WEBVTT

00:04.000 --> 00:06.520
I cook food for people to eat,
not for the camera. Go!

00:06.600 --> 00:08.639
Are you really selling the business?

00:08.719 --> 00:11.320
I want to sell the restaurant
to someone truly skilled.

00:11.400 --> 00:13.719
-If you're greedy, don't contact me.
-Waste of time.

00:13.799 --> 00:15.239
And what do rich people eat

00:15.319 --> 00:18.000
that can make them so disrespectful?

00:18.080 --> 00:19.360
He's a fan.

00:19.439 --> 00:20.640
Even submitting an application?

00:20.720 --> 00:23.840
I think you're just
getting in the way here.

00:23.919 --> 00:26.160
-Oh, Chef.
-With your hand swollen like this?

00:26.240 --> 00:28.439
Chef, you don't have to get so close.

00:28.520 --> 00:29.720
Aren't you a fan?

00:29.799 --> 00:31.759
You should be happy, not uncomfortable.

00:35.600 --> 00:38.160
Are you the one Methas sent to compete?

00:41.879 --> 00:42.879
Are you crazy, Chef?

00:43.879 --> 00:46.080
How is this possible? How did you know?

00:47.519 --> 00:49.680
Do I really look like
someone Methas would hire?

00:49.760 --> 00:52.239
You've been acting suspicious
since you were following me around.

00:52.320 --> 00:54.120
It’s obvious you can’t cook at all.

00:54.199 --> 00:55.519
You even burnt a fried egg.

00:57.720 --> 00:59.400
Just tell me. I won't hold it against you.

00:59.480 --> 01:03.919
Do you really think I’m Methas’s insider,
or are you just messing with me?

01:04.000 --> 01:05.560
You kicked me out of the restaurant

01:05.640 --> 01:08.160
when I was just trying to
help review and promote the restaurant.

01:08.240 --> 01:10.960
Somehow I ended up
getting blamed for it instead.

01:11.039 --> 01:13.759
If you don't like me, just say so.

01:13.840 --> 01:15.200
Don't make excuses.

01:15.280 --> 01:16.840
I don’t trust you. And I don’t like you.

01:17.840 --> 01:20.160
So you’re kicking me out
of the competition

01:20.240 --> 01:21.399
because you don't like me?

01:21.479 --> 01:22.360
Is that it?

01:22.440 --> 01:23.360
Wow.

01:23.440 --> 01:26.119
Where’s your sense of fairness, Chef?

01:31.080 --> 01:33.080
I found Methas's insider.

01:33.160 --> 01:35.119
NUB NEUNG

01:35.720 --> 01:37.199
I’ll let this slide for now.

01:37.280 --> 01:38.920
Looking at your condition,

01:39.000 --> 01:40.720
I don't need to kick you out.

01:40.800 --> 01:42.759
You probably won't make it
past this round anyway.

01:45.240 --> 01:47.199
Even if the food doesn't look great,

01:47.280 --> 01:50.640
I guarantee the taste
will leave you speechless, Chef.

03:03.160 --> 03:05.040
My dish is Basil Stir-fry with Tofu, Chef.

03:08.120 --> 03:10.040
Minced Pork Basil Stir-Fry
with Creamy Omelet.

03:12.440 --> 03:14.239
Basil Stir-fry
with Crispy Century Egg, Chef.

03:21.560 --> 03:22.920
This?

03:23.000 --> 03:24.440
This would leave me speechless?

03:24.519 --> 03:30.040
I'm presenting the extraordinary in the
ordinary basil stir-fry with minced pork.

03:30.120 --> 03:32.880
The flavors and presentation
may seem a little complex,

03:32.959 --> 03:35.000
but it definitely won't disappoint.

03:49.840 --> 03:51.239
I'd rather lick the floor.

03:51.320 --> 03:52.560
The chili and garlic are burnt.

03:52.640 --> 03:54.480
The flavors aren't complex,

03:54.560 --> 03:56.880
it’s a mess of spicy, salty,
and sweet mixed together.

03:56.959 --> 03:58.000
It's terrible.

04:02.720 --> 04:04.280
Don't take it too hard.

04:04.359 --> 04:07.760
Chef Oab is harsh and serious
when it comes to work.

04:07.839 --> 04:09.040
Don't overthink it.

04:19.479 --> 04:20.320
FIRST ROUND

04:22.120 --> 04:23.599
He's so harsh with the scoring.

04:23.680 --> 04:25.960
If Chef’s gonna nitpick
every little thing,

04:26.039 --> 04:28.599
we might as well bring in
Gordon Ramsay or Jay Fai to compete.

04:29.599 --> 04:31.599
Even if you come in last
this round, it’s okay.

04:31.680 --> 04:32.719
There’s still the next one.

04:36.719 --> 04:38.440
If you get full marks,

04:38.520 --> 04:40.400
you’ve still got a shot at the top three.

04:42.760 --> 04:45.240
My name is Kluer. What's your name?

04:45.320 --> 04:46.640
Plawan.

04:48.560 --> 04:51.560
Interesting name.
Should I call you Pla or Wan?

04:52.159 --> 04:54.039
Call me whatever you want.
It doesn’t matter.

04:54.120 --> 04:55.919
Are you flexing your top score on me?

04:58.560 --> 04:59.680
Everyone,

05:02.320 --> 05:04.440
next is the final test.

05:04.960 --> 05:06.719
But you won't be cooking,

05:06.800 --> 05:08.320
you'll be tasting and critiquing.

05:08.919 --> 05:12.400
Because being a chef
isn’t just about making delicious food.

05:12.479 --> 05:15.960
You also need to analyze flavors
to improve and create something new.

05:16.039 --> 05:17.200
Are you ready?

05:17.280 --> 05:18.320
Yes, Chef.

05:18.400 --> 05:19.520
That way, please.

05:19.599 --> 05:20.440
1ST ROUND, 2ND ROUND, TOTAL SCORE

05:24.440 --> 05:27.120
Someone like you
doesn’t need to try too hard.

05:27.200 --> 05:29.359
Just get ready to pack your bags
and go home.

05:41.680 --> 05:45.400
In front of you are basil stir-fry dishes
from different restaurants.

05:45.479 --> 05:47.880
What you have to do is to taste each one,

05:47.960 --> 05:51.560
describe the flavors
and identify the ingredients.

05:51.640 --> 05:55.200
And most importantly, identify
which restaurant each dish came from.

05:56.200 --> 05:57.440
Name the restuarants too?

05:57.520 --> 05:59.359
Isn't that too difficult, Chef?

05:59.440 --> 06:02.039
Yeah, Chef, they all look similar.

06:02.120 --> 06:03.359
Yes, it's difficult.

06:03.960 --> 06:06.240
But if you claim
to be basil stir-fry experts,

06:06.320 --> 06:07.640
you should be able to do it.

06:07.719 --> 06:09.800
If anyone thinks they can't,

06:11.120 --> 06:12.640
the door is unlocked.

06:13.440 --> 06:14.479
You can leave anytime.

06:15.320 --> 06:16.760
Any more complaints?

06:19.080 --> 06:21.599
The scores from this round
will be combined with the previous one.

06:22.120 --> 06:25.520
Only the top three scorers will move on.

06:29.159 --> 06:30.359
You may start tasting.

07:09.599 --> 07:10.479
May I answer?

07:13.799 --> 07:14.840
Are you sure?

07:16.520 --> 07:18.239
You only get one chance.

07:19.000 --> 07:20.680
If you get it wrong, you get zero points.

07:25.440 --> 07:27.719
The first dish has a mild flavor,

07:27.799 --> 07:30.320
slightly salty from the heavy use
of dark soy sauce.

07:30.400 --> 07:31.520
You can tell from the color.

07:31.599 --> 07:35.080
It uses large-leaf basil
which isn't very fragrant.

07:35.159 --> 07:37.560
It also has bird's eye chili
and Thai garlic,

07:37.640 --> 07:39.039
with a medium level of spiciness.

07:39.120 --> 07:41.760
This dish has the most sauce
among the three.

07:41.840 --> 07:44.520
The fried egg is perfectly cooked
with a runny yolk.

07:44.599 --> 07:46.520
The rice is fragrant, soft,
and well-separated.

07:46.599 --> 07:50.120
I think this is the basil stir-fry
from Khun Noo's restaurant in Siam.

07:50.200 --> 07:51.039
Am I correct?

07:56.680 --> 07:57.719
I'll go on.

07:57.799 --> 07:59.000
The second dish uses red basil,

07:59.080 --> 08:01.200
which has a strong basil and spice aroma.

08:01.280 --> 08:03.080
A dry stir-fry,
somewhat traditional style.

08:03.159 --> 08:04.880
The egg white is crispy with a runny yolk.

08:05.560 --> 08:08.440
This must be from
Jay Aor's place near Ratchawat.

08:08.520 --> 08:11.359
The third dish uses wild white basil,

08:11.440 --> 08:13.520
which has the best aroma for this dish.

08:13.599 --> 08:16.520
It's not too overpowering,
and the taste is perfectly balanced.

08:16.599 --> 08:18.359
However, the fried egg is a bit too oily.

08:18.440 --> 08:19.520
Must be from Chao Krueng Basil restaurant,

08:19.599 --> 08:21.000
just two streets away from here.

08:21.080 --> 08:22.359
Is that correct?

08:24.400 --> 08:25.599
Yeah.

08:27.359 --> 08:29.799
Did I get everything right, Chef?

08:30.320 --> 08:32.559
What's my score for this round?

08:34.679 --> 08:35.559
Ten out of ten.

08:39.400 --> 08:42.319
Well, sorry about that.

08:42.400 --> 08:45.280
Turns out I won't be tossed aside easily,

08:45.360 --> 08:49.240
like the long beans
in the basil stir-fry you don't like.

09:01.240 --> 09:02.079
SECOND ROUND

09:04.280 --> 09:05.959
TOTAL SCORE

09:06.040 --> 09:08.280
Oh, just one spot away.

09:10.199 --> 09:13.040
Congratulations to those
who made it to the top three.

09:16.360 --> 09:18.640
You have proven to be skilled enough

09:19.319 --> 09:21.720
to train with me for one month.

09:21.800 --> 09:23.560
However, I have an announcement.

09:23.640 --> 09:28.880
One of the finalists
has a deal with Mr. Methas, or MT Group.

09:34.920 --> 09:38.040
Will you confess yourself,
or should I reveal your name?

09:53.600 --> 09:55.800
I already told you I'm not the insider.

09:55.880 --> 09:57.560
Why are you always picking on me?

09:59.760 --> 10:01.079
Did I say it was you?

10:14.439 --> 10:15.640
It's not me, Chef.

10:16.240 --> 10:18.079
How could I be involved
with someone like him?

10:18.680 --> 10:20.319
I'm just a regular cook.

10:22.680 --> 10:24.079
I don't make baseless accusations.

10:34.560 --> 10:36.160
That photo is not me, Chef.

10:44.720 --> 10:48.439
I think you should leave my restaurant
before I have to drag you out.

10:49.040 --> 10:50.319
Go!

11:05.760 --> 11:09.160
So does that mean
the next person in line moves up?

11:10.160 --> 11:11.959
The rules didn't state

11:12.040 --> 11:14.800
that if someone forfeits,
the next in line moves up.

11:16.199 --> 11:18.439
But that’s basically
the standard rule, isn’t it?

11:18.520 --> 11:22.640
If there's no third place,
the next highest scorer should move up.

11:23.880 --> 11:26.719
But you're not the only one
in fourth place.

11:27.319 --> 11:29.480
Punsib also has the same score as you.

11:29.560 --> 11:31.000
If we need to fill the spot,

11:31.520 --> 11:34.240
you and Punsib will have to
compete again to decide the winner.

11:35.079 --> 11:36.120
How about that?

11:40.240 --> 11:41.400
Chef,

11:41.480 --> 11:44.880
why don't we let both Punsib and Plawan
move on to the next round?

11:44.959 --> 11:48.800
The rules never actually said
only three people could advance.

11:48.880 --> 11:51.800
Chef only mentioned
the top three rankings.

11:51.880 --> 11:53.880
If there are two people
tied for third place,

11:53.959 --> 11:55.719
why not let both advance?

11:58.560 --> 11:59.400
That's right.

11:59.480 --> 12:03.400
The rules aren't explicit,
so both of us should have a chance.

12:04.120 --> 12:06.400
Chef, please reconsider.

12:06.480 --> 12:08.319
I've worked really hard for this.

12:15.800 --> 12:17.160
Did I make it?

12:17.680 --> 12:18.719
Yes!

12:24.120 --> 12:25.120
Hey?

12:28.280 --> 12:29.719
I'll remind you again.

12:33.800 --> 12:35.240
Chef, please reconsider.

12:35.319 --> 12:37.400
I've worked really hard for this.

12:41.360 --> 12:42.240
Or…

12:43.280 --> 12:45.959
are you going to swallow your own words?

12:46.040 --> 12:47.599
No sense of fairness,

12:47.680 --> 12:49.880
and he treats competitors unfairly?

12:50.760 --> 12:52.640
I can go to the press and report

12:53.560 --> 12:57.319
that Chef Oab is a fraud and a scammer.

12:59.240 --> 13:00.959
That would be big news.

13:02.920 --> 13:04.000
What's their number?

13:04.079 --> 13:05.079
Fine.

13:07.160 --> 13:09.199
Both of you can go on to train with me.

13:09.839 --> 13:10.760
-Yes!
-Oh, yes!

13:11.280 --> 13:12.599
Yes!

13:16.680 --> 13:18.920
The training starts next Monday.

13:19.439 --> 13:20.719
Be prepared.

13:21.360 --> 13:22.480
Yes, Chef.

13:37.120 --> 13:40.280
A fan like you,
if you're not serious, just step back.

13:41.400 --> 13:43.079
People like you will never succeed.

14:00.240 --> 14:02.680
Oh come on! Do you think I'm scared?

14:03.640 --> 14:05.599
Chef's mean as hell.

14:05.680 --> 14:08.319
A fan?
Who would want to be a fan of yours?

14:15.439 --> 14:17.040
We made it!

14:18.319 --> 14:20.599
Money, here I come.

14:23.520 --> 14:26.520
Hey, that's enough.

14:27.280 --> 14:29.839
Aren't you taking painkillers?

14:29.920 --> 14:31.479
Don't overdo it.

14:31.560 --> 14:34.760
Honestly, you shouldn't
even be drinking alcohol.

14:35.400 --> 14:38.800
Come on, it's just once in a while.

14:38.880 --> 14:40.680
I don't celebrate often.

14:40.760 --> 14:44.000
After all this time,
I've been auditioning for so long,

14:44.079 --> 14:47.680
and this is the first time in months
that I've passed an audition.

14:47.760 --> 14:49.760
Just let me celebrate a little.

14:49.839 --> 14:51.920
But you have to wake up early tomorrow.

14:52.000 --> 14:54.319
You have to deal with that Methas guy.

14:54.400 --> 14:55.880
Are you ready for that?

14:57.439 --> 14:58.880
I've got it all planned out.

14:58.959 --> 15:04.040
I'm going to ask him
for a million baht as payment.

15:05.079 --> 15:07.199
A million? That's too little.
Ask for one and a half.

15:08.800 --> 15:10.199
What the hell?

15:10.959 --> 15:12.040
One and a half million?

15:12.120 --> 15:14.360
Wow, Mr. JJ,

15:14.439 --> 15:16.400
you're even greedier than I am.

15:16.479 --> 15:19.920
Weren't you the one who told me not to
take this job because it's unethical?

15:20.520 --> 15:23.680
I'm not greedy,
but you never listen to me.

15:23.760 --> 15:25.439
You insisted on taking this job anyway.

15:25.520 --> 15:28.680
So, you might as well make the most of it.

15:29.319 --> 15:31.920
You need to beat Mr. Methas.

15:32.560 --> 15:35.479
Someone who looks down on
others just because he's rich

15:35.560 --> 15:37.640
deserves to get ripped off,

15:37.719 --> 15:39.479
so they'll understand
how poor people feel.

15:42.319 --> 15:43.199
It's so frustrating!

15:45.120 --> 15:47.479
But do you think he'll really give me
that much money?

15:49.000 --> 15:50.400
What are you scared of?

15:51.240 --> 15:52.240
Look at this.

15:54.000 --> 15:54.880
See?

15:55.479 --> 15:58.680
Mr. Methas is already
taking bookings for vendor spaces

15:58.760 --> 16:01.400
even though he hasn't bought
the land from Chef Oab yet.

16:01.479 --> 16:04.359
Even if you ask for more money,
he'll still hire you.

16:04.439 --> 16:05.719
Trust me.

16:17.920 --> 16:18.920
No way.

16:19.000 --> 16:21.000
I will never pay you that much.

16:21.839 --> 16:24.000
Wait, Mr. Methas. We can negotiate.

16:24.079 --> 16:25.120
Five hundred thousand.

16:25.199 --> 16:27.680
That's all I can give you.
Take it or leave it.

16:28.680 --> 16:29.839
How can that be?

16:29.920 --> 16:32.680
This is way less than
the amount you first offered.

16:33.280 --> 16:35.800
You were looking for
someone to infiltrate the competition.

16:36.400 --> 16:38.240
You were offering a million baht, right?

16:38.319 --> 16:43.959
I'm not a foolish businessman
you can squeeze for money.

16:44.040 --> 16:46.640
A deal from before doesn’t mean
it stays the same today.

16:46.719 --> 16:49.760
Just 500,000 baht is all I'm offering.

16:50.280 --> 16:51.120
Are you taking it?

16:54.199 --> 16:55.079
That amount of money

16:55.880 --> 17:00.800
is more than enough to keep
someone like you going for a long time.

17:01.520 --> 17:03.719
You're not getting
many modeling gigs lately, right?

17:04.319 --> 17:06.440
I'm helping you as much as I can.

17:09.480 --> 17:10.480
How about 600,000?

17:11.399 --> 17:12.440
No!

17:12.960 --> 17:14.720
No discounts.

17:15.960 --> 17:17.680
Stop it, Wan.

17:17.760 --> 17:19.399
You don't need to negotiate anything.

17:19.480 --> 17:21.919
Can't you see
he's taking advantage of you?

17:22.000 --> 17:25.800
Seeing people struggle
and lowering the price even more.

17:25.879 --> 17:27.800
That’s not very gentlemanly of you.

17:27.879 --> 17:31.040
I'm a businessman, not a saint.

17:31.840 --> 17:35.080
JJ, isn't 600,000 still a lot?

17:35.159 --> 17:38.320
I barely have 1,000
in my account right now.

17:38.840 --> 17:41.360
If you don't get 1.5 million,
don't take it.

17:41.960 --> 17:44.520
No, if Wan doesn't get two million…

17:44.600 --> 17:46.720
you don't need to hire my friend
for this job anymore.

17:53.200 --> 17:54.720
Are you out of your mind?

17:54.800 --> 17:56.639
I wouldn't even pay a million,

17:56.720 --> 17:58.320
and now you're asking for two million?

17:58.399 --> 17:59.240
Are you crazy?

17:59.320 --> 18:04.200
JJ, all the people you sent in
got caught and kicked out, didn’t they?

18:05.560 --> 18:07.919
Even if my friend looks a little clueless,

18:08.000 --> 18:09.639
he's made it through the selection round,

18:10.360 --> 18:11.960
which means he has a chance to win

18:12.040 --> 18:13.760
and become the restaurant's successor.

18:13.840 --> 18:17.440
Your people couldn't do that.

18:17.520 --> 18:19.680
If you don't hire Plawan,

18:20.200 --> 18:22.639
you'll have to negotiate
with the other finalists.

18:23.320 --> 18:26.320
And they won't be as accommodating
as the two of us.

18:26.399 --> 18:28.480
This is already a very generous price.

18:28.560 --> 18:30.760
Or if you don't want to pay two million,

18:30.840 --> 18:34.399
I can always take this offer
to 2B Development instead.

18:34.480 --> 18:36.280
They're your real estate competitors,
aren't they?

18:37.080 --> 18:40.520
If I offer them the deal for 1.5 million,

18:41.520 --> 18:42.679
they'd probably take it.

18:43.320 --> 18:47.240
Then you can deal
with your competitors yourself.

18:47.320 --> 18:51.240
Alright, but I'm still not confident
in your friend.

18:51.760 --> 18:53.560
I'll pay 5% upfront.

18:53.639 --> 18:56.520
If he succeeds, I’ll pay the rest.

18:56.600 --> 18:58.520
Thirty percent upfront,

18:58.600 --> 19:02.480
another thirty
after he passes the first test,

19:02.560 --> 19:06.320
and the final forty
after securing the restaurant.

19:06.399 --> 19:10.639
How can I be sure your friend will win?

19:10.720 --> 19:12.800
Every investment carries risk.

19:12.879 --> 19:16.159
You're a businessman,
you know this is a basic lesson.

19:20.320 --> 19:21.200
What do you say?

19:22.040 --> 19:24.879
Our time is valuable too.

19:26.960 --> 19:27.800
Agreed.

19:29.120 --> 19:32.200
But if your friend doesn't win
and can't get me the land,

19:32.280 --> 19:36.679
he will have to return
every single baht to me.

19:44.520 --> 19:47.320
Hey, JJ, how can you make
such a promise to Mr. Methas?

19:47.399 --> 19:50.280
Once the money's in my pocket,
I'm not giving it back!

19:50.879 --> 19:52.919
Can you shut up, Wan?

19:53.000 --> 19:55.720
Can't you see he's writing you a check?

19:55.800 --> 19:56.720
Look over there.

19:58.280 --> 20:00.000
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND BAHT ONLY

20:02.600 --> 20:05.440
The first payment is 30%
of the two million.

20:06.120 --> 20:07.200
Thank you.

20:07.879 --> 20:09.280
Just signing isn't enough.

20:09.360 --> 20:11.960
I don't trust a businessman like you.

20:12.720 --> 20:14.800
Please send over the contract later.

20:16.159 --> 20:17.200
Thanks.

20:23.200 --> 20:25.480
Sure, do as my friend said.

20:25.560 --> 20:27.800
Goodbye, Mr. Methas. See you.

20:36.639 --> 20:38.280
JJ.

20:38.360 --> 20:39.720
-JJ?
-What?

20:39.800 --> 20:41.800
How could you make a deal
like that with Mr. Methas?

20:41.879 --> 20:44.360
If I don't win,
I won't have the money to pay him back.

20:44.440 --> 20:46.159
We're talking hundreds of thousands here.

20:47.360 --> 20:48.879
Then you just have to win.

20:48.960 --> 20:53.200
Oh man, just passing the first round
was tough enough.

20:53.280 --> 20:55.080
And the other three who made it through

20:56.000 --> 20:56.960
are incredibly talented.

20:57.040 --> 20:58.280
There's no way I can beat them.

20:59.600 --> 21:03.120
Can you try thinking positively for once?
Manifest it.

21:03.200 --> 21:05.600
You passed the first round, didn't you?

21:05.679 --> 21:08.159
If you try hard, you can win.

21:08.240 --> 21:11.399
We're this far in,
there's no turning back.

21:12.720 --> 21:16.360
Besides, whether you win or not,

21:16.440 --> 21:18.159
you have no money right now anyway.

21:18.240 --> 21:20.240
So, you have nothing to lose.

21:20.320 --> 21:24.639
At worst, I'll lend you the money
to pay back Mr. Methas.

21:25.440 --> 21:27.040
But if it comes to that,

21:27.120 --> 21:29.960
we're done as friends.

21:35.919 --> 21:38.120
Alright, alright. I have to win.

21:38.200 --> 21:39.760
It's almost a million.

21:42.080 --> 21:44.520
But does training to become the successor

21:44.600 --> 21:47.360
mean you have to live
at Chef Oab’s restaurant?

21:48.240 --> 21:50.800
Is the chef world really this brutal?

21:50.879 --> 21:55.480
I'll be under Chef Oab's watch 24 hours.

21:55.560 --> 21:56.960
I don't even have personal space.

21:57.040 --> 22:00.159
What if the deal with Methas gets exposed?

22:00.240 --> 22:03.800
You’re scared before anything
even happens. Why are you such a coward?

22:03.879 --> 22:05.360
Since when did you become one?

22:05.439 --> 22:09.360
Since I realized that if I lose,
I'll have to repay Mr. Methas

22:09.439 --> 22:12.000
hundreds of thousands.
I was this close to having it easy.

22:15.600 --> 22:17.760
Unbelievable.
You've always been like this.

22:19.480 --> 22:22.280
It's lucky that I sent you
the picture in time.

22:22.360 --> 22:23.200
Otherwise,

22:24.000 --> 22:25.800
you'd have one of
his insiders as a candidate.

22:27.879 --> 22:30.560
If they get in, I can still kick them out.

22:31.159 --> 22:32.360
Cooking requires real passion.

22:32.439 --> 22:35.879
If you don't truly love it,
you can't fake this kind of thing.

22:35.960 --> 22:39.760
I understand,
but you still need to be cautious.

22:39.840 --> 22:43.320
I'm not sure if there are
more of Methas's insiders left.

22:43.399 --> 22:46.679
My source only gave me one photo,

22:47.200 --> 22:51.040
but that doesn't mean the other
four finalists aren't working for him.

22:51.879 --> 22:52.919
We'll find out soon enough.

22:53.439 --> 22:57.560
If Metas's insiders are still here,
it won't be hard to catch them.

23:00.439 --> 23:02.600
Have you talked to Khaosuay?

23:04.720 --> 23:06.159
I did.

23:06.240 --> 23:08.600
I just told her to call the professor.

23:08.679 --> 23:09.520
Just that.

23:11.560 --> 23:12.919
Because no matter what,

23:13.000 --> 23:15.000
his surgery is the most important thing.

23:15.080 --> 23:17.040
When is Khaosuay coming back?

23:17.960 --> 23:20.159
I want Professor to get the surgery
as soon as possible.

23:23.120 --> 23:24.960
I didn't ask her that directly.

23:26.679 --> 23:29.399
We have to respect Professor's decision.

23:30.919 --> 23:32.800
It's a family matter.

23:42.240 --> 23:43.080
Right.

23:43.919 --> 23:44.840
Over there.

23:47.320 --> 23:50.080
Hey, Wan, are you taking all of this?

23:50.879 --> 23:53.360
Yeah, I'm going to be there
for a whole month.

23:55.040 --> 23:56.840
Do you know what laundry means?

23:56.919 --> 23:57.960
Doing laundry?

23:58.040 --> 24:02.240
You're going to be a chef,
not walking in a fashion week.

24:03.720 --> 24:04.840
Or maybe this one? Hey!

24:04.919 --> 24:08.480
You shouldn’t be
wearing clothes this fancy.

24:09.520 --> 24:10.480
Give it to me.

24:13.720 --> 24:15.639
No, no, none of these.

24:15.720 --> 24:17.480
If I dress like this,

24:18.639 --> 24:20.080
Chef Oab will definitely know.

24:21.879 --> 24:24.360
Because my model aura
is gonna shine through.

24:25.679 --> 24:27.280
-Fine, not these.
-So,

24:27.800 --> 24:32.000
if you get the money,
will you still do modeling?

24:32.080 --> 24:33.240
Well,

24:33.760 --> 24:35.080
I don't know yet.

24:35.159 --> 24:38.320
Then after this gig,
you need to find a real job.

24:38.399 --> 24:42.159
Running around casting for
modeling gigs isn't working out.

24:42.240 --> 24:45.679
You know you don't get big jobs often.

24:45.760 --> 24:49.360
You need to think about your future.

24:51.520 --> 24:52.840
You told me to get a job

24:52.919 --> 24:54.200
and I've been thinking.

24:54.280 --> 24:55.679
But I can't think of anything.

24:56.200 --> 24:57.720
If you can think of any, let me know.

25:00.800 --> 25:03.840
Alright, alright.
We'll figure it out together.

25:04.360 --> 25:08.320
Some people start
their businesses in their 40s or 50s.

25:08.919 --> 25:11.399
You'll have your time, too.

25:14.639 --> 25:17.840
But whatever business I do
has to involve my looks somehow, right?

25:19.800 --> 25:21.280
I'm so handsome,

25:21.879 --> 25:23.439
it would be a waste not to use it.

25:24.480 --> 25:26.080
Damn right.

25:26.159 --> 25:27.399
-So stylish.
-I really do

25:27.480 --> 25:29.399
waste my time worrying about you.

25:29.480 --> 25:32.919
Having you around is like
having a kid, you know?

25:33.000 --> 25:34.399
You idiot!

25:36.120 --> 25:37.639
You're such a strict dad.

25:44.040 --> 25:46.600
I humbly ask the spirits of this place
to watch over me

25:46.679 --> 25:49.280
and move Chef Oab’s heart…

25:50.520 --> 25:53.199
so I can win this competition.

25:53.280 --> 25:54.760
If I manage to sell the restaurant,

25:54.840 --> 25:59.439
you’ll live with someone richer,
younger, more handsome,

25:59.520 --> 26:01.480
and ten times kinder than Chef Oab.

26:05.240 --> 26:06.560
They have acknowledged it.

26:11.159 --> 26:12.240
Hey, what are you shooting?

26:12.840 --> 26:14.639
Who told you to film? Delete it!

26:20.919 --> 26:22.639
You guys are here.

26:22.720 --> 26:24.679
Welcome.

26:25.320 --> 26:26.720
You talk like you own the place.

26:35.040 --> 26:37.320
This outfit is quite expensive.

26:38.879 --> 26:42.960
I usually dress like this.
I forgot others might not.

26:43.040 --> 26:46.240
It's okay, it adds some flair.

26:46.960 --> 26:49.520
But it's expensive.
If it gets dirty, you'll regret it.

26:49.600 --> 26:51.520
Next time, dress simpler. Trust me.

26:52.439 --> 26:54.000
Alright, thanks.

26:56.600 --> 26:57.639
Welcome, everyone.

27:02.040 --> 27:06.600
Let me go over the rules again
in case anyone wants to back out.

27:07.199 --> 27:09.720
This training isn't child's play.

27:09.800 --> 27:12.360
You'll be doing real work
and rotating through all tasks,

27:12.960 --> 27:14.760
from buying and prepping ingredients

27:14.840 --> 27:17.120
to cooking, serving,
and cleaning the kitchen.

27:17.199 --> 27:19.439
Every week, someone will be eliminated.

27:19.520 --> 27:21.840
Everything you do
will count toward your total score.

27:21.919 --> 27:24.159
From now on, you're all competitors.

27:24.240 --> 27:26.199
The last person standing
will be the winner.

27:26.960 --> 27:30.439
Kluer, you used to work here,
so you handle the room arrangements.

27:30.520 --> 27:31.560
Yes, Chef.

27:31.639 --> 27:33.040
Every minute counts.

27:33.120 --> 27:35.240
Go unpack and meet me
in the kitchen in ten minutes.

27:35.840 --> 27:37.000
-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.

27:37.080 --> 27:38.120
Yes, Chef.

27:38.720 --> 27:39.919
Follow me.

27:44.720 --> 27:46.639
I'll give you a quick tour.

27:47.159 --> 27:51.240
The second floor is the staff living area.
There are two rooms

27:51.320 --> 27:52.480
and one bathroom.

27:53.720 --> 27:56.040
One bathroom? A shared one?

27:56.120 --> 27:57.159
Yes, it is.

27:57.240 --> 28:01.960
So we have to share a bathroom
and take turns showering?

28:02.760 --> 28:03.919
It's not that bad.

28:04.000 --> 28:06.040
We just take turns showering.

28:06.120 --> 28:08.560
Let's hurry and unpack
so we can head to the kitchen.

28:08.639 --> 28:10.280
Punsib, you're sharing a room with Auto.

28:10.360 --> 28:11.480
This is your room.

28:11.560 --> 28:14.320
Plawan, you're with me. This way.

28:14.399 --> 28:17.240
Alright, I'll quickly unpack
before we run out of time.

28:17.320 --> 28:18.280
You got a lot of stuff.

28:18.360 --> 28:21.360
Keep it organized.
Don’t let it get in my way.

28:21.879 --> 28:23.879
Okay, you pick your bed first.

28:23.960 --> 28:25.080
Oh, and one more thing.

28:25.159 --> 28:28.720
The number one rule here is
absolutely no going up to the third floor.

28:28.800 --> 28:29.639
Why not?

28:30.240 --> 28:31.840
The third floor is off-limits.

28:31.919 --> 28:33.639
Only Chef Oab is allowed up there.

28:33.720 --> 28:35.800
If there are any other rules,
send them in the chat.

28:35.879 --> 28:37.879
We have less than five minutes.

28:37.959 --> 28:39.399
Shouldn't we hurry up.

28:41.280 --> 28:42.480
See you downstairs.

28:58.639 --> 28:59.840
Are you an actor?

29:00.520 --> 29:02.320
You look familiar,
like I've seen you on TV.

29:06.280 --> 29:08.520
You know, I do watch some TV commercials.

29:08.600 --> 29:12.120
It's kind of exciting
being around someone famous.

29:16.360 --> 29:20.360
Hey, come on, I'm not that famous.

29:20.879 --> 29:21.800
You’re exaggerating.

29:32.879 --> 29:34.280
Don't stress too much.

29:34.360 --> 29:36.560
Even though Chef seems to be hard on you,

29:36.639 --> 29:38.360
he's actually very kind.

29:38.439 --> 29:39.760
You'll see in time.

29:39.840 --> 29:42.959
Just don't make him angry
and avoid mentioning a certain thing, uh…

29:45.919 --> 29:47.199
One minute left.

29:47.879 --> 29:48.919
Damn it.

29:49.000 --> 29:50.360
Can you stop rushing for once?

29:50.439 --> 29:51.480
Let's go.

29:52.120 --> 29:53.000
Quick!

30:01.679 --> 30:02.600
Enough with sharpening.

30:02.679 --> 30:04.159
-Start chopping already.
-Yeah, Chef.

30:04.760 --> 30:06.600
How can you slice with a dull knife?

30:06.679 --> 30:08.280
Sharpen it again or get a new one.

30:08.360 --> 30:10.760
-Hurry up, Kluer.
-Yeah, Chef.

30:15.879 --> 30:16.800
What are you doing?

30:18.280 --> 30:19.600
I'm chopping carrots, Chef.

30:19.679 --> 30:20.879
To make the stock, right?

30:20.959 --> 30:22.320
When making stock, focus on speed.

30:22.399 --> 30:23.520
No need to be so meticulous.

30:23.600 --> 30:25.000
It's not for cooking nor offerings.

30:25.080 --> 30:27.480
What should I do?

30:27.560 --> 30:29.080
Get your posture right.

30:31.199 --> 30:32.199
How?

30:35.080 --> 30:37.560
Keep standing like that
and you'll wreck your back.

30:37.639 --> 30:39.199
The orthopedist is waiting for you.

30:40.199 --> 30:41.280
Spread your legs more.

30:42.959 --> 30:43.959
Just tell me, Chef.

30:45.159 --> 30:46.360
Hey!

30:47.760 --> 30:49.639
Adjust yourself
to the height of the counter.

30:52.080 --> 30:53.000
Hold the knife.

30:55.600 --> 30:57.879
Chop.

30:59.120 --> 31:00.399
Chop like this into three chunks.

31:01.000 --> 31:02.399
Stock needs to be made every day

31:02.480 --> 31:04.520
and must be the first thing done
in the morning.

31:04.600 --> 31:06.919
If you're this slow,
customers won't get to eat.

31:07.919 --> 31:08.800
Get another carrot.

31:22.199 --> 31:23.040
Chop.

31:42.080 --> 31:43.879
The aroma of basil smells great.

31:46.320 --> 31:48.720
-What's this?
-Yes, Chef?

31:48.800 --> 31:50.439
I'm not letting you stir-fry anytime soon.

31:50.520 --> 31:52.159
Just prep the ingredients properly first.

31:52.800 --> 31:54.240
Got it, Chef.

31:54.320 --> 31:56.040
Hurry up, there's more to be done.

31:56.120 --> 31:56.959
Yeah, Chef.

32:11.199 --> 32:14.800
Why does someone
so harsh have to smell so good?

32:16.000 --> 32:17.159
I want to eat, Chef.

32:17.240 --> 32:19.639
Oh no, I want to eat basil stir-fry.

32:38.120 --> 32:41.080
Why is just prepping ingredients
so exhausting?

32:41.719 --> 32:43.320
And I have to wake up early tomorrow too.

32:43.399 --> 32:45.080
With such a meticulous chef,

32:45.159 --> 32:48.000
it's five times as tiring compared
to other restaurants.

32:48.080 --> 32:49.879
Where did you train as a chef before this?

32:53.439 --> 32:56.760
I never trained seriously.
I just wanted to give it a try.

32:58.840 --> 33:00.240
Then why choose this restaurant?

33:00.320 --> 33:03.600
Anyone who’s seen Chef Oab
on TV would be scared of him.

33:03.679 --> 33:05.639
He criticizes harshly on the show.

33:09.199 --> 33:10.959
I came here once and liked the food.

33:11.040 --> 33:12.959
I see.

33:14.520 --> 33:16.000
A fan, huh?

33:16.080 --> 33:19.199
Working with your idol
can be disappointing.

33:19.280 --> 33:20.480
Don't get too upset.

33:53.600 --> 33:55.719
Hey, Auto, want to take a picture?

33:59.480 --> 34:01.879
Auto, can I get your IG?

34:01.959 --> 34:02.959
I don't have an IG.

34:12.239 --> 34:13.159
Found it.

34:13.239 --> 34:14.960
Auto with five O's, right?

34:15.040 --> 34:17.159
I sent you a request, accept it please.

34:20.279 --> 34:21.600
Do we have to be friends?

34:25.279 --> 34:26.239
What the hell is this?

34:27.719 --> 34:29.000
Fine, accepted.

34:29.719 --> 34:30.880
Thanks.

34:34.239 --> 34:35.600
You usually cook Chinese food?

34:35.679 --> 34:36.920
I saw it all over your feed.

34:37.000 --> 34:39.279
Just trained a bit, I don’t cook it often.

34:42.799 --> 34:44.759
What are you waiting for? Just go already.

34:44.839 --> 34:46.279
So annoying.

34:52.440 --> 34:53.440
What's wrong with him?

34:53.520 --> 34:55.520
Let’s check out Kluer’s profile.

34:56.120 --> 34:58.600
Wow, he's famous in Khon Kaen

34:58.680 --> 35:00.400
and owns a gold shop.

35:00.920 --> 35:02.160
Let's see Plawan’s profile.

35:04.360 --> 35:05.440
I'm starving.

35:08.200 --> 35:10.799
Why would a celebrity want to be a chef?

35:11.400 --> 35:12.839
He's not that famous.

35:12.920 --> 35:15.319
If he were, he'd be on TV like Chef Oab.

35:15.400 --> 35:16.240
MODEL - YOUTUBER - BASIL CONNOISSEURE

35:16.319 --> 35:19.040
But Plawan is a real
basil stir-fry expert.

35:19.120 --> 35:23.360
Aren’t you curious why Plawan has nothing
related to cooking on his profile

35:23.440 --> 35:25.160
and barely has any kitchen skills?

35:32.160 --> 35:33.480
Just sleep.

35:41.520 --> 35:43.839
Investigate the restaurant's
income and expenses.

35:43.920 --> 35:46.440
I want to know how bad
things really are financially.

35:46.520 --> 35:48.839
METHAS

36:29.080 --> 36:30.200
What are you doing?

36:35.799 --> 36:36.880
Uh…

36:38.560 --> 36:40.040
What are you doing here so late?

36:40.120 --> 36:42.200
Well, I…

36:42.279 --> 36:43.400
What are you doing?

36:44.759 --> 36:47.799
I'm hungry, so I came down
to find something to eat.

36:49.319 --> 36:50.160
Hungry?

36:51.040 --> 36:52.080
What are you doing here?

36:52.160 --> 36:54.000
Why didn't you go to the kitchen?

36:56.920 --> 37:00.160
I didn't want to use the gas stove
and make a mess in the kitchen.

37:00.839 --> 37:03.839
So I thought I'd order something instead.

37:04.680 --> 37:06.600
Look, here's my order.

37:15.040 --> 37:16.480
Let me see.

37:17.400 --> 37:18.520
Plawan,

37:19.600 --> 37:20.720
still haven't found anything to eat?

37:23.600 --> 37:25.120
Not yet.

37:25.200 --> 37:27.680
I just opened the app to order.

37:27.759 --> 37:29.720
and Chef happened to walk in right then.

37:29.799 --> 37:31.160
Want anything? I can order for you.

37:32.359 --> 37:33.520
Chef, do you want anything?

37:34.759 --> 37:38.200
No, but clean up after you're done.

37:44.480 --> 37:45.560
What are you going to eat?

37:48.440 --> 37:49.359
You're hungry, right?

37:49.440 --> 37:51.560
I heard your stomach
growling from upstairs.

37:53.240 --> 37:55.520
You don't have to order.
I'll cook for you.

37:59.440 --> 38:00.640
Come on.

38:03.600 --> 38:05.759
What do you want to eat?
I'll cook something for you.

38:12.279 --> 38:15.400
MAMA

38:15.480 --> 38:17.359
Minced pork basil instant noodles, maybe?

38:20.240 --> 38:22.160
Okay, got it.

38:26.359 --> 38:27.279
Do you need any help?

38:30.200 --> 38:31.600
Can you prep chilis and garlic?

38:32.400 --> 38:33.279
Alright.

38:48.759 --> 38:49.600
Done.

38:49.680 --> 38:51.080
Let’s see how it tastes.

38:55.319 --> 38:56.799
It smells amazing.

38:56.880 --> 38:58.480
Okay, I'm going to eat now.

39:12.920 --> 39:14.520
You must be really hungry.

39:17.400 --> 39:19.520
Eat slowly, you might choke.

39:19.600 --> 39:21.279
It's very rich in flavor.

39:25.920 --> 39:29.680
You've had a grumpy face
because you don't like me, or because

39:32.240 --> 39:34.000
you were hungry?

39:35.640 --> 39:38.359
I know you see me as a competitor,

39:39.440 --> 39:41.640
but isn't it better to have friends
than enemies?

39:43.440 --> 39:45.640
Just so you know,

39:46.680 --> 39:49.680
I don't see you as a competitor or enemy.

39:49.759 --> 39:52.560
A restaurant can't be run
by one person alone.

39:53.160 --> 39:54.839
We have to work together.

39:58.880 --> 39:59.720
I see.

40:06.080 --> 40:08.960
Alright. Let's be friends then.

40:09.600 --> 40:13.279
Consider it a thank you for making me
this delicious meal tonight.

40:15.839 --> 40:17.080
Just like that?

40:23.480 --> 40:24.920
Alright, I'll keep eating.

40:25.600 --> 40:27.120
Finish it all.

40:27.200 --> 40:29.520
No problem, I can handle it.

40:31.000 --> 40:31.960
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE

40:32.040 --> 40:33.359
This is a chef's table restaurant,

40:33.440 --> 40:35.240
serving customers in two rounds a day.

40:35.319 --> 40:36.720
The first round is arriving soon.

40:36.799 --> 40:38.040
Today’s stations are

40:38.120 --> 40:40.200
dishwashing, stir-frying,
frying, and customer service.

40:40.279 --> 40:41.040
Who's doing what?

40:41.120 --> 40:42.799
-Stir-frying.
-Frying.

40:43.480 --> 40:44.759
I'll handle customer service.

40:46.279 --> 40:48.319
Wan, you'll be washing dishes.

40:48.400 --> 40:50.359
Like I said, everything is scored.

40:50.440 --> 40:51.440
If anyone makes a mistake,

40:51.520 --> 40:53.200
don’t expect to work
in this kitchen again.

40:53.279 --> 40:54.279
-Yeah, Chef.
-Yeah, Chef.

40:54.359 --> 40:55.319
Let's start.

40:59.000 --> 40:59.960
Doesn't seem hard.

41:00.040 --> 41:01.960
Why are the others fighting over stations?

41:02.040 --> 41:03.319
Washing dishes is easy.

41:04.120 --> 41:07.960
It's because everyone wants to
show their skills to Chef.

41:08.040 --> 41:10.920
If Chef sees your skills,
you might get extra points.

41:11.520 --> 41:12.560
Oh, I see.

41:15.720 --> 41:17.120
I read somewhere

41:17.200 --> 41:21.480
that Chef specially orders custom plates
for every dish, and there are no extras.

41:21.560 --> 41:25.000
If you break one, he’ll lose it.

41:25.080 --> 41:26.279
Is this time for chit-chat?

41:26.359 --> 41:27.640
Sorry, Chef.

41:33.319 --> 41:36.480
Damn, I thought it would be an easy job.

42:01.319 --> 42:02.279
What are you doing?

42:03.000 --> 42:04.160
Careful with those plates.

42:38.680 --> 42:41.640
The aroma of basil
from him smells so good.

42:41.720 --> 42:43.200
Let go.

42:43.279 --> 42:45.799
It makes me hungry.

42:45.880 --> 42:46.880
Let go of me!

42:52.440 --> 42:54.359
How can you work in a kitchen
being this clumsy?

42:54.440 --> 42:56.640
This kitchen isn't just for you, remember?

42:56.720 --> 42:58.200
I'm warning you again,

42:58.279 --> 43:01.279
if you mess up,
you won't be allowed back in my kitchen.

43:02.000 --> 43:04.240
Yes, Chef. Sorry.

43:20.000 --> 43:21.359
Right this way, please.

43:21.880 --> 43:22.839
This table.

43:36.200 --> 43:38.560
SOY SAUCE

43:47.720 --> 43:48.680
Excuse me,

43:48.759 --> 43:52.160
our restaurant serves
a course with five dishes.

43:52.240 --> 43:54.720
Are there any foods you're allergic to?

44:01.560 --> 44:02.640
Is this okay, Chef?

44:02.720 --> 44:04.680
Too burnt. Fry it again.

44:07.319 --> 44:09.160
Excuse me, sir and madam.

44:11.000 --> 44:13.160
Customers pay thousands per meal.

44:13.240 --> 44:14.879
Are you going to
serve this half-heartedly?

44:14.960 --> 44:18.400
If you're here to play around, go home.

44:18.480 --> 44:19.480
-Yeah, Chef.
-Yeah, Chef.

44:32.359 --> 44:33.200
Like that.

44:41.359 --> 44:42.600
Scoop it up,

44:46.200 --> 44:47.520
plate it.

44:47.600 --> 44:48.600
Yeah, Chef.

44:55.040 --> 44:56.200
What are you doing?

44:56.720 --> 44:58.279
What's your job?

44:58.879 --> 45:00.640
Even washing dishes takes you this long?

45:00.720 --> 45:01.520
Yeah, Chef.

45:08.359 --> 45:09.560
Ouch!

45:13.879 --> 45:15.200
Sorry, Chef.

45:16.440 --> 45:17.279
Get out.

45:17.960 --> 45:18.879
But I…

45:18.960 --> 45:19.960
Get out!

45:21.920 --> 45:23.879
I said, get out of my kitchen!

45:31.160 --> 45:33.400
Whenever I'm not in the kitchen,

45:33.480 --> 45:35.839
I can still smell basil
from Chef Oab all the time.

45:35.920 --> 45:38.480
When I get close to him, I feel weird.

45:38.560 --> 45:41.200
Don't tell me you have a crush on him.

45:41.279 --> 45:42.480
What? No way!

45:42.560 --> 45:45.240
Next time,
if my physical therapist isn't available,

45:45.319 --> 45:48.080
let me know so I can get a replacement.

45:49.680 --> 45:51.400
Did you do something
to make him dislike you?

45:51.480 --> 45:53.040
Or he hates me because I criticize him?

45:53.120 --> 45:54.160
Someone in the restaurant?

45:54.759 --> 45:55.759
Smells so good.

45:55.839 --> 45:59.200
Does talking like that
mean you want to eat me

45:59.279 --> 46:01.080
as much as you want to eat basil stir-fry?
me
