"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."
