✍Synopsis:
She's the world's best chef. Five championships. She's tired of being used for her name, so she goes undercover as a homeless beggar to find someone who'll see her for who she is — not what she can do for them.

He's a kind man with a failing family restaurant. He needs a fake fiancée to save the business. He picks her. He doesn't know she can cook. She doesn't tell him.

Then the rivals force a "Culinary Death Match." He thinks they're done for. She pulls out her signature blade and blue flame. That moment — when he realizes who he actually married — is exactly what this kind of story is made for.

00:00No, I don't want all that money.
00:04Just a burger.
00:05Lady, that money could buy ten burgers!
00:08I only want one burger.
00:09Fresh off the grill.
00:11Still hot.
00:16Here you go.
00:17Hope it's what you wanted.
00:19Easy there.
00:20Take your time.
00:20And please, keep the money.
00:22It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:25You're a good man.
00:27It's nothing.
00:28His kindness, it's genuine.
00:31Then let me thank you properly.
00:34An exclusive ten billion dollar investment contract from Home Group?
00:38Covering the entire state?
00:39Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:41You should take it back.
00:43Why would I be joking?
00:44My cousin works at Home Group.
00:46A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:50What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:52You know what, never mind.
00:54If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:56Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:58Something else?
00:58No, that's really not.
01:03Jasper, everything's ready here.
01:04When are you and Daisy getting back?
01:06Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
01:09A situation?
01:09Did you two have a fight?
01:10Jasper, go make things right.
01:12Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
01:14We cannot lose the bride.
01:15And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
01:18Do you understand?
01:19Don't worry.
01:20I'll get you a bride.
01:22You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
01:24Yes.
01:26Anything.
01:27Then give me your hand.
01:35If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
01:39Marry you?
01:40No, I can't.
01:41My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring
01:45in investors.
01:45But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
01:49So I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride and come home with me, just to help me
01:54get through the wedding.
01:56That's...
01:56Don't worry.
01:57I'm not asking you to do it for free.
01:59I'll give you $500 a day.
02:00You earn some steady cash.
02:02My family calms down.
02:03What do you say?
02:04Perfect.
02:05It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
02:10All right.
02:11You've got yourself a deal.
02:31Wow.
02:32You look incredible.
02:37So...
02:38Want a kiss?
02:40Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
02:43You can't just start talking like that.
02:46Well, we could always make it real.
02:51I can't.
02:52I already have feelings for someone.
02:56It's her.
02:57The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
03:01Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on Earth.
03:04And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
03:07The one and only culinary legend.
03:09She's the woman of my dreams.
03:11He's got a crush on me?
03:14That's unexpectedly adorable.
03:15So don't get any ideas.
03:17Maintain a safe distance.
03:19Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
03:23Relax.
03:24You're not my type.
03:25Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
03:28Impossible.
03:29My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
03:34Stay here.
03:35I'm going to grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
03:37It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
03:42Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
03:45Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under home group's name.
03:49Right away, boss.
03:53Remember, if my parents ask what your family does, tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
04:00Annual revenue, let's see.
04:03Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year, so tell them yours makes $10 million.
04:08And you're okay with lying to them?
04:10My family's desperate for investment.
04:13The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
04:17But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
04:19Your restaurant is still in trouble.
04:23It'll work out.
04:25My idol always says,
04:27The only strength that matters is your own.
04:30I've spent years building my startup.
04:32One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
04:35build a world-class restaurant,
04:37and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
04:42Mr. Vance!
04:45Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
04:47That's Cyrus Potter.
04:48Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
04:51And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
04:54Jasper just dumped his daughter.
04:56There's no way he's here for anything good.
05:06Relax.
05:07Why so tense?
05:07Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology.
05:10What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong.
05:13And I'm truly sorry.
05:14Forget the engagement.
05:16I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
05:18So good it can make anyone hungry.
05:20Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
05:23If you can get him to eat,
05:25there'll be a very generous reward.
05:26If you can't,
05:27then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
05:30Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce.
05:32But I've injured my wrist recently.
05:34And young Master Leo's condition is...
05:35So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
05:38A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
05:42Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
05:44No.
05:45Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
05:48World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
05:50The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend,
05:53and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that meal.
05:55You're not here for dinner.
05:57You're here to destroy us.
06:01That's right.
06:02You had the nerve to drop my daughter.
06:04Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
06:09Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
06:11That's grounds for closure.
06:13Tear it apart.
06:16Stop.
06:21Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
06:25There she goes again.
06:27Always desperate for attention.
06:30What are you doing?
06:31This is my family's problem, not yours.
06:34Stay behind me.
06:36No one's ever tried to protect me before.
06:38You want payback for your daughter?
06:40Fine.
06:40This is all on me.
06:41Do whatever you want of me.
06:42Just leave my family out of it.
06:45Brave little fool.
06:47If you want to go down first, be my guest.
06:52Nobody lays a hand on my son.
06:54I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
06:57Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family,
07:00and you don't damage a single thing in my restaurant.
07:02They haven't even had a chance to cook yet.
07:04How can you shut them down already?
07:05He's not even trying to hide it.
07:07This is obviously a setup.
07:08Fine.
07:09But if you fail,
07:10don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
07:21Let's see if you've got anything
07:22that can compete with a culinary legend.
07:41Please, give it a try.
07:52Oh my god, he ate it!
07:54Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like,
07:57but Chef Rowan actually got him to take a bite!
08:00Honey, you did it!
08:04Sage, what is it?
08:06The sauce is good,
08:08but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
08:11Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
08:13Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
08:16If there was something wrong with a dish,
08:18why would Master Leo eat it?
08:19Do you think we're all idiots?
08:31That's disgusting!
08:32Why would you serve me this?
08:34What?
08:35No way!
08:36She was right.
08:37She actually called it.
08:38Ha ha ha ha!
08:39Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer.
08:43Clearly unfit to operate.
08:45As the senator's representative,
08:46I'm shutting this place down immediately!
08:49Wait!
08:51Who says nobody in the Vance family
08:53can make something he'll eat?
08:55You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
08:58Since when do rich girls know how to cook?
09:01Stop making things worse.
09:02Ha!
09:03Rowan, have you really run out of options?
09:05You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
09:09Sage, stop.
09:10Be serious.
09:10You don't know how to cook.
09:12He doesn't need food.
09:13He needs a taste
09:14that reminds him what hunger feels like.
09:16A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
09:19And there's only one person in the world
09:21who knows how to do that.
09:22And it's me.
09:26Do you trust me?
09:28There's something about her.
09:29Something that makes you want to believe.
09:31Fine.
09:32One last chance.
09:34I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
09:36And nobody helps her.
09:38Ten minutes?
09:38It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
09:41Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
09:43Ten.
09:43You've got one shot.
09:45Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
09:48You!
09:49Fine.
09:50But ten minutes is excessive.
09:52Give me three.
09:53Three minutes?
09:54Sage, this is no time for jokes!
09:56You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
09:59If she wants to embarrass herself,
10:00who am I to stop her?
10:01Three minutes it is.
10:02Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
10:05Are you sure about this?
10:07Three minutes isn't enough time.
10:09For someone else, maybe.
10:10Not for me.
10:25She carries chef's tools with her everywhere?
10:33Go ahead.
10:34Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
10:39Go show them what you've got.
10:58How far along is she?
10:59Why is it so quiet?
11:00Maybe she realized she's in over her head
11:02and is back there crying.
11:1530 seconds.
11:16That's all you've got left.
11:18Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
11:20Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
11:23That's not what I meant.
11:31What is that smell?
11:33I've never smelled anything like it before.
11:36Oh my god.
11:38I'm actually drooling.
11:39She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
11:41Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
11:43This is the pinnacle of the craft.
11:45The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
11:48Jasper,
11:49who exactly did you bring home?
11:5210 seconds!
11:54If she doesn't put a dish on that table,
11:55I'm shutting this place down!
12:04Please, enjoy.
12:12That's, that's impossi-
12:14Please, dig in.
12:23But that's it?
12:25It's just a burger?
12:27You're kidding me!
12:28Three minutes, and this is the best you could do?
12:30A burger?
12:32Complete garbage.
12:33How embarrassing!
12:35All that drama,
12:36and she comes out with something
12:37that looks like it was stolen from a drive-thru.
12:39Is it?
12:39Then why don't you taste it,
12:40and find out?
12:41Taste it?
12:42Master Leo's eaten the finest food money can buy.
12:45Why would he even look at something like that?
12:47There's no way he'll touch it!
12:57Elena, look at the kind of woman Jasper brought home.
13:00Nobody even knows who she is.
13:02And now she's about to drag the entire Vance family down with her.
13:06It's over.
13:07Is this really how the Vance restaurant ends?
13:09Jasper!
13:10Where did you find this girl?
13:17Mom, he hasn't even tasted it yet.
13:19Maybe Sage can actually pull this off.
13:21The senator spent millions
13:23bringing in the world's greatest chefs for this boy,
13:26and not one of them got him to eat.
13:28If he takes a bite of this pathetic little burger,
13:31I'll eat this table.
13:33Careful.
13:34I'd hate to see you break your word.
13:37You've got quite a mouth on you.
13:38Don't worry, girl.
13:39I won't forget it.
13:41When the Vance family falls, you'll be right there with them.
13:45Young Master Leo, can you believe they tried to serve you this slodge?
13:50I'll throw it away right now.
13:51Report this insult to your father and have this place shut down immediately.
13:57I want that.
14:00Give it to me.
14:01I want it.
14:02Master Leo, no.
14:03You can't eat something like that.
14:05It's junk food.
14:05This is the first time Master Leo has ever asked for food himself.
14:10What's in that burger?
14:12He's probably just curious,
14:13because he's never seen food this cheap before.
14:16Elena, that burger could make him sick.
14:18He shouldn't be eating it.
14:19Enough, Mia!
14:21You're my cousin.
14:22Why is every word out of your mouth
14:24trying to tear someone down?
14:29Master Leo,
14:30this was prepared especially for you by Vance Restaurant.
14:33Please, enjoy.
14:47Is it good or bad?
14:49Isn't it obvious?
14:50It's awful.
14:52Look at him.
14:53He's literally crying.
14:54This taste.
14:55This taste.
14:57It's terrible, isn't it?
14:58You don't have to force yourself, Master Leo.
15:01Just spit it out.
15:02I'll make sure they're punished for this.
15:04Why isn't he saying anything?
15:06He's just crying.
15:07Is it really that bad?
15:08That's it.
15:09It's so awful.
15:10He can't even talk.
15:11This is all her fault.
15:13Jasper, we're all going to pay
15:15for your reckless wife's mistake.
15:17Unbelievable.
15:18You served Senator Bruce's son
15:21this disgusting slob?
15:23Seal this place off.
15:27As of this moment,
15:29I am officially shutting down Vance Restaurant
15:31on the Senator's behalf.
15:33No, you can't do this.
15:38How stupid you have to be
15:39to let some little girl do the cooking.
15:41Don't worry.
15:43Once I take over this restaurant,
15:44I'll tear it down brick by brick.
15:46Every trace of you people will be wiped away
15:48just like this pathetic burger.
15:52Give me back my burger!
15:54You idiot!
16:09This is the greatest thing
16:14I've ever tasted.
16:30This is the most delicious thing
16:33I've ever eaten!
16:35She actually did it.
16:36She got a child with severe anorexia to eat
16:38and she did it in three minutes.
16:40Honestly, a chef who can work
16:42under a deadline that brutal
16:43and still produce a flawless dish?
16:45There are only a handful in the world.
16:48You did it!
16:49Sage, you actually did it!
16:51You saved our restaurant!
16:53Easy there.
16:54You're breaking my ribs.
16:56Sorry.
16:57I got a little carried away.
17:03I couldn't exactly let down
17:04the one person who believed in me.
17:08Looks like Jasper.
17:10Brought a little miracle
17:11into this family.
17:13Damn it!
17:15Somehow she always ends up
17:17stealing the spotlight.
17:19No way!
17:20I did my homework!
17:22The only food Leo will eat
17:23is food made by the culinary legend!
17:25How gossiply...
17:29Unless...
17:31She's...
17:32What am I thinking?
17:34The culinary legend
17:35is a complete mystery.
17:37She never shows
17:38her face in public.
17:40There's no way
17:40she'd be here.
17:42Miss!
17:43That burger was incredible!
17:45Other than the culinary legend's food,
17:46I've never eaten anything
17:48that tasted this good!
17:53I'll give you
17:53ten million dollars.
17:55Ten million dollars?
17:57Will you come home with me?
18:00That's a very generous offer.
18:01But I have a wedding
18:02to get through.
18:04So I can't come home with you.
18:11Then I'll marry you!
18:19Miss Sage,
18:20will you marry me?
18:22Hey!
18:22She's my wife!
18:25Be good.
18:27Give this to your father
18:28and tell him to call me.
18:29I promise.
18:30I'll come see you.
18:32Pinky promise?
18:34Pinky promise.
18:36Now off you go.
18:40Promise me you'll keep eating
18:41when you get home, okay?
18:43Okay?
18:49Bye, Miss Sage!
18:50I'll come visit you!
18:52Master Leo, wait for me!
18:54Shh!
18:55You think this is over?
18:57Think again!
18:58Before today is done,
18:59none of you are getting off easy!
19:04You're a good girl.
19:05We owe you a lot.
19:06And about earlier,
19:08don't take any of that to heart.
19:09Of course not.
19:11She really is a lovely girl.
19:13You two hit the jackpot.
19:15A daughter-in-law
19:16with money,
19:17grace,
19:18and talent in the kitchen?
19:19That's rare!
19:24Elena, you're all being played.
19:25She's not who she claims to be.
19:27Mia, what are you talking about?
19:28Doesn't any of this strike you as strange?
19:31Every rich girl I've ever met is pampered.
19:33They have staff waiting on them hand and foot.
19:36Most of them don't even know where the kitchen is.
19:38But she carries chef's tools on her body
19:40and cooks like a master chef.
19:42She's got a point.
19:43Girls from families like that
19:44usually don't cook for themselves.
19:45Sage took cooking classes.
19:47Is it really that strange
19:48that she knows her way around a kitchen?
19:50Knowing how to cook isn't strange.
19:52But rich girls take care of their hands.
19:55Manicures, treatments.
19:57Even if they cook,
19:58it's only once in a while.
19:59Look at these hands.
20:00Every finger is covered in calishes.
20:03Those are not the hands of a wealthy heiresh.
20:04Good grief.
20:05My aunt works on a farm
20:07and her hands aren't even that rough.
20:08There's only one explanation.
20:10She's a fraud
20:11pretending to be a rich heiress
20:13so she can scam people out of money!
20:19Sorry.
20:20I don't like being manhandled.
20:22You!
20:23Elena, do you see that?
20:25She's getting defensive
20:26because she's been caught!
20:27Jasper, I want answers.
20:29Even if she can cook,
20:30if she's not who she said she is,
20:32she can't solve our financial problems.
20:34What's really going on here?
20:35Jasper, tell me the truth.
20:38Did you bring this woman here to deceive us?
20:40No, Dad.
20:41Just hear me out.
20:42If she's been lying to us,
20:44we'll never accept her.
20:46Elena, that's not fair.
20:47Sage just saved this family.
20:49That's a separate issue, Eve.
20:51A liar has no place in this family.
20:54Even if this restaurant goes under,
20:56I won't stand by
20:58and let a fraud
20:59take advantage of my family.
21:02Sage is not a fraud,
21:04and she has absolutely no interest
21:06in taking anything from this family.
21:07I swear it on my life.
21:09And what does that prove?
21:11You don't have a shred of evidence.
21:13Real air aces don't have hands covered in callus.
21:16You!
21:19Tell me something.
21:20Since when are calluses a source of shame?
21:32Maybe you see these and think they're ugly.
21:34I don't.
21:35Every one of them is proof of the hours I've worked,
21:38the sacrifices I've made,
21:39and everything I've earned with my own two hands.
21:42They don't represent poverty.
21:44They represent hard-earned independence.
21:48They remind me that I built my strength myself
21:51and never had to rely on anyone else.
21:54Shameful?
21:54No.
21:55These are the medals I'm proudest of.
21:57The only thing that should be ashamed
21:59is looking down on people for honest work.
22:14And as for being after your money,
22:16that's the funnest accusation of all.
22:20Because I've already arranged
22:21a $50 million wedding gift
22:23for my husband, Jasper.
22:24$50 million?
22:26Are you serious?
22:27Wow.
22:27The lies just keep getting bigger.
22:29Do you even understand
22:30how much $50 million is?
22:33Exactly.
22:34The kind of person
22:34who can casually hand over $50 million
22:36is on the Forbes rich list.
22:38She's obviously a fraud.
22:40She can't even afford a decent hotel,
22:42and we're supposed to believe
22:43she's giving away millions?
22:44Jasper, throw her out already.
22:46Don't let her keep humiliating your family.
22:49Have you lost your mind?
22:51Where are you supposed to get $50 million?
22:53This is way too big a bluff.
22:55Trust me.
22:56I won't make a fool of you.
22:58Where's the gift I asked you to prepare?
22:59We're at the entrance
23:01to the neighborhood, boss.
23:02We'll be there any second.
23:04It won't be much longer.
23:06Keep talking.
23:09Let's see how long
23:10you can keep this act going.
23:25No way.
23:27They actually showed up.
23:40The first person to offer me food
23:42gets a $10 million investment.
23:45Please, could someone spare a little food?
23:48Wait!
23:49Don't go over there.
23:50What's wrong, babe?
23:51That bum over there
23:53went to high school with me.
23:55If she spots me,
23:56she'll probably start begging me for money.
23:59Let's take a side street.
24:01Wait, you mean Sage?
24:02That's really her?
24:04You know her?
24:05She's my ex.
24:06We broke up when she left town for work.
24:08Wow.
24:08I never thought she'd end up on the street.
24:10I've got to record this.
24:12Come on.
24:13If people find out
24:14a successful restaurant owner like me
24:16went to school with her,
24:17it'll screw up my image.
24:19Molly,
24:20that franchise you're so proud of
24:22only exists
24:23because I gave it to you.
24:25Please.
24:27Is there really no one out here
24:28worth believing in?
24:46Are you alright?
24:52Jasper,
24:52why are you standing around?
24:54With some filthy hobo?
24:57You gave my bread to her?
24:59Your bread?
25:00I bought it
25:01and you said you didn't want it.
25:04Even if I don't want it,
25:06it shouldn't be wasted
25:07on a sewer rat like her.
25:11She belongs on the ground
25:13picking up scraps.
25:14Daisy,
25:15that's enough!
25:16I'm your fiance
25:17and you're taking some random
25:18bum side over me?
25:20If you still want to marry me,
25:22then make her get lost.
25:23Right now.
25:25Well,
25:26I guess the wedding's off.
25:27What did you just say?
25:28You're calling off our engagement
25:30over some homeless freak?
25:32Do you have any idea
25:33what my father could do to her?
25:34Leave her out of this, Daisy.
25:36I made this decision
25:37a long time ago.
25:38Our engagement
25:39was nothing more
25:39than a family arrangement.
25:41You were never the woman
25:42I wanted to marry.
25:43My wife won't be someone
25:44who looks down on those
25:45with less than her.
25:47Someone who treats cruelty
25:48like a virtue.
25:50You bastard!
25:51How dare you!
25:52Your family's restaurant
25:53is already drowning financially.
25:55Without my father's investment,
25:56it'll be out of business
25:57in no time!
25:58Your father only angled
25:59for this marriage
26:00because he's after
26:01my family's recipes.
26:02And let me make this clear,
26:03even if we're struggling,
26:04our restaurant isn't something
26:06he can just take away.
26:10You're gonna regret this!
26:15Dad, Jasper just called
26:16off our engagement!
26:17Buy out his family's restaurant now!
26:19I want you to strip him
26:20of everything!
26:30I'm sorry you got dragged
26:31into all this.
26:32Please, take the money.
26:33At least let me buy you
26:34a decent meal.
26:35No, I don't want
26:36all that money.
26:38Just a burger.
26:40Lady, that money
26:41could buy ten burgers!
26:42I only want one burger.
26:44Fresh off the grill.
26:46Still hot.
26:52Here you go.
26:53Hope it's what you wanted.
27:01Easy there.
27:02Take your time.
27:03And please, keep the money.
27:05It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
27:08You're a good man.
27:11It's nothing.
27:12His kindness,
27:12it's genuine.
27:15Then let me thank you properly.
27:18An exclusive $10 billion
27:20investment contract
27:21from Home Group?
27:23Covering the entire state?
27:24Nice try,
27:25but I'm not falling for this.
27:26You should take it back.
27:28Why would I be joking?
27:29My cousin works at Home Group.
27:31A contract like this
27:32can only be signed
27:33by the founder herself,
27:34the culinary legend.
27:36What, don't tell me
27:36you're actually her?
27:38Well, you know what?
27:39Never mind.
27:40If you don't believe me,
27:41then tell me what else you want.
27:42Whatever it is,
27:43I'll make it happen.
27:44Something else?
27:45No, that's really not.
27:50Jasper, everything's ready here.
27:51When are you and Daisy
27:52getting back?
27:53Mom, Daisy and I,
27:54we've run into
27:55a bit of a situation.
27:56A situation?
27:57Did you two have a fight?
27:58Jasper, go make things right.
28:00Our restaurant is depending
28:01on the funding
28:02from this marriage.
28:02We cannot lose the bride.
28:04And we certainly can't
28:05survive the damage
28:06to our reputations
28:06if this goes south.
28:07Do you understand?
28:08Don't worry.
28:09I'll get you a bride.
28:11You said you'd make
28:12any wish I had come true?
28:14Yes.
28:15Anything.
28:16Then give me your hand.
28:26If you really want
28:27to thank me,
28:28then marry me.
28:30Marry you?
28:31No, I can't.
28:32My family's restaurant
28:33is in trouble
28:34and my parents are hoping
28:35a marriage will bring
28:36in investors.
28:37But I refuse to treat
28:38my own future
28:39like a business deal.
28:40So, I'm asking you
28:42to pretend to be
28:43a wealthy bride
28:44and come home with me
28:45just to help me
28:46get through the wedding.
28:48That's...
28:49Don't worry.
28:50I'm not asking you
28:50to do it for free.
28:51I'll give you $500 a day.
28:53You earn some steady cash.
28:55My family calms down.
28:56What do you say?
28:58Perfect.
28:58It'll give me more time
28:59to see who he really is.
29:04All right.
29:05You've got yourself a deal.
29:27Wow.
29:28You look incredible.
29:33So...
29:34Want a kiss?
29:37Whoa.
29:37We're not even real
29:38husband and wife.
29:41You can't just start
29:42talking like that.
29:43Well, we could always
29:44make it real.
29:49I can't.
29:50I already have feelings
29:51for someone.
29:55It's her.
29:56The woman who won
29:57the World Culinary
29:58Championship at 18.
30:00Built home group
30:01into the greatest
30:01hospitality empire
30:02on Earth.
30:03And went on to
30:04dominate the competition
30:05year after year.
30:06The one and only
30:07culinary legend.
30:09She's the woman
30:09of my dreams.
30:11He's got a crush
30:12on me.
30:13That's
30:14unexpectedly adorable.
30:16So don't get
30:17any ideas.
30:18Maintain a safe
30:19distance.
30:20Otherwise,
30:20I'll have to revoke
30:21your fake bride
30:22privileges.
30:24Relax.
30:25You're not my type.
30:27Just make sure
30:27you don't fall
30:28for me first.
30:29Impossible.
30:31My heart already
30:32belongs
30:32to the culinary
30:34legend.
30:36Stay here.
30:37I'm going to grab
30:38a few gifts
30:38for you to bring
30:39home.
30:40It'll help you
30:41make a good
30:41first impression
30:42on my family.
30:45Put together
30:46a gift package
30:46worth $50 million.
30:48Have it delivered
30:49to Vance Restaurant
30:50under Home Group's
30:52name.
30:52Right away, boss.
30:58Remember, if my
30:59parents ask
31:00what your family
31:01does, tell them
31:03your parents own
31:03a restaurant company.
31:05Annual revenue,
31:06let's see.
31:08Daisy's family
31:09makes about $5 million
31:11a year, so tell them
31:12yours makes $10 million.
31:14And you're okay
31:15with lying to them?
31:16My family's desperate
31:18for investment.
31:19The only way they'll
31:19accept a last-minute
31:20replacement fiancé
31:22is if they think
31:23she's an upgrade
31:23on paper.
31:24But that doesn't
31:25actually solve
31:25the problem.
31:26Your restaurant
31:27is still in trouble.
31:31It'll work out.
31:32My idol always says,
31:35the only strength
31:36that matters
31:36is your own.
31:38I've spent years
31:39building my startup.
31:40One day, I'll solve
31:41my family's problems
31:42myself,
31:44build a world-class
31:45restaurant and stand
31:46beside the culinary
31:47legend as her equal.
31:56Is Jasper back yet?
31:58Honestly, forcing him
32:00to marry that spoiled
32:01Daisy just to save
32:03the restaurant
32:03isn't fair to him.
32:05Mom, how can you
32:06say that?
32:07Daisy's family
32:08practically runs
32:09the restaurant industry
32:10in this state.
32:10Marrying her
32:11brings a million
32:12dollars into our
32:13business.
32:14That's something
32:15to celebrate.
32:16Exactly.
32:17Jasper's 29.
32:18It's time he settled
32:19down.
32:19And I'm not handing
32:20over the family's
32:21secret sauce recipe
32:22until he does.
32:24Daisy Syrah's daughter,
32:25the biggest name
32:26in the local
32:26restaurant business.
32:27It's a good match.
32:28He's hardly suffering.
32:30What's so special
32:31about that rich girl?
32:32girl, I should have been
32:34the one marrying Jasper.
32:37Dad, Mom, Grandma,
32:38we're here!
32:44Wait, why isn't Daisy
32:46with you?
32:47Who is that?
32:50Jasper, what is the meaning
32:52of this?
32:53Where's Daisy?
32:54Mom, Dad, I called off
32:56the engagement.
32:57I don't love Daisy.
32:59Sage is the woman
33:00I want to marry.
33:01And today, that's exactly
33:03what I'm going to do.
33:04Have you lost your mind?
33:06Jasper, this is
33:07unbelievably irresponsible.
33:09Do you have any idea
33:10how badly we need
33:11Daisy's family's investment?
33:12If you alienate them,
33:13you could bankrupt
33:14this restaurant overnight.
33:16Enough.
33:17We've got a yard full
33:19of guests and a wedding
33:20ready to go.
33:21The least we can do
33:22is hear the boy out.
33:24Sage, go ahead
33:25and introduce yourself.
33:27Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance,
33:29Grandmother,
33:29it's a pleasure
33:30to meet all of you.
33:31Where are you from?
33:32How many people
33:33are in your family?
33:35What do your parents do?
33:36And how much money
33:37do they make?
33:37We're from Houston.
33:39I'm an only child.
33:40My father owns
33:41a chain of restaurant hotels
33:42and my mother
33:43is a homemaker.
33:44Annual family income,
33:46$10 million.
33:48$10 million a year?
33:49Daisy's family runs
33:50the biggest restaurant
33:51business around here
33:52and they only make five.
33:53This fiance is
33:54the real deal.
33:54Well, isn't that wonderful?
33:56A restaurant family
33:57just like ours.
33:58I knew I liked you
33:59the moment I saw you.
34:01Called it.
34:08Sweetheart,
34:09where are your parents?
34:10It's your wedding day.
34:11Why aren't they here?
34:14My parents are overseas
34:15on business.
34:16They couldn't get away.
34:17Right.
34:17Sage's parents
34:18are pretty hands-off.
34:19She makes her own decisions.
34:20As long as she sends them
34:21an email, they're happy.
34:22That's true.
34:23Wealthy families
34:24are different
34:24about those things.
34:27Jasper, this was
34:28a reckless stunt.
34:29Next time,
34:30you talk to us first.
34:31Understood?
34:32Well then,
34:33let's not waste
34:33any more time.
34:34The ceremony's
34:35about to start.
34:36Come with me.
34:36I'll get you ready.
34:39Hold on!
34:40Elena!
34:41She's lying.
34:42Every word of it.
34:44Mia, why would you
34:45say something like that?
34:46Mia, I know you've
34:48always had feelings
34:49for Jasper.
34:50But Sage is clearly
34:51a better match for him.
34:53Don't start trouble
34:54where there isn't done.
34:56Aunt Elena,
34:57I'm serious.
34:58I saw her with my own eyes
34:59this morning
35:00coming out of
35:00some run-down motel.
35:02She is not
35:03some wealthy hotel heiress.
35:13What kind of rich
35:14iris stays in a motel?
35:16Shouldn't she be living
35:16in one of her family's
35:17luxury hotels?
35:19Jasper,
35:20care to explain?
35:21If her family
35:22owns hotels,
35:23I were the two of you
35:24coming out of a dump
35:25like that.
35:27Jasper's been conned.
35:28She saw a handsome guy
35:29from a family
35:30that owns a successful
35:31restaurant and decided
35:32to scam her way
35:33into your lives.
35:34That's not true!
35:35Sage isn't a scammer!
35:37She was there because...
35:38because...
35:40Because...
35:40my family's hotels
35:42are exclusive resorts
35:43on private islands.
35:44We don't operate
35:45properties on the mainland.
35:48Hotels on private islands?
35:49How luxurious is that?
35:52Nothing extravagant.
35:53Just over 500 properties
35:54worldwide.
35:55The brand is called
35:56Home.
35:57If you'd like,
35:57I can arrange
35:58membership cards
35:59for everyone.
35:59Home?
36:00That's the
36:01Culinary Legends Company.
36:03Are you trying
36:04to get me killed?
36:05I told you
36:05to pretend
36:06to be rich,
36:07not pretend
36:07to be the
36:08Culinary Legend.
36:09See?
36:10I told you!
36:11She's a fraud!
36:12Home was founded
36:13by the Culinary Legend
36:14herself,
36:15and this woman
36:16is actually claiming
36:17it belongs
36:18to her family!
36:19That's unbelievable.
36:20Who tells lies
36:21that ridiculous?
36:22What a fraud.
36:23Does she really think
36:24anyone can pretend
36:25to be the Culinary Legend?
36:26Jasper,
36:27have you been lying
36:28to your father and me?
36:29No,
36:30I'm not.
36:30Jasper,
36:31the truth.
36:32Right now,
36:33who exactly
36:34is this woman?
36:35Mom,
36:36Dad,
36:36her family really
36:37is in the hotel business,
36:38just not home.
36:40She was joking,
36:41that's all,
36:41just making a joke.
36:42Grandma,
36:43you've always wanted
36:44to see me get married,
36:44right?
36:45Let us do it today,
36:46right here,
36:47with you watching.
36:49Wait,
36:49we're not done here.
36:51Mia,
36:51what exactly
36:51are you trying to do?
36:52Are you deliberately
36:53trying to ruin this?
36:54Jasper,
36:54I'm not trying
36:55to cause trouble.
36:55I just don't want
36:56Aunt Elena
36:56and the rest
36:57of the family
36:57being lied to.
36:58Mia,
36:59what are you saying?
37:00Aunt Elena,
37:00doesn't this strike
37:01you as strange?
37:02For years,
37:02Jasper has been obsessed
37:03with the culinary legend.
37:04He's always said
37:05that if he couldn't
37:06marry her,
37:07anyone else
37:07would just be settling.
37:09So how does he
37:10suddenly meet
37:10the love of his life
37:11and call off
37:12an engagement
37:12over her?
37:13Jasper,
37:14you didn't hire someone
37:15to pretend
37:16to be your bride
37:17just to get out
37:18of this marriage,
37:18did you?
37:20No way,
37:21that's insane.
37:22That can't be true.
37:24Jasper would never
37:25lie to me.
37:26Jasper,
37:26answer me.
37:27Is this woman
37:28a fake bride
37:29you hired
37:29to deceive
37:29your grandmother?
37:31Dad,
37:32Grandma,
37:32don't listen to her.
37:33Stop making things up.
37:34Am I?
37:35Since the moment
37:36they got here,
37:36they've done everything
37:37they can to keep
37:38their distance.
37:38Other than holding hands,
37:40they haven't acted
37:40like a couple once.
37:42No chemistry,
37:43no affection.
37:44They don't look like
37:45two people about
37:45to get married
37:46because it's all fake.
37:50Oh,
37:50you want affection?
37:51Fine,
37:51we'll give you affection.
37:54Here,
37:55sweetheart,
37:56have something sweet
37:57and let me steal a taste.
38:18Why do her eyes
38:19feel so familiar?
38:20I told you,
38:21my grandson would
38:22never lie to me.
38:23Look at them.
38:24They're perfect together.
38:26You're the first man
38:27who's ever had the nerve
38:29to kiss me like that.
38:32Happy now?
38:33How does it feel
38:34watching the man you like
38:35kiss somebody else?
38:37Mr. Vance!
38:39Looks like quite the celebration
38:41you've got going on.
38:42That's Cyrus Potter,
38:43Daisy's father,
38:44the biggest name
38:44in the restaurant business
38:45in the state.
38:46And that kid with him,
38:47isn't that Senator Bruce's
38:48only son?
38:49Jasper just dumped
38:50his daughter.
38:51There's no way
38:52he's here for anything good.
39:02Relax.
39:03Why so tense?
39:05Mr. Potter,
39:05I owe you an apology.
39:07What Jasper did
39:08to your daughter
39:09was wrong.
39:10And I'm truly sorry.
39:12Forget the engagement.
39:13I heard your restaurant
39:14has a secret sauce
39:15so good it can make
39:17anyone hungry.
39:18Senator Bruce asked me
39:19to bring Young Master Leo
39:20here to try it.
39:21If you can get him to eat,
39:23there'll be a very
39:24generous reward.
39:25If you can't,
39:26then maybe this restaurant
39:27doesn't deserve
39:28to stay in business.
39:29Mr. Potter,
39:30we do have the sauce,
39:31but I've injured
39:32my wrist recently.
39:33And Young Master Leo's
39:34condition is...
39:35So you're saying
39:36you can't meet
39:36a customer's needs?
39:38A restaurant that can't
39:39serve its guests
39:40has no business
39:41staying open.
39:42Perhaps I should recommend
39:43the senator shut
39:44this place down.
39:45No!
39:45Everybody knows
39:46Senator Bruce's son
39:47suffers from severe anorexia.
39:48World-class chefs
39:49have tried and failed
39:50to get him to eat.
39:51The only person
39:52who ever succeeded
39:52was the culinary legend
39:54and the senator
39:55paid a hundred million
39:56dollars for that meal.
39:57You're not here for dinner.
39:58You're here to destroy us.
40:03That's right.
40:04You had the nerve
40:05to drop my daughter.
40:07Now you get to watch
40:08your whole family
40:09lose everything
40:12Vance Restaurant
40:13is unable to serve
40:14its customers.
40:15That's grounds for closure.
40:16Tear it apart.
40:19Stop.
40:24What?
40:25Has Vance Restaurant
40:26fallen so low
40:27that it needs a woman
40:28to fight its battles?
40:30There she goes again.
40:31Always desperate
40:32for attention.
40:35What are you doing?
40:36This is my family's problem,
40:38not yours.
40:40Stay behind me.
40:41No one's ever tried
40:42to protect me before.
40:44You want payback
40:45for your daughter?
40:46Fine.
40:46This is all on me.
40:47Do whatever you want
40:48of me.
40:49Just leave my family
40:49out of it.
40:52Brave little fool.
40:54If you want to go down
40:55first, be my guest.
40:59Nobody lays a hand
41:00on my son.
41:02I will make something
41:03Master Leo enjoys.
41:05Until then,
41:05you don't touch
41:06a single member
41:07of my family
41:08and you don't damage
41:08a single thing
41:09in my restaurant.
41:10They haven't even had
41:11a chance to cook yet.
41:12How can you
41:12shut them down already?
41:14He's not even
41:14trying to hide it.
41:15This is obviously
41:16a setup.
41:17Fine.
41:18But if you fail,
41:19don't blame me
41:20when I shut this place
41:22down on the spot.
41:31Let's see if you've
41:32got anything
41:32that can compete
41:33with the culinary legend.
41:53Please, give it a try.
42:05Oh my God, he ate it!
42:07Master Leo won't even
42:08touch food he doesn't like!
42:10But Chef Rowan
42:11actually got him
42:12to take a bite!
42:14Honey, you did it!
42:19Sage, what is it?
42:21The sauce is good.
42:23But the dish still
42:24isn't reaching
42:24its full potential.
42:25Are you saying
42:26my dish isn't good enough?
42:28Can you stop
42:29pretending you're
42:30some kind of expert?
42:31If there was something
42:32wrong with the dish,
42:33why would Master Leo
42:35eat it?
42:35Do you think
42:36we're all idiots?
42:48That's disgusting!
42:50Why would you
42:50serve me this?
42:51What?
42:53No way!
42:53She was right.
42:54She actually called it.
42:56Ha ha ha ha!
42:57Vance Restaurant
42:58has failed to satisfy
43:00its customer.
43:01Clearly unfit to operate.
43:03As the senator's representative.
43:05I'm shutting this place
43:06down immediately!
43:08Wait!
43:10Who says nobody
43:11in the Vance family
43:12can make something
43:14he'll eat?
43:15You're supposed to be
43:16be some rich heiress.
43:18Since when do rich girls
43:19know how to cook?
43:21Stop making things worse.
43:22Ha!
43:23Rowan,
43:24have you really
43:25run out of options?
43:26You're actually hiding
43:27behind a woman now?
43:29Sage, stop.
43:31Be serious.
43:31You don't know
43:32how to cook.
43:33He doesn't need food.
43:35He needs a taste
43:36that reminds him
43:37what hunger feels like.
43:38A taste
43:39that wakes his appetite
43:40back up.
43:41And there's only one person
43:42in the world
43:43who knows how to do that.
43:45And it's me.
43:49Do you trust me?
43:51There's something about her.
43:52Something that makes
43:53you want to believe.
43:54Fine.
43:55One last chance.
43:57I want a dish
43:58on that table
43:59in ten minutes.
44:00And nobody helps her.
44:01Ten minutes?
44:02It takes five minutes
44:03just to prep the ingredients.
44:05Nobody can make
44:06a proper dish in ten.
44:07You've got one shot.
44:10Of course,
44:11you're welcome
44:11to give up now.
44:12You!
44:14Fine.
44:14But ten minutes
44:16is excessive.
44:17Give me three.
44:19Three minutes?
44:20Sage,
44:20this is no time
44:21for jokes!
44:22You can't even prep
44:23the ingredients
44:23in three minutes!
44:24If she wants
44:25to embarrass herself,
44:26who am I to stop her?
44:27Three minutes it is.
44:28Jasper,
44:29your fiancé
44:30has completely
44:30lost her mind!
44:32Are you sure about this?
44:34Three minutes
44:35isn't enough time.
44:36For someone else,
44:37maybe.
44:37Not for me.
44:44and I won't quit now.
44:46In a world full of followers,
44:49I'll be a leader.
44:50In a world full of followers,
44:53I'll be a believer.
44:54She carries chef's tools
44:56with her everywhere?
44:57I'll sit down with her hesitation.
