Executive SummaryAI
Jimmy spent months rigging an entire city with hundreds of cameras, booby traps and secret rooms so he and four friends could survive a 12-hour manhunt by 100 real police, who earn $100,000 for every arrest.
Darius is arrested after only 10 minutes while the cops form a line and sweep the city, so the crew slips behind the line through the sewer tunnels underneath it.
Jimmy's backup plan uses explosions as a diversion and sends over 50 doppelgangers in black backpacks into a movie theater, where the cops chasing them are locked in for hours while he counts toward 100,000.
The remaining three walk an underground tunnel into the jail at police headquarters to break Tariq and Darius out, distracting officers with Krispy Kreme donuts, but a cop spots them and they escape behind a smoke grenade.
With an hour and a half left the police catch all five and win the half a million dollars, and Jimmy closes by promoting The Most Dangerous Games, the book he co-authored with James Patterson.
