[birds chirping]
[Felipe in Portuguese] I'm a calm guy, quiet, really calm.
But when I'm climbing or competing, my attitude changes.
Brazil!
My name is Felipe Camargo, and I am a climbing athlete.
My mother says that since I was little,
I would climb trees at my grandmother's house.
There was a Brazilian grape tree... This increased my desire to climb.
I am the first climber in Brazil who can make a living from climbing...
and I was invited to carry the Olympic torch
in the Rio Olympics. It was a huge honor.
I'm here to show that climbers are ready for anything,
and I'm going to be the Ultimate Beastmaster. Wait and see.
[static]
[crowd cheering]
[Charissa] Wow, Terry, Brazil's Felipe Camargo enters this competition
with a résumé that may actually scare this Beast.
[Terry] You're talking about a man who's used to climbing.
- He is a five-time... - [Charissa] A professional climber.
[Terry] Brazilian climbing champion...
from 2010 all the way to 2015.
That's five years in a row.
[Charissa] Makes his way up Jaw Breaker with ease,
and dances up Mother Tongue.
Approaching that first Point Thruster worth ten points,
and, Terry, I know you're a big believer in taking the risk to get those.
[Terry] If you don't have the points, you won't move on to the next level.
[Charissa] Well, Felipe just blew right past without even considering it.
[Terry] That's not a great strategy, in my opinion.
[Charissa] Right now, he's got 30 points,
and he is on to Throat Erosion.
[Terry] And nails it!
[Charissa] He's got himself 40 points as he moves on to Faceplant.
[Terry] Throat Erosion is done!
Now, this is where it gets tough.
[loud hydraulic hiss]
[Terry] Not surprising, considering that this guy is on fire.
And there he goes. Oh, nice swing!
- [in Portuguese] Attaboy! - [in Portuguese] It was easy!
[both] Felipe from Brazil!
[Charissa] The Brazilian hosts are fired up by this guy, and for good reason.
[competitor] Come on, Felipe!
[Charissa] Felipe is quite the hero in his country.
Did you know that he carried the torch in last summer's Olympic Games?
[competitor] Yeah!
[crowd cheering]
[Terry] He's a little nervous right now,
deciding if he's gonna get a little momentum.
- [Charissa] There you go. - [Terry] Good job.
[Charissa] This next one is a 12-foot jump.
[Terry] Here he goes.
There you go, there you go. You got it.
Aimed right for the middle of the coil, perfectly done.
[Charissa] I like his approach. He's not rushed.
[Terry] No, not at all.
There it is.
[Charissa] He's got 60 points now,
and he's on the last obstacle of Level 1, the Mag Wall.
[Terry] Here he goes.
For a rock climber, this should be right in his wheelhouse.
[click of releasing magnet]
[Charissa] Oh, here you go,
the psychology behind those magnets falling off around you.
Doesn't seem to be bothering him right now
as he approaches that curved cross section.
[Terry] He's doing very well right now!
Look at that!
One-handed!
[all exclaim]
Brazil!
[both] Brazil!
[Charissa] He completes Level 1!
He doesn't even look winded.
Does not even look tired!
[Terry] And you can't start any better than that!
We are in for an unbelievable competition tonight.
[instrumental theme music playing]
[Charissa] It's glorious, it's massive, it's magnificent.
[chuckles] Oh, thank you!
I wasn't talking about you, Terry. I was talking about the Beast.
Oh.
[laughs] Hello, everyone, I am Charissa Thompson.
And he is magnificent, glorious, and massive.
And he's gonna hurt someone with these things.
You didn't have to say that, Charissa, but I'm so glad you did.
Right now, we have 12 brave competitors
from six different countries
who are about to take on that magnificent monstrosity
that we call the Beast.
[Charissa] So, Felipe Camargo started things off by finishing Level 1.
[Terry] I'll be curious to see if anyone can match up with this guy.
[Charissa] Well, let's quickly meet the two Americans hoping to do just that.
The first competitor to go head-to-head with the Beast
is parkour sensation Brandon Douglass from Boulder, Colorado.
He's 5'9" and 145 pounds.
Brandon has dominated in hundreds of parkour competitions
using his combination of both speed and agility.
Parkour just teaches you a lot about yourself,
because you're constantly dealing with your fears.
[Brandon] I thrive with really precise technical obstacles,
stuff that most people would be scared to jump to.
If you're scared to jump to a one-foot wall,
then try jumping to something that's two inches wide.
I'm here to test myself, surprise myself,
and hopefully show the world
what parkour athletes can do.
[Charissa] On the east coast is Mimi Bonny, from New York City.
This entrepreneur and champion weightlifter
boasts impressive strength and flexibility,
and she plans on showing the Beast just how strong she is.
I've been weightlifting for 15 years,
and I'm a three-time nationally qualified body builder.
[Mimi] I really focus on training my entire body:
strength, power, endurance, core,
so that I'm prepared for anything that this Beast could be.
There are no words to describe
how badly I want to win this for the USA.
It is gonna happen. You watch.
[Charissa] Brandon Douglass and Mimi Bonny,
this one-two punch from the United States,
is ready to knock out the other countries
as they battle it out to become the Ultimate Beastmaster.
Let's root for our first American,
Brandon Douglass, from Boulder, Colorado.
- [countdown clock beeps] - [Terry] I like this kid's chances.
He's one of the most successful parkour athletes in the entire competition.
[Charissa] Very nimble, cruising up Jaw Breaker.
[Terry] He's making great time.
[Charissa] Approaching Brain Matter, which consists of a very unstable beam.
[Terry] You gotta be cautious.
[Terry and Charissa] Oh!
[Terry] This is the first time I've ever seen...
someone fall off Brain Matter!
Pathetic, I know.
[scoffs] What can you do?
[Charissa] Hoping to have a little more luck
is 29-year-old César Curti from Brazil.
[Terry] Much more cautious approach here than we saw from Brandon.
[Charissa] That makes sense.
César is heavily involved in both yoga and meditation.
[Rafinha] Ladies and gentlemen, another Brazilian in the competition.
- Let's cheer. - Come on, cheering. Go, Brazil!
[Terry] This is where we just saw Brandon Douglass fall.
This beam will toss you if you don't get your balance established.
[Charissa] And he's got an opportunity for that first Point Thruster here.
[Terry] He passed right by!
You gotta get those points when you can. I don't like that decision.
[Charissa] César is trained in kung fu,
Muay Thai boxing, as well as MMA fighting.
[Terry] So he's down to kick some butt on this course.
He did it. Very well!
[Charissa] César is 6'1", 182 pounds, and he's not just physically sharp,
he's worked on his mental game, as well.
[in Portuguese] My motto is that we are unlimited.
I think the human being is unlimited.
Athletes, artists, singers are proving this more and more.
When you think that humanity has a limit,
there is someone who put that limit there.
[Terry] That's a great philosophy.
Let's see if he's mentally prepared for Faceplant.
[Terry and Charissa exclaim] No!
- [Rafinha] César! - [Anderson groans]
[Rafinha mutters]
[Terry] Oh, look at that.
No elevation at all.
That was out and down.
Let me tell you, there are times you want to be off the chain.
- This is not one of them! - [Charissa and Terry laugh]
That's what I feared,
because I sweat a lot in my hands, since I was little.
[Charissa] That run put César in second place,
and Brazil owns the top two spots.
Now, let's check out how these next competitors did
in their attempt to defeat the Beast.
Here's South Korea's Woochul Kim.
[in Korean] I'm not comfortable. I'm here to enjoy myself.
And that's what I'm gonna do.
[Charissa] And telenovela actress Thaily Amezcua from Mexico.
[in Spanish] I'm not competing against others.
I'm competing against myself.
If I think I can do it, then I can.
[Charissa] There's Mimi Bonny, our entrepreneur from New York.
I'm gonna tackle that Beast.
It is showtime.
[Charissa] And Daigo Nakano, a CrossFit trainer from Japan.
[in Japanese] I'd like to conquer the course cool and collected.
[Charissa] Thaily looked like she was going to crush the Beast...
but when she got to Throat Erosion, it was curtains for the telenovela star.
Mimi also struggled on the third obstacle,
and the Beast forced this entrepreneur right out of business.
It's a lot harder than it looks.
[Terry] Daigo took on the Energy Coils like a karate champ.
My home is a karate dojo,
so I've always been learning martial arts.
[Terry] But when he went for the Point Thruster,
he learned that the Beast has a black belt in punishment.
[Charissa] And, finally, basketball player Woochul Kim
dribbled past the early obstacles of Level 1.
[Terry] He's going for it. He's going for it!
[Charissa] Oh!
- [in Korean] He grabbed it! - [in Korean] He made it!
- Hanging onto the post, he made it! - [Kyeong chuckles]
[Charissa] His athletic skills took him all the way to the Mag Wall,
until he got dunked on by the Beast.
- [Terry and Charissa exclaim] - [Terry] And into the blood!
He could not hold on!
Here's my advice for these competitors:
turn yourself into a cat poster!
[both] "Hang in there."
[Charissa] And with that, Brazil's Felipe Camargo
has been knocked out by South Korea's Woochul Kim,
who managed to post a faster time.
[Terry] And speaking of South Korea,
Woochul Kim's countrymate, Chang Suk Bang,
is inside the Beast as we speak, getting ready to take on the Energy Coils.
- [Charissa] He's got himself 50 points... - [Terry] He's got it!
As he leaps onto the first Energy Coil.
[Terry] I don't know, it looks like the Beast is wearing him out.
- [Charissa] Whoa! - [Terry] Explodes! There he is! Look...
- [Terry] He's got it! He's got it! - [Charissa] Wow!
[Terry] Excellent grip strength.
[Charissa] Just one more Energy Coil left before he reaches the Mag Wall.
- He's good. - I know!
[Charissa] Here we go on to the Mag Wall.
[Terry] Watch how he's using his legs and keeping his feet engaged.
That takes pressure off his hands. Really great technique, right?
[Charissa] Agreed, Terry.
Now, nobody has defeated the Mag Wall tonight since Felipe Camargo.
- [Terry] Oh, I love his technique! - [Charissa] Wow!
- [Charissa] Now we get to that... - [Terry] Excellent technique.
[Charissa] that curved cross section. What will he do?
[Terry] This is where he gets to the hanging section.
[Charissa inhales sharply]
[Charissa] Ooh, Terry, is he gonna do it? Is he gonna do it?
[Terry] He's almost there!
- [Terry] Excellent! - [Charissa] Whoa!
[Terry] But he's got two hands on one handle!
He made it!
- [Terry] He can swing his way to the end! - [Kyeong cheers]
[Terry and Charissa] Yeah!
[Terry] Chang Suk Bang!
[all exclaiming]
[both cheering]
- He made it! Chang Suk made it! - [Kyeong cheering]
Real candidate for Beastmaster!
[sighs] It feels so great.
I'll carry this momentum and make Korea proud.
[Charissa] We've got a tight three-man race in this competition.
Brazil's Felipe Camargo better keep
an eye on both South Korean athletes.
Next up is our youngest competitor of the night.
Coming to us from Mexico
is 20-year-old Ivan Zepeda.
[Ivan in Spanish] On my first day of high school,
the kids started to bully me.
I felt alone...
When I first started with my acrobatics...
my life changed a lot.
And I'd like to be an example for all Mexicans
that practice this sport, and that's my focus.
To be someone kids can look at and think: "If he can do it, why can't I?"
That's what I'd really love to do.
[Charissa] And back on the course, Ivan has done a great job so far.
He's now on the Energy Coils with 50 points.
[in Spanish] Whoo! That's so perfect! You're doing great!
[Charissa] Ivan's putting his gymnastics background to good use.
[Terry] Well, the other competitors are cheering him on today.
[crowd cheering]
[both exclaiming] No!
[in Spanish] No, Ivan, Ivan, Ivan...
[Charissa] Unfortunately, USA's Brandon Douglass
is the first athlete eliminated,
and his countrymate, Mimi Bonny, is on the bubble.
[Terry] Not looking good for the USA right now.
But as we get close to the end of Level 1,
let's take a look at how the two German athletes fared
during their battle with the Beast.
[Charissa] College student Ludwig Hefele showed off his impressive parkour skills.
[in German] I am always trying to be better than the day before.
That is my motto.
[Charissa] As ready as Ludwig may have been,
he couldn't hold on all the way to the finish.
[both exclaiming]
- [in German] No! - [in German] What happened there?
[Terry] Psychologist Steffen Zimmermann refused to let the Beast
get inside his head...
but the Energy Coils brought his session to a quick end.
He has to be careful there.
Damn it!
Germany!
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!
[Charissa] Those runs by the two Germans put Ludwig in fourth place
and Steffen in sixth, and unfortunately,
Mexico's Thaily Amezcua and USA's Mimi Bonny have been eliminated.
Brazil's César Curti has now fallen all the way to eighth place,
and sits on the bubble.
[Terry] And now it all comes down to this,
our last athlete for Level 1,
and it's Japan's Kaori Sakai.
[Charissa] If Kaori scores more than 40 points,
she'll guarantee herself a spot in Level 2,
and Felipe Camargo's countrymate, César Curti, will be going home.
Kaori is looking focused, and she's ready to show the Beast
that you do not mess with Mom.
[in Japanese] I graduated high school, got married,
and had a child. We divorced two years after the marriage, sadly.
As the parent of a boy, I knew I needed to get stronger,
so I started CrossFit
to show how a single mother can live strong.
I'd like to win at Beastmaster.
[Terry] Kaori Sakai has been looking like Supermom so far.
She's got 30 points going into Throat Erosion.
Eyes should be focused on the rope.
You cannot reach an object you don't see.
- And there she goes! She's got it! - [Charissa] Attagirl!
[Terry] Takes a deep breath, getting herself ready.
This is all about the spirit of Ultimate Beastmaster.
Can she make it past this?
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!
[in Japanese] Don't give up!
[Yuji in Japanese] Time is running out!
- [Sayaka groans] - Ah, but she's fallen!
[Charissa] Unfortunately, she's eliminated,
and César Curti is moving on.
South Korea's Woochul Kim,
Brazil's Felipe Camargo,
and South Korea's Chang Suk Bang
all finished at the top of the leader board with 70 points,
followed by Germany's Ludwig Hefele,
Mexico's Ivan Zepeda,
and Germany's second competitor,
Steffen Zimmermann.
Rounding it out at the bottom
is Japan's Daigo Nakano
and Brazil's César Curti.
[Terry] Let's see what the Beast has in store for Level 2.
[Charissa] Level 2 consists of seven punishing obstacles
and two Point Thrusters, all worth 20 points each.
A perfect run will score competitors an additional 180 points.
Kicking off Level 2, it's 24-year-old Felipe Camargo.
[Terry] This guy is a legend in his native Brazil.
[Felipe] Climbing in Brazil is a very small sport.
When I told people I wasn't going to study,
that I was going to dedicate myself to climbing,
everyone said, "You're crazy."
It was not easy, but I'm living the dream.
It's an honor to represent Brazil.
And I'm here to show that the climber is prepared for anything.
And I'll be the Ultimate Beastmaster. Watch me.
[Charissa] The rock-climbing champ showed us he's a front-runner
by finishing Level 1.
[Terry] No question!
Let's see what he's got left in the tank here on Spinal Ascent.
[Charissa] He is so well-conditioned as an athlete.
He's been a climber since he was ten years old.
[Terry] All that practice is coming in handy today.
It's an eight-foot jump to that top platform.
Wow, did you see that?
He just muscled his way up that platform.
That's about as smooth as we've seen that obstacle done!
[Charissa] Now, we know this guy can climb.
Let's see how he falls as he takes on Spinal Descent.
[Terry] It's all about body control and weight distribution here.
Those cords can give out suddenly if you don't hold on right.
- [Charissa laughs] You mean like that? - [Terry] Exactly!
[Charissa] Twenty points are about to go down right now for him
if he's able to reach out to that Point Thruster.
- [Terry] Yeah, now my man... - [Charissa] There we go.
[Charissa] He's hanging on with one hand!
- [Terry] One bungee with one hand! - [Charissa chuckles]
Look at that! Are you seeing this? Can you see it?
Felipe is one of the best climbers in the world.
[Charissa] Now, this obstacle may be a little bit tougher for Felipe,
because it relies less on his climbing skills.
[Terry] Yeah, this guy's used to taking on Mother Nature,
and there is nothing natural about this obstacle.
You see how he operates, very calculated and cool.
He takes his time.
He's watching...
- There he goes. - [Charissa and Terry] Whew...
[Charissa] Always a tough transition here, getting into that Digestive Track.
Look at that! Very explosive.
Felipe is a favorite in this competition.
[Charissa] And wow, he's just moving straight through!
Makes his way up beautifully through the Digestive Track,
- up and over! - [Terry] Excellent!
Very well, Felipe!
- [Terry] Superhuman. - [Charissa] Nicely done...
[all exclaiming] No!
- [Terry] Oh, man, my heart is broken! - [Charissa] Oh, that one hurts!
[Charissa] As you can see there, his jump fell just a little short.
I fell because I made a mistake.
I went to the other Dreadmill...
and ended up taking a false step.
But it's okay, it's cool.
[Charissa] Hoping to impress us all as much as Felipe just did,
our next competitor from Germany, Ludwig Hefele.
This guy has both the brawn and the brain to take on the Beast.
My name's Ludwig and I'm from Munich.
I just finished school
and will start studying physics in winter.
[Ludwig] I am the Ultimate Beastmaster because I have all the prerequisites
and am highly motivated and ready to take on the Beast.
Here we go, Ludwig!
Come on, Ludwig!
[Charissa] Ludwig is such a talented parkour athlete,
this obstacle should play right into his wheelhouse.
[Terry] I like how he's not rushed.
Trying to time this jump out right.
He's got it, no. He's got those elbows over.
He's got the elbows over, but he's gotta just continue, yes!
Stretch your arms now... yes!
[Charissa] An excellent job getting up in one try.
With 80 points, he moves on to Spinal Descent.
- [Terry] Straightening his glasses... - [Charissa chuckles]
[Rafinha] Let's see if the German arrives at the end of the course
without glasses.
He cannot do anything without those glasses.
[Terry] It takes a tremendous amount of body awareness
to get through these nerves.
[Charissa] Whoa!
[Terry] That foot is in the blood!
- Both feet in the blood! - [Charissa] Here we go!
[Terry] Oh, his feet are in the blood.
[Charissa] It's all right. As long as all four of his limbs
aren't in the blood, he's fine.
- Now pull yourself up! - No!
[both] Oh!
[Terry] Oh, my goodness!
[Charissa] Oh, Lord!
[Terry] Oh, man!
[Charissa whoops]
[Terry] Great effort! Absolutely great effort
by Ludwig Hefele!
But now he's got two wet feet to contend with.
That won't help him on these next jumps.
[Charissa] No issues on that first jump.
[Terry] He's doing a great job here.
That parkour training is really paying off right now.
[competitor coaching in German]
[Terry] Ow! That was a rough landing. I felt that one.
There he goes. All right, let's see if he can get his grip.
He's making good progress.
[Charissa] That tube is sinking quickly. Once he gets to the top,
he'll need to jump to the Dreadmills as quickly as possible.
[Terry] It's starting to sink into the Beast's blood.
He's gotta make his leap onto the Dreadmills!
He does it!
Yes!
[Terry] Onto the second Dreadmill, he leaps...
[Terry and Charissa exclaim]
[Terry] He does it too fast.
Why? He should have taken his time.
[Terry] He tried to rush the jump and got no lift at all.
[Charissa] Yeah, Terry, he came up real short of that landing pad.
[Terry] He's gonna feel that one in the morning.
[panting] The problem was, when I hit the Point Thruster,
my shoes got wet and I slipped...
when I tried to jump over.
[Charissa] Germany's second competitor of Level 2, Steffen Zimmermann,
is on the course, and he's having a little trouble with Spinal Ascent.
Not gonna happen. Back down to the first platform,
and here we go again.
This is his second attempt, but he has a total of three tries
on this obstacle before he has to give up.
[Terry] These jumps require concentration and impeccable timing to land correctly.
[Charissa] Well, Steffen's a psychologist, so I'm gonna assume that, for him,
this is all about mind over matter.
[Terry] That's right.
You've got to see yourself making these jumps
and then execute it.
There he is. Explosion!
Almost there!
Go! Go! Go!
Use your elbow.
[Terry] Look at that struggle!
Oh, can't hold on. Can't hold on!
I'm tense because of the German.
Are you rooting for the German?
- Brazil is going to be mad at you. - No.
[Charissa] That was his second attempt, so he's only got one more.
- Come on! - Now the jump. Good timing!
[Charissa] This is his last shot. Come on, Steffen!
[Terry] He can do this! You just gotta dig deep!
Mind over matter! Get up there!
I think he's drained.
- That leg is shivering. - [Charissa inhales sharply]
[Terry] The lactic acid buildup right now...
His legs are burning.
Can't do it.
[Terry and Charissa] Oh!
He is exhausted.
[Charissa] Three failed attempts, and that's it for Steffen.
Level 2 is proving to be a daunting challenge.
Let's take a look at how our next three competitors fared against the Beast.
[Terry] First up was Japan's Daigo Nakano,
who came out of Level 1 in seventh place.
He pushed himself beyond his limit on Spinal Ascent.
He's gotta pull his torso over the edge.
I can't stand to see him like this!
[Charissa] Whoa!
[Terry] He's done. It's over.
But his limits weren't high enough to overcome the Beast.
He gave everything he had. Look at him.
[Charissa] Then Mexico's Ivan Zepeda drew upon his own advice
before taking on Level 2.
Honestly, I'm very scared. But I'm a PE teacher,
and I always tell my students not to be afraid.
I'll see you in the third round, Beast.
[Charissa] He had his fear under control when he cruised past Stomach Churn...
[in Spanish] Two more! Two more. Come on!
[Charissa] but when he entered Digestive Track, the Beast spit him out.
- [Terry and Charissa exclaim] - [Terry] No!
Ivan, you got desperate, brother! What happened?
[Terry] Then Level 1 front-runner Woochul Kim from South Korea
showed some amazing moves on Spinal Ascent.
[Charissa] It's all about timing.
That's a huge strategy and skill in Spinal Ascent.
[Terry] Oh! Very, very close!
- Whoa, falling down. - [Charissa] Oh, careful, careful!
[Charissa] Oh, my good...
- Oh, my goodness! - [Terry] Yes!
Wait a little more.
That was... [squeals]
[Terry] ...which kept his run alive.
He did it! He did it!
He did it!
- [cheering] He did it! - He climbed up!
[Terry] He snagged a last-minute Point Thruster...
- Go, get the Point Thruster! - [Charissa and Terry] Oh, no!
[Terry] ...before falling victim to the Beast.
He did it!
I showed how Korean guys are strong.
[Woochul] If I make it to the next level,
I'll try to do better.
[Charissa] Looking at the leader board,
nobody can catch Brazil's Felipe Camargo
and, unfortunately, Japan's Daigo Nakano
is our first competitor eliminated in Level 2.
Next up is Chang Suk Bang from South Korea
and possibly the only man in this competition
tougher than you, Terry.
[in Korean] I've served in the military
for the last ten years
and enjoyed extreme sports.
[Korean hosts cheering]
[both chanting] Chang Suk Bang! Chang Suk Bang!
Ohh...
Go get 'em, Chang Suk Bang!
[Kyung and Kyeong] Go get 'em, Chang Suk Bang!
[Charissa] Tie that shoe.
[Terry] Take your time. You earned it.
Chang Suk Bang is ex-Special Forces.
We'll see if that intense training helps him here on Stomach Churn.
[Terry and Charissa] Whoa!
[Charissa] Look at him hold on to that thing!
- [Terry] Hard. - [Charissa] Oh, my goodness.
- [Terry] That took a little... - [Charissa] Oh, my goodness!
[Terry] A little wind got knocked out of him there.
[Charissa] Sure did.
[Terry] Beast is designed to find your weakness.
[Charissa] Mm-hmm.
[Terry] You have to trust your instincts.
- Oh, man! That hurt to watch. - [Charissa] Wow.
- [Terry] Oh, look at. Oh, he is exhausted. - [Charissa] Exhausted.
- Take a break. - Yeah, just for ten seconds.
[Charissa] Felipe Camargo wondering if he's going to lose his number one spot.
[Terry] Ouch!
[Charissa] And now that tube is gonna lower quick.
[Terry] He's gotta go. Come on!
- He's crawling up! - He's got strength.
- He's going up! - He saved some strength.
No!
[Charissa] Chang Suk Bang has four limbs in the blood. It's over.
[crowd groans]
[Charissa] So, Germany's Steffen Zimmermann
has been eliminated,
but his countryman, Ludwig Hefele, is happy,
because he remains in second place,
right in front of a very frustrated Chang Suk Bang.
I'm so humiliated.
[shouts] I'm sorry!
This is nonsense!
[Charissa] With one run left, Woochul Kim is on the bubble.
Now, he started this level in first,
but all he can do now is watch Brazil's César Curti.
If César completes Stomach Churn,
he takes Woochul Kim's spot in the top five.
[Terry] There it is! Good job.
Great job, César!
[Charissa] He just needs to completely land on that last gear,
and he is through to Level 3.
- Let's go, man! [cheers] - He did it! Whoo-hoo!
[Charissa] Ah. Unfortunately, South Korea's Woochul Kim is eliminated.
[Terry] Whoa! Look at this man. Look at the will!
[Charissa] It looks like he's struggling to find his footing.
Ay, ay, ay...
The platform is already starting to go down.
He is taking a long time to get to the end.
[Terry] He's not moving quick enough!
He's gotta get moving!
Looks like he might pull this off.
Quite a comeback!
Let's see if he has enough height for this jump!
[Terry and Charissa] Whoa!
[Charissa] He doesn't make the jump,
but César did score high enough to move on.
The top five moving on to Level 3 of the Beast are:
Felipe Camargo from Brazil,
Ludwig Hefele from Germany,
Chang Suk Bang from South Korea,
César Curti from Brazil,
and Ivan Zepeda from Mexico.
Let's check out what our five remaining competitors
are up against in Level 3, which is known as the Energy Pyramid.
There are 240 points up for grabs,
depending on which path you take.
One path will take you out quicker,
but the other, more difficult path,
has three bonus obstacles worth 40 points each.
However, if you fail to complete any of the bonus obstacles,
you'll lose 40 points.
I think me and Felipe want a couple of Brazilians in the final.
And the strategy is to get as far as possible.
The third level is very... [in English] tricky.
[Felipe] And the scores are very close. Everybody is neck and neck.
I am starting Level 3 with a slight point advantage
which I am trying to maintain.
[in Korean] My arm's hurt pretty bad.
And four spots on each of my knees.
[in English] One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, five.
[in Korean] All scratched up. It really hurts.
- Are you ready, bro? - Let's go to the finals.
[both exclaim]
Let's go.
[Charissa] Next up, Felipe Camargo.
Wow, is this man impressive or what!
I'm going to tell you, he's my favorite.
He is our Brazilian hero:
[both] Felipe Camargo!
[countdown clock beeps]
- [Terry] There he is. - [Charissa] Does he have enough speed?
[Charissa] He does!
- [Terry] He makes the Prism Strike! - [Charissa whoops]
[Charissa] Blows by the Point Thruster.
[indistinct shouting]
[Terry] Wow, he is putting on a really impressive performance here,
moving very quickly.
- [Charissa] Will he go left or right? - [Terry] Look at him.
[Charissa] He's going right, and moving on to the Extraction.
- He did it! He did it! Whoo-hoo! - Go for it, bro!
[Charissa] Let's see how Felipe Camargo finishes Level 3.
He's on the first pole, and already looking like he's having some trouble.
This obstacle should play into his strengths,
since it relies so heavily on climbing ability.
[Terry] He's having trouble reaching that next pole.
I like his strategy here
of kicking that pole so it swings a little closer.
[Charissa] Oh, he lets go!
But he still manages to score 260 points,
putting himself in excellent position.
Now, trying to follow up on Felipe's impressive performance
is Ivan Zepeda from Mexico.
- Come on, Ivan! - Come on, Mexico!
[Charissa] He's got the lowest point total thus far,
so if he wants to move on,
he's gonna need to put on quite a performance here.
In order to be a better person, you've got to give it your all.
And you'll never know what that is if you don't give it a shot.
I don't know how far I'll get with the Beast.
But I'll give it my best shot.
[Terry] Here he goes on the Ejector.
[Charissa] Ivan Zepeda... no!
[all exclaiming]
The Mexican Tarzan went too far!
[Charissa] Oh, I thought he had it!
[Terry] Oh! Mexico!
Look at this. He leaps...
- [Charissa] Loses the grip. - [Terry] Slipped off.
[Charissa] Oh, how disappointing.
I don't know why I lost the rope. I had it and then...
Oh well... I wasn't expecting to get this far, and I'm happy.
I would've loved to get further, but...
[Charissa] Oh, a disappointing end for Ivan Zepeda.
Next up is César Curti from Brazil.
César Curti from Brazil!
Heck, Anderson, so much emotion. I'm very excited, too.
[Charissa] And let's see if he can make an all-Brazil final a reality.
Does he have enough speed? Does he have enough speed?
- He does! - [Terry] He makes the Prism Strike!
[Charissa whoops]
[Terry] Oh, barely misses the Point Thruster!
Getting through this quickly
could be a problem for someone as big as César, 6'1", 182.
Oh, he slips off!
He's still in it, but now he's got wet feet.
[Terry and Charissa] Oh, no!
[exclaiming]
I underestimated this one. [chuckles]
[César] I didn't realize the descent was so slippery.
I wanted to go down with my foot, but I should have held my hand.
Let's hope no one else manages to get the rope so I'm still in.
[Charissa] So, César's run gives him a total of 200 points,
putting him in second place.
That means the dream of an all-Brazilian final is still alive!
Next up for South Korea is Chang Suk Bang,
and he's one of the strongest competitors across this competition.
And he's not timid about it.
I joined the Army when I was really young.
It's something like Special Forces.
I served for 11 years.
I have the most experience
among all the contestants.
[Charissa] Chang Suk Bang was a drill sergeant
and a trainer to over 30,000 soldiers in South Korea.
Now he's gonna try to use that experience
to break up this all-Brazil final.
[Terry] Excellent technique. He's put himself in position.
[Terry and Charissa] Oh, no!
W... What?
[Terry] Shock and disbelief!
Let me tell you, this is the most uncool way to go out.
[laughs]
[Terry] He had a great approach, but he just mistimed that jump.
Oh, it just looks so awkward.
[Charissa] Oh! He didn't even get a chance to jump.
[Terry] Man! No way to look cool on that.
[Chang Suk] I don't believe it.
[Charissa] So, Chang Suk Bang scores zero points,
and that takes him out of the running.
I'm so humiliated.
[sighs] That was ridiculous.
[Charissa] That keeps César Curti and hopes of an all-Brazilian final alive.
We are cheering for César, guys. Go, Brazil!
[Terry] Anderson and Rafinha better not celebrate yet!
There's one run to go, and it's Germany's Ludwig Hefele.
[Charissa] To guarantee himself a spot in Level 4,
all he has to do is get past Prism Strike.
I am trying to do my best and have fun.
I will use my skills to get as far as I can.
- Here we go, Ludwig! - Ludwig!
[Charissa] He's been able to watch everybody else go,
so let's see if he's learned anything.
[Terry] It all comes down to this jump.
- He did it! And he got it. - [Charissa] Ahhh!
- [Charissa] Whoa! - [Terry] Yeah, he's got it! He's got it.
[Charissa] That means César is out of the competition.
Level 4 will be Germany's Ludwig Hefele
taking on Felipe Camargo from Brazil.
[Terry] This is all just a victory lap for Ludwig.
He wants to show the other competitors that he can complete Level 3.
[Charissa] Making quick work of the Coil Crawl.
[Terry] And he's going into Extraction.
[Charissa] Yep, that's right, Extraction.
[Terry] I have to question his strategy here.
I get finishing what you started,
but he should really be saving his energy for Level 4.
He is starting to regret his decision.
This does not look good.
- [Terry] Oh! - [Charissa] Wow!
[Charissa] Into the blood! But it's not gonna matter.
Ludwig is moving on to Level 4.
He fell into the water and those glasses are there, man.
- Dude, those glasses are stuck. - What? No!
I swear, those glasses are attached. Look. They are attached.
This guy did some witchcraft there.
I am very happy.
I knew I had reached the final
and wanted to save my energy
for Level 4.
We started with 12, and now we are down to the final two,
Felipe Camargo and Ludwig Hefele.
[Terry] This is gonna be a great match-up, Charissa.
Ludwig and Felipe both showed impressive skills
at all three levels,
but now they are about to take on
the ultimate in Power Source.
You're right. Let's do this.
[Charissa] This is it, the fourth and final level so far!
Felipe Camargo has dominated this competition!
- [Terry] Look at that! One-handed! - [cheering]
[Felipe] It's an honor to be here representing Brazil.
I always devote 100% to everything I do.
Brazil!
[Terry] One of the best efforts I have ever seen.
[Charissa] But, as we enter the final level,
he's found a worthy challenger in Ludwig Hefele.
Come on, Ludwig!
[Charissa] With phenomenal parkour skills, Ludwig Hefele, he's got the speed...
Whoo!
[Terry] Wills his way back!
[Charissa] ...strength, and climbing ability
to take on the most formidable competitor we've ever seen.
I will advance as fast as possible and try to stay focused.
[Charissa] Now they'll battle it out on the toughest obstacle in the Beast,
one that no competitor has yet to conquer,
an 80-foot climb up the Power Source.
Let's go!
[Charissa] Because only one of them will win $10,000
and advance to the finals...
for a chance to become the Ultimate Beastmaster.
So, what do you say? Let's do this!
[countdown clock beeps]
[Charissa] Okay, here we go.
- Here we go, Ludwig! - Felipe!
[Charissa] You'd think that Felipe would have an edge in this match-up,
considering his background.
[Terry] Yeah, but don't underestimate Ludwig.
He's come through time and time again in this competition.
[Charissa] They're both moving up very quickly.
[Terry] That's important, but you want to take your time
and make sure you secure your weight on these holds
because if you slip you're gonna fall off the wall,
and then you're gonna have to regroup.
[Charissa] And Felipe has a slight lead
as they move from Foundation on to Grid Lock.
[Terry] Oh, no, Ludwig lost his grip!
[Charissa] Well, Felipe is making quick work of Grid Lock.
[Terry] There's no reason for Ludwig to panic yet.
He's got to keep his composure and stay focused.
Ludwig just hits another Energy Tap.
Oh, just sails through!
[Charissa] He's already into the third part of Level 4,
which is the Ventilator.
Ludwig, meanwhile, is still struggling on Grid Lock.
[Terry] Felipe is going up Ventilator using a chimney climb technique.
Ludwig, he's in Grid Lock.
[Charissa] He's definitely in Grid Lock. He needs an HOV lane.
[Terry laughs] Yeah, definitely. Look at him, shaking his hands out.
[Charissa] Felipe is in his element right now, and it is a treat to watch.
[Terry] He's opening up a big lead right now.
[Charissa] Yeah, Ludwig can't seem to pull himself up and out of Grid Lock.
- Come on, Ludwig! - Pull yourself up!
- Here we go! - Come on!
[Terry] Yeah, those cracks are small.
It's tough to get your grip in there.
He just has to keep pushing himself.
[Charissa] Ludwig is continuing to struggle, while Felipe,
on the other hand, he's taking a commanding lead.
And he has done this in record time.
[Terry] Ludwig still trying to figure out how to get out of Grid Lock.
Look at him, shaking his hands out.
[Charissa] Felipe has now made it onto the first hold in High Voltage!
No one has ever made it to this point!
[Terry] Oh, he loses his balance and drops back down!
[Charissa] He gets his foot back onto that first shelf,
but he can't seem to find anywhere to put his hands!
[Terry] Time is running out! Can he do this?
Look at this! He's got his hand on the second shelf!
We've never seen this before!
Can this guy do the impossible here?
This is incredible!
- And he's almost to the top! - [Charissa] My goodness!
[Charissa screaming] Oh, my goodness!
[Terry] He's gonna do it! He's gonna do it!
[crowd cheering]
[Terry] He's done it!
- He's done it! Oh, my God! - [Charissa] Oh my gosh!
[Terry] This is incredible!
[all exclaiming]
[Terry] He's done it!
[Anderson] Brazil did very well here!
Felipe did very well!
Felipe!
[Charissa] Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
[Terry] Eighty feet in the air...
- Are you coming with me? I'm going. - Sure. Wait for me.
Come on!
[Terry] Felipe Camargo has defeated Level 4, the Power Source.
He just won $10,000.
[Charissa] And he's got the opportunity to advance to the finals
and win $50,000 and the title, Ultimate Beastmaster.
[in English] One, two, three!
Wah!
[yells]
[Charissa] What a night, and what a show he put on!
I'm very happy.
I've been climbing for 15 years.
I knew that if I came to this competition, it would be mine.
[Felipe] I'm very happy.
Thanks, Brazil!
Look, if you're like me,
you cannot get enough of Ultimate Beastmaster.
We will see you at our next episode.
Whoo! I'm exhausted, and I haven't even participated in this thing.
[Charissa] Good night.
[cheering]
[instrumental music playing]
[all chanting] Brazil, Brazil, Brazil!
