Previously on Tough As Nails...
I got that one, I got that one. Move!
...Savage Crew tried to unearth
a win in the team competition.
Scott has not been saying a lot.
Start laying the grass.
But Dirty Hands dug deep,
-and now lead four-three.
I can't let whatever
the challenge is get me down.
In the individual competition,
-the seven remaining contestants... -Go, go, go, go, go!
...got into a fruit fight.
Yeah, Merryl.
Merryl and Iraida got picked apart...
Why?
...leaving them to face off in a race against time...
Hurry!
...forcing U-2 pilot Merryl
-to be permanently grounded
from the individual competition.
My hero!
Tonight, will Dirty Hands
win the overall team competition
and head out of town with a cash bonus prize
-of $60,000? -Angel!
Or will Savage Crew crush those plans...
Come on, you guys!
...and force them into a tiebreaker?
Don't stop the pressure!
And with the individual competition
down to just six...
He loses a lot of it!
...it's a down and dirty fight...
Do not waste a drop.
...to stay out of overtime.
Oh, my God!
Oh, come on.
Everybody feeling good?
Ready. -I'm ready.
Today we come together, today we tie it up.
I was quiet on the last one.
That will not be the case today.
This competition for sure wears on you mentally.
I've been through a lot of hard things
and I-I doubt myself a lot. It comes from, you know,
being a little kid being bullied.
I was a quiet, kind of nerdy kid.
I wore glasses with Chums.
I had a headgear that I had to put on
-as soon as the end-of-school bell rang.
And I remember, every single day,
walking out of my chorus class,
I would get stopped by a group of kids,
and I was bullied every day.
That seventh grader still lives in me.
I... I still have confidence issues from it.
Luckily, my teammates are amazing people who have also
been through hard things, who understand
what it means to doubt yourself at times.
We've been through everything we needed
to go through for this moment.
And we're gonna
collectively put everything we've been through
to win this today. Okay?
-We had our ups, we had our downs.
We got to do it today.
It's win or win.
If we win today, we take home the Badge of Honor.
-And
$60,000.
This win is just so important.
We just have to think about that grand prize.
It's four-three right now.
If we win today, we seal the deal.
We get that $60,000 bonus.
So we're ready to just leave it all out there.
Let's just talk about the worst-case scenario.
Which is? Mechanics.
-Worst-case scenario... Let's just...
We're just crossing our fingers. -...we have to fix a car.
-I don't want us to be surprised, you know? -No.
Please, Freight Train,
be there waiting for us.
I hope we're not going to that, that auto truck repair place.
Oh, my God, I wish Freight Train was here.
You and me both.
The one man
that does know about cars is not here with us right now,
and that's Freight Train.
A big day.
Dirty Hands one win away from the $60,000 cash bonus
for winning the team competition.
But standing next to you is Savage Crew.
They're not gonna let you have it easy.
You are at the largest car recycling facility
in the United States.
This is where old cars come to die.
They're picked for their reusable parts,
drained of hazardous materials,
and then hauled away to have their metal recycled.
So, today your job is to actually bring a car
back to life.
As you can see, there are two cars here
that have a few parts missing. All the parts
you need to get these two cars up and running, you'll find
in this sea of junked cars.
When that work whistle blows, you're gonna go
into the mechanics' shed,
grab your set of tools,
and then look out for the work order,
right here. This work order tells you
exactly what you need to get the job done.
You've got to find a front bumper, headlights,
hood, front doors,
sliding door, taillights,
rear bumper, wheels,
seats and battery.
Finally, you need to hook up the battery,
because you've got to get your cars going
and smash through that wall.
I've been to the junkyard
a couple of times in my day.
I do feel strong about my knowledge of cars.
Going in, we want to get the win,
tie this thing up.
First team to get this car up and running
will win $12,000
-and today's Badge of Honor.
Savage Crew, if you win,
there will be a tiebreaker in the final team challenge.
Dirty Hands, unfortunately,
Freight Train is still in quarantine,
having left our COVID bubble to get medical attention.
Savage Crew, you know you have to sit somebody out.
Who's it gonna be?
-It's gonna be me. Merryl.
You come and join me. Dirty Hands,
you'll be on the mauve car over here,
and that means, Savage Crew,
you'll be working with this gold car.
It's a car challenge,
and none of us
have experience with cars, but...
we all have two hands, we all have two feet.
And we all have brains, so it's like,
you just figure out how to get it done.
Savage Crew, crew boss today is...?
-Scotty. Scott.
-Dirty Hands?
Zeus.
Ready to get the job done?
-Yes. Ready.
On the work whistle...
-Go, go, go!
Find me a driver's side slider.
Go, go, go!
Grab four ratchets and put 'em
-in the tool bag. -Grab some of these-- a flat
-and a Phillips. -Yep. Are there tires in there?
Remember, look. Look at everything.
For this challenge,
we're going to be building
back up a van from scrap parts.
Find tires!
And the goal is to get it running,
so you can actually drive it
through a wall.
Everything they need to get these cars roadworthy
is in this sea of cars.
Relax and find it.
If you can't find it, go to something else.
Come on, Savage Crew!
Put the pressure on them!
Don't stop the pressure!
Oh, this has got to be hard for Merryl.
She's got to sit by and watch her team.
-Sarah! -Here. Right here, right here, right here.
Driver's side slider? -Yep.
It's not unlocking?
Right here. Right there. -This'll work.
Let's go.
Angel! Liz!
-Right here. Take one.
What do you got? You got the tires? Perfect.
Angel with two tires.
And Knuckles with a third!
And here's Celi, who's got one for Savage Crew.
Wow.
Yes, Celi! You got this.
I'll throw the sockets in there.
Iraida and Zeus are working on getting their tools ready.
Scott, on the other hand, hard at work right now
-on the sliding door. This thing is stripped.
The sliding door is the most difficult part
to take off and put on.
That hinge has to go down.
Dirty Hands working on the front seats.
Iraida, do you have a 9/16 socket?
Yep. Check the hinge.
My attitude in the landscaping challenge was garbage.
I got quiet, I didn't say anything
to my teammates...
Celi, I need your help!
Just taking off the last bolt, so...
Okay. Okay, what do you need me to do?
-Hold this up. -Okay.
We need to get back to where
we're all working together,
and that's what... that's what we have to
do today to get the win.
That's it.
Scott, now moving with Celi,
has the sliding door.
One-two, one-two, one-two.
All right, I got a, got a driver's seat, guys.
I'll be back. Just keep working.
Zeus has a seat in his hands.
Throws it over his shoulder.
Making it look easy.
Take it, take it, take it.
Take it back and start putting it in.
Here comes Swifty with a back seat for his team.
So far, Savage Crew have found eight of their 19 parts,
and installed one.
Dirty Hands, meanwhile, have found ten parts,
and installed two of them.
Not just a matter of getting the parts--
you also need all the bolts to attach it to the car.
And now, Dirty Hands working on the sliding door.
Heh. This is mine.
This is mine.
No.
Angel.
Come help me take this off.
I'm trying to-- I can't-- I don't know what I'm...
what I'm holding on-- I can't, I can't take this out.
I got a battery, too.
Does this need to come out?
Are we doing things we don't need to do?
'Cause we don't have the instructions.
-I don't need instructions. -You might not, Zeus, but...
I do.
I need a screwdriver.
I'm like, "Damn, this sucks," because...
nobody knows what to do.
I need a... I need a thing.
I need a tool.
Oh, relax, bro. Relax, Angel.
Oh, Lord.
Everybody's freaking out.
Everyone is like, "Yo, what do I do?
What do I do?"
Where's the instructions?
We need to bring the instructions, guys.
Bring me back a screwdriver!
We don't need instructions. It's four bolts.
Hey! Zeus!
-Oh, I got it. Never mind. I got it. Uh, Angel!
-I got it. I got this. -It's right here.
-Oh, you got... -Come on.
-Okay. -I just told you that.
It's a big mess, basically.
Celi's trying to get a headlamp out.
I got the back seat out and ready.
Scott, I got...
the lights out.
-You want me to carry the back seat? Take it.
-Take it, take it, take it, take it. Carry the back seat.
It doesn't matter what challenge it is.
I'm always finding a way
to get the job done,
so I stuffed the lights in my shirt,
and then I pick up this car seat, and I'm running down
with the car lights in my shirt.
Oh, Celi coming back with one of the back seats.
Workload huge from her today.
-Back? -Carry it back.
And I got them down there safely.
And some extra cushions.
She was carrying the headlamps
and the seat at one time.
Dirty Hands yet to get that sliding door off.
Ah, man.
I was working on the... the sliding door.
I basically took
all the screws off.
The top two were the last ones.
They don't seem to be communicating
like they were during the landscaping challenge.
Hey, what side sliding door was it?
Was it even that left side?
I don't know.
Oh, boy.
So, at that point, I go back to the van
to make sure everything's in the right orientation.
Now Zeus running back with nothing in his hands.
And that's when I realized
it's not even the correct side.
Come on. You can't be serious.
Like, seriously?
Swifty deep in
-the sea of cars...
...still trying to get that door off.
Somebody got to come get this. I can't get this damn bolt.
-Where's Scotty? -Let's go!
Dirty Hands, they're great competitors,
and we cannot afford to be idle.
We have to keep moving and keep the momentum,
because $60,000 is on the line.
Angel coming back with his head through the window,
-carrying a door. Keep it moving, Savage Crew!
Here's a chance for Dirty Hands to catch up.
That's not it.
Swifty lost. He's not sure what to do.
You got the left door off or not?
No. I can't get this boy to turn.
You got it? You got it? No.
We got to get that bolt. I can't get it.
Here. Come here, come here.
Right there.
No, that's not gonna get it out.
That's not gonna get it.
I don't know if I can just rip that out.
Come on, you guys! No.
Let's go! Not yet.
The hell?
Come on.
How you feeling about this, Merryl?
Too close to tell right now.
It's not hooked on that side.
It's precious time ticking away,
and-and we need to get it solved right now.
We're spending too much time on this door.
Everything you need to get your cars up and running
is out there in the yard.
You've got to get a front bumper, headlamps,
hood, front doors,
sliding door, taillights, rear bumper,
wheels, seats and battery.
First team to put all the parts together
and drive their car through the wall gets the win.
Dirty Hands one win away
from becoming the overall team champions
and winning the 60,000 cash bonus prize,
but Savage Crew do not want to let it happen.
Do we need to find different doors, Sarah,
on a different car?
The driver's-side door is giving us an issue.
Sarah can't get one little screw out in the middle.
She's trying to rip it off.
-There we go. What'd you use?
-I used the impact gun and... Wait.
It's on here right now. That's what I used.
I got it. I got it.
All right, what do we got left, Scott?
Lights, hood. A hood.
Scott coming back with one of the front doors.
Celi!
Angel putting in a rear seat for Dirty Hands.
Lift up your side and bring it in.
Now hold that right there.
Hold it up.
Good job, guys. Good job.
Savage Crew are definitely
putting the pressure on Dirty Hands today.
Scott's over there putting in stuff already.
Somebody needs to start building a car.
Look at Celi and Swifty
working together to get this front door on.
I'm working on something. Just get it out,
and we'll work on the car together.
Okay, okay. I'll go see what I can do.
A lot of deliberation.
We didn't see this in the last team challenge.
Scott, Sarah-- both of them
working from either side of the hood.
Meanwhile, Swifty and Celi working on a door.
-Celi, go get the battery. -I'll get it.
Look.
Look. Over here.
Take this.
I got the first seat.
Angel, where you been?
No, no. You're wrong. You're wrong.
You took first seat over.
-I'm gonna go check right now. -Come on, man. Seriously?
I don't know what seat I took. That-that wasn't it.
Angel running back with nothing in his hands.
A lot of wasted trips from Dirty Hands today.
What do we have left in here?
Uh, all right. Two seats are installed.
Just one back seat.
Angel!
Cannot stay over there, man.
Iraida's the only member of Dirty Hands
working in the graveyard.
Oh, you need a hood, too, right?
Angel! I can't do this by myself.
The rest of Dirty Hands working on their car,
and they still don't have all the parts.
I was working on the front doors,
and I was taking 'em out,
but I needed help flushing it,
like, lifting it up to flush
so I can take the other nuts out.
Come on, come on, come on. This is not cool.
Iraida, we got the front seats. -You're killing me, dude.
You're seriously killing me right now.
You can't just leave me.
We need two front doors, Angel!
I know nothing about cars.
Like, I'm not a mechanic or nothing like that.
And we're all, like, under pressure.
A lot of money's on the line.
I need help. You don't need to stay over there and help them.
I need you here.
I got the door ready. It needs to come out.
Savage Crew's car looking more roadworthy by the second.
Scott is being a great crew boss,
giving very clear instructions to his team.
I need a Phillips-head screwdriver right now.
Night and day compared to their last team challenge.
Do not stop.
Savage Crew found all the 19 parts
they need for their car.
Just a matter of installing them to get the job done.
Go, Savage Crew, go!
Meanwhile, Dirty Hands still searching for parts.
What do we got left? -Headlights!
Headlights. Right here, right here.
Let's go. Get the headlights,
-and then put the tires in. -Okay, okay.
You got it? You got it?
Let's go, Savage Crew!
Great job, Swifty. Way to keep moving.
They're getting down to the final details.
Battery! Come on.
-That goes in right there. -Perfect.
I think they're-they're... they're really ahead of us.
I don't know how to do it. This is why we need to have
the people who are taking it apart put it back together.
It just doesn't look like Dirty Hands
have got it together today.
Where am I going? What way? This way.
They seem to be lost.
They look aimless.
Yeah, we need Iraida, 'cause whoever took this off
knows how it goes.
Just wanted everybody to stick together, but...
right from the get-go, everybody's lost.
What do you got? What do you got?
Scott's reviewing the work order to make sure
everything is where it needs to be.
Back seats, slider, doors, seats.
What do we got left? -They are very close to finishing this job.
All we need is tires. Let's start the tires.
You're quicker than me with this. I know you are.
I don't know a lot about engines and stuff,
but I've had my fair share of some lemons.
When you have a lemon and you ain't got no money,
you got to fix what you got.
-Where's our, uh... -I got tools here, baby.
-I've got one right here. -Oh, here.
I'll grab it. I'll grab it.
This is just like me at work
with my fellow nurses
when we're having a medical emergency.
Here you go, Sarah.
Tire iron stat!
Lug nuts, five! Now, stat!
Just loosely put 'em on there,
and I'm gonna tighten 'em up, okay?
Savage Crew literally tightening the bolts
on Dirty Hands as they get their wheels on.
Good job, Swifty! Good job!
Final stages for Savage Crew.
-They want redemption. Keep the pressure!
This is it. Tire's on!
Let's go. Let's go.
They worked like lightning today.
Come on, come on, come on. That's it.
Down comes the car. -Get 'em out of there.
That is how you do it!
Pop it again!
Yes! Yeah!
Savage Crew getting in the car.
Savage Crew...
-Eat my dust! Let's go!
...keep their hopes alive.
Yeah!
Here we go!
-Yeah! -Yeah!
Savage Crew, baby!
Yeah!
What's good?!
You got to be kidding me, right?
Serious, dude?
One, two, three!
Savage Crew!
It's not over.
Wow, I am so impressed.
Crew boss Scott, can you just walk us through
how you did that?
Because I'm taking a look at
Dirty Hands' car, and it does look a little bit like your
-landscaping job the other day.
We knew we could do better than that.
We were talking, we were communicating,
and that's how we're supposed to be as a team.
I want my kids
to take away from my experience
you can have ups and downs. You might explode
and not have your best moments.
You hold on to things from your past.
It's hard to completely get rid of
things that you've gone through before.
But you can learn.
You can come out a better person, you can learn
every single day, every single challenge, how to be better.
Today, super competitive.
Savage Crew said they were coming back.
They had that look in their eye.
You gotta hand it to them.
From day one, we've actually had conversations in our van.
"As long as it's not cars. Oh, but we have Freight Train."
You know, 'cause, you know, he worked with race cars.
-So you were missing Freight Train? Yeah.
As soon as I came in here, I was like...
Freight Train was our car guy and we wish he was here.
He's a huge asset to our team, and I miss him.
We all miss him.
And there's one more team challenge left.
It hopefully has nothing to do with animals and cars.
Savage Crew.
Scott, crew boss, I got $12,000 for you.
-Thank you, sir. -That is yours.
And today's Badge of Honor.
One more team challenge.
The next one wins the $12,000 for the next job,
and the $60,000 bonus; $72,000.
-Whoo! -It's gonna go to the winner of the final team challenge.
-That's some life-changing money. -Yep.
But first we have the individual competition coming up.
You guys got your hands dirty today.
They're gonna get even dirtier tomorrow.
How's your sugar, Sarah?
You all right.
It's a little low. -Oh, yeah, it is a little low.
Sometimes when we compete, I know Sarah's blood sugar
is, like, extremely low.
And it's just nice to see someone with
type 1 diabetes in a competition like this,
pushing through and helping us win these challenges.
Type 1 doesn't mean you can't do stuff.
-Right. -Yeah.
You inspire me, you push me.
You work your butt off, and I hope you win.
I do, I do.
I'm representing every type 1.
It's a hard thing to deal with on a daily basis.
It's never gonna go away.
-I'm at 60. Slow. -What's that mean?
Yeah, I call the doctor when it's 70.
-I will have to call the doc... -You call the doctor when it's 70?
-Yeah. -Girl, you'd be calling every day
-and be on speed dial.
Being a type 1 diabetic, you have to maintain.
If you don't, your organs are gonna start to fail,
you'll lose limbs.
It's something that you have to worry about all the time.
The amount of times I give myself insulin
could be anywhere between
three times, up to ten times a day.
I've had friends that pass away in their sleep.
You have to set your alarm,
wake up in the middle of the night,
make sure you're okay. Every day,
you're gonna have your lows, you're gonna have your highs.
It's hard. It is.
Some people make you seem like you're-you're fragile.
But you're not fragile.
There's no reason not to go out there
and do what you can to make a living.
-Morning. -Good morning, Phil!
Guys, make yourself comfortable in the back of the truck.
My, you guys look good in coveralls.
We are getting down to it.
Only six of you left in the individual competition.
By the end of the day,
we will be down to our final five.
Only one of you will be crowned Tough As Nails champion.
Have you started to think about what that would mean, Swifty?
That's the only thing I say to myself
"I'm the Tough As Nails champion."
I don't see it any other way.
I have a lot of love
for my teammates,
but I know that at the end of the day,
they're gonna try to knock me out.
We're competing to win the ultimate prize,
and I'm not gonna just give it to anybody.
Your job today is to collect
15 quarts of oil from the cars that you see around you.
Now, the average car has between five and eight quarts of oil.
The key is picking a car that has a big engine, and then
cross your fingers that there's a lot of oil in it.
You'll collect the oil on your drip pan.
You gotta slide the drip pan from underneath the car,
and then you've got to precariously
balance this drip pan with the oil, like this,
back here, to fill up 15 quarts.
Just to be clear, this is not the most efficient way
to get oil from a car.
But being tough is about using ingenuity
and getting the job done,
even if you don't have the right tools.
Why are you wearing coveralls
do you think this morning, Sarah?
'Cause, uh, my blueberry is gonna become blackberry.
-You got that right. -Mm-hmm.
I think we're gonna be messy.
I feel like the blueberry in Willy Wonka.
We're gonna get this job done as fast as you possibly can,
because, as you know, the last two of you
to collect the 15 quarts of oil will be going into overtime.
If you finish last in the overtime,
you'll be punching out.
When I was a kid, my dad always
wanted me to learn how to change oil.
And I'd basically be in the house like,
"Nah, I don't want to change oil, Dad.
I just want to play video games."
Man, I should have paid attention.
On the work whistle!
-♪
There they go.
I can't get my... bolt off.
The job is to collect enough oil so it
fills up these cylinders to the black mark.
The oil plug is the large, easy-to-access nut
at the bottom of the engine.
Last two of you to complete the job
will be going into overtime.
Who do you think is gonna come back first with a pan?
Scott. -Now, that pan, that's hard to carry.
Come on, Sarah!
I've done oil changes before and everything,
so I'm comfortable with today's challenge.
I know where to find the plug.
All I need is a 14 or 18 bit
to take the plug out.
The strategy is pretty simple; just keep trying to find
as much oil as possible.
Find the big cars.
I know how to find the plug to drain the oil, so...
-I feel pretty confident. -Scott's got a good flow of oil
going into his pan.
You know, I'm not great with hand tools.
I'm having trouble with the socket wrenches.
The bolts are different sizes.
Some cars are foreign, so they're metric.
The bolts are so tight, I just cannot
for the life of me get them loose.
Every car is different!
This is a tough challenge for me
because I don't know what I'm doing.
But every day I go to work,
I learn something new, and that's what I love about it.
So today I'm gonna stay positive,
I'm gonna give it my best.
Iraida's moving over to a different car.
Damn, Swifty.
-That's a V-8. That's a V-8.
Ah, Sarah had to switch cars, too.
There's Scott. I told you!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
He didn't say anything about not doing that.
It's starting to get me to be a little panicky.
I decide to just steal from Scott's car. I'm thinking,
"Oh, this will calm me down."
I just filled up a pan from the car that
he had made nice and loose for me.
The goal is always to beat Scott.
I see Liz's game. She stole my oil.
It's fair game. No rule against that.
-Scott with the first pour. Good job, Scotty.
Nice. Nice, Scott.
Looks like Zeus has got a panful of oil.
Swifty-- Oh! And he loses a lot of it.
That's a hazard; we're gonna have to clean that up.
On the way back to dump,
I lose maybe 70% of it.
This is gonna be difficult.
Careful... Careful!
Zeus with the pour.
-Oh, that's a lot. That is a lot of oil right there.
-Oh, damn. -Oh! Bad pour at the end.
-Zeus! -It's all good. It's all good.
Just lost at least a quarter. Zeus!
Here comes Swifty. The pan is twisting on him.
Come on, Sarah!
-Swift, get back. -Swift, take your time.
Take your time. A nice pour.
I finally find some cars
that people had already, um, taken oil out of.
Sorry, but it's about me today.
I have to do what I have to do for me.
Zeus, second load but it's not much.
Sarah coming back and Knuckles coming back
at exactly the same time.
The pan, it kind of, it twists a little bit.
You had to pour at a steady pace and maneuver it a little bit
to make sure you didn't lose a bunch of oil.
Not one drop of oil has spilled out.
The only person to not have any oil is Iraida.
I see everyone else, I'm like, "I'm beating everybody."
But one slipup is gonna mess me up.
So I'm really just trying to focus.
Scott back with another pan.
Here he comes. Oh, Scott's spilling, but...
-All in the pour-- oh! Oh!
And he just loses half of the pan.
Iraida with her first pour.
-Don't want to waste that-- one drop of it. -Be careful pouring it!
Oh! It's spilling over the sides! Oh, my God!
No!
I just wasted a lot of oil.
It took me a while to get,
so...
Let's go, Iraida.
That wasn't bad at all.
Let's go!
Hit that jackpot!
Excuse me, excuse me. Oh, we're empty.
Damn it, no oil.
Swifty way behind.
Pick it up, Swift!
Pick it up, Swifty!
Sarah coming back now.
Damn, this is close.
Not a lot of difference
between Scott, Zeus and Sarah.
Anyone's game at this point.
Can Scott take the lead with this pour?
I'm here to win every challenge that's put in front of me.
If you want it, you got to beat me.
With this pour, he's taken the lead.
I've hit the mother lode,
and it's, I mean, it's gushing out.
I'm feeling more confident.
My line was getting equal to Scott and Zeus.
Zeus has got the lead now.
Slow and steady, Sarah. All of a sudden,
I look up and I'm like, "Okay, I'm there."
Sarah taking the lead.
She's only a few drops away from winning this.
Oh, and Scott goes down.
He's feeling the pressure from Sarah.
Sarah, just a little bit.
-Just a little. Just a little bit.
Come on, Sarah. Come on, Sarah.
Does Zeus have enough to finish the job?
Not quite yet.
Let's go, Sarah!
Here comes Sarah. She's looking for the win.
-The blueberry that turned into the blackberry.
Does she enough to get the job done?
-Yeah!
Only needing millimeters.
Yes, baby!
And Sarah gets the win!
-Touched the line.
I feel disgusting right now, but, you know,
I'm excited about winning the whole thing. Let's go.
-Come on, girl. During the challenge,
I was starting to get to the point
where my blood sugar was low, but your numbers
are always gonna be up and down, up and down.
You just got to push through it and get out there and work hard.
One down, five to go.
And remember, the last two going into overtime.
Scott, let's go!
Sarah absolutely killed it.
She doesn't stop working.
She's been on my radar since the beginning.
That makes me nervous.
A little bit.
Yeah, you're done. You're done.
-That's it. Nice.
Scott is done.
Gets to second place, he's out of overtime.
You're done. -And Zeus gets the job done.
Would I have liked to come in first?
Yeah. Always, you know?
But overall, I'm here for the $200,000.
I have a dangerous job, and if I can secure
my family now while I'm still here,
it just gives me that sense of security.
Only three remain.
Let's go, Swifty!
I went into overtime the first challenge,
and I don't want that again.
If I got to, you know, give 100,000%,
that's what I got to do to avoid overtime.
I need one more pan, and I'm having trouble finding
where I'm gonna get it from, and-and the pressure's on.
Down to just three.
Even harder to strike oil.
Lot of empty engines out there.
Come on! -Iraida, let's go!
Let's go!
Come on, Swifty!
Knuckles, where are you?
It's coming down to Swifty, Iraida and Knuckles.
Two of you going into overtime.
Iraida, let's go! This is hard.
Let's go, Swifty! Come on, you guys,
-come on! Yes. Okay.
I do know that Swifty's under the car right next to me.
I start to panic a little bit.
We're just, we're neck and neck.
Swifty and Knuckles
just a pour away from finishing.
This will be a race to the finish.
Come on, Knuckles!
Let's go, Swifty!
Swifty is the first to run back. Does he have enough?
Knuckles right behind him.
-Come on, Swift. -Slow down.
Let's go, Swifty! Let's go, Swifty!
This is gonna come down
-to the pour. -Oh, my God!
Let's go, Swift. -Two people
are gonna be going into overtime.
-Knuckles, you got it. -Slow down.
You got it, Knuckles!
It's all on the pour.
-And Swifty gets it done.
-Yeah!
-Swifty!
I feel good.
Made it, uh, just by the skin of my teeth.
The ultimate goal for me is to make it to the finals.
I want to be the one at the end that wins Tough As Nails.
I want to be the champ.
Knuckles and Iraida will be going
into overtime.
I'm going to overtime by a photo finish.
I'm going against Iraida-- you know, I love her.
We've got each other's backs whatever happens.
But I'm gonna give it my all, I'm gonna try and beat her.
Iraida wants to get the job done.
Good job, Iraida.
It was a hot mess for me today.
And now I'm going into overtime against Knuckles.
I know how strong she is,
and I know how determined she is, just like me.
I have a lot of love and respect for her,
but now I have to focus on me.
And let the best woman win.
-Good job.
All right, congratulations, everybody.
Iraida and Knuckles, you will be going into overtime,
fighting it out to try to stay
in this Tough As Nails individual competition.
Before the sun sets today, one of you will be punching out.
-I'll see you in overtime.
We all came here to compete for our families.
I'm here for them.
Before I had my son, it was just my mother and I.
Sometimes she had three jobs to make sure
we had an amazing roof over our head.
Now it's my job to repay her for everything she did for me.
I'm here to win money for my family.
I'm here to prove myself.
I'm learning about myself throughout this competition
because I've been a cement mason for eight years now.
I don't have these moments where I'm faced
with something I've never done before.
So I am learning a lot about how I function
with something new, and I think I'm evolving.
I want to make it to that top five.
Iraida and Knuckles, since you were the last
to finish recycling the oil,
it means you are going into overtime.
One of you will stay in the individual competition,
the other one will be punching out.
So you know you're at a pick-a-part,
and you know what's great about a pick-a-part?
Nothing on any of these cars goes to waste.
But the thing is, here you have to use tools
to get the parts that you need.
That's your job today.
I need you to take three parts off these engines.
The first part, the flywheel.
Helps to keep your engine balanced.
Second part, the exhaust manifold.
Collects all the exhaust from the cylinders
and then that goes out into the exhaust at the back of the car.
And the third part, oil pan.
-And what does the oil pan do?
It holds the oil?
-It holds the oil.
That wasn't a trick question.
-Sorry, I'm like "What..." That's okay.
All the tools you need to get the job done
are inside your tool kits.
The first person to put all three parts
onto these workbenches
will be safe and stay in the individual competition.
-Get to your stations. I have never worked on a car before.
This isn't an area where I have any knowledge or confidence.
I know Iraida has more experience with these tools.
So I'm not looking forward to this one.
Let's go cherry-picking.
-Come on, let's go.
-Let's go, you two. -Let's go, ladies.
The first thing I'm thinking is,
"I'm gonna take the flywheel off."
All the bolts are on the outside,
and it's gonna be easier to take off.
Both working on the flywheel first.
I'm gonna try something here.
Let's go, ladies. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Give it a second, think about it.
Think about what you need.
Both Iraida and Knuckles have taken the first bolt
out of their flywheel.
Let's go, Knuckles.
As long as they stay calm, they'll be fine.
It feels like watching two sisters
going at-- up against each other.
They're both great moms, they're both strong women,
they're both hungry, they know what's at stake.
Good work, good work. I hear those bolts falling.
-I hear those bolts falling. Good job, you guys.
Knuckles, using a Crescent to get some leverage
and pulls the flywheel off.
First part done for Knuckles.
-Good job, Knuckles.
I did panic a bit in the beginning,
but I feel like I'm learning as I'm going along.
It's not too complicated. You know, I'm feeling good.
Knuckles going for the oil pan.
-Keep going, Iraida. Go, Iraida.
When I do something that I've never done before,
I get scared and I panic.
That little doubt kicks in, and just sitting there,
just waiting to pop out and be like, "Ha, ha."
-Come on.
I just have to keep talking to myself
and start motivating myself.
Got to keep going till the job is done.
Hit it hard! Hit it hard!
There you go.
-Iraida gets her first part off. -Good job, Iraida.
Now Iraida and Knuckles working on their second part.
Move, Iraida.
Iraida's looking for the right socket.
They are neck and neck.
That socket is too big.
Iraida working away with the socket wrench, back and forth.
-Put the pressure on. -Okay, okay!
Iraida, quickly getting the job done.
There you go, there you go.
That's how you use it.
This is giving me problems.
I can't get the last nut out of the oil pan.
My nerves are kicking in gear.
Why? Why?
I'm getting frustrated, I'm talking to the engine,
like it can hear me.
Iraida's asking her engine,
"Why, why, why?" and the engine is not answering her.
That's because it's an engine.
-Phil's like...
-Phil. -Phil.
Come on, you got to be kidding me.
There's one stubborn bolt left
to take that oil pan off.
I get the oil pan mostly done
and I just sort of get stuck.
And I have gotten in my own way in other challenges,
so I'm just trying to remember, if I get flustered, to stop.
Take a deep breath, refocus myself.
Knuckles, leaving the oil pan,
now getting onto the exhaust manifold.
That's what I'm gonna do.
And Iraida doing the same thing.
There you go, Knuckles.
Good idea. There you go, Knuckles.
My plan is to move on,
tackle the exhaust manifold,
and then hopefully get that off and be able to come back
with a fresh take on the situation.
Oil pan is stuck on there.
Keep going, keep moving.
-Let's go, ladies. -Come on.
Think about what you're doing, think about every step.
Knuckles wrestling with that engine.
Both Iraida and Knuckles have one part off their engine.
They've got to get three.
Let's go, you two.
Yo. For real?
Iraida going back to her tool kit.
What is she looking for now?
I wasn't sure what kind of sockets
I needed.
I don't know.
I just started bringing everything out of my toolbox,
I'm putting it on my table,
I'm just taking out the sizes that I thought it was.
Knuckles has picked up the speed.
Let's go. Let's go, ladies. Let's go.
-Figure it out. Figure it out, you two. -Let's go!
Figure it out.
Where is the socket that I have for the top?
-Calm down, Iraida. -No, I...
I had so much going on on my table.
It was a hot mess. I know, I had a hot mess going on.
Calm down. -Where is my small socket?
Could it be on the workbench?
If I took the other ones off with this one,
why do I have to go to the other one?
-I don't understand. Calm down.
-Calm down. Deep breath.
-Deep breath. There, it's there. Nope.
-Calm down. -Where is my small socket?
-It's not there. -Calm down. Calm down.
It's there, it's there. Come on.
Don't give up,
-don't give up, ladies. -Three parts off this engine
-and the job is done. -Bomba.
So far, each of them have only taken off the flywheel.
There are two parts left, the exhaust manifold
and the oil pan.
Come on, Iraida. Don't give up, don't give up.
Come on.
I finally found the socket
so I feel, like, relieved, because now that I know
that I have the socket, now I can move faster.
Yes. There you go.
-Yes. Oh, my God. -Keep it up, Iraida.
Keep it up, Iraida.
-Yeah? Hey, now. Hey...
Knuckles has got one of her bolts
now coming off the exhaust manifold.
There you go. There you go.
Iraida is-- looks like she's a mechanic
the way she's working through this.
Good work, Iraida. Come on, Knuckles.
-Keep it going. Iraida's just got
a little bit of a lead on me,
but I'm right behind her.
Come on, you two.
Come on, come on, come on!
Knuckles and Iraida giving it everything.
Okay!
Manifold is off for Iraida. -There you go!
She has the second part off.
Now going back to the oil pan.
-One bolt left. There you go.
-There you go. There you go. Hey.
There you go, there you go. Yes.
There you go.
Here comes Knuckles.
Go, Knuckles. Go, Knuckles!
Knuckles with the second part, the exhaust manifold.
Let's go, Knuckles.
We're down to a couple of bolts.
-Just so close.
Iraida grabbing the oil pan.
And Iraida gets the win!
-Wepa.
Good job, girl. -Good job.
You got to keep going. You got a lot going on.
Sometimes I doubt myself.
But overcoming the two overtimes
proved to me that I can do this.
Good job.
And for all those that doubted me
to say that I'm not good enough, I'm here to show you
that I am.
Whoa. That was intense.
A dramatic finish, Iraida.
Today, you've survived.
You are still in the individual competition.
You still have a chance of winning
the Tough As Nails title.
Iraida has tears in her eyes.
-That's my girl. -Yeah?
Yeah. I lo...
Aw...
I don't want to see any of them get knocked out.
Iraida, her mind is stronger than 80%
of the men that I work with.
And Knuckles, even when she was pregnant,
she was still working.
They're amazing people.
I have so much love for her.
Sometimes, you know, you meet people in life
and you know, you just click.
Y-You know it's real, it's no fakeness.
After this, we have a friendship to continue.
And we have team and it's gonna keep going.
You know, that next team competition,
I'm gonna be ready to go for these guys.
I'm gonna leave it all on the field.
Dirty Hands, you got her back?
Always.
-100%. -150%.
-Got it? -We have more reason,
we have to push more, we're more hungry,
to make sure she goes home with more money.
Knuckles, unfortunately,
you are out of the individual competition,
and I do need you to punch out.
I feel like I'm walking away
with a little bit more confidence.
There were challenges that were very hard for me.
By the end of all those challenges,
I had figured it out.
Someday when my son Seamus looks back
and watches this show, I want him
to see nobody is born excellent at everything.
Lean into the areas where you're not as strong,
because you can do anything you put your mind to.
Enjoy the night. And I'll see you
-for the next team competition.
Knuckles punching out, I was surprised.
But Iraida did an amazing job.
I mean, the girl can bring it.
Strong women.
Iraida's like a silent achiever.
Uh, she comes in there without you realizing it
and just blows it away.
It's gonna be a tough competition.
-Sorry... -Thank you. Oh, yeah.
-Good job. -Thank you. Thank you.

This is the tiebreaker.
This will decide who takes home
the $60,000.
Everybody here is very serious today.
I cut too far, man.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this?
Angel is exhausted.
Yo, my back. My back. -No!
-Work from the bottom to the top.
Everybody wants it. It's gonna be a fight.
Swifty's slipping on the roof.
I'm trying to stay out of overtime.
Whoa!
