2. Chef Ramsay heads
to California's Sushi Ko...Copy !req
3. Where the fish isn't
the only thing...Copy !req
4. This is a Japanese
health hazard.Copy !req
5. That doesn't smell right.Copy !req
6. You could kill
somebody.Copy !req
7. Blah!Copy !req
8. Owner Akira is a broken man...Copy !req
9. Talk to me!Copy !req
10. A mere shadow of the star chef
he once was.Copy !req
11. And that's not all.Copy !req
12. This once-proud father...Copy !req
13. Has your father given up?Copy !req
14. Is dragging his family
down with him.Copy !req
15. My family is hanging
by a thread.Copy !req
16. My family is hanging
by a thread.Copy !req
17. His two grown children
long to see their fatherCopy !req
18. happy again.Copy !req
19. I can't remember
the last time I saw himCopy !req
20. actually happy.Copy !req
21. While the suffering wife Lisa...Copy !req
22. Do you think you work
really hard all the time?Copy !req
23. Gets more resentful every day.Copy !req
24. He doesn't know how to get off
of his little,Copy !req
25. skinny ass and work.Copy !req
26. Her constant criticism...Copy !req
27. Uhh! That's a nightmare.Copy !req
28. May just push Akira...Copy !req
29. I can't believe it!Copy !req
30. And Chef Ramsay...Copy !req
31. I need you to shut up.Copy !req
32. Over the edge.Copy !req
33. I'm not around.Copy !req
34. In one of the most emotional
Kitchen Nightmares ever...Copy !req
35. In one of the most emotional
Kitchen Nightmares ever...Copy !req
36. I don't think I ever tell you
how much I love you.Copy !req
37. It's just hard.Copy !req
38. I just want to see you happy.Copy !req
39. Chef Ramsay pulls out
all the stops...Copy !req
40. You've forgotten
how talented you are.Copy !req
41. To not only save
the restaurant...Copy !req
42. We need
to bring him back.Copy !req
43. But the family as well.Copy !req
44. My family is really suffering.Copy !req
45. Thousand Oaks, California—Copy !req
46. an affluent suburb
outside of Los Angeles.Copy !req
47. Akira and Lisa
were a young married coupleCopy !req
48. when they moved here
more than 20 years agoCopy !req
49. from the bay area.Copy !req
50. While Lisa raised
their young family,Copy !req
51. Akira worked at a popular
and trendy Japanese restaurantCopy !req
52. called Sushi KoCopy !req
53. in the wealthy suburb
of Bel-Air.Copy !req
54. In the beginning,
I was a sous chef.Copy !req
55. In the beginning,
I was a sous chef.Copy !req
56. Akira learned the art
of sushi making in Japan.Copy !req
57. He was good at his skill,
and so we started workingCopy !req
58. at Sushi Ko in Bel-Air,Copy !req
59. and the restaurant
just took offCopy !req
60. and just became
super successful.Copy !req
61. My dad was a great chef.Copy !req
62. He was so excited
when he was cooking.Copy !req
63. We decided it was time
to ventureCopy !req
64. into our own bigger and better
and nicer Sushi Ko.Copy !req
65. into our own bigger and better
and nicer Sushi Ko.Copy !req
66. Hello!
Welcome to Sushi Ko!Copy !req
67. We decided
to open our restaurantCopy !req
68. in this beautiful
shopping centerCopy !req
69. in Thousand Oaks.Copy !req
70. In the beginning,
business was booming.Copy !req
71. Then it just slowed down...Copy !req
72. Like somebody
put the brakes on.Copy !req
73. It's pretty devastating to him.Copy !req
74. It broke him.Copy !req
75. It's tough, yeah.Copy !req
76. Anybody walking around
out there?Copy !req
77. Even if there's
nobody in here,Copy !req
78. Even if there's
nobody in here,Copy !req
79. Akira will scramble
to find somebodyCopy !req
80. to do a job for him.Copy !req
81. And that irritates
the crap out of me.Copy !req
82. Most of the time now,Copy !req
83. my dad just
kind of walks around.Copy !req
84. He doesn't, like,
do anything.Copy !req
85. They're gonna
turn off the electric.Copy !req
86. You have to pay that one.Copy !req
87. We are losing, like,
$15,000 to $20,000 a month.Copy !req
88. Credit-card debt
is hundreds of thousands.Copy !req
89. We're as deep
as you could ever imagine.Copy !req
90. We're as deep
as you could ever imagine.Copy !req
91. We still are, like,
$9,000 behind.Copy !req
92. Living with financial stress
is pretty bad.Copy !req
93. I gave it to them.Copy !req
94. My parents are always, like,
fighting and arguing and...Copy !req
95. That's a
nightmare.Copy !req
96. Never used to be like that.Copy !req
97. Over the past four years,Copy !req
98. Akira and I
have grown apart.Copy !req
99. We work together,
and we live together,Copy !req
100. but we don't speak
to each other.Copy !req
101. It just isn't worth it.Copy !req
102. My dad doesn't spend
enough time with us.Copy !req
103. He's just less approachable.Copy !req
104. Dad.
How many did you order?
Just one?Copy !req
105. I don't really ever
talk to him anymore, and...Copy !req
106. Dad!Copy !req
107. Akira's spirits
are broken down,Copy !req
108. And he just doesn't know
what to do anymore.Copy !req
109. Life has been like hell
since we opened the restaurant.Copy !req
110. If Sushi Ko closed tomorrow,Copy !req
111. I think we could lose
everything—Copy !req
112. our house, restaurant,Copy !req
113. and our hope
and our dreams.Copy !req
114. I can't remember the last time
I slept through a night,Copy !req
115. I can't remember the last time
I slept through a night,Copy !req
116. just always worried
about what's gonna happen next.Copy !req
117. Chef Ramsay's our last hope.Copy !req
118. Hello.Copy !req
119. Hi, welcome
to Sushi Ko.Copy !req
120. How are you?
I'm Lisa.Copy !req
121. Lisa, nice to see you,
my darling.Copy !req
122. And...
Akira.Copy !req
123. Akira.
What's the connection?Copy !req
124. Business partners?Copy !req
125. 27 years.Copy !req
126. Oh, you're married
to each other?Copy !req
127. Yes.
And you're the chef?Copy !req
128. Okay.
And, Lisa, you run the...Copy !req
129. Okay.
And, Lisa, you run the...Copy !req
130. I'm kind of
the front-of-the-house lady,Copy !req
131. greet the guests...
Right.Copy !req
132. Serve tables,
if needed.Copy !req
133. What is the problem
with Sushi Ko?Copy !req
134. Clearly
there's no guests.Copy !req
135. But what's the problem...Copy !req
136. The main problem?
Which I do not know.Copy !req
137. You know, we stand
in the window and do this,Copy !req
138. trying to get people
to come in.Copy !req
139. You lift up the—
Hey, come on in!Copy !req
140. Lift up the blinds?Copy !req
141. Does that—
We're here, whoo!Copy !req
142. And that—that hasn't
worked around here?Copy !req
143. So tell me
about Sushi Ko.Copy !req
144. So then you bought out
the other partnersCopy !req
145. and bought the name?Copy !req
146. Pretty much so, yes.Copy !req
147. And they decided
to sort of move Sushi KoCopy !req
148. from Bel-Air to your
hometown here in Thousand Oaks?Copy !req
149. Exactly.
So how long ago
did it open here?Copy !req
150. Four years.Copy !req
151. Um, I can't do anything
unless I find outCopy !req
152. what the problems are.Copy !req
153. So... I'd like to eat.Copy !req
154. What would
you recommend? Um...Copy !req
155. A what?Copy !req
156. Japanese pizza?Copy !req
157. I don't—
I don't like it.Copy !req
158. Wow.Copy !req
159. I'm not a big fan
of any of our food.Copy !req
160. There's just, like,
no flavor anymore,Copy !req
161. because Akira is not involved
enough in the kitchen.Copy !req
162. Okay.Copy !req
163. Why don't we sit down
and have lunch?Copy !req
164. I'll look forward
to catching upCopy !req
165. with both of you
after lunch, thank you.Copy !req
166. Enjoy.
Lovely, thank you.Copy !req
167. Come on in.Copy !req
168. Some strange fixtures
on the wall.Copy !req
169. Some strange fixtures
on the wall.Copy !req
170. Are you ready?
Yes, please.Copy !req
171. Okay.
Thank you.Copy !req
172. Uh, right.Copy !req
173. Let's start
with a little bowl of miso.Copy !req
174. Okay.
And Akira mentioned
the sushi pizza.Copy !req
175. He recommended that?
Yeah.Copy !req
176. I wouldn't recommend it.Copy !req
177. No?
No.Copy !req
178. I would not recommend
the sushi pizzaCopy !req
179. to anybody.Copy !req
180. Uh, I think it's vile.Copy !req
181. Gotta try
the sushi pizza.Copy !req
182. Just out of curiosity.Copy !req
183. Good luck.
Plea—"Good luck."Copy !req
184. Um, the green tower—
that sounds nice.Copy !req
185. And then
let's end up with...Copy !req
186. A little bit
of the salmon sashimi.Copy !req
187. A little bit
of the salmon sashimi.Copy !req
188. I think
that'll be enough.Copy !req
189. You've got some of the best
and some of the worst.Copy !req
190. Thank you.
Thank you.Copy !req
191. Good. Excellent.Copy !req
192. Some of the best
and some of the worst.Copy !req
193. No one's afraid
to show their opinion here.Copy !req
194. Well, here you are.Copy !req
195. Your soup.
Thank you.Copy !req
196. Here we go.Copy !req
197. Miso soup
doesn't taste very fresh.Copy !req
198. It's not actually
very hot either.Copy !req
199. It's not actually
very hot either.Copy !req
200. Thank you.
Chef, your green tower.Copy !req
201. Thank you.Copy !req
202. It's very salty, though,
isn't it?Copy !req
203. It is.
Yeah.
Is that normal?Copy !req
204. Yeah, that's normal.Copy !req
205. Thank you.
Thank you.Copy !req
206. What is that?Copy !req
207. Someone's gray hair.Copy !req
208. Ohh...Copy !req
209. Um...Copy !req
210. Are you finished
with the green tower?Copy !req
211. Are you finished
with the green tower?Copy !req
212. Oh, there's just—Copy !req
213. I pulled out
this disgusting hair.Copy !req
214. Ee. Yeah, I'm definitely
finished with that.Copy !req
215. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
216. I just wanted to...Copy !req
217. Just die,
bury my head in the sandCopy !req
218. when that happened.Copy !req
219. Um... guys.Copy !req
220. There's... a hairCopy !req
221. in the green tower.Copy !req
222. You gotta be
kidding me.Copy !req
223. It's always,
like, a running joke.Copy !req
224. Like, "Oh, my God,Copy !req
225. there's a lot of things
going wrong."Copy !req
226. So Akira disappears.Copy !req
227. Your sashimi.Copy !req
228. Your sashimi.Copy !req
229. Thank you.
You're welcome.Copy !req
230. Lovely.
And is the salmon fresh?Copy !req
231. Yes, it is.Copy !req
232. Thank you.Copy !req
233. John...Copy !req
234. Frozen.Copy !req
235. It just tastes
like it's frozen.Copy !req
236. How is your sashimi?Copy !req
237. That's definitely frozen.
It's very, very chewy.Copy !req
238. My mistake.
I was just informed.Copy !req
239. They are frozen.
They tasted frozen.Copy !req
240. They are frozen.
They tasted frozen.Copy !req
241. Is that normally...
The way—Copy !req
242. they freeze all the fish?Copy !req
243. I guess we get lazy
with our food.Copy !req
244. Sushi pizza.Copy !req
245. Yeah.Copy !req
246. I've never been
to a Japanese restaurantCopy !req
247. where I can have a pizza,
sushi-style,Copy !req
248. and a chef-owner
that's no longer in the kitchen.Copy !req
249. I'm nervous.Copy !req
250. Just go with it.Copy !req
251. Okay.Copy !req
252. Um... that's
the sushi pizza?Copy !req
253. It sure is.Copy !req
254. It's rice, salmon, crab,Copy !req
255. and mayonnaise, some cheese.
Wow.Copy !req
256. and mayonnaise, some cheese.
Wow.Copy !req
257. Thank you, love.Copy !req
258. Japanese pizza.Copy !req
259. Sorry.Copy !req
260. That...Copy !req
261. is rancid.Copy !req
262. You were right.Copy !req
263. That is an insult
to pizza, yeah?Copy !req
264. And Japanese food.Copy !req
265. Chef had fair warningCopy !req
266. that it was gonna
be terrible.Copy !req
267. I told him not to get it.Copy !req
268. I told him not to get it.Copy !req
269. Where's the chef?Copy !req
270. The old Sushi KoCopy !req
271. always stood for the finest
in Japanese food.Copy !req
272. But today's
disappointing lunchCopy !req
273. proved to Gordon that
the only thing this Sushi KoCopy !req
274. has in common with
the former one is the name.Copy !req
275. Did you know there's
a hair in the crab?Copy !req
276. No? No one told you?Copy !req
277. Are they wearing
hats back here?Copy !req
278. You're askingme?
Yeah, I'm...Copy !req
279. Are you guys wearing hats
for service?Copy !req
280. Uh, no, sir.Copy !req
281. Nothing at all?
No.Copy !req
282. If you're telling them
what to do,Copy !req
283. If you're telling them
what to do,Copy !req
284. why can't they
wear a hat?Copy !req
285. Oh,Copy !req
286. Let's go back
to the beginning.Copy !req
287. When was
the miso soup made?Copy !req
288. It was made yesterday.
Yesterday.Copy !req
289. And just tell me,
why was the taste salty?Copy !req
290. It's probably been sitting
in there reducing overnight.Copy !req
291. What do you mean
"reducing overnight"?Copy !req
292. You keep stuff
in the banbury overnight?Copy !req
293. Correct.Copy !req
294. What?Copy !req
295. The sushi pizza
was a joke.Copy !req
296. - Right.
- Okay.Copy !req
297. Hideous, disgusting,Copy !req
298. and an insult
to Japanese cultureCopy !req
299. and an insult
to Japanese cultureCopy !req
300. and an insult
to a pizza house.Copy !req
301. You don't need me
to come in here and tell youCopy !req
302. you look stupid
selling a sushi pizzaCopy !req
303. that tastes like gunk!Copy !req
304. What were you doing
serving frozen fish to meCopy !req
305. at lunchtime?Copy !req
306. I would like to order
proper, fresh fish,Copy !req
307. and it doesn't
actually happen.Copy !req
308. I've never known
a Japanese restaurantCopy !req
309. to freeze so much stuff.Copy !req
310. I'm not here
to make you look stupid.Copy !req
311. I'm not here
to make you look stupid.Copy !req
312. But I can smell
Okay.Copy !req
313. Can you say something?Copy !req
314. Seriously.
Talk to me.Copy !req
315. Talk to me.Copy !req
316. Coming up...Copy !req
317. This is a Japanese
health hazard.Copy !req
318. A shocking inspection...Copy !req
319. You could kill
somebody.Copy !req
320. Has Gordon wondering
if Akira and Sushi KoCopy !req
321. can be saved.Copy !req
322. Has your father given up?Copy !req
323. Then...Copy !req
324. My family is hanging
by a thread.Copy !req
325. My family is hanging
by a thread.Copy !req
326. It's a Kitchen Nightmares
intervention.Copy !req
327. We need
to bring him back.Copy !req
328. As Chef Ramsay
works with Lisa...Copy !req
329. I want to be
more emotionally supportive.Copy !req
330. Sammy...Copy !req
331. I want to do as much as I can.
It's just hard.Copy !req
332. And Hana...Copy !req
333. I don't think I ever
tell you how much I love you.Copy !req
334. To get Akira back on track.Copy !req
335. My family's
really suffering.Copy !req
336. You don't want to miss
what's coming upCopy !req
337. on Kitchen Nightmares.Copy !req
338. After getting very little
out of Akira,Copy !req
339. Chef Ramsay decides to sit down
with the owners' children,Copy !req
340. 22-year-old Sammy
and 20-year-old Hana.Copy !req
341. Was it always the plan
to have both of youCopy !req
342. so involved from day one?Copy !req
343. It was an idea
for us to come helpCopy !req
344. and give them a break
if they needed to.Copy !req
345. But not to be here...Copy !req
346. every weekend.
24-7.Copy !req
347. I, most of the time,
don't even want to be here,Copy !req
348. I, most of the time,
don't even want to be here,Copy !req
349. 'cause I'm here so much.Copy !req
350. But gotta do
what you gotta do...Copy !req
351. Yeah.
To help out
the family, so...Copy !req
352. And here's my worry,
honestly.Copy !req
353. It's the level of shortcuts
that are currently going onCopy !req
354. in this restaurant.
right.Copy !req
355. Has your father given up?Copy !req
356. Yeah, I think he definitely
has on the inside,Copy !req
357. but he doesn't
want to show it.Copy !req
358. Do you ever tell him
to just stop,Copy !req
359. take stock,Copy !req
360. rethink?Copy !req
361. He doesn't really listen.Copy !req
362. Please don't get upset.Copy !req
363. Please don't get upset.Copy !req
364. I'm sorry, I just—
No, no, come on.Copy !req
365. I—you know.
I know, I know.Copy !req
366. It's hard for me
to think about.
I know it is, darling.Copy !req
367. I totally get it.Copy !req
368. I'm almost 21.Copy !req
369. I should be
living my own life, but...Copy !req
370. I can't, because I have
to help out my family,Copy !req
371. and I can't leave them.Copy !req
372. You're both
incredibly committed,Copy !req
373. and I, you know, totally
respect that level of loyalty.Copy !req
374. What I'm more nervous about
than anythingCopy !req
375. is the state
of the business.Copy !req
376. Where do you see
the business?Copy !req
377. Pretty much
as far down as you can go.Copy !req
378. I've also recently,
like, in the past year,Copy !req
379. I've also recently,
like, in the past year,Copy !req
380. given money also.Copy !req
381. And is it mum
that comes and asks or—Copy !req
382. It was my dad that asked.Copy !req
383. So initially,
I gave $10,000,Copy !req
384. and then half a year ago,
he asked for $5,000.Copy !req
385. And I was like,
"Of course," you know?Copy !req
386. How?Copy !req
387. Um, from working
my photography,Copy !req
388. my own personal income.Copy !req
389. If your family's
asking you for help,Copy !req
390. I would help them
right away.Copy !req
391. I have probably given
my parentsCopy !req
392. above $20,000—Copy !req
393. a decent chunk of change...Copy !req
394. for a 22-year-old,
I think.Copy !req
395. for a 22-year-old,
I think.Copy !req
396. There's a level of...
unfairness,Copy !req
397. because you've both
been dragged into thisCopy !req
398. through no choice
of your own.Copy !req
399. You've got my help.Copy !req
400. I'm supporting
every one of you.Copy !req
401. My family is hanging
by a thread.Copy !req
402. There's only so much
I can do.Copy !req
403. In the short time that Gordon
has been at Sushi Ko,Copy !req
404. he has not only learned that
the restaurant is in shambles,Copy !req
405. he has not only learned that
the restaurant is in shambles,Copy !req
406. but that this once
tight-knit familyCopy !req
407. is suffering badly.Copy !req
408. Hi, welcome to Sushi Ko.Copy !req
409. I'll take you back
to your table.Copy !req
410. Enjoy your dinner, guys.Copy !req
411. What can I get for you?Copy !req
412. Spicy tuna
rice cake okay?Copy !req
413. Okay.Copy !req
414. Bust it out, man.Copy !req
415. Why do all these sticks
got burns on them?Copy !req
416. Y-you don't buy them
like that, do you?Copy !req
417. Why are they burnt?Copy !req
418. Why are they burnt?Copy !req
419. You what?Copy !req
420. I can't believe
this is happening.Copy !req
421. Where's Lisa?Copy !req
422. No, Akira, don't run away
like a snake.Copy !req
423. Okay.Copy !req
424. I've just scraped
dried chicken off these.Copy !req
425. We're cutting our costs.Copy !req
426. There's bits of food
on there.Copy !req
427. Do you think this is right?Copy !req
428. Um...Copy !req
429. Just feel how sticky
that is on the end.Copy !req
430. That's food
being wiped off it.Copy !req
431. That's food
being wiped off it.Copy !req
432. It's 45 minutes into service,Copy !req
433. And Sushi Ko is doing what,
unfortunately,Copy !req
434. it does best—Copy !req
435. disappointing its customers.Copy !req
436. Okay, guys, they say
they don't like the tempura.Copy !req
437. They said
it's way overcookedCopy !req
438. and that that is
just really doughy.Copy !req
439. Thank you.Copy !req
440. Lisa...Copy !req
441. It's coming back.Copy !req
442. It's doughy and...Copy !req
443. That's not
tempura broccoli.Copy !req
444. It's mushy, yeah.Copy !req
445. Blah!Copy !req
446. Stop the broccoli.
Take it off.Copy !req
447. Yeah, don't even, like,
do tempura anymore.Copy !req
448. Why cause more damage?Copy !req
449. Is that fryer hot enough?Copy !req
450. Does it work properly,
the fryer—temperature?Copy !req
451. Actually,
that's a great question.Copy !req
452. It doesn't look
like it's hot enough.Copy !req
453. It's not blasting it.
No.Copy !req
454. Uh, that's scary.Copy !req
455. That's a nightmare
piece of equipmentCopy !req
456. That's a nightmare
piece of equipmentCopy !req
457. that probably isn't
holding the temperatureCopy !req
458. 'cause it's getting old...Copy !req
459. Just like me.Copy !req
460. Uh, Lisa, here.Copy !req
461. Look at all this.
Oh, the spicy mayo.Copy !req
462. So you don't keep
mayonnaise in the fridge?
No.Copy !req
463. What?Copy !req
464. "Refrigerate
after opening."Copy !req
465. Feel how warm that is.Copy !req
466. And how long has that
been staying outside for?Copy !req
467. Truthfully?Copy !req
468. For four years?
Yes.Copy !req
469. This is a Japanese
health hazard.Copy !req
470. This is a Japanese
health hazard.Copy !req
471. This is about youCopy !req
472. running your restaurant
properly.Copy !req
473. And you're not.Copy !req
474. Oh, my God.
What's this fridge for?Copy !req
475. It's warm in here.Copy !req
476. This fridge is on 50.Copy !req
477. This—is this working,
this fridge?Copy !req
478. When did it break down?Copy !req
479. So we've got
big containers of ice...Copy !req
480. Yes.Copy !req
481. To keep
the ingredients cold?Copy !req
482. To keep
the ingredients cold?Copy !req
483. Vegetable?
We got dairy.Copy !req
484. You've got eggs here.Copy !req
485. Never chicken, beef here?
Look at me.Copy !req
486. Why are you lying to me?Copy !req
487. Akira, you could kill
somebody.Copy !req
488. Bad food, a family in ruins,Copy !req
489. and unsanitary conditions...Copy !req
490. You could kill
somebody.Copy !req
491. It's been quite a first day.Copy !req
492. And as dinner service ends...Copy !req
493. Thank you.Copy !req
494. Chef Ramsay realizesCopy !req
495. That Sushi Ko is in much worse
shape than he thought.Copy !req
496. Right...
How was that for you?Copy !req
497. I think our kitchenCopy !req
498. could have run
a little smoother.Copy !req
499. could have run
a little smoother.Copy !req
500. I don't think you're taking it
seriously enough.Copy !req
501. The rice, the soup,
the fridge,Copy !req
502. the broccoli.Copy !req
503. Talk to me.Copy !req
504. I think thatCopy !req
505. Akira, you know,
could do a lot more.Copy !req
506. There's so manyCopy !req
507. bad practices,Copy !req
508. and you don't seem
to give a.Copy !req
509. Have you given up?Copy !req
510. I think he's given up.Copy !req
511. How many of your customers
would order kushiyakiCopy !req
512. if they knew they were
eating it or feeling itCopy !req
513. off of wooden sticks that have
been used three weeks ago?Copy !req
514. None of them.Copy !req
515. It's almost like
you're a man in denial.Copy !req
516. Anything to say or...?Copy !req
517. He doesn't know
how to fix it, though.Copy !req
518. He opened this place
on the assumptionCopy !req
519. that he was the delegator.Copy !req
520. He's lost.Copy !req
521. I think
that the restaurant'sCopy !req
522. I think
that the restaurant'sCopy !req
523. burnt him out.Copy !req
524. He thought thatCopy !req
525. we were gonna be
living la vida loca,Copy !req
526. and when the businessCopy !req
527. didn't go the way
it was supposed to,Copy !req
528. he didn't know what to do.Copy !req
529. But you don't really thinkCopy !req
530. that you're lazy, right?
you think you work—Copy !req
531. do you think you work
really hard all the time?Copy !req
532. I said, "I think
you should go cook."Copy !req
533. You go, "I don't want
to cook anymore."Copy !req
534. That's the way Akira feels.Copy !req
535. "If I can pay you to do it,
why should I do it?"Copy !req
536. But you're
not really paying them.Copy !req
537. Your kids
are paying them.Copy !req
538. He doesn't know how to get
off of his little skinny assCopy !req
539. and really getting
to work.Copy !req
540. Right, I want you—Copy !req
541. Right, I want you—Copy !req
542. I-I need you to shut up
for two minutes,Copy !req
543. and I need you to talk.Copy !req
544. This is part of the reasonCopy !req
545. why you've lost your voice.Copy !req
546. Not only is your wife
wearing the trousers,Copy !req
547. but she's speaking
for you.Copy !req
548. What is it?Copy !req
549. Talk to me.Copy !req
550. Come on.Copy !req
551. Talk to me.Copy !req
552. Come on, Akira.Copy !req
553. Me.Copy !req
554. I'm angry that Akira's
lost his abilityCopy !req
555. to communicate
with people.Copy !req
556. And it was good
to get it out.Copy !req
557. Akira, once a proud chef,Copy !req
558. Has lost his way.Copy !req
559. And unfortunately,Copy !req
560. his family is being dragged
down with him.Copy !req
561. Chef Ramsay knows that
in order for this restaurantCopy !req
562. to have any chance
of surviving,Copy !req
563. he must find a way
to bring them together.Copy !req
564. he must find a way
to bring them together.Copy !req
565. Tough day yesterday,
uh, really tough.Copy !req
566. I'm outside
the family home now,Copy !req
567. and it's clear that Akira
is a broken man,Copy !req
568. and in order to get
this restaurant fixed,Copy !req
569. I need the old Akira back.Copy !req
570. So I can't do that
without the family's help.Copy !req
571. I just wanted to talkCopy !req
572. I just wanted to talkCopy !req
573. to all three of you,
um, about Akira.Copy !req
574. He's a broken man,Copy !req
575. a man with a tremendous weight
on his shoulders.Copy !req
576. This is a man that is not
just on the edge.Copy !req
577. The whole family's
involved in this.Copy !req
578. You can feel the divide,Copy !req
579. just in terms
of the frictionCopy !req
580. that's built between you.Copy !req
581. Every day, every second.Copy !req
582. Take me back
when you first met.Copy !req
583. Um, he was really
funny and cute.Copy !req
584. He had a lot of energy,Copy !req
585. and he used to think
of goofy things to say,Copy !req
586. and he used to think
of goofy things to say,Copy !req
587. even though he didn't speak
English very well and...Copy !req
588. He never smiles anymore now.Copy !req
589. So sad.
Yeah, it's so sad.Copy !req
590. Dad is just kind ofCopy !req
591. away from everybody,
I think.Copy !req
592. He's removed now.Copy !req
593. He's not like a part
of the family, really.Copy !req
594. It's just always
just me and the kids,Copy !req
595. and he's just gone.Copy !req
596. He'll just, like, stand
and just stare,Copy !req
597. 'cause he doesn't know
what to do.Copy !req
598. He's...
He's lost.Copy !req
599. I miss, like...Copy !req
600. When he was just smiling
when I walked in the door,Copy !req
601. When he was just smiling
when I walked in the door,Copy !req
602. you know?Copy !req
603. We need
to bring him back.Copy !req
604. If that restaurant's
got any chanceCopy !req
605. of really, seriously
turning around,Copy !req
606. it can't be done
without him.Copy !req
607. No, I know that.Copy !req
608. I agree.
We can't do it
without him.Copy !req
609. He's the heartbeat.Copy !req
610. I need each
and every one of youCopy !req
611. to give him a—phuh!
A lift,Copy !req
612. in a way that his
self-esteem rises,Copy !req
613. the confidence
starts to shine,Copy !req
614. and more importantly,
we start to get him back.Copy !req
615. I think my dad,
he's checked out.Copy !req
616. I think my dad,
he's checked out.Copy !req
617. I can't remember the last time
I saw him, like...Copy !req
618. Actually happy,Copy !req
619. like, waking up happy,
going to bed happy.Copy !req
620. I wish he could come back
and make it all right.Copy !req
621. Where have you been,
on the lake?Copy !req
622. Sit down.Copy !req
623. Yeah, I know. Well, "A,"
I wanted to—I wanted to comeCopy !req
624. and, uh, see
where it all started.Copy !req
625. and, uh, see
where it all started.Copy !req
626. There's a level of distance
that we've grown apart.Copy !req
627. We need
to narrow the gap.Copy !req
628. Sammy, you go first.Copy !req
629. What inspires you most
about dad?Copy !req
630. Working up
from dishwasher to...Copy !req
631. Restaurant owner.Copy !req
632. He's always the one
that tells meCopy !req
633. to get it right
the first time.Copy !req
634. I learned all my hard work
from him, so...Copy !req
635. Yeah, it's just tough,
you know.Copy !req
636. Like, I want to do
as much as I can.Copy !req
637. It's just hard.Copy !req
638. Okay?Copy !req
639. I believe him.Copy !req
640. Thank you, Sammy.Copy !req
641. Hana...Copy !req
642. If there was one thing
that you would want to sayCopy !req
643. that you've never had
the chance to doCopy !req
644. over the last
four years,Copy !req
645. what would it be?Copy !req
646. I don't think
I ever tell youCopy !req
647. How much I love you.Copy !req
648. I, like—I say
I love you, but...Copy !req
649. I never really
express it.Copy !req
650. I just want
to see you happy.Copy !req
651. I want to try to be
more emotionally supportive.Copy !req
652. We want to support you,Copy !req
653. and we want to do
everything we can.Copy !req
654. It would be a dream
just to...Copy !req
655. be our old selves again.Copy !req
656. Let's pretend that we...Copy !req
657. Let's pretend that we...Copy !req
658. We're starting out,Copy !req
659. and, like, let's try to find
each other againCopy !req
660. and be friends.Copy !req
661. Today we are
gonna start it fresh.Copy !req
662. We wipe the slate clean.Copy !req
663. We start the day
with a family hug.Copy !req
664. Group hug!
Yes?Copy !req
665. Coming up...Copy !req
666. Chef Ramsay puts his plan
for Sushi KoCopy !req
667. into effect.Copy !req
668. Tonight
is a comeback service.Copy !req
669. But Lisa is not supportive.Copy !req
670. I still don't think
he's working very hard.Copy !req
671. It's clear the restaurantCopy !req
672. is not the only thing
that's on the line.Copy !req
673. Akira-san!Copy !req
674. So is their marriage.Copy !req
675. Cut him some slack.Copy !req
676. The wounds run deep,
and no one is backing down...Copy !req
677. - Bang!
- Not Lisa...Copy !req
678. I'm not gonna
take all the blame.Copy !req
679. And not Akira.Copy !req
680. And not Akira.Copy !req
681. I can't believe this!Copy !req
682. The emotional family meeting
really touched Chef Ramsay,Copy !req
683. and he made arrangements
to give Akira and the restaurantCopy !req
684. some much-needed help.
Hello!Copy !req
685. I decided that this familyCopy !req
686. needs a little lift,
a little leg up.Copy !req
687. I've never been
to any Japanese restaurantCopy !req
688. and seen a fridge
with a block of ice in thereCopy !req
689. that broke down
four months ago.Copy !req
690. So I made a few phone callsCopy !req
691. and managed
to get holdCopy !req
692. of seven brand-newCopy !req
693. counter traulsen
refrigeration units.Copy !req
694. counter traulsen
refrigeration units.Copy !req
695. Top of the line, yeah.
Come here and have a look.Copy !req
696. Come round.
Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
697. Yeah, trust me.
Number one.Copy !req
698. Come round.Copy !req
699. Look, come round, Lisa.Copy !req
700. Open them up.Copy !req
701. He's smiling.Copy !req
702. The fridges, to me,
are amazing.Copy !req
703. They're beautiful.
They're great.Copy !req
704. But to see Akira's face
when he heard out about itCopy !req
705. was the best,Copy !req
706. because that's the only time
I've seen him smileCopy !req
707. in four years.Copy !req
708. I didn't stop there.Copy !req
709. I didn't stop there.Copy !req
710. Come with me.Copy !req
711. Yes.Copy !req
712. Have a look atCopy !req
713. two stunning
Vulcan deep fat fryers.Copy !req
714. Oh, my God!Copy !req
715. That's so amazing.Copy !req
716. The most amazingCopy !req
717. eight-ring gas burner.Copy !req
718. The most amazing
walk-in freezer.Copy !req
719. Temperature is visual.Copy !req
720. No more ice bucket.Copy !req
721. Now we have no excuses.Copy !req
722. Great.Copy !req
723. New equipment is just part
of Chef Ramsay's plan.Copy !req
724. He knows there's
another critical changeCopy !req
725. that has to be made
at Sushi Ko.Copy !req
726. It's an asset they should
have taken advantage ofCopy !req
727. a long time ago.Copy !req
728. Tonight
you're gonna cook.Copy !req
729. Okay.
It's a comeback service.Copy !req
730. Okay.
Okay?Copy !req
731. But I want you to grab it
and run with it.Copy !req
732. All right.
How you feeling?Copy !req
733. Excellent.Copy !req
734. Excellent.Copy !req
735. Okay.Copy !req
736. Good.Copy !req
737. Akira, today's gonna helpCopy !req
738. oversee tonight's launch
of the sushi bar.Copy !req
739. Okay?Copy !req
740. Please, welcome
the man himself back.Copy !req
741. Look at you!Copy !req
742. You little pocket rocket.Copy !req
743. Look at you!Copy !req
744. Whoo-hoo!
Welcome back!Copy !req
745. Yes!Copy !req
746. Seeing my dad
in his chef's suitCopy !req
747. was really exciting.Copy !req
748. The sushi bar
is where my dad belongs.Copy !req
749. It's where he started off,Copy !req
750. and he was
a great chef before.Copy !req
751. and he was
a great chef before.Copy !req
752. And he's getting back in it,
so that's great.Copy !req
753. Okay, Lisa,
open the door.Copy !req
754. Hello.
Welcome to Sushi Ko.Copy !req
755. It's gonna be you two?Copy !req
756. For dinner service,Copy !req
757. Not only will they be
serving fresh fish,Copy !req
758. Chef Ramsay prepares with Akira
two new salmon dishesCopy !req
759. that will be featured
on tonight's menu.Copy !req
760. Are you folks
ready to order?Copy !req
761. We'll try
the Sushi Ko crunch.Copy !req
762. Okay.Copy !req
763. All right.Copy !req
764. I don't think Akira's
taking it seriously.Copy !req
765. Even though we are starting
to see a glimpseCopy !req
766. of the old Akira
shining behind the sushi bar...Copy !req
767. Chef Ramsay notices
that his wife LisaCopy !req
768. Chef Ramsay notices
that his wife LisaCopy !req
769. is not supporting him.Copy !req
770. Have some food for you guys
right here.Copy !req
771. It's excellent.
It's good.Copy !req
772. I like it.Copy !req
773. I still don't think
he's working very hard.Copy !req
774. Okay, yeah.Copy !req
775. Okay, thanks for
double-checking on everything.Copy !req
776. Is he working hard?
I don't think so.Copy !req
777. He's still just
walking around.Copy !req
778. I'm worried that Akira's
not gonna ever be the chefCopy !req
779. That he should be.Copy !req
780. I don't think he'll really
follow through with it.Copy !req
781. I don't think he'll really
follow through with it.Copy !req
782. All right.Copy !req
783. Here's some share plates
and soy dishes.Copy !req
784. Wasn't there supposed
to be avocado in it?Copy !req
785. Yeah, did they put
avocado? No?Copy !req
786. They didn't.Copy !req
787. Okay, I'll be right back.Copy !req
788. Lisa, these are wrong.Copy !req
789. Eel roll is supposed
to have avocado in it.Copy !req
790. Okay.Copy !req
791. And this is supposed to be
a Hawaiian rollCopy !req
792. with the shrimp
on top instead,Copy !req
793. but it's
a California roll.Copy !req
794. That's a nightmare.Copy !req
795. Akira-san!Copy !req
796. The eel roll's supposed
to have avocado inside,Copy !req
797. and that needs
Hawaiian sauce.Copy !req
798. and that needs
Hawaiian sauce.Copy !req
799. Okay, all right.
Ugh! Really
pisses me off.Copy !req
800. Lisa's really tough
with Akira.Copy !req
801. When she gets going,
just get out of the way.Copy !req
802. It's like a tornado.Copy !req
803. No, 205 is me.Copy !req
804. Thank you.Copy !req
805. Thank you.Copy !req
806. And the roll.Copy !req
807. Yay!
Thank you!Copy !req
808. I'm so glad to have Akira
back behind the bar.Copy !req
809. It makes everything go
so much smoother.Copy !req
810. Done, done,
done, done, done.Copy !req
811. This is incredible.Copy !req
812. With Akira standing
behind the bar,Copy !req
813. dressed as a chef,
running his restaurant,Copy !req
814. already there's a completely
different feelCopy !req
815. to last night's service.Copy !req
816. Watching my dad
working the kitchenCopy !req
817. and smiling
almost the whole time,Copy !req
818. and smiling
almost the whole time,Copy !req
819. it was just a great feeling.Copy !req
820. Thank you.Copy !req
821. Everything's getting better.Copy !req
822. As dinner service
comes to an end,Copy !req
823. It's clear that Sushi Ko
has a long way to go.Copy !req
824. But the new equipment,Copy !req
825. Akira's new attitude,Copy !req
826. and a couple of new dishesCopy !req
827. have Chef Ramsay feeling better
about its chances.Copy !req
828. First of all,Copy !req
829. Let me be really blunt,
uh, with you.Copy !req
830. And something you—
you need to hear.Copy !req
831. Okay.
Yeah?Copy !req
832. Honestly...
Yes?Copy !req
833. Honestly...
Yes?Copy !req
834. Tonight you were
a different man.Copy !req
835. The change
is night and day.Copy !req
836. Not only did you
look good,Copy !req
837. but you seemed
to look likeCopy !req
838. you were enjoying
what you were doing.Copy !req
839. I've got total respect
for you today.Copy !req
840. Good job.
Thanks.Copy !req
841. I need a quick chat
with your wife.Copy !req
842. Now, he may have changed,Copy !req
843. Now, he may have changed,Copy !req
844. but unfortunately,
you haven't.Copy !req
845. The difference in that man
in 24 hoursCopy !req
846. is night and day.Copy !req
847. And not once tonightCopy !req
848. did you mention
anything to him.Copy !req
849. And you can't be
that cold.Copy !req
850. You're acting
like a block of ice.Copy !req
851. He's not your head chef.Copy !req
852. He's your husband.Copy !req
853. Yeah.Copy !req
854. And here's the thing.Copy !req
855. You're tough.
You've been through a lot.Copy !req
856. And over the last
four or five years,Copy !req
857. And over the last
four or five years,Copy !req
858. you've become stronger
than he has.Copy !req
859. Coming from the outside in,Copy !req
860. it's so evident.Copy !req
861. You're,
bang, bang, bang.Copy !req
862. Back off.Copy !req
863. I'm not around.Copy !req
864. I'm not gonna take
all the blame,Copy !req
865. But I agree
that I am a bitch to AkiraCopy !req
866. and I'm—I agree that
it's not a good way to be.Copy !req
867. I think,
between you and I,Copy !req
868. that man needs you
more than ever before.Copy !req
869. Oh, totally, yeah.Copy !req
870. What you need to doCopy !req

961. for the big night.Copy !req
962. Help each other.
Talk to each other, okay?Copy !req
963. Sure.
All right.Copy !req

Let's bust one out.Copy !req
966. They just got two more.Copy !req
967. Lettuce wrap
in the window.Copy !req
968. Okay, give it to me.Copy !req
969. The yellowtail roll.Copy !req
970. Akira, at his rightful
place in the kitchen,Copy !req
971. pushes the first orders out.Copy !req
972. Oh, my gosh,
that's really good.Copy !req
973. And customers are satisfiedCopy !req
974. with what the new Sushi Ko
has to offer.Copy !req
975. The beef
is very tender.Copy !req
976. But soon after,
old habits return,Copy !req
977. and Akira
is doing everythingCopy !req
978. except what he needs
to do most—cook.Copy !req
979. except what he needs
to do most—cook.Copy !req
980. Thank you.Copy !req
981. All right,
thank you very much.Copy !req
982. I've been waiting for a special
for a half an hour.Copy !req
983. Lisa, the food's
hanging aroundCopy !req
984. too long in the window.Copy !req
985. Okay.Copy !req
986. Without a leader,Copy !req
987. the kitchen
is falling behind.Copy !req
988. It's dying
in the window.Copy !req
989. And the impact
is starting to be feltCopy !req
990. in the dining room.Copy !req
991. No.Copy !req
992. There's more tickets there.Copy !req
993. Earlier tonight,
Akira was doing really wellCopy !req
994. Behind the sushi bar,Copy !req
995. Behind the sushi bar,Copy !req
996. but now he's falling back
into his old ways already.Copy !req
997. He's out bussing tables,Copy !req
998. and he's not paying attention
to what's happening.Copy !req
999. We need him to be
back behind the bar again.Copy !req
1000. What are you doing
carrying that thing?Copy !req
1001. "They need the help."Copy !req
1002. All right.Copy !req
1003. Honestly, I'm worried.Copy !req
1004. You went back
to your old ways.Copy !req
1005. You didn't cook anything.Copy !req
1006. You bussed tables,
you served food.Copy !req
1007. You delegated.Copy !req
1008. Why weren't you cooking?
Why weren't you...Copy !req
1009. Why weren't you cooking?
Why weren't you...Copy !req
1010. Can you not do it?Copy !req
1011. You're not
a manager.Copy !req
1012. You're not a busboy.Copy !req
1013. You're the chef.Copy !req
1014. Come on.Copy !req
1015. Finally, towards
the end of dinner service,Copy !req
1016. Akira took
Chef Ramsay's advice...Copy !req
1017. Okay.Copy !req
1018. And jumped back into cooking
in the kitchen.Copy !req
1019. 210.
Yeah, thank you.Copy !req
1020. But, for the most part,Copy !req
1021. it was his staff
who pulled togetherCopy !req
1022. and made tonight's relaunch
a success.Copy !req
1023. Thank you!Copy !req
1024. The good news
about tonightCopy !req
1025. is the customers
loved the food.Copy !req
1026. Yeah.
Yes?Copy !req
1027. This restaurant
took a huge leap forward...Copy !req
1028. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.Copy !req
1029. In terms of spreading
the message out there.Copy !req
1030. In terms of spreading
the message out there.Copy !req
1031. But I just want to know
what you're gonna do.Copy !req
1032. What's gonna happen
when I'm gone?Copy !req
1033. You are a talented man!Copy !req
1034. You've just forgotten
how talented you are.Copy !req
1035. What are you talented for,
picking up plates?Copy !req
1036. No.
Why are you
a talented man?Copy !req
1037. Cooking.
That's right.Copy !req
1038. So if you're gonna
dress the part,Copy !req
1039. look the part,Copy !req
1040. cook your socks off.
you got it.Copy !req
1041. If I catch
your skinny little assCopy !req
1042. that side of the table,
I swear to God...Copy !req
1043. But, Lisa, you've got
to support each other.Copy !req
1044. I came in, I first arrived,
the whole family,Copy !req
1045. not just the restaurant,
was just fragmented—Copy !req
1046. four different individuals
seeking different ambitionsCopy !req
1047. with different attitudes,Copy !req
1048. and no one singing
off the same page.Copy !req
1049. But there's a reconnect
that's taken place.Copy !req
1050. There's a level of clarity,
proper understanding,Copy !req
1051. and we all know
what we've got to do.Copy !req
1052. Please.Copy !req
1053. Having Chef Ramsay
come into our lives is...Copy !req
1054. It's meant the world.Copy !req
1055. Yeah, we have to start over,Copy !req
1056. and I'm nervous asCopy !req
1057. that it's not
gonna go smoothly.Copy !req
1058. And I just am thankful
for this new chance.Copy !req
1059. Take care.
Thank you.Copy !req
1060. Yes.
Good night.Copy !req
1061. Thank you so much.Copy !req
1062. Arigato.
Domo arigato.Copy !req
1063. Thank you.
Been an absolute
pleasure.Copy !req
1064. All right, give me a hug.Copy !req
1065. All right, give me a hug.Copy !req
1066. They never hug
in Japan.Copy !req
1067. He's gonna
pick you up.Copy !req
1068. Okay.Copy !req
1069. Bye.Copy !req
1070. It was really cool
to see my parentsCopy !req
1071. Give each other
kisses and stuff.Copy !req
1072. I haven't seen that
in a while.Copy !req
1073. Group hug.Copy !req
1074. Working with each otherCopy !req
1075. and supporting each other,Copy !req
1076. it's gonna give us more hope
than we had before.Copy !req
1077. What a week.
We made a lot of changes.Copy !req
1078. What a week.
We made a lot of changes.Copy !req
1079. We changed the equipment,
we changed the menu,Copy !req
1080. and we changed the decor.Copy !req
1081. But what this family
failed to realizeCopy !req
1082. is that their greatest assetCopy !req
1083. was something I could
never have given them,Copy !req
1084. because it was themselves.Copy !req
1085. And it's that that will
make this place successful.Copy !req
1086. Whew, what a week.Copy !req
1087. Sayonara, Thousand Oaks.Copy !req
1088. In the days that followed,Copy !req
1089. Sushi Ko
saw a boost in business,Copy !req
1090. and Lisa and Akira were working
as a team once again.Copy !req
1091. and Lisa and Akira were working
as a team once again.Copy !req
1092. Yeah, let's clean
this space up here.Copy !req
1093. Recently, they decidedCopy !req
1094. that in order
to maximize profits,Copy !req
1095. they would search out
a new locationCopy !req
1096. where the rents
weren't as high.Copy !req
1097. Regardless of the location,Copy !req
1098. the most valuable lesson
this family may have learnedCopy !req
1099. was not how to run
their business,Copy !req
1100. but how to appreciate
each other.Copy !req
