01x09 - Cut It Up

[bunniefuu]

PHIL KEOGHAN:
Previously on Tough As Nails..

- It's hazardous!
- Where you at, buddy?

KEOGHAN: As Myles
pulled his way to victory...

LEE: Good job, baby!

...Murph and
firefighter Young...

- Oh! - ...lost their way...

- Damn.
- ...forcing them into overtim.

Heights? You got
to be kidding me.

[work whistle blows]

KEOGHAN: In an epic duel,
Young fell to Murph...

This comes down to
you facing your fear.

MURPH: You can be scared
of somethig and still accomplish

the mission.

...forcing him to punch out...

YOUNG: It doesn't
feel good to be out...

...ending his hopes
at the individual title...

...but I still have
my team with me.

...and the $200,000 prize.

But tonight,
it's all about the team competition.

- [work whistle blows] -
In their very first battle..

Get this money!

...Savage Crew were
firing on all cylinders...

- Pull!
-...and pulled ahead for the win.

[whooping, cheering]

But then things went south...

I'm not losing two in a row.

...as Dirty Hands...

- Thumbs-up!
-...beat them in the junkyard...

-[whoops] -...and kept
the wins rolling in...

[cheering]

...causing Savage
Crew to hit rock bottom.

MICHELLE: We're falling apart!

They knocked
the... spirit out of me.

KEOGHAN: With their
backs against the wall...

- Let's go!
-...Savage Crew finally united...

This was our moment of glory.

...taking a long
overdue victory.

Thank you for whupping
our a*s so many times.

-That made us better.
-KEOGHAN: With the wind in their sails,

they used the momentum

to win the next one as well...

Our unity,
it can't be beat right now.

...bringing the score to 4-3.

In tonight's final
team challenge...

Let's cut it up.

...can Dirty Hands
finally get the win

to take the overall team title?

Or will Savage Crew complete
their storybook comeback

and force a tiebreaker?

- You got it! - Push through it!

- Which crew...
- DANNY: We're gonna keep fighting.

- ...will walk away...
- TARA: Dirty Hands

should be scared of Savage.

...as the first Tough As
Nais team champions?

It's all on the line right now.

-LUIS: He's bleeding.
-Medic! -Medic!

YOUNG: So, last night,

after being out
of the competition

for the individual one,
I sat there, thought about it.

And I'm going, you know,
"It sucks that I'm out,"

but we got to k*ll it today,
man.

Tie it up.

I mean, we went through
some bad times in the beginning,

and we still overcame that.

Now they're feeling
that pressure.

And they went from
winning all those things,

feeling all good
about themselves

to losing, so I don't know,

that-that might be
messing with their heads.

Right now,
we're going into our eighth team challenge.

Dirty Hands has four wins,
we have three.

We've been through so much

from the beginning till now,
so it'd be great

to just win that
team competition.

We had our own little
adversity amongst each other,

but we brought it together
and it's brought us closer.

This team is kind
of like the military.

We're obviously very different,
but yet,

we've bonded over
a short period of time.

We really feel
like we're a family,

we really care about each other.

And we might have a
chance to win this whole thing.

We're ready to bring it today.

Let's get another
Badge of Honor.

So let's tie it up.

MELISSA: I bet today,
we're going to have to use

our critical thinking,
our problem-solv... everything.

Including our endurance.

CALLIE: This is the last
team competition today.

And we've been on
such a journey together.

We've had highs, we've had lows.

But as a team, we have put our blood,
sweat and tears

into this for each other.

We have to keep them
from the tie so we're going in

- Good morning, everybody.
- ALL: Morning!

Welcome to the great outdoors.
Come on in and meet Walt.

He is a top five
timber sports champion

for the last five years

- here in America.
- LINNETT: All right.

Today is the last
team challenge.

- Yeah.
- And what's the score right now?



Savage Crew cannot tie it up.

Dirty Hands is gonna
give it everything.

We are gonna die out
there or we're gonna win.

Nothing's gonna stop us today.

KEOGHAN: For you,
Savage Crew, it's a chance

for you to even the score.


into a tiebreaker,

because there is
an overall team prize

for the team that
has the most wins.

$60,000.

- All right. Yeah!
- $10,000 each.

Lee, I can see you're motivated.

- We hungry, team? Are we hungry?
- We're hungry!

- We're hungry. - We're hungry.

LEE: We got everything together,
we just gonna go harder.

We gonna make sure there's no mistakes,
no error,

no overplay,
overthought and stuff.

They're starting to
get their stuff together.

So we really got
to pull it home.

We really got to bring it
today. We got to bring it.

There's also $12,000 on the
line for the team win today,

along with the final
Badge of Honor.

There's a lot at stake here.

- 72! - $72,000 on the line

here right now.

- Yeah! - [cheering, applause]

So, Walt,
tell everybody what the sport is

that you do and that
you're so good at.

WALT: Today we're gonna be, uh,

making big pieces
of wood smaller.

That's basically
what timber sports is.

KEOGHAN: As you
can see in front of you,

there are three different
timber sport challenges.

WALT: We got the
single buck right over here.

That's one person
using a crosscut saw,

moving the saw back and forth

until you complete the cut.

You got the underhand
chop right here.

Standing on top of the log,
you're gonna hit the log

with the ax until
it comes in two.

And right over here,
we have the stock saw,

which is one person
running a chain saw

making two cuts.

KEOGHAN: Cutting
off what we call

- a cookie? - A cookie.

KEOGHAN: Walt's
here to make sure you do

everything properly
and that you stay safe.

The way this is
gonna work is you guys

are gonna be going head-to-head.

One team member at a time
going on one discipline at a time.

You win a challenge today,
you win an ax for your team.

First team to win five axes

wins today's team challenge,
the $12,000

- and the Badge of Honor.
- [cheering]

- All right. Yeah. - [applause]

Dirty Hands,

if you win,
you will win the overall team competition.

However, if Savage Crew wins,

the overall score will be 4-4,

and we'll go into a tiebreaker.

Dirty Hands,
since you're leading the team competition

with the most wins,
you get to pick your first opponent.

Choose carefully,
because once somebody's been picked,

that person can't
be picked again

until everybody on the
team has had a turn.

Savage Crew,

that means you get to
pick the first discipline.

If we have you and Murph go,

would you feel
confident in these events?

Yeah. I-I can do any of them.

On cross-saw,
I'd be... I'm really good at that.

- These other two, I can do them either way. I'm good.
- Okay.

In individual competition,

I was knocked out
too early in the game.

Murph-Murph be my
competitor I need to knock out.

What I didn't do in the
individual I got to prove

to say, "I can do this."

I'm not gonna miss no
beat. We gonna be on it.

- Here we go.
- "Dirty Hands" on three.

- One... No, "Lee" on three.
- Two...

- One, two, three. - ALL: Lee!

So, Dirty Hands,
you had the first pick.

Lee, he wants to go first,
so he's gonna choose.

I'm-a choose Murph.

I think Murph is, uh,
one of our toughest competitors.

So our game plan is
let me knock him out...

I knock him out,
we'll be good to go.

You now get to pick which
challenge you want to do.

I'm gonna go with
the single buck saw.

- KEOGHAN: All right.
- LEE: I love it. I love it.

- Two big guys going at it.
- I love it, baby. I love it.

- I love it. - [applause]

Lee seems pretty confident,

but they really don't
know all my abilities.

I chop my own firewood at home.

I've used chain saws before,
so I'm ready to go.

I have to go against Murph,
and I have to beat him.

- Good luck. - Best man wins.

LEE: If I knock Murph
out of the competition,

everybody has to be
almost equally matched.

So, hey,
we put all our egg in the basket.

We got to go with this.

This gonna be a crush victory.

Remember,
first team to win five axes

wins today's team challenge.

Are you ready to saw?

-MURPH: Yes, sir. -You bet.
-KEOGHAN: Let's cut it up.

- [work whistle blows] - Go,
go, go, go!

- [cheering,
shouting] - Come on, Lee!

TARA: Quicker, Murph! Quicker!

KEOGHAN: Oh,
and Murph's saw is stuck.

- MELISSA: Let's go, Lee!
- MICHELLE: Yeah!

DANNY: Don't stop,
Lee! Don't stop!

- Let's go, Lee!
- [cheering, shouting]

KEOGHAN: Oh,
and Murph's saw is stuck.

MELISSA: Let's go, Lee!

TARA: Come on, Murph!

MURPH: I think Lee's a
pretty fierce competitor.

He's proven that he's
a jack of all trades,

but I also know that
it's an endurance event.

You have to have power,
speed and then stamina,

so I'm counting on
him running out of gas.

- LINNETT: Do it, Murph.
- MYLES: Keep it up, Lee!

- Keep it up! Keep it up, Lee!
- [cheering, shouting]

DANNY [fades]: Keep going!

KEOGHAN: Murph and Lee are even.

- Keep going! - Keep going, Lee!



I truly think Lee's gonna
pull out this win for us.

[cheering, shouting]

[cheering]

LUIS: Let's go, baby.

[whooping]

- DANNY: Good job, Lee.
- LINNETT: Great job, Murph!

Way to be savage!

Wow. What a
competition that was.

- Lee? What are you thinking?
- [panting]

LEE: I don't know. I put a little
bit too much pressure on my saw.

I know you're not supposed
to put no pressure on...

I got excited.

- Yeah.
- Supposed to let the saw work itself.

Murph got about two
pulls more than I did.

So it messed me up on that.

I was standing
too close to the log.

You can't get too
close to the log.

As long as you in
the right position,

you can do long stroke.

And I know I could have beat him,
but I made a mistak.

I knew I was racing a big,
strong man,

so I had to go as
smooth as possible,

'cause he's a tough competitor.

I'm ecstatic,
because they thought

they were gonna
get the win with Lee.

So I know that they're
second-guessing their strategy.

And I love to set them up
for doubt right off the bat.

- [applause] - Good job, Murph.

TARA: Good job, Murph.

Congratulations.

KEOGHAN: Murph,

you have won an
ax for your team.

You can put it in one
of the logs over there.

LINNETT: Good job, Murph.

- [applause] - [whoops]

- LUIS: There you go.
- MICHELLE: All right!

KEOGHAN: One ax to Savage Crew.

The first team to
get five axes wins.

Dirty Hands,
because you guys got the first pick,

that means that Savage
Crew gets the next pick.

MURPH: So who wants to go next?

- I'll go.
- You want to go and get it out the way?

- Let's do Young.
- I say Young versus Melissa.

YOUNG: I was the one
that knocked Melissa

out of the overtime challenge,

so my team picked Melissa
'cause they think maybe

I can get in her head by
going up against me again.

It's all about strategy.

And we're gonna win this one.

Young, from our team,
is gonna compete against Melissa.

- Okay. - KEOGHAN: Melissa.

You get to pick the discipline.

Remember,
there are only two left to choose from.

The underhand chop
and the chain saw.

- Chain saw. - All right, Young.

CALLIE: Melissa is out for
blood from Young because Young

beat Melissa in the
overtime challenge

that took Melissa out of
contention for the $200,000.

So Melissa's
going hard for this.

She's used a chain saw before.

And boom, Dirty Hands,
we're right back in it.

Melissa's got this.
She wants revenge.

So we're confident.

[engine revs]

KEOGHAN: Remember,
you need to make two cookies.

Your chance for some revenge right now,
Melissa,

and earn an ax for your team.

[work whistle blows]

DANNY: Go, go, go!

KEOGHAN: Young
has his first cookie.

Now Melissa has hers.

Go, go, go!

MICHELLE: Come on, come on!

Speed it up, speed it up!

KEOGHAN: Young's saw
isn't going all the way through.

Can Melissa catch up?

Young's saw is now free.

♪ ♪

[cheering]

[whoops]

MICHELLE: Way to go, Young!

[applause]

KEOGHAN: Melissa,
this is the second time

- you've gone up against Young and...
- Yep.

- MELISSA: It's all right.
- Pressure is on your team.

It's all right. They're awesome.

I hate losing,
and I am... I let my team down.

But we're still in it.

Savage Crew gets another ax.

The count's 2-0.

Win five axes,
you win the team challenge.

YOUNG: This win feels good,

'cause we're on
a roll right now,

so that's definitely gonna
mess with their heads.

Dirty Hands get to
make the pick now.

Who's gonna be competing
in the underhand chop?

Do you feel
confident in the next?

- I think, I think...
- MELISSA: We need to go weak.

DANNY: Myles on three.

- One, two, three. - ALL: Myles!

KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands,
who's gonna be competing?

- I'll be competing.
- And who is going

to be your opponent?

My team has chosen...

...Michelle.

All right.

David versus Goliath here.

MYLES: My team decides
to put me up against Michell.

You know, I feel bad,
but she's such a worthy opponent

that I can't hold back.

I'm a forestry tech,

and I also was
involved in forestry clubs

at my university,

so I need to get
this win for us,

'cause right now I'm
pretty desperate for it.

-At this point, we just need that ax.
-KEOGHAN: You ever,

uh, chop some wood before?

I've had an ax in my hand.

I'm, uh,
gonna see how well I balance up there,

and take the best chops
out of that wood that I can.

MICHELLE: Myles picks me,

and I'm not surprised.

He knows he can beat me,
and they need a win

more than anything.

But don't underestimate
a woman with experience.

KEOGHAN: Myles and Michelle,
you have faced each other before.

Time for some redemption.

Are you ready to chop some wood?

Yes, sir.

- [work whistle blows] - Go,
Michelle!

LINNETT: There we go!

- Oh, yeah!
- Good job, good job!

Just like a sledgehammer.

- Good job, Myles, good job!
- [others shouting]

KEOGHAN: Myles,
big overhead swing.

LEE: Good job!

Michelle, there she goes. Now,
she's getting her form in.

- LINNETT: Good job! Come on!
- There you go!

Get some momentum! There we go!

KEOGHAN: Myles is
absolutely destroying the wood.

Huge power coming from this man.

- [whooping] - There you go!

MURPH: Michelle
is once again provig

that she's a tough competitor.

There is nothing
that that lady can't do.

But unfortunately,
Myles is muscling it.

Big chunks coming off the log.

There you go, Michelle!

- [cheering] - Yeah,
you got it! You're done!

- Boom! - [whooping]

- Michelle, it's over.
- That's all right.

DANNY: Good job, Myles.

Michelle, tough one.

I knew they'd put up somebody
they knew they could get a win.

Myles, that was severe power.

My team needed that win,
so we had to strategize

and make sure it happened.

Myles,
you've just won your team an ax.

The score is 2-1.

Remember,
first team to five wins it today.

- [applause] - [birds chirping]

Savage Crew?

I'm going.

Who would you like to
pick from Dirty Hands?

Callie.

Callie,
you can choose from all three disciplines.

I'm gonna choose the chain saw.

- Ready for this? - [applause]

CALLIE: Only one person

gets to walk away with
the $200,000 and the truck,

but we have a chance
for all of us to walk away

with some money, so I'm going in

pretty cutthroat.

LUIS: Callie's very tough.

She has proven herself

time and times again.

So I'm trying to psyche mysef
up and get mentally ready.

I'm willing to just
lay it all on the line.

I want to show America

what Savage Crew is made of.

[chain saw revving]

This challenge,

all about skill and precision.

[work whistle blows]

No, no, no!

KEOGHAN: Callie...

Luis...

ready to make some cookies?

[work whistle blows]

Thing is not to force the saw.

No, no, no!

Luis cutting his first cookie.

Callie's cookie incomplete.
That won't count.

Callie still on
her first cookie.

Oh,
Luis got his chain saw stuck.

Go back straight through!

KEOGHAN: Callie
has a stuck blade.

CALLIE: I've never
used a chain saw

on dry land before.

I'm putting too much
pressure down on my saw,

and so it binds up,

and by the time
I figure it out...

KEOGHAN: Luis
wins for Savage Crew!

...it's just too late.

So now it is three to one,

and my team is behind.

We didn't think

we are the underdogs, and...

we just keep getting beat.

KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands,
you guys now

- get to make your pick. - Tara.

KEOGHAN: Savage Crew,
you can now pick the discipline.

Only the single buck

and the underhand
chop are still in play.

- We're gonna saw away.
- Let's get ready to saw.

MELISSA: Let's go, Linda!

DANNY: We have so
much ground to cover.

There's a lot more pressure,
and there's a lot on the lin,

but I wholeheartedly think

that Linda's gonna
win against Tara.

Linda has constantly performed,
always coming out on top,

so she's got to get

this win for the team.

Breathe through it
and dance with it.

- Mm... - Twist at the hips.

Twist the hips.

Come here.

LINNETT: Tara in the past

has had issues where she felt
like she was the weakest link.

I have to make sure I'm
getting my shoulders...

LINNETT: And I just wanted
to make sure she knew

that we rally behind her,

and we believe that
she's strong enough,

and she should always
believe she's strong enough.

LINNETT: You got this,
beautiful.

- Mm-hmm.
- MURPH: Just focus on breathing.

KEOGHAN: Linda...

Tara, you ready to get cuttin'?

- [work whistle blows] - Go!

- Come on! - Let's go, Tara!

-Power, Linda! Power!
-Let's go, Tara! You're doing great!

- Come on, Linda!
- LINDA: There are no limits to what I can do.

'Cause I've proved it time
and time again that I'm

just gonna keep doing what I do.

Get tougher and tougher.

KEOGHAN: Tara's saw is jammed.

LINNETT: Get a rhythm,

YOUNG: Linda, she's a beast,

TARA: I proved to my
teammates that I can do it.

I'm very proud.

I got them baby-making
hips for a reason.

KEOGHAN: Tara,

another great win for your team.

Please take an ax.
The score right now,

four to one.

Savage Crew taking it.
They just need one more ax,

and they will take out
this team challenge.

LINNETT: Hey!

To be able to
get that hatchet...

I mean,
words can't even describe it.

It's all right.

LINDA: Doesn't
feel good to lose,

but our team motto is,

"It's never over
until it's over."

We're still mid-competition,

and we take it
one step at a time.

That leaves only one person from
each team who hasn't competed.

Linnett and...

yes, the man Danny,
Drywall Danny.

And since there's only
one discipline remaining

before they all open up again,

you will be competing
in the underhand chop.

MICHELLE: Yeah, everything I did wrong,
you better do right, girl.

High, high, low, low,
high, high, low, low.

DANNY: With Savage Crew having four wins,
if I lose,

it's over,
and then we got to go to a tiebreaker,

and we do not want
to go to tiebreaker...

We want to take this win now.

So we got to pick it up.

We're not gonna
stop. We never have.

We never will. We're
gonna keep going.

We're gonna keep fighting.

LINNETT: Danny is

a very strong competitor,

but I believe as long as I
stay motivated and determined,

then I can do anything
I put my mind to.

KEOGHAN: Savage Crew,

one ax away from
winning this team challenge,

the $12,000 and
the Badge of Honor.

Also forcing the tiebreaker,

where there's
$60,000 up for grabs.

Danny, and your team.

Everybody has played.
All the challenges

CALLIE: We also have
to pick their strongest,

because otherwise,
next round, they're gonna pick

their strongest

the strongest
competitor on their team

Let's get this on. This
is gonna be a good one.

MURPH: I have a
lot of respect for Lee.

Lee could've picked anybody else,
but Lee picked

me twice.

- Just do you.

You know this game.
You know what I'm saying?

Humble him down.

All right, step up,

DANNY: Redemption, Lee.

- We at it again, man. Good luck.
- Yes, sir. Good luck.

If I'm gonna beat somebody,

I want it to be the
strongest person

on their team.

I'm extra motivated.

I'm gonna bust my a*s

to win just for the pride.

KEOGHAN: Lee,
got a lot of pressure on you.

If you win it for Dirty Hands,
you guys will

continue fighting it out
to try to get this team win.

LEE: We cannot afford

to let them get another ax.

So I got to knock him
out of the competition.

KEOGHAN: Murph, if you win this,
you will get the team win,

$12,000,
and then there'll be a tiebreaker.

-Come on, Lee. You got that fire.
-Come on, Lee.

LEE: Almost beat him last time.

If I don't make no mistakes,
I can beat him.

We have tied it up.

The team competition is 4-4,

and we are going
into a tiebreaker.

Only one team
will win in the end.

[sighs]

So,
here's how the tiebreaker works.

Each team will pick
one team member

to represent the entire team,

and that team member

will have to complete
all three disciplines,

one after the other,
going head-to-head.

First team to get all
three challenges done

wins the overall team prize

- and the $60,000. - [whistles]

-[exhales] -So,
get together and figure it out.

This might be the
biggest decision

that you've made since you've
been here on Tough As Nails.

- Myles or Danny.
- DANNY: I'm confident.

If you believe in yourself and you,
you think you can

- take it, I believe in you.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

LUIS: This one goes to you,
Mr. Murph.

LINNETT: Don't put too
much pressure on him.

- If you're good with it...
- I don't have to lead.

- I believe in you, man.
- Thank you.

That's all right. I mean,
I don't...

- Today's team.
- LINNETT: You sure you're okay?

- I'm good.
- LINNETT: I don't want him

to jeopardize hisself.

I don't want you
feeling no pressure.

- I'll do my best.
- He's still in it

for the individual win,

and for him to put himself
out there on the line for us,

it's humbling,
but it's also a honor.

Danny,
you picked all of us, man.

- Yeah.
- So we believe in you, man.

- Yes. - Yeah.

MELISSA: Danny just
volunteered... there wasn't

a hesitation in his voice,
nothing.

You have so much energy inside you,
it's terrifying.

I will take it.

- You'll take it? - Yeah.

MURPH: The mentality that
you're taught in the military

is that you give it
all for your team.

If I have to sacrifice

a personal victory
for my team to win,

then my team's gonna win.

KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands,
who is going to represent

the entire team?

$60,000 on the line.

What have you decided?

There is one person in this team

that's gonna bring
this home for us,

and we collectively choose
Danny to be that person.

- [applause] - MELISSA: Let's go,
Danny.

KEOGHAN: All right, for you,

Savage Crew,
this is a big decision as well.

Well, we decided that Murph

would be the best lead,
because he's been our backbone,

and he wants to
lead our team home.

MICHELLE: Murph,
that man's got heart.

I would follow him.

I would fight for him.

I'd be moppin'
the latrines for him.

And, Murph, how do you feel

about taking on that
pressure for your team?

I've taken a lot of pressure
in my... in my lifetime,

so I'm just gonna try
to represent my team

the best way I can and be
a good competitor to Danny.

KEOGHAN: You guys are both
still in contention for $200,000.

Has it even occurred
to you that you've got

the individual challenge or is
this all about team right now?

All about team.

- All about team.
- All about it.

I'd individual this
afternoon if I had to.

- That's right.
