The Amazing Race (2001) s33e09 Episode Script
Rock Bottom
Previously onThe Amazing Race,
five teams raced
to Thessaloníki, Greece.
Raquel got wrapped up
at the Roadblock.
There's a lot I have to redo.
It really is very confusing
as to what exactly
she's looking for.
Doesn't make any sense
to me, to be honest.
Arun and Natalia were lost
for words.
The dish of the day is
the souvlaki,
-but first you must spell it.
-"Schulaki."
X-U-P
No.
S-C-H-U-L-A-K-I?
No. Try again.
At a second Roadblock,
Penn flexed
his powerful memory
I was
making a personal CliffNote
in my head.
-Correct.
-Yes! Come on! Sorry. It's
giving the married couple
their third win in a row.
You are team number one.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, a series
of costly mistakes
This is a park.
-It's not in a park.
-Maybe it is in a park.
-What are we missing here?
-I don't understand.
Oh, my God, I feel so dumb!
led to a tearful goodbye
for Lulu and Lala.
You are the last team
to arrive, and you have been
-eliminated from the race.
-After everything, thank you.
I do have some, uh, interesting
news for you. You will be
staying in Greece tonight.
You guys get to choose
-which hotel you stay in.
-Really?
You will be booking
your accommodation
using the fast and easy
Travelocity mobile app.
Let's book our room through
the Travelocity app.
Yeah, use the Travelocity app.
"Search hotels."
-Whoa.
-Oh, that one looks good.
A couple Greek gods need
a real nice place
to rest these old bones.
"Swipe to purchase."
-We got a nice room.
-We're staying in Greece.
What a day.
Kim and Penn
and Raquel and Cayla
will depart first at 9:00 a.m.
"Route Info."
"Drive yourself to the
Forest Theatre in Thessaloníki."
"And search for your next clue."
Teams must drive 30 miles north
to Greece's second
largest city--
Thessaloníki-- an ancient city
dating back 24 centuries
and named after
Alexander the Great's sister.
They'll find their next clue
here-- Theatro Dassous,
where stones
are taking center stage.
-Go.
-Go.
We are down
to just four teams, which
-is a little nerve-racking.
-Yeah.
It just means
that there's so little room
for error
at this point in the race.
-Oh, this one?
-Yup.
We're still living off the high
of being in last,
-coming in second.
-Yeah.
So, we're, uh
we're feeling pretty good
-going into today.
-Yeah.
Buckle up.
I think we're getting
so much better and better.
I think, leg by leg,
we're learning. We're learning
from our mistakes,
we're getting stronger.
Which way should I go
when I get out of here?
So, that I actually don't know.
But we haven't won a leg yet.
I know, maybe today's our day.
-Love it.
-It would be great.
-It would be awesome. Yeah.
-Any time now.
I'm looking for signs to
Thessaloníki. That's all, right?
Is there a map
in the front seat at all?
-Yup.
-Oh.
Um
I am doing the best I can.
The map doesn't even have our
current city on it, so we are
This is the definition
of doing the best I can.
"I'm doing the best I can"
-is sort of our family motto.
-Yup.
It is my belief
that most people you encounter
are doing their very best.
Anxiety is something
that I've battled, and on
at a race like this, it's really
just put under the microscope.
So, Penn and I know,
as partners,
I might get frustrated,
but he knows that,
at the end of the day,
I'm doing the best I can.
Correct.
All right, what do we got?
Route Info here.
-All right, let's go.
-Oh, let's go.
Today, leg nine, leaving
in the second group again.
Let's roll, buddy.
We're realizing that
that early start
plays a tremendous amount
on how you can finish, and so,
it's a little deterring
that we're not there, but, uh,
I think to get back
into the top group today,
we just need to run
a flawless leg. We are where
the Greek gods come from,
so I'm hoping
that something's presented
to where our strengths
can be put on display.
Always confident on navigation.
My boy back here
is literally a Garmin.
Oh, this is a map
of Thessaloníki,
so we just need to figure out
how to get there first.
Natalia,
Natalia, I don't see
any sign. Dah-dah.
He's been really impressing me.
Like, for some of the physical
challenges, I'm like,
"I'm not sure
if he's gonna do it."
And he's, like, passing people
and just killing it.
So, he's been impressing me
so much during this race.
With only four teams left,
we have one-in-four chance
to make it to the finals,
with all the teams
extremely strong,
so we just have
to bring the best game possible.
- We are not going anywhere.
- We'll be here.
Navigating in Greece
has definitely
been a little bit harder, uh,
compared to when we were
more in, like, the city center
just because, um,
there's not many signs
when you're in the countryside.
We want to make sure
that we are not getting lost.
Ring Road.
Ring Road Highway. See?
-Ring Road. Here.
-Ring Road, yeah.
-We're going the right way,
baby.
-Oh, good. Are you, like,
-on the map now? Sweet.
-Yeah, we're on the map.
Exits and entrances to the city.
Okay, this is a sign,
but I have no idea
-what that says.
-I don't know what it says
either, but
We just don't want
to make the same mistake
twice like
we did in Switzerland.
Or what's up
what's up there, honey?
-You want me to go up there?
-Yeah. Theatre.
-Forest Theatre.
-Forest Theatre. Holy moly.
How did we find this?
Yeah, let's do this.
Oh, it's
like an outdoor theater.
Yeah. Clue box.
- Sweet!
- Okay, babe.
-"Roadblock." Okay.
-"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
Teams must now go on a search,
leaving no stone unturned
as they follow
the Oracle of Delphi,
exploring all possibilities
to achieve a goal.
In this case, a Roadblock.
Hidden under four of these
stones is a gold coin,
which they'll need to present
to the Oracle to get a clue.
-That's me.
-That's Kim.
You're a good looker.
You're good looking.
Okay.
Oh, my God, it's beautiful.
Look at this. Oh, you see
-the Oracle, babe?
-I do. She's beautiful.
Oh, my God.
Leave no stone unturned.
- You got it, baby.
- There are thousands
of rocks here.
I walk in and see this stage
covered with 5,000 stones.
Just a sea of stones.
Immediately I was overwhelmed.
Only strategy is
attacking one section at a time
to make sure
I'm not missing anything.
It was a semicircle--
the stage,
so it was kind of going in
a pie shape.
I was trying
to create little landmarks
on the stage of areas
where I was like,
"Okay, I've done.
I've done this row."
I'm gonna kind of go this way.
If we're the first team here,
logically,
we have better odds.
You find the first coin,
you make it even harder
for the team behind you
to find the coin.
If the last team has
to find one rock,
that's just mean,
if that's the case.
Listen to the relaxing music.
Yeah, it's like I'm in a spa,
but this is the worst spa ever.
-We're in the right place,
right?
-Yes.
-This is an actual task?
This is not a nightmare?
-Yes.
You're doing awesome.
There's a lot of rocks.
It's gonna take time.
It's gonna be hard
for everybody. I promise.
You're doing great.
I know it doesn't feel like it,
but you're doing awesome.
Keep on looking.
Our goals
for this leg are
to get back in first place.
- We have Thessaloníki.
- Thessaloníki.
- Hell yeah, dude.
- So, is it, right, that?
-I think we need to turn left.
-Right here.
Navigation is so important.
We don't want to lose time
in getting lost.
- Oh. Agios Pavlos.
- Where?
-Keep going straight.
-Where straight?
-Straight, straight.
Keep going straight.
-Right or left?
-This way? Huh?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, straight.
Do you see Agios Pavlos?
-I'm doing a left or right,
straight?
-Left. Left.
-Yeah. Natalia, please.
-Left. Left. All right.
Are you?
I'm sorry. Left.
So far,
their road signs
are not in English.
Oh, it's a lot of Greek writing.
A lot of it.
900 meters.
800, which I don't know
how long that is.
Hopefully we're
in a good standing right now.
I'm assuming
we're either one or two.
Last time I tried to figure out
where our teams were,
we were blatantly wrong.
We saw Lulu and Lala
getting so lost
can be a major downfall,
so I will cheer every time
when I see something
that we're supposed to see.
I mean, we're in a very
old city. I mean,
I'm imagining this city has been
around for thousands of years.
And there are
minimal street signs.
No one really speaks English.
Everything kind of
looks the same.
This is not right.
This is not right.
We got to turn around.
-Can I get off here?
-Um
I don't know
which way to go, babe.
How do we turn back around?
Okay.
Man, I'm so lost.
This is not right.
This is not right.
We need to go back north.
So, hey, just relax. We're
-I got this.
-I'm relaxed. I'm good.
I'm good.
We're fine. So we just need
to turn back around.
I'm just gonna get off here.
That would be wonderful.
Can we ask this person?
Sir, Theatro Dassous?
-Oh.
-Oh, it is right here?
Thank you. Okay.
We got very lucky.
It's like we never even
messed it up to begin with.
I'm looking for a gold coin.
And I thought
it would be very obvious,
but now I'm thinking that
it's not gonna be so obvious.
We are in an ancient Greek
theater in the land of the gods,
and it's probably a good time
to start praying to them.
My back is starting to hurt.
-Here's the parking. Okay.
-Great job. Okay.
Here we go.
Okay.
"Who will leave"
"No stone unturned?"
-Do you think they're heavy?
-I'll do it.
Here comes somebody.
Leave no stone unturned.
No stone unturned.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to hell.
You got it, Raquel.
This is your challenge.
I have no idea
what this gold coin looks like.
I would imagine
it would stick out at least.
- Look, look. Clue box. Clue box.
- Come on, dude.
I see it. Let's go.
"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
You, maybe.
I got it. I'm gonna do it.
Leave no stone unturned.
Leave no stone unturned.
There are the boys. Damn.
I am currently looking
for a gold coin
on the bottom of a stone.
I was trying to search in zones,
and then
my friends here showed up
and squatted in my zones.
Haven't looked over here,
but I'm pretty sure
other people have.
Oh, this is so frustrating.
Oh, my God, dude. This is nuts.
There it is.
"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
-Think you should do it. Yeah.
-Okay, I'll do it.
- Leave no stone unturned.
- Oh, holy cow.
Hello, everyone.
Got to the place,
and we seen all the teams.
I said, "God, good."
They were struggling,
so I thought this was the chance
that I can pick up some time.
You got this, Dad!
Do it for Mom, Dad!
Hopefully get lucky.
I don't know.
When I first started
the challenge,
I did have a strategy.
I thought I'll start
with the outer circle.
And then go
to the inner circles.
But the problem-- what happened
is, when I was trying to,
there was already people in the
way, the path I wanted to go,
so I had to change the strategy
a little bit.
This is a challenge,
you definitely need patience,
and I knew that he was just
not gonna freak out,
he was gonna stay calm.
This is my time to show up.
Leave no stone unturned.
This is just one of those tasks
that tests you mentally.
Don't suppose you want
to tell me where it is. No?
You do you.
Keep your cool.
Trying to look in places
that seem more inconspicuous.
There's, like, that sound effect
when you screw up something
on The Amazing Race.
They go like
And, like, and they show,
it's, like, very obvious
what you're missing.
I'll have picked it up
and be like, "I don't know
where it is," and it'll have
like, be on the bottom,
and I'll put it down.
This is tough. I mean, I don't
really know if there's
any real strategy to this.
This is, like,
12 self-drives and
a bungee jump rolled into one.
If I weren't in a race,
I would say this is meditative.
I'm in a race,
and it's panic-inducing.
This is quite torturous.
Raquel, I'll give you
a back massage when we're done.
Dusty, I won't.
I need my gold!
Where is my gold?
Will you guys forward my mail?
- Huh.
- I might be here a while.
- Keep it up, baby.
- You're doing great.
Just keep looking.
- You guys having fun yet?
- Oh, God.
I should have prayed today,
but I didn't.
I did pray.
Good for you, then.
I think we're all kind of
in the same position.
This is the great equalizer.
Help me, help me, help me.
Just got to be patient,
keep your head in it.
So, I meditate every morning.
I feel like this time around,
meditation has absolutely
changed me on this race
'cause I'm just
so much more calm,
I'm more present in the moment.
It's, like, it feels so good.
I need some of your good juju.
You let me take in your
good energy. Find the stone.
Channel. I'm gonna channel
that energy.
I burn Nag Champa at home.
I'm giving you all my patience,
my positive vibes.
I'm thinking
it's something we're missing.
Not a single person
has found anything yet?
I'm starting to lose it.
The wheels are, uh, coming off.
Fire. Ooh, ooh.
I felt good because
Dusty was losing his patience.
So I-I knew this is a challenge
where you have to have patience.
I mean,
if you don't have patience
and you're just crisscrossing,
you'll never find it.
Picking up stones,
setting down stones,
picking more stones up.
You got it.
Just keep trying, babe.
Process of elimination,
we have we've been
everywhere. Like
All four of us, I mean,
in an hour, turning over
every stone,
turning over
the same stone multiple times.
It's like, we couldn't even find
a single gold coin.
And it's just,
you feel hopeless.
Such a vast amount
of stones to turn over, and
just, after every one, my gloves
are tearing,
my knees are bleeding.
-This is like watching
a horror movie.
-I know.
Where?
We've all been through here,
I feel like.
I mean
let's narrow this down.
I-I swear to God,
I've been through every section.
-Me, too.
-And I have touched every rock.
Everything has
to have been flipped over,
you would assume.
They're going over
the same rocks now.
Raquel is right where Dusty just
was for the past 30 minutes.
The Oracle-- I need you.
Give me your powers.
It feels like
I've been here for three years.
And it could be anywhere.
Oh!
You found it?
- Wow.
- No way.
Here is your treasure.
- Let's go!
- Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I was the first one.
-I was like, "Thank you."
-I was like, "Aah!"
Good luck! Good luck, good
Oh!
Route Info. All right, let's go.
Come on.
-Come on, come on, come
on, come on.
-Okay, okay, okay.
"Find Socrates
at the Trigonion Tower.
Listen to his words of wisdom
to receive your next clue."
Okay, all right.
At least we know
it's here, guys.
Of course I wanted it to be me,
but the fact that Raquel
found one, I'm like,
"Oh, they are here.
They're here."
I'm sure
I touched the one she had.
I'm sure I touched it.
I found that first! Yes!
Oh, Trigonion Tower. Nine.
-You found it?
-Yes.
It's literally directly south
from here. Nine.
You got this, Dad!
Thank you, Natalia.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, I wish I could tag in,
man. I wish I could.
Holy crap! I found it.
Are you kidding me, Kim?
Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Good job.
Wow.
-It was terrible.
-I know.
- Let's get the out of here.
- Okay, let's go.
Kim found the coin.
That's what happened.
They have searched those areas
so many times.
Oh, God. Prayers.
You got this, Dad.
- This is crazy, man.
- You'll get it, man.
-I'd be going crazy, too.
-There's nothing
I can do about it,
man, just keep
turning these things.
Come on, gold coin!
Where are you?
Come on, gold coin!
Where are you?
I just need to pray for a bit.
You got this, Dad!
Yes!
Good job.
Oh.
Not good.
Here is your treasure.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job, buddy.
And there's one left, man.
This is ridiculous.
What am I doing here?
Come on, coin.
As you see the other teams
find them, and you know
that you're the last man
in the trenches,
and there's a whole field
of stones,
I mean, I was crushed.
Where have I not looked?
We're going
to the Trigonion Tower
to find Socrates.
-Okay, I see it on the map.
-Hmm.
This is not how I expected
to go out, bro.
"Trignon" Tower.
- That what we're looking for?
- Yeah, Trigonion Tower.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, yeah.
-Look at how pretty this is.
-Oh, my God.
-It looks so old.
-This is beautiful.
I'm just gonna park
right here, okay?
Okay, just go.
Right?
Right there.
"Listen to his words of wisdom
to receive your next clue."
-Hi. Hi.
-Socrates.
Okay.
He, like, leaned forward,
and his eyes got really big,
and he's, like, looking
into your soul, so it was
kind of, like, for a moment,
I'm like, "Just spit it out."
Thank you
"Detour."
This detour requires teams
to deliver plates
with tender, loving care, or
smash 'em to smithereens,
something the Greeks do
to celebrate joy and happiness.
For those choosing
to deliver plates,
they must safely carry 300
of them up this hill
to Café Jasmine.
Once there, the restaurant owner
will break out their next clue.
Teams that choose
to break plates
must smash
through a pile of them,
but only
when the band is playing.
Until they find one
with a clue inside--
the name of their next Pit Stop.
Break 'Em.
Oh, look, look.
Good job, guys.
- Good job, guys.
- Oh, thanks.
You topped us.
Is this Socrates up here?
Socrates.
You're a Socrates?
There's only
one good knowledge?
Thank you!
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Appreciate it.
-I'm a big fan of your work.
-Yeah.
Yeah. You, too, you guys.
-We're smashing.
-Are you sure?
I have a lot of rage
I'd like to smash.
Let's do it.
We're smashing plates.
Okay.
All right.
Regroup, Dusty.
What I'd do to try
to make cheese again.
What I would do
to try to make cheese again.
Be peaceful, man.
I'm getting close.
I can feel it.
We have to park off
off of Eptapyrgio Street
between First High School
and the northeast side
of the Heptapyrgion
of Thessalonica.
Nat,
I didn't understand one word.
You're speaking in Greek
or what? Ha, ha, ha.
-All right, Dad, let's focus
on getting to it.
-No, I know.
But I'm focusing on the thing.
First stop sign,
-it said.
-Yeah.
-What?
-Akrita? Café Jasmine.
-We're here.
-Café Jasmine?
Yeah, this is it.
- Hey! We made it.
- Hi!
How are you?
-Okay.
-Limoncello?
"Choose a plate-smashing
station.
Once chosen,
you may not switch."
Okay. "You may only smash plates
when the band is playing.
Alternate turns
smashing plates."
We could only do it
while the band was playing.
If we smashed them
while the band stopped
well, that was a no-no.
One at a time, right? One.
-One, plate two.
-Two.
In evaluating how can we best
handle this, I was like,
"Okay, I'm gonna say 'one,'
you say 'two,'
and we're gonna have a rhythm."
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One.
-Two. Stop.
-This is fun.
-This is so fun.
This is therapeutic.
- Smash something? Yes.
- Like, we just honestly,
at that point, wanted something
-therapeutic,
and so we were like, "Ugh!"
-Yeah.
-It was, like, the most fun.
-Felt great.
-Could the clue have been,
like..?
-Well, if we have to,
I will then put my gloves on,
and we will search through.
Yeah, we will search it, okay.
Thank you.
Okay, it's got to be over here
somewhere.
- You got it, dude.
- Come on.
I just want to scream
at the top of my lungs.
I know, I know.
Certain challenges are no joke.
I thought I had strategy
at the beginning, but once
you turn over 2,000
of 5,000 stones,
you kind of lose place,
where you're at,
and it's just,
you feel hopeless.
It's got to be in this area,
man. It's got to be over here.
All I could think about was "I'm
gonna lose this for our team."
A lot of anger started building,
uh, and, you know,
it was bad.
Ready, go.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
Cut myself.
-Are you okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Alternate
between different stacks,
so we can go through.
Look at the bottom like this,
like how I'm doing it.
I was like, "Let's make sure we
flip it over and then smash it,
still do it fast-paced."
'Cause you never know
where the clues are gonna be,
right? I mean, it can be inside
-the plate.
-She's still in the mindset
of flipping over stones.
-She's like,
"Let's flip over 300 plates"
-Yeah. I don't know.
-"before we split."
-I'd rather be thorough
'cause I have learned
the hard way in this race
that if you're not thorough
and pay attention
to the details, you could
-it could really set you back.
-Yeah.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Oh, there it is. Okay?
-Get it.
-Oh, that's it. White Tower.
-Okay, grab all the
-Okay.
This is White Tower,
which got its name back in 1891
when someone painted it white.
It's now a symbol
of Thessaloníki
and, today, the Pit Stop
for this leg of the race,
where Greek philosopher
Diogenes, the Cynic,
will be waiting to greet them.
The last team to check in here
may be eliminated.
All right, let's go down.
I see plates.
I see a band.
This has got to be it.
So, now we smash.
And-and look for a clue.
Hey!
-Yeah.
-Hey! Hey!
Hey!
- Oh.
- Stop.
This is like
really weird musical chairs.
-You guys are good.
-You guys are great.
Can't wait to come back and
never do this again.
Knees, don't fail me.
- We see the White Tower.
- We're gonna cross
so we don't have
to dodge all these people.
Here we go, final stretch.
Ah, Phil!
Yes!
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
We have two ears
and one tongue so that
we'd listen more and speak less.
-I like that.
-Thank you.
- I got one for you.
- Okay.
You are team number one.
We did it!
-Oh, my God.
-I'm sorry.
-We won!
-Oh, Lord!
- Oh, God.
- And I have some
great news for you.
As the winners
of this leg of the race,
you have won a trip for two
from Travelocity,
and you are going to Kauai.
You're gonna stay six nights
at the Sheraton Kauai
Coconut Beach Resort
in an ocean view room.
Enjoy a helicopter tour of the
Napali Coast and Waimea Valley,
a Luau Makaiwa,
and private chef's
poolside dinner for two.
You can enjoy yourselves.
Congratulations. This is the end
- of the ninth leg of this race.
- Thank you.
Finally!
Ah, are you happy?
-Yes.
-Oh, okay.
-I'm so proud of us!
-Maybe just a little bit?
-I'm so proud of ourselves.
-You should be proud.
We are gonna be the fourth
all-female team to win
The Amazing Race.
Mark our words.
This is my kryptonite.
I thought it was being confined
in tight spaces.
I guess it's turning stones.
-I'm losing, dude.
-What's the point, right?
I'm so angry.
Oh, Dusty, come on, baby.
Keep it together.
Don't let 'em win.
Oh, Dusty
-Hey! Hey! Hey!
-I can do this all day long.
Hey!
Can I be honest?
It feels better if you yell
-"Hey!" after each of 'em.
-Not doing it.
Okay. Opa?
I'm fresh out of patience.
I needed to smash some things.
It felt good.
One of my very dear friends
got married in Santorini, and
there was a time that they
they-they had the plates,
and they let us smash 'em.
So I have done that before, but
the way I was smashing today--
there was a lot of rage.
Less celebratory and more rage.
Two, one.
-Ah, I got it!
-You got it? Where?
Oh.
-"White Tower." Well done.
-Okay.
You have to park
off Eptapyrgiou Street
between First High School
and northeast side
of the Heptapyrgion
of Thessalonica.
What are we entering?
Hmm? Did we miss it?
Yeah, I think
we have to keep going up.
- Keep going which up?
- By the florist.
Ah.
- Yeah.
- Can you just turn around
-and go the other direction?
-Yeah, I'm just
I'm trying to.
Where do you want me to turn?
'Cause most of them have
U-turns. Uh
How is it so hard to find this?
Oh. That was a day, Phil.
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
We have two ears and one tongue
so that we'd listen more
and speak less.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
I'm pleased to tell you
you're team number two.
Yes! Yes.
There will be
three departure times
on the next leg of the race.
You will be leaving second.
Just let 'em see you be
peaceful, man.
-That's the only thing
that matters.
-I'm not gonna let it beat me.
-I've been all over, dude.
-I know you have, man.
Everybody had and didn't
find anything. It just
-Please hit me with lightning!
-It's designed
to spin someone out.
Don't let it do it to you.
Please, please be in here.
Should come up here
and take a look, man.
It's real pretty.
Take a rest.
Take a breather.
Just enjoy the breeze.
Take a breath.
Good thing is,
there's always more beautiful
things on the other side, man.
Ryan's you know,
he's talking to me,
trying to coax me down a bit.
Don't mess yourself up.
You're doing good, man.
Literally, you can't do
any better than you're doing.
I just don't know
where to start, dude.
Just enjoy this.
I think what really helped
and stopped me from blowing
the gasket was he asked me
to come up to the top
of the theater with him.
And he was like,
"Man, let's just take a look
and realize where we're at."
It's something
that I've worked on a lot
over the last few years
is my anger.
I've had a temper
as a younger man.
Um, and it almost brought out
a real bad side of me.
And, uh, you know,
I just kept thinking,
"I don't want my son
to see me act like this."
So I swallowed my--
I don't want to call it pride--
but the anger. I had to just,
you know,
let the pressure valve release.
What-Whatever happens today--
it's
This has been an incredible
journey with my buddy. Um,
I've just put so much into this,
but I'm gonna keep looking.
It's just, I didn't think this
would be what got me, man.
I definitely didn't think
this would be what got me.
But that's the race.
I've watched enough of it.
I'm a student of the game.
These things can get you, and
this may be the one that got me.
Myles, buddy, I love you, dude.
I tried.
Breathe, Dusty. Breathe.
"No stone unturned."
Oh, boy. I just don't know
where to go!
Oracle, help me out here.
All the wisdom in the world
won't help you with this .
I mean, I tell you.
Now, if I were a gold coin,
where would I put myself?
Oh, my. Yeah! Yes!
Yes! Yes!
-Here is your treasure.
-Oh, it's a treasure, all right.
Yeah!
I wanted to give up, buddy,
but I didn't.
- Oh.
- Let's roll.
Yeah, we got to sprint, bud.
Oh, there's a marked parking.
-I see it.
-Where do you see it?
-Right. To your right,
to your right.
-Yeah.
-Where the white car is.
-Nat, you have to tell me
-right or left. Come on.
-To the right.
-How many times have I told you?
-Right. To the right.
-Right. To the right.
On this street, yeah.
-Park here.
-You've got
to stop doing this, okay?
-I said, to the right.
I had to yell at Natalia
a couple of times.
Why, though?
I don't understand.
Like, I was like,
"The parking spot's
on the right,"
and you're, like, freaking out.
You're like,
"Give me clearer directions."
And I'm like,
"It's on the right,
to the right."
-Okay, hurry up. Come on.
-Okay.
We need to find
Trigonion Tower?
I feel like
I got my second wind.
It may be a real slow wind.
- My fingers are destroyed.
- Okay.
My legs are destroyed. My back.
I mean, I feel like I'm 80,
but we're gonna get it done.
-You got her?
-Yeah, I think so, actually.
Sweet. Hell yeah, man.
-This might not be it.
-Huh?
Is this not it?
You're just running around
without any clue.
-Do we go up here?
-Yeah.
You are just running,
like, with no direction.
Yeah, and we ran in a circle.
This is where we started.
We lost our way.
We're just wasting time
for no reason.
Dusty and Ryan could
have passed us.
They could have found the stone
right after us, so
-Then-then we-we feel that
we're in the last place now.
-Yeah.
What if we get there, there's
still people doing something?
The good thing is, I think
we got good directions
and we're making good time.
Why are you going that way?
There's a path here.
Just concentrate.
We can't be fighting right now.
Yeah. Nat, look at the clue.
"Listen to Socrates
for your next clue."
There is only one good--
knowledge--
and one evil-- ignorance.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Oh, thank you.
Detour.
We're gonna do Break 'Em.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
We wasted our time.
- This way?
- There's, like, no restaurants.
Are you freaking kidding me?
It's, like, deserted here.
What do we got over here?
-Yep, I see it.
-Nice.
My man figured it out.
-Socrates.
-Socrates, please.
There is only one good--
knowledge--
and one evil-- ignorance.
I agree.
-Thank you, sir. 100%.
-Thank you, sir.
We appreciate you.
Yeah, let's go
smash some stuff, man.
I want to smash
everything around me.
That's all you've been wanting
to
Revenge, for sure. 100%.
Can you give me direction?
"Chinari" Square is down?
-It's down? Okay.
-Down, down.
Okay, and then Akrita is down?
-Down.
-Okay, Akrita.
Okay, let's go.
Hey!
- Yes.
- This looks really nice.
- This looks café-y.
- Café-y.
We feel like
we're in a café area.
This is beautiful.
We're gonna hit pay dirt here
real soon.
-The music.
-Okay.
"Choose a plate-smashing
station." Right here.
- Alternate, correct?
- Yeah.
- What are we looking?
- Break it properly.
You're not breaking it fully.
Who cares about that?
Just go.
You got to break it here.
Keep going, keep going.
We got to make sure, like,
we're breaking it fully,
so that we don't
miss any of the clues.
Nat, you're not
breaking the pieces.
Hit it flat like this.
Oh, my God, I got it.
Yes, yes!
Good job, Natalia!
-That's it. White Tower, okay?
-That's it. Okay.
Let's go.
My knee is buckling, okay?
Get on the sidewalk.
Dusty.
Is that Jasmine? Oh, yeah.
Hiyo!
Let's go.
Look for, uh, the clue.
Opa!
That one works.
This is very soothing.
So, this is a great way
to release my aggression.
Yeah.
Hit 'em on the side.
They go everywhere.
We found it. We're headed
to the White Tower!
Which way to the water?
- That was awesome.
- Thank you.
Let's go.
We could be in last right now,
but we're just
gonna keep running.
We know where we're going,
hopefully.
Hopefully it's the Pit Stop.
Let's go.
Watch it.
Thank-thank you.
- Come on, Dad.
- I hit my knee on a rock.
- Are you okay?
- My knee is buckling.
Light jog, light jog.
Pace ourselves.
Come on.
We got a new friend.
-What's up, bro?
-Yeah, man.
Yeah!
Lead us to the White Tower.
Let's go!
Let's hope we're running
in the right direction.
- Come on, Nat.
- You got to do it for Mom.
Aah!
-White Tower, let's go, dude.
-We're
We're following, uh,
Scruffleupagus.
- Yeah.
- Taking us to the White Tower.
See you, buddy.
- This is a nightmare.
- Yeah.
It could be anybody's race.
-That one there.
-Oh, okay, okay.
We got to hustle.
Hey, right here, Ryan. Ryan.
I see something
that looks like a tower.
There it is, bud.
Oh, that's it.
Come on!
Come on.
This way. Good call, good call.
- The White Tower ahead.
- We got to go quick. Come on.
- Here we go.
- Okay, let's go.
There it is, baby.
Let's go, baby. Yeah!
Dad, let's go!
Detroit is here!
Yes.
- Phil.
- Mr. Phil.
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
What kind of a day have you had?
We had a decent day
- till we get to
turning the rocks.
- Yeah.
- But I'm not too sure.
- We haven't seen Ryan and Dusty,
so I think we might
be still in third place.
- You-you agree?
- Agree?
- Yes.
- Okay. Congratulations.
- You're team number three.
Team number three
is a good finish.
-That matches your best finish
so far, correct?
-Yeah.
-Yep. Yep.
-That's in leg two.
-Right.
You've had good luck so far,
but luck does run out.
Phil, but it's not all
good luck.
-Taking what you're given.
-We have made the best use
of what we have been given.
There will be
only one winner on this race.
We're gonna turn things up,
Phil.
Man, I don't want to hear this.
I've worked too hard
to go home, man.
Please don't send us home.
Please don't send us home, Phil.
Ryan and Dusty,
I'm sorry to tell you that
you are the last team to arrive.
I guess you guys figured that.
- Yeah.
- We figured it.
Destroyed me today, man.
I mean, you guys have been
the best performers
throughout this race,
and today everything
just fell to bits.
What happened?
Man, digging through the rock,
trying to turn over every stone,
it just
as each stone was found,
it just got harder and harder.
It, like, crushed me, man.
It made me
question a lot of things.
What are you questioning?
I had anger issues
as-as a younger man,
um, and, like,
moving my family and everything,
I've, like, really worked on it.
And I walked the line
on it today. It almost came out.
I was rage was building,
but I just swallowed it.
I just didn't want
my kid to see that.
He doesn't know
the old D-Dusty or Dad, so
He's gonna see me walk the line,
but I was able to step it back.
I mean, I grew today
a whole bunch as a person.
I just don't want to go home.
I've worked too hard, man.
- Most important thing is the example you made, so
- -I know.
I know you've given it
absolutely every
everything you had.
Good news is,
this is a non-elimination leg.
Mwah!
While this is a non-elimination,
I'm pretty sure you've figured
out that those won't continue.
Oh, my God.
All right, there's gonna be
three departure times
- in the next leg.
- I'm guessing we're last.
I can tell you,
you'll be departing last
- and you will be on your own.
- Okay.
You will be behind everybody.
I don't think you've
ever faced that before.
I'd have it no other way, man.
So you got to do
some serious catching up,
because there will only be
three teams
racing to the finish line
for the million-dollar prize.
So today was your lucky day.
Phil, thank you. We're not
gonna let anyone down, man.
Next time
on the two-hour season finale
ofThe Amazing Race
Welcome aboard
Amazing Race Flight 1
to your final destination.
With the finish line in sight
We're ready to run
with the best of 'em.
Let's get it, baby!
You got this, Dad.
there's no room for error.
Ah!
- Did they already get it?
- Yeah.
The final four
I have no idea what he's doing.
I don't think rowing
is my dad's thing.
Took my boat!
race to avoid elimination
and give it all they've got
At this point, honey,
we're just smashing everything.
You're so close.
We are coming for blood
and first place.
to win $1 million.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go. Come on.
You are the official winners
ofThe Amazing Race.
five teams raced
to Thessaloníki, Greece.
Raquel got wrapped up
at the Roadblock.
There's a lot I have to redo.
It really is very confusing
as to what exactly
she's looking for.
Doesn't make any sense
to me, to be honest.
Arun and Natalia were lost
for words.
The dish of the day is
the souvlaki,
-but first you must spell it.
-"Schulaki."
X-U-P
No.
S-C-H-U-L-A-K-I?
No. Try again.
At a second Roadblock,
Penn flexed
his powerful memory
I was
making a personal CliffNote
in my head.
-Correct.
-Yes! Come on! Sorry. It's
giving the married couple
their third win in a row.
You are team number one.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, a series
of costly mistakes
This is a park.
-It's not in a park.
-Maybe it is in a park.
-What are we missing here?
-I don't understand.
Oh, my God, I feel so dumb!
led to a tearful goodbye
for Lulu and Lala.
You are the last team
to arrive, and you have been
-eliminated from the race.
-After everything, thank you.
I do have some, uh, interesting
news for you. You will be
staying in Greece tonight.
You guys get to choose
-which hotel you stay in.
-Really?
You will be booking
your accommodation
using the fast and easy
Travelocity mobile app.
Let's book our room through
the Travelocity app.
Yeah, use the Travelocity app.
"Search hotels."
-Whoa.
-Oh, that one looks good.
A couple Greek gods need
a real nice place
to rest these old bones.
"Swipe to purchase."
-We got a nice room.
-We're staying in Greece.
What a day.
Kim and Penn
and Raquel and Cayla
will depart first at 9:00 a.m.
"Route Info."
"Drive yourself to the
Forest Theatre in Thessaloníki."
"And search for your next clue."
Teams must drive 30 miles north
to Greece's second
largest city--
Thessaloníki-- an ancient city
dating back 24 centuries
and named after
Alexander the Great's sister.
They'll find their next clue
here-- Theatro Dassous,
where stones
are taking center stage.
-Go.
-Go.
We are down
to just four teams, which
-is a little nerve-racking.
-Yeah.
It just means
that there's so little room
for error
at this point in the race.
-Oh, this one?
-Yup.
We're still living off the high
of being in last,
-coming in second.
-Yeah.
So, we're, uh
we're feeling pretty good
-going into today.
-Yeah.
Buckle up.
I think we're getting
so much better and better.
I think, leg by leg,
we're learning. We're learning
from our mistakes,
we're getting stronger.
Which way should I go
when I get out of here?
So, that I actually don't know.
But we haven't won a leg yet.
I know, maybe today's our day.
-Love it.
-It would be great.
-It would be awesome. Yeah.
-Any time now.
I'm looking for signs to
Thessaloníki. That's all, right?
Is there a map
in the front seat at all?
-Yup.
-Oh.
Um
I am doing the best I can.
The map doesn't even have our
current city on it, so we are
This is the definition
of doing the best I can.
"I'm doing the best I can"
-is sort of our family motto.
-Yup.
It is my belief
that most people you encounter
are doing their very best.
Anxiety is something
that I've battled, and on
at a race like this, it's really
just put under the microscope.
So, Penn and I know,
as partners,
I might get frustrated,
but he knows that,
at the end of the day,
I'm doing the best I can.
Correct.
All right, what do we got?
Route Info here.
-All right, let's go.
-Oh, let's go.
Today, leg nine, leaving
in the second group again.
Let's roll, buddy.
We're realizing that
that early start
plays a tremendous amount
on how you can finish, and so,
it's a little deterring
that we're not there, but, uh,
I think to get back
into the top group today,
we just need to run
a flawless leg. We are where
the Greek gods come from,
so I'm hoping
that something's presented
to where our strengths
can be put on display.
Always confident on navigation.
My boy back here
is literally a Garmin.
Oh, this is a map
of Thessaloníki,
so we just need to figure out
how to get there first.
Natalia,
Natalia, I don't see
any sign. Dah-dah.
He's been really impressing me.
Like, for some of the physical
challenges, I'm like,
"I'm not sure
if he's gonna do it."
And he's, like, passing people
and just killing it.
So, he's been impressing me
so much during this race.
With only four teams left,
we have one-in-four chance
to make it to the finals,
with all the teams
extremely strong,
so we just have
to bring the best game possible.
- We are not going anywhere.
- We'll be here.
Navigating in Greece
has definitely
been a little bit harder, uh,
compared to when we were
more in, like, the city center
just because, um,
there's not many signs
when you're in the countryside.
We want to make sure
that we are not getting lost.
Ring Road.
Ring Road Highway. See?
-Ring Road. Here.
-Ring Road, yeah.
-We're going the right way,
baby.
-Oh, good. Are you, like,
-on the map now? Sweet.
-Yeah, we're on the map.
Exits and entrances to the city.
Okay, this is a sign,
but I have no idea
-what that says.
-I don't know what it says
either, but
We just don't want
to make the same mistake
twice like
we did in Switzerland.
Or what's up
what's up there, honey?
-You want me to go up there?
-Yeah. Theatre.
-Forest Theatre.
-Forest Theatre. Holy moly.
How did we find this?
Yeah, let's do this.
Oh, it's
like an outdoor theater.
Yeah. Clue box.
- Sweet!
- Okay, babe.
-"Roadblock." Okay.
-"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
Teams must now go on a search,
leaving no stone unturned
as they follow
the Oracle of Delphi,
exploring all possibilities
to achieve a goal.
In this case, a Roadblock.
Hidden under four of these
stones is a gold coin,
which they'll need to present
to the Oracle to get a clue.
-That's me.
-That's Kim.
You're a good looker.
You're good looking.
Okay.
Oh, my God, it's beautiful.
Look at this. Oh, you see
-the Oracle, babe?
-I do. She's beautiful.
Oh, my God.
Leave no stone unturned.
- You got it, baby.
- There are thousands
of rocks here.
I walk in and see this stage
covered with 5,000 stones.
Just a sea of stones.
Immediately I was overwhelmed.
Only strategy is
attacking one section at a time
to make sure
I'm not missing anything.
It was a semicircle--
the stage,
so it was kind of going in
a pie shape.
I was trying
to create little landmarks
on the stage of areas
where I was like,
"Okay, I've done.
I've done this row."
I'm gonna kind of go this way.
If we're the first team here,
logically,
we have better odds.
You find the first coin,
you make it even harder
for the team behind you
to find the coin.
If the last team has
to find one rock,
that's just mean,
if that's the case.
Listen to the relaxing music.
Yeah, it's like I'm in a spa,
but this is the worst spa ever.
-We're in the right place,
right?
-Yes.
-This is an actual task?
This is not a nightmare?
-Yes.
You're doing awesome.
There's a lot of rocks.
It's gonna take time.
It's gonna be hard
for everybody. I promise.
You're doing great.
I know it doesn't feel like it,
but you're doing awesome.
Keep on looking.
Our goals
for this leg are
to get back in first place.
- We have Thessaloníki.
- Thessaloníki.
- Hell yeah, dude.
- So, is it, right, that?
-I think we need to turn left.
-Right here.
Navigation is so important.
We don't want to lose time
in getting lost.
- Oh. Agios Pavlos.
- Where?
-Keep going straight.
-Where straight?
-Straight, straight.
Keep going straight.
-Right or left?
-This way? Huh?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, straight.
Do you see Agios Pavlos?
-I'm doing a left or right,
straight?
-Left. Left.
-Yeah. Natalia, please.
-Left. Left. All right.
Are you?
I'm sorry. Left.
So far,
their road signs
are not in English.
Oh, it's a lot of Greek writing.
A lot of it.
900 meters.
800, which I don't know
how long that is.
Hopefully we're
in a good standing right now.
I'm assuming
we're either one or two.
Last time I tried to figure out
where our teams were,
we were blatantly wrong.
We saw Lulu and Lala
getting so lost
can be a major downfall,
so I will cheer every time
when I see something
that we're supposed to see.
I mean, we're in a very
old city. I mean,
I'm imagining this city has been
around for thousands of years.
And there are
minimal street signs.
No one really speaks English.
Everything kind of
looks the same.
This is not right.
This is not right.
We got to turn around.
-Can I get off here?
-Um
I don't know
which way to go, babe.
How do we turn back around?
Okay.
Man, I'm so lost.
This is not right.
This is not right.
We need to go back north.
So, hey, just relax. We're
-I got this.
-I'm relaxed. I'm good.
I'm good.
We're fine. So we just need
to turn back around.
I'm just gonna get off here.
That would be wonderful.
Can we ask this person?
Sir, Theatro Dassous?
-Oh.
-Oh, it is right here?
Thank you. Okay.
We got very lucky.
It's like we never even
messed it up to begin with.
I'm looking for a gold coin.
And I thought
it would be very obvious,
but now I'm thinking that
it's not gonna be so obvious.
We are in an ancient Greek
theater in the land of the gods,
and it's probably a good time
to start praying to them.
My back is starting to hurt.
-Here's the parking. Okay.
-Great job. Okay.
Here we go.
Okay.
"Who will leave"
"No stone unturned?"
-Do you think they're heavy?
-I'll do it.
Here comes somebody.
Leave no stone unturned.
No stone unturned.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to hell.
You got it, Raquel.
This is your challenge.
I have no idea
what this gold coin looks like.
I would imagine
it would stick out at least.
- Look, look. Clue box. Clue box.
- Come on, dude.
I see it. Let's go.
"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
You, maybe.
I got it. I'm gonna do it.
Leave no stone unturned.
Leave no stone unturned.
There are the boys. Damn.
I am currently looking
for a gold coin
on the bottom of a stone.
I was trying to search in zones,
and then
my friends here showed up
and squatted in my zones.
Haven't looked over here,
but I'm pretty sure
other people have.
Oh, this is so frustrating.
Oh, my God, dude. This is nuts.
There it is.
"Who will leave
no stone unturned?"
-Think you should do it. Yeah.
-Okay, I'll do it.
- Leave no stone unturned.
- Oh, holy cow.
Hello, everyone.
Got to the place,
and we seen all the teams.
I said, "God, good."
They were struggling,
so I thought this was the chance
that I can pick up some time.
You got this, Dad!
Do it for Mom, Dad!
Hopefully get lucky.
I don't know.
When I first started
the challenge,
I did have a strategy.
I thought I'll start
with the outer circle.
And then go
to the inner circles.
But the problem-- what happened
is, when I was trying to,
there was already people in the
way, the path I wanted to go,
so I had to change the strategy
a little bit.
This is a challenge,
you definitely need patience,
and I knew that he was just
not gonna freak out,
he was gonna stay calm.
This is my time to show up.
Leave no stone unturned.
This is just one of those tasks
that tests you mentally.
Don't suppose you want
to tell me where it is. No?
You do you.
Keep your cool.
Trying to look in places
that seem more inconspicuous.
There's, like, that sound effect
when you screw up something
on The Amazing Race.
They go like
And, like, and they show,
it's, like, very obvious
what you're missing.
I'll have picked it up
and be like, "I don't know
where it is," and it'll have
like, be on the bottom,
and I'll put it down.
This is tough. I mean, I don't
really know if there's
any real strategy to this.
This is, like,
12 self-drives and
a bungee jump rolled into one.
If I weren't in a race,
I would say this is meditative.
I'm in a race,
and it's panic-inducing.
This is quite torturous.
Raquel, I'll give you
a back massage when we're done.
Dusty, I won't.
I need my gold!
Where is my gold?
Will you guys forward my mail?
- Huh.
- I might be here a while.
- Keep it up, baby.
- You're doing great.
Just keep looking.
- You guys having fun yet?
- Oh, God.
I should have prayed today,
but I didn't.
I did pray.
Good for you, then.
I think we're all kind of
in the same position.
This is the great equalizer.
Help me, help me, help me.
Just got to be patient,
keep your head in it.
So, I meditate every morning.
I feel like this time around,
meditation has absolutely
changed me on this race
'cause I'm just
so much more calm,
I'm more present in the moment.
It's, like, it feels so good.
I need some of your good juju.
You let me take in your
good energy. Find the stone.
Channel. I'm gonna channel
that energy.
I burn Nag Champa at home.
I'm giving you all my patience,
my positive vibes.
I'm thinking
it's something we're missing.
Not a single person
has found anything yet?
I'm starting to lose it.
The wheels are, uh, coming off.
Fire. Ooh, ooh.
I felt good because
Dusty was losing his patience.
So I-I knew this is a challenge
where you have to have patience.
I mean,
if you don't have patience
and you're just crisscrossing,
you'll never find it.
Picking up stones,
setting down stones,
picking more stones up.
You got it.
Just keep trying, babe.
Process of elimination,
we have we've been
everywhere. Like
All four of us, I mean,
in an hour, turning over
every stone,
turning over
the same stone multiple times.
It's like, we couldn't even find
a single gold coin.
And it's just,
you feel hopeless.
Such a vast amount
of stones to turn over, and
just, after every one, my gloves
are tearing,
my knees are bleeding.
-This is like watching
a horror movie.
-I know.
Where?
We've all been through here,
I feel like.
I mean
let's narrow this down.
I-I swear to God,
I've been through every section.
-Me, too.
-And I have touched every rock.
Everything has
to have been flipped over,
you would assume.
They're going over
the same rocks now.
Raquel is right where Dusty just
was for the past 30 minutes.
The Oracle-- I need you.
Give me your powers.
It feels like
I've been here for three years.
And it could be anywhere.
Oh!
You found it?
- Wow.
- No way.
Here is your treasure.
- Let's go!
- Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I was the first one.
-I was like, "Thank you."
-I was like, "Aah!"
Good luck! Good luck, good
Oh!
Route Info. All right, let's go.
Come on.
-Come on, come on, come
on, come on.
-Okay, okay, okay.
"Find Socrates
at the Trigonion Tower.
Listen to his words of wisdom
to receive your next clue."
Okay, all right.
At least we know
it's here, guys.
Of course I wanted it to be me,
but the fact that Raquel
found one, I'm like,
"Oh, they are here.
They're here."
I'm sure
I touched the one she had.
I'm sure I touched it.
I found that first! Yes!
Oh, Trigonion Tower. Nine.
-You found it?
-Yes.
It's literally directly south
from here. Nine.
You got this, Dad!
Thank you, Natalia.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, I wish I could tag in,
man. I wish I could.
Holy crap! I found it.
Are you kidding me, Kim?
Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Good job.
Wow.
-It was terrible.
-I know.
- Let's get the out of here.
- Okay, let's go.
Kim found the coin.
That's what happened.
They have searched those areas
so many times.
Oh, God. Prayers.
You got this, Dad.
- This is crazy, man.
- You'll get it, man.
-I'd be going crazy, too.
-There's nothing
I can do about it,
man, just keep
turning these things.
Come on, gold coin!
Where are you?
Come on, gold coin!
Where are you?
I just need to pray for a bit.
You got this, Dad!
Yes!
Good job.
Oh.
Not good.
Here is your treasure.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job, buddy.
And there's one left, man.
This is ridiculous.
What am I doing here?
Come on, coin.
As you see the other teams
find them, and you know
that you're the last man
in the trenches,
and there's a whole field
of stones,
I mean, I was crushed.
Where have I not looked?
We're going
to the Trigonion Tower
to find Socrates.
-Okay, I see it on the map.
-Hmm.
This is not how I expected
to go out, bro.
"Trignon" Tower.
- That what we're looking for?
- Yeah, Trigonion Tower.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, yeah.
-Look at how pretty this is.
-Oh, my God.
-It looks so old.
-This is beautiful.
I'm just gonna park
right here, okay?
Okay, just go.
Right?
Right there.
"Listen to his words of wisdom
to receive your next clue."
-Hi. Hi.
-Socrates.
Okay.
He, like, leaned forward,
and his eyes got really big,
and he's, like, looking
into your soul, so it was
kind of, like, for a moment,
I'm like, "Just spit it out."
Thank you
"Detour."
This detour requires teams
to deliver plates
with tender, loving care, or
smash 'em to smithereens,
something the Greeks do
to celebrate joy and happiness.
For those choosing
to deliver plates,
they must safely carry 300
of them up this hill
to Café Jasmine.
Once there, the restaurant owner
will break out their next clue.
Teams that choose
to break plates
must smash
through a pile of them,
but only
when the band is playing.
Until they find one
with a clue inside--
the name of their next Pit Stop.
Break 'Em.
Oh, look, look.
Good job, guys.
- Good job, guys.
- Oh, thanks.
You topped us.
Is this Socrates up here?
Socrates.
You're a Socrates?
There's only
one good knowledge?
Thank you!
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Appreciate it.
-I'm a big fan of your work.
-Yeah.
Yeah. You, too, you guys.
-We're smashing.
-Are you sure?
I have a lot of rage
I'd like to smash.
Let's do it.
We're smashing plates.
Okay.
All right.
Regroup, Dusty.
What I'd do to try
to make cheese again.
What I would do
to try to make cheese again.
Be peaceful, man.
I'm getting close.
I can feel it.
We have to park off
off of Eptapyrgio Street
between First High School
and the northeast side
of the Heptapyrgion
of Thessalonica.
Nat,
I didn't understand one word.
You're speaking in Greek
or what? Ha, ha, ha.
-All right, Dad, let's focus
on getting to it.
-No, I know.
But I'm focusing on the thing.
First stop sign,
-it said.
-Yeah.
-What?
-Akrita? Café Jasmine.
-We're here.
-Café Jasmine?
Yeah, this is it.
- Hey! We made it.
- Hi!
How are you?
-Okay.
-Limoncello?
"Choose a plate-smashing
station.
Once chosen,
you may not switch."
Okay. "You may only smash plates
when the band is playing.
Alternate turns
smashing plates."
We could only do it
while the band was playing.
If we smashed them
while the band stopped
well, that was a no-no.
One at a time, right? One.
-One, plate two.
-Two.
In evaluating how can we best
handle this, I was like,
"Okay, I'm gonna say 'one,'
you say 'two,'
and we're gonna have a rhythm."
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One.
-Two. Stop.
-This is fun.
-This is so fun.
This is therapeutic.
- Smash something? Yes.
- Like, we just honestly,
at that point, wanted something
-therapeutic,
and so we were like, "Ugh!"
-Yeah.
-It was, like, the most fun.
-Felt great.
-Could the clue have been,
like..?
-Well, if we have to,
I will then put my gloves on,
and we will search through.
Yeah, we will search it, okay.
Thank you.
Okay, it's got to be over here
somewhere.
- You got it, dude.
- Come on.
I just want to scream
at the top of my lungs.
I know, I know.
Certain challenges are no joke.
I thought I had strategy
at the beginning, but once
you turn over 2,000
of 5,000 stones,
you kind of lose place,
where you're at,
and it's just,
you feel hopeless.
It's got to be in this area,
man. It's got to be over here.
All I could think about was "I'm
gonna lose this for our team."
A lot of anger started building,
uh, and, you know,
it was bad.
Ready, go.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Two.
-One!
-Two!
Cut myself.
-Are you okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Alternate
between different stacks,
so we can go through.
Look at the bottom like this,
like how I'm doing it.
I was like, "Let's make sure we
flip it over and then smash it,
still do it fast-paced."
'Cause you never know
where the clues are gonna be,
right? I mean, it can be inside
-the plate.
-She's still in the mindset
of flipping over stones.
-She's like,
"Let's flip over 300 plates"
-Yeah. I don't know.
-"before we split."
-I'd rather be thorough
'cause I have learned
the hard way in this race
that if you're not thorough
and pay attention
to the details, you could
-it could really set you back.
-Yeah.
-One!
-Two!
-One.
-Oh, there it is. Okay?
-Get it.
-Oh, that's it. White Tower.
-Okay, grab all the
-Okay.
This is White Tower,
which got its name back in 1891
when someone painted it white.
It's now a symbol
of Thessaloníki
and, today, the Pit Stop
for this leg of the race,
where Greek philosopher
Diogenes, the Cynic,
will be waiting to greet them.
The last team to check in here
may be eliminated.
All right, let's go down.
I see plates.
I see a band.
This has got to be it.
So, now we smash.
And-and look for a clue.
Hey!
-Yeah.
-Hey! Hey!
Hey!
- Oh.
- Stop.
This is like
really weird musical chairs.
-You guys are good.
-You guys are great.
Can't wait to come back and
never do this again.
Knees, don't fail me.
- We see the White Tower.
- We're gonna cross
so we don't have
to dodge all these people.
Here we go, final stretch.
Ah, Phil!
Yes!
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
We have two ears
and one tongue so that
we'd listen more and speak less.
-I like that.
-Thank you.
- I got one for you.
- Okay.
You are team number one.
We did it!
-Oh, my God.
-I'm sorry.
-We won!
-Oh, Lord!
- Oh, God.
- And I have some
great news for you.
As the winners
of this leg of the race,
you have won a trip for two
from Travelocity,
and you are going to Kauai.
You're gonna stay six nights
at the Sheraton Kauai
Coconut Beach Resort
in an ocean view room.
Enjoy a helicopter tour of the
Napali Coast and Waimea Valley,
a Luau Makaiwa,
and private chef's
poolside dinner for two.
You can enjoy yourselves.
Congratulations. This is the end
- of the ninth leg of this race.
- Thank you.
Finally!
Ah, are you happy?
-Yes.
-Oh, okay.
-I'm so proud of us!
-Maybe just a little bit?
-I'm so proud of ourselves.
-You should be proud.
We are gonna be the fourth
all-female team to win
The Amazing Race.
Mark our words.
This is my kryptonite.
I thought it was being confined
in tight spaces.
I guess it's turning stones.
-I'm losing, dude.
-What's the point, right?
I'm so angry.
Oh, Dusty, come on, baby.
Keep it together.
Don't let 'em win.
Oh, Dusty
-Hey! Hey! Hey!
-I can do this all day long.
Hey!
Can I be honest?
It feels better if you yell
-"Hey!" after each of 'em.
-Not doing it.
Okay. Opa?
I'm fresh out of patience.
I needed to smash some things.
It felt good.
One of my very dear friends
got married in Santorini, and
there was a time that they
they-they had the plates,
and they let us smash 'em.
So I have done that before, but
the way I was smashing today--
there was a lot of rage.
Less celebratory and more rage.
Two, one.
-Ah, I got it!
-You got it? Where?
Oh.
-"White Tower." Well done.
-Okay.
You have to park
off Eptapyrgiou Street
between First High School
and northeast side
of the Heptapyrgion
of Thessalonica.
What are we entering?
Hmm? Did we miss it?
Yeah, I think
we have to keep going up.
- Keep going which up?
- By the florist.
Ah.
- Yeah.
- Can you just turn around
-and go the other direction?
-Yeah, I'm just
I'm trying to.
Where do you want me to turn?
'Cause most of them have
U-turns. Uh
How is it so hard to find this?
Oh. That was a day, Phil.
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
We have two ears and one tongue
so that we'd listen more
and speak less.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
I'm pleased to tell you
you're team number two.
Yes! Yes.
There will be
three departure times
on the next leg of the race.
You will be leaving second.
Just let 'em see you be
peaceful, man.
-That's the only thing
that matters.
-I'm not gonna let it beat me.
-I've been all over, dude.
-I know you have, man.
Everybody had and didn't
find anything. It just
-Please hit me with lightning!
-It's designed
to spin someone out.
Don't let it do it to you.
Please, please be in here.
Should come up here
and take a look, man.
It's real pretty.
Take a rest.
Take a breather.
Just enjoy the breeze.
Take a breath.
Good thing is,
there's always more beautiful
things on the other side, man.
Ryan's you know,
he's talking to me,
trying to coax me down a bit.
Don't mess yourself up.
You're doing good, man.
Literally, you can't do
any better than you're doing.
I just don't know
where to start, dude.
Just enjoy this.
I think what really helped
and stopped me from blowing
the gasket was he asked me
to come up to the top
of the theater with him.
And he was like,
"Man, let's just take a look
and realize where we're at."
It's something
that I've worked on a lot
over the last few years
is my anger.
I've had a temper
as a younger man.
Um, and it almost brought out
a real bad side of me.
And, uh, you know,
I just kept thinking,
"I don't want my son
to see me act like this."
So I swallowed my--
I don't want to call it pride--
but the anger. I had to just,
you know,
let the pressure valve release.
What-Whatever happens today--
it's
This has been an incredible
journey with my buddy. Um,
I've just put so much into this,
but I'm gonna keep looking.
It's just, I didn't think this
would be what got me, man.
I definitely didn't think
this would be what got me.
But that's the race.
I've watched enough of it.
I'm a student of the game.
These things can get you, and
this may be the one that got me.
Myles, buddy, I love you, dude.
I tried.
Breathe, Dusty. Breathe.
"No stone unturned."
Oh, boy. I just don't know
where to go!
Oracle, help me out here.
All the wisdom in the world
won't help you with this .
I mean, I tell you.
Now, if I were a gold coin,
where would I put myself?
Oh, my. Yeah! Yes!
Yes! Yes!
-Here is your treasure.
-Oh, it's a treasure, all right.
Yeah!
I wanted to give up, buddy,
but I didn't.
- Oh.
- Let's roll.
Yeah, we got to sprint, bud.
Oh, there's a marked parking.
-I see it.
-Where do you see it?
-Right. To your right,
to your right.
-Yeah.
-Where the white car is.
-Nat, you have to tell me
-right or left. Come on.
-To the right.
-How many times have I told you?
-Right. To the right.
-Right. To the right.
On this street, yeah.
-Park here.
-You've got
to stop doing this, okay?
-I said, to the right.
I had to yell at Natalia
a couple of times.
Why, though?
I don't understand.
Like, I was like,
"The parking spot's
on the right,"
and you're, like, freaking out.
You're like,
"Give me clearer directions."
And I'm like,
"It's on the right,
to the right."
-Okay, hurry up. Come on.
-Okay.
We need to find
Trigonion Tower?
I feel like
I got my second wind.
It may be a real slow wind.
- My fingers are destroyed.
- Okay.
My legs are destroyed. My back.
I mean, I feel like I'm 80,
but we're gonna get it done.
-You got her?
-Yeah, I think so, actually.
Sweet. Hell yeah, man.
-This might not be it.
-Huh?
Is this not it?
You're just running around
without any clue.
-Do we go up here?
-Yeah.
You are just running,
like, with no direction.
Yeah, and we ran in a circle.
This is where we started.
We lost our way.
We're just wasting time
for no reason.
Dusty and Ryan could
have passed us.
They could have found the stone
right after us, so
-Then-then we-we feel that
we're in the last place now.
-Yeah.
What if we get there, there's
still people doing something?
The good thing is, I think
we got good directions
and we're making good time.
Why are you going that way?
There's a path here.
Just concentrate.
We can't be fighting right now.
Yeah. Nat, look at the clue.
"Listen to Socrates
for your next clue."
There is only one good--
knowledge--
and one evil-- ignorance.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Oh, thank you.
Detour.
We're gonna do Break 'Em.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
We wasted our time.
- This way?
- There's, like, no restaurants.
Are you freaking kidding me?
It's, like, deserted here.
What do we got over here?
-Yep, I see it.
-Nice.
My man figured it out.
-Socrates.
-Socrates, please.
There is only one good--
knowledge--
and one evil-- ignorance.
I agree.
-Thank you, sir. 100%.
-Thank you, sir.
We appreciate you.
Yeah, let's go
smash some stuff, man.
I want to smash
everything around me.
That's all you've been wanting
to
Revenge, for sure. 100%.
Can you give me direction?
"Chinari" Square is down?
-It's down? Okay.
-Down, down.
Okay, and then Akrita is down?
-Down.
-Okay, Akrita.
Okay, let's go.
Hey!
- Yes.
- This looks really nice.
- This looks café-y.
- Café-y.
We feel like
we're in a café area.
This is beautiful.
We're gonna hit pay dirt here
real soon.
-The music.
-Okay.
"Choose a plate-smashing
station." Right here.
- Alternate, correct?
- Yeah.
- What are we looking?
- Break it properly.
You're not breaking it fully.
Who cares about that?
Just go.
You got to break it here.
Keep going, keep going.
We got to make sure, like,
we're breaking it fully,
so that we don't
miss any of the clues.
Nat, you're not
breaking the pieces.
Hit it flat like this.
Oh, my God, I got it.
Yes, yes!
Good job, Natalia!
-That's it. White Tower, okay?
-That's it. Okay.
Let's go.
My knee is buckling, okay?
Get on the sidewalk.
Dusty.
Is that Jasmine? Oh, yeah.
Hiyo!
Let's go.
Look for, uh, the clue.
Opa!
That one works.
This is very soothing.
So, this is a great way
to release my aggression.
Yeah.
Hit 'em on the side.
They go everywhere.
We found it. We're headed
to the White Tower!
Which way to the water?
- That was awesome.
- Thank you.
Let's go.
We could be in last right now,
but we're just
gonna keep running.
We know where we're going,
hopefully.
Hopefully it's the Pit Stop.
Let's go.
Watch it.
Thank-thank you.
- Come on, Dad.
- I hit my knee on a rock.
- Are you okay?
- My knee is buckling.
Light jog, light jog.
Pace ourselves.
Come on.
We got a new friend.
-What's up, bro?
-Yeah, man.
Yeah!
Lead us to the White Tower.
Let's go!
Let's hope we're running
in the right direction.
- Come on, Nat.
- You got to do it for Mom.
Aah!
-White Tower, let's go, dude.
-We're
We're following, uh,
Scruffleupagus.
- Yeah.
- Taking us to the White Tower.
See you, buddy.
- This is a nightmare.
- Yeah.
It could be anybody's race.
-That one there.
-Oh, okay, okay.
We got to hustle.
Hey, right here, Ryan. Ryan.
I see something
that looks like a tower.
There it is, bud.
Oh, that's it.
Come on!
Come on.
This way. Good call, good call.
- The White Tower ahead.
- We got to go quick. Come on.
- Here we go.
- Okay, let's go.
There it is, baby.
Let's go, baby. Yeah!
Dad, let's go!
Detroit is here!
Yes.
- Phil.
- Mr. Phil.
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
What kind of a day have you had?
We had a decent day
- till we get to
turning the rocks.
- Yeah.
- But I'm not too sure.
- We haven't seen Ryan and Dusty,
so I think we might
be still in third place.
- You-you agree?
- Agree?
- Yes.
- Okay. Congratulations.
- You're team number three.
Team number three
is a good finish.
-That matches your best finish
so far, correct?
-Yeah.
-Yep. Yep.
-That's in leg two.
-Right.
You've had good luck so far,
but luck does run out.
Phil, but it's not all
good luck.
-Taking what you're given.
-We have made the best use
of what we have been given.
There will be
only one winner on this race.
We're gonna turn things up,
Phil.
Man, I don't want to hear this.
I've worked too hard
to go home, man.
Please don't send us home.
Please don't send us home, Phil.
Ryan and Dusty,
I'm sorry to tell you that
you are the last team to arrive.
I guess you guys figured that.
- Yeah.
- We figured it.
Destroyed me today, man.
I mean, you guys have been
the best performers
throughout this race,
and today everything
just fell to bits.
What happened?
Man, digging through the rock,
trying to turn over every stone,
it just
as each stone was found,
it just got harder and harder.
It, like, crushed me, man.
It made me
question a lot of things.
What are you questioning?
I had anger issues
as-as a younger man,
um, and, like,
moving my family and everything,
I've, like, really worked on it.
And I walked the line
on it today. It almost came out.
I was rage was building,
but I just swallowed it.
I just didn't want
my kid to see that.
He doesn't know
the old D-Dusty or Dad, so
He's gonna see me walk the line,
but I was able to step it back.
I mean, I grew today
a whole bunch as a person.
I just don't want to go home.
I've worked too hard, man.
- Most important thing is the example you made, so
- -I know.
I know you've given it
absolutely every
everything you had.
Good news is,
this is a non-elimination leg.
Mwah!
While this is a non-elimination,
I'm pretty sure you've figured
out that those won't continue.
Oh, my God.
All right, there's gonna be
three departure times
- in the next leg.
- I'm guessing we're last.
I can tell you,
you'll be departing last
- and you will be on your own.
- Okay.
You will be behind everybody.
I don't think you've
ever faced that before.
I'd have it no other way, man.
So you got to do
some serious catching up,
because there will only be
three teams
racing to the finish line
for the million-dollar prize.
So today was your lucky day.
Phil, thank you. We're not
gonna let anyone down, man.
