00:00:05The game now begins!
00:00:45Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic 5th consecutive World Culinary Championship!
00:00:52The only chef ever to claim the title 5 years in a row!
00:01:04And today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded,
00:01:10has officially been ranked number one in the world!
00:01:15She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality!
00:01:20Boss, the tattered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:01:27For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:01:30But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:01:34Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:01:37The first person to offer me food gets a $10 million investment.
00:01:41Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:01:45Wait! Don't go over there!
00:01:47What's wrong, babe?
00:01:48That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:01:51If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:01:55Let's take a side street.
00:01:57Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:02:00You know her?
00:02:01She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:02:04Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:02:07I've gotta record this.
00:02:09Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her,
00:02:14it'll screw up my image!
00:02:16Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:02:22Please, could someone...
00:02:23Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:02:45Are you alright?
00:02:51Jasper!
00:02:52Why are you standing around?
00:02:54With some filthy hobo?
00:02:57You gave my bread to her?!
00:02:59Your bread?
00:03:00I bought it.
00:03:01And you said you didn't want it.
00:03:04Even if I don't want it,
00:03:06it shouldn't be wasted
00:03:08on a sewer rat like her.
00:03:11She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:03:14Daisy, that's enough!
00:03:15I'm your fiancé and you're taking some random bum side over me?!
00:03:20If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:03:23Right now.
00:03:25Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:03:27What did you just say?!
00:03:28You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?!
00:03:32Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?!
00:03:34Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:03:36I made this decision a long time ago.
00:03:38Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:03:41You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:03:43My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:03:46Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:03:49You bastard! How dare you?!
00:03:52Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:03:55Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:03:58Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:04:02And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling,
00:04:04our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:04:10You're gonna regret this!
00:04:15Dad, Jasper just called off our engagement!
00:04:17Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:04:19I want you to strip him of everything!
00:04:30I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:04:31Please, take the money.
00:04:33At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:04:35No, I don't want all that money.
00:04:38Just a burger.
00:04:39Lady! That money could buy ten burgers!
00:04:42I only want one burger.
00:04:44Fresh off the grill.
00:04:46Still hot.
00:04:51Here you go.
00:04:52Hope it's what you wanted.
00:05:01Easy there.
00:05:02Take your time.
00:05:03And please, keep the money.
00:05:05It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:05:08You're a good man.
00:05:10It's nothing.
00:05:11His kindness.
00:05:12It's genuine.
00:05:15Then let me thank you properly.
00:05:18An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:05:22Covering the entire state?
00:05:25Nice try.
00:05:26But I'm not falling for this.
00:05:27You should take it back.
00:05:29Why would I be joking?
00:05:30My cousin works at Home Group.
00:05:32A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:05:36What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:05:38Well, you know what, never mind.
00:05:41If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:05:43Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:05:45Something else? No, that's really not.
00:05:51Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:05:52When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:05:54Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:05:57A situation?
00:05:58Did you two have a fight?
00:05:59Jasper, go make things right.
00:06:01Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:06:03We cannot lose the bride.
00:06:05And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:06:08Do you understand?
00:06:09Don't worry, I'll get you a bride.
00:06:12You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:06:14Yes.
00:06:16Anything.
00:06:17Then give me your hand.
00:06:27If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:06:31Marry you?
00:06:33No, I can't.
00:06:34My family's restaurant is in trouble.
00:06:36And my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:06:39But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:06:43So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride.
00:06:46And come home with me.
00:06:48Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:06:51That's...
00:06:51Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:06:53I'll give you $500 a day.
00:06:55You earn some steady cash.
00:06:57My family calms down.
00:06:58What do you say?
00:07:00Perfect.
00:07:01It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:07:06Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:07:29Wow.
00:07:31You look incredible.
00:07:35So...
00:07:37Wanna kiss?
00:07:39Woah, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:07:43You can't just start talking like that.
00:07:45Well, we could always make it real.
00:07:51I can't.
00:07:52I already have feelings for someone.
00:07:57It's her.
00:07:58The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:08:02Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on earth.
00:08:05And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:08:08The one and only culinary legend.
00:08:11She's the woman of my dreams!
00:08:13He's got a crush on me?
00:08:16That's...
00:08:16Unexpectedly adorable.
00:08:19So don't get any ideas.
00:08:21Maintain a safe distance.
00:08:23Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:08:28Relax.
00:08:29You're not my type.
00:08:30Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:08:33Impossible.
00:08:34My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:08:40Stay here.
00:08:41I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:08:44It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:08:48Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:08:51Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:08:56Right away, boss.
00:09:01Remember, if my parents ask what your family does,
00:09:06tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:09:09Annual revenue, let's see.
00:09:12Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year.
00:09:15So tell them yours makes $10 million.
00:09:17And you're okay with lying to them?
00:09:20My family's desperate for investment.
00:09:22The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé
00:09:25is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:09:28But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:09:30Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:09:34It'll work out.
00:09:36My idol always says,
00:09:38The only strength that matters is your own.
00:09:41I've spent years building my startup.
00:09:43One day, I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:09:47build a world-class restaurant,
00:09:49and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:10:00Is Jasper back yet?
00:10:02Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:10:08Mom, how can you say that?
00:10:10Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:10:14Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:10:18That's something to celebrate.
00:10:19Exactly.
00:10:20Jasper's 29.
00:10:22It's time he's settled down.
00:10:23And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:10:27Daisy Syrah's daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:10:31It's a good match.
00:10:32He's hardly suffering.
00:10:33What's so special about that rich girl?
00:10:36I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:10:40Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:10:48Wait, why isn't Daisy with you?
00:10:51Who is that?
00:10:55Jasper!
00:10:56What is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
00:10:59Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:11:02I don't love Daisy.
00:11:04Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:11:05And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:11:09Have you lost your mind?
00:11:11Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:11:13Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:11:17If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight!
00:11:20Enough!
00:11:22We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:11:25The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:11:29Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:11:32Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:11:36Where are you from?
00:11:37How many people are in your family?
00:11:39What do your parents do?
00:11:40And how much money do they make?
00:11:42We're from Houston. I'm an only child.
00:11:44My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
00:11:48Annual family income, $10 million.
00:11:52$10 million a year?
00:11:54Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here, and they only make five.
00:11:58This fiancé is the real deal.
00:11:59Well, isn't that wonderful? A restaurant family just like ours!
00:12:03I knew I liked you the moment I saw you!
00:12:06Called it.
00:12:12Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:12:14It's your wedding day. Why aren't they here?
00:12:18My parents are overseas on business. They couldn't get away.
00:12:22Right. Sage's parents are pretty hands-off. She makes her own decisions.
00:12:25As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:12:27That's true. Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:12:32Jasper, this was a reckless stunt. Next time, you talk to us first. Understood?
00:12:36Well then, let's not waste any more time. The ceremony's about to start. Come with me, I'll get you ready.
00:12:43Hold on!
00:12:45Elena! She's lying. Every word of it.
00:12:50Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:12:52Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:12:56But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:12:59Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:13:02Aunt Elena, I'm serious!
00:13:04I saw her with my own eyes this morning, coming out of some run-down hotel.
00:13:08She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:13:19What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:13:21Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:13:24Jasper, care to explain? If her family owns hotels, why were the two of you coming out of a dump
00:13:31like that?
00:13:33Jasper's been conned. She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant and decided to scam
00:13:39her way into your lives.
00:13:40That's not true! Sage isn't a scammer! She was there because... because...
00:13:46My family's hotels are exclusive resort, on private islands. We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:13:54Hotels on private islands? How luxurious is that?
00:13:58Nothing extravagant. Just over 500 properties worldwide. The brand is called Home. If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards
00:14:05for everyone.
00:14:06Home? That's the culinary legends company.
00:14:09Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the
00:14:14culinary legend.
00:14:15See? I told you! She's a fraud!
00:14:18Home was founded by the culinary legend herself, and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
00:14:25That's unbelievable. Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:14:28What a fraud. Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
00:14:32Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:14:35No, I'm... I'm not.
00:14:36Jasper, the truth. Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:14:42Mom, Dad, her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
00:14:47She was joking, that's all. Just making a joke.
00:14:49Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:14:52Let us do it today. Right here, with you watching.
00:14:55Wait! We're not done here.
00:14:57Mia, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:15:01Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being
00:15:05lied to.
00:15:05Mia, what are you saying?
00:15:07Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange? For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
00:15:11He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:15:16So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:15:21Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:15:27No way, that's insane.
00:15:29That can't be true. Jasper would never lie to me.
00:15:33Jasper, answer me. Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:15:38Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
00:15:41Am I? Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:15:45Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:15:48No chemistry, no affection. They don't look like two people about to get married, because it's all fake!
00:15:56Oh, you want affection? Fine. We'll give you affection.
00:16:01Here, sweetheart. Have something sweet, and let me steal a taste.
00:16:26Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:16:28I told you, my grandson would never lie to me. Look at them. They're perfect together.
00:16:35You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
00:16:40Happy now? How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
00:16:45Mr. Vance!
00:16:47Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
00:16:50That's Cyrus Potter. Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
00:16:54And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
00:16:58Jasper just dumped his daughter. There's no way he's here for anything good.
00:17:11Relax. Why so tense?
00:17:13Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology. What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong. And I'm truly sorry.
00:17:20Forget the engagement. I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
00:17:24So good it can make anyone hungry.
00:17:27Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
00:17:30If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
00:17:33If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
00:17:38Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce. But I've injured my wrist recently.
00:17:41And young Master Leo's condition is...
00:17:43So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
00:17:46A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
00:17:51Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
00:17:53No!
00:17:53Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
00:17:57World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
00:17:59The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend,
00:18:02and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that meal.
00:18:05You're not here for dinner. You're here to destroy us.
00:18:12That's right. You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
00:18:15Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
00:18:20Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
00:18:23That's grounds for closure. Tear it apart.
00:18:28Stop.
00:18:34What? Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:18:39There she goes again. Always desperate for attention.
00:18:44What are you doing? This is my family's problem, not yours.
00:18:49Stay behind me.
00:18:51No one's ever tried to protect me before.
00:18:54You want payback for your daughter? Fine. This is all on me.
00:18:57Do whatever you want of me. Just leave my family out of it.
00:19:01Brave little fool.
00:19:04If you want to go down first, be my guest.
00:19:09Nobody lays a hand on my son.
00:19:12I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
00:19:14Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
00:19:19restaurant.
00:19:20They haven't even had a chance to cook yet. How can you shut them down already?
00:19:23He's not even trying to hide it. This is obviously a setup.
00:19:27Fine. But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
00:19:41Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
00:20:03Please, give it a try.
00:20:15Oh my god, he ate it! Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like, but Chef Rowan actually got
00:20:22him to take a bite!
00:20:24Honey, you did it!
00:20:29Sage, what is it?
00:20:30The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
00:20:35Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:20:38Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:20:41If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it?
00:20:45Do you think we're all idiots?
00:20:58That's disgusting! Why would you serve me this?
00:21:02What? No way!
00:21:04She was right. She actually called it.
00:21:08Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer. Clearly unfit to operate.
00:21:14As the senator's representative.
00:21:16I'm shutting this place down immediately!
00:21:19Wait!
00:21:21Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
00:21:26You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
00:21:29Since when do rich girls know how to cook? Stop making things worse.
00:21:33Ha! Rowan, have you really run out of options?
00:21:37You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:21:40Sage, stop. Be serious. You don't know how to cook.
00:21:44He doesn't need food. He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
00:21:49A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
00:21:52And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
00:21:56And it's me.
00:22:00Do you trust me?
00:22:02There's something about her. Something that makes you want to believe.
00:22:04Fine. One last chance. I want a dish on that table in ten minutes. And nobody helps her.
00:22:12Ten minutes? It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients. Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
00:22:18You've got one shot. Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
00:22:24You!
00:22:25Fine. But ten minutes is excessive. Give me three.
00:22:29Three minutes?
00:22:31Three minutes? Sage, this is no time for jokes!
00:22:33You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
00:22:35If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
00:22:38Three minutes it is.
00:22:39Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
00:22:43Are you sure about this? Three minutes isn't enough time.
00:22:47For someone else, maybe. Not for me.
00:23:05She carries chef's skills with her everywhere?
00:23:15Go ahead. Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
00:23:21Go show them what you've got.
00:23:23Go show them what you've got.
00:23:42How far along is she? Why is it so quiet?
00:23:45Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
00:24:0130 seconds. That's all you've got left.
00:24:04Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:24:06Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:24:09That's not what I meant.
00:24:19What is that smell? I've never smelled anything like it before!
00:24:24Oh my god. I'm actually drooling.
00:24:28She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
00:24:30Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
00:24:33This is the pinnacle of the craft.
00:24:34The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
00:24:38Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
00:24:4210 seconds!
00:24:44If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
00:24:56Please, enjoy.
00:25:04That's... that's impossible!
00:25:13The game now begins!
00:25:15Can I say something?
00:25:22Can I do it?
00:25:27This is the game right now.
00:25:30I'm gonna be reading some of the apps.
00:25:30Maybe I'm gonna be reading some of the apps.
00:25:30It's, like, as you know!
00:25:32It's a party I'm gonna be reading some of them.
00:25:34No, no.
00:25:36It's the game now.
00:25:36It's fun!
00:25:37It's a party now.
00:25:40It's fun!
00:25:53Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic 5th consecutive World Culinary Championship.
00:26:00The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row.
00:26:12And today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded, has officially been ranked number one in
00:26:22the world.
00:26:22She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality.
00:26:28Boss, the tethered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:26:35For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:26:38But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:26:42Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:26:45The first person to offer me food gets a 10 million dollar investment.
00:26:49Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:26:53Wait! Don't go over there!
00:26:55What's wrong babe?
00:26:56That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:26:59If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:27:03Let's take a side street.
00:27:05Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:27:08You know her?
00:27:09She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:27:12Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:27:15I've gotta record this.
00:27:17Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her, it'll screw up
00:27:22my image!
00:27:24Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:27:29Please, could someone...
00:27:31Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:27:48Who's there?
00:27:52Are you alright?
00:27:55But...
00:27:57Are you alright?
00:28:05You gave my bread to her?!
00:28:07Your bread? I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:28:12Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:28:19She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:28:22Daisy, that's enough!
00:28:23I'm your fiancé and you're taking some random bum side over me?!
00:28:27If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost. Right now.
00:28:33Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:28:35What did you just say?! You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?!
00:28:39Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?!
00:28:42Leave her out of this, Daisy. I made this decision a long time ago.
00:28:46Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:28:49You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:28:51My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:28:54Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:28:57You bastard! How dare you?!
00:29:00Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:29:03Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:29:06Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:29:10And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling, our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:29:18You're gonna regret this!
00:29:22Dad! Jasper just called off our engagement! Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:29:27I want you to strip him of everything!
00:29:37I'm sorry you got dragged into all this. Please, take the money. At least let me buy you a decent
00:29:42meal.
00:29:43No, I don't want all that money. Just a burger.
00:29:47Lady! That money could buy ten burgers!
00:29:50I only want one burger. Fresh off the grill. Still hot.
00:29:59Here you go. Hope it's what you wanted.
00:30:09Easy there. Take your time. And please, keep the money. It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:30:15Thank you. You're a good man.
00:30:18It's nothing.
00:30:19His kindness, it's genuine.
00:30:23Then let me thank you properly.
00:30:26An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:30:30Covering the entire state?
00:30:33Nice try, but I'm not falling for this. You should take it back.
00:30:37Why would I be joking?
00:30:38My cousin works at Home Group. A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary
00:30:44legend.
00:30:44What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:30:47You know what, never mind.
00:30:49If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:30:51Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:30:53Something else? No, that's really not.
00:30:59Jasper, everything's ready here. When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:31:02Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:31:05A situation? Did you two have a fight? Jasper, go make things right.
00:31:09Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:31:11We cannot lose the bride.
00:31:13And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:31:16Do you understand?
00:31:17Don't worry, I'll get you a bride.
00:31:20You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:31:23Yes. Anything.
00:31:25Then give me your hand.
00:31:35If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:31:39Marry you?
00:31:41No, I can't.
00:31:42My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:31:47But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:31:51So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride.
00:31:54And come home with me.
00:31:56Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:31:59That's...
00:31:59Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:32:01I'll give you $500 a day.
00:32:03You earn some steady cash, my family calms down.
00:32:06What do you say?
00:32:08Perfect.
00:32:08It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:32:14Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:32:38Wow, you look incredible.
00:32:43So...
00:32:45Wanna kiss?
00:32:47Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:32:51You can't just start talking like that.
00:32:53Well, we could always make it real.
00:32:59I can't.
00:33:00I already have feelings for someone.
00:33:05It's her.
00:33:06The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:33:09Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on Earth.
00:33:13And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:33:16The one and only culinary legend.
00:33:19She's the woman of my dreams!
00:33:21He's got a crush on me?
00:33:24That's...
00:33:25Unexpectedly adorable.
00:33:27So don't get any ideas.
00:33:29Maintain a safe distance.
00:33:31Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:33:36Relax.
00:33:37You're not my type.
00:33:38Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:33:41Impossible.
00:33:42My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:33:48Stay here.
00:33:49I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:33:52It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:33:56Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:33:59Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:34:04Right away, boss.
00:34:09Remember, if my parents ask what your family does,
00:34:13tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:34:16Annual revenue, let's see...
00:34:20Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year,
00:34:23so tell them yours makes $10 million.
00:34:25And you're okay with lying to them?
00:34:28My family's desperate for investment.
00:34:30The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé
00:34:33is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:34:36But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:34:38Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:34:42It'll work out.
00:34:44My idol always says,
00:34:46The only strength that matters is your own.
00:34:49I've spent years building my startup.
00:34:51One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:34:55build a world-class restaurant,
00:34:57and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:35:08Is Jasper back yet?
00:35:10Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy
00:35:13just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:35:16Mom, how can you say that?
00:35:18Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:35:22Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:35:26That's something to celebrate.
00:35:27Exactly. Jasper's 29.
00:35:29It's time he's settled down.
00:35:31And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:35:35Daisy's Syrah's daughter,
00:35:36the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:35:39It's a good match.
00:35:40He's hardly suffering.
00:35:42What's so special about that rich girl?
00:35:44I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:35:48Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:35:55Wait.
00:35:57Why isn't Daisy with you?
00:35:59Who is that?
00:36:03Jasper!
00:36:04What is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
00:36:06Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:36:10I don't love Daisy.
00:36:12Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:36:13And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:36:17Have you lost your mind?
00:36:19Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:36:21Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:36:25If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight!
00:36:28Enough!
00:36:30We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:36:33The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:36:37Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:36:40Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:36:44Where are you from?
00:36:45How many people are in your family?
00:36:47What do your parents do?
00:36:48And how much money do they make?
00:36:50We're from Houston. I'm an only child.
00:36:52My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
00:36:57Annual family income, $10 million.
00:37:00$10 million a year?
00:37:02Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here and they only make five.
00:37:06This fiance is the real deal.
00:37:07Well, isn't that wonderful? A restaurant family just like ours!
00:37:11I knew I liked you the moment I saw you!
00:37:14Called it.
00:37:20Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:37:23It's your wedding day, why aren't they here?
00:37:26My parents are overseas on business.
00:37:28They couldn't get away.
00:37:30Right, Sage's parents are pretty hands-off.
00:37:32She makes her own decisions.
00:37:33As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:37:35That's true.
00:37:36Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:37:40Jasper, this was a reckless stunt. Next time, you talk to us first. Understood?
00:37:45Well then, let's not waste any more time. The ceremony's about to start. Come with me, I'll get you ready.
00:37:51Hold on!
00:37:52Elena!
00:37:53She's lying.
00:37:55Every word of it.
00:37:57Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:38:00Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:38:03But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:38:07Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:38:10Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
00:38:12I saw her with my own eyes this morning coming out of some rundown hotel.
00:38:16She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:38:27What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:38:30Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:38:32Jasper, care to explain? If her family owns hotels, I were the two of you coming out of a dump
00:38:39like that.
00:38:41Jasper's been conned. She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant and decided to scam
00:38:47her way into your lives.
00:38:48That's not true! Sage isn't a scammer. She was there because... because...
00:38:54Because... my family's hotels are exclusive resorts on private islands.
00:38:58We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:39:01Hotels on private islands? How luxurious is that?
00:39:06Nothing extravagant. Just over 500 properties worldwide.
00:39:09The brand is called Home. If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
00:39:13Home? That's the Culinary Legends Company.
00:39:17Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the
00:39:21Culinary Legend.
00:39:23See? I told you! She's a fraud!
00:39:26Home was founded by the Culinary Legend herself, and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
00:39:33That's unbelievable. Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:39:36What a fraud. Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the Culinary Legend?
00:39:40Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:39:43No, I'm... I'm not.
00:39:44Jasper, the truth. Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:39:50Mom, Dad, her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
00:39:55She was joking, that's all. Just making a joke.
00:39:57Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:40:00Let us do it today. Right here, with you watching.
00:40:04Wait! We're not done here.
00:40:05Mia, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:40:09Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being
00:40:13lied to.
00:40:13Mia, what are you saying?
00:40:15Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange? For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the Culinary Legend.
00:40:19He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:40:24So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:40:29Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:40:35No way, that's insane.
00:40:37That can't be true. Jasper would never lie to me.
00:40:41Jasper, answer me. Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:40:46Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
00:40:49Am I? Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:40:53Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:40:56No chemistry, no affection. They don't look like two people about to get married.
00:41:01Because it's all fake!
00:41:04Oh, you want affection? Fine. We'll give you affection.
00:41:09Here, sweetheart. Have something sweet and let me steal a taste.
00:41:34Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:41:36I told you, my grandson would never lie to me. Look at them. They're perfect together.
00:41:42You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
00:41:48Happy now? How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
00:41:53Mr. Vance!
00:41:55Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
00:41:58That's Cyrus Potter. Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
00:42:02And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
00:42:05Jasper just dumped his daughter. There's no way he's here for anything good.
00:42:19Relax. Why so tense?
00:42:21Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology. What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong.
00:42:26And I'm truly sorry. Forget the engagement. I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
00:42:32So good it can make anyone hungry.
00:42:35Senator Bruce asked me to bring young master Leo here to try it.
00:42:38If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
00:42:42If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
00:42:46Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce. But I've injured my wrist recently.
00:42:49And young master Leo's condition is...
00:42:51So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
00:42:54A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
00:42:58Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
00:43:01No! Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
00:43:05World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
00:43:07The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend, and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that
00:43:13meal.
00:43:13You're not here for dinner. You're here to destroy us.
00:43:20That's right. You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
00:43:23Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
00:43:28Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
00:43:31That's grounds for closure. Tear it apart.
00:43:36Stop.
00:43:42What? Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:43:47There she goes again. Always desperate for attention.
00:43:52What are you doing? This is my family's problem, not yours.
00:43:57Stay behind me.
00:43:58No one's ever tried to protect me before.
00:44:02You want payback for your daughter? Fine.
00:44:04This is all on me. Do whatever you want of me. Just leave my family out of it.
00:44:09Brave little fool.
00:44:12If you want to go down first, be my guest.
00:44:17Nobody lays a hand on my son.
00:44:19I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
00:44:22Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
00:44:27restaurant.
00:44:27They haven't even had a chance to cook yet. How can you shut them down already?
00:44:31He's not even trying to hide it. This is obviously a setup.
00:44:34Fine. But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
00:44:49Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
00:45:11Please, give it a try.
00:45:23Oh my god, he ate it! Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like, but Chef Rowan actually got
00:45:30him to take a bite!
00:45:32Honey, you did it!
00:45:37Sage, what is it?
00:45:38The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
00:45:43Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:45:46Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:45:49If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it?
00:45:53Do you think we're all idiots?
00:46:06That's disgusting! Why would you serve me this?
00:46:10What? No way!
00:46:12She was right. She actually called it.
00:46:16Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer. Clearly unfit to operate.
00:46:22As the senator's representative.
00:46:24I'm shutting this place down immediately!
00:46:27Wait!
00:46:29Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
00:46:34You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
00:46:37Since when do rich girls know how to cook? Stop making things worse.
00:46:41Ha! Rowan, have you really run out of options?
00:46:45You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:46:48Sage, stop. Be serious. You don't know how to cook.
00:46:52He doesn't need food. He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
00:46:57A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
00:47:00And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
00:47:03And it's me.
00:47:08Do you trust me?
00:47:10There's something about her. Something that makes you want to believe.
00:47:13Fine. One last chance.
00:47:16I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
00:47:19And nobody helps her.
00:47:20Ten minutes?
00:47:21It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
00:47:24Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
00:47:26You've got one shot.
00:47:29Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
00:47:31You!
00:47:33Fine. But ten minutes is excessive.
00:47:36Give me three.
00:47:38Three minutes?
00:47:39Sage, this is no time for jokes!
00:47:41You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
00:47:43If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
00:47:46Three minutes it is.
00:47:47Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
00:47:51Are you sure about this?
00:47:53Three minutes isn't enough time.
00:47:55For someone else, maybe. Not for me.
00:48:13She carries Shep's tools with her everywhere?
00:48:15She carries Shep's tools with her everywhere?
00:48:16She carries Shep's tools with her everywhere?
00:48:23Go ahead. Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
00:48:29Go show them what you've got.
00:48:31Go show them what you've got.
00:48:50How far along is she? Why is it so quiet?
00:48:53Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
00:49:09Thirty seconds. That's all you've got left.
00:49:12Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:49:14Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:49:17That's not what I meant.
00:49:27What is that smell? I've never smelled anything like it before.
00:49:32Oh my god. I'm actually drooling.
00:49:35She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
00:49:38Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
00:49:40This is the pinnacle of the craft.
00:49:42The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
00:49:45Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
00:49:50Ten seconds!
00:49:52If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
00:50:03Please, enjoy.
00:50:12That's... that's impossible!
00:50:16The game now begins!
00:50:37I don't know what it is supposed to be.
00:50:40I don't know.
00:50:40To the end...
00:50:56Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic fifth consecutive World Culinary Championship.
00:51:03The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row.
00:51:15And today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded, has officially been ranked number one in
00:51:24the world.
00:51:25She's not just a culinary legend now.
00:51:28She's the queen of hospitality.
00:51:31Boss, the tethered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:51:38For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:51:41But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:51:45Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:51:48The first person to offer me food gets a $10 million investment.
00:51:52Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:51:56Wait! Don't go over there!
00:51:58What's wrong, babe?
00:51:59That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:52:02If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:52:06Let's take a side street.
00:52:08Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:52:11You know her?
00:52:12She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:52:15Wow. I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:52:18I've got to record this.
00:52:19Come on. If people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her, it'll screw up
00:52:25my image.
00:52:26Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:52:32Please, could someone...
00:52:34Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:52:56Are you alright?
00:52:57Are you alright?
00:53:02Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:53:05With some filthy hobo?
00:53:08You gave my bread to her?
00:53:10Your bread?
00:53:11I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:53:15Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:53:22She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:53:25Daisy, that's enough!
00:53:26I'm your fiancé, and you're taking some random bum side over me?
00:53:31If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:53:34Right now.
00:53:36Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:53:38What did you just say?
00:53:39You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?
00:53:42Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?
00:53:45Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:53:47I made this decision a long time ago.
00:53:49Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:53:52You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:53:54My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:53:57Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:54:00You bastard! How dare you!
00:54:02Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:54:06Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:54:09Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:54:12And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling,
00:54:15our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:54:21You're gonna regret this!
00:54:25Dad, Jasper just called off our engagement!
00:54:28Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:54:29I want you to strip him of everything!
00:54:40I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:54:42Please, take the money.
00:54:44At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:54:46No, I don't want all that money.
00:54:49Just a burger.
00:54:50Lady, that money could buy ten burgers!
00:54:53I only want one burger.
00:54:55Fresh off the grill.
00:54:56Still hot.
00:55:02Here you go.
00:55:03Hope it's what you wanted.
00:55:12Easy there.
00:55:13Take your time.
00:55:14And please, keep the money.
00:55:15It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:55:19You're a good man.
00:55:21It's nothing.
00:55:22His kindness, it's genuine.
00:55:26Then let me thank you properly.
00:55:29An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:55:33Covering the entire state?
00:55:35Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:55:38You should take it back.
00:55:40Why would I be joking?
00:55:41My cousin works at Home Group.
00:55:43A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:55:47What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:55:50Well, you know what, never mind.
00:55:52If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:55:54Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:55:56Something else?
00:55:57No, that's really not.
00:56:02Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:56:03When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:56:05Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:56:08A situation?
00:56:09Did you two have a fight?
00:56:10Jasper, go make things right.
00:56:12Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:56:14We cannot lose the bride.
00:56:16And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:56:19Do you understand?
00:56:20Don't worry.
00:56:21I'll get you a bride.
00:56:23You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:56:25Yes.
00:56:27Anything.
00:56:28Then give me your hand.
00:56:38If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:56:42Marry you?
00:56:44No, I can't.
00:56:45My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring
00:56:49in investors.
00:56:50But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:56:53So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride and come home with me, just to help me
00:56:59get through the wedding.
00:57:01That's...
00:57:02Don't worry.
00:57:03I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:57:04I'll give you $500 a day.
00:57:06You earn some steady cash.
00:57:08My family calms down.
00:57:09What do you say?
00:57:11Perfect.
00:57:11It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:57:17All right.
00:57:18You've got yourself a deal.
00:57:40Wow.
00:57:41You look incredible.
00:57:47So, want a kiss?
00:57:50Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:57:54You can't just start talking like that.
00:57:56Well, we could always make it real.
00:58:02I can't.
00:58:03I already have feelings for someone.
00:58:08It's her.
00:58:09The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18, built home group into the greatest hospitality
00:58:15empire on Earth, and went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:58:19The one and only culinary legend.
00:58:22She's the woman of my dreams.
00:58:24He's got a crush on me?
00:58:27That's unexpectedly adorable.
00:58:30So don't get any ideas.
00:58:32Maintain a safe distance.
00:58:34Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:58:39Relax.
00:58:40You're not my type.
00:58:41Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:58:44Impossible.
00:58:45My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:58:50Stay here.
00:58:51I'm going to grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:58:54It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:58:59Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:59:02Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:59:07Right away, boss.
00:59:12Remember, if my parents ask what your family does, tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:59:19Annual revenue, let's see.
00:59:23Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year, so tell them yours makes $10 million.
00:59:28And you're okay with lying to them?
00:59:31My family's desperate for investment.
00:59:33The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:59:38But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:59:41Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:59:45It'll work out.
00:59:47My idol always says,
00:59:49The only strength that matters is your own.
00:59:52I've spent years building my startup.
00:59:55One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:59:58build a world-class restaurant,
01:00:00and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
01:00:10Is Jasper back yet?
01:00:13Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
01:00:19Mom, how can you say that?
01:00:21Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
01:00:25Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
01:00:28That's something to celebrate.
01:00:30Exactly.
01:00:31Jasper's 29.
01:00:32It's time he settled down.
01:00:34And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
01:00:38Daisy Syrah's daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
01:00:41It's a good match.
01:00:43He's hardly suffering.
01:00:45What's so special about that rich girl?
01:00:47I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
01:00:51Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
01:00:59Wait.
01:01:00Why isn't Daisy with you?
01:01:02Who is that?
01:01:06Jasper, what is the meaning of this?
01:01:09Where's Daisy?
01:01:10Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
01:01:13I don't love Daisy.
01:01:15Sage is the woman I want to marry.
01:01:16And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
01:01:20Have you lost your mind?
01:01:22Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
01:01:24Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
01:01:28If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight.
01:01:31Enough.
01:01:33We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
01:01:36The least we can do is hear the boy out.
01:01:39Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
01:01:42Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
01:01:47Where are you from?
01:01:48How many people are in your family?
01:01:50What do your parents do?
01:01:51And how much money do they make?
01:01:53We're from Houston.
01:01:54I'm an only child.
01:01:55My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels.
01:01:58And my mother is a homemaker.
01:02:00Annual family income?
01:02:01$10 million.
01:02:03$10 million a year?
01:02:05Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here and they only make five.
01:02:08This fiancé is the real deal.
01:02:10Well, isn't that wonderful?
01:02:12A restaurant family just like ours.
01:02:14I knew I liked you the moment I saw you.
01:02:17Called it.
01:02:23Sweetheart, where are your parents?
01:02:25It's your wedding day.
01:02:27Why aren't they here?
01:02:29My parents are overseas on business.
01:02:31They couldn't get away.
01:02:33Right.
01:02:33Sage's parents are pretty hands-off.
01:02:35She makes her own decisions.
01:02:36As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
01:02:38That's true.
01:02:39Wealthy families are different about those things.
01:02:43Jasper, this was a reckless stunt.
01:02:44Next time, you talk to us first.
01:02:47Understood?
01:02:48Well then, let's not waste any more time.
01:02:49The ceremony's about to start.
01:02:51Come with me.
01:02:52I'll get you ready.
01:02:54Hold on!
01:02:56Elena!
01:02:56She's lying.
01:02:57Every word of it.
01:03:00Mia, why would you say something like that?
01:03:03Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
01:03:06But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
01:03:10Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
01:03:13Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
01:03:14I saw her with my own eyes this morning,
01:03:17coming out of some run-down hotel.
01:03:19She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
01:03:30What kind of rich iress stays in a motel?
01:03:32Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
01:03:36Jasper, care to explain?
01:03:38If her family owns hotels,
01:03:40why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
01:03:44Jasper's been conned.
01:03:45She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant
01:03:48and decided to scam her way into your lives.
01:03:51That's not true!
01:03:52Sage isn't a scammer!
01:03:54She was there because...
01:03:55Because...
01:03:56Because my family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands.
01:04:01We don't operate properties on the mainland.
01:04:04Hotels on private islands?
01:04:06How luxurious is that?
01:04:09Nothing extravagant.
01:04:10Just over 500 properties worldwide.
01:04:12The brand is called Home.
01:04:14If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
01:04:16Home?
01:04:17That's the Culinary Legends Company.
01:04:20Are you trying to get me killed?
01:04:22I told you to pretend to be rich,
01:04:24not pretend to be the Culinary Legend.
01:04:26See?
01:04:27I told you!
01:04:28She's a fraud!
01:04:29Home was founded by the Culinary Legend herself,
01:04:32and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
01:04:36That's unbelievable.
01:04:37Who tells lies that ridiculous?
01:04:39What a fraud.
01:04:40Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the Culinary Legend?
01:04:43Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
01:04:46No.
01:04:47I'm not.
01:04:47Jasper, the truth.
01:04:49Right now, who exactly is this woman?
01:04:53Mom, Dad.
01:04:54Her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
01:04:58She was joking, that's all.
01:04:59Just making a joke.
01:05:00Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
01:05:03Let us do it today.
01:05:04Right here, with you watching.
01:05:06Wait!
01:05:07We're not done here.
01:05:08Mia, what exactly are you trying to do?
01:05:10Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
01:05:12Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble.
01:05:13I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being lied to.
01:05:16Mia, what are you saying?
01:05:18Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange?
01:05:20For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the Culinary Legend.
01:05:22He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
01:05:26So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
01:05:32Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride just to get out of this marriage,
01:05:36did you?
01:05:38No way.
01:05:38That's insane.
01:05:40That can't be true.
01:05:42Jasper would never lie to me.
01:05:44Jasper, answer me.
01:05:45Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
01:05:49Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her.
01:05:51Stop making things up.
01:05:52Am I?
01:05:52Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
01:05:56Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
01:05:59No chemistry.
01:06:01No affection.
01:06:02They don't look like two people about to get married.
01:06:04Because it's all fake!
01:06:07Oh, you want affection?
01:06:09Fine.
01:06:09We'll give you affection.
01:06:12Here, sweetheart.
01:06:14Have something sweet.
01:06:15Let me steal a taste.
01:06:37Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
01:06:39I told you, my grandson would never lie to me.
01:06:42Look at them.
01:06:43They're perfect together.
01:06:45You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
01:06:51Happy now?
01:06:52How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
01:06:56Mr. Vance!
01:06:58Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
01:07:01That's Cyrus Potter.
01:07:02Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
01:07:05And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
01:07:09Jasper just dumped his daughter.
01:07:11There's no way he's here for anything good.
01:07:21Relax.
01:07:23Why so tense?
01:07:24Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology.
01:07:27What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong.
01:07:29And I'm truly sorry.
01:07:31Forget the engagement.
01:07:33I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
01:07:35So good it can make anyone hungry.
01:07:38Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
01:07:41If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
01:07:44If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
01:07:49Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce.
01:07:51But I've injured my wrist recently.
01:07:52And young Master Leo's condition is...
01:07:54So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
01:07:57A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
01:08:01Perhaps I should recommend the senator shut this place down.
01:08:04No!
01:08:04Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
01:08:08World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
01:08:10The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend,
01:08:13and the senator paid $100 million for that meal.
01:08:16You're not here for dinner.
01:08:18You're here to destroy us.
01:08:23That's right.
01:08:24You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
01:08:26Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
01:08:31Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
01:08:34That's grounds for closure.
01:08:36Tear it apart.
01:08:39Stop.
01:08:45What?
01:08:45Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
01:08:50There she goes again.
01:08:52Always desperate for attention.
01:08:55What are you doing?
01:08:57This is my family's problem, not yours.
01:09:00Stay behind me.
01:09:02No one's ever tried to protect me before.
01:09:05You want payback for your daughter?
01:09:06Fine.
01:09:07This is all on me.
01:09:08Do whatever you want of me.
01:09:09Just leave my family out of it.
01:09:12Brave little fool.
01:09:15If you want to go down first, be my guest.
01:09:20Nobody lays a hand on my son.
01:09:22I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
01:09:25Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family,
01:09:28and you don't damage a single thing in my restaurant.
01:09:30They haven't even had a chance to cook yet.
01:09:33How can you shut them down already?
01:09:34He's not even trying to hide it.
01:09:36This is obviously a setup.
01:09:37Fine.
01:09:38But if you fail,
01:09:40don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
01:09:51Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
01:10:14Please, give it a try.
01:10:25Oh my God, he ate it!
01:10:27Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like,
01:10:31but Chef Rowan actually got him to take a bite!
01:10:35Honey, you did it!
01:10:39Sage, what is it?
01:10:41The sauce is good,
01:10:43but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
01:10:46Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
01:10:49Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
01:10:52If there was something wrong with the dish,
01:10:54why would Master Leo eat it?
01:10:56Do you think we're all idiots?
01:11:09That's disgusting!
01:11:10Why would you serve me this?
01:11:13What?
01:11:14No way!
01:11:15She was right.
01:11:16She actually called it.
01:11:18Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer.
01:11:23Clearly unfit to operate.
01:11:25As the senator's representative.
01:11:27I'm shutting this place down immediately!
01:11:30Wait!
01:11:32Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
01:11:37You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
01:11:40Since when do rich girls know how to cook?
01:11:43Stop making things worse.
01:11:44Ha!
01:11:45Rowan, have you really run out of options?
01:11:48You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
01:11:51Sage, stop.
01:11:52Be serious.
01:11:53You don't know how to cook.
01:11:55He doesn't need food.
01:11:57He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
01:12:00A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
01:12:03And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
01:12:06And it's me.
01:12:11Do you trust me?
01:12:13There's something about her.
01:12:14Something that makes you want to believe.
01:12:15Fine.
01:12:17One last chance.
01:12:19I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
01:12:22And nobody helps her.
01:12:23Ten minutes?
01:12:24It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
01:12:27Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
01:12:29You've got one shot.
01:12:32Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
01:12:34You!
01:12:36Fine.
01:12:37But ten minutes is excessive.
01:12:38Give me three.
01:12:40Three minutes?
01:12:41Sage, this is no time for jokes!
01:12:43You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
01:12:46If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
01:12:49Three minutes it is.
01:12:50Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
01:12:54Are you sure about this?
01:12:56Three minutes isn't enough time.
01:12:58For someone else, maybe.
01:12:59Not for me.
01:13:16She carries Shep's skills with her everywhere?
01:13:26Go ahead.
01:13:27Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
01:13:32Go show them what you've got.
01:13:53How far along is she?
01:13:55Why is it so quiet?
01:13:56Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
01:14:12Thirty seconds.
01:14:13That's all you've got left.
01:14:15Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
01:14:17Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
01:14:21That's not what I meant.
01:14:30What is that smell?
01:14:32I've never smelled anything like it before.
01:14:35Oh my God.
01:14:37I'm actually drooling.
01:14:38She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
01:14:41Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
01:14:43This is the pinnacle of the craft.
01:14:45The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
01:14:49Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
01:14:53Ten seconds!
01:14:54If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
01:15:07Please, enjoy.
01:15:15That's impossible!
01:15:16That's impossible!
01:15:22That's impossible!
01:15:23That's what she really wanted to do!
01:15:23You
