PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on Tough As Nails...
SCOTT: Get the rest of those off the trailer and go back!
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew had a communication breakdown...
-That's not a head start. -SWIFTY: It wasn't a team call.
It wasn't something that we discussed together.
Go start the truck!
KEOGHAN: ...giving Dirty Hands the chance
-to tie up the team score... -Shoot.
-KEOGHAN: ...two-two. -ZEUS: Dirty, Dirty!
ALL: Hands!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands get the win!
I wasn't a good teammate today.
KEOGHAN: In the individual competition...
PATRICK: Angel, get up towards them.
KEOGHAN: ...partners Freight Train and Angel failed
to count their sheep...
...and had to hammer it out in overtime.
-MERRYL: Good job, Angel. -God, man!
KEOGHAN: In an emotional head-to-head battle,
Freight Train had luck on his side,
nailing a win and kicking Angel out of the competition.
I know how much he needs this.
Angel's been through a lot, you know, and I respect him.
ANGEL: I want to give my son everything I never had, you know?
I know what it's like to show up to school
and you've been wearing the same pants for, like, six months.
Just $2,400 makes a difference in my life, you know?
So I'm not going home empty-handed.
KEOGHAN: Tonight, both teams take to the field
-for a major league challenge. -SCOTT: Go, go, go.
-Keep going! -KEOGHAN: With Angel out of
the individual competition,
Dirty Hands are even more determined to score another win.
We got to win this for Angel.
KEOGHAN: It's a sprint
to see who has what it takes
to keep their seat in the individual competition...
-Stupid. -...and who can sit out overtime.
[crying]: Come on, Iraida.
Come on. Don't do this.
♪
Man, how's everybody feeling?
-Excited. -Good. I'm excited.
Did you bring your tips today, Angel?
No, no tips, peroI'm on some serious note, though.
I'm-I'm on a serious, serious note.
'Cause, like, now that I'm in elimination,
-like, this is all you have left. -Mm-hmm.
ANGEL: Like, literally, this is all you have left.
ZEUS: Angel punched out.
He's a really good guy.
I've never seen somebody with so much drive.
He's everything that you want in a worker, you know?
He has great work ethic.
He's humble. He has a great attitude.
So, coming into this competition today, it motivates us more.
It's like, we got to win this for Angel,
because Angel has an amazing story
and, you know, he's, uh...
Sorry.
We have to work harder now for-for you, Angel,
now to get you this money, so...
ANGEL: I didn't picture myself
punching out this early,
but I just try to focus on my team.
I know that there's more money to be made,
so losing's not an option for us
because, being in this position, that's all you have.
MERRYL: Today, even if it's a very physical challenge,
I th-- I don't know-- I feel really good.
It's like Swifty said, we know our strength.
-It's when we plan and we execute... -CELI: And talk it out.
And we actually do it.
SCOTT: We need to make up for
our last team challenge that we lost.
I'm gonna take full responsibility of that one.
That one was on me.
Sometimes, you know,
my supervising self comes out,
and when we have a crew boss selected,
I need to step back
and remember my role.
I was so frustrated.
I-I was even like, "Merryl, why we going this way?"
[laughter]
-"We got to go that way!" -You were. You were mad.
I was yelling at everybody.
It's okay. I didn't take it personal.
Thank you. Sorry.
♪
LIZ: This is nice.
-IRAIDA: Oh, I've never been in one of these. -This is so cool.
-IRAIDA: This is so cool. -Oh, my God.
-IRAIDA: Wow. -LIZ: Yeah!
-IRAIDA: We're in a stadium. -ZEUS: Let's go!
ZEUS: I'm at home. I played, you know,
football, soccer, lacrosse.
So, walking into this stadium, I see every crowd
that I ever seen from
when I played in elementary all the way to college.
-Game day! -[laughing]
CELI: I wanted to be a professional cheerleader,
and I tried out for a few football teams.
-Don't pull a hamstring. -Whew!
I'm getting flashbacks. I'm getting traumatized
since I didn't make the team, but it's okay
because I made Tough As Nails and I'm tough.
KEOGHAN: Welcome to the heart of Los Angeles,
home to the LAFC, the Los Angeles Football Club.
This is one of Major League Soccer's most prized stadiums.
[crowd cheering]
♪
Beautiful, isn't it? Take a look around.
-CELI: Awesome. -SWIFTY: Yeah, it's beautiful.
KEOGHAN: Today, you're gonna get an appreciation
for what it takes to keep
a beautiful stadium like this functioning.
It takes the workers here 28 hours to transform
this field from a soccer field into a concert venue,
and another 28 hours to put it back again.
PATRICK: Wow.
KEOGHAN: You're standing on some plastic tiles
that were the floor for a concert.
There was a major concert here,
so I told the crew that they could
leave a little bit of the job for you guys to finish off,
and there's still quite a bit of work to get done.
Each team is responsible for
getting this stadium back ready for a soccer match.
When the work whistle blows,
you have to pick these interlocking tiles up.
There are 90 of them on each side of the field.
Carry them and put them on the pallets over there.
The other thing you have to do is
you have to install the soccer goals.
They're heavy.
Then you need to paint out the lines
on the soccer field, plant two corner flags.
The first team to complete the job will win $12,000.
-LIZ: $12,000. -[cheering]
$2,400 each and...
today's Badge of Honor.
Team score stands at two apiece
going into your fifth team challenge.
-You ready to get the job done? -CONTESTANTS: Yeah!
KEOGHAN: Let's get to work!
-Crew boss. -[Dirty Hands chattering]
SARAH: I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it.
Savage Crew, who's gonna be your crew boss today?
-I am. -It's gonna be Sarah.
Dirty Hands, who's your crew boss today?
-I am. -OTHERS: Patrick.
PATRICK: I have a lot of experience with concerts and staging.
I worked security for Christian music festivals
for over 15 years.
We build the stage. We build all the fencing.
So it's from the ground up.
Make sure you take off two panels at once.
When we're one mind, we can't be stopped.
LIZ: I think Zeus and Freight Train
should lay the string, 'cause you guys are, like, calm.
Iraida, you're unlocking. We're running with them.
They're heavy, but we can slide them at first.
It's two keys. Two people have the key.
The third person is stacking them.
Get the lines in. I'll start painting.
Start unlocking when the lines are in.
We're coming off of a frustrating loss,
so today we need to bring it.
It's important for us to stay as a group
because that's when we do really well.
KEOGHAN: Ready to get the job done?
-Yes! -Ready! -Yeah!
KEOGHAN: On the work whistle!
[work whistle blows]
Both teams going for their goals first up.
SARAH: Go, go, go!
ZEUS: Go, go, go.
-SARAH: Okay, stop. Get it. -ANGEL: I got mines.
All right, Dirty Hands and Savage Crew
have their goalposts in the ground.
-SARAH: Good job, you guys. -KEOGHAN: It's neck and neck.
They're almost mirroring each other.
Hey, remember we do the two ends first.
IRAIDA: We did the goalposts first,
because it's heavy,
and then we're all gonna disperse.
-ZEUS: Yeah, get to it! -LIZ: I'm gonna
meet you guys there. I'm dropping the flag.
KEOGHAN: Knuckles placing one of their two corner flags
on the ground for later.
Zeus and Freight Train staying
at the net end of the field,
preparing lines, while Knuckles,
Angel and Iraida are coming
to work on the plastic tiles.
Get the lines done!
KEOGHAN: Sarah starting to paint
as the rest of Savage Crew
start to string out their lines.
SARAH: Coming into the challenge,
I knew the lines were gonna take a little while,
because you have to be meticulous about it.
So we decide
I can start on the one freehand curve
while I'm waiting for some of the lines to be drawn out.
I've actually done lines on a football field before
back in high school, 20-some-thousand years ago.
Different strategies.
Dirty Hands dividing up the jobs.
Savage Crew have decided
to start painting lines, sticking together
on the same task as a team.
They have not started on the plastic tiles.
ANGEL: I got one.
Oh, it's locked.
IRAIDA: Hold on. Let it go, let it go!
KEOGHAN: Angel trying to pull out
-a tile that's still locked. -Let go. No.
Let it go, Angel.
ANGEL: I'm used to carrying plywood,
and I'm talking about pallets of plywood.
Angel impatient. He wants to get going.
ANGEL: Every time I go into work,
I move at a fast pace, so, for me,
this is just another day at a job.
SCOTT: What else needs done?
If you're done, go start unlocking.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew finally getting going
with their plastic tiles.
Dirty Hands have already removed six.
ANGEL: Two at a time.
-MERRYL: Huh? Up here, Celi. -CELI: Here. We didn't do these.
There's a little learning curve with unlocking.
Trying to get them perpendicular,
it just takes a little bit to get in the groove of it.
-Pull it up. -Scott, go to the next one. Go to the next one.
So, there was a little frustration building,
but I don't have time to be frustrated.
[chuckles]: I just don't.
Keep going, you guys!
Keep going!
Work together!
Not those ones. Not those ones. This is a...
-These need to go together. -ANGEL: Yeah...
IRAIDA: In my job as a track repairer,
we have a tool like that. It's called a cam wrench.
It kind of has the same system where you have
to see what side is unlocking and what side is locked.
You don't want to go the wrong way.
-Shoot, man. Okay, go. -LIZ: It's okay. We'll get this.
-Okay. -KEOGHAN: Here comes Zeus
sprinting across the field
to help out Dirty Hands.
Each team now has four people working on their tiles.
SCOTT: That one is not unlocked.
And there's... And there's two right there.
What are we doing?
KEOGHAN: As soon as Sarah and Freight Train
finish painting their lines,
they can help out their team with the tiles.
Let's go, Pat! You got it!
ZEUS: We chose Freight Train to paint the lines
because it is
a precision job,
and he stays cool under pressure.
KEOGHAN: Freight Train is moving along
like he's using a walker to hold himself up.
ZEUS: Freight Train, hurry it up!
KEOGHAN: While Sarah is practically jogging.
As slow as Freight Train is,
Dirty Hands are still ahead by eight tiles.
ZEUS: Angel, you want a break, bro?
ANGEL: No, not at all. I...
On the contrary, feed me!
-[Zeus whooping] -I need more food! I'm hungry!
I need more food!
-ZEUS: Feed him! -ANGEL: I started seeing
that the other team was starting to catch up.
By the time
I'm coming back, I should already have some set.
If you don't want to lose, keep feeding me.
I'm hungry.
KEOGHAN: I have never seen a man move so slowly
painting a line.
ANGEL: Freight Train, move it!
PATRICK: Yeah, I was taking my time.
It's a professional soccer field. When you go fast,
you make mistakes.
When you go fast, you get hurt in my job.
So, it's just stay calm.
Stay steady. Stay consistent.
ZEUS: Sarah's beating you, bro.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands 12 tiles ahead,
but Savage Crew have painted more lines.
SCOTT: These two are unlocked, and they should be locked up!
My goodness!
-SWIFTY: All right, I got it. -MERRYL: Celi unlocked it by accident.
MERRYL: That's why she said-- it's okay. It's okay.
[grumbles] Golly. The simplest job.
CELI: Scott is getting frustrated.
Working under pressure and being a nurse,
you have to keep everything in control.
If we're all running around and it's chaotic,
you're gonna make mistakes.
Right there. Guys!
You guys, the corner!
SARAH: Keep moving, you guys.
KEOGHAN: Sarah has all her lines painted and is now
putting in the corner flags.
Freight Train moving about half Sarah's speed on the lines.
[wheel squeaks]
Sarah now moving back to the center of the field
so she can help her team move those tiles.
Five against four on the tiles.
-SCOTT: Hey! -CELI: Come on.
-Pick it up. Scott. -I'm locked up again right here.
You can't just pick it up!
-SWIFTY: Sit it down, sit it down. -CELI: Calm down, Scott.
No, we've got to get that-- we got to get that in order.
SCOTT: On a jobsite leading my own crew,
I want things done a certain way.
I can be hotheaded when it's necessary.
And the re-explaining over and over how to unlock the tiles,
it's getting frustrating.
ANGEL: Freight Train, hurry up, man!
PATRICK: I don't want to go too fast and then look back
and realize I forgot a line.
Guys, just let me do my job.
I'll get it done and then I'll come over and help.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands completed one row.
That's 30 tiles on the pallet.
They've got 60 more to go.
SARAH: Let's go!
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew are catching up because they have
five workers going against four.
ANGEL: Freight Train, hurry up!
KEOGHAN: But Freight Train is still literally
on the sideline, and still squeaking.
ANGEL: Come on, Freight Train!
ANGEL: Come on, Freight Train! Freight Train, hurry up!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands are one worker down.
Freight Train's realized he's got to step it up.
He's literally going twice as fast as he was before.
ANGEL: Freight Train, come on, man!
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew finishing their first
of three rows of tiles.
SARAH: Come on, Scott!
SCOTT: Normally, Sarah
is a silent assassin, and today she's not to be messed with.
SARAH: Go, you guys! Go, Celi!
KEOGHAN: There's only six tiles separating the two teams.
Somehow, Dirty Hands has managed to stay ahead
with just four people working on the tiles
while Freight Train continues painting lines.
ZEUS: Let's go, Pat. You got it.
KEOGHAN: Second corner flag still on the ground.
Dirty Hands need to remember to put it back in
to get the job done.
Freight Train finishing up with the last part of his line
and then he can help his team.
ZEUS: Freight, get down here and unlock!
This is it. Let's go. This is where we sprint.
This is just one small portion of this field.
Can you imagine what it would be like to do the whole field?
-ZEUS: Let's go, push! -LIZ: You're skipping the next...
-ANGEL: Let's go, move! -IRAIDA: I know, I know.
I did all those. Come on, come on, come on.
PATRICK: You guys got to tell me, I haven't been here.
-Come on. Talk. Calm down. -IRAIDA: This one's done.
PATRICK: The Savage Crew was close behind and we started panicking.
So we have to calm down, just keep what we're doing,
because the challenges that we've lost
is where we get frazzled.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew and Dirty Hands separated by only eight tiles.
SARAH: Come on, you guys.
KEOGHAN: It's gonna come down to preparation
and who's unlocked the most tiles.
IRAIDA: Hey, I need this unlocked!
-PATRICK: All right, stay calm, guys. -ANGEL: I'm hungry. I'm hungry.
PATRICK: I know you're hungry, but you're making mistakes
because we're-we're trying to rush.
[panting]
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew pushed so hard to catch up.
-Looks like they're gassing out. -[sighs]
SWIFTY: I'm hot, I'm tired.
On my job, working with iron and steel,
I have to make sure that I don't overexert.
Because of the heat, I'll pass out.
I've got to pace myself so I can keep going without burning out.
LIZ: Great job, Freight Train and Iraida.
You guys got it down.
With my trade, there's a lot of endurance involved.
You know, you have huge slabs,
and often you're working 12, 14-hour days.
So I do feel like I have an advantage there.
Yeah, one, two, three. Okay.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew is starting on their third line of tiles.
They're working from the back.
ZEUS: Hey, they're right behind us.
They're doing two rows at a time.
Let's go, they're catching up.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands complete their second row of tiles.
Only one row to go.
SARAH: Go, let's go! Let's move them!
KEOGHAN: $12,000
going to the winning team.
Team score is two apiece.
ANGEL: Everything's unlocked.
SARAH: Get 'em up there, Scott.
ZEUS: Move!
-ANGEL: Hurry up! -SARAH: Come on, you guys.
Keep moving. They might have missed something.
-Let's go. -ANGEL: Let's go,
they're right behind us.
Get out the way.
Two more tiles on the field for Dirty Hands.
SARAH: Come on, you guys. Let's move!
Stop walking. Let's go!
PATRICK: That pole, that pole!
Fast runner, pole in the end!
SARAH: They missed something. Let's go!
[panting]
KEOGHAN: Zeus picks up the flag.
Savage Crew's still going. It ain't over.
IRAIDA: Come on, guys.
SARAH: Keep going, you guys.
Keep going!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands get the win.
-[cheering, applause] -Oh, my God.
For you. All for you.
ANGEL: You think I was gonna lose today
at this field, man? You crazy, man.
I felt like I was like, what's that called,
gladiator and stuff, like, you know?
Yeah, bro.
SARAH: We give up.
We see they're ahead and we give up.
-I kept-- we all kept going. -I saw it in the last challenge, too.
We got to go all the way to the end.
I'm definitely frustrated.
We've lost two in a row now, and so today
we wanted to bring it and we got beat again.
Next time, we're gonna have to bring that intensity up
a little bit higher,
and we're gonna have to keep intensity throughout
the whole competition.
Not putter out, but keep it
throughout the whole competition.
KEOGHAN: Scott, you're looking down at the ground.
-What's going through your mind? -SCOTT: Don't like losing.
That was a hard one.
There was times where you're just sitting there
waiting for things to be unlocked and that's just...
really simple things that were overlooked.
You know, we're three females, two males,
and we just got to go.
I mean, we're a little bit older, but we still got to go.
LIZ: I-I understand you saying, like,
you're three females and two males,
but also, it was Angel and I
that-that had the speed and got the advantage.
My strength, Iraida's strength, helped hugely
to give us our advantage.
So for Sarah to say that felt like
it was really discrediting our team and our strengths,
and invalidating our win.
KEOGHAN: All right. Proud of all of you,
but today Dirty Hands get the win.
-Crew boss Freight Train, I got some money for you. -[applause]
[indistinct chatter]
KEOGHAN: $12,000. You did say that you were gonna do this for Angel.
-Yes. -Oh, my God.
-Angel... -KEOGHAN: And today's Badge of Honor.
-Freight Train, well done. -Great job.
IRAIDA: Yes.
KEOGHAN: Team score now
three to two, to Dirty Hands.
There's still lots of cash to be won,
and you want to keep your foot on the gas
all the way to the end 'cause every win counts.
There is that big bonus of $60,000.
$12,000 going to each team member of the winning team.
I know you all want it.
Going back to the individual competition.
It's gonna get gnarly.
Gonna get competitive.
LIZ: From now on out, I want to be first.
I want to be up there just to prove
that Zeus doesn't have an advantage over me
because he's a man,
and Swifty doesn't have an advantage over me
because he's a man.
I would love to win individual competition as a woman.
Get some rest.
SARAH: Thank you, guys.
We'll get 'em next time.
♪
MERRYL: How did everyone sleep?
I got up, like, at 3:00 and couldn't get back to sleep.
-Whoa. -I shouldn't have said
they had more males.
It came out wrong, and... and I feel stupid saying it.
I had mentioned something about, you know,
us being down a guy.
You know, I am a female. It's not like I don't think
females can do anything, because that's what I'm here for:
to show that females cando anything.
I am sure I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth.
I've already done it, like, eight times.
[laughter]
LIZ: I've been looking up to Sarah since day one
because she's inspiring.
So to have a woman say that,
it just... it stung.
-SARAH: You feeling okay? -LIZ: Yeah. I don't know.
I want to get a chance to talk to Sarah
and have her explain what she meant.
I deal with men doubting
women's abilities on the jobsite,
you know, all the time, like, pretty frequently.
Just, in my head, I heard,
"We lost 'cause we have three women."
Hearing it coming from a woman, and a woman that, like,
I respect you so much, it just really, like,
it bummed me out.
It definitely came out wrong.
As soon as I said it, I knew it came out wrong,
and I was like, "Ugh."
I've always had respect for you,
and I'm the same way, like, I work in a field
that-- I don't see any women welders out there.
You know, I barely see any women
that's even at the construction site.
You probably have guys that just follow you around, saying stuff
-here and there... -"Hey, can I carry that ladder for you?"
-"Can I...? "No, I got it." -Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, "No,
-I mean, I've got it." -LIZ: I got into construction
a little bit later.
I went to college, and after I graduated
I was working in coffee shops and trying to figure out,
you know, how I was gonna make a living
and I found the cement masons, and...
getting my union job changed my life.
It gave me that living wage,
it gave me the benefits I was looking for.
It put me in a position where I was comfortable
to start a family.
We just need to keep changing the culture,
changing how it looks
so that, you know, little girls walking by jobsites,
-"Oh," you know? -Yeah.
"There's-there's a woman in a hard hat." Like...
-Yeah, that's right. -I'm super glad that I got
a chance to at least clear the air some.
-You're gonna kill it. -Oh, yeah?
Let's be in the top three together.
-SARAH: That's right. -[chuckles]: Yeah.
♪
SCOTT: Back at it.
LIZ: I really want to throw a frisbee across this field.
SWIFTY: Today is a new day.
It's individual day, and I want to stay in the running
for the grand prize of $200,000.
With that type of money, I could really help
a lot of people in my family.
My daughter was supposed to go to college,
and I wasn't able to send her.
That was one of the toughest times as a father.
You know, I-I need to set things up
so that that never happens again.
I'm going, I'm giving it everything I got,
and the chips are gonna fall where they fall.
-Good morning, everyone. -ALL: Good morning, Phil.
Welcome back to the LAFC, the Los Angeles Football Club.
We're gonna kick off with the individual competition.
Angel, since you've punched out, you'll be with me today.
Well, if you take a look around you here,
you'll see that there are 22,000 seats.
And after an event or a game,
sometimes some of those seats get broken.
You'll see that there are some gaps in the seating.
Your job today is to replace the missing seats.
SCOTT: I took yesterday's loss kind of hard.
But going into individuals, this competition sounds like
it's right in my wheelhouse.
I'm really good with tools.
I just have to give it everything that I have.
KEOGHAN: When the work whistle blows,
race up into the stands and find
a workstation at the top of one of the nine sections.
First come, first served.
Follow all the instructions carefully.
All the tools you need to build your seats are laid out
at the workstations.
You need to build seven seats
and then install them in the correct spot.
Pay careful attention to the seat numbers.
Remember: the last two of you
to get the job done will be going into overtime,
and by the end of the day,
one more of you will be punching out,
losing your shot at the $200,000
and that all-new Ford F-150 truck.
-[Celi laughing] -Are you guys fired up
-to get this job done? -[cheers, applause]
Yeah! [laughs]
KEOGHAN: Go to the far end of the field.
Wait for the work whistle.
Angel, you're with me.
-Let's get to work. -[work whistle blows]
[panting]
KEOGHAN: [whoops] Swifty is ahead of Zeus!
On an injured foot!
How is he doing that?
[breathing heavily]
ZEUS: Phil is letting us choose our own section.
My strategy
is to get there first, before anybody else does,
so I can start assembling as fast as I can.
KEOGHAN: First come, first serve, on the workstations.
-[grunting] -ZEUS: Aah!
KEOGHAN: Oh, and Zeus goes down.
Everyone sprinting to get to
the closest station so they can get to work sooner.
I'm good.
I'm a little bit worried for Knuckles.
It's kind of like how I got in my challenge.
It was really, really simple,
but I made it much more than it was.
[groans]
Everybody getting their chairs built.
They each have to build seven,
then take them down
into the stands and put them in the correct spots.
[whispers] This is the chair...
LIZ: This challenge is just very, very
technical, so I'm nervous.
I don't use tools a lot in my work. I use trowels.
I'm, like, literally using my body as my tool.
Let's see...
Remember, the last two today
going into overtime.
IRAIDA: Relax.
Calmate.[speaks Spanish]
There you go.
LIZ: The first step is taking
the bottom of the chair and adding
the weight onto it.
What the ... ?
Stupid.
Then I get to part B,
and I mess up on part B.
Oh, my. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
You got these two things that hook into the seat,
and every time I tried to screw it in,
it wasn't hooking in right.
So I need to take a deep breath.
I figured out how to hook it in and then it was
just muscle memory. Just... [imitates drill]
PATRICK: And then you're moving on to the arms
and that's another bit.
So my process is just to do every process
slow and steady
and just keep everything moving.
CELI: Being a nurse,
I'm very good with following instructions,
'cause if you miss any steps,
that's when you make a medication error,
and that's when you could harm your patient.
What is this?
But... I don't always work with tools.
I've worked with a power drill before,
but interlocking and changing them?
You know, that's new for me.
KEOGHAN: This is not about strength, this challenge.
This is about attention to detail.
SCOTT: I love building things.
I assemble all kinds of furniture for my wife, and--
It's high-stakes LEGOS!
Give me a big package of LEGOS
and say, "Put this together."
Cool. I got it.
MERRYL: I think I'm pretty good
with an impact drill.
You know, even though I flew planes,
when I had downtime
I loved to get with the maintenance guys,
because seeing the little parts and pieces
helped me understand
how the aircraft would function better.
See how much faster I'm getting after the third or fourth one?
KEOGHAN: Celi with her first chair.
If she assembles them at the top
and runs them back and forth like this,
she will be doing a lot of running up and down.
KEOGHAN: Zeus and Scott
both finished assembling their seven chairs,
and now they've got to put them in place.
ZEUS: All my chairs are done.
So now I need to look where to put the seat.
Because every seat is numbered,
and you've got to figure out which row it's in
and what seat it is.
KEOGHAN: Scott testing the seat.
Looks like it's good to go.
-ZEUS: One done. -KEOGHAN: One done for Zeus.
-Zeus is going back for his second seat. -ANGEL: Good job, Scott!
Good job, Zeus!
Can anybody else catch up?
By the end of the day, one of you will be punching out.
All right, last one.
-KEOGHAN: A lot at stake here. -There you go.
KEOGHAN: And... Merryl into the stands, along with Sarah,
who's starting to bring chairs down.
Freight Train coming down with his seats.
Now everybody's getting going.
[sighs] I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[groans]
Putting the armrest on
was probably the simplest step.
I don't even see this on this thing.
I didn't stop and think. [chuckles]
I tried to muscle through.
I just hope that I can still catch up.
Knuckles, I need to see you. Start moving.
KEOGHAN: Everybody fighting furiously
-to install their seats. -Twenty-four...
KEOGHAN: But it's Scott and Zeus
who are battling it out for first.
Scott getting his seventh and last seat in place.
Zeus down to one more seat, and he's got the job done.
Gonna be a tight race to the finish.
ZEUS: As strong as Scott is, he can make a mistake,
and that's what I'm hoping for right now.
Hey...
[groans, inhales sharply]
My tip fell out.
KEOGHAN: Scott fumbling and Zeus looking for the win.
Aha, I found it! Found it!
Ah, Scott finds the drill bit.
Let's go. Let's go.
KEOGHAN: Scott checking his seventh and final seat.
Zeus checking his last seat.
It's a race to see
who can get back to their workstation first.
Thumbs up for Scott, gets the job done.
[Scott whoops]
Zeus, you got the job done.
-Come on down and join Angel... -[whoops]
...and Scott on the field.
I hope they notice that I'm a threat.
I want to make my dad proud and show him,
"Look what I've-- look what you've taught me,"
and... and it's just, it's-it's a good feeling.
You put them all together up top first?
-Yes. -Yes, that's...
You had to do it that way.
KEOGHAN: This is when it matters.
Chair.
Double-time it.
Okay, now I've got to go down there.
You do not want to go into overtime.
By the end of the day,
one of you will be punching out.
Liz finally carrying down her first seat.
Meanwhile, Sarah, checking her last seat.
Yeah, Sarah!
KEOGHAN: Sarah got the job done.
SCOTT: Good job, Freight Train! [whoops]
KEOGHAN: Freight Train, Merryl, you got the job done.
MERRYL: During this competition,
I was pacing myself,
and you have to know when to push it hard
or when to-to throttle back.
Who says pilots can't use tools?
Maintenance guys say,
"It takes a high school education to... to fix it,
and a college education to break it."
-I fixed stuff today. -Nice job.
MERRYL: I'm playing the long game.
Like a U-2, just be quiet, loiter...
leave the area
with $200,000.
[chuckles] That's all I'm trying to do.
Swifty, you get the job done.
SCOTT: Good job, Swifty!
KEOGHAN: We are down to three:
Knuckles, Iraida and Celi,
desperate to stay out of overtime.
SARAH: Let's go, Knuckles!
CELI: I do not want to lose this one
at all.
So I'm not going to give up.
For anyone that thought,
"What's this little nurse doing here?"
You see it.
Come on, Iraida, focus.
You've got this, girl.
When I'm on the job and I start getting tired,
I start talking to myself.
People always doubt you, but you're a badass.
It motivates me a lot,
and that's what keeps my adrenaline rushing.
19, where's 19?
17, 18, 19... 19!
Nineteen.
Nineteen...
[breathing heavily]
Don't tell me I put it in the wrong ... seat.
19, yup.
Yup, yup, yup.
I'm finally on my last chair,
and then I notice the numbers are not matching up.
I have a wrong chair in the wrong spot,
and I'm going to have to remove it
and then put the correct number in,
and that's gonna take me some time.
This is a huge mistake.
Oh, come on, Iraida. Come on. Don't do this.
IRAIDA: 19. Don't tell me
I put it in the wrong seat. Yup, yup, yup.
KEOGHAN: We are down to three: Iraida, Knuckles and Celi.
Remember, the last two of you
to install your chairs will be going into overtime.
IRAIDA: Can't be in the bottom two. I refuse!
Come on...
SARAH: Let's go, Knuckles!
Twenty-one.
KEOGHAN: Iraida has finished,
-and that is it, guys. -ANGEL: Good job, Iraida!
[Zeus whoops]
Thank you, I got it!
CELI: I did my best, and that's all I could do.
I just got to do my best in overtime.
I know that
Knuckles is very strong, but I've shown
that I can keep up with everyone in this competition.
LIZ: I mean, I was my own biggest enemy
in this challenge. I have no one else to blame but myself.
KEOGHAN: I realize that this is tough.
This does mean that you have
a second chance, going into overtime.
-The good news is... -CELI: Buckle up!
...one of you will survive.
It's not over yet,
but by the end of the day one of you will be punching out.
But your team's got your backs, right?
[indistinct agreement]
All right. We'll see you in overtime.
♪
MERRYL: Hey, how are you feeling?
I did good. It wa-- it wasn't...
it wasn't the technique. I had that down.
I'm so honored to have Merryl on my team.
Merryl is just so inspiring,
and I love her.
She really makes me feel
like I'm at home.
I think you're phenomenal. I think,
you know, people are now sitting up and taking notice,
you know, that you're coming out here and you're rocking it.
Whatever that OT is, be open to it
and try to fit it in to whatever you do in nursing.
I've been in so many situations where I can't panic.
-I have to remain calm, cool and collected. -Right.
-We're strong. -[laughs]
We're strong Black women.
And we're showing just how strong we are.
I really want to beat her, just...
-Kick her ass. [laughs] -[grunts]
-[grunting] -[laughing]
-I love you. -Love you, too.
LIZ: I know I need to stay calm.
Going up against Celi, I'm nervous.
She's a nurse. She has many amazing skills.
She's obviously very strong, very tough.
You know, she could easily knock me out of this thing.
[contestants cheering]
CELI: I'm here to show that nurses,
we're a jack-of-all-trades.
Just like in the hospital, we wear many hats,
and I'm used to this. I'm ready.
I'm prepared to do this.
Celi and Knuckles, welcome to the Figueroa Club Bar.
Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink on the planet.
Well, you've got some thirsty customers here, and today,
your overtime is making sure that you quench their thirst.
When that work whistle blows,
you're gonna run behind the bar,
you're gonna go into the cooler, and you're gonna see that
there are some empty kegs
that you need to replace.
You'll find replacement kegs outside, parked next to
the Ford Super Duty trucks.
Pay careful attention
to the labels on the kegs.
The different types of beer need to be connected
to the correct lines so that when the beer flows,
you get the right beer coming through the tap.
The other thing you have to do is you have to load
all the empty kegs
into the back of one of those trucks,
and shut the tailgate.
Once you have properly connected your kegs,
you then need to pour five beers.
You'll know that you've done a correct pour
when you've got no more than one inch of foam
at the top of your glass.
That's a perfect pour right there.
The first person to replace the five kegs,
pour five beers correctly will stay in contention
for the Tough As Nails individual title.
If you finish last today, you will be punching out.
There's a lot on the line. There's that $200,000,
and, of course, the all-new Ford F-150 truck.
-Let's get started. -[applause] -Good luck, you two.
Celi, Knuckles, are you ready?
-Yeah. -Ready.
This to stay in the Tough As Nailsindividual competition.
[work whistle blows]
[indistinct cheering]
KEOGHAN: In that freezer, it is cold.
LIZ: When I first went in the cooler and saw the taps,
I did have this moment of panic. Again, I'm like, "Okay, this is
the complicated thing where I'm gonna get in my own head,"
but it really easily came out, so I'm feeling pretty good.
KEOGHAN: Wow, right away, Knuckles is rolling out of here.
Celi right behind her.
Remember, they've got to replace five kegs each,
and they have to be the correct kegs.
Who will be the first to get their kegs
loaded onto the dolly?
Knuckles has found her correct keg.
Gotta look at those labels, make sure you got the right one.
This is the Work Whistle beer.
Celi also going with the Work Whistle beer.
Go, Celi!
CELI: Hooking up a beer keg to a line is very similar
to starting an IV. You want to have
that needle in a good position
so you can have great blood flow.
If you don't position the adapter,
you're gonna get beer everywhere.
And if you blow an IV line,
you're gonna get blood everywhere.
So it's very similar.
KEOGHAN: Oh, that's the sound of a beer shower
going on back there.
Knuckles coming back, ready to pour her first beer.
LIZ: My experience pouring beers
is, like, keg parties in college.
It's been many, many, many years, so...
I know I want to keep the cup at an angle,
but that's literally all I can remember.
KEOGHAN: Celi coming through to pour her first beer.
-Come on, Celi. -Go, Celi.
KEOGHAN: Grab me a glass.
Oh, a lot of foam coming through into the glass for Celi.
-First beer down for Knuckles... -[bell rings]
...and she's moving outside now with the second keg.
Celi's still pouring too much foam.
To pour a good glass of beer,
Do not do it how I did it.
Celi, she's not pouring correctly.
You have to open the tap completely,
put it up against the glass and let it pour,
and then the foam will be less.
KEOGHAN: There you go. That's it.
Celi with her first beer poured.
CELI: After a couple pours, I got the hang of it.
At this point, Knuckles is ahead of me.
KEOGHAN: There you go. Knuckles, her second beer pour.
-Going out now for the third keg. -[bell rings]
She's got a system rolling.
Got a little bit of a lead.
All I have to do is maintain that.
KEOGHAN: Celi with her red ale.
Let's go!
KEOGHAN: Knuckles has dropped her keg.
That could foam it up.
Those kegs get shaken up, it creates a lot of foam
when they come through the pipes.
There you go, Liz. There you go.
Oh, my gosh. Ugh!
LIZ: Why is this not working?
KEOGHAN: Knuckles has dropped her keg. That could foam it up.
-LIZ: Oh, my gosh. -I'm touching the keg,
and I somehow pull the lever that, like, pressurizes it
before it's totally connected,
and I'm showered in beer.
I wish it had gotten in my mouth more than on my shirt,
but I'm trying to stay focused, I'm trying to calm myself down.
KEOGHAN: Yeah, that's what you're on. Knuckles pouring her third beer:
the Calloused Hands Lager.
Too much foam on that one.
LIZ: I could feel myself getting into that,
that frantic mindset.
This is mine to lose at this point.
KEOGHAN: Celi with her second beer.
-She's got her pours dialed in now. -[bell rings]
Chasing down Knuckles, who's pouring lots of foam
on her third beer.
Nice work.
-Knuckles with her third beer poured. -[bell rings]
-There you go. -KEOGHAN: By the end of the day,
one of you will be punching out.
Here comes knuckles now, trying to get ahead of Celi.
But Celi cuts her off at the pass.
And look at this. It's like NASCAR.
Look at this, going around the outside. Whoo!
They are hustling, Freight Train,
They are hustling.
Celi and knuckles jostling for space
to get the job done.
Whoa, close dropping. Here comes Knuckles.
Celi's moving on to her third beer,
Knuckles moving on to her fourth.
-PATRICK: Nice pour. -KEOGHAN: Look at this pour.
Pretty perfect pour coming from Knuckles.
You gotta wait for that to clear.
Celi gets her third beer poured. She's going back.
She wants to tie this up.
Knuckles waiting for the foam to go. That's it.
-[bell rings] -Gimme my beer. I want my beer!
KEOGHAN: Knuckles with her fourth beer poured.
One more to go for Knuckles.
Celi showing real strength as she launches a keg
into the back of the truck.
Knuckles, she's got to get all these empty kegs
on the back of the truck, get that job done first.
Then she's got to come back and pour one more beer.
-Go! Go! -Go!
KEOGHAN: Knuckles has loaded her truck.
One more beer, a Tough As Nails IPA,
onto the dolly for Knuckles.
If that is a good pour, she will get the win
here in this overtime.
As Celi comes in to pour her fourth beer.
LIZ: I'm so close.
And I just have to keep going.
I have to steal the deal.
-[others shouting] -KEOGHAN: Perfect.
Here comes Knuckles.
-Knuckles coming down for one more. -[bell rings]
One more pour coming from Knuckles,
but Celi isn't giving up.
She's going back for the Tough As Nails IPA.
[cheering, whooping]
Knuckles' final pour.
-And she gets the win! -[cheering]
Knuckles saves herself, and stays in the Tough As Nails
individual competition.
Can I drink some now?
And she's having a drink to celebrate.
-Oh, and she's thirsty. -I'm so excited I get
to see another day of, like, trying to make that final prize.
I lost the individual challenge, because I got in my own way.
This is another chance to show that you can reset,
you can be calm in the storm.
[laughs]: But I'm hoping I can avoid overtime
at all costs.
KEOGHAN: Celi, bring it in.
-Good job, Celi. -CELI: It's a bittersweet moment for me.
I was doing this for a lot of people,
and even people that don't know me,
and I really wanted to make my family proud.
Be proud of yourself.
I made myself proud, because I've proved
I'm just as tough as everyone else on this team.
I just feel honored to be here.
I got to show the world I can keep up, and if it wasn't
gonna be me, it has to be one of you.
She's the heart and soul of our team, and that's
not just gonna stop because she lost this competition.
She's the heart and soul of our team.
She's amazing.
I've always told you that I was proud of you.
You keep your chin up.
When I get home, I'm gonna tell my daughter about Celi,
and I want her to meet you. I'm so proud of you.
-I can't wait. -Love you, Celi.
-I love you, too. -SWIFTY: I look at Celi
like a little sister.
In this group of competitors,
I cherish the relationships.
We're all different people,
we're all from different walks of life,
but our common bond is...
the human spirit.
Celi, I do need you to punch out.
Don't be sorry. It's an honor.
-You did a fantastic job. -Thank you.
[machine clicks]
[laughter, clapping]
Doing it with style!
All right, I would like to propose a toast
to the best of the best in their chosen trade.
Here's to Tough As Nails
and more great competition.
-Cheers to everybody. -OTHERS: Cheers! Cheers!
Cheers. Cheers.

It was not gonna be a good day. I could get physically sick.
