You made it.

- Man, let's go!
- Oh, man.

narrator: 18 aspiring chefs
with big hopes...

To walk through
those doors and be

one of Chef Gordon Ramsay's
executive chefs,

that's the dream.

narrator: Arrived eager
to impress Chef Ramsay.

- Got it, baby.
- Coming from where I come

from, North Philadelphia,

you don't get a lot
of opportunity.

narrator: And achieve
the American Dream.

Look at Marino!
Look at Marino!

When I have my eye
on a prize,

I know that I'm gonna get it,
and I know

I'm gonna win this.

narrator: Which is
part hard work--

Oh!

Come here!
What planet are you on?

America, Earth.

Oh, God.

You tell planet Earth
this is embarrassing!

raw.
narrator: Perseverance--

My body is currently
giving up on me.

You need to dig deep.
You've done that

in your life, right?
- Yes, Chef.

I want to be a [bleep]--
a great chef.

narrator: And a willingness
to sacrifice.

We all know how to cook.

I want to be home
with my [bleep] kids!

narrator:
Many dreams were dashed.

And now, just two remain.

Johnathan, Ryan.

narrator: Johnathan,
a proud father.

My daughter tells me
every day,

"Daddy, you're the best chef
in the world."

It tastes like you've been
cooking since the age of five

'cause you're gonna get a five.

Well done.
- Thank you.

narrator:
An executive sous chef

from Huntington Beach,
California...

Two strips, 4 minutes.

- Nicely cooked, Johnathan.
- Thank you.

narrator: Proved his passion
matched his skills.

The Punishment Pass,
congratulations, Johnathan.

Well done.

narrator: Determined to change
his daughter's life forever.

It just kind of
reminds me of home.

- That's so good.
- Thank you.

Having a daughter, it makes me
want to make my family proud.

I'm putting my daughter
on my back,

and we're going to
the finish line.

I know you can
make this work.

Thank you, Chef.

narrator:
His worthy opponent is Ryan.

You're gonna have to
call a fire brigade

to cut me out of here.
I'll tell you that much.

I'm not going anywhere.
- got you.

narrator:
A spirited chef de cuisine

all the way from
Cork, Ireland--

Leave that there.
I'm eating that.

Off you go.
- Thank you, Chef.

I'm feeling I am the epitome
of the American Dream.

I've worked my absolute
bollocks off

to be where I am today.

narrator: Who came
to prove that cooking

is not only in his blood...
- My father was a chef.

Me and him, ever since
I've been five years of age,

we've been watching you
on the TV.

Since five?
Are we that old?

Yeah.

narrator:
It will be his legacy.

I have a black jacket
for you as well, young man.

narrator: The two finalists
started as teammates.

Oh, these are beautiful.
These are beautiful.

- Yeah, these look great.
- Let's [bleep] go!

narrator:
And their friendship blossomed

into a bit of a bromance.

Woo!

Ryan and I got our first date.

I plan on standing at
the doors, looking at you.

- And my door opens.
- Yeah?

narrator: And tonight--

Four covers, table five.

narrator:
It's the final battle.

This is it. This is
my reputation on the line

for the rest of my life.

Sandra, make sure
it's [bleep] seasoned.

We have a big problem
on the meat station.

One dinner service away from
my life forever changing.

Watch your temps, OK?
- I got you.

narrator: And the American
Dream is on the line.

Jason, let's go.
Yeah, I need it.

- It's not ready.
- hell.

Two lamb, D.

- Coming as fast as I can.
- They're raw.

Do not [bleep] it up
right now.

Touch that sauce.
It's ice cold.

- A.
- Deal with it, yes?

narrator: Who will become
the head chef

at Gordon Ramsay's
Hell's Kitchen Restaurant

at Caesars Palace
in Las Vegas?

- Put it up, brother.
- Love you, man.

narrator: Whose life
will change forever?

Gentlemen, this is it.

narrator:
Find out right now...

One...

narrator: On the epic
season finale...

Two...

narrator: Of "Hell's Kitchen."

Three.

narrator: And now,
the conclusion

of "Hell's Kitchen,
The American Dream."

Yo, my guy! My guy!

Yes!

The [bleep] final!

Ah!

Yes!

Yo, congrats!

I'm overwhelmed with emotion.

It's so crazy that
I made it to the finale.

I did it for you, Saxon.

- Congrats, bro.
- Ah!

I have worked
my absolute bollocks off

to be where I am today.

28 years of age, I'm on the
biggest stage of the world.

And you know,
the best of me is yet to come.

All right,
so I'm just gonna draw

a picture of Jason
really quick.

I'm feeling really, really
good about this team.

Bar one,
Jason's a bit of a [bleep],

so yeah, there's that.

Is it a penis?

You're gonna win tomorrow,
just so you know.

You're welcome.

I feel really, really good
about my team, dude.

So I'm [bleep] hyped.

Listen, I'm not gonna scream
either, tomorrow, guys.

I don't work like that.

I just like to, like,
get behind you guys

and get the good vibe going.
- Yeah.

100%, bro.

Being in charge
and being the boss

isn't about being loud.

It isn't about
beating people down.

I want us to have
such a smooth service,

and cook such badass food,

and do it with smiles.

If I just cook with my heart,
like I do always,

and lead tomorrow night,
I'm going to win.

And then the lamb chop's
gonna be on meat.

That's an app.

It's gonna be like
a double chop.

So basically, we just got
to get ahead on those.

Yeah.

I was thinking
Dahmere on meat.

I feel good with that.
- Got you.

The person I'm most concerned
about tomorrow is Johnathan.

He hasn't been
very vocal in the kitchen.

That's absolutely fine.

You know,
he has two vocal powerhouses

between me and Donya.
- Heck yeah.

It's going to get done
one way or another.

Chicken and dumplings,

so that's gonna be
meat and garnish.

And I was thinking
Donya on garnish.

Heard, Chef. I got you.

I'm feeling great, yo.

I'm on Johnathan's team,
and he's laid back.

New York strip,
straightforward New York strip.

- OK, cool.
- Heard.

The only thing that
I'm worried about is

Johnathan playing it too safe.

This is a menu that
is not too difficult.

But hopefully, it's enough
to get the job done.

And then I was thinking
Leigh for apps.

I'm so down.
I love rocking apps.

I really do.
- I know.

I feel like
you can start strong,

and work really clean,

and get the station dialed in.

I just kind of assumed
that Johnathan

was gonna have a little
bit more of an ego

going into this finale.

Not that I'm surprised,
but like...

I'm a little bit surprised.

I'm so hype.
- I am, too.

Yeah, yeah.

I feel really confident, dude.

This is the first course,
grilled red, golden baby beets.

Like what the [bleep].

What the [bleep]?

- What's wrong?
- This! Like really?

This is insanity.
- Yes, this is real, baby.

- What the [bleep]?
- It's real.

It just hit me
what I was doing.

So real.

I've never been more ready

for anything
in my entire life,

to take the reins

and lead this team
into victory tomorrow.

- What does that say?
- Vol-au-vent.

Vol-au-vent.

V-O-L...

V-O-L space A-U space
V-A-N-T.

Vol-au-vent. It's very French.

I'm not at all surprised
that Chef Ryan picked me.

Skill-wise,
I 100% think I'm an asset.

He's gonna spoon
the beurre noisette over.

And I'm gonna spoon--I'm
gonna spoon the beurre noisette

over the scallops
when they're on the plate, OK?

Let's go over what
we're doing, then we--

at least we can all
read and [bleep].

- Jason?
- No, nothing.

Yes, I thought so.

It was nothing about you.

We're all a team here, no?
And that's done.

So cold app, hot app.
OK, so next?

Pan-seared scallops,

and it's going to be
with cauliflower veloute.

Cauliflower puree.

A really, really, like,
saucy cauliflower puree.

What is that word then?

- Veloute.
- Veloute.

It's just a French term.

I think Ryan is showing
great leadership skills,

but the menu is very French.

And I don't have any
classic French training

and already am feeling
a little bit nervous.

Vo la vue?

Is that the same
veloute from the--

No, that's chicken.

Oh, God, I've definitely
mispronounced that.

And then we have
our beurre noisette.

Can you just speak it
in, like, normal terms,

like brown butter?
- Brown butter, sorry.

Yeah, so brown butter.
- Sorry, but like--

- No, that's fine. It's just--
- Thank you.

- Hey, it's just my take, yeah?
- Sorry, Chef.

Oh, man.

I think Ryan's got
a solid, super strong,

buff, strong menu.

But like doing and executing
is--is another thing.

So again, we're gonna go
super classic,

but we're just updating it,
modernizing it.

Sexifying it.

Exactly, sexy and edgy.

That's the name of tomorrow, yeah?

- Sexy, edgy.
- Sexy and edgy.

What are we?
together: Sexy and edgy!

What is the key to
a great service?

together: Sexy and edgy!

Turn around and tell
the person behind you!

together: Sexy and edgy!

Sexy and edgy, huh?
Can't wait to make a T-shirt.

narrator: With a full night
of menu planning

under their belts...
- Come on, guys.

narrator: Both teams
hit the ground running

for a dinner service
that will change

one chef's life forever.

This is your chicken veloute
for cold apps.

Check your ovens,
pull out proteins.

Oh, my God.

One dinner service away from
my life forever changing.

Today's your day.
I'm here for you.

My team is just rock solid.

We're looking good.

I just have to rise
to the occasion.

Proud of you guys.
- You too, dude.

- Thank you.
- Love you, guys.

- That means a lot.
- Love you, guys.

Oh.

Everybody OK with
what they're doing now, yes?

- Yes, Chef.
- Everybody knows?

I'm in my element.
You know, this is me to a T.

Season, taste, season,
taste again.

Teach me your ways,
oh, teacher.

Jason, chop-chop.

Everybody knows
exactly what they're doing

and when they're
supposed to be doing it.

And when the time comes,

I will lead everybody
to success.

You want me to cut
the bones off the chicken?

They should be already off,
I think. Just double check.

No, they still
have the bone, Chef.

I'm on meat.

It's where he wants
me to be because

proteins are the starlight of
each plate.

And you want to make sure that
they are cooked properly.

Look at that.
Beautiful.

That's why you chose me.

You know,
Jason's a great chef.

He just has a [bleep] attitude.

Chef Ryan,
the least you could do

is give me your attention.

Well, you know,
we're all [bleep] adults.

And we have to own it
and look it in the [bleep] eye.

Easy, fellas.

Do we have goat cheese
we can roll, or--

- It's already done, Chef.
- I'm just asking.

You know,
I'm just gonna stop asking.

I can deal with him
for one more night

if he just gives me some
really good cooking skills.

You say "jump,"
I say "giddy up."

Johnathan, Chef Ramsay wants
to see you in his office.

Thank you.

- Hi. Good morning.
- How are you?

Oh, good, indeed. Thank you.
How are you?

Good.
I got a lot of emotions.

I'm feeling it, today.

This journey's
been incredible.

You are one performance
away from becoming

my next head chef.
- I can feel it.

I'm ready for my life
to change, Saxon's life.

I want to go home and tell her
we're moving to Vegas.

Somebody wants to see you.

Oh, what?

Saxon! Saxon!

Daddy!

- Oh!
- Daddy!

- Saxon.
- Daddy.

Daddy! Daddy!
- Oh!

- Oh, my goodness, me.
- I know.

- Oh, my goodness, me.
- It's been a long time.

Aw, honey.
- Daddy!

You're doing it, dude.

You're doing it.
- Daddy!

I'm so happy
I got to see her.

Being away from her has taken
such an emotional toll on me.

What did you tell me
this morning?

Don't yell at my dad.

Sit down and catch up.

- Thank you, Chef.
- I'll see you shortly.

- Thank you.
- Aw, thank you.

- Enjoy.
- Saxon!

Daddy!

- Oh, she made you something.
- What did you make?

It starts with me and you.

How sweet would
blueberry muffins be?

Oh, my gosh.

Look, is that us cooking?
Is that our hands?

Yeah, that--that's me
taking a blueberry muffin.

And you're putting in
the next batch of muffins.

Wow, this is so beautiful.

I'm so proud of you.

Give me a big kiss.

I feel so motivated
and so proud

to cook for my life tonight

and to know that my family
is gonna be tasting my food.

Let me tell you my menu.
- OK.

So it's based around
my family.

Tuna poke to start.

That comes from
being our "fancy night,"

and that's the dish that
Giada gave me a perfect 10 on.

And my second dish is
glazed carrot ravioli.

And who is it based on?

It's based on
Grandma's burnt carrots.

Remember, we have them
all the time at home?

I made them
a couple days ago.

- Did you? Yeah.

I feel like nothing
can stop me at this point.

Nothing can stop me.

Kiss me.

Oh, thank you.

narrator: Coming up,
the final two chefs face off

in their most epic battle yet.

This is going to be the most
important service of our lives.

Let's go! Let's go, guys.

narrator: Which one
will rise to the occasion?

Sandra, season the water, OK?

Make sure it's
seasoned.

Doesn't matter what
the [bleep] it is.

It needs to be right.

No more [bleep] ups.
I expect perfection.

Let's go, chicken.
I need it now!

You can't say I need it now
when it's not ready.

narrator: And which chef's
American Dream...

OK, I need two lamb, D.

I'm coming as fast as I can!

I did not think that

Dahmere would [bleep] me
on my lamb chops.

We have a big problem
on the meat station.

narrator: Will come true?

Little bit of butter.

Ryan, Chef Ramsay
wants to see you.

Yeah.

Chef calls, you move.

- Hey.
- Chef.

- You good?
- Fantastic.

Good. Good. How's it going?

You know, I'm confident
in the team.

I'm confident in the plates.

You're one service,
young man,

one service away
from winning this thing.

One service for
the rest of my life.

That's the way I see it.

I want to remind you
what you're fighting for.

Uh, excuse me, miss.

Welcome.
- Hi.

Jennifer, so nice to see you.

I haven't seen my wife
in like five weeks.

So like just to see
how beautiful she is again,

I am punching
well above my weight.

What, you missed her?

Oh, my God, more than--
more than anything.

I am so happy that our
travel partners, Allegiant,

could fly you in this morning.

It's such a shame
that Dad couldn't be here.

Yeah, absolutely.

And maybe next time
I'm in Ireland,

he can host me a dinner.

I [bleep] told you.

I told you I'd be here.
I told you.

Gordon.

It's not only my dream.
It's his dream.

- Good to see you, sir.
- Pleasure.

Chef is his idol,
and I'm so happy that

he could be a part of it.

Thank you so much for coming.

I'll see you shortly.

Oh, my God.

- Ryan.
- Oh, my good, good God.

All that we talked about.

We both know how much
this means,

not only to me,
but to you, too.

And what makes this
just so much better for me

is the fact that we all know
I've never cooked for you.

What a place to do it,

on the world's biggest
platform, you know,

to cook my first meal
for--for my dad, you know?

That's fantastic.
I love you, boy.

- I know. I love you, too.
- And you got this.

You got this.
- I do.

That's a long, long journey
to make, and he's here.

Like my mother and father,
like, were always there for me,

no matter what.

Just having them here
with me right now

just gives me extra fuel
to go win it.

You got this, guys.

narrator: After an emotional
day in Hell's Kitchen,

Chef Ramsay has summoned
the two finalists

for a pre-service briefing.

- Gents.
- Yes, Chef.

Take a seat.

I just want to quickly check in
with both of you.

We good?
- Yes, Chef.

What a journey.

I just want to say congrats
to both of you.

Thank you so much
for everything.

Tonight, you need to
make it clear

that you're the head chef.
- Yes, Chef.

So take charge of your teams
and own this service.

Yes, Chef.

To help you both get
in the right mindset,

I want to take a little moment
and give you these.

Oh, wow.

That's right.
Let's get them on, guys.

Yes, Chef.

This executive chef jacket

is just the pinnacle
of everything.

This is something
I will have forever.

It just is an absolute
surreal moment to have that.

This is a beautiful,
beautiful jacket.

Like if I get it dirty,
I don't care.

I'm not washing it.

I'm hanging it up
on my [bleep] wall,

like boom, boom, boom.

You've got something
quite extraordinary tonight,

cooking for Dad,
and for the first time.

Sadly, I didn't get a chance
to cook for my father.

My father passed at 53
with a heart attack.

So he never got to see
anything I'd done.

That really strung on
my heart.

I can only imagine
how proud his father

would be of him, you know.

And you know how proud
my father is of me.

This one's for you, Dad.

I want both of you
to take all that hunger,

all that passion,
and give me a service

that shows the entire world

that dreams are made
in America.

Make it count tonight.

- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.

I'd like to wish you both
the very best of luck.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything, Chef.
- Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Thank you, Chef.

Let's go.

I'm wearing the jacket.

You know,
I'm standing in the spot.

I'm ready to rock.

You know, this is
a "pinch me" moment.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you so much

for joining us
on this historic night.

I'd like to introduce now
our two incredible finalists,

Ryan and Johnathan.

Ryan, why don't you
give our guests

an insight on
what they're going to be

tasting this evening and
how much this American Dream

means to you?

So hello, everybody.

I'm Ryan.
I'm from Ireland.

I came here four years ago
with pennies in my pocket

and a dream in my heart.

And I worked my ass off, and
here I am, standing in front

of you, living my dream.

The food I prepared
for you tonight

is me on a plate,
some dishes that my father

taught me how to cook.

And I just want to pay
homage to my family

and cook from my heart.
So please enjoy.

Amazing.
Well done.

Johnathan, give our guests
an insight to the magic

you've created in the menu...
- Hi, guys.

And what this dream
and journey means to you,

personally, young man.

Yes, Chef.

You know, food is
everything to my family.

My mom and dad are over there.

And now, being a single dad,
my daughter is five.

So it's not only my
American Dream, it's hers.

And I push myself for her.

So my menu is just
the emotions that I

cook with for my family to
my daughter, on the plate.

So thank you guys so much.

Now tonight, one of
these two talented chefs

will be crowned as
my executive chef

at Hell's Kitchen Caesars
Palace Las Vegas,

a prize worth a very cool
quarter of a million dollars.

Right, ladies and gentlemen,

join me in wishing these
two phenomenal chefs

the very best of luck.

Dinner service
will begin shortly.

Let's go.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

This is going to
be the most important

service of our lives.

Woo! Come on, Ryan!

I've never cooked
for him, not once.

- Wow.
- So tonight, I want you

to put your hearts
on a plate for me.

We're going to be--

- Sexy and edgy!
- Yes, Chef.

- OK, let's go. Let's go!
- Yes, Chef! Woo!

We worked really hard.
This the last night.

Just push it hard.

Cook with your heart, guys.

I am so ready to go
out there and crush

this dinner service
for my mom and my dad

and for my daughter.

Thank you guys a lot.
I appreciate it.

We got you.

narrator: For the 22nd time,

two chefs
are going head to head

in a life-changing battle.

- Cheers.
- Cheers to Ryan.

Go Ryan.

He's looking good right now.

Yeah. Hi, Johnny!

narrator: Ryan, the
chef from Cork, Ireland.

This is going to be
one of the best services,

I promise you,
you will ever do!

- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.

narrator: And Johnathan,

the chef from Huntington
Beach, California.

The coolest chef coat I've
ever [bleep] had in my life.

It's my executive chef coat.

That's the only one
that counts, baby.

Chicken and dumplings.

- Gonna be a good menu.
- Yeah.

I'll do the pan-seared
scallops, the lobster ravioli,

and the lemon for dessert

Ready?
First ticket.

Thank you.
OK, guys.

Four guests,
two poke, two lamb.

- Heard.
- Just like that, guys.

All night.
- Yes, Chef.

OK, first ticket, two beet
salads, two vol-au-vent.

- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef!

Two beet, two vol-au-vent.

Get your vol-au-vents in.

Beet salad is going to
be half the plate, OK?

Yes, Chef.

Taste, taste,
taste everything.

You know, this is it.

I really hope that
Chef Ramsay sees

that I can lead a kitchen.

How long do we
need to the pass?

Two vol-au-vent, two
beet salad in five minutes.

Heard that.
This is the golden ticket.

Get this one right,
and the rest of the service

will go [bleep] perfectly.

Let's go, beet salad.
Let's go.

I got it.

This vol-au-vent
can't wait for anybody.

I need it right now.

Ryan, right now,
is really channeling

his inner Chef Ramsay.

He definitely needs
perfection out of us.

Let's go, beet salad.

Let's go.

Right here, in my
hands, 10 seconds.

Ryan is such an amazing
leader, so in control,

so organized.

He really deserves this
head chef position,

and I'm going to
be really surprised

if he doesn't get it.

Two beet salads to the pass.

Let's go, Sammi. Thank you.

Beet salad to the pass.
Down, down, down, down.

Beautiful.
Very nice.

OK, yes, Chef.

Dahmere,
how long on the lamb?

We two minutes
out on the lamb.

- Heard.
- Two poke right behind.

Heard on the two poke behind.

I'll follow.

My team is just rock solid,

and tonight's a celebration of
how far they've come as cooks.

And it just feels really,
really nice to have that.

OK, I need lamb, Dahmere,
as soon as possible.

I got a lamb in my hand.
Lamb walking.

Heard. Lamb walking.

Tonight,
I'm on the meat station.

I got a lot of responsibility
with tonight's service.

- Give me the lamb.
- Lamb. OK.

So I'm going to lock in
and knock the

out the box.

Johnathan,
come over, quickly.

Look.

What is this?

narrator: It's 20 minutes
into the final dinner service.

Give me the lamb.
The lamb, OK.

narrator: And Dahmere's
first attempt at lamb--

They're raw.

narrator: Is in serious need
of shepherding.

So they got to go
back in the pan.

They've gotta help you
with it now.

- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.

Yes, Chef.

the raw lamb, Dahmere.

Tonight is not the night
for stupid mistakes.

Dahmere, come here, come here.

You got to get this
back in the pan.

So put these in and baste it.

And then more oil, less heat.

I got you. Yes, sir.

Johnathan is amazing.

We're cooking for him,
his family, his American Dream.

- I need one poke right now.
- Coming right now.

Walking one poke.

Nice.

And you know,
every time we plate,

it's for his family.

And I feel so connected

because I'm a mom as well.

OK, I need two lamb, D.

To lamb in my hand,
coming now.

Two lamb in my hand.
Walking.

Always test it.

- Beautiful.
- Beautiful, there you go.

narrator: With Dahmere
getting out of his lamb jam...

Send it. Send it.

narrator: Johnathan's first
appetizers are a big hit.

Delicious.

narrator: While over in
the red kitchen,

Ryan's next ticket is
hitting close to home.

- This is your family, OK?
- Thank you.

OK, walking in.
This is a V-V-VIP.

This is my father
and my wife, OK?

- Yes, Chef.
- Two scallops.

Two scallops heard, Chef.

This is the first time
I've cooked for my father, OK,

so let's make it count,
OK, guys?

Give me five minutes
on those scallops, yes?

Five minutes on scallops.
Heard.

To have his father there,
like, traveling from Ireland,

to come all this way,
and, like, see his son,

I'm gonna--I'm gonna well up
again, you know?

60 seconds on two scallops.
- Heard that.

This is his service
of a lifetime.

And you want to do
your absolute best,

like, for his father
and for his wife.

Walking scallops.

In the middle, yes?
In the middle.

Thank you.

Sandra, come here.

Quick! Let's go.
- Yes, Chef?

I need these
even-seared, yes?

- Yes, Chef.
- Quick sear

on the other side, OK?
Let's go. This is VIP.

I'm losing it right now.

It's her first mistake.
I give her one chance.

If she [bleep] up again,

she'll see a different side
to me.

Make sure they're
the best scallops

you've ever cooked
in your life.

- Yes, Chef!
- No more [bleep] ups.

I expect perfection.

They look ready.
They look ready.

Scallops in the middle,
please. Let's go!

Walking scallops.

- Nice, much better.
- Yes, Chef.

Two scallops up.
Thank you.

narrator: With both Ryan's...

- It's absolutely divine.
- Yeah.

narrator:
And Johnathan's appetizers

receiving high marks from
their nearest and dearest...

That's pretty darn good.

narrator: Appetizers are now
rolling out of both kitchens

and impressing diners.

- Mmm!
- Wow.

narrator:
And Johnathan's team is ready

for their first entrees
of the night.

OK, guys. I need one chicken,

one branzino, two strips.

- Heard!
- How long? How long?

Bro, I'd only need
four minutes.

- Four minutes.
- Heard four minutes.

Let's go.
Let's go, guys.

Chicken is going down.
So is the New York strip.

There's a lot on the line.

You know, Johnathan going
for his American Dream.

Service started off
a little rocky,

so I feel as though
I need to make sure

I put the best effort
into making this ticket

perfect as possible.

Dahmere, two strip, how long?

90 seconds on
this two strip, OK?

- Please, please, please.
- I'm coming as fast as I can.

I'm getting a little
nervous for Johnathan.

The meat station is the
backbone of this service,

and Dahmere is
definitely overwhelmed.

Bring 'em, bring 'em,
bring 'em.

Don't forget sauce
with those strips.

Come on, dude.

Keep on pushing and get
this win for Johnathan.

Chicken,
New York to your right.

Yes.

Just touch that sauce.

Ice cold. Ice cold.
- OK.

A,
this cold sauce

is honestly killing me,
Dahmere.

Dahmere, come here.
- Yo.

- Heat this up in the back.
- I got you.

I got you. I got you.
- Ice [bleep] cold.

I did not think
that Dahmere would

me on my lamb chops
and [bleep] me on my sauce.

I need Dahmere to figure out
this meat station

because
it's [bleep] sinking us.

Not nearly
enough color on that.

- !
- We have a big problem there

now--we have a big problem
on the meat station.

Young man?
- Yeah?

happens.
Deal with it, yes?

- Yes, Chef.
- Welcome to my world.

Donya, Donya.

I need you to be on meat.
I'm sorry, D. I'm so sorry.

That's fine.
Switch out, switch out.

- Can you go to garnish?
- Yeah. I got you.

Donya, I need you to
put these in the pan.

Baste them how long?

Give me 90 seconds
on this, Chef.

- 90 seconds.
- 90 seconds.

- I need you to cook that meat.
- I got you.

90 seconds.
- Let's go, guys.

Push hard, please!

I know Donya can cook meat
like a [bleep] dream.

Yes, Chef.
I'm moving.

I'm walking in 30 seconds.

This is my moment.

This is the most important
dinner service of my life,

and it's important
I prove to Chef Ramsay

why I can be the next
winner of Hell's Kitchen.

Behind, coming in hot.

thank you, Donya.

Thanks, Donya.

I already know
what time it is.

It's time to get off
the bench and sub in.

Let's go!
Let's go!

I'm like Steph Curry
at the half court, bro.

I'm pulling out clutch shots.

- Beautiful.
- Beautiful.

There you go.

I don't think I've had
a better steak in my life.

narrator:
With Johnathan's switch

on the meat station
paying off...

- Hey, you made the right move.
- I know, Chef.

narrator: Ryan is
determined to keep

his team focused on pushing
entrees out for his.

VIP, my father and my wife!

Make this the best dish you've
ever cooked in your life,

please!
Two lobster ravioli fired.

How long?
- Two lobster, five minutes!

Taste everything, OK?

Yes, Chef!

I know what this guy wants.

And, you know, I, too,
have high expectations.

Sandra...

season the water, OK?
- Yes, Chef.

Make sure
it's [bleep] seasoned.

I went through all
this trouble to make

these beautiful raviolis.

We're not going to
them up in seasoning, OK?

Yes, Chef.
I'll season more.

It doesn't matter
what the [bleep] it is.

It needs to be right.

- Walking ravioli.
- You know what I mean?

If it's a chive or an onion
or a glass of water,

I don't give a [bleep].
It needs to be right.

sakes, Sandra.

Sandra!
- Yes, Chef?

Please, [bleep] like it.

narrator: It's 90 minutes
into the final dinner service,

and Ryan is looking
for perfection...

Taste everything, OK?

Yes, Chef.

narrator: For a very special
VIP table.

Walking ravioli.

Sandra!

Yes, Chef?

Beautifully cooked
on that lobster.

Thank you, Chef.

- VIP, please, table 6.
- Absolutely.

narrator: As Ryan's entrees
get some Irish eyes smiling...

- Looks good.
- It's absolutely amazing.

narrator: Johnathan's
dishes are delighting

his family, as well.

Yeah, that's so good.

It's wonderful.

narrator: And main courses
are leaving both kitchens

in a timely manner.

Two chickens
walking to the pass.

Let's go, baby!

- Walking two salmon.
- Keep it up, guys.

Keep it up!

narrator: Leaving diners
with culinary pots of gold.

It's amazing.

That's good.

narrator: And now, both
kitchens are on their...

Final table.

Two branzino,
two New York strips, OK?

- Heard!
- How long?

Two branzino, two New
York strips in four minutes.

Heard.
Four minutes, garnish in three.

Let's go!

Two surf and turf,
one rav, one chicken.

- Yes, Chef!
- One chicken.

Make sure the chicken
is perfect, please, OK?

Yes, Chef.

They're notorious
for fumbling when we

get closer to the finish line.

So make sure you
keep pushing them.

- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, and this lady knows

more about that than anybody.
- Absolutely.

She's been in your shoes.
And her [bleep] door opened.

Let's push, now.
Let's push!

Push it, guys.
Last entrees.

We're pushing it.
Let's go. Let's go!

Right now, you know,
making the switch

and finding my voice, I feel
like I'm hitting my stride.

Let's go, guys!
Let's [bleep] go.

Two branzinos,
two strips, one minute.

Keep pushing.
You can do this.

I know you can do this.
- Yes.

We hit a couple of bumps,
but it doesn't matter.

We bounced back.

I got 30 seconds
on these two branzinos.

- Heard.
- Finish strong.

- Yes, Chef!
- Yes, Chef!

Come on, guys.
Last push!

Give me this chicken!
- It's not ready.

- Hell. Hey.
- Let's go. Come on.

Not on the last table.
Don't do that.

Come on, Jason!

I have one last chicken
breast I need to send out.

But at the same time,
I need a little bit longer.

Jason, come on.
Let's go.

Yeah, I need this.
Let's go!

Let's go!
Let's go!

Jason, do not
it up, right now.

Chicken walking.

sake.

So that's undercooked.

Jason brings up
undercooked chicken.

There's no time
for rookie mistakes.

My American Dream
is going to come true.

Jason, [bleep] sake.

Back in the oven, yes?
Come on!

This is my reputation on the
line for the rest of my life.

Let's go, back in
the [bleep] oven!

Let's go!
Finish strong!

last push!
Come on, Jason!

Let's go, chicken.
I need it now!

You can't say I need it
now when it's not ready.

This is, right now,
about Chef Ryan.

And I want Chef Ryan
to win, no matter what.

Chef!

Let's go.
Service please, last table.

Beautiful, thank you.

- It's really good.
- Yeah.

Push it, guys.
Last entrees.

Behind you and hot.

Chefs walking.
- Right here.

Right here.
Right here.

Nice. See?
They're ready.

Yes, [bleep] beautiful steak!

narrator: Ryan and
Johnathan have each

sent out their final ticket.

I love it.

narrator: And now
the diners can appreciate

that Ryan and Johnathan

are among the most
worthy finalists ever

in the history
of "Hell's Kitchen."

My appetizer was good.

Jason?

- What's up, buddy?
- Great [bleep] job.

You know, Ryan and I haven't
always seen eye to eye,

but he's a great cook.

And you know, we did
great food tonight.

So good.

He was very vocal.
He was very supportive.

And, you know, I just
think there's not a shadow

of a doubt that he won this.

Best part of my
dining experience...

it was watching my son
cooking with Gordon Ramsay,

my idol, as well.

- Great [bleep] job, everybody.
- Yes.

I've never been so
proud of a [bleep] group

of people in all my life.
- That was really true.

I'm proud of you
and everyone in here,

everyone in this room.

I feel it, Ryan. I feel it.
- Everybody's done a great job.

I'm so proud of
you guys, dude.

You too, Johnathan.
You did amazing.

You did a hell of a job, bro.

You guys crushed it, bro.

Johnathan has more than
what it takes

to be the winner
of "Hell's Kitchen," man.

The way he thinks
about food, the way

he pour his heart
onto a plate--

he's more than a leader.

I am so ready to see him
live out his American Dream.

Whatever happens,
I'm proud of what happened.

I'm proud of the food we did.
- Yeah, that's it.

And that's all that matters.

I want to take this moment

and thank
all the returning chefs.

The performance tonight
you put in for both Johnathan

and Ryan was extraordinary.
Come on.

Really good.

Having read these
comment cards,

the competition is so close.

Seriously, both of you
young men, congratulations.

I'm going to be going
upstairs to my office

and studying every comment
from both teams' kitchens.

And based on
tonight's performance,

I can assure
you've made my decision

very, very difficult.

Your challenge is over.

Mine, right now,
is just beginning.

So all of you, together,
head back to the dorms.

Crack open a bottle of
Guinness, crack open a...

Never again.

- You're allowed!
- No, not tonight.

- What would you like?
- Nothing, Chef.

- Just one, young man!
- Water.

I'll have a water with you,
OK? We'll keep it PG.

I'll have a little
Guinness, and that's it.

There you go. OK.

All of you,
head back to the dorms.

Ryan and Johnathan, I'll call
you when I've made my decision.

- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.

- Good luck to you both.
- Thank you, Chef.

Head off.
Well done.

Thank you, Chef.

Thank you, guys.
Thank you.

I poured my heart
and soul into every

piece of food
I put on a plate tonight.

There's
Guinness in the fridge!

Guinness!

I think I commanded
loud, proud.

My team did [bleep] phenomenal.

I'm so proud of all of them.

It was absolutely amazing.

Boy!

I feel like I've got
a chance to do this.

I really do. But again,
it's "Hell's Kitchen."

Anything could happen.

Whatever kitchen you in,
don't forget me, OK?

I know. I won't.

- Love you, bro.
- I love you, bro.

- I love you.
- Good luck.

I'm so proud of myself,
and...

I'm so proud of the way I...

I led my team on the pass.

I just want to live in
the moment, right now,

and take it all in.

Tonight was a huge
occasion, and I feel like

I rose to that occasion.

Johnny, we're legit [bleep].

Yeah, legendary status.

Part of an elite group, like.

To make it to the finale--

- It's--
- It-it has not kicked in.

It doesn't get better
than this, my friend.

It's something that's
going to be, you know,

held close to my heart for
the rest of my life, you know.

Because working
with Johnny, like,

he has changed
my life for the better.

What do you think is
going to happen tonight?

I think we're going
to crush service and get

our hands on those doors.

I plan on standing at
the doors, looking at you,

your hand on one handle,
mine on the other.

No matter who walks
out that door tonight,

we're both winners.

I just can't imagine
what this is gonna do

for our lives.
- We're still in our 20s.

Our whole lives are gonna
change after this.

I never expected this to--
to be part of our journeys.

No, never in a million years.

Johnny, I love you.

You too, bro.

So tough.

Great comments.

And that, five.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Really good.

That's not risotto, Chef.

That's--that's orzo, Chef.

- Well-spotted.
- Thank you.

It's great.
It's a restaurant quality dish.

You should be very
proud of yourself.

Thank you very much.

The first chef advancing
to the final three is...

Ryan.

You've taken this
all the way, mate.

I'm giving you a 10.
- Wow.

Tastes like you've been
cooking since the age of five

'cause you're gonna
get a five.

- Thank you.
- Well done.

Congratulations.

So good.
Now, that's like

you have to go there
and get the pork chop.

Young man, it's, for me,
the dish of the night.

Thank you, guys.

I like that you gave me
the whole filet.

It's properly
cooked fish, period.

That is something we strive
for on a daily basis,

the sheen and the glaze.

Oh, my.

That was a standout dish.

I can't tell you
what this means to me.

There's really so many
different textures

going on here.

I wish I could stay for
the rest of the meal.

I mean, I'm telling you.
- Thank you.

Hello, this is Johnathan.

Chef, please make your
way up to my office.

I've made my decision.
- OK, thank you.

Gentlemen,
my decision tonight

has been incredibly difficult.

Think back to your very first
day inside Hell's Kitchen.

Doors, just like these,
were set in the dining room.

You both walked through them
as a touch of inspiration

on your American Dream
journey.

If you want to feel
what it feels like,

just go on that side.

Now, you're about to stand
before the actual doors

and so close to
fulfilling your dreams.

I know that this is,
right now,

one of the biggest
moments of your lives.

Ryan, your fight
and determination

is extraordinary.

You're one of the
most determined chefs

I've ever met.

I think back to that moment,
you arriving

with pennies in your pocket.

But trust me,
you came rich in talent.

Thank you.

Johnathan, young man,

you have tremendous drive,

incredible finesse,

and a big, big heart.

Thank you, Chef.

Just understanding
your dedication of craft

and to giving
your daughter a better life

is incredibly admirable.

Thank you, Chef.

Regardless of my decision,

you are both living proof

that the American Dream
is possible.

I have reached a decision.

Ryan, Johnathan, please,
step up to your doors.

Like it's all
coming down to this.

I hope to God that this dream
comes true for me, you know.

I really, really do, because
I believed in myself.

And here I am.

Love you, man.
Love you.

This is it.

Everything's led
up to this point.

I gave it everything I got.

My heart is racing.

My blood pressure is
just [bleep] boiling.

It all comes down to this.

I need this door to open
for my family, for Saxon.

It's going to change our lives.

The chef whose door opens
will become the winner

and take up that amazing role

as my head chef
at Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas.

Gentlemen, this is it.

On the count of three,

I want you
to turn your handle.

Here we go.

Good luck to the both of you.

Proud of you both.

One...

two...

Three.

The chef whose door opens

will become the winner of
season 22 in Hell's Kitchen

and take up that amazing role

as my head chef at
Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas.

Gentlemen, this is it.

On the count of three,
turn your handle.

Here we go.

Proud of you both.

One...

Two...

Three.

Ryan!

Yes!

Go, Ryan!

You have not lost.

Head up high, OK?
Come on.

You've got a great
career in front of you.

And think of what you've done.

OK? Well done.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

Yes, Ryan!

We love you!

Congratulations!

All right,
go down those stairs.

I'm the [bleep] winner
of Hell's Kitchen!

Ryan, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm so proud to be Irish.

I'm so proud
of where I come from

and so proud
of what I've achieved.

A lot of blood, sweat, tears,
and determination, sacrifices.

I told you I'd do it!

I told you I'd do it!

Vegas, here I come, baby!

Good job, son.

Good job.

My door didn't open.

And, uh, it's... it's tough.

So proud of you.
So proud of you.

I just have to use it
as fuel for my fire.

I know I'm going
to be successful.

I know Saxon is going
to be proud of me,

and I'm happy I lost to Ryan
and such a good person

and a good man
and a good friend.

Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for the winner

of season 22,
Hell's Kitchen winner!

What an amazing journey!

Congratulations.

My name is Ryan O'Sullivan,
and this is my American Dream!

I just can't put this into
words, what this means to me.

You know, like, I came
here four years ago.

So fresh, it's just so
validating, you know,

all the sacrifices
I had to make.

And I just want to say that no
matter what happens tonight,

I have made a friendship and
a bond in such a short period

of time with a man that is
now going to be my best friend

for the rest of my life.

At the end of the day,
I've accomplished so much.

I've made amazing friends
and colleagues

and people that are going
to be in my life forever.

I'm going to walk away from
this with my head up high.

I'm so proud of Ryan.

I wouldn't want to
lose to anyone else.

Please, off you go.

Go ahead.

I finally believed in myself,
and this is what happens.

I'm 28 years of age.

My life is only beginning
right now.

The best of me is yet
to come, and I can't wait

for the world to see it.
- Go, Ryan!

Cork, Ireland,
I did it for you!

The green, white,
and gold, yeah?

Bringing it home!

The American Dream.

Congratulations, Ryan.
- Ryan!

Ryan is everything
I could want in a head chef.

Hey, Marino. Where the
is my champagne?

I don't think I've ever met

a more passionate chef.

He's also very creative
and a tremendous leader.

An amazing finale, well done.

His amazing journey
from Cork, Ireland

is proof that the American
Dream is alive and well.

Ryan will be a wonderful asset
to Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas.

Marino, come over, quick!

This is funny.

Champagne floats in space.

Oh!

Get him!
Get him!

Oh, my God.

That's so bad.

Yes, that was amazing!
