- (React) The object of the game is to get all of the disks
from the middle pole to either the left
or the right pole. - (screaming)
- I'm sorry, you are in the same position as you started.
- It has to be over here, yeah. - (Liam) This is cooler
than any room on any episode of Cribs I've ever seen.
Ben Franklin glasses? Oh my god.
- (Billie) I want that relic. - Hey, guys.
We're the cast of National Treasure: Edge of History.
- And today, we're gonna try not to fail whilst completing
a few puzzles. - (React) There are seven
puzzle rounds. After every round,
you will be given a part of a riddle, which will help you
solve the final puzzle. There is a twist.
- Okay. - (React) You are also competing
against each other. - (groans)
- Oh! - I feel good about that.
- All right. Cool. - (laughs)
You know, I'm just gonna lead with a lot of confidence.
- (React) Puzzle number one: We take you to Rievaulx Abbey
in York, England, where you come across the cryptex
and this wonderful riddle. - Whoa.
- What?! - Whoa!
- (Jordan) It's like Da Vinci Code. - (React) You have the cryptex.
- Okay. - (React) You can turn over the page
to see a riddle. You will have 60 seconds
to open the cryptex. (music stops)
- Dawg. 60 seconds?! (whistle blows)
- "Your journey begins here. 100 years and still going strong,
a place where characters sing, act, and dance.
Trying to take the streaming world head on, they gave your treasure show
a chance." - Oh, snap.
I think I got it. - (React) Oh, you're not gonna
tell them? - No. God. (laughs)
All right. How do I know-- - (React) 30 seconds--
- What?! - (React) Yeah!
- What?! - What happened?!
- He already opened it! - (Jake) I mean--
- We did say he was the--
(laughs) Really good. - (React) 15 seconds left, Lyndon.
Give her some clues. - Our employer.
- (all laugh) - Oh, okay!
Oh, got it! There it is. - (Jordan) Way cool to open.
- (Jake) Yeah. - (Jake and Jordan) Yay!
- I said in the beginning, Jake was gonna be good
at the riddles. - Yeah, no, no, no,
I'm a humble winner. - The last thing really gave me
the answer. "They gave you your treasure show
a chance." They gave your treasure show a chance.
Disney. - Dude, this is wicked.
- I mean, this is just rad. Did you get these on Amazon?
- You do get your prize. - Ohh!
- (React) Okay, are we ready for the next round?
- (all) Yes! - (React) We're now moving
to the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, where you come across
this key puzzle. (whistle blows)
Would you guys say the show helped you become
better puzzle solvers? - Hmm...
- Oh, no. - (guys laugh)
- Oh my go-- wait, wait. - Is this supposed to--
- Got it. - (React) Oh!
- Ahhh! - (React) Three, two, one.
That's time, guys. That is time! - How'd you do it?
- Yes! - How'd you do it?
- There's a divot. - We love puzzles!
- How far did you guys get? - They're still together.
- They're still together, so... - They're still locked in, so...
- I think it's, you know, either you did or you didn't.
- That was rough. That was rough. - That was hard.
- I like an underdog story, though. I think the next one's mine.
- That's a bold strategy. - (React) So, the only person
who wins the clue for this one is, of course, Jordan.
- (Jake) What?! - (Lyndon) The stain.
- In iron pen, the stain. Stain something.
And upon staining something, you have to sustain
the pain of the stain. - Where's the buzzer?
- (laughs) - Ugh! Were we--
- Time out, Jake! - On set, we had-- Lisette invented
the shoulder squeeze. - (React) What's the shoulder squeeze?
- Shoulder squeeze is whenever you say a joke so bad,
you just lightly squeeze the person's shoulder.
- (React) Now, we're moving on to the next place in the world.
Of course, we take you from Egypt to the Lacandon Jungle
in Mexico, where, by the river, you find this puzzle box.
You will have two minutes to try and figure this out.
- Nice! (whistle blows)
- I don't get it. I don't get it.
- Something moved. - (laughs)
- Now, is this harder, or was your audition
harder to get to-- - (laughs)
- My audition was done at my house.
My reader was my buddy Connor, who's such a good friend
of mine, and he's read with me for so many tapes.
Shoutout to Connor Stoops. He's the coolest dude in the world.
- I got something. - You got some-- yes, I know.
I'm pushing! - (React) That's it.
- Is that it? - (React) Yeah, Jordan's got it.
- Jordan Rodrigues! - Yeaaaah!
(grunts) - (Lyndon) I think mine's broken.
- You gotta-- it was the middle one, I think.
Yeah, there you go. - It's going, but it's not going.
- (React) Last 15 seconds. - Wait, this comes apart.
- That's it! That's it! - (React) Yup, you've got it.
Jake, you've got it as well. - You got it.
- Oh, it's done? - (React) Five, four, three--
- I'll be outside. - (all laugh)
- The key, 55. - In iron pen, the stain,
the key, 55. - (React) We take you to Japan,
the Inuyama Castle, where these wonderful hand puzzles
were created, known as the Hanayama puzzles,
which every kid is able to solve, of course.
Why are you shaking your head? - You said kid.
- So, when I don't get it, I'm gonna feel really dumb.
- (React) It says zero to three year-- no, I'm joking.
- I'm gonna set the bar real low for myself
and say I'm not gonna get it. (whistle blows)
- Oh, no.
- I really felt good for a second. I was like (mumbles).
- (Jake) What?! - Did you just --
did you brute that? - (Jordan) He bruted it.
- (React) So, Jake, whilst we wait, what was your favorite
of the show, filming? - Yeah, probably my favorite moment--
you guys got this. So, I'd say probably
my favorite moment is just hanging out with the cast, really.
Helping them when they were struggling with things.
- (laughs) - No, honestly, my fa--
(laughs) - (React) You still got
one minute, 25, Lyndon. - My favorite moment really was
all the time spending with the cast.
I mean, we were together in Baton Rouge from the get-go,
like, a month before even shooting.
And then, on set, just building the chemistry
and hanging out with everybody was really
the coolest thing. - When everyone sees
the fantastic episode 9, a way that myself
and my partner in crime, the coroner, figure out something
about Sadusky's death was one of the coolest things
I had ever seen on paper`. - I put it back together.
- (laughs) - Did you hear him?!
He just said he put it back together. And then he's gonna take it apart.
- (React) Two, one. That is time, unfortunately.
I'm sorry, Lyndon. You came into this episode
with so much confidence. - (laughs) I know!
You know, I'm just gonna lead with a lot of confidence.
- Affected. - Affected.
Did you actually know you were doing it,
or did it pop out? - No, I think my brain
was working so quickly, as it does sometimes,
and I-- - I regret-- where's the buzzer?
- (guys laugh) - (React) Bring back the buzzer!
- I really regret asking him that. (laughs)
- (React) We are now moving on to the banks of Varanasi,
a city in India, for the faith, history, and culture
where you are presented the Tower of Hanoi.
This is more of a mathematical brain type of puzzle.
- Oh, I'm screwed. - (React) The object of the game
is to get all of the disks from the middle pole
to either the left or the right pole.
You can only move one disk at a time.
A bigger disk cannot be placed on a smaller disk.
(whistle blows)
- (React) So, what's the hardest acting puzzle you guys may have
come across in your life? The biggest challenge in acting.
- I think the biggest challenge for me was shifting my mindset
from the idea of acting, like I'm only doing my job
when I'm on a set. Learning how to treat
the audition process as the job was a big--
it was a good mind shift for me. - Whaaat?!
- (laughs) Take his away. - You can go there. Ah! Okay.
You can go there. - (screaming)
(laughs) - I'm sorry, you are in the same
position as you started. I'm sorry. That doesn't require
a freak out moment. - (Jake) That pains my heart.
- (React) And time. - Oh! What? No! No!
- (Jake) Yeah. - This is a humbling day for me.
- (Jake) Yeah. - (laughs)
- (React) We now move to the ancient ruins of Athens, Greece,
one of the oldest sites for mechanical puzzles,
also hand-based puzzles. And you will have two minutes
to try and take out the piece that is stuck in the middle
of the cage. (whistle blows)
- (Jordan) Ooh, ooh, ah, ah. - Oh, Jordan, wait.
Tell your further/farther story. - Oh, no. Yeah, that was pretty hard.
So, I'm Australian. And... - What?!
- Yeah. - And this wasn't taken
into consideration when you were written that scene.
- Yeah, there's a scene where I have to say further
versus farther. Further vs. farther. - it's a scene with the two of us.
- And apparently, I was saying it wrong.
And we basically had to ADR the entire scene.
- Got it. (ding)
- What?! - Nice!
- Oh my god. How'd you do that?! - (React) Just in time as well.
- (Jake) Yeah. - (Lyndon) Just in time!
- The legend writ. - Writ.
- (React) The final puzzle brings you to, of course,
the one and only Moscow, Russia. So, all those wooden pieces
need to fit in their-- oh, okay. - Oh, sorry.
- (Jake laughs) - (React) Lyndon's like,
"I'm gonna win this one!" - With how it's been going,
I should get a head start. (laughs) - (React) Because you said that,
I will give you a head start. - (React) So, Lyndon, begin.
Everyone else, begin. - Oh.
- That was it! Gee, thanks, bud.
- (Jake) Did you ever play Tetris? - (Jordan) Never. What's that?
- (Lyndon snorts) - (Jake snickers)
- (Lyndon) Are you being facetious about Tetris?
- Is that an American thing? Tetris? - Dude.
- Is it American? I think it's a thing of the world.
- Done. - You are so annoying.
- (React laughs)
- A tip is I put the big pieces in first and then fill it in
with the small pieces. - Oh, that's a nice tip. Thank you.
- (React) And time. - Cool.
- (chuckles) Well, can't have 'em all, you know?
- Sometimes, you can only have one. - (Jake) You feel like a big boy, huh?
- I do. - Yeah. Big ol' winner over here.
- (all laugh) - You're gonna be high on this all day.
- (React) You have roughly two minutes to try and come up
with what you think the riddle is and what the answer is.
And because I'm feeling very gracious, we're gonna give you
the final piece as well. - Ah.
- Oh, okay. That's sweet.
- In silence undetected. - In silence undetected.
- (Jake) Yeah. - (React) We will bring you to DC
to solve this puzzle. - (Jake) Mr...
- What's writ? Writ? The... - Like an old school
of saying wrote, right? - (React) Did you guys have to
watch National Treasure when you were cast on the show
before becoming a member? - I did 'cause I hadn't seen
the movies, so I had to watch them. - I grew up watching them.
- I actually really liked the second one
because Helen Mirren and Jon Voight... - (Jordan) Yeah, second one was good.
- ...were like the comedy tag team I never knew I needed.
I loved watching their bickering when they're inside Mt. Rushmore.
It was cracking me up. Who's Mr. Matlock?
- Matlack. - (Jake and Lyndon) Matlack.
- Do you know Matlack? - (Lyndon) Is it important to know
who Mr. Matlack is? - (React) It is.
- Oh. - (React) Would you like a clue?
- Sure. - Yeah.
- (React) Put on your headphones. - (Ben) The legend writ,
the stain affected the key in silence undetected.
- (React) Do you recognize this? - Yes.
- (React) What is this? - (Ben) 55 in iron pen.
- Like one of the first scenes in the first movie.
- (React) Correct. ♪ (whimsical music) ♪
Let's see if Nicolas Cage's thoughts will help you
get to the answer. - (Ben) It was resolved.
It was resolved. Mr. Matlack can't offend.
Timothy Matlack was the official scribe of the Continental Congress.
Calligrapher, not writer. And to make sure he could not
offend the map, it was put on the back
of a resolution that he transcribed, a resolution that 55--
- Oh, wait. This is the Declaration of Independence.
- Yes, the Declaration of Independence. - (React) Correct! That is the answer!
- Okay, I was sitting here wondering. i was like, "If I remember
this scene, is that where we're supposed to be
going with it?" - This is the segue
to the Declaration of Independence. - Yes.
- And then Sean Bean's like, (as Sean Bean) "What does that mean"
or something. That's a terrible accent.
- That was a really-- a really amazing Sean Bean.
- And then they're like-- - And then he tries to blow him up
inside the ship. - Gunpowder, right.
And then he's like, "It's gunpowder."
- Yeah. - And then they get out of there.
I'm not great on accents, guys. - I didn't really know
what we were trying to figure out, to be honest.
- Hey, you're-- that's fair. You're Australian, all right?
It's the American history we should've been brushed up on.
- I've just got no excuses. Do we have any more games?
- (React) Well, we have no more games, but we have, of course, the scores
and the grading. - Oh!
- (React) To grade you indiv-- - We can skip that part.
- (laughs) - No, I think we should do that.
- (React) Individual scores and explorers.
- Okay. - You ruined the curve, though.
- (React) With the most puzzles solved, five out of seven...
- It was... - (React) ...we have, of course,
Jordan! - Oh! Me?
- Did you not know you won? - I had no idea.
- Good job, buddy. - (React) An A+ explorer.
- Yeah, buddy. - (React) Congratulations.
- A+. - A+ explorer.
- (React) And of course, not far behind, an A explorer is,
of course, Jake. - I was never an overachiever.
Wooo! Yeah! (laughs) - Yeah.
- (React) And unfortunately... - (laughs)
- What was the grading on this one? - (laughs)
- (React) It was originally F, but I can't do that to her,
so we're C class. - C class.
- (React) C-graded explorer, we have, of course, Lyndon.
How are we feeling, Lyndon?
- Yay. (golf claps) - Woo! To be fair, you're FBI.
We're the treasure hunters. - You know what? Thank you!
That's true. That's true. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You show up and get business done, and we're just kind of like, "Oh, man,
55 in iron Ben," you know? - You're a fish out of water here.
- Yeah. - And then we go "55"...
- (both) "In iron pen." And then, that's when Jess
is like, "Guys, I figured it out." Liam's like, "Should I play?"
And they're like, "Not right now." And that's...
- And to be fair, Agent Ross is always
one step behind them. - Yes.
Anybody that tunes in now... I feel like I'm so jealous
of anyone that tunes in now because you can literally binge it
all the way through. And I've always loved the show
as a full consumption sort of show, like,
to binge all the way through 'cause we have so many cliffhangers,
and the story's always moving. The adventure will be
full steam at this point, you know? - Mm-hmm.
- Especially fans of the original films,
I think it's kind of like these last few bits
are definitely a love letter to that same energy of the old films.
- And if you are binging it, it'll be really fun
for people to immediately be able to connect these clues
episode to episode. - Oh, yeah!
- I mean, imagine if you could just watch all of it
in one run, and by the time you get to the finale,
you're gonna be so ahead of the curve as far
as figuring out what's going on. - Yeah.
Thanks for watching this episode. - Be sure to check out
National Treasure: Edge of History. - Now streaming on Disney+.
- See ya! - See ya.
