Original subtitles

Phil Keoghan: Previously on "The Amazing Race" --

5 teams set out from the Khwai River Lodge in Botswana

and raced more than 5,000 miles to Lucknow, India.

Rob and Amber teamed up with Ron and Kelly.

Rob: We need to have 4 tickets.

Can we do it now before the other teams come back?

Thank you.

Phil: While the other 3 teams--

Formed an alliance of their own.

And that's really the bottom line.

Phil: Once in Lucknow, tensions escalated between Ron and Kelly.

Ron, come and stay with me.

Let's get on the cycle rickshaw and get moving.

I disagree with that, Ron.

But I'll go and do it

but I'll make it known I disagree with it.

Who's Rashafey?

Phil: Rob got feisty with the locals.

Are you Rashafey or are you?

Don't try to pull a fast one like that again.

I don't know what to do.

Phil: Gretchen grappled with the tough roadblock.

Come on, Gretchen!

Just exasperating.

I can be in here for a week.

Phil: Then the retired couple were mobbed by adoring locals.

Thank you.

Phil: Front-runners Rob and Amber

checked into what they thought was a pit stop.

You guys probably think this is the end of the leg.

What?

Phil: But instead they received a twist.

This leg is not over.

5 teams remain.

Who will be eliminated next?

Rob and Amber, welcome to Lucknow.

You guys probably think this is the end of the leg.

I don't want to hold you up.

I have your other clue. You're still racing.

Oh, Phil!

Route info-- "Make your way to the train station across the street."

Phil: Teams must now make their way

across the street to the Lucknow train station

and find platform 2,

where they will have to board a train

and wait to receive their next clue.

Across the street.

We have to go to the train station.

At the end of platform 2.

How much farther?

Ron and I received the clue,

and it tells us to find the flats,

and that Phil's going to be there,

so we're thinking pit stop, pit stop.

Ron: Good grief.

Ron and Kelly, this leg is not over yet.

Whoa.

I have your next clue.

You guys are still racing.

Come on, babe.

"Make your way to the train station

at the end of platform 2."

Phil: Uchenna and Joyce,

I'm sorry to tell you that this leg

is not over yet, and I have your next clue.

Whoa!

What a trick.

OK. We're crossing the street

to the train station.

Phil said, "You've got to keep going."

Here's another clue." We're like, "What?"

Railroad car at the end of platform 2.

Lynn and Alex. Yes?

This leg of the race is not over yet.

I have your next clue.

Oh, God.

Oh, no.

Alex and I are freaking out

that this leg is not over

because it's been going on for days and days.

This just sucks.

Just get the last one.

Gretchen, we only need one.

Hallelujah.

We give him 2 cups of tea.

Thank you.

Take it back this way. Watch yourself.

Thank you very much.

"Make your way to Phil and the mat."

Let's try to get a taxi.

Come on, sweetie.

Let's just go in this way.

OK.

"Charbagh Flats."

He says come with him.

Gretchen: The people of India have been so inspirational,

and these people, no matter what they have,

have been willing to help us.

Oh, yeah.

He was pretty cute, the one that was helping us.

Got to be here.

Upstairs?

Number 2. Left.

Take the stairs over? OK.

Platform 2.

Yeah.

There you go.

We have been bringing up the rear ever since we got here.

We're praying that we're still in the race.

Let's go to the roof.

Meredith and Gretchen,

your race is not over yet.

This is your next clue.

Are you a little shocked?

Oh, my God.

"Make your way across to the train station

and board marked car at the end of platform 2."

All right?

Give it everything you've got.

Keep going.

And when we got to the mat

and were given a clue rather than

an announcement that we had been eliminated,

we were so joyful that we could continue on.

"Boarding at 2100." What time is it now?

It's like 1:00.

The train is not boarding until 9:00 at night

so pretty much guaranteed

every team's going to be tied up again.

What's the deal?

You'll figure it out.

The train boards at 9:00.

9:00 P.M.?

Boarding at 2100 hours.

We've just got to wait.

Notice, platform 2.

Where are we going?

We don't know.

Look, sweetheart. Boards at 21:00,

we've got all the time in the world.

Everybody's right there, hon.

I love Joyce's headscarf.

Work that scarf.

Alex and I have a loose alliance

with Joyce and Uchenna and Gretchen and Meredith.

Joyce: Ron and Kelly,

Rob and Amber are sticking together.

I'm sure it's a short alliance,

because believe me, Rob will do whatever he can

to get to that mat first.

We're ready for this train,

and we still have no clue as to where we're going,

how long it's going to be.

Mystery train.

Time to go?

Thank you.

Route info--

"Search for your next clue at--"

"Jodhpur train station."

Jodhpur.

The clue said "Search for your next clue"

at the Jodhpur train station."

We're actually going to be on the train for 24 hours.

We're tired.

This whole race has been extremely difficult for me

not having my basic comforts that I like,

eye cream, skin cream, any cream.

At this point I would drink my skin care

if I had it with me. Toner seems delicious now.

But I think it's interesting

to see how long I can do without them.

This is what I deal with. This is what I deal with.

You look like a sheik.

Ron: I love them.

This is the first time we were able

to sit down with Rob and Amber

and actually talk to them and have fun.

Rob is really humorous and Amber is very sweet.

Rob: This train ride gave us a chance

to see what kind of people Ron and Kelly were

and we actually started a real friendship.

Amber: We do have a lot of respect for them.

I think we have fun racing against each other.

Rob: But in the end, we want to win.

That's why we're here. That's why we're trying so hard.

Just stay with me.

Come on, babe.

In the train station, he says.

OK, go, go, go!

"Make your way to Sardar Market."

Phil: Teams must make their way one mile

to the Sardar Market and find this clock tower.

Once there, they must go to the first floor balcony

where they will find their next clue.

Do you know where this is?

Can you tell the taxi driver?

Sardar Market.

This way, taxi.

Sardar Market.

"Go to the clock tower to find your next clue."

Amber: He wants us to wait.

I think this is taking too much time.

We've got to get through here.

Taxi. Come on.

Taxi?

Sardar Market.

Go. We've got to go super-fast.

Is it faster to go on one of these?

Amber, come on.

Hey, buddy, go as fast as you can.

Where's the clock? Right here?

It's got to be marked.

It's closed.

It's not open until 10:00 A.M.

Right here.

Right here.

OK. Let's go.

Pay him, Alex. I paid him.

Come on.

There is a hotel and restaurant right there.

Hotel and restaurant right there.

Let's go.

Rob: All the other teams

found a hotel for the night,

so Amber and I and Ron and Kelly

ended up at this magnificent hotel.

I like it.

We're sold.

We could share--

maybe share and use the air conditioning

Let's get our own room.

Rob: What's your name?

Do you know the city very well?

How much would it cost for you

to take me around and show me?

Free of charge.

I need a guide tomorrow.

To help me all day, at 9:00 in the morning.

Can you come with me for the day?

Are you sure?

All right. Thanks, buddy.

Sounds good. All right.

This is wonderful.

That's cool.

Whoa, oh!

Alex and I came across this huge wedding,

and the next thing we know

we're getting pulled into the middle,

dancing with these men.

It was absolutely amazing.

Gretchen: Look at them.

How about that.

Look at them.

This is incredible.

Wow. This looks cool.

Good karma, come our way.

Rob: We don't want them to win.

When it comes down to it, if we have to leave

something first or whatever,

you're with us.

I know. OK.

Ron: Rob actually coerced Sanjay,

the manager of the hotel,

into following us on the rest of the leg.

Meredith!

I'm with you.

Lynn: That's steep.

It's like Cinderella's castle.

Fast forward.

Fast forward. Let's do a fast forward.

This is the second of only 2 fast forwards

hidden on the entire race.

The first team that finds it and completes it,

can skip all tasks and go directly to the pit stop.

In this fast forward, teams must make their way 10 1/2 miles to this temple

and engage in a traditional Hindu good-fortune ritual--

having their head shaved.

Something that is done by Hindu men and women

at least one time during their life.

Teams will not know the ritual

is a head shaving until they arrive.

Once both team members are completely bald,

they may claim the fast forward.

We're going after the fast forward.

Detour.

A detour is a choice between 2 tasks,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this detour,

teams have to choose between trunk and dunk.

In trunk, teams make their way to Jodhpur's old city

and choose one of these teak elephants weighing 600 pounds.

Then they must transport the elephant

a half-mile to this temple.

This priest will hand them their next clue.

It's a physically demanding task,

but if teams enlist the help from locals

they could finish fast.

In dunk, teams make their way to this neighborhood in Jodhpur

famous for hand-made tie-dyed fabrics.

Once there, teams will dye these white sheets.

After the colored dye is applied,

the clue can be clearly read when the sheets are untied.

The sheets are light so the task won't be physically demanding,

but the clue only appears on one sheet,

so getting through a basket of 25

could take a long time.

Want to do the elephant? Yes.

We didn't take the fast forward,

because we knew we would be out of it

if we didn't make it to the fast forward first.

What do you want to do? Fast forward.

We're doing the fast forward.

Let's do detour.

Kelly and I felt like if we went after that

and we didn't get the fast forward,

that we would be eliminated from the race.

Fast forward.

Last time we went for the fast forward

we ended up there second.

We weren't going to let that happen again.

"Trunk or dunk."

Do you want to do the elephants?

Or the dye.

The dyeing might take a while.

Gretchen: Where are the elephants?

[Speaking native language]

[Speaking native language]

This way.

Let's go. Let's just keep walking out of here.

Hold on, hold on. They're still right there.

Alex, let's just walk up here and get a taxi.

Sanjay, walk with us. Walk with us.

We're going to Kalina Lake.

10 1/2 miles away.

Do you know this place?

Taxi!

There's Uchenna and Joyce.

They're probably going for the fast forward.

We've got to go.

Hurry, hurry.

Let's go.

Kalina Lake. Do you know where it is?

Yes, yes, yes.

OK, let's hurry now.

We can't just be strolling around.

Just go here.

Come on, come on.

Taxi or walk? Run.

Where is it? Down here?

Are you sure?

Right here?

Come on, Meredith.

I'm with you, just keep going.

Let me get over the hump first.

Get in front of it, Kelly.

Amber!

Come on, honey.

Gretchen, this one.

Oh, right here.

Which way is it going?

Sanjay, do you know where it is?

How can we go?

Will you show us?

Me, up in there?

Ready.

Come on, babe.

Push.

How do you steer it?

You know Joyce and Uchenna

are going to go for the fast forward.

They only have to arrive there

one minute before us to totally screw us up,

don't you think so, honey?

Yes.

Driver, we want to change.

We're going to do the elephants.

We're on our way to the fast forward.

This is a real gamble right here.

Where do we go?

Help, help.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Help us, please, help!

Sanjay, Sanjay!

Come on, push, push, push.

Push, push.

Push, push.

Yes.

Come on.

Come on. Push. Get out of the way.

Have you got a steering wheel on this thing?

No. Push. Push. Push. Push.

Amber and Rob are here.

Rob: Come on. Help, help.

Push, push.

Back it up.

Thank you.

Sanjay, tell these people to help us.

This way.

Push. Push.

I am!

Get out of the way.

Let's go, boys, push.

Push!

Oh, Gretchen, you look fabulous.

Can you guys help us?

Oh, my God, this is hilarious!

I want to ride on top, Alex.

I think I can get out.

I thought we had to get in.

Meredith.

Come on, we can get this.

Push. Push.

Get out of the way. Get out of the way.

Hold it, hold it.

Meredith!

Watch out, watch out,

watch out, watch out.

Oh, Meredith!

Help. We're on a bad elephant,

we have a bad elephant.

How far are we going? How far?

Oh, way up there?

Unbelievable.

This is a bad elephant.

Help us, push.

OK. Help us, push.

Good, honey, keep going.

Stop.

Which way, Kelly?

Straight.

Really?

Come on.

Help, help, help. Come on.

Watch the wheel, watch the wheel.

Come on, now, let's go.

I'm holding the elephant's tail.

No coffee break here.

Thank you.

I'm really exhausted.

Gretchen: We need some big people.

Push, boys, push.

Gretchen, where are we going?

To the temple.

You know the lake?

We've got to get there very fast.

I pay more.

Keep going.

Push, push, come on.

Come on, you want to push? Push.

Get up here. Let's go, come on, come on.

Full steam ahead.

All right, come on.

Push! How far is this place?

Push, push, boys, push.

Push, push, come on.

A traditional Indian good fortune ritual.

I hope it's not a head shaving.

That freaks me out.

Turn left.

Elephant parking.

Come on, come on, come on!

Thank you.

Come on. Straighten it up, straighten it up.

"Go to the Deora Krishi Farm."

Phil: Teams must now travel by auto rickshaw

approximately 8 miles towards to Deora Krishi Farm,

a site used for a local festival.

Once there, teams must look for their next clue.

Sanjay!

Where's the clue?

Amber, come on.

Taxi, taxi.

Route info. Where is Sanjay?

Sanjay, come with us.

Get in here with us.

Come with us.

He has to come with us.

Come on, come on!

Kashmir Road.

OK, all the way up?

Thank you.

Up here?

Is there a wise man here?

White man, I don't think.

There is more? Yes.

Is this the first one?

Temples everywhere.

The stairs over there? OK.

We went up to the wrong hill.

We have to go around to the stairs.

"Route info."

You know where the temple is?

Oh, God, come on.

Kelly: He's so tired, honey.

Help him, help him, help him push.

Come on, honey, help us, push, push,

come on, help.

Move away, move away.

Push.

Help me. I'm so tired.

Deora Krisha Farm.

I wish we had Sanjay in our car.

Are they behind us?

Come on, push.

There's so much traffic, Alex,

as far as you can see.

Run that elephant over, please.

Please, please.

Marked in the parking area.

We gotta go fast, please, please.

Meredith!

Let's go.

Is this it, honey?

I don't know. I don't see anybody.

They're in there praying.

This isn't it.

Kelly: OK, go. Go, go, go, go.

We've got to pass them.

We're in a big hurry. Please, please, please.

Gretchen: Put it right there.

Here.

Thank you.

"Deora Krishi Farm."

It's OK. You had a good ride.

Jump out, jump out.

We're hopping out. Let's go.

Straight ahead.

Road block.

"Who is ready to steer their team in the right direction?"

Phil: A road block is a task that only one person may perform.

In this road block, one team member has to choose a camel cart

and race 2 times around this marked course.

When they cross the finish line,

the camel master will give them their next clue.

It's definitely going to be riding a camel.

Do you want me to do it?

I'll do it.

Go, baby, go.

Sit here? Come on, Amber.

Come on, baby.

This ought to be interesting.

Go forward.

Why is he going backwards?

Baby? Yeah?

Let's go. Go, go, go.

They're right behind us.

Meredith and Gretchen are right behind us?

Catch that other cart.

Gretchen: Good driver, good driver.

Fast, fast, fast.

Whoo-hoo!

Dude, she's hauling butt on the camel.

Amber is probably way back there.

I don't see my girl. This is not good.

OK, go, go, go, go.

There she is, there she is.

Good camel, good camel.

Go, go, go.

To the left.

Go, go, go.

This is enough to make you sick.

Faster, faster!

Faster, faster!

This is it, this is it.

200? No, no, that's too expensive.

Come on, hon.

Come on, Meredith.

Damn it, cab driver. I'll do it, hon.

"Steer their team in the right direction."

I will. You will.

Come on, hon.

Good luck, honey, good luck.

Go, Meredith!

Uchenna: There we go.

Thank you. OK, this is it.

There he is.

Hello.

Uh-oh.

Joyce: They've got scissors.

Hello.

"To win fast forward,

each of you must have your head shaved."

I knew that was coming,

I freakin' knew it.

OK, fine.

Honey, honey--

What? Wait a minute--

I told you.

Do you want to shave your head?

Let's go.

Uchenna: "To win fast forward",

each of you must have your head shaved."

I knew that was coming, I freakin' knew it.

OK, fine.

Honey, wait a minute.

I told you.

Do you want to shave your--

Let's go. Let's just do it.

Let's do it. I don't care.

Let's just do it.

I'm not going back. I'm not going back.

Oh, my God!

Honey.

I'm ready. Let's just do it.

Oh.

I don't--honey--

Let's just do it.

We don't have to do this.

Are you kidding?

All this trouble to find this place?

My head is already shaved.

It's just me.

I don't want you to have to--

Honey, I don't want you to have to--

It's already gone, honey.

I'm sorry.

I knew this was coming.

I told you it-- I knew it.

Well, you get to see me bald, honey.

Baby, you're beautiful any way you come.

Oh, my God.

It's OK. It's just hair.

It will come back.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

I'm sorry.

It's just outward appearance, right?

I love you, baby.

This is rough.

This is very rough.

Watching Joyce have her hair cut off,

my heart was breaking,

because I never wanted her to make a sacrifice--

Oh, my God.

Come on, Amber. Stay with it.

Amber: Good, good, good, good.

To the right, to the right.

This way, this way, this way.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, he's pissed.

Oh, God.

Whoa, their camel's going nuts.

Not a happy camel.

Come on, camel.

Good camel, good camel.

Go, go, go.

Whoo! One more time.

Go, Meredith!

Come on, Meredith, hurry up.

Come on, Meredith.

Go, Lynn.

No!

Yes, yes.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

You have a nice shaped head, actually.

I'm sorry, baby.

Look at my hair!

You have a beautiful shaped head.

Oh, my goodness.

It's a weird feeling.

Oh, yeah, it's a weird feeling at first.

I've got a big forehead like you now, hon.

Yeah, you've got a big forehead like me, now.

You are beautiful.

It seemed like there was this blossoming happening with Joyce.

The more the hair came off,

that she just got brave,

and I was overwhelmed with pride.

I love you, babe.

That's good luck.

That's what we need, is good luck.

Yeah.

Gratitude for good fortune.

Thank you for the good fortune.

It's gone now. Nothing I can do.

But you're beautiful.

I swear, you look beautiful.

Oh, wow.

We're bald together now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

"Congratulations. You have won the fast forward.

"Make your way to the next pit stop.

Jaswant Thada."

Phil: Having won the fast forward,

Uchenna and Joyce can now skip all tasks

and go directly to the pit stop-- Jaswant Thada,

a royal tomb in the city of Jodhpur.

The last team to check in here may be eliminated.

OK, let's go.

Thank you.

You look absolutely beautiful.

Joyce: There's been a lot of black women that shaved their heads

and they still look beautiful.

How do I look?

My God, look at my head.

My inner beauty will have to come out and shine.

Oh, my God.

OK, let's go. We've got to go to the pit stop.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah, yeah.

Go, go, go.

OK.

We're done. Come on.

Got my bag? Yes.

"Make your way to the next pit stop, Jaswant Thada."

Phil: Teams must now make their way

6 1/2 miles to Jaswant Thada.

This 100-year-old tomb,

built to honor Jodhpur's royalty,

is the pit stop for this leg of the race.

Come on, come on. We got a taxi down here.

Is there a pit stop?

Is there a pit stop, Ron?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go.

It was so funny.

Go, go! Yeah.

Ride that camel.

That's my baby.

Go, go, go, cross the finish line.

Keep going.

Go, go, go.

Keep going.

Come on. Tell him. Keep going.

Go, go, go.

Keep going.

Go. We need to go.

Go, go, go. No, no.

Good. He's going the other direction.

Go around the track the other way.

Oh, God, please, no.

Jeez Louise.

Straight this way.

Oh, God, no.

He does not want to be racing today.

Come on, baby, come on.

Finish line, OK, OK, OK, stop.

Thank you.

"Make your way to the pit stop."

My camel didn't like me.

You did great.

Go, go, go, go.

Hurry, hurry.

Gretchen: One more!

Meredith, pass them up, hurry up.

Hurry.

No, the other way, aye, aye, aye.

Lynn, you've got to go around twice.

Meredith, steer him.

I'm trying!

Let's go.

We've got an obstinate camel.

One more time.

He said he knows the place.

Let's go, baby. We can do it.

Pit stop, Jaswant Thada.

Come on, Meredith.

Meredith is following up the rear.

Talk nice to the camel.

Go, go.

Hey. Don't stop.

Hey!

Get off, get off.

Get the clue, get the clue.

"Make your way to the pit stop."

Taxi. Tell him where we're going, Alex.

Do you know where this is?

Yes. Fast. Fast.

We've got to be first,

we've got to be first, after this!

We're going to the pit stop.

Go fast, fast, fast.

Rob: It's a pit stop.

That's good, that's good!

Get your clue.

Gretchen, come on.

All right. Quit shouting at me.

For God sakes, we have never acted like this with each other.

"Make your way to the pit stop."

Oh, boy,

they're ahead of us.

This is the last chance we've got, Gretchen.

We need to go fast.

Oh, my God, is that it?

Which way? This way?

Honey, I don't think it's this way.

Come on, let's run.

Run the wrong way?

Run any way, just run.

Where is everyone?

Which way? Where is everyone?

Is this the right castle?

Taxi!

Jaswant Thada?

Yeah.

I can't believe it.

We were at the wrong palace.

Uchenna: There we go.

I need a hat.

You look beautiful. You look beautiful.

You look beautiful.

Hold on.

I know. I have no more nails to bite.

We had a slow elephant, slow tuk-tuk,

and a slow camel.

They've got to stop. They've got to get gas.

Dad blame it!

This happens to us all the time.

Every taxi has to go to the gas station.

Dad blame it.

Yeah. We've got to pass them.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

OK, go.

Go fast, man.

Come on!

Go, go, go.

Rob and Amber are back there.

Jaswant Thada.

Uchenna: Wow. Look at that, beautiful.

Oh, my God.

Keep going, keep going.

Jaswant Thada. This is it.

The mat's over there.

Welcome to Jodhpur, India.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Uchenna and Joyce,

you are team number one.

Yeah!

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh, baby.

Thank you.

You made the ultimate sacrifice

for this one, baby.

That's--that's--

Do you want to show him?

No.

Show him. No.

How does it make you feel?

It was really hard, but--

you know, it's just hair.

She's awesome. She's determined.

She really, really sacrificed to be here.

Kelly: There it is, there it is.

Keep going, keep going.

Rob and Amber are back there.

Go, go, go.

Up here, baby, over here.

OK, stop, stop, stop.

Stop, stop.

Rob: Jump out, jump out, jump out.

Come on.

Kelly, come on.

Over here, over here.

Amber!

Go, babe. Run like hell.

Come on, come on, jump.

I got you.

Go, go, go.

Come on, baby, come on.

Ron and Kelly, Rob and Amber,

you are teams number 2 and 3.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The competition is really starting to sort itself out here.

You are fighting like crazy coming in here,

even, like, 100 yards out.

It's the competitive nature of all of us.

We're willing to put our hands out

and shake hands when we're not racing

but when we're racing, whoever's on top

in this competition, we're all very, very, very competitive.

I just want to get to this pit stop as soon as possible.

It's been the longest leg. I'm exhausted.

Meredith: I'm worried about being last.

Gretchen and I want to continue on.

All I can think of, right now,

is getting to that mat before one other team.

Alex: We are still beating Meredith and Gretchen, I think.

Fast, fast.

That's where it is.

Meredith and Gretchen...

You are team number 4.

Oh, my God.

You're still in "The Amazing Race."

You are the team that will never quit.

We just were running behind everybody's dust again.

We weren't.

We weren't running behind one team's dust.

Now I have something very special to tell you.

Yes?

You are officially the oldest team

to ever have made it this far in "The Amazing Race,"

and that you should be very proud of.

We are.

Oh, baby.

Phil, we've seen 2 palaces--

that one way the hell over there

and this one.

Welcome to Jodhpur, India.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Beautiful city. Beautiful.

Lynn and Alex.

You're the last team to arrive.

I'm sorry to tell you, you have both been eliminated from the race.

I know we had a tricky time.

We did so good,

Lynn and I were doing so good.

We loved it.

The people we have met, the places we have seen,

the things we've done. It's been amazing.

I can't imagine anything that would compare

to the joy we have received

from the people on this race

and the people we met throughout this world.

It is the most, amazing experience that we have ever had.

I couldn't imagine doing this with anybody else.

I love you, baby.

Lynn reminds me, every day,

how much we accomplished together,

how much we have, and how much we have to look forward to.

Phil: Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
