Deja Vu Page #3

Synopsis: A ferry filled with crewmen from the USS Nimitz and their families was blown up in New Orleans on Mardi Gras. BATF Doug Carlin is brought in to assist in the massive investigation, and gets attached to an experimental FBI surveillance unit, one that uses spacefolding technology to directly look back a little over four days into the past. While tracking down the bomber, Carlin gets an idea in his head: could they use the device to actually travel back in time and not only prevent the bombing but also the murder of a local woman whose truck was used in the bombing?

No, that's okay. But if you have keys

to her house, I would appreciate it.

Oh, she had a date.

Last night on the phone, she told me

that she was gonna meet someone,

but she didn't say who.

Her friend Beth set it up.

Beth.

Beth Walsh. Claire baby-sits

her daughter, Abbey, sometimes.

Okay.

Thank you.

That's good for now.

Somebody'll be in touch.

Agent Carlin?

Doug.

I want you to take these.

Well, that's...

Just go through them

when you get a chance.

- Well, it's really not necessary.

- Yes, it is.

See, I know how these things go,

Agent Carlin,

and I need her to matter to you.

Monday, 7:
48 p.m.

Hi, Claire. It's Dad.

My flight gets in

at 7:
55 tomorrow morning,

so don't stay up too late.

Love you. Bye-bye.

Tuesday, 9:
44 a.m.

Claire? Hi, it's Beth. Are you there?

I'm sorry to call you so early,

but you said you were gonna call me

when you got home,

and when you didn't,

I started to get worried.

Beth, is this a joke?

Oh, hey, hey! No.

Like I said, I was just worried

about you, that's all.

I can't talk right now.

Someone's here. I'll call you later.

Claire...

Tuesday, 9:
50 a.m.

Tuesday, 10:
04 a.m.

Claire, it's Dad. I did say 7:55, didn't I?

I'm here at the airport, waiting for you.

If you're not coming, I hope

you're sending Beth or someone.

Call me.

Tuesday, 1:
18 p.m.

Yeah, this is A TF Agent Doug Carlin

returning your call.

My cell number is 504-555-0130.

Tuesday, 1:
18 p.m.

Yeah, this is A TF Agent Doug Carlin

returning your call.

My cell number is 504-555-0130.

The blast wave initiated here,

hit the bulkhead

and propagated fore and aft

along the path of least resistance

until it hits this access hatch.

And that's where it gets really bad.

The blast wave continues

into the engine room,

bursting the fuel tanks.

This utility shaft here

acts like a chimney,

draws the thermal components

into the engine room,

which ignites the fuel vapor,

causing a secondary explosion

of far greater magnitude.

Essentially, the initial

device turns the whole ferry into a bomb

and detonates it.

And so our early guess

is that the bomb vehicle

was a minivan or SUV.

- Possibly red or tan.

- Make and model?

- Take weeks, maybe months.

- I got a partial on the license plate.

Sh*t.

Check all the SUVs and minivans

that are registered in the state.

Anything recently rented or purchased,

anything tied to a theft

or a missing persons report.

- Agent McCready?

- Yeah.

Doug Carlin, ATF.

Oh, yeah. Oklahoma City.

Right. That's right.

This afternoon, I witnessed an autopsy

of a young woman who washed up

off the Poland Wharf.

Heavy fuel burns,

traces of PETN on her face.

PETN, that's the base explosive
