- [man] Drop it. - Get it in there again!
[cheering]
- [chimes] - [man] Oh, God.
[Chris] So far, The Wall has paid out
over $35 million and counting.
This is an all-time record!
And give real people their shot to change their lives
and to live out their dreams.
[Chris] Let's go!
Who's next?
Yeah!
Tonight, the $12 million dream shot
goes to an amazing couple from Florida.
Vincent and Katy met and fell in love
while serving in the Navy.
He's now a firefighter.
But listen to this, one night,
Vincent's on duty, it's like 2:00 in the morning
when a newborn baby
gets dropped off at the fire station.
What happens next was unbelievable.
We'll tell you all about it,
this remarkable duo is coming up right now.
[announcer] Welcome to The Wall on NBC.
[theme music playing]
[cheering and applause]
Please welcome to The Wall, Vincent and Katy.
Woo! Yeah!
Oh, my gosh.
How are you doing, Katy?
- Oh, are we high-fiving? - Oh, yeah.
We're high-five-- we're high-fiving.
Oh, my gosh.
It's so good to see you both.
First of all, thank you both for your service to the country.
Oh, thank you for your support.
And also, additionally,
as a firefighter and first responder.
And this is just so mind-blowing,
it's such an incredible story.
Hailing from Ocala, Florida, Vincent's a firefighter,
Katy is an occupational therapist.
They're married nine years.
They met while serving together
on the same aircraft carrier.
[Katy] He was a master-at-arms,
which is like a military police officer,
and I was an aviation ordnanceman,
so I built and transported bombs and ammunition.
We did three tours, it was very rewarding.
[Vincent] When I left the military,
I knew that I wanted to help more people.
I have been a firefighter for the City of Ocala
for almost nine years.
[Chris] Working as a team,
happily dedicated to a life of service.
There was just one thing missing for Vincent and Katy.
[Vincent] We were trying to have kids about ten years.
And, uh, we did infertility for a while,
and that didn't work out.
We tried to adopt and, um, just no success.
But then one morning, everything changed.
At 2:00 a.m.,
a newborn was dropped off in the Safe Haven Baby Box
at Vincent's fire station.
[Vincent] The alarm had gone off and...
and as I opened up the door, you know,
she was sitting there, and just...
just laid there for me.
And, uh...
[cheering and applause]
I picked her up and that's probably the...
the second time in my life that something felt perfect.
I would have to say the first time was when we got married.
But, uh--yeah, I just--
we just looked at each other
and she just stops crying,
and just like staring at me the whole time.
Then once I got to the hospital,
I was like, "Oh, like, this-- I--we can actually adopt her,
like this could actually happen."
And I text her about 6:00 a.m.,
"Hey, call me."
Which is never, never a good sign.
Yeah, of course, that's-- is that ever good news?
Especially being a first responder, right?
So she calls me right away.
He's like, "Yeah, you'll never believe this.
Somebody surrendered a baby to the baby box."
And the first thing I said was, "Shut up."
[laughter]
[Chris] Already registered for adoption in Florida,
Vincent and Katy wasted no time.
And two days later,
they were bringing home baby Zoey
from the hospital, now a family together.
Vince, can I give you a hug?
- Yeah, of course. - Come here.
- Get over here. - Thank you.
[laughter]
I just-- I love you guys already.
- Thank you. - I love you guys already.
And it's really hard to watch your story and not get,
um, emotional about it.
Yes.
[Chris] You've given this child,
uh, a wonderful family.
I mean, it's so mind-blowing to me
that within 48 hours, like,
this thing that you've been trying for ten years,
- just like, "Oh, okay." - Yes.
- [Chris] "You're on. Go." - Yes, yes.
- [Chris] Yeah. - Exactly, yeah.
- Congratulations. - [Vincent] Thank you.
This is your night.
We're hoping you crush it.
Everyone already loves you
- right off the bat. - Thank you.
[Chris] So they're gonna want you to go home
with potentially more than $12 million
- up there on The Wall. - Yes!
Later on in the show,
the million-dollar bin is on The Wall.
And we're gonna give you
ten chances of that million dollars.
After that, of course there are red balls
which could be harmless or they could take it all.
But to earn a shot at the millions,
we have to make it through Free Fall Plus.
This is our speed game.
- You know how this works. - You must lock in your answer
before the first ball breaks the plane
at the top of the slots right there.
And then we just have to finish Free Fall in the positive
for a chance to go on to play for millions of dollars.
That's Free Fall Plus.
If you are very sure that you know an answer,
you may hit that, it will turn the balls gold.
If you get the answer right, you get double the amount,
or we will take it away if they turn red
if you get the answer wrong.
You can only use that one time.
- All right. - All right.
So let's get started.
Here's our first question of Free Fall Plus.
"Lined with vintage hotels and colorfully-lit buildings,
what famous 1.4 mile-road runs
through Miami Beach's historic Art Deco District?"
Is it Ocean Drive, Beach Boulevard.
Beach Boulevard. B.
Beach Boulevard. Okay.
[Vincent] Come on. Let's go. Let's go, baby.
Beach Boulevard. Let's go. Let's go. Right there.
Right there. Come on.
- Okay. Yeah. - Woo! Yeah, yeah.
- Okay. Okay. - Come on. Yeah!
[Chris] 30,000, $40,000. $40,000.
The correct answer is actually Ocean Drive.
- [Katy] Oh. - [Vincent] Oh.
[Chris] That's all right.
We're just right where we started.
- No problem. - It's fine. We'll be okay.
[Chris] Not a big deal.
There's still four questions to go.
Here comes the question.
"Who's the older member of the music duo Chloe X Halle?"
Is it Chloe Bailey or Halle Bailey?
Uh, Chloe.
[Vincent] Uh, okay. Okay. All right. Here we go.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Come on.
- [Chris] There's the 25. - There we go.
Come on. Let's go. Let's do this.
[Chris] There's a ten. There's a 20.
25. 55.
I don't know about that one, Chris.
- Oh, yeah, unfortunately... - [Katy] No.
... the correct answer was Chloe Bailey.
It was A.
It was A. That's all right.
We got zero dollars on the wall but it doesn't matter
'cause we still have three questions to go.
A lot of money up there up for grabs still.
- We'll be all right. - Okay.
[Chris] Here is your third question.
"Wayne Brady won an Emmy for his performance
on the improvisational comedy series
"Whose Line Is It..."
what?"
- Is it... - [Katy] Anyway.
[Chris] ... Whatever or Anyway?
- Yeah. B. - Anyway...
[Chris] There you go.
- [cheering and applause] - [Chris] All right.
[indistinct] let's get it, some of those 25?
[Vincent] Come on, 25. Right here, baby. Come on.
- [Chris] Is it gonna go 25? - [Vincent] 25. 25.
- [Katy] Yes! - [Vincent] Here we go.
- Here we go. Yeah! - [Katy] Woo!
- [Chris] 20, 20. - Yes!
- [Chris] 20, 20, 40. - Yes!
Ooh, if you're right,
this could be an $80,000 question.
And of course you are
- "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," - [Vincent] Yeah, there we go.
- That works. - [Chris] Of course.
You know.
One of the greatest shows
in television history.
Of course. This is good.
We went from 0 to $80,000 really fast.
Woo!
Here is your next question of Free Fall.
"What do first two letters of the popular social media
hashtag #GRWM stand for?"
Is it Grandparents React or Get Ready?
Uh, I don't know, A.
- Uh, A, A. - [Vincent] Uh, A, A?
- No, B, B, B, B. - [Katy] Is it B? Okay. Okay.
[Vincent] Here we go. Here we go. Come on.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Okay.
Come on. Come on. Oh.
- There we go. - [Chris] $20,101.
I have confidence.
I am so glad you did that
at the last minute--the second.
- [Vincent] Woo! - That's it.
That is the correct answer.
[Vincent] That's how it's done.
[Chris] Woo!
Thank you.
So basically, what they just did is that they hit A.
And I'm watching to see, like, they still have a second,
the ball hasn't broken the plane,
and in the last possible second, you hit B,
that counts, so you have $100,301.
- Yeah. - Nice.
- There we go. - [Chris] All right.
Here's our last question of Free Fall.
"Tangerines and clementines
belong to the same family of which of these fruits?"
Is it oranges or peaches?
- Oranges. - Oranges.
Oh, okay. Let's go.
- Let's go. - All right.
- [Chris] 5,000. - [Vincent] Go to the center.
This is money, man. Right here.
- Come down. - 10,000.
- Okay. 10,000. - Go ahead. Go.
Oh, okay. 10,000.
- 10,000. 10,000. - Yes, yes! 10,000.
- [Chris] And another $15,000. - Yes. Yeah.
[Chris] You better get that right from Florida.
Yeah, of course that's the correct answer.
- There we go. Yes. - Yeah.
[Chris] If you had said peaches, they would've been like,
"Get outta here. Go to Georgia.
You gotta move to Georgia.
That's where they keep the peaches."
$115,302.
- There we go. - Oh, my God,
you really turned this around, you know?
- We did. - Yes.
[Chris] And that's a very important amount
because later on, there's gonna be
a very difficult choice to make,
whether or not to keep guaranteed money,
which is your Free Fall total plus 20,000
for each correct answer during the body of the game
or potentially risk it
for whatever is left on the wall,
and we never know,
could be millions of dollars, could be zero.
Before the game, you decided, Katy, you're gonna go
- behind the wall... - [Vincent] Yes.
[Chris] ... and answer some trivia.
Why did you decide to?
Um, Vince knows me better than anybody
and he'll know based off the answers to the questions
if I have a good chance of getting it right,
so I think he's gonna play a really smart game out here.
All right. You're--hey, you're gonna do great.
Honestly, next time you see each other,
you could have millions of dollars.
Thanks.
I love you.
It's pretty crazy that we're here
but you deserve to be here.
You sacrificed so much for the people in your community
and for your family,
and you don't ask for anything in return.
[laughter]
I love you so much.
[audience] Aww.
Uh, Katy, we've been together
for almost 14 years now.
You are my best friend, you always have been.
You've been there for me,
you've been my rock when I've needed you.
Go back there, rock it.
You are the smartest person I know.
I always tell you that.
And you truly are the smartest person I know.
- I love you. - I love you too.
[cheering and applause]
All right, Katy, we have to ask you
to go back behind the wall.
You'll do great back there.
We're gonna do great out here.
[Chris] From that moment on, that wall door is shut,
she's not gonna have any idea what's going on out here,
if you're up a million or down to zero.
But I'm out here for you,
we'll get through it together.
When we come back,
the million-dollar SuperDrop kicks us off.
Here we go. Come on. Let's go.
Go to the right. Come on. Go to the right.
Woo! Yeah, there it is.
- [Chris] Oh, my gosh. - [Vincent] Yes!
[announcer] And later...
[Vincent] There we go. Good job.
[Chris] Yeah, that's it. Oh, yeah.
[Vincent] Come on. Over to the right.
Yes! Woo-hoo!
[announcer] An epic night unfolds
for this adoptive couple.
Go that way. No, no, no. Come on.
[announcer] Will Katy play it safe or risk it all?
It's really hard.
There could be a million dollars, you know?
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[cheering and applause]
[Chris] Welcome back to The Wall.
I'm out here with Vincent.
He's the sweetest, by the way.
But he's also a Navy veteran
and firefighter from Ocala, Florida.
Back behind the wall in isolation is his wife Katy.
She's also a Navy vet and an occupational therapist.
Their total on The Wall right now
is $115,302,
which is a great start.
Before I get back into the game, I see someone over there.
What--who did you bring for support?
That is my little brother, Rico.
Hey, Rico.
I'm taller than him though.
[Chris] You're taller than him?
- [Vincent] Yes. - [Chris] All right.
[laughter]
Of course, the competitiveness.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
By the way, this is round two,
I just wanna remind everyone
that we have now put $150,000 bin
up there on The Wall.
And Vince, we just--uh,
we're gonna start with the SuperDrop.
We want to add as much as we can to this total.
And let's SuperDrop it.
Here we go. Come on. Let's go.
[upbeat music playing]
[Vincent] Come on. There we go. There we go.
Come on. Go to the right side.
- All the way to seven. - All the way to the right.
All the way to your right. Keep going.
Keep coming, cash. Keep coming.
Come on. Let's go.
100. Okay.
- Go all the way to the right. - 100, that's all right.
Go to the right. Come on. Go to the right.
Woo! There it is.
- Yes! Woo! - There's the 75.
- Yes. - Oh, my gosh.
- $350,201. - Yes!
There we go.
[Chris] I mean, that was a fantastic SuperDrop.
[Vincent] Woo! Yes!
[Chris] Here is your total now,
$465,503.
- Perfect. - That's a nice place to start.
Just under half a million dollars.
Now, we're gonna get to the questions.
This is where you have a lot of control over the game.
5, 6, 7 are hovering over larger amounts,
could be a riskier play.
Uh, if you're less confident,
1, 2, or 3 are over lower amounts,
and that's gonna protect the money you have.
- It's all up to you. - Okay.
[Chris] Just whatever you feel.
Here are the answers to the first question.
Maya Rudolph,
Melissa McCarthy,
Kristen Wiig.
So based on that,
where do you wanna play this first ball?
Okay. So I know who Melissa McCarthy is
and so does she, so.
I am going to place the ball--
we're gonna go number 3.
[Chris] Okay. Number 3.
[cheering and applause]
[Chris] Drop it in there.
And now let's send the question over to Katy.
Yes!
[announcer] "Which of these comedians
played the maid of honor
in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids?
Maya Rudolph,
Melissa McCarthy,
Kristen Wiig."
Okay. I love Bridesmaids.
Yes, you do.
Bridesmaids is definitely top ten
of our favorite movies to watch.
So the maid of honor was C, Kristen Wiig, lock it in.
- Good job, girl. - [Chris] All right.
- There you go. - She just got right to it.
- Yes, yes. - Bridesmaids, uh, literally
one of the greatest comedies
- in the history of film. - Yes, it is.
And I'm glad that you both know that as well.
That is the correct answer, Kristen Wiig...
[Vincent] Yes! There you go.
... who also co-wrote the film.
Let's see if you could get over half a million dollars.
- Drop it! - Come on, ball.
Let's go. Over to the right.
Okay. Over on this right-hand side.
Here we go. Come on. Go to the right.
Let's go. Keep going to the right.
All right. This way.
No, no, wrong way. That way.
- [Chris] Get to the right. - Okay. It's okay.
Go to the right. Ten. There you go.
- [Chris] $10,000 is your money. - There we go.
Nicely done, 10,000.
A total of $475,503.
And because she got that question right,
we're gonna add an additional $20,000 to your guarantee.
- [Vincent] Okay. - That puts you around 135
- right now... - Okay. Okay.
[Chris] ... which is a very nice place to be.
Here are your next set of answers.
Fluorescence,
bioluminescence,
phosphorescence.
- Okay. - [Chris] By the way,
you can double up if you want to.
- [Vincent] Or not. - [Chris] Just an option.
- Just an option. - [Vincent] Okay.
So we're gonna play a single ball
and we're gonna go number 4.
[Chris] One ball for number 4.
[cheering and applause]
[Chris] All right.
Let's send her the question.
[upbeat music playing]
[announcer] Many jellyfish emit a glowing light
when a substance in their bodies
called luciferin reacts with oxygen.
This light-producing process is called what?
Fluorescence,
bioluminescence,
phosphorescence?
[Chris] Interesting.
[Katy] Okay.
So, Zoey loves the aquarium right now.
- Yes. - And, uh, she always loves
looking at the jellyfish
and watching them just kind of bob around.
For some reason bioluminescence is sticking out to me
because I feel like, you know, growing up in Florida,
we always had where you can take a kayak out to the water
and in certain times of the year,
the water would light up
and they would call it bioluminescence kayaking.
- Yup. - So I'm going to say
B. Bioluminescence. Lock it in.
[Vincent] Okay, okay.
All right.
There you go.
Jellyfish emit a glowing light
when a substance in their bodies
called luciferin reacts with oxygen.
This is called Bioluminescence.
Yes! There you go.
[Chris] Very well done.
You played one ball from there before.
This could easily hop into 150, so let's drop it.
[cheering and applause]
[Vincent] Here we go. Come on, ball.
- Let's go. Over to the right. - [Chris] Get in there.
Right this way to the right.
Come on, keep going. No, wrong way. That way.
Go to the right. There we go.
Big take, go. Right here. Right here.
Over here. Over here.
Okay. Okay. It's okay.
- [Chris] It's a dollar. - It's okay.
Well, I'll tell you why it's okay
because you got $475,504 on The Wall.
That's a lot. Here we go.
Here's our last set of answers for this round.
Ghost, Vampire, Spider.
It's the third question.
So you're gonna have three options right now.
You can play a single ball like you did the last time.
You can triple up if you want to
or if you're feeling particularly risky,
you can go Wall to Wall,
you put that gold ball in there, the ball in every slot.
And then we hope for the best.
So my gut's telling me to go single ball.
[Chris] Okay.
Um, but it's also telling me,
"Have fun. Let's play a little risky."
- Okay. - [Vincent] I think I'm gonna do
this one from the number 5.
[Chris] Okay. Play a ball from number 5.
Be good to me.
[Chris] All right.
Let's turn the question over to Katy.
[announcer] With a starting price of more than $300,000.
What is the least expensive model
of Rolls Royce?
Oh, she has no clue.
[announcer] Ghost,
Vampire,
Spider.
Oh, Vincent.
I hope you did not go Wall to Wall...
I didn't. We're good.
- It's okay. - ... on this question.
Because the only thing
I'm worst at than sports is cars.
Yes, this is true.
Um, I have heard of this car brand,
but they are way outta my price range, so.
I'm probably gonna rule out Spider
because I just don't think
Spider is a cool enough name
to be part of a Rolls Royce.
Okay. Sounds good.
Ghost is sticking out to me.
I just feel like that's pretty,
you know, they're fast, they're cool.
Um, I'm gonna say A, Ghost.
Lock it in.
[Vincent] Okay. Good job.
[Chris] Okay. She went through very methodically.
- Spider... - She really did, yeah.
... just--she was able to rule that out
between Vampire and Ghost.
Uh, do you know the correct answer?
Missing Ghost, you know?
- That's correct. It's Ghost. - [Vincent] Yes.
[Chris] Well done.
- [Vincent] That's my girl. - [Chris] Three for three.
You played one ball from 5.
That's a great place to be.
Let's go ahead and drop it.
Come on, ball.
Come on, ball. Let's go. Let's go.
Drop to the right. Keep going, 5.
Go to the right. Keep going.
Big kick to the right. Come on. Go to the right.
Go to the right. Come on. Keep going. Go to the right.
It's all right. Okay, we got big numbers here.
Right here. 25, 25, 25, 50, 50, 50?
Oh, man.
Man.
- [Chris] I'm so sorry. - Okay.
It got a little scared.
It just wanted to be safe over there because...
[Chris] Yeah, exactly.
Because we're talking about ghosts and vampires.
[Vincent] Yeah, exactly.
[Chris] $475,505.
[Vincent] There we go.
Now, your guarantee is over $175,000.
- All right? - There we go.
She's three for three. We're all very happy right now.
Let's hold on to that
because now we have to do the balance part of the game.
- [Vincent] Yeah. - We have to do
the evil SuperDrop.
At the beginning, we dropped seven green balls.
Now we have to drop seven reds.
All right, balls, listen up.
We all just go to small numbers and we'll all be okay.
All right? Listen to what I say, team.
All 1s. All 1s.
All right, drop it.
[Vincent] All right, balls.
You guys just stay way over here.
Nobody go over here.
Go this way. Everybody stay to the left.
Stay to the left. You two up there, go this way.
- There we go. - [Chris] Oh, there's 1!
There we go, 1!
[Chris] All right, there goes the 1.
[Vincent] 1. Oh, that stings a little.
Not horrible. Just stings a little.
No, not horrible. Stings?
- Just a little. - [Chris] Just light sting.
Yes.
[Chris] $200,403 in total right now.
Still a good amount going into the next round
because this is where everything can change in a half a second.
The million-dollar bin goes up when we come back.
[Vincent] Let's go. Go to the right. There we go.
Come on. Over more.
[Chris] And with four free shots at it...
[Vincent] Get in there!
Over to the right, over to the right.
[Chris] ... how many millions
will Vincent be able to add to their total?
Oh, good job to the right.
Go over there. There we go. Come on.
- [Chris] Oh, my gosh. - [Vincent] Come on.
[theme music playing]
[Chris] Welcome back to The Wall.
This is where the biggest game in the world takes off.
Vince is a firefighter from Ocala, Florida.
His wife Katy's behind the wall in isolation.
So far, Katy has all three questions right.
- [Vincent] Yeah. - [Chris] Their current total
on The Wall is $200,403
and their guarantee is like 175.
And this couple's inspiring story
is absolutely incredible.
So one night, Vincent's on duty
when a newborn baby gets dropped off
at the fire station.
Already registered for adoption in Florida.
He and Katy stepped in
and were able to adopt that baby girl.
And now Zoey is a part of their family.
It's just an incredible story.
But now everything can change
because you have that million-dollar slot on the wall.
Yeah, there it is. Woo!
[Chris] So there's a lot of money up for grabs right now.
And as you know, we're gonna start the round
- with four green balls. - Yes.
[Chris] Four free shots at that million.
- [Vincent] All right. - But later on, they turn red
and we play them from the same slots
- that you choose right now. - Okay.
[Chris] There are three questions in the middle
that can really swing the odds in either direction.
- Okay. - So where would you like
to play that first green ball?
[Vincent] All right. So the first green ball
is going to number 1.
[Chris] Number 1.
All right, drop that in there.
So, Zoey was born on January 1st.
I mean, she's...
she's everything I could have ever wanted.
She's... she's what I wake up every day for.
So this one's for my baby girl at number one.
[Chris] All right.
Number one, hoping for a good skip
across The Wall into that million.
Yes.
[Chris] This could take you over $1.2 million.
- Drop it. - All right, come on, ball.
Let's go. All the way over to a million dollars.
Let's go, ball. Let's go. Come on.
Go to the right. That's what we need.
All the way to a million dollars.
[Chris] Get to the right.
Get to the right, get to the right,
get to the right. Come on.
Come on. Here we go.
Right here. Come on right here.
- Yes, yes. - [Chris] $100,000.
All right. There we go.
[Chris] Coming back around.
You now have a total of $300,403.
Yes.
Good job, man.
[Chris] Where would you like to play your next ball?
[Vincent] This next one is going to number three.
[Chris] All right. Number three.
Drop it in there.
[Vincent] September 3rd, me and Katy got married.
Um, she is my best friend.
I mean, those two girls are probably the only thing
that matter to me in this world.
[Chris] Isn't it really amazing when that happens?
You go, "Oh yeah, all that other crap
I used to worry about. It was never, you know."
- It was never a big deal. - [Chris] Yeah.
Exactly. Yes.
- Yeah. None of that matters. - [Vincent] Yeah.
- This is what matters. - [Vincent] Yes.
This one's for my wife.
[Chris] All right, play it from number three.
This could take you over $1.3 million.
Drop it. Come on, ball. Let's go.
[Rico] Over... over to the million.
Come on. Go that way.
[Vincent] Big money on the board. Let's put it up.
Come on, ball.
Come on. Over to the right. Let's go.
All the way over to that million dollars.
Come on. Let's go.
All the way to the right, baby.
All right. Let's go. To the right.
[Chris] Get to the right. Keep going to the right.
Go over this way. This way.
[Chris] No, get to the right.
Wrong way. That way.
Other way. There we go.
Okay. Another hundred? Yes.
[Chris] Okay. Another hundred thousand.
We're back up to $400,000.
It's about where we were before The Evil SuperDrop.
That's great. Let's put it on the wall.
- $400,403. - There we go.
Where do you wanna play this third ball?
[Vincent] We're gonna go number five.
[Chris] Okay, number five.
Drop it in there.
All right, number five.
Much closer to the million than one to three.
This could take you over $1.4 million.
All right. Here we go, ball.
- Drop it. - [Vincent] Here we go.
Take it to the right.
Here we go. Come on. You can do it.
All the way this way. Come on.
Get that million dollars for us.
Come on. Here we go. Okay. Get to the right.
- [Chris] Okay. [indistinct] - Here we go. Here we go.
Come on. Here we go.
- [Chris] Oh, back, back, back. - To the right, to the right.
Let's go.
- [Chris] Yes. $200,000. - Yes.
[Chris] Yeah. There we go.
- Yeah. 200K. - [Chris] $200,000.
Very nice. Very nice.
Your total on The Wall right now
$600,403.
- Yes. - You have a final green ball,
where do you wanna play it?
I'm going number four.
Number four. All right.
Let's drop that in.
So you know, we brought Zoey home in January.
From January until April,
we had to wait for our adoption to be finalized.
That must've been a long four months.
Oh, it was... it was very long.
But everything we've been trying for,
for ten years finally was made real in April.
We were actually legally a family.
April's a huge month for us.
Beautiful, so four is a good number.
Could easily skip down to the million.
Let's see if we can make this $1.6 million.
- Let's go. - [Chris] Drop it.
Let's go, ball.
Come on. All the way over to the right.
Come on. Let's go. You can do it, ball.
All the way over here. Get that million dollars for me.
There we go. Come on, ball. There we go.
- Good job. Good job. - [Chris] Yeah, that's good.
Oh, yeah. Come on.
All the way to the right. All the way to the right.
Oh, man. All right.
- All right, I'm so sorry. - [Vincent] It's okay.
- It's still good. - That was only ten dollars,
but you still have $600,413 on The Wall.
- That's a lot. - That's still good.
And that could go way up, especially the way
Katy's answering those questions.
So as you know, I'm gonna give you
the answers first.
Here they come.
Tortellini,
Cannelloni,
Manicotti,
Fusilli.
Based on those, where would you like to play that?
All right, so we're foodies.
We like to eat.
Katy is part Italian.
Her family actually comes from Italy.
We're gonna go number four.
[Chris] All right, number four right down the middle.
Let's send the question over to Katy.
Come on, baby.
[soft music playing]
[announcer] Which of these types of Italian pasta
is not traditionally served
with some sort of filling in the pasta?
Tortellini,
Cannelloni,
Manicotti, Fusilli?
Come on, girl.
So my whole family is Italian.
[Vincent] Exactly. See?
Um, my grandpa's parents came over from Italy.
Um, we love pasta in my family.
- Zoey loves pasta. - Yes, she does.
I am gonna pull out my inner Italian
and say that the answer to this question is,
D, Fusilli.
- Lock it in. - [Vincent] Okay.
- [Chris] All right. - Okay.
She said her great grandparents are from Italy?
- Yes. - Same, same.
Okay. Wow.
Obviously, a lot of pressure riding on this one
- with the Italian family... - [Vincent] Oh, yes.
... and thankfully that's the correct answer.
- Yes. - [Chris] Fusilli is correct.
The rest have some type of filling.
Green is good. She's four for four.
Yes, she is.
[Chris] This could take you over $1.6 million.
Four for four on number four.
- Go ahead and drop it. - Let's drop it. Whoo.
Come on, ball.
Stick over to the right.
Let go, ball. You got it. Come on. Let's go, ball.
Come on. Here we go.
- Get to the right. - [Chris] Get to the right.
Get to the right. Get to the right.
[Chris] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get to the right.
There we go. Come on, baby.
- [Chris] No, back to the right. - This way, this way, this way.
- [Chris] Get to the right. - [Vincent] Go that way.
- [Chris] Come on, one time. - [Vincent] No, no. That way.
There we go. Come on, hit it.
Oh, come on.
Damn, that ten dollars.
[Chris] Oh, so close.
Ten dollars is just the way it bounces
but you still have $600,423 on The Wall
and your guarantee right now is just under 200 grand.
Woo.
Now, this is where it all could change again.
The final two questions.
We're gonna have the opportunity to double up, triple up.
Let's see if she can keep the streak going.
- Let's go. - [Chris] She's four for four.
With a massive total on The Wall
and millions still up for grabs,
you do have the opportunity to triple up.
She's been doing so well so far.
[narrator] Will these two navy veterans from Florida
go home millionaires?
Over to the left.
Go to the left, ball.
Go that way.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, get out of there.
[Chris] Welcome back to The Wall. Here with Vincent.
And it could not get any bigger than this.
We got two questions left.
They have $600,423 on The Wall.
Millions still within reach.
Katy, his wife is in the back.
She's answered all four questions correctly so far.
Their guarantee is just under $200,000.
She has no way of knowing where we stand.
And right now, we still have two questions left
so I'm hopeful we can get as much up there
before we do the four red drops.
Here are the answers for the next question.
Toolmaker,
Quarry worker,
Home builder,
Stonemason.
So it's question two.
Yup.
You have the opportunity to double up if you feel like it.
You got a lot of money on The Wall right now,
four red balls around the corner.
Doubling up could get you over $2.6 million if it works out
or it could bring you down to zero.
Okay. Um, blue collar workers,
I'm a fireman, I'm a blue collar worker, too.
That's what firemen are considered.
So she should know about this.
All her family, growing up,
they've--all home builders, home workers,
dry wall, all that stuff, so.
- Um... - Play it safe.
[Vincent] ... I'm gonna go...
I'm gonna go with number four.
I'm putting the ball on number four.
Are you gonna single or double?
- [Vincent] I'mma single it up. - Okay.
- Single ball, number four. - [Vincent] Yeah.
Let's send her the question.
[upbeat music playing]
[Chris] Oh.
[announcer] Throughout the six seasons
of The Flintstones,
what was Fred Flintstone's occupation?
She might know this.
[announcer] Toolmaker,
quarry worker,
home builder,
stonemason?
The dinosaur picking it up, moving around.
Come on, girl.
I grew up watching The Flintstones.
I even took the little Flintstone vitamins.
- [laughter] - [Katy] Um,
but I have not seen The Flintstones
in a very long time.
So I do not believe he was a toolmaker,
he was not a home builder,
so I'm gonna eliminate A, toolmaker,
and C, home builder.
- Good job. Good job. - Um...
Come on.
... my heart's pulling me to stonemason?
Don't do it.
[Katy] They lived in Bedrock,
so-- I think it was Bedrock.
Uh, so rocks, stones.
But also, quarry worker is kind of sticking out to me.
Oh, my goodness.
I think I don't know the answer for sure.
- Come on. - [Katy] Um...
Dinosaur.
... I'm gonna go with D, stonemason.
- Lock it in. - [laughs] Okay.
- Do you know the answer? - [Vincent] Yeah, yeah.
- It's the quarry worker. - [Chris] Quarry worker.
I know, yeah. That is the incorrect answer,
- we have to turn these red. - Oh, no.
But I really thought that's where she was going,
she said, "Oh, this is sticking out to me."
- But... - [Vincent] Yes.
[Chris] ... you played a great strategy
- by not doubling up. - [Vincent] Yes.
- So one ball from four. - [Vincent] All right.
[Chris] Let's just get this over with.
- Drop it. - Hey, ten dollars side.
You love it, so let's keep rolling over here.
Come on, ball.
Low numbers, I want you to think really low, okay?
Like a one, maybe a ten.
That's all you need, ball, all right?
[cheering and applause]
[Vincent] Come on, ball.
- [Chris] Here we go. - Over to the left, ball.
Over to the left.
Come on, to the right, this way.
This way, this way. This way, this way, this way.
- [Chris] Left! - This way, left.
There we go. Just a little bit to the left.
A little bit to the left.
There we go. Right in the one.
[Chris] Oh!
- $300,000. - [groans]
Oh.
Lord, have mercy.
[Vincent] Man.
That hurt a lot more than just a little sting.
[Chris] That was... uh, that was...
that was a big sting.
$300,423.
It's still a lot of money up there.
And this is our final question for this round.
Here come the answers.
Okay.
[Chris] 90 minutes,
3 hours,
6 hours,
12 hours.
You do have the opportunity to triple up.
Tripling up could get you over $3.3 million if it works out
or it could take away everything.
You know, time--everything's time.
Uh...
she's been doing so well so far.
I mean, um, I don't think I'm gonna triple up, Chris.
- I'm gonna play a single ball. - Okay.
Um, I'm gonna play a single ball from number six.
[Chris] Okay. Single ball from number six.
Just let it ride, girl, me and you.
[Chris] All right.
This is the final question,
but we need to take a quick break.
This question could be worth a million dollars.
We're gonna throw it over to Katy when we come back.
This is The Wall on NBC.
[cheering and applause]
[Chris] Welcome back to The Wall.
If you're just joining us,
Vincent has one ball loaded up on six.
This is the last question of the game.
The answers are 90 minutes,
3 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours.
A correct answer could make this the million-dollar question
we've been waiting for.
Uh, I hope it is,
so let's send the question over to Katy.
[synthesized voice] [indistinct]
[announcer] Approximately the size of a football field,
the International Space Station
orbits about 250 miles above Earth.
Around how long does it take
the ISS to complete one full orbit?
90 minutes,
3 hours,
6 hours,
12 hours?
It's a tough one.
- It's a tough one. - Okay.
[Vincent laughs]
Oh, I know that there's a lot riding on this question.
Um...
but I have no clue.
- Uh, you know. - [Katy] Um...
It's in there.
... every now and again, like, when we go outside,
we'll see kind of something zoom across the sky,
we're like, "Oh, it's a shooting star,"
and they're like, "No, it's the International Space Station," um...
- [Vincent] Okay. - [Katy] ... or a satellite.
But--so they go really fast.
Um...
90 minutes just seems too fast though.
- Okay. - Too fast to really
make it around the entire Earth.
So I'm gonna eliminate 90 minutes.
Um, 3 hours?
That seems really fast, too.
12 hours, that seems...
that seems pretty long.
I'm gonna say the answer to this question is C, 6 hours.
Lock it in.
[Chris] All right. If she's right,
you play one ball from six,
over some big amounts there.
Uh, the correct answer, 90 minutes.
- Wow. - [Chris] 90 minutes.
How do they not get dizzy up there?
- [Chris] I-- - [Vincent laughs]
I have no idea.
- Just whipping around the horizon. - They see 15 sunrises a day,
... you know, if it's going around the Earth that fast.
- [Vincent] [sighs] It's okay. - Uh, very tough question.
- [Vincent] Yes. - [Chris] That's okay.
- You did not triple up. - No.
[Chris] You played one ball,
so let's just get through it quickly.
All right, ball.
[Chris] Go ahead and drop it.
[Vincent] Go this way to the left, all right?
Please go to the left, ball.
One or ten. That's all we need.
Even a hundred, we'll take a hundred.
I mean, anything but the big numbers, ball.
Anything but those numbers.
All right. Go to the left, ball.
Go over on the left.
That is it. Go over the left.
Okay.
All right. Go that way.
Go that way.
- No. - [Chris] Oh. Get out of there.
[Vincent] No, no, no, no. No, no, no.
This is it--no, no, no--oh. [sighs]
[Chris] That was a big one.
Not the million, but $500,000.
I'm so sorry.
[Vincent grunts]
[Chris] I'm so sorry. Can I, uh--okay.
Thanks, Chris. I definitely need that one, buddy.
[Chris] That happens sometimes.
There's just nothing you can do about it.
[Chris] That is gonna take away the $300,423.
That's gonna take you down to zero.
And we're not gonna drop
- the four reds. - [Vincent] Yes.
[Chris] And now, it's deliberation time.
She's got a really tough choice to make.
- [Vincent] Yes. - [Chris] She doesn't know
what's out here on The Wall right now.
She has no way of knowing what that is.
So I have this contract,
it's right here in this canister.
Everyone who plays this game has a chance to leave here
- with guaranteed money. - Yes.
So let's talk about what that was for you.
Your Free Fall amount was $115,302.
Katy got four questions right, so 20K for those,
that's an extra $80,000 added to your guarantee.
- $195,302... - Wow.
... if she signed the contract.
If she tears it up,
obviously, her intention would be for you and the family
and to try to go big.
- Yes. - [Chris] Unfortunately, today,
we just got some really
- crappy bounces. - [Vincent] Yes.
[Chris] You know, every time she got a right answer,
- it went into a low amount. - Yes.
Uh, the two-- only two questions she missed
- went in huge amounts. - [Vincent] Yes.
There's nothing we can do about that, you know?
We're gonna bring her up on The Wall.
She can't see or hear you, but you can talk to her.
Six figures, it's just-- it's a really tough decision,
I'm glad I don't have to make it,
but just, uh, say what you would like to say
and then I'll send this contract to her.
Katy, you did amazing.
I told you you're the smartest person I know
and you've done so well in this game.
The balls just didn't work for us today,
so we need you to sign that contract
because there's nothing out here, girl.
- I love you. - [Chris] All right.
There it goes.
It's all gonna be in Katy's hands.
She has the contract, you can't do anything else.
We're gonna cut the feed off
so she can make this huge decision in private.
We'll find out very shortly
because we're gonna skip the four red balls,
what that decision was.
I know we ended Free Fall with $115,000.
And I probably got two questions right,
three possibly, which is...
really nice chunk of change for Zoey, um...
pay for her college funds,
give her the opportunity to go to college,
something that Vince and I never got.
Um...
I just think about all the things
that we've already been through.
And if I sign this contract
and there's a million dollars on The Wall,
I'm potentially signing away
the ability to give her an even better life.
[dramatic music playing]
[Katy] This is really hard.
[Chris] Coming up.
If you tore up the contract,
you're risking for whatever was left on The Wall.
[narrator] Will these two Navy veterans
whose miracle adoption saved a life
and started their family,
walk away with almost $200,000?
[Katy] We struggled for so long,
and then now we have this little miracle baby.
And the only thing we've ever wanted
was to give her the best life possible.
And the decision that I made was...
[theme music playing]
[cheering and applause]
Welcome back to The Wall.
I'm out here with Vincent
and we're just waiting to see,
you know, if Katy's made the decision yet.
It's not a decision I envy to have to make.
- [The Wall beeping] - And I hear it.
There it is.
Now it's done.
And now we just have to find out what happened
and how it all played out,
so Katy, please come back out.
- [cheering and applause] - [Chris] Welcome back.
How are you feeling?
Um, still really nervous
that I didn't make the right decision.
But, um, I'm glad it's... it's... it's done.
[Chris] Whatever you decided to do,
I know you had your family first in mind,
it's never gonna be a wrong decision.
And I wanna thank you.
Vincent and I had such a great time out here.
I love this guy.
He's a first-responder, a firefighter,
works for the special unit, uh, for disasters, you know?
And then watching you up there,
how many questions do you think you got right?
Um, maybe two?
- You got four answers right. - No way!
- Yeah. You really did. - Are you serious?
[Chris] You got four answers right.
So you just crushed it with the trivia back there.
I'm gonna give you 20 grand for each one of those
- correct answers. - Woo.
$80,000 on top of your $115,000 guarantee,
which means if you signed the contract,
it was worth $195,302.
If you tore it up,
you're risking for whatever was left on The Wall,
which you don't know,
so I'm gonna bring you over here to Vincent.
And, uh, you'll go first and tell him what you decided.
[chuckles] Hey.
- Hey. - [laughs]
Um...
I just wanted to do...
what I thought was the best,
uh, for our family and for Zoey.
You know, we struggled for so long
financially and emotionally,
going through fertility treatments.
And then now we have this little miracle baby.
And the only thing we've ever wanted
was to give her the best life possible.
So I was thinking,
if I sign the contract, then,
yeah, we wouldn't be able to pay off
the rest of our adoption debt or buy a family car,
but at least she'd be able to go to college.
But then I was thinking...
[sighs deeply]
I was thinking, like,
what if there was a million dollars on The Wall?
It was really, really a hard decision to make.
It was... It was-- felt impossible.
Um, so--ooh.
I just hope I made the right decision.
And the decision that I made was...
I signed the contract.
You know, you've always been the logical thinker.
And...
because of your logical thinking,
we get to give Zoey that head start,
the life that we wanted.
Because at the end of the game,
there was nothing on The Wall.
[cheering and applause]
[Chris] You made the right decision!
You're going home with $195,302.
I mean, I gotta say,
first of all, I love you both.
I love your story.
America, I know, loved your story.
You have to be made of stone
to not be moved by what we've experienced today.
And I know that with Zoey, no matter what happens today,
you've already won,
and Zoe's already won with you.
But, it is also nice
that you get to go home with $195,302.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope this... this show made your day a little bit better.
And high-fives to all the girl dads out there.
I see you. I love you.
Have a great night.
$195,302.
[cheering and applause]
