MrBeast Offers a Hired "Assassin" $100,000 to Stab Him With a Rubber Knife Before Midnight
MrBeast ミスタービースト
The challenge is simple. Jimmy (MrBeast) hands a man he introduces as a real assassin a rubber knife. If the assassin stabs Jimmy with it by the end of the day, the assassin wins $100,000. Jimmy spends the day trying to stay ahead with a tank, a hotel, a Lamborghini, a helicopter, two bank vaults, and a carnival. Every stop is built to delay the assassin until the midnight deadline.
The Head Start and the Tracker
The video opens with Chandler and Karl tied up with rope. Jimmy drives off and tells them he has left a car in the woods. Chandler and Karl end up joining the assassin, and the group's first job is to find that car.
Jimmy deliberately gives up some of his advantage. The assassin can follow him the whole time, because the "Cars" backpack Jimmy carries holds both the $100,000 prize and a tracker that sends out his real-time location. When Karl asks how Jimmy found an assassin for the video, the assassin answers, "I found Jimmy, he didn't find me."
The Train Warehouse and the Tank
Jimmy's first hiding place is a large warehouse holding dozens of train cars, which he expects will take the assassin a long time to search. The tracker leads the assassin straight there. The assassin says he has watched earlier videos where people chased Jimmy and were mocked as "nerds," and he says that won't happen this time. He plans to park next to the building and slip in through an open door. On the way in, he spots one of Jimmy's cameras.
Jimmy says giving the assassin a car made the challenge look easy, and that it's "time for a reality check." Once the group is inside, Jimmy radios Chris, who is sitting in a tank. Asked where the tank came from, Jimmy only says, "Don't worry about that." Chris drives the tank over the assassin's car while Jimmy leaves in a getaway vehicle. When the group comes back out and finds the car "literally a pancake," Jimmy tells them they can take an Uber to the next location or buy a new car. They take the Uber, and the tracker shows Jimmy heading east on the highway, already far ahead.
The Hotel: Every Room Rented, 100 Cameras
The next stop is a hotel where Jimmy's team has rented every room. Jimmy leaves the room keys for the assassin and waits on the 20th floor. More than a hundred cameras cover the building. He says he is hiding in one of over 200 rooms and has also put "a little something" in every room. When the hunters open one, they find loud noise inside, but not Jimmy.
The assassin gives away his own position by calling Jimmy on the walkie-talkie. Jimmy points out that a walkie call means the assassin is within radio range, so he must already be in the hotel, which Jimmy hadn't known. Karl admits, "That's my bad." Jimmy then follows the group on the cameras as they search the 10th floor and later the 18th. The assassin even holds up a hand to cover one camera, and Jimmy reminds him there are a hundred more.
Turning the Assassin Against Chandler and Karl
With the clock running down, Jimmy makes an offer. He tells the assassin he will never find Jimmy without a hint. Jimmy will reveal his exact location if the assassin ties up Chandler and Karl in room 1802. The assassin agrees. Jimmy tells Karl it's "not personal," and Karl answers, "It feels pretty personal." Chandler is too tired to resist. Karl apologizes to the assassin for not being much help and says, "Stab him good." Jimmy notes that the whole time he is only two floors above them.
After the two are tied up, Jimmy gives the hint that he is on the 20th floor and urges the assassin on with "Do it for your daughter!"
Escaping by Elevator, Lamborghini, and Helicopter
As the assassin climbs toward him, Jimmy tries to film a sponsor read without getting stabbed. He asks the assassin over the radio for one more minute, gets no answer, and starts moving while still reading.
Jimmy explains why the assassin didn't just ride the elevator to the top: he hid it behind a secret wall. The wall works "a little too good," and Jimmy walks into it himself. Once he is out of reach, he plays the assassin the sound of the door closing behind him and says, "Later, nerd." The assassin's reaction is that Jimmy "just ninja flipped outta here again."
Jimmy leaves in a Lamborghini driven by Tareq. Tareq has never driven one before and has to work out how to drive it on the spot. The assassin, now running down 20 flights of stairs alone, says part of him wishes he still had "the boys" with him. He reaches the street just after the Lamborghini pulls away. The car takes Jimmy to a helicopter, which flies him toward a bank. Jimmy says the helicopter put him far ahead and left the assassin less than three hours to win.
The Two Bank Vaults
At the bank, Jimmy says he is hiding in a double-reinforced steel vault and doesn't think the assassin has enough time to break in. The assassin arrives, kicks out a door, and goes into the first vault he finds. Jimmy and the crew celebrate because the trick worked.
The bank has two vaults. The assassin went into the lower, easier one, and Jimmy is in another vault directly above it. The assassin is now trapped with Nolan. When the assassin picks up a sledgehammer, Jimmy says the vault's steel reinforcement makes it pointless. The assassin admits, "I really did fall for it, pretty bad at this one."
Hauling the Vault Away
Jimmy then has Chris attach hooks to the vault. The only thing between the safe and the road is a brick wall, so Jimmy has Chris pull it out, joking that if you're going to rob a bank, you might as well do it this way. Inside, the assassin and Nolan only notice that the vault is moving. Nolan complains, "You didn't tell me about this part!" Jimmy says he can't believe it worked.
The vault is driven about 10 miles down the road with one hour left on the clock. Jimmy lists the day so far: he crushed the assassin's car, outwitted him at the hotel, escaped by Lamborghini and helicopter, and locked him in a safe with Nolan.
The Carnival and the Fake Broken Ankle
With less than 40 minutes left, Jimmy says keeping the assassin locked in a vault "kind of feels like we're cheating," so he moves to a final location. His team has built a carnival. Jimmy calls it "a very expensive and elaborate distraction" for his real plan. He will fake a serious injury and see whether the assassin still stabs him, giving the assassin one last chance, face to face.
To sell the act, the production is ended, the camera crew leaves, and only hidden spy cameras keep recording from a distance. Jimmy admits he has never broken a bone. With 20 minutes left, Tareq lets the assassin out of the safe and says Jimmy fell off a ladder and hurt his foot.
The assassin doesn't believe it. Looking around, he says, "Got all this for a broken ankle, huh? … I don't know about that." Then he stabs Jimmy with the rubber knife. He also explains what gave it away: you don't splint a broken ankle. Jimmy concedes the point, says he "should have broke my leg," and admits he had only hoped to fool the assassin for a little while.
The Outcome
The assassin wins the $100,000. Taking the money, he says it means a lot to him and his family. Jimmy replies that he's now glad he got stabbed, then remarks that it was a weird sentence to say.
Behind me is an assassin. And if he stabs me with this rubber knife by the end of the day, he wins a hundred grand. Here's your rubber knife. Good luck. Get me outta this rope.
What did you do? I can't get out. Later, boys. I left you a car in the woods.
What? Are you out?
This video is gonna be the craziest video you've ever seen! We have a real tank, an entire carnival, I'm blowing up a bank, and so much more, all to escape this real assassin. You wanna watch this video!
Oh my God, he's just driving away. We gotta hurry, guys. I'm gonna stab that guy. There's a car somewhere in the woods we have to find.
Guys, there's the car. Are you sure this one's for you? Pretty sure. Go, go, go.
And now we're arriving at the train station! There are dozens of train cars in this massive warehouse. It's going to take him forever to find me. Inside this "Cars" backpack is not only a hundred grand but also a tracker giving him my real-time location.
Okay, I found Jimmy. He seems to be stopped at a warehouse just up ahead. What's it look like around the warehouse? It seems like where all the trains go. Yeah. How did Jimmy find an assassin for this anyway? I found Jimmy, he didn't find me.
Giving the assassin a car made him think this would be easy, but it's time for a reality check. Chris, are you in the tank? Yeah, where did we get a tank from? Don't worry about that. When the assassin and the boys are in the warehouse, destroy their car. Roger that, over and out.
I've seen the other guys that chased Jimmy. He's gonna be ready there for us, so he can point and laugh and call us nerds. Well, that ain't gonna happen this time. All right, guys, we're pulling in. And we're gonna get right up next to the building. And then we're gonna slip in that open door over there.
He's so intent! There's a camera, there's a camera right there. Right there.
Let's see if he's back that way. Let's go.
Chris, they're inside the warehouse. You know what to do. Roger that! Bravo Six going dark. Destroy the car!
Oh my God. Chris, how's the flattening going?
What is going on? How did I not see this? Is this a door? We gotta go, we gotta go. Come on. Hey, something's definitely in there.
Right here is our getaway car. Go quicker, go. Go, go, go. Go, go, go, go!
Holy crap! Get us outta here! Go, go, go! Whoo! Was that epic? That was insane!
It's gone. We gotta get to the car. Let's go. All right. Oh no, are you kidding me? What? They ran over our car with a tank. I ran over your car with a tank.
Jimmy. What up? Our car is literally a pancake right now. Yeah, you can Uber to the next location or you can buy a new car. Up to you.
Is that our Uber? Hello. We're right behind him, step on it. All right, guys, he's on the highway traveling east. Oh, he's just running down that highway. He's going. Where are we? We are far. Oh.
Now we're at the hotel where we rented every room. These are our room keys. I'll leave 'em there for the assassin, I don't need 'em. And while we're waiting for the assassin on the 20th floor, we have over a hundred cameras monitoring every inch of the hotel.
I've seen his tracker stop here. This place is huge. Probably a million rooms in it. He's not gonna get away from us again. All right, fellas. Tracker's telling me he's inside.
Oh, what is this? This doesn't look right. We got room keys. 10th floor.
Is there a doofus on the line? You're not very stealthy. Since you just walkied me, that means you're within walkie-talkie range, which means you're now in the hotel, which I didn't know you were in. That's my bad. Oh.
I'm hiding in one of over 200 rooms in this hotel. I also put a little something in every room. Good luck! I knew it.
I just want to get up there quick and just get to him as fast as possible.
Let's do this. Here we go. Do you hear this? What is going on in here? Nope, this it ain't, guys. He's not in here, let's go.
Oh, they are on the 10th floor, oh my gosh. Mr. Assassin, look up at that camera. How about this one, Jimmy? We still have a hundred other cameras.
Jimmy. Coming in, Jimmy. What's up, guys? No way! Jimmy!
18. What floor are they on? 18. 18. 18? Oh, wait a minute. I might need to get ready.
Mr. Assassin, here's the deal. You're running out of time and we both know you're never gonna find me without a hint. I'll give you the exact location to me in this hotel if you tie up Chandler and Karl in room 1802. Yeah, I'll tie these guys up. Don't talk to me until you do that. I hope that didn't break, 'cause I need to talk to him.
Oh, my legs. Oh, man. Hey, Karl. Yes, Jimmy. I want you to know it's not personal. It feels pretty personal.
All right, let's go. I'm so tired, I'm not gonna fight it. I know we didn't help you much. And we let Jimmy get away. I hope you get him. Stab him good.
Little do they know I'm literally two floors above them right now.
Yeah, it's nothing personal, guys. All right, Jimmy. These guys ain't going nowhere. Mr. Assassin, here's your hint. I'm on the 20th floor. Go! Do it for your daughter!
And now that he knows where I'm at, I'm gonna try to do an ad read without getting stabbed. TurboTax is the number one way to get the biggest tax refund possible. On average last year, people get over $3,000 on their tax refunds. That's a lot of money. Can you gimme one minute to finish this ad read?
He didn't respond. I should probably start moving. TurboTax will let you do your taxes wherever you are, even if you're running from an assassin. Nope.
Last year, TurboTax helped people get over $113 billion in tax refund. Oh God, that means he's up here. All right.
All right. Come on.
And with TurboTax you can be confident your taxes are done right.
And you're probably wondering, if there was an elevator, why didn't he take it all the way to the top? 'Cause I hid it with a secret wall.
That hurts. A little too good of a secret wall.
Whoo! Don't wait until April 18th to do your taxes. Click the link in the description and get your tax refund right now with TurboTax. Doing an ad read while running from an assassin is very stressful.
Mr. Assassin. Jimmy. Listen to this real quick.
That's my door to my getaway vehicle. Later, nerd.
He just ninja flipped outta here again.
This time we're making our exit in a Lamborghini. Tareq, what up?
Wait, what are you doing? An assassin's currently running down 20 flights of stairs to stab me. Oh, well we gotta go. You're the driver. All right, hold on, I need to learn how to drive this thing!
I don't even know how we got down there so quick. Part of me wishes I still have the boys right now.
Is this your first time driving a Lamborghini? Yes. Oh, my God, whoa!
We gotta get back on our ride.
We're going to the helicopter. It's gonna fly us to a bank and then we're gonna blow up the bank.
Whoo! See you at the next location!
Hey, stop, stop, stop.
Just missed him, let's go! Let's go, hundred grand! His tracker's moving so fast. Can't believe he's in a helicopter right now.
The helicopter put me way ahead and now the assassin has less than three hours to win a hundred grand.
That's the bank? For now it is. Oh, God.
Let's see if he can stab me while I'm hiding in this double reinforced steel bank vault.
Tracker stopped, luckily he didn't get too far. Now I have an opportunity to stab him before midnight and get my money. How's it going?
We're here. I'm in the bank vault, but I don't think you have enough time to break in. Good luck! Bank vault. Let's do it.
Bank's open late.
He just kicked out a door. I think he's literally lost his mind.
Oh, my God. You in there, Jimmy?
He fell for it. He fell for it. It worked. It worked. Mr. Assassin, there's two bank vaults and you picked the wrong one!
Yeah, I saw one vault. Figured that'd be the one.
Above the bank vault you're in is another bank vault. But you didn't pick that one. You picked the easy one and now you're trapped with Nolan. Is that a sledgehammer?
This thing's double steel reinforced, it doesn't matter.
I really did fall for it pretty bad at this one, didn't I? Yeah.
Chris, see that hook right there? I need to attach it there. I'm gonna attach this one here. And we'll get you outta here in just a second. Get comfortable, we might move a little bit, okay?
You say get comfortable. Hold on to something.
There's some activity going on right outside of the door here.
One, I might actually win the challenge. The only thing standing between that safe and the road is this brick wall.
Are you telling me to rob a bank? Yeah, actually I am. And!
Why is this thing moving! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What is happening? You didn't tell me about this part!
I can't believe that worked! If you're gonna rob a bank, why don't you just do it like this? Nolan, has the assassin attacked at you yet?
I'm talking to you, Jimmy, so no. Darn. Now we're gonna drive you 10 miles down the road.
I can't take this. Yeah, we're not going on the highway, are we?
You have one hour left to win this hundred thousand dollars. I'll make your transportation quick. All right, get 'em outta here.
Did we get lifted up into the air at some point?
Oh, and as promised.
Literally, everything has gone according to my plan. I crushed his car, bamboozled him at the hotel, escaped in a Lamborghini and a helicopter, and now he's trapped in a safe with Nolan. There is less than 40 minutes left in the challenge. So we're heading to one last location, because keeping him in a bank vault kind of feels like we're cheating.
For our last location, we built a carnival! But all of this is a very expensive and elaborate distraction while I'm gonna try to fake a serious injury and see if he still stabs me. I'm gonna give him one last chance. This time, face to face.
The truck is now here with the safe. I'm gonna go over there and break my ankle. All right. I've never broken a bone before.
We ended the production and had the camera crew leave. The only cameras that kept rolling were hidden spy cameras from far away. There's 20 minutes left in the challenge. Let's see if he still stabs me even though I'm hurt.
I think you should let him out, Tareq. Guy, get ready. Get ready.
Guys, Jimmy got hurt. Really? Literally, get out. Jimmy got hurt. No, it just hurts.
What happened? My foot. He fell off the ladder. Right, so where— Finished wrapping up— Got all this for a broken ankle, huh? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
So, was it that obvious? Whoo! Let's go! You don't splint a broken ankle.
That is true. I should have broke my leg. I was hoping I'd get away with it for at least a little bit. Here's your a hundred thousand dollars.
This means a lot to me and my family. Thank you. Now I'm glad you stabbed me. That was a weird sentence.
Thank you guys for watching! Subscribe or I'm gonna hunt you down.
