22x03 - Citizens of Hell's Kitchen

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on
Hell's Kitchen: The American Dream...

-Now let's go.
-Let's go.

[narrator] The chefs were challenged
to get creative with fresh scallops.

Is anyone doing raw scallops?

[narrator] And there was a major prize
for the best dish on each team.

[Carmen] The Punishment Pass is gold
in this competition.

I need to get my hands on one.

Red Team and Blue Team,

come back to me with the top three dishes.

Mine should definitely go up.

[narrator] Miami line cook Carmen
tried pushing her way in.

[Carmen] I think mine is going up.

-No, that's not what we said.
-Hold on a second.

[narrator]
But the Red Team selected Sammi, Leigh

and Melissa's scallop dishes,

while the Blue Team chose
Jermaine, Johnathan and Ryan.

Delicious, young man.

[narrator] Ultimately, it was...

Melissa, well done.

[narrator] And...

Johnathan, well done.

[narrator]
...who were awarded the Punishment Passes.

This is part of the American dream,
people.

[narrator]
At opening night's dinner service...

-It's like a boxing ring.
-[Atoye] What you need?

-I just need that chicken.
-Where is the chicken?

[narrator] ...music tour chef Sandra...

I got some steaks, and I'm looking around.
I don't see no chicken.

-[narrator] ...and Atoye...
-Put chicken in the oven?

-No, no, no.
-[narrator] ...were not in tune...

-That's not good. Not f*cking good.
-I know.

Oh, my God.

[narrator]
Which had Chef Ramsay screaming the blues.

Get out!

[narrator] In the Blue kitchen...

Watch out with the hot oil.
Calm down. Take a breath.

[narrator]
...sous chef Tad's undercooked steak...

What the f*ck is happening?

[narrator]
...and line cook Brad's raw chicken...

f*ck off.

-Oh, my God.
-[narrator] ...sank the Blue Team.

Get the f*ck out of here.

[narrator]
At elimination, the Red Team nominated...

-Atoye.
-[narrator] ...and...

Sandra.

-[narrator] While the Blue Team nominated...
-Tad, Chef.

-[narrator] ...and...
-[Ryan] Brad.

[narrator]
But in the end, Chef Ramsay sent...

-Tad.
-[narrator] ...home,

ending his American dream
of becoming head chef

at Gordon Ramsay's
Hell's Kitchen restaurant

at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

And now the continuation
of Hell's Kitchen.

-Now, f*ck off.
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Oh, mamma mia.

This was truly one of the most humbling

and scariest experiences
I've had to deal with.

And, like, my mom's Cuban.
Like, that's saying a lot.

Right now we're a team.

-And I feel like I let you guys down.
-Bro.

-'Cause it was, like, simple sh*t.
-I know.

It's okay.
We're all going to have a moment.

You got it out the way.
Look at it like that.

Can you help me verbalize
something real quick?

Mm-hmm.

-Salmon has the cold salad.
-Yep.

Scallops have the warm salad.

-Yes.
-Okay.

-Yep. Oh, sh*t.
-[gasps]

Oh!

Girl, I grabbed your leg. [chuckles]

Raneisha, we cannot afford
to lose you right now.

-Hell, no!
-I hate this chair!

-f*ck that chair!
-[chefs laughing]

-Come on, girl!
-f*ck this chair.

[laughing continues]

You gonna be a meme.

-Oh, sh*t.
-Oh!

-Oh, sh*t.
-Oh!

-Oh, sh*t.
-Oh!

-Good morning, chefs.
-[chefs] Good morning!

I need you to line up
and get into the kitchen.

-Boys! Come on.
-We gotta go.

Quick, hurry up.

-Now, be very, very quiet.
-[indistinct singing]

There's something very important
taking place in there.

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes? Let's go.

♪ America, America ♪

♪ God shed His grace on thee ♪

♪ And crown thy good... ♪

I realized immediately
that this is their ceremony

to become American citizens

because I just became American last year.

♪ America, America ♪

[Claudia]
Being on Hell's Kitchen and winning,

that would be everything for me.

That would be my American dream.

It's just such an honor
to be American, to me.

So... [sniffles]
...it was very emotional for me.

-[sniffles]
-♪ From sea to shining sea ♪

Congratulations on becoming citizens
of the United States of America.

[cheering]

I'm not an American citizen yet,
but I aspire to be there someday myself.

America is a land of opportunities,
and it's treated me well thus far.

Why wouldn't I want to be
a part of the team?

[Ramsay]
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

On behalf of all of us here
in Hell's Kitchen,

a big, hearty congratulations.

We are deeply honored to serve you

your first incredible meal
as American citizens.

The first team to serve all their tables

and ring this triangle here
will win the challenge.

-Is that clear?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Good, we're opening. Let's go.

[narrator] In this morning's
American dream speed brunch challenge...

-Divide and conquer.
-I'ma do omelets.

-Chicken and waffles is where I'm at.
-[narrator] ...the teams are tasked

with serving classic American dishes

to some of the United States'
newest citizens.

Are you excited to have

-your first American breakfast...
-Very excited.

as a US citizen?

Gordon Ramsay? What can you ask for?

[narrator] Every table will
receive crab cakes to share,

followed by a choice
of fried chicken and waffles,

steak and eggs, or a Denver omelet.

-[patron 1] Can I get the Denver omelet?
-[patron 2] Steak and eggs.

[all] Cheers!

Okay, here we go. Table 31, six crab cake.
Entrée, three steak and egg,

three chicken and waffle.

-Yes, Chef!
-Let's go, ladies.

Let's have a good service.

Here we go.
Blue Team, six crab cakes, yes?

Entrée, three omelet,
three chicken and waffles, yes?

-Yes, Chef!
-[Ramsay] Hey, it's a brunch now, okay?

-Don't overthink it.
-[Johnathan] Yes, Chef. Let's go, boys.

Crab cakes are, like, second hand to me.

I've made thousands
of hundreds of billions

of crab cakes in my life,
so the second I see those,

I'm foaming at the mouth,
ready to f*ckin' cook these crab cakes.

-[Ryan] A little on each.
-[Johnathan] Less is more.

Six coming, Chef.

Beautiful plate, beautiful plate.

[Ramsay] Let's go.

Right behind with crab cakes.

-Is this correct, Chef?
-Yeah.

[narrator] With both teams getting

crab cakes out to their tables
without issue...

They're really good.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay is now looking
for each team's first entrées.

[Ramsay] Three steak and egg,
three waffle. How long?

Walking out with chicken,
walking out with steak.

-[Ramsay] Hey, ladies.
-[both] Yes, Chef!

-[Ramsay] All of you, come here.
-[Raneisha] Oh, sh*t.

It's f*cking raw. What planet are you on?

America, Earth.

America... No, young lady,
hey, I'm not laughing now.

-I'm not laughing.
-She's laughing.

No, I'm not laughing, Chef.
I'm not laughing, Chef. I'm not laughing.

Can you tell planet Earth
this is embarrassing?

-Get a grip.
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

-Quickly.
-Yes, Chef.

Refire that chicken, Claudia.

Hey, Jermaine, chicken?

Chicken is taking a lot longer
than expected

-'cause I'm making sure that it's cooked.
-Heard that.

[Jermaine] All I'm thinking is,
last night's dinner service,

my team served him raw chicken.

[Ramsay] Pink in the middle. Look at that.

-It's f*cking raw.
-Hey, hey. f*ck off.

[Jermaine] So I'm not gonna
let them down today.

-[Ramsay] Where's the chicken? How long?
-[Jermaine] Four minutes.

Let's go, let's go, let's go. Excuse me.
On your back. Hot.

Let's give it about three, four minutes.
We're not sending out no more raw.

[Raneisha] I'm from Mississippi.
Those are comfort foods for me.

Like, it's the sh*t I grew up on.

Give me a leg.

So once I jump on chicken,
we get in the groove of things.

Chicken and waffles, now.

Got two chicken and waffle behind you.

Raneisha, chicken's cooked nicely.
Finally, thank you.

Thank you, Chef.

[Jermaine] Two chicken and waffles
walking to the pass.

As long as that oven we can get into
convection, we will be perfect, I promise.

-[Ramsay] Let's go.
-[Marino] Buon appetito.

[narrator] With both teams cautiously
preparing their fried chicken...

-Two chicken.
-Two chicken, two waffles walking.

[narrator] ...entrées are now
flying out of the kitchens.

-Chicken and waffles for you.
-Wow, it's really good.

-Really good, yeah.
-Yeah.

On order, six covers table 7.

Two steak and egg, two omelet,
two chicken and waffle.

-Heard?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

-How long?
-How long on waffles?

-Four minutes, Chef.
-I got two minutes on chicken.

-Four minutes, four.
-It's like a f*cking car auction.

-Two or three minutes. Like, two minutes.
-Four minutes, Chef.

-Four minutes.
-Oh, my... One minute, two minute,

-four minute... Any more bids?
-How long for your omelets?

-Two minutes.
-Is it all two minutes?

-[chefs] Yes, Chef!
-Sold to table 7!

-Yes, Chef.
-f*ck me.

I'm not here to just play games.
This is real life for me.

I'm actually here to win.

And I think that the girls need
to do better at communicating.

Everybody, talk.
Everyone, make each other look good.

On order, six covers. Table 23.
Entrée, two steak and eggs,

-two omelet, two chicken and waffle.
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Two, two. How long on the next
two pieces of chicken?

Chicken's about two minutes.
They're in the oven.

[Mattias] I've cooked thousands
of steaks before.

If I look like an idiot cooking steaks,
I'm gonna have to hear about it back home.

-Walk that first through. Thank you.
-Let's go.

[Mattias]
Oh, please, please, please, be nice.

Hey, Mattias.

-Yes, Chef.
-Come here, you fuckface. Come here.

-Yes, Chef.
-Just touch that.

Look at me. Don't bring
a stone-cold steak ever again.

-Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.
-Okay, get it on the grill.

Let's go.

[scoffs]
Wait, how do I say this respectfully?

I don't think Mattias can cook
to save his life.

-[Ramsay] Hey, Mattias.
-Yes, Chef.

Cut the bullshit.
Give me a f*cking hot steak, will you?

-Yes, Chef.
-Two steaks, let's go.

-You wanna throw it in the oven?
-No.

I'll just heat it up back on the grill.
Take that back to the grill.

Hot steak, Chef.

Let's go.

[narrator] With Mattias quickly rebounding
from his cold steak...

Two omelet, two chicken and waffle, yes?

-[chefs] Yes, Chef!
-How long?

-[chefs] Two and a half!
-Wow, finally.

[narrator] ...and the Red Team
continuing to push out perfect dishes...

-Go, John, please.
-Buon appetito.

[narrator] ...both teams have fed most
of the newly minted US citizens,

and Chef Ramsay
is already moving on to the...

Last table, Blue Team.
Two steak, two omelet. Heard?

-[chefs] Yes, Chef!
-Last table, let's go.

-Guys, last ticket.
-Let's go!

On order, last table,
four covers table 36.

-Two steak, two chicken and waffle.
-[chefs] Yes, Chef!

Two steak, two chicken!
Three minutes, let's go.

This is the last f*cking chicken!
Let's go!

-Let's finish strong! Walk together!
-How long you need on two eggs?

Two minutes, two minutes.

Two minutes, heard.
Two minutes, walk it all!

-Y'all want to win, right? Let's go!
-Yes, Chef!

Let's go, let's go!

-Chicken right there.
-Let's go!

-Where's the chicken?
-Your chicken.

-Walking two omelets.
-[Ramsay] Last table, gentlemen!

Two omelets. Two omelets, Chef.

-Where's the steak?
-Steaks are coming, 30 seconds.

Two steak, two steak! Let's go!

-Let's start going! Go, go, go!
-Behind! Steak walking, steak walking!

Carmen, steak is walking.

-Where's the eggs?
-Where's the eggs?

-Where's the eggs? Ladies!
-Let's go, let's go, let's go.

I'm not sending them raw.
It needs, like, 20 seconds.

-Two steak to the pass.
-[Ramsay] Eggs?

-We're finished?
-Don't you f*cking dare.

-Where's the eggs?
-Right here, Chef.

Carmen, let's get the eggs,
let's get the eggs.

-[Carmen] Eggs coming now.
-Go, go, go.

-Let's go, let's go.
-Right now, right now!

[narrator] With a dining room full of
newly sworn-in American citizens...

-Where's the steak?
-Steaks are coming, 30 seconds.

Steak walking, steak walking!
Carmen, steak is walking!

[narrator] ...both teams are racing
to get their last table

of brunch entrées out to the dining room.

-Two steak to the pass.
-Where's the eggs?

-Right here, Chef!
-Let's get the eggs, let's get the eggs.

[Carmen] I've got the eggs coming now.

[narrator] The first team
to finish wins the challenge.

-Go, go, go!
-Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Right now, right now!

[Ramsay] Go.

Congratulations, Blue Team.

[cheering]

Ding-a-ling-a-ding. Bob's your uncle.
We're the winners. About f*ckin' time too.

Act like y'all been here before.
Tighten up.

Oh, my God.

Send that please, Christina.

[Carmen] I f*cked up on the eggs
at the end, so I'm sorry, guys.

But we were trying to,
like, race each other

to the front when we got
to walk together, guys.

Like, it's just about communicating.

We got to make sure
we're all on the same page

and listen to each other.

Y'all, I'm sorry.
I'm not finna accept the bullshit.

You should've been listening
what the ticket was

and what the time was 'cause we was all
on the same time at one time.

Then all of a sudden, it's like,
"I got to do this, and I got to do this.

And I'm not listening.
I'm sorry I didn't listen." f*ck that.

Y'all giving too many
g*dd*mn excuses for me.

I'm a mother of six. I get enough
excuses every f*ckin' day in my house.

I know what an excuse looks like.

"Well, we weren't communicating,
and we were"... That's bullshit.

We not finna get up here
and do this plastic girl-ass sh*t.

You flustered on your f*ckin' station
and made us t*nk with one damn egg.

We was yelling time perfectly,
so how the f*ck we fall off?

If one person doesn't know,
then we're all f*cked.

How could you not know?
We're f*ckin' talking!

All you had was a f*ckin' egg!

I missed one egg at the end,
and I'm sorry, okay?

But the egg was not what,
like, tore us apart.

That's delusional if you think that.
We sent raw chicken. Hello?

What about that raw chicken?

We bounced back from raw chicken.
We not finna throw people under the bus.

-We did bounce back.
-Take your charge.

-We did bounce back.
-Stop! Shut up!

-Telling everybody about what you did.
-Shut up!

[Raneisha] Y'all talking about other sh*t.

Y'all up here worried about
somebody else station.

There's people out there.

Oh, my God, what are you...
In front of everyone like that?

This is so embarrassing.

Blue Team, congratulations.

I've arranged exclusively for all of you

the chicest rooftop Hollywood pool party...

-Yes.
-Okay.

At the fabulous Godfrey Hotel.

You'll also dine
on a gourmet meal from Craig's.

Every A-lister wants to be seen in there.

Red Team, whilst hosting our new Americans

was an incredibly important brunch for me,

it was also enormously messy.

And as you can see,
there's confetti everywhere.

So I need all of you
to get this dining room

back in order
ahead of tonight's dinner service.

-[chefs] Yes, Chef.
-But here's the thing.

There's only one way to do this.

You need to get down
and pick up the confetti with your hands.

So a little... ah, ah.
And just pick them up there.

And you'll see they'll stick beautifully.

-Understood?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Melissa,
I've got a very important question.

You've got that Punishment Pass.
So what will it be?

Will it be the prestige
Hollywood pool party

or the confetti cleanup crew?

Today's forecast is in the high 80s.

-And I need some sun. Oh, my God.
-Go, man.

-Melissa.
-Go.

Melissa, are you going?

No, Chef. I'm staying with my team.

[Ramsay] You're staying with your team.

-Respect.
-[Ramsay] Okay. Men.

-A lot of respect.
-Head to the dorms. Let's go.

-Thanks, Chef.
-[chefs] Thank you, Chef.

Confetti cleanup crew, let's go.

It definitely sucks to lose a challenge.

-Let's get some bus tubs.
-And I'm gonna grab a trash can.

[Leigh] It is an overwhelming
amount of confetti.

I mean, you got to go one by one.

That sh*t's not easy to pick up.

I just feel like they gonna check
every nook and cranny. You feel me?

[Blue Team whooping, cheering]

-[chef 1] We get floaties.
-Let's go. We got the floaties.

[Johnathan] I thought for sure there was
a big rainbow unicorn.

-Got it, baby!
-[laughter]

-[chefs] Oh!
-[Johnathan] Oh, my, my!

-Here he is, boys.
-What's up?

[cheering, applause]

Why you got to flex like that, bro?

Why you got to flex on us?

You know, my daughter's gonna watch this.

-[laughter]
-Please, cut it out.

-"Daddy, who's that?"
-Please, cut it out.

The flex on those shorts
are insane right now.

The man, the swagger,
walking out like that,

there's no words to sum it up.

-Whoo!
-Yes!

We gotta, baby!

[narrator] While the men
are living large poolside,

the ladies are drowning in confetti.

-Look at this.
-I know.

-It's all...
-The whole bar.

-The whole bar.
-Did they put more?

-[laughs]
-Serious?

For every piece of confetti that I find
that didn't get picked up,

I'm emptying one of the bags
that you have.

"Every piece of confetti needs
to get picked up."

They're all in the nooks and crannies,
like a f*ckin' English muffin right now.

[Melissa]
We up here now, 2,000 more pieces.

Something smells good.

-Oysh, oysh, oysh, oysh.
-[vocalizing]

-[chattering]
-Let's go.

The food's awesome.
I feel like I'm on another planet.

Like, this is something that...
back home, nah.

-This wouldn't happen to me.
-Hey, guys.

Hey, guys. Chicken's cooked.

-Hey!
-Ah!

-So then you didn't cook that then, right?
-No, I didn't.

[laughter]

The cool thing, though,
is that no matter how good

they think they are,
we had one less pair of hands,

which means that's proof
that we're adjusting.

We're continually growing,
and we just have to keep doing that.

Do y'all think
they got all the confetti up?

Absolutely not, no. By hand?
Not a f*ckin' chance.

Is that it for confetti?


Yes, Chef.

-[Christina] Ladies.
-What happened?

-No.
-Oh, hell, no.

-What happened?
-What?

-That is tape, Chef. Let me peel it off.
-That is tape.

-Yeah, it was tape.
-It was tape.

-'Cause that's tape on that table too.
-Yeah, it's on that table.

Let me see what's in your hand,
'cause if that's not tape,

we're gonna have an issue, Melissa.

-Did you just lie?
-Was it tape?

Is it tape, or is it confetti?
Is it tape or confetti?

Tell me. Was it confetti?

-[Christina] Ladies.
-What happened?

-No.
-[Raneisha] Oh, hell, no.

[Melissa] That is tape, Chef.

-Let me peel it off.
-That is tape.

-Yeah.
-It was tape.

Let me see what's in your hand,
'cause if that's not tape,

we're gonna have an issue, Melissa.
Is it tape or confetti?

Tell me. Was it confetti?

You don't have to lie to me.
Please don't, especially over confetti.

Don't you f*ckin' lie.

In Polish, my mom always used to tell me...

[speaking Polish]

Right?

Which means, "Lies have very short legs."

Don't ever look me in the eye
and lie to me.

I got to dump a bag.
I should dump them all.

Would any of you guys have lied to me
over a piece of confetti?

-No.
-f*ck, no.

'Cause I didn't even
think to look up there.

Everybody is like,
"Oh, no, I would never lie to you, Chef."

Say less. I could be poolside right now,

but no, here I am with you girls.

-[chef] Did she lie?
-[Leigh] It did seem like tape.

Oh, damn.

Come on, mama.

The way you picked it up, and I heard it,
it was like, "Oh, that's tape."

Yeah.

I was trying to take one for the team,

and everyone else was
taking one for themselves.

So noted, and going forward,
that's what it'll be,

everyone for themselves.

[narrator] With the men returning
from a day of luxury poolside...

Energized, motivated, let's go.

[narrator] And the women's
confetti cleanup finally finished...

-Don't go too fast. That's why...
-Slow down to speed up, Chef.

-Heard.
-Exactly that.

Just like you're driving a car, right?

[narrator] ...both teams are setting up

for their second dinner service
in Hell's Kitchen.

Just roll it out like [indistinct], right?

-Marino.
-Yes, Chef.

-Open Hell's Kitchen, please. Let's go.
-Subito.

[narrator] Hell's Kitchen is
once again the place to be

and the place to be seen in Los Angeles.

[all] Cheers!

[narrator] And tonight, each kitchen
will be looking after Chef Tables.

Thank you.

[narrator] Former NFL player Victor Cruz

will be dining in the Blue kitchen.

Interior designer
and Fab Five member Bobby Berk

will be dining in the Red kitchen.

-Bobby, welcome, sir. Are you good?
-Thank you.

[narrator] And diners are ready
for a meal to remember.

Wait, do they have a strip steak?

You know that's what I want.

[narrator]
In addition to the classic menu,

Chef Ramsay has added a Cobb salad...

[Marino] We've got to make it
presentable and nice, okay?

[narrator]
...to be served in the dining room

by Sammi for the Red Team
and Devon for the Blue Team.

On order, Blue Team,
two beet salad, two carbonara.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Johnathan] Four minutes on carbonara.

-You good, you good?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think it's a great way
to prove to Chef Ramsay

that I'm a great leader,
by having Brad on my side.

We have a good game plan.

You know, he's gonna work the cold apps,

and I'm gonna pick up the hot apps.
I got Brad's back.

-[Ramsay] Very nice.
-Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] Table 3, please, yes?

Here we go, ladies.
Two scallops, two risotto.

-Heard?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Give me a time, Sandra.

[Sandra] Two scallops, two risotto,
seven minutes.

I'm on apps tonight with Melissa.

That's going to set the mood
for the night.

How long on lobster tail?

-Four minutes.
-Four minutes?

I don't want to fall apart tonight.
I don't.

-[Ramsay] Where's the risotto, please?
-Walking risotto.

The risotto's walking. Just get it.

-[Ramsay] Lobster?
-[Claudia] Yeah, get it off.

-Claudia, look alive.
-I'm sorry.

I don't cook a lot of lobster, okay?

I've never really poached lobster,
so I'm kind of worried about that.

-Walking lobster.
-Walking risotto.

Both of you right in the middle.

[Ramsay] Oh.

Claudia!

-Seven minutes on the risotto!
-Claudia!

-Yes.
-[chuckles] No, it's still raw.

-Heard, Chef.
-Come on, back in.

-Claudia.
-Yes, Chef.

It's our first table.
I'd like to get out of the gate strong.

-It's our first table.
-Yes, Chef! Heard, Chef!

Claudia, wake up.

Like, it's not that hard to cook lobster.

Walking lobster tails.

[Ramsay] Very nice.

Don't give up. Let's go.

[narrator] With Claudia finally
getting her lobster properly cooked,

appetizers are now leaving both kitchens
at a steady pace.

It's delicious.

[narrator]
And with diners raving about their dishes...

The scallops are amazing.
They're seared perfectly.

I don't know if I've ever
had a better scallop before.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay is ready
to move on to entrées.

Chef Table VIP, one salmon, one chicken.

-Heard?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef!

-Let's go.
-We know what we're doing.

We got a game plan. Execute that sh*t.

I think our team has a great chance
of coming in on top tonight.

We won the challenge this morning,

and we're coming in
with a lot of momentum.

I know I can cook damn good chicken,

so I want this to be
the first step to a long path

of us kicking ass.

I'ma need like two minutes on this.

Hey, hey, fuckface. Stop blowing.
The worst thing you can do.

Just leave it.

Just leave... f*ck me. Jesus.

-Oh, f*ck.
-Out of the way.

-Out of the way. Get out.
-Yes, Chef.

-Just leave it. Leave it.
-Leave it.

-Yes, Chef.
-sh*t.

Oh, my God.

f*ck me. Out of the way.

sh*t. What the f*ck are you doing?

f*cking sh*t.

My apologies, Chef.

Just... Hey, slow the f*ck down.

Yes, Chef.

I don't want him to have to look at me

like someone he has to keep
a negative eye on.

Calm down. You don't need
to set the f*ckin' place on fire.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Chef Table, VIP.

-Pick it up. Let's go.
-[Johnathan] How long on chicken?

Chicken, three minutes, three minutes.

[Ryan] Three minutes.
Three minutes to the pass.

-Garnish, you're gonna walk in two.
-Two minutes on garnish. Heard.

Chicken, salmon.

[Ryan] One salmon,
one chicken walking, Chef. Yes?

Chef, one salmon, one chicken walking.

Grab this piece of chicken out.
Send that over to him.

-Thank you, sir.
-Chicken up, Chef.

[Ramsay] Raw chicken.

f*ck.

Hey. You can say f*ck it
like a big f*cking Shrek sack of sh*t.

Come here, you. Come here.
Look... Look how pink it is.

And then on top of that,
you turn the f*cking chicken,

underneath, it's just cremated.

An NFL legend. Come on, guys.

-f*ck off, will you? Yes?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

I have an extra one in the oven.

This is a little different than
Coach Coughlin yelling at me, right?

Like, he's looking
like he's about to really thr*aten me.

I'm not f*cking that up again.
Not f*cking doing it.

Double-check that chicken
he's got in the oven.

Let me see this. Fix your apron.
Fix your apron. Fix yourself.

-What? Oh, thank you, thank you.
-Make sure you look good.

[Johnathan] The fact that Mattias is
going down right next to me

and everybody else is watching it

honestly f*cking peeves me.

I don't care how many dishes I have

or what the f*ck I have going on.

I'm gonna figure it out,
and I'm gonna help this guy out.

Let's baste that chicken.
Baste it, baste it.

Leave it on the heat as high as possible.

[narrator] While Johnathan
coaches Mattias on meat...

-You're good, you're good.
-All right, thank you, sir.

[narrator] ...Red Team starts working on...

-[Ramsay] Chef Table VIP, yes?
-Yes, Chef.

One salmon, one Wellington. Heard?

-Yes, Chef.
-Don't switch off, ladies.

-Let's go.
-Give us a time, Carmen.

-Give us a time.
-Eight.

We should be done
in seven and a half by now... seven.

I'ma say six minutes on that.

-Six. All right, six.
-Six minutes on that ticket.

[Donna] Carmen doesn't push a ticket.
She doesn't say anything.

There's always a f*ckin' negotiation.
There's too much explanations.

There's too much other stuff going on.

-Where's the Wellington?
-[Carmen] Right here, Chef.

I'm cutting it. It's right here.

[Donna] Guys, if you're ready to
walk a Wellington, I'm ready.

Walking. Behind, behind.

Wellie to your left, Chef.

[narrator]
It's 45 minutes into dinner service...

[Donna] Guys, if you're ready
to walk a Wellington, I'm ready.

[narrator] ...and the Red Team is
hoping to impress their VIPs.

Wellie walking. Wellie to your left, Chef.

[Ramsay] Okay, good.
Service Chef Table, please.

That same sh*t again. Let's go, let's go.

-And the Wellington for you.
-That looks delicious.

The sauce is good.

[narrator] As for Devon,
who's working on the Cobb salad,

he appears to be working on one
of the customers as well.

[Devon] So are you just out for a night
on the town or...

-Out for a night on the town.
-Okay, I dig it.

I'm really digging
the glitter on your face.

Sweet. No, thank you.

-Yeah, you're very welcome.
-How old are you?

I am 28. I'll be 29 in two months.

-Okay. So you've had some experience.
-Oh, wait. I'm sorry.

I'm 29. I'll be 30 in two months. I forget

-'cause I'm trying to avoid being 30.
-You forgot your age?

I know what you mean. I forget my age too.

She was really cute,
and I couldn't be rude to her

because I'd be failing Chef Ramsay.

So you know, I did what I had to do.

Are you excited about this salad?

-Yeah.
-I'm jealous that I can't eat it.

You'll have to let me know
before you leave, eh?

Okay. Yeah, I'll let you know.

[narrator] While Devon works
on tossing his salad...

I'd rather have it over
than under at this point.

[narrator] ...Mattias attempts to make good
on his refired chicken.

[Santos] How long on salmon, chicken VIP?

[chef] Good to walk. Walk those.

-[Santos] Let's go, let's go.
-Walking salmon.

Heard on the sammy.

[Johnathan] Chicken right here.

[sighs]

[Mattias] It's not.

[Ramsay] Come here.

I'm gonna ask all of you,

is that your best chicken
for a f*cking NFL f*cking...

[chef] No, Chef.

[Mattias] Didn't wanna
send him raw chicken again.

I wanted to guarantee that
I didn't send him raw chicken.

But that's not the f*cking way
I wanted to guarantee it.

sh*t.

If you can't give me
anything better than that,

you need to go home.

-I can give you better, Chef.
-Well, f*cking do it.

Yes, Chef.

-[chef] How long on the chicken?
-[Mattias] 90 seconds.

[Ryan] If you can't cook
a chicken breast, get the f*ck out.

Anybody that doesn't know how
to cook a chicken breast

-does not deserve to be here.
-I have my refire right here.

-Is it ready?
-Yes.

Chicken refired.

Okay, good. Marino, let's go.

Come on, rally. Pick y'all heads up.
Let's keep moving, yo.

[Marino] Buon appetito.
Thank you for your patience.

[narrator] The Blue Team
has finally scored with their VIPs.

This is delicious. They figured it out.

[narrator] And the Red kitchen
is moving on to...

The six top. Two halibut, two lamb,
two Wellington, how long?

We should be down to two...
two and a half, yes?

-Hey, drive them.
-I am, Chef.

Don't say,
"Should it be down, maybe two and a half?

Should we go shopping,
get our nails done?" f*cking drive it.

-[Raneisha] Two minutes on halibut, right?
-Let's go!

Are you ready to walk in two?

-Yes, yes.
-All right, let's go.

So that's two lamb, two Wellington.
Let's fire these lamb.

Two lamb, two salmon, two Wellington.

-That pomme puree needs to be done.
-Garnish, garnish.

-Three minutes on the salmon. Thank you.
-Garnish.

Working with Carmen is very frustrating
because you have one station.

You can't be worrying
about somebody else's station,

and trying to turn around,
and be the leader,

and the whole time, you f*ckin' up.

Walking lamb, walking Wellie.

The halibut, I need.

Just put the pan down.
Just put the pan down there. That's it.

Hey, ladies. Come here, come here.

Can someone tell me what that is there?

-That's raw, Chef.
-Come on, baste it!

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.

Baste, baste, baste. Let's go, Donya.
Push, push, push. You all right.

Ladies, except for the halibut,
all come here.

Except for the halibut. Go, go, go.

Halibut, how long?

One and a half minutes out on halibut.

Just stand, just stand.

Let me show you how painful it is.

[Carmen] This feeling sucks.
Like, you just want to impress him,

and now we're all standing on the pass,
waiting for a piece of fish.

Put it down.

Oh, my God.
Christina, get some butter in there.

-[Christina] Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] I'm not serving that.

[Christina] I know. I got a new one.

Service!

Take five out the six.
Take five out the six.

That is embarrassing.

-Feeling my pain?
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Welcome to my world.

Thank you so much.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Ramsay] Now I want two Wellington,
one New York strip, one chicken, no lamb...

-How long?
-Eight minutes.

-Eight minutes.
-Let's go. Eight minutes to window.

-Eight minutes.
-Yes, Chef.

[narrator] As the Red Team
rushes to redeem themselves,

the Blue Team picks up another ticket.

Fire now, one Wellington,
one New York strip,

-one halibut, one salmon.
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

-Give me a time.
-How long you guys need?

-How long we need on Wellies?
-Oh, my... Look at them.

Five minutes, tops, Chef.

-Five minutes...
-Six minutes to the window!

Six minutes to the window.
Yes, Chef, counting down.

You want to start basting the halibut

-for me?
-Yep.

-There you go.
-What can I do? What can I do? Someone?

[Brad] I feel like
I got the short end of the stick here

because I got everything out,
and I was like, wait.

Is everybody good over here on this side?

-Yes, yes. We're good. We're good.
-You're good?

-What can I help you with?
-Nothing right now.

Like, I-I just feel so useless.

Chef, you're good, you're good?

I'm good, I'm good.
I'm golden, I'm golden.

Yeah, all good, buddy, yeah.

I am trying to do my best
to get around the kitchen

and help people.

I just... No one's taking the help.

-[chef] Chef.
-Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Come on, man.
Don't throw sh*t in my station.

-Sorry, sorry, sorry.
-Please, please.

That was me, that was me.

[Ryan] I'm kind of worried about Brad
because he works very frantically,

and that rubs off on other people.
It all falls apart when you get frantic.

-Deep breaths.
-I know.

Making sure. You said run around.

-I'm like, I'm running.
-Deep breath.

You got it, baby.

-Good on the Wellie?
-Yep.

-Heard. Going up now.
-Salmon on your left, Chef.

Behind.

Strip.

One Wellington to the pass.

[Ramsay] This steak is blue and ice cold.

Oh, f*ckin' hell.

Look at the Wellington.
Look at the f*cking Wellington.

Hey, hey, just come here.
All of you, come here.

Look at that f*cking Wellington.

Get out.

Get the f*ck out of here.

I just can't believe it.
f*ckin' two days in a row.

Like, we haven't finished service yet.

Hey, Blue Team! Here's some homework.

Have a chat and come up
with two f*ckin' nominees

that are leaving quickly because I'm done.

Now f*ck off.

[chefs] Yes, Chef.

[chef sighs] f*ck.

Here you are, Chef. Popped off.
I'll switch with you.

All right. Garnish and New York strip
is out, guys.

New York. How long?

New York walking out. Excuse me.

One minute for the chicken, Chef.

[Ramsay] And it's f*cking blue as well.

Oh, come here, ladies.

Come here, all of you. Hurry up. Let's go.

[narrator] With the Blue Team
kicked out of dinner service

for serving raw meat...

This is a f*cking joke, boys.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay has
discovered a similar problem

in the Red kitchen.

[Ramsay] And it's f*cking blue as well.

Oh, come here, ladies.

Come here, all of you.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Now I've got blue steak. Blue steak.

Not mid-rare, cold in the middle and blue.

I don't know what the f*ck is going on,

but have a meeting
and get your sh*t together,

or all of you go home.

-I f*cked that up.
-Yes, Chef.

-Yes, Chef.
-Quickly.

-Yes, Chef.
-Okay, guys. So where we at?

I f*cked up that steak,
so I take that charge.

-Just own it. Start basting it.
-I got another one coming...

Okay, let's move on.
What's next, what's next?

Next steak can take three minutes.

-Heard.
-Are you sure?

-I'm positive.
-On the line now.

-Chef said now.
-Go.

[Raneisha] Right now,
I know I have to step my sh*t up

and serve perfectly cooked steaks.

We don't have time
for soft sh*t right now.

We're in Hell's Kitchen.

We need to be around here like we got
dicks between our legs.

That looks good. Put it in. Sizzle.

-[Ramsay] Fresh garnish?
-Walking with the strip, Chef.

f*ck.

[Ramsay] Oh, f*ckin' hell.

'Cause that one's bluer.

Refiring, Chef.

-No, it's not ref... Christina.
-Yes, Chef.

-Jump on that.
-I got it, Chef.

You, you, you, you, you, you, you,
come up with two candidates

to get the f*ck out of here quickly.

-Yes, Chef.
-'Cause I am pissed.

-Get out!
-Yes, Chef.

It really sucks because
the girls and I started here,

and we had such a good start.

And I don't know how things
just started to, like, fall apart.

And Raneisha just dropped the ball
on the last two steaks.

[Raneisha] Are you f*cking kidding me, yo?

[Melissa] What the f*ck?

[sobbing, breathing shakily]

I know I'm going up. Just thought we'd
get that out of the way right now.

I already know that. I deserve it.

Who was f*ring the majority
of the proteins all night long?

[Jermaine] We had a talk at the beginning
and decided how we want to divvy it up.

He suggested that he will
sear off all of the proteins.

I will focus on the Wellingtons.

-All you did was Wellington?
-All I did was Wellington.

[Johnathan] At the end of the day,
Jermaine stood right next to Mattias

and watched him go down
like a sinking ship.

I'm sitting here trying to support him.

I'm telling this guy
to fix his f*cking apron.

I'm getting him a pot to put
his dirty f*cking oil in.

You should be on that
because that's your guys' station.

It's not just Mattias going down.

I had my own set of challenges.

But you also did
only have Wellingtons to do.

You only had one thing to do.

So you probably saw, what,
a maximum six Wellingtons all night?

Perhaps I could have had
more eyes on Mattias's food,

but let's put it like this.

I don't think I did anything wrong
that was mission critical.

I give a f*ck about committing to the job

that my leader and I decided
those are the jobs we were gonna do,

and those are the responsibilities
we were going to commit to.

And that is that on that,
with love and respect.

I think we should shelf this for a minute
'cause we're getting nowhere right now,

and just... We need to start moving on.

Chef Brad, how was your evening?

The beginning was fine.

After that, I felt useless.

I tried to hop in every time
someone was doing something.

I literally was like,
"Let me do something."

You were annoying me
because you asked me three times.

And I appreciate that,

but there was a lot going on in my mind
with times and all these tickets.

And I was just like,
"Please, get the f*ck away from me."

If you're telling me you feel useless,

and you're telling me
you only took care of Wellingtons,

then what the f*ck? Don't sit and ask.

If we see sh*t going on,
you see it, take care of it.

We all have these
blue f*cking chef coats on.

Nobody is perfect in service.

What we have to really look at
is what were the biggest mistakes

that were made because he's gonna ask why.

So we all need to address it
and be adults here.

What was the first mistake
that set you guys off?

It was one raw halibut,
and then a b*rned halibut.

So then Christina came on,
and she had to finish the fish.

I f*cked up today.
I own that, but I work hard,

and I refuse to go home
because of stupidity.

Claudia, that's your station too.
It shouldn't only be Donya going up.

It's a two-person station.
So I don't know why she was drowning,

and Claudia's floating around smiling.

I think Claudia deserves
to be nominated tonight

because she's kind of in la-la land.

She doesn't address Chef Ramsay
when he talks to her, which,

that to me, is just unacceptable.
I mean, I don't... I just don't get it.

I don't feel like I should go up.

We just want to ask
what happened because it was...

-Like, what happened on fish?
-Like Donya drowning on the fish station,

but there was two of you assigned,
so that's all we need to know.

Yes, she was on the halibut
and on the salmon,

and I was on the scallop
and on the lobster.

You did send up raw lobster.

I feel f*cking pissed off.

If I'm going home, like,
I deserve to be here.

There were more mistakes on fish station.
Like, we need to talk it out.

Hold on, put passion aside, emotion aside.

The communication clearly
was not f*cking there.

[Carmen] I was trying.
I felt like I tried to communicate.

Can I be real with you, Carmen?
It could have been more direct.

We could have had more times.

We could have said eight minutes
altogether, that's it.

And I f*ckin' blame Carmen.

Everything is everybody
else's fault except hers.

I feel like I did end up
calling the number.

I was like, "You guys good with seven?"

'Cause I had to tell you,
"Carmen, speak up."

[Carmen] Next time I'm not gonna check.
I'm just gonna call it. That's fine.

We don't need explanation.

So this is the thing.
We're giving elongated conversations

-for no reason.
-Right.

Put a name up, raise your hand. Let's go.

I do put you two up, only because
that's ultimately what got us kicked out.

Wait a minute.
You be speaking too fast for me.

-I don't like that sh*t talk.
-You asked for my vote.

-No, I didn't ask you for sh*t.
-I just admitted that I need...

I said everybody. But you literally
jump at the quick moment...

-You asked a question.
-...to pull a dagger.

You want me to wait and answer?
No, I'm gonna answer.

I'm looking at the bigger picture.

[Raneisha] Now you wanna
vote in the kitchen.

Which I said two minutes ago, catch up.

f*ck you don't,
'cause you voted real quick.

-Stop talking to me.
-I just said two minutes ago

-we all need to be adults.
-She's still talking to me.

And I've been processing this
for several minutes...

-You be on that fake sh*t.
-...since we walked in the door.

Girl, let me move away from you.

-sh*t.
-You fake as f*ck, bruh.

I don't feel like she deserves to be here

because it be too much
snake sh*t with her.

She's ready to dagger anybody
again to save herself.

And this is not even the time
to righteously be trying to save yourself

when you can't do sh*t right at all.

This is a job. Wake up.

-Wake... Girl, wake up.
-This is a job.

-Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
-Okay. Okay.

Because you're asking me,
who am I voting for...

Okay, okay, okay.

-Look. We're falling apart again.
-How many minutes?

-Stop, stop, stop.
-Exactly, but you're asking a question,

-and I'm answering, then you're pissed?
-We're getting nowhere, just like service.

We're getting f*cking nowhere.
Just shut the f*ck up.

All you guys, shut the f*ck up.

Tonight, you all took
a big step backwards.

Blue Team, have you reached a consensus?

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.

Good. Johnathan,
Blue Team's first nominee and why.

Mattias, Chef.

It just kind of snowballed
on the meat station,

and that's just where it all started.

Blue Team's second nominee and why.

Brad, Chef.

We all came together and we feel like
he had a chance to really help out more,

and he could have
done a lot more for the team.

Sandra, Red Team's first nominee and why.

Our first nomination, Chef, is Donya.

She was on fish station
and completely disintegrated.

Second nominee and why.

Our second nomination, Chef,

is Claudia.

She too was on fish station.

And given the fact
that Donya was going down,

we all felt that Claudia
should have helped out Donya.

Mattias, Brad, Claudia, Donya,
step forward.

Mattias, why should you stay
in Hell's Kitchen?

Chef, I'm a fighter.
I made my mistakes today.

And I'll own up to every
single one of them I made.

I know I can bounce back, and we will not
have this issue ever again, Chef.

Well, you've certainly had enough
f*cking mistakes to learn from.

Brad, the meat station
sunk the Blue Team tonight.

Yes, Chef.

Why did your team put you up here?

I was just too frantic,
and that just added

to the pandemonium
that was happening in the kitchen.

Claudia, why should you stay
in Hell's Kitchen?

I want to stay in this kitchen.

I'm gonna prove myself
to you and show that I have

what you're looking for,
and working harder every day

and show you that I'm able to do that.

Donya, are you the weakest
in the Red Team?

No, I'm not, Chef. I feel like
I am the strongest chef in that kitchen.

So who did you nominate as the weakest?

I honestly nominated Carmen.

And that's just communication.

It's too much guessing.
It's not enough leading.

My decision is...

Donya...

and Brad...

back in line.

[Brad exhales sharply]

The person leaving
Hell's Kitchen right now...

is...

Claudia.

Young lady, take off your jacket.
Your time is done.

I'm not feeling it,
and I haven't got the time

you need to get you up to speed.

-Understood?
-Understood, Chef.

-Good night.
-Thank you.

[Claudia] I'm upset that I'm out.
I'm the first to go from my team.

I just really wished I could be part
of Hell's Kitchen in Vegas.

That would have been really
one of my American dreams,

if not the ultimate American dream.

Mattias, back in line.

Yes, Chef. Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay]
Let me make something really clear.

I'm f*cking rooting for you to do well.

But you need to commit
your part in this journey.

-Is that clear?
-[chefs] Yes, Chef.

Now f*ck off.

I'm happy that I'm still here
in Hell's Kitchen,

but I know Chef Ramsay is looking at me,

and not for good reasons.

I've had to fight all my life,

and I intend to use that entire 29 years
of fight knowledge

because I'm damn sure
not ready to go home yet.

Head up, fellas.

I think I have a strong position
in Hell's Kitchen right now.

I think I have the drive and the passion.

Maybe some people are picking up on that,
and maybe they're threatened by it.

I don't know why my name is
getting thrown out so much.

But if you have the chance
to beg for your life,

and all you do is bring up my name,
then that says enough.

[Brad] Kind of like annoyed
that I was put up today.

Just didn't make any f*ckin' sense.

It's just weird seeing, like,
the true colors of people

because as the days go on,
their true colors come out.

[Ramsay] Claudia can speak four languages,

but cooking definitely isn't one of them.

[narrator] Next time on
Hell's Kitchen: The American Dream...

I thought all of you could
use a little cheering up.

[cheering]

[narrator] Will Chef Ramsay's attempt
to cheer the chefs up...

Hell's Kitchen, go!

[narrator] ...give them
a little too much pep?

-Whoo!
-You're going down, period!

[laughs]

Positive, hey!

Two, four, six, eight,
I may want to regurgitate.

-Oof.
-[narrator] And will one chef's ego...

This is stupid.

[narrator] ...be on full display
during the challenge...

-How'd you get them confit in 45 minutes?
-It's why I'm here.

[narrator] ...but come back to bite him
during dinner service?

When you're running
your own f*cking empire,

then you call the f*cking sh*ts.

You do it my way, or it's
the f*ckin' highway. Is that heard?

[narrator]
On the next hard-hitting episode...

It's f*cking raw.

And don't f*cking lie to me again.

[narrator] ...of Hell's Kitchen.
