-That is so much money.
-I've never seen this happen! Let's go!
So far, "The Wall" has paid out over $25 million.
This is an all-time record!
He was right! It's the correct answer!
Get the answers... Drop it.
...the Wall adds money.
Oh, my God!
And now with even more exciting ways to win...
We are in Wall to Wall.
-Obviously, you want to go big.
-Ugh!
-But make a mistake...
and the Wall takes it away.
-N-o-o-o!
**
-Tonight, two sisters from Kansas
are gonna get their dream shot.
Melissa built a thriving small-town restaurant
from the ground up.
Staff felt like family. Locals loved it.
She even made a point to hire people
in need of a second chance.
But then tragedy struck.
She lost the entire business due to a devastating fire,
and now she's hoping for a chance to rebuild.
These are hardworking sisters, and they're also best friends.
And they're here to take on the Wall right now.
-Welcome to "The Wall" on NBC.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-Please welcome to "The Wall" Liz and Melissa!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hello! How are you doing?
Nice to see you. Welcome. Thanks for coming.
It's really great to have you with us.
And if you're looking to rebuild your restaurant,
you know, there's potentially up to $12 million up on this wall,
which would be sufficient, I would imagine.
-Absolutely. -Oh, yeah.
-Before we get started, I just want to tell you a little
about these two fantastic women.
Liz and Melissa are sisters, grew up side-by-side in Kansas
where older sister Melissa led the way.
Liz now lives in Oklahoma,
where she works in support of at-risk youth,
and Melissa went the small-business route,
founded a popular restaurant called PlayMakers
in her hometown, and she made it a point
to hire locals who didn't have a lot of options.
-I hired a lot of people
that had recently been incarcerated
or were struggling with addiction,
a few single moms.
Even hired some while they were pregnant.
I always feel like it's important
to give a second chance.
-I struggled for years while I worked with Melissa,
and she continued to help me and never give up on me.
For that, I'm forever in her debt.
She's absolutely integral to me being clean and sober today
for five years, and that's amazing.
-That's incredible.
But in an instant, everything changed.
You get this tragic phone call that there's a fire
and PlayMakers is engulfed in flames.
And when the smoke was cleared, there was nothing left.
-When I pulled in on the highway,
I could see the fire from my house.
It was just -- It just gutted me.
I didn't know what to do.
And then we wake up the next day,
and I just -- I didn't want to get out of bed.
And if it hadn't been for my sister and my husband
like, "This is okay. We're gonna get through this."
-Yeah. -"You know, we're gonna
get right back up on our feet
and everything's gonna be great."
So this hopefully will give us the chance
to get that rebuilt and hire everybody back...
-This is your second chance. -...and get back to work.
-Well, that is my hope for you
because you deserve a second chance.
I'm hoping we can make this happen for you today
because already you've done so much
for the people in your life.
Later in the show, the million-dollar bin
is on the Wall, and we're gonna give you 10 chances
at that million dollars.
But first we're gonna start with Free Fall Plus.
Let's load up those three balls.
So, you know how this works. You have to lock in your answer
before the first ball breaks the plane
on the top of those slots right there.
And then we just have to finish Free Fall
on the positive for a chance
to go on to play for millions of dollars.
You see now the little Plus sign on that disk right there.
If you feel very confident that you know an answer,
you can hit it.
You get to do that one time in Free Fall.
It will turn the balls gold, double the amount.
But if you're wrong, it also means
that you'll lose whatever double the amount was.
So just make sure that you're really sure about it.
And that's it. Are you ready to start?
-We're ready. Whoo! -We're ready.
-Here comes the first question of Free Fall Plus.
Is it...
-BeyHive. BeyHive. -BeyHive.
A, A, A, A, A!
-Okay. I see 10,000.
I see $10.
And a 25,000.
$35,010.
That, of course, is the right answer.
BeyHive is the right answer. Congratulations.
[ Laughter ]
-That was the best miss.
"Alright! Yay!" -Whoo!
-Alright. $35,010. Fantastic start.
It's time for question two of Free Fall.
Is it...
-Atom, atom, atom. -Atom, atom, atom.
-B, B, B, B! -B, B, B, B!
-Go, go. -Come on, come on.
Okay. Could be 1. Could be 5,000.
It's a 5,000.
20,000. 10,000.
$35,000.
Of course an atom is smaller than a cell.
That's $35,000 added to your total.
Right now your current total is $70,010.
Alright. It is time for question three of Free Fall.
Is it...
-C, C, C, C, C. B, B, B, B, B, B.
Okay. Come on. 25,000!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
-10,000.
5,000.
Very confusing. "A" was "A." "B" was "C."
-I know. I was like -- -C is the correct answer.
-Whoo! -Did we get it?
Did we answer?
-We now have $85,011.
$85,011.
As we go to question four of Free Fall.
Is it...
-"George of the Jungle." B, B, B, B, B.
-...Free Fall Plus.
And there's a 20, which could be a 40.
And there's a 25, which could be a 50.
And a 1, which could be a 2.
You activated Free Fall Plus.
You said "George of the Jungle," which is a correct answer.
Watch out for that tree.
25,000 becomes 50. 20 becomes 40.
1 becomes 2.
Which means your total on the Wall right now --
$175,013.
Holy cow. -Oh, God.
-We're well into the six figures,
but let's keep this going,
see if we can get as much money as we can.
Here's question five of Free Fall.
Is it...
-Salt. A, A, A, A! -A, A, A, A, A, A!
-Alright. Alright. 25 will get us over 200,000.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
25. Oh, there's a 10...
Okay. $5,110.
Of course, we wouldn't take it with a grain of pepper.
We take it with a grain of salt. So there you go.
Another correct answer.
You have swept Free Fall five for five.
Your grand total on the Wall is $180,123.
Ah.
So this is where it gets really challenging
because later you're gonna have
a very difficult decision to make,
which is to keep guaranteed money --
just under $200,000 plus a bonus.
You know, we give you 20 grand for every correct answer.
That is gonna be a very difficult decision,
whether or not to keep that money or tear up the contract
and risk for whatever might be left on the Wall.
Before the game, you decided that Liz is gonna go
behind the Wall into isolation. Why did you decide this?
-Because she's the smartest.
She's great at deductive reasoning,
so I think she'll take her time and get through that.
And she's gonna do great. I just know it.
-You know, she's a big kitchen boss.
She's gonna be bossing these balls around,
telling them where to go.
So she's gonna do great out here.
-I'm gonna be rooting for you this whole time,
and I'll be here to help get you through it.
And the next time you see each other,
you could have millions and millions of dollars.
-Melissa, I remember getting the call
when your restaurant burned down,
and I wanted so bad to be there for you,
but I couldn't because I was two hours away.
And I just wanted to hug you.
You've given so many people
second chances at your restaurant,
and this is gonna be your second chance today.
I know you're gonna do great out here,
and I'm gonna do my best to go back there and protect you.
We're gonna get 'er done. -We're gonna get 'er done.
Oh, my God. This will be our second chance.
This is for us. Okay?
-Let's do this. -Let's do it.
-Alright, Liz, let's get you back there.
We're gonna open up the Wall.
We'll see you in a little while.
And you're gonna do great back there.
How are you doing? -I'm doing good.
-From this point on, Liz is gonna have no idea
whether you're up millions of dollars,
whether you're down to zero.
And we'll just get through this together.
-Okay. -We'll do the best we can.
When we come back...
the million-dollar Superdrop kicks us off.
One, two, three, four! Yes!
And later, how risky will Liz be with her decision?
-This is the hardest decision I'm ever gonna have to make.
-How much will the red balls take from their total?
-Come on! Come on! Come on!
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Melissa.
She's a small-business owner from Kansas.
Her sister, Liz from Oklahoma, is back in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now
is a pretty fantastic $180,123.
Before we get back in the game, you seem to have a support team.
Who have you brought tonight? -I do.
I brought my wonderful husband, Earl,
and my niece Payton, Liz's daughter.
-How y'all doing? -Great.
-Good. Fantastic. We can all see
on the Wall right now the $150,000 bin there.
That's the top value on the Wall right now,
which means it is time for the Superdrop!
We're gonna turn on the balls. We're gonna load every slot.
Let's load up those green balls.
But I do want to remind you at the end of the round
these will all turn red.
I don't like to focus too much on that,
especially when we're about to just give you a ton more money.
Alright? Here we go.
Let's go ahead and Superdrop it!
-Come on!
-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
Oh, that's good.
-Come over here. Come over here. Here, here!
-There's a 150. There's a 150.
There's a 75. There's almost another 75.
-25, 75, 150.
-Whoo! -[ Speaking indistinctly ]
-I know because already --
We're just kind of just starting the game,
and you already have $430,145.
That's nice.
-Yes. -Alright.
-Now, here's where we get to the questions.
You get to decide where to play the ball from.
5, 6, 7 are hovering over larger amounts.
Could be a riskier play.
If you're less confident, 1, 2, or 3 are over lower amounts,
and that's gonna protect the money you have.
Then later, a new thing we've added this season
is called Wall to Wall, where I'm gonna turn a ball gold.
You drop it in. Seven gold balls up there.
We're gonna give you the option to try for more money
than ever if you choose to do that.
Here are the answers for your first question.
Alright. -Oh, my gosh.
It can be anything. -Yeah.
-So I'm gonna play this kind of safe.
-Sure. -Let's go with 3.
-Okay. 3. -I'm gonna play it safe.
-3 is as good of a number as anything. Why not?
-Alright. -Alright. There's number 3.
There it goes. Let's send Liz the question.
-You got this.
[ Starter pistol fires ]
-Okay. You got this. Come on.
-Nearly 28 miles per hour? That is so fast.
That was faster than your first car that you got.
[ Laughter ]
Um, I don't -- I think I'm gonna get rid of C.
That doesn't make sense.
I'm gonna say probably 60 to 80 meters
would make sense to me that he would reach that speed.
So I am gonna go with B. Lock it in.
-Alright. -So it took him
only 1.61 seconds to cover the ground between
60 and 80 meters.
That's the correct answer! -Whoo-hoo-hoo!
-Alright. You played number 3, which could be very good.
Drop it!
-Go. Go. Come on. Come on.
Big. Over here. Over here.
Come on.
That's okay. That's alright. -Come on. Come back around.
-This way.
-Alright. $5,000.
-That's great...
-$435,145. Great job. Okay. This is very good.
'Cause Liz got the first question right,
I'm gonna add $20,000 to your guarantee.
That means your guarantee is currently about $200,000.
So -- [ Laughs ] Tough decision for later.
But for right now, here's your next set of answers.
-Ooh! Food! Charcuterie board maybe?
-Who knows? -It could be.
-Could be anything. Do you want to double up?
-I think I do want to double up. -Alright.
-And I want to go --
Let's go right down the middle with number 4.
-Okay. We're doubling up from 4.
First one. You're gonna put a second one in.
We doubled up.
There that goes.
And let's send it over to Liz.
-Oh, boy, Melissa. This is right up your alley.
All this food, with your restaurant.
Okay. We love getting the charcuterie boards.
I'm gonna say meat doesn't make too much sense,
so I want to do away with C, get rid of it.
And that leaves us to cheese and crackers.
Um, I'm gonna go with charcuterie and cheese.
"A." Lock it in.
-Alright. -Okay.
-French term denoting a certain kind of food shop.
Charcuterie refers to smoked meats.
-Meat. -It was meat.
You knew this, You actually saw it.
You knew what the question was about,
and you immediately knew it was about meat.
You doubled up from number 4.
Let's just go ahead and drop it!
-You're gonna go in the 1. In the 1.
You can go there or there. Let's go. Whoo. Okay.
Go to the 1. Turn around. There you go. Come on.
-Oh, they criss-cross a couple times.
Get in the 1! Get in the 1!
Yes!
Oh. 25. 25. It's alright. -We're good.
-You only lost $25,001,
which makes your total $410,144. -Awesome.
-Alright. Here's your next set of answers.
-Wow.
-Now, this is the third question.
So I'm going to give you a host of options.
-Okay. -You can play one ball
if you're not feeling particularly confident.
You can play three and triple up.
Or you can go Wall to Wall.
We're gonna make one fancy ball turn gold,
and then we put seven fancy balls up there.
Obviously you see how that could get the money up,
but you also see what it could do
if she doesn't get the answer right.
It's a big swing to take.
-So scary 'cause I don't really know any of this.
-I know. That's why the game is hard.
-But maybe she does.
I don't think I'm gonna go Wall to Wall.
-Okay. -I'm just going to drop one.
-Okay. So where would you like to drop that from?
-I'm going to go with number 7.
-One ball from 7. Okay. -One ball from 7.
-Okay. I like that. You're like, "I'm going to be risky,
but we're not going to freak out about it."
Alright. Let's send Liz the question.
-Okay.
Alright, sis. Come on. Come on.
-Oh, sister.
I hope you tripled up on this one, girl,
'cause I know this one.
And I have always wanted to go here.
Maybe if we win us enough money,
we will all take our family on vacation here.
We're going to go with "B," Blue Grotto.
-Lock it in, and, girl, I hope you tripled up. Whoo!
-Oh, God. She's gonna kill me.
-You didn't know that this would be a place
that she always wanted to go? Yes. It's the Blue Grotto.
That is correct. But you know what?
You still played great. You played one ball from 7.
So it has a good shot of going in the 150.
Go ahead and drop it! -Come on. Come on. Whoo!
There it goes. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Don't make me regret this.
-Don't be afraid to get in there! Oh!
Sonuva...
-I'm alright. I'm alright. We're good. That's good.
-That was so close. Oh. -All good.
-We only added $100 to your total.
$410,244.
But we added another $20,000 to your guarantee.
So now you're guaranteed like 220.
And it's going to be interesting because I know she knows
she got that one right. -Oh, yeah.
-So now in her head she's like,
"Okay, we have more than $200,000."
That's gonna make that decision really hard later.
But right now we have to focus on the nasty business
of the evil Superdrop.
We dropped seven green balls.
Now we have to drop seven red.
And hopefully it's not a lot.
Let's load those up. Evil!
-Red. All ones. All ones.
-Go ahead and Superdrop it!
-Okay. Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Right here. Right here. Right here. Right here.
Here. Here. Here! Here! Come on!
-Oh, there's a 50.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
-Alright. 10.
Alright. Well, it did a lot of damage.
But it didn't totally wipe you out.
You lost $235,021.
But that's okay. Your total is $175,223.
Still a lot of money going into the next round, right?
This is where the biggest game in the world takes off.
We are adding the million-dollar bin when we come back.
-Alright. Be good to me.
With four free shots at it...
-Over here! Over here!
-[ Laughs ]
-...how many millions will Melissa add to their total?
Get over there! Could it happen?!
Yes! Yes!
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Melissa.
She started a restaurant from the ground up
in her Kansas hometown, made sure
to hire locals in need of a second chance.
And after a tragic fire cost her the business,
she's looking to rebuild
and rehire all the people who made it great.
Her sister Liz is back in isolation.
Their total on the Wall right now is 175,223.
As you can see there, we've added
a million-dollar slot to the Wall.
We've lit that up beautifully. But not just a million.
I mean, there's still a lot of money in the other slots.
So we're going to start this round with four green balls.
Four free shots at that million.
But then wherever you decide to play those from
is going to come back later as red balls
to try to take away from you in the middle of the questions
where you can tip the scales in your favor
or against it. Alright.
So where would you like to play that first green ball?
-We're going to put the first one in 3.
-Alright. Go ahead and drop that in there.
**
-I have three kids. My husband has three kids.
All amazing. All hard workers. So let's do number 3.
-Okay. Number 3 for the kids.
This could take you over $1.1 million.
So go ahead and drop it! -Come on. Over here.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Come on. Here. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on! Come on!
-Come to the right. -Come to the right. Come on.
-Come to the right. -Over here. Over here.
-Oh, come on! -Ooh.
No, no, no.
A dollar. $175,224.
That's alright. You still have three more shots.
Where do you want to play the next ball?
-This one we are going to play in number 6.
-Alright. Drop that in there.
That easily could drop in the million.
So let's see if we can get you to $1.1 million.
Go ahead and drop it! -Come on. Come on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
There you go. -There you go.
Come on. Get over there.
Get over there.
At least get in the 300,000.
300,000! There you go.
Oh, that feels way better. Yeah. Good.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now we got you back in the 4's.
Your total is $475,224.
And we still got two more drops.
Where do you want to play your third ball?
-Okay. The next -- Okay. We are going to go with number 1.
-Okay. Drop that in there. Number 1 slot.
Let's see if we can get that in a million.
This could take you over $1.4 million.
-That sucker's going over here.
-Go ahead and drop it!
-Come on. All the way over.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Okay. Okay.
Oh, my gosh. Could it happen? Could it happen?!
Ohh!
-Whoo!
-It's so hard when it makes the journey all the way over
and then just...nope.
Ugh. Just like getting a shot of adrenaline right in the heart.
Okay. You got $475,324.
You have the final green ball to play.
Where you gonna put that one? -Alright.
This is going into number 4.
-Number 4. Drop it in there. Alright.
-This is for my rock.
He worked four years on that restaurant.
Blood, sweat, tears.
I mean, couldn't really afford to hire contractors,
so he did it all.
Nights, weekends. To build our dream.
I love you so much. You are everything.
-This is for Earl in number 4.
I feel like we're due for a big amount.
So I feel good about this one. We're going to do this.
Come on. This can take you over $1.4 million.
Go ahead and drop it! -Come on. Come on.
Alright. Alright. -Oh, yeah. That's it.
-Yes. -Getting to the right.
Get back to the right! Come on!
-Yes! Get over here! Get over here!
-Yes! Yes!
Oh, my gosh! Come on!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
-Ohh-ohh-ohh!
I love it. Okay. So the 1 was a good practice.
And then the 4 was like, "No, this time I'm going in."
You hit a million dollars,
and just like that, your total on the Wall
is $1,475,324.
Holy cow.
Then we have to get to the questions. Alright?
As you know, I'm going to give you the answers.
Here they are.
-Okay. These are Shania Twain songs.
She loves music, not so much country music.
I'm gonna go and kind of save just in case
and go with number 2. -Okay.
Drop that in number 2.
Alright. Let's send the question over to Liz.
**
-* Let's go, girls *
* Hoo! *
-* Man, I feel like a woman *
-Oh, boy, Melissa.
Even though we're from the country,
I was not a fan of country music,
but I did like Shania Twain.
-Oh, good.
-Those were all really good songs.
And I do remember all of those.
"Honey, I'm Home" is the one that kind of sticks out.
I am gonna go with "B," "Honey, I'm Home."
Lock it in.
-She said, "B," "Honey, I'm Home."
With around 30 million albums sold,
"Come On Over" is the biggest studio album in country music
by a female artist,
in the top 20 of all-time best-selling albums.
"Honey, I'm Home" was on that album.
"Any Man of Mine" was the correct answer.
-Ohh! Okay.
-"Any Man of Mine" was the correct answer.
I'm so sorry. So number 2 was a good play.
Got a lot of money on the Wall. Go ahead and drop it!
-Okay. Okay.
Okay. Come on.
-Alright. Stay on the left. Stay on the left.
-Go, go, go! Come on. Come on.
-$10. Nice job.
-Whew. -Alright.
You still have $1.4 million on the Wall.
$1,475,314.
We'll take a quick commercial break.
Melissa's got two questions left.
Have you thought about doubling up, tripling up?
Do we know? You know what? We'll figure it out in the moment.
Anything could happen.
With a massive total on the Wall
and millions still up for grabs...
Do you want to triple up at this point?
-Oh, gosh. It's so tough. I don't know!
-...will these sisters from Kansas walk away millionaires?
-Stay out of the million!
-Stay to the left! Stay to the left!
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Melissa.
She's got two questions left in the game.
Back in isolation, her sister Liz has no idea
how much money is on the Wall right now.
$1,475,314.
Alright. So here we go.
Here are the next answers for the next question.
-Wow.
-You could double up if you wanted to.
-This is a toughie, too. Let's see.
-I mean, not to add any pressure, if you double up
and they both fell in the million,
that would get you to 3.4.
But if you double up and she gets it wrong
and they both land in the million, then it's zero.
-Oh. So I think I'm going to --
You know, 4 was really good to me earlier.
-Right. -I'm going to play it
right down the middle.
-So you're going to play 1 or 2?
-Just one. I'm not doubling up. -Okay. Okay. Alright.
-Nope. -I think that's wise.
Send it over to Liz.
-Alright, Liz, come on.
-I think I'm going to get rid of "B," college professor.
A physicist? Hm. I don't know.
I'm going to get rid of "C," physicist, too.
So that leaves me cartoonist and surgeon.
And both kind of make sense.
-Ugh. Oh, my gosh.
-I think I am going to go with "A," cartoonist.
Lock it in.
-Alright.
Elaborate multi-stage contraptions.
There's a ton of YouTube videos of people
building Rube Goldberg machines.
And Reuben Lucius Goldberg was known for drawing
satirical, complicated cartoons.
-Oh, my God. -She's absolutely right.
You played this beautifully. That's a green ball.
We're going to add some money to the Wall.
Let's see if we can get you to $2.4 million.
Go ahead and drop it.
-Alright. Going to the million. That's my 4.
Come on. Come on. There you go. Come back over here.
-Kick to the right.
-Come on. Come on.
-Okay. That could be a 4. That could be a 4.
-400! 400! 400! 400!
500! Or 10. Or 10.
-It was almost right in the 5. -Oh.
-Almost right in the 5.
Our Rube Goldberg machine has dropped that ball in a $10 bin.
$1,475,324.
Here are your next set of answers.
Now, do you want to triple up at this point?
Tripling up could get you to $4.4 million if it works out,
but it could also take you down to zero.
-Oh, gosh. It's so tough. I don't know. Do I go for it?
Do I go for it or play it safe?
-Play it safe. -Play it safe.
-Play it safe? -Go 4.
-Okay. 4 again. -Are you going to triple up?
-I'm not going to triple up. -You're not going to triple up.
-One ball in number 4. Let's send her the question.
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, okay.
I am going to go ahead and get rid of "A"
because I do think it happened longer ago.
I don't think it would've happened 13.8 billion.
That seems too far.
That leaves me "B" and "C,"
2.2 billion years or, "C,' 7 billion years.
How you doing down there, Melissa?
[ Laughter ]
I'm getting pretty nervous back here for this last question.
-Okay.
-I'm going to get rid of "C," 7.4 billion.
So I'm going to go with "B," 2.2 billion years.
Lock it in.
[ Applause ]
-Okay, so, you know, they study the wavelengths
of the cosmic microwave background
to try to determine how far back the oldest light
was beaming from.
It is an incredibly large number.
It was 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang.
So -- I know.
But you didn't triple up.
One red ball from number 4.
Let's just see if we can minimize the damage.
Go ahead and drop it! -Alright. Come on. Come on.
Give me the 1.
Alright. Come on. Please, please, please.
Please. Please, please, please. Right here.
-Stay to the left.
-Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
No! -Oh, now it hits the 400.
Now it hits the 400.
Alright. That was a big one. But that's okay.
You still have a million dollars left on the Wall.
$1,075,324.
Still a lot of money. -Right.
-Now it's deliberation time.
This is a really hard choice to make
between taking the guaranteed money
versus whatever she thinks is left up on the Wall.
I'm holding this tube, which, as you know, contains a contract.
Everyone who comes on the show
gets the opportunity to leave with guaranteed money.
So let's talk about where you're at right now.
Your Free Fall amount was $180,123, which is huge.
Liz got three questions right. $20,000 for each one of those.
So if she signs the contract,
you would be going home with $240,123.
So if she tears it up, she's risking
for whatever is left on the Wall at the end of the show,
which who knows what could happen.
We really have to get through those four red balls
as cleanly as possible.
So we're going to bring Liz back up on the Wall.
Obviously, she can't see you or hear you,
but use whatever sort of sisterly telepathy you have
and let her know what you're thinking.
-Alright.
Liz, you have done amazing.
I want to tell you to sign it, but, like, my gut's telling me
we're gonna go home with a big amount if you don't.
Ugh. I know It's a tough, tough, tough decision.
I know it is. I love you.
-There it goes.
And the contract is on its way to Liz.
She has the contract now.
We're going to have to cut off her feed.
We're not going to see her again till the end of the show.
She's got to make this decision in private.
-[ Sighs ]
**
This is the hardest decision I'm ever gonna have to make.
I know we had $180,000
and I think maybe I got a couple right.
So, you know, I'm thinking we have
a couple of hundred thousand for a guarantee.
But then I think there could be millions on the wall.
I mean, I feel like we played a good game.
And this is gonna be our only opportunity
to maybe win a million, and it could be more than a million.
I mean, there could be millions, plural.
I mean, it could solve so many problems.
It could definitely solve my problems,
and I know it could solve my sister's problems.
And that's the whole point of being here.
I wanted to give my sister a second chance.
I mean, she deserves it.
I didn't think it was gonna be this hard.
-Welcome back to "The Wall." I'm here with Melissa.
There's $1,075,324 at stake.
We're just waiting for Liz to make her decision.
[ Beeping ] There it is.
-Oh, gosh. Done. -It's done.
So now at least you can breathe a little sigh of relief
that everything is out of your control at this point.
All we can do is drop these four red balls.
-Alright. -So go ahead
and pick up that first red ball.
The number you chose was 3.
[ Applause ]
Okay. 3 is loading up there.
You're trying to protect the million dollars on the Wall.
Go ahead and drop it.
-Come on. In the 1 or the 10.
That's good. Come on. Right there.
-There we go. There it comes. -There we go.
-Stay to the left. Stay to the left.
Stay to the left.
-Keep going!
-Uh...
One dollar!
[ Applause ]
Nicely done. Nicely done.
-Whoo! -Alright.
They lost a buck.
[ Applause ]
Now your total on the Wall is $1,075,323.
The next number you chose --
a little on the scarier side, number 6.
[ Applause ]
Number 6.
-We're sending that 6 to number 1.
-Let's do it. -Okay.
-Hopefully it stays out of that million.
-Go ahead and drop it!
-Stay out of the million!
Nowhere over there! Come on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Stay to the left. Stay to the left.
Okay. Okay. Good. We're going way to the left.
-Come on. No!
-200,000. 200,000. Ohh.
Could have been worse. Could have been worse.
-I know. We're still great. -No. Look. Yeah. Listen.
-Okay. -You still have $875,323.
-Holy cow. -And the good news for you
is that the third number you selected was 1.
-Oh, yeah.
-So -- I think in the greens, it really skipped over.
-I know. You never know. -But you never know.
Hopefully that won't happen again.
So let's drop that in, in the number 1 slot.
Here we go. Third ball.
We're almost through this. We're almost through this.
-Almost. -And drop it!
-Alright. Come on. Come on.
You know what you're supposed to do.
Now do it!
-[ Laughs ]
[ Applause ]
-Okay. Over here.
-Okay. Okay. Stay to the left. Stay to the left.
-Stay there! No!
Yes! Yes!
-One dollar!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yes, yes, yes! Yes!
-Yes! Ohh.
This is one of those shows I feel like I'm gonna
ice my knees afterwards, you know?
[ Applause ]
$875,322.
You're doing great. -Oh, my gosh.
-The last one you selected was 4.
That did go in the million the last time.
So let's just make sure that doesn't happen again.
-Alright.
-And then we'll be in good shape.
-Be good to Mama.
-Alright. -Let's go.
-One more drop. -Alright. Be good to me.
-$875,000 on the Wall.
You're trying to protect that.
-Be good to us. -Don't be cruel.
Drop it!
-Alright. -Be nice to us, please!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Please be kind.
[ Applause ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
-Stay to the left. Stay to the left.
-Come on!
-Stay to the left!
$100,000! Oh, my gosh!
Melissa! Congratulations! This is great news.
Look at that. You only lost 100 grand.
$775,322. Okay.
This is very exciting because just in a minute
we're gonna find out how this story ends.
What decision did Liz make behind the Wall?
It's over there in that canister right there.
Are they going home with $240,000 or $775,000?
How are you feeling? -Uh. I don't know.
-Exactly. -I don't know.
-I don't know, either,
but we're gonna "I don't know" together.
We'll see you in a few minutes.
Coming up...
If you tore it up, you are risking
for whatever is left on the Wall.
...a decision worth more than $775,000.
-All I want to do is give you a second chance.
And so I thought about signing that contract,
but then I thought...
there could be millions on the Wall.
-Welcome back to "The Wall."
It is time to end the suspense and find out what Liz decided.
Let's bring her back out.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hello! Welcome back. How are you?
-Let me tell you what. It was no joke up there.
It was like a pressure cooker. So...
-It is. -Pretty nerve-racking.
-But you know what?
You handled it so beautifully, and you clearly know
you got the question right about the Blue Grotto.
-Yes. -That added to your guarantee,
but that only makes the decision harder.
You got three questions right, which is great.
So I'm going to give you $20,000 for each one of those,
which means that if you signed the contract,
it was worth $240,123.
If you tore it up, you are risking
for whatever is left on the Wall,
which you don't know yet, but I'm going to invite you
to come over and find out how this plays out.
**
-It was no joke up there. I'm telling you.
It was really, really tough.
**
All I wanted to do is give you a second chance
and to rebuild your restaurant.
And so I thought about signing that contract,
but then I thought there could be millions on the Wall.
And I really feel like we played an amazing game.
And I really feel like there was millions on the Wall.
**
And I have to tell you...
**
...that the decision I made...
**
I signed the contract.
-You know...
Bad luck always seems to, like, follow us around.
My restaurant burned down, left me with nothing.
So when I came here,
I wanted to make sure you could take a break,
you could take a vacation, take some time off.
We can all go on a vacation. That's all I've wanted.
Signing the contract was a good decision.
However...
there was $775,000 left on the Wall.
But listen. Listen.
I love you.
And no matter what... -We're going home.
-I am so happy right now.
-You're going home with $240,123!
This is life-changing!
You've done such wonderful work for your community
and the people there, and I hope this sends you
well on your way to getting PlayMakers
back up on its feet.
How do you tear up a contract that's worth over $200,000?
That is a really difficult choice.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope this makes your day a little bit better.
We'll see you next time on "The Wall."
$240,123!
