00:08:13hey you pathetic
00:08:17self-important foodie
00:08:19I wonder if you're drooling yet
00:08:21oh
00:08:32shit
00:08:39I need my liquid nutrients
00:08:43oh
00:08:44Oh, the protein shakes are gone.
00:08:55I'll have to make do with something else.
00:08:59This looks pretty good.
00:09:01Weird, I'm actually tempted to try it.
00:09:06It's not that I want it, I'll try it.
00:09:08I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
00:09:14It smells pretty good.
00:09:26Ira?
00:09:28Are you there?
00:09:39Are you a sneaky cake burglar?
00:09:42I'm just taste testing.
00:09:44Well, I'm not stingy.
00:09:46You can have it, but you have to pay the cake tax.
00:09:57Get off me, you wet towel.
00:10:04Stuff to the brim.
00:10:05The foodie ate his way into an eating disorder?
00:10:15Alex, my heart is racing.
00:10:16What's happening to me?
00:10:17What a strange guy.
00:10:30Good night, Alex.
00:10:38She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:10:41Take advantage of me like that.
00:11:04What the heck was that for?
00:11:06Is it too late to apologize?
00:11:11Well, get out!
00:11:19Are you mad?
00:11:20We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:11:27It should be enough to lure out the culinary guru.
00:11:30Don't worry, sir.
00:11:32We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
00:11:35He'll be a judge, and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:11:39Don, I made a new dish.
00:11:46Please take it to your boss.
00:11:48But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:11:51Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
00:11:55He definitely won't be able to eat what you've made.
00:11:58You're still looking for the culinary guru?
00:12:00Boss is tough to heal.
00:12:01Only the culinary guru can help.
00:12:04We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize for the cook-off to lure him in.
00:12:09The lost ancient recipe?
00:12:10That's a great prize.
00:12:12My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:12:15You have a mentor?
00:12:19You have a mentor?
00:12:21Don't worry, Alex.
00:12:22I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:12:25You want to participate in the cooking competition?
00:12:28All the top chefs from the nation will be there.
00:12:31You should just forget about it.
00:12:33You'll be crushed.
00:12:34Just let me try.
00:12:35I can do it.
00:12:39Fine.
00:12:40Just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:12:44I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
00:12:47Great.
00:12:47I will show you what I can do.
00:12:52Did you hear?
00:12:53The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today.
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:58I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
00:13:01I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:13:04I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:13:09Alex's wife?
00:13:11That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:13:15I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick.
00:13:20Look!
00:13:23I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now.
00:13:43Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:13:45Oh, don't be fooled by their current glamour.
00:13:49I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
00:13:52Otherwise, he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru.
00:13:56Alex owns a food empire.
00:13:59If they could find culinary guru and cure him, it would only benefit that hick Ira.
00:14:04No way.
00:14:05I have to win Alex back.
00:14:08What's in those jars?
00:14:11Those are called spices.
00:14:14You're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:14:17You know nothing, country bumpkin.
00:14:22Oh, those are just flashy things.
00:14:24The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart.
00:14:28It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:14:31Despite her usual unreliable demeanor, she actually has her own insights about food.
00:14:36You clueless hick, don't pretend to know anything.
00:14:41There can only be one big winner tonight, and that's me.
00:14:46Ira's right.
00:14:47A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:14:50I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:14:52Well, hold on.
00:14:53It's not that bad.
00:14:54You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:14:59If you were for the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness,
00:15:03I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:15:14Master Blake!
00:15:15We all admire you greatly.
00:15:20Master Blake.
00:15:21Still no news of the culinary guru?
00:15:23My master's gone into seclusion with the junior apprentice,
00:15:26and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:15:29Blake!
00:15:30Hi, Ira.
00:15:31Long time no see.
00:15:33What are you doing here?
00:15:34How do you two know each other?
00:15:38Blake, the competition's about to start.
00:15:40The host is calling for you.
00:15:44Alex, don't worry.
00:15:46I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
00:15:53Oh, of course I know him.
00:15:58What could happen?
00:16:00People meet every day.
00:16:01Ladies and gentlemen, today's winner will receive an ancient lobster recipe and a Vip Fancy Pink Diamond from the Thompson family.
00:16:14The competition officially begins.
00:16:16There's only one room.
00:16:17Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish wins.
00:16:22I suggest you back down now, before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:16:30The pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
00:16:35What's she doing?
00:16:36I need a big pot.
00:16:42Um, sure.
00:16:44No problem.
00:16:45Behind you.
00:16:53What a unique cooking method.
00:16:57Ira, what are you doing?
00:16:59You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:17:01I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
00:17:05Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
00:17:18Just as I thought.
00:17:19Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:17:25Can't even handle the basics.
00:17:28Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
00:17:31What's she doing?
00:17:35No seasonings?
00:17:36Hilarious.
00:17:37She's out for sure.
00:17:43Awful.
00:17:45Trash.
00:17:46This is an assault on my senses.
00:17:50Could there be a twist?
00:17:53Is Alex going to taste it?
00:17:55Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
00:18:01Will this dish impress?
00:18:05Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:18:14Alex, this dish seems different.
00:18:17Seems like you're savoring it.
00:18:19Totally flavorless.
00:18:24It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:18:26I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:18:29For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:18:32I'm dizzy.
00:18:37Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
00:18:42Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
00:18:45Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
00:18:49Chaotic stew.
00:18:51Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:18:53This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
00:18:56I really overestimated Ira.
00:19:00Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either.
00:19:03Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:19:06You guys don't understand.
00:19:08My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
00:19:10Ira, stop.
00:19:19You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:19:21What's that?
00:19:23This familiar allure.
00:19:25I even want to try this ugly dish.
00:19:28What's happening?
00:19:29Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:19:32If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
00:19:36But I really want to try it.
00:19:40I really want to try it.
00:20:10So, please hold me aside.
00:20:11I really want to try it.
00:20:12I do want to try it.
00:20:13Listen to me.
00:20:14You want to try it.
00:20:16I play it.
00:20:17You want to try it.
00:20:20You want to try it.
00:20:22I am nectar still.
00:20:23I love it.
00:20:24I love it.
00:20:25�� Pollock.
00:20:26I love it.
00:20:27I love it.
00:20:28I am Belgium in here.
00:20:30I love it.
00:20:31I love it.
00:20:33I love it.
00:20:35I love it.
00:20:37I love it.
00:20:38You
00:20:44Alex is as picky as a toddler. I'd finally made something he was willing to try and then he fainted
00:20:50Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door. You're not looking healthy
00:20:56Isn't he a handful?
00:20:58All right
00:20:59One more shot
00:21:01The stew you made at the competition?
00:21:03Stay putt. I'll cure you
00:21:08What? Where's my seasonings easy there Ira you can still do it. It will just take a bit more time
00:21:21No, the boss is fainted again. Where's the dish ready?
00:21:26Again seriously one sec
00:21:30Strange hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger
00:21:33It's just a little booboo who needs the culinary guru hang tight Alex
00:21:48I brought you the stew
00:21:52Ira you're late Alex had my dish and is back on his feet
00:21:57Oh, really the dish that made him faint at the competition. I gotta try it
00:22:03You did eat my stuff, right?
00:22:07Yeah, thanks for that
00:22:10Ira get over here. No. Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:22:14So you do care Alex? No, it's not like that. Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew
00:22:19I don't want blood in my food. Forget that old stew. I'll take care of you and I can fix your eating problem
00:22:26Only food from the culinary guru counts. Everything else is trash
00:22:30You
00:22:32I can pay you
00:22:34I'm not after money
00:22:36If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife
00:22:38Ditch Ira
00:22:40And let's get married
00:22:44Marrying Alex means all his money is mine
00:22:46Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex
00:22:48That fortune is mine
00:22:50Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:22:52Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:22:54Not your business
00:23:00Vaughn, give me a band-aid
00:23:06Alex promised to share his inheritance with me
00:23:10Do it yourself
00:23:12Hello?
00:23:14Hello, my dear apprentice
00:23:16I just got my phone and called you
00:23:18How are you?
00:23:20I miss you, my dear
00:23:22I thought I might come for a visit
00:23:24Awesome, my mentor is coming to visit
00:23:26Robert, I need backup
00:23:28I married this rich guy Alex Thompson
00:23:30And now my stepsister is after him and his money
00:23:34What are you talking about?
00:23:36I'm not after money
00:23:38Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:23:40Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole
00:23:42Why do you care what he thinks?
00:23:44Maybe you should worry about your own problems
00:23:50Great news, your appetite issues are about to be fixed
00:23:54With me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine
00:23:58Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:24:00Actually, it's culinary guru
00:24:02Really? Where is he?
00:24:04I've contacted Master
00:24:06He's coming to help you
00:24:10I need to win Alex over before he arrives
00:24:14She hung up on me
00:24:16I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line
00:24:18Wait a minute
00:24:20Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder that Blake asked me to treat?
00:24:34Oh
00:24:36Oh my dear apprentice
00:24:38I'm on my way
00:24:42Think they can kick me to the curb just because they found a culinary guru?
00:24:50Where'd I ever get this stuff anyway?
00:24:52It actually got Alex to eat my food
00:24:56But it's mine now
00:24:58Once Alex drinks this love potion
00:25:00He's all mine
00:25:10Try my soup while it's still hot
00:25:12How's it with the culinary guru?
00:25:16Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
00:25:18It's Ira's shit
00:25:20That's a stretch
00:25:22I could get used to it
00:25:24Since you could finally eat
00:25:26Let me feed you
00:25:28Let me feed you
00:25:29I got this
00:25:30Thanks
00:25:31Come on, don't push me away
00:25:32What's wrong with you?
00:25:33And why is it so hot in here?
00:25:36Seriously, Evelyn? Get off
00:25:38Feeling warm?
00:25:40Let me help
00:25:41Alex, something's off with the culinary guru
00:25:47You hear?
00:25:49This is how you help?
00:25:55I gotta see this
00:25:58Get lost
00:26:10Feeling better already, huh?
00:26:11She calls that help
00:26:13And you just watched me get groped
00:26:24My heart
00:26:25Am I sick too?
00:26:26Alex, you're burning up
00:26:28Can I help?
00:26:29Yeah
00:26:30I...
00:26:31I could use your help
00:26:41Hey, what the hell?
00:26:42Well, you were overheating
00:26:44You must have a fever
00:26:45I thought it might cool you down
00:26:47Did it work?
00:26:48Ira, you were such a dork
00:26:54Damn it, Ira, you ruined my game
00:26:56Seriously, you're such an idiot
00:26:58You too, John?
00:27:00Alex, guess what?
00:27:01I met the culinary guru
00:27:03He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice
00:27:07My master listens to me
00:27:08I would make the right choice
00:27:09Are you threatening me?
00:27:11Are you threatening me?
00:27:13With an apprentice like you
00:27:14That culinary guru must be a joke
00:27:17If I don't sweet talk Alex into marrying me
00:27:19I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up
00:27:22Alex, marry me
00:27:24And I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you
00:27:26Not a chance
00:27:28Is Ira finally waking up?
00:27:31Wait, Alex tossed her dish at the competition
00:27:34What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:27:39The reasoning Alex could eat
00:27:41That was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest
00:27:44Could it be?
00:27:46She's his apprentice!
00:27:48Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
00:27:51Why do you keep asking me that?
00:27:53I don't know any culinary guru
00:27:55So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice
00:27:58And she doesn't even realize it
00:27:59Well, maybe I can put that to use
00:28:01Alex, how long can you wait?
00:28:03Don't you care about your health?
00:28:06Hands off the inheritance
00:28:10Who's picking on my apprentice?
00:28:13Is that her mentor?
00:28:15Mentor?
00:28:16This be a culinary guru?
00:28:18Robert, you're here!
00:28:20Great to see you, kid
00:28:22I've missed you tons
00:28:28Nice digs you got here, kid
00:28:30You landed a top to your husband, didn't you?
00:28:32I can't believe you're finally here
00:28:33I've missed you heaps
00:28:35The culinary guru is here
00:28:39Everyone?
00:28:40Me, Chef Robert McFombay
00:28:42This guy?
00:28:43No way he's the world famous culinary guru
00:28:46He's as basic as Ira
00:28:47I read
00:28:48Bringing in some random grandpa
00:28:50Just drags down Alex's reputation
00:28:53Shut the fuck up, Evelyn
00:28:55Don't insult my mentor
00:28:57Let this queen twat yap
00:29:00This is her only talent
00:29:02Who are you calling twat?
00:29:04Old coon?
00:29:06I am the culinary guru's apprentice
00:29:09One phone call and I'll snuff you both out
00:29:12The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:29:15Funny
00:29:17Never heard of you
00:29:21Please, people like you
00:29:24From the middle of nowhere wouldn't know a celebrity
00:29:27If you sat down right in front of you
00:29:28Enough, Evelyn
00:29:30Apologize to my mentor
00:29:32What's so funny, old coot?
00:29:35You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice
00:29:38Why not prove it?
00:29:40With a cook-off with my apprentice
00:29:43I just won the culinary championship
00:29:47Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
00:29:50Last time you already lost
00:29:52I was out last time
00:29:54So that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you
00:29:57Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude
00:30:00Threatening Alex with your cooking
00:30:02Let's just see who says she actually wants a taste
00:30:04Ira, get real
00:30:06If Alex could stomach your food
00:30:08He would've by now
00:30:10We'll see
00:30:18With my secret sauce
00:30:19Let's see you stand a chance, Ira
00:30:22Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
00:30:30Oh no! Your fish! It's burning!
00:30:32What?!
00:30:38You sly old man
00:30:41Learn from me and you might succeed
00:30:43Copy me and you're going down
00:30:45Let's see you beat Ira now
00:30:47Without my special blend
00:30:50Alex will love this little kid food
00:30:54Burn, baby, burn
00:30:57All set
00:30:59Just need my turkey
00:31:05What the hell?
00:31:07Burn?
00:31:09No time to fix this now
00:31:19What?
00:31:21Honey?
00:31:22Facebook
00:31:23A blog
00:31:24I have no idea
00:31:25Hello you
00:31:35Alright, good
00:31:36See you again
00:31:37Can you talk to her?
00:31:38Here we go
00:31:41There's a reporter
00:31:43The director of the
00:31:45I didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big.
00:32:01Face it, Alex, she's all talk.
00:32:03Not marriage material.
00:32:05Who says I didn't finish?
00:32:08Just...
00:32:08What?
00:32:09Just hold your horses.
00:32:12Stop stalling, Ira.
00:32:13You miss the deadline, you lose.
00:32:17I'm the one who deserves that ring.
00:32:20Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:32:23Ira, when did I ever say...
00:32:25Just...
00:32:25Alex, just try this.
00:32:28When I win, Ira's out and the title's mine for good.
00:32:31Go on, Alex, dig in.
00:32:33Let's hear the verdict.
00:32:39Fuck!
00:32:43Hey, you good, boss?
00:32:47That is the worst slap I have ever tasted.
00:32:51What the hell?
00:32:53What did you put in that?
00:32:55It's triggering his eating disorder!
00:32:57Impossible!
00:32:58My spices are perfect.
00:33:00Someone must have messed with them.
00:33:02Evelyn, really?
00:33:04You're calling this yours?
00:33:07That's mine.
00:33:07I couldn't find it at the competition.
00:33:09So you take it.
00:33:13Wait, this is ours.
00:33:16You're a thief.
00:33:17No, no.
00:33:18Alex, you have to believe me.
00:33:19Vaughn, get...
00:33:20Kick her out.
00:33:21Alex, just give me one more shot.
00:33:23I can whip up something amazing.
00:33:25Get lost.
00:33:27This can't be happening!
00:33:35Get that away from me.
00:33:36I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:33:3825 Oak Street.
00:33:45Yes, we have an emergency.
00:33:46Chronic eating disorder.
00:33:48Yes, we need help right away!
00:33:50Hang tight.
00:33:51My dish is almost done.
00:33:52Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
00:33:56Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:33:58So if the culinary guru doesn't show,
00:34:01you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:34:03You know, Irish cooking has certainly surpassed mine.
00:34:10You gotta try it.
00:34:11It's a flavor journey, man.
00:34:13I can't trust anyone anymore.
00:34:15Eating garbage every day.
00:34:17Just take me now.
00:34:22Alex, since you wanted a divorce,
00:34:24shall we figure out what happens next?
00:34:26Who talked about a divorce?
00:34:28I'm on my last legs here.
00:34:30Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:34:31Weird.
00:34:33I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:34:37What's that noise?
00:34:40No need for the hospital.
00:34:42Huh?
00:34:42My roast chicken is ready.
00:34:52Here, Alex.
00:34:53Chow down.
00:34:56Guess your fortune is mine.
00:34:58Forget about him, Myra.
00:34:59Let's dig in.
00:35:01Man, that smells amazing.
00:35:05Try a piece.
00:35:08Butter.
00:35:09So sad my boss can't eat nothing.
00:35:18Boss, it's the best food ever.
00:35:20You really gotta try some.
00:35:22Please.
00:35:22Told you.
00:35:24Iris got skills.
00:35:25You can talk all you want.
00:35:26This world's food has burned me too many times.
00:35:29I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:35:32Do all husbands not trust their wives?
00:35:34Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:35:36Well, what are you after?
00:35:37Pretty boy?
00:35:38A handsome guy?
00:35:40I've got connections.
00:35:41I've got connections.
00:35:42I've got connections.
00:35:43Oh.
00:35:43Well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:35:48How was Heaven treating you?
00:35:55Fine.
00:35:56One more shot.
00:35:56But remember, I'm a food critic.
00:36:00I'll be keeping it real.
00:36:02No sugar coming.
00:36:05If you want some, help yourself.
00:36:08What are you waiting for, a butler?
00:36:10What?
00:36:27Iris cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
00:36:31Boss is eating.
00:36:32I've got to tell Lady Linda.
00:36:34Ira, what is your connection to the culinary guru?
00:36:38Why do you keep asking that?
00:36:40I don't know a culinary guru.
00:36:42He's probably just a scammer.
00:36:49Get over it already.
00:36:51But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
00:36:55And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic, I've got to admit, it's legit.
00:37:01Oh, well, Robert made that one.
00:37:08Yeah, uh, sorry, I forgot to say.
00:37:12I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:37:14I'm the culinary guru.
00:37:19What?
00:37:21And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
00:37:25Why didn't you tell us sooner?
00:37:33Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
00:37:36Ira, I didn't know you actually cared about me.
00:37:41Well, you're such a picky eater.
00:37:43You had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
00:37:47So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
00:37:50Boss, you're eating again!
00:37:58We're in the clear for the food court project!
00:38:03Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
00:38:04You've got to try it.
00:38:06Another review session?
00:38:07As your test subject.
00:38:08You know, I have my pride, too.
00:38:11Why are you acting so serious?
00:38:17What's this mess?
00:38:20You know, I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:38:23So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
00:38:27I sure do!
00:38:40I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:38:46Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:38:50Why is my face so hot?
00:38:58Why is my face so hot?
00:38:58Oh crap, I ruined it!
00:39:15My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
00:39:19I must be cursed.
00:39:20No way, I'm out of here.
00:39:22Oh, I love this suit. It's so nice.
00:39:32Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
00:39:39So who's this?
00:39:43Hi, I'm Gina.
00:39:46Ira, who said you were leaving?
00:39:47You know what? I might stick around.
00:39:52Hi, what's the hurry?
00:40:03Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
00:40:06No.
00:40:09Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:40:12Oh, really? I don't believe it.
00:40:15Grandma, who is she?
00:40:16I don't buy it either.
00:40:18She's just acting sweet.
00:40:20She's Alex's first crush.
00:40:22The one that left him to study abroad.
00:40:25Without a thought.
00:40:27Gina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:40:36Missed you all these years.
00:40:38I came back because my heart belongs to you.
00:40:42Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
00:40:45I know I blew it before.
00:40:49I put my plans before us and threw away everything that we had, but I'm here.
00:40:55I'm willing to throw away all my pride, whatever it takes.
00:40:58Just say I'll give it one more chance.
00:41:00Gina, you left him with nothing but a letter.
00:41:03I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
00:41:07And now you're back.
00:41:08What's the point?
00:41:09Alex, I came back for us.
00:41:11Alex, I've never forgotten about us.
00:41:13After all these years, I know you still feel it too.
00:41:17You haven't forgotten what we had.
00:41:20Let's just give it another shot.
00:41:28Oh, God.
00:41:29Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:41:33Let's go.
00:41:35Alex!
00:41:36Gina, I'm married now.
00:41:38Just go.
00:41:42Ow!
00:41:43Oh!
00:41:44Oh!
00:41:45Oh!
00:41:46Oh my ankle, I twisted it!
00:41:59I twisted it, it hurts!
00:42:21Oh, Alex, put the ointment on it like you're used to.
00:42:25I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
00:42:29I'll take care of it.
00:42:30Oh, okay.
00:42:34Ow!
00:42:35Ow!
00:42:36Ow!
00:42:37Ira's acting all weird.
00:42:40Is she finally feeling jealous?
00:42:48No, Frank.
00:42:50She's totally faking it.
00:42:51Oh, easy!
00:42:58You're crushing me!
00:43:00Oh, you're fine.
00:43:01But this time, I'm going to make sure it really hurts.
00:43:05Ow!
00:43:07Ow!
00:43:12Ira, where are you going?
00:43:19Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:43:20Alex's ex is back in town.
00:43:26Better keep your eye out.
00:43:27Alex is my husband.
00:43:29I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
00:43:31Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
00:43:34Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
00:43:38Got your work cut out for you.
00:43:39Body, she's got your beard.
00:43:42Looks.
00:43:43She's classy, you're comfy.
00:43:45She's got her degree and you're still learning.
00:43:49Personality, she's sweet.
00:43:52You're hungry.
00:43:54Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
00:43:56Guys, don't forget that.
00:44:01Well, crap.
00:44:02I guess I don't stand a chance.
00:44:04Alex, well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
00:44:08You were there for him and helped him through his eating disorder.
00:44:13You were there when he needed you.
00:44:14I've got to cook something good.
00:44:18There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:44:23Poor kid.
00:44:25She's got it bad and doesn't even know it.
00:44:28Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:44:32Really?
00:44:34No second chance for me.
00:44:35Gina, I'm taken.
00:44:40Take care.
00:44:49Hi, it's Ira.
00:44:51Sorry I missed your call.
00:44:52Leave a message.
00:44:53Where's Ira?
00:44:55I was just dodging my calls.
00:44:59It must be Ira.
00:45:01Time to see if she's jealous.
00:45:05Got it, Alex.
00:45:09I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:45:11Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:45:13Cheers to your next chapter.
00:45:19Hmm.
00:45:28Are you alright?
00:45:29Here, let me help you.
00:45:35Oh, Alex.
00:45:42We have so much to...
00:45:43Catch up on after all this time.
00:46:08Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:46:10Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
00:46:23What do you think we should do?
00:46:25Get off.
00:46:27Ira!
00:46:30Alex.
00:46:32Gina, seriously?
00:46:34You drugged my drink.
00:46:36That's low even for you.
00:46:38Alex, no.
00:46:39Come on.
00:46:39Get off.
00:46:43You're going to regret this.
00:46:52Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
00:46:55You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:46:58Well done, Gina.
00:47:01Alex.
00:47:02Remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
00:47:06This time, I'm going to wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
00:47:11We need top quality ingredients for this project, or...
00:47:14I got it.
00:47:15I don't know, you've reminded me of something, besides the apprentice of culinary grower.
00:47:20Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:47:23I'm going back.
00:47:24I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:47:26Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
00:47:31Absolutely.
00:47:32You'll get your cut.
00:47:35Alex, I gave you a chance.
00:47:37Alex, this is all on you.
00:47:49She blocked me.
00:47:51What, is she a teenager?
00:47:54Boss?
00:47:55We've got a problem.
00:47:56That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
00:47:59We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week,
00:48:01and word is we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:48:04Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:48:07Okay.
00:48:08Get on it.
00:48:09Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:48:17Hot off the press,
00:48:19KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group,
00:48:23leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City Project.
00:48:28Could this be the beginning of the end for KL group?
00:48:31Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
00:48:34So what?
00:48:35He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:48:37Yeah, I guess.
00:48:39Alex has yesterday's news.
00:48:40I'm going to go cook.
00:48:45Is it really that bad?
00:48:47Do you think about helping Alex?
00:48:49No.
00:48:53After the judges voting,
00:48:57the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are
00:49:00KL group and
00:49:01Snow group.
00:49:05All right, folks.
00:49:07It's time for round two,
00:49:09where we invite our star Michelin-starred chefs to the plate
00:49:12to create their magnum opuses.
00:49:14Let's get things started with Snow group.
00:49:17Please give her a warm welcome, folks.
00:49:19Thank you, Alex.
00:49:26Gina.
00:49:29Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
00:49:33Gina's been on my side the entire time.
00:49:35All that talk of you two getting back together,
00:49:38just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
00:49:42Alex,
00:49:44I gave you a chance.
00:49:45When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients,
00:49:52I swore I was going to bring you down.
00:49:55Your character is just like your ingredients.
00:49:58Rotten on the inside and out.
00:50:01Keep talking tough, Alex.
00:50:03But where are you now?
00:50:04No head chef.
00:50:07No culinary genius.
00:50:09I'm going to snatch that project
00:50:11you've been drooling over.
00:50:12And then,
00:50:13I'm going to watch KL group crumble.
00:50:18Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:20now we have the lovely Miss Gina
00:50:22ready to present her dish.
00:50:24KL group,
00:50:25it's your turn to step up.
00:50:28What's going on?
00:50:29Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
00:50:31It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
00:50:33Paul's right now.
00:50:35I don't have to hold on chef.
00:50:37I don't have a little arrow right here.
00:50:38Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
00:50:40Even if you squeak by the first round,
00:50:42you've got no one for the second.
00:50:48She's got me all wrong,
00:50:50and I don't think she's coming back.
00:50:52This misunderstanding is too deep.
00:51:03Since we have no one from KL group to compete,
00:51:22I hereby announce that the winner is
00:51:32Snow!
00:51:34Wait a minute!
00:51:38Alex, I'm back.
00:51:43What's the score?
00:51:45We're toast.
00:51:46I thought Gina was your ace.
00:51:48Guess she's not cutting it, huh?
00:51:50It's not like that with her and me.
00:51:52And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
00:51:54So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
00:51:57Ira,
00:51:58nothing happened with her.
00:52:00I will represent the KL group.
00:52:02I'll take Gina on myself.
00:52:05Aren't we expecting to see
00:52:07Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
00:52:09Are you really in that league?
00:52:11No, I'm not.
00:52:12How can she compete
00:52:14when she doesn't have any credentials,
00:52:16especially against Gina?
00:52:17I mean,
00:52:18she has royal chef status.
00:52:21Royal chef?
00:52:22Never heard of it.
00:52:24I was trained by the culinary guru, though,
00:52:25if that means anything.
00:52:28But the culinary guru
00:52:30hasn't been around for ages.
00:52:32And besides,
00:52:33Gina,
00:52:33she trained with the sea guru Robert.
00:52:36She said she trained with them?
00:52:37I mean, what?
00:52:39Wait.
00:52:40You're the culinary...
00:52:42guru's apprentice?
00:52:45So Stephen stole all of Alex's chefs.
00:52:48Well,
00:52:49I may not be Michelin-starred status,
00:52:51but
00:52:51I have what it takes
00:52:52to represent the KL group.
00:52:54Why do you think
00:52:55you can represent KL?
00:52:57Because I'm his wife.
00:52:58That's why.
00:53:01Ira,
00:53:01you're a lifesaver.
00:53:04Let's see what you cook up.
00:53:06I'll give it a try
00:53:09and we'll see
00:53:10who takes the crown.
00:53:12And who are you,
00:53:13old man?
00:53:15What makes you think
00:53:15you're in charge here?
00:53:17He's Alan Ducasse,
00:53:19president of the DuPont group,
00:53:20the project's big cheese.
00:53:25He's definitely the one
00:53:27with the final say.
00:53:27Sir,
00:53:30this is the dish
00:53:31from Snow Group.
00:53:36Rich
00:53:37and aromatic.
00:53:38Like you're
00:53:39basking in a warm
00:53:41Mediterranean sun.
00:53:42I created this
00:53:44with the combined efforts
00:53:45of three
00:53:46top chefs.
00:53:47So good luck
00:53:48beating that,
00:53:49Ira.
00:53:50You may be the culinary guru's
00:53:51apprentice,
00:53:52but that doesn't mean
00:53:53that you can outshine
00:53:53the work of four of us
00:53:55combined.
00:53:55Seriously,
00:54:02you think you
00:54:03compete with something
00:54:04so simple
00:54:05and rough?
00:54:06This is what the
00:54:07culinary guru's
00:54:09apprentice comes up with?
00:54:10It's so
00:54:10inelegant.
00:54:12You don't understand.
00:54:13A chef who can't cook
00:54:14with pure ingredients
00:54:15will never make
00:54:16the best food.
00:54:19Ira's right.
00:54:20A chef who relies
00:54:21only on spices
00:54:22is a one-trick pony.
00:54:24I'd rather just
00:54:24drink my protein shake.
00:54:25What's up with Alan?
00:54:38Why isn't he saying
00:54:38anything?
00:54:40Do you think
00:54:41the stuff is that bad?
00:54:42It must be terrible.
00:54:43Mr. Alan's in tears.
00:54:45No one asked
00:54:46your opinion.
00:54:47Mr. Alan,
00:54:48how does it taste?
00:54:49My dream
00:54:53since I was young
00:54:54was to taste
00:54:55the best food
00:54:56in the world.
00:54:57I never guessed
00:54:58I would do it
00:54:59today.
00:55:00I've waited
00:55:0130 years
00:55:02for this dish.
00:55:04I declare
00:55:04the KL group
00:55:06led by Alex
00:55:07winner.
00:55:08This isn't fair!
00:55:10I use the best,
00:55:11most expensive
00:55:11ingredients
00:55:12for my dish!
00:55:13How can
00:55:13plain scrambled eggs
00:55:14beat that?
00:55:15If all they care
00:55:16about is chasing
00:55:17fancy and extravagant,
00:55:19that is not what
00:55:19the project needs.
00:55:21Snow group
00:55:21doesn't cut it.
00:55:24Just wait, Alex.
00:55:25I'm gonna make
00:55:25you pay!
00:55:29Ira, you
00:55:29crushed it!
00:55:30Food City Project
00:55:31is ours!
00:55:32I told you
00:55:32I could do it!
00:55:34Miss Ira,
00:55:35I have to know,
00:55:37what were you
00:55:38thinking while
00:55:39you were whipping
00:55:39those eggs
00:55:40that came so delicious?
00:55:42I guess I was
00:55:43just thinking
00:55:44about someone
00:55:45special.
00:55:48Miss Ira,
00:55:50sounds like
00:55:51you have it
00:55:52for that person.
00:55:55Alex,
00:56:04you promised
00:56:05me a surprise.
00:56:07What is it?
00:56:08Ira,
00:56:09thanks for
00:56:10everything
00:56:10in this competition.
00:56:12This is a
00:56:13family heirloom
00:56:14meant
00:56:15for Mrs. Thompson.
00:56:17So Ira,
00:56:18will you be mine
00:56:20forever?
00:56:25stay forever?
00:56:30That sounds
00:56:31boring.
00:56:32I haven't even
00:56:33explored the world
00:56:33yet.
00:56:34I guess I can't
00:56:35keep the bracelet,
00:56:35huh?
00:56:40Ira, do you not
00:56:41get it,
00:56:41or are you
00:56:42just messing
00:56:43with me?
00:56:43Hey, Alex,
00:56:49what's up?
00:56:50You called for me?
00:56:52I have two gifts
00:56:53for you.
00:56:56Here's a card
00:56:57with half my fortune.
00:56:59Take it as a thank you.
00:57:03Alex,
00:57:04you're the best.
00:57:04I love cash.
00:57:05Now I can buy
00:57:06all the ingredients
00:57:07I want and travel
00:57:08anywhere.
00:57:10Ira,
00:57:10I like you.
00:57:12I want to take
00:57:13our relationship
00:57:13to the next level.
00:57:14What do you think?
00:57:15How do you feel
00:57:15about me?
00:57:16Um,
00:57:19you certainly
00:57:20have the money
00:57:21and you let me
00:57:21prove my cooking
00:57:22abilities.
00:57:23You really have
00:57:24made all my dreams
00:57:25come true.
00:57:26Ira,
00:57:27you want out,
00:57:28right?
00:57:30I'll give you
00:57:30the money
00:57:31and the freedom
00:57:32you want.
00:57:35Here's a divorce
00:57:35agreement.
00:57:37Let's end this.
00:57:46Ira,
00:57:48sign this
00:57:49and you're free.
00:57:50I'm leaving
00:57:51the country
00:57:52after it's done.
00:57:53Take care.
00:57:54I just remembered
00:57:56something.
00:58:09What does Alex mean?
00:58:16Why can't I
00:58:18stop thinking
00:58:19about him?
00:58:22Hmm.
00:58:25Why was I
00:58:26thinking about
00:58:27Alex all night?
00:58:28Alex seemed
00:58:29off yesterday.
00:58:31Maybe I should
00:58:32cheer him up
00:58:32when I see him.
00:58:33Oh, crap.
00:58:34I never signed
00:58:35the divorce papers.
00:58:36How do I bring
00:58:37that up?
00:58:42Where's Alex?
00:58:43It feels weird
00:58:44not seeing him
00:58:45around.
00:58:46Okay.
00:58:48Grandma,
00:58:49where's Alex?
00:58:50Oh, Alex,
00:58:51he's at the airport
00:58:52about to jet off.
00:58:54Congrats, honey.
00:58:55You'll finally be free.
00:58:57No more Alex
00:58:58to nag you.
00:58:59What?
00:59:08Boss,
00:59:08the plane's boarding.
00:59:10It looks like
00:59:10she's not coming.
00:59:12She didn't even
00:59:12bother to show up.
00:59:16like I can.
00:59:18Vaughn,
00:59:19let's go home.
00:59:24Alex!
00:59:24I can't stand the thought
00:59:31of losing you.
00:59:31Ira,
00:59:35if I stay,
00:59:36you'll end up leaving.
00:59:37You want your freedom
00:59:38and you don't love me.
00:59:40I can't be selfish
00:59:41and keep you trapped
00:59:42in this marriage.
00:59:43I don't want you to leave.
00:59:44Why not?
00:59:45Because,
00:59:46because when I'm not with you,
00:59:50you're all I think about.
00:59:53Alex,
00:59:53you asked me how I felt
00:59:55and I finally know
00:59:56I love you.
01:00:03Ira,
01:00:04I love you too.
01:00:18I'm not finding this.
01:00:20That's not real.
01:00:21What doesn't matter?
01:00:23Huh?
01:00:39No, Fran.
01:00:40She's totally faking it.
01:00:42I don't know if I'm going to do it.
01:00:47Ow!
01:00:48Easy!
01:00:49You're crushing me!
01:00:50Oh, you're fine.
01:00:51But this time,
01:00:52I'm going to make sure
01:00:53it really hurts.
01:00:55Ow!
01:00:56Ow!
01:00:57Ow!
01:01:02Ira!
01:01:03Where are you going?
01:01:04Where are you going?
01:01:09Ira,
01:01:09you look like
01:01:10you lost your puppy.
01:01:11Alex's ex is back in town.
01:01:16Better keep your eye out.
01:01:18Alex is my husband.
01:01:19I'm not letting anyone
01:01:20take his fortune.
01:01:21Yeah,
01:01:22where a guy's heart goes,
01:01:23the wallet soon follows.
01:01:25Well,
01:01:25then I'll make sure
01:01:26Alex loves me.
01:01:28Got your work cut out for you.
01:01:30Body,
01:01:30she's got your beat.
01:01:32Looks.
01:01:33She's classy.
01:01:34You're comfy.
01:01:35She's got her degree
01:01:37and you're still learning.
01:01:39personality.
01:01:41She's sweet.
01:01:42You're hungry.
01:01:45Don't forget
01:01:45she's Alex's first love.
01:01:47Guys,
01:01:48don't forget that.
01:01:52Well,
01:01:52crap!
01:01:53I guess I don't stand a chance.
01:01:55Well,
01:01:56you got one ace up your sleeve.
01:01:58You were there for him
01:01:59and helped him
01:02:00through his
01:02:01eating disorders.
01:02:02You were there
01:02:04when he needed you.
01:02:06I've got to cook
01:02:07something good.
01:02:08There's no way
01:02:09I'm letting go
01:02:09of that fortune.
01:02:13Poor kid.
01:02:15She's got it bad
01:02:16and doesn't even know it.
01:02:18Thinks it's all
01:02:19about the cash.
01:02:20really no second chance
01:02:25for me.
01:02:27Gina,
01:02:28I'm taken.
01:02:30Take care.
01:02:30Hi,
01:02:40it's Ira.
01:02:41Sorry I missed your call.
01:02:42Leave a message.
01:02:43Where's Ira?
01:02:46It's just dodging
01:02:46my calls.
01:02:49It must be Ira.
01:02:50Time to see
01:02:52if she's jealous.
01:02:58Got it, Alex.
01:02:59I'll be leaving tomorrow.
01:03:01Let's have this drink
01:03:01as a farewell.
01:03:03Cheers to your next chapter.
01:03:09Hmm.
01:03:18Are you alright?
01:03:19Here,
01:03:20let me help you.
01:03:30Oh, Alex.
01:03:32We have so much
01:03:33to catch up on
01:03:34after all this time.
01:03:37Alex,
01:03:38you have to try
01:03:39my new dish.
01:03:39Alex,
01:03:49Ira left
01:03:50because she's upset
01:03:51with us.
01:03:51what do you think
01:03:53we should do?
01:03:54Get off.
01:03:56Ira!
01:03:58Alex.
01:04:01Gina,
01:04:01seriously?
01:04:02You drugged my drink.
01:04:04That's low
01:04:05even for you.
01:04:06Alex,
01:04:07no,
01:04:07come on.
01:04:09Get off.
01:04:12You're going to regret this.
01:04:13Steven,
01:04:21the chef's apprentice
01:04:23is out.
01:04:24You're halfway
01:04:25to taking
01:04:25the food court project.
01:04:27Well done,
01:04:28Gina.
01:04:29Alex,
01:04:30remember when you trash
01:04:32snow for using
01:04:32garbage ingredients?
01:04:34This time,
01:04:35I'm going to wipe
01:04:36the floor with you
01:04:37and show you
01:04:38how wrong you were.
01:04:39We need top quality
01:04:41ingredients for this project
01:04:43or...
01:04:43I got it.
01:04:44Oh,
01:04:45you've reminded me
01:04:45of something
01:04:46besides the apprentice
01:04:47of culinary grower.
01:04:49Galax has got
01:04:49his own head chefs.
01:04:51I'm on the back.
01:04:52I'll poach them all
01:04:53and leave him
01:04:53with nothing to fight back.
01:04:54Once we snag
01:04:55the food court project,
01:04:57I'll get my share,
01:04:59right?
01:04:59Absolutely.
01:05:01I'll get you good.
01:05:04Alex,
01:05:05I gave you a chance.
01:05:06This is all on you.
01:05:13She blocked me.
01:05:20What, is she a teenager?
01:05:22Boss?
01:05:24We've got a problem.
01:05:25That stupid Stephen's
01:05:26been stealing our chefs
01:05:27left and right.
01:05:28We won't have a head chef
01:05:29for the food city project
01:05:30next week
01:05:30and word is we're heading
01:05:31for bankruptcy
01:05:32of all the times
01:05:33for Ira to throw a fit.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:36Get on it.
01:05:38Find us a new chef
01:05:39before the bidding meeting.
01:05:43Hot off the press,
01:05:48KL's group's top chef
01:05:49have flocked over
01:05:50to Stephen Snow group
01:05:52leaving little doubt
01:05:53about who will win
01:05:54next week's food city project.
01:05:57Could this be the beginning
01:05:58of the end for KL group?
01:06:00Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
01:06:03So what?
01:06:03He has Gina now, doesn't he?
01:06:06Yeah, I guess.
01:06:07Alex has yesterday's news.
01:06:09I'm gonna go cook.
01:06:10I'm gonna go cook.
01:06:13Is it really that bad?
01:06:16Do you think about
01:06:17helping Alex?
01:06:18No.
01:06:24After the judges voting,
01:06:25the finalists for the
01:06:26food city bidding competition
01:06:28are KL group
01:06:29and Snow group.
01:06:34All right, folks.
01:06:36It's time for round two
01:06:37where we invite our star
01:06:39Michelin starred chefs
01:06:40to the plate
01:06:41to create their magnum opuses.
01:06:43Let's get things started
01:06:44with Snow group.
01:06:45Please give her
01:06:47a warm welcome, folks.
01:06:55Gina.
01:06:58Didn't expect this,
01:06:59did you, Alex?
01:07:01Gina's been on my side
01:07:03the entire time.
01:07:04All that talk
01:07:05of you two getting back together,
01:07:07just a little trick
01:07:08to separate you
01:07:09from your precious apprentice.
01:07:10Alex, I gave you a chance.
01:07:16When you told everybody
01:07:18that my company
01:07:19uses inferior ingredients,
01:07:21I swore I was going
01:07:22to bring you down.
01:07:23Your character
01:07:24is just like your ingredients,
01:07:27rotten on the inside
01:07:28and out.
01:07:30Keep talking tough, Alex.
01:07:32But where are you now?
01:07:33No head chef,
01:07:35no culinary genius.
01:07:37I'm going to snatch
01:07:39that project
01:07:39you've been drooling over.
01:07:41And then,
01:07:42I'm going to watch
01:07:43KL group crumble.
01:07:47Ladies and gentlemen,
01:07:48now we have the lovely
01:07:50Miss Gina
01:07:50ready to present her dish.
01:07:53KL group,
01:07:54it's your turn
01:07:55to step up.
01:07:57What's going on?
01:07:58Why is there no
01:07:58beyond Alex's side?
01:07:59It looks like
01:08:00they're ready
01:08:01to wave the white flag.
01:08:02All this one now,
01:08:03we're left
01:08:04for a good chef.
01:08:05I'm looking for a liar over here.
01:08:07Just go ahead
01:08:08and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:08:09Even if you squeak
01:08:10by the first round,
01:08:11you've got no one
01:08:12for the second.
01:08:17She's got me all wrong,
01:08:18and I don't think
01:08:19she's coming back.
01:08:20This misunderstanding
01:08:21is too deep.
01:08:23Since we have
01:08:24no one from KL group
01:08:25to compete,
01:08:26I hereby announce
01:08:27that the winner
01:08:28is snow.
01:08:30Wait a minute!
01:08:34Alex, I'm back.
01:08:39What's the score?
01:08:41We're toast.
01:08:42I thought Gina
01:08:43was your ace.
01:08:44I guess she's not
01:08:45cutting it, huh?
01:08:46It's not like that
01:08:47with her and me.
01:08:48And Gina's representing
01:08:49Steven in this competition.
01:08:50Mmm, so your little reunion
01:08:52didn't go as planned?
01:08:53Ira,
01:08:54nothing happened with her.
01:08:56I will represent
01:08:57the KL group.
01:08:58I'll take Gina
01:08:59on myself.
01:09:01Aren't we expecting
01:09:02to see Michelin-starred
01:09:04chefs on stage?
01:09:05Are you really
01:09:06in that league?
01:09:07No, I'm not.
01:09:08How can she compete
01:09:10when she doesn't have
01:09:11any credentials,
01:09:11especially against Gina?
01:09:13I mean,
01:09:14she has royal chef status.
01:09:17Royal chef?
01:09:18Never heard of it.
01:09:19I was trained
01:09:20by the culinary guru,
01:09:21though,
01:09:21if that means anything.
01:09:24The culinary guru
01:09:26hasn't been around
01:09:27for ages.
01:09:28And besides,
01:09:29Gina,
01:09:29she trained
01:09:30with the sea guru,
01:09:31Robert.
01:09:32She said she trained
01:09:33with them?
01:09:33I mean, what?
01:09:35Wait,
01:09:36you're
01:09:37the culinary guru's
01:09:39apprentice?
01:09:40So,
01:09:42Stephen stole
01:09:42all of Alex's chefs.
01:09:44Well,
01:09:45I may not be
01:09:46Michelin-star status,
01:09:47but I have what it takes
01:09:48to represent
01:09:49the KL group.
01:09:50Why do you think
01:09:51you can represent KL?
01:09:53Because I'm his wife.
01:09:54That's why.
01:09:57Ira,
01:09:57you're a lifesaver.
01:10:00Let's see what you
01:10:01cook up.
01:10:02I'll give it a try
01:10:05and we'll see
01:10:06who takes the crown.
01:10:08And who are you,
01:10:09old man?
01:10:11What makes you think
01:10:11you're in charge here?
01:10:13He's Alan Ducasse,
01:10:15president of the
01:10:15DuPont group,
01:10:16the project's
01:10:17big cheese.
01:10:21Oh,
01:10:22he's definitely
01:10:22the one with the
01:10:23final say.
01:10:26Sir,
01:10:27this is the dish
01:10:27from Snow.
01:10:32Rich
01:10:33and aromatic.
01:10:35Like you're
01:10:35basking in a warm
01:10:37Mediterranean sun.
01:10:39I created this
01:10:40with the combined
01:10:41efforts of
01:10:42three top chefs.
01:10:44So good luck
01:10:44beating that,
01:10:45Ira.
01:10:46You may be
01:10:46the culinary guru's
01:10:47apprentice,
01:10:48but that doesn't mean
01:10:49that you can outshine
01:10:50the work of
01:10:50four of us combined.
01:10:57Seriously,
01:10:58you think you
01:10:59can compete
01:11:00with something
01:11:00so simple
01:11:01and rough
01:11:02this is what
01:11:03the culinary
01:11:04guru's apprentice
01:11:05comes up with?
01:11:06It's so
01:11:06inelegant.
01:11:08You don't
01:11:08understand.
01:11:09A chef who
01:11:10can't cook
01:11:10with pure
01:11:11ingredients
01:11:11will never
01:11:12make the best
01:11:12food.
01:11:15Ira's right.
01:11:16A chef who
01:11:17relies only on
01:11:18spices is a
01:11:19one-trick pony.
01:11:20I'd rather just
01:11:21drink my
01:11:21protein shakes.
01:11:33What's up with
01:11:34Alan?
01:11:34Why isn't he
01:11:34saying anything?
01:11:36Do you think
01:11:37the stuff is that
01:11:37bad?
01:11:38It must be
01:11:39terrible.
01:11:40Mr. Alan's in
01:11:40tears.
01:11:42No one asked
01:11:42your opinion.
01:11:43Mr. Alan,
01:11:44how does it taste?
01:11:45My dream
01:11:49since I was
01:11:50young was to
01:11:51taste the
01:11:51best food
01:11:52in the world.
01:11:53I never
01:11:54guessed I
01:11:55would do it
01:11:55today.
01:11:56I've waited
01:11:5630 years
01:11:58for this
01:11:59dish.
01:11:59I declare
01:12:00the KL
01:12:01group,
01:12:02led by Alex,
01:12:03winner.
01:12:04This isn't
01:12:05fair!
01:12:05I use the
01:12:06best,
01:12:07most expensive
01:12:07ingredients for
01:12:08my dish!
01:12:09How can plain
01:12:09scrambled eggs
01:12:10beat that?
01:12:11If all they
01:12:12care about
01:12:12is chasing
01:12:13fancy and
01:12:14extravagant,
01:12:14that is not
01:12:15what the
01:12:15project needs.
01:12:17Snow group
01:12:17doesn't cut it.
01:12:20Just wait,
01:12:21Alex,
01:12:21I'm gonna
01:12:21make you
01:12:21pay!
01:12:24Ira,
01:12:25you crushed
01:12:26it!
01:12:26Food City
01:12:27Project is
01:12:27ours.
01:12:27I told you
01:12:28I could do
01:12:29it.
01:12:30Miss Ira,
01:12:31I have to
01:12:32know,
01:12:33what were you
01:12:33thinking while
01:12:34you were whipping
01:12:35those eggs?
01:12:36It became so
01:12:37delicious.
01:12:38I guess I
01:12:39was just
01:12:39thinking about
01:12:40someone special.
01:12:44Miss Ira,
01:12:45sounds like
01:12:47you have
01:12:48it for that
01:12:48person.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:59Alex,
01:13:00you promised
01:13:00me a surprise.
01:13:02What is it?
01:13:04Ira,
01:13:05thanks for
01:13:06everything in
01:13:06this competition.
01:13:08This is a
01:13:09family heirloom.
01:13:10meant for
01:13:11Mrs. Thompson.
01:13:13So, Ira,
01:13:14will you be
01:13:15mine forever?
01:13:24Stay forever?
01:13:26That sounds
01:13:27boring.
01:13:28I haven't even
01:13:28explored the world yet.
01:13:30I guess I can't
01:13:30keep the bracelet,
01:13:31one, huh?
01:13:31Ira, do you not
01:13:36get it or are you
01:13:38just messing with me?
01:13:45Hey, Alex,
01:13:45what's up?
01:13:46You called for me?
01:13:47I have two gifts
01:13:48for you.
01:13:52Here's a card
01:13:52with half my fortune.
01:13:54Take it as a thank you.
01:13:55Alex, you're the best.
01:14:00I love cash.
01:14:01Now I can buy
01:14:02all the ingredients
01:14:03I want and travel
01:14:04anywhere.
01:14:06Ira,
01:14:06I like you.
01:14:08I want to take our
01:14:08relationship to the next
01:14:09level.
01:14:10What do you think?
01:14:11How do you feel about me?
01:14:14Um,
01:14:15you certainly have the money
01:14:16and you let me prove
01:14:17my cooking abilities.
01:14:19You really have made
01:14:20all my dreams come true.
01:14:22Ira,
01:14:22you want out,
01:14:24right?
01:14:26I'll give you the money
01:14:27and the freedom
01:14:27you want.
01:14:30Here's a divorce agreement.
01:14:33Let's end this.
01:14:43Ira,
01:14:44sign this
01:14:45and you're free.
01:14:47I'm leaving the country
01:14:48after it's done.
01:14:49Take care.
01:14:50I just remembered
01:14:52something.
01:15:05What does Alex mean?
01:15:13Why can't I stop
01:15:15thinking about him?
01:15:18Hmm.
01:15:19Why was I thinking
01:15:22about Alex all night?
01:15:24Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:15:27Maybe I should cheer him
01:15:28up when I see him.
01:15:29Oh, crap.
01:15:30I never signed
01:15:31the divorce papers.
01:15:32How do I bring that up?
01:15:38Where's Alex?
01:15:39It feels weird
01:15:40not seeing him around.
01:15:44Okay.
01:15:44Grandma?
01:15:45Grandma?
01:15:45Where's Alex?
01:15:46Oh, Alex?
01:15:47He's at the airport.
01:15:48About to jet off.
01:15:50Congrats, honey.
01:15:51You'll finally be free.
01:15:53No more Alex
01:15:54to nag you.
01:15:55What?
01:15:56Boss, the plane is boarding.
01:16:05Looks like she's not coming.
01:16:07Attention, please.
01:16:08She didn't even bother
01:16:09to show up.
01:16:12Like I can.
01:16:15Vaughn,
01:16:16let's go home.
01:16:20Alex!
01:16:21I can't stand the thought
01:16:27of losing you.
01:16:30Ira,
01:16:31if I stay,
01:16:32you'll end up leaving.
01:16:34You want your freedom
01:16:34and you don't love me.
01:16:36I can't be selfish
01:16:37in keeping trapped
01:16:38in this marriage.
01:16:38I don't want you to leave.
01:16:41Why not?
01:16:42Because.
01:16:45Because when I'm not with you,
01:16:47you're all I think about.
01:16:49Alex,
01:16:50you asked me how I felt
01:16:51and I finally know.
01:16:54I love you.
01:16:59Ira.
01:17:03I love you, too.
01:17:08I'm not finding this.
01:17:17That's not real.
01:17:17It doesn't matter.
01:17:19Huh?
