00:00:04No, I can't.
00:00:06My family's restaurant is in trouble,
00:00:07and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:00:10But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:00:14So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride
00:00:17and come home with me,
00:00:19just to help me get through the wedding.
00:00:22That's...
00:00:22Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:00:24I'll give you $500 a day.
00:00:26You earn some steady cash, my family calms down.
00:00:29What do you say?
00:00:31Perfect.
00:00:31It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:00:37Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:01:00Wow, you look incredible.
00:01:06So, want a kiss?
00:01:09Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:01:13You can't just start talking like that.
00:01:15Well, we could always make it real.
00:01:21I can't.
00:01:22I already have feelings for someone.
00:01:27It's her.
00:01:28The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:01:32Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on Earth.
00:01:35And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:01:38The one and only culinary legend.
00:01:40She's the woman of my dreams!
00:01:42He's got a crush on me?
00:01:45That's...
00:01:46Unexpectedly adorable.
00:01:49The game now begins!
00:01:51She's in the hands.
00:01:58Oh!
00:02:02One and .
00:02:10One and two.
00:02:12One and three.
00:02:15Two and three.
00:02:20This time he's been brilliant.
00:02:28Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic fifth consecutive World Culinary Championship.
00:02:35The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row.
00:02:57She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality.
00:03:02Boss, the tattered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:03:09For years I've given to others anonymously, but today I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:03:16Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:03:19The first person to offer me food, the first person to offer me food,
00:03:21gets a ten million dollar investment.
00:03:24Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:03:27Wait! Don't go over there!
00:03:29What's wrong babe?
00:03:30That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:03:33If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:03:37Let's take a side street.
00:03:39Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:03:42You know her?
00:03:43She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:03:46Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:03:49I've gotta record this.
00:03:50Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her,
00:03:55it'll screw up my image!
00:03:57Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:04:03Please, could someone...
00:04:04Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:04:26Are you alright?
00:04:32Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:04:35With some filthy hobo?
00:04:37What?
00:04:38You gave my bread to her?!
00:04:40Your bread?
00:04:41I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:04:44Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:04:51She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:04:54Daisy, that's enough!
00:04:55I'm your fiancé, and you're taking some random bum side over me?!
00:05:00If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:05:03Right now.
00:05:05Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:05:07What did you just say?!
00:05:08You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?!
00:05:11Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?!
00:05:14Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:05:16I made this decision a long time ago.
00:05:18Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:05:20You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:05:22My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:05:26Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:05:29You bastard!
00:05:30How dare you?!
00:05:31Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:05:34Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:05:37Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:05:41And let me make this clear.
00:05:42Even if we're struggling, our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:05:49You're gonna regret this!
00:05:54Dad, Jasper just called off our engagement!
00:05:56Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:05:58I want you to strip him of everything!
00:06:08I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:06:10Please, take the money.
00:06:12At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:06:14No, I don't want all that money.
00:06:17Just a burger.
00:06:18Lady, that money could buy ten burgers!
00:06:20I only want one burger.
00:06:22Fresh off the grill.
00:06:24Still hot.
00:06:30Here you go.
00:06:31Hope it's what you wanted.
00:06:39Easy there.
00:06:40Take your time.
00:06:41And please, keep the money.
00:06:43It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:06:46You're a good man.
00:06:48It's nothing.
00:06:49It's nothing.
00:06:50It's genuine.
00:06:53Then let me thank you properly.
00:06:56An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:07:00Covering the entire state?
00:07:02Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:07:05You should take it back.
00:07:06Why would I be joking?
00:07:08My cousin works at Home Group.
00:07:10A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:07:14What?
00:07:14Don't tell me you're actually her?
00:07:16What?
00:07:17You know what?
00:07:17Never mind.
00:07:18If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:07:21Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:07:23Something else?
00:07:23No, that's really not.
00:07:28Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:07:29When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:07:31Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:07:34A situation?
00:07:35Did you two have a fight?
00:07:36Jasper, go make things right.
00:07:38Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:07:40We cannot lose the bride.
00:07:42And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:07:45Do you understand?
00:07:46Don't worry.
00:07:47I'll get you a bride.
00:07:49You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:07:51Yes.
00:07:53Anything.
00:07:54Then give me your hand.
00:08:03If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:08:07Marry you?
00:08:09No, I can't.
00:08:11My family's restaurant is in trouble.
00:08:13And my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:08:15But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:08:19So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride and come home with me.
00:08:24Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:08:27That's...
00:08:27Don't worry.
00:08:28I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:08:29I'll give you $500 a day.
00:08:31You earn some steady cash.
00:08:33My family calms down.
00:08:34What do you say?
00:08:36Perfect.
00:08:36It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:08:42All right.
00:08:43You've got yourself a deal.
00:08:44All right.
00:09:06You've got yourself a deal.
00:09:11So...
00:09:12Wanna kiss?
00:09:14Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:09:18You can't just start talking like that.
00:09:20Well, we could always make it real.
00:09:26I can't.
00:09:27I already have feelings for someone.
00:09:32It's her.
00:09:33The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:09:37Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on earth.
00:09:40And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:09:43The one and only culinary legend.
00:09:45She's the woman of my dreams!
00:09:48He's got a crush on me?
00:09:50That's...
00:09:51Unexpectedly adorable.
00:09:53So don't get any ideas.
00:09:56Maintain a safe distance.
00:09:57Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:10:02Relax.
00:10:03You're not my type.
00:10:05Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:10:07Impossible.
00:10:08My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:10:14Stay here.
00:10:14I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:10:17It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:10:22Put together a gift package worth 50 million dollars.
00:10:25Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:10:30Right away, boss.
00:10:35Remember, if my parents ask what your family does,
00:10:39tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:10:42Annual revenue?
00:10:43Let's see.
00:10:45Daisy's family makes about 5 million a year.
00:10:48So tell them yours makes 10.
00:10:50And you're okay with lying to them?
00:10:53My family's desperate for investment.
00:10:55The only way they'll accept a last minute replacement fiancé
00:10:58is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:11:01But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:11:03Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:11:07It'll work out.
00:11:09My idol always says.
00:11:11The only strength that matters is your own.
00:11:14I've spent years building my startup.
00:11:16One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:11:20build a world-class restaurant,
00:11:22and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:11:32Is Jasper back yet?
00:11:34Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:11:41Mom, how can you say that?
00:11:42Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:11:46Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:11:49That's something to celebrate.
00:11:51Exactly.
00:11:52Jasper's 29.
00:11:53It's time he settled down.
00:11:55And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:11:59Daisy, Cyra's daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:12:02It's a good match.
00:12:03He's hardly suffering.
00:12:05What's so special about that rich girl?
00:12:08I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:12:12Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:12:20Wait, why isn't Daisy with you?
00:12:22Who is that?
00:12:26Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
00:12:30Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:12:33I don't love Daisy.
00:12:35Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:12:37And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:12:40Have you lost your mind?
00:12:42Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:12:44Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:12:47If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight!
00:12:51Enough!
00:12:53We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:12:56The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:12:59Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:13:02Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:13:06Where are you from?
00:13:08How many people are in your family?
00:13:10What do your parents do?
00:13:11And how much money do they make?
00:13:12We're from Houston.
00:13:14I'm an only child.
00:13:14My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels and my mother is a homemaker.
00:13:19Annual family income, $10 million.
00:13:23$10 million a year?
00:13:24Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here and they only make five.
00:13:28This fiancé's the real deal.
00:13:29Well, isn't that wonderful?
00:13:31A restaurant family just like ours!
00:13:33I knew I liked you the moment I saw you!
00:13:36Called it.
00:13:42Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:13:44It's your wedding day.
00:13:46Why aren't they here?
00:13:48My parents are overseas on business.
00:13:50They couldn't get away.
00:13:51Right.
00:13:52Sage's parents are pretty hands-off.
00:13:53She makes her own decisions.
00:13:54As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:13:57That's true.
00:13:58Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:14:01Jasper, this was a reckless stunt.
00:14:03Next time, you talk to us first.
00:14:05Understood?
00:14:06Well then, let's not waste any more time.
00:14:08The ceremony's about to start.
00:14:09Come with me.
00:14:10I'll get you ready.
00:14:12Hold on!
00:14:14Elena!
00:14:15She's lying.
00:14:16Every word of it.
00:14:19Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:14:21Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:14:24But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:14:28Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:14:31Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
00:14:32I saw her with my own eyes this morning coming out of some rundown hotel.
00:14:36She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:14:47What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:14:50Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:14:53Jasper, care to explain?
00:14:55If her family owns hotels,
00:14:57why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
00:15:01Jasper's been conned.
00:15:02She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant
00:15:05and decided to scam her way into your lives.
00:15:08That's not true!
00:15:09Sage isn't a scammer!
00:15:11She was there because...
00:15:12Because...
00:15:14My family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands.
00:15:18We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:15:21Hotels on private islands?
00:15:23How luxurious is that?
00:15:26Nothing extravagant.
00:15:27Just over 500 properties worldwide.
00:15:29The brand is called Home.
00:15:30If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
00:15:33Home?
00:15:34That's the culinary legends company.
00:15:36Are you trying to get me killed?
00:15:38I told you to pretend to be rich,
00:15:40not pretend to be the culinary legend.
00:15:42What?
00:15:42See?
00:15:43I told you!
00:15:44She's a fraud!
00:15:46Home was founded by the culinary legend herself,
00:15:48and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
00:15:52That's unbelievable.
00:15:53Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:15:55What a fraud.
00:15:56Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
00:15:59Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:16:02No.
00:16:03I'm not.
00:16:03Jasper, the truth.
00:16:05Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:16:09Mom, Dad, her family really is in the hotel business.
00:16:12Just not home.
00:16:14She was joking, that's all.
00:16:15Just making a joke.
00:16:16Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:16:19Let us do it today.
00:16:20Right here, with you watching.
00:16:22Wait!
00:16:23We're not done here.
00:16:24Mia, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:16:26Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:16:27Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble.
00:16:29I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being lied to.
00:16:32Mia, what are you saying?
00:16:33Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange?
00:16:35For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
00:16:38He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:16:42So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:16:47Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:16:53No way, that's insane.
00:16:55That can't be true. Jasper would never lie to me.
00:16:59Jasper, answer me.
00:17:00Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:17:04Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
00:17:07Am I?
00:17:08Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:17:11Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:17:14No chemistry. No affection.
00:17:16They don't look like two people about to get married.
00:17:18Because it's all fake!
00:17:22Oh, you want affection? Fine. We'll give you affection.
00:17:26Here, sweetheart. Have something sweet and let me steal a taste.
00:17:51Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:17:53I told you, my grandson would never lie to me. Look at them. They're perfect together.
00:17:59You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
00:18:05Happy now? How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
00:18:10Mr. Vance!
00:18:12Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
00:18:15That's Cyrus Potter. Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
00:18:19And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
00:18:22Jasper just dumped his daughter. There's no way he's here for anything good.
00:18:34Relax. Why so tense?
00:18:37Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology. What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong. And I'm truly sorry.
00:18:43Forget the engagement. I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce. So good it can make anyone hungry.
00:18:50Senator Bruce asked me to bring young master Leo here to try it. If you can get him to eat,
00:18:55there'll be a very generous reward.
00:18:57If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
00:19:01Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce. But I've injured my wrist recently. And young master Leo's condition is-
00:19:07So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs? A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying
00:19:12open.
00:19:14Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
00:19:16No.
00:19:16Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia. World class chefs have tried and failed to get him to
00:19:22eat.
00:19:22The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that
00:19:28meal.
00:19:28You're not here for dinner. You're here to destroy us.
00:19:34That's right. You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
00:19:38Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
00:19:43Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers. That's grounds for closure. Tear it apart.
00:19:50Stop.
00:19:56What? Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:20:01There she goes again. Always desperate for attention.
00:20:06What are you doing? This is my family's problem, not yours.
00:20:11Stay behind me.
00:20:13No one's ever tried to protect me before.
00:20:16You want payback for your daughter? Fine. This is all on me. Do whatever you want of me. Just leave
00:20:20my family out of it.
00:20:23Brave little fool. If you want to go down first, be my guest.
00:20:31Nobody lays a hand on my son. I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
00:20:36Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
00:20:40restaurant.
00:20:41They haven't even had a chance to cook yet. How can you shut them down already?
00:20:45He's not even trying to hide it. This is obviously a setup.
00:20:48Fine. But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
00:21:02Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
00:21:23Please, give it a try.
00:21:35Oh my god, he ate it! Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like, but Chef Rowan actually got
00:21:42him to take a bite!
00:21:44Honey, you did it!
00:21:49Sage, what is it?
00:21:50The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
00:21:55Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:21:58Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:22:01If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it?
00:22:05Do you think we're all idiots?
00:22:17That's disgusting! Why would you serve me this?
00:22:21What? No way!
00:22:24She was right. She actually called it.
00:22:27Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer.
00:22:31Clearly unfit to operate.
00:22:33As the senator's representative.
00:22:35I'm shutting this place down immediately!
00:22:38Wait!
00:22:40Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
00:22:44What?
00:22:45You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
00:22:48Since when do rich girls know how to cook?
00:22:51Stop making things worse.
00:22:52Ha!
00:22:53Rowan, have you really run out of options?
00:22:56You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:22:59Sage, stop.
00:23:00Be serious.
00:23:01You don't know how to cook.
00:23:03He doesn't need food.
00:23:04He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
00:23:08A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
00:23:10And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
00:23:14And it's me.
00:23:18Do you trust me?
00:23:20There's something about her.
00:23:21Something that makes you want to believe.
00:23:23Fine.
00:23:25One last chance.
00:23:26I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
00:23:29And nobody helps her.
00:23:30Ten minutes?
00:23:31It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
00:23:34Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
00:23:36You've got one shot.
00:23:38Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
00:23:41You!
00:23:43Fine.
00:23:43But ten minutes is excessive.
00:23:45Give me three.
00:23:47Three minutes?
00:23:48Sage, this is no time for jokes!
00:23:50You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
00:23:53If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
00:23:56Three minutes it is.
00:23:57Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
00:24:00Are you sure about this?
00:24:02Three minutes isn't enough time.
00:24:04For someone else, maybe.
00:24:06Not for me.
00:24:22She carries chef's tools with her everywhere?
00:24:32Go ahead, let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
00:24:38Go show them what you've got.
00:24:40Go show them what you've got.
00:24:43Go show them what you've got.
00:24:58How far along is she?
00:25:00Why is it so quiet?
00:25:01Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
00:25:17Thirty seconds.
00:25:18That's all you've got left.
00:25:20Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:25:22Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:25:25That's not what I meant.
00:25:35What is that smell?
00:25:37I've never smelled anything like it before!
00:25:40Oh my god.
00:25:41I'm actually drooling.
00:25:43She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
00:25:45Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
00:25:48This is the pinnacle of the craft.
00:25:50The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
00:25:53Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
00:25:57Ten seconds!
00:25:59If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
00:26:10Please, enjoy.
00:26:19That's impossible!
00:26:32The game now begins!
00:26:35The game now begins!
00:27:09Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic fifth consecutive World Culinary Championship!
00:27:15The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row!
00:27:26And today, the home group the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded, has officially been ranked number one in
00:27:35the world!
00:27:36She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality!
00:27:40Boss, the tattered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:27:47For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:27:50But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:27:53Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:27:56The first person to offer me food gets a $10 million investment.
00:28:00Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:28:03Wait! Don't go over there!
00:28:05What's wrong, babe?
00:28:06That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:28:09If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:28:13Let's take a side street.
00:28:14Wait, you mean Sage?
00:28:16That's really her?
00:28:17You know her?
00:28:18She's my ex.
00:28:19We broke up when she left town for work.
00:28:21Wow.
00:28:22I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:28:23I've gotta record this.
00:28:24Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her,
00:28:30it'll screw up my image!
00:28:31Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:28:36Please, could someone...
00:28:38Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:28:58Are you alright?
00:29:04Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:29:06With some filthy hobo?
00:29:09You gave my bread to her?!
00:29:11Your bread?
00:29:12I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:29:15Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:29:22She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:29:24Daisy, that's enough!
00:29:25I'm your fiancé, and you're taking some random bum side over me?!
00:29:29If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:29:32Right now.
00:29:34Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:29:36What did you just say?!
00:29:37You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?!
00:29:40Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?!
00:29:42Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:29:44I made this decision a long time ago.
00:29:46Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:29:49You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:29:51My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:29:53Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:29:56You bastard! How dare you?!
00:29:59Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:30:01Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:30:04Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:30:07And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling, our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:30:15You're gonna regret this!
00:30:19Dad! Jasper just called off our engagement! Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:30:23I want you to strip him of everything!
00:30:33I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:30:35Please, take the money.
00:30:36At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:30:38No, I don't want all that money.
00:30:41Just a burger.
00:30:42Lady! That money could buy ten burgers!
00:30:44I only want one burger.
00:30:46Fresh off the grill.
00:30:47Still hot.
00:30:53Here you go.
00:30:54Hope it's what you wanted.
00:31:01Easy there. Take your time.
00:31:03And please, keep the money.
00:31:05It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:31:08You're a good man.
00:31:10It's nothing.
00:31:11His kindness.
00:31:12It's genuine.
00:31:14Then let me thank you properly.
00:31:17An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:31:21Covering the entire state?
00:31:23Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:31:25You should take it back.
00:31:27Why would I be joking?
00:31:28My cousin works at Home Group.
00:31:30A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:31:34What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:31:36You know what, never mind.
00:31:38If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:31:40Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:31:42Something else? No, that's really not...
00:31:47Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:31:48When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:31:50Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:31:53A situation? Did you two have a fight?
00:31:55Jasper, go make things right.
00:31:56Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:31:58We cannot lose the bride.
00:31:59And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:32:03Do you understand?
00:32:04Don't worry, I'll get you a bride.
00:32:06You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:32:08Yes. Anything.
00:32:11Then give me your hand.
00:32:19If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:32:23Marry you?!
00:32:25No, I can't.
00:32:26My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:32:31But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:32:34So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride, and come home with me.
00:32:38Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:32:41That's...
00:32:42Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:32:44I'll give you $500 a day.
00:32:46You earn some steady cash, my family calms down.
00:32:48What do you say?
00:32:49Perfect.
00:32:50It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:32:55Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:33:16Wow, you look incredible.
00:33:22So...
00:33:23Wanna kiss?
00:33:25Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:33:29You can't just start talking like that.
00:33:31Well, we could always make it real.
00:33:32No.
00:33:36I can't.
00:33:37I already have feelings for someone.
00:33:41It's her.
00:33:43The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:33:46Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on earth.
00:33:49And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:33:52The one and only culinary legend.
00:33:54She's the woman of my dreams!
00:33:56He's got a crush on me?
00:33:59That's...
00:33:59Unexpectedly adorable.
00:34:02So don't get any ideas.
00:34:04Maintain a safe distance.
00:34:05Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:34:10Relax.
00:34:11You're not my type.
00:34:12Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:34:14Impossible.
00:34:15My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:34:20Stay here.
00:34:21I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:34:24It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:34:28Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:34:31Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under home group's name.
00:34:35Right away, boss.
00:34:40Remember, if my parents ask what your family does, tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:34:47Annual revenue, let's see.
00:34:50Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year, so tell them yours makes $10.
00:34:54And you're okay with lying to them?
00:34:57My family's desperate for investment.
00:34:59The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:35:04But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:35:06Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:35:10It'll work out.
00:35:11My idol always says,
00:35:13The only strength that matters is your own.
00:35:16I've spent years building my startup.
00:35:19One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
00:35:22build a world-class restaurant, and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:35:33Is Jasper back yet?
00:35:35Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:35:41Mom, how can you say that?
00:35:43Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:35:46Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:35:49That's something to celebrate.
00:35:51Exactly. Jasper's 29. It's time he's settled down.
00:35:54And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:35:58Daisy Cyrus' daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:36:01It's a good match. He's hardly suffering.
00:36:04What's so special about that rich girl?
00:36:06I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:36:10Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:36:17Wait, why isn't Daisy with you?
00:36:20Who is that?
00:36:23Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
00:36:27Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:36:30I don't love Daisy.
00:36:31Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:36:33And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:36:36Have you lost your mind?
00:36:38Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:36:40Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:36:43If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight.
00:36:46Enough.
00:36:48We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:36:51The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:36:54Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:36:57Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:37:00Where are you from? How many people are in your family?
00:37:03What do your parents do? And how much money do they make?
00:37:06We're from Houston. I'm an only child.
00:37:08My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
00:37:12Annual family income, $10 million.
00:37:16$10 million a year?
00:37:17Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here and they only make five.
00:37:20This fiance is the real deal.
00:37:22Well, isn't that wonderful? A restaurant family just like ours!
00:37:25I knew I liked you the moment I saw you.
00:37:28Called it.
00:37:34Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:37:36It's your wedding day. Why aren't they here?
00:37:39My parents are overseas on business. They couldn't get away.
00:37:42Right. Sage's parents are pretty hands-off. She makes her own decisions.
00:37:45As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:37:47That's true. Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:37:51Jasper, this was a reckless stunt. Next time, you talk to us first. Understood?
00:37:56Well then, let's not waste any more time. The ceremony's about to start. Come with me, I'll get you ready.
00:38:02Hold on! Elena! She's lying. Every word of it.
00:38:08Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:38:10Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:38:13But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:38:16Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:38:19Aunt Elena, I'm serious. I saw her with my own eyes this morning, coming out of some rundown hotel.
00:38:24She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:38:34What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:38:37Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:38:39Jasper, care to explain?
00:38:41If her family owns hotels, why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
00:38:47Jasper's been conned. She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant
00:38:51and decided to scam her way into your lives.
00:38:54That's not true! Sage isn't a scammer. She was there because... because...
00:38:58Because my family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands.
00:39:03We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:39:06Hotels on private islands? How luxurious is that?
00:39:10Nothing extravagant. Just over 500 properties worldwide.
00:39:13The brand is called Home. If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
00:39:17Home? That's the culinary legends company.
00:39:20Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the
00:39:24culinary legend.
00:39:25See? I told you! She's a fraud!
00:39:28Home was founded by the culinary legend herself, and this woman is actually claiming it belongs to her family!
00:39:34It's unbelievable. Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:39:37What a fraud. Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
00:39:41Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:39:43No, I'm... I'm not.
00:39:45Jasper, the truth. Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:39:50Mom, Dad, her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
00:39:54She was joking, that's all. Just making a joke.
00:39:56Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:39:59Let us do it today. Right here, with you watching.
00:40:02Wait! We're not done here.
00:40:04Mia, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:40:07Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being
00:40:10lied to.
00:40:11Mia, what are you saying?
00:40:12Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange? For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
00:40:16He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:40:20So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:40:25Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride, just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:40:30No way, that's insane.
00:40:33That can't be true. Jasper would never lie to me.
00:40:36Jasper, answer me. Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:40:41Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
00:40:44Am I? Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:40:47Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:40:50No chemistry, no affection. They don't look like two people about to get married.
00:40:54Because it's all fake!
00:40:57Oh, you want affection? Fine. We'll give you affection.
00:41:02Here, sweetheart. Have something sweet. Let me steal a taste.
00:41:24Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:41:26I told you, my grandson would never lie to me. Look at them. They're perfect together.
00:41:32You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
00:41:37Happy now? How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
00:41:42Mr. Vance! Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
00:41:46That's Cyrus Potter. Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
00:41:50And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
00:41:53Jasper just dumped his daughter. There's no way he's here for anything good.
00:42:05Relax. Why so tense?
00:42:07Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology. What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong. And I'm truly sorry.
00:42:13Forget the engagement. I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
00:42:17So good it can make anyone hungry.
00:42:19Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
00:42:22If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
00:42:26If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
00:42:30Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce. But I've injured my wrist recently.
00:42:33And young Master Leo's condition is...
00:42:35So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
00:42:37A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
00:42:41Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
00:42:43No! Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
00:42:47World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
00:42:49The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend,
00:42:52and the Senator paid $100 million for that meal.
00:42:55You're not here for dinner. You're here to destroy us.
00:43:00That's right. You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
00:43:03Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
00:43:08Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
00:43:11That's grounds for closure. Tear it apart.
00:43:15Stop.
00:43:20What? Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:43:26There she goes again. Always desperate for attention.
00:43:30What are you doing?
00:43:31This is my family's problem, not yours.
00:43:35Stay behind me.
00:43:36No one's ever tried to protect me before.
00:43:39You want payback for your daughter? Fine. This is all on me.
00:43:42Do whatever you want of me. Just leave my family out of it.
00:43:45Brave little fool.
00:43:48If you want to go down first, be my guest.
00:43:52Nobody lays a hand on my son.
00:43:55I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
00:43:57Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
00:44:01restaurant.
00:44:02They haven't even had a chance to cook yet. How can you shut them down already?
00:44:05He's not even trying to hide it. This is obviously a setup.
00:44:08Fine. But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
00:44:21Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
00:44:41Please, give it a try.
00:44:52Oh my god, he ate it! Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like, but Chef Rowan actually got
00:44:59him to take a bite!
00:45:00Honey, you did it!
00:45:05Sage, what is it?
00:45:06The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
00:45:11Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:45:13Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:45:16If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it?
00:45:20Do you think we're all idiots?
00:45:31That's disgusting! Why would you serve me this?
00:45:35What? No way!
00:45:37She was right. She actually called it.
00:45:40Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer. Clearly unfit to operate.
00:45:46As the senator's representative.
00:45:48I'm shutting this place down immediately!
00:45:51Wait!
00:45:53Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
00:45:57You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
00:45:59Since when do rich girls know how to cook? Stop making things worse.
00:46:04Ha! Rowan, have you really run out of options?
00:46:07You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:46:10Sage, stop. Be serious. You don't know how to cook.
00:46:14He doesn't need food. He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
00:46:18A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
00:46:21And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
00:46:24And it's me.
00:46:28Do you trust me?
00:46:29There's something about her. Something that makes you want to believe.
00:46:32Fine. One last chance. I want a dish on that table in ten minutes. And nobody helps her.
00:46:39Ten minutes? It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients. Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
00:46:44You've got one shot. Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
00:46:49You!
00:46:50Fine. But ten minutes is excessive. Give me three.
00:46:55Three minutes? Sage, this is no time for jokes! You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
00:47:00If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her? Three minutes it is.
00:47:04Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
00:47:07Are you sure about this? Three minutes isn't enough time.
00:47:10For someone else, maybe. Not for me.
00:47:27She carries shuttles with her everywhere?
00:47:36Go ahead. Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
00:47:42Go show them what you've got.
00:48:01How far along is she? Why is it so quiet?
00:48:03Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
00:48:1830 seconds. That's all you've got left.
00:48:21Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:48:23Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:48:26That's not what I meant.
00:48:35What is that smell? I've never smelled anything like it before.
00:48:39Oh my god. I'm actually drooling.
00:48:42She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
00:48:44Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
00:48:47This is the pinnacle of the craft.
00:48:48The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
00:48:51Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
00:48:5510 seconds!
00:48:57If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
00:49:08Please, enjoy.
00:49:15That's impossible!
00:49:29The game now begins!
00:49:59No 벌!
00:50:01But you don't have enough time to win!
00:50:13Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic fifth
00:50:17consecutive World Culinary Championship.
00:50:21The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row.
00:50:35And today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded,
00:50:41has officially been ranked number one in the world.
00:50:46She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality.
00:50:52Boss, the tattered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:51:00For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:51:03But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:51:07Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:51:11The first person to offer me food gets a $10 million investment.
00:51:16Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:51:20Wait!
00:51:21Don't go over there!
00:51:22What's wrong, babe?
00:51:23That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:51:27If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:51:31Let's take a side of street.
00:51:33Wait!
00:51:34You mean Sage?
00:51:35That's really her?
00:51:37You know her?
00:51:38She's my ex.
00:51:39We broke up when she left town for work.
00:51:42Wow.
00:51:42I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:51:44Wait!
00:51:44I've gotta record this.
00:51:46Come on!
00:51:47If people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her, it'll
00:51:52screw up my image!
00:51:54Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:52:00Please, could someone-
00:52:02Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:52:26Are you alright?
00:52:33Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:52:37With some filthy hobo?
00:52:40You gave my bread to her?!
00:52:42Your bread?
00:52:43I bought it.
00:52:45And you said you didn't want it.
00:52:48Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:52:56She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:52:59Daisy, that's enough!
00:53:00I'm your fiancé and you're taking some random bum side over me?!
00:53:05Daisy?!
00:53:06If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:53:09Right now.
00:53:11Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:53:13What did you just say?!
00:53:15You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?!
00:53:18Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?!
00:53:21Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:53:23I made this decision a long time ago.
00:53:25Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:53:28You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:53:31My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:53:34Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:53:38You bastard!
00:53:40How dare you?!
00:53:41Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:53:44Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:53:47Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:53:52And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling,
00:53:55our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:54:01You're gonna regret this!
00:54:06Dad!
00:54:07Jasper just called off our engagement!
00:54:09Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:54:11I want you to strip him of everything!
00:54:23I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:54:25Please, take the money.
00:54:27At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:54:28No, I don't want all that money.
00:54:32Just a burger.
00:54:34Lady!
00:54:34That money could buy ten burgers!
00:54:36I only want one burger.
00:54:39Fresh off the grill.
00:54:40Still hot.
00:54:47Here you go.
00:54:48Hope it's what you wanted.
00:54:58Easy there.
00:54:59Take your time.
00:55:00And please, keep the money.
00:55:02It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:55:06You're a good man.
00:55:08It's nothing.
00:55:09It's nothing.
00:55:09His kindness.
00:55:10It's genuine.
00:55:13Then let me thank you properly.
00:55:16An exclusive $10 billion investment contract from Home Group?
00:55:21Covering the entire state?
00:55:24Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:55:27You should take it back.
00:55:29Why would I be joking?
00:55:30My cousin works at Home Group.
00:55:32A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:55:37What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:55:39Well, I...
00:55:40You know what?
00:55:41Never mind.
00:55:42If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:55:45Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:55:47Something else?
00:55:48No, that's really not...
00:55:53Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:55:55When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:55:57Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:56:00A situation?
00:56:01Did you two have a fight?
00:56:03Jasper, go make things right.
00:56:04Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:56:07We cannot lose the bride.
00:56:08And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:56:12Do you understand?
00:56:14Don't worry.
00:56:15I'll get you a bride.
00:56:16You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:21Anything.
00:56:22Then give me your hand.
00:56:33If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:56:38Marry you?
00:56:40No, I can't.
00:56:41My family's restaurant is in trouble.
00:56:44And my parents are hoping a marriage will bring in investors.
00:56:46But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:56:51So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride.
00:56:55And come home with me.
00:56:56Just to help me get through the wedding.
00:56:59That's...
00:57:00Don't worry.
00:57:01I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:57:02I'll give you $500 a day.
00:57:05You earn some steady cash.
00:57:06My family calms down.
00:57:08What do you say?
00:57:10Perfect.
00:57:11It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:57:17Alright.
00:57:18You've got yourself a deal.
00:57:42Wow.
00:57:44You look incredible.
00:57:49So...
00:57:51Wanna kiss?
00:57:53Whoa.
00:57:54We're not even real husband and wife.
00:57:58You can't just start talking like that.
00:58:00Well, we could always make it real.
00:58:06I can't.
00:58:08I already have feelings for someone.
00:58:13It's her.
00:58:14The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:58:19Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on earth.
00:58:22And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:58:26The one and only culinary legend.
00:58:29She's the woman of my dreams!
00:58:31He's got a crush on me?
00:58:34That's...
00:58:35Unexpectedly adorable.
00:58:38So don't get any ideas.
00:58:40Maintain a safe distance.
00:58:42Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:58:47Relax.
00:58:49You're not my type.
00:58:50Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:58:53Impossible.
00:58:55My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:59:01Stay here.
00:59:02I'm gonna grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:59:05It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:59:10Put together a gift package worth 50 million dollars.
00:59:14Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under home group's name.
00:59:19Right away, boss.
00:59:25Remember, if my parents ask what your family does,
00:59:29tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:59:33Annual revenue...
00:59:34Let's see...
00:59:36Daisy's family makes about 5 million a year.
00:59:40So tell them yours makes 10.
00:59:42And you're okay with lying to them?
00:59:45My family's desperate for investment.
00:59:48The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancé
00:59:51is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:59:54But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:59:56Your restaurant is still in trouble.
01:00:01It'll work out.
01:00:03My idol always says,
01:00:06The only strength that matters is your own.
01:00:09I've spent years building my startup.
01:00:12One day I'll solve my family's problems myself,
01:00:16build a world-class restaurant,
01:00:18and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
01:00:29Is Jasper back yet?
01:00:32Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy
01:00:36just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
01:00:39Mom, how can you say that?
01:00:41Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
01:00:45Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
01:00:50That's something to celebrate.
01:00:52Exactly. Jasper's 29.
01:00:54It's time he's settled down.
01:00:55And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
01:01:00Daisy Syrah's daughter, the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
01:01:04It's a good match.
01:01:05He's hardly suffering.
01:01:07What's so special about that rich girl?
01:01:10I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
01:01:15Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
01:01:23Wait, why isn't Daisy with you?
01:01:27Who is that?
01:01:31Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Where's Daisy?
01:01:35Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
01:01:39I don't love Daisy.
01:01:41Sage is the woman I want to marry.
01:01:43And today, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
01:01:46Have you lost your mind?
01:01:48Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
01:01:51Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
01:01:55If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight!
01:01:59Enough!
01:02:01We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go. The least we can do is hear
01:02:07the boy out.
01:02:08Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
01:02:12Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
01:02:16Where are you from?
01:02:18How many people are in your family?
01:02:20What do your parents do?
01:02:22And how much money do they make?
01:02:23We're from Houston.
01:02:25I'm an only child.
01:02:26My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
01:02:31Annual family income, $10 million.
01:02:35$10 million a year?
01:02:37Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here, and they only make five.
01:02:41This fiance is the real deal.
01:02:43Well, isn't that wonderful? A restaurant family just like ours!
01:02:47I knew I liked you the moment I saw you.
01:02:50Called it.
01:02:57Sweetheart, where are your parents? It's your wedding day. Why aren't they here?
01:03:04My parents are overseas on business. They couldn't get away.
01:03:07Right. Sage's parents are pretty hands-off. She makes her own decisions.
01:03:11As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
01:03:14That's true. Wealthy families are different about those things.
01:03:19Jasper, this was a reckless stunt. Next time, you talk to us first. Understood?
01:03:24Well then, let's not waste any more time. The ceremony's about to start.
01:03:28Come with me. I'll get you ready.
01:03:31Hold on!
01:03:33Elena! She's lying. Every word of it.
01:03:38Mia, why would you say something like that?
01:03:41Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
01:03:45But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
01:03:49Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
01:03:52Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
01:03:54I saw her with my own eyes this morning coming out of some rundown hotel.
01:03:59She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
01:04:11What kind of rich iras stays in a motel?
01:04:14Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
01:04:17Jasper, care to explain?
01:04:20If her family owns hotels, why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
01:04:26Jasper's been conned. She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant and decided to scam
01:04:33her way into your lives.
01:04:34That's not true! Sage isn't a scammer! She was there because... because...
01:04:41Because... my family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands. We don't operate properties on the mainland.
01:04:49Hotels on private islands? How luxurious is that?
01:04:54Nothing extravagant. Just over 500 properties worldwide. The brand is called Home. If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards
01:05:02for everyone.
01:05:03Home? That's the culinary legends company.
01:05:06Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the
01:05:12culinary legend.
01:05:13See? I told you! She's a fraud! Home was founded by the culinary legend herself, and this woman is actually
01:05:22claiming it belongs to her family!
01:05:24That's unbelievable. Who tells lies that ridiculous?
01:05:28What a fraud. Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
01:05:32Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
01:05:35No, I'm not. Jasper, the truth. Right now, who exactly is this woman?
01:05:43Mom, Dad. Her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
01:05:49She was joking, that's all. Just making a joke.
01:05:52Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
01:05:54Let us do it today. Right here, with you watching.
01:05:59Wait! We're not done here.
01:06:00Mia, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
01:06:04Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being
01:06:08lied to.
01:06:09Mia, what are you saying?
01:06:10Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange? For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
01:06:16He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
01:06:21So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
01:06:27Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride just to get out of this marriage, did you?
01:06:33No way. That's insane.
01:06:36That can't be true.
01:06:38Jasper would never lie to me.
01:06:40Jasper, answer me.
01:06:41Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
01:06:46Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her. Stop making things up.
01:06:49Am I?
01:06:49Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
01:06:54Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
01:06:57No chemistry. No affection.
01:07:00They don't look like two people about to get married.
01:07:02Because it's all fake!
01:07:06Oh, you want affection? Fine. We'll give you affection.
01:07:11Here, sweetheart.
01:07:13Have something sweet.
01:07:15Let me steal a taste.
01:07:39Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
01:07:41I told you my grandson would never lie to me.
01:07:45Look at them. They're perfect together.
01:07:48You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
01:07:55Happy now?
01:07:56How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
01:08:00Mr. Vance!
01:08:03Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
01:08:06That's Cyrus Potter.
01:08:07Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
01:08:10And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
01:08:14Jasper just dumped his daughter.
01:08:16There's no way he's here for anything good.
01:08:28Relax. Why so tense?
01:08:31Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology.
01:08:34What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong.
01:08:37And I'm truly sorry.
01:08:39Forget the engagement.
01:08:41I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
01:08:44So good it can make anyone hungry.
01:08:46Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
01:08:50If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
01:08:54If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
01:08:59Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce.
01:09:01But I've injured my wrist recently.
01:09:02And young Master Leo's condition is-
01:09:05So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
01:09:08A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
01:09:13Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
01:09:16No!
01:09:16Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
01:09:20World class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
01:09:23The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that
01:09:29meal.
01:09:29No, you're not here for dinner. You're here to destroy us.
01:09:36That's right. You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
01:09:40Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
01:09:46Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
01:09:49That's grounds for closure. Tear it apart.
01:09:54Stop.
01:10:01What?
01:10:02Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
01:10:07There she goes again.
01:10:09Always desperate for attention.
01:10:13What are you doing?
01:10:14This is my family's problem, not yours.
01:10:18Stay behind me.
01:10:20No one's ever tried to protect me before.
01:10:23You want payback for your daughter? Fine.
01:10:25This is all on me. Do whatever you want of me.
01:10:28Just leave my family out of it.
01:10:31Brave little fool.
01:10:34If you want to go down first, be my guest.
01:10:40Nobody lays a hand on my son.
01:10:43I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
01:10:46Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
01:10:51restaurant.
01:10:52They haven't even had a chance to cook yet. How can you shut them down already?
01:10:56He's not even trying to hide it. This is obviously a setup.
01:10:59Fine. But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
01:11:15Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with a culinary legend.
01:11:33Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with a culinary legend.
01:11:40Please, give it a try.
01:11:53Oh my god, he ate it! Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like, but Chef Rowan actually got
01:12:01him to take a bite!
01:12:03Honey, you did it!
01:12:08Sage, what is it?
01:12:10The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
01:12:16Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
01:12:19Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
01:12:22If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it? Do you think we're all idiots?
01:12:41That's disgusting! Why would you serve me this?
01:12:46What? No way!
01:12:48She was right. She actually called it.
01:12:52Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer. Clearly unfit to operate.
01:12:59As the senator's representative.
01:13:01I'm shutting this place down immediately!
01:13:04Wait!
01:13:07Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
01:13:12You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
01:13:15Since when do rich girls know how to cook? Stop making things worse.
01:13:20Ha! Rowan, have you really run out of options?
01:13:24You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
01:13:28Sage, stop.
01:13:29Be serious. You don't know how to cook.
01:13:33He doesn't need food. He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
01:13:38A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
01:13:41And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
01:13:45And it's me.
01:13:50Do you trust me?
01:13:52There's something about her. Something that makes you want to believe.
01:13:55Fine. One last chance.
01:13:59I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
01:14:02And nobody helps her.
01:14:04Ten minutes?
01:14:04It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
01:14:08Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
01:14:10You've got one shot.
01:14:13Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
01:14:16You!
01:14:17Fine. But ten minutes is excessive.
01:14:21Give me three.
01:14:23Three minutes?
01:14:24Sage, this is no time for jokes!
01:14:26You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
01:14:29If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
01:14:32Three minutes it is.
01:14:34Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind!
01:14:38Are you sure about this?
01:14:40Three minutes isn't enough time.
01:14:42For someone else, maybe. Not for me.
01:14:44One!
01:14:51One!
01:14:57Two!
01:15:01Two!
01:15:05Two!
01:15:06One!
01:15:08Two!
01:15:13Go ahead. Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
01:15:21Go show them what you've got.
01:15:43How far along is she? Why is it so quiet?
01:15:47Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
01:16:0530 seconds. That's all you've got left.
01:16:08Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it.
01:16:10Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
01:16:14That's not what I meant.
01:16:25What is that smell? I've never smelled anything like it before.
01:16:30Oh my God. I'm actually drooling.
01:16:34She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
01:16:37Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
01:16:39This is the pinnacle of the craft.
01:16:42The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
01:16:45Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
01:16:5010 seconds.
01:16:52If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down.
01:17:05Please, enjoy.
01:17:14That's impossible.
01:17:16That's impossible.
01:17:17That's impossible.
