00:14Mmm. Nailed it.
00:18Nice.
00:19Oh my gosh, so good. Thanks, I...
00:21My blue lobster, my...
00:24My gourmet tuna!
00:26My treasures!
00:27Chef McFlambe, what's wrong?
00:28You used all my top-shelf shit?
00:33Well, why let the primo ingredients go to waste, you know?
00:36We're done.
00:37We're like a diet soda at a barbecue, completely empty.
00:40Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
00:43You could go down the mountain and make some cash.
00:46And there are endless ingredients down there, so you'll really shine.
01:06Watch out, world. Here I come.
01:11Vaughn has the prep for the culinary competition coming.
01:14Everything is on track.
01:28We have to find the culinary guru this time.
01:37Is the culinary guru really on this mountain?
01:43I'm starting to think God cursed me with an eating disorder for all of my hormone talent.
01:48What?
01:53Hey dude, what are you doing?
01:57I'm starving.
02:07Here.
02:08Try this.
02:10I am a renowned food critic.
02:12I would rather starve than eat something that looks like it was wrapped by a raccoon.
02:21Fine.
02:22Hope you don't regret it.
02:24What's in it?
02:26Just regular food.
02:27Just regular food.
02:29Now, show me.
02:29So now you want to try it?
02:31Pay me first.
02:35I am a legendary food critic.
02:38If I am even thinking about eating that, you should be rolling out the red carpet.
02:43Well, isn't this funny?
02:45The starving foodie.
02:47I never heard of you.
02:48How do I know you're not a fraud?
02:50Same deal.
02:51No cash.
02:52No food.
03:03Here you go.
03:16Well, it was a pleasure serving you today.
03:18I hope to see you again soon.
03:23It's just like that day.
03:25Oh!
03:26Boss!
03:27You're...
03:28You're eating again?
03:30A year ago,
03:31I was a skeleton on the street.
03:34And the culinary guru's food saved my life.
03:38Ever since then,
03:39I've never tasted anything like it.
03:41She mu-
03:45Bond,
03:45we have to find her.
03:47She might have some connection to the culinary guru.
03:55This jar is perfect for pickles.
03:57Mom,
03:58tell me why we brought this clueless country bumpkin home.
04:02You've always complained about your fiancé,
04:05that eating disorder guy,
04:07so why don't we have her marry into the Thompson family instead?
04:11So,
04:12if Alex marries Ira,
04:15when he kicks the bucket,
04:16we can snag his fortune through her?
04:19Smart girl.
04:21Just like your mother.
04:21Did you say fortune?
04:23Is my dad finally gonna kick the bucket and leave me some cash?
04:26You heartless brat.
04:28I found a great husband for you.
04:30Get yourself ready to marry him.
04:32No, I came down to make money,
04:34not get married.
04:36Someone like you,
04:37so poor and provincial,
04:39should be grateful that someone wants you.
04:47Oh, come on.
04:48Someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad.
04:50I'm far superior to you,
04:53so I wouldn't worry about me.
04:55Mom!
04:56Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage with the sickly Thompson heir.
05:00I'm here to handle this.
05:07What a handsome guy.
05:09Too bad he's on the verge of dying.
05:11Mr. Thompson,
05:12what brings you here?
05:13I heard Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement,
05:16so let's just call the wedding off.
05:19Wait, there must be a misunderstanding.
05:22This is Ira,
05:25the eldest daughter of the Williams family.
05:27She can represent the Williams family in marrying you.
05:31It's you.
05:34Miss, you know my boss?
05:36Yeah, I caught him on the brink of starvation,
05:39just near-
05:43One more word,
05:45and you're toast.
05:46Why can't I say anything?
05:47It's no secret you're starving.
05:51So on this day,
05:53he just collapsed right at my th-
05:54Miss Williams?
05:55You've convinced me.
05:56Let's get married.
06:15Hey Vaughn.
06:18What's with all the cash?
06:19You buying a farm?
06:20The boss is trying to tackle his eating disorder.
06:23I hired the top medical team,
06:24and this is their job.
06:27Eating disorder,
06:28that's easy peasy.
06:30Hand it over and I'll fix him up.
06:32What do you mean?
06:33You can send those doctors home,
06:35just give me the money and I'll handle the treatment.
06:44What are you doing?
06:45Alex,
06:46I'm gonna be your personal healing chef.
06:51You know nothing about it.
06:54How could you possibly cure me?
06:56You stop messing around,
06:58and just get out.
07:01Out.
07:22Well, they'll just stand there like a statue.
07:25Let's eat together.
07:26Try my food and you'll no longer look like a contestant
07:29on a survival reality TV show.
07:31Ugh.
07:32Look, I touched that.
07:33It's probably nasty as hell.
07:35Fine by me.
07:36Just don't come begging for it later.
07:44Yum yum!
07:45That is so ridiculously good!
07:53Hurry!
07:54Come eat!
07:55Irish cooking is out of this world!
08:02No.
08:03I'm good.
08:04I'm not hungry.
08:05Sri, you've got to hang in there!
08:08Another plate!
08:09No, make it too!
08:11Thank you for the best meal we've had in our entire lives!
08:15Oh, please.
08:16It's nothing.
08:19Hey, you pathetic self-important foodie.
08:23I wonder if you're drooling yet.
08:24I'm not hungry.
08:25You've got to hang in there.
08:28Yes, sir.
08:34Look at this, Horander.
08:39I want to hang out with you.
08:41You're going to hang out with me.
08:43I need my liquid nutrients.
08:49You're going to hang out with me.
08:54Look at my egg.
08:54It's so hot!
08:55Oh, the protein shakes are gone, I'll have something to do with something else.
09:03This looks pretty good.
09:05Weird I'm actually tempted to try it.
09:10It's not that I want to try it, I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
09:21It smells pretty good.
09:30Ira?
09:32Are you there?
09:40Ira?
09:43Ira?
09:44You sneaky cake burglar.
09:46I'm just taste testing.
09:48Well, I'm not stingy, you can have it, but you have to pay the cake tax.
10:00Get off me you wet towel
10:07Stuff to the brim
10:09The foodie ate his way into an eating disorder
10:18Alex my heart is racing
10:20What's happening to me?
10:25What a strange guy
10:35I don't know Alex
10:42She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy
11:06How dare you take advantage of me like that?
11:08What the heck was that for?
11:13Is it too late to apologize?
11:14Get out
11:20Are you mad?
11:33What?
11:35Don't worry sir
11:35We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice
11:39He'll be a judge and there might be news about the chef soon
11:48Don't worry
11:52Don't worry
11:59Don't worry
12:01I don't know what you've made
12:01You're still looking for the culinary guru
12:04Boss is tough to heal
12:06Only the culinary guru can help
12:08We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize for the cook-off to lure him in
12:12The lost ancient recipe?
12:14That's a great prize
12:16Because my mentor will be so happy if I win it
12:19You have a mentor?
12:23You have a mentor?
12:25Don't worry
12:25Don't worry Alex
12:26I will cure you and win the cooking competition
12:29You want to participate in the cooking competition?
12:32All the top chefs from the nation will be there
12:35You should just forget about it
12:36You'll be crushed
12:38Just let me try
12:39I can do it
12:43Fine, just don't be too upset if you lose
12:47I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary
12:51Great, I will show you what I can do
12:56Did you hear?
12:57The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today
13:01Yeah, I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice
13:04I heard Alex is bringing his new wife
13:08I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with
13:13Alex's wife?
13:14That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin
13:19I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick
13:24Look!
13:44I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now
13:46Should I not have called off the engagement before?
13:49Don't be fooled by their current glamour
13:53I've heard Alex's condition is worsening
13:56Otherwise he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru
14:00Alex owns a food empire
14:02If they could find culinary guru and cure him
14:05It would only benefit that hick Ira
14:09No way!
14:10I have to win Alex back!
14:12What's in those jars?
14:15Those are called spices
14:18They're key to making gourmet dishes
14:23You know nothing country bumpkin
14:26Oh those are just flashy things
14:28The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart
14:32It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors
14:35Despite her usual unreliable demeanor
14:38She actually has her own insights about food
14:41You clueless hick
14:43Don't pretend to know anything
14:45There can only be one big winner tonight
14:47And that's me
14:50Ira's right
14:51A chef who relies only on spices is a one trick pony
14:54I'd rather just drink my protein shakes
14:56Well, hold on, it's not that bad
15:00You deserve to starve Alex
15:02You're more of the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness
15:06I wouldn't even consider taking you back
15:18Master Blake!
15:19We all admire you greatly
15:24Master Blake
15:26Still no news of the culinary guru?
15:28My master's gone into seclusion with the junior apprentice
15:30And I have not been able to find out where he is
15:34Blake!
15:34Ira!
15:36Long time no see
15:36What are you doing here?
15:38How do you two know each other?
15:42Mr. Blake, the competition's about to start and the host is calling for you
15:48Alex, don't worry
15:50I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru
15:58Of course I know him
16:02What could happen?
16:04People meet every day
16:07Ladies and gentlemen
16:09Today's winner will receive an ancient lost recipe
16:12And a vivid fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family
16:17The competition officially begins
16:19There's only one room
16:21Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish
16:26Wins
16:30I suggest you back down now before you embarrass yourself even more
16:34The pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
16:39What's she doing?
16:44I need a big pot
16:46Um, sure, no problem
16:49Behind you
16:57What a unique cooking method
17:00Ira, what are you doing?
17:03You're disgracing the Williams family
17:06I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Dero
17:10Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself
17:22Just as I thought
17:23Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe
17:29Can't even handle the basics
17:32Try not to poison the judges with that shit
17:37What's she doing?
17:39No seasonings?
17:41Hilarious
17:41She's out for sure
17:47Alright
17:48Awful
17:48Trash
17:49This is an assault on my senses
17:54Could there be a twist?
17:57Is Alex going to taste it?
18:01Up next
18:03Michelin starred chef Evelyn Williams
18:06Will this dish impress?
18:09Alex
18:10You're ready for a treat
18:18Alex
18:19This dish seems different
18:21Seems like you're savoring it
18:27Totally flavorless
18:28It's like my taste buds were on a vacation
18:30I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it
18:33For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre
18:41Dizzy
18:43Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
18:46Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever
18:50Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
18:54Chaotic stew
18:55Zero presentation, zero appeal
18:57This dish doesn't even warrant a critique
19:00I really overestimated Ira
19:04Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either
19:07Will our gourmand go home empty handed?
19:10You guys don't understand
19:12My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite
19:21Ira, stop!
19:23You're an embarrassment to the profession
19:26What's that?
19:27This familiar allure
19:29I even want to try this ugly dish
19:32What's happening?
19:33Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
19:37If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie
19:41But I really want to try it
19:50Alex, wake up!
19:52Hey, cut it out with a cheek pinch
19:55Alex, you're finally awake
19:57We thought we'd lost you
19:59Ira, were you worried about me?
20:02Ira might actually have a thing for me
20:05Feels not bad
20:06Boss, you were out a long time
20:12Alex, where are your supplements?
20:14Are you even taking care of yourself?
20:15I'm fine
20:17It's just a sudden hunger pain
20:19My body couldn't keep up with my appetite
20:21Don't give me that!
20:22With those bloody standards, only a culinary guru could make you eat
20:27I...
20:28Well, actually I made that dish
20:30Who are you?
20:32Grandma, this is Ira Williams
20:34She's my wife now
20:36A wife?
20:37Someone who can actually tolerate your pickiness?
20:42Dear, can you really make something Alex will eat?
20:48Well, Alex is as picky as a toddler
20:51I'd finally made something he was willing to try
20:53And then he fainted
20:55Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door
20:58You're not looking healthy
21:01Isn't he a handful?
21:02Yeah, alright
21:04One more shot
21:06The stew you made at the competition?
21:08Stay put, I'll cure you
21:16What?
21:17Where's my seasonings?
21:20Easy there, Ira
21:21You can still do it, it will just take a bit more time
21:26Ma'am, the boss is fainted again
21:27Where's the dish ready?
21:31Again?
21:32Seriously?
21:33One sec
21:35Strange, hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger
21:42It's just a little boo-boo
21:43Who needs the culinary guru?
21:45Hang tight, Alex
21:52I brought you the stew
21:54I brought you the stew
21:56Ira, you're late
21:58Alex had my dish and is back on his fee
22:01Oh really? The dish that made him faint at the competition?
22:05I gotta try it
22:08Alex, you did eat my stuff right?
22:12Yeah, thanks for that
22:15Ira, get over here
22:16No
22:17Hey, what happened to your hand?
22:19So you do care, Alex?
22:21No, it's not like that
22:22Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew
22:25I don't want blood in my food
22:26Forget that old stew
22:28I'll take care of you
22:29And I can fix your eating problem
22:31Only food from the culinary guru counts
22:33Everything else is trash
22:36You...
22:36Hey, I can pay
22:38I'm not after money
22:40If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife
22:44Ditch Ira
22:46And let's get married
22:49Marrying Alex means all his money is mine
22:51Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex
22:54That fortune is mine
22:56Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
23:00Not your business
23:04Vaughn, give me a band-aid
23:11Alex promised to share his inheritance with me
23:15Do it yourself
23:19Hello?
23:20Hello, my dear apprentice
23:21I just got my phone and called you
23:24How are you?
23:25I...I miss you, my dear
23:27I thought I might come for a visit
23:30Awesome, my mentor is coming to visit
23:33Robert, I need backup
23:34I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson
23:36And now my stepsister is after him and his money
23:39What are you talking about?
23:41I'm not after money
23:43Ira, is that how you talk about me?
23:46Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole
23:48Why do you care what he thinks?
23:49Maybe you should worry about your own problems
23:55Alex, great news
23:57Your appetite issues are about to be fixed
23:59With me taking care of your meals
24:01You'll be fine
24:02Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
24:05Actually, it's Culinary Guru
24:07Really? Where is he?
24:10I've contacted Master, he's coming to help you
24:15I need to win Alex over before he arrives
24:20She hung up on me
24:21I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line
24:24Wait a minute
24:26Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder that Blake asked me to treat?
24:40Oh
24:41Oh, my dear apprentice, I'm on my way
24:47They think they can kick me to the curb just because they found the culinary guru
24:55Where'd I ever get this stuff anyway?
24:57It actually got Alex to eat my food
25:01But it's mine now
25:03Once Alex drinks this love potion
25:06He's all mine
25:16Try my soup while it's still hot
25:21How's it with the culinary guru?
25:23Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
25:26It's Ira's shit
25:28That's a stretch
25:29I could get used to it
25:31Since you could finally eat
25:33Let me feed you
25:34I got this, thanks
25:36Come on, don't push me away
25:37What's wrong with you?
25:39And why is it so hot in here?
25:42Seriously, Evelyn, get off
25:44Feeling warm?
25:46Let me help
25:47Alex, something's off with the culinary guru
25:52What are you doing here?
25:54This is how you help?
26:00I gotta see this
26:07Get lost
26:15Feeling better already, huh?
26:17She calls that help and you just watched me get groped
26:29My heart
26:30Am I sick too?
26:32Alex, you're burning up
26:34Can I help?
26:35Yeah, I...
26:36I could use your help
26:47Hey, what the hell?
26:49Well, you were overheating
26:50You must have a fever
26:51I thought it might cool you down
26:53Did it work?
26:55Ira, you were such a dork
27:00Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game
27:03Seriously, you're such an idiot
27:04You too, John?
27:06Alex, guess what?
27:07I met the culinary guru
27:10He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice
27:13If my master listens to me, I would make the right choice
27:17Are you threatening me?
27:18With an apprentice like you, that culinary guru must be a joke
27:22If I don't sweet talk Alex into marrying me, I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up
27:27Alex, marry me and I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you
27:32Not a chance
27:34Is Ira finally waking up?
27:37Wait, Alex tossed your dish at the competition
27:40What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
27:45The seasoning Alex could eat? That was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest
27:50Could it be?
27:52She's his apprentice!
27:54Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
27:57Why do you keep asking me that? I don't know any culinary guru
28:00So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice and she doesn't even realize it
28:05Well, maybe I can put that to use
28:07Alex, how long can you wait?
28:10Don't you care about your health?
28:12Hands off the inheritance
28:16Who's picking on my apprentice?
28:18Is that her mentor?
28:20Mentor? This be the culinary guru?
28:24Robert, you're here!
28:26Great to see you, kid
28:27I've missed you tons
28:33Nice digs you got here, kid
28:36You landed a top to your husband, didn't you?
28:38I can't believe you're finally here
28:40I've missed you heaps
28:41The culinary guru is here
28:45Everyone?
28:46Me, Chef Robert McFombay
28:47This guy? No way he's the world famous culinary guru
28:51He's as basic as Ira
28:53Ira, bringing in some random grandpa just drags down Alex's reputation
28:58Shut the fuck up, Evelyn
29:01Don't insult my mentor
29:02Let this queen twat yap
29:06This is her only talent
29:07Who are you calling twat?
29:10Old coon?
29:12I am the culinary guru's apprentice
29:15One phone call and I'll snuff you both out
29:18The culinary guru's apprentice?
29:22Funny
29:22Funny
29:23Never heard of you
29:27Please, people like you from the middle of nowhere wouldn't know a celebrity if you sat down right in front
29:34of you
29:34Enough, Evelyn
29:36Apologize to my mentor
29:38What's so funny, old coot?
29:41You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice
29:45Why not prove it?
29:47With a cook off with my apprentice
29:50I just won the culinary championship
29:54Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
29:56Last time you already lost
29:58I was out last time, so that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you
30:03Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude
30:05Threatening Alex with your cooking?
30:08Let's just see who says she actually wants a taste
30:10Ira, get real
30:12If Alex could stomach your food, he would've by now
30:16We'll see
30:24With my secret sauce, let's see you stand a chance, Ira
30:29Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
30:36Oh no, your fish, it's burning!
30:39What?
30:45You sly old man
30:47Learn from me and you might succeed
30:49Copy me and you're going down
30:51Let's see you beat Ira now, without my special blend
30:58Alex will love this little kid food
31:01Burn baby, burn
31:04All set, just need my turkey
31:11What the hell?
31:13Burn?
31:14No time to fix this now
31:20Come at me, sis
31:22You're always gonna lose
31:31You have to try my dish
31:34Where's Ira?
31:35I'm not hungry yet, I'll wait for her food
31:38My sole is gonna get cold, Alex
31:41Why wait your stomach for Ira?
31:46What's taking her so long?
31:49What's going on, ma'am?
31:51Look, she has nothing, Alex
31:53Looks like she's ready to throw in the towel
31:56Ira?
31:57What's going on?
31:59Given to you?
32:00Not a chance
32:04Didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big
32:07Face it, Alex, she's all talk
32:10Not marriage material
32:12Who says I didn't finish?
32:15Just...
32:15What?
32:16Just hold your horses
32:19Stop stalling, Ira
32:21You missed the deadline
32:22You lose
32:24I'm the one who deserves that ring
32:27Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
32:30Ira, when did I ever say...
32:32Just...
32:32Alex, just try this
32:35When I win, Ira's out
32:37And the title's mine for good
32:38Go on, Alex, dig in
32:39Let's hear the verdict
32:52Hey, you good, boss?
32:55That is the worst slap I have ever tasted
32:58What the hell?
33:00What did you put in that?
33:02It's triggering his eating disorder
33:04Impossible!
33:05My spices are perfect
33:07Someone must have messed with them
33:09Evelyn, really?
33:11You're calling this yours?
33:14That's mine, I couldn't find it at the competition
33:16So you take it
33:21Evelyn, really?
33:22This is ours
33:24You're a thief
33:24No, no!
33:25Alex, you have to believe me
33:27Vaughn, get... kick her out
33:29Alex, just give me one more shot
33:30I can whip up something amazing
33:33Get lost!
33:35This can't be happening!
33:43Get that away from me
33:44I can't even handle a protein shake right now
33:5125 Oak Street
33:52Yes, we have an emergency
33:54Chronic eating disorder
33:55Yes, we need help right away
33:58Hang tight, my dish is almost done
33:59Guess I'm doomed to starve
34:02As a foodie
34:03Only the culinary guru gets me
34:06So if the culinary guru doesn't show
34:08You're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
34:15You know, Irish cooking has certainly surpassed mine
34:18You gotta try it
34:19It's a flavor journey, man
34:21I can't trust anyone anymore
34:23Eating garbage everyday
34:25Just take me now
34:30Alex, since you wanted a divorce
34:32Shall we figure out what happens next?
34:34Who talked about a divorce?
34:36I'm on my last legs here
34:38Couldn't you at least comfort me?
34:39Weird
34:41I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this
34:45What's that noise?
34:48No need for the hospital
34:50My roast chicken is ready
35:01Here Alex, chow down
35:05Guess your fortune is mine
35:06Forget about him, Ira
35:08Let's dig in
35:11Man, that smells amazing
35:13Try a piece
35:16Butter
35:18It's so sad my boss can't eat nothing
35:27Boss, it's the best food ever
35:29You really gotta try some
35:30Please
35:30Told you
35:32Ira's got skills
35:33You can talk all you want
35:35This world's food has burned you too many times
35:37I've told Alex my cooking could cure him
35:40Do all husbands not trust their wives?
35:43Maybe I just need a normal guy
35:44Well, what are you after?
35:46Pretty boy?
35:47Handsome guy?
35:48I've got connections
35:51Oh, well, look who the cat dragged in
35:56How was Heaven treating you?
36:03Fine, one more shot
36:06But remember, I'm a food critic
36:09I'll be keeping it real
36:10No sugarcum
36:14If you want some, help yourself
36:17What are you waiting for, a butler?
36:34What?
36:35Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru
36:39Boss is eating, I've gotta tell Lady Linda
36:44Ira, what is your connection to the culinary guru?
36:48Why do you keep asking that?
36:49I don't know a culinary guru
36:51He's probably just a scammer
36:58Get over it already
37:00But that box you made was just like the culinary guru
37:04And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic
37:07I gotta admit, it's legit
37:10Oh, well, Robert made that one
37:17Yeah, uh, sorry, I forgot to say
37:21I'm the one everyone's been talking about
37:22I'm the culinary guru
37:28What?
37:30And Ira here, my apprentice
37:33Is already better than I am
37:40Why didn't you tell us sooner?
37:42Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time
37:45Alright
37:47I didn't know you actually cared about me
37:50Well, you're such a picky eater
37:52You had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work
37:56So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
38:04Boss! You're eating again!
38:06We're in the clear for the food court project
38:12Alex, I whipped up a new dish, you gotta try it
38:14Another review session?
38:16As your test subject
38:17You know, I have my pride too
38:20Why are you acting so serious?
38:26What's this mess?
38:29You know I'm a bit of a neat freak
38:33So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
38:36I sure do!
38:49I need to save my dinner from burning
38:55Life's better when you can actually eat
39:06Why is my face so hot?
39:22Oh crap, I ruined it!
39:24My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
39:28I must be cursed
39:29No way, I'm out of here
39:33Oh, I love this suit, it's so nice
39:36Thank you
39:41Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here
39:49So who's this?
39:53Hi, I'm Gina
39:55Ira, you said you were leaving?
39:57You know what?
39:58I might stick around
40:10Alright, what's the hurry?
40:12Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl
40:18Alex, I've missed you all these years
40:21Oh really? I don't believe it
40:23Grandma, who is she?
40:25I don't buy it either
40:27She's just acting sweet
40:29She's Alex's first crush
40:30The one that left him to study abroad
40:33Without a thought
40:37Gina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
40:45I've missed you all these years
40:48I came back because my heart belongs to you
40:50Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex
40:56I know I blew it before
40:58I put my plans before us
41:00And threw away everything that we had
41:02But I'm here
41:04I'm willing to throw away all my pride
41:06Whatever it takes
41:07Just say I'll give it one more chance
41:09Gina, you left him with nothing but a letter
41:12I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long
41:15And now you're back
41:17What's the point?
41:18Alex, I came back for us
41:20I've never forgotten about us
41:22After all these years, I know you still feel it too
41:26You haven't forgotten what we had
41:29Let's just give it another shot
41:37Oh God!
41:40Aren't you hungry, Alex?
41:42Let's go
41:43Alex!
41:45Gina, I married them
41:47Just go
41:51Oh!
41:52Oh!
41:53Oh!
41:54Oh!
41:55Oh my ankle, I twisted it
41:57You okay?
41:58I twisted it, it hurts
41:59Oh, Alex
42:01Put the ointment on it like you're used to
42:04I haven't forgotten how sweet you are
42:07I'll take care of it
42:08Oh, okay
42:11Ow, ow, ow
42:12Ow!
42:14Myra's acting all weird
42:16Is she finally feeling jealous?
42:21Ow, ow, ow, ow!
42:25No, Frank, she's totally faking it
42:33Ow! Easy!
42:35You're crushing me!
42:36Oh, you're fine
42:37But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts
42:48Ira, where are you going?
42:55Ira, you look like you lost your puppy
42:57Alex's ex is back in town
43:02Better keep your eye out
43:04Alex is my husband
43:05I'm not letting anyone take his fortune
43:07Yeah, where a guy's heart goes
43:09The wallet soon follows
43:11Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me
43:13Hmm
43:14Got your work cut out for you
43:16Body, she's got your feet
43:19Looks, she's classy, you're comfy
43:21She's got her degree and you're still learning
43:27Personality, she's sweet, you're hungry
43:31Don't forget she's Alex's first love
43:32Guys, don't forget that
43:38Well, crap, I guess I don't stand a chance
43:41Well, you got one ace up your sleeve
43:44You were there for him
43:45And helped him through his eating disorder
43:49You were there when you needed her
43:52I've gotta cook something good
43:54There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune
43:59Poor kid
44:00Poor kid
44:01She's kinda bad and doesn't even know it
44:04Thinks it's all about the cash
44:09Really? No second chance for me?
44:13Gina, I'm taken
44:16Take care
44:25Hi, it's Ira
44:27Sorry I missed your call
44:28Leave a message
44:30Where's Ira?
44:32I was just dodging my calls
44:35That must be Ira
44:37Time to see if she's jealous
44:44Got it, Alex
44:45I'll be leaving tomorrow
44:46Let's have this drink as a farewell
44:50Cheers to your next chapter
44:56Hmm
45:04Are you alright?
45:06Here, let me help you
45:17Oh, Alex
45:18We have so much to catch up on after all this time
45:23Alex, you have to try my new dish
45:35Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us
45:39What do you think we should do?
45:41Get off
45:42Ira!
45:45Alex
45:47Gina, seriously?
45:49You drugged my drink
45:50That's low even for you
45:53Alex, no, come on
45:56Get off
45:58You're gonna regret this
46:07Steven, the chef's apprentice is out
46:10You're halfway to taking the food court project
46:13Well done, Gina
46:16Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients
46:20This time, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were
46:26We need top quality ingredients for this project or-
46:30I got it
46:30Oh, you've reminded me of something
46:33Besides the apprentice of Culinary Grower
46:36Galax has got his own head chefs
46:37Come back, I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back
46:41Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
46:46Absolutely
46:47You'll get your cut
46:50Alex, I gave you a chance
46:53Alex, I gave you a chance
46:53This is all on you
47:05She blocked me
47:07What is she, a teenager?
47:09Boss?
47:11We've got a problem
47:12That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right
47:14We won't have a head chef for the Food City project next week
47:17And where it is we're heading for bankruptcy
47:19Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit
47:23Get on it
47:24Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting
47:32Hot off the press
47:34KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group
47:39Leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City project
47:43Could this be the beginning of the end for KL group?
47:46Oh, man, Alex is in trouble
47:49So what? He has Gina now, doesn't he?
47:53Yeah, I guess
47:54Alex is yesterday's news
47:55I'm gonna go cook
47:57Is it really that bad?
48:03You think about helping Alex?
48:04No
48:10No
48:11After the judges voting
48:12The finalists for the Food City bidding competition are
48:16KL group and
48:17Snow group
48:22Alright folks, it's time for round two
48:24Where we invite our star, Michelin starred chefs to the plate
48:28To create their magnum opuses
48:29Let's get things started with Snow group
48:32Please, give her a warm welcome, folks
48:42Gina
48:45Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
48:48Gina's been on my side the entire time
48:51All that talk of you two getting back together
48:53Just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice
48:58Alex
48:58I gave you a chance
49:03When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients
49:07I swore I was going to bring you down
49:10Your character is just like your ingredients
49:13Rotten on the inside and out
49:17Keep talking tough, Alex
49:18But where are you now?
49:20No head chef
49:22No culinary genius
49:24I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over
49:28And then I'm going to watch KL group crumble
49:34Ladies and gentlemen
49:35Now we have the lovely Miss Gina ready to present her dish
49:40KL group, it's your turn to step up
49:44What's going on?
49:45Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
49:46Man, looks like they're ready to wave the white flag
49:49Folks, we're down, we want to fool you
49:51Chef
49:54Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex
49:56Even if you squeak by the first round
49:58You've got no one for the second
50:04She's got me all wrong, and I don't think she's coming back
50:07This misunderstanding is too deep
50:10Since we have no one from KL group to compete
50:13I hereby announce that the winner is
50:16Snow!
50:17Wait a minute!
50:21Alex, I'm back
50:27What's the score?
50:28We're toast
50:30I thought Gina was your ace
50:31Guess she's not cutting it, huh?
50:33It's not like that with her and me
50:35And Gina's representing Steven in this competition
50:37Mmm, so your little reunion didn't go as planned?
50:41Ira, nothing happened with her
50:43I will represent the KL group
50:45I'll take Gina on myself
50:49Aren't we expecting to see Michelin starred chefs on stage?
50:52Are you really in that league?
50:54No, I'm not
50:55How can she compete when she doesn't have any credentials, especially against Gina?
51:00I mean, she has Royal Chef status
51:04Royal Chef? Never heard of it
51:06I was trained by the culinary guru though, if that means anything
51:12Look at the culinary guru hasn't been around for ages
51:15And besides, Gina, she trained with the sea guru Robert
51:18She said she trained with them? I mean, what?
51:22Wait, you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
51:28So, Steven stole all of Alex's chefs
51:31Well, I may not be Michelin star status, but I have what it takes to represent the KL group
51:37Why do you think you can represent KL?
51:40Because I'm his wife, that's why
51:44Ira, you're a life saver
51:48Let's see what you cook up
51:51I'll give it a try and we'll see who takes the crown
51:56And who are you, old man?
51:58What makes you think you're in charge here?
52:00He's Alan Ducasse, president of the Dupont group
52:04The project's big cheese
52:09Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say
52:13Sir, this is the dish from Snow
52:20Rich and aromatic
52:22Like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun
52:26I created this with the combined efforts of three top chefs
52:31So good luck beating that, Ira
52:33You may be the culinary guru's apprentice
52:35But that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of us combined
52:44Seriously, you think you can compete with something so simple and rough
52:49This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with? It's so inelegant
52:55You don't understand
52:56A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food
53:03Ira's right
53:03A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony
53:07I'd rather just drink my protein shakes
53:20What's up with Alan? Why isn't he saying anything?
53:24Do you think the stuff is that bad?
53:25It must be terrible
53:27Mr. Alan's in tears
53:28No one asked your opinion
53:30Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
53:36My dream since I was young was to taste the best food in the world
53:40I never guessed I would do it today
53:43I've waited 30 years for this dish
53:47I declare the KL group, led by Alex, winner
53:51This isn't fair
53:53This isn't fair!
53:53I used the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish
53:56How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
53:59If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant
54:02That is not what the project needs
54:04Snow group doesn't cut it
54:07Just wait Alex, I'm gonna make you pay
54:12Ira, you crushed it
54:14Food City project is ours
54:15I told you I could do it
54:17Miss Ira, I have to know
54:20What were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs?
54:24It became so delicious
54:26I guess I was just thinking about
54:28Someone special
54:32Miss Ira, sounds like you have it for that person
54:42Oh?
54:47Alex, you promised me a surprise
54:50What is it?
54:52Ira, thanks for everything in this competition
54:56This is a family heirloom
54:58Meant for Mrs. Thompson
55:01So Ira, will you be mine forever?
55:12Stay forever?
55:14Stay forever?
55:14That sounds boring
55:15I haven't even explored the world yet
55:17Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
55:24Ira, do you not get it?
55:25Or are you just messing with me?
55:33Hey, Alex, what's up? You called for me?
55:36I have two gifts for you
55:40Here's a card with half my fortune
55:42Take it as a thank you
55:47Alex, you're the best
55:48I love cash
55:49Now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere
55:54Ira, I like you
55:55I want to take our relationship to the next level
55:58What do you think? How do you feel about me?
56:03Um, you certainly have the money
56:05And you let me prove my cooking abilities
56:07You really have made all my dreams come true
56:11Ira, you want out, right?
56:14I'll give you the money and the freedom you want
56:19Here's a divorce agreement
56:21Let's end this
56:31Ira, sign this and you're free
56:35I'm leaving the country after it's done
56:37Take care
56:38I just remembered something
56:54What does Alex mean?
57:02Why can't I stop thinking about him?
57:10Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
57:12Alex seemed off yesterday
57:15Maybe I should cheer him up when I see him
57:17Oh crap, I never signed the divorce papers
57:20How do I bring that up?
57:26Where's Alex?
57:27Feels weird not seeing him around
57:32Hey?
57:33Grandma, where's Alex?
57:35Oh Alex, he's at the airport
57:36About to jet off
57:38Congrats, honey
57:40You'll finally be free
57:41No more Alex to nag you
57:43What?
57:52Boss, the plane is boarding
57:54Looks like she's not coming
57:56She didn't even bother to show up
58:01Like I can
58:03Vaughn, let's go home
58:08Alex!
58:14I can't stand the thought of losing you
58:16I can't stand the thought of losing you
58:18Ira, if I stay
58:20You'll end up leaving
58:21You want your freedom
58:22And you don't love me
58:24I can't be selfish and keep you trapped in this marriage
58:27I don't want you to leave
58:29Why not?
58:30Because
58:33Because when I'm not with you
58:35You're all I think about
58:37Alex
58:38You asked me how I felt
58:40And I finally know
58:42Ira
58:42I love you
58:47Ira
58:51I love you too
59:03I'm not finding this
59:04That's not real, it doesn't matter
59:07Huh?
59:11It's very
59:14It's very
59:15There he is
59:19So...
