- [Phil] Previously on "The Amazing Race".
Five teams set out from Lalibela, Ethiopia,
and raced , miles to Colombo. Sri Lanka.
- [Kendra] I got to find a bathroom or I'm gonna puke.
- You okay, baby? [Kendra groaning]
- [Phil] Local food made Kendra sick,
but a ride on an elephant- [elephant trumpeting]
- All right, giddy-up. - Revived her spirit.
- [Kendra] They're just so docile and sweet.
I'm feeling much better.
- [Freddy] You're the master of pachyderms.
- [Phil] Adam and Rebecca ended up on the last train.
- We just lost the whole game. - And Adam wanted to quit.
- No, I wanna go back to the airport or something.
- I wanna go to the airport, 'cause he wants to go.
- [Phil] So Rebecca gave him a dose
of his own medicine. - Let's do it.
Come on, honey. - On the Detour,
Hayden floundered on a treetop rope walk.
- [Hayden] Aaron I'm scared [screams].
- [Phil] And faced her paralyzing fear of Heights.
- Good job. - I didn't think ,
I could stay on, And I was so afraid of falling [sobs].
- [Phil] But on the Roadblock.
- [Bolo] Go, baby, go,
- [Phil] Lori and Bolo missed a crucial detail.
- Take your admission ticket with you to the top.
- Oh, man!
- I dropped it, I dropped it.
- [Phil] When Lori forgot her ticket
on the -foot high Lion Rock.
- Here she comes. - Bolo,
bring me the freaking ticket!
- [Phil] But the damage was done.
- [Lori] Was in second, now we're in freaking last.
- And in the end,
they could not make up for lost time.
Lori and bolo, you both been eliminated from the race.
- [Phil] Now four teams remain,
who will be eliminated next?
[uptempo dramatic music]
[singer singing in a foreign language]
[uptempo dramatic music continues]
[tense traditional music]
- [Phil] This is Sri Lanka,
an island nation known as the Jewel of the Indian Ocean.
It's most well known feature, Lion Rock,
a giant rock towering above the jungle floor.
From here, teams had to make their way to this hotel.
The ninth Pitstop in a race around the world.
Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg
for a mandatory rest period.
The four teams waiting here have no idea
what's in store for them.
They have to figure out for themselves
how to get to the next yellow-and-red route marker
by solving clues they'll find in sealed envelopes.
Will Hayden an Aaron frustration with each other
affect their performance,
and will Adam and Rebecca's constant bickering
keep them in last place.
Kris and Jon,
who are the first to arrive at : AM
will depart at : PM.
[tense dramatic music] [envelope tearing]
- Fly to Shanghai. China.
- [Phil] Teams must now travel
more than , miles to Shanghai, China.
When they land, they'll have to make their way
to Yuyuan Garden and search the grounds for their next clue.
[tense traditional music]
- You have $ for this one, right?
- , , , let's go.
- Let's go, baby. - China, it is,
I think that Jon and I feel that the race
is getting more difficult as we continue on.
We have to really be at the top of our game.
Let's ask him how to get a taxi.
- Is there any taxis around here?
- Yes, sir.
- Thanks!@ - to the airport.
[envelope tearing] - Fly to Shanghai. China.
We're going to China. - Right, let's go.
- [Aaron] Hayden and I could be one of three teams
going for a million dollars, and we're almost there.
Hayden is very bullheaded.
It's her way or the highway,
we have to learn to come together.
- We're ready to go, please. [car engine roaring]
- Fly to Shanghai. China.
We have $ for this leg of the race.
- All right, great. - Freddy and I
have definitely gotten stronger.
The last four teams are super competitive,
and we've definitely gonna have to buckle down,
and stay focused, we are confident that we can do that.
- Colombo Airport, right? - Yep, exactly.
- [Driver] Okay.
[tense dramatic music] [envelope tearing]
- Fly to Shanghai. China.
Guess we're going to the airport.
Adam and I will not ever give up,
if we can just curb our arguing, and just pull it together.
I don't see why we couldn't win.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- [Translator] Yeah, yeah, I take you there for sure.
- Okay, okay. [tense dramatic music]
- We're kind of in a hurry, my friend.
- [Jon] As fast as possible please.
- Shanghai, China is supposed
to be a remarkably beautiful place.
- I wanted to go there since I saw Madonna and Sean Penn
in "Shanghai Surprise" [laughs].
- We have an Alliance in front of us,
Hayden and Aaron are just about a feet away
in another taxi.
We're gonna try and push ourselves to the front,
and push some of the other teams back.
- I love Chinese food. - But if we eat Chinese food
in China, it won't be Chinese food, it'll just be food.
- Right. [tense dramatic music]
- [Kris] Colombo Airport, we finally made it here.
[tense dramatic music] [people murmuring]
- [Jon] Should we just get our tickets?
- Can you tell us like the quickest flight into Shanghai is
- [Receptionist] Dragonair, : AM.
- Okay. - We wanna buy
that Shanghai flight. - Thank you.
- Have a nice flight. - We need to book that flight,
Shanghai. - We need to get
on the quickest flight possible.
- We need to get this. - Let's go, baby.
- Make sure we have two tickets to Shanghai.
Thank you very much. - Come on baby.
- [Adam] I'm gonna go to that ticket counter,
and I'm gonna buy some tickets.
- Just let me deal with it, honey.
- Oh no, give me it. - Please, please let me.
- You're really gonna piss me off.
Please stop it. [tense dramatic music]
Thank you. [plane engine roaring]
- [Phil] All teams are now making their way to Shanghai
via Hong Kong.
[tense traditional music]
[plane engine roaring] [tires screeching]
- [Jon] Baby, come on.
[tense dramatic music]
- [Aaron] Come on, group.
We need money.
- [Hayden] We're gonna go exchange our money,
while the other teams exchange money in Hong Kong.
Are you open, sir, are you open?
- Are you open? - You have to queue.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Taxi! [car engine roaring]
- Taxi, hey taxi. - All the way down there.
- The Singapore, is that worth more than the Us?
- Taxi? - Taxi?
Why isn't somebody getting it?
- [Jon] We're having a communication barrier,
especially with the taxi cab drivers.
- [Kris] It's not their fault, it's our fault.
We're in their country,
and we don't know how to communicate with them.
It's very frustrating.
- [Hayden] Which one will give us more yen?
- No, it's not yen, it's. - Or whatever it's called.
- Yuyuan Garden, okay, honey, after you.
- [Kendra] US is what in their money?
- Well, that's like bucks.
The poor little ones.
They're so clueless and lost.
Rebecca attaches herself to somebody,
and just watches everything they do,
and does the same thing.
And then, I mean, they've gotten this far [laughs].
I mean, poor Adam is not assertive enough
to do it on his own. - Rebecca, this way.
- [Rebecca] Taxis, it's all right, honey.
- How much US dollars? - About US dollar.
How about , can you do it for ?
- , .
- [Jon] All let's go.
- Taxi, taxi. - Taxi, let's go.
- [Rebecca] Yuyuan Garden.
- Thank you very much. - Thanks.
- [Hayden] Aaron, we have to call a taxi.
- Yuyuan. - Yuyuan.
- . - We won't pay that much.
- [Hayden] Honey, there's a cab, ask him.
- You're so sexy. - Yeah?
- Yeah [laughs]. - Yeah, you too.
- We left exactly hours ago, so it was a long trek.
- Kris and Jon, and Freddie and Kendra
were all packed together.
I don't know where Hayden and Aaron went.
- Hayden and Aaron went to exchange money.
- [Aaron] Yuyuan Garden, ?
? - Aaron, he's ripping us off.
- This is ridiculous. - Oh, shut up, Hayden.
- The other teams b*at us out by like minutes.
Aaron, we got ripped off.
You get ripped off, when you give cab drivers money,
and I'm not gonna allow to happen anymore.
We don't have any money,
and you know who has to go ask for it,
and make an ass out of themselves?
I do.
If you wanna start going up and asking everybody for money.
- Shut up, baby, just be quiet right now.
No more. - Don't tell me
to shut up, Okay? - No more, no more.
[tense dramatic music]
- [Freddy] Yuyuan Garden, I don't know.
Let's go inside here and ask.
- Freddy, what's up?
- Oh, we're lost [chuckles].
[tense dramatic music]
- [Adam] Now, there's a hotel.
Are they going to ask, what's the deal?
- [Rebecca] I don't know, this is it.
- [Jon] Hello, I'm looking for Yuyuan Garden.
- It's close. - We can walk?
- Two minutes by walk. - Okay, okay.
- [Kris] Okay, he said two-minute walk.
- [Jon] Two-minute walk.
- [Freddy] Let's go.
[tense dramatic music]
- We just went around in a circle.
We're coming back out to this main road, aren't we?
- [Freddy] She said two minutes walking.
- [Kendra] Go down the ghetto street.
- [Kris] She said straight down, babe.
- [Jon] Yeah, straight down. and then around the corner.
- [Kendra] Excuse me, do you know where Yuyuan Garden is?
- Show him the map, show him the map.
- Go, yes, all the way down, end of street.
- Keep going, keep going.
[uptempo dramatic music]
- We're moving into the Harlem of Shanghai [laughs].
- English? - Well, do we ask somebody?
- [Kris] Jon's trying to-
- Okay, good luck. - But there seems
to be a communication barrier. [Adam and Kris laughing]
- We weren't, he passed by it, and you didn't say anything.
- Hayden, just wait. - We're somewhere in Shanghai
in some scary little alley with scary men.
The Meter is ticking. - I will say, yes.
I know now that. - Okay.
- It's gotta be right in there.
- I think it's right in here. - I think it's down here.
- You guys, I think it's here,
- [Rebecca] But there's nothing there, Adam.
- [Adam] No, I think maybe we go around the corner.
- [Aaron] Okay, stop, stop.
- [sighs] We're lost. - Make him stop.
- Stop. - Get out.
Ask if anyone speaks English, and you deal with this,
before I hyperventilate.
- Well, let's keep looking. ♪ Cruising down the streets
♪ Of Shanghai - This is so cool.
- [Hayden] The Yuyuan Garden entrance?
- [Aaron] This is the garden.
- Oh, this, Americans over there.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Hey, you guys! - Yuyuan Garden ticket office.
Business hours, : to :.
- [Freddy] The place is closed,
and doesn't open until the morning,
and we're trying to see if we can get a hotel room
for the night. - We're back.
We're checking in. - Check in?
- Yeah. [tense traditional music]
- Two please. - Two.
- Thank you. [tense dramatic music]
- [Hayden] Come on.
- [Kris[ All right, baby.
- [Jon] This place is like a million different directions.
- [Kris] How do you wanna go, baby?
- [Jon] I don't know [chuckles].
This place is incredible.
- Adam. - Yeah?
Rebecca, come here.
- [Hayden] Excuse me.
Come on.
No, let's go back.
- [Adam] Think we have to stay this way.
- [Freddy] There's a cluebox right there.
[tense dramatic music] [envelope tearing]
- [Kendra] "Make your way to Yincheng Road
in the area of Pudong."
- [Phil] Teams must now find a taxi
to take them to Yincheng Road,
An area of Pudong.
Once there, they must search the area
around who Huaneng Tower for their next clue.
- "Caution, Yield ahead," let's go.
- [Kendra] We gotta find a taxi.
- Hm, look back over here.
Babe. - Let's go, it's inside here.
- "Make your way to Yincheng Road in the area of Pudong."
Yield ahead. - Okay, let's go.
[tense dramatic music]
- Is the cluebox down there? - Hey Hayden, it's over here.
[tense dramatic music] [envelope tearing]
- [Hayden] "Make your way to Yincheng Road
in the area of Pudong," come on [pants].
[tense dramatic music]
Excuse me, taxi, are you available?
No?
[both panting] [tense dramatic music]
- [Jon] Hi, we're going to Yincheng Road.
- No, no. - No, please, please, please.
- Why not, is he too small?
- I don't know why he said no.
TaxI, Huaneng Union Tower? - You fast?
- Okay, all right.
- Wait up, honey, Adam!! - Other way, other way.
- Damn it. - Can't go through.
- There's the cluebox. - There it is, there it is,
let's go.
[envelope tearing]
Yield. - We're so yielded.
We're so yielded.
We yielded Freddy and Kendra,
now I kind of wish we hadn't, this is not good.
- [Hayden] You guys gotta use your Yield?
- Yield ahead. - Yes.
- [Hayden] Okay, go, there's a taxi right there, go get it.
- Taxi! - Taxi, no?
- Taxi! - Taxi!
- Taxi! - All these taxis are taken.
- Taxi, right there, right there.
No, no, oh dammit. [tense dramatic music]
- Can you go fast, thank you.
- We need tog et in a Taxi immediately.
- [Rebecca] Can we get in?
- Stupid, you were on the wrong side of the street.
- Will you stand out in the road, and call a cab for me?
Will you say taxi?
Taxi! [people murmuring]
- We have not moved in like five minutes.
- Does anybody speak English? - Stop getting mad, it's rude.
- I'm not mad, I'm yelling. - It comes off rude.
- [Hayden] Or are they not stopping because I'm American.
Why won't they stop?
[speaking in a foreign language]
- To say they speak English, can you hear that?
- [Freddy] We got one.
- [Hayden] Aaron, they got someone to stop.
I don't know what to do.
We flagged down empty taxis and they would not stop.
I'm not sure if they're just discriminating against us,
or if there's something about the taxi service
that we don't quite understand.
- Pullover taxi, can we get in your car, we need a ride.
- No. - I can't take you.
- [Hayden] We pay lots,
this is absolutely freaking ridiculous, taxi!
- [Rebecca] It's emergency, you can't, why?
- [Adam] What is this, Rebecca, let's go, taxi, taxi!
- [Rebecca[ Hey Sir, can we get in your taxi?
Okay Aaron, come on.
- [Hayden] Sir, do you know where this is?
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Okay, okay.
Okay.
- Nobody will take us. - Get money out,
get money out. - It doesn't matter.
- Why? - Because they're obviously
not driven by money.
Some other force working here.
- Damn it. [tense dramatic music]
[tense dramatic music]
- [Rebecca] There's a taxi.
Just pick someone out.
- [Adam] They've all got people in it.
Taxi, taxi, taxi, yes?
Please, Rebecca, give me some money.
- You drive us.
- Please, we pay. - We'll pay you.
Thank you, thank you, okay, get in.
[driver speaking in a foreign language]
- Okay. - Whatever.
[tense dramatic music]
- There's a Yield ahead, and Freddy and Kendra,
They'll totally use it on us if they get there ahead of us.
But our cab driver is our worst nightmare.
[tense dramatic music]
- [Freddy] Kris and Jon are a really strong team,
and we thought about Yielding them,
but Adam and Rebecca needed to pay back.
- We need to make him wait for us,
because it was so hard to get a cab last time.
- [Kendra] This is not it, oh yeah, it is.
- [Freddy] Search around the base for the clue.
- [Kendra] Come on, let's go.
- Wait here. - Five minutes.
- Wait here for us. - Five minutes.
- [Hayden] Where is it, Aaron?
- Yes.
Yes. [tense dramatic music]
- This is the third and last Yield
on the entire race.
At this specific spot.
One team can force any other team to Yield,
that is stop racing for a predetermined amount of time.
Teams can exercise their Yield power only once
during the race.
So they need to decide when it's most advantageous
to go for it.
Any team that's being forced to Yield
must turn this hourglass upside down,
and wait for the sand to run out
before they continue on.
- Who are we gonna Yield? - No, I wonder who.
- [Freddy] Those two, or you can Yield Kris and Jon.
- [Kendra] We'll yield these two.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
- [Freddy] We yield Adam and Rebecca.
I want them to taste it. [Kendra laughing]
- [Kendra] We wanted to get Rebecca and Adam back
for them yielding us in Ethiopia.
- We are gonna get yielded
if Freddy and Kendra are in front of us,
we are definitely % getting yielded.
[car horns honking]
- Should we just run a bit? - We can run to where?
- I don't know. [envelope tearing]
- [Freddy] Roadblock.
- A roadblock is attach that only one person may perform
and no person can do more than six on the entire race.
In this Roadblock, that person has to make their way
to the top of this -story skyscraper,
sit on a window-washer's chair,
and lower themselves to the marked window below.
Then they'll have to wash the glass
until they reveal a written message.
When they think they know what the message is,
they must lower themselves to the ground,
and tell a supervisor the message to receive the clue.
- "It's stories high, but someone has to wash it."
You have to wash it.
- [Kendra] "Make your way to the top of HuaXia Bank Tower."
Where is it, is it that one? - Yeah, I think so.
- [Kendra] We got to get a taxi over there then.
- [Freddy] Does he know, okay, he knows.
- [Kendra] I decide to do the Roadblock.
I have such a strong fear of heights,
but I wanna be able to face my biggest fears head on.
- [Freddy] This will be no problem for you.
- [Hayden] You know where to go?
- [Aaron] Hey, Hayden, let's go over here.
- [laughs] Roadblock.
I don't know if I can do it. - I'll do it.
"Tell the supervisor what the message is,
and you'll receive your next clue.
Man, that's so high up.
[tense dramatic music]
- We've been driving for way too long.
[Kris sighing]
[Driver speaking in a foreign language]
- This is it, here, okay.
Thank you, thank you [speaking in a foreign language].
- Oh, it's right here. - Let's run, come on.
- I'm sure. It's right in front of us,
and we just don't see it. - Let me see the clue!
- Don't yell at me. - Let me see the clue.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hello? - Once there,
take an elevator up all the way to the top.
Good luck baby. - You see anything?
- No. - Adam's coming right now,
and I'm hiding behind the Palm Tree.
This says around, not in.
I can't imagine it would be inside.
- [Hayden] I'm gonna go run somewhere else.
- Is that the tower?
Look at that, wow. - God, we should have walked.
This is the biggest waste of time I've ever seen.
I hailed a taxi, He took us to the back of the building.
Baby, good luck, I love you. - Okay, I love you.
[slow relaxing music]
[uptempo dramatic music]
- [Aaron] What's up, Chris, I'm Aaron.
- [Chris] We're gonna hop into the harness.
- You know this tower, yes? - No, still in Shanghai.
- I don't even think this guy knows where he's going, man.
- I don't either, dude.
- Like this, you'll be okay. - Are you ready?
- Okay. - It sucks so bad.
- [Adam] I see it, come on, come on.
Well, we're yielded, damn it.
Thanks Freddy. - Turn it over, flip it over.
- Look at this view, I can't even look at it.
I do have a great fear of heights.
When I'm on top of a building and I look down,
I can feel the bottoms of my feet tingling.
[Kendra whimpering] - Release the brake, feed it.
Release the brake, feed it
- My God, where is the window?
- Just below the red tape. - Oh my gosh.
That's so high. [Hayden whimpering]
- Come on, honey, where are you?
Where are you, honey?
- Can I have a hug before I go?
- Okay, well done, good luck.
[squeegee squeaking]
- Well she's not over the edge yet, which is scary to me.
I hope she's okay, she's dreadfully afraid of heights.
- Damn. - We can't take the clue
until this, correct? - Correct.
- [Kris] It's right, it's right there.
- [Jon] Freddy and Kendra yielded Adam and Rebecca.
- [Kris] I'm glad it's not us.
Dude, Let's go. - Okay, Honey.
- Well there we go.
- That's good. - Okay, stop, stop.
Dude, you suck.
- That's the first time I've ever seen 'em get upset.
- Roadblock. - "HuaXia Bank Tower
is stories high, but someone has to wash it!
- Can you do this? - Yes, I can do it.
- All right, I think this is it right here.
- All right. - Dude,
our taxi driver sucked!
- That was the first time I've ever seen any emotion
out of Jon.
[Kendra whimpering] [tense dramatic music]
- [Freddy] Yeah, come on baby.
[squeegee squeaking]
- This is not strategy, this is revenge,
and this is personal.
One of us kissed their ass for being stupid.
- What?
[tense dramatic music]
Tai Chi?
- [Chris] You're good to go.
- [Rebecca] Honey, I have to do it.
You have five Roadblocks, I have three.
I'm gonna do the Roadblock. - I wish I could be closer
to them to see if Kendra's crying or not.
- [whimpers] The wind's blowing!
- [Jon] I gotta stay outside the building.
- Okay. - Good luck, have fun.
- [Aaron] This is so cool.
[Hayden whimpering]
- [Kendra] It's not squeegeeing.
I can't read a single word.
[Aaron giggling]
Tai Chi? [tense dramatic music]
- Tai Chi, thank you, sir.
- Baby. Good job, was it scary?
- What? - Could I have done that?
- No. - Where are they?
- [Rebecca] They're already at the bottom.
They repelled down.
- I want Freddy to hear too,
so that he knows.
- "Make your way to the Monument to the People's Heroes
on The Bund.
- [Phil] Teams must now find
the Monument to the People's Heroes
on Shanghai's most popular mile, The Bund.
Once, there teams will have to find this group
of Tai Chi performers,
and search through the group
for one of four masters holding their next clue.
- Okay, let's go, where's Kendra.
- Okay. - Was she having any trouble
at all? - No, she just got up there
when I was going down. [Kendra whimpering]
- [Chris] Feet shoulder-width apart.
- Thank you for not yielding us.
- I had payback.
- We yielded them, they yielded us.
- You're being shortsighted.
You're not. - I understand.
- You're not looking at the whole picture.
- Listen to me. - No, you don't, you do-
- I understand that it was not a smart move on their part.
Strategy wise, Freddy and Kendra
should have yielded Kris and Jon,
'cause they are much stronger players.
- Oh my God.
Don't look down. Kendra.
As I was going down, the wind would blow.
It was definitely frightening.
[tense dramatic music]
- [Freddy] She's doing great.
- I don't like it when the wind.
[tense dramatic music]
- That's so high up there.
She's probably freaking out,
but she's loving it at the same time.
You're doing great, keep coming.
Are you okay? [both laughing]
What's the clue. - Tai Chi.
- Make their way to the Monument to the People's Heroes
on The Bund. - They're stupid
for being smart people, they're stupid.
- Ready? - Yeah, do we have a cab?
- Yeah, this morning, it was very tough to get a taxi,
because it was rush hour,
now it's no problem.
You're so tough, honey, you're so tough.
- I did it, but the look on my face was like sheer terror.
- [Jon] She's gonna do great.
- T-A-I, Tai Chi.
I'm good to go.
- [Adam] I hope Kris and Jon kick their ass.
- You wanna yell at me some more, you wanna yell
at me some more? - No, I wanna yell at Freddy
and Kendra, because they're stupid.
- [Rebecca] Then, why are you yelling at me?
- I'm a talker. - We're done.
Why are we arguing?
[tense dramatic music] [envelope tearing]
"The HuaXia Bank Tower is stories high,
but someone has to wash it!"
That would be Rebecca. - Stories, it's feet.
- I've got it on the map, I know exactly where it is,
It's to the north. - he Monument
to the People's Heroes - Let's go, dude.
[uptempo dramatic music]
- Dude, that's so high up there.
- I know. - Feet.
- Good luck with that. - Thank you, thank you.
- You all right? - Yeah. Are you surprised?
- Okay. - Were you surprised
they yielded us and not you.
- I knew it was gonna be one of the two of us.
[tense dramatic music] - My mouth is dry.
It must be nerves.
It's such a high place.
It makes your stomach go up into your mouth, it's horrible.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Nice job. - Thanks.
[Jon giggling]
- Tai Chi, Tai Chi, Thank you.
Come here.
- Make their way to the Monument to the People's Heroes
on The Bund.
You rock. - Okay.
- [Aaron] Start looking for a group of people doing Tai Chi.
- It's up here, you see?
- Please hurry, no, no, no.
[tense dramatic music]
- Oh, this is it. - This is it.
- Can you wait here for us? - Yes.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- [Rebecca] I gonna k*ll myself doing this.
- Rebecca has a fear of heights I'd say,
it's real high up there, but the only thing
is it's very windy.
- Ah, Adam [grunts]! [tense dramatic music]
- Hopefully, the wind will die down a little bit,
or she's gonna go flying.
- Oh my God. - We're definitely
a good ways behind.
So unless somebody gets really lost, we're in trouble.
- Ah! [tense dramatic music]
[tense dramatic music]
- [Adam] I don't think she could do it.
- Where's the squeegee?
[tense dramatic music]
- English, English? - No.
Okay. - On The Bund,
so that must be end of the river?
- We yielded the little ones, Adam and Rebecca
for a little, little payback.
- As fast as possible.
Freddie and Kendra should have yielded us.
It was strictly revenge thing from Freddy's ego.
- [Kris] We got lucky.
- Should we have yielded Kris and Jon?

- I don't know.
- We have to find the masters for our next clue.
- How do we ask 'em. - Do some Tai Chi on 'em,
or something [laughs]. - Oh [laughs].
Can you handle that? - Do you speak English?

When the girl comes down, can you tell him where to go?

"Using the enclosed map, make you way to the end

approximately three miles to Jiangpu Road.
At the end of the road, teams will find their next clue.
- [Hayden] Okay, let's go.
- Jiangpu Road? - Yeah.
- [Kendra] Come on baby. We gotta find the Tai Chi people.
- [Freddy] Check The Bund, whatever that means.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Thank you, thank you, tell him fast.
- [Freddy] Here we go, honey, it's right here.
Start at one end.
- [Kendra] Sir, do you have the clue?
You have the clue?
- [Jon] Hi.
- Sir, do you have the clue? - Yes.
[Freddy and Hayden laughing]
- Thank you. [uptempo dramatic music]
Thank you.

- So we got to go down that way, we can take a taxi.
- All right. - Tai Chi?

- Fast, fast, fast, please, we're in a race.
- He doesn't understand fast, Rebecca.
- [Kendra] Yes.
- It's just across this bridge and to the right.
- [Aaron] Sir, I'm sorry, you have to go fast.
- Can you go faster, please. - You have to go fast.
- [Hayden] We're in a hurry.
- [Kris] There's a bunch of people doing stuff.
- [Jon] That's gotta be it down there.
- Yeah. [uptempo traditional music]
- [Jon] Which ones are the masters?
- [Kris] How do we ask?
- Do you have a clue? - No.
- Are you a master?
- Excuse me, sir, do you have a clue?

Thank you, Jiangpu Road.
Okay, let's go. - All right.
[Jon whistling] - Hail a taxi.
- We need to go here. - Jiangpu Road.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- So he's cool, he sounded like he knew where he was going?
- Who knows, honey?
Bicycles are passing us,
I just hope that we get there in a timely fashion.
[tense dramatic music]
- [Adam] Now, you're looking for the wall, remember?
- Okay. - I don't see the wall.
- Okay, okay, maybe up here.
- A big stone wall, we can't miss it.
- [Hayden] Up here, can you wait here for us?
Is the cluebox down there?
[tense dramatic music]
- Detour.
[tense dramatic music]
- A detour is a choice between two tasks,
each with its own pros and cons.
In this detour, teams have to choose
between one of two things commonly found in China,
the choice, bricks or ice.
In bricks, each team member
must use a traditional device to carry clay bricks
off this barge while balancing on a single wood plank.
From there, they'll have to stack the bricks
onto a wooden pallet to receive their next clue.
Carrying the bricks will take a lot of strength,
but teams will know exactly where they're going,
and can finish as fast as their muscles will allow.
In ice, teams will load two pound blocks of ice
onto the back of flatbed tricycles,
and deliver them to this little known fish market,
four streets away.
Then they'll have to break the blocks into smaller pieces,
and place them inside a tub to receive their next clue.
Transporting the ice will not require a lot of strength,
but finding this market, and breaking up the ice
could take a long time.
- I can carry lots of bricks. - Okay, you think the bricks,
if your gut tells you bricks, we'll do bricks.
The ice walks sounded very complicated,
so we chose to do the bricks.
- [Kendra] This place is unbelievable.
- [Freddy] I know it's so far away from what we know.
- [Kendra] Oh, I love it.
[car horn honking]
- [Jon] Just go around there, okay?
- No, not okay. - Oh my god.
[tense dramatic music]
- There. - Wait for me.
- [Adam] Come on.
- [Rebecca] One of the masters,
we have to look for the person that's leading/
Who looks like a master, this looks like a master to me.
Master. - No clue.
Men are masters, men.
Master? - No.
- [Adam] Rebecca, Rebecca.
- Master. - Master?
- You look like my yoga teacher.
Okay, thank you.
Jiangpu Road.
- [Adam] Walking or taxi?
- That way.
- Do you know? - Yeah?
- Yes, okay. - It's good, perfect.
- [Rebecca] Okay.
[uptempo dramatic music]
- We can do it. - Yep.
- I'm strong. - Yep.
- [Hayden] Hello?
Okay, where's he going right.
- Right here, honey?
"Carry bricks from a brick barge
to a marked stacking area."
- Aaron, how many do you think I can carry?
Is this too much for me? - No, you carry about .
[tense dramatic music]
- [Freddy] We gotta go to the end.
Let's get our things and let's run.
Nope. [tense dramatic music]
Right here? - Show him the map again.
- [Jon] He'll go right there.
Where is it? - Oh my gosh.
- [Jon] It's back that way.
- [Kris] It's just so difficult to communicate.
We're having a tough time with this one.
- Cluebox. [tense dramatic music]
It's a Detour. - Detour.
- Bricks or ice.
- Let's do the bricks.
- [Aaron] Okay, go up, go up, go up, go up.
- [Hayden] Aaron, that's too heavy.
I don't think I can do this.
[tense dramatic music]
Aaron. - Yes, I got you.
- Aaron! - Let's go.
- Aaron! - Yes.
- [Hayden] You're so much taller than me.
Go to the right, it's there. - Good job.

Thank you.
[both grunting]
[tense dramatic music]
- You're kidding me, dude.
You went the wrong way?
Where were you taking us?
Okay, we gotta go, fast, fast, fast.
- I hope someone's cab got lost.
- I hope Freddy and Kendra are.
Nevermind what I hope?
- Straighten the brick so that they're on there nice,
and we don't lose 'em.
[tense dramatic music] [bricks clanking]
- Can we go please? - We have to go,
we have to go. [tense dramatic music]
- [Hayden] Aaron, where are you?
- Aaron? - You're good, you're good.
- No, I'm not good, now help me.
Okay, I can move about a mile a fricking hour.
[all laughing]
- [Freddy] Okay, those are your two, can you do that?
- Yeah. - Okay, you got it, honey?
Honey, just- - Honey, he's showing me!
You don't know how to do it.
He says, okay, okay, okay, he took us like blocks

T- Keep your eyes open for this.
- [Hayden] Aaron, Aaron help me walk down.
My balance is terrible.
Uh.
- [Aaron] Keep it slack, keep it slack, keep it.
- Aaron, shut up.
I'm carrying as much weight as you,
and you weigh pounds.
Geez, this is fricking heavy, ah.
[tense dramatic music]
- You're doing great, baby.
- [Hayden] We should be at .
- You know how many this is, honey?
- [Kendra] , go get those, honey.

- We're almost there. - Stop, stop, stop right here.
Pull over here, here.

Where were you going?
Where were you taking us?

That's it? - Yes, that's it.

Make you way to the Pit Stop.
- Teams must now travel nearly three miles
to the roof of the Peace Hotel South.
This landmark building overlooking the City of Shanghai
is the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
- Yes. - Let's go, where's our guy?
[speaker speaking in a foreign language]

You're dead meat.

the same time that Jon and Kris did,
those two work efficiently.
They could easily pass them, get a decent cab ride,,

So last place is up for grabs.

Damn Freddie and Kendra.
[tense dramatic music]

It's so beautiful.

we're gonna b*at Freddy and Kendra.
I could tell you that much.

- [Kris] I know, I know.
- What are you gonna do?
[tense dramatic music]
- Kris and Jon,
you're team number three.
- All right. - Oh my gosh.
- I hope I didn't scare you.
- Our taxi driver scared us today.
- [Kris] Yeah, it's a rough day, it's okay, we're okay.
- It's a rough day for transportation,
[tense dramatic music]
- Okay, give it to us.
- Adam and Rebecca,
you're the last team to arrive.
I'm pleased to tell you, however,
this is a non-elimination leg,
and you're still in the race. [lips smacking]
- Still doesn't feel good to hear.
You've been, you're last.
That still sucks. - First time in this game.
- I have got some bad news.
- Yeah, you want all my money?
- I want all your money.
- [Adam] See, we should have stopped for dinner on the way.
- [Rebecca] I was gonna give the cab driver a big tip.
- So you will be starting the next leg of the race
with zero money, absolutely nothing,
and that is gonna be a bit of a challenge here,
I think, in this country.
All right, guys, get some rest, you're gonna need it,
and good luck getting out of here with no money.
- [Rebecca] I do feel Adam and I wrecked our team
purely based on our inability to communicate.
- [Adam] Rebecca and I have to come to peace
with each other.
We're gonna have to have the best leg we've had yet.
No question.
- [Rebecca] We're just as capable as the other teams,
although we have yet to prove that [laughs].
