Darcy has ten minutes to escape a straitjacket, solve five rooms, and hit a button to stop a $250,000 explosion. He navigates a lock-pick cage, glue-covered monkey bars, a laser maze, and a water chamber with stuck doors. He makes it with 19 seconds left.
Chapters
I just started this 10-minute timer, and when it hits zero, that room all the way over there full of money will explode. And the only man that can stop it is this man in this straitjacket. This video is completely real time. You'll notice it's exactly 10 minutes long. There are no cuts. You see everything. And if Darcy does not escape his jacket and get through all 5 floors of this tower and press that button before the timer hits zero, his money explodes. All right, he's coming down. Okay, this is our first ever real-time shoot. I got to go quick.
Go, go.
Hey, hurry. Unhatch it.
Wait, how did he get out of that jacket so fast? It doesn't matter.
This next floor is 20 feet tall. Twice as hard to escape. Oh, hey, lower it, lower it, lower it!
Holy— you put fire in there?
Okay, so to get out of the metal cage, you need to use the lockpick on the floor. Hurry up!
Faster, Darcy!
Come on! Oh my gosh, come on! Even with a tool, picking a lock takes some fidgeting. He has to perfectly align all 3 pins inside the lock in order to break free. By the way, in order to prove this video is 100% real time, starting now, you're gonna see an unbroken shot of Darcy in the corner of the full video. And as of now, a minute has gone by and he's still And remember, he still needs to get through all 5 floors of this tower and press the button in time.
The button's right here!
To keep his quarter million dollars from exploding.
I'm getting so much anxiety. Please go faster.
Wait, Mac, he's making the loft.
Is he making good time or not?
All right, so now, yeah, but he's about to go down to an even more difficult room. Be careful, don't catch on fire.
Darcy, go! Come on, what are you doing, bro?
He's coming down the rope. He's in the glue room now. Welcome to floor number 4. Come on, he's already made it through room 4. This is floor number 4. Okay, so this entire The floor is now covered in glue. He has to choose between monkey barring or walking across the glue. And I would very much advise he does not walk across the glue.
So far, so good on the monkey bars. Keep going, buddy. Come on! Come on, Dustin!
Let's do it!
2 minutes has gone by. Put a door on your head, man. Oh, no. What do I do?
Why are you spinning? Stop spinning! If he falls, that is not good because that is the stickiest glue in the world. I'm not even joking. He'll lose his shoes. Oh, yeah. It's already been 2 minutes.
Oh!
He didn't touch the ground once. Man is glueless. He made it to the exit.
Oh, oh yeah.
He's about to lift up that lid. And now he's about to enter the craziest room. Keep taking us down. Watch this. You're going to see him jump down.
Oh my God, boys, I'm so tired.
All right, Darcy's struggling, but he's making his way down the rope to floor 3, the boulder room. This one should be relatively simple.
Oh yeah.
All right, Darcy, see that giant boulder?
Yes.
Well, these two ropes are the only thing preventing it from barreling down this ramp.
Darcy, there's a machete.
You need it. You're losing time. What do you think you do with the knife?
Gotta cut these ropes.
Cut that rope, you're running out of time. Normally in our videos when someone does something this slow, like, we cut it out, but this is live. We literally can't cut it out. I am freaking out. 7 minutes remain and he's almost done with one of two ropes.
There's like some James Bond stuff right here.
As he goes lower, the floors are gonna get harder and take longer. He's actually not making as good pace as you would want him to make. That rope is going to take him the longest because of how thick it is.
Oh, cut the rope! He's wasting a lot of time on this, dude. He's behind right now. This knife is so Doll, you're gonna have to hurry.
Under 7 minutes remain before your $250,000 explodes.
Jimmy, I'm going to die from old age before he finishes cutting this rope.
When he cuts that second rope, it's something crazy gonna happen. And Darcy, what do you think's gonna happen when you cut that rope? All right, I guess Darcy's locked in.
Jimmy, what is gonna happen when he cuts the rope? Oh, this boulder's gonna go, I guess, through the window. Tell me, please.
All you need to do is hold on to that when he cuts the rope. Okay, that's, that's I can handle that. There's no way I'm losing this $250 grand because of this stupid rope.
Jimmy, why did you find the slowest man possible at cutting a rope?
Darcy, hurry up! Like I told you at the start, this is real time. You're seeing everything. Obviously, Darcy is pretty occupied right now, but if he could talk to us, he'd probably tell us about the fact that he is a world-class escape artist. And apparently that doesn't translate over to cutting ropes.
Darcy, you spent a whole minute on this! He only has 6 minutes left! Oh my God.
Cut faster! Come on!
Bro, you have got to cut the rope a lot faster! My gosh!
Oh, he's about to finish the last rope. Darcy, push the boulder down the ramp.
So the boulder's just going to—
You'll see in a bit.
OK, he's pushing the boulder now.
Brace yourself.
What the heck?
Oh!
Whoa!
All right, keep going.
What?
Darcy, quick. I want you to grab the rope from the ceiling and attach it to your pants. And please make sure it is 100% connected, OK?
All right. What is he going to do?
OK, Darcy, now step down, go to the edge, and turn around. Watch this.
Watch what? Go to the green arrow.
Go to your right.
Here we go. Oh my god. This is what the jump rope—
Go to your right. Go to your right.
What is he going to do? What is he doing?
He's about to jump. All right, Darcy, now you need to jump. Oh my God.
How am I supposed to do this? Go, Darcy!
Darcy, jump!
Oh! Oh! What the— OK!
He has exactly 5 minutes left. Stop the crane! Stop the crane! Stop the crane! Stop the crane! All right, I don't know. The crane operator's drunk. You got to make it through the lasers. This floor is by far the hardest yet. Not only does he need to make it through this laser maze, but if he accidentally touches a laser, his money will instantly explode.
How am I going to do this? So many lasers.
While he's doing this laser room, I'm going to tell you guys about T-Mobile, my new wireless partner. Through here. Mack. What? You probably know T-Mobile from this coverage map. Yes, I do.
I do know that.
But here's the thing. OK. You know, great coverage is to be expected. OK. But what T-Mobile has that other carriers don't—
Look, look, he's halfway through the lasers.
Oh, he's on our side. But what makes T-Mobile special is they have something called Magenta Status. OK, what is Magenta Status? It's where they treat you like a VIP. OK. And just by using T-Mobile, you can get reduced costs on hotel rooms. You can get free in-flight Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi, access to VIP lounge.
Go, go, go!
All right, T-Mobile. Ah, T-Mobile, I'm stressing out. Sorry if I'm forgetting lines. And a bunch of other stuff. And the best part is, Matt—
It's right there, Jimmy.
Yes. Hey, let me finish the T-Mobile ad. Okay. And the best part is, it's all— Dude's jumping in the water. It's all available day one when you switch to T-Mobile. So if you're not currently using T-Mobile, start using now. You can get all these perks literally today.
I need to catch my breath here.
Check it out for yourself. Go to t-mobile.com/steps. Oh, he's in the water.
Oh my God.
All right, this is it. The last level. He now has to open the 4 valves in each corner of the room, allowing all the water to drain. Andre. Then he can escape out the front door and hit the button to save his money from blowing up. You got to turn these.
Turn these things. Turn. Turn the knob. What's he doing?
I actually don't help him. Well, let's see if he's smart enough to win the money. Will he be able to hold his breath long enough to unscrew all 4 valves, or will he run out of time? There's a lot coming out.
Hey, you did it.
While this guy is doing this intense challenge, I want to tell you about the greatest tasting chocolate on the planet, Feastables.
Matt.
What do you think of Feastables?
Oh, it's my favorite.
Mac, oh no, he's going to the one he finished. Hey, hey, no, no, no. Hey, do the other one. Do the other one.
You got to keep going. There are 4.
How much time is left? Oh, 3 minutes. Oh, oh. Yeah, he actually kind of just wasted like 30 seconds.
He could do this if he just hurries up. Come on, catch your breath. Let's go.
Mac, he's about to go under. Go around the side. See if it opens.
He didn't do it yet. He didn't do it yet.
Keep turning.
Oh, he did it. Other side.
Other side.
Oh my God. Down 2 to go, baby. All right.
He's now making his way to the other side.
You got to go swim down.
Oh my God. This is coming down to the wire. I cannot imagine how absolutely exhausted he must be.
Oh. All right.
So he has 2 minutes and 10 seconds 2, right over here. Press that red button or his money will explode. It's coming down to the wire.
You got it. You got it.
Don't know what to do. Normally we do cuts and edits, but this is like real time. Everything I'm saying is making it.
Oh, he's got less than 2 minutes.
Hey, less than 2 minutes. He's getting close. He's getting close.
He got it. He just did it. He got all 4. He did it.
All right, the final door. 1 minute and 50 seconds.
All right, what now?
All right, now he has to open this door and run to press the button.
How much time does he have?
Just under 2 minutes.
How is he going to pull this off? I don't get it.
You're going to get wet if you stand there. You might want to back up. Why? Open it!
There is so much more water that still needs to drain. All right, Matt.
Hey.
Go faster.
Matt, in case he fails, that bomb will blow up. So I need you to just like hide behind the sandbags over there if he messes up. Okay? Okay. Just trust me. You have to unscrew all the latches.
Get him out of there. Come on.
Almost a minute.
Come on. Come on. Bro.
I don't know if he's going to make it at this point. The door is stuck because there's too much water pressure. He needs to wait for it to drain more.
Wait, Jimmy, the water's starting to come out the front door.
Turn it, turn it, turn it and pull it.
Pull it. You got to go, buddy. You have got to go.
He's stuck in that one. He can't get it.
Something's wrong.
Bro, this is it. He's going to fail. He can't figure out how to open the door.
Oh, he literally has 45 seconds to hit this button. It's stuck. Come on. Bro, he can't get these latches off to save his life. Bro. What is he doing? Come on, come on. 30 seconds.
Come on, come on.
You gotta slide through that door to hit the button. Go, go, go. You're almost out, guys. Go, go. Come on. Hurry before the bomb blows up. Yeah!
And after he won with 19 seconds left, we cleared the money out of the way of the bomb and asked what he was going to spend it on. I'm having a baby tomorrow. What? And then we blew the building up. I hope you enjoyed the explosion. We have to make this video exactly 10 minutes. Goodbye!
