PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on Tough As Nails...
Dirty Hands left it all on the field...
-Let's go! -...to score their second
straight victory in the team competition.
-Dirty Hands get the win! -ALL: Hands!
KEOGHAN: While Savage Crew's goal for a team win fell short.
In the individual competition,
Scott and Zeus drilled home first and second place
while Knuckles and Celi dropped the ball...
SARAH: Let's go, Knuckles!
-[groans] -...and wound up in overtime.
Knuckles poured her heart out to stay alive
while Celi was forced to punch out.
-Doing it with style. -[applause]
KEOGHAN: Tonight...
On the work whistle.
-[work whistle blows] -ANGEL: Let's go!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands leads
Savage Crew three to two
in the team competition.
KEOGHAN: Can they keep their winning streak alive
and paint Savage Crew into a corner?
-Come on! -Go back down, work your way up.
-Pick up your ... line! -[indistinct shouting]
[screams]
KEOGHAN: And who will be left hanging in the individual competition?
-Ooh, Lord Jesus. -SCOTT: I legit don't want to go over.
I'm really considering
just stepping away from this one and going into OT.
-[groaning] -[screaming]
[siren wailing]
KEOGHAN: Only one will be crowned Tough As Nails champion
and win the $200,000 prize.
♪
Guys, I'm so happy I've met y'all
-and had this experience. -SCOTT: Right back at you.
It's okay that I'm out of the running
of the individual challenge
because I still have an opportunity.
I mean, I'm not gonna win 200K,
but I'm still gonna be able to win
so much money with my team.
Today is a big day.
A must-win. We c-- We're not losing today.
-We're just not. -SWIFTY: How confident
do you think Dirty Hands is going into this?
-Too confident. -Too confident.
-LIZ: Dirty, Dirty... -ALL: Hands!
Hell yeah.
Let's do it!
[laughs]
We're gonna win today.
Today, we'll be the demoralizer.
-I want it to be six wins already. -[laughing]
-Well, that's what we all want. -ANGEL: We're winning,
we're winning. Be patient.
♪
SCOTT: Okay.
SCOTT: Oh, we about to be painting a whole wall.
-There goes Phil, y'all. -That's right, here comes Phil.
-All right. Good morning, guys. -ALL: Good morning, Phil.
Beautiful day in California.
Follow me.
ZEUS: Phil brings us in front of a wall.
And, you know, I seen a AERO-LIFT on each side.
I'm a lineman, so I was like, "Oh, like, this is my ballpark."
Celi, you were eliminated from the individual competition.
I know your team wants to get a win for you today.
I feel like I owe it to my team now,
and we got to work together to get this win.
-We owe, we owe this win to Celi. -Yeah.
SWIFTY: In the individual competition, we lost, uh, Celi.
You know, Celi belongs here.
You know, she-she have her moments where, you know,
she really feels out of her element, which she is.
She's a nurse. But I couldn't go to the hospital and do her job.
Dirty Hands have been bringing it.
Oh, yeah. They beat us.
I can't take nothing away. They tough.
-They beat us. -Straight up.
So now it's our turn to beat that ass.
-[laughter] -CELI: Yeah.
-Yeah. -SWIFTY: We-we need a resounding
-win today, and that's what we're here for. -We do.
Well, let me tell you what you're doing.
The owner of this parking area
has some artwork that's looking a little tatty.
Your job today: give him a nice, clean, fresh canvas
so he can put a new piece of artwork up on the wall.
When the work whistle blows, you'll go to the back
of your Ford F-150, where you've got all the supplies
to get the job done.
You've got 20 gallons of nail gray paint.
You've got five extensions.
You've got rollers, drop cloths, two ladders.
And we have team coveralls inside your trucks.
The most important tool you'll be using today
is you each have a scissor lift.
Savage Crew, you'll be working on this part of the wall.
Dirty Hands, you'll be working on this half of the wall.
Anybody got any experience with painting?
-Angel. -Ten years.
Ten years painting?
As you've learned in all these jobs,
it's one thing to have strong individuals,
it's another thing to be coordinated
and you work efficiently as a team.
And as always...
[applause]
...there is
$12,000 up for grabs
and also today's Badge of Honor.
All right. Take a moment to go and strategize,
and we'll get to work.
LIZ: Iraida, you haven't been crew boss yet.
Do you want to just be crew boss?
Yeah. I'll be crew boss for you guys.
I-I have faith in you guys, I believe in you guys.
We're all gonna work together, we're gonna work as a team,
so we're gonna be able to do this.
-Swifty, you gonna take it? -SWIFTY: Absolutely.
SCOTT: We've decided to have Swifty as our crew boss.
When we were moving the straw bales, I kind of interjected
a different plan and didn't quite listen to Swifty.
Get the rest of those off the trailer and go back.
I can finish this.
-SWIFTY: No, no, no. -Yeah.
I am for sure gonna redeem myself.
-One, two, three. -ALL: Savage Crew!
-Dirty, Dirty... -ALL: Hands!
IRAIDA: The way our team works,
it doesn't matter who the crew boss is.
We all work together.
We're-- We feel excited.
We're excited about this one.
KEOGHAN: All right, let's get it on.
-On the work whistle. -[work whistle blows]
SCOTT: Let's do this.
LIZ: The whistle blows.
We, you know, we run to the truck.
We're trying to get what we need to bring in the lift.
I don't have any professional experience painting,
but, I mean, I've lived...
many different apartments over the years
and painted every one of them.
All right, I'll start you up.
Anchor? Good.
Dirty Hands, the first to get their scissor lift started,
-and they're moving. -ANGEL: I'm operating today,
and Liz is my passenger.
I use all types of different AERO-LIFTs,
buckets every single day.
As an apprentice coming up to a journeyman,
the one thing you're taught is to eliminate redundant moves.
My plan is to basically make three moves
with the AERO-LIFT, so it'll just be every two cars
will be where the lift sets up.
They're going to the highest level.
PATRICK: We're all kind of picking roles
that we're comfortable with.
We're keeping Angel on the ground
'cause he's one of the taller ones and we're hoping
he can reach the midway point of the painting.
And then Iraida and I on the ground doing the ground work
and doing the-the drop cloths and everything else.
KEOGHAN: Merryl and Sarah, getting up onto the scissor lift.
I'm gonna be the scissor lift operator.
Need to get us the buckets.
Because we need the taller guys Swifty and Scott down low.
KEOGHAN: This will be a test for Scott to make sure
that he lets Swifty lead.
Celi working ahead with the drop cloths.
-Hey, tarp, tarp! -SCOTT: Tarps!
This challenge, I'm gonna be on the lower level.
And then once I'm done, I'm gonna just kind of
give my recommendations if we have any missing spots.
This is a detailed task.
It's not about strength and muscle.
This is a mental challenge.
-MERRYL: You got it? -KEOGHAN: Savage Crew using the extension
on their scissor lift.
That'll allow Sarah and Merryl to paint
more of their wall from one position.
Hey, I'm gonna kick this out.
Wait, wait, don't kick it. Don't kick it.
We don't need to. It's redundant, it's redundant.
-Okay. Okay, gotcha. -We're gonna move three times.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands choosing not to use the extension on their scissor.
Scott up on a ladder.
Look at that long reach. Six-foot-seven.
SCOTT: Yeah, with the ladder and the extended pole,
I can use that to reach
the second row from the top, and that's a big advantage
for our team right now.
Is there an extra roller?
The last challenge, we didn't really communicate well.
So this challenge, our goal is to communicate
and execute the plan.
Up, down, up, down, all around. Up, down.
[laughs]
SARAH: Don't kill yourself with the height.
I got to go up again.
This is good teamwork.
Everybody's got a job.
Just as well there's drop cloths
'cause there's paint going everywhere.
ZEUS: You ready-- Are you ready to go up?
Uh, yeah.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands starting at the top level
with the painting, using the scissor lift.
Meanwhile, interesting that Savage Crew
decided to start on the second layer
rather than going right to the top.
-LIZ: I'm ready to go up. -ZEUS: All right. Moving up.
And look at the way that Angel is using the extended handle
to be able to reach these very high letters.
This is right in his wheelhouse.
ANGEL: This is what I do for a living.
You know, part of my job is waterproofing,
and I've painted buildings from 30 floors down.
It's just about making
every strike count.
Does it have to be inside the letters?
PATRICK: Yes. We have to fill the letters.
ANGEL: You want to add as much paint as-as possible
but not too much to where you're smearing
and leaving patches and making
the paint drip on you.
ZEUS: Yeah, I'm just blobbing mine.
-Yeah. -A lot faster.
Merryl and Sarah are moving up towards the top level now.
-SWIFTY: Merryl! -MERRYL: What?
I'm right next to you.
Make sure that you cover up all the color.
If I can see color from down here,
you're gonna have to go up and do it again.
Do it right the first time.
ZEUS: Can you reach that top corner?
And then we're good. After that, we'll go down to the next one.
-Okay, yeah. Yep. -You good?
LIZ: All right. Coming down! coming down.
Angel, Iraida and I are getting stuff done
really quickly, but then we notice that Zeus
and Liz came down a little too far.
Zeus, let's get the top of these letters while we can.
Get the top, get the top of the "P."
I'm just trying to,
on the way down, like, hit things
that I can hit on the way down that, you know,
I'm not necessarily gonna finish this,
but just, if I have the chance to do
a little extra, do a little extra.
ANGEL: Guys, go back up. I got this.
-You don't have the top of these letters... -PATRICK: No, do not come down!
ANGEL: Go back up! Go back up.
One thing that got to me
is when they started painting my letters.
And it's like, "Don't come down and paint."
What are they yelling down there? And why?
PATRICK: Do not come down next time!
-Well, then you got to move so we can move! -ANGEL: All right, let's move.
-Come on. Let's go. Hey. -Get the buckets out of the way, Angel!
ANGEL: Dude, you guys are wrong.
You're just wasting time.
-Iraida! -KEOGHAN: You can see why Angel is frustrated.
Zeus and Knuckles are using the scissor lift
to paint the letters that he can easily paint from the ground.
-Coming down. -Coming down!
Sarah and Merryl, on the move again.
They've completed the top section at a blistering pace.
But once that paint dries, they're gonna need to step
way back and see just how thorough their painting is.
SARAH: As a pipe welder, you have to take a second
to pay attention to details
and have the patience to get that weld right.
It's hard for Merryl and I to see the color
coming through because we-we've been looking
at the gray wall the whole time, and we're really close.
SCOTT: Hey, that blue up top is not gonna be done.
SARAH: All right, move everything, move everything.
We didn't skip a beat. Everybody was doing something.
Swifty, let me help you. Let me help you.
SWIFTY: And as we're painting, man, you know, it's hot,
and that brick holds heat, so the sun
was just beating off of it.
SARAH: All right, I'm going up, Merryl.
-Merryl. -Lift coming up!
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew making great time,
but there are some patches of colored paint showing through.
Dirty Hands going slower, but they're covering up
more of the colored paint.
Hey, Zeus, I-I'm gonna kick this out.
They got more letters than we did.
ZEUS: The passenger never overrides the operator.
Liz extended it, and to me,
that's like saying, "Screw you,"
so I'm like, "Okay, well, screw it, then."
Is that all it can go?
All right, let's do whatever, then, you know?
LIZ: Even though it's not part of the plan, like,
I-I think it will be an advantage
to kick out the extension.
IRAIDA: But look at them and look at us.
-How you looking on supplies? -SARAH: I'm fine.
KEOGHAN: Good coverage. We need good coverage.
The guy who owns this building is very particular.
He's very wealthy and very particular,
and he loves gray paint.
I'm running around everywhere to point out
every spot that we missed, because right now
it's getting down
to the very little details.
Both teams about halfway through the job,
but they've got some patching up to do.
IRAIDA: Come on, guys! Come on!
In all this process,
I'm looking at how many cars we have left.
And then I'm looking over,
and they have less cars than us.
-ANGEL: Come on. -LIZ: We can still see part...
-[overlapping shouting] -ANGEL: Work your way up.
Work your way up. Work your way up.
Stop right there, work your way up.
From my experience, I don't work like that.
It makes it more complicated.
We just have to be more efficient.
Stop right there and work your way up!
-Oh, my God. -IRAIDA: Go back up! Back up! Back up!
MERRYL: One thing I know at this point about Dirty Hands
is, once they're behind in a competition,
they get a little frazzled.
So I'm trying to keep them frazzled
by just staying ahead of them
in the competition.
Guys, they got this one. They got two cars left.
Come on. No arguing. Let's go.
It's crazy because this is a patience challenge,
but it's also who finishes faster.
Just go, just go.
You know, guys, I don't need enough-- more gray in my hair.
CELI: Come on, guys!
We're right there. Keep it up!
Yep! Go over it twice!
Oh, my gosh. We're almost there, guys.
Top left and we're-we're gonna kill it, guys!
KEOGHAN: Nice work, Savage Crew.
Incredible speed painting your side of the wall.
But you need to stand back and have another good look.
Swifty fixing a mistake. That's good attention to detail.
PATRICK: Angel, here!
-Where? -Here! The tire.
-ANGEL: I can't see it. -SCOTT: Come on, come on.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew almost done,
but there's still a few spots of color that they've missed.
They got to cover those up.
Oh, my gosh. We're almost there, guys!
SCOTT: Celi, what do you think?
It looks good!
[laughs]: I'm partially color-blind, so...
the gray and that blue looks the exact same to me.
-CELI: Move this. -Watch out, watch out.
CELI: Left top corner.
-SCOTT: Come on, come on. -SWIFTY: Go, Celi,
go, go, go.
To the truck. All to the truck.
It was, it was difficult to...
to be patient in that process.
It's-it's getting down to the wire.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew fixing up
one last piece and starting to pack up.
Dirty Hands on their final section.
This is gonna be close.
We have to go to the other end, Patrick.
-What? -The other end!
-What's wrong with it? -The top.
They're gonna beat us.
KEOGHAN: Both teams on a roll, communicating well.
At this point, it's gonna come down
to who did the job right in the first place.
Any sloppy work needs to be covered up,
and that could be the difference between winning and losing this.
CELI: Right there! Right there!
SCOTT: When we're working together as a team, Savage Crew,
we can, we can get a lot done.
Two steps to the right!
To the right!
Done! Done!
Savage Crew bringing down their scissor lift.
IRAIDA: Come on, guys! Come on!
-SCOTT: Last bucket! -Let's go!
Drop it!
Pick it up.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew is rushing
to the finish line, but there's still color on the wall.
-SWIFTY: Stop! -SCOTT: On ours?
KEOGHAN: There's still a spot of color left on the wall.
CELI: Where's the mistake?
KEOGHAN: Stand back and look carefully at your wall.
IRAIDA: Come on, guys! Come on!
Hey, what's going on?
SWIFTY: We got another spot!
Two steps to the right. Done! Done!
-Come down. Come down. -We have to paint over
this whole wall to make it look fresh.
We finish up. Merryl and I come down,
unhook myself, unhook her.
We start carrying things down, putting things on the truck...
Get a tarp right now.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew is rushing
to the finish line, but there's still
a spot of color on the wall.
SCOTT: On ours?
-[Swifty grunts] -Got to cover it up.
CELI: Where's the mistake?
KEOGHAN: Stand back and look carefully
at your wall.
IRAIDA: Come on, guys! Come on!
They're about to win.
Hey, what's going on?
SCOTT: Ladder.
You can't see it. You just can't.
The-the sun is on it. The glare is weird.
You're staring at this gray all day long.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew can't seem to find the spot
of color they've missed.
That's left the door open for Dirty Hands to catch up.
IRAIDA: Come on, Zeus!
Come on, Liz! Come on!
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew desperately trying to find
the spot of color they've missed.
Go up! Go up!
-CELI: All the way up! -Go up!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands have caught up, but they've also missed
one spot of color.
They both seem to be painting willy-nilly at this point.
No plan. Guesswork from both teams.
IRAIDA: The mirror. The mirror.
LIZ: We know it's so close. We know it's neck and neck.
It's chaotic.
-Now, Liz! -Come on, guys.
Go up, go up, go up.
PATRICK: Where that stencil is, right here.
Whatever they were saying on the ground,
I was like, "What?"
All right, so where's our mistake?
IRAIDA: The corner.
Keep going down, down. There you go. There.
Zeus, dip, dip, dip. Dip, dip!
Down and over.
Dip in some paint.
Go down!
One dip and you've got it.
-PATRICK: Go down! -ANGEL: Go down!
-Where? -ANGEL: Go down! -IRAIDA: Go down!
-Give me that, give me that. -You got to come over!
-You got to come over. -Come over!
I got to come down!
$12,000 on the line for the winning team.
It's so close.
Let's go!
At that moment, I saw that it was close.
Now it's a race to the finish now.
CELI: Come down! Come down!
-SARAH: We're done, Swifty. -SCOTT: Hey, come on!
-CELI: Come down. -SWIFTY: Oh, my God.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew, stand back from your wall.
Look at every single place
you were painting today and look for color.
-[Scott groans] -SWIFTY: Yellow. -SARAH: Where?
Yellow, right above the man-lift.
-SARAH: Where? -CELI: Hurry, run. -SWIFTY: Right above.
SCOTT: Very top right!
-Sarah, up. -SWIFTY: Go up!
-Go up! -SCOTT: Right, more right! -CELI: There you go.
CELI: There you go. There you go.
Up, up, up, up.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew covering up a sloppy bit of painting.
I don't see nothing from here.
Dirty Hands also covering up their sloppy work.
Savage Crew packing up again.
It's a race to fix one spot of color.
The first team to cover it and pack everything away
gets the win.
This is $12,000 on the line.
Is this it for Savage Crew?
Savage Crew with the win! They've fixed their mistake.
-[cheering] -Dirty Hands still have one mistake
left up on the wall.
-CELI: Yes! -IRAIDA: I don't see nothing else.
KEOGHAN: The win today goes to Savage Crew.
Bring it in, everybody. Bring it in.
SARAH: I'm very excited for this win.
Feels good to have some money in the pocket,
and we need to up our game.
We needed some kind of confidence.
ANGEL: You know, we were probably
hitting places that didn't need any painting,
and it was just that one spot that we needed to hit.
And we can't afford another loss.
We should have won today.
Like, I don't know why we didn't win today, to be honest.
Both teams brought it today.
Celi, you had the eagle eyes for your team today.
You stood back, and it literally came down
to one mistake apiece.
Savage Crew fixed theirs before you fixed yours.
So the win today does go to Savage Crew.
-[applause] -Swifty, great leadership today.
I am pleased to tell you, you get the $12,000, Swifty.
Distribute that to your team.
And of course, the Badge of Honor.
Congratulations to you.
We have a game on our hands.
Team scores are three apiece.
The team that wins the team competition
will be getting a cash bonus prize
of $60,000.
-[applause] -$12,000 each.
All right, guys. Get some rest.
Tomorrow, we're gonna continue cleaning up the city.
[overlapping chatter, groans]
LIZ: It doesn't feel great.
It feels like there's some division today
on the crew, but, like,
it wasn't a blowout.
It was-- You know, we-we gave it our all.
-Dirty, Dirty... -ALL: Hands!
♪
LIZ: Zeus and I, I could tell I was frustrating him.
I was a little frustrated, too.
Like, it would be good to have an opportunity just to kind of
air our grievances.
-When I have a plan... -Yeah.
...and a wrench is thrown into the process...
-Yeah. -...it frustrates me,
-as you can see. [laughs] -Oh, no. I-I totally understand that.
-But, like, I have to say, like... -Yeah.
We lost because we didn't do a good enough job painting.
I know we have team challenges still going forward,
and I don't want to, you know,
make anything between us weird right now.
I'm working on just, like, taking a step back.
-Mm-hmm. -Like, and, like, a deep breath.
For me, I always tell myself, like, "You got this,"
you know, "I believe in you."
I talk to myself, like, "Dude, you got this," like...
-Yeah. -"This is a walk in the park.
-This is easy," Like, I hype myself up. -Yeah.
LIZ: Our society does not teach women to talk themselves up.
You know, for him, I know that he thinks he is,
you know, God's gift
to this competition.
Like, not in an egotistical way,
it's like, that's how he functions.
He's-he's got a Greek god name.
It's just not something I've ever done,
so it's not as easy as me starting to go,
"You know what, Knuckles? You're the best.
You're amazing." Like, I just--
It doesn't come naturally to me to do that.
-I believe in you. -Mm-hmm.
-You just got to kind of accept yourself. -Yeah.
-'Cause you have the skill. You have the... -Yeah.
-You know, you're physical, your endurance, and... -Yeah.
My getting to 100 is just self.
-It's pointed here. Like... -[both laugh]
It's not pointed out, but...
I think the next one's ours, you know?
ZEUS: Yep.
♪
SCOTT: So, we got to flip out of team mode.
No offense, but I'm gonna murder you all.
[laughter]
You know what, Scott? I was thinking about
how you've been winning these challenges.
And I'm like, "You know what? ... you."
[laughter]
SWIFTY: Scott is the biggest threat.
He's smooth, he tactical. And you're long.
-I thought Iwas tall. He two to one on me. -[laughs]
SCOTT: We do want to see each other go through
each round and not get knocked out,
but when it comes down to it, these people
who I'm riding here with, who are on my team,
they're in my way.
And we're in each other's way,
and we've got to fight against each other.
And it's a weird dynamic.
It's a really weird dynamic. So I'm...
I'm sweating it a little bit today.
I'm gonna be honest.
I'm feeling a little bit of pressure now
after you guys said I was the threat.
[laughter]
-Aw... -SWIFTY: You should.
-I do. I feel it. -I'm glad. I'm glad.
-SARAH: Did you not know? -SCOTT: I'm just, like, legit sweating now.
[laughter]
LIZ: Individual competition today, guys.
I know. I wonder what we're doing.
Hope whatever it is involves a car.
Do you get to work with other people, Freight Train?
Like, one of the things I love about my trade
is the camaraderie, you know?
Like, is it a pretty solitary job?
I usually have the same loader.
And you get to know all the people.
Like, you walk in there, and you know
who-who you got to go to get the signature.
I-I just love my job for the people aspect of it.
I've gotten to see kids grow up.
I've delivered their birthday presents.
I've delivered their Christmas presents.
My customers, they're like friends.
We're going into the individual challenge next,
and I'm hoping that I'm showing
that even though, you know, I am older,
I'm hoping I'm making everybody proud.
Not just my family but my brothers and sisters
in my union and my industry.
[siren wailing in distance]
Okay, guys. Good morning. Come on over.
Celi, Angel, since you've punched out
of the individual competition, you'll be with me.
Everybody else, over here.
Anybody here scared of heights?
PATRICK: Not heights.
It's falling.
Okay. Fear of falling.
Yeah. Of-- not heights, just fear of falling.
My mind is going a hundred million miles an hour right now.
I'm nervous. Couldn't get, like, a shorter building?
Like, you know, did it have to be so high? [chuckles]
Anything else you notice about the city?
A lot of glass.
[Merryl chuckles]
-Oh, boy. -Did you notice how dirty
the windows were when you got to the building today?
-No. -You couldn't even see them. -They are filthy.
They are disgusting. They need to be cleaned.
That is your job.
And how do you clean windows?
-You go over the side. -You go over the side
and you go down.
[laughter, groaning]
That is what you will be doing today.
-Ha, yes! -I was like a kid
in a candy store. I was like, "Yes."
I was happy. We're gonna be outside,
dangling in the air.
SCOTT: I just
legitimately get, like, physically sick.
I'm afraid of my giant body,
with one little rope holding me
over emptiness.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Welcome to Downtown Los Angeles.
SCOTT [laughs]: Is this worth $200,000?
KEOGHAN: There are four lines of windows
that need to be cleaned.
And since there's eight of you,
that means you will be working
-in pairs. -In pairs.
-ZEUS: Oh, wow. -One person will be cleaning
the left side of the line of windows,
the other person will be cleaning the right side.
We're gonna be starting on the ground.
When that work whistle blows, one person from each pair,
run up to the top of the building,
grab a bucket and squeegee, hook in.
Go over the side
and start cleaning a line of windows.
Once one member has cleaned a line of windows,
they'll hand over their bucket
and their squeegee to their partner,
who will then clean the second pane of glass.
The pair that finishes last
will go from being partners
to being rivals in overtime,
and one of you will be punching out.
There's a lot on the line.
$200,000 and an all-new Ford F-150 truck.
If you have a fear of heights,
this is when you need to find your inner Murph.
In the fire challenge, when he went over the edge
and he was petrified...
Murph, this comes down to you facing your fear.
We got you here.
Trust in your gear.
Trust your gear. Trust your gear.
So, as far as who's paired with who,
Scott, since you won the last individual challenge,
you get the first pick.
Merryl, do you want to be my teammate?
-Yes. -Okay.
There we go. I got Merryl.
Wow.
That was super quick.
I mean, that happened like lightning.
Scott, you just went straight to Merryl.
I'm gonna need Merryl on this one.
I'm freaking myself out.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
To work up the courage to step over a building
and put my trust into someone's hands
and the gear is gonna be a big step for me.
MERRYL: I believe Scott chooses me
because I'm very calm under pressure.
So if he were to freak out a little bit,
I could be a reassuring force for him.
KEOGHAN: Everybody else, pick partners.
-Swifty? Yeah, let's go. -Sarah? Let's go.
Zeus, would you be my teammate?
-Make up for yesterday? -Yeah.
-Me and Iraida. Yeah. -You and Iraida?
Growing up, at church camp every year, we went rock climbing.
My hardest part always, for me, is getting over
the side of the building.
I'm gonna need Patrick on this one.
'Cause I'm gonna need you to run the stairs.
Iraida and I have worked well together.
You know, we're both slow and steady
to get the job done.
So I was feeling pretty confident that we were
gonna do really well in this challenge.
All right, let's get down to the street,
start this job.
♪
KEOGHAN: All geared up, ready to go?
Who's first in each pair?
-Zeus, Swifty, Freight Train. -Patrick.
And Scott. Ready to get it on?
-Yeah. -Step up to the line, guys.
Celi and Angel, you'll be with me over here.
SWIFTY: I didn't know how Sarah felt, particularly,
with heights, so I figured if I went over first
and she got a chance to watch me,
if she had any doubts,
that would kind of help her
when she had to go up.
On the work whistle.
[work whistle blows]
LIZ: Go, Zeus.
MERRYL: Come on, Scott.
KEOGHAN: Lot of steps to get to the roof.
SCOTT: Exhausted.
KEOGHAN: Once they're on top,
they'll be rigged up and go over the edge.
PATRICK: We get to the top of the stairs,
and I'm actually starting to feel a little light-headed.
[man speaks indistinctly]
Want to just kind of ease yourself over the edge.
ZEUS: This is, uh, nothing new to me.
I work at heights.
I'm extremely comfortable at it.
Like, I don't have an ounce of fear,
and I definitely have an edge on everybody.
Ooh, Lord Jesus.
All right, here we go. They're going over the edge.
IRAIDA: There you go, Patrick! Yes!
When I see Freight Train's legs coming over
on the outside of the building, oh, I start freaking out.
I'm like, oh, better him than me.
-PATRICK: Am I in it? -MAN: Yeah, you got one...
PATRICK: The scariest moment is when you're stepping over a wall
and you-- they tell you there's a ledge there,
but we thought it was, like, an actual ledge.
But it was actually a little platform that
they had hanging there and you had to put your feet on.
So I'm just dangling, trying to find the spot.
Just kept telling myself, "Don't look down."
-All right. -[exhales]
SCOTT: I legit don't want to go over.
I don't want to do it. I'm really considering
just stepping away from this one and going into OT.
But then...
I know if I do that,
me and Merryl are going into overtime.
WOMAN: Yes, yeah.
KEOGHAN: Scott hesitating at the top. He hasn't moved yet.
Come on, Scott!
[siren wailing]
SCOTT: I'm gonna go.
I don't want to let go of that.
MERRYL: Let's go, Scott! You got it.
One step at a time.
There you go.
KEOGHAN: Here we go. All four now over the edge.
Keep on going, Scott.
[Scott grunts]
SCOTT: Once I felt like I wasn't gonna plummet to my death...
[laughs] ...I just thought,
"I-I better just go and do this."
Because if I don't step out over the edge of this building...
Okay, Scott.
...that would've been completely unfair to Merryl.
Plus, she told me she would beat me up
[laughs]: if, if I did that.
And she probably could. She probably could.
MERRYL: Soak it!
Lot of water, Scotty.
Scraper is your friend!
LIZ: There you go, Zeus.
There you go.
ZEUS: I get to the first window, and I'm like,
"Yo, what the hell?"
Yeah, it was so hard to clean those windows.
What made it hard was, I would throw
a bunch of water on it,
and it would dry instantly.
You know, it was super hot, I was super uncomfortable.
And I was like, "Man, I just want to get down."
KEOGHAN: Oh, they're gonna need a lot of water.
These windows are filthy.
Look, all of that stuff, and then the sun baking it on.
It's really stuck.
ANGEL: This is gonna take a long time.
KEOGHAN: Swifty and Zeus getting off to a fast start.
Scott was hesitant out of the gate,
but now he's picking up speed.
And Freight Train, doing what he does best,
methodically working away.
IRAIDA: Get more water. Water's your friend.
Get water. Soak them up.
Scott was a little bit behind me coming down the wall,
but he was finishing faster than me.
You need water.
-I got water. -Plenty of water.
[grunts]
PATRICK: I'm trying to go faster and faster,
but I'm really struggling, trying to keep myself
in the right position to actually clean 'em.
And it was starting to wear on me.
KEOGHAN: Cleaning these dirty windows is hard enough,
but made even more difficult with that scorching sun.
All that reflective light off the glass
really taking a toll on everybody.
ANGEL: You got it, Patrick.
Swifty with his second window complete.
Zeus struggling. Careful with your feet on the glass.
Always keep an eye on your... on your teammate.
Don't take your eyes off them.
You got it, Zeus. You got it, Zeus.
LIZ: I told Zeus I wasn't gonna try
and control him with the rope until he gave me
a hand signal, but he's not giving me anything.
And he's swinging up there
and Swifty's coming down, Scott's coming down.
Everybody's moving faster than Zeus except for Freight Train.
It's just the complete opposite of what I thought
was gonna happen.
I'm bringing you over, Zeus. I'm bringing you over.
I don't think he's gonna give me any signals.
I'm just gonna have to watch him and work with him
by myself down here.
KEOGHAN: Freight Train's still working
on his first.
It is a struggle.
IRAIDA: Patrick, wet the windows up
so you can loosen all that debris.
PATRICK: I'm trying! It's...
...not as easy as it looks.
I realized that I wasn't really fully recovered
from the run up to the top of the building yet,
and I was already not catching my breath.
[grunts]
And plus, it was, like, 95, 96 degrees.
I was already dripping wet.
Was trying to use my whole arms to hold and clean
at the same time, and it wasn't working very well.
[exhales]
SWIFTY: Ooh, Lord. [groans]
Whoa. Swifty twirling around.
SARAH: Grab it, Swifty. Come on, bud.
Swifty starts losing his feet on the side of the building.
He starts to swing all over the place.
Anchor your feet, Swifty!
He's getting kind of frazzled,
and I definitely don't want to be in that OT.
KEOGHAN: Oh, he's sliding everywhere.
Use your feet!
I let go of the rope and...
I-I went into a-a free spin.
I was just spinning out of control.
I am worried that I will break through the glass.
[grunting]
SARAH: Anchor your feet, Swifty!
SARAH: Use your feet, Swifty.
Stabilize yourself.
CELI: Groups of two are propelling off
of a eight-story building, cleaning windows.
I don't like heights.
I'm glad I don't have to do this today.
KEOGHAN: Whoa. Swifty twirling around.
-[grunts] -Oh, he's sliding everywhere.
SWIFTY: I let go of the rope,
and I-I went into a-a free spin.
I was just spinning out of control.
SARAH: Grab it, Swifty. Come on, bud.
Swifty, he doesn't plant his feet for some reason.
And because he doesn't plant his feet,
he starts turning all over the place.
He's looking like Peter Pan up there.
He's trying to hold himself on the building.
SARAH: So, finally he gets his feet planted,
and then Swifty starts getting the hang of it.
All right, Swift!
There you go.
KEOGHAN: Swifty and Zeus with two windows complete,
and Scott working on his fourth.
The man who was scared of heights
has taken a solid lead.
Good job, Scott!
[grunts]
KEOGHAN: Freight Train still struggling
with that window.
He's fallen behind.
Sweat dripping down onto the street.
PATRICK: I could feel my strength going.
And I'm trying to hold on, and I'm trying to keep going.
[grunting]
My arms are dead.
You're okay!
You're just tired.
I'm trying, Iraida. My arms are burned.
My arms started to cramp, but I was trying
anything I could to finish the challenge.
[grunts]
Yeah, I didn't want to let Iraida down.
IRAIDA: There you go, Patrick. There you go.
SWIFTY: I'm making more streaks like this.
Over.
There we go.
There we go. Oh, hello.
-[whimpers] -MERRYL: Use your feet, Scott.
SCOTT: Go over. Back over.
Back over.
[grunts] Come on, baby.
[whoops]
KEOGHAN: There is a lot of water
dropping out of those buckets.
You need that water. Don't waste a drop.
It's hard, though.
We were away from the windows, so you kind of
have to pull yourself into the window.
And as soon as you let go,
it's like you fly back out.
Oh, my gosh.
KEOGHAN: Remember, you guys,
you can help your partners out, stabilizing them with the rope.
LIZ: Don't be afraid to talk to me.
Let me know what you need.
Now I know his weakness is, "Don't mess with the process."
So I told him,
"I am only going to move as you direct me."
ZEUS: I still didn't even think about using Knuckles on the ground,
which is something we do every day as linemen.
Our groundman is so crucial.
So it clicks in my head, I'm like,
"Yo, Knuckles, pull me out to the left."
Pull me that way.
Pull me right there. Slow.
As soon as she does that, it does help.
I'm able to kind of position myself better.
Hey, can you hold tension in the line so I'm not so loose?
Please?
Let go. I'm coming down!
Scott gets the all-clear on his set of windows.
He's moving down to clean another set.
Talk about overcoming his fear.
CELI: Let's go, Scotty!
KEOGHAN: Merryl holding him in place.
Scott takes the lead.
SCOTT: The work was hard, but once it was work
in front of me, and I knew I just had to get
as much water on these windows as I can,
scrape off what you can and squeegee it,
move on to the next section.
Go, Scott! Keep that momentum! Keep that pace!
SCOTT: And I'm proud of myself
that I actually did it.
I didn't give up. I didn't quit.
And it just became work.
MERRYL: Good job, Scott!
KEOGHAN: Swifty, Zeus, Freight Train,
you got some catching up to do.
Come on, Patrick. Come on, man.
-KEOGHAN: Freight Train really struggling to stabilize himself. -ANGEL: Yes, he is.
I think he's tired, to be honest.
-It's exhausting work. -Yeah.
[exhales]
[shouts]
[yells]
IRAIDA: Come on, Patrick!
[Patrick yelling]
MERRYL: After Scott starts moving to the next four panes,
and Freight Train is still on the first window,
I know something, something's not right.
[groaning]
SWIFTY: I hear Freight Train calling out.
He's a few rows over from me,
so I can't really make out what the problem is.
-[groaning] -CELI: Patrick, what's wrong?
-You okay? -PATRICK: I can't, I can't hold myself.
CELI: He can't hold himself. What's wrong?
Patrick, you okay?
PATRICK: I can't hold the window.
Ow!
KEOGHAN: Freight Train, you want to come down?
Yeah.
KEOGHAN: Let him down. Medics!
IRAIDA: There's a moment that I realize,
like, I feel like he's panicking.
[groans]
I'm sorry, Iraida.
-[groans] -We got you.
And I'm feeling helpless,
because I don't know how to help him.
I'm sorry, Iraida.
[groaning]
[Patrick groaning]
ZEUS: All of a sudden, Freight Train starts screaming.
I looked over at him, and he wasn't okay.
I'm trying to see if I can get to him somehow to help him,
but it's not possible, you know?
KEOGHAN: Let's get Freight Train down.
-Medics! -[groaning]
SARAH: What's wrong?
Okay, all right, all right.
Lay him down, lay him down, lay him down, lay him down.
Oh, I felt a pop.
Do you have a pulse oximeter?
I definitely went into nurse mode.
It wasn't about the competition anymore.
KEOGHAN: All right, guys, come on down. That's it.
Patrick, just try to focus on slowing your breathing down.
You're safe now.
You've got one of America's best nurses.
I think you're-you're... you're in good hands.
CELI: Let's check his pulse ox, too.
-PATRICK: I'm sorry, Iraida. -IRAIDA: It's okay, honey.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
KEOGHAN: It's all good, buddy.
IRAIDA: As long as you're here and you're safe,
that's all that matters.
You're okay. I don't care.
CELI: So, when we got him down, we checked his pulse,
we checked his blood pressure...
Yeah, we do.
...but it was safe for us
to call the paramedics to come,
because we just want to make sure that he's okay.
ANGEL: Freight Train-- he's such a great, great man.
And, like, he's a great father.
That's all he-- all he talks about is his family
and his daughters and how much he misses them.
[siren wailing]
SCOTT: Seeing Freight Train
get pulled away in an ambulance, it was scary.
IRAIDA: Patrick, we love you!
SARAH: Freight Train!
IRAIDA: We love you, Patrick!
You just think of things that are, like,
most important to you in those times.
I hope he's okay,
'cause his-his family could not...
[sniffles]
He just needs to be around for his family, you know?
[siren wailing]
IRAIDA: At this point, honestly, I'm not even thinking
about overtime.
I'm just thinking about Patrick being okay.
He's one of us, you know.
We all have a lot of love and respect for each other,
so we're all just waiting to see what we hear
and-and hoping and praying that he's okay.
KEOGHAN: Celi's so calm
under pressure.
CELI: Guys, he's stable.
I think it was a mix of cramping,
heat exhaustion, being up there, anxiety.
So he's gonna be okay, guys.
And that's what matters the most, is that he's stable.
[bird squawks]
As you know, we were unable to finish
the individual challenge today.
Freight Train, he's at the hospital right now.
He's being looked after.
I do want to say a huge thank you to you, Celi,
for stepping in and looking after him.
And, Iraida, thanks to you for looking after your teammate.
I am happy to report that Freight Train is fine.
I just wanted to let you know that he is under good care.
Just to be cautious, they're keeping an eye on him
at the hospital.
He just needs to rest up.
As a result, he is officially
punched out of the individual competition,
so there will be no overtime.
And, Iraida, as his partner today,
I was wondering if you could punch him out.
IRAIDA: I was kind of caught off guard
because I don't want to punch nobody out,
and much less my teammate.
You know, he was my partner...
...and Patrick is an amazing guy.
My eyes got watery, you know, but...
he's good, he's healthy and he's still here with us,
and that's all that matters.
But I really hope that's the only time
I have to punch out in this competition.
-KEOGHAN: See you tomorrow. Good night, everybody. Get some rest. -MERRYL: Good night, Phil.
Thank you.
LIZ: Freight Train has been like
-a linchpin of this team. -IRAIDA: Yeah.
It bums all of us out because, like I said, he's...
You know, we've gotten so close to him,
and-and he's a huge asset to us.
He plays a key role in every challenge that we do.
We just have to stay focused and regroup.
Even now, more, we have to really win tomorrow.
-ZEUS: Yeah. -We have to do it for Patrick.
Yeah.
Got to do what we do, guys.
Yeah, we're still four strong, fast people.
We can do it.
-LIZ: Dirty, Dirty. -ALL: Hands.
ANGEL: That was the most weakest...
LIZ: Let's do that again.
-Dirty, Dirty. -ALL: Hands!
KEOGHAN: Next time onTough As Nails...
-IRAIDA: Today's challenge is all about Freight Train. -Savage Crew!
-MERRYL: It needs to be together. -KEOGHAN: $12,000 on the line.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew with their tree.
Meanwhile, Angel has not stopped.
SARAH: Start laying the grass.
Don't those oranges look lovely?
This is the citrus capital
of the world that you're in today.
ANGEL: Zeus, where are you?
[echoes]: Where are you?
