1. Babe.
Copy !req
2. Please don't smoke. It'll kill your palate.
Copy !req
3. Then my palate will die happy.
Copy !req
4. Hey.
Copy !req
5. Margot, tonight is huge, okay?
Copy !req
6. The flavor profiles, it's all super delicate.
Copy !req
7. When you smoke, you ruin your ability...
Copy !req
8. - to be able to appreciate them.
- Oh, come on!
Copy !req
9. Please. Please.
Copy !req
10. Fine. Jesus.
Copy !req
11. Thank you.
Copy !req
12. Thank God.
Copy !req
13. Is that gonna fit everyone?
Copy !req
14. Yeah, easily. Twelve customers total.
Copy !req
15. A night?
Copy !req
16. How do they turn a profit?
Copy !req
17. $1,250 a head. That's how.
Copy !req
18. You're fucking kidding, right?
Copy !req
19. What, are we eating a Rolex?
Copy !req
20. Come on, let's not ruin this
by talking price, yeah?
Copy !req
21. Just go with the flow.
Copy !req
22. Let it be magical.
Copy !req
23. Hey, it's your dime.
Copy !req
24. - Not bad!
- Oh, thanks, man.
Copy !req
25. You deserve this, baby.
Copy !req
26. You know who's gonna love this? Betty!
Copy !req
27. It's just a "fuck you" to Accounts.
Copy !req
28. It's not even a client dinner.
Copy !req
29. Fuck. We're dicks, huh?
Copy !req
30. Great. A power tasting.
Copy !req
31. They'll be wasted by the amuse.
Copy !req
32. - Hi, guys.
- By boat.
Copy !req
33. How did you think we were
gonna get on the...
Copy !req
34. Look at you on a gangplank in heels.
Copy !req
35. Fuck.
Copy !req
36. Holy fucking shit.
Copy !req
37. Lillian Bloom. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
38. Who's Lillian Bloom?
Copy !req
39. Food critic for Saveur.
Copy !req
40. She basically discovered Slowik.
Copy !req
41. Okay, well, it's official.
Copy !req
42. Tonight will be madness.
Copy !req
43. All aboard for Hawthorn!
Copy !req
44. Hawthorn! All aboard!
Copy !req
45. Wow.
Copy !req
46. Ladies and gentlemen,
please make yourselves comfortable...
Copy !req
47. for our short journey to Hawthorn Island.
Copy !req
48. - Thank you.
- Ahoy!
Copy !req
49. And avast, me hearties!
Copy !req
50. Let's hope she's seaworthy, eh?
Copy !req
51. Yes, sir. Yeah.
Copy !req
52. Boat jokes.
Copy !req
53. - Yeah, yeah.
- Boat, yeah.
Copy !req
54. - We're on a boat.
- Yeah. We're on a boat.
Copy !req
55. Hey, we got a famous person on board, huh?
Copy !req
56. FP in the house.
Copy !req
57. Barely F anymore, though. It's not 1998.
Copy !req
58. He's a P, and he's F.
Copy !req
59. Oh, my God. Check it out.
Copy !req
60. Hey, aren't you supposed
to be running interference for me?
Copy !req
61. Make sure people don't bother me, then?
Copy !req
62. God, we both know you were not bothered.
Copy !req
63. I saw all his movies when I was a kid.
Copy !req
64. - Hey, listen.
- Apparently, he's a big foodie.
Copy !req
65. You know, thinks he is.
Copy !req
66. Chef Slowik would like to welcome you...
Copy !req
67. with a raw local oyster
in a mignonette emulsion...
Copy !req
68. with lemon caviar and an oyster leaf. Enjoy.
Copy !req
69. - Beautiful. Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
70. It's one of his classics.
Copy !req
71. The lemon pearls are made with alginate.
Copy !req
72. Alginate, as in...
Copy !req
73. As in algae. Come on.
Copy !req
74. Right, yeah.
Copy !req
75. - Pond scum.
- It's not...
Copy !req
76. Delicious.
Copy !req
77. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
78. It's laughable.
Copy !req
79. It's actually fucking laughably good.
Copy !req
80. It's good.
Copy !req
81. Think I prefer just the oyster, though.
Copy !req
82. Love oysters.
Copy !req
83. No. No. It's the balance of the products.
Copy !req
84. You need the mouthfeel of the mignonette.
Copy !req
85. Please don't say "mouthfeel."
Copy !req
86. Too late. Mouthfeel.
Copy !req
87. Hi.
Copy !req
88. Thank you.
Copy !req
89. Jesus, this is like prom.
Copy !req
90. Yeah? I never went to prom.
Copy !req
91. Really? Why not?
Copy !req
92. 'Cause none of the cool girls like you
said, "Yes."
Copy !req
93. Aw, poor baby.
Copy !req
94. Well, fuck those bitches.
Copy !req
95. - Bryce.
- Welcome.
Copy !req
96. Welcome, Mr. Lorimer.
Copy !req
97. - Hello. Felicity Lynn.
- Hello. Good evening.
Copy !req
98. - And Damien Garcia.
- And Mr. George Diaz.
Copy !req
99. - Mr. Diaz. Welcome.
- You gave my real name?
Copy !req
100. Of course I gave them your real name.
Copy !req
101. - What about the paparazzi?
- It's a pleasure to have you.
Copy !req
102. Paparazzi? We're on an island.
Of course I gave them your real name.
Copy !req
103. Welcome to Hawthorn.
Copy !req
104. Mr. Ledford and Miss Westervelt?
Copy !req
105. Oh, no.
Copy !req
106. Sorry, yeah, no. That was...
Copy !req
107. That's not Miss... She had a change of plans,
so Miss Westervelt couldn't...
Copy !req
108. This is Miss...
Copy !req
109. I'm Margot.
Copy !req
110. Hi. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
111. Margot. Welcome.
Copy !req
112. We'll endeavor to make your evening
as pleasant as possible.
Copy !req
113. - Thanks.
- Right this way.
Copy !req
114. Thanks.
Copy !req
115. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
116. That was really awkward. I'm sorry.
That was not...
Copy !req
117. No, no. Fine.
Copy !req
118. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
119. Sorry.
Copy !req
120. Mr. Leibrandt.
Copy !req
121. Mrs. Leibrandt. Welcome.
Copy !req
122. We'll just go straight to the restaurant,
if you don't mind.
Copy !req
123. - We've seen the tour many, many times.
- Yes, yes, you have.
Copy !req
124. My esteemed guests can continue
their conversation this way.
Copy !req
125. Thank you. Please follow me.
Copy !req
126. So, like, what are you working on now?
Copy !req
127. Aw, hey, thanks for asking.
Copy !req
128. See, people still know me.
Copy !req
129. I'm moving into the presenter phase
of my career.
Copy !req
130. You know? Do me.
Copy !req
131. Hawthorn Island comprises 12 acres
of forest and pasture.
Copy !req
132. We have the bounty of the sea surrounding us.
Copy !req
133. Oh, yeah, right.
Copy !req
134. Out there, right now, we are harvesting
scallops. You'll eat them tonight.
Copy !req
135. - No, get out. Oh, shoot!
- Yes.
Copy !req
136. Hey!
Copy !req
137. Hey, harvest harder, me dude!
Copy !req
138. We're starving!
Copy !req
139. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
140. I do like the sense of it being a sort
of biome of culinary ideas.
Copy !req
141. Right. Like, it functions like
an epicurean salon.
Copy !req
142. No, I like biome better I think.
Copy !req
143. Biome's better. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's... Yeah.
Copy !req
144. We have reached
the base camp of Mount Bullshit.
Copy !req
145. This is insane.
Copy !req
146. Smell that.
Copy !req
147. We're gonna be hungry.
Copy !req
148. Yeah, I'm a huge embarrassing foodie.
Copy !req
149. I love this stuff.
Copy !req
150. And I'm close, personal friends
with the chef.
Copy !req
151. Okay, player.
Copy !req
152. Our smokehouse is in the Nordic tradition.
Copy !req
153. We use the meat of dairy cows only...
Copy !req
154. which we age for an astonishing 152 days
to relax the protein strands.
Copy !req
155. - Yes. Yes.
- Can we pop in here?
Copy !req
156. Dude, I read about one of these online.
Copy !req
157. Oh, yeah?
Can I check it out?
Copy !req
158. - Korean barbeque.
- Yes.
Copy !req
159. But please, do not touch our proteins.
They're immature.
Copy !req
160. So, what happens if you serve it
on the 153rd day?
Copy !req
161. Does all hell break loose, or...
Copy !req
162. Well, I suppose the bacteria
would introduce itself...
Copy !req
163. to the consumer's bloodstream
and spread into their spinal membranes...
Copy !req
164. after which point,
he or she would become incapacitated...
Copy !req
165. and shortly thereafter expire.
Copy !req
166. So, yes, all hell would break loose.
Copy !req
167. Good thing we're pros, yes?
Copy !req
168. - I'd like to work for her.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
169. Cool.
Copy !req
170. This is where we live.
Copy !req
171. Yeah? What, you actually live here?
All of you?
Copy !req
172. All of us.
Copy !req
173. Except Chef.
Copy !req
174. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
175. Esprit de corps. No?
Copy !req
176. No, Mr. Feldman.
Copy !req
177. It's very much more than that.
Copy !req
178. Here we are family.
Copy !req
179. Each day starts at 6:00,
with five hours of prep work.
Copy !req
180. We harvest. We ferment.
Copy !req
181. We slaughter. We marinate.
Copy !req
182. We liquify. We spherify.
Copy !req
183. We gel.
Copy !req
184. - They "gel?"
- Yeah.
Copy !req
185. We gel.
Copy !req
186. Dinner is typically
four hours and 25 minutes.
Copy !req
187. Each day ends at well past 2:00
in the morning.
Copy !req
188. So yes, it's best that we all live here.
Copy !req
189. You guys ever get burned out, or...
Copy !req
190. - "Burned out?"
- Yeah, sorry, sorry.
Copy !req
191. Like, tired of doing the same thing?
Copy !req
192. Chef holds himself to the highest standard,
and so do we.
Copy !req
193. We never burn anything unless by design...
Copy !req
194. to make delicious.
Copy !req
195. Now, who's hungry?
Copy !req
196. There is food at the end of this, right?
Copy !req
197. Boat food to dinner table.
Copy !req
198. Elsa.
Copy !req
199. Excuse me.
Copy !req
200. Elsa. Elsa, hi.
Copy !req
201. Who lives there?
Copy !req
202. Chef.
Copy !req
203. Can we see that?
Copy !req
204. Even we are not allowed
inside Chef's cottage, Mr. Ledford.
Copy !req
205. Come on.
Copy !req
206. We mustn't disturb
the Lord High Emperor of Sustenance.
Copy !req
207. Yeah, all right.
Copy !req
208. Isn't the GOAT the greatest of all time,
though?
Copy !req
209. No, no, no. Back in the day...
Copy !req
210. You think he'd pick that big guy?
Copy !req
211. So, I think that maybe
we'll just time the post.
Copy !req
212. Oh, yeah? Bring you to the best spots?
Copy !req
213. Yes, well, I book the best spots.
So you tell me.
Copy !req
214. With my name.
Copy !req
215. Well, I...
Copy !req
216. Hi, again.
Copy !req
217. Gentlemen, parfait?
Copy !req
218. Look at that view.
Copy !req
219. Wanna take a picture?
Copy !req
220. Where we going, chief?
Copy !req
221. Here. Switch seats with me.
Copy !req
222. - Miss...
- Mills.
Copy !req
223. Ms. Mills. You will be sitting
in Miss Westervelt's seat.
Copy !req
224. Just... You should have the better view.
Copy !req
225. Well, I don't need a better view.
Copy !req
226. No, I'm gonna look at the kitchen.
Copy !req
227. Thank you!
Copy !req
228. The rosé, we'll get first.
Copy !req
229. Enjoy.
Copy !req
230. Feel free to observe the cooks
as they innovate.
Copy !req
231. But please, do not photograph our dishes.
Copy !req
232. Chef strongly feels that the beauty
in his creations...
Copy !req
233. lies in their ephemeral nature.
Copy !req
234. Here, come on. We can't miss this.
Copy !req
235. Do you make that with a Pacojet?
Copy !req
236. Exactly right, sir.
Copy !req
237. You know, a Pacojet can produce a powderized,
snow-like texture.
Copy !req
238. Cool.
Copy !req
239. Yeah. I have one.
Copy !req
240. You really know your stuff, Mr. Ledford.
Copy !req
241. You know my name?
Copy !req
242. We like to know everyone who dines with us.
Copy !req
243. And Chef, is he around here somewhere?
I'd love to talk with him.
Copy !req
244. Why don't you take your seat?
Copy !req
245. We're about to serve.
Copy !req
246. Right. Yeah, okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
247. - Wow.
- More Lambrusco, madam?
Copy !req
248. Well, the attention to detail,
it's like, fuck!
Copy !req
249. - And he knew my name, babe!
- Yeah. I noticed you didn't ask his name.
Copy !req
250. Yeah, well, you know.
Copy !req
251. There he is.
Copy !req
252. Fuck me.
Copy !req
253. Is he looking at me?
Copy !req
254. Bland? You call that bland?
Copy !req
255. Well, it is bland.
Copy !req
256. You like the winter, don't you?
Copy !req
257. - I don't actually...
- Fucking freak.
Copy !req
258. Here we have a compressed and pickled
cucumber melon...
Copy !req
259. milk snow, and charred lace.
Copy !req
260. - Thanks.
- Enjoy.
Copy !req
261. This ongoing obsession with snow.
Copy !req
262. It's officially a plague,
and no one is immune.
Copy !req
263. Can you taste a little goat?
Copy !req
264. Right at the end. A little kid.
Copy !req
265. She said milk.
Copy !req
266. I wonder.
Copy !req
267. - She did not say of what species.
- She did not.
Copy !req
268. I want to hear your pitch for the show...
Copy !req
269. but first I would like to say "thank you"
for the last two years.
Copy !req
270. This opportunity has been...
Copy !req
271. The best of your life?
Copy !req
272. - Let's have to many, many, many more.
- Come on. I'm trying to do a goodbye toast.
Copy !req
273. Can you please just let me do that?
Copy !req
274. - No, it ain't. No, it ain't.
- Yes, it is.
Copy !req
275. - I'm starting a new position.
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
276. My mom got me a job at Sony.
Copy !req
277. I told you this two weeks ago.
Copy !req
278. Here's my work phone.
Copy !req
279. - Here's the production company's credit card.
- What are you doin'? Non-transferrable.
Copy !req
280. And here is the key to your house in LA...
Copy !req
281. - I don't have pockets.
- ... your apartment in New York...
Copy !req
282. and your other apartment in New York
that your wife doesn't know about.
Copy !req
283. - How's Amanda?
- Take it because I won't be there on Monday.
Copy !req
284. We're doing this?
The "talking about our lives" thing?
Copy !req
285. - Is that it? We're close?
- Hey, I don't want to either.
Copy !req
286. - But shouldn't we?
- Well, do we have to?
Copy !req
287. Well, not good, Bryce. Okay?
Copy !req
288. Me and Amanda are not good. It's not good.
Copy !req
289. Are you at fault?
Copy !req
290. No, it was her fault.
She made me text her coworker.
Copy !req
291. Yeah, fucking of course it's my fault, bro.
Copy !req
292. I'm an asshole.
Copy !req
293. Well, at least we have work.
Copy !req
294. - And money.
- To work and money.
Copy !req
295. - Yeah, baby.
- Yeah, baby.
Copy !req
296. We're pathetic, aren't we?
Copy !req
297. Oh, my God, dude. Somebody, shoot us.
Copy !req
298. No, I'm not gonna have...
Copy !req
299. Jesus Christ. I want to live
inside this thing.
Copy !req
300. So it's okay...
Copy !req
301. that I'm not as into this as you are?
Copy !req
302. Oh, no, no. It's good.
Copy !req
303. I'm sitting with the coolest girl here.
Copy !req
304. Okay, so what is it with this food thing?
Copy !req
305. I don't know. It's like,
you know how people idolize...
Copy !req
306. you know, athletes, and musicians...
Copy !req
307. - and painters, and stuff?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
308. Yeah, those people are idiots.
Copy !req
309. What they do, it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
310. They play with inflatable balls
and ukuleles and shit.
Copy !req
311. Chefs...
Copy !req
312. they play with the raw materials
of life itself.
Copy !req
313. And death itself.
Copy !req
314. I mean, I've watched every fucking episode
of Chef's Table two or three times.
Copy !req
315. I've watched Slowik's 20 times.
Copy !req
316. I've watched him explain the exact moment
a green strawberry is perfectly unripe.
Copy !req
317. I've watched him plate a raw scallop
during its last dying contraction of muscle.
Copy !req
318. It's art on the edge of the abyss...
Copy !req
319. which is where God works, too. It's the same.
Copy !req
320. That was beautifully put, Tyler.
Copy !req
321. - Stop. Don't. No.
- No! I'm being serious.
Copy !req
322. I think I'm starting to get it.
Copy !req
323. - Really?
- Yeah. A little.
Copy !req
324. Okay.
Copy !req
325. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
326. Good evening.
Copy !req
327. Good evening.
Copy !req
328. - Good evening. Hello.
- Hello.
Copy !req
329. Welcome to Hawthorn.
Copy !req
330. I am Julian Slowik, and tonight
it'll be our pleasure to feed you.
Copy !req
331. The curtain rises.
Copy !req
332. Over the next few hours...
Copy !req
333. you will ingest fat...
Copy !req
334. salt, sugar, protein...
Copy !req
335. bacteria, fungi...
Copy !req
336. various plants and animals...
Copy !req
337. and, at times, entire ecosystems.
Copy !req
338. But I have to beg of you one thing.
Copy !req
339. It's just one.
Copy !req
340. Do not eat.
Copy !req
341. Is he serious?
Copy !req
342. Taste.
Copy !req
343. Savor.
Copy !req
344. Relish.
Copy !req
345. Consider every morsel
that you place inside your mouth.
Copy !req
346. Be mindful.
Copy !req
347. But do not eat.
Copy !req
348. Our menu is too precious for that.
Copy !req
349. And look around you.
Copy !req
350. Here we are on this island.
Copy !req
351. Accept.
Copy !req
352. Accept all of it.
Copy !req
353. And forgive.
Copy !req
354. And on that note...
Copy !req
355. food!
Copy !req
356. Yeah, yeah. Bring it, bring it.
Copy !req
357. Here they come.
Copy !req
358. Oh, wow. It's like a marching band.
Copy !req
359. Our first course is called "The Island."
Copy !req
360. On your plate are plants
from around the island...
Copy !req
361. placed on rocks from the shore...
Copy !req
362. covered in barely frozen,
filtered seawater...
Copy !req
363. which will flavor the dish as it melts.
Copy !req
364. You know, this is what the guy
was fishing for earlier...
Copy !req
365. Sorry?
Copy !req
366. Sorry, Chef.
Copy !req
367. It's perfectly all right.
Copy !req
368. Yes, they are those very same scallops.
Copy !req
369. Now, here is what you must remember
about this dish.
Copy !req
370. We, the people on this island,
are not important.
Copy !req
371. The island and the nutrients it provides...
Copy !req
372. exist in their most perfect state
without us gathering them...
Copy !req
373. or manipulating them, or digesting them.
Copy !req
374. What happens inside this room
is meaningless...
Copy !req
375. compared to what happens outside in nature...
Copy !req
376. in the soil, in the water...
Copy !req
377. in the air.
Copy !req
378. We are but a frightened nanosecond.
Copy !req
379. Nature is timeless.
Copy !req
380. Enjoy.
Copy !req
381. That's a cheery thought.
Copy !req
382. Are you crying?
Copy !req
383. It's just that I find it all very moving.
It's all so beautiful.
Copy !req
384. It's almost too beautiful to eat.
Copy !req
385. You know, the nicest restaurant
in my hometown was...
Copy !req
386. You don't think Chef's mad at me, right?
Copy !req
387. For the scallop thing?
Copy !req
388. You don't have to call him "Chef," Tyler.
Copy !req
389. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know
about your existence.
Copy !req
390. I kind of want him to...
Copy !req
391. - Like you?
- Yeah. Kinda.
Copy !req
392. Tyler, you're the customer.
Copy !req
393. You're paying him to serve you.
Copy !req
394. It doesn't really matter
whether he likes you or not.
Copy !req
395. Right. Wait. What does that mean?
Copy !req
396. Nothing.
Copy !req
397. Relax. Just eat your rock.
Copy !req
398. And to pair, from our friends
at Caroline Morey...
Copy !req
399. a Chassagne-Montrachet...
Copy !req
400. premier cru from 2014.
Copy !req
401. Not just a single vineyard.
Copy !req
402. A single row of vines.
Copy !req
403. - Wow. Perfect.
- It's magical.
Copy !req
404. Thoughts? I'm really feeling this is quite...
Copy !req
405. It's half-great. It's there in moments.
Copy !req
406. There in moments.
Copy !req
407. There's a neediness to the plating, you know.
Copy !req
408. I mean, it's been tweezered to fuck.
Copy !req
409. But the flavors are there. It's very clean.
Copy !req
410. It's very thalassic.
Copy !req
411. - "Thalassic?"
- Oceanic.
Copy !req
412. - Thalassa was the primeval spirit of the sea.
- Thalassa and Pontus.
Copy !req
413. - Yes, yes, yes.
- Correct.
Copy !req
414. We're eating the ocean.
Copy !req
415. We're eating the ocean.
Copy !req
416. - Yeah.
- Yes.
Copy !req
417. How is it?
Copy !req
418. It's good.
Copy !req
419. You can't just say "good" for the show.
Copy !req
420. You have to embellish.
Copy !req
421. Oh, my God. For crying out loud.
It's not brain surgery, okay?
Copy !req
422. - It's a goddamn travel-food show.
- I know. Okay, so then, do it.
Copy !req
423. Yeah, yeah. So pitch it to me.
Copy !req
424. Okay, so we go to Italy, right?
Copy !req
425. We shoot me in capri pants
on a pastel green Vespa...
Copy !req
426. driving around to get to some Giuseppe's farm
with cheese.
Copy !req
427. I eat the cheese, and then...
Copy !req
428. There's a close-up of me.
Copy !req
429. And I close my eyes, and I fake an orgasm...
Copy !req
430. and then off to South Africa...
Copy !req
431. and then, I maybe...
I talk about how racism is not so cool...
Copy !req
432. and bingo bongo, Emmy time.
Copy !req
433. - That's it?
- Okay? Can I eat now?
Copy !req
434. That's what you're gonna pitch
to three streaming services on Monday?
Copy !req
435. - Yeah. Pretty much. That's that.
- Yeah. Jesus fucking Christ.
Copy !req
436. That's a disaster.
Copy !req
437. I don't think you can go to South Africa
with a DUI.
Copy !req
438. - You like this?
- The otter food?
Copy !req
439. Yeah. It's solid.
Copy !req
440. I mean, I've had shellfish just as good
with my chef at home, Ricardo.
Copy !req
441. You know Ricardo. He's amazing.
Copy !req
442. Incredible.
Copy !req
443. Whatever. At least we can say
we've been here, right?
Copy !req
444. My dad used to say
that you buy the experience.
Copy !req
445. I mean, this looks like...
Copy !req
446. a suburban landscaping.
Copy !req
447. What the fuck?
Copy !req
448. I saw Perry at DeLaurenti's the other day.
Copy !req
449. How is he?
Copy !req
450. You know...
Copy !req
451. Perry.
Copy !req
452. Thank you.
Copy !req
453. I want plating in five!
Copy !req
454. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
455. Is he gonna keep doing that?
Copy !req
456. Bread has existed in some form
for over 12,000 years...
Copy !req
457. especially amongst the poor.
Copy !req
458. Flour and water.
Copy !req
459. What could be simpler?
Copy !req
460. Even today, grain represents 65%
of all agriculture.
Copy !req
461. Fruits and vegetables only 6%.
Copy !req
462. Ancient Greek peasants dipped their stale,
measly bread in wine for breakfast.
Copy !req
463. And how did Jesus teach us to pray
if not to beg for our daily bread?
Copy !req
464. Beg for our daily bread.
Copy !req
465. It is, and has always been,
the food of the common man.
Copy !req
466. But you, my dear guests,
are not the common man.
Copy !req
467. And so tonight...
Copy !req
468. you get no bread.
Copy !req
469. - He must be joking.
- He's joking.
Copy !req
470. This is next-level.
Copy !req
471. How are you not gonna...
Wow, he's not kidding.
Copy !req
472. Not gonna serve bread at a restaurant
known for their bread. That's sweet.
Copy !req
473. - What?
- Thank you.
Copy !req
474. It's not a fake-out, is it?
Copy !req
475. - What?
- No.
Copy !req
476. It's gotta be a bit.
Copy !req
477. Are you fuckin' serious?
Copy !req
478. In this spirit, please enjoy
the unaccompanied accompaniments.
Copy !req
479. "The bread you will not be eating tonight...
Copy !req
480. "was made from a heritage wheat
called red fife...
Copy !req
481. "crafted with our partners
at the Tehachapi Grain Project...
Copy !req
482. "devoted to preserving heirloom grains."
Copy !req
483. This is insane.
Copy !req
484. I gotta say that the shit around
the total absence of the bread...
Copy !req
485. is, like, really good.
Copy !req
486. I mean, it's a little outrageous, isn't it?
Copy !req
487. It's fiendish, really.
Copy !req
488. I mean, he's always been keenly aware of food
as a history of class...
Copy !req
489. I mean, as have I.
Copy !req
490. Sure.
Copy !req
491. Though I will say that this emulsion
does look slightly split.
Copy !req
492. Yeah.
Copy !req
493. I mean, I wasn't gonna say anything.
Copy !req
494. I noticed as soon as it came down.
Copy !req
495. It's broken. It's broken.
Copy !req
496. Yeah, which is really...
I mean, you really...
Copy !req
497. You really shouldn't see that in a restaurant
of this quality. There it is.
Copy !req
498. - Well, there it is.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
499. Oh, my God. I mean,
it's next-level badassery.
Copy !req
500. The way he weaves in historical allegories.
Copy !req
501. I mean, the game is trying to guess...
Copy !req
502. what the overarching theme
of the entire meal is gonna be.
Copy !req
503. You won't know until the end.
Copy !req
504. Wait. You like this?
Copy !req
505. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Copy !req
506. He's basically insulting you.
Copy !req
507. No, no, no. You don't get it.
Copy !req
508. It's a concept.
Copy !req
509. I know what a concept is, Tyler.
Copy !req
510. Trust me. He's telling a story.
Copy !req
511. That's what makes his food so exciting.
Copy !req
512. He's not just a chef. He's a storyteller.
Copy !req
513. And he doesn't give a fuck about the rules.
Copy !req
514. Call me the girl next door...
Copy !req
515. but maybe there are some rules
that you should give a fuck about...
Copy !req
516. like, I don't know...
Copy !req
517. giving food to people at a restaurant.
Copy !req
518. Dearest, no one would ever call you
the girl next door.
Copy !req
519. I make my own bread.
Copy !req
520. - You do? I didn't know that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
521. Yeah. I mean, it's very rustic.
Copy !req
522. It's peasant style. Yeasty.
Copy !req
523. What kind of yeast are you using?
Copy !req
524. I make my own from apples.
Copy !req
525. Well, of course you make your own yeast
from apples.
Copy !req
526. You wicked thing.
Copy !req
527. Ms. Bloom?
Copy !req
528. Here is another broken emulsion.
Copy !req
529. Courtesy of Chef Slowik.
Copy !req
530. - Hello.
- Excuse me.
Copy !req
531. Is everything to your liking, sir?
Copy !req
532. Well, actually, no. Thanks for asking.
Copy !req
533. I mean, look, the food's great
and we totally get all the conceptual stuff.
Copy !req
534. But could we please get a little bread?
Copy !req
535. You know, and some gluten-free
for my friend as well?
Copy !req
536. No.
Copy !req
537. "No?"
Copy !req
538. No.
Copy !req
539. Okay.
Copy !req
540. This is all very clever,
and I didn't want to pull this card...
Copy !req
541. but you know who we are, right?
Copy !req
542. Yes.
Copy !req
543. You do? You know who we are?
Copy !req
544. I know who you are.
Copy !req
545. Then you know we work with Doug Verrick,
right?
Copy !req
546. No, you work for Mr. Verrick.
Copy !req
547. - Exactly.
- Oh, fuck it.
Copy !req
548. And so you know,
we all play on the same team.
Copy !req
549. So, just slip us a little bread.
Copy !req
550. Please.
Copy !req
551. We won't tell a soul, lady.
Copy !req
552. - I promise, okay?
- No.
Copy !req
553. Did you say, "No?"
Copy !req
554. I said, "No." Yes.
Copy !req
555. - Okay.
- Okay.
Copy !req
556. - Wow.
- Okay.
Copy !req
557. That will be all, though. Thanks.
Copy !req
558. May I?
Copy !req
559. You don't have to do...
Okay.
Copy !req
560. You will eat less than you desire
and more than you deserve.
Copy !req
561. It's a pleasure to serve you.
Copy !req
562. Well, I remain in ketosis,
so that's good news.
Copy !req
563. Without the bread, it really focuses you.
Copy !req
564. It's so fucking good.
Embalm me in this.
Copy !req
565. - Are you not gonna try it?
- No.
Copy !req
566. - No?
- No.
Copy !req
567. This is great stuff.
Copy !req
568. - I'll take it and eat it.
- Yeah, go for it.
Copy !req
569. That was a total accident.
Copy !req
570. It happens to the best of us.
Copy !req
571. I'm sorry. That was...
Copy !req
572. No, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
573. You haven't touched your food.
Copy !req
574. There is no food.
Copy !req
575. Well, no. This is food.
Copy !req
576. So lots more food to come.
Copy !req
577. - Don't wanna fill up.
- That would not be possible.
Copy !req
578. I've precisely designed the portions
to account for that.
Copy !req
579. So, you won't fill up.
Copy !req
580. Please eat.
Copy !req
581. The menu only makes sense if you eat.
Copy !req
582. But you told us not to eat.
Copy !req
583. That is not what I meant, madam.
Copy !req
584. And you know it.
Copy !req
585. Well, thank you for your concern...
Copy !req
586. but I am perfectly capable of deciding
when I eat and what.
Copy !req
587. Thank you.
Copy !req
588. Christ, that was humiliating.
Copy !req
589. - "Humiliating?"
- Yeah.
Copy !req
590. Tyler, the guy is a prick.
Copy !req
591. Please don't.
Copy !req
592. You shouldn't be so fucking rude.
Copy !req
593. What?
Copy !req
594. He asked you to eat.
Copy !req
595. - I don't like it.
- Just try it.
Copy !req
596. Please.
Copy !req
597. Plating in three, my friends!
Copy !req
598. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
599. That's a 2013 Pinot Noir from Ross Cobb.
Copy !req
600. We hyper-decanted it
with an immersion blender...
Copy !req
601. to awaken it from its slumber.
Copy !req
602. Slavonian oak, rich cherry
and tobacco notes...
Copy !req
603. and a faint sense of longing and regret.
Copy !req
604. Yes. Enjoy.
Copy !req
605. Longing and regret.
Copy !req
606. My favorite.
Copy !req
607. She's staring again.
Copy !req
608. Where do we know her from?
Copy !req
609. We don't.
Copy !req
610. Well, she really does look like Claire.
Copy !req
611. Why do you keep saying that? She doesn't.
Copy !req
612. You don't think so?
Copy !req
613. She's nothing like our Claire.
Copy !req
614. That same faraway face.
Copy !req
615. Can we not obsess? Please?
Copy !req
616. I know. Hypothetically,
if you were leaving...
Copy !req
617. Right.
Copy !req
618. which you're not...
Copy !req
619. what would you be leaving for?
Copy !req
620. Associate Development Co-Exec.
Copy !req
621. And what the hell is that?
Copy !req
622. It's in development, so I'd be developing...
Copy !req
623. or helping to develop things...
Copy !req
624. Why would that be better than working for me?
Copy !req
625. - Well, because there's a future there.
- Right.
Copy !req
626. - It's a corporate...
- Right.
Copy !req
627. A different kind of future.
Does that make sense?
Copy !req
628. - At the corporate...
- Thank God it's all just hypothetical anyway.
Copy !req
629. The next course is called "Memory."
Copy !req
630. And that is what it's meant to evoke.
Copy !req
631. A memory.
Copy !req
632. So, let me tell you a memory of mine.
Copy !req
633. When I was growing up,
a child in Waterloo, Iowa...
Copy !req
634. Tuesday was taco night.
Copy !req
635. Yeah!
Copy !req
636. Taco Tuesday!
Copy !req
637. Yeah!
Copy !req
638. And this, here, this lady here.
Copy !req
639. This is my mother.
Copy !req
640. As you can see, she's rather drunk.
Copy !req
641. This is not unusual.
Copy !req
642. When I was seven years old...
Copy !req
643. one Tuesday, my father came home quite drunk.
Copy !req
644. Really drunk.
Copy !req
645. Also, not unusual.
Copy !req
646. My mother grew angry and screamed at him,
at which point...
Copy !req
647. he proceeded to wrap a telephone cord
around her neck and pull it tight.
Copy !req
648. I wept.
Copy !req
649. I screamed, I begged him to stop.
Copy !req
650. To make him stop...
Copy !req
651. I finally had to stab him in the thigh
with kitchen scissors.
Copy !req
652. You remember that, Mother, don't you?
Copy !req
653. Now, I suppose I should've stabbed him
in the throat that evening.
Copy !req
654. But we're not so smart when we're young.
Copy !req
655. It was, as you can imagine,
as a very memorable taco night.
Copy !req
656. - Oh, thank God he didn't.
- I mean, what the fuck was that?
Copy !req
657. Theatrical.
Copy !req
658. You liked that?
Copy !req
659. Yeah, it's a backstory to what makes him
a chef artist.
Copy !req
660. Dude, that guy's got
some really dark sense of humor, bro.
Copy !req
661. He's such an intense dude.
Copy !req
662. So, here you have...
Copy !req
663. house-smoked Bresse chicken thigh
al pastor...
Copy !req
664. and our own tortillas made
with heirloom masa...
Copy !req
665. one of Hawthorn's signature dishes.
Copy !req
666. Thank you.
Copy !req
667. We change our menu constantly...
Copy !req
668. but, as Ms. Bloom knows,
this has been a staple since day one.
Copy !req
669. It's what you once said...
Copy !req
670. Put you on the map.
Copy !req
671. Put me on the map.
Copy !req
672. Precisely what map would that be...
Copy !req
673. I wonder.
Copy !req
674. Anyways, because we're always innovating,
and we fear irrelevance...
Copy !req
675. an update to a classic.
Copy !req
676. The images on the tortillas have been made
using a laser-engraving machine.
Copy !req
677. It's the first time we've used it.
Copy !req
678. We hope this taco night evokes
strong memories for us all.
Copy !req
679. Enjoy.
Copy !req
680. Well, of course he had to do a taco.
Copy !req
681. Here you are.
Copy !req
682. What are they, Lil?
Copy !req
683. They're restaurants.
Copy !req
684. That I reviewed that all closed.
Copy !req
685. Like a gag, then?
Copy !req
686. I think so.
Copy !req
687. Richard, what are these?
Copy !req
688. Taco things. For the tacos.
Copy !req
689. No, the pictures.
Copy !req
690. They're all of us.
Copy !req
691. This one is after you had the melanoma
removed from your forehead.
Copy !req
692. There's the bandage.
Copy !req
693. Isn't that nice? They remembered us.
Copy !req
694. Tyler, is that you?
Copy !req
695. Yeah. They're all me from tonight
taking fucking photos.
Copy !req
696. Jesus Christ, what's with this guy?
Copy !req
697. I knew it. He hates me.
Copy !req
698. God damn it. I didn't think he'd really mind.
Copy !req
699. - Should I apologize?
- Apologize for what?
Copy !req
700. What?
Copy !req
701. Calling Doctor Sunshine.
Copy !req
702. Oh, my God. I forgot about that one.
Copy !req
703. Dumb part. Bad script.
Copy !req
704. Fun shoot, though.
Copy !req
705. Maybe it's a joke
'cause you're friends, right?
Copy !req
706. Yeah, yeah, you know, friends.
Copy !req
707. I mean, you know, do I have any friends?
Copy !req
708. Wait.
Copy !req
709. Hey, guys, what the fuck?
Copy !req
710. Are these...
Copy !req
711. How did they get these?
Copy !req
712. It's not good.
Copy !req
713. Excuse me.
Copy !req
714. Can I help you, sir?
Copy !req
715. Yeah.
Copy !req
716. What the hell are these?
Copy !req
717. These are tortillas.
Copy !req
718. Yes, and what are these?
Copy !req
719. These are tortillas...
Copy !req
720. which contain EchoBrite's tax records
and other documents...
Copy !req
721. showing how your company
has created invoices with fake charges.
Copy !req
722. How did you get these?
Copy !req
723. I'm sorry, but Chef never reveals
his recipes.
Copy !req
724. Do you know how fucked you are?
Copy !req
725. We'll have this place closed by the morning.
Do you understand?
Copy !req
726. No, that won't be necessary.
Copy !req
727. Enjoy.
Copy !req
728. And this is you and...
Copy !req
729. Who is that woman?
Copy !req
730. Well, how the hell should I know? It's faked.
Copy !req
731. It's some sort of stupid joke.
Copy !req
732. It's a fucking taco, okay? It can't hurt you.
Copy !req
733. Yeah, a fucking taco
that might hold up in court.
Copy !req
734. We have plausible deniability,
Copy !req
735. and if they try to turn us in...
Copy !req
736. Right!
Copy !req
737. If they turn us in,
they'd be turning Verrick in.
Copy !req
738. And then they'd be just as fucked as we are.
Copy !req
739. Right? So, we're fine.
Copy !req
740. Right?
Copy !req
741. - Yeah, we're good.
- We're fine. Yeah, fuck it.
Copy !req
742. They can't take your photograph
without your consent. This is insane.
Copy !req
743. Stop talking and let me think, okay?
Copy !req
744. I have to make this right somehow.
I have to.
Copy !req
745. Well, I'll tell you how you make it right.
You send this shit back.
Copy !req
746. Excuse me.
Copy !req
747. - Excuse me! Sir, hi.
- Hey. Margot! Margot!
Copy !req
748. Did you just fucking snap at me?
Copy !req
749. Do you know how long I've been trying
to get a reservation here?
Copy !req
750. No, and I don't really care.
Copy !req
751. You do not send shit back to this kitchen,
you child.
Copy !req
752. You thank them for even letting you
in the door.
Copy !req
753. - What did you just call me?
- I called you a child...
Copy !req
754. because you're fucking acting like it.
Copy !req
755. Tyler, you need to apologize to me right now.
Copy !req
756. You cannot speak to me that way.
Copy !req
757. Actually, I can because,
ding dong, I'm the one who's paying.
Copy !req
758. So maybe, shut up and eat.
Copy !req
759. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
760. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
761. This is incredible. You have to try this.
Copy !req
762. No, thanks. Don't let me interrupt.
Copy !req
763. Miss Mills?
Copy !req
764. How can I assist you?
Copy !req
765. Just looking for the ladies' room.
Copy !req
766. Right this way.
Copy !req
767. Thank you.
Copy !req
768. What's behind that silver door?
Copy !req
769. Something very special.
Copy !req
770. No, you can't...
Copy !req
771. You shouldn't be in here.
Copy !req
772. I'd like to know specifically what it was...
Copy !req
773. about the last course that you did not enjoy.
Copy !req
774. You've barely eaten the food.
Copy !req
775. Why?
Copy !req
776. I need to know.
Why don't you eat?
Copy !req
777. Why do you care?
Copy !req
778. I take my work very seriously,
and you're not eating.
Copy !req
779. And that wounds me.
Copy !req
780. I guess I'm just not very hungry.
Copy !req
781. I've told you who I am.
Copy !req
782. I'm Julian Slowik, and I am the chef here.
Copy !req
783. Now, who are you?
Copy !req
784. I'll ask again. Who are you?
Copy !req
785. I'm Margot Mills.
Copy !req
786. So, where are you from, Margot?
Copy !req
787. I'm from Grand Island, Nebraska.
Copy !req
788. Now, does that make you feel better?
Copy !req
789. You want the address for Mom's trailer park,
you asshole?
Copy !req
790. No, it's not who you want me
to think you are.
Copy !req
791. Who are you?
Copy !req
792. I am Margot.
Copy !req
793. You shouldn't be here tonight.
Copy !req
794. Please get the fuck out of my way.
Copy !req
795. Still very theatrical, but minimalist...
Copy !req
796. like the Japanese, the minimirasuto style.
Copy !req
797. - But he was being playful, right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
798. I mean, let's talk about the tacos.
Copy !req
799. It's a dialogue.
Copy !req
800. It's playful.
Copy !req
801. I'm excited.
Copy !req
802. We're ready for our next course...
Copy !req
803. - which I think you'll find...
- Excuse me.
Copy !req
804. But what the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
805. Would you just let me finish, please?
That okay?
Copy !req
806. Thank you.
Copy !req
807. Ladies and gentlemen,
please meet sous-chef Jeremy Louden.
Copy !req
808. Jeremy created the next dish.
Copy !req
809. It's called "The Mess."
Copy !req
810. Originally from Sparks, Nevada...
Copy !req
811. Jeremy studied at the Culinary Institute
in Hyde Park.
Copy !req
812. Jeremy's goal, as he wrote
in a heartfelt letter...
Copy !req
813. was to work for me here at Hawthorn.
Copy !req
814. Isn't that right, Jeremy?
Copy !req
815. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
816. Jeremy is talented.
Copy !req
817. He's good.
Copy !req
818. He's very good.
Copy !req
819. But he's not great.
Copy !req
820. He'll never be great.
Copy !req
821. He desperately wants my prestige,
my job, my talent.
Copy !req
822. He aspires to greatness,
but he'll never achieve it.
Copy !req
823. Correct, Jeremy?
Copy !req
824. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
825. Like me at his age...
Copy !req
826. Jeremy has forsaken everything
to achieve his goals.
Copy !req
827. Like mine, his life is pressure.
Copy !req
828. Pressure to put out
the best food in the world.
Copy !req
829. And even when all goes right,
and the food is perfect...
Copy !req
830. and the customers are happy,
and the critics are, too,
Copy !req
831. there is no way to avoid the mess.
Copy !req
832. The mess you make of your life...
Copy !req
833. of your body...
Copy !req
834. of your sanity...
Copy !req
835. by giving everything you have
to pleasing people you will never know.
Copy !req
836. Jeremy...
Copy !req
837. do you like this life?
This life that you dreamed about?
Copy !req
838. No, Chef.
Copy !req
839. And do you want my life?
Copy !req
840. Not my position, nor my talent.
Copy !req
841. My life.
Copy !req
842. No, Chef.
Copy !req
843. Ladies and gentlemen, your fourth course...
Copy !req
844. sous-chef Jeremy's The Mess.
Copy !req
845. Fuck!
Copy !req
846. Oh, God!
Copy !req
847. What are you doing?
Copy !req
848. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
849. The fuck is that?
Copy !req
850. That was a shock. I didn't see that comin'.
Copy !req
851. What the fuck, man?
Copy !req
852. Please. Sit. Sit.
Copy !req
853. - Everything's fine.
- Please, it's all fine.
Copy !req
854. - What happened?
- It's just part of the menu.
Copy !req
855. It's part of the show.
Copy !req
856. - It's a show?
- That's a show? That's not...
Copy !req
857. This is what you're paying for.
Copy !req
858. That's a stunt? What was that?
Copy !req
859. This is an exclusive experience.
Copy !req
860. - Please just return to your seats.
- What the fuck, man?
Copy !req
861. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
862. Is he dead?
Copy !req
863. - It's definitely a squib or a packed...
- Stay right there.
Copy !req
864. - Can I invite you to sit down, please?
- I've seen them use it before.
Copy !req
865. It's not funny.
Copy !req
866. What the fuck?
Copy !req
867. - Is this real?
- What is happening?
Copy !req
868. - It looks so damn real.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
869. - This is just theater, right?
- What the fuck are you talking about, lady?
Copy !req
870. He just fucking shot himself, okay?
Copy !req
871. It looked very real, Lillian. Quite real.
Copy !req
872. This is just theater. It's stagecraft.
Copy !req
873. - Is it really?
- Yeah. This is what he does.
Copy !req
874. It's part of the menu.
Copy !req
875. Eat!
Copy !req
876. Enjoy.
Copy !req
877. Fifth course on order.
Copy !req
878. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
879. Tyler, what the hell is going on?
Copy !req
880. And here we have
a biodynamic Cabernet Franc...
Copy !req
881. from our friends at Domaine Breton.
Copy !req
882. It has no added sulfites...
Copy !req
883. a bit of barnyard funk...
Copy !req
884. and just a wonderful match
with roasted proteins. Enjoy.
Copy !req
885. We're leaving. Now.
Copy !req
886. But I have to get my wrap.
Copy !req
887. - Forget your wrap. Get up.
- But I...
Copy !req
888. Mr. Leibrandt?
Copy !req
889. - We're leaving.
- Is something wrong?
Copy !req
890. We're leaving.
Copy !req
891. There is no boat to leave on.
Copy !req
892. Then I'll call a helicopter.
Copy !req
893. That would be very difficult
without phone service.
Copy !req
894. Fucking move.
Copy !req
895. Jesus. Just do what they say, for God's sake!
Copy !req
896. I'll handle this.
Copy !req
897. - Just let me handle this.
- With which hand, Mr. Leibrandt?
Copy !req
898. What?
Copy !req
899. With which hand will you handle this?
Left or right?
Copy !req
900. What the fuck are you saying?
Copy !req
901. Shall we choose?
Copy !req
902. Choose what?
Copy !req
903. Very well. Left hand.
Copy !req
904. Ring finger.
Copy !req
905. Let me out! Let me out!
Copy !req
906. No!
Copy !req
907. - Come on. Leave the guy alone.
- What the fuck are you doing?
Copy !req
908. - Come on. Easy. Easy! Leave him alone!
- Leave the old guy alone!
Copy !req
909. Mr. Leibrandt, please hold still.
Copy !req
910. What the fuck are you doing?
Copy !req
911. Richard!
Copy !req
912. Richard!
Copy !req
913. Please stay seated.
Copy !req
914. Please stay seated.
Copy !req
915. What the...
Copy !req
916. What the hell's goin' on?
Get a doctor for him.
Copy !req
917. Do you need assistance finding your seat?
Copy !req
918. There's a finger. The finger.
There's a finger right there.
Copy !req
919. The man is screamin' in pain!
Copy !req
920. Please, sit.
Copy !req
921. Sir?
Copy !req
922. It's not funny, lady! Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
923. It's all part of the menu.
Copy !req
924. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
925. This is real, isn't it? I can't do it.
Copy !req
926. - I can't do a hostage thing. I can't.
- Then why don't you go talk to him?
Copy !req
927. Go talk to him! Because you know him, right?
Copy !req
928. I made that up.
Copy !req
929. Why?
Copy !req
930. Because I'm a name-dropping whore.
That's why, okay?
Copy !req
931. Your husband's ring, madam.
Copy !req
932. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
933. Ted. Ted!
Copy !req
934. I honestly think that this whole thing
is just for our benefit.
Copy !req
935. I mean, us.
Copy !req
936. That's why he texted me.
Copy !req
937. And this is incredible. Right?
Copy !req
938. The acting is astonishing.
Copy !req
939. What the fuck are you talkin' about?
Copy !req
940. Chef Slowik would like to see you
in the kitchen.
Copy !req
941. - Can I come, too?
- No.
Copy !req
942. No, no, I'm sorry, but you're all wrong.
Copy !req
943. Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
944. You're just simply wrong.
Copy !req
945. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
946. Who are you?
Copy !req
947. Margot.
Copy !req
948. My name is Margot.
Copy !req
949. I've served many Margots.
You're not a Margot.
Copy !req
950. No.
Copy !req
951. What the fuck does it matter?
Copy !req
952. It matters because this menu,
this guest list...
Copy !req
953. this entire evening
has been painstakingly planned.
Copy !req
954. And you were not a part of that plan.
Copy !req
955. And it's spoiling everything.
Copy !req
956. In order to proceed,
I have to know where to seat you.
Copy !req
957. With us, or with them?
Copy !req
958. It's very important.
Copy !req
959. And then you'll let me live?
Copy !req
960. Let you live? No!
Copy !req
961. Of course not.
Copy !req
962. Can't you see that
that would ruin the menu?
Copy !req
963. We're all gonna die tonight.
Copy !req
964. Isn't that right?
Copy !req
965. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
966. So, the question is,
Copy !req
967. do you wanna die with those who give,
or with those who take?
Copy !req
968. But I die either way?
Copy !req
969. It's arbitrary.
Copy !req
970. No, it's not arbitrary.
Nothing in this kitchen is arbitrary.
Copy !req
971. Please pick.
Copy !req
972. These decisions are important...
Copy !req
973. and our menu is strictly timed.
Copy !req
974. In 15 minutes,
I'll take a break between courses,
Copy !req
975. and that is how long you have to decide.
Copy !req
976. It's our side or theirs.
Copy !req
977. In the meantime, please return to your seat.
Copy !req
978. The next dish is exquisite.
Copy !req
979. Plating in five!
Copy !req
980. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
981. I love you all.
Copy !req
982. We love you, too, Chef!
Copy !req
983. Fuck! He offer you a kitchen course?
Copy !req
984. All right, what was it? Protein or veg?
Copy !req
985. Protein or veg?
Copy !req
986. God damn it. It's not fucking fair.
Copy !req
987. Why do you get a kitchen course?
Copy !req
988. You smoke all day.
Can't even fucking taste it.
Copy !req
989. We're cornered. Let's focus.
Copy !req
990. Wait, what's the play here?
Copy !req
991. What are our options?
Copy !req
992. The door is guarded...
Copy !req
993. but it could be a play.
Copy !req
994. Yeah.
Copy !req
995. Has anybody seen down the hallway
if we can...
Copy !req
996. Hey, guys. We gotta do something,
Copy !req
997. and we can't be cowards.
Copy !req
998. This worked in a movie I did
called The Assault.
Copy !req
999. When they bring their knives and forks,
we just storm their kitchen, okay?
Copy !req
1000. You think we have better knife skills
than them?
Copy !req
1001. What other choice do we have?
Copy !req
1002. - I don't fuckin' know, man.
- So what, then? We...
Copy !req
1003. Fuck it. I'm gonna break this fucking window.
Copy !req
1004. Yeah! Go for it! Go for it!
Copy !req
1005. Fuck!
Copy !req
1006. Please let me help you back to your table.
Copy !req
1007. Fuck.
Copy !req
1008. I'm sorry, man.
Copy !req
1009. - God.
- Fuck.
Copy !req
1010. There's a saying.
Copy !req
1011. "Sometimes all you need
is a good cup of tea."
Copy !req
1012. I learned that growing up in Bratislava.
Copy !req
1013. I've found that not only does tea
cleanse the palate...
Copy !req
1014. but it offers a soothing balm
when facing some hard home truths.
Copy !req
1015. But before we continue...
Copy !req
1016. are there any questions about me or Hawthorn?
Copy !req
1017. Any questions?
Copy !req
1018. Is this bergamot I'm getting, Chef?
Copy !req
1019. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
1020. - Chef?
- Yes?
Copy !req
1021. I think I speak for everybody here
when I say that...
Copy !req
1022. I wanna know...
I mean, we wanna know...
Copy !req
1023. Why the fuck is this happening, man?
Copy !req
1024. Well, I'll tell you.
Copy !req
1025. Think of yourselves as ingredients
in a degustation concept.
Copy !req
1026. - What?
- A tasting concept.
Copy !req
1027. Figuratively speaking.
Copy !req
1028. I think that is the best way to describe it.
Copy !req
1029. But none of this should be a surprise
to most of you.
Copy !req
1030. Ms. Bloom.
Copy !req
1031. Lillian, if I may,
my cherished early advocate...
Copy !req
1032. knows the damage she has done
to so many livelihoods.
Copy !req
1033. No, no, no. Hang on, Chef.
Copy !req
1034. No, no, no. No, you don't talk.
Copy !req
1035. I'm sorry, Chef.
Copy !req
1036. You submitted to an interview...
Copy !req
1037. - with Lillian Bloom.
- What? What?
Copy !req
1038. - And that interview created this restaurant.
- You enable her filth.
Copy !req
1039. You enable her filth.
Copy !req
1040. You buttress.
Copy !req
1041. You coddle.
Copy !req
1042. More broken emulsion, madam.
Copy !req
1043. You loved that I texted you an invitation
for this evening.
Copy !req
1044. Me yearning for your attendance.
Copy !req
1045. Your ego was fed.
Copy !req
1046. But that is to be expected.
And no, you've fed my ego as well.
Copy !req
1047. Ten minutes, Ms. Mills.
Copy !req
1048. Please. My husband needs
to go to the hospital.
Copy !req
1049. I'm fine. Just let my wife go.
Copy !req
1050. My loyal regulars.
Copy !req
1051. How many times have you eaten here
in the last five years?
Copy !req
1052. I don't know. Six or seven?
Copy !req
1053. I think it's more than that, Dick.
Copy !req
1054. Eleven. Eleven times.
Copy !req
1055. Most people consider themselves blessed
if they eat here only once.
Copy !req
1056. Mr. Leibrandt, kindly name one dish you ate
the last time you were here.
Copy !req
1057. Eleven times you take the boat out here...
Copy !req
1058. where we introduce every dish
every single time.
Copy !req
1059. We tell you exactly what we're feeding you.
Copy !req
1060. Please tell me one dish you ate
the last time you were here.
Copy !req
1061. Or the time before.
Copy !req
1062. One. Please.
Copy !req
1063. Cod.
Copy !req
1064. What?
Copy !req
1065. Cod.
Copy !req
1066. Cod.
Copy !req
1067. It wasn't cod, you donkey.
Copy !req
1068. It was halibut.
Copy !req
1069. Rare, fucking spotted halibut.
Copy !req
1070. What does it matter?
Copy !req
1071. It matters to the halibut, Mrs. Leibrandt.
Copy !req
1072. And to the artist whose work turns to shit
inside your gut.
Copy !req
1073. I've allowed my work
to reach the price point...
Copy !req
1074. where only the class of people in this room
can access it.
Copy !req
1075. And I've been fooled into trying to satisfy
people who could never be satisfied.
Copy !req
1076. Starting with her.
Copy !req
1077. But that's our culture, isn't it?
Copy !req
1078. And my restaurant is part of the problem.
Copy !req
1079. You say it's your restaurant.
Copy !req
1080. But if we're all just bein' honest tonight...
Copy !req
1081. it's not.
Copy !req
1082. You're right.
Doug Verrick is my angel investor.
Copy !req
1083. He owns this island and this restaurant.
Copy !req
1084. And since Hawthorn is my entire life...
Copy !req
1085. I would have to say
that Doug Verrick owns me.
Copy !req
1086. Except now things are
a little more complicated,
Copy !req
1087. and I own Doug Verrick.
Copy !req
1088. - Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1089. Holy shit.
Copy !req
1090. Hey, hey. How do we stop this, man?
Copy !req
1091. - No.
- Okay? Just please just make it stop.
Copy !req
1092. Just fuckin' tell us how to stop this.
We'll stop it, okay?
Copy !req
1093. - You can't stop it.
- Obviously, we have money.
Copy !req
1094. Just say how much, and we'll give it to you!
Copy !req
1095. Just say a fucking number, man!
Copy !req
1096. No.
Copy !req
1097. I don't need your money.
Copy !req
1098. He kept you open through COVID, you prick!
Copy !req
1099. Yes, he did.
Copy !req
1100. And he questioned my menu.
Copy !req
1101. He would even request substitutions...
Copy !req
1102. despite the fact that there are
no substitutions at Hawthorn!
Copy !req
1103. Fallen angel, please.
Copy !req
1104. No!
Copy !req
1105. No, no!
Copy !req
1106. What the hell?
Copy !req
1107. - No.
- Listen.
Copy !req
1108. - This is fucking...
- I said, "Listen."
Copy !req
1109. No! Julian!
Copy !req
1110. - This is fuckin' insane.
- I said, "Listen."
Copy !req
1111. No...
Copy !req
1112. Listen.
Copy !req
1113. - No, no. This is fuckin' insane.
- No, I said, "Listen!" Just listen!
Copy !req
1114. Yeah.
Copy !req
1115. Do you hear?
Copy !req
1116. And...
Copy !req
1117. And...
Copy !req
1118. under he goes, and...
Copy !req
1119. quiet.
Copy !req
1120. Do you hear it?
Copy !req
1121. Do you hear that silence?
Listen, can you hear it?
Copy !req
1122. That silence means...
Copy !req
1123. I'm free.
Copy !req
1124. Time's up, Ms. Mills.
Copy !req
1125. Chef will speak with you now in his office.
Copy !req
1126. Come in.
Copy !req
1127. You've made your decision?
Copy !req
1128. I have.
Copy !req
1129. And what have you decided?
Copy !req
1130. That you were right.
Copy !req
1131. I shouldn't be here.
Copy !req
1132. And I say this with respect, because I'm sure
that you're quite brilliant...
Copy !req
1133. but all of this...
Copy !req
1134. is not meant for me.
Copy !req
1135. You're not sure I'm brilliant,
so don't say it.
Copy !req
1136. It's false.
Copy !req
1137. Fine.
Copy !req
1138. I'm not sure that you're brilliant.
Copy !req
1139. I was expecting more.
Copy !req
1140. Fuck you!
Copy !req
1141. I guess I'm gonna have to make your decision
for you.
Copy !req
1142. You belong here with your own breed.
Copy !req
1143. And what breed is that?
Copy !req
1144. With the shit shovelers.
Copy !req
1145. You thought I couldn't tell?
Copy !req
1146. I know a fellow service industry worker
when I see one.
Copy !req
1147. Mr. Leibrandt. How do you know him?
Copy !req
1148. You've been eyeing him all evening.
Copy !req
1149. Well, I think you know.
Copy !req
1150. No, I don't.
Copy !req
1151. So, he paid for an experience.
Copy !req
1152. And I can tell, as one provider
of experiences to another...
Copy !req
1153. that you don't rattle easily.
Copy !req
1154. So, how did he rattle you?
Copy !req
1155. - He didn't rattle...
- Margot.
Copy !req
1156. He told me to agree with everything he said
and continue eye contact while he jerked off.
Copy !req
1157. Wow. Specific.
Copy !req
1158. Not really.
Copy !req
1159. Pretty unoriginal.
Copy !req
1160. What rattled me...
Copy !req
1161. is that he told me to tell him
that he was a good man,
Copy !req
1162. and that I was his daughter,
Copy !req
1163. and that he loved me,
and I loved him and...
Copy !req
1164. And so, he's a romantic.
Copy !req
1165. No, I don't need details.
Copy !req
1166. You know, I know what a bad customer is.
Copy !req
1167. Yeah.
Copy !req
1168. Do you enjoy providing your services?
Copy !req
1169. Yes.
Copy !req
1170. Or I used to.
Copy !req
1171. Do you enjoy providing yours?
Copy !req
1172. I used to...
Copy !req
1173. but I haven't desired to cook for someone
in ages.
Copy !req
1174. And one does miss that feeling.
Copy !req
1175. Come with me.
Copy !req
1176. Everyone's so down!
Copy !req
1177. Ladies and gentlemen, for our next course...
Copy !req
1178. let us take the evening air!
Copy !req
1179. Come on! Outside!
Copy !req
1180. - Please, sir.
- Come on. Outside, everyone.
Copy !req
1181. If we can find a boat,
we can make a break for it.
Copy !req
1182. Regulars, too. Come on.
Copy !req
1183. Please follow Chef.
Copy !req
1184. Chef, I'd love to talk to you
very quickly, Chef.
Copy !req
1185. - Come on!
- After you, please.
Copy !req
1186. Guests first.
Copy !req
1187. Richard.
Copy !req
1188. Follow me.
Copy !req
1189. Into the tranquil night air.
Copy !req
1190. Don't be frightened.
Copy !req
1191. Nothing to be frightened of.
Copy !req
1192. So, maybe there's a spare boat somewhere
and we can get out of here.
Copy !req
1193. To what?
Copy !req
1194. - What?
- Get out of here to what?
Copy !req
1195. What the fuck are you talking about, bro?
Copy !req
1196. - We're dead.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
1197. - No. We're gonna die tonight. Yeah.
- Yes, we are. Yeah.
Copy !req
1198. Our next course will be presented
by sous-chef, Katherine Keller.
Copy !req
1199. Good evening, everyone.
Copy !req
1200. Three years ago,
Julian Slowik tried to fuck me.
Copy !req
1201. I refused his advances.
Copy !req
1202. A week later, he tried again.
Copy !req
1203. And again, I refused.
Copy !req
1204. But he didn't fire me.
Copy !req
1205. No.
Copy !req
1206. He kept me in his kitchen,
and refused to look me in the eye...
Copy !req
1207. or speak directly to me for eight months.
Copy !req
1208. He can do that.
Copy !req
1209. Because he's the star.
Copy !req
1210. He's the man.
Copy !req
1211. Our next course is called "Man's Folly."
Copy !req
1212. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1213. Fuck.
Copy !req
1214. To our male diners...
Copy !req
1215. we now offer you the chance to escape.
Copy !req
1216. You'll be given a 45-second head start...
Copy !req
1217. at which point members of my staff
will try and catch you.
Copy !req
1218. If they do catch...
Copy !req
1219. Okay.
Copy !req
1220. Forty-five seconds starts now.
Copy !req
1221. - Hold this.
- What?
Copy !req
1222. I'm sorry. Come on. You know I'm awful.
Copy !req
1223. You're a wonderful critic.
Copy !req
1224. I'll send for help. First thing.
Copy !req
1225. You, too.
Copy !req
1226. I'll leave you to it.
Copy !req
1227. Care to join me inside?
Copy !req
1228. It's getting chilly.
Copy !req
1229. It's right this way.
Copy !req
1230. Okay.
Copy !req
1231. This way.
Copy !req
1232. Go!
Copy !req
1233. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1234. This is fantastic.
Copy !req
1235. The tartness of the umeboshi...
Copy !req
1236. and the waves of ferment.
Copy !req
1237. It's rich, and yet it's clean.
Copy !req
1238. It's delicious.
Copy !req
1239. Yes, well...
Copy !req
1240. there was a time that would have meant
a lot to me, Ms. Bloom.
Copy !req
1241. It's so good.
Copy !req
1242. Yes, it's really good.
Copy !req
1243. You know, it's the emoji for me.
Copy !req
1244. Umeboshi.
Copy !req
1245. - Umeboshi.
- Umeboshi.
Copy !req
1246. This is so good.
Copy !req
1247. - You're very talented.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1248. Usually don't like foam, but...
Copy !req
1249. Don't fucking run next to me, bro!
Copy !req
1250. No, you're running next to me!
Copy !req
1251. It's a big fuckin' forest! Fuck off!
Copy !req
1252. - Get away from me!
- Fuck off, bro!
Copy !req
1253. Fuck.
Copy !req
1254. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1255. Yeah.
Copy !req
1256. You know my husband.
Copy !req
1257. Yeah.
Copy !req
1258. I do.
Copy !req
1259. Right.
Copy !req
1260. You can tell us.
Copy !req
1261. Are we all really dying tonight?
Copy !req
1262. It doesn't work if you live.
Copy !req
1263. - What doesn't work?
- The menu.
Copy !req
1264. Why not?
Copy !req
1265. It needs an ending...
Copy !req
1266. That ties everything together conceptually.
Copy !req
1267. Otherwise, it just tastes good,
and who cares.
Copy !req
1268. I mean, really, you should have
your own place.
Copy !req
1269. Right? And I could help you with that.
Copy !req
1270. - I'm sure you could, Ms. Bloom.
- I could. I could.
Copy !req
1271. We would just have to talk about...
Copy !req
1272. the dying thing.
Copy !req
1273. Everyone dying was my pitch, actually.
Copy !req
1274. I'm super proud of it.
Copy !req
1275. - Anybody want any wine? Fuck it.
- Yes, please.
Copy !req
1276. Thank you.
Copy !req
1277. I heard a pop.
Copy !req
1278. Fuck!
Copy !req
1279. Fuck!
Copy !req
1280. A special bite for the last guest
to be caught.
Copy !req
1281. A little play on the Passard egg
with crème fraîche and maple.
Copy !req
1282. - Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1283. Not that you guys give a single,
flying fuck...
Copy !req
1284. but my name is not Margot.
Copy !req
1285. It's Erin.
Copy !req
1286. And I'm from Brockton, Massachusetts...
Copy !req
1287. So there's that.
Copy !req
1288. Party's over.
Copy !req
1289. Come, gentlemen.
Copy !req
1290. - Welcome back.
- What did you get?
Copy !req
1291. Sir? Please.
Copy !req
1292. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'll take that.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1293. Ms. Bloom. Please.
Copy !req
1294. Allow me. No, it's fine. It's fine.
Copy !req
1295. Here.
Copy !req
1296. Oh, God.
Copy !req
1297. How'd you do out there?
Copy !req
1298. I did great. I killed it.
Copy !req
1299. I'm the only one who got away.
Copy !req
1300. I'm sorry. I'm a fuckin' failure.
Copy !req
1301. It's okay.
Copy !req
1302. I've been stealing money from you.
Copy !req
1303. I know.
Copy !req
1304. I know you know.
Copy !req
1305. I wrote a negative recommendation to Sony.
Copy !req
1306. I know. You cc'd me on it.
Copy !req
1307. Folks...
Copy !req
1308. I'm afraid our menu cannot continue
as planned...
Copy !req
1309. until we deal with an unresolved matter.
Copy !req
1310. You.
Copy !req
1311. Me?
Copy !req
1312. You.
Copy !req
1313. Tell me why you're here.
Copy !req
1314. - You know, because I wanted to...
- Swallow first.
Copy !req
1315. I wanted to experience your food, Chef.
Copy !req
1316. And what were you told?
Copy !req
1317. What were you told ahead of time?
Copy !req
1318. You told me it'd be the greatest menu
ever created.
Copy !req
1319. Right. And? And?
Copy !req
1320. And that everyone would die.
Copy !req
1321. "Everyone would die."
Copy !req
1322. You had a date.
Copy !req
1323. I seem to remember you had a date.
Copy !req
1324. Not the young woman here tonight...
Copy !req
1325. so what happened to her? Your date?
Copy !req
1326. She broke up with me, Chef.
Copy !req
1327. So, you brought Margot.
Copy !req
1328. Why?
Copy !req
1329. 'Cause you don't offer seatings for one.
Copy !req
1330. So, you hired her knowing she'd die.
Copy !req
1331. - Yes.
- You entitled piece of shit!
Copy !req
1332. I'm gonna kill you, Tyler!
Copy !req
1333. Calm down.
Copy !req
1334. You can't blame her, can you?
Copy !req
1335. For the eight months
I've corresponded with you...
Copy !req
1336. I gave you, Tyler, access to our world.
Copy !req
1337. And I swore you to secrecy.
Copy !req
1338. Why do you think I'd do this?
Copy !req
1339. - You wanted me here because...
- Why? Why?
Copy !req
1340. you said I know a lot about food.
Copy !req
1341. That's right. You're not like the others,
are you?
Copy !req
1342. - I mean, you know what a Pacojet is.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1343. - You knew what the bergamot was.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1344. - I could taste it.
- Yeah, you could.
Copy !req
1345. Yeah, I know, but you identified it.
Copy !req
1346. - Picked it out.
- Right.
Copy !req
1347. That impressed me.
Copy !req
1348. - Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
1349. I mean, you're a cook.
Copy !req
1350. Cooks belong in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1351. Right?
Copy !req
1352. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
1353. Yeah.
Copy !req
1354. - Come with me.
- Really?
Copy !req
1355. Me? Really?
Copy !req
1356. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have something for you.
Copy !req
1357. Okay.
Copy !req
1358. Come here. Elsa has it.
Copy !req
1359. It's a chef's jacket.
Copy !req
1360. Courtesy of Hawthorn.
Copy !req
1361. Wow.
Copy !req
1362. - Nice.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1363. You look wonderful.
Doesn't he look wonderful, Margot?
Copy !req
1364. - Doesn't he look good?
- Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
1365. Mr. Handsome Boy.
Copy !req
1366. I'm gonna personalize the jacket.
Copy !req
1367. "T, Y...
Copy !req
1368. "L, E...
Copy !req
1369. "R."
Copy !req
1370. Thank you.
Copy !req
1371. Thank you.
Copy !req
1372. - I'm proud of you.
- Thank you, Chef.
Copy !req
1373. Tyler, now cook.
Copy !req
1374. What?
Copy !req
1375. Cook.
Copy !req
1376. - You're a cook. So, cook.
- I don't know if I can cook here.
Copy !req
1377. - Cook. Cook.
- Now? I don't...
Copy !req
1378. Cook! Go on, now.
Copy !req
1379. What do you need? We have everything.
Copy !req
1380. - Please rise to observe the demonstration.
- Don't be frightened.
Copy !req
1381. What do you want...
Copy !req
1382. - Please rise to observe the demonstration.
- Everyone, please come around.
Copy !req
1383. Please. Tyler's gonna demonstrate
his culinary expertise.
Copy !req
1384. - Please rise to observe the demonstration.
- Everyone, please.
Copy !req
1385. Come around. Come closer.
Copy !req
1386. What do you need?
Copy !req
1387. - Leeks.
- Get the cook some leeks. Leeks.
Copy !req
1388. This is your station here. What else?
Copy !req
1389. Sh...
Copy !req
1390. - Shit? Would you like some shit?
- No.
Copy !req
1391. - Shallots.
- Shallots for the great foodie!
Copy !req
1392. - The phenomenal Mr. Food himself!
- Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1393. Everyone gather around.
We must learn from Tyler.
Copy !req
1394. This is a new dicing method
of which we have been woefully ignorant.
Copy !req
1395. What next?
Copy !req
1396. Butter.
Copy !req
1397. Butter? Butter.
Leeks and shallots sautéed in butter.
Copy !req
1398. I bear witness to a revolution in cuisine.
Copy !req
1399. Would you like a protein?
Copy !req
1400. - Lamb.
- Lamb!
Copy !req
1401. Oh, yeah. I think it's done, Chef.
Copy !req
1402. - You think it's done? You're sure?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
1403. Maybe you wanna jam it
into the Pacojet.
Copy !req
1404. No.
Copy !req
1405. Wow.
Copy !req
1406. Wow.
Copy !req
1407. It's actually quite...
Copy !req
1408. bad.
Copy !req
1409. You are why the mystery has been drained
from our art.
Copy !req
1410. You see that now, don't you?
Copy !req
1411. Sorry, Chef.
Copy !req
1412. Come here, son. Come.
Copy !req
1413. Come here.
Copy !req
1414. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
1415. And now you're free, too.
Copy !req
1416. Ladies and gentlemen,
I wanna apologize to you all.
Copy !req
1417. What you just saw was not originally
part of tonight's menu.
Copy !req
1418. We strive for perfection...
Copy !req
1419. which of course does not exist,
and that is a hard truth for me to accept...
Copy !req
1420. so please forgive me.
Copy !req
1421. Come with me.
Copy !req
1422. And that concludes our demonstration.
Copy !req
1423. Please return to your seats.
Copy !req
1424. Listen to me.
Copy !req
1425. There's only one more savory course
left in our menu.
Copy !req
1426. That means we must prepare for dessert.
Copy !req
1427. Dessert requires a large barrel
that is supposed to be there in the corner.
Copy !req
1428. Do you see a barrel?
Copy !req
1429. - No. No, I do not.
- Neither do I.
Copy !req
1430. That is because my negligent colleague, Elsa,
forgot to assign someone to bring it.
Copy !req
1431. So, Margot, you will fetch the barrel instead.
Copy !req
1432. - Me?
- Yes. You remember the smokehouse?
Copy !req
1433. Maybe... I don't...
Copy !req
1434. - Chef, perhaps one of us should...
- Margot is now one of us, Elsa.
Copy !req
1435. Right, Margot?
Copy !req
1436. - Yes.
- Yes, what?
Copy !req
1437. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
1438. Elsa, give her the smokehouse key.
Copy !req
1439. Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
1440. Go.
Copy !req
1441. Go!
Copy !req
1442. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1443. I'm sorry, Chef.
Copy !req
1444. Sir Slowik.
Copy !req
1445. Hi.
Copy !req
1446. What's up?
Copy !req
1447. Well, look...
Copy !req
1448. What I really...
Copy !req
1449. I just wanted to say because...
Copy !req
1450. Look, I'm not trying to sound,
like, all whatever here or anything...
Copy !req
1451. but I just don't think it's really fair.
Copy !req
1452. Maybe.
Copy !req
1453. If...
Copy !req
1454. Do you wanna know why you're being punished?
Copy !req
1455. Sure.
Copy !req
1456. I saw the film Calling Doctor Sunshine,
and I did not enjoy it.
Copy !req
1457. Wait, sorry?
Copy !req
1458. It was a Sunday.
Copy !req
1459. My one day off in months.
Copy !req
1460. The most precious day.
The day where I was allowed to live.
Copy !req
1461. And I saw the film
Calling Doctor Sunshine alone in the cinema.
Copy !req
1462. But look, I didn't direct it.
I just acted in it.
Copy !req
1463. The memory of your face in that film...
Copy !req
1464. and seeing you again now haunts me.
Copy !req
1465. Drives me.
Copy !req
1466. What happens to an artist
when he loses his purpose?
Copy !req
1467. It's pitiful.
Copy !req
1468. No, you're right.
Copy !req
1469. And what about her?
Copy !req
1470. What school did you go to?
Copy !req
1471. Brown.
Copy !req
1472. Student loans?
Copy !req
1473. No.
Copy !req
1474. I'm sorry. You're dying.
Copy !req
1475. Motherfucker.
Copy !req
1476. Really?
Copy !req
1477. No one is allowed inside Chef's house.
Copy !req
1478. Do you think you're special?
Copy !req
1479. You've disobeyed this rule.
Copy !req
1480. I take care of the customers
so that Chef can take care of the menu.
Copy !req
1481. You've been a nuisance
since you have arrived.
Copy !req
1482. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1483. If you don't mind me asking though...
Copy !req
1484. why would you die for him?
Copy !req
1485. You will not replace me.
Copy !req
1486. Replace you?
Copy !req
1487. Trust me, I have no...
Copy !req
1488. No, no. No!
Copy !req
1489. Stop!
Copy !req
1490. Enough!
Copy !req
1491. He didn't tell me about the barrel.
Copy !req
1492. I didn't forget.
Copy !req
1493. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1494. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1495. Hello?
Copy !req
1496. Happy birthday, dear Bryce
Copy !req
1497. Happy birthday to you
Copy !req
1498. You told them it was my birthday?
Copy !req
1499. Seemed funny about three hours ago.
Copy !req
1500. Thank you.
Copy !req
1501. Well, leave it there...
Copy !req
1502. and take your seat.
Copy !req
1503. I want you to understand something, Margot.
Copy !req
1504. I am a monster.
Copy !req
1505. No, was a monster.
Copy !req
1506. And a whore.
Copy !req
1507. But tonight, everything I'm doing is pure.
Copy !req
1508. Egoless.
Copy !req
1509. And at last, the pain is almost gone.
Copy !req
1510. Chef's hands.
Copy !req
1511. Asbestos hands.
Copy !req
1512. I can carry a cast-iron from a hot oven
to your table with no protection.
Copy !req
1513. I can no longer be hurt, Margot.
Copy !req
1514. As Dr. King said,
"We know through painful experience...
Copy !req
1515. "that freedom is never voluntarily given
by the oppressor.
Copy !req
1516. "It must be demanded by the oppressed."
Copy !req
1517. Did he just quote Martin Luther King?
Copy !req
1518. - Yep.
- Yes, he did.
Copy !req
1519. What?
Copy !req
1520. I see you found our radio.
Copy !req
1521. Clear the dining room immediately!
Copy !req
1522. It's a boat!
Copy !req
1523. Did you call someone?
Copy !req
1524. - It's a boat.
- It's a boat.
Copy !req
1525. What? What are you doing?
Copy !req
1526. - Easy! Easy, there!
- The fuck are you doing to that man?
Copy !req
1527. Bro, easy with that!
Copy !req
1528. Tight, tight, tight.
Copy !req
1529. Good.
Copy !req
1530. You'll be tempted to ask him for help.
Copy !req
1531. - To plead, even.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
1532. This would be unwise. He cannot help you.
Copy !req
1533. Ask yourselves two things.
Copy !req
1534. One, if you really wanna be responsible
for the death of an innocent man.
Copy !req
1535. And two, ask yourselves,
this entire evening...
Copy !req
1536. why didn't you all try harder to fight back?
Copy !req
1537. To get out of here?
Copy !req
1538. Honestly, you probably could have.
Copy !req
1539. Something to think about.
Copy !req
1540. Good evening, Officer. How can we help you?
Copy !req
1541. I got a report of a disturbance.
Copy !req
1542. Here?
Copy !req
1543. What kind of a disturbance?
Copy !req
1544. A violent one.
Copy !req
1545. - Are you the owner?
- I am the executive chef.
Copy !req
1546. Ownership changed hands recently,
but that's another story.
Copy !req
1547. Now, I don't wish to be rude,
but as you can see...
Copy !req
1548. we're right in the middle of service.
Copy !req
1549. Did anybody here call in a distress
over the shortwave tonight?
Copy !req
1550. We're not in the habit of serving
our guests...
Copy !req
1551. shortwave radios with their meals.
Copy !req
1552. Hey.
Copy !req
1553. Are you...
Copy !req
1554. Yes, yes, yes. I am.
Copy !req
1555. Wow. I'm a big fan.
Copy !req
1556. Thank you.
Copy !req
1557. Would you like his autograph?
Copy !req
1558. I don't want to bother you.
Copy !req
1559. No, no, no. It wouldn't be a bother.
Copy !req
1560. I just, I don't have a...
Copy !req
1561. No, we have a pen.
Copy !req
1562. Let's do it.
Copy !req
1563. Yeah.
Copy !req
1564. Thank you.
Copy !req
1565. - What's your name?
- Dale.
Copy !req
1566. Dale. What's up, Dale?
Copy !req
1567. Hi.
Copy !req
1568. You're great.
Copy !req
1569. My wife and I, we loved that...
Copy !req
1570. What's it called?
The one where you play the surgeon?
Copy !req
1571. Yeah.
Copy !req
1572. Calling Doctor Sunshine.
Copy !req
1573. Yeah! Yeah, great stuff.
Copy !req
1574. Here you go.
Copy !req
1575. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1576. Okay.
Copy !req
1577. Well, sorry again for bothering you folks.
Copy !req
1578. I'll be leaving now.
Copy !req
1579. For all you do, man, anytime.
Copy !req
1580. Well, thank you for your service.
Copy !req
1581. Hands on your head! Everyone! Now!
Copy !req
1582. No, no. You're joking.
Copy !req
1583. You're joking.
Copy !req
1584. I am not joking, sir.
Copy !req
1585. Come on. Clearly, there's a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
1586. Help us!
Copy !req
1587. - Yes! Yes!
- He wants to kill us all!
Copy !req
1588. Back to your seats! Everyone!
Back to your seat now!
Copy !req
1589. He's fucking crazy!
Copy !req
1590. Back in your chair now.
Copy !req
1591. Silence! Everyone, back to where you were.
Copy !req
1592. Sit down. Now!
Copy !req
1593. Quiet!
Copy !req
1594. - It's him! It's him!
- Him!
Copy !req
1595. - Everyone!
- He wants to kill us all!
Copy !req
1596. Do not speak!
Copy !req
1597. You.
Copy !req
1598. On your knees with your hands
over your head. Now.
Copy !req
1599. Yes!
Copy !req
1600. Thank you!
Copy !req
1601. You are fucked!
Copy !req
1602. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Copy !req
1603. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1604. All these other fuckers
are with them too, sir. Watch out.
Copy !req
1605. - Calm down!
- Fuck you!
Copy !req
1606. - Stay calm.
- Fuck you!
Copy !req
1607. Nobody move until I say so.
Copy !req
1608. No one move!
Copy !req
1609. - No, no!
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
1610. Hey, hey, hey.
Copy !req
1611. - Him, him, him!
- No!
Copy !req
1612. Thank you, Dale. Thank you.
Copy !req
1613. Good job.
Copy !req
1614. So, in a kitchen we all work together,
or nothing works at all.
Copy !req
1615. We work as a team.
Copy !req
1616. You...
Copy !req
1617. Margot from Nebraska.
Copy !req
1618. You've betrayed
our sacred bond of trust.
Copy !req
1619. And you've shown your craft to be careless.
Copy !req
1620. I was wrong.
Copy !req
1621. You're an eater. You're a taker.
Copy !req
1622. Like all the rest.
Copy !req
1623. Final course! Plating in five!
Copy !req
1624. Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
1625. I don't like your food.
Copy !req
1626. What did you say?
Copy !req
1627. I said I don't like your food,
Copy !req
1628. and I would like to send it back.
Copy !req
1629. I'm sorry to hear that.
Copy !req
1630. What about my food is not to your liking?
Copy !req
1631. For starters...
Copy !req
1632. you've taken the joy out of eating.
Copy !req
1633. Every dish you served tonight
has been some intellectual exercise...
Copy !req
1634. rather than something you want
to sit and enjoy.
Copy !req
1635. When I eat your food...
Copy !req
1636. it tastes like it was made with no love.
Copy !req
1637. Oh, this is ridiculous.
We always cook with love.
Copy !req
1638. - Don't we?
- Yes, Chef!
Copy !req
1639. Everyone knows love
is the most important ingredient.
Copy !req
1640. Then you're kidding yourself.
Copy !req
1641. Come on, Chef. I thought tonight
was a night of hard home truths.
Copy !req
1642. This is one of them.
You cook with obsession...
Copy !req
1643. not love.
Copy !req
1644. Even your hot dishes are cold.
Copy !req
1645. You're a chef.
Copy !req
1646. Your single purpose on this Earth
is to serve people food...
Copy !req
1647. that they might actually like,
and you have failed.
Copy !req
1648. You've failed.
Copy !req
1649. And you've bored me.
Copy !req
1650. And the worst part is...
Copy !req
1651. I'm still fucking hungry.
Copy !req
1652. You're still hungry?
Copy !req
1653. Yes, I am.
Copy !req
1654. How hungry?
Copy !req
1655. Starved.
Copy !req
1656. Well, what are you hungry for?
Copy !req
1657. What do you have?
Copy !req
1658. Everything.
Copy !req
1659. You know what I'd really like?
Copy !req
1660. Tell me.
Copy !req
1661. A cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1662. Yeah, we can do a cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1663. A real cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1664. Not some fancy, deconstructed avant bullshit.
Copy !req
1665. A real cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1666. Well, I'll make you a very good,
very traditional cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1667. I don't think you can.
Copy !req
1668. I'll make you feel as if you're eating
the first cheeseburger you ever ate.
Copy !req
1669. The cheap one your parents
could barely afford.
Copy !req
1670. - Show me.
- How do you like it?
Copy !req
1671. Medium. American cheese.
Copy !req
1672. American cheese is the best cheese
for a cheeseburger...
Copy !req
1673. because it melts without splitting.
Copy !req
1674. How much will that set me back?
Copy !req
1675. $9.95.
Copy !req
1676. That come with fries?
Copy !req
1677. - Niels.
- Yes, Chef?
Copy !req
1678. - Is the fryer still on?
- Yes, Chef.
Copy !req
1679. Crinkle-cut or julienne?
Copy !req
1680. Now that...
Copy !req
1681. is a cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1682. Yeah.
Copy !req
1683. That is a cheeseburger.
Copy !req
1684. Unfortunately, I think my eyes were
a little bigger than my stomach.
Copy !req
1685. Well, I understand.
Copy !req
1686. Can I get the rest to go?
Copy !req
1687. One moment, please.
Copy !req
1688. One cheeseburger to go.
Copy !req
1689. And a gift bag.
Copy !req
1690. Thank you for dining at Hawthorn.
Copy !req
1691. Thank you...
Copy !req
1692. For everything.
Copy !req
1693. Before our final course,
there is the matter of the bill.
Copy !req
1694. We're on a no-tip system,
so gratuity is included.
Copy !req
1695. And please enjoy your gift bags.
Copy !req
1696. Some goodies in there.
Copy !req
1697. A booklet of our local suppliers...
Copy !req
1698. some house-made granola...
Copy !req
1699. one of Doug Verrick's fingers...
Copy !req
1700. and a copy of tonight's menu.
Copy !req
1701. No, no.
Copy !req
1702. It's on the magazine.
Copy !req
1703. I told you you weren't leaving.
Copy !req
1704. So, once again...
Copy !req
1705. thank you for dining with us tonight.
Copy !req
1706. You represent the ruin of my art...
Copy !req
1707. and my life...
Copy !req
1708. and now you get to be a part of it.
Copy !req
1709. A part of what I hope is my masterpiece.
Copy !req
1710. And now, our final dessert course
is a playful twist on a comfort food classic.
Copy !req
1711. The s'more.
Copy !req
1712. The most offensive assault
on the human palate ever contrived.
Copy !req
1713. Unethically sourced chocolate
and gelatinized sugar water...
Copy !req
1714. imprisoned by industrial-grade
graham cracker.
Copy !req
1715. It's everything wrong with us,
and yet we associate it with innocence.
Copy !req
1716. With childhood.
Copy !req
1717. Mom and Dad.
Copy !req
1718. But what transforms this fucking monstrosity
is fire.
Copy !req
1719. Oh, God.
Copy !req
1720. The purifying flame.
Copy !req
1721. It nourishes us, warms us...
Copy !req
1722. re-invents us, forges...
Copy !req
1723. and destroys us.
Copy !req
1724. We must embrace the flame.
Copy !req
1725. Jesus fucking Christ! Please.
Copy !req
1726. We must be cleansed.
Copy !req
1727. Made clean.
Copy !req
1728. Like martyrs...
Copy !req
1729. or heretics.
Copy !req
1730. We can be subsumed...
Copy !req
1731. and made anew.
Copy !req
1732. Thank you.
Copy !req
1733. I love you all!
Copy !req
1734. We love you, Chef!
