NARRATOR: This season
Hell's Kitchen--
Yeah!
Game time!
NARRATOR: --was definitely
the most intense ever.
I'm f*cking ready!
NARRATOR: We witnessed fierce
battles between teammates.
You sent it out wrong!
It's about the team!
Would you just
shut the f*ck up
for a minute and f*cking relax?
Ba bom.
NARRATOR: From Van and Jim--
I'll punch you in your face.
NARRATOR: --to
Robert and Kevin--
- Go ahead!
- [inaudible] what I say to you.
NARRATOR: --to
Tennille and Suzanne.
If you sink our ship,
I'm going to be pissed.
Go f*ck yourself.
NARRATOR: But that was just
scratching the surface.
Wow!
NARRATOR: Even Sous Chef
Scott lost his cool.
You get that ready, got it?
NARRATOR: And the usually
unflappable Jean-Philippe--
Listen to me!
NARRATOR: --was ready to
represent Belgium in a fist
fight with a Texan named Van.
You better get out of my face.
I'm going to f*ck you up, bro.
Ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja.
NARRATOR: As for Chef
Ramsay, he was his usual--
[inaudible]
NARRATOR: --cuddly self
right from the start.
We'll have a little
bit of fun with you guys.
Raw!
NARRATOR: Throwing out Louie--
- Get out!
NARRATOR: --even before the
first dinner service was over.
He can kiss my ass!
NARRATOR: Things got so out of
control in one dinner service--
We haven't sent an entree out!
No one's got my back here!
NARRATOR: --that Chef
Ramsay left in the middle--
I've had enough!
NARRATOR: --something he
has never done before.
We're screwed!
NARRATOR: Chef
Ramsay was determined
to find the right
person for this season's
career-changing opportunity.
- Hey, look.
There you go.
That's the Araxi Restaurant
in Whistler, yes?
f*ck off, will you?
NARRATOR: He pushed the chefs
harder than ever before.
Raw!
Not good enough!
NARRATOR: But in line with
this season of intensity.
Push it! push it!
Push it!
NARRATOR: The chefs pushed back.
You're upset now
'cause you're crap!
You're crap!
Fiesty Tennille came close
to going over the line.
- You don't know sh*t!
- Shut up!
You can dish it,
but you can't take it?
Shut your fat mouth!
[inaudible] in the kitchen.
Are you going to keep it shut?
Shut.
Get back in there.
NARRATOR: But she not
only managed to survive,
she made an amazing comeback.
That's the best I've ever
seen anybody cook meat.
NARRATOR: And was the most
improved chef of the season.
The comeback king!
NARRATOR: But there was one
chef who not only b*rned
a bridge with Chef Ramsay--
I'm not no bitch.
NARRATOR: --he blew it up.
Let's go step
outside, mother fucker.
Oh, wow.
Do you think I'm scared?
You ain't nothing but a bitch.
NARRATOR: Joseph wasn't in
Hell's Kitchen very long.
You've got no respect.
Now get out.
- f*ck you.
NARRATOR: He will
be remembered--
f*ck all y'all.
NARRATOR: --but
not in a good way.
I'll break his f*cking face.
GORDON RAMSAY: What an idiot.
[ambulance sirens]
NARRATOR: This season was also
marred by a number of injuries.
I need a medic!
NARRATOR: Ironically,
our two finalists were
both injured on the same day.
Ahhh!
NARRATOR: Early on
in the competition--
I broke my wrist.
I am in so much pain right now.
I go to go upstairs--
[yelling]
I knew something bad
just happened to me.
NARRATOR: Although Kevin's
ankles gradually improved,
Dave's wrist got worse.
I just felt my
whole body twist.
I don't think I can continue on.
NARRATOR: And he almost
left the competition,
not once but three times.
I can take the pain.
This hand is fine.
Fine.
I'm fine.
It's not going to stop me.
I'm here to stay.
I'm OK.
NARRATOR: Tonight, these
two courageous chefs
will go head to head.
I'm going to take
this thing all the way.
Dave, you ain't
got a chance, buddy.
Come on.
NARRATOR: Who will become the
head chef at Araxi Restaurant
and Bar in Whistler,
British Columbia-- home
of the Winter Olympics.
May the best chef win.
NARRATOR: Will it be Dave,
the one-armed bandit--
Yeah, boy!
NARRATOR: --and executive
chef from San Diego?
I'm dangerous in this game.
NARRATOR: Or will it be Kevin--
This is like the biggest
dinner service of my life!
NARRATOR: --the
family man and Country
Club chef from Connecticut?
I am going to win this thing.
NARRATOR: One thing's for
sure-- both are determined.
This is for the guys at
Araxi g*dd*mn Restaurant.
Come on!
GORDON RAMSAY: Oh, my God.
Don't let me down.
You guys can do this!
NARRATOR: They will
do whatever it takes--
I've got to push
these sons of b*tches.
NARRATOR: --to be the winner
in the most intense season
in Hell's Kitchen history.
One, two, three.
NARRATOR: Find out who
wins Hell's Kitchen--
No way.
NARRATOR: --right now.
I'm totally in
a state of shock.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: And now the
conclusion of Hell's Kitchen.
GORDON RAMSAY: Seriously,
Surgery well done.
You so deserve to
be in the final.
Now, you know damn well
you still have the biggest
challenge in front of you.
The person who
performs the best will
become the next head chef of
the Araxi Restaurant and Bar.
Being in the final two
is just mind blowing.
I mean, this ranks up there on
an insane parts of Dave's life.
In the next service, you'll
each design your own menu.
Dave, covers here.
Kevin, covers there.
- Yes, Chef.
- This is it.
This is for all the marbles--
my menu, my design,
my execution.
This is why I came here for.
Now, there's one more thing.
Go and get changed
because there's
a limo waiting for both you.
Oh, no.
You're doing it.
Let's go.
Damn, I didn't
see that coming.
The night is not over yet.
Oh, my God.
I could definitely use
a little more rest.
Hurry up, dude.
- Ready?
And then we can go.
But other than that,
I'm ready to go.
Where are we going, Kev?
I don't know.
We'll find out.
Me and Dave walk
out, and, you know,
there's a nice limo waiting.
And we're off and running.
Where?
I have no idea.
[music playing]
KEVIN: We show up at a hotel,
and JP is there waiting for us.
Where are we headed, JP?
Where are you heading?
You are heading to the
roof because Chef Ramsay
is waiting for you up there.
- Oh, he is?
- Yes.
And I'm thinking,
what's coming my way?
Wow.
Pretty amazing.
Oh, yeah.
I can't wait to see.
[music playing]
It seems like it's
serious business,
but serious business doesn't
always translate into good news
in Hell's Kitchen.
Guys, this way,
this way, this way.
Chef Ramsay's
like all excited.
Good to see you guys, yes?
Yeah.
I mean, right now,
my head is spinning.
Come with me.
Now, listen to me 'cause
your final challenge
in Hell's Kitchen
starts right down there.
DAVE: Oh, my God!
[applause]
[music playing]
I see all those people
screaming, and I'm amped up.
Right now, you need to make
a dish worthy of the Araxi
Restaurant and Bar.
Your judges are
waiting down there.
You've got minutes to
make your dish starting now.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: After a quick change
into their chef's jackets,
the two finalists
have minutes
to create dishes worthy of
Araxi for Hell's Kitchen's
final challenge.
[inaudible]
NARRATOR: For his dish,
Kevin is preparing
a petite clambake with poached
lobster and corn pudding.
[cheering]
NARRATOR: Dave is
cooking a rack of venison
with a sour cream and
chive parsnip puree.
Just over half an
hour to go, yeah?
Yes, Chef.
I felt like I was kind of
putting my ass on the line
going with venison
just because, like,
everybody loves lobster tail.
[cheering]
Last o minutes, yes?
Yes, Chef.
Right now, I'm
looking at Dave,
and it looks like he's got
a very easy dish to execute.
And I've got all kinds of
different components going.
So, I mean, you talk about two
completely opposite chefs--
that's me and Dave.
Last three minutes, guys.
[music playing]
Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.
And stop.
OK, let's go.
NARRATOR: The
cooking is complete.
And it's now time for the
finalists to go head to head.
Ladies and gentlemen, our
finalists, Kevin and Dave!
[applause]
NARRATOR: Five highly
regarded judges
will be tasting their dishes.
So either Kevin or Dave
will need three votes
to win the challenge.
- Now, are you ready?
- Absolutely.
Yes, Chef.
OK, ladies and gentleman,
time to meet our first judge.
This man is the
editor-in-chief and publisher
of the award-winning
Gayot guide books.
Welcome, Alain Gayot.
[applause]
So the first judge steps up.
He's a highly
recognized food critic.
And, you know, I'm definitely
feeling the pressure.
GORDON RAMSAY: Dave,
explain first please.
OK, what we have here
is a rack of venison.
And then it's resting
upon a parsnip
and sour cream and chive puree.
[music playing]
Very good, very good.
I would be very happy with
this dish in the restaurant.
GORDON RAMSAY: Excellent.
Good.
Thank you very much.
[applause]
Kevin, [inaudible].
I did a vanilla
butter-poached lobster,
and I made a corn pudding.
We also have a little bit
of a potato, which I just
poached in the butter with the
Beurre Blanc and then a clam
as well.
[music playing]
Beautiful
presentation, very fresh.
I would vote for Dave's
dish this evening.
GORDON RAMSAY: Dave's dish?
Excellent.
[applause]
Yeah, boy!
OK, our second judge is one
of Canada's foremost gourmets
on food.
For years, he
was the food editor
of the Vancouver Magazine.
Please welcome Jamie Maw.
[applause]
So really good to
see you, as always.
That's the loin of venison.
Nicely cooked.
Well flavored.
Lovely spring dish, I think.
If you were to choose
one of those dishes,
which one would it be?
I'm going to go
with the venison.
Venison.
Excellent.
[applause]
Kevin's in a big
hole right now.
Kevin's down two to
nothing and wondering
what the hell is going on here.
Two-nothing for Dave.
Dave has taken an early lead
with a score of two to zero.
He only needs one more vote to
win this, the final challenge.
Now for a third.
The editor-in-chief of the
award-winning Epicurious,
Tanya Steel.
[applause]
Good to see you.
Welcome, my darling.
So I'm going to start
by going into the venison.
[music playing]
Mmm.
Wow, that venison is
so beautifully cooked.
GORDON RAMSAY: Kevin's lobster.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful-- the
butter and the vanilla
really come through
in this lobster.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK, it's down
to this one-- the deciding one.
I have to say, I am
so impressed, guys.
Come on, Tanya.
You know you want
to pick the venison.
I'm going to have to say,
that Kevin gets the gold medal.
[applause]
All right.
I'm on the board.
Here we go.
- Two for Dave, one for Kevin.
Kevin still has plenty of
time to make a comeback.
I could be screwed here.
OK, ladies and
gentlemen, next up--
the executive chef
of West Restaurant
in Vancouver, British Columbia--
welcome Warren Geraghty.
[applause]
GORDON RAMSAY: Good to see you.
Good to see you.
I think I'll go with
the lobster first.
[music playing]
That's delicious.
[applause]
That's on the nail
for the venison.
I think they're
both great dishes.
I'm really-- I'm going to
give my vote to the lobster.
GORDON RAMSAY: The lobster.
No.
KEVIN: All right, here we go.
Let's do this.
This is it.
All right, ladies and
gentleman, that's two for Kevin
and two for Dave!
We're all tied up!
Our next judge is the restaurant
columnist and the contributing
editor for Gourmet Magazine.
Please welcome Colman Andrews.
Thank you, sir.
[applause]
Good to see you.
Thank you so much for coming.
Kevin's lobster.
[applause]
Come on, come on, like,
please say something good.
This is really, really tough.
I--
[cheering]
[music playing]
I have to go with Dave.
[cheering]
The winner of the
challenge is Dave!
[cheering]
Very close between you two.
Well done.
I can't believe I f*cking won.
I'm super stoked.
NARRATOR: Dave has
won tonight's battle.
But back in Hell's Kitchen, the
stage is being set for the w*r.
While the crew works through the
night to repair the restaurant,
Dave and Kevin get their
last chance for rest
before the dinner service
that could change their lives.
[music playing]
It's the dawn of the final
day in Hell's Kitchen.
This is the last day.
It's just nuts.
It's nerve wracking.
NARRATOR: And Kevin and
Dave must design their menus
for what will be
the most important
dinner service of their lives.
KEVIN: This is monumental.
It's all or nothing.
I mean, I've got lots
of ideas flowing,
and I'm going for broke.
The final service of
Hell's Kitchen tonight.
I don't want to have
a pretentious menu.
I don't want to have
a complicated menu.
Simple cooking is best.
Ready to rock and roll?
I'm ready to rock.
NARRATOR: With their
menus finalized,
Dave and Kevin head
into the kitchen.
- Congratulations!
- Thank you.
Thank you very much.
NARRATOR: Kevin will
be working with Heather
in the red kitchen--
- How are you?
Very good.
NARRATOR: --while
Dave will be working
with Scott in the blue kitchen.
Gentleman, Gentleman,
good morning.
Good morning, Chef.
- Good to see you.
- Hi Chef.
- How are you feeling?
- Good.
- Great.
- Very good.
Good.
A lot of work today.
Scott, any special deliveries?
Are they here yet?
- Yeah, Chef.
They're right out front.
OK, let's get this
stuff out please.
DAVE: I'm super
stoked at this point.
We're getting down to
business right now.
Got a lot of work to do.
GORDON RAMSAY: They're
special ingredients
that I brought in, yes?
Make sure you're happy with it.
Don't sign for it until
see what the hell we got.
Let's go.
We heard y'all need
some help up in here.
[chatter]
Son of a bitch!
Hey, what's up?
I said they're your
key ingredients, yes?
I didn't see Biggins on there.
[laughter]
Now help my big ass
off this truck now.
I just scanned the
faces in the truck,
and immediately, I started
thinking in my mind, who
do I want to work on my team?
First of all, thank
you all for coming back.
The future of Dave and Kevin's
career is now in your hands.
Yes?
So Dave, obviously,
congratulations on winning
the challenge last night.
Thank you, Chef.
So as that reward,
you get picked first.
My first selection is Ariel.
GORDON RAMSAY: Excellent.
I know I want Ariel.
She was in the final three.
Well done.
Seriously, well done.
Thank you.
Thank you, Chef.
She knows what she's doing.
And she's going to
[inaudible] it out.
OK, Kevin your first pick.
The guy I've known the
best and the longest,
my old roommate, Van.
GORDON RAMSAY: Van.
I'm back.
Back!
The last time the
stress got to me.
No, it's [inaudible].
Don't f*cking treat
me no little bitch!
Now I got to come in here
and redeem myself tonight,
you know.
All right, Dave.
Selection number two.
Selection number
two is Robert.
GORDON RAMSAY: Robert.
Rob had a hard time
in Hell's Kitchen.
I'm short of breath.
I feel dizzy too.
Is that the best you can do?
Hell no, it's not the best--
Well, give me
the f*cking best!
I am, Chef!
But I have
confidence in Robert.
He's a great chef.
OK, Kevin, selection
number two, who is it?
My next selection is--
my menu is fish heavy--
so Amanda's a fish girl.
Yay!
Yes!
I have not worked with Amanda
in Hell's Kitchen before.
Three times three is what?
AMANDA: Six, Chef.
Six?
Nine, Chef, nine!
I'm sorry.
I'm not w--
KEVIN: She's had
problems, but I know
that Amanda was strong on fish.
Amanda, that fish
is cooked perfectly.
Thank you, Chef.
OK, two people left.
I really expected
to be picked last.
I'm not super friends
with anybody here.
[music playing]
Suzanne, for sure.
Right on.
I know everyone hated Suzanne.
I really don't believe
that I was trying to throw
you guys under the bus.
It's not about that!
It's about the f*cking team!
DAVE: But personally, I
think she's a strong chef.
We won a competition together.
The winning duo
is Dave and Suzanne.
Thank you, Chef.
And I feel confident
having her on my team.
Here we go, man.
Sabrina, come and join Kevin.
With Sabrina, there's
been some highs.
Sabrina, well done--
clearly, the best of the worst.
There's been some lows.
f*ck off upstairs!
Get out!
However, I'd rather
have Sabrina on my team
than Suzanne.
Excellent.
Kevin, Dave, take a good
look at your teams, yes,
because they are either
going to take you all the way
or console you.
Now, take your teams back to
the dorms and get changed.
Then give them an
inside to the menu.
NARRATOR: After a quick change,
the chefs head downstairs
to begin their final prep.
Start setting that station up.
You've got to get those
tomatoes diced up.
What's the diced tomatoes for?
NARRATOR: With the
clock counting down,
Kevin's team strives to
master his elaborate menu.
- Kevin.
- Kevin.
Kevin, you want these cu--
Hold on, one second.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
in Dave's kitchen,
the team has picked up
his classic menu quickly.
Questions anybody?
We're fine, Dave.
We're fine.
Dave did a pretty smart
move keeping it simple.
But I look over
at my man, Kevin--
I'm going to pour a little
bit of this sauce over it.
Gorgeous.
Every one of his plates
could be on the cover
of Gourmet Magazine.
KEVIN: Look at that--
money.
I don't even care what it is.
I just want to eat it.
If they taste as
good as they look,
we're in a lot of trouble.
All right, Kevin?
Yes, Chef.
Let's go, big man.
NARRATOR: The
finalists' menus consist
of three appetizers, three
entrees, and three desserts.
Kevin's menu
features an appetizer
of caramelized
scallops, an entree
of coffee cured beef
tenderloin, and a trio
of creme brulee for dessert.
Aesthetically,
food looks brilliant.
But there's a lot
to execute there.
Just, you know, tighten up, OK?
Well done.
Thank you, Thank you, Chef.
Very well done.
All right, Dave, let's go.
NARRATOR: Dave's menu features
a wild mushroom risotto
appetizer, a roasted
loin of venison entree,
and a dark chocolate
mousse stack dessert.
It's simple.
It's plain.
It's pedestrian.
But you're in the
final Hell's Kitchen.
You've got to explode.
- You got it, Chef.
- OK?
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
DAVE: You got it.
All right, tonight's menus--
Kevin's menu is very
artistic, very beautiful.
But my big worry right now is
that I think Kevin's food is
a little bit too complicated.
He's got to watch his
attention to detail.
Now, Dave may have a
very simple approach
to his cooking-- very
humble, very rustic--
but he can't afford
to be sloppy.
Tonight, it's all
down to the execution.
That's what's going
to call the winner.
NARRATOR: Hell's Kitchen is
moments away from opening.
But Chef Ramsay--
All right, Dave, Kevin,
two seconds, please.
NARRATOR: --has some
unfinished business.
All right, There's something
that's been bothering me.
Oh, this is not good.
There's something
not quite right.
You both are running
your kitchen tonight.
So if you're going to
act like a head chef,
you have to look the part.
But now you will.
Thank you, Chef.
That's great.
Now, get upstairs, get
changed, and come down.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Put those jackets on.
Chef, you're the man!
Here we go!
It feels insane to have
the executive chef coat on.
Big time, brother!
- It is dude.
We started with
people in this house.
And now it's down to two of us.
And I'm going to take
this thing all the way.
I'm focused.
I'm ready.
I'm going to win
Hell's Kitchen tonight.
I am going to win this thing.
OK, Jean-Philippe, for
the last time this year,
open Hell's Kitchen.
Let's go.
You're good to go.
Showtime!
Showtime!
Let's go!
The one-armed bandit's
going down tonight.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Tonight,
Kevin in the red kitchen
will go head to head with
Dave in the blue kitchen.
Each kitchen will serve
tables with diners.
In attendance are top chefs
from British Columbia,
including Chef Walt of
Araxi Restaurant and Bar--
Wow, it's good to see there's
BC stuff there, for sure.
NARRATOR: --who will be Kevin
or Dave's future employer.
I think I'm decided.
I'm going to go
with the corn as well.
Thank you.
All right, here we go.
You guys ready?
Pay attention.
This is like the biggest
dinner service of my life.
Table -- two covers,
one scallop, one risotto,
one lobster, one beef.
My team has to come
through big time right now.
Hello?
Yes, Chef!
Thank you!
OK, guys.
Order in.
One risotto, one prawn on
order, venison and a salmon.
Yes, Chef.
Salmon heard.
I've got so much
heart and soul
that I've put into this menu.
Good job, guys.
I like that call back.
It's time to show
everybody what I've got.
Everybody's a chef
in this kitchen.
NARRATOR: The first tickets
are in to both kitchens.
Now Kevin is looking
to Amanda on scallops
and Van on hot appetizers
to deliver perfect starters.
Guys, what's going on now?
- Coming now, right now.
- Thank you.
Get a little vocal, Amanda.
Yes, Chef.
Kevin makes me nervous.
And I want it to
be perfect for him.
- Come on, Amanda.
- Yes.
I'm really relying
on you tonight.
You ready?
- I'm ready.
Let's go to the window.
Scallops.
Amanda-- the scallops
are not done yet.
Son of a bitch, man.
Come on, Amanda!
You've got to give me
some heat on these, OK?
First thing she gives
me, it's not right.
See that table there,
watching your food?
Got to get it tighter.
Let's go.
Come on, Amanda, please!
- I'm trying, Chef.
- Let's go.
Don't try, just do.
I'm doing it.
I do not think it's my fault.
Come on, guys.
Let's go!
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: While Kevin's kitchen
is stalled on its first order,
Dave is relying on
Robert on appetizers
to get his service
off to a good start.
How far out on a risotto?
Two, two and a half.
I would love to put out
the first appetizer ticket.
Yes, sir.
This is my last night
in Hell's Kitchen.
I'm bring the f*cking
pain, you know?
Another seconds.
OK.
I'm going to give him the
Robert that everybody loves.
The moving, the
shaking, the fast feet.
No matter what the ticket
was, I'm going to bang it out.
Thank you, Robert.
All right, boss.
ROBERT: You happy with it?
Robert, you are
my ace in the hole.
We've got risottos
coming in like crazy.
All right, brother.
NARRATOR: Dave's classic
menu is paying off.
Table seven.
NARRATOR: And appetizers are
flying out of the kitchen.
Table ten.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
Kevin hasn't
gotten a single order out.
And the kitchen is still
at a standstill waiting
on Amanda's scallops.
Scallops, please, Amanda.
Cook!
How long?
- Give me two minutes.
- Please, Amanda--
- Yes, Chef.
- Look at me.
- Here, yes, Chef.
- Concentrate.
Yes, Chef.
Amanda's scallops
are sinking us,
and we're headed
to the pooper fast.
How long?
- Right now.
- Right now?
Are they ready?
AMANDA: No.
What is she doing over there?
I mean, how cooked
do you want them?
I want a scallop cooked.
That's burnt up.
These are like rocks.
They're overcooked.
They're rubber.
My God!
This isn't happening right now.
GORDON RAMSEY: She
struggling there.
Don't be scared to change her.
Come on.
Don't be scared, yeah?
God damn it, Amanda.
I know.
My life on the line here,
and it's like she doesn't care.
Amanda, you're sinking me.
I know, Chef.
I'm sorry.
The first ticket's f*cked up.
Kevin, it's your f*cking
career on the line.
Don't f*cking sink it
before it's too late.
We're in it now, guys.
We're in it.
I need someone to give me
some g*dd*mn appetizers!
You're k*lling me!
Chef Ramsay's
looking for a leader.
He's looking for someone
to step up to the mark
and run a kitchen.
That's what tonight's about.
Van, go over with Amanda
and switch stations.
Amanda, you're going to
have to do starters, OK?
You're k*lling me.
Right now, Kevin has a
huge nightmare on his hands
because Amanda's sunk.
She's completely lost
any form of focus.
And now he just kicked
her off the section
and got Van to
cook the scallops.
Yeah, working hard, Chef.
How long?
How long on risotto?
One minute.
Come on.
Coming in.
- One risotto, Chef.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[inaudible] Thank you.
NARRATOR: Kevin's
decision has paid off.
And thanks to Van's scallops,
the first appetizers are
finally leaving the kitchen.
This is good.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, over
in the blue kitchen--
I'm looking for two
risotto and a prawn any time.
Two risotto and a
prawn, working hard, Chef.
NARRATOR: Dave has almost
completed his appetizers.
Make sure there's
lots of mushrooms in it.
Then we go on the entrees.
That's all we got
left for mushrooms.
Go easier on them,
but be careful.
Make sure it's right.
Come on, guys.
You're moving so fast.
Risotto.
Thank you.
That's gotten a lot lighter.
ROBERT: Yeah.
Why has that changed color?
I can't see any
mushrooms in there
except for a few
sprouty mushrooms.
That's not the same
risotto that you
were sending half an hour ago.
We're sending a
completely different dish.
I know, but we're
down on mushrooms.
He told me to put less in there.
I said, just don't go
crazy with the mushrooms.
He didn't use a
little less mushrooms.
He went to using
almost no mushrooms.
Give me one risotto with
more mushrooms in it.
Chef, I didn't even
get to seeing that yet.
I would not have sent that out.
Dave was just covering his
m*therf*cking monkey ass.
He looked like Nixon.
"I'm not a crook."
DAVE: Robert, I'm not
f-ing around right now.
Everything has to be perfect.
He's f*cking working me.
You done crossed
the line, my friend.
So now, I must f*ck with you.
And I love stirring up sh*t.
Just give me it.
Just give me it.
It's cold, bro.
f*ck, come on, Robert.
Oops, you dropped it,
looking like a horse's ass.
That's your problem.
NARRATOR: Despite a slip
up by Robert on appetizers,
Dave still has the lead on
Kevin in appetizer delivery.
Got to table ten.
And the diners on
Dave's side are satisfied.
It's good.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, the
diners on Kevin's side--
I feel like I'm--
I'm like crunching on risotto.
NARRATOR: --aren't
feeling quite the same.
I just can't--
No problem.
Oh, no.
What's the matter?
Kevin, please.
The rice is not
cooked properly.
It's hard.
It's crunchy.
Boom!
It's like a line drive
square to the f*cking nose.
Boom!
It's undercooked.
First, Amanda f*cked
up the scallops.
Then Amanda started
messing up the risotto.
And I was like, oh, sh*t no.
Van, I need you to
just come in here
and get her f*cking
organized, OK?
Thank you.
Make sure she knows
what's going on.
Kevin's really high
strung right now.
Van, you got two
risottos coming my way?
But I got Kevin's back.
Yes, Chef.
Two risottos, [inaudible],,
two scallops coming right now.
Come on, ladies.
Let's do it.
Move fast.
Look at this line, Van.
I'm pushing Van so g*dd*mn
hard because I have to.
I got no choice.
Three scallops, three
[inaudible],, and two risotto.
[interposing voices]
Two minutes.
One minute!
Oh, Lord!
I'm starting to get flashbacks.
- Van!
Van!
Listen!
Garnish to the window!
Coming to the pass.
Van, too [inaudible].
Working hard, Chef!
Coming in, be high.
That's hot, OK?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Service!
With Van coming
to Kevin's rescue,
appetizers are now streaming
out of the red kitchen.
In the blue kitchen--
Keep it rolling, guys.
NARRATOR: --Dave is already
pushing out entrees.
- Don't lose your momentum.
- Here you go.
Venison, salmon, garnish.
Thank you.
Now I'm just waiting for
a venison and a salmon up.
Right here,
coming to the pass.
This is no good.
It's f*cking well done.
It's garbage.
That's not f*cking medium.
I can't serve this as medium.
You'll have to give
me another one.
I completely overcooked it.
I have no excuse.
The menu is as
basic as it can get.
Come on, guys!
I don't care how long it takes.
I'm not going to
send some sh*t stuff
out just to get it done faster.
[inaudible].
Thank you, Chef.
It all to be perfect.
Ariel, how am I
doing on two venison?
I'm carving right now.
Come on, guys.
Behind you, hot.
Really hot.
Really nicely cooked venison.
Thank you.
NARRATOR: With Ariel's venison
meeting Dave's standards,
food once again leaves
the blue kitchen.
All right, venison
and two chicken.
NARRATOR: An hour and
minutes into the final dinner
service, diners are enjoying
entrees from Dave's kitchen--
It's really good.
NARRATOR: --and Kevin's.
Tonight, every good
review counts--
some a little more than other.
There's the Araxi ticket.
Guys.
Yes, Chef.
This tenderloin is
for the Araxi chef, OK?
Don't f*cking ruin it.
I need to show that
I know how to cook
and I know what's going on.
So I've got to put
my helmet on, bear
down, and just push the sons
of b*tches through the pile.
Where's that medium rare beef?
Let's go!
Medium well or medium rare?
Listen, listen, listen.
Medium well.
No, no, no.
Medium rare.
He kept calling out
different temperatures.
I don't know what he wants.
Come on, man.
Get it together.
I know.
Garnish coming up for a beef?
Let's go right now.
Come on.
One beef, one lobster.
Garnish to the pass.
That beef is med well.
I told you medium rare.
Damn it, Amanda.
What?
This is for the guys at
Araxi g*dd*mn Restaurant.
And you cooked that med well.
Amanda is really making a mess
of what's going on right now.
She's just too slow to keep up.
Look at this.
This thing's broke in two.
It's like, calm
down a little bit.
I need a medium rare beef.
I need one lobster right
there with a potato
that's not broken.
- Got it, Chef.
Fire up a little bit!
KEVIN: Come on!
Let's go!
KEVIN: Let's go!
Come on, guys.
We can do it.
Can I have those please?
The garnish?
A minute and a half.
Can I get the
beef with the sauce?
Almost there.
Can you just
give me something?
Listen.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Calm down.
At that moment, when I was about
to lose it, I caught myself.
And then I was just like, I'm
not going to yell anymore.
We're going to do
this, and we're
going to do this together.
Let's go.
With tongs, you'll
break the potatoes
because they're delicate, OK?
Van, you know you have
one med well, right?
Yeah, it's going to be ready.
If Sabrina needs help,
help her push the salad.
Keep rolling.
Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, guys.
- Come on, guys.
We can do it.
Kevin starts calming down,
and everybody starts clicking.
And it just started
running a lot smoother.
Amanda, can I have that beef?
Yeah.
Beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful.
All right.
NARRATOR: Kevin has proven
he can be a strong leader.
Thank you.
NARRATOR: And Amanda's
fillet makes it
out to a very important diner.
Now diners on both sides
are enjoying their entrees.
Oh, that's nice.
Dave!
Dave!
You've got four tables left.
Kevin, you've got
six tables left.
Come on!
Speed up!
Let's go!
Can I pick up
two tables at once?
We've got to catch up.
Yes, Chef.
All right, Kevin's
very clever f*ring
two tables at the same
time now to pick up speed
and hopefully catch Dave back.
We've got to do
a massive push.
NARRATOR: Kevin's
kitchen has clearly
gotten it together while
Dave's kitchen is starting to--
How's this meat
being cooked now?
It's gone pale and gray.
NARRATOR: --slip.
I'm not f*cking
impressed with that.
All right, I'll start
f*ring new venison.
We're having trouble with these.
- It's not trouble.
It's just lazy cooking.
Yeah, but I didn't--
Just listen to me two seconds.
It's you now, not f*cking them.
It's you.
I know your friends,
and that's sh*t cooking.
Chef--
- What's the matter?
- Raw salmon.
sh*t!
Ariel, salmon raw!
Robert, you head
over and help Ariel.
Don't let me down.
You guys can do this!
Put it in the convection
oven another two minutes.
Come on, guys.
NARRATOR: While Dave
tries to regroup
his kitchen for a
strong finish, Kevin
is on track to do the same.
Come on, guys.
Van, you know it's
picked up over there?
Three beef, three
tuna, one lobster!
KEVIN: Thank you!
Bring it up!
Bring it up!
Let's go!
Let's go!
- Kevin, last four tables.
Dave, last four tables.
Right now, it's neck and neck.
Let's go!
Come on, man!
- Come on, guys.
We're so close.
- Is the salmon ready?
I've got them, baby.
Garnish, going now, Ariel.
Ready, Chef.
- Thank you.
Come on, guys.
Come on.
You got a lobster coming?
Yes, Chef.
Right here.
Come on, come on, come on!
Kevin, Dave, you
have one table to go.
It's neck and neck.
DAVE: Push it, guys.
You just started great.
You're going to finish great.
I have a tuna, a
beef, and a lobster.
AMANDA: Yes, Chef.
You guys ready?
Let's go.
Try and push it, guys.
I appreciate your hard work.
Right here.
Hot, Chef.
- Thank you.
Guys, this is it.
This is it!
Right here,
coming to the pass.
And that's it!
Thank you, guys.
We got this!
I'm so proud to have
worked with you tonight.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, guys.
We started off rough.
But we f*cking came and
kicked ass at the end.
We finished strong.
Bang!
Bang!
Tonight, it was like
a hell of a battle.
And I was on top
for a long time.
And no matter what the
outcome is, you know,
I'm going to hold my head high.
Bang.
I'm already started to
feel the intense pressure
and anxiety.
I mean, my wife giving birth
to my son was stressful.
This is right up there, man.
My head feels like it's
going to pop right now.
[music playing]
I have this sinking feeling
that I just didn't quite have
the same performance Kevin had.
It's really hard just
waiting and wondering.
It's like k*lling me.
NARRATOR: Tonight's
winner will be determined
by the customer
comment cards and Chef
Ramsay's overall observations.
The scallops are b*rned.
They're overcooked.
They're rubber.
It's your f*cking
career on the line.
Don't f*cking sink it
before it's too late.
Van!
Yes.
Go over with Amanda,
switch stations.
Amanda, you're going
to have to do starters.
Just listen to me two seconds.
It's you now, not f*cking them.
It's you,
I know your friends,
and that's sh*t cooking.
This is no good.
It's garbage.
I can't serve this as medium.
You'll have to give
me another one.
[phone ringing]
- Oh, boy.
- Hello?
GORDON RAMSAY (ON PHONE):
Head up to the office
please straight away.
DAVE: Yes, Chef.
All right, the
moment of truth.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
DAVE: It's time.
This is it, man.
This is the moment
I came here for.
We're about to find
out our future here.
I'm praying.
Please, Chef Ramsay, pick me.
I want to be the
next chef at Araxi.
I can do the job, and
I can do it great.
All right, Kevin, Dave,
this is the moment you've
both been waiting for, right?
Absolutely.
Yes, Chef.
One of you is about to realize
your dream of a lifetime.
Personally, I am so proud.
You guys have done so well.
And more importantly, reading
through the comment cards
and looking at the feedback
from the customers,
this has been the closest
final ever of Hell's Kitchen.
In my eyes, you're both winners.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Now, after much thought and
a lot of careful studying,
I've reached a decision.
I want you both now to step
up to your doors please.
This is a big moment.
This is a big
life-changing moment.
Good luck, man.
My heart is jumping
out of my chest.
I'm freaking out on the inside.
[music playing]
The chef who's door opens
will become the winner of Hell's
Kitchen and will be the head
chef at Araxi Restaurant
and Bar in Whistler,
British Columbia.
Kevin and Dave, place
your hand on the handle.
[music playing]
Kevin, Dave, are you ready?
I am ready.
I'm ready, Chef.
On the count of
three, turn the handle.
One, two, three.
[applause]
[music playing]
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I won.
And it's a dream come true.
I'm totally in a state of shock.
[music playing]
I can't believe it.
Kevin, well done.
There was a moment of
defeat, and defeat tastes bad.
But I took a deep breath,
put my head back up,
and the first thing I
thought about is, I'm
going to show my kid it's OK.
Never stop dreaming.
Hold your head up high and
know that you did your best.
[applause]
I've been in so much
pain for so many weeks.
And I had to fight so hard
to stay in the competition.
But I wouldn't change any of it.
This is the most important
thing that's ever happened to me
in my life, and I'm
just so grateful to have
earned Chef Ramsay's respect.
Well done.
That means more to
me than anything else.
Hey, one-armed bandit!
Dave has a very natural
ability and a very
sophisticated palate.
He fought through
excruciating pain
and excelled and went on
to win Hell's Kitchen.
Welcome to the club, brother!
GORDON RAMSAY: He's going to be
an amazing asset to the Araxi
Restaurant and Bar in
Whistler, and I'd like
to wish him the best of luck.
Honestly, I don't
think he'll need it.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
winner of Hell's Kitchen--
Dave!
[applause]
[music playing]
[glass breaking]
Oops.
I'm nobody's bitch.
I'm nobody's bitch.
I'm nobody's bitch.
Listen to me now.
You ain't nobody's bitch.
