Killer Wave (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

They're like,
I gotta be original.

These guys' jobs is to pull
people around all day long.

The second they get in,
the guy goes...

Jeff...

Thank you so much. Come on.

It's so pretty. Come on,
let's show the others.

So he thinks her
hair is falling out

and that he's dating this guy.

And he's like,
my God, there's...

I'm bringing a guy to the prom.
What am I gonna do?

So then she's like, no, no, no,
it's not what you think, right?



And then, of course,
the guy in the front, he's like,

"What's going on back
there?"

And they almost hit
like a curb or something.

Guys...

we have a little announcement
we'd like to make.

Don't! Jeff! Come on.

Yeah.

Next year a lot of us are going
away to different schools,

so Tina and I just made
a promise to each other

that we'll come back...
Shh, shh, wait, wait.

What is that?

My God!

Holy......

What is going on?



This is crazy.

This is so weird.

I've never seen anything
like this.

Go, get a fish,
bring it back, cook it.

This is crazy!

My God, it's alive!

My God!
No, no, no, no, no!

Aw, dude.
That's gross.

No!

Look at this.

This is crazy.

What is it?

Hey, look...

Hey... This is crazy.

I think I may have found
something you lost.

I'm sorry.

Look what I found.

This way I get to give it
back to you all over again.

Guys...

Run!

Come on, guys, run!

Come on, let's go, run!

Get off the beach!
Come on!

Go! Run!

The tsunami that hit the coast
of New Jersey last night

has left in its wake
a trail of tears and suffering.

Mother Nature's wrath has hit
America yet again.

We take you now to Erik Adjuk
live from the New Jersey Shore.

39 are confirmed dead.

Thousands of others are
unaccounted for and missing.

Hundreds of millions of dollars
in property damage.

Fortunately frigid temperatures
had kept many vacationers

away from the shoreline.

Otherwise the death toll
could be much, much higher.

But the question now being asked
by people, what next?

Could this unprecedented
disaster, still unexplained,

be the start of
a new ecological instability?

Chapter 12.

Chinese Water Torture.

Sam Starr's face
is contorted with pain.

The Korean leans over
with a hungry smile.

Hey! Hey.

I picked up your stuff
from Tom's.

Great!
Eyes glistening...

How was the water?

It's beautiful.

Just beautiful.

Well, here anyway.

Did you pick up a newspaper
for me out there?

Thanks.

Did you see this?

Not a chance.

Look at that.

Giant wave.

Hit New Jersey Shore.

Last night.
Right out of nowhere.

These storms just keep
getting worse and worse.

Well, "A," tidal waves are not
created by tropical storms,

and, "B," it couldn't have been
a tidal wave in the first place.

Well, that's what they're
calling it in town.

Yeah, well, people throw terms
around, but the last recorded

tidal wave in the Atlantic
was 1775.

350,000 people were killed.

Earthquake caused it.

It hit Lisbon.

Portugal.

I know where Lisbon is.

Well, anyway, point is,

tidal waves don't happen
in the Atlantic.

You're the expert.

But you might want to break
that boycott of the media,

just in case there is a warning

and I'm not around
to tell you about it.

Okay?

John, the sun is gonna
rise and set

whether or not
I read the newspaper.

Mother Nature's gonna do
whatever she's gonna do.

Don't you want to be
around to see the sunset?

I have you to protect me.
By the way,

I nearly finished
your last book.

I think this is
the best one yet.

Yeah, you always say that.

Well, I always mean it.
I just...

I don't understand why
they're not bestsellers.

Well, because it's
a conspiracy, Annabelle.

Or maybe you're not
ambitious enough.

Ha ha ha. At least with your books

I know the science
parts are right.

By the way,

that Mrs. Wilson character.

Sounds a little bit like me?

See you later.

I knew it.

Sam Starr's face
is contorted with pain.

The Korean leans over
with a hungry smile...

****

The Korean chuckles
sadistically.

"Yeah, you know, the Chinese
invented water torture

"thousands of years ago,
long before the birth of Christ.

"Crucifixion is so...

"unsophisticated,
don't you think, Mr. Starr?

"But it takes genius to take
one gentle drop of water

"and turn it into a...

an instrument of utter agony."

Another drop fell
agonizingly on him.

"You politicians
with your high-tech bombs

"and your collateral damage.

"You claim to be
an advanced civilization,

but really, you're just
cavemen in suits."

****

What's this?

There appears to have been
some kind of eruption.

The root cause of that
as yet remains unclear.

The Atlantic,
unlike the Pacific,

has no real history of
tsunamis or tidal waves.

So, unfortunately there's
a lack of monitoring devices

in place to give us
the definitive answers

that we need at this time.

Shut up, Jack.****

Sam Starr screamed
as another drop of water

crashed down on his head.

Crashed into his skull?

Yeah, that works.

****

Hello, Mr. Proofrock.

How are we today?

Good?

The Department of
Emergency is currently working

on restoring power and water
to the New Jersey communities

south of Asbury Park.

Aiding the relief effort
is the Camtrell Corporation

providing equipment
and resources.

Camtrell CEO Victor Bannister
flew to New Jersey

to see the tsunami's
destruction firsthand.

Is that him? Yeah.

John McAdams?

I'm Agent Clark.

This is Agent Brisick.

FBI.

You mind if I use your bathroom?

Right through there
on the, left-hand side.

Wipe your feet before you go in.

You need to use the toilet, too?

Is that why you're here?

No.

So this is concerning
recent events, then?

That's correct.

And I'm requested to attend why?

Well, the answer's no.

You don't have much
of a choice... sir.

Do you need anything
from inside before we go?

I understand you're a writer.

Fiction.

Fiction is a polite word for it.

I actually read
one of your books.

"Heroes Never Die."

"Don't Die."
It's an alliteration.

Double "D." Right. Right.

"My name is Starr.
Sean Starr."

The imagination
is also a muscle.

Any good at crosswords?

No.Okay, get in.

The relief effort continues

on the devastated
New Jersey Shore.

Reserves from the National Guard have
been deployed to the affected area

to assist the already
over-burdened rescue workers

who are having to deal with
an enormous human tragedy.

Unconfirmed reports
from the Red Cross suggest

that hundreds, and possibly
thousands are dead.

Let's go.

He's the King of Thebes.

The labyrinth.

The hedge. No, no, the labyrinth is...

He was in the hedge
looking around.

Well, they were going
in the... He's lost.

They sent him in
to look for the, um...

Minotaur.
The beast within.

T-H-E-S-E-U-S.

Seven... That's seven letters.

Subject of Ancient
Greek mythology, there's a...

there's a very good book on
the subject by Robert Graves.

So this is what
they've been working on

for the last six years.

John. John!

Stanley.

Heinz, how are you?

It's good to see you fellows.

Doctor, the director wants
to see you now.

John?

It's over there.

You guys know
where you're going?

Yeah, we do.

Yeah, it's this... No, no, no, no.

It's down here.

Yeah, just down here.

There it is.

You sure? Yeah.

John.-

Great that you could make it.

No, no, no, no.Yeah.

Thanks for the polite
invitation.

Thank you, gentlemen.

We'll wait outside.

Well?
What's going on?

Sit down, John.
Make yourself at home.

Can I get you anything?
A drink?

No, it's too early.
What do you want? Let's go.

Look, John, I know that
you don't want to be here.

Well...

I mean, I'd like
to have the choice.

If you had a choice,
would you have come?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Look John, these waves,
they pose a serious threat

to the entire Eastern Seaboard.

Dealing with that is obviously
a high priority.

These waves?

I thought there was only one.

No. There were at least
two others, we think.

One in the western Barents Sea,

the other hit the northeast
coast of Greenland.

Why didn't I know about that?

I guess you're just
out of the loop.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, there's an article
in a Scandinavian journal.

It was very speculative.
I'll get you a copy.

Speculative about what?

Well, exactly
what you'd think...

Un... undetected
seabed eruptions.

But that far north,
I mean, who knows, right?

It could be a host of things.

Rogue waves, polar storms.

The one thing that
we know for certain

is that both events were
accompanied by high winds.

But that didn't happen here.

Yes.

So that's not a factor.

No.So...

what we're really looking at...

is...

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not doing this, Jack.

John.
John, wait.

I'm out of the loop.Wait.

Listen.

A completely unpredictable
natural force

just devastated part of
the American coast, okay?

I'm the guy responsible
for finding a solution.

Now, I need the A-list
of scientific minds

in that room in two minutes.

And I'm on that list.

Of course you are, John.

Look, listen.

Let's just let
the past be the past

until we get through this, okay?

Everybody should be
there by now.

I need your help, John.

I'm on that list.

Which way? This way.

You sure about that?

Where're we going,
the boardroom?

Straight ahead, boys.

I want to start,
gentlemen, and ladies,

by thanking you all for coming
on such short notice.

The images that we're looking at
are of the devastation caused

by the tidal wave
that hit the beaches

of the southern shores
of New Jersey.

A stark reminder, if one were
needed, of the importance

and urgency
of our task here today.

There's definitely no doubt
about that.

Excuse me, but we have
no images of the Greenland

or Barents tsunamis.

No we do not, Dr. Sanjee.

Two of these waves originated
above the Arctic Circle

where the catastrophe
of melting ice caps

provides a possible explanation.

But the most recent event is
inexplicable in these terms.

Except we don't know
exactly how far

the effects of warming
have reached.

Well, there is a consensus.

Which is biased
by special interest.

This isn't a time
for speculation.

Let's stay focused,
shall we? Please.

Are you saying
that all three waves

seem to have originated
in offshore disturbances?

What does this mean?

Well, it's a general term,
Dr. Lichtner,

meaning we don't know.

The most recent incident,

some sort of seismic activity
was recorded,

but the source
remains mysterious.

There's no precedent
for volcanic activity.

There's no precedent
for this wave either.

Volcanic activity is increasing.

Sea levels are rising.

New examples of tectonic
instability are manifest

in all the oceans of the world!

We are dealing with a completely
new set of rules here,

ladies and gentlemen.

Dr. Schiff, this is hardly
the time or the place

to promote your agenda.

I'm not promoting an agenda.

I'm trying to find a solution!

Gentlemen, please.

All right, none of us are here
to promote an agenda,

none of us are here
to pursue personal rivalries.

This is an inexplicable
phenomenon of nature.

Now, if Dr. Schiff's ideas
can shed light on it,

we are all duty-bound
to listen to him.

Dr. Wilcord, may I?

Certainly, Dr. Lichtner.

It may be also that there is
disagreement here

because we are looking for
solutions, answers in nature.

The alternative may be
unthinkable.

We all know that the...
the technology exists.

We have known this
since World War II,

the work of Professor Leech.

There are people in this room

who have worked on just such
a project recently.

Project Seal
as I believe it was called.

Sea Lion. Sea Lion, yes.

I... I thank you for
correcting me, Dr. McAdams.

With respect, Dr. Lichtner,
I think we're getting off track.

Look at the evidence.

The simplest solution is most
usually the right one.

And the solution here is that
these waves were man-made.

The events in Greenland
and the Arctic were tests.

Their locations were chosen
for their remoteness.

The tidal wave that hit
the New Jersey coast, however,

was a deliberate and direct
assault on the United States.

This is...

Ladies and gentlemen, ple...

Order.

Please, can I have some order?

Yes.

Thank you.

Dr. Lichtner, obviously
we considered this idea,

and trust me, we have given it
a great deal of study,

but the fact
of the matter is, there's...

there's simply no evidence
to support it.

Now, that's leaving aside
who would commit such an act.

Terrorists!

It was a terrorist act!

We cannot simply leap
to this conclusion

without first exhausting all
possible alternate explanations.

But the wave fits no category
except for the type

created during project,
Sea Lion,

which demonstrated
the techniques

for this very clearly.

Dr. Lichtner...

I think you'd agree
that nobody knows more

about the intricacies
of Sea Lion than myself.

Which is probably,
I have no doubt,

exactly why I'm here.

The intent of Sea Lion...

was not to create a weapon
of mass destruction.

The intent was to harness
the power of the ocean

as an answer to impending
ecological disaster.

It's a disaster
which is being encouraged

by a number of factors
including overpopulation

and an unfortunate
addiction to fossil fuels.

So, we created the technology,

but we failed, you see.

Because the energy source for
that technology, the ocean,

is fundamentally unstable.

You can create a tidal wave,
but you can't control it.

As a humanitarian tool,
it's flawed.

Um, as a weapon of war, well,

it's just unpredictable.

Some of us remember the tragic
lessons of that day.

Yes, we do.

However, practically,

if we speak of terrorism,
control is not an issue.

They wish simply
for destruction.

They don't care where
or how much.

We have radar reports,
Dr. Lichtner.

We have satellite imagery.

There's no evidence of abnormal
activity in the area.

Is that conclusive?

For the present, yes.

Until or unless other
information comes to the surface.

I mean, this is certainly one
of a number of possible causes,

and our National Security Agencies
are pursuing all avenues of inquiry.

However, since
as of this meeting

we have no evidence
to support it,

I feel our purpose here demands

that we focus on possible
natural causes.

You see what
I'm up against, John?

You mean Sanjee and you?

Two years ago
at the N.R.A.S., I...

I presented my Sea Wall idea.

He deliberately misunderstood
the whole concept.

And he's ridiculed
the whole thing ever since.

Can you...?

Thanks.

Sea Wall?

Well, it's not the best name,

but I just wanted something
that people could identify.

See, what I have in mind
is a very complex scheme

of breakwaters and channels
encircling the coast,

it's a buffer against
rising sea levels.

You understand.
You know it's coming, John.

In 50 years...

I mean, how much
of our coastline,

especially on the Atlantic
side, is gonna be underwater?

Right. I mean, we've got
to do something.

Why not start now?

Here you go.

Between you and me,

there's some real
interest in the idea.

Stanley. Stanley. No, no, really.

I know what you're thinking,

but it's not like that
this time, really.

This time... Stanley.

They're really interested.
Stanley, Stanley...

Major, major players.

You've got to just relax
a little bit, okay?

Learn to...

I don't know,
go to the beach or something.

No, no, no.
Listen, listen.

They're catching on this time.

Really, they're catching on.

John, believe me,
this is gonna happen.

I'm telling you, John,
their minds are really starting to open.

And you know
what happens then? What?

Their assets are sure to follow.

John, Stanley,
if I could have a quick word.

I'm about to go face the wolves,

but I think that it's
extremely important

that we all be on the same page.

At least publicly for now.

So John, what I'm asking is that

we refrain from making
any public statements.

Yep.Okay.
Thank you, Stanley.

P.R., that's what
he's all about.

Yeah.

This has really grown.

Yeah, it's huge now.

It's changed.

What's the red button for?

Right.

And who's financing this?

Well, Stanley, as a purest
you ought to know.

You can't serve two masters.

Hi.

Hi, John.

Hi, Sophie.

How are you?

Good.

I didn't know you were here.

Yeah, two and a half years now.

Well, I'm really
out of the loop.

So I hear.

The hermit of Quinimac.

Yeah.

You have time for a coffee
or anything?

Yeah, sure.

Let's go.
Yeah? Yeah.

Okay.
No, it's right there.

It's changed.

Everything's changed.

Stanley, I'll see you later.

Bye.

Guys.

Guys, I'm just going
for a coffee.

So what's your
role in all of this?

I'm...

Here I'm supposed to be
second in command.

But Jack being Jack...

Yeah, the great pretender.

Say no more.
Second in command, right.

First in command.

No, well, he's good
with corporate sponsors,

so I leave that to him.

He loves that stuff.

Yeah.

So who sponsored
this conference?

This one falls under the
National Security umbrella.

They asked for it.

So we just brought people
together.

Well, that explains those guys.

Yeah, I didn't know about that.

Just take it as a compliment.

Shows how much
you're wanted here.

Well, it's not really...

It's why I'm wanted here,
that's what's funny.

There's a lot of concern
that this could spark paranoia

if people suspect
it's a terrorist attack.

Yeah.

And you ran Sea Lion.

I guess Jack thought
you would be the best person

to dispel the rumors.

That's nice of him.

Just because you're paranoid
doesn't mean

they're not out to get you.

Whoever they are.

So how's it going with this
natural, wave theory?

Not well.

That's not exactly why
I wanted to talk to you.

No? Why?

Well, I guess seeing you
brought back memories,

that's all.

Right.

I never had a friend
like Ann, so...

Yeah?

Gotta...

We've got to go, right?

I got to...

Sorry.

I've got to get back
with these guys.

Sorry.

Ciao.
Bye.

Nice to see you again.

All right.
You know they way now?

Yeah, we're going home.

That's good.

Annabelle.

Hey.

There's some chili on
the stove if you're hungry.

You see anybody around my place?

No, why?

Somebody break in? Yeah.

What?

They take anything?

No, not that I know of.

But...

the door was wide open.

Well, maybe the wind
blew it open.

No.

Yeah...

No, I didn't see anything.

Okay, thanks.

I heard a boat.

A boat?

Yeah, this afternoon.

I didn't see it, but I heard it.

Small boat.

Okay.

Thanks.

The cleanup, currently underway,

is expected to continue
for several months,

but the Camtrell Corporation
is already focusing

on reconstruction.

Earlier today, after touring
the disaster area,

Camtrell CEO Victor Bannister
pledged millions of dollars

to help New Jersey residents
rebuild their homes and communities.

Now, despite the company being
under active investigation

by the Securities Commission,
Bannister is heading

to Boston tonight to receive
a Man of the Year award

from the National
Entrepreneurship Association.

Now, what we see on television

cannot begin to depict
the range of destruction.

The tidal wave that hit
the New Jersey coast

is a wake-up call for all of us.

It's time, it's way overdue

that the American
business community

face the reality that we are
in world crisis.

I would like
to take a moment here

just to extend my own personal
gratitude and thanks

to the director of Operations
for the Emergency Relief office,

Olivia McPhee.

Olivia, thank you.

Olivia... Olivia...

Thank you, Olivia.

Thank you, thank you very much,
Olivia, for all your help.

Global warming is real.

Ice caps melting is real.

Sea levels rising is real.

The future of this country
and of this planet depends on us

and we must face the challenge
before it's too late.

Thank you.

Thank you all, thank you all.

Thank you again, Olivia!

Thank you.

Now I will have a glass of wine.

That was very provocative.

Victor.
Great speech.

Thank you. Very well done.

Let's hope they paid attention.

Well, they pretended to. Victor?

You should really say
good night to Olivia.

Victor?

She's right over here.Victor.

She right in the next room.

In there.

I just need to say
good-bye to Victor.

Yeah, don't forget to
confirm the fundraising...

Jack.

Olivia...
Excuse us.

So good to see you.

Thanks for coming
all the way from D.C.

with your plate so full.

I wouldn't have missed it.

I'm honored.

Come.
Let's have a private word.

All right.

Victor, it's bad enough I have
to show up for this charade.

I do not enjoy having it
called to everyone's attention.

Olivia, nothing public
ever stays hidden.

In the current climate,
the OER should not be seen

to be awarding contracts
to friends.

Olivia, nobody's paying
any attention

to this association whatsoever.

Don't be so sure.

The department is under
intense scrutiny right now,

and in case you've forgotten,
so are you.

I've... I've done my duty,
I'm leaving.

I just...

Good night, Victor.

Thank you.
Congratulations.

Thanks for coming!

Good night.

Well, that was an ordeal.

Olivia,
she just doesn't understand the show.

Good evening, Mr. Bannister,
I'm Arthur Brand,

with the "Globe."

Arthur, it's a party.

Why don't you have
another drink?

Would you like to comment on the Justice
Department's probe of Camtrell Corporation?

Probe, that's a very intimate,
very personal kind of thing.

I understand a special
prosecutor is gonna be named.

Listen, if you want to write
about Mr. Bannister,

why don't you write
about all the donations

he's made to various
foundations, all...

Even though he likes to keep it
private, all over the world.

I think your car is
right out front here.

Victor!

Sophie.

Sophie, I almost missed you.

I'm so proud of you. It's so nice...

It's so good to see you.

That was a great speech.

Nothing.Yeah.

Just trying to keep up
with your accomplishments.

Don't make me compare
myself to you.

No, no, no, no, no.

I plagiarized my whole speech
from your "Nature" article.

You did? I did.

Well, that's fine.

Take care of him.

He's a precious cargo.

Good night.

Give my love to Margaret.

I will.

Despite the probe
by the Department of Justice

on the allegation of bribery,

Victor Bannister was honored
tonight in Boston.

Under heavy scrutiny
by the authorities,

Mr. Bannister delivered
a passionate speech

about global warming

and its effects and
consequences on the weather.

How is she?

She seems better.
She's had a good day.

I'm home, Margaret.

It was quite an evening.

A full house.

Sophie, Ann's friend was
there, sends her love.

Who are you?

Yeah.

These aren't story notes,
this is a puzzle.

Number one,
somebody comes into the house.

Number two, they know
and this is important,

they know that
nobody's gonna be here.

Number three, they arrive
by a small boat.

Is this important?
Maybe, maybe not.

But they don't take anything
as far as one can see.

Instead, four, they plant
something on the computer

encrypted with a map.

I wonder...

Five, the file cannot
be deleted.

What are they trying to tell me?

Six, a phone rings.

I don't have a phone.

Who are you?!

You guys.

What do you want?

You always drive like that?

Why are you following me?

Orders, Doctor.

Orders from who?

Just doing your jobs?
Is that what it is?

Okay, stop following me,
all right?

You don't have much
of a choice, Doctor.

I'm out.

Okay, nobody's dragging me
back in this!

Now leave me alone!

Clark.

Yeah, just a minute.

What? Phone call.

For me? Take it.

Yeah.

Amid mounting pressure
for a tsunami early warning system

across the East Coast, another
one has been reported.

The category 5 tidal wave
apparently hit

uninhabited areas
of Newfoundland in Canada.

I just feel it, that's all.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Jack?

He was called away.

So there's been another wave.

Yeah, I just received
the satellite imagery.

It hit last night,
approximately 11:50 p.m.

Point of origin seems
to have been here.

About 600 miles offshore.

And the point of impact was
along this peninsula.

Right there, yeah.

Luckily it was uninhabited,
damage is minimal.

However... No, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Can you zoom in there
on the impact zone?

Yeah.

Why?

Look.

See that?

It's the impact zone.

I found that yesterday
on my computer.

Somebody put it there.
I didn't know what it was.

When yesterday?

While I was here.
Long before 11:50.

Man-made.

Has to be a reason for this
being there on the computer.

Somebody planted it there.

Which means...

they're trying to frame me
in some way.

This is everything
I could collect.

There's not much data yet,

but it seems to follow
the pattern.

You know what this means,
don't you?

The wave.
It has to be man-made.

Aren't you jumping
to a conclusion? Just...

No.Take the...

Listen, I'm jumping
to theconclusion.

Listen to me.

If the wave was natural,

why would somebody
put a map of it

on my computer
before it happened?

No, but why would somebody
do it anyway?

I don't understand the motive.

Motive? Yeah.

Well...

Let's say there was an inquiry.

So they take my computer,
they open it up,

they find a file with a map
of a wave before it happened.

What does that look like?

Now, take into consideration

that I am the man
who created Sea Lion.

I left in a storm
of controversy,

chip on my shoulder, yes, see,
all starts to fit a profile.

I look like a terrorist.

You make it sound like
there's a huge conspiracy.

Just like in one of your books.

But it's not.

"One of my books."
You think I'm imagining this?

I don't know.

I can't delete that file
from my computer.

Somebody put it there

and they want to leave it there.

You think I'm imagining that?

Maybe you think I put it there?

Is that it? No.

I gotta go.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna ask some questions

from somebody who can
give me some answers.

Okay, I'll go with you then.

Why?

Because I want to know.

Because you think I'm paranoid.

Or you think
that I did it myself.

I don't know, John. All right.

Well, I'll tell you what.
I want you to come.

Please, after you.

So I can prove to you
that I'm not...

The map actually is
on my computer

long before the wave
actually hits and...

Take care, Doc!

I'm hungry.

So, Marlon,
where are we going for lunch?

Get some chowder?

Let's go grab a bite.

The F.B.I. guys have
stopped trailing me.

So who exactly
are we going to see?

Mel, my computer genius.

Mel.

Cody.
Come here.

John! Hi.

Hi.This is Sophie.

Hi.Nice to meet you.

Sophie, Mel. Nice to meet you,
come on in.

How you doing? Hi, I'm good, how are you?

I'm good.

It's really messy in here,
I'm sorry.

It's always messy in here.

John, let me see your baby.

Yeah, there she is.

John, you've never met
my grandma, have you?

No.

She is a trip.

I had to take her
to play mahjong.

I mean, I really hope
I don't live long enough

that somebody has to take me
to play mahjong.

But she's funny,
she's hilarious.

Everything in here has a story.

Do you guys want some tea
or cookies, or some...

We need to, figure this out.

Okay, John, yeah.Quickly.

You can't rush the genius.
You ought to know that.

So are you guys together?

'Cause I'm always telling John
he needs to find somebody.

I mean, I don't trust him out
there on the ocean by himself.

I keep thinking
he's gonna turn into like

the Unabomber or something.

No, we're not together....

If you say so.

Can we do this?
This is...

It's started up?

Yes.

So what's up here?

Well, you see this file
with the question mark?

Yes.

I just want to know,
how did it get on there?

John, you need to get
with the times.

Properties.

2:17 p.m. yesterday.

That's exactly the time
when I was at the Institute.

Can you open it, by any chance?

Yes, I can.

Wow.

What is that?

This is encryption.

It's really advanced.

Hi, Dr. Lichtner?

Yeah.

No, we're in the middle
of something, but...

This is gonna take me
a while, John.

How long?

Like a day.

Maybe in an hour? How can I reach you?

Well, you know you can't
get in touch with me.

I don't have a phone.
I'll call you.

Okay, that's fine.
Just for the record...

Yes? Right, I'm not
computer literate,

No, no.
So I couldn't do that.

It's fine, I got it.
It's okay.

A day?

At least a day.

Sorry, Professor.
I thought you were out.

All right.

I'll come back later.

What are you looking at?

There.

Where? Right there.

See that?

Yeah, what is it? It's a tracking device.

No.
I can't use this car anymore.

Heinz called.
He wants to see us.

Where's your car?

It's at my place.

You want to go and get it?

I believe you.
Let's go.

You know, this technology
is making us soft.

I don't think so.

We still have to use our minds.

For what?

Well, like trying to figure out

what he's doing
at Sophie Marleau's condo.

Well, I can make an
educated guess about that.

How would you like it?

Black, no sugar.

You look tired.

I am tired.

Have your coffee.
I'm going to change.

Um... maybe Lichtner
knows something

and we'll be able
to figure this out.

Yeah.

Hey, you think they're...

No, I don't think so.

They were pretty tight
at the Institute.

Nah, that McAdams guy
doesn't strike me

as that kind of person.

Well, they've been
up there a long time.

I think they are.

No.

Yeah.
No.

Yeah, you want to bet?
I don't want to bet, no.

Listen, I'll bet you 20 bucks.

Keep your money. I don't want to bet.
All right, come on, a buck.

I don't want to bet.
What, are you hard of hearing?

I don't want to bet! You see?

Are all these sculptures yours?

Yeah.

One of them is.

The white one.

How'd you know? It's nice.

Better than your coffee.

What's it about, then?
You tell me.

Do you really want to know?

Yeah.
What's it...

What's it called?

It's called
"La Mort de Rayon."

I thought you said
you read only one of my books.

Yeah, they're Jack's.

He made me borrow them.

I didn't know he was a fan.

Yeah, apparently.

He wanted me to read
"Heroes Don't Die" first.

Why?

I don't know why.

Maybe because it's
about a terrorist attack

on the United States
of America...

using a natural disaster
as a weapon.

Yeah, maybe.

My car's in the back.

I think we should go.

Okay, thank you.
You don't have to park.

You can drop me here.

I'm good by myself, goodbye.

John. Can you just stay?

No, no, I want to
find out what he has to say.

No, look, please, Sophie.

This is my meeting.
Can you just...

Why are you underlining
passages in my book?

They were Jack's books.

He probably marked it himself.

Heinz.

Thank...
thank you for coming.

Are you okay? No.

This is why I had to see you.

We should walk.
Keep moving.

Sure.

I need to say first,
what I tell you both

must be confidential.

Of course, Heinz.Yeah.

I... I say this because
I believe things

have reached a critical point.

What do you mean?

There's going to be
another wave.

Why you say that?

They're manmade.

They're definitely manmade.

There can be
no question about that.

Yes, I know that. So, it makes sense.

After New Jersey, why create

the waves that hit...
hit Labrador, yeah?

Somebody is trying to
get a message across, yeah?

And that means
that they'll being using

that same method, and...

But who? The waves will get larger.

Yes, we know that,
but who's doing this?

Heinz... who?

John, Sophie, listen.

Because we cannot know
who is responsible,

there is danger.

We cannot trust anybody.Okay.

Nobody.
Don't you understand me?

Yeah, I mean, this is
why you called me, right?

No, no, no, you called... Unh!

Heinz? Heinz? Heinz!

Hey! Heinz?

My God, he's got a knife!

Heinz? Heinz!
Is there a doctor here?

Heinz?

Over here!

Please, somebody!

Sophie! Let's go!

Gotta go.

John!

John, just talk
to me please, okay.

John, please come out.

You can't just
leave me like that

on the other side of the door
after what happened.

You think it's all about
you, but it's not.

I'm part of this now,
we're together, so...

Come out, John!

John, please come out
of the bathroom, please!

John, I'm scared.

Come out, please.

Heinz Lichtner called you.

How did he know I was with you?

You wanted me to believe that
you're not involved in this?

Well, you have to
trust me when I'm saying

that I'm not a part
of this either.

Why?

I know you're being set-up.
I know you didn't kill him.

I know that.

Yeah.

Now I know that I can trust you,

but you have to trust me also.

Then it won't work.

We interrupt regular
programming for late breaking news.

What?

Sources close to the
murder investigation confirm

McAdams and Lichtner
were colleagues

who disagreed publicly
in recent days

over events surrounding
the New Jersey tidal wave.

More recently, McAdams authored

several science-based thrillers,

one of which involved
terrorist attacks

against the United States
using manmade storm systems.

Yeah, that's him.
That's McAdams.

And who shot this?

The kid right
there with the camera.

Little Johnny Rotten?

It's a good break for us.

Is that the knife?

Yeah.

Entered his side, angled up
under the ribcage.

That's kinda precise for an
amateur, don't you think?

Maybe he just knows anatomy.

Captain, where's
your eye witness?

She's supposed to
be here by now.

When did that call come in?

5:10.

Captain, when was
the time of death?

5:15.

There you go, ma'am.

Thank you.

Now... you saw this man
stab Dr. Lichtner?

Yes, I saw.

For sure. Yeah, some other patrons

say they might have
seen someone else rush...

No, no, no, no, no.

This man, this picture
right here.

Aah!

There's absolutely
no mistake about it.

All right.

Shoot.

Okay, Frank, Frank...

Why, why would McAdams

stab and kill a man
he knows really well

in a public place
for everyone to see him?

Maybe he didn't plan to.

They were talking,
something got said, you know.

Yeah, but that implies
he brought a knife.

That's premeditation.

And what about
that Marleau girl?

Is she in it with him?

Wait...

We brought him over to see
Jackson Wilcord, right?

Right?
It's...

Yeah.

So he leaves.

So she slips him the knife.

They know each other.

It's possible, but...

He ditches us
to get to that place.

Don't forget that.

I'm not forgetting that.

And Johnson's
gonna wind up here.

There's a kick and the pitch.

It's outside.

Martinez takes the lead.

It's bottom of the seventh here.

And here comes Johnson
now to talk to him.

So what's your call, Tommy?

I think he's gonna leave him in.

I hate places like this.
We're meeting him here?

Yeah, he should be inside.

You're late.

Jeez!
Sorry.

You scared me.

Did everything go smoothly?

Yes, sir, exactly
according to plan.

How was she? Perfect.

They believed every word.

There are no loose ends?

No, sir.
No, no, nothing.

Are you sure? Absolutely.

What about you?
Are you a loose end?

No, of course not. Even if you're tortured?

No.!

Even if someone
forces you to tell?

So few people
have strength anymore.
