Tim attempts to learn enough Tagalog (Filipino) in four days to be interviewed live on television. Viewers will get insights from master teachers and memory experts like Ed Cooke. If a language supposedly “takes a lifetime” to learn, what can you do in less than a week?

Tim heads to New York City to get his ass kicked by the “Michael Jordan of jiu-jitsu,” world champion Marcelo Garcia. He is helped by jiu-jitsu black belt and chess master Josh Waitzkin (inspiration for "Searching for Bobby Fischer"), who leads him up to the final test: a choking challenge.

Tim and Terry Laughlin head to the tropics to take a fearful fan (Sarah) from zero to hero in record time. She can’t swim a single lap in a pool. Can they get her to long-distance swimming in the open ocean in less than one week? They’ll need all the tools in the toolkit.
