Short filmTranscript
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.
08:24Oh, this is fucking good.
08:33Oh.
08:40Oh.
08:41Oh.
08:41Oh.
08:42Shit.
08:44I need my liquid nutrients.
08:56The protein shakes are gone, I'll have something to do with something else.
09:03This looks pretty good, weird 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.
09:29Ira?
09:32Are you there?
09:43I'm here you 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, the foodie ate his way into an eating disorder?
10:18Alex, my heart is racing, what's happening to me?
10:24What a strange guy.
10:35Done with Alex?
10:42Alex, she'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?
11:15Oh, get out!
11:23Are you mad?
11:29We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
11:32It should be enough to lure out the culinary team.
11:34Don't worry sir, we've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
11:39He'll be a judge and there might be news about the chef soon.
11:48Bon, I made a new dish.
11:50Please take it to your boss.
11:52But you have to pay me before he eats it.
11:56The boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
11:59He definitely won't be able to eat 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 from the cook-off to lure him in.
12:13The lost ancient recipe?
12:14That's a great prize.
12:16My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
12:19You have a mentor?
12:23You have a mentor?
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.
12:37You'll be crushed.
12:38Just let me try.
12:39I can do it.
12:43Fine.
12:44Just don't be too upset if you lose.
12:47I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
12:51Great.
12:51I 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.
13:02I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
13:05I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
13:08I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
13:13Alex's wife?
13:15That 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's so full of herself now.
13:47Should I not have called off the engagement before?
13:50Don'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, it 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, she actually has her own insights about food.
14:41You clueless hick, don't pretend to know anything.
14:45There can only be one big winner tonight, and 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.
14:57It's not that bad.
15:00You deserve to starve, Alex.
15:03If you were of the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness,
15:07I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
15:18Master Blake, we all admire you greatly.
15:24Master Blake, still 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, long time no see.
15:37What are you doing here?
15:38How do you two know each other?
15:42Mr. Blake, the competition's about to start.
15:44The 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.
15:59Of course I know him.
16:02What could happen, people meet every day.
16:07Ladies and gentlemen, today's winner will receive an ancient lost recipe and a vivid
16:14fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family.
16:17The competition officially begins.
16:20There's only one room.
16:21Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish,
16:25wins.
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.
16:48No problem.
16:49Behind you.
16:57What a unique cooking method.
17:01Ira, what are you doing?
17:03You're disgracing the Williams family.
17:06I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
17:10Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
17:22Just as I thought.
17:24Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
17:29I can'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.
17:48Awful.
17:49Trash.
17:50This is an assault on my senses.
17:54Could there be a twist?
17:57Is Alex going to taste it?
18:02Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
18:06Will this dish impress?
18:09Alex, you're in for a treat.
18:18Alex, this 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.
18:34For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
18:41I'm dizzy.
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.
18:58This 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?
19:34Why 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.
20:07Boss, you were out a long time.
20:11Alex, where are your supplements?
20:13Are 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.
20:27Well, 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, and then he fainted.
20:55Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door.
20:59You're not looking healthy.
21:01Isn't he a handful?
21:02Yeah, all right.
21:04One more shot.
21:06The stew you made at the competition?
21:08Stay putt.
21:08I'll carry you.
21:16What?
21:17Where's my seasonings?
21:20Easy there, Ira.
21:21You can still do it.
21:22It will just take a bit more time.
21:26No!
21:26The boss is fainted again!
21:28Where's the dish ready?
21:31Again?
21:32Seriously?
21:33One sec.
21:35Strange.
21:36Hearing 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.
21:53I brought you the stew.
21:56Ira, you're late.
21:58Alex had my dish and is back on his fee.
22:02Oh really?
22:03The 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.
22:17No.
22:17Hey, what happened to your hand?
22:19So you do care, Alex?
22:21No, it's not like that.
22:23Just 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 and I can fix your eating problem.
22:31Only food from the culinary guru counts.
22:33Yes, everything else is trash.
22:35You...
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.
22:45Ditch Ira, then 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.
23:04Oh, and 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...
23:25I miss you, my dear.
23:28I thought I might come for a visit.
23:30Awesome.
23:31My mentor is coming to visit.
23:33Robert, I need backup.
23:35I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson, and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
23:39What are you talking about?
23:41I'm not after money.
23:44Ira, 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.
24:00With me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine.
24:03Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
24:06Actually, it's Culinary Guru.
24:08Really?
24:09Where is he?
24:10I've contacted Master.
24:11He'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.
24:25Wait a minute.
24:26Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder that Blake asked me to treat?
24:42Oh, my dear apprentice.
24:44I'm on my way.
24:47They think they can kick me to the curb just because they found the Culinary Guru?
24:54Where'd I ever get this stuff anyway?
24:57It actually got Alex to eat my food.
25:00But it's mine now.
25:03Once Alex drinks this love potion, he's all mine.
25:16Try my soup while it's still hot.
25:21As a way for 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, let me feed you.
25:34Oh, I got this.
25:35Thanks.
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.
25:45Feeling 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.
26:06Get lost.
26:15Feeling better already, huh?
26:17She calls that help and you just watched me get groped.
26:29My heart.
26:31Am I sick too?
26:32Alex, you're burning up.
26:34Can I help?
26:35Yeah, I could use your help.
26:47Hey, what the hell?
26:49Well, you were overheating.
26:51You must have a fever.
26:51I thought it might cool you down.
26:53Did it work?
26:55Ira, you were such a dork.
27:00Damn it, Ira.
27:01You ruined my game.
27:03Seriously, you're such an idiot.
27:05You 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.
27:13My master listens to me.
27:15I would make the right choice.
27:17Are you threatening me?
27:19With an apprentice like you, that Culinary Guru must be a joke.
27:23If I don't sweet talk Alex into marrying me, I'll miss my shot when the Culinary Guru shows up.
27:28Alex, 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.
28:01So Ira really is the Culinary Guru's apprentice and she doesn't even realize it.
28:06Well, 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?
28:21This be Culinary Guru?
28:24Robert, you're here.
28:25Great to see you, kid.
28:28I'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. I've missed you heaps.
28:41The Culinary Guru is here.
28:45Everyone, me, Chef Robert McFombay.
28:48This guy? No way he's the world famous Culinary Guru. He'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.
29:03Let this queen twat yap. This is her only talent.
29:08Who are you calling twat?
29:12I am the Culinary Guru's Apprentice. One phone call and I'll snuff you both out.
29:18The Culinary Guru's Apprentice?
29:22Funny. Never 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. Apologize 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 with a cook-off with my Apprentice?
29:50I just won the Culinary Championship.
29:54Why would I be scared of you, Ira? Last 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.
30:06Threatening Alex with your cooking?
30:07Let's just see who's this he actually wants to taste.
30:10Ira, get real.
30:12If Alex could stomach your food, he would have 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?!
30:44You 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.
30:57Alex will love this little kid food.
31:01Burn, baby, burn.
31:04All set, just need my turkey.
31:11What the hell?
31:13Burnt?
31:15No time to fix this now.
31:21Come at me, sis. You're always going to 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 soul is going to get cold, Alex.
31:41Why wait your stomach for Ira?
31:45What'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? What's going on?
31:59Given to you? Not a chance.
32:04Didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big.
32:08Face it, Alex. She's all talk.
32:10Not narrative 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...
32:33Alex, just try this.
32:35When I win, Ira's out.
32:37And the title's mine for good.
32:38Go on, Alex. Dig in.
32:40Let'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! My spices are perfect.
33:07Someone must have messed with them.
33:09Evelyn, really.
33:11You're calling this yours?
33:14That's mine.
33:15I couldn't find it at the competition.
33:17So you take it.
33:21Evelyn, really.
33:22This is ours.
33:23You're a thief.
33:24No, no.
33:26Alex, you have to believe me.
33:27Vaughn, 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.
33:56Yes, we need help right away.
33:57Hang tight.
33:58My dish is almost done.
34:00Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
34:03Only the culinary guru gets me.
34:06So if the culinary guru doesn't show, you'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 every day.
34:25Just take me now.
34:30Alex, since you wanted a divorce, shall we figure out what happens next?
34:34Oh, who talked about a divorce?
34:36I'm on my last legs here.
34:38Couldn't you at least comfort me?
34:40Weird.
34:41I kind of 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.
35:02Chow down.
35:05Guess your fortune is mine.
35:07Forget 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.
35:31Told you.
35:32Ira's got skills.
35:34You can talk all you want.
35:35This world's food has burned 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?
35:46A handsome guy?
35:48I've got connections.
35:51Oh, well, look who the cat dragged in.
35:56How was Heaven treating you?
36:03Fine.
36:04One more shot.
36:06But remember, I'm a food critic.
36:09I'll be keeping it real.
36:10No sugar cone.
36:14If you want some, help yourself.
36:17What are you waiting for?
36:18A butler?
36:34What?
36:35Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
36:39Boss is eating.
36:41I've got to 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.
36:57Get over it already.
37:00But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
37:03And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic.
37:07I've got to admit, it's legit.
37:10Well, Robert made that one.
37:17Yeah, uh, sorry, I forgot to say, I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
37:23I'm the culinary guru.
37:28What?
37:29And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
37:40Why didn't you tell us sooner?
37:42Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
37:45All right.
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!
38:05You're eating again!
38:06We're in the clear for the food court project.
38:11Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
38:13You've got to try it.
38:15Another review session?
38:16As your test subject, you 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.
38:32So, 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.
39:05Why 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.
39:30No way, I'm out of here.
39:33Oh, I love this suit.
39:36It's so nice.
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.
40:10Ira, 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?
40:22I don't believe it.
40:24Grandma, who is she?
40:25I don't buy it either.
40:27She's just acting sweet.
40:29She's Alex's first crush.
40:31The one that left him to study abroad.
40:34Without a thought.
40:37Gina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
40:45Alex, I've missed you all these years.
40:48I came back because my heart belongs to you.
40:51Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
40:56I know I blew it before.
40:58I put my plans before us and threw away everything that we had, but I'm here.
41:04I'm willing to throw away all my pride, whatever it takes.
41:07Just say I'll give it one more chance.
41:10Gina, you left me with nothing but a letter.
41:12I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long, and 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.
41:44Alex!
41:45Gina, I married them.
41:47Just go.
41:54Oh my ankle, I twisted it.
41:57You okay?
41:58I twisted it, it hurts.
42:00Oh, Alex, here, put the ointment on it like you used to.
42:04I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
42:07I'll take care of it.
42:08Oh, okay.
42:10Ow, ow, ow!
42:13Myra's acting all weird.
42:16Is she finally feeling jealous?
42:25Now, Frank, she's totally faking it.
42:33Oh, easy!
42:35You're crushing me.
42:36Oh, you're fine.
42:37But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts.
42:41Ow!
42:43Ow!
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, the wallet soon follows.
43:11Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
43:14You've got your work cut out for you.
43:16Body, she's got your feet.
43:19Looks, she's classy.
43:20You're comfy.
43:21She's got her degree, and you're still learning.
43:27Personality, she's sweet.
43:28You're hungry.
43:31Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
43:33Guys, don't forget that.
43:38Well, crap.
43:39I guess I don't stand a chance.
43:41Well, you've got one ace up your sleeve.
43:44You were there for him, and helped him through his eating disorder.
43:49You were there when he needed you.
43:52I've got to cook something good.
43:54There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
43:59Poor kid.
44:01She's kind of bad, she's kind of bad, and doesn't even know it.
44:04Thinks it's all about the cash.
44:09Really?
44:10No second chance for me?
44:13Gina, I'm taken.
44:16Take care.
44:25Hi, it's Ira.
44:27Sorry I missed your call.
44:29Leave a message.
44:29Where's Ira?
44:32I was just dodging my calls.
44:35It must be Ira.
44:37Time to see if she's jealous.
44:44Got it, Alex.
44:45I'll be leaving tomorrow.
44:47Let'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.
45:19We 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.
45:38What 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.
45:54Come on.
45:55Get off.
45:58You're going to regret this.
46:07Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
46:10You're halfway to taking the food court project.
46:14Well done, Gina.
46:16Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
46:21This time, I'm going to 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.
46:31Oh, you've reminded me of something.
46:33Besides the apprentice of Culinary Grower,
46:36Galax has got his own head chefs.
46:38I'm back.
46:39I'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?
46:45Absolutely.
46:47I'll get you a cut.
46:50Alex, I gave you a chance.
46:53This is all on you.
47:04She 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.
47:15We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week.
47:17And word is we're heading for bankruptcy.
47:19Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
47:23Okay.
47:23Get on it.
47:24Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
47:32Hot off the press, KL'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?
47:50He has Gina now, doesn't he?
47:53Yeah, I guess.
47:54Alex has yesterday's news.
47:55I'm going to go cook.
48:01Is it really that bad?
48:03Are you thinking about helping Alex?
48:04No.
48:10After the judges voting, the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are KL Group and Snow Group.
48:21All right, folks.
48:23It's time for round two, where we invite our star, Michelin-starred chefs to the plate to create their magnum
48:29opuses.
48:30Let'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, I gave you a chance.
49:03When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients, I 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.
49:19But where are you now?
49:21No 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, now we have the lovely Miss Gina ready to present her dish.
49:39KL Group, it's your turn to step up.
49:43What's going on?
49:44Why is there no being on Alex's side?
49:46Man, it looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
49:49Folks, we're now.
49:50We have a lovely chef.
49:52We have a lovely hour we're here.
49:54Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
49:56Even if you squeak by the first round, you'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 Snow!
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.
50:32I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
50:33It's not like that with her and me.
50:36And Gina's representing Steven in this competition.
50:37Hmm, 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.
50:47I'll...
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?
51:06Never heard of it.
51:07I was trained by the culinary guru, though, if that means anything.
51:12Look at the culinary guru who hasn't been around for ages.
51:15And besides, Gina, she trained with the sea guru, Robert.
51:19She said she trained with them?
51:21I mean, what?
51:22Wait, you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
51:28So, Steven stole all of Alex's chefs.
51:32Well, I may not be Michelin-starred 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.
51:41That's why.
51:44Ira, you're a lifesaver.
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.
52:03The project's big cheese.
52:09Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
52:13Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
52:19Rich 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, but that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of
52:38us combined.
52:45Seriously, you think you can compete with something so simple and rough?
52:50This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
52:53It's so inelegant.
52:55You don't understand.
52:57A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
53:03Ira's right.
53:04A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
53:07I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
53:21What's up with Alan?
53:21Why isn't he saying anything?
53:24Do you think the stuff is that bad?
53:26It must be terrible.
53:27Mr. Alan's in tears.
53:29No one asked your opinion.
53:31Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
53:36My dream, since I was young, was to taste the best food in the world.
53:41I never guessed I would do it today.
53:44I've waited 30 years for this dish.
53:47I declare the KL Group, led by Alex, winner.
53:52This isn't fair!
53:53I use 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, that is not what the project needs.
54:05Snow Group doesn't cut it.
54:07Just wait, Alex.
54:09I'm gonna make you pay!
54:12Ira, you crushed it!
54:14Food City project is ours.
54:15I told you I could do it.
54:18Miss Ira, I have to know, what were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs became so delicious?
54:25I guess I was just thinking about someone special.
54:31Miss Ira, sounds like you have it for that person.
54:42Alex, you promised me a surprise.
54:50What is it?
54:51Ira, thanks for everything in this competition.
54:56This is a family heirloom, meant for Mrs. Thompson.
55:01So Ira, will you be mine forever?
55:12Stay forever?
55:14That sounds boring.
55:16I haven't even explored the world yet.
55:18Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
55:24Ira, do you not get it, or are you just messing with me?
55:33Hey, Alex, what's up?
55:34You called for me?
55:36I have two gifts for you.
55:40Here's a card with half my fortune.
55:43Take it as a thank you.
55:47Alex, you're the best.
55:48I love cash.
55:50Now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere.
55:54Ira, I like you.
55:56I want to take our relationship to the next level.
55:58What do you think?
55:59How do you feel about me?
56:03Um, you certainly have the money, and you let me prove my cooking abilities.
56:07You really have made all my dreams come true.
56:09Ira, you want out, right?
56:13I'll give you the money and the freedom you want.
56:18Here's a divorce agreement.
56:21Let's end this.
56:31Ira, sign this, and you're free.
56:34I'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?
57:06Hmm.
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.
57:18I never signed the divorce papers.
57:20How do I bring that up?
57:23I don't know.
57:26Where's Alex?
57:27It feels weird not seeing him around.
57:32Hey.
57:33Grandma, where's Alex?
57:34Oh, Alex, he's at the airport.
57:36About to jet off.
57:38Congrats, honey.
57:39You'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.
58:18Ira, if I stay, you'll end up leaving.
58:22You want your freedom, and 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?
58:29Because, because when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
58:38Alex, you asked me how I felt, and I finally know.
58:42I love you.
58:47Ira.
58:51I love you, too.
59:03I'm not finding this.
59:05That's not real.
59:06It doesn't matter.
59:07Huh?
59:13So I give you my heart
