Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story Page #4

hanging with a crew

that was tripping on

acid and doing coke

and everything else.

[Kathie] When Eduardo was 17,

he sat at the kitchen

table and he said,

"I realize that my habits

were hurting my family."

[Eduardo] So I'm tired of

living in the shadows of lies

and I just want to

level the field here

and me, Euge, Indra, dad,

we've been using drugs for

years behind your back, mom.

I mean, I was livid.

And I think for Eduardo

going straight was essential.

[Eduardo] I decided if I

want to make an impact in life,

I needed to get to business,

I need to get to work,

I need to be

purposeful in my life.

I had already been cooking in

restaurants since I was 15.

And then I decided

culinary school

was going to be where

I put all my energy

and through that,

I wanted to discover

my potential

on my own without substances.

[Announcer] Eduardo Garcia.

(audience applause)

[Eduardo] Danielle, you

want to see something cool?

Come here.

[Jennifer] Yeah,

this is pretty cool.

So, this is lefty,

you now lefty, Danielle?

[Danielle] Yeah.

I can feel all my

fingers still over there

even though they're not there.

That's my thumb moving,

this is my pinky moving.

Maybe I'll be able to

get a prosthetic limb

that has like some

kind of sensors.

I don't want the ones that are

supposed to look like hands.

I want like cool, custom made

like hardwood cherry hands

or oak or like titanium, I

don't know, something cool.

[Woman] Antler.

F***ing yeah,

antler, like bone,

kinda cool.

[Woman] That's awesome.

That is awesome.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Only time I was worried for him

was when he had

his chest operation

because they'd never done

anything like it before.

With the rib, you

can't just cut it off

and leave a hole in the chest.

What we have to do

is try to find ways

to cover that up.

[Jennifer] So we had

like the burn team,

the plastic surgeon team,

the cardiothoracic team,

everybody around the bed

just kind of

brainstorming essentially

what muscle they

could take from where.

[Doctor] Everything

that's dead.

-Gotta go.

-[Doctor] Gotta go, yeah.

That may leave you with a

hole on your chest this big.

Yes, sir.

[Doctor] Like kind of

stick my head in it kind of.

Yes, sir.

The likelihood of you

doing pull ups again is zero.

Pull ups again

-in a year?

-Ever, ever.

You're gonna have,

your lat's gonna be

turned around to here.

(knives scraping)

[Eduardo] I just wrapped

up a very successful year

as a yacht chef,

11 years of hard work.

My way of cooking as a

professional yacht chef

really became:
get there,

figure out what's in the market,

what's local, what's in season
