00:30Francis Zuber, avid skier, was heading down the slopes when he caught sight of an object sticking just out of
00:36the snow.
00:37He stopped, went back, and found out it was actually a snowboarder inverted and buried in the snow fighting to
00:43get out.
00:44Hold on, I'm coming.
00:45So Francis took immediate action, digging out snow with his bare hands to save this man's life.
00:50So you're going to meet him and his wife, Hope, coming up right now.
00:53Welcome to the Wall on NBC.
01:03Please welcome to the Wall, Francis and Hope!
01:07Yay!
01:09How's it going?
01:10Good to meet you. How are you doing?
01:12Hey, Hope.
01:12Hi.
01:13Oh my gosh.
01:14Good to be here.
01:15Wow.
01:15I know, yeah.
01:16It's large.
01:17You could totally ski down there.
01:18You could ski down there.
01:19Yeah.
01:19Yeah, you know, it'd be kind of a gnarly drop-in, but I think I could do it, Chris.
01:22But you could probably do it.
01:23Yeah.
01:23You could probably do it.
01:23I wouldn't.
01:25Before we get started, I would just like to introduce you to everyone who's watching.
01:29Francis is a carpenter.
01:30Hope is a veterinarian.
01:31That's amazing, both of you.
01:33Thank you.
01:33They live in beautiful Bellingham, Washington.
01:36Not only are they newlyweds, but they're high school sweethearts.
01:39They've known each other since, like, middle school.
01:41Francis loves to ski.
01:42He's no strangers to the slopes, but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw one day
01:46last year.
01:48Francis was heading down the slopes when he caught sight of an object sticking out of the snow.
01:55It was just a tiny section of snowboard.
01:58You all right?
01:59And Francis just had a gut feeling and made a small decision that would become monumental.
02:04It was just a quick little flash, and then when I turn around, I realize it's a snowboard
02:08upside down, and I can see that he's moving back and forth.
02:10So I know that he's still alive, and you only have 15 minutes when somebody is immersed in
02:15snow before they suffocate.
02:17So I didn't know how long he'd been there for.
02:19I knew that I had to get to him as quick as I could.
02:22Hold on.
02:23I'm coming.
02:31Hey.
02:32You all right?
02:33Can you hear me?
02:45You okay?
02:46You all right?
02:50You're good.
02:51You're good.
02:52I got you.
02:53You okay?
02:54Can you breathe?
02:55Yeah.
02:56Okay.
02:57All right.
02:58We're both going to catch our breath for a sec.
03:01In under three minutes, he got to the snowboarder's face, creating an airway, and ultimately saving
03:06his life.
03:08I'm going to help Biggie out, okay?
03:09Thank you.
03:09Yeah, no problem, man.
03:11You're good.
03:13It is really incredible what you were able to do that day, and this may not surprise
03:17you that we have someone who just wanted to say a big thanks.
03:20Take a look.
03:21Francis.
03:22I love you guys so much.
03:25Francis, you went out of your way for me.
03:28I was absolutely certain that I wasn't going to survive.
03:31I had 100% accepted that I was going to die there on the mountain that I've ridden my
03:37whole life that I grew up on.
03:39Without you, I wouldn't be here.
03:41I wouldn't be able to say, you know, I love my wife.
03:47I wouldn't be able to see my family and my friends.
03:50And it was because of you that I have all those things.
03:55And I'm very grateful for that.
03:58Oh, my gosh.
04:00I mean, hearing the first person account of what happened is horrifying, because it
04:04all just changed in a second.
04:05It was just a second, you know?
04:07I'm so glad that Ian's okay, and he was very lucky to have you there that day.
04:10And we're lucky to have you here now, because this is your shot.
04:13Francis, you saved a man's life, but if all goes well tonight, you both could be going
04:17home with up to $12 million.
04:20That would be cool.
04:20That would take the edge off.
04:22That would take a look for the edge off.
04:24Later in the show, the million dollar bin is on the wall.
04:30We're going to give you 10 chances of that million dollars.
04:34After that, of course, there are red balls, which could be harmless, or they could take
04:38it all.
04:40But to earn a shot at the millions, we have to make it through Free Fall Plus.
04:43This is our speed game.
04:45So you know how this works.
04:46Once I read the question, three balls are going to fly down the wall.
04:49Okay.
04:49You must lock in your answer before the first ball breaks the plane on the top of those
04:53slots right there.
04:54And then we just have to finish Free Fall in the positive for a chance to go on to play
04:57for millions of dollars.
04:58That's Free Fall Plus.
05:00If you're feeling very confident that you know an answer, you can hit that.
05:04It will turn the balls gold.
05:05It will automatically double the amounts of whatever it lands in.
05:09You can only use Plus one time in Free Fall.
05:11All right, are you ready?
05:13Yeah, right.
05:14Let's do it, Chris.
05:15Here we go.
05:16First question of Free Fall.
05:18In the Matrix movies, Keanu Reeves plays the main character, a hacker who goes by what
05:23name?
05:23Is it Leo or Neo?
05:25Neo, Neo.
05:26Neo, V.
05:27V, V, V, V, V.
05:28We got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got
05:30it.
05:30Come on, come on, come on.
05:32Get it, get it, get it.
05:34There's a 5,000.
05:35Yeah, there's a 24.
05:37Oh, good one.
05:38$30,000, potentially $60,000 question.
05:43Oh, my God.
05:43That's a correct answer.
05:45Of course, it's Leo.
05:46Who would have said Leo?
05:48That is not a hero's name.
05:50Yeah.
05:51$60,002.
05:53That's not bad for one question.
05:54That's a good start.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:55All right.
05:56Question two.
06:02¡Es bien!
06:04¡Oh, no!
06:07¡Jerry?
06:07¡Jerry World!
06:09¡Jerry World!
06:09¡C'mon Jerry World!
06:10¡Vamos!
06:11¡C'mon Jerry World!
06:11¡Jerry World!
06:13¡Vamos!
06:14¡Vamos!
06:14¡Vamos!
06:15¡A$5,101!
06:17¡Jerry World!
06:18¡Yay!
06:19¡A$103!
06:21¡Nicely done!
06:22¡We both spelt Jerry!
06:23$65,103 es tu total ahora.
06:26Ok.
06:27Es hora de la tercera pregunta de Free Fall.
06:30Como establecido por la TV comedy Parks and Recreation,
06:33Galentine's Day es una celebración que se encuentra en qué date?
06:36¿Es febrero 13 o marzo 16?
06:39Hey, febrero 13, febrero 13.
06:42Ok, ok, ok.
06:42Ok, ok, ok, ok.
06:43Oh, ahí está.
06:44Oh, ahí está.
06:46Oh, ahí está.
06:47Oh, ahí está.
06:50$5,002.
06:52Galentine's Day es febrero 13.
06:54Nice to go.
06:56Wow.
06:56Galentine's Day.
06:57You now have $70,105 on the wall.
07:01Woo!
07:02Here is your fourth question.
07:05Ina Garten is a cook and host famously known as the barefoot what?
07:09Is it Contessa or Duchess?
07:12Uh, I'm going to just go with A.
07:15Contessa.
07:16All right.
07:16Yeah.
07:17All right, let's go, let's go, let's go.
07:19Come on, come on, come on.
07:20Come on, come on.
07:20$20,000.
07:21$20,000.
07:22Get out of there.
07:23Get in there.
07:24$20,000.
07:25There you go.
07:27$20,011, the barefoot Contessa.
07:30Oh, very good.
07:32Very good.
07:33Wow.
07:33Nice one.
07:34It was perfect.
07:35You have $90,116.
07:37Oh, my gosh.
07:38Here comes your last question of Free Fall.
07:41The reggaeton hit Gasolina was sung by Daddy Who.
07:45Is it Dodger or Yankee?
07:47Yankee.
07:48Daddy Yankee.
07:49Daddy Yankee.
07:50Yeah, that's an easy one.
07:51Come on.
07:52Oh, come on.
07:53$25,000.
07:53Why is it the one?
07:54What's the one?
07:55What is it with them?
07:57Come on, five.
07:58All right.
07:59All right.
08:00That almost went to $25, but $5,002, that's a correct answer.
08:04All right.
08:06Yan, you have at the end of Free Fall, $95,000.
08:11Okay, yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:12Later on, you're gonna have a choice whether or not to keep guaranteed money, which is
08:17$95,118 plus $20,000 for each correctly answered question, or do you rip it up and risk
08:23it for whatever is up on the wall?
08:25Could be millions.
08:25Could be zero.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Before the game, you decided, Francis, you're gonna go answer some trivia back there for
08:30us.
08:31Yes, sir.
08:31Are you a trivia guy?
08:32I got a lot of useless knowledge in my head, Chris.
08:35That's great.
08:35I'm hoping that the stars align a little bit back there.
08:37I feel like he can keep it cool and, like, really think through things.
08:40Meanwhile, I'm really good at being, like, a maniac, so I think it worked.
08:44It's gonna be a great team.
08:45You're gonna be a great team.
08:46So the next time you see each other, you could have millions of dollars.
08:49Okay.
08:52Francis, you are everything.
08:54Your compassion and your thoughtfulness and all those qualities, I feel like, just led
09:00to this moment when you found Ian.
09:03When I first saw that video, I still get emotional just because I saw every part of
09:09you you put into that rescue.
09:11I know you hate praise, and even more, you hate attention, but I'm glad we're doing this.
09:17You deserve it.
09:18You deserve it all.
09:19You're gonna do amazing.
09:21I love you.
09:21I love you, too.
09:24All right.
09:24I'm about to take you back.
09:25All right.
09:26You're gonna be great back there.
09:27Thanks for it.
09:27We'll be watching.
09:28We'll be sending happy vibes to the back end of all.
09:32All right.
09:32From this point on, do you think I have any idea how well it's going up here?
09:37You could be up.
09:38Millions are down to zero.
09:39Some days it's good.
09:40Some days it's not so good.
09:41We never know, but when we come back, the Million Dollar Super Drop kicks us up.
09:45Oh, my God.
09:47Oh, my God.
09:48Oh, my God.
09:49Oh, my God.
09:50And later...
09:50Oh, my God.
09:51Please.
09:52Oh, wow.
09:52What a wild kick to the right.
09:54Okay.
09:55An incredible night unfolds as hope goes all out.
09:58Okay.
09:59Okay.
09:59Oh, my goodness.
10:02And Francis wrestles with an impossible decision.
10:05Will he play it safe?
10:06This is a really tough call.
10:08Or will he risk it all?
10:21Welcome back to The Wall.
10:22This is Hope, a veterinarian from Bellingham, Washington.
10:25Back behind the wall in isolation is her husband, Francis.
10:27He's a carpenter and a life-saving skier, but tonight, he doesn't worry about handling
10:31all the trivia.
10:32Their current total is $95,118.
10:35But before we get back into the game, who did you bring for support tonight?
10:38These are our moms.
10:39Hey.
10:40Hi, moms.
10:41That's my mom, Tina, in the pink dress.
10:43Hi, Tina.
10:43And then that's Jerry, Francis' mom, in the cool aqua blazer.
10:48Thank you so much for being here.
10:49All right.
10:49This is round two.
10:50You can see on the wall there's now a $150,000 bin up there.
10:54Whoo!
10:55Which means it is time for the super drop.
11:01What?
11:02Seven times $150,000 means that you could have more than a million dollars in seconds.
11:06All right, wall.
11:07Come on, wall.
11:09Whoo!
11:09Drop off.
11:10Here we go.
11:10Okay.
11:12All right, let's go.
11:13All right.
11:13Let's go this way.
11:14Everybody go this way.
11:16Everybody go this way.
11:17Whoo!
11:17Let's go.
11:18Right here, right here.
11:18Oh, my God, oh, my God.
11:20Almost a $150,000.
11:22Oh, there's a $150,000.
11:24There's a $75,000.
11:25There's a one.
11:27That was great.
11:28This is really good stuff.
11:30This makes me very happy because now your total is $330,220.
11:35Oh, my God.
11:35Good job.
11:36Now, here's where we get to the questions.
11:38Yeah.
11:38You're going to decide where to play the ball from.
11:40Five, six, seven, or hovering over larger amounts.
11:42Could be a riskier play.
11:43Okay.
11:44If you're less confident, one, two, or three, or over lower amounts.
11:47And that's going to protect the money you have.
11:48Okay.
11:49Let's begin the question.
11:50Okay.
11:50Here are the answers.
11:52Can you hear me now?
11:54Got milk?
11:55What's in your wallet?
11:56That is feeling like they missed commercials or something.
11:59I feel like he's got this.
12:01Okay.
12:02I'm going to go with seven.
12:03Oh, wow.
12:04Risky play right out of the gate.
12:06Here we go.
12:08We're going to do it.
12:09Okay, seven.
12:10Okay, seven.
12:11Here we go.
12:12Let's send the question over to Francis.
12:16What question has Jennifer Garner been asking commercial viewers
12:19since 2014?
12:21Can you hear me now?
12:23Got milk.
12:24What's in your wallet?
12:26Oh, boy.
12:27Okay.
12:28Okay, Francis.
12:29I don't watch a ton of cable TV, to be honest.
12:31Oh, boy.
12:32This is a tough one.
12:33Okay.
12:33I'm going to rule out B right off the bat.
12:35I haven't seen her in a Got Milk commercial before.
12:39Can you hear me now?
12:40That's Verizon.
12:41I can't remember her being in that either.
12:43I'm going to go with C.
12:45What's in your wallet?
12:46Lock it in.
12:47Okay.
12:48Okay.
12:49Let's see.
12:50Yeah, it's for Capital One.
12:51Okay.
12:52Uh, and that is the correct answer.
12:53Oh, my God.
12:54What's in your wallet?
12:55Woo!
12:56Right now it's a green ball for number seven.
12:58Okay.
12:58Right here.
12:58Is in your wallet.
12:59So let's see how much money we can put in your wallet.
13:01Woo!
13:02Go ahead and drop it.
13:03Okay.
13:04Come on.
13:04This is good.
13:05This is a good start.
13:07Get in here.
13:08Get in here.
13:09Get in here.
13:10Get in here.
13:11Oh, my God.
13:11Okay.
13:12All the way.
13:12All the way.
13:13Oh, this is really good.
13:15Wait!
13:15Wait!
13:16Wait!
13:16Oh, my God.
13:17Get in the house!
13:19No!
13:21All right.
13:22It's okay.
13:22You're total on the wall right now.
13:24Yeah, it's good.
13:25330,230.
13:26Okay.
13:26All right.
13:27Here are your next set of answers.
13:30Le pentagon.
13:32Legs a good.
13:33Locked a good.
13:34Oh, jeez.
13:36Based on those.
13:37Do you want to double up?
13:38You can play de.
13:40Okay.
13:40These are French shapes.
13:42So he can at least figure out shapes.
13:45I think I'm gonna double up.
13:48Okay.
13:48But I'm gonna do five.
13:52Okay.
13:52Yeah.
13:53Doubling up for five.
13:54Here we go.
13:55Double up for five.
13:56Woo!
13:58Okay.
13:58Let us share the question with Francis.
14:02Yes.
14:03French.
14:05Because the country's border roughly resembles a specific shape,
14:09which of these do the people of France use as a nickname for their nation?
14:14La pentagon.
14:15Lexagon.
14:17Lactagon.
14:20Oh, boy.
14:21Okay.
14:22Okay.
14:22This is a tough one.
14:25Really, I'm just trying to picture the shape of France right now.
14:28Yeah.
14:29So I want to say it's only got five real borders to it.
14:34Oh, man.
14:35All right.
14:35Let's go with A.
14:36Lead pentagon.
14:37Lock it in.
14:38Okay.
14:38I may regret this.
14:39It's fine.
14:41Okay.
14:42The borders of mainland France are not perfectly straight lines,
14:45but it's pretty easy to draw a six-sided hexagon around them.
14:48Oh, God.
14:50I can't look.
14:51Okay.
14:51All right.
14:51Still early in the game.
14:53Okay.
14:53Please drop them.
14:53Just drop a little bit.
14:55Just drop them a little bit.
14:56Oh, God.
14:57Here they come.
14:58I'm scared.
14:59I'm scared.
14:59Go this way.
15:00Okay.
15:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:01Go this way.
15:02Now one of them's going a little right in the middle.
15:04Oh, they're both going right.
15:05Don't do that.
15:06Don't do that.
15:06Okay, $10,000.
15:09Okay.
15:10$100,000 and $10.
15:12Okay.
15:13Your current total right now is $230, $220.
15:15Not bad.
15:15$230, $220.
15:16Here is your last set of answers this round.
15:18Okay.
15:20Okay.
15:20Poodle.
15:21French Bulldog.
15:22Oh, my God.
15:23Golden Retriever.
15:24Okay.
15:24Based on those, I'm going to give you three options.
15:27You could play one.
15:28Yep.
15:29You could play three and triple up, or we could turn that one on the end gold.
15:33Oh, God.
15:34Then you can go wall to wall, which means we will place a ball in every slide.
15:37Okay.
15:38The riskiest move.
15:39Wall to wall could get you over 1.2 million.
15:41Okay.
15:42But that could also bring you down to zero.
15:44Uh, no.
15:45Do you happen to know someone who works with animals?
15:47Yes.
15:48Like, did you, if he absorbed anything from me ranting every day from work.
15:52Okay.
15:53I'm scared, but I'm going to go wall to wall.
15:56Really?
15:56Yeah.
15:57Okay.
15:57Drop that in there.
15:59I'm scared.
16:01Like, he's not going to want to watch this show after.
16:03Sorry, Francis.
16:06And we are in wall to wall.
16:08It's shimmering.
16:09It's golden.
16:10It's beautiful.
16:12Seven balls.
16:13Let's send Francis the question.
16:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:14Let's see, Francis.
16:18After 31 years at the top of the American Kennel Club's list of most popular breeds nationwide,
16:23in 2022, the Labrador Retriever dropped to the second position.
16:29Which breed took the Labrador Retriever's place as the most popular dog?
16:34Poodle.
16:36French Bulldog.
16:38Golden Retriever.
16:40Francis, I'm sending you vibes.
16:42Oh, boy.
16:42It's a Frenchie, and I'm, come on.
16:44I sure do wish we were switching positions right now.
16:47Oh, man.
16:49It's not Poodle.
16:50Rule out Poodle.
16:50I don't think it's Poodle.
16:51Okay.
16:52That's my guy.
16:53Oh, man.
16:53All right.
16:54French Bulldog.
16:55I know they're really popular.
16:57I don't think they're that popular, though.
16:58There's Golden Retrievers everywhere.
17:00It's got to be C.
17:01Golden Retriever.
17:02Block it in.
17:05You seem very confident.
17:07Yeah.
17:07Okay.
17:08Um, you were right.
17:12Francis was wrong.
17:13I'm so sorry.
17:14That's an incorrect answer.
17:15Oh, my God.
17:16It was French Bulldog.
17:17Okay.
17:18You did play wall to wall.
17:20Seven red balls right there.
17:21Now we've got to drop them wall to wall.
17:24Oh, no.
17:30It's fine.
17:31You're going to just all go not there.
17:33All go this way.
17:35Let's go this way.
17:36Okay.
17:36One, two, three.
17:37One dollar.
17:38Three women a dollar.
17:40Four women a dollar.
17:42Okay.
17:42I mean, four women a dollar.
17:44That is not bad.
17:45That's not bad.
17:45But I have to do it again.
17:47Yeah, I know.
17:48I know.
17:48Okay.
17:49So that makes your total now.
17:50One hundred five thousand two sixteen.
17:52Okay.
17:52We have a whole nother round.
17:54We have a whole nother round.
17:55We have to do the evil super drop.
17:57This is part of the balance of our game.
17:59They were green on the way up.
18:00They were red on the way down.
18:03Okay.
18:04Drop them.
18:05Drop them.
18:05Ah.
18:09Oh, God.
18:10Okay.
18:10Let's do it again.
18:11Let's all go in one.
18:12Let's all go in one.
18:13Right here.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Yeah.
18:15Okay.
18:18Oh, that's a check.
18:19That's a roll.
18:19That's a roll.
18:20That's a roll.
18:22That's a roll.
18:23That's a roll.
18:23That's a roll.
18:23That's a roll.
18:24Oh, my God.
18:25That was fantastic.
18:27This is unreal.
18:28Oh, my God.
18:28You just survived 14 red balls over two drops.
18:32And get this.
18:33Nine of those 14 red balls landed in just $1.
18:37That was crazy.
18:37So we're finishing this round.
18:39With something.
18:40With something.
18:40$30,201.
18:42That was great.
18:43Because when we come back, everything's going to change.
18:46We're going to have that million dollar bid up there.
18:48All right.
18:48Okay.
18:50And with four free shots at it.
18:52Oh, wow.
18:52What a wild kick to the right.
18:54Please, please, please.
18:55Ah.
18:56How many millions will he add to their total?
18:58Please, please.
18:59Oh, my goodness.
19:00Okay, okay, okay.
19:00Easy.
19:01Easy.
19:02This could happen.
19:03Yes!
19:09Welcome back to The Wall.
19:10Call in the family.
19:11This is where the biggest game in the world takes off.
19:14I'm here with Hope, a veterinarian from Bellingham, Washington.
19:17Back behind the wall in isolation is her husband, Francis, a life-saving carpenter.
19:21While skiing, he miraculously caught sight of a snowboarder buried upside down in the snow.
19:26And Francis immediately began digging him out of the snow with his bare hands,
19:30quickly working his way toward the man's face to free up an airway.
19:34Okay.
19:35You're good.
19:36You're good.
19:36I gotcha.
19:37And he made it just in time.
19:38Saved the man's life.
19:39Now they're all friends.
19:41It's an incredible story.
19:43They're currently told $30,201.
19:46All right.
19:46There's time for round three, and everything can change.
19:49Can you see there's a million dollar bid up there on the wall?
19:51Oh, there it is.
19:52As you know, we're going to start this round with four green balls.
19:55Yes.
19:56Four free shots at that million.
19:59Yep.
19:59But remember that wherever you play them from, they come back later as red balls.
20:02They do.
20:03And of course, the three questions in the middle can really swing the odds in either direction.
20:07Yeah.
20:07So now you just have to decide where you want to play your first green ball.
20:11Okay.
20:11We definitely do need to build up now.
20:15Okay.
20:15I am going to go with seven.
20:18Play number seven.
20:19Okay.
20:19Okay.
20:20Right off the bat, number seven.
20:22All right.
20:23That's our first green ball.
20:23Let's go ahead and drop it.
20:25All right.
20:25Okay.
20:25Woo!
20:26Okay.
20:27Million.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Let's do it.
20:30Drop it in the million.
20:33Yeah.
20:34Okay.
20:34Oh, wow.
20:35What a wild kick to the right.
20:37Please, please, please, please.
20:38Oh, my goodness.
20:38Okay.
20:39Okay.
20:40Easy.
20:41Easy.
20:41Easy.
20:42Okay.
20:43Oh, $500,000.
20:45$500,000.
20:46$500,000.
20:47Wow.
20:48We got the momentum going.
20:51Millions still within the reach.
20:52Your total on the wall now, $530,201.
20:57Oh, my God.
20:57Okay.
20:58That was a very good drop.
20:59Wow.
20:59Where would you like to play your next ball?
21:01I'd like to play my next ball at five.
21:05Number five.
21:06All right.
21:06Drop it in there.
21:09I'm going to dedicate five to veterinarians.
21:13Okay.
21:14And I was five years old when I first got my first dog, Muffin.
21:18It kind of inspired me to help more animals and save as many as I could.
21:24It just really struck a chord with me when I was young.
21:26And also, shout out to my mom, who's always pushed me to go further.
21:30And she loves animals.
21:31Well, anyone who dedicates their lives to taking care of our furry friends is fantastic.
21:37Yeah.
21:37Thank you.
21:38This could take you over $1.5 million.
21:41Whoo.
21:41Come on.
21:43Drop it.
21:44All right.
21:46Okay.
21:47Whoo.
21:48Let's go.
21:48Let's go this way.
21:50Okay.
21:50Yeah.
21:51Yeah.
21:51Yes.
21:52Yes.
21:54Come on.
21:56Yes.
21:56Yes.
21:58I'll take it.
21:59Okay.
22:00400.
22:01Very nice.
22:03Very nice.
22:04Your total on the wall is, get this, $930,201.
22:10Where do you want to play your third bar?
22:12I'm going to put this next one at three.
22:15Okay.
22:15Number three.
22:16Drop it in there.
22:20All right.
22:21This could take you over $1.9 million.
22:24Go ahead and drop it.
22:25Drop it in the millions.
22:26It's going to go right just $1 million right there.
22:32Okay.
22:33Okay.
22:34Okay.
22:35Let's go.
22:36Let's go.
22:36Let's go this way.
22:37Okay.
22:37100.
22:38200.
22:39200,000.
22:41$50,000 is all right.
22:42All right.
22:4250,000 is all right.
22:44I'll take that.
22:44Well done.
22:45Yeah.
22:45That brings your total to $980,201.
22:49Great.
22:50All right.
22:50You have one last green ball to play.
22:51You're just shy of $1 million.
22:53I'm going to go with two.
22:56Okay.
22:57Number two.
22:57Drop that in there.
23:02Okay.
23:03Last green ball.
23:04Yeah.
23:05You could easily get up over a million after this.
23:07Okay.
23:08Let's see if we can hop over to the right.
23:09You can go anywhere.
23:10Drop it.
23:13Okay.
23:14Go right here.
23:14Come on.
23:15Come on, mom.
23:16This way.
23:16Follow me.
23:17Okay.
23:17All right.
23:1850,000?
23:20All right.
23:2050,000.
23:21That gets you over a million.
23:22Great.
23:23I love it.
23:23Oh, my God.
23:24You're right.
23:24Yep.
23:25Check it out.
23:25$1,030,201.
23:29All right.
23:30Now, let's get to some questions.
23:32Okay.
23:32I'm going to give you the answers.
23:36Wayne Gretzky.
23:37Ooh.
23:37John McEnroe.
23:38Babe Ruth.
23:40Magic Johnson.
23:41Okay.
23:42This is sports.
23:43Okay.
23:44I don't want to go super crazy because I want to protect what I have, but I do think there
23:50might be a chance.
23:51So, I am going to go with four.
23:54Okay.
23:55Four.
23:55Yeah.
23:56That can go either way.
23:57Drop that in there.
23:58Okay.
24:00So, you're correct.
24:01This is indeed a sports question.
24:02So, we're bringing in someone off the bench to ask it.
24:04Please welcome NBC's Mike Chirico.
24:07Wow.
24:07What?
24:08Chris, let's do this.
24:10Let's do it, Mike.
24:11Yeah.
24:15Considered some of the greatest to ever play their respective games, which of these athletes
24:19professionally competed right-handed?
24:21Oh, jeez.
24:22Wayne Gretzky, John McEnroe, Babe Ruth, or Magic Johnson?
24:29Wall players.
24:30Good luck.
24:31Oh, man.
24:32I'm picturing Babe Ruth.
24:34I'm pretty sure he was left-handed.
24:35Okay.
24:36Something's telling me Wayne Gretzky was also left-handed.
24:40I feel like that's one of the crazy, fun facts about him.
24:43Okay.
24:43You know it.
24:44John McEnroe, Magic Johnson.
24:49Ah!
24:50I...
24:50Yeah.
24:51Yeah.
24:51It's kind of a shot in the dark here.
24:53Yeah.
24:54I'm gonna go with D, Magic Johnson.
24:56Block it in.
24:57Well, if he's right, he could potentially have $2 million on the wall.
25:01That's true.
25:02If he's wrong...
25:03Then we'll just...
25:04Pick up and keep going.
25:05Yeah.
25:06Okay.
25:07Competed right-handed...
25:09Magic Johnson!
25:11Yeah!
25:12Yeah!
25:13That's the correct answer.
25:14Number four.
25:15This could go anywhere.
25:16Whoa!
25:17Whoa, whoa, whoa!
25:18Okay.
25:19I love that this is green.
25:20Let's drop it.
25:22Whoa.
25:24Okay!
25:25Yes!
25:26Okay!
25:27Yes!
25:28Okay!
25:29Yes!
25:29Follow my voice!
25:30Follow my voice!
25:31Please follow my voice!
25:33Yes!
25:33Oh!
25:34$100,000!
25:38This is epic!
25:40A correct answer turns into another $400,000.
25:43Add that to the two huge hits from earlier in the round,
25:47and you've gone from $30,000 to a staggering $1,430,201.
25:55Oh, my God.
25:56This could be the biggest finish we've ever seen.
25:59We've got two questions, right?
26:00A double up and a triple up opportunity will be up there.
26:02It's up to $5 million still on the line.
26:04With a massive total on the wall and millions still up for grabs.
26:08You can double up if you want to.
26:10Whoo!
26:11Will this veterinarian and her life-saving husband from Washington
26:14go home, millionaires?
26:15Get to the left!
26:16Yeah, all the way to the left!
26:17All the way!
26:18Oh, goodness.
26:19Get to the left.
26:19Oh, my God!
26:20Oh, my God!
26:27Call or text everyone you know.
26:30This game is taking off.
26:32We just watched Hope go from $30,000 all the way up to more than $1.4 million to start
26:38this round.
26:38Welcome back to the wall.
26:40It's amazing.
26:41Like, everything's going great right now.
26:43You have an incredible $1,430,201 on the wall.
26:48Back in isolation, her husband Frances has no clue what's going on out here.
26:51We still have two questions left.
26:53Millions still within reach.
26:54Here are your next set of answers.
26:58Mbop, Barbie Girl, Fly Away, Jumpin', Jumpin'.
27:02Now, you can double up if you want to.
27:04Those, like, are some popular songs.
27:08I don't know how much he knows Mbop or Barbie Girl.
27:11Oh, you know what?
27:12I'm going to do one ball of three.
27:14Okay, great.
27:16One ball from number three.
27:17Okay.
27:19Let's send Frances the question.
27:24The first Now That's What I Call music compilation album in the U.S. was released in 1998.
27:30Which of these songs was not on that album?
27:35Mbop, Barbie Girl, Fly Away, Jumpin', Jumpin'.
27:41Okay.
27:42I remember those albums.
27:43This is going back a little bit.
27:45I was three years old when this was released.
27:48Which of these songs was not on that album?
27:51Fly Away, Barbie Girl, those are the only two that I recognize.
27:54I feel like Barbie Girl was post-2000.
27:57I remember that in elementary school.
27:59I want to say that's, like, early 2000s.
28:02Okay.
28:03I think let's go with B, Barbie Girl, Lock It In.
28:08Okay.
28:10The correct answer, Jumpin', Jumpin' by Destiny's Child.
28:14Okay, okay.
28:15So, yeah, that's okay.
28:16You only played one ball.
28:17Yeah.
28:17You did not double up.
28:18So, this could be fine.
28:19Okay.
28:20Let's go ahead and drop it.
28:22All right.
28:23One or ten.
28:24Even a hundred.
28:25But nothing else, please.
28:28Okay.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:29Stay over here, please.
28:31Yeah.
28:32Keep going.
28:32Yeah.
28:33Yes.
28:34Okay.
28:34Yes.
28:35Three.
28:36Yes.
28:37One dollar.
28:39Yay!
28:41Very good.
28:42Hope, nice job.
28:43Oh, my God.
28:45$1.430,200.
28:48It's nice and even.
28:49It's nice and even as we go into our last set of answers.
28:54Okay.
28:56Author, Leo Tolstoy.
28:58Guitar maker, Leo Fender.
29:00Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.
29:02Artist, Leonardo Da Vinci.
29:04Whew.
29:04Now, based on those, you can triple up if you want to.
29:06I think I'm gonna be a little more reasonable.
29:08Okay.
29:09One ball of four.
29:09One ball of four.
29:10Sounds good.
29:11It's gonna be great.
29:12No need to be nervous at all.
29:15Let's send him the question.
29:19Leo.
29:21Which of these famous people named Leo was born on August 10th, making his astrological
29:26sign Leo?
29:29Author, Leo Tolstoy.
29:31Guitar maker, Leo Fender.
29:34Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.
29:37Artist, Leonardo Da Vinci.
29:39How?
29:40Oh, wow.
29:41Who would know this?
29:45I'm not really big into the whole horoscope thing, either.
29:48I don't think he even knows that we're both Aquarius, but we are.
29:52It's kind of scary just throwing a guess out there at the moment, but I think that's
29:57what I have to do.
29:58Let's go with D, Leonardo Da Vinci.
30:00Lock it in.
30:02Maybe that's right.
30:03I don't know.
30:03You did the best in the situation.
30:04Yeah.
30:04I would have done the same thing.
30:06The correct answer was guitar maker, Leo Fender.
30:08Oh, okay.
30:09August 10th.
30:11Okay.
30:11Happy birthday, Leo Fender.
30:12Oh.
30:13Thanks for the sweet guitars.
30:14Okay.
30:15Okay.
30:15So let's go ahead and drop it.
30:17We're protecting 1.4.
30:20Come on, poor.
30:21You're gonna follow my voice to the left.
30:24Please.
30:25Please.
30:28Okay.
30:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:30No, no, no, no.
30:31I can't.
30:31Follow.
30:32Follow.
30:32Slow.
30:33Slow yourself.
30:34Slow your roll.
30:35Into the wild.
30:37Into the wild.
30:38Into the wild.
30:38Into the wild.
30:38Into the wild.
30:40Oh, my God.
30:42This is unreal.
30:45Francis may have missed the final two questions, but those two red balls combined only cost you $11.
30:53$1,430,190.
30:58$1,430,190.
30:58Oh, my God.
31:00This is an epic number.
31:01That's a lot.
31:02Right now it's deliberation time.
31:04Oh, my God.
31:05We're already there.
31:06This is a very tough decision to make.
31:08It's the seemingly impossible choice of taking guaranteed money or whatever is potentially
31:12left on the wall.
31:13Is this total of $1,430,190?
31:18Enough to make it through the four red balls?
31:21I'm scared.
31:22Now, this is a contract that will change the course of the show.
31:26Does he sign it?
31:27Does he tear it up?
31:27Everyone who plays the wall gets an opportunity to leave with guaranteed money.
31:32Yeah.
31:32A signed contract gets you all your money from free fall, which was $95,118.
31:36Yeah.
31:37Francis got two questions right, so 20 for each of those.
31:41$135,118 is what you would get if he signs the contract.
31:45Yeah.
31:45Which is a terrific guarantee.
31:47Okay.
31:47If he rips it up, he's risking for what's left on the wall, which right now is $1.4 million.
31:52Yeah.
31:52We still have to get through four red balls.
31:54Yeah.
31:54I'm going to send this to him.
31:56He's going to make that decision.
31:57We'll bring Francis up.
31:58He can't hear you or see you, but you all are so connected.
32:01So just talk to him.
32:03Oh, hi, Francis.
32:05You did awesome.
32:07We have a lot of money on the wall.
32:09I think you can rip it up.
32:13I give you my blessing to rip it up.
32:15Let's go for it.
32:16Let's figure it out.
32:18All right.
32:20There it goes.
32:24Francis has the contract.
32:25We're going to cut off the feed so that he can make this decision in private.
32:30Obviously, we're going to find out what he decided at the end of the show.
32:37I am, I'm still, I'm still at a total loss right now, honestly.
32:42I, it's really just because I, I don't, those last three questions were just so difficult.
32:49I'm kind of concerned that they all were just red and I'm picturing all the different scenarios that could have
32:54gone on out there.
32:56Hope has worked so hard and she has, she's got a lot of debt.
33:01It turns out becoming a veterinarian is not cheap.
33:03This is a really impossible decision.
33:05It really is.
33:12I mean, I figure if I got, I got two right, I think, pretty sure about that.
33:19This is a really tough call.
33:26Paul and the family, this is unreal.
33:29This could be a huge finish tonight.
33:32Welcome back to The Wall.
33:33I'm here with Hope.
33:33You have an incredible $1,430,190 on The Wall.
33:39About $135,000 in your guarantee.
33:41We're just waiting for Francis to decide on which one he's going to go for.
33:46Yeah.
33:46Oh, I hear it.
33:48Oh boy, there it is.
33:50So whatever he decided, he's done.
33:52Yeah, that's it.
33:53But there's one last part of the game that we have to get through.
33:55It's the four red balls.
33:57We're going to play them from the same place that we let you drop the four free green balls from.
34:00The first number you chose was seven.
34:05All right, seven.
34:06This time, go to the left.
34:13If it goes anywhere but the million, we'll be in good shape.
34:16Yeah, yeah.
34:17Anywhere but the million.
34:19Number seven.
34:20Ooh, there's a lot of big amounts over there.
34:25All right.
34:26Be nice.
34:28Drop it.
34:30Whew.
34:34All right.
34:35Come on, come on.
34:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:37Go all the way.
34:37All the way.
34:38All the way, all the way, all the way.
34:39Don't even think about it.
34:40Right in the ten.
34:41Right in the hundred.
34:42Oh, my God.
34:44Oh, my God.
34:47Oh, God.
34:48That's the one I told it not to do.
34:51Oh.
34:52Hope, I'm so sorry.
34:53Okay.
34:54I'm so sorry, Hope.
34:56Oh.
34:57Oh, that's a bummer.
34:59That really sucks.
35:01Okay.
35:02I'm sorry.
35:03Still $430,190 up there.
35:07Yeah, that's still a lot.
35:07That's still a lot.
35:07The second number you selected was five.
35:10All right, five.
35:11You're gonna now just stay away from the big ones.
35:17All right.
35:18Oh, jeez.
35:18Number five.
35:19Go ahead and drop it.
35:20You've been so nice to me, Walt.
35:22Please be nice to me.
35:30Okay.
35:30Okay.
35:31All right.
35:31To the left.
35:33To the left.
35:34To the left.
35:35One.
35:36One.
35:36Oh, my God.
35:38Oh, my God.
35:42Open one.
35:43Open one.
35:43It's just like that release of tension after that last drop.
35:47That was a huge whiplash.
35:50Oh, my God.
35:52That ball was dancing over the million, but only took one dollar.
35:57Oh, jeez.
35:58All right.
36:00We're halfway there.
36:01You know how the total of $40,189?
36:04Yeah.
36:04Okay.
36:05Three.
36:05The third number you selected was three.
36:07Yeah.
36:07So let's put that in there.
36:09Anything for the left.
36:10A hundred or a one or a ten.
36:12Okay.
36:13All right.
36:14Drop it.
36:17Come on.
36:17Three.
36:18Right in that one.
36:19We're gonna do $1 from now on.
36:21That's it.
36:27All right.
36:27Get to the left.
36:28Yeah.
36:29All the way to the left.
36:29All the way.
36:30No more to the left.
36:31All the way.
36:32All the way.
36:32All the way.
36:33All the way.
36:34Yes.
36:37Oh, my God.
36:38Okay.
36:39Okay.
36:39Okay.
36:40Okay.
36:41Okay.
36:43Wow.
36:43Oh, goodness.
36:45Okay.
36:45You're doing great.
36:46You're total on the wall now.
36:48You have 431.88.
36:50I'm very happy to tell you the last number you chose was two.
36:53Yes.
36:53This is our final ball.
36:54Okay.
36:55Here we go.
36:56Two.
36:57We've got two ones in a row.
36:59Two amazing drops.
37:01Can we do it again?
37:03Yes.
37:03Last ball.
37:04Last ball.
37:05Last ball.
37:07The million wipes you out.
37:09The 500,000 wipes you out.
37:10The 400,000 takes almost all of it.
37:12I mean, you've had so many lucky drops tonight.
37:15Do you have just a little bit of luck left for one more right here?
37:19Last one.
37:25Okay.
37:26Come on.
37:26Three.
37:27No, left.
37:28All the way.
37:29Left.
37:29Left is good.
37:30Easy.
37:31Left is good.
37:31Left is good.
37:33$50,000 money.
37:34Yes.
37:35You're going home with money.
37:36You're going home with money.
37:37You're going home with money.
37:38Oh, congratulations.
37:40Oh, my God.
37:41Oh, my God.
37:42Oh, my God.
37:43I'm going to cry.
37:46$380,188.
37:47Folks, I'm very happy to tell you that you are either going home with $380,000 or $135,000.
37:56Yeah.
37:56In just a minute, we're going to find out how this story ends.
37:58Did Francis sign a contract for $135,000 or tear it up for $380,000?
38:04This is The Wall on NBC.
38:05Nicely done.
38:08Coming up.
38:10Francis Zuber's quick thinking on the slopes prevented an unthinkable tragedy.
38:14Discovering a submerged snowboarder trapped and helpless, Francis dug him out just in the nick of time to open an
38:20airway and save his life.
38:22Okay.
38:23You're good.
38:23I got you.
38:25And now, if you tore up the contract, you're risking it all for what's left on the wall.
38:29It's a $380,000 moment for this young couple from Washington.
38:33You know me, I like to take some risks.
38:35I like to send it a little bit.
38:37But, uh, I'm getting older, maybe, and was thinking about playing it safer.
38:41It was a very difficult decision.
38:48But I...
38:55Welcome back to The Wall.
38:57Well, it's time to end the suspense and find out what Francis decided.
39:00Let's bring him out.
39:02Francis Zuber, ladies and gentlemen.
39:04Welcome to the stage.
39:05How are you?
39:06Feeling a little rattled, Chris.
39:07That was, uh, that was probably the most nerve-wracking experience I've ever had just sitting in a chair.
39:12You seem totally composed.
39:15It didn't read, uh, on camera.
39:16You did great back there.
39:17Well, thank you.
39:18And I'll bring you up to speed.
39:19You got two questions right.
39:20I'm gonna give you $20,000 for each one of those toward your guarantee.
39:23Which means if you sign the contract I sent you, it was worth $135,118.
39:27If you tore it up, you're risking it all for what's left on the wall, which you don't know.
39:32And we don't know what you did, so I'm gonna invite you over to Hope.
39:35Didn't seem like that long ago we were right here.
39:38So go ahead and tell us what you decided.
39:41Okay.
39:44Sitting back there, I was thinking a lot about our, our future.
39:51We want to have a family, build on our house, pay off our debt, pay off the mortgage.
40:00And $100,000 probably wouldn't cut that.
40:04You know me, I like to take some risks.
40:06I like to send it a little bit.
40:08But, uh, I'm getting older maybe.
40:11And was thinking about playing it safer.
40:22It was, yeah, it was a very, very difficult decision.
40:32But I ripped it up.
40:41Frances, I am so proud of you.
40:44Uh, that was not easy at all back there.
40:48But you did so well.
40:50And it's just kind of crazy looking at you.
40:53I fell in love with you when I was 16 years old.
40:56And I've loved you my whole life.
41:00And you're always, always there to support me.
41:04So I just can't thank you enough for that.
41:08And just thinking about you back there, going through that, you should be confident because we are going home with
41:17$380,000.
41:19You made the right call, $380,188.
41:24What a nice couple.
41:27You know, she helps people's pets get better.
41:30He saves people.
41:33I mean, it's, you've been together since high school.
41:36Just seeing the two of you together, it's just, it warms this old man's heart.
41:41This really made my day.
41:43I love giving nice people good news.
41:45And they are going back to Bellingham, Washington with $380,188.
41:50I hope this made the day a little bit better.
41:52Thanks for watching The Wall.
41:54Good night.
41:57$380,188.
41:58We did it.
42:00We got money.
42:10We're hobby.
42:24Thank you.
42:36What's your journey?
42:37What's your journey?
42:38Gracias.
