All language subtitles for Dynamo s04e01 California

Are you guys from Paris? Yes.

And are you just hanging out today?

Yes. Do you have a receipt?

Yes. Can I take a look?

Yeah,

yeah. I think this should be cool. How
much is this for?

30 euros.

30 euros.

Focus on the receipt.

I have travelled hundreds of thousands
of miles, to some of the furthest

of the earth, met people from all walks
of life, and seen enough amazement to

fill several lifetimes.

They say we're all searching for
something.

For some people it's fame and fortune,
for others it's a sense of purpose.

But for me, it's just a moment, a
fragment of time.

where something truly impossible
happens.

Oh

my

god, stop,

stop, stop, stop!

My name's Stephen Frayne, but most
people call me Dynamo.

When I think back to the early days,
it's unbelievable how much my life has

changed.

Everything is different.

Oh, we. Oh,

we.

Hello? Hello Stephen?

You alright Nana?

Yeah, I'm all right, love. Are you all
right?

I'm all right, yeah.

How is everybody back home?

I've got two months tomorrow for my
hairdoing. What, are you getting a perm?

No, I'm here getting a perm.

No, I'm just having a shampoo and set.

Oh, you've got to see me soon.

Yeah, I'll take you to the pub.

Right, I'm going home now, then. Didn't
even hear it. Didn't even hear it. All

right, love.

All right, love you.

We're just pawns in Dynamite's game.

We've probably been writing our songs
for years.

There was once a time when the world was
filled with mystery and magic.

But as we become more and more
connected, it's easy to miss the wonder

all around us.

So as I embarked on my final adventure,
I decided to start my journey in one of

the most connected places on the planet.

I'd been invited out to Los Angeles to
perform during a seven -hour livestream

with global pop stars One Direction.

Having been to LA several times, I
decided to start my trip further up the

Pacific coast in the iconic city of San
Francisco.

Tate Ashbury sits in central San
Francisco.

and was one of the birthplaces of the
hippie movement in the 1960s.

To this day, it is a mecca for
alternative

living, and draws people in from all
walks of life.

All the sheep, all the sheep, all the
sheep All the sheep, what the fuck, do

they count when they see?

When they see That was

awesome.

What was that song called?

That's all the sheep by the roadside
around the gates.

So you guys had a good day today?

Yeah, it was a good day. Making a bit of
cash?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit, a little
bit.

I want to show you guys something here.
You guys are going to tell me. I want to

show you.

No, on the guitar.

Oh, yeah, on the djembe?

Can I try something with some money?

We have a little bit, but not much.

We have like a dollar bill.

You got a dollar? Well, is there any...
We got some change, though.

We got three nickels and 50 cents and a
penny. Okay, just hand me any coin.

Can you turn you turn up

I

have

a quarter

I don't believe it.

He's not Hercules.

He has amazing strength.

Now, I can't even spin.

Can't bend it back.

Can't bend it back. Can't bend it back.
Can you bend it back?

No, I can't bend it back. Let me see.
I'm going to have one of my protégés

it back.

No, I can't bend it back.

Somebody give me a quarter.

Anybody give me a quarter.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey,

I've tried ripping coins before, that
doesn't work.

Can I try something with a dollar bill?

Yeah, definitely, sir.

I'll tell you what.

Only dollar I got, though.

Is it the only one you've got?

Yeah.

Just want me to have the coin, right?

Yeah, I do. This time we'll...

That's Doc in the film.

I took a walk further into hate.

Sometimes, even a trance encounter can
turn into a profound moment.

I'm Dynamo. What's your name?

Nicatio. Nicatio?

Yes. Brian. Brian.

Kareem. Kareem. Nice to meet you all. I
want to try something with you guys. Can

I try something with you, Kareem?
Absolutely.

Just think of someone kind of close to
you.

Visualise them in your mind right now.
Look at me.

This might sound really weird, but I'm
kind of getting the name Nicole.

I'm getting someone called Nicole.

Who is Nicole?

My sister.

Your sister?

Oh, wow.

Can I take one of these copies?

Yeah, go for it. All right. Can you just
take the lid off, actually?

Take the lid off? Yeah. Oh, take the lid
off. Take the lid.

All right.

No! No!

Get the fuck out of here!

Wow!

Wow! Wow!

Thank you.

A drink to my sister.

To me.

That's cool. That's awesome. Wow.

Thanks. Wow.

I didn't believe in magic until now.
That is... That is... That's... Dead on.

I'm taking a picture right now and I'm
going to text it to her.

Insane. I... I... I'm... That's... Wow.

Crazy.

Oh my god.

I was in San Francisco and had made my
way down to Berkeley University, home to

some of the brightest young academics in
the country.

I never went to university myself, but
I've always been fascinated with the way

in which knowledge can be passed down
from one generation to another.

How long have you guys been

studying here?

Two years. What's everyone studying?

Pre -med, bio.

Sounds interesting.

Difficult, but interesting.

Biology. Biology.

Bioengineering. Bioengineering.
Business.

Business. I'm majoring in econ and
minoring in Chinese language.

Okay. And math. Math. I've never went to
university, but I would assume that it

involves a lot of reading, right? Yeah.

Do you have any of your course books on
you? Yeah.

This will be perfect.

William Faulkner.

The sound and the theory.

It's exciting.

I want

to show you something. I think you're
going to find it quite interesting.

I'm going to attempt to learn this book
word for word in approximately 15

seconds.

Like almost 700 pages.

So I'll say go and then time it 15
seconds.

15? Yeah, 15.

Okay, ready?

Yeah. Set.

Go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,

15 seconds.

Almost done, almost done.

Okay, I think I'm good.

Done.

Okay.

Okay. Take the book.

Open up any page you want.

Don't let me see it.

Okay.

What page number do you want?

Page 185. Page 185.

Now, I want you to look down a few lines
and stop whenever you want on one line.

Okay. What number is that line?

Line 7.

Line 7 on page number?

185.

I'm thinking it's about,

yeah, this is about a girl and she falls
over, she stumbles.

Yeah.

She stumbles into, like, a table.

Yeah.

Yeah. Is that right, yeah? Uh -huh.

Oh, my God.

I'm thinking the first word on that line
is... There, there,

there.

In fact, the whole line is... It follows

a brief period... It

follows a brief period when I stop...

I don't understand. I don't like

it.

Give him a harder one, baby. Give him a
harder one, coach.

Okay, just give me the page number.

320.

I want you to go down a few lines on
that page. Just tell me what line number

you're on.

The first one. The first line. After the
title. After the title.

The first word on there is Jarvis,
right?

Jarvis.

Jarvis Exception Handling.

Jarvis Exception Handling.

Hold on.

Exception, handling, mechanism.

Have I got it right?

Exceptional situation.

Something like that.

Oh, my God. What the?

I don't even know what's going on right
now, man.

You're a beast.

Enjoy the book. I did.

He looked through the book for 15
seconds, and that's it. And then I told

random page number, a random line in the
book, and he told me what the line was

in the book.

It's one thing to read it, though,
another thing to, like, memorize it.

Oh, man.

Oh, how do you even do that?

How's it going to happen?

600 pages.

Of Java.

My short visit to San Francisco was
over, and it was time to take the 390

road trip to Los Angeles.

I arrived in LA later that night and
headed down to Hollywood Boulevard.

I will never forget coming here for the
first time many years ago and how I was

inspired by the local buskers and street
performers.

Before leaving Hollywood Boulevard for
the final time, I wanted to try

that I'd thought about since the very
first time I visited L .A. over 10 years

ago.

These things are cool, right?

There's lots of crazy ones, like, you
know this girl?

Sarah Jessica Parker?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You watch Sex and the City?

Yeah, yeah.

Because you've got jaws, you've got so
many amazing films.

In fact, I want you to find a spot on
the ground where there's a bit of space

and just point it out to me. It can be
anywhere, have a little look around.

This area?

Yeah.

Okay, come look at this.

It feels and looks solid.

He hovered his hands above the slate and
it began to fall and it got deeper and

deeper until his imprints were in the
slate.

And then his signature appeared after.

Dynamo.

Where'd it go?

You're dead.

Venice Beach, a mecca for surfers,
skaters and new age hippies.

I'd been here a few years before and
amazed some of the local buskers and

performers.

Along the promenade, I met up with Sid
Wilson, a .k .a. DJ Starstream,

producer and DJ for the Grammy award
-winning heavy metal band Flipknot.

Sid is a local resident, and like many
of the Venice Beach community, an avid

skater.

You know, to do a couple tricks, ollie
and kickflip once or twice. And I was

like, okay, I'm satisfied.

Like, that's good. Now it's like
transportation.

I'm in Venice Beach. Everyone uses
skateboards or bicycles. So it's like,

is my bicycle.

Can I have a look? Yeah, absolutely.

It's pretty cool.

Space monkey.

Yeah.

Watch.

This guy had the same sunglasses.

And then, I don't know, but he was
wearing the sunglasses when the board

down.

How's that work?

I love the idea that you can meet
someone for the first time and predict

outcome of their actions.

So at the sunset off of Venice Beach, I
decided to test this idea with a group

of bystanders.

What's your name? Helen. Helen, Dynamo.
Nice to meet you.

Helen, I'm going to give you these
cards.

In my pocket, I've got the card box and
I've got a prediction.

It's from a different deck, from a blue
deck.

And it's actually the king of hearts.

Now, normally I don't tell you what the
prediction is beforehand, but it's the

king of hearts. I can't change my mind.
That is my prediction. That's it.

I want you to shuffle those cards up
now.

Shuffle them? Yeah, mix them up.

And check that they're real. Check
they're all different.

All right. They look good. All right.
Yeah?

All right.

Do you have any idea what all of those
cards are in right now? No, sir. So

there's no way that I can know that
anybody knows, right?

I want you to deal cards face up into
this hand, and when you get the urge,

one of the cards face down on top of my
prediction.

Okay, wait.

So, yeah, just deal them so we can see
what they are, and then whenever you

want, take one card face down without
looking at it and just place it on top

my prediction.

Okay.

Is that definitely the one you want,
yeah?

Yeah, I'm feeling good.

Okay, good.

Take those back.

Now, you know what my prediction is. I
showed you it at the beginning. Yeah,

king of hearts.

You could have chose any card.

Look at this.

You're good.

It read my mind.

Like, how does he do that?

As

darkness

fell, I took a walk along some of
Venice's back streets to check out the

clothing and trailer stores.

Along the way I was spotted by some late
night shoppers who wanted me to show

them something.

Could I use this ring?

Yeah. Could you take it off?

Don't worry, I'm going to take care of
it. Okay.

Watch this.

What?

Actually.

Can I take this?

Yeah.

Okay,

what's your bug, right?

Right here.

Take a look. Take a look.

It's tied on there?

It's tied on there. Pull that off.

That's amazing.

How did you do that?

What?

Oh, my God.

I can't take it off.

Pull hard.

My ring was on my finger and then he
took it off.

It disappeared past the bag and it was
tied on here. I don't know how to get it

off.

Later that evening, I decided to visit a
totally different side of Los Angeles.

Far, far away from the glitz of the
Hollywood strip or the multi -million

mansions of Beverly Hills lies the
neighbourhood of Watt.

Situated in South Central LA, I was
warned not to visit after dark due to a

concentration of gang activity in the
area.

But it's always been important for me to
see the different sides to a city, so I

headed down to meet some other local
residents.

Yeah, that's right.

Do any of you play sports?

You play sports?

What do you play?

Football. Football? Are you pretty
quick? I play football too.

Okay, I think we'll try this with you.

So, let's try this. I've got some
quarters.

Just take one of the quarters.

And the idea is for me to snatch the
quarter out of your hand before you

it.

And obviously I repeat.

This time, to make it more difficult,
I'm going to use more than one coin.

And I'm going to get you to write your
name.

Just put your initials on one of these
coins.

So that's your coin.

So what I want you to do is take the
coins and I want you to mix them up like

this. Mix them up in your hand. And then
put them in that hand.

Close them in the fist.

Give them one more shake.

And then hold your hand out like this.

So right now, do you have any idea where
your flying coin is in the stack? No.

So there's no way I could know, right?

Turn your hand over. Open it up.

And then really flatten it.

That's all the points.

Except for the one with the thing.

Faster than a cobra.

I don't know how he did it.

As I wandered deeper into the
neighbourhood, I was stopped by a local

patrol.

I guess they wanted to know what a guy
from Bradford was doing in the middle of

South Central LA at night.

So I decided to show them.

You guys have got handcuffs on you,
right? Yes.

What we need to do is take your
handcuffs and handcuff my right hand

to this railing.

Yeah.

I want you to peek at one card. So just
break the pack at any point and just

peek at one card.

I'm going to look away so I can't see
anything.

Make sure you both see it.

You got one? Yeah.

Done.

Your card is done.

Take a look.

You've gone, yeah?

Look.

What was the car?

Modern.

It's not one I'm going to want to risk.

These are my cuffs.

Just like they were when I put them on.

You got away from you.

Yeah. In our line of profession, we're
still somewhat suspect on things,

but like my partner just said, we're
right here and it happened right in

of us.

Roll up on somebody. The first thing you
have to do is watch their hand. Yeah.

The hand is what will kill you.

Yeah. Quick flip the wrist.

And now he's unhandcuffed and we're just
like, I wouldn't know how to explain

that one.

He had his beat.

That's all I can say.

I was back in LA and headed to YouTube's
headquarters for a seven -hour live

streamed event with one of the world's
biggest pop phenomenon, One Direction.

They'd asked me to come and perform a
piece of magic live in front of millions

of online viewers around the world.

Dynamite everybody!

What's going on? You've obviously got
these things up here. Do you want to

explain to us what is actually going on
with this here?

I wrote down a prediction on the piece
of paper. I gave it to one of your team

and they sealed it inside this box.

Here's the key to the padlocks that hold
this box secure.

Harry, I want you to keep this safe.

Okay. Swallow it. I'm going to come back
to it later, so I'll see you guys in a

bit, yeah? Alright then, cheers.
Everybody, give it up for Dynamite.

So, we're going to try something

using the people at home and you guys.

We're going to create an imaginary One
Direction concert.

Okay. I want the people at home to get
on to Google Plus and use the hashtag 1D

Dynamo Song and start sending in song
names.

Your favourite One Direction songs.

Start sending them in now. We're going
to come back to it later.

Hashtag 1D Dynamo Song. Get them in. Get
them in. So in order to make this

imaginary concert, the first thing we
need to do is decide what time of year

we're in. So just choose any month that
comes to mind.

Have you got one? Name it out loud.

November. November. Yeah.

So this concert is in November, yeah?

So the next piece of information we need
is we need to know what city we're

performing in. So where in the world we
are. So now you can choose that. We're

in Antwerp.

Antwerp. That's an interesting one.
Yeah. That was good.

Antwerp in November.

So now we need to know what song you
guys are performing, which is where the

people at home come in. So if we can get
the Google Plus up on the back behind

us. That would be nice. Can we get the
Google Plus in the back behind us?

two, one, boom!

There you go. That was good, that was
good.

I'll refresh to see what the hashtag is.
1D Dynamo song.

Okay. So there's songs coming in now.
Can you see these? Yeah. If you want to

keep refreshing, I want to scroll them
up and down.

And I want you guys together to choose
one of these songs. Should we do Strong?

Let's go for Strong, yeah.

So you're on stage performing Strong.
And halfway through the performance, you

decide that you want to bring one lucky
fan up on the stage.

Right. So we need you guys now to choose
a fan. Okay.

If you want to just go on to Google Plus
and just go through and find any fan at

random, and there's obviously like 32
million people tuning in today, so

so many to choose from. Who's it gonna
be?

Shall we go... You choose now, I think
the pressure's too much for me.

I'm gonna go... Natalie Pooja.

Pooja! Is she on here? Natalie Pooja.

Natalie Pooja.

You chose November.

You chose Antwerp.

We chose the song Strong.

And then we also chose Natalie...

Hooyah. Yep.

I did the same thing earlier on today.

I created my own imaginary One Direction
concert. I wrote it down, handed it to

a member of your team, and they sealed
it inside this box.

Right. Which is padlocked on either
side, so there's no way we can get

there. No one's been anywhere near it.
In fact, Harold, Harry, has been looking

after the key.

Thank you, Harry. You're welcome.

Do you want to undo this side? Do you
want to undo the other side?

Wait, you see, I messed this up.

Got it?

I'll do this side.

So

this

box has been sitting here from the
beginning of the show.

Harry's been looking after the key.

You've chosen all this stuff at random.
Right.

And it's been isolating this smaller
box, which will come up in a second.

very well presented, I must say.

Did you make this yourself?

I did make this prediction right here.
Right.

Want to see what I wrote down?

Can we get a close -up on the camera,
yeah?

So, in my imaginary concert, it happened
in November.

Oh!

We was in Antwerp.

You were performing... Strong.

And you brought up on the stage the very
lovely... No way. No way.

Wow.

Unbelievable.

That was pretty amazing.

That is the best trick I've ever seen.
That's the best one you've ever done.

Thank you so much. Amazing. Thank you so
much.

My Californian adventure was almost
over.

From the streets of San Francisco to the
bright lights of Hollywood, I'd met

some amazing people and hopefully left
behind some great memories.

America has always fascinated me.

It's been the birthplace of some of the
greatest icons of popular culture, and

love it or hate it, there is no denying
its influence on the world.

I hope that in a small way, I've brought
a touch of magic to this vast land.

You're good.

No.

Oh

my

god. No way.

Wow. Unbelievable.

It was my last night in LA, and I'd been
invited to a rooftop party at the

Shangri -La Hotel for the Hollywood
Science Exchange, an organisation that

promotes scientific innovation in the
movie business.

I had agreed to pass through the event
briefly, as I only had a short time

before my flight.

But while I was there, I wanted to try
and make an exit that no one would ever

forget.

I'm Dynamo, nice to meet you all.

Before I go... I want to show you one
last thing.

Oh my god, dude, look.

No, no, he's just there.

Look,

yeah.

This is crazy. Oh my God. Oh

my

gosh.

I mean,

I just don't know how one can actually
do that at this height.

There's no wires. We can see it. There's
nothing.

It's pretty high.

nothing but cement and pools down there.

And then he just got up and like cracked
his neck and walked away like no big

deal.

Weird. Jumped off the building and
walked away.

Totally normal, right? Yeah.

I don't know.

That's so surreal.

When he got up and started walking, I
just... I

mean, I'm still shocked. I still

can't believe he got up.

We heard a science event, and I have no
idea, scientifically, how he did that.

I'm still like, look at me. I'm like, he
really did that?

And Extraordinary Dynamo Magician
Impossible continues Thursday night at

Brand new and exclusive to watch.
