00:00:00The game now begins!
00:00:40Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic 5th consecutive World Culinary Championship!
00:00:47The only chef ever to claim the title 5 years in a row!
00:01:00And today, the home group the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded has officially been ranked number one in
00:01:09the world!
00:01:10She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality!
00:01:15Boss, the tethered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:01:22For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:01:25But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character.
00:01:29Someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:01:32The first person to offer me food gets a 10 million dollar investment.
00:01:37Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:01:40Wait! Don't go over there!
00:01:42What's wrong babe?
00:01:43That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:01:47If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:01:51Let's take a side street.
00:01:52Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:01:55You know her?
00:01:56She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:02:00Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:02:02I've gotta record this.
00:02:04Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her,
00:02:09it'll screw up my image!
00:02:11Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:02:17Please, could someone...
00:02:18Is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:02:21The nextbie....
00:02:40Is there any?
00:02:47Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:02:50With some filthy hobo?
00:02:52You gave my bread to her?
00:02:55Your bread?
00:02:56I bought it, and you said you didn't want it.
00:02:59Even if I don't want it, it shouldn't be wasted on a sewer rat like her.
00:03:06She belongs on the ground picking up scraps.
00:03:09Daisy, that's enough!
00:03:11I'm your fiancΓ©, and you're taking some random bum side over me?
00:03:15If you still want to marry me, then make her get lost.
00:03:18Right now.
00:03:21Well, I guess the wedding's off.
00:03:22What did you just say?
00:03:24You're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?
00:03:27Do you have any idea what my father could do to her?
00:03:30Leave her out of this, Daisy.
00:03:31I made this decision a long time ago.
00:03:33Our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement.
00:03:36You were never the woman I wanted to marry.
00:03:38My wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her.
00:03:42Someone who treats cruelty like a virtue.
00:03:45You bastard!
00:03:46How dare you!
00:03:47Your family's restaurant is already drowning financially.
00:03:50Without my father's investment, it'll be out of business in no time!
00:03:53Your father only angled for this marriage because he's after my family's recipes.
00:03:57And let me make this clear, even if we're struggling, our restaurant isn't something he can just take away.
00:04:05You're gonna regret this!
00:04:10Dad, Jasper just called off our engagement!
00:04:12Buy out his family's restaurant now!
00:04:14I want you to strip him of everything!
00:04:25I'm sorry you got dragged into all this.
00:04:27Please, take the money.
00:04:29At least let me buy you a decent meal.
00:04:30No, I don't want all that money.
00:04:34Just a burger.
00:04:34Lady, that money could buy ten burgers!
00:04:37I only want one burger.
00:04:39Fresh off the grill.
00:04:41Still hot.
00:04:47Here you go.
00:04:48Hope it's what you wanted.
00:04:56Easy there.
00:04:58Take your time.
00:04:58And please, keep the money.
00:05:00It'll buy you plenty more burgers.
00:05:04You're a good man.
00:05:06It's nothing.
00:05:07It's kindness.
00:05:08It's genuine.
00:05:10Then let me thank you properly.
00:05:13An exclusive ten billion dollar investment contract from Home Group?
00:05:18Covering the entire state?
00:05:20Nice try, but I'm not falling for this.
00:05:23You should take it back.
00:05:24Why would I be joking?
00:05:26My cousin works at Home Group.
00:05:28A contract like this can only be signed by the founder herself, the culinary legend.
00:05:32What, don't tell me you're actually her?
00:05:34Well, you know what, never mind.
00:05:36If you don't believe me, then tell me what else you want.
00:05:39Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.
00:05:41Something else?
00:05:42No, that's really not.
00:05:46Jasper, everything's ready here.
00:05:48When are you and Daisy getting back?
00:05:50Mom, Daisy and I, we've run into a bit of a situation.
00:05:52A situation?
00:05:54Did you two have a fight?
00:05:55Jasper, go make things right.
00:05:56Our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage.
00:05:59We cannot lose the bride.
00:06:00And we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south.
00:06:04Do you understand?
00:06:05Don't worry.
00:06:06I'll get you a bride.
00:06:07You said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:11Anything.
00:06:13Then give me your hand.
00:06:22If you really want to thank me, then marry me.
00:06:26Marry you?
00:06:29No, I can't.
00:06:30My family's restaurant is in trouble, and my parents are hoping a marriage will bring
00:06:34in investors.
00:06:35But I refuse to treat my own future like a business deal.
00:06:38So, I'm asking you to pretend to be a wealthy bride and come home with me, just to help
00:06:44me get through the wedding.
00:06:46That's...
00:06:47Don't worry.
00:06:47I'm not asking you to do it for free.
00:06:49I'll give you $500 a day.
00:06:51You earn some steady cash.
00:06:53My family calms down.
00:06:54What do you say?
00:06:55Perfect.
00:06:56It'll give me more time to see who he really is.
00:07:02Alright, you've got yourself a deal.
00:07:25Wow, you look incredible.
00:07:31So, want a kiss?
00:07:35Whoa, we're not even real husband and wife.
00:07:39You can't just start talking like that.
00:07:41Well, we could always make it real.
00:07:47I can't.
00:07:48I already have feelings for someone.
00:07:53It's her.
00:07:54The woman who won the World Culinary Championship at 18.
00:07:58Built home group into the greatest hospitality empire on Earth.
00:08:01And went on to dominate the competition year after year.
00:08:04The one and only culinary legend.
00:08:07She's the woman of my dreams.
00:08:09He's got a crush on me?
00:08:12That's unexpectedly adorable.
00:08:15So don't get any ideas.
00:08:17Maintain a safe distance.
00:08:19Otherwise, I'll have to revoke your fake bride privileges.
00:08:24Relax.
00:08:25You're not my type.
00:08:26Just make sure you don't fall for me first.
00:08:29Impossible.
00:08:31Impossible.
00:08:31My heart already belongs to the culinary legend.
00:08:36Stay here.
00:08:37I'm going to grab a few gifts for you to bring home.
00:08:39It'll help you make a good first impression on my family.
00:08:44Put together a gift package worth $50 million.
00:08:47Have it delivered to Vance Restaurant under Home Group's name.
00:08:52Right away, boss.
00:08:57Remember, if my parents ask what your family does,
00:09:01tell them your parents own a restaurant company.
00:09:04Annual revenue, let's see.
00:09:08Daisy's family makes about $5 million a year.
00:09:10So tell them yours makes $10 million.
00:09:13And you're okay with lying to them?
00:09:16My family's desperate for investment.
00:09:18The only way they'll accept a last-minute replacement fiancΓ©
00:09:21is if they think she's an upgrade on paper.
00:09:23But that doesn't actually solve the problem.
00:09:26Your restaurant is still in trouble.
00:09:30It'll work out.
00:09:32My idol always says,
00:09:34the only strength that matters is your own.
00:09:37I've spent years building my startup.
00:09:39One day I'll solve my family's problems myself.
00:09:43Build a world-class restaurant
00:09:45and stand beside the culinary legend as her equal.
00:09:55Is Jasper back yet?
00:09:58Honestly, forcing him to marry that spoiled Daisy
00:10:01just to save the restaurant isn't fair to him.
00:10:04Mom, how can you say that?
00:10:06Daisy's family practically runs the restaurant industry in this state.
00:10:10Marrying her brings a million dollars into our business.
00:10:13That's something to celebrate.
00:10:15Exactly.
00:10:16Jasper's 29.
00:10:17It's time he settled down.
00:10:19And I'm not handing over the family's secret sauce recipe until he does.
00:10:23Daisy Syrah's daughter,
00:10:24the biggest name in the local restaurant business.
00:10:27It's a good match.
00:10:28He's hardly suffering.
00:10:29What's so special about that rich girl?
00:10:32I should have been the one marrying Jasper.
00:10:36Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're here!
00:10:43Wait.
00:10:45Why isn't Daisy with you?
00:10:47Who is that?
00:10:51Jasper!
00:10:52What is the meaning of this?
00:10:54Where's Daisy?
00:10:55Mom, Dad, I called off the engagement.
00:10:58I don't love Daisy.
00:11:00Sage is the woman I want to marry.
00:11:01And today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:11:05Have you lost your mind?
00:11:07Jasper, this is unbelievably irresponsible.
00:11:09Do you have any idea how badly we need Daisy's family's investment?
00:11:12If you alienate them, you could bankrupt this restaurant overnight.
00:11:16Enough.
00:11:18We've got a yard full of guests and a wedding ready to go.
00:11:21The least we can do is hear the boy out.
00:11:25Sage, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:11:27Mr. Vance, Mrs. Vance, Grandmother, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
00:11:32Where are you from?
00:11:33How many people are in your family?
00:11:35What do your parents do?
00:11:36And how much money do they make?
00:11:38We're from Houston.
00:11:39I'm an only child.
00:11:40My father owns a chain of restaurant hotels, and my mother is a homemaker.
00:11:45Annual family income, $10 million.
00:11:48$10 million a year?
00:11:50Daisy's family runs the biggest restaurant business around here, and they only make five.
00:11:54This fiancΓ© is the real deal.
00:11:55Well, isn't that wonderful?
00:11:57A restaurant family just like ours.
00:11:59I knew I liked you the moment I saw you.
00:12:02Called it.
00:12:08Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:12:11It's your wedding day.
00:12:12Why aren't they here?
00:12:14My parents are overseas on business.
00:12:16They couldn't get away.
00:12:18Right.
00:12:18Sage's parents are pretty hands-off.
00:12:20She makes her own decisions.
00:12:21As long as she sends them an email, they're happy.
00:12:23That's true.
00:12:24Wealthy families are different about those things.
00:12:28Jasper, this was a reckless stunt.
00:12:30Next time, you talk to us first.
00:12:32Understood?
00:12:33Well then, let's not waste any more time.
00:12:35The ceremony's about to start.
00:12:36Come with me.
00:12:37I'll get you ready.
00:12:39Hold on!
00:12:41Elena!
00:12:41She's lying.
00:12:43Every word of it.
00:12:46Mia, why would you say something like that?
00:12:48Mia, I know you've always had feelings for Jasper.
00:12:51But Sage is clearly a better match for him.
00:12:55Don't start trouble where there isn't any.
00:12:58Aunt Elena, I'm serious.
00:13:00I saw her with my own eyes this morning, coming out of some run-down hotel.
00:13:04She is not some wealthy hotel heiress.
00:13:15What kind of rich iris stays in a motel?
00:13:18Shouldn't she be living in one of her family's luxury hotels?
00:13:21Jasper?
00:13:21Care to explain?
00:13:23If her family owns hotels, why were the two of you coming out of a dump like that?
00:13:29Jasper's been conned.
00:13:30She saw a handsome guy from a family that owns a successful restaurant and decided to
00:13:35scam her way into your lives.
00:13:36That's not true!
00:13:37Sage isn't a scammer!
00:13:39She was there because...
00:13:40Because...
00:13:42Because my family's hotels are exclusive resort on private islands.
00:13:46We don't operate properties on the mainland.
00:13:50Hotels on private islands?
00:13:52How luxurious is that?
00:13:54Nothing extravagant.
00:13:55Just over 500 properties worldwide.
00:13:57The brand is called Home.
00:13:59If you'd like, I can arrange membership cards for everyone.
00:14:02Home?
00:14:02That's the culinary legends company.
00:14:05Are you trying to get me killed?
00:14:07I told you to pretend to be rich, not pretend to be the culinary legend.
00:14:11See?
00:14:12I told you!
00:14:13She's a fraud!
00:14:15Home was founded by the culinary legend herself, and this woman is actually claiming it belongs
00:14:20to her family!
00:14:21That's unbelievable!
00:14:22Who tells lies that ridiculous?
00:14:24What a fraud!
00:14:25Does she really think anyone can pretend to be the culinary legend?
00:14:28Jasper, have you been lying to your father and me?
00:14:31No, I'm not.
00:14:33Jasper, the truth.
00:14:34Right now, who exactly is this woman?
00:14:38Mom, Dad.
00:14:39Her family really is in the hotel business, just not home.
00:14:43She was joking, that's all.
00:14:44Just making a joke.
00:14:46Grandma, you've always wanted to see me get married, right?
00:14:48Let us do it today.
00:14:50Right here, with you watching.
00:14:52Wait!
00:14:52We're not done here.
00:14:54Mia, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:14:55Are you deliberately trying to ruin this?
00:14:57Jasper, I'm not trying to cause trouble.
00:14:58I just don't want Aunt Elena and the rest of the family being lied to.
00:15:01Mia, what are you saying?
00:15:03Aunt Elena, doesn't this strike you as strange?
00:15:05For years, Jasper has been obsessed with the culinary legend.
00:15:08He's always said that if he couldn't marry her, anyone else would just be settling.
00:15:12So how does he suddenly meet the love of his life and call off an engagement over her?
00:15:17Jasper, you didn't hire someone to pretend to be your bride?
00:15:20Just to get out of this marriage, did you?
00:15:23No way, that's insane.
00:15:25That can't be true.
00:15:27Jasper would never lie to me.
00:15:29Jasper, answer me.
00:15:31Is this woman a fake bride you hired to deceive your grandmother?
00:15:34Dad, Grandma, don't listen to her.
00:15:36Stop making things up.
00:15:37Am I?
00:15:38Since the moment they got here, they've done everything they can to keep their distance.
00:15:42Other than holding hands, they haven't acted like a couple once.
00:15:45No chemistry, no affection.
00:15:47They don't look like two people about to get married.
00:15:49Because it's all fake!
00:15:53Oh, you want affection?
00:15:54Fine.
00:15:54We'll give you affection.
00:15:57Here, sweetheart.
00:15:59Have something sweet.
00:16:01Let me steal a taste.
00:16:22Why do her eyes feel so familiar?
00:16:25I told you, my grandson would never lie to me.
00:16:28Look at them.
00:16:28They're perfect together.
00:16:31You're the first man who's ever had the nerve to kiss me like that.
00:16:36Happy now?
00:16:38How does it feel watching the man you like kiss somebody else?
00:16:41Mr. Vance!
00:16:44Looks like quite the celebration you've got going on.
00:16:47That's Cyrus Potter.
00:16:48Daisy's father, the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state.
00:16:51And that kid with him, isn't that Senator Bruce's only son?
00:16:54Jasper just dumped his daughter.
00:16:56There's no way he's here for anything good.
00:17:07Mr. Potter, I owe you an apology.
00:17:12What Jasper did to your daughter was wrong.
00:17:14And I'm truly sorry.
00:17:17Forget the engagement.
00:17:18I heard your restaurant has a secret sauce.
00:17:21So good it can make anyone hungry.
00:17:23Senator Bruce asked me to bring young Master Leo here to try it.
00:17:26If you can get him to eat, there'll be a very generous reward.
00:17:30If you can't, then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business.
00:17:34Mr. Potter, we do have the sauce.
00:17:36But I've injured my wrist recently.
00:17:38And young Master Leo's condition is...
00:17:40So you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs?
00:17:43A restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open.
00:17:47Perhaps I should recommend the Senator shut this place down.
00:17:49No.
00:17:50Everybody knows Senator Bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia.
00:17:53World-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat.
00:17:56The only person who ever succeeded was the culinary legend,
00:17:59and the Senator paid a hundred million dollars for that meal.
00:18:02You're not here for dinner.
00:18:03You're here to destroy us.
00:18:08That's right.
00:18:09You had the nerve to dump my daughter.
00:18:11Now you get to watch your whole family lose everything.
00:18:17Vance Restaurant is unable to serve its customers.
00:18:19That's grounds for closure.
00:18:21Tear it apart.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:30What?
00:18:31Has Vance Restaurant fallen so low that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:18:36There she goes again.
00:18:37Always desperate for attention.
00:18:41What are you doing?
00:18:42This is my family's problem, not yours.
00:18:46Stay behind me.
00:18:47No one's ever tried to protect me before.
00:18:50You want payback for your daughter?
00:18:52Fine.
00:18:52This is all on me.
00:18:54Do whatever you want of me.
00:18:55Just leave my family out of it.
00:18:58Brave little fool.
00:19:00If you want to go down first, be my guest.
00:19:05Nobody lays a hand on my son.
00:19:08I will make something Master Leo enjoys.
00:19:11Until then, you don't touch a single member of my family and you don't damage a single thing in my
00:19:15restaurant.
00:19:16They haven't even had a chance to cook yet.
00:19:18How can you shut them down already?
00:19:20He's not even trying to hide it.
00:19:21This is obviously a setup.
00:19:23Fine.
00:19:24But if you fail, don't blame me when I shut this place down on the spot.
00:19:37Let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend.
00:19:59Please, give it a try.
00:20:11Oh my God, he ate it.
00:20:13Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like.
00:20:17But Chef Rowan actually got him to take a bite.
00:20:20Honey, you did it.
00:20:25Sage, what is it?
00:20:27The sauce is good, but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential.
00:20:32Are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:20:35Can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:20:38If there was something wrong with the dish, why would Master Leo eat it?
00:20:42Do you think we're all idiots?
00:20:54That's disgusting!
00:20:56Why would you serve me this?
00:20:59What?
00:21:00No way!
00:21:01She was right.
00:21:02She actually called it.
00:21:04Vance Restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer.
00:21:09Clearly unfit to operate.
00:21:10As the senator's representative.
00:21:13I'm shutting this place down immediately!
00:21:16Wait!
00:21:18Who says nobody in the Vance family can make something he'll eat?
00:21:22You're supposed to be some rich heiress.
00:21:25Since when do rich girls know how to cook?
00:21:28Stop making things worse.
00:21:30Ha!
00:21:31Rowan, have you really run out of options?
00:21:34You're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:21:37Sage, stop.
00:21:38Be serious.
00:21:39You don't know how to cook.
00:21:41He doesn't need food.
00:21:43He needs a taste that reminds him what hunger feels like.
00:21:46A taste that wakes his appetite back up.
00:21:49And there's only one person in the world who knows how to do that.
00:21:52And it's me.
00:21:57Do you trust me?
00:21:58There's something about her.
00:22:00Something that makes you want to believe.
00:22:01Fine.
00:22:03One last chance.
00:22:05I want a dish on that table in ten minutes.
00:22:07And nobody helps her.
00:22:09Ten minutes?
00:22:10It takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients.
00:22:13Nobody can make a proper dish in ten.
00:22:15You've got one shot.
00:22:17Of course, you're welcome to give up now.
00:22:20You!
00:22:21Fine.
00:22:22But ten minutes is excessive.
00:22:24Give me three.
00:22:26Three minutes?
00:22:27Sage, this is no time for jokes!
00:22:29You can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes!
00:22:32If she wants to embarrass herself, who am I to stop her?
00:22:35Three minutes it is.
00:22:36Jasper, your fiancΓ© has completely lost her mind!
00:22:39Are you sure about this?
00:22:41Three minutes isn't enough time.
00:22:44For someone else, maybe.
00:22:45Not for me.
00:23:01She carries chef's tools with her everywhere?
00:23:12Go ahead.
00:23:13Let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes.
00:23:18Go show them what you've got.
00:23:39How far along is she?
00:23:41Why is it so quiet?
00:23:42Maybe she realized she's in over her head and is back there crying.
00:23:58Thirty seconds.
00:23:59That's all you've got left.
00:24:01Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:24:03Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:24:07That's not what I meant.
00:24:16What is that smell?
00:24:18I've never smelled anything like it before.
00:24:21Oh my God.
00:24:23I'm actually drooling.
00:24:24She cooked with oil, yet there's not a trace of smoke.
00:24:27Just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat.
00:24:29This is the pinnacle of the craft.
00:24:31The level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach.
00:24:34Jasper, who exactly did you bring home?
00:24:39Ten seconds!
00:24:40If she doesn't put a dish on that table, I'm shutting this place down!
00:24:52Please, enjoy.
00:25:00That's impossible!
00:25:04Please, dig in.
00:25:15But that's it?
00:25:16It's just a burger?
00:25:19You're kidding me!
00:25:20Three minutes and this is the best you could do?
00:25:22A burger?
00:25:24Complete garbage.
00:25:26How embarrassing.
00:25:27All that drama and she comes out with something that looks like it was stolen from a drive-thru.
00:25:32Is it?
00:25:32Then why don't you taste it and find out?
00:25:34Taste it?
00:25:35Master Leo's eaten the finest food money can buy.
00:25:38Why would he even look at something like that?
00:25:40There's no way he'll touch it!
00:25:52Elena, look at the kind of woman Jasper brought home.
00:25:55Nobody even knows who she is.
00:25:57And now she's about to drag the entire Vance family down with her.
00:26:02It's over.
00:26:03Is this really how the Vance restaurant ends?
00:26:05Jasper!
00:26:06Where did you find this girl?
00:26:08Where did you find this girl?
00:26:14Mom, he hasn't even tasted it yet.
00:26:16Maybe Sage can actually pull this off.
00:26:18The senator spent millions bringing in the world's greatest chefs for this boy.
00:26:23And not one of them got him to eat.
00:26:26If he takes a bite of this pathetic little burger, I'll eat this table.
00:26:31Careful.
00:26:32I'd hate to see you break your word.
00:26:35You've got quite a mouth on you.
00:26:37Don't worry, girl.
00:26:38I won't forget it.
00:26:40When the Vance family falls, you'll be right there with them.
00:26:45Young Master Leo, can you believe they tried to serve you this slodge?
00:26:50I'll throw it away right now.
00:26:51Report this insult to your father and have this place shut down immediately.
00:26:57I want that.
00:27:02Give it to me.
00:27:04I want it.
00:27:05Master Leo, no.
00:27:06You can't eat something like that.
00:27:08It's junk food.
00:27:09This is the first time Master Leo has ever asked for food himself.
00:27:13What's in that burger?
00:27:15He's probably just curious.
00:27:17Because he's never seen food this cheap before.
00:27:20Elena, that burger could make him sick.
00:27:22He shouldn't be eating it.
00:27:23Enough, Mia!
00:27:25You're my cousin.
00:27:27Why is every word out of your mouth trying to tear someone down?
00:27:35Master Leo, this was prepared especially for you by Vance Restaurant.
00:27:39Please, enjoy.
00:27:55Is it good or bad?
00:27:58Isn't it obvious?
00:27:59It's awful.
00:28:01Look at him.
00:28:02He's literally crying.
00:28:03This taste!
00:28:05This taste!
00:28:06It's terrible, isn't it?
00:28:08You don't have to force yourself, Master Leo.
00:28:11Just spit it out.
00:28:12I'll make sure they're punished for this!
00:28:15Why isn't he saying anything?
00:28:16He's just crying.
00:28:18Is it really that bad?
00:28:19That's it.
00:28:19It's so awful.
00:28:21He can't even talk.
00:28:22This is all her fault.
00:28:24Jasper!
00:28:25We're all going to pay for your reckless wife's mistake!
00:28:29Unbelievable!
00:28:30You served Senator Bruce's son this disgusting slob!
00:28:35Seal this place off!
00:28:40As of this moment, I am officially shutting down Vance Restaurant on the Senator's behalf!
00:28:46No, you can't do this!
00:28:52How stupid you have to be to let some little girl do the cooking.
00:28:56Don't worry.
00:28:57Once I take over this restaurant, I'll tear it down brick by brick.
00:29:01Every trace of you people will be wiped away, just like this pathetic burger.
00:29:08Give me back my burger, you idiot!
00:29:22This is the greatest thing I've ever tasted.
00:29:47This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!
00:29:52She actually did it!
00:29:54She got a child with severe anorexia to eat, and she did it in three minutes!
00:29:58Honestly, a chef who can work under a deadline that brutal, and still produce a flawless dish?
00:30:04There are only a handful in the world.
00:30:07You did it!
00:30:08Sage, you actually did it!
00:30:10You saved our restaurant!
00:30:12Easy there.
00:30:13You're breaking my ribs.
00:30:16Sorry.
00:30:17I got a little carried away.
00:30:23I couldn't exactly let down the one person who believed in me.
00:30:29Looks like Jasper brought a little miracle into this family.
00:30:34Damn it!
00:30:37Somehow she always ends up stealing the spotlight.
00:30:41No way!
00:30:42I did my homework!
00:30:44The only food Leo will eat is food made by the culinary legend!
00:30:48How gossip-ly!
00:30:52Unless...
00:30:54She's...
00:30:58What am I thinking?
00:30:59The culinary legend is a complete mystery.
00:31:02She never shows her face in public.
00:31:05There's no way she'd be here.
00:31:08Miss!
00:31:09That burger was incredible!
00:31:11Other than the culinary legend's food,
00:31:13I've never eaten anything that tasted this good!
00:31:20I'll give you ten million dollars.
00:31:22Ten million dollars?
00:31:25Will you come home with me?
00:31:27That's a very generous offer.
00:31:29But I have a wedding to get through.
00:31:32So I can't come home with you.
00:31:40Then I'll marry you!
00:31:49Miss Sage, will you marry me?
00:31:52Hey!
00:31:52She's my wife!
00:31:55Be good.
00:31:57Give this to your father and tell him to call me.
00:32:00I promise.
00:32:01I'll come see you.
00:32:03Pinky promise?
00:32:05Pinky promise.
00:32:07Now off you go.
00:32:11Promise me you'll keep eating when you get home, okay?
00:32:22Bye, Miss Sage!
00:32:23I'll come visit you!
00:32:24Master Leo, wait for me!
00:32:29You think this is over?
00:32:30Think again!
00:32:32Before today is done,
00:32:33none of you are getting off easy!
00:32:39You're a good girl.
00:32:41We owe you a lot.
00:32:42And about earlier,
00:32:44don't take any of that to heart.
00:32:46Of course not.
00:32:47She really is a lovely girl.
00:32:49You two hit the jackpot.
00:32:51A daughter-in-law with money,
00:32:54grace,
00:32:54and talent in the kitchen?
00:32:56That's rare!
00:33:01Elena, you're all being played.
00:33:03She's not who she claims to be.
00:33:05Mia, what are you talking about?
00:33:06Doesn't any of this strike you as strange?
00:33:09Every rich girl I've ever met is hampered.
00:33:11They have staff waiting on them hand and foot.
00:33:14Most of them don't even know where the kitchen is.
00:33:17But she carries chef's tools on her body
00:33:19and cooks like a master chef.
00:33:21She's got a point.
00:33:22Girls from families like that
00:33:23usually don't cook for themselves.
00:33:25Sage took cooking classes.
00:33:27Is it really that strange
00:33:28that she knows her way around a kitchen?
00:33:30Knowing how to cook isn't strange.
00:33:32But rich girls take care of their hands.
00:33:36Manicures, treatments.
00:33:38Even if they cook,
00:33:39it's only once in a while.
00:33:40Look at these hands.
00:33:42Every finger is covered in calishes.
00:33:44Those are not the hands of a wealthy heiresh.
00:33:46Good grief.
00:33:47My aunt works on a farm
00:33:49and her hands aren't even that rough.
00:33:50There's only one explanation.
00:33:52She's a fraud
00:33:53pretending to be a rich heiress
00:33:56so she can scam people out of money!
00:34:04Sorry.
00:34:05I don't like being manhandled.
00:34:07You!
00:34:08Elena, do you see that?
00:34:10She's getting defensive
00:34:11because she's been caught!
00:34:12Jasper, I want answers.
00:34:14Even if she can cook,
00:34:16if she's not who she said she is,
00:34:18she can't solve our financial problems.
00:34:20What's really going on here?
00:34:22Jasper, tell me the truth.
00:34:24Did you bring this woman here to deceive us?
00:34:26No, Dad.
00:34:28Just hear me out.
00:34:29If she's been lying to us,
00:34:31we'll never accept her.
00:34:33Elena, that's not fair.
00:34:35Sage just saved this family.
00:34:37That's a separate issue, Eve.
00:34:38A liar has no place in this family.
00:34:42Even if this restaurant goes under,
00:34:44I won't stand by
00:34:46and let a fraud
00:34:47take advantage of my family.
00:34:51Sage is not a fraud
00:34:53and she has absolutely no interest
00:34:55in taking anything from this family.
00:34:56I swear it on my life.
00:34:59And what does that prove?
00:35:01You don't have a shred of evidence.
00:35:03Real air aces don't have hands
00:35:05covered in callas.
00:35:06You!
00:35:09Tell me something.
00:35:10Since when are calluses a source of shame?
00:35:24Maybe you see these and think they're ugly.
00:35:26I don't.
00:35:27Every one of them is proof of the hours I've worked,
00:35:30the sacrifices I've made,
00:35:32and everything I've earned with my own two hands.
00:35:35They don't represent poverty.
00:35:36They represent hard-earned independence.
00:35:42They remind me that I built my strength myself
00:35:44and never had to rely on anyone else.
00:35:48Shameful?
00:35:48No.
00:35:49These are the medals I'm proudest of.
00:35:51The only thing that should be ashamed
00:35:54is looking down on people for honest work.
00:36:10And as for being after your money,
00:36:13that's the funnest accusation of all.
00:36:16Because I've already arranged
00:36:18a $50 million wedding gift
00:36:20for my husband, Jasper.
00:36:21$50 million?
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:25Wow.
00:36:26The lies just keep getting bigger.
00:36:28Do you even understand
00:36:29how much $50 million is?
00:36:32Exactly.
00:36:33The kind of person who can casually
00:36:35hand over $50 million
00:36:36is on the Forbes rich list.
00:36:38She's obviously a fraud.
00:36:40She can't even afford a decent hotel.
00:36:42And we're supposed to believe
00:36:43she's giving away millions?
00:36:44Jasper, throw her out already.
00:36:47Don't let her keep humiliating your family.
00:36:50Have you lost your mind?
00:36:52Where are you supposed to get $50 million?
00:36:54This is way too big a bluff.
00:36:56Trust me.
00:36:58I won't make a fool of you.
00:37:00Where's the gift I asked you to prepare?
00:37:02We're at the entrance to the neighborhood, boss.
00:37:04We'll be there any second.
00:37:07It won't be much longer.
00:37:08Keep talking.
00:37:12Let's see how long
00:37:13you can keep this act going.
00:37:31No way.
00:37:32They actually showed up.
00:37:38That's an Aston Martin Valkyrie.
00:37:40One of the rarest cars on the planet.
00:37:42Rowan, who on earth did you invite to this wedding?
00:37:44Nobody.
00:37:45Everyone we invited is already here.
00:37:47Elena, could it be that wealthy nephew of yours
00:37:50from Los Angeles?
00:37:51I heard his wife
00:37:52trained at Le Corbon B
00:37:54and runs one of those famous
00:37:56high-end restaurants.
00:37:58Let me take a look.
00:37:59It actually might be.
00:38:01Huh.
00:38:02That doesn't look like my nephew.
00:38:04That's because they're not here for him.
00:38:06They're here for me.
00:38:08You?
00:38:09You're saying a convoy like this
00:38:11came for you?
00:38:12Please, get real.
00:38:14Watch.
00:38:27Boss.
00:38:29What?
00:38:30No way!
00:38:34Tell me I'm not seeing things.
00:38:36That entire motorcade actually came for her?
00:38:41Where's the gift I asked you to prepare?
00:38:43Right here, boss.
00:38:46Mrs. Vand?
00:38:48Mr. Vand, grandmother,
00:38:49it's a pleasure to meet you properly
00:38:51as Jasper's wife.
00:38:52Please accept this small gift from me.
00:38:55Such a thoughtful girl.
00:38:57Go on, Elena.
00:38:58Take it.
00:39:00What's in it?
00:39:02Good question.
00:39:03What is it?
00:39:04Inside is a private island worth $10 million
00:39:08and a commercial property worth $40 million.
00:39:12Excuse me?
00:39:14A $10 million island
00:39:15and a $40 million commercial property?
00:39:18You've really started believing your own fantasy,
00:39:21haven't you?
00:39:22Really?
00:39:22Then why don't you open it and find out?
00:39:24Elena,
00:39:25the code is Jasper's birthday.
00:39:27Still putting on a show.
00:39:28Open it, Aunt Elena.
00:39:29I guarantee it's a joke.
00:39:32Open it already!
00:39:42They're real!
00:39:43A prime location commercial property
00:39:45and an actual island deed?
00:39:47My gosh.
00:39:48How wealthy do you have to be
00:39:49to give something like this
00:39:51as a first meeting gift?
00:39:52This...
00:39:53This is really for us?
00:39:54Of course.
00:39:55For my boss's instructions.
00:39:57Everything has already been prepared.
00:39:59Once you sign the paperwork,
00:40:01ownership will be transferred immediately.
00:40:04Oh my goodness!
00:40:05Jasper, you really brought home a treasure!
00:40:09What are you doing?
00:40:10I asked you to help me get my parents off my back,
00:40:12not hire actors and stage some insane performance.
00:40:15Sooner or later,
00:40:16somebody's going to realize none of this is real.
00:40:18I'm not making any of this up.
00:40:19The truth is,
00:40:21I'm not homeless.
00:40:22I'm...
00:40:33Aunt Elena!
00:40:33Aunt Elena!
00:40:34My successful nephew, Ben,
00:40:36and his wife, Molly!
00:40:38You're finally here, Aunt Elena.
00:40:41This is Ben's and my wedding gift for Jasper.
00:40:43It's not much.
00:40:45Just $100,000.
00:40:48We wish him
00:40:49a lifetime of happiness.
00:40:51Elena,
00:40:52you're so lucky!
00:40:53Your nephew and his wife
00:40:54just handed over a hundred grand.
00:40:57Now that's how wealthy people give gifts!
00:40:59Of course!
00:41:01Molly trained at Le Cornelieu
00:41:02and worked in Michelin-starred kitchens.
00:41:04Her restaurant brings in millions every year.
00:41:08I've always been proud of them.
00:41:10Two pieces of paper don't prove anything.
00:41:13Real wealth is cash on the table like Molly's.
00:41:16My apologies.
00:41:17Once your accounts get large enough,
00:41:19carrying cash becomes inconvenient.
00:41:22Sage!
00:41:23What are you doing here?
00:41:24She's Jasper's fiancΓ©.
00:41:26Quite wealthy, too.
00:41:27She just gifted us an island
00:41:29and a commercial property.
00:41:30What?
00:41:31What is it, Molly?
00:41:32Is something wrong?
00:41:33Wrong?
00:41:34There's a huge problem.
00:41:36Aunt Elena,
00:41:37do you have any idea who she really is?
00:41:39Who?
00:41:40She's homeless!
00:41:42She's a beggar!
00:41:44What?
00:41:45You're joking.
00:41:46She's a beggar?
00:41:49See for yourselves.
00:41:50She's exactly like what she appears to be,
00:41:52a homeless bum.
00:41:53She really is homeless!
00:41:55Oh my God!
00:41:56Jasper!
00:41:57What the hell is going on here?
00:42:06This woman is my ex.
00:42:08We didn't last long.
00:42:10The second I found out her family was dirt poor,
00:42:12I dumped her.
00:42:13And now she's pretending to be some rich heiress
00:42:17so she can trick Jasper into marrying her.
00:42:21Unbelievable.
00:42:21I told you she was a fraud.
00:42:24Believe me now,
00:42:25those contracts have to be fake, too.
00:42:29You lying little con artist!
00:42:31You tricked my son into marrying you
00:42:33and you tried to fool me with fake documents?
00:42:36Get out!
00:42:40No.
00:42:41Mom, Dad, please.
00:42:42Just let me explain.
00:42:44Explain what?
00:42:45The Vance family will never accept a bum.
00:42:47Move aside, Jasper.
00:42:49Stop protecting her.
00:42:50Every second she stays here makes my skin crawl.
00:42:53Do you have any idea who she...
00:42:55You're sent tobelievable Justice.
00:42:56Go to hell.
00:42:57Battle.
00:42:57Battle.
00:42:59Tell him.
00:43:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:43:20Rowan!
00:43:21I'm back!
00:43:22Cyrus?
00:43:23What are you doing back here?
00:43:29I'm here to formally challenge Vance Restaurant to a culinary deathmatch.
00:43:36Is this the culinary challenge?
00:43:38What is it? Tell us.
00:43:40Each side picks a chef and competes under the supervision of a certified judge.
00:43:43The losing restaurant has to shut down immediately and surrender its operating rights.
00:43:48He's not here to play nice.
00:43:49Relax, Rowan. I know people at your level probably don't even qualify for competitions like this.
00:43:55But don't worry. Everything is completely legal and above board.
00:43:59The woman standing beside me is Miss Mary, one of the top judges in international culinary competition.
00:44:05She'll be serving as the sole judge today.
00:44:07Her?
00:44:07Mr. Cyrus Porter, holder of an international culinary challenge license,
00:44:12formally challenges Vance Restaurant to a culinary showdown.
00:44:15Best two out of three rounds.
00:44:16If Vance Restaurant loses, it must immediately cease operations and transfer ownership rights.
00:44:22If Mr. Potter loses, he agrees never to set foot here again and to cease all interference with Vance Restaurant.
00:44:28All proceedings will follow international culinary competition regulations.
00:44:33Judging standards will be fully transparent and legally binding.
00:44:38Well, Rowan, do you have the guts to accept?
00:44:41See that? Both of Cyrus' chefs are wearing Michelin three-star insignia peas.
00:44:46Exactly. Vance Restaurant only has Rowan.
00:44:49He's basically picking a fight because they don't have anyone else.
00:44:54The only reason the senator's kid ate that girl's garbage burger was because he'd never had cheap fast food before.
00:45:01It was a novelty.
00:45:02This time I've brought real chefs.
00:45:04Vance Restaurant doesn't stand a chance.
00:45:07This is ridiculous!
00:45:09You're forcing this on us!
00:45:10Of course.
00:45:11Your father is always free to refuse.
00:45:14You...
00:45:18Just turn it down, Aunt Elena.
00:45:21We can't win this.
00:45:23Rowan, maybe we should refuse.
00:45:25Your wrist is injured.
00:45:26Last time was already pushing it.
00:45:28How are you supposed to do this again?
00:45:30It's not that simple, Elena.
00:45:31He didn't come all this way with an entourage just to let us walk away.
00:45:35Three seconds remaining.
00:45:37If Vance Restaurant fails to respond, it will be recorded as a forfeit.
00:45:41Three.
00:45:43Two.
00:45:45Vance Restaurant accepts your challenge.
00:45:50How dare you accept a challenge on behalf of Vance Restaurant?
00:45:54What happens if we lose?
00:45:56Filthy piece of street trash.
00:45:58You're trying to drag Jasper's whole family down with you.
00:46:01Sage, please.
00:46:02Don't make this any worse.
00:46:03I'm not making anything worse.
00:46:05If you accept the challenge, you might lose.
00:46:07But if you refuse it, you're guaranteed to lose.
00:46:11Oh, please.
00:46:12Spare us the theatrics.
00:46:14Sage, what are you talking about?
00:46:15This challenge is one of the most notorious competitions in the culinary world.
00:46:19They call it the Unrefusal Challenge.
00:46:21Once it's been formally issued, declining it counts as an automatic loss.
00:46:25You'd still be forced to shut down and surrender ownership.
00:46:28What?
00:46:28Is that true, Sage?
00:46:30Of course it is.
00:46:31Why do you think he was being so generous about letting you walk away?
00:46:33He was counting on you not knowing the rules.
00:46:36Scare you with celebrity chefs.
00:46:38Trick you into declining and win by default.
00:46:40The young lady is correct.
00:46:42Mr. Potter informed me that your side was already familiar with the competition rules.
00:46:45In the interest of fairness, Mr. Potter is hereby issued a formal warning for that misrepresentation.
00:46:51So that's what this was?
00:46:52Unbelievable.
00:46:53That's absolutely shameless.
00:46:56You little brat.
00:46:58You just can't stop ruining my plans, can you?
00:47:02Who is this girl?
00:47:03How does she know these competitions so well?
00:47:05Wait, those eyes.
00:47:07Why do those eyes look so familiar?
00:47:10Strange.
00:47:11I've never met this girl before.
00:47:13So why does she feel so familiar?
00:47:17Vance Restaurant accepts the challenge.
00:47:21Very well.
00:47:21Since the challenge party has accepted, both sides are to send their chefs to the municipal dining hall tomorrow at
00:47:318 o'clock.
00:47:32To ensure complete fairness and transparency, the entire competition will be broadcast live.
00:47:41Live streamed?
00:47:42My God!
00:47:44If they lose, the entire state will see it!
00:47:49Rowan, your wrist is injured.
00:47:51Rowan, your wrist is injured.
00:47:51You can't compete.
00:47:52Who are we supposed to send?
00:47:54Let's get out of here.
00:47:56A live broadcast is no joke.
00:47:58One mistake and it could hurt our restaurant's business.
00:48:00Mally!
00:48:02Could you compete in Rowan's place?
00:48:04You'll help us?
00:48:05Won't you?
00:48:06Oh, Elena, my hand's been acting up lately.
00:48:09I can barely hold a knife.
00:48:11Both of Vance Restaurant's chefs are injured.
00:48:14They don't even have anyone to compete.
00:48:16There's no way they can win.
00:48:17I'm sorry, Dad.
00:48:20If I hadn't insisted on studying business, instead of learning your cooking, we wouldn't be in this position.
00:48:28Miss Sage, would you be willing to represent Vance Restaurant in the competition?
00:48:34Uncle Rowan, you can't be serious.
00:48:37You're asking her to represent Vance Restaurant?
00:48:40She's nothing but a street rat.
00:48:46Molly, Sage married into this family.
00:48:48That makes her part of Vance Restaurant.
00:48:51Of course she's eligible to compete.
00:48:53Unless, of course, your hand has suddenly recovered.
00:48:57This old man sure knows how to put people to work.
00:49:01She got the senator's son to eat.
00:49:03She knows the international competition circuit inside and out.
00:49:07Maybe, just maybe, she can beat Mark.
00:49:10No, Dad.
00:49:11Sage isn't doing this.
00:49:13Why not?
00:49:13Because Sage isn't really my fiancΓ©e.
00:49:16I hired her to pretend so you'd stop pressuring me to get married.
00:49:19What?
00:49:22Jasper, how could you do something like this?
00:49:25I'm sorry, Mom.
00:49:27Dad, I just wanted some control over my own life.
00:49:30But Sage didn't do anything wrong.
00:49:31She shouldn't get dragged into this.
00:49:33Here's the rest of what I owe you for the week.
00:49:36Just go.
00:49:37Stay out of this.
00:49:39Cyrus is going to come after anyone involved.
00:49:41I knew I wasn't wrong about you.
00:49:43And for the record, I don't want your money.
00:49:48I want to marry you for real.
00:49:51I'll represent the Vance family in the competition.
00:49:55We're in your hands now.
00:49:57No, Sage.
00:50:06Relax.
00:50:07If you want to win,
00:50:09then I won't let you lose.
00:50:15It seems tomorrow's competition may not be as one-sided as I thought.
00:50:31You can stay in my room tonight.
00:50:35There aren't any spare rooms left.
00:50:37Don't worry.
00:50:37You take the bed.
00:50:40I'll sleep on the floor.
00:50:44Bathroom's right there.
00:50:46You can shower first.
00:50:47Oh.
00:50:48Okay.
00:50:55What's gotten into me?
00:50:57I've never been this nervous,
00:50:58even before a competition.
00:51:16Jasper!
00:51:19Are you out there?
00:51:30Sage, I brought you a towel.
00:51:47How much did you see?
00:51:49Not much.
00:51:51Just everything you didn't cover.
00:51:55Relax.
00:51:56The culinary legend is the only woman for me.
00:51:59You don't have anything to worry about.
00:52:18Knock it off, Jasper.
00:52:20Stop thinking about it.
00:52:22You're in love with the culinary legend.
00:52:23You're in love with the culinary legend.
00:52:37Probably a blown circuit.
00:52:41Let me take a look.
00:52:44Sage?
00:52:46Sage, are you okay?
00:52:48I'm fine.
00:52:49I just don't like the dark.
00:52:51The dark?
00:52:52It's nothing.
00:52:53I've been like this since I was little.
00:52:55Just give me a minute.
00:52:56She must have suffered a lot living on the streets.
00:53:02It's okay.
00:53:03I'm here.
00:53:04Sage, I'll stay with you.
00:53:09He's the only one who's ever really stood up for me.
00:53:12It's him.
00:53:15Jasper.
00:53:18Hmm?
00:53:21Tomorrow, I'll make sure you win.
00:53:26Winning doesn't matter.
00:53:28I'm just grateful you came into my life, Sage.
00:53:31Maybe...
00:53:37Maybe I've already fallen for you.
00:53:52Round one is about to begin.
00:53:55Both sides.
00:53:56Please choose your competing chef.
00:54:02So what have you accepted my challenge?
00:54:05My chefs are about to wipe the floor with you.
00:54:15That's Chef Mark.
00:54:16He's famous worldwide for his knife skills.
00:54:19Uncle Rowan, you seriously think that beggar can beat him?
00:54:24We're counting on you, kid.
00:54:33Round one, knife skills.
00:54:36Each chef will select a partner.
00:54:38Blindfolded, they will julienne a potato on their partner's abdomen.
00:54:42After five minutes, the chef with the finest, most uniform, and most precise cuts will be declared the winner.
00:54:57They're cutting potatoes on someone's stomach?
00:55:00Is this even a real competition?
00:55:03And blindfolded?
00:55:05One slip and somebody ends up bleeding all over the stage!
00:55:10No.
00:55:11It's actually a brilliantly designed challenge.
00:55:14It tests more than knife skills.
00:55:16It tests composure.
00:55:17The abdomen is soft, sensitive, and constantly moving with every breath.
00:55:22Blindfolded chefs are easily affected by that movement.
00:55:25They hesitate, their hands shake, or they run out of time.
00:55:28To produce perfectly even, beautiful julies under those conditions,
00:55:32a chef's knife work has to reach the highest level, where the chef and the blade become one.
00:55:38Chef Mark's knife skills are recognized worldwide as elite.
00:55:42But only one person has ever truly mastered that level.
00:55:46The legendary culinary legend.
00:55:49I just don't know whether Sage can win this.
00:55:53Arrogant little fool.
00:55:58You, get up there and be Mark's partner.
00:56:01Boss, no.
00:56:02That's too dangerous.
00:56:03I have a wife and kids.
00:56:06Useless coward!
00:56:08Get up there or you're fired!
00:56:10I'll pay you triple!
00:56:32Sage, I'll be your partner.
00:56:34Jasper, no!
00:56:35It's too dangerous!
00:56:36One mistake could get you killed!
00:56:41I trust her.
00:56:54I'll keep my breathing steady.
00:56:56I won't throw you off.
00:56:59Relax.
00:57:01I won't let a cutting board this handsome get so much as a scratch.
00:57:15Begin!
00:57:25Oh, my God, he's so fast!
00:57:34I can barely see his hands moving.
00:57:37That's Chef Mark for you.
00:57:39He's practically a human potato slicing machine.
00:57:49No big thing!
00:57:55Fuck!
00:58:00Oh, my God, I just see your hands moving.
00:58:05I won't let you know.
00:58:09Don't let myppe escape!
00:58:10That's right!
00:58:12what on earth is she doing she's moving slower than a snail
00:58:18uncle rowan why would you send her up there i told you she's a nobody
00:58:23rowing you shouldn't have trusted her she's going to turn us into a laughing stock sage don't worry
00:58:30about me speed up the clock's running out i'll keep my breathing steady i won't interfere
00:58:47this is unbelievable rowan did you send her out there because you've already accepted you're
00:58:53going to lose no that's not what's happening here
00:59:08is she an idiot
00:59:12this round is about julienne cuts why is she turning in a whole potato
00:59:18miss i don't think you understood the challenge the potato was supposed to be cut into juliet strips
00:59:27i know the plate's simply too small for what i made
00:59:32you've got to be kidding how much space could one potato possibly take
00:59:36judge i think we can declare a winner already
00:59:42oh my god how did she do that
00:59:59this this is nothing short of a miracle
01:00:03how could some nobody possibly have knife skills like that
01:00:17remarkable absolutely remarkable this young lady used an exceptionally rare knife technique
01:00:24every cut was made at a perfectly measured interval alternating angles with flawless precision
01:00:30while never fully severing the potato only cutting about three quarters of the way through each time
01:00:38that's how a single potato was transformed into a net of this scale
01:00:43for this round the winner is vance restaurant
01:00:52we did it sage you did it you actually did it
01:00:59easy there
01:01:03if anyone deserves credit it's that ridiculously impressive cutting board of yours
01:01:11you useless idiot you lost to a woman a homeless woman
01:01:17no that's impossible
01:01:20i've only ever seen one chef use that knife technique
01:01:24who the hell are you
01:01:28that was a fluke
01:01:31enjoy it while you can
01:01:33in the next round
01:01:34i'm going to crush you
01:01:52round two
01:01:53seafood cuisine
01:01:54both teams please select your competing chef
01:02:02i'll admit it you've got some impressive knife skills but from here on out things won't be nearly so easy
01:02:10no way i'm not letting that homeless bum steal all the spotlight
01:02:15aunt elena i think my hands feeling better i can compete for vance restaurant
01:02:19really molly that's wonderful molly seafood is your thing this is your round rowan let molly handle round two she'll
01:02:28win this for us
01:02:29but mom you can't bench sage after what she just did that's not right jasper be
01:02:36realistic she'll be realistic she's a nobody this round is seafood she's probably never seen half these ingredients before exactly
01:02:41sage may have great knife
01:02:43skills but seafood cuisine is molly's field there's no comparison miss sage perhaps you should sit this round out
01:02:49dad mom i don't mind
01:02:51i don't mind but but molly one piece of advice that chef is far more dangerous than he looks
01:02:56be careful sage spare me the warning i graduated top of my class from the country's most prestigious culinary academy
01:03:04i don't need lessons in confidence from you
01:03:17hey scarface when it comes to cooking nobody beats me
01:03:21get ready to lose
01:03:23the second match is now beginning
01:03:26when you're handling lobster speed is everything
01:03:29crack the shell extract the meat
01:03:32move on
01:03:33and don't forget to stop by my restaurant
01:03:35if you want to taste real cooking
01:03:39that's gonna bring in a flood of customers
01:03:43her knife skills are solid
01:03:45unfortunately she's already lost
01:03:47sage
01:03:48what do you mean by that
01:03:50what are you talking about
01:03:52this match could decide whether vance restaurant survives
01:03:55and you're standing here predicting we'll lose
01:03:58she's just upset molly stole the spotlight
01:04:00this is nothing but a cry for attention
01:04:03miss sage why are you so certain molly will lose
01:04:05that's a live lobster
01:04:06rule number one never smash the head
01:04:09the brain digestive tract and bitter glands are all connected there
01:04:13the moment you crush it those glands rupture and contaminate the meat
01:04:17bitter fluid seep straight into the flesh
01:04:19once that happens the flavor is ruined at the source
01:04:22no chef can save it
01:04:23and when you force apart a live lobster like that
01:04:26the muscle fibers seize up instantly
01:04:28the meat turns tough
01:04:30the sweetness disappears and the texture is ruined
01:04:32she was so focused on speed that she destroyed the ingredient itself
01:04:36how could she possibly win
01:04:37but soup food is all about preserving the natural flavor
01:04:41doesn't that mean molly has already lost
01:04:44shut up street trash
01:04:46you've probably never even touched real seed before
01:04:49you're just making this up
01:04:50exactly she's just jealous molly's getting all the attention
01:04:53aunt elena don't let her fool you
01:04:56show some respect
01:04:57miss sage then what would the proper technique be
01:05:00first you gently press the head to calm the lobster's nervous system
01:05:04then you insert a skewer through the tail to drain it cleanly without disturbing the bitter glands
01:05:09just like that chef is doing
01:05:15he's actually massaging the lobster
01:05:17then you separate the head and body with a clean cut at the joint
01:05:21remove the shell without tearing the meat
01:05:23preserve the texture preserve the sweetness
01:05:25that's the most basic respect you can show the ingredients
01:05:28dammit molly's about to ring in
01:05:38you mishandled the lobster
01:05:40start over with a fresh one while you still have time

01:07:42Rowan have you finally gone senile
01:07:44Rowan have you finally gone senile
01:07:44the culinary world belongs to men
01:07:46and you think two women are going to win a death match
01:07:49women shouldn't be competing
01:07:51they should be washing dishes in the back
01:07:53didn't your mother bring you into this world
01:07:55wasn't your first meal fed to you by a woman
01:07:58or did you somehow raise yourself
01:08:02you
01:08:05clever mouth
01:08:06shame that doesn't win competitions
01:08:08my trump ball is about to walk through that door
01:08:11and when he does this match is over
01:08:13and once I acquire Vance restaurant
01:08:15I'll tear it down brick by brick
01:08:18and erase it from history
01:08:20Rowan your grandfather built this restaurant
01:08:23we can't lose it
01:08:26this round would have been ours if not for that bum
01:08:28Uncle Rowan let me take the final round
01:08:31I swear I'll give it everything I've got
01:08:33I swear I'll give it everything I've got
01:08:34I swear I'll give it everything I've got
01:08:34I swear I'll give it everything I've got
01:08:45Sage thank you
01:08:46Molly's dish was already compromised
01:08:48and someone tampered with it on top of that
01:08:50if the judges had eaten it
01:08:52and the substance had been discovered
01:08:54Vance restaurant have been finished
01:08:56you saved us
01:08:57don't mention it
01:08:58anyone would have done the same
01:09:17that's Chef Lucas
01:09:19the five time runner up of the World Caleri Championship
01:09:27well that's a familiar face
01:09:29we're finished
01:09:30that's Chef Lucas
01:09:31no one's ever beaten him
01:09:33except the culinary legend herself
01:09:36no
01:09:37if I go up against him I'll lose
01:09:39I forfeit
01:09:40Molly if you won't compete then who will represent Vance restaurant
01:09:44Aunt Elena this is your family's problem
01:09:46I'm not throwing myself into a match I can't win
01:09:49the Vance family's finished
01:09:50unless they somehow bring in the culinary legend
01:09:53nobody's beating Lucas
01:09:54and that's obviously
01:09:56not happening
01:10:10Rowan
01:10:10Molly won't compete
01:10:12we don't have anyone left
01:10:15Uncle Rowan
01:10:16it's not that we don't want to help
01:10:17you have no idea how terrifying Lucas is
01:10:20this match is unwinnable
01:10:22just concede
01:10:27Ms. Sage
01:10:28as the owner of Vance restaurant
01:10:30I'm asking you sincerely
01:10:31to represent us one more time
01:10:35please
01:10:39Uncle Rowan you're actually letting her compete?
01:10:42have you lost your mind?
01:10:43she's a homeless loser who got lucky
01:10:45there's no way her cooking is anywhere near Molly's level
01:10:48Rowan
01:10:49this is Vance restaurant's last chance
01:10:51are you really putting everything on her?
01:10:53no
01:10:54I think she may be the only chance we have
01:10:57you're giving her
01:10:59way too much credit
01:11:01she's a homeless loser!
01:11:04that's enough!
01:11:06let me make this perfectly clear for the last time
01:11:08Sage is my wife
01:11:10no one gets to insult her
01:11:12no one gets to look down on her
01:11:14Sage
01:11:16I don't care what anyone else says
01:11:17this is your choice
01:11:19if you want to compete
01:11:20I'll stand beside you
01:11:21if you don't
01:11:22we'll leave right now
01:11:23and don't worry about the restaurant
01:11:24even if we lose the restaurant
01:11:26I'll open another one somewhere else
01:11:28we'll start over if we have to
01:11:31I told you before
01:11:32I'm going to win this for you
01:11:35then I accept your request
01:11:44well look who's here
01:11:46you should consider it an honor to lose to me
01:11:48before today
01:11:49someone like you
01:11:51would never have been worthy of standing across from me
01:11:54you're mistaken
01:11:55I'm not your opponent
01:11:57it's her
01:12:03her aura
01:12:03reminds me of
01:12:05but that's impossible
01:12:06it can't be her
01:12:07it can't be that
01:12:09monster
01:12:13since both sides have selected their competing chefs
01:12:17the time has come
01:12:18let the third round begin
01:12:29welcome everyone to the moment you've all been waiting for
01:12:34round three
01:12:35the final round
01:12:36that will decide the outcome
01:12:38of the Vance restaurant
01:12:39versus Cyrus Potter culinary death match
01:12:44and now the format for our final round is
01:12:46mystery basket
01:12:47each chef will draw a set of ingredients from the box
01:12:50you'll then have 30 minutes to create a dish on the spot
01:12:54no substitutions
01:12:55no redraws
01:12:56and every ingredient you draw
01:12:58must be used
01:13:00mystery basket?
01:13:01that's the ultimate challenge
01:13:04the hardest format in competitive cuisines
01:13:07why is it considered the hardest?
01:13:09because the chef's going completely blind
01:13:11Wellington, souffles, those can be practiced hundreds of times
01:13:14mystery basket camp
01:13:15it's pure instinct, pure technique, pure talent
01:13:18Uncle Roe
01:13:20Lucas has competed in this format five times
01:13:23he knows mystery basket inside and out
01:13:26Sage barely knows any dishes
01:13:28you shouldn't have chosen her
01:13:30so she's just some amateur cook
01:13:32how did I ever mistake her for that woman?
01:13:36she's definitely gonna lose
01:13:39you should be honored kid
01:13:40losing to me is the highlight of your career
01:13:44is that so?
01:13:47chef's
01:13:48please make your draw
01:14:02chef Lucas has drawn
01:14:04squid, bell peppers, onion, and fresh asparagus
01:14:08congratulations, chef Lucas
01:14:11beautiful draw Lucas
01:14:13what a lucky break
01:14:14that's practically the perfect basket
01:14:16luck is part of the game kid
01:14:19if I were you I'd wash my hands before drawing
01:14:21get rid of some of that bad luck
01:14:22otherwise when you pull a nightmare basket
01:14:25don't accuse me of picking on the weak
01:14:36oh my
01:14:37our second basket contains
01:14:40live boston lobster, blue cheese, durian, dadgillisle greens, and arugula
01:14:46oh she's finished
01:14:47that's gotta be the worst mystery basket drive ever seen
01:14:50those ingredients don't even belong in the same dish
01:14:53boston lobster is one of the finest seafood ingredients in the world
01:14:57pairing it with pungent blue cheese and rich sweet durian creates a complete flavor clash
01:15:02Sage has been handed an impossible challenge
01:15:04Rowan you can still surrender gracefully
01:15:07otherwise you're about to watch that little street crat
01:15:10humiliate herself in front of the entire room
01:15:13Sage! I believe in you!
01:15:15you can do this!
01:15:30I know exactly what I'm making
01:15:32why did she just do that?
01:15:36that's exactly what she used to do
01:15:39that woman
01:15:40the one who crushed me
01:15:42every single time
01:15:44no matter how hard I fought
01:15:47time starts now
01:15:49chefs, you may begin
01:15:57it can't be her
01:15:58not here
01:15:59not like this
01:16:00it can't be her
01:16:01I'm letting old ghosts get in my head
01:16:27what an incredible knife look
01:16:30no wonder he's a five-time world championship runner-up
01:16:33this round's already over
01:16:34the Vance's don't stand a chance
01:16:42superb knife work
01:16:44elegant presentation
01:16:45and the flavor is absolutely flawless
01:16:48those ingredients fight each other at every level
01:16:51the flavors are completely incompatible
01:16:53no chef alive can make that basket work
01:16:57you've already lost
01:16:58Lucas is already finished
01:16:59why hasn't she even started cooking?
01:17:01don't tell me she gave up the second she saw that basket
01:17:03I said from day one she's bad luck
01:17:05she sabotaged Molly's dish on purpose
01:17:07she wants Vance restaurant to lose
01:17:09you humiliated me in front of everyone
01:17:12now let's see how you handle a basket like that
01:17:23one cut and the shell separated perfectly from the meat
01:17:26how is that even possible?
01:17:34how is it gonna be the Wein argued?
01:17:44how is it gonna be the one you tried to watch or have to press?
01:17:47wow
01:17:59it's just like it's a lot of portion of the idea
01:18:09the blue flame technique that's the culinary legend signature technique how do you know it
01:18:21absolutely incredible every ingredient's natural sweetness has been preserved to perfection
01:18:26the flavors that should have clashed somehow bring out the very best in one another this isn't just a
01:18:32great dish it's a masterpiece oh my god a nightmare it just got called a masterpiece
