"[ Tires screech ]" "Tonight, locked inside this floating city made of steel, three teams will compete to be the first to break out of their nautical prison, navigate the complex passageways of this ship, and complete their mission to find me" "and win "The Great Escape."" "This is my best friend, Victor." "This is my best friend, Armando." "We're from Miami, Florida." "We both play college baseball." "I'm confident in whatever comes our way just because I know that we're both athletes." "I trust Armando because I know he's a smart dude." "How competitive am I?" "All I do is win." "[ Laughs ]" "My name is Tim, and this is my daughter, McKenna." "She's my pride and joy, and she's just about to graduate from college." "McKenna:" "I chose my dad as a partner because he's, like, extremely competitive and really smart." "And even though he's kind of, like, a dad age, he's really athletic." "We're gonna fight to win." "My name is Sal." "My name is Jeanan." "Brother." "Sister." "I think the biggest thing to overcome is her being able to trust me because I am younger than her." "Like, look at her now." "She's just like, "what?" [ Laughs ]" "He may have more schooling, but I have a little bit more common sense." "[ Laughs ]" "Tonight, one team is going to defy the odds and manage to escape this behemoth vessel and ultimately to freedom." "Guards, remove their blindfolds." "Tim:" "When the blindfold came off, I looked around." ""Oh, my God." "We're on the deck of an aircraft carrier."" "Eisen:" "Welcome to the u.s.hornet, one of America's most legendary aircraft carriers." "Weighing 27,000 tons and spanning a distance of 872 feet, it can house up to 2,600 crew and 100 aircraft." "And you'll start in the detainment zone, locked in every sailor's nightmare, the brig." "There, you will find a map that will help you plan your escape." "You'll work your way through four stages." "Now, at each stage, you'll have to overcome a challenge." "It could be a mental or physical challenge." "It might involve finding hidden objects or even solving some puzzles." "You cannot proceed to the next stage until you've successfully completed that challenge and found a piece of "The Great Escape" key." "This key consists of four interlocking pieces." "One piece is hidden within each stage." "Once all four pieces are found and the key is assembled, only then will my whereabouts be revealed." "Now, at various points during your escape, you may encounter patrolling guards." "If you're caught, you will be escorted back to the detainment zone, the brig, where you'll have to escape and return to the game where you were captured." "After completing the four stages, your final hurdle is the transport zone." "The first team that gets to me with the completed "great escape" key will unlock the box and instantly become $100,000 richer." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Oh, my God." "That is a substantial amount of money." "I mean, that can make a real difference." "I got student loans to pay off." "Let's go out and get it."

"[ Alarm blares ]" "Okay, go." "Find it." "Sal:" "So the first thing I do was check the lock, and I'm like, "okay, this is a real lock."" "I can't break it open." "And we start looking around the room for the map." "We tore apart that room from top to bottom." "Oh, and that room was tiny." "We couldn't make a move without elbowing each other." "Armando:" "Watch your nuts." "[ Chuckles ]" "Tim:" "Pull." "Anything?" "Anything?" "McKenna:" "What the hell?" "Victor:" "We got to think outside the box here, man." "Where else could it be?"

"Okay, what can be the options here?" "I just close my eyes for a second." "I open them." "It was like..." "You don't see it?" "Right there in front of our faces." "They're bolt cutters." "I made a little loop like a lasso... boom!" "Dad, feel up there." "Okay." "All over." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Oh, oh, hold on."

"We're gonna sit in here for the entire game." "Sal:" "Go straight to that tank." "Victor:" "It's all the way on the side of the boat in the third deck." "Eisen:" "So far, the blue team and the green team have escaped the detainment zone with their map and are headed to stage 1, but the red team is still locked in the brig, searching for their map." "Tim:" "We are falling so far behind." "First the blue team got out, and then the green team got out." "And we still haven't even found the map, let alone even escaped out of the cage that we were in." "I just don't see what we could have possibly missed." "The other teams opened their locks." "Just open the lock." "Tim:" "Okay, look for a wire." "It's right here." "Oh, this is it." "This is the ballast tank?" "Yes, this is it." "Okay." "This is the ballast tank, stage 1 of our contestants' race to freedom." "This tank contains one key for each team that, when successfully retrieved, will open a very important locker." "In that locker is a hand pulley and the first piece of "The Great Escape" key." "Ready?" "What are we looking for, sal?" "Sal, talk to me." "What are we looking for?" "We got to go in here." "For what?" "I got to get the key." "I'll guide you." "Oh, freezing!" "Shh!" "Sal, look all the way back there underneath that duct."

"Eisen:" "As they make their way to the next stage, each team will encounter a grate that they must break through and then use tools around them to open one of three brig doors." "Go that way." "Go that way." "Go straight." "Go straight." "No, no." "Yeah, sal, I told you... it's the same thing." "I'm sure there's something over here." "Nothing." "It's a dead end, too." "All right." "Okay." "Sal:" "We get into the room, and there's three different routes, and all we see is grates." "There has to be a tool for this." "Let's figure it out real quick, let's keep our lead, and let's keep it going." "These are little screws." "Look for something around here." "Quick!" "Okay, but you got to tell me what to look for."

"Like, they're trying to hide their information." "Like, we're trying to copy off them." "McKenna:" "Plug it in." "Tim:" "I plugged it in." "I was trying to listen on the headphones for the audible clue." "[ Be]P man:" "Proceed to turret 54 on the flight deck." "Rappel from transport zone, signal rescue boat, and proceed to finish." "[ Be]P okay, okay." "Red team has completed stage 4." "This is the transport zone." "After completing stage 4, teams must use the access card from the safe to gain entry to the flight deck." "From there, they will make their way to the transport zone." "Here, teams rappel off the ship to a platform below." "And there, they inflate their signal balloons and hail a rescue boat to come find me." "Upstairs, man." "Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs." "Look at that." "Okay." "Okay, "d," "q." That's two." "I put two and two together right away." "Punch it in." "Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop." "[ Beep ] And it opens up." "She's clearing them out as I'm taking the headphones out of there to plug them in to get our evacuation info." "I plug them in, and... so, at this point, I was so excited." "I was like, "oh, my God!" "We're here!"" "Blue team has completed stage 4." "Come on!" "It's this one." "It's this one." "It's this one." "It's this one." "It's this one." "We knew we had to go to the flight deck, so we figured out by the map which way the flight deck was, and we had this door that was locked." "Yes!" "And he just whipped out the access card and swipes it, and we went through." "Yeah, baby!" "Okay, we got to look." "We got to look." "When we got to the flight deck," "I wanted to be very cautious again, and so we're kind of peering up before we actually climbed up on the flight deck." "We figured if we were caught, then we were gonna be toast." "If we made any mistakes and then got caught, yeah, we're out of the game." "That's a guard." "That's a guard." "[ Shouts indistinctly ]" "Eisen:" "As the race to escape the u.S.S. Hornheats up, the blue team is stuck trying to gain entry to the flight deck, where the red team is already making their way to the transport zone, while the green team is trying to decipher the code" "to their safe in the c.I.C." ""D" and "q." Where's "d" and "q"?" "Armando:" "We figured the numbers out, put it in, we do it." "Give me the numbers." "Give me the numbers." "Two." "Two." "Now five." "Five." "[ Beep ]" "Get the I.D. There's an I.D. In there." "We got all the balloons, the I.D., the access card." "That's where we have to meet." "Six, one, two, eight, six." "[ Beep ]" "Eight, one, six?" "Can't be." "[ Beep ]" "No." "Let's go back and look at it real quick." "Let's make a run." "Let's do it." "Tim:" "So, we started moving across the flight deck." "We're hiding behind things, and, I mean, I looked back, and I saw another guard." "We dove behind something else." "But at this point, it's like, we knew we were so close." "Sal:" "The green team comes in, and they go straight to the door, and they had the card." "Jeanan:" "Oh, you're so smart." "Green team has completed stage 4." "Access card we forgot, yeah?" "Yeah, where did we get it?" "Where was the access card?" "With the rest of the balloons and everything else." "You got it." "You said you had everything out of there." "I opened it?" "We need to get the access card." "How do we get back in there?" "Go, go, go!" "Hey, it's over there!" "Over there!" "Victor:" "At that point, we had our mind focused on the red team as we run across the flight deck, and we're getting to the transportation zone." "Just kept going." "We just kept going." "McKenna:" "When I saw the harnesses, it was kind of scary." "Jeanan:" "How do we get back in there?" "Sal:" "I have no idea." "They obviously got back in, didn't they?" "No, they had it." "Damn it!" "Yeah, yeah." "Damn it, yeah." "Tim:" "You got to tighten it up." "I know." "I don't know how tight." "Tim:" "I mean, neither one of us had ever done it before." "I mean, rock climbin is different than just, like, going off a ship into an ocean." "Tim:" "There you go." "Lean back." "You got it, you got it." "Lean back." "Lean back." "Keep your legs straight." "Bend your knees." "I got it." "Keep them straight." "Use them as shock absorbers." "No, lean back, lean back." "I got it, dad." "Don't talk to me." "All right." "[ Exhales sharply ]" "You're doing great, hon." "Now just lower yourself down." "Can you not touch the side?" "No." "Okay." "Keep your hand behind you." "Tim:" "My heart's racing right now." "I think one of the big reasons why we really were unsure is that neither one of us had ever done it before." "You just got to trust the equipment." "You just got to calm down." "I was freaking out, zipping down that line." "Wow." "That was insane!" "Once he got down, as we're blowing up our balloon at the bottom, we saw green starting to come down." "Armando:" "All right, dude, go, go, go, go." "Armando, they're right there." "Yeah, we still got this." "We still got a chance." "Go, go, go, go." "Okay." "Okay." "You got it?" "Is it gonna float?" "Does it float?" "Let go." "[ Laughing ] Yeah!" "That's our signal." "We tell them this..." ""87 coast guard cutter."" "Victor:" "As I was taking my step down," "I lost control of the rope and I swang my shin right into the side of that boat." "[ Grunting ]" "We got a boat coming this way." "That's got to be our ride." "Armando:" "Come on, man, get it done." "Go, go, go, go, go." "McKenna:" "Coast guard cutter 87." "We're going to coast guard cutter." "Let's go!" "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Eisen:" "Here you go." "Welcome aboard." "Tim:" "Thank you, sir!" "[ Laughter ]" "Okay." "Here's the box." "You have something for me?" "Give it to him." ""The Great Escape" key that reads "coast guard cutter."" "This is it." "Let's see." "That's a fit." "Tim and McKenna, after a seemingly endless night of diving into murky waters and navigating a maze of decks and hacking combat codes and, yes, rappelling off the side of an aircraft carrier, you have escaped the u.S.S. Hornet" "and made it to freedom." "Congratulations." "You have won "The Great Escape."" "[ Laughs ]" "And that means you get what's inside." "[ Both laugh ]" "Tim:" "I'm very proud of my daughter." "She's very tenacious." "[ Chuckling ] We started out so horribly." "And at one point, I thought it was lost, but in the end, I can't say I've ever seen" "$100,000 sitting there in front of me." "It was just incredible." "Wow." "Wow." "We won!" "[ Both laugh ]" "Red team has won." "Red team has won." "Armando:" "As soon as I heard," ""the red team has won 'The Great Escape, '"" "yeah, I was beat." "I proved a lot to myself, and I feel that what I'm taking away from this is gonna completely change my attitude and my work ethic for the rest of my life." "And, you know, it taught me about myself... that I can defeat adversity and still keep going." "I left this ship knowing that I gave it absolutely everything I had." "Very good job, man." "Good job." "Red team has won." "Red team has won." "Sal:" "When I heard that the red team had won," "I was exhausted mentally, exhausted physically, and you know that... that your partner forgot the card." "You should have grabbed the access card." "I don't mean to be rude, but you should have." "You handed everything to me." "You're gonna look back on this, and you're gonna see," ""wow, my hair looked great, and my makeup was fine, and I didn't grab the access card." Are you kidding me?" "[ Voice breaking ] I knew how much the money meant to him." "That's a lie." "I did this for my mom." "It's the only reason I did this." "[ Crying ] I did." "I forgot the key." "And I know mom needs help." "That's why I feel terrible." "I'm so sorry." "For as hard as we worked together as a team and as much as we did," "I didn't realize that the card was still in there." "You know what?" "If we stick on this idea that she got this access card, it's gonna hold us back from being who we are to each other." "Yeah." "Come here, please." "You happy?" "No, but I still love you." "What are you gonna do with this money?" "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, my gosh." "Pay off college loans." "[ Laughs ]" "You know, my 25th anniversary is in June." "Uh-huh." "And I want to take my wife somewhere special." "Tim:" "Standing on the coast guard cutter at the end, it was just incredible."
