00:00:02French Shannon Tartar! Only $5! We're going to try one!
00:00:07Ma'am, you need to see this. The 2026 Golden Fork competition kicks off any minute now.
00:00:12Boss Leland and Chef Hugo still can't taste the thing. I don't know how we're going to get through this.
00:00:17Calm down, Zach. I built the Heinz Group from the ground up. It's not going down under my watch.
00:00:22Activate the emergency protocol. Bring in the top tier chef. Now.
00:00:26French Shannon Tartar! Only $5!
00:00:28Hold on. What is that incredible smell?
00:00:32French Shannon Tartar!
00:00:35Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:00:37My mom is sick. I'm looking to save her.
00:00:41Mom!
00:00:43Shh, it's okay, sweetheart. Don't cry. I have something for you.
00:00:48I need you to find your father, Leon. Okay?
00:00:54A liver transplant costs over a million. You can't pay that.
00:00:58I'll make money in the way Mommy taught me. I'll save her on my spouse.
00:01:03I'll take everything this little chef made.
00:01:07Thank you, ma'am.
00:01:13My God. Crispy, silky, perfectly balanced. I've never tasted salmon truffle tartare this good.
00:01:20This is my mission in love of cracked.
00:01:22Sweetheart, I'll pay you a million dollars.
00:01:25Be the head chef for Heinz Group and represent Rene in the Golden Fork competition.
00:01:30Rene? That competition?
00:01:55You're not only risking the market value of Heinz Group, but our reputation.
00:01:59I'm sorry, sir. My sense of taste still hasn't come back.
00:02:03Has anyone heard anything from Master Rene? Anything at all?
00:02:10Son?
00:02:12Meet your new head chef, Catherine.
00:02:17You and Hugo can take a breather.
00:02:20Catherine, this is my son, Leon.
00:02:24Hi, Leon. You're super handsome. Want to be my dad?
00:02:32Why does this kid feel familiar?
00:02:37Bob, seriously? A kid is head chef?
00:02:41I can totally do it.
00:02:43How about you try my food first and then decide?
00:02:50Hey, kid. This kitchen isn't your playground.
00:02:54Boss, choose me.
00:02:55I'm the one who can actually run this place.
00:02:59Okay, Grace, fine.
00:03:00If you can pull off an Uni Ice Cream Moose,
00:03:02that chef title's all yours.
00:03:04Of course. I'll nail it.
00:03:05Don't get too cocky up it.
00:03:07Uni with a moose base is a minefield.
00:03:09One wrong move and it'll taste like a tide pool.
00:03:13I can do this.
00:03:19Hand lift.
00:03:20Delete level control.
00:03:28Boss, am I head chef material now?
00:03:31Should triple the volume.
00:03:33Bigger body, cleaner flavors.
00:03:34Classic Michelin technique.
00:03:36I will say, Grace, you did a pretty solid job.
00:03:38I was...
00:03:39Excuse me.
00:03:43Hmm.
00:03:44I can do it way better.
00:03:51Listen, little kid.
00:03:52You don't look like you've ever even been in a kitchen.
00:03:54Let alone seen anything that's not on the $1 menu at Burger King.
00:03:58And you think you can whip a moose?
00:04:00Please.
00:04:04Of course I can.
00:04:06In this kitchen, only one person has won the Golden Fork three times in a row.
00:04:12Me.
00:04:13And I say that Catherine has the talent.
00:04:17Anyone want to challenge that?
00:04:28Boss, come on.
00:04:29She can't even reach the countertop.
00:04:31Catherine, we have some extra Ooni and cream.
00:04:33Show us what you got.
00:04:36Grandma, that one, please.
00:04:37I need to shut.
00:04:54All done.
00:04:55Perfectly whipped.
00:04:57That's five times expansion Ooni ice cream moose.
00:05:00How is this possible?
00:05:03This is Renee-level technique.
00:05:05Sweetheart, this is incredible.
00:05:08Didn't I tell you?
00:05:08You've already outcooked half the chefs here.
00:05:12This is impossible.
00:05:13How does a little brat know the secret to high-volume whipping?
00:05:17Oh, Grace.
00:05:18Let's be honest.
00:05:20If you can't even handle a moose,
00:05:22how do you keep a straight face
00:05:23and tell people you're the head chef
00:05:25when a six-year-old just outcooked you?
00:05:34Bad news.
00:05:35VP James from the Mason Group
00:05:36just showed up with an entire entourage.
00:05:39Of course he did.
00:05:40They're probably here for the Golden Fork competition.
00:05:57Leon, on behalf of Mason Group,
00:06:00I challenge Heinz.
00:06:01The winner will get a Golden Fork competition slot.
00:06:05No, James.
00:06:06You're not welcome here.
00:06:07Get out.
00:06:08What's wrong?
00:06:09Backing out already?
00:06:10We both know that you can't beat us.
00:06:13Here, let me help you with tomorrow's headline.
00:06:15Heinz crumbles.
00:06:17Leon begs for mercy.
00:06:19We've always let our craft speak for us.
00:06:22Fine.
00:06:22Leon Heinz accepts your challenge.
00:06:24Deal.
00:06:25And now,
00:06:27please welcome
00:06:28the world's top-tasting authority,
00:06:31Mr. Herrods,
00:06:32head of the legendary Herrods culinary dynasty.
00:06:40No one matches his credentials.
00:06:42If he says the dish is good, it's gospel.
00:06:45And he's brutally picky.
00:06:47If we send a poor kid out there,
00:06:48we're doomed.
00:06:51Oh, by the way, Leon,
00:06:53I heard you and Chef Hugo lost your sense of taste.
00:06:56Running out of chefs, are we?
00:06:58James, you bastard!
00:07:00I knew it wasn't a coincidence.
00:07:01You had someone tamper with our food.
00:07:04No, not here.
00:07:05All right, not on our turf.
00:07:06You're not walking out of here with the wind.
00:07:07Boss,
00:07:08let me represent Heinz against Terry.
00:07:11Are you sure about this, Grace?
00:07:12Even I can only go toe-to-toe with Terry at best.
00:07:15A chef who's never earned a single Michelin star versus Terry.
00:07:19The guy who has won three Michelin three stars.
00:07:22We'd be better off letting Kathy...
00:07:23I'll do it!
00:07:31So, this is it, Leon?
00:07:33Heinz is so desperate that you're going to let a child cook for you?
00:07:38Move, you little street rat!
00:07:39Honestly, no manners.
00:07:42Don't you ever lay a hand on my chef?
00:07:44Oh, please!
00:07:45If I beat a kid, there's no glory of that.
00:07:48This is pathetic.
00:07:49Boss, we're really letting a kid handle something this big?
00:07:53Renee's hanging on by one Michelin star.
00:07:55One wrong move, and our whole reputation goes down the drain.
00:07:58Leon, he planned this.
00:08:00Poisoning our food to destroy our taste?
00:08:02It's all part of their scheme to take down Heinz.
00:08:05The only chef here whose talent surpasses all of yours is Catherine.
00:08:10If you're also capable, then tell me, who will face Terry?
00:08:13She's six years old!
00:08:15A dish made by a little brat can't possibly hold up.
00:08:18You'll never know how a dish tastes until you actually cook it.
00:08:22Renee said the exact same thing.
00:08:27Are you sure this flavor pattern will work?
00:08:31You'll never know how a dish tastes until you actually cook it.
00:08:36Why does every instinct in me say Catherine will win?
00:08:40All right, Catherine, you're up.
00:08:42Boss, seriously?
00:08:44You can't be choosing her.
00:08:46I do not approve.
00:08:50So, if I'm the head chef, how much are you going to pay me?
00:08:54Oh, unbelievable.
00:08:56How can she be this money hungry?
00:08:58Who raised this little brat?
00:09:00If you win, you get this number.
00:09:03Five thousand?
00:09:06Five million.
00:09:08Annual salary.
00:09:09Anna, why are you in advance?
00:09:11One, two, three, four, five.
00:09:15Five million.
00:09:16I can save my mommy.
00:09:18She's going to be okay.
00:09:19Of course.
00:09:20She grew up poor.
00:09:22No wonder she can only talk about the money.
00:09:25Catherine, how is your mother?
00:09:27Is she doing any better?
00:09:30Mommy!
00:09:31I got money now.
00:09:33I'm going to fix you.
00:09:34You're going to be okay.
00:09:35Sweetheart, are you all right?
00:09:37Are you safe?
00:09:39I'm okay, Mom.
00:09:40I just...
00:09:41I wish you were here.
00:09:43No.
00:09:44That voice.
00:09:45Her mother can't be Renee.
00:09:47My Renee?
00:09:50Ladies and gentlemen, the match begins now.
00:09:54The loser will forfeit their place in the 2026 Golden Fork Competition.
00:09:59For today's challenge, your appetizer must be built around white truffle.
00:10:05White truffle?
00:10:06That's one of the hardest ingredients to take.
00:10:08It needs seafood to anchor the flavor, otherwise the aroma collapses instantly.
00:10:12Good lord.
00:10:14Alaska Red King Crab.
00:10:15One of those goes for a million.
00:10:18Maison isn't even trying to hide it.
00:10:19They're here to crush us.
00:10:23One minute.
00:10:25He broke down a king crab in one minute.
00:10:28High-end ingredients and a nine-star chef?
00:10:32We're doomed.
00:10:38Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:10:42Are you hurt?
00:10:43Mm-hmm.
00:10:44If you can't keep going, it's fine.
00:10:46Just stop...
00:10:46No, I'm fine, and they will win.
00:10:49White truffle is Terry's signature.
00:10:51Carefully on.
00:10:52World might think Maison Group is bullying a child.
00:10:55Why do you grown-ups get to decide what I can and cannot do?
00:10:59Listen, little brat.
00:11:00Heinz is embarrassing itself enough already.
00:11:03Step aside and let someone competent take over.
00:11:05What are you going to cook, huh?
00:11:07You pocket-sized little...
00:11:10Then let's bet.
00:11:12If I lose, I'll walk away from here forever.
00:11:16And if I win, you all call me Chef Catherine.
00:11:23Fine.
00:11:24You think I'm afraid of a little kitchen brat?
00:11:32Wait, is she trying to make...
00:11:39She's butchering white truffle like that.
00:11:42Do they know how expensive it is?
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:45Heinz Group is done.
00:11:47Absolutely finished.
00:11:50Little brat.
00:11:51This is a competition.
00:11:52Not your kindergarten art project.
00:11:55Boss, make her stop.
00:11:57Let me take over before we embarrass ourselves to death.
00:12:01No substitutions meant competition.
00:12:03Everyone abides by the rules.
00:12:05Cat, sweetheart, are you sure about this?
00:12:09Magena, believe in me.
00:12:11You're my biggest fan, remember?
00:12:14Do you want some advice?
00:12:16Surrender now.
00:12:17That way your humiliation can stay local
00:12:19instead of going global.
00:12:22I said this would happen.
00:12:24Why is nobody listening to me?
00:12:27Mr. Harris, my dish is ready.
00:12:43The pairings, superb.
00:12:46Layers of sweetness, aroma, and death.
00:12:49This is undeniably the finest Alaska Red King crab I've ever tasted.
00:12:56Game over, Leon.
00:12:58We're doomed.
00:13:00Completely doomed!
00:13:01And all because of that little...
00:13:03If I had lost my sense of taste, we'd never be in this mess.
00:13:06Well then, Mr. Harris, go ahead and announce the winner.
00:13:09Hold it!
00:13:10Stop!
00:13:12Hold it!
00:13:13Stop!
00:13:14What now?
00:13:15You really think a little brat like you can pull out a miracle?
00:13:18I wasn't done yet.
00:13:20Please wait just one more second.
00:13:27I believe in Catherine.
00:13:29Hold on.
00:13:30Let her finish.
00:13:31For fairness, the timer hasn't expired.
00:13:33We'll wait for Catherine.
00:13:34Okay, now I'm done.
00:13:45Are you serious?
00:13:46You didn't even open it.
00:13:47Are you trying to fool us, kid?
00:13:49Nice job, Leon.
00:13:51Dragging in a little street rat and then pretending she's the next Master Renee.
00:13:55Get real.
00:13:56I need Parker, but that's my mother.
00:13:58Mr. Harris, let's stop wasting time.
00:14:02Are you sure you don't want to open it?
00:14:05A competition is a competition.
00:14:07We judge what is presented.
00:14:21No.
00:14:22No way.
00:14:23This.
00:14:25This resembles.
00:14:30How is it possible?
00:14:32The bubbles and pearls are all white truffle.
00:14:35You can eat every single one.
00:14:40How did she get them this exact, this delicate, this real?
00:14:44Now this is what a true white truffle dish looks like.
00:14:49This truffle flavor.
00:14:51Magnificent.
00:14:52I'm honestly at a loss for words.
00:14:54Oh, no.
00:14:55It's impossible.
00:14:56White truffle is fragile.
00:14:58It's too soft to manipulate like this.
00:15:01And kid shouldn't even be capable of this.
00:15:02I named it Truffle, Pearl, and Ocean Mix.
00:15:06She used liquid nitrogen to cool the truffle cream, creating a perfect truffle sphere.
00:15:10It looks like a real pearl because it has crafted like one.
00:15:14No way.
00:15:16Just a child.
00:15:17Look at the luster.
00:15:19Heavy pearl translucent.
00:15:21Textured.
00:15:22Flawless.
00:15:22This is extraordinary.
00:15:25Wait.
00:15:26This looks exactly like Rene's signature dish.
00:15:32The legend, Rene?
00:15:34This technique.
00:15:35This vision.
00:15:36Only Rene ever created something like this.
00:15:38Catherine, who are you?
00:15:39No one, no one can turn white truffle into pearls and make them taste good.
00:15:45You must have cheated.
00:15:47I supervised every second.
00:15:49Cheating is impossible.
00:15:51Which means the winner is...
00:15:56Catherine.
00:15:58Catherine.
00:16:04I won.
00:16:06So now you have to call me Chef Catherine.
00:16:09Remember?
00:16:09But I, Grace, you're the soup chef.
00:16:13A bet's a bet.
00:16:14You know what to do.
00:16:17Welcome, Chef Catherine.
00:16:20My pleasure.
00:16:21I refuse to accept this.
00:16:23I'm a missional head star.
00:16:25Chef!
00:16:26Useless!
00:16:26Shut up.
00:16:28I paid you and you let some little bastard outperform you?
00:16:32Get lost.
00:16:34Leon, this is not over.
00:16:38I demand a second round.
00:16:40Catherine already beat your head chef.
00:16:42The competition is over.
00:16:44Who said the contest is only one round?
00:16:47Unless you're too scared to continue and want to forfeit.
00:16:53You shameless snake!
00:16:56Your head chef can't even out-cook, Catherine.
00:16:58And you're still here bluffing.
00:17:00Let's be real.
00:17:01We haven't even touched the main course.
00:17:03A single appetizer crowns no real chef.
00:17:07Right, Mr. Harrods?
00:17:08Indeed.
00:17:09Appetizers showcase creativity.
00:17:11But the actual culinary hierarchy is in the main dish.
00:17:15Okay then.
00:17:16If it's a main dish, I'm game.
00:17:18Oh, stop it.
00:17:20One chef, Catherine, and you think you're Gordon Ramsay Jr.?
00:17:24Main dishes require precision, timing, flavors, layered, textured, protein.
00:17:31This is advanced territory.
00:17:33If you're backing out, we'll log that in as an official forfeit.
00:17:36No one's forfeiting anything.
00:17:38All right, we're in.
00:17:40Catherine, keep going.
00:17:41Leon, let me take this one.
00:17:43Even taste blind, I can still cook.
00:17:45And I'm the sous chef.
00:17:47Obviously, I rank higher than a kindergartner.
00:17:50She won the first round.
00:17:51All right, she stays in.
00:17:53Ladies and gentlemen, for round two, allow me to present the legendary Master Renee's...
00:18:03Renee?
00:18:04Master Renee's most prized protege.
00:18:08The one whose skills are on her level.
00:18:11Master Ruby!
00:18:17Whoa!
00:18:18What?
00:18:19Mom's top protege?
00:18:21We've searched the corners of the world for Renee.
00:18:24How did we not know she had a protege?
00:18:26Master Renee wasn't just the best female chef in the country.
00:18:29She was a global icon.
00:18:32If Ruby inherits those culinary secrets, we're cooked.
00:18:37Wait, since when did Mom have a protege?
00:18:40I'm my mom's best student.
00:18:43We're talking about Master Renee.
00:18:46Nobody even knows who your mom is.
00:18:48If Ruby really is Master Renee's protege, then there's no chance we can win this at all.
00:18:53Well, are we competing or what?
00:18:55So tell me, which one of you is dying to get humiliated first?
00:19:00Me!
00:19:02You, you little kid.
00:19:04Aren't you scared?
00:19:05Scared of what, you?
00:19:08Please, you're not even the real thing.
00:19:11You're a knockoff.
00:19:13You're a fake.
00:19:15She called her a fake?
00:19:19What did you just say, kid?
00:19:22Sweetheart, are you saying Ruby isn't Renee's protege?
00:19:26Nonsense.
00:19:27What would a pint-sized rat know about anything?
00:19:30Where did this little stray even crawl out from anyway?
00:19:33You question Master Ruby again and I'll teach you some manners.
00:19:36Don't confuse age with authority.
00:19:39Don't confuse size with fear.
00:19:41You don't scare me.
00:19:43You.
00:19:44You.
00:19:45You.
00:19:4920 minutes.
00:19:51Your main dish challenge.
00:19:52Beef, let the round begin.
00:19:55That control.
00:19:57That's the nest.
00:19:59Cat isn't even going to have a leak.
00:20:02That's the perfect pamphlet.
00:20:05Master Ruby's signature move.
00:20:09So Ruby really is.
00:20:11Told you.
00:20:12Mind blown yet?
00:20:13Perfect greeting.
00:20:14The ideal attempt to push garlic to its aromatic peak without burning it.
00:20:18That's impossible.
00:20:20I've never seen such precision.
00:20:23Ruby operates at a level that you all can't even dream of.
00:20:26Face it, Leon.
00:20:27You.
00:20:27Your staff.
00:20:29Your whole sad little restaurant.
00:20:30You're not golden fork material.
00:20:32Save yourself the humiliation and tap out now.
00:20:35Oh no.
00:20:37If we lose the slot, we're totally finished.
00:20:42Cat, you're our last shot.
00:20:44Okay, right now, every hope I have is on you.
00:20:54Seriously, Cat?
00:20:56This is a championship.
00:20:57Not your toy kitchen at home.
00:21:00What is this kid doing?
00:21:01Huh.
00:21:02Keep it up.
00:21:03Because she is going to single-handedly bankrupt the entire Heinz group.
00:21:07Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:21:10Her side dishes are oddly similar to Ruby's.
00:21:14What?
00:21:16Cat, what are you thinking?
00:21:18Don't tell me that you're actually trying to make Master Renee's golden beef.
00:21:22Copying the golden beef?
00:21:25Seriously, Cat?
00:21:27You have no backbone at all.
00:21:29Ruby's technique is flawless.
00:21:32Her steak is almost done.
00:21:34And our chef Cat is what?
00:21:39Making candy beef stew?
00:21:42This is a competition.
00:21:43Ruby is cooking authentic golden beef.
00:21:48I love sweets.
00:21:49Who doesn't?
00:21:52Cat, are you sabotaging us?
00:21:55Who throws candy into a main dish?
00:21:58I still can't believe you put this little rat against Master Ruby.
00:22:02What a joke.
00:22:03Nobody is more qualified than me.
00:22:06Because I am the only one that can make the real golden beef.
00:22:13This is ridiculous.
00:22:15If you screw this up, Cat, you won't just tank Renee's restaurant.
00:22:20You'll nuke Heinz Group's stock and shut down trading.
00:22:24Can you carry that on your tiny shoulders?
00:22:26Stocks?
00:22:27No idea what it is.
00:22:29But I do know you're talking way too loud.
00:22:32You're messing up my vibe.
00:22:34We're not even cooking steak properly!
00:22:36Sir, we have Michelin chefs on payroll.
00:22:40And you're betting everything on this little...
00:22:42No justifications.
00:22:43Okay, I trust her.
00:22:44Period.
00:22:46Zoom in.
00:22:47Here's tomorrow's front page.
00:22:49Heinz Group wipes out.
00:22:51CEO bets on child chef.
00:22:58Mr. Harris?
00:23:00My dish is ready.
00:23:07That's my girl.
00:23:08Perfect.
00:23:10Clock's ticking.
00:23:11If Cat isn't ready, that's an automatic loss.
00:23:14Catherine, if you cannot present on time, you forfeit the round.
00:23:24Oh, come on.
00:23:25Is she cooking here or is she trying to stage an accident?
00:23:31I'm done, Mr. Harris.
00:23:33Please enjoy.
00:23:34Bring both dishes forward.
00:23:35We open them simultaneously.
00:23:53So this is the legendary golden beef.
00:23:57The aroma, extraordinary.
00:24:00The crust, like molten gold.
00:24:03Ladies and gentlemen, this is what pedigree looks like.
00:24:07Ruby darling, you were practically born winning.
00:24:14Oh, good God.
00:24:17The textures.
00:24:18The umami layers.
00:24:20I've reviewed Michelin Temple for years.
00:24:22And this might be the closest thing to edible divinity I've ever tasted.
00:24:27I trade my monocle cliffside villa for a second plate again.
00:24:30No hesitation.
00:24:33With ordinary beef, she made this.
00:24:35Our skills really are terrifying.
00:24:38Heinz is doomed.
00:24:40Cat just nuked our future.
00:24:41Leon, why don't you just skip the embarrassment?
00:24:45No need to reveal whatever microwave tragedy your little street rat cooked up.
00:24:50Honestly, Cat should actually stick to unboxing frozen Aldi meals.
00:24:55It's way more her brand.
00:24:58Mr. Harris, feel free to crown us.
00:25:01The outcome is obvious.
00:25:04Excuse me?
00:25:06Who said you won?
00:25:07Mr. Harris hasn't even seen my golden beef.
00:25:11Maybe try looking before you open that giant mouth of yours.
00:25:19Oh my God.
00:25:22This is your finished dish?
00:25:24Did you confuse a Michelin restaurant for a kindergarten bake sale?
00:25:29Leon, honestly, how do you show your face running a joke like this?
00:25:34This is pathetic.
00:25:35You really thought copying me would magically turn into golden beef?
00:25:39This isn't cooking.
00:25:41This is a cry for help.
00:25:43That's weird.
00:25:44This isn't how it's supposed to turn out.
00:25:48Boss, I told you this little brat was going to tank our reputation.
00:25:54Congrats, kid.
00:25:55You're officially the biggest PR disaster in Heinz's history.
00:25:59Relax.
00:26:00Heinz is already halfway to the grave.
00:26:03I'm just here to throw in the final handful of dirt.
00:26:06Madam, I'm sorry.
00:26:08If not for my failing taste buds, Heinz wouldn't be in ruins.
00:26:14You, you owe us everything you just destroyed.
00:26:18Honestly, save yourself the embarrassment.
00:26:20Come join the mazen group and all you have to do is kiss the bottom of my shoe.
00:26:25And I'll consider hiring you.
00:26:26Maybe.
00:26:33You really shouldn't celebrate yet.
00:26:36Mr. Harris hasn't even seen my golden beef.
00:26:57The legendary golden lion exists.
00:27:02The legends were true.
00:27:07Where's all the smoke coming from?
00:27:09Oh my, in response to the aroma of golden beef.
00:27:13This is Master Rene's Lord's signature dish.
00:27:16The one that vanished years ago.
00:27:20There's no way a six-year-old could pull that off.
00:27:24This is witchcraft.
00:27:27Witchcraft, Chris, come on.
00:27:29I told you, I'm the only one that can recreate Master Rene's signature dish.
00:27:36Liar.
00:27:37The lion would never respond to your cooking.
00:27:39The golden beef is mine.
00:27:41I'm the one and only protege of Master Rene.
00:27:45Stop lying.
00:27:46You should be ashamed.
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:48Whatever you cooked earlier,
00:27:50even the raccoon outside our dumpster would have turned that down.
00:27:54Mr. Harris, save your tongue.
00:27:57Let's just wrap this up in crown ruby.
00:28:00Hines has embarrassed itself enough for one day.
00:28:03You grown-ups are seriously shameless.
00:28:05Oh, you want attitude?
00:28:08Well, let's see how long it lasts
00:28:10once I taste your so-called golden beef.
00:28:24James?
00:28:25James?
00:28:26Hello?
00:28:27Say something.
00:28:29Herons, you take a bite.
00:28:40This...
00:28:41This can't be real.
00:28:42He's speechless because it's disgusting.
00:28:45You should just surrender now, kid.
00:28:48Yes, Mr. Harris.
00:28:49Don't protect her.
00:28:52It's...
00:28:53Phenomenal!
00:28:55My God.
00:28:57This is truly crafted by human hands.
00:29:00It tastes like the gates of heaven just opened up for me.
00:29:03Told you!
00:29:04She's a normal!
00:29:07Boss, don't listen to her.
00:29:09I'll taste it myself.
00:29:15No.
00:29:16No way.
00:29:18There's no way a kid made this!
00:29:21The verdict is clear.
00:29:23Catherine's dish is the true successor
00:29:25to Master Renee's signature golden beef.
00:29:28And the winner is...
00:29:34Catherine!
00:29:42We did it!
00:29:44Green Egg Restaurant is safe!
00:29:49That was incredible.
00:29:53Now where's my five million?
00:29:58There's five million on this card.
00:29:59It's all yours.
00:30:00Spend on whatever you want.
00:30:02Thank you!
00:30:04Thank you, Daddy Leon!
00:30:06You're the best!
00:30:11Oh yeah.
00:30:12James.
00:30:13James.
00:30:13You bring a fake chef
00:30:14and pass her off
00:30:15as Master Renee's protege?
00:30:17Shame on you.
00:30:18Damn it!
00:30:19You!
00:30:20You think you can play me like this?
00:30:23You...
00:30:23You lying piece of trash!
00:30:27Sorry, please!
00:30:27I'm sorry!
00:30:28Give me one more chance!
00:30:29I'll do anything!
00:30:31Hey!
00:30:31Take her out of my sight!
00:30:34And break every tendon in her hands!
00:30:38No!
00:30:38Please!
00:30:39Small reminder, James.
00:30:41It's time to honor your wages.
00:30:43Who the hell told you to take photographs
00:30:45and delete it?
00:30:47Here.
00:30:50Ten million.
00:30:54And nobody,
00:30:55and I mean nobody,
00:30:58will leak what happened here today.
00:31:01And as for the golden fork,
00:31:04I'll get in my own way.
00:31:05Still cheating your way through life, huh?
00:31:07That's fine.
00:31:08We'll beat you anyplace, anywhere.
00:31:10Get ready.
00:31:10Because next time,
00:31:11I am bringing in
00:31:13a real Master Chef.
00:31:15Let's see how your little bastard
00:31:17survives that.
00:31:24Where's Catherine?
00:31:25She took your black card
00:31:26and ran out the door.
00:31:27She said she was going to the hospital
00:31:29to save her mom.
00:31:31Master Carter,
00:31:32on behalf of Maze and Dining Group,
00:31:34I'm inviting you to represent us
00:31:36in the 2026 Golden Fork competition.
00:31:45Now,
00:31:46about this kid,
00:31:48Catherine,
00:31:48she reminds me a lot of Renee
00:31:50back in the day.
00:31:52if she rises,
00:31:54your throne could get a little shaky.
00:31:56Renee,
00:31:57she was brilliant,
00:31:58but she still lost to me.
00:32:00And a kid with sticky fingers
00:32:02and zero discipline
00:32:03won't even qualify as competition.
00:32:05But she recreated Renee's signature dish,
00:32:08and she...
00:32:08Enough.
00:32:10Renee was astute.
00:32:11If Renee herself walked in here
00:32:13with the kid holding her apron,
00:32:15they'd never beat me.
00:32:18Right.
00:32:21Renee has had her moment,
00:32:23but now she's all burned out.
00:32:25Rumor has it,
00:32:26she can't even cook anymore.
00:32:28That was her own downfall.
00:32:30Now, for this competition,
00:32:32you give me enough money,
00:32:34I'll make sure the stage stays mine.
00:32:42Renee,
00:32:43your liver transplant
00:32:44can't wait any longer.
00:32:46If we delay,
00:32:47the window closes
00:32:48and recovery gets harder.
00:32:49Much harder.
00:32:51I know,
00:32:51I know.
00:32:53Thank you,
00:32:54Tina.
00:32:55Mom!
00:32:57I got the money!
00:32:59We can start your surgery right away!
00:33:01And guess what?
00:33:02I found Dad!
00:33:04Okay,
00:33:05whoa, whoa, whoa,
00:33:06sweetheart,
00:33:06slow down.
00:33:08Tell Mommy,
00:33:08how did you find Dad?
00:33:09Mom,
00:33:10I saw him,
00:33:11for real.
00:33:11And he's super handsome.
00:33:13His name is Leon.
00:33:14His restaurant
00:33:15is literally
00:33:16called Renee.
00:33:18So,
00:33:18he has to be my dad.
00:33:22He used my name.
00:33:23Could it really be him?
00:33:25I mean,
00:33:26but,
00:33:26Renee,
00:33:27it's not that,
00:33:28that rare Renee made.
00:33:29It could just be a coincidence.
00:33:33Could it?
00:33:40I'm so sorry.
00:33:42I lost to Carter.
00:33:43My hands.
00:33:44I can't cook anymore.
00:33:46You deserve a partner
00:33:47who can stand beside you,
00:33:48not someone who drags your restaurant down.
00:33:51Why would Kat run to the hospital alone?
00:33:54Why wouldn't she call us?
00:33:58Renee,
00:33:58we still want you.
00:34:00Zack,
00:34:01step on it,
00:34:01now.
00:34:06Mommy!
00:34:09Somebody help me, Mom!
00:34:11She can't breathe!
00:34:13Please!
00:34:17We need 2 of 6,
00:34:19female 28.
00:34:20FCO2 is hanking.
00:34:22Acute hepatic failure.
00:34:23We're out of time.
00:34:24We've got to go now.
00:34:29It's okay, Mom.
00:34:31I'm right here.
00:34:32You're not alone.
00:34:36He's critical.
00:34:37We need to get her to serve her right now.
00:34:41Katherine!
00:34:50Daddy!
00:34:51Tell her what happened.
00:34:54It's okay, sweetheart.
00:34:55It's okay.
00:34:55Daddy, you have to save Mommy.
00:34:57She can't breathe.
00:35:00She's critical.
00:35:01We have to get her to serve her right now.
00:35:03Please.
00:35:03Do whatever you can.
00:35:04Get her to serve her immediately.
00:35:10I've been searching for you for 6 years.
00:35:16I know your hands will happen.
00:35:18We need to move.
00:35:19Yeah.
00:35:19Please do whatever you can to save her.
00:35:36The surgery went smoothly.
00:35:37She's stable now.
00:35:39No talking.
00:35:40You need to rest.
00:35:42From this moment on,
00:35:44we stay together.
00:35:45Okay?
00:35:46No more running.
00:35:46No more losing each other.
00:35:48We're a family.
00:35:49I'm never letting go of you again.
00:35:54Hey.
00:35:56Time for a second dose.
00:36:09Renee, I think it's time
00:36:11that you told me
00:36:12what really happened
00:36:12six years ago.
00:36:15Uh, it was the final round
00:36:17of the Golden Fork.
00:36:18It was just Carter and me.
00:36:21And his assistant accidentally
00:36:23poured a pot of boiling oil
00:36:25and my entire station
00:36:26went into flames.
00:36:27My hands burned so badly
00:36:30that I never thought
00:36:31I'd be able to cook again.
00:36:32Accidentally.
00:36:33No, Carter,
00:36:35but he's dirty.
00:36:35He always has.
00:36:36Of course, he tried to sabotage
00:36:37the only chef who could beat him.
00:36:39Well, a chef without her hands
00:36:41is nothing.
00:36:44And I couldn't drag you into it,
00:36:46so I just left.
00:36:47Renee, you've never been
00:36:48a burden to me.
00:36:50Losing you was,
00:36:51but you're here now.
00:36:52You and Catherine.
00:36:54And I'm never letting go
00:36:55of either of you again.
00:36:58Boss.
00:36:59Urgent.
00:37:00James and Carter
00:37:01just held a joint press conference.
00:37:03Carter will represent
00:37:04the Mason group
00:37:04in the 2026 Golden Fork competition.
00:37:12That's the bad guy
00:37:13who hurt Mommy.
00:37:14I'll beat him myself.
00:37:16Okay, sweetie.
00:37:17It's okay.
00:37:17He kept us apart for six years.
00:37:19He's gonna pay for every second of it.
00:37:30Finally,
00:37:31a dinner with Mommy and Daddy.
00:37:33I'm the luckiest kid ever.
00:37:43I can't taste anything.
00:37:47What?
00:37:49Mommy, Daddy,
00:37:51I think I lost my taste.
00:37:58James sent rats into my house.
00:38:05Sarah.
00:38:07You poisoned my daughter?
00:38:09No, sir.
00:38:10I didn't.
00:38:10I would never do anything like that.
00:38:12Save the lies.
00:38:17The last dish I had
00:38:18before I lost my taste
00:38:19came from you
00:38:19and Hugo.
00:38:21Okay,
00:38:21you not only betrayed me,
00:38:22but you sabotaged
00:38:23my entire kitchen.
00:38:23James forced me to.
00:38:25He said it was
00:38:26a special flavor and answer.
00:38:27I needed the money.
00:38:28Please, Mr. Hines.
00:38:29I would never do anything like that.
00:38:33Out!
00:38:34Go!
00:38:39Yo,
00:38:40who's calling?
00:38:41Shut your damn mouth.
00:38:42You talking to my daughter?
00:38:43You fed her poison?
00:38:44Criminal.
00:38:46So,
00:38:47the little bastard
00:38:48lost her taste too.
00:38:49Great.
00:38:50Your maid did excellent work.
00:38:52Now tell me,
00:38:53who's cooking for you now?
00:38:54You're done.
00:38:56Daddy,
00:38:57Mommy,
00:38:58what can I do?
00:38:59Don't worry.
00:39:00I'm back on my feet now.
00:39:02And I promise
00:39:03I'm going to take care of you.
00:39:04I'm going to take care
00:39:05of this whole family.
00:39:07I will win.
00:39:09I have to.
00:39:22Look around.
00:39:23This place is crawling
00:39:25with world-class chefs.
00:39:27And we're really letting
00:39:27a little brat compete again?
00:39:29Why not?
00:39:31Half the chefs here
00:39:32can't even hold
00:39:32a candle to Kat.
00:39:42So,
00:39:43where's your tiny prodigy,
00:39:45Leon?
00:39:46Oh,
00:39:47wait.
00:39:48She's not coming, right?
00:39:50That's none of your business.
00:39:51James,
00:39:52maybe worry about
00:39:53your own chefs first.
00:39:55Kat beat every expensive
00:39:56master you hired.
00:39:58I was tricked last time.
00:40:00This round,
00:40:02totally different.
00:40:03I said we'd win.
00:40:04That hasn't changed.
00:40:05Leon,
00:40:06you just don't get it,
00:40:08do you?
00:40:25Master Carter?
00:40:27Oh, God.
00:40:28Master Carter's
00:40:28the reigning champion.
00:40:30With Rene gone,
00:40:30he's basically
00:40:31the undisputed number one.
00:40:32Now,
00:40:33who's cooking for you,
00:40:35Leon?
00:40:36Is it the
00:40:37taste-blind chef
00:40:38or the
00:40:3870-year-old grandma?
00:40:43Watch your mess.
00:40:47Carter here.
00:40:49Top chef has basically
00:40:50already decided.
00:40:51Rene lost to him
00:40:51once in her final match.
00:40:53Rene was way stronger.
00:40:54Everybody knows
00:40:54Carter plays dirty.
00:40:56Like I said,
00:40:57top chef
00:40:58and top restaurant.
00:41:00Both
00:41:00are mine
00:41:01this year.
00:41:02Why don't you two
00:41:03do yourselves a favor?
00:41:05Walk out now.
00:41:08Carter has sabotaged
00:41:09more chefs
00:41:10than I can count.
00:41:11He's poisoned the entire industry.
00:41:12Should've been banned years ago.
00:41:14Cooking isn't just about skill.
00:41:16It's about influence.
00:41:17Who eats your food?
00:41:18My clients include
00:41:20presidents
00:41:20and heads of state.
00:41:22Even the president books
00:41:23three months ahead.
00:41:24You think you could beat me?
00:41:26Ridiculous.
00:41:27I'll celebrate too early.
00:41:47You.
00:41:48What are you doing here?
00:41:52Your hands.
00:41:54That's impossible.
00:41:55They were destroyed.
00:41:57Then maybe you
00:41:57underestimated
00:41:58what I'm capable of.
00:42:11No, your hands.
00:42:12They shouldn't even
00:42:13be functioning.
00:42:14And yet here I am.
00:42:15Fully healed
00:42:16and fully ready.
00:42:17And this time,
00:42:18Carter,
00:42:18you're not gonna lay
00:42:19a single trap.
00:42:20Trap or no trap,
00:42:21I'd break you either way.
00:42:23Look at this lineup.
00:42:24We have the
00:42:25comeback has-been
00:42:26or the
00:42:27pint-sized wannabe.
00:42:28Do you two
00:42:29really think
00:42:29that you're
00:42:30championship material?
00:42:31Say one more word.
00:42:33Try me.
00:42:34Relax,
00:42:35Daddy Leon.
00:42:37Since you're
00:42:38so confident,
00:42:39how about we
00:42:40make a little wager?
00:42:40If you lose,
00:42:42you sell Heinz Group
00:42:43to me
00:42:4430 cents
00:42:45on the dollar.
00:42:46And if you lose
00:42:47every injury,
00:42:48every scar,
00:42:49all the humiliation
00:42:50that you cause,
00:42:51Renee,
00:42:52I'll return to you
00:42:52in tenfold.
00:42:53And this time,
00:42:54Carter,
00:42:54I'm gonna finish
00:42:55what I'm started.
00:42:56Mom,
00:42:57show them
00:42:57what you're
00:42:58real life in us.
00:43:08Renee,
00:43:09save yourself
00:43:10the humiliation.
00:43:11Walk away
00:43:11while you still can.
00:43:12Intimidation
00:43:13isn't a strategy,
00:43:14Carter.
00:43:15You can always
00:43:15try harder.
00:43:16That signature
00:43:17Renee ego,
00:43:18let's see if
00:43:18it's aged well
00:43:19or just expired.
00:43:27Welcome
00:43:28to the
00:43:292026
00:43:30Golden Fork
00:43:31Competition.
00:43:36Round one theme,
00:43:38Ryujin Lemon.
00:43:39Only the top
00:43:40four chefs
00:43:41move forward.
00:43:44Ryujin Lemons
00:43:45are a molecular
00:43:46nightmare.
00:43:47If anyone can
00:43:48tame them,
00:43:48it's you,
00:43:49Renee.
00:43:49The stage was built
00:43:50for you.
00:43:51Go own it.
00:43:52Round one,
00:43:53begin!
00:44:06I can't even
00:44:07see his hands.
00:44:08They're moving
00:44:08so fast.
00:44:09This heat is
00:44:10over 200 degrees
00:44:12Celsius.
00:44:13This is the
00:44:14real master.
00:44:15Master Carter
00:44:16is on fire today.
00:44:17I don't think
00:44:18Renee can beat him.
00:44:20Wait,
00:44:20she's doing the
00:44:21same thing.
00:44:22Her hands
00:44:22are moving
00:44:23just as fast.
00:44:24But,
00:44:25but her hands
00:44:26were ruined
00:44:27before.
00:44:28How can she
00:44:28move so fast?
00:44:31That's my wife.
00:44:32Always does
00:44:32the impossible.
00:44:41Carter is done.
00:44:42Final time.
00:44:4355 minutes.
00:44:5555 minutes.
00:44:58Master Carter
00:44:59is in
00:44:59God mode
00:45:00today.
00:45:01The Ryujin
00:45:01Lemons typically
00:45:02takes 8 to
00:45:0324 hours to
00:45:04make.
00:45:04Finishing in
00:45:05one hour.
00:45:06That's impressive.
00:45:08Can Renee finish
00:45:09in time?
00:45:10Can Renee finish
00:45:10in time?
00:45:12Can Renee finish
00:45:14Can Renee finish
00:45:17Time's up.
00:45:18Mr. Harrods,
00:45:19please.
00:45:20Ha!
00:45:21She finished
00:45:21right on the
00:45:22buzzer.
00:45:23No way that
00:45:24the quality
00:45:24will hold up.
00:45:38Cold,
00:45:38sour,
00:45:39sweet,
00:45:40crisp.
00:45:41Every layer
00:45:41is here.
00:45:42Carter's
00:45:43lemon is
00:45:43textbook excellence.
00:45:47The cut,
00:45:48the color,
00:45:50pure master
00:45:51class.
00:45:52This is what
00:45:52real Top Chef
00:45:53looks like.
00:45:54If Carter
00:45:55trained me,
00:45:56I'd be
00:45:57unstoppable.
00:46:04Why did he
00:46:05freeze?
00:46:06Is something
00:46:06wrong?
00:46:07Must be a
00:46:08texture problem.
00:46:09Renee rushed
00:46:10too much.
00:46:13Leon,
00:46:14you let your
00:46:15wife cook
00:46:16like that
00:46:17on a global
00:46:18livestream?
00:46:19Bold move.
00:46:20Relax.
00:46:21I remember
00:46:22my six-year-old
00:46:22daughter destroyed
00:46:23half your team.
00:46:29This is art.
00:46:31The curve
00:46:31is natural.
00:46:32The flavor
00:46:33is alive.
00:46:34Every detail
00:46:35is crafted
00:46:36with soul.
00:46:44both dishes
00:46:45are excellent.
00:46:49But Renee's
00:46:50dish has
00:46:51artistry and
00:46:52balance,
00:46:53depth,
00:46:54and heart.
00:46:55Round winner,
00:46:56Renee.
00:47:00That's my wife.
00:47:01Always untouchable.
00:47:03Renee champion!
00:47:04Renee champion!
00:47:09So,
00:47:10the burned
00:47:11hands still
00:47:12work.
00:47:13What a miracle.
00:47:14My hands
00:47:14are fine.
00:47:16It's your
00:47:16ego that
00:47:17needs the ER.
00:47:18You're bold
00:47:19today.
00:47:19No,
00:47:20just honest.
00:47:21And your
00:47:21threats?
00:47:22You're
00:47:23annoys.
00:47:24Let's see how
00:47:24long that
00:47:25confidence lasts.
00:47:27Grand finale.
00:47:28Fish,
00:47:28main dish.
00:47:29Three elite
00:47:30judges,
00:47:31ten points
00:47:32max.
00:47:33Hold up.
00:47:34I'm adding
00:47:35a wager.
00:47:36Let's turn
00:47:36this into
00:47:37a death
00:47:37match.
00:47:38Again?
00:47:39Same trick,
00:47:40same pathetic
00:47:41intimidation.
00:47:42This time
00:47:42I won't
00:47:43back down.
00:47:44I have
00:47:44my daughter,
00:47:45my husband,
00:47:46and my
00:47:46entire group
00:47:47behind me.
00:47:48So go
00:47:48ahead.
00:47:49Bring it.
00:47:50If you
00:47:50lose,
00:47:51I'll take
00:47:52your eyes.
00:47:53I'll make
00:47:53sure today
00:47:54is the last
00:47:54time you
00:47:55ever see a
00:47:56kitchen.
00:48:02I knew
00:48:03it.
00:48:04Carter loves
00:48:05these stupid
00:48:05death match
00:48:06rules.
00:48:06And after
00:48:07this,
00:48:07he'll probably
00:48:08crush everyone
00:48:09again.
00:48:10Walk away
00:48:11now.
00:48:11If you
00:48:12want to
00:48:12continue,
00:48:13you better
00:48:14start practicing
00:48:14cook and
00:48:15blind.
00:48:20You're
00:48:20sick.
00:48:21You've
00:48:21ruined this
00:48:22industry for
00:48:22years.
00:48:23Renee,
00:48:23I'll be
00:48:23generous.
00:48:24I'll give
00:48:25you three
00:48:25seconds to
00:48:26decide.
00:48:27You're
00:48:27nothing but
00:48:28a thug.
00:48:29This is
00:48:29straight-up
00:48:29extortion.
00:48:30Say it
00:48:31out loud.
00:48:32You're
00:48:32scared.
00:48:33I mean,

00:48:34quit.
00:48:35You,
00:48:36I...

00:48:41Renee,
00:48:41are you
00:48:41sure you
00:48:42want to
00:48:42continue?
00:48:45Well,
00:48:46what a pity.
00:48:46If someone
00:48:47quits,
00:48:48this year's
00:48:49champion is
00:48:50automatically...
00:48:51Hold on.
00:48:53Who said
00:48:54I'm quitting?
00:48:56Yes.
00:48:58Carter.
00:48:59Carter,
00:49:00I'm not backing
00:49:00down.

00:49:09out of your
00:49:10mind?

00:49:12Carter,
00:49:12your career
00:49:13is over
00:49:14as a chef.
00:49:15Then what
00:49:15about us?
00:49:16Heinz Group
00:49:16could be bought
00:49:17out at 30%
00:49:18of its value.
00:49:18What do you

00:50:27I was
00:50:27Carter's
00:50:27student.
00:50:28Six years
00:50:29ago,
00:50:29I didn't
00:50:30lose.
00:50:30I was
00:50:31sabotaged.
00:50:32Someone
00:50:33dropped
00:50:33boiling oil
00:50:34all over
00:50:35my station
00:50:35accidentally.
00:50:37If not
00:50:37for that,
00:50:38the Golden
00:50:38Fork would
00:50:38have been
00:50:39mine.
00:50:39Oh,
00:50:40still traumatized.
00:50:41Walk
00:50:41away then.
00:50:42Save

00:50:43I don't

00:51:16No one

00:51:43Stop the
00:51:44round!
00:51:44Now!
00:51:47You pathetic,
00:51:48talentless rat!
00:51:49You can't win
00:51:50so you maim
00:51:51people!
00:51:51No,
00:51:51please.
00:51:52If she can't
00:51:53control her
00:51:53tools, why is
00:51:55that my
00:51:55problem?
00:51:56Mocking
00:51:56injury?
00:51:57Mid-competition?
00:51:58Is this the
00:51:59circus now?
00:52:00Should I
00:52:00juggle to
00:52:01match the
00:52:01scene?
00:52:02Renee,
00:52:03listen to me.
00:52:03This is a
00:52:04concussion.
00:52:05You cannot
00:52:05continue cooking
00:52:06like this.
00:52:07I'm fine.
00:52:09It's nothing.
00:52:10How does a
00:52:11tenderizer fly off
00:52:12someone's station
00:52:13at that speed?
00:52:14Because he
00:52:15threw it!
00:52:16Snake can't win
00:52:16without having
00:52:17someone bleed for
00:52:18him.
00:52:22If the impact
00:52:23hit your optic
00:52:23nerve, you
00:52:24could go blind.
00:52:25Renee, one
00:52:26wrong move and
00:52:27your career is
00:52:27over.
00:52:28I'm still
00:52:29seeing.
00:52:31It's all I
00:52:32need.
00:52:44Drop the
00:52:45tough act.
00:52:46One wrong
00:52:46move.
00:52:47That eye
00:52:48goes dark
00:52:49for good.
00:52:50No more
00:52:51kitchen.
00:52:51No more
00:52:52future.
00:52:52You won't even
00:52:53get to see your
00:52:54daughter's face
00:52:54face again.
00:53:10Look at you.
00:53:11Barely standing.
00:53:12This isn't
00:53:13cooking.
00:53:13This is a
00:53:14countdown to
00:53:14your collapse.
00:53:22key fighting
00:53:23chef.
00:53:24The universe
00:53:24loves a
00:53:25tragic hero.
00:53:39She can't
00:53:40see straight.
00:53:40She's in real
00:53:41danger.
00:53:42Carter's won
00:53:42on this.
00:53:43It's done.
00:53:52Move.
00:53:54Move faster.
00:53:56Come on.
00:53:59I'm finished.
00:54:01Master Carter's
00:54:02dish is complete.
00:54:08Why is it my
00:54:10heat working?
00:54:12It's
00:54:13room at the
00:54:13station.
00:54:14Oh,
00:54:15Renee.
00:54:16You still
00:54:16believe effort
00:54:17beats power.
00:54:18My network
00:54:19runs half of
00:54:20this industry.
00:54:20If I say
00:54:21you lose,
00:54:22you lose.
00:54:32Carter,
00:54:33you shameless
00:54:33bastard!
00:54:42That's it.
00:54:43She's done.
00:54:44No heat,
00:54:44no seer.
00:54:45She's finished.
00:54:46This is
00:54:47sabotage.
00:54:48Carter must have
00:54:48planned every
00:54:49second of this.
00:54:51Four minutes,
00:54:52Renee.
00:54:53You couldn't beat
00:54:54me at your peak.
00:54:55Six years later,
00:54:56you think you could
00:54:57magically win now?
00:54:58Maybe go home.
00:55:00Take care of that
00:55:01kid you love so much.
00:55:02I request an
00:55:04immediate rematch.
00:55:06A rematch?
00:55:08What is this,
00:55:09a playground?
00:55:10She got hurt
00:55:11because she's
00:55:12slow and sloppy.
00:55:13If every chef
00:55:14cried foul,
00:55:15this competition
00:55:16would be a joke.
00:55:17Per the rules,
00:55:18if Master Renee
00:55:19fails to complete
00:55:20her dish,
00:55:21then this year's
00:55:22champion is
00:55:23automatically.
00:55:23She's cooking
00:55:25wild sablefish
00:55:26without high heat.
00:55:28The flesh will
00:55:29collapse.
00:55:30No texture,
00:55:31no structure.
00:55:33I told you all,
00:55:33Renee could never
00:55:34beat Carter,
00:55:35but no one
00:55:35listens to me.
00:55:37There has to be
00:55:38a way.
00:55:39Come on,
00:55:40think,
00:55:40Renee,
00:55:41think.
00:55:44Renee,
00:55:45even if that
00:55:45cooktop worked
00:55:46again,
00:55:46you've got what?
00:55:48Two minutes?
00:55:49That's not
00:55:50cooking time.
00:55:51It's a joke.
00:56:02The cooktop
00:56:03is now recreated.
00:56:05Master Renee,
00:56:07please confirm.
00:56:08Do you continue?
00:56:17Maybe,
00:56:19maybe I don't need
00:56:21my eyes at all.
00:56:22Oh,
00:56:22fantastic.
00:56:23She's officially
00:56:24lost it.
00:56:25She's pushed too
00:56:25hard.
00:56:25There's no way
00:56:26out of this.
00:56:28Go ahead.
00:56:29Impress me.
00:56:30Two minutes.
00:56:31One room fish
00:56:32in the wise.
00:56:34Let's see
00:56:35in miracles.
00:56:55What?
00:56:56What are you
00:56:57doing?
00:57:04She's cooking
00:57:04blind.
00:57:05A blindfolded
00:57:06chef?
00:57:07Is she trying to
00:57:07rewrite the rule
00:57:08book?
00:57:09Trust me,
00:57:10if Renee covers
00:57:10her eyes,
00:57:11it's because she's
00:57:11operating on a level
00:57:12that neither of you
00:57:13can.
00:57:14This is unreal.
00:57:16Master Renee is
00:57:17voluntarily blindfolded
00:57:19and she's still
00:57:20keeping pace.
00:57:21One minute left.
00:57:27I've done cooking
00:57:28competitions for 20
00:57:29years and I've never
00:57:30seen anything like
00:57:31this.
00:57:32Renee,
00:57:32you've made a
00:57:32lifelong fan.
00:57:34This is Renee,
00:57:35blindfolded or not,
00:57:36she hits the bullseye
00:57:36every time.
00:57:3830 seconds left.
00:57:39Show me how you
00:57:40plan to pull off
00:57:41the miracle.
00:57:42Renee,
00:57:42you're anxious
00:57:43from the ground.
00:57:43Keep going.
00:57:44Come on.
00:57:45Wake up,
00:57:45Leon.
00:57:46You're cheering
00:57:46for a woman who
00:57:47can't even see
00:57:48her own plate.
00:57:49The only thing
00:57:50Renee can't see
00:57:50is how low
00:57:51you're willing
00:57:52to go.
00:57:53Renee,
00:57:54come on,
00:57:54trust your hands.
00:57:55Own this moment.
00:57:56Final countdown.
00:57:58Five,
00:58:00four,
00:58:01three,
00:58:03two,
00:58:04one.
00:58:05Time!
00:58:06It appears
00:58:07Master Renee
00:58:08did not...
00:58:10I'm finished.
00:58:23Well,
00:58:24I told you
00:58:24the battle
00:58:25isn't over,
00:58:26and then you break
00:58:27my word.
00:58:28There we go,
00:58:29that's our girl!
00:58:32I never doubted
00:58:33you,
00:58:34not for a second.
00:58:38Cute speech,
00:58:39but let's stay
00:58:41realistic.
00:58:42You barely reached
00:58:43the buzzer.
00:58:44Your hands are shaking.
00:58:45Your pen never
00:58:46reached full heat.
00:58:47Let me guess,
00:58:48the fish is still
00:58:49swimming?
00:58:50You did hold on
00:58:51longer than I
00:58:52predicted,
00:58:52I'd give you that.
00:58:53But adrenaline
00:58:54is a cheap trick,
00:58:55Renee,
00:58:55and the bill is
00:58:56about to come due
00:58:57in those eyes.
00:58:59When this is over,
00:59:00you might not see
00:59:01a damn thing.
00:59:03Save your breath,
00:59:04I'm not interested.
00:59:05You're a blind chef
00:59:06trying to pull off
00:59:07a Michelin-grade
00:59:08mane.
00:59:09Please,
00:59:10I can't even
00:59:10suspend my disbelief
00:59:12that far.
00:59:12The nice notes
00:59:13you watched closely
00:59:14because you're about
00:59:15to eat your words
00:59:16with a side
00:59:17of humor.
00:59:18Both contestants
00:59:19have completed
00:59:20their dishes,
00:59:21and we now move
00:59:22into the final
00:59:23judging round.
00:59:33Leon,
00:59:34in a few minutes,
00:59:36your whole Heinz
00:59:37dining group
00:59:38will be sold
00:59:39to me
00:59:39for,
00:59:40oh,
00:59:41what was it again?
00:59:42Right.
00:59:4330% of its value.
00:59:46Ha!
00:59:46A bargain,
00:59:47really.
00:59:48Funny.
00:59:49Talk a lot
00:59:49for someone
00:59:50who's terrified
00:59:50of losing.
00:59:51Terrified,
00:59:52Leon?
00:59:52Let me tell you
00:59:53how the adults
00:59:54play the game.
00:59:55Do you know why
00:59:56Master Carter
00:59:57is undefeated?
00:59:58Because the entire
00:59:59Intercontinental Chef Association
01:00:01is our people.
01:00:06Here.
01:00:08The round one theme.
01:00:09That's your specialty.
01:00:11Good.
01:00:11And for the final round,
01:00:13whatever Renee makes,
01:00:14you give her
01:00:15exactly one point.
01:00:19Master Carter's
01:00:20Fish Wellington.
01:00:21Judges,
01:00:22please taste
01:00:23and score.
01:00:27Exquisite.
01:00:29Absolutely exquisite.
01:00:33Perfectly baked pastry.
01:00:36Moist,
01:00:36well-balanced fish.
01:00:38Technically outstanding.
01:00:44Nine.
01:00:46Nine.
01:00:54And a perfect ten
01:00:55from Tracy.
01:00:58Ten?
01:00:58Are you kidding?
01:00:59Master Carter
01:01:00actually got a perfect score.
01:01:07Oh my god.
01:01:09This basically crowns him.
01:01:11Carter is the winner.
01:01:11Two nines and a ten.
01:01:13For Renee to beat that,
01:01:14she'd basically need
01:01:15a perfect trilogy of tens.
01:01:17That's almost mythical.
01:01:21Well, Leon?
01:01:22Ready to bend the knee?
01:01:23Oh, go on.
01:01:25Be a good boy.
01:01:26And give me Heinz Dining Group
01:01:28for 30%.
01:01:29This is what domination
01:01:32looks like.
01:01:35James,
01:01:36I was blind before,
01:01:37but now,
01:01:38please,
01:01:39give me another chance.
01:01:40Well,
01:01:41damn.
01:01:42Finally,
01:01:42someone decides
01:01:43to pick the winning side.
01:01:44Grace,
01:01:45what are you doing?
01:01:46Have you lost your mind?
01:01:48I'm perfectly sane.
01:01:50You all are the crazy ones,
01:01:52putting all your hopes in,
01:01:53Renee.
01:01:53She will never be Carter.
01:01:55And when Heinz Group collapses,
01:01:56I won't be going down with you.
01:01:58That's the spirit.
01:02:00Stick with me,
01:02:01and I will give you
01:02:02designer heels,
01:02:03luxury cars,
01:02:05penthouses.
01:02:06In fact,
01:02:06I'll even crown you as
01:02:07Master Grace.
01:02:10How does that sound?
01:02:14Judges,
01:02:15please score
01:02:16Chef Renee's
01:02:18low-temp
01:02:18wild sablefish.
01:02:22Seriously?
01:02:23This looks like
01:02:24it belongs
01:02:25on a cheap hotel buffet.
01:02:26This is going
01:02:27to be fun.
01:02:28Ladies and gentlemen,
01:02:29watch closely.
01:02:31This
01:02:31is what
01:02:32losing looks like.
01:02:49Renee's current score is...
01:02:50What?
01:02:51A one?
01:02:53What?
01:02:54That's wrong.
01:02:55There must have been
01:02:56a mistake.
01:02:59Master Renee,
01:03:01even a street vendor
01:03:02wouldn't crash this hard.
01:03:03Grace,
01:03:04go on.
01:03:05Be a doll
01:03:06and tell your ex-colleagues
01:03:08that the door to Maison
01:03:09is open.
01:03:10I'll pretend today
01:03:11never happened.
01:03:13You bastard!
01:03:15I would never
01:03:16abandon my team.
01:03:17I would rather
01:03:18sleep under a bridge
01:03:19than work for you.
01:03:20Hey!
01:03:21Leon,
01:03:22I just gave your people
01:03:23some killer job offers.
01:03:25You better learn
01:03:26on how to take care
01:03:27of your blind wife.
01:03:28Renee,
01:03:29stop embarrassing yourself.
01:03:30The world runs
01:03:31on connections.
01:03:33That's helpful.
01:03:34Anyone can sear a fish.
01:03:35Do your kid a favor.
01:03:36Go home.
01:03:37Mommy duty suits you better.
01:03:39Carter,
01:03:40you still think you've won?
01:03:41Tell me I'm wrong.
01:03:43Your cod dish is pitiful.
01:03:44And honestly,
01:03:46giving you one point
01:03:47is cherry work.
01:03:48Really?
01:03:49Well,
01:03:50I have three judges
01:03:51who haven't scored yet.
01:03:52So why don't you
01:03:53keep your smug eyes open
01:03:54and watch closely?
01:04:01They're reevaluating.
01:04:02The match isn't over.
01:04:03It's not even close.
01:04:04No.
01:04:05No!
01:04:06This can't be real.
01:04:08This is not happening.
01:04:26No.
01:04:28No,
01:04:28that can't be.
01:04:29It's not a one.
01:04:30It's a ten.
01:04:30It's a perfect ten.
01:04:32Jesus.
01:04:34Ten.
01:04:35Ten.
01:04:35And ten?
01:04:37Master Renee
01:04:38just broke
01:04:38the all-time record.
01:04:40She's the highest-scoring chef
01:04:42in competition history.
01:04:44Three.
01:04:45Three tens.
01:04:47It's for her.
01:04:48I don't know.
01:04:50This is impossible.
01:04:52We planned it out
01:04:53on judges.
01:04:55She did it.
01:04:56Renee did it.
01:04:57We made history.
01:04:59No,
01:05:00her dish was basic.
01:05:02It was basic.
01:05:02I don't want to recount.
01:05:04She cheated.
01:05:06Still allergic to losing cotton?
01:05:08Basic.
01:05:09You got out-cooked by me.
01:05:11I'm in the square.
01:05:19Texture.
01:05:21Please.
01:05:22Please.
01:05:23Looked and finished.
01:05:25I've never tasted cotton.
01:05:26It's perfect.
01:05:42Carter.
01:05:43In the name of
01:05:44the International Culinary Association,
01:05:46you're officially expelled.
01:05:48Every partner,
01:05:49every restaurant,
01:05:50and every league,
01:05:52your name is blacklisted
01:05:53permanently.
01:05:55You're a lunatic.
01:05:56You can't just
01:05:57race me.
01:05:58Ten years of receipts.
01:06:01Bribery.
01:06:02Rig scores.
01:06:03Tainted plates.
01:06:05Board judges.
01:06:06All documented.
01:06:07All exposed.
01:06:12Carter?
01:06:14Got reported?
01:06:15You're kidding me, right?
01:06:17Damn right he did.
01:06:18That bastard.
01:06:19Carmel finally punched back.
01:06:22Carter, James.
01:06:23You're suspected of
01:06:25bribery and competition fraud.
01:06:27Take them straight to the police.
01:06:29Now.
01:06:30Paul!
01:06:31Buddy, come on.
01:06:32Let's talk about this.
01:06:33You want to talk?
01:06:34Fantastic.
01:06:35The police station has chairs, buddy.
01:06:38Oh, going somewhere?
01:06:40What?
01:06:42I'm your teacher.
01:06:43You can't do-
01:06:44And when you tried to destroy
01:06:45my entire life,
01:06:46did the word teacher
01:06:47even cross your mind?
01:06:49You broke our family.
01:06:50You tore us apart
01:06:51for six years,
01:06:52and now,
01:06:52it's time to pay your tab.
01:06:54What do you mean?
01:06:56What are you planning to do to me?
01:06:57You have plenty of time
01:06:58to think about that one
01:06:59behind bars.
01:07:00You'll regret this?
01:07:01All of you!
01:07:03Money?
01:07:04Access you.
01:07:05Power.
01:07:06Connections.
01:07:07I can give you everything.
01:07:07Everything!
01:07:08Pathetic.
01:07:09Pick them away.
01:07:10Hold it!
01:07:12Carter.
01:07:13Carter.
01:07:14You lost.
01:07:15And we're playing by your rules, right?
01:07:17Life or death match?
01:07:18So I think it's time you honor that.
01:07:20Hey, Master Carter.
01:07:22None of you lay a finger on me.
01:07:24You terrorized young chefs
01:07:25with these bets for years.
01:07:27You destroyed lives.
01:07:29Destroyed careers.
01:07:31Okay, but now,
01:07:32your bill has finally come due.
01:07:36You forget that you slammed this into me?
01:07:38Or is short-term memory loss
01:07:40just part of your personality?
01:07:42I amaze you.
01:07:43You are nobody from a country shack.
01:07:46You dare surpass me.
01:07:48Everything I did was for my title.
01:07:51Tell me.
01:07:52What did I do wrong?
01:07:53Everything.
01:08:03My hand.
01:08:04My hand.
01:08:13I was forced.
01:08:15It was James.
01:08:16He made me.
01:08:17I didn't want to.
