00:00I chained this massive rock to a random guy.
00:03Hi.
00:06And when this chain runs out, it's going to pull him to the bottom of the ocean.
00:11And this is only the first of seven death traps we have planned for him.
00:15Like balancing hundreds of feet in the air,
00:18stealing from a thousand pound grizzly bear,
00:21driving through a literal minefield,
00:23and so much more.
00:25And if he can survive all of that,
00:27I'll give him half a million dollars.
00:30Let's go. Here we go.
00:32But first things first, he'll have to escape this trap,
00:35which, like all of them, is so dangerous,
00:38he had to hire trained safety professionals on set.
00:40And every second it takes him to unlock his chain,
00:43he sinks deeper into the ocean.
00:49Oh, he's up. He did it.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Congrats.
00:53Woo.
00:54You're now one step closer to half a million dollars.
00:57Yeah.
00:58But escaping this next trap won't be so easy.
01:02Welcome to the second death trap.
01:04Open the cage.
01:05What?
01:05Take off your blindfold and turn around.
01:07Oh my God.
01:09This real life,
01:101,000 pound grizzly bear
01:12is now guarding your money.
01:14I think that 50 grand is his now.
01:16And like every trap in this video,
01:17your money has been split up.
01:19However many bags of 50 grand you can get to the exit
01:22moves on with you to the next trap.
01:24The challenge begins now.
01:26Good luck.
01:26All right.
01:27I'm just going to get froggy.
01:28Oh, he's getting so close to the bear.
01:30You went for that one of all of them?
01:36How are you staying so calm?
01:38I'm not.
01:38I look this way,
01:39but the reality is I'm not calm.
01:42The bear just looked at you.
01:43Walked by.
01:44All right.
01:44Be careful, bro.
01:45Even though Byron was absolutely terrified
01:49of getting torn to shreds by this bear.
01:52Bro, the bear is literally standing on one of the bags.
01:55He's going to rip that open.
01:56The bear was fixated on one bag of money.
01:59He's preoccupied.
02:00Byron snuck around the room,
02:02easily collecting the rest
02:03until the bag the bear was eating was the last one.
02:06The last 50 grand is currently being eaten by the bear.
02:09Byron, you don't have to do this.
02:11You can stop.
02:12If you're too afraid to steal that last bag from the bear,
02:15you can quit now
02:16and just move on to the next trap
02:18with the money you did get.
02:21No, I'm not quitting.
02:23Well, be careful.
02:24Don't grab it yet.
02:25Just maybe wait until he gets bored of it.
02:27He's trying to distract the bear away from his money.
02:30Hey, hey.
02:30Well, it's kind of working.
02:32He's trying to get a killing machine to go over to him.
02:34It might be the first human ever
02:35to want a 1,000-pound bear to come towards him.
02:38Oh, my God.
02:38He's going to the last bag.
02:44Oh, God.
02:45He did it.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:47The rest.
02:48Woo.
02:49Oh, my God.
02:50And for a third of seven death traps,
02:52you might recognize the challenge.
02:53But we put a new spin on it just for Byron.
02:56Take off your blindfold.
02:57Welcome to the next death trap.
02:59Oh, no, Jimmy.
03:01We're not even 100 feet in the air yet.
03:04Oh, my God.
03:06Brain pistol.
03:10Welcome to the balance beam of death.
03:15Actually, we'll call it the $500,000 balance beam.
03:20Your 500 grand is dangling 100 feet in the air.
03:24You must balance on this narrow beam.
03:26Unlock each bag of 50 grand
03:28and throw them on the target below.
03:30Any money that lands on the target,
03:32you move on with it.
03:33And any money that ends up in the water
03:35is lost forever.
03:37Oh, my God.
03:39You chicken, though?
03:40You going to walk across?
03:41The only thing on this platform
03:42that's chicken are your legs.
03:45This is for you, kids.
03:51Oh, he's on.
03:52First step.
03:52Oh, my God.
03:53He's doing it.
03:54He's actually doing it.
03:56Oh, my gosh.
03:57Look at his feet.
03:58This is insane.
03:59Now he's got to reach for the money.
04:00Oh, he got the money.
04:02This is scary because, look,
04:03he's actually leaning back.
04:04Bro, what's going through your mind?
04:05You're like a scarecrow.
04:07Jimmy, you're talking too much right now.
04:08You're not talking enough.
04:10Oh, God.
04:11All right.
04:12Are you going to throw from here?
04:17Oh, oh, oh.
04:19He landed one.
04:22Don't celebrate too early, Byron.
04:23You still have nine bags to go.
04:25He's lining his shot up.
04:27Biggie, your legs.
04:27My leg is cramping right now.
04:29Come massage it right now for me.
04:31Oh, he threw it.
04:35He's two for two.
04:36All right.
04:36Can he keep his streak alive?
04:38Third bag is off.
04:39Buzzer.
04:40Yeah.
04:42He has $200,000 on his target.
04:44And Byron isn't even halfway across yet.
04:47You feel that wind, Byron?
04:49Oh, yeah.
04:50The wind is really picking up.
04:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:52It's very unstable.
04:56It's actually shaking like crazy.
05:01Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:05Oh, oh, he almost fell.
05:07God.
05:08Don't pass out on me.
05:11Oh, he's just dropping him.
05:12He's just dropping him.
05:16Oh, no, it bounced off.
05:18He lost 50K.
05:20Come on, baby.
05:22And if you're wondering who this maniac is,
05:24his name is Byron,
05:26a battle-hardened Army Ranger
05:28who's fought in the world's most dangerous war zone.
05:31And above all else,
05:32he wants to bring this money home to his kids.
05:37Let's go.
05:38Come on, baby.
05:39That's it.
05:39That's it.
05:41Oh.
05:43That's already $100,000 in the water.
05:45And if he falls now,
05:46he's losing another $100,000.
05:48We got to land these next two.
05:53Right on the money.
05:55Yeah.
05:55All right, the last bag.
05:57I'm in my head right now.
05:59Byron, do it for your kids.
06:12Byron, you lost a lot of money on this round.
06:15You've already lost $150,000,
06:17and you're only on the third trap.
06:19Jimmy.
06:21Yeah?
06:22I have a deal for you.
06:23You give me $100,000 back,
06:25and I'll jump off this.
06:27$50,000, and you have a deal.
06:28$75,000.
06:30Sure.
06:30Just because I want to see it.
06:31You're 100 feet in the air.
06:32What are you talking about?
06:45Oh.
06:46Oh.
06:46Byron, you're crazy.
06:47I've been told that once or twice.
06:50Byron, you and your $425,000
06:53are moving on to trap four out of seven.
06:56Take off your blindfold.
06:58Welcome to the minefield of death.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Jimmy.
07:03Buried beneath this minefield
07:04are 20 gargantuan bombs
07:06completely hidden out of sight.
07:09Come on, Jimmy.
07:10Your job is to drive your money
07:12across the minefield,
07:13but be careful which path you take,
07:15because if you accidentally trigger a mine,
07:18all your money inside of that car
07:20will burn to ashes.
07:22Roger that.
07:23But lucky for you,
07:24you have five chances to save your money.
07:26You can put it all in one car.
07:27You can spread them amongst the five cars.
07:29It's all up to you.
07:30So, this is car number one.
07:32How much money do you want to put in it?
07:33None.
07:34Predictable.
07:35How about car number two?
07:3725K.
07:37You're going to put 25 grand?
07:39No, no, no.
07:40You can put it all in the last one
07:41and just pray you don't hit a mine.
07:4425K in this vehicle.
07:46Yes, let's go.
07:47And let's put everything else in the last car.
07:49Any sane person would not have chosen
07:51to spread their money outside of the last car.
07:54But as I'm sure you've already picked up on,
07:56Byron's not exactly what I'd call normal.
07:58So, one of the great benefits to this challenge
08:01is that most of my experiences with roadside bombings,
08:04I'm not sitting in this vehicle this time.
08:06Wait, so you were in a car that drove over a real mine?
08:09Yep.
08:10The terrorists buried a roadside bombing too deep
08:12and when it went off,
08:14it just created a big bump in the road.
08:16I didn't know that.
08:17Please tell me this doesn't give you PTSD.
08:19No, I mean, not really.
08:21Lovely.
08:22All right, anyways, to the bunker.
08:25Ooh, buddy.
08:26And now, the remote control.
08:28It is rigged up to car number one.
08:31Obviously, you hit a mine, the car will blow up.
08:34Okay, guys, here we go.
08:38He's moving.
08:39This first car has no money in it.
08:41It's technically risk-free.
08:43But the more of the map you uncover in this car,
08:45the better your odds are of saving your money in the next car.
08:48You could take the right path, you could take the left path.
08:51I'm gonna go left.
08:52I'm terrified.
08:52There could be an explosion at any point.
08:54Oh, no.
08:58Oh!
09:01That is not left.
09:03One car down, four more to go.
09:05But this time, $25,000 is on the line.
09:08All right, here we go.
09:10Yo!
09:10Whoa!
09:11I got a hitchhiker!
09:12Carl!
09:13What is he doing?
09:14Carl's gonna make sure your car burns extra good this time.
09:17I would really avoid this next mine.
09:19Thanks, Carl!
09:19On this first path, he accidentally picked the side that had to mine,
09:23which means the right side is clear.
09:25Do you regret putting $25,000 in this one?
09:27Yo, 100,000%.
09:28He now has another fork in the road.
09:30You gonna go left or right?
09:31Yeah, I'm gonna stick with the right.
09:33So far, so good.
09:34I could have just stayed in there.
09:37Oh!
09:37Two cars down, and $25,000 of your money is up in flames.
09:44Do we have to talk about it?
09:45That amount of money could have bought you a non-exploded car.
09:48Carl, he could kill you just so you don't know.
09:49No, I'm very aware.
09:50I'm very aware.
09:51All right, Byron, you haven't even made it halfway through yet.
09:54You only have two more failures before you send your remaining $400,000 down this road of explosives.
10:00At this pace, you will lose all the money.
10:02Oh, my goodness.
10:03Send out your third car.
10:05Here we go.
10:05You got this.
10:06You're the bomb.
10:07Nah!
10:10Just stand out there for the rest.
10:13Now you can focus better.
10:14So right now, I am completely unable to see my vehicle.
10:18Oh, it's killing me that I don't know where the mines are.
10:21Any second I can floor.
10:22God, I don't want to look.
10:23You're coming up on the next 50-50.
10:26Big decision.
10:27You're going right.
10:28Yep.
10:29My heart.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:30I'm so nervous.
10:32Don't forget, the more mines you trigger with your empty cars,
10:35the safer that $400,000 becomes on your final drive.
10:38Yeah.
10:39So far, so good.
10:40Where are you thinking?
10:41I'm going to go left.
10:42What made you pick left?
10:43It's just a harder route.
10:45If it's hard, I'm doing it.
10:46That's what she said also.
10:47This car, this is a serious moment.
10:48Sorry.
10:49This is intense.
10:50Yeah.
10:50Over halfway.
10:51No bombed yet, but there could be several between this car and the finish line.
10:56I'm going to stay committed.
10:56Oh, he doesn't care.
10:58She doesn't care.
11:02Oh!
11:04So you now have a winning path.
11:06The question is, can you remember it?
11:07No, but we're going to go.
11:09So using his last empty car, Byron made sure he had the route memorized.
11:14You're good.
11:15Remember the route.
11:16Because for the final car, all $400,000 of his money was now on the line.
11:22Now that you know the path, I say we do something special for the final car.
11:25I don't trust you anymore.
11:27This time, we're going to walk behind the car.
11:29Let's do it.
11:30Onward!
11:30So, if you accidentally trigger a mine, now we'll get a front row view to his money blown up.
11:36You sure this is the path you took?
11:37Yes.
11:38We're literally in between two mines right now.
11:40That guy right there is our safety expert, and he keeps telling us to back up.
11:43So Byron, keep back up.
11:44Why have a safety expert?
11:45Carl!
11:46Jimmy!
11:47Stay on the track!
11:47What are you doing?
11:48We're walking through a minefield.
11:50I'm the wrong one?
11:51Keep driving!
11:52Wait, I don't know if I remember the path.
11:54I actually don't remember if this is right.
11:56Is it right or is it left?
11:57Wait, wait, stop.
11:58Wait, he's going so quick.
11:58You're one mine away from ending this entire video.
12:02Oh, God.
12:03Stop, stop.
12:06Congrats!
12:07Your money survived!
12:09Woo!
12:10Here you go.
12:12It's on my neck.
12:14Okay, here, I got you.
12:14Don't touch, don't touch.
12:16Wait, wait, the car's in the car!
12:17Oh, the car!
12:18Oh, well, stop it!
12:19Could you imagine if that triggered a mine in blue?
12:21Oh, it's going back.
12:22Wait, it doesn't have brakes.
12:23Jimmy said it doesn't have brakes and got behind it.
12:26Well, yeah, I had to break it.
12:27All right, anyways, duck behind the car.
12:29Why are we ducking?
12:30All the mines you didn't blow up.
12:32Oh, God.
12:32We're going to blow up now.
12:36Let's go to the next step trap.
12:38We just walked there.
12:39Byron's a little harder to kill than I thought.
12:41But seriously, he'll be terrified when he sees the twist on this next trap.
12:45Byron, take your blindfold off.
12:48For this next trap, you're going to be buried alive.
12:52Oh, my God.
12:53You're going to lay in that coffin.
12:55Then I'm going to seal it, cover you with a ton of dirt, and reveal the challenge.
12:59Do you trust me?
12:59No.
13:01Whenever you're ready, climb in the coffin.
13:03There's a hatchet there, which you'll need.
13:05You won't be needing this ladder anymore.
13:07Watch out, Carl.
13:09Seal the coffin.
13:10Sorry, Byron.
13:11I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm actually helping you seal me in a coffin.
13:14Permission to bury you alive.
13:16You have my permission to bury me alive.
13:19Get to shove him, boys.
13:22Oh, my God.
13:23Oh, Byron, I'm so sorry.
13:25No, you're not.
13:27While we're burying you, check underneath your pillow, you'll have the greatest chocolate
13:31in the world, Feastables, and the greatest meat snack on the planet, Jack Leaks.
13:35Yep, yep, I've got him.
13:36You have big muscles, right?
13:37One might say.
13:38And big muscles require protein, wouldn't you say?
13:41I would.
13:42Which is why the duos I gave you is pretty convenient, because it's protein-packed and made with
13:46100% real beef.
13:48Quite honestly, probably in the most uncomfortable position I've ever been in my life.
13:52And at least I'm going to have strong muscles for my duos.
13:55Oh, the pride.
13:58He's done.
14:00You are officially buried alive.
14:02How does it feel?
14:03I've been better.
14:05As you can see, there's a giant flaming furnace with a conveyor belt leading towards it.
14:10Pull the lever.
14:12Oh, there it goes.
14:14This is not your money.
14:15This is test money.
14:16In a moment, this conveyor belt will start slowly dropping your money into this fiery furnace.
14:22Behind your knee, you're going to see an axe.
14:24You're going to use that axe to break your coffin, somehow traverse through all this mulch,
14:29and turn that lever off, which will then stop the conveyor belt, a.k.a. stopping your money from burning.
14:35Now, Carl, turn it off.
14:37Okay.
14:38Put his money on the conveyor belt.
14:40I'll die before I quit.
14:41It's on you.
14:43Give me a countdown.
14:44Three, two, one.
14:47Pull the lever.
14:51All right, your money is officially falling into the furnace.
14:54Good luck.
14:55Do you not feel bad burning his money?
14:56Of course I do.
14:57I feel like your actions contradict your words.
15:00He needs to break through the lid of his coffin.
15:03I need to get out of here, bro.
15:04It's getting everywhere.
15:05And while he's digging out of the hole, I want to tell you about Jack Link's new product,
15:08Duos, because it's actually two separate flavors in the same bag.
15:11This bag, for example, has their original flavor and their teriyaki.
15:14Wollies, give it a try.
15:15I really enjoy the original and teriyaki.
15:18You want to cook it up?
15:19Go for the mango and jalapeno.
15:21Scan the QR code or click the link in the description to buy now.
15:24Look at all his money just coming up.
15:26Oh, whoa, I just caught a dollar.
15:28That was crazy.
15:29Some of you are going to think that's fake, but I don't even know how I would fake that.
15:32Byron, your money's burning.
15:33This money is making his fire bigger.
15:36Keep going, Byron.
15:38Get out of there.
15:39Over $10,000 of your money has burned.
15:43Oh, my gosh.
15:43What?
15:45Oh, this is getting out.
15:57You got it!
15:59Oh, my gosh.
16:00Go cut yourself.
16:07Yes!
16:08You're going to kill my zombie.
16:10No!
16:11Yeah!
16:13Oh, he's full of dirt.
16:14Before we go to the next death trap, you let me know what you think of Jack Link's Duo,
16:20the brand new product.
16:21You are legit phenomenal.
16:23Byron, I hope that jerky gave you a lot of protein, because you're going to need it for
16:27this sixth trap.
16:28Welcome to the next trap.
16:30I'm a little bit nervous on this one.
16:31Behind you is your $384,000.
16:34Don't move.
16:35Team of the trap!
16:36Oh, my gosh.
16:42What do you think the trap is?
16:43I'm going up somewhere.
16:45In order to pass this trap, you must scale up this 60-foot tower while hanging this money
16:50behind you.
16:51And this trap is different than the last.
16:52It is all or nothing here.
16:54If you fall one time or drop a single bag, just like in other videos like this, you will
16:59lose everything, and the video will end.
17:01But there is a twist.
17:03You don't have to carry all of it.
17:05To make yourself lighter, you can leave some of the money behind.
17:09And all of this money literally weighs 200 pounds.
17:11So it's up to you to decide how much money to carry to the top.
17:15So one of the things I'm thinking about right now is leaving it as high up on this as possible.
17:22Ah.
17:23So if he leaves them on that platform, that's basically three or four feet less that he's
17:28going to have to be pulling the bags.
17:30If he somehow cheats this trap, I'm never casting an army ranger again.
17:33If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
17:35I can tell.
17:36I'm going to be honest.
17:37I don't think you can carry it to the top.
17:38Let's push this body and see what it can do.
17:40You're crazy, man.
17:41I want to go up top.
17:42No shot he's making it.
17:43A lot of people in my life didn't believe that I could do it and accomplish the things
17:47that I've accomplished.
17:47So my goal is to prove that I can.
17:51It's about that time where you have to decide how much money are you going to attempt to
17:56drag up here?
17:57It's all or nothing, brother.
17:59You are a psychopath.
18:00If just one extra bag is too heavy for you, you'll risk losing all of it.
18:04You don't even want to just leave 50,000 behind.
18:07Nope.
18:08I'm going.
18:09All right.
18:09He is officially off.
18:10If he falls, the video ends.
18:12He gets no money whatsoever.
18:14And as soon as all these bags are suspended in the air, the full weight will be on his
18:19back.
18:19That's way heavier than I was thinking.
18:21Look at this trail of bags behind him.
18:23He is literally climbing up a 90 degree incline, carrying 200 pounds of money.
18:27What's going through your mind?
18:28You broke the heat on this one, Jimmy.
18:30He's going fast.
18:33Oh my God.
18:33He's falling.
18:38He is just brute forcing it.
18:40Oh God.
18:45All right.
18:45The hardest part is coming up.
18:47Oh my God.
18:48I was there.
18:49Jump.
18:50No.
18:51Yeah.
18:54He is 200 pounds long.
18:55I can't give up.
18:57Oh gosh.
18:58Let me get out of this way.
18:59Whoa.
19:00This is insanely impressive.
19:02You have no idea how heavy this is.
19:03People don't realize how heavy money is.
19:14And when you have over 300,000 bills, it adds up.
19:17You only have one death trap left between you and me wiring you all this money.
19:22Oh God.
19:22Jimmy, let's do this.
19:25All right.
19:25To the junkyard.
19:26Where lies Byron's final obstacle between him and his money.
19:30Are you ready?
19:31As ready as I'll ever be.
19:32Let's do this.
19:34Why are you flexing?
19:35When I'm uncomfortable, I just start randomly flexing.
19:38Okay.
19:39Take off your blindfold.
19:40Welcome to the final trap.
19:43Oh.
19:44You must protect your money right here.
19:47Okay.
19:47From that bomb.
19:49Oh my God.
19:51I'm giving you three construction workers.
19:54Holy crap.
19:55A ton of machinery.
19:56Okay.
19:56And you can use anything in this junkyard to protect it.
19:59In eight hours, that bomb will drop.
20:02Gotta go.
20:03Good luck.
20:03In past videos, even when given 24 hours, contestants have failed to protect their money.
20:09If Byron succeeds in a third of the time, it will be a first in Beast history.
20:13So now, we got to figure out what's flammable, what's not flammable.
20:17This roof is plastic, so that's going to burn.
20:18We don't want that.
20:19You have a ton of hoods over here.
20:21Do you think these will burn?
20:23No.
20:23So this could be like your blast shield at the top.
20:25Yeah.
20:26All right, guys.
20:27I want to get as many of these hoods over here as possible.
20:30All right.
20:30If it burns, there's like that felt on it.
20:32Just rip that felt off.
20:34No fiberglass.
20:35No nothing.
20:35It has to be metal and metal only.
20:37Do you think these would be of any use?
20:38Not at all.
20:39But you could get rid of the plastic jugs and use the metal.
20:42Yep.
20:43Okay.
20:44So what you're seeing me do right now is grabbing my cages that are going to end up becoming my buffer.
20:49Now the flammable plastic is gone.
20:51It has this nice metal frame to put around the money.
20:54That's smart.
20:55Do you think these would be of any use?
20:56Not at all.
20:57Considering what the bomb is potentially made out of and there's a liquid accelerant inside,
21:01it's going to burn fast.
21:03And this AstroTurf right here is flammable.
21:06But it looks good on camera, though.
21:07I don't care.
21:09Okay.
21:09I figured he would say that.
21:10They've got to make sure they remove everything flammable because the bomb might increase the
21:15temperature in there so much that it could light on fire.
21:17So now we're going to take this.
21:19Oh, and you're going to make like a shield with hoods.
21:21Yep.
21:21So bring in our containers.
21:23Then we're going to start stacking them as high as I can get them.
21:26Okay.
21:26Creating a multi-story tomb of metal until basically I'm told I can't build this any higher.
21:33You can build it as high as you want.
21:34Okay.
21:34Well, it's going to keep going.
21:36Okay.
21:36Good luck.
21:37And as confident as he felt about his plan, Byron thought there was still a piece missing
21:41from his puzzle.
21:41We're going to create another layer of these over the top of it.
21:44But I want to get that money as secured as possible.
21:47And I know I said the less I have on there that's flammable, the better.
21:50But if it's insulated, it may not affect the money at all.
21:53And Indiana Jones, this literally survived a nuke.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Well, they don't make things that way anymore.
21:58So...
21:59You don't think this would survive?
22:00I mean, you know, it could.
22:02Well, I guess Byron gave my Indiana Jones joke some thought.
22:06Because it looks like he just found the holy grail in money incinerating defense.
22:10Oh, what is this?
22:11What did we just find?
22:14Let's flip this.
22:15One, two, three.
22:16Flip.
22:17Oh, yeah.
22:18Oh, yeah.
22:19Yes.
22:20So much yes right here.
22:21We're going to close the money inside of this, then bury it at the bottom of my barricade.
22:25Now that Byron had everything he needed, it was full steam ahead.
22:29Got it.
22:30So, yeah, we're going to start laying those across.
22:32Over the top.
