PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously onTough As Nails...
Dirty Hands dug deep
and brought the team score to 4-2.
Dirty Hands with the win!
-Yeah! -Leaving Savage Crew
knee-deep in mud and mayhem.
-[laughter] -SARAH: I don't know
why we're celebrating the loss.
I, really-- I'm speechless on that.
KEOGHAN: And in the individual competition...
HANGER: Go, go, go, go.
KEOGHAN: Speed and efficiency, key factors to this job.
-ELIZABETH: My hip is out. -KEOGHAN: Elizabeth's down.
KELSY: Everybody, give it your all.
KEOGHAN: ...Lia picked her way to victory.
KEOGHAN: And Lia gets the win!
While two of her Dirty Hands teammates
had to battle it out in a harrowing overtime.
This is gonna be close.
Christine fell behind and punched out.
Tonight, with Dirty Hands just one win away from being
overall team champions, it's do or die for Savage Crew.
Both teams are neck and neck.
-SARAH: Eight is not there. -That's not right!
KEOGHAN: In the individual competition...
Each of you is going to set up a DJ station.
...it's a mash-up,
as the remaining seven are left spinning.
You do not want to get cut from the individual competition.
Who can turn in a win and avoid punching out?
No.
This is Tough As Nails.
♪
♪ I'm tough as nails.♪
LIA: All right, guys, this is the day.
One more win. We need one more win.
Today is the day where we give it absolutely everything.
JEROME: Everything.
Dirty Hands is up 4-2.
We need to win one more challenge
to win that $60,000 cash bonus prize.
We're absolutely determined
to get that fifth Badge of Honor.
We're just going in guns blazing,
all of our heart, all of our soul.
QUINCEY: It's a big deal for me. Y'all heard the story
about my high school career and all,
and how I wasn't able to help my team advance.
And, you know, I-I get-- I get another shot.
-Mm. -You know what I mean? So...
We're Quincey's football team.
This is where I'll get my redemption, right here today.
-Yeah. -KALIMBA: I-I'm a fullback.
What are you, Jerome? A quarterback?
Water boy.
-Water boy? -[laughter]
It's game time, baby.
KELSY: It's four to two,
and it's all or none right now.
ELIZABETH: Yeah, because I think what caused the issue
last challenge, we got really spread out.
HANGER: You're right, our strength
is our sticking together as one.
Absolutely.
Savage Crew will come together today.
We have to.
I think my team has their heads in the game
coming into this challenge
because our backs are against the wall.
We need to win the next three team competitions.
So we're coming out fighting.
Let's make today happen.
-Good morning, Phil! -KEOGHAN: Good morning.
If you look up ahead, you will see the Wiltern.
-LIA: Wow. -MIKE: Oh, man.
KELSY: Holy cow.
KEOGHAN: Built back in 1931,
-beautiful art deco building. -TAK: Wow.
KELSY: That's Hollywood.
Holy cow, look at these doors.
KEOGHAN: Have a look at this.
KELSY: Wow, look at that ceiling.
ALFIE: Yeah, this is nuts, man.
JEROME: Whoa, this architecture is crazy, bro.
-Check that out. -Whoa.
CONTESTANTS: Wow.
KEOGHAN: Think of any major performer
in the last 90 years,
and chances are they've performed on this stage.
Before any performer can get up on that stage,
there's a lot of hard work that has to take place.
The people that do that work are commonly referred to as roadies.
Let's raise that fire curtain.
And guess who's waiting for you.
Tim and Oz, both production riggers.
They are the ones that do all the hard work
setting up the shows,
and they're gonna be watching your work.
Did you ever think you'd be performing at the Wiltern?
-No. -[laughter]
KEOGHAN: Your job today
is you are going to set up a lighting grid.
Just like you would see at a rock concert.
KALIMBA: I have some experience working this field.
My dad's a reggae musician.
I have helped doing
the miking for the sound,
and mainly, picking up at the end of the night
while they all sat at the bar.
KEOGHAN: There are two trucks out back
filled with steel truss, tools
and all the lights and cables you need.
Step one is to build a structure using trusses,
like the ones that you see out on the stage there.
Step two, you will then have to put the lights
in the correct positions according to this plan.
-We got this. -And the man
who will be making sure your lights
are correctly placed on the truss,
our lighting director Sean.
SEAN: My role is to confirm
that you have hung the lights in the right spot
and that they come on in the right sequence.
And that's how the challenge ends today.
Remember, you win today's challenge,
-you get $12,000... -[applause]
...and today's Badge of Honor.
This might be the most valuable Badge of Honor
that you have had to compete for so far
on Tough As Nails.
Dirty Hands have four of them.
If they get this one today, that'll be five wins,
making them the overall team champions.
They will be winning a cash bonus prize of $60,000.
They will win the team competition.
We're gonna go in this hard because we want that $60,000.
We're all hungry for it.
We don't want to let our foot off the gas,
and we're gonna try and take it today.
Savage Crew, it's not too late,
but you need to win today if you want
to keep your chances alive.
MIKE: I've been feeling like
I got a lot of weight on my shoulders.
I really haven't slept much.
You know, 'cause I picked the people
to be on Savage Crew, and I feel
like I'm responsible.
And then, hearing everybody's story,
and especially Sarah, you know?
Hearing the story about her grandfather
and what she wants to do for her nieces and nephews.
She gives me that drive, too.
KEOGHAN: Take a moment to figure out
who's gonna be the crew boss.
Sarah's good with everything that we need to keep organized.
KELSY: We have so much trust in Sarah.
She has great skills at planning.
You guys can do the wiring because y'all are both
familiar with circuits.
Telling people where they should go
and how to be as productive as possible.
-It's all or none, right here. -MIKE: Mm-hmm.
So I think Christine should be the crew boss.
-We fall in place when you're crew boss. -KALIMBA: Yeah, yeah,
-let's just do that. -Okay, that's fine. -LIA: We do.
JEROME: We're all, like, super excited,
like, we're like, "Finish this already."
We get that 60 grand,
we could make $72,000 today.
Let's get this for our families.
On the work whistle.
ALFIE: Communication, communication, communication
makes the team work,
and we don't have a choice but to win today.
[work whistle blows]
Go, go, go.
LIA: Go, Tak, go.
Go, go, go, go, go!
LIA: Our game plan is to get out to the truck
as fast as we can.
There's a tool bag,
-the truss... -KALIMBA: Put it on top. -Oh, yeah.
...and a cart full of cables that we need
for the power to the lights.
JEROME: Go, go, go.
KEOGHAN: Everybody, double-check your plans.
We need the ten-foot over there.
LIA: Make sure they're turned right. These are not right.
JEROME: They're wrong now, this is wrong.
-This is wrong. -This is wrong.
-SARAH: Remember, washer, one on each side. -HANGER: Yes.
-Yes. -Washer, one on each side.
KEOGHAN: Kelsy already starting to bolt the truss together.
Attention to detail is crucial.
-JEROME: Good job. You got it? -TAK: Yeah.
KEOGHAN: You have four different lengths of trusses to assemble:
four, six, eight and ten-feet sections.
You connect any of them in the wrong place,
you're gonna have to go back and fix it.
If ever there was a day to get it right, it's today.
CHRISTINE: That does not look like six feet. Double-check.
I do have some experience with trusses.
You know, in ironwork,
we use those between floors of a building...
-Eight-foot... -Eight-foot here.
...to link the exterior iron together.
Kelsy, that's not right.
KELSY: What do you mean? It's a triangle.
-This is not right. -SARAH: Alfie!
-Double-check prints. -ALFIE: I got an eight
and I got a six, perfect.
SARAH: We have Alfie,
superintendent in his real life,
who is really great with paying attention to detail.
So we're trusting him
to place everything correctly where it needs to go.
I need three sixes in the middle. I got them.
KEOGHAN: It's neck and neck,
but have both teams got their trusses together correctly?
CHRISTINE: This needs tightening.
-This middle? -Right there.
SARAH: Tighten, tighten, tighten.
-KEOGHAN: They are flying through this, Tim. -Yeah.
KEOGHAN: Both teams with all 12 pieces of truss in place.
Now tightening all 68 bolts.
-ALFIE: We're tight, we're tight. -SARAH: All right, let's go.
-Socket, socket, socket. -Jerome, Jerome.
Here, here. Go, go, go.
-That was it. -Check! Check!
Double-check, double-check.
KEOGHAN: Check.
Savage Crew looking for an inspection,
so they can lift their truss and start rigging their lights.
Dirty Hands still trying to finish up
to get their check done.
TIM: No.
KEOGHAN: Check no good
for Savage Crew, they've got to fix it.
SARAH: It's so nerve-racking, we need this win.
I think all of us kind of stopped breathing
for a minute, and we're just wondering
if we're able to correct that mistake quicker
than Dirty Hands gets the lead on us.
-All the way, all the way. -Okay, okay.
-OZ: You guys ready? -Yeah.
KEOGHAN: Now Dirty Hands looking for a check.
This is a crucial moment.
JEROME: Good?
No.
KEOGHAN: Oz says it's not correct.
-Check your plans. -JEROME: Check-check that middle.
ELIZABETH: We're a foot off.
HANGER: Go, go, go, go, go.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew have figured out
that their center truss is not square.
ALFIE: Right there.
Elizabeth gets the measuring tape,
it's six, this one's almost seven.
She's like, "We got to knock it back a foot."
So push it back, tighten it back up,
so we can request an inspection once again.
-HANGER: You got to go this way. There you go. -QUINCEY: Look.
-They're not in the triangle form. -TAK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-That one, that one. -KALIMBA: Undo it, undo it...
TAK: Come to find out one was upside down.
So we had to take that apart, flip it right side up,
and then reconnect it.
CHRISTINE: Make sure they're all going the same way.
-KALIMBA: It looks-- it's the right way. -HANGER: Okay, good.
-We're good. We're good on that. -KELSY: We're good. Check.
HANGER: We're good, we're good, we're good.
Check.
-JEROME: Go, go, go, go. -OZ: You ready?
-CHRISTINE: Yes. -JEROME: Ready.
KEOGHAN: Both teams looking for a check
at the same time.
OZ: Acceptable.
I'm just checking one more bolt, guys.
-HANGER: Good? -How we looking, Tim?
-TIM: They're all good. -The check is good for Savage Crew.
Dirty Hands' truss is good.
KEOGHAN: Closely followed by Dirty Hands,
who complete their first step.
Trusses going to working height now
so they can get their lights on.
ALFIE: Stay to your right, stay to your right.
HANGER: Okay, okay.
KEOGHAN: 24 lights need to go on these trusses.
Look where five is on there and place it.
Kelsy, myself and Hanger
start setting up
where the lights need to go
while Elizabeth
and Electro Man Mike are going to be taking care
of wiring the cables and getting them set up.
KEOGHAN: There are three different types of lights that need to go
onto the truss.
The exact positions are on the lighting plot.
14, 15, 16, 14, all this corner.
I just start calling out some numbers
and a specific corner just to get us started.
-What else we looking for? -CHRISTINE: Number 14.
It's gonna be a longer light like one of these.
MIKE: I work with wires.
If anything's in the wrong place,
it's not gonna turn on, or it's gonna blow up in your face.
So I just take my time and be precise
with where these wires need to go.
SARAH: Pay attention to where you're placing it, guys. Pay attention.
The front row all needs to flip.
It's facing the wrong way.
-Flip where? -Number seven, number two
and number one. Turn them.
Dirty Hands realizing that they've got
lights that are facing the wrong way.
-ELIZABETH: I've already got it. I've already got it. -What's that one, Kelsy?
I've already got it. It's hooked up all the way.
-Worry about a different one. -SARAH: Kelsy, wrong number.
-Eight. -SARAH: Eight is wrong.
-Eight is wrong. -It's right here.
-That's seven. Where you're at is seven. -It's not right!
-This is not right. -ELIZABETH: Just calm down.
What number is yours?
-ELIZABETH: It's eight. Right here. I told you. -ALFIE: It's already plugged in.
-ELIZABETH: I've got it right here. -That's wrong!
-Eight is not there. Elizabeth. -That's not right!
Look at the peg. It's not right.
You just unplugged it. I had it sitting here.
-I just plugged it in. Look. -This light is not where it's supposed to be!
-KELSY: This is not right! -ELIZABETH: Just calm down.
-I've got it right here. -KELSY: That's wrong!
This light is not where it's supposed to be!
Kelsy. Breathe.
KELSY: I was trying to address to Elizabeth
that the light was not in the right area.
-Is the light seven? -KELSY: Okay? Yeah.
-Cool. Is that one eight? -KELSY: Yes, that's right.
It was where it needed to be.
That was my mistake.
My emotions got the best of me, and I got a little loud.
Sarah, I got number two right here.
The beautiful thing about our team is that we're all leaders,
but you can only have so many lions in one den
before they start growling and biting.
-This is seven. -ALFIE: It's about $60,000.
[laughs]
Check the cords. Check the cords.
This is wrong here. Four and five.
-¿Qué? Qué? ¿Qué? Okay, get the five. -We need
an extension cord for five, and it goes back there.
The most difficult part of this challenge
is there's 24 different numbers,
so you got a lot of working parts.
This is number four. Thank God.
-Good catch, Lia. -Thank you.
-What else? -Let's get the banner.
Hanger rolling over like a stuntman.
Ready for a lighting check.
KEOGHAN: Lighting director is checking out the work
-for Dirty Hands. -SARAH: Check.
-Check. Check. -ALFIE: Check.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew have asked for a check.
They have to wait until the lighting director's
finished Dirty Hands' check.
Not a good check on Dirty Hands.
KEOGHAN: Double-check your lighting plot.
Now Savage Crew getting their first lighting check.
Not a good check on Savage Crew.
Give us a hint.
When they tell you, "Sorry,
it's not right,"
you have to start figuring out
what's not right. Tell us light. Tell us plug.
KEOGHAN: Check every light.
CHRISTINE: This one needs to move over.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands have found
a mistake and are looking to correct it.
-Need a check. -KALIMBA: Check. -SARAH: What number is that?
Nine.
That one should be over there.
KEOGHAN: And now Savage Crew.
They've found a mistake they need to fix.
Every second counts.
-SARAH: Please, God. -Check, check, check.
KEOGHAN: Check for Savage Crew.
Dirty Hands is still wrong.
CHRISTINE: Move that over here.
Move it over here.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew getting their second check.
Savage Crew is good to fly.
-Yeah! -KEOGHAN: Savage Crew good to fly.
Tighten this.
-[cheering] -Yeah! Yeah!
KEOGHAN: And Savage Crew takes the win.
SARAH: Love y'all.
MIKE: Savage Crew really needed to kick it up a notch,
and all of us stuck together today
like we said we were gonna.
We definitely need to win two more challenges
to get that 60,000 that we came here for.
Sarah, what does it mean to you today
to be the crew boss and to lead your team
to a much-needed victory?
SARAH: From the minute I walked in, um,
the first person I thought of was my gramps.
And, uh,
he used to talk about back in the day
when he wasn't even allowed in places like this.
[sniffles] So, for me to be
the first in my family to be in something,
you know, so incredible, I wanted it bad.
To be here, to get this win.
And I love my team for this.
JEROME: Yeah, Sarah!
[chuckles softly]
SARAH: My gramps always wanted, you know, greatness for me,
and there were opportunities that he wasn't afforded.
Now that I have those opportunities,
I want to make the most of all of them.
We did it. We pulled one out. All we got to do is two more.
Sarah, you made your grandfather proud.
You made your team proud.
$12,000
and today's Badge of Honor.
That goes to you. Congratulations.
Team score is now 4-3 to Dirty Hands.
We got a competition on our hands now.
I mean, they are not gonna just hand that money over to you.
-Yeah. -JEROME: Nobody like losing. Come on.
But I got to shake this off.
Imua.Move forward
and-and-and go for the next one 'cause we still in the lead.
And you know what happens next.
We go back to the individual competition.
There's only seven of you left.
In the end, there will be
only one Tough As Nailschampion.
It's starting to heat up.
All right, everybody. Get some rest.
See you back here tomorrow.
Oz, Tim and Sean, thank you.
Thank you, guys.
JEROME: Thank you, guys.
So, how did everybody sleep?
Laying down.
-HANGER: I slept... I slept... -[laughs]
-My back actually feels really good today. -Good.
ELIZABETH: Yeah, nobody's really been injured. Like,
everybody's still in the game, you know?
-Nothing they can't recover from. -HANGER: Exactly.
Alfie, how many times do you tell your guys,
-"Safety, guys"? -ALFIE: Oh, yeah.
I'm gonna share with you since you asked.
I helped a buddy start a landscaping company.
So, these people wanted, like, six to eight trees taken out.
So I get my chain saw, and I start nudging it.
[imitates chain saw buzzing]
That branch was completely rotten on the inside,
so it just collapsed.
And, so, as soon as that 1,500-pound branch
hit the ladder, it just catapulted me out.
And that's all I remember.
Next thing you know, I wake up
four days later in a hospital bed.
I got tubes all in my arms.
I got sensors on my head and my chest.
They said that my left leg
was over my right shoulder next to my ear.
-ELIZABETH: Oh... -KELSY: Mm. -ALFIE: So, my spine shattered.
So, it could have severed your spinal cord
-and you'd be paralyzed. -Oh, yeah, well, that was...
that was the biggest fear that everybody had,
that I was gonna be paralyzed from the waist down.
Thank God that, for the reaction
of first responders, I'm here with you guys.
A-And, so, it was a tough time
in my life.
I wasn't giving up. I wasn't staying paralyzed.
That's-that's not my destiny. That's not who I was.
-That's crazy. You are a miracle, then. -KELSY: Wow.
Let's get this done. Let's go.
KALIMBA: Y'all ready for today?
Oh, so ready.
JEROME: Seven of us left in the individual.
It's getting down to the nitty-gritty already.
I'm trying to imagine that competition.
Gonna be... gonna be mental.
When I was in Afghanistan,
this all-girl band came and did a concert.
What do you call that when you jump
off the stage and... Crowd-surfing?
And I had never crowd-surfed before.
-Nobody caught you? -LIA: This is it.
I jumped out, like,
with my back towards the sky,
and midair,
I twisted over onto my back,
and they still caught me.
TAK: Auntie Lia,
she's a little firecracker.
I'm just amazed.
Lia is somebody, definitely, to look out for.
She knows how to do everything.
-It was the best. -[laughter]
♪
[record scratching]
-All right! -Hi, Phil. -Phil!
What's going on, Phil?
[laughing]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! -Yeah!
CHRISTINE: What?
[whoops]
-KELSY: Whoa! -KALIMBA: There you go.
Hanger!
-DJ Gravity One, everybody. -LIA: Yeah!
[cheering and applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
[Jerome laughs]
KEOGHAN: Today, it is individual competition day.
The pressure is all on the seven of you.
Your job today is to set up
a DJ station
just like this one that DJ Gravity One is using.
-Okay. -KEOGHAN: You're gonna have to pay careful attention
to where everything goes.
You'll see that you'll be working
with a lot of different parts.
And once everything
is done, you're gonna button it off
with a personalized banner.
Everything you need to get the job done
is outside under the marquee.
This finished example will be sitting here.
You can come past this station,
check out where everything goes.
DJ Gravity is looking to make sure
that you get this job done right.
Follow me, everybody.
If you are the first to set up your DJ station,
you will win a pair of tickets
-to the Grammys. -LIA: What?
-No way. -ELIZABETH: What? No way.
[whoops]
MIKE: Yes.
I have to win this.
Uh, I owe it to my wife.
Missing two anniversaries,
family vacations because I'm always working.
KEOGHAN: The last two of you to finish today
will be going into overtime.
If you lose that overtime,
you will be punching out.
Pay attention to all those small things,
and take it one step at a time.
Everybody ready to get the job done?
-ALL: Yeah. -KEOGHAN: Let's do it.
JEROME: I came here for a reason, for my people
and my family and-and my island.
I will make them proud, at least.
On the work whistle.
-[work whistle blows] -Yeah!
-HANGER: Go! -KELSY: Come on!
KALIMBA: Go, Alfie! Fast! Fast!
Fast! Fast!
KEOGHAN: Once again, our oldest competitor, Alfie,
the fastest off the mark.
Full of energy right now.
I need to get the heaviest equipment in first.
That way, I won't burn so much energy
carrying the light stuff, 'cause I got to run.
KEOGHAN: Each one of those turntable cases
weighs about 40 pounds. 80 pounds up onto the stage.
-KALIMBA: Let's go, Quincey! -CHRISTINE: Good job!
-KEOGHAN: Look how much Mike is carrying at one time. -KELSY: Way to go, Mike!
-Way to go! -KALIMBA: Good job, Lia.
LIA: There's a lot of detail
to this challenge.
There's gonna be many trips.
One for equipment and two
for just back and forth to that DJ station
to make sure I have things set up properly.
KEOGHAN: Jerome's the first one to get his table up.
He's got a working surface.
-Good money. Good money. -Good job, Jerome.
KEOGHAN: Elizabeth carrying two speakers. That's 70 pounds.
Come on, Eliza-beast.
ELIZABETH: With my injury on the last individual,
I still needed to be careful.
It was better to take one extra trip
because I knew I could make it up on my install
because I've done car audio,
which is pretty complex.
-[panting] -KEOGHAN: Jerome, he was
the first one to get his table up.
My most feared competitor is my head.
I get into my head too much. See, if I can
pay attention to my tasks, I should be all right.
KEOGHAN: Mike is doing the electrical work first.
-Stay focused. -Good job.
KEOGHAN: A lineman, he's used
to working up high and plugging things in.
That's his living right there. Come on, Mike.
-KEOGHAN: Jerome has put his lights up. -Let's go.
KALIMBA: Good job, Lia.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Jerome running back out into the lobby.
DJ GRAVITY ONE: Jerome is going back
to take a look at things.
-He's made a mistake, right? -Yep.
JEROME: Wait a minute.
Oh, .... I was wrong already.
I have my lights hanging upside down.
Like, what am I doing, then?
KEOGHAN: Jerome changing
the position of his lights.
All his lights were down,
and now he's putting them into the upward position.
Competition got to my head.
-I'm rushing. -This is eating up time
-for Jerome. -Come on. -HANGER: Don't give up, Jerome.
CHRISTINE: Don't, don't get in your head.
JEROME: That was a major setback.
KALIMBA: Oh! Oh, no!
KEOGHAN: Jerome's lights were down.
He's correcting that and putting them
-in the upward position. -The little things.
JEROME: I was so frustrated.
Competition got into my head so quick.
I don't know. Maybe missing my home, missing my family.
-Whatever it is, it is. -HANGER: Don't give up, Jerome.
KEOGHAN: Do not underestimate
what DJ Gravity said as far as attention to detail.
You need to set up your station exactly like the example.
When you're ready for a check, drop your mic on the table.
Oh, Mike with a good fix.
Make an exact replica, guys.
KEOGHAN: Quincey's got some power flowing
as Lia puts her vinyl out on her turntables.
KELSY: Good job, Lia.
KEOGHAN: Elizabeth quietly working away.
Quincey getting into the details,
plugging in all those cables.
And Mike is powering ahead.
-KELSY: Good job! -KEOGHAN: But has he
got all the details right?
-That'll be the killer. -That'll be the killer.
MIKE: I use wires every single day at work,
and I have to make sure everything is precise.
KEOGHAN: Lights are going on.
SARAH: Let's go, Mike, come on!
MIKE: So I feel confident. I feel good to get checked.
KEOGHAN: And Mike, the first
to drop the mic. Ready for inspection.
MIKE: I'm praying to God.
Please, please, please be correct.
-No. Nope. -KEOGHAN: And no good from DJ Gravity One.
Mike, the first to get everything assembled,
but some of the details are not right.
LIA: Mike gets the...
I'm still in it, so I sprint to that DJ station
to make sure I have things set up properly.
Okay. Never have I done this.
Although I do have a turntable.
Arms to the left.
Cables to the left.
Got it.
MIKE: I'm freaking out. I'm like,
"What could it possibly be?"
So I study the station again
very intensely. I'm puzzled right now.
Everybody quietly working away.
Tak has his lights up. Speakers. Got his turntable.
TAK: I'm struggling really hard with wiring connections.
Getting frustrated. But, you know,
being a foreman at work,
I've learned that you cannot panic.
I know how to stay calm
and figure things out.
This is connected.
KEOGHAN: Alfie also has all his heavy equipment out.
Lights are on.
-Elizabeth's so calm. -The top.
Staying calm is really important,
because when I get frantic, I make mistakes.
And when you panic, you actually
stop your brain from functioning properly.
HANGER: Details. Details, guys. Details.
KEOGHAN: Jerome has now fixed his lights. He has his two turntables up.
And Jerome drops his mic for a check.
Uh...
-And no. -And the check is no good.
JEROME: I don't like to lose in something
where I know I can do better.
Check everything, guys.
-Alfie would like a check, please. -Yeah, Alfie!
Yeah, Alfie!
Has Alfie done it first time up?
-Nope. -And no good
-for DJ Alfie-Beat. -ALFIE: Now it's no longer
a physical challenge.
Wow.
Now it's totally, totally mental.
What don't I see that he sees?
So, "A" sub to computer. "A" sub to computer.
Everyone, focus on detail.
Tak is looking for a check.
This is DJ Tak's first check.
-It is a no-go. -KEOGHAN: Check is no good for Tak.
KALIMBA: Look from top to bottom.
Jerome coming back for a second check.
Has Jerome got it right?
What does DJ Gravity One say?
-No. -He said no, that's not it. -Focus!
SARAH: DJ Gravity's not letting anything slide.
He gives you that sign, and you're like,
-"Aw, man." -No.
-No. -No.
-Nope.
-Uh, no. -KALIMBA: No?
-No? -That's a negatory. -Check is no good.
[groans] What? What is it?
Oh, that has to be so frustrating.
HANGER: Everything's detail.
MIKE: I'm just looking down at it.
And I'm like, "The records." He needs those on there to play.
So I put those on there. I'm like, "I think I got it."
It's definitely got to be it.
Mike calling for his third inspection.
And has Mike finally got it right?
Let's see.
-[records scratch] -Yeah!
-KEOGHAN: And Mike gets the job done! -[cheering]
-Yes! [whoops] -Yeah!
Oh, yes!
-[shouts] -HANGER: Yes!
This is amazing. I felt like I couldn't even stand up,
I was so happy.
Dawg. Man, you got that.
MIKE: I won, and I'm still in contention
for the $200,000.
-I was stunned. -You did it, man.
KEOGHAN: Everybody, keep going.
You're fighting to stay out of overtime.
DJ GRAVITY ONE: I think everybody's seeing what somebody else does
and, like, "Oh, I'm gonna steal that move."
Okay, I'm not going to the Grammys.
Now it's to the survival mode.
And, whoa,
Alfie drops his mic just in front of Lia.
-That was sneaky. -ALFIE: I have no intentions
of going into overtime.
KEOGHAN: Alfie, he would love this to be over.
-It is not over. -Damn.
Make a trip. Go get them details right.
KEOGHAN: Next check goes to Lia.
Oh, she wants this bad.
-[record scratches] -And Lyrical Lia!
Thank you.
-[Keoghan whoops] -[Kelsy laughs]
I was relieved
I didn't have to go into overtime.
Yahoo.
That's it. That's all you get.
This journey has definitely energized me.
I can't wait to see what's next.
Look at everything, guys. Look at everything.
KEOGHAN: Mike and Lia safe from overtime. The rest of you
do not want to get cut from the individual competition.
Quincey running back from the lobby.
He's just done a quick check.
QUINCEY: I'm a mechanic, and people,
they operate stuff by you, so I have to be precise.
This DJ booth test, it ties into that
because I got to do this thing right the first time.
KEOGHAN: Jerome drops a mic.
What do we think, DJ Gravity One?
Has Jerome done the job?
-And no. -KEOGHAN: Check is no good.
I give up. I-I'll go overtime.
What did he say? What did he say?
Don't say that, dawg. Don't say that. Nah, come on.
-Keep fighting. Keep fighting. -You got to be a good sport.
-Don't give up, Jerome. -JEROME: I was ready for quit,
take my chances at overtime,
but everyone was saying, "Brother, you ain't quitting."
CHRISTINE: Jerome, look at everybody else.
JEROME: Needs vinyl on top.
-There you go, brother. -SARAH: Stay out of overtime.
That's not even like me. I'm usually so calm.
Was one little detail that got to me.
Hustle here, guys.
And Jerome drops his mic for a check.
Will Jerome be safe?
JEROME: Was excruciating waiting for the results.
You're just there standing around like a sitting duck.
-[record scratches] -We're good.
KEOGHAN: Jerome gets the job done! Jerome!
JEROME: Thank you, God.
Leave one other day.
Congrats, brother.
KEOGHAN: Just four left.
Alfie, Tak, Elizabeth and Quincey.
Whatever you can do, do not go into overtime.
Couple people, their music has gone off.
Smoke everywhere. Yay, party.
It's not a party in my mind.
KEOGHAN: Alfie drops his mic one more time
looking for a check, and...
No-go over here.
-God. -No-go.
ALFIE: What is it?
Anxiety kicks in, doubt kicks in.
What am I missing?
What is it, Lord? Show me.
Four of you left.
Remember, the last two of you to finish
will be heading to overtime.
Elizabeth, going for her first check.
Queen Eliza-Beat gets the job done and stays out of overtime!
ELIZABETH: I escaped overtime.
It just goes to show you how tight the room for error is.
There are three left, two of you going into overtime.
Will it be Alfie, Tak or Quincey?
I want to be a star on the stage today. I don't want to lose.
Next up, Quincey has his first check.
I've just got to stay out of overtime now.
And it's no good.
KEOGHAN: No good for Quincey.
It's anybody's game right now.
KEOGHAN: Tak is looking at Jerome's set up.
I was panicking and I was rushing.
Look at the differences.
TAK: I see that my turntable was
positioned a different way from theirs,
so I knew I had to fix it.
Good eye, good eye!
Tak comes in to drop a mic.
A three-way race.
Tak, desperately wanting to stay out of overtime.
DJ Gravity One drops a needle...
and we have scratching!
Thumbs up for Tak, and Tak is out of overtime!
TAK: At work, I learned that you have to stay calm,
and so I just thought about my family back home.
I miss my family a lot.
Incredibly intense competition.
Alfie, Quincey, you will be
going head-to-head into overtime.
If you finish last you will be cut from the competition,
you'll lose your shot at that title.
Before we go,
I do want to thank DJ Gravity One.
[cheering, clamoring]
-All right, let's get to overtime. -Good job, everybody.
QUINCEY: I feel nervous now going into overtime.
I've been there before, but I'm going up against Alfie.
And Alfie is a superintendent, he has
to pay close attention to detail.
I was about to lose my marbles.
But I'm not going to give up.
I represent Lamar, uh, South Carolina.
I want to let the kids in Lamar know that,
get out there and do things.
And I want to be a perfect example.
You can do it, all right?
-You got this, right? You got this. -I'm ready.
-Yeah. -Going into overtime,
I rely on my skill sets,
but most of all, the fire that's in my heart for my future.
I know that God had a purpose for me.
I had a moment when I was laying in that hospital bed
after a couple weeks and I said,
"Lord, what am I supposed to be doing?
"What do you want? Where am I supposed to go? Tell me.
Because obviously you keep saving my life for something."
I don't know, but I'm pursuing it
with everything I got,
because to me I got a second chance in life.
[cheering, clamoring]
KEOGHAN: Alfie and Quincey,
welcome to overtime.
Look at this beautiful building.
-Oh, yeah! -The neon comes out,
starts to light up, and...
you guys are going to put a message up here
that is going to go out to the world.
They've estimated that 30,000
people read the message that's up on this marquee
every day.
Inside each of these bins is a plan
showing the letters that need to go up
on the marquee, "Tough As Nails.
Time to get to work."
You can place the words anywhere on the marquee,
but pay careful attention
to the spacing between the words.
It's got to be precise.
All the letters you need to get the job done
are inside this case.
When the work whistle goes, you'll be using
one of these extendable arms.
These little pincers pick up the letters.
You grab your letters, you lift them up,
and you hook them up onto the marquee.
Same number of letters, same words.
Going head-to-head as fast as you can.
The first one to get it done
will be joining our other five to be in the final six.
If you finish last,
you'll be punching out.
-You ready to go to work? -Let's go, guys.
-[cheering, clamoring] -Let's do it!
ALFIE: It's all on the line right here,
and so now it gets real serious, you know, it's...
a matter of life and death, it's a matter of freedom to me.
It's a matter of my future.
Jump-starting it or working till the day I die.
QUINCEY: I'm definitely feeling the pressure, you know?
There's $200,000 on the line.
I got to go in completely focused
with a hot heart and cool head.
This to stay in contention for the Tough As Nailstitle.
And on the work whistle.
-[work whistle blows] -[cheering, clamoring]
[whooping]
KEOGHAN: Putting those letters out quick!
Everything they need to know is
on the lid of their box.
The exact configuration.
-There you go, Quince. -There you go!
QUINCEY: Work whistle blows, and I'm thinking
lay out the sentences that I have to put on there.
"Tough As Nails. Time to get to work."
KELSY: Way to go, Alfie!
KEOGHAN: Two different strategies!
Quincey's taking the time to spell out the entire message.
Alfie's deciding to get going.
-Good job, good job. -Take your time. Take your time, you guys.
When I face something that I haven't done,
I'm confident in my ability.
KEOGHAN: Do you see the hooks on the ends of the letter?
Get those over the middle bar
and it's very hard to line them up.
My strategy is don't overthink it.
Don't try to make it what it's not.
Keep it moving.
KEOGHAN: And Alfie
with the first letter up on the marquee.
LIA: Yeah!
KALIMBA: Come on, Quince, just keep doing what you're doing,
-just-- I like it. -LIA: Spelling it out. Good job.
Quincey's my Dirty Hands brother, so...
kind of cringing because he's a bit of a perfectionist.
-Give yourself room! -And so he's taking his time.
Come on, come on!
-And Alfie's-- -You're doing good!
many more letters are going up.
Way to go, Alfie. Way to go!
[Quincey groans]
KEOGHAN: Quincey is taking his time and paying a little more attention.
JEROME: Get in there!
Trying to get that dexterity, but you see
how it's just slipping out of the pincers.
-Yeah. -Got to get that angle, bruddah.
QUINCEY: I'm trying to get the dexterity
of the gripper to-- on the letter.
-There you go. -Good job, bruddah.
The letters are slick, you know?
So it's starting to slip a little bit.
KEOGHAN: Oh, and "G" comes down!
Don't let it get to you. You got it.
QUINCEY: I've never used one of those tools before,
as a mechanic, but it's almost like my job
because it's tedious and you got to take your time.
-[groans] -Quincey is slow
and steady trying to get the word "Tough" spelled out.
-KELSY: You're doing good, Alfie! -KEOGHAN: Meanwhile,
Alfie's on his second line.
Look at your spaces, pay careful attention
to the distance between the words.
Do this one time only.
Ooh, this is going to be tough.
Alfie with the "T-O" of "tough" up.
Pay attention to details.
Alfie just threw all the letters up,
and he just is gonna see that they just
were not spaced correctly.
QUINCEY: I'm not looking at Alfie, but
I hear he's way ahead of me.
-ELIZABETH: Yeah! -[Quincey groans]
I'm thinking, "Oh, God.
This could be it."
I could be punching out today.
KEOGHAN: Oh, and the "S" comes down!
LIA: You own that "S," Quincey. You own it!
[Quincey groaning]
KEOGHAN: Oh, and the "S" comes down!
That's all right. Take your time, bruddah.
Alfie has "Tough As... Time to get to work."
He's got to get "Nails"up.
ALFIE: As a superintendent, reading prints,
that's what I've done all my life.
Those details, in any industry,
do make a win or a loss situation.
KEOGHAN: Look at your spaces.
Placement, Alfie, placement!
Quincey, still working on "Tough As."
TAK: Quincey, you still in this.
He's way ahead of me, but I'm not gonna stop.
-LIA: Ah, beautiful. -KELSY: Way to go, Quincey, that's perfect.
Until Phil say, "Hey, game is over, Alfie wins,"
I'm gonna continue to work.
-[cheering, clamoring] -KEOGHAN: That's a good move.
Quincey's getting the hang of this.
LIA: Nailed it, brother!
Alfie's trying to fix the end of "Nails."
ALFIE: I'm sweating.
Forearms on fire.
Oh!
-Come on. -Aah!
Oh, and down comes the "I" from Alfie!
There you go, right there, yep.
-Looking good, looking good. -[cheering, clamoring]
Quincey's moving down onto his second row.
He has his "Tough As Nails"up.
Like anybody on a job site, follow your plans.
-Come on, Alfie. Come on. -No way!
Oh, yes!
I'm done.
No, I'm sorry,
Alfie, you need to make some adjustments.
-Check your prints, man! -Check your plans!
[overlapping shouting]
KEOGHAN: Look at your spaces. This is a job of precision.
Focus on them details, Alfie.
Oh, no.
I start trying to grab the letters again
and move them over.
KEOGHAN: Alfie has spotted one mistake
and he's moving it, but his "S" is coming down
and so is his "O."
All of a sudden two or three fall off the marquee.
Oh, and down comes the "N" for "Nails."
I'm hearing Alfie having trouble with his letters falling off.
You still have a chance, Quincey.
-Just keep it cool. -LIA: Keep it steady!
KEOGHAN: You can see even Quincey, as strong as he is,
-is quivering with that long line. -Give me an "O"!
-And he gets it. -Yes!
-There you go! -[cheering, clamoring]
Alfie, getting the "N" attached to the top line.
-Check. -Good!
KEOGHAN: No!
Alfie, I'm sorry to tell you, you still have
one detail that you need to deal with.
Check your marquee.
You got it, you got it, Alfie.
-One thing left. -My spacing is still not right.
I'm very discouraged at this point.
-Look at everything. -"T-O-U-G-H" in the middle.
KEOGHAN: For both of you, spacing between your words
should be consistent.
I'm trying to see what it is that he sees...
-Come on, man. -I'm sorry!
-...because I don't see it. -Come on, Alfie.
-Easy. -Don't worry, easy, easy.
KEOGHAN: Quincey is getting the "K" of his "work" up.
You got 'em, you got 'em, you got 'em, you got 'em! Let it go.
Quincey's now caught up,
He's got all the words up.
Run through every letter!
This is gonna come down to spacing.
One word!
If you get this right you stay
in contention for the Tough As Nailstitle.
Make it look exactly like the print!
Yes, Alfie!
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
Just focus on the detail!
You still get 'em.
Oh, nice.
KEOGHAN: Quincey, tapping the "H" on his "tough."
Now check!
QUINCEY: Check!
LIA: Good job, Alfie.
Quincey gets the job done!
[cheering, clamoring]
Alfie, your mistake is on the second line.
-That was a tough one, you guys. -Check the spacing between "get"
-and "to." -I love you, Alfie.
QUINCEY: I guess I'm the new
"OT OG," now as they say out here on Tough As Nails.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm glad I won,
but I'm still up against competitors
that want it just as bad as I do, so
I just got to just remember to remain calm, remain humble,
and, uh, bring my A game every time.
KEOGHAN: I want to commend both of you
for putting in such hard work.
Alfie, you did so well, and it really was just
one detail at the end.
Quincey, you were so far behind.
Did you look across and just think
this is all over before you even get started?
I was thinking about, you know, my, my wife and I was
thinking about my kids and my parents, you know?
This is a time for me to make them proud, you know,
and they were my drive today.
-Yeah. -Good job, brother.
And now, Alfie, your focus is gonna become all about team.
That's right.
You punch out of the individual competition,
you do not punch out of Tough As Nails.
And there's still a shot for you guys to win that team
competition, and now it is more important than ever.
Alfie, I'm sorry
to tell you that I do need you to punch out.
-Love you. -[applause]
ALFIE: I gave it my all here today.
That's all I know how to do.
-Proud of you, Alfie. -Love you, Alfie.
ALFIE: I got to thank God that I'm even here.
I'm forever grateful for that 'cause I can see my children
grow up and be a grandparent.
I'll sleep this off and know that I serve
a bigger purpose than myself.
Savage Crew is gonna win
the team competition and take that 60,000 home.
All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
-Good job. -Good job. We've got plans after this.
You know, we're gonna keep going.
-I love these guys, man. -I do, too.
Everybody here, man.
I, I couldn't cheer because I love them both.
Romy, thank you, man!
Yeah, man. Thank you for the support.
KEOGHAN: The most important team challenge so far
in the competition.
Dirty Hands, you're up 4-3.
If they take it, they take the 60,000.
KEOGHAN: Reseal this parking lot.
Move, move, move.
Stay with the paintbrush!
I am fixing your mistakes!
We are a hot mess.
KEOGHAN: Today your job is to paint parking spots.
Man, this is coming down to seconds.
KEOGHAN: This is the time to bring it.
