" All right, we're going to go B." "We're going to lock it in." "Five points with B. Lock it in." "[applause]" " If he's right, that could take you up to $1.65 million." "Let's ask The Wall." "Is he right?" "He's right!" "[cheers and applause]" "He has done an amazing job through the trivia." "There it is." "There's the green ball." "Hold my hands." "Million, million, million." "Drop it." "Come on, million!" "Drop it." "Drop it." "Drop it!" "[lively music]" " [shrieking]" "Yes, yes!" "[crowd yelling] [cheers and applause]" " [laughing] Oh, my God." "Okay, okay, okay." "Your total right now:" "$1.65 million." "[cheers and applause]" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "[cheers and applause]" "And it is now time for John to make a very massive decision that I would not want to have to make." "Everyone who plays this game has a chance to leave with guaranteed money." "I have this contract here that I'm going to send to him." "If he signs it, it's guaranteed money." "So let's figure out what that is." "We started with $65,213." "That's how much you had at the end of Free Fall." " Yes." " He got five out of six questions right, which was amazing." "However, he's in isolation." "He doesn't know how many you've got right." "He just knows that it's at least 65." " Right." " But 20 grand for each correct answer, which brings your guarantee to..." "$165,213 if he signs on the dotted line." "But John is in isolation." "He has no way of knowing that you have $1.65 million." "As far as he knows, you have zero or $3 million, or he just doesn't know." " [exhales]" " If he tears it up and returns it in pieces, it means he was willing to take a risk, and you will leave here with the total on The Wall at the end of the game." "But with four red balls still left to play, there's just no way to know what's going to be left at the end of the game." " Holy smokes." " I know, holy smokes." " Oh, God." " Now let's bring John back up on The Wall again." "There he is." "I'm going to walk over and load this contract into that pneumatic tube system as we get into this last portion of the game." " John, you have been absolutely amazing during this game." "I want you to do what your heart says." "I don't want you to sign the contract." "I want you to feel this $1.6 million we have on the table." " John has it." "It has all come down to this moment." "So we're going to cut off the feed." "We're going to let John make this decision in private." "We're not going to discover the choice he made until this is all over." " [sighs]" "What if it's $100,000 right now?" "'Cause I believe I got..." "I know..." "I believe I got two of those questions right." "That's a lot of money." "But what if it's $1 million out there?" "But what if it's nothing out there?" "I don't want to be one of those people that come here and then leave with nothing." "[lively music]" " Do you think he's going to sign it?" " I have no idea." "I'm so nervous right now." " Oh, that beeping sound, that means it's done." " Is it there?" "Is it there?" " Whatever he's chosen." "All right, the canister's over there." "We don't know what his choice was." "You have $1.65 million right now." "[cheers and applause]" "But we still have to get through the nasty business of four red balls that we have to play." "We have to play them from the same numbers that you played the green balls from." "Number five was the first one that you selected." " Do you hear me right now?" "You need to make sure you do your job and go to the dollar." " All right, you heard her, red ball." " Pow." " Drop it." " Do not take our money." "Go to the dollar." "Go to the dollar." "Go to the dollar." "Go to the dollar." "Go to..." " Okay, it's going left." "This is good." "Left is good." "Left is good here." "[crowd yelling] [cheers and applause]" " Yes!" "Yes!" "[whooping] [cheers and applause]" " [laughs]" "Okay." " Yes." " Whew!" "That leaves your total right now at $1,650,011." "However, the next number you selected was seven, all right?" " Follow your brother or sister, whoever that was." "Go to the dollar." "Peace." "$1." " I hope you're listening." "Do not take their money." "Go to the dollar." "Drop it." "[dramatic music]" " $1, $1, $1, $1." "Go to the dollar." "Go to the dollar." "Go to the dollar." "You're in the dollar!" "You're in the dollar!" "[crowd groans]" " That's okay." "We just need to keep it away from that million." " That's okay." " That brings your total now down to, after two balls," "$1,350,011." " I like that." " Still a lot of money." " That's still pretty." " The good news is, the third number you selected was one." " Public service announcement:" "go to number one." " All right." " One!" " Drop it." "[dramatic music]" " Go, go, go, go, go." "Go to number one." "Go to the number one!" "[crowd groans]" "That's okay." " It's okay." " I'll take that." " Three balls down, one to go." " One to go." " You still have on The Wall $1,300,011." " That's amazing." " Okay, the last number you selected was two." "Two is a very good place to drop this ball." "This is the last thing that we have to do in the game before we find out what John did." "You have a lot of money on The Wall, and let's hope that it's protected." "All right?" "[crowd yelling]" "Drop it." " Please, $1." "Come on, cutie pie." "Go to the dollar." "Don't take our money." "[lively music]" "Go to the dollar!" "You can do it again!" "Go!" "You're going to catch up." "[cheers and applause]" " Yes!" "Oh, my God!" " That was it." "That was all you had to do." "That was all you had to do." " Oh, my God!" "[screaming]" " [laughs]" " Yes!" " So your total on The Wall:" "$1.3 million." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I got you." "[laughs]" " [crying]" " We know that they're either leaving with $165,213 or $1.3 million." " [screams]" " You're watching "The Wall" on NBC." "Coming up, it's all led to this." "If you tore up the contract, you get the amount that was left up on The Wall." "A life-changing decision..." " I literally had no idea what to do." " With over $1 million at stake." "[dramatic music]" " Welcome back to "The Wall."" "All right, none of us know what John decided to do back there in isolation behind The Wall." "So this is the point in the show where we bring John out and see how this all ends." "Please welcome John back in front of The Wall, everyone." "[cheers and applause]" "How you feeling?" " Oh, man." "I'ma tell you like this, man." "I..." "I was back there." "I had no idea what I got right, what I got wrong." "I felt like I got two of them right." "I'm feeling overwhelmed a little bit." " Sure, but I'm here to tell you that you only got one question wrong." "[cheers and applause]" "Starbuck was from "Moby Dick."" "That was the only one you got wrong." " Ugh!" " I know." "But you answered five questions correctly." " Wow." " And for each of those right answers," "I added an additional $20,000 to your guarantee, which means the contract we put in front of you was worth $165,213, if you signed it." " Okay, okay, okay." " Now, if you tore up the contract, you get the amount that was left up on The Wall." "You don't know what that is yet." "So I'm going to bring you over to Angel." "This is going to be kind of like you're on the altar again." " That was one of the happiest days of my life then." "[applause]" " So, John, please tell Angel what your decision was." " Well, I was sitting there." "I literally had no idea what to do." "I thought I got maybe two answers right, okay?" "I'm sitting there, and I'm like, "Okay," ""we went back there with $65,000, right?"" "I'm like, "Okay, all right." ""If we take that, we can really help some people."" "You know what I mean?" "Like, we came here with nothing." "You know, I mean, we came here with the opportunity to win millions of dollars, but that's not guaranteed." "It's like, can we help people with $100,000?" "Yes." "Like, I was like..." "I put that pen up." "I wrote my name on that paper." "It was what it was." "And then I started thinking like, "Okay, but what if it is the big money?"" "Then I was like... okay, it came back to what we said before we left." "We came here with nothing." "Baby, don't cry." "Don't cry, okay?" "Don't cry." "It's okay, all right?" "So you know what I did?" "I took that contract." "I tore it up." "[people gasp and laugh]" " [crying]" "We won $1.3 million." "[cheers and applause]" " Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes, $1.3 million!" "[cheers and applause]" "Here is the torn-up contract." "They're leaving here tonight with $1.3 million." "The Wall was built to change lives." "These are good people." "Thank you so much for taking the journey with us." "We'll see you next time." "[sweeping music] [cheers and applause]" ".srt Extracted and Resynced by Dan4Jem, AD.MMXVII.I"
