All language subtitles for Ultimate.Beastmaster.S01E04.720p.WEBRip.x264-STRiFE

The Beast does not respect
you or any country that you are from.

He fell into the Beast blood.

The Beast punishes every mistake.

It is unforgiving.

Tonight, one competitor
may have what it takes

to show the Beast who's boss.

Japan in the house.

A legend
from Sasuke, raised in Tokyo.

Yuji Urushihara!

The most successful
Sasuke competitor of all time.

It's Japan's version
of American Ninja Warrior.

He is a fan favorite.

A great name in Japan.

People really love him, support him...

Yuji is one of the great favorites
of this competition.

And what does
he do for a living?

He's a shoe salesman.

I'm here hoping to make the most

of my training for Sasuke.

I train every day.

I've dreamed...

of this moment.

We are excited to see
what Japan's Yuji Urushihara can do,

as we begin tonight's action.

He is the most successful
Sasuke competitor of all time.

Let's see if he can become
a Beastmaster legend.

He's one
of the older competitors.

He's 37 years old, but age
seems to be a non-factor.

Whoo!

Blazes up the ramp
and now across for those points.

He's already on to Brain Matter.

He's so focused getting across

that he passed right by
the Point Thruster.

That would've earned him ten extra points.

He's clearly going for speed
here as he comes up on Throat Erosion.

He's only 5'3", so this may be tough.

Whoa! He gets some height right there!

He's got it!

That's a legend for you!

He makes his way up
to Faceplant.

Now, if this wasn't intimidating enough,

we replaced the chain
the competitors leap to with a rope.

It makes this obstacle
so much more difficult,

because you need to have
a much stronger grip strength.

- Oh! Oh, my goodness!
- He's got it...

- Oh, wait!
- Oh, yeah...

He's got it! Japan in the house.

He's on the platform!

Urushihara, he's rocking it!

Mild-mannered shoe salesman
by day,

Beastmaster by night!

He's looking over
at that Point Thruster.

It's a ten-foot jump to get there.

I say risk it, go for the points.

His fellow compadres are cheering him on.

He's going for it!

Something tells me
he knows what he's doing, though.

It's vital to scout each area,

to make every move count, you could say.

He's doing
very, very well right now.

We are watching a master at work.

This guy is the Michael Jordan
of obstacle courses.

Incredible as he makes his way
over to the Mag Wall.

He has got 60 points.

Oh, look at that.
He leaps right in.

He seems to have a strategy.

This is a man who's done obstacle courses.

I want to see what his strategy
is going to be!

Look at his ability
to hold on!

Amazing!

Excellent grip.

- Oh, my...!
- And he makes it!

He makes it! He does it!

Is this possible?

Absolutely amazing performance!

The legend in Japan.

- That's a real Sasuke legend!
- Sasuke legend!

Yuji sets the bar high.

Who will challenge this champion?

Let's find out on Ultimate Beastmaster.

Sorry, folks, we don't have the Beauty.

All we have is the Beast.

Terry, you shouldn't be
so hard on yourself.

Oh, wow, I just got that.

- Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
- Okay, that's...

- It's a bad joke.
- That hurt.

That's why you're the comedian.

But the point is Terry Crews
is the Beauty and the Beast.

Hi, everyone. I am Charissa Thompson,
and we are about to see 12 competitors

summon up all the courage they can muster

and enter the jaws of the Beast.

All with the hope of being

the one competitor
that makes it to the end.

And speaking of competitors,

they're still celebrating
Yuji's amazing run.

It's times like these
that I'm proud to be Japanese.

An excellent show!

Well, let's not hand tonight's
$10,000 prize over to Yuji so quickly,

'cause we've got some Americans who think
they can give him a run for his money.

From Los Angeles,

is former professional soccer player
Cortni Joyner.

Cortni's years on the soccer field
gave her imposing leg strength and agility

that will be key
to powering her to victory.

You've gotta be certain kind of crazy

to play professional soccer
right out of college.

You're getting stiff-armed in the head
by girls that are 5'10" constantly.

That's what makes me
the kind of athlete that I am.

If you can lift heavier than me,
I can run faster than you,

and lift close enough to you to beat you
when it comes time.

I'm the best all-around athlete
that there is out there.

Joining Cortni
from San Diego, California,

is criminal defense attorney
Juan Bernardo.

Whether landing blows as a lawyer
or jujitsu expert,

Juan's fighting ability should take
him far in this competition.

I am the Ultimate Beastmaster
because I'm faster, stronger,

and better-looking than anyone else here.

As a jujitsu athlete, my strengths
would be endurance,

the ability to think on your feet,
to think under pressure,

to be calm under pressure.

Breaking people's arms and choking
people out, that's all I do.

All I do is win, win, win.

Juan Bernardo
and Cortni Joyner.

These two athletes are prepared
to kick and punch their way to the top

as they compete
for the title Ultimate Beastmaster.

Now, let's get back to Level 1,

where the competitors are hoping
to be one of eight

who will qualify to move on
in the competition.

Next up is
Marcel Stevanin from Brazil.

He's dedicating his performance tonight
to a very special person.

My sister was always like a mother to me.

She was diagnosed with cancer in 2010,

and passed away this year.

I came here representing my sister,
and I will fight to the end to win.

When I return to Brazil,
I'll be the Ultimate Beastmaster champion.

And our thoughts and prayers,
of course, to his family,

as he tries to honor his sister's memory.

Cool. We are cheering for you, brother.

Let's go, Marcel!

Passes right
by that Point Thruster.

A little shaky,
but he clears it.

He's on to Throat Erosion.

Let's go, Marcel!

Look at this,
30 points in 45 seconds!

Wow, he's like Pac-Man!
Look at him!

- He's got it. The wall comes down.
- Look at that.

At six feet tall,
that's a piece of cake for him.

He's one of the taller
Brazilian participants.

And he has a chance to get through
this damn course.

It's a very emotional time
for Marcel

as his sister passed away from cancer
while he was trying out for the show,

so he really, really wants
to make her proud.

My practice is inspired by her.
She had great discipline.

She lived in fear,
but she passed in peace.

- Just hold on. He's got it!
- Nice jump.

- He's got it!
- Nice jump.

- And he's up!
- He's over into the Energy Coil!

Marcel is not just
an incredible parkour athlete.

He's a professional
video game player, as well.

Because his training is in parkour,
and we talk about it all the time.

The Beast is pretty much like
a video game, right?

A professional video gamer...

He is a world champion
in the video game Streetfighter.

I know you, Mr. Video Game,
know all about that.

I love Streetfighter.

There it is.

Sixty points
in under three minutes.

On to the Mag Wall.

- Now, we saw Yuji...
- Can he use this technique?

conquer the Mag Wall.

It's Brazil versus Japan right now.

Marcel can beat Yuji's time
and take first place.

Being a pro gamer,
Marcel probably doesn't spend

as much time in the gym
as some of these other competitors.

And that begs the question,

does he have
the physical strength to hang on?

So far, he's
exhibited that he does.

Don't watch. Hide behind me.

He's almost there.

- Oh, there it is.
- Oh, boy.

- He's gotta find a way.
- There we go.

Oh, look at that!

So close! So close!

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay...

Well done.

It's game over for Marcel,

but he's only ten points behind Yuji,
so he still has a chance to level up.

We are on our way
to qualifying the top eight competitors

who will move on to Level 2,

and these next four athletes
think they have what it takes.

First up, Japan's Yuki Fukumoto.

I'm a pop idol and personality.

I have these feathers because
feathers spread out like this, right?

I'm prepared to fly to the top

and become Beastmaster.

Trying to follow
in Yuji's footsteps,

this professional dancer
tried to spread his wings.

I love the flair.

But, after getting past
Jaw Breaker, his feathers were plucked.

- Oh, no! What happened?
- No!

Next up was soccer player
Cortni Joyner.

She struggled to claw her way
past Mother Tongue...

- Keep it going, Cortni!
- Keep those feet moving!

...but choked at Throat Erosion.

Oh, so close!

You think it's leg drive.
It's not.

It's... there's a lot of strategy,
and you can't stop.

Next up,
Mexico's Yuriko Santander.

Yuriko showed that even at 5'2",
she could persevere.

But her effort to get to the Energy Coils
came up short.

Oh, Yuriko!

To make a straight jump...
it's what I couldn't do.

And, finally, Jongsuk Kim
from South Korea

showed us how quickly
he could move through Level 1.

That is amazing!

But with one slip on the rope,
this personal trainer got his own lesson.

It's harder
than it looks. Look at my hands.

Lucky for Yuji Urushihara,
he still sits comfortably in first place.

But there are still six competitors left
to run Level 1,

and they're all ready for battle,

one of whom is Phillip Meyer from Germany.

This guy knows a thing or two
about battles,

out in the field and on the dance floor.

I have two different jobs.

In one, I have a lot of freedom
to express myself.

In the other...

people tell me what to do.

I am a soldier
with the German Armed Forces

and a dancer.

This combination gives me
the power to win this.

Phillip has moved quickly
through the first few obstacles,

and is now approaching
the dreaded Faceplant.

This is where most contestants
have struggled throughout the competition.

Yeah, that rope tore up the hands
of the last two competitors,

so let's see if this guy's got
the grip to hold on.

There. That was a nice jump!

- He's got it!
- Here we go.

He's on the rope
and over into the Energy Coils,

but he's gotta get the momentum
to bring him over to the Coils.

There, he's got it.

At six feet, Phillip is one
of the taller competitors this evening.

His long reach should help him
with jumping and climbing.

This guy might feel confident
enough to go for those extra points.

- Let's see.
- Is he gonna go for that Point Thruster?

Oh, oh, oh!

- Yeah!
- He went for the Point Thruster!

And now Phillip Meyer
goes for the bonus points!

You know what, like a breakdancer,

he's gotta go
for that one extra little boogie.

That Point Thruster just gave
him a better shot at catching Yuji.

He just needs to finish Level 1.

Easier said than done.

Oh!

He hit it with his face!

Phillip Meyer's run
puts him in third place

with five competitors left to go. Not bad.

My plan worked out.

I wanted the 10 extra points
of the booster.

The wall would have been too hard.

I reached my goal.

Wow!

The Beast has devoured
a number of competitors so far,

but he still looks hungry for more.

Let's hope these next three competitors
aren't easy prey.

First up, Jonas Kegelmann,
a parkour instructor from Germany.

When I was 17,

I moved to Berlin with friends
for all the opportunities there.

We didn't have much money.
These experiences shaped me.

They will be useful here at Beastmaster.

The Beast put
Jonas's parkour skills to the test,

as the youngest competitor of the night
made his way to the Energy Coil.

He hit the Point Thruster!

But, like fellow
countryman Phillip Meyer,

his quest to earn the bonus points

sent him into the blood of the Beast.

Next up was Mexico's
Jalil al Akabani.

Jalil mauled the first half of Level 1,

showing everyone how he earned
the nickname "The Bear."

- Grab that rope, good!
- Bear, don't let it go!

- He did really well.
- Come on!

He made the ten-foot leaps
on the coils with ease,

and was one of only four competitors
who made it to the Mag Wall,

but the Beast sent this bear
back into hibernation.

And finally was
Brazil's Eduardo Oliveira,

a PE teacher
who's literally trained in everything.

My training
is perfect for this course.

From rock climbing, to calisthenics,
to gymnastics, to jujitsu...

This versatility in my training

has prepared me for any challenge.

This jack-of-all-trades
dominated the Beast at the start...

He's at home in the belly of the
Beast.

but the Beast fought back.

He's got to climb this rope!

He's not holding on!

- No!
- No, man!

Yeah, that rope is no joke.

Brazil's Eduardo Oliveira
placed in seventh,

Mexico's Jalil al Akabani placed in fifth,

and Germany's Jonas Kegelmann

crushed it and placed in second.

Unfortunately, that eliminates
Japan's Yuki Fukumoto

and the U.S.'s Cortni Joyner.

Mexico's Yuriko Santander is
on the bubble now.

Up next is South Korea's Taeho Kwon.

If he scores more than 40 points
during his run, then Yuriko is out.

It's not going to be that hard

once I get the hang of it.

Taeho Kwon is standing by.

He's so handsome!

- Way to go, Taeho!
- Yeah!

Our hosts are smitten
with this guy, and understandably so.

This dude is a fitness model,
so you know he's in good shape,

and he wants to show the world
how good Asian athletes are.

Excuses set my limit.
That's what I think.

Beastmaster must have it all.

I have my pride.

I should be able to do this.

Returning to the action,
Taeho Kwon now has 40 points

and is tied
with Mexico's Yuriko Santander.

But since his time is slower,
he'll have to complete Faceplant

and get ten more points
to move on to Level 2.

All Taeho Kwon needs to do
to move on to Level 2

is grab that rope
and get on that Energy Coil.

The technique is there!
The elevation is there!

He's got the momentum to swing himself
over into the Energy Coil, and he does it!

And that means Yuriko
is out of the competition.

Taeho Kwon is moving on to Level 2.

But that's not keeping
him from finishing this run.

Incredible! Just incredible!

Passes on that Point Thruster.

That's Phillip Meyer from Germany
watching intently.

Even though he secured
a spot in Level 2,

points are cumulative,
so it would've been smart to go for it.

There he goes.

Looks like he's gonna make his way
over to the Mag Wall.

No Point Thruster, but I have
a good feeling about him on the Mag Wall.

He's making good time.

- He looks like he has strategy.
- Oh, boy.

And he may be
the only competitor tonight

besides Yuji who can finish this level.

Can he do it?

Just has to make it.

- This is where you have to hang.
- This makes me nervous.

What an excellent technique.

That was absolutely
a wonderful performance by Taeho Kwon!

With that amazing run,

South Korea's Taeho Kwon
is in fourth place.

Strength wasn't the problem.

I just couldn't figure out how.

And so it all comes down
to our last competitor in Level 1.

It's the USA's Juan Bernardo.

He needs to score 40 points
to eliminate Eduardo

and move on to Level 2.

Rejoining him, he's got
30 points as he gets to Faceplant.

He just needs to make this jump
to secure his spot in the next level.

It's a Brazilian. We are nervous.
We have to scream!

- Go, Edu!
- Go, Brazil!

That rope is gonna be the judge,
jury, and executioner tonight.

This is the last hope
for the U.S. to have someone

- in this competition.
- Juan Bernardo.

And he can't hold on!
He can't hold on!

Oh, man, the U.S. is out
of the competition in Level 1!

Brazil's Eduardo Oliveira
is moving on to Level 2.

I am sick. I'm sick to my stomach.

That's unbelievable.

The first episode where both Americans
are eliminated in the first phase.

Take that, USA!

In the top spot is Japan's
Yuji Urushihara.

Germany's Jonas Kegelmann,

Brazil's Marcel Stevanin,

and South Korea's Taeho Kwon.

In fifth place is Germany's Phillip Meyer,

followed by Mexico's Jalil al Akabani.

South Korea's Jongsuk Kim

and Brazil's Eduardo Oliveira,

an incredible group of athletes moving on,

so what do you say, Terry?
Let's get ready for Level 2.

Since we have no dog in the fight

because, unfortunately,
our two US competitors

were knocked out of Level 1,

are you going for South Korea,
Germany, Brazil?

I'm flying back over to South Korea.

Back on to South Korea!

No, you know, wait.
I'm staying in Germany.

I decided to stay in Germany.

Give me your passport, sir.

I am stamping "Germany."

That is who you are riding with.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

But right now, though,
it's our first competitor from Brazil,

Eduardo Oliveira, who overcame
such incredible odds to be here tonight.

I was born and raised in a slum
of Rio de Janeiro,

in a very dangerous neighborhood
with a lot of violence.

I was shot.

It took 11 months of rehabilitation
to recover movement in my arm.

My life continued
and I followed the right path.

Today I am ready for any challenge.

And there he goes. All right!

That tallest platform
is 27 feet high,

and the vertical distance
between the platforms

ranges anywhere
from four and a half feet to eight feet.

That's the attempt he'll be making
right now, is eight feet.

There he is.
He actually caught it at the right time.

I think he caught it at the right time.

You just have to get those legs over,

and once you get them over,
don't take them down!

Very well!

He had a problem, but he managed
to overcome it. Very nice, Edu!

He makes his way
to Spinal Descent.

Terry, this guy has done everything
in the fitness world you can think of:

martial arts, weightlifting,
gymnastics, capoeira.

He's gonna need
a bit of all those things

just to get through Level 2.
This course is a killer!

He's coming up
on that Point Thruster opportunity.

They're difficult and risky to get to,

but remember, they'll earn you
20 points in this level.

He passed it up,
and he's moving on to Stomach Churn.

He's got to make
a six-foot jump now.

Oh, there... Oh!

He holds on! He holds on!

A little bit more... There he goes.

His hair is probably not gonna hold on
through this whole thing.

I think it's gonna be hanging and loose
by the time this is over.

No! He takes it hard.

But that's what you have to do.

You have to commit to assure
you don't get thrown off.

And don't get dizzy.

Oh!

Nice, Edu!

- Twists his leg a little bit.
- Wow.

I'm hoping he's okay.
Looks like he's in pain.

He's okay. Okay.

He wants some encouragement
from the other competitors.

Give it all, bro!

And there you see
Japanese legend Yuji Urushihara

nervously looking on.

He's got to get through
the Digestive Track

and make the right move. There he goes.

No. Don't wait.

Another jump! He couldn't wait!

- He waited! The hesitation!
- Ohh!

Ah, damn it!

He got beat up
in Level 2, that's for sure.

He hesitated just too long.

Oh, his face!

Could not get over.

That is
a faceplant right there.

Next up,
it's Japan's Yuji Urushihara.

Hai!

Given what this man
has accomplished already,

I think he has the best chance

out of everybody here
to finish the entire Beast.

Yuji is skilled, but he's got
a lot of work cut out for him.

I love how calm he is.

Doesn't seem overwhelmed by anything.

I'm the type

that's cool and collected
during a match.

My heart pounds when it's coming up,

but I'm cool once it starts.

Look at this.
Look at the brilliant move!

Made an eight-foot leap look easy.

You know, when you talk about athletes,

you talk about this with musicians,
even actors: it's the zone.

There's a place that you're in
where you can do anything you want to do.

Yuji is there right now.

He is methodically working
his way down Spinal Descent.

And there's that Point Thruster.

You know he wants it.

- Here we go.
- Guys, you are watching a clinic!

He hits the Point Thruster.

- Oh, no way!
- Oh no, what happened?

It's all over for Yuji Urushihara.

He grabbed the wrong nerve...

Oh, wow.

And that is why Point Thrusters
are so risky.

Wow, that was shocking.

He just needs
to hope that his 110 points

is enough to move him on
to the next level.

You might say I got in over my head.

I was confident I could pull it off,

and that backfired.

It didn't work. I'm sorry.

Seeing Yuji's fall
just reminds us

that anything can happen
here on Ultimate Beastmaster.

It's anybody's game now.

That's good news
for our next competitor, Jongsuk Kim.

He just made it to Level 2

after scoring only 40 points in Level 1.

His hands are all bandaged up
from that rope on Faceplant.

We'll have to see if that affects
his performance here.

- And he slams into that second platform.
- Right?

I wonder how these guys
don't get the wind knocked out of them.

It's all about the timing.
If you try too early, you're missing out.

And he goes backwards!
He's back off the platform.

Misjudges where he's supposed to be.

Now, if he gets back up,
he's still in the game,

but if he hits the ground, he's out.

That's it! He's out!

What a shocker!

He didn't know where he was
on that platform,

and he stepped right off!

Severely disappointing
for Jongsuk Kim.

Up next is your boy, Terry,

Germany's breakdancing robot,
Phillip Meyer.

Absolutely!
Look at this guy.

Nothing like repping your country
with some break dancing.

You got moves?

- What?
- That's how I do it.

You got a lot of moves, Terry.

I'm the robot master.

This isn't "Robot Master,"
This is Beastmaster.

And Phillip Meyer is looking
every bit the part

as he makes his way down Spinal Descent.

This man is a soldier
back home in Germany,

and you can see that.
He's wearing his beret.

This is the problem you're going
to encounter here on Spinal Descent.

It's just getting caught up
in the energy that it takes to unwind.

Going for that Point Thruster.

He'd better be careful
because this is where we saw Yuji fail.

Not a problem!

- He reached the Point Thruster!
- He did it!

- You're too happy for Germany.
- It's okay. He reached the Point Thruster!

Phillip is the first competitor
of the night to snag that Point Thruster

as he makes his way to Stomach Churn.

This soldier knows where to go.

He wants to dance.

Why not? Why not?

You can see he is having fun.

Remembering
to have fun along the way.

He almost does a windmill!

- I like it!
- Good for him.

All right,
he's now in the Digestive Track.

- Winding and going all the way up!
- Oh, my goodness!

- Now a long jump.
- Yes!

Now this soldier gets going.

The breakdancing soldier
is outshining everyone tonight.

He's the first competitor to make it
to the Dreadmills.

Phillip Meyer!

- Wow!
- Great job by Phillip Meyer!

Now on to Chain Reaction.

Now, here's where it gets tough, Terry.

Phillip needs to swing himself
across these hanging chains,

and if he's smart,
he'll go over for that Point Thruster.

He definitely sees it.
I think he'll go for it.

I'm sure he's had to climb ropes
like this in his military training,

so this isn't completely foreign to him.

Yeah, look at that incredible
upper-body strength!

He's starting
to get caught up now.

I think he's losing some momentum.

There he is,
kind of using his legs,

but he slips off and into the blood!

- And he falls!
- He falls!

Phillip Meyer put together
a fantastic run.

He's now in first place
with a score of 180 points.

Once you're that high,

you might as well jump
at the Point Thruster and go for it.

It looks like he tried,
but his arms just gave out.

The beret brought me luck.
Thanks, comrades.

I will try to win!

Let's take a quick look now

at how Mexico's Jalil al Akabani

did in Level 2.

For my family, my pride.
That's why I'm here.

I'll do it for you. You're my engine.

Right? Come on.

Jalil started off poised
and confident...

There you go.

but that disappeared
on Spinal Ascent.

Come on, get that leg up!
You have to keep that leg up.

And the Beast swallowed him up.

Oh, no!

I'm so sorry, Jalil!

Our dear Mexican gave his all.

Next up, Marcel Stevanin,
a parkour instructor from Brazil.

We mentioned earlier

that Marcel has dedicated his performance
tonight to his late sister.

She passed away
during the selection process.

My sister always believed in me,

so it's only fair that I can
give this gift to her.

That is incredibly touching,

and we know that she's with him

as he shreds his way
through Spinal Descent.

Look at him go!

He's figuring this one out very quickly.

He's looking out
for that Point Thruster.

He's gonna have to stretch!

He's got it.

He looks focused. He's in control.

He is really showing off
those parkour skills

as he cruises through these obstacles.

- There he goes.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa...

He's flying through.

You know, I really don't want him to rush.

Wow, that is about as impressive of a run
on that obstacle as I've ever seen!

And adding
a little flair at the end.

That's what I expect
from a video game champ.

He makes a great entrance,

but he's gotta move quickly
before that tube sinks.

The faster you go, the more likely you are

to be able to jump
onto the Dreadmills with success.

Here is a major leap.

It looks like
he's got enough height.

He's got it!

Can we talk about
what's going on next door?

They're in pain.

It's not possible!

They're devastated.

They shouldn't be,

because both of Brazil's competitors
will be moving on to Level 3.

Now, unfortunately South Korea's
Jongsuk Kim has been eliminated.

Next up is South Korea's

last remaining competitor, Taeho Kwon.

His main mission?

To make the South Korean people proud.

All kinds of athletes are here
from all around the world.

It's an honor to go through all this.

All the Korean people are shouting for me,

and I will do my best to please them.

Back to the action,

Taeho is well on his way
to succeeding on his mission

as he gets to the bottom
of Spinal Descent.

He's taking his time,

trying to assess if he can get
to that Point Thruster.

Look at the flexibility of Taeho Kwon!

Look at the flexibility!

There we go!

I mean, he does a full split in mid-air,

and gets the Point Thruster.

Taeho Kwon. That was
impressive, and it got him 20 points,

as he makes his way into Stomach Churn.

Oh, no... He's gotta be careful.

He earned
the name "Sonic" back home,

and now we can see why.

He just blazed through that obstacle
like a video game hedgehog.

I'm not sure he knows
where he is right now, after that landing.

He's kind of shaking off the cobwebs now.

He wants to hear it!

You are the best!

This is where Sonic
needs to be supersonic and move fast.

Can't take his time.

Oh, there he goes!

Slams into the Dreadmill
with a perfect landing.

He's climbing! He's got it!

Literally, don't blink,
because he just made it

through two obstacles in no time.

We saw Phillip Meyers stall out
on this obstacle,

but it looks like Taeho Kwon
learned from Phillip's mistakes,

and he's keeping the momentum going.

He is cruising.

He's super strong.

He didn't try
for the Point Thruster.

I think now
you want to get to the next thing,

because if you get to Vertebrace,
he could be in the lead.

Kwon Taeho!

That is how you do it!

Kwon Taeho!

- That was amazing!
- The final obstacle!

Taeho Kwon is
the first competitor

to ever make it to Vertebrace.

There's five Vertebrace in total,

and the space between
each one is seven feet.

Oh, great move! Great technique.

And the Vertebrace
are approximately ten by ten,

and the opening isn't that big.

Oh!

We have never seen anyone finish
Level 2 on Ultimate Beastmaster.

Will tonight be the night?

He's one jump away!

I can't believe it!

Look! He's about to complete...

Taeho Kwon, he's done it!

Ohh! Amazing!

That was awesome!

Kwon Taeho! Kwon Taeho!

That was so hard!

Yeah, South Korea!

Yeah!

It's so great. I'm so proud to be Korean.

Korea is the strongest.

Go, Korea! Whoo!

One, two, three...

South Korea!

Amazing!

From start to finish,

an epic performance
from South Korea's Taeho Kwon.

He wanted to show
how Asian athletes can dominate.

Well, he's definitely made
his point. Congratulations!

Feeling
the South Korean love right now,

that incredible run put
South Korean Taeho Kwon in first place,

and he'll be moving on to Level 3.

Jalil al Akabani is now eliminated,

which means Mexico
is officially out of the competition.

And now it all comes down to this.

If Jonas Kegelmann scores
more than 110 points,

he'll be moving on to Level 3.

That'll send Yuji Urushihara packing

much earlier than anyone expected.

Jonas!

Yeah!

The Germans are fired up,
and rightfully so.

This 19-year-old competitor

could take a Japanese legend
out of the competition.

We've seen it happen
so often here.

Anything can happen
on Ultimate Beastmaster.

Well, Jonas
definitely has some skills.

He's into parkour,
he's into rock climbing...

Jonas Kegelmann on his way
to the next obstacle.

Go, Jonas, go!

Dives into Spinal Descent,
and looking strong

as he tries to beat
Yuji's score of 110 points.

I'm still in shock about Yuji.

This is a guy who was favored
to win this entire competition,

but right now he's close to elimination.

Now, let's not speak
too soon, Terry.

Jonas seems to be having some trouble.

Oh, look at him.
He's tied up a little bit.

Well, he's okay. He's okay.

Now, if he goes for this Point Thruster
and clears Spinal Descent,

he could end Yuji's night
right here, right now.

He's just gotta reach out!

This is where flexibility can save you.

Well, he's trying.
He just can't seem to make it happen.

He dipped his foot into the blood.

That's not gonna help, having wet shoes.

He can't get
that Point Thruster,

which means Yuji is still alive.

Just barely,
and I'm on the edge of my seat!

So, this is it.
Jonas needs to get through Stomach Churn

if he wants to stamp his ticket to Level 3
and send the Japanese legend packing.

No, Jonas!

I thought he had that one!

Oh, I thought he had it, too!

That is going to eliminate
Jonas from the competition.

Yuji survives and is moving on.

Brazil!

They are making fun of us
because Jonas is out.

What are you going to say?

Yeah! Our two Brazilians are in!

Phillip Meyer,
you know, the German GI Joe?

Yes.

He's on second place,
Brazil on three and four.

- So Germany is still rocking.
- Good.

- No, no...
- No, no, no, no!

- Yes we are! Yes we are!
- No, no, no!

Whoo!

While those guys
continue to fight it out,

let's quickly recap the leader board.

In first place is the only competitor

to finish Level 2, Taeho Kwon,

followed by Germany's Phillip Meyer,

Brazil's Marcel Stevanin,

and Eduardo Oliveira.

And in fifth place is Japan's
Yuji Urushihara.

Let's check out what our five remaining
competitors are up against next.

In Level 3, known as the Energy Pyramid,

there are a total of 240 points
up for grabs.

At the end, they'll have
a tough decision to make:

choose one path
that will get them out quicker,

or another that will allow them
to tackle three bonus obstacles.

Choosing that comes with a risk, though.

Succeed at any of them,
and you'll earn 40 points.

Fail, and you lose 40 points.

It's a historic night, Terry.

It could be the first time
in Beastmaster history

that all three levels are completed.

With Japan's
Yuji Urushihara still in this,

I think we might see it.

I might have this, if my timing's not off.

In any case, I'm nervous.

This is a tough one.

We need to take the Korean out.
He is very confident.

Go home, Korea.

All kinds of athletes are here
from all over the world.

I want to show them that a Korean

can be the best among them.

Today is me and Marcel, for sure.

Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

First up
is Germany's Phillip Meyer,

who currently is in second place.

This dancing soldier has been breaking
his way across the course.

And he's still rocking that beret.
I love it!

In Level 2,
I was already wearing my beret.

Now in Level 3, I am wearing it again...

for my comrades.

He's gonna need
that lucky beret here.

That Ejector is no joke.

Here we go, Phillip!

Phillip, come on!

Makes a good transition.

He's gotta time this jump right.

There it is, on to Prism Strike!

He's moving very fast.

Just cruises by the first Point Thruster.

And he swings his way
right onto the Coil Crawl.

Now, Phillip has to quickly make his way
through these metallic rings and pipes

because, remember, this thing
will start sinking the moment he steps in.

Let's see if he can use some
of that fancy footwork to get across here.

You can see it starting to sink.

He's gotta move faster!

Come on! Come on!

Oh, his foot just went in!

Not a good sign.

Come on. Come on!

Yuji watching
and taking mental notes.

I don't think Phillip's got
enough height now. He's trying!

Climbing to the top
of that coil, but it's not gonna happen.

He is done.

Yuji seeing that Level 3
is no walk in the park.

It was too shaky.

In the beginning, it was too fast.

Next is Marcel Stevanin
from Brazil.

Now, Marcel did hurt his hand
on the last level

trying to save himself on the Dreadmill.

No!

And he has it taped up,
so let's see if he can hang on for Brazil.

Here he goes.

And he slips off!

What the hell?

Grab it! Hold it,

for the love of God!

A disappointing run for Marcel.

With just 160 points,

he is one step closer to elimination.

Take a look at his foot placement
on that jump.

His timing was a bit off,

and his left foot was taken
right out from under him.

That prevented him from getting
a strong jump.

If my hand was... maybe...

But when I went to grab it,
I could not close my fingers.

So...

Next up is South Korea's
Taeho Kwon.

Now, he showed incredible athleticism

by being the only competitor
to finish Level 2.

Absolutely.

He's been entertaining to watch tonight.

And now he's only one run away
from reaching the finals.

You think he's got
another perfect run in him?

Let's find out.

- Look at this!
- Ohh!

Taeho Kwon is an actor,

so you know he loves
showing off for the cameras.

He'd better be careful, though.

Oh, he makes the grab
and cruises through Prism Strike!

Coming up
on that Point Thruster!

Oh, and he just misses.

Look how quickly he's on to Coil Crawl!

He's acting like one heck
of an athlete right now!

- It's harder than it looks.
- Way harder.

He's going for the bonus!
Smart move.

And just a reminder, Terry.

For every one he completes,
he'll earn an additional 40 points.

But, remember, if he fails, he'll have
40 points subtracted from his score.

That's a lot of points.

It could be the deciding factor
in who moves on to the final level.

He's making his way
to the first bonus obstacle, Bungee Beds.

Okay, kid. I'm so sorry.

There are three suspended beds
that you've got to work across

without falling off.

It's an obstacle that you really
don't want to rush.

Yeah, these are
incredibly unstable.

You want to stay centered and low.

If you get too eager
and move too quickly, you are gone.

He makes
a quick jump here and lands it!

He's gotta get centered.

Let's see what happened.

It looks like he landed
a bit on his side,

so when he went to get centered,
he fell off balance.

That Bungee Bed is not forgiving.

Now, Taeho Kwon's fail
on the Bungee Bed

may have cost him 40 points,

but it's still enough to take first place

and knock out Brazil's Marcel Stevanin.

It's now up to the next competitor,
Eduardo Oliveira,

to keep Brazil in this competition,

and he needs more than 240 points

to knock Germany's Phillip Meyer out.

It's Brazil versus Germany right now.

Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

Germany!

He makes an awkward landing.

Oh, no! Stumbles again!

He can't recover!

He cannot recover!

He danced, looked around,

wiggled, jumped. Edu is out.

It looks like he really misjudged
the speed of the Ejector.

He couldn't get his footing,

and that speed just threw
his balance off immediately.

We know that the winner is the one
that makes the least mistakes.

I messed up in the beginning,
unfortunately.

Clearly not
how Eduardo wanted to go out.

He now joins countrymate Marcel Stevanin

as the second competitor to be eliminated,

as Brazil has shockingly been taken
out of this competition.

South Korea's Taeho Kwon
has secured a spot in Level 4,

and now it's all about
who he's going to face.

It all comes down to this.

Obstacle course legend Yuji Urushihara

is our last competitor to go,

and Germany's Phillip Meyer
is on the bubble.

Can this man pull this off?

Well, Terry,
Yuji dominated the first level,

completing all the obstacles,

to prove why he's Japan's
most accomplished Sasuke competitor.

Then he was looking strong in Level 2

until the temptation
of that Point Thruster

knocked him out of Spinal Descent.

Now he'll need those extra points
because it's all on the line.

It all comes down to this!

Japan versus Germany!

If Yuji can score more than 240 points,

he'll not only move on to Level 4,

but he'll become
the first Japanese competitor to do so.

Then Phillip Meyer will be
dancing his way back to Germany.

Please make us proud.

Yes, do your best!

Oh, he stumbles!

He recovers. Can he make the jump?

Oh, no, it's over!

Oh no, what happened?

So disappointing!

The Sasuke legend is eliminated!

- Yuji!
- What the hell, Yuji?

- Yuji!
- What the hell, Yuji?

Brazil is very upset that Yuji is out.

You guys love Yuji.

We love Yuji!

- We love Yuji!
- Love Yuji!

In fact, it seems
more so than Japan themselves.

Hmm...

Six seconds,
and his night is over.

He ill-timed that jump.

I'm in total disbelief right now!

Goodbye, Yuji.

I'm terribly sorry to everyone
who cheered me on.

If there's ever the chance,

I'd like to participate again.
It was a mediocre finish,

and I'm terribly sorry.

This is gonna be
quite the match-up, Charissa.

Taeho Kwon and Phillip Meyer

both showed impressive skills

in the first three levels,

but now they're gonna give each other
a run for the money in the Power Source.

That's right. This final level,
the Power Source,

is a massive 80-foot tower

that our last two competitors
will have to climb.

Now, whoever scores
the most points after six minutes

will walk away with $10,000.

And if the score is tied
after time elapses,

then whoever is
the highest up on the tower

is the winner.

I want to show them that I can do it.

That a dance instructor and soldier

can compete against the best athletes
in the world.

I'm going to make it no matter what.

I want to show everyone
what Koreans can do.

Here we go.

- Yes.
- It all comes down to this.

- There they go.
- Here we go.

- Go, Korea!
- C'mon, Phillip!

This is it, Level 4.

One of these two is walking home
with $10,000.

They're gonna race to the top
of this 80-foot wall.

There's four sections in total.

Each one of the Energy Taps
in Foundation are worth ten points.

Again, Energy Taps
are very, very important.

Mm-hmm.

Taeho Kwan using his feet,
his hands, everything,

as is Phillip Meyer, to get things
done here in Level 4.

- That's it! That's it!
- He's going to touch it!

Taeho Kwan slips off!

That gives Phillip Meyer an opening.

Phillip, he has got 20 points!

There's another one.

It looks like
Phillip Meyer's lead doesn't last long.

Taeho Kwon comes back to tie it up
at 120 points.

And they're both trying
to work their way out of Grid Lock.

Almost! He reaches.

But he's got time.
He's got time to recover.

Tied again! It's neck and neck.

Phillip Meyer responds.

These two are just going back and forth
as they continue up the wall.

I mean, there's $10,000 on the line here.

And there's Phillip Meyer
as he reaches the top...

and gets out of Grid Lock!

Phillip!

- Phillip Meyer!
- Phillip!

There he goes. Gets another tap.

He's got it.

As Taeho Kwon struggles
to find his footing here

and time is winding down,

as Phillip Meyer... nice execution!

Oh, just misses!

Look at Phillip Meyer!

This is very, very, very, very impressive.

He's hitting those Energy Taps!

Phillip Meyer starting
to build quite a lead.

Taeho Kwon needs
to make an extraordinary move.

Thirty seconds left to go!
It's not over yet.

A very impressive showing
by Phillip Meyer.

And look at this technique he's used!

Phillip Meyer is
60 feet high right now.

That's a six-story building.

Listen, and he keeps going up!

With almost ten seconds left...

I mean, look at this thing.

...he has gone!

Unbelievable!

Six, five, four...

three, two, one.

It is over!

Phillip Meyer!

He won $10,000!

Phillip Meyer
is tonight's Beastmaster.

He takes home $10,000!

He will now move on to the finals,

where he'll have an opportunity
to win $50,000

and be crowned the Ultimate Beastmaster!

I cannot describe this feeling.
Incredible.

I am Beastmaster and look forward
to the chance

to become the Ultimate Beastmaster.

Now, join us next time to see
12 more competitors take on the Beast,

and we will see
who will be the Beastmaster.
