PHIL KEOGHAN:
Previously onTough As Nails...
Your job today is to move
all the contents out of
one of these garages...
- TARA: Piano! Piano!
- ...into one of these trailers.
- TARA: Mattress on that side.
- LINNETT: Sideways, sideways.
- KEOGHAN: Savage Crew...
- LUIS: Let's go, baby!
...finally broke their
four-week losing streak.
TARA: As a team,
we are dialed in now.
Thank you for whupping
our a*s so many times.
- That made us better.
- [work whistle blows]
KEOGHAN: Then,
in the individual challenge,
- Murph... - NICK: And 20.
...trashed the competition...
You will have a power in
the next individual challenge.
...while Michelle
and Myles stumbled
and headed to overtime,
arranging paving stones
to complete a backyard patio.
KEOGHAN: We have a winner!
Another tough competitor
lost their chance
at the overall title.
- [applause] - Y'all
bring it to that finish.
KEOGHAN: Tonight...
Savage Crew,
I know you want to even up that score.
- You're down 4-2.
- Oh, we're ready.
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Let's go, let's go!
KEOGHAN: With only
two team challenges left,
Savage Crew must
win to stay alive.
Let's go! We almost there, guys!
Can they keep Dirty Hands...
- Murph, you're going too high.
- ...from securing
- the overall team win?
- CALLIE: We cannot lose this.
- And in the individual competition...
- It's hazardous!
- ...Murph gets an advantage...
- LEE: He gonna beat everybody.
- As the final six brave the dangers...
- DANNY: It's pitch black, smoky.
...to save themselves
from overtime.
MURPH: I'm worried about Young.
This is within his wheelhouse.
Who will stay in
the battle to be
Tough As Nails champion
and win the $200,000 prize,
and who will punch out?
- Come on!
- KEOGHAN: He is exhausted.
♪
"Del Valle Training Center."
Fire department.
Hey, Young, we're rolling up on
Los Angeles Fire Department.
Maybe we're making a calendar,
Young.
YOUNG: Seems like
we're gonna be doing
some type of
fire-related activity today.
This is gonna go well.
Dirty Hands should watch out.
- Good morning. - ¿Cómo estás?
I'm out of the
individual competition,
but I'm here for
my team to the end.
We're down 2-4,
and we want to even the score so bad.
LINDA: Have you
seen these before?
MYLES: One's pretty
much like a rake.
The other side of itcan be
used to break vegetation.
DANNY: Today's super important.
We need this win to
have the overall win.
There are 60,000 more
dollars up for grabs,
and they're gonna be ours.
Hey,
good morning. How you doing?
- I'm Steven.
- Myles. Nice to meet you.
My name's Chris. We're
gonna be getting suited up,
and then we're going on a hike.
- All right, let's get moving.
- We're moving.
-Watch your footing.
-Watch your footing. -Watch your footing.
- Good morning, everyone.
- MICHELLE: Good morning, Phil.
- All right, how was that hike?
- It'll wake you.
KEOGHAN: Five
miles uphill. Good job.
This is the Del Valle
Training Center.
It's operated by the Los
AngelesCounty Fire Department.
There are people that
come from all over the country
to train here.
Now, Young, when we first met you,
you said to me,
"Those firefighters
in California,
"the ones that are fighting
the fires in the brush
"just like this,
they are the baddest badass firefighters
that you've ever
seen in your life."
They do a lot of work. I mean,
it's long hours nonstop.
Much respect to them.
And, Myles,
being out in the forest,
I'm sure you've seen fires.
Yeah, I'm a certified
type two wildland firefighter.
Well, that walk up the hill,
that was just a warm-up.
Your job today is
you're going to clear
a 60-foot-long section of brush.
A straight strip,
which they call a firebreak.
Can you explain to
everybody what that is?
So, a firebreak,
it can be natural or man-made.
It's basically a
clearing of vegetation
to the mineral soil
so the fire can't pass
through that area.
So you're taking
out the fuel supply.
-Yes,
sir.-First thing you've got to do is
chop the roots of the
brush with your Pulaski,
which is the tool that
has an ax on one side
and a digger on the other.
Then you're gonna
clear away the debris
using a mcleod.
That has a rake and a
sharp edge for cutting.
Clear the brush
right down to the dirt
until the firebreak
is six feet wide.
It's 360 square feet.
You need to do this
job to the specifications
of the two firefighters
that are with you today...
Chris and Steve.
They tell you whether the
job is done correctly or not.
The first team
to clear their line
all the way to the center poles
- is gonna win $12,000.
- [cheers and applause]
And perhaps more importantly,
today's Badge of Honor.
Savage Crew,
I know you want to even up that score.
Right now you're down 4-2.
There are only two
team challenges left.
And remember, in the end,
the team with the most
Badges of Honor wins
the bonus prize of $60,000.
[cheers and applause]
Since you will be
wielding sharp tools,
it's important for each
team to have a foreman.
Someone who's focused on safety,
and who makes sure that
you stay within the lines
of a 6-by-60-foot
section of brush.
MYLES: I-I want to work.
I already... I know these tools,
I know how to swing 'em,
so I feel like I can be an
asseton the manual side.
- We need a foreman. - Okay.
We need a general foreman today.
- So I think it has to be...
- Luis.
We're just gonna be working ahead,
getting all the brush.
You can basically
run back and forth
and tell us what
we're doing wrong.
LUIS: I am a foreman,
meaning the supervisor,
so I'm in charge
of all my workers' safety.
Up in the air, like,
Today I'm ready to
just lead us to victory.
- Callie, we want you to take lead on this.
- All right.
Because you did
amazing with the sand.
Yeah, and I mean,
that's what I do is I run a crew.
If we screwing up,
don't show no mercy.
- You don't gotta worry about that part.
- We don't need no soft leader.
I was happy that my team
chose me to be their leader.
I'm hungry for a win today.
- Footing. - OTHERS: Footing!
- LINNETT: Footing, Murph.
- MURPH: Footing.
Going into the job today,
$60,000 is on the line.
We need this victory.
[wind whooshing]
Come on, you guys,
let's do this.
- All right!
- We cannot lose this.
- Just don't stop. All right?
- Silver platter.
Don't stop, keep going.
MYLES: Listen
to Callie. Trust her.
Is everybody
ready to go to work?
- Oh, we're ready. - All right.
Let's go, let's go.
- All right!
- KEOGHAN: Time to go to work!
- [work whistle blows] - Go,
go, go!
LUIS: Go, go, go, go, go, go!
- CALLIE: There, deep, deep.
- MYLES: Deeper, deeper, guys.
CALLIE: There,
Linda. Yeah, there you go!
There you go!
Straightaway,
both teams start chopping away
at the roots of the brush
using their Pulaskis.
Lee,
right at its roots. Don't miss them.
LINDA: The team
strategy is to have
Danny and Lee start
attacking the roots,
use the mcleods to dig up brush.
And then Melissa and I
are gonna get the brush
cleared out of the way.
CALLIE: Come on,
Melissa, big sweeps,
all the way from the top,
all the way down.
This stuff is thick,
the wind is howling.
Debris is flying
everywhere right now!
[all grunting]
Young, Young, Young,
come over here real quick.
Right here, take this out.
YOUNG: Murph and I,
we just have our head down,
doing all the grunt work.
It's very difficult
because it's windy.
Stuff keeps falling
on our clean area,
so we have to keep
going back and forth.
KEOGHAN: The idea
is to get a six-foot strip
Look at Murph ripping
through the thick stuff.
MURPH: Our plan is two
people go in with the Pulaskis
to clear the big brush.
Keep going. We good,
we good, we good, keep going.
Then the ladies are
gonna come in behind us
and start clearing
the ground covering.
Right here, right here,
Tara. You're going too high.
- Right here?
- Come up a little higher on this.
Halfway up this bush right here.
Come on, Myles, let's go!
Callie right at home,
just like she is on her boat,
giving instruction to her crew.
I went to marine firefighting
school in Louisiana,
so I know that teamwork
is incredibly important
to get a hard task
done as fast as we can.
Come on, Danny. What are you doing,
Danny? Let's go, Danny.
LUIS: Let's go,
guys. Keep going, keep going.
CALLIE: Come on,
Myles, let's go!
MYLES: A wildland firefighter
needs a lot of endurance.
We could be digging
for miles on end
to contain a wildfire.
CALLIE: Come on,
Lee. Come on, Lee!
- Almost there.
- You keep at it!
- We need an ax down there.-Coming through,
coming through.
Let's go, guys. Good job!
KEOGHAN: Both
teams are neck and neck.
Impossible to tell who's ahead.
Come on, you guys, let's go!
CALLIE: Come on, Lee,
you got it. You're cleaning up.
Come on, Lee. Lee,
step back a little bit.
KEOGHAN: Lee
working quite high there.
The idea is to get a
six-foot strip 60 feet long.
[wind whooshing]
Look how hard the wind
is making it right now.
The wind has shifted around
and is blowing all the debris
that they're throwing
downhill back uphill.
CALLIE: Linda, come on,
you got to work harder than that!
Let's go!
Dirty Hands working like
their life's depending on it.
They want this bad,
but so does Savage Crew.
Let's go!
Savage Crew, we down
but we feel like we can catch up to them.
We just need to keep
that same intensity
that we had going
in to the last job.
I feel like they're
a little scared now
and that they feel us coming.
Come on, Savage,
let's go. We got this.
-LINNETT: Come on, now.
-MYLES: Keep it up, guys. Almost there.
CALLIE: Chop it. Chop it hard.
KEOGHAN: Both teams
have managed to clear
the bulk of their firebreaks.
It's now down to who
can do the final cleanup.
CALLIE: Linda, this branch
sticking out right here, clean it off.
Right there. Beautiful!
Murph,
you going too high. Go a little lower.
- There you go.
- I could hear Luis's voice.
I was going
outside the six-foot,
so he was letting me
know I was too high
and our path looked
nice and straight.
- LUIS: Yeah, we good.
- A little more.
-Little more.
-A little more right here. Come on.
KEOGHAN: Chris
checking out the line.
He's one of the two firefightersthat
will determine the winner.
Making sure that they get
- the exact amount cleared.
- LUIS: We good now?
- CHRIS: It's good.
- That's good, that's good, that's good.
- Come on, keep going.
- MYLES: Hey, get a line check.
CALLIE: We're not
ready for that yet.
-Myles, I got that part. You just clean, okay?
-All right. Okay.
MYLES: All right. I trust you.
LINDA: I am getting
so exhausted and tired.
CALLIE: Come on,
Linda, let's go!
LINDA: All the dirt and dust
flying into our
mouths and our eyes
is making it hard
to see and breathe.
CALLIE: Linda, use your tools!
LUIS: Go... Tara, come here,
clean up over here, Tara.
CALLIE: Myles! What
are you doing? Let's work!
- Where? Where? - We good?
- Right by me!
- Hey, Linnett, help Tara out!
Murph just a couple of
feet awayfrom me now.
Lee close to me.
Bringing it right up to
the finish zone here.
Come on, you guys! Danny,
you got to pick it up.
Let's go, guys! Let's go,
we almost there, guys!
Savage Crew
k*lling it right now.
And Dirty Hands struggling.
Lee,
too high! Back up. Get-get that big one.
Lee cutting too
high up on the line.
Remember, it's a straight line,
post to post, six feet downhill.
Check us, check us,
check us, check us!
-Check us!-Savage
Crew asking for a check.
See, right here a little more,
little more.
- They've still got more work to do.
- Let's go! You guys, come on!
They've got all their
debris piled up close
- to their work zone.
- Lee, use this!
Dirty Hands desperate
to get this done.
They're only one win away
from getting the team bonus.
CALLIE: Come on, you guys,
we got to pick it up a little bit!
KEOGHAN: Savage
Crew needs this win
to stay alive in the
team competition.
Get out of the way,
get out of the way.
Savage Crew waiting
for a clear check.
Dirty Hands want
their last check.
What are you stopping for? Work!
KEOGHAN: We're looking for a
thumbs-up from their supervisor.
- Savage Crew with the win!
- [cheering, screaming]
- Yes! - Yes, baby!
KEOGHAN: Savage
Crew getting it done.
- [panting]: Good job. Good job.
- MURPH: It feels amazing
to win today,
to watch my teammates
celebrate is probably
the best part of it for me.
- Murph, thank you so much.
- Good job, Murph.
MURPH: We are gonna
make a run on Dirty Hands.
I gave it all I had, man.
MURPH: We're on a roll,
and our communication right now
is on point, and our unity,
i-it can't be beat right now.
KEOGHAN: Crazy tough conditions,
guys.
Wind is blowing really strong.
Every time you threw
debris down the hill,
it was getting blown right
back into your work zone.
Callie, for you,
as-as the leader,
anything you want to say?
Uh,
I think my team did a... Did a great job.
KEOGHAN: All right, Luis,
as the team captain today,
I'm gonna award you the
$12,000 to distribute to your team.
[applause]
You also get today's Badge
of Honor. Congratulations.
- Thank you, Phil.
- That brings up the score.
and Dirty Hands,
either one of you can win
that $60,000 team bonus.
It was a hard day's work.
Back for the
individual competition.
$200,000 still up for grabs.
We're down to our final six.
LINNETT: Can I just say,
as a team,
we have learned not to mentally step
over each other,
and kudos to all of us
for keeping our heads
together in a tough situation.
MICHELLE: This was
a big victory for us.
We're on that comeback roll,
We're going after the big win.
LINNETT: You guys have
shown me what it takes
to not quit what I want
to be when I get older.
[laughs]
How to take things in stride
and always smile about things.
How it's okay to be emotional.
How it's okay to
be strong and silent.
And how it is to be resilient.
I feel like we're
all a family again
because we've shown that
we care about each other,
even in the midst of dark times.
We have shown each other
that we have each other's backs.
It's been life-altering.
Now we're gonna
support Murph and Young
who are still going strong
in the individual challenge.
- So how do you guys feel about today?
- Frustrated.
- We can't get them get any more, like, period. Like for...
- No. Exactly.
LEE: This next competition,
it's gonna be a fight.
Get your popcorn ready.
Just get your ringside seat.
This gonna be a-a
wang dang doodle.
We're gonna make sure,
like, we're coming out
- blades a-swinging.
- g*ns blazing.
MYLES: I don't want them to have
no more Badges.
They got their taste,
they got their taste.
Send them home with a little
bitof cash. Let's win the rest.
[Melissa laughs]
♪
- Good morning.
- DANNY: Morning.
- Morning. - Morning.
Since you guys have already
beencut from the competition
and you're punched out,
Michelle,
you guys will be with me.
And the rest of you,
you'restill in line for the individual
Tough As Nailstitle.
Down to six people.
It's gonna get
tougher and tougher
until there's only
one of you left.
This building is
where firefighters
complete hazmat rescue training.
- [shouting, laughter] - Yeah!
Inside that warehouse,
you'll find a simulated
disaster zone
with hazardous materials
scattered all over the place,
falling debris, chemical spills,
boiling acid, smoke,
electrical sparks,
and if that's not
challenging enough,
you need to negotiate your
way through it all in the dark.
When the work whistle blows,
you'll be running
into the building where
there's one victim inside
that weighs the same as you.
And then you need to
get them out of the building
as fast as you can
across the finish line.
The two slowest to
get the job done today
will be going into overtime.
One more of you will be
cut from the opportunity
of getting that
Tough As Nailstitle.
Murph, since you won the
last individual challenge,
I mentioned to you that you
would have an advantage.
You get a bonus of 30 seconds.
That means 30
seconds will be cut off
the time it takes you
to get the job done.
That is huge today.
You're going to be
doing this one at a time.
We're gonna be watching
it out here on this monitor.
I have drawn the order randomly.
Callie, you're first up.
LINDA: Going into today's job,
I'm reverting back
to our lineman job
that we had to do,
and remembering how
heavy that dead weight was
in that particular job.
So I'm just gonna do
what I do every time.
I'm gonna say my prayers. "Let go,
let God,"
and give it the best I can.
Once the adrenaline kicks in,
it's all good.
I'm worried about Young
because he's a firefighter,
so this is something
that is definitely
within his wheelhouse.
Really expect that
he's gonna win.
KEOGHAN: Callie, are you ready
- to save the victim?
- I'm ready.
- Are you ready to save yourself from O.T.?
- Yes.
- Let's get it on.
- [work whistle blows]
[cheering]
MELISSA: Run, Callie, run!
Goes in through the
door. It's dark up in there.
[alarm sounding]
[shouts]
CALLIE: My strategy is to try
to stay really calm,
but I can't see anything.
There's nowhere to go.
- [barrels
clattering] - [grunts]
There's sparks
falling from the ceiling,
there's flashing
lights and loud noises.
It's like a maze.
LEE: Finding the victim is hard.
KEOGHAN: If you're
able to train like this,
then you get a really good sense
of what it would be
like in the real world.
Oh, now she's figuring it out.
CALLIE: This light
through this grate
catches my eye and I
realize that you can crawl
underneath it.
KEOGHAN: She has made it
to the middle of the warehouse.
- Come on.
- Time is ticking away.
Crawling under a ladder there.
And now she's at the
far end of the warehouse.
Come on. Where are
you? Where are you?
LEE: Feel like I see,
like I seen the victim behind.
- MELISSA: Come on, Callie.
- Where are you?
LEE: She's close to it.
-KEOGHAN: She's got her victim.
-Oh, yay!
-Okay. -She got him? -[grunting]
CALLIE: The victims weigh the
same amount as our body weights.
And so I go to pull
it and I start cussing.
[grunts]
Because I realize
just how heavy I am.
How you gonna find your way out?
CALLIE: Underwater, you can't
tell up from down, left to right...
You get so disoriented.
So I've trained in that a lot.
We call it chocolate
milk diving,
when there's zero visibility.
So I knew my way out.
-KEOGHAN: Out the door. Here we go.
-MELISSA: Yeah! Keep going!
- Come on, Callie!
- Come on, Callie!
[cheering, applause]
MELISSA: Come on, Callie!
Everything you got,
everything. Come on.
- Right over the line. Let's go.
- [work whistle blows]
- [cheering,
applause] - Oh, yeah.
[panting]
-Good job, Callie.
-Good job. -She did good.
You saved your victim. That was tough,
right?
I got to lose some weight so
my victim's lighter next time.
[laughter]
- He's safe now. You're welcome.
- [laughter]
KEOGHAN: All right, next up.
Let's go, Danny!
- [work whistle blows] - MELISSA: Go,
Danny!
Hustle!
KEOGHAN: Here he goes. Boy,
he's in a hurry today.
MICHELLE: Oh,
my God. He didn't even stop
- to adjust for the light.
- DANNY: It's pitch black,
smoky,
and my eyes need forever to adjust.
But I have a sense of urgency,
so I just start scrambling.
- He is getting a little disorientated.
- Yes, he is.
- [clattering] - [shouts]
KEOGHAN: Oh,
he's stuck right now.
- MELISSA: Oh, my goodness.
- Clock is ticking away.
- Ticking away.
- Don't think he gonna beat Callie's time.
- [metal clattering] -
DANNY: Come on!
[alarm sounding]
Come on, Danny.
- He's getting a little disorientated.
- Yes, he is.
-KEOGHAN: But he's moving quick.
-[shouts]
MELISSA: He's
always moving quick.
KEOGHAN: You notice
details when you go slower.
He's come to the middle and come
to another dead end.
DANNY: I'm checking
every nook and cranny.
I almost know every square
inch of this warehouse.
Ah.
[grunting]
KEOGHAN: All right,
here he comes, out the door now.
- Come on! - Come on, Danny!
[shouts] Come on!
MELISSA: Move!
Oh, he's struggling. That...
- You see that?
- MELISSA: Come on!
DANNY: I'm actually surprised
at how exhausted I am.
- KEOGHAN: You see that weight is tough.
- MELISSA: Hustle!
- Come on, Danny!
- Wow, all the way.
- He is exhausted.
- MELISSA: Come on, Danny!
KEOGHAN: Get it across the line!
Get it across the line, Danny!
-Come on! -Come on!
-[work whistle blows]
- KEOGHAN: There you go.
- LEE: Come on!
KEOGHAN: I don't know if we've
ever seen Danny this exhausted.
I don't think I put
in a great time.
I'm really worried that
I'm gonna be in overtime.
It's up in the air.
KEOGHAN: All right, next up.
- [cheering,
applause] - Here we go.
- Triple O.G.!
- KEOGHAN: Bring it in, Young!
Show us how it's done!
- Look how relaxed. - [whooping]
YOUNG: People are pretty
confident I'm gonna get this.
- I'm confident as well.
- KEOGHAN: Just remember,
- everybody at the fire department's watching, okay?
- Sure.
-[work whistle blows] -MICHELLE:
Show them how it's done.
- LINNETT: Go, Young!
- [whooping]
[alarm sounding]
YOUNG: I'm able to
do a left-hand search,
so basically,
that means you start going
to the left and kind of
feeling your way around.
We look for where
people would be,
so if you were running
out of a building,
most of the times,
someone might be right by the door.
Damn. [sighs]
KEOGHAN: He hasn't even
got past the stairway yet.
He's being very
thorough. This is what...
- Probably what they're trained to do, right?
- What he's trained for.
YOUNG: I can't just
move things out the way.
I finally see that I have
to crawl underneath.
Definitely took some time.
Where you at, dude?
Oh!
I got to get this person
that weighs like me
outside as fast as I can.
And to me,
it feels like part of training right now.
[grunting]
KEOGHAN: Here he comes!
- Come on, Young!
- [cheering, whooping]
[overlapping shouting]
KEOGHAN: You're not there yet!
- Cross the line!
- [work whistle blows]
LEE: Dropped it... that's it!
YOUNG: My training in
the fire department may have
hurt me because
I just thought I just
had to be thorough.
You don't want to miss
somebody. That's the worst feeling.
KEOGHAN: Danny,
where do you feel it stands right now?
- The order? - I feel last.
I think I'm last.
Myles,
they're doubting themselves over here.
This is your chance to shine.
MICHELLE: Light it up!
- [work whistle blows] - Let's go,
Myles!
MICHELLE: Come on, Myles,
let's see what you can do!
[alarm sounding]
LEE: Oh, he didn't,
he didn't make the same mistake.
- Oh, good job!
- LEE: Good job, he went a different way.
MYLES: Right when I opened the door,
it was like a haunted house.
I tried to stay calm
and make sure
that I wasn't assuming that
I knew where the dummy
- was gonna be. - Oh!
LEE: Oh, whoa, he-he's on point!
MYLES: I tried to keep
my mind and my eyes open.
Where you at? Where you at,
buddy?
KEOGHAN: Look at this.
He's already in the
back of the warehouse.
Are you kidding me?
Where you at?
I got you.
- Yeah, he got it! He got it!
- Oh!
KEOGHAN: Just
remember that's a bit
of weight he's dragging up.
MYLES: In wildland firefighting,
we often carry packs
that can weigh 60 pounds,
so I'm used to carrying a
little extra weight on me.
- [thuds] - Oh!
- This is impressive.
- This is impressive.
He gonna be record time.
[cheering, whooping]
[overlapping shouting]
KEOGHAN: Whoa!
- Whoa! - Get up!
[overlapping shouting]
- [work whistle blow] - There you go,
you got it.
- MELISSA: Wow!
- LEE: Good job, baby, good job!
-Now, Murph, he gonna beat everybody.
-KEOGHAN: Murph,
you got a little bit of a bufferwith
your 30-second advantage.
You got to do this as
fast as you can though,
because the
competition is tight.
I'm ready.
- TARA: Show them how it's done.
- [work whistle blows]
- [all cheering,
clamoring] - LINNETT: Get in there, Murph!
MICHELLE: Come on,
get in there and get it!
Show them how it's done!
TARA: Come on, Murph!
MURPH: I don't
have any experience
running into a burning building.
I do have experience
working in small rooms with
nuclear, biological, chemical.
MELISSA: Oh, he's slow.
- Oh!
- LEE: That's his third time going.
KEOGHAN: That's his third
time walking past the entrance,
- which is right there.
- LEE: Right there, go on!
- TARA: Go!
- KEOGHAN: He's also taller.
LEE: Murph, think,
think, baby, think!
KEOGHAN: He's
just thinking too high.
You got to get low.
- [overlapping chatter] - No!
LEE: He's a big man.
Does he see it? Oh!
[cheering, shouting]
- Yeah, come on!
- [Lee whooping]
MURPH: I go to what I
feel is the back far corner.
LEE: Turn to your left,
turn around!
The dummy's behind you,
Murph! Turn around, he's behind you.
MURPH: But I'm like,
"I'm not having any luck."
KEOGHAN: He's going
back the way he came in.
- Oh, he's going away from it!
- Ooh!
♪
MURPH: I cannot
find the hurt man
to save my life... or his.
LEE: Oh, no, he's still,
he's going further away.
- He's going further away.
- He's going right back where he started.
MURPH: I know that I've already
surpassed everybody's time
by several minutes.
But in the military,
you leave no one behind.
What do you think,
guys, as far as his time?
- He's in last place no matter what he do.
- He's in last place?
I think he's
guaranteed overtime.
MURPH: When I find my hurt man,
I'm laughing to myself because
thinking about what kind
ofstuff we have to do in overtime.
- TARA: Come on, Murph!
- LINNETT: There you go!
- [work whistle blow]-Watch
yourself! Watch yourself!
-Oh, my God. -Good job!
-Good job, Murph!
MICHELLE: Oh, my God!
LEE: Tell you,
it-it exhausted him out, man.
- You good?
- Yeah, give me a second.
- I'll give you a second.
- LEE: Catch your breath.
- Catch your breath, man.
- You all right?
MURPH: I automatically
know I'm one of the candidates
for overtime today.
I mean, I messed up.
Hopefully,
my kids will see that,
hey, even if you lose,
sometimes you, you know,
just pick up with
your life and continue.
KEOGHAN: All right, Linda.
Five people have
stepped up to the line
and saved their victims,
and now you are
the last to save yours.
- [work whistle blows] - Let's go,
Linda!
LEE: Let's go, girl!
MELISSA: Let's
go! Let's go! Let's go!
- CALLIE: Here we go.
- MELISSA: Come on, Linda!
[alarm sounding]
LINDA: In the Academy,
we had to go into a burning room.
And I ended up
walking out of that
having singed the
whole front of my hairline,
because I just kept
walking into the fire,
versus, like, getting down low.
MELISSA: Oh, she's going low.
- She's going low.
- She's going, she's going low, she's going low.
KEOGHAN: Oh, there she goes.
Looking for a human.
Looking up...
I'm looking up, I'm looking down
and I'm just
checking things off.
[overlapping chatter]
I'm looking for a person.
Two feet from you,
Linda, two feet.
Don't see a person.
- Person!
- LEE: She got him right there.
All right, buddy,
let me get you out of here.
[grunts]
Now she's just got
to retrace her steps.
[grunts]
LEE: Oh, she's just coming out!
[cheering, whooping]
- Get to the line, Linda.
- There you go!
- You looking good!
- [work whistle blows]
KEOGHAN: There you go,
you got it.
- She never broke a sweat.
- Never broke a sweat.
LEE: Good run, Linda, good run!
You k*lled it, you k*lled it.
KEOGHAN: All right,
bring it in, guys.
I will tell you it
was extremely tight.
Murph,
you're laughing... Why are you laughing?
Just 'cause a
ten-minute advantage
wouldn't have
helped my butt today.
- [laughter] -
KEOGHAN: All right,
the fastest time.
Our winner today... Myles.
[applause]
Two minutes, 44 seconds.
Oh, nice, man!
Congratulations.
MYLES: I'm proud of myself.
I want to stay humble about it,
but the last
individual challenge,
I ended up in overtime,
now I'm at the top,
so I think I'm gonna
be able to move
forward with a little
more confidence.
And now we find out
who is going into overtime.
Murph,
you pretty much figured it out, right?
- I'm pretty confident.
- Okay, with a time
of 13 minutes,
you are going into overtime.
DANNY: I think Callie beat me.
And Linda's always in the top,
so I'm thinking it's
between me and Young
going against Murph.
So the question is who's
your opponent going to be?
♪
KEOGHAN: Murph,
with a time of 13 minutes, you are
going into overtime,
so the question is
who's your opponent going to be?
Second place with a time of
three minutes and 49 seconds...
...Danny.
- Nice.
- You are safe from overtime.
Third fastest time with a time
of 3:54...
- ...Linda. - Yes!
Would not have expected that.
And now we find out
who is going into overtime
against Murph.
I don't want to
go into overtime,
because I want to
be in the final five.
So, you know,
it's all on the line.
So in overtime,
will Murph go against
Young or Callie?
♪
Young, you are the O.T. O.G.
and you are going back into O.T.
- You will be against Murph.
- MICHELLE: Oh, no.
Callie,
that means you are safe and here's what.
The difference in time
between you and Linda?
One second.
- Whoa! - CALLIE: I'll take it.
My victim is safe and so am I.
- KEOGHAN: Young, this will be your fourth time.
- Yep.
You did not have
the slowest time.
But as the firefighter, you are
fighting for your
life right now.
I'll see you guys in overtime.
All right, thank you.
[sighs] I can already hear it now,
"So, Young,
"this is your competition,
wasn't it?
But you're going into
O.T. for the fourth time."
- I'm so happy for you.
- Thanks, man.
LINDA: I'm happy for Myles.
I've always thought of myself
as being able to be calm,
cool and collected.
Um, but he's got that,
like, perfected, so
if a little bit of that
can rub off on me,
that would be awesome.
- Now you are out in the country working...
- Mm-hmm.
...in the wilderness,
where I love,
and I obviously am
working in the jail.
Even sometimes in the office,
I can get stir-crazy.
How-how do you feel like being
in those confined
spaces affects you?
I've had a lot of impact
on lives within there...
- Right on.
-...that, you know, has had a positive effect on the outside.
- Mm-hmm.
- And that's probably the most rewarding part of the job.
I love the job,
but it's difficult
to be locked up inside the
jail for eight to 16 hours a day
and have no contact
with the outside world.
MYLES: When I first saw you,
I was like, "If I talk back,
she's probably gonna talk
to me like I'm a piece of ..."
You know? But you didn't.
You-you showed me
who you really were
besides what-what's
on your shirt.
Linda definitely changesmy
perception of law enforcement
as-as humans and
people in general.
I love Linda.
There's mutual
respect on both ends.
And I want to be
able to support her
as much as possible.
- You saying that... - Mm-hmm.
...makes me feel so amazing.
'Cause I've lived and
breathed the-the negative.
There are people that
struggle to do the right thing
with a badge on their
shoulder and you know?
Sometimes it's not
big $200,000 things that
can change your life.
It's the real people
and relationships.
That's what this whole
experience has been about...
The priceless things
we're taking away.
-Yeah.
-So the fact that we're able to just
kind of learn and grow
together during this experience
- has been great.
- Yep, I'm thankful for you,
- what you've taught and shown me, so...
- Mm-hmm.
♪
YOUNG: Practice
makes perfect in overtime.
This is my fourth one.
Murph is gonna be a
good challenger... I mean,
he's a beast.
He's definitely
gonna give it his all,
and I'm gonna do the same.
MURPH: Young has
been to three overtimes.
Has won all three.
He's the one guy that I
didn't want to face in overtime.
Now I'm facing him in something
that is definitely
within his wheelhouse.
Young and Murph, it is overtime.
That means you are fighting
it out to stay in contention
for the individual
Tough As Nailstitle.
$200,000 on the line.
I know you both want it.
One of you will be cut
from the competition
and punch out.
Chief Mitch,
thank you for being out here today.
-My pleasure.
-Chief's gonna make sure that everything runs
according to plan out here.
Your job today,
put out these fires.
Start by connecting one of
these fire hoses to the truck,
and then continue
connecting them one at a time
up the stairwell to get
to the top of the building.
Then Captain Perez
will turn on the water.
You'll get a hundred pounds
of pressure to spray out
these two fires.
You'll then be rappelling
from the top of the building.
MURPH: Heights?
You got to be kidding me. Again?
Murph, are you thinking at
allabout the fact that this is part
- of what he does for a living?
- I'm just focusing on the rappel.
I'm nervous.
Climbing the pole
was the first time
I had faced any
kind of fear of heights
in eight years.
- Lean back in your belt.
- LINNETT: That's okay, Murph.
- You're fine.
- That's a hell of a lot taller
than that telephone pole
we were on a few days ago.
Young,
how you feeling right now?
- Feel good. - Yeah?
- Um... - This is familiar zone.
And, Young,
since you had a faster time than Murph
in the individual competition,
you got to decide the order.
And do you want to go first?
Murph's got to get
on top of that building.
I'm so worried about
him tackling that fear.
I'm thinking
Young's got this, hands down.
- You ready to go? - Yes, sir.
- All right, let's do it.
- YOUNG: I've been a firefighter
for nine years. I mean,
you want to be fast,
you want to be efficient,
but do it the right
way every time.
Young,
you ready to put out the fire?
- [work whistle blows] - Come on,
Young!
- KEOGHAN: All right.
- Go, Young!
KEOGHAN: Now
connecting his first hose.
Remember,
they can only grab one at a time.
YOUNG: I've been
in plenty of training
where things can mess up,
and you definitely don't
want those to happen.
KEOGHAN: Wow. All right,
well, Young off to a flying start.
- He's connected two hoses.
- The plan is
to don't get it
kinked or get stuck
under the stairs, and then once
you open that water,
nothing comes out.
♪
It's on to hose number three now,
flying up and down.
- Come on, Young!
- Let's go, Young!
KEOGHAN: Pacing himself
on to hose number four.
♪
KEOGHAN: That fire
gear is pretty heavy.
- MITCH: It is. - Yeah.
Probably about 35, 40 pounds.
Plus the hose is
another 25 pounds or so.
-Come on, Young!
-Let's go, Young! -Come on, Young!
KEOGHAN: There you go.
Hose number five for you, Young.
He might be able to do it with five,
do you think, Chief?
- He might make it.-I mean,
he's taking the nozzle.
MITCH: Yep.
- MICHELLE: There he is!
- Come on, Young!
CALLIE: He's not gonna make it.
- He's short. - Are you sure?
YOUNG: A little short.
We've been saying,
through all these challenges,
that one mistake can
mess up the whole thing.
He is on the roof. There he is!
- Come on, Young!
- KEOGHAN: Now, the water
will either fill
the entire hose,
or Young's gonna have to
go backand search the kinks
that are blocking it.
YOUNG: I may have had a bad
connection on one of the hoses,
'cause when I
opened up the bale,
a lot of water spilled on me.
KEOGHAN: Get it, Young, get it!
Get that aim right!
There's one out!
- [whooping] - Come on!
KEOGHAN: Oh! The
other one's come back on!
- It's out.
- MICHELLE: Come on, buddy!
KEOGHAN: All he has to do now,
guys,
is just rappel down.
As soon as both feet are on the ground,
clock stops.
- Come on, Young!
- Come on, Young!
KEOGHAN: Oh. This
is... that's gonna be
- the hardest part.
- There we go!
- Nice! - There we go, Young!
- Come on down! - [whooping]
Great job, Young!
[overlapping shouting]
- Great job. Yeah!
- Down, down, down, down!
Get ready to stop the clock.
- Down! - Stop the clock!
Great job!
- That was cool!
- Nice work, buddy!
Feel good?
- Yeah, I feel good. - Yeah?
You have a firefighting challenge,
with heights,
and you have the firefighter
and the guy who's
scared of heights.
Murph,
he's gonna have to really pull it together
if he's gonna get this
win. Murph is definitely
one of my biggest competitors,
so if he punched out tonight,
it wouldn't be the end of the world,
because...
there's only one winner,
and I want it to be me.
Okay, Murph,
are you ready to get to work?
[work whistle blows]
- Let's go, Murph!
- Come on, Murph!
YOUNG: The worst part
about it was the couplings.
I'm like, I know these couplings
are gonna mess me up.
MITCH: Oh, yeah.
TARA: Come on, Murph!
Calm and steady.
KEOGHAN: There
you go. That's it.
He's taking his time,
Chief. He's getting it done properly.
On to the second hose.
LINNETT: You got this, Murph!
KEOGHAN: Nice and
methodical. Good job.
MELISSA: Come on,
Murph! You got it, Murph!
KEOGHAN: There you go,
Murph, there you go.
TARA: Details, get the details.
- KEOGHAN: Is it looking good right now, Chief?
- MITCH: It's looking great.
He's giving himself
a little extra room,
so it shouldn't kink
around the corner.
KEOGHAN: And he's not
rushing; he's taking his time.
MITCH: Yeah. You rush,
you make mistakes.
KEOGHAN: There you go, Murph!
LINNETT: Keep a good pace,
Murph!
KEOGHAN: There you go, Murph!
That's it! He's focused.
MURPH: This is a lot harder
than what I thought it would be.
I'm carrying hoses.
I'm not even
wearing the air tank,
but just going up those stairs,
trying to get the hoses
to line up without kinking,
trying to pay
attention to detail
while you're breathing heavy.
My legs were burning.
Remembering to
even grab the nozzle.
I just kept replaying in my head,
like, all the steps.
YOUNG: Just want
him to get through it,
'cause I know, uh,
the rappelling part is a big issue.
Let's just hope that he's
done everything right so far,
getting those hoses together.
He's going to the roof, guys!
- He's getting to the roof!
- LINNETT: Come on, Murph!
LEE: I see him,
I see him up there!
CALLIE: Come on, Murph!
- There he is! There he is!
- Hopefully, his aim is good.
There he goes.
Pressure is going on.
Water's going through!
[cheering, shouting]
MURPH: My hands are trembling right now,
'cause it's
the first time I ever
handled a fire hose,
so there's a lot of power there.
Ready to spray it down.
His aim is good.
- Going for the second one.
- [whooping, shouting]
It's time to climb down.
All he has to do now,
guys, is just rappel down.
MURPH: I could
admit when I'm scared,
and I'm scared right now.
KEOGHAN: It's a long way up.
All you got to do now, Murph,
isget down to the ground safely.
Two feet on the ground,
the clock will stop.
Murph,
this comes down to you facing your fear.
We got you here.
Trust in your gear.
MURPH: I just hear
somebody just yell,
"Trust in your gear,"
and that's all
I'm gonna do right
now is trust in my gear,
and I'm gonna try to get
down the wall as fast as I can.
LINNETT: Come on, walk it down!
Come on, don't look down.
LEE: Look at the wall,
baby, come on down with it!
[overlapping shouting]
Come on, Murph!
LINNETT: There you go! Come on,
Murph, go!
[shouting, whooping]
You got this, Murph!
[cheering]
He's walking it down
as fast as he can.
♪
- Yeah! - [shouting, cheering]
Talk about facing your fear!
When I looked up to see Murph,
and I see him going down
the side of that building,
I want to cry.
It's got meaning to me,
to see somebody
face their fear like that,
to put their fear
in the background
and say, "Hey, forget it,
I'll deal with you later,
but right now I got...
I got to do this job."
Man,
I don't know how many people can do that.
Everybody's got
tears in their eyes.
I got tears. Michelle h...
You want a tissue?
I... I'm-I'm so
proud of them both.
That was a hell of an operation,
and they both got it done.
KEOGHAN: I am
proud of both of you,
but unfortunately,
one of you will be cut
from the individual
Tough As Nailscompetition.
Young, your time was 10:42.
And, Murph...
your time was...
MICHELLE: Oh, wow.
I'm sorry.
You good, man.
- Sorry. - You good, dude.
MURPH: I really
thought that as soon as...
they told uswhat the challenge was,
I was...
I was anticipating
punching out today.
But I'm glad that my
kids get to see that
you can be scared of
something and still...
still accomplish the mission.
Young,
you've experienced four overtimes.
You've survived three.
You gave it everything today.
Unfortunately,
your time has run out.
-Even though it's... it's bittersweet,
-Oh, yeah.
-you have to... have to punch out.
-No, it's all good.
- It's all good.
- All right. I appreciate you...
- giving it everything you got.
- Good job, Young.
♪
YOUNG: It definitely
doesn't feel good to be out,
but, uh,
I still have my team with me.
Luckily, thankfully,
it was Murph.
You know, 'cause, you know,
that's my guy right there.
You did a great job.
I'm so proud of you.
Murph, you deserved that,
though.
I'm so proud of you.
Both y'all did great.
CALLIE: They were
in a... over a
ten-minute challenge.
I thought Young
was gonna have him,
but Murph stayed so strong,
and it was
an incredible overtime.
Good work, man. Good work.
DANNY: I'm in the final five.
I am feeling great
at this moment.
It's one step closer to the
bigger prize of $200,000
and that Ford truck.
And I definitely want
to bring that
home to the family.
Hey, man,
I got to shake your hand.
For facing your fear,
man. I don't know how you did it.
DANNY: Murph,
he's never made any win easy.
The dude kills it.
Somebody who works like that,
it's gonna be hard to beat.
Man, I'm proud of you,
man. Anybody who can face
their fear of heights,
man, like you did,
it's amazing, it's amazing.
