At the Pit Stop in Manila, teams were automatically given their next clue, instructing them to head to the "City of Angels", Los Angeles, and a manila envelope that Phil told them not to open until they were instructed to do so. Upon arrival, they would have to find a marked Ford Explorer and use the Ford Sync voice control feature to get their next clue. The clue instructed them to head to Downtown City Hall and to the film clerk, so their film permit would be approved. At City Hall, the film clerk instructed teams to head to Southwest Marine Warehouse and give their permit to the assistant director on set. After giving the permit to the assistant director, he gave them their next clue, which they discovered was a Roadblock asking them, "Who wants to be a Hollywood action hero?" After picking a stunt coordinator, one racer trained for jumping out of a third story window. In the final run, they had to pick up a satchel and then break through a window made of breakaway glass to land safely on a pile of boxes below, making sure to land on their back. Once done, they would receive their next clue, which was in their satchel, making sure to take off their safety gear first. However, the Roadblock was also the elimination poin for the last team to arrive. The first three teams could continue racing.
The clue from the Roadblock instructed teams to head to the United States Coast Guard base on Terminal Island and find one of the marked response boats for their next clue. Teams discovered they were to participate in a search and rescue exercise with the Coast Guard. They would have to find an Oscar crash test dummy weighing 185 pounds (84 kg), set off a safety smoke bomb, and get Oscar back to the response boat. Back on shore, they were given their next clue, sending them to Conglobal Industries for another clue. At Conglobal Industries, they found another Roadblock, asking them "Who can't contain themselves?" Teams had to search the shipping containers for nine that were labeled with the names of cities that they visited on the race, alongside color-coded numbers for each team. Without taking notes, teams had to memorize the numbers in the order they visited the cities (Saint Thomas, London, Lerwick, Copenhagen, Marrakesh, Palermo, Valletta, Singapore, Manila). Once they had the correct order, the container foreman would give them their next clue in one of the other shipping containers. The clue directed teams to the Finish Line at the Point Vicente Light in Rancho Palos Verdes.
This was where the point between Amy & Maya and Misti & Jim were 'back-to-back' towards the final destination, which eventually Amy & Maya arrive first, thus winning the USD 1 million!
