[intense music] For the past nine days, four teams have been racing across the country, searching for and finding their relatives.

Auntie cousin Margaret [laughs] how are you?

Hi!

I'm Jerica.

Preshious: My goodness, nice to meet you too!

And it's this Relative Race flag that will determine who walks away with $50,000 and who heads home empty-handed.

Nine days ago, four teams gathered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

GO!

They began a journey of discovery...

It's not going!

We're gonna see a family member!

I'm Camille, nice to meet you.

Hi, Camille, I'm Mike!

Dan: ...that would challenge them to rise to new heights.

You're good, honey.

Yeah!

Mike: Boom!

[Austen cheering] [Paris yells] Dan: And would force them to face their demons.

Tiffany: I don't like to lose.

Josh: You think I like to lose?

Preshious: Don't do a "I don't care," 'cause I can easily give you an "I don't care."

Dan: All with the hope of finding new family.

Preshious: You're my dad!

[soft laugh] I'm related to you.

Josh: Rashad gave me my family's last name.

Jerica: For me, not knowing my grandfather, to actually hear his voice is really, really cool.

Mike: So you're my older sister?

Yes, I am.

Preshious: It's like a dream.

It's just finally happening.

Mike: It's one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life.

Absolutely, bar none.

Dan: However... early in the race, unforeseen circumstances led to Team Blue's early departure.

We're missing one of our teams.

Paris: I'm wondering how this is going to affect the race.

Dan: With only three teams left, the competition was fierce.

Joe: [gasp] Jerica!

[Jerica screams] Dan: But our teams hung on as they scrambled to collect Day 10 benefits.

Preshious: So this is our Day 10 benefit.

I don’t know what to make of it.

But maybe you do.

[Mike laughing] Preshious: Ben Franklin printing office.

- X marks the spot?

- Can you tell us anything about this?

- Nothing.

Preshious: Hmm.

What?

Man I hope these Day 10 benefits end up helping us in the end.

Dan: On Day 9, Team Green and Team Black both began with two strikes.

Jerica: Definitely a little more at stake with the strikes.

Preshious: We got two strikes already, we cannot do three and out.

Dan: They fought hard... - Oh my word.

Dan: ...hoping to secure a spot on the final day.

- So you don't know where we're at on the map?

Everything we did, we need to go backwards.

Dan: But unfortunately, Joe and Jerica received their final strike.

Joe: We're still walking away feeling overwhelmingly blessed and enriched through this whole experience.

So this is Joe and Jerica Henline, Team Black, signing off of Relative Race.

Dan: Now, two teams remain for the final day of competition.

They still don't know where the final day will be, but they do know that $50,000 is on the line.

This is Day 10 of Relative Race.

DNA tells us who we are and where we came from.

Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... [Jerica screaming] to win $50,000... Yeah, baby!

And to find their family!

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Dan: In the early hours of Day 10, our surviving teams nervously prepare for the unknown.

- I'm not worried about it.

- Oh.

Finding out where Day 10 is gonna be.

- Here we go, right now.

Paris: Oh, yup, it's from Dan.

Austen: " Congratulations, you have made it to Day 10.

"Time to pack your bags-- --"and head to the airport, because you're headed to Philadelphia."

- Philadelphia.

- What'd I tell you?

Austen: Dad and I are excited, because we know Philadelphia pretty well.

Paris: Um, we've never been before, so we're anxious to know what's waiting for us.

- "This is where the Declaration of Independence "and our Constitution were written.

- "And this is where one team will walk away with $50,000.

- Good luck."

Larry: All right.

- It's time to do it, it's time to do it.

Austen: Thank you for declaring and decreeing.

[laughs] Paris: All right, so, we have to go.

Mike: We'll see you soon.

- Bye!

Mike: Thanks!

[intense music] ♪ Preshious: Love you!

Paris: We were not at all expecting to get on a plane today, but we are ready to go.

Dan: After nine grueling days on the road, and thousands of miles throughout America, only two teams are left as they travel to Day 10 for one final face-off in the city of brotherly love.

Old city Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, where both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were debated and adopted.

America's most historic square mile will act as the backdrop for the final day of Relative Race.

[intense music] ♪ Dan: Good morning, Team Green.

Good morning, Team Red.

You are standing on the steps made famous during the movie Rocky, where the Italian stallion worked hard to make his dreams come true.

How about you guys?

How hard have you worked to get to this point?

How's the journey been for you?

Paris?

Paris: It's been a lot more than I expected, I will say that.

Preshious: But overall, we made it, and to be standing where someone made their dream come true is wonderful.

Mike: And now to be at Day 10, that's why we're here.

Dan: Congratulations to each of you for making it here to Day 10 of Relative Race.

Each of you earned at least one Day 10 benefit.

Preshious and Paris, what do you have?

- We have a flag, we have a blueprint, and a piece of a picture.

We're not really sure what it's for yet.

Dan: Michael and Austen, what did you pick up?

Austen: We have a photo of one of our relatives with details about their hobbies and things like that.

- Those benefits you have will help you.

You just have to figure out how.

Because today, the winner will be decided by how many flags you can place throughout the city.

Austen: We're going to be placing flags all over the city and whoever places the most flags, they're the ones that are gonna come out with $50,000.

- We've already got one flag.

Now we just gotta figure out where we're supposed to place it.

Dan: For the past nine days, you've had to use paper maps to navigate all across the country to find your relatives.

Today, you'll use this book of clues.

Inside this book is a map of Old City Philadelphia, highlighting two separate challenge locations.

Successfully complete either one of those challenges, and you'll earn flags.

But where do you place those flags?

The book also contains riddles.

Solve the riddles, and it reveals where your flag locations can be dropped.

The team that successfully places the most flags today will go home with $50,000.

If you run out of flags to place, you can always revisit either one of the challenges to earn more flags.

But keep this in mind: Every time you revisit a challenge, the level of difficulty at that challenge increases.

The route you choose to earn and place flags is completely up to you.

But you only have three hours to place as many flags as possible and then return back to me.

And one more thing: For every minute you go over three hours, you lose a flag.

Five minutes over, five flags lost.

Paris: I'm thinking that both teams will definitely bring it.

In a way, we have to come in with the same determination that they have.

Mike: I'm feeling really pumped.

Realizing the head-to-head competition, it's really got me kinda jazzed up.

Dan: It's now time to earn your first flags.

Right here, right now.

Behind you are three different games.

You'll be competing in them head-to-head.

Win the game, you earn a flag.

Lose the game, you win nothing.

Once you complete the games, the final table will have your clue book and your flag quivers Are you ready for what lies ahead?

Good, because $50,000 is on the line, and your final day of Relative Race begins in three, two, one... [intense music] Your final day of Relative Race begins in three... Preshious: I'm in a tunnel vision right now.

...two... Austen: It's time for competition.

...one... Preshious: It's game face today.

- So we're trying to be pretty fierce over here.

Dan: Go!

♪ Paris: Dan says, "Three, two, one, go," and immediately we take off.

Mike: And we hit this tic-tac-toe challenge and I'm thinking, "Here we go."

[upbeat music] Preshious: Get it.

Go!

♪ Preshious: Move it!

Austen: Paris and I put our discus on the same exact spot.

And they both slid to another spot.

So he ended up being able to move his to the best place on the chart.

Preshious: Go!

Only one person can place a spot on an area, so we have to tag the other person in to go back and finish what we started.

Austen: Go!

Come on, Daddy.

Preshious: Here, here, go.

We got three in a row pretty quickly.

Austen: So Team Green, they grabbed their flag, and it's official, they have two flags and we have none.

Austen: Come on!

Preshious: After that, it was time to head to the next one.

♪ Preshious: So the next challenge, you have to eat as much as you can and clear your plates.

And whoever gets done first with both plates wins the next flag.

Go, go, go, go, go, careful.

Austen: Daddy and I are ready to crush it because we find out it has to do with food.

Mike: A pretzel, Philly cheesesteak, and some candy corn.

And some blue disgusting liquid in a cup.

Austen: And we have to eat it all before Team Green.

Paris: That challenge was probably the most unpleasant.

Preshious: Bring your plate.

Paris: The steak was horrible.

I probably took one bite of the steak, and I'm just thinking, "I don't want to be sick."

Austen: We have watched enough cooking shows and been around enough food to know how speed eaters eat.

And so we immediately know the strategy that you take your bread, and you get it soaking wet, and then you just let it slime all the way down your throat.

- Take a deep breath and swallow.

Paris: My mindset is to move forward mentally, you know, just know that I can't finish this one, but it's better to move on healthy.

But Preshious won't give up, so we just keep stuffing our faces.

Mike: My eye was on the plate and on the glass.

That's all I could see, was food, going in my mouth.

Austen: Dad starts [mimics gagging], and I'm like, "Noooo!

Keep it in!"

Preshious: After a while, we notice that Team Red is almost done, and he's just like, "You know, just wait.

They're about to be done."

Mike: Put it in your mouth.

Drink!

After that challenge, we crushed it, we got our flag, and now it's two to one, so it's game on.

Paris: So we let them take that one, um, we're thinking we'll get the next one.

♪ Mike: Our next challenge is to simply throw discs into three separate trash cans.

Austen: And I get totally excited because Dad plays disc golf.

- Don't look down, don't look down!

Look at me.

Get it!

One person throws the Frisbee, and the other one tips the Frisbee into a trashcan.

There are three different trash cans; once we fill one trash can, we put a lid over it so that we can finish the other two.

- We got two right off the bat.

I mean, really, really quick.

Mike: Put it on.

- But then the third one, which was right in the middle-- It's really windy today, it's gusty.

- Had to deal with some windage.

- Come on, come on, come on!

The Frisbees aren't going where I anticipate them to go.

[Austen yells in frustration] There were also a couple of close ones that I might have tipped too hard.

- That didn't go in, I don't think that went in.

I've got the motion down-- - I just have to catch it.

Boop!

Preshious: We have the wind, it's raining.

It wasn't like a straight shot type of challenge.

Come on, pay attention to me.

Look at me!

Don't look at them.

[upbeat music] Come on!

Man, you come on!

Yes!

So it's two to two, we grab our book, our quiver, and we are off, and we're ready to go.

[Paris sighs] Paris: Long story short, before you even know it, we're all tied with flags, so now it can go either way.

Austen: And I think it's the first time that Team Green went, "Oh, maybe we should dread the red."

- Just saying.

Dan: Day 10 is under way, and both teams have two flags.

Austen: Good job, Daddy.

Don't run.

Dan: But earning challenge flags is only half of today's battle.

Now our teams must search their clue books in order to find historical locations where they can place their flags.

Whichever team can place the most flags in the next three hours will be the winner of Relative Race.

[orchestral music intensifying] Mike: Map key.

All right, let's find out where we are.

- Let's figure out where we are.

Preshious: Map key.

Where are we at right now?

Where are we at?

Right now, we're just kind of looking through the book to see what clues are in here, what buildings are around, what street we're on, that type of thing.

Independence Hall.

Let's walk while we talk.

- All right, so the U.S. Mint.

Give me the book, give me the book.

- U.S. Mint.

- Okay.

So we open the clue book, and they're filled with all kinds of riddles that you have to figure out, the historical landmarks that they correspond to.

- And they're very ambiguous.

Austen: And they're super ambiguous.

Mike: The one with the frayed bills, that picture right there.

Austen: " This location gives out money."

Mike: The Mint.

Austen: So when we show up at the Mint, one of the riddles has, like, shredded money.

And so we're thinking the Mint makes money.

But it was wrong.

So we keep on trucking.

- Oh, money?

That gives out money?

- Yeah.

We're pretty overwhelmed, so we start asking around for help.

Hold up, yeah.

Preshious: Oh!

Okay, um, um-- - This, have you ever seen this?

And we randomly find a woman who works at the visitor’s center, so we show her the shredded bills.

It says...

Both: "This location gives out these."

- Which one?

Woman 1: The Federal Exchange.

Preshious: It's the Federal Exchange, and it's right next to us.

Okay, okay, I think we're good.

Thank you so much.

Paris: We cross the street, find the flag holder, and we place our first flag.

So that's our first point, and we're feeling pretty good.

Austen: Then we just kept going.

Mike: And one of the clues, we heard bifocals.

Austen: "Final resting place for the bifocal inventor."

And we see a placard that explains that this is the resting place of Benjamin Franklin, and we know that he is the creator of bifocals, so we know that we're in the right place.

That's right, it's that one.

Okay, let's go.

Mike: Boom, first flag in, we're off to the races.

Now, we just have to figure out where we are in relation to all of the other clues in the other landmarks.

Paris: Be careful, it's slippery.

Austen: It's very windy.

Paris: I think we should keep up the street.

[reading a page] Mike: Franklin Court.

We know some of them, like, right off the top of our head, or we think we know.

Paris: Yeah, yeah.

Preshious: "This printer's marker resides "next to Philadelphia's most famous printing office and bindery."

So getting the first two flags placed is not easy at all.

Mike: Is Betsy Ross's house right around here?

All right.

Paris: Excuse me, do you know where the, uh, the famous printing place is?

- It's down Market Street.

- Incorrect.

All right.

Paris: We might need to keep asking people with the horses.

Preshious: After asking for directions, we arrived to Ben Franklin's printing office.

But we still can't find the flag drop.

Still the printing museum.

It's next to it.

Austen: Let me- let me just-- Mike: I'm figuring out the steps.

Go to the next one.

Austen: Let me see the map.

Daddy, listen.

We just started going to everywhere, and none of our answers are correct.

- It just says an M, babe, look, like it says an M, and it's blue, and there's yellow around it.

The clue has an M icon, which is a huge hint.

We're obviously looking for some type of marker or sign.

The printing office is over there, so it's next to it.

We found the M. And just like the clue said, we found a blue historical marker about 50 feet away from the printing office.

Paris: So we drop our flag, claim our points, and now we're off to find another challenge to get more flags.

Preshious: Which way?

Mike: On the way up to Arch Street and Third, Austen says, "Daddy, look."

- "The Quakers still meet in this historic building."

Right here, right here.

The riddle was, "The Quakers still meet in this historic building," and I know that the Arch Street meeting building is the right place.

It's right here, it's the Arch Street and Friends.

- This is it?

- Yeah, this is it.

So we stop here, drop off the flag, and then we know we need to head back to do a challenge to get more flags.

Mike: All right, Aust, that's it.

Dan: Both teams have placed their first two flags, and are tied at two points each.

But without any more flags to place, the teams frantically search for the closest challenge, ready to compete and gain additional flags.

- Here we are.

Austen: Challenge!

We round the corner into Independence Hall, and we see a platform with a bunch of building materials.

We have no idea what it's for, but we figure we're gonna have to build something, especially since we know that Preshious and Paris have a blueprint for something.

Mike: Let's find out what we gotta do.

Austen: "City Planning.

"One teammate must recreate "one of Philadelphia's most historic buildings "while the other teammate directs the construction "using a blueprint.

"Once your building matches the blueprint, "you will receive three flags, and the challenge's difficulty will increase."

- All right, sounds good.

Dan: Team Red is the first team to attempt "City Planning."

This challenge will have teams recreate one of Philadelphia's most historic buildings, but on a miniature scale.

Each team is provided with building materials and a blueprint.

One teammate analyzes the blueprint, and must instruct the other teammate on how to recreate the building Once the building is complete, the team will win three flags.

Glad we got here when we did.

[country music] Paris: So we get to the challenge after we get our flags placed.

We see a cage, wooden tracks in the grass, and further down we see, like, a little mini barn.

Preshious: Okay, take off your bag.

Dan: Team Green is the first to arrive at today's "Chicken Thieves" challenge.

This heinous heist will test our team's balancing skills as they try to transport stolen chickens through an obstacle course without falling on the ground.

One teammate must steal a single chicken from the hen house, carry it across various obstacles, and pass it over the fence to their teammate.

The other teammate must then balance through their own set of obstacles and drop off the chicken in their team's coop.

Once Team Green successfully steals three chickens, they'll receive three flags.

Preshious: Okay, okay.

Okay, go, go, go, go!

[chicken clucks] Austen: Okay, Daddy, you be the instructor, I'll build, because I can't describe this stuff to you.

We chose to make Daddy the instructor, and for me to be the builder, because we know that's within his skillset.

Mike: All right, we're building a little cabin, it looks like.

Austen : A-a what?

Mike: It's a cabin.

Paris: I ended up being the person to actually grab the chickens out and pull the wagon.

Preshious: Go ahead!

Just go, go, go.

Paris: One person has to jump from one location to location.

There's also logs that you have to jump on.

Preshious: Pace yourself, don't fall.

If you can skip a log, okay?

Go ahead, don't fall, sideways.

Come on, bae.

Oh, shoot.

Paris: Agh.

Preshious: But I fall right off the bat, before Paris even gives me the chicken.

So now we have to start all over.

Mike: All right, you're gonna put the foundation down, the foundation pad.

The blueprint was the Betsy Ross house.

Move this- move this bucket out of the way so I can see what you got.

Austen: So the materials that were in front of us, we had bricks, we had garden tiles, random pieces of wood that were in different shapes.

So Dad had to be really specific in the types of wood that I was supposed to be using at that specific time.

Mike: Give me one brick at a time.

I'm gonna give you another red brick.

- Tell me how many bricks.

Mike: Just one.

- No, tell me how many bricks, 'cause then I don't have to-- - Give me one red brick.

- I want to move them-- Hold on a second, hold that thought.

Preshious: Stretch your leg, stretch them out, all the way out.

Don't fall, all the way out.

There?

Okay, over.

Wagon.

Paris: After you get your chickens, you jump back over and you hop in the wagon and toss it to the other person, who should be holding a bag to catch that chicken.

[exclamations of surprise] Paris: Don't do that, don't do that.

I'll figure it out.

Preshious: The strategy was to be as close to the fence as possible for when he came back.

This is not moving.

Preshious: Okay, okay.

A little bit further.

- Take that brick in your hand, and put it at a 90-degree angle.

Flip it up on edge.

We had to assemble the walls, and the roof, a window, door, and a chimney.

So now I need to put a fake door right in front, right in that front corner.

With the lights like this, you know what I'm talking- what I'm saying?

Lights or windows.

Preshious: Push yourself!

You're good.

Come on.

[Paris grunting] We're on the clock, so we'll just dump all this stuff out if you have to.

Dump them out if it's easier for you to see.

- It's not.

- There happens to be a field trip of little kids walking right by us.

Preshious: You got it, little more.

Come on.

Paris: Whoa!

[people in background expressing surprise] Preshious: Get back!

I actually almost tip- tip over.

I'm trying to get my balance back so that I stay inside the wagon.

Preshious: Come on!

Paris: And all the little kids are cheering me on.

So I push even harder.

Preshious: You're good, come on.

[kids cheering] Okay, you're good, you're past the cone, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

Go, go get the other one.

Paris: And they're cheering as we get the chickens across.

That was a confidence boost for sure.

I need a fake door, you know what I'm talking- what I'm saying?

Lights or windows.

That's it right there in your hand, okay?

Now put that in front of that brick right here on this corner Right over, over, right there.

This challenge is very specific, from the foundation mat to the placement of the bricks, to the door placement, to the window placement, and, you know, very specific.

Preshious: Come on, I need the next one!

Come on, come on, go, go, go!

Wow.

Come on, babe, you got it, you got it.

So now we got one chicken.

But now I have to get back to the hen house, and man, going backwards was almost impossible.

One wheel gotta touch it, come on.

- I know, I gotta straighten it out.

It doesn't always push you in the direction that you want to go, so, that was the biggest challenge, is pulling that wagon.

Preshious: Come on, you got it.

Harder.

Touch the wheel.

Come on.

Go, go, go, go.

Stretch your--all the way across with your legs.

Mike: Okay, now you're gonna make the roof.

It's gonna look like a triangle piece like this.

Uhh it's bigger than that.

It's gonna overhang everything.

This challenge doesn't scare us at all.

If we have to revisit this, we can do it.

- We're up to it.

Look over there, behind, right there.

In that bucket.

That's probably it.

All right, that's it.

She had to put the roof system on and then finally the chimney.

Don't worry about the door, we can put that up when we're done.

That's just the wind.

Preshious: Come on, we need three.

Paris: I grabbed the second chicken, and now I'm finally feeling like we have a good rhythm.

Give it to me, give it to me.

- Open the bag up wider.

Preshious: I catch a chicken, dump it in the coop, and now we've got two.

Come on, I need the other one, go, go!

Mike: It's gonna look like a--it's a square, it's a rectangle with a notch cut out, right in the middle, right in the middle of that box, right there.

Now set it up towards me on the front.

Right, just like that.

That's it.

Come on, one more, one more, let's go, go, go, go.

Come on, come on, come on, go.

Mike: Get the last piece.

Done!

Awesome.

Austen: Good job!

Mike: Go get--oh!

We got it right the first time, so we didn't have to redo anything, so we feel good, we're ready to go and hang some more flags.

Mike: I got this, get the flags.

Austen: Ooh, this way?

Don't forget the clues!

Dread, dread the red.

P-positive.

Paris: We're finally on our last chicken, and I'm gunning it to the finish as fast as possible.

Preshious: You're good, come on, come on, come on, you're past, you're past it.

Okay.

We did fairly well, um, I don't know how Team Red's gonna do, but I think for this being our first challenge, first starting off, it seems like it's a little bit easier for this first time around.

I think we did okay.

[chicken clucks] Preshious: Three, done!

Paris: So we have three flags from completing the challenge, now we just have to go finish finding these locations correctly.

Dan: With more flags now in their quivers, teams rush out to solve more clues and place more flags.

[electric guitar riff] We're gonna go back to this way to the Betsy Ross house.

Mike: All right.

Preshious: Okay, the Betsy Ross thing.

This says, "13 stars and 13 stripes were allegedly assembled here."

Okay, get it, get it, get it.

Put it in there.

Okay, okay, this way.

Betsy Ross house is straight ahead?

Austen: Yup.

With this page, you know, they get four extra hints with this one.

Oh, yeah.

That's--that's a hint; that's their hint.

Preshious: There goes our missing piece.

Our missing piece is in the book bag.

- It's in here?

Come on, get it out, get it out, get it out.

- We find a ripped page in our book, and immediately we know that our Day 10 benefit is gonna fit into that ripped page.

Philadelphia is famous for its murals.

Murals.

That gives us four more clues that Team Red doesn't have.

- Let's- let's- let's stick to this right now.

- Flip it over then.

Okay, famous for cheesesteaks, this-- you put them together, it says, "Famous for cheesesteaks."

And we saw a few cheesesteak places today, but then we run into Sonny's Famous Cheesesteaks, and sure enough, the flag drop is right out front.

Okay, let's go.

That way, that way, there we go.

Mike: Betsy Ross house is straight ahead.

- Daddy, Green was already here, 13 stars and stripes.

Team Green beat us here, but there's still a spot for our flag.

Mike: All right, let's go.

Austen: We open the book... [Mike laughs] and there's this little bookmark in there, and it says, "Need help?"

It says, "Need help?

Call speed dial number eight."

Mike: Let's hold onto this.

Austen: So we called number eight on speed dial.

Speed dial number eight, I'm gonna do it.

Woman: Hello?

This woman answers the phone, so I start asking questions.

Hi, uh, it says if we need help to call you.

Austen: [on phone] Who are you?

This is Camille.

Camille!

Help us, please help us, Camille.

Okay, where are you guys?

Austen: And it turns out, it's Camille.

Our relative that we met on the first day of this race.

Camille: My name's Camille Williams, Michael is my uncle, Austen's my cousin.

Mike: How can you help us?

Camille: I have a detailed map of Philadelphia in front of me, so I can help you guys.

I have a giant map of Old City Philadelphia, and I can help them figure out where they're trying to go.

Mike: Keep talking.

- Um, do you know where the founding fathers would eat, drink, and celebrate - Okay, the city tavern?

Are you guys near there?

Mike: What do you think?

Austen: Yeah.

Camille: Okay.

Mike: It's a historical district, City Tavern.

Camille: I don't have which way is, like, north, south, but the City Tavern is in the left corner opposite of you guys.

Right here, City Tavern.

Austen: City Tavern, City Tavern.

Mike: All right, no green thing--no green flag.

Austen: Good job.

Exit out.

Mike: All right, let's move on.

Austen: Okay, let's go.

[intense music] Preshious: So I remember this bookmark that I'd seen in the back of the clue book.

It says, "Speed dial number eight."

However, when you flip it over, it said if you want, um, need more flags, find a relative.

Paris: Need flags?

Find a relative.

It says find them, what do you mean "find them"?

So we dial number eight.

Who's Z?

Hello, this is Andrew.

Hi Andrew!

It's Preshious.

Hey, how you doing, cousin?

Preshious: It happens to be my cousin Andrew, and I'm like, "Oh my gosh!"

Good, we need a flag, help us out.

I have something that might help you out, so you need to see me.

Okay, where you at?

Andrew: I'm in Philadelphia, I'm at the Art Street Meeting House.

Preshious: Andrew is actually here, in Philly.

So we're gonna find him, and see what kind of help he can give us.

Okay, hold on, we're coming to you.

Philadelphia's most famous printing office and bindery.

Camille: So you're gonna want to go straight down south Independence Mall east.

Austen: We were working on a clue that said this printer and binding company.

Austen: Marker.

Ben Franklin, inquire within?

Austen: I don't know.

Is this Franklin Court?

Austen: I don't know what it is.

So we run around this area, Benjamin Franklin Court for like fifteen minutes.

The marker resides.

So what is the marker?

A total waste of time.

So we finally just give up, and I call Camille for another clue.

I miss you, it'd be a lot easier just to come back to your house and have some dinner, relax a little, not be stressed out, I'm just saying.

Preshious: Hi!

Ah, it's good to see you!

We go to where he's at, he has a detailed map of things that could definitely help us for today.

So this is this very detailed map that I was telling you guys about.

Okay.

So we get to him, we write down some things, some clues.

The founder of Pennsylvania welcomes you.

Gerard!

Gerard Fountain Park.

7th and Market Library.

New Hall, right here.

And, uh, little did they know that what I had for them was three extra flags.

Preshious: We gotta go.

And I got these, maybe you might need these.

Three more?

Ahh!

Three more flags is huge for us right now.

Good luck, cousin.

- Thank you!

- Bye.

Austen: Need flags, find your relative?

Our relative?

Camille!

Camille: I'm waiting for them to ask where I am, 'cause I actually had something they needed, so I'm trying to direct them to me, but I can't until they ask where I am.

Austen: Is our relative here?

Yes.

Austen: Who?

Who, where?

- So I'm actually at the Art Street Meeting House.

Austen: You're at the Art Street Meeting House?

We just came from there.

Mike: Austen's got Camille on the phone, and then she says, "Camille is here."

Can you meet on the corner of Third Street and, and, um-- Art Street.

I can.

Austen: YES, Camille!

[Camille laughs] So Austen takes off running.

- Yes.

- Come on, Daddy!

Mike: And I'm hobbling up the cobbles.

Hi, love you!

Camille: Hi!

- Let's just go home now.

Camille: So I met them outside when they got here.

They were sweaty, out of breath, and they looked like they had been through a lot.

So I have your guys’ flags, and a map upstairs, you guys can come with me.

- All right.

And she has this map that is super helpful.

Oh, look, look at the "M"s!

Look at the "M"s!

That's where we finally figure out what the "M"s in our book stand for, we figure out that they are actual markers like signs, and we're able to piece that together.

Okay, um, so, so we just didn't come this way.

The marker is right there.

You need to mark the markers.

Mark the markers.

- Yes, everything historical is "M"s. - And she gives us three more flags.

- I have these flags for you guys.

- Thank you.

- Awesome.

Okay, now I want you guys to go ahead and make a chronological list of where you want to go first.

You guys talk it out, and write your notes here.

We took a second, and came up with a strategic plan of which markers we were going to go through chronologically, to maximize the knowledge that we had.

See you tonight.

Austen: Okay.

Let's go.

Camille: Hopefully we get to hang out after they win $50,000.

Austen: Love you!

Go Team Red.

Dan: The final day of Relative Race quickly approaches its midpoint Preshious: Okay, go, go, place it, place it, place it.

Austen: Looking for 280 years of worship, look here first.

This is it.

Dan: And teams are making progress placing their flags.

Mike: We had a rough start.

But I think we're doing okay with this flag thing now.

Austen: Honoring the first fire brigade.

Mike: Fireman's hall.

Preshious: If our independence was drafted next to this book, depository.

No green flag.

Austen: Let's go.

Preshious: Okay, go.

We're placing flags left and right, and solving clues faster than we can plant them.

Dan: But with only an hour and a half remaining, the teams are about to receive a game-changing surprise.

Austen: So at 1 hour and 30 minutes remaining, Dan sends us a text message.

Okay, go ahead, read it.

We were not prepared for this.

A new challenge opened up in Washington Square containing a new kind of flag.

- With a new kind of flag.

- With a new kind of flag.

Okay.

Paris: A new challenge and a new type of flag?

We have no idea what this new flag could be, or what it does, but it sounds like these flags are a really big deal.

We know exactly where Washington Square is.

So we place our last flag, and we head over to the challenge to see what these new flags are all about.

Okay, Washington is right here.

We can't go to a challenge yet.

Paris: We weren't thinking about more flags at that point, we were thinking about planting the flags that we have.

Preshious: Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Paris: So we decided to just move forward and stay focused on what we were working on.

Austen: That's Washington Square, Daddy.

Dan: A new challenge with new flags has now opened up in Washington Square, and Team Red heads to the challenge while Team Green sticks to their plan of placing flags.

Come on, Daddy-o.

Mike: We find the challenge, and we're ready for whatever they're going to throw at us.

- Okay, remember to keep quiet, you will compete for kill flags that can be used to remove or block an opponent's flag.

The new flags can remove...

Kill.

...a Team Green flag, so we're super excited right now.

Identify relatives you met along the way.

For each successful relative you guess, you will receive one kill flag.

- All right, I got it.

- Okay.

Dan: Team Red has arrived at "Remember to Keep Quiet," where they will be competing for kill flags, which can be used to either remove flags planted by another team, or block a team from planting a flag that they haven't claimed yet.

To win these kill flags, one teammate stands at a panel and tries to get the other teammate to guess which relative is on that panel.

However, the teammate with the information cannot verbally say any of the words printed on their boards.

Once the challenge is complete, teams will receive three kill flags.

Austen: Hold on, Daddy-o.

All right.

Our Day 10 benefit is gonna work here.

Thankfully, we had one Day 10 benefit.

I don't know what to make of it.

But maybe you do.

And this was the only challenge where that Day 10 benefit actually came into play.

Mike: It actually corresponded.

All right, choose your words carefully, okay?

Mike: The first panel was of my brother Dwayne, but I wasn't supposed to say his name, so I had to use the descriptions that were underneath his picture.

All right.

I'm ready when you are.

Mike: The name of his daughter Camille was one of the hints.

But I couldn't say her name either.

We talked to this person today.

All Austen could do was absorb my description and try to deduce what my clue was.

Camille?

Mike: We talked to this person today.

Austen: Camille.

Mike: That's correct.

She got the word "Camille" right, but I couldn't use the word "daughter" to connect "Camille" with "Dwayne."

So we had to move on to another clue.

The person that I need you to say the name of lives in the same town as... Austen: Camille.

Mike: Right.

Austen: That only leaves one option.

Uncle Dwayne.

- Yes, yes.

- Dwayne Williams.

The answer is Uncle Dwayne, so we've got one panel done, two to go.

Paris: Look, look, there's a marker over there.

Preshious: Where?

Paris: Right here, right here, across the street, right there!

Preshious: We didn't bother with the new challenge, instead we're placing more flags and solving more clues.

Paris: Isurance.

Okay, yeah, it's the insurance marker, okay.

We place another, and another, until they're all spent, and we're ready to go earn some more flags.

Okay, challenge, challenge, challenge.

[rock music] Mike: Oh, man.

Austen: Describe the category.

Mike: This person has a pastime that involves a ball going down an alley.

- Somebody told me they liked bowling.

Mike: Luckily, Austen along this whole journey was taking copious notes in her journal, and the facts that we had acquired about our relatives along the way totally came into play.

Maybe Larry?

I think Larry told me he liked bowling?

Give me the whole name.

Larry Goss.

Mike: That's correct.

We decide to look for the next challenge.

- This is the National Constitution [coughs] Center.

Paris: Okay, but where are we-- What street are we-- Preshious: It's in a grass-- Look, look, it's somewhere in here.

Paris: There, we got tripped up a little bit.

- It's over there, it's in this direction.

Paris: And little did we know it was behind us on the left.

- Over there.

- Hey, look!

- Oh!

Okay.

Paris: We finally find it, and we head to the challenge, and we're ready to go.

Mike: The third panel is Camille for real this time.

All right.

I figure there's only one thing to say at this point.

The clues for this person are on our Day 10 benefit.

Say the name.

Austen: Camille Williams is our relative.

Mike: That's right.

Austen: Okay.

Boom, that's it, we got three kill flags.

Paris: So we open the envelope and we read the challenge.

One person has to build while the other one reads off the blueprint.

I'm gonna describe, you go ahead and build, Day 10 benefit we can use for this one.

I immediately remember that we have a blueprint of a house, so I know that we can use the Day 10 benefit for this challenge, which totally saved us, because the blueprint we were supposed to use was the advanced difficulty.

But our Day 10 benefit blueprint is level 0.

Paris: So this should be super easy.

Mike: We blazed through that challenge.

And we received three kill flags.

Mike: Awesome, we got three kill flags.

- Come on, let's go.

Mike: All right, Let's go.

And the kill flags are really important, because we can take out green flags at places where we've already seen that they have flags.

- That was kinda fun.

The foundation is that chocolate-looking thing right there.

Grab that.

Paris: The person who was building is not allowed to look at the blueprint, and we just have to communicate to get this house built.

I need six bricks, the red one, the red ones, six bricks.

Six of them.

Yup, yup.

Paris: I decided to do the building.

She's normally the person who reads directions, she's very strict with how she places things.

Preshious: Center the black thing.

All three though.

You're not centering it; you have it to the right.

I want it in the center.

Move it up, right there.

- We know that green was at the publisher person first, so we can definitely kill that one.

Mike: Our strategy leaving with the three kill flags was to immediately go to where we knew Team Green had placed flags.

Austen: Kill them, and then we can immediately go to our next challenge.

Both: And kill 'em.

Preshious: Grab four of the triangle-looking things with the wood.

Four of the triangle-looking things with-- Right there, right-- Four of them.

One, two-- One, two, three, four.

After that, I need a door.

Mike: There were green flags at that one and Betsy Ross.

Austen: Yeah, I don't want to go all the way over there, though.

But the two green flags that we know of are far, so we take a chance and stop at a flag drop that we haven't been to yet.

So we can just see if they've already been there.

If they've already been there, we can kill it.

Mike: All right.

Preshious: One door.

Turn it the other way, flip it around, right, like that.

I was really surprised at how quickly we were able to complete this challenge.

Okay, all right, done!

Done.

Woo!

Okay.

With having this blueprint and being able to complete this challenge so quick, I'm just so happy that we had this Day 10 benefit, because I can only imagine how Team Red built this out of all those pieces that were there.

Okay, let's go!

[intense music] Austen: We're in the killing game right now, Daddy-o.

Mike: Get the clue.

Austen: Insurance marker.

Come on, Daddy, doing good.

We really hope we can kill a flag at this stop.

Okay, Independence Hall can be seen northwest of this insurance marker.

Mike: Insurance Company of North America.

They've been here.

Austen: KILL IT!

Mike: I got it.

And there it was.

A green flag just waiting for us.

So I pulled it out, put in our kill flag, and as for the green flag?

[Austen yells] Yes!

Okay, let's go.

And we killed it.

- All three times.

Austen: That was so satisfying!

[Mike laughing] You're sick.

Dan: Team Red has killed their first flag.

And as the clock winds down, each team is fighting for as many flags as possible.

The couple's marker is kitty-corner from New Hall.

- The couples, oh.

Preshious: The couple, Joseph and Amy.

Mike: Let's kill it, Aust.

Give it to me.

Paris: Joseph and Amy Casey.

Preshious: Woo!

Mike: Pull the green, PULL the green!

Austen: Pull the green, let's go!

Mike: This way, this way, Pook.

American Jewish history.

Paris: Let's go.

Preshious: We're placing our flags so fast, I think we'll have to replay a challenge just to get more.

Three kill flags, Austen.

Get it.

Austen: Boom!

Mike: Boom.

Austen: After that, we decide to go to our next challenge, which is "Chicken Thieves."

Come on, Daddy-o.

Mike: All right.

[grunts] Dad and his hurt knee is not loving life.

Mike: I'm not diggin' this at all.

[Mike grunting] Oh, yeah.

Austen: [gravelly voice] Come on, Daddy-o.

Mike: Squeezing into that thing, it was, uh, it was tight-- And flimsy.

I'm really not trying to flip over in this thing.

Paris: Third and Chestnut, Third and-- Preshious: We gotta get there, we gotta get there.

Paris: Yes, we do.

We gotta run as much as possible.

Austen: You got it, keep it up, you're good.

We were trying to rush and get the chickens in the bag a little bit too fast.

Don't miss, okay?

[Austen groans] The first chicken we missed.

Gotta go back.

Preshious: Library, Seventh and Market.

What are we on?

Paris: Okay, library, okay.

Preshious: I'm plowing through our clue book to find whatever locations we can get to next.

Okay, we need to knock out this and the other one.

Come on!

Mike: I was able to maneuver the wagon right up to the fence.

Austen: Okay.

You got it.

After that, we don't miss any more chickens.

And boom, boom, boom, we get all our chickens, finish the challenge, grab our flags.

All right, let's go.

Austen: Let's go make it happen.

Preshious: Okay, go, go, place it, place it.

The plan right now?

To complete as many challenges and place as many flags as possible.

Dan: Less than thirty minutes remains for our teams.

Austen: Independence Hall is northwest of this insurance marker.

Mike: That's right.

Austen: This is it.

Mike: All right, cool.

Austen: Twenty-one minutes.

Dan: But the fight to the finish is more difficult than ever.

Austen: Dad's in a lot of pain, and I don't want to travel a lot, but dad just kind of wants to tap out.

- It's time to quit.

- I will not.

Daddy, listen!

- It's time to-- - Daddy.

Mike: Even though we had less than a half an hour, we still didn't have as definitive answer to the clues that we had remaining.

- This makes no sense.

- Yes, it does.

- It doesn't.

Austen, listen to me.

Austen: No, I'm done.

What will I do, how will I feel if we lose by one flag?

So I just wanted to make sure that we did everything that we could.

- We have nothing to gain except for one flag.

- So instead, we're going to stand there for fifteen minutes like this?

- Yes, yes we are.

- While one flag sits in the bag.

- You can go solve-- - That makes no sense.

[intense music] Mike: I do not want to lose a flag.

- You want to give up a flag.

Dad wanted to go back to Dan immediately.

Mike: Listen, listen to me.

Austen: What, what, what?

- I'm saying, if we go overtime by one minute-- - I un-der-stand it will take away one flag.

For every minute you go over three hours, you lose a flag.

And I'm like, we have one flag left, and I want to take advantage of as much time as we can.

Mike: Count it down, count it down, come on.

Austen: [angrily] For what?

So we can stand on the corner?!

Mike: Huh?

No, you want to go to the next thing, you're right, let's go.

We're doing what you say.

We got 15 minutes.

But we utilized... every minute.

Dan: With only minutes left in this race... Austen: We can post up here, and find something nearby.

Mike: Fifteen minutes.

Dan: Both teams fight to place their final flags.

And we're on the lookout for Team Red.

Mike: Hey guys, what's up?

Austen: Hey!

And then we run right into Team Green, and they also have one more flag.

Austen: Hello there!

Paris: I keep thinking we're gonna walk around the corner and bump into them at any minute.

We ended up going to several places, all of which were near to Dan.

Mike: Look for a clue.

But none of our answers were correct.

Is there a library around here?

Thank you!

We both agreed that if we get those three flags off, then we would just wrap it up.

- Oldest fire insurance.

Okay, let's head back.

We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.

Paris: It's not really worth losing flags for trying to be greedy.

You see anything else that's close to this on your map?

Austen: I don't know.

Mike: All right, let's head back up.

We don't want to take the chance.

So we ended up coming back to Dan with our flag in tow.

It'll cost us if we miss this.

Austen: Then we just hoped that-- That it would turn out okay.

[intense music] ♪ Preshious: This way.

We was on Fifth this way, this way.

Paris: You sure?

Preshious: Yeah.

Mike: We're tired, and we're hurting, but then we see Dan at the top of the Rocky steps.

Dan: Team Red's coming in, guys.

Austen: We book it up those steps to the finish line.

Dan: Come on, guys, come on, you can do it.

Final few steps, come on.

Way to go Michael, Austen, you're the first to arrive.

Now, the question is, did you arrive under three hours?

[intense music] Preshious: Oh, that's him!

That's him, that's him.

Come on!

I got Team Green, Team Green.

Come on, guys!

Paris: We run up those steps as fast as we can.

Dan: Preshious is moving.

Preshious: And Team Red still has a flag in their quiver, which has me really excited.

Dan: Way to go, Preshious, way to go, Paris.

Clock is stopped.

The only thing that matters is if you guys made it under three hours, okay?

♪ Dan: Welcome back, Teams.

The first thing I want to acknowledge is that there was a surprise for you today; relatives showed up throughout the day, and they were important and helpful to you.

With that being said, how do you think you did overall?

Michael and Austen.

Mike: Feeling pretty good.

Uh, we made it through all the challenges, got some advantages there, and I think we utilized those advantages to the best that we could.

I honestly can say-- - We gave it our all.

- We gave it our all, and if Team Red beat that, then they deserve to win.

Dan: There's no doubt you both gave it your all.

But, do you think you both arrived here under three hours?

Team Red?

Austen: We do think we arrived.

Dan: You're pretty confident about that?

Mike: Yeah.

Team Green.

- Yes, definitely.

- Yes, we arrived under.

I can tell you... that that's correct.

Both of you arrived under three hours.

So now it comes down to one thing: How many flags were you able to place?

Paris: As we were standing there, waiting on Dan to do the review, we're feeling very confident that we got this one.

Austen: And then, Dan pulled out the flags that we placed and starts counting them-- One by one.

Dan: Team Red, you started the day really well, the games right here on these steps.

You picked up a couple of flags early.

Did that give you confidence?

- No.

- It did.

It gave me confidence, you know, after Team Green got that-- They started with one flag in their quiver already as a ten day bonus, and, uh, when they got the tic-tac-toe flag right away, I was concerned.

But then when we rocked out the last two challenges, we were starting on level-- It was a level playing field, and I felt confident about that.

As the day progressed, you had to deal with weather.

It was cold, rainy, things started tightening up, and you know, it was just miserable.

Dan: How about solving those riddles and knowing where to place the flags?

Austen: The riddles were hard.

And things that you thought would definitely go in certain places, they did not go there.

Dan keeps putting more and more red flags up.

I'm getting nervous, because I can't remember how many flags we ended up earning.

And when you made that call, did you realize that it was a relative that could help?

Austen: I did realize that it was a relative, and immediately got excited, and wanted to know how she was gonna help us.

Mike: Dan puts in another flag, and another, and the suspense is palpable.

Well, Team Red, you worked hard.

And you placed... ten flags.

Is that enough?

When Dan said that we had gotten ten flags, I thought that that was a competitive number of flags.

Paris: Dan says ten flags, and I'm immediately racking my brain trying to figure out how many flags we placed.

Dan: Team Green.

Were you surprised at how things started on these steps three hours ago?

- We started off, uh, pretty strong, because we came into this challenge with a Day 10 benefit which included a flag.

When they gained on us during the last two, when they, uh, won the eating competition and the Frisbee competition, I felt like it was fair game and that it could go either way Austen: When Dan was putting in Team Green's flags, he got-- Started getting close to ten, and I started getting a little bit nervous.

You never know until it's over.

- And when you called your relative, did that boost your morale?

- It definitely did, to be on the phone with a relative and him have more flags that we could use.

- Well, at the end of the day, Team Green, Preshious: Is that 11?

Dan: You placed 11 flags.

Preshious: We did?

Austen: When he says Team Green has 11 flags, all I can think is, "Ah, we have one more flag in this quiver that is still on my back."

And my heart sinks a little.

- However, about halfway through this day, I sent a text to both teams.

- A new challenge opened up at Washington Square.

- With a new kind of flag.

- With a new kind of flag.

- Okay.

- That text told you about a third challenge.

- We know exactly where Washington Square is.

- Okay, Washington is right here.

We can't go to a challenge yet.

Dan: With a different type of flag, Team Green, were you able to make it to that third challenge?

- No, we did not go to that third challenge.

Dan: Team Red, did you go to that third challenge?

- Yes, we did.

Dan: Were you able to complete it?

Both: Yes.

We did.

- What did you receive?

- We received kill flags.

Mike: Three kill flags.

Dan: Three kill flags.

[gravelly voice] Ah, yes!

- Pull the green.

- Pull the green!

Mike: Let's do it.

This way, this way!

Which means, Team Red, you are the winners of Relative Race!

Congratulations to our champions.

[Austen crying and laughing] Austen: I did not know we were gonna win.

I knew that Team Green were fierce competitors.

Really, you did a great job.

It was so nice meeting you guys.

Preshious: Congratulations.

Mike: Congratulations, you guys did so good.

- Congrats.

- Thanks brother.

Thank you, thank you.

Preshious: Actually watching Dan take away each of those flags, that was definitely hard.

But it still goes back to family.

And, um, that means more to me than money.

Dan: In Relative Race, there is a game element, and there is a family element.

The game element has come to a close.

The family element continues, we hope, forever, but this, Team Red, is your check for $50,000.

Come and get it.

Congratulations.

Mike: Come on, Aust.

Austen: Winning this race is awesome!

[laughs] Mike: I am so overwhelmed with the benefits that we’ve gotten out of this journey.

Congratulations.

Austen: This is by far the hardest and most rewarding thing that I've ever done, and I think I can say the same for Dad.

It is the most painful thing that we maybe have ever done, and it is the best thing that we have ever done.

Preshious: I finally got answers; I finally feel closure, I feel complete now, I just feel at peace with everything.

Mike: I'll never be the same.

And, you know, the answers that I was looking for, I got.

Paris: This show has definitely changed us individually, and as a couple.

It has been an experience that we will never forget, and we are definitely humbly thankful for it.
