[Master] Physical: 100.

The Punishment of Atlas will begin.

[Jin-hyeong yells]

Go, Kang-min, good luck.

-Go, Kim Sik. -[contestants cheer]

[energetic yell]

[whistle blows]

[grunts]

[whistle blows]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Oh. Oh, gosh, shoot.

-[grunts] -[man] Good luck.

-Oh, no, oh, God, oh, no. -Oh, no.

-[grunts] -[man] Good luck.

[grunts]

[moaning with exertion]

No, no, no, no.

Oh, no.

[all grunting]

[Bo-mi-rae gasps, laughs]

[grunts, gasps]

[laughs]

[Park Jin-yong] Ah, ah, oh, okay.

-[pants] -[Master] Shin Bo-mi-rae is out.

[Bo-mi-rae] I was so angry with myself, I couldn't even lift the rock.

[gasps]

[Jin-yong] Ah, ah, oh, okay.

[grunts] Wow.

[Sung-hoon] It's hard, it's hard, it's hard.

[dramatic music playing]

She's still trying to lift it.

[tired breathing]

-[grunting] -[Jin-yong] Oh.

Don't do it, don't do it. You're gonna get hurt.

-She's gonna hurt her back. -Put it down.

It's okay, you did well.

[Da-young] Oh, I feel so bad for her.

[Bo-mi-rae] I kept thinking, "Ah, I could've done better."

It was such a shame to lose.

[Sun-ho] Those two are so stable.

[Da-young] Jin-hyeong, good luck.

[Jung-myung] Jin-hyeong, good going.

[A-reum] No, his body is shaking.

-[Sun-ho] Kang-min, nice, keep going. -[A-reum] Good luck.

[Hee-dong] Ah, Kang-min's shaking already, his calves are shaking.

[Han-saem] Ah, but those two…

[Ki-kwan] Now those two are identical from the front.

-[Hee-dong] He has a good chance. -[Da-young] Oh, this is so nerve-racking.

[Woo Jin-yong] But I think he looks more comfortable right now.

-[Jung-myung] Sik? -[Woo Jin-yong] Yeah.

He looks like the rock's settled on him,

but other two are holding the rocks.

Kang-min, hang in a bit longer.

Go, Kang-min.

[Hae-min] Ah, it must be heavy. He's wavering.

[Sung-bin] No, hang in there.

[rope straining]

[Ki-kwan] Go, Kim Sik.

[Hee-dong] Go, Kim Sik.

Kang-min, stay strong a bit longer.

-Go, Jo Jin-hyeong. -Go, Jo Jin-hyeong.

Go, go.

[Ki-kwan] Hey, it's hard on everyone.

It's about the mindset, the mindset.

[Woo Jin-yong] Wow, he's drenched with sweat.

[Da-young] He's sweating crazy.

[Woo Jin-yong] I think the rock is pressing his shoulder.

[Kang-min] My whole body was aching. Like I was actually being tortured.

Oh, they won't give up. Amazing, just amazing.

[Kang-min sighs]

[Kang-min] It's heavy.

You're doing well, just a bit more, Kang-min.

Be careful.

[ragged breathing]

[Kang-min] Whoo.

[panting]

-[grunts] -[Hae-min] Aw, man. Oh, no.

-[grunts] -[Hae-min] Aw, man. Oh, no.

[A-reum] Well done.

Good job, good job. You're amazing.

-Don't feel bad, don't feel bad. -You did well.

[Sun-ho] You did your best, Kang-min.

[Master] Kim Kang-min is out.

[Kang-min] I was regretting so much to the point that I was angry.

I felt that there are so many strong people in this world.

[pensive music playing]

[Ki-kwan] Go, Sik. You're very stable.

[Hee-dong] Whoa, those two will drag this on.

[ominous music playing]

[Hae-min] It's a serious match.

-[Hyun-seung] Go, Kim Sik. -[Park Jin-yong] Go, Jo Jin-hyeong.

-[Hee-dong] Go, Kim Sik. -[Jung-myung] Hold on, hold on.

[Sun-ho] Go, Kim Sik, go, Jo Jin-hyeong.

You're both doing well.

[Sik] As, well, just as I thought,

I realized I need to beat Jin-hyeong to win.

[Sun-ho] He's amazing, though.

[Jin-hyeong] I thought, "Whoa, this is going to last a while."

I can't even tell you how darn hard this is.

Wow…

[Ki-kwan] Kang-min, how many kilograms does it weigh?

I think it's over 50.

It weighs over 50 kilograms? Wow.

They're putting up with that much weight?

[Sun-ho] Oh, but Jo Jin-hyeong is much more stable.

Sik is a bit out of balance right now.

-[Han-saem] He's leaning to the right. -[Sun-ho] Yeah.

-[Hyun-seung] His hip is sticking out. -[Hee-dong] Sik's hip is sticking out.

[Hae-min] His posture is breaking his back.

No.

-Keep going. -You're doing well.

-[Hee-dong] Go, Kim Sik. -[Sun-ho] Go, Kim Sik.

[Ki-kwan] It's heavy for both of you.

Kim Sik, Kim Sik, go.

No, hang on.

Hang on, hang on.

[suspenseful music playing]

I was anchoring it with my arms.

More than my arms hurting, there was a lot of pressure on my shoulders,

then the pressure on my back.

[Hae-min] It's just so hard to watch.

Whoa, I think just standing still is so hard.

-Go, Sik. -Go.

Go, Kim Sik.

-[Sung-bin] He's not moving at all. -[Hee-dong] Whoa, this is really great.

[Ki-kwan] Look, Jo Jin-hyeong has the rope touching his shoulder.

That must be hurting a lot.

At the time, I honestly didn't care about the other guy

because I was struggling too.

[Jin-hyeong] I was fighting against myself.

"Let's do this, Jin-hyeong, ten minutes. Let's last for ten minutes."

-[Hae-min] Oh, dear, oh, dear. -[Woo Jin-yong] Hang on.

-[Hae-min] Isn't it cruel? -[men laugh]

Just one person, one out of four.

[Woo Jin-yong] I know, gosh…

[Hae-min] Whoa, they're lasting so long.

-Go, Kim Sik. -Go, go.

Go, Jo Jin-hyeong.

How long has it been now?

-Thirty minutes? -Thirty-six minutes?

-Thirty minutes? -[contestants exclaiming]

-[applause] -[clock trilling]

Whoa, 30 minutes.

[inquisitive music playing]

[Hae-min] Man, Sik looked like he was gonna collapse but he was hanging on.

[Ki-kwan] Keep going.

-[Park Jin-yong] Ah, he's losing it. -[Jung-myung] Ah, the other side,

-the other side, no, no, the rock. -You can do it.

[Sung-bin] Hanging on isn't the key now, finding a stable position is.

-[Ki-kwan] You can do it. -[Hee-dong] You can do it.

[Sun-ho] Hang on, keep going.

It's hard to keep holding up your arms like that,

It's draining even without the rock.

[rock music playing]

[Hee-dong] Ah, he's starting to wobble.

Once you start to wobble, your mind starts to wobble too.

[Hyun-seung] It takes energy to stabilize the shaking too.

[Hee-dong] It does.

[Ki-kwan] Nice, Sik.

This is hard on both of you.

[Hee-dong] Gosh.

One little twist and it would fall.

But he got back in control.

[Hae-min] Yeah. Wow, they're so even.

Such willpower.

[Jin-hyeong] It's not that bad. It's not that bad.

[Sun-ho] Okay.

-Go. -Go.

-Kim Sik, go. -Nice, nice, nice, nice.

-[Sung-bin] Go, go, go. -[Hyun-seung] Go, Kim Sik.

[Sun-ho] You're both great, you're both great.

Awesome.

-Ah, this is a real punishment. -Nice, you're doing well.

[Master] The Punishment of Atlas, one hour in.

[all exclaiming]

Seriously…

Seriously?

[Hyun-seung] It's a real punishment for sure.

-[Hee-dong] It's crazy, crazy. -[Hae-min] Oh, jeez.

Ah, it's a real punishment.

-[Sung-bin] For real. -[Hae-min] It's a tough punishment.

A tough one, a tough one.

[Jin-hyeong] I felt stable after a while.

When I heard it had been an hour, I was very surprised.

Like, "It's been an hour already?"

Fine, I thought.

And I looked at Sik's face,

and he looked like he wasn't gonna give up.

So I thought, let's take this to the end.

An hour into this, I thought, "Ah, this is lasting too long."

[Sik] Then I thought, well, let's just last as long as I can.

[ominous music playing]

[Sun-ho] He's holding it up with one hand. What the heck?

[Hae-min] Oh, he fixed his posture. He's recovering.

[Park Jin-yong] Uh, he's putting it up there and resting one of his arms.

-It's showmanship. -Wow, Sik has become an expert.

[thrilling music playing]

[Master] The Punishment of Atlas, 90 minutes in.

[all exclaiming]

Let's go, let's go.

Bravo.

[Jung-myung] They just played a full game of soccer.

[Jung-myung] Ninety minutes.

[Han-saem] Ninety minutes is really a full game of soccer.

[ominous music playing]

[ragged breathing]

[Hyun-seung] This is great.

He's gonna drop it now.

[all exclaiming]

[theme music playing]

PHYSICAL: 100

EPISODE 8: A MERCILESS PUNISHMENT

[ominous music playing]

[all exclaiming]

[Hae-min] They're amazing. Just lasting like that.

Even if I join them now, I'm still gonna lose.

[tense music playing]

Wow.

Whoa, how are they balancing the rocks so well?

[Sung-bin] They have to keep the balance.

Jin-hyeong just got into a stable posture.

[Hae-min] I've been looking at them for so long,

the rocks look like their heads now.

They look like they're attached to their bodies.

[Han-saem] I bet they didn't know they were gonna last two hours.

[both panting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[all exclaiming]

[exclaiming continues]

[sympathetic exclaiming]

[shouts]

[applause]

[grunts]

[Master] Kim Sik is out.

[shouts]

[applause]

[Hae-min] You're awesome.

-Kim Sik, well done. -Well done.

[contestants cheering and applauding]

Because of you, we did it for so long.

-[Jin-hyeong] Well done. -[A-reum] That was awesome.

[Hae-min] Ah, amazing.

They were just so amazing. Ah, great, well done.

[Jin-hyeong] I saw Sik sway and right then, I thought, "Ah, I won."

I can't described with words. I was so happy to win.

But being able to have this great match with my bro Sik for two hours

was even greater.

During the whole match, I was thinking that I gotta win.

[Sik] I felt so empty when I lost and I was angry with myself.

I'm sad that I lost, but, of course, I gotta accept the result. It was fun.

It was a huge honor

to be able to spend time with people at the top of their fields.

[Kang-min] It was a meaningful and a great time.

I got eliminated but I have no regrets about my decision.

[Bo-mi-rae] If it's possible, I'd like someone on my team to win.

THE PUNISHMENT OF ATLAS, JO JIN-HYEONG

Jin-hyeong, could you have lasted another hour?

No, are you kidding me? Jeez.

But if you were still there, I think you would have done it.

I would if I had to, gosh.

[Master] This quest is The Fire of Prometheus.

In The Fire of Prometheus, contestants overcome obstacles to obtain the torch.

The race is repeated until the last torch is taken.

Competing contestants, please enter the arena.

[Ki-kwan] If I win this game, then victory will be within my reach.

I'm gonna use all the energy to win.

[Park Jin-yong] So far, I've been hiding my actual athletic prowess,

but now, it's time to show it and I'm gonna show it all.

[Nippert] Just focus on what I can do, what my strengths are.

I'm gonna try my best and no matter what the situation is,

I'm never gonna give up.

[Miracle] I wanna come in first place.

I prepared so much for today so I'm confident.

-[Sun-ho] Good luck. -[Han-saem] Good luck.

-[Hee-dong] Wow, awesome. -[all] Miracle.

-Go, Park Jin-yong. -Go, Nippert.

Miracle.

[Woo Jin-yong] I think this will be fun. Nippert and Miracle.

Is Miracle good?

[Woo Jin-yong] Yeah. He does acrobatics.

I think Nippert could win this for real.

Can't he just step over that thing?

[Sik] Because he's tall.

[Jung-myung] I'm curious what Jin-yong will do.

He's very flexible, with that frame.

He's faster than you think.

[Hyun-seung] Whoa, it's high, it's really high.

How do you climb that thing?

[Sik] Oh, that's tough.

[Hae-min] Whoa, tall people would be good at this.

I think it's a good mission for Nippert.

I think he'll do all right.

[Ki-kwan] The wooden frame was quite high for me.

It was a lot of pressure.

[Park Jin-yong] "Can I win this? I don't think I can."

I kept worrying about that.

[Miracle] The wood was so tall, I was worried.

I saw Nippert.

He has an advantage.

[Nippert] My physique is tall. I'm not worried about other players.

So I'm just trying to focus on myself.

[Master] Contestants participating in The Fire of Prometheus are

-Dustin Nippert… -[contestants cheer]

…Seol Ki-kwan…

[cheering]

-…Park Jin-yong… -[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong.

Let's go, Park Jin-yong.

-…and Miracle. -[man] Good luck.

Miracle.

[all cheering]

[Ki-kwan] Um, when I saw Miracle I thought,

ah, I hope he wouldn't participate in this one.

[Nippert] He's, like, really light on his feet.

He jumps well, he can move really well.

He's flexible and looks like a good runner so I wanted to avoid him.

[Master] All contestants, head to the starting line.

-[Ki-kwan] Good luck. -[contestants cheer]

-[man] Good luck. -[Miracle in Aramaic] Be opened!

Nippert, good luck.

-[Miracle grunts] -[Jin-hyeong] Ah, on their stomach, oh.

[Sung-bin] This is all about quickness.

This one will be decided early on in the race.

There might be a fight.

If all four of them run, I think they're gonna bump into each other.

[Sung-bin] It's about who's gonna get there quicker.

[Hyun-seung] Oh, water's falling. There's water, there's water.

[Sun-ho] It's gonna be soggy and muddy.

[Hyun-seung] When it's wet, it definitely feels different.

[Park Jin-yong grunts]

[Master] The Fire of Prometheus will begin now.

[all cheering]

Ah, this must be tense.

Oh, this is gonna be exciting.

[Miracle] I am confident.

[Park Jin-yong] I'm a luger. I thought about the angle I should run,

so as long as I hear the first whistle, I'm gonna win.

[Ki-kwan] Other than the wooden frame, nothing bothered me that much.

"Let's win, let's win."

That's what I was thinking.

[Nippert] Get over the hurdle first, then I would be okay.

-[Miracle] Good luck. -[Park Jin-yong] Good luck.

[whistle blows]

[man gasps]

[all grunt]

[Min-cheol] No, Nippert.

No.

[man gasps]

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, Jin-yong's fast. Whoa, Jin-yong's fast.

Whoa, Jin-yong's fast. Whoa, Jin-yong's fast.

[upbeat music playing]

Jin-yong's fast.

-[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong's fast. -[Da-young] How come he's so fast?

[Jin-hyeong] Nice. He's fast, he's fast.

Nice.

-He's fast, he's fast. -Wow.

Whoa, he's fast.

[man] Nice! [shouts]

I did it.

[Master] Nippert is out.

[Sung-hoon] Ah, he got caught. He got caught.

Ah, he got caught at the bar.

[Nippert grunts]

[Nippert] Once I got over the hurdle, I think I fell down.

And other players were already picking up the, the sticks so…

Ah, I was the first one out.

[laughs]

The obstacles could change the game.

-Whoa, Jin-yong's fast. -He was really fast.

[Park Jin-yong] As soon as I walked in, I started planning everything.

Where to step at the bar, which position to take when I landed.

Which foot I should put down first, I planned it all.

I was so happy when I picked the torch up.

Miracle, you gotta be calm, stay calm.

[Miracle] The other people were so fast.

[laughing] I couldn't even think straight.

[Ki-kwan] Well, actually there was a gap between me and them.

I couldn't advance this round if I didn't do something.

I had to move faster, yeah.

[huffs] Good luck.

[deep exhale]

[Ki-kwan sighs] I will definitely win.

[Miracle] I thought I could run pretty well.

[Park Jin-yong] I was worried about Miracle.

My thoughts were focused on coming in first.

[Master] The second quest of The Fire of Prometheus will begin.

Ah, this is nerve-racking, it's really nerve-racking.

-It's getting tense again. -You're right.

Yeah.

Let's do well, let's do well.

[whistle blows]

[all grunting]

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, Jin-yong's fast.

-Whoa! -Yeah!

[all panting]

[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong, nice.

Whoa, Jin-yong's fast. Wow.

Whoa, Jin-yong's fast. Wow.

[grunts]

[contestants clapping]

[Master] Seol Ki-kwan is out.

Ki-kwan, good job, nice.

-You were awesome. Well done. -[Jin-hyeong] Let's go, Jin-yong.

Well done.

Ah…

[Ki-kwan] In the first round, I had a problem with my knee,

so when I climbed the frame and came down,

all I was thinking of was, "Be careful, don't get hurt."

[rock music playing]

I felt so deflated.

It's a shame.

-Jin-yong. -Jin-yong.

[contestants whooping]

Whoa, he's so fast.

-He's gets up and run so fast. -Yes, super fast.

-He climbs down and dashes right away. -Yeah.

[grunts]

[all panting]

[Da-young] Park Jin-yong.

You got this.

I got this.

-[Min-cheol] You got this. -[Da-young] You got this.

-Miracle, just one more race. -One more, one more.

[Miracle breathing heavily]

[Miracle] I was a little worried, but I didn't want to make a mistake.

"It's okay, I can do it." That's what I said to myself. Yeah.

[Park Jin-yong] I was definitely the fastest.

I grew confident, but I tried to ground myself.

-[Park Jin-yong] Good luck. -[Nippert] Let's go, let's go.

[men] Good luck.

[Master] The third quest of The Fire of Prometheus will begin now.

[tense music playing]

[deep breath]

[Miracle breathing heavily]

[whistle blows]

[Park Jin-yong panting]

[Jung-myung] Let's go.

[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong, run.

Let's go.

Jin-yong, run. Jin-yong, jump, run.

[energetic yell]

[Jin-yong shouts]

[suspenseful music playing]

[energetic yell]

[grunts]

[yelps]

Whoa!

Ah.

[bleeps] Ah! No!

[bleeps] Ah! No!

[contestants cheering]

[Jin-hyeong] Nice. Nice.

[cheering]

Nice.

Nice.

[whistle blows]

[tense music playing]

[Jung-myung] Let's go!

[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong, run. Jin-yong, jump, run.

Jin-yong, run. Jin-yong, jump, run.

[Jin-yong yells]

[Jin-hyeong] Jin-yong, jump, run.

-[Jin-yong yells] -[Jin-hyeong] Nice.

[tense music continues]

-Well done, well done, it's okay. -Well done, Miracle.

Miracle, it's okay.

[Master] Miracle is out.

[bleeps] Ah!

[all laugh]

Miracle was a bit slow when he climbed and jumped.

-Yeah. So when he climbed over… -Yes, when he was climbing over.

…he slowed down too much, and he turned around with too much twist.

[Miracle panting]

[contestants exclaiming]

God. Ah, I'm so angry.

Ah.

[Miracle] If I were given another chance,

I'd change the way I climbed the big wooden frame.

I was first.

It's such a shame.

-[Park Jin-yong] Well done. -[Master] The Fire of Prometheus is over.

Whoa, you're so good.

The survivor of The Fire of Prometheus is Park Jin-yong.

-[all cheering] -[Jin-hyeong] Nice, Jin-yong.

-Nice, Jin-yong. -[cheers]

Good job.

[upbeat music playing]

[all exclaiming]

[exclaiming continues]

-[woman whooping] -[Woo Jin-yong] Bravo.

-[Hae-min] Looking cool, looking cool. -[Jin-hyeong] That's so cool.

[Hae-min] Looking cool.

-[Miracle yells] -Congrats.

[all cheering]

Whoo!

[Park Jin-yong] "Ah, this is me." That's what I thought.

"Ah, this is me. I forgot I was good at sports."

To be honest, since I was just a luger, I didn't expect to make it to the finals.

I'll find the easiest, fastest and shortest way.

[mysterious music playing]

[Nippert] Very happy and I feel very fortunate, very lucky to have…

met all the other players and I'm…

Yes, so very grateful.

Let's lose some weight.

[Ki-kwan] I met many people from various fields,

and we had some great matches, so I'm happy about that.

It's a memory I'm gonna cherish forever.

-[man] Ooh. -[all cheer]

So cool.

[grunts]

[Miracle] I never imagined I would do something this amazing.

Thank you so much for the opportunity.

[applause]

THE PUNISHMENT OF ATLAS, JO JIN-HYEONG THE FIRE OF PROMETHEUS, PARK JIN-YONG

[Sun-ho] Ah, it's so cruel that only one survives out of four.

When it's my turn, can you fasten this thing for me?

-Sure, I'll do it for you. -[Master] This quest is…

[tense music playing]

I'd like to do mine now.

The Wings of Icarus.

-Let's go. -The rope.

-[Sun-ho] Wings. -[Jin-hyeong] Wings, nice.

-[man] Yeah. -[applause]

[Jin-hyeong] You can do it.

[whoops]

Okay.

TEAM CHOO SUNG-HOON

Can I do the rope?

You want to do the rope too?

[Woo Jin-yong] Yeah, I want to do it.

WOO JIN-YONG, CROSSFITTER

[Woo Jin-yong] I'm really good at climbing ropes.

KIM MIN-CHEOL, MOUNTAIN RESCUER

[laughing] Oh, could you please let me do it?

Because other than that, I don't…

Yeah, it's the same. The same situation. We all wanna win.

Well, we have no choice.

Only one of you can do this.

And I can't make the decision either.

My mind is going blank. [laughs]

I'm a climber.

-[Sung-hoon] Exactly. -Yeah.

[Woo Jin-yong] He does ice climbing.

If not him, no one can do it.

I had to let it go.

-[Min-cheol] Thank you. -Okay.

I'm sorry.

[Min-cheol] I got to do The Wings of Icarus. I am…

so grateful they let me do this game.

So grateful.

You have to survive. I'm gonna win in another game too.

We must get through.

[Sung-hoon] Someone from our team has to win.

-Go, go, go, go. -You can do it.

-Show them, show them, show them, huh? -Seriously.

-Bye. -Go, go, go, go.

-Good luck. -Go, go, go.

See you later.

[Master] The Wings of Icarus.

That has nothing to do with wings.

Da-young, you have wings on your back right now.

Yes, you have wings on your back.

I have wings now. I'm about to take flight.

I'll go as steadily and slowly as possible.

[Da-young] That's how I'm gonna climb.

I'm gonna use my feet, whatever I have,

and use all the energy I have saved up.

SONG A-REUM BODYBUILDER

Uh, the truth is, I've never climbed a rope before.

[A-reum] "Is this even possible?"

But I wanted to do my best.

"Let's just do it. Let's hang on."

KIM MIN-CHEOL MOUNTAIN RESCUE

I'm a mountain rescuer and on the national team for ice climbing.

[Min-cheol] So this is definitely the game for me.

I'm gonna win for sure.

I'm confident I'll come in first.

SON HEE-DONG WRESTLER

[Hee-dong] I picked it thinking I have an advantage

and if I climb with confidence, I think I can easily come in first place.

[contestants cheering]

-[Ki-kwan] Good luck. -[Sun-ho] Let's go!

-Go, Da-young. -[contestants cheering]

[Sun-ho] A-reum, take first place, first place.

-Go! -Let's go, Kim Min-cheol.

Go!

-Show them. -Min-cheol, good luck.

[Master] The Wings of Icarus is a quest

in which contestants must climb a single rope that keeps coming down.

You will be eliminated if your feet touch the floor.

The last contestant to remain on the rope will survive.

[Sik] It'll keep coming down so it's gonna be really hard to climb.

[Jin-hyeong] But, whoa, just thinking of it scares me.

[Hae-min] Whoa, this is tough.

Ah, this is gonna be close. Close match between the two guys.

[Sik] Climbing and wrestling.

[Ki-kwan] Hee-dong was saying a while ago

that if there was rope-climbing, he would definitely win.

[Sun-ho] He must have climbed so many ropes.

[Sung-bin] Well, he's a wrestler, so…

[Ki-kwan] He was confident in anything rope-related.

[Hee-dong] I really didn't wanna face Kim Min-cheol and he showed up.

"Ah, I just need to beat him," I thought.

[Min-cheol] Because wrestlers climb ropes a lot,

I had to keep my check on Son Hee-dong.

[Master] The Wings of Icarus will begin.

[man] Good luck.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Let's go. -[Jin-hyeong] Go, go, go.

[whistle blows]

-[Sik] Go, go. -[Han-saem] Go, go.

[Sun-ho] Whoa, watch him climb. Wow.

[Sun-ho] I was so surprised.

[Hae-min] He's definitely good.

[Ki-kwan] I thought Hee-dong would have the best chance to win.

[Hee-dong] We climb ropes as part of our training so it should be doable.

[upbeat music playing]

[Sun-ho] He's a mountain rescuer?

[Jin-hyeong] Gosh.

[Ki-kwan] Ice climbing.

[Min-cheol] Once I reach a certain height, I'd rest while the rope comes down,

then I'd climb again and then rest again.

I was gonna do that endlessly.

[upbeat music continues]

Uh, it's slowly coming down.

-Climb once it's down. -[Bo-mi-rae] Go, Kim Min-cheol.

-[contestants cheering] -[man grunts]

[Sun-ho] You have to tight grip.

[grunts]

[Sun-ho] That's it.

[Jin-hyeong] Look up then climb. Look up then climb.

[Sun-ho] You have to hook your legs, A-reum.

[A-reum] I gotta move my feet more. Climb just a little higher.

-Step on the back of your own foot. -Step on your foot.

[Sun-ho] Step on the left foot with your right.

[Han-saem] You have to use both feet, that's it.

[Sun-ho] That's it, okay.

[A-reum] Kim Da-young was another female contestant.

At least I wanted to beat her.

[Park Jin-yong] Go, go!

[Da-young] Oh, I should really bite my teeth and do it.

[Park Jin-yong] Nice, Da-young, you're doing well.

[Jin-hyeong] Nice, Da-young, yes.

[Jung-myung] Da-young, nice, nice.

Hang on. Hang on, Da-young. Da-young, you're doing well.

-You said you're good. -You're doing well, you're doing well.

-[Jin-hyeong] Yes, hang on. -[Hae-min] Nice.

-Legs, legs, use your legs. -[Jin-hyeong] Climb slowly

watch as you go, you don't need to keep climbing.

Hook your legs, hook your legs.

-[Sung-bin] It's coming down so slowly. -[Sik] Well, it's okay at the beginning,

but if it drags on, it's get tiring.

[Sun-ho] You have to use your feet a lot, use your feet to support yourself.

-[Park Jin-yong] Hang on, hang on. -[man] That's it, you're doing well.

-[Park Jin-yong] Keep recovering. -[Sik] You need to know

-how to use your feet well. -Use your feet well, yes, nice.

-Well done. -Their arms are getting tired.

-[Hae-min] Breathe, breathe. -[Sung-hoon] Relax as you go.

[Woo Jin-yong] They're gonna feel weak soon 'cause they're running out of energy.

[Jin-hyeong] Oh, shoot.

[A-reum panting]

[Sun-ho] Use your feet well, nice, well done.

[A-reum] I tried to move my feet and climbed up,

but I went up only a little bit.

[Sun-ho] Twist your legs, A-reum. You have to twist them and grab on.

She's out. She's out of energy.

[Jin-hyeong] Da-young, there's no need to go too high.

[Sun-ho] Your legs, use your legs to move.

[Woo Jin-yong] Oh, no, no, no.

-Oh, no, no, no. -[Sun-ho] Use your legs.

Stay calm, it's okay, Da-young.

[Da-young] I think I mess it up because I was rushing.

When I'm on a set and have to hang on for a long time,

I have the help of a wire.

KIM DA-YOUNG STUNTWOMAN

It was the first time in my life that I had to hang for that long.

-Oh, no. -Oh, no.

[panting]

[A-reum] I was really tired.

[Da-young] This is really bad, I thought.

[thrilling music playing]

[contestants exclaim]

-Ah, I can't do it. -[Master] Song A-reum is out.

[all exclaim]

Well done, well done.

Ah, I came in last.

[sighs] I should've hung on just a bit more.

[A-reum] It was harder than I thought because I didn't know how to do it.

My arms and my forearms ran out of energy first.

I just couldn't hold on anymore.

[Jin-hyeong] Da-young, don't climb, hang on with your feet,

-hang on with your feet, with your feet. -[Hae-min] Put your feet up.

Hang on like that, hang on, with your feet.

[tense music playing]

-[Woo Jin-yong] Yes, that's it. -[Sung-hoon] That's it.

That's it, that's it.

-Min-cheol, that's it. -Feet, feet.

-Okay, okay, okay. -Nice feet.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Min-cheol, keep it up. -[Sung-hoon] That's it, that's it.

-[Park Jin-yong] Don't panic, it's okay. -[Sung-hoon] Okay, okay.

-Whoa, he can even rest his arms. -Ah, this is tough, huh.

[Da-young] Min-cheol held onto the rope with one hand,

stood upright on his feet and shook out his other arm.

When I saw that, I thought, "That's ridiculous."

-Da-young, it's time to climb. -Da-young, don't give up.

[Hae-min] Hook your legs, your legs.

-[energetic yell] -[encouraging shouting]

[Jung-myung] You got this, Da-young, you have a lot of room.

-[Jin-hyeong] Once, climb just once. -[Park Jin-yong] Let's go.

-[Jung-myung] You can do this. -[Jin-hyeong] Pull up just once.

[all cheering]

-[shouts] -[man] Oh!

[Jin-hyeong] Well done, well done.

-No. -Well done, well done.

[Master] Kim Da-young is out.

-[Hae-min] Well done, well done. -[Jin-hyeong] Well done, well done.

[Da-young] Yeah.

Originally, my plan was to hang on for longer.

But my feet slipped, I tried to grab on but my hands were exhausted

and had no grip. "Ah, I'm done."

[ominous music playing]

[Sun-ho] Wow. Whoa, he's really relaxed.

-The other guy's getting tired. -His feet, he's using them well.

-[Sun-ho] Wow. -[Park Jin-yong] Hee-dong looks tired.

[Jin-hyeong] Of course he's tired.

[Hee-dong] Ah, I was panicking quite a bit.

When we train, we go up, touch the top, come down and that's it.

But here, I had to use my feet to keep hanging on.

But wrestlers can use their feet.

-Wrestlers don't use their feet. -They don't use them to climb.

Yeah. If you use your feet, you can keep going.

-Right? -If you can use your feet.

You have to hook your legs, Dooly's brother Hee-dong.

[Hee-dong] I somehow managed but not so well,

and I knew it was gonna get even harder.

I looked to the side and when I saw him, I thought, is he even tired at all?

I was very tired, so tired,

but he looked so relaxed.

[thrilling music playing]

Him, the guy on the left, him, he's an expert at hanging.

-[Jung-myung] Min-cheol, he's too relaxed. -[Jin-hyeong] He knows what to do.

Yeah. He knows how to hang on.

[Park Jin-yong] How to hang on a rope.

-[Bo-mi-rae] Let's last an hour. -Okay, okay, nice, nice.

[Min-cheol] When we train for rescue missions,

they lower the rope for us and it felt a lot like that.

[Jin-hyeong] He's using his body instead of his arm.

-[Woo Jin-yong] That's it. That's it. -[Jung-myung] Wow…

[Da-young] Let's go, Hee-dong. You can do it.

[Sun-ho] Breathe.

[Hae-min] Whoa, he's taking it easy.

[Sun-ho] That's good, that's good, that's good.

[Hae-min] He keeps resting his arms. That's why he's more-- Oh.

[Hee-dong] Whoa, shoot.

-Whoa, shoot. -[contestants cheering]

[woman] Yay!

[excited yelling]

Yeah.

[man] Wow…

[all cheering]

-Yay! -Whoa, I knew it.

-Wow. -Okay.

-[Bo-mi-rae] Wow. -[Sung-hoon] Whoa, I knew it.

If he can do that, you can trust your life with him.

-It was his game. -[Da-young] First place. Well done.

-[A-reum] Good job. -Aren't you tired?

What? I'm still fine.

-You did great. -Oh, gosh.

-Ah, so cool, so cool. -Whoa, Hee-dong lost.

Wow.

Whoa, that was an awesome match.

Min-cheol's performance was just so mind-blowing.

If he's on a mountain rescue team,

I feel so safe going to hike in the mountains.

To be honest, I could have lasted more than one hour.

[Min-cheol] I reached the final

and I think I can promote ice climbing to more people.

I'm so happy right now.

[Master] The survivor of The Wings of Icarus is Kim Min-cheol.

-[woman whoops] -[energetic shout]

[Sung-bin] Okay, okay.

[man] He's seriously so good.

[Hee-dong] I was confident about this game but I lost.

And it wasn't even close.

I looked to the side and he was so comfortable.

And that was depressing because looking at him,

I knew I could never win.

I knew I was gonna lose.

It's sad but I gotta admit it.

I was like a frog in the well.

[A-reum] I'm gonna try to improve myself and become a better player in the future.

It was such an honor to be here.

[Da-young] I'm gonna go back to my job and work hard on action movies. Goodbye.

[pensive music playing]

THE PUNISHMENT OF ATLAS, JO JIN-HYEONG

THE FIRE OF PROMETHEUS, PARK JIN-YONG

THE WINGS OF ICARUS, KIM MIN-CHEOL

[Sung-bin] It looks really hard.

Ah, this is gonna be tough.

This, this one is gonna be really difficult.

[Master] This quest is The Tail of Ouroboros.

-[applause] -[man whoops]

[Sun-ho] Go, go.

-Good luck. -Okay.

Go, go. Go, go.

[Bo-mi-rae] Please win. You have to win.

Let's go. Good luck.

-Go. -Good luck.

-See you later. -I'll do my best.

-Let's go, let's go, let's go. Go, go. -Good luck.

Hey, go do it. Show them, Jung-myung.

-Go, go, go, go. -Cho Jung-myung.

Good luck.

A luger must have well-rounded physical abilities

in all manners and forms,

so I'll just show what I can do. I'll do my best.

Every competition is about confidence.

[Han-saem] I'm really confident in playing catch-the-tail and I'm gonna do my best.

I think I can beat them all.

I have a fractured rib.

CHA HYUN-SEUNG, DANCER

[Hyun-seung] It hurts a lot even when I walk fast or go down the stairs

so it won't be my 100 percent but I'm gonna do my best.

I used to be on the national snowboarding team,

and now I'm doing CrossFit.

[Woo Jin-yong] But it helps me to give out stamina, strength and speed.

If I add the sense of balance I get from snowboarding,

I'm gonna win for sure.

-[Sun-ho] Let's go, Han-saem. -[Jin-hyeong] Let's go, let's go.

-[Park Jin-yong] Go! -[Sun-ho] Nice, nice, Han-saem.

[Ki-kwan] They're all topless.

[Park Jin-yong] Looking handsome.

Jeong Han-saem. Whoo! Good luck.

Cho Jung-myung.

Looking good, looking good.

[Ki-kwan] Go, Cha Hyun-seung. You can do it.

[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, let's go.

[Ki-kwan] Uh, I think they'll all good runners.

[Jin-hyeong] Ah, but he looks fast, his body, right?

[Da-young] He looks really freaking fine.

[rock music playing]

[Master] The Tail of Ouroboros is a circular catch-the-tail quest.

You must tag the person in front of you to eliminate them.

The one person to survive without getting tagged moves on to the next round.

-Which clan is Jung-myung from? -Whoa, this is really cool.

Ah, this is too cruel.

They have to run not to get caught and run to catch the one in front.

[Sun-ho] So if someone speeds up, the rest have to speed up to,

not to get caught or they will all get caught.

[Sung-bin] The person behind you matters the most.

[Sik] It's gonna be really tough if someone fast is behind you.

It's a headache if you're ahead of a fast runner.

The one ahead doesn't matter, the one behind you does.

[Sung-bin] But none of them are super fast, right?

[Sik] I think all four are about the same.

[Sung-bin] They'll probably similar.

[Sik] Yeah, it's about who gets tired first.

[Sung-bin] Yeah.

[Master] Contestants, head to the starting line.

CHA HYUN-SEUNG

WOO JIN-YONG

JEONG HAN-SAEM

CHO JUNG-MYUNG

Oh, number one.

[Ki-kwan] Ah, he must be nervous.

NUMBER 1, CHA HYUN-SEUNG

[Hyun-seung] I gotta survive somehow.

Hang in there, my ribs, hang in there.

Woo Jin-yong is a CrossFitter so he'll have a lot of energy.

So I have my eyes on him.

-[Min-cheol] Woo Jin-yong, good luck. -[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, good luck.

[Sung-hoon] Come on.

[Woo Jin-yong] Let's not get caught. Let's not get too over-paced.

I'll just keep a good pace,

and catch up when the others are tired.

I really have a chance this time.

Han-saem, watch your pace.

-[Han-saem] Got it. -[Sun-ho] Okay?

[Han-saem] Yes.

There's no one I want to avoid.

I'm confident I'm gonna win the first place.

[Han-saem] I'm gonna do my best to win.

-Number four's nice. -Ah, Cho Jung-myung.

[Hae-min] Kill them all.

[Park Jin-yong] Jung-myung, it's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna do my best, so I won't regret them later.

You are gonna see how hard I'm gonna fight without giving up.

[Master] Physical: 100…

Oh, shoot, that scared me.

…The Tail of Ouroboros will begin.

-Focus, focus. -Go, go.

-Good luck. -You can do it.

-You can do it no matter what. -Good luck.

-[Park Jin-yong] Let's go, Jung-myung. -[Da-young] Cho Jung-myung.

[Jin-hyeong] Let's run.

[exhaling nervously]

[whistle blows]

-[Bo-mi-rae] Let's go. -[Min-cheol] Let's go.

[Hae-min] Wow.

-[whistle blows] -[Min-cheol] Let's go.

[man 1] Wow.

[man 2] Whoa…

[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, go.

This is too scary to watch.

He's fast, over there.

[man exclaiming in awe]

[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, go.

That's it, that's it. Catch him, catch him.

-[Hee-dong] He's speeding up. -[Ki-kwan] Hey, he'll get you.

-[man] You might as well be walking. -He's speeding up, he's speeding up.

-[man 1] He's speeding up. -[man 2] Whoa, this, hey, this is scary.

[Da-young] Cho Jung-myung, good luck.

[Park Jin-yong] Come on, hey, come on, Cho Jung-myung.

[Jung-myung] I wanted to speed up from the start

so I could catch him quick.

I want to stir it up at the beginning.

If the person behind can't keep up,

like when you're training triceps, it gets tiring.

I'm gonna run at 80 to 90 percent from the start.

-They'll be out of breath. -Yes.

It's a hardcore mind game,

so from the start, you have to drain them

or it'll become harder for everyone.

[Jung-myung] I'll just focus on the person ahead.

[upbeat music playing]

[Sung-hoon] Two laps, the second lap.

[Sung-bin] Ah, it looks tiring already.

[Park Jin-yong] Turn the corner and look the other way,

-don't look back, Jung-myung. -[man] Yes, yes, yes.

-[Jin-hyeong] Look only ahead, only ahead. -[Park Jin-yong] Yes, yes, yes, yes.

-[Da-young] Go straight, go straight. -[Hae-min] Ah, he's going, he's going.

[Park Jin-yong] Nice, nice, keep that up, keep that up, keep that up.

Even if they speed up, they still can't catch the person in front.

-Right, because of the distance. -Hey, breathe, okay, okay, okay.

-[Bo-mi-rae] Go, Woo Jin-yong. -[Min-cheol] Go, Woo Jin-yong.

[ragged breathing]

[Hee-dong] Ah, he's feeling his ribs.

Hyun-seung won't.

-I don't think he'll last long. -He's behind you.

[Hae-min] His ribs must be hurting.

[Ki-kwan] Hyun-seung, it's okay, you're doing well.

-He's touching his ribs. -Oh, dear, oh, dear.

His ribs, his ribs.

[Hae-min] Oh, gosh. Don't overdo it, don't overdo it,

-don't overdo it. -[Park Jin-yong] Don't push.

-[Da-young] Cho Jung-myung, go. -[Park Jin-yong] Cho Jung-myung, breathe.

[Da-young] Breathe, you're doing well.

[Bo-mi-rae] Ah, this is rough.

[Jin-hyeong] You run fast at first, you get tired out.

[Bo-mi-rae] Whoa, this is…

[Hee-dong] Wow, this is getting really dragged out.

[Sik] This is much harder than I thought.

[Jin-hyeong] Keep going.

-[Hae-min] Go, Cha Hyun-seung, go. -[Sun-ho] Han-saem, breathe.

[Hae-min] Cho Jung-myung, go. Cho Jung-myung, go.

-[Da-young] Cho Jung-myung, go! -[Park Jin-yong] Breathe, hey, don't stop.

[Ki-kwan] Hyun-seung, keep going, stay strong.

Hyun-seung, go on.

[Hyun-seung] I think I was in trouble from the moment I began to run.

Because the ribs kept moving back and forth while I was breathing.

Ah, I can't do this.

I'm in too much pain.

-He was in too much pain. -Ah, that must hurt.

-It hurts too much, he can't do it. -It hurts, ah, his ribs.

[Da-young] Cha Hyun-seung, don't give up.

[Ki-kwan] It broke my heart to see him struggling,

grabbing his ribs.

[Jin-hyeong] Oh, gosh.

[Ki-kwan] Hyun-seung, hang in there.

[Jin-hyeong] He couldn't help it.

[both panting]

-[whistle blows] -[Jin-hyeong] Well done, well done.

-[whistle blows] -[Sun-ho] Well done, well done.

Good job.

[Master] Cha Hyun-seung is out.

-[Park Jin-yong] Good job. -[Hae-min] Well done, well done.

-[Hee-dong] Good job, bro. -[Jin-hyeong] Well done, well done.

-Breathe, breathe. Sit down, sit down. -The ribs must hurt so bad.

[Hyun-seung] Cho Jung-myung overtook me. I'm in last place.

I was so disappointed

that I didn't get to show my true abilities.

But on other hand, I thought,

ah, now I'm free from the pain.

Still, I do have a lot of regrets.

[Park Jin-yong] Cho Jung-myung, breathe.

[Jin-hyeong] Jung-myung, just think that you're running for an hour.

[Park Jin-yong] Go, go, Jung-myung.

[panting]

[Ki-kwan] He runs like he's gonna trip over but he is running well.

[Sun-ho] You're doing good.

[Woo Jin-yong] I had two thoughts. One was,

"Cho Jung-myung can run this well? That's not good."

And the other was, "I don't think he's pacing himself so well."

[A-reum] Han-saem, you're doing great.

[Sun-ho] Han-saem, you're doing well. You have the best pace.

[Sik] Han, Han-saem's doing better than…

He's running continuously at the same pace from the beginning.

[Kang-min] He's calm.

[Sun-ho] Yes, he's pacing himself very well.

-[Bo-mi-rae] Keep going. -[Min-cheol] Keep going.

[Sik] Jung-myung ran too fast to try to catch someone.

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, this is crazy, this game, wow.

-[Sung-bin] It's a marathon now. -[Sik] Who can last the longest.

[Sung-bin] It's a marathon now.

[Jung-myung] It was so tough.

My legs wouldn't move properly and I was out of breath.

I really wanted to give up.

-Cho Jung-myung. -Pull yourself together.

Cho Jung-myung.

[Sung-hoon] Keep doing that, keep doing that. Stay, just that.

[Park Jin-yong] Jung-myung, if you keep running, your breathing will ease,

keep going.

[heaving]

[Jung-myung] Oh, shoot.

-Do it. -No.

-No, no, run, run. -Run, hey.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

-Are you gonna go home? -Keep running, keep breathing, Jung-myung.

-[Hae-min] Run, run. -Keep running, Cho Jung-myung.

-[Da-young] Cho Jung-myung, no. -[Park Jin-yong] Breathe, breathe.

Han-saem, that's it. Keep it like that.

-Stay there. Nice. -Keep that up and you'll get him.

-[Sun-ho] Don't overdo it. -[Sung-hoon] That's it, that's it.

-Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. -Ah, he got caught, he got caught.

[Jin-hyeong] Well done, well done, well done.

[Sun-ho] Okay, Han-saem, you gotta speed up a bit.

[Jin-hyeong] Wow, now it's just two of them.

[Bo-mi-rae] Go on.

[Master] Cho Jung-myung is out.

-Well done, Cho Jung-myung. -Good job, Jung-myung.

-You did really well. -Good job.

-[Min-cheol] Well done. -[Jung-myung retches]

[coughing]

[Jung-myung] I think I lost my mental control

after tagging Hyun-seung.

Then I sped up a bit to try to catch Jin-yong.

That ruined my breathing, rhythm and pace.

It ruined the rest of the race.

[triumphant music playing]

[Hae-min] Ah, this is hell.

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, this is hell, for real.

[Sun-ho] I think you should speed up a bit now.

-[Ki-kwan] Go, Han-saem. -[Sung-hoon] He's right there.

-He's right in front of you. -[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, do it.

[Park Jin-yong] Jin-yong, you're good at this.

[Jin-hyeong] Let's go.

[Woo Jin-yong] It was tiring.

But it's definitely not just me, it was hard for both of us.

[Han-saem] I controlled my breathing as I ran but it was still so hard.

[Hee-dong] You can do it.

-[Sung-hoon] Go on. -[Hae-min] He's really fit.

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, they're both so amazing.

-[A-reum] You got this. -[Sun-ho] Focus.

-[Hae-min] Whoa, this is amazing. -[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, this is crazy.

-Both of them are really good. -[Hae-min] Wow, amazing.

[laughing] It's so hard to watch.

Ah, I hate this so much, man.

[Woo Jin-yong] All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.

"Was he in track and field?" I just couldn't get him.

-[Park Jin-yong] Han-saem's doing so well. -[Sun-ho] Han-saem.

[Jin-hyeong] He's a great runner, a great runner, wow.

-[Bo-mi-rae] You got this. -[Ki-kwan] Go, go.

-[Sun-ho] Nice, nice. -[Min-cheol] Woo Jin-yong, go.

-[Sun-ho] Go, Han-saem. -[Bo-mi-rae] Woo Jin-yong, go.

-Go, go. -Jin-yong, you can do it.

Go, go.

[Jin-hyeong] It's an endless hell.

This is-- It ends when one of them is out of energy.

Wow, that was… It was scary.

-[A-reum] You can do it, keep going. -[Sun-ho] Come on, you can do it,

you can do it.

[Hae-min] You're almost there. The distance is shortening.

[Park Jin-yong] Ah, this is too cruel.

[Jin-hyeong] It's really cruel, this, really.

[Hae-min] It's the worst when just two are left.

[Jin-hyeong] Oh, this is crazy.

[suspenseful music playing]

To catch Jin-yong,

I had to run almost an extra lap.

So it was mentally so hard. And Jin-yong…

was a better runner than I thought.

-He has another lap to cover. -Yes, he has to catch up by this much.

-[Da-young] Wow, wow, wow. -[A-reum] Run a bit more.

[Sun-ho] Han-saem, you need to speed up.

-[Ki-kwan] He's closing in. -[Min-cheol] Woo Jin-yong, keep going.

[Hae-min] Wow, Jin-yong's a great runner.

[Da-young] Uh, ah, seriously, he's not far behind now.

[A-reum] I think he's at a disadvantage.

Hey, run. Run.

[contestants exclaiming]

[cheering]

[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, he's doing a roll, he's rolling over, that's awesome.

[Hae-min] That was cool.

Well done.

Well done. Well done.

Wow, that was cool.

-He still had some energy left. -Hey, he had more energy, wow.

-No, he was waiting for the right timing. -Ah, he waiting for the timing?

The distance, he was measuring the distance.

He measured the distance.

Man, he sped up so awesome at the end there.

Oh. I got chills.

[Hae-min] It was just like a lion came out to catch an impala in the wild.

Ah, it was so, so amazing.

[Woo Jin-yong] I'm in the top five out of 100 of such impressive people?

That's amazing.

[Master] The survivor of The Tail of Ouroboros is…

-[Jin-hyeong] Nice, nice. -…Woo Jin-yong.

-[triumphant yell] -[Jin-hyeong] Nice, yes.

[all cheering and applauding]

[Han-saem] It's a bittersweet feeling, yeah.

I'm taking a lot with me and I learned a lot.

I had such a great time. I was so happy.

One hundred people took part in this and I got into the top 20.

[Hyun-seung] I was proud of myself and I had so much fun.

Now that I'm out, it feels like I woke up from a dream.

People showed interest in me, Jin-yong, and the luge, the sport.

We're gonna work harder so you can continue to support us

and our career as lugers.

[Master] Contestants participating in The Punishment of Sisyphus,

please enter the arena.

-[Kang-min] Ah, this is not gonna be easy. -[A-reum] These guys are incredible.

[Bo-mi-rae] Isn't this basically the final?

[Ki-kwan] Ah, this is going to be fun. I'm really looking forward to this.

Let's go.

-Now, let's have some fun, let's go. -Let's go.

[Sung-bin] The Punishment of Sisyphus.

This should be fun to watch. We'll foam at the mouth.

[Hae-min] I have to beat three people.

[Sun-ho] When I heard just one person can survive, ah, this is too rough.

Ah, it's too tight a match.

[Sung-hoon] Everyone has such a great body, so I thought it'd be fun.

Let's have fun, do not get hurt, don't get hurt, have fun.

-Yes, thank you. -Okay.

Let's not get squashed by the rock.

It's 100 kilograms so be really careful, really.

[tense music playing]

-[Park Jin-yong] Looking good. -[Jin-hyeong] Go, go.

[all cheering]

-Good luck. -Good luck.

[Han-saem] Good luck.

[Da-young] Good luck.

You guys are awesome.

This, this is higher than I thought. Wow, gosh.

When I entered the arena, the slope was steeper than I'd thought.

Just climbing there was already hard,

so how am I gonna do this with a 100-kilogram rock?

[Sung-hoon] I got really nervous.

[A-reum] This is gonna be really rough.

[Ki-kwan] It must be tiring to just run up and down.

[Sik] It's gonna be even harder.

This is gonna be so dang tiring, so dang tiring.

They're all gonna be dead.

[Master] The Punishment of Sisyphus is a quest

where contestants must roll a 100-kilogram boulder up a hill.

-Wow. -It's a rough punishment.

[Jin-hyeong] Oh.

[Master] The one person who continues to keep the boulder rolling will survive.

[Han-saem] Wow, this is crazy.

[Master] Contestants, head to the starting line.

[shouts of support]

Sexy-yama, you got this. [laughing]

Go, Yun Sung-bin.

[Master] Physical: 100, The Punishment of Sisyphus will begin.

[supportive exclaiming]

[Sung-hoon] You have to go out there without thinking about losing.

I'm thinking about winning no matter what.

Since I came this far, I'm gonna be ambitious, I'll try to win.

Right now, I'm thinking that I'm gonna win 100 percent.

If you think about stamina among the four of us,

I think I have a good chance.

[tense music rising]

[alarm buzzes]

-[Jin-hyeong] Let's go. -[Han-saem] Nice, nice.

[man] Go!

[Jin-hyeong] I told you Hae-min will do well.

Yes, Hae-min, that's it, Hae-min.

Go slowly, go slowly, that's it.

[light music playing]

[grunts]

[panting]

[clock trilling]

[Ki-kwan] Wow, they got it.

Nice, nice.

[Da-young] It's cool to see the four of them lined up like that.

-They look like the Avengers. -They really do look amazing.

Don't they?

-This is gonna make us sweat a bit. -Yeah.

-[Hae-min] Yes. -Seriously.

[Sung-hoon] The 100-kilogram rock, it's so heavy.

It's much heavier than I thought so it's harder than I thought.

[A-reum] Good luck.

-[whistle blows] -[Hyun-seung] Good luck.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Hurry, hurry, hurry. -[Ki-kwan] Good luck.

-[Han-saem] Nice, nice. -[Hyun-seung] Good luck.

-[Ki-kwan] Good luck. -[Woo Jin-yong] Hurry, hurry, hurry.

[Han-saem] Nice, nice.

[tense music playing]

[Sik] Okay.

Go, go, go. Go.

[Woo Jin-yong] They're controlling their breathing. They're being careful.

[Jin-hyeong] Yes, there's no need to rush. This is a long game.

[huffs]

Hey, focus on your own game. Don't look at the others.

Ma Sun-ho, looking good.

[Han-saem laughs]

[whistle blows]

[Sik] Go, go, go, go.

[Sung-bin] Oh, shoot.

Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot.

[Hyun-seung] He's getting pushed back, he's getting pushed back.

[Sik] Concentrate, focus.

[Ki-kwan] I think you should use both hands.

[Hee-dong] Yeah, like that, roll, roll, roll, roll.

[Jin-hyeong] Yun Sung-bin's arms are exhausted.

That's because he used his arms.

Arm muscles get tired easily so you shouldn't be pushing too hard.

[men panting]

[whistle blows]

[all grunting]

[Jung-myung] He's using his lower body. He's rolling it with his lower body.

[Jin-hyeong] Yeah, he's good. Good, go slow, yes.

Ah, you need to use your lower body like that.

His lower body is strong beyond your imagination.

[Jin-hyeong] Look at Hae-min. He doesn't stretch out his arms.

Hae-min was next to me.

He was a cyclist and he has a great lower body.

[Sun-ho] I knew his skills, so he was on my radar the most.

[Sik] Go, go, go, go, go.

[Jin-hyeong] Look at Hae-min, look at that.

Hae-min's doing well, look, that's it.

[all panting]

Jung Hae-min's body moved faster than it looked.

[Sung-hoon] He's fit and strong.

You can tell when you see his posture.

He's no joke. We know this is a physical battle.

[huffs]

[Han-saem] Nice.

-[Sik] Breathe, breathe, breathe. -[pants]

They got the feeling, all of them. This isn't easy.

[laughs]

Wow.

Let's do this, all of us.

-[Sik] Go, go, go. -[contestants] Good luck.

-Yeah. -Go, Sexy-yama.

-[whistle blows] -[all grunting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunting continues]

[pants]

[ragged breathing]

-[Sik] Go, go. -[Jin-hyeong] Whoa, they're all good. Wow.

Keep going.

Keep going.

[whistle blows]

-[Da-young] Wow. -[Sik] Nice, Sung-bin, nice.

[all panting]

[Sik] Nice, nice, breathe, Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

[inquisitive music continues]

[ragged breathing]

Sun-ho's doing well too.

If I did this, I'd throw up.

[ragged breathing]

-[Sik] Ten seconds. -[Sung-hoon] Shoot.

[Sik] Ten seconds.

[Sung-hoon panting]

[laughs]

[Da-young] You got this.

[whistle blows]

[breathing with exertion]

-[Jin-hyeong] That's it, that's it. -[Sik] Good luck.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Go, go. -[A-reum] Ma Sun-ho.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Nice. -[Han-saem] Nice.

[Sik] Breathe, breathe, breathe.

[Hee-dong] Nice, nice.

-[Ki-kwan] Whoa. -[Hee-dong] Nice, nice.

-[Ki-kwan] Whoa, sexy. -[Park Jin-yong] How cool.

-[Hee-dong] He's Iron-bin. -[A-reum] Amazing shoulders.

[Kang-min] He could just enter a bodybuilding competition.

It looks like his shoulders are pumped up.

[Hee-dong] It's like he's wearing coconut shells.

-Wow, seriously. -Like me?

Yeah. Of course.

[both laugh]

[ragged breathing]

[whistle blows]

[Kang-min] Go, go, go, go, go.

-[Sik] Oh, nice, Sung-bin. -[exclaiming, impressed]

Good, good, good.

Looks like it's better to climb up faster.

-To just climb up. -Rather than drag it out.

-[Da-young] You can do it. -[A-reum] Go get it.

[all exclaiming]

[exclaiming continues]

[Woo Jin-yong] Go.

[Sik] Ten seconds to go. Ten seconds to go.

[Min-cheol] Good luck.

-[Bo-mi-rae] Go, Sexy-yama. -[Jin-hyeong] Let's go, let's go.

[moaning with exertion]

-[A-reum] Ma Sun-ho. -[Han-saem] Go, Ma Sun-ho.

[rock music playing]

Brother, it's better to push with both hands,

push with both hands.

[A-reum] You can do it.

[ragged breathing]

[Han-saem] Breathe, breathe.

It's draining their energy to the last drop.

-It's really tough. -Oh, they stopped talking, even Sun-ho.

[all panting]

[Sun-ho] I weigh less than the others.

I thought it would be harder for me to roll a 100-kilogram boulder continuously.

My goal is to just beat Sung-hoon.

-[whistle blows] -[Sik] Go, go, go, go, go.

[Ki-kwan] Go, Yun Sung-bin.

-[Sik] Oh, nice, wow. -[Ki-kwan] Nice.

-[Park Jin-yong] Hae-min, let's go. -[Jin-hyeong] Hae-min.

-[Han-saem] Breathe, breathe. -[Ki-kwan] You're doing well.

[Sik] Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

[shouts of support]

[Han-saem] Use your legs, the strength of your legs.

Okay.

[thrilling music playing]

[ragged breathing]

[ragged breathing continues]

My ankle hurts, my ankle.

[Sun-ho] I had to…

I had to keep rolling a 100-kilogram rock,

but I noticed that I sprained one of my ankles.

[ragged breathing]

When I felt that pain in the ankle,

it knocked me down mentally, I think.

[panting]

Oh, no, Sun-ho. Gosh.

-[Han-saem] Go get it, MC Ma. -[whistle blows]

-[Sik] Go, go, Sung-bin, go. -Lower your upper body, that's it.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Okay, okay, okay, okay. -[Jin-hyeong] Lower your body.

That's it.

-[whistle blows] -[Sik] Go, go, Sung-bin, go.

-[Woo Jin-yong] Okay, okay, okay, okay. -[A-reum] Ma Sun-ho.

[Ki-kwan] You're doing well.

[Sik] Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe. Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

-[Han-saem] Stay strong, push. -[Hee-dong] Nice, Iron Man.

-[man] Keep going. -[woman] Fighting, fighting.

-[whoops] -[panting]

[Da-young] Go, go.

[breathing heavily]

You can do it, Sun-ho.

[ragged breathing]

[huffs]

[Sik] Ten seconds, ten seconds.

-Breathe, breathe. -Focus, focus. You can do this.

-[whistle blows] -I think you need to lower your body.

-[Sik] Go, go, go, go, go. -[Park Jin-yong] Low, low, low, that's it.

[Jung-myung] Okay, okay, okay.

-[Sik] Go, go, go, go, go. -[Park Jin-yong] Low, low, low, that's it.

[Sik] Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

[Sik] Sun-ho, you got this.

[Ki-kwan] Okay.

[Sik] Sun-ho, you're almost there, you have to push, push it.

You push it and go down. Breathe on the way down.

-[Han-saem] Go, go. -[Sik] Go, Sun-ho.

[Ki-kwan] The others have really good stamina.

[clock trilling]

[panting]

[A-reum] I think it's ten seconds away again.

-Poor Sun-ho. -[Sik] Ten seconds, ten seconds.

[Ki-kwan] Oh, gosh.

[A-reum] Good job, brother.

[Ki-kwan] Well done, Ma Sun-ho.

-It's fine, bro. You did enough. -Brother, it's okay, it's okay.

-You did so well. -Come back down, bro.

-Ah, I'm sorry, team. -No, no, it's fine.

[Sun-ho] I can't breathe.

[Sun-ho] I feel bittersweet.

I got a bit emotional, actually.

During the match, there were times when things didn't go as I wished.

-[ragged breathing] -[shouts of support]

[Sun-ho] I couldn't breathe and I was exhausted.

I got so frustrated when I couldn't move.

But I had friends cheering for me

and not just my team but all the contestants up there were rooting for me,

and the power of that support was really big.

You really can't discount that.

The pain was gone for a moment.

That's why I could focus until the end.

Ma Sun-ho, you did well.

MC Ma, you were awesome.

-[Jin-hyeong] Good job. -[Ki-kwan] Well done.

[Jin-hyeong] Ah, this is tough, yeah.

"Ah, I should've just pushed once more then" when it was over.
