Blake is given the challenge to protect $500,000 from being destroyed by various attacks. He is given 24 hours to prepare for each phase of the challenge.
The first phase involves five tanks firing 20 rounds at the money. Blake builds a fortress using shipping containers, cars, and other materials to protect the money. Despite being hit multiple times, the money survives.
The second phase involves a massive explosion using 100 crates of TNT. Blake prepares by removing flammable materials, using water to cool down the area, and building a wall using cement bricks and cars. The money survives the explosion.
The third phase involves dropping flaming cars filled with gasoline on top of the money, as well as hurling flaming balls from a catapult. Blake builds a pyramid-shaped structure using shipping containers to deflect the cars and uses a water truck to cool down the area. Unfortunately, the wood used to prop up the containers catches fire, and the money is exposed to the flames.
After the flames are extinguished, it is revealed that the money is badly damaged and most of it is unusable. Blake is given two options: walk away with $100,000 or get a third and final chance to compete in a future video. Blake chooses the latter, and the video ends with a cliffhanger, promising a future challenge for Blake.
