1. Previously on "Hell's Kitchen."

2. This is a challenge thatl give to every new cook

3. that I hire.

4. The final four competed

5. in a leftovers challenge.

6. The person winning thechallenge today is Elsie.

7. Elsie's chicken souplanded her in the spotlight.

8. I'm going to cook on television?

9. What we're going to do, we're going to get

10. the most amazing risotto.

11. Els.

12. Oh, no.

13. While Elsie madeher morning show debut—

14. I won yesterday's challenge.

15. Way to go, Elsie!

16. —the others plotted against her.

17. Hey, Jess, what are you going to do

18. if Elsie's in the weedstonight in the garnish station?

19. Nothing.

20. During dinner service, Jessica got the kitchen off

21. to a rough start.

22. Sorry, like I said earlier, we may be busy,

23. but I'm not slopping it out.

24. Right, Chef.

25. 'Cause that looks like pig shit.

26. To get back on track, Chef Ramsay shook things up.

27. Switch.

28. Jessica on fish.

29. Ralph on vegetables.

30. Elsie on starters.

31. Michael on meat.

32. But the suddenswitch to starters sank Elsie.

33. It's on the same table, Elsie.

34. I'm a mess. What can I tell you?

35. Hello? Shut up.

36. I called out the order togo at the same time, yeah.

37. Because you're dressing thatas if it's your last thing

38. you'll ever touch in Hell's Kitchen.

39. Come on, Elsie!

40. And the others stuck to their plan

41. and didn't bail her out.

42. No one said a fuckingword to me the whole night.

43. But in theend, the lack of teamwork

44. resulted in a huge step backwards for all.

45. I'm not going to agonizethe pain any longer.

46. Bang, I've had enough.

47. Shut it down.

48. And for the first time,

49. nobody was safe in Hell's Kitchen.

50. No one is going to nominate.

51. Jessica.

52. Yes, Chef.

53. Step forward, please.

54. Elsie, step forward please.

55. Elsie, give me your jacket.

56. I'm proud of you.

57. Thank you.

58. And now, the continuation of "Hell's

59. Kitchen."

60. After two weeks of being close to elimination,

61. Jessica is relieved to bepart of the final three.

62. Whoa, look.

63. Wow.

64. Yeah!

65. All right.

66. Now we're talking.

67. I'm here, and I am so ecstatic to be here.

68. I think it's the happiest I've been.

69. I mean, making it to the finalthree is absolutely amazing.

70. Hey. To everybody.

71. To all our fallen brothers.

72. Whoo!

73. I felt like I am keeping up with those guys.

74. I definitely was strongeron the line than Elsie.

75. It's so awesome to be here.

76. I didn't think I was going to be here.

77. The bottom line is that the three of us

78. have always been a team, you know what I mean?

79. I think all three of us arehere because of all three of us.

80. I think each one of us havehelped each other be here.

81. You're doing great, man.

82. Thanks.

83. Jessica, she pours herheart into work every day.

84. She gives it her all.

85. She doesn't give up.

86. She's so strong, that little one.

87. She's awesome.

88. I can't go to bed till Idrink all this champagne.

89. Yeah, I'm going to finishit, then I'm going to bed.

90. I'm tired.

91. Hello, my spider.

92. Jessica and I indulgedin some of the champagne.

93. I think Jessica's a little smaller than me,

94. or maybe she drank a little bit more,

95. so she got a little loopy.

96. Her flip-flop flied.

97. I'm going to bed.

98. I'm done.

99. Goodnight, guys.

100. Love you both.

101. Hey, good luck to everybody.

102. Good luck to everybody.

103. Hello?

104. Hello, who's that?- Michael.

105. Hello, Michael.

106. It's Gordon.

107. There's an emergency.

108. I need you, Ralph, and Jessica with you

109. jackets on in the blue kitchen straight away.

110. Yes, Chef.

111. Quickly.

112. Bye.

113. Hey, you guys.

114. Chef just called.

115. He wants us with ourjackets in the kitchen now.

116. They need us in our chef clothesin the blue kitchen right now.

117. Chef is waiting for us.

118. Let's go, Ralph.

119. Come on, boy!

120. I'm serious.

121. Jessica, Ralph, come on.

122. Tell them this is not fake, yeah.

123. I'm serious.

124. I mean it.

125. Don't fuck with me.

126. Me and Ralph are going.

127. Man, I'm sick of this.

128. - Get in. - No!

129. Yeah right.

130. You guys are gonna miss out.

131. Shut up.

132. When Michael said that thechef called on the phone,

133. not for one second did I believe it.

134. Come on, guys.

135. Let's go.

136. But when Chef Scott peekedhis head into the room,

137. I knew it was for real.

138. I tried to tell you, man.

139. I had no ideawhat was in store for us.

140. Yes, I know it's 4 o'clock in the morning.

141. I'm fully aware of that.

142. Hell's Kitchen is in high demand.

143. In less than 15 hours' time, we're open.

144. Tonight's dinner service

145. will mark the first time ever that Hell's Kitchen

146. is opening two nights in a row.

147. Our baker hasn't been ableto provide us with our bread.

148. So we're going to bakesome bread now and quick.

149. When you've got your own businesses

150. and these kind of thingshappen, you don't stay in bed

151. and go to sleep.

152. You get out of bed and findgears you didn't think you had.

153. Now you're looking for an extra gear.

154. Let's go.

155. With therestaurant opening tonight,

156. conquering the bread crisis will test their stamina,

157. desire, and dedication.

158. Goodnight.

159. Goodnight, Chef.

160. OK, you have to get the bread baked.

161. You have to get some sleep.

162. It's a very simple recipe.

163. We'll do it like this.

164. You get two bloom jars ready, and we'll measure out two

165. batches and keep it separate.- All right.

166. And then we'll start.

167. OK?

168. I was out of it and slightly drunk,

169. so I didn't really know what the hell was going

170. on for a couple of minutes.- All right, guys.

171. I'll see you tomorrow, then. Goodnight, Chef.

172. Thanks.

173. Hey, bright and breezy, Chef.

174. Always.

175. Well, kids, welcome toHell's Kitchen once again.

176. Ralph, wake up! Let's go!

177. Come on, Ralph.

178. It was the one night I wanted to go to bed early

179. and get in to sleep too.

180. Thank you, Chef.

181. It was a very long day.

182. Like, I'm definitely not ready to give up,

183. but I'm tired though.

184. All right, so where are we at with this?

185. Let me tell you something.

186. It's 10 to 6:00, so we're not going to be

187. done here for another hour.

188. Well, should we do the wholerounds of sleeping, or what?

189. All right, you're first up.

190. Jessica's a little tipsy, so she's probably going

191. to hurt us more than help.

192. So we sent her back to sleep.

193. Guys, drink lots of water, OK?

194. She just told her to stay in bed.

195. That was my plan.

196. She needs all the sleep that she can get.

197. Drunk-ass, teary-eyed woman.

198. An hour later, Michael and Ralph

199. have baked most of the bread.

200. They can't beat us.

201. We're too strong, baby.

202. We're too strong.

203. And Jessica is finally ready to help.

204. Too bad-ass to get tripped

205. up by any of this bullshit.

206. You know what I'm saying?

207. Sleep, and tired, and achy, and weary, and beat up.

208. There ain't no time for it right now.

209. Now it's just time for work, work, work, work, work.

210. That's how it is in a restaurant.

211. There is no rest in restaurants.

212. Fresh bread.

213. That's what I'm talking about.

214. Look at that.

215. Michael can I do that?

216. I want to do something, please.

217. I really feel like meand Ralph carried the team.

218. I think that without Jessicathere, we still got it done.

219. Don't touch.

220. We leave them there.

221. We don't cover them up.

222. No foil, nothing. - That's it.

223. Done and done.

224. Come on, let's go.

225. Enough with this fucking jerking around, please.

226. Black team, let's go.

227. With the restaurantopening in 11 hours,

228. the contestants rush toget some much needed rest.

229. But two hours of sleep isall they're going to get.

230. Get up.

231. Get your coat on.

232. Get your chef bands on.

233. Roll call, guys.

234. Up, up!

235. Out of bed.

236. See you guys out there.

237. Come on, Ralph.

238. Good morning.

239. Good morning, Chef.

240. The final three.

241. Jessica. - Yes, Chef.

242. How was the bread experience?

243. The bread experience was— it was fun.

244. Another learning experience, and I think it came out well.

245. So it was good. - Michael.

246. Chef.

247. What time did you finish?

248. I think we walked out ofhere about 7:30 or 7:45.

249. So, you're well rested?

250. OK.

251. In just under eight hours, therestaurant opens again tonight.

252. But tonight's something special.

253. All three of you are going to come up

254. with a new, exciting, creative, inspirational dish that

255. reflects you.

256. And then the customers will decide.

257. Your lives in Hell'sKitchen will depend solely

258. on your individual dishes.

259. Next challenge.

260. This is my favorite challengeso far in Hell's Kitchen,

261. because this is a touch of magicthat every restaurant should

262. have. Are you ready?

263. Yes, Chef.

264. Let's go to the blue kitchen.

265. OK.

266. The perfect souffle.

267. Absolutely crucial in any restaurant.

268. Great highlight, great fun.

269. And when one customersees it, they all want it.

270. Ready?

271. Egg whites.

272. Mixer on.

273. There are four stepsto making the perfect souffle.

274. The right amount of sugar must be added.

275. Lightly sprinkle with the sugar.

276. The egg whites mustbe whipped to a stiff peak

277. for the souffle to rise.

278. There you go.

279. Stiff peak.

280. And the flavoredingredients must be properly

281. folded into the egg mixture.

282. And now you fold.

283. And then thefinished mix must be poured

284. into the mold and topped off.

285. Raspberry on top.

286. Now, you've got the mostamazing tray of ingredients,

287. from fresh pineapple, tococonut, to passionfruit,

288. to bananas, to jam.

289. You decide.

290. You've got 10 minutes tomake the perfect souffle.

291. Be creative and be inspirational.

292. Are you ready?

293. Yes, Chef.

294. Let's go!

295. With littlesleep, these three finalists

296. must rise to the occasion to impress Chef

297. Ramsay with their souffles.

298. As soon as I saw that tray,I said, I know where I'm going.

299. Chocolate hazelnut mint bowl.

300. Done deal

301. Come on, guys.

302. Good. - It was tough.

303. We're so tired.

304. We have had no sleep.

305. When there's any time restraint like that,

306. you forget about steps.

307. You're moving so fast.

308. Come on, Jessie.

309. A souffle is very touchy.

310. If you don't whip your egg whites—

311. if they're slightly overdone or underdone,

312. you can see the difference.

313. One and a half minutes to go.

314. I'm looking for texture, creativity,

315. an inspirational finish.

316. 15 seconds.

317. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

318. Stop.

319. OK.

320. Jessica, can I have yours first, please?

321. Yes, Chef.

322. What's inside it?

323. A little bit of mint anda little bit of raspberries.

324. Ralph.

325. Chocolate hazelnut and mint.

326. Michael.

327. I have a raspberry chocolate.

328. OK.

329. The real testis when the souffle bakes.

330. It takes 15 minutes for it to, hopefully, rise.

331. When they work, it's a dream come true.

332. But when they don't work, it's a big disappointment.

333. Jessica.

334. It looks a little bit spongy.

335. That's pretty shit.

336. That is the worstsouffle I've ever tasted.

337. OK, Chef.

338. Ralph.

339. Mm.

340. Hazelnut and chocolate. Nice flavor.

341. You needed to put more eggwhite in there to lift it.

342. Michael.

343. When you taste that, you'll understand

344. that it needs more sugar.

345. The winner is—

346. Ralph first.

347. Second place goes to Michael.

348. And third place goes to Jess.

349. Truth be told, I've been laying

350. low with all these challenges.

351. And today, I decided to reallyturn up the heat a little bit

352. and show up for this one.

353. And I won the souffle challenge.

354. You know these challenges are crucial.

355. And you know the winneralways gets an exciting prize.

356. And tonight, you get to choosebetween beef, chicken, and tuna

357. for the most inspirationaldish that's getting on the menu

358. this evening.

359. I didn't get to go on a helicopter.

360. I didn't get to go on "Good Day Live."

361. I didn't get to go out to eat.

362. I got to choose beef, chicken, or fish.

363. There are only three dishes on there,

364. and you get first choice.

365. Each chef will have to create

366. an entree for tonight's dinner service

367. from one of the three main items.

368. Ralph.

369. - I'll take the beef, Chef.- That's huge, man.

370. You know beef sells like nobody's business.

371. Michael.

372. You've got second choice.

373. Tuna, chef.

374. Jessica.

375. You get the bird.

376. And remember, those customersare judging you on that dish.

377. And your stay in Hell's Kitchenwill depend on that dish.

378. Please don't forget that.

379. Let's go. 10 minutes.

380. Let's go.

381. The chefs must createtheir dishes using only what's

382. available in the kitchen.

383. You have some great stuff to work with.

384. It's just—

385. That's why I'm sitting here looking at the—

386. Break out of the norm a little bit,

387. that's what you should be thinking about.

388. I'm just going to make the dish simple to make,

389. and full of flavor.

390. I have a sesame crusted bigeyetuna with roasted vegetables

391. and a lobster rice pilaf.

392. And I'm ready now to go in and bust it all out.

393. That's where I'm working.

394. If that works for you.

395. I wouldn't make it too confusing.

396. That's the only advice that I would make.

397. You know, listening to the reward,

398. I didn't realize how big it was.

399. And, man, I realize I'm lucky.

400. Filet mignon's been the number one seller here

401. at Hell's Kitchen since the day we started,

402. so that's where I'm going.

403. The ingredients that you're thinking about

404. and the direction that you're heading right now

405. is a good one.

406. Ralph and Michael seemto have a plan for their dish,

407. while Jessica is still searching for a clue.

408. I mean, chicken's chicken.

409. You know what I mean?

410. I'm not even a huge fan of it myself.

411. I'm trying to think of whatwould appeal to people.

412. And I think people want goat cheese.

413. I hate goat cheese.

414. Make sure if you write something down that it's

415. something that you have to do.

416. Because once you're committedto the menu and it's printed,

417. there's no changing it.

418. Gotcha.

419. Can I ask you about it?

420. Sure.

421. Your professional opinion.

422. I can try to answer as best I can.

423. All right.

424. I can take the chicken breast and stuff it.

425. It kind of makes it all—

426. OK, that sounds great, but what do

427. you propose for your chicken?

428. I can pound it out and do a roll,

429. and then it would alsomake a nice presentation.

430. I never make chicken at the house.

431. Hopefully it'll come out.

432. And I feel like I'm definitelymaking the most out of it.

433. I'm doing chicken stuffed withgoat cheese and some herbs,

434. and wrapping it in prosciutto.

435. Thanks.

436. As always, Chef Ramsay will

437. be evaluating the aspiringchefs on their performance

438. in the kitchen.

439. But tonight their fate will also depend

440. on how their individual dishes are received.

441. How's everybody doing?

442. Pushing, Chef.

443. Pushing hard.

444. I'm going to dig deep tonightand I'm going to find that gear

445. that I haven't hit yet.

446. I'm going to be able topush myself to work harder

447. and faster than I ever have.

448. I've gone to bed at 8 o'clock in the morning

449. and been at work at 11 o'clock in a much worse

450. shape than I am right now.

451. - Not the first time. - Right?

452. There is so much adrenalin, caffeine, and sugar running

453. through my body right now.

454. Sleep is the last thing on my mind.

455. How we doing, dream team?

456. All right.

457. OK, guys.

458. Quick two seconds together, please.

459. It's been a bloody hard day.

460. Everyone's feeling a little bit tired.

461. We're opening in just under an hour.

462. While the diners will decide onwhose is the best main course,

463. I'll be judging you on yourperformance in the kitchen.

464. Based on those twofactors, I'll be deciding

465. who will be in the final of "Hell's Kitchen"

466. and who will be going home tonight.

467. And let's not forget, our objective

468. is still to serve and completea fully booked dining room.

469. And you must want that aswell this far down the line.

470. - Hell yeah, Chef. - Yes, Chef.

471. Let's go, guys. - All right.

472. While the customerscontinue to flock to Hollywood

473. for Chef Ramsay's world-renowned cuisine,

474. tonight he's shining thespotlight on the final three.

475. The menu features Ralph's filet mignon,

476. Micheal's sesame crusted tuna, and Jessica's stuffed chicken

477. breast.

478. The filet mignon looks really good.

479. Ooh, the sesame crusted bigeye tuna.

480. Spring chicken.

481. The chicken.

482. Lovely.

483. Although this has become

484. an individual competition, the aspiring chefs

485. still share a common goal.

486. Guys, first table just arrived.

487. Are we ready?

488. Yes, Chef.

489. A fully booked dining roomis going to be served tonight.

490. And if you don't do that, no one deserves

491. their very own restaurant.

492. Don't forget that.

493. First order in, Chef.

494. Thank you.

495. OK, here we go.

496. On order, two covers table 24.

497. One lobster bisque, one Caesar salad.

498. Main course, one chicken, one filet.

499. Yes, Chef. - This is our night.

500. We're going to do it. Let's go.

501. Yes, Chef.

502. Tonight Chef Ramsay has secretly

503. invited the aspiringchefs' family and friends

504. to sample their cuisine.

505. They haven't seen or spoken to their families

506. in several weeks.

507. Oh, Jessica.

508. Mm-hm?

509. It might feel like you've only got

510. one thing to do at the moment.

511. But when those desserts start going out,

512. you're cooking chicken andsending the desserts, yes?

513. Yes.

514. In addition to being responsible

515. for their individual main courses,

516. each chef must also manage a station.

517. Michael is on appetizers.

518. Ralph is on vegetables, and Jessica is on desserts.

519. Away now.

520. Bisque, Caesar salad, pear salad.

521. Yes, Chef.

522. That's the Caesar salad with no bacon, please.

523. Yes, Chef. Yes, go.

524. Come on, come on, come on.

525. Go, pleases.

526. A half hour into dinner service,

527. Michael has the appetizersflying out of the kitchen

528. and it's time for the first main courses.

529. Right. Filets there.

530. Where is the chicken?

531. It's coming, Chef.

532. It's coming, yes?

533. Yes Yes, it's coming.

534. How long?

535. - I need a minute, Chef. - Right.

536. Stop the table. - I need a minute, guys.

537. Yeah. There you go.

538. Redress it.

539. As always, Chef Ramseywants every dish in an order

540. to arrive at the hot plate at the same time

541. to ensure quality and freshness.

542. Can we come together?

543. First table.

544. Yes, that's my fault.

545. Oh, I know it's your fault, sweetheart.

546. You don't have to remind me of that one.

547. I need you talking together.

548. Now we've just gone and ruined his creation.

549. Start again.

550. One minute on the hot plate.

551. Let's go, Jessie.

552. Sorry, guys. I thought it was done.

553. It was a little pink.

554. This is the first time I had ever steamed anything.

555. And just that one piece, it just wasn't done.

556. And I was just— I had to get it.

557. You gotta wing it.

891. we have completed afully booked dining room,

892. starters, mains, and desserts.

893. You three did it.

894. Team, team, and team.

895. And last night, none of us had any sleep.

896. 24 hours, virtually.

897. And you know the most importantthing about tonight's service?

898. Did you see any food come back?

899. No way.

900. No.

901. Did you see any dishes come back?

902. No, nothing.

903. And do you know the most exciting thing for me

904. from a chef's point of view?

905. Every dish looked the same.

906. Spot on.

907. Well done.

908. I am a very proud man.

909. A touch of bad news.

910. I have to send one of you home tonight.

911. Clear up.

912. Now.

913. Yes, Chef.

914. It was rough.

915. I wasn't given that much towork with, I didn't think.

916. I had a couple souffles comeout good, though, my own.

917. Beautiful.

918. I think I did good, not great.

919. A lot of people were ordering chicken,

920. so that's definitely— thatwas definitely a good thing.

921. So how do you think we did, man?

922. I'm nervous.

923. What do you mean you're nervous?

924. Who knows what's going to happen.

925. The filet and chicken soldmore than my tuna, for sure.

926. I'm going to say a prayer to the chef gods

927. that my performance was betterthan at least one other person.

928. I would love to see Ralph go home tonight.

929. He's my biggest threat, so I would love

930. to not see him in the morning.

931. Tough as it is.

932. Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.

933. I take a beating, and I just keep coming back strong.

934. I'm a fighter.

935. You can't push me down.

936. I will just keep coming back, always.

937. The most intense, emotionalroller coaster ever.

938. Will There'll never, everbe another hard service

939. that I work again.

940. This will be the toughest ever.

941. With only two hoursof sleep in nearly two days,

942. the final three is about to become the final two.

943. I had a feeling you guyswould do well tonight.

944. You did so well.

950. I've been through a lot of crap,

951. and working hard, and notsleeping, and really pushing it

952. to the max.

953. And when I saw my wife, it had all melted away.

954. I didn't care about anythingin the world except for her.

955. And it was the best feeling in the world.

956. Good to see you.

957. You too, man.

958. Jessica, say hello toyour girlfriend, Courtney.

959. No way.

960. And your mom, and your sister.

1049. Darling, please give me your jacket.

1050. OK, Chef.

1051. It's time to leave Hell's Kitchen.

1054. - Thank you. - And I mean that.

1055. Well, thank you very much.

1056. Strong, clever, feisty, and never short of a word.

1057. I like that in a woman.

1058. Yeah?

1059. Thank you.

1060. Well done.

1061. Thank you.

1062. Chef Ramsay was amazing.

1063. I mean, it was such an honor to work under him.

1064. I like hot things.

1065. Some people might not, andl guess you're one of them.

1066. It's burning my mouth off.

1067. I'm my own little Cinderella.

1068. Get back on yoursection, then talk to me.

1069. Hey.

1070. Hello?

1071. What's this?

1072. Get back on your section!

1073. I'm here.

1074. Jessica, let's go.

1075. Can someone come andhelp me? 'Cause I'm fucking

1076. up to my ears in shit and I'm getting screamed at.

1077. The blue team has a new talented cook, Jessica.

1078. cooking was spot on

1079. Jess. - Yes.

1080. You arrived through the front door.

1081. You deserve to go through thefront door with your family.

1082. Bye, guys.

1083. Well done.

1084. Good luck.

1085. I worked hard and smart, and I think that's what

1086. helped me get this far.

1087. So no regrets at all.

1088. This was such a great experienceand something I'll hold with me

1089. for the rest of my life.

1090. - Michael and Ralph. - Yes, Chef.

1091. Yes, Chef.

1092. You now stand before me as thefinalists in "Hell's Kitchen."

1093. Well done to you both.

1094. Because one of you is going towin your very own restaurant.

1095. Congratulations.

1096. Now enjoy the moment with the family.

1097. The only way I can beat Michael

1098. is to be stronger, to keep on doing what I do.

1099. So I gotta be perfect.

1100. I feel that Ralph doesn't have a chance.

1101. There's still one more step still to go,

1102. and until I get to thatpoint, I'm not going to stop.

1103. Now we're down to the finals two.

1104. This is it.

1105. But the fascinating thingabout these two guys

1106. is they're both equally as good as one another.

1107. And this is where they have to now separate,
