Got to make Kalimba some money, man.

I'm not happy that I'm out
of the individual competition, because,

I'm all about my family, my crew, my people.

Savage Crew, I think, got humbled by the last loss.
We came in there a little cocky.
In the last team challenge, there was times
where people's egos got in the way, I think.
And we can't have that as a team.
My gramps always said that there's a time to talk
-and a time to listen. -Respect is major. Like,
I think that that will get us a long way.
ELIZABETH: When we lost our team challenge,
some people were so upset about the loss
that my constructive criticism
really hurt 'em hard.
This is a really strange competition.
It really messes with you in a lot of ways psychologically.
You know? I'm really harsh with myself.
Maybe I was harsher than most people
are used to receiving. And so I want to apologize to you guys.

I don't want anything to do with it.
-Where's 425? -She doesn't know where to go.
425. I realized, hey, dummy,
there's odd and even house numbers on each side.
Stop the clock!
-(cheering) -Good job, Christine!
KEOGHAN: Okay, Quincey! You're up next.
FREIGHT TRAIN: 359, one package. 404, three packages.
QUINCEY: I'm looking at this competition as a football game, right?
You know your position on the field,
and a delivery guy's route is sort of like a football field.
They have to know where those packages are
in order for them to execute the play.
KEOGHAN: Alfie, you're up next.
ALFIE: I'm a retired soccer player.
My mindset is totally scoring a goal.
I got to get to that doorway.
KEOGHAN: Lia!
I can't read these.
I'm like, "I can't read these labels.
I can't read these labels!"
And then it occurs to me that
I have glasses in my pocket.
Thank you, Lord.
Then I can finally kick it into gear.
KEOGHAN: Your turn, Kelsy!
-359. How many packages? -One package.
KELSY: I survived overtime.
I know how it feels.
My goal is staying out of overtime.
Remember to smile in the camera.
Freight Train is such a jokester.
Looks like Johnny's home from music camp.
You know, my daughter was my helper last year,
and she lifted heavier weights than that.
It's not time for our lunch break yet.
He's just a teddy bear is what he is!
-And here we go. -Stop the clock for Kelsy!
Good job, Kelsy!
Sarah's up!
359, one package, 404, three packages.
SARAH: I have no experience with this challenge.
My mother worked for the post office,
so I'm kind of hoping genes will rub off,
but this will definitely be a new experience for me.
408, one package.
I can't locate the number
on any of the boxes that I'm looking at.
-408? -408, one package.
There was time wasted with that.
Sarah got close to overtime last time.
She definitely wants to keep herself safe.
Be careful with them packages!
Ooh, that's a fragile package.
Let's go!
I'm not satisfied with my performance.
My only focus is to stay out of overtime.
KEOGHAN: Stop the clock! Jerome, you're up next.
JEROME: 359, 359.
359? Oh, shoot!
The teddy bear.
I couldn't even find him 'cause he was stashed in a corner.
How you doing? (grunts)
Oh! Quincey, how about that leap from Jerome?
Jerome looking like a football player!
Thank you... (speaks Hawaiian)
KEOGHAN: Tak, you're up next.
TAK: I never thought
about being a delivery guy,
-but I do know how to run. -He is sprinting! -Wow, he's fast.
-Fast, fast, fast! -Wow! -Yeah!
(deep breath) Good!
-Stop the clock! -Yeah, Tak!
KEOGHAN: Hanger, you're up next!
359, one package. 404, three packages.
359, one package. 359...
Biggest worry about this challenge is,
when I'm under pressure,
numbers start switching around on me.
359...
When I joined high school,
I was diagnosed with dyslexia.
359, one package?
-359, one package. -Okay, okay.
In the '60s and '70s,
they didn't know a lot about dyslexia.
359, one package. 359...
The toughest part was having educators say,
"You're nothing, you never will be anything."
And they pushed me to the side.
I felt like garbage,
and it made me real quiet.
And perhaps, maybe that's why I'm outgoing today,
because I look back at that kid...
I'm not that kid anymore.
Oh, he dropped a package.
-Yo, what else? -425, one package.
425...
Midway, the numbers start switching around.
I'll see 52, and it's 25.
425...
I started getting nervous.
Come on! Oh, my God, I messed up.
I do not want to go over into overtime.
I messed up. Oh, my God, I messed up.
-425, one package? -One package.
KEOGHAN: Hanger losing a lot of time inside the truck,
struggling with the numbers.
-42 what? -425.
I messed up. (groans)
The numbers start switching around.
I'll see 52, and it's 25.
-Four... twenty-five. -425.
One package.
I'm telling myself,
"Hey, stay calm, Hanger."
I know I have to stay focused,
repeat the numbers,
and I'm gonna get through this.
425.
-KEOGHAN: Seconds counting down. -Package.
Can he stay out of overtime?
-And Hanger's time stops right there. Good work. -Thanks, Freight Train.
Mike, you're up!
359, one package. 404, three packages.
-359, one package. -One package.
For me, this is very easy
because, as a lineman, we need to memorize
our stock inventory for our equipment.
My memorization is really good.
Here he comes with the teddy bear.
I think my daughter will be like,
"Wow, Dad, you're
putting that teddy bear in a headlock, aren't you?"
KEOGHAN: Mike, trying to stay out of overtime.
-Go, Mike! Come on, Mike. -The clock is ticking!
-Go, Mike! -Come on, Mike!
-Go, go, go, go, go, go! -In he goes.
Seat belt on!
And stop the clock for Mike.
-Yeah, Mike! -Let's go. -Yeah, Mike.
(grunts)
Amazing job, don't you think, Freight Train?
-Very good job. You guys can be my helper anytime. -Good job, everybody.
And I know you have a special package for our winner today.
Would you mind bringing it out?
Today's winner, the fastest time, it goes to Tak!
(cheering)
-Good job, brother. -Thank you.
-Congratulations to you. -Thank you.
You have a special package,
which you can open up after overtime.
TAK: I didn't think I was going to be first
'cause my competitors are real tough.
I don't know, God was on my side.
Second fastest time today: Mike!
(cheering)
What? That-That's insane. I-I can't believe, like,
I was close to him. He's lightning, he's fast.
And, uh, Tak is definitely, you know, someone to look out for.
-Kelsy, third fastest. -(cheering)
-Fourth fastest, Jerome. -(cheering)
Lia, six minutes and three seconds!
Elizabeth, 6:26.
Quincey, 6:28.
Alfie had a time of 6:42.
And then there were just three:
Christine, Hanger and Sarah.
Two of you will be going into overtime.
SARAH: I'm getting nervous.
I did make a lot of mistakes that cost me time.
Who has the ninth fastest time?
I definitely am worried at this point
because everybody looked so fast,
and I felt so slow.
Sarah, you are safe.
-(exhales) -Wow.
Hanger, Christine, you're both going into overtime.
By the end of the day, one of you will be punching out.
HANGER: Going into overtime, I'm focused,
I'm ready, and at 54,
I am gonna throw down,
and I'm going to show what a union carpenter is all about.
By the end of the day, one of you will be punching out.
I'll see you all in overtime.
(beeping)
CHRISTINE: Going into overtime,
I still have a lot more to prove to myself.
I definitely used to struggle with my self-worth sometimes.
I limbo between am I good enough,
or am I not good enough?
I want to prove that I'm worth it
and that I'm meant to be here.
HANGER: Going through this competition, I think about
what legacy am I gonna leave?
How am I gonna be remembered?
Being dyslexic, it doesn't define me as a person.
I want my daughter to look at me and say,
"Hey, Dad, I'm so proud of you."
And, "You left everything on the table,
you gave everything you had."
Christine and Hanger, this job is all about
organization and attention to detail.
There are two piles of packages that need to be delivered.
When the work whistle blows,
you'll be going to the two piles,
and you will be sorting the boxes
by which ones are standard,
and which ones are overnight.
30 packages will be going overnight,
and you will know which boxes when you scan them,
using one of these scanners right here.
You point it at the QR code,
and if it says overnight, you'll know that
that package needs to go in that truck.
If it says standard, it doesn't go in the truck.
Freight Train's going to be checking your work,
and once you have all 30 packages scanned and sorted,
get the thumbs-up from him so you can start packing boxes
into your truck.
It's a tight fit, I will tell you that right now.
This is kind of like a game ofTetris
-using a truck and some boxes. -(laughter)
The first of you to get all of your 30 packages
into the back of the truck and close the back,
you will stay in contention for theTough As Nails title.
If you finish this challenge last,
you will be punching out.
-Ready to do this? -Absolutely. -Yes.
All right, on the red line.
-You got this, girl. -On the work whistle.
-Time to get to work. -(work whistle blows)
-Christine! -Come on! Come on, Hanger!
HANGER: We have to scan the packages.
If it says "overnight,"
then you load it.
If it says anything other than "overnight,"
you put them to the side.
Doing good, Christine, keep going.
Oh, yes, I like your thinking. I like your thinking.
Come on, Christine, you got this, girl, you got it!
This is super stressful for me.
I love both Christine and Hanger.
I'm a soccer mom. I am the epitome of a soccer mom.
Come on, more! More, more!
Who's gonna work smarter, not harder?
-It's pretty even so far. -Yeah.
The only thing I'm worried is maybe she's blocking up
the front of her truck.
-Good job, good job, Hanger! -Make it count.
I started off doing one by one, and I'm thinking,
"What am I doing?" I started grabbing
three or four boxes at a time,
scanning them.
I'm feeling good about this competition; I'm flying.
QUINCEY: Leave yourself some room.
LIA: Good job, Hanger, good thinking!
KEOGHAN: Hanger pushing in four boxes at one time.
LIA: There you go, keep your head in the game, you got this!
Watching the overtime is excruciating.
Hanger is organized.
He's moving more than one package at a time.
Christine is one package
at a time, and she's putting all her boxes
right in front of the truck, blocking her way
into the truck. (groans)
We can't do anything to help her.
Keep it coming, pick it up, pick it up! You got it!
QUINCEY: Make sure you're focused, Christine.
Make sure you're focused.
Quicker, quicker, quicker.
See, now she realizes she was blocking herself in.
QUINCEY: Dig, Christine, dig!
-Give yourself room. -There you go!
-Hustle, you got it. -Good work, Hanger, good work!
-Good work! -Keep it up, keep it up! -There it is.
-Christine, make every trip count. -Good job, good job.
I know at this point that I'm behind.
I knew it and I could feel it and I'm thinking,
"Hey, you know,
"you're only taking one at a time, maybe take a couple--
make up for some time."
LIA: That's it! Two packages, all right, good job!
Christine's got six more packages outside.
Hanger working on his last one.
KALIMBA: Let's go, Hanger, you got it! There you go!
Come on, good job, Hanger! Good job, Hanger!
-Overnight. -Get permission!
-Yes, yes! -Move, move, move!
Keep going!
-Organize. Organize. -Organize.
Freight Train, he goes, "Thumbs-up."
-Focus! -Stay focused!
And so now my strategy
is to load those heavy ones first,
and then strategically place all the smaller ones.
KALIMBA: There you go! You got it.
Christine with one more box.
Everything you've got, Christine, come on! Up top!
(overlapping shouting)
Am I good?
Yes! Christine gets the thumbs-up.
Christine, pack good!
-Take your time! -KEOGHAN: Christine and Hanger with 30 packages scanned.
LIA: There you go, Hanger, there you go!
There you go, Christine, keep going!
CHRISTINE: I knew I had to kick it into overdrive loading
that trailer up, and I knew in my head from
my moving experience, you have to make
enough space for everything.
You don't want spaces in between boxes,
you want everything to be nice and tight.
QUINCEY: Stand it up, stand it up! Doing great!
KEOGHAN: Hanger sliding everything in.
His door has got to go down to get the win!
JEROME: Take your time, come on!
KEOGHAN: Hanger faster, but does he have
enough room-- that's the question!
LIA: Hanger! Big boxes!
HANGER: I'm three-quarters there and I'm thinking,
"It's not going to fit." And my adrenaline's flowing.
(grunts) Come on.
KEOGHAN: Hanger starting to pull boxes out!
KALIMBA: Strategize, Christine, make sure they fit all in...
KEOGHAN: He's losing space!
This is Christine's chance to catch up.
TAK: Christine, you're still in this!
You're still in this Christine, let's go!
KELSY: Push!
KEOGHAN: Hanger getting close.
KALIMBA: To the side, to the side! To the side!
KEOGHAN: Christine catching up!
-It's not going in. -KELSY: Make it fit!
Yeah, I think he ran out of room.
He's gonna have to take stuff out.
KEOGHAN: He's gonna have to do some repacking.
(sighs)
KELSY: Come on, Hanger!
KEOGHAN: Hanger pulling stuff out, he's got to make room!
LIA: Don't waste any space!
TAK: Go, Christine!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! -Let's go, let's go!
-Good move, good move. -Come on, there you go!
KEOGHAN: Hanger down to four boxes, Christine down to five!
KALIMBA: Come on, Christine!
CHRISTINE: I'm starting to get worried, like, "Hey,
you're running out of space." I tried
to utilize every nook and crevice and make it work.
KEOGHAN: The last few boxes causing a lot of trouble.
Hanger has one medium-sized box that he's trying to fit in...
-It won't close. -...but no!
MIKE: Hanger's got one box left, I'm looking
at Christine, I'm like, "Oh, wow, she's catching up."
My heart's going crazy.
I'm like, "Hanger, you got this."
KALIMBA: Come on, Hanger!
HANGER: I'm pushing this last box in.
It's not going in. I'm doing everything I can.
I'm not gonna give up.
KALIMBA: Hey, push it. Push it over...
Over!
TAK: Yeah, Christine!
Let's go, Christine!
KEOGHAN: Christine with two small boxes!
Hanger's got one left.
It's down to one!
Who can get the gate down?
Hanger desperate to get the last one in!
(shouting, clamoring)
And he can't get the gate down!
He's gonna have to take out to get back in.
(grunts)
TAK: Go quick!
(shouting, clamoring)
KEOGHAN: Christine one foot away!
(cheering, clamoring)
Christine gets the win!
(laughs)
Oh, wow.
CHRISTINE: I got the door shut.
Still in, baby. (laughs)
If I could talk to my younger self,
I would tell them that everything's gonna be okay.
You're gonna face struggles, but you're the only thing
that's standing in front of you, and...
I'm not standing in my way anymore.
-That was a fight right there. -What a race.
That was a fight.
I am so proud of both of you.
(cheering, whooping)
Christine, a well-deserved win.
(exhales) Thank you.
ThatTough As Nails title can still be yours.
Kalimba, you got tears in your eyes?
I feel like she's my little sister.
And also, we talked about, like, there's a difference
between in this because you want
to prove your toughness and somebody who needs it.
And Christine needs it. And so, I want to see her win the money.
So, my daughter's 27, she's gonna be 28.
(exhales)
KALIMBA: You got this.
When I look at Christine, I think about my daughter.
And, uh, there are situations in her life
where Mom and me always-- almost lost her.
So I think about my sister here,
and I love her so much.
That means a lot.
You know, Hanger, hold your head high.
And have you ever seen anybody wield a hammer
-like Hanger? -(laughs)
For the rest of my life, I am gonna remember
-the way you swung that hammer. -Right on. Right on.
Hanger, with that,
I am sorry to tell you that you need to punch out
of the individual competition.
But you're still here for the team competition.
Your team's got your back, right, Savage Crew?
-100%. -We love him. Yes.
You're staying all the way through to the end.
Head high, Hanger! Yeah!
I didn't want to go out this way-- I wanted to go
all the way, as far as I could.
But I know my daughter, when she sees this,
she's gonna say, "I'm proud of you, Dad."
Now I have to focus, I have to switch gears,
and I have to be there for my team.
I'm going to do my very best for Savage Crew.
Tak?
Since you won the individual challenge today,
how about you open up that special package from home.
Just like Christmastime.
-Oh, wow -Oh, my gosh!
Oh!
Oh, my God.
(all clamoring)
It's a package from my baby
and my fiancé. My dogs, my stepson...
I can add two, uh, more pictures to my...
Oh, you've got more photos to add?
I carry these two with me.
It means the world to me.
I miss my family so much, so it means a lot.
-I needed this. -Oh, group hug!
(laughter, clamoring)
Group hug!
I'm here to make a better opportunity
for my family, so--
just look at my pictures, read my letters,
and, um... keep going.
-(laughter) -You guys smell.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
-KEOGHAN: Next time on Tough As Nails ... -QUINCEY: Go, go, go, go!
...sparks are flying at the Coast Guard.
-Whoa! -Watch yourself!
Now we're cooking with fire!
-Go, go, go! -This is a dead even race!
-Relax. -It could not be closer!
Is anybody here afraid of the ocean?
ALFIE: I'm getting into a panic.
-What is he doing? -Oh, no.
