(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

WOMAN: Our entire Lego life has been building up to this.

WOMAN 2: Lego reconnected me with who I am.

(DISTANT CHILD LAUGHTER)

MAN: When I'm putting bricks together,

the whole world disappears.

MAN 2: In today's world, where everything is digitised,

it's nice to be able to create a practical artform.

(BEEPING)

WOMAN 3: I'm so nervous about having to build for Brickman.

MAN 4: This is like the ultimate challenge.

MAN 5: Just being on 'Lego Masters'

is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

WOMAN 4: If you can click two bricks together,

you can build anything.

MAN 6: For me, Lego is my mantra.

WOMAN 5: It's on. Game on.

I love unicorns and rainbows. Anything that goes "ah!"

Whoa.

HAMISH BLAKE: And so begins a new chapter

in the greatest Lego saga of all time.

I feel you're on the cusp of something amazing.

Eight remarkable Lego duos

all vying for the ultimate title.

This is gonna be our season.

We're here to build some incredible Lego.

Season three - it's a definitely a level above a level above a level.

MAN: We are not your traditional Lego builders.

Whoa, dude.

Together, we'll witness pure Lego wizardry.

(ALL CHEER)

I don't think I've ever made anything this complex out of Lego.

The benchmark is now there.

But winning won't be easy,

because this year, we've taken everything to the next level.

Oh no! I mean yay!

It needs to be epic.

No! (BLOWS RASPBERRY)

No pressure!

(GROWLS) What am I going to do?

Get ready for a mind-blowing symphony of Lego magic...

(DRAMATIC STRINGS MUSIC)

(MUSIC SWELLS)

..where the unexpected is always near...

Ta-da! Whoa!

Hi, guys.

..and no-one's ever really gone.

(RETRO MUSIC)

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

MAN: No, no!

WOMAN: Oh, my god, I know that jacket!

KALE: It's time to get serious.

♪ Bow, bow. ♪

Lego friends! Best friends!

It's time to get serious. Brick, brick, brick, brick!

(WHOOSHES) (WHOOSHES)

Time to get... Time to get... Time to get serious.

(LAUGHTER) WOMAN: He's so cute!

If it's fun, it's fun. Look at this!

The atmosphere is absolutely electric.

(RECORD SCRATCHES) KALE: Get serious.

Jordy, you missed a bit.

When do we change gear? Now.

Welcome to a world where even the wildest dreams

can become a show-stopping plastic-brick reality.

The pressure is on now.

Oh!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Another crisp high-five.

MAN: Whoa! MAN 2: Yeah!

MAN 3: Yes!

It's art. You made art out of Lego bricks.

That is awesome.

Well done.

This is 'Lego Masters'.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Marking.

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

Good luck, mate.

Alright.

(BOTH LAUGH)

MAN: Right, ready to go?

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

(CONTESTANTS SCREAM AND CHEER)

WOMAN: Oh, my god.

WOMAN 2: Here we go. Here we go. MAN: Oh, yeah.

MAN 2: Whoa, whoa.

WOMAN 3: Go, go! MAN 3: Go, go!

(CONTESTANTS SQUEAL AND LAUGH)

Guys, come on in. Wow!

Welcome. Oh.

Yes! (CONTESTANTS CHATTER)

MAN: We are here. Ahoy!

CONTESTANTS: Hey! (WOMEN LAUGH)

Oh, my god!

(LAUGHTER)

Whoa!

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHS)

(ALL LAUGH)

Guys, officially, welcome to 'Lego Masters' season three!

(ALL CHEER)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Give yourselves a round of applause.

And you're here.

(EXHALES) How is everyone feeling?

Whoa! WOMAN: Awesome.

Oh, my gosh. Excited, nervous.

Alright, well, I mean, this... This is season three.

Last season,

we took things up a notch. This season,

we are taking things up...

..to a whole new level.

CONTESTANTS: Ooh.

Yeah. And on that level...

..you should expect the unexpected.

(LAUGHTER) Alright,

we have got 16 of the most passionate Lego builders

in Australia in this room.

We have got one passable television host.

(LAUGHTER) We have also got the only...

..Lego-certified professional in the Southern Hemisphere, Brickman!

(CONTESTANTS CHEER)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

All of our fabulous people that are watching this show

are wondering, "What are they gonna make?

"What's their passion? What are they capable of?"

And it's your love of the brick and love of Lego

that we're gonna enjoy.

We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Alright, Jess and Anthony,

how are you guys feeling? This is unreal.

This is like... This has been a three-year journey for me.

Like, my mum told me,

"Oh, you know they're making a show called 'Lego Masters'"

And then we saw, you know, the ads on TV, and we saw the,

"Doosh, doosh, doosh." I was just like,

"This is, like, the next big show.

"This is what I wanna be on. This is, like, my dream."

Going with the promo.

(LAUGHTER)

Sarah and Fleur.

Hi. Hi.

Welcome, guys. I'm really excited to meet you.

(LAUGHTER)

Both of you. But... I mean...

Probably more Brickman. I mean, I... (LAUGHTER)

I'm a mum, and this is right up there with giving birth today.

(LAUGHTER)

Yeah, it's awesome building Lego with my son. It bonds us.

He's four, and he loves it.

But for me, to be able to just come here and play

but not play with trains is really exciting!

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, in about 14 builds' time,

one team in here

will win 100 grand.

(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND LAUGH)

You'll also be crowned Lego Masters Australia

and walk away with probably the most important thing,

the snazzy yellow trophy.

(ALL CHEER)

Nothing can take away the glory of holding aloft a yellow Lego trophy.

I'm gonna gaffer tape the trophy to the top of my car,

and I'm gonna drop my son off at school. It's gonna be...

I'm gonna put lights in it.

They're gonna see. They're gonna say, "That's the cool... cool mum."

But today, at the start of the season,

you are playing for something sacred

and very important. (LAUGHTER)

Here it comes.

(HEAVENLY MUSIC)

Psych.

It's actually coming out of the wall.

(LAUGHTER AND ALARM BLARES)

Expect the unexpected!

I've got you already!

I've got you already!

(CONTESTANTS CHEER)

(ALARM BLARES) MAN: Whoa!

Very unexpected

and next level.

Guys, come on over.

(GASPS) You can come over.

SCOTT: That brick is going, "Vroom, vroom."

I'm like, "Whoa, dude! What's goin' on there?"

Were you guys expecting the Golden Brick?

Probably, yeah? CONTESTANTS: Yeah.

Eh! Expect the unexpected. What have I told you?

(LAUGHTER)

Ladies and gentlemen...

BOTH: Ooh.

..please behold...

(MAN LAUGHS) WOMAN: Oh, my god.

(HISSES)

(LAUGHTER)

WOMEN: Ooh, ooh.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..the Platinum Brick.

(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND LAUGH)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It's so cool. It's so cool.

This is the Platinum Brick. Like the Golden Brick,

it will give you immunity in an elimination.

However, last year you had to play the Golden Brick before a build.

This year, you will build,

see everyone else's builds,

hear Brickman's critique...

(ALL EXCLAIM)

..then you get to decide if you will play the Platinum Brick.

Oh, my god. It is an insane amount of power

that will see you going far in this competition.

I want that brick. (LAUGHS)

I want that brick.

Ryan, I want that brick.

I'll do my best to get it for you.

Get a good look at it.

WOMAN: Wow! Breathe it in.

Behold it. Get a good look.

That's enough.

(LAUGHTER)

It can't be exposed to human air for too long.

It's OK. That is a Platinum Brick.

That is what you're playing for today.

Wow! OK.

Alright, you guys know what you're playing for.

Would you like to see your first build?

ALL: Yes!

I thought you might say that. Please come with me.

Let's go down the back. Let's have a look.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

Come in here.

MAN: Oh, my god.

(CHEERING) No way!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND SHOUT)

It's a train!

(CHEERING)

It's a train!

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, my gosh! My son's gonna freak!

(LAUGHTER)

Amazing!

(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)

Have a look here. Take a look around.

Oh, my god!

Get a good look at this world. Yes!

MEN: Whoa!

WOMAN: It's beautiful.

(WHISTLE BLOWS) ANTHONY: Look at the mountains.

Like, look at the island. It's so detailed.

Look at, even, the bridge.

Look at the design. WOMAN: Whoa, that's cool.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

The trees. It's real clean. It's real cute.

So very cute.

(BOTH GASP) A train!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Alright, you guys have had a look. You are in the presence

of the first build,

but what's it all about?

This build is quite simply called

'Stop in Your Tracks'.

(GASPS)

MAN: Hmm.

As you can see, we have an incredible vista here.

There are eight squares that detach.

Your challenge for this build is to simply...

..build something on your square

that would make someone in that train go "wow".

Oh! WOMAN: OK.

That would make them stop in their tracks.

So, we're, of course, looking for storytelling,

aesthetics and technical ability.

And when I say technical ability,

I'm not talking about just Lego Technic.

I'm talking about the way in which you use Lego bricks.

Basically showing off just how well you know Lego.

There is one more thing I need to tell you.

We've seen what we're playing for...

..the Platinum Brick.

A brick of incredible power

and wonder.

But when we have the light, we have the dark.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

For every positive, there's, unfortunately, a negative.

Oh dear. That's how the world works.

There is another brick in play.

Ooh.

One moment. Let me go and get it.

(LAUGHTER) Oh no!

(TENSE MUSIC)

CONTESTANTS: Ooh.

WOMAN: Oh! Oh! (LAUGHS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

(LAUGHTER) Freaking out.

(LAUGHTER) Oh no. Oh, my gosh.

In one of these bags

is a brick ye doth not wish to draw.

(LAUGHTER)

For within one of these bags...

..is the Brick of Doom! (THUNDER BOOMS)

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(LAUGHTER)

A brand-new invention this season. No!

If you draw the Brick of Doom...

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

..unfortunately, you...

..will place upon your team...

..a curse.

Oh... Great.

But, unfortunately, nothing we can do.

That's the rules of the universe. (LAUGHTER)

On top of the curse, there's also a punishment.

(CONTESTANTS GROAN AND LAUGH)

It's a double-header. WOMAN: Of course.

I will reveal the punishment when we find out who's drawn

the Brick of Doom.

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS) Oh no.

So, one by one, a representative from each team

must come out and take a bag.

Scott, go for it. (SIGHS)

Oh!

So, I completely trust you, Scotty. No pressure.

Interesting choice there, straight up.

(LAUGHTER)

Whoo! (MAN GROANS)

We're not gonna pull the bad brick. Oh, I hope not.

Sar. You know I'm old.

If we pull the Brick of Doom, we don't have much going on.

You sure you want that one?

(CONTESTANTS LAUGH AND EXCLAIM)

Yes, I want this one.

Alright. Be a right bag.

Got this.

Ooh. Oh, boy.

Ooh. (LAUGHTER)

Where you gonna go?

WOMAN: Go, Jess. Go, Jess.

(LAUGHTER) ANTHONY: Oh no!

Ooh, OK. (LAUGHTER)

Don't screw up. You got this.

I mean, fate has chosen this for you now.

I hope fate has not...

..delivered you... We'll see.

..the Brick of Doom!

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

(LAUGHTER)

Do not open the bag until instructed to do so.

We're going to do it one at a time.

(CONTESTANTS GROAN)

Scott and Owen, you picked first.

Yeah. Ready? (GROANS)

(WHISTLES) Reveal your brick.

(EXHALES AND YELPS)

(LAUGHTER)

Yes! Safe.

(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

You will not be cursed. Thank you, Scott.

Amy.

My heart's beating.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Please... CONTESTANTS: Oh.

You are safe.

Oh shit.

(LAUGHTER) I feel like...

Oh no. Hold on a sec.

We're gonna jump to Harrison and Michael.

(LAUGHTER) What?!

That can't be good.

OK, yep.

WOMAN: Oh, come on. Come on.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) MEN: Oh, yes.

Good choice.

You are safe. (EXHALES)

I shall select who's next.

Oh, do we have the cursed brick? Yeah, we may have the cursed brick.

Sarah, let's have a look what's in your bag.

Please be white. I apologise in advance for this, OK?

Please.

Oh, thank god. (LAUGHTER)

Safety. You are uncursed!

Didn't get the curse.

Whoop, whoop, whoo! Didn't get the curse! (LAUGHS)

No punishment! (LAUGHS)

This is not good. (LAUGHTER)

Let's do Ryan and Gabby.

(CONTESTANTS GASP)

I'm so worried. Come on, Ryan.

I'm so... You do not wanna start the season

with a curse, let me tell you.

Come on, Gabby.

WOMAN: Come on.

(ALL SHOUT AND THUNDER BOOMS)

It's the Brick of Doom!

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

Oh no! Oh no.

Oh, guys, commiserations.

How am I still smiling?

(LAUGHTER)

(SIGHS)

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

I'm sorry. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

OK, the only way to break the curse is to win a challenge.

You will be free from the curse and the Brick of Doom.

This is an ongoing curse? (THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

Oh, guys, I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.

(LAUGHTER) I actually do make the rules.

Um... (LAUGHTER)

The implications of having the curse on you are, A,

just the general cursedness,

and, B, as I mentioned, there is a punishment.

(LAUGHTER)

(SNIFFS)

For as long as you hold

the Brick of Doom...

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

..you will start...

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

..five minutes behind the other teams.

CONTESTANTS: Oh! That could be the killer.

Yeah, so it's...

Not too bad.

If we're ever doing a six- or seven-minute challenge...

(LAUGHTER) Yeah, yeah.

It could be bad. ..you're in a whole lot of hurt.

(LAUGHTER)

OK, for this build...

..you have got 17 hours.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

Of course, for the Brick of Doom team...

..16, 55.

(LAUGHTER)

You have just got to build something incredible

that would grab the attention of someone on the train.

Would you guys like to start building?

CONTESTANTS: Yes!

I think it's about time. You can go.

Go for it. Good luck.

(CONTESTANTS CHATTER)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

WOMEN: Ooh! Be careful, cursed team.

Remember, you've got a curse on you.

I don't wanna see you falling over.

Although if you do, I know why you did. It's your curse.

Alright, once you've got it locked in, you...

..can also do something I know you guys have been hanging to do,

which is...

MAN: To the pit, to the pit, to the pit.

..go into the Brick Pit for the very first time.

(CHEERING) Good luck.

Go, go, go!

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

OK. CONTESTANTS: Whoa!

(ALL LAUGH AND EXCLAIM)

WOMAN: Oh, my gosh.

This is killer! Dude! Oh!

It's amazing, yes. Yeah!

Imagine all of those, like,

sleepless nights the day before Christmas

'cause you know you're getting a massive Lego set the next day.

Whoa!

And now we're in the hallowed turf of 'Lego Masters',

and we have the biggest Lego set...

..in Australia. Yeah. Yeah!

Oh!

This is the childhood dream.

Six-year-old Owen is weeping right now.

(LAUGHTER) It's just too much excitement, mate.

(SQUEALS) There's so much to choose from.

There's polar bears. Ooh, apples!

Oh, there's leaves, man!

Oh, yes!

I call it the "shiny moment". (CHUCKLES)

You go, "Ooh, shiny. Ooh, shiny. Ooh, shiny."

AMY: Ooh, shiny!

(GASPS)

Oh, I need to get in there.

As I considered the impact of what this five minutes of silence

was going to be, I was really saying,

"OK, I can use this. I can actually think during this five minutes."

They can't stop you thinking. No, they can't stop me thinking.

They can't stop you thinking.

Didn't seem like that long, five minutes, but it's...

It feels like a long time, doesn't it?

Unless Hamish comes to the table... And there's Hamish.

..and talks to me about how terrible it must be

to have to wait for five minutes.

Looking around the room, people have got Lego.

People are thinking of things.

So, we need something big, right? Yes.

Alright, what else?

What else would stop you in your tracks if you were a train?

Spaceship. Spaceship. We need to find some aliens.

Take a breath. We need to make some aliens.

(EXHALES) Breathing is...

There's no time for breathing.

Alright. Oh, gosh.

GABBY: If this build comes down to the last five minutes

and we run out of time...

It's...

Time's up. You're still cursed, but your penalty is up. You can go.

OK. (LAUGHS) Go.

Done. Alright.

We're going there. Careful on the chair.

The curse at work. Go, go, go.

Oh, wow!

Anthony, check this out. What?

There's glitter in the bricks. Oh, yeah. You love those, eh?

Oh! (LAUGHS) They're newer.

I'm basically glitter as a person.

Like, that's my life. That's what I'm about.

And there's glitter bricks in the Brick Pit!

Like... I was like... Everyone who came, I was like, "Look at this!"

Do you like science?

CHILDREN: Yeah!

I'm Jess, and I'm a science communicator.

Bubbles are round, 'cause they like to be as small as possible.

We also use Lego in our workshops.

Oh, that's great. I love your different ideas here.

I love that Lego is so accessible.

I love the imagination and creativity that Lego can provide.

(AMERICAN ACCENT) Ranger Rick...

..walks around, you know, boots out.

My name is Anthony Coates.

I'm 20 years old.

I am a massive movie buff.

That's one of the biggest reasons I got into Lego.

Yes.

I just love looking at something

and going, 'I wanna make it look exactly like that.

A world without Lego...

..just wouldn't be worth living.

I love it so much. I love it that much. (CHUCKLES)

This is so good. (LAUGHS)

The challenge is - there's a train coming past,

and your goal is to make it stop

in front of your station. How do you do that?

Make something cool. Make something awesome.

Make something which will be eye-catching.

So, we're here.

The time you have to do it, 17 hours.

17 means you've got to go big. You've got to go massive.

Well, can we get to a metre?

That's, like, 90. A metre's up there.

OK, let me do it. Let's go for a metre.

OK. (GIGGLES) Are we crazy?

I'm thinking big mountain volcano - yes, awesome.

It's gonna be like the other mountains,

but at the top, you know, it's gonna be that moment

where they went, "Hang on, what's happening?" and... (WHOOSHES)

We wanna show that point in time of eruption,

so we want things to be, like, half-melted.

We want fireballs hitting the structures that we've got.

You know, we want people running like, "It's on fire!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Freaked out, yeah. "We weren't expecting this."

The top of this thing's gonna be so fun.

Yeah.

(MAGICAL MUSIC)

Hi. Hello, Fleur and Sarah.

How are you? (CHUCKLES) Good.

Wow, you've got some hustle.

I'm out of breath. I haven't run this much in my whole life.

(TEAM LAUGH) Alright.

I'm not a marathon girl. Well, you are now.

A Lego marathon.

Yeah. How awesome is that?

It's so exciting.

I'm definitely swooning at the sight of Brickman,

and it's not... It's not like in a romantic sense. (CHUCKLES)

It's like a scientist who's meeting Einstein.

I'm Fleur.

My name's Sarah.

And together... BOTH: we are...

..Team Mother... Team Bikini Models.

(LAUGHS) Or Team Mothership.

Oh, sorry. (LAUGHS)

Who's that one? So yummy too.

MAN: Who's that character?

My daily life revolves around looking after

my three gorgeous children...

Ice-cream, yum.

..and my absolutely awesome husband.

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Oh, it's gonna stop!

I am a full-time stay-at-home mum.

(LAUGHS)

My boy is my whole world.

But being a career woman for 20 years

and then switching to be a mum,

you almost lose yourself.

I was starting to lose my creative self.

Never in a million years would I thought it would be Lego

that reconnected me with who I am.

That is why this is so special for me.

I actually feel like me again.

My favourite part of 'Lego Masters' is when I get to hear the idea.

We are doing a Japanese geisha temple.

Giant geisha head in the middle,

and the minifigs are coming to deliver giant sushi to her

from the sushi train.

Ah.

I love the idea. Go for it.

Great stuff.

Thank you. Oh!

OK, no pressure. (BOTH LAUGH)

We know it's quite ambitious,

'cause we've not built a head before

or a geisha before,

or anything big before. Ever, ever.

So... But we figure...

go hard or go home. Exactly.

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

Come on.

I don't think you got enough brown pieces.

Yeah, I want that rock structure, man.

That's looking so good. Oh, yeah.

Thanks, man. I think it rocks. What do you...?

(LAUGHTER AND GROANING)

Just... unreal.

Actually being here and being with everyone, it's just...

..eyes were watering a little bit before.

You're gonna see me crying a lot.

I'm David. I'm from Melbourne.

I'm a project manager.

I have been collecting Lego for about 20 years now.

I had to make all this storage. I used my 3D printer.

As you can see,

I store all my Lego really organised here.

And for me, Lego is like a happy place.

I'm Gus. I'm a design engineer,

and I work in an incredibly creative team

who build large-scale animatronic creatures...

..such as dinosaurs or dragons.

Really big-scale stuff.

(ROARS)

The company I work for built the 'Walking with Dinosaurs' exhibits.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(ROARING)

I really enjoy building Lego.

I really enjoy following the rules of Lego

and also then bending those rules of Lego.

We love building Lego, we love creating art with Lego,

and we're gonna use that passion and those skills to win 'Lego Masters'.

(ROARS)

Here we go.

Yeah, imagine the train is coming.

For today's challenge, we're building a big crocodile,

just chomping on a train

while the other train is coming and seeing that terrifying scene.

Oh, boy. This build's about to go off tap.

Right. Yeah!

This 'stop the train' build is really designed

to let anyone push their imagination and their skill set,

so we're gonna really go for this.

(WHIRRING)

Ha-ha!

You're the man, Gus. Yeah.

And then we have, like,

the crystals and stuff like that kind of hanging off.

That's where I was thinking, like, magical trees and stuff like that.

More than perhaps any other year, for this first build,

it is the most open thing you can do.

Like, there are no constraints.

In terms of the skill on show,

can you tell already how good people are?

We're on another layer.

Another layer. (LAUGHS)

You can immediately tell we've got 16 highly creative people,

so that alone is worth the price of admission.

OK. For lack of a better term.

There you go. Custom piece, man.

(LAUGHS)

But, then, as we know, we've got one team building under a curse.

Oh.

Oh no.

I don't think you can train for that.

Can we get a Band-Aid?

The curse is real. Ooh.

Ryan, Gabby. Hey.

Our cursed team. Yeah.

But within the curse, how's things going?

Well, look, we've had an injury. Oh.

Yes.

What happened?

I have no idea. I think it was actually 'cause I...

You have no idea?

Well, here is the idea. (HISSES) Curse.

(SPOOKY MUSIC)

It is a rare move for a TV show to curse and punish people

before they've done anything.

But it's out of our hands.

You know, that's the laws of the... the universe.

Don't let it get in your head.

The last thing I want you thinking is that we just invented the curse

so it, like, creates drama out of nothing.

I can't imagine you'd do that.

We would not do that.

The last thing I want you to do is just be thinking about...

..the Brick of Doom.

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

Yeah, that would be disappointing, wouldn't it,

to have that constant reminder. So, you know, again, focus on here,

not the Brick of Doom. (THUNDER BOOMS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm trying to be optimistic, but I'm a little concerned.

We're not allowed to tell him to go away, are we?

No. Don't wanna distract you.

Keep it up. Brick of Doom.

(THUNDER BOOMS AND WOMAN SCREAMS)

Coming up...

Oh, wow. Look at the geisha.

..the country's best Lego builders...

Oh, that looks sick.

..unleash their imagination...

That is phenomenal.

Lego success.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

..on out-of-this-world builds...

BRICKMAN: It's one of the best mechanisms I've seen.

..that will literally stop a train in its tracks.

The train stopped. (LAUGHS)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

Whoa!

SCOTT: Wow, dramatic entry.

Where do we start? These I needed more of.

Ah! Oh no!

Oh, are you alright? Are you right?

Yeah, I've just destroyed some of the Brick Pit.

So much to do. So much to do, and there's not enough time.

Owen's got all the stress. I'm just gonna keep chilling.

Scotty, we gotta find gear number two.

Whoa, there's bricks there!

(BOTH GASP) Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. The bricks are also fine.

We gotta hit fifth, sixth, seventh gear.

We're gonna go full auto transmission, mate.

We're just gonna fly through this.

♪ Manic Owen. ♪

Your level of chill... (CHUCKLES)

..is making me nervous. Why?

'Cause you're just too chill for my level of hype.

Today's challenge is to stop a train in its tracks.

Yeah. So we're thinking something big,

something eye-catching.

We're thinkin' aliens. Aliens.

(WHISTLES)

What people always wanna know is, like, secrets.

And that's what makes you go, "Whoa, stop. Check this out."

So crash-landed spaceship.

Government trying to cover up the crash-landed spaceship.

Mothership coming in to rescue the crash-landed spaceship.

It's the government versus the mothership.

A good arch. I'd sit under that tree.

Scotty's obviously on the trees.

How great is that tree?

Like, just chilling there like...

So, we need a mothership.

(WHISTLES) (CHUGS)

OK.

Geometric lines, straight patterns. I'm an engineer.

Feel like that's my vibe. We got natural. We got yin. We got yang.

I want the mothership to spin. Yeah, yeah.

'Cause that'd be sick.

Wow. I feel like your fingers are, like, on fire.

There's some smoke happening at the rate

of building that's happening here.

Looks like we've got a UFO underway. We've got the shape.

The even pieces, I'm happy with how they fit.

I haven't yet quite figured out the odd pieces.

Octagons, man. Octagons are a nightmare.

Tough. Never done one before, but...

You've never done one before? No, that's what...

Double down on 'Lego Masters', whoo! That's it. That's it.

Exactly how high are we talking for this UFO?

Where's the...? Show me... Yeah, yeah.

Show me where you're thinking.

There?

I reckon a bit higher. Huh. (LAUGHS)

There's a huge build already on the table,

so how high does this spaceship have to be before it pops?

What, you want it up here somewhere?

Nah. I'm thinking, like, maybe about here.

In time with the bottom of the... OK.

Three shakas? Yeah.

Nah, two shakas. Two shakas, you mean?

Two shakas. Nah, I reckon we're three shakas.

Good amount of shakas up. Mm.

Season three - three shakas. I'm down for that.

Two shakas of mountain, one shaka... One shaka.

Why are we using this measurement?

One and a half shaka of the mountain.

Under my title will say engineer, and I'm measuring stuff in shakas.

(LAUGHS) (BOTH LAUGH)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Alright, guys,

you are two hours down.

15 hours to go. (CONTESTANTS GASP)

Landed it right on the second too. Oh.

Still got it. WOMAN: Still got it. (LAUGHS)

Still got it. I've still got it.

I mean, obviously, I'm practising all the time,

but I've still got it. I was gonna say, do you...

In the off-season, do you...? All the time. All the time.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Oh. (GROANS)

So strong, you broke a mountain.

Um...

Gotta have, like, a moustache. Oh! That's so cute!

(BOTH LAUGH)

Seriously, I love it.

I actually do. Oh, I'm going for scary.

This is... (LAUGHS)

No. Oh, OK. Fair enough. Sorry.

I've just failed because I told you it was cute.

So, the story of our build is that the townfolk here

have actually decided to dig a train tunnel,

and they've disturbed a yeti.

And the yeti has come down to say...

"No, you're not doing this,"

and he's reacting rather poorly.

(WHIRRING)

Yeah, it's about to stop.

Unfortunately, working under the Brick of Doom

and everything that that entails... Can't blame that for everything.

Oh, I so can.

I can't leave this to chance.

I know how much weight is gonna be sitting on top of this yet

and all of his action is actually cantilevered over this leg.

Test trial number 750.

So many gearboxes can just fall apart.

I knew that I had to make that perfect.

Alright.

Now leave it. (CHUCKLES)

It's good. It works.

Is he stable? Will he take the weight of the head?

We feel like we're the old married couple.

We just happen to be married to other people.

We're married to other people,

but I feel like the old married couple already.

My name's Gabby. I'm married to Jesse.

We met working in a ski resort together.

This is my lovely wife, Alison.

We actually met in high school. We were high-school sweethearts.

Welcome to my home Lego studio.

So, I absolutely love building trains.

Easily the thing that I get into the most.

Ryan is known as the train guy in the Lego world.

OK, I'm a nerd. Whatevs.

(LAUGHS) So beyond nerd.

I think we're the team to beat

because we bring a really different mix of skills.

I've got a bit of the technical knowledge.

You've got the artistry. I think we're in with a shot.

I reckon we probably could actually fit this in.

Whoa!

(LAUGHS) Thank you for that save and losing part of your mountain.

Oh, you were listening... Did I hear the...?

..for the bricks.

Well, did I hear the tumble of a curse?

(LAUGHS)

It did seem like that kind of fell out of nowhere.

Do you think it was 'cause of the...

..Brick of Doom?

Oh, great. I think it only...

If you whisper it, it's OK.

If you don't say it confidently, it doesn't happen.

Yeah. (ALL LAUGH)

(SPOOKY MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

Got the whole friggin' Lego room to myself.

(FUNKY MUSIC)

Oh, no, I don't. (LAUGHS) Were you just dancing?

Was just getting my jig on.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yes. OK.

Whoa. (GASPS) Shivers.

Alright, guys, you are seven hours down.

There is ten hours to go.

(WHISTLES) Now nine hours and a bit to go.

We're into the single-digit hours.

Uh-oh. You're jokin'.

One team will win the science jar

containing the Platinum Brick, a power, to this stage,

never before experienced on 'Lego Masters'.

(CONTESTANTS CHEER) Will it be you?!

(CHEERING) Huh.

What was the time call you just made?

Not that I wasn't listening. What was the time call I made?

That is the most important part of my job. You have to listen.

Seven hours down, ten hours to go. Right, OK.

Remember, I was yelling everything about the Platinum Brick.

(LAUGHS) No. And about how...

Were you paying any attention? I was there - right there.

Yeah, well, now less than ten hours.

Oh! OK. Platinum Brick's in play.

(LAUGHS) Cheers.

(MYSTICAL MUSIC)

Here we go. Whoo-hoo! (CHUCKLES)

Can we start with Sarah and Fleur?

The geisha.

That looks so good.

Yeah? You happy with that? You should be so happy with that.

In terms of eye-catching... Uh-huh.

..it's winning that contest right now, right?

It pops. It contrasts. It's interesting.

It's different.

It's original. It's so original.

It does not wanna sit in here.

What they're not great at

is they've never built anything this large before,

so there are a few technical challenges that they're facing.

(GASPS) Ooh. Ooh, lucky catch.

Amy and Dawei. Their whole build is around

this magic mountain and rainbow waterfall.

In order to build a rock, you have to think like a rock.

Can you tell yet if they have magic hands?

Well, they're both really focused just on the mountain at the moment.

They probably need to take a little step back and go,

"OK, it's time for one of us to get those show-stoppers happening."

Crocodile world - Gus and David.

I love the idea.

I hear Brickman talking to Hamish. I don't wanna be cocky,

but I'm confident.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is the most technically advanced build

out of all of our contestants so far,

and that's a great thing.

And it's going to look amazing once he's got it all together.

What I'm concerned about is it's going to be the only thing built.

I just want it to work, you know what I mean?

I just don't want it to, like, explode on television.

(BOTH LAUGH)

This is our first impression for Brickman here, and we really wanna

make a good impression. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, you just don't wanna think that you shouldn't be here,

and you really wanna do your best

and build something that deserves to be in this competition.

This big concern, really, is that a croc's mouth

is something I have worked on previously.

But never at this scale. Never at this scale.

Yeah. Not as big. Not as heavy.

So what I'm doing now is trying to reinforce

the structure of the croc to make sure it's not gonna explode.

Now let's see it coming down.

(WHIRRING)

Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

Look at this. That's awesome.

I feel like I've arrived at a moment.

You have, and you... Could well have.

Can I see it one more time? TEAM: Yeah, of course.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

That's awesome. (CHUCKLES)

ALL: Oh!

(EXHALES)

Damn.

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GASPS)

It's a stupid shape, and I never should have built a spaceship.

We are not gonna get this finished.

Stop with your negativity. (LAUGHTER)

I don't need that right now, OK?

Sorry, man. I just want love and joy.

♪ Going for a walk. ♪

Walk... Walk faster, Scotty.

Guys, big moment. You are eight hours to go.

You are at eight hours to go.

Halfway... Whoo!

..was half an hour ago.

(LAUGHTER)

Technically, I probably should have come in at eight and a half.

I haven't done this for a year,

so just sort of remembering the hang of it.

So you're past halfway!

(GROANS)

Oh. Still bumps.

Yeah, but where?

Little alien dude. Wha!

Alright, I'm gonna smash this.

Well, not smash it. Ha!

Ah!

Exactly what you didn't want to happen happened?

Yeah. Need a hand?

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

MICHAEL: So, today's challenge is 'Stop in Your Tracks',

and who wouldn't want to stop... BOTH: for a giant theme park?

That was good. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, right?

So, we're going for classic theme park.

We've got three different rides.

We've got a wild western world. We've got a space area.

We've got a haunted house.

Nothing makes people stop more than nagging kids going...

Yeah. "Mum, Mum, Mum.

"Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum." Exactly.

Hello, fellas. Oh, hey, hey.

I haven't seen it from this side.

Wild West World...

Yeah. ..looks great.

Well, does this highly unsafe ride spin?

It's very... Yes. Please don't break it.

Very advanced technology for the Wild West.

Yeah. And it just speeds up

the more it goes too, so...

Yeah, jeez, it... (CHUCKLES)

Like, some of the faces on there look terrified

as they come over. It's warranted. It's warranted.

(LAUGHS) I can absolutely understand the terror,

because you're in a bucket... We're gonna slow it down.

..that's moving at, like, 100 K's an hour.

Ride the wheel of death last. It's the last thing you'll ever do.

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

(GROANS AND GROWLS)

Grr. Yeah, grr.

I saw the mountains in the scenery and thought,

"What can we do that kind of ties in with that surrounding landscape?

And I wanted to make it pretty and magical,

so... (LAUGHS) Yeah.

Amy and Dawei, how you going? Oh.

That is colourful. Wow, right, yeah, it's a real surprise

when you come round this side. Yeah.

So, today we're building a magical mountain with miners inside,

with the beautiful rainbow, sparkly waterfall on the outside.

What are they...? What have we got inside the cave?

So far nothing. So far nothing? OK.

No, there's some things. I don't even need to look.

There's... OK. You've described it well.

(ALL LAUGH)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

FLEUR: Awesome. SARAH: Yeah?

Grateful to be your teammate.

I'm grateful to be your teammate.

You guys are so cute. I love it.

Are we cute? (LAUGHS)

Do we get extra points for cuteness?

I think we do, if there was cuteness points.

We're in a pretty good place with our geisha temple.

A bit of sushi.

The sushi's going well.

(LAUGHS)

Don't eat it, Fleur.

I really like building food - Lego food. I've always enjoyed it.

I like building faces. Faces.

Oh, wow, look at the geisha.

Getting the lines in the faces, the eyes, the eyebrows.

I've never built a face this big before in my life.

But she is totally rockin'. Her face is epic.

She needs big hair. The bigger hair, the better hair on a geisha.

Imagine this shape bouffanty, bouffanty.

But it just depends on whether I can get the bouffanty in the Lego.

(CHUCKLES) No pressure, Sarah,

but it's all about the geisha, so...

It's all about me. If it's not good...

(LAUGHS)

I'm goin' for it like a hairdresser.

Is it...? (GASPS)

Oh no! Oh!

Gosh. Oh!

It's alright. Oh!

Are they OK? I don't know.

I hope so. SARAH: It's alright.

Devastating. Oh, it's still there. It's OK.

OK. I can fix it. No stress.

I'm totally not worried. What is it to worry about?

Beautiful. It's on.

I just need to put weight on the back to make it heavy

to keep the face on so it wouldn't do another topple.

At least we won't have that happen again.

(CHUCKLES) I know better now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

One, two...

Three shakas. Three shakas.

Checks out, mate. Checks out.

There's a high degree of pressure on getting everything right.

You know? Like every brick counts, would you say?

Definitely. Right.

Can you explain to me, then, this glaring mistake you made...

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

..over here when you were building the mountain?

Tell me what you said off-camera. (CHUCKLES)

Can you guys see this bit here?

I feel great shame has been brought upon myself.

Tell everybody at home what you did.

When we're building curves... Yeah.

..and compound curves in particular...

That's right. ..you wanna take right angles

out of the equation, because they're very distracting

and the eye naturally will pick them up.

What's this... This is a right...

..disgusting...? What's this disgusting piece here?

That's a right angle. What an absolute...

..turd of a right angle.

It's driving me bonkers. Gonna fix it up?

I'm gonna... Am I allowed permission?

You can go get a brick. Alright.

Go on. Go fix it up. (CHUCKLES)

I mean, that's... You guys would've seen that from a mile away.

That... That, Hamish Blake, is what we call a stitch-up.

No, it's what we call 'admitting that we're human'.

(LAUGHS)

I built all the other side of the mountain, which is flawless.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

♪ Platinum Brick. ♪

We need a Platinum Brick song.

Not right now. You're super busy. Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

It's now divide and conquer. We've got that foundation done.

I'm doing the volcano,

that eruption up the top.

You need to get started on the ski lodge and also,

like, you know, the little details and things like that.

I think that's it. Hello, Anthony and Jess.

Oh, you've got lava.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.

We've finally got lava for our volcano.

Talk to me about the eruption.

What does that mean? Is there giant flaming rocks coming out?

Is there...? Very much so.

We're gonna probably have three giant ones and three small ones,

and then getting a mechanism in to make the fire move.

OK. The whole premise of your model is about that explosion

and that moment, 'cause that's the thing that's stopping the train.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

You really need to get that explosive moment absolutely right.

Yeah. But we wanted to get that... make, like, the base of the mountain

in first, then we could finish the top bit,

and I can then get into the details.

Yeah. Alright.

Isn't that great? (LAUGHS) Good luck. Happy days.

Yeah. Alright. Thanks, Brickman. Thanks.

I love making Lego curve when it's not meant to curve.

Can you get this on?

Oh. What do you need me to do?

Can you just put it on?

You can't get it on? No.

My name is Jeff. My name's Atlanta.

We've been dating for a year and a half.

Yeah. And we now live together.

Can you eat first?

I'm an IT consultant.

And I'm a luxury dice consultant.

People would think that there's only the six-sided die.

That's incorrect. There's many different types.

You've got your semi-precious,

your aluminium, your heavy metal.

We love Lego. Lego allows us to be completely creative.

It allows me to take something that exists only in my mind

and create it in the physical world. It's fantastic.

In Australia, we've got the big things all over the place.

We've got the giant sheep, the big rocking horse in Adelaide.

You've got the Big Pineapple in Queensland.

The Big Pineapple in Queensland. So let's make a big thing.

Why not a...

..big cheese? (LAUGHS)

It's gonna be kind of like a ziggurat type temple.

Above it is going to be this beautiful cheese god

that they worship. The issue is he's not there by choice.

They've actually chained him down,

and he's, like, melting, and they're taking bits of cheese,

and they're selling it in the cheese square.

That's the look of a man that is focused...

Oh, yeah. ..on a cheese temple.

Oh, yeah. This is the one that they've recently captured,

and they'll have started to harvest.

And then we'll have Chief Cheese over here.

Chief Cheese will be flying in to save Baby Cheesus.

This is Baby Cheesus? Gotcha.

Yeah. I'm doing some little stalls.

So, you've all got the little baby sentient cheeses.

There'll be minifigs selling... They're being sold.

..little live cheeses.

Oh. Oh.

It's a bit of a dark tale.

Just selling a live cheese. Cheese, yeah.

Vegans are gonna hate this episode. (LAUGHS)

Are you gonna stand there while they film it

You guys are building a mothership, and we are the mothership.

(BOTH LAUGH) SARAH: Oh, I like that.

We're the Team Mummy.

I want that Platinum Brick so badly.

That is such an advantage. We both desperately want it.

But it's all about that geisha face.

It does look like it's leaning forward a bit.

The head does... Maybe it's just from my angle.

No, it's not. It's fine?

So, head is back on. We're building up the back

so the weight's even across the whole build of the head.

I have a calm exterior,

but inside I was going... (BABBLES)

The most thing I'm worried about is all the time

that we've actually spent redoing the geisha face.

Are you OK?

No, it's fine. I'm just fixing something.

OK. No, don't stress.

No! (GASPS)

It's not solid enough at all. It's got to be completely block solid

and more rows of snot to...

We probably don't have time to do it, though, do we, really?

Yeah, we need to do it,

'cause otherwise the thing will fall off again.

It's really important now

that I step in and support Sarah through this.

Sorry, Fleur.

No, don't apologise.

If you're happy to focus all on that front bit,

because that's what, like, you're gonna be so great at...

Just switch roles so that I can get that face on,

get it supported, and she can move on into a happier place.

Be back in a sec. OK.

We'll be absolutely down to the wire on it, but we'll be OK.

I have one big job ahead of me, and that is

getting this yeti as shaggy

and as colourful as I possibly can.

But I can feel my anxiety levels rising.

I'm shaking.

Don't stop. Ten seconds.

Breathe.

I'm feeling a little bit doomed right now.

RYAN: Breathe.

GABBY: It is strange. I'm catching some sidelong glances.

People are staying a little further from us in the brick pit

than perhaps social distancing requires. (LAUGHS)

Oh, I'm so nervous.

You right? Yeah.

The curse has come to life.

The curse is happening.

OK. That's sick, man.

That's wicked. You've got to be happy with that.

Yeah, pretty happy with that. First UFO.

OWEN: Scotty is getting our crashed spaceship done.

That looks as delicate as I feel.

This mothership's starting to come together.

So, we've got the dome on, I've got my angles right.

But now, it has to move.

That was part of the wow to pull the eye.

I think yeah, that's the biggest thing.

If it isn't the Monopoly guy? That's so heavy.

Oh!

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Go down somewhere there.

OK.

Yes! Please turn.

(HUMMING)

Oh! (LAUGHS)

Another crisp high-five.

I thought there was something falling and it was your high-five.

Yes. Yes!

That is amazing. That looks awesome, guys.

Oh, wow. That is phenomenal.

SCOTT: Thanks, guys.

That's killer. Alright.

That looks awesome.

The relief is just...

It's like washing off of me.

UFO done.

OK, don't break, please.

Now, we've just got to do... The rest of the table.

There's not much else on the table.

A couple of trees over here. Some trees.

We've got some mini figs ready

but the gears have got to start ratcheting up

because we are running out of time.

(WHISPERS) There's no time left.

Stressing about time again.

How are you going?

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHTER) That is the spirit.

Having a motor of any kind in Lego

instantly makes you go, "Oh, that's moving."

"I want to get a closer look."

I think that's it. Are you happy?

Let's have a look.

I think that's it.

Yeah.

And for our volcano, it is that explosion,

that eruption up the top.

We wanted to make that top part spin.

Oh, that looks sick.

That's what volcanoes do, right? They explode

and that's the moment in time... You tell me. You're the scientist.

..we need to capture. (LAUGHS) That's the moment we need to capture

to be able to make this really look like a volcano.

The whole thing is wobbling a lot.

Oh, jeez.

Oh, OK. I know what that is. That's just a spring.

We can take that out but yes, it does a spin and...

It's just fast.

It's faster than we'd like.

Faster than you might see at the top of a volcano.

What are you hitting?

Stop, stop, stop. I know, I know.

I'm just trying to figure out P it's hitting all of them.

Damn it. It's hitting all of them.

Challenge accepted, mate.

I'm feeling good.

We've changed some things in the crocodile's gear ratio

that makes it function a lot smoother and a lot easier.

The crocodile's working, we're really happy with it,

we've tested it we've let it run for a long time.

It's moving and it's not breaking.

So, that's given us some confidence

that we'll have a very successful crocodile chomp in the end.

But now, we are just frantically putting in story

and trying to make sure it all makes sense.

Oh, man. I feel alive again.

Alright, guys. Keep those hands busy

as your ears hear this disappointing news for you.

You have only got 15 minutes.

(PANICKED MOAN) 15 minutes left.

Essentially, just pretend the wall says, "Almost over."

See if I can quickly make a spider.

Do we need it? Where's it going to go?

On the haunted house just to grab someone.

OK. Real quick.

Whatever you are doing, you do not have much time left to do it.

I hope you are nearly done.

The platinum brick is tantalisingly close to one of the teams in here.

Obviously, as a show, we are doing all we can

to make sure the path to the table is cleared.

Oh, hello. It was getting a bit messy here.

'Cause very soon, these builds will be moving

and they've got to be clicked in by the time it says 00:00.

Hey, was that...

Wasn't that the guy from last year?

Is that the speedy guy pushing the broom?

That is indeed.

I know that guy.

That's Jordy.

Yeah, man. What's going on?

Hey, Jordy, you missed a bit.

HAMISH: If you do well on other reality shows,

you could open like a home consulting business

or maybe get a record deal. Lego Masters is no different.

You do well on this show,

the opportunities for future employment are big.

They're a bit messy this lot, aren't they?

I know. You're doing a great job. Thank you.

Don't forget to put your timesheet in to Kevin at the end of the day.

Oh, yeah. For sure.

Are you all good? Be careful.

That's alright.

So, we're feeling in a pretty good place.

We've got the face taking shape.

Do the same with one from there and then a two in the middle.

Yeah, that's really good.

We're seeing our build come together.

I feel so proud of us.

It is unbelievable.

It's really good, Sarah. Yep, OK.

Are you happy with that? Yeah, I'm totally happy with that.

I think she looks beautiful. You should be.

You've done a beautiful, beautiful job.

And you should be. The hair is amazing.

At two minutes to go,

you will be able to start moving your benches to click them in.

Everything has to be clicked in by the time that things says 00:00.

Did you want to go grab some...

There we go. Cool, cool, cool.

High five. You're leaving me hanging. OK.

Now, I'm going to go get some...

Block face, why not?

I just saw Scotty run.

I think that's the first time all day.

This is P we've finally cracked him.

We've finally cracked Scott.

He moved.

Something's not... What else do you need to do?

There's two more bits here.

I've got this great little idea for a truck.

It's exiting the building,

it's going to take me ten more seconds.

OK, I just need to more bits.

Ryan!

It's seconds until we have to move the table.

That certainly looked like Gabby

hoping that Ryan would not run to the brick pit.

What's up, Gab? What's going on?

I don't want to have to touch that by myself.

I don't even know how to turn him on.

If he doesn't move, if we don't get him on,

it's all over.

It's almost like somewhere, somehow,

someone put all these pieces together

to create this very high-pressure moment.

Weird.

Genius. So weird.

Evil genius.

Come on, give them - just give them a chance. It's their first day.

They're trying their hardest.

Alright, little garden bed, guy watering the garden.

What are we putting here?

I don't know. SUV.

An SUV.

Hopefully, they love it.

Yeah, I'm a very happy man. Looks great.

We don't have much time.

My gosh.

Pressure's on.

Alright. We are close.

You are 37 seconds away from being able to move.

30 seconds, Ryan!

Very good.

It means we have to be hands on the table.

This is... Sorry.

No, no. I might get you to do a time call next ep.

That was really good.

Five seconds!

This is... Why are you getting draws out?

BRICKMAN: Alright, two minutes!

Two minutes, guys!

You've got two minutes! You can go!

Gabby's moving it by herself!

Where are you, Ryan? You're on a minute!

What are you doing? Do not do that!

What are you doing?

Two minutes, guys!

You've got two minutes. You can go!

I walk out of the brick pit,

I see Gabby moving the table by herself.

Where are you, Ryan? You're a maniac!

What are you doing? Do not do that!

What are you doing?

No!

We're under a curse! You can't do that!

Not without me! Jesus!

Alright, everyone start moving your benches to click them in.

You've got the back? You've got the back? You've got the back?

Yep. Not too fast.

Oh, whoa! That moves a lot, hey!

Scotty, what happened to my Zen master?

I was excited. Flow, smooth.

Slower, slower, slower, slower.

Slow.

I know, but we need to turn it on.

Mind the cheese.

Cheese coming through.

Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my gosh. So scary.

HAMISH: There is a lot of tension here.

The geisha, she looks very relaxed.

Amy and Dawei are using the remaining P

they've chosen to use the minute to put the last bricks on.

It could be a good gamble.

Use the time to deco if you need.

No, no. We need to go.

Amy and Dawei, you've got to move!

Come on, come on. Please, please.

Amy, just give me a sec.

You've got to get your truck.

The truck's not finished. The truck's not finished.

I still need to finish this truck.

So, I run off again.

You don't need to finish the truck, you don't need to finish the truck.

There's a lot of great teamwork going on.

BRICKMAN: Turn all your lights on! Turn your power functions on!

Amy and Dawei, you've got to move!

You've got under 40 seconds! Go!

Try not to panic but you can tell by my voice,

you don't have much time!

Ryan!

RYAN: (SCREAMS)

That's it. That's it.

Here we go. 13, 12, 11,

ten, nine... Magic.

..eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

Hands off!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Congratulations.

You can exhale.

You have finished your first build.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Well done, everybody. That looks amazing.

(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

(MUSIC BUILDING)

(EXHALES)

Guys, you have officially completed your first build.

Well done.

(APPLAUSE)

And it looks awesome. It looks unbelievable.

We want to take a closer look.

Scott and Owen. Can we have a look at yours?

Alright.

(APPLAUSE)

Brickman's looking for story,

he's looking for aesthetics and technical ability.

I'm confident we've got the three boxes.

We've got crashed aliens, we've got giant UFOs,

we're talking government insurgents trying to cover up.

A beautiful garden-scape as well.

I was like, "Whoa, man. I like that garden."

(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

(HIGH-TECH BEEPING)

(ELECTRONIC WHISTLING)

I know this was a tough shape.

You were octagon virgins.

Yes.

You're not anymore. How does it feel?

Relieved.

Relieved. Just good to get it out of the way?

I reckon it looks excellent.

Like, I mean, it's definitely got a showstopping piece in it

but it does have tons

of other little bits and pieces of story.

Even like a pig pen.

We've never had a pig pen.

It's nice to see a little pig pen on the show.

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

You've got the attention seeker, the giant mothership on the top.

For a first up try,

that's one of the best mechanisms I've seen and octagonal too.

It really is a great build,

and that entices you in to see what's happening.

What you've also done is add little details,

drawing you in and showing action without actually having action,

so for example's sake, looking at the burned tree,

it gives an indication that this ship has come in

and crashed and then of course, the unnamed agency has turned up.

Definitely stopped the train.

Well done, guys. Great job.

(APPLAUSE)

I like to think we've got a shot.

The reality starts to sink in

that we could be holding a platinum brick.

You could put it in your hair, man. It would look great.

Dude, to even think of that.

Alright. David and Gus.

Take us to croc town.

(APPLAUSE)

It's been a 17-hour build, we're waiting to hear from Brickman

and I'm nervous.

I want good news from him.

Alright. The croc is chomping.

Let's see if it stops the train.

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

Today, our build is a large chomping crocodile.

He's chomping on a train track.

It's covered in pink goo.

There's been toxic spills, there's mutants everywhere.

People are terrified.

It looks amazing, guys.

The thing I want to ask you about, Brickman,

is there's a lot of Lego bricks in the crocodile's head.

Is it difficult to get a Lego motor to, like, lift that weight?

Definitely. Not only is it difficult to lift that weight

and get that action happening, but to do it reliably.

It's super impressive that it's working.

Totally. A character is one of the key things

that you could use to stop a train.

Particularly with movement like that.

Can I ask a question on that?

How much better does it make this build

that the guys have put a train in its mouth

rather than just having a crocodile scaring people.

Heaps better.

The main reason is it's suggestive.

It gives you the impression

that's why there's a train track here.

He obviously snacks on trains.

That's why he's mutated, because he's eaten the toxic sludge.

The only downside is the crocodile is green.

Yeah.

The baseplate is green, the mountains are green,

everything is green.

From a colour perspective, contrast was the real enemy

for your aesthetics here.

Yep.

But fellas... It's awesome.

..you guys have every right to be proud.

Well done. Well done. Great job.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Jess and Anthony, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

I'm so proud of what we accomplished together.

The make or break of our volcano is that eruption up the top.

That is like the most important P that's the key part of our build

'cause that's the eye-catching, over the top of all the mountains.

OK.

Jess, you're a scientist.

Yes.

Volcano-wise, like, I'm fascinated by the spinning top.

It's super fast. I mean, is that scientific?

OK.

Jess, you're a scientist.

Yes.

Volcano-wise, like, I'm fascinated by the spinning top.

It's super fast. I mean, is that scientific?

Well, it's kind of like a tribute to science

rather than necessarily scientifically 100% accurate.

That was like what I did at uni. A tribute to science.

(LAUGHTER) Not a full degree.

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

(BRAKES SQUEALING)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Brickman, what are your Lego thoughts?

Well, you know, the challenge is to stop the train.

Of course the train is going to stop

in front of a giant exploding volcano.

Whoo! Good job.

So, you've definitely stopped the train.

The thing that I like the most is colour.

You need to set yourself apart from the scenery

and colour is a great way to do that.

The bright oranges and reds, the translucent pieces you've done.

However, you've got this amazing mountain range behind you.

You've practically spent at least half of your build

recreating that mountain range.

So, probably for time-management purposes,

you need to think about using what's already there

to your strengths as opposed to having to repeat all that work

before you got to the good stuff.

Yeah. Beautiful. Well done, guys.

Well done, guys. Great job. Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE)

JESS: I am so relieved that he is happy with our build

but he's right.

We spent, you know, probably half the build building this mountain

that was already there.

Harrison and Michael, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

Alright, we've got our theme park.

We've had a lot of laughs about how dangerous that Ferris wheel is.

At the moment, the people are probably thinking,

"Oh, this is great. I'm glad I..."

It's just a happy ride.

"I'm glad I took this ride. I'm having fun."

Yeah.

Now, they begin to regret their decision.

(LAUGHTER)

As it speeds up and goes faster and faster and faster.

And it's too late at that point.

Have you guys ever built anything this big before?

No. Not even close.

That's such an interesting point

because kind of what's happened with your build, too many ideas

and so all of these ideas in the end came crashing together.

If you look at the rides,

they're all incredibly different to each other,

they looked disjointed.

Alright, Dawei and Amy, let's have a look.

Alright, our rainbow cave.

AMY: Hey, the train stopped!

It's having a look! It's having a look!

The challenge is to stop the train

and what better way to do that

than having a giant rainbow waterfall.

Absolutely, a huge attention-getter.

What I would say then is once you've got your attention,

it's about looking at the detail.

So, how do you explore that?

I'm not sure a cave is the right thing to explore

'cause it's quite dark and hidden.

Yeah.

However, certainly, the colour, definitely the way to go.

Well done, guys. Congratulations.

Well done. Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

Atlanta and Jeff.

Alright. Take us to cheese land.

A giant cheese!

How awesome is that?

It's fantastic.

The cheese monsters, cheese gods came out fantastically.

I love those.

I mean, it's a very dark, strange world, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The more you get into it, it's like,

you know, there's poor baby cheeses strapped to the roof

and people are attacking it with spears.

It's nice and cartoony at the beginning

and then when you really look into it,

it gets a little bit deeper and darker.

It is one you'd be like, "Kids, come and look at this."

"Actually, I don't think we're going to look at that for too long."

What I love about it was it came straight from your imagination.

Yep.

It's crazy, it's a bit out there, it looks wicked, it really does.

Well done. Great job.

(APPLAUSE) (TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

Gabby and Ryan, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

Did you feel the pressure of the brick of doom?

(THUNDER AND SCREAMS)

Mostly when you came and mentioned it.

Totally accidental. Not trying to get in your head at all.

But I think that there was definitely a psychological pressure

to try and get rid of it.

Let's see if you've done enough to break it.

I'm absolutely desperate to get rid of this curse.

I hope we've done enough to get rid of this brick of doom, number one,

and get that platinum brick.

It would mean so much.

Let's see if it stops the train.

(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

Alright, here it comes.

Gabby and Ryan, did you feel the pressure of the brick of doom?

(THUNDER AND SCREAMS)

Mostly when you came and mentioned it.

I hope we've done enough to trade this brick of doom in

for the platinum brick.

Let's see if you've done enough to break it.

(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

(BRAKES SQUEAL)

That is awesome.

How do you guys feel seeing it?

I'm just so proud of him.

Like, he really came together.

Everything we discussed.

Yeah, we wanted a yeti stomping on this rail line and...

And a yeti you shall geti.

A yeti we shall geti.

The fact that he is such an expressive monster.

Even like the overbite.

Can you take us through the story?

The train track's being extended through the mountains.

They really need a new surveyor

because they failed to notice the yeti cave

that they've tunnelled into and disturbed the yeti.

That's a real bummer. You never want to do that.

Brickman.

So, really glad to see a character.

I think characters are a big way to stop the train,

so that's a huge tick from me,

and likewise, you went for a really bright contrasting colour, white.

How awesome. Anti-green basically.

So, you definitely got something there to stop the train.

Have either of you two done big characters before?

We've never done big characters that move before,

like that's actually new for both of us.

And it hanging off one leg too.

Super tough to do. Super tough to do.

The mountain, it's almost superfluous.

The time could have been better used.

However, I tell you what.

I really liked it but I think it's a lot of fun which is fantastic.

It really is a great story

and it definitely stops the train, so well done.

Awesome, guys. Good one.

(APPLAUSE)

I think we're up there. We could be.

But there are some amazing builds there.

I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful.

But I'm also super impressed by the competition.

Super impressed.

And we're cursed. Yeah. (LAUGHS)

I'm nervous about not having any moving parts

because I know that technical ability

is one of the judging criteria

that Brickman is always looking for.

Alrighty, Sarah and Fleur, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

Ours doesn't move.

I'm a bit nervous about that, looking around the room,

but visually, I think we stand up well.

(TRANQUIL SINGING)

(WONDROUS MUSIC BUILDING)

HAMISH: When you guys first said,

"We're going to do like a geisha temple"

"and a sushi train kind of thing", I'll be honest.

I went, "Mmm, nah."

(LAUGHTER)

Thanks for the support. I went, "Oh, well."

"Yeah, they seem like lovely people but what a shame."

(LAUGHTER)

Thanks.

But it's that thing of like when you hear an idea,

that's the lesson of this show.

Yep.

You're not in other people's heads and that's what this is.

It comes out of your head and then we all go, "Oh, my god."

"That's what you were thinking of."

It looks unbelievable.

We wanted to do something different.

We wanted to push ourselves and we had this really grand idea

and we wanted to see whether we could do it.

Yeah.

If I was to write down 1,000 things that I would build,

a giant geisha temple would not have been one of them.

I can guarantee that. Yay!

But as Hamish has said, that's exactly what we love.

It's the creativity

and it's a little bit of both of you.

It totally is. It is. Yeah.

So, looking at your build, there's a lot of little things

that make the model amazing,

but of course, the key thing that really grabs your attention

is the geisha herself.

The colour choice for starters.

I'm not sure if you realised

when you said, "Let's build a giant geisha",

just how amazingly contrasting

those colours were against the mountains.

Was that intentional? It was.

Or just kind of happened? No, it was. It was.

Inspired.

I'm just going to back the train up a little bit.

'Cause I want to talk about the sushi.

Yeah.

It looks delicious.

Lego food is a thing.

There is a whole subculture about Lego food.

Yeah, love it. You're right into it?

I am right into it.

But I've never built sushi before.

You've never made sushi before?

The subtle joke of sushi train, I think is awesome. I love it.

I love a good gag. (LAUGHTER)

I'm a sucker for a good gag and that's an absolute beauty.

Combined with the colour and the aesthetics,

the train definitely stopped. This is awesome, absolutely awesome.

Great stuff. Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE)

Going from being a mum to stepping out and putting yourself

on that stage and that arena, I...

Yeah, I kind of never imagined that could happen

but listening to Brickman give feedback,

there's this light inside you that thinks,

"I could really do this. I could be there at the end."

Alright, guys.

Congratulations.

You have made it through to the end

of the first episode of Lego Masters.

You have done an incredible job. Well done.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Those creations came out of your minds, your hands

and your sweat and your effort.

Can you believe it? ALL: No.

And a little bit of your blood, Ryan.

(LAUGHTER) But curses are curses.

Right from the word go,

you've all nailed the brief in the very first build.

How cool is that? Yes!

It shows we're in for something special.

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, we have had a lot of fun today

but we still have one historic and very powerful thing to do.

One team in here is about to win the platinum brick

and science jar it goes in.

It gives you immunity in one of the elimination builds

and the ability to play it after you've built,

after you've seen what everyone else has built.

It's guaranteed to take you very, very deep in this competition.

It's a crazy amount of power

and somebody is about to get it.

Brickman, who are our top two teams?

(LAUGHTER)

(WHISPERED) I'm so nervous.

The first team I would like to call forward is...

..Owen and Scott.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I think we saw you just go a bit above chill

then back to chill, Scott.

Yeah, a little bit.

So, the other team I would like to call forward are...

..Sarah and Fleur.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Stay with us, Fleur. Stay with us.

I am. (LAUGHTER)

I'm super happy.

I don't think you even knew what you were capable of...

No.

..to make that amazing first build.

It really is incredible.

So unique.

It was a build that stops the train,

of course it stops the train, it's a sushi train.

It really is incredible and it came from your imagination.

Something to be so proud of.

An amazing job. Thank you.

So, Scott and Owen.

You've managed to create something which is a story.

You really have got some serious depth to it.

And you know what, that UFO,

that's one of the best mechanisms I've seen

and octagonal, too, to boot.

It really is a great build. Well done.

Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE)

Amazing.

So, today, one team ticked the storytelling,

aesthetics and technical ability

and had an extraordinary display of teamwork,

and that's why...

..Sarah and Fleur.

(APPLAUSE)

Congratulations.

You got the platinum brick!

All yours!

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you so much.

You guys did all the work. Thank yourselves.

I feel like I'm about to cry.

It's very emotional.

I mean, well, Fleur,

when we saw that it was a train build

and your son is crazy about trains,

like, that was the moment where you were like,

"Oh, if he's watching this, this will be crazy."

How do you think he's going to feel now?

I'm going to get so many mum points.

(LAUGHTER)

Guys, you have not just won the first build

for Lego Masters Season Three

but you now get an insane amount of power

and a level of power that even as we were talking about it today,

we were like, "Should we have invented something"

"that is this powerful on this show?"

But we have. It's contained in a science jar.

I've unlocked it on the keypad.

You may now go and pull the platinum brick from its chamber.

Can we run?

You can run! You can run and get it. Go and get it.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Bring it over here and allow her to P

Sarah, you are holding that very tight.

(LAUGHTER) We wanted it so badly.

You've got it for the rest of the season

for whenever you want to play it during an elimination.

It will keep you safe.

How are you feeling?

(SIGHS)

(LAUGHTER)

BOTH: We won the platinum brick!

So happy.

17 hours ago, there is no way that we thought

that we'd be winning the platinum brick.

Whoo! Whoo!

This is mum dancing.

Mum dancing.

(LAUGHTER)

I think it's time to shake it out, rest the hands.

We'll see you tomorrow for another build. Well done, guys.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

We can leave. You can finally leave.

You can leave the door.

BRICKMAN: Go and rest, go and rest.

Truly awesome.

HAMISH: Well done, guys.

Tomorrow night...

(LAUGHTER)

..disaster strikes

on purpose...

Each team will build a spectacular castle

that will stand no chance against a very heavy cannonball.

..as the teams compete for their first immunity...

This is more stressful than giving birth.

(LAUGHS)

I just broke it again!

..and with an incredible tenpin bowler at hand...

(LAUGHTER)

..we'll see every amazing build

completely destroyed in super slow motion.

It's going to be great.
