27:25to one of those big chain motels in town.
27:28It's a lot of pressure to put in yourself.
27:31And that's just the half of it.
27:34You know, if she has to sell, I'll lose my job.
27:36My grandma's in the early stages of Parkinson's,
27:39and this is her last connection to my parents and my grandpa, too.
27:44So it's just really important for her mental health that she stay in the inn.
27:49Why do you keep doing that?
27:56Where's your necklace?
27:57I used the rings to raise the entrance fee for the competition,
28:03so if I lose, the rings are gone, too.
28:08How about that?
28:09Dinner and a show.
28:11It would be great for distraction management.
28:13The key is to breathe.
28:15Quiet the mind.
28:16The competition is going to be chaotic and noisy,
28:19so you might as well get used to it.
28:22Should I get some wooden spoons and pots and pans for your enjoyment?
28:26Hands off, I swear.
28:41Okay, not bad.
28:44I'm sorry.
28:45It definitely could have used a lot more cheese.
28:46No apologies, no excuses.
28:49Whatever you put in front of someone is your masterpiece.
28:52Be proud of it.
28:54Okay, chef, honest opinion.
28:56What did you think of this masterpiece?
29:00The pasta could have used two more minutes,
29:02but other than that, it was pretty good.
29:06I have a question for you about your competition.
29:10How did you get disqualified?
29:12My popovers didn't rise two minutes before the buzzer went off,
29:16and my sous-chef offered his rosemary potatoes.
29:20Marcus later denied that he offered them to me
29:23and that he played any part in it.
29:25I was publicly shamed, and he got his own TV show.
29:28That doesn't seem right.
29:30I shouldn't have been in the competition anyway.
29:32I was not in a good place after my brother died,
29:34but Roger persuaded me to do it,
29:36to honor David's memory.
29:38Well, I never had the pleasure of knowing David,
29:43but I think Jason Corwin's pretty great.
29:48Well, I should get going.
29:517 a.m. show.
29:53Crash course on main courses.
29:56You need to make sure you save the inn.
29:58Keep tomorrow night open for a field trip.
30:03I think you and I could use some fresh air
30:05after all this smoke inhalation that's been going on.
30:08Good. Field trip it is.
30:10Great.
30:11I'll pick you up at 8.
30:12Everyone's wondering where you've been.
30:22And here you are.
30:25Well, thank you both for a delightful dinner.
30:27Abby, I'll have Chanel drop off your signed contract
30:29at the front desk.
30:30Although I'm not entirely certain
30:32I'll be proceeding with the competition.
30:34What?
30:37I need this.
30:39Sivarn's soul has pneumonia,
30:40which leaves me with Clara Tasker
30:42and you.
30:43Now, I need a professional second chef
30:45for my audience.
30:47I need...
30:48Wow.
30:49You're a local caller.
30:51And I know you hate every single project I do,
30:53but you are back in the kitchen, aren't you?
30:55Oh, Jason would love to step in.
30:58Done.
30:59Tomorrow.
31:002 o'clock.
31:02Okay.
31:03I know I shouldn't have jumped in,
31:04but this will give you a chance to clear your name.
31:07Abby, I don't want to compete against you.
31:08Jason, you are at your happiest
31:10when you are cooking in a kitchen.
31:12You belong on that stage.
31:15Do this for you.
31:24That's great.
31:27Okay, and turn right.
31:29Okay.
31:30Go in.
31:31You're almost there.
31:32Really?
31:33Okay, and sit to your left.
31:36No peeking.
31:37A lot.
31:44And open your eyes.
31:50So, what can I get for you guys today?
31:52Two BLTs on rye, please, Gail.
31:55Sure.
31:55What?
31:58The Jason Corwin in a diner?
32:00Well, I hear the BLTs are to die for.
32:04I also hear Gail got some of your famous Christmas pudding.
32:08Easy.
32:08You're not getting that recipe.
32:10It's a family secret.
32:11All right, so we've got two BLTs on rye,
32:17and two strawberry shakes on the house.
32:20And the famous pudding.
32:25Ah.
32:30Unbelievable.
32:31Abby, you need to get to the hospital.
32:36Alice had a spell.
32:43Grant, what happened?
32:45I tripped on the area rug in my room,
32:47and I knocked my head on the table by the door.
32:50Were you feeling dizzy again?
32:52No, Abby, I just tripped.
32:54It's nothing to fuss about.
32:55We don't know that.
32:57Grant, I need you to be okay.
32:59And I am, okay, Abby, really.
33:02But there is one thing I would like to get off my chest.
33:07I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
33:10My symptoms aren't severe at the moment,
33:12but I haven't felt comfortable
33:14leaving the inn for a few weeks.
33:18I didn't tell you
33:19because I didn't want you treating me any differently.
33:23And Oscar,
33:25I'm still going to beat you at Euchre.
33:27Badly.
33:29I know you will, Alice.
33:31I know you will.
33:33We'll face whatever's coming together,
33:35as we always have.
33:37Mm-hmm.
33:38Absolutely.
33:44You should see him in the kitchen.
33:46He's so confident.
33:48He knows exactly what he's doing.
33:49He's just, he's so passionate.
33:52Abby, you like him.
33:54Well, he's just,
33:56he'll have to go back to his life eventually.
34:01Last week you wanted me to stay.
34:02Now you want me to come home.
34:04What's changed?
34:05Roger's frozen line is hurting the brand.
34:08The board wants you back on as chairman.
34:10Why do I want to go back to everything
34:11that made me so miserable?
34:13Roger is hawking discounted frozen foods
34:15made with the cheapest ingredients he can find
34:17from who knows what sources under your name.
34:20That can't sit right with you, Jason.
34:22Of course it doesn't.
34:24Well, then you need to head up your own company.
34:30Email me their proposal.
34:32I bumped into Roger.
34:33Long story short,
34:34I'm in the TNCN competition.
34:36What?
34:37Arnison pulled out.
34:38They needed a replacement.
34:39I'm here.
34:40It was last minute.
34:41Just be careful.
34:43I know.
34:43Abby Dennings.
34:49Table for one?
34:50Well, look who it is.
34:52What are you doing by yourself?
34:54The two lovebirds are over there by the pie table.
34:59Laura and Brad?
35:01Nice.
35:03How about a date to the crepe table
35:05with a scandal-ridden, moody ex-chef?
35:08I'm okay with scandal-ridden and moody,
35:11but what kind of crepes are we talking about?
35:13Ladies' choice.
35:15Whipped cream.
35:16That's your choice.
35:19Okay, forget it.
35:20Date's off.
35:21What?
35:21Why?
35:22You can have fresh berries,
35:24cured ham,
35:24jams,
35:25and you choose whipped cream.
35:27You have the palate of a six-year-old.
35:30Six-year-olds know what's up.
35:33Howie.
35:33Howie.
35:43There are so many people here right now.
35:50The whole town is behind you.
35:53A very charming Michelin star chef
35:55is also rooting for you.
35:57Okay.
35:58I'm ready when you are.
36:00Ready.
36:02Graham!
36:03Halloween!
36:05Are you sure you're up for this?
36:06You've had such a long day already.
36:08Okay.
36:09Either you want me to get out more,
36:11or you don't.
36:13But don't go changing your mind on me.
36:15I'm sorry.
36:16We love you.
36:17We love you.
36:20Go get them.
36:22We're going to go get your seats.
36:23Okay.
36:23Okay.
36:24Okay.
36:28Hi.
36:29I'm...

36:33I'm just...
36:34I'm a huge fan of yours.

36:38Oh, you know,
36:40a couple weeks.
36:43Good luck.
36:48I don't know if I can do this.
36:50Yes, you can.
36:51Win or lose,
36:52you're going to do it spectacularly.
36:54Remember,
36:55when you're up there,
36:56it is just you and the ingredients.
36:58Nothing else matters.
37:00You're going to be great.

40:45Just a few more seconds

40:50but it did not.

41:08Chef Corwin,
41:09I'm sorry.
41:11Your family Christmas
41:12is done.
41:13Thank you for having me
41:14in your kitchen,
41:15Chef Aiton.
41:16An executive chef
41:17versus an aspiring cook
41:19will win
41:20if anyone gets.
41:23Guts,
41:24let's take a break.
41:25Thank you very much.
41:29Eat some of the gingerbread cookies.
41:31There's still no way.
41:33Wave to my grandkids.
41:36Abby,
41:37great work out there.
41:39Thanks.
41:40Jason was instrumental
41:41in helping me prepare
41:42for the competition.
41:43I bet.
41:44He's a master of flavor
41:45and texture.
41:45I miss working with him.
41:47You should speak with him.
41:49I know.
41:52Marcus,
41:54would you excuse us?
41:55Nice chatting with you.
41:59You're doing wonderfully
42:00in this competition,
42:01actually far beyond
42:02my expectations.
42:03Thank you?
42:05There is one little detail
42:06that's kind of bothering me,
42:08though.
42:09When you signed the contract,
42:10you stated that you never
42:11hired anyone from TNCN,
42:13and yet that's not entirely true,
42:15right?
42:16Yes, it is.
42:18You paid Jason
42:19to cook for your guests.
42:20I saw it with my own eyes.
42:23Are you talking about
42:24that pocket change thing?
42:25Because that was a total joke.
42:26And besides,
42:27Jason doesn't work
42:28for TNCN anymore.
42:29You canceled his show.
42:30Bonaire or not
42:31is still on the contract.
42:34Which,
42:35for you, my dear,
42:36constitutes
42:37a violation of contract.
42:39Roger,
42:40I have to compete
42:41in this competition.
42:41Oh, no, no.
42:42I'm not kicking you
42:43out of the competition.
42:44However,
42:45I need Clara to win.
42:48So let me get this straight.
42:50You want me to lose on purpose?
42:52Or what,
42:53you'll expose me
42:54on national TV
42:55due to some clerical error?
42:56Do you really think
42:57that Jason can withstand
42:58another scandal?
43:00Because it is exactly
43:03what's going to happen
43:03if this involvement
43:04comes to light.
43:07Jason had nothing
43:08to do with this.
43:10I was the one
43:10who signed that contract.
43:12It doesn't matter.
43:13I will make the public
43:14believe what I want them
43:15to believe
43:16and perceptions
43:16of wrongdoing
43:17and would only ensure
43:18that Jason never sets foot
43:20in a professional kitchen
43:21again.
43:22This is disgusting.
43:23This is business, Abby.
43:25I am looking forward
43:26to seeing your dessert.
43:28Stacks.
43:29Welcome back.
43:33It's time for
43:34our final challenge.
43:35The sweetest part
43:36of any meal.
43:37Dessert.
43:38Contestants,
43:3960 minutes
43:40starting now.
43:41smells like Christmas
43:56on this stage.
43:59I just like to leave
43:59your limit
44:00to raise your
44:01Christmas joy
44:03and bring it
44:04yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:06Come on.
44:07Mmm.
44:08Smells like Christmas
44:10on this stage.
44:11And the winner
44:12of the Christmas
44:13Chef Showdown
44:15brought to you
44:15by the National
44:16Cooking Network
44:17with a perfect score
44:19for dessert.
44:21Abby Dennings!
44:22What did I do?
44:28What did I do?
44:30Thank you!
44:32Thank you so much!
44:34Wow!
44:36Our home cook
44:37meets two top chefs.
44:39Unbelievable!
44:40Tell us about
44:41your winning dessert.
44:41To be honest,
44:44I lucked out
44:44with the Christmas theme
44:45and I made
44:47my grandma's
44:47Christmas mini puddings.
44:49My family has enjoyed
44:50this recipe
44:51for generations.
44:52I love you, Gran.
44:55Any plans
44:56for the $50,000?
44:59Yes.
45:01I plan to save
45:02our home,
45:03the historic
45:04Brooks Point Inn.
45:07Okay.
45:07Cut.
45:09Abby.
45:10Backstage.
45:11Did you really
45:14think I wasn't
45:15serious?
45:16That I wouldn't
45:16destroy him?
45:18I'm sending
45:19that press release.
45:21Oh, Roger.
45:22You know how
45:23older people
45:23are really bad
45:24with technology?
45:25What?
45:26Well, that's a myth.
45:28My friend Eloise
45:29just bought
45:29a new SD card.
45:30She likes to take
45:31a lot of videos.
45:31And she just sent
45:32me this.
45:34Of you threatening me.
45:35You know it's bogus.
45:37But do you think
45:38that Jason can
45:38withstand another scandal?
45:40Because it is
45:41exactly what's
45:42going to happen
45:42in this world
45:43when it comes to
45:43flight.
45:45Jason has nothing
45:46to do with this.
45:47I signed that contract.
45:48It doesn't matter.
45:49Only...
45:50Mmm.
45:59Chips.
46:00Crisps.
46:03Where should I put it?
46:04Roger really is a piece
46:08of work.
46:10I'm sorry he did
46:11that to you.
46:15Marcus?
46:16Hey, Jason.
46:18It was good to see you
46:19back in the kitchen.
46:21It was good to see you
46:21too.
46:22Jason, I'm sorry.
46:25I never had the guts
46:26to tell you the truth.
46:26your popovers didn't rise
46:29because I replaced the
46:31all-purpose flour
46:31with pastry flour.
46:34You what?
46:35I sabotaged you.
46:36Then I suggested you
46:37use what I cooked.
46:39I appreciate you
46:40telling me that.
46:42It's one more star,
46:43boss.
46:45Best Christmas ever.
46:46You got your parents'
46:49rings back?
46:50I did.
46:52Just in time
46:52for Christmas.
46:54I know we still
46:55have one more day,
46:56but I ran into Santa
46:57and he told me
46:58to give you this.
47:05So does this mean
47:06Santa likes to cook?
47:07Of course.
47:08How else would he get
47:09Mrs. Pauls to say yes?
47:11This book has inspired
47:13many great cooks.
47:16Many great cooks
47:17is right.
47:21So we don't normally
47:23exchange gifts
47:23until Christmas morning,
47:25but Gran wanted me
47:27to give you these.
47:28You cut.
47:29Yeah.
47:30I've been practicing
47:31with Oscar.
47:36I love you.
47:39I love you too.
47:42Merry Christmas.
