Lego Masters (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Cliffhanger! - full transcript
The teams must build a gravity-defying castle off a giant LEGO cliff.
Will: Previously on
"lego masters"...
We blew the sleeves
off this joint...
- Whoo!
- Wow!
...With our most extreme
episode ever.
Extreme high fives!
The builders
flipped their blocks...
It's the worst build
in the room.
...While the brickmasters
flipped over mark and steven.
What a fun
and spiffy renovation.
A bevy of brothers
found themselves on
the brink of elimination...
I would've loved to see
a little bit more detail
in your buildings.
A little bit basic in
its construction technique.
...But in the end,
the siblings were safe.
No one was sent home.
You are all safe.
So next week, we just
have to bring it again.
- But tonight...
- Yeah!
All rise.
...One team
will be eliminated.
Don't blame me. Blame fox.
I don't want
to eliminate anybody.
Build a massive castle
on the edge of a cliff.
Is this even possible?
A trip to the finale hangs
in the balance...
The build that
stretches out the farthest
will automatically
move on to the finals.
- You're measuring it?
- Are we trying
to build the farthest?
...With the craziest
cliffhanger in tv history.
I'm going to cry if it falls.
Who will get
the keys to the kingdom
and find themselves
one step closer
to $100,000 and the title
of lego masters?
The fight has just begun!
Man on pa:
Stand by everybody.
Quiet please.
We are rolling.
Yeah!
- Whoo!
- Castles!
- Castles, yes!
- Oh, yes!
Please be what I think it is.
- It's like-- exactly.
- There's a lot of
medieval vibes going on.
- One of our favorite themes
to build in is castles.
- Oh, boy.
We're basically known
as the castle bros.
- The castle brothers
are so excited.
- I'm terrified.
I have been waiting this
whole time to build a castle,
because I am a castle guy.
I am so excited
for whatever this challenge is
because it's castles.
Aw! Here we go.
( shoes squeaking )
oh, there he is!
Jamie.
All rise for
princess brickmaster amy
and your highness
lord william the great.
Hello, it is I,
william arnett the first,
your noble host here
at "masters of lego."
once upon a time,
twelve teams stood amongst us
vying for a king's ransom
of $100,000,
the title of lego masters,
the most regal lego trophy
in the world.
But we have since lost
eight teams to elimination
and I've since lost the desire
to do this accent.
Whew. Wow.
Man. Much better!
Hello, builders.
- Hey!
- What's going on?
Congratulations,
you're just one challenge away
from competing
in the big finale.
The story
of how you get there
will be an epic one,
and no epic story is complete
without a tremendous,
awe-inspiring,
breathtaking castle.
Now, we're not
going to determine
who moves on to the finals
based on which team
can build a castle
in the middle of a field.
No, no, no, no, no.
Only a true lego master
can succeed
in building a castle
on the edge of a cliff.
That's what
you're doing this week.
Take a look behind me
and you'll see four
giant vertical cliffs.
Your challenge is to tell
a daring story
centered around
a massive castle
as you build outward
as far out as you can.
And you have to do this
with nothing
but ten two-stud bricks
as your connection points.
Gravity is going to be
our enemy here more than ever.
We have one stud
of depth to connect onto.
That's a few millimeters
to support something
that has to go pretty far.
Is this even possible?
The build that stretches out
the farthest
will automatically
move onto the finals.
For the remaining three teams,
the brickmasters
will decide who joins them
based on aesthetics,
storytelling,
and technical expertise.
Brickmaster amy,
why don't you let the builders
know what they can expect
from this truly
off the wall challenge.
You are building on
the edge of a cliff,
so we want to see daring
and exciting architecture
in your castles.
And of course,
we will be judging you
on creativity, storytelling,
and technical ability combined.
Remember, the team that builds
the farthest from the cliff
automatically goes
to the finals.
- That's huge.
- Mark and steven,
caleb and jacob,
you guys have been rivals
so far this season.
What do you need to do
to beat your rivals?
It's time to out-castle
the castle brothers, I think.
- Wow.
- Bring it.
We started making castles.
That's literally
our stomping ground.
There is that
strength element though.
So three teams will move on
to next week's season finale.
One will not.
We're giving you guys
twelve hours
to build
your kingdom of bricks.
Give it everything you got
because it all
comes down to this.
Are you ready?
Get your brick on!
Wayne sprints like
a sprinter with his hands.
I got the back.
You steer, I'll push.
Okay. We're good.
Let's start
sketching this out.
We don't know how far everybody
is going to be building,
so pick a number.
- Mm, six feet.
- Okay, do six?
Six is really hard.
A castle build that has
to hang off a cliff
with only a few studs,
that thing right there
is going to fall apart
unless we get all
the weight of the castle
to focus on that one point.
Look at how much gray is there.
White would really
stand out on that.
- It would.
- Then we could have boxes,
like, up here,
and then little kids
playing in the boxes.
I was thinking about
playing with the idea
of it collapsing prematurely.
No. Look.
We have three of these.
The pin doesn't matter.
It just needs to be connected
to the other points,
otherwise they'll be
individual arms
that will break apart
when they're stressed.
We're not super confident
in our strength in most builds.
Feeling a little scared,
honestly.
We are now going
into a challenge
without that golden brick
security net keeping us safe.
- No, it's gone.
- You don't have to push it
all the way back.
You can push it forward
and have something
on the very back wall
connected to either
of the pieces.
You're not listening.
You're not thinking.
Those guys, they're shaking in
their boots over there.
So much is on the line.
Masters of brick,
that's you,
this season we've asked our
builders to build high,
to build strong, to build big.
- Yup.
- And now they need
to build outward
a ninety degree angle
just with ten two-stud bricks
to anchor it to the cliff.
They're just regular
lego bricks.
It's deceptive in that
it looks like a simple brick,
but this can be
amazingly strong.
I want to build a giant bracket
that goes right there.
We're not just asking our teams
to build long and strong.
We also want to see gorgeous
castles and fantastic stories.
- I mean, we are one episode
away from the finale.
- That's right.
- Dudes. Castle bros?
- Yes.
Finally get to be
in our element.
You guys are lego famous for
being the castle bros.
- That is true.
- Kind of, yeah.
In the beginning of our careers
in the lego community,
me and mark built almost
exclusively castles.
It was our favorite theme,
so that was what
we were known for.
And we when first started
getting into some more
competitive builds,
people kind of called us
the castle bros or,
"you're just castle builders."
and we really rose above that,
and then we kept that title
just for fun.
- What's the story?
- So, we're thinking
this is going to be
a huge door right here
leading out to a huge bridge.
We want to really give
something new and fresh.
So we decided
to add something inside
the castle coming out
instead of something
always attacking it.
We're going to have
this gem dragon
busting out of this gate,
chasing down a rogue miner
who is stealing
the prized jewel
that should not be touched.
How far out are you guys
hoping to build?
He wants two.
I want to go push more
to four, so we'll see.
So four would be
about here probably?
- No, that's a little short.
- I feel like three maybe.
- I would say right about--
- here? Is that four feet?
- Here. So we'll see.
- We'll see if that's doable.
We're not a 100% sure.
We really want to land
those aesthetics.
Do you think that yours
will be the longest?
- Maybe.
- You got some really
strong builders
- right next to us
- zack and wayne.
They could easily be
the longest one out.
I do know that they struggle
with aesthetics.
It's what has been
their achilles' heel.
- So don't skimp on that.
- It's gonna to look good.
- Aesthetics.
- It's going to be cool.
You guys are cool builders.
I'm looking forward to seeing
what you're going to do.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, will.
You see what
I'm trying to do, right?
I'm really trying to make sure
this is nice and secure.
This is actually
kind of strong, too.
I know castle bros might
have an advantage on us
when it comes to
aesthetics and whatnot.
But they'll never beat us
when it comes to sheer
structural strength.
We know how to build big.
We know what our strength is.
Is that all
it's connected to on top?
Oh, yeah, so we got
to be careful because
we're pushing the limits.
We know that whoever can build
the farthest out from the cliff
automatically is safe
from elimination
and goes straight
to the finals.
Building really far out
from just a couple bricks?
I can do that.
We're making heaven's castle,
a castle that's asian themed,
based off of our heritage.
Our castle is unique
in the fact that it's so far
away from the edge.
It's supposed to be
a final destination,
heavenly castle.
- Let's put two right there.
Lock it in.
- Okay, let's try that.
So right now,
kids all across america
might be gluing little
1x2 bricks onto the walls
so they can play along at home.
My brick tip
to those kids would be,
"hey, don't do that!"
but if you did need
to support something heavy
using lego pieces,
how would you do it?
Well, none of our builders
want their castle
to fall to the ground,
so many of them
are thinking about technic,
which is really strong,
but it's also squishy.
Those connectors
that connect technic
have a lot of movement.
So a way to fix it
and make it even stronger
is to use classic lego bricks
and just make
this little square.
Now these have nowhere to go.
So when you push down on that,
that is really strong.
- Thank you, jamie.
- You're welcome.
Now sing us out with
the brick tips theme song.
Oh, that old song.
♪ brick tips
- that's beautiful. Thanks.
- Really good.
This is getting strong.
Are we trying
to build the farthest?
Or do you think
we really focus in
on the storytelling
and aesthetic?
The storytelling.
I'm thinking, okay,
we've got mark and steven
who have built,
like, amazing castles.
Caleb and jacob who have
built amazing castles.
So it can't be like
a regular castle, because
we will for sure lose.
- Hello, michelle and natalie.
- Michelle and natalie.
- Are you excited
for this new challenge?
- Yes.
Oh, man.
The brothers are known
for their castles,
so, we're like-- ( gasps )
got to find something
different than that.
So we're thinking
we're going to do a castle
like a kid would make.
So our build is
a cardboard castle,
and we have elmer
with this telescope,
who's using his imagination
during a moving time.
He's using moving boxes
and using all
of the things around him
to play and create
his own world.
I love how you guys always,
like, play to your strengths.
You find the things
you're good at
and you twist the challenges
to suit them.
I think that's awesome.
Michelle:
I think our strengths,
we're moms,
so we see things
with a female eye.
We focus a lot on color.
Our builds,
they're child-like.
Now the tricky part
is you also have to
attach it to a wall.
- Yes.
- And I notice you're
the only ones
that don't have
anything on the wall yet.
We're just trying to build
some of the stuff here,
and then take it over.
We really want to see you
embrace the idea
of this challenge,
that you are trying
to push yourself out there.
We're going to leave you to it,
but, yeah, excited to see
how it comes together.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
All right, so this
is what I've got so far.
I'm thinking the castle
can mostly sit on these
- and then we can build
the bridge out further.
- Okay, so you want--
the most terrifying part
about this challenge is that
our bridge could fall over.
So why not make a bridge
that's falling over?
So we're going to build
a bridge that suspends out
from our castle.
Some fisherman pulls up
a fish that's way too big
and everything starts
collapsing around him.
We're going to build out
to a certain point.
Once they pass that point,
I don't want to see who can
build the longest one
because that could be
a disaster.
Yeah.
- Will!
- Caleb and jacob.
- Yeah!
- That's us.
So how are you feeling
about this challenge?
This is a crazy one.
- I'm a castle builder.
- Okay.
I know. There's a lot
of castle builders here.
But you're not
the castle bros.
- Not yet.
- Not yet!
Maybe you could
take their name if you win.
Maybe if you guys win,
you can be like,
"we're the castle bros now."
finale? Cool. Whatever.
But the castle bros title
is at stake this episode.
- That is crazy.
- That's big.
You could challenge them.
"put your nickname on the line."
- come on, guys.
- And then we'll have
another one right here.
- Oh, nice.
- Guys, sorry to interrupt.
- So sorry.
- Oh! Breaking news.
- Oh, dear.
Look who's back.
- Oh, my gosh.
We have a request,
or more of a demand to make.
- Wow! A demand!
- We're listening.
I'm-- this is so exciting.
- This challenge,
it's castles, right?
- Yeah.
- You guys,
you're the castle bros.
- This has been said.
I might have
to get in the middle
just in case
a donnybrook breaks out.
I want you to put
that title on the line.
- Ooh.
- What?
- What do you guys say?
- You want to put
the title on the line?
The castle bros title
on the line?
- That!
- If you lose,
they get to call you
the jester bros.
- Ooh.
- What do you think?
That's fair. The gauntlet
has been thrown down.
It has been thrown.
It's the second to last episode!
Of "lego masters" season two!
And the fight has just begun!
Welcome back to "lego masters."
the suspense is building.
Our builders are building.
Their builds are suspended
in the air,
and I need you to help me
make sense of all of this.
Amy: For this challenge,
our builders
are building castles.
- Yeah.
- But not just
regular castles.
They are building castles
off the side of a cliff.
Jamie: Yeah,
it's actually really hard.
They have a few
connection points that
they have to build out from,
so they have to
build really strong
and that's what we're going to
see with the teams today
is how are they
actually connecting it?
Are they using technic?
Are they using system bricks?
Are they just using gravity?
There's lots of ways
to attach to this,
but there's only a few very
strong ways to attach to it.
They also need an amazing story.
It's a cliffhanger.
So we got to make sure
that we're feeling it.
- Will:
Stakes are getting higher.
- Amy: Exactly.
This is an elimination
right before the finale.
Just knowing you're this close
must make you want to build
the best thing possible.
- Oh, we hope so. Yeah.
- A couple things we need to do.
I kind of want put--
black this out, here.
We're creating
an asian castle in the skies,
like, heavenly castle.
- Be careful,
because this is uneven.
- Yeah, I know. I know.
I don't know how much further
I'll willingly go out.
It really depends where
zack and wayne go.
1x6 technic brick.
- Is that strong?
- Yeah. Well...
- Make sure--
- it's gonna be taller, too.
We're gonna go out that way.
We have gone
for a more traditional
gem mine castle.
This castle is built
on the side of the cliff
and we're going to throw
a dragon in there.
We should be worrying
about the background here
being very strong.
I'm also going to put
a cave back there,
so if you look in--
just a layer of black,
I think, would work.
Not only are we facing
the main challenge,
we also have an
additional challenge.
Caleb and jacob are now
seeking to dethrone us
from our title
of the castle bros.
I am starting to feel
the pressure.
There's a lot of design
going into this thing.
This creation is
actually really big.
- Got a lot of
detail work to do.
- We do.
I'm going to be pressing
down a little bit.
Jacob:
Hopefully that part
can withstand presses.
If it can't, we got issues.
This is uncharted waters
for all of us.
This requires
a lot of strength,
to support something
that heavy that far out.
So, all those little
technic tricks we learned
throughout the competition
will be on display here.
Look at this. You guys
are really standing out
in the room right now.
Yeah, the bulk of our mass
is going to be back there
anyway, so hopefully--
we could probably go
a little further yet.
Which is good,
because we haven't added
the breaking off section yet.
Okay.
Now, just as a curiosity,
have you noticed the separation
happening from the wall?
Is that by design or
is that something that
is slowly creeping on you?
We know it's there.
It's definitely not by design.
I'm mindful of its existence.
- I think it's just good
to keep an eye on it.
- Yes.
Tell us about your plans.
What do you still want
to achieve in this build?
Obviously,
there is no castle.
We have a great base,
but I finished--
plated off
the base on the top here,
so I'm really excited to start
a proper castle on top.
You sound like you still have
a lot of things you want
to build on top of that.
- Jamie: Yeah.
Can't wait. Keep it up.
- Thank you so much.
- All right. Good luck, thanks.
- It's looking really good.
It wasn't so much on this side,
but these bottom bits...
How are you wanting
those to attach?
When we do it like this,
if we just had
the two or the four,
and then do the snap pieces on
the side to make the squares.
So, we know that we wanted
to do our cardboard castle.
I really love our idea,
but I'm also feeling
a bit stressed for time
trying to get the boxes built.
So, we're feeling the pressure
of needing to make sure
we have our story elements
and some time to tinker
with the length
because we don't know
how to build off of two bricks
on a wall extending out.
We're feeling the heat.
You're measuring it?
I was going to
measure yours, too.
- Wow, that's
a beautiful castle.
- It's on.
Are you going to
terminate it right here?
We're going to make it look
like the bridge is actually
breaking right here.
- So we're gonna tilt
down a little.
- Oh, that's a genius move.
- You guys are awesome
builders, you know that?
- Thank you.
- Four feet. Yeah.
- Theirs is four feet?
We triggered something by
measuring theirs, huh?
We're a little short.
We're not going to be
the longest one here,
- but we will hopefully be
a really good-looking one.
- Yeah.
The most difficult part about
this challenge is going to be
having something extend
from the wall.
We're thinking we're
going to have a telescope
come out of this box,
because what kid doesn't
want to be a pirate
and looking at something
far away from their castle?
That feels really on brand
with this story.
Okay. On this panel,
I know I need to cut off
for sure one row of studs.
But on this one
that's closest to the gray,
is it going to be able
to snap in there
or do I need
to do two less studs
- than what's on this plate?
- Two.
I got it. I got it.
Careful. Careful.
Now, how many we got here?
Fifty-what? 59. Okay.
Let's put it up there
real quick.
I want to see
how this looks.
There is a huge risk that
we're building too way far out
and then the castle
is just going to fall.
We're literally right there,
and if we make a single mistake,
our journey is over.
That's the end of the game.
And, you know,
we really can't afford that.
I'm going to cry if it falls.
Wayne: For this challenge,
we have to create a castle
that can go out
as far as you can from
the cliff right there.
We're making heaven's castle
that's reaching out
through the sky.
There is a huge risk that
we're building too far out
and then the castle
is just going to fall.
They're going way
on the edge there.
Look at that.
- Yeah.
- Okay. Leave it?
I'm going to cry if it falls.
So get to building
that black rim.
You don't think that
will make it too heavy?
Yeah, once we start
reinforcing this,
this will be nice and solid.
Dang.
Hello, zack and wayne.
- Amy: Hey.
- How's it going?
Wow, guys. This is quite
a structure you have.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Do you know if you're the
longest in the room so far?
It is a little bit
hard to tell, isn't it?
We're still unfinished
right here, so...
- Oh, so you still could go--
- you're going further?
- We could possibly.
- But the technical part is
only part of this challenge.
We also want an amazing castle,
and we want a great
cliffhanger story.
- Well, good luck, guys.
- All right.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Let's take it off.
Help me help you, there.
Putting a building as far
as possible away from the cliff
is an important detail.
Hold it.
We always want to go out strong,
but by that same token,
now what
is the story specifically
we're trying to tell?
- That's enough baskets.
- I know. One more
for the story.
- This one is going to
hold the roof.
- Oh, okay, okay.
I wonder if there's a way
to make it more kid-like.
Okay, I know we're really
in a time crunch here,
but I need
to ask caleb and jacob
and mark and steven,
- could you just come over
here for one second please?
- Uh-oh.
- I need to talk to you guys.
- What's going to happen?
The gauntlet was thrown down,
and you agreed
that if they beat you,
that they could have
the moniker of castle bros.
- Mark: This is true.
- We want to make if official.
- Oh, yeah.
- Get it signed in a document.
Sir jamie, could I have
your assistance, please?
( fanfare )
- oh, my word.
- There he is.
- He's back.
- Oh, my word.
- Tremendous.
- ( squeaking )
oh, boy.
Oh, the chaffing that
must be going on.
Thank you, sir jamie.
May I have the official scroll?
- Jamie: You may.
- Oh, my.
- Please take the pen.
- Yep.
- Caleb, if you would?
- This is serious, man.
This is a binding contract.
Guard this closely!
- Thank you.
- Sir jamie, thank you.
( squeaking )
- your services are
no longer required here.
- Thank you, sir.
- You may exit.
- ( squeaking )
- all right. It's official.
- Wow.
- Get back to it.
- Man, that happened.
We don't have
a lot of time left.
- Zack and wayne.
- Hey, how you doing?
- How's it going?
- Wow.
All I can say is wow.
Now, how do you feel
about your castle?
This is kind of like the castle
that connects you to heaven.
One of my friends,
he always would say,
"wayne, one of these days,
we're gonna ride off
into the sunset together."
but, you know, looks like
he ran off before I did, so...
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
This is kind of
like an homage to him?
- Kind of in his memory?
- In a way.
Yeah.
My brother was very
accommodating of me
to be able to pay
homage to my friend
who passed away from cancer.
He was a very
dear friend of mine
who I've known for 15 years.
And, you know,
that guy right there,
I can claim that
I learned a lot from him.
He always told me, you know,
reach out as far
as you possibly can,
because you just never know if
you're going to have tomorrow.
So, that's kind of the theme
we went for right here.
Will: Yeah, that's true.
It's a great way to look at it.
That's a pretty great
approach to life.
And it's nice that you're
able to kind of bring that
philosophy to this build
and personalize it
in this way.
I'm pulling for you guys.
Great job.
- Appreciate it.
- Wow.
I don't profess to know
what happens in the next life,
but it's always been
a saying for us,
it's never really good-bye.
It's till we meet again.
This build, it lets me
make my peace with my friend.
- Does this look like water?
- Yeah. It's cute.
So far in this competition,
the weeks that
we've done really well,
I think we've leaned on our
strengths with storytelling.
So, a cardboard box castle?
That has story
written all over it.
But we have to have this box,
or something in our build,
come out farther.
This is proving to be
really difficult
to attach it on
while it's...
- On the thing? I know.
- Mm-hmm.
We're going to have
a telescope come out
of this box
that'll give us
some more length.
We'll use some technic bricks
with some axels and pins,
and maybe shoot it out
that way.
But we also don't
know technic very well.
- It's a whole situation here.
- Yeah.
The telescope is not
coming together well.
It's breaking.
After tinkering with it
for awhile,
I'm feeling super frustrated,
because I know this is
an important part of our build.
It won't work like that.
It's going to break our box.
This is our last chance
to get into the finale, so...
Like, none of these
are even sticking together,
so it's going
to start breaking apart.
Oh, my gosh.
For this week's challenge,
our teams are building castles,
which is the super classic
lego theme.
But of course,
they're not just
building any castles.
They are building castles
on the side of a cliff.
They have ten
two-stud connection points.
That's twenty lego studs,
and that is all that's going to
be holding them to the cliff.
So this is an extremely
tough technical challenge.
This is not staying together
right here even,
to, like, lean anything on.
The telescope is not
coming together well.
It won't work like that.
It's going to break our box.
Let's take it off and see
if we can make it work here.
Michelle's like,
let's just simplify the technic
and shorten the telescope,
because we've got to try
to make it smaller.
No, not that one.
( groans )
I hope this comes together.
Down here is hideous.
If there's any way
we can clean that up--
- I'll try and fix it.
- They will penalize us
for that, I know it.
Top three teams
from this episode
move on to the finale
and get play for $100,000,
the title of lego masters,
and get the big trophy.
This is it.
This is their do or die
moment right now.
- Oh, yeah.
- It's nerve-wracking, though.
It's a cliffhanger for us
as much as we're asking them
to build a cliffhanger.
- All right.
- If there is still time,
I will do all
the detail-y stuff.
How are you doing
with the details?
I'm going to get these
detailed just a tiny bit,
and then we're
pretty good to go.
- Zack, roof done.
- Jeez.
- Start grabbing panels here.
- One hour left!
- Whoa!
- ( gasping )
this is the last time
I'm going to yell,
"one hour left,"
before the finale.
You hear that, zack? One hour.
I'm going to miss this.
Yelling and stuff, you know?
I wish you could hear me,
but, alas, I'm on an island.
Am I on an island?
No, I'm on a balcony.
I feel like this is important.
Kind of ties it all together.
This build ultimately
determines whether or not
we go onto the finale.
We have a really
fun story to tell,
and to bring it to life,
we need to make sure all
these details fall into place.
Jacob: So many things,
so little time.
I'm going to go
grab more figs.
- This is the gem dragon.
- I think one arm would
really sell the deal.
To hold it up or
an arm that's grabbing out?
Just kind of like this.
Oh, wow. That looks amazing.
We're very fond of
chinese architecture.
Those structures have lasted for
literally thousands of years.
( groans )
we want to capture that spirit
on the castle itself
which we want to make
look really detailed.
- I want this more dense.
- I know. I know.
- That's what
I'm doing right now.
- Okay.
Okay, I ain't touching
that anymore.
- One minute left!
- Whoo!
One minute.
Do we need some
support under there?
Faster. Faster.
- Can you make them higher up?
- Careful.
Don't press down too hard.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up! Bricks down.
Look at those castles!
Mark:
It's so close this time.
In many challenges,
we felt we've had an edge
or we felt like
we were really at risk.
In this case,
it's just so hard to tell.
All the castles on the cliff
are so unique and so different
that it's almost hard
to compare them.
That was stressful.
I feel really good
about our build.
I look around the room
and I know
it's totally different
than everybody else.
I'm just hoping
that our storytelling
and the concept
is strong enough
to carry us through
even though our telescope
doesn't come out as far
as the other castles.
I'm happy with that.
Jacob and I are so happy
with how our build turned out,
but these builders
are so talented.
I don't feel completely safe.
Wow.
We built something here.
This is good enough
for greg, right?
- This is good enough for greg.
- Good enough, dude?
It's outstanding.
Mark and steven,
you're the castle bros.
Why don't you tell the story
of your far-out build?
This is our gem mine castle,
and this the gem dragon
busting out of this gate,
chasing down a rogue miner
who is stealing
the prized jewel.
The jewel that
must not be touched.
The dragon, she's going to
hopefully save it
before it goes
off the edge into the ocean.
The shape of the castle,
we wanted to put more weight
at the back,
and then gradually step down
as you go towards
the edge of the castle.
Because if everything's
on the end,
we would have
a challenge keeping that up.
Strength isn't
really our forte,
but we really like
to build castles,
and this was
an amazing challenge
to build it on
a cliffside like this.
This is such a refreshing build
to see come from you guys,
because it is so imaginative.
You guys have all along
kind of shown us
your building skills,
but often going to
a very realistic approach.
This is almost like
a cloud floating in the sky.
You used really
nice building techniques
like this little border.
It ties in with your
larger structures,
but then actually
scales accordingly.
I love the storybook style
that you've gone for with
the little king on the top.
But for me,
this dragon, the first thing
I think is wings.
If you just had a little hint
of those wings bursting
out of the castle,
you could've had an even more
dramatic story moment.
- Mm-hmm.
- There's a lot at stake.
You don't want to go out on
the thing that you're known for.
With all that big talk
about castle bros,
we could've set ourselves up
for a big fall.
Mark and steven, great job.
Mark and steven, of course,
have another great build.
It's a little intimidating.
But if we win best castle, we
take their title of castle bros,
and secure our spot
in the finale.
- The pressure is on.
- Caleb and jacob.
Hit us with
your cliffhanger story.
This is the jousting final
at the seaside sanctuary,
and it's looking to be
a pretty exciting match.
However, things seem
to be taking a turn.
Some crazy dude was fishing
on the end
of the jousting pier.
The catch
was just heavy enough
to start bringing
the whole thing down.
What's going to happen?
Is sir bob finally
going to get the win?
Is the whole thing going
to come crashing down?
Will that guy catch that fish?
And will it taste good?
I'm just so happy when
I see this model.
It's fun and beautiful.
Your castle is really striking.
You've got gorgeous
colors for it.
This roof work
is just really nice.
The fact that you
supported all of this weight
and came out
as far as you did,
and then were still playful
to have a dip at the bottom,
it's an accomplishment
of engineering.
And your whole build is
connected by this many bricks.
Fantastic work.
You should be very proud.
Thank you.
- Michelle and natalie. Hi!
- Hello!
As a mom, I love when
we can make our builds
look child-friendly.
I love that.
That's kind of like
my favorite thing.
So, tell us about
your cardboard castle.
So our character is elmer,
and he has
a wonderful imagination.
His family is moving,
and his parents are starting
to pack up his room
and so he takes some of
the cardboard boxes
and creates a magical
castle world for himself.
So, brickmasters,
what do you think?
You guys looked
a little bit nervous when
you saw the challenge,
but then you dug deep
and you thought,
"what are our superpowers?"
and that is imagination.
But you also went
into the mind of a kid,
which is something
we always do at lego,
so I think that was just
a great starting point.
I think people may not
realize how hard it is
to do drawings
with lego bricks.
It's actually quite hard to do,
so I like that
you took that risk.
You tried something new.
Amy: You've even got
the marker pen right beside it
to help link that story.
I just wish that your telescope
could've come out a bit more,
and I know you tried and
the weight got to be a bit much.
But it just, again, reminds us
all how hard it is to do,
but really great that you were
able to support these boxes
without any technic.
- Great job.
- Thank you.
It's just really exciting
to hear them say such
nice things about it
because I know I love it.
And to just know that
somebody else loves our art,
- it's super encouraging.
- Hello there, zack and wayne.
Tell us the story
of your far out kingdom.
We built a castle
that's asian-themed
based off of our heritage,
and it's homage to my friend
who passed away from cancer.
My friend loved motorcycles.
I have to remember,
I have to thank him
for a lot right there.
But, you know, he rode off
into the sunset before me.
Amy:
It's such a brilliant tribute
you have to your friend.
I'm sure that he would be
super proud that you've built
this for him today,
and what a fantastic
build it is.
Not only have you gone
so far out from the wall
and shown us your
technical skill,
but you've actually built your
castle right in the middle.
I like that you've used
the details on the roof.
Not only did
you bring that out,
but you also
created a stunning piece
of engineering.
The only thing I would say is,
you have so many studs
on the side.
I can't help but
see opportunities to attach
things to those studs.
- But you should be very proud.
- Thank you.
I feel like we've taken
every single challenge
with every bit
of our being as we could.
Zack: Everybody's taking
this competition seriously.
Everybody wants
the title lego master.
We want that, too.
For eleven weeks,
you've built your hearts out
and wowed us with
mind-boggling builds.
You have a lot to be proud of.
Three teams will move on
to next week's finale,
where they'll be
competing for $100,000,
a one of a kind lego trophy,
and the title of lego masters.
One team will not.
For twelve hours,
you've designed a sprawling
world off the edge of a cliff
held only by nothing more
than ten two stud bricks.
We measured just how far out
each build stretched
from the wall
because the team
with the longest build
automatically advances
to compete
in the season finale.
So, the first team to move on,
with a kingdom
that stretched out
a whopping six feet is...
Zack and wayne.
Congratulations,
zack and wayne.
You are moving on
to the finale.
It feels great, you know?
It's like--
thank you so much for
allowing us to move on.
We had not recreated our magic
since the first challenge.
We've always been hovering,
but it's like we finally
proved our point
right there, saying,
"hey, we didn't come
here just to participate.
We came here to win."
now we can say, like,
"hey, zack, did you know
we're in the finals?"
- we're in the finals.
- ( laughing )
- congratulations.
- Thank you. Thank you.
The real question
is who will join you?
The brickmasters have to make
their toughest decision yet.
Who is moving on to compete
in the season two finale?
We'll find out after this.
How's that for a cliffhanger?
The brickmasters have to make
their toughest decision yet.
Who is moving on to compete
in the season two finale?
- Two spots remain.
- Zack and wayne,
they pulled it off.
They're the longest build here.
They really played to their
strengths and it paid off.
Mark: Looking at the other
two builds that we're facing
in this judging,
I am not sure where we're at.
It's really unsettling to not
have that kind of confidence.
Brickmasters,
who designed your favorite
cliffhanger build this week?
The team that built
quite possibly
the most impressive build
we've seen this
entire competition...
...Is caleb and jacob.
Congratulations.
Caleb and jacob,
you are the brickmasters'
favorite build
and you are in the finale.
I'm so excited.
Now we're walking out of here
with the title
of castle brothers.
What a day. What a day.
Congratulations,
caleb and jacob. It's awesome.
Thank you.
All right, mark and steven,
michelle and natalie,
please step forward.
Okay, brickmasters,
it all comes down to this.
Which team is joining
zack and wayne
and caleb and jacob
in the finale?
I am not lying in saying
that this has been
a really tough decision
because you guys have given us
four absolutely incredible
cliffhanger builds today.
There was one
fantastical fantasy build
that was larger than life,
that just edged above
the other one.
And that was mark and steven.
- Good job, guys.
- Mark and steven,
congratulations.
You're on to the finale.
Michelle and natalie,
I'm so sorry.
You have wowed us time
and time again this season.
You have so many fans
in this room.
You guys have delivered some
of the most creative
and imaginative builds,
and I absolutely loved seeing
you get better and better
throughout this competition.
Yeah, you guys have
such an incredible gift,
and that is imagination.
And it's something
that's really special,
and it's really hard to find.
And you should be so proud
of where you've come to
in this competition.
Can I take a second
to tell you something
really quick?
My five year old daughter,
when she saw
"lego masters" last season,
and she saw you, amy,
she goes,
"I can work at lego, too,
because there's a girl
that works at lego."
and I think
it's really important
that you have the position
that you do
to inspire lots of kids,
but especially little girls
that see somebody
that's like them
doing something
amazing and fun.
So, thank you for
inspiring lots of kids.
- Thanks for sharing that.
- Yeah.
And I think you girls
are certainly going to inspire
so many more girls
all over the usa
with your awesome creations.
It's going to be hard
to see you go,
but also, natalie,
I'll probably see you
here next year.
You're going to be
standing in my spot.
I got to come to terms
with that a little bit.
But truly, you guys, you really
have just brought so much,
and we're so lucky to have
had you here on lego masters.
But sadly it has
to come to an end.
Please turn in your
minifigs and say good-bye.
- Thank you.
- Bye, guys.
- Congratulations, guys.
- So good.
- Huddle.
- It's going to be
a brother battle!
Last season,
I'm just watching this show,
like, imagining,
"oh, my gosh,
what would I do
in that situation?
What would I do
in that situation?
I can't even wrap
my head around it."
and now we're here
and we did it.
I'm so proud of us.
- Thank you for bringing
me on this journey.
- Thank you for coming.
Gosh, you really
want me to cry.
Zack and wayne,
the castle bros,
and the new castle bros,
you did it.
Jacob:
Never did we ever think
we would get this far.
We're going to the finale with
two other teams of brothers
and with our new title
of castle bros.
We are feeling great.
- I can't believe it.
We're in the finals.
- We're in the finals.
You have three sets of brothers,
but three very different teams.
You have strength
and engineering,
you have design
and wild concepts,
and then you have aesthetics
and story, which is us.
It's the ultimate game
of rock paper scissors.
I'll see you all back here
next week for the finale.
Now go hit the bricks.
Next week...
You've earned an invitation
to lego's biggest
night of the year.
After an epic season
of wild competitions
- and thrilling creations...
- Yeah!
...It all comes down to this.
- We are in the finale!
- Whoo!
- The final battle.
- "lego masters" finale!
Amy: You can build
whatever you want.
But whatever you build
should present itself one way
when the lights are on,
and something unexpected
when the lights go off.
Who will win the ultimate
title of lego masters
and the $100,000 grand prize?
Jamie: Our winning team of
"lego masters" season two is...
"lego masters"...
We blew the sleeves
off this joint...
- Whoo!
- Wow!
...With our most extreme
episode ever.
Extreme high fives!
The builders
flipped their blocks...
It's the worst build
in the room.
...While the brickmasters
flipped over mark and steven.
What a fun
and spiffy renovation.
A bevy of brothers
found themselves on
the brink of elimination...
I would've loved to see
a little bit more detail
in your buildings.
A little bit basic in
its construction technique.
...But in the end,
the siblings were safe.
No one was sent home.
You are all safe.
So next week, we just
have to bring it again.
- But tonight...
- Yeah!
All rise.
...One team
will be eliminated.
Don't blame me. Blame fox.
I don't want
to eliminate anybody.
Build a massive castle
on the edge of a cliff.
Is this even possible?
A trip to the finale hangs
in the balance...
The build that
stretches out the farthest
will automatically
move on to the finals.
- You're measuring it?
- Are we trying
to build the farthest?
...With the craziest
cliffhanger in tv history.
I'm going to cry if it falls.
Who will get
the keys to the kingdom
and find themselves
one step closer
to $100,000 and the title
of lego masters?
The fight has just begun!
Man on pa:
Stand by everybody.
Quiet please.
We are rolling.
Yeah!
- Whoo!
- Castles!
- Castles, yes!
- Oh, yes!
Please be what I think it is.
- It's like-- exactly.
- There's a lot of
medieval vibes going on.
- One of our favorite themes
to build in is castles.
- Oh, boy.
We're basically known
as the castle bros.
- The castle brothers
are so excited.
- I'm terrified.
I have been waiting this
whole time to build a castle,
because I am a castle guy.
I am so excited
for whatever this challenge is
because it's castles.
Aw! Here we go.
( shoes squeaking )
oh, there he is!
Jamie.
All rise for
princess brickmaster amy
and your highness
lord william the great.
Hello, it is I,
william arnett the first,
your noble host here
at "masters of lego."
once upon a time,
twelve teams stood amongst us
vying for a king's ransom
of $100,000,
the title of lego masters,
the most regal lego trophy
in the world.
But we have since lost
eight teams to elimination
and I've since lost the desire
to do this accent.
Whew. Wow.
Man. Much better!
Hello, builders.
- Hey!
- What's going on?
Congratulations,
you're just one challenge away
from competing
in the big finale.
The story
of how you get there
will be an epic one,
and no epic story is complete
without a tremendous,
awe-inspiring,
breathtaking castle.
Now, we're not
going to determine
who moves on to the finals
based on which team
can build a castle
in the middle of a field.
No, no, no, no, no.
Only a true lego master
can succeed
in building a castle
on the edge of a cliff.
That's what
you're doing this week.
Take a look behind me
and you'll see four
giant vertical cliffs.
Your challenge is to tell
a daring story
centered around
a massive castle
as you build outward
as far out as you can.
And you have to do this
with nothing
but ten two-stud bricks
as your connection points.
Gravity is going to be
our enemy here more than ever.
We have one stud
of depth to connect onto.
That's a few millimeters
to support something
that has to go pretty far.
Is this even possible?
The build that stretches out
the farthest
will automatically
move onto the finals.
For the remaining three teams,
the brickmasters
will decide who joins them
based on aesthetics,
storytelling,
and technical expertise.
Brickmaster amy,
why don't you let the builders
know what they can expect
from this truly
off the wall challenge.
You are building on
the edge of a cliff,
so we want to see daring
and exciting architecture
in your castles.
And of course,
we will be judging you
on creativity, storytelling,
and technical ability combined.
Remember, the team that builds
the farthest from the cliff
automatically goes
to the finals.
- That's huge.
- Mark and steven,
caleb and jacob,
you guys have been rivals
so far this season.
What do you need to do
to beat your rivals?
It's time to out-castle
the castle brothers, I think.
- Wow.
- Bring it.
We started making castles.
That's literally
our stomping ground.
There is that
strength element though.
So three teams will move on
to next week's season finale.
One will not.
We're giving you guys
twelve hours
to build
your kingdom of bricks.
Give it everything you got
because it all
comes down to this.
Are you ready?
Get your brick on!
Wayne sprints like
a sprinter with his hands.
I got the back.
You steer, I'll push.
Okay. We're good.
Let's start
sketching this out.
We don't know how far everybody
is going to be building,
so pick a number.
- Mm, six feet.
- Okay, do six?
Six is really hard.
A castle build that has
to hang off a cliff
with only a few studs,
that thing right there
is going to fall apart
unless we get all
the weight of the castle
to focus on that one point.
Look at how much gray is there.
White would really
stand out on that.
- It would.
- Then we could have boxes,
like, up here,
and then little kids
playing in the boxes.
I was thinking about
playing with the idea
of it collapsing prematurely.
No. Look.
We have three of these.
The pin doesn't matter.
It just needs to be connected
to the other points,
otherwise they'll be
individual arms
that will break apart
when they're stressed.
We're not super confident
in our strength in most builds.
Feeling a little scared,
honestly.
We are now going
into a challenge
without that golden brick
security net keeping us safe.
- No, it's gone.
- You don't have to push it
all the way back.
You can push it forward
and have something
on the very back wall
connected to either
of the pieces.
You're not listening.
You're not thinking.
Those guys, they're shaking in
their boots over there.
So much is on the line.
Masters of brick,
that's you,
this season we've asked our
builders to build high,
to build strong, to build big.
- Yup.
- And now they need
to build outward
a ninety degree angle
just with ten two-stud bricks
to anchor it to the cliff.
They're just regular
lego bricks.
It's deceptive in that
it looks like a simple brick,
but this can be
amazingly strong.
I want to build a giant bracket
that goes right there.
We're not just asking our teams
to build long and strong.
We also want to see gorgeous
castles and fantastic stories.
- I mean, we are one episode
away from the finale.
- That's right.
- Dudes. Castle bros?
- Yes.
Finally get to be
in our element.
You guys are lego famous for
being the castle bros.
- That is true.
- Kind of, yeah.
In the beginning of our careers
in the lego community,
me and mark built almost
exclusively castles.
It was our favorite theme,
so that was what
we were known for.
And we when first started
getting into some more
competitive builds,
people kind of called us
the castle bros or,
"you're just castle builders."
and we really rose above that,
and then we kept that title
just for fun.
- What's the story?
- So, we're thinking
this is going to be
a huge door right here
leading out to a huge bridge.
We want to really give
something new and fresh.
So we decided
to add something inside
the castle coming out
instead of something
always attacking it.
We're going to have
this gem dragon
busting out of this gate,
chasing down a rogue miner
who is stealing
the prized jewel
that should not be touched.
How far out are you guys
hoping to build?
He wants two.
I want to go push more
to four, so we'll see.
So four would be
about here probably?
- No, that's a little short.
- I feel like three maybe.
- I would say right about--
- here? Is that four feet?
- Here. So we'll see.
- We'll see if that's doable.
We're not a 100% sure.
We really want to land
those aesthetics.
Do you think that yours
will be the longest?
- Maybe.
- You got some really
strong builders
- right next to us
- zack and wayne.
They could easily be
the longest one out.
I do know that they struggle
with aesthetics.
It's what has been
their achilles' heel.
- So don't skimp on that.
- It's gonna to look good.
- Aesthetics.
- It's going to be cool.
You guys are cool builders.
I'm looking forward to seeing
what you're going to do.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, will.
You see what
I'm trying to do, right?
I'm really trying to make sure
this is nice and secure.
This is actually
kind of strong, too.
I know castle bros might
have an advantage on us
when it comes to
aesthetics and whatnot.
But they'll never beat us
when it comes to sheer
structural strength.
We know how to build big.
We know what our strength is.
Is that all
it's connected to on top?
Oh, yeah, so we got
to be careful because
we're pushing the limits.
We know that whoever can build
the farthest out from the cliff
automatically is safe
from elimination
and goes straight
to the finals.
Building really far out
from just a couple bricks?
I can do that.
We're making heaven's castle,
a castle that's asian themed,
based off of our heritage.
Our castle is unique
in the fact that it's so far
away from the edge.
It's supposed to be
a final destination,
heavenly castle.
- Let's put two right there.
Lock it in.
- Okay, let's try that.
So right now,
kids all across america
might be gluing little
1x2 bricks onto the walls
so they can play along at home.
My brick tip
to those kids would be,
"hey, don't do that!"
but if you did need
to support something heavy
using lego pieces,
how would you do it?
Well, none of our builders
want their castle
to fall to the ground,
so many of them
are thinking about technic,
which is really strong,
but it's also squishy.
Those connectors
that connect technic
have a lot of movement.
So a way to fix it
and make it even stronger
is to use classic lego bricks
and just make
this little square.
Now these have nowhere to go.
So when you push down on that,
that is really strong.
- Thank you, jamie.
- You're welcome.
Now sing us out with
the brick tips theme song.
Oh, that old song.
♪ brick tips
- that's beautiful. Thanks.
- Really good.
This is getting strong.
Are we trying
to build the farthest?
Or do you think
we really focus in
on the storytelling
and aesthetic?
The storytelling.
I'm thinking, okay,
we've got mark and steven
who have built,
like, amazing castles.
Caleb and jacob who have
built amazing castles.
So it can't be like
a regular castle, because
we will for sure lose.
- Hello, michelle and natalie.
- Michelle and natalie.
- Are you excited
for this new challenge?
- Yes.
Oh, man.
The brothers are known
for their castles,
so, we're like-- ( gasps )
got to find something
different than that.
So we're thinking
we're going to do a castle
like a kid would make.
So our build is
a cardboard castle,
and we have elmer
with this telescope,
who's using his imagination
during a moving time.
He's using moving boxes
and using all
of the things around him
to play and create
his own world.
I love how you guys always,
like, play to your strengths.
You find the things
you're good at
and you twist the challenges
to suit them.
I think that's awesome.
Michelle:
I think our strengths,
we're moms,
so we see things
with a female eye.
We focus a lot on color.
Our builds,
they're child-like.
Now the tricky part
is you also have to
attach it to a wall.
- Yes.
- And I notice you're
the only ones
that don't have
anything on the wall yet.
We're just trying to build
some of the stuff here,
and then take it over.
We really want to see you
embrace the idea
of this challenge,
that you are trying
to push yourself out there.
We're going to leave you to it,
but, yeah, excited to see
how it comes together.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
All right, so this
is what I've got so far.
I'm thinking the castle
can mostly sit on these
- and then we can build
the bridge out further.
- Okay, so you want--
the most terrifying part
about this challenge is that
our bridge could fall over.
So why not make a bridge
that's falling over?
So we're going to build
a bridge that suspends out
from our castle.
Some fisherman pulls up
a fish that's way too big
and everything starts
collapsing around him.
We're going to build out
to a certain point.
Once they pass that point,
I don't want to see who can
build the longest one
because that could be
a disaster.
Yeah.
- Will!
- Caleb and jacob.
- Yeah!
- That's us.
So how are you feeling
about this challenge?
This is a crazy one.
- I'm a castle builder.
- Okay.
I know. There's a lot
of castle builders here.
But you're not
the castle bros.
- Not yet.
- Not yet!
Maybe you could
take their name if you win.
Maybe if you guys win,
you can be like,
"we're the castle bros now."
finale? Cool. Whatever.
But the castle bros title
is at stake this episode.
- That is crazy.
- That's big.
You could challenge them.
"put your nickname on the line."
- come on, guys.
- And then we'll have
another one right here.
- Oh, nice.
- Guys, sorry to interrupt.
- So sorry.
- Oh! Breaking news.
- Oh, dear.
Look who's back.
- Oh, my gosh.
We have a request,
or more of a demand to make.
- Wow! A demand!
- We're listening.
I'm-- this is so exciting.
- This challenge,
it's castles, right?
- Yeah.
- You guys,
you're the castle bros.
- This has been said.
I might have
to get in the middle
just in case
a donnybrook breaks out.
I want you to put
that title on the line.
- Ooh.
- What?
- What do you guys say?
- You want to put
the title on the line?
The castle bros title
on the line?
- That!
- If you lose,
they get to call you
the jester bros.
- Ooh.
- What do you think?
That's fair. The gauntlet
has been thrown down.
It has been thrown.
It's the second to last episode!
Of "lego masters" season two!
And the fight has just begun!
Welcome back to "lego masters."
the suspense is building.
Our builders are building.
Their builds are suspended
in the air,
and I need you to help me
make sense of all of this.
Amy: For this challenge,
our builders
are building castles.
- Yeah.
- But not just
regular castles.
They are building castles
off the side of a cliff.
Jamie: Yeah,
it's actually really hard.
They have a few
connection points that
they have to build out from,
so they have to
build really strong
and that's what we're going to
see with the teams today
is how are they
actually connecting it?
Are they using technic?
Are they using system bricks?
Are they just using gravity?
There's lots of ways
to attach to this,
but there's only a few very
strong ways to attach to it.
They also need an amazing story.
It's a cliffhanger.
So we got to make sure
that we're feeling it.
- Will:
Stakes are getting higher.
- Amy: Exactly.
This is an elimination
right before the finale.
Just knowing you're this close
must make you want to build
the best thing possible.
- Oh, we hope so. Yeah.
- A couple things we need to do.
I kind of want put--
black this out, here.
We're creating
an asian castle in the skies,
like, heavenly castle.
- Be careful,
because this is uneven.
- Yeah, I know. I know.
I don't know how much further
I'll willingly go out.
It really depends where
zack and wayne go.
1x6 technic brick.
- Is that strong?
- Yeah. Well...
- Make sure--
- it's gonna be taller, too.
We're gonna go out that way.
We have gone
for a more traditional
gem mine castle.
This castle is built
on the side of the cliff
and we're going to throw
a dragon in there.
We should be worrying
about the background here
being very strong.
I'm also going to put
a cave back there,
so if you look in--
just a layer of black,
I think, would work.
Not only are we facing
the main challenge,
we also have an
additional challenge.
Caleb and jacob are now
seeking to dethrone us
from our title
of the castle bros.
I am starting to feel
the pressure.
There's a lot of design
going into this thing.
This creation is
actually really big.
- Got a lot of
detail work to do.
- We do.
I'm going to be pressing
down a little bit.
Jacob:
Hopefully that part
can withstand presses.
If it can't, we got issues.
This is uncharted waters
for all of us.
This requires
a lot of strength,
to support something
that heavy that far out.
So, all those little
technic tricks we learned
throughout the competition
will be on display here.
Look at this. You guys
are really standing out
in the room right now.
Yeah, the bulk of our mass
is going to be back there
anyway, so hopefully--
we could probably go
a little further yet.
Which is good,
because we haven't added
the breaking off section yet.
Okay.
Now, just as a curiosity,
have you noticed the separation
happening from the wall?
Is that by design or
is that something that
is slowly creeping on you?
We know it's there.
It's definitely not by design.
I'm mindful of its existence.
- I think it's just good
to keep an eye on it.
- Yes.
Tell us about your plans.
What do you still want
to achieve in this build?
Obviously,
there is no castle.
We have a great base,
but I finished--
plated off
the base on the top here,
so I'm really excited to start
a proper castle on top.
You sound like you still have
a lot of things you want
to build on top of that.
- Jamie: Yeah.
Can't wait. Keep it up.
- Thank you so much.
- All right. Good luck, thanks.
- It's looking really good.
It wasn't so much on this side,
but these bottom bits...
How are you wanting
those to attach?
When we do it like this,
if we just had
the two or the four,
and then do the snap pieces on
the side to make the squares.
So, we know that we wanted
to do our cardboard castle.
I really love our idea,
but I'm also feeling
a bit stressed for time
trying to get the boxes built.
So, we're feeling the pressure
of needing to make sure
we have our story elements
and some time to tinker
with the length
because we don't know
how to build off of two bricks
on a wall extending out.
We're feeling the heat.
You're measuring it?
I was going to
measure yours, too.
- Wow, that's
a beautiful castle.
- It's on.
Are you going to
terminate it right here?
We're going to make it look
like the bridge is actually
breaking right here.
- So we're gonna tilt
down a little.
- Oh, that's a genius move.
- You guys are awesome
builders, you know that?
- Thank you.
- Four feet. Yeah.
- Theirs is four feet?
We triggered something by
measuring theirs, huh?
We're a little short.
We're not going to be
the longest one here,
- but we will hopefully be
a really good-looking one.
- Yeah.
The most difficult part about
this challenge is going to be
having something extend
from the wall.
We're thinking we're
going to have a telescope
come out of this box,
because what kid doesn't
want to be a pirate
and looking at something
far away from their castle?
That feels really on brand
with this story.
Okay. On this panel,
I know I need to cut off
for sure one row of studs.
But on this one
that's closest to the gray,
is it going to be able
to snap in there
or do I need
to do two less studs
- than what's on this plate?
- Two.
I got it. I got it.
Careful. Careful.
Now, how many we got here?
Fifty-what? 59. Okay.
Let's put it up there
real quick.
I want to see
how this looks.
There is a huge risk that
we're building too way far out
and then the castle
is just going to fall.
We're literally right there,
and if we make a single mistake,
our journey is over.
That's the end of the game.
And, you know,
we really can't afford that.
I'm going to cry if it falls.
Wayne: For this challenge,
we have to create a castle
that can go out
as far as you can from
the cliff right there.
We're making heaven's castle
that's reaching out
through the sky.
There is a huge risk that
we're building too far out
and then the castle
is just going to fall.
They're going way
on the edge there.
Look at that.
- Yeah.
- Okay. Leave it?
I'm going to cry if it falls.
So get to building
that black rim.
You don't think that
will make it too heavy?
Yeah, once we start
reinforcing this,
this will be nice and solid.
Dang.
Hello, zack and wayne.
- Amy: Hey.
- How's it going?
Wow, guys. This is quite
a structure you have.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Do you know if you're the
longest in the room so far?
It is a little bit
hard to tell, isn't it?
We're still unfinished
right here, so...
- Oh, so you still could go--
- you're going further?
- We could possibly.
- But the technical part is
only part of this challenge.
We also want an amazing castle,
and we want a great
cliffhanger story.
- Well, good luck, guys.
- All right.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Let's take it off.
Help me help you, there.
Putting a building as far
as possible away from the cliff
is an important detail.
Hold it.
We always want to go out strong,
but by that same token,
now what
is the story specifically
we're trying to tell?
- That's enough baskets.
- I know. One more
for the story.
- This one is going to
hold the roof.
- Oh, okay, okay.
I wonder if there's a way
to make it more kid-like.
Okay, I know we're really
in a time crunch here,
but I need
to ask caleb and jacob
and mark and steven,
- could you just come over
here for one second please?
- Uh-oh.
- I need to talk to you guys.
- What's going to happen?
The gauntlet was thrown down,
and you agreed
that if they beat you,
that they could have
the moniker of castle bros.
- Mark: This is true.
- We want to make if official.
- Oh, yeah.
- Get it signed in a document.
Sir jamie, could I have
your assistance, please?
( fanfare )
- oh, my word.
- There he is.
- He's back.
- Oh, my word.
- Tremendous.
- ( squeaking )
oh, boy.
Oh, the chaffing that
must be going on.
Thank you, sir jamie.
May I have the official scroll?
- Jamie: You may.
- Oh, my.
- Please take the pen.
- Yep.
- Caleb, if you would?
- This is serious, man.
This is a binding contract.
Guard this closely!
- Thank you.
- Sir jamie, thank you.
( squeaking )
- your services are
no longer required here.
- Thank you, sir.
- You may exit.
- ( squeaking )
- all right. It's official.
- Wow.
- Get back to it.
- Man, that happened.
We don't have
a lot of time left.
- Zack and wayne.
- Hey, how you doing?
- How's it going?
- Wow.
All I can say is wow.
Now, how do you feel
about your castle?
This is kind of like the castle
that connects you to heaven.
One of my friends,
he always would say,
"wayne, one of these days,
we're gonna ride off
into the sunset together."
but, you know, looks like
he ran off before I did, so...
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
This is kind of
like an homage to him?
- Kind of in his memory?
- In a way.
Yeah.
My brother was very
accommodating of me
to be able to pay
homage to my friend
who passed away from cancer.
He was a very
dear friend of mine
who I've known for 15 years.
And, you know,
that guy right there,
I can claim that
I learned a lot from him.
He always told me, you know,
reach out as far
as you possibly can,
because you just never know if
you're going to have tomorrow.
So, that's kind of the theme
we went for right here.
Will: Yeah, that's true.
It's a great way to look at it.
That's a pretty great
approach to life.
And it's nice that you're
able to kind of bring that
philosophy to this build
and personalize it
in this way.
I'm pulling for you guys.
Great job.
- Appreciate it.
- Wow.
I don't profess to know
what happens in the next life,
but it's always been
a saying for us,
it's never really good-bye.
It's till we meet again.
This build, it lets me
make my peace with my friend.
- Does this look like water?
- Yeah. It's cute.
So far in this competition,
the weeks that
we've done really well,
I think we've leaned on our
strengths with storytelling.
So, a cardboard box castle?
That has story
written all over it.
But we have to have this box,
or something in our build,
come out farther.
This is proving to be
really difficult
to attach it on
while it's...
- On the thing? I know.
- Mm-hmm.
We're going to have
a telescope come out
of this box
that'll give us
some more length.
We'll use some technic bricks
with some axels and pins,
and maybe shoot it out
that way.
But we also don't
know technic very well.
- It's a whole situation here.
- Yeah.
The telescope is not
coming together well.
It's breaking.
After tinkering with it
for awhile,
I'm feeling super frustrated,
because I know this is
an important part of our build.
It won't work like that.
It's going to break our box.
This is our last chance
to get into the finale, so...
Like, none of these
are even sticking together,
so it's going
to start breaking apart.
Oh, my gosh.
For this week's challenge,
our teams are building castles,
which is the super classic
lego theme.
But of course,
they're not just
building any castles.
They are building castles
on the side of a cliff.
They have ten
two-stud connection points.
That's twenty lego studs,
and that is all that's going to
be holding them to the cliff.
So this is an extremely
tough technical challenge.
This is not staying together
right here even,
to, like, lean anything on.
The telescope is not
coming together well.
It won't work like that.
It's going to break our box.
Let's take it off and see
if we can make it work here.
Michelle's like,
let's just simplify the technic
and shorten the telescope,
because we've got to try
to make it smaller.
No, not that one.
( groans )
I hope this comes together.
Down here is hideous.
If there's any way
we can clean that up--
- I'll try and fix it.
- They will penalize us
for that, I know it.
Top three teams
from this episode
move on to the finale
and get play for $100,000,
the title of lego masters,
and get the big trophy.
This is it.
This is their do or die
moment right now.
- Oh, yeah.
- It's nerve-wracking, though.
It's a cliffhanger for us
as much as we're asking them
to build a cliffhanger.
- All right.
- If there is still time,
I will do all
the detail-y stuff.
How are you doing
with the details?
I'm going to get these
detailed just a tiny bit,
and then we're
pretty good to go.
- Zack, roof done.
- Jeez.
- Start grabbing panels here.
- One hour left!
- Whoa!
- ( gasping )
this is the last time
I'm going to yell,
"one hour left,"
before the finale.
You hear that, zack? One hour.
I'm going to miss this.
Yelling and stuff, you know?
I wish you could hear me,
but, alas, I'm on an island.
Am I on an island?
No, I'm on a balcony.
I feel like this is important.
Kind of ties it all together.
This build ultimately
determines whether or not
we go onto the finale.
We have a really
fun story to tell,
and to bring it to life,
we need to make sure all
these details fall into place.
Jacob: So many things,
so little time.
I'm going to go
grab more figs.
- This is the gem dragon.
- I think one arm would
really sell the deal.
To hold it up or
an arm that's grabbing out?
Just kind of like this.
Oh, wow. That looks amazing.
We're very fond of
chinese architecture.
Those structures have lasted for
literally thousands of years.
( groans )
we want to capture that spirit
on the castle itself
which we want to make
look really detailed.
- I want this more dense.
- I know. I know.
- That's what
I'm doing right now.
- Okay.
Okay, I ain't touching
that anymore.
- One minute left!
- Whoo!
One minute.
Do we need some
support under there?
Faster. Faster.
- Can you make them higher up?
- Careful.
Don't press down too hard.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up! Bricks down.
Look at those castles!
Mark:
It's so close this time.
In many challenges,
we felt we've had an edge
or we felt like
we were really at risk.
In this case,
it's just so hard to tell.
All the castles on the cliff
are so unique and so different
that it's almost hard
to compare them.
That was stressful.
I feel really good
about our build.
I look around the room
and I know
it's totally different
than everybody else.
I'm just hoping
that our storytelling
and the concept
is strong enough
to carry us through
even though our telescope
doesn't come out as far
as the other castles.
I'm happy with that.
Jacob and I are so happy
with how our build turned out,
but these builders
are so talented.
I don't feel completely safe.
Wow.
We built something here.
This is good enough
for greg, right?
- This is good enough for greg.
- Good enough, dude?
It's outstanding.
Mark and steven,
you're the castle bros.
Why don't you tell the story
of your far-out build?
This is our gem mine castle,
and this the gem dragon
busting out of this gate,
chasing down a rogue miner
who is stealing
the prized jewel.
The jewel that
must not be touched.
The dragon, she's going to
hopefully save it
before it goes
off the edge into the ocean.
The shape of the castle,
we wanted to put more weight
at the back,
and then gradually step down
as you go towards
the edge of the castle.
Because if everything's
on the end,
we would have
a challenge keeping that up.
Strength isn't
really our forte,
but we really like
to build castles,
and this was
an amazing challenge
to build it on
a cliffside like this.
This is such a refreshing build
to see come from you guys,
because it is so imaginative.
You guys have all along
kind of shown us
your building skills,
but often going to
a very realistic approach.
This is almost like
a cloud floating in the sky.
You used really
nice building techniques
like this little border.
It ties in with your
larger structures,
but then actually
scales accordingly.
I love the storybook style
that you've gone for with
the little king on the top.
But for me,
this dragon, the first thing
I think is wings.
If you just had a little hint
of those wings bursting
out of the castle,
you could've had an even more
dramatic story moment.
- Mm-hmm.
- There's a lot at stake.
You don't want to go out on
the thing that you're known for.
With all that big talk
about castle bros,
we could've set ourselves up
for a big fall.
Mark and steven, great job.
Mark and steven, of course,
have another great build.
It's a little intimidating.
But if we win best castle, we
take their title of castle bros,
and secure our spot
in the finale.
- The pressure is on.
- Caleb and jacob.
Hit us with
your cliffhanger story.
This is the jousting final
at the seaside sanctuary,
and it's looking to be
a pretty exciting match.
However, things seem
to be taking a turn.
Some crazy dude was fishing
on the end
of the jousting pier.
The catch
was just heavy enough
to start bringing
the whole thing down.
What's going to happen?
Is sir bob finally
going to get the win?
Is the whole thing going
to come crashing down?
Will that guy catch that fish?
And will it taste good?
I'm just so happy when
I see this model.
It's fun and beautiful.
Your castle is really striking.
You've got gorgeous
colors for it.
This roof work
is just really nice.
The fact that you
supported all of this weight
and came out
as far as you did,
and then were still playful
to have a dip at the bottom,
it's an accomplishment
of engineering.
And your whole build is
connected by this many bricks.
Fantastic work.
You should be very proud.
Thank you.
- Michelle and natalie. Hi!
- Hello!
As a mom, I love when
we can make our builds
look child-friendly.
I love that.
That's kind of like
my favorite thing.
So, tell us about
your cardboard castle.
So our character is elmer,
and he has
a wonderful imagination.
His family is moving,
and his parents are starting
to pack up his room
and so he takes some of
the cardboard boxes
and creates a magical
castle world for himself.
So, brickmasters,
what do you think?
You guys looked
a little bit nervous when
you saw the challenge,
but then you dug deep
and you thought,
"what are our superpowers?"
and that is imagination.
But you also went
into the mind of a kid,
which is something
we always do at lego,
so I think that was just
a great starting point.
I think people may not
realize how hard it is
to do drawings
with lego bricks.
It's actually quite hard to do,
so I like that
you took that risk.
You tried something new.
Amy: You've even got
the marker pen right beside it
to help link that story.
I just wish that your telescope
could've come out a bit more,
and I know you tried and
the weight got to be a bit much.
But it just, again, reminds us
all how hard it is to do,
but really great that you were
able to support these boxes
without any technic.
- Great job.
- Thank you.
It's just really exciting
to hear them say such
nice things about it
because I know I love it.
And to just know that
somebody else loves our art,
- it's super encouraging.
- Hello there, zack and wayne.
Tell us the story
of your far out kingdom.
We built a castle
that's asian-themed
based off of our heritage,
and it's homage to my friend
who passed away from cancer.
My friend loved motorcycles.
I have to remember,
I have to thank him
for a lot right there.
But, you know, he rode off
into the sunset before me.
Amy:
It's such a brilliant tribute
you have to your friend.
I'm sure that he would be
super proud that you've built
this for him today,
and what a fantastic
build it is.
Not only have you gone
so far out from the wall
and shown us your
technical skill,
but you've actually built your
castle right in the middle.
I like that you've used
the details on the roof.
Not only did
you bring that out,
but you also
created a stunning piece
of engineering.
The only thing I would say is,
you have so many studs
on the side.
I can't help but
see opportunities to attach
things to those studs.
- But you should be very proud.
- Thank you.
I feel like we've taken
every single challenge
with every bit
of our being as we could.
Zack: Everybody's taking
this competition seriously.
Everybody wants
the title lego master.
We want that, too.
For eleven weeks,
you've built your hearts out
and wowed us with
mind-boggling builds.
You have a lot to be proud of.
Three teams will move on
to next week's finale,
where they'll be
competing for $100,000,
a one of a kind lego trophy,
and the title of lego masters.
One team will not.
For twelve hours,
you've designed a sprawling
world off the edge of a cliff
held only by nothing more
than ten two stud bricks.
We measured just how far out
each build stretched
from the wall
because the team
with the longest build
automatically advances
to compete
in the season finale.
So, the first team to move on,
with a kingdom
that stretched out
a whopping six feet is...
Zack and wayne.
Congratulations,
zack and wayne.
You are moving on
to the finale.
It feels great, you know?
It's like--
thank you so much for
allowing us to move on.
We had not recreated our magic
since the first challenge.
We've always been hovering,
but it's like we finally
proved our point
right there, saying,
"hey, we didn't come
here just to participate.
We came here to win."
now we can say, like,
"hey, zack, did you know
we're in the finals?"
- we're in the finals.
- ( laughing )
- congratulations.
- Thank you. Thank you.
The real question
is who will join you?
The brickmasters have to make
their toughest decision yet.
Who is moving on to compete
in the season two finale?
We'll find out after this.
How's that for a cliffhanger?
The brickmasters have to make
their toughest decision yet.
Who is moving on to compete
in the season two finale?
- Two spots remain.
- Zack and wayne,
they pulled it off.
They're the longest build here.
They really played to their
strengths and it paid off.
Mark: Looking at the other
two builds that we're facing
in this judging,
I am not sure where we're at.
It's really unsettling to not
have that kind of confidence.
Brickmasters,
who designed your favorite
cliffhanger build this week?
The team that built
quite possibly
the most impressive build
we've seen this
entire competition...
...Is caleb and jacob.
Congratulations.
Caleb and jacob,
you are the brickmasters'
favorite build
and you are in the finale.
I'm so excited.
Now we're walking out of here
with the title
of castle brothers.
What a day. What a day.
Congratulations,
caleb and jacob. It's awesome.
Thank you.
All right, mark and steven,
michelle and natalie,
please step forward.
Okay, brickmasters,
it all comes down to this.
Which team is joining
zack and wayne
and caleb and jacob
in the finale?
I am not lying in saying
that this has been
a really tough decision
because you guys have given us
four absolutely incredible
cliffhanger builds today.
There was one
fantastical fantasy build
that was larger than life,
that just edged above
the other one.
And that was mark and steven.
- Good job, guys.
- Mark and steven,
congratulations.
You're on to the finale.
Michelle and natalie,
I'm so sorry.
You have wowed us time
and time again this season.
You have so many fans
in this room.
You guys have delivered some
of the most creative
and imaginative builds,
and I absolutely loved seeing
you get better and better
throughout this competition.
Yeah, you guys have
such an incredible gift,
and that is imagination.
And it's something
that's really special,
and it's really hard to find.
And you should be so proud
of where you've come to
in this competition.
Can I take a second
to tell you something
really quick?
My five year old daughter,
when she saw
"lego masters" last season,
and she saw you, amy,
she goes,
"I can work at lego, too,
because there's a girl
that works at lego."
and I think
it's really important
that you have the position
that you do
to inspire lots of kids,
but especially little girls
that see somebody
that's like them
doing something
amazing and fun.
So, thank you for
inspiring lots of kids.
- Thanks for sharing that.
- Yeah.
And I think you girls
are certainly going to inspire
so many more girls
all over the usa
with your awesome creations.
It's going to be hard
to see you go,
but also, natalie,
I'll probably see you
here next year.
You're going to be
standing in my spot.
I got to come to terms
with that a little bit.
But truly, you guys, you really
have just brought so much,
and we're so lucky to have
had you here on lego masters.
But sadly it has
to come to an end.
Please turn in your
minifigs and say good-bye.
- Thank you.
- Bye, guys.
- Congratulations, guys.
- So good.
- Huddle.
- It's going to be
a brother battle!
Last season,
I'm just watching this show,
like, imagining,
"oh, my gosh,
what would I do
in that situation?
What would I do
in that situation?
I can't even wrap
my head around it."
and now we're here
and we did it.
I'm so proud of us.
- Thank you for bringing
me on this journey.
- Thank you for coming.
Gosh, you really
want me to cry.
Zack and wayne,
the castle bros,
and the new castle bros,
you did it.
Jacob:
Never did we ever think
we would get this far.
We're going to the finale with
two other teams of brothers
and with our new title
of castle bros.
We are feeling great.
- I can't believe it.
We're in the finals.
- We're in the finals.
You have three sets of brothers,
but three very different teams.
You have strength
and engineering,
you have design
and wild concepts,
and then you have aesthetics
and story, which is us.
It's the ultimate game
of rock paper scissors.
I'll see you all back here
next week for the finale.
Now go hit the bricks.
Next week...
You've earned an invitation
to lego's biggest
night of the year.
After an epic season
of wild competitions
- and thrilling creations...
- Yeah!
...It all comes down to this.
- We are in the finale!
- Whoo!
- The final battle.
- "lego masters" finale!
Amy: You can build
whatever you want.
But whatever you build
should present itself one way
when the lights are on,
and something unexpected
when the lights go off.
Who will win the ultimate
title of lego masters
and the $100,000 grand prize?
Jamie: Our winning team of
"lego masters" season two is...
