Yeah... we tried to ride a wave.
What's this?
We had three witnesses.
A teenage kid, his friend,
and the woman who saw the stabbing.
Right, right.
We can't find them.
What's even more interesting
is the address and phone number
we got from our eyewitness don't belong to her.
So McAdams isn't our guy.
I don't have another suspect.
It's possible... traumatic event,
maybe she forgot to give me the information.
It happens.
Maybe she got evacuated.
Or maybe she's dead. Didn't make it.
It's possible.
[truck reverse beeping]
I know where she is.
Good.
Where is she?
She has a cabin.
Okay. Don't tell me.
I want you to write the address down.
Thanks, Jack.
You should be proud.
Why? Why should I be proud?
Oh, I'll think of something.
[birds tweeting]
[newscaster] Today Camtrell Corporation CEO Victor Bannister
proposed a defensive system that would protect
the shores of the United States
from other catastrophic waves.
The defensive system is called Sea Wall.
However, there's no word from Washington at this time
on whether the Sea Wall proposal has been accepted.

Um, we are going to have to move everything up.
Move it up by how much?
Well, we're going to have to go tonight.
Tonight?
That's four days ahead of schedule.

John McAdams and Sophie Marleau are not.
I'll send someone else. Yeah, well, now we don't know where they are!
We'll find them.
Edgar!
It's under control.
If it were under control they'd be dead.

Looks like we're not the only ones after him.
The way I read it.
I've got a murder suspect at a cabin.
My guys go in.
Couple of them don't come out.
That makes John McAdams public enemy number one around here.
[John] Stanley Schiff is the weak link.
Why would he be involved in this?
He wouldn't hurt a fly.
Well, he's like a kid with a new toy.
He wants Sea Wall. Somebody gave it to him.
It's not even a good idea.
It would cost so much to build.
Well, who gets to build it? Who's got the money to build it?
Who's uh, responsible for bringing all of those people together at the conference?
Who's got the media and the F.B.I....
I know. Victor. Bingo!
So he manipulated Stanley into making the waves?
That's what it is?
Stanley is... an idealist.
From his point of view it's a sacrifice
of a few hundred lives, a few coastal towns,
in order to save hundreds of millions down the line.
Victor must know that Sea Wall won't work.
Is he that greedy?
Follow the money.
You know that sculpture thing. That was a defensive weapon.
Right? She was trying to kill him.
I know. He's being setup.
Question is, by whom and where are they now?
Follow the money.
What?

Camtrell.Yeah.

Victor Bannister, of course.

For some insight, I have Dr. Jackson Wilcord,
head of the Preston Point Oceanographic Institute on the phone.
[Wilcord] Yes. Hello. Hello. Thanks for joining us.
What's your take on this? Are we going to see another tsunami?
Well, it's still not clear whether these waves were natural phenomena
or acts of terror but, in either case,
with two destructive waves so close together,
I think we have to prepare for the worst.
How can we prepare ourselves against these kinds of disasters?
Well... Firstly, there's the idea of creating a system
of breakwaters, channels for protecting the coast.

No.
You gotta be able to stop it.
It can't be stopped.

It's not just you, John. She'll die too.
Don't you love her?
Tell me how to stop it.

[newscaster] In the Atlantic ocean this evening,
two tsunamis traveling in opposite directions collided
after what scientists are calling the culmination
of a progression of seismic events
that have caused killer waves on the eastern seaboard.
Authorities are now saying that there is no basis
for speculation that the waves
could have been caused by terrorists.
[newscaster #2] In other news, officials are investigating an explosion
at the Preston Point Oceanographic Institute.
The cause of the explosion is still unknown,
but preliminary reports point to an electrical malfunction.
The explosion claimed the lives of Dr. Stanley Schiff,
Director of Development at Preston Point,
and Edgar Powell, Vice President
of the Camtrell Corporation.
The other fatality was acclaimed scientist
and novelist John McAdams,
who had recently been in the public eye
as a suspected terrorist involved in the tsunamis.
His latest novel about a tsunami
created as a weapon of mass destruction
seemed to eerily foreshadow recent events.
But now that the waves have been deemed natural disasters
and not man-made, McAdams has been fully exonerated
and his writings remain, we hope, pure fiction.
