-That is so much money.
-I've never seen this happen! -Let's go!
-So far, the Wall has paid out over $25 million.
It's an all-time record!
He was right. It's the correct answer!
Get the answers... Drop it.
...the Wall adds money.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And now, with even more exciting ways to win...
We are in Wall to Wall.
-Obviously, you want to go big.
-Oh! -But make a mistake,
and the Wall takes away.
-No!
No! No! No!
-Tonight, a hero and his daughter from the Bay Area
are gonna get their dream shot
here on "The Wall."
Wait till you see this.
So, on a crowded train platform in Oakland after a Raiders game,
a man falls onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train.
And that's when John O'Connor, a 26-year veteran
at Bay Area Rapid Transit, pulled off a miracle.
With literally seconds to act,
John risked his own life, grabbed the man,
pulled him up to safety with no time to spare.
You're gonna get to meet him and his daughter, Toni,
coming up right now on "The Wall."
-Welcome to "The Wall" on NBC.
**
-Please welcome to "The Wall," John and Toni!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah! Oh, my God!
-There it is. -It's huge!
-It's way bigger than you think it's gonna be.
-It's way bigger than it looks like on TV.
-Yeah. -Honestly, it's really great
to have you both here.
John, you saved a man's life. [ Cheers and applause ]
And if we do this right tonight,
you hopefully can go home with up to $12 million.
-Oh, my God. -Man.
-But before we get to that,
I would love to introduce the two of you.
John here is a first-generation Irish American,
grew up in a working-class neighborhood
in the Bay Area of California. So did my dad, by the way.
-Oh, awesome. -Right on.
-John recently retired after being a train operator
and supervisor after 26 years
on the job at BART. -So amazing.
His daughter Toni, who just got married --
Congratulations. -I did! Thank you. June, yeah.
-Also works as a BART station agent.
In fact, all three of John's kids
followed in their father's footsteps and work there.
-My dad has always just been the best example
of what a man and a human is supposed to be.
I mean, he leads with kindness. He has the best work ethic.
He's loved us all so unconditionally,
and I think the world of my dad.
-The whole world got to see a bit of that
when John went viral for doing something incredible.
So, it's a packed platform
after a football game in Oakland.
A fan fell onto the tracks
as an oncoming train headed right for him.
What John did next was simply miraculous.
He pulled the man back onto the platform
with less than a second to spare,
saving this man's life. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I didn't really have time.
When you look at it, I think it was two seconds.
Everything slowed down.
I got all kinds of things running through my head.
-Yeah.
-And then I said, "I can get him."
So I snatched him and rolled, and it worked out very well.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-So, John, I want to ask you, because we see
that great footage of you right after this happened.
You're embracing the man
with everyone surrounding you.
That moment, as it, like -- is it starting to sink in?
-Yeah.
I mean, the world would be a better place
if we all cared about each other a lot more, right?
-Yeah. -He put his hand out,
so I just picked him up, gave him a hug.
[ Voice breaking ] Man, I got three kids and three grandkids.
[ Exhales sharply ] So, um...
Sorry. I get a little choked up.
I don't know why, still.
Um, I guess 'cause it was a human life,
you know, that's somebody's child.
-Well, we're glad you're here.
And John, you know, you've earned this shot to be here,
so let's start getting some money up on the Wall.
-Yes, yes, yes! -Let's do this.
-Later in the show,
the million-dollar bin is on the Wall.
We're gonna give you 10 chances at that million dollars.
But to earn a shot at the millions,
we have to make it through Free Fall Plus.
-Yes! -Free Fall Plus.
-Let's load up those three balls.
You have to lock in your answer before the first ball
breaks the plane at the top of those slots right there.
And then we just have to finish Free Fall in the positive
for a chance to go on to play for millions of dollars.
There's a golden touchpad at the bottom with a plus sign on it.
That's Free Fall Plus.
So if you're very confident,
you can smack that. -Okay.
-It'll turn the balls gold, and then wherever they land,
it will double the amount. -Ahh, double!
-But you can only do that once. -Yeah.
-So you want to make sure you get that one right.
-For sure. -Because we have to take away
double if you don't. -Alright.
-You ready to start Free Fall Plus?
-Nothing to it but to do it. -That's right. That's right.
Here's your first question of Free Fall.
-"A," "A," "A." "A Star is Born."
Double, double, double!
-Alright, Free Fall Plus straight out of the gate.
See if we can get them to 25.
-Right here, right here!
25!
And another 25,000!
Oh, my gosh! -That's what I'm talking about!
-Yes! Oh, my gosh! -On the first one,
and she doubled it.
-So, 25 and 25 is 50. -Yes!
You've doubled, which would make it 100
if you are right...
which you are!
That is a correct answer.
Way to go! -That was awesome!
-After one question, you have $100,002.
-Oh, my God, that's amazing.
-It's time for question two of Free Fall.
-"B," "B," dimples! -"B," "B," "B!"
-Go, go, go!
-We can do it again! -Come on! Let's go, let's go!
-25, 25, 25! -One more time!
25,000! -Yeah! Yeah! Oh, my God.
-25,200.
"Dimples" is a correct answer.
-That's amazing. -So now your total is $125,202.
You have a boatload of money on the Wall
after only two questions. -That's awesome.
Let's get to question three of Free Fall.
-Arkansas. -Arkansas. "B," "B," "B."
Okay, okay. -Come on.
Let's go, right here.
We'll take more money.
Can we get another 25?
-$1!
10,000. -Whoo!
-Let's go! -Yeah!
-$10,002. -That works.
-Whoo! -You said Arkansas.
It was Alaska. I'm so sorry. -Ohh!
-Arkansas is AR. Alaska's AK. -Ohh!
-But you only lost $10,000.
You're total on the Wall right now, 115,200.
-Okay. -That's good.
-Here's your fourth question of Free Fall.
-The Dodo! "A," "A," "A!"
The Dodo, let's go! Let's go! 25!
-Get back in the 25, come on! Do it again!
Okay, there's a 1. 5,000.
-There was a 5,000 right there, on the Wall.
Good job. -$5,002.
The Dodo is a correct answer.
That's good. -It's always so cute.
-Yeah, exactly.
Your total on the Wall now is $120,202.
-Oh, my gosh. That's so amazing.
-Let's do our last question of Free Fall here.
-Red, white, and blue! -Red, white, and blue!
Go, go! -Come on, 25, 25!
-There's another 25K!
There's another 25, and a 5.
-25, yeah! -5,000! Let's go!
-A $30,001 question, if you're right.
Of course, they're red, white, and blue.
Of course they are. [ Cheers and applause ]
-That was awesome!
-Your total at the end of Free Fall is...
$150,203.
-Oh, my gosh!
-Right on. -That's amazing, Dad.
-That's a good thing. -That's a really good thing.
-Oh, my God. -Yeah.
-You know, later on, you're gonna have a choice,
which is keep guaranteed money --
this plus a bonus for however many we get right --
or rip up the contract,
risk it all for potentially millions of dollars on the Wall.
But before the game, you decided, Toni,
you're gonna go back and answer questions.
-Yeah. Yes. -Why did you decide that?
-You saw that with the Arkansas answer.
[ Laughter ]
I ain't the sharpest tack in the drawer.
-Ah, get out of here. -Oh, my gosh, Dad.
-I have my strengths and weaknesses,
but I'm so impressed and so proud of this girl.
I trust her with everything.
-Well, the next time you see each other,
you could be multimillionaires. -Wow.
Dad, this is insane.
A couple months ago,
you were literally walking me down the aisle,
and now we're here getting a chance
to make so many more dreams come true tonight.
People will say, like, "That was your dad?"
Yeah, that was my dad that pulled that man
from the trackway.
The scariest moment of his life,
you were the only one that stepped forward.
Well, I'm going back there feeling pumped,
knowing that my dad, my hero, is out here handling business.
When you handle business, Dad, everything turns out good.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Toni, the minute I had you, you changed my life.
I couldn't be more proud of you.
Go back there, kick some butt,
take some names, and let's do this.
-Yeah. I love you, Dad. -Love you too, Tone,
more than you'll ever know.
-Alright, Toni, let's go back. -Alright.
-He'll be sending you the emotional support.
-Thank you, Chris. Bye, Dad.
-Alright, from this point on,
Toni's gonna have no idea what's going on out here.
She doesn't know if you're up a million
or down to zero or back up again.
But I'm gonna be out here with you.
When we come back,
the million dollar Superdrop kicks us off.
-150! Come on! -Oh, my God.
And later... -Go big or go home?
-Go big or go home, man.
-A record-breaking night plays out...
-Oh, yeah! -Right, right, right!
[ Cheering ]
-...as "The Wall" soars to new heights.
-It could happen! Oh, my gosh.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-Hello! Welcome back to "The Wall."
I'm here with John,
a life-saving hero from the Bay Area.
His daughter Toni is behind the Wall in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now, $150,203.
Before we start Round Two,
who did you bring for support here in the VIP section?
-Well, Chris, I brought my son John Jr.
-What up? -And I also brought
my recently retired from the Navy son-in-law
who's going through nursing school.
-Hey, and congratulations on the wedding.
-Thank you very much. Thank you. -Let's get back into it.
Because up there we have the $150,000 bin for this round.
That's our top value on the Wall.
-Hey, it's getting real, huh?
-Now we're gonna do the Superdrop.
So we're gonna load up seven green balls
up there at the top. -Alright.
-We're gonna rain down some money on this Wall.
Let's load those up.
-Let's go! 150!
-They are gonna turn red at the end of this round,
but right now,
you could earn more than a million dollars in seconds.
Superdrop it!
-Come on down! Right here!
150! 150!
100! 150, come on!
Right, right, right. Get in there!
Come on, 150! -There's a 100.
There's a 100! -Yeah!
-Oh, my gosh. -Yeah!
Got this! Man!
-John! -Killing it!
-$505,001. -Yeah!
That means your total right now,
655,204.
-Yeah, I'll take that all day, every day.
-I would imagine so.
That was over a half a million dollars.
But now we got to go to the questions.
This is where you have a bit of control in the game, right?
You get to decide where to play the ball from.
5, 6, and 7 can be a little riskier,
because you can see the higher amounts are underneath.
1, 2, and 3 can be a bit safer.
Then later, for the third question,
I'm gonna give you the opportunity
to triple up and then also go Wall to Wall.
It's like a Superdrop in a question.
I'm gonna turn a ball gold. You drop it in.
Seven gold balls up there.
We're gonna give you the option to try for
more money than ever, if you choose to do that.
-Okay.
-So, here are your first set of answers.
Based on these, where would you like to play from?
-I have no clue what any of that is.
Let's go down middle of the road.
-Alright.
-I'm gonna put this one in number 4.
-Number 4.
-Alright, come on. Give me some love.
-That goes into 4.
Let's send Toni the question.
-Well, I am not familiar with the name
of jumping that this type of animal does,
but I'm going to go ahead and eliminate snarfing.
Those animals are very, very graceful,
so I think I'm gonna go with...
"A," champing.
Lock it in.
-Alright. She's locked in "champing."
It's called "pronking." It's pronking.
That's a hard one!
-So now we're just going straight down to that $1.
-Straight down the middle. $1, right underneath.
Let's see if we can make it happen.
Drop it! -Be nice to me, please!
-To the left! -Right here.
-Yeah, keep going left! -Straight down.
No, no, other way.
Yeah, come on. Nope, nope, nope.
[ Cheering ] -Yeah! $100!
-Yeah. -That's not bad.
-I will take that.
-$655,104 is your total.
-Man, I'll tell you.
-Here are your next set of answers.
Now I'm gonna give you the opportunity to double up.
You can play two balls from any number
Doubling up could take you to $950,000,
or it could bring you down to 350,000.
-Let's double it up from 5.
-Alright. We're doubling up from 5.
-There's the first one.
-And there's two loaded up in 5.
Alright. Let's send Toni the question.
-You got this.
-So, The Rock was actually from Hawaii,
and I know that Hawaii gets a lot of hurricanes.
Tornadoes is definitely more of a Midwest thing, I believe.
-Come on. -And lightning...
it's not really resonating with me.
So I'm gonna go ahead and say
"A," hurricanes.
Lock it in.
-She went to "hurricanes."
Dwayne Johnson played for
the University of Miami Hurricanes!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright. -150, right here.
-Go ahead and drop it!
-Come on, baby. Let's go.
Both of them, right here.
**
Alright, right, right, right. Come on, baby!
Here it comes. Come on, right.
Right, right. Come on.
You can do it!
-There's 100! -Come on, yeah!
-100,000. 100's not bad.
-I will take 100 all day, every day.
-Absolutely. -Hey.
-That takes you up to $755,114.
Here is your last set of answers.
Now you can play one ball, you can triple up,
or you can say, "Chris, I want to go Wall to Wall
and drop a ball from every slot."
'Cause if you see over there, we light that up.
That now becomes a fancy ball.
So you can play fancy ball and go Wall to Wall,
where we put seven balls up there.
Wall to Wall could get you over $1.8 Million.
But I would do that if you're really sure,
because while it can add a lot of money,
it's a Superdrop, so if they all turn red,
it's gonna take away a lot of money.
-I want to be aggressive.
-Man, go big or go home.
That's what we're here for. -Go big or go home.
-Let's go. -Love you guys.
-Love you, too.
-We're gonna triple up. -Okay.
-From 6. -Okay. Triple up from 6.
Go put three balls in there.
-One... -One going into number 6.
There's two.
And the third for the triple.
Send it over to Toni.
-Come on, Tone. -Alright, Dad.
I actually remember being very young
and having our babysitters around,
and they were watching this type of stuff all the time.
So I am actually gonna go ahead and lock it in
on "C," caviar dreams.
-Yeah!
-At the end of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,"
host Robin Leach typically said,
"Champagne wishes and caviar dreams."
[ Cheers and applause ] -She got it! Yeah!
-You've tripled up from number 6!
You might be getting your own caviar dreams,
John O'Connor.
So, let's see if we can put those into the 150.
Drop it!
-150! Let's get 450! Come on down!
Come on, right!
You got this! Come on, right!
-Okay, there's one that could... -Come on, other right!
Alright, come on.
Go, go, go.
25, 100, 100. -Aww.
-Alright, hey. -That's $210.
Your total is 755,324.
-Hey, we're still up there.
-You know, unfortunately, this is the part of the show
where we have to turn all the balls red. -Uh-oh.
[ Crowd groans ]
-At the beginning, we dropped seven green balls.
Now we have to drop seven red.
Alright, evil Superdrop! Just be kind for a change!
Drop it.
-Come on, baby.
Be kind!
Okay, come on.
Down there. Come on, down there.
$1 over there.
-$10!
-5!
-Oh, 75.
75.
And 1. -$1!
-That's not bad!
You still have a lot of money on the Wall.
Your total after the evil Superdrop is...
$575,213. -Okay!
-That is a great place to be, because when we come back,
this is what separates the Wall from every other game show.
We're gonna add a million-dollar bin to the wall.
-Let's go!
-And with four free shots at it...
Come on, baby. -...John goes all out.
Can you believe?
Yeah! -Yeah!
-This is the highest total we've ever had on the Wall.
-Wow!
-And later, Toni struggles
with one of the biggest decisions in "Wall" history.
-I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders,
but in the end, I decided...
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm out here with John.
And his daughter Toni is behind the Wall in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now is $575,213.
And the million-dollar bin is up there on the Wall.
There it is. There it is, right there.
As you know, we start this round with four green balls.
That's four free shots at a million.
Wherever you play those, they're gonna come back later
as four red balls at the end of the round.
And then it's those three questions in the middle
where you can tip the scales in your favor or against it.
So, where would you like to play that first green ball?
-So, to start this off, I'm gonna put it in 6.
-Okay. Drop it in there.
-So, I got three kids and three grandsons.
And with college being the standard these days,
my grandsons need -- gonna need some money
'cause it's not cheap. -Yeah.
-'Cause I -- I was on food stamps.
I was, you know, I...
Wasn't an easy childhood, we'll say.
So, anything I can do to help my family move forward.
-That's right! -That's fantastic, man.
So, you played 6
for the three kids and the three grandkids.
That could easily fall in the million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Drop it!
-Please! [ Chuckles ]
And here we go.
Right, right, right!
-Oh! Oh! -Keep going!
Keep going! Keep going!
-Ah! Gosh. -Oh! Oh, man!
-That was really close.
That's $100.
Your total on the Wall, $575,313.
Where do you want to play this next one?
-I'm gonna go with, uh, 7. -7. Alright.
-Here we go. There we go. -Drop it in.
There it goes.
Alright. Number 7.
This could take you over $1.5 million.
-Let's do it!
Drop it. Come on, baby. One million!
Oh, yeah. Come on. There you go.
Come on down. Keep right.
No, the other right!
Come on. Go back, go back!
Go back. Come on. Right, right, right!
Yeah!
[ All cheering ]
Yeah!
A million dollars. Yeah, baby!
-Oh, my God. You hit it.
You took the risk. You went for it.
You played it from 7, and it pays off huge.
You now have $1,575,313.
-Wow! -We're on a good roll.
Where do you want to play your third ball?
-Um...
I'm gonna play this one in 4. -Okay.
We're dropping it in number 4.
Alright. We already just hit a million.
Can we do it again? -You can do it!
-This could take you over $2.5 million.
Drop it!
-Let's do it.
Come on.
There it is. Come right, right!
Right! Right!
Take that hard right. Hard right!
Hard right! Come on.
Keep -- Keep -- Okay.
Come down here.
Ohh! -$10!
-Oh! That's alright.
-So, your total on the Wall, $1,575,323.
-Alright, man.
-Where do you want to play this last one?
-Let's go 7.
-Alright, we're going 7 again.
Very uncommon play.
-Let's go 7.
-Two 7s in the same set of green drops.
This could take you over $2.5 million.
Drop it! -Come on, 7.
Right here, right now.
Right here. Right, right, right!
Right, right. -Oh, good get.
Oh, my gosh. -Right, right, right!
-Oh, it could happen. -Come on. Right, right!
There you go. Come on, come on.
[ All cheering ]
Ohh! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Better lucky than good, baby.
Better lucky than good.
-Yeah!
-Very few people have ever pushed the Wall this high.
I don't know if I've seen that before.
You played 7 twice.
You hit the million twice.
You have $2,575,323 right now.
-Yeah! -This is huge.
But there's still potentially $6 million if it all works out.
Wow.
Now we're getting to the questions.
I'm gonna give you the answers first.
Based on those,
where would you like to play this ball?
-This one's got me a little nervous.
We'll go with number 3.
-Number 3.
Alright. Let's send Toni the question.
-Alright, Dad, I love roller coasters.
And it's funny 'cause when that question first appeared,
I actually said velocity.
For some reason, in my mind, that just popped out.
But at the same time, when you're dropping --
hello, gravity.
You drop something, and it's gonna fall.
So, gravitational potential energy
definitely sounds like something that it could be.
-I think so, too.
-I'm going to go with "D," gravitational potential energy.
Lock it in.
-I hope she's right. -"Typical roller coaster,
the moment the cars have climbed the peak,
they have the greatest amount of which of the following?"
Gravitational potential energy! -Yeah!
Whoo! Man!
-Alright, one ball from number 3.
This could take you over $3.5 million.
Drop it!
-Let's go, baby.
Come on!
Right, right, right! Right!
Come on. Keep coming right.
Keep coming right. Keep coming right.
This way, this way!
That way.
-Oh, my God! -Yeah!
-$300,000. -Hey! Yeah!
You're at $2,875,323.
-Whoo! Whoo!
This is the most money anyone's ever had
in the middle of the game on the Wall...
-Wow. -...is 2.875.
I would say everyone's doing quite well right now.
This man has two questions left in the game.
He's gonna be able to double up. -Two.
-He's gonna be able to triple up.
Right now, it's 2.8,
but there's still potentially 5 million.
Could he get it up to $7.8 million?
I don't know, but you have got to come back.
You're watching "The Wall."
-Yeah! -Thanks for coming back.
If you're just joining us,
call everyone you know.
My gosh, we have $2.8 million on the Wall.
-Man! -This is a record
set by John and Toni.
Toni's back in isolation.
She has no idea how much money is on the Wall right now.
John's got two questions left in the game.
He can still double up, still triple up.
-Let's do it.
-Here are your next set of answers.
You can double up if you want.
Doubling up could get you over 4.8 million
or it could take you down to 875.
I think I'm gonna double up from 2.
-Alright. Double up from 2.
There's one...
and there's two.
-Let's send Toni the question.
-Well, I know that lilac is used in a lot of perfumes,
and France,
I mean, one of the things it's known for is perfumes.
But when the question came on,
pictures of tons of lavender fields popped in my mind.
So...
I'm gonna go ahead and say "A," lavender.
Lock it in.
-The best time to see this particular plant is in July,
when most of them are in bloom.
It's lavender! -Yeah!
Yeah! -You doubled up from 2.
We got some green.
Let's see if we can get another million up there!
Drop it! -Come on, now.
-This could take you over $4.8 million.
-Let's do it. Let's set more records.
Right here.
Come on.
Alright, here we go. Come right, right!
Right! Come on!
Alright. 200. 200.
-$100. -Alright. Come on.
Come over here. Right, right, right!
-$50,000! -50! Yeah!
I will take that. -Nothing wrong with that.
John, look at your total, man.
2,925,423. -Man!
Wow.
-This is your last set of answers.
-Alright.
-This is a really big question.
You have $2.9 million on the wall.
Tripling up could get you to almost $6 million
if she gets it right and they all went in there.
Or it could wipe you out.
Do you want to triple up?
-What did you say? Go big or go home?
-Go big or go home, man. -Nothing to it but to do it.
Let's triple it up, Chris.
-From what number?
-Number 7. -Alright!
Tripling up from 7.
[ Cheers and applause ]
One...
...two...
three.
Three balls from number 7, hovering over the million.
Let's send her the question.
-3,000 screaming teenagers
are at New York's Kennedy Airport
to greet The Beatles.
-Alright, Dad, I kind of hope that you tripled up.
-Oh, good. -Yeah.
-Drake -- his songs are amazing.
You know, he's got a lot of top-charting songs as well.
But Taylor Swift is amazing.
She has so many great songs, so many chart-toppers.
So I'm gonna say the answer is "B," Taylor Swift.
Lock it in.
-Okay. Be right. Please, be right.
-Alright. She said Taylor Swift.
If she's right, that could be worth a lot of money.
If not, it could take away a lot of money.
Correct answer...
was Drake.
-Aah! -I'm so sorry. It was Drake.
I'm so sorry. -Ohh!
-Taylor Swift didbreak this record in 2022,
but Drake did it first, in 2021. -No! No, no, no, no, no.
I'm so sorry. Three red balls.
-Alright. -It could totally wipe you out.
Drop 'em!
-Come on. Go left.
Go left! Left!
Left! Left!
-Ohh. -That left!
That left! That left!
-There's a dollar! -Yeah!
[ Cheering ]
-Oh, my gosh! -Yeah!
-Can you believe? -Yeah!
Man!
-John!
How did you do that? -Yeah!
Yeah!
-$102.
Someone or something very powerful
is watching over you today.
This is the most money
we've ever had on the Wall this late in the game.
-Wow. -$2,925,321.
-Whoo!
You okay over there? Is everyone okay?
Okay.
Wow. Well, it is deliberation time.
And this is a really tough one. We want everyone to have
the chance to leave with guaranteed money.
Toni doesn't know what's out here on the Wall right now.
She has no way of knowing what that is.
In this canister is a contract.
And let's just talk about what it's worth.
Okay, your Free Fall amount was 150,203.
Toni got four questions right, which was fantastic.
So, 20 grand for each one of those.
Which means if she signs a contract,
you're going home with $230,203. -Okay.
If she signs it, it will take away the Wall total right now,
which is a record $2.9 million.
If she tears it up,
you're left with whatever is left on the Wall,
which right now is more than 10 times that amount.
-[ Laughs ]
-We still need to get through those four red balls.
I believe you played 7 twice in there.
-Yeah.
-We're gonna bring her up on the Wall.
She can't hear you or see you, but you can talk to her,
and I'm gonna send her this contract.
-Alright, Toni Baloney.
Man, we did it.
We did it. You never know.
But in this case, tear that contract up, Tone.
Tear it up.
-Alright. There it goes.
She has the contract.
Everything is in her hands. -Ooh.
-We're cutting off the feed.
Toni's gonna make this decision on her own.
Maybe one of the most important decisions in our show's history.
We'll find out at the end.
-I cannot believe that I am sitting here right now.
This piece of paper represents so much.
I feel like I might have done okay.
I mean, if I got three questions right,
that's $210,000 guaranteed.
[ Sighs ]
It's more than we'll ever see in one -- one chance again.
But...
I just can't fight the feeling that,
just maybe that chance that --
that everything went well
and that my dad played a perfect game.
There's always a chance. There's always a chance.
This could be our moment.
**
[ Exhales sharply ]
**
What do I do? What I do?
I just don't know what to do.
-Welcome back to "The Wall."
I'm here with John.
I mean, this is like lottery money.
There's $2,925,321 on the Wall.
This is huge.
We're waiting for Toni to make a really important decision.
-I just don't know what to do.
Oh, God.
-Is your kind of outlook on life, like,
whatever's meant to be is meant to be?
-Yes. -If it's 200, that's amazing.
If it's 2 million, that's also amazing.
-And if it's nothing, I didn't lose nothing.
-Right.
-[ Exhales sharply ]
**
-Coming from where I come from, I can't ask for nothing more.
-I mean, I feel like America is loving you right now,
and they're really pulling for you.
I'm pulling for you. [ Alarm beeping ]
Oh, there it is.
Alright. It's done.
Whether she signed it or tore it up, we don't know.
There's one last terrible part of the game.
We got to drop these four red balls.
We're gonna drop them from the same numbers
as you dropped the greens from.
So, the first number you chose was 6.
I'm gonna need you to pick that up and put it in.
-Do me right, baby.
-Number 6.
Load it up. Here it comes.
We're protecting almost $3 million on this drop.
Drop it! -Left! Left!
Let's see.
Come on, left, baby. Left!
Left, left, left!
Left, left, left, left!
Right here! Go down! One dollar, one dollar!
Right there, right there! One dollar!
-Oh! -Yeah!
[ All cheering ] -Oh, my God!
Come on. -Yeah!
Man!
-Just danced over the 400.
Oh, my gosh. -Yeah!
That's the best $10 I've seen in my life.
-Alright. $2,925,311.
-Whoo!
-Second number you selected was 7.
-Uh-oh. -It's the first one of those.
-Be kind, 7.
-We have another one coming up later,
but let's get through this first one.
Drop it!
-We gotta go left.
Left! Come on.
Left!
Go on, baby. That's right.
Keep coming. Keep coming -Wow, it's really going left.
It's really going to the left. -Right here.
Right there. Right there. Right there.
-Oh! -That's okay.
-Sorry. Lost track.
-300,000. -Alright.
Your total on the wall right now is $2,625,311.
-Okay.
-Third number you selected was 4.
-Alright.
-We're halfway through.
$2.6 million on the wall.
Drop it!
-Be nice to me.
Come on.
Left, left.
Left, left. That way.
That way. Right here.
Right here. Right here.
Right here.
-One dollar! -Yeah!
-One dollar! -Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
-You still have on the Wall $2,625,310.
-One ball left. -This is crazy.
One ball left. -One ball left, baby!
-One ball left.
I need you to pick that up, put it in 7.
We're protecting $2.625 million.
-Thank you, dear God.
-You played number 7 again.
Risky play, but it has paid off for you this entire game.
You've had the most incredible bounces I've ever seen
in a single game of this show.
Drop it!
-Come on, babe. Come on, babe.
Left.
That way! This way, this way!
Come here, man. Get over here.
There we go. Get over here.
This way, right here. Get over here.
Yeah, yeah! -$100!
$100! $100! -Yeah!
Yeah! -Whoo!
-Yeah! -Oh, my gosh.
Just an incredible run to finish this game.
Four drops --
three from high-risk numbers, by the way --
and you only lost a little over $300,000.
John, this is a record.
This is the highest total we've ever had on the Wall.
Look at this number.
2,625,210.
-It's unreal, man. -This is unreal.
-It's unreal. -In just a minute,
you definitely want to stay tuned.
What decision did she make back there?
It could be a contract which she signed --
it would be worth $230,203.
Or, if she rips it up, more than 10 times that amount.
$2,625,210.
You should really stick around and see how this plays out.
We'll be back in a few minutes.
This is insane.

-Welcome back to "The Wall." Alright.
We're gonna bring Toni out and find out what she decided.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Toni. Hello.
-Hi. -Welcome back.
How are you doing now that you're back out in front here?
-[ Sighs ] Still nerve-racked. -Yeah.
Well, before you tell us what you decided back there,
I'll let you know what was going on out here.
You got four questions right.
I'm gonna give you 20,000 toward each one of those.
Which means if you signed the contract I sent you,
it was worth $230,203.
If you tore it up, you're risking it all
for what's left here on the Wall,
which you don't know what that is yet.
So I'm gonna bring you over to your dad,
and we're gonna wrap this up.
-Alright. -You did great back there.
-Thank you. -You did so great.
-Thank you. Oh!
[ Exhales sharply ]
-You okay? -[ Laughs ]
Hi, Dad. -Hi, baby girl.
-Oh, I can't even begin to describe
what the feeling was back there.
I mean, my heart is still pounding out of my chest.
And when the contract came,
I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Because you've always sacrificed for our family.
You've taken jobs that were so hard on your body
and you've always been there for us as a family.
The world needs more people like you.
And, Dad, I don't ever want to have to see
you fix your shoes with duct tape ever again.
As your daughter, I want to make your dreams come true.
That's my only goal here.
So what do I do?
Do I be like you --
a little bit more on the cautious side --
or be like Mom?
And she loves to say "go big or go home."
You're never gonna be here in this moment ever again.
So why not throw caution to the wind?
In the end, I decided...
[ Breathing shakily ]
...I decided to sign the contract.
[ Crying ]
-Toni...
That night at the Coliseum
when I pulled that kid out of the trackway,
the fact that we both made it out of there okay
and the love that I have for my family...
I'm the richest man in the world.
You can't buy that kind of love.
You know, you rocked in there.
So, you signed it.
We're going home with $230,000.
That's gonna help our family immensely.
-[ Sighs ]
But we would have left with $2.6 million.
-Ohh, my God!
-Toni, come here.
-[ Sobbing ] I'm so sorry. -It's okay.
-Oh, my God. -It's okay.
-[ Sobs ] I'm so sorry.
-No, it's okay. You couldn't have known.
-Oh, my God. -Wait, listen.
-You couldn't have known. -You couldn't have known.
Toni, come here. Let me talk to you for a sec.
You couldn't have known. -No!
-You were staring at
over $200,000. -No!
-You did not make a wrong decision.
You were just thinking about your dad and your family.
So please, do not beat yourself up about this, okay?
-Yeah. -Because you are still
going home... -Yeah.
-...with $230,000!
$230,203. -Ah!
-It's okay, baby girl. -You know what?
This still had an incredible outcome.
John and Toni played their hearts out,
and the Wall would have rewarded them either way.
John said it all --
he has his family, and that makes him a rich man.
$230,000 is still a lot of money.
I had an amazing time up here with them.
I hope you had a great time, too.
And I hope this made your day a little bit better.
We'll see you next time on "The Wall."
$230,203!
-Yeah! -Whoo!
