NARRATOR: Previously,
on "Hell's Kitchen."
Shut it down.
Shut the place down.
Close it down.
NARRATOR: After three
consecutive dinner disasters--
Unbelievable.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay guaranteed
safety to the team that
served all of its diners first.
We need to prove to ourselves
what we're capable of doing.
NARRATOR: Both teams
struggled at the start.
It's crap!
Start the table again!
NARRATOR: Andrew had
problems on the garnish.
Nothing is coming out!
NARRATOR: But not
with his mouth.
Yes, Chef.
No, Chef.
Here you go, Chef,
on the window.
NARRATOR: Both teams
turned it around.
Jessica, very nice wellington.
Thank you, Chef.
Elsie, Wellington's spot on.
NARRATOR: But for the blue
team, it was short lived.
I want three
[inaudible] risottos.
NARRATOR: And the
red team accomplished
a first in Hell's Kitchen.
The final ticket.
NARRATOR: Serving
all of their diners.
Jimmy, start dancing
like a ballerina.
Move it.
Good job, red team!
I'm proud of myself.
And the guys are proud of me.
NARRATOR: Although, it was
obvious the blue kitchen lost,
it wasn't obvious who would
be doing the nominating.
The blue team has a new,
talented cook, Jessica.
NARRATOR: Jessica nominated
her good friend Mary Ellen
and nobody's friend Andrew,
confident he would be leaving.
But Chef Ramsay
had another idea.
Mary Ellen, take
off your jacket.
You're leaving Hell's Kitchen.
NARRATOR: And now the
continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
The contestants
retreat to the dorms
after an unexpected elimination.
The blue team has lost
two nights in a row
and they are down a
second team member.
Jessica's plan to get
rid of Andrew backfired.
She didn't expect to sacrifice
her friend, Mary Ellen.
Are you OK?
I know it's hard for you, baby.
Come on.
It was very hard for
me to nominate her.
I didn't think that Mary
Ellen was going to be cut.
I really thought it
was going to be Andrew.
Do you know what?
He should have been gone.
Oh, f*ck!
That's f*cking bullshit.
f*ck!
Having Mary Ellen made
me feel safe on the line.
You know, but Andrew doesn't.
What else are you
gonna do, you know?
It's not your fault.
NARRATOR: Although Andrew
wasn't sent home this time,
he knows he is far from safe.
I feel like I'm misunderstood.
I feel like I get picked on.
You know, I'll admit that.
This is the most hostile
environment I've ever
worked in, and that is hell.
Where's Andrew?
I don't know.
Hopefully he's
praying some place.
There's only so many things
that you can do for somebody
before they have
to help themselves.
At the end of the
day, in the kitchen,
you can really tell who's
doing it and who's not.
And Andrew's not.
That guy, boy, if he
hasn't seen God yet--
He's probably in
psychotherapy right now.
I'm still doing
something right.
I'm still doing something right.
I'm still doing something right.
I'm doing something right.
Because I could have
survived the line, because I
shut my f*cking mouth tonight.
I sucked it.
Move f*cking up.
NARRATOR: "Hell's Kitchen"
started with aspiring chefs.
Now the dreams of
only seven remain.
With the numbers
dwindling on the teams,
individuals are trying to
shine in front of Chef Ramsay.
Good morning, guys.
Good morning, Chef.
You guys are bonding.
But each and every team is only
as good as its weakest link.
Ralph.
- Yes, Chef?
Who's your strongest link?
I've got to put myself
out there right now
as a strong link in the team.
You know, I'm working hard.
I know what to do.
And I get it done.
So I nominated myself.
Somebody thinks
different, give me a call.
And who's your weakest link?
I think all things
being considered,
Andrew would have to be
our weakest link presently.
To be called out like
that, I mean, that was crap.
Chris.
Yes, Chef?
Who's your strongest link?
I believe I'm the
strongest, Chef.
Michael's very talented.
He's got a lot of
kitchen experience.
But I think I've
been around the block
a little more than he has.
And, you know, at this point,
I do feel I'm the strongest.
I love the way
you put yourself
forward like that
on that platform,
that executive platform.
And who's your weakest?
I think Jimmy is the weakest.
When Chris mentioned I was
the weakest link on the team,
it gets me a little
riled up, you know?
And I'm going to show him
that the weakest link can
go from the bottom to the top.
Interesting.
It's clearly obvious,
not all of you
want to have a fine
dining restaurant.
So tomorrow night,
we're throwing
away the existing menus.
Tomorrow night, Hell's Kitchen
becomes a Pasteur restaurant.
In the kitchen with me now.
Let's go.
Put the two Italians on
one team, cooking pasta,
we're gonna rock it, man.
OK, guys, here we go.
NARRATOR: With the most
successful dinner service
behind them, Chef
Ramsay has decided
to create a whole new menu.
But first, a lesson on the
finer points of making pasta.
Fresh pasta.
NARRATOR: Chef
Ramsay demonstrates
how to properly make pasta.
The ball of dough must be
precisely rolled out to fit
the width of the machine.
It must be continually fed
back through the machine
to get it to the
correct thickness.
So feed it through.
OK, Chris.
Yes, Chef?
Arms out, please, Chris.
Nice.
Arms out.
Right.
There you go.
And then--
- Lovely.
Now look at him now.
What handsome, f*cking bugger.
There we go.
CHRIS: Thank you.
Right.
Spaghetti.
Four of you on the red team.
Three of you in the blue team.
Chris.
Yes, Chef?
You're sitting
out on this one.
Understand, you've got
minutes to toll as much pasta
as possible to my standard.
The winner, the most amazing
prize this afternoon,
beautiful treat.
Red team on my right.
Blue team on the left.
Set up.
I'll tell you when to go.
Chef Ramsay had said
one of your teammates,
you've got to hold the
pasta out, arms like this.
And Michael wanted me to do it
because he figured, you know,
I was so big and,
you know, I guess,
strong enough to sit there
with my arms like that.
Are we ready?
Yes, Chef.
Ready, steady, roll.
Let's go.
You've gotta work it.
Work the edges.
Work the dough.
CHEF RAMSAY: Let the
machine do the work, yes?
I got it, I got it.
Roll it [inaudible].
Turn it nice and
slow and steady.
NARRATOR: The teams
must constantly
keep the machine floured so
the dough doesn't stick inside.
Careful, Andrew.
You jam that machine,
Andrew, we're in trouble.
There you go.
There you go, Elsie.
Each one of us
kind of just trying
to flour our hands together.
And I'm holding
on to the machine.
And I'm flouring.
It was just so incredible.
Are we ready
for any spaghetti?
Right here, Chef.
[inaudible]
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Come on!
NARRATOR: Once the
pasta is cut, it
must be hung to dry without
sticking or clumping together.
- Three minutes to go.
- Get it on.
Come on.
Spin this thing.
CHEF RAMSAY: Who wants the prize
to get out of Hell's Kitchen
this afternoon.
There was so much adrenaline
trying to get that pasta out
that I didn't feel my arms.
I was just trying to
move as fast as I could.
Jimmy, you look f*cking
delicious as a blonde.
I totally wish I could have
jumped in and helped out.
The only utensil that
I had was my mouth.
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Just slice it and get rid of it!
Go!
Red team, come on!
And eventually,
just, it started
wearing on my shoulders.
And it hurt like hell.
One minute to go.
Ten seconds to go.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Stop!
Good job.
Good job.
Good job, red.
OK, teams.
Time to see what's staying in
and what's going in the bin.
Blue team first.
NARRATOR: Only pasta
that meets Chef Ramsay's
standards will be counted.
The team whose pasta
weighs the most will win.
Not bad.
That's in.
And this, here, is all
crinkled and one big blob.
You know that from going in?
Of course.
That's in.
That is nice.
That's in.
Blue team, . pounds.
NARRATOR: Now it's time to see
how the red team weighs in.
Jimmy!
Now that is immaculate.
That's definitely in.
Yep.
That's very nice.
Blue team.
You finished a . .
Red team, you're on . .
It was really
down to the wire.
What is that?
We can't cook that, yeah?
That is uncookable.
Another big knot.
Pull that out.
That's nice.
Red team, you're on . .
Blue team, you finished on . .
So one left.
My worry is with this, the
bottom is lumped together.
That is usable.
Red team.
. .
f*ck!
Holy shit.
Blue team, . .
Red team is the winners.
That a boy.
Oh!
Come on!
You got clumps all
over that pasta!
I know, there are clumps
all over that pasta.
Congratulations, red
team, you're going out,
the most amazing
time this afternoon.
Enjoy it.
Thank you, Chef.
Blue team, we've
got a fully booked
restaurant tomorrow
night, and as
part of your punishment, Scott!
Where's the dough, please?
Here we go.
Take a look at that.
Start rolling.
Our pasta looked good.
It was pretty.
It was separated.
It was fluffy and beautiful.
Theirs looked like crap.
My grandmother would
never serve this.
Yeah, my grandmother would
never serve that either.
Would never serve that.
That's like the biggest clump.
Be a good loser.
Whatever.
Start rolling.
Damn it.
You know, I'm sick of losing.
I'm sick enough of not
going on the field trips.
It's not fun.
Hey!
That was just too tight.
Where are we going?
Who cares?
We're going out of here.
I'm very excited about
winning this pasta competition.
The fact that it was as close
as it was made it even sweeter
to see the blue team just start
calling shenanigans on us,
you know, saying our
pasta wasn't good enough,
that they should have won.
Bye, guys!
Goodbye, gentlemen, ladies.
I think we're
getting the shaft.
Every time.
Have fun!
NARRATOR: In keeping
with the pasta theme,
Chef Ramsay has arranged
a special outing
for the red team.
This is my first
time on a Gondola.
I'm very excited.
We're going to go do
it up Italian style,
a little wine, a little
singing, and some relaxation.
[music playing]
This is nice.
Hey, guys, here's
to not making pasta.
Yeah!
Here's to red team.
Poor Ralph.
He's missing out.
My grandmother wouldn't
serve that pasta.
Well, Chef Ramsay would.
It's f*cking crazy.
I'm infuriated.
Do you want to know the truth?
I'm aggravated by this
whole f*cking thing.
[music playing]
Right now, the blue team is
probably trying to wash off
coats of flout off their body.
Ralph's got flour
caked in places I
don't want to think about.
Losing back to
back up back hurts.
Yeah, it does.
We could be here till
: in the morning.
Welcome to Hell's
Kitchen, my name is Ralph,
I'll be your tour guide.
Red team, we earned it.
We earned it.
Good wins today and yesterday.
[inaudible]
NARRATOR: The blue
team has completed
all the pasta for tomorrow
night's dinner service.
The red team is now returning
from a relaxing outing
and Michael quickly
gets back to business.
How's it going?
You know, it's going.
Did you have fun?
You know, it was all right.
You guys worked your ass off.
Definitely frustrated myself.
You know what I mean?
Michael wants us very badly.
He plays the shy,
sweet boy, you know?
I think Michael is the most
manipulative in the group.
I think he'd still k*ll
to win the restaurant.
I hope you guys don't have
any resentment towards me.
We don't have any resentment
towards any of you guys.
I don't.
I'd love to see it to
the end where me and you
shake hands and battle it out.
Yeah, no doubt.
We gotta figure there's
always that chance
that you go strategy-wise
and put me up on the block.
MICHAEL: Like, I don't want to.
Thanks, man.
MICHAEL: Just remember, man,
you've got a friend in me.
NARRATOR: While
everyone else sleeps,
Michael retreats to
begin a nightly ritual,
a conversation with himself.
Michael hasn't been
Michael since day one.
Michael's been
quiet, and watching,
and thinking, and plotting,
and manipulating, and waiting.
I do not give a shit
about anybody right now.
I have to concern
myself with myself.
I will this, Chef Ramsay.
I've got everything
on the line for this.
[music playing]
Good morning, guys.
Good morning, Chef.
So tonight, Hell's Kitchen
becomes a Pasteur restaurant.
And you know what?
We're fully booked.
In fact, we're double booked.
Two sittings, a full
house, times two.
One team will cook and
one team will serve.
And then we'll turn around
and the other team will cook.
And the other team will serve.
And the objective, of
course, is each team
to serve the entire
restaurant in two hours.
So there should be no
complications, right?
Yes, Chef.
Red team, you won the
challenge yesterday.
Let me know an hour before
service whether you would like
to cook first or serve first.
Yes, Chef.
Are we ready?
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Someone's going home
with that team tonight,
I'll tell you that.
NARRATOR: The teams will
have the rest of the day
to prep a brand new
pasta menu consisting
of three starters, three main
courses, and three desserts.
You've got to have a look.
Rather than thin
them out on there,
there's a better way, look.
Left to right, right to left.
So they sit on there nicely.
Yeah, that's good, Chef.
I think we were doing
it the other way--
Plus, that way, the
pasta takes twice as long
to cook like that.
Doing a full
service by ourselves,
there's definitely some
added pressure put on us.
It's definitely not
going to be easy.
But you know, I do
have a lot of faith
in the red team at this point.
Hey, we got no weak links
on this team, you guys.
I cannot wait.
I'm cooking pasta.
I mean, I've cooked enough
freaking pasta in my lifetime
to last me two lifetimes.
Don't forget for a
second that it's w*r.
I don't want to go home today.
NARRATOR: It's an hour before
the first seating and time
for the red team's decision.
OK.
Red team, have you
decided, first,
are you going to cook or
are you going to serve?
We said we were
going to cook first.
So red team's cooking first.
Blue team, Jean-Phillipe's
waiting for you
to show you your tables.
Is that clear?
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: Tonight, each
seating will last two hours
and have guests.
For the first seating,
the red team will cook
while the blue team serves.
And don't you forget,
tonight, you'll have to go fast.
NARRATOR: For the
first time, Chef Ramsey
will be evaluating each
team on their performance
in both the kitchen
and the dining room.
Let's do that.
, in the middle,
closest to the door.
NARRATOR: On the blue
team, Andrew and Ralph
have serving experience,
while Jessica has
never served the tables before.
When I get the
food, am I supposed
to carry it on a big tray?
Yeah, and then, if
you need my help, just--
How do I know--
am I going to put
it down somewhere?
Because I don't know
how to do that shit.
So what you're going to
do is come and grab me.
NARRATOR: As Hell's Kitchen
opens for the fifth time,
it will be the first time
that one kitchen will attempt
to feed an entire restaurant.
It's good.
[inaudible] in there.
It's nice and clean.
NARRATOR: In the
dining room, Ralph is
already turning on the charm.
What are we going to talk
about tonight for dinner?
You didn't get the menu did you?
No.
The maitre d in this
place, hell's kitchen.
What do you suggest?
Ralph, what do you suggest?
I'm gonna tell you what
you're going to have.
How about this?
We don't even need menus.
OK.
Do you like-- have you
ever been to Tuscany?
- It's on my wish list.
- OK.
I'm going to take
you there in a bowl.
I like people.
I like making them smile.
It's why I do this.
- Do you like that?
Do you like that?
- Sounds good.
Do you like that, too?
I'll get three of those.
There we go.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
in the red kitchen,
Jimmy is quickly pushed
out the first starters,
hoping to score some early
points with Chef Ramsay.
Look at the bowl, Jimmy.
Jimmy, look at the bowl.
Get it back.
Come on, Jimmy.
Come on.
Don't you dare start
acting like a slob.
Hey, and can I have it clean?
Jimmy, the plates
look dirty, Jimmy.
I actually think you're
doing this on purpose
now, to get a reaction.
JIMMY: I'm not, Chef.
It's not possible.
It's not possible.
Way is the food?
- Yes.
- Yes?
Don't say, uh--
- I'm sorry, Chef.
Where's the soup?
Right here, Chef.
Just go.
Oh, no, no, no.
Dirty bowl.
Oh, that's coming off the bread.
NARRATOR: One hour into the
first seating, the red kitchen
is finally getting most
of their starters out.
I need to come over, but
I'm going to go like this
so I don't screw that up.
The kitchen apologizes.
Can I get my silverware?
Yes.
NARRATOR: Now, Chef Ramsey
is awaiting the main courses
from Elsie and Chris.
Michael, Elsie,
Chris, Jimmy, One hour
gone, and we're not
even halfway yet.
- Yes, Chef.
- I'm just so confused.
I don't what's going
on with what anymore.
OK, let's go,
short ribs, lasagna,
spaghetti, [inaudible].
Two minutes?
- Four minutes, Chef.
- Four minutes.
Maximum four minutes.
Yes, Chef.
Let's go, yeah?
We shouldn't be waiting
for the lasagnas, sorry.
These lasagnas cook themselves.
Are they in the
ovens, the lasagnas?
All of them, yeah?
Elsie.
- Yes?
I need it moving.
d Because all I can see
is just you prepping it.
You're like a little
maid, just prepping it,
but nothing's actually
happening on the stove.
I have to say, red
team, these main courses
are not coming out, OK?
Yes, I'm waiting for the
entrees on table , please,
Chef.
- , yes?
And , as well, yes?
- Yes.
and in that order.
Yes, thank you.
Two tortellini,
main course two ribs.
Dessert, we'll probably
going to want cheesecake.
- Yes, Chef.
- Go.
Two tortellini away.
Oui, Chef.
Forget the f*cking executive.
Yes, oui, Chef, just
tell me yes or no
and cut the toss pot
bullshit oui, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Let me get some
food out here, yes?
Yes, Chef.
You know, I got a target
on the back of my head
because I come in here
saying I'm an executive chef.
Well, unfortunately, that's
what I do for a living.
I'm an executive chef.
I'm sorry.
No matter how f*cking--
arrogant you want to be,
look at these main courses.
Yes, Chef.
And we're just
standing over here, yes?
Yes, Chef.
Chris, I suggest
you try harder, OK?
Because nothing's
happening here.
Look at all these
f*cking tickets.
My God, look at it.
NARRATOR: There's minutes
left in the first seating
with the blue team on the
floor and the red team
in the kitchen.
Elsie and Chris have slowly
pushed out their main courses.
Tonight, Michael has decided not
to come to their aid, instead,
he is focused on impressing
chef Ramsay with his desserts.
Desserts, Michael, how long?
Oui, Chef, right here.
Right behind you.
OK, good.
Servers, please.
Michael, thank you.
In the past, I had
definitely done a lot of work
for the other people.
But I can't keep helping people
in order for them to survive.
Go, please, JP.
NARRATOR: With minutes left
in the first dinner service,
the red kitchen is
headed for disaster.
I want the food
off the hot plate
now so we get some
customers served, yes?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
NARRATOR: So out on the
floor, Jessica takes
matters into her own hands.
Would you like a tortellini?
Is the main course
going to come first?
If I were you guys
and you're hungry,
I would eat one of
these if you're hungry.
There was only
about minutes left
and I was handing out random
entrees because at that point,
I just wanted to make
my customers happy.
I know it's--
I know.
JP.
This table, my table--
CHEF RAMSAY: Jean-Phillipe!
It's not mine.
You're standing
there, taking applause.
What are you signing
f*cking napkins?
Come on.
Get your Belgium
bullocks over here.
Get me the blue team, please.
Oui, Chef.
Now.
, , , , , , , , , .
Where is Jessica?
Yeah, Jessica!
Yes?
Two hours and five minutes,
the kitchen is closed.
In one hour's time,
we're going again.
Move your ass.
Yes, Chef.
OK, red team.
Come here.
Stop.
That's two hours.
And I'm surprised that
the f*cking main courses
aren't coming out faster.
Yeah?
Stop.
Clear down, yeah?
Switch off.
I'm not happy.
I am not happy.
I'm not happy either.
Elsie, I am not happy.
Oh.
NARRATOR: The first
seating is over.
And the red kitchen
failed in their mission
to complete service.
As for the blue team's
service in the dining room--
Thank you!
All right, have a nice night.
You, too!
I'm surprised that
you're still around
and that you're actually
working at this restaurant.
NARRATOR: It seems like
they had mixed reviews.
All right.
Now let's f*cking win this.
Let's f*cking win
this f*cking thing.
NARRATOR: The restaurant will
reopen for the second seating
in one hour with the blue
team cooking and the red team
serving new guests.
Meanwhile, Michael
is trying to figure
out how to overcome his team's
bad performance in the kitchen.
You know, I'm going to
run them out of lasagna.
You know exactly
what they're low on?
What's that?
You know what they're low on?
Yeah, bust them, man.
We're going to try
to do everything
we can to blow blue team down.
I know what they're low on.
I know what they're
going to be hurting on.
Lasagna, hands down.
It's a pain in the ass to make.
And so we're going to try
to shove as much of that
down their throat as we can.
NARRATOR: While the
red team is conspiring,
Ralph is feeling the
burden of only having three
cooks in the blue kitchen.
This is the garlic you use
for the linguine white clam
sause, not this garlic.
So let's just get
rid of tat altogether.
Thing
I'm trying to
show you the f*cking
way to do it and your f*cking
[inaudible] stepping in it.
All right, we don't--
I don't want to go in
front of the f*cking guy,
have him f*cking yell at me
at the end of the f*cking day.
None of you want
to go home, right?
So if we lose, no one goes home.
- I know, Ralph.
But don't get--
Ralph, just use
the sliced garlic.
[interposing voices]
Let me tell you something,
was that easy, Andrew?
Was that f*cking easy?
Huh?
Is that f*cking easy?
I wouldn't be f*cking
hearing the f*cking
shit I've I've heard for
the past f*cking five days.
All right?
Just do me a favor.
You f*cking listen.
You want to give me
some f*cking lip?
Don't.
- I'm not giving you lip.
I'm just saying don't freak out
over the f*cking chopped garlic
that I had.
- Hey, hey, you know what?
This ends now.
No more bullshit in the kitchen.
All right?
I think Andrew sometimes is
a little [inaudible],, you know,
that's thick headed in Italian.
I think he asks a
question but he's not
ready to receive the answer.
NARRATOR: As the doors open
for the second service,
the red team puts
their plan into action.
How are you doing tonight,
ladies and gentlemen?
What can I get you
for you if you entree?
I do recommend,
off of here, lasagna.
I really fell in love with that.
It's very good.
We want two meat lasagna.
OK.
- Lasagna?
Yeah.
Love it.
Love it.
You say that!
Oh, yeah, it's delicious.
OK, come on.
I'm good.
Thank you.
All right, blue team, an order.
One tortellini main
course, four lasagna,
one spaghetti of clams.
- Yes, Chef.
- Thank you.
I'm going to have the lasagna.
You can't go wrong.
Blue team, an order.
Three lasagna, one
spaghetti of clams.
It looks like they're
pounding us with lasagna, huh?
It was clear that the red
team tried to sabotage us.
We just had so many orders
of lasagnas coming in.
You know, they're playing dirty.
All right, Ralph, how long?
Right now, Chef.
Three soup, two
tortellinis, please.
I'm about half
way right now, Chef.
Yep.
straight up [inaudible] please.
Right.
Ralph.
Yes, Chef?
When you're giving
me the plates,
you're splashing with
tomato everywhere.
Yeah?
And life could be a lot
f*cking easier, you know that?
[inaudible] splashed
[inaudible]----
Yes, Chef.
Look at me.
Yeah, I'll send them back now if
you want to be a f*ck with me.
Do you know that?
- [inaudible]
You're getting the pan,
you're frying the tomato,
and it's splashing the f*cking
plates, and we can't clean it.
There's no need to fry
the ass off of that.
You just need to
hear it up nicely.
And when you go to
the plate, don't
f*cking splash it because
I'm fed up with cleaning it.
Yes, Chef.
Because you're just banging
out as if you don't care.
And you told me you
do f*cking care.
I do, Chef.
So care then!
All right.
NARRATOR: Although Ralph, the
self-proclaimed strongest link
on the blue team, struggles with
Chef Ramsay's high standards--
- Ralph!
- Yes, Chef?
One bean soup,
one spaghetti away.
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: He manages to get
most of his starters out.
Sorry it took so long.
NARRATOR: minutes into
the second dinner service--
Where's Jimmy?
NARRATOR: And Jimmy's
hard work on the floor
produces an unappetizing
side effect.
What can I do
for tonight, miss?
What's going on?
I don't know.
You're sweating.
Oh my God.
I'm sorry about that.
Are you guys in trouble?
Jimmy!
I'm getting yelled at.
I'm getting pissed.
Where is that fat f*ck?
Wipe your sweat.
I'm trying.
I'm sorry, I'll [inaudible].
CUSTOMER: All right, Jimmy.
He's kind of
sweating like a bore.
CHEF RAMSAY: Jimmy!
Oh, look at him.
f*cking hell.
What was he doing?
He's like an inflated
turd in a f*cking cloud.
Jimmy!
Come on, big boy, let's go.
NARRATOR: Though he's struggling
to keep his customers happy,
Jimmy is still working
hard to make an impact.
CHEF RAMSAY: Go.
Your last time, Ralph.
We're going all up now.
Go , Jimmy.
Hurry up.
Yep.
I want everybody
together, please.
Hurry up, Jimmy.
I just want to
have a quick word.
- , please.
- Yes.
is here.
This is .
Yeah, I need all three of you.
Where's Jimmy?
OK, this is , this is .
Jean-Phillipe, serve it.
Serve it!
I want him here now.
OK, tortellini and a
soup, madame, monsieur?
- Two tortellinis.
- Two tortellinis.
OK, we have a problem there.
Can you go and see
Gordon with the tray?
Let's go.
What's going on here?
I need one more tortellini.
What do you mean
one more tortellini?
I brought it to the
wrong table, the last one.
What is going on?
, I had gotten the
two tortellini before.
Where have they gone then?
They ate them at
the wrong table.
Oh, come on.
No, I just want four
tortellini from you, Ralph.
And nothing f*cking more.
Where have those
two tortellini gone?
, Chef.
Unbelievable.
f*cking pathetic.
Go for a walk, lose some weight.
Hah.
Whatever.
Jimmy, stop touching yourself.
JIMMY: I'm just
scratching my head.
Stop it.
Don't touch your hair.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't touch your face.
- I'm sorry.
I have the rag in hand.
Stop touching yourself.
I'm sorry.
Please.
All right, I'm sorry.
NARRATOR: With minutes
left in the second seating,
the red team's strategy
to push the lasagnas
has taken its toll
on the blue kitchen.
And they are way behind
on their main courses.
Hardly any main courses
have gone out, yes?
Main courses, how long?
- Four minutes, Chef.
Four minutes.
This is slow.
- Three minutes, Chef.
- Yeah?
I hope so!
We've got to put it up.
We've got to get it
to these tables up.
Right now.
It's the difference
between winning and losing.
Chef Ramsay?
Yes, Elsie?
Do we know how long
for table ten's lasagna?
Table ten's entrees.
They are being assholes.
Where are the short ribs?
No answer.
- Right here.
They're right here, Chef.
Andrew, look, I'm
trying to control this.
I just need an
answer from you, yes?
Chef, everything's coming
to the hot plate right now.
Yeah, well--
Hello?
Jessica?
- Yes?
Get them back, please,
until the table's complete
so we can go together, yes?
I can't--
Jess, you're coming with
the lasagna, aren't you?
I'm talking to
f*cking Jessica.
They can't serve that
until you're ready.
Yes, Chef.
So I just need you
two talking together.
I'm one minute away,
I'm seconds away.
And try to come
together, please.
And that looks like
a dog's dinner.
I'm going to fix that.
I hope you're
going to fix that.
Jessica.
- Yes, Chef.
Help him.
This is a f*cking nightmare.
NARRATOR: With minutes left
in the second dinner service,
the blue team has sent up very
few of their main courses.
And the customers are
anxious and want answers.
Ramsay!
FEMALE CUSTOMER:
You can't just yell.
You have to go over there.
MALE CUSTOMER: Should
I say something to him?
OK.
I'll ask him.
Chef Ramsay?
- Yes, sir?
- Hi.
Hi.
I want to be really nice.
Yes, OK.
But why does it take so long?
We've been waiting for
an hour and a half.
I'm so sorry.
I can't really do much
about right at the moment
because we're so
far in the shit.
What's your big worry?
- We're hungry!
Yeah, I heard that.
Anything else?
I'm just trying to be
straight up with you.
I'm just trying to be
straight with you, as well.
Feedback.
Feedback is always a best.
Fine.
Anything else?
- No.
- No.
You have a good night.
Yeah, thank you, you
lose some weight.
Service!
Hey, you got off easy.
Can I have the short rib?
Yes.
[inaudible]
Look at that.
Touch the plates.
Jessica.
Yes?
That looks like a
dog's dinner, yes?
Andrew.
Far too much sauce,
not enough pasta.
Just touch the plates first.
- They're cold.
- Cold plates.
- Hot plate.
Shut the f*ck up all three
of you, before one of you
wear one of these.
Hello?
There's your lasagna.
And I want that table again.
All right, Jessica
and Andrew, come here.
Yes, Chef.
Right now, yes?
one, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, , ,
, , , , , tables
to go.
Jimmy!
Yes, Chef.
Get your team here now.
f*ck.
Shut it down, yes?
Finished.
Two hours is gone.
Blue team, Andrew.
Ralph, Jessica, that
was not impressive.
Switch it off.
Clean down.
NARRATOR: The second
dinner service is over.
And the experience of Hell's
Kitchen as a pasta house
has turned out to be
a huge disappointment.
Now, Chef Ramsay must take
into account the performances
in both the kitchen
and the dining room
to decide the losing team.
There's been a very
difficult decision to make.
We made a lot of hard work out
of something very, very simple,
pasta.
And the stats are here
from the customers.
Red team, you actually served
more food than the blue team.
Blue team, you actually
left of your diners
with no main courses.
But according to
the food you served,
it was actually rated
higher than the red.
Your service was good.
Service on the red
team, well, I don't need
to say much about that, do I?
It was pretty dismal.
And you had one more
person in there.
This is the hardest
decision I've had to make.
And the losing team
tonight is the red team.
Jimmy.
Yes, Chef?
You actually managed to
get all starters out.
But unfortunately, every plate
you sent up to the hot plate
was filthy, dirty.
And your service was shocking.
So you won't be nominating.
Michael, you took
care of that desserts.
Feedback, outstanding.
I want you to nominate two
of your team for elimination.
I'll see you in minutes.
Michael, come back
with your two nominees.
And one of you will be
leaving Hell's Kitchen.
Uh, Michael, like I
said to everybody else
before, if it's me, it's
been nothing but a pleasure.
Chef Ramsey really harped on me
about the dishes being clean.
And you know, that will weigh
as a big factor in Michael
choosing who he
wants to nominate.
You all right, babe?
Yeah.
Need another hug?
Yeah.
I'll give you a hug.
It's been great.
I don't know if I'll be able
to keep up with all this.
No, but--
Elsie, don't think like that.
You've been doing
an amazing job.
I came here telling
them the truth.
I am clueless about
this whole scene.
I'm kind of stuck, you know?
Like, with people
that I have to choose.
What would you do if
you had to pick one?
I mean, if it was me, I'd have
to go Jimmy, Elsie, you know?
Like, bottom line, Jimmy
was crap on the floor.
It's so hard.
I don't know what
I'm gonna do, man.
With Elsie, she's, like,
breaking down out there.
And I was trying to bang
out her lasagna, you know?
I don't know what to
tell you, Spidey Mike.
It's a touch choice, you know?
All right.
Let's go do this, man.
I know what to do.
- You know.
This isn't a hard decision.
I want to win.
And you know, they're your
friends, but not really.
The more people that go
and I'm still around,
it's the better for me.
NARRATOR: While the blue
team survived the lasagna
conspiracy, the
red team will say
goodbye to one of their own.
Michael.
Yes, Chef.
Do you have you two
nominees for elimination?
Yes, Chef.
I do.
First nominee and why, please.
My first nominee is Elsie.
During the service tonight,
she was really flustered.
She's one person that
really stuck out to me.
So my decisions were
based upon that.
Elsie's really evolved.
And I'd to hate to have
to nominate her, but I do.
Second nominee and why.
My second nominee is Chris.
I'd love to see it to
the end where you and me
shakes hands and battle it out.
Chris.
- Yes.
- Wow.
Jimmy had such a wonderful
night and he's working so hard.
And he plows through.
And you know, I just couldn't
put him in that position
tonight.
So you chose Chris for
his performance tonight?
Yeah, you know,
well, I chose Chris--
you know, yesterday,
he said he was
the strongest link in our team.
Who's your strongest link?
I believe I'm the
strongest, Chef.
If he really is, he'll be
with us tomorrow to kick ass.
Jimmy.
Yes, Chef?
You've been a b*llet dodger,
a b*llet swallower, well done.
Thank you, Chef.
Elsie and Chris
step forward, please.
Elsie.
Yes, Chef?
Just tell me why you should
stay in Hell's Kitchen.
I've come here with little
knowledge of what it is to run
an establishment like this.
But through it all, I've
learned a great deal,
and I've put my
best foot forward,
and I have not stopped
working hard for my team.
Thank you.
Chris?
Chef.
Tell me why you think you
should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
Well, Chef, I just think that
my work ethic, and my devotion
to my team, and my hard
work will prove to pay off
Hell's Kitchen in the long run.
Tough decision.
- Elsie.
- Yes?
- I need it moving.
- Yes.
Because all I can see
is just prepping here.
You're like a little
maid, just prepping here,
but nothing's actually
happening on the stove.
Two tortellini away.
Oui, Chef.
Cut the toss pot
bullshit, oui, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Chris.
Give me your jacket and
leave Hell's Kitchen.
Thank you.
I was an executive chef.
I worked real hard to get it.
And I'm not ashamed of it.
I belong there.
I belong to be the
last one standing.
So Michael took
the easy way out.
OK, listen, and listen hard.
When someone constantly
tells me how good they are
and constantly self-promotes
but doesn't deliver the goods,
that pisses me off.
So he's gone.
Six of you left,
three on each team.
Get a good night's sleep.
And once again, be prepared
for anything and everything.
Goodnight.
I've just never
been through anything
this stressful in my life.
I've bored kids.
It wasn't this bad.
Chris was
definitely my biggest
competitor on that team.
This is a competition
and there's one winner.
Michael, tonight,
pulled the strategic move.
Maybe it's not experience
that wins this race.
I'm just trying to do
what I can to survive.
When you come to the kitchen
and announce that you are
an executive chef, you
expect a little bit more
than what I got from Chris.
He's been telling
the world that he
has that amount of
knowledge, that he should
have been times better.
