[music playing]
NARRATOR: Previously
on "Hell's Kitchen--"
That's it, baby.
Come on.
[applause]
NARRATOR: After the
biggest turnout ever,
conference chefs
were selected.
Yes, sir!
I will dwarf everyone--
me, this god of cooking.
NARRATOR: And in what
was clearly the best
signature dish tasting ever--
GORDON RAMSAY: Whose is this?
- That's mine.
NARRATOR: --Chef Ramsay
was optimistic going
into dinner service.
In terms of flavor, spot on.
That was delicious.
- Thank you, chef.
- Cooked perfectly.
Thank you, chef.
NARRATOR: But even
before the doors opened--
I don't see a
strainer anywhere.
NARRATOR: --the chefs
turned on each other
when Giovanni att*cked Seth.
Seth, man, you got to
listen a little better.
Seth's useless.
NARRATOR: And Coi bottled Lacey.
Don't say a f*ckin' thing.
This station is f*cked up.
Now why don't you tell
him how you threatened me?
NARRATOR: At dinner service,
Chef Ramsay's optimism
quickly faded.
Oh my god.
NARRATOR: In the red kitchen--
What's that in there?
COLLEEN: Mascarpone.
NARRATOR: --Colleen was
confused on appetizers.
We don't put mascarpone
in the spaghetti of lobster!
NARRATOR: And in
the blue kitchen--
- What are you doing, Will?
- I don't know.
GORDON RAMSAY: --Will was
lost on the garnish station.
Will's on f*cking
Planet Coo-coo.
NARRATOR: With both
kitchens sinking,
the pressure shifted
to each team's waiters.
- Giovanni, do you remember?
- No.
NARRATOR: Carol made
her customers happy.
- I'm going to leave the bottle.
- OK,
Thank you.
[laughter]
NARRATOR: Giovanni
failed miserably.
% of your customers thought
your performance was crap.
The losing team are the men.
NARRATOR: And Seth
blamed Giovanni.
What happened?
Shut the f*ck up, man.
I'm no waiter.
NARRATOR: But it
was Seth and Will
who ended up getting nominated.
Will, give me your jacket,
and leave Hell's Kitchen.
NARRATOR: And in
the end, it was Will
whose dream of
becoming head chef
at Borgata Hotel in Atlantic
City went up in flames.
[music playing]
[theme music]
Ba ba-da ba.
Ba ba-da ba.
NARRATOR: And now
the continuation
of "Hell's Kitchen."
Sorry, boys.
You stuck with me.
J's upset that he has to
spend another day with Seth.
Good luck, Seth.
Good luck.
Thank you, thank you.
Seth's just a waste of time--
waste of life.
He doesn't have the skill.
He doesn't have the heart.
Doesn't have the desire.
[music playing]
If I get kicked
off because of you,
I swear to God I'm
coming after you, Lacey.
I don't have the
experience you guys have.
And I just feel like--
You gave up on us, man.
I told Lacey that she
needs to f*cking help me.
And she's like, I'm not
gonna let you bully me.
And I'm like, well,
f*ck you, then.
Get the f*ck on.
I can do this by myself.
And not only that, if you don't
have confidence in yourself,
how the f*ck are we gonna
have confidence in you?
Lacey is lazy.
We all want her gone.
She should not be here.
You have to realize,
you can't give up on us.
If so, you need to go upstairs,
and pack now, and leave.
I don't know if I'm the
weakest link at this point.
But I do want to be here.
It's definitely a lot harder
than I thought I would be.
Good night.
Good night, boys.
I'll see you guys
in the morning.
[laughter]
Good night, guys.
NARRATOR: After an exhausting
first dinner service,
everyone is looking forward
to a good night's sleep.
But Hell's Kitchen
marches to the b*at
of a different drummer.
[drumming]
Let's go.
Everybody up!
Downstairs now.
Move!
I actually didn't
even see a band.
I heard ting-ting,
but I didn't--
how many f*cking
people were there?
[music playing]
Can you run?
No way.
If you don't want me to trip
and fall on you and squish you.
[drumming]
GORDON RAMSAY: OK, good morning.
Good morning, chef.
I was expecting so much
more from last night's dinner
service.
That was way beyond
disappointment.
Inside those bags is everything
you wasted last night.
Oh lord, the
dreaded garbage bags.
GORDON RAMSAY: Normally, you'd
be sorting through the trash.
But quite frankly, this morning,
we haven't got time for that.
Because we've just received
two crates of fresh scallops.
The purpose of this this morning
is to respect to your product.
Because everything we
get inside Hell's Kitchen
is the best of the best.
Each team, get
inside those crates.
Find your scallops.
And put them in the buckets.
I do not want one
ounce of waste.
Move your ass.
Let's go.
Hurry up!
MAN: Come on, come on.
Come on.
- [scream]
- Oh, sorry.
BEN: Honestly, I would have
rather picked through garbage.
Let's pull them out
and put them back in.
It's the most putrid smell.
GORDON RAMSAY: Woo, f*ck.
Don't fall in there.
We're not bobbing
for apples, Robert.
COLLEEN: [scream]
WOMAN: Oh!
COLLEEN: [screaming]
Holy mackerel.
Get up, get up, get up.
I fell.
I still have sand in my teeth.
[laughter]
Yuck.
OK, let's go back to the
kitchen-- back in there.
[music playing]
OK, this challenge--
all about scallops.
I have no experience
with scallops.
I didn't know they
came in shells.
Watch carefully.
In-- release the muscle.
When we put the Kn*fe in, I
don't want the scallop stabbed.
Off with the lid.
NARRATOR: This
challenge will not
only help the chefs
appreciate where
fresh shellfish comes from.
GORDON RAMSAY: And let
it fall out naturally.
NARRATOR: It will also test
their attention to detail.
Slide your thumb
alongside the muscle.
Carefully pop it
out of the skirt.
Clean it nicely.
Done-- immaculately and clean.
That's the challenge
this morning.
Your shucking, my standards.
Is that clear?
Yes, chef.
Ladies, it's
eight against seven.
Andrea, I want you
to sit this one out.
Yes, chef.
Seven again seven.
Are we ready?
Yes, chef.
Off you go.
- Grab a couple.
- Pass them down.
Pass them down.
WOMAN: Start off with one.
I'll hand them out, ladies.
NARRATOR: The scallop must
be removed from the shell
without any gashes.
I can't f*cking open it.
NARRATOR: Next, to
the surrounding muscle
must be removed.
The team with the
most scallops shucked
to Chef Ramsay's standards
will win the challenge.
WOMAN: Come on, ladies.
Let's kick their ass.
OK, this is gross.
If the people on earth
that ate scallops
saw the scallop like that,
they wouldn't eat them.
Seth, what are you doing?
I've never shucked
a scallop before.
Thought it was gonna be a
little bit easier than it was.
GORDON RAMSAY: Has anybody
open these scallops before?
[interposing voices]
- No, chef.
Never, chef.
Un-- shucking-- believable.
Come on, let's go.
I mean, you've got
to be careful, man.
Because one slip of
that blade, and--
[whistling]
--done, man.
[interposing voices]
GORDON RAMSAY: Last two minutes.
Come on, ladies.
This is big-time.
This is big-time.
This is where it counts.
[clapping]
GORDON RAMSAY: Speed up.
Come on, come on, come on.
MAN: Come on.
Come on!
Yeah.
GORDON RAMSAY: Five,
four, three, two--
MAN: Come on, come on.
GORDON RAMSAY: --one, stop.
Here we go.
Carol, show me what you got.
First one-- beautiful.
In.
Two-- in.
[clapping]
These are immaculate.
Three, four, five, six, seven.
Very good-- eight out of eight.
[cheering]
Immaculate.
[applause]
I was real nervous.
Caron just bangs out
eight of eight perfectly.
[sigh]
It sucks.
Paula-- holy sh*t,
what happened there?
Really bad.
NARRATOR: With only one out
of of Paula's scallops
being accepted,
it's up to cafe cook
Coi to get the
women back on track.
Perfect.
She succeeds with six
acceptable scallops.
Good.
Not bad.
Colleen.
A team is only as strong
as its weakest link.
I didn't want to be
that weak link today.
That's immaculate.
MAN: Go girl.
WOMAN: Good job, girl.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Well done.
COLLEEN: Thank you.
[cheering]
GORDON RAMSAY: Five out of six.
LA-- beautiful, in.
in the bag.
-- in.
Absolutely perfect-- .
[cheering]
LA, you've just become a star.
Eight out of eight-- well done.
Eight In minutes,
that's f*cking sorry.
I like to think that I
could have done more.
[cheering]
GORDON RAMSAY: Really well done.
NARRATOR: The red team
is doing reasonably well.
And Ji's four
acceptable scallops--
Absolutely
perfect-- well done.
[cheering]
NARRATOR: --bring
the total to .
GORDON RAMSAY: Really well done.
NARRATOR: Now it's
corporate buffet
chef Lacey's chance to prove
herself to her teammates--
Lacey, what is that?
NARRATOR: --and to chef Ramsay.
sh*t.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Out-- what a shame.
What happened there?
[music playing]
How did I do that?
Gashed once, gashed
twice, gashed three times.
Why do you look
so surprised when
you created sh*t like that?
Face like that-- was that me?
Three out of six--
that's shocking.
I think Lacey is
a complete moron.
I don't want to spend another
five minutes with her.
NARRATOR: The women successfully
shucked a total of scallops.
Leading off for the men is
executive sous chef, Ben.
Ben-- you gashed it.
That's-- that's shocking.
Out.
Where's the other half gone?
I think that a
small scallop, chef.
That is not a scallop.
That's half a scallop.
BEN: Sorry, guys.
Ben runs his mouth
about a big game.
But he has yet to put out.
Sorry, eh?
You're not exactly a f*cking
first-year apprentice, are you?
No, chef.
Three out of .
Not good enough.
Let's go, Danny.
Perfect, in.
- All right.
- Perfect.
[clapping]
Two, four, six, eight, nine--
nine out of .
Well done.
Thank you, chef.
NARRATOR: Danny has the men
moving in the right direction.
And next up is
executive chef Giovanni.
GORDON RAMSAY: Nice, perfect,
perfect, absolutely immaculate.
Giovanni-- chef was
pulling out scallop
after scallop after scallop.
Kept looking at all
the girls' faces.
They went from hero to zero--
boop.
GORDON RAMSAY: In.
out of --
really good job.
MAN: Yes.
[clapping]
GORDON RAMSAY: Robert,
show me what you got.
NARRATOR: Robert continues the
trend with five more scallops.
In general, good job.
Yes.
- Good job, Robert.
- All right, guys.
[clapping]
- Charlie, come on down.
NARRATOR: Only two
of Charlie's scallops
are accepted by Chef Ramsay.
GORDON RAMSAY: Charlie,
not good enough.
NARRATOR: The men are
trailing by three scallops.
But there are still
two chefs to go--
You got it.
NARRATOR: --Seth and J.
Seth, here we go.
What is that?
I've got half a scallop here.
Where's the other half?
I have the other
half here, chef.
Hey, f*ck yourself.
Out, out, out--
.
- All right.
[clapping]
MAN: Let's go.
.
MAN: There it is.
It's looking good, gentlemen.
Come on.
In.
DANNY: Yes!
GORDON RAMSAY: We're
tied, against .
NARRATOR: With the score
tied, J needs just one scallop
to give his team the victory.
Two, four, six-- is that all?
Yes Yes, chef.
J, dear, oh,
dear, what happened?
Kn*fe must have got
away from me there.
GORDON RAMSAY: Out.
JI: Don't make over please.
Out.
Please, please,
please, please.
Gashed in half--
out.
Gashed-- what a shame.
Out.
Oh my god.
Just get f*cking one.
You're O for five.
I've never worked
with fresh scallops,
so, uh, it's not
looking good for J.
NARRATOR: And he's
down to his last one.
[music playing]
Perfect.
Congratulations.
Yes, man!
[clapping]
[interposing voices]
Yes.
We're pumped.
Nice job.
Nice job.
OK.
Gentleman, we're doing
something quite unique.
We're spending a day on
one of the most amazing,
sought after destination
islands off the coast
of California, Catalina Island.
Yes.
[clapping]
Ladies, did not want
to lose this challenge.
Tomorrow night, for the first
time ever in Hell's Kitchen,
we are gonna feature a raw bar.
When I say raw bar, I mean, from
every oyster to every scallop,
you name it, we're having it.
And it's now your
responsibility to spend all day
setting up that raw bar.
Lacey, truthfully, do you
seriously give a sh*t?
I do, chef.
You do, yeah?
Show it to me.
Yes, chef.
She doesn't care.
She doesn't care about anything.
She doesn't care about the food.
She doesn't care about
this competition.
She doesn't care about her team.
She doesn't care.
Gentlemen, go and get changed.
Your helicopter's--
MAN: Yes, chef.
--waiting for you.
[interposing voices]
[cheering]
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go.
Smile about that.
Woo!
Ow!
One for the blue team.
I'm so excited-- a
helicopter flown to an island.
Is that near the ocean?
[laughter]
I don't know any--
I'm from Chicago.
There's no-- there's
no islands there.
Woo!
[music playing]
[crying]
I don't know.
I just keep freaking out.
I just want to go home.
We need you %.
I talked to Lacey,
because I figured it
might help to talk to someone.
Because it usually helps
me to turn things around.
I just think you guys would
be better off without me.
So is Lacey not
going down with us?
She's not putting her sh*t on.
So she gave up.
I shouldn't be here.
At this point, I
don't even care.
And I hate to say that.
Because I know that disappoints
my family, and my fiance,
and myself, but--
We do need you.
I just don't think I'm
cut out to handle this.
Come on, Lacey.
Snap out of it, you know?
[phone ringing]
Yes, chef.
I need to see you
in my office please.
OK.
Bye.
Thank you.
Oh, f*ck, man.
Here we go.
All right, sit
down, big boy-- quick.
Good challenge.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, bad news.
The helicopter
insurance policy won't
take anyone over pounds.
Unfortunately, you weigh--
About .
About .
So there's no way you're
gonna be traveling with us.
I get a lot of crap from
society because of my size.
I felt like this was
another situation,
because of my weight, that
I was being singled out.
Hey, I still want
you to come with us.
OK.
You're just gonna
go via the ferry.
Oh, great.
Of course.
You're part of the team.
And you did bloody
well in the challenge.
Thank you, chef.
See you shortly.
Hurry Hurry up.
- Yes, chef.
Hey, get changed.
Your ferry is leaving.
Yes, chef.
Women, downstairs--
seconds.
[blowing nose]
You know, if you want to
be good for the rest of us,
you should get up
and get your coat
I don't feel good.
Give me a f*cking break.
Everyone's been babying
your ass all morning.
You really want to
start something with me?
I'm not really afraid of it.
Good riddance.
Let's go, grab
some more scallops.
I want you to save the shells.
Do not throw those away.
Start shucking.
Let's go.
What happened to Lacey?
We're a stronger
team without her, chef.
You don't give up on your
team no matter how bad it is.
I have no respect for the
girl for that simple reason.
NARRATOR: While the
women start the misery
of their punishment
minus one woman,
the men start the
fun of their reward--
This is beautiful out here.
DANNY: Yeah, it is.
NARRATOR: --minus one man.
[music playing]
GORDON RAMSAY:
Welcome to Catalina.
Isn't it beautiful?
ROBERT:
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Hi, guys.
WORKER: Howdy.
How are you?
WORKER: Good, and you?
Thank you.
GORDON RAMSAY: Whoa--
it's great, no?
There's fish down there.
GIOVANNI: Oh, they're
coming after us.
GORDON RAMSAY: It's amazing.
- Yeah, it is.
I think this might actually
top the helicopter.
There was walls of fish
completely surrounding this,
you know, submarine.
It was awesome.
What a shame Robert
missed that one, yes?
[snoring]
NARRATOR: It's three hours
into the red team's punishment.
And Lacey is still
in bed, leaving
her teammates a little sour.
Hey, at least
she'll be well-rested.
That means her performance
will be top-notch.
Lacey isolated herself.
She's isolated herself
from the very beginning
just with her attitude.
Where do you get
your optimism from?
That's where I'm--
that's what I'm expecting.
If that's what her
f*cking problem is
and she's getting her sleep
now, she better perform.
You might want
to switch seats.
Chef--
[laughter]
f*cking A.
[interposing voices]
[laughter]
I'm kissing ass a little
bit, just wiping my nose off.
Where was I born?
Glasgow.
What was the name
of my last book?
- "Humble Pie."
- Yeah.
How many children do I have?
- Four.
I don't want to tell
you their names.
[laughter]
You know their names?
Holly, Megan,
Jack, and Matilda.
[music playing]
Seth-- he's scary.
He is coming across
as a stalker.
He knows more about Chef
Ramsay then Chef Ramsay.
It's weird.
- What else do you got for me?
Uh, what kind
of car do I drive?
You got the Lambo.
Your wife bought
you the Maranello.
J: Oh my god.
What else?
I just find it
weird that he knew
that much history about a man.
If I was the chef, I'd
be a little scared.
No, you stay there.
[laughter]
OK, no problem.
GORDON RAMSAY: Just stay there.
I'm here, don't worry.
GORDON RAMSAY: Whoa.
NARRATOR: It's six hours into
the red team's punishment.
And Lacey is starting
to feel a little better.
I can't just give up.
I'm here to compete.
I'm here to cook.
You know, I need to
be here to prove that.
I can't just go home.
Sorry I'm late.
Sorry you're late?
You're not late.
You weren't even here.
How was your nap?
It just seems like
everybody against Lacey.
And, you know,
she made that bed.
So, as the saying
goes, lay in it.
Good times, good times.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait to run down the
beach like Bo Derek, baby.
Mm, mm, slow motion--
mm.
[cheering]
GORDON RAMSAY: What
took you so long?
[laughter]
He's got the jig going on.
All right, listen.
Listen.
We've got some good
news and bad news.
OK.
GORDON RAMSAY: What
do you want first?
- The bad news.
- OK.
You're turning around.
We're all going back.
Yes?
[laughter]
OK.
[laughter]
The good news is, we had a
great day on Catalina Island.
[laughter]
Well, what the
hell did I win--
a free f*cking ferry ride?
sh*t.
Right?
Let's go, turn around.
We're going.
Let's go.
Let's get back on, Next
- Lead the way.
- You know the way.
NARRATOR: A new day
dawns in Hell's Kitchen.
And with it, a whole new Lacey.
I'm here today, ladies.
It's a new day.
Hot pan coming out.
I think Lacey is trying
to, like, turn things around.
She does seem a little
bit more lively.
What else do we need done?
[gasping]
Oh, are you OK, Ji?
You all right, hon?
I don't know what
happened to Ji.
I don't know if there was water
or oil dropped somewhere up--
and all of a sudden,
you hear, ow!
And she might've sprained it.
I'm not sure.
It doesn't look good.
Go ahead and
try to keep it up.
I know.
I know.
I'm in pain.
My ankle feels like sh*t.
Keep this on ice for a
little bit longer here, OK?
OK.
I don't know if I can do
this dinner service tonight.
She's hurt really bad.
Oh, I know.
Ji-- Ji, you all right?
I'm worried that she really
can't go to service tonight.
If she has to go home, I
mean, that's really bad.
All right, guys,
come over, please.
Quick, let's go, guys.
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Hell's Kitchen
is about to open.
And the aspiring chefs
are feeling the pressure
to put their best foot forward.
Tonight, for the very first
time ever in Hell's Kitchen,
we have a raw bar.
Every customer walking
through that door
will get a nice,
welcoming appetizer,
and hopefully give us
a little bit more time
to get out appetizers out, yes?
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Now operating the raw
bar for the red team tonight
will be--
Chef?
Oh.
Chef, I just wanted
to let you know
that I hurt my ankle, chef.
Are you all right?
I think I'll be OK.
But I'd like to go through
service and see how I feel,
chef.
I'd like to stay as well.
Yes, chef.
I'm hoping for the
best and that I will be
able to pull through service.
You know, I can't
let my girls down.
Paula.
Yes, chef.
You can do it.
Yes Yes, chef.
Operating the raw bar for
the blue team will be Robert.
Yes, chef.
You got to be
kidding me, dude.
Serve it?
Do you see how big I am trying
to squeeze by these tables?
What are we waiting for?
f*ck off in your sections.
Let's go.
[interposing voices]
GORDON RAMSAY:
OK, Jean-Philippe.
- Yes, chef.
- Open Hell's Kitchen, yes?
- Yes, chef.
- Let's go.
Move.
[music playing]
I'm going to have the
pan-roasted scallops.
PAULA: OK.
OK, ladies.
On order, four for table
-- two spaghetti,
one risotto, one scallops.
Entree-- two chicken,
one lamb, one salmon.
Yes, chef!
[interposing voices]
NARRATOR: This fresh seafood
raw bar has the added benefit
of giving the
kitchens extra cooking
time to hopefully avoid another
disastrous dinner service.
Do you have
everything you need?
Yes.
Yeah?
You're sweating a bit, no?
Well, I'm pounds.
Yeah.
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go.
- Are you busy?
Can you do the-- can you do the
pasta while I do the risotto?
Yes, I'm doing the pasta.
I'm doing the pasta.
[inaudible]
Scallops, risotto,
two spaghetti-- yes?
How long?
Where is the risotto?
I b*rned the garlic.
You b*rned the garlic?
Yes, chef.
Carol gets so
flustered and anxious.
She needs to keep
her head straight.
Where is the f*cking risotto?
It's coming, chef.
It's coming.
Come on, please.
Come on.
What the f*ck is that?
What is that?
Hey, madam, what is that?
What is that?
Look.
It doesn't f*cking come out.
What is that?
Sorry, chef.
Are you f*cking stupid?
No, I'm not stupid, chef.
Oh my god.
Chef Ramsay sent back a
few that honestly I thought
were really good.
I'm starting over on
those two risotto.
OK, thank you.
I just know that at
this point, whatever
station I'm on with
whoever I'm on,
I'm gonna have to
take the reins--
no matter what.
What am I doing
wrong with the risotto?
Just keep-- just concentrate.
Just concentrate.
I am concentrating.
That's how I would
have served it.
So what am I doing wrong?
NARRATOR: While Carol tries to
work through a sticky situation
with her risotto, Chef Ramsay
is hoping for a better batch
from--
- Johnny.
- Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Come on, fucker.
Let's go.
Taste.
Come on, taste.
Undercooked.
No cream in there, no marscapone
cream cheese, no seasoning,
more ham in there.
What's going on over there?
Just-- I've never made these.
I'm just trying to
figure it out, chef.
You've never made a risotto.
Ben, make him a risotto.
OK, so you got your
stock, you're right.
You're gonna take your spoon.
And you're gonna check
the done-ness of the rice,
because your seasoning's
already in there, right?
I know how to make the risotto.
I'm gonna show
you what I can do.
I try to help other
people in the kitchen,
because that's who I am.
I'm someone who helps.
You can't dwell.
Let's just move forward.
Yep.
I'm here now, and
we're making a dish.
NARRATOR: With no food
leaving the men's kitchen,
Robert does his best to keep
the blue diners entertained.
Hi, my name is Robert.
Hi, Robert.
Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.
When I was doing the raw bar,
it was just pour on the charm.
Thank you.
Oh, the koi fish.
So it matches the--
the theme, right?
Robert did a superb job.
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
NARRATOR: It's minutes
into dinner service.
And despite a rough start,
appetizers are finally
leaving the red kitchen.
WOMAN: It was worth the wait.
That is good.
[laughter]
NARRATOR: But not for long.
Third ticket.
Colleen, two minutes!
The scallops are
cooked, aren't they?
Yes.
Why are they still in
the pan if they're cooked?
They're gonna be
over-cooked, you stupid cow.
Oh my god.
Who cooked the
scallops last service?
Who was that?
- I did, chef.
Come here.
Show her how to cook
a f*cking scallop.
Hey, by the way, she's not
in charge of a kitchen.
Hey, this is free now--
free lesson.
Colleen runs a cooking school.
She has no experience on the
line, and it clearly shows.
Teach madam here how to
cook a f*cking scallop.
- Yes, sir.
- sh*t!
I almost felt
honored, in a weird way.
GORDON RAMSAY: Unbelievable!
- It's OK.
It's all right.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ji.
- Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Is
your ankle hurting?
Yes, chef.
Yes, so is my f*cking head.
It's throbbing.
NARRATOR: While Lacey tutors
the culinary teacher, over
in the blue kitchen,
Ben is ready to impress
the chef with a new risotto.
OK, we're gonna put that up.
Look, taste it.
That's delicious.
- Yes, chef!
- Yes, chef.
- Good for me.
That's good.
I don't need a pat on the back.
Thank you, chef.
But you know what?
I finally put something up
that, in his mind, was good.
NARRATOR: Charlie's risotto
made by Ben passes the test.
And now Colleen's scallops,
made by Lacey, are ready.
Thank you, Lacey.
LACEY: You're welcome, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Colleen--
you see the difference?
COLLEEN: Yes, I do, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Pink in the middle.
Colored both sides, yes?
Yes I do, chef.
Hey, did she charge you?
No, chef.
Well, thank f*ck for that.
Let's go.
God bless Nebraska.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: It's an hour and a
half and into dinner service.
And appetizers are finally
leaving the blue kitchen.
Seth and Charlie have
delivered their lobster
spaghetti to the pass.
-
GORDON RAMSAY: There's no
f*cking lobster in here.
Doesn't look like it, no.
NARRATOR: But it's missing
one key ingredient.
Hey, f*ck this.
Come here, you.
Come here.
What's this?
There's no f*cking
lobster in it.
sh*t.
How can you give it to me
with no lobster in there?
We're stupid, chef.
Apologies.
Wake up, Charlie!
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
I knew you were docile,
you f*cking idiot.
What is the dish called?
Uh, uh--
Spaghetti and lobster.
[music playing]
I feel like I just
got hit by a train.
NARRATOR: Disgusted
with the blue kitchen,
Chef Ramsay looks for some
good news from the women, who
have now moved on to entrees.
GORDON RAMSAY: Oh my god.
Come here, you.
Hey, Colleen, come here.
Carol, Lacey, come here.
I want now two wellington, yes,
one salmon, and one John Dory.
Why is the John Dory?
- I don't have the John Dory.
- You don't have it.
Hey, love, come here.
Hey, there you go.
Look at that.
Look, look.
Hold on.
Hey, don't run away.
It's black!
On top of that,
as an added bonus,
it's f*cking raw in the middle.
COLLEEN: Yes, chef.
f*cking useless, f*cking sh*t.
You're not a cooking
school teacher, are you?
You're joking, aren't you?
No, I'm not joking, chef.
I am a cook--
Tell me.
Tell me you're pumping yourself
up to make yourself look good.
You don't really have
a cooking school.
No, chef.
I own a cooking school.
I have a business
just like you do.
Your f*cking business
is not like my business.
Hey, madam.
Let's get that f*cking right.
It's not.
You're right.
You're robbing people.
You're a thief!
I'm concerned for
the poor bastards
that you've taken money off of.
Hey, madam.
Madam, lift that lid off.
It looks black.
It is black.
Oh, god.
COLLEEN: Both of them.
Oh, sh*t.
sh*t!
It's black.
COLLEEN: Yes, chef.
Oh my god.
These are burning.
I know.
Hey, madam.
Madam, get out!
Get in the raw bar.
Lacey-- Lacey!
Yes, chef.
Get on the fish.
Chef Ramsay's definitely
not gonna break me.
He can ask me to leave.
He can kick me out the kitchen.
He can do all those things.
But he's not gonna break me.
Paula, On the meat,
yeah-- with Coi.
Talk to me, Coi.
What do you need, girl?
NARRATOR: While Paula settles
into the meat station,
Chef Ramsay turns his attention
to the blue kitchen's entrees.
Two wellington, one
chicken, one lamb.
The lamb garnish is up, Danny.
GORDON RAMSAY: So
where's the lamb?
Coming down, coming down.
MAN: Got it.
Right behind you, chef.
[music playing]
That's nicely cooked,
that lamb, Danny.
Thank you, chef.
I was on cloud nine.
It feels good to get some
compliments from Chef Ramsay.
The cooking's spot on.
J: Yeah, his meat's great.
Go.
NARRATOR: It's two and a half
hours into dinner service.
And thanks to Danny, entrees
are moving quickly out
of the blue kitchen.
[laughter]
WOMAN: It's amazing.
It's good.
- Great.
WOMAN: Yeah, it's very good.
MAN: Pefect.
Hey, Ji, you need to work
two more Dory's after that
and two more wellingtons.
Two minutes out on that.
Ji, how you feeling?
Just don't remind me.
I've got my mental
focus right now.
So no more, no more.
Done.
That girl rocked tonight.
You could not even tell that
she was hurt as bad as she is.
Guys, this is our team
work picking up here.
LACEY: Come on, guys.
NARRATOR: While Ji is struggling
to make it through service,
the blue team is trying
to push out their entrees.
Giovanni.
- Yes, chef.
- Hey, all of you, come here.
Hey.
He's cooking his
ass off surrounded
by five Muppets, yeah?
His temperature's perfect.
And then I get that
bit of sh*t there.
Yeah, I got given that.
Would you eat that?
Go on, eat it.
Eat it.
Would you eat that?
- No, chef.
- Would you eat that?
- No, chef.
- Hey, you can be pissed off.
You got every f*cking
right to be pissed off.
You know that.
Yes?
Yes, chef.
f*cking raw!
I've never had a chef come
that close to me in my life.
And he can yell at me
from across the kitchen.
He doesn't have to get two
inches away from my face.
Hey, is that your pink?
Prep chef.
You can prep a f*cking scallop.
You can't cook a f*cking salmon.
Come on, Giovanni.
GIOVANNI: Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Despite Giovanni
slowing down his team,
the high quality
of these chefs is
showing, as both kitchens
are close to completing
their dinner service.
Gentlemen, come
here, quickly--
all of you.
Hey, ladies, come here.
Move, quick.
Let's go.
Hey, you've got
five tables to go.
You got four tables to go.
Whatever team finishes and
pushes it out is gonna win.
Move your asses.
[interposing voices]
Speed up.
Move, huh?
[interposing voices]
And I mean move, let's go.
Chef called back that the
girls had five tickets left,
and we had four tickets left.
The second he said that,
a switch turned on.
And we busted ass.
Lamb garnish, beef
garnish, let's go.
Guys, push this food.
We are winning!
Ready?
Are we ready?
We're ready.
[interposing voices]
Red team is
absolutely going to win.
And one of the boys
is gonna go. home.
What do you need?
We got the John Dory down.
We've got to win this.
We have to send someone
from the red team home.
We have to put the
pressure on them now.
Go please.
We have three more tickets.
Let's go.
- Speed up a bit.
Yes, chef.
This is the last
couple tickets.
Come on, guys--
whatever we can do.
They don't put food up
as quickly as we do.
The blue team is hungrier.
GORDON RAMSAY: Go, please.
I got chicken.
I got lamb going
up right behind it.
And that fills the whole board.
[interposing voices]
GORDON RAMSAY: Go, please.
Hey, come on.
We need a sizzle plate.
Anybody?
Come on, guys.
One ticket.
Let's do this.
- One ticket-- we can do it.
Guys, how long on
that final ticket?
- I'm ready.
- He's got it.
I'm waiting on you, man.
Going to the window.
Come on ladies,
one ticket left.
Carol, you ready?
No, I'm not ready!
Not yet.
Three minutes.
[music playing]
Carol definitely put
us behind the eight-ball.
It was pathetic.
It really was.
Move, come on.
Yes, chef.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
f*ck.
Hot plate, chef.
Lamb wellington, chef.
One for the team here--
come on, come on.
GORDON RAMSAY: Go,
go, go, table one.
Clear down.
Blue is done, chef.
You got it out.
Great job!
Yes.
Let's go!
Boy oh boy, this
is a sweet victory.
We kicked these
girls ass, you know,
each which way to Wednesday.
Let's go.
Let's start cleaning
it up, team.
GORDON RAMSAY: By the way,
the boys have just finished.
[music playing]
I need to elevate my
foot, because I hurt it.
I need to put it on ice.
NARRATOR: While the women are
upset by their dinner service
defeat, they're
equally concerned
about their teammate's injury.
Give us a hug.
Hey, Hi, you're
not going home.
Yeah.
I feel like a
burden to you guys.
And.
- No way.
We're a team, and you are a
strong member of this team.
Ji, you're gonna be fine
in a couple days, girl.
Well, I think Ji did very well.
And I completely forgot
that she was hurt.
And, you know, until she
says I can't do it anymore,
she's gonna be there
hammering it out.
She's a strong girl.
- You deserve to be here.
Thanks.
LACEY: You're gonna be fine, OK?
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Even though Chef
Ramsay has already declared
the blue team the
winner, he does
have some encouraging words
for a member of the red team.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ji.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Courageous
effort on one foot,
and clearly in a lot of pain.
- Thank you, chef.
More importantly,
you didn't give up.
I think quite a few in
this room this evening
would have given up.
Colleen.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: You know what
they say in the industry.
With the people
that can't cook--
psst-- they teach.
That's not true, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Well,
it f*cking was tonight.
Chef, I know how to cook fish.
You made me nervous.
I started doing things
that I don't normally do.
And you have every right
to be angry with me
for wasting the fish.
It's like she's talking
out of her assh*le sometimes.
You're just like, seriously,
just shut the f*ck up.
You frazzle my mind.
Every time I look at
you, I think of headache.
Get back to the dorm, yes?
Yes, chef.
All of you,
amongst yourselves,
decide on which two are gonna
be nominated for elimination.
Gentlemen, piss off.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: While Ji's injured
ankle gets some attention,
her teammates focus their
attention on which two of them
should be nominated.
I have to take responsibility.
I-- I don't want to be up.
You went over
there to help her.
You did a good job
on the fish in that.
Thank you.
I still think that-- you
know, I don't think you're gonna
be fit to run a kitchen.
That's not fair.
If you--
Lacey, Lacey, don't
ever say it's not fair.
Because you want to
know what's not fair?
Yesterday, you took your
f*cking ass to the bed,
and you slept all f*cking day.
And you cried like a
f*cking baby all day long.
I turned it around.
I became a team player again.
I think Carol should be
put up for elimination just
because she f*cking
everything up.
It's not fair.
The-- the personal
side of me can't stand
the f*ck out of you.
Carol's just so quick
to call other people out,
but Carol didn't do as well
as she's thinking she did.
We all f*ck up at our stations.
The fact remains that one of the
ladies is gonna be going home.
None of us are safe.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: While the men
are safe for tonight,
the red team is about
to feel the pain--
[moan]
--of losing a teammate.
[music playing]
LA, first nominee
and why, please.
We as a group came to
the decision, Colleen
as our first nominee,
just because she
wasn't really calling
back and listening well.
And she gives you a headache.
A f*cking big one.
Second nominee and why.
Our second nominee
is Lacey, because she
has no confidence in herself.
And it shows.
OK.
Lacey, Colleen, step forward.
[music playing]
Lacey, why should you stay
inside Hell's Kitchen?
I will admit that
the past couple days,
I have not had
confidence in myself.
But I woke up.
And I do have
confidence in myself.
And I want to show my team
that, you know, I can do it
and that I'm there for them.
- Colleen.
I am % committed.
I have been since the beginning.
And I want to prove
to myself and to you
that I am deserving of
this position, chef.
Are you better than Lacey?
I am % better than Lacey.
You know, I had to
take over her station
to get the entrees out.
I'm not saying I know a
lot more than Colleen,
but I think I could do a
better job in the long run.
I will make this team
a stronger team, chef.
And that's what you wanted
in the kitchen tonight.
You wanted our best.
I am sorry I did
not give it to you.
But I would like the
opportunity to try again.
Thank you.
You're giving me a headache.
Yes, chef.
[music playing]
It gashed three times.
Why do you look
so surprised when
you created sh*t like that?
Face like that-- was that me?
It's f*cking raw in the middle.
Yes, chef.
You're robbing people!
You're a thief!
My decision is-- chef.
[music playing]
Chef.
Ji.
Yes, chef.
You OK?
Chef, um, it's
an honor to work
with you in your kitchen, chef.
But I'd like to volunteer.
I feel that I'm half a
manpower in your kitchen, chef.
But still better than
what's standing in front of us
at half half power.
I want the girls,
the red team, to win.
Colleen, Lacey, both
of you, get back in line.
Thank you, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Get back in line.
[music playing]
-
You, madam--
- Yes, chef.
--yes-- have been phenomenal.
Thank you, chef.
A talented girl.
But unfortunately, due
to the circumstances,
it's not fair to
continue going on--
I know, chef.
--under that amount of pain.
Keep hold of your jacket--
Thank you, chef.
--as a symbol
of courage, pride.
Because you've done bloody well.
Yes, chef.
Thank you, chef.
[music playing]
[applause]
JI: I know I could
have gone all the way.
It sucks to leave, you
know, because of an injury.
I'd rather be leaving because
of lack of skill or something,
you know?
Maybe it was just
not meant to be.
Every one of you in here, pick
up on that level of courage.
That's courage at its best.
And my god, was she in pain.
That's what I call commitment.
Get some sleep.
- Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
[interposing voices]
I'm angry that Ji is
gone and Colleen and Lacey
are still here.
It's not fair.
Colleen and Lacey are
gonna have a really
hard time filling Ji's shoes.
I'm really happy that
I get this second chance
to prove myself.
And I think if I just
keep my mouth shut--
think nasty thoughts,
not say nasty thoughts--
I think we'll be OK.
I do call this a successful
evening for the blue team.
If you Put Colleen and Lacey
together and you made one cook,
I think you'd still
have half of what
Ji's able to do on the line.
If Ji leaving works to our
advantage, then good for us.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ji
showed great courage.
Unfortunately, her injury
got in the way of her dream.
She had a chance to win this.
But sadly, we will
never, ever know.
NARRATOR: Next time
on "Hell's Kitchen--"
You just turned on
your bitch switch.
NARRATOR: --the claws come out.
Oh, I sure have a bitch switch.
And you f*cking hit
it every f*cking time.
NARRATOR: And no one is safe.
[screaming]
[inaudible]
There was, like,
blood on the ground.
GORDON RAMSAY: f*ck, move now!
NARRATOR: The chefs
take a field trip--
MAN: Does anybody have
a heart condition?
Is anybody afraid of heights?
NARRATOR: --that leaves
a lasting impression.
I'm so f*cking
humiliated right now.
NARRATOR: At dinner--
Steak Kn*fe, let's go.
NARRATOR: --the chefs
are willing to lie--
Have you been
drinking or sniffing?
No, chef.
NARRATOR: --cheat--
Oh, no, no.
Come here.
You're f*cking pathetic.
NARRATOR: --and steal--
Bingo.
The most expensive part!
NARRATOR: --to win
a head chef position
at Borgata in Atlantic City.
You will do anything,
we have to do to win.
NARRATOR: But one chef
pays a hefty price--
Today, me and my fiance
Jamie were to be married.
NARRATOR: --all next time
on a "Hell's Kitchen" you
absolutely don't want to miss.
