TVTranscript
00:08So far, the wall has paid out over $35 million and counting.
00:15You give real people that shot to change their lives and to live out their dreams.
00:22Who's next?
00:25Tonight, the $12 million dream shot goes to an amazing couple from Florida.
00:30Vincent and Katie met and fell in love while serving in the Navy.
00:33He's now a firefighter, but listen to this.
00:35One night, Vincent's on duty.
00:36It's like 2 in the morning when a newborn baby gets dropped off at the fire station.
00:41What happens next was unbelievable.
00:43We'll tell you all about it.
00:44This remarkable duo is coming up right now.
00:47Welcome to the wall on NBC.
00:56Please welcome to the wall, Vincent and Katie.
01:01Oh, my gosh.
01:02How are you doing, Katie?
01:03Oh, there we go.
01:04Yeah, all right.
01:04Oh, my gosh.
01:06It's so good to see you both.
01:08First of all, thank you both for your service to the country.
01:11Thank you for your support.
01:12And also, additionally, as a firefighter and first responder.
01:14And this is just so mind-blowing.
01:18It's such an incredible story.
01:20Hailing from Ocala, Florida, Vincent's a firefighter.
01:23Katie is an occupational therapist.
01:24They've been married nine years.
01:26They met while serving together on the same aircraft carrier.
01:29He was a master at arms, which is like a military police officer.
01:33And I was an aviation ordnance man, so I built and transported bombs and ammunition.
01:38We did three tours.
01:39It was very rewarding.
01:41When I left the military, I knew that I wanted to help more people.
01:44I have been a firefighter for the city of Ocala for almost nine years.
01:49Working as a team, happily dedicated to a life of service, there was just one thing missing for Vincent and
01:54Katie.
01:54We were trying to have kids about 10 years.
01:57And we did infertility for a while.
02:01And that didn't work out.
02:03We tried to adopt.
02:05And just no success.
02:08Then one morning, everything changed.
02:10At 2 a.m., a newborn was dropped off in the Safe Haven baby box at Vincent's fire station.
02:16The alarm had gone off.
02:17And as I opened up the door, you know, she was sitting there and just...
02:22just laying there for me.
02:24And, uh...
02:26I picked her up.
02:28And it's probably the second time in my life that something felt perfect.
02:33I would have to say the first time was when we got married.
02:35But, uh, yeah, we just looked at each other.
02:38And she just stops crying and is just, like, staring at me the whole time.
02:42And then once I got to the hospital, I was like, oh, like, this...
02:45We could actually adopt her.
02:47Like, this could actually happen.
02:48And I text her about 6 a.m.
02:50Hey, call me, which is never, never a good sign.
02:54Yeah, of course.
02:55Is that ever good news?
02:57Especially being a first responder, right?
02:58So she calls me right away.
03:00He's like, yeah, you'll never believe this.
03:03Somebody surrendered a baby to the baby box.
03:06And the first thing I said was, shut up.
03:09Did you do this?
03:11Already registered for adoption in Florida,
03:14Vincent and Katie wasted no time.
03:16And two days later, they were bringing home baby Zoe from the hospital.
03:20Now a family together.
03:23Vince, can I give you a hug?
03:24Get over here.
03:25Get over here.
03:28I just, I love you guys already.
03:30I love you guys already.
03:31And it's really hard to watch your story and not get emotional about it.
03:35Yes.
03:36You've given this child a wonderful family.
03:38I mean, it's so mind-blowing to me that within 48 hours,
03:42like, this thing that you've been trying for 10 years is like,
03:43oh, okay, you're on.
03:45Yes, yes.
03:46Exactly, yes.
03:46Congratulations.
03:48This is your night.
03:49We're hoping you crush it.
03:50Everyone already loves you right off the bat.
03:52So they're going to want you to go home
03:54with potentially more than $12 million up there on the wall.
03:58Later on in the show, the million-dollar bin is on the wall.
04:03We're going to give you 10 chances at that million dollars.
04:07After that, of course, there are red balls,
04:10which could be harmless, or they could take it all.
04:13To earn a shot at the millions,
04:14we have to make it through free fall.
04:15Plus, this is our speed game.
04:17You know how this works.
04:19You just lock in your answer before the first ball breaks the plane
04:21at the top of the slots right there.
04:23And then we just have to finish free fall in the positive
04:25for a chance to go on to play for millions of dollars.
04:28That's free fall plus.
04:29If you are very sure that you know an answer,
04:32you may hit that.
04:33It will turn the balls gold.
04:35If you get the answer right, you get double the amount.
04:38Or we will take it away if they turn red,
04:40if you get the answer wrong.
04:41You can only use that one time.
04:42All right.
04:43So let's get started.
04:44Here's our first question of free fall plus.
04:47Lined with vintage hotels and colorfully lit buildings,
04:50what famous 1.4-mile road
04:52runs through Miami Beach's historic Art Deco district?
04:55Is it Ocean Drive, Beach Boulevard?
04:58Beach Boulevard.
05:01Come on, let's go, let's go, baby.
05:03Beach Boulevard, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
05:05Come on, let's go, yes, yes, yes, come on.
05:08We have $40,000, $40,000, $40,000.
05:11The correct answer is actually Ocean Drive.
05:13That's all right.
05:15We're just right where we started.
05:16No problem.
05:17We'll be okay.
05:18Not a big deal, there's still four questions to go.
05:20Here comes the question.
05:23Who's the older member of the music duo Chloe and Halle?
05:26Is it Chloe Bailey or Halle Bailey?
05:33There we go, let's go, let's go.
05:34There we go, there we go.
05:36Come on, let's go.
05:3710, 10, 10, 10, 20, 45, 55.
05:40I don't know about that one, Chris.
05:42Yeah, unfortunately, the correct answer was Chloe Bailey was A.
05:46It was A, that's all right, we got $0 on the wall, but it doesn't matter because we still
05:49have three questions to go.
05:51A lot of money up there up for grabs still.
05:52We'll be all right.
05:53Here is your third question.
05:56Wayne Brady won an Emmy for his performance on the improvisational comedy series Whose Line
06:00and Is It What, Is It What, Is It Whatever, or Anyway?
06:0525.
06:06There we go.
06:09Let's get him some of those 25s.
06:1125, right here, come on, go to the left, go to the left, come on, here we go, here we
06:15go.
06:15Boom!
06:1820, 20, 20, 20.
06:20Oh, if you're right, this could be an $80,000 question, and of course you are who's on it,
06:24but anyway, of course, you know, one of the greatest shows in total is history, of course.
06:29This is good, we went from $0 to $80,000, this is really good, really fast.
06:35Here is your next question of Free Fall.
06:39What are the first two letters of the popular social media hashtag GRWM stand for?
06:45Is it grandparents react or get ready?
06:50I don't know, A, A, A, A.
06:53No, V, V, V, V, V, V, V.
06:54Come on, let's go.
06:56There we go.
06:56Come on.
06:58There we go.
06:59$20,101.
07:01I have confidence.
07:01I am so glad you did that at the last minute.
07:05Woo!
07:06That is the correct answer.
07:08That's how it's done.
07:09Woo!
07:10Woo!
07:11So basically what they just did is that they hit A, and I'm watching to see, like,
07:16they still have a second, the ball hasn't broken the plane, and in the last possible second,
07:20you hit B, that counts, you have $100,301.
07:24Yeah!
07:25There we go.
07:26All right, here's our last question of Free Fall.
07:29Tangerines and clementines belong to the same family of which of these fruits?
07:33Is it oranges or peaches?
07:36Oranges.
07:37I don't know.
07:38Let's go.
07:39$5,000.
07:41This is what we need.
07:42Right here.
07:42Come back.
07:43Right here.
07:44Oh, OK.
07:45$10,000.
07:45Yes!
07:46$10,000.
07:47Another $15,000.
07:50You better get that right from Florida.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Of course that's the correct answer.
07:54There we go.
07:55Yes.
07:56You have said peaches.
07:57Anyone have been like, get out of here.
07:58We're going to Georgia.
07:59You've got to move to Georgia.
08:00That's where they keep the peaches.
08:03$115,302.
08:05There we go.
08:06Oh, my God.
08:06You really turned this around, you know?
08:08Yes, we did.
08:09And that's a very important amount, because later on, there's going to be a very difficult
08:12choice to make.
08:13Whether or not to keep guaranteed money, which is your freefall total plus $20,000 for each correct
08:18answer during the body of the game, or potentially risk it for whatever is left on the wall.
08:22And we never know.
08:24Could be millions of dollars.
08:25Could be zero.
08:26Before the game, you decided, Katie, you're going to go behind the wall and answer some
08:29trivia.
08:29Why did you decide to?
08:31Um, Vince knows me better than anybody.
08:33And he'll know based off the answers to the questions if I have a good chance of getting
08:37it right.
08:38So I think he's going to play a really smart game out here.
08:40All right.
08:40Hey, you're going to do great.
08:42Honestly, the next time you see each other, you could have millions of dollars.
08:45Thanks.
08:47I love you.
08:49It's pretty crazy that we're here.
08:51But you deserve to be here.
08:53You sacrifice so much for the people in your community and for your family.
08:58And you don't ask for anything in return.
09:03I love you so much.
09:05Uh, Katie, we've been together for almost 14 years now.
09:11You are my best friend.
09:13You always have been.
09:15You've been there for me.
09:17You've been my rock.
09:18When I've needed you.
09:19Go back there.
09:21Rock it.
09:21You are the smartest person I know.
09:23I always tell you that.
09:24And you truly are the smartest person I know.
09:26I love you.
09:27I love you too.
09:29All right, Katie, we have to ask you to go back behind the wall.
09:33You'll be great back there.
09:34We're going to do great out here.
09:38From that moment on, that wall door is shut.
09:40She's not going to have any idea what's going on out here.
09:42You're up a million or down to zero.
09:46But I'm out here for you.
09:47We'll get through it together when we come back.
09:50The Million Dollar Super Drop kicks us off.
09:52Here we go.
09:53Come on, let's go.
09:53Go to the right.
09:54Come on, go to the right.
09:55Oh, yeah, there it is.
09:56Yes!
09:57And later.
09:58There we go.
09:59Yeah, that's one.
10:00Oh, yeah.
10:00Come on.
10:01Over to the right.
10:01Yes!
10:03An epic night unfolds for this adoptive couple.
10:06Go that way.
10:07No, no, no.
10:08Will Katie play it safe or risk it all?
10:11It's really hard.
10:13But there could be a million dollars, you know?
10:24Welcome back to The Wall.
10:25I'm out here with Vincent.
10:26He's the sweetest, by the way.
10:27He's also a Navy veteran and a firefighter from Ocala, Florida.
10:31Back behind the wall in isolation is his wife, Katie.
10:33She's also a Navy vet and an occupational therapist.
10:36Yes.
10:36Their total on the wall right now is $150,202.
10:40Which is a great start.
10:42Before I get back into the game, I see someone over there.
10:45What?
10:45Who did you bring for support?
10:47That is my little brother, Rico.
10:49Hey, Rico!
10:49I'm taller than him, though.
10:50You're taller than him.
10:51All right.
10:52Of course, the competitive one.
10:54Exactly, exactly.
10:55By the way, this is round two.
10:57I just want to remind everyone that we have now put a $150,000 bin up there on the wall.
11:01Yes.
11:02And Vince, we're just, uh, we're gonna start with the super drop.
11:06We want to add as much as we can to this total.
11:10And let's super drop it.
11:12Here we go.
11:12Come on, let's go.
11:15Oh, there it goes.
11:16Come on.
11:17Go to the right, guys.
11:18All the way to the right.
11:19All the way to the right.
11:20Keep going.
11:20Big numbers, guys.
11:21Big numbers.
11:21Come on.
11:22Let's go.
11:23Go to the right.
11:24Go to the right.
11:25Go to the right.
11:26Go to the right.
11:29Yes.
11:30Oh, my gosh.
11:31$350,201.
11:33Yes.
11:33There we go.
11:34I mean, that was a fantastic super drop.
11:38Woo!
11:39Yes.
11:40Here's your total now.
11:42$465,503.
11:44Nice place to start.
11:45Just under half a million dollars.
11:47Now we're going to get to the questions.
11:49This is where you have a lot of control over the game.
11:51Five, six, seven, or hovering over larger amounts.
11:54Could be a riskier play.
11:55If you're less confident, one, two, or three,
11:57or over lower amounts.
11:58And that's going to protect the money you have.
12:00It's all up to you.
12:01Just whatever you feel.
12:02Here are the answers to the first question.
12:06Maya Rudolph.
12:08Melissa McCarthy.
12:10Kristen Wiig.
12:11So based on that, where do you want to play this first ball?
12:14Okay, so I know who Melissa McCarthy is,
12:16and so does she.
12:17So I am going to place the ball.
12:23We're going to go number three.
12:25Okay, number three.
12:28Drop it in there.
12:34And now let's send the question over to Katie.
12:38Yes!
12:39Which of these comedians played the maid of honor
12:42in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids?
12:44Maya Rudolph.
12:47Melissa McCarthy.
12:49Kristen Wiig.
12:51Okay.
12:52I love Bridesmaids.
12:55Yes, you do.
12:56Bridesmaids is definitely top ten of our favorite movies to watch.
13:02So the maid of honor was see Kristen Wiig lock it in.
13:07Good job, girl.
13:07All right.
13:08There you go.
13:09She just got right to it.
13:10Yes.
13:10Bridesmaids is literally one of the greatest comedies in the history of film.
13:13Yes, it is.
13:13And I'm glad that you both know that as well.
13:15That is a correct answer, Kristen Wiig.
13:17Yes, there we go.
13:17You also co-wrote the film.
13:19Let's see if we can get over half a million dollars.
13:20Drop it!
13:21Come on, ball.
13:21Let's go.
13:22Over to the right.
13:23Let's stay over on this right-hand side.
13:26Here we go.
13:26Come on, go to the right.
13:27Let's go.
13:28Keep going to the right.
13:28All right.
13:29This way.
13:30No, no.
13:30Right way.
13:31That way.
13:31Go to the right.
13:33$10,000 is still money.
13:35Nicely done.
13:36$10,000 in total.
13:37$475,503.
13:39And because she got that question right, we're going to add an additional $20,000 to your guarantee.
13:43Okay.
13:44That puts you around $135 right now.
13:46Okay.
13:46Which is a very nice place to be.
13:47Here are your next set of answers.
13:52Fluorescence.
13:54Bioluminescence.
13:55Phosphorescence.
13:57Okay.
13:57By the way, you can double up if you want to.
14:00Or not.
14:00Just an option.
14:01Just an option.
14:02Okay.
14:03So we're going to play a single ball.
14:05And we're going to go number four.
14:07One ball for number four.
14:12All right.
14:13Let's send her the question.
14:17Many jellyfish emit a glowing light when a substance in their bodies called luciferin reacts with oxygen.
14:23This light-producing process is called what?
14:27Fluorescence.
14:29Bioluminescence.
14:30Phosphorescence.
14:31Interesting.
14:33Okay.
14:35So Zoe loves the aquarium right now.
14:39Yes.
14:40And she always loves looking at the jellyfish and watching them just kind of bob around.
14:44For some reason, bioluminescence is sticking out to me because I feel like, you know, growing up in Florida, we
14:51always had where you could take a kayak out to the water and at certain times of the year, the
14:56water would light up and they would call it bioluminescence kayaking.
14:59Yep.
14:59So I'm going to say, be bioluminescence, lock it in.
15:05Okay.
15:05Okay.
15:06All right.
15:07There you go.
15:09Jellyfish emit a glowing light with a substance in their bodies called luciferin reacts with oxygen.
15:13This is called bioluminescence.
15:15Yes.
15:15There you go.
15:16Very well done.
15:17You've played one ball from over four.
15:19This could easily hop into 150.
15:20So let's drop it.
15:25Come on, bud.
15:26Let's go.
15:26Over to the right.
15:27Right this way to the right.
15:28Come on.
15:29Keep going.
15:29That way.
15:30That way.
15:30Go to the right.
15:30There we go.
15:31Right here.
15:32Right here.
15:32Over here.
15:34Okay.
15:34It's okay.
15:35It's okay.
15:36It's okay.
15:37Well, I'll tell you why it's okay, because you still have $475,504 on the wall.
15:42That's a lot.
15:43Here we go.
15:43Here's our last set of answers for this round.
15:49Ghost.
15:50Vampire.
15:52Spider.
15:53It's the third question, so you're going to have three options right now.
15:56You can play a single ball like you did the last time.
15:58You can triple up if you want to, or if you're feeling particularly risky, you can go one.
16:04Wall to wall.
16:05You put that gold ball in there.
16:06We put a ball in every slot.
16:08And then we hope for the best.
16:09Well, the gut's telling me to go single ball.
16:14Okay.
16:14Um, but it's also telling me, have fun.
16:17Let's play a little risky.
16:19Okay.
16:19I think I'm going to do this one from the number five.
16:21Okay.
16:22Play a ball from number five.
16:24You're good at me.
16:26All right.
16:26Let's send the question over to Katie.
16:31With a starting price of more than $300,000,
16:34what is the least expensive model of Rolls Royce?
16:37Oh, she has no clue.
16:39Ghost.
16:40Vampire.
16:42Spider.
16:45Oh, Vincent, I hope you did not go wall to wall.
16:50I didn't.
16:50We're good.
16:50On this question.
16:52Okay.
16:52Because the only thing I'm worse at than sports is cars.
16:56Yes.
16:56This is true.
16:57Um, I have heard of this car brand, but they are way out of my price range.
17:04So I'm probably going to rule out Spider because I just don't think Spider is a cool
17:11enough name to be part of a Rolls Royce.
17:14Okay.
17:15Sounds good.
17:16Ghost is sticking out to me.
17:18I just feel like that's pretty, you know, they're fast, they're cool.
17:23Um, I'm going to say A, Ghost.
17:26Lock it in.
17:27Okay.
17:27Good job.
17:29Okay.
17:29She went through very methodically Spider.
17:31She was able to rule that out between vampire and ghost.
17:35Uh, do you know the correct answer?
17:37I'm missing ghost, you know?
17:38That's correct.
17:39Yes.
17:39It's Ghost.
17:40Well done.
17:41That's my girl.
17:42You played one ball from five.
17:44That's a great place to be.
17:45Let's go ahead and drop it.
17:48Come on, ball.
17:51Come on, ball.
17:52Let's go.
17:52Let's go.
17:52Drop to the right.
17:54Keep going.
17:55Big kick to the right.
17:56Come on.
17:56Go to the right.
17:57Go to the right.
17:57Come on.
17:57Keep going.
17:58Go to the right.
17:58It's all right.
17:59Okay.
17:59We got a big numbers here.
18:00Right here.
18:0025.
18:0125.
18:0250.
18:04Oh!
18:07I'm so sorry.
18:08Okay.
18:09They got a little scared and just wanted to be safe over there.
18:11Yeah, exactly.
18:11Because we're talking about ghosts and vampires.
18:13Yeah, exactly.
18:14$475,505.
18:15There we go.
18:17Now your guarantee is over $175,000.
18:21Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
18:21All right?
18:22There we go.
18:22Three for three.
18:24We're all very happy right now.
18:25Let's hold on to that because now we have to do the balance part of the game.
18:28We have to do the evil super drop.
18:29At the beginning, we dropped seven green balls.
18:32Now we have to drop seven red.
18:34All right, balls.
18:35Listen up.
18:36We all just go to small numbers and we'll all be okay.
18:40All right?
18:41Listen to what I say, team.
18:42All ones.
18:43All ones.
18:46All ones.
18:46All right.
18:47Drop it!
18:51All right, balls.
18:52You guys just stay way over here.
18:53Nobody's over here.
18:54Go this way.
18:55Everybody stay to the left.
18:57Stay to the left.
18:58You two over there.
18:58Go this way.
18:59There we go.
18:59There we go.
19:01One.
19:01One.
19:04Oh!
19:05Whoo!
19:05That stings a little.
19:06Biscuit.
19:06Not horrible.
19:08275.
19:08No, not horrible.
19:09Stings.
19:09Just a little light sting.
19:11Yeah.
19:13$200,403 in total right now.
19:15Still a good amount going into the next round.
19:17Because this is where everything can change in a half a second.
19:20The million dollar bid goes up when we come back.
19:22Let's go.
19:23Go to the right.
19:23There we go.
19:24Come on.
19:24Over more.
19:25And with four free shots at it.
19:26Get in there!
19:27Over to the right.
19:28Over to the right.
19:29How many millions will Vincent be able to add to their total?
19:33Oh, good job to the right.
19:34Go to the right.
19:34There we go.
19:35Come on.
19:35Oh, my gosh.
19:36Come on.
19:44Welcome back to The Wall.
19:45This is where the biggest game in the world takes off.
19:48Vince is a firefighter from Ocala, Florida.
19:51His wife, Katie, is behind the wall in isolation.
19:53So far, Katie has all three questions, right?
19:56Yes.
19:56The current total on the wall is $200,403.
19:59And their guarantee is, like, $175.
20:02And this couple, this firing story is absolutely incredible.
20:05So one night, Vincent's on duty when a newborn baby gets dropped off at the fire station.
20:10Already registered for adoption in Florida, he and Katie stepped in and were able to adopt that baby girl.
20:16And now Zoe is a part of their family.
20:18It's just an incredible story.
20:19But now everything can change because you have that million-dollar slot on the wall.
20:23Yeah, there it is.
20:24So there's a lot of money up for grabs right now.
20:27And as you know, we're going to start the round with four green balls.
20:30Four free shots at that million.
20:31All right.
20:32Later on, they turn red, and we play them from the same slots that you choose right now.
20:36There are three questions in the middle that can really swing the odds in either direction.
20:40So where would you like to play that first green ball?
20:42All right.
20:43So the first green ball is going to number one.
20:46Number one.
20:47All right.
20:48Drop that in there.
20:51So Zoe was born on January 1st.
20:55I mean, she's everything I could have ever wanted.
20:58She really is.
20:59She's what I wake up every day for.
21:01So this one's for my baby girl at number one.
21:04All right.
21:05Number one.
21:06Hoping for a good skip across the wall into that million.
21:09Yes.
21:09This could take you over $1.2 million.
21:12Drop it.
21:13All right.
21:13Come on, ball.
21:14Let's go.
21:14All the way over $2 million.
21:16Let's go, ball.
21:17Let's go.
21:18Come on.
21:18Go to the right.
21:19Let's see what we need.
21:20All the way over $2 million.
21:23Go to the right.
21:25Go to the right, ball.
21:26Get a kick down to the right.
21:27Go to the right.
21:27Get to the right.
21:28Get to the right.
21:29One more kick.
21:30Come on.
21:31Here we go.
21:31Right here.
21:32Come on right here.
21:34$100,000.
21:35All right.
21:36There we go.
21:37Coming back around.
21:38You have a total of $300,403.
21:40Yes.
21:41Good job, man.
21:42Where would you like to play your next ball?
21:44This next one is going to number three.
21:46All right.
21:46Number three.
21:47Drop it in there.
21:52December 3rd, me and Katie got married.
21:54Um, but she's my best friend.
21:56I mean, those two girls are probably the only thing that mattered to me in this world.
22:00Isn't it really amazing when that happens?
22:02You go, oh, you know, all that other crap I used to worry about.
22:05But it was never, you know.
22:06It was never a big deal.
22:07Exactly.
22:08Yeah.
22:08None of that matters.
22:09This is what matters.
22:10This one's for my wife.
22:12All right.
22:13Play it from number three.
22:14This could take you over $1.3 million.
22:18Drop it.
22:18Come on, darling.
22:19Let's go.
22:20Over to the million.
22:21Come on.
22:21Go that way.
22:22There's money on the board.
22:23Let's put it up.
22:23Come on, boy.
22:24Come on.
22:25Over to the right.
22:25Let's go.
22:26Only over that million dollars.
22:27Come on.
22:27All the way to the right, baby.
22:30All right.
22:30Let's go.
22:31Get to the right.
22:32Keep going to the right.
22:33Go over this way.
22:34Go get to the right.
22:35This way, baby.
22:36That way.
22:36There we go.
22:37Okay.
22:40We're back up to 400.
22:41It's about where we were before the evil super drop.
22:43That's great.
22:44We're going over the wall.
22:45$400,400.
22:46There we go.
22:47Where do you want to play this third ball?
22:49We're gonna go number five.
22:50Okay.
22:51Number five.
22:52Drop it in there.
22:55All right.
22:56Number five.
22:57Much closer to the million than number three.
23:00This could take you over 1.4 million.
23:03All right.
23:03Here we go, ball.
23:04Drop it.
23:05Here we go.
23:06Let's go.
23:07Take it to the right.
23:09Here we go.
23:09Come on.
23:10You can do it.
23:11All the way this way.
23:12Come on.
23:13Get that million dollars done.
23:14Come on.
23:14Here we go.
23:15All the way to the right.
23:16There we go.
23:18Back.
23:18Back.
23:19Back.
23:20Back.
23:21Yes!
23:25200,000.
23:27Very nice.
23:27Very nice.
23:28Your total on the wall right now.
23:32$600,403.
23:34You have a final green ball.
23:35Where do you want to play it?
23:36We'll go number four, Chris.
23:37Number four.
23:38All right.
23:39Let's drop that in.
23:42So, you know, we brought Zoe home in January.
23:45From January until April, we had to wait for our adoption to be finalized.
23:51That must have been a long four months.
23:53Oh, it was.
23:53It was very long.
23:54But everything we've been trying for for ten years finally was made real in April.
23:59We were actually legally a family.
24:02April's a huge month for us.
24:04Beautiful.
24:05So, four is a good number.
24:06Could easily skip down to the million.
24:08Let's see if we can make this 1.6.
24:11Let's go.
24:11Drop it.
24:12Let's go, ball.
24:13Come on.
24:14All the way over to the right.
24:14Come on.
24:15Let's go.
24:15You can do it, ball.
24:16All the way over here.
24:17Get that million dollars for us.
24:19There you go.
24:19Come on, ball.
24:20There we go.
24:20Good job.
24:21Good job.
24:21Oh, yeah.
24:22Come on.
24:22Over to the right.
24:24Over to the right.
24:26Man.
24:28All right.
24:28I'm so sorry.
24:29It's okay.
24:30That was only $10.
24:31But you still have $600,413 on the wall.
24:35That's a lot.
24:35Yes.
24:36And that could go way up, especially the way Katie's answering those questions.
24:39So, as you know, I'm gonna give you the answers first.
24:42Here they come.
24:45Tortellini.
24:47Cannelloni.
24:48Manacotti.
24:49Fusilli.
24:50Based on those.
24:52Where would you like to play that?
24:53All right.
24:54So, we're foodies.
24:54We like to eat.
24:55Katie is part Italian.
24:57Her family actually comes from Italy.
24:59We're gonna go number four.
25:01All right.
25:01Number four.
25:02Right down the middle.
25:05Let's send the question over to Katie.
25:06Come on, baby.
25:12Which of these types of Italian pasta is not traditionally served with some sort of filling in the pasta?
25:19Tortellini.
25:20Cannelloni.
25:21Manacotti.
25:23Fusilli.
25:24Come on, girls.
25:25So, my whole family is Italian.
25:27Exactly.
25:28See?
25:28Um, my grandpa's parents came over from Italy.
25:31Um, we love pasta in my family.
25:34Zoe loves pasta.
25:35Yes, she does.
25:36I am gonna pull out my inner Italian and say that the answer to this question is D.
25:45Misselli, lock it in.
25:47Okay.
25:48All right.
25:48Okay.
25:49Send a great-grandparents here from Italy?
25:51Yes.
25:51Same.
25:51Okay, wow.
25:53Obviously, a lot of pressure riding on this one with the Italian family.
25:56Oh, yes.
25:56And thankfully, that's a correct answer.
25:58Yes!
25:58She is correct.
25:59Green is good.
26:02She's four for four.
26:03Yes, she is.
26:04This could take you over 1.6 million.
26:06Four for four on number four.
26:08Go ahead and drop it.
26:09Let's drop it.
26:09Whoo!
26:10Come on, ball.
26:11Kick over to the right.
26:12Let's go, ball.
26:12You got it.
26:13Come on.
26:14Here we go.
26:14Kick to the right.
26:15Get to the right.
26:16Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:18Get to the right.
26:19There we go.
26:19Come on, baby.
26:20Yo, back to the right.
26:21Get to the right.
26:22Come on.
26:22Come on.
26:26Come on.
26:27Come on.
26:27Yeah, they have $10.
26:29Ugh.
26:29So close.
26:30$10 is just the way it balances, but you still have $600,422 on the wall.
26:35And your guarantee right now is just under $200,000.
26:39Whoo!
26:39Now, this is where it all could change.
26:41Again, the final two questions.
26:43We're gonna have the opportunity to double up, triple up.
26:46Let's see if she can keep the streak going.
26:48She's four for four.
26:49With a massive total up on the wall and millions still up for grabs.
26:53Did you have the opportunity to triple up?
26:55She's been doing so well so far.
26:57Will these two Navy veterans from Florida go home millionaires?
27:00Over to the left.
27:01Go to the left, ball.
27:03Go that way.
27:04Go that way.
27:04No, no, no, no, no.
27:06Oh, get out of there.
27:15Welcome back to The Wild.
27:16I'm out here with Vincent.
27:18And it does not get any bigger than this.
27:19She's got two questions left.
27:21Whoo!
27:21They have $600,422 on the wall.
27:24Millions still within reach.
27:25Katie, his wife, is in the back.
27:27She's answered all four questions correctly so far.
27:29Their guarantee is just under $200,000.
27:31She has no way of knowing where we stand.
27:34And right now, we still have two questions left.
27:36So I'm hoping we can get as much up there
27:38before we do the four red drops.
27:40Here are the answers for the next question.
27:44Tool maker, quarry worker, home builder, stonemason.
27:51So it's question two.
27:53Yep.
27:53You have the opportunity to double up if you feel like it.
27:56You got a lot of money on the wall right now.
27:58Four red balls around the corner.
27:59Doubling up could get you over $2.6 million if it works out,
28:02or it could bring you down to zero.
28:04Okay.
28:05Um, blue-collar workers.
28:07I'm a fireman.
28:07I'm a blue-collar worker, too.
28:09That's what firemen are considered.
28:10So she should know about this.
28:11All her family, growing up, they have all home builders,
28:15home workers, drywall, all that stuff.
28:16So, um...
28:18Play it safe.
28:18I'm gonna go...
28:20I'm gonna go with number four.
28:22I'm gonna put the ball in number four.
28:23Are you gonna single double?
28:24I'm gonna single it up.
28:24Okay.
28:25Single ball number four.
28:26Yep.
28:32Let's send her the question.
28:39Throughout the six seasons of the Flintstones,
28:42what was Fred Flintstone's occupation?
28:44You might know this.
28:45Tool maker, quarry worker, home builder, stonemason.
28:51Dinosaur picking it up, moving it around.
28:53Come on, girl.
28:54I grew up watching the Flintstones.
28:57I even took the little Flintstone vitamins.
29:01Um, but I have not seen the Flintstones in a very long time.
29:06So, I do not believe he was a tool maker.
29:09He was not a home builder, so I'm gonna eliminate
29:12A, tool maker, and C, home builder.
29:15Good job, good job.
29:16Um...
29:17Come on.
29:18My heart's pulling me to stonemason.
29:20Don't do it.
29:21They lived in bedrock, so...
29:24I think it was bedrock.
29:25Uh, so, rocks, stones.
29:29But also, quarry worker is kind of sticking out to me.
29:33Oh, my goodness.
29:34I think I...
29:37Don't know the answer for sure.
29:39Come on.
29:40Um...
29:40The dinosaur.
29:42I'm gonna go with D, stonemason, lock it in.
29:47Okay.
29:49Do you know the answer?
29:51Yeah, yeah.
29:51It's the quarry worker.
29:53I know, yeah.
29:54That was an incorrect answer.
29:55We have to turn that red.
29:56Oh, no.
29:57But I really thought that's where she was going,
29:59because she said, oh, this is sticking out to me.
30:00Yes.
30:00But you played a great strategy by not doubling up.
30:03Yes.
30:03So, one ball from four.
30:05All right.
30:05Let's just get this over with.
30:06Drop it.
30:07Hey, $10 slot.
30:08You love it, so let's keep throwing up here.
30:09Come on, ball.
30:10Low numbers.
30:10I want you to think really low, okay?
30:12Like a one, maybe a ten.
30:14That's all you need to think for, all right?
30:20Come on.
30:22Here we go.
30:22Over to the left.
30:23Over to the left.
30:24Over to the left.
30:25Over to the right.
30:25This way.
30:26This way.
30:27This way.
30:28This way.
30:28Left.
30:29Left.
30:29There we go.
30:30Right in the one.
30:34Oh!
30:34Oh!
30:36300,000.
30:39Lord have mercy.
30:41Man.
30:42That hurt a lot more than just a little sink.
30:45A lot more.
30:46That was a big sting.
30:48300,000.
30:49Almost $23.
30:50So, a lot of money up there.
30:51And this is our final question for this round.
30:56Here come the answers.
30:57Okay.
31:0090 minutes.
31:01Three hours.
31:03Six hours.
31:0512 hours.
31:0512 hours.
31:06You do have the opportunity to triple up.
31:08Tripling up could get you over 3.3 million if it works out.
31:11Or it could take away everything.
31:14You know?
31:15Time.
31:16Everything's time.
31:19Uh...
31:20She's been doing so well so far.
31:22I mean, I don't think I'm going to triple up, Chris.
31:25Okay.
31:25I'm going to play a single ball.
31:26Okay.
31:26I'm going to play a single ball from number six.
31:29Okay.
31:29Single ball from number six.
31:31Let's let it ride, girl.
31:32Me and you.
31:34All right.
31:36This is our final question, but we need to take a quick break.
31:39This question could be worth a million dollars.
31:40We're going to throw it over to Katie when we come back.
31:42This is The Wall on NBC.
31:51Welcome back to The Wall.
31:53If you were just joining us, Vincent has one ball loaded up on six.
31:56This is the last question of the game.
31:58The answers are 90 minutes, three hours, six hours, and 12 hours.
32:03A correct answer could make this the million-dollar question we've been waiting for.
32:07I hope it is.
32:08So let's send the question over to Katie.
32:16Approximately the size of a football field, the International Space Station orbits about
32:21250 miles above Earth.
32:23Around how long does it take the ISS to complete one full orbit?
32:2990 minutes, three hours, six hours, 12 hours.
32:35That's a tough one.
32:37That's a tough one.
32:38Hey.
32:40Oh, I know that there's a lot riding on this question.
32:43Um, but I have no clue.
32:49Uh, you know.
32:50It's in there.
32:51Every now and again, like, when we go outside, we'll see kind of something zoom across the
32:57sky, and we're like, oh, it's a shooting star.
32:58And they're like, no, it's the International Space Station.
33:00Um, or a satellite.
33:02But, so they go really fast.
33:07Um, 90 minutes just seems too fast, though.
33:12Too fast to really make it around the entire Earth.
33:18So I'm gonna eliminate 90 minutes.
33:21Um, three hours, that seems really fast.
33:27Two, 12 hours, that seems, that seems pretty long.
33:34I'm gonna say the answer to this question is C, six hours, lock it in.
33:38Okay.
33:39All right, if she's right, you played one ball from six.
33:41Yep.
33:42You're over some big amounts there.
33:43Uh, the correct answer, 90 minutes.
33:4790 minutes.
33:48How do they not get dizzy up there?
33:50I have no idea.
33:52They see 16 sunrises a day.
33:54Yes.
33:54You know, just going around the Earth that fast.
33:56Ugh, it's okay.
33:57Uh, very tough question.
33:58Yes.
33:58That's okay, you did not triple up.
33:59Nope.
33:59You played one ball.
34:01So let's just get through it quickly.
34:03Go ahead and drop it.
34:04Go this way to the left, all right?
34:05Please go to the left, ball.
34:07One of ten.
34:07That's all we need.
34:08Even a hundred.
34:08Let's take a hundred.
34:09I mean, anything but the big numbers, ball.
34:11Anything but those numbers.
34:14All right.
34:14Go to the left, ball.
34:15The wrong left.
34:16That is the wrong left.
34:18Okay.
34:19Go that way.
34:20Go that way.
34:21Go that way.
34:21Oh, get out of there.
34:22One more.
34:23One more.
34:23One more.
34:24One more.
34:24One more.
34:25One more.
34:28That was a big one.
34:29Not the million, but $500,000.
34:31I'm so sorry.
34:33Mmm.
34:34So sorry.
34:35Can I, uh, okay?
34:35Thanks, Chris.
34:36I definitely need that one, buddy.
34:37That happens sometimes, so there's just nothing we can do about it.
34:41That is going to take away the $300,423.
34:44That's going to take you down to zero, and we're not going to drop the four reds.
34:48Yes.
34:49And now it's deliberation time.
34:51She's got a really tough choice to make.
34:53Yes.
34:53She doesn't know what's out here on the wall right now.
34:55She has no way of knowing what that is.
34:56So I have this contract.
34:58It's right here in this canister.
35:00Everyone who plays this game has a chance to leave here with guaranteed money.
35:02Yes.
35:02So let's talk about what that was for you.
35:04Okay.
35:05Your freefall amount was $115,302.
35:08Katie got four questions right, so 23.
35:11To those, that's an extra $80,000 added to your guarantee.
35:16$195,302 if she signed the contract.
35:19If she tears it up, obviously her intention would be for you and the family and to try to go
35:24big.
35:25Yes.
35:25Unfortunately today, we just got some really crappy bounces.
35:30Yes.
35:30You know, every time she got a right answer, it went into a low amount.
35:33Yes.
35:34The two, only two questions she missed went in huge amounts.
35:38Yes.
35:38There's nothing we can do about that.
35:40You know, we're going to bring her up on the wall.
35:42She can't see or hear you, but you can talk to her.
35:45Six figures, it's just, it's a really tough decision.
35:47I'm glad I don't have to make it, but just say what you would like to say, and then I'll
35:51send this contract to her.
35:53Katie, you did amazing.
35:56I told you you're the smartest person I know, and you've done so well in this game.
36:00The balls just didn't work for us today.
36:04So, we need you to sign that contract because there's nothing out here, girl.
36:08I love you.
36:09All right.
36:10There it goes.
36:12It's all going to be in Katie's hands.
36:14She has the contract.
36:15You can't do anything else.
36:16We're going to cut the feed off so she can make this huge decision in private.
36:20We'll find out very shortly because we're going to skip the four red balls what that decision was.
36:26I know we ended freefall with $115,000.
36:31And I probably got two questions right, three possibly, which is a really nice chunk of change for Zoe.
36:44Pay for her college funds, give her the opportunity to go to college, something that Vince and I never got.
36:58I just think about all the things that we've already been through.
37:03And if I sign this contract and there's a million dollars on the wall, I'm potentially basically signing away the
37:14ability to give her an even better life.
37:35This is really hard.
37:38Coming up, if you tore up the contract, you're risking for whatever was left on the wall.
37:44Will these two Navy veterans whose miracle adoption saved a life and started their family walk away with almost $200
37:50,000?
37:51Struggled for so long. And then now we have this little miracle baby.
37:56And the only thing we've ever wanted was to give her the best life possible.
38:01And the decision that I made was...
38:12Welcome back to The Wall. I'm out here with Vincent.
38:14And we're just waiting to see, you know, if Katie's made the decision yet.
38:18It's not a decision I envy to have to make. And I hear it.
38:24There it is.
38:25Now it's done. Now we just have to find out what happened and how it all played out.
38:30So, Katie, please come back out.
38:33Welcome back.
38:35How are you feeling?
38:37Um, I'm still really nervous that I didn't make the right decision.
38:40But, um, I'm glad it's...it's...it's done.
38:44Whatever you decided to do, I know you had your family first in mind.
38:47It's never going to be a wrong decision.
38:49And I want to thank you.
38:50Vincent and I had such a great time out here.
38:52I love this guy.
38:53He's a first responder, a firefighter, works with a special unit for disasters, you know.
38:58And then watching you up there, how many questions do you think you got right?
39:02Maybe two.
39:03You got four answers right. No way!
39:05Yes, you really did. Are you serious?
39:06You got four answers right. So, you just crushed it with the trivia back there.
39:11I'm going to give you 20 grand for each one of those correct answers.
39:13$80,000 on top of your $115,000 guarantee, which means if you sign the contract, it was worth $195
39:20,302.
39:21If you tore it up, you're risking for whatever was left on the wall, which you don't know.
39:26So, I'm going to bring you over here to Vincent.
39:29And, uh, you'll go first and tell him what you decided.
39:33Hey!
39:34Hey.
39:37Um, I just wanted to do what I thought was the best.
39:42Um, for our family and for Zoe, you know, we struggled for so long financially and emotionally going through fertility
39:52treatments.
39:54And then now we have this little miracle baby.
39:57And the only thing we've ever wanted was to give her the best life possible.
40:02So, I was thinking, if I signed the contract, then, yeah, we wouldn't be able to pay off the rest
40:09of our adoption debt or buy a family car, but at least she'd be able to go to college.
40:15But then I was thinking, I was thinking, like, what if there was a million dollars on the wall?
40:24It was really, really a hard decision to make.
40:27It was, it was felt impossible.
40:32Um, so, I just hope I made the right decision.
40:39And the decision that I made was, I signed the contract.
40:52You know, you've always been the logical thinker.
40:59And because of your logical thinking, we get to give Zoe the head start, the life that we wanted.
41:06Because at the end of the game, there was not that on the wall.
41:11You made the right decision!
41:13You're going home with $195,302.
41:17I mean, I gotta say, first of all, I love you both.
41:20I love your story.
41:21America, I know, loves your story.
41:23You have to be made of stone to not be moved by what we've experienced today.
41:29And I know that with Zoe, no matter what happens today, you've already won.
41:33And Zoe's already won with you.
41:35But, it is also nice that you get to go in with $195,302.
41:40Thank you so much for watching.
41:42We hope this, this show made your day a little bit better.
41:47And high fives to all the girl dads out there.
41:49I see you, I love you.
41:50Have a great night.
41:54$195,302.
41:56Awesome.
42:04We'll see you next time.
42:05We'll see you next time.
42:07Bye.
42:08Bye.
42:14Bye.
42:25Bye.
42:26Bye.
42:30Bye.
42:33Bye.
42:35Bye.
