1
00:00:12,034 --> 00:00:14,534
(piano music)

2
00:00:44,293 --> 00:00:45,792
- [Narrator] The Presidio of San Francisco

3
00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:49,984
has been a fortress since
the late 18th century.

4
00:00:49,984 --> 00:00:53,401
First for Spanish explorers, then Mexico,

5
00:00:54,529 --> 00:00:58,100
and lastly for the United States Army.

6
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,203
It became a beacon of strength
and a refuge from storms,

7
00:01:02,203 --> 00:01:06,696
a camp for refugees
after the quake in 1906.

8
00:01:06,696 --> 00:01:08,725
It is the final resting place for veterans

9
00:01:08,725 --> 00:01:10,308
of two worlds wars.

10
00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:15,518
It was a training
facility, a field hospital,

11
00:01:15,518 --> 00:01:19,518
and since 1989 it has
served as a national park.

12
00:01:21,219 --> 00:01:23,144
Mark Mathison first discovered this place

13
00:01:23,144 --> 00:01:24,977
on October 10th, 1996.

14
00:01:27,743 --> 00:01:31,262
So it makes sense that on this, the day

15
00:01:31,262 --> 00:01:35,264
of his father's funeral, Mark would return

16
00:01:35,264 --> 00:01:38,597
to this spot where no one could find him

17
00:01:39,571 --> 00:01:41,154
except for Gillian.

18
00:01:45,042 --> 00:01:48,209
- [Jeremy] You want me to go with you?

19
00:01:49,912 --> 00:01:52,423
- No, I'll just be a second.

20
00:01:52,423 --> 00:01:53,590
You stay here.

21
00:02:04,443 --> 00:02:06,943
(piano music)

22
00:02:08,302 --> 00:02:12,443
- [Narrator] Gillian Broche
had not seen Mark in two years.

23
00:02:12,443 --> 00:02:15,874
She wondered what it would feel like

24
00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:19,976
if her first glance
would be a painful one,

25
00:02:19,976 --> 00:02:23,643
or would it light her
up the way it used to.

26
00:02:24,610 --> 00:02:27,645
Would he be glad to see her?

27
00:02:27,645 --> 00:02:30,270
Would she smile and lie, tell him

28
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:32,770
that she had been doing great?

29
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:38,387
Would they have anything
left to say to each other?

30
00:02:40,336 --> 00:02:44,037
Would they just sit in
silence waiting for one

31
00:02:44,037 --> 00:02:45,370
of them to move?

32
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:49,367
She didn't know.

33
00:02:52,375 --> 00:02:54,875
- [Gillian] Mark are you okay?

34
00:03:01,769 --> 00:03:05,936
Were you really gonna leave
without saying anything to me?

35
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,607
- I always loved the view
of the bridge from up here.

36
00:03:16,943 --> 00:03:21,026
Read about a guy who lost
his job, and he jumped.

37
00:03:24,241 --> 00:03:25,408
But, he lived.

38
00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:33,609
Can you imagine what was
going through his head?

39
00:03:33,609 --> 00:03:37,359
Do you think he was
relieved or disappointed?

40
00:03:38,863 --> 00:03:41,662
- You know I don't know, Mark.

41
00:03:41,662 --> 00:03:44,073
Is that really what
you want to talk about?

42
00:03:44,073 --> 00:03:46,369
- I don't want to talk about anything.

43
00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:48,452
- I think that we should.

44
00:03:52,863 --> 00:03:57,271
You really gonna leave
without saying anything?

45
00:03:57,271 --> 00:03:58,885
- I didn't feel like
sticking around to hear

46
00:03:58,885 --> 00:04:02,552
my uncles talk about
what a good man he was.

47
00:04:06,318 --> 00:04:08,485
- That was a nice turnout.

48
00:04:09,664 --> 00:04:11,701
- He had a few drinking buddies.

49
00:04:11,701 --> 00:04:13,284
I'll give him that.

50
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:17,733
Or, maybe they just share
the Episcopalians' passion

51
00:04:17,733 --> 00:04:18,733
for fiction.

52
00:04:21,816 --> 00:04:24,649
- I thought it was a nice service.

53
00:04:26,097 --> 00:04:27,870
- Why are you here?

54
00:04:27,870 --> 00:04:29,086
- She invited me.

55
00:04:29,086 --> 00:04:29,966
- Who?

56
00:04:29,966 --> 00:04:31,549
- Your grandmother.

57
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:34,856
- That figures.

58
00:04:36,821 --> 00:04:39,469
Well thank you for coming.

59
00:04:39,469 --> 00:04:42,052
I'm sure it meant a lot to her.

60
00:04:47,113 --> 00:04:49,030
- Do you need anything?

61
00:04:51,453 --> 00:04:52,453
- [Mark] No.

62
00:05:00,296 --> 00:05:03,296
- I thought about you the other day.

63
00:05:05,295 --> 00:05:06,601
I was cleaning out my office, and I found

64
00:05:06,601 --> 00:05:08,598
one of my old notebooks.

65
00:05:08,598 --> 00:05:09,933
It had our first interview in it.

66
00:05:09,933 --> 00:05:11,266
Do you remember?

67
00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:18,522
- No, I don't remember that.

68
00:05:19,852 --> 00:05:21,710
- [Narrator] He was lying.

69
00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:24,127
Mark remembered every detail.

70
00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:29,139
- [Sofia] Jeff, will you
come taste this please?

71
00:05:34,413 --> 00:05:35,632
- What is that thyme?

72
00:05:35,632 --> 00:05:36,465
- Yeah.

73
00:05:36,465 --> 00:05:37,936
- It's too much.

74
00:05:37,936 --> 00:05:40,236
- You told me to use that in the sauce.

75
00:05:40,236 --> 00:05:41,380
- It doesn't matter what I told you.

76
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:44,380
You should know what I was thinking.

77
00:05:46,686 --> 00:05:49,161
(speaking in a foreign language)

78
00:05:49,161 --> 00:05:50,567
What was that?

79
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:52,343
- I said I love you.

80
00:05:52,343 --> 00:05:54,899
- That's what I thought.

81
00:05:54,899 --> 00:05:55,961
(knocking)

82
00:05:55,961 --> 00:05:57,961
- Mark, designer's here.

83
00:06:00,634 --> 00:06:02,711
Chef, this is Miss--

84
00:06:02,711 --> 00:06:03,764
- [Gillian] Gillian Broche.

85
00:06:03,764 --> 00:06:05,462
- Right, this is Chef Mark Mathison.

86
00:06:05,462 --> 00:06:06,295
- Gillian?

87
00:06:06,295 --> 00:06:07,128
- Yes.

88
00:06:07,128 --> 00:06:09,324
- We've actually met before.

89
00:06:09,324 --> 00:06:10,365
- We have?

90
00:06:10,365 --> 00:06:11,591
- Yeah in Sonoma.

91
00:06:11,591 --> 00:06:13,505
Last summer my friends Nancy and Carol

92
00:06:13,505 --> 00:06:15,523
had a tasting for their new red.

93
00:06:15,523 --> 00:06:16,568
- Oh yeah.

94
00:06:16,568 --> 00:06:18,568
- You were there with...

95
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:20,413
- Paul.

96
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:21,966
- Paul, that's right.

97
00:06:21,966 --> 00:06:23,383
And, how is Paul?

98
00:06:24,699 --> 00:06:26,425
- I wouldn't know.

99
00:06:26,425 --> 00:06:28,166
- I'm sorry to hear that.

100
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:29,504
- Right well this is adorable.

101
00:06:29,504 --> 00:06:32,038
What do you have for us, Miss Broche?

102
00:06:32,038 --> 00:06:33,586
- Well I do have a few preliminary designs

103
00:06:33,586 --> 00:06:36,669
based on the measurements I received.

104
00:06:41,552 --> 00:06:42,719
- It's modern.

105
00:06:43,763 --> 00:06:46,763
That is what we talked about, right?

106
00:06:49,045 --> 00:06:50,392
- Can I be honest?

107
00:06:50,392 --> 00:06:52,312
- [Mark] Of course.

108
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:54,013
- This isn't my best work.

109
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:55,160
- Well if it's not your best work,

110
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,614
than what are you doing here?

111
00:06:56,614 --> 00:06:59,218
Look Miss, we are very busy,
and for you to come in here

112
00:06:59,218 --> 00:07:00,051
with your half assessed--

113
00:07:00,051 --> 00:07:01,634
- Can I see a menu?

114
00:07:04,801 --> 00:07:05,718
- What for?

115
00:07:06,856 --> 00:07:08,455
- Because the food's very important to me.

116
00:07:08,455 --> 00:07:10,276
It's kind of hard to
get a sense of the space

117
00:07:10,276 --> 00:07:14,197
without understanding the flavor profile.

118
00:07:14,197 --> 00:07:15,780
- I'll go grab one.

119
00:07:22,216 --> 00:07:23,216
Here you go.

120
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:30,914
- Something wrong, Miss Broche?

121
00:07:30,914 --> 00:07:34,664
- No, I see you have a
tartar, Caprese salad.

122
00:07:36,713 --> 00:07:39,046
(muttering)

123
00:07:40,795 --> 00:07:43,286
These are your recipes?

124
00:07:43,286 --> 00:07:44,648
- That's right.

125
00:07:44,648 --> 00:07:46,981
- What sets your menu apart?

126
00:07:47,853 --> 00:07:49,887
- Apart from what?

127
00:07:49,887 --> 00:07:53,833
- No offense, but this is
the most ubiquitous menu

128
00:07:53,833 --> 00:07:55,083
I've ever seen.

129
00:07:57,067 --> 00:07:58,907
- Who do you think you are?

130
00:07:58,907 --> 00:08:00,645
You realize we're the clients, right?

131
00:08:00,645 --> 00:08:02,875
- What sets it apart, Miss Broche,

132
00:08:02,875 --> 00:08:05,145
is that I'm the one making it.

133
00:08:05,145 --> 00:08:06,584
- Okay.

134
00:08:06,584 --> 00:08:08,646
What does that mean to people?

135
00:08:08,646 --> 00:08:09,685
- [Peter] Did you come to insult us

136
00:08:09,685 --> 00:08:11,528
or design the restaurant?

137
00:08:11,528 --> 00:08:16,169
- No offense, but this is
not what inspires people.

138
00:08:16,169 --> 00:08:17,843
I was hired because I have bold ideas

139
00:08:17,843 --> 00:08:21,819
that go beyond what the
color of the sconces are.

140
00:08:21,819 --> 00:08:23,143
So if you want this place to look like

141
00:08:23,143 --> 00:08:26,815
every other restaurant in
America, then hire someone else.

142
00:08:26,815 --> 00:08:29,833
But, if you want this place to have soul,

143
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:31,833
let me help you find it.

144
00:08:33,703 --> 00:08:37,192
- How many restaurants have
you designed in San Francisco?

145
00:08:37,192 --> 00:08:39,754
- This is my first one.

146
00:08:39,754 --> 00:08:41,630
- Okay, I think we're done here.

147
00:08:41,630 --> 00:08:42,523
Thank you for coming.

148
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:46,690
- Wait a minute, Peter, I want
to hear what she has to say.

149
00:08:47,748 --> 00:08:51,252
- Can I talk to you a moment privately?

150
00:08:51,252 --> 00:08:53,011
- One minute.

151
00:08:53,011 --> 00:08:54,197
- We have to get rid of her.

152
00:08:54,197 --> 00:08:55,066
- Why, I like her.

153
00:08:55,066 --> 00:08:56,175
- Are you insane?

154
00:08:56,175 --> 00:08:57,939
She has no idea what she's doing.

155
00:08:57,939 --> 00:09:00,830
- And, I want to see where that takes us.

156
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:02,895
- I can't believe you're
even entertaining the idea

157
00:09:02,895 --> 00:09:03,735
of letting her--

158
00:09:03,735 --> 00:09:06,316
- Look what choice do we have?

159
00:09:06,316 --> 00:09:08,298
We're over budget, we're over time.

160
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:09,967
I mean you want to wait
another six months?

161
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:12,467
I say we just give her a shot.

162
00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:17,797
- Oh really, Mark Mathison
wants to give her a shot?

163
00:09:18,913 --> 00:09:20,432
- Yes.

164
00:09:20,432 --> 00:09:21,598
- You're so predictable.

165
00:09:21,598 --> 00:09:24,265
- Look, who else is gonna do it?

166
00:09:26,686 --> 00:09:27,851
- It can't be that hard.

167
00:09:27,851 --> 00:09:28,684
- Oh give me a break.

168
00:09:28,684 --> 00:09:31,340
I gave you the wine list,
I gave you the name.

169
00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:34,840
Just give me this one thing, Pete, please.

170
00:09:39,476 --> 00:09:41,816
- Fine, but if I don't like what she does,

171
00:09:41,816 --> 00:09:42,702
I get a veto.

172
00:09:42,702 --> 00:09:43,582
- Of course.

173
00:09:43,582 --> 00:09:44,756
- And, don't call me Pete.

174
00:09:44,756 --> 00:09:46,355
- Sure, whatever.

175
00:09:46,355 --> 00:09:47,188
- Hey.

176
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,423
Don't let her get in your head.

177
00:09:52,281 --> 00:09:54,698
We are not changing the menu!

178
00:10:13,784 --> 00:10:15,034
- Gillian, hey.

179
00:10:16,106 --> 00:10:17,086
- Thanks for meeting me.

180
00:10:17,086 --> 00:10:19,116
- Of course, no problem.

181
00:10:19,116 --> 00:10:20,973
Are you sure you don't
want me to cook for you?

182
00:10:20,973 --> 00:10:22,255
- Oh no, not yet.

183
00:10:22,255 --> 00:10:24,366
I want you to show me around first.

184
00:10:24,366 --> 00:10:27,116
- Show you around, like the city?

185
00:10:28,565 --> 00:10:29,565
- Not quite.

186
00:10:30,457 --> 00:10:33,572
Let's say you had two hours left.

187
00:10:33,572 --> 00:10:35,345
- To do what?

188
00:10:35,345 --> 00:10:36,266
- To live.

189
00:10:36,266 --> 00:10:37,985
Giant monsters are gonna
come through the city

190
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:39,235
and destroy it.

191
00:10:40,294 --> 00:10:41,127
- Okay.

192
00:10:42,529 --> 00:10:43,926
I can only pick one?

193
00:10:43,926 --> 00:10:45,723
- [Gillian] Yes.

194
00:10:45,723 --> 00:10:48,422
- I can't stop and grab a drink.

195
00:10:48,422 --> 00:10:49,302
(laughing)

196
00:10:49,302 --> 00:10:50,135
- No.

197
00:10:56,054 --> 00:10:57,433
- All right.

198
00:10:57,433 --> 00:10:58,614
I got one.

199
00:10:58,614 --> 00:10:59,447
- You got one?

200
00:10:59,447 --> 00:11:00,280
- Yeah.

201
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,780
- Okay what is it?

202
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,552
- Well why don't I just show you?

203
00:11:05,552 --> 00:11:06,939
- Okay.

204
00:11:06,939 --> 00:11:07,772
- Come on.

205
00:11:12,616 --> 00:11:14,449
- You brought me here.

206
00:11:17,218 --> 00:11:19,637
- [Mark] I remember.

207
00:11:19,637 --> 00:11:22,062
- I think it made all the difference.

208
00:11:22,062 --> 00:11:23,436
- To what?

209
00:11:23,436 --> 00:11:24,519
- The design.

210
00:11:26,583 --> 00:11:28,119
- It was your game.

211
00:11:28,119 --> 00:11:30,484
I was just playing along.

212
00:11:30,484 --> 00:11:32,484
- It was more than that.

213
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:37,777
- I don't know what you want me to say.

214
00:11:39,724 --> 00:11:43,057
Day one, and I could talk to you like...

215
00:11:49,189 --> 00:11:52,189
I never talked to anybody like that.

216
00:11:54,575 --> 00:11:56,606
- Neither have I.

217
00:11:56,606 --> 00:12:00,273
(dramatic orchestral music)

218
00:12:10,444 --> 00:12:12,917
- Well it's very unorthodox.

219
00:12:12,917 --> 00:12:15,041
- But, I got some good stuff.

220
00:12:15,041 --> 00:12:17,354
So it worked out pretty well.

221
00:12:17,354 --> 00:12:18,236
- So what's next?

222
00:12:18,236 --> 00:12:22,741
You're gonna walk all the
was to Sausalito with Peter?

223
00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:23,735
- No.

224
00:12:23,735 --> 00:12:25,726
He owns half that restaurant,
but he's not the heart

225
00:12:25,726 --> 00:12:27,643
of that place, you are.

226
00:12:28,612 --> 00:12:30,714
- But, you don't like my food.

227
00:12:30,714 --> 00:12:33,493
- I've never tasted your food.

228
00:12:33,493 --> 00:12:35,579
And, besides the restaurant
has to be a reflection

229
00:12:35,579 --> 00:12:38,455
of who you are, and I'm
trying to figure that out.

230
00:12:38,455 --> 00:12:41,296
- You think you've got me figured out?

231
00:12:41,296 --> 00:12:43,129
- I have a head start.

232
00:12:44,095 --> 00:12:46,852
- So I take you to a
park and Japanese place

233
00:12:46,852 --> 00:12:50,352
and all of a sudden, you've got me pegged?

234
00:12:58,312 --> 00:13:01,052
(clears throat)

235
00:13:01,052 --> 00:13:03,868
- Cooking is the only thing
that makes sense to you.

236
00:13:03,868 --> 00:13:05,992
Your dad was a chef, and that seems to be

237
00:13:05,992 --> 00:13:07,889
the only thing you don't resent about him.

238
00:13:07,889 --> 00:13:09,489
You've got a chip on your shoulder because

239
00:13:09,489 --> 00:13:12,091
you seem to think that
he owes you something.

240
00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:13,982
You opened a restaurant out of revenge,

241
00:13:13,982 --> 00:13:16,128
but I think deep down you really love it.

242
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:17,947
You think that you're better than he is.

243
00:13:17,947 --> 00:13:18,945
You're pretty much better than anyone

244
00:13:18,945 --> 00:13:20,544
you've ever cooked for.

245
00:13:20,544 --> 00:13:23,778
And, now it's time for
the world to take notice.

246
00:13:23,778 --> 00:13:26,054
You're cocky, but it's
only because you think

247
00:13:26,054 --> 00:13:27,668
you have to be.

248
00:13:27,668 --> 00:13:29,726
- You kind of wear it like an apron,

249
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,839
but I can tell the way
that you talk about food

250
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:36,006
and eat food it's not because
it's about being the best,

251
00:13:37,507 --> 00:13:38,840
it's about love.

252
00:13:39,848 --> 00:13:42,329
And, I think you think
that if you have that,

253
00:13:42,329 --> 00:13:44,162
you'll never be alone.

254
00:13:46,567 --> 00:13:49,817
- Wow, you wrote all that in your book.

255
00:13:52,524 --> 00:13:54,191
- Some of it, sorry.

256
00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:56,181
- No.

257
00:13:57,417 --> 00:13:58,250
Don't be.

258
00:14:00,555 --> 00:14:01,719
- I should go.

259
00:14:01,719 --> 00:14:05,469
- So I guess we'll see
you in a couple weeks.

260
00:14:06,504 --> 00:14:10,671
- Yeah I could draw something
up as soon as possible.

261
00:14:13,223 --> 00:14:17,390
- Well thank you for lunch,
and dinner, and drinks.

262
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:22,835
(laughing)

263
00:14:22,835 --> 00:14:24,869
- You're welcome, Mark.

264
00:14:24,869 --> 00:14:26,348
- Goodnight Gillian.

265
00:14:26,348 --> 00:14:28,203
(laughing)

266
00:14:28,203 --> 00:14:29,620
- Goodnight Mark.

267
00:14:30,849 --> 00:14:31,682
- Okay.

268
00:14:47,962 --> 00:14:49,506
Morning.

269
00:14:49,506 --> 00:14:50,973
- You been here all night?

270
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:52,973
- Yeah, come taste this.

271
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,334
- Saffron.

272
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:03,701
- Uh huh.

273
00:15:03,701 --> 00:15:05,165
- What are you doing?

274
00:15:05,165 --> 00:15:07,332
- We're changing the menu.

275
00:15:08,231 --> 00:15:11,731
(plucky orchestral music)

276
00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:20,727
- [Narrator] Four months
later, Smoke and Fire opened

277
00:15:20,727 --> 00:15:23,985
in the Mission District with
a fresh and personal design

278
00:15:23,985 --> 00:15:27,195
by Gillian and an updated menu.

279
00:15:27,195 --> 00:15:28,778
Mark felt inspired.

280
00:15:29,936 --> 00:15:32,791
He just had to get through opening night.

281
00:15:32,791 --> 00:15:35,591
- Our job is to earn their trust.

282
00:15:35,591 --> 00:15:38,769
Pretension, snobbery, and asshat-ery

283
00:15:38,769 --> 00:15:41,287
are not what we are about.

284
00:15:41,287 --> 00:15:44,098
(plucky orchestral music)

285
00:15:44,098 --> 00:15:48,190
These guests are going to
be paying $100 an entree.

286
00:15:48,190 --> 00:15:51,721
We want them to feel like it's worth it.

287
00:15:51,721 --> 00:15:52,855
- Hi, welcome to Smoke and Fire.

288
00:15:52,855 --> 00:15:53,783
Table for two?

289
00:15:53,783 --> 00:15:54,665
- [Guest] Yeah.

290
00:15:54,665 --> 00:15:55,883
- Right this way please.

291
00:15:55,883 --> 00:15:59,840
- [Peter] We cater to each
individual, not the table.

292
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,757
So know every detail of every dish.

293
00:16:04,437 --> 00:16:06,795
We want them to feel special.

294
00:16:06,795 --> 00:16:10,444
We want them to feel loved,
and we want them to feel

295
00:16:10,444 --> 00:16:13,619
like they are sitting at
the most exclusive table

296
00:16:13,619 --> 00:16:14,619
in the city.

297
00:16:15,987 --> 00:16:17,259
- Good evening, welcome to Smoke and Fire.

298
00:16:17,259 --> 00:16:18,426
Table for Two?

299
00:16:19,352 --> 00:16:20,185
Follow me.

300
00:16:21,331 --> 00:16:25,343
- We've given you all the tools
you need to be successful.

301
00:16:25,343 --> 00:16:29,099
Show us that you are
a part of this family.

302
00:16:29,099 --> 00:16:33,381
(plucky orchestral music)

303
00:16:33,381 --> 00:16:35,964
Chef Mark has something to say.

304
00:16:37,966 --> 00:16:39,645
- When Peter and I started this journey,

305
00:16:39,645 --> 00:16:43,040
we had one goal in mind, perfection.

306
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,841
That is the standard that
we hold ourselves to.

307
00:16:46,841 --> 00:16:50,174
Anything less than that is unacceptable.

308
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:54,534
We have you here because we know

309
00:16:54,534 --> 00:16:57,207
that you have that capacity.

310
00:16:57,207 --> 00:16:59,262
Maybe in other restaurants you worked in,

311
00:16:59,262 --> 00:17:02,106
your best was good enough, but not here.

312
00:17:02,106 --> 00:17:06,062
Here every dish that comes out
of this kitchen is flawless.

313
00:17:06,062 --> 00:17:07,100
It's beyond reproach.

314
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:09,267
If not, we'd all serve it.

315
00:17:10,753 --> 00:17:12,699
You give me that.

316
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:14,617
You give me perfect, and I will give you

317
00:17:14,617 --> 00:17:16,154
something better than that.

318
00:17:16,154 --> 00:17:18,965
You will be working in the best kitchen

319
00:17:18,965 --> 00:17:20,718
in the city, and you'll
be able to say that

320
00:17:20,718 --> 00:17:21,875
with confidence.

321
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:25,014
And, one day when you all
have your own kitchens

322
00:17:25,014 --> 00:17:27,725
and sprout wings and
fly, you'll hold yourself

323
00:17:27,725 --> 00:17:29,927
to that same standard.

324
00:17:29,927 --> 00:17:32,072
You'll want to be better than me

325
00:17:32,072 --> 00:17:33,655
and fail miserably.

326
00:17:34,838 --> 00:17:37,871
But, the pursuit will be noble.

327
00:17:37,871 --> 00:17:38,788
Be perfect.

328
00:17:39,972 --> 00:17:42,472
Anything less is unacceptable.

329
00:17:44,349 --> 00:17:45,895
Let's cook.

330
00:17:45,895 --> 00:17:47,272
- [Employees] Yes chef.

331
00:17:47,272 --> 00:17:48,852
- Get some music going.

332
00:17:48,852 --> 00:17:52,102
(pleasant synth music)

333
00:18:37,619 --> 00:18:39,369
- Don't look so grim.

334
00:18:40,456 --> 00:18:41,939
- How'd we do?

335
00:18:41,939 --> 00:18:43,200
- How do you think?

336
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,700
- I don't know the whole night was a blur.

337
00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:51,764
- We had a line out the door all night.

338
00:18:51,764 --> 00:18:55,080
We're booked solid for the next month.

339
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,413
We did it, Mark.

340
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,799
We should celebrate.

341
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:00,685
- Yes.

342
00:19:00,685 --> 00:19:02,352
- You know we should

343
00:19:04,755 --> 00:19:06,501
- Congratulations, Chef.

344
00:19:06,501 --> 00:19:07,501
- Thank you.

345
00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:12,435
I am starving.

346
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:16,848
Let's get a family meal going, yeah?

347
00:19:16,848 --> 00:19:18,811
- Okay what do you want?

348
00:19:18,811 --> 00:19:20,899
- Do we have any Cherrystones left?

349
00:19:20,899 --> 00:19:22,648
- I think so.

350
00:19:22,648 --> 00:19:24,610
- Cioppino, I made a stock earlier.

351
00:19:24,610 --> 00:19:25,443
It's in the walk-in.

352
00:19:25,443 --> 00:19:27,156
- Sounds good.

353
00:19:27,156 --> 00:19:28,156
- Thank you.

354
00:19:41,256 --> 00:19:42,443
Hey.

355
00:19:42,443 --> 00:19:43,974
- I tried to get a table earlier,

356
00:19:43,974 --> 00:19:46,597
but the line was around the block.

357
00:19:46,597 --> 00:19:48,209
- You don't have to wait just call.

358
00:19:48,209 --> 00:19:50,176
You'll never have to wait for a table.

359
00:19:50,176 --> 00:19:51,009
- Okay.

360
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:54,287
I brought you something.

361
00:19:54,287 --> 00:19:55,454
- [Mark] What?

362
00:19:56,991 --> 00:19:58,461
- When you told me about your grandma,

363
00:19:58,461 --> 00:20:01,740
and how she raised you,
and how much you love her,

364
00:20:01,740 --> 00:20:03,107
it made me think about
my grandma, and I just,

365
00:20:03,107 --> 00:20:06,300
I don't know, she collects 'em.

366
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:07,840
And, I just thought.

367
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,031
I know it's stupid.

368
00:20:09,031 --> 00:20:09,864
- No, no.

369
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,355
I love it.

370
00:20:14,355 --> 00:20:16,272
I'll cherish it always.

371
00:20:18,005 --> 00:20:21,755
Listen I can't thank
you enough for all this.

372
00:20:23,884 --> 00:20:26,134
I mean it looks incredible.

373
00:20:27,417 --> 00:20:28,584
- It's my job.

374
00:20:29,797 --> 00:20:33,130
Yeah but I never could've imagined this.

375
00:20:34,864 --> 00:20:36,799
- Sure you could've.

376
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:39,378
You were just so focused on
what you didn't want this place

377
00:20:39,378 --> 00:20:43,211
to be, you didn't see
it for what it could be.

378
00:20:46,451 --> 00:20:49,492
- Yeah I guess that's true.

379
00:20:49,492 --> 00:20:52,236
- Most people think like that though.

380
00:20:52,236 --> 00:20:53,731
- Like what?

381
00:20:53,731 --> 00:20:56,145
- Well if they know the
answer to everything,

382
00:20:56,145 --> 00:20:59,007
or if they think they know everything,

383
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:00,257
they don't try.

384
00:21:01,152 --> 00:21:02,367
But, if you live your life like that,

385
00:21:02,367 --> 00:21:04,534
you'll never be surprised.

386
00:21:05,427 --> 00:21:07,806
- I hope I'm not like that.

387
00:21:07,806 --> 00:21:09,806
- I don't think you are.

388
00:21:11,514 --> 00:21:14,395
- You saying I don't know
the outcome to things?

389
00:21:14,395 --> 00:21:17,699
- No, I'm saying you
don't act like you do.

390
00:21:17,699 --> 00:21:18,829
You wouldn't have opened this place

391
00:21:18,829 --> 00:21:21,162
if you were that insightful.

392
00:21:22,076 --> 00:21:25,488
- So now this place is destined to fail?

393
00:21:25,488 --> 00:21:28,571
- Okay wait, that's not what I meant.

394
00:21:29,433 --> 00:21:34,135
I meant that I admire you
for taking such risks.

395
00:21:34,135 --> 00:21:36,506
- Well I had good help.

396
00:21:36,506 --> 00:21:38,568
- Now you're being modest.

397
00:21:38,568 --> 00:21:42,735
- I've been accused of a
lot of things, never that.

398
00:21:45,378 --> 00:21:46,993
- I have to go.

399
00:21:46,993 --> 00:21:49,304
I have an early meeting in the morning.

400
00:21:49,304 --> 00:21:50,637
- Yes of course.

401
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,631
Thank you again, Gillian.

402
00:21:54,631 --> 00:21:56,048
- You're welcome.

403
00:21:56,929 --> 00:21:57,762
- Okay.

404
00:21:58,831 --> 00:22:00,331
- [Gillian] Right.

405
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:06,467
- Gill, Gillian?

406
00:22:06,467 --> 00:22:07,300
- Yeah?

407
00:22:09,907 --> 00:22:10,740
- Do you think--

408
00:22:10,740 --> 00:22:12,145
- [Peter] Found it.

409
00:22:12,145 --> 00:22:13,522
Bought it in Montreal last spring.

410
00:22:13,522 --> 00:22:16,583
I've been saving it for, oh Gillian?

411
00:22:16,583 --> 00:22:17,454
I didn't know you were here.

412
00:22:17,454 --> 00:22:18,542
Would you like some?

413
00:22:18,542 --> 00:22:19,952
- Oh no, thank you.

414
00:22:19,952 --> 00:22:20,821
- Nonsense.

415
00:22:20,821 --> 00:22:22,264
It's a '98.

416
00:22:22,264 --> 00:22:23,426
- No seriously, I'm okay.

417
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:27,225
I just came to drop
something off for Mark.

418
00:22:27,225 --> 00:22:30,808
- Charming, not for
the dining room I hope.

419
00:22:35,842 --> 00:22:36,830
What?

420
00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:40,410
- Peter, why don't you take
this back in the kitchen,

421
00:22:40,410 --> 00:22:44,243
and we'll crack it open
with the entire staff?

422
00:22:45,663 --> 00:22:48,713
- Did you hear me when
I said it was a '98?

423
00:22:48,713 --> 00:22:52,463
- I will pay you back
just go, and I will see

424
00:22:53,418 --> 00:22:54,418
Gillian out.

425
00:22:58,698 --> 00:23:01,851
- Gillian, it was a
pleasure working with you.

426
00:23:01,851 --> 00:23:02,684
- You too.

427
00:23:04,616 --> 00:23:08,033
- The place looks better than I expected.

428
00:23:12,493 --> 00:23:13,493
- Thank you.

429
00:23:16,346 --> 00:23:18,550
- I think that's the
closest you're ever going

430
00:23:18,550 --> 00:23:21,475
to get to a compliment with him.

431
00:23:21,475 --> 00:23:22,725
- I'll take it.

432
00:23:24,938 --> 00:23:27,265
I really do have to go though.

433
00:23:27,265 --> 00:23:29,098
- Okay well goodnight.

434
00:23:31,177 --> 00:23:32,886
(laughing)

435
00:23:32,886 --> 00:23:33,719
Goodnight.

436
00:23:33,719 --> 00:23:34,552
- Okay.

437
00:23:37,767 --> 00:23:40,600
And, the answer is yes by the way.

438
00:23:42,303 --> 00:23:43,470
- Yes to what?

439
00:23:46,596 --> 00:23:50,679
- Whatever you were going
to ask me, I'd love to.

440
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:02,271
What would you have said?

441
00:24:04,878 --> 00:24:06,128
- I don't know.

442
00:24:08,327 --> 00:24:12,746
- If I hadn't said anything,
would you have done anything?

443
00:24:12,746 --> 00:24:15,496
- You mean if I knew the outcome?

444
00:24:21,214 --> 00:24:22,714
- That's not fair.

445
00:24:23,899 --> 00:24:25,859
- You're the one who said it.

446
00:24:25,859 --> 00:24:27,027
If people know the outcome of things,

447
00:24:27,027 --> 00:24:28,624
they don't do anything.

448
00:24:28,624 --> 00:24:32,124
So no, if I knew who it would all pan out,

449
00:24:33,850 --> 00:24:36,085
I don't think I would've done anything.

450
00:24:36,085 --> 00:24:38,365
- I think you would've.

451
00:24:38,365 --> 00:24:40,020
You might've let me
walk out the door, sure.

452
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,436
But, I don't think you would've
let me around that corner.

453
00:24:42,436 --> 00:24:44,436
You would've stopped me.

454
00:24:47,278 --> 00:24:48,584
- Doesn't matter now.

455
00:24:48,584 --> 00:24:50,310
- Yes it does.

456
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:52,810
It still matters to me anyway.

457
00:24:59,465 --> 00:25:00,581
- [Narrator] Two days
after Gillian's visit

458
00:25:00,581 --> 00:25:04,979
to the restaurant, Mark picked
her up for their first date.

459
00:25:04,979 --> 00:25:06,396
Mark was nervous.

460
00:25:07,352 --> 00:25:09,430
And, Gillian tried on
six different outfits

461
00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:10,930
before he arrived.

462
00:25:11,835 --> 00:25:13,866
They had launch at an oyster bar

463
00:25:13,866 --> 00:25:16,057
and talked like old friends
who hadn't seen each other

464
00:25:16,057 --> 00:25:16,890
in years.

465
00:25:18,427 --> 00:25:21,354
Sun faded into dark
finding them holding hands

466
00:25:21,354 --> 00:25:22,937
in the Embarcadero.

467
00:25:28,186 --> 00:25:31,259
The lights from the
pier lit Gillian's face.

468
00:25:31,259 --> 00:25:34,877
Soft rain fell as Mark
pulled her in and kissed her

469
00:25:34,877 --> 00:25:36,460
for the first time.

470
00:25:37,641 --> 00:25:40,175
Like any other great first kiss,

471
00:25:40,175 --> 00:25:44,008
it multiplied itself
again, and again for days

472
00:25:45,032 --> 00:25:48,144
and then weeks until
Mark could only be found

473
00:25:48,144 --> 00:25:52,311
in one of two places, the
kitchen of his restaurant

474
00:25:53,241 --> 00:25:57,241
or within a three foot
radius of Gillian Broche.

475
00:25:59,276 --> 00:26:02,943
♫ I look at you, you see me

476
00:26:06,475 --> 00:26:10,642

477
00:26:15,682 --> 00:26:19,753

- Coffee?

507
00:29:20,598 --> 00:29:21,681
- Yes please.

508
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:25,822
- [TV Reporter] The police
standoff with an armed suspect

509
00:29:25,822 --> 00:29:29,005
has prompted shelter in place
in Lake County on Monday.

510
00:29:29,005 --> 00:29:30,877
According to Lake County
sheriff's department,

511
00:29:30,877 --> 00:29:32,546
there's an operation in the area.

512
00:29:32,546 --> 00:29:34,019
(coffee pouring)

513
00:29:34,019 --> 00:29:35,830
Over on highway 29 and Sand Creek Road.

514
00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:37,967
The public is being warned
to stay clear of the area.

515
00:29:37,967 --> 00:29:39,387
Residential shelter in place.

516
00:29:39,387 --> 00:29:41,682
Drivers should avoid the
area between Kelseyville

517
00:29:41,682 --> 00:29:44,404
and Kits Corner, the
sheriff's office said.

518
00:29:44,404 --> 00:29:45,272
In other news--

519
00:29:45,272 --> 00:29:46,152
- [Gillian] Thank you.

520
00:29:46,152 --> 00:29:47,153
- [TV Reporter] A fire erupted inside

521
00:29:47,153 --> 00:29:50,264
an Oakland warehouse claiming
the lives of 36 people.

522
00:29:50,264 --> 00:29:51,677
The fire erupted--

523
00:29:51,677 --> 00:29:52,510
- Wow.

524
00:29:53,577 --> 00:29:55,736
- [TV Reporter] And a heaven
for artists in the community.

525
00:29:55,736 --> 00:29:57,399
Here we'll continue to cover the tragedy.

526
00:29:57,399 --> 00:29:59,066
- This is delicious.

527
00:30:00,343 --> 00:30:03,907
Is it gonna be like this every morning?

528
00:30:03,907 --> 00:30:05,824
- If you want it to be.

529
00:30:06,833 --> 00:30:09,036
- I'm not sharing.

530
00:30:09,036 --> 00:30:10,369
- I already ate.

531
00:30:12,579 --> 00:30:15,612
- My mom used to make breakfast like this.

532
00:30:15,612 --> 00:30:17,897
Every morning me and
my sister would wake up

533
00:30:17,897 --> 00:30:19,882
to pancakes and eggs.

534
00:30:19,882 --> 00:30:22,036
We had a tangerine tree in the backyard,

535
00:30:22,036 --> 00:30:26,036
and the juicer was kind
of like our alarm clock.

536
00:30:28,041 --> 00:30:29,499
Then my sister when she
went to high school,

537
00:30:29,499 --> 00:30:30,916
she met this kid.

538
00:30:32,261 --> 00:30:33,149
He was bad news.

539
00:30:33,149 --> 00:30:35,399
He introduced her to drugs.

540
00:30:37,156 --> 00:30:40,989
First it was pills, then
she tried everything.

541
00:30:44,918 --> 00:30:46,953
It got so bad that my
parents thought it was

542
00:30:46,953 --> 00:30:48,952
a good idea to put her in a clinic,

543
00:30:48,952 --> 00:30:51,324
but she hated 'em for it.

544
00:30:51,324 --> 00:30:54,191
And, she actually tried to kill herself.

545
00:30:54,191 --> 00:30:57,024
(sad piano music)

546
00:30:58,170 --> 00:31:00,144
My mom stopped cooking breakfast,

547
00:31:00,144 --> 00:31:02,061
and we stopped talking.

548
00:31:06,221 --> 00:31:08,804
We haven't talked really since.

549
00:31:09,965 --> 00:31:10,910
My sister's better now.

550
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:11,879
She lives in Arizona.

551
00:31:11,879 --> 00:31:13,826
She's married.

552
00:31:13,826 --> 00:31:16,993
Even my parents, they don't talk much.

553
00:31:22,638 --> 00:31:26,138
They're more like roommates than a couple.

554
00:31:27,705 --> 00:31:30,562
And, it sounds lame, but
I swore that if I ever had

555
00:31:30,562 --> 00:31:34,436
kids, we would have breakfast
every morning no matter what

556
00:31:34,436 --> 00:31:38,269
because the moment we
stopped having breakfast

557
00:31:39,417 --> 00:31:42,009
was the moment we stopped being a family.

558
00:31:42,009 --> 00:31:44,842
(sad piano music)

559
00:31:51,259 --> 00:31:52,926
This is really good.

560
00:31:56,416 --> 00:31:57,416
- Thank you.

561
00:31:58,716 --> 00:32:02,118
- I tried so hard to make
my eggs taste like that.

562
00:32:02,118 --> 00:32:03,618
I fail every time.

563
00:32:04,631 --> 00:32:06,451
And, I'm sure Jeremy
would just burn the water

564
00:32:06,451 --> 00:32:08,444
if he even tried to boil it.

565
00:32:08,444 --> 00:32:09,904
(laughing)

566
00:32:09,904 --> 00:32:12,737
- Jeremy, he's the guy that you...

567
00:32:16,158 --> 00:32:18,303
You know what, don't answer that.

568
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:19,386
I don't care.

569
00:32:20,509 --> 00:32:21,852
- Sorry.

570
00:32:21,852 --> 00:32:23,852
- Why did you bring him?

571
00:32:24,824 --> 00:32:27,907
- He wanted to be supportive I guess.

572
00:32:28,896 --> 00:32:31,766
(laughing)

573
00:32:31,766 --> 00:32:34,594
- That is not why he came.

574
00:32:34,594 --> 00:32:36,869
He came, so you could parade him around,

575
00:32:36,869 --> 00:32:38,120
and I would see it.

576
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,984
And, I would know that I lost.

577
00:32:39,984 --> 00:32:41,650
- He's not that vindictive.

578
00:32:41,650 --> 00:32:43,929
- Everyone is that vindictive.

579
00:32:43,929 --> 00:32:48,268
You know that, or you
wouldn't have brought him.

580
00:32:48,268 --> 00:32:49,910
- Should I just leave?

581
00:32:49,910 --> 00:32:52,540
- I didn't ask you to
come in the first place.

582
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:54,207
- I'll just go then.

583
00:32:56,713 --> 00:32:58,046
- Gillian, wait.

584
00:32:59,548 --> 00:33:00,381
Don't go.

585
00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:03,048
- You know I hate when you do that.

586
00:33:03,048 --> 00:33:04,567
You say the worst possible
thing in the moment

587
00:33:04,567 --> 00:33:06,247
just to make me feel bad.

588
00:33:06,247 --> 00:33:08,830
And, you know what I do it too.

589
00:33:09,701 --> 00:33:11,368
When did that start?

590
00:33:14,132 --> 00:33:15,382
- I don't know.

591
00:33:18,267 --> 00:33:20,350
- Well we didn't used to.

592
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:25,907
- Yes, Sophia.

593
00:33:26,974 --> 00:33:29,732
Oh Chef, he's here for you.

594
00:33:29,732 --> 00:33:32,628
- I'm sorry what's your name again?

595
00:33:32,628 --> 00:33:33,826
- Colin Kendrick.

596
00:33:33,826 --> 00:33:35,080
- Hi.

597
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,263
Who are you?

598
00:33:36,263 --> 00:33:38,141
- I'm with the Bay City Arts.

599
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:39,641
- Oh what is that?

600
00:33:41,724 --> 00:33:43,974
- It's the online magazine.

601
00:33:45,076 --> 00:33:47,744
I spoke to Peter Strand.

602
00:33:47,744 --> 00:33:48,661
- Oh, Pete!

603
00:33:52,036 --> 00:33:53,988
What is this about?

604
00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:55,618
- It's a feature article I'm writing

605
00:33:55,618 --> 00:33:57,243
about up and coming
restaurants in the area

606
00:33:57,243 --> 00:33:58,560
renovating old landmarks.

607
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,012
- What are you oinking at, Mark?

608
00:34:02,012 --> 00:34:02,845
Oh.

609
00:34:04,521 --> 00:34:07,622
Mr. Kendrick, I'm looking forward to this.

610
00:34:07,622 --> 00:34:10,261
- Just make sure your phones
are on airplane mode please.

611
00:34:10,261 --> 00:34:11,975
- [Peter] Already done.

612
00:34:11,975 --> 00:34:13,812
- What is that for?

613
00:34:13,812 --> 00:34:14,995
- [Colin] Oh it's a video.

614
00:34:14,995 --> 00:34:15,895
Is that all right?

615
00:34:15,895 --> 00:34:17,914
- For a magazine?

616
00:34:17,914 --> 00:34:19,511
- It's an online magazine.

617
00:34:19,511 --> 00:34:20,511
- It's fine.

618
00:34:22,083 --> 00:34:22,916
- Okay.

619
00:34:24,005 --> 00:34:27,755
Smoke and Fire, where
did the name come from?

620
00:34:29,534 --> 00:34:31,298
- Well I came up with it actually.

621
00:34:31,298 --> 00:34:33,186
It's a metaphor of sorts.

622
00:34:33,186 --> 00:34:36,885
We wanted to spread word of
mouth about the restaurant

623
00:34:36,885 --> 00:34:40,926
and talk the talk but also walk the walk.

624
00:34:40,926 --> 00:34:43,432
And, I guess both of us
thought that the name

625
00:34:43,432 --> 00:34:45,515
gave us a little swagger.

626
00:34:47,739 --> 00:34:51,526
- So it has nothing to do
with your culinary methods?

627
00:34:51,526 --> 00:34:54,693
- Well we use smoke and fire, so yeah.

628
00:34:57,185 --> 00:35:00,742
- Have you been happy with
the word of mouth so far?

629
00:35:00,742 --> 00:35:03,130
- Yeah, I think so.

630
00:35:03,130 --> 00:35:06,234
We wanted a place that
wasn't very touristy

631
00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:08,850
or a novelty restaurant,
but one that could

632
00:35:08,850 --> 00:35:11,517
really build a solid reputation.

633
00:35:13,889 --> 00:35:16,472
- So who is Chef Mark Mathison?

634
00:35:22,004 --> 00:35:24,837
- I don't understand the question.

635
00:35:28,338 --> 00:35:29,755
- Forget I asked.

636
00:35:30,614 --> 00:35:34,526
So your father was a very important chef

637
00:35:34,526 --> 00:35:36,100
in California.

638
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,699
How does he feel about you
following into his footsteps?

639
00:35:38,699 --> 00:35:42,260
- Well I wouldn't say I was
following in his footsteps.

640
00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:46,704
I like to think Peter and
I are doing our own thing.

641
00:35:46,704 --> 00:35:48,160
- Did he give you any
advice about opening up

642
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,255
your own restaurant?

643
00:35:50,255 --> 00:35:52,172
- I didn't ask for any.

644
00:35:53,578 --> 00:35:55,851
- How does he feel about the menu?

645
00:35:55,851 --> 00:35:59,136
- I'm sorry what is this article about?

646
00:35:59,136 --> 00:36:00,004
- Mark.

647
00:36:00,004 --> 00:36:01,337
- No, it's fine.

648
00:36:02,294 --> 00:36:04,776
- Smoke and Fire, look
our readers want to know--

649
00:36:04,776 --> 00:36:07,872
- No, but you've done
your homework, right?

650
00:36:07,872 --> 00:36:09,349
I mean you know a little background.

651
00:36:09,349 --> 00:36:13,586
Is that really what your
readers want to know about?

652
00:36:13,586 --> 00:36:16,272
- Look I think our readers
would be interested to know

653
00:36:16,272 --> 00:36:18,678
why the son of Bruce Mathison
opens up a restaurant

654
00:36:18,678 --> 00:36:21,382
in the same building he did 30 years ago.

655
00:36:21,382 --> 00:36:22,913
- They would huh?

656
00:36:22,913 --> 00:36:25,580
(phone buzzing)

657
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:31,613
Excuse me, I have to take this.

658
00:36:33,808 --> 00:36:34,641
Hey.

659
00:36:37,755 --> 00:36:40,384
- Would you like a tour of the kitchen?

660
00:36:40,384 --> 00:36:41,634
- What's wrong?

661
00:36:43,485 --> 00:36:44,652
Where are you?

662
00:36:46,565 --> 00:36:47,512
- The client yelled at me.

663
00:36:47,512 --> 00:36:48,805
She said that I painted it the wrong color

664
00:36:48,805 --> 00:36:51,252
even though I showed her the
swatch three separate times.

665
00:36:51,252 --> 00:36:52,735
She said yes.

666
00:36:52,735 --> 00:36:56,625
I wouldn't have painted it if
she hadn't signed off on it.

667
00:36:56,625 --> 00:36:59,005
So she's yelling at me, and she tells me

668
00:36:59,005 --> 00:37:00,995
that I'm trying to sabotage her store

669
00:37:00,995 --> 00:37:04,134
which is stupid because
why would I sabotage

670
00:37:04,134 --> 00:37:06,715
my own client's store, right?

671
00:37:06,715 --> 00:37:09,685
So then I told her that
she was just miserable

672
00:37:09,685 --> 00:37:11,994
and bitter about her
own life, and I told her

673
00:37:11,994 --> 00:37:13,911
where she can shove it.

674
00:37:15,494 --> 00:37:16,625
Why are you laughing?

675
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:18,625
- I'm sorry, keep going.

676
00:37:20,883 --> 00:37:22,725
- So she told my boss, and
of course he wasn't there.

677
00:37:22,725 --> 00:37:24,796
So he couldn't hear how
she was talking to me.

678
00:37:24,796 --> 00:37:28,427
But, I shouldn't have said what I said.

679
00:37:28,427 --> 00:37:29,344
I'm stupid.

680
00:37:32,857 --> 00:37:34,440
- So what happened?

681
00:37:35,995 --> 00:37:37,162
- I got fired.

682
00:37:38,097 --> 00:37:40,347
- Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry.

683
00:37:44,502 --> 00:37:45,820
- You know what the worst thing is

684
00:37:45,820 --> 00:37:48,455
I just signed a new lease.

685
00:37:48,455 --> 00:37:50,172
I'm gonna have to get a smaller place

686
00:37:50,172 --> 00:37:52,339
or even worse, a roommate.

687
00:37:54,130 --> 00:37:55,294
You know I thought
moving here was gonna be

688
00:37:55,294 --> 00:37:57,796
a fresh start for me, you know?

689
00:37:57,796 --> 00:38:00,043
I've always wanted to
design in San Francisco.

690
00:38:00,043 --> 00:38:01,666
It's been my dream.

691
00:38:01,666 --> 00:38:02,499
- Whoa.

692
00:38:04,990 --> 00:38:05,990
It still is.

693
00:38:08,408 --> 00:38:11,241
I mean yes it sucks you got fired.

694
00:38:12,384 --> 00:38:15,045
I get that, but you don't have to give up.

695
00:38:15,045 --> 00:38:18,238
And, you certainly don't
need, you don't need

696
00:38:18,238 --> 00:38:20,238
anybody to be your boss.

697
00:38:21,657 --> 00:38:24,318
- What are you talking about?

698
00:38:24,318 --> 00:38:26,151
- Start your own firm.

699
00:38:27,532 --> 00:38:28,365
- Okay.

700
00:38:30,116 --> 00:38:31,974
- I'm serious.

701
00:38:31,974 --> 00:38:34,494
I mean you have the
talent, you have the drive.

702
00:38:34,494 --> 00:38:38,355
Start your own business, be your own boss.

703
00:38:38,355 --> 00:38:39,998
- Mark, I just got fired from my job.

704
00:38:39,998 --> 00:38:41,876
I'm probably gonna lose the apartment.

705
00:38:41,876 --> 00:38:43,324
Right now doesn't seem the best time

706
00:38:43,324 --> 00:38:45,228
to start my own firm.

707
00:38:45,228 --> 00:38:46,977
- It's the perfect time
to start your own firm.

708
00:38:46,977 --> 00:38:49,060
You have nothing to lose.

709
00:38:51,715 --> 00:38:53,496
- Except no one's gonna
hire me when I'm living

710
00:38:53,496 --> 00:38:56,880
on a bench in Golden Gate Park.

711
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,164
- If you're really that
worried about being homeless,

712
00:39:00,164 --> 00:39:01,914
then move in with me.

713
00:39:04,298 --> 00:39:07,849
- Sure, let me just grab my toothbrush.

714
00:39:07,849 --> 00:39:10,849
- I'm serious Gill, move in with me.

715
00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:15,689
- You know Mark, I'm
really not in the mood.

716
00:39:15,689 --> 00:39:17,106
- I'm not joking.

717
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,253
Move in with me.

718
00:39:22,689 --> 00:39:23,960
- We barely know each other.

719
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,108
- We know enough.

720
00:39:26,108 --> 00:39:26,941
- Okay.

721
00:39:28,208 --> 00:39:31,458
So then what was my high school mascot?

722
00:39:35,815 --> 00:39:36,815
- Wild cats?

723
00:39:39,255 --> 00:39:41,275
- How'd you know that?

724
00:39:41,275 --> 00:39:45,836
- Because everyone's high
school mascot is wild cats.

725
00:39:45,836 --> 00:39:46,669
- Okay.

726
00:39:48,635 --> 00:39:50,385
The Beatles or Elvis?

727
00:39:52,466 --> 00:39:53,299
- Both.

728
00:39:57,582 --> 00:39:59,784
- All right, so this one
might be the deal breaker.

729
00:39:59,784 --> 00:40:02,247
- Okay lay it on me.

730
00:40:02,247 --> 00:40:03,456
- In the last presidential election,

731
00:40:03,456 --> 00:40:05,456
I voted Republican, why?

732
00:40:07,895 --> 00:40:11,552
- You know I am not that political.

733
00:40:11,552 --> 00:40:12,385
- Damn it.

734
00:40:13,515 --> 00:40:14,644
- I'm a little insulted.

735
00:40:14,644 --> 00:40:16,885
It sounds like you're
coming up with excuses

736
00:40:16,885 --> 00:40:19,226
not to move in with me.

737
00:40:19,226 --> 00:40:22,893
- Give me one more good
reason why I should?

738
00:40:27,014 --> 00:40:29,431
- Cause I'm in love with you?

739
00:40:31,188 --> 00:40:32,021
- What?

740
00:40:33,795 --> 00:40:35,378
- I love you, Gill.

741
00:40:36,929 --> 00:40:38,712
- But, you can't say that.

742
00:40:38,712 --> 00:40:39,678
- Why not?

743
00:40:39,678 --> 00:40:41,516
- Because you can't tell
a girl that you love her

744
00:40:41,516 --> 00:40:43,214
on her bad day.

745
00:40:43,214 --> 00:40:45,793
- I was gonna tell you anyway.

746
00:40:45,793 --> 00:40:48,460
The bad day is just good timing.

747
00:40:51,262 --> 00:40:52,208
- But, that's really dangerous.

748
00:40:52,208 --> 00:40:54,423
You can't take that back.

749
00:40:54,423 --> 00:40:56,386
- I don't wanna take it back.

750
00:40:56,386 --> 00:40:57,303
I meant it.

751
00:40:59,837 --> 00:41:00,754
- You sure?

752
00:41:01,886 --> 00:41:02,803
- I'm sure.

753
00:41:05,003 --> 00:41:09,170
I think it was the moment you
called my menu ubiquitous.

754
00:41:13,116 --> 00:41:14,467
- I did say that.

755
00:41:14,467 --> 00:41:16,211
I was rude.

756
00:41:16,211 --> 00:41:19,378
- It was honest, and I'm being honest.

757
00:41:22,149 --> 00:41:26,044
I'm in love with you, and I
want you to move in with me

758
00:41:26,044 --> 00:41:30,211
not because you need to,
but because I want you to.

759
00:41:34,597 --> 00:41:37,942
- I'm not ready to say it back.

760
00:41:37,942 --> 00:41:39,025
- I can wait.

761
00:41:42,133 --> 00:41:43,383
- Are you sure?

762
00:41:45,623 --> 00:41:46,456
- Yeah.

763
00:41:48,837 --> 00:41:51,004
- I have a lot of clothes.

764
00:41:52,179 --> 00:41:54,762
- I have a lot of closet space.

765
00:42:04,536 --> 00:42:07,158
- [Hostess] Welcome to
Smoke and Fire, your name?

766
00:42:07,158 --> 00:42:09,825
- [Mr. Leblanc] Leblanc for one.

767
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,610
- Of course Mr. Leblanc.

768
00:42:13,610 --> 00:42:16,693
Right this way your table is waiting.

769
00:42:31,424 --> 00:42:32,696
Jessica will be your
waitress this evening.

770
00:42:32,696 --> 00:42:35,015
- Yes, yes, thank you.

771
00:42:35,015 --> 00:42:37,515
(piano music)

772
00:42:49,754 --> 00:42:52,171
(rock music)

773
00:42:56,481 --> 00:42:58,981
(piano music)

774
00:43:04,405 --> 00:43:06,822
(rock music)

775
00:43:17,054 --> 00:43:19,221
- How long's this been on?

776
00:43:21,218 --> 00:43:23,511
- We have a seared tuna
with bok choy quinoa

777
00:43:23,511 --> 00:43:25,017
in soy reduction.

778
00:43:25,017 --> 00:43:25,850
(rock music)

779
00:43:25,850 --> 00:43:26,899
- [Mark] Lamb medium, on the fly.

780
00:43:26,899 --> 00:43:27,732
Let's go!

781
00:43:27,732 --> 00:43:31,612
- Guys, we got table number
seven, VIP Gavin Newsome.

782
00:43:31,612 --> 00:43:33,948
Fire the rib eye medium rare please.

783
00:43:33,948 --> 00:43:37,388
We got one veg plate, no garlic.

784
00:43:37,388 --> 00:43:38,221
Thank you.

785
00:43:39,093 --> 00:43:39,999
- Sophia?

786
00:43:39,999 --> 00:43:40,832
- Yeah what is it?

787
00:43:40,832 --> 00:43:42,463
- Leblanc is here.

788
00:43:42,463 --> 00:43:44,880
(rock music)

789
00:43:48,133 --> 00:43:48,966
- Chef.

790
00:43:48,966 --> 00:43:49,799
- [Mark] What?

791
00:43:49,799 --> 00:43:51,985
- Leblanc is here.

792
00:43:51,985 --> 00:43:52,818
- You sure?

793
00:43:52,818 --> 00:43:54,559
- Peter saw him.

794
00:43:54,559 --> 00:43:55,858
- Don't tell anyone.

795
00:43:55,858 --> 00:43:56,836
- Okay.

796
00:43:56,836 --> 00:43:57,995
- Wait.

797
00:43:57,995 --> 00:43:58,828
What do we do?

798
00:43:58,828 --> 00:43:59,685
Perfection every time, right?

799
00:43:59,685 --> 00:44:00,518
- Yes.

800
00:44:00,518 --> 00:44:01,351
- Okay.

801
00:44:01,351 --> 00:44:02,184
Keep it tight.

802
00:44:02,184 --> 00:44:04,444
When the order comes
out, you and I plate it.

803
00:44:04,444 --> 00:44:05,332
- [Sophia] Yes, chef.

804
00:44:05,332 --> 00:44:06,665
- Okay let's go.

805
00:44:07,657 --> 00:44:08,719
- [Jessica] If I could
make a recommendation.

806
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,948
- I'll have the caramelized
romaine and the avocado toast.

807
00:44:11,948 --> 00:44:14,215
And, for my entree, I'll have the lamb.

808
00:44:14,215 --> 00:44:16,505
- Very good sir, those
are excellent choices.

809
00:44:16,505 --> 00:44:18,876
May I send the sommelier
out for your wine selection

810
00:44:18,876 --> 00:44:20,244
tonight?

811
00:44:20,244 --> 00:44:22,661
- Yes, chef's choice I think.

812
00:44:24,333 --> 00:44:26,393
Have Mark surprise me.

813
00:44:26,393 --> 00:44:27,393
- Very good.

814
00:44:32,420 --> 00:44:33,376
- The order is in.

815
00:44:33,376 --> 00:44:34,592
I don't need to tell you that this one's--

816
00:44:34,592 --> 00:44:36,280
- Peter, get out of my kitchen.

817
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,197
I got this.

818
00:44:39,034 --> 00:44:40,817
Okay we got the toast, romaine.

819
00:44:40,817 --> 00:44:42,330
I'm gonna take the chops.

820
00:44:42,330 --> 00:44:43,200
You get the starters.

821
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,069
- Yes chef.

822
00:44:44,069 --> 00:44:44,902
- Yeah good.

823
00:44:44,902 --> 00:44:47,902
- He wants you to select the wine.

824
00:44:47,902 --> 00:44:51,352
- Bordeaux, nothing younger than '03.

825
00:44:51,352 --> 00:44:52,769
- I know the one.

826
00:44:53,671 --> 00:44:55,398
- [Mark] All right, let's go.

827
00:44:55,398 --> 00:44:56,565
Keep it tight!

828
00:44:59,885 --> 00:45:02,385
(piano music)

829
00:45:21,290 --> 00:45:24,015
(rock music)

830
00:45:24,015 --> 00:45:26,824
In the bin, it's garbage.

831
00:45:26,824 --> 00:45:28,249
Do we serve garbage?

832
00:45:28,249 --> 00:45:29,243
- [Cook] No chef.

833
00:45:29,243 --> 00:45:31,660
(rock music)

834
00:45:39,333 --> 00:45:40,795
- [Mark] Fliers to Brocco.

835
00:45:40,795 --> 00:45:42,319
Polenta Richard and one lamb.

836
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:44,768
- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.

837
00:45:44,768 --> 00:45:46,662
- Hey Hector, the food
truck down the street's

838
00:45:46,662 --> 00:45:47,707
taking applications.

839
00:45:47,707 --> 00:45:50,904
You want to go home, or you want to cook?

840
00:45:50,904 --> 00:45:51,737
Let's go.

841
00:45:51,737 --> 00:45:53,138
Lock it down.

842
00:45:53,138 --> 00:45:55,555
(rock music)

843
00:46:30,911 --> 00:46:31,744
Fix that.

844
00:46:31,744 --> 00:46:33,327
It should be black.

845
00:46:38,123 --> 00:46:38,956
Okay good.

846
00:46:39,846 --> 00:46:41,466
Take it.

847
00:46:41,466 --> 00:46:42,299
Service.

848
00:46:46,006 --> 00:46:47,603
- [Narrator] Then it was Christmas.

849
00:46:47,603 --> 00:46:49,741
As they drove down the
coast, Mark realized

850
00:46:49,741 --> 00:46:51,606
Gillian was nervous.

851
00:46:51,606 --> 00:46:54,651
He was the first man she
had ever brought home.

852
00:46:54,651 --> 00:46:56,411
- Okay don't be nervous.

853
00:46:56,411 --> 00:46:57,629
Are you nervous?

854
00:46:57,629 --> 00:46:58,774
You look nervous.

855
00:46:58,774 --> 00:47:00,639
- I'm not, relax.

856
00:47:00,639 --> 00:47:01,861
- I'm sorry it's just that when my parents

857
00:47:01,861 --> 00:47:04,871
can be a little, (grunting)
you know what I mean?

858
00:47:04,871 --> 00:47:06,777
- No, not really.

859
00:47:06,777 --> 00:47:09,408
Well just remember to be, you know.

860
00:47:09,408 --> 00:47:10,241
- Hi.

861
00:47:11,199 --> 00:47:15,190
- Hello darling, merry
Christmas, mom, dad.

862
00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:16,922
- [Chris] Hi sweetie.

863
00:47:16,922 --> 00:47:18,979
- This is my Mark.

864
00:47:18,979 --> 00:47:20,478
- Hi, nice to meet both of you.

865
00:47:20,478 --> 00:47:22,728
I've heard a lot about you.

866
00:47:23,638 --> 00:47:26,638
- Well I wish we could say the same.

867
00:47:28,934 --> 00:47:31,015
Can I take that from you?

868
00:47:31,015 --> 00:47:31,848
- [Mark] No.

869
00:47:31,848 --> 00:47:32,765
- I insist.

870
00:47:39,010 --> 00:47:41,093
- I'll just get the bags.

871
00:47:43,768 --> 00:47:47,386
Find some traffic, lay
down in front of it.

872
00:47:47,386 --> 00:47:50,488
- [Gillian's Mom] I'm
sorry the chicken is dry.

873
00:47:50,488 --> 00:47:51,993
- [Gillian] It's fine, mom.

874
00:47:51,993 --> 00:47:53,260
- I liked it.

875
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:55,782
Did you put Gorgonzola in the potatoes?

876
00:47:55,782 --> 00:47:56,615
- I did.

877
00:47:57,526 --> 00:47:59,430
My grandmother's trick.

878
00:47:59,430 --> 00:48:01,513
- [Mark] I like it a lot.

879
00:48:04,947 --> 00:48:05,780
Thank you.

880
00:48:12,694 --> 00:48:15,611
- So sweetheart, how's the new job?

881
00:48:19,419 --> 00:48:20,252
- It's...

882
00:48:22,478 --> 00:48:25,811
- Naomi, I'm stealing these green beans.

883
00:48:26,830 --> 00:48:28,913
- Actually it's not, dad.

884
00:48:29,770 --> 00:48:31,673
They let me go.

885
00:48:31,673 --> 00:48:32,673
- They what?

886
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,853
Why?

887
00:48:36,853 --> 00:48:39,279
- It was a misunderstanding.

888
00:48:39,279 --> 00:48:41,052
- Well that didn't take long.

889
00:48:41,052 --> 00:48:41,931
- Chris.

890
00:48:41,931 --> 00:48:43,719
- It's more complicated than that.

891
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,674
- What are you doing for money?

892
00:48:45,674 --> 00:48:46,674
- Excuse me?

893
00:48:47,761 --> 00:48:49,639
- You live in the Bay Area.

894
00:48:49,639 --> 00:48:51,353
How are you paying for rent?

895
00:48:51,353 --> 00:48:53,279
- Well right now I'm living with Mark.

896
00:48:53,279 --> 00:48:55,418
(choking)

897
00:48:55,418 --> 00:48:56,258
- I'm sorry.

898
00:48:56,258 --> 00:48:57,091
- Gillian?

899
00:48:59,878 --> 00:49:01,671
- How long have?

900
00:49:01,671 --> 00:49:02,504
- Dad.

901
00:49:02,504 --> 00:49:03,986
- Is there a fireplace on in here?

902
00:49:03,986 --> 00:49:06,324
- I would expect this from
your sister, but from you?

903
00:49:06,324 --> 00:49:10,580
- Chris, can we please
just have a nice meal?

904
00:49:10,580 --> 00:49:12,064
- Sweetheart, why in
the hell did we send her

905
00:49:12,064 --> 00:49:13,843
to design school when all she's gonna do

906
00:49:13,843 --> 00:49:18,563
is just lose her job and
shack up with Bobby Flay

907
00:49:18,563 --> 00:49:19,396
over here?

908
00:49:19,396 --> 00:49:20,471
- Dad, you're not even giving me a chance.

909
00:49:20,471 --> 00:49:22,971
- I'd like to propose a toast.

910
00:49:27,330 --> 00:49:31,330
To Chris and Naomi, thank
you for having us here

911
00:49:32,229 --> 00:49:35,979
on Christmas and sharing
hearth and whatever.

912
00:49:39,542 --> 00:49:42,103
Chris, thank you for
the Bobby Flay comment,

913
00:49:42,103 --> 00:49:44,001
I'm pretty sure it was meant as an insult,

914
00:49:44,001 --> 00:49:45,818
but he is a national treasure.

915
00:49:45,818 --> 00:49:47,840
So thanks for that.

916
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,125
Naomi, thank you for the potatoes.

917
00:49:50,125 --> 00:49:52,166
Again, amazing.

918
00:49:52,166 --> 00:49:55,416
And, to Gillian, the sweetest, kindest,

919
00:49:56,695 --> 00:50:00,988
most loving person I've
ever met in my life.

920
00:50:00,988 --> 00:50:02,829
May you have all the love you've shown

921
00:50:02,829 --> 00:50:07,303
returned to you 10 fold,
and may you never let

922
00:50:07,303 --> 00:50:09,509
the pessimism of experience get in the way

923
00:50:09,509 --> 00:50:13,003
of following your dreams and passions.

924
00:50:13,003 --> 00:50:17,463
I just hope I can be
there along for the ride.

925
00:50:17,463 --> 00:50:19,584
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

926
00:50:19,584 --> 00:50:23,182
Merry Christmas, God bless us everyone.

927
00:50:23,182 --> 00:50:24,265
Happy Kwanza.

928
00:50:26,004 --> 00:50:26,837
Excuse me.

929
00:50:43,212 --> 00:50:45,270
Okay look before you say anything.

930
00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:48,020
(pleasant music)

931
00:50:50,942 --> 00:50:51,942
- Thank you.

932
00:50:52,981 --> 00:50:55,148
- Wait, so you're not mad?

933
00:50:56,065 --> 00:50:57,321
- Oh no, I'm a little mad.

934
00:50:57,321 --> 00:50:58,309
Don't ever do that again.

935
00:50:58,309 --> 00:50:59,142
- Got it.

936
00:50:59,142 --> 00:50:59,975
- Okay.

937
00:51:08,101 --> 00:51:10,689
- [Gillian] That's the
scarf you wanted, right mom?

938
00:51:10,689 --> 00:51:12,856
- Yes, I love it, so soft.

939
00:51:15,322 --> 00:51:18,708
Mark, do you like the cookbook?

940
00:51:18,708 --> 00:51:20,289
- I do.

941
00:51:20,289 --> 00:51:22,684
Thank you very much.

942
00:51:22,684 --> 00:51:25,845
- I thought you might find
some good ideas in there,

943
00:51:25,845 --> 00:51:28,789
things that you haven't thought of.

944
00:51:28,789 --> 00:51:30,702
- I'm sure I will.

945
00:51:30,702 --> 00:51:32,243
I look forward to reading it.

946
00:51:32,243 --> 00:51:33,076
Thank you.

947
00:51:34,070 --> 00:51:37,045
- How come you don't
have a cookbook, Mark?

948
00:51:37,045 --> 00:51:39,721
- Well I don't want to
give away all my secrets.

949
00:51:39,721 --> 00:51:41,388
I'd be out of a job.

950
00:51:42,242 --> 00:51:44,742
- I heard your dad was a chef.

951
00:51:46,541 --> 00:51:48,458
Did he have a cookbook?

952
00:51:51,842 --> 00:51:53,592
- I believe so, yeah.

953
00:51:57,123 --> 00:51:59,456
- Well I made a pumpkin pie.

954
00:52:02,996 --> 00:52:04,913
Would anyone like some?

955
00:52:07,275 --> 00:52:09,425
- I'd love some.

956
00:52:09,425 --> 00:52:11,592
- Chris, will you help me?

957
00:52:16,106 --> 00:52:16,939
- Sure.

958
00:52:19,186 --> 00:52:20,019
Excuse us.

959
00:52:25,846 --> 00:52:28,596
("O Holy Night")

960
00:52:49,416 --> 00:52:53,614
- Well I think I'm
officially ruined for pie.

961
00:52:53,614 --> 00:52:56,364
("O Holy Night")

962
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,003
What's wrong?

963
00:53:08,975 --> 00:53:12,083
- I was gonna wait until
Christmas to tell you,

964
00:53:12,083 --> 00:53:15,000
but I think I'll just tell you now.

965
00:53:16,089 --> 00:53:16,922
- What?

966
00:53:17,777 --> 00:53:20,527
("O Holy Night")

967
00:53:23,361 --> 00:53:24,973
- Why am I so nervous?

968
00:53:24,973 --> 00:53:27,035
Wow, why am I nervous?

969
00:53:27,035 --> 00:53:30,535
- I don't know, but it's kind of adorable.

970
00:53:31,805 --> 00:53:33,230
- I'm just gonna say it.

971
00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:35,351
I'm just gonna...

972
00:53:35,351 --> 00:53:36,757
- Gillian whatever it--

973
00:53:36,757 --> 00:53:40,998
- You're actually making this much worse.

974
00:53:40,998 --> 00:53:41,831
Okay.

975
00:53:43,333 --> 00:53:44,166
Mark,

976
00:53:49,329 --> 00:53:51,079
I'm in love with you.

977
00:53:56,493 --> 00:53:58,326
- Was that a question?

978
00:53:59,689 --> 00:54:01,286
- I'm sorry.

979
00:54:01,286 --> 00:54:03,786
I'm just gonna try that again.

980
00:54:09,433 --> 00:54:11,266
I am in love with you.

981
00:54:14,888 --> 00:54:17,329
- You're in love with me?

982
00:54:17,329 --> 00:54:18,162
- Yes.

983
00:54:20,432 --> 00:54:21,349
- You sure?

984
00:54:22,791 --> 00:54:23,624
- Yes.

985
00:54:24,492 --> 00:54:27,242
- Just so we're on the same page,

986
00:54:28,389 --> 00:54:31,978
you love me, and I love you that means

987
00:54:31,978 --> 00:54:33,145
we're in love?

988
00:54:34,859 --> 00:54:36,359
- Yes, I think so.

989
00:54:41,927 --> 00:54:43,010
What's wrong?

990
00:54:45,384 --> 00:54:47,467
- Wrong, nothing's wrong.

991
00:54:51,804 --> 00:54:53,908
I'm starting to get a clear view

992
00:54:53,908 --> 00:54:57,158
of what the rest of my life looks like.

993
00:55:00,169 --> 00:55:01,669
- And what's that?

994
00:55:04,649 --> 00:55:05,482
- Us.

995
00:55:17,137 --> 00:55:21,304
♫ The city, the sky,
it glistens in your eye

996
00:55:25,963 --> 00:55:30,130
♫ The landscape, the view,
it's all prettier with you

997
00:55:35,289 --> 00:55:38,662
♫ The closeness of your touch

998
00:55:38,662 --> 00:55:42,079
♫ I can never get enough

999
00:55:43,347 --> 00:55:47,573
♫ Put your fingers in mine

1000
00:55:47,573 --> 00:55:51,073
♫ And let them intertwine

1001
00:55:53,362 --> 00:55:57,445
♫ So reach out, reach out for me

1002
00:56:01,446 --> 00:56:05,543
♫ Cause I know you're falling

1003
00:56:05,543 --> 00:56:08,960
♫ You're falling into me

1004
00:56:17,186 --> 00:56:20,649
- [Gillian] I think that's
what surprised me the most.

1005
00:56:20,649 --> 00:56:21,482
- What?

1006
00:56:22,623 --> 00:56:26,550
- I didn't realize I'd have
that much fun with you.

1007
00:56:26,550 --> 00:56:28,633
- I could just be myself.

1008
00:56:30,999 --> 00:56:35,235
- You know sometimes I
wonder if, never mind.

1009
00:56:35,235 --> 00:56:36,068
- What no?

1010
00:56:39,572 --> 00:56:40,938
- I wonder if things would be different

1011
00:56:40,938 --> 00:56:43,521
if you hadn't read that review.

1012
00:56:47,931 --> 00:56:48,764
- Maybe.

1013
00:56:52,456 --> 00:56:53,539
I don't know.

1014
00:56:57,972 --> 00:56:59,888
- [Gillian] What are we doing today?

1015
00:56:59,888 --> 00:57:01,944
- [Mark] Whatever you want.

1016
00:57:01,944 --> 00:57:05,944
I do have to pick up some
salmon that I ordered.

1017
00:57:06,949 --> 00:57:08,116
- Fish market.

1018
00:57:09,702 --> 00:57:12,503
How long's that gonna take?

1019
00:57:12,503 --> 00:57:14,546
- Only be an hour.

1020
00:57:14,546 --> 00:57:17,213
(phone buzzing)

1021
00:57:21,489 --> 00:57:22,738
Hey?

1022
00:57:22,738 --> 00:57:23,956
- [Peter] Can you believe what the bastard

1023
00:57:23,956 --> 00:57:25,090
wrote about us?

1024
00:57:25,090 --> 00:57:25,923
- Wait.

1025
00:57:27,907 --> 00:57:28,740
What?

1026
00:57:29,603 --> 00:57:31,964
- [Peter] Have you not read
your morning paper yet?

1027
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:36,309
Can you believe we opened a
bottle of '98 for this guy?

1028
00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:37,142
- Hold on.

1029
00:57:45,419 --> 00:57:46,252
- Mark?

1030
00:57:52,756 --> 00:57:53,673
What is it?

1031
00:58:05,765 --> 00:58:06,786
- I'll call you back.

1032
00:58:06,786 --> 00:58:08,536
- [Peter] Mark, wait.

1033
00:58:18,395 --> 00:58:19,228
- What?

1034
00:58:31,078 --> 00:58:33,528
Smoke and Fire, a tired
and pretentious eatery

1035
00:58:33,528 --> 00:58:35,788
in the saturated Mission District opens

1036
00:58:35,788 --> 00:58:38,302
with a menu so bland you'll find yourself

1037
00:58:38,302 --> 00:58:40,247
wishing the place would
live up to its name

1038
00:58:40,247 --> 00:58:42,896
and clear the room with smoke and fire.

1039
00:58:42,896 --> 00:58:43,729
Mark.

1040
00:58:45,402 --> 00:58:46,235
- Read it.

1041
00:58:50,331 --> 00:58:53,858
- Chef Mark Mathison son of
infamous Chef Bruce Mathison

1042
00:58:53,858 --> 00:58:55,571
shows that while he does not have

1043
00:58:55,571 --> 00:58:57,107
his father's penchant for controversy,

1044
00:58:57,107 --> 00:59:00,946
he also does not share his
pallet for exceptional cuisine.

1045
00:59:00,946 --> 00:59:03,336
I don't want to read this anymore, Mark.

1046
00:59:03,336 --> 00:59:05,086
- Just read it, Gill.

1047
00:59:11,739 --> 00:59:13,838
- The only thing more
uninspiring than Mathison's

1048
00:59:13,838 --> 00:59:16,755
rustic and sloppy menu is the decor

1049
00:59:18,773 --> 00:59:21,086
which is a cross between
a Swedish furniture store

1050
00:59:21,086 --> 00:59:22,669
and a funeral home.

1051
00:59:24,586 --> 00:59:28,130
The wine list has little imagination

1052
00:59:28,130 --> 00:59:30,721
but contains just enough alcohol
to get you through dinner.

1053
00:59:30,721 --> 00:59:31,590
Two stars.

1054
00:59:31,590 --> 00:59:32,889
- You know what this is just bad writing.

1055
00:59:32,889 --> 00:59:35,437
Don't listen to anything she's got to say.

1056
00:59:35,437 --> 00:59:36,604
- He says, he.

1057
00:59:37,676 --> 00:59:39,790
- Okay who's Michele Blanc?

1058
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:43,347
- Michele Leblanc is the only
voice in food that matters.

1059
00:59:43,347 --> 00:59:45,707
- Okay well people love your place.

1060
00:59:45,707 --> 00:59:47,447
They won't pay any attention to that.

1061
00:59:47,447 --> 00:59:48,961
- He just signed our death certificate.

1062
00:59:48,961 --> 00:59:50,991
As soon as people read
that, reses will drop,

1063
00:59:50,991 --> 00:59:53,632
and we'll have empty
tables on the weekends.

1064
00:59:53,632 --> 00:59:55,696
- Because of one bad review?

1065
00:59:55,696 --> 00:59:57,542
This guy clearly has it out for you.

1066
00:59:57,542 --> 00:59:58,685
- It doesn't matter.

1067
00:59:58,685 --> 01:00:00,118
It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong.

1068
01:00:00,118 --> 01:00:01,507
It only matters that he said it.

1069
01:00:01,507 --> 01:00:03,132
And, now anyone looking for my place

1070
01:00:03,132 --> 01:00:04,715
is gonna read that.

1071
01:00:05,858 --> 01:00:08,016
- Okay so prove him wrong.

1072
01:00:08,016 --> 01:00:08,849
- How?

1073
01:00:09,885 --> 01:00:10,816
- I don't know.

1074
01:00:10,816 --> 01:00:12,066
Fight him back.

1075
01:00:13,978 --> 01:00:15,238
You know the guy is just bitter because

1076
01:00:15,238 --> 01:00:17,036
internet killed journalism and any idiot

1077
01:00:17,036 --> 01:00:19,731
with a smartphone can throw shade and say

1078
01:00:19,731 --> 01:00:21,342
whatever they want about food.

1079
01:00:21,342 --> 01:00:23,756
But, we both know that that's crap.

1080
01:00:23,756 --> 01:00:25,682
We know that your food's amazing.

1081
01:00:25,682 --> 01:00:27,992
That place is you from the ground up.

1082
01:00:27,992 --> 01:00:29,051
He can say whatever he wants, but he can't

1083
01:00:29,051 --> 01:00:30,396
fault that design.

1084
01:00:30,396 --> 01:00:31,738
Yeah well if you're such a good designer,

1085
01:00:31,738 --> 01:00:33,405
why'd you get fired?

1086
01:00:35,908 --> 01:00:37,825
- Don't say that to me.

1087
01:00:38,973 --> 01:00:40,893
I get that you're hurt, but you don't get

1088
01:00:40,893 --> 01:00:43,251
to say things that make me feel bad.

1089
01:00:43,251 --> 01:00:45,256
I'm trying to help.

1090
01:00:45,256 --> 01:00:47,173
- You've helped enough.

1091
01:00:52,226 --> 01:00:53,059
- Wow.

1092
01:01:03,128 --> 01:01:03,961
- Stupid.

1093
01:01:06,033 --> 01:01:08,283
(sizzling)

1094
01:01:17,596 --> 01:01:20,429
(sad piano music)

1095
01:01:25,261 --> 01:01:26,557
- [Narrator] For a few days after that,

1096
01:01:26,557 --> 01:01:28,233
the apartment was filled with the silence

1097
01:01:28,233 --> 01:01:30,148
of things left unsaid.

1098
01:01:30,148 --> 01:01:32,981
(sad piano music)

1099
01:01:35,959 --> 01:01:40,126
They moved around cautiously
as if the slightest sound

1100
01:01:42,690 --> 01:01:44,570
would upset the other.

1101
01:01:44,570 --> 01:01:47,403
(sad piano music)

1102
01:01:51,197 --> 01:01:53,295
It was only questions about
taking out the garbage

1103
01:01:53,295 --> 01:01:54,545
or buying milk.

1104
01:01:56,037 --> 01:01:57,750
Mark was ashamed.

1105
01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:59,417
Gillian was crushed.

1106
01:02:00,471 --> 01:02:03,721
And, laughter had left without a trace.

1107
01:02:08,101 --> 01:02:08,934
- Gillian?

1108
01:02:10,910 --> 01:02:12,327
- [Gillian] What?

1109
01:02:15,167 --> 01:02:16,167
- I'm sorry.

1110
01:02:18,411 --> 01:02:20,494
I shouldn't have said it.

1111
01:02:22,181 --> 01:02:23,987
I didn't mean it.

1112
01:02:23,987 --> 01:02:26,320
(sad music)

1113
01:02:39,722 --> 01:02:40,943
- What are you doing?

1114
01:02:40,943 --> 01:02:42,355
- These weren't clean.

1115
01:02:42,355 --> 01:02:43,755
- So get someone else to clean 'em.

1116
01:02:43,755 --> 01:02:45,761
- No, I'll do it since
nobody bothers to do

1117
01:02:45,761 --> 01:02:47,594
their job around here.

1118
01:02:49,317 --> 01:02:51,230
- Oh I get it.

1119
01:02:51,230 --> 01:02:53,456
- What, what do you get?

1120
01:02:53,456 --> 01:02:54,933
- You're still salty about the review.

1121
01:02:54,933 --> 01:02:55,851
Move on.

1122
01:02:55,851 --> 01:02:57,263
- Move on?

1123
01:02:57,263 --> 01:02:58,886
How Narratory reses canceled this week?

1124
01:02:58,886 --> 01:02:59,719
- 25.

1125
01:02:59,719 --> 01:03:02,052
- 25, but hey let's move on.

1126
01:03:02,926 --> 01:03:04,091
- Yeah you want to run a restaurant,

1127
01:03:04,091 --> 01:03:05,106
you better grow a pair.

1128
01:03:05,106 --> 01:03:06,449
People are gonna complain.

1129
01:03:06,449 --> 01:03:09,369
You wanna pout about it, go
home and pout to Gillian.

1130
01:03:09,369 --> 01:03:10,327
I'm not your wife!

1131
01:03:10,327 --> 01:03:11,607
- I can't go home.

1132
01:03:11,607 --> 01:03:12,440
- Why not?

1133
01:03:14,975 --> 01:03:16,725
- Cause I'm an idiot.

1134
01:03:18,344 --> 01:03:19,177
- Oh.

1135
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,397
So say you're sorry.

1136
01:03:23,397 --> 01:03:24,897
- I already tried.

1137
01:03:25,776 --> 01:03:27,443
Not a word all week.

1138
01:03:28,574 --> 01:03:31,157
- Listen Mark, go home, fix it.

1139
01:03:32,897 --> 01:03:37,064
You're depressing the hell out
of everyone in the kitchen.

1140
01:03:38,203 --> 01:03:40,620
I'll take care of this stuff.

1141
01:03:54,675 --> 01:03:55,508
- Gill?

1142
01:04:05,585 --> 01:04:06,418
Gillian.

1143
01:04:12,037 --> 01:04:13,120
What's wrong?

1144
01:04:16,821 --> 01:04:17,738
- I'm late.

1145
01:04:19,737 --> 01:04:21,070
- Late for what?

1146
01:04:23,647 --> 01:04:25,147
- I mean I'm late.

1147
01:04:42,721 --> 01:04:43,638
- How late?

1148
01:04:45,284 --> 01:04:47,082
- Two weeks.

1149
01:04:47,082 --> 01:04:49,249
- How is it that you're...

1150
01:04:53,378 --> 01:04:55,045
Did you take a test?

1151
01:04:59,718 --> 01:05:00,551
- No.

1152
01:05:58,625 --> 01:05:59,458
- Well?

1153
01:06:06,078 --> 01:06:07,995
- Not yet, two minutes.

1154
01:06:40,426 --> 01:06:41,843
- Is it done yet?

1155
01:06:49,054 --> 01:06:49,887
- No.

1156
01:07:19,296 --> 01:07:20,879
- What does it say?

1157
01:07:24,236 --> 01:07:25,486
- Not pregnant.

1158
01:07:46,777 --> 01:07:48,630
- I wish you'd taken the
test before you'd said

1159
01:07:48,630 --> 01:07:49,880
anything to me.

1160
01:07:52,665 --> 01:07:56,582
- Right Mark, so I can
be all afraid by myself.

1161
01:07:59,301 --> 01:08:01,514
- What are you so pissed about?

1162
01:08:01,514 --> 01:08:03,847
I thought you'd be relieved.

1163
01:08:05,444 --> 01:08:06,690
- You know I don't know how I feel,

1164
01:08:06,690 --> 01:08:09,779
but I expect a little bit
more support from you.

1165
01:08:09,779 --> 01:08:12,446
- You don't think I support you?

1166
01:08:13,467 --> 01:08:16,198
- You could at least try
not to act so thrilled

1167
01:08:16,198 --> 01:08:19,337
when you find out you're not
gonna have a baby with me.

1168
01:08:19,337 --> 01:08:21,436
- Why would I not be?

1169
01:08:21,436 --> 01:08:23,041
Are you telling me you wouldn't freak out

1170
01:08:23,041 --> 01:08:24,525
right now if we were pregnant?

1171
01:08:24,525 --> 01:08:25,409
- I'd be terrified.

1172
01:08:25,409 --> 01:08:27,348
I'm not ready for that,
but I'm just saying

1173
01:08:27,348 --> 01:08:29,348
that the prospect of it.

1174
01:08:30,667 --> 01:08:31,750
- What, what?

1175
01:08:34,121 --> 01:08:38,288
- If I had to be a mom,
I'd want it to be with you.

1176
01:08:40,979 --> 01:08:42,823
And, I take it from your
silence, you don't feel

1177
01:08:42,823 --> 01:08:44,258
the same way.

1178
01:08:44,258 --> 01:08:45,091
(crying)

1179
01:08:45,091 --> 01:08:45,924
- [Mark] That's not fair.

1180
01:08:45,924 --> 01:08:47,309
We've never even had a
conversation about it.

1181
01:08:47,309 --> 01:08:48,801
- Well now's a good time as any.

1182
01:08:48,801 --> 01:08:50,012
- No, that is a bad idea.

1183
01:08:50,012 --> 01:08:52,068
Not when we're so emotional.

1184
01:08:52,068 --> 01:08:53,607
- You're right, Mark.

1185
01:08:53,607 --> 01:08:56,526
We should have this conversation
when I'm not emotional.

1186
01:08:56,526 --> 01:08:59,008
Yeah good luck with that.

1187
01:08:59,008 --> 01:09:00,628
- You've never even talked about it.

1188
01:09:00,628 --> 01:09:04,436
We've never had, you never
mentioned having a kid.

1189
01:09:04,436 --> 01:09:06,095
- Just because I've never talked about it

1190
01:09:06,095 --> 01:09:07,731
doesn't mean it hasn't crossed my mind.

1191
01:09:07,731 --> 01:09:09,937
10 minutes ago, I thought
I was gonna be a mom,

1192
01:09:09,937 --> 01:09:12,520
and now that I'm not, I just...

1193
01:09:13,413 --> 01:09:14,246
- What?

1194
01:09:15,112 --> 01:09:16,362
- I don't know.

1195
01:09:18,481 --> 01:09:20,148
I felt disappointed.

1196
01:09:29,270 --> 01:09:32,163
I just want you to talk to me.

1197
01:09:32,163 --> 01:09:33,492
I don't know if I want to have a baby.

1198
01:09:33,492 --> 01:09:34,413
I don't.

1199
01:09:34,413 --> 01:09:37,913
But, I wonder how you would feel about it.

1200
01:09:43,831 --> 01:09:44,914
- About what?

1201
01:09:46,897 --> 01:09:48,980
- About us being parents.

1202
01:09:50,599 --> 01:09:53,079
- I never wanted that.

1203
01:09:53,079 --> 01:09:53,912
- Never?

1204
01:09:55,848 --> 01:09:57,559
You've never wondered
what it'd be like to have

1205
01:09:57,559 --> 01:10:01,375
another person that's half
you, the best parts of you

1206
01:10:01,375 --> 01:10:03,554
running around in their
own little world, never?

1207
01:10:03,554 --> 01:10:05,514
- Who said they would have the best parts?

1208
01:10:05,514 --> 01:10:06,788
You know not everybody's
kid turns out to be

1209
01:10:06,788 --> 01:10:08,619
student of the month.

1210
01:10:08,619 --> 01:10:09,954
What if the kid was like your sister?

1211
01:10:09,954 --> 01:10:11,773
Is that what you want?

1212
01:10:11,773 --> 01:10:13,106
- Don't do that.

1213
01:10:14,049 --> 01:10:16,557
Don't bring our families into this.

1214
01:10:16,557 --> 01:10:18,786
You know lots of people
have troubled pasts,

1215
01:10:18,786 --> 01:10:22,119
and they still turn out to be amazing.

1216
01:10:22,119 --> 01:10:25,430
You can't use that as an excuse
every time you're scared.

1217
01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:26,858
- I'm not scared.

1218
01:10:26,858 --> 01:10:28,236
- Yes you are.

1219
01:10:28,236 --> 01:10:31,562
Your dad was a drunk, so what?

1220
01:10:31,562 --> 01:10:33,172
You're not like him.

1221
01:10:33,172 --> 01:10:34,052
- Is.

1222
01:10:34,052 --> 01:10:36,263
Is a drunk, present tense.

1223
01:10:36,263 --> 01:10:37,220
And, he's not my dad.

1224
01:10:37,220 --> 01:10:38,538
He was barely a donor.

1225
01:10:38,538 --> 01:10:40,312
Not that my mom was any better.

1226
01:10:40,312 --> 01:10:41,593
The only decent thing she ever did for me

1227
01:10:41,593 --> 01:10:44,335
was stay clean for nine months,
so I didn't end up broken.

1228
01:10:44,335 --> 01:10:47,829
The woman who raised
me didn't even want me.

1229
01:10:47,829 --> 01:10:49,662
I was forced upon her.

1230
01:10:50,850 --> 01:10:52,496
She didn't have a choice.

1231
01:10:52,496 --> 01:10:53,663
- But, you do.

1232
01:10:56,639 --> 01:10:59,249
- You're right, and
I'm not gonna apologize

1233
01:10:59,249 --> 01:11:00,605
for knowing what I want.

1234
01:11:00,605 --> 01:11:02,639
I have always known what I want

1235
01:11:02,639 --> 01:11:04,604
and playing dad on the
weekends was never a part

1236
01:11:04,604 --> 01:11:06,355
of the deal.

1237
01:11:06,355 --> 01:11:08,215
I mean is that really what you want

1238
01:11:08,215 --> 01:11:10,886
to be like your parents, To have a kid

1239
01:11:10,886 --> 01:11:13,218
who's genetically prone to alcoholism

1240
01:11:13,218 --> 01:11:16,032
and suicidal tendencies?

1241
01:11:16,032 --> 01:11:16,949
Sign me up.

1242
01:11:18,189 --> 01:11:21,027
- I'm sorry you think
the idea of having a kid

1243
01:11:21,027 --> 01:11:23,194
with me is so off putting.

1244
01:11:30,305 --> 01:11:33,388
- I thought we were on the same page.

1245
01:11:34,398 --> 01:11:35,231
- We were.

1246
01:11:37,325 --> 01:11:39,825
- So where does that leave us?

1247
01:11:44,765 --> 01:11:47,515
- God, I wish I could change you.

1248
01:11:53,758 --> 01:11:54,591
- Wow.

1249
01:11:59,570 --> 01:12:01,903
(sad music)

1250
01:12:04,913 --> 01:12:06,996
(crying)

1251
01:12:19,540 --> 01:12:21,873
(sad music)

1252
01:12:31,579 --> 01:12:33,912
(muttering)

1253
01:12:36,712 --> 01:12:39,045
(sad music)

1254
01:13:16,463 --> 01:13:18,463
- I have to talk to you.

1255
01:13:38,473 --> 01:13:42,640
Last night I got a phone call
from my friend from school.

1256
01:13:44,785 --> 01:13:47,322
She said that her firm's
taking on new designers,

1257
01:13:47,322 --> 01:13:50,822
and she asked me if I wanted an interview.

1258
01:13:53,148 --> 01:13:54,723
It's in Sacramento.

1259
01:13:54,723 --> 01:13:56,890
I think I'm gonna take it.

1260
01:14:12,429 --> 01:14:15,012
Are you not gonna say anything?

1261
01:14:17,902 --> 01:14:20,069
- I'm gonna take a shower.

1262
01:14:21,103 --> 01:14:22,686
I gotta go to work.

1263
01:14:29,841 --> 01:14:31,566
- [Narrator] Gillian had
graduated top of her class

1264
01:14:31,566 --> 01:14:34,706
from the Beryl School of Design.

1265
01:14:34,706 --> 01:14:36,352
Growing up it had always been her dream

1266
01:14:36,352 --> 01:14:40,423
to design for a major
firm in San Francisco.

1267
01:14:40,423 --> 01:14:42,665
But, as Gillian learned the night before,

1268
01:14:42,665 --> 01:14:44,740
dreams can change.

1269
01:14:44,740 --> 01:14:47,073
(sad music)

1270
01:15:09,989 --> 01:15:10,884
- [Sophia] Chef?

1271
01:15:10,884 --> 01:15:11,748
- Yeah.

1272
01:15:11,748 --> 01:15:13,900
- [Sophia] We 86'ed the sea bass.

1273
01:15:13,900 --> 01:15:15,451
- Okay.

1274
01:15:15,451 --> 01:15:17,784
(sad music)

1275
01:16:18,776 --> 01:16:19,609
I'm sorry.

1276
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:22,883
I'm so sorry.

1277
01:16:30,489 --> 01:16:33,300
- They offered me the job.

1278
01:16:33,300 --> 01:16:35,467
I think I'm gonna take it.

1279
01:16:38,286 --> 01:16:42,453
So I think we should put
things on pause for awhile.

1280
01:16:47,416 --> 01:16:48,249
- Pause?

1281
01:16:51,652 --> 01:16:53,985
You're moving to Sacramento.

1282
01:16:58,278 --> 01:17:01,671
- I just think we need some time apart

1283
01:17:01,671 --> 01:17:04,254
just to figure some things out.

1284
01:17:06,081 --> 01:17:07,748
- Figure things out.

1285
01:17:11,777 --> 01:17:15,944
It sounds like you already
figured things out for us.

1286
01:17:18,181 --> 01:17:20,181
- I just need some time.

1287
01:17:24,644 --> 01:17:27,302
- Take all the time you need.

1288
01:17:27,302 --> 01:17:29,635
(sad music)

1289
01:18:22,197 --> 01:18:24,214
- I have to go.

1290
01:18:24,214 --> 01:18:26,547
(sad music)

1291
01:19:28,732 --> 01:19:32,232
- [Narrator] Two years can be a long time.

1292
01:19:35,221 --> 01:19:37,404
- A sandwich shop?

1293
01:19:37,404 --> 01:19:39,116
- Yeah I mean think about it.

1294
01:19:39,116 --> 01:19:41,076
The nail salon next door is closing.

1295
01:19:41,076 --> 01:19:42,245
It's a perfect time to get in.

1296
01:19:42,245 --> 01:19:46,225
Maybe I don't know do breakfast, lunch,

1297
01:19:46,225 --> 01:19:48,558
limited menu, nothing fancy.

1298
01:19:49,921 --> 01:19:51,369
- You sure you want to add extra work?

1299
01:19:51,369 --> 01:19:53,409
I mean we are busy enough.

1300
01:19:53,409 --> 01:19:54,911
- We wouldn't run it.

1301
01:19:54,911 --> 01:19:57,209
It'd just be our brand.

1302
01:19:57,209 --> 01:19:58,518
- So sandwiches?

1303
01:19:58,518 --> 01:20:00,213
- Yeah sandwiches.

1304
01:20:00,213 --> 01:20:04,654
Maybe on the weekends we do
Sunday brunch or something,

1305
01:20:04,654 --> 01:20:05,718
mimosas.

1306
01:20:05,718 --> 01:20:07,785
We could do my crab eggs benedict.

1307
01:20:07,785 --> 01:20:09,368
- Who would run it?

1308
01:20:10,434 --> 01:20:12,697
- How 'bout Sophia?

1309
01:20:12,697 --> 01:20:14,037
- You think she's ready?

1310
01:20:14,037 --> 01:20:15,537
- She's earned it.

1311
01:20:18,145 --> 01:20:19,562
- I can see that.

1312
01:20:21,314 --> 01:20:22,147
No way.

1313
01:20:23,113 --> 01:20:23,946
- What?

1314
01:20:25,005 --> 01:20:27,749
- You're not gonna believe who's here.

1315
01:20:27,749 --> 01:20:28,627
- Who?

1316
01:20:28,627 --> 01:20:31,377
- [Peter] That's Michele Leblanc.

1317
01:20:32,982 --> 01:20:34,732
- You're right it is.

1318
01:20:36,741 --> 01:20:38,155
I'm gonna go talk to him.

1319
01:20:38,155 --> 01:20:40,408
- No, don't do that.

1320
01:20:40,408 --> 01:20:42,491
Mark, what are you doing?

1321
01:20:45,764 --> 01:20:46,931
- Hey Leblanc?

1322
01:20:52,028 --> 01:20:53,998
- Oh hello Mark.

1323
01:20:53,998 --> 01:20:55,948
- Oh so you do know who I am.

1324
01:20:55,948 --> 01:20:58,048
- Well of course I do.

1325
01:20:58,048 --> 01:21:00,017
Well I just came over here to let you know

1326
01:21:00,017 --> 01:21:03,137
your little puff piece
you wrote two years ago,

1327
01:21:03,137 --> 01:21:04,325
it didn't work.

1328
01:21:04,325 --> 01:21:05,445
I didn't haven't had an empty table

1329
01:21:05,445 --> 01:21:07,572
at my place in nine months.

1330
01:21:07,572 --> 01:21:09,018
- Well congratulations.

1331
01:21:09,018 --> 01:21:12,330
That must be so great for you.

1332
01:21:12,330 --> 01:21:13,913
- Yes, it is great.

1333
01:21:15,281 --> 01:21:17,012
Are you trying to be funny?

1334
01:21:17,012 --> 01:21:20,328
- Did you actually think
I wanted you to fail?

1335
01:21:20,328 --> 01:21:21,528
- It would seem that way.

1336
01:21:21,528 --> 01:21:23,056
- That's ridiculous.

1337
01:21:23,056 --> 01:21:24,888
- That's what you critics do, right?

1338
01:21:24,888 --> 01:21:25,772
I mean you don't cook.

1339
01:21:25,772 --> 01:21:26,805
You don't make anything.

1340
01:21:26,805 --> 01:21:29,616
You just sit there and you...

1341
01:21:29,616 --> 01:21:30,474
- Criticize?

1342
01:21:30,474 --> 01:21:31,991
- [Mark] Yes.

1343
01:21:31,991 --> 01:21:33,904
- Thank God for that.

1344
01:21:33,904 --> 01:21:37,464
How would you get any better
if you were never challenged?

1345
01:21:37,464 --> 01:21:39,363
- You are unbelievable.

1346
01:21:39,363 --> 01:21:42,762
You actually think that review
made a difference to me?

1347
01:21:42,762 --> 01:21:45,372
- Well of course it did,
or you wouldn't have come

1348
01:21:45,372 --> 01:21:46,602
all the way over here after two years

1349
01:21:46,602 --> 01:21:50,646
to show me how big your
reservation list is.

1350
01:21:50,646 --> 01:21:52,701
- Well nobody cares about
your little opinions.

1351
01:21:52,701 --> 01:21:53,960
People have been lining
up around the block

1352
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:54,933
to eat my food.

1353
01:21:54,933 --> 01:21:56,665
- They're not lining up to
eat your food, dear boy.

1354
01:21:56,665 --> 01:22:01,544
They're lining up because
you are Bruce Mathison's kid.

1355
01:22:01,544 --> 01:22:04,811
Look when your dad was still cooking,

1356
01:22:04,811 --> 01:22:07,694
he made people care about food.

1357
01:22:07,694 --> 01:22:09,101
Granted his life was a train wreck,

1358
01:22:09,101 --> 01:22:12,184
but in the kitchen, he was an artist.

1359
01:22:14,074 --> 01:22:18,827
Your diners only care about
what part of town they're in.

1360
01:22:18,827 --> 01:22:21,057
- Yeah he was pretty great.

1361
01:22:21,057 --> 01:22:22,047
Everyone keeps telling me.

1362
01:22:22,047 --> 01:22:24,274
It's a shame I must've missed that.

1363
01:22:24,274 --> 01:22:26,027
- Look I'm not his priest.

1364
01:22:26,027 --> 01:22:28,392
I didn't say he was a good person,

1365
01:22:28,392 --> 01:22:32,392
but when you ate his food,
Mark, it felt honest.

1366
01:22:33,436 --> 01:22:36,763
I wrote that review
because I still had hope

1367
01:22:36,763 --> 01:22:39,198
that one day I'll get to meet

1368
01:22:39,198 --> 01:22:41,531
the real Chef Mark Mathison.

1369
01:22:43,369 --> 01:22:44,637
Now this has been a nice chat, Mark,

1370
01:22:44,637 --> 01:22:46,612
but this feels a little inappropriate

1371
01:22:46,612 --> 01:22:49,390
given the circumstances.

1372
01:22:49,390 --> 01:22:51,140
- What circumstances?

1373
01:22:53,974 --> 01:22:55,391
- You don't know?

1374
01:22:56,673 --> 01:22:58,489
- Know what?

1375
01:22:58,489 --> 01:23:01,156
- You should go see your father.

1376
01:23:13,380 --> 01:23:16,547
(thundering crashing)

1377
01:23:24,233 --> 01:23:25,066
- Grandma.

1378
01:23:25,066 --> 01:23:27,483
- Mark, I'm so glad you came.

1379
01:23:28,808 --> 01:23:29,808
- Of course.

1380
01:23:30,881 --> 01:23:34,548
- He can't talk, but I
think he can hear us.

1381
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:38,774
- Is this the son?

1382
01:23:38,774 --> 01:23:41,800
- This is my grandson, Mark.

1383
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,080
- He's heavily sedated,
but you can sit with him

1384
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:45,247
if you'd like.

1385
01:23:46,292 --> 01:23:47,260
- That's okay.

1386
01:23:47,260 --> 01:23:49,397
- You can talk to him.

1387
01:23:49,397 --> 01:23:50,397
It can help.

1388
01:23:52,198 --> 01:23:54,788
- I think that's wonderful.

1389
01:23:54,788 --> 01:23:57,753
I'll be outside in the hall.

1390
01:23:57,753 --> 01:24:00,077
- You don't have to.

1391
01:24:00,077 --> 01:24:02,244
- I'll give you some time.

1392
01:24:05,896 --> 01:24:06,896
- Thank you.

1393
01:24:16,572 --> 01:24:20,655
She said you can hear me,
but why would you start

1394
01:24:22,066 --> 01:24:23,816
listening now, right?

1395
01:24:26,630 --> 01:24:31,587
So I'm just going to stand
here for a few minutes,

1396
01:24:31,587 --> 01:24:32,965
and then I'm gonna open
the door and let her

1397
01:24:32,965 --> 01:24:37,132
back in the room because I
have nothing to say to you.

1398
01:24:38,186 --> 01:24:42,277
I'm here for her just
so you understand that.

1399
01:24:42,277 --> 01:24:45,110
(machine beeping)

1400
01:24:55,608 --> 01:24:57,275
You don't look good.

1401
01:25:01,926 --> 01:25:05,843
I guess this is what I
have to look forward to.

1402
01:25:06,731 --> 01:25:08,481
It's not really fair.

1403
01:25:10,673 --> 01:25:14,173
Mom was so pretty, but who do I look like?

1404
01:25:16,189 --> 01:25:20,837
I wonder do you ever see
pictures of me and think

1405
01:25:20,837 --> 01:25:24,004
wow it's like I'm looking in a mirror?

1406
01:25:29,225 --> 01:25:32,187
I guess it goes both ways.

1407
01:25:32,187 --> 01:25:35,104
(thunder crashing)

1408
01:25:40,801 --> 01:25:43,051
I'll sit down for a minute.

1409
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,447
Just a minute.

1410
01:25:47,578 --> 01:25:50,411
(machine beeping)

1411
01:25:58,222 --> 01:26:00,055
Well here we are, pop.

1412
01:26:06,081 --> 01:26:09,831
I keep having this dream
about Gillian and I.

1413
01:26:11,635 --> 01:26:14,302
And, we're walking in the woods.

1414
01:26:16,282 --> 01:26:19,699
(strange ethereal music)

1415
01:26:37,422 --> 01:26:41,982
And, she's holding my
hand, and all of a sudden,

1416
01:26:41,982 --> 01:26:43,732
she runs ahead of me.

1417
01:26:47,561 --> 01:26:51,938
And, I try to go after
her, but I can't catch up.

1418
01:26:51,938 --> 01:26:53,605
She's too far ahead.

1419
01:26:57,981 --> 01:27:01,398
No matter how hard I try, how fast I run,

1420
01:27:03,765 --> 01:27:05,265
I can't catch her.

1421
01:27:09,419 --> 01:27:13,586
And, it's weird because I've
never been there with her.

1422
01:27:15,511 --> 01:27:19,678
I've only been there one
time, and it was with you.

1423
01:27:20,654 --> 01:27:22,154
You remember that?

1424
01:27:24,889 --> 01:27:26,306
Of course you do.

1425
01:27:31,854 --> 01:27:36,436
I was so little I could
barely keep up with you.

1426
01:27:36,436 --> 01:27:40,103
Or, maybe it was the
other way around maybe.

1427
01:27:42,423 --> 01:27:45,340
Maybe you couldn't keep up with me.

1428
01:27:49,024 --> 01:27:52,191
But, then you took me to a quiet place

1429
01:27:56,518 --> 01:27:57,935
so we could talk.

1430
01:28:01,209 --> 01:28:04,376
That's where you told me mom was dead.

1431
01:28:09,876 --> 01:28:12,709
And, then you didn't say anything.

1432
01:28:14,921 --> 01:28:17,921
You just stood there and let me cry.

1433
01:28:22,059 --> 01:28:24,726
Then you walked back to the car.

1434
01:28:31,078 --> 01:28:34,411
I've never felt so alone in all my life.

1435
01:28:37,455 --> 01:28:40,122
Felt like I was there for hours.

1436
01:28:41,430 --> 01:28:45,180
Those trees getting
longer and longer, scary.

1437
01:28:51,841 --> 01:28:53,174
I felt so alone.

1438
01:28:56,830 --> 01:28:59,150
I've always felt like that.

1439
01:28:59,150 --> 01:29:02,567
(strange ethereal music)

1440
01:29:14,672 --> 01:29:16,209
- [Priest] We take Jesus at his word

1441
01:29:16,209 --> 01:29:18,074
and trust that he will
take Bruce to a room

1442
01:29:18,074 --> 01:29:20,285
in the Father's house.

1443
01:29:20,285 --> 01:29:21,439
God is all merciful.

1444
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,959
God is the father of mercies.

1445
01:29:23,959 --> 01:29:25,740
God does not make a judgment of us

1446
01:29:25,740 --> 01:29:27,816
based on only one part of our life.

1447
01:29:27,816 --> 01:29:29,814
God makes a judgment of us based

1448
01:29:29,814 --> 01:29:31,397
on all of our life.

1449
01:29:32,457 --> 01:29:34,610
Bruce lived a good life
always wanting the best

1450
01:29:34,610 --> 01:29:36,671
for his family.

1451
01:29:36,671 --> 01:29:38,671
God will see that good nature in Bruce

1452
01:29:38,671 --> 01:29:40,695
and reward him for it.

1453
01:29:40,695 --> 01:29:42,855
His death breaks our
hearts, but we trust in God.

1454
01:29:42,855 --> 01:29:46,611
And, we leave him now in God's hands.

1455
01:29:46,611 --> 01:29:47,944
Now let us pray.

1456
01:29:49,260 --> 01:29:51,280
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
I give you my heart

1457
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:52,563
and my soul.

1458
01:29:52,563 --> 01:29:55,993
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
assist me in my last agony.

1459
01:29:55,993 --> 01:29:59,950
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
may I breath forth my soul

1460
01:29:59,950 --> 01:30:01,436
in peace with you.

1461
01:30:01,436 --> 01:30:04,868
Into your hands, oh Lord,
I commend my spirit.

1462
01:30:04,868 --> 01:30:07,701
Lord Jesus, receive my soul, amen.

1463
01:30:28,684 --> 01:30:31,934
- How long are you gonna stay out here?

1464
01:30:35,522 --> 01:30:37,605
- Something I gotta know.

1465
01:30:40,977 --> 01:30:42,394
Why did you come?

1466
01:30:44,641 --> 01:30:45,474
Two years.

1467
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,649
I haven't seen you in two years.

1468
01:30:49,649 --> 01:30:52,649
I never said a good thing about him.

1469
01:30:54,359 --> 01:30:57,955
Why would you come to the
funeral of a man you never met?

1470
01:30:57,955 --> 01:31:00,455
- Your grandmother invited me.

1471
01:31:18,771 --> 01:31:21,996
It sounds selfish, but I guess
I just wanted to sit there

1472
01:31:21,996 --> 01:31:26,249
and listen to all the
stories about the man

1473
01:31:26,249 --> 01:31:29,416
who had a crazy life, lots of friends,

1474
01:31:30,453 --> 01:31:33,953
and so many accomplishments, but messed up

1475
01:31:35,913 --> 01:31:39,580
what could've been the
best part of himself.

1476
01:31:44,147 --> 01:31:45,973
You were his greatest accomplishment,

1477
01:31:45,973 --> 01:31:47,806
and he never knew you.

1478
01:31:49,650 --> 01:31:53,817
I guess I just feel lucky
because I didn't have you

1479
01:31:57,014 --> 01:32:01,014
for very long, but the
time that I did have you,

1480
01:32:03,082 --> 01:32:05,165
it meant the world to me.

1481
01:32:08,417 --> 01:32:11,662
And, I guess I just
wanted to say thank you,

1482
01:32:11,662 --> 01:32:13,245
and that I'm sorry.

1483
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,173
- I'm sorry too.

1484
01:32:20,757 --> 01:32:22,924
I'm sorry for everything.

1485
01:32:22,924 --> 01:32:25,257
(sad music)

1486
01:32:28,037 --> 01:32:29,204
- I should go.

1487
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,083
- Gill, wait.

1488
01:32:40,558 --> 01:32:43,725
Look I know that you're with somebody.

1489
01:32:46,528 --> 01:32:51,387
I just think we should go
somewhere, and we should talk.

1490
01:32:51,387 --> 01:32:53,930
If we could maybe sit down
and just have a coffee.

1491
01:32:53,930 --> 01:32:55,965
I'm not asking for the world here.

1492
01:32:55,965 --> 01:32:59,048
I just need an hour to explain to you

1493
01:33:01,596 --> 01:33:02,513
how I feel.

1494
01:33:03,499 --> 01:33:05,140
- Mark, I can't.

1495
01:33:05,140 --> 01:33:08,057
- I'm not over you, not even close.

1496
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:12,757
I don't know how to be.

1497
01:33:13,865 --> 01:33:15,865
I go to bed every night.

1498
01:33:17,433 --> 01:33:19,604
I call out to you, and
I just keep thinking

1499
01:33:19,604 --> 01:33:21,485
you're just gonna answer.

1500
01:33:21,485 --> 01:33:22,490
- Mark please, please.

1501
01:33:22,490 --> 01:33:26,320
- [Mark] I just wonder if
maybe you feel the same way,

1502
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,053
or you might--

1503
01:33:28,053 --> 01:33:29,303
- I'm pregnant.

1504
01:33:30,301 --> 01:33:32,634
(sad music)

1505
01:33:37,693 --> 01:33:39,276
I'm gonna be a mom.

1506
01:33:40,152 --> 01:33:42,485
(sad music)

1507
01:34:09,892 --> 01:34:11,975
- I'm very happy for you.

1508
01:34:13,086 --> 01:34:15,419
(sad music)

1509
01:34:44,374 --> 01:34:45,624
- [Jeremy] Hey.

1510
01:34:49,717 --> 01:34:50,550
You okay?

1511
01:34:51,468 --> 01:34:52,413
- Yeah I'm fine.

1512
01:34:52,413 --> 01:34:53,663
We can go home.

1513
01:34:58,984 --> 01:35:01,484
(piano music)

1514
01:35:04,474 --> 01:35:06,709
- [Narrator] Eight months
later, Gillian gave birth

1515
01:35:06,709 --> 01:35:08,959
to a seven pound baby girl.

1516
01:35:10,017 --> 01:35:12,850
She name her Naomi for her mother.

1517
01:35:15,408 --> 01:35:18,849
And, the empty feeling she
felt that day in the park

1518
01:35:18,849 --> 01:35:23,234
was filled by a dream
she didn't know she had.

1519
01:35:23,234 --> 01:35:27,401
As time passed, she thought
less and less about Mark.

1520
01:35:29,256 --> 01:35:31,953
But, every so often, she would read

1521
01:35:31,953 --> 01:35:36,120
about popular restaurants and
top chefs in the Bay Area.

1522
01:35:37,695 --> 01:35:40,778
Mark Mathison was always on the list.

1523
01:35:42,188 --> 01:35:44,688
(piano music)

1524
01:36:39,008 --> 01:36:41,425
- Hey look at you doing here.

1525
01:36:42,741 --> 01:36:45,226
Don't you have a life
outside of this place?

1526
01:36:45,226 --> 01:36:47,818
- I come here when I can't sleep.

1527
01:36:47,818 --> 01:36:50,985
You know just so I can make something.

1528
01:36:53,616 --> 01:36:56,581
- You don't have a kitchen at your place.

1529
01:36:56,581 --> 01:36:59,401
- Have you seen my apartment?

1530
01:36:59,401 --> 01:37:00,234
- No.

1531
01:37:01,806 --> 01:37:04,581
- You should come by sometime.

1532
01:37:04,581 --> 01:37:06,748
I mean to see the kitchen.

1533
01:37:09,106 --> 01:37:11,189
I'm sorry about your dad.

1534
01:37:12,785 --> 01:37:14,952
I heard he was great chef.

1535
01:37:18,770 --> 01:37:19,603
- He was.

1536
01:37:23,164 --> 01:37:26,312
He was a lot better than me.

1537
01:37:26,312 --> 01:37:27,979
- You're too modest.

1538
01:37:32,028 --> 01:37:34,528
(happy music)

1539
01:37:35,620 --> 01:37:37,507
- What are you making?

1540
01:37:37,507 --> 01:37:39,512
- I don't know yet.

1541
01:37:39,512 --> 01:37:42,893
My sister, she sends me
these apples from Washington.

1542
01:37:42,893 --> 01:37:45,052
They're the best.

1543
01:37:45,052 --> 01:37:49,219
But, I haven't decided what
I'm going to do with them yet.

1544
01:37:50,410 --> 01:37:52,788
Do you want to help me?

1545
01:37:52,788 --> 01:37:55,288
(happy music)

1546
01:37:58,007 --> 01:37:59,507
- I would love to.

1547
01:38:01,592 --> 01:38:04,092
(happy music)

1548
01:41:11,432 --> 01:41:14,349
(galloping horses)

1549
01:41:16,922 --> 01:41:18,646
- [Child] Guards!

1550
01:41:18,646 --> 01:41:21,396
(kids laughing)
