The Cook is a supporting character and antagonist.

He works in the kitchen at Lennox House, an asylum for girls in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Biography[]

The Cook had an unsavory interest in Rocket, one of the girls committed to Lennox House who works in the kitchen. After he caught Rocket attempting to steal a piece of unsweetened chocolate from the larder, he struck her and tried to rape her. He was stopped when Babydoll, hearing Rocket's cries for help, arrived and held one of Cook's own knives to his neck, threatening to slit his throat unless he freed Rocket. Together, the girls fled, leaving the knife behind.

Later, Babydoll, Rocket, Sweet Pea and Amber tried to steal one of the Cook's knives while he was under the influence of Babydoll's dance with Rocket seductively sitting on his lap. Unfortunately, spilled liquid shorted out the frayed power cord of the radio supplying the music ("Tomorrow Never Knows") for Babydoll's dance, breaking the spell. As Cook came to, he caught Sweet Pea trying to steal a knife from his belt, He leapt to his feet (unknowingly pushing the power cord away from the puddle) and struck her down. As he attempted to stab her, Rocket jumped in front of Sweat Pea to shield her. The music suddenly resumed, and so did the mission on the Train. When the song ended, it was revealed that the Cook had fatally stabbed Rocket in the stomach. She told her sister to tell their mother that she loved her, and then died in Sweet Pea's arms.

Blue, CJ, and Danforth broke into the room and discovered what had happened. A furious Blue screamed at the Cook, who cowered in apologetic fear.

When a lobotomized Babydoll was later led past the kitchen, the Cook looked at her, rubbing an empty knife holster on his belt.[1]
