00:00:00The game now begins!
00:00:40Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic 5th consecutive World Culinary Championship!
00:00:47The only chef ever to claim the title 5 years in a row!
00:01:00And today, the home group the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded has officially been ranked number one in
00:01:09the world!
00:01:10She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality!
00:01:15Boss, the tethered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:01:22For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:01:25But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:01:29Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:01:32The first person to offer me food gets a 10 million dollar investment.
00:01:37Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:01:40Wait! Don't go over there!
00:01:42What's wrong babe?
00:01:43That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:01:47If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:01:51Let's take a side street.
00:01:52Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:01:55You know her?
00:01:56She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:02:00Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:02:02I've gotta record this.
00:02:04Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her,
00:02:09it'll screw up my image!
00:02:11Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:02:17Please, could someone...
00:02:18Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:02:40Are you alright?
00:02:47Jasper, why are you standing around? With some filthy hobo?
00:02:52You gave my bread to her?
00:02:55Your bread? I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:02:59Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:03:07She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:03:09Daisy, that's enough! I'm your fiancΓ© and you're taking some random bum side over me?
00:03:15If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost. Right now.
00:03:20Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:03:22What did you just say? You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?
00:03:27Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?
00:03:30Leave her out of this, Daisy. I made this decision a long time ago.
00:03:33Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:03:36You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:03:38My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:03:42Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:03:45You bastard! How dare you!
00:03:47Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:03:50Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:03:53Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:03:57And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling, our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:04:05You're gonna regret this!
00:04:10Dad, Jasper just called off our engagement! Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:04:14I want you to strip him of everything!
00:04:25I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:04:27Please, take the money. At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:04:30No, I don't want all that money.
00:04:33Just a burger.
00:04:35Lady, that money could buy ten burgers!
00:04:37I only want one burger. Fresh off the grill. Still hot.
00:04:47Here you go. Hope it's what you wanted.
00:04:56Easy there. Take your time. And please, keep the money. It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:05:03Thank you. You're a good man.
00:05:06It's nothing.
00:05:07His kindness, it's genuine.
00:05:10Then let me thank you properly.
00:05:13An exclusive ten billion dollar investment contract from Home Group?
00:05:18Covering the entire state?
00:05:20Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:05:23You should take it back.
00:05:24Why would I be joking?
00:05:26My cousin works at Home Group.
00:05:28A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:05:32What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:05:35You know what, never mind.
00:05:36If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:05:39Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:05:41Something else? No, that's really not.
00:05:46Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:05:48When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:05:50Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:05:53A situation? Did you two have a fight?
00:05:55Jasper, go make things right.
00:05:56Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:05:59We cannot lose the bride.
00:06:00And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:06:04Do you understand?
00:06:05Don't worry, I'll get you a bride.
00:06:07You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:12Anything.
00:06:13Then give me your hand.
00:06:22If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:06:26Marry you?
00:06:29No, I can't.
00:06:30My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring
00:06:34in investors.
00:06:35But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:06:38So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride and come home with me.
00:06:43Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:06:46That's...
00:06:47Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:06:49I'll give you $500 a day.
00:06:51You earn some steady cash, my family calms down.
00:06:54What do you say?
00:06:55Perfect.
00:06:56It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:07:02Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:07:25Wow.
00:07:26You look incredible.
00:07:31So...
00:07:32Wanna kiss?
00:07:35Woah, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:07:39You can't just start talking like that.
00:07:41Well, we could always make it real.
00:07:47I can't.
00:07:48I already have feelings for someone.
00:07:53It's her.
00:07:54The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:07:58Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on Earth.
00:08:01And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:08:04The one and only culinary legend.
00:08:07She's the woman of my dreams!
00:08:09He's got a crush on me?
00:08:12That's...
00:08:12Unexpectedly adorable.
00:08:15So don't get any ideas.
00:08:17Maintain a safe distance.
00:08:19Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:08:24Relax.
00:08:25You're not my type.
00:08:26Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:08:29Impossible.
00:08:30My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:08:35Stay here.
00:08:36I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:08:39It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:08:44Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:08:47Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:08:51Right away, boss.
00:08:57Remember, if my parents ask what your family does, tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:09:04Annual revenue, let's see...
00:09:08Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year, so tell them yours makes $10 million.
00:09:13And you're okay with lying to them?
00:09:16My family's desperate for investment.
00:09:18The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancΓ© is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:09:23But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:09:26Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:09:30It'll work out.
00:09:32My idol always says,
00:09:34The only strength that matters is your own.
00:09:37I've spent years building my startup.
00:09:40One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:09:43build a world-class restaurant, and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:09:55Is Jasper back yet?
00:09:58Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:10:04Mom, how can you say that?
00:10:06Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:10:10Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:10:13That's something to celebrate.
00:10:15Exactly. Jasper's 29. It's time he's settled down.
00:10:19And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:10:23Daisy Syrah's daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:10:27It's a good match. He's hardly suffering.
00:10:29What's so special about that rich girl?
00:10:32I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:10:36Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:10:43Wait, why isn't Daisy with you?
00:10:47Who is that?
00:10:51Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
00:10:55Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:10:58I don't love Daisy.
00:11:00Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:11:01And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:11:04Have you lost your mind?
00:11:07Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:11:09Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:11:13If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight.
00:11:16Enough.
00:11:18We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:11:21The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:11:25Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:11:27Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:11:32And where are you from?
00:11:33How many people are in your family?
00:11:35What do your parents do? And how much money do they make?
00:11:38We're from Houston. I'm an only child.
00:11:40My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
00:11:45Annual family income, $10 million.
00:11:4810 million a year?
00:11:50Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here and they only make five.
00:11:54This fiance is the real deal.
00:11:55Well, isn't that wonderful? A restaurant family just like ours.
00:11:59I knew I liked you the moment I saw you.
00:12:02Called it.
00:12:08Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:12:11It's your wedding day. Why aren't they here?
00:12:14My parents are overseas on business. They couldn't get away.
00:12:18Right. Sage's parents are pretty hands-off. She makes her own decisions.
00:12:21As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:12:23That's true. Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:12:28Jasper, this was a reckless stunt. Next time, you talk to us first. Understood?
00:12:33Well then, let's not waste any more time. The ceremony's about to start. Come with me, I'll get you ready.
00:12:39Hold on!
00:12:41Elena!
00:12:41She's lying.
00:12:43Every word of it.
00:12:46Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:12:48Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:12:52But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:12:55Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:12:58Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
00:12:59I saw her with my own eyes this morning coming out of some rundown hotel.
00:13:04She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:13:15What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:13:18Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:13:21Jasper, care to explain?
00:13:23If her family owns hotels, why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
00:13:29Jasper's been conned.
00:13:30She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant and decided to scam her way into
00:13:35your lives.
00:13:36That's not true! Sage isn't a scammer. She was there because... because...
00:13:42Because my family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands.
00:13:46We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:13:50Hotels on private islands?
00:13:51How luxurious is that?
00:13:54Nothing extravagant. Just over 500 properties worldwide.
00:13:57The brand is called Home. If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
00:14:02Home? That's the culinary legends company.
00:14:05Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the
00:14:10culinary legend.
00:14:11See? I told you! She's a fraud!
00:14:15Home was founded by the culinary legend herself, and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
00:14:21That's unbelievable! Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:14:24What a fraud! Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
00:14:28Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:14:31No, I'm... I'm not.
00:14:33Jasper, the truth. Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:14:38Mom, Dad, her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
00:14:43She was joking, that's all, just making a joke.
00:14:46Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:14:48Let us do it today. Right here, with you watching.
00:14:52Wait! We're not done here.
00:14:54Mia, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:14:57Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being
00:15:01lied to.
00:15:01Mia, what are you saying?
00:15:03Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange?
00:15:05For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
00:15:08He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:15:12So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:15:17Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride, just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:15:23No way, that's insane.
00:15:25That can't be true. Jasper would never lie to me.
00:15:29Jasper, answer me. Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:15:34Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
00:15:37Am I? Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:15:42Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:15:45No chemistry, no affection.
00:15:47They don't look like two people about to get married, because it's all fake!
00:15:53Oh, you want affection? Fine, we'll give you affection.
00:15:57Here, sweetheart. Have something sweet, and let me steal a taste.
00:16:22Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:16:25I told you, my grandson would never lie to me. Look at them. They're perfect together.
00:16:31You're the first man, who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.

00:32:45of course not
00:32:46she really is a lovely girl
00:32:49you two hit the jackpot
00:32:51a daughter-in-law with money
00:32:53grace
00:32:54and talent in the kitchen
00:32:56that's rare
00:33:01elena you're all being played
00:33:03she's not who she claims to be
00:33:04mia
00:33:05what are you talking about
00:33:06doesn't any of this strike you as strange
00:33:08every rich girl i've ever met
00:33:10is hampered
00:33:11they have staff waiting on them
00:33:13hand and foot
00:33:14most of them don't even know
00:33:15where the kitchen is
00:33:16but she carries chef's tools
00:33:18on her body
00:33:19and cooks like a master chef
00:33:21she's got a point
00:33:22girls from families like that
00:33:23usually don't cook for themselves
00:33:25sage took cooking classes
00:33:27is it really that strange
00:33:28that she knows her way around a kitchen
00:33:30knowing how to cook isn't strange
00:33:32but rich girls take care of their hands
00:33:36manicures
00:33:37treatments
00:33:38even if they cook
00:33:39it's only once in a while
00:33:40look at these hands
00:33:41every finger is covered in calishes
00:33:44those are not the hands of a wealthy heiresh
00:33:46good grief
00:33:47my aunt works on a farm
00:33:49and her hands aren't even that rough
00:33:50there's only one explanation
00:33:52she's a fraud
00:33:53pretending to be a rich heiress
00:33:56so she can scam people out of money
00:34:04sorry
00:34:05i don't like being manhandled
00:34:07you
00:34:08elena do you see that
00:34:09she's getting defensive
00:34:11because she's been caught
00:34:12jasper
00:34:13i want answers
00:34:14even if if she can cook
00:34:16if she's not who she said she is
00:34:17she can't solve our financial problems
00:34:19what's really going on here
00:34:21jasper
00:34:22tell me the truth
00:34:24did you bring this woman here to deceive us
00:34:26no dad
00:34:28just hear me out
00:34:29if she's been lying to us
00:34:31i will never accept her
00:34:32elena that's not fair
00:34:34sage just saved this family
00:34:36that's a separate issue eve
00:34:38a liar has no place in this family
00:34:42even if this restaurant goes under
00:34:44i won't stand by
00:34:46and let a fraud
00:34:47take advantage of my family
00:34:51sage is not a fraud
00:34:53and she has absolutely no interest
00:34:55in taking anything from this family
00:34:56i swear it on my life
00:34:59and what does that prove
00:35:00you don't have a shred of evidence
00:35:02real erases don't have hands covered in callus
00:35:06you
00:35:09tell me something
00:35:10since when are calluses a source of shame
00:35:24maybe you see these and think they're ugly
00:35:26i don't
00:35:27every one of them is proof of the hours i've worked
00:35:30the sacrifices i've made
00:35:32and everything i've earned with my own two hands
00:35:35they don't represent poverty
00:35:36they represent hard-earned independence
00:35:42they remind me that i built my strength myself
00:35:44and never had to rely on anyone else
00:35:47shameful no
00:35:49these are the medals i'm proudest of
00:35:51the only thing that should be ashamed
00:35:54is looking down on people for honest work
00:36:10and as for being after your money
00:36:13that's the funnest accusation of all
00:36:16because i've already arranged a 50 million dollar wedding gift for my husband jasper
00:36:2150 million dollars are you serious
00:36:25wow the lies just keep getting bigger
00:36:28do you even understand how much 50 million dollars is
00:36:32exactly the kind of person who can casually hand over 50 million dollars
00:36:36is on the forbes rich list
00:36:38she's obviously a fraud
00:36:40she can't even afford a decent hotel
00:36:42and we're supposed to believe she's giving away millions
00:36:44jasper throw her out already
00:36:46don't let her keep humiliating your family
00:36:50have you lost your mind
00:36:52where are you supposed to get 50 million dollars

00:44:50he's basically picking a fight because they don't have anyone else
00:44:54vance
00:44:55the only reason the senator's kid ate that girl's garbage burger was because he'd never had cheap fast food before
00:45:01it was a novelty

00:53:31maybe
00:53:37maybe i've already fallen for you
00:53:52round one is about to begin
00:53:54both sides
00:53:56please choose your competing chef
00:54:02so what have you accepted my challenge
00:54:04my chefs are about to wipe the floor with you
00:54:15that's chef mark
00:54:16he's famous worldwide for his knife skills
00:54:19uncle rowan
00:54:20you seriously think that beggar can beat him
00:54:23we're counting on you kid
00:54:33round one
00:54:35knife skills
00:54:36each chef will select a partner
00:54:38blindfolded they will julienne a potato on their partner's abdomen
00:54:42after five minutes
00:54:43the chef with the finest most uniform and most precise cuts
00:54:47will be declared the winner
00:54:58they're cutting potatoes on someone's stomach
00:55:00is this even a real competition
00:55:03and blindfolded
00:55:05one slip and somebody ends up bleeding all over the stage
00:55:10no
00:55:11it's actually a brilliantly designed challenge
00:55:14it tests more than knife skills
00:55:16it tests composure
00:55:17the abdomen is soft
00:55:18sensitive
00:55:19and constantly moving with every breath
00:55:22blindfolded chefs are easily affected by that movement
00:55:24they hesitate
00:55:25their hands shake
00:55:27or they run out of time
00:55:28to produce perfectly even beautiful juliesse under those conditions
00:55:32a chef's knife work has to reach the highest level
00:55:35where the chef and the blade become one
00:55:38chef mark's knife skills are recognized worldwide as elite
00:55:42but only one person has ever truly mastered that level
00:55:46the legendary culinary legend
00:55:48i just don't know whether sage can win this
00:55:52arrogant little fool
00:55:58you
00:55:58get up there and be mark's partner
00:56:01boss no
00:56:02that's too dangerous
00:56:03i i have a wife and kids
00:56:06useless coward
00:56:08get up there or you're fired
00:56:10i'll pay you triple
00:56:32sage i'll be your partner
00:56:33jasper no
00:56:35it's too dangerous
00:56:36one mistake could get you killed
00:56:41i trust her
00:56:55i'll keep my breathing steady
00:56:56i won't throw you off
00:56:59relax
00:57:01i won't let a cutting board this handsome
00:57:04get so much as a scratch
00:57:14begin
00:57:25oh my god he's so fast
00:57:34i can barely see his hands moving
00:57:37that's chef mark for you
00:57:39he's practically a human potato slicing machine
00:57:49he'll be different
00:57:55he'll be different
00:57:57he'll be different
00:57:58hmm
00:58:10he'll be different
00:58:12like
00:58:12What on earth is she doing?
00:58:15She's moving slower than a snail!
00:58:18Uncle Rowan, why would you send her up there?
00:58:20I told you, she's a nobody!
00:58:23Rowan, you shouldn't have trusted her.
00:58:26She's going to turn us into a laughing stock.
00:58:29Sage, don't worry about me.
00:58:30Speed up, the clock's running out.
00:58:33I'll keep my breathing steady.
00:58:34I won't interfere.
00:58:47This is unbelievable, Rowan!
00:58:50Did you send her out there because you've already accepted you're going to lose?
00:59:01No, that's not what's happening here.
00:59:08Is she an idiot?
00:59:12This round is about julienne cuts.
00:59:15Why is she turning in a whole potato?
00:59:18Miss, I don't think you understood the challenge.
00:59:22The potato was supposed to be cut into julienne strips.
00:59:27I know.
00:59:28The plate's simply too small for what I made.
00:59:32You've got to be kidding.
00:59:34How much space could one potato possibly take?
00:59:37Judge, I think we can declare a winner already.
00:59:42Oh my god.
00:59:44How did she do that?
00:59:59This, this is nothing short of a miracle.
01:00:03How could some nobody possibly have knife skills like that?
01:00:18Remarkable, absolutely remarkable.
01:00:20This young lady used an exceptionally rare knife technique.
01:00:24Every cut was made at a perfectly measured interval, alternating angles with flawless precision.
01:00:31While never fully severing the potato, only cutting about three quarters of the way through each time.
01:00:38That's how a single potato was transformed into a net of this scale.
01:00:43For this round, the winner is Vance Restaurant.
01:00:52We did it!
01:00:53Sage, you did it!
01:00:56You actually did it!
01:00:59Easy there.
01:01:03If anyone deserves credit, it's that ridiculously impressive cutting board of yours.
01:01:11You useless idiot!
01:01:14You lost to a woman?
01:01:15A homeless woman?
01:01:17No.
01:01:18That's impossible.
01:01:20I've only ever seen one chef use that knife technique.
01:01:24Who the hell are you?
01:01:28That was a fluke.
01:01:31Enjoy it while you can.
01:01:33In the next round, I'm going to crush you.
01:01:52Round two, seafood cuisine.
01:01:55Both teams, please select your competing chef.
01:02:02I'll admit it, you've got some impressive knife skills.
01:02:05But from here on out, things won't be nearly so easy.
01:02:10No way.
01:02:11I'm not letting that homeless bum steal all the spotlight.
01:02:15Aunt Elena, I think my hand's feeling better.
01:02:18I can compete for Vance Restaurant.
01:02:20Really, Molly?
01:02:21That's wonderful.
01:02:22Molly, seafood is your thing.
01:02:23This is your round.
01:02:25Rowan, let Molly handle round two.
01:02:27She'll win this for us.
01:02:29But, Mom, you can't bench Sage after what she just did.
01:02:34That's not right.
01:02:35Jasper, be realistic.
01:02:36She's a nobody.
01:02:37This round is seafood.
01:02:38She's probably never seen half these ingredients before.
01:02:41Exactly.
01:02:42Sage may have great knife skills, but seafood cuisine is Molly's field.
01:02:45There's no comparison.
01:02:47Miss Sage, perhaps you should sit this round out?
01:02:49Dad, Mom!
01:02:50I don't mind.
01:02:52But, Molly, one piece of advice.
01:02:54That chef is far more dangerous than he looks.
01:02:56Be careful.
01:02:57Sage, spare me the warning.
01:02:59I graduated top of my class from the country's most prestigious culinary academy.
01:03:04I don't need lessons in confidence from you.
01:03:17Hey, Scarface.
01:03:19When it comes to cooking, nobody beats me.
01:03:22Get ready to lose.
01:03:23The second match is now beginning.
01:03:26When you're handling lobster, speed is everything.
01:03:30Crack the shell.
01:03:31Extract the meat.
01:03:33Move on.
01:03:33And don't forget to stop by my restaurant if you want to taste real cooking.
01:03:39That's going to bring in a flood of customers.
01:03:43Her knife skills are solid.
01:03:45Unfortunately, she's already lost.
01:03:47Sage, what do you mean by that?
01:03:50What are you talking about?
01:03:52This match could decide whether Vance Restaurant survives and you're standing here predicting we'll lose?
01:03:58She's just upset Molly stole the spotlight.
01:04:01This is nothing but a cry for attention.
01:04:02Ms. Sage, why are you so certain Molly will lose?
01:04:05That's a live lobster.
01:04:07Rule number one, never smash the head.
01:04:09The brain, digestive tract, and bitter glands are all connected there.
01:04:13The moment you crush it, those glands rupture and contaminate the meat.
01:04:17Bitter fluid seep straight into the flesh.
01:04:19Once that happens, the flavor is ruined at the source.
01:04:22No chef can save it.
01:04:23And when you force apart a live lobster like that, the muscle fibers seize up instantly.
01:04:28The meat turns tough, the sweetness disappears, and the texture is ruined.
01:04:32She was so focused on speed that she destroyed the ingredient itself.
01:04:36How could she possibly win?
01:04:38But soup food is all about preserving the natural flavor.
01:04:41Doesn't that mean Molly has already lost?
01:04:44Shut up, street trash.
01:04:46You've probably never even touched real seed before.
01:04:49You're just making this up.
01:04:50Exactly.
01:04:51She's just jealous Molly's getting all the attention.
01:04:54Aunt Elena, don't let her fool you.
01:04:56Show some respect.
01:04:58Ms. Sage, then what would the proper technique be?
01:05:01First, you gently press the head to calm the lobster's nervous system.
01:05:04Then you insert a skewer through the tail to drain it cleanly without disturbing the bitter glands.
01:05:09Just like that chef is doing.
01:05:15He's actually massaging the lobster!
01:05:17Then you separate the head and body with a clean cut at the joint.
01:05:21Remove the shell without tearing the meat.
01:05:23Preserve the texture.
01:05:24Preserve the sweetness.
01:05:25That's the most basic respect you can show the ingredients.
01:05:28Damn it!
01:05:29Molly's about to ring in!
01:05:38You mishandled the lobster.
01:05:40Start over with a fresh one while you still have time.
01:05:44Sage's giving me cooking advice now?
01:05:46What a pathetic little know-it-all.
01:05:53Hope you're ready to lose.
01:05:55Hmph.
01:06:07Rowan, tonight is the night your family loses everything.
01:06:15Dirty trick.
01:06:22Sage!
01:06:24What the hell are you doing?
01:06:27You ruined my dish!
01:06:29That little brat just ruined everything!
01:06:37Wait.
01:06:39What's in this?
01:06:40What a shame.
01:06:41Vance Restaurant already rang in, which means the dish cannot be remade.
01:06:45Round two goes to Cyrus' team.
01:06:47Vance Restaurant loses this round.
01:06:51Congratulations, Chef Ken!
01:06:52This is all your fault!
01:06:54You ruined everything!
01:06:56My reputation, my restaurant, everything!
01:06:59I was trying to help you.
01:07:01Still making excuses?
01:07:03You sabotaged Molly because you knew she was about to prove you wrong!
01:07:08You couldn't stand seeing her win!
01:07:18What exactly do you think you're doing to my wife?
01:07:23Jasper, what are you doing?
01:07:25Ben is family!
01:07:26You're turning on him for a bum?
01:07:27Sage is my wife.
01:07:29No one lays a hand on my wife.
01:07:31No one.
01:07:33Aunt Elena?
01:07:34She's completely gotten into his head!
01:07:36Jasper, let him go!
01:07:42Rowan, have you finally gone senile?
01:07:44The culinary world belongs to men.
01:07:47And you think two women are going to win a death match?
01:07:49Women shouldn't be competing.
01:07:51They should be washing dishes in the back.
01:07:53Didn't your mother bring you into this world?
01:07:56Wasn't your first meal fed to you by a woman?
01:07:59Or did you somehow raise yourself?
01:08:02You!
01:08:05Clever mouth.
01:08:06Shame that doesn't win competitions.
01:08:08My trump ball is about to walk through that door, and when he does, this match is over.
01:08:14And once I acquire Vance Restaurant, I'll tear it down, brick by brick, and erase it from history!
01:08:20Rowan, your grandfather built this restaurant.
01:08:22We can't lose it!
01:08:26This round would have been ours if not for that bum.
01:08:29Uncle Rowan, let me take the final round.
01:08:31I swear I'll give it everything I've got!
01:08:45Sage, thank you.
01:08:46Molly's dish was already compromised, and someone tampered with it on top of that.
01:08:51If the judges had eaten it, and the substance had been discovered, Vance Restaurant had been finished.
01:08:56You saved us.
01:08:57Don't mention it.
01:08:58Anyone would have done the same.
01:09:00Round three is about to begin.
01:09:02Who will each side be sending in?
01:09:17That's Chef Lucas.
01:09:19The five-time runner-up of the World Caleri Championship.
01:09:27Well, that's a familiar face.
01:09:30That's Chef Lucas.
01:09:31No one's ever beaten him, except the culinary legend herself!
01:09:36No.
01:09:37If I go up against him, I'll lose.
01:09:39I forfeit.
01:09:40Molly, if you won't compete, then who will represent Vance Restaurant?
01:09:45Aunt Elena, this is your family's problem.
01:09:46I'm not throwing myself into a match.
01:09:48I can't win.
01:09:49The Vance family's finished.
01:09:51Unless they somehow bring in the culinary legend, nobody's beating Lucas.
01:09:54And that's obviously not happening.
01:10:09Rowan, Molly won't compete.
01:10:12We don't have anyone left.
01:10:15Uncle Rowan, it's not that we don't want to help.
01:10:18You have no idea how terrifying Lucas is.
01:10:20This match is unwinnable.
01:10:22Just concede.
01:10:27Miss Sage, as the owner of Vance Restaurant, I'm asking you sincerely to represent us one more time.
01:10:39Uncle Rowan, you're actually letting her compete?
01:10:42Have you lost your mind?
01:10:43She's a homeless loser who got lucky.
01:10:45There's no way her cooking is anywhere near Molly's level.
01:10:49Rowan, this is Vance Restaurant's last chance.
01:10:52Are you really putting everything on her?
01:10:53No, I think she may be the only chance we have.
01:10:57You're giving her way too much credit.
01:11:01She's a homeless loser!
01:11:04That's enough!
01:11:06Let me make this perfectly clear for the last time.
01:11:09Sage is my wife.
01:11:10No one gets to insult her.
01:11:12No one gets to look down on her.
01:11:15Sage, I don't care what anyone else says.
01:11:17This is your choice.
01:11:19If you want to compete, I'll stand beside you.
01:11:21If you don't, we'll leave right now.
01:11:23And don't worry about the restaurant.
01:11:25Even if we lose the restaurant, I'll open another one somewhere else.
01:11:28We'll start over if we have to.
01:11:31I told you before, I'm going to win this for you.
01:11:35Then I accept your request.
01:11:44Well, look who's here.
01:11:46You should consider it an honor to lose to me.
01:11:48Before today, someone like you would never have been worthy of standing across from me.
01:11:54You're mistaken.
01:11:55I'm not your opponent.
01:11:56It's her.
01:12:02Her aura reminds me of...
01:12:05But that's impossible.
01:12:07It can't be her.
01:12:08It can't be that monster.
01:12:13Since both sides have selected their competing chefs, the time has come.
01:12:19Let the third round begin!
01:12:30Welcome, everyone, to the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:12:34Round three.
01:12:35The final round that will decide the outcome of the Vance Restaurant versus Cyrus Potter Culinary Deathmatch.
01:12:43And now the format for our final round is Mystery Basket.
01:12:48Each chef will draw a set of ingredients from the box.
01:12:51You'll then have 30 minutes to create a dish on the spot.
01:12:54No substitutions.
01:12:55No redraws.
01:12:56And every ingredient you draw must be used.
01:13:00Mystery Basket?
01:13:02That's the ultimate challenge!
01:13:04The hardest format in competitive cuisines!
01:13:07Why is it considered the hardest?
01:13:09Because the chef's going completely blind.
01:13:10Wellington, souffles, those can be practiced hundreds of times.
01:13:14Mystery Basket can't.
01:13:15It's pure instinct, pure technique, pure talent.
01:13:19Uncle Roe!
01:13:20Lucas has competed in this format five times.
01:13:23He knows Mystery Basket inside and out.
01:13:26Sage barely knows any dishes.
01:13:28You shouldn't have chosen her!
01:13:30So she's just some amateur cook.
01:13:32How did I ever mistake her for that woman?
01:13:36She's definitely gonna lose.
01:13:38You should be honored, kid.
01:13:41Losing to me is the highlight of your career.
01:13:44Is that so?
01:13:47Chefs, please make your draw.
01:14:02Chef Lucas has drawn squid, bell peppers, onion, and fresh asparagus.
01:14:08Congratulations, Chef Lucas.
01:14:11Beautiful draw, Lucas.
01:14:13What a lucky break.
01:14:14That's practically the perfect basket.
01:14:17Luck is part of the game, kid.
01:14:19If I were you, I'd wash my hands before drawing.
01:14:21Get rid of some of that bad luck.
01:14:23Otherwise, when you pull a nightmare basket, don't accuse me of picking on the weak.
01:14:36Oh, my.
01:14:38Our second basket contains live Boston lobster, blue cheese, durian, dagelial greens, and arugula.
01:14:46Oh, she's finished.
01:14:47That's gotta be the worst mystery basket drive ever seen.
01:14:51Those ingredients don't even belong in the same dish.
01:14:53Boston lobster is one of the finest seafood ingredients in the world.
01:14:57Pairing it with pungent blue cheese and rich sweet durian creates a complete flavor clash.
01:15:02Sage has been handed an impossible challenge.
01:15:04Rowan, you're about to watch that little streetcrat humiliate herself in front of the entire room.
01:15:13Sage, I believe in you!
01:15:15You can do this!
01:15:31I know exactly what I'm making.
01:15:33Why did she just do that?
01:15:36That's exactly what she used to do.
01:15:39That woman.
01:15:41The one who crushed me every single time, no matter how hard I fought.
01:15:47Time starts now.
01:15:49Chefs, you may begin.
01:15:57It can't be her.
01:15:58Not here.
01:15:59Not like this.
01:16:01I'm letting old ghosts get in my head.
01:16:27What an incredible night was.
01:16:30No wonder he's a five-time world championship runner-up.
01:16:33This round's already over.
01:16:35The Vances don't stand a chance.
01:16:43Superb knife work, elegant presentation, and the flavor is absolutely flawless.
01:16:48Those ingredients fight each other at every level.
01:16:51The flavors are completely incompatible.
01:16:54No chef alive can make that basket work.
01:16:56You've already lost.
01:16:58Lucas is already finished.
01:16:59Why hasn't she even started cooking?
01:17:01Don't tell me she gave up the second she saw that basket.
01:17:04I said from day one she's bad luck.
01:17:05She sabotaged Molly's dish on purpose.
01:17:07She wants Vance Restaurant to lose.
01:17:09You humiliated me in front of everyone.
01:17:11You humiliated me in front of everyone.
01:17:12Now let's see how you handle a basket like that.
01:17:23One cut and the shell separated perfectly from the meat.
01:17:26How is that even possible?
01:17:57Youε€±aced me in front of everyone.
