All language subtitles for The Carbonaro Effect s01e10 Serious Déjà Vu

Hey, what can I get you? Michael
Carbonaro has an effect on people.

Hiding in plain sight. How you guys
doing?

He makes them fall for the impossible.

They remember how to be tied.

This is the Carbonaro Effect.

Have you ever had a drink with fizz?
What do you mean fizz? You know,

Can I get you something to drink?

I think I will have a vodka pomegranate.

Vodka pomegranate? Okay, I'm going to
make that for you with the liquor light.

Liquor light?

Liquor light, yeah. I'll show you. It's
really cool.

We're one of the first bars to have one
of these.

And I call myself an experienced
drinker, okay?

Oh, yeah. We make the drink with...

Bottled water.

Okay.

So the cubes are bottled water. Yes. And
then the drink is made with pure spring

water. Got it.

So we pour just some water in there.
Very good. Yeah. And then we use the

light, which is this.

And what drink do you want?

Vodka pomegranate.

A vodka pomegranate? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

I have to remember the code.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait. Five, five,
six, nine, one.

Yeah. And because it's made with the
spring water and the ice cubes are

water.

And that's it.

Yep.

What? Yeah.

Taste that.

Wait a minute.

It's a perfect four.

What in the white? How did you do that?
You never heard of that?

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's all the rage now.

It's good, right?

Yeah.

And so it's like mixed perfectly.

Every single time. Because the
bartender, you know, we can make

But the machine doesn't make mistakes.

So how does that work?

You know, every liquid is water at its
base.

So what it does is it takes the ions of
the water and changes them to whatever

the coding ions of whatever it needs to
for the drink.

For years, liquor companies have been,
you know, they just use the machine.

They, like, make up all these stories
about, like, distilling wines and

things in barrels, but that's all just
water done with a machine. I'm getting

good at this.

Yeah.

That's insane.

Yeah. Liquor light.

Enjoy that.

There you go.

Oh, my gosh.

They make me test the hot sauces.

Do you like spicy stuff?

Oh, yeah, I love hot sauce. Do you
really? Yeah, they got this stuff,

devil tears.

They import it from Ecuador or
something.

It's, like, illegal.

What? I don't actually like hot stuff.

Right?

I don't think anything.

Like, when they make wings like this,
they don't cook them first. They put the

sauce on, and the sauce cooks it.

Oh, my God. Are you serious? Yeah, they
put... Do it. Really?

I'm bad at this.

Okay.

Uh -oh.

Oh, my gosh. That is way too hot.

Wait, that's, like, bothering my mouth.

Oh, my gosh.

This is not funny.

Oh, my God. Yeah.

No way.

No, that's going to be... We're going to
have a lawsuit. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It looks like it's, like, petrified
right now. Yeah, they put the wings

and then they coat the sauce on top of
it, and that's why it looks petrified

like that.

That can't be healthy.

I can still feel it, yeah. It's, like,
numb.

Dude, I hope you get paid extra.

Me too.

Lie that thing all the way to the right.
You lean to the left. Get them over

there. Don't engage the kid.

There you go.

Is it closed?

Okay, $16 .98.

Ready?

Oops.

Try that again.

I'm magnetically charged. I'm just
erasing my cards.

Oh, you erase them magnetically? No, I
mean, like, I am magnetically charged.

cards, they always do it. Is that true?
Yeah, I had it a little... My card

shocks me every time I get in it. Oh,
really?

I have another card.

Hello?

Hey, this is Michael Carbonaro at the
Variety Store.

Yeah, I got another alert on the credit
card machine.

That was the 31st. They had to reissue
them or something.

They should call you.

Oh, really? Yeah.

I'll give it to them. Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. All right.

Yeah, they said that they're going to be
reissuing them for everybody.

So you should just...

Be wary.

Everyone... Seriously?

Let me... No, hold on. I'm sorry. I'll
have them re -deliver it. The whole

system is being operated now without
humans.

Like the whole credit card system.

Hello?

Yeah, what is your name?

Derek Laberski. Derek Laberski at The
Variety.

Oh, it's on its way?

I can hear it.

Thank you.

Yeah, that'll be fine. We get these in
here all the time because it's the 31st.

No one's been doing it, so.

Over here. I hate dealing with this
machine.

This is what I do all day.

Here we go.

You should have given me a new one.

Here we go.

Okay.

What is happening right now?

The drones are running all of the
creditors.

So they're replacing cards without
humans.

Because humans steal.

Machines don't steal. So they're not
trusting any humans in the facility. So

it's all drone operated and the whole
place is run by a computer. So

getting their cards replaced.

So do you want to run this one?

Yeah. No, it's already activated because
it came from the drone facility.

We're the first humans to touch it.

Are you doing cash or credit?

No, I have a 20. Oh, a 20. Great.

Let's hope this isn't... More than 20?

More than 20. No, I'm sure to be.

Uh -oh.

Where did you get this from?

A 20?

Yeah. I don't know.

Not a... I don't think so.

Yeah, it doesn't have the little... I'm
going to test this, is that okay? Okay,

sure, yeah. Yeah.

Oh.

Do you feel how it feels like almost
plasticky?

Yeah, it definitely is because this
would rip.

See, look at this.

Let me see if it does that. Yeah, look
at that.

Yeah.

A real 20 isn't like made of that
plastic microfibery stuff.

Okay. And then it would rip.

It would rip.

But these don't rip.

Okay. Yeah, because it's like a self
-healing microfiber.

Are you serious? Yeah.

Okay, well, I guess I'll pay with
credit.

Okay, cool.

The best way to test them, too, if you
feel it and it feels a little plasticky,

just rip it in half.

If it rips, it's real.

Okay.

Thank you.

That was weird.

I totally... Was someone right here?

Oh, my God.

Oh,

yeah.

Can I get you a coffee?

Decaf latte.

And what's your name?

Stacy.

I have a sister named Stacy.

Did I spell that right?

I'm Michael, by the way.

Did I get it right?

You're named Michael?

I'm Michael.

I thought you wrote Michael on the other
side.

No, I'm Michael.

I must be seeing things. Yeah, you
spelled it completely right.

Yep. You said Michael, and I read that,
and that's what came out. That's what I

saw. What just happened?

Wait, what do you mean? Somebody asked
me if my name was Michael, and I was

like, I didn't like you.

I don't know. It was just weird. It was
just weird. There was like some sort of

scientific experiment there. I saw the
name Michael when you showed me Stacy.

You saw the name Michael? Yeah.

I think you need coffee. I think I need
coffee. Okay, I'm going to get you a

coffee. It was bizarre.

You missed us this morning. We were
giving away free muffins.

Oh, were you really? Yeah, there's a
promotion for those baker bag things.

There's like instant muffins or
whatever.

Yeah, they were doing it every... No,
it's good. They're actually pretty good.

There's some left if you want.

There's... All we have is carrots,
zucchini, and blueberry.

Blueberry. Blueberry?

Yeah.

How do you do them?

Oh, you haven't done them?

All right.

He's like, oh, yeah, I gotta explain it
to you. I know, right? Now I gotta

explain it to you.

It's easy, though. Look. Yeah, there's
little directions in the thing. Oh, wow.

And it comes with what you use. You just
use the little cup and the little baker

stuff.

Here, I'll show you. Yeah.

Oh, my God. My son is going to love
that. Yeah, it's great.

Just, like, fill up the cup.

Okay.

And I thought you added water. I messed
up the first one, so don't put water in

it. Don't put water. No, it just does it
with the steam.

Yeah, just pack it on so that it can
expand and just put it in the very

The very bottom, okay.

Yeah, like that.

That is a good thing. Just seal it up.

Oh, my God. No offense at the future.
Just pinch the corners.

And, you know, like those gloves that
keep your hands warm? Yeah. It's like

kind of technology or something. Oh,
cool.

And then you can usually hear it.

It sounds like a... You hear it? Yeah.

That is just, like, from outer space.

But open it up because you can't leave
it in there too long.

Open it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to leave it,
like, 20 seconds.

When you do it the first time, just do
it, like, with a... No, don't leave it

there. No, no, no, no. It will keep
cooking.

Yeah, and it'll burn. So that's, like,
the only thing that's a little

So if you're doing that with, you know,
your kid, just make sure it doesn't...

And don't let them rip the bag because
it can, like...

Little coils of heat inside the foil,
and then that could, like, burn.

Just, like, keep it away from anything
flammable.

How's it going?

I'm good.

I'm just going to get a sip.

Okay. I don't need a ground.

You don't need that ground? Uh -uh.
Okay, okay. And nothing to drink?

No. Nothing?

No? I'll give you a free cup of coffee.

Aw. You've got to have something, right?

Okay. I'm not going to turn it down.

Free is good.

Yeah.

I don't have a lid. I just have this
lid. No, that's fine. All right. Are you

driving? Yeah. Okay. I have a coffee
cup. You have a coffee thing? Because

a driving cup? Here, let me show you.

If you're driving and you put your hand
over the top of it and you hit a bump,

your hand's not going to get splashed
because it's a driving cup so that this

way people don't get burned.

So just... And then you won't... You
won't get splashed at all.

But let me pour you another one now
because I wasted that. But we make

everything with driving cups. So you can
drive as crazy as you want.

And there I was, holding a trick
newspaper with human hair behind it.

Do you know what time it is?

It is currently 3 .05.

Oh, my gosh.

That's ridiculous.

What time is your appointment?

My appointment is at 1 o 'clock.

I've been waiting here for, it seems
like, hours.

You here for a job interview?

Yeah.

Is today the 10th?

Today is the 10th?

No, that's what's on my watch, though.

You watch this on the 10th? Yeah. I'm a
mind reader. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

No, it's the 12th. No, today's the 13th.
The 13th? Yeah.

Oh, my God.

I was supposed to be seen on the 10th.

Well, if somebody calls for Michael,
would you wake me up?

Yeah, you need it.

Sorry about that. It felt good.

Small thumbs today.

Yeah, I can imagine.

How are you doing? I'm all right,
actually.

It's a nice day, but it's kind of chilly
out.

It's like the winter came back.

Right.

Yesterday was like, I thought it was
going to be a tornado or something.

You here for a job interview?

Yeah, I'm here for a job interview.

Everybody's real nice around here. I'm
Michael.

I'm Jonathan.

Nice to meet you, Jonathan.

So what are you guys doing? I see the
sign out there that says thanks for

expanding our building.

Is that what you're doing? Oh, well,
they just did a renovation, and today

switching the bulbs to CFLs. Okay, okay.
Oh, my gosh.

You got to see this one. Look at this.

Drop that.

When's the last time you've seen a bulb
like this?

What?

At my grandma's house in the country.

Seriously. Looks like something from
1776, right?

Those actually look pretty nice, like,
depending on the lamp. Well, you know

what it is? Look at this. It gives,
like, a nice yellowy glow. You see that?

Right. But I'm going to switch it here.
It depends on the room, too.

Oh, it's kind of hot.

Can you pass me the... Sure.

Got the better ones in there, I think.

What the heck?

Will they just give me one of these?

Is there only one?

All right, I guess I'm just switching
one today.

Not a problem.

The thing about these, it saves energy,
but if you look at it, it kind of looks

like a little bit more of a white light,
doesn't it?

Let me see. A little bit different. A
little.

A little bit? A little. Maybe it's the
shade.

Yeah, the shade. I think the better the
shade, the better the light can look.

Right, right.

Hey, uh...

You're not nervous, are you, for your
interview?

No. All right.

I'm not nervous at all. I don't know
why, though.

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

Whoa. Oh, my God.

I'm like all thumbs today.

I'll be out of your hair in a minute.

What'd you do?

Huh?

You're not nervous, are you?

For your interview?

No. All right.

I'm not nervous at all. I don't know
why, though.

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

Whoa. Oh, my God.

I'm like all thumbs today.

I'll be out of your hair in a minute.

What'd you just... Hmm?

I could have swore I saw you walk that
way.

And then I turn up and I look up and
you're right back there.

Oh, no, I'm here just doing some
maintenance.

No. I just saw you go that way with that
table.

Huh?

Wow. Okay, okay.

Kind of chilly today, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

It's like the winter came back.

Well, Seattle is way worse.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. You're doing a job interview?

Yeah. All right, yeah. Everybody's
really nice here.

Yo, didn't you just say that to me?

Did I just say that to you?

No. Yes, you did.

I did? My name's Michael, man. I haven't
met you. Yes, you did, Mimi. You are

Michael. I met you? Are you working
already?

No. Oh.

How did you... Oh, yeah.

I'm just here to change the bulbs today.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Look at this.

When's the last time you've seen a bulb
like this?

No way.

Looks like something from 1776.

Man.

It does.

It does, right? Here, hand me that whole
box. Ooh, it's hot.

Gives it, like, a nice yellowy glow.

And this is the bulb you need to change.

Um, I think... What the hell? Do they
only give me one of these?

Yeah, actually, that's only one.

All right. I'll get some just changing
ones today.

The thing about these, they save a lot
of energy, but I'm not a huge fan. It

gives more of, like, a... kind of a
whitish glow, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess it just depends on
the shade, right? The better the shade,

the better the light.

Hey, you're not nervous, are you?

No, not nervous at all.

Good, good.

You know what? I'm actually happy I met
you. Thank you.

You bet, man. For talking to me and
keeping me focused.

Focused? Yeah.

Yeah, you got to be focused.

Definitely focused.

Good luck to you. Thank you.

Michael.

Definitely weird. What is today's date?

I don't know.

I feel like I'm losing my mind today.

You usually work alone?

Yeah, I work alone. Did I change this
light bulb today?

Today.

Okay. I helped you, by the way. That was
today.

You helped me change this bulb today. I
actually did.

I kind of remember that.

I'm just like having a little... I need
to sit down for a second.

Weird. You know what? I just wrote that
down.

What?

Michael, Cosmic Loop, because that's
what we're going through.

Today's the 13th.

And this is where I'm at.

Why did you write that down?

You know, because I think it's important
that I remember that this happened to

me before.

Okay. Because it will happen again at
some point in my life.

And I want to have it written down.

Oh, like a deja vu kind of thing? Yeah,
I have serious deja vu.

You do? Yeah, serious.

And I like to write them down now.

In case it happens again, you would
know.

There's like a deja vu, or what is that
other thing they call that when you keep

having the same thing happen over and
over? It's like a cosmic loop. It's the

Carbonaro effect.

Have you heard of that?

No. We'll be Googling that. The
Carbonaro effect.

Yeah. It's also the name of a...

A hidden camera magic TV show where a
magician pulls magic tricks on people

in real life and confuses them. Right.
Like where they think they're in a

loop, where they see somebody changing a
bowl more than one time and start to

think that they're losing their mind
because they're really on a hidden

TV show called The Carbonaro Effect.

What's up, man? Good old Michael. Great
job. Jonathan, did we make you lose your

mind a little bit? I lost my mind.
