[upbeat music]

Dan.

What are you doing here?

I should ask you
the same thing.

School's been out a month.

Trying to get next
year's Bolognese

recipe as good as mom's.

It's summer, Katie.

You should be out
of the classroom.

Yes, I know,
but I love it here.

Creating perfectly
prepared recipes

and then watching students
get delectable results

is [chefs kiss].

Besides, first day
of school comes fast.

It's like Dad says,
fail to plan then--

Then plan to fail.

Exactly.

Here.

Try.

[coughs]

It's not even the spicy one.

Hard to believe we
share the same DNA.

50% with fraternal twins.

I know.

You got the 50% that
likes hot sauce.

You're the cool twin.

He says to the teacher that is
still at school on summer break.

Which is why I'm here to free
you from this and take you to--

Get a new phone?

No, this model hasn't
even come out yet.

But look at the picture.

[whimsical music]

Peru?

Peru.

No, no, I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

No, no.

For me?

Dan, I'm not going.

6 pounds at birth.

Huh.

5 pounds.

You owe me for life.

You're using that again?

Yep.

What is this really about?

You're making that face.

Nope.

My twin tuition is tingling.

Mine isn't.

Why did Grandma say that
you called her last week?

Come on.

I want you to meet
Luciana's family.

It's gonna be a special trip.

Third wheeling.

Great.

You won't be the third
wheel, I promise.

We're gonna be 30 this year.

Thank you for the reminder,
but I already have

the rest of my 20s planned out.

You know, they say
a truly great teacher needs

to go out and learn in order
to bring something back

to impart on their students.

Peru is an amazing
culinary melting pot.

Let's get out of Michigan
and see the world.

Did you say
culinary melting pot?

Ugh, I don't know.

I don't speak Spanish.

You do.

Who better to convince
Luci's family

I'm the greatest guy
in the world than my big sister.

I am bigger by eight minutes.

Oh, please, Katie, I need you.

Please.

OK, OK.

I will go to Peru with you.

Yes!

Peru, here we come.

Peru.

[light music]

What is that?

I'm beta testing it for work.

OK.

Geolocation tracking with
pop up points of interest.

So a map?

Uh, comes with a 4k
360 telepresence camera

and real-time projection.

I may speak Spanish.

You are fluent in geek.

There she is.

Mi amor!

Oh, I've missed you.

I miss you, too.

It's been too long.

It's been a week.

Oh, hi, Katie.

I'm so happy you are here too.

I can't wait to show you
both my hometown, my family.

DAN: Oh.

All right.

I'll let you do that.

I'm gonna check out the plaza.
- OK.

Uh, let's go.

Wait, the bags.

The bags.

The bags.

I'm so excited.

Me too.

[band playing]

[speaking spanish]

[laughter]

[speaking spanish]

How cute.

WOMAN: Name Caramel.

Caramel.

Hola, Caramel.

[chatter in spanish]

Katie.

Hey!

There you are.

I want you to meet
my [spanish] Chef Carlos.

[speaking spanish]

Hola, I'm Dan's twin.

Twin.

In culinary school, Carlos was
like the brother I never had.

After we stopped battling
over whether Peru or Mexico

had better food.

CARLOS: [speaking spanish]
It's still an ongoing battle.

We'll have to check
out his restaurant

opening in a few months.

It's actually close to where
we live in Michigan.

And I still need a sous
chef, so if you're up for it,

I'd love to have you on board.

Yeah, couldn't
recommend her more highly.

Yeah, Luci's given me so many
hit recipes, I can see why.

Peruvian cuisine
is unbelievable.

May I?

Uh, yeah.

Just--

We couldn't have
better timing.

Carlos just made friends
with an archaeologist.

Carlos makes friends everywhere.

And you won't
believe this, but

he just invited me and my guests
to a behind the scenes

day Machu Picchu.

Ooh, we already have
that planned, right, Dan?

Yes, I already have
tickets for Thursday,

and they were not
easy to get either.

Oh, but it's a backstage tour
today for the ancient castle

in the sky.

I know you both don't
like breaking up plans,

but this could be a magical
start to our trip.

Tickets sell out
months in advance.

You need passport numbers,
timed circuit slots.

CARLOS: Oh, don't
worry about that.

It's all covered.

VIP.

But we have to hurry
because the train leaves soon.

What do you think, mi amor?

Please.

Whatever you want, Luci.

Machu Picchu, here we come.

The house is close, so we can
go and drop off their luggage

and then meet at the station?
CARLOS: Mm-hmm.

- OK?
- Perfect.

Let's go.

[speaking spanish]
Ready for an adventure?

[light music]

Hey.

Hey.

It was you on the other side
of that break, wasn't it?

It was.

You know, there's a theory
about the magic of Machu Picchu.

What's that?

Just like the site stayed
hidden for centuries,

every visit reveals
a hidden secret.

They say that connections
made in Machu Picchu benefit

from the same enduring
dedication that helped build it.

Sounds like a fairy tale.

[upbeat music]

DANIEL: Luci and Carlos
are back there regaling

old cooking school stories.

He seems OK, I guess.

Oh, please.

He's better than OK.
He's like pizza.

Everyone likes him.

I really like him.

Told you, you wouldn't
be a third wheel.

Is this a setup?
What?

No.
No.

You said Luciana's family.

Yeah, he's
basically her brother.

Wha--

Relax, Katie.

It is a setup, but not
for you and Carlos.

[gasp] You're gonna propose.

I knew it.

My intuition is never wrong.

I was going
to propose on Thursday

after asking her father.

But now I guess I'll
just have to wait.

Well, but there won't
be another Machu Picchu.

Tell me about it.

Dan, you have to.

Katie, I can't.

I haven't even met
Luciana's family yet.

Tyler didn't ask
for dad's permission

before proposing to me.

Yeah, I'm not trying
to be like Tyler.

His whole movie theater
proposal didn't exactly scream,

I put a lot
of thought into this.

That's fair.

But not me.

I've been planning this
for a long time now.

I wanted my 360 camera to
capture the moment so she could

show her family, an intimate
setting with panoramic views

of the sunset.

I had it all planned.

Hmm.

Changing plans, not
exactly our strong suit,

but we can still do all that.

Luci always talks
about an American wedding

but wants a Peruvian
engagement party.

I even booked
an Andean restaurant

for the end of our trip.
- So we party tonight.

I wanted it to be
a surprise for everyone.

And now the moment I spent
months planning has officially

been hijacked
by someone who looks

and smells like a cologne ad.

Carlos does smell good.

Oh.

The air's thinner
up here, right?

Hey, hey, relax.

We're different,
but we're the same

when it comes to having plans
and wanting to stick to them.

This can still be perfect.

We just have to push it forward.

You found your soulmate.

Just tell me what
you need me to do,

and I will make your Machu
Picchu proposal happen.

Really?

OK, let's do this.

OK.

DANIEL: Oh, and I'll show
you how to use the camera.

Guys, did you know
that these buildings

were built without any mortar?

The granite was cut
and fit perfectly.

They were made for each other.

Sounds familiar.

I've been coming here all
my life, and it never gets old.

Yeah, I know.

Beautiful.

When did they discover it?

Depends on what you
consider discovering.

Mm-hmm.

It was a known secret in Peru.

But when the archaeologists
came looking for gold,

just the whole world found out.

- Did they find any?
- Gold?

- Yeah.
- No.

No, but what they
found is priceless.

Hmm.

So, Tyler couldn't
come with you to Peru?

No, that ended
a few months ago.

I really liked Tyler.

Turns out a few others
really like Tyler, too.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Your brother never
keeps me in the loop.

I always wondered why it was
so hard for him to plan anything

but when you're doing it
for multiple relationships

at the same time.

Well, he's a fool.

Hmm.

You just need
to find your person.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Tour starts in 20
at the Inca Trail.

Hopefully, I'll
acclimate by then.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

He'll be fine.

Mm, yeah.

[gentle music]

There's this energy up here.

Can you feel it?

Thought it might just
be the altitude sickness.

Feeling queasy, honey?

No.

You look kind of pale.

Yeah, we're pretty high up.

Almost 8,000 feet.

I'm good.

I'm good.

OK.

Let's find you some coca tea.

It helps with altitude sickness.

Let's go.

KATIE: What about
that photo you wanted?

I'm fine, really.

KATIE: (WHISPERING)
But the plan.

He'll be fine.

Tea will fix him.

Let's, um, sneak away
and see what kind of secrets

get revealed.

I don't want to be
late for the tour.

It's just a quick peek.

Who knows what
magic we'll uncover.

Something up there
is calling me.

Do you have altitude sickness?

I can't help it.

I just-- I don't like
messing with an itinerary.

Come on.

Live a little.

Wait.

Hey!

Live a little.

Cool.

The Temple of the Condor.

Yeah, it represents the
connection between Pachamama--

Mother Earth.

--and the heavens.

You see it, right?

Those rocks laid out
like outstretched wings.

That's the condor.

It's your first time in Peru?

Yeah, yeah, but it's been
on the list for forever.

Hmm.

KATIE: Yeah, I went straight
from college to teaching,

so I've mostly just seen
a bunch of schools in Michigan.

Oh, that's not too
far from Chicago.

Yeah.

- What do you teach?
- Um--

Wait, let me guess, chemistry?

No, no.

Home economics.

Sewing, cooking.

Practical stuff.

Ah, you're gonna love Peru.

The traditional modern cuisine.

It's all fabulous.

Well, it's nice
to know I'm not

the only one here for the food.

Yes, yes, the food.

Always the food.

I'm trying to taste
everything I haven't

tried, because once
my restaurant opens,

I won't be leaving Chicago.

Oh, sure, but you
still must get to eat

at some incredible restaurants.

I do, but you know,
I'd rather travel

to marketplaces
all over the world,

see what dishes speak to me.

Kind of like
which cuisine you're

most cosmically connected to?

Yeah, that's it.

You taste it, and you know it.

May I borrow your hands?

Yes.

Let us manifest that something
special we came to Peru for.

Oh.

[speaking spanish] OK.

Queso on three.

1, 2, 3, queso!

Cheese.

[speaking spanish]

Are you sure
you're up for this?

No, but another Machu Picchu
trip would be a giveaway.

This is my only chance that
I have to make it a surprise.

Well, don't pass out when
you get down on one knee.

Thanks.

OK, everything's in there.

It's simple.

When you take out the camera,
just try to be discreet.

Yeah, I got this.

Yeah, OK.

Do you got this?

Yeah.

Do I have any coco
leaves in my teeth?

You're fine.
Bag, now, look.

Good luck.

OK.

Hey.

Look.

Simple.

CARLOS: Can I help you?

[whimsical music]

OK.

Step one.

Turn it on.

[beeps]

OK.

Step two.

Step two.

Fire up camera.

It's not working.

I don't know.

Oh, OK, OK.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Ah, aha.

[soft music]

[gasps] Oh, oh,
he's down on one knee.

Oh wait.

Oh.

Oh, [stammers] can see.

She said yes.

Yes!

Oh!

LUCIANA: Wow.

CARLOS: Oh!

Sorry.

WOMAN: Oh.

What?

No, no, no, no.

Yes.

OK, OK.

All right, all right.

Show the ring.

COUPLE: Machu Picchu.

KATIE: You don't
need to be nervous.

Of course not.

I'm just walking into a room
filled with strangers

who are gonna be talking
about me in a language I

don't even speak.

I'm here to translate,
even the insults.

Hey, stop.

Twin talk time.

Your instinct was right
about not proposing today.

I should have listened.

Now you get to meet
Luciana's family first.

They are gonna love you.

They're going to think
I'm a total dork.

Dan, this twin talk time
is a sacred circle of truth.

You're the best person I
know because of your devotion

to the things that you love.

Microprocessors, 4k cameras,
but especially Luciana.

Her family is gonna see that
and love you because of it.

Thanks.

Katie.

Dan.

The guests of honor
have arrived.

Hola, Katie.

You look great.

I mean, both of you.

Uh, Dan, they are
gonna love you.

I've been telling
them all about you.

Oh, good.

The crowd's already warmed up.

Let's go.

Mi amor.

You look better.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, I feel wonderful.

Great.

Hi, Katie.

[spanish]

[chatter]

Familia, this is Daniel.

Daniel, meet familia.

Hola.

This is my mom, Maria.

[speaking spanish]

KATIE: That means handsome.

[speaking spanish]

Ah.

[spanish] these
are my sisters.

Camila.

Oh.

[speaking spanish]

Tina.

Sofia.

Yeah, Dan doesn't
like to be touched.

Oh, oh, that's a problem.

Peruvians love to hug
so get used to it.

OK.

My cousins, Diego.

[speaking spanish]

LUCIANA: Veronica.

[speaking spanish]

Is my uncle Julio.

[speaking spanish]

And--

Oh, uh, you must be
Luci's proud papa, Cesar.

Yeah.

Oh, right.

Nice to meet you, sir.

He likes him.

Don't worry.

[upbeat music]

KATIE: So, Maria, tell
me more about Luciana.

MARIA: Oh, she's my youngest.

But with five daughters,
you can't pick a favorite.

Of course not.

So what are some
of her favorite things?

Well, she loves anything pink.

Oh, yeah.

She watches all movies.

And she learned how to dance
before she could walk.

Huh.

And of course, she loves--

Pisco sour and fries.

Those.

Carlos [spanish].

Gracias.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

There is nothing more
Peruvian than a potato.

I believe they call these
French fries, mi amor.

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah.
Pronto.

Yeah.

[soft music]

[upbeat music continues]

Hermana.

That means sister.

Yeah.

Guess what?

I'm gonna propose.

Now?

Oh, everyone's having
such a good time.

It's gonna be such
a memorable night.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

I know, but sometimes
it feels good to be bad.

Dan, the altitude is
playing tricks on you.

Cusco is higher
than Machu Picchu.

No, shh, shh, shh,
shh, it's perfect.

Her whole family's in there.

You said you wanted
something intimate.

And I know her dad's going
to come around once he hears

the proposal speech I planned.

Cesar?

I think he seems
like a tough cookie.

Oh, wait, I forgot it.

I-- It had something
to do with apples.

You are the apple of my eye.

No, wait.

The apple doesn't fall far--

no, uh-- wait.

- Ah.
- I got it.

Uh, can you get the whole
thing on camera?

Yeah, yeah, I just need
some fresh air first.

Don't take too long, OK?

You and the ring
are the only thing

that's stopping this proposal
from finally happening.

I'm right behind you, bro.

Give me some skin.

Yeah.

[whimsical music]

He'll thank me later.

[upbeat music]

Suits you--

Ah.

You think so?

Definitely.

May I?

Oh.

CARLOS: There we go.

There.

[speaking spanish]

You should try these.

[spanish] And?

Good.

Corn nuts are our local
specialty back home, too.

Sure.

I didn't, um-- I didn't get
a chance to say goodbye to you

last night.

Jet lag.

I really did enjoy
dancing with you.

Yeah, I think you enjoyed
dancing with everyone.

Anyways, I'm glad
I ran into you.

Gives me a chance
to say goodbye.

I'm off to Huacachina
in about an hour.

There's this chef who's famous
for the local dish [spanish]

Sounds delicious.

Well, you should come.

I mean, come try it.

Huacachina is one of the most
remarkable towns in Peru.

I don't know, maybe you
could learn a recipe or

two, take back to your class.

Yeah, I don't know
if that's a good idea.

I'm here with
my brother and Luciana.

Yeah, no, no, of course.

I-- I hope you
have a great time.

I really did enjoy
meeting you, Katie.

You, too.

I mean, me too.

I get it.

Good luck with
your restaurant.

Thanks.

Ciao.

[sighs]

[background chatter]

[gentle music]

Drink this.

It'll make you feel better.

What is this?

Fish juice?

It's tiger milk.

Luciana wants you to have it.

It's basically ceviche juice.

You've got an amazing
girlfriend.

You know that, right?

She deserves the most
wonderful proposal in history.

Something brave, something bold.

The ring.

You have the ring?

I lost it, but you
have the ring.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Not some haphazard, informal
movie theater proposal.

Doesn't matter that
the leather seats recline.

No one wants to get
engaged at a matinee.

We're gonna plan something
incredible for Luciana.

We've just got to come
up with the most

amazing, dreamy, unforgettable
proposal of all time.

I had the most amazing,
dreamy, unforgettable proposal

of all time plan
for Machu Picchu.

Yeah, I know, but now we got
to come up with a new plan.

We just have
to find a venue that

is as romantic as an ancient
lost city at sunset.

That I need to see to believe.

Well, then, let's go.

Come on.

You've only looked
at places on your computer.

Maria told me some
of her favorite things.

We can find the perfect
proposal place in real life.

I can't leave Cusco right now.

I have to put in a lot
more face time with Cesar

and hope that he forgets that I
tried to do the worm last night.

You did the worm?

Even worse, tried.

Mm.

But you should go and hatch
me a new proposal plan

and report back.

Well, I don't want
to go by myself.

Ask Carlos.

No, no.

Carlos is off to Huacachina
to do his food thing.

You love food.

And Huacachina is like
a cool little desert oasis.

It looks super romantic.

You said this wasn't a setup.

As in, it could be
the perfect proposal place.

I just don't have time
to go look myself.

Look, we don't have much time
to make this engagement happen.

And I really want to make
it happen here in Peru.

Please.

I think he's leaving soon.

That's fine.

You haven't even unpacked.

I want you to be my eyes
and ears out there, OK?

OK, OK.

I will find you options
and send back photos.

Perfecto.

[horns honking]

KATIE: Carlos!

Carlos.

Hi.

Katie, hi.

[speaking spanish]

That's a cool truck.

You taking it on the road?
- I am.

Yeah.

Listen, I was thinking
about what you said.

Maybe I could take
a day trip to find

some new recipes for my class.

Uh-huh.

OK.

KATIE: Mm.

After you.

Oh.

[spanish]

[spanish] You good?

Oh, by the way, change of plans.

We're not gonna
go to Huacachina.

We're gonna go to Pisac instead.
- Uh--

I met this shaman
who said that Pisac is

the spiritual center of Peru.

Something inside me said we
had to go, and I had to listen.

Huh.

Yeah, I usually try not
to listen to the voices.

It doesn't matter.

I was really just tagging along
to try the [spanish] dish.

Anyway.

The-- the guinea pig?

You want to go
just to guinea pig?

Yes.

[laughs] I mean, they
have guinea pig in Pisac.

Oh.

Plus it's beautiful.

Very picturesque.

Lots of sights to see.

OK, OK, but I want
to stop and take pictures.

All right, perfecto.

[light music]

So many beautiful colors.

Did you know that
Peru is considered to be

the birthplace of the rainbow?

How could they know that?

Rainbows are a series
of refractions and reflections

that have been
happening forever.

OK, teach.

Where to next?

We should split up.

We can cover more ground.

And I don't want
to slow you down.

I'll hit the streets,
and you can take the market?

It's a good plan, I guess.

We'll both pick
something tasty to try,

and we'll meet up at the ruins.

Yes, chef.

Hmm.

[adventurous music]

[speaking spanish]

[background announcements]

Ooh.

[speaking spanish]

[line ringing]

Hey, sis.

Hmm, hey.

Uh, not to rush, but I'm
in the middle of a grilling

with Luci's sisters.

Nice, what are they grilling?

They're grilling
me, but luckily, I

already have a sister, so I
got all the right answers.

KATIE (ON PHONE): Yeah, you do.

And she has found the spot.

Rainbow Mountain.

It's a few hours from Cusco
and then a three hour hike up.

Sounds far.

Time's is tight.

Yeah, which is why you and
Luciana need to meet me there.

I don't need to scout
it ahead of time.

I know there is no
better place to propose.

Peru is also the birthplace
of the rainbow.

How is that even
possible to know?

It's a series of reflections
and refractions.

Yeah, I know, but it's
still the perfect plan.

DANIEL (ON PHONE): OK, so I'm in
Cusco, and you're in Huacachina.

So how is this gonna work?

Actually, I'm in Pisac.

Carlos changes his mind
faster than the weather here.

I could try and catch
a local bus tomorrow.

No, that'll take a whole day.
We don't have time like that.

Just ask Carlos to come
along, and he could drive you.

I can't guarantee I won't
end up in Uruguay on some kind

of mystic mission instead.

Well, just try to keep
him reined in, OK.

I'll get Luci to text you.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'm being summoned.

See you soon.

OK, bye.

Hmm.

Katie.

Yeah.

Hey.

I thought that was you.

You look like
you're having fun.

I just tasted
the most amazing thing,

and I had to know
how it was made.

OK.

Come, they're
about to show me.

Oh, um--

[laughs]

OK, so this wonderful
couple, Pablo and Claudia.

[speaking spanish]

They are stewards of this
remarkable 200-year-old oven.

And they're about to teach
us how to make EMPANADAS.

[gasps] Empanadas?

[speaking spanish]

[upbeat music]

Have you done this before?

Kind of like a pierogi.

[speaking spanish]

In the oven you go.

In the oven you go.

[laughter]

Mm.

Delicioso.

Delicioso, yeah.

[speaking spanish]

Mm.

Mm.

That's spicy.

Spicier, the better.

Mm, my turn.

OK, what do you got?

Kiwicha.

Traditional, high in protein.

You can fry it, bake it, pop it.

Kind of like oatmeal's
more boring cousin.

I love rolled oats.

(CHUCKLING) OK.

I was thinking, you're kind
of on, like, this cuisine quest.

Oh, I like that.

And it definitely
can't end with oatmeal.

It can't?

No.

There is such
a variety of terrain

in Peru, so many microclimates
with different crops,

like, say, Rainbow Mountain.

I've heard of that place.

I don't think much
food grows up there.

The high altitude, yes,
but could be fresh yuca or maca.

It's a bit of a trek.

We'd leave first
thing in the morning.

[chuckles] It's
a long way to go--

Yeah.

--in the middle of nowhere
for maybe nothing.

Come on, Carlos.

You never know unless you try.

You want to go on a road
trip in Peru with me?

And Dan and Luci.

So "spur
of the moment" of you.

Carlos, live a little.

OK.

[gasps]

For my cuisine quest.

For your cuisine quest.

[chuckles]

This is what it's all about.

Empanadas?

No.

Sharing a meal.

Ah.

Because the end
of the day, we're

not going to remember the food
we ate, but who we ate it with.

That's true.

[sentimental music]

I can see why they call
it the Sacred Valley.

It certainly is special.

Mm.

[upbeat music]

I don't see a rainbow,
and this is not a mountain.

It's the coordinates
Luci gave me.

This isn't part of the plan.

It's about the journey,
not the destination.

Mm.

Are those alpacas?

Hola, amigos!

Hey, hey, hey.

Pretty packed schedule
if we want to make

it up Rainbow Mountain today.

Pit stops aren't exactly
accounted for in my timetable.

Oh, it's just
a quick one, I promise.

I grew up with Flores, and I
haven't seen her since she

started this alpaca farm.

No problemo.

He reminds me of Chef
Eric in second year.

Oh, yeah, when he caught me
saying he chew like an alpaca,

and you convinced him
it was a compliment.

[chuckling]

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking if I
make a big deal

about getting to Rainbow
Mountain by sunset,

she's going to know what's up.

Maybe I should just tell Carlos
my plan, and he can help.

He's too unpredictable.

You never know what
he might say or do

that could ruin the surprise.

You're probably right.

Let's just stick to the plan.

OK.

[pensive music]

Katie, Flores has
Indian weavers on site.

We should go take a look
and see what they're making.

I'm not sure how much
time we have for shopping.

Not for shopping,
for teaching.

Carlos told me that
you want some ideas

to bring back to your class.

Right!

Yeah, yeah.

This is an incredible
place you have, Flores.

Thank you.

There was something
about this land.

Whoa!

I couldn't explain
it, but I could feel it.

We're going to quickly
check out the textiles.

Yeah, all the colors
of the rainbow.

Hey, did you know that
Peru considers itself

the birthplace of the rainbow?

You don't say.

Yeah, yeah, Katie told me.

Oh.

Carlos wants
to meet the farmers,

so we will link
back up in a few.

Great.

Then we need to hit the road.

Come on, come.

Hola.

WEAVERS: Hola.

[chuckles]

Alpaca wool's
perfect for clothing

here because it's
soft and durable.

Check out how vivid they
are in the new photo app.

[gasps softly]

LUCIANA: Ah.

[liquid pouring]

The red and pink ones
come from cochineal bugs.

I knew [indistinct]

[chuckles]

[gasps]

(CHUCKLING) Wow.

Muchas gracias.

[lighthearted music]

It's beautiful.

[speaking spanish]

Oh, it's OK.

(CHUCKLING) OK.

Ah.

Gracias.

[spanish]

Mm, strapping me in there.

[chuckles]

Oh.

Oh, wow.

What do you think?

I think it will
look great in a photo

on top of Rainbow Mountain.

Which it will.

It's gonna be beautiful.

OK.
I got this figured out.

You got the ring?

Oh, yeah.

It's happening.

Yeah.

[unzipping]

[mischievous music]

What's wrong with your neck?

My neck?

Nothing.

[zipping]

Hey!

Carlos is talking
with our head farmer.

Mm.

[sighs] Yeah.

Better be careful or he'll
be moving in soon.

Having a full-time
chef is OK with me.

[laughter]

Hmm.

[scratching]

Hmm.

I think you're allergic
to your new poncho.

Really?

No.

Maybe it's just the dry weather.

Or maybe it's the alpaca wool.

[gasps] Dan, you're as red
as one of those bugs.

And now you're making me itchy.
Ugh!

Twin transference.
- It's fine!

[scratching]

It's fine.

I'm just gonna keep my arms
hidden under the cape.

I want to wear this
for the propo--

Hey!

You have to try this--

fresh alpaca milk.

It tastes a little--

a little fibrous.

Hmm?

Thank you, but I
can't do a lot of dairy.

Even I haven't
tried alpaca milk.

You're so brave, Carlos.

[chuckling]

Dan.

Uh, sure.

I'll give it a go.

[chuckles]

[gulping]

No-- ah--

- Oh, maybe not the--
- Mm.

You're just gonna
have the whole thing?

OK.

Oh, Dan.

Dan.

[groans]

Ugh.

[panting]

Yum.
[laughs]

- Oh.
- Mm.

Buddy, you got the nutrients
to conquer any mountain now.

[chuckling]

Oh.

Muchas gracias, Flores.

I'm so happy we got to see you.

Con gusto, hmm?

And I finally got to meet Dan.

He's as wonderful as you said.

Aw.

And you too, Katie.

Oh, thank you.

And thank you
for the textiles designs.

My class is gonna
be warm and stylish.

The Peruvian way.

[chuckling]

LUCIANA: Oh.

Ah.

Uh-oh.

Milk was a bad choice.

Yeah.

[wind blowing]

It's, uh, probably
best for your brother

to stay here the night.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The wool allergy is
new, but he should have

known better about the dairy.

His rash will settle,
and so will his stomach.

By the morning, you think?

We could wake up early
and do a sunrise hike?

Let's hope.

I always wanted to go
up Rainbow Mountain.

So Flores has two guest
rooms made for each of you.

Buenas noches, Luci.

Buenas noches.

Gracias, Luci.

Is it just me, or does
the Earth seem bigger down here?

It definitely has a vastness.

[sentimental music]

I bet the stars are bright
way out here, far from the city.

A whole new batch of them, too--
you know, Southern Hemisphere.

Maybe later, we could come out
here when it gets dark and--

Uh-- um--

I might tuck into that
guest room early.

Sounds nice.

Yeah.

[birds chirping]

We'll be back before noon.

Ah, I've added
a couple of stops,

so we might be a little
bit later than that.

Great.

Oh, Dan, I wish you
could hike with us.

Me, too, Luci.

Just better for me to stay
close to facilities right now.

I don't want you missing out on
Rainbow Mountain because of me.

- Mm.
- Katie, are you not coming?

No, I'm gonna stick with Dan.

You guys have a blast, though.

Are you sure, Dan?

Yes.

Take lots of pictures.

CARLOS: OK.

We're running out of time.

[lighthearted music]

[sighs] Being
separated from Luci

makes me feel like
just being with her

is the most important thing.

Maybe I don't have
to do a big proposal.

Dan, you are always
selling yourself short

and playing it safe.

But a proposal requires risk.

This is your chance to show
how much Luciana means to you

by going over the top for her.

How do we do that now?

We start by getting
rid of Carlos.

Easy there, Tony.

We're planning
an engagement, not a funeral.

Uh, Machu Picchu,
Huacachina, the alpaca milk?

He is a liability.

He has foiled every proposal
plot we've come up with.

Why don't you take him
away to Lake Titicaca?

And Luci and I will go
the opposite direction.

No, I'm not going
off with him alone.

Why not?

He's only a gorgeous
chef with captivating

eyes and a soulful spirit.

Oh, wait.

That's not gonna work.

Luci thinks we're
on a road trip altogether.

How are we gonna ditch Carlos
without her thinking something's

weird?

[crunching]

What are you eating?

It's some kind
of Peruvian corn nut.

[dramatic music]

Cancha salada.

Yeah!

(WHISPERING) That's it!

The corn nut?

If we can't beat
him, we join him.

Carlos is traveling
and trying local foods, right?

Right.

We just need to find a place
that is beautiful enough

to propose, but also offers some
kind of culinary distraction

for Carlos.

Make them think it's all
about Carlos's ingredients

could be a good cover.

Exactly.

Mm, but it's got
to be romantic, though.

I'm not proposing
over a bowl of soup.

I found it.

Chocolate?

No, look at that place!

I could see myself
proposing there.

But will Carlos fall for it?

He will love the sudden
change of plans.

And if I have to, I'll
tell him that chocolate

is sacred or something.

It's so beautiful, it
will make Luciana forget

all about Rainbow Mountain.

LUCIANA: That was
the best day of my life.

I wish you were there, Dan.

Day's not over yet.

It was incredible.

I have never seen
a view like that before,

and I probably will never again.

Ha, well--

Don't count out cacao class.

Oh, that's what
we're doing here.

And we wanna help you,
Carlos, take your cuisine

quest to the next level.

Some ingredient that will
make your opening buzz.

And everyone will have
to come to your restaurant

if they want to try it.

[sighs] I just--

[sighs] I--

I mean, I can't.

You guys are so great.
- Aw.

CARLOS: So we're
doing everything

from me, just my cuisine quest?

Yeah, I've designed
our excursions

around you discovering
a secret Peruvian superfood.

What an unexpected surprise.

Yeah, this class is going
to take us from bean--

To bar.

[chuckling]

You coming?

Yeah, um, that's just
so thoughtful of you, Katie.

Don't mention it.

But, um, chocolate isn't
exactly a secret ingredient.

You're right.

It's not about the chocolate
itself, though, but

the spiritual
connection with it.

Really?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

It's used in ceremonies.

Get ready to tune in with
those higher powers.

[thud]

Oh!

Who knew chocolate-making
would be so exhausting?

[thud]

[thud]

KATIE: Oh!

There's actually
a trick to opening these.

Yeah?

Let me show you, Dan.

All right, so make
some leverage.

[cracking]

Well done, Chef Carlos.

Oh, you got it, too.

[straining]

- May I?
- No, I got-- no.

Thank you.

CARLOS: Yeah, no problem.

[straining]

This doesn't look
like chocolate.

It doesn't taste
like it either.

Try it.

- Ah!
- Oh.

Uh, yeah.

That works.

Mm.

Told you I could do it.

LUCIANA: It tastes more
like lychee or mango.

CARLOS: It does.

That's actually the fleshy
fruit around the cocoa bean.

May I?
- Mm-hmm.

Chilies.

[vocalizing] The cocoa bean.

[upbeat music]

Mm, mm-hmm.

(WHISPERING) Do
you have the ring?

[gasping]

Ah!

Carlos!

[sighing] It's OK, it's OK.

It's here, it's here,
it's here, it's here.

[chuckling nervously]

Let me help.

That looks heavy.

Why don't you
both go take a walk?

I think I saw some
macaws in the trees.

- Macaws?
- Yeah.

Really.

I love macaws.

We'll be right back.

Come here, amor.

[sighs]

Looks like there's
still a lot of work to do.

Let me help you.

OK.

Last one.

Last little bit.

Ah.

All right, let it settle.

OK, now we have to let them
cool before we eat them.

- Oh.
- OK.

- Oh, well--
- This way!

- No.
- To the fridge!

Let me help you.

[mischievous music]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Watching chocolate dry is
almost as painful as paint.

I just want to make sure
I'm ready when they are.

Mm-hmm.

You that hungry?

Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

It's gonna be
at least two hours.

I'm gonna go for a walk
if you want to come.

No, thank you.

Is there a reason why
you're still in here?

No.

Let's walk.

OK.

So does school
start in a month?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just here till
the end of the week,

but I already feel like
I'm behind on preparations.

You and Dan sure
love your plans.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Meal plans, travel plans,
business plans, all the plans.

Mm, that's why I'm
a cook and not a baker.

With baking, you have
to have precise measurements.

With cooking, you
can just improvise.

Oh.

Did you always know you
wanted to be a chef?

Yeah.

I mean, I did have a crisis of
confidence in culinary school.

I almost moved back to Mexico
City, but Luciana held me down.

What happened?

She took care
of me like family.

So I kind of just
adopted her as my sister.

She's very special.

She is.

She cares a lot about other
people, kind of like you.

Like me?

CARLOS: Yeah, I
mean, look at all

the effort you're
putting into discovering

new recipes for your class.

Oh.

And my super-secret superfood
cuisine quest, all for me?

Someone you just met?

At first I wasn't
sure, but now I--

I don't want this to end.

Me neither.

I, um--

I got you something.

What?

It was in Pisac.

It's-- it's nothing, really.

Carlos.

It's a handmade poncho.

[gasps] Oh, it's beautiful!

The blue kind
of reminded me of you.

That is so thoughtful.

It'll come in handy
once the temperature drops

and we go deeper
into the valley.

Right.

Speaking of which,
where are we going next?

That salt we used, you
said it was Peruvian?

Yeah, I believe it's
from Maras salt mines.

Yes.

Salt mines.

Oh, this looks amazing.

That's where we're going next.

DAN: What's with the poncho?

Cold and Carlos
bought it for me.

Aw.

That's sweet of him.

Come on.

This could be
your Eat, Pray, Love.

We already have
the eating part down.

Will you stay focused?

We get the chocolate,
we get to Salt Mountain,

and you get engaged.

[gasps]

What?

I can't tell.

You don't know
which ones are ours?

I do.
I mean, I did.

But now there's no system here.

Katie, which one
has the ring in it?

I don't know!

I can't tell which
bars are ours!

Does it matter?

They're all pretty
much the same.

No, they're not the same.

One of them has the--

Need to find ours,
the ones we made.

We have to take what we poured.

Settle down.

Y'all really don't like
to go with the flow, huh?

OK, well, there's only
one way to guarantee

we take the right ones.

[lighthearted music]

Take this!

You took all
the chocolate bars?

It was Carlos's idea.

Oh, thank God.

[engine turns off]

[grunts]

Ah, I got you.

I got you.

Oh.
- Wait.

Oh.

Ah, it's one more latch.

OK.

Thank you.

This hotel has the highest
rating in the Valley,

and it has a pool.

It's perfect.

I love traveling with you guys.

You always know
the best places to go.

Perks of dating a planner.

Why don't we take
it easy tonight

and head to the Mara
salt mines tomorrow?

Great.

Hmm.

Take it easy or party all night?

Oh, we haven't done
that since school.

Yeah, all-nighters you spent
dancing instead of studying?

[sighs]

Another life.

Eh, eh, eh.

Maybe one more night?

No.

Let's do it.

Let's dance like
no one's watching.

[spanish]

What are you talking about?

The only dance you
know is the Macarena.

I love the Macarena.

Oh, oh!

OK.

OK, OK.

As entertaining as this is--

Ha!

--I wanna wander
Ollantaytambo.

Yeah, me, too.

So we will talk about it
later when we come back.

Ha!

CARLOS: Wow.

Look at this place.

This pool.

Beautiful.

If it was up to me, we'd be
sleeping on someone's couch.

DAN: Was that
your original plan?

CARLOS: No plan is
my kind of plan, Dan.

What do you think?

Bueno!

Ha!

I don't know.

[unzipping]

Things tend to work
themselves out.

What you got there?

What don't I have?

4k 360 digital camera projector.

Sweet.

Does it stream?

Does it stream?

It livestreams.

You're the man, Dan.

Yeah, I'm gonna set up
a movie night out here.

What about dancing
the night away?

Nah, better to play it safe.

And movie night is safe.

And romantic.

[sentimental music]

Actually, a lot of this trip
has been really romantic.

What do you mean?

Don't get me wrong.

Your sister's plans have
been great, but chocolate?

Salt?

[lighthearted music]

Those aren't exactly
secret superfoods.

Well, why do you
think she's here?

[sentimental music]

I don't know.

But I don't think it's
because of my cuisine quest.

[upbeat music]

Here.

Oh.

Gracias.

Salud.

Salud.

[chuckles] This
is chicha morada.

This reminds me of family.

And on this trip, I feel
like I have a new sister.

[gasps] I always
wanted a sister.

Dan is great,
but it's not the same.

I've always got room
for another sister.

[chuckles]

So Carlos seems to be
quite a fan of yours.

How do you mean?

Well, looks, hidden
smiles, the poncho.

I've only ever seen Carlos
to buy something for someone

when he really likes them.

I was cold.

He gave it to me out
of necessity, not affection.

It could be both.

Mm, no.

He is a lone wolf.

It was a surprise for me that
he wanted to go on a group trip.

But it didn't take me
too long to know why.

Can I be honest with you?

Sure.

[soft music]

The last time I thought I
had my future planned out, I--

Tyler's stuff had
nothing to do with you.

Hey.

You are an amazing woman.

And an amazing man
will cherish that.

Thank you.

You can trust
your heart again, Katie.

Whoa.

That's the third vegan
restaurant I've seen here.

Well, I'm gonna pop in and ask
if they have [spanish].

Yeah, nice.

I'll wait for you.

[folk music]

- So much for your twin-tuition!
- Whoa!

[mischievous music]

Where did you come from?

He's on to us.

Who is on to what?

Carlos.

He's on to the proposal.

And if he knows, she knows.

What do you mean?

What did he say?

He said he thought
it was kind of

weird that you were taking us
to all these romantic locations.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Carlos doesn't think
you're gonna propose.

He thinks that-- ah!

No.
- What?

What?
What?

It's worse.

It is so much worse.

You're freaking me out.
What?

Carlos doesn't think
that you're gonna propose.

He thinks that I am
in love with him.

Oh.

KATIE: I have to find
the rarest, most singular

Peruvian secret
ingredient of all time

to convince Carlos that is the
only reason we are on this trip.

Katie.

Twin now timeout.

What?

Make it quick.

I saw you two today.

You can't deny
there's chemistry.

Carlos has chemistry
with everyone.

Besides, this trip
is not about me.

It's about you and Luciana.

[sighs] Katie.

No.

I have to find a food that will
change Carlos's mind before he

changes the plans again.

Take this.

Oh, gosh!

Luci, hi.

Cheers.

What just happened?

[mischievous music]

[gasps] That's it.

He is not gonna find
a more rare food anywhere.

Hey.

Buenas noches.

Hi.

What did you
get at the market?

Oh, it was the best.

Check it out.

Sweet drop peppers.

Nice.

Camu camu berries.

Ooh.

And to wash it
all down, [spanish].

These are all high in vitamins
and low on the radar.

Mm.

Es spectacular.

You know that's
why I'm here, right?

To find you a secret
superfood ingredient.

That's what you
keep telling me.

And I have.

Mm.

For tomorrow.

What is it?

You're gonna have
to wait and see.

Hey, um, I was
thinking of checking

out what Dan and Luci are up
to, maybe grab some dinner?

Do you want to come?

Thank you, but I
ate at the market.

So that's a no?

Yeah, I'm just
gonna chill here.

Have fun, though.

OK.

Good night, Katie.

[gentle music]

[gasps] Wow!

Unattended candles.

Really, Dan?

Hey.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were
going out for dinner.

Dan set this all up.

I couldn't let it go to waste.

You just can't
resist a little improv.

I guess not.

Sorry, I'll, uh,
leave you to it.

You don't have to go.

No.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I figured that
the best experiences

you never see coming so I jump
at every opportunity I get.

Sometimes I overstep.

[somber music]

Carlos, I could actually use
someone to explain the movie.

Seems I missed the start,
and now I'm completely lost.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Well, Luci used to make
me watch this every year.

It's called Seventh Heaven.

Huh.

It's a classic.

He's idealistic.

She's mistreated.

They're total
opposites, but they're

forced through rough times.

And as they grow
closer together,

their differences turn into--

Hmm, let me guess--

love?

Well, even without
words, you can feel it.

Yeah.

Sometimes you don't have to say
anything to say everything.

Peruvian purple popcorn?

Say that 10 times.

Peruvian purple popcorn.
Peruvian purple popcorn.

That's very good,
but I was joking.

[laughter]

CARLOS: When was the last time
you were in love like that?

Um, maybe never.

Maybe I was blinded
by good looks and charm.

I fell for the fairy tale.

What about you?

It's been a long time.

Plus, I've had tunnel
vision, only seeing

a restaurant at the end of it.

Well, it's good to be
in love with your work.

Yeah, but there's so much
more to life than that.

And relationships
require work and time.

And I want to be
with someone where

I'm compelled
to put in that level

of effort every single day.

In my last
relationship, there wasn't

much effort from him, which
only made me put in more effort.

And then-- I am oversharing.

Oh, no.

I love it.

I love your vulnerability.

It's inspiring.

You've inspired me
quite a bit this trip.

I planned something.

Yeah?

[chuckles]

I hired us a guide to take us
through the Maras salt mines.

I think Dan and Luci
might want to go

off on their own tomorrow.

I don't mind it
just being me and you.

[soft music]

[phone chiming, vibrating]

Sorry.

It's Dan.

Luci wants to dance.

They're going to Casa Bambita.

Oh, amazing.

Let's go.

Are you coming?

I want to see how this ends.

OK.

Enjoy the show.

Good night, Carlos.

Good night, Katie.

[birds chirping]

KATIE: What happened to you?

They almost killed
me last night, Katie.

The dancing, the strobe
lights, the house music?

I'm broken.

I'm exhausted.

Who stays up until 6:00 AM?

Pull yourself
together, Lieutenant Dan!

You need to find
your second wind

by the time we get to Maras!

Buenos dias,
amigos, aventureros.

LUCIANA: Morning, Carlos!

I brought us all
breakfast from the market.

Great.

I'm starving.

Breakfast quinoa
drink for you.

Delicious.

And chicken and rice
soup, aguadito for you.

Aw, like my grandpa
used to make.

And chirimoya.

Looks like an artichoke,
but tastes like a candied apple.

Thank you.

Well, now we have
got our breakfast,

so we should hit the road.

To Maras.

Yes!

Maras!

[sighs]

You need to do a way
better job of keeping

him preoccupied today.

This is my last chance
at making this proposal happen.

I know, don't worry.

Send me a text and I will
start recording when you're

10 minutes from one knee.

How am I gonna do that?

You're getting
on that knee, even if it

means you never bend it again.

We cannot mess this up.

[lighthearted music]

DAN: This is a long path.

It'll be worth it.

Hey!

Make it happen.

Make sure you
have your ringer on.

Standing by.

So where's this guide?

Oh, uh, Luis?

He's meeting us
at the lower pools.

OK.

I will follow you.

OK.

You'll never guess
what it tastes like.

Is it salt?

Yeah?

There's a salt water
spring feeding all this.

Then we wait
for evaporate the water,

and then we scrape
for salt. Pleased.

Your guide.

Carlos.

This is my friend, Katie.

Hello, Katie.

Hello, Carlos.

So welcome.

Oh, there's gotta be
service here somewhere.

No se.

It's OK.

[lighthearted music]

[grunting]

[sighs]

CARLOS: Did you hear that?

What?

Luis's family
have been harvesting

these pools for decades.

They're beautiful.

CARLOS: They are.

Did you get what you're
looking for, teach?

Hmm.

Luis has been telling me all
about salt's healing properties,

detoxification, trace minerals.

Random question-- do
you know how to make a--

[speaking spanish]? pachamanca?

I do.

What is that?

A traditional method
of cooking in fire pits

with hot rocks.

That could be something you
could bring back to Chicago--

a new cooking method.

You could test it out with
my super secret ingredient.

Tonight, sunset,
overlooking the valley.

If we build it,
they will come.

By "they," you
mean Dan and Luci.

[exhales] Wherever they are.

LUIS: Funny.

[laughter]

[lighthearted music]

Ah.

Good.

Nice.

We're not really here
for a secret super food.

Yes, we are.

We are.

Whatever it is,
you can tell me.

I have a food for you, really.

OK.

But there's something
else going on.

Let me in on it.

I can help.

If I tell you, you have
to promise to keep it a secret.

(WHISPERING) I promise.

[lighthearted music]

[wind blowing]

What happened?
I was ready.

I never got your text.

There wasn't any service.

Maybe we should just call it.

I'm on my last leg, literally.

No.

I've got this plan.

I saved the best for last.

I think we could just find
some special place in Cusco.

More special than this?

You can propose overlooking
the entire Sacred Valley.

It is stunning.

I'm not gonna let you down.

OK.

[lighthearted music]

Oh.

Just a little closer.

Oh, I can't watch.

We've got lots
of yucca potato.

We don't need cactus.

It's my secret ingredient.

She's got this.

Go a little further.

I got you.

Good.

OK.

Yeah.

OK.

OK.

[gasping]

[laughs]

[grunts]

So we don't use the fire.

We use the rocks?

Hot rocks, then the food,
then more hot rocks,

pachamanca means cooking
in mother air, literally.

I wonder when
your cactus goes in.

My cactus doesn't go in.

What do you mean?

You risked your life
for this rare delicacy.

Delicacy?

Who told you that?

Luis?

[chuckles] Technically,
it's not the cactus

that's a special ingredient,
but what's inside of it.

You break it open.

[grunts] And you find the--

Bugs?

Delicious bugs.

After what you told
me at the salt mines,

you didn't need
to do all of this.

I know I didn't,
but I wanted to.

You never know what might
inspire your next menu.

Now you have
to try them, Carlos.

[laughs]

He's right.

All right, let's go!

[light music]

Ah!

[lighthearted music]

[liquid pouring]

[gentle music]

Did I do that right?

Good job.

Yay!

So, guys, it's going to take
another 40, 45 minutes.

Well, see you then?

[chuckles]

[clears throat] Uh, Dan, if you
and Luci wanna take a stroll,

we can keep an eye on dinner.

I saw a spot we could
see the whole valley from.

Oh.

Yeah.

Let's go.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

You think he's gonna do it?

Oh, he better.

We have already been to all of
Peru's most lovey dovey places.

Whoa.

All those changing
plans you adjusted to--

you're more spontaneous
than you think.

Well, I am learning
from the best.

[chuckling]

It makes sense now why the
last few days felt so romantic.

Maybe that's not
the only reason.

[soft music]

You're right.

There's an energy here.

[woman squealing]

That sounded like Luci.

Is everyone OK?

I don't know, I don't know.

What happened?

I tripped.

I'm OK, but I think
I twisted my ankle.

Let me see.

Is she all right?

You told him?

You were the one who
said he was a liability.

This isn't my fault!

If I hadn't listened to you, I
would have been engaged by now.

Engaged at a restaurant, Dan.

If I hadn't taken
the ring that night,

you would have proposed
to a pisco sour.

What do you mean,
you took the ring?

You took the ring?

Her whole family was there.

That would have been
the perfect proposal!

Please!

It would have been a mess!

Couldn't be more
of a mess than this.

It would have saved
me from alpaca

allergies, eating bugs, and a
nightmare road trip with you!

- OK, guys, why don't we just--
- You should be thanking me!

Thanking you?
For what?

For stopping you from
being impulsive, thoughtless,

and making the biggest
mistake of your life!

What mistake?

Nothing, Luci.

Here, let me--

You asked, and as usual, I
came running to your rescue!

I have made this entire
trip about you, helping you!

DAN: Oh, don't act like
some sort of saint.

The only reason why you
got us to come out here

was because you didn't want
to be alone with Carlos.

Um, why don't we just go back
to Cusco and get Luci a doctor?

I'll get the truck
a little bit closer.

Carlos.

[sighing]

[somber music]

[phone ringing]

MARIA: [singing in spanish]

CARLOS (ON
VOICEMAIL): Hi, you've

reach the voicemail of Carlos.

If this is about
my restaurant opening--

Good morning, Maria.

Buenos dias.

What are you making?

I am preparing Luciana's
favorite inchicapi for her

when she gets home
from the doctor.

Oh.
I hope it makes her feel better.

Yeah.

I'm actually on my way to the
market to pick up some flowers.

Do you know her favorite?

She loves orchids.

Pink ones?

Always.

Where is Carlos?

I haven't seen him since
you got back last night.

Yeah, he disappeared
after our drive home.

He could be in Arequipa by now.

Anyway, do you need
anything from the market?

If you see aji
rocoto, we are all out.

Aji rocoto, got it.

Aji rocoto.

[soft music]

[background chatter]

Aji rocoto?

No.

Gracias.

Hola.

Hola.

Rosada-- oh.

Gracias.

Hey.

Sorry, Maria.

No luck at the market.

It's OK.

I have plenty of aji
amarillo here.

Won't that ruin the recipe?

Ruin?

No.

It's not going to be
exactly the same.

Just the essential ingredients,
and then we can improvise.

Maybe it's gonna be better.

That's the beauty of cooking.

You can be spontaneous.

This is not gonna be a perfect
inchicapi, but that's OK.

It's gonna be
perfectly imperfect.

You're right.

Carlos was right.

I'll be right back.

Ciao!

Hola.

They don't have to be pink.

I'll take them all.

Quiero todas estas.

[upbeat music]

It's all set up.

You just need
to get them in here.

[giggles]

[phone ringing]

KATIE (ON PHONE): Dan, hi.

Hey.

How's Luci?

She's good.

It's just a sprain,
but she'll have

to wear a boot for a few weeks.

But she'll be all healed
by the time her and Carlos

open up his new restaurant.

So she's taking
the sous chef position.

That's great.

It is.

She'll be busy.

There definitely won't be
an engagement redo anytime soon.

I'm sorry I pushed you so far.

I just wanted your proposal
to be perfect.

[sighs] So did I.

But it doesn't need to be.

You don't need a special
place or the right ring or

even a sappy speech.

All you need is each other.

Dan, you knew that,
and now so do I. You are

enough exactly the way you are.

Thanks.

I'll keep that in mind
for a trip next year, I guess.

I can't even begin to think
of another plan right now.

I already did.

No, I am not trying to do
another big proposal plan again.

This is different.

I promise.

Just the essential ingredients.

When you get to the house,
Maria knows what to do,

and so will you.

How?

Twin-tuition.

[gentle music]

How's the ceviche?

I feel awful about
how things went down.

Carlos, I need
to explain myself.

So you didn't
invite your brother

to avoid being stuck with me?

No, I did.

But it wasn't that I didn't
want to be stuck with you.

It was that I did.

I-- I don't get
what you mean, Katie.

Either you did or you didn't.

I wanted--

I want to be with you.

And that scares me.

So I tried to distance myself.

The last time I gave
my heart away, it got burned.

It made me think that I
couldn't trust my feelings.

But being here with
you is changing that.

You have a way of moving
through the world

that I do not understand.

You mess up every plan I make.

But what ends up happening
is somehow better than I

ever could have imagined.

I think you are incredible.

And before you take off
on your next adventure,

know that I will never
forget this trip.

I'm really sorry.

Don't you want to know
what my secret ingredient is?

The secret I have discovered
is that there isn't one.

There is no special
berry or herb or grain

because cooking isn't about how
one component works on its own,

but what happens when
it meets another.

Take that ceviche separately.

It's just fish and lime
juice and spices.

But when they get together,
chemistry happens.

Something better,
something new is created

because they are together.

Are we still
talking about cooking?

Please tell me we're not
still talking about cooking.

[romantic music]

First, I have to go
to Machu Picchu.

Ah!

Machu Picchu with you.

Right, OK.

Oh, wait, wait.

I gotta pay here.

[speaking spanish]

Slow down, Mom.

What is it?

I know nothing.

I know nothing.

She's crazy.

[gentle music]

[gasps]

Luci, you are the sun
that warms my heart

and the earth that grounds me.

Here, in Peru, where
the past and present meet,

I want to be with you,
not only in this moment,

but in all moments of my life.

Luciana, will you be my wife?

(CHUCKLING) Yes!

My work here is done.

This is incredible.

You are incredible.

[bright music]

[knocking on door]

Luci and I are--

(TOGETHER) Getting married!

[laughter]

[speaking spanish]

LUCIANA: Gracias.

[clears throat]

Congratulations.

Gracias, papi.

Hola, Senor Diaz.

Come on, give me a hug.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

[indistinct conversation]

[singing in spanish]

Will you dance with me?

Yes, Chef.

[singing in spanish]

[theme music]
