-That is so much money.
-I've never seen this happen! -Let's go!
-So far, the wall has paid out over $25 million.
-All time record!
He was right! It's the correct answer!
-Get the answers...
Drop it!
...the wall adds money.
[ Screaming ]
-And now with even more exciting ways to win.
We are in Wall to Wall.
-Obviously, you want to go big.
-Ohh. -But make a mistake...
and the Wall takes away.
[ Cheering ]
-Tonight, a mother and son from Colorado
will get their dream shot.
Yvonne is the rock of her military family,
and with her husband away stationed overseas,
she works full time and is raising two sons.
But when she saw that some military families
couldn't afford to attend some of life's biggest events,
she stepped up for them, too.
Yvonne co-founded Operation Deploy Your Dress,
and in the last seven years, over 18,000 dresses
have been sent to families all over the world.
This Military Spouse of the Year and her son
are coming up right now on "The Wall."
-Welcome to "The Wall" on NBC.
**
-Please welcome Yvonne and Jakob!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-How are you doing?
-I'm doing great. How about yourself?
-Nice to meet you. How are you?
-My pleasure. -Jakob, how are you?
-Great. Great to meet you. -Nice to see you both.
Very nice to meet you.
Before we get into the game,
I want to tell everyone a little bit about you both.
Yvonne and Jakob hail from Fort Carson, Colorado,
part of a proud military family there.
-I mean, I'm so proud of my dad.
Everything that he's done and sacrificed
for not only our family, but our country is something
that I try to emulate in myself every day.
He's the reason that I'm the man that I am today.
-The life of a military spouse obviously has its challenges,
so Yvonne set out to make it easier
for families to get together for big events.
You've helped so many families find dresses,
find confidence through Operation Deploy Your Dress.
But just as Operation Deploy Your Dress was taking off,
Jakob and his family were hit
with some incredibly shocking news.
-So I was actually diagnosed with cancer
only two weeks after my 21st birthday.
It was one of the worst presents that I think I've ever gotten.
That was obviously a very tough time in my life,
but the one constant was my mom.
You know, she was there when I was diagnosed.
She was there when I went into surgery.
She kept my mind off of the negativity.
She was just so bright, so bubbly, and that light
that I needed during that portion of my life.
-You know, at such a young age,
to handle something so big with such poise and such ease.
I only wish that if I'm ever faced with something like that,
that I'm half the person
that he was.
-That's incredible.
But, you know, you remember, where did he get this from?
You know, he has great parents who instilled these things.
So that was in you.
-They definitely pushed me.
They kept me going. They kept me motivated.
It really took my mind off of the medical side of things
and I was able to focus on, hey,
I just want to be a normal student.
I want to be around my friends. I want to be around my family.
-I just think it's so great to see this wonderful family
who has prevailed in these adverse circumstances.
-Thank you. -It's a pleasure to have you on.
You've definitely earned a shot at what could be up
to $12 million here on The Wall today.
-We're ready. -Later in the show,
the million-dollar bin is on the Wall.
-We're going to 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.
Let's load up those three balls.
So you know how this works.
Three balls are going to come flying down the Wall,
and then you have to lock in your answer
before the first ball breaks the plane
on the top of those slots right there.
You must finish Free Fall in the positive
for a chance to go on to play for millions of dollars.
You can see there's a disk there with a plus sign on it.
That's Free Fall Plus.
If you're very confident
that you know an answer, you can hit that,
it will turn the balls gold,
it will double the values.
Right or wrong, you can only use the plus sign once,
so use it wisely.
-Are you ready? -We're ready!
-Alright, here we go!
It's time for the first question of Free Fall Plus.
-Norm. Norm. -Norm?
-A, A, A, A.
[ Cheering ]
-$5,000!
-Come on, get to the left!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah!
-Okay!
-Say it with me, the correct answer is --
Norm!
Well done.
Which means your total on the Wall right now is $25,010.
It's time for question two of Free Fall.
-I don't know. Let's say West. -West?
-I don't know.
-Come on, come on!
Come on! -Okay. $20,000.
-Come on! Alright! -$1.
-Did you Plus it? -I didn't Plus it.
-Okay, I see that the balls turned gold.
I see that the Plus sign turned gold,
but I didn't actually see you hit the Plus sign.
-Not at all.
-So you actually did not hit the Plus,
so we're going to turn the balls white again,
and they will just count as their regular amounts.
You said West. The correct answer was East.
-Oh! -I'm so sorry.
So it's very good that you actually did not
that hit the Plus sign.
That takes your total back down to $4,909.
-It's alright. We got this.
-Time for question three of Free Fall.
And here it comes.
-Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny.
Let's go, let's go!
[ Cheering ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Let's go!
-This time you did hit the Plus sign!
-This time, we hit it.
-This would be worth $90,000 if you're correct,
which of course, you are!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You have skyrocketed your total back up to $94,911.
And this time brilliantly played with the Plus.
Alright, here's a question for Free Fall.
-Delight, Delight, Delight.
Come on, let's go! Big money, big money!
Come on, come on.
-Get over to the side!
-$25,000!
-I was feeling good about that one.
-Of course, it was Sunny Delight.
-She was saying it the whole time in my ear.
She knew it! She knew it.
Back when I was growing up in the 1900s,
we didn't have to abbreviate it.
It was Sunny Delight!
$129,912.
-This is the last question of Free Fall.
-B, B, B, B. Jeremiah. -Come on, Jeremiah.
-Come on, come on!
-$5,000! $5,000. -25, come on, 25!
-Can we get another 25? Oh.
-$5,002.
-My dad used to sing that song all the time.
-Well then, you know it's
* Jeremiah was a bullfrog *
And they were very good friends, apparently.
Very good friends.
Your total on the Wall right now, $134,914.
This is a great place to start, because later on,
it's going to be a very difficult choice.
You can keep guaranteed money, which you know
is based on $134,914,
plus a bonus amount for each correctly-answered question,
or you could risk it, ripping up a contract
for potentially millions of dollars on the Wall.
It is not a choice that I envy.
And for the game you decided, Yvonne,
you're going to go back behind the Wall.
What made you decide to go back into isolation?
-I hate to admit this, but I am older than my son,
so I might have a few more life experiences to draw from.
And he might hate to admit this,
but I think I'm smarter than him too.
-So...[ Laughs ] -Maybe a little bit.
-So we think that he's going to be best-suited out here
to take on the Wall. -Great.
-You both have equally important jobs,
and the next time you see each other,
you might be millionaires.
-Jakob, I can't express how lucky I am to be your mom.
You tackle everything that life throws at you head-on,
with such grace and determination.
I am so humbled by the person that you are.
So many people would do anything to meet their hero.
**
And I'm lucky enough to say...
that I raised mine.
[ Applause ]
-Yvonne, I have to take you back behind the Wall in isolation.
You'll be able to do this. You got this.
We'll be out here, cheering you on.
We'll see you in a little bit.
-Yes, take care of my boy. -I will. I will.
-Alright, it's just us now.
From this point on, your mom's not going to know
what is going on out here,
whether we're up millions or down to zero.
We're going to get through this. -I love it.
-When we come back,
the million dollar Superdrop kicks us off.
-Let's go, come on! -Yes!
-Right after the break.
You know, I brought someone else
that I wanted to bring over there to help cheer you on.
I hope that's okay. -Okay.
-A surprise guest you won't want to miss.
-We're going to open up the Wall.
**
-Welcome back to "The Wall." We're here with Jakob.
His mom, Yvonne, is back in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now is $134,914.
Before we get back into the game, Jakob,
please tell us who you brought for support over
in the VIP section. -Well, absolutely.
Holding it down for our VIP section
is my girlfriend, Samantha.
-Hello! -How you doing over there?
-I'm so happy to be here.
-You feel lonely over there in this section?
-Uh, a little bit.
-I don't know, it just feels so lonely over there that,
you know, I brought someone else
that I wanted to bring over there to help cheer you on.
I hope that's okay. -Okay.
-We're going to open up the Wall.
So I'd like to present to you
another member for your support team.
**
-Ohh!
-Lieutenant Colonel Michael Coombes
over from Germany!
-[ Crying ]
-Good job, buddy. Love you. -Good to see you.
-Yeah, I love you, too.
-We had to surprise you!
I mean, this was...
You guys hadn't seen each other.
How long has it been since you saw each other?
-It's been over a year. -A year plus, yeah.
-Oh, my God. Thank you so much for coming over.
Thank you for your service to our country.
Thank you for being this guy's dad.
You know, Yvonne still has no idea you're here.
She's not going to know you're here until the very end.
-This is great. -Yeah.
I'm so glad you are here.
Please go over there and join Sam.
We'll fill out the VIP section a little bit more.
Thank you so much.
-It's so good to meet you. -Come on!
-That's cool.
-Your head must be swimming right now.
-Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
There's too much going --
-No, this is really happening. This is real life.
And right now, we see there's $150,000 bin up there.
-That's our top value on the Wall this round,
which means it's time for the Superdrop.
We're going to take seven balls and turn them green,
and then we're going to put them in every slot.
-Here we go. -Let's load those up
with seven green balls.
Later on at the end of this round, those will all turn red.
But right now, you could earn more than $1 million in seconds.
And Superdrop it!
-Let's see it. Come on!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Get right, come on! Big money, let's get it!
Come on, over here! 150, 150!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go!
**
Yeah!
-That brings the total right now on the Wall to $409,936.
This is a great place to start.
We're going into the questions.
This is where you have a lot of control, alright?
You're going to decide
where to play the ball from, 5, 6, 7 are hovering
over larger amounts, could be a riskier play.
If you're less confident, 1, 2 or 3 are over lower amounts,
and that's going to protect the money you have.
And then later in question three,
I'm going to give the opportunity to go Wall to Wall.
I'm going to turn a ball gold.
You drop it in, seven gold balls up there.
We're going to give you the option to try for more money
than ever if you choose to do that.
-I like that.
-So here are the answers to your first question.
Where do you want to play that ball from?
-Alright, we didn't come all this way to play scared.
-Okay.
-We're going to start off strong.
We're going to play from 6.
-Okay, we're going to play from 6.
Alright. There it is, the 6.
Load it up. Send Yvonne the question.
-Okay, so I don't think that it's "to love."
Love is a strong word to use with lots of people.
So I'm between B and C.
"To peace" seems like a good thing to cheers to,
so I'm going to go with B, "to peace,"
and I'm going to lock it in.
-Alright, she says "to peace."
L'chaimliterally means "to life."
-Oh! -To life, I'm so sorry.
-That's okay. One ball over the number 6.
Go ahead and drop it.
-I see that 1, come on.
Small number.
**
Get small, get small. Let's see that 1.
There we go. Keep getting left. Get left!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey!
-$10. -Alright.
-That's okay. -That's only $10.
$409,926.
-I still like that total.
-L'chaim. L'chaim.
Here are your answers for the next question.
Okay, you can double up too, if you want.
-We're going to go ahead and double it up.
-Okay.
-I want to be a little bit on the aggressive side still,
so we're going to go from 5.
-Double up on 5, okay.
One, two. -Good luck, good luck.
-There we go. -Alright.
-Let's send Yvonne the question.
-Whoa. -Yeah, right?
-Alright, Harley-Davidson, 10-by-15 foot shed
doesn't seem like you could fit a whole lot of motorcycles.
John Deere has the riding lawn mowers.
Again, it seems a bit small.
Black & Decker is a lot of tools and stuff,
so this is what seems to make sense to me.
Jakob, oh my goodness.
If you doubled up, help us.
We're going to say C, Black and Decker,
and we're going to lock that in.
-Okay, she's locked in Black & Decker.
The correct answer was the shed behind the Milwaukee family
home of the Davidsons.
It was Harley Davidson.
-I'm so sorry. -It's okay. It's alright.
-Doubled up in 5.
-It's still early in the game, though.
We have to, unfortunately, go ahead and drop those.
-Small numbers. We're going to see it.
Double ones.
**
Get left, get left, come on!
There we go, okay!
Get left!
[ Cheering ] -Yeah! Let's go!
Alright!
-That was insane!
Oh, my gosh.
That was incredible.
-Let's go!
-You only lost 20 bucks that time.
-[ Groans ]
-That still leaves you with $409,906.
Here is your next set of answers.
Now you can play one triple up or go Wall to Wall,
where we're going to make that fancy ball gold,
and then we put seven fancy balls up there.
Wall to Wall could get you over $1.4 million,
or it could bring you down to zero.
-I do want to lean to the crowd over here.
What are we feeling? -I think we need one.
Just one. -We need one?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Reel it in a little bit.
-Ugh, I hear what he's saying, but...
-Oh there's a "but."
-There's always a "but."
-It's a gold ball.
-Well, it is, yeah, right now.
It's up to you.
-You know what? I'm going to do it.
-What? -I'm going to do it.
We're gonna go. -Alright.
-We're gonna go Wall to Wall.
-Alright, he's gonna do it.
**
Everything has turned gold.
-Come on, let's hear it! -We are in Wall to Wall.
-Come on. -Look at that. Shimmering.
This is epic!
Seven gold balls
have lined up across the top.
Let's throw it over to her.
-Okay, I know this is our third question
in the second round.
Knowing Jakob, he probably went Wall to Wall.
-She knows. She knows. She knows.
-Sahara Desert.
I know that it's in Africa.
I feel like it's too high for the equator.
-You got it. You're doing great.
It's alright.
-I'm going to say A, Tropic of Cancer.
Let's do this. Lock it in.
-Okay. She's locked in A.
If she's right,
this was obviously a very good play.
If she's wrong, it could wipe you out.
Approximately 23 degrees north of the equator is...
the Tropic of Cancer!
-Boom!
-The correct answer!
You absolutely did the right thing.
That was a great play.
Let's see if we can add $1 million to your total right now.
Let's go ahead and drop them!
-Come on, let's see it. Get this way.
Alright, let's go, come on! Big money, come on!
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
[ Cheering ]
-Alright, we still got 205. -Let's go!
-That's going to bring your total up to $615,018.
But unfortunately, we have to do the evil Superdrop.
-Okay. -We've got to turn those red.
-I still like you. -I appreciate that.
-I won't take it personal.
-We're protecting $615,018.
Evil Superdrop!
-[ Groans ]
Alright, get low, get low!
-Come on!
-10! Get that way!
Get that way! Get over there!
Get that way!
[ Groans ]
-Okay, alright.
-It could have been worse. -Could have been worse.
That means your total at the end of round two is $425,007.
That's not bad.
This is where the money could be huge.
We're going to add the million-dollar bin
to the Wall when we come back.
-Alright, come on. Give me that million.
-And with those four free shots at it...
-Come on! -Get in there!
-...how many millions will Jakob add to their total?
-There we go. Alright.
[ Cheering ]
**
-Welcome back to "The Wall."
I'm here with Jakob, who works in DC
for the US Chamber of Commerce, helps vets find jobs.
His mom, Yvonne, is back in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now is $425,007.
And that's just the beginning, because the million dollar bin
is up there. -Alright!
-We start this round with four green balls.
I'm going to give you four free shots at a million.
But remember, wherever you do that,
it's going to be bookended on this round
with four red balls dropping from the same spots.
-Understood.
-And those three questions in the middle,
they can sway the odds for or against you.
So where do you want to play your first green ball?
-From 6. -6, alright.
Drop that in there.
There it goes. Okay.
6, hovering not too far from a million.
So let's see if we can get you up to $1.4 million.
Let's drop it!
[ Cheering ]
-Come on. Come on.
**
Get right, get right! Get that way!
Wrong way, ball. Get that way!
-Going the wrong way. -What are you doing?
-[ Groans ]
-It's all good. It's all good. It's all good.
-It's still money. -Still money. It's positive.
-$445,017. -Alright, alright.
-Where do you want to play the second one?
-We're going to keep it on that right side.
Playing a little aggressive here.
I want to play this one from 7.
-7, alright.
**
-My grandfather, he passed almost two years ago.
He was somebody that put a smile on everybody's face.
He was known as a little bit of a risk-taker.
He loved himself some casinos.
He loved those old-school slot machines, 777.
-Alright. -I know he's watching over us.
We'll see if we can get that million-dollar bin.
-Alright, let's hope it's lucky 7 this time.
This could take you over $1.4 million.
Drop it! -Come on, 7!
Let's see it. Come on, Wall.
Come on.
Get right, let's get it. Come on. Give me that million.
No, get that way!
Come on, get back to the right.
Get to the side.
-300!
-Alright!
-Your grandfather would have been very happy.
$3,000 is nice.
You now have a total on the Wall of $725,017.
Where do you want to play the third ball?
-We're actually going to play this third ball from 3.
-Okay, go ahead and put that in there.
Why'd you choose three?
-The whole reason why we want to play this from 3
is actually because of that man over there.
It was his favorite number,
and every time that he was deployed
and I was growing up playing sports,
I always tried to get the number 3 for my jersey.
It made me feel close and attached to him.
So that has always been my connection with him.
It made me feel like he was there with me
in any sport that I was playing. -Alright.
If you can just throw some energy onto that --
-Some good energy. -Bring it to the million.
-This is gonna work out.
-I think you should tell the ball to drop.
-Hey, drop it. -There you go.
"Why don't you just drop it?"
-Just drop it.
-This could take you over $1.7 million.
**
-Get right, get right. There we go.
That's a good start. Get right, get right!
Come on, get back to the side.
Off to the side. There we go.
There we go. That's a good kick. Alright. Come on!
[ Cheering ]
Another good drop.
-That's all you. That's you!
-It's mine. It's all mine. -$200,000.
Well, you're close to a million now.
You're just underneath it, $925,017.
[ Applause ]
Alright, one green ball left. Where do you want to play?
-I'm going to play this one from 4.
-Okay.
-Let's drop that in there. Why 4?
-So I've got a younger brother who is actually in high school,
so he couldn't be here with us. He's got class.
-Sure, of course. Yeah.
-There he is. So that's Jackson.
And really the four of us,
no matter where the Army sent us,
I knew, each of us knew that we had each other's back.
-Fantastic. Alright.
This is for Jackson, number 4.
-Come on, Jackson.
-This could take you over $1.9 million.
Drop it! -Come on, Jackson.
Let's see what you got.
Alright. Come on, ball. Let's get right.
Come on, Jackson! Let's see it. Get right.
There we go. There we go.
Come on!
-Get in there!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Nice job!
-That's for you, Jackson. -Nice job, Jackson.
Alright, that was $400,000.
So now your total on the wall, $1,325,017.
-Holy cow.
-Now we got to get to the questions.
As you know, we're going to give you the answers.
-Alright, well, we got some boy bands up here.
My mom was in high school, that would have been in the '90s.
I feel like that's right with this demographic here.
So we're going to play this one from 5.
-5, alright.
Drop it in number 5.
Send Yvonne the question.
-Come on, come on. -Okay.
I remember this, because Jakob used
to actually sing this little jingle.
-* I want my baby back * -That's adorable.
-When it first came up, I was leaning towards NSync,
but for some reason,
Backstreet Boys are sticking out at me.
I'm going to go with A, Backstreet Boys.
We're going to lock that in.
-Okay, so it was not Boyz II Men.
It was not New Kids on the Block.
NSync was the correct answer. It was her first choice, too.
Yeah, I know! -It can be so hard back there.
You know, you have a first thought
and then you second guess it.
So you played number 5.
So hopefully, we can protect this money.
Let's go ahead and drop it.
-Let's get over here. Get this side of the board.
There we go. Get left, get left, get left.
Come on. There we go. No, get left!
To the side, stay away.
Get over there. No, no, no!
-Thank God. Oh, thank God.
That was -- -Oh, man.
-That was a bit of a nail-biter.
-Just a little bit.
-Got very lucky on that drop, which is great.
So your current total now, $1,344,917.
-Oh, my gosh, Jakob still has two questions
left in the game.
He can double up. He can triple up.
Million of dollars still up for grabs.
We don't know what's going to happen.
And remember, Yvonne still doesn't know Mike is here,
so stick around
to watch that reveal happen as well.
You're watching "The Wall" on NBC.
With a massive total on the Wall
and millions still up for grabs...
-You can triple up if you want.
-I'm sweating.
-Will this military family from Colorado
walk away millionaires?
-Left, left, left!
-Left, left, get left!
[ Groans ]
**
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Jakob.
He's got two questions left in the game.
Millions still within his reach.
Back in isolation as his mom, Yvonne,
no clue how much money is on the Wall,
doesn't know her husband is here.
There's a lot of stuff
that will be revealed later in the game.
Their current total on the wall is $1,324,917.
Here are the answers for your next question.
-Alright. -Second question.
You can double up.
Doubling up can get you to $3.3 million if it works out,
or it could take you down to zero.
-I'm not going to double up. -Okay.
Not going to double up. That's important.
-We're going to go ahead and play it from 3.
-Okay, number 3.
Send the question over to Yvonne.
-Okay, our family watches the Olympics.
We are familiar with gymnastics, and she is known for her power,
and so I feel like I'm going to go with balance beam,
because floor exercise, power, vault, power,
uneven bars, I don't know if it's necessarily power,
but it just seems like something
maybe she would have named after her.
So I'm going to go with A, balance beam.
Lock it in.
-She's locked in balance beam.
The correct answer was uneven bars.
-Uneven bars. -Almost got to it.
But you didn't double up. You didn't double up.
You played from number 3, which is a fairly safe number.
-Drop it!
-Let's see that low number. Give me a 1.
Get left, get left, get left.
Get left!
You're doing the opposite of what I've been saying!
-What are you doing? -Get to the left!
-What are you doing?
-No, no, no!
[ Cheers ]
Oh, man.
-My head is just racing,
what am I gonna say to this guy if it goes in the million?
But thankfully, we didn't have to worry about that.
You only lost $10.
$1,324,907 is your total right now.
Here is your last set of answers.
-Wow, alright, well...
-You can triple up.
-We can triple up. Um...
-Tripling up could get you to over $4.3 million,
or it could bring you down to zero.
-Oh, we're not tripling it up.
We're just going to play the one from 2,
and we'll see what she can do here.
-Okay.
-I think this is a very good play.
You're protecting. -Right.
-It's $1.3.
We still might be able to add $1 million
to the Wall if she gets this right.
Let's send her the question. -Come on.
-You got this. Come on, work through it.
-I honestly don't even know
where to begin thinking about this.
I'm not even going to kid you here.
-It's alright.
-I mean, it's not even one of those things I can say.
"I should have paid more attention in school,"
because I don't think they would have told me
what 27 Eiffel Towers was.
Um...
I'm going to go with B, 23 Taj Mahals,
and I'm going to lock that in.
-Alright, alright. -I'm sorry, buddy. I love you.
-I love you, too. You've done amazing.
-Alright, so the tallest building in there
is the Empire State Building.
It's just 444 meters tall,
but it's 27 Eiffel Towers.
It's 27 Eiffel Towers.
Eiffel Tower is 330 meters tall.
27 of them, 8,910 meters.
-It's okay. -But you played very safely,
and we'll cross our fingers and drop it!
-We need it to stay on this side of the wall.
Please stay over here.
Stay over here.
**
Be nice, please. Stay left, stay left.
Stay left, no!
Not right, get left! Stay left, there you go!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-You're going to be okay.
You're going gonna be okay.
Okay, that's 100.
-It wasn't a million, though. -It wasn't a million.
I like that. -It wasn't a million.
-You still have on the Wall, $1,224,907.
Alright, we made it through the questions.
We don't even need these anymore,
because it's deliberation time.
Yvonne has a very difficult choice to make back there.
This is guaranteed money,
versus whatever she thinks is left on the Wall.
She has no way of knowing how much that is.
This right here is a tube and inside is a contract.
Everyone who plays this game has a chance to leave
with guaranteed money.
So let's talk about what that is for you.
Your Free Fall amount was $134,914.
Yvonne got one question right, that's 20 grand for that,
which means you're guaranteed, if she signs it,
$154,914.
It's a lot of money. -That's a lot of money.
-If she tears it up, you'll be leaving
with whatever is left on the wall,
which right now is $1.2 mil.
-Which is a lotof money. -That's a lot of money.
Alright, well, we're going to bring her up on the Wall,
and she can't hear us and she can't see us.
But just speak to her, tell her what you're feeling right now,
and I'm going to go send her the contract.
-Mom, you've done amazing. Amazing.
I know that this has been a tough, tough night for you.
We have a lot of money on this Wall.
I know it's a tough decision,
but I think the right choice is to rip up that contract.
Let's see what we can go home with.
Let's test our luck. Let's see what we've got.
I love you. I know that you're going to make the best choice
possible back there.
Best of luck, Mom. I love you.
**
-There it goes.
-Look at that thing go.
-She now has the contract.
Everything is in her hands.
We're going to have to cut off her feed.
This decision is going to be made in private.
We're not going to know what she did until the end of the show.
**
-We came in with just under $135,000.
There were a couple of questions that I felt "meh" about,
so maybe a $175,000, maybe, or right around that,
which is a lot of money.
I mean, we could put some money into
Operation Deploy Your Dress,
maybe go to Europe and spend Christmas together as a family.
But then I also have my dad in the back of my head saying,
"Go for it, go for it. Tear it up and go for it."
I mean, there could be so much more money left on the Wall.
I just...
**
Mm.
I just don't know what to do.
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Jakob.
There's $1,224,907 on the Wall.
We're just waiting for Yvonne to make her decision.
-Mm-hmm.
-I--I don't know,
because coming out of Free Fall, the number that you had,
it's like, it was a lot of money.
But was it enough for her to go, rip the contract?
What do you think?
-Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.
That's been my mom my whole life.
Your guess is as good as mine. [ Beeping ]
-There it is.
Well, whatever she did, she did it.
-She did it. -Because there it is.
It's in that canister right there.
The decision has been made, and then there's this --
this one last part of the game that we have to do,
which, we have to drop four red balls from where
you put the four green balls earlier in the round.
We're just going to cross our fingers and hope for the best.
The first number you chose was 6.
-6. -Yep.
We've got to put it in the number 6.
How are you feeling about 6?
-I need this ball to be good to me.
-Okay. -We got to kick left.
Kick left.
I don't want it to flirt with that million at all.
-Anywhere to the left side of the Wall,
we're good. -Four 1s would be nice.
-That would be great. -Can we speak that
into existence right now?
Four 1s.
-There it goes.
Here we go. The first drop of four red balls.
Protecting $1.2 million.
-Come on, come on. -And...
Drop it!
-Come on, Wall. Come on, Wall.
**
Get left, get left, get left, get left!
There you go. There you go. Get left, left!
Left, left, left, left, left! -Right is not good.
Get over there, get left! Get to the side!
Get that way! Get that way!
That way, that way --
[ Groans ]
**
-It's okay.
-It's not the worst one, but the second-worst one.
-Yeah. [ Laughs ] -$500,000.
-Man!
-That's gonna take a bit of a bite out.
$724,907.
-We still got a lot to play with, though.
-We still got a lot to play with.
The second number you chose was 7.
-7. -Alright.
Let's drop that in there.
**
So this is the most stressful one that you played, so...
-The most stressful one.
-Okay, we have 724.
Drop it!
-Come on, Wall. Come on, Wall. Be good to us.
Come on. Please, please, please.
**
Come on, come on. There you go, left.
Left, left, left, left!
-Left, left, left!
-Get left, come on!
[ Crowd screaming ]
-[ Groans ] -Oh, no.
-Oh, my God.
Oh, that hurt. That hurt.
-I'm so sorry, man.
That's just how it bounces sometimes.
There's nothing you can do about it.
So that's going to take everything you had.
You're down to 0.
But I think we can all agree, we know what we hope she did.
We hope she signed it. We just don't know.
There's a lot that's going to be discovered
when we come back from commercial.
Please join us. You're watching "The Wall" on NBC.
-Coming up...
Yvonne, come on out.
Do you know my friend Mike?
...a family reunion
more than a year and a half in the making.
-Was I back there that long?
**
-Welcome back to "The Wall."
It's time to end the suspense
and find out what Yvonne decided.
Yvonne, come on out.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Do you know my friend Mike?
I don't know if you guys know each other.
My good friend, Mike. Oh, you guys know each other.
Okay, good.
Surprise!
Surprise.
-Was I back there that long?
-You were back there a year and a half.
Yeah. Just under a year and a half.
-It's like, some time travel business
going on here or something.
-I can't believe how long y'all have been apart.
I'm so glad that you're here.
-Thank you for being here.
-Mike, please come back over here
as I talk to Yvonne.
So a lot has happened since you've been in isolation.
And before you tell us what you decided, I'm going
to bring you up to speed.
You got one question right.
I'm going to give you $20,000 toward your guarantee,
which means if you signed the contract,
it was worth $154,914.
If you tore it up,
you're risking it for everything that's left on the Wall,
which you don't know yet.
So I'm going to bring you over here with Jakob
and then Mike, come over here with me.
And I believe -- yes, there.
Yvonne, you're going to let him know
whatever you decided.
-Holy moly. That was hard.
[ Laughs ]
To say that was rough is an understatement.
**
I went back and forth a lot.
As a mom, I was trying to make the best decision
not just really, not even for me, but for you,
to help you get a good start in your young adult life.
So...
**
The decision I made was...
**
I signed the contract.
-[ Sighs ]
-Well, let me start off by saying I am
so, so, so proud of you.
You've had to be strong for so long.
You have been through so much.
This game was a lot like our lives,
a lot like every military family's life,
filled with ups and downs.
And at one point, our up was $1.2 million.
But I'm glad you signed that contract,
because at the end of the day, there were
0 left on that wall.
-You made the right decision!
You go home with $154,914!
Samantha, come on over!
Get in on this over here!
Oh, this makes me so happy.
This is good news on top of good news.
Mike's here, they're reunited.
Whatever would have happened,
I'm going to say they already won.
But I'm also glad they're going home with $154,000.
Thank you so much for watching "The Wall" tonight.
I hope this made your day a little bit better.
We'll see you next time.
$154,914!
