00:00The cast of Wake Up Dead Man, a Knives Out Mystery, will be competing in challenges testing their culinary skills.

00:06Who will be the last one standing?

00:10I'm not bad. I cook.

00:13But this isn't cooking. We're doing weird challenges.

00:16That's a very different skill set, my friend.

00:20Wake up, dead man. You are a kitchen servant.

00:23Your boss starts their day with a glass of orange juice.

00:26Choose your tool and squeeze juice from the oranges into the bowl.

00:31I'm going to do the squishy thingy. I like the squishy thingy, please.

00:33No, no, no. I want the squishy thingy.

00:34You didn't speak up.

00:35You have 30 seconds.

00:36This is a strength game.

00:37Then you must weigh your bowl.

00:39First place gets two points.

00:41Second place gets one point.

00:43Third place gets zero points.

00:47You know what would win?

00:48Like an automatic one.

00:49Like those that you just put the thing in and it goes out.

00:51Yeah, like a machine.

00:52Yes.

00:52This makes me nervous.

00:56Is this nerve-wracking? Oh, God.

00:59I'm going to lose.

01:01I don't think so.

01:02But you're going so fast.

01:04Maybe I'm sorry.

01:05It's speed, right?

01:05This might be 30 seconds.

01:07How long do you have?

01:0830 seconds.

01:11Oh, my God.

01:11It's sitting everywhere.

01:13The orange in my eye.

01:14Right?

01:17Look, that's kind of funny all on its own.

01:19Feel good about this.

01:23These are good oranges.

01:24It's hard work, isn't it?

01:25Oh.

01:27Okay.

01:28He cheated!

01:29You said so much!

01:30Oh, my God!

01:32No, but guys, can I just say that this device works differently to your device?

01:36You can go directly in.

01:37I don't care.

01:38I have to build up and plan.

01:38He said stop and you didn't stop.

01:39Wow.

01:40I think I've actually won.

01:41You've won!

01:42What was yours?

01:54911.5 What's yours?

01:59977.

02:01The pulp.

02:02The pulp is heavier.

02:03I don't want to go.

02:04I don't want to go.

02:05It's all right, Katie.

02:10Okay.

02:11What is it?

02:12933.

02:15Wait.

02:16How is that possible?

02:17This is me.

02:18What are you doing?

02:20Yeah.

02:21911.

02:22But how is it?

02:23But wait.

02:24Put it next to each other.

02:25It is defying logic.

02:28Logically speaking, guys.

02:35I think that this is rigged.

02:37Oh my God.

02:41Guys.

02:44How are we going to prove otherwise?

02:46How is it possible?

02:47Proof's in the pudding.

02:48That this is heavier than this.

02:51I don't want to challenge.

02:52I'm here to have fun.

02:53I'm merely pointing out that this is rigged.

03:01The Red Herring.

03:02You are a sushi master.

03:04Use the tools and ingredients to create a perfect tuna avocado maki roll.

03:10Nori, rice, tuna, and avocado.

03:13Place your roll onto the plate and pick up one piece of sushi using the chopsticks.

03:19First place gets six points.

03:21Second place gets three points.

03:23Third place gets zero points.

03:27Is it speed or quality?

03:29It's speed.

03:30Speed.

03:31Oh, let's go.

03:32Wait, no.

03:33It has to look like a roll of sushi.

03:34Yeah, it has to hold up.

03:35You've got to be specific.

03:36No, that's good to establish that.

03:41Oh.

03:43Rice first?

03:44I think so.

03:45That was what the video said.

03:46I'm not helping you, Josh O'Connor.

03:51I think I put in too much avocado.

03:53All right, now what do you do with this?

03:55Oh wait, they used this guy.

03:57It went like this.

03:59Oh, .

04:02Oh, .

04:03Oh, no.

04:04What?

04:07Wait, this isn't working.

04:08Wait.

04:09Wait.

04:11Knives out.

04:12Get it.

04:13Oh, this is going to fall apart.

04:17You're missing.

04:18You're supposed to cut it on the cutting board.

04:20Cheater.

04:25Guys!

04:26Yo, why are you so smart?

04:28Just doing it with care.

04:29I believe the making of sushi is supposed to be a meditative act.

04:32I guarantee this tastes better than theirs.

04:35Don't eat the fish!

04:39She said don't eat it.

04:40Don't eat the fish.

04:41Just spit it out.

04:42Spit it out.

04:43Spit it out.

04:44Spit it out.

04:45Spit it out.

04:46If it's bad fish.

04:47The chef thinks it's fine.

04:48I think that's fine.

04:49Guys.

04:50All under control.

04:51That's so scary.

04:52What happened to Josh O'Connor?

04:53Well, he was doing epicurious competition and he ate a bad fish.

04:58I bet I'm sad that I lost.

05:01But I'm happy for my friends that they picked up some points.

05:04That one's...

05:05This one's pathetic.

07:11I'm still a bit confused about the orange juice task and why I didn't get six points.

07:24That's what you're confused about.

07:25Not the fact that the volume was off between Kayleigh and I.
