Blake is given a challenge to protect $500,000 from various attacks. He has 24 hours to prepare for the first phase, which involves tanks firing missiles at the money. Blake uses his credit card to buy materials and builds a fortress around the money using shipping containers, water tanks, and cars. The tanks fire 20 rounds, but the money survives.
The next phase involves a massive explosion, with 100 crates of TNT detonated around the money. Blake prepares by removing flammable materials and adding more protection to his fortress. He also uses a school bus to block the blast.
The third phase involves dropping flaming cars filled with gasoline onto the money, along with catapulting flaming balls. Blake builds a pyramid-shaped structure to deflect the cars, but his water truck is late, and he has to improvise.
After the attacks, it appears that the money has been destroyed, but Blake is given an offer to either walk away with $100,000 or get a third and final chance to compete in a future video. Blake chooses to come back and will appear in a future video in February.
