The Cook is a supporting character and antagonist.

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

Movie Story

The Cook has an unsavory interest in Rocket, one of the girls committed to Lennox House who works in the kitchen. After he catches Rocket attempting to steal a piece of unsweetened chocolate from the larder, he strikes her and tries to rape her; he is stopped when Babydoll, hearing Rocket's cries for help, arrives and holds one of Cook's own knives to his neck,  threatening to slit his throat unless he frees Rocket. Together, the girls flee, leaving the knife behind.

Later, Babydoll, Rocket, Sweet Pea and Amber try to steal one of Cook's knives while he is under the influence of Babydoll's dance and Rocket is seductively sitting on his lap. Unfortunately, spilled liquid shorts out the frayed power cord of the radio supplying the music ("Tomorrow Never Knows") for Babydoll's dance, breaking the spell. As Cook comes to, he catches Sweet Pea trying to steal a knife from his belt, He leaps to his feet (unknowlingly pushing the power cord away from the puddle) and strikes her down. As he attempts to stab her, Rocket jumps in front of Sweat Pea to shield her. The music suddenly resumes, and so does the mission on the Train. When the song ends, it is revealed that Cook has fatally stabbed Rocket in the stomach. She tells her sister to tell their mother that she loves her, and then dies in Sweet Pea's arms.

Blue, C.J. and Danforth break in and discover what has happened. A furious Blue screams at Cook, who cowers in apologetic fear.

At the end of the movie, when a lobotomized Babydoll is led past the kitchen, Cook looks at her, rubbing an empty knife holster on his belt.
