The Great Escape (2012) s01e01 Episode Script
Escape From Alcatraz
This is Alcatraz, a former prison that has been unescape-able until tonight.
Each week three teams of two will be taken to a different confinement, locked inside and race to be the first to escape.
The first team to break out and make it to me will win $100,000.
Welcome to The Great Escape.
My name is Britney and this is Gabe my fiancé.
We've been together for three years and we are definitely going to win because we need to.
What we're gonna do with the money is finally plan and prepare pay for our wedding.
Physically and mentally, I think we're very tough and we think outside the box and and whatever you put in front of us we're gonna do it.
I'm Dex.
This is Jeff.
We've known each other 13 years.
I have my MBA.
This guy knows like, mechanics.
He looks at it from one way and I look at it another and we meet in the middle.
Are we competitive? Yeah.
We both played sports our whole life so when the bells sounds we come out fighting.
I saw my competitions this morning.
Who is that? When I looked in the mirror.
We can only beat ourselves.
My name is Miles Stoner.
I'm from Dallas, Texas.
- This is my sister.
- Megan.
The family is very competitive.
It's gonna be difficult to stop both of us together.
Miles is really analytical where I'm very impulsive so I think him analyzing the situation and then my energy will be a good combination.
Our strongest as set is the communication factor because if he it's not gonna hurt my feelings.
This is probably the only time in my life where I am not prepared in a situation.
I have no idea what I'm about to be doing.
I'm expecting like a very uncomfortable situation and I think it will be kinda dangerous and scary.
Tonight one team is going to make history by being one of the first to break out of the confines with these infamous walls and make it to freedom.
Guards, remove their blindfolds.
First thing I did was just look around and realised this is, oh man, this is serious we're escaping.
Welcome to the rock.
Alcatraz island.
Perhaps the most feared and escaped proof prison in America.
Alcatraz is a shock when they took the blindfold and you look around, it's old school but it's just creepy at the same time.
It's definitely creepy.
We'll start here in the detainment cells.
Locked in one of these cells.
You must find a map of the escape route and the key somewhere in your cell to escape and using a map you work your way through four stages at each stage you'll be faced with a task that will challenge your mind, strength and ingenuity.
Overcome the challenge, it will advance you to the next stage and reveal a piece of The Great Escape key.
Once all four pieces are found, and the key is assembled, my whereabouts will be revealed.
First team that gets to me with the completed great escape key will unlock the box and instantly become $100,000 richer.
I probably have like $15,000, $16,000 in debt and I may be homeless in about two or three months.
The only way I lose is if I fail myself and it's just not in the cards without coming home with that money.
Now at various points during your escape you may encounter patrolling guards.
If you are caught, you will be escorted back here in the detainment zone where you must find a key somewhere in your cell to escape and return to the game at the same spot where you were captured.
This will cost you valuable time.
Don't get caught.
Remembering, this escape route map is the keys to your escape.
Guards, lock 'em up.
At the stroke of midnight, the escape is on.
Good luck.
What are you looking for? The map.
And the key.
We had to get the map and the key to get out.
We were just destroying everything.
Where is it! Right here.
Right here.
Right here.
We found a map there but we still have to find the key.
Where would you hide a key if you were a prisoner.
I don't get it where is the key.
Take everything off.
Found the map.
Found the key.
On the back of that.
Yeah, boy.
That one, that one.
That one.
Let's go, let's go! We have to feel where the hole is.
So where is the lock boxes.
This is the main cell block stage one of our contestant's race to freedom.
Our teams must use their skills to search for tools to break in to one of the free lock boxes located somewhere inside these cells.
What's in the lock box, a flashlight, a riddle and the first piece to The Great Escape key.
Come on, come on! Going around and trying to find the lock box and trying to avoid guards and there are guards inside.
Look at the box.
Look at the map.
Are we looking for a key.
Volume 4 page 143.
What are you doing? We need the key! I went into animal mode and it just threw me off a little bit because he picked up his book and I think this is a clue and he puts it in and I'm like dude, what are you doing, we're looking for a key.
Come on, come on.
Don't we need a fucking key to get out of this place? So far all teams have found their map but the blue team was the first to break out of confinement.
Leading red and green team trapped in their cells.
Fuck dude.
I picked up the guitar and something was inside there so what is the best thing to take out your frustration on a guitar.
You get it? I can't get my hand out there.
Grab that, there's a mirror.
A mirror? Your hands are too big.
Here we go.
We have to go before they come.
This is one way or the other.
You are right.
Come on, come on, come on! Dude! Where we going? Where we going? Go down and turn right.
Here you go.
You kidding me.
Other teams started moving around the cell block and it was discouraging for us but at the same time, we were like we've got to make it through and be careful don't come near me I I don't want to cut you on accident.
We're going to need some of these tools and I don't get it.
I think it's the cell.
Ok, look.
We have to find the tools.
Ok.
The tools in hand, teams must now locate their lock box in one of the 312 cells.
You look left I'll look right.
You look left I'll look right.
Are we going up here? Because these are open.
What are we looking for.
Dude, right here.
There's going to be a wrench.
We found it and we were like ah, the tools.
We have to get the wrench from downstairs.
It's definitely up there.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Come on.
I saw a pipe wrench.
Let's go, let's go.
There it is.
There it is.
Just stay here.
Miles saw from across the balcony into the other cell the lock box, it was good.
Right there! Right there! Where! There you go! Just don't throw it on the ground.
Red and green teams are on the second floor of block B.
And blue team is just opposite on the first floor.
This is going to take forever.
Can you get to it? Yeah.
Hit break the box open and we can grab what is in it.
Good job.
I beat the box until it got opened and we got the riddle so for the pad lockout in the wreck yard and the first pieces for The Great Escape key.
Take your time.
I think we got the lead.
As if breaking in the lock box wasn't hard enough, teams must now solve a riddle and the correct answer will open three identical padlocks located in the wreck yard.
Each team must open their own to successfully make it out to stage 2.
Once the lock has been opened that gate is off limits to the other teams.
The wreck yard combination is hours served 24 hours in a day.
So 49 days 16 hours.
We have to go to the wreck center.
Keep going.
Keep going.
There you go.
We got that lock box opened and we got really excite and there there was a riddle that had a math problem.
49 times 24.
And plus 16 and I'm not going to do that in my head.
What is in the wreck yard teams will have to avoid the prison spotlights as they capture by the guards and use the code that they have discovered to unlock the pad lock gate if captured they'll be taken straight to the detainment center.
If they can avoid the guards and open the gate they'll go right on to stage 2.
When we got to the wreck yard door we looked through.
You can see like spotlights.
So we kind of needed to like map the pattern out and make sure that we were gonna be able to get the pad lock but we needed to put in advance to the riddle.
Now, now.
Oh! They're going to follow me.
Stay here and duck down.
Stay here and duck down.
87, 88, 89.
90, 91.
What did you say? Ah, dude.
1102? Yep.
Come on.
Get out! Red team, stop.
The red team has been captured.
He killed it.
The red team has been captured.
The red team has been captured.
We're going for $100,000, let's rock 'n' roll and get out of here.
Let's go, dude! - You've got it.
- I'm opening it.
The blue team is currently working on getting the contents out of their lock box while green team is trying to find their way to the wreck yard where red team has been captured.
We drop all our things right here.
Red team must now drop all of their clues and tools as they are escorted back to the detainment zone.
Listen, listen.
Listen to me.
You are pulling it up here.
I think we're both strong minded.
Sometimes we just bump heads because we're used to being right.
Hold on.
I got it.
You just have to get out of here! Ok.
It's a different key.
No! We need to leave this room with the combination in our head.
I go you "got the number" he's like you got the number I'm thinking.
This isn't good.
Watch the light.
Come on, come on! Hurry up, hurry up! Moving in.
I feel it.
I feel it.
- You feel it? - Yeah.
I got a string.
You got it.
Oh my gosh, I feel like crying.
There's a riddle in here.
The riddle.
Wreck yard combo hours served So 24 hours times 49 days.
We need to figuring it out before we get there.
Finding the key was really difficult.
I grabbed the bar soap, and I was like, that's gross, and I threw it at him.
It's in the soap.
The soap hit my leg and I was like oh, nice Megan and the key was in the middle of it.
It was dumb luck, I guess.
Here, break it with that.
Right there.
Oh my God if I drop this key we're going to be here for a long, long time.
That's hard to turn.
You know what it is.
Don't say it out loud.
When we saw the red team walk up, it was like, we were already in a panic because I saw it for sure I had that number in my head, we see a red flash in front of us and we were like ok, these are the guys that we have to beat.
Red team has completed stage one.
Red team must now make their way to the administration building to start stage 2.
Leaving green team in second place stuck at the gate and blue team is trailing behind in last place working on their riddle.
We have to figure it out.
Let's figure this out first.
It's pitch black so we were thinking guards are gonna be laced throughout this area.
Let's go further that way.
Hey, guys.
Try it right now.
We saw the red team - and they were open like that.
- By them Opening that door first we had to go to the other door.
Are you kidding me! Damn it! For some reason, I mean, I had things every day.
It was just I was just thinking basics.
Nine times four.
What is up this number.
It's 1176.
You gotta carry the one from there.
So 1192.
It is like how do you forget something so simple as that.
Carry the one.
Here it is.
The green team has completed stage one.
They have to be quiet.
Let's go this way.
There's a car right there.
Under the light.
Under the light.
Blue team stop.
Blue team has been captured.
Red team stop right there.
The red team has been captured.
We're not getting busted.
There's someone up there.
When I saw the red team captured, we got serious, I turned in to ninja mode, like against the wall, and we had to wait and we we don't get captured, and we stay out of the light.
We go in to that building up there.
Going back to the cell I felt anger.
It took us forever to find that first key and I just I was a little discouraged.
I don't see any keys when we were It doesn't seem that big but it's gigantic.
There's someone up there, hey.
Ready, go.
Let's go, let's go.
In stage 2 this mental challenge will require some ingenuity using the tools around them teams will have to locate individual canvas bags containing a marine map and a compass it's also where they'll find the second piece of The Great Escape key.
Right here, right here.
There's this rope going to 10 or something like that and there is four little magnets in there.
Dude, yeah, yeah.
Almost instantly after that I saw oh, there's something there we have to fish out.
Slowly.
Just take your time, take your time.
Bring it in, bring it in, you've got it, you've got it take your time.
Grab it.
Grab it.
Here's the compass, here's the map.
Ok let's move on.
We were able to get the sack out and I pulled out the second part of the key which gave us even more boost like we were like This is it.
Green team has completed stage 2 and picking up a nautical map, a compass and the second part of The Great Escape key.
Now they must make their way to the ammunition goal coast to meet their next challenge.
Green team has completed stage 2.
They need to get caught.
Yeah, they do.
Are you all right? Dude, where are you going.
After we ran in to each other I was just so aggravated at that time because he kept telling me watch me, follow me.
Hey, dude.
The guard popped up, shut up, chill.
Take a breath.
We're going for $100,000 and I just I had to let out some frustration, some extra energy.
I'm trying to go slow, and you're running and you told me to go slow.
Say something, I don't know.
You're leading.
Give up.
Don't give up.
I'm not giving up.
Found it.
- You found it? - Yeah.
Do your thing.
Do your thing Meg.
Where the hell does this key here.
/// red team has escaped detainment zone.
He is coming and coming.
Green team stop.
Our timing just got off and we got confused where we were going and the guard had enough time to run his cycle and come back around and we got captured.
Green team has been captured.
Yes.
That's a freaking nice one.
Our teams are scattered throughout the guarded grounds of Alcatraz.
The red team is making their way to the administration building in stage 2.
The blue team is still stuck in the detainment zone and the green team has just been captured on their way to stage 3.
The green team is coming back.
Yeah.
Now roles are reversed before we saw the red team get captured and we're passing them and now we're captured.
We're coming down and they're passing us.
And it stung a little bit but we also realised we're going through the same things that they just went through and they're already back and we can do this.
We can get back fast.
There's a hole in the pictures.
Got it, got it.
You've got it.
Go, go.
Come on.
What is our game plan.
You got the map.
We have to go back, we have to go back there's a guard right there.
Do you remember the number? - Yeah.
- What is it? It was 1176 plus 16 so 1192.
Retrieve chart and compass in bag.
Where is the bag? You see.
At stage 2 we were in the administrative building and we were stumped.
I think it's gotta be over here somewhere.
Megan watch out! Oh my God.
Come on.
- Oh dude! - What? Go inside and get in there.
Yeah.
Here.
Put this thing right there.
Watch your head? Let me let me get that out.
Ok.
Come on, come on.
Let me do it.
Get it in there.
You got it.
Green team has escaped detainment zone.
Come on, come on.
Oh, here we go.
That's the sack right there.
All right, cool, here, just give me I know how to swing a kite.
He keeps hitting me.
We have to do it from a blow.
Got it.
Just bring the whole thing, we can open on the boat.
Red team has completed stage 2.
Go, go, go.
1192.
1192.
That's the green team there.
Damn it! Light, light, light, get the light! Go, go, you go back.
One at a time probably.
- Get my back.
- I'm looking.
Just hop on.
Get over here now.
There's one right behind you.
Right behind you.
Just look down.
Put the map out.
That's where we were.
That's where we're going.
We came out here and we've got to go to this one He is coming this way.
I think he's climbing on some kind of stairs.
There's another team.
It's the green team.
Right there.
The red team was only about 30 feet ahead of us but there was no hiding spots from the guards so we had to wait for them to move.
He is he's unprepared.
Let's go.
- Make a right and go down.
- Yeah.
I thought it was an advantage to the red team to be ahead of us at that point because they were exactly going the same way we were going so if we were following them, all we had to do was watch behind us and they would pretty much be our eyes ahead of us.
Be careful.
Stay back.
Whoa.
Come on.
The thing about stage 3, to get there, is zigzag back and forth plus you gotta watch out for these guards that are walking up and down and there was two of them walking like this so you have a lot of creeping and running and creeping, so that wears on your legs.
Let's go.
Be careful.
This is it baby! Be careful.
Come on, go, go, go.
Green team stop right there.
Everything happened in slow motion and it was like best moment ever and no.
That's cold, man.
The green team has been captured.
That's not us.
The green team has been captured.
I heard the green team got caught I'm like great.
We're gonna be kind of even.
Let's go.
As the night moves on, our teams are learning firsthand how Alcatraz got its reputation.
Green team has been captured and is being returned to the detainment zone.
The blue team is stuck in the wreck yard while the red team is just starting stage 3 in the ammunition alcoves.
In stage, our teams will have to rely on their physical prowess to find a boat key hidden beneath hundreds of pounds of ammo cases and sandbags.
Once they find that key they'll discover the third piece to The Great Escape key.
It's over there.
Come on there's nobody here.
This is it, right here.
Let's go.
We got to find the keys, right.
This is probably the big one.
We know there's a physical test and ammunition.
We just got in and we moved the bags.
The sandbags are like 30 pounds.
And then the ammunition things is bizarre to carry so you kinda have to bare your fingers in it pick the thing and it weighs 30 pounds and there's like 50 of them.
Ok, it's gotta be Be careful.
Look in the books.
Look in the books.
Nice, made me rip open the Bible.
Now you are going to hell.
The only thing we haven't took apart yet is this mattress.
Aimed by a guy any time and anywhere and that is where you hide all your stuff is in the mattress.
Even at home, where you hide your stuff is under the mattress.
There it is, there is.
Green team has escaped detainment zone.
Go now.
1192.
1192.
I'm watching as best as I can.
Come on, come on.
Go, go.
Blue team has completed stage 1.
We were like yeah, all right, this is our time, you know tortoise and the hare, hare gets off to a fast start, and tortoise is slow but they're going to catch up in the end.
And win the game so I'm thinking we're the tortoise here.
Come on.
Look it looks like the other red team was over there so I see a bag up there, and try to throw it up there on that chain.
Get it through the bars.
I almost got it.
If it's not in the middle I don't know where else it would be.
We're trapped in here.
I was so drained at that point I had moved every single sandbag off that pallet into the floor and I'm scraping like dirt off the floor and there's nothing there.
What if it's under that one.
It's not here, Meg.
- I found it.
- You found it? Let's go.
All right let's do this.
Oh my God.
Ready to the power plant.
Let's go.
Red team has completed stage 3.
As the red team begins to make their way across the island to the power plant, the green team is closing the gap.
And is entering the ammunition alcoves.
Go, go, go! Go! Come on! Somewhere down here man, it's gotta be down here.
Right here, right here.
Come on, come on.
All right, dude.
It's going to be under.
It's going to be under.
Make sure it's not in it.
Not in it.
Easy easy.
Damn keys.
There you go.
All right, put it down slowly.
Come on.
Here you go.
You've got it.
Keep going.
Go fast.
This is the quickest thing I can't believe we're this close.
You got it.
You got it.
Blue team has completed stage 2.
Let's move.
Let's move.
Stage four.
The red team has reached stage four the Alcatraz power plant located inside this old rusty building they must search and find a can of gas and the fourth and final piece of The Great Escape key.
The power plant was a big space and there was a lot going on like a lot that looked like it could potentially have gasoline in it and I didn't know if it was going to be the standard red canister.
- Did you check this? - No.
Nothing? Look in that right there.
Watch out.
Megan there's another passage this way.
It's not this though.
Do you see anything? The light.
Go through there.
You keep looking at this one and we are looking for the key.
You got it.
All right.
Give me that one.
Let's go, let's go.
Careful.
One more key right.
Yeah.
You feel the power-play now.
Ok.
So they have to go down there and use that one and go back up and down.
Green key has completed stage 3.
Careful.
- Go up here Meg.
- Ok.
Search over there.
You saw anything.
I found it.
- You got it.
- Yeah.
I'm coming.
You got it.
I can't get that up.
Let's do this.
We need the map.
Where we are? Over power plant.
We have to just go all the way down.
After a team successfully completes all four stages the user escape route map to find their way here the transport zone where they must use their completed great escape key to determine their final destination pier 3 and finally they will join an accomplice in a zodiac boat and race across San Francisco Bay to complete The Great Escape.
Come on Megan, keep up.
Red team has completed stage 4.
Look down here.
Yes.
Oh, man.
That's a lot of boxes.
Ammo and sandbags are not better.
It's like I'm moving.
Let's push it all the way.
Push everything over there.
This is it, dude.
We need to find gas cans.
Take a look there.
We're in the right building, right.
Yeah.
These are hard hats.
Maybe it's that way.
Just one can.
Yeah or so.
We need another piece don't we? It's going to be with it.
What it is.
I don't see no gas can.
We're looking to this power plant and we're zigzagging through this place and there was not much there and the like behind it we were getting frustrated.
Can we find that shit? As the race to escape from Alcatraz island heats up, the red team has completed stage 4 and is making their way to the transport zone.
The blue team is gaining ground while searching in the ammunition alcoves while the green team is struggling in the power plant to find their gas can.
Oh geez.
All right.
Gas can, gas can.
- Come on! - Nothing.
I'm missing something.
Right here, right here.
Get down, get down! Here, here, here.
I found the gas can in the ceiling, we got the final piece of the key.
Here we go.
Thinking we have a chance of maybe catching the red team so now it's do-or-die.
Green team has completed stage 4.
Keep going, go, go, go! We got on the boat and we had The Great Escape key but it was in pieces and we put it together and on it, it said San Francisco Pier 3.
San Francisco Pier 3.
It's on the right.
It's towards the bay bridge.
I think it's dry land.
It's got to be here.
Let's go, let's go, dude! San Francisco Pier 3.
There we go.
He can track him down.
They got lucky and they cheated and got disqualified.
I see it.
- You see it.
- Yep.
Here it is.
What's in it? Let's go.
Cool, another piece of the key.
Boat key.
We have to go stage four.
Gas cans.
Come on.
Are we on our way to $100,000? I don't know yet.
I'm laughing about that.
We gotta to be optimistic.
Yeah baby! Whoa! I'm coming for you! Whoa! I'm going to lose my mind! Yeah! Let's go! Let's go! It's right there! Yeah! All right! Congratulations.
You have successfully escaped Alcatraz island.
Yeah! You have something for me.
Yes, sir.
The Great Escape key.
All right.
Let's do this.
Yeah! After a long night of grueling challenges that got you through jail cells and guarded path ways and searching for hidden clues and finally a race across San Francisco Bay away from some the more famous location in America, you have won The Great Escape! Thank you! $100,000 richer! Yeah! We made it! It feels really good to be $100,000 richer.
I feel like since we've been through this together we'll be closer.
We beat other people like this.
We beat two guys, we beat a couple that is going to be married and that is a good feeling knowing this bond we have is stronger than most people.
Yeah! - Congratulations.
- Take that Alcatraz! Thank you.
As we're here giving you $100,000, here comes the green team! Those bastards are already there.
I know.
When we turn the corner there, and I saw the red team their smiles were this big which I envisioned ours would be, $100,000 to some people might not change their lives but I had a lot of good hopes and dreams.
It's tough.
I hate loosing.
Red team has won.
Red team has won! Red team has won! Damn! If I learned a little bit about myself because even though I was so hooked in to the game, I really didn't want to leave her behind.
And I really doubt that we were bigger than the game and even though I know she was hurt or a little bit discouraged I could pick her up and she came back up or when I felt discouraged she picked me up and we came back up together.
Hey, man, we just escaped from Alcatraz, we had a hell of an adventure dude.
It's like a super bowl.
Someone has to lose and today we lost.
Green team stop right there! When we got captured that second time, you know I kept thinking if it was like 10 seconds sooner, or 10 seconds later, it would have been a different outcome.
This is rough.
It's time to go forth with your money back into the world $100,000 richer.
Yeah! Not a lot of people get to go through this.
It was awesome.
You can't really put it in to words because that feeling rarely do you feel that feeling in life.
It's something to cherish.
It's a good thing.
Each week three teams of two will be taken to a different confinement, locked inside and race to be the first to escape.
The first team to break out and make it to me will win $100,000.
Welcome to The Great Escape.
My name is Britney and this is Gabe my fiancé.
We've been together for three years and we are definitely going to win because we need to.
What we're gonna do with the money is finally plan and prepare pay for our wedding.
Physically and mentally, I think we're very tough and we think outside the box and and whatever you put in front of us we're gonna do it.
I'm Dex.
This is Jeff.
We've known each other 13 years.
I have my MBA.
This guy knows like, mechanics.
He looks at it from one way and I look at it another and we meet in the middle.
Are we competitive? Yeah.
We both played sports our whole life so when the bells sounds we come out fighting.
I saw my competitions this morning.
Who is that? When I looked in the mirror.
We can only beat ourselves.
My name is Miles Stoner.
I'm from Dallas, Texas.
- This is my sister.
- Megan.
The family is very competitive.
It's gonna be difficult to stop both of us together.
Miles is really analytical where I'm very impulsive so I think him analyzing the situation and then my energy will be a good combination.
Our strongest as set is the communication factor because if he it's not gonna hurt my feelings.
This is probably the only time in my life where I am not prepared in a situation.
I have no idea what I'm about to be doing.
I'm expecting like a very uncomfortable situation and I think it will be kinda dangerous and scary.
Tonight one team is going to make history by being one of the first to break out of the confines with these infamous walls and make it to freedom.
Guards, remove their blindfolds.
First thing I did was just look around and realised this is, oh man, this is serious we're escaping.
Welcome to the rock.
Alcatraz island.
Perhaps the most feared and escaped proof prison in America.
Alcatraz is a shock when they took the blindfold and you look around, it's old school but it's just creepy at the same time.
It's definitely creepy.
We'll start here in the detainment cells.
Locked in one of these cells.
You must find a map of the escape route and the key somewhere in your cell to escape and using a map you work your way through four stages at each stage you'll be faced with a task that will challenge your mind, strength and ingenuity.
Overcome the challenge, it will advance you to the next stage and reveal a piece of The Great Escape key.
Once all four pieces are found, and the key is assembled, my whereabouts will be revealed.
First team that gets to me with the completed great escape key will unlock the box and instantly become $100,000 richer.
I probably have like $15,000, $16,000 in debt and I may be homeless in about two or three months.
The only way I lose is if I fail myself and it's just not in the cards without coming home with that money.
Now at various points during your escape you may encounter patrolling guards.
If you are caught, you will be escorted back here in the detainment zone where you must find a key somewhere in your cell to escape and return to the game at the same spot where you were captured.
This will cost you valuable time.
Don't get caught.
Remembering, this escape route map is the keys to your escape.
Guards, lock 'em up.
At the stroke of midnight, the escape is on.
Good luck.
What are you looking for? The map.
And the key.
We had to get the map and the key to get out.
We were just destroying everything.
Where is it! Right here.
Right here.
Right here.
We found a map there but we still have to find the key.
Where would you hide a key if you were a prisoner.
I don't get it where is the key.
Take everything off.
Found the map.
Found the key.
On the back of that.
Yeah, boy.
That one, that one.
That one.
Let's go, let's go! We have to feel where the hole is.
So where is the lock boxes.
This is the main cell block stage one of our contestant's race to freedom.
Our teams must use their skills to search for tools to break in to one of the free lock boxes located somewhere inside these cells.
What's in the lock box, a flashlight, a riddle and the first piece to The Great Escape key.
Come on, come on! Going around and trying to find the lock box and trying to avoid guards and there are guards inside.
Look at the box.
Look at the map.
Are we looking for a key.
Volume 4 page 143.
What are you doing? We need the key! I went into animal mode and it just threw me off a little bit because he picked up his book and I think this is a clue and he puts it in and I'm like dude, what are you doing, we're looking for a key.
Come on, come on.
Don't we need a fucking key to get out of this place? So far all teams have found their map but the blue team was the first to break out of confinement.
Leading red and green team trapped in their cells.
Fuck dude.
I picked up the guitar and something was inside there so what is the best thing to take out your frustration on a guitar.
You get it? I can't get my hand out there.
Grab that, there's a mirror.
A mirror? Your hands are too big.
Here we go.
We have to go before they come.
This is one way or the other.
You are right.
Come on, come on, come on! Dude! Where we going? Where we going? Go down and turn right.
Here you go.
You kidding me.
Other teams started moving around the cell block and it was discouraging for us but at the same time, we were like we've got to make it through and be careful don't come near me I I don't want to cut you on accident.
We're going to need some of these tools and I don't get it.
I think it's the cell.
Ok, look.
We have to find the tools.
Ok.
The tools in hand, teams must now locate their lock box in one of the 312 cells.
You look left I'll look right.
You look left I'll look right.
Are we going up here? Because these are open.
What are we looking for.
Dude, right here.
There's going to be a wrench.
We found it and we were like ah, the tools.
We have to get the wrench from downstairs.
It's definitely up there.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Come on.
I saw a pipe wrench.
Let's go, let's go.
There it is.
There it is.
Just stay here.
Miles saw from across the balcony into the other cell the lock box, it was good.
Right there! Right there! Where! There you go! Just don't throw it on the ground.
Red and green teams are on the second floor of block B.
And blue team is just opposite on the first floor.
This is going to take forever.
Can you get to it? Yeah.
Hit break the box open and we can grab what is in it.
Good job.
I beat the box until it got opened and we got the riddle so for the pad lockout in the wreck yard and the first pieces for The Great Escape key.
Take your time.
I think we got the lead.
As if breaking in the lock box wasn't hard enough, teams must now solve a riddle and the correct answer will open three identical padlocks located in the wreck yard.
Each team must open their own to successfully make it out to stage 2.
Once the lock has been opened that gate is off limits to the other teams.
The wreck yard combination is hours served 24 hours in a day.
So 49 days 16 hours.
We have to go to the wreck center.
Keep going.
Keep going.
There you go.
We got that lock box opened and we got really excite and there there was a riddle that had a math problem.
49 times 24.
And plus 16 and I'm not going to do that in my head.
What is in the wreck yard teams will have to avoid the prison spotlights as they capture by the guards and use the code that they have discovered to unlock the pad lock gate if captured they'll be taken straight to the detainment center.
If they can avoid the guards and open the gate they'll go right on to stage 2.
When we got to the wreck yard door we looked through.
You can see like spotlights.
So we kind of needed to like map the pattern out and make sure that we were gonna be able to get the pad lock but we needed to put in advance to the riddle.
Now, now.
Oh! They're going to follow me.
Stay here and duck down.
Stay here and duck down.
87, 88, 89.
90, 91.
What did you say? Ah, dude.
1102? Yep.
Come on.
Get out! Red team, stop.
The red team has been captured.
He killed it.
The red team has been captured.
The red team has been captured.
We're going for $100,000, let's rock 'n' roll and get out of here.
Let's go, dude! - You've got it.
- I'm opening it.
The blue team is currently working on getting the contents out of their lock box while green team is trying to find their way to the wreck yard where red team has been captured.
We drop all our things right here.
Red team must now drop all of their clues and tools as they are escorted back to the detainment zone.
Listen, listen.
Listen to me.
You are pulling it up here.
I think we're both strong minded.
Sometimes we just bump heads because we're used to being right.
Hold on.
I got it.
You just have to get out of here! Ok.
It's a different key.
No! We need to leave this room with the combination in our head.
I go you "got the number" he's like you got the number I'm thinking.
This isn't good.
Watch the light.
Come on, come on! Hurry up, hurry up! Moving in.
I feel it.
I feel it.
- You feel it? - Yeah.
I got a string.
You got it.
Oh my gosh, I feel like crying.
There's a riddle in here.
The riddle.
Wreck yard combo hours served So 24 hours times 49 days.
We need to figuring it out before we get there.
Finding the key was really difficult.
I grabbed the bar soap, and I was like, that's gross, and I threw it at him.
It's in the soap.
The soap hit my leg and I was like oh, nice Megan and the key was in the middle of it.
It was dumb luck, I guess.
Here, break it with that.
Right there.
Oh my God if I drop this key we're going to be here for a long, long time.
That's hard to turn.
You know what it is.
Don't say it out loud.
When we saw the red team walk up, it was like, we were already in a panic because I saw it for sure I had that number in my head, we see a red flash in front of us and we were like ok, these are the guys that we have to beat.
Red team has completed stage one.
Red team must now make their way to the administration building to start stage 2.
Leaving green team in second place stuck at the gate and blue team is trailing behind in last place working on their riddle.
We have to figure it out.
Let's figure this out first.
It's pitch black so we were thinking guards are gonna be laced throughout this area.
Let's go further that way.
Hey, guys.
Try it right now.
We saw the red team - and they were open like that.
- By them Opening that door first we had to go to the other door.
Are you kidding me! Damn it! For some reason, I mean, I had things every day.
It was just I was just thinking basics.
Nine times four.
What is up this number.
It's 1176.
You gotta carry the one from there.
So 1192.
It is like how do you forget something so simple as that.
Carry the one.
Here it is.
The green team has completed stage one.
They have to be quiet.
Let's go this way.
There's a car right there.
Under the light.
Under the light.
Blue team stop.
Blue team has been captured.
Red team stop right there.
The red team has been captured.
We're not getting busted.
There's someone up there.
When I saw the red team captured, we got serious, I turned in to ninja mode, like against the wall, and we had to wait and we we don't get captured, and we stay out of the light.
We go in to that building up there.
Going back to the cell I felt anger.
It took us forever to find that first key and I just I was a little discouraged.
I don't see any keys when we were It doesn't seem that big but it's gigantic.
There's someone up there, hey.
Ready, go.
Let's go, let's go.
In stage 2 this mental challenge will require some ingenuity using the tools around them teams will have to locate individual canvas bags containing a marine map and a compass it's also where they'll find the second piece of The Great Escape key.
Right here, right here.
There's this rope going to 10 or something like that and there is four little magnets in there.
Dude, yeah, yeah.
Almost instantly after that I saw oh, there's something there we have to fish out.
Slowly.
Just take your time, take your time.
Bring it in, bring it in, you've got it, you've got it take your time.
Grab it.
Grab it.
Here's the compass, here's the map.
Ok let's move on.
We were able to get the sack out and I pulled out the second part of the key which gave us even more boost like we were like This is it.
Green team has completed stage 2 and picking up a nautical map, a compass and the second part of The Great Escape key.
Now they must make their way to the ammunition goal coast to meet their next challenge.
Green team has completed stage 2.
They need to get caught.
Yeah, they do.
Are you all right? Dude, where are you going.
After we ran in to each other I was just so aggravated at that time because he kept telling me watch me, follow me.
Hey, dude.
The guard popped up, shut up, chill.
Take a breath.
We're going for $100,000 and I just I had to let out some frustration, some extra energy.
I'm trying to go slow, and you're running and you told me to go slow.
Say something, I don't know.
You're leading.
Give up.
Don't give up.
I'm not giving up.
Found it.
- You found it? - Yeah.
Do your thing.
Do your thing Meg.
Where the hell does this key here.
/// red team has escaped detainment zone.
He is coming and coming.
Green team stop.
Our timing just got off and we got confused where we were going and the guard had enough time to run his cycle and come back around and we got captured.
Green team has been captured.
Yes.
That's a freaking nice one.
Our teams are scattered throughout the guarded grounds of Alcatraz.
The red team is making their way to the administration building in stage 2.
The blue team is still stuck in the detainment zone and the green team has just been captured on their way to stage 3.
The green team is coming back.
Yeah.
Now roles are reversed before we saw the red team get captured and we're passing them and now we're captured.
We're coming down and they're passing us.
And it stung a little bit but we also realised we're going through the same things that they just went through and they're already back and we can do this.
We can get back fast.
There's a hole in the pictures.
Got it, got it.
You've got it.
Go, go.
Come on.
What is our game plan.
You got the map.
We have to go back, we have to go back there's a guard right there.
Do you remember the number? - Yeah.
- What is it? It was 1176 plus 16 so 1192.
Retrieve chart and compass in bag.
Where is the bag? You see.
At stage 2 we were in the administrative building and we were stumped.
I think it's gotta be over here somewhere.
Megan watch out! Oh my God.
Come on.
- Oh dude! - What? Go inside and get in there.
Yeah.
Here.
Put this thing right there.
Watch your head? Let me let me get that out.
Ok.
Come on, come on.
Let me do it.
Get it in there.
You got it.
Green team has escaped detainment zone.
Come on, come on.
Oh, here we go.
That's the sack right there.
All right, cool, here, just give me I know how to swing a kite.
He keeps hitting me.
We have to do it from a blow.
Got it.
Just bring the whole thing, we can open on the boat.
Red team has completed stage 2.
Go, go, go.
1192.
1192.
That's the green team there.
Damn it! Light, light, light, get the light! Go, go, you go back.
One at a time probably.
- Get my back.
- I'm looking.
Just hop on.
Get over here now.
There's one right behind you.
Right behind you.
Just look down.
Put the map out.
That's where we were.
That's where we're going.
We came out here and we've got to go to this one He is coming this way.
I think he's climbing on some kind of stairs.
There's another team.
It's the green team.
Right there.
The red team was only about 30 feet ahead of us but there was no hiding spots from the guards so we had to wait for them to move.
He is he's unprepared.
Let's go.
- Make a right and go down.
- Yeah.
I thought it was an advantage to the red team to be ahead of us at that point because they were exactly going the same way we were going so if we were following them, all we had to do was watch behind us and they would pretty much be our eyes ahead of us.
Be careful.
Stay back.
Whoa.
Come on.
The thing about stage 3, to get there, is zigzag back and forth plus you gotta watch out for these guards that are walking up and down and there was two of them walking like this so you have a lot of creeping and running and creeping, so that wears on your legs.
Let's go.
Be careful.
This is it baby! Be careful.
Come on, go, go, go.
Green team stop right there.
Everything happened in slow motion and it was like best moment ever and no.
That's cold, man.
The green team has been captured.
That's not us.
The green team has been captured.
I heard the green team got caught I'm like great.
We're gonna be kind of even.
Let's go.
As the night moves on, our teams are learning firsthand how Alcatraz got its reputation.
Green team has been captured and is being returned to the detainment zone.
The blue team is stuck in the wreck yard while the red team is just starting stage 3 in the ammunition alcoves.
In stage, our teams will have to rely on their physical prowess to find a boat key hidden beneath hundreds of pounds of ammo cases and sandbags.
Once they find that key they'll discover the third piece to The Great Escape key.
It's over there.
Come on there's nobody here.
This is it, right here.
Let's go.
We got to find the keys, right.
This is probably the big one.
We know there's a physical test and ammunition.
We just got in and we moved the bags.
The sandbags are like 30 pounds.
And then the ammunition things is bizarre to carry so you kinda have to bare your fingers in it pick the thing and it weighs 30 pounds and there's like 50 of them.
Ok, it's gotta be Be careful.
Look in the books.
Look in the books.
Nice, made me rip open the Bible.
Now you are going to hell.
The only thing we haven't took apart yet is this mattress.
Aimed by a guy any time and anywhere and that is where you hide all your stuff is in the mattress.
Even at home, where you hide your stuff is under the mattress.
There it is, there is.
Green team has escaped detainment zone.
Go now.
1192.
1192.
I'm watching as best as I can.
Come on, come on.
Go, go.
Blue team has completed stage 1.
We were like yeah, all right, this is our time, you know tortoise and the hare, hare gets off to a fast start, and tortoise is slow but they're going to catch up in the end.
And win the game so I'm thinking we're the tortoise here.
Come on.
Look it looks like the other red team was over there so I see a bag up there, and try to throw it up there on that chain.
Get it through the bars.
I almost got it.
If it's not in the middle I don't know where else it would be.
We're trapped in here.
I was so drained at that point I had moved every single sandbag off that pallet into the floor and I'm scraping like dirt off the floor and there's nothing there.
What if it's under that one.
It's not here, Meg.
- I found it.
- You found it? Let's go.
All right let's do this.
Oh my God.
Ready to the power plant.
Let's go.
Red team has completed stage 3.
As the red team begins to make their way across the island to the power plant, the green team is closing the gap.
And is entering the ammunition alcoves.
Go, go, go! Go! Come on! Somewhere down here man, it's gotta be down here.
Right here, right here.
Come on, come on.
All right, dude.
It's going to be under.
It's going to be under.
Make sure it's not in it.
Not in it.
Easy easy.
Damn keys.
There you go.
All right, put it down slowly.
Come on.
Here you go.
You've got it.
Keep going.
Go fast.
This is the quickest thing I can't believe we're this close.
You got it.
You got it.
Blue team has completed stage 2.
Let's move.
Let's move.
Stage four.
The red team has reached stage four the Alcatraz power plant located inside this old rusty building they must search and find a can of gas and the fourth and final piece of The Great Escape key.
The power plant was a big space and there was a lot going on like a lot that looked like it could potentially have gasoline in it and I didn't know if it was going to be the standard red canister.
- Did you check this? - No.
Nothing? Look in that right there.
Watch out.
Megan there's another passage this way.
It's not this though.
Do you see anything? The light.
Go through there.
You keep looking at this one and we are looking for the key.
You got it.
All right.
Give me that one.
Let's go, let's go.
Careful.
One more key right.
Yeah.
You feel the power-play now.
Ok.
So they have to go down there and use that one and go back up and down.
Green key has completed stage 3.
Careful.
- Go up here Meg.
- Ok.
Search over there.
You saw anything.
I found it.
- You got it.
- Yeah.
I'm coming.
You got it.
I can't get that up.
Let's do this.
We need the map.
Where we are? Over power plant.
We have to just go all the way down.
After a team successfully completes all four stages the user escape route map to find their way here the transport zone where they must use their completed great escape key to determine their final destination pier 3 and finally they will join an accomplice in a zodiac boat and race across San Francisco Bay to complete The Great Escape.
Come on Megan, keep up.
Red team has completed stage 4.
Look down here.
Yes.
Oh, man.
That's a lot of boxes.
Ammo and sandbags are not better.
It's like I'm moving.
Let's push it all the way.
Push everything over there.
This is it, dude.
We need to find gas cans.
Take a look there.
We're in the right building, right.
Yeah.
These are hard hats.
Maybe it's that way.
Just one can.
Yeah or so.
We need another piece don't we? It's going to be with it.
What it is.
I don't see no gas can.
We're looking to this power plant and we're zigzagging through this place and there was not much there and the like behind it we were getting frustrated.
Can we find that shit? As the race to escape from Alcatraz island heats up, the red team has completed stage 4 and is making their way to the transport zone.
The blue team is gaining ground while searching in the ammunition alcoves while the green team is struggling in the power plant to find their gas can.
Oh geez.
All right.
Gas can, gas can.
- Come on! - Nothing.
I'm missing something.
Right here, right here.
Get down, get down! Here, here, here.
I found the gas can in the ceiling, we got the final piece of the key.
Here we go.
Thinking we have a chance of maybe catching the red team so now it's do-or-die.
Green team has completed stage 4.
Keep going, go, go, go! We got on the boat and we had The Great Escape key but it was in pieces and we put it together and on it, it said San Francisco Pier 3.
San Francisco Pier 3.
It's on the right.
It's towards the bay bridge.
I think it's dry land.
It's got to be here.
Let's go, let's go, dude! San Francisco Pier 3.
There we go.
He can track him down.
They got lucky and they cheated and got disqualified.
I see it.
- You see it.
- Yep.
Here it is.
What's in it? Let's go.
Cool, another piece of the key.
Boat key.
We have to go stage four.
Gas cans.
Come on.
Are we on our way to $100,000? I don't know yet.
I'm laughing about that.
We gotta to be optimistic.
Yeah baby! Whoa! I'm coming for you! Whoa! I'm going to lose my mind! Yeah! Let's go! Let's go! It's right there! Yeah! All right! Congratulations.
You have successfully escaped Alcatraz island.
Yeah! You have something for me.
Yes, sir.
The Great Escape key.
All right.
Let's do this.
Yeah! After a long night of grueling challenges that got you through jail cells and guarded path ways and searching for hidden clues and finally a race across San Francisco Bay away from some the more famous location in America, you have won The Great Escape! Thank you! $100,000 richer! Yeah! We made it! It feels really good to be $100,000 richer.
I feel like since we've been through this together we'll be closer.
We beat other people like this.
We beat two guys, we beat a couple that is going to be married and that is a good feeling knowing this bond we have is stronger than most people.
Yeah! - Congratulations.
- Take that Alcatraz! Thank you.
As we're here giving you $100,000, here comes the green team! Those bastards are already there.
I know.
When we turn the corner there, and I saw the red team their smiles were this big which I envisioned ours would be, $100,000 to some people might not change their lives but I had a lot of good hopes and dreams.
It's tough.
I hate loosing.
Red team has won.
Red team has won! Red team has won! Damn! If I learned a little bit about myself because even though I was so hooked in to the game, I really didn't want to leave her behind.
And I really doubt that we were bigger than the game and even though I know she was hurt or a little bit discouraged I could pick her up and she came back up or when I felt discouraged she picked me up and we came back up together.
Hey, man, we just escaped from Alcatraz, we had a hell of an adventure dude.
It's like a super bowl.
Someone has to lose and today we lost.
Green team stop right there! When we got captured that second time, you know I kept thinking if it was like 10 seconds sooner, or 10 seconds later, it would have been a different outcome.
This is rough.
It's time to go forth with your money back into the world $100,000 richer.
Yeah! Not a lot of people get to go through this.
It was awesome.
You can't really put it in to words because that feeling rarely do you feel that feeling in life.
It's something to cherish.
It's a good thing.
