00:18:13you've got going on
00:18:14that's cyrus potter
00:18:16daisy's father
00:18:16the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state
00:18:19and that kid with him
00:18:20isn't that senator bruce's only son
00:18:22jasper just dumped his daughter
00:18:23there's no way he's here for anything good
00:18:34relax
00:18:35why so tense
00:18:37mr potter
00:18:38i owe you an apology
00:18:39what jasper did to your daughter was wrong
00:18:42and i'm truly sorry
00:18:43forget the engagement
00:18:45i heard your restaurant has a secret sauce
00:18:48so good it can make anyone hungry
00:18:50senator bruce asked me to bring young master leo here to try it
00:18:53if you can get him to eat
00:18:55there'll be a very generous reward
00:18:57if you can't
00:18:58then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business
00:19:01mr potter we do have the sauce
00:19:03but i've injured my wrist recently
00:19:04and young master leo's condition is
00:19:06so you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs
00:19:09a restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open
00:19:14perhaps i should recommend the senator shut this place down
00:19:16no everybody knows senator bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia
00:19:20world-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat
00:19:22the only person who ever succeeded
00:19:24was the culinary legend
00:19:25and the senator paid a hundred million dollars for that meal
00:19:28you're not here for dinner
00:19:29you're here to destroy us
00:19:34that's right
00:19:35you had the nerve to dump my daughter
00:19:37now you get to watch your whole family
00:19:40lose everything
00:19:43Vance restaurant is unable to serve its customers
00:19:45that's grounds for closure
00:19:47tear it apart
00:19:50stop
00:19:56what?
00:19:57has Vance restaurant fallen so low
00:19:59that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:20:01there she goes again
00:20:03always desperate for attention
00:20:06what are you doing?
00:20:08this is my family's problem, not yours
00:20:11stay behind me
00:20:12no one's ever tried to protect me before
00:20:16you want payback for your daughter?
00:20:17fine
00:20:17this is all on me
00:20:19do whatever you want of me
00:20:20just leave my family out of it
00:20:23brave little fool
00:20:25if you want to go down first
00:20:27be my guest
00:20:31nobody lays a hand on my son
00:20:33I will make something Master Leo enjoys
00:20:36until then
00:20:36you don't touch a single member of my family
00:20:39and you don't damage a single thing in my restaurant
00:20:41they haven't even had a chance to cook yet
00:20:43how can you shut them down already?
00:20:45he's not even trying to hide it
00:20:46this is obviously a setup
00:20:47fine
00:20:48but if you fail
00:20:50don't blame me
00:20:51when I shut this place down on the spot
00:21:02let's see if you've got anything
00:21:03that can compete with the culinary legend
00:21:23please give it a try
00:21:35oh my god
00:21:36he ate it
00:21:37Master Leo won't even touch food he doesn't like
00:21:40but Chef Rowan actually got him to take a bite
00:21:44honey
00:21:44you did it
00:21:48Sage
00:21:49what is it?
00:21:50the sauce is good
00:21:52but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential
00:21:55are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:21:58can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:22:01if there was something wrong with the dish
00:22:03why would Master Leo eat it?
00:22:05do you think we're all idiots?
00:22:17that's disgusting!
00:22:19why would you serve me this?
00:22:22what?
00:22:22no way
00:22:23she was right
00:22:24she actually called it
00:22:27Vance restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer
00:22:31clearly unfit to operate
00:22:33as the senator's representative
00:22:35I'm shutting this place down immediately
00:22:37wait
00:22:40who says nobody in the Vance family
00:22:42can make something he'll eat?
00:22:45you're supposed to be some rich heiress
00:22:47since when do rich girls know how to cook?
00:22:50stop making things worse
00:22:52ha!
00:22:53Rowan
00:22:54have you really run out of options?
00:22:56you're actually hiding behind a woman now?
00:22:59Sage stop
00:23:00be serious
00:23:01you don't know how to cook
00:23:03he doesn't need food
00:23:04he needs a taste
00:23:05that reminds him what hunger feels like
00:23:08a taste
00:23:08that wakes his appetite back up
00:23:10and there's only one person in the world
00:23:12who knows how to do that
00:23:14and it's me
00:23:18do you trust me?
00:23:20there's something about her
00:23:21something that makes you want to believe
00:23:23fine
00:23:25one last chance
00:23:26I want a dish on that table in ten minutes
00:23:29and nobody helps her
00:23:30ten minutes?
00:23:31it takes five minutes just to prep the ingredients
00:23:34nobody can make a proper dish in ten
00:23:36you've got one shot
00:23:38of course
00:23:39you're welcome to give up now
00:23:41you!
00:23:42fine
00:23:43but ten minutes is excessive
00:23:45give me three
00:23:47three minutes?
00:23:48Sage this is no time for jokes
00:23:50you can't even prep the ingredients in three minutes
00:23:53if she wants to embarrass herself
00:23:54who am I to stop her?
00:23:55three minutes it is
00:23:57Jasper, your fiancé has completely lost her mind
00:24:00are you sure about this?
00:24:02three minutes isn't enough time
00:24:04for someone else maybe
00:24:05not for me
00:24:22she carries chef's tools with her everywhere?
00:24:32go ahead
00:24:33let's see what miracle you think you can pull off in three minutes
00:24:38go show them what you've got
00:24:58how far along is she?
00:25:00why is it so quiet?
00:25:01maybe she realized she's in over her head
00:25:03and is back there crying
00:25:1730 seconds
00:25:18that's all you've got left
00:25:20Jasper, I told you she couldn't do it!
00:25:22Mia, are you actually rooting for my family's restaurant to fail?
00:25:26that's not what I meant
00:25:34what is that smell?
00:25:37I've never smelled anything like it before
00:25:39oh my god
00:25:41I'm actually drooling
00:25:43she cooked with oil yet there's not a trace of smoke
00:25:45just the pure aroma of vegetables and meat
00:25:48this is the pinnacle of the craft
00:25:49the level only the culinary legend is supposed to reach
00:25:52Jasper
00:25:54who exactly did you bring home?
00:25:57ten seconds!
00:25:59if she doesn't put a dish on that table
00:26:01I'm shutting this place down!
00:26:10please, enjoy
00:26:18that's, that's impossible
00:26:32the game now begins!
00:27:09congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic 5th consecutive World Culinary Championship
00:27:15the only chef ever to claim the title 5 years in a row!
00:27:26and today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded
00:27:31has officially been ranked number one in the world
00:27:35she's not just a culinary legend now
00:27:38she's the queen of hospitality!
00:27:40boss, the tattered clothes you asked for are ready
00:27:47for years, I've given to others anonymously
00:27:50but today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character
00:27:53someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant
00:27:56the first person to offer me food gets a 10 million dollar investment
00:28:00please, could someone spare a little food?
00:28:03wait, don't go over there!
00:28:05what's wrong babe?
00:28:06that bum over there went to high school with me
00:28:09if she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money
00:28:12let's take a side street
00:28:14wait, you mean Sage? that's really her?
00:28:17you know her?
00:28:18she's my ex, we broke up when she left town for work
00:28:21wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street
00:28:23I've gotta record this
00:28:25come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me
00:28:28went to school with her, it'll screw up my image!
00:28:31Molly, that franchise you're so proud of
00:28:34only exists because I gave it to you
00:28:36please, could someone...
00:28:38is there really no one out here worth believing in?
00:28:58are you alright?
00:29:04Jasper, why are you standing around?
00:29:06with some filthy hobo?
00:29:09you gave my bread to her?
00:29:11your bread?
00:29:12I bought it and you said you didn't want it
00:29:15even if I don't want it
00:29:17it shouldn't be wasted
00:29:18on a sewer rat like her
00:29:22she belongs on the ground picking up scraps
00:29:24Daisy, that's enough!
00:29:25I'm your fiance and you're taking some random bum side over me?
00:29:30if you still want to marry me
00:29:31then make her get lost
00:29:32right now
00:29:34well, I guess the wedding's off
00:29:36what did you just say?
00:29:37you're calling off our engagement over some homeless freak?
00:29:40do you have any idea what my father could do to her?
00:29:43leave her out of this, Daisy
00:29:44I made this decision a long time ago
00:29:46our engagement was nothing more than a family arrangement
00:29:48you were never the woman I wanted to marry
00:29:50my wife won't be someone who looks down on those with less than her
00:29:53someone who treats cruelty like a virtue
00:29:57you bastard!
00:29:58how dare you?
00:29:58your family's restaurant is already drowning financially
00:30:01without my father's investment
00:30:02it'll be out of business in no time
00:30:04your father only angled for this marriage
00:30:06because he's after my family's recipes
00:30:07and let me make this clear
00:30:09even if we're struggling
00:30:10our restaurant isn't something he can just take away
00:30:15you're gonna regret this

00:31:32the culinary legend
00:31:33what, don't tell me you're actually her?

00:31:39then tell me what else you want
00:31:40whatever it is

00:31:43no, that's really not
00:31:47Jasper, everything's ready here
00:31:48when are you and Daisy getting back?
00:31:50mom, Daisy and I

00:31:52a situation?
00:31:53did you two have a fight?
00:31:55Jasper, go make things right
00:31:56our restaurant is depending on the funding from this marriage
00:31:58we cannot lose the bride
00:31:59and we certainly can't survive the damage to our reputations if this goes south
00:32:02do you understand?
00:32:04don't worry
00:32:04I'll get you a bride
00:32:05you said you'd make any wish I had come true?
00:32:08yes

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